Train victim<br />
amputee<br />
faces<br />
challenges<br />
Morgan Jones was left blind<br />
and an amputee after a horrific<br />
accident – but he is still taking<br />
on dance competitions and<br />
adventure challenges<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
MORGAN JONES was six, travelling by train<br />
through Kaikoura when he fell through a safety rail<br />
and onto the tracks below.<br />
He was left with horrific injuries – blind, with his<br />
right leg amputated and one side of his body partially<br />
paralysed.<br />
Tranz Rail was taken to<br />
court over the accident, but<br />
was cleared of criminal<br />
negligence. A settlement was<br />
reached with Mr Jones’ family<br />
outside court.<br />
Now 29, he has been able<br />
to do more than he thought<br />
was possible - including<br />
competing in a dance competition<br />
and taking on an<br />
adventure trip.<br />

Ministry<br />
rejected<br />
hospital<br />
car park<br />
building<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
A PLAN for a 700-space car park<br />
near Christchurch Hospital was<br />
rejected two years ago, because a<br />
Ministry of Health group decided<br />
there was “not expected demand<br />
for it.”<br />
But the Canterbury District<br />
Health Board and NZ Nurses Organisation<br />
disagreed at the time,<br />
saying car parks would be needed.<br />
It comes as parking problems<br />
around the hospital have reached<br />
crisis level, with patients missing<br />
appointments and at least two<br />
hospital staff assaulted this year<br />
while walking to their cars.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ministry of Health wrote to<br />
the CDHB in June, <strong>20</strong>15, saying<br />
it was taking over responsibility<br />
for earthquake rebuild projects,<br />
including “proposed car parking<br />
projects”.<br />
It said they would become the<br />
responsibility of the Governmentappointed<br />
Hospital Redevelopment<br />
Partnership Group, and<br />
contracts for the projects would<br />
be managed by the Ministry of<br />
Health.<br />
In December, <strong>20</strong>15, the HRPG<br />
commissioned Deloitte to carry<br />
out a review of car parking need<br />
around Christchurch Hospital.<br />
It looked at a range of options<br />
including building a 700-space car<br />
parking building, but rejected the<br />
idea because it said “there is not<br />
expected demand for it in the next<br />
five years and future demand and<br />
supply beyond that is uncertain.”<br />

MORGAN JONES was sixyears-old<br />
when he fell through<br />
a safety rail on a train to<br />
the tracks below. He lost his<br />
sight, a limb and was partially<br />
paralysed. He is now 29 and<br />
has won a dance competition,<br />
rock climbed and earned a<br />
University degree.<br />
But there is one challenge he<br />
cannot get past at the moment<br />
– getting a job. He is taking<br />
it in his stride, concentrating<br />
his efforts on other goals, but<br />
wouldn’t it be wonderful to see<br />
him employed. Hopefully, we<br />
will have a encouraging update<br />
soon.<br />
Hagley Park and cricket are<br />
two words that can bring up a<br />
lot of emotion. When reporter<br />
Bridget Rutherford started<br />
working on the article on page<br />

and those who could see<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw the first championship cycle meeting, at Hagley<br />
Park on <strong>April</strong> 17, 1880. On the same day in 1983 Dr Robert Runcie,<br />
the Archbishop of Canterbury, visited the city. On <strong>April</strong> 19, 1873, the<br />
Christchurch Golf Club was formed. <strong>The</strong> first course was in Hagley<br />
Park. <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong>, 1849, Captain Thomas (in a letter to Sir George Grey)<br />
reveals that he has chosen the present site of Christchurch for the new<br />
settlement – in spite of the fact that both the Nelson and Otago colonists<br />
had rejected it in 1841 and 1844 respectively. On <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong>, 1938, the first<br />
Inter-Dominion trotting event in New Zealand was held at Addington<br />
Raceway. Originally scheduled for Easter, the contest was postponed<br />
because of flooding throughout the city. Further flooding after the first<br />
races delayed the finals until May 4. On <strong>April</strong> 22, 1869, the Duke of Edinburgh<br />
visited. It was New Zealand’s first visit by a royal. On <strong>April</strong> 23,<br />
1895, the regular Lyttelton to Wellington ferry service started.<br />

TAKE CARE WITH TOADSTOOLS<br />
THere is a shroom boom in<br />
Christchurch as fungi flourish<br />
with the recent rain. A long period<br />
of drought followed by a wet<br />
autumn has sparked a spectacular<br />
showing of varied mushroom and<br />
other fungal species. City council<br />
botanist Trevor Partridge said the<br />
rain had created ideal growing<br />
conditions and toadstools and<br />
mushrooms were popping up in<br />
large numbers. He said a number<br />
were poisonous, so they should not<br />
be eaten.<br />

Fines for Hagley Oval breaches<br />

• By Shannon Gillies<br />
LYTTELTON ARTIST Mark<br />
Whyte has been comissioned to<br />
create a bronze statue of Richie<br />
McCaw, which will stand in<br />

Mr Whyte was selected by the<br />
Kurow Museum Committee to<br />
create their tribute to the former<br />
NOT OUT: Initially Hands off Hagley’s<br />
Martin Meehan tried to hit the Hagley<br />
Oval development out of the park,<br />
but now he is trying to stop more city<br />
council money going into it.<br />
CANTERBURY CRICKET has<br />
continued to breach its resource<br />
consent at Hagley Oval since it<br />
was controversially turned into<br />
an international cricket ground.<br />
Figures released to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
show Canterbury Cricket has<br />
been issued nine infringement<br />
notices since October <strong>20</strong>14, and<br />
charged $1800 in fines.<br />
Most of them were for failure<br />
to pack up equipment used for<br />
matches, such as portaloos,<br />
television scaffolding and<br />
perimeter fencing, within a day<br />
of the match. <strong>The</strong>re were two<br />
notices issued in <strong>20</strong>14, four in<br />
<strong>20</strong>15 – two of which no action<br />
was taken – and three last year.<br />
Since October <strong>20</strong>14, the city<br />
council had received 39 complaints,<br />
with the most recent on<br />
February 25.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y included difficulties<br />
with traffic management during<br />
matches, the late removal of<br />
equipment, and concerns the<br />
pavilion car parks were closed.<br />
Hands off Hagley spokesman<br />
Martin Meehan said the city<br />
council was spending about<br />
$1 million on upgrades for the<br />
cricket season.<br />
He could not understand why<br />
when the consent continued to<br />
be breached.<br />
<strong>The</strong> upgrades included<br />
$40,000 on sun shades, $125,000<br />
on aluminium temporary steps,<br />
a $105,000 service vehicle roadway<br />
to stop the ground from<br />
getting muddy, and embankment<br />
repairs of $<strong>20</strong>,000.<br />
Mr Meehan said a city council<br />
staff member told the group the<br />
removable sight screens cost<br />
$460,000.<br />
He said Canterbury and New<br />
Zealand Cricket should pay for<br />
upgrades.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> only people that benefit<br />
is cricket, and the rest of us pick<br />
up the cost,” he said.<br />
“It is done, you can’t lift it up<br />

<strong>The</strong> statue project was announced<br />

[Hagley Oval] and take it away.<br />
But the continuing spend is<br />
beyond a joke.”<br />
Canterbury Cricket chief executive<br />
Lee Germon said it paid<br />
up to $80,000 to lease the oval.<br />
“We certainly pay our way,<br />
it’s up to the council how they<br />
administer that.”<br />
Mr Germon said the number<br />
of breaches was reducing each<br />
year.<br />
Mr Whyte said the<br />
assignment was ‘’right up my<br />
alley’’.<br />
‘’People like Richie are the<br />
sort of role models that should<br />
have [statues]. Not only is he<br />
probably our most successful<br />

a hell of a nice guy as well. I’m<br />
Sometimes there were health<br />
and safety issues which slowed<br />
the packing away of equipment,<br />
such as poor weather, he<br />
said.<br />
This summer Hagley Oval<br />
would host a test and two one<br />
day internationals between the<br />
Black Caps and West Indies,<br />
and a test and one-dayer against<br />
England, as well as other community<br />

partially as a gallery and partially<br />
as a community space for people<br />

No charges after attack<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
NO CHARGES have been<br />
laid after a central city<br />
attack that left a woman<br />
in an induced coma with a<br />
crushed windpipe.<br />
On February 25, Amelia<br />
Rayner, 29, was punched<br />
in the throat when her and<br />
her boyfriend were leaving<br />
the Electric Avenue festival<br />
at Hagley Park about 11pm.<br />
While in hospital she<br />
had an operation to have<br />
a metal plate inserted<br />
into her throat to help her<br />
breathe.<br />
Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Mark Worner told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
police have not laid any<br />
charges yet in relation to<br />
the attack, but would not<br />
say why.<br />
“I cannot go into specifics<br />
of that case,” he said.<br />
Police have interviewed<br />
a man believed to have<br />
caused her injury.<br />
Ms Rayner’s father<br />
Gary Rayner said he would<br />
not comment on the outcome.<br />
He said he has engaged a<br />
lawyer.<br />
“It wasn’t going anywhere<br />
so we have got a lawyer<br />
to follow up just what is<br />
happening,” he said.<br />
Mr Rayner said Amelia<br />
was recovering well and<br />

Rayner, 29,<br />

in the throat<br />
when she<br />
and her<br />
boyfriend<br />
were leaving<br />
the Electric<br />
Avenue<br />
festival at<br />
Hagley Park.<br />
was soon thinking about<br />
returning to work.<br />
He said her voice is coming<br />
back but she is still “a<br />
bit jumpy”.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> physical stuff is the<br />
easy part, the mental part<br />
is difficult to move past,”<br />
he said.<br />
It is alleged Ms Rayner<br />
and her boyfriend were<br />
leaving the festival when<br />
they got into an altercation<br />
with four men.<br />
<strong>The</strong> men allegedly assaulted<br />
her boyfriend,<br />
and when she stepped in<br />
to help, was punched in<br />
the throat crushing her<br />

been left with its hands tied because<br />
responsibility for car park<br />
decisions had been taken away.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was considerable<br />
concern that Deloitte had significantly<br />
underestimated the future<br />

NZ Nurses Organisation organiser<br />
Lynley Mulrine said the<br />
need for more parking near the<br />
hospital had been raised regularly<br />
for at least a decade, but the Government<br />
was “not listening”.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> DHB is in a position<br />
where their employees are unsafe<br />
and our members are unsafe<br />
because the Ministry won’t recognise<br />
the problem, so if they’re<br />
not going to make decisions<br />

Vandals no match for Hatch<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
WHEN A cold, half-hatched<br />
swan egg was taken to the SPCA<br />
last week, there wasn’t much<br />
hope for its survival.<br />
But the cygnet named Hatch<br />
has defied the odds.<br />
He was found in a deserted<br />
nest at Westlake Reserve in<br />
Halswell after vandals terrorised<br />
his family. His parents and two<br />
siblings managed to escape, but<br />
Hatch was left behind until a<br />
passerby found him and rushed<br />
him into the SPCA.<br />
“Only Hatch’s beak was<br />
peeking out of the egg and [the<br />
person who found him] was very<br />
concerned,” SPCA Canterbury<br />
spokesperson Anna King said.<br />
“We did our best to keep the<br />
egg warm and took it in our animal<br />
ambulance to our friends at<br />
the Wildlife Hospital to hatch.”<br />
Once Hatch came out of his<br />
egg, staff at the South Island<br />
Wildlife Hospital tried to reunite<br />
him with his family – but the<br />
attempt was unsuccessful.<br />
Veterinarian Pauline Howard<br />
says Hatch was stomped when<br />
he tried to join his family, so he<br />
would have to be hand-raised<br />
before it was decided what to do<br />
with him.<br />
PEEKABOO: With just his<br />
beak poking out of an egg,<br />
Hatch was taken to the SPCA<br />
where he was given little<br />
chance of survival.<br />
“Ideally, we would release him,<br />
but there is a female swan at<br />
Willowbank and he could go in<br />
as a mate for her,” she said.<br />
Ms Howard said Hatch would<br />
be moved around different foster<br />
homes so he didn’t get too used<br />
to being in one place.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> big thing is we don’t want<br />
him to bond too much with people,<br />
because then he thinks he’s a<br />
person rather than a swan.<br />
“We do things like have<br />
FLUFFY: Now a fluffy little bundle, Hatch is looking for a<br />
caregiver.<br />
mirrors around so he can see<br />
himself, and have fluffy toys to<br />
cuddle into.”<br />
Hatch also had to be taught<br />
how to eat, as usually that was<br />
the job of the parents to teach<br />
their cygnets – but his first foster<br />
carer did a “great job” of teaching<br />
him to feed himself.<br />
Hatch would spend the next<br />
few months in foster homes until<br />
the South Island Wildlife Hospital<br />
found a permanent place for<br />
him to live.<br />

He took home a trophy from<br />
the NZ World Latin Dance<br />
Cup competition last month –<br />
although he won by default as the<br />
only dancer in the category.<br />
He also went to the Give It A<br />
Go! youth amputee camp in New<br />
Plymouth this month, where he<br />
conquered rock climbing, abseiling<br />
and a giant rope course.<br />
“I tell people I’m not scared<br />
of heights, I’m just scared of the<br />
dark,” he said.<br />
But Mr Jones has struggled to<br />
get a job.<br />
He used technology like a<br />
“talking computer” to complete a<br />
Bachelor of Science at Canterbury<br />
University in <strong>20</strong>13, hoping to work<br />
in conservation.<br />
“I always loved and wanted to<br />
protect the environment,” he said.<br />
But in spite of several placements,<br />
he could not get work.<br />
He then completed a medical<br />
terminology paper – but once he<br />
finished the course, he said no<br />
companies would hire him.<br />
“I’d be happy to do anything,<br />
but even supermarket jobs I can’t<br />
do,” he said.<br />
Instead he is concentrating<br />
on his dancing, and creating a<br />
sanctuary for native birds in his<br />
backyard.<br />

HISTORIC: <strong>The</strong> Nurse<br />
Maude building in<br />
Merivale received a<br />
$345,000 heritage<br />
incentive grant<br />
for restoration.<br />
DETERIORATED: <strong>The</strong> old<br />
Public Trust building has<br />
been saved from demolition<br />
after a $1.9 million landmark<br />
heritage grant.<br />
Heritage grants –<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
MORE THAN $19 million of<br />
ratepayer money has been spent<br />
on restoring heritage buildings<br />
following the February <strong>20</strong>11<br />
earthquake – and advocates say<br />
it’s money well spent.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council sets aside<br />
$763,000 every year to use for<br />
heritage incentive grants. It also<br />
gives out central city landmark<br />
heritage grants for larger projects.<br />
Figures<br />
released to <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong> show the<br />
city council has<br />
given $5,725,557<br />
from its heritage<br />
Anna<br />
Crighton<br />
incentive grant<br />
fund over the<br />
last six years.<br />
On top of that, it gave<br />
$10,942,500 in landmark<br />
heritage grants, and $2,650,000<br />
to restoring the Arts Centre<br />
buildings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> money is used to restore<br />
and repair buildings with<br />
heritage status, listed under the<br />
district plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are subject to a covenant<br />
being put on the property so<br />
it protects the building for the<br />
future.<br />
DAMAGED: McLean’s Mansion got a $1.9million central city<br />
landmark heritage grant so it can be turned it into an art gallery.<br />
Owners can apply for up to<br />
50 per cent of the cost of eligible<br />
work and it could include the fees<br />
of registered architects, engineers<br />
and quantity surveyors.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are paid after the work<br />
has been finished.<br />
Some of the buildings that<br />
got heritage incentive grants<br />
included the Nurse Maude Clinic<br />
in Merivale, which got $345,000,<br />
New Regent St buildings and a<br />
number of residential homes.<br />
Addington’s Woods Mill buildings<br />
have been given two grants,<br />
but the first one of $884,750 went<br />
back into the fund because it was<br />
not used.<br />
A new developer has received<br />
$900,000 to turn the buildings<br />
into a commercial and retail<br />
complex.<br />

POPPY<br />
FUNERALS<br />
Refreshingly different...<br />
A fresh new face to funerals has stepped on the scene in the form of Poppy Funerals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family owned and operated business has a refreshingly different approach to<br />
funerals. In the past, the only options available to families were those instructed by the<br />
funeral directors. This is not how Poppy Funerals feels funeral arrangements should be.<br />
“Families are best placed to know the right way to farewell their loved one. It’s not our<br />
place to tell them how they should grieve. When a family calls us to arrange funerals for<br />
their special person, we do what they want. If they want a traditional mournful funeral<br />
we will do that. But if they want a BBQ in the park, or a party to say good bye – we will<br />
do that too. Funerals have changed over the years, and it’s about time we as funeral<br />
directors changed with the times too. Our staff try to be bright and cheerful. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
enough sadness around when a person passes. We want to have the celebration of their<br />
life shine through the sadness.”<br />
It is Funeral Directors Jazz and Steve’s intention to change the world we live in,<br />
one funeral at a time. “We are a normal down to earth family, and I know when my<br />
time comes I want a down to earth sort of person there to help my family through.”<br />
Poppy Funerals are focused on family’s needs, offering services from Direct Cremation<br />
to full Celebration of Life burials or cremations, as well as a DIY option where by<br />
Poppy Funerals will do as much or as little as you want. Not being owned by<br />
multi-national or large corporations they have the flexibility to actually meet your needs.<br />

‘money well spent’<br />
Central city landmark heritage<br />
grants have included buildings<br />
such as McLean’s<br />
Mansion, which<br />
received $1.9 million,<br />
$1.7 million<br />
for Christchurch<br />
Club, and the former<br />
Public Trust<br />
Yani<br />
Johanson<br />
building owners<br />
got $1.9 million<br />
last month to<br />
save the building.<br />
Christchurch Heritage Trust<br />
chairwoman Anna Crighton said<br />
every dollar spent on heritage<br />
protection was “a dollar well<br />
spent”.<br />
She said there were strict rules<br />
on what building’s qualified for<br />
grants.<br />
“Otherwise it’s just ratepayer<br />
money just being thrown away.”<br />
She said there were many projects<br />
that needed money following<br />
the February <strong>20</strong>11 earthquake, but<br />
for her, heritage buildings were a<br />
priority.<br />
“Once you’ve lost it, it’s gone<br />
forever.”<br />
City councillor Yani Johanson<br />
said following the earthquakes,<br />
the heritage incentive grant<br />
scheme became more<br />
important.<br />
“Heritage became absolutely<br />
critical post-quake.”<br />
City councillor Jamie Gough<br />
said restoring heritage buildings<br />
was difficult because it was time<br />
consuming and costly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scheme made it a bit easier<br />
for owners to preserve the buildings,<br />
and it showed the city valued<br />
its historic fabric, he said.<br />
BEAUTIFUL: Christchurch Club<br />

buildings (above) have received<br />
two different heritage incentive<br />
grants, but the first went back<br />
into the pool because the plan<br />
was dropped.<br />
MODEST: Heritage homes, such as this one on Montreal St,<br />
also qualify for heritage incentive grants.<br />

Wesley Mauafu<br />
Passion for helping Pasifika community<br />
Wesley Mauafu is<br />
passionate about helping<br />
Pasifika young people,<br />
whether it’s fighting high<br />
suicide rates or inspiring<br />
them to have a voice in<br />
politics. Last week he was<br />
invited to Parliament to<br />
receive a New Zealand<br />
Youth Award for his work.<br />
He spoke to Gabrielle<br />
Stuart<br />
Why is the issue of suicide so<br />
important to you personally?<br />
It started four years ago, when<br />
I did my first suicide prevention<br />
training. I went as a fresh-faced<br />
young guy, and to be honest, I<br />
was so oblivious to the horrific<br />
statistics of my own Pasifika<br />
young people. <strong>The</strong>y have so<br />
much potential and so much<br />
to give to the community as a<br />
whole, so when I found out we<br />
were perishing and struggling<br />
with our well-being it hit home<br />
a lot. From that day, every time<br />
I have seen a programme or<br />
initiative aimed at well-being, I<br />
am always keen to put my hand<br />
up and say yes, let’s do this. Our<br />
group, PYLET, is the council for<br />
Pacific Youth Leadership and<br />
Transformation. Through this,<br />
we are seriously saving Pasifika<br />
young people’s lives. That’s the<br />
motivation for me.<br />
Do you approach things differently<br />
when you’re working<br />
specifically with Pasifika youth?<br />
I definitely think we do. It’s<br />
little things like understanding<br />
our values. We’re brought up in<br />
our family environment with<br />
LEADER:<br />
Wesley<br />
Mauafu<br />
chaired<br />
the first<br />
meeting<br />
of PULSE<br />
– Pasifika<br />
United<br />
to Lead<br />
Suicide<br />
Prevention<br />
Education –<br />
last year.<br />
fa’aaloalo, which is the Samoan<br />
word for respect, and tautua,<br />
which means service. So service<br />
comes into the community<br />
work that we do, and respect<br />
means respecting our elders.<br />
Understanding our cultural<br />
values helps us work better with<br />
Pasifika youth.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pasifika community in<br />
Christchurch is quite tight-knit,<br />
right? Is that a strength, when<br />
you’re fighting something like<br />
suicide?<br />
Well, we originally held three<br />
suicide prevention workshops<br />
and something we found was,<br />
yes, we do have a very strong<br />
community, but within Pacific<br />
cultures there are also a lot of<br />
stigmas we had to try to get rid<br />
of before we could talk about the<br />
actual issues. <strong>The</strong>y were things<br />
like we should sweep it under the<br />
rug, because if we talk to young<br />
people about suicide it might<br />
plant the seed of suicide in their<br />
mind. We also have to bring<br />
down the stigma that you should<br />
feel ashamed if someone in your<br />
family has taken their own life.<br />
We need to communicate with<br />
our young people and our elders<br />
that it’s okay to talk about it and<br />
there is no shame in it, because<br />
we are all going through hard<br />
times. <strong>The</strong> next question is, how<br />
do you talk to people about it?<br />
That’s what we’re trying now<br />
to impart to our Pasifika community.<br />

and battling suicide earns youth award<br />
That must be particularly important<br />
since the earthquakes?<br />
Definitely. We’re over-represented<br />
when it comes to things<br />
like mental health problems and<br />
depression. A lot of our Pasifika<br />
young people and community<br />
live on the east side, and a lot of<br />
us in the red zone felt we were<br />
treated unfairly – not myself personally,<br />
but it’s something I hear<br />
a lot. It took a long time for the<br />
Canterbury rebuild to make its<br />
way to the east side, for our roads<br />
to be fixed, for our houses to be<br />
fixed. <strong>The</strong> feeling was, does our<br />
city really care about us, when<br />
it looked like the more well-off<br />
on the other side of the city were<br />
being taken care of first.<br />
So what was the experience at<br />
Parliament like?<br />
It was fantastic. We met with<br />
National MP Nuk Korako and<br />
went to the gallery in Parliament<br />
to watch David Cunliffe’s valedictory<br />
speech, which was awesome.<br />
It was actually my second time<br />
going to Parliament, but the first<br />
time going with my mum and my<br />
sister, which was fantastic to do.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best thing was that child-like<br />
feeling, when I looked at my<br />
mum and thought, yes, my mum<br />
thinks I’m cool. In terms of the<br />
community work I do, I guess my<br />
friends and family know what I<br />
do, but I don’t really talk in depth<br />
about it. For my family, the only<br />
time they really hear what I do is<br />
when I get an award, so it’s pretty<br />
special. And I’m a ‘mumma’s<br />
boy’, so I just think if my mum<br />
thinks I’m cool, I’m doing something<br />
right in my life.<br />
If it was your second time at<br />
Parliament, when was the first?<br />
I was part of a group presenting<br />
to the Standing Orders Select<br />
Committee, which sets the rules<br />
that dictate how Parliament runs.<br />
We went there saying if you want<br />
more young people to vote and<br />
be involved in democracy, you<br />
need to make changes. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
things like better utilisation of<br />
Parliament TV and being able<br />
to use your cellphones in Parliament.<br />
And tell me a bit about your<br />
life and interests outside of this<br />
work?<br />
To be honest, this takes a lot of<br />
my life, and I really enjoy doing<br />

this. But I do have other interests.<br />
I play rugby for the Sumner<br />
division 1 team. I’ve always loved<br />
rugby. And I’m an engineering<br />
student at Canterbury University,<br />
currently second year in the civil<br />
engineering department. Hopefully,<br />
I should be done next year.<br />
So you’re planning a career as<br />
an engineer?<br />
I still haven’t fully figured out<br />
what kind of engineering I want<br />
to do, but long term, yes, I want<br />
to be a civil engineer. Short term,<br />
I would love to travel, maybe<br />
use the fact I can play rugby to<br />
see the world, if I could play for<br />
a European team somewhere.<br />
I’d like to widen my experience<br />
and then bring that back home.<br />
But short and long term, I want<br />
to keep working for my Pasifika<br />
young people, in whatever capacity<br />
I’m in.<br />
And for the average person on<br />
the street, is there anything we<br />
can do day-to-day to help fight<br />
suicide and mental illness?<br />
It seems like such an airy-fairy<br />
answer, but just a smile and a<br />
bit of kindness goes a long way.<br />
Having the courage to step out<br />
in faith and ask someone if they<br />
are okay, even if you don’t know<br />
them, whether it’s an outlier in<br />
a crowd, or if it’s a friend who<br />
seems to be acting a tiny bit different.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are signs, invitations<br />
we call them, to go and talk to<br />
them. Ask them, are you okay?<br />
But at the same time, don’t expect<br />
to be the answer and save their<br />
life, just be there to listen and to<br />
guide them to an actual professional<br />
or counsellor. Don’t feel<br />
the burden, because if something<br />
does go wrong it’s not your fault.<br />
Whatever you can give to a person,<br />
your time or your presence,<br />
is enough.<br />

Free weekend car parks<br />
in central city mooted<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
FREE CAR parking in<br />
the weekends is being<br />
investigated in a bid to<br />
bring more people back<br />
into the central city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is looking<br />
into whether free car<br />
parking could be offered<br />
on the weekends in the<br />
central city as an enticement.<br />
City council transport<br />
operations manager Aaron<br />
Haymes said it was considering<br />
temporary free parking,<br />
but it had not made a<br />
final decision.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> car parks would be<br />
council controlled parks<br />
but the locations are still<br />
under consideration.”<br />
He said it would make<br />
a decision within the next<br />
Aaron Haymes<br />
few weeks after consultation<br />
with businesses and<br />
other parking stakeholders.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re had been substantial<br />
private investment in<br />
car parking buildings, so<br />
it was important not to<br />
undermine that, he said.<br />
City councillor Deon<br />
Swiggs asked staff to<br />
look into it.<br />
“It’s about getting people<br />
back to the central city to<br />
try it out. If they have a<br />
good experience, they will<br />
come back again.”<br />
Central City Business<br />
Association chairman<br />
Brendan Chase said the<br />
idea came up at a summit<br />
the association held and<br />
it would be good for business.<br />
He said another idea was<br />
if someone bought something<br />
at a shop or cafe, they<br />
could be reimbursed for<br />
their car parking fee, or<br />
could get a free ride home<br />
on public transport.<br />
More people were returning<br />
to the central city,<br />
and it was only going to<br />
improve, he said.<br />
Students study life on Mars<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
WHEN THE time comes<br />
to pack our bags and head<br />
for Mars, Christchurch<br />
youths will be wellprepared.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ara Institute of Canterbury<br />
is hosting a series<br />
of workshops to teach high<br />
school students how to get<br />
to Mars, and how to survive<br />
when they’re there.<br />
And though it may raise<br />
a few eyebrows, living on<br />
Mars is not that far off<br />
according to National<br />
Aeronautics and Space<br />
Administration.<br />
NASA predicts a crew,<br />
called Daedalus, will<br />
make the nine-month trip<br />
to Mars in the <strong>20</strong>30s to<br />
establish shelter, food and<br />
water sources for future<br />
newcomers.<br />
So in New Zealand’s July<br />
holidays, Ara will be teaching<br />
high school students all<br />
the necessary knowledge<br />
on how to be a good Mars<br />
resident.<br />
At 96 per cent carbon<br />
dioxide and just one per<br />
cent oxygen, the air on<br />
Mars is unbreathable, so<br />
the Daedalus crew will use<br />
electrolosis to convert carbon<br />
dioxide into oxygen.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will also establish a<br />
hospitable shelter to protect<br />
humans from the temperature<br />
extremes Mars<br />
displays, along with hydroponic<br />
farming and other<br />
methods to grow food.

Parasites could cure<br />
gluten allergies<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
ABOUT <strong>20</strong> brave<br />
Cantabrians have<br />
volunteered to be infected<br />
with hookworm parasites<br />
– in an effort to find a cure<br />
for coeliac disease.<br />
An<br />
Australian<br />
pilot study<br />
discovered<br />
people with<br />
severe gluten<br />
allergies<br />
Richard<br />
Gearry<br />
who were<br />
also infected<br />
with<br />
hookworms<br />
did not have reactions<br />
when they ate gluten.<br />
A group of Christchurch<br />
researchers have just received<br />
a $<strong>20</strong>,000 from the<br />
Lottery Grants Board to<br />
start a similar trial.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y hope to find out exactly<br />
how the hookworms<br />
prevent the allergic reactions,<br />
so they can turn that<br />
substance into a pill.<br />
Otago University<br />
gastroenterology professor<br />
Richard Gearry said<br />
extreme cases of coeliac<br />
disease could have a major<br />
impact on people’s quality<br />
of life, and he was hopeful<br />
the trial could help find a<br />
cure.<br />
But even if a cure was<br />
discovered, he said it<br />
would take a long time to<br />
reach shelves.<br />
“We are talking years,<br />
because the pipeline for<br />
a new drug is at least 10<br />
years,” he said.<br />
Severe hookworm infections<br />
can cause problems<br />
like iron deficiencies, but<br />
he said there were very few<br />
risks when the infection<br />
STUDY:<br />
Researchers<br />
hope to<br />
find out how<br />
hookworms<br />
prevent<br />
allergic<br />
reactions.<br />
was controlled.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new grant, which<br />
was organised through<br />
the Bowel and Liver Trust,<br />
will allow them to do more<br />
specific research on the<br />
microbes in the samples,<br />
which could lead to other<br />
angles on the work.<br />
He said about 70 Cantabrians<br />
had gone to an<br />
information evening last<br />
month, and about <strong>20</strong> had<br />
joined the trial.<br />
Spaces are still available<br />
in the trial programme.<br />

War brewing over memorial relocation<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A MEMORIAL commemorating<br />
Cantabrians who died in World<br />
War 1 is embroiled in the Christ<br />
Church Cathedral saga – and the<br />
central city RSA has had enough.<br />
Christchurch Memorial RSA<br />
is about to begin discussions<br />
with the city council to have the<br />
cenotaph moved to Cranmer<br />
Square before it deteriorates any<br />
further.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Citizens’ War<br />
Memorial currently sits on<br />
Anglican Diocese land next<br />
to the Cathedral, but it is the<br />
responsibility of the city council.<br />
It has been fenced off since the<br />
February 22, <strong>20</strong>11, earthquake.<br />
RSA president Pete Dawson<br />
said they wanted it moved<br />
in time for Armistice Day<br />
commemorations next year –<br />
which will mark a century since<br />
World War 1 ended.<br />
“If we rely on the Government<br />
and the church to get action<br />
here, we’ll be waiting forever,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We’re going to be engaging<br />
with the council shortly.”<br />
He said Cathedral Square was<br />
not suitable to hold the Anzac<br />
Day dawn service anymore<br />
URGENT: Paul O’Connor is spearheading a project to have the Citizens’ War Memorial moved to<br />
Cranmer Square.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
because it was too small.<br />
Cranmer Square, where the<br />
commemorations are now held,<br />
had significance because it was a<br />
military camp during the Great<br />
War.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diocese is allowed to<br />
request the cenotaph be moved,<br />
but it would need to get resource<br />
consent.<br />
A Church Property Trust<br />
spokesman said it would respect<br />
any decision agreed by the city<br />
council and other stakeholders<br />
about the cenotaph’s future.<br />
Paul O’Connor, who is helping<br />
with the moving project, said the<br />
cenotaph was “in the shadow of<br />
that shambles of a Cathedral.”<br />
“It’s the wider Canterbury<br />
memorial to all of those who lost<br />
their lives and we’re treating it<br />
poorly.”<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge said there was<br />
no budget to move the cenotaph,<br />
and it had no plans to do so at<br />
this stage.<br />

Trail will be an asset<br />
CANTABRIANS will soon be<br />
able to enjoy a riverside trail<br />
running along the banks of<br />
the Avon River through the<br />
residential red zone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 12km transitional Avon<br />
Trail will open in stages from<br />
spring and will allow Cantabrians<br />
and city visitors to walk, run or<br />
cycle from Barbadoes St in the<br />
central city to Pages Rd in New<br />
Brighton.<br />
<strong>The</strong> whole trail will be completed<br />
and open by early next year.<br />
Construction of the first section<br />
of Avon Trail will start this<br />
month from Retreat Rd/Avonside<br />
Dr through to the Gayhurst Rd<br />
Bridge.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trail will be prepared at<br />
the same time as the upgrade of<br />
the temporary stop banks. By<br />
smoothing the top of the stop<br />
banks and adding a fine gravel<br />
surface, the trail will be suitable<br />
for a wide range of uses.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Avon-Otakoro Network is<br />
leading the project, and community<br />
volunteers will help prepare<br />
some sections of the trail. Regenerate<br />
Christchurch has been helping<br />
co-ordinate the work, and<br />
funding has been provided by the<br />
Ministry of Social Development<br />
to the Avon-Otakoro Network.<br />
Gerry Brownlee<br />
Now that the former red zone<br />
has mostly been cleared and<br />
grassed, we can see the potential<br />
of the river corridor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Avon Trail is an opportunity<br />
for the public to explore this<br />
area, and I encourage everyone<br />
to do so.<br />
It is an exciting asset for Christchurch,<br />
and an innovative way to<br />
get Cantabrians moving from the<br />
city to the sea.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trail is great news for our<br />
city, and will help to promote the<br />
regeneration of New Brighton. It<br />
will allow everyone easy access to<br />
the lower Avon and surrounding<br />
red zone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> transitional trail will remain<br />
in use for at least two years,<br />
as the larger regeneration operation<br />
unfolds around it. Further<br />
opportunities for a permanent<br />
connection from the city to the<br />
sea will be explored later.<br />
This is an important area of<br />
regeneration, and will impact<br />
Christchurch’s future. It is the<br />
first step in creating a peoplefriendly,<br />
green space in our city.<br />
•Gerry Brownlee is<br />
Minister supporting Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
•Megan Woods, p23<br />
Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
reported the city council<br />
was looking at setting up<br />
an online hub that had<br />
information for residents<br />
and visitors about<br />
Christchurch as part of the<br />
Smart Cities programme.<br />
Peter Parr, of Southbridge –<br />
At last I’ve come to understand<br />
that the city council believes,<br />
and rightly so, that the public is<br />
stupid, ignorant, unobservant<br />
and gullible.<br />
We’re to get new technologies<br />
with an online hub where we can<br />
get all the information we need<br />
about Christchurch (<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
<strong>April</strong> 13). It’s all in the wording,<br />
‘info we need’ not what we may<br />
actually want – like what the city<br />
council is planning, actually doing<br />
or spends our rates on.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council wrote to me “red<br />
arrow protections is required<br />
when either pedestrians or cyclists<br />
are using the crossing.” Sounds<br />
straight forward but ‘are using’<br />
is not true. In reality the aforementioned<br />
phantom crossers get<br />
an auto green at the expense of<br />
real vehicles waiting to turn. No<br />
wonder we have traffic problems<br />
and frustrated drivers.<br />
I asked the council if the new<br />
Riccarton Rd/Ave light set-up<br />
would be used as a template for<br />
the rest of Christchurch. <strong>The</strong><br />
answer was no, that was true<br />
because the city was/is already<br />
being set-up with red-lighting<br />
actual traffic so non-existent<br />
cyclists can have an auto green<br />
light.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council man claimed a<br />
‘max of 66 vehicles an hour’ turn<br />
right, (east) off Deans to Riccarton<br />
Ave but said they don’t<br />
know how many bikes go north/<br />
south. Interesting that another<br />
newspaper quoted the city council<br />
as claiming 1300 cyclists use<br />
the Hagley Park route each week<br />
day, maybe the new ‘online hub’<br />
will know the real figure.<br />
Will our ‘new hub’ have how<br />
much the city council has spent<br />
on cycle lanes over the last few<br />
years and how much is budgeted<br />
in the next several, will they be<br />
toll-ways to recoup the cost?<br />
Will the new hub have the<br />
number of cars, adult cyclists,<br />
electric vehicles use the likes of<br />
Colombo St, Papanui Rd, Riccarton<br />
Rd and St Asaph Sts?<br />
So many questions but we’ll<br />
have to wait on the answers.<br />

Hard fight for fair wage<br />
TAKE A bow, Kristine<br />
Bartlett.<br />
Your courage, perseverance<br />
and determination to<br />
fight for a fair wage have<br />
made a huge difference to<br />
lives of thousands of workers.<br />
But, as you are the first<br />
to remind everyone, you<br />
did not do this as a lone<br />
individual.<br />
It was your workmates<br />
through your union which<br />
banded together with<br />
you to take a stand that<br />
is life-changing for the<br />
55,000 mainly women care<br />
workers it affects. You are<br />
modern day heroes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> road to this settlement<br />
has not been easy. It<br />
started back in <strong>20</strong>12 when<br />
Kristine, an aged-care<br />
worker from Upper Hutt<br />
fronted union legal action<br />
against her employer TerraNova.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pay equity claim<br />
brought by E Tū (previously<br />
the Service and Food<br />
Workers Union) argued<br />
that her employer was<br />
under-paying staff because<br />
of the high percentage of<br />
female employees.<br />
It is the first legal<br />
settlement in New Zealand<br />
which recognises that<br />
some jobs pay less because<br />
they are done mainly by<br />
women.<br />
This claim was fought<br />
in the courts by powerful<br />
interests. <strong>The</strong> Government<br />
itself had lawyers at each<br />
appeal stage of the original<br />
case opposing lower court<br />
decisions.<br />
Throughout the five<br />
years, Kristine and her<br />
union have told the<br />
story of a group of mainly<br />
women who dreaded getting<br />
sick because they can’t<br />
afford to go to the doctor,<br />
who come to work without<br />
food, who walk to work in<br />
the rain because they don’t<br />
have the bus fare.<br />
All the while we were<br />
expecting these women to<br />
do incredibly important<br />
work caring for some of<br />
the most vulnerable in our<br />
society. This simply was<br />
not fair.<br />
So, this week we have<br />
seen a victory for what<br />
is right and the power of<br />
banding together to stand<br />
up for those rights. For the<br />
<strong>20</strong>,000 workers currently<br />
on the minimum wage of<br />
$15.75 per hour, on July 1<br />
they will move to at least<br />
$19 per hour.<br />
For a full-time worker,<br />
this means they will be<br />
taking home around an<br />
extra $100 a week, which<br />
is over $5000 a year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Essential Guide to China’s<br />
“Two Sessions”<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual political sessions in China have drawn worldwide<br />
attention as the fifth sessions of the 12th National People’s Congress<br />
(NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference<br />
(CPPCC), known as the “two sessions”(Lianghui), concluded in<br />
March. However, the “two sessions”, and what they entail, are not fully<br />
understood by many Chinese and overseas observers.<br />
“TWO SESSIONS” IN CHINA’S POLITICAL CALENDAR<br />
<strong>The</strong> term “two<br />
sessions” refers to the<br />
plenary sessions of<br />
the National People’s<br />
Congress (NPC)<br />
and the National<br />
Committee of the<br />
Chinese People’s<br />
Political Consultative<br />
Conference (CPPCC).<br />
<strong>The</strong> two are held in<br />
early March every<br />
year. Those formal<br />
but wordy titles are difficult to remember, even for Chinese speakers,<br />
therefore, the Chinese moniker “two sessions” (lianghui) was coined.<br />
More than 5000 NPC deputies and members of CPPCC National<br />
Committee attend the sessions. Among them, are top leaders,<br />
renowned economists, entrepreneurs, artists and sportsmen and<br />
representatives from all walks of life. NPC deputies can submit<br />
motions, which are legally binding once adopted, while members of<br />
the CPPCC National Committee can only put forward no-binding<br />
proposals. During the sessions, the central government will reveal<br />
its annual work report, which includes the official gross domestic<br />
product (GDP) forecast as well as information on other major<br />
policies.<br />
NPC AS THE SuPREmE ORgAN Of STATE POWER<br />
According to the Constitution, the NPC is the fundamental political<br />
system in China, with about 2.6 million deputies at various levels.<br />
At the pinnacle of the system sits the NPC which exercises more<br />
than a dozen functions and powers, including the supervision of<br />
the enforcement of the constitution. <strong>The</strong> central government, the<br />
Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate<br />
answer to the NPC and are supervised by it. <strong>The</strong> NPC Standing<br />
Committee, a permanent body of the NPC has been active in<br />
inspecting whether governments comply with the law. In <strong>20</strong>16, it<br />
conducted six inspections, covering about 30 provinces, autonomous<br />
regions and municipalities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NPC representatives include people from various backgrounds<br />
and cover a good cross-section of society. Direct election applies<br />
in the selection of township and county-level deputies, while the<br />
deputies at the prefecture, provincial and national levels are elected<br />
by lower level deputies.<br />
NPC deputies at various levels are key channels for community<br />
voices, reflecting local opinions and problems and enabling people<br />
to be masters of the nation. Deputies are both entitled and obliged to<br />
stand for the people’s interests and express their requests.<br />
NPC deputies are not divided into different caucuses according to<br />
party background but into 35 delegations based on where they are<br />
elected from, including 31 provinces, autonomous regions and<br />
municipalities, in addition to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the<br />
military. Such an arrangement is pragmatic, given China’s large<br />
territory and huge population, and ensures that NPC deputies are<br />
true representatives of the people.<br />
Though they are part-time, NPC deputies are actively engaged in state<br />
affairs. At the annual full session, they review and vote on important<br />
legal documents and personnel changes, including electing president<br />
and vice president of China every five years, as well as submit<br />
motions and proposals. Since <strong>20</strong>05, around 500 motions have been<br />
submitted by deputies to every annual session of the NPC. When not<br />
in session, they interact with the people, take up training programs,<br />
and participate in inspections of law enforcement and surveys on<br />
important or urgent issues.<br />
OuTCOmE Of NPC ANNuAL SESSION<br />
This year, among 2,838 NPC deputies present at the closing meeting<br />
of NPC annual session, 2,812 voted in favor of the government work<br />
report; 2,793 for the work report of the NPC Standing Committee;<br />
2,606 for the work report of the Supreme People’s Court; and 2,606<br />
for the work report of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.<br />
Lawmakers also approved the General Provisions of the Civil Law, the<br />
decision on the quota and election of deputies to the next 13th NPC<br />
to be convened from <strong>20</strong>18, and the methods for electing deputies to<br />
the 13th NPC from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative<br />
regions. Other documents approved by the lawmakers included the<br />
<strong>20</strong>17 national economic and social development plan, and the <strong>20</strong>17<br />
central and local budgets.<br />
CPPCC AS TOP POLITICAL ADvISORy bODy<br />
<strong>The</strong> CPPCC is an important platform on which various political<br />
parties, people’s organizations, and people of all ethnic groups and<br />
from all sectors of society work together democratically participating<br />
in state affairs. As China’s top political advisory body, CPPCC<br />
facilitates China’s multiparty cooperation and political consultation<br />
mechanism.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main functions of the CPPCC are to conduct political<br />
consultation, exercise democratic supervision and participate in the<br />
discussion and the handling of state affairs. Political consultation<br />
covers major principles and policies proposed by the central and<br />
local governments and matters of importance concerning political,<br />
economic, cultural and social affairs. Democratic supervision means<br />
offering suggestion and criticism, as well as supervision over the<br />
implementation of the Constitution, other laws, regulations and<br />
major policies, and over the work of government agencies and their<br />
functionaries.<br />
CPPCC members come from China’s various walks of life and ethnic<br />
groups. Most of the CPPCC members are experienced political<br />
figures, social celebrities, and experts and scholars specializing in<br />
various fields.<br />
SETTINg ACHIEvAbLE gROWTH TARgET<br />
One of the most important agendas of “two sessions” is revealing the<br />
government work report. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in delivering<br />
government work report pledged to continue reforms to attain<br />
the economic growth target of about 6.5 percent this year despite<br />
challenges ahead. <strong>The</strong> realistic growth target this year will help steer<br />
and steady expectations and make structural adjustments as well as<br />
help achieve the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in<br />
all respects by <strong>20</strong><strong>20</strong>.<br />
Last year, China’s GDP reached<br />
74.4 trillion yuan (10.8 trillion<br />
U.S. dollars), a 6.7-percent<br />
growth, outpacing most other<br />
economies and contributing<br />
more than 30 percent of global<br />
growth. Despite challenges,<br />
China created 13.14 million<br />
urban jobs and increased per<br />
capita disposable income by<br />
6.3 percent. About 12.4 million<br />
people shook off poverty.<br />
Premier Li announced that in <strong>20</strong>17, China will keep its CPI increase<br />
at around 3 percent, and create more than 11 million urban jobs<br />
with a registered urban unemployment rate within 4.5 percent. <strong>The</strong><br />
country will also reduce its energy consumption per unit of GDP by<br />
at least 3.4 percent. Noting that China must be ready to face more<br />
complicated and graver situations including sluggish world economic<br />
growth and growing trend of protectionism, Li expressed his<br />
confidence that difficulties will be overcome as the country has a solid<br />
material foundation, abundant human resources, a huge market, and<br />
a complete system of industries.<br />
This advertorial page is supported by <strong>The</strong> Chinese Consulate<br />
ACCELERATINg SuPPLy-SIDE STRuCTuRAL REfORm<br />
According to the government work report, efforts of supplyside<br />
structural reform will center on a variety of areas, including<br />
streamlining administration, reducing taxes, further expanding<br />
market access, and reducing ineffective supply while expanding<br />
effective supply. To be specific, China will further reduce steel<br />
production capacity by around 50 million metric tons and coal<br />
capacity by at least 150 million metric tons this year. It also highlighted<br />
cutting excess urban real estate inventory, bringing down the leverage<br />
of enterprises, reducing costs for enterprises and strengthening areas<br />
of weakness including poverty eradication.<br />
fuRTHER OPENINg-uP<br />
Leaning against the anti-globalization headwinds, the Chinese<br />
government emphasized the need to further open up the economy<br />
and attract foreign investment. While joining a panel discussion<br />
during the “two sessions”, President Xi Jinping vowed the country<br />
would keep on opening up on all fronts. Premier Li Keqiang also<br />
detailed unprecedented opening-up measures to the outside world in<br />
the government work report.<br />
According to the report, significant improvements will be made<br />
in the environment for foreign investment. Service industries,<br />
manufacturing and mining will be more open to foreign investment.<br />
Foreign firms will be able to get listed on China’s stock markets and<br />
issue bonds. <strong>The</strong>y will also be allowed to participate in national science<br />
and technology projects. Foreign firms will be treated the same as<br />
domestic firms in<br />
license applications,<br />
standards setting,<br />
and government<br />
procurement, and<br />
will enjoy the same<br />
preferential policies<br />
under the Made in<br />
China <strong>20</strong>25 initiative,<br />
a plan to modernize<br />
the manufacturing<br />
sector.<br />
Moreover, China will open its door wider and import more products<br />
and technologies from overseas. And China will extend the practice<br />
of processing international trade through a single window, which<br />
enables cross-border traders to submit regulatory documents at a<br />
single location and thus improves efficiency. <strong>The</strong> authorities will<br />
achieve nationwide integration of customs clearance procedures this<br />
year.<br />
SAfEguARDINg PEACE AND STAbILITy IN ASIA-PACIfIC<br />
At a press conference after the conclusion of the “two sessions”,<br />
Premier Li Keqiang stressed China hopes to see continued peace and<br />
stability in the Asia-Pacific region. He said Asia-Pacific is the common<br />
home for all countries in this region, and China does not want to see<br />
any party feeling compelled to choose sides under the influence of the<br />
Cold War mentality. China hopes that the Asia-Pacific region will be<br />
one that enjoys good order and stability, a region that is able to work<br />
out issues through consultation and principles, properly manage<br />
differences and has the wisdom to resolve differences.<br />
Premier Li mentioned China and ASEAN have been pushing<br />
forward consultation on the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South<br />
China Sea, and substantial<br />
progress has been made in<br />
this regard. China hopes<br />
to see continued peace<br />
and stability in the South<br />
China Sea, believing<br />
that specific disputes<br />
should be addressed and<br />
resolved through dialogue<br />
among the parties directly<br />
concerned.<br />
He also stressed that China<br />
and the United States have<br />
been cooperating with each other for a long time in the Asia-Pacific<br />
region, and there is a wide area of common interests and cooperation<br />
between the two countries. Many U.S. multinationals have placed<br />
their Asia-Pacific headquarters in China. He hopes the areas of<br />
cooperation between the two countries will continue to expand.

Visiting the mystical city of Edoras<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />
.kiwi<br />
Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>17<br />
IT’S THE type of scenery that<br />
screensavers are made for – Mt<br />
Sunday, deep in the heart of the<br />
Canterbury high country.<br />
I always find it fascinating to<br />
experience your own turf through<br />
the lens of a tourist, gleaning fresh<br />
perspectives from the outside<br />
world on the place you call home.<br />
Better known to movie-fans<br />
as the mystical city of Edoras, I<br />
recently joined a guided journey<br />
to this spectacular cinematic location<br />
with Hassle-free Tours.<br />
Heading south of Christchurch,<br />
in a comfortable six-wheel Toyota<br />
Land Cruiser, with elevated seating<br />
and panoramic windows, our<br />
driver-guide, Hammond, set sail<br />
on his illuminating, chatty commentary<br />
on the two-hour drive.<br />
We entered the Hakatere<br />
Conservation Park, flanked by<br />
the alpine lakes of Camp and<br />
Clearwater and their tight cluster<br />
of rustic batches. A quick photostop<br />
to soak up the expansive<br />
high country vistas served merely<br />
as an appetiser for the majesty<br />
that lay ahead.<br />
On a heavily rutted gravel<br />
Hakatere-Potts Rd, bracketed<br />
in golden hills of snow tussock,<br />
matagouri and toetoe, the most<br />
celestial viewpoint appeared at<br />
the Mt Potts Cutting, stretching<br />
across the broad basin of the<br />
Rangitata Valley, buttressed by<br />
heroically high mountains and<br />
sheer cliffs.<br />
Welcome to the Kingdom of<br />
Rohan. Much of the land belongs<br />
to Mt Potts Station, however, in<br />
the wake of the Lord of the Ringsinspired<br />
popularity, DOC created<br />
an easement to Mt Sunday aka<br />
Edoras.<br />
From the public car park, it’s a<br />
15min walk up the southern spur<br />
of Mt Sunday. However, one of<br />
the many advantages of taking<br />
the journey with Hassle-free<br />
Tours is that it is the only operator<br />
with a concession to drive past<br />
the car park, fording the gin-clear<br />
streams and up part of the mountain,<br />
using the rutted track on the<br />
northern spur, which the land<br />
cruiser made light work of.<br />
From there, it’s a rather effortless<br />
stroll to the summit. Sixhundred<br />
metres above sea level,<br />
this rocky, protruding jewel in the<br />
MAJESTIC: Rutted gravel<br />
roads are no problem to the<br />
Hassle-free Land Cruiser.<br />
(Below) – Mt Sunday and the<br />
Rohan sword.<br />
middle of this insanely photogenic<br />
valley beckoned us like a<br />
beacon. After we’d mounted the<br />
summit, the 360deg alpine panorama<br />
is so enthrallingly kaleidoscopic,<br />
so jaw-droppingly epic,<br />
not even a month of Sundays<br />
basking in this perspective would<br />
become boring.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s Erewhon Station of<br />
Clydesdales-fame, the serpentine<br />
braids of the Rangitata River, the<br />
Southern Alps, the expansive valley<br />
plain and the silvery, slinking<br />
trail of Potts River. <strong>The</strong> air was<br />
so crisp and clear, the mountains<br />
seemed magnified, with their<br />
sharp edges and spectacular<br />
shingle fans.<br />
Only the sound of happilyclicking<br />
shutters, competed<br />
against the strengthening howls<br />
of the wind. <strong>The</strong> wind-speed<br />
reached 72km/h as we took in the<br />
summit spectacle and endured an<br />
involuntary facial exfoliation.<br />
Notorious for wind gusts, Hammond<br />
remarked that at the time<br />
of shooting, the Rings crew were<br />
buffeted by wind gusts as high as<br />
180km/h. <strong>The</strong> real beauty of the<br />
Hassle-free tour is all the insightful<br />
behind-the-scenes nuggets.<br />
On one particularly windy day,<br />
Sir Peter Jackson’s glasses flew off<br />
his face, over the cliff, never to be<br />
seen again. <strong>The</strong>re’s a movie relic<br />
to hunt for.<br />
Sir Peter stumbled upon this<br />
cinematic location by sheer accident.<br />
His location scouts were<br />
choppering down to the West<br />
Coast, but were forced to fly east<br />
due to bad weather, chancing<br />
upon Mt Sunday by a stroke of<br />
sheer luck. Many of the riders<br />
of Rohan were actually women<br />
from the local pony clubs in mid-<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Hammond also explained how<br />
the construction of the city of<br />
Edoras took nine months, showing<br />
us photos of the elaborate sets,<br />
including Golden Hall, which<br />
graced this rocky outcrop. <strong>The</strong><br />
cast and crew only spent 11 days<br />
actually shooting on sight.<br />
In spite of the alpine location,<br />
miraculously, they didn’t see one<br />
SPECTACLE: Mt Sunday-<br />
Edoras along with replica Lord<br />
of the Rings weaponry.<br />
drop of rain. Hammond also was<br />
equipped with an arsenal of replica<br />
weaponry and flags from the<br />
movie, which we had great fun<br />
posing with for obligatory photos.<br />
A variety of movie featurettes<br />
were played to our group, including<br />
some cracking bloopers.<br />
What really shone through was<br />
how much the cast genuinely fell<br />
in love with Mt Sunday. Driving<br />
back to Christchurch, Hammond<br />
finally revealed that he was Hammond<br />
Peek, the double Oscarwinner,<br />
who sound engineered<br />
the Rings trilogy.<br />
After 36 years in film and<br />

ANZAC DAY, TUESDAY APRIL 25<br />
Honour and respect<br />
On <strong>April</strong> 25, 1915 New Zealand and<br />
Australian troops landed on the Gallipoli<br />
Peninsula in Turkey in a bloody campaign<br />
that saw 2779 New Zealanders give their<br />
lives as well as over 100,000 Turkish,<br />
British, French and Australian servicemen.<br />
As news of the terrible events reached<br />
New Zealand, there was an outpouring of<br />
national pride in the courage shown by our<br />
soldiers in the face of appalling adversity<br />
and sacrifice.<br />
That pride continues today. Since most<br />
of those who died on <strong>April</strong> 25 have no<br />
known grave they are commemorated<br />
instead on the Lone Pine Memorial on the<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School Old Boys’ Association<br />
in conjunction with<br />

Please be seated by 9.50am<br />
Gallipoli Peninsula, and their names are<br />
remembered forever on war memorials<br />

Anzac Day has come to symbolise the<br />
respect of the nation for all those killed in<br />
war, and also honours returned servicemen<br />
and women. In Christchurch, our local<br />
communities from Akaroa to Wigram Air<br />
Force Museum are marking the event. This<br />
year, the city’s Dawn Service begins at 6am<br />
in Cranmer Square with the traditional<br />
parade, a service and wreath-laying<br />
ceremony. A citizens’ service will be held<br />
at the Transitional Cathedral in Latimer<br />
Square at 10am.<br />
<strong>The</strong> resiliance of the Kiwi spirit is marked<br />
on <strong>April</strong> 25 and reflected in the symbols of<br />
courage such as the Bridge of Remembrance<br />
and the Citizen’s Memorial in Cathedral<br />
Square. <strong>The</strong>y are important symbols for<br />

Playwright explores young Kiwis’<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
HIGH SCHOOL students<br />
immersed in the performing<br />
arts will examine one of New<br />
Zealand’s most significant<br />
battles with an award-winning<br />
playwright.<br />
With<br />
Anzac Day<br />
around the<br />
corner, playwright<br />
Dave<br />
Armstrong<br />
will host<br />
a one-off<br />
workshop<br />
Dave<br />
Armstrong<br />
with about<br />
15 students<br />
from across<br />
the city studying a play focusing<br />
on the Gallipoli campaign.<br />
Students involved in<br />
<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre’s youth<br />
programmes will study Armstrong’s<br />
play Anzac Eve with<br />
the playwright. It delves into<br />
young New Zealanders’ views<br />
on the Gallipoli commemorations.<br />
As well as a playwright,<br />
Armstrong is a screenwriter,<br />
trumpet player and columnist<br />
who has had work feature on<br />
stage, radio and television.<br />
Anzac Eve is a modern-day<br />
comedy telling the story of<br />
four opinionated young adults<br />
who meet the night before the<br />
dawn commemorations at<br />
Gallipoli.<br />
As well as focusing on the<br />
historic material in the show,<br />
students will study key techniques<br />
behind acting.<br />
“We will also have a chance<br />
to talk about acting and how<br />
our actors perform a role and<br />
digest all this information and<br />
turn it into a play,” Armstrong<br />
said.<br />
He said he wrote the play<br />
because he felt the country<br />
needed to look at Anzac Day<br />
through different viewpoints<br />
and was interested to know<br />
what it meant to younger<br />
people.<br />
“When I was growing up<br />
in the 1970s, I didn’t want to<br />
know about it basically. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
was the Vietnam War on. <strong>The</strong><br />
people I knew were very anti-<br />

military and I had little interest<br />
in Anzac Day,” he said.<br />
But with both of his grandfathers<br />
taking part in World<br />
War 1 and Armstrong joining<br />
a military band, he said he<br />
soon became interested.<br />
His maternal grandfather,<br />
Albert Turner, was wounded<br />
during the Battle of the<br />
Somme, while his paternal<br />
grandfather, John Armstrong,<br />
was wounded in the leg.<br />
A Trip Down Memory Lane with<br />
the New Zealand Army Band<br />
On the 30th of <strong>April</strong> at<br />
4:00pm the world famous New<br />
Zealand Army Band is going<br />
to perform at “<strong>The</strong> Piano”, 156<br />
Armagh Street, Christchurch.<br />
This is the first time that the<br />
band has performed a concert<br />
in Christchurch since the<br />
successful 50th celebration<br />
concert in <strong>20</strong>14. New Zealand<br />
Army Band Bandmaster<br />
Warrant Officer Class Two<br />
Phillip Johnston is thrilled to<br />
be able to showcase the band’s<br />
talents locally in Christchurch’s<br />
latest performing arts venue<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Piano”.<br />
Warrant Officer<br />
Johnston said<br />
“the venue is<br />
ideally suited for<br />
a traditional brass<br />
band concert and<br />
it will be a great<br />
afternoon of music<br />
making”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NZArmy Band’s program<br />
will be a trip down memory<br />
lane as the programme features<br />
classic brass band repertoire<br />
such as Eric Ball’s Resurgam<br />
and Kingdom Triumphant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> band has six current New<br />
Zealand solo champions and<br />
will feature three of them<br />
during the<br />
concert. Private<br />
Kyle Lawson<br />
will perform<br />
Oasis, Lance<br />
Corporal<br />
Joe Thomas<br />
will perform<br />
Shenandoah<br />
and Sergeant<br />
Kevin Hickman<br />
will perform Ave Maria.<br />
As is appropriate with the<br />
concert being so close to<br />
ANZAC day, the band will also<br />
feature Fernleaf Headstones<br />
and Passchendaele.<br />
Both of these pieces<br />
were written for<br />
the band by past<br />
member, world<br />
renowned composer<br />
Dwayne Bloomfield.<br />
Fernleaf Headstones<br />
was written for<br />
the repatriation of<br />
the Unknown Warrior and<br />
Passchendaele depicts the<br />
tragic events of the Third Battle<br />
of Ypres, which to this day is<br />
still the most deadly day in New<br />
Zealand’s wartime history. <strong>The</strong><br />
programme is rounded off with<br />
a couple of classic hymns and<br />
of course it would not be an<br />
NZ Army Band<br />
concert without<br />
a march or two.<br />
Director of<br />
Music of the<br />
New Zealand<br />
Army Band<br />
Major Graham Hickman<br />
is excited to have the<br />
band performing such a<br />
traditional programme<br />
in their home town. “<strong>The</strong><br />
band is in a really strong<br />
position at the moment<br />
with so many fine players,<br />
including seven current<br />
members of the <strong>20</strong>17 National<br />
Youth Band and 14 current or<br />
past National Band members<br />
within the ranks”.<br />

“It was a massive thing on<br />
both sides of the family . . .<br />
one grandfather limped for<br />
the rest of his life and died<br />
quite young. <strong>The</strong> other had<br />
a chest wound and coughed<br />
every winter,” he said.<br />
Armstrong said Anzac Eve<br />
looks at why the country<br />
chooses to commemorate the<br />
war and what young New<br />
Zealanders were doing there<br />
in the first place.<br />
“I think it is time to start<br />
saying what the hell were we<br />
doing there, why were we<br />
there, why did such terrible<br />
defeats occur, how did we lose<br />
so many and are we in danger<br />
of this happening again?”<br />
More than 2700 New Zealanders<br />
died in the Gallipoli<br />
campaign.<br />
Armstrong said he feels<br />
some facts in war history have<br />
been “glossed over,” including<br />
how many French died in Gallipoli<br />
and how Maori soldiers<br />
were treated.<br />

Gardening<br />
What to grow<br />
near fruit trees<br />
<strong>The</strong> fascinating world of companion plants is<br />
one to explore. Rebecca Lees writes about<br />
how they can give your fruit trees a boost<br />
PEACH COMRADE: Tansy<br />
planted with ‘blackboy’<br />
peach tree. Tansy deters<br />
a raft of harmful flying<br />
insects and is an excellent<br />
companion for the fruit<br />
garden.<br />
COMPANION PLANTING is one<br />
of the most enjoyable things you can<br />
do in the fruit garden, especially if<br />
you begin with a blank canvas.<br />
Thanks to the interplanting of a<br />
host of companion plants under and<br />
around fruit trees, dull lifeless soil<br />
over time becomes full of organic<br />
matter, and alive with beneficial<br />
creatures crawling amongst it. <strong>The</strong><br />
soil, now more fertile and robust,<br />
can aid the trees’ growth and access<br />
to nutrients, as well as increase<br />
the ability for the trees (and wider<br />
garden area) to keep pests and<br />
disease in check.<br />
Companions aren’t a magic wand,<br />
there are plenty of other tasks a<br />
gardener undertakes to ensure fruit<br />
trees are healthy and productive, but<br />
they’re a great tool and one I’ll never<br />
go without.<br />
How does it work?<br />
Companion plants can:<br />
•Lure pests to them and in turn<br />
help keep those pests away from<br />
other susceptible plants.<br />
•Confuse pests by disturbing the<br />
visual and chemical attributes that<br />
help pests find host plants.<br />
•Attract predatory insects, which<br />
then naturally lower the pest count<br />
in your garden.<br />
Keep an eye out<br />
If you’re particularly observant<br />
you may witness companions<br />
working their magic. You may<br />
notice ladybirds, a predatory insect;<br />
FRUIT FRIEND: Stinging nettle<br />
attracts ladybirds, which eat<br />
aphids.<br />
or spot a praying mantis leaping<br />
out, catching and devouring a<br />
white butterfly. As your companion<br />
plants become established, it’s really<br />
exciting to see these things unfold in<br />
your garden.<br />
Bees<br />
Planting to encourage bees and<br />
other pollinators into the garden<br />
helps with fruit-tree pollination. Try<br />
to plant those which flower around<br />
the same time your fruit trees<br />
blossom. Some plants bees enjoy<br />
(which also benefit the fruit garden)<br />
include borage, rosemary, lemon<br />
balm, basil, coriander, thyme and<br />
lavender.<br />
Comfrey<br />
An outstanding companion plant<br />
for fruit trees, comfrey brings up<br />
nutrients from deep down in the<br />
subsoil and releases them as the<br />
leaves die back. I plant it around all<br />
my fruit trees. It will grow from a<br />
tiny piece of root – making it easy to<br />
propagate, but difficult to get rid of<br />
once you have it.<br />
Phacelia<br />
I sprinkle phacelia seeds wherever<br />
there is a space in my garden. <strong>The</strong><br />
flowers are rich in nectar, and the<br />
plant helps boost populations of<br />
predatory insects.<br />
Don’t plant grass<br />
Many orchard floors are covered<br />
in grass, with fruit trees, of all the<br />
same type, neatly planted in straight<br />
rows. This may seem pleasing to the<br />
eye, but it is a field day for pests, and<br />
can make it difficult for fruit trees to<br />
grow well. Couch grass, for instance,<br />
releases a growth inhibitor via its<br />
roots, and this can slow or even<br />
stunt the growth of many fruit trees.<br />
When you must plant grass<br />
Mix things up a bit to add<br />
diversity and other benefits. You<br />
could include nitrogen-fixing<br />
clovers, lucerne, dandelions,<br />
mustard, and allow nettles to grow<br />
also. Stinging nettle allowed to grow<br />
around fruit trees helps with fruit<br />
tree health in many ways, including<br />
being a host to predatory insects.<br />
To attract predators<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many plants which<br />
attracts predators to the garden,<br />
some to try include: Flowering<br />
parsnips, fennel, carraway, hyssop,<br />
lemon balm and dill. Let all of these<br />
plants flower.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Christchurch<br />
Girls’ High School<br />
Te Kura o Hine Waiora<br />
At Christchurch Girls’ High School / Te<br />
Kura o Hine Waiora we believe each girl<br />
should be encouraged and guided to be all<br />
she can become. We want her to be aware<br />
of the myriad of possibilities that exist so<br />
that she can become confident, resilient<br />
and skilled; a young woman who stands<br />
proud and tall, in any context, who not<br />
only has a voice but something to say and<br />
who is able, to use the business metaphor,<br />
take a seat at any table she chooses.<br />
We believe we must educate, nurture<br />
and inspire young women. We wish to<br />
challenge our students to be discerning<br />
critical and creative thinkers, who are<br />
comfortable with the concepts of hard<br />
work and service. By providing a wide<br />
range of opportunities, both inside and<br />
National Secondary Schools<br />
Culinary Challenge, Gold Medal<br />
Young Enterprise Scheme,<br />
Excellence for Financial<br />
Management, Runner-up Winners<br />
for Canterbury Regional Competition<br />
outside the classroom, we want our<br />
students to mature as individuals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Girls’ High School<br />
/ Te Kura o Hine Waiora vision ensures<br />
our young women appreciate the rich<br />
heritage of tradition, recognise the<br />
necessity of innovation and understand<br />
that excellence should be a part of all that<br />
they do. Young women who realise that<br />
“excellence is not an act but a habit.”<br />
We want a Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
graduate to remain open to possibility<br />
and seize opportunity so that her future is<br />
not predetermined by others. Instead, we<br />
want her to have the skills, qualifications<br />
and experiences that allow her the<br />
freedom to create her own destiny.<br />
Burnside High School<br />
Open Evening <strong>20</strong>17<br />
Burnside High School is pleased to<br />
invite members of the community to<br />
our Open Evening on Tuesday 16 May.<br />
We are well aware of the significance<br />
parents place on the transition from<br />
Primary or Intermediate to Secondary<br />
School and how important it is to<br />
make the right decision about this<br />
transition.<br />
Burnside High School is a large<br />
secondary school, a centre for academic<br />
excellence, with an outstanding record<br />
of academic, cultural and sporting<br />
success. <strong>The</strong> size of the school ensures<br />
that there is an exceptionally wide<br />
range of subjects and extra-curricular<br />
opportunities available. This provides<br />
flexibility for students to follow a<br />
pathway suited to their ability, interests<br />
and skills.<br />
<strong>The</strong> unique structure of the school<br />
retains all the benefits of a large school<br />
but with students in Divisions of<br />
approximately 700. This ensures that<br />
students are known on an individual<br />
basis and are supported and mentored<br />
by senior students, Form Teachers,<br />
Deans and Guidance Counsellors.<br />
This strong pastoral and guidance<br />
focus helps Burnside High School<br />
students strive to excel and develop<br />
into well rounded New Zealanders.<br />
Students achieve well above the level<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
of similar schools in the attainment of<br />
NCEA certificates and endorsements<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
<strong>The</strong> ultimate campus for<br />
Avonside and Shirley<br />
A large Performing Arts Centre, three full-sized<br />
Gyms (complete with climbing wall) and four<br />
Sportsfields are among the key facilities that will be<br />
enjoyed by Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School in the future.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two schools are being rebuilt alongside<br />
one another and next to the new QEII Sport and<br />
Recreation Centre. <strong>The</strong>y will open in time for Term<br />
Two of <strong>20</strong>19 so students who enrol to study at the<br />
schools next year, will only spend just over a year on<br />
the schools’ existing sites.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new campus’ design was created by New<br />
Zealand’s ASC Architects – part of the ShapED<br />
consortium that is building and will also maintain<br />
the new schools.<br />
Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume says being<br />
able to start from scratch has enabled ASC to come<br />
up with the ‘ultimate campus’.<br />
“We are delighted. <strong>The</strong> new campus will feature<br />
better facilities than either of our schools have ever<br />
had in the past.”<br />
Shirley Boys’ Headmaster John Laurenson agrees,<br />
describing the design as modern and sympathetic<br />
to the surrounding area.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> two schools will be set back from Travis<br />
Road with numerous trees and landscaped areas. It<br />
will be a very green campus,” says John Laurenson.<br />
As well as the major facilities, each school will<br />
have a long list of specialist learning facilities.<br />
Highlights include an Electronics Lab, a 2D and<br />
3D Printing Room, six Science Labs and an Indoor<br />
Fitness Centre (complete with exercise equipment<br />
including rowing machines, stationery bikes and<br />
treadmills).<br />
Sue Hume says the design enables the schools to<br />
offer students completely new experiences.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> facilities are just so much better than what<br />
we have now. For example, in each school’s Social<br />
Sciences and Media there is a large Editing Suite,<br />
Presentation Space, two Recording Studios and a<br />
Media Studio. It’s a big step up,” says Sue Hume.<br />
John Laurenson says the schools will continue to<br />
deliver quality single sex education.<br />
“Students will spend most of their day in a singlesex<br />
environment – that is really important to us.<br />
Single sex education benefits both boys and girls.<br />
Our students will also benefit, both educationally<br />
and socially, from being able to learn alongside and<br />
mix with students from the partner school. It is a<br />
fantastic opportunity.”<br />
Two of the gyms on the campus will feature a climbing wall and be able<br />
to be linked for major events. <strong>The</strong> schools will also share a third gym<br />
<strong>The</strong> schools will have numerous outdoor areas that will be<br />
landscaped to enable students and teachers to work outside.<br />
<strong>The</strong> front of the campus will face Travis Road but be set behind a large landcaped courtyard and plantings.<br />
Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
OPEN EVENING<br />

<strong>The</strong> evening begins in the gymnasium<br />
at 5.00pm, with an address from the<br />
Principal, Mrs Sue Hume, and student<br />
representatives. A tour of the school<br />

Formation is at the heart of the education<br />
Middleton Grange School provides – a<br />
whole of life formation. We see learning<br />
as holistic; it aims to instruct the mind,<br />
shape the heart and equip the hand. <strong>The</strong><br />
root of formation is faith and so Middleton<br />
Grange not only provides a first rate general<br />
education but also biblically based teaching<br />
in the Christian faith.<br />
Formation of the mind is not primarily<br />
intellectual contemplation or conceptual<br />
mastery but a learning that nurtures<br />
wisdom and discernment. It is a learning<br />
that challenges the mind to think, discern<br />
and critique the ideas and theories pupils<br />
are exposed to from a Christian perspective.<br />
Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows<br />
the formation of the heart so that it shapes<br />
Christian Integrated<br />
Schools<br />
Working together for the good of<br />
students and families has been a successful<br />
recipe for Christian Integrated Schools in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christian School Network has been<br />
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield<br />
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian<br />
School, Hillview Christian School and<br />
Middleton Grange School decided in<br />
<strong>20</strong>05 that there was much to be gained<br />
by working together cooperatively.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y recognised opportunities to share<br />
successful teaching practice, curriculum<br />
development initiatives across a wide<br />
spectrum of school operations as well as<br />
cooperatively strengthening their special<br />
the character of each pupil to develop<br />
habits of righteousness, compassion and<br />
integrity. This formation of the mind and<br />
heart generates responsiveness. We want<br />
our pupils to engage in the society they<br />
live in, to be of benefit and blessing in a<br />
practical way.<br />
For Middleton Grange School, while our<br />
academic results are of the highest level,<br />
what is highly prized, is that our pupils<br />
exercise wisdom, serve the community<br />
and promote the well-being of others. It is<br />
about forming the pupil to be the person<br />
God created them to be.<br />
All of this is summed up in the school<br />
motto: Character, Excellence, Service for<br />
the Glory of God.<br />
Christian Character. <strong>The</strong>y recognised that<br />
their ability to serve students and families<br />
was greatly enhanced by working together<br />
in a close and trusting relationship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> success of the network has seen other<br />
schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece<br />
Rangiora New Life School became part of<br />
the network. <strong>The</strong> schools joined together to<br />
support the genesis of Ashburton Christian<br />
School and also culminated in the start up<br />
of a brand new school in Rolleston in <strong>20</strong>15.<br />
<strong>The</strong> schools have developed interlocking<br />
enrolment schools which assists in<br />
providing transparent pathways in<br />
Christian education from new entrant<br />
through to Year 13.<br />
A further strength has been a cooperative<br />
engagement with the Ministry of Education<br />
who have been pivotal in assisting the<br />
networks successful development.<br />

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Selwyn House School<br />
A Selwyn House School education is one of<br />
the greatest gifts you can give your daughter.<br />
We focus on putting the foundations in place<br />
to ensure all our girls receive a remarkable<br />
education that will prepare them for the<br />
global society they will live and lead in.<br />
Proudly, authorised to deliver the Primary<br />
Years Programme (PYP), we are committed<br />
to providing a continuum of international<br />
education to our girls. <strong>The</strong> focus from Early<br />
Childhood to Year 8 is on the total growth<br />
of the developing girl, encompassing<br />
intellectual, social, physical, emotional,<br />
spiritual and cultural needs. <strong>The</strong><br />
International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP<br />
is an international, transdisciplinary<br />
programme.<br />
Parents want the best for their<br />
daughters and, together with you, our<br />
teachers work to ensure we inspire all<br />
our girls to love and to be committed<br />
to learning as they develop their unique<br />
way of being ‘remarkable.’ To achieve<br />
this, we actively encourage the girls to<br />
think about what sort of person they<br />
want to be, what life they want to lead<br />
and what they are prepared to stand up<br />
and fight for.<br />
We believe in the strength of tradition,<br />
the promise of the future and the power<br />
of education and inspiration to equip our<br />
girls to face our continually-changing<br />
world with confidence and enthusiasm.<br />
Our girls stand out among their peers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are confident, articulate and<br />
determined young women who have the<br />
values, skills, and attributes needed to<br />
not only achieve their goals but to make a<br />
difference in their communities.<br />
Selwyn House School’s nurturing<br />
environment, small class sizes and<br />
comprehensive approach to learning<br />
not only enhances the capabilities of<br />
each year group but provides a smooth<br />
transition to secondary school. For<br />

Mairehau vs Wild<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual ‘Mairehau vs Wild’ Year 12<br />
Physical Education camp was recently. After<br />
days of torrential rain, the team was blessed<br />
with gorgeous weather, with the sun shining<br />
down on our epic adventures!<br />
Day 1 included raft building, kayaking<br />
and paddle-boarding at Lake Rua. <strong>The</strong> girls<br />
easily beat the boys in the raft building task,<br />
much to the boys’ dismay! Next stop was<br />
the Birch Hill Cemetery to see a tribute to<br />
the horses who served and died in World<br />
War 1. We were humbled by this impressive<br />
memorial, and its stunning and poignant<br />
location.<br />
Day 2 we scaled Mt Oxford. This lofty<br />
beast took us about 7 hours to climb, but<br />
we were treated to breathtaking panoramic<br />
views.<br />
That evening, we visited the Oxford<br />
Observatory. This was a real highlight. We<br />
got to see Jupiter, its ‘rings’ and four of its<br />
moons. We also got to see our closest star, a<br />
supernova and a ‘black hole’, and we found<br />
out where all our star signs live in the sky.<br />
On Day 3, we mountain-biked from base<br />
to Kowhai Riding School, where we got to<br />
learn to ride and trot horses, before taking<br />
them on a trek. A delicious fish and chip<br />
lunch followed, before making the journey<br />
back.<br />
This was a wonderful trip. We made new<br />
friends, and learned and experienced many<br />
new things.<br />

As<br />
When considering what our young people<br />
need in order to be positive, successful and<br />
contributing citizens the following positive<br />
dispositions, alongside formal qualifications,<br />
are thought to be important: empathy, selfcontrol,<br />
integrity, embracing diversity and<br />

Hillmorton High School, catering for Years<br />
7 to 13, has a diverse student population in<br />
terms of socio-economic status, ethnicity,<br />
prior learning, ability and disability. We fairly<br />
well represent New Zealand society and as<br />
such, our students study alongside students<br />
from varying backgrounds. Through this<br />
alone they develop empathy, self-control,<br />
and a deep understanding of diversity which<br />
we embrace. Our students develop into<br />
young adults where they are strong in their<br />
own identity; they have integrity.<br />
We know that Hillmorton students take a<br />
broad range of pathways on leaving school<br />
including university and understand the<br />
value of hard work and determination.<br />
We continue to work to understand how to<br />
teach in ways that help to develop “grit” and<br />
resiliency. We know to praise “effort” and I<br />
encourage all parents to do the same.<br />
Working together, our young people are<br />
developing the positive dispositions, skills<br />

indeed create great futures.<br />

Hagley sets you up for life<br />
If you are looking for a high school<br />
where teachers work closely with you<br />
to ensure you get the very best out of<br />
your high school years, then Hagley’s<br />
Junior Graduating College is the right<br />
choice for you.<br />
We are often asked, what makes Hagley different? We<br />
have a culture like no other. No-one wears a uniform<br />
and everyone is on a first name basis, but that is just for<br />
starters. Students come to Hagley because they’re treated<br />
with respect and valued as individuals.<br />
Hagley’s Junior Graduating College has small classes<br />
and we take a personal approach. It is all about what we<br />
can do to help you. Classes are fun, focused and inspire<br />
you to be the very best you can. What does that mean<br />
for you? You feel that your teachers are interested in you<br />
and care about your learning, that you are experiencing<br />
success – and much more.<br />
We love our students aiming high and doing well.<br />
Students graduate into Hagley’s large Senior College<br />
where they succeed academically and in many other ways,<br />
as well as become our school leaders. This is all built on<br />
the great foundations laid in our Junior College.<br />
Hagley’s Junior Graduating College combines the<br />
best of both worlds: freedom to be yourself and enjoy<br />
school in a structured and supportive environment<br />
where achievement is celebrated. Experience the Hagley<br />
difference – it will set you up for life!<br />

College student.<br />
Aspiration and success: learning at<br />
Linwood College is founded on personalised<br />
pathways. Learning is personalised and<br />
individual needs are recognised and met.<br />
Each individual receives the content and<br />
style of education that is appropriate for<br />

development.<br />
Our school’s Yr 7-13 curriculum creates<br />
aspiration and community. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
educational and social continuity, yet with<br />
the “rites of passage” that students of all ages<br />
stress are important as they grow and mature.<br />
It brings out the best in our students.<br />
Students know that what they are learning<br />
is based on their own individual pathways.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y increasingly take responsibility for<br />
their own learning, knowing that with<br />
positive actions and effort they will achieve.<br />
Students learn best when who they are<br />
– language, culture, identity – is affirmed.<br />

whānau-school partnerships as it recognizes<br />
and nurtures the uniqueness of each one of<br />
our students and their specific capabilities. It<br />

FOR<br />
SALE<br />
Popular Colorado<br />
up for a challenge<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
NEW ZEALAND has<br />
become quite the<br />
ute-buying nation.<br />
That doesn’t surprise me,<br />
Kiwis are following trends<br />
out of North America and<br />
Australia.<br />
In the last few years ute<br />
sales here have shot up to<br />
record levels. While it’s<br />
fair to say most buyers<br />
are choosing Ford and its<br />
Ranger, all manufactures<br />
which ply that part of the<br />
market are claiming success.<br />
None more so than<br />
Holden with its Colorado,<br />
it is selling hard on the<br />
heels of Ranger, a new<br />
model was launched last<br />
year and as I reported<br />
in these columns in<br />
November, it is a standout<br />
in terms of refinement and,<br />
of course, practicality.<br />
That evaluation focused<br />
on the mid-spec LTZ; five<br />
days with the range-topping<br />
Z71 has done nothing<br />
to alter my affection for the<br />
popular four-wheel-drive<br />
double cab.<br />
Clearly, the Z71 is aimed<br />
more towards the recreational<br />
buyer, it has decals,<br />
stripes, body kit and a<br />
level of specification which<br />
wouldn’t work for many<br />
industry roles.<br />
However, I found the<br />
deck cover functional and<br />
useful for low loads, I took<br />
a deck full of foliage to the<br />
green recycling centre, to<br />
be able to pack it down<br />
and hold it secure with the<br />
fibreglass cover was simply<br />
brilliant. I also used that<br />
area to transport the cricket<br />
gear I use as year 4 coach,<br />
to have it locked secure<br />
when I was away from the<br />
vehicle was also another<br />
bonus.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se tasks were no<br />
match for the Colorado’s<br />
1000kg load capacity, but<br />
they did serve to prove how<br />
adaptable the modern ute<br />
has become, and if you add<br />
in a 3500kg tow rating the<br />
Colorado is right up there<br />
in terms of load carrying<br />
performance.<br />
At the other end sits<br />
a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder<br />
twin-camshaft turbocharged<br />
diesel engine. It is<br />
rated bay Holden at 147kW<br />
HOLDEN COLORADO Z71: Genuine off-roader.<br />
and with 500Nm of torque<br />
available at just <strong>20</strong>00rpm it<br />
is a powerhouse, easily on a<br />
par with all of its competitors.<br />
Drive is harnessed<br />
through a six-speed automatic<br />
transmission. A<br />
manual is available, but<br />
it won’t compete with the<br />
auto in terms of sales figures.<br />
• Price – Holden<br />
Colorado Z71,<br />
$66,990<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 5361mm;<br />
width, 1872mm;<br />
height, 1800mm<br />
• Configuration<br />
– Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,2776cc,<br />
147kW, 500Nm, sixspeed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 11sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
8.7l/100km<br />
Shifts are smooth and the<br />
gearing is such that it provides<br />
relaxed motoring at<br />
highway speed along with<br />
the ratios needed for slow<br />
speed, off-the-seal travel.<br />
Backing up that theory<br />
is the fitment of a true<br />
low ratio transfer box, it is<br />
manipulated electronically<br />
by a console-mounted dial<br />
switch, at the driver’s command.<br />
It’s fair to say I didn’t<br />
take the Z71 off-road.<br />
When Holden launched<br />
the new series, it included<br />
a traction-challenging offroad<br />
excursion in North<br />
Canterbury. I felt I didn’t<br />
need to replicate that given<br />
all vehicles completed the<br />
undulating and muddy hill<br />
sections without drama.<br />
VERSATILE:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Z71 has a<br />
high level of<br />
specification.<br />
Instead, I spent most<br />
of my time with the Z71<br />
at highway speed and my<br />
regular commute. In those<br />
conditions it seems more<br />
car-like that ute-like. Sure,<br />
there is a lot of bulk to<br />
manoeuvre in close confine<br />
situations, but it’s no worse<br />
than any other vehicle of its<br />
type. And if you take into<br />
account the number which<br />
are being sold, buyers quite<br />
obviously don’t rate that as<br />
a challenge.<br />
On the open road, the<br />
engine turns over slowly<br />
at 1550rpm at 100km/h<br />
in top gear. At that speed<br />
it returns a 6.2-litre per<br />
100km (46mpg) instantaneous<br />
fuel usage figure,<br />
that accounted for<br />
an 9.4l/100km (30mpg)<br />
average figure during my<br />
time with the ute. That<br />
correlates well with the<br />
8.7l/100km (32mpg) figure<br />
Holden claims for a combined<br />
cycle average.<br />
Road and wind noise are<br />
both kept to a minimum,<br />
and the Colorado, as a<br />
series, imparts a smooth<br />
ride. Of course, it is better<br />
with a bit of weight in the<br />
back, but the reality is the<br />
load bearing suspension is<br />
relatively absorbent and the<br />
cab doesn’t jiggle unnecessarily<br />
on uneven surfaces.<br />
That’s an area where local<br />
research and development<br />
pays dividends. Holden<br />
Australia places a huge<br />
emphasis on developing<br />
vehicles for down under<br />
conditions and it certainly<br />
shows in Colorado. <strong>The</strong><br />
ride is acceptable and the<br />
entire in-cabin experience<br />
is comfortable.<br />
I guess, it would need to<br />
be. <strong>The</strong> Z71 isn’t cheap at<br />
$66,990, but for that money<br />
you do get a lot of kit.<br />
Even though the Z71’s<br />
flashy bits disguise its traditional<br />
ute look, make<br />
no mistake, it is still the<br />
quintessential Colorado<br />
which has carved out a<br />
huge reputation as a tough,<br />
go-anywhere worker.<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 />

Foran to meet Storm coach Craig Bellamy – report<br />
AUSTRALIAN MEDIA are<br />
reporting that Kieran Foran<br />
joining Melbourne is back on<br />
the table with the Warriors star<br />
supposedly seeking an audience<br />
with the Storm’s master coach<br />
Craig Bellamy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning Herald<br />
has reported that Foran is<br />
contemplating “the prospect of<br />
starting over in Melbourne.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warriors play the Storm<br />
on Tuesday in Melbourne in the<br />
traditional Anzac round clash<br />
between the two clubs.<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />
.kiwi<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning Herald<br />
claimed Foran would use the<br />
opportunity to meet Bellamy,<br />
who is seeking a replacement for<br />
departing playmaker Cooper<br />
Cronk who is moving to Sydney<br />
to be closer to fiancee Tara<br />
Rushton.<br />
It reported Bellamy has<br />
identified Foran and St George<br />
Illawarra captain Gareth<br />
Widdop as the best players<br />
available on the open market.<br />
It said Foran would tour the<br />
Storm’s facilities and meet with<br />
coach Bellamy and his key<br />
staffers.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Kiwi international is<br />
keen for the visit not to disrupt<br />
his game preparations and is<br />
likely to seek the permission<br />
of Warriors officials to do so,”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning Herald<br />
reported.<br />
“We are yet to rule any<br />
candidate out,” Storm chief<br />
executive Dave Donaghy said.<br />
“We won’t be rushed into<br />
anything, there are a number<br />
of retention and recruitment<br />
Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>17<br />
decisions to be made in the<br />
coming weeks and months.”<br />
Foran is also in Newcastle’s<br />
sights for next year and is<br />
being strongly linked to the<br />
Canterbury Bulldogs.<br />
Reigning premiers Cronulla<br />
may also be in the mix after<br />
losing Jack Bird to the Brisbane<br />
Broncos.<br />
Foran’s preference is to play in<br />
Sydney to be closer to his family<br />
but that doesn’t rule out the<br />
Storm as an option.<br />

CANTY PLAYERS IN NZ<br />
RUGBY UNDER-<strong>20</strong>S<br />
Four Canterbury players have<br />
been named in the New Zealand<br />
under-<strong>20</strong> squad for this month’s<br />
Oceania rugby tournament<br />
in the Gold Coast. Ere Enari,<br />
(Lincoln University), Josh<br />
McKay (Lincoln University),<br />
Tom Christie (Christchurch),<br />
Braydon Ennor (University) and<br />
Harrison Allan (Sydenham)<br />
will travel to Australia for the<br />
tournament, which begins<br />
on <strong>April</strong> 28. Recent Tasman<br />
acquisition and former<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />
player Will Jordan has also been<br />
selected. New Zealand will play<br />
Fiji, Samoa and Australia.<br />
BOWLS CHAMPIONS<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bowls Canterbury<br />
Champion of Champions titles<br />
will be decided at the Woolston<br />
Park club this weekend. Local<br />
club champions in singles, pairs,<br />
triples and fours have played<br />
elimination matches against<br />
other club champions over the<br />
last month. This weekend’s<br />
tournament will see the semifinals<br />
and finals in the four<br />
disciplines across both men’s<br />
and women’s competitions on<br />
Saturday and Sunday.<br />
Sticking it to the Aussies in 8-ball<br />
SIX CANTABRIANS will<br />
take on the world’s best in<br />
Australasia’s richest 8-ball<br />
tournament this weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch contingent<br />
of Danny Bowen, Healey<br />
White, Jun Carreon, Steve<br />
Denton, Jordan Maehe and<br />
Kyri Michaelides departed for<br />
Australia yesterday to compete<br />
at the Big Guns tournament in<br />
Bundoora, Melbourne.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will be joined by eight<br />
other New Zealand players,<br />
more than 100 of Australia’s best<br />
players, and a contingent from<br />
the United Kingdom, including<br />
three-time world champion<br />
Mick Hill.<br />
For most of the Christchurch<br />
players, this will be their first<br />
international tournament<br />
experience.<br />
“It’s going to be great to just<br />
see the next level and where you<br />
can bring your game to,” said<br />
Bowen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament has more<br />
than 128 players and a total<br />
prize pool of more than<br />
AUS$70,000, with the winner<br />
taking home AUS$12,000.<br />
Christchurch’s top player<br />
Steve Denton has watched<br />

internet for the last two years,<br />
but decided now was the time to<br />
send a Kiwi contingent across<br />
the ditch.<br />
After getting in touch with<br />
the organiser in Sydney, he was<br />
promised eight spots for New<br />
Zealand players in this year’s<br />
tournament. That number has<br />
now been extended to 14.<br />
“I think there are many<br />
players here in New Zealand<br />
that are going on this trip who,<br />
on their day, are capable of<br />
beating anyone,” said Denton.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament is an<br />
individual competition.<br />
However, the New Zealand<br />
contingent is going over with<br />
a team mentality. <strong>The</strong>y will all<br />
play in the same uniform and<br />
will even be sharing the same<br />
accommodation.<br />
Although you can be assured<br />
the team theory will go out the<br />
door if two of the Kiwis draw<br />
each other.<br />
A number of the competitors<br />
will also play in a single day<br />
tournament in Bundoora on<br />
Anzac Day.<br />
New Zealand has also been<br />
invited to send a team to<br />
compete in a tri-series against<br />
England and Australia in<br />
Canberra in November.

Home<br />
& Property<br />
Dressing your<br />
property up for sale<br />
Your house is on the market and you hope to get a good price. While<br />
market performance will largely influence this, presenting your home<br />
at its best will help.<br />
First impressions count from the<br />
moment potential buyers view a<br />
property from the street to the moment<br />
they walk through the front door.<br />
Weed the garden, cut back unruly<br />
shrubs and prune trees where needed.<br />
Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass<br />
seed over bald patches and fertilise the<br />
lawn.<br />
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess<br />
or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby<br />
items or fitness equipment and if too<br />
many photos on the wall pack these<br />
away so the home looks roomy.<br />
If there is a gap or a room needs<br />
enhancing, look at what you have. A<br />
piece of furniture might be painted up<br />
or an old leather bound book popped<br />
on the coffee table. Shelves will also add<br />
depth to a narrow space while mirrors<br />
may give the illusion of a larger space. In<br />
entryways, add an easy chair, small table,<br />
bookcase or large vase.<br />
Awkward spaces such as coved<br />
ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms might<br />
be converted into storage shelving and<br />
the room given a purpose as an office,<br />
playroom or extra bedroom so viewers<br />
can see how the room might be used.<br />
Stow possessions neatly in containers,<br />
shelving or tidily in cupboards;<br />
highlighting the storage potential within<br />
the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy<br />
for viewing at any time.<br />
Move the pets outside as not all buyers<br />
will be pet lovers while some may suffer<br />
pet allergies putting them off a house if<br />
they see a pet inside.<br />
If parts of the house look tired,<br />

consider renovating by painting walls,<br />
replacing worn carpet, or modernising<br />
the kitchen, bathroom and toilet;<br />
rooms that should sparkle. Replace<br />
tired cabinetry, or the benches and<br />
cupboard/drawer fronts then update old<br />
toilets, showers or kitchen appliances.<br />
Modernising these rooms can lift the<br />
final selling price.<br />
Use consistent and light paint<br />
colours throughout for balance and<br />
seamlessness, making the house appear<br />
more spacious. An effect that is increased<br />
when walls and curtains share the same<br />
or a similar colour.<br />
Consider the personality and purpose<br />
of a room. Bright colours lift living areas<br />
especially if large and open. However,<br />
bedrooms are suited to calmer softer<br />
colours with just a touch of bold. Layer<br />
bedding or use throws for effect along<br />
with cushions or a stuffed toy in a<br />
children’s room.<br />
With curtaining, smaller patterns<br />
or plain fabrics are the rule for smaller<br />
rooms whereas larger patterns make<br />
spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes<br />
are past their best, replace these even if it<br />
is only with neutral cotton curtains. <strong>The</strong><br />
effect will be worth it.<br />
Eco-friendly features will also add<br />
value for some buyers though not<br />
universally, however earthy natural<br />
colours and features are popular.<br />
Consider who your target buyers are<br />
likely to be and what will appeal to them.<br />
