The units were located in 

Linwood Park and will be 

moved to an empty lot on 

Guild St once the city council 

reaches a decision on its 

suitability for the area. 

Stapletons Rd resident 

Rick Blackburn whose house 

overlooks the site is strongly 

against the development. 

“I am absolutely against it. 

This is right in the middle 

of an established heritage or 

character area which does not 

comply with the council’s code 

for areas like this,” said Mr 

Blackburn.

Residents 

still angry 

over 

motorway 

concerns 

• By Bea Gooding 

RESIDENTS AFFECTED by 

major roadworks in northern 

Christchurch are worried for their 

safety in anticipation of increased 

traffic in the area. 

The extension of the Northern 

Motorway feeds into the St Albans 

area, with the project delivered in 

three distinct stages – the Northern 

Arterial extension, Cranford St 

upgrade and the controversial 

Downstream Effects Management 

Plan. 

The Christchurch Northern Corridor 

Alliance’s $240m motorway is 

expected to be completed next year. 

But in spite of the project nearing 

completion, the St Albans community 

still demand solutions to their 

concerns. 

The project aims to improve 

safety, reduce congestion and lower 

travel times – but the St Albans 

community continues to disagree. 

Said St Albans resident Mark 

Wilson, who spoke to Nor’West 

News on behalf of the community: 

“Do we just accept our fate, or 

continue to push for the community 

over commuting traffic?”

New World Fendalton 

emerges transformed 

AFTER AN 18-month 

refurbishment, New World 

Fendalton has emerged 

transformed with the 

completion of the supermarket’s 

extensive revamp. 

The upgrade has seen a 

complete re-design of the building, 

with the supermarket’s 

size increasing by 500 sq m. 

The number of checkouts has 

boosted along with an expanded 

range of products on offer. 

Brothers James and Richard 

Turner are continuing their 

family legacy as third-generation 

owners and operators of New 

World Fendalton. 

Said James: “It really has been 

a team effort, and to see our 

community enjoy the refurbished 

store has been incredibly 

rewarding. It brings together the 

hard work of so many people.” 

Other new features include an 

ecostore refillery and the installation 

of a new butchery counter. 

In addition, energy-saving 

refrigeration and a daylight 

harvesting system to reduce 

electricity use has been installed 

in a bid to reduce the store’s 

LEGACY: Richard (left) and James Turner are third-generation owners and operators of New

carbon footprint. 

New World Fendalton has a 

strong family history. The brothers’ 

great grandfather Walter 

Turner immigrated to Christchurch 

when he was just 14-yearsold 

and secured a job in a local 

grocery store, and eventually 

owned the store in 1936. 

Walter’s son, Jim, affectionately 

known as ‘Gentleman Jim,’ took 

over the store in 1961 and had 

owned it up until his death in 

2016. Originally part of Fendalton 

Mall, the Memorial Ave store 

had been owned by the Turner 

family since its opening and up 

until 1970, it was named Turners 

Grocers. 

Richard believed their greatgrandfather 

Walter and grandfather 

Jim would be proud of 

the supermarket’s evolution and 

continuation of its characteristic 

family business charm. 

Said Richard: “Supermarkets 

have changed a lot since the 

business opened back in the 

1930s. I think changes we have 

made will ensure we continue 

to provide a top-class shopping 

experience for decades to come, 

just like our grandfathers did 

before us.” 

James and Richard are 

carrying on the family legacy, 

continuing to be a mainstay 

of New Zealand’s grocery 

collective, but also an 

integral cornerstone of the 

local western Christchurch 

community. 

In Brief 

MCLEANS ISLAND SAFETY 

Safety concerns on Pound 

Rd and Mcleans Island Rd 

were raised by workers in the 

area at the latest Waimāero/ 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board meeting. 

The speed limit was reduced to 

80km/h, but large numbers of 

heavy vehicles passing by still 

posed risks. 

LANGDONS RD TRAFFIC 

Langdons Rd residents have 

been informed of possible 

solutions regarding safety 

concerns when entering or 

exiting properties due to the new 

Northlink shopping complex. 

The Waipapa/Papanui-Innes 

Community Board advised that 

white lines will be re-installed 

near driveways and the city 

council will regularly monitor 

the situation going forward. 

GRANTS APPROVED 

A $500 grant has been approved 

for Kayleigh Anne Wheeler as 

she heads to the 2020 World 

Irish Dance Championships in 

Dublin, Ireland this April. A 

group of Papanui High School 

students will also receive a 

grant of $1800 for attending 

the Australian International 

Music Festival this July in 

Sydney, Australia. The grants 

were made possible by the

Your Local Views 

Community split in two: Where to from here? 

Mark Wilson 

writes about 

how the 

Christchurch 

Northern 

Corridor 

motorway 

will 

adversely 

affect the St Albans 

community 

THE DOWNSTREAM effects 

on St Albans from the new 

Northern motorway coming 

along Cranford Street will be 

considerable and permanent. 

The project has been delivered 

in three distinct stages – not as 

an overall package of work: 

1. Northern Arterial Extension 

(NArT) 

2. Cranford St Upgrade (CSU) 

3. Downstream Effects Management 

Plan (DEMP). 

The NArT and CSU required 

resource consent and were subject 

to local, regional and central 

government laws and regulations. 

However the city council 

and the New Zealand Transport 

Agency (NZTA) decided the 

DEMP – the direct impacts on 

the community – did not warrant 

the same level of scrutiny. 

The motorway traffic would 

use the existing Cranford St corridor 

from Innes Rd south. This 

meant no requirement by the city 

council to purchase property, no 

resource consents, and a ‘sweat 

the asset’ attitude. 

Only through community 

pressure was an additional clause 

added ‘for a period of 10 years 

after opening’, the city council 

must monitor the downstream 

effects of traffic from the NArT 

on residential areas, not arterial 

roads. Mitigation is required if 

an increase of 30 per cent traffic 

attributable to the NArT occurs. 

The plan lacks any restriction 

on the amount of traffic allowed 

to travel along St Albans’ arterial 

roads. Consequently there is an 

expectation of an almost 100 per 

cent increase in traffic volumes 

within five years of the NArT 

opening. 

Mitigation for residential areas 

has focused on keeping traffic on 

arterials and deterring rat runners 

commuting through local 

streets with various measures. 

These include turning restrictions, 

speed restrictions, and 

traffic ‘calming.’ 

These restrictions also impact 

residents trying to access or exit 

their local streets. But mitigation 

doesn’t address the cause of the 

problem, by definition it merely 

looks at limiting damage. 

IMPACT: 

Mairehau 

resident 

Mark Wilson 

said the 

community 

affected by 

the Northern 

Motorway 

works 

demand a 

solution to 

the increased 

congestion 

expected for 

the area. 

PHOTO: 

GEOFF 

SLOAN 

The community wants a 

traffic demand management 

solution to the NArT problem, 

such as public transport and 

high occupancy vehicle priority 

measures to reduce single 

occupancy traffic. This TDM 

stance has won some concessions 

from the city council who will 

dedicate any additional lanes 

on Cranford St to HOV and PT 

only, leaving one northbound 

and one southbound lane 

unrestricted on St Albans’ 

arterials. 

Another win was making Environment 

Canterbury and the 

Waimakariri District Council 

bring forward and expand the 

express bus service utilising 

the NArT route, with park and 

ride facilities at Rangiora and 

Kaiapoi. 

Outcomes from the most 

recent meeting were: there is still 

much the community can fight 

for and influence, even though 

contractors are now digging up 

roads and large scale city council 

engagements are over. 

Public transport must improve, 

we want one authority in 

charge. Public transport must be 

run as a service not an out-dated 

business model. 

We are motivated and will be 

making noise. 

Entering and exiting 

properties will be dangerous, and 

the ability to access residential 

streets is severely compromised 

with multiple blocks needing to 

be travelled to get home. 

Pedestrian and cyclist safety 

has also been compromised with 

the focus on getting as many 

cars to flow down the corridors, 

essentially Cranford St has been 

given to the cars. 

We don’t accept that, and will 

continue to fight it. 

•A follow-up meeting will 

be held on March 3, 7pm, 

St Albans Tennis Club to 

discuss action plans.

Attitudes and Lattitudes 

“As an American down under for more than 37 years, I realise I have 

become addicted to the Southern Latitudes and the continuously 

changing landscape of New Zealand. The bounteous flora, fauna, 

landscape and weather provide a rich smorgasbord of images, never 

static.” 

“My painting process usually begins with a single object. Following 

several preparatory sketches. I then start the process of adding other 

images, as well as fabricated bits and pieces. It is the unforgiving 

aspect of watercolour painting and the flexibility of moving three 

dimensional components around on the surface that excites me. 

Using a combination of fabricated tromp l’oeil paper objects and 

the underlying painted surface, I hope to create work that is both 

completely familiar and yet new again. Like life itself, each work 

resonates with both the story and history associated with some objects, 

and the imagined potential of others.” 

This exhibition is John’s fourth at Little River Gallery. His passions in 

life clearly drive the content of his art. Fishing, observing birds and 

weather, nostalgic collections, conservation, typography and word 

play are skillfully rendered and arranged with the designer’s eye. It is 

difficult to appreciate the three dimensionality of John’s work without 

the work before you. We love the appreciative sounds coming from 

the gallery as the observer realises the extra dimension and life like 

qualities John manages to achieve with paper.

Mural brightens Bishopdale 

LOCAL SCHOOLS and street 

artists have banded together to 

create an interactive mural; a 

pop of colour aimed to brighten 

Bishopdale. 

The selfie-friendly mural, created 

by street artist Jake Clark, 

featured a kereru, kea, bees and 

sunflowers, complemented by a 

sky and mountain scene that can 

be found at the Bishopdale Village 

Green. 

Mr Clark, who has worked 

on multiple city projects, drew 

inspiration from flora and fauna 

in the area. 

“I wanted to create something 

to reflect the surrounding area. 

I used the narrative of the mural 

to place native birds in the sky 

scene,” said Mr Clark. 

“An element from the brief 

was to include a pair of wings 

for photo opportunities so that 

people can get a selfie with the 

wings behind them.” 

Mr Clarke believed that areas 

like the Village Green were essential 

to the regeneration of 

Christchurch and the local community. 

“It has been great to add to the 

open space and collaborate with 

the community to deliver something 

we can be really proud of,” 

he says. 

Several special art panels will 

also adorn the wall in the next

two weeks, but the mural itself is 

now completed. 

Inspired by the theme of 

“windows over Bishopdale,” 

students from Isleworth School, 

Emmanuel Christian School, 

Breens Intermediate, Casebrook 

Intermediate and Papanui High 

School have created the five 

panels. 

Said Mr Clark: “The positive 

feedback and the impressive artwork 

from our local schools has 

been a highlight for me.” 

“I hope that people get a lift from 

the artworks and can take some 

pride in this great little area.” 

The new work – on a local 

business wall – contributed to a 

regeneration programme for the 

central area, including the development

UPROAR: Temporary units 

at Linwood Village will be 

moved to Guild St for social 

housing if the city council 

approves the plans. 


•From page 1 

“The site is not suited in any 

way, shape or form for this 

development. I recognise that 

social housing is a need, but a 

much better place for this would 

be the old Shirley Boys’ High 

School site.” 

The SBHS site on North Pde 

is flat and closer to amenities 

such as The Palms. The Guild St 

site is not flat and leads to the removal 

of a 50-year-old heritage 

tree, limited on-street parking, 

more congestion and only has 

one access point, he said. 

Fifteen temporary units were 

purchased by the Christchurch 

Methodist Mission from its 

previous owners, the Ōtautahi 

Community Housing Trust. 

Last week, a community 

information evening was led by 

the CMM outlining their intentions 

for the units. The mission’s 

executive director Jill Hawkey 

said prospective tenants were 

for families who had severe and 

persistent housing needs according 

to the Ministry of Social 

Development. 

Said Mrs Hawkey: “CMM will 

comply with stipulated conditions 

of consent and all relevant 

building procedures, requirements 

and standards.” 

The passionate crowd of 60 

people were not convinced. 

Although they supported housing 

the homeless, their main 

concerns were the dwellings 

would not comply with the city 

council’s regulations on character 

areas, and were outraged at 

the lack of consultation. 

Other concerns included rubbish 

management and the unit’s 

size and proximity of each other. 

Earthworks required to install 

the units do not comply with the 

council’s district plan according 

to neighbouring residents. 

Said a city council spokesperson: 

“The application is going 

through a process to decide 

whether it requires public 

notification and if it should be 

granted. 

“The application will be decided 

by a hearings panel, which will 

carry out deliberations in a public 

meeting.”

writes 

about the 

concerns raised over the 

new Northlink shopping 

complex. 

KMART’S NEW Papanui store 

in Langdons Rd will open next 

month. Development at the site is 

bringing new shops to Papanui, 

but also safety concerns. 

As curator of Think Papanui 

I’ve been taking an interest in 

issues around Langdons Rd for 

a while. I have seen a positive 

reaction to the Northlink development, 

especially the pending 

arrival of Kmart. On the other 

hand I have also heard consistent 

questions and concerns about 

traffic, safety, parking, and access. 

Construction activity has 

generated a lot of heavy vehicle 

movements, and until recently 

many trades vehicles were 

parked on the road outside. 

Heavy construction traffic will 

ease as work is completed, and 

it is good to see construction 

vehicles now using off-street 

parking, but we will see more 

delivery trucks accessing the site 

as well as customers. The road 

BUSY: Langdons Rd residents have raised concerns about safe access to their street. 


is also increasingly used for allday 

parking by people working 

nearby, as well as Papanui High 

School students. 

With visibility restricted by 

so many cars parked along the 

increasingly busy road, residents 

have more difficulty exiting their 

properties, and it’s harder for 

traffic to safely navigate intersections 

with side streets such as 

Sails and Chapel Sts. A bouquet 

to Mitre 10 for their new fence at 

Chapel St, which improves sight 

lines as well as nicely matching 

the old Sanitarium fence on their 

main frontage. 

I have seen a number of people 

wondering what might be done 

to improve the already-busy 

intersection of Langdons and 

Greers Rds where turning right 

in and out can be a challenge. 

Good news – I read in the 

resource consent that the 

Northlink Centre cannot fully 

open “until there is a contract 

let for an intersection upgrade 

to traffic lights” at Langdons/ 

Greers. However, this condition 

restricts a future third stage at 

the rear of the development – the 

intersection will remain as-is 

when Kmart opens. I am also not 

aware of any city council budget 

tagged for the intersection, nor 

any obligation on the developer 

to stump up cash. 

What to do? The Waipapa/ 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has already identified our 

traffic network and community 

road safety amongst priority 

areas to focus on in our draft 

three-year plan. 

Consultation on the plan 

closed yesterday and I look forward 

to working with my board 

colleagues to reviewing public 

input, finalising the plan, and 

then implementing it through 

this term. 

I am grateful to residents who 

have taken the time to contact 

the board with concerns – please 

remember that anyone can raise 

issues with the board in writing, 

and you are also most welcome 

to attend a board meeting and 

speak in the public forum. 

Please let us know your 

thoughts, contact details can be 

found on the city council website 

and at the Papanui Service 

Centre.

Debate rages over 

safety of birds 

• By Matt Slaughter 

THE CHRISTCHURCH 360 

Trail group says birdlife will not 

be harmed if a pathway is built 

along the western edge of the 

Avon-Heathcote Ihutai Estuary. 

This is based on the final draft 

of a Boffa Miskell report commissioned 

by the city council 

that says: “Actual levels of 

disturbance to birds as a result 

of the pathway constitute very 

low, low or moderate ecological 

magnitudes of effect. 

“Opportunities to avoid and 

minimise these effects are available.” 

The Christchurch 360 Trail 

is 135km so far and includes 

walking tracks around the city’s 

radius. The section beside the 

estuary is one of the last needed 

to complete the trail. 

Christchurch 360 Trail chairwoman 

Judith Millar, who lives 

in St Albans, said the pathway 

proposal includes measures 

which will protect birds from 

threats such as pedestrians, 

cyclists and dogs. 

However, Avon Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai Trust chairman 

Kit Doudney said the trust “absolutely 

refute that.” 

The trust and Redcliffs 

Residents Association are 

concerned building the pathway 

in the proposed area beside the 

Bromley Oxidation Ponds will 

put godwits and about 100 other 

bird species which use the estuary 

in jeopardy. 

Mr Doudney believes the 

pathway proposal goes against 

the estuary’s status as part of the 

East Asian-Australasian Flyway, 

which is supposed to protect 

birds that use it. 

He wants the pathway built 

further away from the estuary 

and the city council is investigating 

this option. 

But Mrs Millar said the 

current proposal includes 

PROTECTION: Christchurch 360 Trail chairwoman Judith Millar 

says science shows birdlife will be safe if a pathway is built 

beside the Bromley oxidation ponds. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

measures to stop birds from 

being harmed. 

“The [city] council is 

investigating mitigation 

procedures to deal with the 

issues that the estuary trust 

people raised and we agree that 

there should be measures. We 

think there should be screening, 

we think that a low barbed 

wire between the trail and the 

pond [estuary] levee is all that’s 

necessary.” 

Said city council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge: “The pathway 

would be flanked by a security 

fence several metres to the 

pond side of the path, and 

screen planting along the estuary 

shore. Planting along most 

of the estuary shore already 

exists; the project is to provide 

screening of most of the remaining 

gaps.” 

Mr Rutledge said additional 

protective measures, which 

may also be considered include 

“educational signage promoting 

the site values, dog exclusion 

signage, regular monitoring 

of compliance, track closure 

at certain times” and “vehicle 

barriers at entry points.” 

Mr Doudney said these measures 

won’t work and birds will 

suffer. 

“Since last winter, we’ve got 

new data from a student who 

was working over the summer 

on bird disturbance. There will 

be a massive impact.” 

Mr Doudney believes the 

360 Trail group’s members 

are avoiding meeting with 

the trust so they don’t have 

to acknowledge its concerns. 

He said the trail group most 

recently pulled out of a meeting 

on February 17. 

Said Mrs Millar: “That is not 

accurate. 

“It was decided that a meeting 

with them [the trust] when their 

opinion was so entrenched was 

not necessarily going to be helpful, 

given that there is a process 

under way, which the council 

has outlined.”

SPORT 

Volleyballers 


make their mark 

CANTERBURY age-group 

volleyballers continue to make an 

impression on the national stage. 

Eight volleyballers have made 

national squads 

St Andrew’s College’s Kate Allan, 

St Margaret’s Rosa Davidson, 

Burnside High School duo Taylah 

Holdem and Rosa Vesty and 

Lincoln’s Ellen Watts have made 

the national women’s youth 

Commonwealth Games squad. 

St Margaret’s Ella Ballantyne 

and St Andrew’s Tineke Hinton 

have gained selection in the under-17 

women’s beach squad. 

Riccarton High School’s 

Joseph Baxter has made the New 

Zealand under-17 men’s beach 

squad. 

Burnside and Canterbury 

coach Sam Ryburn says for those 

picked in youth Commonwealth 

Games squads it is a sign they are 

on the radar for higher honours. 

The squad will compete in 

Vanuatu at the end of the year 

to get a taste of international 

competition. 

Taylah and Rosa, who both live 

in Papanui, won both the South 

Island and New Zealand secondary 

school beach titles this past 

season. 

Taylah, 15, says it’s been a heck 

of a season. 

“It didn’t hit me until school 

nationals what I had achieved,” 

she said. 

“We’ve done heaps of training 

as a squad and as a combination 

and I’m fortunate I can play both 

front-court and back-court. 

“Ryburn came up to me at 

athletics day when I was in Year 

9 and said I should be playing 

volleyball. 

Mostly I did the high jump, 

long jump and triple jump before 

then. 

“It has all happened very fast.” 

Rosa, 15, says the Burnside 

environment and culture has 

helped elevate players like her at 

the school. 

Both of Rosa’s parents played 

volleyball with her Mum, Paula 

Vesty, coaching at a national 

level. 

“I’d been playing in the 

backyard for a while but I didn’t 

take it seriously until I got to 

Burnside. 

“I’ve been around it since I was 

little so I always knew I wanted 

to play at some point.” 

TALENT: Rosa Vesty and Taylah Holdem now have national 

selections to go with their stellar beach season.

ADVERTORIAL 

Never for one minute have we regretted it 

Paul and Marlene 

absolutely love living in 

Ngaio Marsh Retirement 

Village where they have a 

spacious townhouse and an 

active lifestyle that reflects 

their earlier busy lives. 

In their younger years 

Paul and Marlene saw a 

great deal of New Zealand 

and some of Australia 

and other countries, 

before they settled down 

and raised a family 

in Christchurch. 

Now, they have no 

regrets about the move 

into the Papanui village. 

The pair met in Waiouru 

where Marlene was a 

teacher. Then Paul was 

posted to Officer Cadet 

School in Portsea on the 

Mornington Peninsula 

about 100km from 

Melbourne’s CBD. Marlene 

also moved over to Victoria 

and soon enough the pair 

were married. They lived 

in Mount Martha, where 

Ryman is now building 

a village. 

Paul’s army service saw 

the pair travel further 

afield to countries like 

Malaya, Singapore, Borneo. 

Paul served for a short 

time in Vietnam. 

Life eventually brought 

them back to Christchurch 

and they settled in Upper 

Riccarton, living in the 

same home for 37 years 

and bringing up two 

children. But nearly three 

years ago they decided it 

no longer had the same 

neighbourhood feel and 

they started looking at 

alternatives. 

Having inspected a 

few retirement villages 

Paul and Marlene love life at Ngaio Marsh Village. 

that did not match up to 

expectations, Marlene 

remembered a previous 

visit to Ngaio Marsh. 

Marlene says as soon as 

they arrived at the village 

Paul was very keen, and 

after a chat to village 

Sales Advisor Marie Kyle- 

Stevenson they were ready. 

It only took a couple of 

weeks to sell the house and 

the decision to move was 

totally the right one. 

“Never for one minute 

have we regretted it,” 

Paul says. 

Since moving in, nearly 

three years ago, both Paul 

and Marlene have become 

quite involved in village 

life. That’s when they can 

tear themselves away from 

their lovely townhouse, 

which is surrounded 

by gardens and a gentle 

stream running at the back 

of the property. 

“We’ve got marvellous 

neighbours and a lovely 

outlook, we’re not 

hemmed in,” Marlene says. 

They often take the car 

to visit their children and 

grandchildren or walk to 

nearby cafés, at Northlands 

or Merivale malls. 

Marie says as a Sales 

Advisor she likes to 

point out the nearby 

amenities for residents. 

The location is close 

to Papanui boutique 

shops, and a library. 

“Coming into a 

retirement village, there 

is a wide community 

and varied activities the 

residents can participate 

in. You can also enjoy your 

current activities as well, 

so it enhances your life,” 

Marie says. 

Other village facilities 

include a putting green, a 

shop, a hair salon, a spa, 

library, gym and bar. 

Paul helps organise 

lawn bowls, Marlene plays 

croquet, and both are 

involved in walking groups 

and village activities like 

the annual market day, 

where Paul can be seen 

selling raffles to visitors 

and residents. 

Marlene says she used 

to swim at Jellie Park 

but now chooses the 

immediacy of the village 

pool and spa, which are 

free to use. She swims six 

times a week and Paul two 

times a week. They like to 

join in Happy Hour and 

Wednesday and Friday 

night social events. 

“The other thing we 

like about the village, is 

the staff are brilliant … 

the gardeners do anything 

for you.” 

Paul says he often gets 

asked by outsiders about 

village life and he tells 

them to make the move 

because it results in no 

financial surprises on the 

home front. There is a 

general air of “stress-free 

living” and no need for 

a lawnmower. 

“That’s his big delight 

– no lawns, no edges, no 

hedges,” Marlene says. 

She adds that when 

people ask if they 

had a good weekend, 

they say every day is a 

weekend day.

Feijoa season signals the end of summer 

• By Ian Knott 

It’s March already, and that 

means the start of feijoa 

season. Has there ever been 

a more polarising fruit than 

feijoas? Love them or hate 

them, these green, oval 

nuggets of floral tartness can 

bring an extra dimension to 

many sweet dishes 

Feijoa and blueberry 

shortcake crumble 

Serves 12 

Ingredients 

2 cups peeled and chopped feijoas 

1 punnet (125g) fresh blueberries 

1 Tbsp sugar 

1 tsp ground ginger 

Crumble topping 

¼ cup ground almonds 

¼ cup flour 

½ cup wholegrain oats 

¼ cup soft brown sugar 

50g butter, melted 

Shortcake 

100g butter, softened 

½ cup sugar 

1 egg 

1 ½ cup flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 170 deg C 

(fan assisted). Line the base and 

IN SEASON: Feijoa and blueberry shortcake crumble (left), and warm spiced feijoa doughnuts. 

sides of a 23cm square cake tin 

with baking paper. Mix together 

chopped feijoas, blueberries, 

sugar and ground ginger and set 

aside. 

Prepare the crumble topping. 

Put ground almonds, flour, 

wholegrain oats and sugar into a 

mixing bowl. Stir through melted 

butter. Set aside. 

Prepare the shortcake. Beat 

together butter and sugar until 

pale. Beat in the egg. Mix in flour 

and baking powder to form a soft 

dough. Press dough evenly into 

the base of the prepared tin. 

Spoon over the prepared fruit 

to cover the base. Scatter over the 

crumble mix. 

Bake for 40-45min until top is 

golden and base cooked. Leave 

in the tin for 20min before 

carefully lifting it out, with the 

baking paper onto a cake rack to 

cool. Serve cut into pieces with 

yoghurt, ice-cream or cream. 

Warm spiced feijoa 

doughnuts 

Makes about 14 

Ingredients 

1¼ cups plain, gluten-free flour 

½ tsp baking powder (gf) 

Pinch of salt 

½ tsp each of ground cinnamon 

and mixed spice 

3 Tbsp caster sugar 

1 egg 

3 Tbsp milk 

1 Tbsp melted butter 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

5 medium feijoas, peeled and 

diced into 1cm pieces 

Vegetable oil 

Cinnamon sugar 

½ cup caster sugar 

¼ tsp ground cinnamon 

Directions 

Put 5cm of vegetable oil in a 

deep, medium-sized saucepan 

and heat to 170 deg C on a sugar 

thermometer or until a piece of 

bread dropped into the oil turns 

golden within 30sec. 

Combine the sugar and 

cinnamon in a shallow dish and set 

aside for rolling cooked doughnuts. 

Combine all the dry ingredients 

in a large bowl. Whisk the egg, 

milk, butter and the vanilla together 

then stir into the flour along with 

the feijoas until well combined. 

Carefully drop tablespoons of 

the batter into the pan and cook

SENIOR LIVING 

Staying well in an 

unhealthy world 

Viruses can make us very unwell and some 

people may even die from them. However if 

we keep ourselves as healthy as possible we can 

greatly reduce the chances of becoming unwell. 

The Wuhan coronavirus has spread fast and 

does appear to be a particularly nasty virus, so 

it makes sense to do what we can to improve 

our health and immunity. I believe it is our 

weakened immune system that is the real threat, 

not a virus and if we restore and optimise our 

immune system we will have a much better 

chance of staying well. 

Liquid Olive Leaf Extract (OLE) is the first 

amazing natural product I would suggest. 

OLE contains powerful compounds including 

oleuropein that can destroy invading organisms 

(viruses) directly while stopping viruses 

replicating and causing disease. OLE can also 

help rid the body of long term infections, 

bacteria and fungi that are compromising our 

immune system. It is also a super antioxidant 

that can support stabilized blood sugar, blood 

pressure and blood flow. 

Researchers have shown Vitamin C to have 

powerful antiviral activity against all types 

of viruses and to support a healthy immune 

system. In one well-controlled, randomized 

study, just 200mg/day of vitamin C given to 

the elderly resulted in 80% fewer deaths in the 

vitamin C group. Dr. Robert F. Cathcart, who 

has had extensive experience treating viral 

diseases remarked, “I have not seen any flu yet 

that was not cured or markedly ameliorated 

by massive doses of vitamin C.” Frederick R. 

Klenner, MD, chest specialist has said “Some 

physicians would stand by and see their patients 

die rather than use vitamin C”. 

According to Dr. Thomas Levy’s clinical 

opinion one gram of properly-produced 

and orally-ingested liposomal vitamin C is 

as or more effective than 5 to 10 grams of 

intravenously given vitamin C. If you want 

the best benefits and absorption this is the 

way to go. However he also warns many of the 

liposomal vitamin C’s he has tested are not true 

liposomal products. He guarantees the LivOn 

brand is a true liposomal product. 

Vitamin D3, zinc and selenium are also vital in 

sufficient amounts for a healthy immune system. 

These are some of the most important 

supplements but our natural health advisers 

are always happy to discuss with you a suitable 

protocol and other factors that affect the 

immune system. 

Further information on products, protocols 

and correct dosage is available from the 

natural health advisers at Marshall’s Health 

& Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, PH: (03) 388-5757 – We are always 

happy to help!

Lypo-Spheric vitamin C is quickly absorbed

Thomas Levy’s clinical opinion is one 

gram of Lypo-C is equivalent to 5 to 10g 

intravenously given vitamin C, making it 

the most absorbable vitamin C available. However 

he also warns many of the liposomal vitamin C’s he has tested are not 

true liposomal products. He guarantees the LivOn brand is a true liposomal product.

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 toilets, 2 living rooms, swimming pool 

Listing no. OPA24706 

Rich in traditional detailing and commanding 

instant admiration, this homestead-style 

abode delivers a luxurious hillside lifestyle 

and combines the comfort of contemporary 

living with timeless design. 

Offering a majestic presence, this property 

visually epitomises character yet enjoys 

the perks of more modern construction. 

Originally built 1994 and with the exterior 

reclad in 2014 offering you plenty of peace 

of mind. Occupying a substantial 1775sqm 

section that overlooks Castle Rock, it also 

boasts unimpeded views over the city and the 

Alps. The superbly presented property makes 

further use of its outstanding position with an 

alluring swimming pool, a level lawn, decking 

and mature gardens architecturally designed 

by Goom Landscapes, promising endless 

hours of family fun and alfresco entertaining. 

The home’s aesthetic appeal is further 

reinforced indoors where tasteful styling, 

timber accents, contrasting hues and ceiling 

beams create an attractive setting for everyday 

living. 

Beautifully arranged over two levels, the 

ground floor responds superbly to modern 

family living. The generous open plan kitchen, 

dining and lounge area conveniently adjoin 

a formal living zone to promote elegant 

entertaining or effortless relaxation. 

All accommodation is situated upstairs 

and includes two master bedroom options, 

with each enjoying a walk-in wardrobe and 

ensuite. The remaining two bedrooms share a 

family bathroom while a total of four toilets 

are found within the 210sqm floor plan. 

Optimally placed to capture sunshine, 

this home also benefits from the additional 

warmth provided by heat pump, a gas fire and 

excellent insulation. An established driveway, 

easy drive-on access and off-street parking are 

further highlights of this hillside home. 

The various offerings of Mt Pleasant are all 

located within easy reach including schooling, 

numerous walks and parks, and the myriad 

of stores and eateries that lie beyond in 

Ferrymead.

ordinary.

Love the life 

you choose 

When you move into a Summerset retirement village, you’re not just 

moving house – you’re joining a vibrant and welcoming community 

where you’ll feel completely at home. 

At Summerset we put you at the heart of everything 

we do, so you can enjoy the freedom of living the life 

you choose. 

The perfect home is waiting for you. From villas and townhouses, to 

apartments – you’ll find a place to make your own. Our homes are 

accessible, beautifully-appointed, and there are no worries about 

maintenance or upkeep as we do it all for you. Pets are also welcome, 

and you can even go away on holiday knowing your home will be safe 

and secure. We’ll also make sure you’re aware of all costs, giving you 

the certainty that there won’t be any unexpected surprises. 

When it comes to activities and events, there’s always something 

happening to keep our Summerset community involved and 

entertained, and you can choose to do as much or as little as you like. 

If you need some extra care or support, our continuum of care means 

we’ll be there for you as your needs change, giving you the peace of 

mind to continue living life to its fullest. 

Over 5,500 residents are already enjoying the Summerset life across 

27 villages around New Zealand. If you’re interested in Summerset
