Heritage repairs
may have to wait
• By Bridget Rutherford
EARTHQUAKE repairs for some
of Christchurch’s significant
historic buildings have been put
on hold pending a review of city
council finances.
City council staff have put
together a list containing heritage
buildings yet to be repaired requiring
Long Term Plan funding
with no determined future use.
The repairs have been put
on hold until they have been
reviewed.
The heritage-listed Municipal
Chambers, Canterbury Provincial
Council Chambers and
Ferrymead’s Penfold Cottage are
among those on hold.
It came after concerns the
repair and restoration of heritage
buildings were being presented
to city councillors for decision
making on an “ad hoc basis.”

CHRISTMAS MIGHT be right
on the radar but there’s another
big event looming too – the
City2Surf.
Yep, it’s only a handful of
months away (see page 3) so it’s
time to start lacing up those
running shoes and pound the
pavement or local park to get in
some sort of shape.
The great thing about the
City2Surf – and this hasn’t
changed over the decades – is
that anyone regardless of shape
or fitness level can take part.
And this is why it has survived
for so long, and each year
thousands turn up.
A face that will appear on
the marketing of City2Surf this
year is Jesel Royokada, a Fijian
pastor.
Jesel was ecstatic when he
finished the event (I’m not calling
it a race) last year, and this
time around is encouraging
others, including his congregation
to run with him for
March’s event.
And remember it’s a family
event – children 10 and under
are free to participate.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This day in history saw the opening
of Memorial Ave on November
26, 1959. It is a memorial to
airmen killed in World War 2. On
November 27, 1985, the remains of
a swimming pool were uncovered
when excavating behind the No 1
stand at Lancaster Park. It was used
as a venue for the 1907 Australian
and New Zealand Swimming
Championships. On November
28, 1893, women voted for the first
time in Parliamentary elections. On
Walk of Stars for city
pavement
the same day in 1964, Lyttelton’s
Cashin Quay was opened. The
engineering techniques used in
reclaiming this area were unique
in the world. On November 29,
1978, rock singer David Bowie
performed at QE II Park. On
December 1, 1889, the first New
Zealand-built locomotive was
completed at Addington railway
workshops. On the same day in
1975, the Rolleston satellite town
project was scrapped.

Leap of faith for pastor
Getting into
the spirit
of fun run
• By Andrew King
JESEL ROYOKADA embodies
everything that is the Star
Media City2Surf.
Last year he was
photographed leaping into
the air after crossing the line
capturing the spirit of the event.
Now, the Christchurch Fijian
Seventh-Day Adventist Church
pastor has asked his congregation
of about 80 to get involved
in the event as a way to connect
with other cultures.
“We come from the islands
and sometimes we do things in
our own island groups but it is
good to get involved with the
rest of the community,” he said.
The 31-year-old encouraged
about 25 of his parishioners to
get involved in the event last
year
“It was the first time our
church has got involved with
something like this,” he said.
He said they were told about
the event by Healthy Families
Christchurch, part of a nationwide
Government initiative ​
aimed at helping New Zealanders
live healthy, active lives.
“I would like to see all 80
of them out there, and their
friends and families. We can
even have kids in prams at the
event,” he said.
He said they will start to train
soon for the event, which will be
held on March 18.
The event is split into two sections
– 6km and 14km.
The Star Media City2Surf
with Les Mills 14km event starts
in Centennial Park, Spreydon,
at 9am.
The Sport Canterbury 6km

In Brief
POLICE PROBE DEATH
The investigation into the
unexplained death of a man
discovered in Edmonds Park on
Ferry Rd is ongoing. It has been
reported a weapon was involved
and he is believed to be a Russian
fisherman. Detective Senior
Sergeant Jason Stewart said the
investigation into the “unexplained
death” will continue. A formal
identification process is under
way. Anyone in the area between
2-3.30am yesterday is urged to
contact their nearest police station
or Crimestoppers anonymously on
0800 555 111.
‘DROWN HIM’ CASE
Police are yet to make an arrest after
the brutal assault of a teenager in
Rolleston. The 15-year-old victim
was viciously attacked by a group in
Rolleston after a fireworks display
on November 4. They dragged him
to a water race and held his head
under water. Some in the group
chanted “drown him”. Police have
remained tight-lipped about the
investigation, saying inquiries are
“ongoing”.
PUSH FOR CITY LIVING
The Christchurch City Development
Forum met yesterday to discuss
ways to get more residential
development in the central city.
The behind closed doors meeting
was attended by city councillors,
developers and real estate agents.
Forum chairman Jamie Gough said
a lot was out of the city council’s
control, but the discussion was
about seeing what it could do to
help get development moving. The
city council and Government want
20,000 people living in the central
city by 2024.
QUAKE SERVICE SAVED
The Residential Advisory Service,
which provides help for earthquake
claimants navigating insurance
issues, will have its funding
extended until July. Minister for
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Megan Woods said the service was
to close next month but the new
Government has put $700,000 in to
keep it running. •Megan Woods’

Pet killed, man injured during dog attack
• By Sophie Cornish
DOG CONTROL officers were
called to a property two weeks
before a pensioner was attacked
by bull terriers which then killed
his bichon frise.
Roger Stare, 73, is now seeking
answers after his best mate
Charlie was mauled to death
in the Prestons subdivision on
Friday.
Mr Stare suffered multiple
wounds and bruising during the
unprovoked and surprise attack.
“I would like to know why this
happened . . . the dogs should
have never been there in the first
place,” he said.
The attack happened on Te
Rito St about 11am, while Mr
Stare was taking Charlie for his
daily walk.
Two bull terriers pushed their
way through an insecure window
in a house and charged at them.
A Te Rito St resident, who did
not want to be named, told The
Star yesterday she called dog
control two weeks ago when the
bull terriers escaped from the
property.
Mr Stare now wants to know
why the dogs were able to escape
again, this time with lethal consequences.
The city council has impounded
one of the bull terriers but the
other dog was allowed back to
its owner after being classed as a
“passenger to the attack.”
A city council spokeswoman
was unable to provide details yesterday
of the outcome of the call
out two weeks ago.
Mr Stare said the dogs’ owner

rents the property they escaped
from and he has been issued a
48-hour notice to remove the
animals from the subdivision.
The Prestons subdivision
covenant lists that residents shall
not keep any dog which in whole
or part appears to be a pit bull
terrier, rottweiler, japanese akita,
japanese tosa, dogo argentino or
fila brasileiro on any properties.
The city council spokeswoman
said the dog involved in this
attack is being held in custody
at the animal shelter, until
this investigation has been
completed.

Heritage repairs may have to wait
•From page 1
City councillor Jamie
Gough said the upcoming
Long Term Plan consultation
process was the perfect
time to reassess what
projects to do, and when.
He said it was going
to cost “astronomical
figures” to repair both the
provincial chambers on
Durham St North and the
Municipal Chambers on
the corner of Oxford Tce
and Worcester Boulevard.
“We have to have a really
big conversation about this
because it will cost a lot of
money.”
Cr Gough said he wanted
to look at whether there
could be other repair
or ownership
options such as a
trust.
City councillor
Deon Swiggs said
the city council
needed to prioritise
budgets, otherwise
rates may
have to rise.
“We have to ask do we
do it now, and do we have
a use for it now, or do we
wait a few years.”
City council acting head
of parks Brent Smith said
Anna Crighton
WAITING: Repairs to the historic Municipal
Chambers are on hold. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
the full list of projects
on hold, pending review,
could not be released due
to commercial sensitivity.
“We’ll reassess this in
the new year
and will be in a
position to update
you further in
February 2018.”
The provincial
chambers date
back to the 1850s
and are the only
purpose-built
provincial government
buildings left in the
country.
The Municipal Chambers,
also known as Our
City – Otautahi, was the
first Queen Anne Arts and
Craft-style building in the
country. Penfold’s Cottage
was built in the early 1860s
by Captain James Penfold.
Christchurch Heritage
Trust chairwoman Anna
Crighton said those
buildings had been made
weather-tight, and the
city council was
“mothballing.”
“The council is leading
heritage values by keeping
these buildings and
mothballing until they can
afford to do the restoration
work.”
The draft Long Term
Plan is likely to be adopted
in February before public
consultation. The final plan
will be adopted in June.

Burleigh fulfils grandad’s dream
• By Andrew King
CANCER-ridden Des Burleigh
knew he would never see his
grandson Phil play international
rugby.
So from Christchurch via
Skype he told Phil, playing in
Scotland for Edinburgh: “You
make sure you wear the blue
jersey son.”
A week later
Des passed
away. That was
six months ago.
At the
weekend, Phil
fulfilled his
Des Burleigh
grandfather’s
dream when
he ran on as a
late replacement for Scotland
in their 53-24 demolition of the
Wallabies in front of 67,000 at
Murrayfield.
Des would have been very
proud, Phil’s father Wayne
Burleigh said yesterday.
Originally from New Brighton,
Phil qualified to play for
Scotland because he has played
three years there.
Wayne – like his son, a gifted
midfielder who played for New
Brighton – told The Star Des’
words ran through his head as
he watched the match on TV.
And even more so when Phil
sang the Scottish national anthem
before kick-off.
Des, who spent a number of
years on the Canterbury Rugby
junior advisory board, was one
of Phil’s biggest fans, Wayne
said.
​“I think he knew he was on
the way out so he gave him a bit
of advice.”
“He would follow all his progress
[in Scotland] on his iPad
and Phil would Skype him all
the time,” Wayne said.
He said Phil’s other late

grandfather Stan Wilson would
have been proud as his mother
was Scottish.
Phil’s appearance for Scotland
caps a great year for New
Brighton rugby.
He played alongside All Blacks
centre Ryan Crotty during his
club days at New Brighton and
another seasider, Kieron Fonotia,
made his debut for Manu
Samoa against the All Blacks on
June 16 at Eden Park. All three
played in the Shirley Boys’ High
first XV in 2005. Fonotia has
also been on Samoa’s Northern
Hemisphere tour.

SANTA PARADE
More than 100,000 people are

annual parade’s future had been
uncertain after its funding was

councillors approved a $35,000
grant for this year’s parade, to
be topped up by a $65,000 grant
from the city council’s major
events fund. •Parade guide, p42

Dear Santa Claus, all I want for
LOL Surprise! Dolls and
NERF guns are top of
the pops when it comes
to children’s toys this
Christmas. Julia Evans
reports
CHILDREN HAVE begun
sending letters to Santa and
shops have become packed with
Christmas shoppers – December
is here.
Tower Junction Toyworld
manager Gail Gray said there
have already been two clear frontrunners
as the most popular toys
this year.
“There’s always favourites and
they usually sell out. This year it’s
the LOL Dolls,” Ms Gray said.
She said the larger dolls had
sold out from all stores around
the country.
However, she promised she was
making an extra effort to get the
smaller LOL Doll back in store
before Christmas.
For boys, she said you can’t
go wrong with the latest NERF
blaster – there’s something they
love about shooting foam darts
around the garden on the morning
of December 25.

$40k bicycle
parks likely to
be approved
THE CITY council could spend
$40,000 installing bicycle parks
across Christchurch each year.
City councillors have asked for
the money to be put aside annually
in the 2018-2028 Long Term Plan
budget.
City council planning and delivery
transport manager Lynette
Ellis said it was required to provide
adequate cycle parking, similar to
on and off-street car parks.
Private commercial developers
also had to provide adequate cycle
parks under the replacement District
Plan, she said.
“The $40,000 set aside allows
funds for cycle stands to be installed
in key locations across the city at yet
to be identified locations.”
She said typically it costs about
$600 to buy and install each stand.
“Therefore the money allocated
can provide approximately 65
stands per year.”
It would use a robust hoop style
stand and could fit two to three
bikes per hoop, she said.
The draft Long Term Plan is likely
to be approved in February before a
month of consultation.
The final plan will be adopted in
June.

Walk of Stars for city
• By Andrew King
CHRISTCHURCH IS set to get its
own version of the ‘Hollywood Stars’
in a new initiative by the City Mission.
The social service agency is offering
‘stars’ that will be placed in the Cashel
Mall from December 1. It is a way to
generate money and to thank sponsors.
The project is called “The Walk of
Stars.”
City Missioner Matthew Mark said
it allowed them to shout loud and
proud the wonderful people that keep
their organisation going.
“The opportunity to highlight who
supports us on a regular basis is quite
a privilege,” he said.
It is the first time the City Mission
has used the idea.
“It has been well received and has
been a lot of fun,” he said.
So far 55 stars have been sold including
nine out of the 10 $5000 gold
stars available, he said.
Mr Mark said while it is great to say
thanks those who have donated, the
need grows every day.
“We still need to get the message
out there that the need is increasing,
we still want to share that, but we also
want to say thank you,” he said.
•The stars cost between $100-
$5000 and can be purchased by
visiting: www.citymission.org.nz/

Friends find MKR
final too hot to handle
FOODIES Heather Andersen
and Mitch MacDonald were
unable to cook their way to
victory in Monday’s My Kitchen
Rules New Zealand grand-final.
The Christchurch friends
were beaten by five points by
Wanaka’s Chris and Bex Wright,
who walked away with the
$100,000 prize with a score of 52
out of 60.
The friends were dubbed the
villains of season three, but said
they were not as “awful” as viewers
thought.
“We feel so proud of making it
through to the grand-final even
though we didn’t come away
with the win. Congratulations
to Chris and Bex, it’s been great
cooking against them and they
certainly know their way around
a kitchen,” Mr MacDonald said.
The duo started on a high,
but the title soon slipped from
their grasp after they delivered a
beef fillet main over-powered by
onions.
But Ms Andersen made her
mark in the dessert round, with
an L&P cheesecake dubbed the
lightest the judges had ever eaten
on the show – but it was not
enough.

700km a
month
put on
council
vehicles
• By Bridget Rutherford
CITY COUNCIL vehicles clock
up more than 700km on average
each month.
There are 63 vehicles in the
city council’s generic pool based
at Hereford St, which can be
driven by staff at any time on
work business.
Twenty-four vehicles are based
at other sites for general staff
use, while there are 66 dedicated
vehicles for the exclusive use of a
single staff member.
There are also 44 specialist
vehicles allocated to a particular
unit.
Data provided to the The
Star showed, since January, the
dedicated vehicles have travelled
about 923km on average each
month.
The Hereford St pool vehicles
went about 900km, while those
in other locations went about
536km each month.
Specialist vehicles travelled an
average of 565km.
The city council spent $365,112
on fuel for its vehicles this financial
year and $382,572 last year.
It has teamed up with 12 organisations,
including Environment
Canterbury, for an electric
vehicle shared fleet scheme,
which the public can also use for
$11.90 an hour.

A SOMALIAN refugee who
stabbed two people after
kidnapping a pie delivery driver
has been denied parole again.
Zakariye Mohamed Hussein
was jailed for more than six
years, with a minimum nonparole
period of three years and
three months, for the 2012 incident
which started in Redwood
and ended in Hoon Hay.
His parole was denied at a
hearing this month, which Hussein
declined to attend.
Pie delivery driver Marteine
Robin, 42, who was kidnapped
and stabbed by Hussein, wanted
her attacker to remain in prison.
“He can stay right where he is,
it is the best place for him.
I don’t want to see him get
out as it seems the likelihood
of him re-offending
is pretty high,” she said.
Hussein’s sentence ends
on September 18 next
year – just days before Ms
Robin’s 43rd birthday.
“Happy birthday to me,
right?” she said.
“Every time I wash my shoulder
I can feel the scar [where she
was stabbed]. That is every day.”
Hussein has been undergoing
physiological treatment at an
undisclosed facility, a parole
hearing report revealed.
“He has remained in [withheld]
and his condition has
largely been stable. There have,
from time to time, been occasions
where Mr Hussein
(sic) has been violent
towards hospital staff, the
last one being in May of
this year,” the report said.
The drama started at
about 7am on March 15,
2012, when Hussein was
disturbed in the grounds
of Redwood School by
caretaker Noel Batstone.
Hussein chased Mr Batstone
and a teacher who barricaded
themselves inside a classroom
and phoned police.
In August last year, Mr Batstone
said he felt sorry for Hussein.
But on Tuesday, he told The
Star his opinion had changed.
“Keep him locked up. He
sounds like he is not ready to be
let back out,” he said.
After Mr Batstone and the
teacher escaped, Hussein,
hijacked Ms Robin’s van and
ordered her to drive. She told
him to “get the f*** out” of her
delivery truck. He then forced
her at knifepoint to drive him
across the city before stabbing
her in the shoulder.
“After he stabbed me, I asked
him what the f**k did you do
to my shoulder? He told me to
stop swearing. So I told him to
get f****d,” she told The Star on
Tuesday.
Ms Robin eventually managed
to escape when Hussein
was momentarily distracted

Partners in rebuild project
– and rebuilding lives
Two well-established Christchurch companies are
working together on one of the city’s most eagerly
anticipated rebuild projects, QEII.
Apollo Projects is the lead building contractor,
while Aotea Electric is carrying out design build
work on the electrical, automation, electrical for
mechanical, electrical for pool water services and data
communication work, as well as the installation of the
MATV, PA, and electric vehicle charging systems.
Following completion of the tender process in 2016,
construction began at the beginning of this year and
completion is expected by mid-2018.
Project manager for Aotea Electric, Adam Smithies,
says the relationship between the two companies has
been “really good, it’s great to be part of such a nostalgic
rebuild project. Everyone is focused on getting the job
done together,” he says.
Apollo Project’s Iain Ansell describes Aotea Electric
as a “professional company with an impressive track
record”.
“With large projects like this, there’s always the
potential for issues and conflicts, but with Aotea it’s
The new QEII rebuild under construction is progressing well.
been smooth sailing. It’s good when companies work
together and share the vision.”
This isn’t the only project the two companies are
partnering on, however. Both have recently become
sponsors of the Believe Foundation.
The foundation was established to provide lifechanging
opportunities and challenges for young
people whose lives have taken an unconventional path.
Approaching ‘decision points’ in their lives, most of
them lack role models to guide them in making critical
decisions about their future.
The aim of the foundation is to fund the youth to
partake in challenging events, and also to provide a
network of ‘mentors’ who will train and encourage them
in the lead-up to the challenges, and help prepare them
for employment at the completion of the challenge.
For many of the youngsters, it is likely that having
people believe in them will be a rare or new experience.
Last year, the Believe Foundation supported the Te
Rangatahi Tumanako Trust (The Youth Hope Trust)
and the St John of God Hauora Trust, who managed a
team of five young people to train for and compete in
Artist’s
impression
the Mototapu mountain bike race.
The race was a life-changing experience for the young
people, and all of them have continued to embrace the
positive life experiences of the Road to Motatapu, and
translate these to the challenges of everyday life.
Seeking sponsorship for another group of young
people to take part in this year’s race, the Believe
Foundation’s Tim Howe approached Robbie Venrooy
of Aotea Electric.
“We thought it was an amazing idea and we wanted
to get involved,” Robbie says.
“I spoke to my fellow directors and they said yes, they
were keen for the company to be sponsors.”
Apollo Projects director Craig Waghorn says they
were also very happy to sponsor the Believe Foundation
for the second year.
“It’s part of our company culture to support good
causes like this, and we saw this as an outstanding cause.
We are also pleased to have the mutual connection and
tie-in with Aotea on this.”

Helping settle ‘complex’
quake insurance claims
AS A new minister,
one of the biggest
priorities for me
has been getting
faster resolution
for people still
dealing with EQC and
insurance issues, nearly seven
years after the earthquakes.
For many of the people still
in this position here in Christchurch,
part of the problem is
that they have complex or difficult
claims. For those stuck in
this situation, it feels like they
are trapped in limbo. My priority
is making sure these people can
move on with their lives.
Part of that is making sure the
right support is available to help
them navigate what can be very
overwhelming and complex issues.
This is where the Residential
Advisory Service has been an
absolute godsend for people over
the last few years. The service
helps people navigate their claims
and gives people support and a
bit of case management to get
people through.
Since the earthquake, more
than 4500 people have had their
claims resolved by the RAS. Yet
under the previous Government,
this service had been due to close
in December due to a lack of
funding.
That’s not something our new
Government wants to see. We
know how important this service
is, and we know that we can’t
walk away from people while they
are still struggling.
When I was in Kaikoura recently
for the one-year anniversary, I
met with people who were using
the service. I heard how much of
an important lifeline it was. One
woman told me she had been at
the absolute end of her rope until
she started working with RAS.
She talked about how staff there
went above and beyond to help
her. That’s the approach our Government
wants to see continue.
That’s why we’ve announced
we will be extending the RAS
service until at least the middle of
next year. With new funding, the
service will be able to continue to
help the people who need it and
ensure people are getting access
to justice and a way to get their
claims sorted and get on with
their lives.

Seventy years on from
the Ballantynes fire,
survivors Lois Wheeler and
Marion Hooykaas had an
uncanny reunion
Donna Dawber – Lois
Wheeler was my mum’s friend
in Richmond RIP Vera Gibson.
Angel At Large – My mum
was in the Ballantynes fire.
She was 19. She saw so many
of her friends burn to death.
They locked the fire escapes and
wouldn’t let the girls in accounting
leave their posts. So many
unnecessary deaths. Her sister
worked in Beaths across the
road and watched too.
Richard Carrigan – Great
read. Mr and Mrs Wheeler were
friends of mum and dad growing
up. Major bit of Christchurch
history as well.
Jan Greig – I have the newspaper
of that terrible day.
SURVIVORS: Lois Wheeler, 92, and Marion Hooykaas, 87, both
escaped the Ballantynes fire on November 18, 1947, although
they did not meet until years later. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Helen Cox – Such a terrible
tragedy but how lovely these
ladies have met.
Diane Rangi – I was threeyears-old
when it happened.
We lived in Spreydon. I can
remember it still.
Robyn Rodgers – I believe
my aunty was working as a
seamstress in Ballantynes, she
was probably their senior back
in those days.
Judy Bagnall – My mum
worked upstairs in Beaths across
the road and witnessed the
fire. They were evacuated too.
Think windows at Beaths were
breaking with the heat.

DUMPED: People continue to dump their rubbish in public
places like here in South Brighton Domain. ​
Higher fines for people
caught dumping rubbish in
public places has failed to
deter them from doing it
Leanne Rita Scaturro – In
Perth, every six months they
do a road side collection.
From whiteware
to deck chairs,
bikes, heaters, old
fences, anything. I
often pulled over and
grabbed something
I needed. Great way
of recycling and getting rid of
stuff that otherwise sits around.
A good clear out. And a good
service.
Mykel Holmes – Or make
landfills and (refuse) centres
realistic prices and these people
with no money might actually
dump it legally – surely
it’s cheaper than paying wages
for people to go pick it all up
then dump it at the same place?
Commonsense no?
Jacinta Roosing
– Check out the roads
in Riccarton. A family
moved out of a house
and left their crap on the
side of the road.
Heather Wilkins – Part of
the problem is a lack of rubbish
bins. Council thought in their
wisdom that if they took some
away, it would encourage people
to use a rubbish bin.
THE NEW
Government is full
steam ahead on
meeting its first
100-day plan.
That includes
significant announcements
from the minister
of housing, who has sought
a stocktake on the housing crisis.
This will include firm figures on
homelessness, the state of the
rental market and the decline of
home ownership.
We will certainly co-operate
with the compilation of this
report, as will the Otautahi
Community Housing Trust,
which now manages the city’s
social housing tenancies. We
have a considerable amount of
information on these issues due
to a number of initiatives we
are participating in with other
agencies, including Housing
First, a project which looks to
get people into a secure home,
before beginning to tackle
the other issues that led to
homelessness in the first place.
The Government
announcement has two areas
of focus which are significant
to Christchurch. The first is
cancelling the state housing
sell-off, and the other is setting
up KiwiBuild – and I think the
Lianne Dalziel
two are related. The cancelling
of the state house sell-off opens
up the possibility of dialogue on
progressing the exemplar rebuild
projects in Bryndwr and Shirley
that were agreed as part of the
land use recovery plan.
These were intended to
create well-designed urban
communities that increased
the number of affordable and
market-priced homes, without
diminishing the number of social
housing units. This would be a

It does seem more than unfair
that some people are still struggling
with EQC/insurance claims
seven years after the first earthquake
struck, but the truth is
there are many still in that boat.
So the support needs to be there
and I’m glad the government has
recognised that need.
It’s only 25 sleeps until Christmas

on to bring people into the city.

SHOWS: The World Buskers Festival will feature performances from the Topp Twins, who will bring their classic brand of
Kiwi humour to the stage, and Urzila Carlson with her show Unacceptable; PHOTOS: WORLD BUSKERS FESTIVAL
Buskers back for 25th
• By Bridget Rutherford
COMEDIANS, daredevils,
dancers, singers and acrobats
will hit the streets in
January to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the World
Buskers Festival.
Fifty-five performers
representing 14 countries
will descend on the city for
the annual 10-day festival
from January 18-28.
Festival producer Tim
Bain said its programme
was about creating a line-up
which reflected the past,
while at the same time
looked forward to the future.
“It’s daring, bold, cheeky,
hilarious and world class,”
he said.
To celebrate 25 years, there
will be five headline shows.
After making it through
to the America’s Got Talent
final last year, The Boy with
Tape on His Face (right) is
coming home to premier his
new ideas.
Urzila Carlson will
perform her new show
Unacceptable and the Topp
Twins will entertain the
crowds with their classic
Kiwi humour.
A Night at the Musicals,
featuring Le Gateau
Chocolat, will bring musical
entertainment, as will
Crossdresser for Christ,
featuring Ginger Minj from
RuPaul’s Drag Race.
New features will include a
Buskers Bar and Night Food
Market at the Arts Centre
every night, a Cabaret Club
at the Great Hall, and the
Laugh Lounge at Sixty6 on
Peterborough.
Buskers will also perform
at the Friday Night Food
Market in Cathedral Square
and in City Mall at
lunchtimes outside The
Crossing.
Festival director
Melissa Haberfield
encouraged people to
embrace the festival and
celebrate its 25th birthday.
“For 10 days and 11
nights, our city becomes
a playground filled with
laughter, colour and fun,
as street artists and night
show performers entertain
hundreds of thousands of
locals and visitors in a
festival like no other.”
There will be
13 performance
sites, inside
and outdoors,
including the
Arts Centre,
Christ’s
College,
Christchurch
Art Gallery,
New Brighton
and Lyttelton
among others.
More than
200 free day
performances
will take place
around the city.
The festival
will conclude
with the Buskers
Best Bits show
at the Isaac
Theatre Royal on
January 28.
The 24th World
Buskers Festival,
held in January,
drew a quarter of a
million people.
RETURN: Fresh from his world
tour, The Boy With Tape
on His Face will return
to Christchurch for the
festival in January.

New Full-time Tech Jobs
Created in NZ in the last year
*2017 TIN Report
Tech is New Zealand’s third-largest export sector and is growing fast with over 9000
new jobs expected to be created over the next two years*. To fuel this growth, NZ
needs more people with a grounding in tech to meet the rapid expansion within this
exciting and varied area, which crosses into many industries.
SIGNAL ICT Grad School develops tech professionals to meet that growth via SHIFT,
enabling more people to enter this dynamic and diverse sector.
The SHIFT Programme
SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for those who are seeking a new career path who may not have a
tech background. Open to degree-holders in any discipline, learners in the current cohorts have various backgrounds,
from philosophy, sociology and marketing to graphic design, engineering and science. Available in both Christchurch and
Dunedin, this one year programme offers relevant and current content to ensure you are well equipped to work within the
tech area, where the skills you have learnt in previous work and study are highly valued.
Partnering With Industry
SHIFT uses immersive studio-based learning and real-world industry experience to produce graduates with a solid base
of core computing skills, as well as communication and employability skills required in today’s collaborative workplaces.
The current Christchurch cohort, which started
in July, have just finished two collaborative studio
projects; making an app to track native planting in
New Zealand and coding a small computer to create
a personal bus schedule monitor. These projects are
tailored to complement their preferred specialist tech
area and enhance their employability.
Opportunities
With tech roles existing in nearly every area from
aviation to zoology, career possibilities are extensive.
Through the SHIFT programme, learners can focus
on software design and development, or allied roles,
such as business analyst, web designer, project
manager, user experience designer, technical writer,
sales and client support . . . and the list goes on.
SIGNAL’s SHIFT Programme transitions graduates from
any discipline into tech. Many new and mature graduates
are considering tech as a viable and lucrative career
option and this is increasing as the range of roles within
tech becomes more widely known.
Diversity is welcomed; in the current Christchurch
cohort, 80 percent are women, and two learners in the SHIFT programme have young families. SHIFT is also well suited
to new graduates who may be looking for that X factor to boost their employability. The tech sector can potentially offer
flexible hours and work locations – making this an exciting and viable option for those with families.
Situated at 181 High Street, SIGNAL Christchurch is in the heart of the growing Innovation Precinct.
*NZ Tech Digital Skills Survey 2017
The next SHIFT intake commences in February 2018 and scholarships are available.

ISAAC’S STORY:
With a Masters in Geology and 10 years
experience working in the mining industry,
Isaac re-assessed his career goals, wanting a
career that was more flexible and portable.
‘I saw the SHIFT programme as an exciting
opportunity to add specific tech skills to my
knowledge base, so I can translate those skills
into a new career.’ For his industry project,
Isaac is working with Stantec NZ to represent
aerial drone footage.
‘The school-friendly course hours have allowed
me to carry on with my before and after school
duties, and this has really helped my family and
my career training.’
FELICIA’S STORY:
Felicia has a computer engineering degree
from the Philippines where she worked as an
Air Traffic Controller for 12 years before coming
to New Zealand.
‘SHIFT will enable and empower me to reignite
my programming skills to eventually help me
become work-ready. I am invested to take as
much knowledge and practical skills from this
course and apply them in more meaningful
ways.’
She has really enjoyed the studio projects
so far and is looking forward to working with
industry early next year.

Our People
Constable Ben Rutherford, 27, has become a well-known figure on the Canterbury Police Facebook
page. He spoke to Bridget Rutherford about breaking down the barrier between police and
the public through humour
You first appeared on the
police Facebook page when
you made a young boy’s day by
delivering him a photo. Can
you tell me the story behind
that?
I was on an operation based
out of Hanmer. I just took a
photo of the sun rising near
Culverden and sent it to the
media team in Wellington and
asked if we could post it on
Facebook encouraging people
to drive safely on State Highway
7. Then I got a phone call from
the media team saying they had
heard from someone who said
her young son really liked the
photo and wanted a copy. I got in
touch with her and she said her
son wanted to be a police officer,
so I printed the photo and got
it framed and dropped it off the
next week. He was blown away,
I showed him all the switches
and dials in the police car and he
wanted to know what I did and
how long I’ve been in the police.
I can remember being that age
and knowing I wanted to be a
policeman but I didn’t know anyone
who was a cop, and finding
somebody who was and wanting
to ask all these questions.
What’s your job?
I’m on a specialist traffic group
and we do a lot of road safety,
attending crashes, speed enforcement
all that sort of stuff. But we
go to frontline jobs as well. We’re
district-wide and we get taskings.
So if we got complaints about
people going too fast outside
schools, we will go and sit the
police car outside the school at
8.15am, and it’s amazing the affect
that has on people.
How long have you been in
the police and what made you
want to join?
Four-and-a-half years. I
couldn’t do a desk job, I’m just
far too hyperactive. I like being
outside and meeting people. I
didn’t want to do a desk job that
required a degree, although I did
go to university before I joined
the police. I just wanted to be out
there doing it, plus I really like
having a positive influence on
people. People who are continuously
offending, there’s got to be
a reason why they’re doing that.
So I like talking to them and
finding out why and trying to
help them.
What did you study at uni?
I went to Lincoln and did sport
and recreation management.
I’m originally from Tauranga,
but I got a hockey scholarship to
Lincoln. I tried to join the police
straight out of school but
I’d just had a knee
operation and
they said
you’re
young
and
you
need
time
for your
leg to get
back to
normal
strength. So
they said go
get some life
experience and
come back.
Did you
come straight to
Christchurch when you
graduated?
No, I went to Counties Manukau
in South Auckland on
general duties for two years.
It was good, I was thrown in the

deep end. The training is really
good, how you get trained at
college is actually what you deal
with on the street. My wife Sarah
and I were doing long distance
then we got engaged and we
had to make the decision where
we were going to live our lives.
She’s from Christchurch and
I’d studied here so I transferred
back and went to Ashburton for
about eight months, then came
up here.
Do you play a lot of hockey in
your spare time?
Yes, it just consumes the
winter. I try and
keep fit and

I spend
a lot of

Six weeks ago, the business
shifted from Fitzgerald Avenue to 413 Tuam
Street, (on the corner of Saxon St) where
many of their glass works are displayed in a
‘real life’ setting in the new showroom that
has been set up like a home.
You can browse round the
showroom and get ideas, and
at the same time, watch the
glass and work being crafted
in the workshop.
“The possibilities for
incorporating glass into the
home are endless,” Alona
says.
“Clients can
have imagery
such as photos put on to the
glass. This is printed on, so
it’s permanent. Or they can
come up with any design they
desire, and we will produce it
for them. For painted glass we
use Resene paints, which are
mixed by Resene in the client’s
choice of colour. AJ Creative
Glass and Resene both give
a 10-year warranty on their
products.
“Clients have control of their design
from start to finish,” Alona says, “and we
encourage that as it is their home they should
love what they live with.”
The glass items can be
shipped anywhere across
New Zealand, with the
company also having facilities
in Auckland for measure and
installation.
“We are now looking at more
avenues for using glass in the
home. For example, we are
upcycling furniture by adding
painted
and sandblasted glass to
items and bringing them
back to life.”
To see many of the ways glass can be used
creatively, call into their new showroom at
413 Tuam St, with plenty of off-street parking,
phone 338 3733. Check out their website,
www.ajcreativeglass.co.nz or ‘like’ them on
Facebook.
Every now and then you can also catch the
AJ Creative team at the Christchurch Home
Show where they display samples of their
glass creations.

Our People
Breaking down barriers between public and police
•From page 23
I played age group representative
hockey for Tauranga and
some really junior New Zealand
hockey age group stuff. This
year I played in the Canterbury
senior men’s team. I used to do
a bit of coaching but it’s quite
hard fitting it all in with playing
and shift work. The police are
very understanding, and they
promote having a good healthy
work life balance. If you’re playing
reasonably high level sport,
they will accommodate it.
You and Constable Sam
Crozier were snapped strutting
your stuff in the Cup Day fashion
parade. How did you get
roped into that?
It was a stitch up (laughs).
Inspector Waretini – he didn’t so
much as ask, it was more that he
told us. Sam and I got this email
saying we had to report to this
tent at this time. And I was like
‘I know what this is’. We got a lot
of stick from our workmates for
it, but it was good fun, I’ve got
no shame. I think Sam enjoyed it
more than I did, he got more into
it. About 10 people recognised
me on the day from the video we
did just prior to Cup and Show
Week where I did the thing with
the hands. It’s from a movie
called Talladega Nights with Will
Ferrell where he’s trying to give
an interview and he keeps trying
to put his hands on the microphone
and the reporter keeps
saying ‘can you put your hands
down’, and he says ‘I don’t know
where to put my hands’.
The Canterbury Police
Facebook page is very engaging.
Why do you think it’s so
important to get people seeing
that side of police?
It’s really good at breaking
down barriers – we are people
too. But behind every post, there
is a message. It’s breaking down
police being seen as strictly law
enforcement or the fun police.
We like to show we can have a
bit of fun as well. Yes, there’s a
time to be serious, but we like to
have a good time – and it works.
The fashion Cup Day video had
386,000 views and it was all
around the world. My family in
the United Kingdom were sharing
it.
Is there any case or moment
that has stuck with you from
the job?
Probably my first fatal car
crash, which was in Auckland.
I really struggled. The guy who
died was the same age as me,
he was on his way to work and
wasn’t supposed to work that day
but his colleague had applied for
COMPETITIVE: Most of Ben Rutherford’s spare time is spent
playing hockey.
PHOTO: GEOFF SOPER
leave and had been denied, so
this guy offered to work the shift.
I saw me in him – that’s something
I would do. He just had
his birthday and he got hit by a
drink driver and killed. I was the
first car there, and he was still
alive. I crawled into the car to try
and keep him alive but because
of the way the car was bent, we
couldn’t move him. So he died
from asphyxia. That took a lot
to get over, probably because it
was my first one. The most recent
was in Ashburton where a man
was stabbed to death. I was the
first car there and he had two
stab wounds. I basically put my
fingers in his chest and did CPR
until the ambulance arrived. We
thought we had done really well
to keep him alive, but he died in
the hallway. We’ve got a (court)
trial for that next year.
On a lighter note, do any
shenanigans happen here in the
office?
It’s a very respectful environment
because we’ve got such
diversity. There is the occasional
time if you leave your notebook
on the printer, it might be found
stuck on the roof. Everybody’s
pretty quick to point out to you
if you end up on the tv news or
in the paper, you owe them a
chocolate cake.
You might owe your
colleagues a cake after this.
So your family is from the UK
aren’t they?
Yes, my parents moved here
in 1988. My dad’s parents were
missionaries in Kenya, so Dad
grew up there, and after his
parents had finished their stint
there, they moved back to the
UK. That’s where he met my
mum. I was lucky enough to
go to Kenya on a mission trip
with school for six weeks to help
there. To see where my dad grew
up and experience a different
culture was awesome. My wife
and I went over to the UK and
Europe last year to experience a
bit of an OE.
How did you two meet?
Sarah and I met through
hockey down here, she’s a keen
hockey player, she’s better than I
am. She plays for the Canterbury
Cats. Her parents here in
Christchurch have taken me in
like an adopted son.

However,
the council
has decided
it is now time
to carry out
the remaining
earthquake repairs
in tandem with
work to upgrade the
facilities to make them
more user-friendly.
Council manager of Western Area
Recreation Nigel Cox said while there
would be some disruption for people in
the short term the work would be well
managed and was definitely necessary.
“We’re confident the improvements
we’re going to be carrying out will be
really noticeable and beneficial for the
thousands of people who regularly use
these very popular centres.”
Both buildings will be strengthened to
the latest New Zealand Building Code
standards.
Pools will be repaired and the indoor
hydroslide will be replaced at Jellie Park.
Pioneer’s wave chamber will also be
repaired and there will be improved air-

centres as well as refurbished changing
rooms and improvements to the fitness
areas.
Repairs and improvements will include
fixing cracks, painting and repairs to
flooring, walls and ceilings as well as
upgrading fire systems and replacing
wet area flooring with a non-slip hardwearing
material.
The work at Pioneer will start in the
pool area and at Jellie Park the first
project will be the spa, sauna and steam
room.
Phase one of the work is expected to
be complete by December 2019. Work
on Jellie Park’s sport pool and re-roofing
work on both facilities is planned when
new pool facilities will be available at
QEII Recreation and Sport Centre, the
planned Hornby Library, Customer

Metro Sports Facility.
Pioneer and Jellie Park will remain
open overall while repairs are carried out
but some areas will be closed in stages.
Any facility that is closed at Jellie or
Pioneer will be open at another centre,
and recreation and sport members are
able to use other centres at no extra cost.

Bottom left: Chairman Mao
Zedong shakes hands with
Rewi Alley, 1966.
December 2, 2017 marks the 120th
anniversary of the birth of Rewi Alley at
Springfield.
To celebrate the occasion, under
the auspices of the Rewi Alley 120th
Anniversary Commemoration Committee
Canterbury, 10 Canterbury organisations,
along with Rewi’s family, have come
together to highlight Rewi’s legacy.
Delegations totalling about 80 people from
China, including 17 from Rewi’s Chinese
family, as well as about 100 from around
New Zealand, are coming to Christchurch
to take part in commemoration activities.
Through these activities it is hoped to
present to a new generation the story of
this remarkable New Zealander, who had
a huge love and respect for the Chinese
people.
Rewi Alley went to China in 1927,
where he lived until his death in 1987.
His first job in Shanghai involved being
a fireman and factory
inspector. This opened his
eyes to the appalling living
and working conditions of
the ordinary people. Being the
quintessential Kiwi bloke he
was, he rolled his sleeves up and
went to work.
Over the next 60 years, through
civil unrest and Japanese invasion,
he toiled tirelessly, helping during
famine and flood, setting up
industrial co-operatives, establishing
schools and giving the rest of his
life to improving the conditions of
its people. He is one of the 10 most
revered foreigners in China.
Canterbury Museum benefitted from
his donations of many beautiful artefacts
(www.rewialleyart.nz), collected in China
over many decades.
Commemoration activities
the general public are invited to
attend are:
• Friday, December 1: 9.30am unveiling of a plaque to Rewi by Councillor Jimmy
Chen on behalf of the Mayor of Christchurch, at his former high school (Boys’
High) at the Christchurch Arts Centre, followed by a visit to a photographic
display on his life in one of the largest rooms in that same school. This display
runs until December 2, 10am-5pm
• A display at the Canterbury Museum of some of the Chinese artefacts Rewi
donated to that museum www.rewialleyart.nz
• Saturday,December 2: 10am: opening of the Garden of Reflection in
Chamberlain Park, Amberley by the Governor-General of New Zealand, Her
Excellency the Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy.
• 2pm: Commemoration ceremony and display of the memorial erected
20years ago at Rewi Alley Memorial & Park, Springfield.

4 Law/PuzzLes
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, and 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 Care Plan has no specific
statutory status in New Zealand, and is
AdvAnCE
CARE
plans
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 our Senior’s
team a call on 03 352 2293 to arrange an
appointment to discuss your situation.

Decision making
By Ali Scott
A mother and her
young son were
driving through
an old part of
town when a big
earthquake struck.
Mum managed to
pull over to the side of
the road and park safely
as the shaking subsided.
They sat quietly. And then the young
boy started to shake and his mother
could see he was struggling with
emotions and words at the same time.
Between catching his breath and holding
it, he said, “I want to be brave but I can’t
be brave because I want to cry. And I
want to cry but I can’t because I want to
be brave.”
And his mother said, “It doesn’t matter
which one you do first,” and then when
the young boy thought it didn’t matter,
he did what came easily and he cried.
That night for dinner, (and this was
a boy who didn’t eat his vegetables), he
asked if he could have broccoli, “because
that’s what brave boys eat”.
Sometimes there are situations in life
where we need to choose, situations
where it seems we can’t do both. Stay or
go? Travel or settle? Head or heart? Cry
or be brave? And when we think about
what is more important to us, we can
end up going nowhere, like the Pushmi
Pullyu, the fictitious llama-like character
with a head at each end pulls itself in
opposite directions and ends up going
nowhere.
Another name for this problem is a
values conflict. Like being stuck between
a rock and a hard place, going round
in circles or banging our head against a
brick wall, when all we are trying to do
is work out what we value and what is
most important to us.
At life’s transition points, such as
the nest emptying, a new job, health
challenges or relationships changing, we
are often in situations where we need
to work out what is most important
for us, what we are valuing right now,
because as we grow we change. When
Brave
Boys eat
Broccoli
– or how we
know what’s most
important
we are young we value
excitement and
challenge over peace
and harmony. And
when we are older
some of
what is
important
to us
changes. You
know you have
reached ‘maturity’
when a cup of tea and a
lie down will fulfil your heart’s desire.
So, as we go through life’s transitions
and are faced with those big decisions,
what do we do?
What was so lovely about the mother
saying it didn’t matter, was that the
child forgot about what was the ‘right’
or ‘wrong’ thing to choose and relaxed
enough to do what came easily. Because
it actually did matter – the child needed
to cry and then be brave, so brave that
eating broccoli was a cinch.
So, here are three techniques for
sorting that values conflict and making
space between the rock and the hard
place.
1. Just pretend, for a moment, that it
doesn’t matter. Pretend that the clouds in
the sky are more important, or the dog
on the street or the bird on the fence is
more important. And in that moment
when you forget and relax, you will
remember something you know is really
important.
2. Send those thoughts outside to play
because the idea that they are opposites
and at odds is an illusion. They are,
in fact, connected. You can’t be brave
unless you know when to be afraid. And
crying takes a certain kind of bravery.
Let them play away. And it may be that
an even brighter and better idea arrives
back on your doorstep.
3. If after pretending, and cloud
Ali Scott
gazing, and even after the playing away it
still feels like the Pushmi Pullyu, you can
toss a coin for it. Not because it doesn’t
matter and anything is better than the
tension and inertia. But because, in that
brief moment when the coin is in the air,
you suddenly know what you are hoping
for.

Resuscitation Council GUIDELINE
9.3.2 (2014) for the Resuscitation
of a Drowning Victim states
‘Compression-only CPR is not
the recommended resuscitation
method. The primary cause of
cardiac arrest in drowning is a lack
of breathing. Compression-only CPR
circulates oxygen-poor blood and
fails to address the victim’s need for
immediate ventilation’.
RE-START is the easiest, most
accurate way to deliver correct,
repeatable ventilation with no risk or
fatigue to the rescuer.

Forward 50 talks to former owner Trish Coleman about
her experiences there and about changing direction with
her new business.
Why did you get into that business and
how long did you own it for?
Nor’Wester was the most challenging and defining
thing I have done to date. During our 17 years of
ownership, it tested every ounce of me mentally,
emotionally and physically. Timing is everything. My
brother was home from Perth after working in the
mines, I was ready for a change after working in local
government for 17 years, and my husband Tim needed
less physically demanding work from his building
business, having been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
We saw a gap in the market, the ideal building came up
for sale, we attracted the talented Andrew Brown as head
chef and the rest is history. Experiences in the restaurant
were far reaching and require a book not a Q&A to cover!
Generally though, creating a restaurant from scratch
with no industry experience was a big undertaking and
a steep learning curve. Stepping up to food and wine
challenges and competitions tested and honed our skills
and systems, and we were rewarded often. Buying out our
business partners in 2005 and managing the exit in 2014
were all valuable experiences.
What made it so successful?
While we were hands-on owners, the staff were
our backbone. Over the years we worked with many
outstanding individuals. Some came fully qualified,
others we grew into professionals as their potential was
realised. We involved our staff in a lot of our decision
making, and were always keen to attract people who
knew more than us.
Customer feedback was king at Nor’Wester. It made us
the great restaurant we were. We were only as good as our
last service, and I was always grateful for the customers
who took the time to notify us of their good and not so
good experiences.
Trading
challenges
Hospitality is not for
the faint-hearted. We
did a lot of behindthe-scenes
stuff that people
might never imagine a
restaurant would do. The work
around defining our culture,
our training and development and
food safety programmes, food and wine
training, and recycling initiatives, they were all
pretty special.
Why did you decide to sell that business
and start a new, different type of
enterprise?
The last four years of the restaurant were very tough,
especially as competition continued to grow. Restaurant
margins generally are very small, but with fewer patrons,
ours went into the red. The Christchurch earthquakes
kept us afloat for a period. The influx of people from
Christchurch and the destruction of many restaurants
in the city left provincial restaurants with opportunity.
It gave us a boost for a time, but slowly the reality of not
enough ‘bums on seats’ to sustain our level of product
and service came back to haunt us, and it took its toll. I
had neither the energy or the will to make the changes
necessary for us to continue. I would have had to cut
the guts out of the place to make it viable, and I had no
appetite to do this.
What have been the challenges in
starting something new?
Getting back in the saddle so soon was the hardest.
Tim and I would have liked a year to recuperate, but
the opportunity of grabbing the site we are in now was
too good to let go. We sold the restaurant in June 2014
and began work on Mumma T Trading Lounge in the
November and opened March 2015. We have settled our
shop footprint, and have stock levels to where I want
them. With the bricks and mortar phase settled, we are
looking forward to stepping up our marketing strategy –
there is much to do in 2018.
What do you find
fulfilling about
owning and running a
business?
It may sound strange, but I love the
challenge around self-discipline. I work
quickly to find remedies to problems I face.
Whether that be tracking down a person with the
skill-set I don’t have, or reading a book for knowledge.
Being self-employed means you have to be a self-starter, a
self-manager, a self-discipliner. It’s not for everyone.
In saying that, though, I am a very ‘unstructured’
person. Routine doesn’t sit easily with me, so I love the
fact that I can design a work programme that fits my
body clock and rhythm. Half the time I couldn’t even tell
you what day of the week it is, and that suits me fine. Tim
and I were unable to have a family (that’s another long
story), and I guess without dependents we are able to go
with the flow pretty easily. Our health and wellbeing is a
big one for both of us. I no longer smoke or drink coffee
and I eat three meals a day. I enjoy wine, sometimes
too much, other than that I lead a pretty, healthy
uncomplicated lifestyle. Tim is amazing in managing his
MS. It is great that he can still be involved in this business
at his pace, something he would struggle to do if working
for someone else.
What advice would you give anyone
50-plus who is thinking of changing
direction?
The answer always lies within you. If the opportunity
before you really excites you then that is a great start. I
then ask, if I don’t do this, how will I feel when I look
back knowing I had this opportunity but didn’t take it.
In addition, I ask, am I prepared to run the risk of this
failing? Can I bear that risk? If the answer is yes to all
that, then go for it.

8 HealtHy eating
By Lea Stening,
Dietitian
If we want to enjoy
the company of
friends and family
as we get older, then
it is important that
we look after their
health, as well as our
own, as we age.
We can do this by
not only serving them
less alcohol and more
healthy foods at our parties and
gatherings this Christmas, but also by giving
those we love gifts that promote better health.
Tips for healthier giving
FooD giFtS
Instead of always giving boxes of chocolates, shortbread,
cakes or truffles that can be very high in saturated fat
and energy, why not try something new this year? While
lowering cholesterol levels, and reducing weight and the
risk of diabetes usually comes down to how much of these
foods we have, the following ideas may certainly head you
and your friends in a healthier direction:
• Halve the number of mini Christmas mince pies you
usually give, bundle them up in cellophane and bulk up
the parcel with cherries.
• Turkish delight or licorice
• Dried fruits or combination of dried fruits, nuts and
seeds (unsalted)
• A basket of fresh seasonal fruit
• A basket of cherries
• A mixed basket of anti pasta foods such as jars of
sun-dried tomatoes, gherkins, pickled onions, tinned
oysters, salmon, fruit paste and fruit logs
• If you want a cheese theme, choose feta, Camembert
or Brie, but you could also add a variety of hummus or
pestos.
• Try a seafood basket such as canned oysters, mussels,
tuna, salmon, crabmeat and shrimps, complete with a
lemon or two.
• Bottles of avocado or olive oil – you can get these now
spiked with flavours such as orange, lemon and lime.
Here’S TO
a HeaLTHIer
happy Christmas
• A variety of mustards, onion marmalades, pickles or
relish to accompany meat or vegetable dishes
• A variety of herbal teas or a selection of coffee
beans
• Replace the crisps with toasts, pumpernickel
bread or whole wheat crackers.
• A selection of tomato sauces or oil-based
dressings
FitneSS iDeaS
To encourage people to get fitter you could give the
following:
• A gym membership or membership to a sports club
• A basket containing a drink bottle, gym towel,
pedometer, sports toiletries e.g. deodorant, sunscreen or
flowing soap
• Sports gear e.g. rackets, balls, hula hoops, swing ball,
golf balls, golf towels, roller blades, swimming goggles,
knee or elbow protectors etc.
• Sports clothing, sun hats and sun visors, beach bags and
towels, vouchers for sports shops
• Lessons for golf, tennis, squash, horse riding, cycling,
swimming, coaching in athletics, rugby or netball.
PamPering treatS
Busy people often need to just re-connect with
their bodies, to value the bits that still work and to
de-stress and look after their mental health. Gift
ideas could include:
• Facials, pedicures, massages, nail treatments,
spa treatments
• Baskets of skincare products
• Vouchers to their favourite hairdresser
• Magazine subscriptions and coffee
vouchers
• Dinner for two and a night away
• Service vouchers so they can save
time and energy; they might cover
jobs such as babysitting, house
and car cleaning, dry cleaning,
lawn and garden maintenance.
giFtS to heLP the LeSS
Fortunate
If your family or friends feel
fortunate this Christmas and would like to give a gift that
benefits the less fortunate you might also like to donate to
Oxfam. In this way your generosity can benefit the health
and lives of others in developing countries. Here are some
examples of what your donation can give to those less
fortunate:
• A pair of chickens $15
• A goat $47
• Clean water for 25 people $45
• Food hamper $28
• Christmas honey bees $21
• A pig $40
• Build a toilet $50
• Solar energy $58
Visit www.oxfam.org.nz for more details.
Also don’t forget the City Mission this Christmas. Their
food bank works hard to give Christmas dinner to the
needy and food parcels to those less fortunate not only at
Christmas but all year round.

Parkinson’s is a condition that affects
more than 13,000 New Zealand. One per
cent of Kiwi adults over the age of 60 have
the disease, but it can affect anyone of any
age.
However, while there are no known
cures, and drugs treat only some of the
issues, exercise and movement have been
shown to significantly improve the lives of
those who have Parkinson’s, ExerciseNZ
chief executive Richard Beddie says.
“What’s important is that exercise needs
intensity and also a cognitive function –
engaging the mind and the body – to have
the best effects. So, things such as dancing,
or workouts with certain types of agility
components, can be the most effective,”
Mr Beddie says.
“People with Parkinson’s should get
good advice, work with their doctor or
physio, and then an exercise professional
that has specialist training. Starting
exercise early after diagnosis is key for the
best outcomes.
“Parkinson’s is a progressive,
neurological disease, with no cure.
Symptoms and progression can be
managed, as exercise helps,” he says.
Regular
exercise can
improve lives
for people
with Parkinson’s
“Even 20 minutes a day of gentle exercise
can help people. Exercise increases the
body’s response to dopamine cells in the
brain, thus slowing the progression of the
disease in some people, and helping to
manage the symptoms in others.”
Symptoms of Parkinson’s include lack
of balance, tremors, stiffness or rigidity,
and slowness of movement known as
bradykinesia.
“Balance exercises assist with reducing
falls,” Mr Beddie says. “People with
Parkinson’s are at greater risk of falls.
Exercise activities such as walking or
dancing are steps in the right direction for
people living with Parkinson’s disease.”
Note: There is no cure but there is
a range of treatments for Parkinson’s
diesease. Scientists and researchers agree
patients benefit from physical therapy.
While Parkinson’s itself is not considered
fatal, people can die from complications of
the disease.
Pensioners amazed
by new hearing aids
Hearing aids have historically been
something most people have avoided for
as long as possible. On average, a person
experiencing hearing difficulties will
delay seeking help in this regard for over
seven years. Imagine enduring any other
medical complaint for so long!
In New Zealand, one in six people
have some degree of hearing difficulty.
Over the age of 60, more than half the
population are living with a significant
hearing reduction. As the main first sign
of this is a drop in speech clarity, it can
easily be blamed on other people not
speaking properly, the TV sound being
unclear, or just too much social noise
causing the problem.
A leading Danish hearing aid
manufacturer has just launched a
brand-new range of instruments that
are amazing pensioners with hearing
difficulties around the world. These
incredibly discreet devices are so
comfortable, you can forget you are
wearing them. Hear Again, the newly
opened hearing clinic at The Hub,
Hornby, have been fitting these devices to
their many very satisfied clients with huge
success.
Nick D. aged 78, describes his
experience.
“I was reluctant to have my hearing
tested as I really didn’t want to get hearing
aids,” he says. “It was only when my
granddaughter said she was concerned
that I was missing out on family fun that
I thought I should check it out. We have a
big family and when they all get together,
it becomes too noisy for me. I just take
myself off into another room.”
Nick had a FREE hearing check at
Hear Again, which confirmed he had a
reduction in his hearing causing social
noise to be a problem for him. After being
provided with a pair of the new hearing
aids he cannot believe the difference.
“It’s just like I’ve got my ears back
again. Nobody can see I’ve got the hearing
aids in and they feel so comfortable, I
forget they are there!” says Nick, “I can
hear so clearly now, the kids can’t get
away with anything! The whole family are
so pleased!”
Neil Hardisty, NZAS Audiometrist, sees
results like these every day at Hear Again.
Neil has been expertly overcoming
hearing difficulties for residents of
Christchurch since moving here from the
UK in 2009. He is frequently praised for
his limitless patience, wonderful caring
nature and ability to solve problems other
clinicians have deemed impossible. Neil is
never satisfied until you are. His expertise
coupled with this very latest technology
makes for a winning combination.
Hear Again offer FREE no-obligation
initial hearing assessments. If you, or
any of your loved ones have noticed any
difficulties with your hearing, this can be
quickly and painlessly checked for you at
The Hub, 418 Main South Road, Hornby.
If you already have hearing aids from any
manufacturer, we will give them a FREE
5 star service for you to ensure they are in
tip-top condition. Call 03 974 1658.
We look forward to delighting you with
our service and help you to rejoin the
conversation.

By Ross Kiddie
Escape has been a
popular brand for
Ford New Zealand.
That being the
case, I was surprised
when the name
of the sport utility
vehicle was dropped
in favour of Kuga. The
latter also sold well, but
now Ford has reverted back
to Escape, the latest name change
also coinciding with a new release.
New
release
with a familiar
name
Those who do relate to the old Escape will be aware of
its pedigree; it was a model shared similarly with Mazda
(Tribute) in New Zealand and had its origins in Taiwan.
The new Escape is totally different. It is now sourced
from Europe – Spain to be exact, and unlike its V6
predecessor it has only four cylinders, but there are many
varying engine types – diesel and petrol and in 1.5-litre
or 2-litre capacity. The range is extensive, with seven
models starting from $37,990, some offered in fourwheel-drive.
The test car was Titanium-badged and sits in the
line-up at $53,490; there is only one model with a higher
ticket and that is the diesel-powered version with the
same specification ($54,990).
The 2-litre petrol, all-wheel-drive variant is certainly a
worthy choice. The Escape in this form is a cross between
the traditional SUV and a sports car, that comment
simply because of its engine output – it is rated at 178kW

and 345Nm.
That’s mostly due to the turbocharging system
fitted to the twin-camshaft, 16-valve unit; it offers
significant boost at a low operating area. Peak
power arrives at just 5500rpm, while maximum
torque is available all the way from 2000rpm to
4500rpm. The significance of those figures is the
punchy way the engine works – it is feisty and lively,
yet it delivers with little audible sound.
If you also factor in the way power is transferred
through a silky-smooth, six-speed automatic gearbox,
the driveline is structured for quick momentum with a
responsive nature.
The Escape in this form will accelerate from a standstill
in 8sec and will complete an overtaking time of 4.9sec to
make 120km/h from 80km/h. My comments about sports
car performance aren’t an exaggeration.
Ford is quite proud of its Ecoboost range of engines;
they have been developed not so much for the
performance I’ve just commented on, but they also stand
out for their economy.
As it turned out, I drove the new Escape at city speeds
for a fair chunk of my evaluation and that wasn’t kind to
the economy, with the fuel usage readout listing around
10.6-litres per 100km (27mpg) when I took the car back
to the dealership.
That’s quite distant from Ford’s combined average
cycle claim of 8.6l/100km (33mpg), but that’s put into
perspective when you take into account the 6.2l/100km
(46mpg) sitting instantaneously at a steady 100km/h, the
engine turning over at just 1750rpm.

The evaluation car was riding on sport specification
Continental tyres (235/45 x 19in). With their wide
footprint and formidable reputation there is a lot of
steering feel and strong self-centering feel within the
steering mechanism. Turn-in is direct and accuracy
within the handling process is positive.
I particularly like the way the Escape handles, and that
doesn’t surprise me. I’m a big European Ford fan, and the
way the designers engineer balance and handling ability
into the chassis of all their varying model styles is a credit
to them.
The Escape is also fitted with state-of-the-art gear for
comfort, convenience and safety. Some of the major items
include full leather trim with heated front seats, satellite
navigation, full-length electric sunroof, voice recognition
communication and infotainment, and radar cruise
control. Of course, it is also five-star safety rated.
I was a little ambivalent when I picked up the Escape;
I knew that its engine wouldn’t live up to the thrill of
the old Volvo-derived, 2.5-litre, turbo five-cylinder unit
found in some variants of the old Kuga, which is still one
of my favourite engines. That being the case, the Escape’s
2-litre engine had to really work hard to win me over and
I should have known it wouldn’t disappoint. Its honesty,
power outputs and generally quiet operating manner
make it a real honey.
Just as well, then, that the rest of the vehicle has
the quality to support it – the entire package is quite
outstanding. It will certainly lure Escape buyers of old,
and those who are contemplating trading up from Kuga.

Gardening
STRIKING: Marigolds in full bloom. They flower annually.
Still time to plant
IF YOU haven’t got your summer
planting finished it’s not too late
to get your vegetables and flowers
in the ground.
Hopefully, you will at least
have your soil ready for planting.
If not, then add in plenty of
compost or garden mix now and
combine well with your existing
soil before you plant out.
There is something special
about growing your own vegetables
– watching them grow from
seed/seedling to a scrumptious
crop through your own tender
loving care might be why they
taste better.
No matter how big or small the
space available; you can successfully
grow veges in regular garden
beds, raised beds or in pots and
containers.
Tasty vegetables to plant now
include beans, beetroot, carrots,
celery, corn, cucumber, onions,
peas, pumpkin, radish, potatoes,
spinach, tomatoes and zucchini,
not to mention the great range of
lettuces available.
If space really is an issue, there
are plenty of dwarf varieties you
can grow. For plants that need
support like tomatoes or beans,
put your support stakes/structures
in place before you plant
your young plant so you don’t
disturb the roots later on.
Summer flowering annuals
can also be planted now in either
beds or large containers. Flower
varieties to grow are alyssum,
aster, cornflower, cosmos, livingstone
daisy, lobelia, marigold,
SWEET: Pumpkins should
now be developing well.
nemesia, portulaca, petunia, statice,
salvia, stock, sunflowers and
zinnia – to name just a few.
Also, think about planting
some varieties in your vegetable
garden to help attract bees and
other beneficial insects to aid pollination.
Fresh herbs can also now be
safely planted, such as basil,
chives, dill, marjoram, mint,
oregano, parsley, sage, tarragon,
thyme and rosemary. They can be
grown successfully in containers
or in the garden, preferring a hot,
free-draining site.
Add some fertiliser to fruit
trees and shrubs to encourage
growth. Citrus trees should be fed
with a specific citrus fertiliser. Do
not apply fertiliser in very dry hot
conditions such as the peak of
summer when plants can suffer
from heat or moisture stress.
Keep garden design simple
SIMPLE, uncluttered garden
design is especially appropriate
when space is limited.
Whether you want a serene
look or something dramatic, you
can achieve it by mass planting
just a few carefully chosen
plant species, each with strong
features.
Flowers are not essential (year
round good looks and healthy
foliage are more important), but
as seasonal highlights they can
make the garden all the more
interesting.
Mass planting by itself can be
dull. Break up the monotony by
choosing an accent plant that
can be repeated throughout the
design.
Planting in pots adds extra
zing and makes it easy to change
or relocate your accent plants
when you feel like a new look,
or a change between seasons.
As well as accents, every garden
needs a strong focal point.
Often a sculpture, this could
also be a piece of furniture or
garden architecture, a water
feature, or just one stunning
plant in a spectacular pot.
Container gardening is a great
way to enjoy getting your hands
dirty. The trend is towards
simplicity – bigger pots and less
of them.
Classy containers deserve
classy plants, and those that last
the distance.
For pots in prime positions
choose plants with a strong
WARM: Use canna tropicanna for visual affect.
STRONG: Mass planting provides this corner with something
dramatic.
well defined shape, preferably
symmetrical so that they look
good from all angles.
Cordyline red fountain is
one such plant. Its cascading
mass of bright burgundy leaves
rises from a short central base,
becoming thicker and more
lavish with time.
Tolerant of dry spells,
cordyline red fountain performs
exceptionally well in a large pot.
Another spectacular container
plant is cordyline caruba black.
With wide shiny purple-black
leaves and a strongly upright
habit (up to 1.2m tall by 45cm
wide), it makes a striking
contrast in both colour and
form.
Bromeliads and slow growing
cycads (sago palms) are ideal
container plants for warm
climates.
The favourite bromeliad for
big pots is Alcantarea imperialis,
a stunningly symmetrical plant
with bold leathery leaves.
Alcantera is a warm climate
plant but will tolerate cold
nights, and even light frosts once
settled.
Containers offer a no fuss way
to enjoy the seasonal colour of
bulbs and flowering annuals.
When flowering stops, pots
can be replanted or simply
moved from view.
A fabulous summer accent
plant for a warm climate garden
is canna tropicanna. Fantastic in
large containers, it is loved for its
fiery striped leaves, followed by
tall bright orange flower spikes.
Cut right back in autumn the
vibrant leaves reappear with
fresh brilliance in spring.
When we plant whole groups
of a few carefully chosen
varieties, the effect is bold and
deliberate, bringing strength and
character to the garden. But not
all plants are suitable for mass
planting. Anything with a down
time is going to be a blot on your
landscape for a large part of the
year.
So the first priority is to choose
a plant that looks great for at
least most of the year.

VOLVO S90: Luxury sedan with price and driveline
suprises.
• By Ross Kiddie
FROM THE company that
brought us some of the
most delightful internal
combustion engines of all
time, I was surprised to
hear that Volvo is planning
to make electric vehicles
only from 2020.
That being the case, I
must say that I’m disappointed
to see the end
of the wailing, Yamahainspired
V8 that thrilled us
so much, and the fabulous
five-cylinder series that
characterised the company
for decades.
However, Volvo is saying
farewell to petrol
power with a bang, they
have a new four-cylinder
engine which can only be
described as extraordinary,
the power outputs are
mammoth for a 2-litre unit
– 235kW and 400Nm.
The car I experienced
this engine in is the Volvo
S90 T6 – a four-door luxury
sedan, in this case in
Inscription specification.
Of course, those power
figures can’t be achieved
without some sort of forced
induction, the engine is
both supercharged and
turbocharged. That’s not
unusual, Volkswagen had
a design which used both
techniques but it didn’t
glean quite as much power
as Volvo claim.
That aside, the S90 is
quick, it will launch to
100km/h in 5.9sec and will
top end at 250km/h, that’s
not bad for a two-tonne
vehicle. Yes, the S90 is big,
at almost 5m it cocoons
those on board with space
to burn and high levels of
comfort.
When you think of a
prestige vehicle you normally
associate that with
a premium price, but at
just on $100k the S90
Inscription is a bargain for
its level of kit and performance.
The specification details
are way too comprehensive
to detail at length, but I
must make mention of the
central command centre,
which bears a close resemblance
to an iPad and has
a similar operating system,
its functions are deep and
control most of the cabin’s
integral features.
You would guess correctly
that the S90 has safety
features in abundance,
all of the new-age gear is
included and, as we know
from Volvo, it has some of
the items which are preautonomous,
Volvo is just a
short step away from producing
driverless cars.
However, the S90 is all
about the driving experience,
and there is a threemode
driveline management
protocol system
which the driver can select
to best adapt for each journey
– economical, comfort
and sport.
• Price – Volvo S90 T6,
$99,900
• Dimensions –
Length, 4963mm;
width, 1879mm;
height, 1443mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1998cc, 235kW,
400Nm, eight-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 5.9sec
• Fuel usage –
7.2l/100km
I used comfort mostly,
the engine is just so
powerful it will respond
dynamically in that mode
if requested. The surge of
power is delightful and
the subdued shriek as the
supercharger winds up is
delightful to listen to.
Drive is channelled
through an eight-speed
automatic transmission.
The engine/gearbox combination
is smooth, shifts can
barely be felt, and with the
close proximity of ratios
the engine is kept honest
and eager.
That is if you make wilful
use of the accelerator, if
you want to drive sedately
then the engine works
almost in a lethargic manner,
changing at around the
2000rpm mark, optimising
the torque curve and
the low area at which the
engine develops its power.
Incidentally, like most
forced induction engines,
peak power is rewarded
at just 5700rpm, while the
strong torque maximum
is listed from 2200rpm to
5400rpm. The result is a
fluid flow of power which
is strong and exciting right
up to the red-line area.
No matter what speed
you are travelling, the S90
is a relaxed and capable
traveller.
Volvo claims a 7.2-litre
per 100km/h (39mpg)
combined cycle fuel usage
average. I couldn’t get anywhere
near that, but my
10l/100km (28mpg) figure
could be excused by a couple
of in-traffic, stop-start
trips across the city.
Even though the S90 is
a quite bulky, it feels agile
and a lot of that can be put
down to the chassis. Drive
is fed to all four wheels,
and with 20in Pirelli tyres
the car has steering to envy.
The PZero rubber is often
regarded as the world’s
finest in terms of grip and
quality, the steering in the
S90 is accurate and feedback
is simply delightful.
I took the evaluation car
on my usual high country
run and it covered ground
effortlessly and capably,
and that from a vehicle that
could almost be regarded
as limousine-like.
I’m scheduled to drive
a new Volvo XC60 sport
utility vehicle soon,
depending on what future
models are released by
Volvo it could well be
my last drive of a pistonpowered
vehicle from
the company. Whatever
the outcome, Volvo has
certainly saved one of its
best powerplant to last, or
thereabouts.
However, I am sure whatever
the company produces
in the future, there will be
more surprises.

Matt
Summerfield
competing
in his Subaru
Impreza last
weekend at
Tauranga. He is
hopeful a new
group AP4 car
could help him
go one better
in next year’s
national rally
championship.
Runner-up Summerfield
has sights set on new car
• By Gordon Findlater
A NEW ride in 2018
could be the ticket for
Matt Summerfield after
finishing second in the
closest New Zealand Rally
Championship title fight in
recent history.
Although disappointed
not to have claimed a
maiden national title
Summerfield can also
acknowledge that his team
have punched above their
weight on a limited budget.
The 25-year-old battled
against the odds this year,
competing in a 10-year-old
Subaru. The majority of the
front-runners in the championship
are operating
brand new AP4 vehicles.
“Ideally another car
would be best but if not,
then I still feel like next
year we could still turn up
with the car we have and
give it good nudge. It would
be bloody hard work to do
it like that though,” said
Summerfield.
Summerfield, 25,
finished second at the
weekend’s Rally New Zealand
in Tauranga behind
World Rally Championship
star Hayden Paddon
in his Hyundai i20 AP4.
However, the result wasn’t
enough for him to overhaul
Andrew Hawkeswood
• By Gordon Findlater
A FUTURE star in
women’s cricket has been
unearthed from Heaton
Intermediate’s three-peat
at the New Zealand
Primary School Shield.
Estella Wallace was the
top run scorer and won the
tournament’s MVP award
after scoring 209 runs in
four innings at the tournament
finals. She finished
unbeaten in three of those
innings, meaning she
finished with an average
of 209 and a strike rate of
105.56.

in the New Zealand
Championship.
Hawkeswood went
into the final round of
the championship with a
10-point lead on Ben Hunt,
with Summerfield one
point behind in third.
Summerfield took away
a total of 30 championship
points from the final
round. However, he needed
Hawkeswood to run into
trouble on the rally’s final
day if he was to have a
chance of overhauling him.
Hawkeswood finished
third in his Mazda2 AP4,
7.9sec behind Summerfield
to win the championship
by 10 points. An 11th place
finish saw Hunt slip to
third in the final championship
standings.

championship to win two
rounds. However, gearbox
failure at the opening
round at Rally of Otago
and a crash at Rally of Coromandel
proved costly.
Next year’s championship
will feature a new
event. Rally South Canterbury
will feature on June
23, three weeks after Rally
Canterbury. With Rally
Otago on April 14-15 the
2018 championship will
feature an even split of
North and South Island
events, unlike previous
championships.
“It’s definitely going to
help having another rally
down south. Some of us
are pretty familiar with the
South Canterbury roads,”
said Summerfield.
“It’ll save some money
as well.”
Pupil in form with bat and ball
The national title was
Heaton’s fifth in six years.
They went through the
tournament relatively
unchallenged with their
narrowest victory coming
in the form of a 27-run
victory over Holy Cross
School from Papatoetoe.
Wallace may not be
the only future star to
come out of Heaton. Last
year Georgia Edge won
the MVP award. The
now Christchurch Girls’
High School student was
recently named in the under-21
Canterbury Junior
Magicians squad.

Meredith eyes up ASB Classic
• By Gordon Findlater
FRESH OFF winning his first
Canterbury Open title, James
Meredith now hopes to put his
name into one of the best ASB
Classic line-ups ever assembled.
Meredith, 27, will compete in
the New Zealand Tennis Championships
in Auckland next
week. The winner of the tournament
is granted a wildcard entry
into the ASB Classic held in
Auckland in January.
“That’s the goal,” said Meredith.
“Getting there won’t be easy
though, there will be a lot of
quality players on court next
week who have a realistic chance
of doing exactly the same. There
should be some really good
contests,” said Meredith.
Five top-20 world ranked players
are confirmed for next year’s
ASB Classic including 2009 US
Open champion Juan Martin del
Potro, world No 8 Jack Sock and
two-time winner in Auckland
John Isner.
“It’s a huge line-up. To play in
a tournament with names like

just ran out of steam. This time
I’m looking forward to just
concentrating on singles and
giving that a good crack,” said
Meredith.
Meredith is likely to be seeded
fourth for the championships
behind Finn Tearney, Olly
Sadler and defending champion
Artem Sitak. He shouldn’t be
phased if he sets up a semi-final
meeting with any of the other
top seeds. He recently defeated
Tearney 6-1, (retired) in the
Auckland interclub competition.
He has also previously accounted
for Sitak 7-6, 6-1 at the
2015 Canterbury Open.
At the weekend, Meredith
added his name to the Canterbury
Open trophy. The tournament
has run since 1901 and
contains names such as Onny
Parun, Brian Fairlie, Alistair
Hunt, David Lewis and Mark
Nielson and Rubin Statham.
He cruised through the
opening two rounds of the
tournament before defeating
his brother Matthew Meredith
6-1, 6-4 in the semi-final. In the
final he met Elmwood’s Hayden
Joblin.
After dropping the first set
in an entertaining tiebreaker
Meredith recovered by breaking
early in the second set and
controlling the game from there
to win 6-7, 6-3, 6-1.
The women’s title was won by
Cashmere’s Tessa McCann who
defeated top seed Emily Martin
6-3, 6-1.

December 4-9.
Pride secure
another home
football final
• By Gordon Findlater
CANTERBURY United Pride have
booked their fourth straight home
final in the National Women’s
League.
Going into Sunday’s final round
of action, the Pride needed a win to
keep their hopes of a title defence
alive. However, with other results
going their way it means they
finished at the top of the roundrobin
standings and have advanced
directly to the final at English Park
on December 10.
A young Pride team, depleted of
their four national team players,
defeated Central Football 3-2 in
Palmerston North. The Pride were
rocked by an early Central goal when
Rose Morton found the net. But the
Pride soon hit back with a brace to
Cody Taylor putting them in front
and the vital win seemed secure
when Rebecca Lake made it 3-1.
Football Ferns Annalie Longo,
Victoria Esson, Meikayla Moore
and Aimee Phillips have all now
retuned from national duties in
Thailand and will be available for
the final at English Park.
The Pride will meet the winner of
the Auckland Football and Southern
United match this weekend.

Extending
outdoor living
Rain and wind-proofing an outdoor space adds value to a
property. With a roof or clear vinyl sides, your buyers can
see an area where rain doesn’t stop play.
Thanks to blitz advertising,
most Kiwis have heard the name
Archgola. The company and
others like it can add canopies
to decks, enclosing the space for
year-round use.
Undercover verandas, pergolas
and gazebos can be turned into
living space by adding side
panels, which effectively create a
conservatory. Restaurants often
use these spaces, so there’s no
reason why home owners can’t as
well.
Roll-down clear vinyl blinds are
a popular choice, which, if you’re
lucky, can be bought ready made from
hardware stores such as Bunnings
and Mitre10. If not, there are plenty
of companies that will custom
manufacture to fit. Usually these blinds
zip into place and are stored using a
rope-and-pulley system.
Mounting your blinds is very simple.
Typically it involves screwing the
mountings into wood or installing a
track then fitting the blind.
Other options include roll-up shade
cloths or other gazebo or veranda
sides, such as canvas. These aren’t as
windproof as the vinyl blinds, meaning
they’re not a 12-month solution.
If you don’t already have an outdoor
living space, building a pergola doesn’t
generally need planning permission..
Provided the pergola is less than 10
sq m in size, it is usually okay to add
a roof. But a quick call to the council
is a good idea; never risk building an
unpermitted structure.
Another option for quick and easy
rain and windproof outdoor living
is a pop-up gazebo. These can be
turned into dining areas to give buyers
a glimpse of what they could do
themselves.
It’s important to dress them so it
doesn’t look like you’ve just plonked
a gazebo on the lawn. Lights, plants,
furniture and even place settings
can really give a gazebo the Pinterest
touch and bring it to life as an outdoor
entertaining hub for the home.
The more you pay for pop-up
gazebos, the better UV protection of
the fabric and powder coating of the
steel you get.
Heating the outdoor space also
makes it more usable. The cheap option
is a patio heater. Permanent gas, wood
or pellet fireplaces and fire pits are
easier on the eye and can make a
design statement, all-important
when selling a home.
For wind protection, it’s
reasonably simple to erect trellis
and staple brush sides to it or the
existing fence.
Bamboo is particularly good
for this purpose, especially if
you have access to a free source -
although you could also buy it at
all good hardware stores.
