Bid to keep cost secret Probe into<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
CHRISTCHURCH ART Gallery<br />
director Jenny Harper says the<br />
cost of public art should be kept<br />
from ratepayers.<br />
Her stance comes after it<br />
was revealed the two Gormley<br />
sculptures cost just over $1<br />
million, far more than had been<br />
originally thought.<br />
Figures released to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
under the Official Information Act<br />
show the cost of the sculptures was<br />
initially estimated<br />
at $525,000 but<br />
blew out, partly<br />
because the falling<br />
New Zealand dollar<br />
added $91,000<br />
to the purchase<br />
price.<br />
Ratepayers<br />
paid just over<br />
Jenny Harper<br />
$500,000 toward<br />
the sculptures,<br />
the Canterbury Earthquake<br />
Recovery Authority, $338,000,<br />
and about $160,000 in extra costs<br />
like transport, legal fees and<br />
installation was paid for through<br />
sponsorship.<br />
“I don’t think it’s right to be talking<br />
about the cost of these things,”<br />
Ms Harper said.<br />
She is a member of the city<br />
council’s Public Art Advisory<br />
Group, which chose to buy the<br />
sculptures and decides how the<br />
city’s budget for public art should<br />
be spent.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost of artwork should not<br />
be revealed, even if public money<br />
went into it, because the environment<br />
in Christchurch after the<br />
earthquakes was so sensitive, she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> documents also revealed<br />
that Mayor Lianne Dalziel and<br />
city councillors were not told<br />
about the total cost of the<br />
Gormley statues.<br />

‘unsafe’<br />
buildings<br />
ramps up<br />
Inspections under way<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
SITE INSPECTIONS on two<br />
of five Christchurch buildings<br />
under investigation into claims<br />
of substandard and dangerous<br />
structural engineering practices<br />
were carried out yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man who made the<br />
allegations in a sworn<br />
affidavit visited a school<br />
and a commercial<br />
premises with city<br />
council staff to point<br />
out work he said was<br />
not up to standard.<br />
But the city council<br />
yesterday refused to say<br />
what they had found.<br />
<strong>The</strong> general manager<br />
consenting and compliance<br />
Leonie Rae said she<br />
was unable to comment as it was<br />
part of the ongoing investigation<br />
Asked by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, as a result<br />
of what they had seen, would it<br />
warrant further investigation,<br />
she said: “We’re unable to comment<br />
on this at the moment as it<br />
is part of an ongoing investigation.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> allegations relate to work<br />
an unqualified welder says he<br />
carried out or witnessed during<br />
the last two years while working<br />
for a structural engineering<br />
company. <strong>The</strong> other three buildings<br />
identified include two multi-storey<br />
commercial premises<br />
and a multi-storey apartment<br />
building. Some of the buildings<br />
are now occupied.<br />
Ms Rae said the<br />
managing director of the<br />
company at the centre of<br />
the allegations would be<br />
interviewed “at the appropriate<br />
time” during<br />
the investigation.<br />
“Currently the priority<br />
of our investigation<br />
Leonie Rae is to ensure that the<br />
buildings are safe to<br />
be occupied and our focus is<br />
on investigating the allegations<br />
made by the complainant,” Ms<br />
Rae said.<br />
While an independent engineer<br />
would not be engaged at<br />
this stage, that decision would be<br />
reassessed later in the investigation.<br />

NO DOUBT I’ll be regarded as<br />
a philistine, but the public has<br />
every right to know how much<br />
they are paying for the city’s art<br />
works.<br />
It has been revealed the Gormleys<br />
cost just over $1 million (see<br />
page 1), but the disturbing aspect<br />
to it is that Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
and city councillors were left out<br />
of the loop.<br />
Art gallery boss Jenny Harper<br />
is out of touch if she thinks the<br />
cost of public art should be kept<br />
from ratepayers. After all, they<br />
are contributing to it.<br />
If that means debate and criticism<br />
for those decisions in the<br />
media, then so be it. That’s what<br />
democracy is all about.<br />
<strong>The</strong> true test will come for<br />
Dalziel. She is one of 17 publicly<br />
elected councillors, but she is the<br />
chief and her voice is the loudest.<br />
As to whether the Gormleys<br />
are worth just over $1 million;<br />
that is for the public to decide.<br />
I couldn’t possibly comment.<br />
Also today, we reveal the latest<br />
in the developing saga about the<br />
council probe into claims of unsafe<br />
work done on five buildings<br />
in the city.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw night cycle races held at Lancaster<br />
Park. <strong>The</strong> experiment on <strong>November</strong> 4, 1876, was not a success<br />
because the gas illumination was completely inadequate.<br />
Speaking of Lancaster Park, on the same date in 1989, a<br />
record crowd of 60,000 went to the facility to see Irish rock<br />
band U2. On <strong>November</strong> 6, 1830, Te Rauparaha’s war party<br />
massacred the inhabitants of Akaroa and returned to Kapiti<br />
Island. On the same date in 1852, the first Canterbury sitting<br />
of the Supreme Court was held in Lyttelton. Addington<br />
Raceway held its inaugural meeting on <strong>November</strong> 6, 1899,<br />
and that date in 1918 marked the beginning of the<br />
influenza epidemic, which eventually killed 466 people in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
TROUSER-DROPPING PRANKSTER<br />
It appears a prankster is lurking in<br />
Westfield Riccarton’s car park. <strong>The</strong><br />
man, who appears to be in his late<br />
20s, taps on the driver’s window of<br />
vehicles claiming they have run over<br />
his foot as they were reversing out of<br />
their car park. In some cases, he then<br />
says his hip was hit by the vehicle, and<br />
pulls down his pants to reveal his frilly<br />
underwear. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has been told it has<br />
happened at least five times to separate<br />
drivers, although mall management<br />
were unaware of it.<br />

Emett restaurant for city<br />
MICHELIN-STAR chef Josh<br />
Emett has confirmed his<br />
acclaimed restaurant Madam<br />
Woo will open in Christchurch<br />
early next year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> MasterChef New Zealand<br />
judge and his business partner<br />
Fleur Caulton announced<br />
on Monday the restaurant<br />
would open in the $50<br />
million McKenzie and Willis<br />
development on High St in<br />
February.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch restaurant<br />
will be the fifth location, with<br />
eateries already in Auckland,<br />
Dunedin, Hamilton and<br />
Queenstown, where the original<br />
Madam Woo opened in 2013.<br />
“We are really excited to bring<br />
Madam Woo to Christchurch,”<br />
Ms Caulton said.<br />
“Josh and I have been searching<br />
for the right location in<br />
Christchurch and believe that<br />
we have finally found it, making<br />
it the right time for us to have<br />
a presence there. I think the<br />
Dalziel lays<br />
down housing<br />
challenge to<br />
Government<br />
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has<br />
offered to take social housing<br />
off the Government.<br />
At yesterday’s council<br />
meeting she took a swipe at the<br />
Government’s management of<br />
social housing. She said it was<br />
destroying families.<br />
Ms Dalziel said the policy<br />
was damaging to communities<br />
like Aranui.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Ministry of Social<br />
Development is destroying the<br />
very essence of what makes<br />
that community work,” she<br />
said during a discussion on<br />
the council’s new housing<br />
policy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> restaurant<br />
will offer its mix of<br />
traditional Malaysian<br />
hawker food, fresh Kiwi<br />
produce and bold flavours.<br />

In his affidavit, the former<br />
employee said he was concerned<br />
the substandard work which<br />
he knew about could cause a<br />
CTV building-type disaster. He<br />
stated that, as an unqualified<br />
welder, often unsupervised,<br />
he was directed to take short<br />
cuts which deviated from<br />
the buildings’ specifications<br />
and would compromise the<br />
engineering.<br />
Issues he raised included<br />
welding K brace connection<br />
brackets one side only,<br />
gas-cutting reinforced steel<br />
while drilling through<br />
concrete plates, chemical<br />
anchor bolts not drilled to<br />
full depth, completing<br />
unsupervised welding on<br />
base isolation plates designed<br />
to reduce the impact of an<br />
pulled sticky pork with pickled<br />
cucumber, percik chicken<br />
with toasted coconut or<br />
soy sesame eggplant with<br />
red chilli dressing.<br />
Construction of the<br />
new central city restaurant,<br />
which will seat 80<br />
people, will begin this<br />
month.<br />
It will operate seven days<br />

and dinner,<br />

“substandard” work.<br />
<strong>The</strong> managing director of<br />
the company implicated is<br />
currently before the courts<br />
on unrelated serious criminal<br />
charges.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> can reveal he<br />
allegedly attempted to drive a<br />
vehicle into a woman. He has<br />
been charged with dangerous<br />
driving and assault with a blunt<br />
instrument. He has pleaded not<br />
guilty to both charges.<br />
He is due to appear in the<br />
district court later this month<br />
for a case review hearing.<br />

Christchurch will serve its<br />

Christchurch will be fitted out<br />

with construction beginning this<br />

Unsafe building investigation<br />
‘Currently the priority of our<br />
investigation is to ensure that<br />
the buildings are safe.’<br />
Ms Rae said the city<br />
council’s inspection procedures<br />
in regards to giving the green<br />
light to building work were<br />
robust and met industry<br />
standards.<br />
“Approved building consent<br />
documentation will include a<br />
building inspection schedule<br />
that identifies the different types<br />
of inspections which need to<br />
be completed at various stages<br />
of the build. This includes a<br />
final inspection to be done by a<br />
council inspector,” she said.<br />
“A code compliance certificate<br />
will not be issued without a<br />
passed final inspection.”<br />
In addition, the city<br />
council also relied on third<br />
party verification, such as<br />
construction monitoring,<br />
provided by the building’s<br />
design engineer.<br />
In Brief<br />
CHARGER CAUSES FIRE<br />
An overheating cellphone charger<br />
caused extensive smoke damage<br />
throughout a technology business<br />
in Middleton. A fire investigator<br />
said the fire was contained to a<br />
corner of the Salcom building on<br />
Magdala Pl on September 19, but<br />
smoke had done damage to stock.<br />
Salcom is a technology company<br />
which provides communication<br />
products for the fire service and<br />
a number of other emergency<br />
services.<br />
PANEL REPRESENTATIVES<br />
THree panels made up<br />
of representatives of the<br />
construction and design<br />
industries will be set up to take<br />
over from Stronger Christchurch<br />
Infrastructure Rebuild Team.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council will set up the<br />
design-build, construction and<br />
design panels under its new<br />
hybrid delivery model. While<br />
there was no guarantee of work<br />
being awarded to any panellist,<br />
their involvement in the process<br />
would allow for forward-planning<br />
of work and resourcing that<br />
improved the contract process.<br />
ASSETS LIKELY FOR SALE<br />
Stronger Christchurch<br />
Infrastructure Rebuild Team is<br />
looking at selling the small assets<br />
it has acquired before it winds<br />
up at the end of December. A<br />
spokeswoman said items such<br />
as computers, desks and office<br />
equipment that had been used for<br />
the five years SCIRT has operated<br />
could be sold through auction.<br />
INTEREST IN LAND<br />
“Various parties” are interested<br />
in developing a piece of central<br />
city land originally earmarked for<br />
a $30 million urban village. <strong>The</strong><br />
land on the corner of Madras and<br />
Gloucester Sts was meant to be the<br />
site of the Breathe Urban Village,<br />
but it was scrapped last year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re has been interest expressed<br />
in the residential demonstrator site<br />
by various parties, but until such<br />
time as a transaction is concluded,<br />
we will not be commenting on<br />
any discussions,” an Otakaro<br />
spokesman said.<br />

Former city council<br />
culture, leisure and parks<br />
general manager Michael<br />
Aitken was given the information<br />
about the costs, but<br />
removed that detail from<br />
the documents before they<br />
were given to Ms Dalziel or<br />
city councillors.<br />
He has since left the job<br />
to move to a management<br />
position at the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency.<br />
He refused to comment<br />
on what had happened, or<br />
say whether he had deliberately<br />
withheld the information<br />
from Ms Dalziel and<br />
councillors, when questioned<br />
by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> this week.<br />
Ms Dalziel has now asked<br />
for a review of all city council<br />
public art expenditure.<br />
She had not spoken<br />
to Mr Aitken about how<br />
the information was<br />
handled.<br />
Ms Dalziel said she did<br />
not expect to see the total<br />
price at the time, because<br />
the decision about the purchase<br />
was delegated to the<br />
advisory group.<br />
But the public should be<br />
told the cost of major public<br />
artwork, she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has put<br />
aside $280,000 each year in<br />
the public art fund, which<br />
the advisory group then<br />
decides where to spend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council will need<br />
to decide during the annual<br />
plan process next year if it<br />
wants to continue putting<br />
money into the fund,<br />
and she said that would be<br />
opened for public debate<br />
after the review.<br />
Ms Harper compared<br />
the public reaction to the<br />
Gormley sculptures with<br />
that to Michael Parekowhai’s<br />
“Chapman’s Homer”<br />
sculpture of a bull on a<br />
grand piano.<br />
BULL: <strong>The</strong><br />
cost of<br />
Chapman’s<br />
Homer<br />
has been<br />
revealed at<br />
more than<br />
$1 million.<br />
She revealed yesterday<br />
the cost of the bull sculpture<br />
was more than $1<br />
million, of which ratepayers<br />
contributed $300,000.<br />
It is currently sited outside<br />
the art gallery.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re had been no public<br />
outcry because the cost<br />
of the sculpture had been<br />
kept under wraps.<br />
“I think it would be really<br />
good if people focused<br />
on the long-term value<br />
of having public art. You<br />
look at the difference that<br />
public art has made in Wellington.<br />
Some things have<br />
been liked and some have<br />
been laughed at, but they<br />
have made the city a richer<br />
place,” she said.<br />

art spending sparks debate<br />
Ms Harper raised concerns<br />
about the political environment in<br />
a meeting of the advisory group<br />
in February, according to minutes<br />
of the meeting released under the<br />
Official Information Act.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re were multiple priorities<br />
within council at this time and<br />
many councillors found art problematic,”<br />
she said.<br />
But advisory group chairman<br />
and Canterbury Museum director<br />
Anthony Wright said the price of<br />
the Gormley sculptures was kept<br />
under wraps not to avoid debate,<br />
but at the request of the artist who<br />
had sold the painting to them at a<br />
discounted rate.<br />
“Obviously we want philanthropists<br />
and donors to continue<br />
to support public art projects, so<br />
respecting their wishes is pretty<br />
important in maintaining good<br />
relationships.”<br />
Former city councillor Paul<br />
Lonsdale, who was the city<br />
Bob Parker Anthony Wright Garry Moore<br />
council’s representative on<br />
the advisory group, said city<br />
councillors trusted the group to<br />
make decisions, and did not need<br />
to know the details.<br />
He said the group was able to<br />
gather funding the city council<br />
could not, so it could often match<br />
every dollar of public money it<br />
spent with three from donations or<br />
sponsorship.<br />
“I understand it (the public<br />
backlash), people have got broken<br />
homes and streets that haven’t been<br />
fixed. But this hasn’t affected any of<br />
that work. Public art is an investment,”<br />
he said.<br />
City councillors said yesterday<br />
they disagreed with Mr Lonsdale<br />
and were concerned information<br />
was kept from them. Cr Yani Johanson<br />
said he supported setting<br />
aside money for art, but the city<br />
council needed to review how that<br />
fund was being spent.<br />
“I think art is important in a<br />
city, but do you want to employ 20<br />
local artists instead to go out and<br />
commission art in local areas, or<br />
something like that?”<br />
Former mayor Bob Parker<br />
agreed the city councillors should<br />
have more oversight, because he<br />
said if it went wrong the council<br />
would get the criticism.<br />
“I guess the bottom line, really, is<br />
if it’s public money contributed by<br />
ratepayers, ratepayers have a right<br />
to know and have a say on whether<br />
it is a good idea,” he said.<br />
But fellow former mayor Garry<br />
Moore said he thought delegating<br />
the decision was the right move,<br />
although he said he wanted to see<br />
more diversity in the group making<br />
decisions.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> last people you want to<br />
choose an art project are the<br />
elected representatives. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
sometimes people around the table<br />
with an appreciation for public art,<br />
but they are very few,” he said.<br />

fund has been spent*:<br />

Council firms up anti-oil stance<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
NOT HERE.<br />
That’s the message the city<br />
council will send to the Government<br />
in its submission on the<br />
proposed deep sea oil exploration<br />
off the coast of Banks<br />
Peninsula.<br />
City councillors were to<br />
approve their submission yesterday,<br />
but decided to “strengthen”<br />
it before it was finalised to send<br />
a strong message that they<br />
were implacably opposed to the<br />
proposal.<br />
All city councillors, but Cr<br />
David East, voted in favour of<br />
revisiting the submission with<br />
Crs Sara Templeton, Tim Scandrett,<br />
Vicki Buck and Pauline<br />
Cotter to approve it.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also voted to ask Ngai<br />
Tahu and Environment Canterbury<br />
to make submissions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> block offer is a competitive<br />
tender process, run by<br />
New Zealand Petroleum and<br />
Minerals, which encourages<br />
companies to bid for exploration<br />
permits.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest offer would open<br />
a 210,884 sq km area of ocean<br />
below Banks Peninsula for commercial<br />
oil and gas exploration<br />
tenders next year.<br />
ON THE LINE: <strong>The</strong> Great-South/<br />
Canterbury Basins block the Government<br />
is considering opening up for oil and gas<br />
companies to prospect.<br />
It sits next to a marine sanctuary.<br />
Cr East said the chances of an<br />
oil spill were very slim.<br />
But Cr Buck said the proposal<br />
was “environmental<br />
and economic<br />
lunacy.”<br />
She said the<br />
country’s three<br />
main sources<br />
of income were<br />
agriculture, horticulture<br />
and tourism.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y relied<br />
on the country’s<br />
clean, green image,<br />
which this<br />
could jeopardise,<br />
she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> risks are<br />
just too revolting<br />
to even contemplate.”<br />
If there was an<br />
oil spill, the closest<br />
equipment to<br />
deal with it was in<br />
Singapore, which<br />
was a concern for<br />
councillors.<br />
Siana Fitzjohn,<br />
of Oil Free<br />
Otautahi, made a<br />
deputation urging<br />
city councillors to<br />
be the voice of “moral reason”<br />
because the public could not<br />
have its say on the proposal.<br />
“We’ve experienced the<br />
trauma of losing a city, do<br />
Book now to have your new DREAM<br />
KITCHEN by Christmas and save $1000’s<br />

we really want to invite the<br />
trauma of losing our marine<br />
eco-systems? Because I can tell<br />
you it won’t be the oil executives<br />
or the National MPs that will be<br />
clearing oil and dead dolphins<br />
off the beach.”<br />
However, in response, resident<br />
Brian Johnston said in his deputation<br />
that they were “rantings<br />
of a mad religion” and Canterbury<br />
needed the money.<br />
Cr East also said: “I’m not at<br />
all supportive of political parties<br />
and activist groups using<br />
the city council as a platform<br />
for promoting a political view<br />
point.”<br />
But Cr Yani Johanson said the<br />
proposal was “morally wrong.”<br />
Cr Glenn Livingstone agreed.<br />
“In rugby league terms, when<br />
you hit back, they call it the<br />
big don’t argue, and I think we<br />
should hit back today.”<br />

New freedom<br />
camping<br />
restrictions<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
FREEDOM CAMPING will be<br />
banned across the city for vehicles<br />
without toilets in them, and<br />
completely in five problem areas.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council decided yesterday<br />
to amend its Freedom Camping<br />
Bylaw 11 months after it was adopted<br />
due to reports of overcrowding and<br />
health and safety concerns.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes will see freedom<br />
camping banned across the city and<br />
Banks Peninsula for vehicles without<br />
on-board wastewater facilities. All<br />
freedom camping will be banned at<br />
Addington Park, Windsport Park,<br />
Lower Styx River Mouth, French<br />
Farm and Wainui.<br />
Freedom camping was originally<br />
allowed in those five areas. However,<br />
city council chief executive Karleen<br />
Edwards was forced to temporarily<br />
ban it in March due to the concerns.<br />
French Farm was immediately closed<br />
to the public due to contamination<br />
from overflowing septic tanks.<br />
As part of the bylaw review, the<br />
city council spent $19,435 on a report<br />
into the on-site wastewater systems at<br />
French Farm and Wainui.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes will come into effect<br />
on December 1, while a full review<br />
will be carried out in May.<br />

Looking for the next IT genius<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
SELWYN HOUSE School<br />
believes it could have the next<br />
Mark Zuckerberg in their midst.<br />
From next year, all pupils from<br />
the pre-school to year 8 will be<br />
taught mechatronics.<br />
It brings together science,<br />
technology, engineering,<br />
mathematics and a bit of art to<br />
teach pupils the basics of how<br />
robotic devices operate.<br />
Mr Zuckerberg invented<br />
Facebook in 2004 from his<br />
dormitory at Harvard University<br />
in the United States.<br />
Year 7 pupil Emma Cawood<br />
has really taken to the<br />
programming and said it is a<br />
huge opportunity for her.<br />
“It allows me to be creative<br />
because there is really no limit<br />
to what we can do. It has helped<br />
me with more knowledge<br />
in math and is really fun,” she<br />
said.<br />
Robotic and coding teacher<br />
Liz Fairhall said there is a<br />
massive need for women in<br />
information technology and this<br />
would provide a great pathway.<br />
“It really is going to push these<br />
girls into seeing that IT is an<br />
option as a career for them,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Pupils are so lucky today<br />

with the technologies available<br />
to them and we want them to be<br />

the most of it,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> goal of the programme is<br />
to teach the students a gradual<br />
progression of skills during their<br />
time at school until they have<br />
enough knowledge to build from<br />

‘Foot to the floor and just drive’<br />
A teenager led police on a<br />
dangerous car chase last<br />
week. He talks candidly to<br />
reporter Andrew King<br />
THE BLUE Honda Civic was<br />
parked on a street in South New<br />
Brighton, there for the taking.<br />
So 15-year-old John*, did what<br />
he says he has done many times<br />
before. He broke into it and stole<br />
it.<br />
He and his three mates blasted<br />
out to Bromley and then back to<br />
South New Brighton, where they<br />
were eventually caught, via North<br />
New Brighton and New Brighton.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were smoking cannabis<br />
and having a good time.<br />
It was not long before they attracted<br />
the attention of the police.<br />
“When I saw the cops in the<br />
rear view mirror I just put my put<br />
to the floor and took off,” John<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> this week.<br />
Several police vehicles joined in<br />
the pursuit and tried to stop the<br />
Honda. Spikes were deployed but<br />
were ineffective.<br />
John was not going to stop.<br />
“Every time they tried to stop<br />
me [police] I would drive up on<br />
the footpath to avoid them. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
was a bit of traffic that night, but<br />
DANGEROUS DRIVE:<br />
Four youths took a<br />
stolen vehicle for<br />
a joyride through<br />
eastern suburbs last<br />
week before running<br />
out of petrol and<br />
being arrested.<br />
didn’t crash into anything,” he<br />
said.<br />
A police spokeswoman said<br />
they wanted to end the pursuit<br />
quickly because of the way the<br />
vehicle was being driven on suburban<br />
streets.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pursuit last about half an<br />
hour, according to John.<br />
John said he was not concerned<br />
about the road in front of him,<br />
his focus was firmly in the rear<br />
view mirror.<br />
“I was too stoned to think<br />

about other people on the road<br />
and when you have the police behind<br />
you, you don’t really think<br />
about anything, you just put your<br />
foot to the floor and just drive,”<br />
he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y eventually stopped on Beatty<br />
St, South New Brighton, when<br />
the Honda ran out of petrol.<br />
“If I had a full gas tank, I would<br />
have been gone,” he said.<br />
Police surrounded the vehicle<br />
and pulled the teenagers out and<br />
put them in a paddy wagon.<br />
John said it was just part of being<br />
a teenager.<br />
“You know that feeling that<br />
some teenagers get these days like<br />
“f**k the world” yeah, that’s what<br />
it was like,” he said.<br />
A resident on Palmers Rd,<br />
North New Brighton, filmed the<br />
pursuit and said he couldn’t believe<br />
people could endanger the<br />
public they way they did.<br />
“I think it’s stupid, dangerous<br />
and pathetic. But to be honest,<br />
kids will be kids, but obviously<br />
their parents haven’t taught them<br />
that stealing is scum, and stuff<br />
like this is nothing to be proud<br />
of,” he said.<br />
All four involved in the chase<br />
have appeared in Youth Court.<br />
One was remanded in custody<br />
to appear next week, the other<br />
three, including John, were remanded<br />
on bail to appear later in<br />
the month.<br />
John has been given a 24-hour<br />
curfew but said the rules have<br />
done little to deter him in the<br />
past and he cannot see that<br />
changing.<br />
“If the boys have a car, I am<br />
going to go out with them. We all<br />
do similar stuff it is just us hanging<br />
out really,” he said.<br />
*John is not his real name. For<br />
legal reasons he cannot be<br />
identified.

Don’t judge a<br />
From the<br />
courtroom<br />
to the<br />
classroom<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
IT IS Judge Rob Murfitt’s<br />
job to try and see the<br />
world through the eyes of<br />
children.<br />
He has been a judge for<br />
more than 10 years, mostly<br />
working in the Family<br />
Court.<br />
Before that, he<br />
represented children in<br />
family disputes.<br />
Now the Christchurch<br />
man has written a<br />
children’s book.<br />
Claire and the Weka,<br />
written by Robbie James<br />
– Judge Murfitt’s given<br />
names – is about a young<br />
girl who gets her favourite<br />
teddy stolen by a weka.<br />
She enlists the help of a<br />
boy to get it back.<br />

book by its cover<br />
Judge Murfitt said writing the<br />
book helped him with his day<br />
job.<br />
“In a sense, it helps to keep<br />
you able to see the world<br />
through children’s eyes,” he<br />
said.<br />
“When we’re dealing with<br />
disputes about parenting, the<br />
law says that we have to look at<br />
the welfare of the children as<br />
the total lens.<br />
“It’s the child’s rights, it’s the<br />
child’s needs that come first and<br />
so I suppose in the daily routine<br />
of dealing with disputes, you do<br />
get used to doing that.”<br />
It also helped him keep a<br />
good balance in life, he said.<br />
“Whether it’s in the Family<br />
Court or the criminal court,<br />
you’re dealing with people in<br />
crisis almost all the time, so<br />
the uncomplicated innocence<br />
of writing children’s books<br />
is<br />
a really nice contrast with that.”<br />
Although Judge Murfitt<br />
spends most of his time<br />
in Family Court, he also<br />
does a share of the criminal<br />
jurisdiction – and has<br />
been known to use a more<br />
personalised approach to<br />
sentencing when appropriate.<br />
Back in 2007, a 17-year-old<br />
<strong>The</strong> Blind Care Company has been<br />
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />
for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />
have seen changes in both fashion and<br />
technology. Styles have ranged from<br />
festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />
and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />
and in every colour or pattern popular<br />
since the 1960s.<br />
Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />
Company has the expertise to keep your<br />
window treatments looking fresh and<br />
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />
appeared before him in the<br />
Hawera District Court on<br />
a disorderly behaviour charge.<br />
“He was a young man who<br />
was heading off the rails but he<br />
was waiting to join the army. A<br />
conviction was going to delay<br />
him for three months. <strong>The</strong> army<br />
was just what he needed and<br />
a delay was not going to help<br />
anyone.”<br />
So Judge Murfitt sent him on<br />
a run accompanied by police<br />
– if he could do it in under an<br />
hour, he would be discharged.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> court was in uproar<br />
cheering him on.”<br />
can be removed so that your blinds<br />
smell fresh and are restored to their<br />
original glory. <strong>The</strong> company can repair<br />
blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />
in stock. And if you want something<br />
completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />
available for purchase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company prides itself on efficient<br />
service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />
with most work taking one or two<br />
days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />
available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />
for clients. <strong>The</strong> Cashel Street location<br />
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />
and drop-off service is available. 150<br />
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />
Turns out his parents were<br />
marathon runners, he said, and<br />
sure enough he made it and was<br />
discharged without conviction.<br />
“I know that he’s done really<br />
well since then. He served<br />
overseas, settled down and he’s<br />
living a good, pre-social life.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> whole drive of<br />
sentencing is to (a) keep the<br />
public protected, but (b) to<br />
reduce the offender’s risk of<br />
re-offending and returning to<br />
court. Getting particular young<br />
men on track is best for the<br />
community.”<br />
Last week, Judge Murfitt did a<br />

St Martins School.<br />
He said it was a special place<br />

<strong>The</strong> books are available from<br />

Books, Children’s Bookshop,<br />
Whitcoulls and the Go Kiwi<br />

Regent St – and they won’t be<br />
the last.<br />
Judge Murfitt hopes to write<br />
more children’s books and, in<br />
the future, possibly a historical<br />
fiction book for adults.<br />
or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />
50 per day. That means they will come to<br />
your home or office, remove and clean<br />
your blinds on the spot and reinstall them<br />
for you.<br />
A cut-down and size alteration service<br />
is available in order that the blinds you<br />
bought are a perfect fit.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are experts in their field with a<br />
huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />
In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />
for at least 8 years, and many up to 20<br />
years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />
will work hard to make sure it gets done,<br />
including one job of 800 blinds which<br />
they completed in 4 days.<br />

Outlook brighter for red zoners<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
THE FUTURE is looking<br />
brighter for 57 property owners<br />
who have opted to stay in the red<br />
zone.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have lived for six years<br />
under the threat of being forced<br />
to leave their homes if the<br />
Government chose to use its<br />
extraordinary powers.<br />
But the new agency responsible<br />
for the future of the red zone,<br />
Regenerate Christchurch, seems<br />
to be taking a softly, softly approach<br />
and is promising to give<br />
owners “meaningful participation”<br />
in the planning process.<br />
Chief executive Ivan Iafeta<br />
said it was too early to say what<br />
might feature in the plan for<br />
each area.<br />
But he said many of the families<br />
living in the red zone had<br />
already been visited in an effort<br />
to keep them informed, and that<br />
would continue.<br />
“We recognise that when we<br />
are talking about the residential<br />
red zone, we are talking about<br />
areas immediately around<br />
people’s homes. So we are very<br />
conscious of how that might<br />
affect them and we recognise the<br />
need to be respectful of them<br />
throughout the process.”<br />
Brooklands red zone resident<br />
Lesley Griffiths said he had not<br />
been visited, but was hopeful<br />
the relationship with Regenerate<br />
Christchurch could be a positive<br />
one.<br />
When the red zone was<br />
managed by the Canterbury<br />
Earthquake Recovery Authority,<br />
he said he had received dozens of<br />
calls trying to “coerce” him into<br />
accepting a Government offer<br />
and moving.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y just about drove us nuts<br />
calling I don’t know how many<br />
times,” he said.<br />
After the deadline had passed,<br />
he said he heard nothing<br />
more, although the threat that<br />
Government powers might be<br />
used to force them to move had<br />
hung over their heads, he said.<br />
He had chosen to stay in the<br />
red zone, rather than moving,<br />
because he loved the area where<br />
his family had lived for 58 years,<br />
he said.<br />
He said the section was large<br />
and he would not be able to<br />
afford anything similar if he<br />

years, and<br />
has no plans<br />

“Our site overlooks the<br />
Brooklands Lagoon for a start,<br />
I can see out to sea. We would<br />
be stuck living in a subdivision<br />
where all the view you’ve got is<br />
of your neighbour’s fence,” he<br />
said.<br />
He said he would like to<br />
see the red zone land become<br />
space that could be used by the<br />
community, but he had no plans<br />
to move himself.<br />
“I’d take some shifting,” he<br />
said.<br />
Contamination<br />
risk forces<br />
construction<br />
of new well<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A NEW $7.4 million pump station<br />
will be built in Harewood to<br />
replace a shallow well at risk of<br />
contamination.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council will build the<br />
pump station on the site of its<br />
Harewood Nursery on Gardiners<br />
Rd, with work hoped to begin in<br />
February.<br />
It will replace the previous Harewood<br />
Pump Station, which would<br />
be decommissioned as part of the<br />
work. It was less than 26m deep,<br />
taking water from an unconfined<br />
aquifer, which put it at risk of contamination.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new pump station would<br />
also provide for growth in the<br />
north-west of the city, specifically<br />
the Upper Styx residential greenfield<br />
development area.<br />
City council three waters and<br />
waste planning and delivery<br />
manager John Moore said the city<br />
council had an agreement with the<br />
Ministry of Health to decommission<br />
its shallow wells in the northwest<br />
of the city by June 30, 2018.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new pump station will be<br />
completed by then.<br />

Devon Bond unmasked: ‘Smug<br />
Kurt Bayer reports on a brutal rapist<br />
who kept his crime a secret until he<br />
was undone after a drunken night<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
THE VICTIM of violent sex<br />
predator Devon Bond who for<br />
20 years had got away with her<br />
brutal rape, branded him “smug”<br />
and a “nasty and evil man”<br />
as he was jailed for almost 13<br />
years with a minimum term of<br />
imprisonment of eight years.<br />
Former national wrestler<br />
Bond, 49, had been released from<br />
jail in 1998 after kidnapping a<br />
North Canterbury woman with<br />
the intention of raping her in<br />
1995.<br />
But only Bond knew at the<br />
time that he had already raped,<br />
and not been caught, when<br />
he broke into a Christchurch<br />
woman’s home on May 9, 1994,<br />
and raped her at knifepoint.<br />
For two decades, Bond lived<br />
his dark secret until he got into a<br />
drunken fight with police after a<br />
boozy work night out in December<br />
2014.<br />
During his arrest, officers took<br />
a DNA sample which matched<br />
samples held at Environmental<br />
Science and Research (ESR) that<br />
were taken in 1994.<br />
Bond was then arrested and<br />
charged with the cold case rape,<br />
sexual violation and abduction.<br />
He pleaded guilty at the<br />
High Court in Christchurch<br />
in May this year to six charges,<br />
including two charges of sexual<br />
violation and rape, abduction,<br />
aggravated burglary and assault<br />
with a weapon.<br />
Last week, he was jailed for<br />
almost 13 years with a minimum<br />
term of imprisonment of eight<br />
years.<br />
During his sentencing, the<br />
court heard a harrowing victim<br />
impact statement, where the victim<br />
explained the long-standing<br />
toll his vicious assault has had<br />
on her.<br />
Since police told her last year<br />
that Bond’s DNA had matched<br />
her attack and rape, and told her<br />
that he’d been convicted for a<br />
later nasty attack, it has bothered<br />
her “just how smug [Bond] must<br />
have felt.”<br />
“You must have thought you<br />

must have got away with it,” said<br />
the victim, who has permanent<br />
name suppression.<br />
“But you didn’t. Science has<br />
caught you and there’s no way<br />
out for you.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim, who was 42 at the<br />
time of the May 1994 rape, wonders<br />
if there are other victims, as<br />
yet undiscovered, that Bond still<br />
feels smug about.<br />
She said Bond had no right to<br />
ruin women’s lives, violate her,<br />
and “change my life forever.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim wondered whether<br />
it was his ego, along with his<br />
physical size and strength, that<br />
made him think he could do<br />
what he did.<br />
She also thought he was “arrogant”<br />
and had “no empathy or<br />
regard for other people.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> sheer physical terror and<br />
the fear you created in me that<br />
night was just the start of it,” she<br />
said.<br />
“It took a long time for the<br />
sharp edges of these realities to<br />
fade just a little.”<br />
Her “new normal” means she<br />
doesn’t go outside after dark, she<br />
carries a panic alarm in her hand<br />
from car to office, restaurant or<br />
theatre.<br />
Even during the day, she is<br />
“very cautious.”<br />
“ I choose<br />

and a nasty and evil man’<br />
At the slightest noise inside<br />
or outside her home, she is put<br />
on edge, while she “really freaks<br />
out” if the telephone line goes<br />
dead.<br />
While she says Bond hasn’t<br />
ruined her life, because she has<br />
been determined that wouldn’t<br />
happen, she feels he has “stolen<br />
my freedom and rights to live a<br />
normal and happy life.”<br />
“You are a nasty and evil man<br />
who needs to be taken off the<br />
streets for the longest possible<br />
time,” she concluded.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crown pushed for a sentence<br />
of preventive detention.<br />
Prosecutor Claire Boshier<br />
described the case as “one of the<br />
most serious instances of rape<br />
that can come before the court.”<br />
She pointed to the predatory,<br />
violent nature of the attack and<br />
the fact that Bond had not yet<br />
undertaken any treatment for his<br />
sexual offending.<br />
Boshier said Bond displays<br />
narcissistic and anti-social traits<br />
and is at a medium to high risk<br />
of sexual re-offending.<br />
For the last 18 years, he has<br />
led a “pro-social life,” his lawyer<br />
Tony Greig said.<br />
Justice Gerald Nation said<br />

for the 1994 offending.<br />
<strong>The</strong> court was told of Bond’s<br />
early violent tendencies, including<br />
an instance when he set fire<br />
to a family cat.<br />
Bond was put into the care of<br />
Child, Youth and Family before<br />
the age of 10 because of his<br />
habits of stealing, vandalism and<br />
running away.<br />
Bond’s offending came shortly<br />
after the end of his wrestling<br />
career and the end of his first<br />
long-term relationship.<br />
He then drank too much, fell<br />
in with gangs, and became a<br />
standover guy for them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> judge carefully considered<br />
whether Bond should be sentenced<br />
indefinitely under a term<br />
of preventive detention.<br />
However, he said that Bond<br />
had a lot of rehabilitation work to<br />
do, and urged him to participate<br />
in a treatment programme.<br />
“You should want to do that<br />
given the serious harm you did<br />
to your victims.”<br />
Bond was born on October 28,<br />
1966.<br />
Raised in North Canterbury,<br />
he attended Rangiora High<br />
School and was well-known<br />
in the Leithfield and Waikuku<br />
beach areas.<br />

all-round sportsman, he would<br />
become a top wrestler, representing<br />
New Zealand at world championships<br />
and Commonwealth<br />
wrestling championships in<br />
Canada.<br />
But there was always something<br />
about Bond that made<br />
many people – especially females<br />
– nervous and uncomfortable.<br />
Some of the women who grew<br />
up around him found him lecherous,<br />
“creepy” and “pervy.”<br />
On April 17, 1994, he was arrested<br />
for assaulting a woman in<br />
Rangiora.<br />
In May that year, police records<br />
show he was living in New<br />
Brighton. About 1am on May 9,<br />
1994, a 42-year-old woman who<br />
had just moved into her new<br />
Christchurch home was woken<br />
by a loud click.<br />
In the darkness, she thought<br />
there had been a power cut.<br />
But the click she’d heard was<br />
Bond switching her mains power<br />
off manually in the garage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman got out of bed. As<br />
she stood in the hallway, Bond<br />
Beautiful Teeth<br />

Natural Smile<br />
burst through the internal garage<br />
door armed with a knife with a<br />
12-15cm blade. He was wearing<br />
dark clothing and a mask or<br />
balaclava over his face.<br />
“What do you think you are<br />
doing?” the terrified woman<br />
asked.<br />
“Keep quiet,” Bond said as<br />
he marched her back to her<br />
bedroom.<br />
He held the knife against her<br />
throat, bound her arms behind<br />
her back with a length of cord<br />
he’d cut from her clothesline,<br />
and put a pillowcase over her<br />
head.<br />
“Why are you doing this?” the<br />
woman pleaded.<br />
“You bitches are all the same,”<br />
Bond replied, before he sexually<br />
assaulted and raped the woman.<br />
Afterwards, he emptied the<br />
woman’s purse, ripped the<br />
telephone cord from its socket,<br />
and told her: “If I get caught, I’ll<br />
be back.”<br />
He disappeared into the night.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y nearly got him. <strong>The</strong><br />
police intelligence system linked<br />
Bond to a light-blue Holden<br />
panel van on August 3, 1994,<br />
three months after the attack. He<br />
later became its registered owner<br />
in October 1998.<br />

News<br />
Drunken night was Bond’s undoing<br />
•From page 17<br />
Two witnesses contacted the<br />
original investigating detectives<br />
to say they had seen a light-blue<br />
Holden ute parked near the victim’s<br />
house the night before. One<br />
said it was gone in the morning.<br />
A police dog handler had<br />
tracked from the woman’s house,<br />
across a farm paddock, to the<br />
exact location the van had been<br />
spotted.<br />
Muddy footprints were found<br />
inside and outside the woman’s<br />
home.<br />
While they never led to Bond,<br />
he didn’t stay under the radar for<br />
long.<br />
Every morning, Bond’s second<br />
victim, a 37-year-old woman,<br />
jogged her familiar loop through<br />
willow trees lining the Ashley<br />
River stopbank.<br />
She was unaware of a man<br />
crouched in the bushes, watching<br />
her through binoculars.<br />
Bond did this twice, hoping to<br />
see her go home and watch her<br />
undress.<br />
On the third occasion, on<br />
May 30, 1995 her route veered<br />
towards where he was hiding.<br />
Rather than be discovered, he<br />
decided to attack her.<br />
<strong>The</strong> burly wrestler leaped up,<br />
grabbed her and punched her<br />
five times in the face.<br />
She screamed as he dragged<br />
her 180m to his car, hands<br />
around her neck, telling her to<br />
be quiet.<br />
He pushed her into the car and<br />
started driving.<br />
Believing she was going to be<br />
raped, she desperately tried to<br />
get out but he restrained her.<br />
Bond stopped<br />
the car, removed<br />
her top,<br />
and used it to<br />
tie her hands<br />
behind her<br />
back.<br />
She tried to<br />
get away again<br />
but he caught<br />
her.<br />
He pushed<br />
her into the<br />
boot and drove<br />
off.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman – who, like Bond’s<br />
first victim, has permanent name<br />
suppression – untied herself,<br />
managed to release the boot<br />
lock and threw herself out of the<br />
moving vehicle.<br />
Bloodied and bruised from<br />
the attack and the fall from the<br />
speeding car, she ran across a<br />
paddock to a house to get help.<br />
Bond drove on, unaware of her<br />
escape.<br />
Police caught up with him<br />
weeks later. He admitted attacking<br />
the woman with the intention<br />
of raping her.<br />
He was jailed for nine years in<br />
July 1995.<br />
After his release from jail, it<br />
appears Bond went straight.<br />
He had a stable partner and<br />
child.<br />
‘He held the<br />
knife against her<br />
throat, bound her<br />
arms behind her<br />
back . . . and put<br />
a pillowcase over<br />
her head’<br />
Since<br />
2008, he had<br />
been a highly-valued<br />
site<br />
foreman at a<br />
Canterbury<br />
construction<br />
company.<br />
Some<br />
friends and<br />
workmates<br />
knew about<br />
his conviction<br />
for the<br />
1995 abduction. But nobody<br />
knew his dark secret – until he<br />
had too much to drink at a work<br />
night out.<br />
December 6, 2014, had been a<br />
good night. Bond and his workmates<br />
had watched a comrade<br />
fight at a charity boxing event in<br />
Hornby.<br />
Afterwards, they kept drinking<br />
at Temps Bar & Casino.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’d piled into a nearby car<br />
park where the boss was phoning<br />
taxis to take them all home.<br />
While they were waiting, Bond<br />
and a workmate started playfighting.<br />
It attracted the attention of<br />
passing police.<br />
Concerned about the group’s<br />
rowdy behaviour, they suggested<br />
the men move on.<br />
Bond and some of his mates<br />
took exception to what they<br />
viewed as being unreasonableness<br />
by police.<br />
Officers were threatened,<br />
taunted and insulted.<br />
Bond told police, “You’re<br />
f****** nothing,” “I’m going to<br />
smash you” and “I am going to<br />
kill you pig.”<br />
Two of Bond’s workmates were<br />
arrested.<br />
Bond, described as being “very<br />
intoxicated and very hostile,”<br />
lunged at an officer. During<br />
the ensuing struggle, the pair<br />
smashed through a window of<br />
the Hornby Law Centre.<br />
As both men lay on the<br />
ground, Bond then moved his<br />
left foot in a stomping action to<br />
hit the constable on the head.<br />
A judge would later find,<br />
beyond reasonable doubt, that<br />
Bond behaved in a disorderly<br />
manner, resisted arrest, and<br />
assaulted a police officer in the<br />
execution of his duty.<br />
Given he was arrested on summary<br />
offence matters, legislation<br />
introduced in 2012 meant police<br />
could take a DNA sample from<br />
Bond.<br />
It was run through the vast<br />
National DNA Profile Databank<br />
and matched samples held at<br />
Environmental Science and<br />
Research (ESR) that were taken<br />
in 1994.<br />
His past finally caught up with<br />
him.<br />
When he was interviewed<br />
by police in February last year,<br />
Bond said it was all “bulls***”<br />
and refused to comment further.<br />
On the morning his trial was<br />
due to start at the High Court in<br />
Christchurch on May 2, Bond<br />
entered guilty pleas.<br />
Friends and workmates had<br />
been in court to support a friend<br />
they thought had been wrongly<br />
charged.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were stunned when Bond<br />
suddenly admitted to being a<br />
predatory rapist.<br />
“It was total shock. He’d<br />
always said it was lies . . . and we<br />
all believed him. He deserves<br />
everything coming to him,” one<br />
former friend said. - NZ Herald<br />

Broader regeneration<br />
remains in full swing<br />
CANTERBURY’S earthquakerelated<br />
consents have totalled<br />
$3.9 billion since September<br />
2010.<br />
Last month alone, the value<br />
of Canterbury’s earthquakerelated<br />
building consents was<br />
$41.3 million.<br />
Figures released by Statistics<br />
New Zealand this week showed<br />
in the year to September,<br />
almost 30,000 new homes were<br />
consented nationwide – up<br />
14 per cent from the previous<br />
year.<br />
In Canterbury, while not all<br />
earthquake-related building<br />
are easily identified, 31,505 new<br />
dwellings have been consented<br />
in the last six years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> total value of these<br />
consents is almost $19 billion.<br />
In spite of a decrease in<br />
the number of new homes<br />
consented last month in the<br />
region, figures remain at<br />
historically high levels.<br />
While the bulk of earthquake<br />
repairs and rebuilds have now<br />
been completed, the broader<br />
regeneration remains in full<br />
swing.<br />
It’s not just new homes that<br />
are being built. <strong>The</strong> commercial<br />
core of Christchurch is<br />
continuing to benefit from<br />
significant investment.<br />
In the last 12 months,<br />
Canterbury contributed the<br />
second highest value of nonresidential<br />
building consents,<br />
valued at $1.6 billion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> steady pace of the<br />
earthquake recovery has helped<br />
prolong the economic benefits<br />
of the rebuild, rather than<br />
producing a boom and bust<br />
effect.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Earthquake Commission,<br />
New Zealand’s natural disaster<br />
insurer, has paid out about $9.4<br />
billion settling Canterbury<br />
claims.<br />
In a commercial sense, the<br />
vast majority of investment in<br />
Christchurch has so far been<br />
Gerry Brownlee<br />
from local and national<br />
sources, which I view as a major<br />
success.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has been international<br />
capital flowing into<br />
Christchurch too, including<br />
recently with the Christchurch<br />
Adventure Park and the health<br />
research and education facility<br />
in the city’s new health precinct.<br />
In May, Treasury estimated<br />
the volume of investment<br />
associated with the residential<br />
rebuild was about $15 billion<br />
and about $9 billion so far for<br />
the commercial rebuild.<br />
<strong>The</strong> social and infrastructure<br />
rebuild estimate is $11 billion.<br />
Around $28 billion of the<br />
rebuild is expected to be<br />
finished before June 2020.<br />
Gerry Brownlee is<br />
Minister supporting Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
We said:<br />
Former Labour MP Sir<br />
Kerry Burke and his<br />
former wife Faimeh Burke<br />
spent nearly $25,000 on<br />
taxpayer-funded travel<br />
in the past financial year.<br />
Christchurch-based Sir<br />
Kerry was the biggest<br />
spending former MP<br />
claiming $16,147 in<br />
travel while Mrs Burke<br />
claimed $8265. Mrs Burke<br />
unsuccessfully stood for<br />
the city council in the<br />
recent local body<br />
elections.<br />
You said:<br />
Neil Stuart – He’s not<br />
working so shouldn’t be entitled<br />
to it. Most likely all he needed to<br />
do while working was vote a few<br />
times woop dee doo. Time to put<br />
pressure on and get it changed.<br />
Lack of pay increases is not a<br />
decent reason to keep it or we<br />
would all get paid long after we<br />
finish our jobs<br />
Maree McNeill – <strong>The</strong>y need<br />
to change and stop a lot of their<br />
perks.<br />
Jo Hart – <strong>The</strong> ‘rules’ need to<br />
change!<br />
Marcus Isbad – Shameful<br />
but they don’t care what we<br />
think. <strong>The</strong> old boys make the<br />
rules to fill their pockets.<br />
Denise Amesbury – So glad<br />
she never got voted in, with an<br />
attitude like that to public money,<br />
it’s a lucky escape.<br />
Colleen Gee – It should not<br />
be allowed, once you leave that<br />
should be it, no more taxpayers<br />
money!<br />
Marc Tyron – Rules are rules.<br />
We have changed them and fixed<br />
them but they are entitled to<br />
these perks.<br />

$165,000 plan to manage old trees<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
ABOUT $165,000 will be spent<br />
developing a plan looking at<br />
ways to mitigate the effects of<br />
the city’s ageing tree population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council decided to<br />
write an Urban Tree and Forest<br />
Plan to plan how to manage<br />
trees in the future.<br />
It will look at ways to deal<br />
with the ageing population,<br />
climate change, urban heating,<br />
transport-related greenhouse<br />
gases and airborne pollutants,<br />
and ways to support Christchurch’s<br />
garden<br />

City council<br />
head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge<br />
(left) said<br />
the plan, which<br />
will be completed<br />
in 2018,<br />
will provide “strategic direction”<br />
to deal with those factors.<br />
He said older trees could be<br />
managed by removing branches,<br />
or placing a mulch layer over the<br />
roots, however, it became costly<br />
the further the tree declined.<br />
“If trees decline to the point<br />
that personal health and safety<br />
may be at risk we act accordingly.”<br />
Meanwhile, the city council<br />
TO GO: An Edmonds Park tree that was assessed for the Bells<br />
Creek flood mitigation scheme.<br />
has spent more than $257,000<br />
over the past year on reports and<br />
assessments of trees.<br />
Figures released to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
under the Local Government<br />
Official Information and Meetings<br />
Act, showed from August<br />
2015 to August <strong>2016</strong>, $257,872<br />
was spent on these reports.<br />
That figure related to assessments<br />
done for any reason, not<br />
just in relation to tree removals.<br />
In July, the city council set<br />
aside $30,000 for carrying out<br />
tree assessments at Bells Creek<br />
in Woolston, as part of the flood<br />
HUGE CLEARANCE<br />

don't miss out<br />
mitigation scheme.<br />
City council land drainage<br />
manager Keith Davison said to<br />
date, $11,553 had been spent on<br />
arborist services for the $9 million<br />
project.<br />
He said that included the<br />
in-house assessment of 317 trees<br />
across five sites. Thirteen of<br />
those trees were removed and<br />
replaced.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work was done to see what<br />
condition the trees affected by<br />
the work were in, and whether<br />
the scheme could be designed<br />
around them, Mr Davison said.<br />
Three reports and a memorandum<br />
were produced from the<br />
work. In all cases, the city council’s<br />
operational arborist team<br />
conducts its own assessment on<br />
the trees first.<br />
Additionally, it may commission<br />
an independent arborist<br />
for a report to get a peer review,<br />
during high demand periods, in<br />
relation to significant trees, or<br />
for trees in heritage parks.<br />
A tree survey of the Avon<br />
River’s stopbanks in June was<br />
costed at $8798, while tree<br />
condition surveys along Dudley<br />
Creek was costed at $5416.<br />
July was the most expensive<br />
year for tree reports, costing<br />
$60,708, while in August,<br />
$27,334 was spent.<br />
New bishop<br />
will decide<br />
future of school<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
THE FUTURE of Marian College<br />
will not be decided until a new<br />
Catholic Bishop of Christchurch<br />
is appointed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diocese has been looking<br />
at permanent options to rebuild<br />
the school after being forced from<br />
its North Pde site following the<br />
February 2011 earthquake.<br />
However, none have been set in<br />
stone.<br />
In a letter to the school, administrator<br />
of the diocese Reverend<br />
Rick Loughnan said the decision<br />
would be deferred until a new<br />
bishop was appointed, and<br />
further investigations were carried<br />
out.<br />
“We must be 100 per cent sure<br />
of our reasoning when the final<br />
decision is made and, with a new<br />
bishop soon to be appointed, it<br />
would seem appropriate for him,<br />
with our guidance, to have input<br />
into this final decision,” the letter<br />
said.<br />
Marian principal Mary-Lou<br />
Davidson said the school was in<br />
good heart while it waited to see<br />
where it would be rebuilt.<br />
“It’s an important decision. We<br />
want one that has the best outcome<br />
for the school.”<br />

Light rail a game changer<br />
We said:<br />
On-campus parking<br />
charges at Canterbury<br />
University will be increased<br />
to meet costs for car<br />
parking and maintenance<br />
without cutting into the<br />
university’s tuition revenue.<br />
You said:<br />
Elsabe Ackermann – Do I<br />
get a dedicated car park with my<br />
name on for $1000 in 2019? Our<br />
parking permits are just a licence<br />
to hunt for a park. Upside with<br />
that increase there might be loads<br />
of empty car parks to choose from.<br />
Keriana Thompson – That’s<br />
crazy! <strong>The</strong>re’s no parking on our<br />
street . . . we’ve seen so many people<br />
get tickets for nothing! Makes<br />
me mad! If my driveway was<br />
longer I’d let people park in it.<br />
Tessa Burrows – So wrong<br />
– parking was free while I was<br />
there and so it should be, you are<br />
not guaranteed a park, it reduces<br />
street parking and the universities<br />
at the very least should provide<br />
parking to students paying to go<br />
to the school.<br />
Samantha Boon – <strong>The</strong>y say<br />
we should catch the bus or bike<br />
. . . some of us live pretty far to<br />
bike and that is beside the point<br />
when you need a car to pick up<br />
kids from day care.<br />
Courtney Collins –<br />
Ridiculous as if $300 wasn’t<br />
enough to pay on top of our $700<br />
student levy we pay and all the<br />
other thousands of dollars we pay<br />
for tuition!? Plus you can’t always<br />
get a park in certain car parks<br />
anyway! You cannot tell me it<br />
costs that much to have our cars<br />
on some concrete.<br />
ONE OF the big bits of political<br />
news this week was Labour’s<br />
announcement that we will<br />
fund a new light rail system<br />
in Auckland to help that city<br />
break out of its disastrous traffic<br />
gridlock.<br />
With National reflexively<br />
coming out against the idea,<br />
it reopened a long running<br />
debate about the role of public<br />
transport in modern cities.<br />
Here in Christchurch, as we<br />
often are, we’re a bit ahead of<br />
the curve on this one. In the last<br />
election, Labour identified the<br />
urgent need for light rail to the<br />
north and west of the city.<br />
For us, it’s simple – no great<br />
city in the world has ever been<br />
able to fix their traffic problems<br />
by just building more roads.<br />
As the old saying goes, if you<br />
build it, they will come, and<br />
what city after city has found<br />
is that if you build more roads,<br />
more people will use cars.<br />
In Christchurch, the challenge<br />
is even greater due to the earthquakes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> massive population<br />
upheaval caused by the quakes<br />
have meant our city is growing<br />
and changing in ways none of<br />
us could have predicted just a<br />
few short years ago. With huge<br />
swathes of our population now<br />
moving to the west and north,<br />
it’s vital that these new areas<br />
be supported by high quality<br />
transport infrastructure.<br />
<strong>The</strong> alternative is to end up<br />
like Auckland has been, with<br />
roads clogged with too much<br />
traffic. Congestion can be a<br />
major drag not just on quality of<br />
life but on our local economy as<br />
well, as workers waste hours of<br />
their lives stuck in traffic. And<br />
in an increasingly carbon constrained<br />
world, public transport<br />
has a vital role to play in helping<br />
us reduce our carbon emissions.<br />
That’s why light rail would<br />
be such a game changer for our<br />
city. It’ll help us unclog our<br />
roads, make it easier for people<br />
to get around, help us support<br />
new areas as our city grows, and<br />
help us play a role in the right<br />
against climate change.<br />
It’s the way of the future, it’s<br />
what modern, successful cities<br />
do. And I’m proud that Labour<br />
stands for modern, accessible<br />
public transport.<br />

Business<br />
Travel agents test new Europe link<br />
• By Kate Preece<br />
HOT ON the tail of Emirates<br />
A380’s arrival in Christchurch,<br />
a week-long business trip takes<br />
flight tomorrow, bound for<br />
southern China, to expand on<br />
opportunities for Cantabrians.<br />
China Southern<br />
Airlines and the<br />
Sanya Tourism<br />
Development Board<br />
will host a group of<br />
Gareth<br />
Williamson<br />
Christchurch travel<br />
agents on a tour of<br />
Guangzhou and<br />
Hainan Island. <strong>The</strong> travellers<br />
will experience China Southern’s<br />
Dreamliner (Boeing 787) and<br />
see how this route can be used as<br />
the first stop for those looking to<br />
experience Europe.<br />
<strong>The</strong> addition of China<br />
Southern’s direct route from<br />
Christchurch to Guangzhou in<br />
December last year was a sign<br />
of the airline’s commitment to<br />
Christchurch. Nearly one year<br />
on, Asia’s largest airline can have<br />
no regrets with demand requiring<br />
an increase in frequency<br />
from three to five flights a week<br />
from December.<br />
“[Adding the direct flight] was<br />
a huge leap of faith,” Christchurch<br />

said, and it has paid off for both<br />
parties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> airport has experienced<br />
its highest passenger levels since<br />
pre-quake Christchurch. <strong>The</strong><br />
group of nine will experience<br />
first-hand why growth for both<br />
parties has been so rapid.<br />
“We want to ensure travel<br />
agencies are confident in the<br />
product [Boeing 787] and<br />
customer experience the<br />
airline is providing,” said Mr<br />
Williamson.<br />
Hello World network leader<br />
Kim Grafton is looking forward<br />
to exploring the region for the<br />
first time.<br />
“I’m really curious – about the<br />
airline, how they compare and<br />
what the region offers,” she said.<br />
“But it’s also about building<br />
trust in the brand [China Southern<br />
Airlines] which is not as<br />
well-known as some of the other<br />
operators.”<br />
With the increase in trade,<br />
both inbound and outbound<br />
travel between China and<br />
Christchurch are viewed as key<br />
areas for further development,<br />
Grafton said. <strong>The</strong> group of<br />
senior travel agents represent a<br />
wide range of travellers, from<br />
students to corporates, and will<br />
experience the first leg of what<br />
is one of the fastest routes from<br />
Christchurch to Europe.<br />
An hour’s flight from Guangzhou<br />
will see them on the ground<br />
in Sanya, Hainan Island, the<br />
southern-most city that boasts<br />
white-sand beaches, a tropical<br />
climate (annual average 25.8 deg<br />
C) and air quality that’s the highest<br />
of all China’s cities.<br />
China Southern Airlines:<br />
•<strong>The</strong> largest airline in the<br />
People’s Republic of China<br />

Learning to swim<br />
all part of summer’s fun<br />
I LIKEN my other half<br />
to that of a fish, and our<br />
four daughters, his little<br />
guppies.<br />
He’s amazing in the<br />
Melissa McDonnell<br />
water, and could spend<br />
hours with our girls<br />
frolicking, duck-diving<br />
and generally mucking<br />
about.<br />
While I could save<br />
myself if I had to,<br />
swimming is not my<br />
number one go-to activity.<br />
I am notorious for feeling<br />
the cold and so unless it’s a<br />
scorching day and there’s a<br />
24-plus deg C pool handy,<br />
I’d rather be a sideline<br />
observer.<br />
That said, I was very<br />
keen for my children to<br />
start swimming from<br />
an early age, and have<br />
always viewed lessons as<br />
a compulsory activity, as<br />
opposed to an optional<br />
one. Yes, it is an expensive<br />
exercise putting them all<br />
through lessons, but, it’s<br />
something that is of high<br />
priority and a mainstay in<br />
our budget.<br />
We have trekked to the<br />
pools almost every week<br />
since our eldest was sixmonths-old,<br />
culminating<br />
in us having spent six-anda-half<br />
years worth of lessons<br />
in the water alongside<br />
them. But since the twins<br />
turned three, all that has<br />
changed.<br />
My days of slowly, inching<br />
into the pool (and<br />
scrambling out of it) are<br />
officially over.<br />
No more winter lessons<br />
and wrestling two, sticky<br />
little bodies into suitably<br />
warm clothes (as I myself<br />
stand sodden and regress<br />
into a freezing cold, bluelipped,<br />
teeth-chattering<br />
mess).<br />
<strong>The</strong> little ones are now<br />
old enough to have solo<br />
lessons with their instructor,<br />
allowing me to support<br />
from the sidelines. And it’s<br />
fair to say, I’m quite happy<br />
about that.<br />
Although initially hesitant<br />
to jump in without us, they<br />
trust and adore their swim<br />
teacher so much that the<br />
transition was pretty easy.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y referred to themselves<br />
as “Big Girls in the<br />
pool” and supported each<br />
other to achieve their little<br />
milestones.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y loved diving off the<br />
side and ducking down<br />
to the bottom, and have<br />
demonstrated a huge leap<br />
in confidence and ability in<br />
only two lessons without us.<br />
And in spite of not having<br />
to get in with them, I<br />
ended up jumping in after<br />
their last lesson and we<br />
had a great play together<br />
(the kids’ pool is heated to<br />
a tolerable 28 deg C, so I<br />
could cope with that). <strong>The</strong><br />
weather was warm, the sun<br />
was shining – this was my<br />
kind of swimming.<br />
So as the summer approaches,<br />
I look forward<br />
to our new style of pool<br />
fun. <strong>The</strong> girls are flourishing<br />
and I look forward<br />
to dipping in with them<br />
when it’s warm enough to<br />
be enjoyable. Winning all<br />
around and looking forward<br />
to a summer of fun at<br />

Ideas for pool<br />
complex<br />
flood in<br />
A PIRATE ship, murals or<br />
a flying fox are some of the<br />
things people would like to see<br />
included in a new hot water pool<br />
complex and playground in New<br />
Brighton.<br />
People have been asked to send<br />
in ideas for the city council’s<br />
proposed “legacy project” hot<br />
salt water pool complex and<br />
whale pool playground upgrade.<br />
Submissions are open until<br />
Monday, and as of last week 547<br />
people had sent ideas in.<br />
DCL chief executive Rob Hall<br />
said the response from the local<br />
community has been phenomenal,<br />
with strong support for a<br />
development in the area and a<br />
lot of of ideas about what this<br />
could include.<br />
“We’ve already done some<br />
work on what these developments<br />
could involve for New<br />
Brighton, but it was always<br />
going to be crucial to get public<br />
input into the process before we<br />
pushed ahead.”<br />
People can send in submissions<br />
through the city council<br />
website. A decision on the scope<br />
of the work is expected before<br />
the end of the year, so design of<br />
the project can start in 2017.<br />

Taste<br />
Gin shots<br />
•THe fat in smoked salmon or gravlax,<br />
cold-cured spiced salmon, served with toast<br />
provides a rich counterpart to gin. Shrimp,<br />
scallops, and oysters sprinkled with lemon<br />
juice all pair nicely with gin, as well. Serve<br />
small crab cakes with lemon aioli for a bitesize<br />
snack.<br />
•<strong>The</strong> first confirmed date for the production<br />
of gin is the early 17th-century in Holland,<br />
although claims have been made that it was<br />
produced prior to this in Italy. In Holland it<br />
was produced as a medicine and sold in chemist<br />
shops to treat stomach complaints, gout<br />
and gallstones. To make it more palatable, the<br />
Dutch started to flavour it with juniper, which<br />
had medicinal properties of its own.<br />
•British troops fighting in the Low Countries<br />
during the Thirty Years’ War were given<br />
‘Dutch Courage’ during the long campaigns in<br />
the damp weather through the warming properties<br />
of gin. Eventually they started bringing<br />
it back home with them, where already it was<br />
often sold in chemists’ shops. Distillation was<br />
taking place in a small way in England, but<br />
it now began on a greater scale, though the<br />
quality was often very dubious. Nevertheless,<br />
the new drink became a firm favourite with<br />
the poor.<br />
•When King William III – better known<br />
as William of Orange – came to the English<br />
throne in 1689, he made a series of statutes<br />
actively encouraging the distillation of English<br />
spirits. Anyone could now distil by simply<br />
posting a notice in public and just waiting 10<br />
days. Sometimes gin was distributed to workers<br />
as part of their wages and soon the volume<br />
sold daily exceeded that of beer and ale.<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
HERB AND CRUMB<br />
CHICKEN TENDERLOINS<br />
WITH FRIED RICE<br />
Crumbed chicken<br />
¾ cup White breadcrumbs, or<br />
panko crumbs<br />
2 Tbsp Chopped parsley<br />
¼ cup Seasoned flour<br />
1 Egg, lightly beaten with a little<br />
milk<br />
8 Chicken tenderloins<br />
1 serving Oil, for shallow frying<br />
Fried rice<br />
2 Tbsp Peanut oil<br />
2 Eggs<br />
1 tsp Sesame oil<br />
1 tsp Light soy sauce<br />
3 cups Cooked rice, cold<br />
1 Shallot, or 2 spring onions,<br />
thinly sliced<br />
1 cup Mung bean sprouts<br />
2 cups Broccoli, cut into very<br />
small florets<br />
2 Tbsp Water<br />
¼ cup Parsley, or coriander<br />
leaves<br />
Directions<br />
Place the breadcrumbs and<br />
chopped parsley on a large<br />
plate and the seasoned flour<br />
on another. Place egg mixture<br />
in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken<br />
tenderloins in the flour dusting<br />
off any excess, then the egg and<br />
finally in the breadcrumbs,<br />
pressing them down so the<br />
tenderloins are well coated. Place<br />
on a tray, cover and, if necessary,<br />
refrigerate until ready to cook.<br />
Pour enough oil into the base<br />
of a large frying pan so it comes<br />
up the sides by about 2cm.<br />
When hot, place in the chicken<br />
tenderloins (you may need to<br />
cook in two batches), and cook<br />
on one side until you can see the<br />
chicken is nearly cooked. Turn<br />
over and cook until crumbs are<br />
golden. Remove from the frying<br />
pan and place on scrunched-up<br />
kitchen paper to drain. Keep<br />
warm while you cook the fried<br />
rice.<br />
Heat one Tbsp peanut oil in<br />
a wok or large frying pan. In a<br />
small bowl, lightly beat the eggs<br />
with sesame oil and soy sauce.<br />
Pour into the hot wok, allow to<br />
set to an omelette, turn over and<br />
cook on the other side. Remove<br />
to a plate.<br />
Heat remaining peanut oil<br />
in the wok and add the cooked<br />
rice, stirring constantly. Add<br />
shallot or spring onion, mung<br />
bean sprouts and broccoli florets.<br />
Sprinkle over water, cover and<br />
cook for three to five minutes to<br />
allow the broccoli to soften.<br />
Chop omelette into strips and<br />
stir into rice with herb leaves.<br />
Serve with crumbed chicken<br />
tenderloins and your favourite<br />
tomato sauce.<br />
ASPARAGUS WITH<br />
BALSAMIC AND BASIL<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 bunch Asparagus, woody ends<br />
snapped off<br />
½ large Red onion, thinly sliced<br />
1 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar<br />
½ cup Walnut pieces, drytoasted<br />
½ cup Basil leaves, finely<br />
chopped<br />
3 Tbsp Grated parmesan cheese<br />
2 Tbsp Olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
Place the red onion slices in<br />
a small dish and cover with<br />
the balsamic. Set aside for five<br />
minutes.<br />
Cut the asparagus into 5cm<br />
lengths. Blanch in boiling<br />
water for one minute, then run<br />
under cold water (alternatively,<br />
microwave the pieces in a bowl<br />
of cold water for 2 minutes, then<br />
drain). It will retain its crunch.<br />
Place the asparagus in a bowl,<br />
and add the vinegar and the<br />
onions. Add walnuts, basil and<br />
parmesan, then drizzle over the<br />
olive oil.<br />
Gently toss to combine and<br />
serve.<br />

Rachel Vogan says the hydrangea is one of the easiest and<br />
most charming shrubs to grow, and it’s making a major<br />
comeback.<br />
SOME GOOD old-fashioned shrubs are<br />
climbing their way back up the popularity<br />
ladder, and hydrangeas are making<br />
that comeback quickly and in epic<br />
proportions.<br />
Suddenly they don’t seem to be old<br />
and fuddy-duddy anymore. <strong>The</strong> value of<br />
having a reliable plant that blooms for<br />
months on end and is easy-care appeals to<br />
the time-poor. Being adaptable to sun and<br />
shade simply boosts their appeal.<br />
Planting drifts of hydrangeas is an<br />
easy way of having a low-maintenance,<br />
colourful garden display for months on<br />
end. <strong>The</strong>se hardy shrubs can be grown all<br />
over the country, from the hot and humid<br />
north right down to the cold and chilly<br />
south. With foliage and form, these gapfilling<br />
shrubs need more recognition.<br />
Hydrangeas can be used in numerous<br />
ways:<br />
• Planted under large trees.<br />
• Blended into shrub borders.<br />
• Planted along the shady cold side<br />
of the house.<br />
• As patio and entranceway focal<br />

New dwarf hybrids are appearing<br />
every season, many of which are bred to<br />
cope with full sun as well as shade. This<br />
expands the areas in which they can be<br />
used in the garden. And it makes them<br />
ideal for growing in planters and large<br />

WHERE AND HOW TO PLANT<br />
Soil is the main thing to get right. Make<br />
sure it is well dug over before planting,<br />
blend on half a bucket of compost or<br />
manure and sprinkle in some general<br />
fertiliser. Nestle in the plant, firm the soil<br />
around it, then add a layer of mulch around<br />
the base to keep the soil cooler and weeds<br />
away. Dwarf varieties are perfect pot-plant<br />
specimens, and hanging baskets options. If<br />
you can find one big enough, in most areas<br />
you will have foliage for nine to 10 months<br />
of the year and flowers for about half of<br />
that.<br />
PRUNING<br />
Prune hydrangeas each season after<br />
flowering in June, July or August. Remove<br />
about 50 per cent of the stem, down to a set<br />
of fat plump green buds, which will develop<br />
into next season’s flowers.<br />
PROPAGATING HYDRANGEAS<br />
At pruning time, select some straight<br />
stems for cuttings. In a pot filled in potting<br />
mix or loose soil, insert these sticks until at<br />
least 50 per cent is underground. In three<br />
to four months roots will begin to appear<br />
through the bottom of the pot.<br />

BLUE AND PINK HYDRANGEAS<br />
Hydrangea flower colours can change<br />
with different soil fertility. Many gardeners<br />
have been mystified by this as they may<br />
purchase a pink or red hydrangea in flower<br />
from the garden centre and find a year<br />
later, once it’s been in the garden a season,<br />
that the flowers have changed colour to<br />
a shade of mauve or blue. This is because<br />
flower colour is affected by the soil’s pH<br />
level.<br />
Below clockwise – Mop head Mariko;<br />
Hydrangea oakleaf Snowflake; Levana<br />
is a H. paniculata hybrid; Pink Maiden<br />
is another new one. With black stems<br />
and rich green leaves, this one is<br />
all about contrast; a wonderful cut<br />
flower; Sumiko has plenty of street<br />
appeal with its two-toned flowers.<br />

Colour in the Shade<br />
To some a shaded garden presents a number<br />
of challenges, but for me I absolutely love the<br />
variety of plants that are available for a semi to<br />
fully shaded garden. <strong>The</strong> most intriguing thing<br />
is the selection of colours available, not just<br />
through flowers, but also with foliage colours<br />
and patterns. So whether you are looking for<br />
plants to dot under a deciduous tree, a shaded<br />
side of the house, or even pots and planters, I<br />
invite you to come and visit our experienced<br />
and knowledgeable staff, the choices are<br />
endless. In the meantime here are a few shade<br />
lovers for the home gardener this spring.<br />
Fuchsias – As a child I loved looking and<br />
playing with the exotic, bright flowers from<br />
these beautiful dancing ladies. Choose from<br />
bush or basket varieties, which will brighten<br />
up any dull space in late spring through to<br />
autumn.<br />
Heuchera – With so many amazing foliage<br />
colours the hardest choice will be which<br />
colours to plant. I love to see them dotted in a<br />
garden border, incorporated into a woodland<br />
garden scheme, or to add splashes of colour in<br />
pots and planters in semi-shade.<br />
Camellia and Rhodos – A common plant<br />
which can’t be overlooked because they<br />
are brilliant to add height and dimension.<br />
Remember that if you have a narrow garden<br />
the sasanqua camellias are the perfect choice<br />
as they like to grow thin and high, and there<br />
are many varieties of dwarf rhodos which are<br />
simply delightful in a semi-shaded garden.<br />
Hosta – A garden classic for a semi to fullyshaded<br />
garden. Many people know and love<br />
the hosta for the amazing foliage colours<br />
which add a great contrast in the garden, but<br />
what many don’t realise is that they have<br />
beautiful flowers also.<br />
Rhodohypoxis – From late spring until<br />
autumn these brilliant wee beauties seem to<br />
have more flower than plant. Dotted around<br />
the garden border or to complement other<br />
plants in pots, these stunning cuties are<br />
packed full of flower power and love semishade.<br />
Bedding Plants – <strong>The</strong> perfect choice for a<br />
shaded or semi shaded hanging basket, pots<br />
and planters or garden borders are impatiens,<br />
mimulus, begonias, tuberous begonias,<br />
pansies and cineraria.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many choices for a shaded garden,<br />
so come on in. We are more than happy to help<br />
make your shade pop with colour.<br />

Travel<br />
St Petersburg: Russia’s window to the West<br />
GRANDUER: <strong>The</strong> Winter Palace.<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
THE SENSATION of a city<br />
seemingly afloat is what first<br />
struck me, as I stood on the banks<br />
of the River Neva to toast my<br />
arrival in St Petersburg, with a<br />
few vodka shots.<br />
As this was my first foray to<br />
Russia, I had joined a Trafalgar<br />
guided journey of this decorated<br />
city, built across 44 islands, crisscrossed<br />
by canals and a staggering<br />
300 bridges.<br />
Visitors flock here to experience<br />
one of life’s great truths – St<br />
Petersburg is one of the world’s<br />
most beautiful cities. Trafalgar’s<br />
local specialist, Deena, was a<br />
godsend helping our group get to<br />
grips with St Petersburg’s signature<br />
sights and stories. For firsttimers,<br />
it’s the imperial extravagance,<br />
commissioned by Peter the<br />
Great, that will command your<br />
attention.<br />
This remarkable Russian Tsar<br />
not only constructed the city as<br />
the new national capital in 17<strong>03</strong>,<br />
but was determined to make it<br />
Russia’s window to the West,<br />
underpinned with exuberant European<br />
architectural flourishes.<br />
St Petersburg is home to no<br />
fewer than 500 palaces. In a bid to<br />
save them, the Russian Government<br />
has privatised many of these<br />
peeling and crumbling pastel confections,<br />
before they literally fall<br />
apart. But because the cityscape<br />
oozes historic grandeur on such a<br />
massive scale, you don’t have stroll<br />
the streets for long before you<br />
actually feel architecturally drunk.<br />
But few buildings are quite as<br />
intoxicating as the chart-topping<br />
Winter Palace and the State<br />
Hermitage, delivering decorative<br />
excess, all areas.<br />
Parade across parquet floors and<br />
down marble staircases to gasp at<br />
gigantic crystal chandeliers and<br />
wrap-around gilded rooms, wallpapered<br />
in priceless art.<br />
Beyond, the trappings of<br />
royalty, the Hermitage houses a<br />
thousand rooms of art, which as<br />
Deena remarked, soon makes<br />
you realise that exploring St<br />
Petersburg’s treasures is a test of<br />
endurance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Romanov’s amassed, connived<br />
and looted an insatiable<br />
trove of masterpieces.<br />
With over three million items,<br />
even if you looked at each exhibit<br />
for one minute, it would take you<br />
nearly three years to see it all.<br />
Not only did Deena deftly<br />
navigate us around the headliners<br />
from da Vinci’s delightful<br />
Madonna and Child, to the<br />
Picasso, Rubens and Rembrandt<br />
pieces, but exploring the Hermitage<br />
with Trafalgar gave us fasttrack<br />
entrance into the museum,<br />
circumventing the horrendously<br />
long queues.<br />
Beyond the imperial prowess<br />
of central St Petersburg, a jaunt<br />
south to the city’s outer reaches<br />
brought us to Tsar’s Village, which<br />
is now officially called Pushkin.<br />
It’s as close as the Nazis got to<br />
conquering St Petersburg – they<br />
never did, in spite of the supreme<br />
confidence of Hitler.<br />
But the Nazis did seize Catherine<br />
Palace, a glittering country<br />
estate commissioned by Catherine<br />
the Great, which they duly plundered<br />
and ruined. You may well<br />
have heard of the Amber Room,<br />
the piece de resistance of the palace,<br />
which later became one of the<br />
world’s great art mysteries.<br />
After being stolen by the Nazis,<br />
debate remains whatever happened<br />
to its treasures, but a new<br />
Amber Room has been gloriously<br />
constructed at the palace – largely<br />
with German funds.<br />
Vladimir Putin has presided<br />
over the comprehensive restoration<br />
of this wondrous palace to its<br />
former glory. It is a heart-stealer,<br />
as are the dramatic photos of its<br />
mangled carcass following World<br />
War 2. But for all of the architectural<br />
magnificence studding St<br />
Petersburg, my runaway favourite<br />
is Peterhof, a short drive from<br />
Catherine Palace.<br />
<strong>The</strong> site was originally developed<br />
as Peter the Great’s naval<br />
base, but he later commissioned<br />
this pleasure pad as a vanity project,<br />
after visiting France.<br />
<strong>The</strong> prized centrepiece is<br />
the Grand Cascade and Water<br />
Avenue, a gushing symphony<br />
of over 140 gilded fountains<br />
and ingenious canals, which he<br />
partly engineered himself, using<br />
a gravity-fed design. <strong>The</strong> lavish,<br />
manicured grounds and gardens<br />
are gorgeous to stroll, looking out<br />
to the Gulf of Finland.<br />

Fashion<br />
Race day tips for the boys<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
THE BOLDER the better – that<br />
seems to be this year’s mantra<br />
for men’s NZ Cup and Show<br />
Week fashion.<br />
By no means am I an expert<br />
in men’s fashion, so I called<br />
into a few menswear stores<br />
to see what’s been flying off<br />
the shelves in preparation for<br />
Christchurch’s biggest event on<br />
the fashion calendar.<br />
At 3 Wise Men in the Re:<strong>Star</strong>t<br />
container mall, it’s all about the<br />
shirt.<br />
Block colour and patterned<br />
dress shirts have been a popular<br />
favourite for race day.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of checks this<br />
year. Like check shirts and bold<br />
colours, not so much plain,” said<br />
store manager Jess Edwards.<br />
“I’d go for a bright, colourful<br />
shirt like bright green or pink<br />
with a navy suit.”<br />
In the suit department, long<br />
gone are the days of the classic<br />
cut black suit – navies, greys and<br />
patterns have been selling out<br />
this season.<br />
“Maybe a bit of texture or<br />
really subtle checks, but mostly<br />
navy and grey,” Miss Edwards<br />
said.<br />

coloured shirts that don’t match<br />
navy or grey.<br />
At Meccano Riccarton,<br />
they’ve been noticing the suit<br />
and shirt trend, too.<br />
“Men are going for quite<br />
bold patterns and they want<br />
something a bit more edgy. We<br />
have a few floral shirts at the<br />
moment and people have been<br />
gravitating towards those quite<br />
intense patterns,” sales assistant<br />
Claudia Copeland said.<br />
“We haven’t sold many black<br />
suits either – charcoal grey and<br />
navy have been popular.”<br />
She said men are changing it<br />
up this year by opting for a waist<br />
coat instead of a jacket, or swapping<br />
suit pants for a more casual<br />
chino.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s been a lot of mix and<br />
matching going on this season,”<br />
Miss Copeland said.<br />
When it comes to ties, you’ll<br />
get away with ditching it if<br />
you’ve chosen a busy shirt.<br />
“Where people can get away<br />
with not wearing a tie, they<br />
won’t. That’s why they’ve been<br />
going for the boldly patterned<br />
shirts, because it’s easier to get<br />
away with not wearing one,”<br />
Miss Copeland said.<br />
Now you’ve got the suit<br />
pinned down, you need footwear<br />
to match.<br />
Alert: Black won’t work with a<br />
navy or grey suit. Save them for<br />
funeral and weddings and pair<br />
your outfit with shoes in brown<br />
hues.<br />
“Brown shoes have been very<br />
popular with the brogue detail.<br />
We have suede boots in at the<br />
moment that have been really<br />
popular. People have been opting<br />
for that instead of the classic<br />
black,” Miss Edwards said.<br />

THIS PLAY is something of<br />

sense of what has happened<br />
by questioning the shooter,<br />
a young man called simply<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Boy,” played by Arlo<br />
Gibson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Boy has simplistic and<br />
perverse ideas about race and<br />
multiculturalism and under<br />
cross-examination at times<br />
just says he can’t remember.<br />
Gibson also plays politicians<br />
and journalists as Claire tries<br />
to produce some rational<br />
explanation for such evil by<br />
talking to them, but this does<br />
not produce any real answers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trap of a cliched response<br />
is thus neatly avoided.<br />
Designed to raise questions<br />
for the audience, the damage<br />
that such chaos leaves in its<br />
wake is well presented as a<br />
damaged Claire continues to<br />
explore what has happened,<br />
even seeking out the boy’s<br />
absent father, but with still no<br />
real resolution.<br />
<strong>The</strong> increasing numbers of<br />
such random happenings in<br />
Western society sits behind<br />
these dialogues and also<br />
leaves a trail of bewilderment<br />
for the average citizen confronted<br />
with graphic details<br />
in their television news and<br />
newspapers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> audience’s emotions<br />
and intellect are fully engaged<br />
in the hour and a quarter<br />
running time, the beauty of<br />
the singing and the rawness<br />
of the events remaining well<br />
past the conclusion, and no<br />
doubt leaving much discussion<br />
for those attending.<br />
THOUGHT-PROVOKING PLAY:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre has produced<br />
a moving play directed by Daniel<br />
Pengelly (above) featuring<br />
community choir director Claire,<br />
played by Alison Bruce, with <strong>The</strong><br />
Boy, who commits the shooting,<br />
played by Arlo Gibson.<br />

WORDBUILDER<br />

E<br />
How many words of three or more letters can you<br />
make, using each letter only once? Plurals are<br />
allowed, but no foreign words or words beginning<br />
with a capital. <strong>The</strong>re’s at least one five-letter word.<br />

SUDOKU<br />
311 011<br />
Fill the grid so that every row,<br />
every column and every 3x3<br />
box contains the digits 1 to 9.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number game that<br />
improves your arithmetic<br />
HOW TO PLAY<br />
It’s like sudoku: each<br />
vertical and horizontal<br />
line has to contain<br />
the numbers 1-6, and<br />
the numbers can’t be<br />
repeated in any row or<br />
column.<br />
But it’s sudoku with a<br />
twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />
each heavily outlined<br />
set of squares, called<br />
cages, must produce the<br />
number in the top corner.<br />
For example, 5+ means<br />
the numbers add up to 5,<br />
9x means the numbers<br />
multiply to equal 9.<br />
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />
same line or row.<br />

Wingers get Crusaders chance<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
TWO OF the most exciting<br />
wingers from this year’s Mitre<br />
10 Cup will get their first<br />
taste of Super Rugby with the<br />
Crusaders in 2017.<br />
New signings Manasa<br />
Mataele, of Taranaki, and Canterbury’s<br />
George Bridge are<br />
expected to stake their claim<br />
for a spot on the wing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders squad was announced<br />
yesterday.<br />
With Fijian superstar Nemani<br />
Nadolo now plying his trade<br />
with Montpellier in France, and<br />
fellow Fijian Jone Macilai expected<br />
to miss a large chunk of<br />
the Crusaders season through<br />
injury, Mataele who also hails<br />
from the island nation is a<br />
valued acquisition.<br />
Coach Scott Robertson went<br />
big on the winger, prying him<br />
from Auckland’s hands when<br />
he selected the 19-year-old with<br />
the Crusaders first draft selection<br />
on Tuesday.<br />
“Manasa is a potential superstar<br />
for us. He’s a Nadolo-style<br />
player who can be express pace<br />
in the first five metres,” Robertson<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lengths the Crusaders<br />
went to bring Mataele to<br />
Christchurch took the Fijian by<br />
surprise, previously thinking he<br />
was bound for the Blues.<br />
“I didn’t know I was coming<br />
here, I was supposed to go up<br />
and join the Blues. I got a call<br />
on Tuesday and they said congratulations,<br />
were going to sign<br />
you,” said Mataele.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s plenty of ties for<br />
Mataele in Christchurch. His<br />
partner lives here and another<br />
Crusaders new signing, Chiefs<br />
and All Black centre Seta Tamanivalu,<br />
is the winger’s uncle.<br />
Meanwhile, George Bridge<br />
has been rewarded for a strong<br />
debut provincial season with<br />
Canterbury. After making his<br />
way south from Gisborne to<br />
join High School Old Boys<br />
FUTURE<br />
STARS:<br />
George<br />
Bridge<br />
(left) and<br />
Manasa<br />
Mataele<br />
could be<br />
the future<br />
of the<br />
Crusaders<br />
outside<br />
attack. <br />
just over three years ago, the<br />
21-year-old has now secured his<br />
first Super Rugby contract.<br />
“Razor (Scott Robertson)<br />
rang me up on Friday night to<br />
give me the news. Obviously,<br />
I was stoked but I couldn’t<br />
celebrate because we had the<br />
Mitre 10 Cup final the next<br />
day,” said Bridge.<br />
Robertson is also high on<br />
the winger who he says statistically<br />
was Canterbury’s best<br />
outside back during the Mitre<br />
10 Cup.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders begin preseason<br />
training in December,<br />
ahead of their opening game<br />
against the Brumbies on February<br />

Big season expected<br />
at Ruapuna Speedway<br />
THIS SUMMER promises to be<br />
one of the very best for Ruapuna<br />
Speedway competitors and<br />
enthusiasts, club president Allan<br />
Daly says.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 56th summer of speedway<br />
at Ruapuna gets under way on Saturday<br />
with the King of the Clay.<br />
<strong>The</strong> centrepiece event of the<br />
season is likely to be the 47th New<br />
Zealand Sprintcar Championship<br />
in January.<br />
“We anticipate close on 40 entries<br />
for this event,” Mr Daly said.<br />
“With the championship allocations<br />
being what they are, we<br />
may not see this championship in<br />
Christchurch for another six years.”<br />
Although the crowd-pleasing V8<br />
sprintcars feature prominently in<br />
the 13-meeting race calendar, Mr<br />
Daly said there would be something<br />
for everyone.<br />
“We are wrapped to be hosting<br />
this summer’s South Island<br />
Sidecar Championship,” he said.<br />
“We have the South Island<br />
Midget Car Championship and<br />
the New Zealand Midget Grand<br />
Prix, while the TQs, modified<br />
sprints and six shooters will<br />
all have plenty to race for this<br />
summer.”<br />
Ruapuna will also host two<br />
rounds of the Hydraulink Sprintcar<br />
War of the Wings series, as<br />
well as the annual Gold Cup and<br />
Salute to Goodie events.<br />
“We are thrilled with the influx<br />
of competitors in all classes, but I<br />
think it’s fair to say that the sprintcars<br />
really are thriving,” Mr Daly<br />
said.<br />
“We have had two top saloon<br />
car drivers in Martin Harcourt<br />
and Jackson Lovelady move across<br />
into the sprintcars, as has former<br />
national modified champion<br />
Luke Keegan. Trevor Wishart<br />
has shifted back across from<br />
Australia and has looked sharp in<br />
practices and, with 17 registered<br />
Christchurch sprintcars, it’s a big<br />
increase.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> midget car class has also had<br />
a couple of high profile ‘arrivals’<br />
with former TQ standouts Scott<br />
Bailey and Jeremy Webb moving<br />
up.<br />
No fewer than 17 midget cars<br />
are currently contracted to the<br />
Ruapuna track with last season’s<br />
dominant drivers Dave Kerr, Tom<br />
Lumsden, Gary Chadwick and<br />
Glenn Everett likely to come under<br />
some real pressure from the new<br />
arrivals.<br />
Daly was also upbeat about the<br />
club’s future, with a stadium redevelopment<br />
programme in place that<br />
will see improvements to the track<br />
over the next five years.<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />
QUIET, AS defined by the<br />
Oxford Dictionary, is gentle<br />
sound, and that could<br />
certainly be said of Mazda’s<br />
new CX-9.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new seven-seat sport<br />
utility vehicle is stealth-like<br />
in its movement, hushed<br />
and almost devoid of<br />
sound; of course, there is<br />
some audible presence, but<br />
the CX-9 is certainly one<br />
of the quietest vehicles I’ve<br />
had the good fortune to<br />
drive.<br />
That doesn’t surprise me<br />
because Mazda is extending<br />
the boundaries of<br />
automotive design, all of its<br />
recent product has stood<br />
out for engineering prowess,<br />
that is backed up by<br />
the number of awards the<br />
company has received in<br />
recent years, and the CX-9<br />
explores that even further.<br />
Not only is movement<br />
in the CX-9 whisper quiet,<br />
the engine has also been<br />
developed so that it works<br />
in the area where it is most<br />
effective and efficient.<br />
Forget about the 3-litre<br />
V6 engine which used<br />
to power the previousgeneration<br />
CX-9, the newcomer<br />
gets a turbocharged,<br />
2.5-litre, four-cylinder unit<br />
and it has been engineered<br />
so that the torque pattern<br />
delivers useful power low<br />
in the rev band, the kind of<br />
power you need for everyday<br />
driving.<br />
<strong>The</strong> engine is still redlined<br />
at 6000rpm and that is<br />
easily accessible, especially<br />
so in sport mode, but there<br />
is no need to go there, the<br />
turbocharged boost arrives<br />
at only 2000rpm and is<br />
managed so that acceleration<br />
is ushered in forcefully<br />
from below that.<br />
Peak power is rated at<br />
a healthy 170kW and is<br />
developed at just 5000rpm,<br />
which is also low, thus<br />
minimising the need to<br />
explore the top end. Torque<br />
is the most important<br />
ingredient in any engine<br />
and in the CX-9’s case<br />
it pulls from absolutely<br />
nowhere.<br />
Other than the useful<br />
acceleration benefits<br />
(0-100km/h in 8.8sec),<br />
an 8.4-litre per 100km<br />
(34mpg) combined cycle<br />
fuel usage average is also<br />
claimed. That correlates<br />
well to the 9.2l/100km<br />
(31mpg) figure constantly<br />
showing in the test car,<br />
along with an amazing<br />
5.7l/100km (49mpg)<br />
instantaneous figure at<br />
100km/h, the engine very<br />
MAZDA CX-9: Engine designed to operate at low revs.<br />
relaxed at 1900rpm.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are extraordinary<br />
figures for a vehicle which<br />
weighs in excess of 1800kg,<br />
and are indicative of the<br />
development which has<br />
gone into the SkyActive<br />
range of engines which<br />
power almost all of Mazda’s<br />
current product.<br />
It’s not just the fact that<br />
the engine is so strong, nor<br />
the fact that it does its job<br />
without making a fuss that<br />
makes the CX-9 so special,<br />

wagon lands at just $52,995<br />

is too comprehensive to<br />

comfort and convenience<br />
include satellite navigation,<br />
full leather trim with<br />
heated front seats, electric<br />
front seat adjustment and,<br />
of course, it gets a fivestar<br />
Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program safety<br />
rating.<br />
Special mention must be<br />
made of the CX-9’s Bose<br />
audio. It is a stunner, the<br />
sound is rich and clear, and<br />
I guess a lot of what makes<br />
its clarity stand out is the<br />
absence of road noise. If<br />
you are a CX-9 buyer, ask<br />
for the Bose USB flash<br />
drive which has music<br />
especially formulated to<br />
enhance the audio’s characteristics.<br />
In terms of the driveline,<br />
power is directed through<br />
a six-speed automatic<br />
transmission, and it is a<br />
beauty in terms of shift<br />
refinement and seamless<br />
gearing. As mentioned, the<br />
engine wants to constantly<br />
work low down so that<br />
gear changes come early,<br />
but such is the clever way<br />
the power flow is managed<br />
there is no drop in<br />
performance. I barely used<br />
the sport protocols, opting<br />
instead for standard mode<br />
which still offers flighty<br />
engine operation if you<br />
wish to be aggressive with<br />
the accelerator.<br />
While many SUV buyers<br />
opt for four-wheel-drive,<br />
and in the CX-9’s case that<br />
is most affordable, the twowheel-drive<br />
model would<br />
suit me, it wants for nothing,<br />
ride comfort and handling<br />
aren’t compromised,<br />
I took the test car on a<br />
highway loop to Oxford.<br />
When it came time to tackle<br />
a few twists and turns,<br />
I found the big SUV to be<br />
capable and balanced in a<br />
corner. For a large and tall<br />
body the CX-9 feels more<br />
athletic than I was expecting.<br />
After a few months living<br />
in a student flat my<br />
daughter has shifted back<br />
home and I used the<br />
CX-9 to transport many<br />
of her belongings back.<br />
It’s that kind of versatility<br />
that makes big SUVs so<br />
popular. With the third<br />
row of seats folded flat<br />
the load area is cavernous<br />
(810-litres), while the<br />
seating configurations are<br />
versatile.<br />
It’s not often that I get so<br />
enthusiastic about SUVs,<br />
but the CX-9 is a class act.<br />
It is right up there in terms<br />
of luxury-like travel, and at<br />
a price where it is hugely<br />
competitive in a popular<br />
part of the market. I can<br />
see it easily being a market<br />
segment front-runner.

Presenting Your Home<br />
For Sale?<br />
<strong>The</strong> way you present your home not only makes selling it easier, but it may sell faster and increase the price<br />
a buyer is prepared to pay. Presentation of your home doesn’t mean spending thousands on an upgrade<br />
either! So why wouldn’t you want to do everything possible to make it appealing to prospective purchasers?<br />

Street Appeal<br />
<strong>The</strong> exterior of your home is the first thing buyers<br />
will see, so the property needs to look well kept<br />
and inviting. Take a look at your place from the<br />
street and see it through a buyer’s eyes! So… cut<br />
the lawns, trim trees, plants and hedges, add some<br />
garden lights and place a nice pot or plant by the<br />
front door. Ensure the house exterior is cleaned<br />
or freshened with new paint if necessary, hose<br />
down drives, paths and fences, put stylish new<br />
numbers on the house and perhaps buy a funky<br />
new letterbox!<br />
Make an Entrance<br />
Even if your entrance or hallway is small you can<br />
still give it some wow! A large mirror adds light<br />
and makes an entrance look twice the size. Fresh<br />
flowers, candles or a stylish piece of art create an<br />
inviting first impression. Ensure floors are clean<br />
whether timber, tiles or carpet.<br />
Create Space<br />
Light, air and space are 3 key factors in presenting<br />
a home to best advantage. Open up curtains and<br />
windows and use lamps and light fittings for mood<br />
and ambience. Arrange furniture to maximize<br />
space and remove items that make the room<br />
appear cramped.<br />
Fresh Feel<br />
Freshen rooms with new paint if necessary but<br />
aim for neutral tones which are more versatile for<br />
buyers. Add a splash of colour in cushions, throws,<br />
artwork or a vase of flowers. Invest in a new duvet<br />
or bedspread and always make the bed!<br />
Templeton<br />
New Listing<br />
Beautify the Bathroom<br />
Replace or re-surface fittings if necessary, but<br />
otherwise you can simply beautify your bathroom<br />
with thorough and fastidious cleaning, thick<br />
opulent towels, a tray of beautiful soaps and some<br />
lush green plants. Invest in a new shower curtain<br />
1<br />
or laundry hamper and maybe a sleek modern<br />
towel rail.<br />
Clean Clean Clean<br />
Cleaning is a mandatory part of selling your home:<br />
have carpets, rugs and upholstery commercially<br />
cleaned and sanitized, clean drapes and blinds<br />
to look<br />
14<br />
like<br />
Avonie<br />
new,<br />
Place<br />
polish glass and furniture, wash<br />
down all surfaces and fittings in bathroom and<br />
kitchen, clean all light fittings, wash windows inside<br />
and out, deodorize your home to eliminate any<br />
odours from pets, cooking or smoke.<br />
Outdoor Spaces<br />
Even a small patio, deck or terrace can be<br />
enhanced with a café table and chairs. Add some<br />
colourful accessories – placemats, candle lamps,<br />
pots and plants and you have an extra living area.<br />
If space is not limited, hang a hammock, string<br />
some outdoor lights, position a garden sculpture<br />
or create a water feature that buyers will love.<br />
Hire a Handyman<br />
Squeaking doors, dripping taps, cracked tiles,<br />
broken fences, leaking toilets or appliances that<br />
don’t work are a turn-off for buyers. If you can’t<br />
repair or replace things yourself, then hire a<br />
handyman to make sure everything in your home<br />
works as it should.<br />

Clear out Clutter<br />
Storage space sells but clutter complicates!<br />
Clean out your cupboards, shelves and garage<br />
and get rid of unnecessary clutter. Buyers inspect<br />
wardrobes and cupboards so tidy them up and<br />
reduce the number of photos, books, nic-nacs on<br />
display, they distract buyers too!<br />
NEW LISTINGS<br />
Finish it First!<br />
Buyers want to see a finished home, not one that’s<br />
still being fixed! So finish everything before you list<br />
your home for sale then launch it onto the market<br />
when it looks its absolute best – you have nothing<br />
to lose and everything to gain.<br />

THE ABBA Show jets in for a full national<br />
tour this month, playing at the Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre<br />
Royal on Wednesday 9th <strong>November</strong>.<br />
Following more than 4000 international<br />
performances to date, including recent tours<br />
of North America and South Africa, the<br />
show’s NZ tour will take in an exhausting 22<br />
different venues in just 34 days.<br />
Far from being ‘just another cover band’,<br />
<strong>The</strong> ABBA Show is a full-scale concert<br />
experience and stage show featuring 2.5<br />
hours of live musical performance with a<br />
live band, replica costumes, theatrical<br />
lighting and effects, and all the ABBA hits.<br />
And despite Mamma Mia (the musical) still<br />
doing the rounds, promoter John Van<br />
Grinsven from Showtime Australia is<br />
confident that fans will recognize the distinct<br />
and worthwhile experience that <strong>The</strong> ABBA<br />
Show offers.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re completely different shows.<br />
Mamma Mia is a great musical but <strong>The</strong><br />
ABBA Show does more of an authentic<br />
concert experience. We’ve worked really<br />
hard to make it just the way the fans will<br />
remember it if they were lucky enough to<br />
see the originals perform live. It really is a<br />
SORRY, SHOW<br />
CANCELLED<br />
unique show.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> starring cast of the show -<br />
comprising Brits Hannah Pocock as Agnetha<br />
and Jenna Ball as Frida and Aussies<br />
Cameron Charters as Bjorn and Brent<br />
McMullen as Benny - has put in countless<br />
hours to achieve the attention to detail that<br />
the show is famous for.<br />

THE music of Creedence Clearwater<br />
Revival (CCR) remains as popular<br />
today as it was when the group was<br />
active from the late 60's to the early<br />
70's. Despite their meagre career, the<br />
American swamp country rockers left<br />
a wealth of timeless hits.<br />
On Saturday 19th <strong>November</strong> the<br />
music of CCR will be celebrated at the<br />
Hornby WMC by CCR tribute band,<br />
Bad Moon Rising.<br />
Made up of top North Island<br />
musicians Ivan Glucina (guitar/vocals),<br />
Grant Wills (lead guitar/backing<br />
vocals), Dave Hartley (bass guitar), and<br />
BOWYN ‘BOMAN’ MORGAN<br />
v SHAUN COLMORE<br />
Steve Tree (drums), Bad Moon Rising<br />
deliver a convincing rendition of all the<br />
hits such as ‘Born On <strong>The</strong> Bayou’,<br />
‘Have You Ever Seen <strong>The</strong> Rain’, ‘Suzie<br />
Q’, ‘Down On <strong>The</strong> Corner’, ‘Midnight<br />
Special’, to name but a few!<br />
Highly sought after on club circuits<br />
and at festivals and events across the<br />
country, Bad Moon Rising is busy<br />
sharing the legacy of CCR’s music<br />
across the country.<br />
