Weigh to go, David!

Logan Campbell Retirement Village

A weightlifting demo from newly-announced Kiwi Olympic hopeful David Liti was the main attraction for residents at Logan Campbell Village on Tuesday.

The popular athlete, who will compete in the men’s 102+kg division, was revealed as the latest member of the NZ team who will be attending the Paris Olympics to gathered media and a packed village centre, where he thrilled the crowd with his impressive lifting skills.

David demonstrated three ‘clean and jerk’ lifts, going up to 140kg on the third. While it prompted gasps from the residents, his lift at Tokyo in comparison was 236kg and then 178kg in the ‘snatch’, which is the lift from floor to over the head.

Stray male cat

John from Sandringham

Over the last two weeks a rangy male tabby cat has been pleading for food at our place in Royal Terrace, Sandringham.
Or is there a colony of cats being fed around here.
If you have lost him please call 021996559

Note that we took him to the vet today the 6th of January and he belongs to someone in our area.

We will now just enjoy a pat on his daily visits but not feed him.
