BP does the good thing
Trees will cover up
eyesore; stop glare
FINALLY a good result for the
little guy in society.
After a campaign by Nor’West
News and The Star and intervention
from Mayor Lianne Dalziel,
BP has planted trees to minimise
the eyesore it has left St Albans
resident Kazu Kano
and his family with.
Mr Kano (left) now
has an almost 5mhigh,
20m-long back
end of the new BP
Edgeware shop along his boundary,
badly reflecting light off the
walls onto his windows, as well
as towering over his backyard.
Residents had opposed the BP
expansion.
But resource consent was
granted on the basis that the
impact on residents would be
minimal – how that could have
been determined beggars belief.
The residents who opposed
the application had no chance of
winning. They were completely
overpowered by BP’s suite of
experts and lawyers.
The residents didn’t have that
kind of a war chest to hire experts
to fight an even battle.
And, when BP initially said it
would only comply with landscaping
as per the resource consent,
that was another big blow.
But now the oil giant has
changed its tune, and today we
show readers the outcome – see
photos on the page.
Last week, 3.5m magnolia
grandiflora Blanchards were
planted. They will grow to twice
that size.
They are mixed with
pittosporum tenuifolium, which
will be maintained at 3.5m in
height.
Mr Kano is thrilled.
“You moved mountains.
Thank you very much for your
sympathy,” Mr Kano said of
Nor’West News and The Star.
He was also grateful to Ms
Dalziel for her intervention.
Said Star Media (publisher
of Nor’West News and The
Star) editor in chief Barry
Clarke: “This has been a good
outcome. But the problem could
have been avoided with some
commonsense.
“BP deserves credit for
changing its stance, and also
Lianne Dalziel for taking up the
issue when others didn’t.
“It also shows that the resource
consent process needs to be
addressed so society’s little guys
like Mr Kano and the other
residents at least have an equal
chance of stating their cases.”
RELIEF: The trees that will eventually cover the back end of the Edgeware BP shop which runs
along Kazu Kano’s boundary. Below: What they look like from his side, and right, the new BP
shop.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK News................................3, 5, 9
GREAT NEWS for Kazu Kano
and his family today (see page 1).
BP has planted shrubs and trees
that should negate the glare and
eyesore he would have been left
with as the result of the oil giant’s
Edgeware expansion.
Nor’West News and The Star
have fought hard to get a good
outcome for the Kanos.
So it’s been very gratifying the
family has some good news. But
as I say on our front page today
commonsense should have prevailed
in the first place.
I suspect someone up the BP
ladder had to make a call or continue
to face the adverse publicity
they were deservedly getting.
So while it took a while, a
bouquet for BP for finally seeing
sense.
Why they were granted resource
consent in the first place is
another matter all together.

Sex worker fix long way off
• By Andrew King
THE PROBLEM of sex workers
in a St Albans neighbourhood
may not be solved for some
time.
Residents, police and city
council staff met last month
to discuss what can be done
to move prostitutes off the
residential end of Manchester St
to a more appropriate spot away
from homes.
Two security cameras were
installed by the city council in
July on the corner of Purchas
and Manchester Sts to deter
customers and document
antisocial behaviour.
However, residents say they
have failed, as more often than
not there is a sex worker on
every corner under the cameras’
watch.
City council head of strategic
policy Helen Beaumont said it
will consider what amendments
can be made to the Public
Places Bylaw – including the
possibility of controlling streetbased
sex workers.
A review is scheduled for next
year.
She said amendments had
been considered in the past.
“The concern here is around
establishing a legally valid bylaw
FAILURE: Two city council-installed cameras have failed to deter sex workers in a residential
area. (Inset) More often than not they stand under the cameras while waiting for customers. ​
clause that would withstand
appeal and enable effective
enforcement,” she said.
Resident Matt Bonis said it
was time the police and city
council acknowledged the
problem and started to do
something about it.
“We [the residents] have been
terrified about the situation for
more than five years, but that
is now starting to lift with this
progress,” he said.
Solicitor and Labour
candidate for Christchurch
Central, Duncan Webb, was
hired by Mr Bonis to represent
the residents.
“He has helped us cut through
some of the red tape and get our
point across,” Mr Bonis said.
Papanui-Innes Community
Board chairwoman Ali Jones
has been working with the
city council and residents for
a number of years to find a
solution to the issue and said it
was fantastic news to hear there
could be progress.
“The big question now is why
it has taken so long to come to
this solution. That is what I will
be asking,” she said.
HAVE YOUR SAY: Should
sex workers be allowed to
operate in residential areas?

SHOPPING SPREE WINNERS
The winners of Shop Scan & Win
will each receive a $1000 shopping
spree at participating retailers.
The winners are: Marlene
Dobson, who shopped at Pataka,
Gordon Milne (Quick Stop
Liquor) and Ben Cloake (Sushi

CYCLEWAY APPROVED
The Northern Line Cycleway was
approved by the major cycleway
routes committee last week so
construction can start next year.
The decision follows community
feedback on the routes. It is one
of 13 major cycleways to be built
over the next seven years. Construction
is already under way on
Papanui Parallel.
NO-PASSING LINES
Traffic issues on Blighs Rd are
being looked at by the Papanui-
Innes Community Board, which
resolved to paint a no-passing
line from 181 Blighs Rd to the
intersection with Papanui Rd. It
has also asked for a video audit of
the road approaching Papanui Rd
before Christmas and in February
when schools’ return. Residents
have complained in the past to
the board about the build up of
traffic and vehicles crossing the
centre line to avoid other vehicles
turning left onto Papanui Rd.

Caring for TurTles
Foot injury needing veterinary attention.
Turtle Facts:
Turtles are not your average pets. They
are fascinating creatures that aren’t
particularly complicated to care for as
long as you invest a little time and have
the right equipment, you can enjoy them
for a possible 25 to 40 years!
Pet turtles in NZ are usually red-eared
sliders or snake necks. Turtles are cold
blooded so regulate their temperature
from their environment, moving between
sunning area and the layers of warm and
cool water.
Turtles have hard shells made up of
around 60 bones covered by plates called
scutes. Scutes are shed once or twice
a year and can be easily scratched by
minor trauma or softened by prolonged
immersion in warm water. When they
bask in the sun, their scutes dry and firm
back up.
The shell is part of its skeleton which is
attached to the spine and the rib cage
so they can’t crawl out of it. They can feel
pressure and pain through their shells,
just as you can feel pressure through your
fingernails.
Enviroment
Turtles can grow to be 13-28cm in
length so they will need a relatively large
enclosure. An outdoor enclosure is the
best place for your turtles – one with
water to swim, rocks to sunbathe on and
some shelter under which to keep cool.
If you are going to keep your turtle in an
aquarium, it is very important to keep
it clean. Turtles are messy eaters so the
water needs to be changed regularly &
good filter is essential.
Plenty of natural light is good, but they
also need special UV bulbs and a
heat lamp. A full spectrum UVA/
UVB reptile light is necessary for
the production of calcium and
maintenance of the hardness of
their shells. The ideal temperature
in an aquarium should be carefully
monitored and in the correct range.
Gravel is not necessary, and very
small gravel can be ingested by your
turtle and this can cause blockage
problems. Use stones that are large
enough not to be swallowed or river
rocks.

Diet
A healthy, balanced diet for turtles consists
of a wide variety of foods, from snails to
alfalfa. Red-eared turtles are omnivores,
eating mostly meat when young and
becoming vegetarian as they age and
need less protein. Juveniles turtles (up to
1yr old) should be fed twice a day and
adults every second day. They can only
feed in water.
Turtles like to eat worms, snails, insects,
fish and boiled chicken. The plants they
prefer include most varieties found in
tropical fish tanks, plus lettuce, cabbage,
alfalfa, and berries. Turtle food bought
from a pet shop contains essential
vitamins and minerals including calcium,
which is needed for the development of
the shell. A poor diet results in a soft shell
and a lethargic pet.
Do not feed - Red meat or processed
meat. Cat or dog food, avocado, spinach,
silverbeet, peas, corn, cauliflower,
cabbage, broccoli, fruits, raw chicken,
rhubarb, beetroot, tomato, celery
Turtle Problems
If your Turtle has the correct diet and
environment it is unlikely to get ill or have
problems but there are a few things to
look out for.
These include: Soft shell syndrome
(Metabolic Bone Disease): a result of poor
diet and/or insufficient lighting. Fungal
infections: a cotton-like layer on the shell,
eyes or mouth. Respiratory infections:
Wheezing, lethargy, a runny nose and loss
of appetite, all due to an environment that
is too cold.
If you see any of these symptoms in your
pet, make sure you take them to us for
assessment and treatment.
I really enjoy looking after the turtles that
come through our vet clinic. They are
beautiful, amazing and resilient creatures.
There is never a dull moment at work and
you never know what creatures we will
treat next!

about not losing sight
of what Christmas
really means
For most of us Christmas
is a time of great
happiness.
Children are excited
as they receive gifts and
we use the time to get together
as families and with
friends to celebrate.
For some people, this
time of year also has great
religious significance as we
recall the birth of Jesus.
Whatever our belief, it is
a time to get together with
those we love and enjoy
ourselves.
Not everyone has good
reason to celebrate.
For some people, Christmas
reminds them of happier
days long gone.
Days when, for example,
they were not fighting addiction,
had not suffered
loss and separation and
were not unemployed and

Christmas can be a time
of great loneliness if there
has been death or family
separation.
Many old people are
forgotten in the busy

Christmas can also be a
time of over spending.
We all want to give as
much as we can to our
children and to those we
love.
We are often seduced by
advertising and easy credit
into buying goods that we
cannot afford and we are
then in debt for much of

Christmas, maybe we
should cut back our spending
to what we can afford.
Homemade gifts or offers
to help out during the
year are just as acceptable
as expensive presents and
still tell people we love
them.
Remembering the lonely
and being aware of the
need to include them in
our celebrations and giving
people our time may
be the very best gift. And,
if it is safe to do so, then
Christmas may be the time
for family reconciliation.
Even if Christmas has no

we can still give love – the

Liquor store opposition grows
Petition
launched to
stop licence
application
• By Andrew King
CAMPAIGNERS against the
proposed Trafford St liquor
store want their strategy to be
a blueprint for stopping other
booze outlets across the city.
Samarth Rajeshkumar
Limbachiya has applied for a
liquor licence in the Harewood
street, which has been met
with big opposition from
residents and community board
members.
More than 1100 people have
signed a petition to stop the
liquor store.
Petition co-organiser Bruce
Tulloch said he believed the
community response would be
the same in other residential
areas.
“It will not just be our
neighbourhood that doesn’t
want another liquor store,” Mr
Tulloch said.

TAKING A STAND: Bruce Tulloch (left) and Colin Fussell say their community is the same as
many others throughout the city and adding alcohol into the mix is a bad idea.

Harewood Community Board
member Linda Chen will attend
the licence hearing, thought to
be scheduled for late January,
to represent the community’s
view.
“The residents approached
me to help and I stuck my hand
up when the board wanted a
representative,” she said.
Mrs Chen, who lives in the
area, said it was great to see a
community standing up for
what it wants.
“It’s not about who is right
and who is wrong, it is about
what is best for the community,”
she said.
Mr Tulloch said the location
was unsuitable and would
attract an unwanted element.
He said there were plenty of
options around for buying
alcohol.
“They are making a profit
from public harm and it has to
stop,” he said.
Colin Fussell has lived in the
area for more than 30 years and
is no stranger to getting behind
a community cause.
He collected more than
12,000 signatures himself in the
mid-1950s to stop the level of
Lake Manapouri in Fiordland
National Park from rising for
power generation.
“You have to be brave to
stick your neck out . . . but it is
important to set a precedent
and reduce antisocial behaviour
in residential areas,” he said.
City council regulatory
compliance head Tracey Weston
said, so far, 38 public objections
had been submitted, as well as
the petition against the licence
application.
New site for
toy library
• By Andrew King
MORE SPACE, a front lawn and
cows nearby to entertain the
children – Papanui Toy Library
believes it has relocated to an almost
perfect spot.
The well-used library was facing
a bleak future after news that its
premises at 472 Cranford St was to
be demolished by the end of the year
due to earthquake damage.
But it has now moved into its new
home at 185 Cavendish Rd, a place
which ticks nearly all the boxes, according
to secretary Natalie Sisson.
“It is almost the perfect place. (It)
could be a bit bigger – with the 1000
plus toys we have, we need a lot of
room,” she said.
Even with the move, Ms Sisson
said people are still coming through
the door and remarking about how
lucky they are.
“There is a big grass area out the
front, some cows that the kids love
and diggers over the fence. [The
children] love it,” she said.
The service is used by about 100
members and has been in operation
since 1993. It is open to parents
Wednesday evening and Saturday
morning. The library is planning
an open day on February 25 to let
people know they have moved into
the neighbourhood.

Tasman Gillies
Environmentalist follows in the
Tasman Gillies, 27 of Ngāi Tahu (Ngāti Wheke), is a third
generation tāngata tiaki and guardian of Lyttelton Harbour.
Annabelle Dick talked to him about his work and how he
almost followed a completely different career path
You work for Ngāi Tahu, can
you tell me about what you do?
I’m an environmental advisor
– mahinga kai monitoring and
enhancement for Ngāi Tahu.
You’re also tāngata tiaki –
what does that mean and what
do you do in that role?
Tāngata tiaki are guardians
responsible for managing fisheries
resources. In regards to
my role as tāngata tiaki, it’s an
ongoing thing. It’s the legislative
side so it’s a ministerial appointment.
Effectively we manage
the mātaitai (an identified
traditional fishing ground with
special status) and issue customary
fishing permits for the ngāti
wheke area. In the harbour, ngāti
wheke is a representative on the
Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Catchment
Management Plan so I’m
the science advisor for that.
You’re a third generation
tāngata tiaki, can you tell me
about your family and their
involvement?
My pōua was involved in
the establishment of the first
mataitai reserve at Rapaki. The
whole purpose is a recognition
of rangatiratanga and the
relationship with the traditional
fishing grounds and customary
fishing management within the
mataitai. They were made the
first ever tāngata tiaki.
Did having the family connection
prompt you to follow it
as a career?
It definitely influenced it, but I
didn’t go to university intending
to study it or come out involved
in this area. My Dad’s a GP so
I went down to study medicine
and in the first year I knew it
wasn’t for me. I’m not sure if I
would’ve got into my second
year, but regardless, I didn’t want
to do it. Funnily enough, I told
my dad and he laughed and said
“good, because I didn’t think
you wanted to do it, but I didn’t
want to influence your decision.”
I laugh at that because I could’ve
saved myself a year but, at the
same time, I had to realise it.
I changed course and ended
up gravitating towards marine
LEGACY: Tasman Gillies is continuing his family legacy as a
third generation tangata tiaki.

science and work associated with
mahinga kai.
Did you learn a lot about your
family in the process?
Yes. You start to run into
people that used to know my
pōua and talk to them. The
people I work with now at Ngāi
Tahu worked with him when
he was alive and, being an iwi,
some of them are related to him
as well so you hear stories. You
definitely learn the technical
things like dates and specific
legislative parts and what
mātaitai is and taiapure.
Considering the involvement
your pōua had, do you feel any
pressure to live up to his name?
Not at all – if anything it’s
more understanding about what
he wanted. The process that him
and Henry Couch were involved
with, and what they did to get
the mātaitai in place, it was a
lengthy process. For me, it’s
about understanding what he
wanted to achieve because Ngāi
Tahu always uses the saying
“Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri, ā muri
ake ne,” which means “for us
and our children after us.” It’s a
pretty straightforward concept.
Knowing my pōua was involved
in that whole process, and being
third generation tāngata tiaki, it’s
quite a literal thing for me. In his
mind, he wanted to sustain the
fisheries and have management
over it so our generation could
too. It comes back to the concept
of kaitiakitanga, or kaitiaki,
which means guardianship
or stewardship over the
environment. Ngāti Wheke
is my hapu, so that’s Rāpaki.
Our area is Lyttelton Harbour
or Whakaraupo and because
I whakapapa back to there,
kaitiaki or guardianship is also
a responsibility – so our world
view is we have a responsibility
to take care of it as well.

footsteps of his ancestors
HOME: Tasman Gillies is at home in the harbour.
Being tāngata tiaki is not so
much about continuing his
legacy – it’s more what I should
be doing anyway. The kaitiaki
concept isn’t exclusive to Maori,
I think people should have a responsibility
towards the environment
and take care of it because
we’re being trusted to take care
of it while we’re here for future
generations.
Did you grow up at Rāpaki?
We moved to Rāpaki when I
was nine. I was born in Australia
and lived in a little town called
Alstonville near Byron Bay. Both
of my parents are Kiwi and I
have two older sisters. We kind
of grew up in the bush – we
lived in a big valley and the next
neighbour was a kilometre away
so we had all the room to play
around but we had to be careful
because it was Aussie. We knew
we were Maori but, in Australia,
we were absent from the culture
in a sense. When I moved here, it
was a big learning curve. I think
that was why our parents wanted
us to move back to see those
things.
What does your family do?
My mum and dad still live
in Rāpaki – he’s a doctor. My
sister works for the Ministry of
Education, but she was previously
a Maori teacher at Lincoln
High School. My other sister is a
dentist in Masterton.
What was it like moving to
Rāpaki?
It was a shock initially. You
can know you’re Maori but then
someone goes “oh you’re Maori,
do you want to be in the Kapa
Haka group?” I didn’t even know
what that was. People look at
you funny because they know
things about your culture that
you don’t. But in saying that, my
sister became a Maori teacher.
It’s been a massive learning
curve but also a really good one.
It’s more than the acknowledgement
I’m Maori now. Now I’m
part of it.
Where did you go to school?
I went to Lyttelton West then
Cashmere High School.
I heard you were head boy,
too? You kept that one quiet.
Yeah I was . . . that was a laugh.
Do you have any hidden
talents?
I won the dance competition
at the work Christmas function
out of like 300 people. I don’t
know what kind of dancing I
was doing and when and where I
picked it up . . . I just free-styled.
I think I picked it up from those
Step Up films from years ago. I
was dressed as The Wiggles with
a few of the guys from work.
What do you do for fun?
I love surfing and skiing and I
used to do waka ama, too, which
is outrigger canoeing.
Have you travelled overseas?
In 2014, after I had submitted
my masters thesis, I went to
Canada. I lived in Whistler for a
year working at the bar and on
the mountain and just skied and
had fun. I had a good time and,
by the end of the year, I came
back wanting to make use of my
degree and be more involved in
something besides living paycheck
to paycheck.
Were there any bear encounters?
Yeah, walking through the
village early morning and I was
still quite tired and went through
the forest section in the valley.
I looked up and there’s a beer
standing just in front of me. He
didn’t really care so I just turned
around cause I didn’t want to
deal with it. You get them everywhere.
They’re quite clever so a
lot of the door handles are knobs
because they know how to open
the levers. Stuff like that I wasn’t
used to. The raccoons were
hilarious but they’re the weirdest
creatures that waddle around.

Stream clean-up
SIXTY-FIVE TONNES of
accumulated silt has been blasted
out of an Ilam stream in an effort
to entice trout back to breed and
improve the habitat for other
aquatic life.
Recently North Canterbury Fish
& Game staff spent two weeks
co-ordinating the removal of sediment
from the Wairarapa Stream,
one of the Avon River’s most
important tributaries.
The operation removed silt
which had accumulated over the
years from stormwater drains
flowing into the stream, with
about 540 sq m of stream bed near
the Jellie Park Recreation and
Sports Centre cleaned.
It equated to 120kg of silt per sq
m cleaned.
Fish & Game officer Emily
Arthur-Moore said the goal was
to make the stream suitable for
trout to spawn in and habitable for
other aquatic life.
“Silt layers on top of the stream
gravels had smothered the invertebrates
that live in the stream bed
and, by removing the sediment,
aquatic life has the chance to prosper
again,” she said.
“Various techniques were used
during the two weeks, including
water jet blasters, diggers and a
specialised piece of equipment
FRESH WATER: Tony Findlay

COSGROVE, FISH & GAME NZ
called a sand wand,” Ms Arthur-
Moore said.
Support was given to the project
by the city council, Environment
Canterbury and Nelson-based
dredging and water treatment
consultants, Southwater, which
also provided various pumps and
hoses.
The stream bed was agitated using
either the water jet blasters or
the sand wand and the disturbed
silt was captured and then removed
to a de-watering site.
After a process to remove the
silt, the clean water was returned
to the stream and the sediment
remaining was taken to a landfill
for disposal.
Monitoring was carried
out throughout the project to
assess levels of sediment going
downstream.
“Large amounts of rubbish were
also removed during the process,
mainly broken glass and crockery,
but also items of footwear,
batteries and plastic.”
One volunteer, Tony Findlay,
grew up in the area 50 years ago
and recalled being able to drink
the stream water from the three
springs that once fed the stream
bed that he was working in.
“Not that you would do that
now,” he said.
The stream will be monitored
over the coming years to see if the
improved habitat increases the
diversity of invertebrates, which
trout predate on. Also of interest
is the degree that silt may return
to cover the stream bed.
Ms Arthur-Moore said it’s
hoped the techniques and
knowledge gained from the
project can be applied to other
enhancement projects around the
region.

FreshChoice, SuperValue
give back to community
THIS Christmas, FreshChoice
and SuperValue supermarkets
are encouraging customers
to give back to their local
community.
Give Local allows customers
to donate non-perishable food
items and health products to
those in need.
Specially-marked food collection
trolleys are in place now
at every FreshChoice and SuperValue
store throughout New
Zealand until New Year’s Day.
All items collected are destined
to support local charities,
such as the Salvation Army,
community food banks and
community-led food collections
from organisations like the
Lions Club.
Christchurch-based
FreshChoice and SuperValue
brands manager Liz de Lange
said: “We encourage customers
to look at what they are able to
afford and pop a few extra items
in their trolley to give to the
local charity.”
The supermarkets are
also collecting for the Red
Cross’s earthquake appeal
at all checkouts. Collections
have been started by a $5000
donation from the supermarket
group.
Taking Care of family
Wills, Powers of Attorney, Family Trusts, Rest Home Subsidy,
and Separation and Relationship Property Agreements,
we’ll take care of you and your family.

Food business focuses on
healthy choices
Their experiences on New Zealand
reality TV show MKR was the catalyst for
two Christchurch women, Ricki and Jessie,
to start their own food business – with the
focus firmly on healthy eating.
The pair spent many hours spent tasting,
testing and developing a series of healthy,
nutritionally balanced salads before
launching Healthkicks in April 2015.
“We wanted to provide healthy
options for everyday people,” says Ricki.
“Everyone’s busy these days and as a result
they sometimes find it quicker and easier
to get fast foods, which are often unhealthy.
We wanted to change that culture and offer
healthier options.”
Their selection of fresh, tasty salads
can be purchased in takeaway containers,
which hold a generous portion of up to
500 grams for $10. The salads can also be
vacuum-packed, so they will last longer in
the fridge. Those without lettuce can be
served hot or cold.
They are also available as platters to
serve at parties and barbeques, and with
Christmas Day and other festive occasions
coming up, these would be ideal, Ricki says.
They are delivered in vacuum packs for
easy storage. And as a healthy sweet treat
for ‘afters’, Healthkicks has the delicious
snickers slice.
Items are ordered through the website,
healthkicks.nz, with free delivery available
throughout the Christchurch area –
minimum purchase $30. Orders placed by
6pm will be delivered the following day,
Monday to Friday.
“We are finding that customers are
ordering a week’s worth of salads on a
Monday so they are set up for the week,”
says Ricki. “Our food speaks for itself. As
well as vegetables and proteins it contains
healthy carbs, so it keeps you full.”
Healthkicks also has a shop in
Avonhead, at 104 Staveley Street, phone
342 9541, where customers can purchase
items or pick up their orders. Business
hours are Monday 9am-1.30pm, Tuesday
to Friday, 6.30am-1.30pm.

THE PLAYHOUSE CHALLENGE
Tenants Protection Association (TPA) Christchurch, Birthright Canterbury, and
Star Media are proud to present Canterbury’s first ever ‘Playhouse Challenge.’
The competition will see some of our top architects and building teams compete
against each other to build Canterbury’s best playhouse and receive an award for
‘Best Architectural Playhouse’ or the ‘People’s Choice’.
The best five playhouses will be judged by an expert panel and members of the
public attending the 2017 Star Home & Leisure Show. The playhouses will be on
display at the Show from 30 June until 2 July, where they will also be auctioned.
Proceeds from the auction will be shared between TPA and Birthright Canterbury
to support their ongoing work in the community.
Send in Your Expression of Interest
If you think you are up for the challenge of building
Canterbury’s best playhouse, please submit an
Expression of Interest by 5pm on 22 December.
Visit birthrightchch.org.nz or tpa.org.nz

REAL ESTATE
An Empty Nest
130 Hackthorne Road, Cashmere
6 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office | 1 swimming pool | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # BE192731
With the family having left home this
magnificent home is now simply too big
for the vendor. Quintessentially Cashmere
this superb home with sweeping views and
all day sun will please the most discerning
buyer. A superbly designed extension by
Sheppard and Rout has resulted in a six
bedroom, four bathroom, three living
room home retaining the style and charm
of its history whist giving the benefit of
modern day living. Step into the large
elegant entranceway and on into the large
family kitchen and dining room area
featuring beautiful timber floors and then
through to the family room. A large formal
wood panelled lounge is a wonderful
space to perhaps achieve a quiet area from
the bustle of family life. The adjoining
conservatory can also double as room
for teenagers, being big enough to take a
table tennis table. A media room complete
with speakers, projector and screen is a
great place to entertain family and friends,
perhaps after a bbq and swim in the heated
inground pool. But perhaps the real
surprise lies at the top of the house. Here
is a purpose-built workspace, generous
in size and ideal for those who wish to
work from home. There is room for three
people to comfortably work plus storage
space for samples or stock. Attention to
detail continues even into laundry and a
refrigerated cool room. The large private
grounds are a joy for the gardener with
expansive lawns and well established trees
and shrubs. You can sit on the deck and
admire your garden in these long summer
days to come. There is so much to see in
the house - call now to view your new
home.

Christmas – a time for
celebration & worship
Christmas Day is a holy
day for Christians who
mark the 25 December as
the birth of Christ. They
come together in prayer
and song, heralding the
coming of Jesus, the son of
God.
Leading up to Christmas
day is the period of
advent. It begins on the
Sunday closest to the 30
November, with the advent
calendar counting down
the days to Christmas
while the advent wreath
contains five candles
representing the Sundays
before the special day and
one for Christmas Day.
Joseph, a carpenter and
Mary had been travelling
90 miles from Nazareth to
Bethlehem; as Joseph was
required to participate in a
Census where the Roman
rulers counted the number
of Jewish people for tax
purposes.
Heavily pregnant Mary
had been riding on a
donkey. She gave birth in
a cave stable where they
slept with the animals due
to there being no room at
the inn. The nativity scene
shows Jesus lying in a
manger in the stable; often
re-enacted by children as
part of church services
leading up to Christmas
Day with some churches
even having live animals as
part of this service.
A bright Star signalled
the coming of Christ and
guided wise men who took
gifts of gold, frankincense
and myrrh to the new born
while shepherds were led
there by an angel.
Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day services
are a time for rejoicing the
birth of Christ when carols
are sung and there is much
happiness.
We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy hoildays
