‘Give up’ to stop focus<br />

on family and friends<br />

Police up the ante<br />

on fugitive<br />

who went public<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

POLICE HAVE called on<br />

fugitive Craig Murray Shaw to<br />

give himself up for the sake of his<br />

family and friends.<br />

Police have been raiding<br />

properties throughout the city<br />

looking for the 42-year-old who<br />

has been on the run for just over<br />

two weeks.<br />

“As long as he remains on the<br />

run from police it will have an<br />

impact on his family and friends.<br />

So it would appear he is happy to<br />

inconvenience them while he is<br />

on the run,” Detective Sergeant<br />

Damon Wells said yesterday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> move comes a week<br />

after Shaw contacted the news<br />

media saying police had the<br />

wrong suspect for the $200,000<br />

jewellery burglary at La Bu,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tannery, in Woolston in<br />

November.<br />

<strong>The</strong> burglar cut a hole in<br />

the roof, climbed down into<br />

the mall, broke into the<br />

jewellery store and then left<br />

through the roof.<br />

Shaw told Stuff last week he<br />

had severe asthma and was<br />

too sick to have committed the<br />

break-in.<br />

Detective Sergeant Wells<br />

said search warrants on family,<br />

friends and acquaintances will<br />

continue as they look to find<br />

Shaw, which could mean charges<br />

if they can prove someone is<br />

hiding him.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y need to consider their<br />

options if they are hiding him.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y could face charges if we can<br />

prove it,” he said.<br />

And, in a surprise move<br />

on Tuesday, police recovered<br />

$110,000 of the jewellery haul<br />

from Memorial Park Cemetery<br />

in Bromley. <strong>The</strong>re were about<br />

<strong>15</strong>00 rings inside a bag.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were directed there by<br />

an anonymous tip-off from an<br />

untraceable number – believed<br />

to have been made by Shaw<br />

himself, said Detective Sergeant<br />

Wells.<br />

“I would suggest it is probably<br />

a result of some pressure applied<br />

from associates who are sick<br />

of police coming knocking on<br />

doors trying to find the person<br />

we are after,’’ he said.<br />

Police have executed a number<br />

of search warrants trying to find<br />

him and they would continue, he<br />

said.<br />

He said Shaw himself was<br />

responsible for the search<br />

warrants police were carrying<br />

out.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

News.................................... 3-<strong>15</strong><br />

SOMEWHERE OUT there<br />

Craig Shaw will be thinking:<br />

“Will I hand myself in?”<br />

That’s because police are<br />

starting to tighten the screws<br />

on people they believe have, and<br />

may still be, helping him evade<br />

their grasp (see page 1).<br />

A big chunk of the $200,000<br />

jewellery haul Shaw is suspected<br />

of stealing has turned up.<br />

Detectives now believe Shaw<br />

phoned in the anonymous tip-off<br />

as to where it could be the found.<br />

When people are on the run<br />

they turn to associates for help;<br />

money, food and somewhere to<br />

stay.<br />

Years ago, when a fugitive was<br />

on the run (and believed to be<br />

in the possession of an AK47),<br />

he went to an associate’s home<br />

for help. He was a dangerous<br />

rooster.<br />

Later, when I interviewed that<br />

associate for the newspaper I was<br />

working on at the time, he said<br />

he had no choice but to help.<br />

<strong>The</strong> same is probable for<br />

people who know Shaw.<br />

But the police are getting very<br />

testy.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Teenagers charged over ‘drown him’ case<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

A <strong>15</strong> and 16-year-old have<br />

been charged with aggravated<br />

robbery over the Rolleston<br />

‘drown him’ case.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 16-year-old appeared in<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

IT’S NOT often in a running<br />

race that the leader ends up<br />

running back towards his<br />

closest rival after holding a<br />

5min buffer.<br />

However, that is what<br />

happened for two Christchurch<br />

runners at the Tarawera Ultra<br />

Marathon in Rotorua on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Before tackling the 62km<br />

race, training partners and<br />

good mates Vajin Armstrong<br />

and Chris Dunell had joked<br />

about ending up in a sprint<br />

finish to the line. <strong>The</strong> premonition<br />

turned out true, but they<br />

couldn’t have predicted the<br />

circumstances.<br />

With just over 2km left to run,<br />

Armstrong had a lead of about<br />

5min over Dunell. <strong>The</strong> 37-yearold<br />

then took a wrong turn<br />

because the arrows and flags on<br />

one intersection of the course<br />

had been purposely shifted.<br />

“I ended up in an archery<br />

range. <strong>The</strong>re was a competition<br />

with 50-100 people going on.<br />

It was very confusing,” said<br />

Armstrong.<br />

Armstrong soon spotted<br />

someone who appeared to be<br />

a race marshal and asked if he<br />

was going the right way. She<br />

said he was.<br />

Making his way onto the<br />

archery range, Armstrong was<br />

immediately met with 50-100<br />

equally confused archers. He<br />

returned to the marshal who<br />

told him “I’m a marshal for the<br />

archery competition.”<br />

the Youth Court on Tuesday.<br />

He was remanded without plea<br />

to reappear next month. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>15</strong>-year-old will appear next<br />

week.<br />

<strong>The</strong> alleged robbery took<br />

place after a fireworks display<br />

Armstrong knew he had<br />

strayed off course and returned<br />

to the intersection where he<br />

had gone wrong. Dunell caught<br />

up and was about to make the<br />

incorrect turn as well.<br />

“I was just about to make this<br />

left-hand turn and then I saw<br />

Vajin coming back towards me,”<br />

said Dunell. “I actually thought<br />

he was coming back from the<br />

finish line to cheer me on.”<br />

Armstrong explained to<br />

Dunell that the course markings<br />

must be wrong. <strong>The</strong>y shifted the<br />

flags to signal the correct turn<br />

on November 4.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>15</strong>-year-old victim was<br />

allegedly beaten and then<br />

dragged to a water race where<br />

his head was held under the<br />

water.<br />

His assailants chanted<br />

before completing the last 2km<br />

of the race together.<br />

“Chris being the honourable<br />

fellow he is told me I was well<br />

ahead.”<br />

After giving his mate a tap on<br />

the shoulder and letting him<br />

take line honours, Dunell even<br />

stopped before the finish line to<br />

pick up Armstrong’s water bottle,<br />

which had slipped from his<br />

hydration pack while sprinting<br />

for the line.<br />

Luckily, Armstrong was the<br />

only runner affected by the act<br />

of tomfoolery.<br />

“drown him, drown him”<br />

during the attack.<br />

Police believe there were four<br />

people in the group involved<br />

in the incident, which started<br />

when they allegedly tried to<br />

take the victim’s cap.<br />

Mischief; sportsmanship<br />

“It’s an awesome group of<br />

people who do these sorts of<br />

events and there’s a real sense of<br />

camaraderie, so that overcomes<br />

anything like this.”<br />

After their unique sprint to<br />

the finish, the pair now joke<br />

about the idea of having a best<br />

of five series. <strong>The</strong>y plan on running<br />

the Old Ghost Road 85km<br />

ultra marathon next weekend,<br />

as well as the Motatapu 52km<br />

ultra, 14km City2Surf and<br />

Southern Lakes half marathon<br />

in March to complete the<br />

series.<br />

In Brief<br />

FUTURE OF CTV RUBBLE<br />

Discussions are continuing over<br />

what will happen to the CTV<br />

Building rubble. It has been<br />

stored at the Burwood Resource<br />

Recovery Park while the police<br />

used it as evidence. However,<br />

police will not pursue criminal<br />

charges over the building’s<br />

collapse in the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake. A police spokesman<br />

said it had consulted with the<br />

families of those killed, while<br />

some families will meet with<br />

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern<br />

in Christchurch today.<br />

himself up. Late yesterday police<br />

were considering charges.<br />

Bill English<br />

National’s caucus<br />

will decide<br />

who the new<br />

leader will be on <strong>February</strong> 27.<br />

Judith Collins and Simon<br />

Bridges revealed they would<br />

stand for the position yesterday<br />

morning, followed by Ms<br />

Adams, who was supported by<br />

fellow MPs Nikki Kaye, Maggie<br />

Barry, Tim MacIndoe and Chris<br />

Bishop.<br />

Ms Adams said Mr English<br />

was a “remarkable leader” and<br />

she did not want him to resign,<br />

but respected his decision.<br />

“We know we need to choose<br />

a leader who can take us into<br />

2020.”<br />

At No 7 on National’s list, Ms<br />

Adams is serving her fourth<br />

term as Selwyn MP.<br />

In 2016, political publication<br />

Trans Tasman ranked her the<br />

Government’s best performer<br />

GOOD TIMES THIS<br />

SUMMER<br />

and a “quiet achiever” as justice<br />

minister.<br />

At yesterday’s announcement,<br />

Ms Adams said she believed she<br />

had “very strong support” in<br />

caucus.<br />

She wanted to stand because<br />

she loved New Zealand. She<br />

said she reflected values such as<br />

compassion and integrity and<br />

had proven she could “get things<br />

done.”<br />

Having grown up in Auckland<br />

and now living on a farm near<br />

Aylesbury, Selwyn, she has a<br />

unique blend of urban and rural<br />

experience, she said.<br />

“Since I entered Parliament in<br />

2008, I’ve held 10 portfolios. I<br />

would like to think I’ve proven<br />

to have the ability to approach<br />

the hard issues.”<br />

Ms Kaye has ruled herself out<br />

of contention for both leader<br />

and deputy, while Paula Bennett<br />

has said she wants to regain the<br />

deputy position. Ms Adams said<br />

Ms Bennett had her “full support”<br />

to be deputy leader.<br />

Steven Joyce, Mark Mitchell<br />

and Jonathan Coleman have<br />

said they are undecided as to<br />

whether they would contest for<br />

leadership.<br />

Investigation<br />

into impact<br />

of Northern<br />

Corridor on<br />

traffic flows<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

THE IMPACT the $240 million<br />

Northern Corridor will have on<br />

Cranford and Sherbourne Sts is<br />

being investigated.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has appointed<br />

an independent expert to manage<br />

the predicted downstream<br />

effect of an increase in traffic<br />

through St Albans and Edgeware<br />

into Bealey Ave as part of the<br />

major roading project.<br />

Cranford St will be extended<br />

to four lanes, which will narrow<br />

to two at McFaddens Rd.<br />

City council manager planning<br />

and delivery transport<br />

Lynette Ellis said as part of the<br />

Northern Arterial and Cranford<br />

St upgrade the city council has to<br />

undertake a Downstream Effects<br />

<strong>15</strong>0-year-old boots found in rubble<br />

Church ruins<br />

reveal lost<br />

treasures<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

A PAIR of leather work boots<br />

used to ward off evil spirits has<br />

been discovered in the rubble at<br />

the Sydenham Heritage Church<br />

site.<br />

<strong>The</strong> small boots, which are<br />

more than <strong>15</strong>0-years-old, were<br />

found by contractors as they<br />

cleared the site.<br />

A penny from 1868 with<br />

Queen Victoria on it was inside<br />

one of them to indicate the<br />

year they were left under the<br />

floor boards of the demolished<br />

church’s vestry office.<br />

Sydenham Heritage Trust<br />

chairwoman Dorothy Haywood<br />

said is was an exciting surprise.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> shoes were in the church<br />

because in Victorian times<br />

when the workers built a building,<br />

they left a pair of shoes inside<br />

to scare away the evil spirits<br />

because the shoes took on the<br />

shape of your foot.”<br />

She said it is interesting both<br />

boots were left as it was normal<br />

practice to leave one.<br />

Other items salvaged included<br />

part of the church’s first<br />

reverend Leonard Isitt’s pulpit,<br />

clay pipes, old coins, a Gould &<br />

Co chemist bottle, Sydenham<br />

School trophies, parts of the<br />

communion rail and ink pots.<br />

earthquake, and controversially<br />

demolished two days later.<br />

Contractors finally started<br />

clearing the pile of rubble early<br />

last year, with the last of it to go<br />

within the next week.<br />

Trust member Joshua Moot<br />

said the boots were well worn<br />

and had been resoled three<br />

times. He spent three days<br />

softening the leather and<br />

restoring them.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was a splatter of red<br />

paint on them, suggesting they<br />

belonged to one of the workers<br />

who painted the Gothic arch in<br />

the church, he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> trust wants to construct a<br />

new community building on the<br />

site, which would display the<br />

items found. lt was unknown<br />

when that would happen.<br />

Ms Haywood said in the<br />

meantime, the site would be<br />

landscaped with a temporary<br />

car park to help raise funds for<br />

the rebuild.<br />

She said the church’s northern<br />

wall was still standing, but<br />

its future was still to be decided.<br />

“It’s been a long, long time,<br />

but now we can see our way to<br />

the future.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Tram tracks<br />

concern for<br />

cyclists<br />

AN INVESTIGATION is under<br />

way to see whether the central<br />

city’s tram tracks should be<br />

improved to make it safer for<br />

cyclists to ride on them.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

received reports of incidents<br />

caused by the tracks, and concerns<br />

about cycling on them.<br />

It is surveying cyclists on<br />

whether they have encountered<br />

problems since 20<strong>15</strong>, and what<br />

they were.<br />

City council transport planning<br />

and delivery manager Lynette<br />

Ellis said further information to<br />

fully understand the problem was<br />

needed before developing any<br />

“potential solutions.”<br />

“Council have received some<br />

concerns from residents and there<br />

have also been some reported accidents<br />

around the tram tracks.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has contracted<br />

traffic engineering and planning<br />

company, ViaStrada, to help with<br />

the work. Ms Ellis said the survey<br />

results would be collated by the<br />

end of April.<br />

Any possible solutions would be<br />

reported to the city council once<br />

they had been assessed, she said.<br />

Mystery surrounds value of council<br />

More than 160 works of<br />

art are owned by the city<br />

council. However, the<br />

value and whereabouts<br />

of many of them remains<br />

a mystery. Bridget<br />

THE CITY council has a<br />

treasure trove of pieces by local<br />

the value and locations for most<br />

of them will not be released to<br />

Audit finds CDHB<br />

spending ‘appropriate’<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

AN AUDIT of Canterbury<br />

District Health Board executive<br />

and board expenses found<br />

spending to be in line with the<br />

organisation’s policy.<br />

Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

reported the CDHB<br />

would have an internal<br />

audit to ensure “all of<br />

the right checks and<br />

balances are in place.”<br />

It came after<br />

concerns about over<br />

spending irregularities<br />

by former Waikato<br />

DHB chief executive<br />

Nigel Murray, which<br />

sent ripples through other district<br />

health boards around the<br />

country.<br />

<strong>The</strong> audit findings, which<br />

will be presented to CDHB<br />

board members in a report at a<br />

meeting today, found spending<br />

was in line with the appropriate<br />

policy.<br />

It focused on the expense<br />

reimbursement claims made by<br />

chief executive David Meates,<br />

the executive management<br />

team, and divisional general<br />

managers since November 20<strong>15</strong>.<br />

“Overall, the expense reimbursement<br />

claims we audited<br />

appeared to be appropriate and<br />

reasonable for CDHB purpose<br />

and functions, and we are<br />

confident that there is nothing<br />

to suggest fraudulent or inappropriate<br />

claiming,”<br />

the audit report said.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were three<br />

“minor” exceptions,<br />

but given their nature,<br />

small value and circumstance,<br />

they were<br />

deemed as isolated<br />

oversight errors.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y included 10 of<br />

David Meates the <strong>15</strong>6 claims, totalling<br />

$1417, not having<br />

evidence of sign-off by Mr<br />

Meates. However, the expenditure<br />

was deemed “entirely appropriate”<br />

and had been signed<br />

off by the divisional finance<br />

managers.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were two claims for<br />

alcohol amounting to $29.33<br />

within meal receipts, which<br />

had not been picked up. <strong>The</strong><br />

full amount had since been<br />

recovered.<br />

One claim of $100 was<br />

made for koha, or a donation,<br />

which did not follow the policy<br />

because there was no acknowledgement<br />

note attached.<br />

More work<br />

planned on<br />

unfinished<br />

Riccarton Rd<br />

upgrade<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

ANOTHER contractor is being<br />

sought to finish unforeseen<br />

work as part of the $8 million<br />

Riccarton Rd upgrade.<br />

City council transport planning<br />

and delivery manager<br />

Lynette Ellis said Downer had<br />

“completed the contracted works<br />

as agreed,” but unexpected additional<br />

work was required.<br />

“Due to a significant change in<br />

scope the council is discussing<br />

construction delivery methodologies<br />

with the wider contracting<br />

market.”<br />

It was not known how much<br />

extra the work would cost or<br />

timelines for it.<br />

Residents, businesses and<br />

commuters are fed up with the<br />

works, which started in September<br />

2016 and were meant to be<br />

finished in September.<br />

<strong>The</strong> work was halted as a relief<br />

for businesses over summer.<br />

Ms Ellis said the next stage<br />

included a small section of<br />

underground pipe works around<br />

Harakeke St and pavement<br />

resurfacing from Darvel to<br />

Harakeke Sts.<br />

In Brief<br />

DERELICT PROPERTIES<br />

Richmond residents say landlords<br />

who live out of the city are not<br />

maintaining their properties. A<br />

meeting was organised between<br />

community members and business<br />

owners recently to discuss issues<br />

including overgrown gardens,<br />

property maintenance, litter and<br />

the general upkeep of the suburb.<br />

Richmond resident and business<br />

owner Hayley Guglietta is planning<br />

a wide-scale clean-up of the<br />

area and is hoping local businesses<br />

will help.<br />

WHEN CALEB Stewart’s<br />

mother suffered a horrific stroke<br />

“out of the blue”, he wanted to<br />

put his aspiration of becoming<br />

a top-level softballer on hold so<br />

he could take care of her and the<br />

family.<br />

But his mother would not let<br />

his dream die.<br />

Now Caleb, 16, has been<br />

named in the Emerging Sox, the<br />

under-17 national squad.<br />

Two years ago he almost gave<br />

the sport up to help his mother,<br />

Catherine Ackerley, 42, who<br />

was unable to talk, walk, drive<br />

or take care of herself after the<br />

stroke.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re was a moment where<br />

I thought I might quit (softball<br />

and school), get a job to help the<br />

family, but mum told me not to.<br />

She said it is your dream and you<br />

have to keep chasing it,” he said.<br />

In December 2016, Ms Ackerley<br />

was at home at about 10pm<br />

– three days before her 41st<br />

birthday – when something “just<br />

didn’t feel right.”<br />

“I managed to get up and have<br />

a look in the mirror and noticed<br />

my lip was slightly drooping, my<br />

speech was a little slurred and I<br />

was having trouble walking,” she<br />

said.<br />

“From there, things get really<br />

hazy.”<br />

She woke up in hospital a few<br />

days later unable to move or talk.<br />

She had suffered what doctors<br />

described as a rare stroke caused<br />

by a cavernoma, a cluster of abnormal<br />

cells usually found in the<br />

brain or spinal cord which can<br />

burst in someone aged 20-40.<br />

Ackerley who suffered a serious stroke and almost died in<br />

2016. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

“That is the simple version of<br />

what happened. It is inoperable,”<br />

she said.<br />

In the first few days, doctors<br />

wondered if she would wake up<br />

at all and, if she did, there was<br />

a good chance of brain damage,<br />

she said.<br />

Not willing to quit, Ms Ackerley<br />

woke up, started to speak,<br />

and found she had retained quite<br />

a bit of memory from before the<br />

stroke, surprising the doctors,<br />

she said.<br />

She spent about a year on<br />

rehabilitation, learning the basics<br />

again, and her progress meant<br />

she was able to head back to<br />

work, if only for six hours a week<br />

as an information technology<br />

technician in health care.<br />

his siblings – Amy Stewart, 13,<br />

and six-year-old Connor – she<br />

sick, he didn’t know what was<br />

going on.<br />

have to work that much harder.”<br />

ambition – his uncle, Paul Ackerley,<br />

Council buys<br />

flood-prone<br />

properties<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

THE OWNERS of two properties<br />

near the Heathcote River at risk of<br />

frequent flooding have agreed to<br />

sell to the city council.<br />

Twelve purchase offers were<br />

made and two were accepted, city<br />

council land drainage manager<br />

Keith Davison said. None had settled<br />

yet, he said.<br />

In November, city councillors<br />

voted to buy up to 35 of the most<br />

impacted properties, which was<br />

expected to cost $16.5 million.<br />

It was part of the $72 million<br />

flood mitigation scheme to help<br />

reduce the risk for more than 200<br />

homes. It included building four<br />

stormwater basins, dredging and<br />

stabilising river banks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has already<br />

spent $2.1 million buying six<br />

properties in Flockton Basin. <strong>The</strong><br />

properties could not be protected<br />

from flooding, even once the $51<br />

million Dudley Creek Flood Remediation<br />

scheme was completed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> properties, on various<br />

streets near Dudley Creek and<br />

in the basin, were vulnerable to<br />

frequent above-floor flooding.<br />

Once the homes have been<br />

demolished, the city council will<br />

sell the empty land.<br />

Speed cameras get Xmas break<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

NO ONE was caught speeding<br />

by Canterbury traffic cameras<br />

on Christmas Day – a significant<br />

drop from the previous year.<br />

Data released to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

under the Official Information<br />

Act shows on December 25, the<br />

speed cameras<br />

deployed did<br />

not catch any<br />

vehicles breaking<br />

the limit.<br />

On the same<br />

day in 2016, 50<br />

speeding tickets<br />

were issued<br />

Al Stewart<br />

after drivers<br />

were caught by<br />

cameras.<br />

Forty-two of those were caught<br />

speeding on Somerfield St,<br />

Somerfield, with eight caught on<br />

State Highway 1 at Leithfield.<br />

<strong>The</strong> data does not include<br />

speeding tickets issued by police<br />

officers on specific roads because<br />

the location detail of those tickets<br />

varied too much.<br />

However, on Boxing Day, 56<br />

vehicles were caught speeding by<br />

traffic cameras. Fifty-one were<br />

on State Highway 73 near Darfield,<br />

while five were on the same<br />

highway at Sheffield.<br />

On Boxing Day 2016, traffic<br />

cameras caught 13 vehicles<br />

speeding, all of which were on<br />

State Highway 7 – six near Hanmer<br />

Springs and seven at Glynn<br />

Wye.<br />

Canterbury Road Policing<br />

manager Inspector Al Stewart<br />

said speed was an “aggravating<br />

factor” in any crash, along with<br />

people not wearing seat belts.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re were two speed cameras<br />

deployed in Canterbury on<br />

Christmas day 2017, so for them<br />

not to detect any offences is<br />

fantastic.”<br />

In terms of the Boxing Day<br />

statistics, Inspector Stewart said<br />

police looked at the risks and<br />

tasked staff to those areas.<br />

“It may well be the deployment<br />

of speed camera staff into areas<br />

that were identified the year<br />

before and, as such, led to a<br />

higher detection rate.”<br />

New Year’s Day saw 369<br />

vehicles caught speeding. A<br />

majority were on Northcote Rd<br />

with 239.<br />

Fifty-nine were caught on<br />

Papanui’s Main North Rd, 35<br />

on State Highway 80 at Pukaki,<br />

and 21 on State Highway 7 at<br />

Waipara.<br />

Eight were caught on State<br />

Highway 7 at Waikari, and five<br />

on State Highway 1 at Saltwater<br />

HIDDEN:<br />

No one was<br />

caught by<br />

a speed<br />

camera in<br />

Canterbury<br />

on Christmas<br />

Day, but 56<br />

were caught<br />

on Boxing<br />

Day.<br />

Creek. On New Year’s Day, 2017,<br />

no vehicles were caught speeding<br />

by cameras. However, 4513<br />

vehicles were caught by cameras<br />

throughout January that year,<br />

with 758 on Harewood Rd alone.<br />

Inspector Stewart said on<br />

Christmas, Boxing and New<br />

Year’s days there were lower<br />

volumes of traffic as families<br />

went on holiday.<br />

He said speed cameras moved<br />

about every two hours based on<br />

risk.<br />

“It’s not rocket science – the<br />

faster you go, the bigger the mess<br />

when you make a mistake and<br />

crash.”<br />

Pensioner tricked; house burgled<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

AN ELDERLY woman was<br />

tricked into handing over<br />

keys to a campervan, which<br />

was then used in a burglary to<br />

“completely clear out” a North<br />

New Brighton home.<br />

Ina Livingston, 89, felt something<br />

was not right when she<br />

was persuaded to give the keys<br />

to her daughter and son-in-law’s<br />

campervan.<br />

Mrs Livingston was told<br />

by the man in his 20s, who<br />

knocked on her door, that Peter,<br />

Mrs Livingston’s son-in-law, said<br />

he could borrow the van.<br />

He persisted, coming back a<br />

second time to say he’d just been<br />

on the phone with Peter, who<br />

said he could take the van.<br />

Mrs Livingston and her<br />

daughter Leslie are unsure how<br />

the man knew Peter’s name.<br />

Within two hours of the van<br />

being stolen, it was used in a<br />

burglary of a house in Royalist<br />

Ave, North New Brighton.<br />

<strong>The</strong> burglars were there for<br />

40min.<br />

Homeowner Shane Aitcheson<br />

said everything that could be<br />

taken, was taken.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> whole place was a rubbish<br />

tip, they had not left one<br />

thing unturned or looked at.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y had gone through the<br />

fridge, freezer, the pantry; they<br />

had taken the dirty washing.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y took everything.”<br />

He believes belongings to the<br />

value of $20,000 were taken,<br />

including snowboard, surfing<br />

equipment, power tools and all<br />

of their clothing.<br />

“Imagine you don’t have<br />

any more clothes,” said Mr<br />

Aitcheson, who had to buy<br />

new clothes for work on Monday.<br />

A neighbour witnessed the<br />

campervan entering the property<br />

and another neighbour<br />

caught CCTV footage of the van<br />

on the street.<br />

To make matters worse, a<br />

dispute with their insurance<br />

company means Mr Aitcheson<br />

and his partner are not likely<br />

to receive contents insurance,<br />

STOLEN: Leslie and her<br />

husband Peter with their van<br />

Lucy which was stolen after<br />

Leslie’s elderly mother was<br />

tricked into handing over<br />

the keys. It was caught on<br />

CCTV in Royalist Ave prior to<br />

a burglary.<br />

when they were told they were<br />

covered.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are now seeking legal<br />

advice.<br />

Police have taken fingerprints<br />

and said there are no confirmed<br />

sightings of the van yet.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no connection between<br />

the two parties.<br />

Leslie said the van, named<br />

Lucy, was “like a moving bach”<br />

to her and her husband.<br />

“We’re really attached to it<br />

. . . we go away in it all the time,<br />

it was stocked with food, dishes,<br />

bedding, our tramping boots,<br />

books.”<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Casino plans<br />

to transform an empty central city<br />

site into a temporary <strong>15</strong>7-space<br />

car park to service its patrons and<br />

nearby businesses.<br />

It has applied to the city council<br />

for resource consent to landscape<br />

and operate the car park at 56-72<br />

Salisbury St, next to the temporary<br />

one at 373 Durham St North.<br />

It will back onto the casino’s current<br />

car park on Peterborough St.<br />

<strong>The</strong> casino bought the vacant<br />

land in September from the Martin<br />

Coffey Estate for $3.7 million.<br />

It is seeking consent to operate<br />

the car park for five years until<br />

a future use for the site is determined.<br />

In its resource consent application,<br />

the casino said the temporary<br />

car park would cater for its customers,<br />

and spaces would be leased<br />

to nearby businesses.<br />

Some spaces would be available<br />

for public use.<br />

It has also lodged resource<br />

consent with the city council to<br />

develop a 200-room hotel, with a<br />

car park, eateries, conference space<br />

​Fighting for people<br />

stuck in EQC limbo<br />

AS WE COME up on the<br />

seventh anniversary of the<br />

earthquake, one of my biggest<br />

priorities as a new Minister<br />

is to finally see resolution for<br />

people still stuck in EQC and<br />

insurance limbo.<br />

THis is personal for me – as an<br />

electorate MP I’ve spent years<br />

fighting to get help for many of<br />

my constituents who are stuck<br />

in this situation. I know every<br />

electorate MP in Canterbury<br />

has had the same.<br />

I’m so aware that this mess is<br />

putting people through absolute<br />

misery – they’re trapped, unable<br />

to get on with their lives. I’m<br />

determined that we sort this out.<br />

It’s also important that we<br />

prepare for the future as well<br />

– we need to acknowledge that<br />

we live in a geologically active<br />

region of the world and that<br />

as much as we might wish it,<br />

we haven’t seen the last major<br />

earthquake to strike New<br />

Zealand.<br />

So as well as sorting things<br />

out for the people still stuck in<br />

limbo, we need to make sure<br />

our system is prepared for the<br />

future so that in the event of<br />

future disasters people get their<br />

claims sorted as quickly and<br />

fairly as possible. That’s why<br />

we are having an independent<br />

inquiry into EQC, the terms of<br />

reference we are consulting with<br />

the public on now.<br />

For those still in limbo<br />

however, officials are working<br />

now on a range of ways to speed<br />

up the work of getting people’s<br />

claims sorted, to be considered<br />

as part of the Government’s<br />

budget process.<br />

What we promised before<br />

the election was a range of<br />

measures. Firstly, we promised<br />

to save the Residential Advisory<br />

Service who are now providing<br />

case management which has<br />

helped thousands of people<br />

resolve their claims. That’s been<br />

done.<br />

Next, we promised an<br />

arbitration service to speed up<br />

the resolution of claims and to<br />

act as an alternative pathway for<br />

claimants.<br />

THis would work on a fast<br />

track basis, and be able to award<br />

compensation for distress<br />

caused by undue delays.<br />

Secondly, we promised to<br />

establish a fund for test cases<br />

and declaratory judgements<br />

to resolve unsettled issues of<br />

legal dispute – such as issues<br />

around the limitations act and<br />

the difficult problem of on-sold<br />

claims.<br />

We are also working with<br />

EQC to implement proper case<br />

management approach, where<br />

people deal with one person<br />

whose job it is to sort their<br />

claim, instead of constantly<br />

bouncing back and forth<br />

between people.<br />

THese promises and other<br />

options are being considered<br />

now through the budget process<br />

and I’m looking forward to the<br />

Government being able to make<br />

real progress and help people<br />

get on with their lives.<br />

I’m very clear that people<br />

have waited for too long and<br />

we are determined to fix this<br />

mess.<br />

•Megan Woods is the<br />

Minister of Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />

NEW ZEALAND is a<br />

country of small and medium<br />

sized businesses, and that’s<br />

particularly true here in<br />

Christchurch where 97 per cent<br />

of our businesses have less than<br />

20 employees.<br />

THese businesses drive our<br />

economy, and provide most<br />

of the job opportunities and<br />

incomes for our families.<br />

Our region has been growing<br />

and performing well economically,<br />

so it’s important we don’t<br />

do anything that upsets the<br />

apple cart.<br />

But new Government has<br />

launched the first wave of their<br />

employment law reforms that<br />

could do just that. <strong>The</strong> reforms<br />

as proposed will increase risks<br />

and costs for small and mediumsized<br />

businesses and that can<br />

only hurt jobs and slow our city<br />

and region down.<br />

<strong>The</strong> changes proposed include<br />

the end of the starting out<br />

wage, the removal of 90-day<br />

trials for businesses with more<br />

than 20 staff (including casual<br />

and part-timers), big leaps in<br />

the minimum wage, reduced<br />

employment flexibility, and<br />

1970s-style standardised wage<br />

bargaining.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se changes taken together<br />

will mean fewer jobs for Kiwi<br />

workers, increases in the cost<br />

of living and fewer competitive<br />

businesses.<br />

You don’t improve things for<br />

New Zealand workers by increasing<br />

the cost of goods made<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

Already we are seeing businesses<br />

across the country lose<br />

confidence as a result of the<br />

policies of this new Government.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se reforms are one of the big<br />

Nicky Wagner<br />

Employment law<br />

changes will cost jobs<br />

reasons for that decline.<br />

New Zealand has an enviable<br />

track record over the last few<br />

years for lifting employment and<br />

growing wages.<br />

For the last two years an<br />

average of over 10,000 jobs have<br />

been created every month. <strong>The</strong><br />

unemployment rate is at its lowest<br />

level since the GFC in 2008,<br />

and the proportion of people in<br />

work is the third highest in the<br />

developed world.<br />

Given that track record the<br />

Government needs to explain<br />

the reasons behind these<br />

reforms. Or is it just a pay-off<br />

for their union backers at the<br />

expense of our economy?<br />

Right now Christchurch and<br />

Canterbury is in good economic<br />

shape, and has a strong future<br />

for our families and our young<br />

people. Let’s not do anything to<br />

upset that.<br />

A Christchurch ‘sparkie’<br />

who won $20.2 million in<br />

Lotto’s Powerball has<br />

announced he is splitting<br />

his winnings with family<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

Hamish Middleton –<br />

Good on you. I bought my<br />

ticket at Hornby mall as well<br />

and held off checking for a<br />

couple days in hope of being<br />

the division one winner. Took<br />

it to the Lotto operator, got the<br />

win music, got a bit excited<br />

. . . and received a bonus ticket.<br />

Perhaps another time.<br />

Raymond Low – Rethink<br />

the gifting part mate . . . as<br />

they say, it’s tax-free until it<br />

hits your bank account. Gifting<br />

money to people attracts a tax<br />

of it’s own that the gifter must<br />

pay . . . go see a lawyer and set<br />

up a family trust, this way you<br />

can give the money without<br />

the hefty tax penalties.<br />

Susan Lightbown – I’m<br />

pleased it’s gone to someone<br />

who will get pleasure from<br />

sharing. Good for them.<br />

Sue Silk – Happy for this<br />

man and his family.<br />

Melissa Blair Herrick –<br />

Omg, how exciting. I wouldn’t<br />

be able to sleep.<br />

Amanda White – Good<br />

on you. I’d do exactly the same<br />

if I won.<br />

Lisa Houghton – Adopt<br />

me, ha ha. Great stuff good on<br />

them all.<br />

Maree C Brogan –<br />

Sounds wonderful to me and<br />

what I would do too. Good on<br />

them hope they enjoy it.<br />

Paulette Stickley – Early<br />

retirement, good on you, and<br />

sharing it, sounds like a welldeserved<br />

win and a top notch<br />

bloke.<br />

Kim Scott – Fantastic. Enjoy<br />

your retirement and family<br />

time.<br />

Sarah O’Brien – Glad it<br />

Finding the right balance<br />

between heritage and future<br />

I RECEIVED a number of very<br />

positive comments about the<br />

reopening of the Old Stone House<br />

last week, especially the history of<br />

community involvement that saved<br />

it many years ago after a fire.<br />

I also had the privilege of having<br />

a sneak preview of the restored<br />

Midland Building that originally<br />

housed the Midland Club and<br />

which was, before the earthquakes,<br />

the home to Caffe Roma.<br />

It has been lovingly restored and<br />

will soon be open again – this time<br />

with new tenants, including a tapas<br />

restaurant.<br />

THe Landmark Heritage Grant<br />

we made ensured the building<br />

wasn’t knocked down and<br />

means we all have a stake in this<br />

wonderful piece of our city’s<br />

history.<br />

At the same time as we are<br />

looking after our history, we<br />

are also focused on the future,<br />

and investing in initiatives that<br />

together will make our city more<br />

sustainable, reduce emissions and<br />

save money as well.<br />

Last year we decided to speed<br />

up the replacement of our street<br />

lights with LED lighting. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

is an upfront cost to this but the<br />

NZTA subsidy reduces the cost<br />

significantly and the balance is<br />

more than paid back through<br />

significantly reduced maintenance<br />

requirements and electricity bills<br />

over time. For example, street<br />

lights require replacement every<br />

three to four years, whereas LEDs<br />

last for 20 years. That’s a win-win.<br />

THis year Christchurch has<br />

introduced New Zealand’s first<br />

electric car sharing scheme, which<br />

has just been launched by Prime<br />

Minister Jacinda Adern.<br />

THis scheme may not have been<br />

in the blueprint, but it is as much a<br />

part of our city’s regeneration as is<br />

any project that it envisaged. It is<br />

the way of the future.<br />

THe wonderful thing about<br />

the scheme is that it’s not just<br />

for council vehicles, it’s also for<br />

government departments, private<br />

sector businesses and eventually<br />

for residents too. Anyone can sign<br />

up with Yoogo.<br />

Waste Management is also<br />

getting in on the act with its first<br />

electric rubbish truck launched<br />

this week and soon Red Bus will<br />

be making the high profile airportcity<br />

bus route electric as well.<br />

THese are small steps as we move<br />

away from our dependence on<br />

fossil fuels.<br />

I often hear from residents that<br />

you want the council focusing on<br />

the basics. Get the roads repaired<br />

before you worry about heritage or<br />

reducing emissions. I totally agree<br />

that we need to focus on the basics<br />

and that roads are an obviously<br />

measure of the state of the city’s<br />

repair. I guess my message is that<br />

it’s not an ‘either/or’; it’s an ‘and’.<br />

Our heritage is very much about<br />

who we are as a city and we should<br />

preserve what we can of what<br />

remains. And new technologies are<br />

the way of the future and will save<br />

money in the end. If we can make<br />

these available to residents with no<br />

additional rates impact then that is<br />

a good thing. It’s a matter of setting<br />

priorities and getting the balance<br />

right.<br />

And these are precisely the<br />

sorts of issues that we will be<br />

seeking your views on when our<br />

draft Long Term Plan goes out for<br />

consultation in early March.<br />

GARDENING<br />

ADVICE with<br />

Regular watering and garden management is critical for plant health<br />

during the hot summer months. Adding a thick layer of mulch around<br />

plants will help prevent soil moisture evaporating. Avoid watering<br />

during the hottest part of the day when plants are heat stressed;<br />

instead water in the early morning or evening.<br />

z<br />

QUESTION<br />

My tomato plants were looking very healthy until the four days of rain we had in January.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n they started wilting and have not improved. I had six Early Girl, one San Marzano<br />

and one cocktail type. <strong>The</strong> only one that is still healthy is the cocktail. Just before the<br />

rain, I had given them a dressing of Daltons Tomato Fertiliser and they had a large amount of tomatoes set on<br />

them. Can you tell me what went wrong and if I can correct it in the future?<br />

Today’s winning question came from Elaine Wilson. Congratulations!<br />

From your description, it would<br />

ANSWER appear that your tomato plants<br />

have unfortunately developed<br />

blight which can strike very quickly, particularly in moist<br />

conditions. For some reason, cocktail and Sweet 100<br />

tomatoes appear immune to blight and continue to grow<br />

and crop vigorously even when surrounded with dead<br />

and dying tomato plants.<br />

Next season, try growing only smaller tomatoes in this<br />

part of your vegetable garden, and plant the other larger<br />

fruiting varieties in a different section. Also, apply<br />

Daltons Organic Bio-Fungicide Granules and mix with<br />

soil in the root zone at time of planting. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

designed to interact with a plant’s growing roots to<br />

provide a living barrier that protects against plant<br />

pathogens and boosts the plant’s own immune system.<br />

Remember to remove laterals on your growing plants and<br />

cut off lower or surplus leaves as required. This allows for<br />

better air circulation through your tomato plants and<br />

lessens the chances of blight developing.<br />

Mulch is the new compost – but don’t use too much<br />

MULCH, IT seems, is the new<br />

compost.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing wrong<br />

with mulch when it’s used<br />

judiciously, but creating<br />

‘‘mulch volcanoes’’ around<br />

your trees is a very bad idea,<br />

especially when it’s done<br />

mainly for aesthetics.<br />

<strong>The</strong> root zone of an<br />

established tree extends beyond<br />

its drip line, so mounding the<br />

mulch against the trunk does<br />

little for the roots, except cause<br />

roots near the trunk to grow<br />

into the mulch volcano.<br />

<strong>The</strong> piled-up mulch can<br />

soften the bark of some young<br />

trees and invites insects and<br />

diseases.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lower trunk, unlike the<br />

roots, cannot easily survive<br />

long-term with the constant<br />

moisture the volcano traps —<br />

it’s the equivalent of planting a<br />

tree too deeply.<br />

Bear in mind that the main<br />

reasons for mulching are to<br />

retain soil moisture, suppress<br />

weeds and moderate soil<br />

temperatures — not to cover<br />

the garden so it looks tidier.<br />

RETAIN<br />

MOISTURE:<br />

Avoid making<br />

mounds of<br />

mulch, use<br />

judiciously<br />

around plants.<br />

2 cloves garlic<br />

2 Tbsp olive oil<br />

1 lemon<br />

0.01 to taste salt and freshly<br />

ground pepper<br />

⅓ cup almond flakes<br />

Directions<br />

Heat oven to 210 deg C. Lay<br />

chicken breasts on a board.<br />

Cut a deep slit in one side of<br />

each chicken breast to create a<br />

good-sized pocket.<br />

Insert two or three apricot<br />

halves into each slit.<br />

Transfer chicken to a low-sided<br />

oven pan.<br />

Combine crushed garlic, olive<br />

oil, and juice of one lemon in a<br />

bowl, then drizzle lightly all over<br />

chicken and season with salt and<br />

pepper.<br />

Roast for <strong>15</strong>min. Remove<br />

from oven, scatter chicken with<br />

almonds, then return to the oven<br />

to roast for a further 5min. Serve<br />

immediately.<br />

Place the orange – with skin<br />

on – in a deep saucepan and<br />

cover with cold water. Stir in the<br />

caster sugar. Slowly bring to a<br />

simmer.<br />

Cover and cook for 1½ hours,<br />

turning occasionally. Remove<br />

from the syrup and cool until<br />

able to handle.<br />

Cut into quarters and discard<br />

any pips.<br />

Meanwhile, bring a large<br />

frying pan of water to a simmer.<br />

Add the vinegar. Carefully<br />

break in 3 eggs. Poach until just<br />

cooked. Cool a little.<br />

Preheat the oven to 160 deg<br />

C. Lightly butter a 12-hole<br />

muffin pan, preferably one with<br />

straight sides.<br />

Place the ground almonds,<br />

sugar and baking powder into a<br />

food processor. Add the orange<br />

quarters, the five whole eggs<br />

and the three poached eggs.<br />

Blend, until smooth.<br />

Pour the mixture into the<br />

prepared muffin holes almost to<br />

the top.<br />

Bake for 40min, until a<br />

skewer inserted in the centre<br />

comes out clean.<br />

Turn out onto a wire rack to<br />

cool.<br />

Great served topped with a<br />

cream and sprinkled with finely<br />

grated orange rind.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest range of vehicles in one location<br />

Take your camera to photogenic Zurich<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

AS TWILIGHT took hold in<br />

Zurich, I was goggling at the<br />

largest clock face in Europe, on<br />

the edge of the Limmat River.<br />

Dominating the skyline, the<br />

historic tower of St Peter Church<br />

is imbued with a trusty timepiece,<br />

as are the atmospheric church<br />

bells that reverberate across the<br />

Old Town from the four historic<br />

churches, including mighty<br />

Grossmunster Cathedral. Zurich<br />

has certainly emerged as a tale of<br />

two cities. Creating quite a buzz,<br />

Zurich-West, which has spectacularly<br />

transformed.<br />

This once scruffy industrial<br />

district has emerged as a vibrant<br />

cultural quarter of trendy eateries<br />

and edgy art, where factories<br />

have been repurposed as theatres<br />

and shipyards reimagined as art<br />

galleries. Viadukt is an exemplary<br />

example of the makeover, with<br />

a host of eateries, pop-up shops<br />

and art spaces housed inside<br />

the arches of the disused, 167m<br />

railway viaduct.<br />

You’ll also find Prime Tower<br />

here, a 35-storey skyscraper<br />

(Switzerland’s tallest), serving up<br />

a panoramic treat across Zurich’s<br />

rooftops, gleaming lake and<br />

snow-coated peaks beyond. Take<br />

in the sweeping scenery over a<br />

drink or two at Clouds Bar.<br />

Culture is writ large in Zurich<br />

and back in the Old Town, the<br />

narrow-cobbled streets gave rise<br />

to the Dada art movement just<br />

over a century ago. I popped into<br />

Cabaret Voltaire, at Spiegelgasse<br />

1, which was the birthplace of<br />

Dada and the avant-garde artistic<br />

movement, in 1916.<br />

Absinthe is the drink of choice<br />

here, among Dada’s ghosts. <strong>The</strong><br />

venue also has a shop selling souvenirs<br />

and art-themed gifts.<br />

Strolling along Bahnhofstrasse,<br />

flanked by chic designer boutiques,<br />

Café Sprungli deserves<br />

a pit-stop. This prized Zurich<br />

institution is rightly lauded for its<br />

heavenly macaroons.<br />

Further down the street, if<br />

feeling a little decadent, make a<br />

date with Teuscher for its famed<br />

champagne truffles.<br />

In a city of water and bridges,<br />

another top vantage point, above<br />

the twisting lanes of the Old Town<br />

is the Lindenhof. This was the<br />

site of a former Roman customs<br />

house, perched above the water.<br />

<strong>The</strong> vast assortment of guildhalls<br />

are central to Zurich’s backstory,<br />

and they’re great fun to explore.<br />

Could there be a finer roost<br />

than Hotel Storchen? For over<br />

650 years, the Storchen’s classic<br />

hospitality has been widelyacclaimed,<br />

situated in Zurich’s<br />

romantic heart, on the river’s<br />

edge, in Weinplatz. A witness to<br />

history, its name derives from the<br />

MIGHTY: <strong>The</strong> Grossmunster<br />

Cathedral is a focal point on<br />

the Limmat River.<br />

pair of black storks who used to<br />

nest here.<br />

You’ll want to make your bed<br />

here too. A beautiful inlaid artwork<br />

of stork eggs on the<br />

floor of the main bar, speaks to<br />

its past – and it’s still a widelypractised<br />

tradition that rubbing<br />

your heel on the artwork delivers<br />

good luck.<br />

My perfectly formed guestroom<br />

afforded a dreamy view over the<br />

River Limmat, backed by many<br />

old town landmarks, spectacularly<br />

illuminated at night.<br />

CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR<br />

Lunar New Year <strong>2018</strong>,<br />

Year of the dog<br />

On <strong>February</strong> 16, Chinese people here and<br />

around the world will celebrate the start of<br />

Chinese New Year, or as it is also known,<br />

the Lunar New Year, a significant event in<br />

their lives. Different from the calendar year,<br />

which runs from January 1 to December<br />

31, the Chinese New Year is based on the<br />

lunar calendar, so falls on a different day<br />

each year.<br />

Also, while the calendar year is divided<br />

into 12 months, the Chinese Lunar<br />

Calendar has 12 lunar years, with each<br />

one named for a designated animal – the<br />

12 animals are snake, horse, goat, monkey,<br />

rooster, dog, pig, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit and<br />

dragon.<br />

<strong>2018</strong> is the Year of the Dog, and more<br />

specifically the Earth Dog, for its elemental<br />

sign. <strong>The</strong> last Earth Dog year was 1958.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dog is regarded as an auspicious<br />

animal by the Chinese, and if one comes<br />

into a house, it symbolises that good<br />

fortune is on the way.<br />

Chinese people right across Asia and in<br />

countries around the world take part in<br />

the Lunar New Year celebrations, which<br />

traditionally run from the eve of the New<br />

Year through to the Lantern Festival on<br />

the <strong>15</strong>th day. Families gather together for<br />

a Reunion Dinner on New Year’s Eve, and<br />

on New Year’s Day they clean their houses<br />

to get rid of bad fortune and make way<br />

for good fortune. Another tradition is the<br />

exchange of red packets containing money.<br />

Christchurch is also joining in celebrating<br />

the Year of the Dog with a parade on<br />

Sunday, <strong>February</strong> 25. <strong>Star</strong>ting at 3pm from<br />

the Bridge of Remembrance, it will proceed<br />

along Cashel Street and Victoria St before<br />

ending at Cathedral Square.<br />

Colourful and exciting, the parade<br />

will feature pandas, dragons, lions and<br />

traditional Chinese dancers, with more<br />

performances in <strong>The</strong> Square when it<br />

finishes.<br />

Added joy for New<br />

Year celebrating<br />

At Joyful Restaurant in Riccarton Road,<br />

the focus is on creating an atmosphere of<br />

enjoyment and providing joyfully delicious<br />

food.<br />

Bright and spacious, it is the ideal place<br />

for family celebrations, as well as functions<br />

for up to <strong>15</strong>0 people, with the range of<br />

expertly prepared Chinese dishes sure to<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

please all palates. Quick, friendly service<br />

adds to the experience.<br />

dumplings, are regarded as among the best<br />

in town.<br />

CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR<br />

Strengthening economic ties<br />

between China and New Zealand<br />

Christchurch-based NZCEI (New<br />

Zealand China Exchange Incorporated)<br />

offers best wishes to all Kiwis and Chinese<br />

for a Happy Lunar Year and a prosperous<br />

future.<br />

A non-profit organisation, NZCEI was<br />

registered in New Zealand on December 12,<br />

2016. It provides a platform for exchange and<br />

co-operation between the two countries in<br />

multiple fields including trade, investment,<br />

culture and art, education, sport, tourism,<br />

science and technology with the aim of<br />

enhancing the connections between China<br />

and New Zealand by bringing groups of<br />

people together, an initiative that had the<br />

support of the New Zealand department of<br />

Internal Affairs.<br />

“Our responsibility and objective is the<br />

promotion of economic ties in all these<br />

areas between China and New Zealand,”<br />

chairman of NZCEI, Mr Steven Ma says.<br />

On December 6, 2017 NZCEI hosted a<br />

Canton Fair Promotion reception in the<br />

city, the first promotion of the fair in New<br />

Zealand. Canton Fair, which is a hyperactive<br />

business exhibition, has been held in China<br />

since 1957. It is widely known globally, and<br />

is similar to the Hanover Trade Fair and the<br />

Frankfurt Fair.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canton Fair promotion reception<br />

in Christchurch was an example of how<br />

world trading events can be brought to the<br />

attention of New Zealand, Mr Ma says.<br />

“Through NZCEI, we can help get New<br />

Zealand products into China and other<br />

countries. It is a unique way of helping<br />

companies to make contact beyond<br />

their borders and obtain orders from<br />

international customers.<br />

“We are very proud to organise<br />

promotional activities like this to assist<br />

New Zealand and the local people, and we<br />

look forward to having more international<br />

events to enhance economic activity and<br />

create greater prosperity.”<br />

Following the event, NZCEI received<br />

a great deal of<br />

positive response<br />

and feedback from<br />

people wanting<br />

to be part of the<br />

next one, and it’s<br />

an opportunity for<br />

getting new leads<br />

and to promote<br />

New Zealand<br />

products to China<br />

and the rest of the<br />

world, Mr Ma says.<br />

NZCEI is<br />

currently helping<br />

Guang Zhou,<br />

a capital city<br />

of Guangdong<br />

Province, to launch a travel industry<br />

exhibition to promote New Zealand as<br />

a tourist destination for travellers from<br />

China and other countries.<br />

Mr Ma was also appointed as the special<br />

representative by Hui Zhou municipality<br />

to assist in setting up a liaison office in<br />

Christchurch for making connections<br />

and establishing economic ties in the<br />

technology, education and business sectors<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

One of the most developed cities in<br />

Guangdong Province, with a population<br />

of 4.6 million, Hui Zhou specialises in<br />

electronic and cell phone components and<br />

80 per cent of the world’s mobile phone<br />

optical lenses are produced there.<br />

NZCEI in Christchurch will continue<br />

to create more exciting opportunities<br />

for international business links and<br />

co-operation between China and New<br />

Zealand, Mr Ma says.<br />

two weekends only!<br />

Arteon – Volkwagen’s<br />

flagship car for NZ<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

VOLKSWAGEN has<br />

launched a new flagship<br />

model in New Zealand.<br />

Well, the new Arteon,<br />

isn’t the most expensive car<br />

in the Volkswagen range,<br />

that belongs to Amarok and<br />

other light commercials if<br />

you load in the extra kit, but<br />

in the car range the $74,990<br />

Arteon is the price leader.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Arteon is described<br />

by Volkswagen as a fastback<br />

grand tourer, which<br />

to me could be simply<br />

described as a four-door<br />

coupe. It lands in New<br />

Zealand in one model only<br />

and doesn’t carry a daunting<br />

option list; essentially,<br />

what you pay up front is for<br />

a high-specification vehicle<br />

in the first instance. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are wheel, paint and audio<br />

upgrades available as well<br />

as the option of an electric<br />

sunroof, but that is it.<br />

As you would expect<br />

from a model which sits<br />

squarely in the luxury car<br />

class, the Arteon is chock<br />

full of goodies, specification<br />

way too numerous<br />

to mention in detail, but<br />

I can report that with its<br />

clever control network and<br />

driver assistance systems,<br />

the Arteon will quickly win<br />

over potential buyers.<br />

At almost 4.9m, the<br />

Arteon is a big car and one<br />

which cocoons its occupants<br />

with a high degree<br />

of comfort. <strong>The</strong> seats are<br />

superb and there is a large<br />

amount of interior space,<br />

especially in the rear where<br />

three broad-shouldered<br />

adults can be seated without<br />

squeeze. That area isn’t<br />

compromised by a large<br />

load space (563-litre) under<br />

an electric tailgate.<br />

At the other end sits<br />

a four-cylinder, turbocharged<br />

engine of 1984cc.<br />

Volkswagen rate it at<br />

206kW with 350Nm of<br />

torque. If these figures seem<br />

familiar, that’s because it<br />

is much the same engine<br />

which powers other vehicles<br />

throughout the Volkswagen<br />

conglomerate, notably in<br />

New Zealand with Passat<br />

and Skoda’s Superb.<br />

That aside, it is a sweet<br />

engine and one which fits<br />

well the concept of Arteon,<br />

it is strong and quiet, and<br />

coupled to a seven-speed<br />

direct shift gearbox it<br />

works freely through the<br />

transmission.<br />

<strong>The</strong> power outputs are<br />

registered low in the rev<br />

band – maximum torque<br />

arrives at just 1700rpm<br />

while peak power is delivered<br />

at 5600rpm. Because<br />

these figures arrive early<br />

VW ARTEON: One model only for New Zealand.<br />

there is substantial strength<br />

from early acceleration,<br />

and that is reflected in a<br />

quick standstill to 100km/h<br />

time of 5.6sec. Volkswagen<br />

also claim a 250km/h top<br />

speed. While the latter<br />

figure is a little unrealistic<br />

in New Zealand, on the<br />

European highways the<br />

Arteon would be well capable<br />

of living up to its GT<br />

classification.<br />

• Price – VW Arteon,<br />

$74,990<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 4862mm;<br />

width, 1871mm;<br />

height, 1450mm<br />

• Configuration –<br />

Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,<br />

1984cc,<br />

206kW, 350Nm,<br />

seven-speed<br />

automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 5.6sec<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

7.3l/100km<br />

Indeed, it is a fabulous<br />

highway cruiser with<br />

whisper quiet sound and<br />

a chassis which will cater<br />

for all road surfaces. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are four drive modes available<br />

which can be selected<br />

depending on each journey.<br />

I far preferred the normal<br />

mode, which is a good balance<br />

between eco, comfort<br />

and sport, with each having<br />

their own individual<br />

strengths depending on<br />

how you wish to drive.<br />

I took the test car west<br />

to the Inland Scenic Route<br />

(SH72) which runs parallel<br />

to the Malvern Hills. I<br />

detoured to tackle the tight,<br />

challenging corners into the<br />

Waimakariri River gorge.<br />

Huge Pirelli PZero tyres<br />

(245/40 x 19in) provide<br />

immense grip and deliver<br />

positive feedback at the<br />

steering wheel. Turn-in is<br />

sharp and body balance<br />

is well controlled. That’s<br />

no surprise, the Arteon<br />

sits only 1450mm high,<br />

therefore there isn’t a lot of<br />

gravitational force working<br />

over the suspension, body<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

lean is minimal.<br />

Of course, the Arteon<br />

gets Volkswagen’s 4Motion<br />

for-wheel-drive system.<br />

That in itself helps supply<br />

grip along with other obvious<br />

benefits where slippery<br />

or unsealed road surfaces<br />

are presented.<br />

With the complex fully<br />

independent system and<br />

the freedom that allows<br />

at the rear, there are times<br />

when drive rearwards can<br />

be picked up by those onboard<br />

and that offers a<br />

secure feel throughout the<br />

entire vehicle.<br />

All this, along with<br />

spring and damper rates<br />

that don’t compromise<br />

comfort, even in the firmer<br />

sport mode setting, make<br />

the Arteon an enjoyable<br />

drive at all levels, even at<br />

city speed it does its best<br />

to entertain and relax the<br />

driver all at the same time.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Arteon is also a<br />

car which won’t tax our<br />

fossil fuel reserves. <strong>The</strong><br />

turbocharging system<br />

allows for spirited<br />

motoring in true GT<br />

fashion, but it is also<br />

structured so that fuel<br />

waste is minimised.<br />

Volkswagen claim a 7.3-<br />

litre per 100km (38mpg)<br />

combined cycle rating.<br />

<strong>The</strong> test car was a dealer<br />

demonstrator and it was<br />

in my care for only two<br />

days; that being the case,<br />

my average was based<br />

mostly on highway use<br />

and returned an 8l/100km<br />

(35mpg) which was quite<br />

spectacular, thanks to an<br />

instantaneous readout of<br />

6.2l/100km (46mpg) at<br />

100km/h (engine speed<br />

1900rpm).<br />

Even though I didn’t<br />

travel a huge distance in<br />

the car I can certainly see<br />

the Arteon’s appeal, and<br />

with the high quality build<br />

we have come to expect<br />

from Volkswagen, and all<br />

German car manufacturers,<br />

it is an eye-catching and<br />

desirable model which is<br />

just that little bit different<br />

to mainstream sedans and<br />

coupes.

CITY 2 SURF TRAINING PROGRAMME<br />

WEEK 6: Taking the next step up<br />

This week you are going to use the fitness<br />

you have built up in the last 5 weeks. You<br />

should now feel comfortable with the rhythm<br />

and technique of the jogging movement<br />

and you can maintain this for a longer<br />

period of time (this applies especially for<br />

the beginners group). For the intermediate<br />

group there is a bit of pace change at the<br />

Monday and Friday run. Remember the<br />

different training intensity zones?<br />

Zone 1, easy: this is a pace whereby you<br />

are not too puffed and the talk test is not<br />

even a test. At this stage this is the zone you<br />

spent most of your time in as it will give you<br />

some initial conditioning without the risk of<br />

soreness or muscle strain.<br />

Zone 2, steady: this is slightly faster than<br />

easy; it can also be called a “firm” pace. It<br />

takes a bit more effort to talk but you can<br />

still form sentences without having to take<br />

an extra breath.<br />

Zone 3, moderately hard: this is the pace<br />

where you need that extra breath to finish<br />

your sentence. You can still talk and jog at the<br />

same time but it becomes more laborious so<br />

Zone 4 and 5 are for the competitive<br />

athletes only and do not apply to the<br />

beginners or intermediate group. In these<br />

zones the oxygen supply does not keep up<br />

with the oxygen demand so you get really<br />

puffed to the extent that you cannot have<br />

a conversation. This pace interferes with the<br />

enjoyment of what you are doing and is not<br />

necessary if your main goal is to finish the<br />

event rather then competing.<br />

TIP OF THE WEEK<br />

Many of you will be stretching vigorously before and/<br />

or after your training session. You do this because<br />

others are doing it as well. <strong>The</strong>re is not much evidence<br />

that a conventional stretching routine prevents<br />

injury or keeps you flexible. <strong>The</strong>re is no real need for<br />

stretching unless you have a specific problem with<br />

particular muscle groups and you have been advised<br />

by a physiotherapist or doctor to stretch. <strong>The</strong> most<br />

effective form of stretching for flexibility is yoga,<br />

but you will have to do it on a daily basis and for a<br />

minimum of 20 minutes and for most of us it will not<br />

make us better runners.<br />

In Brief<br />

AWARD FOR VOLUNTEER<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hornby Panthers have been<br />

part of Jack Newson’s life for the<br />

past 66 years and on Saturday<br />

he was rewarded winning male<br />

volunteer of the year at the New<br />

Zealand Rugby League awards.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 76-year-old played his first<br />

game for<br />

the club as a<br />

10-year-old,<br />

he then went<br />

through<br />

the grades<br />

right up to<br />

premier level,<br />

mainly in<br />

the second row before moving<br />

to prop in his later years. He<br />

then started coaching junior<br />

teams taking a team from the<br />

14s up to the <strong>15</strong>s then to the 16s<br />

before repeating the process<br />

four or five times. At 59 he laced<br />

his boots back up and started<br />

playing in the master’s grade for<br />

Hornby, which he still does to<br />

this day. <strong>The</strong> award honours the<br />

commitment and dedication he<br />

has shown to the club for more<br />

than six decades. He travelled<br />

to the event with his wife Mary.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hornby stalwart has five<br />

children, one girl, four boys,<br />

who have all played for the club,<br />

including his daughter, Mataara<br />

Newson, who played in the<br />

Hornby women’s team. Two of<br />

his sons, John and Hemi both<br />

played for the junior kiwis.<br />

HANG GLIDING SUCCESS<br />

Christchurch’s Derek McKee<br />

won the annual Omarama crosscountry<br />

classic hang gliding<br />

competition above the McKenzie<br />

Basin last week. McKee finished<br />

ahead of fellow Christchurch<br />

competitor Bill Degen in the<br />

30-strong field. <strong>The</strong> winner<br />

was determined by the longest<br />

accumulated flight in kilometres<br />

flown over three flights during<br />

the competition. McKee’s three<br />

longest flights totalled 246km.<br />

Degen was second with 178km.<br />

John Smith, of Queenstown,<br />

clocked up 114.5km on a single<br />

flight, winning the award for<br />

the longest single flight of the<br />

competition.<br />

GOLF WIN FOR KOBORI<br />

Kazuma Kobori won the<br />

Southland men’s strokeplay<br />

championship on the Otatara<br />

course in Invercargill with a<br />

final round of 68 on Sunday. <strong>The</strong><br />

Rangiora club member finished<br />

six shots clear of Liam Balneaves<br />

(Greenacres). Ben Patston<br />

(Otago) was third. <strong>The</strong> women’s<br />

title was won by Christchurch’s<br />

Jeong Hyun Lee by a 12-shot<br />

margin from Invercargill’s top<br />

player, Robyn Pullar. Kobori<br />

won the $1250 voucher for the<br />

best male across the Canterbury,<br />

Otago and Southland stroke<br />

events. Hororata’s Dominic<br />

Brettkelly and Balneaves<br />

finished tied for second place.<br />

Pettigrew targets seniors title<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

A GOLFER best known for<br />

playing with Tiger Woods is the<br />

biggest local hope in the NZPGA<br />

Seniors Championship which<br />

starts on Sunday at Waimairi<br />

Beach and Waitikiri.<br />

Martin Pettigrew, 52, has<br />

had a bright start to life in the<br />

senior golfing ranks. In 2016,<br />

he won the first senior event he<br />

competed in – the Australia PGA<br />

Senior Championship. Earlier<br />

this month, he won the Victorian<br />

Senior Open. However, after a<br />

more than 20 year professional<br />

career, there’s only one question<br />

people want to know.<br />

“It doesn’t matter what I do<br />

or what I win, when I play with<br />

people the first thing they ask<br />

is what was it like playing with<br />

Tiger,” said Pettigrew.<br />

He has no problem regularly<br />

recalling the third round of the<br />

2002 NZ Open at Paraparaumu<br />

Beach. In fact, it’s the first thing<br />

he mentioned when asked about<br />

his career highlights.<br />

“Tiger is the only person I’ve<br />

ever met that has a certain type<br />

of energy or aura you feel when<br />

you’re standing next to them,”<br />

said Pettigrew, who maintains he<br />

is not the “gooey spiritual type”.<br />

If his golfing career to date<br />

is anything to go by, the senior<br />

ranks could be his heyday. In<br />

golfing terms, Pettigrew is a late<br />

bloomer. He didn’t pick up the<br />

game until <strong>15</strong> and turned pro at<br />

30. He then went through spells<br />

of playing on tour full-time and<br />

part-time in Australasia and<br />

Europe, reaching a career high<br />

world ranking of 741 in 1999.<br />

CANTERBURY’S bowling<br />

teams are in form heading into<br />

next month’s national intercentre<br />

tournament in Christchurch.<br />

Canterbury A and B teams<br />

played in a quadrangular tournament<br />

played at Bowls Hornby<br />

at the weekend, against Otago<br />

and Marlborough.<br />

Both the Canterbury A men<br />

and women’s teams won their<br />

competitions with Marlborough<br />

second, Otago third and Canterbury<br />

B fourth in both competitions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury A men suffered<br />

just one loss in both the<br />

triples and singles on their way<br />

to a commanding overall win.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pairs team which saw the<br />

return of experienced heads<br />

Stephen Ditfort and Kelvin<br />

Scott to competition following<br />

LOCAL HOPE: Christchurch’s Martin Pettigrew, fresh from<br />

winning the Victorian Senior Open this month, is eyeing up<br />

the NZPGA Seniors Championship. He is best known for being<br />

Tiger Woods’ playing partner in the third round of the NZ<br />

Open in 2002.<br />

earnings at the $35,000 NZPGA<br />

Seniors Championship.<br />

<strong>The</strong> championship is the equal<br />

largest purse on the New Zealand<br />

leg of the tour. <strong>The</strong> winner<br />

of the order of merit wins a spot<br />

in a Champions Tour event – the<br />

world’s biggest senior golf tour –<br />

which features tournaments with<br />

prize money pools ranging from<br />

injuries. <strong>The</strong> pair staked a strong<br />

case to be the pair to go with for<br />

the intercentre tournament with<br />

three commanding victories.<br />

<strong>The</strong> men’s fours team made up of<br />

Craig Carter (skip), Paul Matheson,<br />

Liam Eathorne and Richard<br />

Hocking also went undefeated.<br />

New Zealand’s most successful<br />

US$750,000 to $4 million.<br />

<strong>The</strong> championship is the final<br />

event in a week-long stay for the<br />

legends tour in Canterbury.<br />

Former major and European<br />

Tour winners are also part of<br />

Canterbury’s biggest week of<br />

senior golf.<br />

Tomorrow Russley will host<br />

the Garden City Legends Classic,<br />

EXPERIENCED:<br />

Stephen Ditfort<br />

returned to<br />

representative<br />

duties following<br />

a lay off with a<br />

neck injury ​<br />

bowler at national<br />

level Gary Lawson didn’t<br />

compete for Canterbury at the<br />

tournament. However, Canterbury<br />

men’s coach Darryl Hawker<br />

confirmed that Lawson will<br />

be available for the intercentre<br />

tournament where Canterbury<br />

the Canterbury men will defend<br />

which includes New Zealand<br />

golfing legend and former Open<br />

Championship winner, Sir Bob<br />

Charles.<br />

<strong>The</strong> week started with a<br />

tournament at Hanmer Springs<br />

on Sunday, which was taken out<br />

by Australian Martin Petersen.<br />

On Monday, the Mainpower<br />

Legends Pro-Am at Rangiora<br />

was shared between American<br />

Shaquill Mongel and Australians<br />

Bryan Wearne, Michael<br />

Harwood and Glenn Joyer, who<br />

all finished tied on three under.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NZPGA Seniors Championship<br />

starts with two rounds<br />

at Waimairi Beach on Sunday<br />

and Monday. <strong>The</strong> final round<br />

on Tuesday will be played at<br />

Waitikiri.<br />

Defending champion Tim Elliott<br />

will return but will face stiff<br />

competition from the likes of<br />

two-time champion Peter Fowler,<br />

as well as Harwood, Brad Burns<br />

and Pettigrew.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are 54 professionals<br />

from Australia, France, Tahiti,<br />

Canada, United States, United<br />

Kingdom and New Zealand<br />

competing for the title.<br />

<strong>The</strong> championship was first<br />

played for in 1976 when Wellington<br />

professional Ben Shelton<br />

claimed the title. It is an open<br />

event for professionals over the<br />

age of 50.<br />

Other past winners include<br />

Simon Owen, Terry Gale,<br />

Randall Vines and Rodger Davis.<br />

Win puts bowlers in strong position ahead of tournament<br />

their national title.<br />

“We’ll have some more meaningful<br />

in-house competition<br />

before a squad is selected at the<br />

end of the month,” said Hawker.<br />

“We are pretty confident with<br />

group of guys we’ve got and playing<br />

on a home track will be a bit<br />

of a bonus.”<br />

Current Blackjack player and<br />

recently named Commonwealth<br />

Games representative Mandy<br />

Boyd (skip) played in the<br />

Canterbury A team with her<br />

sister Angela Boyd in the pairs.<br />

In their opening game against<br />

Marlborough they clawed back<br />

from a 2-11 deficit to eventually<br />

draw 21-21. <strong>The</strong> rest of the<br />

weekend the sisters remained<br />

unbeaten.<br />

In total, the Canterbury A<br />

women lost just three of their 12<br />

matches.

Buying a property at auction<br />

If you’re keen on a property that’s<br />

going to auction, preparation is<br />

everything. A successful bid means<br />

you are immediately committed to buy<br />

the property; you cannot seek legal<br />

advice, arrange finance or even get the<br />

property valued or inspected when the<br />

auction is over.<br />

That means you need to do all your<br />

due diligence in advance of auction<br />

day. Before the auction (usually after<br />

you’ve viewed the property), the real<br />

estate agent working for the seller<br />

should provide you with a copy of the<br />

terms and Contract of Sale, which sets<br />

out what chattels will be included with<br />

the property. This document will also<br />

tell you the amount of the deposit to<br />

be paid by the successful bidder, and<br />

when the balance of the payment must<br />

be made. <strong>The</strong>se documents should be<br />

checked by your lawyer.<br />

You should consider having<br />

the property checked (preferably<br />

by a qualified inspector who has<br />

professional indemnity insurance and<br />

carries out their work in accordance<br />

with the New Zealand Property<br />

Inspection Standards and obtain<br />

an up-to-date Land Information<br />

Memorandum (LIM) from the local<br />

council. It’s a good idea to get a<br />

valuation of the property, especially<br />

as you are likely to require one if you<br />

need a loan. Some websites provide free<br />

estimated market values that may be<br />

useful.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot to take in at an auction<br />

and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you<br />

can, go along to one as an observer to<br />

see how the process works before you<br />

actually want to buy. Remember that<br />

the auctioneer is working for the seller<br />

and they want to get the highest price<br />

possible for the property.<br />

At an auction, the auctioneer will<br />

read the terms and conditions of the<br />

sale aloud and announce if a reserve<br />

price has been set. <strong>The</strong>y must also state<br />

whether the seller has reserved the<br />

right to bid during the auction. This is<br />

called ‘vendor bidding’ and it is only<br />

allowed under strict circumstances,<br />

such as when the property being<br />

auctioned has a reserve price; when the<br />

Mike Fulham<br />

M: 021 300 567<br />

E: mike@starmedia.kiwi<br />

reserve price has not yet been met; and<br />

the auctioneer has made it clear that the<br />

bid being made is a vendor bid. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

must do this by saying, ‘this is a vendor<br />

bid’ rather than using any jargon.<br />

Auctioneers sometimes use vendor<br />

bids as a way to start off the bidding,<br />

or to move the bidding towards the<br />

reserve price. Vendor bids can be made<br />

by the auctioneer, or another person<br />

working on behalf of the seller, such as<br />

a real estate agent. An auctioneer can<br />

also use a pre-auction offer to start the<br />

bidding.<br />

<strong>The</strong> auction continues until there is<br />

only one bidder left. At that stage, if the<br />

reserve price is reached or beaten, the<br />

highest bidder will be the successful<br />

buyer. If the reserve price isn’t reached,<br />

the seller can tell the auctioneer to<br />

stop the auction without selling the<br />

property.<br />

If the auction is stopped without a<br />

sale, the highest bidder may have the<br />

opportunity to negotiate with the seller<br />

(via their agent) after the auction. If<br />

this happens, the terms and conditions<br />

of the auction no longer apply and you<br />

can negotiate new ones.<br />
