Post-quake homes:
Why they cost so much
• By Gabrielle Stuart
SINCE THE earthquakes, the
cost of building new homes in
Canterbury has risen by nearly 40
per cent.
Subdivisions have multiplied,
with almost 15,000 new homes in
Christchurch consented since January
2011, together worth more than
$4.6 billion.
Average costs of the new build
increase in dollar terms are not held.
But in the past five years, the average
home in Christchurch city has risen
by more than $120,000.
Statistics NZ surveys builders
about the cost of construction materials,
labour and total build prices, to
calculate the cost of building.
Its latest figures show the price
of new homes in Canterbury, not
including land, has risen by 39.7 per
cent since the beginning of 2011, a
lot faster than the 26.4 per cent rise
in Auckland.
Although the cost of materials and
labour has risen, they haven’t risen
nearly enough to account for the
hike.
Canterbury Registered Master
Builders president Alastair Miles said
a lot of the increase was in extra health
and safety and compliance costs.
A rule change in 2012 means scaffolding
and safety netting must be
used for even small, single-storey
homes, which he said usually added
about $5000-$15,000 per home, and
could add delays.
“All the emphasis on health and
safety is a good thing, but it inflicts
The cost of new homes has gone up 40 per cent since the
earthquakes. Here’s where the money may be going:
Wages: Up 27
per cent since 2011
Materials:

a lot of extra cost on construction,”
he said.
The rules around foundations were
also stricter, which he said could
cost about $5000-$10,000 for a house
on good land, and anywhere up to
$100,000 on badly earthquake-damaged
land.
The boom in work had meant there
was a lot more demand for good
workers, which had pushed up the
cost of labour substantially almost
overnight, he said.
According to Statistics New
Zealand, wages in the construction
industry in Canterbury have gone up
more than 25 per cent since 2011. The
planning costs had also gone up, as
Mr Miles said the process of putting
plans through the city council had
once cost about $1000, but could now
cost about $5000. •Turn to page 4

OUR FRONT page story
today is fairly sobering. The
cost of building a new home in
Canterbury has soared since the
earthquakes.
No rocket science in that but
reporter Gabrielle Stuart finds
out why it is costing so much and
talks to people in the building
and real estate industries.
No wonder the insurance
companies now insist on sum
insured.
And, on another sobering note,
so to speak, there’s some amazing
research happening into quelling
the urge for a drink (see page 4).
Two Christchurch people have
had tiny implants put into their
brains as part of Dunedin-based
research into alcoholism.
The research is a world first and
its goal is to stop cravings.
On pages 8-9 Gabrielle Stuart

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw the end of the 1951
Waterfront Strike on July 11. On July 13, 1905,
construction of King Edward Barracks began. The
building was completed in 25 days. It was often the
venue for large concerts and civic occasions. Severe
gales with gusts up to 145km/h were recorded on July
13, 1945, followed by a record 280mm snowfall over
the city on July 14. On July 17, 1861, work began on the
railway to Lyttelton. On July 17, 1964, the Government
Life Building in Cathedral Square was opened. It was
the city’s first “high rise glass box”. On July 17, 1979,
Princess Anne visited the city.

THE CITY has always been
dubbed the most English city
outside of England.
But the earthquakes claimed
many heritage buildings, including
Warners Hotel, Cranmer
Centre, or left others partially
intact like the Cathedral.
The city council draft visitor
strategy says, as a result, the city
has lost much of its “external”
identity – including its “Old
English” theme, anchored by
the Cathedral and “other notable
inner city buildings”.
It will, says the strategy,
impact local pride and confidence
and impede the city’s
economic, social and cultural
development.
The city’s visitor economy has
lost about $1 billion since the
February 22, 2011 earthquake
and the outlook is grim for the
next two years.
But Christchurch and Canterbury

club players, stepped in.

Canterbury
University associate professor
in marketing Ekant Veer said
the “old English” brand meant
more to the city personally as an
identity, evidenced by the city
council using the Cathedral as
its logo.
“That was the identity everyone
focused inwards towards,”
he said.
Mr Veer understand why. He
has a Cathedral tattoo, with
the dates of the September and
February earthquakes and the
number of those who perished
on his leg because he “never
wanted to forget”.
But he said despite this, he
thinks the earthquakes and the
Cathedral should not be central
to how we market ourselves in
the future.
“There is still a perception
that we are a ruined city, all you
see is a ruined Cathedral and
that is bad for identity in my
mind,” he said.

Mike Gaskin said the house
fire in Cheviot last week started
underneath the house. “It started
in a central area underneath the
floorboards,” he said. “It was an
accidental fire. With what has
happened and the serious nature of
it, all we are prepared to say is that
it is an accidental fire.”
HEALTHCARE PETITION
More than 400 people have signed
a petition to keep some healthcare
services at The Princess Margaret
Hospital. The Canterbury District
Health Board moved its elderly
care services to Burwood Hospital
last month, and plans to move
the remainder of services out
over the next three to five years.
The petition is calling for the site
to have elderly care services, a
radiology department, mental
health and maternity services and
a space for community support
teams.
RUAPUNA LIAISON
COMMITTEE
A Ruapuna Community Liaison
Committee has been set up to
deal with the noise issues at the
speedway. The city council set
up the committee for Ruapuna
Speedway as part of the
Christchurch Replacement District
Plan. It is likely to appoint Laurie
McCallum as the independent
committee chairman, whose roles
would be to review complaints
and noise monitoring, and review
and discuss the success of noise
reduction initiatives.
SIREN REINSTATED
The Sumner Lifeboat has reinstated
its siren after five years. The
original siren, which alerted people
when the lifeboat went out, used
to sit at the community centre
before it was demolished due to
earthquake damage. The siren has
been installed at the lifeboat station
in Scarborough, and would be
connected to the crew pager system
and alarm button today.

Demand for big homes increases
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE DEMAND for mansions
and large homes in Christchurch
is growing, fuelled by wealthy
people choosing to move to the
city from other parts of New
Zealand and from overseas.
The spike goes against the
trends, as property prices for
most Canterbury homes are flattening
out.
Bayleys real estate agent Adam
Heazlewood has several large
homes currently listed on the
market.
He had noticed a marked increase
in the number of inquiries
from people living out of town, as
well as a lot of interest from people
in Australia and the United
Kingdom.
He believed progress on the
rebuild, especially of the central
city, had contributed to the interest.
“The things I’m hearing from
day to day are a lot more positive
about what Christchurch is going
to offer,” he said.
The property figures were
released by Trade Me yesterday,
and compare the average asking
prices last month to those at the
same time last year.
Property prices have risen significantly
each year since
the earthquakes, but the latest
figures show the growth may be
slowing.
They show the average price
for medium-sized, three to fourbedroom
homes in Christchurch
rose less than one per cent in that
time, to $491,650.
But the average price for large
homes with five bedrooms or
more rose more than 12 per
cent, from about $650,000 to
$732,450.
Harcourts Christchurch
business development manager
Mike Mullen said there had been
a lot of interest in bigger or
higher priced homes.
He said there had been a lot of
inquiries from overseas buyers,
and a tighter market with fewer
properties available could also
contribute.
“The pressure’s certainly there,
and anything that is a reasonable

for $739,000+.
The average

property certainly has a lot of
interest in it.”
He said the Harcourts sales
figures also showed the rise in
prices across the market were
slowing, but it did not track the
difference between larger and
smaller homes.
Why do post-quake cost so much?
Alastair Miles
•From page 1
“It’s not builders pilfering the
system or taking advantage.
There are a lot of builders working
extremely hard who won’t
make money.”
Because of the demand for
labour, many new builders had
to hire less skilled workers,
which often meant mistakes
were made and had to be fixed,
he said.
Although some tradespeople
were driving big new trucks, that
did not necessarily reflect big
profits, he said.
He said those who had not
prepared for the rise in expenses
were now struggling.
Many of the flash new trucks
were leased, and had been repossessed
as businesses had gone
under, he said.
“There are a lot of builders
who aren’t great at using their
money wisely, and when they see
a positive cashflow they spend
it. So it’s not actually a reflection
potentially of them making
money, they’re just confident of
a good work stream and go and
splash out.”
Builders who were doing well
were making a profit because
they were taking on more
volume of work, not because
their margins had gone up, he
said.
As the residential rebuild work
plateaued, he expected building
prices to drop slightly, although
many of the increased costs
would stay the same.
“As the market quietens you’re
going to get more people competing
for less work, so you will
probably see potential dropping
of rates. We are seeing that now
with trades like painters, Gibstoppers,
bricklayers, tilers. We’re
getting cheaper rates coming
through.”

Booze-beating brain implants
• By Jamie Morton
TWO Christchurch people
have had tiny devices implanted
in their brains in a world first
experiment to beat alcoholics’
cravings.
The study, led by the University
of Otago’s
Professor Dirk De
Ridder (right),
is the first in
the world to use
implants to target
craving processes
in the brain to
combat alcoholism
and, if successful, could
result in a new form of intervention.
This week, Prof De Ridder,
a neurosurgeon at Dunedin
Hospital, inserted implants in
two patients from Christchurch,
bringing the number of participants
in his study to six.
By the end of the year, he
hoped to have recruited 10
patients.
He is also introducing newly
redesigned implants, cuttingedge
neuro-stimulators specially
made for the trials by United
States-based St Jude Medical,
which allow him to study a
wider range of signals sent from
the implant to specific circuits
in the brain that controlled cravings.
“Basically, it means that I’ve
now got more languages with
which to communicate with the
brain, which hopefully should
improve the outcome.”
The technology is aimed at
those whose health had been severely
impaired by alcohol, and
who had tried every other nonsurgical
treatment available.
Over recent times, scientists
have increasingly been exploring
whether subtly electrically
stimulating certain parts of the
brain could inhibit signals that
fuelled cravings.
“The main problem with current
stimulators is that they are
derived from pacemaker technology,
and the heart is a relatively
simple organ to stimulate,
whereas the brain is somewhat
more complex.
“That’s why we’ve had to push
the technology to create the bigger
versatility – or enable more
languages – that might improve
the result.”
Researchers in Germany have
trialled implants to combat alcohol
addiction but most of the
participants had relapsed.
However, that study had
targeted reward processes in the
brain, rather than cravings, he
said.
Cravings, stress and cues –
such as walking past a bar or
seeing alcohol in the supermarket
– were the three main
reasons why 80 per cent of
people with alcohol addictions
relapsed.
“So you have to target one
of those three. You can’t do
anything about cues, and you
can treat stress but that probably
isn’t so efficient, so that’s why we
opted to go after cravings.’’
Results of the study have so
far been promising: none of the
participants have abused alcohol
since surgery, and two had also
been able to quit smoking.

MAN SENTENCED AFTER
INDECENT ACT
A Christchurch man caught
masturbating at a teenage
girls’ softball game has been
sentenced to 12-months intensive
supervision. Martin Allen Graham
appeared in the district court on
Tuesday on charges of committing
an indecent act and possession
of cannabis. He was smoking
cannabis before turning up to the
game in March at Cowles Stadium.
He watched the girls playing
while masturbating for about five
minutes until he was interrupted
and ran off but was caught by
police, who found a small amount
of cannabis in his possession.

Final countdown for SCIRT programme
SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and
retaining walls is now 91% complete and will finish in December.
Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s
underground pipe networks.
SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip
between Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing
their important job below ground.
SCIRT has also repaired more than 120 bridges; this is 98% of the
overall SCIRT bridge repair programme.
After SCIRT, The Christchurch City Council and NZ Transport Agency
will continue their programmes of ongoing repairs.
Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the

Otakaro, DCL’s six-figure salaries
• By Shelley Robinson
TWO PUBLICLY-owned
companies spearheading the
city’s rebuild have average salary
rates in excess of $120,000.
Development Christchurch

could average about
$135,714, while Otakaro Ltd, a
Crown-owned company tasked
with delivering the anchor
projects, has an average salary of
$123,333.
Anglican Advocacy, a social

like the Government and city
council which pay large salaries
are “losing touch” with those
struggling in the
post-earthquake
city.
Manager Jolyon
White (left) said
they should lead
by example.
“Yes, those rates
are wrong, but
we as a society are accepting
of that. We are a society of too
much with an endless acceptance
of too little. I would have less
of a problem with people being
highly paid if they weren’t also
leaving people at the bottom end
with insufficient [amounts] to
raise their families on.”
Canterbury’s average income
is $30,100, and 35.8 per cent have
an annual income of $20,000
or less, according to the 2013
census.
But both DCL and Otakaro
said they had to pay market
rates in order to attract the right
people to the roles of rebuilding
the city.
Neither could provide salary
bands.
DCL chief executive Rob Hall
said: “To attract top candidates
who will make a real difference
for Christchurch and deliver
results in their areas of expertise,
DCL must offer competitive
market salaries.”
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said
the city council did not set the
salaries and equating the average
salary was mis-leading for
DCL because there were only 14
people.
“If anyone needs to take

the lead on this, it’s the state
sector, where remuneration of
government department officials
continues to drive expectations,”
she said.
Crs Raf Manji, Phil Clearwater
and Yani Johanson said they
would not comment on DCL
salaries.
But Cr Johanson said: “At a
general level, I personally believe
that council should be considering
the issue of, and reporting
on pay relativity, across the
organisation and encouraging its
companies to do the same.”
Otakaro’s staffing structure, released
to The Star, states it has 90
employees – much trimmer than
Cera’s 357 in December 2014.
It has six departments with
an emphasis on project management.
Otakaro’s average salary is
higher than that of Cera in 2015
which was $109,910.
If it was a Government department,
it would be second only to
the State Services Commission
on $125,917.
An Otakaro spokesman said a
comparison with other Government
departments would not be
“meaningful” as it was a Crown
company.
Minister supporting Greater
Christchurch Regeneration Gerry
Brownlee would not comment
as it was “a matter for Otakaro”.
But Labour MP Megan Woods
said the salaries were “high for
Christchurch” but the real test
was whether it was value for
money.
“He (Mr Brownlee) can’t hide
behind the fact it is a Crownowned
company to avoid answering
questions and to be held
accountable,” she said.
I believe the
elections are
important for all
of us – everyone’s
voice must be

How sharing office space
Shared spaces, co-working, hot-desking,
desk-surfing. Whatever you call it, there is no denying
it’s a growing trend. Gabrielle Stuart spoke to some of
the many Christchurch business people moving out of
their offices and choosing instead to rent a desk
WITH THE
central city
cordoned off after
the February,
2011, earthquake,
hundreds of
Cantabrians
began working
from home.
Rebecca Tavete (above) was
one of them.
She was expecting a sense of
freedom – working in comfort at
home, at her own pace, without
the stress of trying to make it to
the office.
“I definitely wasn’t prepared to
feel isolated and distracted.
“It was a sense of freedom
to start with, but it gets on top
of you when you’re not able to
talk with those around you, and
bounce ideas off them. Your
thought process slows down and
you feel out of the loop.”
She also discovered housework
and pets weren’t the only distractions
when working at home.
“Friends and family think
you’re at home, so you’re not
working. So they’ll pop in, which
is great, but it’ll take up an hour,
often your most productive
hour.”
Last week, she held the first
open house at Argo, the coworking
space she is creating in
New Brighton, which she plans
to open officially next month.
Her vision was to create the
space she wanted for her business.
Somewhere you could have
the flexibility of working from
home, where “you can pop out
of the office and go for a surf”,
while keeping a network of
creative business people to work
alongside and having access to
meeting rooms and spaces where
clients can be hosted.
Argo will be the newest coworking
space in Christchurch,
but far from the first.
It follows C-Lab on St Asaph
St, which opened in 2013, the
Ministry of Awesome’s expanded
Awesome HQ and HQ+, and The
Collect on Manchester St, which
opened last year.
By September, national coworking
network BizDojo plans
to open a huge shared space in
the top two-storeys of the Kathmandu
building, where up to 150
people can co-work.
But in spite of the number of
spaces opening, the demand is
growing faster.

can be good for business
SPACE: Areas to meet clients, like this one at The Collect
co-working space, are some of the things people often miss
when trying to run a business from home.
PHOTO: NAOMI HAUSSMAN
She works as a freelance event
producer, and keeping a conventional
office didn’t make sense as
she often had to travel overseas to
Australia or Hong Kong for her
work.
But working from home,
as “a freelancer at the kitchen
bench trying to be professional
on Skype calls”, wasn’t working
either.
“I wanted a space where I could
feel instantly at home, a hub of
creativity where I could spark
new ideas for the city,” she said.
There were risks involved in
co-working.
Just one person who did not fit
in or work well with others could
change the environment completely,
so she said she had to be
careful about who she accepted.
She ran background checks on
people coming in, and had a trial
period when they signed up so if
it didn’t work for either side they
could back out.
One of the attractions of The
Collect was the way residents
shared their knowledge with one
another, taking turns to host
workshops on anything from
digital marketing to how to optimise
your website.
For someone going out on their
own, that kind of knowledge
could be invaluable, she said.
But it wasn’t just owneroperators
or freelancers using
co-working spaces.
With six staff, Alan Cox’s business
Fluent Scientific is too big to
fit the usual bill for co-working
spaces, but still too small to make
keeping its own office work.
Problems around office space
could completely “hamstring”
the growth of small businesses in
Christchurch, he said.
He said the cost of signing a
lease and fitting out a building
was huge for a small company,
and even worse in the postearthquake
environment where
there was more demand for
central offices.
“You really don’t know how big
you’re going to be 12 months, or
even 18 months, out. So you’re
left in a catch 22 situation, where
you may be too big for where
you are now, but it would be the
wrong thing to do to sign up to a
longer lease on more space than
you might need.”
Even if a small business did
find its own office, he said isolation
was another problem.
With just a small number of
staff, it was harder to build the
social connections and networks
needed to make a business thrive,
he said.
He has worked for big companies
around the world and on
his own small start ups, and said
co-working combined “the best
of both worlds”.
He is based alongside three
other larger businesses at the
Ministry of Awesome HQ+ on
Madras St.
It runs alongside the Awesome
HQ on St Asaph St, where about
30 businesses are based and others
“hot desk” temporarily.
Chief awesome officer Lauren
Merritt said the space was allowing
people to start businesses
without as much risk.
MORE SPACE: Another
meeting space at The Collect
co-working office..

“The permanent spaces are relatively
cheap, so it is not another
barrier to start. People think if
I fail it’s just a month-to-month
contract, so it makes it really easy
for people to test out their ides or
start a business.”
Rather than competing, many
new business owners wanted to
collaborate and help one another,
she said.
Sharing space allowed them to
do that much more effectively.
“I think it’s huge, because it’s
showing a new way of business
is possible. You don’t have to go
work for a large firm and work
your way up.”

Working group looking
at Cathedral’s future
I KNOW there is considerable
interest in seeing progress on
the Christ Church Cathedral,
and I’m confident we’re
moving positively toward
that goal. Ultimately,
this is a decision for the
Anglican Church, as they
own the Cathedral, but
the Government is doing
everything it can to support
a process where a sound,
accurately-costed decision can
be made.
To that end, a working group
is considering options for the
re-instatement or replacement
of the Cathedral and will, once
a consensus has been reached,
recommend the best way
forward.
On June 14, I – in conjunction
with Bishop Victoria Matthews
– appointed the working
group. Together with the
Church Property Trust, we
established a Christ Church
Cathedral Working Group
with the skills and experience
to thoroughly consider
re-instatement options, how
it could be done and what the
different options will cost.
The group met for the first
Gerry Brownlee
time last month, and is already
compiling a range of technical
information and hearing from
experts such as those working
on projects of a similar nature.
A report by Miriam Dean
QC last year confirmed reinstatement
of the Cathedral
could be achieved through a
combination of repair, restoration,
reconstruction and seismic
strengthening, but with a
caveat around costs.
There is strong public interest
in what is happening to this
iconic building, and I know
people want to see the Church
Property Trust able to reach
a decision so that the city can
move forward.
The working group will be
reporting back on a way
forward by November 28 2016
and it will provide a final report
to the Crown and Church
Property Trust by December
7 2016.
We have given the group this
time to allow for a thorough
consideration of the options.
I’m confident from their
initial work, that the group
– which has appointees from
the Crown, Church Property
Trust and Great Christchurch
Buildings Trust – has the appropriate
mix of skills and experience
to deliver an appropriate
outcome.
I would encourage interested
parties to allow the working
group to get on with their
work and support them when
required.
Gerry Brownlee is
Minister supporting Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
A reader responds to
The Star story in which
Philip Burdon and Jim
Anderton said they
have been gagged from
talking publicly about the
future of Christ Church
Cathedral.
Peter Banens – Gabrielle
Stuart wrote a very interesting
article in The Star on July 7 about
Christ Church Cathedral, headed
“Cathedral group say they are
muzzled”.
I think all those involved are
passing the buck. Philip Burdon
and Jim Anderton are right to
complain about being “muzzled”.
Gerry Brownlee, the prime
minister, his cabinet, the Anglican
Diocese, including Bishop Victoria
among others, have all had fingers
pointed at them.
Some have done very little.
While we put up with no
action,why not cover up the gaping
hole at the front of the cathedral?
The Star
David Marra – John Key and
his cabinet face an awful moral
dilemma. On one hand, real estate
barons, bankers and property
investors, and upwardly mobile
home-owners, who exploit untaxed
capital gains to climb the property
ladder, are over represented among
their political support base. On the
other hand, first home buyers, tenants
paying unaffordable rents, and
the homeless are less well represented
among Key supporters. John Key
and his cabinet have a moral choice
to make between his political supporters’
private property rights, and
tenants, the homeless and first home
buyers’ right to affordable housing.
To date, Key and his cabinet have
performed endless political contortions
to show they are addressing the
worsening housing crises, while aggressively
defending his electorates’
private property rights and rights
to profiteer from untaxed capital
gains, fuelled by run-away housing
inflation and unaffordable tax-payer
subsidised rents.

Fast food outlet concern
Tracie
Charnock
is a parent
concerned
about the
fast food
outlets being
built so close
to Linwood
Avenue
School and other schools in
Christchurch. She writes about
what concerns she has with
this and what she wants to see
change
After a KFC was built straight
across the road from my son’s
primary school, I thought, is this
okay?
You can see the building and its
advertisement from the school’s
classrooms and playground. And the
smell is strong enough to smell from
the school also.
So I spoke to the principal
to find that schools don’t have a say
of what gets built in the radius of a
school.
This to me was concerning. I put
my concerns out there through the
media and started a petition against
fast food outlets being built in close
proximity of schools.
Since I started my petition back in
late May, and put it out there to the
media this, has been a topic of conversation
with large support for.
I have gathered 272 signatures to
date and just started a online petition
at www.change.org “No Fast Food
Built Near Schools.”
As a parent I support healthy
eating for my children and the
schools promote healthy eating
in schools. Yet, I feel this is
undermined when the fast food
chains can build so close to a school.
I feel these fast food chains are
targeting young children and low
decile areas, and the research seems
to back it up.
Researcher Peter Day and Geohealth
lab co-director Dr Jamie
Pearce (University of Edinburgh)
conducted a study at the University
of Canterbury in 2011 about fast food
outlets clustered around schools.
The study carried out found that
fast food outlets are five and a half
times more likely to build near
schools than other areas. He also
found the proximity of such outlets
were highest around low decile
schools.
Since this I have had meetings with
Labour MP Ruth Dyson and we have
had a delegation hearing to put our
concerns to the board which has now
led to a hearing with the city council.
I would like a bylaw passed to stop
these fast food chains from building
their outlets in close proximity of
schools. Or give schools a say of what
gets built within a 800m radius.
Affordable housing
LAST WEEKEND, the
Labour Party turned 100. We
had much to celebrate, but
it was also a time to think
about what the next Labour
Government needs to do.
Nearly two decades into
the 21 st Century, one of our
important jobs is one Micky
Savage would understand –
we need to make sure there
are dry, warm and affordable
houses for people.
My electorate office in Hoon
Hay has a steady stream of
people struggling to access
adequate housing. It is because
of what we are seeing on the
ground that Labour used its
birthday party to announce a
comprehensive plan to tackle
housing issues.
We’ll set up an Affordable
Housing Authority to build
more affordable homes for
people to buy, undertake major
revitalisation programmes
and crack down on speculators.
We’ll also end National’s
state house sell-off and stop
using Housing New Zealand
as a cash cow, instead refocusing
it on what it does best
– looking after people in need.
In Christchurch, we have
an exciting opportunity to get
the development of affordable
housing going really fast. We
already have special legislation
in place and there are agencies
like Regenerate Christchurch
who could hit the ground running
on this.
Take the East Frame anchor
project. Part of the Government’s
blueprint plan to bring
20,000 people back in to the
inner city but we have yet to
see any sign of construction
beginning.
Back in December 2015, a
deal was signed with Fletcher
Residential to develop nearly
1000 townhouses in central
Christchurch. The East Frame
should have been well underway
already but they are waiting
for enough pre-sales.
A Labour Government
would not be content to sit
back and watch this in-action.
We would work alongside the
parties to underwrite the risk
and get some actual houses
built.
Innovation, and not the
business-as-usual thinking
of the current Government is
what is required.
John Key said the apartments
would cost up to
$900,000, but that the pricing
was for Fletcher’s to determine.
National are completely out
of touch if they think townhouses
costing as much as
$900,000 are within the reach
of most Cantabrians.
They have said they will not
do anything to ensure that
there are affordable options.
We will. Labour’s plan will
build homes that Cantabrian
families can actually afford to
buy. We will deliver east frame
townhouses for $300,000-
$500,000.
The differences between
Labour and National are clear.
Labour will get cracking and
build affordable houses.

Massive savings
Peter Simmonds,
unemployed, of
Riccarton: I don’t want
him as mayor. I think he
is a good political activist,
somebody on the outside,
criticising institutions
and people and making
fair comment but as
far as running the local
council where he has to
interact with a range of
organisations including
probably bodies with
a lot of National party
members on them, I don’t
think it is a wise thing
for him to be in charge
of the council. A few
years ago we had a lot of
trouble with division on
the council and I think
he might produce that
division again. I don’t
give him a dog’s show
going up against Lianne
Dalziel.
Helene Philpott, retired,
of Russley: I think he’s a
bit too radical. I would
say no, he doesn’t stand
much chance against
Lianne Dalziel.
Margaret Marshall,
manager, of Sockburn:
No, I think there are a few
others that need to go there
instead of him. I don’t
think he has much chance
against Lianne. Females all
the way – it’s a trend at the
moment! No, I wouldn’t
vote for him.
Peter Smith, retired, of
Ilam: That would be a
disaster. I should hope
he doesn’t stand much of
a chance. I would hope
people realise his way
out thoughts.
Ben Seddon-Smith,
student, of Ilam: To be
honest I don’t know
how I would feel
about him as mayor of
Christchurch. He has
proved that he is quite
politically active with
the Springboks tour but
other than that I don’t
know too much about
him. Lianne Dalziel is
definitely the favourite,
but we will just have to
wait and see.

Prior to the earthquakes the city’s external identity
was partly built on its “old English” heritage. With the
earthquakes claiming many of these buildings, we
asked, what should our new identity be?
Robyn Cahill, banker, of
Halswell: At the moment
it’s a lovely garden city. I’d
like to see it maintained
to what it has always
been, a vibrant and lovely
city. And for it to stay the
Garden City.
Kevin Wicks, foreman,
of Dallington: We need
an image that welcomes
everyone. The central city
is pretty important in that
it can have everything. It
shouldn’t just be business
or tourist attractions, I
think it needs something
for everyone. We don’t
want only tourists to use
it or only business people
to use the city. We want to
invite everyone back into
the city, I think the way
we can do that is by having
it open to businesses
and to cafes.
Ellisha Foon, student, of
Riccarton: Christchurch
is a city with potential
and is thriving because it
is a place where innovation
is blossoming, but to
me it will always be the
Garden City. It’s unlike
any place it New Zealand
and although buildings
will change, the natural
environment shouldn’t.
Paige Doak, retail
manager, of Riccarton:
It’s beautiful and friendly
in Christchurch. I like
the Garden City image
but going forward I don’t
think we have to stick to
a certain image. People
always comment about
how beautiful the city is
with the parks and cool
wee walkways and things.
I don’t think we should
put a label on it because
then we will feel like we
have to stick to it. Our city
is beautiful and unique
and I think we have to
keep that in mind. We
shouldn’t try and make
Christchurch look like
other places around the
world.
Tim McMaster, student,
of Sydenham: I don’t
think we should put a
label on it. Why do we
have to be the Garden
City or the cycle city
or something else to
promote us? We promote
ourselves as clean green
New Zealand so I think
we should continue to
promote that more as the
city redevelops and moves
forward.
Ashleigh Johnson,
student, of Leeston: I
like the Garden City as it
is. We have an awesome
opportunity for it to
grow and develop as the
rebuild moves forward.
We still have heritage but
we have new buildings
coming so that’s really
exciting to see the city
develop. I think the
inner-city is mixing the
old and new together
really well.

School’s long wait over
Redcliffs
School
principal
Rose
McInerney
talks
about how
it felt to
hear Education Minister
Hekia Parata announce the
school would remain open
It’s quite hard to explain the feelings
of an interminable wait that
was finally coming to an end.
The Redcliffs board of trustees
had now had quite a few meetings
with Minister Hekia Parata
to meaningfully engage on the
importance of our school remaining
open but this was to be
the mother of all meetings.
So much preparation had gone
into what this day would reveal
and there was a strong weight of
responsibility in my heart and
I’m certain in the hearts of those
with me.
Half of the board – Kent
France, Mark Robberds, Steph
Grieve and I met at the airport
bright and early and ready to
go. We faced the very interested
media with our ongoing positive
approach to how well we had
problem solved the Minister’s
concerns and felt hopeful for a
change in decision for the Redcliffs
School community. This
issue had now reached out to all
New Zealanders and we knew
many had a deep interest in
what Thursday’s result would be.
We travelled to Wellington
leaving our children in the confident
and professional hands
of our staff and the other half
of the board of trustees. They
carried on their school day as
normally as they possibly could,
while we boarded our flight with
the promise of any news coming
straight to them the minute that
we had it. So much invested in
this process and so many people
willing us to have good news for
our community’s future.
On arrival in Wellington
we taxied to Parliament, had a
quick coffee, and again were met
by more media going in to the
Beehive.
We announced our arrival at
reception and sat down to have
our last chat about our approach
for the two potential outcomes.
So much time had been given to
this final submission and it was
truly crunch time.
Before long we were welcomed
into the Minister’s office with
her large team of advisers and
we waited for Minister Parata’s
response with baited breath.
While we had been banking
on a positive decision when it
actually came through there
were enormous hugs both in
Wellington and soon after in
Christchurch.
A united team of problem
solving, invested, tenacious, determined
individuals had come
together and saved our Redcliffs
School from closure. A feeling
I will never forget and so proud
to share in that piece of very
important history.

RELIEVED:
Education Minister
Hekia Parata
announced that
Redcliffs School will
remain open.
Big community
effort pays off
Green MP
Eugenie
Sage says
the Redcliffs
School decision
was great news
Congratulations
to everyone in
the Redcliffs School community
for the sustained and successful
advocacy to keep Redcliffs School
as a local school. Standing up for
what you believe in helps create
change in politics.
Overturning Education Minister
Hekia Parata’s interim decision
last November that Redcliffs
School would close by the end
of this year has taken a massive
effort. It has involved inspired
leadership from the school board
of trustees, a determined effort
by parents, energy from students
and creative engagement with the
media and the wider community.
The Minister’s decision will ensure
that Redcliffs School, either
on the Main Rd site or another
site such as Barnett Park, remains
the hub of its community.
Elsewhere in education, the
news has been less welcome.
In a surprise Budget move, the
Government decided to freeze
funding for schools’ operational
grants.
This means there will be more
pressure on parents to “donate”
even more for their children’s
education. This puts quality education
under strain and erodes
the right to a free education.
Operational funding goes
into essentials such as heating,
computers for students, learning
support, property maintenance,
and relief teachers.
We need regular funding increases
to keep up with increased
costs. Between 2010 and 2014
parents forked out $791.3 million
to subsidise their children’s education
with donations.
Redcliffs School Fair is one of
the largest and most successful in
Christchurch in raising funds to
help students learn. Lower decile
schools will suffer the most, as
their ability to fundraise is more
constrained.
As well as protecting the right
of students to be able to attend
their local neighbourhood
school, we need to ensure that
funding for education keeps up
with inflation.

A CHRISTCHURCH start-up
developing cat’s eyes that can
collect big data on traffic and
conditions on our roads is one
of 10 to be selected for fasttracking
through Vodafone’s
innovation lab.
SolarBright is one of 10 startups
and SMEs chosen to take part
in Vodafone xone, a business accelerator
designed to nurture the
best ideas and Kiwi talent in the
research and commercialisation
of world-class technology.
The company has been around
for nine years and its founders,
husband and wife team Pat and
Nicola Martin, have focused on
solar road-side lighting.
Pat Martin has since been
designing cat’s eyes that can
track big data and transmit it to
a device that can build a picture
of the roading conditions like
weather, traffic flows and air
quality.
Mr Martin said he was interested
in the opportunities Vodafone
presented in terms of taking his
design to the world.
“Vodafone is a beast all over
the world. We’re trying to take
our technology globally . . . so
to have such a beast is a perfect
partnership.”
Connectivity is a key factor in
his cat’s eyes reliability, so having
access to a closed network in
Vodafone xone for trials would
be useful he said.
Vodafone’s consumer director
Matt Williams said the 10 companies
were selected from more
than 170 applications.
“We wanted to spread our
wings a bit and get involved
with a broader set of companies.
There’s a bit of golden age of entrepreneurship
in New Zealand.”
Each company will receive a
total package worth more than
$150,000, including
$25,000 in seed-funding and
mentoring as part of a six-month
programme.
Vodafone xone and SolarBright
are based in central Christchurch.
“Christchurch is a real technology
and innovation hub for New
Zealand,” Mr Williams said.
INNOVATIVE: Nicola and
Pat Martin have designed
cat’s eyes which can track
and transmit data (below).
“There’s a huge amount of
energy and activity there.”
Callaghan Innovation has
committed $900,000 to Vodafone
xone over the next three years to
help fund the Innovation Lab for
research and development. The
facility, containing specialised
technology worth $19 million,
will be open to the xone companies.

Household debt at high level
• By Simon Hartley
LOW INTEREST rates and
windfalls from escalating
house prices have household
debt sitting at higher levels
than before the 2007-08 global
financial crisis, highlighting
the economy’s vulnerability to
unfavourable changes.
While New Zealand’s household
debt levels have continued
to break records, the debt
servicing costs remain low, most
lending is secured against assets
and lenders have been independently
tightening access credit,
Westpac senior economist Satish
Ranchhod said.
“One of the key issues
confronting the New Zealand
economy is a build-up of debt
in the household sector. Over
2015, household debt rose
to levels higher than those
reached prior to the financial
crisis,’’ he said.
The latest Reserve Bank
figures showed the trend had
continued in early 2016 and
household debt was now at levels
equivalent to 163 per cent
of annual household disposable
income, Mr Ranchhod said.
“A key contributor to this
trend has been historically low
interest rates.
The present low interest
rates had provided a powerful
boost to asset prices, particularly
for housing, he said.
“And as has historically
been the case, strength in the
housing market has seen home
owners spending some of the
windfall they perceive when
the value of their house rises,
while aspiring buyers must
borrow more,’’ Mr Ranchhod
said.
The net effect was an increase
in both borrowing and
spending, he said.
Compared with other developed
economies, household
debt-to-GDP in New Zealand
was “relatively high’’ and was
consistent with strong growth
in house prices.
Contributing factors to the
debt trend include recordlow
interest rates, which have
boosted housing demand,
and a housing supply that has
not kept up with population
growth, especially in Auckland.
“These conditions have
made it very attractive for
investors to purchase residential
property using debt,’’ Mr
Ranchhod said.
The strong growth in house
prices also meant owner-occupiers
were having to borrow
more to purchase housing.
Mr Ranchhod said “trends
in debt levels over time can
alert us to the build-up of
risk’’.
Some pick-up in debt levels
was not a problem for an
economy and was actually a
sign monetary policy was operating
as expected, he said.
The Reserve Bank had set
interest rates at low levels to
boost domestic activity, which
was helping offset headwinds
in externally focused parts
of the economy and households’
appetite for debt would
continue to support economic
activity for the next few years,
he said.
However, rising household
debt raised important concerns
for the longer-term
economic outlook.

JORDAN MAUGER has
been transformed from

Mauger had to get the

before The Bachelor NZ

insisted slimming back

“I’m quite fascinated

For the role of Nugent,
Mauger was delighted

It has been really amazing, and
quite emotional. We’ve always
said this is a real privilege to be
part of, but at the ceremony on
Sunday with the full powhiri and
people travelling from across the
country to be part of it, it was
really humbling. The amount of
positive people power has been
incredible. It makes you proud to
be a Kiwi.
So take me back to the beginning.
Where did this whole
thing start?
It was Christmas Day. We
always get together as a family
over Christmas and talk about
all sorts of stuff. Who’s in the
Crusaders team, how the Tactix
are doing, education in New
Zealand, that kind of thing. Duane
and I had both seen the ad
for the beach, so there was a bit
of banter, saying we could buy
it for New Zealand. Initially we
thought we could get 100 people
to put in quite a lot of money,
then we said what if everyone
pitched in a couple of bucks?
So a lot of people have these
kind of crazy ideas – how did
it get from that point to a real
campaign?
TEAMWORK:
Christchurch
brothers-inlaw
Duane
Major and
Adam
Gard’ner
(right),
who ran a
successful
campaign
raising almost
$2.28m to
buy an Abel
Tasman
beach. ​
Well, it was really our families
who said ‘okay, why don’t you do
anything about it?’ A couple of
weeks went past and we digested
the idea and mulled it over. We
weren’t afraid of failing, we
thought we could do it. But the
toughest thing was showing
ourselves to the public, saying
this is us, this is what we’re
trying to do. It makes you quite
vulnerable. But after a couple of
weeks we went for a walk with
our families and it came up, and
it was a real ‘I will if you will’
moment. We both put messages
on our Facebook pages and had
positive feedback so we thought
why not? In the first few days,
only a few pledges were made, so
we thought okay, oh well. Then
we got a little bit of media attention
and it blew up from there.
I’ll always remember that moment
we hit $70,000. I thought
that is a lot of money, we might
be able to pull this off.
And you did it all around
full-time work?
Yes, Duane does youth work
for a church, and I work for Tennis
NZ and the Waimairi Tennis
Club, but both our work gave us
space to get it done. We both still
had to work, but we went into
over-drive after work until 1am
or 2am sometimes. I basically
based myself at Duane’s after
work for a few weeks, but both
our families were incredibly
understanding. They were a huge
part of it, but also gave us our
space when we needed it.

that now belongs to us all
And where were you when you
heard the news you had won the
beach?
Well, Duane had gone on Paul
Henry’s show that morning and
said everyone’s invited to our
place for the announcement, so
we had big news crews there and
complete strangers wandering up
the driveway, saying I’m here for
the party, which was awesome.
We had a sausage sizzle, and the
coffee machine going. But we
hadn’t heard anything, so we
were getting ready to make an
announcement on national TV
that we didn’t make it, when I got
an email saying hold on. It was
about 10.30 that night that we
finally heard and, by then, most
people had headed home. We
always wanted to share the whole
story with everyone, so our first
instinct was how are we going to
message that. But we did take a
few minutes to have a few hugs,
there were pretty big smiles on
our faces.
Were there people who made
donations that particularly
stood out to you?
That’s really hard to answer,
because they really all did. We
had people donating 50 cents for
each grandchild, for example,
SOLD: The Awaroa Inlet beach is now part of the Abel Tasman
National Park, and will be maintained for the public by the
Department of Conservation.
and those donations were just
as important as the big pledges.
There were small companies and
cafes and schools who got behind
it, so when we reached the total
of 39,000 pledges, really there are
thousands more people behind
that, because some pledges represented
groups. The Government
were really generous, as well
as people who gave us advice.
Givealittle was amazing and did
a huge amount of work on it, and
the media were with us all the
way.
So tell me about some of your
favourite memories on the
beach?
Well, we’ve both spent time up
here. Duane, a youth worker has
done a lot of work here, and he
and my wife, because they are
siblings, have taken groups up
here. We holiday up here, too, so

there have been some wonderful
family times for us up here and
all over the Abel Tasman, but I’ve
got to say Sunday would be pretty
hard to beat. When Duane spoke
on Sunday, he said all his kids
have been in the womb on the
beach, and he and his brother,
Kerry, who died a few years ago,
kayaked into the beach. That is
part of why keeping the land for
everyone is so important, because
it provides memories and stories
that keep us connected.

Countdown to Rio
Shaw’s third chance at gold
The Rio De Janeiro Olympic Games are less
than a month away. Sports reporter Gordon
Findlater counts down to Rio, highlighting some
of our brightest talents. This week we look at
Canterbury’s Brad Shaw who hopes to claim a
medal in his third games with the Black Sticks.
• By Gordon Findlater
HURRY
LIMITED STOCK!
BRAD SHAW is hoping its a
case of being third time lucky at
the Rio Olympics.
After what he describes as
inconsistent performances from
New Zealand squads in Beijing
and London, he’s hopeful the
Black Sticks have the right plan
going into this year’s games.
“At previous games, we’ve
played really well, but have
struggled to get results against
weaker opposition we should be
beating. In Beijing we could only
manage a draw with China, and
in London we lost our opening
game to Korea. We should be
beating them nine out of 10
times,” said Shaw.
Now an experienced Olympian,
he is also aware of the foreign
environment players must
be prepared for. He described
his first experience in Beijing as
eye opening, even to the point of
seeking a sports psychologist a
week into the event.
“It’s not something you get
used to, you just have to be
prepared. The media hype and
Olympic village are huge.”
Shaw claimed his spot in New
Zealand hockey folk-law in 2008,
when New Zealand faced Argentina
in an Olympic qualifier. The
match went into sudden-death
extra time. Shaw grabbed the
match-winning goal for the
Black Sticks, booking their spot
in the Beijing Olympics.
“I haven’t scored too many
goals in my career, but seem to
have a knack for scoring memorable
ones.”
The defender comes from
a proud hockey family. Older
brother Hayden Shaw represented
the Black Sticks at the
2004 and 2008 Olympics and
was known as the drag-flick shot
expect during his career.
Brad Shaw began playing
hockey at age four, playing in
the local park. He played his first
competitive hockey for club-side
Selwyn, which his father also
played for. Shaw still plays for the
club now known as Southern following
the amalgamation of the
Selwyn and Sydenham.
While at Shirley Boys’ High,
he helped the school during a
successful period for its hockey
team. He playing alongside the
likes of former New Zealand
international cricketer Michael
Papps, who he described as a
handy mid-fielder.
Canterbury’s provincial men’s
team didn’t acquire the services
of Shaw until 2004. Prior to
that, he travelled north to play
for Midlands, due to what he
described as a different view in
playing styles to the Canterbury
set-up at the time.
Former Black Sticks assistant
coach Andrew Hastie was Shaw’s
first Canterbury men’s coach and
was impressed with the player he
had seen come through various
age group teams.
“He was a really strong player.
Uncompromising. He’s one of
those guy’s that always plays
with his heart. He wears it on
his sleeve and he just goes for it,”
said Hastie.
Shaw has since become Canterbury
captain, a role Hastie
believes the 33-year-old thrives
in.
“He’s our go-to player, always
gives 100 percent. He plays the
game in the right spirit and gives
everything on the field.”
The 2004 Champions Trophy
was Shaw’s first international
tournament, making his debut
against Pakistan. Hardly given
the ideal start to his international
career, he first took to
the field for 30 seconds while a
team-mate addressed a broken
shoe lace.
Since then, he has gone on to
represent New Zealand at two
Olympic Games, two Commonwealth
Games and a Hockey
World Cup.
Being a teacher at St Andrew’s
Preparatory School, having a
family and an international
hockey career has been a fine
balancing act.
“My wife is [the one] to thank.
I’ve also taken a lot of time off
teaching through the second
and third terms of school to get
myself ready for Rio. It’s a big
decision to make with work, a
family and the Olympic Games,”
said Shaw.

Divide and conquer
AS A family of six,
planning a holiday can be
tricky.
Trying to book flights
in school holidays often
results in high prices,
terrible flight schedules,
and a logistical feat to find
accommodation (who can
easily house an extra six
people?) and car transport
(it can cost up to $1000 a
week to hire a seven-seater
vehicle). To be fair, it’s
often a better option to
simply stay at home.
These school holidays
we were tempted to do just
that. However, my eldest
two girls were dead set on
heading up to the North
Island to stay with their
grandparents and catch up
with cousins and friends.
While I scouted around
for deals, the cost to get us
all up there was exorbitant.
So, in a last minute decision,
we decided to divide
and conquer and send only
half of the family away
– my hubby and our two
eldest will spend a week in
Hawkes Bay, while I will
stay at home in Christchurch
with the twins.
Splitting the family for
holidays is not something
that I had ever envisaged,
but on reflection, it’s possibly
the best scenario in this
current stage of our lives.
While there is only a
four-year gap between
our eldest and youngest,
it’s considerable when it
comes to what we can do
as a family. Most activities
revolve around catering to
the lowest-aged denominator,
which means most of
what we do is based on
what a two-and-half year
old can handle.
This can sometimes lead
to frustration for our five
and six year old girls, who
are now at an age when
they are seeking to challenge
themselves further in
their everyday play.
So, when we were
presented with the idea
of dividing our family for
these holidays, it seemed
the best solution for everyone.
And with the break
now upon us, our big girls
are super excited about the
adventures ahead.
They will spend one
week on the farm with
their Dad, enjoying long
walks in the hills, tree
climbing, helping with
the animals and exploring
down at the creek.
They have movie and
theatre dates planned with
their cousins; birthday
parties and road trips to
visit their great-grandmother,
and no doubt, late
nights and impromptu
high-jinks that come with
being on holiday. They will
have flexibility, last-minute
options and no doubt will
extend themselves to their
limit.
That’s not to say the
twins and I won’t have
our own fun either. I will
be able to focus on the
age-appropriate activities
that I know they will love
doing – Tumble Times,
the museums, various
playgrounds around the
city, and otherwise, simply
wandering at the pace and
direction of two curious
toddlers.
I’m looking forward to
unstructured days without
drop-offs, pick-ups or
after school activities. Our
days will be filled with
slow and unplanned play,
pottering and spontaneous
adventure that I know
my Twiglets will love and
enjoy.
To that end: I think these
holidays will be a great hit
for everyone.
We will miss each other
terribly though. Skype
nights have already been
scheduled, and the big girls
have already made plans
for the fun they will all
have once they are reunited
with their little sisters.
Until then, it’s going to
be a quiet house – cooking
for three and having only
two kids to look after will
be quite a change. In that
sense, I guess a change will
be as good as a holiday!

Ever wondered
who is cooking
your food when
you go out to a
cafe or restaurant?
The Star continues
its series talking
with chefs.
Bishop Brothers
head chef –
Kathryn Ahu.
Up for any challenge
at work or home
• By Gabrielle Stuart
KATHRYN AHU was head chef
running her own kitchen before she had
even finished studying.
She was 19 and working at a hotel in
Hamilton, when the head chef and sous
chef both stood down at once.
“The owner asked me if I wanted to
step up as head chef. I said: ‘Well, let me
just go home and talk to my parents’.”
After two years running the kitchen
she took a step back to accept a sous chef
job at the Hamilton Belgian Beer Cafe.
But within a year and a half she was
head chef there, this time running two
restaurants.
Moving to the top so fast meant she
had to learn quickly, but she said it also
kept her humble.
“I scrub my own rangehood and sweep
and mop the floor, so I would never ask
my staff to do something I wouldn’t do
myself. I think we’re all a team.”
About 12 years ago, she moved to
Christchurch, “following a man”.
Although the relationship didn’t work
out, she fell in love with Canterbury.
Taking a job at the Christchurch Gondola
Pinnacle Restaurant helped, as she
said the views were absolutely beautiful –
although nature could also be a problem.
“Sometimes you’d get a call saying you
have to get down in 10 minutes or you’ll
be stuck, because the wind’s picking up.
Once we did get stranded and had to
walk down.”
The challenges in her next role at Cafe
Izone in Rolleston were quite different –
attracting people to an industrial area,
creating a family-friendly menu and
mastering stonegrill.
But it won Best New Restaurant in the
first year open, and she said it grew in
popularity from there.
She started in March at the newlyopened
Bishop Brothers Public House, at
the former Farrington’s Tavern site.
She said the owners wanted to “step it
up a little, restaurant style”, while keeping
the suburban, homely flavour and
reasonable prices.
It was a challenge she was up for.
She said it was her love for food that
drove her, and her enjoyment of experimenting
with different flavours and
ingredients, both at work and at home.
“A lot of people say no, I don’t cook at
home, but I say if you have a passion for
cooking why wouldn’t you?”
With a partner who worked as a personal
trainer and was ex-army, she said
a lot of the meals she cooked after work
were big and hearty.
She enjoyed being part of rebuilding the
hospitality scene in Christchurch, but said
it was sad to see how much had been lost.
“You can always open another Mexican
restaurant or Italian restaurant, but
knowing people who have lost everything
is the sad thing.”
She said the way people dined out in
Christchurch had changed.
“I suppose it’s a comfort, when you can
go out and have a really lovely time and
enjoy your meal. I think we’re enjoying
life a bit more, because it was a huge
shock to the system that in a matter of
minutes something can be taken from
you so fast.”

Wales, when he spotted a tree he
couldn’t identify.
And what unfolded was the
discovery of a tree thought lost, for
hundreds of years.
This rare plant is happy in most
spots in the garden and is adaptable
to life in a large tub or pot; it would
make the perfect Christmas tree and
the ultimate gift for the gardener who
has everything.
These special plants don’t come
along every day, so treat yourself or
your garden with a piece of botanical
history.
VEGETABLES
Broad beans are cool customers that thrive
in the winter months. It’s a little too late
to sow seed now, but fat seedlings are
in the shops. Plant in a spot away from
strong winds, or if you have large planters
or containers, jam heaps in so you can be
feasting on them for Christmas. Harvest
yams now the frosts have sweetened up
the flavour. Once dug up, wash off any
soil and allow them to dry before storing
somewhere dry and dark. Keep a few of the
fattest ones for planting out in spring for
next year’s crop. The same goes for Jerusalem
artichokes. Now the stalks have died down, lift
them and store in the same way as yams.
STRAWBERRIES
Did you know the coldest months of the year
are when strawberry plants are initiating
fruiting buds for the upcoming season? The
cold temperatures trigger the development
of the fruit buds. This is one of the main
reasons strawberries are planted over winter,
to maximise the fruiting capacity. For existing
strawberry beds, remove any runners and
pluck off all dead-looking leaves, replenish the
soil with strawberry food and tuck new layers
of straw around each plant to keep the soil
weed-free and the fruit clean.

IN FLOWER NOW:
WINTER ROSES
Hellebores are strutting their stuff for
the next few months. These winter
wonders are happy nestled under trees,
in pots and tubs; anywhere really, as
long as they have a little protection from
intense sun in summer. A new one to
look out for is ‘Camelot’, with its large,
pearly white, flat blooms with just a
hint of green. Great for a spot in need
of extra winter interest and summer
foliage. Wintersweet is just bursting
with punchy perfume now, too. Even
the smallest of sprigs picked and put in
a small vase indoors with permeate the
room.
WINTER HANGING
BASKETS
Baskets are not just for summer, they
are great value all year round. Always
freshen up the potting mix before
planting anything new. This time of
the year the small flowering violas
make a brilliant show. Team them
up with fairy primulas or herbs, like
parsley, for something different. And
place the basket somewhere it can be
viewed from both inside and outside.
If you have any bulbs left over,
tuck them up into the roots of the
bedding plants and, in a few months,
they will add the final hurrah of
flowers in spring.

Model search finalists announced
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PORTFOLIO MODEL Agency
has announced its nine finalists
for the Portfolio Model Search
2016.
The competition through
Facebook and Instagram was an
opportunity for aspiring models,
aged between 14-21, to be
scouted by the agency.
The finalists are Elysha De
Rybel, Eva Calje-Van Der
Klei, Leanna Elliott, Charlotte
Sullivan, Michaelee-Jayne
McDonald, Sophie Richards,
Shannon Middlemiss, Holly
Mccann and Paris Thorman.
Each contestant was required
to send in a photo of themselves
which were judged by agency
director Mel Radford Brown
and the agency’s model booker
Rebecca Dore.
The winner of the competition
will be announced next Tuesday
after the agency has met each
contestant in person.
Portfolio is an established
agency in the city that provides
a professional representation of
models and actors for both the
local and international stage.
The winner of the competition
will receive a portfolio teenage
workshop valued at $299 and
a Clemency Alice Facialist
“modern facial” valued at $105.
The winner will also receive
one free dress hire from clothing
companies maryoutram.com
and Borrowed By Mary as well
as an opportunity to appear in
the next Kristen Stewart School
of Make-Up photo shoot.
Agency director Mel Radford-
Brown said the reason the
competition is run is because
Christchurch is a “fantastic
scouting ground”.
“Beauty is very unique and
that is why we want to meet each
girl we want them to have the
confidence as well to go with
their look”.
Mrs Radford-Brown said due
to the standard competition
being so high they may offer a
second and third prize.
“I am looking at about four of
them who will sign. We will be
offering contracts for sure.”

Evening DJ’s Kiwi rock fetish
The Star continues with its monthly profile of
Plains FM broadcasters. Today we feature
Garry Thomas
BY DAY Garry Thomas wears
a suit and has a role in human
resources at Ara Institute of
Canterbury.
When his working day is
finished, he indulges in his
love of the arts, entertainment
and music by concocting and
presenting the weekly radio
programme Detox Mans!on
under his nickname – Gaz.
Named after a Warren Zevon
song, Detox Mans!on has a “noformat
format” with a strong
New Zealand flavour. It includes
a local gig guide canvassing the
wider performing arts and entertainment
scene, reviews and
interviews.
“The Bats are my all time fav
Flying Nun band, but there are
so many others that had a brief
moment of fame that I enjoy.
My ideal Kiwi musicians’ dinner
party would include The Bats’
Robert Scott, Marlon Williams,
Nadia Reid, Adam McGrath
from The Eastern and Chris
Knox. That would be a cracker
Kiwi night!”
So how has he kept his show
going for nine years?
“Since first going on air back
in June 2007 I’ve continued to refine
the show, and my approach
to it, is to keep it fresh” he says.
“I’m also involved in the local
theatre scene so Detox Mans!on
meets those creative needs.
I try to have fun and I hope
that’s evident in the finished
programme. The support provided
by the Plains FM team
is awesome, and really does
make producing this show super
smooth and easy.”
Although a labour of love, the
show has also given this music
fanatic some practical skills and
an opportunity to learn multitrack
digital editing to record
continuity voice breaks. He uses
wry humour and sound effects to
create a raft of interesting audio
elements to introduce special
features and flesh out the overall
sound.
This creative flair led to him
being a finalist in the access
radio category for the NZ Radio
ROCKER: Garry Thomas’ Plains FM show has a strong Kiwi
flavour.
Awards in 2010 and he has no
shortage of material to draw
on.
“I tend to buy one or two CDs
a week, so it’s a pretty extensive
collection. I don’t buy vinyl any
more, but I still have my pre-CD
collection, and still play vinyl at
home.
“I think my first LP was The
Beatles (White Album) or maybe
Creedence’s Green River. If I had
to pick my top five albums of all
time they would be Astral Weeks
(Van Morrison), Who’s Next
(The Who), IV (Led Zeppelin),
Doolittle (Pixies) and Aladdin
Sane (David Bowie).”
So says this highly motivated
and creative music lover who
ends each show with “so keep on
rocking while you still can.”
And he sure does every week
on air.

Singers Las Vegas-bound Pre-teen, ad-lib
show for all ages
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
SHARING A love for creating
songs using only their voices
has led a mother and daughter
to travel to Las Vegas for an
international barbershop quartet
battle.
Hazel Hay and her daughter
Catriona, 21, will travel to the
Sweet Adelines’ international
competition and convention to
compete in October.
They will attend the event
with fellow quartet members Sue
Davis and Jane Martin.
The group, known as Aftershock,
received a wild-card entry
into the international competition
after coming second at the
regional Sweet Adelines’ New
Zealand concert held in Wellington
earlier this year.
“They take the 10 highest
scores throughout the world and
we were the sixth highest,” Mrs
Hay said.
And the barbershop quartet
already has a number of achievements
under their belt.
A survey, completed by online
resource barbershophistory.com
on June 1, ranked Aftershock
as number 37 out of the top 50
Sweet Adelines’ quartets in the
world.
When the quartet competed
for the first time in the Sweet
HARMONY: Quartet group Aftershock (from left), tenor Jane
Martin, bass Hazel Hay, lead singer Catriona Hay and baritone
Sue Davis performing at a regional quartet concert at the
Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington earlier this year. ​
Adelines’ international competition
held in Houston in 2011,
Catriona was only 16 – one of
the youngest leads to compete at
the time.
Mrs Hay said Catriona joined
the Christchurch City Chorus
when she was nine which is very
unusual.
The family along with Mrs
Hay’s husband and two other
daughters moved to the city from
Scotland in 2003 along with her
husband and two other daughters
looking to start a new life.
In 2004 Mrs Hay and her
daughters joined the Christchurch
City Chorus.
Following the September
earthquake “Aftershock” was
formed.
Both Mrs Hay and Catriona
said it is very special they will be
competing together overseas.
“It is a bit nerve-racking but
my head is so competitive. I
am so excited about it really,”
Catriona said.
The Early Early Late Show
Directed by Dan Bain
Reviewed by Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
IF YOU know a quick-witted,
natural-born storyteller about
to delve into their teenage years
then the Court Theatre’s Early
Early Late Show will be right up
their alley.
Being in my late teens I was
curious to see what it would be
like to go to a show designed to
cater for pre-teens.
I found I had a great appreciation
for how the performers
could transform a simple word
shouted from a merry audience
of young, and not-so-young, into
a full-scale story.
Created by the city’s renowned
Court Jesters, the show is fully
improvised by four astute
actors – Emma Cusdin, Daniel
Pengelly, Tara Swadi and
Brendon Bennetts.
The show is based on a mysterious
“Boss” who had left a set
of instructions and a suitcase of
clues which are whipped into
scenes by his employees – The
Court Jesters.
That’s right, all songs and
scenes in the show are made-up
on the spot and are accompanied
by the pianist Nicky Marshall.
Mr Marshall unintentionally
becomes the star of the
show when he is inflicted with
a coughing fit which the Court
Jesters professionally spin into
one of their stories.
Other highlights included a
rap out of words rhyming with
“cat”, a horror story at McDonald’s
and one performer having
make-up applied by an audience
member acting as his hands.
One cannot forget the catchy
song Never Too Much Make-Up
summarising the entire show
at the end – I still have the tune
stuck in my head.
Any child will get a kick out
of this delightful show but if you
know any child with a flair for
storytelling, bring them along
because they will be left inspired.

Travel
Live like a local in Beverly Hills
• By Mike Yardley
HEADING WEST from the
heart of Hollywood, sample the
salubrious flavours of Beverly
Hills like a local.
I love strolling through the
palm-fringed, gently curved
streets, where the berms are
clipped to precision, and where a
discreet network of service lanes
between the vast ranks of trophy
houses and movie star mansions
eliminates the need to wheel your
rubbish bin out to the kerb.
Yes, best appearances are everything
in Beverly Hills. Take the
opportunity to venture into the
glittery neighbourhood of West
Hollywood, where the playful
street art lends itself to the Instagram
age.
Put yourself in the picture
amongst the parade of snapfriendly
murals draping oh-so
trendy Melrose Ave. But LA’s most
instagrammed spot is the installation
outside the LA County
Museum of Art. Chris Burden’s
Urban Light brings together 202
cast-iron antique street lamps
from across California, which
have been painstakingly restored.
Synonymous with LA trendiness,
Melrose Ave doesn’t just
flourish in the arts, but in fashion
and food. I really like the stretch
east of Fairfax Ave, which serves
up a heady mix of indie boutiques,
vintage stores, tattoo
parlours and lively cafes.
For upscale tastes, head further
west, where you’ll run into signature
boutiques including Rebecca
Minkoff, Vivienne Westwood and
Ron Herman.
But you’ll really need to hang
on to your wallet for the ultimate
hotspot in glamour shopping,
Rodeo Drive and the Golden
Triangle. It’s a shining reminder
why 90210 is still the most prestigious
zip code in the United
States. Burberry, Gucci and Saint
Laurent have all recently unveiled
new or refreshed flagships on
Rodeo Drive.
Across the road on Wilshire
Boulevard, check out the sweep
of luxury retail titans that stand
shoulder to shoulder – Saks Fifth
Avenue, Barneys New York and
Neiman Marcus.
Overlooking Rodeo Drive, a
dream spot to toast your day’s
discoveries is to enjoy a cheeky
cocktail and dinner at The Blvd
Restaurant and Lounge, at the
Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Yes, the
hotel made famous by Richard
Gere and Julia Roberts in Pretty
Woman.
The legacy lives on with the
signature cocktail list headlined
by The Gentleman and Pretty
Woman. Both are vodka-based
with cranberry juice, although
The Gentleman includes Captain
Morgan passionfruit and jalapeno
infused Ultimat vodka. Splendid
mixology!
Chic and sophisticated,
the restaurant’s lofty crystal
chandeliered ceiling and large
windows complete the sense of
grandeur.
The following night, I headed to
The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Old
World Hollywood charm meets
sophisticated contemporary
cuisine at the recently refreshed
restaurant, The Belvedere.
It’s a power lunch favourite, but
I plumped for dinner which is a
graceful, low-key affair. Monkfish
Osso Bucco was my entrée, served
with charred spanish octupus,
confit potato and tanaka.
I couldn’t resist the chance to
devour a plate of freshly shucked
pacific and atlantic oysters. (The
Atlantic boys are definitely bigger.)
For my main, I plumped for the
28-day dry aged bone-in-rib with
cippolini onions. It was simply
divine. Beautifully presented fresh
and flavourful cuisine, and you’ll
be royally treated by the charismatic,
chatty restaurant staff.
Hip, high-end and in a primo
location, AKA Beverly Hills delivers
an extraordinary residentialliving
experience.
Blending contemporary style
with impeccable hospitality,
you’ll relish the supreme sense of
comfort and spaciousness in your
fully appointed luxury suite.
No boxy, cramped hotel rooms
here – it’s the ultimate home away
from home.
A fabulous touch is the inhouse
20-seat cinema, fitted out
with oversized leather reclining
seats, where you can watch a film
of your choice. My favourite
space is definitely the terrace
lounge, an al fresco elevated affair,
clad in palm trees and cozy
outdoor fire pits.
It’s the perfect spot for a cheeky
sundowner, as the twinkling
lights of Hollywood Hills and
the famous Hollywood sign
illuminate the night. Beverly Hills’
legendary Spago, from master
chef Wolfgang Puck, is right next
door.
Spago’s recently recreated menu
is winning plenty of accolades.
Whether you wish to dine in the
restaurant or in-suite, Spago’s
culinary experience is a must.
They’ve recently introduced a
small plates menu adding to the
high-end conviviality. For fussfree
fare, their pizzas and pastas
are a massive hit.
Savouring cuisine from Spago

Now that’s really living like a

the numbers can’t be

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

Vatuvei to return for Warriors against Manly
MANU VATUVEI will return
to the Warriors side for this
Saturday’s match against Manly,
after more than a month out of
action.
Vatuvei, who is one touchdown
away from reaching 150 NRL
tries, comes back into the team
at the expense of Tui Lolohea
who drops back to the interchange
bench.
It means that Vatuvei and Ken
Maumalo will be teamed up on
the wings for the first time since
last August for the match in
Perth.
The 30-year-old Vatuvei has
been sidelined since a hamstring
injury forced him off the field
early in the second half of the
50-14 win over Newcastle on
June 11.
Maumalo has filled Vatuvei’s
regular spot on the left wing in
the Warriors’ last three matches,
against the Sydney Roosters,
Cronulla and Gold Coast.
The reunion of the two giant
wings comes more than
13 months after they were first
used together, ironically when
the Warriors were last in Perth
facing the Rabbitohs in June last
year.
Aside from Lolohea’s shift,
there are two changes to the
starting pack used in the 27-18
win over Gold Coast.
Captain Ryan Hoffman is
back after a virus prevented him
playing in Simon Mannering’s
250th NRL game, while Albert
Vete (hamstring injury) has been
ruled out.
His absence sees Ben Matulino
and Jacob Lillyman named as the
starting props.
Charlie Gubb, who started at
loose forward against the Titans,
switches back to a five-man
bench alongside Lolohea, Sam
Lisone, Bunty Afoa and James
Gavet.
Gavet, in line for his seventh
NRL outing of the year, has been
impressive for the reserve grade
side over the past month.
The Warriors take an 8-8
win-loss record into Saturday’s
contest. With eight rounds to
go in the regular season they’re
seventh on the table on 20 points
while the Sea Eagles are 13th on
14 points.
Kick off is at 7.30pm NZT.

Tech look to reclaim title
• By Gordon Findlater
ONE CHRISTCHURCH club
will remain in the Chatham Cup
after this weekend’s round of 16.
Universities will host Christchurch’s
top club Cashmere
Technical on Saturday in a David
v Goliath-like match. Cashmere
occupy top spot in the Mainland
Premier League, while Universities
are 27 points behind and
currently sit second-to-last in the
league.
Cashmere coach John Brown
knows Universities can’t be
taken lightly, after handing Tech
a 2-4 defeat in May.
“Robbie [Barraclough], their
coach, has them set up well, especially
against us. We defeated
them at the weekend, but they
had three or four key guys out
with injury,” said Brown.
Universities has done well to
get to this stage of New Zealand’s
most illustrious knockout
football competition, accounting
for Nomads United 3-2, Halswell
United 1-0 and Richmond Athletic
3-0.
“It’s a position the club’s never
been in before, so that’s pleasing.
I guess to some degree we’ve had
an easy draw. In recent seasons,
EYE ON THE PRIZE: Cashmere Technical are looking to
reclaim the Chatham Cup, which they last won in 2014.
we’ve always seemed to get Tech
first up, but the guys have done
a great job to get to where we
have,” said Universities coach
Robbie Barraclough.
Universities went down to
Tech 8-1 on Saturday. They
haven’t won a game in the league
since May 7 when they defeated
Tech, but remain optimistic.
“We seem to play our best
football when there’s no pressure
on us. It’s a David versus Goliath
battle. We’re not expected to
win, but as we’ve previously
shown, we do like that underdog
status and we’ll be trying to
use that to the best of our ability,”
said Barraclough.
Tech will look to make their
fourth straight Chatham Cup
quarter-final in a row. Tech won
the competition in 2013 and
2014. They also made it to the
last eight in 2015 before being
eliminated by Eastern Suburbs.
Former All White and Wellington
Phoenix player Ben
Sigmund has joined up with his
boyhood coach John Brown and
has made an immediate impact
since joining the club mid-way
through the season.
“We’ve been playing him as an
attacking mid-fielder. He’s got
the skill to play anywhere. He’s
the sort of guy that galvanises a
team, him and Aaron Clapham
have great chemistry in midfield,”
said Brown.
There’s a strong chance that
Tech could make a run at both
the men and women’s elite
knock-out competitions.
Tech’s women’s team will play
Dunedin club Rosyln Wakari
AFC in the quarter-finals of
the New Zealand Women’s
Knockout Cup – the women’s
equivalent of the Chatham Cup.
After making it this far, Tech
coach Megan Shea is hopeful the
team can continue its run.
“Over the last five years that
I’ve been involved, we’ve never
made it past the Christchurch
region. We usually get knocked
out by Coastal Spirit, so it’s nice
to make it this far,” said Shea.
Tech has put together a strong
side this season with the likes of
Football Ferns Annalie Longo
and Meikayla Moore in their
ranks. Saturday’s game against
Rosyln Wakari AFC kicks off at
Garrick Park at 12.30pm. The
Chatham Cup match between
Universities and Tech kicks off at
Ilam Fields at 2pm on Saturday.
In Brief
UNDER-17 NETBALL
Christchurch will field two
teams in next week’s under-17
New Zealand Netball Nationals
at the North Canterbury
Netball Centre in Rangiora
from July 18 to 21. Christchurch
A will meet North Harbour
2, Nelson, Horowhenua and
Eastern Waikato in the pool
round, while Christchurch B
will meet Dunedin, Auckland
2, Waitakere 2 and Kapiti.
CRUSADERS YOUTH
The under-18 Crusaders will
play the under-18 Hurricanes at
AMI Stadium on Saturday. The
match will serve as a curtainraiser
to the Super Rugby
game between the Crusaders
and Hurricanes. The curtainraiser
kicks off at 2.30pm. The
under-18 Crusaders squad
was selected at the Crusaders
Knights Academy camp held
this week at St Andrew’s
College. Around 60 players
attended the camp. The camp
was run by Canterbury NPC
coaches Scott Robertson and
Joe Maddock. The New Zealand
Secondary Schools squad
selectors also attended and will
have an eye on this weekend’s
game, as they pick a team to
play Australia later in the year.

Crusaders to target Hurricanes scrum
THE CRUSADERS will
target the Hurricanes scrum
and an untried new midfield
combination in Saturday’s high
stakes contest in Christchurch.
The Hurricanes lineout was
able to successfully disrupt the
Waratahs last weekend, but in
turn the home side put heat on
the visitors’ scrum, and now
tight-head prop Chris Eves has a
cut ear and possible concussion,
which could rule him out of the
final round match-up.
The Crusaders are lying in
wait with a clutch of All Black
front-rowers.
Willis Halaholo was solid at
second-five, aside from his high
shot on Bernard Foley, which
earned a trip to the sin-bin. His
midfield partner Matt Proctor
limped off after 25 minutes with
a hamstring injury, so his place
will likely go to Ngani Laumape.
Crusaders centre Ryan Crotty
will make them earn their keep.
The All Black has a low mistake
rate and runs good attacking angles,
as he showed with two tries
in the Crusaders’ 85-24 shellacking
of the tackle-shy Melbourne
Rebels last weekend.
Adding to the Hurricanes
concerns will be the return of
talismanic captain Kieran Read.
The Hurricanes showed their
ample defensive qualities against
the Waratahs.
“The Waratahs tried to beat us
up and dominate us physically.
After half-time, they went into
that direct combat mode and we
stood up to that. Our plan was to
absorb that pressure, then move
it around, and that was successful,”
said Hurricanes coach Chris
Boyd.
“When a team comes to bully
you physically, you can stand
up or wilt. We made a collective
decision not to wilt. It was one of
our two or three best efforts this
year.”
Boyd will be hoping to say
something similar to media
at about 7.15pm this Saturday
night in what is shaping as yet
another rugged New Zealand
derby.

The biggest range of vehicles
in one location
Ford Focus ST a
worthy compromise
• By Ross Kiddie
I’VE LONG desired a 70s
two-door Ford Escort, it’s
a car I thought would be a
good retirement project,
but I’m a victim of
skyrocketing classic car
prices and decreased
availability.
The latter could be true
of other fast Ford fans,
New Zealand’s quota of the
recently-released Focus RS
has been exhausted, the
257kW, four-wheel-drive
model is hot property and,
by all accounts, deservedly
so, as it is a true performance
machine.
However, Ford has
another hot Focus, it is the
ST and would suffice for
those who want good performance
at a price that is
considerably more favourable
than that of the RS.
At $52,840 the Focus ST
is affordable, and although
its performance isn’t as
great as the RS, it equips
itself well with 184kW, and
360Nm providing the power
for a 6.6sec standstill to
100km/h time.
Power is directed through
a six-speed manual transmission
and is a frontwheel-drive
model only, and
while it certainly fits into
the hot hatchback category,
it has four-doors offering
the practicality the Focus
has as a series.
The ST gets a turbocharged,
twin-camshaft
engine which gets about
its job with strong engine
sound and character. I’m
not saying it is noisy, it’s
not, the sound is well isolated
but it is there to be
heard, the engine is angry
under load and it is a sound
that encourages throttle use,
it is pleasant to listen to.
The Focus ST is quick
through a corner, grippy
tyres (Good Year Eagle
F1, 225/40 x 18in) turn in
precisely with little steering
effort. If more lock is
required you can rely on the
tyres to bite and maintain
direction.
Sitting low, the Focus
doesn’t move around on
the suspension, therefore
gravitational changes don’t
load the tyres, nor does it
affect the way the suspension
operates in a corner; if
FORD FOCUS ST: High power engine.
uneven surfaces are encountered
there is composure
and certainty within the
steering process.
I took the test car on
a Summit Rd loop, they
are perfect roads for a
performance car. English
Fords have generally been
regarded as having supple
chassis balance and the ST
doesn’t disappoint. It also
rockets between corners
with a powerful surge and
swift retardation thanks to a
performance brake package,
through the corners it has
balance and accuracy akin
to a true sports hatchback.
• Price – Ford Focus
ST, $52,840
• Dimensions –
Length, 4362mm;
width, 1823mm;
height, 1471mm
• Configuration: Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
2000cc, 184kW,
360Nm, six-speed
manual.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.2sec
• Fuel usage–
6.7l/100km
There is a bit of torque
steer under load, it’s not
dramatic but it is there to
remind there is a lot of
power heading out the front
end. It doesn’t bother me, I
like to be reminded there is
something special under the
bonnet and the high power
flows are there to entice the
driver, everything about the
Focus ST is structured for
performance.
The hatchback also
embodies the spirit of Ford’s
Focus, the ST is still the
handy five-seater which
pleases in the everyday role
as well, but any prospective
DYNAMIC:

stance.
buyer should be prepared to
be noticed.
The ST stands out with its
bold wheels, body kit and
spoiler, while on the inside
Recaro seats not only support
the driver around the
mid-riff, but they are visual.
The test car was painted
bright yellow, well, Ford
call it tangerine, and the
inside detailing incorporated
splashes of yellow as
well.
The Focus ST is a fun
package and it comes extensively
equipped with all of
the items you’d expect today
for comfort and convenience,
and safety.
Ford claim a 6.7l/100km
(42mpg) combined cycle
fuel usage average for the
ST. Obviously, I didn’t push
as hard as I could have
done because the trip computer
was showing around
8l/100km (35mpg), when
I took the car back to the
dealership.
It will also return a
5.6l/100kmn (50mpg)
instantaneous reading at
100km/h (engine speed
2200rpm), which means
you can have some fun
without scoffing vast
amounts of fuel.
I’ve long appreciated
Ford’s sporty cars which
aren’t out of reach for
buyers who want a little
bit of performance with
their purchase. I also relate
well to the Volvo-powered
five-cylinder Focus Turbo
which, for a long period,
was one of my favourite fast
Fords.
Sadly, Ford don’t use that
engine any more, however,
that aside, the Ecoboost
series that makes up a large
part of the Ford power
plants today is widely recognised
for its efficiency and
performance.
I guess I’ll always mourn
parting with my old Escort
Sport and envy those who
I know have one parked
in their garage today. My
retirement projects will
probably lend themselves to
something far more mundane
– like painting the
house, for instance.

FINDING THE BEST
HOUSE DESIGN
FINDING THE BEST HOUSE DESIGN
The standard family home has
increased in size. Where once the
norm was three bedrooms, one
bathroom and a detached garage,
now many homes have more features yet what
do you really need?
Viewing show homes are a great way to get
ideas though it can be easy to get carried away
with the imaginative features now available in
the myriad of house designs out there and
choices will need to be made.
Before selecting a house plan, determine
your actual budget and draw up a list of needs
and wants for your new home ranking the
wants in order of preference.
Next, research building company websites
and visit their show homes or offices to see
the work they do and their house designs.
Talk to the building company representatives
to get an idea of costs for each of the plans
that interests you, remembering the figures
they suggest will be based on standard fittings
for each house plan so changes may impact
on the price.
Gather together the various designs that
you like and fit within your budget. Compare
these against your checklist, discarding any
that do not match the budget or needs then
consider how each of the remaining designs
provides for your wants. Make a short-list of
suitable designs for further scrutiny.
Housing company representatives can
help you work through this process and may
suggest ways your needs, wants and budget
can be met in one of their standard house
plans which may be adapted, or through the
creation of a new design. Your checklist will
also assist the designer when working on a
plan for you.
In your checklist, state your needs and
wants separately including a column for
suitable room sizes. Cover:
• House size desired: The more square
metre area of the home the higher the price.
What size will work best for you?
• Bedrooms: Consider the number of
people who will live or stay in the house and
other needs such as a large office space.
• Living areas: Do you want open plan and/
or a separate lounge? Would two living spaces
be used?
• Kitchen: Do you love to cook or is the
kitchen a place to prepare a quick meal? This
will influence the amount of cupboards and/
or pantry needed.
• Bathrooms: More bathrooms and wash
basins translate to more cleaning however an
extra bathroom may be justified if it avoids
morning queues.
• Garage: How many cars will be parked
on site and what garage storage needs do you
have?
• Storage: Do you need space for toys,
clothes, and other possessions and how
much?
• Laundry: Savings can be made by putting
this in the garage but will that be convenient
or would a larger laundry make life easier
especially with a large family?
With research, thought and planning you
will end up with a home that is practical and
that you love and enjoy.
difference and showcase an individual style
with the right decorating theme, and we like
to push the boundaries a little by adding
interesting pieces and features which drive a
lot of discussion and opinion.”
Horncastle Homes’ Faringdon show home
will appeal to all ages, especially families, and
those who like to entertain.
Its floor area of 201 square metres makes it
an ideal three-bedroom family home. There
is an en suite and walk-in robe recess in the
main bedroom which is a little separated
from the other two bedrooms, so ideal for a
family with older children or teenagers.
Both bathrooms have fully tiled showers
and the main bathroom is tiled to the ceiling
throughout, with the open plan kitchen living
space also tiled. The walk-through designer
kitchen has 900mm wide Bosch appliances
and generous cupboard space, while sliders
open on two sides of the living area to a large
timber deck with partial roof overhang.
There is a large separate laundry that has
good storage and bench space, a double
garage with attic stairs to a loft storage area,
gas hot water and in-slab heating, customised
joinery, an alarm system and efficient
utilisation of space throughout.
If you are in the market to build right now
or considering redecorating, then take a
walk-through of the Horncastle show home
at Faringdon, open Wednesday to Sunday,
12pm to 4pm.

MOTORING
TOYOTA RAV4 GXL
Toyota’s latest RAV4 holds its own within the highly competitive sports utility market with
its intuitive technology and added safety features according to Motoring Editor Ross Kiddie.
TOYOTA RAV4 GXL
Price
$49,990
Dimensions
Length,4605mm; width, 1845mm;
height, 1750mm.
Configuration
Four-cylinder transverse, four-wheeldrive,
2494cc, 132kW, 233Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
Performance
0-100km/h, 9.3sec.
Such is the intensity within the sport
utility vehicle market, Toyota knows it has
to up the ante to keep its line-up fresh and
competitive.
And this from a manufacturer who
almost invented the SUV; the RAV4,
alongside Honda’s CRV, were instrumental
in setting up that part of the market.
Toyota has just launched a new RAV4,
well effectively, it is major makeover,
but it bristles with the technology which
will help it maintain a solid position in
the market amidst a host of rivals. While
the technology upgrade centres mostly
around safety specification, it is still the
easy-to-understand, intuitive model which
will appeal to the young and young at
heart.
Appearance-wise, the new RAV4 has a
new grille, bumper and light assemblies,
elsewhere it shares much the same body
style as its predecessors.
The newcomer lands here in nine
models and the choice of three engines – a
2-litre petrol, 2.2-litre diesel and a 2.5-litre
petrol. The test car was a GXL specification
2.5-litre, it lists at $49,990, bearing in mind
that the entry-level model comes in at
$37,490, the range topping out at $60,990
for a Limited specification diesel.
In GXL form it gets all the new safety kit
which is labelled Toyota Safety Sense. It
includes pre-crash system, lane departure
alert with steering assist function, radar
cruise control with automatic brake
control, automatic headlight high beam,
reversing camera, emergency stop signal,
and blind spot monitoring with rear cross
traffic alert.
All grades have the benefit of further
refinement, special attention has been
made in the manufacturing process
to make the RAV4 quieter and more
comfortable on the road, and that is quite
noticeable as the newcomer reeks of
refinement and quality build.
Under the bonnet sits a twin-camshaft,
16-valve engine of 2494cc. It is rated by
Toyota at 132kW and 233Nm outputs
which combine to promote enthusiasm
and keen throttle response. The RAV4 will
cut out a standstill to 100km/h time of
9.4sec and will launch through a highway
overtake in 6.7sec.
It drives through a conventional sixspeed
automatic gearbox, bearing in mind
that the 2-litre variant utilises continuously
variable transmission. That aside, the sixspeeder
has ratios which encourage that
keen acceleration along with respectable
fuel usage figures.
The RAV4 in this form is listed with an
8.5-litre per 100km (33mpg) combined
cycle average which sat well with the dash
readout at 9.6l/100km (29mpg), and an
instantaneous figure of around 6l/100km
(47mpg) driving at a steady 100km/h
(engine speed 1900rpm).
Contributing to those respectable
figures, the RAV4 has driver-selectable
eco/sport/normal drive modes, I used
normal mostly, it has a good balance;
however, eco mode is there for those
who feel fuel economy is more important
than acceleration, while sport mode
certainly maps the engine towards higher
revolutions.
In those situations engine sound is
very subdued, it is quiet and even, when
hunting towards the top of the rev band
sound is well stifled. That can be said of
the RAV4 in total, it cruises quietly at all
speeds with barely any noise transmitted
inside, the tyres are quiet, and wind
gushes are minimised.
Good suspension is important for
Christchurch’s roads, the RAV4 soaks up
the bumps without unsettling occupant
comfort. The fully independent set-up
has spring and damper rates which cover
all the bases such as containing body roll
in a corner, and dealing with the rough
stuff. It is hard to make an SUV handle
without compromising other elements,
but the RAV4 is well balanced and handles
effectively.
It is still the quintessential wagon which
fits with the SUV concept, the cargo
carrying section is enormous (506-litres
to 1655-litres), and there is cabin space
which will easily make five occupants
comfortable. On the subject of load
capacity, the old Kiddie-family wide-screen
television failed, so into the RAV it went
and was off-loaded at the transfer station.
It easily fitted into the rear cargo section.
That is part of what makes SUVs so
popular, and while the price has crept
up over the years, you can guarantee the
RAV4 will be reliable and faithful transport
for many years, suiting well those who
don’t often change cars, nor brands.

TRAVEL 5
BRAVERY OF
GEORGE THE PIGEON
AUSTRALASIAN
BOUTIQUE TOURS
Beginning with trips to Mount Cook over
20 years ago, Christchurch based Reid Tours
now run tours throughout New Zealand and
Australia.
The New Zealand tours include iconic tours
of the South Island and New Zealand as well as
specific location and event based tours such as
World of Wearable Arts. Reid Tours have found
many New Zealand travellers have seen much
of the world, but are yet to see key parts of
New Zealand.
Australian tours began with a trip to the
ever popular Tasmania and then expanded to
include Cairns and Far North Queensland and
now Adelaide and the Murray River.
Reid Tours policy is that you should have a
memorable holiday experience, not just a long
bus trip. A large number of their clients from
across New Zealand and overseas have come
from customer recommendations which is a
testament to the quality and enjoyment of the
tours.
Careful attention is paid to the pace and
comfort of the tours. Home pickups and the
inclusion of shorter days, multi-night stays
and limiting numbers on coach tours, keeping
20 per cent of seats free, makes for a more
pleasant journey. Enjoy a Reid Tour for yourself.
When Kiwi pilot Norman Crompton and his
crew ditched their Martin Baltimore bomber
in the sea off the coast of Libya in 1943, things
looked bleak. Four men sharing two small
inflatable life rafts bobbed around in high
seas, with no food or water, or any way of
signalling rescuers.
Luckily, George, one of their messenger
pigeons, had also survived in his canister,
albeit soaked in oily water. After being cleaned
up as much as possible by the remaining crew
they attached a message to his leg giving their
location. After an initial false start on take-off,
George finally made it into the air and flew
away to cheers from the men.
George was later discovered in the local
Royal Air Force (RAF) pigeon loft over 100
miles away with the hastily scribbled message,
and the Royal Navy were dispatched to pick
up the downed airmen. This was the first time
in World War Two that a pigeon had saved the
lives of RAF airmen in the Mediterranean Sea.
George’s story is one of a series of new
displays that have just been added to the Air
Force Museum’s “Horizon to Horizon” gallery.
The Museum is constantly refreshing its
exhibits, so there’s always something new to
see on your next visit.

WINTER CHILL
Does that nip in the air make it hard to get
moving?
The less active we are, the more we feel
the cold. Now it’s easier to warm hands and
feet without venturing outdoors with a
revolutionaries new product to help you get
your blood pumping.
The Aircycle exerciser can be used while
sitting in your favourite chair and will get
your circulation going in no time. The
movement serves as a gentle awakening for
sleepy muscles and joints, that warms and
loosens them to ease them into action.
Tight, cold muscles mean decreased
mobility and make them more prone to
injury. Imagine putting a rubber band in
the freezer and then trying to stretch it over
a large box. It snaps. But warm the rubber
band slowly and it will stretch to take the
force of the pull. That rubber band is just
like your muscles in winter.
For greatest efficacy you only need to
use the Aircycle in short, frequent spells
throughout the day and evening. A few
minutes while having coffee, chatting on
the phone or watching TV will keep blood
circulating so your hands and feet remain
warm. Even just simple, small movements
keep the body running like a well oiled
machine, as one Aircycle user with arthritis
and joint problems testifies, “When I’ve
been using the Aircycle I feel as though I’ve
had a good lube. My joints are more flexible
and I can garden more easily.”

HEALTH 7
New Facilities for Older People
Burwood Hospital’s brand new ward provides greater facilities, comfort and scope for growth with the arrival of the
first hundred patients transferred from The Princess Margaret Hospital.
Seventy-year old Geoff Peach was “as snug
as a bug” on his first night spent in the new
Burwood Hospital facilities.
The day before Geoff waved good bye
to his old ward at The Princess Margaret
Hospital (TPMH) and joined fellow patient
Ken Ralfe on a bus ride to their new hospital
ward across town. They were among the first
of nearly 100 patients who were moved over
a four day period to the brand new facilities
at Burwood Hospital, which mark the
beginning of specialist older persons’ health
care in Canterbury.
The ward blocks of the recently
constructed three-storey building house
increased Older Persons Mental Health
inpatient beds, which include a seclusion
room, more Brain Injury Rehabilitation
inpatient beds, Older Persons Stroke
Rehabilitation inpatient beds, along with
a single level ward area for Older Persons
Mental Health inpatient beds, including
a high dependency room. Each floor
has shared Allied Health spaces such as
gyms and kitchens to support the patient
rehabilitation process.
Over half of the bed spaces in the new
facility are individual rooms, with the other
half two-bedded rooms, many of them
equipped with hoists. The building has been
future proofed to allow for further beds to

be added later to meet increased demand.
In addition, there is a new main entrance
reception with a café, retail pharmacy and
volunteer shop, support staff offices, a new
Radiology department.
The new hospital area was designed with
significant input from members of staff,
patients, consumers and families combined
with wide-ranging research and experiential
testing using mock-ups.
Key concepts in the design have included
the idea of wellness, the need for space
within clinical areas for family to be able
to provide support, and ‘long life, loose fit’
that allows spaces to be used for different
functions over time.
While most of the older persons’ health
wards have moved, with the remaining
corporate services moving in July, a number of
services will remain at The Princess Margaret
Hospital for several years still.
The majority of the ground floor of TPMH
main building will remain open. Seagar, the
home for adult long-term mental health, on
the ground floor of the Heathcote Building
will remain open, floors above will continue
to house Child and Family (CAF) services
and Older Person’s Health Specialist Service
(OPHSS) community teams.
Services remaining at TPMH include;
the mothers and babies unit, child and
youth mental health inpatient services, and
eating disorder services. A range of support
services, such as a pharmacist, orderlies,
maintenance, transport and equipment
stores will remain. There will be someone
at reception to help with enquiries, and the
kitchen will be operating with the café open
Monday to Friday from 7:30am-3pm.
The Addington Fire Brigade will park an
appliance and have four firefighters based in
the Riley Day Unit end of the facility, during
the day Monday – Friday.

HEALTH
BRITTLE BONES
Osteoporosis can cause great pain and immobility problems, but there is a wealth of information and
resources now available to alleviate suffering and minimise pain.
The prospect of living with fragile bones is
something we all need to be aware of.
Osteoporosis is a debilitating condition
that weakens the skeleton and makes bones
more prone to fractures, especially of the
hip, spine and wrist.
Trish Adams of the Osteoporosis Society
Canterbury, says that in extreme cases a
cough, a tight hug or a sneeze can break
a bone. Additional problems are pain,
immobility and shrinking – loss of height.
It affects both men and women,
increasingly with age, but can occur earlier
in life. For older people this can be a threat
to their independence and enjoyment of
life. Besides a broken bone being a painful
experience, other health problems such as
pneumonia can often set in while people
are immobilised. The risk of osteoporosis
fractures doubles every 7–8 years after the
age of 50, and hip fracture risk increases 40
fold between the ages of 55 and 85.
Some risk fractures can be minimised
to reduce this “silent condition” by either
undergoing regular weight bearing exercise,
maintaining a calcium–rich diet, ensuring
an adequate supply of Vitamin D, limiting
alcohol and caffeine and not smoking.
Bone mineral density is measured to
help diagnose osteoporosis. When suitable
treatment is combined with lifestyle changes,
most people are able to reduce the loss of
calcium from their bones.
Diagnosed with osteoporosis in her early
fifties Trish says with careful management
under the guidance of her doctor it doesn’t
hinder the way she lives.
“When I had my first bone scan in 1997 I
had never heard of osteoporosis before and
was interested to learn more. I participated in
a 5 year trial for Fosamax in June 1997 and the
results were positive.”
Trish no longer takes medication but
ensures a regular does of Vitamin D each
month.
While Trish admits to having the odd
fracture, a couple of broken toes, and three
cracked ribs after falling into a chest freezer to
retrieve some whitebait, she says she does all
she can to strengthen her bones.
“I just need to be aware that my bones
aren’t as strong as they used to be. After
cracking my ribs it took me a long time to be
able to sneeze, cough and accept any form of
hugging!”
Both exercise and a diet rich in calcium are
important to maintain bone strength. Even
if you aren’t able to have dairy in your diet,
calcium can be found in many other foods
like dark leafy greens bok choy, kale and
broccoli, almonds, white beans, sardines.
I have been a committee member of the
Osteoporosis Society Canterbury for many
years. I have enjoyed the opportunity of
sharing my experiences and information with
people who truly understand this condition.
The committee is a great team and
wonderful to work with. Osteoporosis Society
Canterbury is a voluntary organisation
based in Christchurch, and is overseen and
supported by health professionals who
specialise in bone health. The goals of the
society are to educate the public on risk
factors associated with osteoporosis, what
can be done to minimise the risks, and
to support the people who already have
osteoporosis.
For more information visit www.
osteoporosis.org.nz or email Trish Adams at
trish.adams@paradise.net.nz.
New members are always welcome,
whatever their age, and their next annual
general meeting will be held on 10 August at
the YMCA in Rolleston Avenue.

LAW 9
Property Ownership
There are two common legal forms of property ownership
in New Zealand to be aware of.
A majority of couples own their properties
as Joint Tenants. The significant feature
of this form of ownership is that on the
death of the first spouse, the property
automatically passes to the survivor by
way of a rule of law known as Survivorship.
It does not matter what is in your will,
your surviving partner will take the entire
property in his or her own name.
The second common form of legal
ownership where two or more people own
property together is as Tenants in common.
Quite simply, this form of ownership allows
for property to be owned in distinct shares.
The most common form is tenancy in
common in equal shares. Significantly, the
rule of survivorship does not apply and as
a consequence what happens to your share
of the property on your death depends
entirely on what you state in your will.
Life Interest Will
If property is owned by two or more
persons as tenants in common, they are
free to leave their share of the property
as they choose in their Will. Generally, a
couple will leave a Life Interest in their
share of the property to their spouse in
their Will. This is called a Life Interest Will.
Your executor or trustee administers your
estate through your will. A Life Interest Will
leaves your share of the property to your
Executor(s) / Trustee(s) with instructions
that they allow your spouse to live in the
property for the remainder of his or her
lifetime. Upon the ultimate death of the
survivor, your share of the property then
goes to the final or residuary beneficiaries
of your will.
Rest Home Subsidies
If property is owned as joint tenants, on
the death of the first spouse, the whole
property passes to the survivor. Should the
surviving spouse require either rest home
or hospital level care at a later date, they
will have to meet the Ministry of Social
Development’s criteria before qualifying for
a Residential Care Subsidy.
Because of this, many people today are
choosing to become Tenants in Common as
the surviving spouse will only own a share
of the property. Therefore, should the
surviving spouse ever require government
assistance, they need only include the
value of their own share of the property
as they enjoy only a life interest in their
deceased spouse’s share of that asset.
Timing will be critical as there are strong
anti-deprivation clauses in the Social
Security Act 1964. Any decision to change
the way you own your home must be
done in conjunction with the rules and
regulations set in place by the Ministry.
As with all areas of law, it is important
that you seek good advice from a team
who understand how this area may impact
on you.

HOME
OUT OF THE WOODS
Curator of award winning interior design blog, My Scandinavian Home, Niki Brantmark explores ten diverse
homes that personify contemporary pastoral living in her first book, In a new book, Modern Pastoral.
In upstate New York, a 19th century
farmhouse in the heart of scenic Hudson
Valley serves as an idyllic retreat for the
Billinge family. Muted grey and cream
tones combine with original flooring and
salvaged wood-paneled walls to create a
rich, natural palette throughout. Simply
furnished using handmade furniture and
vintage finds, the newly renovated warm
and inviting vacation home reflects both
its past and the serene landscape in which
it lies.
Known locally as “The Cottage”, the
white clapboard farmhouse is one of a
cluster of houses in the small village of
Freehold.
The house itself is a mixture of
disparate parts resulting from a variety
of extensions and adjustments over the
years, but despite this disjointed feel,
the Billinges were drawn to the creaking
floorboards and inconsistent fittings and
the magnificent natural light.
They instinctively knew the house could
be turned into a sanctuary in which they
could spread out, cook, entertain, and
relax on weekends and vacations - the
perfect antidote to their cramped yearround
living space in New York’s Brooklyn.
A simple colour palette of soothing
muted greys and creams were selected to
create a light-hearted feel and reflect the
serenity of the surrounding nature. The
calm colours also provide a welcoming
respite from the powerful stimulation of
big city life.
Layers of laminate, cheap wood flooring
and old brown carpet have been stripped
away to reveal the original wood floor,
giving rooms a natural, organic touch.
The north-facing kitchen (pictured
opposite) - the oldest part of the house
thought to date back to the 1860s -
has been predominantly designed for
functionality: light floods the room from
two aspects - over the sink and from a
skylight. The hardy butcher-block work
surfaces are designed to maximise
workspace and provide a practical food
preparation area for a family of keen
cooks.
The kitchen cabinets are handmade,
with some of the drawers repurposed
from discarded materials from the
previous fitments. The cabinets hide more
unsightly items such as a fridge, oven, and
pots and pans for a fuss-free look.
Meanwhile, a lakeside retreat across the
Atlantic on the Danish island of Zealand
is pared back even more for a more
contemporary take on the pastoral style
to reflect it’s origins as a 1939 grocery
store.
Reconfiguring the diminutive 60 square
meter space, which originally comprised
a warren of small rooms, the ground floor
is now one open plan space comprising
a kitchen, dining area, and living room
(pictured below). Large double doors
open out onto the deck, allowing a warm
breeze to float in during the summer
months.
Just off the living area, separated by a
set of glass doors, is the guest room. An
oak “volcano” floor ties the entire space
together, and was carefully chosen to
be able to withstand the expansion and
contraction that comes with living close
to the water, and for its raw, natural
appeal.
The home adheres to minimalist style,
yet it boasts modern comforts such
as a state-of-the-art coffee machine,
French range stove, and streamlined
kitchen cabinets. Despite this, the couple
have veered away from an entirely
contemporary look, preferring to furnish
the space with items from different eras
and parts of the world. Antique Chinese
furniture, African artifacts, flea-market
finds, and gifts from friends sit beside
designer pieces and Danish works of art.

TRAVEL
NEW
HORIZONS
An incredible world is out there
to be explored. New horizons
offer fascinating cultures,
delicious and diverse cuisine,
awe-inspiring landscapes and a
tantalising sense of adventure.
World Journeys has put together
a range of small group escorted
tours with just this in mind.
Among the new and
exciting destinations for 2017
is Madagascar, an emerging
destination with much to offer
the traveller keen on wildlife and
traditional cultures. You will be
guaranteed a warm welcome
from the friendly locals who are
an eclectic mix of Indonesian,
French, Arab and African
descent. But of course the quirky
and charming lemurs are the
star of the show!
Another new tour in 2017
is to Burma and Bhutan – two
countries with strong traditions
protected from outside
influences for many years, and
both founded on Buddhist
principles. In Burma you’ll enjoy
a luxury river cruise on the
Ayeyarwady River, visiting small
villages and the famous plain of
temples in Bagan. In Bhutan a
standout highlight will be your
visit to the spectacular Tiger’s
Nest Monastery, perched
high on a cliff face of Bhutan’s
magnificent Paro valley.
Then to South America for
the vibrant bustling city of
Cuba. With three departures
scheduled for 2017, now is the
time to visit. Traveling through
the historic cities of Havana and
Santiago plus the colonial gems
of Trinidad and Camaguey,
dining in local paladares is a
real treat where one can also
enjoy a fun salsa lesson, sample
the local rum and explore
Havana in a classic 1950’s car.
Flights from New Zealand are
included, as is tipping, which is
handled by the host, but what
people value most when they
travel with World Journeys is
the conviviality group travel
offers.
There’s company if you want
it and time to do your own
thing. Every person brings
something to the mix - there
may be a keen photographer
in the group who can give
you some tips, or an seasoned
shopper who masters haggling
in the markets.
Life-long friendships have
been forged on tour, and many
return to travel with us again.
Travel is all about exploring
new horizons, but it’s also about
sharing the experience, and
that’s the beauty of travelling
with a group.
Word Journeys make
travelling to some of the world’s
most exciting, challenging and
exotic countries all the more
achievable in a small group of
like-minded Kiwi travellers.
With a maximum group
size of 18, all tours in the 2017
World Journeys brochure are
guaranteed to depart so you can
book with confidence.
