SOCIAL MEDIA trends, tissue<br />
sales and sick leave could be<br />
used to help predict outbreaks of<br />
infectious diseases and muster<br />
the resources to deal with them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ministry of Health is<br />
looking at whether utilising<br />
trends and other unconventional<br />
data would help with detection,<br />
and improving responses to<br />
epidemics.<br />
Christchurch health officials<br />
are welcoming the research.<br />
As part of the project, the<br />
Ministry is looking at whether<br />
Facebook or Twitter posts about<br />
illnesses or symptoms could be<br />
tracked to see if there is a trend<br />
in a particular area.<br />
It would also look at whether<br />
school absentees, employee sick<br />
leave, over-the-counter pharmacy<br />
sales, tissue sales or Healthline<br />
calls could be utilised.<br />
Canterbury Medical Officer of<br />
Health Alistair Humphrey said<br />
the Canterbury District Health<br />
Board already tracked trends using<br />
Googleflu, which could be a<br />
good predictor of flu needs.<br />
It tracked whether people were<br />
making flu-related searches on<br />
Google, and where from.<br />
“Research into more sophisticated<br />
social media analysis is<br />
welcome,” Dr Humphrey said.<br />
David Jones, a director of Better<br />
Health practices, which includes<br />
the Linwood, Moorhouse<br />
and Barrington medical centres,<br />
said the idea had potential.<br />

I HOPE for Maddie Collins and<br />
her family’s sake Jane Laurie<br />
does have $42 million in the<br />
bank.<br />
But I suspect not.<br />
This week, reporter Gabrielle<br />
Stuart paid Ms Laurie a visit.<br />
She said she had dough and the<br />
$1.5 million would be paid for<br />
Maddie’s much-needed life saving<br />
treatment in a United States<br />
hospital.<br />
Ms Laurie didn’t slam the<br />
door or give the usual heave-ho<br />
journos get when they sometimes<br />
want to discuss a potentially<br />
tricky subject.<br />
Hopefully, if Ms Laurie has<br />
the money she will front up with<br />
her pledge. If she doesn’t have,<br />
hopefully, she’ll have the heart to<br />
front up on that one too, and let<br />
Maddie’s family know her bank<br />
account doesn’t hold that kind<br />
of gold.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y probably know that<br />
already but when your daughter<br />
needs lifesaving treatment anything<br />
is worth clinging onto.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s still lots to raise for<br />
Maddie – a very worthy cause if<br />
you’ve got a few dollars to spare.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw pioneer William Deans among<br />
28 lost in the wreck of the Maria in Cook Strait on <strong>July</strong> 23,<br />
1851. On <strong>July</strong> 24, 1983, New Zealand’s first “test-tube” twins<br />
were born at Christchurch Hospital. On <strong>July</strong> 25, 1903, the<br />
city council generated Christchurch’s first public electricity<br />
from a generator driven by the municipal refuse destructor.<br />
This eventually led to the formation of the Municipal<br />
Electricity Department. On <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong>, 1851, a storm wrecked<br />
six ships in Lyttelton Harbour. On <strong>July</strong> 28, 1964, trees were<br />
cut down in Rolleston Ave by the city council. Intense<br />
public protest followed. On <strong>July</strong> 29, 1953, aviation pioneer<br />
Richard W Pearse died in Christchurch. Pearse made one of<br />
the world’s first powered flights on or about March 31, 1902,<br />
in South Canterbury. He moved to Christchurch in 1921.<br />

ICE CREAM POPULAR<br />
Stocks of Lewis Road Creamery<br />
and Pic’s Peanut Butter’s new<br />
ice cream needed to be<br />
replenished in Christchurch<br />
supermarkets this week, after<br />
many sold out. Nearly 4000 tubs<br />
of the Lewis Road Creamery<br />
peanut butter ice cream had<br />
been sold in the city last week<br />
prompting the shortage. <strong>The</strong><br />
ice cream is blended with<br />
peanut butter, and finished<br />
with a sprinkle of Belgian milk<br />

West End actor returns to city<br />
One-man show<br />
makes light of<br />
deportation<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
BUILDING AN arts career on<br />
London’s West End is a far cry<br />
from reality for most – but not<br />
for Christchurch performer Nic<br />
Kyle.<br />
Taken under Broadway star<br />
Elaine Paige’s wing, Kyle, 30,<br />
led a soaring four-year stint,<br />
performing in<br />
sell-out shows in<br />
one of the biggest<br />
commercial<br />
theatre scenes in<br />
the world.<br />
Nic Kyle<br />
But all came to<br />
abrupt halt, when<br />
the actor, who<br />
grew up in Ilam, found himself<br />
being deported.<br />
Kyle was in the United<br />
Kingdom for two years before<br />
deciding to get a defacto visa.<br />
“I was seeing an English girl<br />
and we decided to go into a<br />
partner defacto visa which in<br />
hindsight was probably not a<br />
good idea,” he said.<br />
THe relationship broke up but<br />
Kyle decided to keep the visa.<br />
THe visa issue was flagged<br />
when Kyle was being checked<br />
through Gatwick Airport after a<br />
short trip to Portugal.<br />
“Getting deported was<br />
probably the worse thing that<br />
ever happened in my life . . .<br />
they took my passport off me,<br />
took my phone off me, locked<br />
me in a holding cell,” he said.<br />
Kyle was locked away<br />
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: Nic Kyle as King Arthur in <strong>The</strong> English <strong>The</strong>atre Frankfurt’s production<br />
of Spamalot. Right – Kyle with his girlfriend Sophie Schmidt. <br />
from midnight to 9am in the<br />
morning and given five days to<br />
get out of London.<br />
He took off to Germany,<br />
landing the lead role in <strong>The</strong><br />
English <strong>The</strong>atre Frankfurt’s<br />
production of Spamalot before<br />
heading home to Christchurch<br />
where he has been for the past<br />
month.<br />
It was in Germany where he<br />
met his girlfriend Canadian<br />
Sophie Schmidt, a professional<br />
football player who is a<br />
midfielder for FFC Frankfurt in<br />
the German national league.<br />
Kyle said meeting Schmidt<br />
was a complete coincidence<br />
as both her club and <strong>The</strong><br />
English <strong>The</strong>atre Frankfurt was<br />
sponsored by the same bank.<br />
“THe team always come to<br />
the show every year and have a<br />
mix and mingle with the cast<br />
afterwards and we always<br />
go to their game the week<br />
afterwards,” he said.<br />
Now he is back in<br />
Christchurch, Kyle will make<br />
light of getting kicked out of the<br />
UK his original one-man show<br />
Deported.<br />
For the second element of<br />
the show, he has reigned in city<br />
performers Matt Hudson and<br />
Jack Marshall to take part in<br />
dark comedy Coffin.<br />
Back in London Kyle<br />
performed in the sell-out<br />
premier on West End for the<br />
show.<br />
He was given the rights to<br />
perform the show after writer<br />
Elliott Langsdon found out he<br />
was deported.<br />
Kyle will be heading back<br />
to Europe to travel with his<br />
girlfriend before he decides<br />
what to do next. “I am not<br />
happy I got deported but it has<br />
worked out really well . . . if I<br />
hadn’t, would I had ever met<br />
Sophie? Who knows?” he said.<br />
Kyle’s career on West End<br />
began after he sung for Paige<br />
during her New Zealand<br />
tour.<br />
“I was going to move to<br />
Melbourne and she was like<br />
no you are talking s***. I am<br />
going to help get you to London<br />
. . . and she helped get me an<br />
agent,” he said.<br />
•Coffin and Deported will<br />
be performed at Christ’s<br />
College Old Boys’ <strong>The</strong>atre<br />
on Saturday and Sunday.<br />

“Sourcing information that<br />
helps is going to be potentially<br />
useful.”<br />
But he said the main issue<br />
would be whether the information<br />
had any validity.<br />
CDHB board member<br />
Andrew Dickerson said it was<br />
worth further research.<br />
But he said there could be a<br />
risk of self diagnosis if taking<br />
data from social media.<br />
He said school absentee<br />
numbers would be a really good<br />
indicator.<br />
Age Concern Canterbury chief<br />
executive Simon Templeton said<br />
the main benefit for the elderly<br />
population would be to detect<br />
influenza.<br />
“We know it’s a killer.”<br />
He said looking into<br />
being able to use trends and<br />
unconventional data was<br />
wise.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ministry is currently<br />
running a survey on its website<br />
asking people if they have<br />
posted on social media about<br />
themselves or family members’<br />
illnesses.<br />
In Brief<br />
RUGBY INVESTIGATION<br />
A Canterbury Rugby Football<br />
Union investigation into the<br />
actions of West Melton under-14.5s<br />
rugby coach Amanda Tomlinson<br />
at a match this month has been put<br />
on hold while police investigate. A<br />
complaint was made alleging she<br />
verbally and physically abused a<br />
young Lincoln Rugby Club player<br />
after the match on <strong>July</strong> 8. Senior<br />
Sergeant Peter Stills said yesterday<br />
police were still investigating the<br />
incident. <strong>The</strong> CRFU investigation<br />
into the complaint has been put on<br />
hold, but a separate investigation<br />
into an altercation between players<br />
during the game that day may still<br />
go ahead.<br />
NEW PARKING RULES<br />
A new bylaw under development<br />
may ban parking on grass berms,<br />
cultivated areas and gardens. City<br />
council head of strategic policy<br />
Helen Beaumont said, under the<br />
current rules, enforcement officers<br />
can fine people for parking on<br />
berms, but only where there were<br />
‘no parking’ signs, or if the berm<br />
was damaged. However, under the<br />
proposed new Traffic and Parking<br />
Bylaw, parking on all berms would<br />
be prohibited. <strong>The</strong> changes would<br />
go out for public consultation.<br />

HAREWOOD BOTTLE STORE<br />
Residents have been successful in<br />
their fight to stop a liquor store<br />
opening in Harewood. <strong>The</strong> controversial<br />
application by Samarth<br />
Rajeshkumar Limbachiya to open<br />
a liquor store at 2a and 2b Trafford<br />
St has been declined by the city<br />
council’s district licensing committee.<br />
In its report, the committee<br />
said granting the licence would be<br />
detrimental to the neighbourhood<br />
so the application was declined.<br />
WOOLSTON CUT DREDGING<br />
A $2.3 million project to dredge<br />
the Woolston Cut will begin<br />
in October. City council land<br />
drainage manager Keith Davison<br />
said the cut was full of silt and<br />
liquefaction. It had not been<br />
dredged since it was built in the<br />
1980s to prevent flooding in the<br />

Steeple climbs higher<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
AN 8.4m replica of Christ<br />
Church Cathedral’s steeple will<br />
be rolled around the city to<br />
show people how the real thing<br />
could be rebuilt like an Amish<br />
‘barn raising’.<br />
Marcus Brandt, a master carpenter<br />
from the United States,<br />
has been building the replica<br />
out of timber at Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury’s trade campus.<br />
Students and Restore Christ<br />
Church Cathedral Group members<br />
are helping.<br />
It is similar to a small scale<br />
version Mr Brandt built after<br />
hatching a plan to rebuild the<br />
steeple in pieces out of timber,<br />
before placing stone on the outside<br />
so it looks the same.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pre-fabricated timber<br />
pieces would be built then<br />
nestled inside one another like<br />
a telescope, before being raised<br />
up using winding devices, ropes<br />
and people power.<br />
Mr Brandt said the steeple<br />
could be restored separately to<br />
the rest of the building.<br />
He restores historic stone and<br />
timber buildings in the US, said<br />
the method was used by Amish<br />
communities to raise barns and<br />
churches.<br />
By the end of the week, the<br />
SPORTS<br />
BRAS<br />
finished replica will be taken by<br />
trailer to places such as Margaret<br />
Mahy Family Playground<br />
and the Transitional Cathedral.<br />
People would be able to help<br />
raise the replica using rope and<br />
winding devices to pull the<br />
steeple up and into place.<br />
Mr Brandt said it was important<br />
everyone knew about the<br />
method, before the Anglican<br />
Diocese’s synod voted on the<br />
Cathedral’s future in September.<br />
“I want to encourage the<br />
synod it’s not just a building<br />

outreach programme<br />
that really wouldn’t take much,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We can repair this. If New<br />
Zealand loses its cultural heritage,<br />
we’re all the poorer.”<br />
Mr Brandt said he wanted to<br />
help because it matched his skill<br />
set and experience. He is part of<br />
the Timber Framers Guild, an<br />
educational organisation based<br />
in the US.<br />
He said members were keen to<br />
assist with the project.<br />

major $10,000 double glazing<br />
prize at the <strong>Star</strong> Home & Leisure<br />
Show was the stuff of dreams –<br />
literally.<br />
It meant she might finally get a<br />
good sleep, she said.<br />
She said her Shirley home was<br />
near an industrial site, and crashing<br />
from their rubbish skips often<br />
woke her up when she was trying<br />
to sleep after a shift.<br />
She hoped the double-glazing<br />
prize would change that.<br />
“I’m just so excited about being<br />
able to sleep properly,” she said.<br />
Visitors at the <strong>Star</strong> Home &<br />

“I didn’t believe it at first, I<br />
thought it might be a hoax. I<br />
thought are you having me on,<br />
what’s the catch,” she said.<br />
She had looked at doubleglazing<br />
several years ago, but said<br />
she couldn’t afford the $12,000-<br />
$15,000 price she was quoted.<br />
She said she had gone to the<br />
show looking for ways to heat her<br />
home and reduce her power bill,<br />
so the prize was perfectly-timed.<br />
“When I have the grandkids<br />
staying I won’t have to worry<br />
about leaving heaters on all the<br />

it really will,” she said.<br />

Woman still pledges to donate $1.5m<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
A WOMAN who said she would<br />
give $1.5 million for potential<br />
life saving treatment to teenager<br />
Maddie Collins is adamant she<br />
will honour her pledge.<br />
Jane Laurie spoke to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
at her modest rural Canterbury<br />
home this week, and said: “It’ll<br />
get through to them.”<br />
But Maddie’s mother, Sarah<br />
Manson Collins, is resigned to<br />
the fact the money will never<br />
arrive after several weeks of<br />
“empty promises”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> saga with Ms Laurie<br />
began in early June when she<br />
contacted Mrs Manson Collins<br />
saying she had come into a $42<br />
million inheritance and wanted<br />
to donate $1.5 million to help<br />
Maddie.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 13-year-old St Margaret’s<br />
College student has kidney<br />
failure with potentially lifethreatening<br />
complications, and<br />
her family have been trying to<br />
raise more than $700,000 to get<br />
her a transplant in the United<br />
States.<br />
Her condition and fundraising<br />
efforts have received much<br />
publicity.<br />
Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> revealed the<br />
$1.5 million pledge was probably<br />
bogus, devastating the family<br />
PLEDGE: Jane Laurie, who claims to have a $42 million<br />
inheritance, says she will still give $1,5 million to help sick<br />
teenager Maddie Collins (right). PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
when they are struggling to raise<br />
the money needed to help their<br />
daughter.<br />
Mrs Manson Collins said Ms<br />
Laurie had been convincing,<br />
visiting the family home and<br />
then regularly messaging to say<br />
the money was on its way.<br />
But, as time went by, they<br />
realised the money would never<br />
arrive.<br />
However, on Tuesday Ms<br />
Laurie told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> the Manson<br />
Collins family had nothing to be<br />
concerned about. Her bank was<br />
causing the delay, she said.<br />
“I’ll get some paperwork back<br />
and the first lot should go right<br />
through to them. <strong>The</strong> bank just<br />
can’t pay that much at one time,”<br />
she said.<br />
Ms Laurie said she was<br />
meeting with the bank and her<br />
lawyer this week. However,<br />
when <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> phoned Ms Laurie<br />
yesterday the number she gave<br />
the newspaper did not work.<br />
When asked if she could show<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> any paperwork from the<br />
bank or the lawyer, she replied<br />
she didn’t have any.<br />
Ms Laurie could not remember<br />
the lawyer’s name or what firm<br />
he worked for.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inheritance had been left<br />
to her nine months ago by a<br />
childhood friend called Marcus.<br />
He had lived in the United<br />
Kingdom where he established<br />
several successful businesses, but<br />
had moved back to Christchurch<br />
six or seven years ago.<br />
“I wanted to give it (money)<br />
away because it’s far too much,”<br />
she said.<br />
She said she saw Maddie’s<br />
plight and fundraising articles in<br />
the news media and approached<br />
the family. She also planned<br />
to donate money to other sick<br />
children.<br />
Mrs Manson Collins said<br />
yesterday she was worried other<br />
families would be put through<br />
the same thing her family had.<br />
“I don’t think she’s realised the<br />
devastation she has caused this<br />
family. It’s like having the rug<br />
pulled out from under our feet,<br />
because we were really hoping<br />
this would mean Maddie could<br />
get the transplant and go back to<br />
school and be able to be a normal<br />
teenager,” she said.<br />
If Ms Laurie kept messaging<br />
her, she planned to put an official<br />
complaint in to police.<br />
About $170,00 has already<br />
been raised through fundraisers<br />
and donations to help Maddie<br />
get a kidney replacement at<br />
the John Hopkins Hospital in<br />
Baltimore, United States.<br />
<strong>The</strong> treatment offered there<br />
would make it more likely<br />
Maddie’s body would accept a<br />
donated kidney, even if it was not<br />
a perfect match.<br />

Manji’s MP<br />
campaign<br />
set to launch<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
CITY COUNCILLOR Raf Manji<br />
will launch his bid to become an<br />
MP tomorrow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former investment banker<br />
is standing as a independent in<br />
the Ilam electorate.<br />
He will come up against National’s<br />
Gerry Brownlee, who has<br />
held the seat since<br />
1996, Labour’s<br />
Anthony Rimell<br />
and David Lee, of<br />
the Green Party.<br />
Student Volunteer<br />
Army founder<br />
Raf Manji<br />
Sam Johnson<br />
will introduce Cr<br />
Manji, as he did for his first city<br />
council campaign in 2013.<br />
Cr Manji said the themes of his<br />
political campaign launch would<br />
be similar to that of his council<br />
campaign – finance, strategy and<br />
community.<br />
“I’m going to be talking about<br />
my vision for the city and the key<br />
issues we have in Ilam.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> launch will be held at Mona<br />
Vale at 10am.<br />
If elected, he would step down<br />
as councillor. A by-election would<br />
cost $65,000 to replace him.<br />
Move to ban roadside vehicle sales<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
SELLING YOUR vehicle on the<br />
side of the road could soon be<br />
illegal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is developing<br />
a new Traffic and Parking Bylaw<br />
to replace the current rules,<br />
and wants to add a new clause<br />
prohibiting the practice.<br />
Under the new clause, a<br />
person must not stop, stand or<br />
park a vehicle on any road or<br />
parking place to<br />
offer it for sale,<br />
unless it was being<br />
used for day-today<br />
travel.<br />
City council<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
head of strategic<br />
policy Helen<br />
Beaumont said on<br />
some streets, such as Cranford<br />
St, it created hazards and<br />
distractions.<br />
“Drivers have been seen<br />
making risky manoeuvres, such<br />
as U-turns, in order to get a<br />
better view or to park alongside<br />
the cars for sale.”<br />
She said some car sales<br />
businesses had been using<br />
adjoining on-street parks as part<br />
of their forecourts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council would<br />
consider the draft bylaw early<br />
next month, with consultation<br />

Car dealer escapes conviction<br />
• By Kurt Bayer<br />
A CHRISTCHURCH car dealer<br />
who punched a panel beater in<br />
the aftermath of a crash that<br />
wrote off a car he had just sold,<br />
has avoided a conviction today<br />
because of the work he does in<br />
the community.<br />
Nigel Terrance William<br />
Thompson (right) of city car<br />
dealership Nigel Thompson<br />
Motor Company was driving a<br />
car to its final compliance test<br />
when a vehicle pulled out of a<br />
St Asaph St panel shop at about<br />
9.30am on January 13, this year,<br />
and hit him.<br />
Insurers would later deem<br />
Thompson’s vehicle so badly<br />
damaged it was a write-off.<br />
A furious Thompson, a<br />
43-year-old who has previous<br />
convictions for fraud, dating<br />
back 15 years, got out of the car.<br />
A heated verbal argument<br />
ensued and several panel shop<br />
workers came out of the workshop<br />
to see what was going on.<br />
One of the men told Thompson<br />
to “calm down, c***”.<br />
Thompson, who pleaded<br />
guilty to assault at the district<br />
court, admitted punching the<br />
man twice in the head.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pair fell into a car, causing<br />
$900 in damage to its door.<br />
At court yesterday, through<br />
his defence counsel Jonathan<br />
Eaton QC, he was granted<br />
a discharge without conviction.<br />
Thompson, the court heard,<br />
felt surrounded and intimidated<br />
by the crowd.<br />
When the complainant<br />
phoned the police to report the<br />
assault, Mr Eaton said the man<br />
admitted he shouldn’t have used<br />
such offensive language towards<br />
Thompson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> complainant suffered a<br />
cut to his nose and two large<br />
lumps on his forehead. Thompson<br />
received a black eye.<br />
Mr Eaton said in spite of<br />
Thompson’s substantial fraud<br />
offending, for which he served<br />
jail time, the offending was out<br />
of character.<br />
Thompson later admitted it<br />
was a “stupid and inappropriate”<br />
response to a situation where<br />
independent witnesses identified<br />
him as the aggressor.<br />
After his release from prison<br />
in 2004, he vowed to never to<br />
return to a courtroom again as a<br />
defendant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Salisbury Street Foundation,<br />
a privately-run residential<br />
facility that helps prison parolees<br />
reintegrate into the community,<br />
helped Thompson turn his<br />
life around.<br />
Thompson has gone on to<br />
establish a successful car dealership<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
He has also been an SSF board<br />
member since 2013 and does<br />
youth mentoring with other<br />
organisations.<br />
Mr Eaton argued a conviction<br />
would mean Thompson would<br />
have to give up his valuable<br />
mentoring roles and work he<br />
does in the community. It could<br />
also affect his biannual trips to<br />
Japan to buy cars.<br />
Judge Brian Callaghan said<br />
the incident was clearly a “fall<br />
from grace” for Thompson.<br />
But he was satisfied the direct,<br />
and indirect, consequences of a<br />
conviction would outweigh the<br />
seriousness of the incident and<br />
that a discharge without conviction<br />
could be entered.<br />
<strong>The</strong> judge ordered Thompson<br />
pay $948 in reparation for the<br />
damage to the car door, and<br />
a further $1000 as emotional<br />
harm compensation to the complainant.<br />
DNA could<br />
identify<br />
potential<br />
child abductor<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
DNA EVIDENCE could be<br />
the key to finding a man who<br />
attempted to abduct a young girl<br />
from a Governors Bay car park.<br />
Police have taken fingernail<br />
clippings from the victim in an<br />
effort to find evidence of her attacker,<br />
the victim’s mother told<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> samples will then be<br />
checked against the National<br />
DNA Profile Databank to see if<br />
there is a match.<br />
<strong>The</strong> girl fought off her attacker,<br />
which means she could have evidence<br />
underneath her fingernails<br />
that could identify her attacker.<br />
On June 15 she was with friends<br />
playing hide and seek in the<br />
Governors Bay Hotel gardens<br />
when she slipped down a hill and<br />
landed in the hotel car park.<br />
A man, described as a European<br />
in a red vehicle possibly a sedan,<br />
sped into the car park at about<br />
4.20pm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> offender got out of his vehicle<br />
and grabbed her before trying<br />
to drag her into the car before she<br />
fought him off.<br />

Banks Peninsula’s volcanic soil<br />
<strong>The</strong>y may be small,<br />
but Banks Peninsula<br />
vineyards are starting<br />
to show they can<br />
match it with the<br />
big players. Bridget<br />
Rutherford reports<br />
TUCKED INTO the hillside in<br />
Charteris Bay is a little vineyard<br />
– a vineyard that’s making a<br />
name for itself.<br />
But it’s not the only one.<br />
What started as a hobby has<br />
turned into success for Neil<br />
and Jill Pattinson, with their<br />
vineyard Whistling Buoy taking<br />
out the top award at this year’s<br />
Wines of Canterbury awards.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir Whistling Buoy Kokolo<br />
Pinot Noir 2015 won the game<br />
trophy and a gold medal.<br />
It was later named champion<br />
wine.<br />
Its Kokolo Chardonnay 2015<br />
and Kokolo Pinot Noir 2016 also<br />
earned bronze medals.<br />
Dr Pattinson, who is president<br />
of Wines of Canterbury, said<br />
there are four main vineyards<br />
that sit within the craters of<br />
Lyttelton and Akaroa harbours –<br />
and all were proving their worth.<br />
He said Banks Peninsula was<br />
an emerging sub-wine region.<br />
But he said it was a given the<br />
area should produce nice wines<br />
– the very earliest plantings in<br />
New Zealand were in Akaroa in<br />
1840 when the French settlers<br />
arrived.<br />
“What’s unique about Banks<br />
Peninsula is the soils, the aspect,<br />
particularly north-facing<br />
slopes and basically being close<br />
to large bodies of water being<br />
Akaroa and Lyttelton harbours,<br />
which help mitigate the ultraextremes.”<br />
He said the sea air didn’t seem<br />
to have any impact on the wine<br />
and they rarely suffered frosts.<br />
Akaroa’s Meniscus Wines had<br />
success at the same awards.<br />

For the second year in a row,<br />
its 2015 pinot noir won the best<br />
pairing wine with lamb and got a<br />
silver medal. Its 2016 riesling and<br />
2016 pinot noir also got bronze<br />
medals.<br />
Owner David Epstein said they<br />
were thrilled, especially with the<br />
lamb trophy.<br />
He said Banks Peninsula wines<br />
had certain characteristics that<br />
were starting to be recognised.<br />
“It just shows there must be<br />
something special in the terroir<br />
here in the ground that is very<br />
good for the grapes and the<br />
growth,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> volcanic soil that exists<br />
here from years back is giving a<br />
special character.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>y produce pinot noir,<br />
riesling and pinot gris from the<br />
vines on the 2.4ha block which<br />
sits on the south edge of Akaroa.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y make between 4000-6000<br />
bottles each year.<br />
Mr Epstein said all the grapes<br />
are picked by hand before being<br />
sent to Waipara to be produced.<br />

Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 9<br />
makes for great winemaking<br />
He and his wife Gay bought<br />
the vineyard, formerly known<br />
as Vanstone Estate, and Crater<br />
Rim, at the end of 2008 and<br />
moved over from Australia.<br />
Previously, it was owned by<br />
Akaroa businessman Graham<br />
Vanstone, who disappeared<br />
without a trace in September<br />
1999, before his first vintage was<br />
picked.<br />
After his disappearance, Mr<br />
Vanstone’s family rallied to<br />
produce Vanstone Estate’s wine<br />
before leasing the vineyard. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
then sold to the Epsteins.<br />
Mr Vanstone was never found.<br />
Police say his missing person file<br />
has been referred to the coroner,<br />
who will make a ruling on his<br />
death.<br />
“It’s just one of the mysteries of<br />
SPECTACULAR:<br />
At Whistling<br />
Buoy, sheep<br />
are used to<br />
help maintain<br />
the grass and<br />
leaves, while<br />
Meniscus Wines<br />
looks out over<br />
Akaroa Harbour.<br />
Akaroa,” Mr Epstein said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Epsteins also run a tasting<br />
lounge for their wines on Rue<br />
Lavaud, but come October, they<br />
will open it on site at Meniscus.<br />
He hoped Banks Peninsula<br />
would become recognised as a<br />
fine wine growing area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pattinsons planted grapes<br />
into their 2023 sq m Charteris<br />
Bay property in the early 2000s.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y went for the pinot noir<br />
vines to match the clay-based<br />
soil.<br />
<strong>The</strong> name, Whistling Buoy,<br />
was derived from the marker<br />
buoy that used to direct vessels<br />
into Lyttelton Harbour.<br />
Dr Pattinson said originally it<br />
was a hobby, but when they produced<br />
their first vintage in 2005<br />
and 2006, they knew they were<br />
onto something.<br />
So when a neighbouring property,<br />
Kokolo, came up for sale at<br />
Teddington about four and a half<br />
years ago, they decided to buy it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 4ha site was already planted<br />
with pinot noir, chardonnay,<br />
and pinot meunier grapes, which<br />
produced wine that was exported<br />
to Japanese restaurant chains.<br />
Dr Pattinson said they ripped<br />
out the pinot meunier vines to<br />
focus on the other two.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pinot noir grapes at<br />
Kokolo are also used to produce<br />
Whistling Buoy’s rose.<br />
All the grapes are sent to Greystone<br />
Wines in Waipara to be<br />
produced, but Dr Pattinson said<br />
they had a lot of input into the<br />
winemaking process.<br />
Because of the sloping hills<br />
the vines are planted on, and the<br />
small distance between each,<br />
everything is done by hand –<br />
with a little aid.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir next door neighbour,<br />
Speaker of the House David<br />
Carter, often brought his sheep<br />
into the vineyard during leaf<br />
plucking to maintain the grass<br />
and leaves.<br />
Whistling Buoy viticulturist<br />
Cliff Wood is into his fourth<br />
season at Whistling Buoy. Last<br />
week, he was out pruning and<br />
tying down the vines before they<br />
begin to grow again.<br />
“It’s pretty labour intensive.”<br />
Dr Pattinson said they knew<br />
the 2015 pinot noir had all the<br />
right elements – warm weather,<br />
low disease pressure, good<br />
vineyard management and good<br />
fruit.<br />
“This particular wine’s had 10<br />
months on oak and there’s new<br />
oak in that not just old oak.”<br />
But this year they weren’t so<br />
lucky.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y didn’t harvest because<br />
it was too wet for the grapes to<br />
ripen.<br />
“So in the end, we just had to<br />
walk away from it, which is quite<br />
a big hit.”<br />
But it won’t hamper the wine<br />
stocks at supermarkets and local<br />
restaurants.<br />
“We’ve got the 2015 and the<br />
2016 has just been released, so<br />
we’ve still got plenty of wine.<br />
I’d need to sell three cases of<br />
wine a day to sell what we produce.”<br />

IN THE past year, Hirone<br />
Waretini and his team have had<br />
to come to terms with something<br />
difficult – failure.<br />
Five years ago, police launched<br />
a national strategy, Turning of<br />
the Tide. <strong>The</strong> goal was to turn<br />
around the high numbers of<br />
Māori who were involved in<br />
crime and road crashes, and the<br />
high numbers of Māori becoming<br />
victims of them.<br />
But it hasn’t worked.<br />
As Canterbury Police Māori,<br />
Pacific and Ethnic Services district<br />
manager, Inspector Waretini<br />
has those numbers always on<br />
his mind.<br />
At last count, eight per cent<br />
of Christchurch residents were<br />
Māori – yet Māori made up<br />
about 20 per cent of the people<br />
apprehended by police, he said.<br />
More than half of New Zealand’s<br />
prison population is Māori<br />
– 51 per cent.<br />
GREETING: Canterbury District Commander John Price greets Ngahuia Ngata, while Ngā Maata<br />
Waka chief executive Norm Dewes looks on. Canterbury police are working together with local<br />
rūnanga to try to reduce high Māori crime statistics.<br />
A six-year national strategy<br />
Turning <strong>The</strong> Tide was launched<br />
in 2012, timed to finish in 2018.<br />
It aimed to cut the number of<br />
Māori first-time offenders by 10<br />
per cent, cut repeat offenders and<br />
repeat victims of crime by 20 per<br />
cent, reduce Māori apprehensions,<br />
and reduce the number of<br />
Maori killed or seriously injured<br />
in road crashes by 20 per cent. It<br />
also aimed to increase trust and<br />
confidence in police within the<br />
Māori community.<br />
But a review of progress on<br />
the strategy last year found there<br />
had been no change in the first<br />
time offender rates, an increase<br />
in repeat offenders, and trust and<br />
confidence in police within the<br />
Māori community had dipped.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were small improvements<br />
– a reduction in apprehensions<br />
of Māori youth, and the<br />
number of deaths in crashes<br />
dropped by three per cent – but<br />
overall it fell well short of the<br />
goals.<br />
“We need to look at different<br />
ways of doing things, because,<br />
if I’m being honest, everything<br />
we’ve tried to do to change<br />
that hasn’t worked,” Inspector<br />
Waretini said.<br />
“Some nights I’ll sit with my<br />
kids, when we’re warm and<br />
everyone’s home safe, knowing<br />
there are a lot of kids out there<br />
that aren’t. That women out there<br />
are being victimised by their<br />
partners, that men are in the grip<br />
of meth or alcohol, and can’t find<br />
a way out,” he said.<br />
To truly turn the tide, police<br />
had to be willing to do things<br />
differently, he said.<br />
When he began working as<br />
young police officer 21 years ago,<br />
he said seeing a criminal locked<br />
up had felt like a victory.<br />
“We were the good guys, they<br />
were the bad guys, and it was<br />
our job to protect the good<br />
people from the bad people,” he<br />
said.<br />
But over the years, he had seen<br />
that approach did not always<br />
work to prevent crime long-term,<br />
he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> research tell us that when<br />
people appear in court, whether<br />
they have a community-based<br />
sentence or prison, that starts a<br />
cycle that is really hard to get out<br />
of,” he said.<br />

‘To make a change, we need to work in partnership’<br />
•From page 10<br />
A long-term solution began<br />
with children, he said.<br />
Many Christchurch children<br />
were starting life disadvantaged,<br />
he said, and if that could be<br />
changed, he believed it would go<br />
a long way.<br />
“How can a child born today,<br />
by the age of 25, be free of family<br />
harm and of sexual abuse, live in<br />
a healthy, secure environment,<br />
have good mental health, have at<br />
least NCEA Level 2 and a driver<br />
licence,” he said.<br />
That took a long time and the<br />
help from the community to turn<br />
around, he said.<br />
And that was where the team<br />
had seen victories.<br />
Many programmes they have<br />
worked with iwi and community<br />
partners to develop have received<br />
Government funding in the<br />
past year – allowing them to do<br />
more targeted work with people<br />
like high-risk youth, children of<br />
prisoners, and young people who<br />
could not get a driver licence.<br />
A string of convictions for<br />
something like driving without<br />
a licence could sometimes stem<br />
from a simple problem, Inspector<br />
Waretini said – he had come<br />
across young people who hadn’t<br />
got their driver licence because<br />
they struggled to read.<br />
CHANGE: Inspector Hirone Waretini and his team are working alongside Canterbury iwi to find<br />
new ways to reduce crime and keep the community safe.<br />

One of the biggest victories,<br />
he said, had been building better<br />
relationships between police and<br />
the community.<br />
He said there was now open<br />
communication, and police were<br />
regularly welcomed onto Canterbury<br />
marae.<br />
“Good relationships take a long<br />
time, and they take commitment<br />
and listening. Being married will<br />
teach you that,” he said.<br />
He said his team could be accused<br />
of being “all hui, no do-ey”,<br />
because so much of their work<br />
was talk.<br />
But he said even a conversation<br />
over a cup of tea was important.<br />
“A cuppa tea is like a job interview.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re sizing you up and<br />
deciding if you’re someone they<br />
can trust,” he said.<br />
Senior Constable Jeff Martin<br />
has seen it with a fresh perspective,<br />
as he joined the team just<br />
four months ago.<br />
He had been impressed by<br />
the things he had seen – like a<br />
recent session at the marae-based<br />
Rangatahi Court, where young<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
offenders were being sentenced.<br />
<strong>The</strong> differences to the district<br />
court in the central city were<br />
subtle, but important, he said –<br />
the young offenders stood and<br />
gave a mihi, rather than standing<br />
silent behind a sheet of glass, and<br />
families were included in the<br />
process rather than kept at the<br />
back.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was a sense of respect<br />
there, and accountability to the<br />
community, he said.<br />
He has worked as a police<br />
officer for <strong>27</strong> years, much of it<br />
based in small communities like<br />
Huntly and Cheviot, and most<br />
recently on the beat at Cathedral<br />
Square.<br />
Everything he learned taught<br />
him building trust and strong<br />
relationships was vital to making<br />
a change, he said.<br />
Although the team had not<br />
yet seen the changes they were<br />
hoping for, they would not stop<br />
working until they did, he said.<br />
“We need to recognise we can’t<br />
do this on our own. With the local<br />
rūnanga we share many common<br />
values, but for too long our<br />
approach has been that we know<br />
what the problems are, we know<br />
what the solutions are, this is how<br />
we will do it. To make a change,<br />
we need to work in partnership,<br />
and really listen,” he said.<br />

Our People<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Neil Pattinson<br />
Good results for winemaker’s<br />
Neil Pattinson and his wife Jill planted grapes on their<br />
Charteris Bay property to see if they could make nice<br />
wine. Now, more than 10 years on, Bridget Rutherford<br />
speaks to him about producing award-winning wines<br />
under the Whistling Buoy label<br />
Whistling Buoy’s 2015 pinot<br />
noir was named champion wine<br />
at the Wines of Canterbury<br />
awards. Were you expecting it?<br />
Of course (laughs). I’m very<br />
pleasantly surprised, we knew it<br />
was a good wine. I was absolutely<br />
thrilled we got a gold medal,<br />
then actually won best match<br />
with game so, to me, that was<br />
reward enough. But to actually<br />
then be named champion wine<br />
of the competition at the very<br />
end, that’s just the icing on the<br />
cake.<br />
What do you think made this<br />
wine so good?<br />
I think it’s a vintage, so it was a<br />
really good year and the disease<br />
pressure was relatively low. It was<br />
also warm so it had all the right<br />
elements. Obviously, you’ve still<br />
got to put in a lot of viticulture<br />
to manage the site. You’ve got to<br />
get good air flow and good light<br />
penetration. So I think it was<br />
good vineyard management, it<br />
was a good vintage, and then<br />
taking really good fruit and<br />
turning it into really exquisite pinot<br />
noir. It’s all the elements that<br />
make a really good wine. Our<br />
winemaking is done up at Greystone<br />
in Waipara, so we don’t<br />
do it on site. So at harvest point,<br />
it’s shipped up to Greystone. But<br />
we do have lots of input on the<br />
style we want and the amount of<br />
oak and oak exposure and that<br />
comes to the sorting of the fruit<br />
and the whole process. It’s not<br />
hands-off. This particular wine<br />
has had 10 months on oak and<br />
there’s new oak in that not just<br />
old oak.<br />
It’s the second year a wine<br />
from Banks Peninsula has<br />
taken out the award, isn’t it?<br />
We got second last year.<br />
Meniscus Wines in Akaroa were<br />
the top pinot noir. <strong>The</strong> three top<br />
pinot noirs got the top three in<br />
that category – there was Meniscus,<br />
Tussock Hill and ourselves.<br />
Ours was the top chardonnay<br />
last year. I think that’s the thing<br />
about the peninsula, because<br />
it’s on clay-based soil and pinot<br />
noir does particularly well and<br />
chardonnay grape does as well. If<br />
you’re going to pick wine varieties<br />
Banks Peninsula exemplifies,<br />
it would be pinot noir, pinot gris<br />
and chardonnay.<br />
And being so close to the<br />
water in Lyttelton Harbour, do<br />
you still get any frosts?<br />
We do right in the middle<br />
of winter, but not during the<br />
important growing season or the<br />
early start to the year. In places<br />
like Waipara and central plains,<br />
you’ve got to have frost protection<br />
and we don’t have to bother<br />
with that. We have planted in<br />
that French-style, the spaces<br />
between vines and rows are quite<br />
small. So it does mean it’s very<br />
hard to mechanise and also we’re<br />
on sloping sites, everything’s<br />
done by hand. So part of that<br />
is you’re in the vineyard all the<br />
time, you’re constantly monitoring,<br />
you’re constantly tuning, so<br />
it’s a bit labour intensive, but it<br />
means that labour of love transforms<br />
into really good quality<br />
fruit.<br />
What were you doing before<br />
you decided to put grapes in?<br />
I’m a clinical biochemist by<br />
training, so I worked at the<br />
hospital for about 14 years. Ivan<br />
Donaldson was starting up<br />
Pegasus Bay at the time, I also<br />
worked with a gastroenterologist<br />
– Bruce Chapman – and they<br />
own Terrace Edge; they put in<br />
some olives and grapes later on.<br />
So every medical conference<br />
you go to – a lot are overseas<br />
in beautiful places like France,<br />
SUCCESS: Whistling Buoy owner Neil Pattinson says they were thrilled with their honours at the<br />
Wines of Canterbury awards.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Switzerland and Germany – then<br />
obviously part in parcel with<br />
that are the evening dinners and<br />
concerts and, of course, they’re<br />
all served with beautiful wine.<br />
You couldn’t not have an interest<br />
in wine.<br />
When did you decide to put<br />
in grapes?<br />
We had about 2ha of land at<br />
Charteris Bay and we had sheep.<br />
We’d gone through the typical<br />
lifestyle block, so we started with<br />
sheep, then we had a goat, and<br />
our daughter had a pony. <strong>The</strong>n I<br />
thought, why not put vines in?<br />
Did you ever think you would<br />
get to this point where you have<br />
award-winning wines?<br />
Yes and no. <strong>The</strong> initial reality<br />
was just: Can we grow some<br />
good grapes and produce good<br />
wine, mainly for our own<br />
consumption and friends and<br />
family? But certainly, when<br />
you produce wine you want<br />
it to be really good, you don’t<br />
want people thinking, oh, Neil’s<br />
bringing out his home brew<br />
again. I didn’t want to make<br />
rubbish wine, we did at that<br />
time contract a really good<br />
winemaker – Grant Whelan<br />
from Kaituna Valley. So<br />
basically, it was good grapes and<br />
a really good winemaker and the<br />
rest is history.<br />
What do your kids do?<br />
Tony is in Coolangatta (Gold<br />
Coast). He’s just set up a pizzeria.<br />
He’s been over there for six or<br />
seven years. He started off in<br />
Tasmania with a restaurant<br />
called Restaurant Red, then<br />
he came to Brisbane and met<br />
his partner and now they’re in<br />
Coolangatta. <strong>The</strong>y are going to<br />
have our wine at the restaurant.<br />
Our daughter Kate is trained<br />
as a teacher, and she’s working<br />
at Manuwera Institute of<br />
Technology as a departmental<br />
manager. And our other son<br />
Chris is a winemaker. He’s now<br />
working for Sherwood Estate<br />
in Waipara, I’m wanting him to<br />
take charge of the half acre.<br />

labour of love<br />
So before you turned your<br />
focus to Whistling Buoy,<br />
where else had you been<br />
working?<br />
After the hospital, I joined<br />
a biotechnology company<br />
called Life Technologies,<br />
then I became chief executive<br />
of Canterbury Scientific. I<br />
resigned from that a year<br />
ago to focus on building the<br />
brand and establishing a sales<br />
network for Whistling Buoy.<br />
But I chair the board of a start<br />
up biotech company called<br />
AuramerBio out of Victoria<br />
University. And I’ve been<br />
doing some consulting work<br />
at Canterbury University for<br />
the Canterbury Development<br />
Corp. I’m just about to start a<br />
job at ChristchurchNZ as its<br />
senior advisor of innovation<br />
and commercialisation.<br />
You mentioned everything<br />
is done by hand. Do you<br />
have a bit of help to pick the<br />
grapes?<br />
It’s a social occasion. Here<br />
at Kokolo, the picking, it’s<br />
three consecutive days. We<br />
have about 25 people and we<br />
fill about 10 big 400kg bins.<br />
We have a truck that comes<br />
out and they get taken out that<br />
night. After we sit outside, talk,<br />
eat and drink – it’s a lot of fun.<br />
I hear your wife Jill does a<br />
lot of maintenance around<br />
here?<br />
She has her own mower,<br />
which she loves to sit upon,<br />
she gets upset if I jump on<br />
the mower from time to time.<br />
But we do use sheep up on<br />
the vineyard, I do use the<br />
mulching mower, but we have<br />
sheep as well. David Carter,<br />
our next-door neighbour,<br />
brings his sheep in.<br />
Do the sheep damage the<br />
vines at all?<br />
You’ve got to be careful.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing on the vines<br />
at the moment so they’ll just<br />
chew up the grass. But during<br />
the season, you don’t want<br />
them on bud set, the only time<br />
you really bring them in is<br />
when you want to leaf pluck<br />
so when you’ve got fruit set,<br />
but the berries are really hard<br />
and green. <strong>The</strong> leaves are<br />
green they will probably<br />
have a crack at one or two<br />
bunches but they’ll think<br />
that’s rubbish.<br />
Do you hope to<br />
expand Whistling<br />
Buoy?<br />
If we can successfully<br />
establish the brand<br />
and get a really good<br />
route to market<br />
then, yes, it would<br />
certainly be quite<br />
nice to build it. But<br />
there’s a balance<br />
there, too, you don’t<br />
want to be so large you lose<br />
your focus. Being boutique is<br />
good.<br />

Another rainy day<br />
for saturated city<br />
GET THOSE umbrellas out<br />
again, another rainy day is on the<br />
way for the city.<br />
But the downpour is not expected<br />
to reach the same levels<br />
that flooded homes and caused a<br />
state of emergency at the weekend,<br />
MetService meteorologist<br />
April Clark said.<br />
Showers are due to begin later<br />
this morning and will continue<br />
throughout the rest of the day,<br />
Ms Clark said.<br />
“Once it comes in, it’ll be persistent<br />
but it is not going to be as<br />
heavy.”<br />
MetService is keeping an eye<br />
on the rain and is ready to put<br />
a weather watch in place if that<br />
changes.<br />
Ms Clark said before<br />
MetServive put a heavy rain<br />
warning in place, the weather<br />
system has to meet a criteria,<br />
which this one does not look like<br />
it will meet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is keeping a<br />
wary eye on the weather.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
said: “<strong>The</strong> forecast of further<br />
rain from (today) . . . means the<br />
situation is still changeable, but<br />
we are working hard to minimise<br />
any impacts by clearing flood<br />
debris from rivers, sumps and<br />
stormwater grates, and keeping<br />
pumps deployed in Southshore<br />
and Flockton.”<br />
Christchurch is expected to<br />
miss snow again. <strong>The</strong> low is only<br />
expected to bring snow down to<br />
400m in Canterbury on Friday,<br />
Ms Clark said.<br />
“(Today’s) really the worst day<br />
and it’s an easing trend from<br />
there,” she said.<br />
Showers will become patchy<br />
tomorrow, bringing a chilly but<br />
relatively clear Saturday and a<br />
fine Sunday.<br />

Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Women get into construction<br />
IT WAS a rough end to the<br />
school holidays for many in<br />
Christchurch with homes,<br />
businesses and streets under<br />
water, or very close to it.<br />
Sometimes it seems like our<br />
city just can’t catch a break. But,<br />
on the upside, we’ve got our<br />
response down to a fine art.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mayor declared a state of<br />
emergency early; Civil Defence<br />
acted quickly and decisively to<br />
keep people and property out of<br />
harm’s way; and the New Zealand<br />
Defence Force, volunteers and<br />
a whole host of other agencies<br />
swung into action.<br />
Those I’ve spoken to say last<br />
week’s flooding was the worst in<br />
decades and, unfortunately,<br />
more rain is forecast for today.<br />
While it’s not expected to be as<br />
heavy, now’s a good time to replenish<br />
the emergency kit, revise<br />
your household evacuation plan<br />
and check in with friends and<br />
family.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest Greater Christchurch<br />
Dashboard — Women in Construction<br />
contains some really<br />
positive news for Christchurch<br />
and the rebuild/regeneration<br />
process.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of women working<br />
in both residential and<br />
non-residential construction in<br />
Canterbury has increased from<br />
3400 in March 2010 to 7600 in<br />
March <strong>2017</strong> — a 124 per cent<br />
increase. More and more women<br />
are embracing rebuild opportunities<br />
by entering and succeeding<br />
in this traditionally maledominated<br />
industry. Women<br />
can bring a fresh perspective,<br />
Nicky Wagner<br />
strengthen customer relations,<br />
add diversity and improve business<br />
performance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Stronger Christchurch<br />
Infrastructure Rebuild Team,<br />
which was responsible for<br />
repairing Christchurch’s quakedamaged<br />
infrastructure, proactively<br />
encouraged women into<br />
its workforce through the SCIRT<br />
Women in Construction working<br />
group. Between 2014 and 2015,<br />
the number of women in crew<br />
roles at SCIRT doubled from six<br />
to 12 per cent.<br />
With a skills shortage around<br />
the country, it’s great to see more<br />
women in construction — it<br />
provides new opportunities for<br />
women and their families, and it<br />
makes good business sense, benefitting<br />
Christchurch and New<br />
Zealand economically.<br />

Regeneration<br />
•Megan Woods and Lianne<br />
Dalziel, page 18<br />
We said:<br />
Cameras and video<br />
technology are being<br />
investigated to accurately<br />
count the number of red<br />
light runners in the city.<br />
You said:<br />
Shaun Evans – <strong>The</strong>y need to<br />
change how the lights actually<br />
filter the traffic. Most intersections<br />
don’t even have a proper<br />
right-turn filter. Honestly, I<br />
can navigate my way through<br />
London easier than Christchurch<br />
and that’s a city with double the<br />
population of NZ.<br />
Ashleigh Bearman – Don’t<br />
waste money installing cameras<br />
to see if the problem “is that<br />
bad.” It only takes one car running<br />
a red light for potential<br />
catastrophic results. Why not put<br />
that money into a decent system<br />
to catch the offenders.<br />
Tony Winkworth Howell<br />
– I see it all day, every day. <strong>The</strong><br />
sooner the cameras come in the<br />
better. We could set up deck<br />
chairs at intersections and cheer<br />
each time the camera catches one.<br />
Riccardo Ingrosso – Red<br />
light-running is really bad. Bring<br />
on the cameras.<br />
Jamie Dermerm – It’s a<br />
nightmare here in Christchurch.<br />
Majority of drivers really have no<br />
idea how to use roundabouts and<br />
traffic lights.<br />

Investing in education<br />
VISITING LOCAL schools is one<br />
of the things I love most about<br />
my job.<br />
Not only do you meet fantastic<br />
parents, children and staff, but you<br />
also get you a really good feel for<br />
what is happening in local communities<br />
and neighbourhoods.<br />
Sometimes I’m also inspired<br />
about the opportunities being<br />
offered to our children. Education<br />
is vital to making sure that all our<br />
kids can achieve their potential.<br />
<strong>The</strong> power of education to<br />
transform lives has been embedded<br />
in Labour’s heart since the<br />
1930s.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first Labour Government<br />
not only built the welfare state<br />
and houses; they also built an<br />
education system that was available<br />
to everyone regardless of<br />
their bank balance. Universal and<br />
free education was central to our<br />
plan for the future.<br />
Fast forward to today, and I am<br />
concerned that the commitment<br />
to free education is slipping away.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no doubt that parents<br />
are being asked to stump up<br />
for more and more of the costs<br />
of education. Early Childhood<br />
Education fees have risen by an<br />
average of 25 per cent under National,<br />
while so called voluntary<br />
school donations have risen by 50<br />
per cent. Tertiary fees are up over<br />
40 per cent and student debt has<br />
topped $16 billion.<br />
This is why we have chosen to<br />
invest in education rather than<br />
dishing out $400 million in tax<br />
cuts for the top ten percent of<br />
earners.<br />
We will invest an extra $4 billion<br />
over four years to deliver a<br />
modern education system. We<br />
will ensure that schooling is<br />
genuinely free by offering an extra<br />
$150 per student to state and state<br />
integrated schools that don’t ask<br />
parents for donations.<br />
By investing in education, the<br />
next generation of Kiwis will be<br />
better qualified and ready to take<br />
on the rapidly changing world.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will be equipped to help<br />
build a better New Zealand.<br />
•Megan Woods is Labour’s<br />
Canterbury spokeswoman<br />
Face up to more flooding<br />
MY HEART goes out to those<br />
whose homes were flooded on<br />
the weekend.<br />
I remember only too well in<br />
2014 how vulnerable people felt<br />
in the wake of two so-called “one<br />
in 100-year” events that swamped<br />
the Flockton area twice in a matter<br />
of weeks, along with Heathcote<br />
Valley and the lower reaches<br />
of the Heathcote River.<br />
This weekend was a reminder<br />
that we haven’t fully recovered<br />
from the earthquakes and there<br />
is still much to be done. It’s true<br />
that our Land Drainage Recovery<br />
Programme involves hundreds of<br />
millions of dollars, and it involves<br />
a lot of planning and engineering<br />
capacity both in terms of holding<br />
back stormwater from the river<br />
at peak flows and pumping water<br />
away from the streets and properties<br />
that line the river.<br />
More importantly it involves<br />
residents, as they want to be<br />
involved in planning drainage<br />
management.<br />
I’m afraid we have to face up to<br />
the reality that these events will<br />
continue to increase in frequency<br />
and severity. That’s what climate<br />
change means and we are a<br />
coastal city that has built in the<br />
natural floodplains of our rivers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> quake has also created a<br />
particular vulnerability along the<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
eastern side of the estuary, with<br />
the removal of red zone houses in<br />
Southshore and a significant drop<br />
in the land in South Brighton. We<br />
have already asked council staff<br />
to provide options for resolving<br />
some of these issues and we are<br />
expecting that report very soon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘red zoning’ along the<br />
Avon River after the earthquakes<br />
has actually saved us from having<br />
to address those issues along the<br />
Avon and in Brooklands. This<br />
has also opened up new opportunities<br />
for wetlands which can not<br />
only provide more space for the<br />
rivers, it can help clean stormwater<br />
before entering the river.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Heathcote River presents<br />
a far greater challenge. Once the<br />
ponding areas for storage are<br />
completed in the upper reaches,<br />
we will have capacity to store<br />
800,000 cu m of stormwater, and<br />
that will really help.<br />
We will continue to work<br />
through all the issues with the<br />
communities that live in these<br />
flood prone areas so good decisions<br />
can be made.<br />
As a footnote, I have just attended<br />
the Local Government<br />
New Zealand Conference and<br />
was pleased that Christchurch<br />
has been chosen to host next<br />
year’s conference.<br />
It not only means over 600<br />
delegates coming to our city, it’s a<br />
great opportunity to debate some<br />
of the lessons learned from our<br />
experience and the challenges we<br />
all have to face.<br />

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements<br />
<strong>The</strong> Blind Care Company has been<br />
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />
for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />
have seen changes in both fashion and<br />
technology. Styles have ranged from<br />
festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />
and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />
and in every colour or pattern popular<br />
since the 1960s.<br />
Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />
Company has the expertise to keep your<br />
window treatments looking fresh and<br />
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />
can be removed so that your blinds<br />
smell fresh and are restored to their<br />
original glory. <strong>The</strong> company can repair<br />
blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />
in stock. And if you want something<br />
completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />
available for purchase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company prides itself on efficient<br />
service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />
with most work taking one or two<br />
days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />
available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />
for clients. <strong>The</strong> Cashel Street location<br />
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />
and drop-off service is available. 150<br />
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />
** <strong>The</strong> Best Clean and Shine EVERY TIME **<br />
or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />
50 per day. That means they will come to<br />
your home or office, remove and clean<br />
your blinds on the spot and reinstall them<br />
for you.<br />
A cut-down and size alteration service<br />
is available in order that the blinds you<br />
bought are a perfect fit.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are experts in their field with a<br />
huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />
In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />
for at least 8 years, and many up to 20<br />
years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />
will work hard to make sure it gets done,<br />
including one job of 800 blinds which<br />
they completed in 4 days.<br />

Rachel Vogan sings the<br />
praises of sweet peas<br />
– tough little bloomers<br />
that can light up the<br />
garden year-round<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Flowers that are as sweet as can be<br />
WHENEVER I’M asked what<br />
my favorite flower is, I struggle to<br />
answer as I have so many.<br />
It’s like asking which is your<br />
favourite child – how do you<br />
choose? My top picks always<br />
include dahlias, gladioli, daphne,<br />
and daisies; I am never without<br />
roses or hellebores no matter<br />
where I live, and every year<br />
without fail I grow sweet peas<br />
anywhere I can find room to<br />
squeeze them in.<br />
I’m not sure where my devotion<br />
to them came from – my uncle<br />
Teddy used to grow them in<br />
French Farm in the 1970s, so<br />
it may have been from there,<br />
although I have always loved any<br />
flower I can pick for a posy, and<br />
have a special affection for any<br />
bloom that will give someone joy<br />
when they’re presented with it.<br />
New Zealand has a strong<br />
history with sweet peas, both<br />
in terms of seed production<br />
for English and European seed<br />
catalogues and sweet pea breeding.<br />
Dr Keith Hammett is the<br />
godfather of sweet pea breeding;<br />
he has a passion for these blooms<br />
that just captivates you.<br />
Keith’s interest in the sweet pea<br />
started off as a teenager, when<br />
his uncle decided he wanted to<br />
separate his flower and vegetable<br />
garden, doing so by planting a<br />
dividing row of sweet peas. To<br />
hear Keith recall it, it was love<br />
at first sight. This love has only<br />
continued throughout the years,<br />
as sweet pea varieties bearing the<br />
Hammett name are now sold all<br />
over New Zealand and around the<br />
world.<br />
I first met him about 20 years<br />
ago, and was struck by his<br />
contagious keenness for both<br />
breeding plants and creating<br />
cultivars that fitted the local<br />
New Zealand climate. I couldn’t<br />
PACKED WITH PERFUME: High Scent (left) is tremendous<br />
variety to plant. Sweet pea Bix (middle) and Pink Nines for the<br />
show bench.<br />
quite keep up with all the<br />
different characteristics he was<br />
producing and aiming for, but was<br />
mesmerised and wanted to soak<br />
up what I could, knowing that I<br />
could stand to learn a lot from<br />
him. So I sat and listened, barely<br />
saying a word!<br />
Fast forward a few decades<br />
and every year I plant out dozens<br />
of his varieties. My go-to is his<br />
High Scent as it has got the<br />
most magnificent fragrance, and<br />
beautiful flowers with an antique<br />
cream base and delicate violet<br />
edging on each petal. One of its<br />
best features is probably its prolific<br />
blooming capacity, as once it starts<br />
flowering in November I can be<br />
picking it continuously until the<br />
end of March, as long as I pick off<br />
any spent flower seed pods along<br />
the way, and make sure to fertilise<br />
and water them regularly. Like me,<br />
they love their tucker!<br />
For the show bench I always<br />
plant Piggy Sue (not to be<br />
confused with Peggy Sue), named<br />
after a pig rescued from farrowing<br />
stalls. Its colouring is a pink flush<br />
against a cream ground, with<br />
young flowers that often resemble<br />
a pink picotee when they first<br />
open. Last year I planted Pink<br />
Nines for the first time, which has<br />
masses of flowers on each stem –<br />
up to nine on each. Paradox has<br />
an intense, rich, violet-blue flower<br />
but has lost its ability to climb,<br />
so is one you would plant as a<br />
ground cover or for use in hanging<br />
baskets.<br />
Keith says all the sweet peas<br />
he offers are great for picking,<br />
reminding me that “Sweet peas are<br />
the ultimate ‘cut and come again’<br />
flower”, meaning that the more<br />
you pick from the flower stems,<br />
the more they will produce.<br />
He goes on to mention: “<strong>The</strong><br />
ones with the larger, frilly flowers<br />
have longer stems than, say, some<br />
of the smaller flowered forms<br />
with the strongest scent.” His<br />
most highly-scented varieties are<br />
Original, High Scent, More Scent,<br />
and High Society.<br />
WHEN, WHERE & HOW<br />
• Plenty of sun needs to be<br />
on the menu – while sweet peas<br />
will bloom in half-day sun, the<br />
results are always best when they<br />
are planted somewhere that gets<br />
rays all day.<br />
• Sow seeds now or look<br />
for seedlings, as they are in<br />
the shops throughout August,<br />
September and into October.<br />
• Seeds can be sown directly<br />
where they are to flower<br />
provided the soil is well drained,<br />
in a sunny position, and you<br />
are able to protect against slugs,<br />
snails and maybe birds.<br />
• If sown into pots for<br />
planting out later, seeds do<br />
not need to be grown inside<br />
or in the glasshouse, simply<br />
sow and place outside in full<br />
light.<br />
• Provide support – sweet<br />
peas are a tumbling vine and<br />
need something to cling to when<br />
climbing. This support can be<br />
as simple as bamboo canes,<br />
wigwams, or old bike wheels,<br />
while netting against a fence or<br />
wall is a popular choice.<br />
now bigger than ever<br />

BOOKS/ARTS I 2<br />
Austin Mitchell’s new book Revenge of the<br />
Rich <strong>The</strong> neoliberal revolution in Britain and New<br />
Zealand, published by Canterbury University<br />
Press, charts the development of a marketdriven<br />
neoliberal creed, where governments<br />
are devoted to efficiency, cost-cutting and<br />
austerity at the people’s expense.<br />
Many New Zealanders will remember<br />
Mitchell’s best-selling book <strong>The</strong><br />
Half-Gallon Quarter-Acre<br />
Pavlova Paradise (1972).<br />
In this new, outspoken<br />
opinion piece, Mitchell,<br />
who was a long-serving<br />
British Labour MP for<br />
Grimsby, denounces the<br />
economic policy of the<br />
last three decades as “a<br />
long march down Dead-<br />
End Street” – a neoliberal<br />
experiment that has<br />
benefitted the rich and<br />
eroded the “good society”<br />
with its welfare state and<br />
government commitment<br />
to the betterment of the<br />
people.<br />
In Revenge of the Rich<br />
Mitchell considers how<br />
neoliberalism became government<br />
policy in Britain and New Zealand and<br />
discusses its consequences in terms of<br />
greater inequality, lower growth and higher<br />
unemployment. He believes this book<br />
is the first to look at the rise and fall of<br />
neoliberalism as the prevailing ideology in the<br />
two countries where it was imposed “further<br />
and faster” than in any others.<br />
<strong>The</strong> role of the state was cut back and<br />
power handed to the market, he says.<br />
New book denounces<br />
neoliberal policies<br />
“In both countries industry declined, assets<br />
were sold to survive and the social balances,<br />
which had been tilted to the people after<br />
the war, were tilted back to wealth. Taxes on<br />
business and the rich fell as their share of<br />
Gross Domestic Product increased. <strong>The</strong> result,<br />
in each country, was a revolt of the people,<br />
voting for proportional representation in New<br />
Zealand to tie the hands of<br />
the politicians and, much later,<br />
voting for Brexit in Britain as<br />
the people and the regions left<br />
behind by the austerity said<br />
‘enough is enough’.”<br />
Mitchell says gaps between<br />
the rich and the less well<br />
off in both Britain and New<br />
Zealand have been widened<br />
over the three decades of<br />
neoliberalism. Ultimately, he<br />
would like readers to take<br />
a hopeful message from the<br />
book: “Things don't have to<br />
be this way and alternative<br />
policies become possible if<br />
governments listen to the<br />
people rather than follow<br />
an ideology,” he says.<br />
In the book’s foreword the Rt. Hon Helen<br />
Clark, who was Prime Minister of New<br />
Zealand 1999-2008 says: “Agree with it, or<br />
disagree with it, love it or loathe it, Austin<br />
Mitchell’s writing provokes us to reflect<br />
on what our common future could be. It is<br />
written in a lively fashion with highly quotable<br />
turns of phrase.”<br />

Arts Centre<br />
restoration<br />
<strong>The</strong> damage to the Christchurch Arts<br />
Centre in the 2011 earthquake and its<br />
subsequent closure has been distressing<br />
for many of us who went there regularly to<br />
enjoy its variety of facilities and activities –<br />
often with visitors from out-of-town.<br />
Thankfully, this unique complex is being<br />
restored, so as time goes on we will be able<br />
to enjoy it all again.<br />
Christchurch photographer Johannes<br />
van Kan has been documenting the Arts<br />
Centre’s post-earthquake restoration<br />
since 2013. His limited edition, behind-thescenes<br />
photographs of the Arts Centre’s<br />
restoration are featured in the first<br />
exhibition at the Christchurch Arts Centre’s<br />
new exhibition space, Pumanawa, which is<br />
located in the restored Boys’ High building<br />
on Worcester Boulevard.<br />
Called Restore, the exhibition of these<br />
spectacular, large-format images opens on<br />
<strong>July</strong> 26, and they will be for sale, with all<br />
proceeds going towards the restoration of<br />
the Arts Centre. More than half of the Arts<br />
Centre restoration is now complete but the<br />
remainder of this painstaking work cannot<br />
be finished unless another $35million is<br />
fundraised, says fundraising manager Susan<br />
Henson.<br />
“Johannes is one of Christchurch’s leading<br />
photographers and we are grateful that<br />
he has donated his skills and captured the<br />
restoration in such an artistic manner – the<br />
images can only be described as stunning,”<br />
she says.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Arts Centre is a unique historical<br />
treasure in Canterbury and these<br />
photographs give a very special insight into<br />
the care and attention that has gone into<br />
saving it for future generations. This is a<br />
chance for individuals and corporates to<br />
purchase their own slice of our city’s history<br />
while at the same time helping to ensure<br />
that this incredibly important restoration is<br />
completed.”<br />

to our community than we have ever been<br />
and this is another way of achieving this.”<br />

3 I NEW DIRECTIONS<br />
A new career after 50<br />
Alistair Hazeldine<br />
industry. I loved the interaction with my 40<br />
staff, their customers and the suppliers that<br />
help a business function, but towards the end<br />
I felt that it had become repetitive. To put it<br />
this way, I felt like I was someone who loved<br />
climbing mountains, but that I had climbed<br />
every mountain numerous times and therefore<br />
it had lost some of its challenge.<br />
After taking six months away from work,<br />
I undertook a computer course at ARA as a<br />
step towards getting back into the discipline<br />
of getting up early (attending the 8am course)<br />
and being committed to achieving something<br />
worthwhile. (I would recommend this to<br />
anyone). Computer knowledge is essential and<br />
without it, your confidence will suffer.<br />
I chose real estate as my new career as it<br />
allowed me to continue to meet people and<br />
most importantly for me, to assist them in<br />
making decisions and being a part of things<br />
that affect their lifestyle. I selected Harcourts<br />
Grenadier as the company I wished to work<br />
with due to their outstanding reputation in the<br />
market and the strong brand values they stand<br />
for. I felt that with starting a new career, it was<br />
significant to select a company that had a high<br />
market presence and one that had moral values<br />
I could relate to. Selling real estate is different<br />
from selling motor vehicles, as with motor<br />
vehicles stock was easier to obtain, whereas in<br />
real estate it’s all about getting something to<br />
sell, i.e. a listing.<br />
What have been the challenges,<br />
the impact on your family and<br />
your lifestyle, and what have<br />
been the rewards?<br />
I have to say that the earthquakes affected<br />
my ability to function in unexpected ways. Our<br />
family home in Sumner became unlivable, as it<br />
was hit by a boulder, and we were ‘white zoned’<br />
for nearly three years, meaning that life seemed<br />
to stand still. This is still very hard to describe,<br />
but if there has been a benefit, it is that I have<br />
a deeper understanding of the value of family<br />
and especially the loving support of my wife.<br />
Everyone’s circumstances and experiences due<br />
to the earthquakes are unique and I am grateful<br />
that for us, things could have been worse.<br />
Coming from a senior position in an industry<br />
that I knew ‘inside out’ and starting fresh is<br />
challenging. It feels awkward to find yourself<br />
asking a lot of questions (and there is a lot<br />
to learn), where once you were the person<br />
giving the answers. That said, you are the only<br />
one feeling this way so you have to put these<br />
feelings aside.<br />
Real estate involves weekend work but this<br />
hasn’t affected my voluntary role with the<br />
Canterbury Rugby Football Union as a grade<br />
advisor for under-8 rugby, as this occupies<br />
Saturday mornings, leaving the afternoons free<br />
for open homes. My wife loves biking and we<br />
are often away at the same time, and with<br />
all of our five children having grown up and<br />
left home, my responsibilities as a father have<br />
changed slightly and I don’t need to be at home<br />
as often as I did when the kids were younger.<br />
What advice would you give<br />
anyone thinking about changing<br />
career after the age of 50?<br />
Remember that you are in control of your<br />
destiny and that changing a career at any age<br />
will ‘throw up’ concerns, but you must firmly<br />
believe that ‘anything is possible’ if you truly<br />
want it.<br />
Go for it, and remember there’s no prize for<br />
staying in a job or role when it’s not inspiring<br />
you. This will naturally be different from<br />
person to person, but in my case, I need to be<br />
challenged.<br />
Redundancy, a move to a new town, or just<br />
the desire for a new direction can mean a<br />
change of career in middle age and beyond,<br />
which can be both daunting and exciting.<br />
Forward 50 talks to Alistair Hazeldine, who was<br />
57 when he decided to make the move from<br />
vehicle sales to real estate, about why he did it,<br />
and how it has changed his life.<br />
Are you from Christchurch?<br />
Although I have lived in several parts of New<br />
Zealand, Christchurch is home and it is exciting<br />
to see the improvements around the city as the<br />
rebuild continues.<br />
What work were you involved in<br />
previously and for how long?<br />
I had been in the motor industry since<br />
PHONE 354 5616<br />
108 Sawyers Arms Rd, Papanui, Christchurch<br />
leaving high school and working in Christchurch<br />
for the same company for 34 years – in vehicle<br />
sales for seven years, sales management for 11<br />
years and dealer principal for the last 15 years.<br />
In that time I had seen and participated in a<br />
wide variety of changes and always understood<br />
that adaptability is a key to keeping ahead. I<br />
always wish to maintain an open mind and<br />
accept change as inevitable and believe that you<br />
are better to go with change than waste a lot<br />
of energy trying to object to it. Good times<br />
don’t last, but nor do bad times either, and if<br />
you keep moving forward and don’t dwell on<br />
anything for too long, it’s best.<br />
Why did you decide to take up<br />
a new career, and why did you<br />
choose real estate?<br />
I really enjoyed my time in the motor<br />

Law/PuzzLes I 4<br />
Have you thought about what care you<br />
want to receive when you reach the end of<br />
your life? During the course of our lives<br />
we expend an enormous amount of energy<br />
planning where we want to live, what we want<br />
to achieve during our lifetimes, but we don’t<br />
give much time or thought to what we would<br />
like to happen at the end of our lives.<br />
If you have a major health event that robs<br />
you of the ability to make your wishes known<br />
to your family, or to the health professionals<br />
responsible for your care, taking some time<br />
now to discuss what you want at the end of<br />
your life will provide vital guidance if your<br />
loved ones have to make those decisions for<br />
you.<br />
An Advance Care Plan or Advance Directive<br />
(“Advance Care Plan”) is a way to help you<br />
communicate to your loved ones your wishes<br />
about your future health care. It will help your<br />
loved ones and your health care providers<br />
to understand what is important to you and<br />
what treatment you do or do not want in the<br />
event that you are unable to communicate<br />
with those around you.<br />
Under the Code of Health and Disability<br />
Services Consumers’ Rights you have the right<br />
to use an Advance Care Plan to make your<br />
health care wishes known. Examples might be<br />
the desire not to receive blood transfusions,<br />
be resuscitated or kept alive with the use of<br />
life support systems.<br />
<strong>The</strong> code gives a person, who has capacity<br />
to make decisions for themselves, the right to<br />
make an Advance Care Plan. However, you<br />
should be aware that at present an Advance<br />
Advanced<br />
Care Plans<br />
Care Plan has no specific statutory status in<br />
New Zealand and is therefore not enforceable<br />
at law and may not be followed.<br />
When deciding on whether to follow<br />
your Advance Care Plan, your health care<br />
professional will try to ensure that:<br />
• You had capacity at the time the Advance<br />
Care Plan was made;<br />
• You made your Advance Care Plan of your<br />
own free will;<br />
• You were informed and understood the<br />
decisions you were making; and your<br />
Advance Care Plan applies to the current<br />
circumstances, whatever they may be.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trickiest part of an Advance Care Plan<br />
may be discussing your wishes with your<br />
loved ones. Many of us don’t like to give<br />
much thought to the decisions we may be<br />
called on to make should our loved ones be ill<br />
and unable to communicate their wishes.<br />
Talking about your Advance Care Plan with<br />
your loved ones is an important conversation<br />
and should be an integral part of your estate<br />
planning. Sharing your wishes will give you<br />
all peace of mind in knowing that should the<br />
worst come to pass you will have equipped<br />
your loved ones with the information they<br />
need to make the right decisions for you.<br />
At Harmans we have experience dealing<br />
with estate planning and can help you to<br />
formalise your wishes. Give Fleur McDonald<br />
a call on 03 352 2293 to arrange an<br />
appointment to discuss your situation.<br />

A new approach to achieving<br />
health & fitness<br />
<strong>The</strong> role of genetics, and how it relates to people’s nutrition, exercise and health is an absolute<br />
game changer when it comes to Kiwis improving their lives, a leading New Zealand exercise<br />
expert says.<br />
ExerciseNZ chief executive Richard Beddie says the science of genetics has been around for<br />
some time, but the ability to measure it cheaply and easily is quite new.<br />
“Only recently have we begun to understand how important genetics is when it comes to<br />
people’s health. No longer is science saying what is best for everyone but rather what is best for<br />
each person based on genetic make-up,” Mr Beddie says.<br />
Health professionals and exercise professionals can now use tools to provide info on their<br />
client’s genetic make-up, and more importantly, what this means for their exercise, nutrition and<br />
general wellness needs.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> key thing is understanding different genetic types respond differently and have different<br />
needs. So we now have the tools so that exercise and nutrition can be structured for optimum<br />
health in a way that is most enjoyable, based on a person’s genetic make-up.<br />
“Some people are built for short, sharp bursts of energy and these same people respond well<br />
to a competitive environment. Some people, on the other hand, need slower, strength-based<br />
activities. <strong>The</strong>re are others who prefer to work out alone and they may respond well to light<br />
weights or yoga or moderate steady exercise.<br />
“We know that, if considered a sport, exercise continues to be the number-one sport in New<br />
Zealand, having more participants than rugby, netball and cricket combined.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are currently an estimated 550,000 members of gyms and exercise facilities alone. But<br />
exercise is now just one of the many components to wellness. Many providers of exercise now<br />
offer far more holistic products and services, from dietary advice, to stress management.<br />
“Genetic profiling tools support this by proving detailed information that exercise professionals<br />
can then use to coach better health and wellness outcomes. Research confirms all this.”<br />
Mr Beddie says last month one of the world experts in the genetic fitness approach, Dr<br />
Cam McDonald, toured New Zealand with ExerciseNZ, bringing the latest research and best<br />
implementation to more than 250 exercise professionals around the country.<br />
He says no longer is science saying what is best for everyone, but rather what is best for the<br />
individual, based on their genetic make-up. And not just that, what is best for one person right<br />
now, may be different when they age.<br />
“So we see the need for genetics and timing to be optimal for a person to reach their best<br />
health. Health and exercise professionals can now use tools to provide information on their<br />
client’s genetic make-up and, more importantly, what this means for their exercise, nutrition and<br />
health,” Mr Beddie says.<br />

On January 1, 2011, the rules governing work-related hearing loss covered by ACC changed.<br />
Prior to this date, all rehabilitative costs, for example hearing aids, were covered by ACC<br />
irrespective of the degree of hearing loss attributable to work-related causes.<br />
ACC now makes a contribution or part payment towards the cost of hearing aids purchased by<br />
the claimant, provided the work-related component of their total hearing loss is six per cent or<br />
greater.<br />
Further to this a correction is made from about the age of mid-50s onwards to take into<br />
account the effects of ageing on hearing loss as we get older.<br />
Many individuals make their ACC claim for work-related hearing loss too late in life, where the<br />
effects of age push them under the six per cent threshold and their claim is declined.<br />
<strong>The</strong>refore, it is prudent to make your claim for work-related, or industrial hearing loss as it<br />
also known, sooner rather than later, thus improving your chances of success and the claim being<br />
accepted.<br />
ACC will pay for the running costs of your hearing aids, i.e. batteries, and will make a<br />
contribution to any repair your aids may need outside the manufacturer’s warranty period.<br />
In summary, ACC will allow you to ‘top-up’ to purchase the hearing aids of your choice that are<br />
compatible with your hearing loss, lifestyle and budget.<br />
Under the present regulations ACC will consider replacing your ACC-funded hearing aids every<br />
six years.<br />
“It is important to make your ACC application now, do not put it off, as time will work against<br />
you,”, audiologist Greg Foote says.<br />
If you are not satisfied with your present hearing aids, provider, require more information or<br />
wish to investigate making a claim for work-related hearing loss, make an appointment for a free<br />
no obligation consultation with Merivale Hearing Clinic.<br />

Benefits of yoga<br />
more than physical<br />
Mind-body practices such as yoga have been around for a long<br />
time. In fact yoga can be dated back over 5000 years.<br />
In more recent times yoga has become more accepted in the<br />
mainstream, with exercise options in this area increasing. This<br />
includes a big surge not just in mainstream exercise facilities, but<br />
also standalone studios offering specialist mind-body exercise<br />
options.<br />
According to New Zealand national yoga advocate and teacher<br />
Persephone Singfield, “As yoga becomes more diverse in what is<br />
on offer, more people can easily access it. No matter your age,<br />
gender, body shape or size, there’s a form of yoga out there for<br />
you. Yoga has become more accessible by different brands creating<br />
styles of yoga practice for every market.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is plenty of research to indicate that getting your heart<br />
rate up and working with heavier weights and intensities is<br />
beneficial. Equally, there is understanding on the other side that<br />
indicates the inclusion of more gentle, mindful exercise practices<br />
can also have positive effects on health and exercise levels.<br />
For many, the option of intense workouts is not appropriate.<br />
When injury, ability or life stage prevents high-intensity activity,<br />
a mind-body workout such as yoga is essential to staying active.<br />
Those who do enjoy a more intensive exercise workout are also<br />
finding the addition of a more focused workout amongst their<br />
higher-intensity session adds to their exercise enjoyment, and<br />
their results.<br />
Mind-body refers to a state where interactions and connections<br />
are made between your mind, your body and the world. Generally<br />
speaking, a mind-body exercise form is one in which the pace is<br />
slow enough for this connection to be focused on. That’s not to<br />
say there isn’t a sense of being connected on a run or during a<br />
weights session, but this is not the main focus of the activity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> benefits of yoga go beyond the physical, although this is<br />
one of its attractions as part of an exercise routine. <strong>The</strong> main<br />
physical benefits relate to the stretching component, bringing<br />
benefits such as reduced muscle tension, improved range of<br />
movement in the joints, better muscular co-ordination and<br />
increased circulation of the blood to the body.<br />
Where yoga really becomes the star of the show, however, is<br />
in its stress-reducing and relaxation benefits. With people living<br />
busier lives, constantly connected to stimulation and data even<br />
during downtime, the need for consciously created mindfulness<br />
becomes more important. It is an opportunity to slow down and<br />
connect, with mind and body.<br />
“I often say to my students that we are losing touch with how<br />
to live a simple life and that’s putting our health and happiness<br />
at risk,” Persephone says. “Carving out time to practise yoga<br />
leverages our downtime massively. For example, the difference<br />
between taking time out to breathe and connect versus watching<br />
TV to blob out is huge when it comes to our overall well-being.<br />
“My students report significant changes in their lives as a result<br />
of attending the yoga course. <strong>The</strong>y sleep deeper, they are happier,<br />
less stressed, and are practising the tools that yoga gives them<br />
throughout each and every day. Overall they are more connected<br />
to living a meaningful life.”<br />
While the injury and health risks associated with more gentle<br />
mind-body practices are lower than those of a higher-impact or<br />
intensity workout, keeping safe and exercising at a level that is<br />
suitable for you is just as important.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first sign that you are in the right place to get a safe and<br />
effective mind-body workout is that the instructor or facility does<br />
an activity pre-screen to make sure there are no risks, or things<br />
to think about before starting that would indicate participation is<br />
a risk.<br />
Secondly, the teacher or instructor should offer modifications<br />
throughout the class to enable all participants to achieve at the<br />
right level.<br />
From October <strong>2017</strong>, the New Zealand Register of Exercise<br />
Professionals (REPs) will be recognising yoga teachers through<br />
their new Registered Yoga Teacher registration level. Those<br />
registered at this level will hold relevant knowledge and skill to<br />
deliver safe and effective yoga to New Zealanders.<br />

7 I Travel<br />
It’s all about the journey<br />
Our last night together at El Nacional<br />
restaurant<br />
By Chris Lyons, Director and Tour Host, World Journeys<br />
If group travel conjures up images of hordes of tourists following a guide with a megaphone,<br />
think again! Small group travel today can be the ultimate way to travel to some of the world’s<br />
most exciting, challenging and exotic countries. I am in the enviable position of hosting small<br />
groups of Kiwi travellers each year to the likes of South America and Africa, and can honestly<br />
say it’s the way to go!<br />
You may not have friends who share your particular ‘bucket list’ of travel desires, but you<br />
don’t like travelling alone. Perhaps tackling a foreign language is too daunting, or you simply<br />
don’t have the energy to do it all yourself. Booking a small group tour takes care of all of that.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is company to share the experiences with, all the nitty gritty details are taken care of by<br />
someone else, and your host is there to smooth the way should anything unexpected happen.<br />
World Journeys creates and operates a range of small group tours each year, selecting our<br />
most-loved destinations such as the game parks of Southern Africa, the beauty and traditions<br />
of Japan, and the epic ports of the Mediterranean. Some of these journeys include a cruise –<br />
whether that be Holland America Line in the Med, or a small ship in the Galapagos Islands.<br />
Other journeys take roads less travelled, such as our itinerary in still-developing Madagascar<br />
(perfect for avid travellers!).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wonders of South America group<br />
at Machu Pichu<br />
New for 2018 is a ‘Croatia & Slovenia’ journey, which has a little taste of Venice and Mostar<br />
thrown in. <strong>The</strong>re is so much to savour – the karst caves of Postojna, the castles of Predjama and<br />
Bled, picturesque open-air markets, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historic churches, palaces<br />
and bridges as well as the spectacular Plitvice Lakes National Park. A highlight for many will<br />
be the small ship cruise along the Adriatic Coast, visiting some of the most beautiful Croatian<br />
Islands. Wine and food tasting along the way gives you a true glimpse of local life.<br />
In fact, food and wine is always a highlight of our travel, and we often include a farewell dinner<br />
at a ‘hidden gem’ favourite restaurant enjoyed only by those ‘in the know’.<br />
Most of all, I love the conviviality of travelling in, and hosting, a small group. <strong>The</strong>re’s always<br />
company if you want it, or time to do your own thing every now and then. And every person<br />
brings something to the mix. <strong>The</strong>re may be a keen photographer in the group, who you can<br />
follow to get the best shots, or a fashionista, who will call upon my haggling skills to buy<br />
jewellery or textiles in the markets.<br />

Taking care of our skin during the winter<br />
months is important to keep it looking<br />
good. Forward 50 asks Dermal <strong>The</strong>rapist &<br />
Micropigmentation specialist Pip McGregor<br />
of Making Faces NZ about combatting winter<br />
conditions and how to maintain that healthy<br />
glow throughout the year.<br />
We know winter can have<br />
adverse effects on our skin, so<br />
what are the main issues we have<br />
to deal with?<br />
New Zealand winters can wreak havoc<br />
on the skin, mainly due to the constant<br />
exposure to heat pumps and air-conditioning<br />
that dries the skin out. Also, the crisp, dry<br />
Skin care<br />
in the cooler<br />
months<br />
air and extremes in temperatures of going<br />
from a toasty house to a cold car are the<br />
perfect conditions for broken capillaries. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
combined with the fact that we don’t tend to<br />
drink as much water in winter and many of us<br />
bypass the sunscreen – all of these factors can<br />
lead to less than glowing skin in winter.<br />
How should we address those<br />
issues?<br />
While many of these issues are<br />
environmental there are definitely ways to<br />
combat dry, irritable winter skin. Try to keep<br />
temperatures moderate in your home and<br />
avoid long, hot showers. Drinking warm water<br />
with a squeeze of lemon is a great start to the<br />
day for your body and your skin will love you<br />

for it! A barrier cream is really important to<br />
prevent lipid depletion when you are outside<br />
in the elements, as is a good sunscreen –<br />
which is easy to forget in winter! Your skincare<br />
programme should be tailored to winter<br />
weather and if your skin still feels dry, see<br />
your skin specialist for some hydrating winter<br />
facials.<br />
Apart from seasonal factors,<br />
ageing also affects our skin,<br />
so what ongoing care, including<br />
factors like diet, would you<br />
recommend to keep our skin<br />
looking fresh and youthful for<br />
as long as possible?<br />
<strong>The</strong> skin is our largest organ – the healthier<br />
you are on the inside the nicer it will look<br />
on the outside. It is important to treat the<br />
skin holistically, so not only from the outside<br />
in but also from the inside out. A good<br />
vitamin C internal supplement is essential<br />
as the body cannot make collagen without<br />
adequate vitamin C. I also advise plenty of<br />
good fats in the diet and a good-quality omega<br />
supplement to prevent ageing. Combine these<br />
with a lowered sugar intake – sugar causes<br />
glycation (fine wrinkles) in the skin and excess<br />
consumption can cause premature ageing.<br />
Are there any particular types<br />
of skincare products for our face<br />
and body that will work best on<br />
an ongoing basis?<br />
From the science I have seen on the subject<br />
the best products available topically for<br />
ageing have either ascorbic acid or vitamin C,<br />
retinol or alpha hydroxy acids. It is important<br />
that they are used correctly so get some<br />
advice before self-medicating. <strong>The</strong>re are huge<br />
advancements in the skincare industry with<br />
stem cell therapy so watch this space… and<br />
never ever forget your sunscreen!<br />
Serums are now widely promoted<br />
as being a key factor in skincare.<br />
Do your recommend them and if<br />
so, what role do they play?<br />
Serums are important in a good skincare<br />
prescription, but again they must be used<br />
correctly. To increase the absorption of a<br />
serum you must have an adequately cleansed<br />
skin, and it is best to use serums at night<br />
when cell turnover and regeneration occur. A<br />
good serum is like a high-dose, concentrated<br />
supplement for your skin – it will enhance<br />
your routine but it won’t replace it.<br />
Advertisements for a range of<br />
different skincare products<br />
claim they will reduce wrinkles<br />
and restore elasticity – can they<br />
really do that?<br />
My advice is read the fine print. So many<br />
adverts for over-the-counter products for<br />
big corporates will make bold claims that I<br />
believe to be little more than clever marketing.<br />
<strong>The</strong>rapeutic brands you buy over the counter<br />
have very strict guidelines on the depth<br />
they are allowed to penetrate to in the skin<br />
– thereby not affecting the skin structure<br />
in the slightest. Note that companies say,<br />
“reduce the appearance” of wrinkles – not the<br />
actual wrinkle. Sometimes those horrifically<br />
expensive, beautifully packaged creams are<br />
little more than just beautiful bottles designed<br />
to smell and feel luxurious. I like to see the<br />
science behind a product rather than the<br />
packaging – find an expert who you trust<br />
because it can be a minefield of information<br />
out there!<br />
Is regular exfoliation important,<br />
and how often should it be done?<br />
I recommend a gentle enzyme exfoliant<br />
rather than a manual exfoliant (e.g. beads,<br />
husks, anything rough). Enzyme exfoliates<br />
slough away dead skin cells only – think of it<br />
like Pacman on the surface of the skin. While<br />
the rough exfoliates can feel good at the<br />
time and super smooth straight afterwards,<br />
they can cause microscopic abrasions on the<br />
skin, which will actually make it rougher the<br />
following day. Alpha hydroxy acids, papain,<br />
bromelain and vitamin C have enzymatic<br />
exfoliant properties that can be gentle enough<br />
to be used every day. This gives you a glow and<br />
also allows for greater penetration of serums<br />
and moisturisers.<br />
If there was one product or<br />
procedure that we should always<br />
use to maintain healthy, glowing<br />
skin, what would that be?<br />
For an anti-aging treatment, I can’t go past<br />
micro needling – the research and the results<br />
speak for themselves – combined with a good<br />
homecare system of course. <strong>The</strong>re is no point<br />
in spending money on facials, then to use<br />
poor-quality products at home. It’s what you<br />
do every day that really makes a difference to<br />
your skin. Oh, and sunscreen – your mum was<br />
right about sunscreen!<br />

Plenty of diversity for movie<br />
lovers at <strong>2017</strong> NZIFF<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch leg of the <strong>2017</strong> New<br />
Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF)<br />
runs from August 3-20, and once again there is<br />
a diverse selection for movie lovers to get their<br />
teeth into.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are plenty of international offerings to<br />
select from, but one with a strong local flavour<br />
is Human Traces. Filmed in the South Island over<br />
25 days, the film is written and directed by<br />
Christchurch-raised Nic Gorman, who was part<br />
of the Court <strong>The</strong>atre’s improv group in the city<br />
for eight years before moving to Wellington in<br />
2004.<br />
Human Traces stars Sophie Henderson<br />
and Mark Mitchinson as a husband-and-wife<br />
scientist team sent to rid a Subantarctic<br />
island of pests. When a mysterious young man<br />
(played by Vinnie Bennett, who attended Aranui<br />
High’s drama academy) arrives at the remote<br />
research station, secrets threaten the couple’s<br />
relationship in a hostile wilderness, 750km<br />
south of New Zealand. <strong>The</strong> film was shot in<br />
two South Island locations, Banks Peninsula and<br />
the Catlins.<br />
“I’ve long been fascinated by the dark history<br />
of Subantarctic islands,” Gorman says.<br />
“Our fictional location is loosely based<br />
on Campbell Island. I was researching its<br />
geography and the upper slopes of Campbell<br />
Island reminded me of Banks Peninsula with<br />
its tussock spurs, volcanic rocks and sharp<br />
outcrops. We amalgamated this location with<br />
the rugged and dramatic coastline of the<br />
Catlins to create our island on the screen.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> film’s cinematographer, John<br />
Chrisstoffels, has been teaching filmmaking<br />
at the University of Canterbury for about 25<br />
years. About half the crew is from Christchurch,<br />
including producer Nadia Maxwell and<br />
production designer Martin Gorzeman.<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Premiere will be held on the<br />
second night of the Festival on August 4 at the<br />
Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> festival line-up also includes eight New<br />
Zealand-made documentaries. New Zealand<br />
artists, artisans, extreme sportspeople and<br />
energetic adventurers will be celebrated on<br />
screen with highlights including Head Like a<br />
Hole receiving the biopic treatment in Swagger<br />
of Thieves, 40 years of gay history as told<br />
through personal interviews in 100 Men, and<br />

Sheila, in which his cousin, writer and illustrator<br />
Sheila Natusch, retraces a long life dedicated<br />
to sharing her understanding and love of New<br />
Zealand’s nature and history.<br />
<strong>The</strong> life story of this natural historian,<br />
illustrator and writer, now in her 90s, is a<br />
beautiful, truly Antipodean journey. Born in<br />
1926 on Rakiura (Stewart Island) to the Traill<br />
family, Sheila’s early childhood memories<br />
include a near-drowning at the hands of<br />
schoolmates – this and other life misfortunes<br />
she shrugs off casually. Growing up in the<br />
deep south led to an adventurous resilience,<br />
which saw her climb multiple mountains, cycle<br />
from Picton to Bluff and write dozens of<br />
groundbreaking natural history books, including<br />
her magnum opus, Animals of New Zealand.<br />
Produced by Christine Dann and featuring<br />
beautiful historic footage of the lower<br />
south in the 1930s and ’40s, this film offers<br />
fascinating glimpses into life as one of few<br />
female students at Otago University, and<br />
covers Sheila’s friendship with Janet Frame and<br />
their subsequent and unsuccessful foray into<br />
teaching.<br />
A move to Wellington in the ’50s saw Sheila<br />
and husband Gilbert Natusch take up residence<br />
in Owhiro Bay, while she had professional stints<br />
at the National Library and Correspondence<br />
School.<br />
Viewers will love this radiant, defiant and<br />
unconventional life story which ranges from<br />
the southern wilds to the rugged Wellington<br />
coastline, where Sheila still lived until very<br />
recently, without car, TV, lipstick or alcohol,<br />
planning to “get the last bit of fun out of life<br />
that there is”. - Jo Randerson<br />

BY ROSS KIDDIE<br />
If you’ve been thinking about buying a small,<br />
trendy hatchback but have been struggling to<br />
find one which has easy entry and egress then<br />
Hyundai has the car for you.<br />
As its nomenclature suggests the i20 Cross<br />
is based on the i20 hatchback, but it is a car<br />
that has had the suspension raised 20mm so<br />
that it sits taller from the road and makes<br />
getting in and out far from a chore.<br />
<strong>The</strong> i20 Cross also gets a lot of cosmetic<br />
enhancements, there’s a body kit, big wheels<br />
and roof rails, which make it stand a world<br />
apart from the cheeky wee hatchback it is<br />
based on. In fact, if you use your imagination<br />
you could also look at the i20 Cross and think<br />
that it was a downsized sport utility vehicle, it<br />
looks muscular.<br />
That’s a good marketing ploy by Hyundai.<br />
SUVs are the big movers in the market today<br />
and the i20 Cross certainly looks the part,<br />
yet it gets about its business with all of the<br />
functionality of the car it is based on.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a 1.4-litre, twincamshaft,<br />
16-valve engine. Hyundai rates<br />
it with a 7k4kW power output, along<br />
with 134Nm of torque. Consequently, it<br />
is no powerhouse, but it does get about<br />
its business, unflustered and in a smooth<br />
operating manner.<br />
It is also a fuel miser. When I picked the car<br />
up, it was a little low on fuel but the salesman<br />
said it was good for the distance, and even<br />
though I took it back almost empty I did<br />
cover enough kilometres to form a thorough<br />
evaluation.<br />
According to the manufacturers, the i20<br />
Cross gets a 6.7l/100km (42mpg) combined<br />
cycle average. During my three days with the<br />
car it was constantly listing around 8l/100km<br />
(35mpg) which was mostly recorded at<br />
highway speed, also returning a 6.2l/100km<br />
(45mpg) instantaneous figure at 100km/h, the<br />
engine turning over quite busy at <strong>27</strong>00rpm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latter figure is significant because the<br />
i20 Cross drives out through a four-speed<br />
automatic gearbox. Regular readers will relate<br />
to my many comments that the more gears<br />
you have, the smoother the transition of drive<br />
and the easier the engine operates.<br />
A recent photo<br />
of Sheila Natusch,<br />
now in her 90s<br />
Four-speed gearboxes are used only rarely<br />
these days and I’m surprised Hyundai hasn’t<br />
given the i20 one of those fabulous sixspeeders<br />
it has in other models. That aside,<br />
the engine is honest but there are times when<br />
as a driver you are wishing it would change<br />
down or up, but distance between gears<br />
doesn’t always suit the power outputs.<br />
Under acceleration, the wee 1.4-litre engine<br />
works hard to provide an 11sec standstill to<br />
100km/h time, along with a 8sec time to make<br />
120km/h from 80km/h.<br />
It must be remembered, though, that the<br />
i20 Cross isn’t designed to be a hard charger<br />
and for its role it is quiet and capable, and the<br />
engine is a delight, it enjoys working the entire<br />
rev band.<br />
I didn’t take the test car far, but I did put<br />
it through a couple of challenging corners<br />
and I can report it feels delightful through<br />
the steering and has control and balance not<br />
ordinarily expected to be in a car which is<br />
priced for the budget market ($29,990).<br />
<strong>The</strong> suspension is a mix of struts up<br />
front and a tube beam rear axle system. <strong>The</strong><br />
spring and damper rates are set a little on<br />
the firm side, not so much that the ride is<br />
compromised but the benefit is in the way<br />
it arrests body movement in a corner. Even<br />
though it sits tall, body movement is gentle,<br />
not awkward.<br />
Grip is supplied by high-quality Pirelli<br />
Cinturato tyres (205/45 x 17in) and, as<br />
mentioned, they are an inch bigger in<br />
diameter than the standard i20 and they<br />
contribute to the strong steering feel and<br />
sharp corner turn-in. I was quite delighted<br />
with the way the i20 Cross handles, it is quite<br />
purposeful.<br />
In terms of in-cabin detailing, Hyundai has<br />
certainly upped the ante in terms of quality<br />
plastic and trim elements. <strong>The</strong> switchgear is<br />
beautifully made and the appointment is firstclass.<br />
When I took the car back to the dealership<br />
I inquired about price, and even though<br />
almost $30k is on the ticket, there may be<br />
some movement from that through Hyundai<br />
New Zealand. That being the case it may<br />
tempt in more ways than one.

Smoked fish and broccoli pasta<br />
This is a tasty adaptation of a recipe used in Te Kohanga Reo O Ngaio in Wellington<br />
with great success. <strong>The</strong> children there love it. Grown-ups will love it too.<br />
INGREDIENTS<br />
2 tbsp canola oil<br />
2 tbsp white flour<br />
1½ cups low fat milk<br />
50g Edam cheese, grated<br />
250g dried pasta, farfalle or penne<br />
1 head broccoli florets<br />
1 tsp canola oil<br />
½ red onion, diced<br />
2 tbsp capers, drained, rinsed<br />
4 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
175g smoked fish, flaked<br />
2 tbsp lemon juice<br />
½ cup parsley, chopped<br />
DIRECTIONS<br />
Cheese sauce<br />
In a saucepan fry the flour with the first measure of canola oil until it begins to colour.<br />
Gradually add the milk, mixing thoroughly to disperse the lumps.<br />
When all the milk has been added bring to a gentle simmer and cook for a further 5 minutes.<br />
Remove from the heat and stir through the grated cheese.<br />
Set aside.<br />
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling unsalted water until al dente.<br />
Remove the pasta from the pot and set aside.<br />
Bring the water back to the boil and cook the broccoli until just cooked.<br />
While the pasta and broccoli are cooking prepare the smoked fish by flaking it.<br />
Gently sauté the onions and capers in the second measure of canola oil until translucent.<br />
Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.<br />
Remove from the heat and stir through the smoked fish, lemon juice and parsley.<br />
To finish the dish, gently stir together the pasta with the broccoli, white sauce and smoked fish<br />
mix.<br />

By Janice Bremer,<br />
Consulting Dietitian, Christchurch<br />
As you tidy up after your usual breakfast of<br />
porridge, you brush away the odd brown sugar<br />
crystal from your table napkin.<br />
“Nana I don’t want you to die!” declares<br />
granddaughter, who has stayed the night.<br />
“I am not dying”.<br />
“Yes you are, you ate sugar!”<br />
So what did granddaughter eat for breakfast?<br />
Well nothing. She went to the fridge for a glass<br />
of milk. Yours was “trim” for your high LDLcholesterol,<br />
kilos to lose, Dad dying of a heart<br />
attack and Mum having breaking bones. “That’s<br />
got too much sugar”, she says.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s no sugar added to milk!” you say. You<br />
show her the ingredient listing on the carton :<br />
“Ingredients: Fresh, low-fat milk”.<br />
No sugar there. She’s not convinced.<br />
Fussing over a gram of sugar<br />
Off to the internet with your little master<br />
mathematician you go. That trim milk proves<br />
to have 40 per cent fewer kilojoules (less<br />
fattening), 90 per cent less animal saturated<br />
fat (to lower LDL-cholesterol), 10 per cent<br />
more protein and 14 per cent more calcium<br />
(both needed for older health), than its full-fat<br />
counterpart. It had a mere extra 0.2 grams of<br />
natural milk sugar (lactose), no difference at all.<br />
On the label of your wholegrain bread, she also<br />
found one gram of sugar in a slice (to start the<br />
yeast) – a mere speck!<br />
A dash of sugar for flavour hurts no one.<br />
Foods oozing in added sugars – sweet bakery,<br />
desserts, sweets, sugary drinks and chocolate,<br />
are the sugary spoilers of top health eating.<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Health Organisation and American<br />
Heart Association say limit added sugars to less<br />
than two tablespoons (five to six teaspoons)<br />
of added sugar a day for healthy kids and<br />
adults, but Diabetes NZ halves this amount for<br />
diabetes, which is also right for weight control.<br />
Finding natural enough<br />
Next on granddaughter’s food patrol is your<br />
LDL-cholesterol-lowering margarine-spread.<br />
“Ooh”, she says, “that’s black coming out of<br />
the ground; it’s a bleached chemical-like plastic.”<br />
Another ingredient check finds – water,<br />
sunflower oil, canola oil, gelatin, salt, plant sterol,<br />
soy lecithin, milk powder, food acid, betacarotene<br />
(natural vitamin for colour) – it’s all<br />
food. Not a chemical name in sight. <strong>The</strong> plant<br />
sterol is for extra LDL-cholesterol lowering,<br />
the gelatin and soy lecithin contribute texture,<br />
the food acid protects it from spoiling, and the<br />
colour is natural vitamin. All grown by nature.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fats we really need for life and health,<br />
and especially heart health, are in highest<br />
concentrations in plant foods – liquid oils, nuts,<br />
seeds, avocado and liquid oil-based, margarinestyle<br />
spreads. We do not need separable animal<br />
fat (dairy cream, meat fat, chicken skin) because<br />
we make animal fat ourselves. Yet the lean and<br />
low fat parts of animal foods do carry nutrients<br />
we need. Fat has highest kilojoules per gram of<br />
all foods, and like added sugars, can be rapidly<br />
overeaten before our bodies signal that we<br />
are full. Animal fat and added sugar are logical<br />
targets for losing weight.<br />
Research shows that eating high intakes of<br />
animal fats together with low vegetable and fruit<br />
intakes are linked to heart attacks compared<br />
with eating plant oils in place of animal fat, with<br />
high amounts of fruit and vegetables with some<br />
wholegrains, dried beans, nuts and fish.<br />
Out-eating our pills<br />
Latest New Zealand stats reveal that 75 per<br />
cent of 45 to 75 year-olds are ‘overweight’,<br />
increasing our heart, diabetes and osteoarthritis<br />
risks, and driving us into inactivity.<br />
Numbers of us using LDL-cholesterollowering<br />
meds, blood pressure meds, or<br />
diagnosed type 2 diabetes or osteoarthritis,<br />
all double from the 45-54 years age group to<br />
the 55-64 age group. And that’s only counting<br />
those diagnosed. Despite half of us being on<br />
blood pressure meds by age 75, 30 per cent<br />
have high blood pressure by age 55-64 rising to<br />
over 40 per cent in the over 65s. Use of LDLcholesterol<br />
meds rises from 10 per cent in the<br />
age 45-54 years age group to more than 30 per<br />
cent by the 65-plus age group.<br />
<strong>The</strong> science of eating patterns is highly<br />
complicated. Matching all the research to<br />
someone’s personal set of health risks and<br />
nutrient needs, in terms of three meals a day,<br />
can be complex. If one little message sets you<br />
fretting over one gram of one ingredient in<br />
foods, it can start a roller coaster to tip your<br />
whole eating pattern on its head.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fine-tuning messages of eating for health<br />
risks come from the synthesis of millions of<br />
dollars of medical research around nutrients,<br />
food, and dietary patterns.<br />

NIGHTLIFE: <strong>The</strong> neon bling of Shinsekai strikes a contrast with the spectacular skyline of Osaka and the Imperial Hotel<br />
Mixture of history and escapism in Osaka<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
AS THE powerhouse of the<br />
Kansai region, Osaka struts its<br />
modern architecture, neondrenched<br />
nightlife and alluring<br />
street food with unabashed pride.<br />
<strong>The</strong> frenetic central city<br />
pleasure precinct of Dotonbori<br />
is primed for people watching, a<br />
head-spinning throng of shops,<br />
eateries and neon excess.<br />
<strong>The</strong> famous Glico billboard is<br />
Dotonbori’s essential photo-stop<br />
in the this canaI-side entertainment<br />
district. Brimming with<br />
pink salons, karaoke bars and<br />
pachinko parlours, I also strolled<br />
through the splendid Ebisubashi<br />
Shopping Arcade, a roofed<br />
shopping stretch bursting with<br />
kimonos, jewellery, cooking<br />
equipment, and fast food vendors.<br />
Don’t miss the centuries-old<br />
Hozenji Temple which features<br />
a statue completely covered in<br />
moss. <strong>The</strong> moss continues to<br />
thrive with the water that worshipers<br />
often pour over it.<br />
For pure sensory escapism, the<br />
neon bling of Shinsekai is worth a<br />
wander, in spite of its seedy overtones.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district was developed<br />
before the war as an entertainment<br />
zone, crowned by Tsutenkaku<br />
Tower, a nostalgic symbol<br />
and observation deck, inspired<br />
by the Eiffel Tower. <strong>The</strong> southern<br />
part of Shinsekai was modelled<br />
on New York’s Coney Island.<br />
A venerable Shinsekai snack is<br />
kushikatsu, which is composed<br />
of various skewered, battered and<br />
deep fried foods. Varieties on offer<br />
range from chicken and beef,<br />
to pumpkin and asparagus, to<br />
the banana and ice cream dessert<br />
varieties.<br />
Many of Shinsekai’s kushikatsu<br />
restaurants are open 24 hours,<br />
but only truly burst into life after<br />
dark.<br />
Osaka is home to a quirky little<br />
museum that traces the history of<br />
instant ramen, a national craze,<br />
which Japanese citizens once<br />
voted as their country’s greatest<br />
invention of the 20th-century.<br />
You’ll find a sprawling exhibit<br />
of instant noodles, the riveting<br />
tale behind the first cup of instant<br />
ramen ever created in 1958, an instant<br />
noodle “tunnel”, and a shed<br />
dedicated to the birth of chicken<br />
ramen.<br />
If you need a breather from all<br />
the bling and vertical concrete<br />
boxes, the expansive verdant<br />
embrace of Osaka Castle Park is a<br />
detox delight.<br />
It’s a gold-rated attraction in<br />
spring, given its home to 1200<br />
plum trees and 600 cherry trees.<br />
Strolling through this immaculately<br />
maintained park, clad with<br />
artful statues and shady canopies,<br />
the starring centrepiece is the<br />
historic castle.<br />
Construction started in 1583 as<br />
a display of power by Toyotomi<br />
Hideyoshi, after he achieved his<br />
mission of unifying Japan.<br />
One hundred thousand workers<br />
slogged their guts out building<br />
this “impregnable” granite showpiece,<br />
which was subsequently<br />
destroyed three decades later by<br />
an invading army.<br />
It was subsequently rebuilt only<br />
to fall into disrepair, before being<br />
fully reconstructed in 1931. It<br />
miraculously survived the<br />
city-wide air raids during World<br />
War 2.<br />
Swathed in moats, stone walls,<br />
trees and gardens, it’s soothingly<br />
photogenic. I wandered down to<br />
the castle, on the riverside walkway<br />
from the glamorous Imperial<br />
Hotel Osaka.<br />
Gracing the Okawa River,<br />
this shiny, lofty hotel serves up<br />
spectacular skyline views and is<br />
fiendishly popular during cherry<br />
blossom season.<br />
I stayed in one of the deluxe<br />
Imperial Floor rooms with a<br />
dreamy view to lull me to sleep.<br />
Kimono-clad female attendants<br />
are present on each floor, to assist<br />
with any request.<br />
Guestrooms are decorated in<br />
a regal, elegant style with high<br />
ceilings, plush bedding, automatic<br />
curtains and intuitive light<br />
switches. High-tech robot toilets,<br />
deep bathtubs and fluffy bathrobes<br />
headline the commitment<br />
to pampered comfort.<br />
Foodies are spoiled for choice<br />
six different dining venues.<br />
Breakfast buffet and westernstyle<br />
favourites are served at the<br />
casual, convivial Flying Tomato<br />
Cafe, while Jasmine Cafe and<br />
Les Saisons serve high quality<br />
Chinese and French cuisine,<br />
respectively.<br />
Get your fill of authentic teppanyaki<br />
and melt-in-your-mouth<br />
Japanese beef at Kamon, Tokyostyle<br />
sushi made from the freshest<br />
ingredients at Kyubey or Japanese<br />
fine dining at the legendary<br />
Osaka Nadaman, which has 180<br />
years of culinary excellence under<br />
its belt.<br />
It’s easy to see why the Imperial<br />
Hotel is consistently rated one of<br />
Osaka’s best hotels. With its restful<br />
riverside location, luxurious<br />
rooms, gracious staff and ultraattentive<br />
service, you can’t go<br />
wrong. www.imperialhotel.co.jp<br />

Lexus sports car launched<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
AN EXCITING new<br />
flagship model has been<br />
launched by Lexus New<br />
Zealand.<br />
<strong>The</strong> LC 500 coupe is described<br />
as a luxury car that<br />
combines daring design<br />
with leading edge engineering<br />
and technology<br />
to emulate that of a classic<br />
grand tourer.<br />
It arrives in New Zealand<br />
in two variations. <strong>The</strong>re is a<br />
5-litre, naturally-aspirated<br />
V8 model and a 3.5-litre V6<br />
coupled to an electric hybrid<br />
system. Both glass roof<br />
models list at $215,000 with<br />
a carbon fibre roof structure<br />
adding an extra $5000<br />
as an option. Prices include<br />
a four-year maintenance<br />
and service contract.<br />
<strong>The</strong> V8 is a development<br />
of the engine used<br />
in the Lexus RC F and GS<br />
F, it is rated with a 351kW<br />
output along with 540Nm<br />
of torque. <strong>The</strong> hybrid<br />
system is rated at 264kW<br />
and 348Nm. Both models<br />
drive through a 10-speed<br />
automatic transmission.<br />
“Lexus has once again<br />
demonstrated it has the<br />
confidence to produce<br />
brave uncompromised options<br />
that are different from<br />
the conventional designs<br />
being adopted by competitors,’’<br />
said Paul Carroll,<br />
senior general manager for<br />
Lexus New Zealand.<br />
Sitting on 21in alloy<br />
wheels, the LC is a 2+2<br />
luxury coupe focused on<br />
open road driving. Its handling,<br />
responsiveness and<br />
comfort have been finely<br />
tuned to deliver exhilarating<br />
performance.<br />
Initial driving impressions<br />
on Central Otago<br />
roads were favourable. Both<br />
the V8 and hybrid variants<br />
proved they have true<br />
grand touring performance<br />
with solid engine outputs<br />
and swift acceleration. A<br />
standstill to 100km/h time<br />
of around 5sec could be<br />
expected from the V8. <strong>The</strong><br />
handling of both is direct<br />
and decisive, the feeling of<br />
balance, grip and control<br />
GRAND<br />
TOURER:<br />
<strong>The</strong> LC500<br />
is available<br />
in V8 or<br />
V6 hybrid<br />
form.<br />
has been an engineering<br />
priority.<br />
Both models exude characteristic<br />
engine sound, the<br />
V8 is throaty and will roar<br />
through the exhausts, the<br />
V6 hybrid has its own individual<br />
howl which encourages<br />
keen performance.<br />
“While we offer a hybrid<br />
model, which is synonymous<br />
with efficiency, we<br />
are not shying away from<br />
performance there either,’’<br />
Mr Carroll said. “Drivers<br />
will be surprised at the<br />
power and driving feel of<br />
the hybrid.’’<br />
Lexus Safety System+<br />
is fitted to both models<br />
and includes a pre-crash<br />
system with autonomous<br />
emergency braking, allspeed<br />
dynamic radar cruise<br />
control, lane keeping assist<br />
and lane depart alert.<br />

Keeping the faith – will the Warriors finish third or last<br />
• By Cameron McMillan<br />
IT’S THAT time again for the<br />
tradition of working out if the<br />
Warriors can make the play-offs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> side hasn’t made the NRL<br />
play-offs since 2011, the second<br />
longest drought in the NRL.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y currently sit six points<br />
outside of the top eight following<br />
Saturday’s defeat to the Cowboys.<br />
With starting halfback Shaun<br />
Johnson ruled out for at least<br />
a large chunk of the remaining<br />
six games, it seems unlikely<br />
the Warriors, currently with<br />
seven wins and 11 defeats, will<br />
be playing play-off football this<br />
season.<br />
About 28 points has often been<br />
regarded as the marker to reach<br />
the NRL play-offs – it’s been that<br />
case for the last eight seasons –<br />
but it seems that number will<br />
be possibly two or four points<br />
higher this year.<br />
All the Warriors have to do is<br />
win their remaining six games<br />
against the Sharks, Knights,<br />
Raiders, Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles<br />
and Tigers, which would get<br />
them to 30 points.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Knights, Tigers and<br />
Rabbitohs also need to win a lot<br />
of their remaining games while<br />
the Sharks and Broncos have to<br />
each win one of their last six.<br />
Nine teams could finish on 30<br />
points from third place to 11th<br />
– with some big wins for the<br />
Warriors getting them into third<br />
on points difference and playing<br />
away to the Roosters in the first<br />
week of the play-offs. Simple<br />
maths.<br />
Now the other side of the coin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warriors could finish as<br />
low as 16th – which is last – if<br />
they lose their remaining games<br />
and Newcastle run up the table.<br />
Yes, it’s equally unlikely, but the<br />
Warriors are still a chance to get<br />
the wooden spoon. <strong>The</strong>re is a<br />
‘mathematical chance,’ which<br />
is a term you often hear with<br />
the Warriors in late <strong>July</strong> and<br />
August.<br />
What’s more likely to happen<br />
is the Warriors win three of their<br />
last six and finish on 24 points.<br />
That will put them in 11th spot<br />
and a sixth straight year without<br />
going beyond round 26.<br />
Predicted top eight<br />
1. Storm<br />
2. Roosters<br />
3. Broncos<br />
4. Sharks<br />
5. Cowboys<br />
6. Eels<br />
7. Dragons<br />
8. Sea Eagles<br />

“We’ve got a few guys that have<br />
actually gone on from university<br />
and are now working but still<br />
playing for us.”<br />
Lincoln University will be led<br />
by captain Nick Werahiko, who<br />
recently became the club’s first<br />
player to bring up 100 caps.<br />
Although the team has been<br />
successful in recent times, the<br />
trend has been for Crusaders<br />
Academy players to use it as a<br />
stepping stone to provincial and<br />
Super Rugby.<br />
Lincoln University have suffered<br />
just one loss in the top six<br />
competition. However, that came<br />
at the hands of University.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve got some real<br />
firepower with the like of Jone<br />
Macilai and Brad Hemopo and a<br />
lot of that team has been together<br />
for a while,” said Blair.<br />
“A few would say they’ve snuck<br />
up on the likes of Sydenham and<br />
Christchurch and ourselves, but<br />
they’re playing some great footy<br />
at the right time of the year.”<br />

Lincoln University have always<br />
featured exciting backlines, usually<br />
featuring players who have<br />
gone on to Super Rugby. This<br />
year is no different with the likes<br />
of Brett Cameron, Eri Enari,<br />
Ngane Punivai, Jack Stratton,<br />
Josh McKay and Nick Lake leading<br />
the charge.<br />
In previous years, opposition<br />
sides may have looked at Lincoln<br />
University’s forward pack as<br />
their only weakness. However, it<br />
doesn’t seem to be case this<br />
year.<br />
“When you look at it, we have<br />
got some experienced guys there<br />
now. We did a good job on a<br />
pretty experienced Christchurch<br />
pack, so we know we can play<br />
X-FACTOR:<br />

Ngane<br />
Punivai will<br />
be one of the<br />
few Lincoln<br />
University<br />
players to get<br />
his first taste<br />
of a metro<br />
grand-final<br />
rugby on<br />
Sunday. <br />
both ways if we need to,” said<br />
Blair. As for what kind of match<br />
will unfold on Sunday, Blair<br />
is confident the crowd will be<br />
shown an exciting brand of<br />
rugby.<br />
“I think we’re quite similar in<br />
a lot of respects, we both like to<br />
play with the ball in hand,” said<br />
Blair.<br />

students to get excited, especially<br />
when it’s a battle of universities,”<br />
said Tauamiti.<br />
“We’re hoping lots of<br />

the numbers 1-6, and<br />
the numbers can’t be<br />

But it’s sudoku with a<br />
twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />
each heavily outlined<br />
set of squares, called<br />
cages, must produce the<br />
number in the top corner.<br />
For example, 5+ means<br />
the numbers add up to 5,<br />
9x means the numbers<br />
multiply to equal 9.<br />
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />
same line or row.<br />

History favours the Crusaders in semi-final<br />
• By Cameron McMillan<br />
THE CRUSADERS certainly<br />
have history on their side going<br />
into this weekend’s Super Rugby<br />
semi-final clash.<br />
As seven-time champions,<br />
they have an impressive 11<br />
semi-final victories in their<br />
history going into Saturday’s<br />
clash at home against the Chiefs.<br />
That’s the most of any Super<br />
Rugby franchise. Nine of those<br />
knockout victories took place<br />

in Christchurch.<br />
Something the Chiefs can take<br />
into Saturday’s clash is that two<br />
of the Crusaders five semi-final<br />
defeats have been at the hands<br />
of the Chiefs – 2012 and 2013<br />
in Hamilton. However, neither<br />
the Chiefs or Hurricanes have<br />
ever won an away semi-final. <strong>The</strong><br />
Lions achieved their first ever<br />

<strong>The</strong> most damning statistic<br />
ahead of this week’s games is<br />
home advantage in the semifinals.<br />
Of the 42 Super Rugby<br />

just eight have been won by the<br />

Selling your property?<br />
First impressions count,<br />
get rid of the clutter.<br />
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter<br />
is one of the keys to selling property fast and at a good price. Good storage<br />
systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter.<br />
Good storage ideas are abundant and all<br />
manner of products are available to make<br />
homes more minimalistic. While it’s nice to buy<br />
your storage from designer homewares stores,<br />
the likes of <strong>The</strong> Warehouse and Kmart sell many<br />
simple products for masking clutter. Fabric<br />
storage cubes are a great start for disguising<br />
the clutter. <strong>The</strong>y fit neatly into shelves and<br />
wardrobes and thanks to competition from the<br />
big department stores, can cost $10 or less<br />
each. You’ll also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven<br />
and metal baskets for a song.<br />
Another clever idea, is to buy a cheap set of<br />
melamine shelves for use in your wardrobe. A<br />
set of shelves does much the same job as an<br />
expensive wardrobe fit out. You can move the<br />
shelf heights to accommodate shoes and boots.<br />
It looks good, but costs little.<br />
Another wardrobe organisation is a Wardrobe<br />
<strong>Star</strong>ter Kit from Hardware stores. While you’re<br />
there, check out bicycle storage hooks as well.<br />
As well as being practical, storage products<br />
can make a design statement. <strong>The</strong> important<br />
thing is to be consistent. don’t, for example,<br />
buy storage cubes in different colours. If you’re<br />
looking for really clever home storage ideas<br />
take a tip from the tiny home movement.<br />
Catherine Foster who wrote Small House Living,<br />
downsized her life to under 90sq m and has<br />
interviewed Kiwis who live in architecturally<br />
designed homes of that size or smaller.<br />
Each and every house in Foster’s book uses<br />
storage effectively to tame their belongings.<br />
Some have done it on the smell of an oily rag,<br />
sometimes buying pre-cut heavy duty plywood<br />
that only has to be screwed together, she says.<br />
Garages and lofts are house vendors’ friends.<br />
<strong>The</strong> garage is one of the few places in the house<br />
that buyers won’t be put off by a little extra<br />
stuff, but the more that can be hidden away in<br />
stacked crates the better. Consider using flat<br />
pack cupboards that can be taken with you.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> most effective way of using these is to<br />
find a wall where the whole area can be covered<br />
floor to ceiling,”<br />
“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level if you’re<br />
handy, or get a handyman in for a few hours, but<br />
make sure it is excluded from the list of chattels<br />
on the sale agreement.”<br />
Loft spaces are often wasted space in Kiwi<br />
homes. A relatively cheap way to open up<br />
the space is to install a loft ladder. You will be<br />
amazed at what people use the additional<br />
storage space for, once they’ve installed it.<br />
Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just limited<br />
to the interior of the house, garage and loft. <strong>The</strong><br />
Warehouse, Mitre 10 & other hardware stores<br />
sell garden storage to hide away things usually<br />
left outside.<br />
Foldable garden storage boxes that cost<br />
from around $99 can be used to store garden<br />
tools, outdoor cushions and pool paraphernalia.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next step up is a cheap garden shed for<br />
around $200 upwards from Mitre 10, Bunnings<br />
Warehouse and other stores.<br />
Finally, if you’re looking for more inspiration<br />
Google “storage ideas”, search the same on<br />
Pinterest, or check out books on the subject<br />
from your local library. You’ll be amazed at how<br />
many everyday items can be repurposed for<br />
storage at the same time as adding design<br />
excellence to your home.<br />
