A YOUNG teenager arrested 

for robbing a service station last 

week had been through the youth 

justice system after holding up the 

same place last year. 

Last Thursday night, masked, 

hammer-wielding robbers struck 

Challenge Opawa, taking more 

than $6000 of cash and tobacco. 

Police have arrested two of the 

four suspects, aged 14 and 15, 

and are seeking two others. The 

two that were caught have been 

charged with aggravated robbery. 

The Star has learned one of 

the group took part in the 

robbery of the service station in 

October. 

Police said yesterday they could 

not comment on that aspect of the 

case. 

The teenager participated in a 

community justice panel late last 

year. Hammers and a screwdriver 

were used as weapons in the October 

hold-up. 

A community justice panel puts 

offenders and victims in the same 

room to find a suitable punishment 

and help the offender make 

amends for the crime they have 

committed instead of putting 

young people through the court 

system.

SOCIETY DOES its best to 

rehabilitate young offenders 

and get them back on the rails. 

But for some, there is no 

hope and no matter what plans 

and initiatives are put in, their 

lives spiral out of control. 

Many years ago a detective 

told me a young burglar he had 

arrested would go on to kill. 

He did. He was involved in one 

of the most vicious murders 

the city has seen. A totally 

random murder of an innocent 

young woman. 

Another detective told me a 

young boy he was dealing with 

at the time had the propensity 

to become a very serious sex 

offender. How right he was. 

Like the killer, he is now 

serving a lengthy jail term for 

terrible crimes. 

So what hope is there for the 

young teenager who has been 

arrested for the Challenge 

Opawa service station robbery 

last week? (See page 1). We’re 

told its the same offender who 

robbed it in October. 

Chances are the justice 

system will see more of this 

fellow.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw the first trial of electric lighting at 

the Lyttelton wharves on June 19, 1882. On June 20, 1928, the 

Canterbury Aero Club was formed. The first pilot trained by 

the club was a woman, Aroha Clifford. On June 21, 1851, the 

Christchurch Cricket Club was formed. On the same day in 

1897 there were huge celebrations for Queen Victoria’s diamond 

jubilee which included the opening of Victoria Park on the Port 

Hills and the transformation of Market (Victoria) Square. In 

1909 the city’s high pressure water supply began operation. On 

June 22, 1954, Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme (right) murder 

Parker’s mother in Victoria Park. Their subsequent trial was 

one of the most sensational in the city’s history. On June 23, 

1854, Pioneer John Deans dies at Riccarton. The preservation of 

Deans Bush was one of his dying wishes.

BID TO GET NATIVE BIRDS BACK 

Native birds could return to the city 

as part of a new project to get people 

growing mistletoe in their gardens. The 

city council project provides instructions 

and the seed to plant the native at home. 

Mistletoe used to be a common sight, but 

the plant’s popularity had dropped because 

native birds were rare in the city and seed 

wasn’t being spread naturally. Mistletoe 

is a favourite food of the bellbird, and by 

encouraging more people to grow it, it 

is hoped the birds will return. You can 

register to take part before the weekend, on 

the city council website.

Drinking driver dobbed in by fellow motorist 


A DRIVER four times the 

legal drink-drive limit was 

seen weaving all over a road 

before crashing into a parked 

vehicle in Redwood on 

Monday. 

The driver recorded 

1080mcg/L. The legal limit is 

250mcg/L. 

A member of the public driving 

behind the vehicle phoned

THIS YEAR’S Santa Parade has 

been saved after Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel and city councillors 

approved funding for it. 

The parade organisers had 

just one month left before they 

ran out of money, as a funding 

cut last year 

forced them to 

dip into their 

reserves to pay 

for the parade. 

They made a 

passionate plea 

Pam Morris 

to the city council 

last month for 

$100,000 to save 

the parade. 

On Tuesday, city councillors 

approved a $35,000 grant for 

this year’s parade, which would 

be topped up by a $65,000 grant 

from the city council major 

events fund. 

Christchurch Children’s 

Christmas Parade Trust organiser 

Pam Morris said it was a 

great relief to know the parade 

would not have to shut down. 

“It’s a victory, because it 

means we can actually get on 

with organising the parade,” she 

said. 

The parade has been run in 

Christchurch for more than 70 

years, and she said she had been 

very worried it would have to be 

cancelled permanently. 

police after they saw the motorist 

driving erratically on Sawyers 

Arms Rd at about 1.30pm. 

They then followed the vehicle 

to Queen Elizabeth II Dr. 

The vehicle then clipped a 

van parked on the side of the 

road near St Bede’s College 

before coming to a stop about 

200m up the road at about 

1.45pm. 

Police arrived shortly after 

the crash and arrested the 

“If it wasn’t for The Star, we 

would never have got this far,” 

she said. 

The Star has run a series of 

articles highlighting the parade 

funding problems, which 

began when the city council 

cut the parade funding at short 

notice last year from $97,750 to 

$69,000. 

Until the funding cut, the 

cost of the parade – about 

$200,000 per year – had been 

split between corporate and 

private sponsorship and the 

driver, who is in his 40s. 

He was not injured in the 

crash. 

Senior Sergeant Stephan 

McDaniel said it was 

concerning that someone could 

be that intoxicated at that time 

of day and thought it was okay 

to drive. 

“This is why we have checkpoints 

at all different times of 

the day and this reinforces that 

need. We want to thank the 

city council. In December, Ms 

Dalziel promised the city council 

would not let the parade fall 

over and said the city council 

would look at including the 

funding in this year’s Annual 

Plan. 

But in January, the parade 

trustees were told in an email 

that there had been “no commitment 

so far” to set aside 

funding for the parade, so it 

would have to compete with 

other events for funding. 

The trust then turned to 

person for reporting this to us 

and taking the time to follow 

the vehicle so we could catch up 

with it quickly,” he said. 

The driver has been charged 

with excess breath alcohol and 

will appear in the district court 

on July 18. 

The incident comes days after 

The Star revealed last week 

that drink-driving statistics in 

Canterbury had almost halved 

over the last decade.

crowd-funding on Givealittle 

and fundraising to pay their 

bills, but they could not raise 

enough to cover the shortfall. 

But after the appeal to Ms 

Dalziel and city councillors last 

month, the Annual Plan was 

changed to include funding for 

the parade. 

The parade costs include rent, 

insurance, maintenance of floats 

and costumes, traffic management 

and running costs on the 

day of the parade and a wage for 

one paid organiser. 

In Brief 

MURDERER TO STAY IN JAIL 

High-profile murderer Ziggy 

Stardust Buckeridge, who 

killed a 14-year-old girl in North 

Canterbury 25 years ago, will stay 

behind bars. Buckeridge, 55, 

was declined parole after his 

latest hearing. He was deemed 

to pose a medium to high 

risk of sexual and violent reoffending. 

Buckeridge is serving 

a life sentence for murdering 

Rangiora teenager Julie Sands on 

Anzac Day, April 25, 1992. 

ACCIDENT VICTIM NAMED 

The man killed in a Rolleston 

workplace accident was 59-yearold 

Dayal Parbhu Patel. Mr Patel 

was killed after becoming trapped 

under a beam at about 12.30pm 

at Pegasus Engineering in the 

Rolleston Izone Business Hub 

on June 9. He died at the scene. 

WorkSafe have been notified. 

BID FOR STATE HOUSES 

Three community housing 

providers have been short-listed to 

take over up to 2500 Housing New 

Zealand properties and tenancies 

in Shirley, Bryndwr and Riccarton. 

The providers are Community 

Futures Christchurch, Otautahi 

Community Housing Consortium 

and a third consortium 

comprising Compass Housing 

Services Co (NZ) Ltd, AMP 

Capital Investors Ltd, and 

Brookfield Financial Australia 

Securities Ltd. Housing New 

Zealand will continue to own and 

manage up to 3300 properties in 

Christchurch. 

FUTURE OF EMPTY CHAIRS 

The city council is investigating 

options for where the 185 Empty 

Chairs on the corner of Madras 

and Cashel Sts could be moved to. 

Artist Peter Majendie spoke to city 

council’s social and community 

development committee on Monday 

about relocating the installation, 

which commemorates the 

people who died in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. Committee 

members voted to look into other 

sites. The current site is earmarked 

for the new multi-purpose arena.

Challenge Opawa staff 

member Ged Hilliard who 

was held up on Thursday 

said the teenager needs to 

be “taught a lesson.” 

“Sounds like he wants 

to be a criminal for life. 

So it is hard to tell how he 

will react to any form of 

punishment,” he said. 

Mr Hilliard had a gut 

feeling when he was being 

robbed that one of the 

offenders was same as in 

October. 

“When it happened I 

thought, I’ve seen this 

before,” he said. 

One of the hammerwielding 

robbers told Mr 

Hilliard to back-up or he 

would kill him. 

‘Sounds like he wants

and features a good mix of civic 

issues, crime and community 

stories.” 

Mike Fletcher who judged the 

most improved newspaper category

is a cracker. It is a joy to read. 

Judging by The Star’s pagination 

growth, the readers and advertisers 

like it and value it too.

Michaela Bolster was the sales 

excellence winner. 

‘The Star is filling a vital 

niche for news and views in

Cameraman Ron Madden’s colourful 


RON MADDEN, a colourful 

TVNZ cameraman who worked 

for more than 40 years covering 

stories from conflicts in South 

Africa to the Canterbury 

earthquakes, died last week after 

a battle with cancer. 

Mr Madden, 64, began writing 

his own eulogy soon after he was 

diagnosed with cancer early last 

year, saying: “I would rather tell 

my own lies”. He began it with a 

paraphrase of comedian Spike 

Mulligan’s infamous epitaph: 

“See, I told you I was bloody 

sick!” 

Friends and workmates of 

Mr Madden said that described 

his attitude to life – fun, witty, 

forthright and irreverent. 

But they also described him as 

someone who was dependable, 

a great friend, and gave a huge 

amount of time and passion to 

helping others. 

He grew up in Christchurch 

and went to St Bede’s College. 

In his eulogy, which he worked 

on for months while receiving 

treatment, Mr Madden said the 

highlight was starting a gun 

club at school, and the worst day 

was getting “six of the best” for

cheating in Latin class. 

He worked in several jobs before 

starting at TVNZ, including 

as an NZ Forest Service ranger, 

tour driver, deer shooter and 

concrete truck driver. 

As a cameraman he was able 

to do a lot of travelling, including 

to Antarctica, which he 

described as “the most boring 

place in the world”, and to South 

Africa, where he remembered 

riding with armed soldiers, 

filming young boys playing in a 

rubbish dump. 

TVNZ South Island news 

operations manager Mike 

Fitzgerald said he had worked 

with Mr Madden since the early 

80s. 

He said Mr Madden was a 

fantastic cameraman, with a 

passion for the job, a wonderful 

eye for a frame and an ability to 

engage with people.

life behind the lens remembered 

He captured many important 

moments in history, including 

a lot of the central city footage 

immediately after the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, which is 

still used today. 

Mr Fitzgerald said one of Mr 

Madden’s biggest strengths was 

his ability to help people open up 

on camera. 

“I’ll always remember some of 

his whitebaiting pieces filmed on 

the Coast, where he really loved 

what he was doing. The colours, 

the sunrises and sunsets, the 

water, the older people’s faces, 

he just made it sparkle,” he 

said. 

Although Mr Madden was 

not impressed with Antarctica, 

he loved the West Coast, and 

also took any opportunity to get 

in a helicopter or four-wheeldrive. 

“He loved the outdoors but you 

wouldn’t get him hiking up a hill, 

he preferred to drive or fly. He 

had his own 4WD and he loved 

it, arm out the window, Ray Bans 

on,” Mr Fitzgerald said. 

He said Mr Madden had 

“underneath his gruff exterior, 

a lot of kindness,” and took the 

time to take many young people 

under his wing and train them

– including Phil Keoghan, who 

went on to host The Amazing 

Race. 

He had many nicknames 

– Ron to friends, Mads to 

workmates, and “builders crack” 

for the low-rider jeans he wore 

“before they were cool.” 

Outside work, Mr Madden 

was a passionate clay shooter, 

and represented New Zealand 

at several international 

championships. 

Former South Island Clay 

Shooters president Neil 

Winsloe said Mr Madden was 

instrumental in setting up and 

running the club. 

“If there were things to be 

done, Ron would do them. He 

was a great organiser, whether it 

was organising accommodation 

for a trip or fundraising for the 

club. He was a lot of fun. And 

he was a good drinker, always 

had a lot of stories. Without his 

assistance and backing, the club 

would not be what it is in the 

South Island today, that’s for 

sure,” he said. 

Mr Madden finished his 

eulogy with a message to his 

wife, Deanne Harvey: “Thank 

you, thank you, Deanne, for 

everything.” 

Mr Fitzgerald said Mr Madden 

had to finish at work early last 

year because of his cancer, after 

barely taking a day sick in his 

life – he had 280 sick days owing 

when he left. 

“All in all, he was a really good 

person, a really decent bloke, 

and a bit of a legend in his own 

lifetime,” he said. 

A service to remember Mr 

Madden’s life will be held next 

month where his eulogy will be 

handed out..

TEARS, CHEERS and telling 

offs – Anna Wilding has had a 

front row view of Barack and 

Michelle Obama’s personal 

moments in the White House. 

The Cantabrian spent two 

years working in there as an 

independent correspondent, one 

of more than 200 people from 

across the world who make up 

the White House press corps. 

She recently moved back to 

Christchurch for family reasons, 

but said she kept her press credentials 

and planned to return to 

Washington DC later this year. 

She began working there in 

2015, representing Herald de 

Paris, an online news site. 

She often photographed the 

Obamas, attended many of their 

meetings, and followed their 

political ups and downs. 

She said both President 

Obama and the then First Lady 

were “very emotive” people, and 

fascinating to watch. 

“I’ve seen Obama look jaded 

and exhausted, and I’ve seen him 

cheer and laugh when sports 

teams came in. I’ve seen him hug 

his staff. I’ve seen Michelle tell 

people off. She interacted with 

children, and she worked in the

The Oval Office, where she was 

invited to photograph President 

Obama sign important documents, 

was smaller than she had 

always imagined, she said. 

The amount of security checks 

and clearances she had to go 

through to first be approved and 

then to enter the White House 

grounds were also something she 

had never experienced before, she 

said. 

She was working there when 

Donald Trump became president, 

and said the atmosphere completely 

changed as he replaced 

most staff, right from the security 

to the interns. 

“I think the new administration 

coming in weren’t fully prepared, 

they didn’t have the same 

political background. Everyone 

was polite but it was chaotic. 

They’re obviously still finding 

their feet,” she said. 

Ms Wilding’s background is in 

the film industry, and she spent 

some time living in LA before 

moving to Washington DC – but 

she said Hollywood was “child’s 

play” compared with work in the 

White House. 

She said many correspondents 

there had worked in the White 

House for 20 or 30 years, and 

breaking in as a New Zealander 

was very difficult. 

“You do feel like a minority, 

and realise we are from a very 

small country that doesn’t make 

much difference. They’d rather 

answer a question from someone 

from Korea, because of the importance 

of the relations there, or 

from one of the five major American 

networks,” she said.

FIGHTING THE Port Hills 

fires cost the Department of 

Conservation more than $4.5 

million. 

Two fires, several kilometres 

apart, started in early February 

this year; two days later they 

had combined. Helicopter pilot 

and ex-SAS soldier Steve Askin 

died when his chopper crashed 

trying to fight the fires. Nine 

houses were destroyed and two 

were significantly damaged. 

Hundreds of people were evacuated. 

DOC spokesman Andy 

Roberts said the department 

contributed more than $3.5 

million in operational costs and 

$1 million in staff and other 

internal costs. This amounted to 

about half of last year’s firefighting 

costs of $8.7 million. 

“The department supplied 

more than 130 fully trained 

rural firefighters, including fire 

behaviour experts, air attack 

managers and sector leaders 

during the fires, which started 

in February and burned for two 

months. 

“If we add in time spent on 

aerial mapping, incident planning 

and other background 

support roles, that would come 

to more than 11,000 hours of

staff time, some of whom were 

on duty for up to 15 hours a day. 

This all amounts to about 50 per 

cent of the total costs incurred 

on the Port Hills fires, which 

destroyed some 1660ha.” 

DOC has to respond to fires 

within a 1km margin of protected 

areas. No public conservation 

land was burned in the Port 

Hills fire. 

DOC had also helped 

fight major fires at Broken 

River, Hawkes Bay, Hanmer and 

Queenstown during last summer’s 

fire season. More than 460 

staff are fully trained to fight 

fires on or near conservation 

land.

in rural fire and the threat 

it poses to the natural and heritage 

values that DOC is charged 

with protecting.

Doctors warn of wait times 

Street lights 

set to go LED 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

THE CITY’S street lights could be 

replaced with LED technology in 

a bid to save $1.6 million each year 

in electricity costs. 

The city council is preparing an 

application to the New Zealand 

Transport Agency to apply for 

funding to do the work. 

City council planning and delivery 

transport manager Lynette 

Ellis said it would cost about $25.5 

million to replace the city’s 38,000 

street lights, excluding parks. 

If the city council’s application 

is approved, NZTA would pay for 

about $21.6 million of the total 

cost. 

Twelve per cent of the street 

lights on roads already have LED 

lights. For 2017, electricity to run 

the street lights was expected to 

cost $4.6 million, Ms Ellis said. 

Dunedin City Council will begin 

replacing its 15,000 street lights 

with LED technology soon, at a 

total cost of $14 million. 


YOU MAY face a wait to see a 

doctor this winter, as both GPs 

and hospitals warn they are at 

capacity. 

The Canterbury District 

Health Board, which has 

expressed 

concern that beds 

at Christchurch 

Hospital will be 

full this winter, 

has asked people 

to call their 

Kate 

Baddock 

community 

doctor first if they 

are sick. 

But the city’s 

GPs have said they are also 

worried about numbers, and are 

already struggling to fit people 

in for appointments. 

CDHB planning and funding 

general manager Carolyn 

Gullery said a number of 

strategies were in place to 

manage the situation, 

including an “acute demand 

programme” that could treat 

people at home. 

She was concerned about 

bed numbers, especially at 

Christchurch Hospital, she said. 

“It will be a challenging 

winter and we recommend that

the people who have health 

conditions that can become 

worse in winter connect with 

their general practice team and 

develop a plan about what to do 

if they become unwell,” she said. 

New Zealand Medical 

Association chairwoman Kate 

Baddock told The Star doctors 

had reported being too busy to 

see more patients. 

That was because funding 

constraints meant some medical 

centres could not afford enough 

doctors, Dr Baddock said. 

But Christchurch doctors 

say they will not turn people 

away. 

Hornby 

Medical 

Centre practice 

manager Rosie 

Kennedy said 

appointments 

were kept free 

for urgent cases, 

and people with 

illnesses like the 

flu would be seen. 

She said funding was a 

David 

Jones 

problem, as they would build 

an extra room and bring in an 

extra doctor if they had more 

money. 

David Jones, a director 

of Better Health practices, 

which includes the Linwood, 

Moorhouse and Barrington 

medical centres, said they were 

under a lot of pressure. 

As well as the cost of extra 

patients, he said GPs had 

also faced extra technological 

and health and safety requirements, 

and the funding had 

not kept up.

Councillor attacks arches 

• By Julia Evans and Sarla 

Donovan 

CITY COUNCILLOR Glenn 

Livingstone has lashed out over 

spending on the new airport 

Gateway Bridge arches on social 

media. 

On Saturday, fellow councillor 

Vicki Buck posted a picture of 

the bridge’s arches at the Memorial 

Ave/Russley Rd intersection 

to her Facebook page. 

Cr Livingstone kicked back replying: 

“What a waste of money.” 

The arches have attracted a lot 

of criticism from the public due 

to their $4 million price tag. 

CONTROVERSIAL: At a cost 

of $4 million, the new airport 

arches are taking shape on 

Memorial Ave. 


And Cr Livingstone said 

the money would have been 

better spent on a replacement 

bridge for Pages Rd in New 

Brighton. 

However, he said he was simply 

frustrated with the prioritisation 

of the arches over projects 

residents of the city’s east have 

been waiting for. 

“I was trying to make a point 

over priority. Some would argue 

both are a priority, and the 

intersection (at Memorial Ave) 

did need addressing. It’s just 

frustration at different viewpoints 

and seeing other priorities 

leapfrogging what our local 

(Coastal-Burwood) community 

needs,” he said. 

The Pages Rd bridge was seen 

as a priority, two years ago but 

was pushed back to 2021 to 

2023, Cr Livingstone said. 

He also admitted all elected 

city council members are guilty 

of “letting fly” on social media 

from time to time. 

Cr Buck responded to his 

comment by posting a breakdown 

of how much funding the 

city council was putting into 

each ward. 

The arches are funded by the 

National Land Transport Fund 

not the city council. 

Man shot in face 

by police was 

also a sex offender 

A 24-YEAR-OLD shot in the 

face by police is a convicted sex 

offender, it can now be revealed. 

Murray James Allan (right) 

pleaded guilty to a 

variety of charges in the 

district court on Friday 

after the incident in 

Woolston earlier this 

year. 

Police fired on Allan 

after he aimed a blank firing 

pistol at officers when a patrol 

went to search the parked vehicle 

he was in. 

Records show in January 2013, 

the then 19-year-old was jailed 

for three years and two months 

for having non-consensual sex 

with a 14-year-old in what was 

described as “very close to rape”. 

The court was told the girl was 

emotionally traumatised, and 

had tried to commit suicide twice 

following it. 

At the time, Allan’s presentence 

report said he could 

cause a “high level of harm” if he 

offended again. 

Allan was released on parole 

on December 3, 2015, with 

conditions he would not have any 

unsupervised contact 

with under-16s, or with 

the victim. 

Allan has been 

remanded in custody, 

and will be sentenced 

for the February 

incident on August 10. 

Police had been on an 

unrelated call out at 2am when 

they stopped to question Allan 

and another man in the parked 

car. 

When officers thought they 

saw a cannabis pipe in the vehicle 

they said they were going to 

search it and called for back 

up. 

Allan then produced the pistol 

and aimed it at one of the officers, 

prompting police to shoot him in 

the side of the face. 

He was given first aid, before 

being taken to hospital in an 

ambulance with minor injuries.

POLICE SEIZED a rifle 

and knife from a vehicle 

they pulled over in the 

early hours of Wednesday. 

The suspicious vehicle 

was stopped on Holland St 

in Avonside at 3.33am. 

A police spokeswoman 

could not determine if 

the car was reported to 

police, or if it was stopped 

after being noticed by the 

patrolling officers. 

He said schools were 

more than places to learn 

– they helped shape the 

identity of the community. 

So any design had to 

reflect that and the values 

and culture of the community. 

“This project is special 

not only for its scale but in 

particular for the strong 

pedagogical vision developed 

by the college and the 

leadership role it is looking 

to undertake in the 

revitalisation of the eastern 

suburbs of Christchurch.” 

He said the project was 

personal for him as he 

lived in Redcliffs, which 

was part of Linwood’s 

catchment, and he wanted 

to contribute to shaping 

the future of the school. 

“I believe the current 

college leadership is working 

successfully to rebuild 

the confidence of all of 

their community in what 

Linwood College has to, 

and can, offer.”

They searched the vehicle 

and found a rifle in the 

boot and a knife. 

A 34-year-old man was

weapon and unlawful 

possession of a firearm. 

He will appear in the 

district court on June 27.

The school’s buildings

students living in its 

catchment, including 

Sumner, Redcliffs, Mt

many of whom travel to 

schools on the other side

The redevelopment 

comes after a limited statutory 

manager was asked to 

step into the school in 2014 

to resolve issues between 

staff and management. 

Principal Margaret Paiti 

resigned in June 2015 after 

five years in the role.

Fake Lions gear bust at stadium 

FAKE LIONS tour 

gear was seized at AMI 

Stadium before the match 

against the Crusaders. 

Government officials 

are cracking down on the 

sale of fake merchandise 

during the tour. A Ministry 

of Business, Innovation 

and Employment 

spokeswoman confirmed 

fake Lions tour gear had 

been seized before games 

in Christchurch, Dunedin 

and Rotorua. 

“A group of individuals 

have been selling items 

with unauthorised association 

with the Lions 

series.” 

MBIE tourism, sectors, 

regions and cities general 

manager Iain Cossar said 

it is “currently investigating 

a small number of 

incidents involving the 

sale of merchandise” and 

“three to four individuals” 

have been responsible for 

it. 

The spokeswoman 

said MBIE has served “a 

number” of breach notices 

under the Major Events 

Management Act 2007, 

and “continues to gather 

evidence should the ministry 

decide to prosecute.” 

MBIE has not encountered 

any people selling 

fake All Blacks merchandise 

before games. 

The series status as a 

major event under the Act 

means it has protection 

for specific words and emblems 

closely associated 

with the tour.

Retirees bid to revive 

Garden City image 


A GROUP of gardeners are 

cultivating a plan to put 

Christchurch back on the 

map as the Garden City – a 

public garden the size of 

nine rugby fields, created 

by retirees. 

The plan has been 

designed by Christchurch 

Beautifying Association 

members, who are working 

with private developers to 

create it. 

Their plan is to create a 

50-60 unit retirement village, 

where residents would 

all be gardeners. 

Each unit would have its 

own garden, maintained 

by the owner – but the 

gardens would all be connected 

and open to the 

public, forming a giant 

public park. 

On Monday, association 

president Ron Andrew and 

former president Brian 

Briggs put the plan to the 

city council’s social and 

community development 

committee. 

Committee chairman 

Phil Clearwater said staff 

had been asked to look at 

ways the city council could 

be involved and support 

the project. 

That could include 

building a community hall 

or facility in the park, or 

helping the group through 

the consenting process to 

speed it up. 

Mr Briggs said he already 

had a list of people 

interested in buying units 

in the village, and had met 

with developers willing to 

build it. 

“I often talk to people 

about going into a retirement 

home, and they say, 

‘no, I definitely won’t do 

that, because I won’t have a 

garden’,” he said. 

The plan would allow 

people to downsize into a 

supported living environment, 

while still giving 

them space to be creative 

and contribute to the community, 

he said. 

“It would be a real dream 

come true for a lot of people,” 

he said. 

The group is currently 

working with building 

company G.J Gardner 

Homes, and are looking 

at creating the village on 

a 9.5ha piece of land near 

Papanui. 

Mr Briggs said each unit 

would be designed to look 

like a little cottage, but 

would have a fully modern 

interior. 

The estimated cost of 

each unit title would be 

about $350,000, he said. 

Once set up, the village 

would be run by a body 

corporate. 

Mr Andrew said he believed 

the village could be 

a huge asset for the city. 

After Christchurch won 

the Garden City of the 

World title in 1997, thousands 

of people travelled 

from as far as the United 

States and Japan to visit, 

he said. 

He hoped the village 

could become a similar 

attraction.

Walk to prevent suicide 


MORE THAN 500 people 

are expected to gather in 

Hagley Park this weekend 

to raise awareness for 

suicide prevention. 

HopeWalk Christchurch 

will take place from 8-9am 

on Saturday, starting at the 

Botanic Gardens Visitor 

Centre. 

HopeWalk Suicide 

Prevention Trust founder 

Joseph Fa’afiu said the 

walk would bring people 

together to show people 

are not alone. They would 

be wearing yellow – the 

colour of hope. 

The trust aims to break 

the stigma, shame and 

silence around suicide. A 

coroner’s report said Canterbury 

had the highest 

number of suicides in the 

country from July 2015 to 

July 2016, with 78. In the 

last decade, there were 599 

suicides in Canterbury. 

Mr Fa’afiu said trauma 

and anxiety, which could 

lead to depression, was 

a high contributor to 

the high suicide rate in 

Christchurch.

also act as more external

carry.”

Importing makeup 

proves a success for 

determined couple 

Top brands in makeup, skin care and 

fragrance are offered at significantly 

lower prices than normal retail at The 

Makeup Sale in the Bush Inn Centre, 

Christchurch and George Street, 

Dunedin. 

“Our mission is that we want our 

customers to save money – that’s what 

the business is designed for,” says owner 

Palak Harry. 

Palak and husband Alex arrived in 

Christchurch from India in 2012 with 

just $700, wanting to settle here and start 

a business. Palak had previous business 

experience, and decided that for their 

New Zealand business venture she 

would import cosmetics and sell them 

here. Reaching their goal hasn’t been an 

easy road, however. 

“We had a very rough start,” she says. 

“After working and saving the money to 

start the business we ordered our first 

stock, but it didn’t arrive. So, we saved up 

again and ordered stock from the United 

States. It arrived, but it was all expired so 

we had to get rid of it all.” 

Store based in Bush Inn Centre 

Despite these setbacks, Palak was 

determined to carry on with her plans. 

“In my heart, I believed there would be a 

good supplier, and eventually, after a few 

more attempts I found one.” 

The couple bought a small quantity from 

the US supplier and sold the products 

from their home. When this proved 

successful, they started selling at the 

Sunday market, with Alex still working 

full-time and all their extra money going 

back into the business. 

The next step was opening pop-up stores 

on four days a week – Wednesday to 

Saturday. 

“WHERE THE SALE NEVER ENDS” 

up To 70% off 

The one stop shop for Cosmetics and Fragrances (for women and men) 

THE MAKEUP SALE SHOP 

Owners: Alex & Palak Harry 

“We opened them as an ‘event’, in 

different towns around the South 

Island –Timaru, Dunedin, Nelson and 

Blenheim. We were all over the South 

Island for a couple of years and also in 

Christchurch at The Palms, Hornby, 

Northlands Mall and the Bush Inn. 

These proved a great financial success 

and continued to grow, but with Palak 

now pregnant with their first child, they 

decided it was time to settle down. So in 

January 2016 they opened 

their first store, The 

Makeup Sale, in the Bush 

Inn Centre, with a second 

store opening in Dunedin 

in September 2016. Palak 

now employs nine staff 

over the two stores. 

“We will still have 

the pop-up stores in 

Northlands Mall starting 

in August/September,” 

Palak says, “and we 

are looking at opening 

another permanent store 

in Rangiora.” 

The Makeup Sale stocks a wide selection 

of top brands including Revlon, Almay, 

L’Oreal, Maybelline, Rimmel of London, 

New York Colors and Cover Girl. They 

are also the exclusive New Zealand 

stockists of the UK brand Technic. 

“An example of the savings for customers 

is more than 50 per cent on foundations 

– they are never more than $20,” Palak 

says. “We also have a huge range of 

fragrances. We buy products at lower 

prices and pass these low prices on to 

our customers.”

Ensuring collaboration 

ON Monday 

afternoon about 

300 people gathered 

at The Piano on 

Armagh St for the 

first City Leaders’ 

Forum. 

When I was appointed 

Minister supporting Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration just 

over seven weeks ago, I committed 

to keeping the community 

as up-to-date as possible and 

working alongside Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel, the city council, Regenerate 

Christchurch and Otakaro, as 

well as other agencies and community 

groups. 

I did this because I firmly 

believe that by working together 

we can create something really 

special. 

The forum, hosted by the 

mayor and I, was the first in a 

series of events to ensure greater 

collaboration and cooperation 

among our city’s leadership. 

It was an opportunity to 

communicate our successes, our 

challenges and the milestones 

we’ve achieved since the quakes. 

It was also an opportunity for 

open and honest discussion on 

key rebuild and regeneration 

issues. 

The mayor and I are united 

in our commitment to making 

Nicky Wagner 

Christchurch the best possible 

place to live, work and raise a 

family. We see a city full of opportunity. 

Accompanied by a panel of 

local business leaders, community 

group representatives 

and regeneration partners, we 

discussed concepts such as maintaining 

momentum and effective 

collaboration, as well as specific 

regeneration projects like the 

metro sports facility, performing 

arts precinct and residential red 

zone. 

Christchurch is lucky to have 

so many leaders of such a high 

calibre — all of whom want 

what’s best for their city. I’m a 

naturally optimistic and positive 

person but that doesn’t mean 

ignoring the challenges we’re facing 

or the work that still needs to 

be done. By working together, by 

more actively engaging with the 

community and staying focused 

on the task at hand, we can and 

will be successful. 

I look forward to the next 

forum at the end of next month. 

Some city councillors are 

frustrated they still haven’t 

had a formal meeting with 

the new rebuild boss more 

than two months after she 

took over the role 

Sam Newton – This woman 

did nothing for the people who 

elected her after the earthquakes, 

now she’s in a higher 

profile job I’m not surprised 

that’s changed. 

Andrew Johnson – Who 

would have thought, eh. Someone 

actually worse than Brownlee 

exists. 

Nicholas Smeaton – 

Maybe she’s decided she’s got 

more important things to do – 

like going sailing on Auckland 

Harbour. 

Alan Papprill – She’s probably 

out on the water somewhere 

rather than engaging with either 

the voters or her job. Out of 

touch with reality . . . typical 

National Party hack. 

Graham Pownceby – Did 

anyone seriously expect anything 

more of a National MP? 

Good job, the election isn’t far 

away. 

Chris Farrier – Time for a 

rethink on this rebuild boss, we 

have been sitting in limbo far 

too long. 

Graham Pownceby – 

No wonder she’s not had any 

meetings, too busy out on the 

harbour.

Hamish Wilson – But she’s 

happy out there, sailing on the 

Waitemata Harbour. 

Hugh Jonathan 

McGuire – That’s disappointing. 

The artist behind the 

185 Empty Chairs tribute 

is working to make it 

permanent – and creators 

of The Lord of the Rings 

movies may help to make it 

happen 

Juliet Dalley – I love this 

memorial as it helps to visualise 

each person no longer with us. 

As the article says – “the missing 

chair at the table”. I appreciate 

not all people will share my sentiments, 

but for me this makes 

a much greater statement than 

the new memorial. Good luck to 

the artist (Mr Peter Majendie) 

and I do hope the city council 

seriously considers the proposal. 

It will be sad to lose this significant 

tribute to all those that we 

lost. 

Julie Foster – I think it’s a 

very visual and powerful memorial 

to those we lost on a day 

that changed our lives forever, I 

personally think the 185 chairs 

have a place in our city and in 

our hearts. 

Stephen Graham – We 

have our permanent memorial 

now. The chairs memorial 

served its purpose well. Time 

to move on. On the other hand, 

there’s nothing to stop the artist 

from displaying it on his own 

private property. 

Jan Wikaira – I love this 

memorial. It came first and from 

the heart and I would love to see 

it find a permanent place. 

Bronwyn Hendry – This 

is one of the most powerful 

installations I’ve seen in my life. 

I really hope it stays. It is an important 

part of history now. 

Ali Greening – This a place I 

go when I’m grieving the loss of 

people, lifestyle and opportunity. 

There is something here that recognises 

that sometimes life sucks, 

and we are forever affected by the 

loss of someone or something. 

Something that I do not find at 

the other memorial. Yes, it came 

from the earthquakes, but it is 

about so much more.

Health funding ‘botch-up’ 

hurts Canterbury patients 

JUST WHEN we 

thought things 

couldn’t get any 

more difficult for 

our underfunded 

Canterbury District 

Health Board they have been 

dealt a proverbial kick in the 

guts. 

A botch-up with the numbers 

in the National Government’s 

budget has resulted in an error 

in funding allocations nationally, 

meaning 14 district health boards 

were given too much money 

and would have to give up some 

of their funding to even out six 

DHBs that were short-changed. 

After initially being told how 

much money they’d receive, DHB 

leaders were then summoned to 

Wellington and told their Budget 

allocations will be changed. 

Canterbury is on the losing end 

of this maths and loses $2.69m in 

funding. 

To my mind, Minister of 

Health Jonathan Coleman has 

to front up and answer serious 

questions about how this gross 

error occurred. It’s fair to say Mr 

Coleman has egg on his face after 

a Budget that he’d rather forget. 

There is no doubt that staff made 

an error but I am old-fashioned 

when it comes to these matters 

– the buck stops fair and square 

with the minister. 

While this is embarrassing for 

the minister, the bigger impact 

is that some DHBs will have to 

make sharper cuts than expected. 

This affects patients directly. It 

means if you are waiting for a hip 

or a knee consultation or surgery, 

the uncertainty will continue. 

Critically, it also means that there 

is no much-needed additional 

funding here in Canterbury for 

our mental health services which 

are at crisis point. 

This mess adds insult to injury 

after a Budget that offered nothing 

new on mental health, failed 

to fund primary care adequately 

and allowed the funding shortfall 

under this Government’s watch 

to stretch out to a cumulative 

$2.3 billion. It’s clear that due to 

his mismanagement of health 

funding, there will be real losers 

across the country. After nine 

years, New Zealanders deserve 

better. It’s time for a fresh approach. 

•Megan Woods is Labour’s 

Canterbury spokeswoman 

What’s being done 

about Canterbury’s 

water quality? 

Look a little deeper at the 

action being taken to improve 

our precious water. 

This year, there are new requirements on farmers 

to limit the effects of farming on water quality. 

The majority of farmers are already doing the 

right thing, but more needs to be done to truly 

improve our precious water. 

We are working with farmers so that they know 

exactly what they need to do. It will take time 

for these improvements to have an effect on our 

water quality and quantity, but we’re off to a 

good start.

Our People 


Peter Majendie 

Artist makes bid to find new home 

Peter Majendie is trying 

to find a permanent 

location for his 185 

Empty Chairs. Bridget 

Rutherford spoke to him 

about creating a place 

for people to remember 

their loved ones and his 

stand-up comedy career 

So Peter, I see you are looking 

for a new home for your 

185 Empty Chairs. How is that 

going? 

Well, at the moment on our 

website you can vote for where 

you’d like to see the 185 chairs 

move to, like the CTV building 

site, the Botanic Gardens or 

Latimer Square. Latimer Square 

seems to be the most favoured 

place. We’ve been told it’s not 

moving to the CTV site. So I’m 

talking to the city council to see 

if there is somewhere they can go 

and what the future is for it. 

How long have you been looking 

for a new site? 

Our proposal to make it 

permanent was with CERA a 

good two years ago, because 

where it is now is earmarked for 

the new stadium. We’re there 

POIGNANT: Artist Peter Majendie says he painted the first of the 185 Empty Chairs for a grieving 

friend because he just had no clue what to say. 


for as long as the church meets 

on that site. It’s always been a 

temporary site. When we set it 

up, it was going to be up for three 

weeks. We did it for the first 

anniversary of the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

Why do you think they have 

remained for five years? 

When we put it up, I was pretty 

sure it would work. I think immediately 

it was pretty popular. 

It’s very open-ended and people 

could engage with it. Whenever 

we thought about taking it away, 

I’d get a lot of emails. As far as 

the chairs go, I can remember in 

the first few months meeting a 

young guy, he would have been 

about 12, and he’d bike to the 

chairs and he would sit there and 

chat to his mum. He needed a 

memorial then – not six years 

later. I think one of the things 

the chairs have done is transcended 

the earthquake. 

Where do the chairs come 

from? 

My closest friend lost a sonin-law 

in the earthquake, and 

I asked him if I could paint 

a chair. We bought chairs on 

Trade Me and a few places have 

donated chairs. Over the years, 

we’ve had working bees and 

people have brought chairs along 

to paint. I still get them from 

the Salvation Army and the 

EcoShop, I’m painting about 10 

at the moment. We’ve had very 

few thefts, the wheelchair was 

stolen, and we’ve had a little bit 

of damage through vandalism, 

but not much at all. It’s really the 

weather that breaks them down 

so we need to replace some. 

And speaking of the weather, 

I hear you have been chatting to 

Weta Workshop about making 

the chairs more permanent? 

We have cast one in aluminium 

to see how it would work. We 

went to Weta to get options of 

how we could make them more 

permanent, or make new ones. 

We could 3D print them.

for his 185 Empty Chairs memorial 

Where did you take your 

inspiration from? 

The 1995 Oklahoma bombing 

memorial is made up of chairs. I 

do speak on Vincent van Gogh 

– he painted chairs depicting 

personality – I think that was the 

strongest influence. I know some 

people have said they don’t want 

a chair to represent their loved 

one but the empty chair speaks 

of the absence of the person. 

And you mentioned your 

friend’s son-in-law died in the 

quake, did you know anyone 

else? 

Not well. I’d done quite a bit of 

art around town and I had been 

interviewed by CTV a number of 

times, so I did know people who 

worked there. 

Did that make the 185 Empty 

Chairs more personal for you? 

It was, especially my friend’s 

son-in-law. It’s been a privilege, 

I’ve met some wonderful people 

with amazing stories. People 

who help maintain the chairs 

feel they are actually doing 

something, because they are 

all hand-painted. One guy 

suffered serious injuries in the 

earthquake and it took him two 

hours to paint the wheelchair, 

and I think he found it quite 

MOVING: Peter Majendie created an installation at Sumner 

beach to mark the 100th anniversary of the withdrawal of 

troops from Gallipoli. 

therapeutic. No-one who was 

in a wheelchair was killed, but I 

know three people did finish up 

in wheelchairs. There were a few 

people who came along and it 

was their first time coming into 

town since the day of the quake. 

You must meet a lot of 

affected people there? 

Yes, because it’s so open-ended 

and an everyday object people 

can engage. Someone told me he 

remembered his son from the 

little baby carrier, through to 

the high chair, school chair, the 

swivel chair at work. And some 

people connect with just one 

chair. 

What other art work have you 

done in Christchurch? 

We used to do large-scale 

peace labyrinths in Latimer 

Square. They were very interactive. 

We also wrapped the 

orange tree for the launch of the 

Canterbury Community Trust’s 

$25 million earthquake fund. It 

was on the corner of Manchester 

St and Oxford Tce. We used hundreds 

of metres of fabric for that. 

And can you tell me a bit 

about Sidedoor Arts Trust, and 

what it’s all about? 

Sidedoor has run for about 14 

years. It came from a contemplative 

space that my wife Joyce and 

I created for people going out the 

back door of church to help connection 

and reflection. As for the 

chairs, a friend of mine has done 

his masters thesis around community 

homelessness. He interviewed 

a lot of homeless people 

in Christchurch and they were 

telling him the chairs for them 

are a sacred place. They would 

sit there and smoke and drink, 

and I have no problem with that, 

but they would never sleep there, 

it’s a set-apart space. In some 

sense, the Margaret Mahy Family 

Playground is a sacred space. 

It’s an absolute joy – I take my 

grandkids there. Those are the 

sort of things the city needs to 

give it some soul. That was one of 

the reasons we decided to push 

ahead with making the chairs 

permanent. 

On another note, I hear 

you’re also a bit of a stand-up 

comedian. Can you tell me 

about that? 

I did it on the tram and I’ve 

done stand-up in Auckland and 

overseas in the United States, 

United Kingdom and Australia. 

It revolves around the fact I’m 

deaf, my parents were deaf. I’ve 

had a couple of operations and 

have the most powerful hearing 

aids you can get and a pretty 

good phone. My parents went 

deaf in their 20s so I knew what 

it was like. I think in some ways 

that was quite influential on my 

art. We are so dependent on 

words, so through art I’m trying 

to say things visually. 

And what do you like to do in 

your spare time? 

I like my mountain biking. 

I’ve had some pretty spectacular 

crashes. And I have six grandkids 

who are a constant joy and 

I am quite involved with. Joyce 

and I are about to go with our 

youngest son, his wife and three 

kids to Paris and the UK. 

Sounds exciting, and did you 

grow up in Christchurch? 

I grew up in Brighton and 

I’ve always lived here. We’re in 

Heathcote now.

meet mE at merivale 

coogee, potts point, paddington, newport... 

sydney’s a foodies paradise! 

TRAVEL I 2 

Sydney needs little introduction. Chances 

are if you’ve visited Sydney a few times, you 

would have stuck mainly to the beaten track; 

shopping in the CBD, Bondi Junction and 

down Oxford Street; lunching in and around 

the harbour and at Wooloomooloo Wharf, 

maybe a surfing lesson on Bondi Beach or a 

day trip to Manly and the Northen beaches 

on the Ferry. While I’d happily spend every 

trip doing just this, there are unsurprisingly 

some pockets of amazingness to be found 

not too far away from these favourite haunts. 

A great way to venture in to some new 

Sydney neighbourhoods is to use the 

Merivale Group as a starting point. The 

hospitality superweights, established by the 

Hemmes family has a growing portfolio of 

more than 65 restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels 

and function spaces that are all spectacularly 

unique. It appears that they have the 

hospitality midas touch with all their venues, 

opening to steller reviews for both food and 

ambience. 

On the eastern side of Sydney, Merivale’s 

Coogee Pavilion is somewhere you can easily 

spend a day. Complete with petanque, giant 

magnetic scrabble, ping pong and an in-house 

theatrette, it’s a venue that ticks the boxes 

for every age. A market style food court 

concept inhabits the ground level, offering 

oysters to wood-fire pizza. On the rooftop 

the four indoor and outdoor bars, have huge 

balconies that boast wraparound views of the 

Coogee shoreline. 

Coogee is really Bondis little unappreciated 

sister. You’ll find a swim at the pictureque 

Whylie’s or McIver’s Baths, one of the few 

remaining womens only ocean pools, located 

on the rocks next to Coogee Beach, is right 

up there with Bondi’s Icebergs pool. Coogee 

carries a less pretentious air than its Bondi 

neighbours and has the added bonus of being 

either the start or finish of the popular Bondi 

to Coogee coastal walk.

Another infamous place many people visit 

in Sydney is Kings Cross. But step sideways 

a few metres and you’ll end up in Potts Point. 

Worlds apart in terms of sophistication and 

grandeur, here you’ll find the home to a 

growing number of Merivale’s restaurants. 

Behind a door bathed in pink neon on 

Victoria Street, you’ll find Ms G’s which is 

‘modern Asian’ and will be ‘unlike anything 

you’ve ever experienced before’. The graffiticovered 

walls, uber stylish lighting and jam jar 

decorated ceiling are hipster cool. The menu is 

exceptional too and mashes together the very 

best combination of Chinese to 

Vietnamamese, to Korean. 

While you’re in Potts Point if you’re 

interested in architecture, you may want to 

visit Elizabeth Bay House to appreciate the 

grand old architecture of yesteryear or visit 

Macleay St which has plenty of clothing 

boutiques. Potts Point is often referred to 

as the little France of Sydney, with beautiful 

tree-lined streets, art deco terrace houses and 

european styled cafes, you’re bound to spot 

plenty of expensive sports cars and lap dogs 

sitting pretty amongst the euro styled locals. 

You couldn’t mention Merivale without 

covering the Ivy complex in the CBD. Home 

to award-winning restaurants, Sydney’s only 

rooftop pool bar, numerous event spaces 

and leading fashion and lifestyle retailers, the 

Ivy ensures the perfect CBD outing starts in 

George street. 

While many of us won’t be wanting to don 

a bikini and head to the super glitzy pool club 

on the top floor, The Ivy’s Felix and Ash St. 

Cellar in comparison offer an oasis of relative 

maturity. 

Fred’s and Charlie’s Parkers, Merivale’s 

highly-anticipated Paddington venues, which 

opened towards the end of last year, are both 

venues worth visiting if you hit the Oxford 

Street shopping strip. 

31 kms north of the CBD on the 

stunning shores of Pittwater, another of Justin 

Hemme’s renovations, The Newport makes 

a great pitstop if you’re heading north on a 

day-trip to the stunning northern beaches of 

Avalon or Palm Beach. 

Boasting Australia’s largest outdoor waterfront 

beer garden, The Newport like all of the 

Merivale Groups ventures has multiple, 

eclectic, themed spaces to drink and dine in. 

With live music often playing and a ‘vintage 

gymnasium’ with badminton, exercise bikes 

that can charge mobile phones, ping pong 

tables, outdoor petanque and concrete table 

tennis courts, there’s no shortage of 

entertainment. 

Like the Coogee Pavilion, the Newport 

menu is based on a community market 

concept, where different food stalls feature 

everything from a grass-fed beef burger and 

fresh shucked oysters, to spit-roasted pork, 

fresh pastries and a pizzeria and salad bar too. 

As a word of warning, if you visit one of 

Merivale’s venues you’re sure to get hooked. 

And as you should always be prepared to pack 

an extra bag to fill with shopping on a trip to 

Sydney, once you’ve discovered the Merivale 

venus, also prepare to pack on a couple of kgs 

from sampling the incredible assortment of 

mouthwatering restaurants.

3 I LIFESTYLE 

art for everyone 

The Christchurch Art Show held it’s fourth consecutive show at The Events Centre, Wigram 

Air Force Museum of New Zealand in Christchurch from June 15 - 18. 

Described as a show with “art for everyone”, the Christchurch Art Show, over four days 

showcases works by New Zealand artists. At only $10 for entry in to the show it’s an 

inexpensive way to peruse artworks in a gallery meets tradeshow style setting. All artworks 

are for sale. 

A feature of this years event was the “biggest ever wall of art” measuring 21 metres long. 

The wall held a signature work of the top ten artists that the public voted they wanted to see 

return from the 2016 show. The 2017 top ten artists were; 

Joel Hart: Joel creates multi-dimensional, pop-culture inspired urban works, often 

incorporating women. 

Marie Kjestrup Adams: Marie uses bold brush strokes, line, colour and layering to create 

expressive, free flowing works capturing movement, flair and the excitement of every day life. 

Liz Turnbull: Liz’s works explore our landscape. She has a fascination with light, water and 

the outdoors and how our landscape’s mood can be changed by light alone. 

Odelle Morshuis: Recent pieces are paintings of figures framed with layers of engraved 

glass. 

Joe McMenamin: Joe’s flowing organic patterns that ripple through his works have won 

him a following throughout New Zealand. 

Jane Riley: Jane’s artworks depict the beauty she sees and interprets with tremendous 

energy, passion and flair, often incorporating textures of sand, gemstones, shells and other 

natural materials. 

Janyne Fletcher: Jayne is an Otago-based photographer who clearly knows the nuances of 

the region’s weather and land. 

Megan Huffadine: The objects and forms in her work are derived from the Central Otago 

locale. Seeds, remnants and discards are sketched from memory, scale is altered and then these 

are developed into new forms. 

Susan Hurrel Fieldes: Susan’s printmaking works are abstract and often focus on the 

solarplate, collagraph and drypoint methods. 

John Burns: John’s artwork is bold. Some have stories, some are crazy, gentle, mad, kind, 

thoughtful, different and thats a word I hear a lot about my art, and a word I like... to be 

different. 

If you haven’t been to the Art Show, you should definitely add it on to your 2018 ‘to-do’ list.

christchurch gets a little high 

it’s like going through the cupboard in to narnia. enter the doors to the little high eatery and 

you’ll feel like you’re in another world (or city at the very least!) 

CUISINE I 4 

If you’re looking for a new breakfast, lunch or dinner spot, The Little High Eatery is it. The 

newest addition to High Street is calling the old Mackenzie Willis building home. With an 

upmarket foodcourt/foodtruck concept, you can choose from eight different eateries; Bacon 

Brothers, A Mouse Called Bean, Eight Grains, Noodle Monk, Base Pizza, El Fogon Grill, Caribe 

Latin Kitchen and Sushi Soldier. 

Far from the standard mall-style foodcourt, the attention to detail at Little High is 

impeccable. Each of the eatery zones has it’s own distinctive decor, adding to the market feel. 

Caribe Latin Kitchen has a brightly tiled bar and eclectic mix of prints on the wall and Bacon 

Bros has the front of an old truck at the counter. 

The lighting is impressive with each eatery decked out with an ambience to match. Over 

at El Fogon the chunky rustic pendants are turned down low creating a very authentic Latin 

American grill feel, where in stark contrast over at Eight Grains the lights are up high, 

illuminating the minimilist Japanese kitchen. 

With over 40 craft beers from all around the world to choose from and sake, sangria and 

margaritas, you’ll be forgiven for popping back here time and time again to make your way 

through the drinks lists. 

The menus won’t disappoint either. Handed a buzzer upon ordering at each of the eatery 

counters, there are no rules as to how many diferent options your group samples. Many of the 

menu items are designed to be shared, making a perfect opportunity to sample a variety of the 

the mouthwatering dishes on offer. 

A spicy serving of Quesidillas at the Caribe Latin Kitchen washed down with a Dos Equis 

Lager was my pick. To be honest i’d be happy making this my go-to choice, was it not for the 

fact that evey plate that past my eyeline looked incredible. I’ve added the dumplings at Eight 

Grains and a bowl from Noodle Monk to my next visit wish-list, but I know that i’ll keep going 

back to make my way around the venue. 

For those still working in the CBD, a coffee from A Mouse Called Bean which used to be 

housed in the Re:Start Mall and a breakfast burger from Bacon Brothers would be a great pick. 

It’s so good that i’d even suggest heading in for a mid-afternoon snack. Maybe opt for 

somethig slightly left-field with a Japanese green tea ice cream or churros. 

It’s proving to be sublimly popular so finding a seat on the weekend can be a gamble, 

but with long opening hours (from 7am-10pm Sunday-Wednesday and open until midnight 

Thursday-Saturday) you’re not restricted to head for just lunch or dinner. Being able to park in 

the Wilsons carpark right outside the front door adds to the appeal too. 

At this stage until the new venue buzz dies down a little I wouldn’t suggest turning up with a 

big group. It’s easier to jump on the end of one of the longer shared tables or bar leaners than 

secure a table or booth during peak feeding times.

classes and green prescription exercise classes. 

FALLS are not a normal part of ageing and many falls can be prevented. 

FALLS are the most common injury in older people. 

Falls by older people are usually due to poor balance and weakened leg muscles. 

* Women are one and half times more likely to fall than men. 

* ½ of all people over 80 years fall each year & 1/3 aged over 65 years will fall. 

* Many falls and subsequent broken bones can be prevented. 

* Many of these broken bones have life changing and life threatening results. 

Ask your Doctor about Canterbury’s Falls Prevention Service, Steady as you go, exercise 

classes and green prescription exercise classes. These are all designed to build up your muscle 

strength and improve your balance. Walking and all other exercise that you do on your feet is 

good for muscle strength. Half an hour at least three times a week is beneficial. 

If you are over 50 years and have broken a bone as a result of a bump or minor fall talk to 

your Doctor about osteoporosis or contact your local Osteoporosis Society for more 

information, Trish at trish.adams200@gmail.com 

The Osteoporosis Society of Canterbury Inc. have their AGM on Wednesday July 12th at the 

YMCA Hereford Street at 2-30pm. There will be falls prevention specialists to give advice and 

help.

mulled wine 

mulled wine is one of the seasonal sTAPLES we can’t get enough of. The key to its success is 

using some quality ingredients (stay away from the casked wine!) 

INGREDIENTS 

1 bottle of full-bodied wine (Shiraz, Merlot 

or Malbec work well) 

1 vanilla pod 

1 large orange 

1 large lemon 

1 teaspoon cloves 

4 star anise 

5 cracked cardamom pods 

2 cinnamon quills broken in halves 

1 teaspoon whole green or black peppercorns 

10g grated ginger 

1 bay leaf 

¼ of a whole nutmeg, grated 

Brown sugar, to taste 

100ml water

DIRECTIONS 

1. Combine all spices in a pot. Heat on high until small wisps of smoke rise and the aroma 

floats up into your nose. 

2. Add the water and continue to heat until the mixture begins to look like tea. 

3. Turn the heat down, add wine, and give a quick stir. 

4. Squeeze the juice of the orange and lemon into mixture, adding the remainder the fruit 

as well. Heat until hot, but not boiling. 

5. Add sugar. Be sure to taste so you don’t sweeten too much. Once you’ve reached your 

desired sweetness, leave to infuse on a low heat for 10-15 minutes. 

6. Strain solids, and then add back to pot to keep warm. 

7. Decant wine into preferred vessel and enjoy!

what is important to you? 

It is interesting what people perceive as important beauty/appearance items when asked 

to name the three items they couldn’t do without if told they were going to a desert island 

indefinitely. 

A cross section of males and females ranging from 52 to 95 years old were asked the 

question. 

Oddly only one person asked if they would be there on their own. Their replies follow: 

Elizabeth - 68 

Coconut oil - It can be used internally and externally, hair brush, nail scissors. 

LAW / BEAUTY I 6 

Francis - 73 

Sunglasses, hairbrush, nail file. 

Susie - 63 

Moisturiser with sunscreen, mouthwash and lip gloss (Chanel Exotique no 12) 

Jo - 75 

Magnifying mirror, tweezers and sunscreen. 

Go ask your friends. 

It can lead to an 

interesting 

discussion! 

JoAN - 95 

Dior foundation, Oil of Olay moisturiser and a ‘good’ lipstick. 

ANNA - 59 & SARA - 62 

Oddly two sisters Anna and Sara both chose identical items: moisturiser with sunscreen - 

particularly for the lips, smudgy charcoal eye pencil and mouth wash. 

Philip - 69 

A huge cake of soap, piksters for cleaning my teeth and an endless supply of mouth wash. 

Pene - 52 

Scissors, mirror, scrubbing brush. 

Mike - 66 

A toothbrush so my teeth aren’t caked in raw fish, moisturiser to keep sun and salted skin 

from going wrinkly and a comfy pillow so I get my beauty sleep. 

JOHN - 82 

The biggest, thickest supply of loo paper, Laphroaig mouth wash, (for those in the dark, 

this is actually single malt whiskey and a hairbrush.) 

CAPACITY 

WORDS FLEUR MCDONALD 

As lawyers, we are required to meet with 

our clients and take their instructions in 

order to help them complete the particular 

legal task(s) they are planning. Sometimes 

when we do this, we need to take a little 

extra time to consider our clients legal or 

mental capacity to make decisions. 

Mental or legal capacity is a client’s capacity 

to make a decision. Decision making requires 

that a client: 

• understands the decision they are 

having to make 

• can discuss with us the possible 

options available to them in a way that 

shows they appreciate the risk and or 

benefit of those options 

• understands the impact that a decision, 

or the lack of a decision, may have on 

them or their loved ones 

• is able to articulate and discuss all of 

the above with us. 

It is important to note that the level of 

capacity required isn’t the same in every 

situation. For example, to make a Will the 

test is whether the client knows they are 

making a Will and the effect of doing so, 

whether they understand the extent of 

the assets they are dealing with and finally, 

whether they comprehend the moral claims 

which they ought to give effect to. 

However, when giving instructions to 

complete Enduring Powers of Attorney the 

test is whether the client understands the 

consequences of granting a power of attorney 

and the nature and effect of the power they 

are giving. This is the test even in a situation 

where the client is no longer capable of 

managing their own affairs. 

Having these discussions with our clients 

is difficult. It can be very confronting, both 

for our clients and for us. In a worst case 

scenario, our clients can be very offended by 

us questioning their capacity. This is not our 

intention. Our intention is to ensure that 

the legal outcome our clients have set out to 

achieve, has the best possible opportunity to 

succeed. 

We are aware however that if there is a 

likelihood that our client’s decision might be 

challenged, one of the first questions that 

may be raised is whether our client had the 

capacity required to make the decision in the 

first place. 

The best way of mitigating this risk may be 

for our clients to undertake a capacity 

assessment prior to completing their 

legal work. It is best that the assessment be 

scheduled as close as possible to the 

appointment to complete the legal work 

they are contemplated. It is important for 

us to write to our client’s doctor to explain 

to them the background of the situation, the 

legal test that is at issue and to request a 

detailed report regarding our client’s capacity 

to make the decision in question. 

For the reasons discussed above, if you have 

concerns about your capacity or the 

capacity of a loved one, it is critical that you 

obtain advice from a team well versed in 

dealing with these matters. At Harmans we 

have a specialist seniors team to help you 

with any queries you may have. Contact Fleur 

McDonald on 352-2293 to arrange an 

appointment to discuss your situation.

As we age the hair on our bodies becomes 

lighter and sparser, making it even more 

important to maintain our brows. 

A well-shaped brow gives a look of 

confidence and really balances the face and 

frames the eyes. It’s also said that eyebrows 

play the most important role in creating the 

facial symmetry that makes a person look 

attractive. 

There have been many trends with 

eyebrow shapes and colour, but natural and 

full eyebrows will never go out of style. 

If you haven’t got a naturally full brow 

or you’ve had a long history of tweezering, 

there’s still hope. There are a few products 

that actually help to repair damaged 

eyebrows or create an illusion of thicker 

brows and in recent years specialty eyebrow 

bars have popped up, offering expert advice 

and techniques. 

To get the low-down on what we should 

be doing with our brows, Kim Mchugh, Brow 

Artist and Founder of The Eyebrow Bar on 

Colombo Street gave us the answers; 

1> I’ve tweezed my eyebrows to 

death over the years, is there anything 

that can be done? 

Firstly (and most importantly), step away 

from the tweezers! A daunting concept but 

totally necessary to give yourself the best 

chance of rekindling the ‘Brow Love’. 

Secondly, book an appointment with me 

and I can recommend a plan to get your 

brows back on track. 

It’s advised to not remove any hairs for at 

least 4 - 8 weeks prior to your appointment, 

that way I can see what growth is coming 

back and which areas need TLC. 

A ‘Custom Colour Brow Tint’ can be a 

real savior. It can reveal a fuller, more defined 

brow literally in a matter of seconds in some 

cases. It’s also great for giving the brows more 

depth and helps to disguise the greys. 

There are some fantastic results-based, 

growth enhancing serums that are 

especially formulated to encourage the 

growth in patchy areas. Come and see me to 

have a chat as they’re not suitable for 

everyone... if the damage has been done 

and the follicle is dead, it won’t encourage 

any more growth but it may help to prevent 

future hair loss. 

If you’re not keen on a chemical based 

product then I also recommend trying 

Castor Oil or Organic Coconut oil. In my 

experience, applying this to the brow area 

can also help stimulate new growth and give a 

lovely glossy finish to the hairs. 

Time is also key - be patient. In my 

experience, it can take anywhere from 4 

months - 18 months for the completion of 

your new ‘Bangin’ Brows’. If you’ve tried all of 

the above but to no avail, then Microblading 

is for you. 

Be very careful when you choose your 

Microblading technician, it’s paramount that 

you do your research and always choose a 

qualified and experienced practitioner who 

has a solid background in brows. I can’t stress 

that point enough! 

2> Can you tell us what your eyebrow 

revolution treatment entails? 

The Eyebrow Revolution is my most 

popular treatment. 

It starts with a consultation - we have a 

chat about your concerns and see what we 

can do to achieve your brow goals. 

A brow tint and shape is then performed 

and brow cosmetics are applied to give them 

a flattering finish. 

3> Who do you consider to have 

perfect brows? 

I absolutely adore Cara Delevingne’s brows. 

They’re naturally amazing and have that 

untouched look which is my favourite. 

4> What are we aiming for with our 

brows.....there seem to be a lot of full 

browed girls around at the moment? 

I’m a fan of natural looking brows. My 

advice to the readers is this; embrace your 

natural shape as natural never goes out of 

fashion. 

Also, invest in a specialised brow treatment, 

it’s well worth it.

LIFESTYLE / FITNESS I 8 

On pointe 

want a ballerina style pyhsique like 

natalie portman in the black swan....then give 

barre fitness a twirl. 

Has anyone asked you to try barre 

fitness? While barre has origins in dance, 

the rhythmically challenged shouldn’t 

worry. Most barre classes follow the same 

basic structure. You’ll most likely start with 

a warm-up, then move in to some planking 

and push-ups, do a series of arm exercises 

(sometimes with hand weights), and then 

continue at the bar with a lower-body 

section to work your bigger muscles like the 

quads, glutes and calves. You’ll also put your 

core to action with a series of either bar or 

mat based exercises. A class will finish off 

with some relaxation and stretching. 

The isometric contractions that make up 

the bulk of a barre class occur when the 

muscle tenses without changing length. 

Isometric exercise is a great way to maintain 

muscle strength. 

If you’re wanting to sculpt a leaner longerlooking 

and more graceful physique aka 

Natalie Portman in Black Swan then here 

we breakdown the different types of Barre 

training for you. 

TYPES OF BARRE: 

BARRE3 

Ballet meets yoga and pilates 

Using a yoga mat, ball and ballet barre. 

PURE BARRE 

Similar to Barre3 but with a cardio kick. 

Ball, ballet barre and hand weights. 

BOOTY BARRE 

Created by celebrity fitness instructor 

Tracey Mallett. 

Ball, ballet barre and resistance bar. 

THE KEY BENEFITS ARE: 

• toned arms and back 

• sculpted thighs and lifted seat 

• strong, flat abdomen 

• firm elongated muscles 

• improvement in your coordination 

• increased flexibility and posture including 

improvement in your overall postural 

alignment 

• strength and endurance 

• increase in energy and body awareness 

Lyndal Woodham brought Bootybarre to New Zealand, back in 2013 and in 2015 

she had the honour of becoming the NZ Master Trainer for Bootybarre, enabling 

her to grow the brand in New Zealand. Created by celebrity trainer Tracey Mallett in 

2009, it’s now taught in 25 different countries. Lyndal has since set up the On Pointe 

Studio where she teaches classes for all ages and fitness levels. 

Barre fitness stems from the exercises ballet dancers use to keep fit and 

trim. Can you tell us how your bootybarre differs? What are the key health/ 

mind benefits of attending your classes? 

Bootybarre is a fusion fitness of Pilates, Yoga and Dance, you don’t have to be an 

expert or have any previous experience. We use the barre for support and resistance 

and it helps with our balance. Its about coming and moving your body and creating 

long lean muscles. In our classes we focus on small muscles groups, creating awareness 

of these areas and how to engage and contract them efficiently to get the best benefit 

from the class. Its all done to fun upbeat music, boutique class sizes and in a 

comfortable inviting environment. 

For the over 50’s (and those who don’t lean towards being ballerina-like) 

is On Pointe still a good place to head? And what would be the best class to 

start with? 

Age is only a number and this workout is for anyone, both male and female. We have 

a beginner barre class on Saturday mornings 8am which is always a great place to start 

so you can get a feel for the class and the flow of it. From there you’ll go one of two 

way - realise you love our little cardio blasts or not! So we have Bootybarre Plus which 

incorporates cardio blasts to get the heart rate up or we have our flex & flow / Sculpt 

classes where we have therabands attached to the barre and we use these throughout, 

ditch the cardio and enjoy a nice long stretch at the end. You don’t have to have been a 

ballerina in a previous life to come and enjoy the class, we encourage you to take things 

as hard as you want, we give plenty of modifications and variations so each individual 

can take the workout to their desired level. Its not about comparing yourself to the the 

person next to you. Its about you getting the most of your own workout and walking 

out of the room feeling a little taller, toner and sore in all the right places.

CAN WE let the bath do the running? 

Research published in the Journal of 

Temperature found that an hour-long soak in 

hot water produced similar anti-inflammatory 

and blood sugar responses as 60 minutes of 

moderate physical activity. 

“It seems that activities that increase heat 

shock proteins may help to improve blood 

sugar control and offer an alternative to 

exercise,” lead study author Steve Faulkner 

from Loughborough University wrote. “These 

activities -such as soaking in a hot tub or 

taking a sauna - may have health benefits for 

people who are unable to exercise regularly.” 

It’s critical to point out a few limitations of 

the study. For starters, the experiment only 

monitored men, so it’s difficult to say if the 

same effect would happen in women. It also 

only included 14 volunteers, which is an 

extremely small sample size. More research 

needs to be conducted before scientists 

can come to any official conclusion. And, of 

course, you should still continue to exercise 

regularly. 

That being said, the study does offer some 

more promising insight into the healing 

effects of hot water. The science of hot baths 

is seemingly only delivering good news!

Bottle Lake is a great place to find varied and 

fun mountain biking. You can spend a couple of 

hours going around with the kids, or go hard 

for a 45 minute workout. At the halfway point 

you can also reward yourself with a coffee or

down over farm land and through a small 

plantaion before coming out at the Halswell 

Quarry. Apart from a small up hill section, it is 

all fast down hill, single track. 

HALSWELL QUARRY TO THE START OF 

THE CROCODILE - 15 - 20 MINUTES 

Why should you get back on your bike 

as you get older? 

1. It’s easy on the joints. 

When you sit on a bike, you put your weight 

on a pair of bones in the pelvis called the 

ischial tuberosities, unlike walking, when you 

put your weight on your legs. 

2. It’s a great aerobic workout. 

Aerobic exercise also triggers the release of 

endorphins, the body’s feel-good chemicals— 

which may make you feel young at heart. 

3. You’ll build up muscle. 

As you get older, you lose muscle mass. 

Keeping your body fit starts with simply riding 

your bike often, While your buttocks and legs 

are the obvious muscles being put to work, 

you’ll also use abdominal muscles to balance 

and stay upright and to a smaller degree your 

arms by holding on. 

4. Pedaling builds bone. 

Resistance activities, such as pushing pedals, 

pull on the muscles, and then the muscles pull 

on the bone, which increases bone density. 

5. It’s great for your wellbeing. 

Even half an hour of daily exercise has been 

observed to improve people’s subjective 

mood and well-being!

Christchurch Heart Institute and the Heart Foundation 

First to Work with Cardiovascular Charity Partnership 

Ryman residents and staff raise $330,000 for heart research 

The Christchurch Heart Institute is 

working alongside the Heart Foundation as 

part of an innovative approach to 

cardiovascular disease (CVD) research, 

following a significant donation of $330,000 

from Ryman Healthcare received on the 31 

May 2017. 

The 2016-17 charity partnership between 

Ryman Healthcare and the Heart Foundation, 

which has funded the Heart Foundation 

Clinical Fellowship, will support a clinical 

research study, looking into the scope and 

make-up of cardiovascular disease in residents 

of Ryman Healthcare facilities. 

Associate Professor, Chris Pemberton, of 

the Christchurch Heart Institute, based at the 

University of Otago, Christchurch, is behind 

the idea to run the study which will provide 

a clearer picture about the CVD risk in New 

Zealand’s retirement healthcare sector. 

“It is exciting to be working with the Heart 

Foundation, who have informed residents of 

Ryman Healthcare facilities about the study, 

laying the foundation for the project to 

proceed. Ryman residents who volunteer 

to take part in the study, will benefit from 

increased awareness of their overall health and 

any cardiovascular risk. The information we 

gather at the Christchurch villages and 

others around the country will be used to 

raise the standard of cardiovascular care in 

New Zealand,” he said. 

The study will begin at Ryman retirement 

villages in Christchurch, and gradually roll-out 

across the country, which is something 

Pemberton is looking forward to. 

“We want to get going in 2017, firstly 

putting systems in place, with a view to starting 

the first of the studies later this year.” 

The Christchurch Heart Institute, a 

University of Otago Research Centre, is 

renowned globally for their contribution to 

CVD research. In particular, the discoveries 

of blood hormones associated with heart 

disease which have led to specific blood tests 

for heart issues, now being used routinely in 

clinics all around the world. 

“This project is aimed at taking what we 

know in a hospital setting and applying that 

knowledge in the primary health sector. 

Leading to better management of 

cardiovascular disease, before hospital 

admission becomes necessary.” 

Heart Foundation Chief Executive, Tony 

Duncan, is delighted to have been part of the 

Ryman Healthcare charity partnership for 

2016-17. He believes Ryman’s donation will 

undoubtedly support many people in the aged 

care sector who are impacted by heart 

disease, which is New Zealand’s biggest killer. 

“Given the high incidences of heart disease 

in the aged care sector, this will make a 

significant contribution to the management of 

heart disease among the aged.” 

Ryman Managing Director Simon Challies 

said heart health had been a popular cause. 

Over the past 12 months the Ryman family 

has been busy with knitting, barbecues, art 

shows, raffles and head shaves to raise as 

much as possible for the Heart Foundation. 

“We all know what a great job the Heart 

Foundation does and it has been a popular 

charity with residents. We’ve had a record 

year for fundraising with residents and staff 

participating in a whole lot of fundraisers. 

They’re big-hearted people – if you’ll excuse 

the pun – and we are delighted to match their 

fund-raising dollar-for-dollar. The $330,000 

raised is a new record for Ryman.’’

‘right size’ not necessarily ‘downsize’ 

do not downsize your dreams, but do carefully consider getting a puppy or purchasing a big 

old house in your later years! 

As we get older, it’s no surprise that we find ourselves “downsizing” in many different ways. 

One of which might be getting a newer or smaller house, a more managable garden or a smaller 

dog. It’s a very common phenomenon as we enter the golden years. 

But it might not be so much about ‘downsizing’ the square metres of your house or the kgs 

of your dog that matter to you most, but more the location of the property relative to family 

and ammenties and the exercise requirements of your breed of dog. Over 50 it’s all about 

finding the right size for you. 

The trend toward pint-size pooches has been well documented since 2000 but has 

accelerated in recent years, in part because of an aging population of baby boomers. For many 

people who have had labradors their whole live, they might consider a miniture labradoodle 

which is a lot smaller and doesn’t require quite so much exercise, yet is similar in temprament. 

A dog’s energy levels and temperament can be just as important as it’s size. Do you have the 

energy to deal with a puppy who wants to destroy every shoe in sight? Adopting a pet from the 

SPCA is a great way to find a new companion without having to put yourself through the puppy 

faze. When you go in to the SPCA to meet their adoptees, they take the time to find out a little 

about you, your lifestyle, your property and your experience with animals. They’ll also offer 

advice, to help ensure you find the perfect companion to suit your needs. 

It’s also worth considering that many multi-units and assisted-living communities have size 

restrictions, which make it difficult to bring larger breeds with you if you need or want to move. 

Going hand-in-hand with what animals you should consider when you hit your later years 

come decisions about property. 

Laurie Sutton of Ray White says, “In my experience, ‘mature’ downsizers generally choose 

location based on being close to family, especially if there are grandkids, friends, work or 

lifestyle. Some may like the facilities of some of the new sub divisions like Pegasus or 

Clearwater, but I think the other factors take priority. The newer areas do offer the advantages 

of all the mod cons, plus good insulation and double glazing, not to mention EC safety, all of 

which would be desirable, particularly for an older person.” 

New homes being built today are often built smarter than the sprawling homes of the past. 

The better design that usually comes with 21st century living means smaller homes can feel just 

as spacious. By moving to a smaller place, the obvious benefits such as lower monthly 

electricity bills, contents insurance and house maintenance are reduced. There’s also a benifit in 

moving to an area that has a sense of community, where you can get to know the neighbours, 

rather than isolation and privacy. 

In terms of desirable features, Laurie would suggest looking for “single story, with a low 

maintenance garden, proximity to amenities, including healthcare and proximity to public 

transport as key. Safe neighbourhoods, security, and good parking, ideally an internal access 

EXERCISE THE MIND 

garage are all important. Schools zones, which can add value to some suburbs would be less 

important, but might be factored in when considering resale value. Many of the smaller homes 

today are on cross leases or unit titles, which a lot of buyers shun, but because of that they are 

often more affordable, and shouldn’t necessarily be overlooked. As long as the solicitor goes 

over it, I personally don’t see the downside and I own a cross leased home myself.” 

Future proofing should also be a consideration when looking for a new home. Will the 

owner be likely to need to make the home handicap friendly in the future? Likewise, health 

and safety should be considered. Are there any tripping hazards or other potential risks? “We 

sold a small home recently that was subject to approval from the buyers physio that ramps and 

handrails could be adequately installed, for instance.” 

While it’s important not to downsize your dreams in terms of house or pet, it’s important

coffee table books to add to your collection 

what do your coffee table books say about you? 

Les Dîners De Gala by Salvador Dalí 

Available from Book Depository 

In the Company of Women 

Available from Collected 

Let’s face it: the coffee table book is not just a book; it’s an item designed to showcase a 

little snapshot in to the owners interests. It’s always intriguing to see what kind of books 

people put out on their coffee table. Are they arty books or travel based? Do they look like 

they’ve been well read or are they just there for show? Coffee table books are now often 

used by interior stylists to instantly transform a surface by adding some pops of colour and 

a little sophistication to your home. 

The 1970s cookbook that surrealist painter Salvador Dalí created with his wife Gala is 

unsurprisingly bonkers, featuring 136 recipes with dreamlike illustrations by the artist, and 

including a chapter specifically dedicated to aphrodisiacs. 

In the Company of Women features profiles of a broad cross-section of more than 100 

inspiring, creative, successful women – from Rookie editor Tavi Gevinson to Thelma Golden, 

director and chief curator of New York’s The Studio Museum. 

Another slightly odd, definitely intriguing choice, Women in Trees is edited by a woman 

named Jochen Raiss, who has been collecting amateur photographs of women in trees from 

flea markets for around a quarter of a century. Weird and wonderful, this strangely touching 

book has captured moments of pure happiness enjoyed by unknown women from the 

1920s to the 1950s. 

The Sharks coffee book would be one to add to the table for pure shock factor, the large 

scale images taken by Michael Muller literally jump off the pages!

tears we cannot stop: A SERMON TO WHITE AMERICA 

In his 2016 New York Times op-ed piece 

“Death in Black and White,” Michael Eric 

Dyson moved a nation. Now he continues 

to share his views in Tears We Cannot Stop. 

Dyson makes it clear to readers that he wants 

more than guilt, he wants action and change. 

He wants readers to wake up to “what it 

means to be black in America”, and actually do 

something about racism. 

Like any book dealing with deep issues such 

as race, this book is sure to ruffle some 

feathers, make more than a few wince and 

really anger others. Nothing is sugar coated. 

At just 228 pages, it’s anything but a quick 

read. Yes, there’s controversy in Dyson’s views 

but it will also open a lot of eyes. 

“One of the most frank and searing discussions on race ... a deeply serious, urgent book, which 

should take its place in the tradition of Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and King’s Why We Can’t Wait.” 

-The New York Times Book Review 

“Readers will find searing moments in Tears We Cannot Stop, when Dyson’s words proves unforgettable...But 

more than education, Dyson wants a reckoning.” —The Washington Post 

“Here’s a sermon that’s as fierce as it is lucid. It shook me up, but in a good way. This is how it works 

if you’re black in America, this is what happens, and this is how it feels. If you’re black, you’ll feel a 

spark of recognition in every paragraph. If you’re white, Dyson tells you what you need to know— 

what this white man needed to know, at least. This is a major achievement. I read it and said amen.” 

—Stephen King 

“Impassioned.” —Library Journal 

AN EXCERPT: On the invention of 

Whiteness: 

“Beloved, let me start by telling you an ugly 

secret: there is no such thing as white people. 

And yet so many of them, so many of you, 

exist. Please hear me out. I know you’re flesh 

and blood. I know that you use language and 

forks and knives. I’m not talking about your 

bodies or your garages or your grocery stores. 

I’m talking about the politics of whiteness. I’m 

talking about an identity that exists apart from 

the skin you’re born in. I’m talking about a 

meaning of race that supersedes the features 

you inherit when you come out of the womb. 

You don’t get whiteness from your genes. It is 

a social inheritance that is passed on to you as 

a member of a particular group. 

And it’s killing us, and, quiet as it’s kept, it’s 

killing you too. 

Race has no meaning outside of the cultures 

we live in and the worlds we fashion out of its 

force and energy. Whiteness is an advantage 

and privilege because you have made it so, not 

because the universe demands it. 

So I want to tell you right off the bat that 

whiteness is made up, and that white history 

disguised as American history is a fantasy, as 

much a fantasy as white superiority and white 

purity. Those are all myths. They’re intellectual 

rubbish, cultural garbage. The quicker you 

accept that, the better off you’ll be, and so will 

the rest of us. 

My friends, I know reading this frightens 

many of you. It may even anger you. Please 

bear with me. Until you make whiteness give 

up its secrets none of us will get very far. 

Whiteness has privilege and power connected 

to it, no matter how poor you are. Of course 

the paradox is that even though whiteness is 

not real it is still true. I mean true as a force 

to be reckoned with. It is true because it has 

the power to make us believe it is real and to 

punish those who doubt its magic. 

Whiteness is slick and endlessly inventive. It 

is most effective when it makes itself invisible, 

when it appears neutral, human, American.”

CONFIGURATION Four-cylinder, 

front-wheel-drive, 1242cc, 66kW,

FUEL USAGE 4.9l/100km 

It’s not easy making a small car look stylish. 

However, Suzuki is the master at it, take their 

recent models – Celerio, Baleno and just 

recently, the Ignis, they are all trendy, funky 

models which relate to a large cross-section 

of car buyers. 

The Ignis is brand-spanking new and is 

dubbed by Suzuki as a small sport utility 

vehicle. That sums it up well, it has the looks 

of a SUV, but at just 3700mm it is squat and 

will appeal to those who like easy entry and 

exit along with a tallish driving position and, 

of course, a budget price. The newcomer 

starts at just $18,990, automatic transmission 

will add $1510, while the Limited variant, as 

tested, sits at $22,500, although if you want 

two-tone paint that’s an additional $490. 

Interestingly, the Ignis in Limited form is just 

a four-seater, there are only two seat-belts 

in the rear and the configuration lends itself 

SMALL & SPORTY 

WORDS ROSS KIDDIE 

more to adaptable load carrying options. 

However, there are Isofix child seat tethers 

for those who have young ones in tow. If you 

want to seat three across the rear, the entrylevel 

GLX is a five-seater, albeit it would be 

tight widthwise for adults. 

The Ignis is also a car which lends itself to 

sporty appeal. Sure, it’s not a rocket ship, but 

with the way it can be dressed and optioned it 

has specification and features which will make 

it stand out even more amongst others. 

Under the bonnet is a 1.2-litre, fourcylinder 

engine and it is engineered for 

economy along with respectable power outputs. 

Suzuki rate it with a 66kW and 120Nm 

outputs, even though torque peaks tallish in 

the rev band (4400rpm), the engine works 

freely thanks to the matching of it to a 

continuously variable automatic transmission. 

According to Suzuki’s advertising material, 

the Ignis will return a 4.9-litre per 100km 

(57mpg) combined cycle fuel usage average. 

In my opinion that would be quite achievable, 

during evaluation time the trip computer was 

constantly showing 6.9l/100km (41mpg) with 

a 5l/100km (56mpg) figure cruising quietly at 

100km/h, the engine turning over slowly at just 

2000rpm in the tallest part of the gearing. 

It has taken me a long time to warm to CVT 

transmissions, but today’s units are so normal, 

the Ignis works through the gearing much like 

a traditional automatic. There’s even a sport 

mode which will hasten engine revolutions 

should the driver decide a little bit of extra 

oomph is needed, say for a highway overtake. 

In terms of performance, that can be 

achieved in around 7.5sec, while a standstill to 

100km/h time of 10.9sec is not to be sneezed 

at. 

The engine is a willing worker and charms 

with its quiet operating manner and lively 

response – that’s another bonus of CVT, the 

engine works unimpeded through the 

transmission. 

The Ignis sits on a new platform and, 

although it isn’t sophisticated, it has been 

designed as a weight-saving structure along 

with a suspension set-up that will allow for 

controlled balance when the corners arrive. 

Even though rear wheel freedom is 

hampered a little by a torsion beam tube 

axle, there is just enough movement so that 

mid-corner bumps and ruts don’t upset body 

balance nor directional stability. 

MOTORING I 12 

At almost 1.5m, the Ignis is quite tall, and 

body movement over softish spring and 

damper settings is noticeable. However, 

steerage is unaffected and directional accuracy 

is quite sharp. I’d like to have a little more 

steering feel through the wheel, but in this 

modern age of electric power steering systems 

most mainstream cars get a light, as opposed 

to a firm feel. 

Providing the grip are high quality 16in 

Bridgestone tyres, even though their footprint 

is small at 175/60, there is an underlying feeling 

of grip and control, and for that reason the 

Ignis feels quite athletic, which considering its 

simplicity underneath, is commendable. 

In Limited form the Ignis is comprehensively 

equipped. All models represent value for price, 

but there are a few goodies in the Limited 

which you may not expect in a car for this 

price such as satellite navigation, Apple Car Play 

and Android Auto, keyless entry and ignition, 

cruise control with speed limiter, and digitally 

controlled air conditioning, just to name some 

of the major items. It also has a high safety 

specification. 

Even though it is marketed as a sport utility 

vehicle, it must be remembered the Ignis is 

two-wheel-drive (front) only and it isn’t 

engineered for life off-road. 

However, if you are after a car which is just 

a little out of the ordinary with interesting 

internal shapes and colours, and an exterior 

look which is standalone, then the Ignis is the 

car for you.

ADVICE with 

$80 

PRIZE 

PACK! 

QUESTION 

In March last year I planted Escallonia Apple Blossom shrubs which are growing 

nicely into a compact and pretty hedge. Recently we’ve been advised that due to the 

quakes, our sewer pipes will have to be dug up and replaced. This means either 

having the shrubs trampled or removing them. Can I uproot the shrubs and place them elsewhere, perhaps in 

tubs while the repairs are carried out, and then replant them? They are just gaining strength and coming away 

nicely and I’m reluctant to disturb their growth. 

Today’s winning question came from Sue Barker. Congratulations! 

Escallonia can be 

ANSWER transplanted quite easily 

compared to many other 

shrubs. We would suggest cutting back any new 

growth before transplanting, and carrying out the 

process during the winter months. The plants can 

either be placed in large containers or into your 

veggie garden temporarily. Ensure plants are 

kept moist throughout the process but do not 

over water as this can rot young roots. With 

this species, it is better to be a little drier than 

over wet. 

When you are ready to replant them back into their 

original spot, add plenty of Daltons Compost 

to give them the best start and add a layer of 

mulch on top. After replanting, allow time for the 

plants to settle (up to two weeks) before applying 

a side dressing of Daltons Premium Tree & 

Shrub Fertiliser in spring. 

For more gardening advice, read 

our How to Grow Fruit Trees guide at 

www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides 

Roses provide lush fl owers, delicious scents and add charm to any 

garden. June and July are the best months to plant, relocate and prune 

roses (once dormant). When choosing the perfect plant for your garden 

or pots, choose from; Old Fashioned, Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Shrub or 

Climber varieties.

SELECTION: Seafood for sale at the Tsukiji Market. 

ON ARRIVAL in Tokyo, I 

was looking for a sure-fire 

way to blitz the jet-lag. 

The sensory onslaught 

of Tsukiji Market fitted the 

bill perfectly, as I revelled in 

the colour, the cacophony 

and organised chaos of 

the world’s largest seafood 

market. 

Spanning the size of 430 

rugby fields, the market 

metrics are gob-smacking. 

It’s the stomping ground for 

50,000 workers, where over 

1700 stalls sell 2000-tonnes 

of seafood daily, in 480 

varieties. This grand encounter 

with the kitchen of 

Japan groans with polystyrene 

crates proudly splayed 

with every marketable sea 

creature – including whale 

meat. 

Fancy watching the daily 

Tuna Auction? You’ll need 

to get here at the ungodly 

hour of 3am, to score a visitor’s 

slot in the tuna auction 

room. The dealing is all 

done by 6.30am. 

Humming with postauction 

activity, later in 

the morning, a veritable 

army of workers hauled 

freshly sold fish on forklifts, 

hand-carts and “turret 

trucks”, like speed-freak 

bees in a choreographed 

hive. I gazed in awe of hulking 

blue-fin tuna the size of 

refrigerators. 

Half of Tokyo seemed to 

be out sampling and shopping. 

It’s a riveting introduction 

to the core ingredients 

in Japanese cuisine 

and the ebullient vendors 

happily hand-out free tastings. 

I grazed on seaweed, 

benito shavings, dumplings 

in soybean flour, smoked 

fish and kimchee squid. 

Best of all, Tsukiji’s quintessential 

sushi restaurants 

offer the freshest raw fish 

fix possible. My tour group 

headed for Sushi Daiwa, 

situated next to Sushi Dai, 

which are the two famous 

sushi houses. Their pilgrimage-like 

pulling power 

means you may well find 

yourself queuing outside for 

several hours. We lucked in, 

with only a 15min wait. 

Although they staff are 

too polite to say so, you are 

expected to eat and run 

at these sushi counters. 

Alongside the delectable 

slivers of tuna draped over 

a bed of rice, we noshed on 

congee reel, sea urchin and 

that celebrated Japanese 

delight, tamagoyaki, egg 

omelette roll. 

If you’re sizing up one big 

blow-out in Tokyo, the Park 

Hyatt is the pinnacle of 

high-end hospitality. 

The city’s most decorated 

hotel is the Park Hyatt 

which graces the upperlevels 

of a Kenzo Tangedesigned 

high-rise, lording 

over west Shinjuku. 

Considered the father 

of modern Japanese 

architecture, he was the 

master planner for the 

rebuilding of Hiroshima 

after World War 2. With 

the hotel floors beginning 

on the 41st level with the 

glass-walled reception, 

you can be assured your 

accommodation will be 

dressed with a sweeping 

panorama of the neondrenched, 

sky-scrapered 

expanse of Tokyo. 

Service is ultra-attentive 

without being starchy. 

Whether you’re staying 

in-house or not, the dining 

destinations are unmissable. 

BUSY: Eat fresh raw fish at Sushi Daiwa.

Theatre/Arts 

Clever comedy but no side-splitter 

The Pickle King 

Produced by Indian Ink 

Written by Jacob Rajan and 

Justin Lewis 

Reviewed by Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

YOU COULD be easily fooled 

for thinking The Pickle King is a 

bit of a tragedy, theming around 

a girl who believes she is cursed 

and everyone she loves dies. 

But with a captivating set, vivacious 

characters and just a touch 

of neat choreography, Indian 

Ink’s original show brought a 

touch of warmth into the city’s 

cold wintry night. 

The show staged at the Isaac 

Theatre Royal last week, is part of 

the company’s 20th-anniversary 

national tour. 

Covering the themes of love, 

death and adversity immigrants 

face when moving to New Zealand, 

The Pickle King is about a 

blind receptionist who falls in 

love with another employee at a 

run-down hotel in Wellington. 

At the same time the blind 

receptionist, who believes she is 

cursed, falls in love with another 

employee, a mysterious guest 

checks into the hotel who she 

believes is the Grim Reaper. 

The show was a highly-anticipated 

comedy, having won an 

LIGHT AND DARKNESS: Andrew Ford as George Reaper, Kalyani Nagarajan as Sasha and 

Vanessa Kumar as Jeena in Indian Ink’s original production The Pickle King. 

award at the Edinburgh Festival 

Fringe and Chapman Tripp 

Theatre Awards. 

It is easy to see why it is 

award-winning in the way it is 

professionally executed, but the 

storyline was not life-changing 

and it didn’t make me howl with 

laughter like I thought it would. 

It was lovely the show’s original 

performance 15 years ago had 

been adapted to feature a love 

story around two women rather 

than a man and woman. 

The same-sex love story 

between the leading characters 

Sasha (Kalyani Nagarajan) and 

Jeena (Vanessa Kumar) was extremely 

natural, and was a credit 

to how far New Zealanders have 

come to accepting gay relationships. 

With the company always 

featuring performers of Indian 

descent in the show, I loved the 

way the setting was designedthe 

walls were covered in 

brightly coloured Indian-inspired 

paintings creating a mystique 

atmosphere. But you were soon 

reminded the show was actually 

set in Wellington, as every time 

a door or window opened gusty 

sound effects and the odd flying 

prop would blast across the stage. 

A non-speaking pianist is the 

cherry-on-top to the hotel-esque 

atmosphere but some of the music 

played although beautiful, was 

slightly depressing. 

But bright costumes with a 

broad spectrum of masks ranging 

from covering the actor’s full 

face to just partially made for a 

visual treat balancing joy with 

darkness. 

Andrew Ford mastered his 

role of the scary-death-inducing 

George Reaper, his voice was 

particularly creepy and one could 

not help but watch with thrilling 

fear. But, to be honest, I didn’t 

get why his character had such a 

fascination with pickles, which 

the entire show is supposedly 

based around. The pickles didn’t 

seem to have any relevance to the 

overall storyline. 

But there is a bit of a twist to 

the end of the story that makes 

the death-like George Reaper not 

what he seems. 

You will have to catch up with 

the show to find out.

Flanagan comes back from injury for World University Games 

MIDDLE DISTANCE runner 

Rosa Flanagan has qualified 

for the 5000m at the World 

University Games in Taiwan in 

August. 

Flanagan, 21, achieved the 

qualifying time for the games 

at the Portland Track Festival 

last week and is now the only 

Canterbury athlete in the 

13-strong New Zealand team. 

Qualifying for the event has 

been one of Flanagan’s major 

goals this year after a bad run 

of injuries. 

Last year, she suffered a stress 

fracture in her tibia, which 

meant she had to resort to aqua 

jogging, swimming, biking 

and cross training while she 

recovered. 

She then suffered labral 

tears in both her hips, which 

resulted in her missing the 

majority of the New Zealand 

and Australian track seasons, 

making it tough to qualify for 

major events. 

She has spent the last two 

months in Santa Monica, 

United States, training and 

competing in a number of 

1500m, 3000m steeplechase, 

and 5000m track races. 

She has previously won the 

New Zealand 3000m and 

3000m steeplechase titles and 

represented New Zealand at 

the world championships 

in 2015. After the World 

University Games she hopes to 

represent New Zealand at the 

2018 Commonwealth Games 

and 2020 Olympic Games.

ADVICE FROM TOPAI-AVEAI 

Last year’s UC Championship most 

valuable player Cruz Topai-Aveai returned 

to Shirley Boys’ High on Tuesday to pass 

on words of wisdom to the school’s junior 

rugby players. Topai-Aveai led Shirley 

BHS to consecutive UC Championship 

grand-final appearances in 2015 and 

2016 before moving to Sydney to join the 

South Sydney Rabbitohs. After a handful 

of games for the South Sydney under-20 

side he was offered a first grade contract 

with the Cronulla Sharks. He will return 

to Sydney later this week and is expected 

to return from injury for the Sharks 

under-20 side next month. 

CBHS TO HOST NELSON 

Christchurch Boys’ High School will host 

Nelson College in a top of the table UC 

Championship clash on Saturday. Both 

Christchurch Boys’ and Nelson have just 

one defeat to their name in this campaign. 

The home side come into the game on 

the back of a nail-biting 25-23 final 

minute win over St Andrew’s College. 

Christchurch Boys’ trailed St Andrew’s 

by five points with just two minutes 

remaining. Rico Syme was the hero, 

coming off the bench to make his first XV 

debut with 20min remaining and scoring 

a breakaway try in the dying stages, before 

Alex Harford’s kick sealed the win.

are currently at the bottom of 

the table after six games and 

only one win to their name. 

They will host the Dunedin

Falck tests out European clay 

• By Gordon Findlater 

PROMISING YOUNG tennis 

talent Reece Falck is spending 

the next eight weeks developing 

his game on the clay courts of 

Europe. 

Falck, 15, is currently in 

Amsterdam as part of Tennis 

New Zealand’s targeted athlete 

programme. 

He will compete in two 

grade four junior International 

Tennis Federation events in the 

Netherlands, a grade two event 

in Germany, and another event 

in Fiji on his way home. 

The Shirley Boys’ High 

School student is coached by 

his father Andrew, who is head 

coach at the Burwood Park 

club. 

Andrew believes the eight 

weeks of clay court play will 

benefit his son’s game. 

“Playing on clay is a great 

way for young players to 

develop their game and it’s 

a surface we don’t have easy 

access to here,” said Andrew. 

Falck is the only Canterbury 

tennis player in the targeted 

athlete programme. 

He won the 14 and under 

national title earlier this year 

and represented New Zealand 

at the junior Davis Cup in 

March. 

Two other Canterbury 

juniors will also have brief 

spells in Europe. 

National 16 and under 

champion Dylan Heap will 

head to Amsterdam for three 

weeks of training and also play

Warriors name Foran for Bulldogs clash 

WARRIORS COACH Stephen 

Kearney will give five-eighth 

Kieran Foran until the last 

minute to prove his fitness ahead 

of tomorrow’s game against the 

Bulldogs at Mt Smart Stadium. 

Foran hurt his quad muscle in 

the side’s win over the Titans 11 

days ago and is showing signs 

of improvement. The extra rest 

thanks to last weekend’s bye has 

helped him have a chance of being 

fit to face the side he will play 

for in 2018. 

Kearney has named the Kiwis 

international in the No 6 jumper 

in a side that has a familiar look 

to it. 

The one glaring omission is 

centre Solomone Kata, who is 

unavailable for the game due to 

the death of his brother back in 

Tonga. 

“Sol has had a tragic event 


.kiwi 

happen – his brother has passed 

away in Tonga,” Kearney told 

Radio Sport. 

“He will be flying out late 

tonight to attend his brother’s 

funeral,” Kearney said. 

“He was only a young guy and 

it was a tragic event – the club’s 

best wishes and thoughts are 

with Sol and his family.” 

Rookie Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 

comes onto the wing with 

David Fusitua moving into the 

centres to replace Kata. 

Kearney refused the temptation 

to include the club’s all-time 

leading try-scorer Manu Vatuvei, 

who is working his way back 

from injury. Vatuvei has been 

included on an extended bench. 

Also named on an extended 

bench is prop James Gavet, who 

missed the game against the Titans 

with a hamstring strain, and 


Ata Hingano, who came on to replace 

Foran when the five-eighth 

got injured. 

The Warriors have confirmed 

they will not be bringing in 

a replacement for the nowdeparted 

assistant coach Steve 

McNamara, who this week 

took up the vacant head 

coaching job at the Catalan 

Dragons in the United 

Kingdom’s Super League.

But it’s sudoku with a 

twist: The numbers in 

each heavily outlined 

set of squares, called 

cages, must produce the 

number in the top corner. 

For example, 5+ means 

the numbers add up to 5, 

9x means the numbers 

multiply to equal 9. 

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the 

same line or row.

VEHICLES 

FOR 

SALE 

Outstanding fuel 

economy in Outlander 

• By Ross Kiddie 

WHEN Mitsubishi 

launched its popular 

Outlander sport utility 

vehicle in hybrid form, it 

was almost deemed revolutionary. 

That was in 2014, and 

since then the PHEV (plugin 

electric vehicle) has sold 

well in New Zealand – 

globally too for that matter 

– and is about to become 

even more appealing for it 

has just had a fairly hefty 

makeover. 

The concept, shape and 

ease of use hasn’t changed 

one bit, but the new 

Outlander PHEV is fitted 

out with a lot of new 

kit, most of it is electronic 

thereby enhancing the 

infotainment and communication 

systems, along 

with the inclusion of an 

ultra fast charge mechanism, 

higher priority for 

electric operation-only and 

the inclusion of advanced 

safety protocols. 

Column space doesn’t 

allow comprehensive detailing 

of the new features but 

I can say the Outlander in 

this form is engineered with 

a greater emphasis towards 

propulsion through the 

electric motors. 

For that matter, the new 

fast charge connection will 

fit well with a comprehensive 

project nationwide to 

install fast charge stations. 

Of course, the PHEV can 

also be charged through a 

household supply using a 

separate connection. 

However, there’s more to 

PHEV than just plugging 

in, charging and then driving 

off, the hybrid system 

is true hybrid. Under the 

bonnet sits a four-cylinder, 

2-litre engine which is 

rated at 88kW. It’s there to 

charge the batteries when 

they run low, as well as 

providing drive if there is 

no charge available. On the 

subject of drive, the PHEV 

is true to the Outlander 

concept, it gets four-wheeldrive 

courtesy of a second 

electric motor at the rear. 

Amidst the complexity 

of the hybrid system the 

MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER: Plug-in hybrid. 

PHEV is capable of returning 

some amazing fuel 

usage statistics through 

the varying drive modes, 

although electric drive is 

prioritised. 

At best possible usage 

Mitsubishi rate the PHEV 

at an amazing 1.7-litres per 

100km (166mpg). That, 

of course, can only be 

achieved under certain circumstances, 

but on a daily 

commute it can’t be ruled 

out. 

• Price – Mitsubishi 

Outlander PHEV, 

$67,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4695mm; 

width, 1800mm; 

height, 1710mm 

• Configuration 

– Four-cylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1998cc, 88kW, 

189Nm, continuously 

variable automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10sec 

• Fuel usage – 

1.7l/100km 

An overnight charge (6.5 

hours) will cost around $2 

depending on your service 

provider and it is good for 

a 54km journey. 

Fast charge rates at a pay 

station will cost, on current 

rates, 25c/minute plus 

25c/kWh. A 20min time 

frame should be expected 

to charge from zero to 80 

per cent. 

Even though the 

Outlander PHEV is a 

complicated car and takes 

some understanding, buyers 

needn’t be put off by its 

complexity. If you just get 

POWER: 

Plug in and 

charge 

up for an 

electric 

drive of 

54km. 

in and drive it, it quickly 

becomes familiar and 

drives little differently to 

the standard vehicle it is 

based on. 

Also, if you are a technophile 

there are a multitude 

of information displays to 

keep you happy, they indicate 

the varying modes that 

the vehicle is utilising at 

any given time. 

Even though I didn’t take 

the PHEV off-road – only 

for the sake I didn’t want to 

get it dirty thanks to a wet 

Queen’s Birthday weekend 

making off-road conditions 

muddy – you can drive the 

PHEV with the mindset it is 

a useful off-the-seal traveller 

with suspension capable 

of absorbing a bit of rough 

stuff and ground clearance 

which allows travel over 

undulating ground. 

The PHEV also has composure 

on the highway, it 

travels very quietly – no 

surprise there – and it 

steers and handles like an 

SUV should. It feels quite 

sprightly given the torque 

generation of electric 

power returning a 10sec 

time to make 100km/h 

from a standstill. 

There’s been a common 

misconception that you 

have to drive hybrids long 

distances to recapture the 

cost of purchase. 

That’s certainly not the 

case with the Outlander 

PHEV. It comes priced 

realistically from $60,990. 

The evaluation car was 

VRX-specced which adds 

$7000 and you get all the 

Mitsubishi high-grade kit 

– leather trim, heated front 

seats, paddle gear shifters, 

sat nav, Siri voice recognition 

and a multitude of 

other items. It’s fair to say 

the VRX sits on the outer 

periphery of the luxury car 

market. 

If you think that longevity 

is a worry, take into 

account that the hybrid/ 

electric componentry is 

covered for an eight-year 

period (or 160,000km) and 

the engine/driveline is covered 

for 10 years. Peace of 

mind really.

REAA - Disclosure rules 

when selling a home 

Real estate advertisements are designed to make 

every property look like a dream buy. 

That’s why they gloss over the 

negative aspects and linger on the good 

points, wanting you to be drawn in by 

the sun-drenched location rather than 

be put off by lack of garaging. It’s no 

crime to gloss over a property’s quirks, 

but lying by omission or design about 

more serious matters is not allowed. If 

you do this when selling your property 

you may be at risk of being sued by the 

purchaser. 

When you’re ready to sell your 

property it’s a good idea to get legal 

advice about your obligations before 

you sign an agency agreement. Most 

of these agreements, which set out the 

terms and conditions of your contract 

with the real estate agent, require you 

to confirm that you are unaware of any 

undisclosed defects 

in the property and 

that you haven’t 

withheld any 

information about it. 

As a seller, you must 

also confirm that 

your property has all 

the necessary consents 

and code compliance 

certificates for any 

building work. Any outstanding consents, 

including ones that involve any works at a 

neighbour’s property, should be disclosed 

to the agent. 

This is important for several reasons. 

Licensed real estate agents have 

clear obligations when it comes to 

disclosure. They must not mislead a 

seller or a potential buyer, or withhold 

any information. While it’s not up 

to the agent to uncover any hidden 

defects in a property, they must tell any 

prospective buyers what they know. 

Under the Real Estate Agents Act 

2008, if licensed real estate agents 

suspect that a property may have a 

defect then they are obliged to ask 

the seller about it, or advise potential 

buyers of any risks. For example, if a 

property is next door to a proposed 

new development, or if it’s in an area 

that’s been subject to flooding, the agent 

must tell prospective buyers rather than 

turning a blind eye. 

If your property may be prone to 

weathertightness issues thanks to its 

age or cladding, then the agent may 

have to disclose this potential risk to

prospective buyers. If it doesn’t have 

any weathertightness problems it may 

be worth getting this confirmed in an 

expert report by a qualified building 

inspector who has professional 

indemnity insurance, understands 

the strict legal requirements of their 

role and carries out their work in 

accordance with the New Zealand 

Property Inspection Standard. This will 

help make the sale process as efficient 

as possible. 

If you know there are issues 

with the property, whether 

it’s something small like a 

garage door not working 

properly, or a bigger deal 

like an unconsented deck, it’s best to 

discuss them with the agent you are 

working with. They can help you decide 

how to manage the problem, whether 

that means fixing it, or disclosing it to 

potential buyers. However, a licensed 

real estate agent must not disclose any 

problems with your property to buyers 

without getting your consent first. If a 

seller doesn’t agree on a disclosure, the 

agent is required to stop working for 

them rather than disclose any defects 

without consent. 

These rules offer more protection to 

buyers than the traditional attitude of 

‘caveat emptor’ (buyer beware), which 

assumed that the seller would always 

know more than the buyer and any sale 

was at the buyer’s risk. However, buyers 

should always do their own research 

about a property before signing a sale 

and purchase agreement. Buyers should 

also ask the agent about anything they 

are concerned about, no matter how 

trivial it may seem. It’s far better to get 

an answer upfront than find out when 

it’s too late.
