Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.
The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!
What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

Boston Projects and Foxtail Events are hosting a Community Planting Day on Saturday, 27 January from 10am – 2pm, and the whole of Karori is invited to attend and participate in this fun day out.
Bring your gumboots, trowels, spades, forks and a bunch of energy and enthusiasm to help make our town centre fantastic! A bottle or water, sunhat and sunscreen is super important too!
This grass roots initiative is fully reliant on the support of the Karori community and there are a number of ways that you can contribute to this project. For example, we need more plants (i.e native grasses and bushes, succulents flowering plants, wildflowers, bulbs, herbs, or edible plants). Anything will be considered.
We are also looking for a local talented artist to create a mural and someone to regularly help keep the section tidy with some strimming of the grass.
If you are able to volunteer your time with either of these, then please get in touch with Boston Projects at hello@bostonprojects.co.nz
We look forward to seeing you there!

There are four levels of water restrictions. The strongest restriction bans all outdoor water use and encourages the reduction of indoor water use. This does not affect the Kāpiti coast area.
What you need to know:
- A level two water restriction means a ban will now be placed on irrigation and sprinklers, and gardens only being hand-watered, according to Wellington Water.
- Wellington, Porirua, Hutt City, Upper Hutt City and South Wairarapa have all since moved to a level two restriction.
- The decision was made due to “a very high demand” for water, peaking at 95 million litres on Tuesday, Wellington Water said.
- The region’s water treatment plants can only treat and supply a certain amount of safe drinking water on any given day. The increase in demand and the ongoing high number of leaks is putting pressure on the network and the ability to supply enough safe drinking water. Increasing heat may put further pressure on the water system.
- The restrictions only applied to residential properties but Wellington Water asked businesses across the region to take steps to reduce water usage where possible.
- Level four restrictions currently had a 33% chance of being imposed.
Please note, these restrictions do not apply to Kāpiti residents as water meters were introduced there in 2014, and the Waikanae River recharge scheme has aided this region.
