‘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 />

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 />

a man with a gun threatening<br />
to harm himself. <strong>The</strong> man gave<br />
himself up. Late yesterday police<br />
were considering charges.<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 />
Management Plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> independent expert, Shane<br />
Turner from traffic engineering<br />
firm Stantec, will assess how<br />
increased traffic will impact on<br />
the surrounding road network,<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 />

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 />
Rutherford reports<br />
THE CITY council has a<br />
treasure trove of pieces by local<br />
and international artists – but<br />
the value and locations for most<br />
of them will not be released to<br />
the public.<br />
Information released to <strong>The</strong><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 />

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 />
Without the help of Caleb and<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 />

to do more around the house, get<br />
myself to training either on the<br />

the same goal. But for me, I just<br />
have to work that much harder.”<br />
His dream is to play for New<br />
Zealand. He wouldn’t be the first<br />
in his family to fulfil such a lofty<br />
ambition – his uncle, Paul Ackerley,<br />

New Zealand’s greatest ever field<br />
hockey teams, which won gold<br />
at the 1976 Montreal Olympics<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 />

<strong>15</strong>7-space<br />
car park plan<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 />
and shops on the Peterborough St<br />
car park site.<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 />

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 />
went to a good old tradie.<br />
Sandie Payne – Awesome,<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 />

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 />
little mascarpone or whipped<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 />

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 />

• 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 />
This year, Pettigrew has his<br />
sights set on winning the order<br />
of merit in the Australasian PGA<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 />

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 />
