Traffic
signals
time
phases
under
scrutiny
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE TIMING of the city’s
amber traffic signals could be
altered by up to a second, in
a bid to curb the growing red
light-running epidemic.
The Star can reveal a multiagency
group, of the Canterbury
Transport Operation Centre,
city council, NZ Transport
Agency and police, has been
working since October on the
project.
The length of the amber
traffic signal could be changed
by up to 1sec. Currently, it sits
between 3.5sec and 5.2sec, depending
on the speed limit and
the intersection’s width.
CTOC manager Ryan Cooney
said the group was also looking
at changing the “all-red phase”
between 0.5sec to 1sec.
That was when every signal
was red at the same time at an
intersection, which gives time
to clear it of vehicles before the
next green phase.
Currently, it was timed for
between 2sec and 3.5sec.
Mr Cooney said the group
would choose whether it
reduced or increased the times
by analysing “whatever gives
us that outcome of improved
safety.”
He said the project was still
in its initial stages and a trial
would have to be undertaken.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
Sometimes there are stories
that just make you sit and
marvel at the absolute
determination the human
spirit can muster.
We have one such story
today.
In June, cyclist and former
Christchurch Boys’ High
student Keagan Girdlestone
was nearly decapitated when,
during a race in Italy, he went
through the window of a support
vehicle.
His list of injuries is such that
those who witnessed the crash
could be forgiven for thinking
he was dead.
Keagan has returned to
Christchurch, incredibly after
learning how to walk again.
His aim a few months ago was
just to be able to cycle to his
neighbourhood cafe in Lincoln.
Now he is lining up Le Race
as the No 1 seed. This is not
only a nod to his incredible
recovery but also that he was
the youngest person to ever
win Le Race back when he was
16-years-old.
All the very best for the race
Keagan.

Gearing up for next hurdle
• By Gordon Findlater
EIGHT MONTHS ago, Keagan
Girdlestone was learning how
to walk again after nearly being
decapitated in a horror cycle
crash.
On Saturday, after an amazing
recovery, he will ride in
Le Race, a 100km cycle from
Cathedral Square to Akaroa. A
race he also has the honour of
being the youngest ever winner
back in 2014, when he was
16-years-old.
Organisers have seeded him
No 1 for the event, recognition
of his winning effort three years
ago, and for winning his life
back as well.
It is a remarkable feat, considering
it was only in June,
when competing in the Coppa
della Pace race in Italy, his
head crashed through the back
window of a support vehicle, the
glass severing his carotid artery
and jugular vein.
The last thing Girdlestone
remembers is the sound of
spectators yelling at him to slow
down.
Those who witnessed the
crash were reported in media
saying there was no way he
could survive, after nearly being
decapitated.
Girdlestone sustained bruising
to the brain, and in hospital
suffered several small strokes,

put himself
on the scene
by becoming
the youngest
ever winner
of Le Race.
READY: Keagan Girdlestone is ready to push the limit on Saturday after receiving news that

going into cardiac arrest. His
prospects of survival were grim
and he remained in a coma for
several days.
But Girdlestone survived
and began the uphill battle of
learning to walk again, but he
always kept his sights on trying
to revive his cycling career.
When he returned to
Christchurch in August he set
himself the goal of being able to
ride to his local coffee shop in
Lincoln.
He achieved the goal by the
start of November.
He has ridden more than
4000km already this year, including
a couple of races,
and believes the sky is now the
limit.
“We’re at the stage now where
we actually have no idea of what
I’m capable of doing,” he said.
Girdlestone’s goal for 2017
is to compete in the Tour of
Southland later this year. He’s
aiming even higher after that.
“I’m hoping that there is
still the possibility for me to
compete at the Commonwealth
games in 2018 in the Gold
Coast,” he said.
“It’s a far cry but if your goals
aren’t big enough that they scare
you, then are they even worth
trying to achieve?”
On Saturday the South
African-born rider will bring
the same fighting spirit to the
iconic Canterbury cycling event,
which still holds a special place
in his heart.
“The win in 2014 really kickstarted
things for me. I started
to get a lot of good results after
that and realise my full potential,”
said Girdlestone
Girdlestone says the event is
probably his favourite in New
Zealand and describes it as
short but relentless.
“I’ve done some pretty hard
training rides but being in a
racing situation this will be
substantially harder, it’s going to
hurt like hell,” he said.
Saturday will be the first time
that he can truly push the limit.
Since getting back on the bike
Girdlestone has been on a heart
rate restriction of 145bpm.
However, after recent ultrasounds
it has been discovered
he doesn’t need to worry about
his artery rupturing under load.
The race starts at Cathedral
Square at 8am.
In Brief
SELWYN SEX ATTACK
The woman who comforted
the victim after a sex attack in
Lincoln has come forward, but
has provided little information
for police to go on. A 48-yearold
woman was attacked near
the bend of West Belt and North
Belt after she left the Selwyn
Sounds concert on March 4
at 6.30pm. Detective Senior
Sergeant Scott Anderson said
police still have “a few irons
in the fire” but information
coming in was slowing down.
Several people police identified
as possibly having information
have been spoken too. Anyone
with information about the
attack should phone 363 7400 or
Crimestoppers, anonymously if
necessary, on 0800 555 111.
MINISTER CHALLENGED
A conservation trust manager,
angry at Environment Minister
Nick Smith’s swimmable
river stance, has challenged
him to a boxing match – with
the loser to “frolic” in one of
Christchurch’s most polluted
swimming holes. Greg
Byrnes, a former Environment
Canterbury planner, posted the
challenge in a classified advert
because he said he had seen
the cost of polluted waterways,
and believed Dr Smith was
dismissing the problem.
BARRIERS REMOVED
Part of Madras St has been
restored to three lanes for the
first time since the February
2011 earthquake. The
barriers, between Lichfield
and Tuam Sts, have been
removed. They were installed
by the now defunct Canterbury
Earthquake Recovery Authority
to create a safe fall area to
protect the public from the
dangerous facade on the
216 Madras St building. The
building’s owner has been
served with an earthquakeprone
building notice to replace
the barriers with shipping
containers.

Traffic signal time review
•From page 1
“We’re considering how these
phase times change driver behaviour
and how that will effect
driver decisions.”
Mr Cooney said there was
“definitely” a correlation
between crashes and red lightrunners.
At the city’s worst 13 intersections
on a single day last year,
6580 vehicles ran red lights.
That was an increase from
2014 with 3974 and 2015 on
4960.
CTOC figures for 2016 showed
the worst for red light-runners
was the intersection of Blenheim
Rd and Mandeville St, where 652
were detected on a day.
There were 65 injury crashes
after drivers ran red lights, up
from 42 in 2015, according to
police data.
If the changes were made, they
could speed up travel times, as
drivers wouldn’t need to wait for
red light-runners to move, Mr
Cooney said.
In comparison, Auckland’s
average amber phase time on
roads with a speed limit lower
than 70km/h was 4.5sec, while
in Dunedin it was 4sec for a
50km/h speed limit.
Mr Cooney said a trial to

test the effects of any ideas or
changes would need to be done,
but it was not known how or
when that would happen.
Road policing manager
Inspector Al Stewart said “nine
times out of 10 you might get
away with it, but that one time
you don’t, you’re going to get
seriously injured or seriously
injure someone else.”
Via Strada senior traffic
engineer and transport planner
Glen Koorey said altering the
all red phase and amber signals
was often used to stop red lightrunning.
But the risk was once drivers
got used to the new timing, they
may figure out new ways of getting
around it, he said.

Young criminals
• By Andrew King
THE NUMBER of youth
committing aggravated
robberies in the city is on the
rise, with a criminologist saying
it is only a matter of time before
someone is seriously hurt or
killed.
Police say there has been
a small increase in the
number of youth committing
crime, but the bigger
concern was the severity
of the crimes being committed
like aggravated
robbery.
“Weapons are being
used by youth during robberies.
Sometimes even
firearms during robberies,
which is a huge concern to
us, as the risk of someone
getting hurt is very high,”
Senior Sergeant Phil Newton
said.
Police data shows, in 2015,
there were 22 aggravated robberies
committed by offenders
between the ages of 10-19, with
29 in 2016 and four in January.
Canterbury University criminologist
Greg Newbold said it
was only a matter of time before
shopkeepers took matters into
their own hands, including the
Greg
Newbold

Todd

use of weapons.
Canterbury metro
commander Superintendent
Lane Todd strongly advised
retailers not to take the law into
their own hands.
“The risk [of injury] gets
heightened quite quickly
when people fight back and
that is the last thing we
want,” he said.
He said police advise
anyone confronted by an
armed offender to fully
comply and then phone 111.
“While we have had
a recent spike in armed
robberies we have had
quite a high success rate
of apprehending these
offenders and dealing with
them through the courts,”
he said.
Senior Sergeant Newton
said there is often little reward
for the robbers.
He said the maximum penalty
for aggravated robbery is 14
years in prison and police were
“amazed at the huge risks taken
for so little reward.”
“It is very rare that offenders
get away with more than $1000;
it is more like a couple of hundred,”
he said.

CDHB may pay for late surgeries
• By Gabrielle Stuart
CANTERBURY could lose $24
million in funding for surgeries
because the health board has
failed to meet Government
targets.
Rebuild work on operating
theatres and doctor strikes in
January have meant the Canterbury
District Health Board has
fallen 515 surgeries behind its
target this year.
Some patients have been left
waiting more than six months
for treatment or a first assessment.
That breaks Government
funding conditions, of which
the penalty is a funding cut.
The Ministry of Health has
written to the CDHB to say the
penalty will be $24 million, but
it will not decide until June if it
will charge or waive the penalty.
CDHB still plans to carry out
its target of more than 20,000
surgeries this year, so it will have
to find a way to make up the
cost if the penalty is charged.
Its budget for the year is already
in the red, with a shortfall
forecast of more than $39 million.
Ministry of Health service
commissioning director Jill
Lane said the decision whether
to charge the penalty would
depend on the CDHB reducing
the number of long-waiting
patients and achieving its target.
That means having fewer than
one per cent of patients waiting
for more than six months and
completing the year’s target of
20,982 surgeries by June.
The target was set by the
CDHB based on what it believed
it could achieve, but problems
like the doctor strikes disrupted
the schedule, a report said. It
deferred 916 outpatient appointments
during the three-day
strike in January.
Chief executive David Meates
said the rebuild of the hospital
was also partially responsible.
He said it had a recovery
plan, which included
outsourcing some surgery to
private providers.
“However, the fact remains we
continue to be constrained by
our lack of theatre capacity until
our new facilities are complete
next year,” he said.
He said the health board was
“acutely aware” of the threat of a
financial penalty.
Health board acting chairman
Mark Solomon did not respond
to emails or calls from The Star.
Health board member Jo Kane
said the CDHB had no extra
money to cover a shortfall.
“We can’t close down the cancer
ward, or close down ED for
a couple of days. We don’t have
pots of money anywhere that we
can pull money from to cover
this,” she said.
She said its only option would
be to “beg” Minister of Health
Jonathan Coleman for funding.
The Star asked Dr Coleman
if he would consider a bail-out,
but he did not respond.
Canterbury Charity Hospital
founder Philip Bagshaw said
it was having to expand the
amount of surgery it did to fill
gaps in the public service.
“They’re progressively restricting
the funding, it’s going down
in real terms, and it’s reaching a
crisis level,” he said.
Confusion
surrounding
Cathedral
announcement
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE ANGLICAN Diocese
appears not to know when an
announcement about the Christ
Church Cathedral will be made,
or who will make it.
Great Christchurch Buildings
Trust co-chairman Jim
Anderton said last week he was
expecting an announcement on
the future of the Cathedral last
Friday. But diocese spokesman
Jayson Rhodes said that was
“news to us”.
He said the diocese did not
know when an announcement
would be made, or whether it
would be made by the diocese or
by Government.
Anglican Church Property
Trustees have been in talks with
Government this week, trying
to reach a deal, but Mr Rhodes
said they were taking the talks
“day-by-day”.
Bishop Victoria Matthews
has previously revealed she was
taken by surprise by the collapse
of an agreement in December, as
she expected it would be “sorted
out” by Christmas.

Questions
over emergency
services
precinct delay
• By Bridget Rutherford
THOSE OVERSEEING the
Justice and Emergency Services
Precinct are refusing to say
whether the company contracted
to build it is having to make
penalty payments for the delay.
Fletcher Construction has
pushed the $300 million project’s
hand-over date to the Ministry
of Justice back from March 31 to
later this year. It would now hand
over the justice building by June
30 and the emergency services
building by July 14.
Both Fletcher and the ministry
cite commercial sensitivity over
the project as the reason for
refusing to comment on whether
penalty payments are being made
for the late delivery.
Neither would say what the reason
for the delays were. It comes
after the anchor project was
partly blamed for Fletcher’s profit
downgrade of up to $150 million,
unveiled on Monday.
A ministry spokesman said
after the hand-over, the buildings’
tenants would begin the fit-out of
their new spaces.
$9k moving cost no bull
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE CHAPMAN’S Homer
sculpture – a symbol of
Christchurch’s post-earthquake
strength – has cost nearly
$10,000 to move to seven spots
around the city.
The 1.8 tonne bronze bull on a
grand piano sculpture, by New
Zealand artist Michael Parekowhai,
first arrived in 2012.
It was well loved, which in
2013, prompted the Christchurch
Art Gallery to begin a
public fundraising campaign to
buy it for more than $1 million.
Gallery director Jenny Harper
said to move the sculpture seven
times since it arrived, had cost
$9688.
It had its own crates, but the
gallery hired either a loader
crane or forklift to move it into
place, which could cost up to
$185 an hour, she said.
“It takes four gallery technicians
between two and five
hours to install Chapman’s
Homer at each new site.”
The sculpture first sat on an
empty Madras St site for 30
days. City council figures show
the cost of placing it there was
$2323.
It was then moved to the
POPULAR: Michael Parekowhai’s Chapman’s Homer sculpture
has cost $9688 to move around the city.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Arts Centre, costing $1656.
Two months later it was placed
outside the city council building
for $1789.
After two months there, it
moved to PlaceMakers Riccarton
for three months, costing
$600, before New Regent St at a
cost of $1475.
It stayed there for four months
before heading to Christchurch
International Airport. That
move cost $934.
When the art gallery reopened
in late 2015, Chapman’s Homer
was shown in its NZI Foyer
before being placed at its current
spot outside the gallery in
September. The final move was
the cheapest, at $606.
Ms Harper said Chapman’s
Homer would remain at its current
location for the long term.
But it was not necessarily
permanent because its collection
was available to other galleries
on a cost-recovery basis, she
said.
She said every time it was
moved, the gallery needed to
advise its insurer and get formal
permission from the land owner.
Chapman’s Homer was first
exhibited in Venice, where Mr
Parekowhai represented New
Zealand at the 2011 Venice Biennale.
It was then shown at the
musée de quai Branly in Paris.
It came to Christchurch in
the wake of the February 2011
earthquake and the city fell in
love with it prompting the Back
the Bull PledgeMe fundraising
campaign.
Ms Harper said because of the
“commercially sensitive” nature
of the purchase contract, the
gallery could not disclose the
exact price paid – but it was over
$1 million.
She said the city council’s
public art advisory group put
$300,000 into it, and $206,500
was raised through the
PledgeMe campaign.
Westpac and the gallery’s
foundation matched the
PledgeMe figure raised, she said.

It is that time of year when all the councils, including Environment Canterbury,
will be asking the community for feedback on the annual plan for the coming
financial year (2017/18).
You should see information from your local council about how to give feedback on
planned activity close to home - and you are invited by Environment Canterbury to
give feedback on activity proposed across the region outlined in our draft Annual Plan.
We work closely with your local council on many projects but we do cover different
activity so it is important to engage in both processes if you want to have a say.
For the Environment Canterbury plan:
▪ Visit ecan.govt.nz/haveyoursay, view the short summary document and/or the
full draft 2017/18 Annual Plan and use the online form to send your feedback in
▪ Email ecinfo@ecan.govt.nz to arrange a time to talk to Councillors in May
▪ Pick up a hard copy summary and form from your local Environment Canterbury office.
Please note, the closing date for feedback or to request a time to meet with
Environment Canterbury Councillors is 5pm on Friday 21 April.

Disruption worth it
THE EAST side of the
central city is packed
with rebuild work
these days and, while
progress is good, this
does cause disruptions
for everyone who lives
in, travels through or uses that
part of town.
It can be challenging getting
down Manchester St at the
moment. The street is being
transformed into a tree-lined
boulevard as part of the vibrant
and modern vision for our central
city.
The frustration some have
felt towards An Accessible City
– the transport chapter of the
Christchurch Central Recovery
Plan – is entirely understandable.
I think some of the concerns
that have been raised are valid.
Still, the current irritations will
be worth it in the end when our
streets have been broadened,
repaved and purpose-built for a
modern, liveable city.
I know the city council and
Otakaro Ltd are listening to the
public’s concerns and I encourage
the public to contact these
agencies if they have
issues with any accessible city
projects.
The first section of the shared
Gerry Brownlee
pathway on the western side
between Hereford and Lichfield
Sts is now open and shows us how
Manchester St will look when
finished.
The paving work will continue,
followed by the planting of new
trees and then a priority route
for public transport will be
added.
Tucked away behind the fences
and cones, initial earthworks are
under way on the first East Frame
superlot, with construction work
on the 2800 sq m site, near the
Canterbury Club, starting next
month.
The East Frame will include
900 townhouses and apartments,
bringing more residents to the
regenerating city centre.
These significant projects are
going on in a relatively small
space, so I encourage everyone to
keep supporting the businesses in
the area, grab a coffee and wander
down the new pathway.
•Gerry Brownlee is
Minister supporting Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
Readers respond to
news that the intersection
of Ilam, Middleton and
Riccarton Rds, which was
ranked as the city’s second
most dangerous, will be
upgraded in 2019
Russell Vaughan,
Redwood – I travelled for 30
years until 2004 through this
intersection and during some of
that time there were no lights.
There were many chances,
which I lobbied the city council
over, to change the approaches
by cutting back the opposing
corners on Middleton Rd and
Ilam Rd, thus creating better
visibility and road markings for
traffic turning right onto Riccarton
Rd.
After the earthquakes, there
was a chance to cut back on the
veterinary clinic side of Ilam Rd.
No meaningful changes were
ever made. Now the costs are
said to be $1 million, and nothing
done until 2019.
The confusion over right-hand
turning traffic swinging across
each other, and pedestrians,
cyclists and vehicles competing
for priority, continues to plague
this intersection. It’s arguably
the most confusing intersection
in Christchurch.
Jan Nolan, Upper
Riccarton – I don’t think $1
million needs to be spent on this
TRICKY: A car on Riccarton Rd breaks to avoid a car turning into
Ilam Rd. The intersection is ranked as the city’s second most
dangerous.

intersection. Just put dedicated
right turning arrows from Ilam
Rd and Middleton Rd into
Riccarton Rd. All fixed.
Annie McConnochie,
Upper Riccarton, responds
to a joint transport
committee report on the
need to improve public
transport uptake in greater
Christchurch over the
coming decades
It could be an interesting
idea to look into suggesting or
requesting those Government
staffers and council members to
consider taking the bus one day
a week.
This would be to ease traffic
congestion, and also to set a
good example and to check out
suggestions bus drivers have to
offer in regard to intersections
where it could help to have
a green right-turn arrow –
mainly at very busy intersections
– so they are not compelled to
run the red light to carry on and
keep to their time schedule and
so on.
SMALL CHANGE
MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE
Twice a year we clear the Community Fund collection boxes at
Christchurch Airport and share the money across the community.
Kiwi dollars, international currency, small change from your cup
of coffee, plus a top-up donation from us, all add up for local
charities and community projects.
180 Degrees Trust uses outdoor adventures to inspire

develop self-awareness, confidence and decision making
skills and so initiate a turnaround in young people’s lives.

‘Protect our water’
Readers respond to
news the Santa Parade
may be forced to finish up
after it had its city council
funding cut last year. The
parade failed to get any
guarantee it would be
funded this year, so a public
campaign to save it has
been launched at www.

urch000
AT-RISK: The annual Santa Parade is now in jeopardy
because of funding problems.
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS
Michael J Brathwaite –
The Santa Parade is as worthy
as any of the other public events
the council sponsors. I’m certain
that the 83 per cent of us who
are motorists would rather see
around $100,000 spent on that
than see untold millions wasted
on cycle lanes used by fewer
than 15 per cent of us. Whereas
the Santa Parade brings pleasure
to a large percentage of our residents,
cycle lanes make driving
a nightmare with the restrictions
on parking and turning
into side streets, along with the
extra traffic lights.
Jo Hayes-Smith – What is
wrong with the city council. We
have been ratepayers for 33 years
and we are appalled they are
not totally funding the parade.
$200,000 is a drop in the bucket.
How mean-spirited they are.
John Thompson – The
city council sponsored the New
Zealand Women’s Open golf to
the tune of $450,000. There is
no golf anymore so they could
use some of that for the Santa
Parade.
Nideen Kidd – Oh my
goodness what sad, sad news to
hear! Maybe if they just stuck
with the theme of Santa floats
and not just a truck with people
holding up a sign saying where
they are from, banging on
drums and blowing whistles.
They are losing sight of entertaining
the kids. Last year’s one
looked like they had a float from
every country!
To me, that’s not a Santa
parade. I could see my child
and many others getting very
bored and asking: Is this for
Christmas?
Would be very sad to lose this
icon.
AS WE close in
on election day, it
is becoming clear
that Bill English
and National have
a strategy to hit the
pause and delay button
on the hard issues.
In the last few days, we’ve
seen them kick the can of water
bottling down the road to the
never-never of the post-election
paradise. This is neither good
enough nor acceptable.
Water is an incredibly valuable
public resource and it is being used
for commercial profit. I believe
that the public have a right to get a
return for New Zealand on this.
Most people would say that
if you’re coming here, taking
this water, putting it in a bottle,
charging a premium, and sending
it overseas, then fairness dictates
that you should contribute
something back. I also believe
that voters deserve to know where
their politicians stand on this issue
before the election.
Nick Smith has been contorting
all over the place on this issue
and has tried to justify National’s
failure to confront the issue by
arguing that bottled water is a tiny
fraction of the trillions of litres of
fresh water in New Zealand. This
is both irrelevant and misleading.
In the numbers he is employing,
he includes all the water in floods
and all the river water that is not
even clean enough to swim in, let
alone drink.
In Christchurch and
Canterbury, we have an incredibly
precious, scarce and valuable
resource in our pristine mineral
water that is clean enough to
drink without treatment. From
Ashburton, to Belfast to Kaiapoi,
we have seen communities
horrified at the prospect of giving
away millions of litres of this
precious resource for as little as the
occasional $100 administration fee
to the local council.
Nick Smith has dismissed
these concerns as trivial. This
is not good enough. We need a
Government which will stand
up for us and protect our water.
Bill English and his National
Government have proven time and
time again that they’re just not up
to the task.

The Blind Care Company has been
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds
for over 60 years. Those six decades

and in every colour or pattern popular
since the 1960s.

Company has the expertise to keep your
window treatments looking fresh and

bought are a perfect fit.

years. Whatever the job involves, they
will work hard to make sure it gets done,
including one job of 800 blinds which
they completed in 4 days.

Rappers face off in battle
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THERE IS one person Selwyn
Hose will not want to see in the
audience when he gets up on
stage this weekend – his mum.
He is one of the local rappers
preparing for the RedZone Live
Christchurch Rap Battle this
weekend, where they will face
off against others visiting from
around the country.
The rap battle is a way to
encourage up-and-coming
Christchurch hip hop talent.
But Hose, known in the hip
hop community as True, said
nothing will be safe from the
flying insults when the rap battle
starts – even his mother.
“My mum has heard some of
this stuff and she’s not impressed
. . . she’s like, why bring me into
it?”
But although the insults will
fly, he said there was more than
that to winning a rap battle.
The battle will have three
rounds and the winner of each
round will be judged based on
their flow, style, cadence and wittiness
of their lines, he said.
He said it took hours of preperation
– including hours spent
studying an opponent for their
weaknesses.
Music, rather than battle rap,
was his first love.
He writes and records around
his day job as a broadband cable
jointer.
But he’s loved rap since he was
about 10, and discovered a rap
cassette tape at his local op-shop.
“Me and my friends at school
would freestyle to each other,
and over time that turned into
battling each other, and it developed
from there, the love of it,”

STORIES ABOUT a wool shed
used after World War 2 to store
equipment and dragon boating
on the Avon have been shared
through an online red zone ideamapping
tool.
Regenerate Christchurch has
been working to collect people’s
stories from the land before it
makes decisions about the future
of the red zone.
Chief executive Ivan
Iafeta said he was open to all
ideas from the community, right
down to Christchurch’s youngest
residents.
More than 1000 children’s ideas
for the red zone have already
been collected on postcards.
Some asked for theme parks or
zoos, but about a quarter asked
for green spaces.
“Children are the future users,
leaders and residents of our city
and we’re creating a legacy for
them,” Mr Iafeta said.
The online feedback on the red
zone was originally planned to
close this month, but has been
extended until April 24.
Next month, workshops for
young design teams are set to
be held, where they can share
their ideas while being helped
The Star
BIG IDEAS: More than 1000
ideas for the red zone have
been shared by children,
through the process by engineers
and designers.
This weekend, a community
day will be held, where people
can take free guided tours of
the red zone, give feedback and
share their ideas.
•The red zone community
day will run from 10am-
3pm on Saturday at Haeata
Community Campus,
240 Breezes Rd, Wainoni.
Stories and information
about red zone land can
also be shared online
until April 24 at engage.

Actor gets married, takes on drag queen role
CENTRE STAGE: Tom Worthington as Adam Whitely (left), Isaac
Pawson as Anthony ‘Tick’ Belrose and Cameron Douglas as
Bernadette Bassenger in Showbiz Christchurch’s production of
Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE FIRST time Isaac
Pawson was transformed into
a drag queen he thought he
would feel quite self-conscious
and uncomfortable.
But the moment
he stepped into what
were “very steep
heels”, caked on
the make-up and
dressed in bright
attire, he felt himself
come out of his shell.
“I kind of got this
feeling of what it
could be like and
why people do it . . . you are
not quite yourself. You can put
on a bit of character and add
some new attributes,” he said.
Naturally an introvert,
Pawson, 22 has found
pursuing an acting career
and playing particularly
flamboyant roles has helped
push him out of his comfort
zone.
The Cashmere resident
will feature in one of the
leading roles in Showbiz
Christchurch’s latest
production of Priscilla Queen
of the Desert.
Playing Anthony ‘Tick’
Belrose – whose drag name is
Isaac
Pawson
‘Mitzi Mitosis’ – it will be his
first major role in a large-scale
show since graduating from
the National Academy of
Singing and Dramatic Art last
year.
The musical tells the story
of two Sydney drag queens
and a male transgender who
are contracted to travel to
Alice Springs to put on a
drag show.
As part of a journey of
self-discovery for the three
friends, Tick finally gets to
meet his son after coming
out as gay.
Pawson said while the show
will be a “feast of the eyes”
and filled with quick, fiery
one-liners and sass, it carries a
strong message of acceptance
and not judging people for the
way they appear to be.
“We want to represent the
real people who experience
this lifestyle of drag and
obviously have quirks about
them but are still genuine
real people that aren’t just
characters,” he said.
Pawson got married to his
best friend of more than 10
years, Beth Alexander, just last
month.
“We are not ones to stick
to tradition a lot of the time
just for the sake of it and we
knew we wanted to be together
forever so we thought why not
make that official now,” he
said.
But it has not been easy for
the couple who have barely
seen each other since their
marriage.
While Pawson has been
busy with Priscilla Queen
of the Desert, his Aucklandbased
wife has been shooting
a television feature on
the famous New Zealand
thoroughbred racehorse, Kiwi.
“It has been really tough
and is not something I would
recommend to anyone, but
it comes with the territory
of being in this industry,”
Pawson said.
He is planning to move up
to Auckland to be with his
wife shortly after the show
finishes.

Desert will run at the
Isaac Theatre Royal from

Play questions our tolerance
The Curious Incident of
the Dog in the Night-
Time, adapted by Simon
Stephens from the novel
by Mark Haddon, directed
by Lara Macgregor, at the
Court Theatre
Reviewed by Barry
Southam
THIS PRODUCTION has a
stellar performance from Tim
Earl about a troubled young
man who can’t bear being
touched.
The young man, Christopher,
is certainly not your
normal person – his take on
language is different from
yours and mine and he is a
whizz at mathematics.
The play celebrates Christopher
who is most certainly an
outsider of the first order. He

discover who has murdered
a dog with a pitchfork. In the
process he beats himself up
and angers his father who just
wants him to stay out of other
people’s business.
Mark Wright as the father
was initially too loud in his
frustration, but fortunately
tones it down quickly. His son
is very much the centre of the
play. The characters surrounding
Christopher are revealed
by readings from a book
Christopher has written. The
The Star
device works well and we also
get to know Christopher in all
his differences.
At one point a circular railway
track descends onto the
stage around which a toy train
travels, though the significance
of this is not immediately
obvious.
However, in a later scene
Christopher struggles with
the London tube, the chaos of
which is brilliantly portrayed
on the Court’s stage. The play
has Christopher on the verge
of autism and expects us to
examine our own attitudes to
people who are not the same
as us. We are being required to
“walk in someone else’s shoes,”
and thus become more accepting
of difference, to be more
patient and tolerant in our
dealings with others.
Tim Earl played the part of
Christopher in an Auckland
production before coming
to Christchurch and thus a
very well-rounded rendition
results. He is backed by an accomplished
cast as you would
expect from the team at The
Court. Well worth seeing.

Emphasising the qualities
for a positive disposition
Academic success
When considering what our
young people need in order to be
positive, successful
and contributing
citizens the following
positive dispositions,
alongside formal
qualifications,
are thought to be
important: empathy,
self-control, integrity,
embracing diversity
and grit.

learning, ability and disability.
We fairly well represent New
Zealand society and
as such, our students
study alongside
students from varying
backgrounds. Through
this alone they
develop empathy,
self-control, and a
deep understanding
of diversity which we
embrace. Our students
develop into young
adults where they are
strong in their own
identity; they have
integrity.
We know that Hillmorton students
www.hillmorton.school.nz
take a broad range of pathways
on leaving school including
university, and understand
the value of hard work and
determination.
We continue to work to
understand how to teach in ways
that help to develop “grit” and
resiliency. We know to praise
“effort” and I encourage all
parents to do the same.
Working together, our young
people are developing the positive
dispositions, skills and knowledge
needed so that they can indeed
create great futures.

Visiting science show popular with students
The Science Roadshow is a touring exhibition
of demonstrations and hands-on interactive
exhibits teaching students about science and
technology.
It provides an exciting and stimulating
blend of science-technology education and
entertainment. Each year the roadshow tours
with an
entirely new
programme
of more than
60 handson
exhibits,
two informative and entertaining demonstrations, and
various resources and activities for schools.
The opportunity to get their hands on the various
exhibits proved very popular with all the Year 7 to 10
students who visited.
Performance enthralls combined audience
The hall was
packed this week
with students
from Our Lady
of Assumption
and Hoon Hay as
Hillmorton hosted
New Zealand
Opera’s Schools’
performance of Don
Pasquale.
The students were
enthralled and in
particular loved the
guest appearance
of an OLA staff
member!
Athletes give their best
To attain personal bests
(PBs) or records in any
sport, at any level is a great
goal for any athlete.
At Hillmorton High School,
there are some longstanding
records that have
stood the test of time.
Beverley Peterson, who
attended Hillmorton in the
1970s, went on to compete
for New Zealand. She still
holds a number of track and
field records at the school
and at Canterbury Secondary
Schools’ level: her record for the
Under 19 Girls 100 metres still
stands.
Though the competition was tough
at the recent school athletics with
many students giving their best,
there are still a number of records
remaining from the 1970s, and the
oldest from 1966!
Records were set in the pool also
– with para-athlete, Celyn Edwards
breaking
Under 16
Butterfly, 33.3
metres! Lots
of students
attained PBs
in the pool!
Perhaps we
will see more
records being

young people
WINNER: Dave Mitchell, Addington.
LAKE WANAKA: Mary Shirtcliffe, Hornby.
KOMBI: Jaran Parker, 12,
Rolleston.
From city girl to sharemilker to equity
farmer, North Canterbury’s Wendy Croft has
come a long way in a sector that allows young
people to work hard and prosper.
“I was working in a bank before I got into
farming. I had never milked a cow, but we got
into sharemilking to save money, and it was
easier for me to manage it than to get someone
else to do it.”
Three years ago Wendy
enrolled in Ara Institute
of Canterbury’s NZ
Diploma in Agribusiness
Management; a practical
qualification for working
farmers that is delivered
online with face to face
tutorials in Culverden.
The programme is
run with the Primary
ITO and was rated as
“excellent” by the New
Zealand Qualifications
Authority (NZQA) in a
recent report.
With two young
children and a business
to run, Wendy balanced her studies with her
family and work commitments.
““I think my husband and I worked together
every day for three years! It was hard, and it’s
not for everyone. It’s challenging but it’s really
rewarding.”
Does she miss her city lifestyle? “Yes,
sometimes I miss the city, but I love the lifestyle
here – I have good neighbours and good staff.”

Student accommodation
facility up for auction
NEWLY-opened Canterbury
University student
accommodation, which was
converted from a rest home, is to
be sold by its Hamilton owners
who have committed to their
next project.
Kirkwood Avenue Hall accommodating
74 full-time
students, opened this year, as a
self-catered facility for first year
students.
The property, from 7-15
Kirkwood Ave was previously St
Nicolas Aged Care Facility, operated
by Bupa New Zealand.
The change from a rest home
to university accommodation
was contentious, with neighbouring
residents concerned it
would result in more traffic and
noise.
They were also worried about
the lack of consultation on it,
because it was a non-notified
resource consent.
But the university got the goahead
in November 2015 when
resource consent was granted.
Colliers International
Christchurch investment broker
Courtney Doig is marketing the
property for auction on April 13.
The land holding of 5900 sq m
is in three titles and the building

building that was converted from the St Nicolas Aged Care
facility is up for sale.
itself covers 2630 sq m.
Ms Doig said the new hall had
helped to address a scarcity of
quality student accommodation
close to the university. The university
had a 12-year lease on the
recently-refurbished property
with a further right of renewal of
nine years.
“This is a highly sought
after area, right in the heart of
residential Ilam/Upper Riccarton.
There are a number of
savvy buyers looking for student
accommodation investments,
however, there have been very
few conversions of this scale and
quality.”
Ms Doig said six ownership
units just along the road at 12
Kirkwood Ave, also leased by the
university, sold in 2015 for $1.4
million.
“We think this latest property
will be snapped up by someone
looking for a significant land
holding with a solid tenant covenant
that earns annual rent of
$320,000 net,” she said.

PEOPLE I 2
For people who don’t want hearing aids but need them
Audiologist, Greg Foote, has served the
Canterbury region for many years.
One of the most common complaints
Greg hears is “Everyone mumbles”, this
is perhaps the first sign of hearing loss.
Other common statements include: “I
can’t hear in noisy places”, “My family
complains the TV is too loud”, “I often
misunderstand what is being said to me”.
If any of these comments sound like
you, it might be time to talk with an
audiologist.
Like most things associated with our
body, the saying ‘use it or lose it’, holds
true for hearing.
Current research suggests that people
who suffer from hearing loss may have
an overall increased risk of physical and
mental health deterioration. The overall
message to take away from this is to
treat the hearing loss sooner rather than
later, before brain changes may occur.
Hearing loss manifests itself in many
ways, and quality of life for all concerned
deteriorates. It is stressful for those
communicating with a person with
hearing loss and fatiguing for the hearing
impaired individual as they need to
concentrate more to understand what is
being said. This increased concentration
can cause difficulty when multi tasking at

home, in group situations or driving. Due
to the effort of trying to focus on speech,
listening fatigue has even been shown to
increase the risk of falls in older adults.
The latest hearing aid technology offers a
person the ability to listen and understand
in a variety of listening situations with a
minimal ease on the users part. Hearing
aids reduce the listening effort in multiple
activities including communication.
Appropriately fitted hearing aids and
realistic expectations of the wearer
provide an improved quality of life.
Hearing aids come in a variety of styles
and options to fit individual needs. For
a person who wants total convenience
to adjust their hearing aids, there is an
optional range of wireless accessories
including a Smartphone and in some cases
you can leave your initial appointment
with a hearing aid fitted and adjusted to
your personal preference.

how to best resolve your hearing
problem, initial consultation and hearing

4 QUESTIONS WITH...andrew little - Labour leader
1> I imagine it must be hard to find
time for exercise, what do you do to
stay in shape?
You do have to make the time for it so I
build a lot of fitness into my daily routines. I
like to take the stairs whenever I can which
my staff love when they accompany me back
to the office! I walk as many places as I can.
I do the dog walking duties at home as much
as I can. I tend to take Harry on the power
walks so we go up the steep hills not just for
his aerobic fitness, but mine too. When I can
get into the gym I do. I get in the kayak when
I can, and on the bike too in the summer time.
In winter, I try to get one or two days skiing
in. All that adds up to staying fit and then
there’s the basics, watching your diet, good
nutrition, sleep and a balanced life.
2> 2017 saw the removal of your
glasses. Was this under a stylist’s
guidance or are we set to see a bit of a
mini-makeover?
I made the decision last year about contacts
and also looked into laser surgery too. It was
mainly because when I was reviewing videos
of myself I could see how my glasses were
cutting my eyeline off. To be honest I never
had a good pair that haven’t cut my eyeline off.
I wore contacts a lot when I was younger so
I thought I’d go back to that. The good thing
is you get your full peripheral vision back so it
does make a difference. And it’s one less thing
to worry about, what’s on your face. It feels
better, it feels lighter on my face and so I feel
better. No stylist was harmed in the making
of this change!
3> You’re clearly a fighter for the
underdog having spent years as a lawyer
for the Engineers Union but you’re
also a fighter and survivor of prostate
cancer. Can you tell us if your diagnosis
made your focus or shift your focus on
any issues?
You’re confronted with your mortality and
it does make you think about your
priorities and what you want to achieve in life.
It does make you value the people around
you, especially family who are closest to you.
If things turn out differently you know they’re
the ones most affected so you think very
carefully about that. It’s not that I left a lot to
chance, but you do take a bit more control of
your life knowing that anything can happen at
any time and you want to make the best out
of it every day of your life and achieve your
goals.
4> What do you do to unwind/relax
after a big working day?
Increasingly it’s music. Whoever invented
Spotify has done me a wonderful favour
because you can take it anywhere. If I’m in a
hotel room at the end of the day or even at
home winding down I dig out the phone and
crank up Spotify. Just half an hour of that is
really helpful. If it’s earlier in the day and it’s a
pleasant evening and I’m at home I sit out the
back with a book or head down to the beach
with the kayak or take the dog for another
long walk often with my wife Leigh as well, so
I find plenty of ways to relax.

3 I TRAVEL
the other garden city
It’s a popoular belief that Singapore is merely another big city
that is little more than a convienient gateway to other
destinations in Southeast Asia. Spend a day there and you’ll
very quickly squash this myth.
Compact, clean and convienient, Singapore’s
diverse melting pot of cultures and races
means there’s never a dull corner. Known as
the most expensive city in the world it’s ironic
that Singpore is also the home to a huge
number of eclectic budget shops, and
incredibly cheap street food.
If like me you’re happy to explore by foot,
Singapore is an incredibly easy to navigate
country. Geographically it’s small, only 720
km2, so if it’s shopping you’re after, you’ll only
need to travel as far as the iconic Orchard
Road to find the 2 kilometres of retail therapy
heaven,
To step away from the towering
skyscrapers and busy traffic it’s only a short
taxi ride to quaint neighbourhoods where
tradition meets modernity, such as
Chinatown, Dempsey Hill and Tiong Bahru.
Tiong Bahru, is an incredible little historic
community that still retains some of its
ramshackle charm. With small lanes and an
obvious nod towards Art Deco architecture,
you can purchase a ‘kopi’ from one of the
traditional coffee shops or visit the bustling
sunday markets. Or as a complete contrast
peruse hipster boutiques for one-of-a-kind
jewelry and clothing and linger over a
cappachino at one of the trendy new haunts.
A trip to Singapore isn’t comlete without
trying a fish spa. Put your feet in the tank of
warm freshwater containing loads of
Garra rufa fish. These ‘doctor fish’ nibble
away dry or dead skin and emit a micro
vibrating sensations which massages your
feet.
If you prefer your fish on your plate,
discovering local flavours at one of the wet
markets is a must. Wet market is so-called
because people throw buckets of water on
the ground after cleaning fish and so the floor
is more than often wet. A popular choice is
the vibrant and colorful Tikka market. With
nearly 300 stalls, a food court and
shopping area, unlike most other wet markets
in Singapore that close at midday, the hum of
the Tikka market continues until late
afternoon.
Do as the locals do and join a snaking
hawker queue to feast on authentic local eats.
Unlike some of Singapores neighbours you
neednt worry that your chicken skewer might
make you spend the rest of the trip in the
bathroom, all of the street food is now served
in government-regulated Hawker centres. It’s
easy to tell which are the best vendors: the
longer the line, the better the food.
For an activity that’s more serine, swing by
the Singapore Botanic Gardens and explore
the lush plants and flowers. There’s the cloud
forest, which features a jaw dropping 35m tall
mountain covered in tropical plants with the
world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Take a lift to
the top of the mountaintop to take a stroll
along a walkway in the clouds for a stunning
aerial view of the mountainside below. The
flower dome is equally impressive, as the
largest glass greenhouse in the world with an
awe inspiring and ever-changing collection of
mediteraneon flowers.
Much like the neighbourhood contrasts
between old and new, you can easily enjoy
Singapore on a shoestring budget, but it’s
equally as easy to splurge.

The idea of the Christchurch to Little River
Railtrail was to transform the former railway
route into a trail catering for walkers and
cyclists wanting to avoid the busy traffic on
the main road and enjoy the stunning vistas of
the area.
The full track will take you a good 38kms
to ride but it’s been designed so you can bike
bite size sections of it. Each section holds it’s
own unique draw cards, so grab your bike and
nibble off some of the trail.
HORNBYTO PREBBLETON
Distance: 4KM Difficulty: EASY
This section starts about 400 m south of the
Shands Road/Halswell Junction Road
intersection on Shands Road where a small
car park is available. Fully sealed the track
takes you through Prebbleton on the old
railway corridor.
PREBBLETON TO LINCOLN
Distance: 10KM Difficulty: EASY
The track starts at the Birchs Road/Trices
Road intersection and is a seven kilometer
off-road ashphalt pathway alongside Birchs
Road to the township of Lincoln. It runs
alongside the original railway line through
pleasant rural surroundings and is wide
enough to enable cycling in both directions.
LINCOLN TO AHURIRI RESERVE
Distance: 10KM Difficulty: EASY
This section connects Lincoln to the Ahuriri
Reserve utilising a number of sub-sections and
on-road segments.
AHURIRI TO MOTOKARARA
Distance: 4KM Difficulty: EASY
The route is adjacent to the Halswell
Canal but deviates away onto farmland for a
approximately 1.7 kilometers to reduce the
impact of disturbance on the visiting bird life.
The bird life will be a key attraction of this
unique wetland area.
MOTOKARARA TO BIRDLINGS FLAT
Distance: 13KM Difficulty: EASY
Most of this section of the Railtrail runs
alongside Lake Ellesmere, where the railway
embankment is raised above the lake and
adjoining wetlands, affording magnificent views
of the surroundings and the prolific birdlife.
BIRDLINGS FLAT TO LITTLE RIVER
Distance: 9.7KM Difficulty: EASY
This section traverses along the old railway
embankment until it gets closer to the Little
River township. In places where the old
railway ballast is loose, a new surface of
compacted gravel was installed. The railtrail
ends a few hundred meters from the Little
River.

PERFECT POSTURE
Pilates attracts everyone from
grandmas to to corporates with its
promise of of strength and lean muscle tone.
If you If you haven’t seen a a reformer pilates
machine before, you’d be be forgiven for thinking
it it looks like like some torture apparutus. Don’t be
daunted, mat mat classes are are the the perfect place to
start start your your pilates experience.
One One of of the the key key benefits of of pilates is is
increasing body awareness and balance,
maintaining or or improving posture and
strength. Pilates exercises are are incredibly
adaptable with with the the ability to to modify around
existing injuries or or to to keep people with
specific medical issues as as safe as as possible.
If you If you have have been less less than regular with
your your excercise routine, Abbey, an an ex ex dancer
and and owner of of Movementor Pilates says that
hopefully by beginning to move again you’ll
release some muscle tension and improve
your connective tissue elasticity and function.
She always looks for comfortable ranges of
movement and uses small props and a range
of Pilates tools to support or encourage good
movement.
Abbey says that the best first step is to
organise a one-to-one private assessment or
introductory session. At Movementor Pilates
they use this session to gain information
about you, your medical and fitness history
and your goals. They assess your posture and
movements and teach you the Pilates
foundation principles at your pace, before
advising on what the next step will be. We
use the reformers and other Pilates Studio
equipment in either small circuit type groups
or private sessions. Our mat classes cater for
all ages and body types but it is important to
choose the correct level for you.
GROMBRE
A lot of of the 2017 hair styles are are extensions
of of already existing trends. There’s an an updated
and gutsier version of of balayage, new new types of of
metallics and specific shades of of natural hair hair
colours. But it’s it’s the the word ‘grey’ that that is is
suddenly on on everyone’s lips. lips. Ombre hair hair on on
the otherhand, where gradual blending of of
one hair colour to to another has has been popular
for a a while. So So it it really was was only a a matter of of
time until the two combined to to create the the
ultimate super trend.
Not one to to hop on on a a bandwagon? Thought
balayage and ombre were terms just just for for
teenagers? Grey ombre might just just make you you
reconsider. With roots being kept natural
for a a low-maintenance appeal it it means more
time in in between appointments!
Grey Grey hair hair has has been been
a trend a trend for for a while a while now now
but but Grombre (Grey (Grey
Ombre) is the is the latest latest
varient that’s that’s worth worth
investigating.

SPENDING THE KIDS’
INHERITANCE (S.K.I.)
WORDS FLEUR MCDONALD
Whenever I go out into the community to
talk to people about the need for clients of
all ages to have Wills and Enduring Powers,
we often end up talking about Retirement
Villages or Residential Care. What is it likely
to cost them? What they are entitled to?
What aren’t they entitled to? Often, one of
the most important concerns for our parents
and grandparents generation is how that will
impact on their ability to leave something to
their children or grandchildren?
Our parents and grandparents have worked
hard over their lifetimes so this is a time
where they should be enjoying the fruits of
their labours. However, two World Wars
and the Great Depression has encouraged
them to be careful in their spending and to
save for that “rainy day”. They will often forgo
that new car or that trip overseas for fear of
breaking into savings or investments.
That philosophy can have real implications
for them as the more they keep safe for that
rainy day, the more they may have to pay if
and / or when they need residential care.
The current asset threshold for a Work and
Income Residential Care Subsidy is $219,889
for a single person or for a couple when both
are in care or $120,416 for a couple where
one is still living in the family home.
If the value of their assets, whether the
assets are held jointly or separately, is over
that threshold, our parents and / or
grandparents will be required to pay for their
care. Also they need to be aware that, if their
investments are earning interest, that interest
will also need to go toward paying their care
costs.
Often, there isn’t much we can do. We
may be able to change the way they own
their home or set up a Funeral Trust, but in
the end, if they have assets over the
threshold, they will be expected to use those
assets to pay for any care costs they may have
in the future.
We recommend that your parents and /
or grandparents sit down and get some good
advice in relation to their savings, investments
and the legal structures they currently have in
place. Talking to an Authorised Financial
Advisor and their Legal Advisor will give them
a clearer idea of what they have and what
their options are.
If all else fails, maybe they should give
some serious thought to Spending their Kids
Inheritance.
As with all areas of law, it is important that
you seek good advice from a team who
understand how this area may impact on you.
At Harmans we have experience with all
areas of Seniors Law. Contact Fleur
McDonald on 03 352 2293 to arrange an
appointment to discuss your situation.

ARTHRITIS AID AND CIRCULATION BOOSTER
It all started when a worried wife from Kapiti
found a way of relieving her husband’s
severe arthritic pain and stiffness. She
created a device she called an Aircycle.
Arthritis carers were so impressed with the
relief and increased joint mobility this man
experienced they asked for more to be made
available to other sufferers.
Consequently, a cousin of the creator, Jenny
Watson from Lower Hutt started Aircycle
Ltd which has grown to the extent that the
exerciser can now be purchased through
most pharmacies and mobility centres.
Jenny has now retired and sold the business
to Sue Bustard who lives in Kapiti where
Aircycle originated.
Sue says ‘I’m really excited with the
feedback from so many people who have
benefited from this simple invention’. A few
examples follow:
‘My ankles are half the size and I can wear
my shoes again’ Mrs Johnson, Tauranga.
‘I don’t get woken at night with painful
cramps in my legs’. Mike, Oamaru.
‘My hands no longer throb all night’ Sue,
Whangarei.
Used by hospitals, rest homes, diabetes
clinics, podiatrists and physiotherapists, it’s
helpful for the following:
• Arthritis and stiff joints
• Diabetes, Parkinson’s, MS and Stroke
rehabilitation
• Building muscle to prevent falls
• Cramps and restless legs
• Aching hands and feet
• Swollen ankles
• Deep vein thrombosis
Simple and inexpensive, it aids joints and
muscles to move gently while sitting having
coffee, reading, watching TV, working at a
desk or travelling by car or plane.

perfectly staged
When our Real Estate agent strongly
advised that we enlist a team of stylists to
help ‘dress’ our property, I immediatly thought
that this was just another unjustfied expense.
Why on earth can’t a potential buyer imagine
a new property with their furniture in it?
Surely putting lemons in an expensive bowl
on the bench, karate chopped cushions and
an artfully strewn rug on the sofa couldn’t
mean someone would be swayed in to
spending more. While I never discounted the
fact that stylists are extremely good at their
job, curating furniture pieces to fit together
into a seemly perfect setting, free of everyday
clutter, it was the thought of this ‘property
staging’ as being necessary now for the
purpose of fuelling a buyers imagination that
urked me.
To get to the bottom of this realitively new
business Jasmine and Rebeka from In House
Style took on my questions and I have to
admit that I’ve done a complete 180 in my
thinking. The way I now look at ‘dressing’ your
home for sale is: why wouldn’t you spend a
small amount more on property staging if
there’s even the smallest chance that it might
sway the opinoins of those who hold the
purse strings? If it might mean the difference
between a quick sale for a higher dollar then
you’d be mad not to take a punt and call in a
styling specialist.
Here’s what Jasmine and Rebeka had to say...
What would you say to people that
think they don’t need professional
advice and can’t see the expense as
being justified?
IN HOUSE STYLE: We see property styling
as one of the most important investments
you can make when selling your property.
Property Styling enables buyers to
emotionally connect with a property plus its
inspires them with how their own furniture
could work there. It also shows your
property off at it’s absolute best. Property
Styling will often result in a quicker sale at a
higher price.

Do you prefer to work with a blank
canvases/empty home or can you
provide an add-on package to include
existing furniture?
IN HOUSE STYLE: We do prefer to
completely style an empty property as we can
achieve an overall cohesive look. We do offer
a partial styling service, where we can
potentially use some existing pieces which
will work with the look we are trying to
achieve.
Do you change your staging to suit
the potential buyer in-mind or do you
stick to a tried and tested look?
IN HOUSE STYLE: As each property is
completely individual, we will always style it
with a look that works for that specific space.
We do understand what generally works and
appeals to the majority of potential buyers
but at the same time we don’t use a “cookie
cutter” package for every house. We have a
varied range of different styles of furniture to
complement different types of properties,
from character homes to contemporary new
builds.
Where do you source your staging
products? Are the pieces available to be
bought?
IN HOUSE STYLE: We have a range of
suppliers, both locally and overseas where we
source the majority of our pieces. If someone
is interested in specific pieces we are always
happy to source these for them.
What’s your background? How did
you get in to the property staging
business?
IN HOUSE STYLE: We come from a
background of Real Estate and Interiors. Two
years ago we saw a gap in the market and the
opportunity to create a property styling
business that Christchurch hadn’t had
previously. We focus heavily on detail and use
beautiful unique pieces which are individual to
us and our brand.

TUCK IN TO A FOOD
TRUCK
Food trucks have dominated the
foodie scene for a while now and
the trend is still on the rise.

CUISINE I 8
Serves

The mobile food vendor you’d typically find
at the local show has now morphed in to a
the very respectable gourmet truck, but the
allure is still the same. Rather than being
limited to deep-fried options you’ll now find
an array of foods to suit even the most
dicerning palatte.
Trucks are the perfect way to get lip
smacking food at under half the price you’d
pay in a restaurant. We’ve rounded up a few
of our favourite Christchurch trucks.
PEDROS HOUSE OF LAMB
14b Papanui Rd
Open daily: 4.00pm-8pm
For truely melt in your mouth meat, Pedro’s
is the only place to go. Order a full lamb
shoulder cooked with plenty of garlic and
rosmary and amazingly flavoursome scalloped
potatos.
TIKI TACO
ReSTART Mall
Open daily: 9.00am-5.30pm
Tiki Taco is Kiwi/Mexican fusion at it’s best.

FRITZ’S WIENERS
ReSTART Mall
Open daily: 9.00am-5.30pm
* Ricarton Market on Saturdays
The highest quality, mouth watering, smoked
bratwurst in a freshly baked baguette bun,
garnished with onions or sauerkraut and
topped with your favourite mustard, it’s easy
to see why millions of customers agree that
Fritz’s Wieners are the best thing since
someone thought of putting a bratwurst in a
bun!
THE VAGABOND CHEFS
Keep a watch on their website to see where
they’ll be! http://www.thevagabondchefs.co.nz
Serving top notch street food, the
Vagabonds’ mantra is ‘fun, fast, and friggin
delish’.
Morgan and Andy are the chefs, who are
serious about flavour and avoiding
seriousness. Their location and menu changes
daily and literally every dish packs an
impressive punch.
INGREDIENTS:
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
1 teaspoon of curry powder
A good pinch of chilli flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato paste
This soup is jazzed
up with some spices
and chilli , as well as a
secret ingredient -
peanut butter! which
gives the soup a subtle
satay flavour that is
really delicious.
1.3 -1.4 kilos (skin off) butternut, chopped into 3cm chunks (I have also used pumpkin)
5 cups of chicken stock
4 – 5 tablespoons of peanut butter
1 – 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
To serve: chopped coriander, chopped red chilli, plain unsweetened yoghurt (all optional)
METHOD:
Heat olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Cook onions and garlic for 5 minutes until
onion is soft. Add spices and chilli flakes and fry for a few minutes, then add tomato paste and
fry for a further minute. Add a little water at any time if onions or spices are sticking. Add
butternut and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, lower heat and cook until butternut is soft, about
15 minutes.
Transfer to a food processor (or blender) along with peanut butter. Blend until smooth.
Season to taste with lemon juice, salt and pepper. (If you have used stock made from stock
powder the soup may not need salt).
Divide soup between bowls and garnish with a dollop of yoghurt if using, and chopped
coriander and chilli if using.

attention like a guard would

These tall, stately
biannuals add a

Classically, they marry

I plant them in a few
places, from larger tubs
and containers, to along
a picket fence behind

minimal width and require
little room to flourish. The

are a welcome focal point,
diverting attention away
from the asparagus’s scraggy

otherwise make the bed an

Soil – It’s so Important
I admit, I have cringe worth moments
when in I’m in box stores and I see
shoppers purchasing cheap soil.
People invest precious time, effort and
resources when planting a great flower,
veggie or ornamental garden, but really
before you plant anything the most
important investment should start
with the soil.
The soil is what helps to give any plant
it’s vigour, nutrients and water
requirements for life. Please take my
advice and purchase the best soil you can
afford, your plants will thank you for it
with more flowers, faster growth and
a bountiful harvest.
What soils to use when?
• Compost – By using compost, you
improve the soil structure, texture
and aeration and increase the soil’s
water-holding capacity. The organic
matter in compost provides food for
microorganisms, keeping the soil in
a healthy, balanced condition. Ideal for
veggie gardens, incorporated with other
soil medias when planting new plants
or to top up the garden.
• Potting & Basket Mix – As we use
ourselves for houseplant and perennial
production this is a high-quality mix
suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

It is important to take care of
Hayden Foulds has some tips for the rosarians among us
CHALLENGE: A tea rose with pink petals, there are things you
can do at this time of year to ensure full colour next time they
bloom.
AUTUMN IS probably the worst
season for rose lovers.
The excitement of the first flush
of blooms is a distant memory
yet it is still too early to think
about winter pruning.
A combination of neglect
over the holiday season and the
weather takes its toll, and often
roses are looking worse for wear
as we enter autumn.
Certainly this season has been
challenging for rose growers
around the country with lots
of wind and rain and cooler
temperatures than normal pretty
much summing up the season.
There are a few things you can
do in autumn to get the best out
of your roses and also prepare for
winter time.
DEADHEADING
Continue to deadhead spent
blooms until the end of March
then leave so colourful hips can
form.
If petals blowing around the
garden bothers you, these can be
removed leaving the base of the
flower to form the hip. Hips are
often overlooked in rose growing
but provide colour and interest
at a time when there is little else
happening in the garden.
If you have summer trimmed
(usually done late January to
early February), then continue to
maintain moisture levels to keep
the plants growing.
Your reward will be a beautiful
display of blooms in March and
April. The autumn blooms tend
to be smaller than those in spring
but have more intense colouring
and better substance.
Summer trimming – for those
who don’t know – is when all
blooms and buds are removed
from the plant, an application
of fertiliser is provided and the
plants are provided with sufficient
water in order to get them
growing again.
The water and fertiliser
are crucial as without them,
growth will be stunted. Summer
trimming is also a great way to
try to get roses into bloom for
a certain date although it is a
bit of a lottery with moisture,
temperature and nutrition all
playing their part.
ASSESSING PERFORMANCE
Autumn is a great time to
assess the performance of rose
varieties in your garden.
If the plant is in its first season,
don’t be too hasty to discard
– often plants need a year to
properly settle in anyway.
This is especially so for
climbing roses, which often don’t
start producing the long growths
characteristic of them until the
second year.
Sometimes moving a rose can
give it a new lease of life. May is
a good month to move roses as
usually there is plenty of moisture
about.
If you are wishing to plant
a rose back where you have
RICH: Blooms like this Hot Chocolate are smaller, but have
more vibrant colours and better substance.
removed another one, take out
about a wheelbarrow full of
soil and swap with that from
another part of the garden and
incorporate some compost as
well.

your roses during autumn
Be careful to avoid areas that
have grown potatoes, dahlias or
tomatoes as verticillium wilt can
be a problem.
If you are looking to plant
some new roses, now is the time
to order from garden centres
and specialist nurseries, either
by mail order or online.
The new and popular varieties,
along with those varieties grown
on a standard, often sell out the
quickest.
Look around public rose
gardens in your area to ee which
varieties are performing well in
your area.
PREPARING NEW AREAS
The autumn months are a great
time for preparing new areas
for roses. Dig over the area you
are wanting to plant and fork
in some compost or well-rotted
animal manure. Add some
lime or dolomite lime and a
sprinkling of blood and bone
and incorporate into the soil. Do
not add any other fertiliser.
Autumn is also a good time to
check your soil pH, especially
if your roses don’t seem to be
doing as well as they should. The
scale measures the acidity of the
soil and ranges from 1: acidic, to
14: alkaline. Roses require a pH
of between 6 and 6.9, with 6.5
being the optimum level. If the
pH is higher or lower than this,
nutrients in the soil are ‘locked
up’ and cannot be used by the
plant. If your roses are not
thriving, then consider getting
a soil test done to determine
the pH of your garden and
from that, corrective action can
be taken to get the pH within
range.
CLEAN UP
April and May are good months
to have a good tidy up around
your roses. Hygiene is important
to prevent diseases, such as
black spot and rust, from

overwintering and infecting
new growth in the spring, so all
fallen leaves and debris needs
to be picked up and disposed of
in the rubbish. Don’t add to the
compost. It can be a bit timeconsuming,
but is well worth it.
An old pair
“of kitchen tongs is great for
reaching difficult spots and also
keeping your hands away from
the thorns.
You can continue to spray your
roses for pests and diseases if
you wish. Black spot has been
more prevalent with the wetter
summer weather this year, but
other diseases such as rust and
powdery mildew are also about,
along with insect pests like
aphids.

Continue to
deadhead spent
blooms until the
end of March.

Chippendale – Sydney suburb reborn
.kiwi
• By Mike Yardley
SHRUGGING OFF decades
of grime, crime and decay, the
once-dodgy little district of
Chippendale, is a village reborn
in Sydney.
Walk south from the Central
Railway Station down the wide
expanse of Broadway, flanked by
faded glories like the old Grace
Bros Department Store, a Queen
Anne-style bastion, crowned with
copper domes.
Feeling a fizz of anticipation,
soon shuffling into view was the
road sign “Kensington St” and the
sturdy curves of The Old Clare
Hotel. What is now one of the
city’s trending boutique design
hotels sprung from the loins of
the grimy old administration
building for Carlton & United
Brewery.
The industrial heritage-listed
site also houses the fiendishly
popular Kensington Street Social,
where the chilled out menu is all
about Mediterranean share plates,
showcasing the best of Aussie
produce and wine.
Save some room for a sweet
treat and pop into another Kensington
St haunt, Koi,
where Reynold Poernomo of
IN VOGUE: The former Carlton & United Brewery administration building is now a bustling
boutique hotel and home to the Kensington Street Social. (Right) – Spice Alley serving streetfood
cheap eats.
MasterChef fame, will exhilarate
you with his wondrous dessert
bar fare.
The real show-stopper though,
is Spice Alley, which has grown
from strength to strength in the
past couple of years. The brainchild
was Singaporean chef, Alex
Lee who envisaged the potential
of developing Sydney’s first outdoor
Singaporean-style hawker
centre, serving street-food cheap
eats.
Chippendale is also stamping
its mark on Sydney’s cultural
landscape. Over two dozen galleries,
from the imposing to the
pocket-sized can be found in the
precinct. My favourite would
have to be Judith Neilson’s White
Rabbit Gallery which houses the
world’s largest collection of contemporary
Chinese art, outside
China.
This billion-dollar wonderland
of colossal sculptures and
political pop art is electrifying
and unmissable. Other fun stops
include aMBUSH and Galerie
Pompom.
In spite of the gritty bohemian
beat to Chippendale, there’s also
an unmistakable dose of the shiny
and new. The Central Park development
is where necks swivel and
jaws-drop.
Flanked by gardens and kinetic
sculptures, One Central Park is
a futuristic 30-storey skyscraper
and a symbol of sustainability
with a cantilvered heliostat, dispersing
natural sunlight. It’s also
the world’s tallest vertical garden,
clad in over 35,000 plants. That’s
big brag factor.
If you’re wandering back to
the CBD, take a walk along the
Goods Line, reminiscent of New
York’s High Line.
This shared walking and cycling
path runs from Chippendale all
the way to Darling Harbour, on a
partly elevated decommissioned
railway line.

running
red lights
• By Gabrielle Stuart
CHRISTCHURCH’S growing
red light-running problem is
leaving dozens of injuries in its
wake.
In the past year, there were 65
crashes which left people
injured after drivers ran
red lights, up from 42 the
year before.
At the city’s top 10
worst intersections this
month, almost 5400
drivers ran red lights in a
single day.
That was up 31 per cent from
last year, and 64 per cent more
than in 2014.
They do not include people
turning right across an intersection
on a red light.
The worst for red light-runners
was the intersection of Blenheim
Rd and Mandeville St, where 652
were detected on a single day on
Thursday, December 1.
Police figures have also grown.
In the last year, 1491 people
were ticketed for running red
lights in Christchurch, up from
1316 the year before and 1266 in
2014.
Canterbury road policing
manager Inspector Al Stewart
(left) said he was disappointed to
see the rise.
“It puts people at risk. They
may get away with it 99
out of 100 times, but it is
that one time which could
leave someone injured or
killed,” he said.
He said police had a
focus last year on bad
driving at intersections,
which included red
light-running, and that would
continue until the numbers
improved.
People often had different
excuses when ticketed for running
red lights, but there was no
acceptable reason, he said.
“A lot of people are simply
focused on other things and
don’t see it, but that is just as
unacceptable as running a light
deliberately, because when driving
you should be focused on the
task at hand,” he said.

Benji Marshall helping Broncos on and off the field
A SURPRISE Brisbane debut
has only made Benji Marshall
hungry for more NRL action.
But the veteran playmaker
believes some of his best work
may be done off the field, helping
Ben Hunt block the “outside
noise” after his lucrative Dragons
deal.
Marshall was a shock lastminute
Broncos bench addition
in last round’s 14-12 loss at
Melbourne after Tavita Pangai Jr
(ankle) withdrew.
Marshall only played 10
minutes – at lock – off the bench,
but it was enough to make the
former Kiwis captain want more.
“It was great to get a run,”
the 32-year-old said. “If Wayne
[Bennett] wants me to keep
playing as a utility, so be it.”
Marshall believes he can also
make an impact on the sidelines
as a mentor after witnessing
the reaction to Hunt’s lucrative
Dragons move.
The ex-Dragons half said
Hunt has been under enormous
scrutiny since signing a five-year
St George Illawarra contract
from 2018, which will make the
Brisbane No 7 one of the game’s
highest-paid players.
He bristled at speculation that
Hunt may become distracted by
the deal and not be committed to
the Broncos in 2017.
“If you see the little efforts
he does that other halves aren’t
doing, putting his body on the
line for the team, that’s not a guy
who is worrying about what is
happening next year,” Marshall
said.
“From a players’ point of view,
we have faith in Ben that he is
with us.”
Marshall, on a one-year deal
with the Broncos, said he hoped
to bring the best out of Hunt
and halves partner Anthony
Milford, who have not clicked
since Brisbane’s run to the 2015
grand final.
While Hunt admitted his
halves pairing with Milford
was a “bit off”, he backed
them to step up in future clutch
plays.
Hunt says he would have a
target on his back, no matter
what he did this season, after the
Dragons deal.
“Probably,” he said. “There are
definitely people out there who
are going to keep an eye on it
more than others, but I just care
what my coach and team-mates
think.”

Ice skater’s world championship preparation not ideal
• By Gordon Findlater
A LACK of ice in Christchurch
has made preparing for an ice
hockey world championship
challenging to say the least.
Chris Eaden is the only
Christchurch-based player in the
New Zealand Ice Blacks team
to compete in the IIHF division
2 Group B Ice Hockey World
Championship in Auckland next
month.
Eaden, 26, played his last
competitive match more than
six months ago when the Canterbury
Red Devils went down
to the Southern Stampede in the
New Zealand Ice Hockey League
finals series.
Canterbury began pre-season
training last week, but it’s a far
cry from the ideal preparation
for an improved effort in the cup
race after finishing nine seconds
off the pace at the South Island
championships.
Volleyball
Burnside High School’s senior
girls’ team have a chance to win
their third straight national title
in Palmerston North. The team
went unbeaten at both the South
Island and Canterbury championships
this month, not even
dropping a set.
The squad’s two under-18 New
Zealand players, Libby Collett
and Chloe Mikaera, returned
home from China last week
after playing in the under-18
Asian championships under the
guidance of Burnside coach Sam
Ryburn. “Were tracking okay,
but it’s a very tough competition.
There’s about eight school that
can take it out so I’m expecting it

country.
“I haven’t played since August,
to be another torrid affair,” said
Ryburn.
On the boys’ side, Shirley Boys’
High School will go in as the top
Canterbury seed after winning
the Canterbury champs at the
weekend.
Tennis
St Andrew’s look a strong

you the truth,” said Eaden.
During the domestic season,

chance to win another national
mixed title in Auckland. They
looked untroubled at the South
Island championships in Timaru
this month and won the 2016
New Zealand championships
by not dropping a set against
Auckand’s St Kentigern College
in the final.
In the boys’ competition,
Eaden trains regularly with the
Canterbury team. However, during
the off-season, paying $380 a
hour to hire ice can be a stretch
for training individually.
It hasn’t stopped him from
staying in shape. Unlike the ice,
the gym is easily accessible. He
operates the Eaden Project, his
own gym on Wordsworth St.
“At the moment, everything is
done in the gym.”
The Canterbury forward has
represented New Zealand on
a number of occasions. He has
been to a trio of age-group world
championships. He was the top
point-scorer of all nations at the
under-20 division 3 World Junior
Championships in 2008.
He has also been to three
men’s championships. However,
he hasn’t done so since 2011 due
Christ’s will carry local hopes
with current New Zealand
under-16 champion Dylan Heap
leading the charge. They have a
young squad, with all the players
year 12 or younger. However,
they’re expected to be a top
four hope. Rangi Ruru and St
Margaret’s shared results at the
Canterbury and South Island
championships but will struggle
against the depth of the North
Island schools.
Cricket
St Bede’s College will fly the
flag for Canterbury at the junior
secondary school boys’ tournament
in Palmerston North.
They qualified for the year 9
and 10 tournament by defeating
Christchurch Boys in the
regional qualifying final. Year
10 student, Matt Boyle, who
also plays for the school’s first
XI, could be key to success. He
won the year 9 batting award at
the Christchurch metro cricket
youth awards after scoring 613
runs at an average of 153 in his
first year at school.
to the cost of representing New
Zealand.
Ice hockey is a pay-to-play
sport in New Zealand, meaning
players have to fund themselves
to travel to world championships.
With this year’s champs in
Auckland, Eaden believes the Ice
Blacks have their best team to
date, due to costs being less of an
issue for players.
“It’s about $3000 this year,
where as it’s normally more than
double that,” said Eaden.
Eaden flew to Melbourne with
the Ice Blacks on Tuesday.
They will play four warmup
games against Australian
domestic teams.

Highlanders ‘desperate’ for win against Brumbies
• By Steve Hepburn
THERE IS zero chance the
Highlanders are going to relax
now their derby run is over.
The Highlanders travelled to
Canberra today to take on the
Brumbies on Saturday night.
After playing the other four
New Zealand sides in the first
four rounds, the Highlanders
finally get to play an overseas
side.

Why not put me
to the test
As I do stand out
from the rest
If you’re ready to
sell then so am I
So go ahead give
me a try!!!
In fact, of their next nine
games, only one – the Blues at
Forsyth Barr Stadium on April 8
– is against a New Zealand team.
So the stage is set for the side
to get back on track and put
together a run of wins. But it is
not going to just happen.
Highlanders assistant coach
Mark Hammett said the side was
mindful of a Brumbies outfit
coming off an impressive 28-12
dismantling of the Waratahs in
Four Seasons Realty
Sydney.
‘’We’ve had a really good
look at the Brumbies and they
are a South African-style team
with x-factor as well. We are
pretty desperate. We’re not
underestimating them at all,’’
Hammett said.
‘’We have had close games
against them. They’re a great
side who had a good win in the
weekend.’’

is a sniff of desperation within
the southern franchise.
The side won only one of its
opening four games, beating
the Blues in Auckland while
losing at home to the Chiefs and
Crusaders and falling 41-15 last
Saturday to the Hurricanes in
Wellington.
Hammett said the team had to
move on from those games and
learn from them.
‘’Every game, we prepare to
win the game. We don’t go and
think it would be nice to win two
out of four or three out of four.
Of course, we want to win all of
them. There is no doubt in the
wash-up points are important
and so are bonus points.”
Malakai Fekitoa and Fletcher
Smith, who both left the field
after head knocks on Saturday,
are expected to be fit for the
match on Saturday night.

It’s like sudoku: each
vertical and horizontal
line has to contain
the numbers 1-6, and
the numbers can’t be
repeated in any row or
column.
But it’s sudoku with a
twist: The numbers in
each heavily outlined
set of squares, called
cages, must produce the
number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means
the numbers add up to 5,
9x means the numbers
multiply to equal 9.
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the
same line or row.

Tackle off-road tracks
in a Land Cruiser 70
• By Ross Kiddie
EARNING an Australasian
New Car Assessment
Program five-star safety
rating for the Land Cruiser
70 has been a breakthrough
for the Toyota Motor Co.
It means the company
now has the full support of
the enterprises which, in
the majority, are the major
purchasers of the robust
off-roader. Globally, the
Land Cruiser 70 has been
an important part of the
mining, manufacturing
and agricultural industries,
along with recreational
users who want its go-anywhere
ability.
The ANCAP safety qualification
criteria is comprehensive,
and for the Cruiser
70 to reach five stars is a
worthy achievement, albeit
at this stage only the singlecab
variant meets the criteria,
but it’s only a matter of
time before the double-cab
variant is engineered to
reach that level.
And I’m pleased to report
that the Cruiser 70 hasn’t
lost any of the fundamentals
which have earned it a rugged
and tough reputation
over the years. At the media
launch for the new series,
motoring journalists were
treated to an off-road experience
which highlighted
how well the Cruiser 70
adapts itself to conditions
where access to wheeled
transport is marginal.
Part of the reason why
the Cruiser 70 reaches its
new status is through the
electronic traction devices
which have been engineered
into the vehicle,
when you combine those
with the drive variations
through the four-wheeldrive
transfer system, the
result is a vehicle which
has grip and drive almost
unsurpassed.
The driveline can be
adapted to glean traction
on all surfaces, most
through the dual range
transfer case and differential
locking systems, the
rest by manipulating the
traction control network
to best suit the impending
surface.
The new model for 2017
hasn’t changed a lot in
appearance, there are a few
cosmetic changes here and
there, but by and large, it
still resembles the classic,
unmistakable 70-series
look.
It also has much the same
engine and transmission,
the 4.5-litre diesel-fed V8
drives through a five-speed

manual gearbox. Toyota
rates the quad-camshaft,

• Price – Toyota Land
Cruiser 70 LT, $75,780
• Dimensions – Length,
5220mm; width,
1790mm; height,
1970mm
• Configuration – V8,
four-wheel-drive,
4461cc, 151kW,
430Nm, five-speed
manual.
• Fuel usage –
10.6l/100km
Because of its low revving
nature, the engine
hauls in acceleration and
impetus from as low as
500rpm. And that is the
beauty of the engine/transmission
combination, it is
designed for hauling and
chugging away at terrain
where slow speed is most
beneficial.
The gearshift is free in
its movement and clutch
action disguises well the
comprehensive mechanicals
which lie beneath, and
the power with which it
needs to harness, the pedal
is light and progressive.
On the highway it delivers
a ride well distant to
what its load-bearing suspension
would suggest. The
ride is compliant, disguising
well the use of front
and rear live axles.
Chunky all-terrain
Dunlop tyres (225/95 x
16in) are designed to provide
grip in the loose, but
they also do an adequate
job on the highway; motion
is quiet, and while the
steering is slow and unresponsive
in a corner, if you
drive the Cruiser 70 with
respect it won’t deliver any
surprises.
As part of the new
upgrade, Toyota’s engineers
have widened the
front track considerably, so
much so that it looks a little
ungainly against a narrow
rear track, but the result is
greater stability in a corner
and traction benefits offroad.
However, the Cruiser 70
is all about a working role
and it makes no excuses for
its utilitarian appearance
and sparse level of fitment,
there are just the fundamental
in-cabin features
such as air conditioning
and audio. A reversing
camera is standard, part of
the ANCAP requirement,
but other than that the
owner or every day driver
had better get used to
adjusting the rear view mirrors
and winding the windows
manually, and there
isn’t even central locking.
However, these features are
available on a higher grade
model although that adds
an extra $6200 to the price
tag.
That aside, the LT
Cruiser 70 represents good
value at $75,780 in singlecab
form. The double-cab
lists at $79,380, while a
station wagon variant with
massive rear load space sits
at $84,980.
The test car was a singlecab
model and its deck area
was huge, long and wide.
Although its depth wasn’t
great, it served useful
purpose when my wife left
me a note to read – please
trim the trees at the front
of the property. That I did,
and the Cruiser 70 easily
accepted long branches and
a wealth of foliage.
Whereas Hilux from the
Toyota stable will serve
most recreational, farming
and business operators
well, the Cruiser 70 is there
for the buyer who needs
that extra ground clearance,
greater towing ability,
and the means to go just
that little bit deeper into
unknown off-road tracks.

& Property
Get smart with your money
to achieve your dream home
without compromising on
what’s really important.
Consider buying a large plot
of land with friends or family
which you can split into smaller
lots. Many great locations tend
to cover more ground, so get
the stunning harbour view you
dream of by sharing the cost
with someone you don’t mind
having as a neighbour.
Opting for low-maintenance
building materials, like vinyl
siding and metal roofing saves
in the long run. Although they
may be more expensive to
install you will save money on
future repairs, replacement or
repainting.
Using salvaged and recycled
materials and componentry
from the abundance of
demolition sites around the
city not only adds valuable
character to new builds, but
can save money, too.
For the safety and security
of your home, don’t skimp on
structural elements, doors and windows. Buy the
very best you can afford and, together with your
architect or builder, determine other areas you
could save on to allow for a few luxuries.
It’s important not to waste valuable cash on
overbuilding. Look carefully at the existing
properties in the area and be aware that building a
home that is bigger and better than those of your

BUILDING ON A BUDGET
Building your own home is one of the biggest investments of a lifetime and with
a few clever tips we show you how to make the most of what you can afford.
Deciding exactly
what you want
and then sticking with
it will ensure you stay
on budget, on time,
and all with
minimal stress.
LIFE IS MEANT TO
BE THIS EASY
Step inside this recently completed new

neighbours will not necessarily
equate to a fair price if and
when it’s time to sell. instead,
the value of your build will be
determined by the lower-priced
homes around it.
The experience of a wellqualified
contractor is an
invaluable asset in any building
project. Not only will you have
recourse should anything go
wrong, but their experience
in the industry means
they will have established
relationships with suppliers
and subcontractors, whom
they trust to deliver the best
workmanship possible.
Keep a close eye on
construction allowances as
your home is being built to
ensure you are getting what
you asked for and what you
paid for. if you had initially
agreed on using a specific
brand, for example, then don’t
settle for less, unless you
discuss a cost adjustment with
your builder or contractor.
Many a building project has snowballed out of
control in the financial department due to changes
being made to the design and materials once
building is already underway. Deciding exactly
what you want and then sticking with it will
ensure you stay on budget, within your expected
time frame, and all with minimal stress.
