SOCIAL MEDIA trends, tissue
sales and sick leave could be
used to help predict outbreaks of
infectious diseases and muster
the resources to deal with them.
The Ministry of Health is
looking at whether utilising
trends and other unconventional
data would help with detection,
and improving responses to
epidemics.
Christchurch health officials
are welcoming the research.
As part of the project, the
Ministry is looking at whether
Facebook or Twitter posts about
illnesses or symptoms could be
tracked to see if there is a trend
in a particular area.
It would also look at whether
school absentees, employee sick
leave, over-the-counter pharmacy
sales, tissue sales or Healthline
calls could be utilised.
Canterbury Medical Officer of
Health Alistair Humphrey said
the Canterbury District Health
Board already tracked trends using
Googleflu, which could be a
good predictor of flu needs.
It tracked whether people were
making flu-related searches on
Google, and where from.
“Research into more sophisticated
social media analysis is
welcome,” Dr Humphrey said.
David Jones, a director of Better
Health practices, which includes
the Linwood, Moorhouse
and Barrington medical centres,
said the idea had potential.

I HOPE for Maddie Collins and
her family’s sake Jane Laurie
does have $42 million in the
bank.
But I suspect not.
This week, reporter Gabrielle
Stuart paid Ms Laurie a visit.
She said she had dough and the
$1.5 million would be paid for
Maddie’s much-needed life saving
treatment in a United States
hospital.
Ms Laurie didn’t slam the
door or give the usual heave-ho
journos get when they sometimes
want to discuss a potentially
tricky subject.
Hopefully, if Ms Laurie has
the money she will front up with
her pledge. If she doesn’t have,
hopefully, she’ll have the heart to
front up on that one too, and let
Maddie’s family know her bank
account doesn’t hold that kind
of gold.
They probably know that
already but when your daughter
needs lifesaving treatment anything
is worth clinging onto.
There’s still lots to raise for
Maddie – a very worthy cause if
you’ve got a few dollars to spare.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw pioneer William Deans among
28 lost in the wreck of the Maria in Cook Strait on July 23,
1851. On July 24, 1983, New Zealand’s first “test-tube” twins
were born at Christchurch Hospital. On July 25, 1903, the
city council generated Christchurch’s first public electricity
from a generator driven by the municipal refuse destructor.
This eventually led to the formation of the Municipal
Electricity Department. On July 27, 1851, a storm wrecked
six ships in Lyttelton Harbour. On July 28, 1964, trees were
cut down in Rolleston Ave by the city council. Intense
public protest followed. On July 29, 1953, aviation pioneer
Richard W Pearse died in Christchurch. Pearse made one of
the world’s first powered flights on or about March 31, 1902,
in South Canterbury. He moved to Christchurch in 1921.

West End actor returns to city
One-man show
makes light of
deportation
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
BUILDING AN arts career on
London’s West End is a far cry
from reality for most – but not
for Christchurch performer Nic
Kyle.
Taken under Broadway star
Elaine Paige’s wing, Kyle, 30,
led a soaring four-year stint,
performing in
sell-out shows in
one of the biggest
commercial
theatre scenes in
the world.
Nic Kyle
But all came to
abrupt halt, when
the actor, who
grew up in Ilam, found himself
being deported.
Kyle was in the United
Kingdom for two years before
deciding to get a defacto visa.
“I was seeing an English girl
and we decided to go into a
partner defacto visa which in
hindsight was probably not a
good idea,” he said.
THe relationship broke up but
Kyle decided to keep the visa.
THe visa issue was flagged
when Kyle was being checked
through Gatwick Airport after a
short trip to Portugal.
“Getting deported was
probably the worse thing that
ever happened in my life . . .
they took my passport off me,
took my phone off me, locked
me in a holding cell,” he said.
Kyle was locked away
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: Nic Kyle as King Arthur in The English Theatre Frankfurt’s production
of Spamalot. Right – Kyle with his girlfriend Sophie Schmidt.
from midnight to 9am in the
morning and given five days to
get out of London.
He took off to Germany,
landing the lead role in The
English Theatre Frankfurt’s
production of Spamalot before
heading home to Christchurch
where he has been for the past
month.
It was in Germany where he
met his girlfriend Canadian
Sophie Schmidt, a professional
football player who is a
midfielder for FFC Frankfurt in
the German national league.
Kyle said meeting Schmidt
was a complete coincidence
as both her club and The
English Theatre Frankfurt was
sponsored by the same bank.
“THe team always come to
the show every year and have a
mix and mingle with the cast
afterwards and we always
go to their game the week
afterwards,” he said.
Now he is back in
Christchurch, Kyle will make
light of getting kicked out of the
UK his original one-man show
Deported.
For the second element of
the show, he has reigned in city
performers Matt Hudson and
Jack Marshall to take part in
dark comedy Coffin.
Back in London Kyle
performed in the sell-out
premier on West End for the
show.
He was given the rights to
perform the show after writer
Elliott Langsdon found out he
was deported.
Kyle will be heading back
to Europe to travel with his
girlfriend before he decides
what to do next. “I am not
happy I got deported but it has
worked out really well . . . if I
hadn’t, would I had ever met
Sophie? Who knows?” he said.
Kyle’s career on West End
began after he sung for Paige
during her New Zealand
tour.
“I was going to move to
Melbourne and she was like
no you are talking s***. I am
going to help get you to London
. . . and she helped get me an
agent,” he said.
•Coffin and Deported will
be performed at Christ’s
College Old Boys’ Theatre
on Saturday and Sunday.

Court Theatre website.
Facebook, Twitter plan to track illness outbreaks
•From page 1
“Sourcing information that
helps is going to be potentially
useful.”
But he said the main issue
would be whether the information
had any validity.
CDHB board member
Andrew Dickerson said it was
worth further research.
But he said there could be a
risk of self diagnosis if taking
data from social media.
He said school absentee
numbers would be a really good
indicator.
Age Concern Canterbury chief
executive Simon Templeton said
the main benefit for the elderly
population would be to detect
influenza.
“We know it’s a killer.”
He said looking into
being able to use trends and
unconventional data was
wise.
The ministry is currently
running a survey on its website
asking people if they have
posted on social media about
themselves or family members’
illnesses.
In Brief
RUGBY INVESTIGATION
A Canterbury Rugby Football
Union investigation into the
actions of West Melton under-14.5s
rugby coach Amanda Tomlinson
at a match this month has been put
on hold while police investigate. A
complaint was made alleging she
verbally and physically abused a
young Lincoln Rugby Club player
after the match on July 8. Senior
Sergeant Peter Stills said yesterday
police were still investigating the
incident. The CRFU investigation
into the complaint has been put on
hold, but a separate investigation
into an altercation between players
during the game that day may still
go ahead.
NEW PARKING RULES
A new bylaw under development
may ban parking on grass berms,
cultivated areas and gardens. City
council head of strategic policy
Helen Beaumont said, under the
current rules, enforcement officers
can fine people for parking on
berms, but only where there were
‘no parking’ signs, or if the berm
was damaged. However, under the
proposed new Traffic and Parking
Bylaw, parking on all berms would
be prohibited. The changes would
go out for public consultation.

HAREWOOD BOTTLE STORE
Residents have been successful in
their fight to stop a liquor store
opening in Harewood. The controversial
application by Samarth
Rajeshkumar Limbachiya to open
a liquor store at 2a and 2b Trafford
St has been declined by the city
council’s district licensing committee.
In its report, the committee
said granting the licence would be
detrimental to the neighbourhood
so the application was declined.
WOOLSTON CUT DREDGING
A $2.3 million project to dredge
the Woolston Cut will begin
in October. City council land
drainage manager Keith Davison
said the cut was full of silt and
liquefaction. It had not been
dredged since it was built in the
1980s to prevent flooding in the
lower Heathcote River area.

Steeple climbs higher
• By Bridget Rutherford
AN 8.4m replica of Christ
Church Cathedral’s steeple will
be rolled around the city to
show people how the real thing
could be rebuilt like an Amish
‘barn raising’.
Marcus Brandt, a master carpenter
from the United States,
has been building the replica
out of timber at Ara Institute of
Canterbury’s trade campus.
Students and Restore Christ
Church Cathedral Group members
are helping.
It is similar to a small scale
version Mr Brandt built after
hatching a plan to rebuild the
steeple in pieces out of timber,
before placing stone on the outside
so it looks the same.
The pre-fabricated timber
pieces would be built then
nestled inside one another like
a telescope, before being raised
up using winding devices, ropes
and people power.
Mr Brandt said the steeple
could be restored separately to
the rest of the building.
He restores historic stone and
timber buildings in the US, said
the method was used by Amish
communities to raise barns and
churches.
By the end of the week, the
SPORTS
BRAS
finished replica will be taken by
trailer to places such as Margaret
Mahy Family Playground
and the Transitional Cathedral.
People would be able to help
raise the replica using rope and
winding devices to pull the
steeple up and into place.
Mr Brandt said it was important
everyone knew about the
method, before the Anglican
Diocese’s synod voted on the
Cathedral’s future in September.
“I want to encourage the
synod it’s not just a building

project. This is potentially a tremendous
outreach programme
that really wouldn’t take much,”
he said.
“We can repair this. If New
Zealand loses its cultural heritage,
we’re all the poorer.”
Mr Brandt said he wanted to
help because it matched his skill
set and experience. He is part of
the Timber Framers Guild, an
educational organisation based
in the US.
He said members were keen to
assist with the project.

FOR NIGHT-SHIFT hospital
aide Jean Gardiner, winning the
major $10,000 double glazing
prize at the Star Home & Leisure
Show was the stuff of dreams –
literally.
It meant she might finally get a
good sleep, she said.
She said her Shirley home was
near an industrial site, and crashing
from their rubbish skips often
woke her up when she was trying
to sleep after a shift.
She hoped the double-glazing
prize would change that.
“I’m just so excited about being
able to sleep properly,” she said.
Visitors at the Star Home &

exit survey were in the draw for
the prize, which is provided by

“I didn’t believe it at first, I
thought it might be a hoax. I
thought are you having me on,
what’s the catch,” she said.
She had looked at doubleglazing
several years ago, but said
she couldn’t afford the $12,000-
$15,000 price she was quoted.
She said she had gone to the
show looking for ways to heat her
home and reduce her power bill,
so the prize was perfectly-timed.
“When I have the grandkids
staying I won’t have to worry
about leaving heaters on all the
time. It will make such a big difference,
it really will,” she said.

Woman still pledges to donate $1.5m
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A WOMAN who said she would
give $1.5 million for potential
life saving treatment to teenager
Maddie Collins is adamant she
will honour her pledge.
Jane Laurie spoke to The Star
at her modest rural Canterbury
home this week, and said: “It’ll
get through to them.”
But Maddie’s mother, Sarah
Manson Collins, is resigned to
the fact the money will never
arrive after several weeks of
“empty promises”.
The saga with Ms Laurie
began in early June when she
contacted Mrs Manson Collins
saying she had come into a $42
million inheritance and wanted
to donate $1.5 million to help
Maddie.
The 13-year-old St Margaret’s
College student has kidney
failure with potentially lifethreatening
complications, and
her family have been trying to
raise more than $700,000 to get
her a transplant in the United
States.
Her condition and fundraising
efforts have received much
publicity.
Last week The Star revealed the
$1.5 million pledge was probably
bogus, devastating the family

inheritance, says she will still give $1,5 million to help sick
teenager Maddie Collins (right). PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
when they are struggling to raise
the money needed to help their
daughter.
Mrs Manson Collins said Ms
Laurie had been convincing,
visiting the family home and
then regularly messaging to say
the money was on its way.
But, as time went by, they
realised the money would never
arrive.
However, on Tuesday Ms
Laurie told The Star the Manson
Collins family had nothing to be
concerned about. Her bank was
causing the delay, she said.
“I’ll get some paperwork back
and the first lot should go right
through to them. The bank just
can’t pay that much at one time,”
she said.
Ms Laurie said she was
meeting with the bank and her
lawyer this week. However,
when The Star phoned Ms Laurie
yesterday the number she gave
the newspaper did not work.
When asked if she could show
The Star any paperwork from the
bank or the lawyer, she replied
she didn’t have any.
Ms Laurie could not remember
the lawyer’s name or what firm
he worked for.
The inheritance had been left
to her nine months ago by a
childhood friend called Marcus.
He had lived in the United
Kingdom where he established
several successful businesses, but
had moved back to Christchurch
six or seven years ago.
“I wanted to give it (money)
away because it’s far too much,”
she said.
She said she saw Maddie’s
plight and fundraising articles in
the news media and approached
the family. She also planned
to donate money to other sick
children.
Mrs Manson Collins said
yesterday she was worried other
families would be put through
the same thing her family had.
“I don’t think she’s realised the
devastation she has caused this
family. It’s like having the rug
pulled out from under our feet,
because we were really hoping
this would mean Maddie could
get the transplant and go back to
school and be able to be a normal
teenager,” she said.
If Ms Laurie kept messaging
her, she planned to put an official
complaint in to police.
About $170,00 has already
been raised through fundraisers
and donations to help Maddie
get a kidney replacement at
the John Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, United States.
The treatment offered there
would make it more likely
Maddie’s body would accept a
donated kidney, even if it was not
a perfect match.

Manji’s MP
campaign
set to launch
• By Bridget Rutherford
CITY COUNCILLOR Raf Manji
will launch his bid to become an
MP tomorrow.
The former investment banker
is standing as a independent in
the Ilam electorate.
He will come up against National’s
Gerry Brownlee, who has
held the seat since
1996, Labour’s
Anthony Rimell
and David Lee, of
the Green Party.
Student Volunteer
Army founder
Raf Manji
Sam Johnson
will introduce Cr
Manji, as he did for his first city
council campaign in 2013.
Cr Manji said the themes of his
political campaign launch would
be similar to that of his council
campaign – finance, strategy and
community.
“I’m going to be talking about
my vision for the city and the key
issues we have in Ilam.”
The launch will be held at Mona
Vale at 10am.
If elected, he would step down
as councillor. A by-election would
cost $65,000 to replace him.
Move to ban roadside vehicle sales
• By Bridget Rutherford
SELLING YOUR vehicle on the
side of the road could soon be
illegal.
The city council is developing
a new Traffic and Parking Bylaw
to replace the current rules,
and wants to add a new clause
prohibiting the practice.
Under the new clause, a
person must not stop, stand or
park a vehicle on any road or
parking place to
offer it for sale,
unless it was being
used for day-today
travel.
City council
Helen
Beaumont
head of strategic
policy Helen
Beaumont said on
some streets, such as Cranford
St, it created hazards and
distractions.
“Drivers have been seen
making risky manoeuvres, such
as U-turns, in order to get a
better view or to park alongside
the cars for sale.”
She said some car sales
businesses had been using
adjoining on-street parks as part
of their forecourts.
The city council would
consider the draft bylaw early
next month, with consultation

The Regulatory Performance
Committee yesterday endorsed
the plan for public consultation.
One woman spoken to by The
Star, who declined to be named,
had parked a vehicle on Main

window.
She did not believe it created
a hazard, as people did risky
manoeuvres and U-turns
everywhere.
“That comes down to
someone’s driving really.”
The woman said she had listed
the vehicle on Trade Me as well,

She said it would likely be
difficult to enforce and there
could be a designated space
where vehicles could be parked
to sell.
AA senior policy analyst Mark
Stockdale said if implemented,
the city council should focus its
enforcement on the busy streets
where there was a risk.
“Car sales businesses
shouldn’t be using public parks
to sell cars for profit.”

Car dealer escapes conviction
• By Kurt Bayer
A CHRISTCHURCH car dealer
who punched a panel beater in
the aftermath of a crash that
wrote off a car he had just sold,
has avoided a conviction today
because of the work he does in
the community.
Nigel Terrance William
Thompson (right) of city car
dealership Nigel Thompson
Motor Company was driving a
car to its final compliance test
when a vehicle pulled out of a
St Asaph St panel shop at about
9.30am on January 13, this year,
and hit him.
Insurers would later deem
Thompson’s vehicle so badly
damaged it was a write-off.
A furious Thompson, a
43-year-old who has previous
convictions for fraud, dating
back 15 years, got out of the car.
A heated verbal argument
ensued and several panel shop
workers came out of the workshop
to see what was going on.
One of the men told Thompson
to “calm down, c***”.
Thompson, who pleaded
guilty to assault at the district
court, admitted punching the
man twice in the head.
The pair fell into a car, causing
$900 in damage to its door.
At court yesterday, through
his defence counsel Jonathan
Eaton QC, he was granted
a discharge without conviction.
Thompson, the court heard,
felt surrounded and intimidated
by the crowd.
When the complainant
phoned the police to report the
assault, Mr Eaton said the man
admitted he shouldn’t have used
such offensive language towards
Thompson.
The complainant suffered a
cut to his nose and two large
lumps on his forehead. Thompson
received a black eye.
Mr Eaton said in spite of
Thompson’s substantial fraud
offending, for which he served
jail time, the offending was out
of character.
Thompson later admitted it
was a “stupid and inappropriate”
response to a situation where
independent witnesses identified
him as the aggressor.
After his release from prison
in 2004, he vowed to never to
return to a courtroom again as a
defendant.
The Salisbury Street Foundation,
a privately-run residential
facility that helps prison parolees
reintegrate into the community,
helped Thompson turn his
life around.
Thompson has gone on to
establish a successful car dealership
in Christchurch.
He has also been an SSF board
member since 2013 and does
youth mentoring with other
organisations.
Mr Eaton argued a conviction
would mean Thompson would
have to give up his valuable
mentoring roles and work he
does in the community. It could
also affect his biannual trips to
Japan to buy cars.
Judge Brian Callaghan said
the incident was clearly a “fall
from grace” for Thompson.
But he was satisfied the direct,
and indirect, consequences of a
conviction would outweigh the
seriousness of the incident and
that a discharge without conviction
could be entered.
The judge ordered Thompson
pay $948 in reparation for the
damage to the car door, and
a further $1000 as emotional
harm compensation to the complainant.
DNA could
identify
potential
child abductor
• By Andrew King
DNA EVIDENCE could be
the key to finding a man who
attempted to abduct a young girl
from a Governors Bay car park.
Police have taken fingernail
clippings from the victim in an
effort to find evidence of her attacker,
the victim’s mother told
The Star.
The samples will then be
checked against the National
DNA Profile Databank to see if
there is a match.
The girl fought off her attacker,
which means she could have evidence
underneath her fingernails
that could identify her attacker.
On June 15 she was with friends
playing hide and seek in the
Governors Bay Hotel gardens
when she slipped down a hill and
landed in the hotel car park.
A man, described as a European
in a red vehicle possibly a sedan,
sped into the car park at about
4.20pm.
The offender got out of his vehicle
and grabbed her before trying
to drag her into the car before she
fought him off.

Banks Peninsula’s volcanic soil
They may be small,
but Banks Peninsula
vineyards are starting
to show they can
match it with the
big players. Bridget
Rutherford reports
TUCKED INTO the hillside in
Charteris Bay is a little vineyard
– a vineyard that’s making a
name for itself.
But it’s not the only one.
What started as a hobby has
turned into success for Neil
and Jill Pattinson, with their
vineyard Whistling Buoy taking
out the top award at this year’s
Wines of Canterbury awards.
Their Whistling Buoy Kokolo
Pinot Noir 2015 won the game
trophy and a gold medal.
It was later named champion
wine.
Its Kokolo Chardonnay 2015
and Kokolo Pinot Noir 2016 also
earned bronze medals.
Dr Pattinson, who is president
of Wines of Canterbury, said
there are four main vineyards
that sit within the craters of
Lyttelton and Akaroa harbours –
and all were proving their worth.
He said Banks Peninsula was
an emerging sub-wine region.
But he said it was a given the
area should produce nice wines
– the very earliest plantings in
New Zealand were in Akaroa in
1840 when the French settlers
arrived.
“What’s unique about Banks
Peninsula is the soils, the aspect,
particularly north-facing
slopes and basically being close
to large bodies of water being
Akaroa and Lyttelton harbours,
which help mitigate the ultraextremes.”
He said the sea air didn’t seem
to have any impact on the wine
and they rarely suffered frosts.
Akaroa’s Meniscus Wines had
success at the same awards.

For the second year in a row,
its 2015 pinot noir won the best
pairing wine with lamb and got a
silver medal. Its 2016 riesling and
2016 pinot noir also got bronze
medals.
Owner David Epstein said they
were thrilled, especially with the
lamb trophy.
He said Banks Peninsula wines
had certain characteristics that
were starting to be recognised.
“It just shows there must be
something special in the terroir
here in the ground that is very
good for the grapes and the
growth,” he said.
“The volcanic soil that exists
here from years back is giving a
special character.”
They produce pinot noir,
riesling and pinot gris from the
vines on the 2.4ha block which
sits on the south edge of Akaroa.
They make between 4000-6000
bottles each year.
Mr Epstein said all the grapes
are picked by hand before being
sent to Waipara to be produced.

makes for great winemaking
He and his wife Gay bought
the vineyard, formerly known
as Vanstone Estate, and Crater
Rim, at the end of 2008 and
moved over from Australia.
Previously, it was owned by
Akaroa businessman Graham
Vanstone, who disappeared
without a trace in September
1999, before his first vintage was
picked.
After his disappearance, Mr
Vanstone’s family rallied to
produce Vanstone Estate’s wine
before leasing the vineyard. They
then sold to the Epsteins.
Mr Vanstone was never found.
Police say his missing person file
has been referred to the coroner,
who will make a ruling on his
death.
“It’s just one of the mysteries of
SPECTACULAR:
At Whistling
Buoy, sheep

Akaroa Harbour.
Akaroa,” Mr Epstein said.
The Epsteins also run a tasting
lounge for their wines on Rue
Lavaud, but come October, they
will open it on site at Meniscus.
He hoped Banks Peninsula
would become recognised as a
fine wine growing area.
The Pattinsons planted grapes
into their 2023 sq m Charteris
Bay property in the early 2000s.
They went for the pinot noir
vines to match the clay-based
soil.
The name, Whistling Buoy,
was derived from the marker
buoy that used to direct vessels
into Lyttelton Harbour.
Dr Pattinson said originally it
was a hobby, but when they produced
their first vintage in 2005
and 2006, they knew they were
onto something.
So when a neighbouring property,
Kokolo, came up for sale at
Teddington about four and a half
years ago, they decided to buy it.
The 4ha site was already planted
with pinot noir, chardonnay,
and pinot meunier grapes, which
produced wine that was exported
to Japanese restaurant chains.
Dr Pattinson said they ripped
out the pinot meunier vines to
focus on the other two.
The pinot noir grapes at
Kokolo are also used to produce
Whistling Buoy’s rose.
All the grapes are sent to Greystone
Wines in Waipara to be
produced, but Dr Pattinson said
they had a lot of input into the
winemaking process.
Because of the sloping hills
the vines are planted on, and the
small distance between each,
everything is done by hand –
with a little aid.
Their next door neighbour,
Speaker of the House David
Carter, often brought his sheep
into the vineyard during leaf
plucking to maintain the grass
and leaves.
Whistling Buoy viticulturist
Cliff Wood is into his fourth
season at Whistling Buoy. Last
week, he was out pruning and
tying down the vines before they
begin to grow again.
“It’s pretty labour intensive.”
Dr Pattinson said they knew
the 2015 pinot noir had all the
right elements – warm weather,
low disease pressure, good
vineyard management and good
fruit.
“This particular wine’s had 10
months on oak and there’s new
oak in that not just old oak.”
But this year they weren’t so
lucky.
They didn’t harvest because
it was too wet for the grapes to
ripen.
“So in the end, we just had to
walk away from it, which is quite
a big hit.”
But it won’t hamper the wine
stocks at supermarkets and local
restaurants.
“We’ve got the 2015 and the
2016 has just been released, so
we’ve still got plenty of wine.
I’d need to sell three cases of
wine a day to sell what we produce.”

Listening key to solving Māori crime
The Star continues its
series on the work police
in Canterbury are doing
on crime prevention,
heading off trouble before
it starts. Gabrielle Stuart
reports on the work police
are doing with Maori
IN THE past year, Hirone
Waretini and his team have had
to come to terms with something
difficult – failure.
Five years ago, police launched
a national strategy, Turning of
the Tide. The goal was to turn
around the high numbers of
Māori who were involved in
crime and road crashes, and the
high numbers of Māori becoming
victims of them.
But it hasn’t worked.
As Canterbury Police Māori,
Pacific and Ethnic Services district
manager, Inspector Waretini
has those numbers always on
his mind.
At last count, eight per cent
of Christchurch residents were
Māori – yet Māori made up
about 20 per cent of the people
apprehended by police, he said.
More than half of New Zealand’s
prison population is Māori
– 51 per cent.
GREETING: Canterbury District Commander John Price greets Ngahuia Ngata, while Ngā Maata
Waka chief executive Norm Dewes looks on. Canterbury police are working together with local
rūnanga to try to reduce high Māori crime statistics.
A six-year national strategy
Turning The Tide was launched
in 2012, timed to finish in 2018.
It aimed to cut the number of
Māori first-time offenders by 10
per cent, cut repeat offenders and
repeat victims of crime by 20 per
cent, reduce Māori apprehensions,
and reduce the number of
Maori killed or seriously injured
in road crashes by 20 per cent. It
also aimed to increase trust and
confidence in police within the
Māori community.
But a review of progress on
the strategy last year found there
had been no change in the first
time offender rates, an increase
in repeat offenders, and trust and
confidence in police within the
Māori community had dipped.
There were small improvements
– a reduction in apprehensions
of Māori youth, and the
number of deaths in crashes
dropped by three per cent – but
overall it fell well short of the
goals.
“We need to look at different
ways of doing things, because,
if I’m being honest, everything
we’ve tried to do to change
that hasn’t worked,” Inspector
Waretini said.
“Some nights I’ll sit with my
kids, when we’re warm and
everyone’s home safe, knowing
there are a lot of kids out there
that aren’t. That women out there
are being victimised by their
partners, that men are in the grip
of meth or alcohol, and can’t find
a way out,” he said.
To truly turn the tide, police
had to be willing to do things
differently, he said.
When he began working as
young police officer 21 years ago,
he said seeing a criminal locked
up had felt like a victory.
“We were the good guys, they
were the bad guys, and it was
our job to protect the good
people from the bad people,” he
said.
But over the years, he had seen
that approach did not always
work to prevent crime long-term,
he said.
“The research tell us that when
people appear in court, whether
they have a community-based
sentence or prison, that starts a
cycle that is really hard to get out
of,” he said.

‘To make a change, we need to work in partnership’
•From page 10
A long-term solution began
with children, he said.
Many Christchurch children
were starting life disadvantaged,
he said, and if that could be
changed, he believed it would go
a long way.
“How can a child born today,
by the age of 25, be free of family
harm and of sexual abuse, live in
a healthy, secure environment,
have good mental health, have at
least NCEA Level 2 and a driver
licence,” he said.
That took a long time and the
help from the community to turn
around, he said.
And that was where the team
had seen victories.
Many programmes they have
worked with iwi and community
partners to develop have received
Government funding in the
past year – allowing them to do
more targeted work with people
like high-risk youth, children of
prisoners, and young people who
could not get a driver licence.
A string of convictions for
something like driving without
a licence could sometimes stem
from a simple problem, Inspector
Waretini said – he had come
across young people who hadn’t
got their driver licence because
they struggled to read.
CHANGE: Inspector Hirone Waretini and his team are working alongside Canterbury iwi to find
new ways to reduce crime and keep the community safe.

One of the biggest victories,
he said, had been building better
relationships between police and
the community.
He said there was now open
communication, and police were
regularly welcomed onto Canterbury
marae.
“Good relationships take a long
time, and they take commitment
and listening. Being married will
teach you that,” he said.
He said his team could be accused
of being “all hui, no do-ey”,
because so much of their work
was talk.
But he said even a conversation
over a cup of tea was important.
“A cuppa tea is like a job interview.
They’re sizing you up and
deciding if you’re someone they
can trust,” he said.
Senior Constable Jeff Martin
has seen it with a fresh perspective,
as he joined the team just
four months ago.
He had been impressed by
the things he had seen – like a
recent session at the marae-based
Rangatahi Court, where young
The Star
offenders were being sentenced.
The differences to the district
court in the central city were
subtle, but important, he said –
the young offenders stood and
gave a mihi, rather than standing
silent behind a sheet of glass, and
families were included in the
process rather than kept at the
back.
There was a sense of respect
there, and accountability to the
community, he said.
He has worked as a police
officer for 27 years, much of it
based in small communities like
Huntly and Cheviot, and most
recently on the beat at Cathedral
Square.
Everything he learned taught
him building trust and strong
relationships was vital to making
a change, he said.
Although the team had not
yet seen the changes they were
hoping for, they would not stop
working until they did, he said.
“We need to recognise we can’t
do this on our own. With the local
rūnanga we share many common
values, but for too long our
approach has been that we know
what the problems are, we know
what the solutions are, this is how
we will do it. To make a change,
we need to work in partnership,
and really listen,” he said.

Neil Pattinson
Good results for winemaker’s
Neil Pattinson and his wife Jill planted grapes on their
Charteris Bay property to see if they could make nice
wine. Now, more than 10 years on, Bridget Rutherford
speaks to him about producing award-winning wines
under the Whistling Buoy label
Whistling Buoy’s 2015 pinot
noir was named champion wine
at the Wines of Canterbury
awards. Were you expecting it?
Of course (laughs). I’m very
pleasantly surprised, we knew it
was a good wine. I was absolutely
thrilled we got a gold medal,
then actually won best match
with game so, to me, that was
reward enough. But to actually
then be named champion wine
of the competition at the very
end, that’s just the icing on the
cake.
What do you think made this
wine so good?
I think it’s a vintage, so it was a
really good year and the disease
pressure was relatively low. It was
also warm so it had all the right
elements. Obviously, you’ve still
got to put in a lot of viticulture
to manage the site. You’ve got to
get good air flow and good light
penetration. So I think it was
good vineyard management, it
was a good vintage, and then
taking really good fruit and
turning it into really exquisite pinot
noir. It’s all the elements that
make a really good wine. Our
winemaking is done up at Greystone
in Waipara, so we don’t
do it on site. So at harvest point,
it’s shipped up to Greystone. But
we do have lots of input on the
style we want and the amount of
oak and oak exposure and that
comes to the sorting of the fruit
and the whole process. It’s not
hands-off. This particular wine
has had 10 months on oak and
there’s new oak in that not just
old oak.
It’s the second year a wine
from Banks Peninsula has
taken out the award, isn’t it?
We got second last year.
Meniscus Wines in Akaroa were
the top pinot noir. The three top
pinot noirs got the top three in
that category – there was Meniscus,
Tussock Hill and ourselves.
Ours was the top chardonnay
last year. I think that’s the thing
about the peninsula, because
it’s on clay-based soil and pinot
noir does particularly well and
chardonnay grape does as well. If
you’re going to pick wine varieties
Banks Peninsula exemplifies,
it would be pinot noir, pinot gris
and chardonnay.
And being so close to the
water in Lyttelton Harbour, do
you still get any frosts?
We do right in the middle
of winter, but not during the
important growing season or the
early start to the year. In places
like Waipara and central plains,
you’ve got to have frost protection
and we don’t have to bother
with that. We have planted in
that French-style, the spaces
between vines and rows are quite
small. So it does mean it’s very
hard to mechanise and also we’re
on sloping sites, everything’s
done by hand. So part of that
is you’re in the vineyard all the
time, you’re constantly monitoring,
you’re constantly tuning, so
it’s a bit labour intensive, but it
means that labour of love transforms
into really good quality
fruit.
What were you doing before
you decided to put grapes in?
I’m a clinical biochemist by
training, so I worked at the
hospital for about 14 years. Ivan
Donaldson was starting up
Pegasus Bay at the time, I also
worked with a gastroenterologist
– Bruce Chapman – and they
own Terrace Edge; they put in
some olives and grapes later on.
So every medical conference
you go to – a lot are overseas
in beautiful places like France,

Wines of Canterbury awards.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Switzerland and Germany – then
obviously part in parcel with
that are the evening dinners and
concerts and, of course, they’re
all served with beautiful wine.
You couldn’t not have an interest
in wine.
When did you decide to put
in grapes?
We had about 2ha of land at
Charteris Bay and we had sheep.
We’d gone through the typical
lifestyle block, so we started with
sheep, then we had a goat, and
our daughter had a pony. Then I
thought, why not put vines in?
Did you ever think you would
get to this point where you have
award-winning wines?
Yes and no. The initial reality
was just: Can we grow some
good grapes and produce good
wine, mainly for our own
consumption and friends and
family? But certainly, when
you produce wine you want
it to be really good, you don’t
want people thinking, oh, Neil’s
bringing out his home brew
again. I didn’t want to make
rubbish wine, we did at that
time contract a really good
winemaker – Grant Whelan
from Kaituna Valley. So
basically, it was good grapes and
a really good winemaker and the
rest is history.
What do your kids do?
Tony is in Coolangatta (Gold
Coast). He’s just set up a pizzeria.
He’s been over there for six or
seven years. He started off in
Tasmania with a restaurant
called Restaurant Red, then
he came to Brisbane and met
his partner and now they’re in
Coolangatta. They are going to
have our wine at the restaurant.
Our daughter Kate is trained
as a teacher, and she’s working
at Manuwera Institute of
Technology as a departmental
manager. And our other son
Chris is a winemaker. He’s now
working for Sherwood Estate
in Waipara, I’m wanting him to
take charge of the half acre.

labour of love
So before you turned your
focus to Whistling Buoy,
where else had you been
working?
After the hospital, I joined
a biotechnology company
called Life Technologies,
then I became chief executive
of Canterbury Scientific. I
resigned from that a year
ago to focus on building the
brand and establishing a sales
network for Whistling Buoy.
But I chair the board of a start
up biotech company called
AuramerBio out of Victoria
University. And I’ve been
doing some consulting work
at Canterbury University for
the Canterbury Development
Corp. I’m just about to start a
job at ChristchurchNZ as its
senior advisor of innovation
and commercialisation.
You mentioned everything
is done by hand. Do you
have a bit of help to pick the
grapes?
It’s a social occasion. Here
at Kokolo, the picking, it’s
three consecutive days. We
have about 25 people and we
fill about 10 big 400kg bins.
We have a truck that comes
out and they get taken out that
night. After we sit outside, talk,
eat and drink – it’s a lot of fun.
I hear your wife Jill does a
lot of maintenance around
here?
She has her own mower,
which she loves to sit upon,
she gets upset if I jump on
the mower from time to time.
But we do use sheep up on
the vineyard, I do use the
mulching mower, but we have
sheep as well. David Carter,
our next-door neighbour,
brings his sheep in.
Do the sheep damage the
vines at all?
You’ve got to be careful.
There’s nothing on the vines
at the moment so they’ll just
chew up the grass. But during
the season, you don’t want
them on bud set, the only time
you really bring them in is
when you want to leaf pluck
so when you’ve got fruit set,
but the berries are really hard
and green. The leaves are
green they will probably
have a crack at one or two
bunches but they’ll think
that’s rubbish.
Do you hope to
expand Whistling
Buoy?
If we can successfully
establish the brand
and get a really good
route to market
then, yes, it would
certainly be quite
nice to build it. But
there’s a balance
there, too, you don’t
want to be so large you lose
your focus. Being boutique is
good.

Another rainy day
for saturated city
GET THOSE umbrellas out
again, another rainy day is on the
way for the city.
But the downpour is not expected
to reach the same levels
that flooded homes and caused a
state of emergency at the weekend,
MetService meteorologist
April Clark said.
Showers are due to begin later
this morning and will continue
throughout the rest of the day,
Ms Clark said.
“Once it comes in, it’ll be persistent
but it is not going to be as
heavy.”
MetService is keeping an eye
on the rain and is ready to put
a weather watch in place if that
changes.
Ms Clark said before
MetServive put a heavy rain
warning in place, the weather
system has to meet a criteria,
which this one does not look like
it will meet.
The city council is keeping a
wary eye on the weather.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel
said: “The forecast of further
rain from (today) . . . means the
situation is still changeable, but
we are working hard to minimise
any impacts by clearing flood
debris from rivers, sumps and
stormwater grates, and keeping
pumps deployed in Southshore
and Flockton.”
Christchurch is expected to
miss snow again. The low is only
expected to bring snow down to
400m in Canterbury on Friday,
Ms Clark said.
“(Today’s) really the worst day
and it’s an easing trend from
there,” she said.
Showers will become patchy
tomorrow, bringing a chilly but
relatively clear Saturday and a
fine Sunday.
The forecast next week is for
rain from Tuesday to Friday.

Women get into construction
IT WAS a rough end to the
school holidays for many in
Christchurch with homes,
businesses and streets under
water, or very close to it.
Sometimes it seems like our
city just can’t catch a break. But,
on the upside, we’ve got our
response down to a fine art.
The mayor declared a state of
emergency early; Civil Defence
acted quickly and decisively to
keep people and property out of
harm’s way; and the New Zealand
Defence Force, volunteers and
a whole host of other agencies
swung into action.
Those I’ve spoken to say last
week’s flooding was the worst in
decades and, unfortunately,
more rain is forecast for today.
While it’s not expected to be as
heavy, now’s a good time to replenish
the emergency kit, revise
your household evacuation plan
and check in with friends and
family.
The latest Greater Christchurch
Dashboard — Women in Construction
contains some really
positive news for Christchurch
and the rebuild/regeneration
process.
The number of women working
in both residential and
non-residential construction in
Canterbury has increased from
3400 in March 2010 to 7600 in
March 2017 — a 124 per cent
increase. More and more women
are embracing rebuild opportunities
by entering and succeeding
in this traditionally maledominated
industry. Women
can bring a fresh perspective,
Nicky Wagner
strengthen customer relations,
add diversity and improve business
performance.
The Stronger Christchurch
Infrastructure Rebuild Team,
which was responsible for
repairing Christchurch’s quakedamaged
infrastructure, proactively
encouraged women into
its workforce through the SCIRT
Women in Construction working
group. Between 2014 and 2015,
the number of women in crew
roles at SCIRT doubled from six
to 12 per cent.
With a skills shortage around
the country, it’s great to see more
women in construction — it
provides new opportunities for
women and their families, and it
makes good business sense, benefitting
Christchurch and New
Zealand economically.

Regeneration

We said:
Cameras and video
technology are being
investigated to accurately
count the number of red
light runners in the city.
You said:
Shaun Evans – They need to
change how the lights actually
filter the traffic. Most intersections
don’t even have a proper
right-turn filter. Honestly, I
can navigate my way through
London easier than Christchurch
and that’s a city with double the
population of NZ.
Ashleigh Bearman – Don’t
waste money installing cameras
to see if the problem “is that
bad.” It only takes one car running
a red light for potential
catastrophic results. Why not put
that money into a decent system
to catch the offenders.
Tony Winkworth Howell
– I see it all day, every day. The
sooner the cameras come in the
better. We could set up deck
chairs at intersections and cheer
each time the camera catches one.
Riccardo Ingrosso – Red
light-running is really bad. Bring
on the cameras.
Jamie Dermerm – It’s a
nightmare here in Christchurch.
Majority of drivers really have no
idea how to use roundabouts and
traffic lights.

Investing in education
VISITING LOCAL schools is one
of the things I love most about
my job.
Not only do you meet fantastic
parents, children and staff, but you
also get you a really good feel for
what is happening in local communities
and neighbourhoods.
Sometimes I’m also inspired
about the opportunities being
offered to our children. Education
is vital to making sure that all our
kids can achieve their potential.
The power of education to
transform lives has been embedded
in Labour’s heart since the
1930s.
The first Labour Government
not only built the welfare state
and houses; they also built an
education system that was available
to everyone regardless of
their bank balance. Universal and
free education was central to our
plan for the future.
Fast forward to today, and I am
concerned that the commitment
to free education is slipping away.
There is no doubt that parents
are being asked to stump up
for more and more of the costs
of education. Early Childhood
Education fees have risen by an
average of 25 per cent under National,
while so called voluntary
school donations have risen by 50
per cent. Tertiary fees are up over
40 per cent and student debt has
topped $16 billion.
This is why we have chosen to
invest in education rather than
dishing out $400 million in tax
cuts for the top ten percent of
earners.
We will invest an extra $4 billion
over four years to deliver a
modern education system. We
will ensure that schooling is
genuinely free by offering an extra
$150 per student to state and state
integrated schools that don’t ask
parents for donations.
By investing in education, the
next generation of Kiwis will be
better qualified and ready to take
on the rapidly changing world.
They will be equipped to help
build a better New Zealand.
•Megan Woods is Labour’s
Canterbury spokeswoman
Face up to more flooding
MY HEART goes out to those
whose homes were flooded on
the weekend.
I remember only too well in
2014 how vulnerable people felt
in the wake of two so-called “one
in 100-year” events that swamped
the Flockton area twice in a matter
of weeks, along with Heathcote
Valley and the lower reaches
of the Heathcote River.
This weekend was a reminder
that we haven’t fully recovered
from the earthquakes and there
is still much to be done. It’s true
that our Land Drainage Recovery
Programme involves hundreds of
millions of dollars, and it involves
a lot of planning and engineering
capacity both in terms of holding
back stormwater from the river
at peak flows and pumping water
away from the streets and properties
that line the river.
More importantly it involves
residents, as they want to be
involved in planning drainage
management.
I’m afraid we have to face up to
the reality that these events will
continue to increase in frequency
and severity. That’s what climate
change means and we are a
coastal city that has built in the
natural floodplains of our rivers.
The quake has also created a
particular vulnerability along the
Lianne Dalziel
eastern side of the estuary, with
the removal of red zone houses in
Southshore and a significant drop
in the land in South Brighton. We
have already asked council staff
to provide options for resolving
some of these issues and we are
expecting that report very soon.
The ‘red zoning’ along the
Avon River after the earthquakes
has actually saved us from having
to address those issues along the
Avon and in Brooklands. This
has also opened up new opportunities
for wetlands which can not
only provide more space for the
rivers, it can help clean stormwater
before entering the river.
The Heathcote River presents
a far greater challenge. Once the
ponding areas for storage are
completed in the upper reaches,
we will have capacity to store
800,000 cu m of stormwater, and
that will really help.
We will continue to work
through all the issues with the
communities that live in these
flood prone areas so good decisions
can be made.
As a footnote, I have just attended
the Local Government
New Zealand Conference and
was pleased that Christchurch
has been chosen to host next
year’s conference.
It not only means over 600
delegates coming to our city, it’s a
great opportunity to debate some
of the lessons learned from our
experience and the challenges we
all have to face.

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements
The Blind Care Company has been
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds
for over 60 years. Those six decades
have seen changes in both fashion and
technology. Styles have ranged from
festooned fabric swags to straightforward
and still popular holland roller blinds,
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,
and in every colour or pattern popular
since the 1960s.
Whatever your style, the Blind Care
Company has the expertise to keep your
window treatments looking fresh and
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue
can be removed so that your blinds
smell fresh and are restored to their
original glory. The company can repair
blinds also, having a huge range of parts
in stock. And if you want something
completely new, a great range of blinds is
available for purchase.
The company prides itself on efficient
service, providing a fast turn-around,
with most work taking one or two
days, and a same day cleaning option is
available. It makes it as easy as possible
for clients. The Cashel Street location
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup
and drop-off service is available. 150
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,
** The Best Clean and Shine EVERY TIME **
or one of their mobile vans can do up to
50 per day. That means they will come to
your home or office, remove and clean
your blinds on the spot and reinstall them
for you.
A cut-down and size alteration service
is available in order that the blinds you
bought are a perfect fit.
They are experts in their field with a
huge amount of experience to draw on.
In fact, all their staff has been on board
for at least 8 years, and many up to 20
years. Whatever the job involves, they
will work hard to make sure it gets done,
including one job of 800 blinds which
they completed in 4 days.

Rachel Vogan sings the
praises of sweet peas
– tough little bloomers
that can light up the
garden year-round
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
Thursday July 27 2017
Flowers that are as sweet as can be
WHENEVER I’M asked what
my favorite flower is, I struggle to
answer as I have so many.
It’s like asking which is your
favourite child – how do you
choose? My top picks always
include dahlias, gladioli, daphne,
and daisies; I am never without
roses or hellebores no matter
where I live, and every year
without fail I grow sweet peas
anywhere I can find room to
squeeze them in.
I’m not sure where my devotion
to them came from – my uncle
Teddy used to grow them in
French Farm in the 1970s, so
it may have been from there,
although I have always loved any
flower I can pick for a posy, and
have a special affection for any
bloom that will give someone joy
when they’re presented with it.
New Zealand has a strong
history with sweet peas, both
in terms of seed production
for English and European seed
catalogues and sweet pea breeding.
Dr Keith Hammett is the
godfather of sweet pea breeding;
he has a passion for these blooms
that just captivates you.
Keith’s interest in the sweet pea
started off as a teenager, when
his uncle decided he wanted to
separate his flower and vegetable
garden, doing so by planting a
dividing row of sweet peas. To
hear Keith recall it, it was love
at first sight. This love has only
continued throughout the years,
as sweet pea varieties bearing the
Hammett name are now sold all
over New Zealand and around the
world.
I first met him about 20 years
ago, and was struck by his
contagious keenness for both
breeding plants and creating
cultivars that fitted the local
New Zealand climate. I couldn’t
PACKED WITH PERFUME: High Scent (left) is tremendous
variety to plant. Sweet pea Bix (middle) and Pink Nines for the
show bench.
quite keep up with all the
different characteristics he was
producing and aiming for, but was
mesmerised and wanted to soak
up what I could, knowing that I
could stand to learn a lot from
him. So I sat and listened, barely
saying a word!
Fast forward a few decades
and every year I plant out dozens
of his varieties. My go-to is his
High Scent as it has got the
most magnificent fragrance, and
beautiful flowers with an antique
cream base and delicate violet
edging on each petal. One of its
best features is probably its prolific
blooming capacity, as once it starts
flowering in November I can be
picking it continuously until the
end of March, as long as I pick off
any spent flower seed pods along
the way, and make sure to fertilise
and water them regularly. Like me,
they love their tucker!
For the show bench I always
plant Piggy Sue (not to be
confused with Peggy Sue), named
after a pig rescued from farrowing
stalls. Its colouring is a pink flush
against a cream ground, with
young flowers that often resemble
a pink picotee when they first
open. Last year I planted Pink
Nines for the first time, which has
masses of flowers on each stem –
up to nine on each. Paradox has
an intense, rich, violet-blue flower
but has lost its ability to climb,
so is one you would plant as a
ground cover or for use in hanging
baskets.
Keith says all the sweet peas
he offers are great for picking,
reminding me that “Sweet peas are
the ultimate ‘cut and come again’
flower”, meaning that the more
you pick from the flower stems,
the more they will produce.
He goes on to mention: “The
ones with the larger, frilly flowers
have longer stems than, say, some
of the smaller flowered forms
with the strongest scent.” His
most highly-scented varieties are
Original, High Scent, More Scent,
and High Society.
WHEN, WHERE & HOW
• Plenty of sun needs to be
on the menu – while sweet peas
will bloom in half-day sun, the
results are always best when they
are planted somewhere that gets
rays all day.
• Sow seeds now or look
for seedlings, as they are in
the shops throughout August,
September and into October.
• Seeds can be sown directly
where they are to flower
provided the soil is well drained,
in a sunny position, and you
are able to protect against slugs,
snails and maybe birds.
• If sown into pots for
planting out later, seeds do
not need to be grown inside
or in the glasshouse, simply
sow and place outside in full
light.
• Provide support – sweet
peas are a tumbling vine and
need something to cling to when
climbing. This support can be
as simple as bamboo canes,
wigwams, or old bike wheels,
while netting against a fence or
wall is a popular choice.

BOOKS/ARTS I 2
Austin Mitchell’s new book Revenge of the
Rich The neoliberal revolution in Britain and New
Zealand, published by Canterbury University
Press, charts the development of a marketdriven
neoliberal creed, where governments
are devoted to efficiency, cost-cutting and
austerity at the people’s expense.
Many New Zealanders will remember
Mitchell’s best-selling book The
Half-Gallon Quarter-Acre
Pavlova Paradise (1972).
In this new, outspoken
opinion piece, Mitchell,
who was a long-serving
British Labour MP for
Grimsby, denounces the
economic policy of the
last three decades as “a
long march down Dead-
End Street” – a neoliberal
experiment that has
benefitted the rich and
eroded the “good society”
with its welfare state and
government commitment
to the betterment of the
people.
In Revenge of the Rich
Mitchell considers how
neoliberalism became government
policy in Britain and New Zealand and
discusses its consequences in terms of
greater inequality, lower growth and higher
unemployment. He believes this book
is the first to look at the rise and fall of
neoliberalism as the prevailing ideology in the
two countries where it was imposed “further
and faster” than in any others.
The role of the state was cut back and
power handed to the market, he says.
New book denounces
neoliberal policies
“In both countries industry declined, assets
were sold to survive and the social balances,
which had been tilted to the people after
the war, were tilted back to wealth. Taxes on
business and the rich fell as their share of
Gross Domestic Product increased. The result,
in each country, was a revolt of the people,
voting for proportional representation in New
Zealand to tie the hands of
the politicians and, much later,
voting for Brexit in Britain as
the people and the regions left
behind by the austerity said
‘enough is enough’.”
Mitchell says gaps between
the rich and the less well
off in both Britain and New
Zealand have been widened
over the three decades of
neoliberalism. Ultimately, he
would like readers to take
a hopeful message from the
book: “Things don't have to
be this way and alternative
policies become possible if
governments listen to the
people rather than follow
an ideology,” he says.
In the book’s foreword the Rt. Hon Helen
Clark, who was Prime Minister of New
Zealand 1999-2008 says: “Agree with it, or
disagree with it, love it or loathe it, Austin
Mitchell’s writing provokes us to reflect
on what our common future could be. It is
written in a lively fashion with highly quotable
turns of phrase.”

Healthy eating for kids
For parents and grandparents that face problems getting the youngsters in their family to
eat good, healthy food, or are unsure what are the right foods to offer them, the new book by
Christchurch dietitian Lea Stening provides plenty of helpful information.
Released on May 19 to coincide with Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day, which saw a global
focus on children’s nutrition and how children’s health can be
improved, Healthy Kids, Happy Lives helps parents and grandparents
to understand the nutritional components need to build structure
into a child’s diet, as well as the family’s.
It shows how to buy and prepare the right types of foods and
includes some easy-to-prepare recipes that show examples of
good nutrition.
A Food Ambassador for New Zealand, with more than 40
years’ experience in paediatrics and sports nutrition, Stening
is passionate about helping children improve their physical and
mental well-being and performance through better nutrition.

Arts Centre
restoration
The damage to the Christchurch Arts
Centre in the 2011 earthquake and its
subsequent closure has been distressing
for many of us who went there regularly to
enjoy its variety of facilities and activities –
often with visitors from out-of-town.
Thankfully, this unique complex is being
restored, so as time goes on we will be able
to enjoy it all again.
Christchurch photographer Johannes
van Kan has been documenting the Arts
Centre’s post-earthquake restoration
since 2013. His limited edition, behind-thescenes
photographs of the Arts Centre’s
restoration are featured in the first
exhibition at the Christchurch Arts Centre’s
new exhibition space, Pumanawa, which is
located in the restored Boys’ High building
on Worcester Boulevard.
Called Restore, the exhibition of these
spectacular, large-format images opens on
July 26, and they will be for sale, with all
proceeds going towards the restoration of
the Arts Centre. More than half of the Arts
Centre restoration is now complete but the
remainder of this painstaking work cannot
be finished unless another $35million is
fundraised, says fundraising manager Susan
Henson.
“Johannes is one of Christchurch’s leading
photographers and we are grateful that
he has donated his skills and captured the
restoration in such an artistic manner – the
images can only be described as stunning,”
she says.
“The Arts Centre is a unique historical
treasure in Canterbury and these
photographs give a very special insight into
the care and attention that has gone into
saving it for future generations. This is a
chance for individuals and corporates to
purchase their own slice of our city’s history
while at the same time helping to ensure
that this incredibly important restoration is
completed.”

Photographer Johannes van Kan with one of
his artworks.
Following Restore, Pumanawa – which
means natural talent – will be available
for hire on a weekly basis by artists,
photographers, designers and members of
other creative organisations at a cost of
$300 plus GST.
Ms Henson says the bright and lofty
upper-floor exhibition space has been
especially designed for community use.
“The high-vaulted ceiling, meticulously
restored paintwork and woodwork, and
natural light make it a perfect space to
exhibit. It’s also within close proximity to
other art establishments in the central city.”
Offering the space to artists and artsfocused
community groups at an affordable
rate perfectly aligns with the Arts Centre’s
goal of fostering arts, culture, education
and creative industries in the heart of
Christchurch, says Arts Centre CEO André
Lovatt.
“Our day-to-day focus is restoring these
unique historic buildings, but the driving
force behind it is to create a home for
creative entrepreneurs in the heart of the
city. We’re determined to be more relevant
to our community than we have ever been
and this is another way of achieving this.”
Inquiries about making a booking can be
made at www.artscentre.org.nz/hire
Restore runs daily From July 26 until
August 6, 10am–5pm.

3 I NEW DIRECTIONS
A new career after 50
Alistair Hazeldine
industry. I loved the interaction with my 40
staff, their customers and the suppliers that
help a business function, but towards the end
I felt that it had become repetitive. To put it
this way, I felt like I was someone who loved
climbing mountains, but that I had climbed
every mountain numerous times and therefore
it had lost some of its challenge.
After taking six months away from work,
I undertook a computer course at ARA as a
step towards getting back into the discipline
of getting up early (attending the 8am course)
and being committed to achieving something
worthwhile. (I would recommend this to
anyone). Computer knowledge is essential and
without it, your confidence will suffer.
I chose real estate as my new career as it
allowed me to continue to meet people and
most importantly for me, to assist them in
making decisions and being a part of things
that affect their lifestyle. I selected Harcourts
Grenadier as the company I wished to work
with due to their outstanding reputation in the
market and the strong brand values they stand
for. I felt that with starting a new career, it was
significant to select a company that had a high
market presence and one that had moral values
I could relate to. Selling real estate is different
from selling motor vehicles, as with motor
vehicles stock was easier to obtain, whereas in
real estate it’s all about getting something to
sell, i.e. a listing.
What have been the challenges,
the impact on your family and
your lifestyle, and what have
been the rewards?
I have to say that the earthquakes affected
my ability to function in unexpected ways. Our
family home in Sumner became unlivable, as it
was hit by a boulder, and we were ‘white zoned’
for nearly three years, meaning that life seemed
to stand still. This is still very hard to describe,
but if there has been a benefit, it is that I have
a deeper understanding of the value of family
and especially the loving support of my wife.
Everyone’s circumstances and experiences due
to the earthquakes are unique and I am grateful
that for us, things could have been worse.
Coming from a senior position in an industry
that I knew ‘inside out’ and starting fresh is
challenging. It feels awkward to find yourself
asking a lot of questions (and there is a lot
to learn), where once you were the person
giving the answers. That said, you are the only
one feeling this way so you have to put these
feelings aside.
Real estate involves weekend work but this
hasn’t affected my voluntary role with the
Canterbury Rugby Football Union as a grade
advisor for under-8 rugby, as this occupies
Saturday mornings, leaving the afternoons free
for open homes. My wife loves biking and we
are often away at the same time, and with
all of our five children having grown up and
left home, my responsibilities as a father have
changed slightly and I don’t need to be at home
as often as I did when the kids were younger.
What advice would you give
anyone thinking about changing
career after the age of 50?
Remember that you are in control of your
destiny and that changing a career at any age
will ‘throw up’ concerns, but you must firmly
believe that ‘anything is possible’ if you truly
want it.
Go for it, and remember there’s no prize for
staying in a job or role when it’s not inspiring
you. This will naturally be different from
person to person, but in my case, I need to be
challenged.
Redundancy, a move to a new town, or just
the desire for a new direction can mean a
change of career in middle age and beyond,
which can be both daunting and exciting.
Forward 50 talks to Alistair Hazeldine, who was
57 when he decided to make the move from
vehicle sales to real estate, about why he did it,
and how it has changed his life.
Are you from Christchurch?
Although I have lived in several parts of New
Zealand, Christchurch is home and it is exciting
to see the improvements around the city as the
rebuild continues.
What work were you involved in
previously and for how long?
I had been in the motor industry since
PHONE 354 5616
108 Sawyers Arms Rd, Papanui, Christchurch
leaving high school and working in Christchurch
for the same company for 34 years – in vehicle
sales for seven years, sales management for 11
years and dealer principal for the last 15 years.
In that time I had seen and participated in a
wide variety of changes and always understood
that adaptability is a key to keeping ahead. I
always wish to maintain an open mind and
accept change as inevitable and believe that you
are better to go with change than waste a lot
of energy trying to object to it. Good times
don’t last, but nor do bad times either, and if
you keep moving forward and don’t dwell on
anything for too long, it’s best.
Why did you decide to take up
a new career, and why did you
choose real estate?
I really enjoyed my time in the motor

Have you thought about what care you
want to receive when you reach the end of
your life? During the course of our lives
we expend an enormous amount of energy
planning where we want to live, what we want
to achieve during our lifetimes, but we don’t
give much time or thought to what we would
like to happen at the end of our lives.
If you have a major health event that robs
you of the ability to make your wishes known
to your family, or to the health professionals
responsible for your care, taking some time
now to discuss what you want at the end of
your life will provide vital guidance if your
loved ones have to make those decisions for
you.
An Advance Care Plan or Advance Directive
(“Advance Care Plan”) is a way to help you
communicate to your loved ones your wishes
about your future health care. It will help your
loved ones and your health care providers
to understand what is important to you and
what treatment you do or do not want in the
event that you are unable to communicate
with those around you.
Under the Code of Health and Disability
Services Consumers’ Rights you have the right
to use an Advance Care Plan to make your
health care wishes known. Examples might be
the desire not to receive blood transfusions,
be resuscitated or kept alive with the use of
life support systems.
The code gives a person, who has capacity
to make decisions for themselves, the right to
make an Advance Care Plan. However, you
should be aware that at present an Advance
Advanced
Care Plans
Care Plan has no specific statutory status in
New Zealand and is therefore not enforceable
at law and may not be followed.
When deciding on whether to follow
your Advance Care Plan, your health care
professional will try to ensure that:
• You had capacity at the time the Advance
Care Plan was made;
• You made your Advance Care Plan of your
own free will;
• You were informed and understood the
decisions you were making; and your
Advance Care Plan applies to the current
circumstances, whatever they may be.
The trickiest part of an Advance Care Plan
may be discussing your wishes with your
loved ones. Many of us don’t like to give
much thought to the decisions we may be
called on to make should our loved ones be ill
and unable to communicate their wishes.
Talking about your Advance Care Plan with
your loved ones is an important conversation
and should be an integral part of your estate
planning. Sharing your wishes will give you
all peace of mind in knowing that should the
worst come to pass you will have equipped
your loved ones with the information they
need to make the right decisions for you.
At Harmans we have experience dealing
with estate planning and can help you to
formalise your wishes. Give Fleur McDonald
a call on 03 352 2293 to arrange an
appointment to discuss your situation.

A new approach to achieving
health & fitness
The role of genetics, and how it relates to people’s nutrition, exercise and health is an absolute
game changer when it comes to Kiwis improving their lives, a leading New Zealand exercise
expert says.
ExerciseNZ chief executive Richard Beddie says the science of genetics has been around for
some time, but the ability to measure it cheaply and easily is quite new.
“Only recently have we begun to understand how important genetics is when it comes to
people’s health. No longer is science saying what is best for everyone but rather what is best for
each person based on genetic make-up,” Mr Beddie says.
Health professionals and exercise professionals can now use tools to provide info on their
client’s genetic make-up, and more importantly, what this means for their exercise, nutrition and
general wellness needs.
“The key thing is understanding different genetic types respond differently and have different
needs. So we now have the tools so that exercise and nutrition can be structured for optimum
health in a way that is most enjoyable, based on a person’s genetic make-up.
“Some people are built for short, sharp bursts of energy and these same people respond well
to a competitive environment. Some people, on the other hand, need slower, strength-based
activities. There are others who prefer to work out alone and they may respond well to light
weights or yoga or moderate steady exercise.
“We know that, if considered a sport, exercise continues to be the number-one sport in New
Zealand, having more participants than rugby, netball and cricket combined.
“There are currently an estimated 550,000 members of gyms and exercise facilities alone. But
exercise is now just one of the many components to wellness. Many providers of exercise now
offer far more holistic products and services, from dietary advice, to stress management.
“Genetic profiling tools support this by proving detailed information that exercise professionals
can then use to coach better health and wellness outcomes. Research confirms all this.”
Mr Beddie says last month one of the world experts in the genetic fitness approach, Dr
Cam McDonald, toured New Zealand with ExerciseNZ, bringing the latest research and best
implementation to more than 250 exercise professionals around the country.
He says no longer is science saying what is best for everyone, but rather what is best for the
individual, based on their genetic make-up. And not just that, what is best for one person right
now, may be different when they age.
“So we see the need for genetics and timing to be optimal for a person to reach their best
health. Health and exercise professionals can now use tools to provide information on their
client’s genetic make-up and, more importantly, what this means for their exercise, nutrition and
health,” Mr Beddie says.

On January 1, 2011, the rules governing work-related hearing loss covered by ACC changed.
Prior to this date, all rehabilitative costs, for example hearing aids, were covered by ACC
irrespective of the degree of hearing loss attributable to work-related causes.
ACC now makes a contribution or part payment towards the cost of hearing aids purchased by
the claimant, provided the work-related component of their total hearing loss is six per cent or
greater.
Further to this a correction is made from about the age of mid-50s onwards to take into
account the effects of ageing on hearing loss as we get older.
Many individuals make their ACC claim for work-related hearing loss too late in life, where the
effects of age push them under the six per cent threshold and their claim is declined.
Therefore, it is prudent to make your claim for work-related, or industrial hearing loss as it
also known, sooner rather than later, thus improving your chances of success and the claim being
accepted.
ACC will pay for the running costs of your hearing aids, i.e. batteries, and will make a
contribution to any repair your aids may need outside the manufacturer’s warranty period.
In summary, ACC will allow you to ‘top-up’ to purchase the hearing aids of your choice that are
compatible with your hearing loss, lifestyle and budget.
Under the present regulations ACC will consider replacing your ACC-funded hearing aids every
six years.
“It is important to make your ACC application now, do not put it off, as time will work against
you,”, audiologist Greg Foote says.
If you are not satisfied with your present hearing aids, provider, require more information or
wish to investigate making a claim for work-related hearing loss, make an appointment for a free
no obligation consultation with Merivale Hearing Clinic.

Benefits of yoga
more than physical
Mind-body practices such as yoga have been around for a long
time. In fact yoga can be dated back over 5000 years.
In more recent times yoga has become more accepted in the
mainstream, with exercise options in this area increasing. This
includes a big surge not just in mainstream exercise facilities, but
also standalone studios offering specialist mind-body exercise
options.
According to New Zealand national yoga advocate and teacher
Persephone Singfield, “As yoga becomes more diverse in what is
on offer, more people can easily access it. No matter your age,
gender, body shape or size, there’s a form of yoga out there for
you. Yoga has become more accessible by different brands creating
styles of yoga practice for every market.”
There is plenty of research to indicate that getting your heart
rate up and working with heavier weights and intensities is
beneficial. Equally, there is understanding on the other side that
indicates the inclusion of more gentle, mindful exercise practices
can also have positive effects on health and exercise levels.
For many, the option of intense workouts is not appropriate.
When injury, ability or life stage prevents high-intensity activity,
a mind-body workout such as yoga is essential to staying active.
Those who do enjoy a more intensive exercise workout are also
finding the addition of a more focused workout amongst their
higher-intensity session adds to their exercise enjoyment, and
their results.
Mind-body refers to a state where interactions and connections
are made between your mind, your body and the world. Generally
speaking, a mind-body exercise form is one in which the pace is
slow enough for this connection to be focused on. That’s not to
say there isn’t a sense of being connected on a run or during a
weights session, but this is not the main focus of the activity.
The benefits of yoga go beyond the physical, although this is
one of its attractions as part of an exercise routine. The main
physical benefits relate to the stretching component, bringing
benefits such as reduced muscle tension, improved range of
movement in the joints, better muscular co-ordination and
increased circulation of the blood to the body.
Where yoga really becomes the star of the show, however, is
in its stress-reducing and relaxation benefits. With people living
busier lives, constantly connected to stimulation and data even
during downtime, the need for consciously created mindfulness
becomes more important. It is an opportunity to slow down and
connect, with mind and body.
“I often say to my students that we are losing touch with how
to live a simple life and that’s putting our health and happiness
at risk,” Persephone says. “Carving out time to practise yoga
leverages our downtime massively. For example, the difference
between taking time out to breathe and connect versus watching
TV to blob out is huge when it comes to our overall well-being.
“My students report significant changes in their lives as a result
of attending the yoga course. They sleep deeper, they are happier,
less stressed, and are practising the tools that yoga gives them
throughout each and every day. Overall they are more connected
to living a meaningful life.”
While the injury and health risks associated with more gentle
mind-body practices are lower than those of a higher-impact or
intensity workout, keeping safe and exercising at a level that is
suitable for you is just as important.
The first sign that you are in the right place to get a safe and
effective mind-body workout is that the instructor or facility does
an activity pre-screen to make sure there are no risks, or things
to think about before starting that would indicate participation is
a risk.
Secondly, the teacher or instructor should offer modifications
throughout the class to enable all participants to achieve at the
right level.
From October 2017, the New Zealand Register of Exercise
Professionals (REPs) will be recognising yoga teachers through
their new Registered Yoga Teacher registration level. Those
registered at this level will hold relevant knowledge and skill to
deliver safe and effective yoga to New Zealanders.

7 I Travel
It’s all about the journey
Our last night together at El Nacional
restaurant
By Chris Lyons, Director and Tour Host, World Journeys
If group travel conjures up images of hordes of tourists following a guide with a megaphone,
think again! Small group travel today can be the ultimate way to travel to some of the world’s
most exciting, challenging and exotic countries. I am in the enviable position of hosting small
groups of Kiwi travellers each year to the likes of South America and Africa, and can honestly
say it’s the way to go!
You may not have friends who share your particular ‘bucket list’ of travel desires, but you
don’t like travelling alone. Perhaps tackling a foreign language is too daunting, or you simply
don’t have the energy to do it all yourself. Booking a small group tour takes care of all of that.
There is company to share the experiences with, all the nitty gritty details are taken care of by
someone else, and your host is there to smooth the way should anything unexpected happen.
World Journeys creates and operates a range of small group tours each year, selecting our
most-loved destinations such as the game parks of Southern Africa, the beauty and traditions
of Japan, and the epic ports of the Mediterranean. Some of these journeys include a cruise –
whether that be Holland America Line in the Med, or a small ship in the Galapagos Islands.
Other journeys take roads less travelled, such as our itinerary in still-developing Madagascar
(perfect for avid travellers!).
The Wonders of South America group
at Machu Pichu
New for 2018 is a ‘Croatia & Slovenia’ journey, which has a little taste of Venice and Mostar
thrown in. There is so much to savour – the karst caves of Postojna, the castles of Predjama and
Bled, picturesque open-air markets, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historic churches, palaces
and bridges as well as the spectacular Plitvice Lakes National Park. A highlight for many will
be the small ship cruise along the Adriatic Coast, visiting some of the most beautiful Croatian
Islands. Wine and food tasting along the way gives you a true glimpse of local life.
In fact, food and wine is always a highlight of our travel, and we often include a farewell dinner
at a ‘hidden gem’ favourite restaurant enjoyed only by those ‘in the know’.
Most of all, I love the conviviality of travelling in, and hosting, a small group. There’s always
company if you want it, or time to do your own thing every now and then. And every person
brings something to the mix. There may be a keen photographer in the group, who you can
follow to get the best shots, or a fashionista, who will call upon my haggling skills to buy
jewellery or textiles in the markets.
Many lifelong friendships have been forged on tour, and many return again to travel with us in
subsequent years.
Travel is all about the journey, but it’s also about sharing the experience, and that’s the beauty
of travelling with a group.

Taking care of our skin during the winter
months is important to keep it looking
good. Forward 50 asks Dermal Therapist &
Micropigmentation specialist Pip McGregor
of Making Faces NZ about combatting winter
conditions and how to maintain that healthy
glow throughout the year.
We know winter can have
adverse effects on our skin, so
what are the main issues we have
to deal with?
New Zealand winters can wreak havoc
on the skin, mainly due to the constant
exposure to heat pumps and air-conditioning
that dries the skin out. Also, the crisp, dry
Skin care
in the cooler
months
air and extremes in temperatures of going
from a toasty house to a cold car are the
perfect conditions for broken capillaries. These
combined with the fact that we don’t tend to
drink as much water in winter and many of us
bypass the sunscreen – all of these factors can
lead to less than glowing skin in winter.
How should we address those
issues?
While many of these issues are
environmental there are definitely ways to
combat dry, irritable winter skin. Try to keep
temperatures moderate in your home and
avoid long, hot showers. Drinking warm water
with a squeeze of lemon is a great start to the
day for your body and your skin will love you

for it! A barrier cream is really important to
prevent lipid depletion when you are outside
in the elements, as is a good sunscreen –
which is easy to forget in winter! Your skincare
programme should be tailored to winter
weather and if your skin still feels dry, see
your skin specialist for some hydrating winter
facials.
Apart from seasonal factors,
ageing also affects our skin,
so what ongoing care, including
factors like diet, would you
recommend to keep our skin
looking fresh and youthful for
as long as possible?
The skin is our largest organ – the healthier
you are on the inside the nicer it will look
on the outside. It is important to treat the
skin holistically, so not only from the outside
in but also from the inside out. A good
vitamin C internal supplement is essential
as the body cannot make collagen without
adequate vitamin C. I also advise plenty of
good fats in the diet and a good-quality omega
supplement to prevent ageing. Combine these
with a lowered sugar intake – sugar causes
glycation (fine wrinkles) in the skin and excess
consumption can cause premature ageing.
Are there any particular types
of skincare products for our face
and body that will work best on
an ongoing basis?
From the science I have seen on the subject
the best products available topically for
ageing have either ascorbic acid or vitamin C,
retinol or alpha hydroxy acids. It is important
that they are used correctly so get some
advice before self-medicating. There are huge
advancements in the skincare industry with
stem cell therapy so watch this space… and
never ever forget your sunscreen!
Serums are now widely promoted
as being a key factor in skincare.
Do your recommend them and if
so, what role do they play?
Serums are important in a good skincare
prescription, but again they must be used
correctly. To increase the absorption of a
serum you must have an adequately cleansed
skin, and it is best to use serums at night
when cell turnover and regeneration occur. A
good serum is like a high-dose, concentrated
supplement for your skin – it will enhance
your routine but it won’t replace it.
Advertisements for a range of
different skincare products
claim they will reduce wrinkles
and restore elasticity – can they
really do that?
My advice is read the fine print. So many
adverts for over-the-counter products for
big corporates will make bold claims that I
believe to be little more than clever marketing.
Therapeutic brands you buy over the counter
have very strict guidelines on the depth
they are allowed to penetrate to in the skin
– thereby not affecting the skin structure
in the slightest. Note that companies say,
“reduce the appearance” of wrinkles – not the
actual wrinkle. Sometimes those horrifically
expensive, beautifully packaged creams are
little more than just beautiful bottles designed
to smell and feel luxurious. I like to see the
science behind a product rather than the
packaging – find an expert who you trust
because it can be a minefield of information
out there!
Is regular exfoliation important,
and how often should it be done?
I recommend a gentle enzyme exfoliant
rather than a manual exfoliant (e.g. beads,
husks, anything rough). Enzyme exfoliates
slough away dead skin cells only – think of it
like Pacman on the surface of the skin. While
the rough exfoliates can feel good at the
time and super smooth straight afterwards,
they can cause microscopic abrasions on the
skin, which will actually make it rougher the
following day. Alpha hydroxy acids, papain,
bromelain and vitamin C have enzymatic
exfoliant properties that can be gentle enough
to be used every day. This gives you a glow and
also allows for greater penetration of serums
and moisturisers.
If there was one product or
procedure that we should always
use to maintain healthy, glowing
skin, what would that be?
For an anti-aging treatment, I can’t go past
micro needling – the research and the results
speak for themselves – combined with a good
homecare system of course. There is no point
in spending money on facials, then to use
poor-quality products at home. It’s what you
do every day that really makes a difference to
your skin. Oh, and sunscreen – your mum was
right about sunscreen!

Plenty of diversity for movie
lovers at 2017 NZIFF
The Christchurch leg of the 2017 New
Zealand International Film Festival (NZIFF)
runs from August 3-20, and once again there is
a diverse selection for movie lovers to get their
teeth into.
There are plenty of international offerings to
select from, but one with a strong local flavour
is Human Traces. Filmed in the South Island over
25 days, the film is written and directed by
Christchurch-raised Nic Gorman, who was part
of the Court Theatre’s improv group in the city
for eight years before moving to Wellington in
2004.
Human Traces stars Sophie Henderson
and Mark Mitchinson as a husband-and-wife
scientist team sent to rid a Subantarctic
island of pests. When a mysterious young man
(played by Vinnie Bennett, who attended Aranui
High’s drama academy) arrives at the remote
research station, secrets threaten the couple’s
relationship in a hostile wilderness, 750km
south of New Zealand. The film was shot in
two South Island locations, Banks Peninsula and
the Catlins.
“I’ve long been fascinated by the dark history
of Subantarctic islands,” Gorman says.
“Our fictional location is loosely based
on Campbell Island. I was researching its
geography and the upper slopes of Campbell
Island reminded me of Banks Peninsula with
its tussock spurs, volcanic rocks and sharp
outcrops. We amalgamated this location with
the rugged and dramatic coastline of the
Catlins to create our island on the screen.”
The film’s cinematographer, John
Chrisstoffels, has been teaching filmmaking
at the University of Canterbury for about 25
years. About half the crew is from Christchurch,
including producer Nadia Maxwell and
production designer Martin Gorzeman.
The World Premiere will be held on the
second night of the Festival on August 4 at the
Isaac Theatre Royal.
The festival line-up also includes eight New
Zealand-made documentaries. New Zealand
artists, artisans, extreme sportspeople and
energetic adventurers will be celebrated on
screen with highlights including Head Like a
Hole receiving the biopic treatment in Swagger
of Thieves, 40 years of gay history as told
through personal interviews in 100 Men, and
the life’s work, and approach to life, of Swissborn
contemporary jeweller Kobi Bosshard in
Kobi.

Sheila, in which his cousin, writer and illustrator
Sheila Natusch, retraces a long life dedicated
to sharing her understanding and love of New
Zealand’s nature and history.
The life story of this natural historian,
illustrator and writer, now in her 90s, is a
beautiful, truly Antipodean journey. Born in
1926 on Rakiura (Stewart Island) to the Traill
family, Sheila’s early childhood memories
include a near-drowning at the hands of
schoolmates – this and other life misfortunes
she shrugs off casually. Growing up in the
deep south led to an adventurous resilience,
which saw her climb multiple mountains, cycle
from Picton to Bluff and write dozens of
groundbreaking natural history books, including
her magnum opus, Animals of New Zealand.
Produced by Christine Dann and featuring
beautiful historic footage of the lower
south in the 1930s and ’40s, this film offers
fascinating glimpses into life as one of few
female students at Otago University, and
covers Sheila’s friendship with Janet Frame and
their subsequent and unsuccessful foray into
teaching.
A move to Wellington in the ’50s saw Sheila
and husband Gilbert Natusch take up residence
in Owhiro Bay, while she had professional stints
at the National Library and Correspondence
School.
Viewers will love this radiant, defiant and
unconventional life story which ranges from
the southern wilds to the rugged Wellington
coastline, where Sheila still lived until very
recently, without car, TV, lipstick or alcohol,
planning to “get the last bit of fun out of life
that there is”. - Jo Randerson

BY ROSS KIDDIE
If you’ve been thinking about buying a small,
trendy hatchback but have been struggling to
find one which has easy entry and egress then
Hyundai has the car for you.
As its nomenclature suggests the i20 Cross
is based on the i20 hatchback, but it is a car
that has had the suspension raised 20mm so
that it sits taller from the road and makes
getting in and out far from a chore.
The i20 Cross also gets a lot of cosmetic
enhancements, there’s a body kit, big wheels
and roof rails, which make it stand a world
apart from the cheeky wee hatchback it is
based on. In fact, if you use your imagination
you could also look at the i20 Cross and think
that it was a downsized sport utility vehicle, it
looks muscular.
That’s a good marketing ploy by Hyundai.
SUVs are the big movers in the market today
and the i20 Cross certainly looks the part,
yet it gets about its business with all of the
functionality of the car it is based on.
Under the bonnet sits a 1.4-litre, twincamshaft,
16-valve engine. Hyundai rates
it with a 7k4kW power output, along
with 134Nm of torque. Consequently, it
is no powerhouse, but it does get about
its business, unflustered and in a smooth
operating manner.
It is also a fuel miser. When I picked the car
up, it was a little low on fuel but the salesman
said it was good for the distance, and even
though I took it back almost empty I did
cover enough kilometres to form a thorough
evaluation.
According to the manufacturers, the i20
Cross gets a 6.7l/100km (42mpg) combined
cycle average. During my three days with the
car it was constantly listing around 8l/100km
(35mpg) which was mostly recorded at
highway speed, also returning a 6.2l/100km
(45mpg) instantaneous figure at 100km/h, the
engine turning over quite busy at 2700rpm.
The latter figure is significant because the
i20 Cross drives out through a four-speed
automatic gearbox. Regular readers will relate
to my many comments that the more gears
you have, the smoother the transition of drive
and the easier the engine operates.
A recent photo
of Sheila Natusch,
now in her 90s
Four-speed gearboxes are used only rarely
these days and I’m surprised Hyundai hasn’t
given the i20 one of those fabulous sixspeeders
it has in other models. That aside,
the engine is honest but there are times when
as a driver you are wishing it would change
down or up, but distance between gears
doesn’t always suit the power outputs.
Under acceleration, the wee 1.4-litre engine
works hard to provide an 11sec standstill to
100km/h time, along with a 8sec time to make
120km/h from 80km/h.
It must be remembered, though, that the
i20 Cross isn’t designed to be a hard charger
and for its role it is quiet and capable, and the
engine is a delight, it enjoys working the entire
rev band.
I didn’t take the test car far, but I did put
it through a couple of challenging corners
and I can report it feels delightful through
the steering and has control and balance not
ordinarily expected to be in a car which is
priced for the budget market ($29,990).
The suspension is a mix of struts up
front and a tube beam rear axle system. The
spring and damper rates are set a little on
the firm side, not so much that the ride is
compromised but the benefit is in the way
it arrests body movement in a corner. Even
though it sits tall, body movement is gentle,
not awkward.
Grip is supplied by high-quality Pirelli
Cinturato tyres (205/45 x 17in) and, as
mentioned, they are an inch bigger in
diameter than the standard i20 and they
contribute to the strong steering feel and
sharp corner turn-in. I was quite delighted
with the way the i20 Cross handles, it is quite
purposeful.
In terms of in-cabin detailing, Hyundai has
certainly upped the ante in terms of quality
plastic and trim elements. The switchgear is
beautifully made and the appointment is firstclass.
When I took the car back to the dealership
I inquired about price, and even though
almost $30k is on the ticket, there may be
some movement from that through Hyundai
New Zealand. That being the case it may
tempt in more ways than one.

Wisdom in a grandparent’s
life of meals
Smoked fish and broccoli pasta
This is a tasty adaptation of a recipe used in Te Kohanga Reo O Ngaio in Wellington
with great success. The children there love it. Grown-ups will love it too.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp white flour
1½ cups low fat milk
50g Edam cheese, grated
250g dried pasta, farfalle or penne
1 head broccoli florets
1 tsp canola oil
½ red onion, diced
2 tbsp capers, drained, rinsed
4 cloves garlic, crushed
175g smoked fish, flaked
2 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup parsley, chopped
DIRECTIONS
Cheese sauce
In a saucepan fry the flour with the first measure of canola oil until it begins to colour.
Gradually add the milk, mixing thoroughly to disperse the lumps.
When all the milk has been added bring to a gentle simmer and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir through the grated cheese.
Set aside.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling unsalted water until al dente.
Remove the pasta from the pot and set aside.
Bring the water back to the boil and cook the broccoli until just cooked.
While the pasta and broccoli are cooking prepare the smoked fish by flaking it.
Gently sauté the onions and capers in the second measure of canola oil until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Remove from the heat and stir through the smoked fish, lemon juice and parsley.
To finish the dish, gently stir together the pasta with the broccoli, white sauce and smoked fish
mix.

By Janice Bremer,
Consulting Dietitian, Christchurch
As you tidy up after your usual breakfast of
porridge, you brush away the odd brown sugar
crystal from your table napkin.
“Nana I don’t want you to die!” declares
granddaughter, who has stayed the night.
“I am not dying”.
“Yes you are, you ate sugar!”
So what did granddaughter eat for breakfast?
Well nothing. She went to the fridge for a glass
of milk. Yours was “trim” for your high LDLcholesterol,
kilos to lose, Dad dying of a heart
attack and Mum having breaking bones. “That’s
got too much sugar”, she says.
“There’s no sugar added to milk!” you say. You
show her the ingredient listing on the carton :
“Ingredients: Fresh, low-fat milk”.
No sugar there. She’s not convinced.
Fussing over a gram of sugar
Off to the internet with your little master
mathematician you go. That trim milk proves
to have 40 per cent fewer kilojoules (less
fattening), 90 per cent less animal saturated
fat (to lower LDL-cholesterol), 10 per cent
more protein and 14 per cent more calcium
(both needed for older health), than its full-fat
counterpart. It had a mere extra 0.2 grams of
natural milk sugar (lactose), no difference at all.
On the label of your wholegrain bread, she also
found one gram of sugar in a slice (to start the
yeast) – a mere speck!
A dash of sugar for flavour hurts no one.
Foods oozing in added sugars – sweet bakery,
desserts, sweets, sugary drinks and chocolate,
are the sugary spoilers of top health eating.
The World Health Organisation and American
Heart Association say limit added sugars to less
than two tablespoons (five to six teaspoons)
of added sugar a day for healthy kids and
adults, but Diabetes NZ halves this amount for
diabetes, which is also right for weight control.
Finding natural enough
Next on granddaughter’s food patrol is your
LDL-cholesterol-lowering margarine-spread.
“Ooh”, she says, “that’s black coming out of
the ground; it’s a bleached chemical-like plastic.”
Another ingredient check finds – water,
sunflower oil, canola oil, gelatin, salt, plant sterol,
soy lecithin, milk powder, food acid, betacarotene
(natural vitamin for colour) – it’s all
food. Not a chemical name in sight. The plant
sterol is for extra LDL-cholesterol lowering,
the gelatin and soy lecithin contribute texture,
the food acid protects it from spoiling, and the
colour is natural vitamin. All grown by nature.
The fats we really need for life and health,
and especially heart health, are in highest
concentrations in plant foods – liquid oils, nuts,
seeds, avocado and liquid oil-based, margarinestyle
spreads. We do not need separable animal
fat (dairy cream, meat fat, chicken skin) because
we make animal fat ourselves. Yet the lean and
low fat parts of animal foods do carry nutrients
we need. Fat has highest kilojoules per gram of
all foods, and like added sugars, can be rapidly
overeaten before our bodies signal that we
are full. Animal fat and added sugar are logical
targets for losing weight.
Research shows that eating high intakes of
animal fats together with low vegetable and fruit
intakes are linked to heart attacks compared
with eating plant oils in place of animal fat, with
high amounts of fruit and vegetables with some
wholegrains, dried beans, nuts and fish.
Out-eating our pills
Latest New Zealand stats reveal that 75 per
cent of 45 to 75 year-olds are ‘overweight’,
increasing our heart, diabetes and osteoarthritis
risks, and driving us into inactivity.
Numbers of us using LDL-cholesterollowering
meds, blood pressure meds, or
diagnosed type 2 diabetes or osteoarthritis,
all double from the 45-54 years age group to
the 55-64 age group. And that’s only counting
those diagnosed. Despite half of us being on
blood pressure meds by age 75, 30 per cent
have high blood pressure by age 55-64 rising to
over 40 per cent in the over 65s. Use of LDLcholesterol
meds rises from 10 per cent in the
age 45-54 years age group to more than 30 per
cent by the 65-plus age group.
The science of eating patterns is highly
complicated. Matching all the research to
someone’s personal set of health risks and
nutrient needs, in terms of three meals a day,
can be complex. If one little message sets you
fretting over one gram of one ingredient in
foods, it can start a roller coaster to tip your
whole eating pattern on its head.
The fine-tuning messages of eating for health
risks come from the synthesis of millions of
dollars of medical research around nutrients,
food, and dietary patterns.

NIGHTLIFE: The neon bling of Shinsekai strikes a contrast with the spectacular skyline of Osaka and the Imperial Hotel
Mixture of history and escapism in Osaka
• By Mike Yardley
AS THE powerhouse of the
Kansai region, Osaka struts its
modern architecture, neondrenched
nightlife and alluring
street food with unabashed pride.
The frenetic central city
pleasure precinct of Dotonbori
is primed for people watching, a
head-spinning throng of shops,
eateries and neon excess.
The famous Glico billboard is
Dotonbori’s essential photo-stop
in the this canaI-side entertainment
district. Brimming with
pink salons, karaoke bars and
pachinko parlours, I also strolled
through the splendid Ebisubashi
Shopping Arcade, a roofed
shopping stretch bursting with
kimonos, jewellery, cooking
equipment, and fast food vendors.
Don’t miss the centuries-old
Hozenji Temple which features
a statue completely covered in
moss. The moss continues to
thrive with the water that worshipers
often pour over it.
For pure sensory escapism, the
neon bling of Shinsekai is worth a
wander, in spite of its seedy overtones.
The district was developed
before the war as an entertainment
zone, crowned by Tsutenkaku
Tower, a nostalgic symbol
and observation deck, inspired
by the Eiffel Tower. The southern
part of Shinsekai was modelled
on New York’s Coney Island.
A venerable Shinsekai snack is
kushikatsu, which is composed
of various skewered, battered and
deep fried foods. Varieties on offer
range from chicken and beef,
to pumpkin and asparagus, to
the banana and ice cream dessert
varieties.
Many of Shinsekai’s kushikatsu
restaurants are open 24 hours,
but only truly burst into life after
dark.
Osaka is home to a quirky little
museum that traces the history of
instant ramen, a national craze,
which Japanese citizens once
voted as their country’s greatest
invention of the 20th-century.
You’ll find a sprawling exhibit
of instant noodles, the riveting
tale behind the first cup of instant
ramen ever created in 1958, an instant
noodle “tunnel”, and a shed
dedicated to the birth of chicken
ramen.
If you need a breather from all
the bling and vertical concrete
boxes, the expansive verdant
embrace of Osaka Castle Park is a
detox delight.
It’s a gold-rated attraction in
spring, given its home to 1200
plum trees and 600 cherry trees.
Strolling through this immaculately
maintained park, clad with
artful statues and shady canopies,
the starring centrepiece is the
historic castle.
Construction started in 1583 as
a display of power by Toyotomi
Hideyoshi, after he achieved his
mission of unifying Japan.
One hundred thousand workers
slogged their guts out building
this “impregnable” granite showpiece,
which was subsequently
destroyed three decades later by
an invading army.
It was subsequently rebuilt only
to fall into disrepair, before being
fully reconstructed in 1931. It
miraculously survived the
city-wide air raids during World
War 2.
Swathed in moats, stone walls,
trees and gardens, it’s soothingly
photogenic. I wandered down to
the castle, on the riverside walkway
from the glamorous Imperial
Hotel Osaka.
Gracing the Okawa River,
this shiny, lofty hotel serves up
spectacular skyline views and is
fiendishly popular during cherry
blossom season.
I stayed in one of the deluxe
Imperial Floor rooms with a
dreamy view to lull me to sleep.
Kimono-clad female attendants
are present on each floor, to assist
with any request.
Guestrooms are decorated in
a regal, elegant style with high
ceilings, plush bedding, automatic
curtains and intuitive light
switches. High-tech robot toilets,
deep bathtubs and fluffy bathrobes
headline the commitment
to pampered comfort.
Foodies are spoiled for choice
six different dining venues.
Breakfast buffet and westernstyle
favourites are served at the
casual, convivial Flying Tomato
Cafe, while Jasmine Cafe and
Les Saisons serve high quality
Chinese and French cuisine,
respectively.
Get your fill of authentic teppanyaki
and melt-in-your-mouth
Japanese beef at Kamon, Tokyostyle
sushi made from the freshest
ingredients at Kyubey or Japanese
fine dining at the legendary
Osaka Nadaman, which has 180
years of culinary excellence under
its belt.
It’s easy to see why the Imperial
Hotel is consistently rated one of
Osaka’s best hotels. With its restful
riverside location, luxurious
rooms, gracious staff and ultraattentive
service, you can’t go
wrong. www.imperialhotel.co.jp

Lexus sports car launched
• By Ross Kiddie
AN EXCITING new
flagship model has been
launched by Lexus New
Zealand.
The LC 500 coupe is described
as a luxury car that
combines daring design
with leading edge engineering
and technology
to emulate that of a classic
grand tourer.
It arrives in New Zealand
in two variations. There is a
5-litre, naturally-aspirated
V8 model and a 3.5-litre V6
coupled to an electric hybrid
system. Both glass roof
models list at $215,000 with
a carbon fibre roof structure
adding an extra $5000
as an option. Prices include
a four-year maintenance
and service contract.
The V8 is a development
of the engine used
in the Lexus RC F and GS
F, it is rated with a 351kW
output along with 540Nm
of torque. The hybrid
system is rated at 264kW
and 348Nm. Both models
drive through a 10-speed
automatic transmission.
“Lexus has once again
demonstrated it has the
confidence to produce
brave uncompromised options
that are different from
the conventional designs
being adopted by competitors,’’
said Paul Carroll,
senior general manager for
Lexus New Zealand.
Sitting on 21in alloy
wheels, the LC is a 2+2
luxury coupe focused on
open road driving. Its handling,
responsiveness and
comfort have been finely
tuned to deliver exhilarating
performance.
Initial driving impressions
on Central Otago
roads were favourable. Both
the V8 and hybrid variants
proved they have true
grand touring performance
with solid engine outputs
and swift acceleration. A
standstill to 100km/h time
of around 5sec could be
expected from the V8. The
handling of both is direct
and decisive, the feeling of
balance, grip and control

has been an engineering
priority.
Both models exude characteristic
engine sound, the
V8 is throaty and will roar
through the exhausts, the
V6 hybrid has its own individual
howl which encourages
keen performance.
“While we offer a hybrid
model, which is synonymous
with efficiency, we
are not shying away from
performance there either,’’
Mr Carroll said. “Drivers
will be surprised at the
power and driving feel of
the hybrid.’’
Lexus Safety System+
is fitted to both models
and includes a pre-crash
system with autonomous
emergency braking, allspeed
dynamic radar cruise
control, lane keeping assist
and lane depart alert.

One-stop auto repair business
goes the extra mile
Like most auto repair businesses, Diesel
Doctor in Addington offers customers a
courtesy vehicle to use while their own vehicle
is being repaired. However, Diesel Doctor goes
the extra mile for customers by also offering a
Hiace van. This means tradies and others that
use their van for work won’t be out of pocket
while their van is being repaired by Diesel
Doctor’s expert technicians.
It’s all part of their bumper-to-bumper
service, which includes all types of
mechanical repairs and servicing to both
petrol and diesel vehicles. The workshop
is fitted out with computerised scanning
equipment, enabling the technicians to
pinpoint exactly what needs to be done.
This includes repairs to both manual and auto
transmission gearboxes, as well as full engine
reconditioning.
Customers can have all their auto-electrical
work and panel repair work done through Diesel
Doctor too. They provide WOFs and are also
agents for Kumho tyres and AA batteries. So
basically, it is a one-stop-shop for all types of auto
repairs and servicing.
Owned and operated by qualified engineer
and mechanic Tony Wessels, Diesel Doctor was
established in 1994, and since then has built up a
reputation for quality workmanship and friendly

Keeping the faith – will the Warriors finish third or last
• By Cameron McMillan
IT’S THAT time again for the
tradition of working out if the
Warriors can make the play-offs.
The side hasn’t made the NRL
play-offs since 2011, the second
longest drought in the NRL.
They currently sit six points
outside of the top eight following
Saturday’s defeat to the Cowboys.
With starting halfback Shaun
Johnson ruled out for at least
a large chunk of the remaining
six games, it seems unlikely
the Warriors, currently with
seven wins and 11 defeats, will
be playing play-off football this
season.
About 28 points has often been
regarded as the marker to reach
the NRL play-offs – it’s been that
case for the last eight seasons –
but it seems that number will
be possibly two or four points
higher this year.
All the Warriors have to do is
win their remaining six games
against the Sharks, Knights,
Raiders, Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles
and Tigers, which would get
them to 30 points.
The Knights, Tigers and
Rabbitohs also need to win a lot
of their remaining games while
the Sharks and Broncos have to
each win one of their last six.
Nine teams could finish on 30
points from third place to 11th
– with some big wins for the
Warriors getting them into third
on points difference and playing
away to the Roosters in the first
week of the play-offs. Simple
maths.
Now the other side of the coin.
The Warriors could finish as
low as 16th – which is last – if
they lose their remaining games
and Newcastle run up the table.
Yes, it’s equally unlikely, but the
Warriors are still a chance to get
the wooden spoon. There is a
‘mathematical chance,’ which
is a term you often hear with
the Warriors in late July and
August.
What’s more likely to happen
is the Warriors win three of their
last six and finish on 24 points.
That will put them in 11th spot
and a sixth straight year without
going beyond round 26.
Predicted top eight
1. Storm
2. Roosters
3. Broncos
4. Sharks
5. Cowboys
6. Eels
7. Dragons
8. Sea Eagles

LINCOLN University will go for

The team to beat going into
each season in recent times,
Lincoln University will bring a
mix of grand-final experience
combined with young, x-factor
players into their clash against
3 University.
– Saturday 15 th April (Easter Weekend)
“There’s quite a few (players)
that have been there for the last
two finals,” said Lincoln University
backs coach Ben Blair.

“We’ve got a few guys that have
actually gone on from university
and are now working but still
playing for us.”
Lincoln University will be led
by captain Nick Werahiko, who
recently became the club’s first
player to bring up 100 caps.
Although the team has been
successful in recent times, the
trend has been for Crusaders
Academy players to use it as a
stepping stone to provincial and
Super Rugby.
Lincoln University have suffered
just one loss in the top six
competition. However, that came
at the hands of University.
“They’ve got some real
firepower with the like of Jone
Macilai and Brad Hemopo and a
lot of that team has been together
for a while,” said Blair.
“A few would say they’ve snuck
up on the likes of Sydenham and
Christchurch and ourselves, but
they’re playing some great footy
at the right time of the year.”

Lincoln University have always
featured exciting backlines, usually
featuring players who have
gone on to Super Rugby. This
year is no different with the likes
of Brett Cameron, Eri Enari,
Ngane Punivai, Jack Stratton,
Josh McKay and Nick Lake leading
the charge.
In previous years, opposition
sides may have looked at Lincoln
University’s forward pack as
their only weakness. However, it
doesn’t seem to be case this
year.
“When you look at it, we have
got some experienced guys there
now. We did a good job on a
pretty experienced Christchurch
pack, so we know we can play

Blair. As for what kind of match
will unfold on Sunday, Blair
is confident the crowd will be
shown an exciting brand of
rugby.
“I think we’re quite similar in
a lot of respects, we both like to
play with the ball in hand,” said
Blair.

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

History favours the Crusaders in semi-final
• By Cameron McMillan
THE CRUSADERS certainly
have history on their side going
into this weekend’s Super Rugby
semi-final clash.
As seven-time champions,
they have an impressive 11
semi-final victories in their
history going into Saturday’s
clash at home against the Chiefs.
That’s the most of any Super
Rugby franchise. Nine of those
knockout victories took place

repairs and parking
on home soil with the Crusaders
unbeaten in the semi-final stage
in Christchurch.
Something the Chiefs can take
into Saturday’s clash is that two
of the Crusaders five semi-final
defeats have been at the hands
of the Chiefs – 2012 and 2013
in Hamilton. However, neither
the Chiefs or Hurricanes have
ever won an away semi-final. The
Lions achieved their first ever
semi-final victory last season
after previously losing their two

semi-final games in 2000 and
2001 when playing as the Cats.
The most damning statistic
ahead of this week’s games is
home advantage in the semifinals.
Of the 42 Super Rugby
semi-finals played since 1996,
just eight have been won by the
away team.
If you’re thinking of a Chiefs-
Hurricanes final, consider this:
Only once in Super Rugby

Selling your property?
First impressions count,
get rid of the clutter.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter
is one of the keys to selling property fast and at a good price. Good storage
systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter.
Good storage ideas are abundant and all
manner of products are available to make
homes more minimalistic. While it’s nice to buy
your storage from designer homewares stores,
the likes of The Warehouse and Kmart sell many
simple products for masking clutter. Fabric
storage cubes are a great start for disguising
the clutter. They fit neatly into shelves and
wardrobes and thanks to competition from the
big department stores, can cost $10 or less
each. You’ll also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven
and metal baskets for a song.
Another clever idea, is to buy a cheap set of
melamine shelves for use in your wardrobe. A
set of shelves does much the same job as an
expensive wardrobe fit out. You can move the
shelf heights to accommodate shoes and boots.
It looks good, but costs little.
Another wardrobe organisation is a Wardrobe
Starter Kit from Hardware stores. While you’re
there, check out bicycle storage hooks as well.
As well as being practical, storage products
can make a design statement. The important
thing is to be consistent. don’t, for example,
buy storage cubes in different colours. If you’re
looking for really clever home storage ideas
take a tip from the tiny home movement.
Catherine Foster who wrote Small House Living,
downsized her life to under 90sq m and has
interviewed Kiwis who live in architecturally
designed homes of that size or smaller.
Each and every house in Foster’s book uses
storage effectively to tame their belongings.
Some have done it on the smell of an oily rag,
sometimes buying pre-cut heavy duty plywood
that only has to be screwed together, she says.
Garages and lofts are house vendors’ friends.
The garage is one of the few places in the house
that buyers won’t be put off by a little extra
stuff, but the more that can be hidden away in
stacked crates the better. Consider using flat
pack cupboards that can be taken with you.
“The most effective way of using these is to
find a wall where the whole area can be covered
floor to ceiling,”
“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level if you’re
handy, or get a handyman in for a few hours, but
make sure it is excluded from the list of chattels
on the sale agreement.”
Loft spaces are often wasted space in Kiwi
homes. A relatively cheap way to open up
the space is to install a loft ladder. You will be
amazed at what people use the additional
storage space for, once they’ve installed it.
Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just limited
to the interior of the house, garage and loft. The
Warehouse, Mitre 10 & other hardware stores
sell garden storage to hide away things usually
left outside.
Foldable garden storage boxes that cost
from around $99 can be used to store garden
tools, outdoor cushions and pool paraphernalia.
The next step up is a cheap garden shed for
around $200 upwards from Mitre 10, Bunnings
Warehouse and other stores.
Finally, if you’re looking for more inspiration
Google “storage ideas”, search the same on
Pinterest, or check out books on the subject
from your local library. You’ll be amazed at how
many everyday items can be repurposed for
storage at the same time as adding design
excellence to your home.
