Teen
thought
he would
drown
during
attack
• By Georgia O’Connor Harding and
Andrew King
A GROUP of youths chanted
“drown him” as they held the
head of a 15-year-old under water
on Saturday night.
The teenager was brutally
beaten up in Rolleston before
being dragged to a water race and
pushed under.
Police are following strong leads
in identifying the attackers.
Said Senior Sergeant Pete Stills:
“He has received a real pasting.
His eyes were swollen shut and
he needed stitches for a pretty
serious gash underneath his chin,”
he said.
“It was a harrowing attack by
a group on a lone individual,
“completely unprovoked and
cowardly”.
The attack appears to have been
robbery-motivated.
Four youths approached the
15-year-old on Tennyson St,
Rolleston, at about 10.30pm and
demanded his cap, Senior Sergeant
Stills said.
He had earlier been at a nearby
fireworks event in Foster Park.
When he refused to hand over
the cap, the group repeatedly
punched him and kicked him on
the ground.
They dragged him to a nearby
water drain and held his head
under the water.

DRUGS ARE a terrible thing
and they can lead to promising,
talented people going on a
tangent that ultimately leads to
tragedy.
On pages 4 and 5, we look
at one of those individuals –
Marcus Tucker.
Tucker was murdered in
April, 2016, and last week his
killer was jailed for life.
He leaves behind three
children who will go through
their lives without their dad,
and with many questions as to
why.
Tucker’s case is a tragic one.
He was no angel. He got in
with the wrong people and did
a reasonable amount of time
in jail.
Getting in with the wrong
people has its upside if you are
of that ilk, but it also brings
with it constant danger.
Some people play for keeps
and getting killed or a severe
beating can come with even the
most minor of indiscretion.
But the sad thing about
Tucker’s case is that he may
have been the victim of
mistaken identity.

E. coli found in Lyttelton pump station
E. COLI bacteria has been found
in a pump station used to supply
water to homes and businesses

The city council is chlorinating

cheaper than other privatelyowned

Central City Business
Association manager Paul
Lonsdale said there was some
concern among private operators
the new car park would take
their business because it was
significantly cheaper.
“If the council’s wanting
developers to develop car parks,
they can’t come along and
undercut the prices.”
The car park’s opening also
marks the beginning of the trial
of an hour’s free parking in all
city council-owned off-street car
parks in the central city.
It will cost motorists $2.80 an
hour to park in the Lichfield St
Car Park from 6am-6pm every
day. All day parking would
be $10, while the night-time
hourly rate would be $2.50. In
comparison, it costs $2 to park
in The Crossing and Hereford
St car parks for up to half an
hour, $4 from 31min to an hour,
with an extra $2 every half hour

thereafter. City councillor Jamie
Gough said the Lichfield St Car

ECO-BURIAL
A new eco-burial site will open
within the Diamond Harbour
Memorial Gardens Cemetery
next week. This will be the
first eco-burial site to open in
Christchurch or Banks Peninsula.
A more environmentally friendly
process than what is usual in
New Zealand, eco-burials involve
a shallower plot. The body is
not embalmed, is dressed in
natural, biodegradable materials,
and the coffin or shroud is also
biodegradable and non-toxic.
QE II MAORI NAMES
The Coastal-Burwood
Community Board will
participate in a closed workshop
at the end of the month to discuss
whether the new QE II site will
receive some Maori names. The
workshop will be with the city
council. There may be a Maori
name added on to the name of the
park or some streets may receive
Maori names. Discussions and
approval from the Queen’s office
will be required before anything
can be added to the park’s
original name.
NEW COUNCIL VIDEO GEAR
The video equipment used to live
stream city council meetings has
been upgraded. City council chief
information officer Vicki Taylor
said it was a planned upgrade to
replace technology that was more
than seven-years-old. She said
the improvements had utilised
technology changes over that
time. “There has been no change

GATEWAY OPENING
The new Memorial Avenue
Gateway Bridge will open to traffic
next week. The bridge, with
its arches, is the final piece to be
completed in the multi-million
dollar upgrade of Russley Rd.
An open day on top of the bridge
will take place on Saturday from
10am-2pm. Those interested need

Fire rages, homes at risk
The lively young boy who grew
Small-time criminal Marcus Tucker was brutally murdered over a possible mistaken
identity. Two weeks before his death, his mother and brother pleaded with him to
sort himself out. Andrew King reports
FLIRTY, LOYAL, protective and
a troublemaker were words family
and friends used to describe the
man who was brutally killed
after he was wrongly accused of
ripping off a drug dealer.
Marcus Luke Tucker’s badly
bashed and burnt body was found
by fishermen on Anzac Day, 2016,
in a drain on a country road near
Doyleston on the way to Leeston.
Last week, Peter John Carroll,
53, was sentenced in the High
Court at Christchurch to life
imprisonment with a minimum
non-parole period of 17 years for
Mr Tucker’s murder.
A post-mortem showed he had
a fractured skull, and broken
nose, eye socket and shoulder
blade, as well as missing teeth.
BROTHERS: Matt Tucker said
no one was closer to Marcus
than him.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
It was later discovered the
injuries were caused by a
sustained and brutal attack by
Carroll with a metal steering lock.
Marcus was born on May
21, 1979, at Burwood Hospital,
weighing 2.9kg (6lb 9oz). He
was the oldest of three Tucker
children.
His mother Robyn and stepfather,
Murray Tucker, who was
in the military, spent a handful of
years in Christchurch before they
were transferred to Hobsonville,
Auckland, in 1982
“He [Marcus] was a busy
boy who never stopped. He
was always into lots of little
mischievous things,” Mrs Tucker
told The Star this week.
She recalls Marcus and a friend,
when they were about 4, getting
onto a nearby airfield on their
trikes while the family searched
for them.
A low flying helicopter hovering
over the airfield spotted them and
let the family know where they
were.
“He just smiled about the whole
situation,” Mrs Tucker said.
In 1983, the family moved to
Waiouru, in the central North
Island, where Marcus started
school the following year.
Not an academic, Marcus soon
showed a skilled hand with art
and had a keen ear for music –
two passions he kept close right
up until the end.
In 1985, the family returned to
Burnham and Marcus attended
Weedons School. He played
sports, made friends and was a
normal kid, his mother said.
His father left the army in 1990
and the family moved to Fairlie.
Marcus attended Fairlie Primary
and Mackenzie College.
It was in Fairlie where the
wheels started to fall off.
His brother, Matt Tucker, told
The Star Marcus had a falling out
with his parents.
It is something Mrs Tucker
doesn’t want to discuss.
When Marcus was about 16, he
spent time with a foster family in
Timaru for about eight months.
It was here where the trouble
started.

up to meet a terrible end
He was involved in robbing
Russian seamen and was sent
to the Whakapakari facility
on Great Barrier Island, a Government-funded
and supervised
wilderness boot camp.
Matt said it was just like his
brother to go along with something
like that.
“It wasn’t like he would be the
one who would say, ‘let’s go do
this or that’ but he would be the
first one to get involved if some
else had the idea.”
“He would have the two parrots
on his shoulder, good and
bad, and he would just listen to
the bad one every time.”
In Timaru, he gave himself the
fateful name ‘Ruckus’, a combination
of his first and last names,
Mrs Tucker thinks.
During the court case, the
Crown alleged Carroll had
believed Marcus, because of
his nickname, was involved in
a gunpoint robbery of a drug
dealer in March, resulting in
$10,000 drugs being taken.
Carroll was tasked to teach
him a lesson. But the Crown said
it was a case of mistaken identity.
Marcus had been using fake
$100 notes to pay for methamphetamine
but was not related to
the March robbery.
Mrs Tucker said when he was
about 15 or 16, he started to
drink. But she believes he hadn’t
started to use harder drugs like
methamphetamine.
In 1996, after his stint on Great
Barrier Island, he rejoined the
family, which had moved back to
Christchurch and were living in
Sydenham.
But the downward spiral was
already happening.
Said his sister Belinda Ross:
YOUNG:
Marcus
Tucker at his
grandfather’s
place in
Halswell in
the early 80s.
“He just started hanging out with
the wrong crowd. He was looking
for a connection with other,
like-minded people who had
things in common.”
He was in and out of jail
numerous times, usually for
drug and dishonesty offences,
including breaching hire purchase
rules, cheque fraud and
drink-driving while his licence
was suspended.
He would use methamphetamine
and synthetic drugs.
“There were times I would tell
him to settle down, that caused a
few arguments, sometimes in the
middle of the street,” said Matt.
In 2015, Marcus wrote to Matt
from jail, saying he was remorseful
for the times he had lashed
out at Matt for telling him to
slow down on the drugs.
In the weeks leading up to his
death, Matt had confronted his
brother about his use of synthetic
cannabis, a habit he had
developed while in prison during
2013.
“He would get quite spaced out
by it. I told him to stop taking
that f*****g s**t, it’s pathetic,” he
said.
Matt said Marcus would sometimes
forget he had purchased
drugs after a serious head injury
he sustained in Dunedin at the
hands of a gang member.
Marcus was dancing with the
man’s girlfriend, which he took
exception to and smashed him
in the eye with a large rock from
behind. Marcus underwent facial
reconstructive surgery.
Matt last saw his brother about
a week before he was battered to
death at a Bishopdale property.
Matt said: “See you later bro.
Watch out, there is something
happening in Christchurch at the
moment.”
Two detectives arrived on his
doorstep to give him the bad
news.
He then called his parents, his
mother who lives in Blenheim,
and father in Christchurch.
Said Mrs Tucker: “He (Matt)
called me saying ‘mum it’s Marcus,
mum it’s Marcus, mum it’s
Marcus, and it is not good’. I said
‘it’s okay, I am on my way’.”
The following day they went to
the morgue.
At the morgue, Matt said: “I
just said ‘rest in peace bro, those
that did this to you will live in
hell’.”
Until she saw his body, she did
not believe he was dead, said Mrs
Tucker.
“I was begging him two weeks
before his murder to sort his s**t
out for his kids . . . he just said
‘yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s all good
mum’.”
Marcus had three children
to three different women. The
first, Caleb, was born on his 18th
birthday.
“I told him ‘you don’t know
what you are in for’, but he was
excited about his son,” said Mrs
Tucker.

Pero’s former company after $2.2m
• By Hamish Fletcher
MIKE PERO Mortgages has
been given the green light to
pursue its founder and namesake
for $2.2 million that he overpaid
himself at their jointly-owned
real estate business.
The move is the latest in a
long-running legal dispute between
Mike Pero (right) and the
mortgage broking firm that still
bears his name, the NZ Herald
reported this week.
While the Christchurch-based
entrepreneur no longer has a
stake in that business, both are
shareholders of Mike Pero Real
Estate.
Mr Pero is the chief executive
of that nationwide real estate
network and last year was found
by a High Court judge to have
given himself a pay rise without
his co-owner’s approval.
The real estate boss, according
to the judge, increased his salary
from $200,000 to $340,000
a year and also authorised an
additional “brand ambassador”
payment to himself of $125,000
per annum.
Mr Pero and another company
he controls was ordered to pay
back all money they received in
excess of $200,000 a year.
That was later calculated as
being $2.179 million. As of last
month, none of it has been paid
back.
Mike Pero Mortgages recently
applied to the High Court to
bring legal action on behalf of
the real estate business to recover
the funds.
Mr Pero’s lawyer told Justice
Sarah Katz, at a hearing last
month, that the mortgages business
was likely contemplating
bankruptcy moves against his
client and liquidation proceedings
against his company.
However, Mike Pero Mortgages’
lawyer said that enforcement
action could also include
charging orders and sales orders
against Mr Pero’s assets.
Liquidation or bankruptcy
proceedings were only two of
many available options, he said.
Mr Pero’s lawyer said that any
bankruptcy action that the real
estate business took against his
client would bring considerable
negative publicity and damage to
its brand.
Mike Pero Mortgages director
Sherman Ma said in an affidavit
to the court that he believed the
real estate business could still
thrive without its namesake.
“In Mr Ma’s view, MPRE has
reached a level of development
such that it could continue to be
successful, and could transcend
its connection with Mr Pero,
should that become necessary,”
Justice Katz said. The judge said
the costs of enforcement action
would be low – relative to the
amount at stake – and that the
real estate business was not in a
position to pursue proceedings
itself because Pero was a director
and opposed such a course.
Granting Mike Pero Mortgages’
application would restore the
usual creditor/debtor dynamic
that would exist if Pero was not
on the real estate firm’s board.
“Any discussions regarding
recovery of the judgment
sum can take place against the
background that if a reasonable
resolution cannot be reached,
MPRE is in a position to take
or continue with enforcement
action. It is in MPRE’s interests
that the full range of recovery
options are available to it, including
enforcement action against
Mr Pero and [his company],”
Justice Katz said.
She gave Mike Pero Mortgages
leave to take enforcement action
on behalf of the real estate business
against Pero and his firm.
Mr Pero in a statement to the
NZ Herald said: “This is an issue
between the two shareholders
of Mike Pero Real Estate Ltd –
Sherman Ma and me, and relates
primarily to historical issues.
“It has nothing to do with the
company’s (MPRE) trading,
which remains strong nor the
company’s day-to-day activities,
which continue to go from
strength to strength.
“We currently have our own
Shareholder’s Dispute Resolution
process in play to prevent future
litigation and I remain hopeful
that this issue will be resolved to
the satisfaction of both parties,”
he said. A spokesperson for Mike
Pero Mortgages said: “The Mike
Pero Group looks forward to
quickly resolving this matter and
to continue providing exceptional
service to its valued customers.”

homeowner Kim Mehlhopt,
city council head of resource
consents John Higgins said one
option could be to “re-site” the
house on her property as part of
her EQC repairs.
Her home may need to be
lifted and a new foundation put
down as part of those repairs.
“They expect, hey, just move
your house,” Ms Mehlhopt said.
In September, The Star
revealed JSJ Investments was
building townhouses next door
to Ms Mehlhopt’s home of 15
years – the garage less than a
metre away.
She said the development
will devalue her home, cost her
privacy, and the street’s family
orientated appeal. But under
the District Plan, zoning for the
development is compliant.
The city council has met with
JSJ Investments director Nick
Johnston to discuss how the
development could be altered to

make it better for Ms Mehlhopt.
“As the development in question
is consented and largely
constructed, there is little that
can be easily changed, or the
council can require be changed,
in terms of the built form of that
development,” a city council
spokeswoman said.
In an email to Ms Mehlhopt,
Mr Higgins said the developer
had agreed to pay for a boundary
fence. But he said access to Ms
Mehlhopt’s property would need
to be granted and her backyard
garden shed would need to be
removed to build the fence.
“How can they grant nonnotifiable
consent when we have
to do things on your neighbour’s
property?” Ms Mehlhopt said.
“At this point, I continue to allow
no access to my property.”
Mr Higgins said in the email
the city council had also discussed
compensation or a possible
buy out with the developer.
But the email said the developer
did not feel the need to pay
compensation because the development
was complaint, and he
wanted to see how the units sold
before offering to buy her out.
Ms Mehlhopt said she kept
being told little could be done
because the development was
too advanced. She contacted a
lawyer this week.
“There’s no benefit to me at
this point.”
The discussions came after city
council staff, Wigram MP Megan
Woods and city councillor
Phil Clearwater visited Ms Mehlhopt
to discuss her concerns
following stories in The Star.
The issue has been referred to
the District Plan team to consider
any future changes to it.
Fire rages, homes at risk
Attacked teen
thought he
would drown
•From page 1
Then in an appalling move,
some in the group urged the others
to drown him.
“We are unsure how long he
was underwater
for,” said Senior
Sergeant Stills.
“At one stage
and he believed
he was going to
be drowned.”
The teenager
eventually broke
free and attempted
to run home.

The teenager’s mother, who did
not want to be named, said he
collapsed near their house and
caught the attention of the neighbour’s
who brought him home.
“I didn’t recognise him, I
thought ‘who the hell are you’,”
she said.
“He couldn’t talk and his
mouth was full of blood.”
They called 111 and he was

Study shows quarter acre Kiwi dream
• By Bridget Rutherford
PLANS TO make inner
Christchurch suburbs more
populated have hit a stumbling
block – people don’t like living
close together.
That is the what new research
looking into living preferences in
the city has found.
Canterbury University transportation
lecturer Diana
Kusumastuti’s paper,
Mixed-use development
in Christchurch, New
Zealand: Do you want to
live there? has just been
published in the Urban
Studies Journal.
It looked at the weight
residents put on buying
a home, and what factors
were more important.
Dr Kusumastuti said the
research found more people were
likely to buy a home in the city’s
outer suburbs because the properties
were larger, quieter, private
and often cheaper.
“From what we saw, people
dislike high density living. An
increase in density reduces the
probability of choosing in either
area.”
It comes as new housing
developments are being built in
Diana
Kusumastuti
the central city, including anchor
project the East Frame, and after
District Plan zone changes were
made to encourage inner city
living.
When Mayor Lianne Dalziel
was re-elected last year, she said
she wanted 20,000 people living
in the central city before 2024.
She was unable to comment on
the research yesterday as
she had not read it.
Dr Kusumastuti said
people did not place much
importance on travel
times to get into the innercity
when buying because
in Christchurch they were
under the “acceptable
amount”.
“It might be 45min to go
to your work compared to
the inner-suburbs. But you have
to pay more for property there.”
The central city, Merivale,
Papanui, Fendalton, Riccarton,
Addington and part of Linwood
were all classed as innersuburban
areas, while the rest
were outer-suburban areas.
The study used the responses
from 141 people through an
online survey. Respondents were
asked to rate the importance
of 24 “neighbourhood factors”
when deciding to buy a home.
DENSE: New research has found Christchurch people are more likely to buy homes in the outer
suburbs, rather than apartments like these on Park Tce.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Of those, respondents said
the most important factors were
safety, quietness, privacy, the
type of neighbourhood,
location and proneness to
flooding.
Respondents were also asked
to indicate their liking for living
near 12 different activity types.
Of those, most were happy
living near a park, supermarket,
playground or school.
But few wanted to live near
offices, a cinema, a rail station,
clothing shops or bars.
After the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, the existing District
Plans needed to be replaced,
which was done through the
city council and an independent
hearings panel.
As part of the process some
zones were altered to allow
for higher density housing
developments.
Dr Kusumastuti said that had
scared some people who were
living in those suburbs because
larger developments could be
built there.
Somerfield was an example,
with consent being granted to
Multay Developments to build
four two-storey townhouses at 23
Studholme St which residents are
fiercely opposed to.

beats inner city living in Chch
The research said the planning
practices and policies in force
to encourage mixed-use development
may “reduce the attractiveness”
of inner-suburban
properties.
But it said the findings should
not hinder efforts to encourage
mixed-use development living,
and more research needed to
be done on how to make highdensity
living more attractive.
Central Ward city councillor
Deon Swiggs, who lives in
the inner-city, said in foreign
countries, they only went home
to sleep.
“We need to make our city
centre the living room for people
who want to live in the central
city.”
He said the offer of living in
the central city was not as appealing
as it used to be. But with
new apartment blocks and the
East Frame being built, it was
improving, he said.
But Christchurch needed to
cater for everyone and, for some
families, the inner-city was not
appropriate, he said.
In July, a city council survey
found a lot of people did not feel
safe in the central city. To make
it safer, it needed to be more

populated, Cr Swiggs said.
Central City Business Association
manager Paul Lonsdale said
housing in the inner city needed
to be affordable.
“I know the council has had a
wish to have a lot of people living
back in the central city by a
certain time,” he said.
“If the council’s really keen on
making that happen, they have
to do something to assist that
momentum, otherwise it won’t
happen to the degree they want.”
Mr Lonsdale said businesses
would thrive if more people
lived closer, and some could stay
open for longer to cater for that.
With more people, came
increased safety at night, he said.
He said Christchurch had
amenities, such as parks and
open spaces in the central city,
which lessened the need to own
a larger property and backyard.
“Having a quarter acre section
is a life of work.”
Dr Kusumastuti said it would
be difficult to make inner-city
living more
attractive,
because it was
Christchurch
culture to own
homes with
backyards.
But she said
culture could
be changed Paul Lonsdale
because the
current outwards spread of
housing was not sustainable.
That had happened in Auckland,
with many people deciding
to compromise on size because
of a lack of affordability, she
said.
Ways to make inner-city,
mixed-use living more attractive
should be investigated, she said,
which included the design of
the buildings to try and reduce
noise. The research was supported
by the Building Research
Association of New Zealand
through the Building Research
Levy.

East Frame
unsuitable for
dog park plan
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE CENTRAL city’s East
Frame will not get a dog park after
it was considered an unsuitable
location.
It came after the Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board
asked Fletcher Living, which is
building the residential development,
if there was provision for a
dog park. The board said it would
cater for people and their pets living
in the central city.
But Otakaro chief executive
Albert Brantley has since written
back saying after speaking with
the city council’s parks and animal
management team, the East
Frame was considered unsuitable.
“The team commented that due
to the long, linear nature of the
East Frame reserves, and their
proximity to high density housing,
the area is not considered
appropriate for the siting of a dog
park.”
Otakaro is the Government
agency overseeing anchor projects
like the East Frame.
Mr Brantley said Otakaro
acknowledged a dog park was
needed for the central city, but
a careful site selection process
would need to be done.

Woods, Dalziel
talk rebuild,
mental health
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel met
with new Minister for Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
Megan Woods on Friday to
discuss priorities for the city.
Ms Dalziel said the meeting
was the first of many to come. She
said Dr Woods had a clear understanding
of the issues Christchurch
is facing. “Most importantly,
it was a great start to forming a
successful working partnership
between the new Government and
the city.”
Ms Dalziel said the new Government
had “synergies” with the
city council’s strategic directions,
including accelerating elements of
the post-earthquake recovery not
fully funded previously.
She said the city council was
pleased the Government made a
commitment to hold an inquiry
into the Earthquake Commission,
and to work with the Canterbury
District Health Board and other
agencies to address mental health.
“I also want to pay tribute to
Hon Nicky Wagner, who stepped
into the role just months before
the election. She achieved a lot in
a short time and I wish her well,”
Ms Dalziel said.

STRICTER ROAD maintenance
standards and GPS tracking of
contractors are now being used
to improve the quality of the
city’s roads and footpaths.
The city council has implemented
a new system to monitor
the work of three new contractors
which cover the 1600km of
road around the city.
The contractors, City Care,
Higgins and HEB, took over last
month.
City council road maintenance
manager Mark Pinner
said the new system meant
there were stricter standards for
contractors, the quality of their
work, and how quickly it was
done.
For example, a pothole reported
on a high volume road
would need to be fixed within
a day, while one on a lower volume
route would be within two
days, he said.
If the contractor continued to
fail to meet the time restrictions
imposed across all maintenance
tasks, they would be paid less,
he said.
“If they fail any one item on
any given month, when they do
it the next month, the deduction
occurs.”

standards for maintenance in a bid to improve the condition
of the city’s roads.

The changes come after city
councillors raised the issue of
falling maintenance levels across
the city earlier this year, saying
it was “failing spectacularly” to
keep the city maintained and
the number of complaints down.
At the time, they said there
was not enough data to show
what was being done and what
was not.
Mr Pinner said the new system
was about making sure the
city council got the best value
for money, and it provided better
services for ratepayers.

He said the new system also
meant the city council could
track contractor movements.
“All vehicles have GPS trackers
plotting where they are, and
we can see how quickly they’ve
responded. We’ll be upping our
game in terms of auditing,” he
said.
“We’re going to be out in the
field a lot more,
supervising
this work.”
When ratepayers
called
the city council
to report
something that
needed fixing,
the request
would also go Aaron Keown
directly to the contractor, he
said.
“It’s a big step and, more importantly,
it has improved focus
on our key performance indicators
and performance targets we
set the contractor.”
City councillor Aaron Keown
said the new system was a way
of being “proactive, rather than
reactive”. He said a similar
system was being developed for
parks maintenance as well.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Bridge traffic light
saga continues
• By Sarla Donovan
ALL THE light phases at
the problematic St Andrews
Hill intersection could be
resequenced.
The troublespot was the focus
of public consultation
earlier this year, with the
city council presenting
three options to try
and solve some of the
problems.
Though more than
600 submissions were
received, none of the
three options were greenlighted.
Instead, the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
opted in July to trial changing
the Main Rd light phasing.
But the trial never went ahead,
after city council staff decided
reprogramming the Main Rd
left arrow light for city-bound
traffic would create congestion.
“The delays that would be
incurred by vehicles on Main Rd
and Ferry Rd would significantly
increase queue lengths in the
peak hours. The benefits to St
Andrews Hill Rd (users) were
minor and did not outweigh
the dis-benefit to the main
traffic flows,” said city council
transport planning and delivery
manager Mike Jacobson.
He said another option to
change the phasing sequence
was being considered and they
would inform the board
about it this month.
It would affect all
phases of the lights
at the Ferry Rd/Main
Rd/Bridle Path Rd
intersection.
But Heathcote Ward
city councillor Sara
Ruth Dyson Templeton said the
original intent of the
board resolution to change the
phasing sequence of the light
was misunderstood, and staff
investigated a timing change
instead.
“I was really disappointed.
I’m hoping that the new
assessment will be quickly
done, so that we can go ahead
with the trial and improve
the movements and safety
of residents coming down St
Andrews Hill onto Bridle Path
Rd.” Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson
said she found the city council’s
response frustrating.

RABBITS ON the Anzac Drive,
New Brighton and Travis Rds
roundabouts could be culled or
caught and released elsewhere.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency is yet to make a decision
on their future.
However, an NZTA spokeswoman
said the highway maintenance
team is putting in place a
rabbit control operation over the
coming weeks.
“In the meantime, we encourage
people to take their safety
responsibilities and that of the
other drivers on this busy road
seriously and concentrate on the
road and safe driving,” she said.
“People should not be venturing
on to the traffic island for
their own safety and the safety of
other drivers.”
About 20 black rabbits
have been spotted at the busy
roundabouts.
Some motorists posted their
concerns on the People’s Independent
Republic of New Brighton
Facebook page about people
wanting to view the rabbits.
The concerns raised were about
motorists driving slowly to look
at them and others parking up
and crossing the road with children
to get to the roundabouts.
BUNNIES: Several options are being considered to deal with
the rabbits on some of the city’s roundabouts.
Transport for Christchurch
posted a video on its Facebook
page of the rabbits with a safety
message.
“It is not a good idea to take
(children) across the road onto
the roundabout,” the post said.
“We all know how unpredictable
young children can be when
over-excited, this could also
endanger the rabbits and scare
them into running on to the
road. This is a state highway and
heavily used by large trucks.”

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

of their glass creations.

Stopping
fire on
the ice
• By Andrew King
SPECIALIST FIRE investigator
Mark Thomas has always wanted
to go to Antarctica.
Now, three months before he
retires, he will step foot on the
frozen continent to evaluate
fire protection, suppression and
emergency evacuation plans at
Scott Base.
Antarctica New Zealand has
requested the inspection to make
sure it is up to the same standard
as regulations in New Zealand,
Mr Thomas said.
The Christchurch investigator,
along with Fire and Emergency
New Zealand senior fire engineer
Paul Richards and a representative
from the fire protection industry,
will spend seven days on
the ice looking at ways to improve
evacuation plans and how fires
are dealt with.
“It is an interesting place with
some unique challenges. Depending
on the time of the year, you
can’t just have people running
outside. Sometimes the weather
out there is more dangerous than
the fire,” Mr Thomas said.
Punch costs Canty prop $10,000
• By Rob Kidd
A PROMISING Canterbury
rugby player and former
weightlifting world champion
has been ordered to pay a
student $10,000 after a brawl.
Joel Nikoli Hintz, 21, pleaded
guilty to a charge of injuring by
unlawful act when he appeared
before the Dunedin District
Court yesterday.
In August, the big front-rower
was named in the Canterbury
squad which successfully
defended the Ranfurly Shield in
two pre-season games against
Wanganui and Mid-Canterbury.
He played for the champion
Hawkins Trophy Lincoln
University side.
But hanging over him during
those matches was the prospect
of a conviction that could limit
his future sporting endeavours.
On April 4, Hintz and friends
went to Dunedin as part of their
course at Lincoln University.
They were socialising at a
student party in Queen St.
The defendant saw two men
wrestling in the backyard of the
property.
‘’Without warning he
punched the victim once in
the mouth with a closed fist,’’ a
police summary said.
IN COURT: Canterbury prop Joel Hintz has been ordered to
pay $10,000 after injuring a man at a student party. ​
Counsel Anne Stevens said
her client had not attacked the
man completely out of the blue,
as court documents suggested.
‘’He genuinely thought he
was helping someone, but he
misread the situation,’’ she said.
Hintz told police he thought
the men were fighting, and as
he tried to separate them, the
victim threw a punch at him to
which he reacted.
However, the injured man
denied that was the case.
The victim – an Australian
man who was in the country
studying, and also played rugby
– suffered damage to an incisor
tooth, which caused the tooth
to die.
He required a titanium
implant and a false tooth to be
fitted, Sergeant Chris George
said.
The estimated cost of the
dental work was $12,000.
The figure surprised Mrs
Stevens, who had previously
been informed of a smaller sum.
A final cost would only be
known in March next year, the
court heard.
Judge John Macdonald first
indicated the sentencing should
be adjourned for the issue to be
clarified but was later persuaded
to continue.
Mrs Stevens said Hintz had
$5000 available for the victim
but could borrow more.
He would suffer significantly
with a conviction on his record,
she said, through the inevitable
hurdles it would place for
overseas travel.
As well as rugby, Hintz
had also tasted success in
weightlifting when he went
to the world championships
in Johannesburg in 2014 as a
teenager.
He blitzed the competition
and set a record in his weight
class, according to reports at the
time.
Judge Macdonald
acknowledged the defendant
was ‘’a man of promise’’ and the
conviction was the first blemish
on his record.
Hintz was ordered to pay the
victim $10,000 (half now, half in
a month) as well as court costs
of $130.

TWO FORMER New Brighton
players could face each other on
the international rugby stage.
Phil Burleigh has been named
in the wider Scotland squad
while his good mate Ryan
Crotty has made the All Black
centre position his own.
The duo spent plenty of time
together growing up, playing
through the grades at New
Brighton and in the same first
XV side at Shirley Boys’ High
during the 2004 and 2005
seasons.
FINGERS CROSSED: Wayne
Burleigh (left) and Steve
Crotty are hoping their sons
are selected to play each
other in the end of year test
in Scotland.

Now there is a chance they
could line up against each
other during the end of year
tour when the All Blacks play
Scotland on November 18 at
Murrayfield.
In another New Brighton
connection, Kieron Fonotia
has been selected at centre
for Manu Samoa for the test
against Scotland on Saturday at
Murrayfield.
Coincidentally, Fonotia was
also in the same Shirley first XV
team in 2005 with Burleigh and
Crotty.
The Scottish team has not
yet been named but Burleigh
is unlikely to face Fonotia, his
father Wayne Burleigh told The
Star yesterday.
Mr Burleigh said if you told
him five years ago a Crotty
and Burleigh match-up would
happen, he would have said
‘you’re crazy.’
“We are pinching ourselves
about the fact it could happen. It
would be a dream come true if
he could play Ryan,” he said.
Both have played each other
at Super Rugby and provincial
level.
“They are really good mates.
After one game, they were still
on the field after half an hour
chatting away,” Mr Burleigh
said. Crotty’s father Steve Crotty
and Mr Burleigh have been
mates for years and even flatted
together “many years ago” on
Marine Pde and also played
rugby in the same New Brighton
team during the 80s.
“It is a special occasion for
both families,” Mr Crotty said.
“We know exactly what they
are going through after hearing
about the selection. We have
been through it and we know
how proud they will be,” he said.
Burleigh joined Edinburgh
Rugby on a two-year deal in
the summer of 2014 from the
Highlanders and extended his
contract in 2016 for another two.
His time spent playing rugby
in Scotland saw him eligible for
selection in the national side.
He does have Scottish heritage
with his great-grandmother
born in Aberdeen, but the
requirement for entry into the
national side cuts off at the
grandparents.
Shirley head of rugby John
Fox said they were all incredibly
talented, but they had to work
for it. “They all put in the hard
work to get to where they are.
They are great examples to the
up-and-coming kids in rugby,”
he said.

Eugenie Sage
Green voice in Government
Eugenie Sage is one of four Green Party MPs to
hold ministerial portfolios in the new Government.​
Bridget Rutherford spoke to her about politics
and living in Diamond Harbour
So you’re the new minister
of conservation, minister of
land information and associate
minister for the environment.
How does that feel?
I’m really delighted and
humbled to have all three. The
election campaign and aftermath
had been quite noisy – there was
a lot we found out at the same
time as the rest of New Zealand
when the Rt. Hon Deputy Prime
Minister Winston Peters announced
it. Then, 10min later,
we had a party teleconference to
actually agree to go into Government.
I was very pleasantly
surprised. Being involved in
negotiations, I was incredibly
proud of the way the Green Party
organised to have that massive
teleconference with delegates to
make the decision we’d be part
of the new Government. There
were a lot of discussions considering
it is historic; it’s the first
time the Greens have been in
Parliament in our 21 years. It was
an intensive effort by all three
parties to examine each other’s
policies, look at where common
ground was, and prioritise.
Did you expect Mr Peters to
make the decision he did?
No, I didn’t know which way it
would go.
What will your new
ministerial positions consist of?
We’ve got a biodiversity crisis
in New Zealand. About 3000
species are at risk of extinction.
We need to do much better in
protecting native plants and
animals and the places they live
so these species can thrive. We’ve
got an international responsibility
to do that because so many
are only here in New Zealand.
Our natural landscapes, wildlife
and special places around
Aotearoa are vitally important
to tourism – they are what bring
tourists here and market our
product overseas. The Green
Party campaigned for a change
of Government to make that
‘100% Pure’ image real – to give
it some integrity. We’ve got a real
responsibility to deliver on that
promise.
Does that bring pressure?
Yes, but it is exciting, though,
because voters have given us a
mandate.
What’s your favourite
animal?
The bellbird I hear at home
because of their call, the kea
and the robust grasshopper in
the Mackenzie Basin. It’s grey
so it’s difficult to see. We’ve got
an amazing insect fauna in New
Zealand that people tend to
overlook. I like the longfin eel
because they’ve got an incredible
life story. They can live to
80-years-old. They live in Te
Waihora/Lake Ellesmere then
they migrate and swim offshore
to Tonga where they spawn and
die. Then the glass eels drift back
through the current and come
back to New Zealand. It is an
astonishing life cycle. We’ve got
a responsibility to protect them,
and that’s another of the priorities,
particularly making sure the
Treaty of Waitangi is properly
implemented through the management
of things like forestry,
fisheries and waterways.
What do you like to do in
your spare time?
I like walking, I do a bit of
mountain biking on back roads,
and even just going from home
in Diamond Harbour around to
Lyttelton, then catching the ferry
back across. I like going up onto
the Port Hills. I used to do a lot
of tramping, which I haven’t had
much time for recently. I love the
high country in the South Island
like the upper Rakaia, Ashburton
Lakes, Arthur’s Pass and Mt
White. They are extraordinary
AT HOME: Eugenie Sage on the Balmacaan Saddle in Hakatere/
Ashburton Lakes. ​
spaces – that’s what makes my
heart sing. For many, it’s walking
along the beach looking out to
sea. Making sure all kids get the
opportunity to grow up with
nature, that’s what inspired me. I
grew up in Auckland, with three
siblings, and we used to play a lot
in the outdoors.
I think back to summer holidays
at Rotorua Lakes and we
were able to go off early and play
and wouldn’t come back until
dinner at night. For families that
can afford it, there’s still that opportunity.
But there are kids who
haven’t been to the beach in New
Zealand, and that’s a tragedy.
What brought you to
Christchurch?
Family commitments – my
partner Richard was down here.
I also studied at Canterbury
University and in Auckland.
When did you first get into
politics?
I was involved in student
politics at university. I edited
Craccum, the student magazine,
at the University of Auckland. I
got into environmental protesting;
I protested against the first
McDonald’s in New Zealand on
Queen St. I did some work for
the precursor to the Department
of Conservation on the West
Coast.
I was exposed to the destruction
of native forest for logging
– these magnificent rimu forests
near Hokitika. I was just in
tears wandering through these
areas, seeing nature’s cathedral
being utterly trashed. I worked
for Forest and Bird between the
mid-1990s through to 2010 at the
time of the Timberlands beech
logging scheme. A Labour Government
stopped the scheme and
transferred the land to DOC and
it has been invaluable since. It
just showed the power of public
mobilisation to protect our rain
forest.
What are you most proud of?
That and the work for Forest
and Bird using the Resource
Management Act to have
stronger controls on indigenous
vegetation clearance and the
work on tenure reviews.
What were you doing before
you got into politics?
I did a law and history degree
at Auckland, and then studied
journalism at Canterbury University.
The law degree has been
really useful in not being scared
of legislation.
What do you think of Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern?
Jacinda Ardern will be an outstanding
prime minister through
her leadership skills, analytical
skills and her empathy. It’s totally
genuine.
Why did you move to
Diamond Harbour?
When I stood for Environment
Canterbury, I said I would
move in if elected. In 2010, as it
was coming up to elections, the
former Minister for the Environment
Nick Smith and Local
Government Minister Rodney
Hide decided to axe 14 elected
councillors and installed commissioners.
The only time I have
felt welcome in ECan since then
was when the people occupied
the building in September. That’s
a priority, restoring democracy.
What do you like about living
there?
It’s on the base of Mt Herbert,
and being in the harbour you’re
basically looking across to dramatic
cliffs. It’s our volcanic heritage.
And it’s the people in the
community, they support each
other. It’s the same in Lyttelton.
Do you have any pets?
I used to have two cats, but
that was about 10 years ago. Living
in a place with bellbirds and
kereru, I appreciate seeing and
hearing them.

CPC-led China Offers Compass for
Bridging Global Governance Deficit
The Communist Party of China (CPC) has held its most
important meeting in five years to chart the future course of
the country at a time when the world is beset with challenges
and disorder. Globalization has been facing hurdles while
protectionism and populism are rising. Nearly a decade after the
2008 global financial crisis, the world economy is still grappling
with uncertain long-term outlooks. Global confidence in a
strong future growth has yet to find a solid foundation.
of any target to double GDP will ensure the country can focus
on implementing its new development concepts of innovation,
coordination, greening, opening up and inclusiveness. To
restructure its economy for better quality growth, China has
introduced a series of supply-side structural reform measures.
They are reducing excess inventories, cutting overcapacity,
deleveraging, lowering costs for businesses, and streamlining
bureaucracy.
capacity of nations so that they have the fundamentals to
grow their economies. Most of the countries along the Belt
and Road have significant development need -- electricity and
power, transport infrastructure, IT connectivity, etc. -- which
China can contribute greatly to fulfilling. The Belt and Road
Initiative also helps safeguard regional peace. It is one of China’s
tools to help eradicate the root causes of terrorism and other
extremist elements and build a safer world. As Xi has reiterated,
development holds the master key to solving all problems. One
should be counting all the benefits of stability, with less tension,
less crises and less terrorism.
Improving the post-war global financial system is critical to
promoting global justice and balanced development. In this
regard, China has played a pioneering role, pushing for quota
reforms in the International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank.
Against the backdrop of violence in Iraq and Syria, although
Islamic State militants are losing, lone-wolf attacks have emerged
as the new face of terrorism. The age of pervasive social media
has made it unprecedentedly convenient for extremist groups
to recruit, plot and strike. These symptoms all point to a graver
crisis -- the ever widening global deficit in peace, governance
and development.
A Contrasting Map
In contrast, China,
under the leadership
of the CPC, is trying
to map out a road
leading to a better
world by promoting
not only its own
development but
also that of other
countries. The
commitment has
been reiterated in the report Chinese President Xi Jinping
delivered at the opening of the 19th CPC National Congress in
Beijing.
For Xi, one of the top priorities is to ensure a robust growth
of the Chinese economy, which matters to the rest of the
world as well. Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese
economy has expanded much faster than the rest of the world,
partly due to China’s three-step development strategy aiming
to quadruple the 1980 gross national output by the end of the
20th century. China’s economy grew at an average annual rate of
9.8 percent between 1979 and 2012, dwarfing the global growth
of 2.8 percent in the same period. Over the past decade, China
has been widely regarded as a leading economic locomotive
that has, along with other economic powerhouses, pulled a
lackluster global economy up a steep hill. According to data
released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics, China’s average
contribution to global growth from 2013 to 2016 was about 30
percent, the largest among all countries.
Since 2012, the country has shown greater tolerance of lower
growth rates in the pursuit of a better structure, quality and
efficiency. It lowered the annual GDP growth target from 7.5
percent for 2012-2014 to 6.5 percent this year. Average annual
growth between 2013 and 2016 slowed to 7.2 percent, still much
higher than 2.6 percent average global growth and the 4 percent
growth of developing economies.
China’s economy has been transitioning from a phase of rapid
growth to a stage of high-quality development. This shows that
China will prioritize the quality of development rather than
fast economic expansion. The attitude is in line with the central
leadership’s judgment in 2014 that China’s economy had entered
a “new normal”, featuring medium-high growth rather than fast
growth, upgrading of economic structure and innovation.
Stepping into the new era, China’s principal contradiction is
between unbalanced and inadequate development and the
people’s ever-growing needs for a better life, according to Xi’s
report. Although economic growth at certain level will still be
necessary, freeing itself from any speed constraint will make it
easier for China to balance its development goals. No mention
China’s socialist modernization will be “basically realized”
from 2020 to 2035. As Xi mentioned, from 2035 to the middle
of the century, China will become a modern socialist country
that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced,
harmonious and beautiful. With more focus on quality and
efficiency than on speed, China will march toward those goals
and bring about happiness to the people, and rejuvenation for
the Chinese nation.
The past five years have also witnessed China’s persistent drive to
promote social justice and equality by reducing poverty. China
has lifted an average of 13 million people out of poverty every
year since 2012, according to official data. And over the past
four decades, more than 700 million Chinese have been freed
from poverty, accounting for 70 percent of the global efforts in
the same period.
Overseas, China has reached out to the international community
with a set of proposals on how to better maintain global security
and peace and spur development.
Community of Shared Future
In such a highly interdependent world, where the fates of all
nations, big or small, rich or poor, are tightly intertwined, Xi has
proposed that all nations come together to build a community
of shared future for mankind.
The world has seen China significantly increase its contributions
in global economic governance, international peacekeeping,
climate change, global health, energy security and reshaping
multilateral institutions. Even though its per capita income is not
as high as those of advanced nations, China is already providing
the world with public goods such as sending peacekeepers,
fighting piracy, and sending medical missions to really poor
countries to take care of the people who cannot afford to have
good medical treatment.
China’s active participation in global economic cooperation
and support for open and free global trade has benefited itself
and all other countries. Xi’s report called for efforts to make
economic globalization more open, inclusive and balanced so
that its benefits are shared by all. Against the backdrop of rising
protectionism, China remains committed to promoting global
sustainable development, coming up with benefit-sharing
initiatives and offering more public goods to the world.
Xi’s vision led to the Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to
better connect countries and regions that account for more
than 60 percent of the world’s population and 30 percent of the
global gross domestic product, and to strengthen the industrial
This advertorial page is supported by The Chinese Consulate
In the past five years, China has also steadfastly promoted
peaceful and diplomatic means to solve many of the global
crises like the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue. China is a
staunch supporter of the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping
missions and a provider of international humanitarian relief.
It is the top contributor of UN peacekeepers and the secondlargest
contributor to peacekeeping funds.
The world has also witnessed China’s important leadership role
in climate change. China was one of the first to sign the Paris
Agreement, and has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting
global warming after the United States announced its decision
in June to withdraw from the accord. President Xi said in his
report that China has taken a driver’s seat in international
cooperation on climate change and become an important
participant, contributor, and torchbearer in the global endeavor
for ecological civilization. The country more than met its carbon
emission reduction goals last year, and pledged a package of 3.1
billion U.S. dollars to the South-South Cooperation Fund on
Climate Change for developing countries. China, sticking with
this path, makes it more likely that eventually even the United
States will come back to the consensus on climate change.
Xi once said China’s ongoing reforms have sailed into uncharted
“deep waters” where what is left is mostly the hard nuts to crack.
The situation is the same with the rest of the world, if not worse.
Yet that should not be an excuse to turn back or turn against
each other. Rather, it should be the reason for all nations to join
hands and eliminate the deficit in global governance. As many
foreign leaders and observers have pointed out, China has set an
instructive example in this regard. In these turbulent times, the
19th National Congress of the CPC gives a strong message of
unity, cohesion and determination to fight for peace, sustainable
development and the creation of harmonious world societies. If
a world of shared and sustainable prosperity, fair growth and
balanced power is to ever exist, China will have a leading and
indispensable role in it.

New minster builds regeneration relationships
IT’S BEEN great to have hit
the ground running with my
new ministerial portfolios in
Christchurch.
Last week I met with Mayor
Lianne Dalziel and Government
officials working in the
regeneration effort, which is
helping build a good picture of
where the work is at and what we
can do to get things moving.
The relationship with the
mayors and councils is very
important to me, as it’s crucial
we are working in the same
direction for the good of the city,
and the region.
Briefings from the officials
working in the regeneration
space have helped give me
a better sense of where the
individual projects are at. I’m
very keen to look at how we
can make more progress in the
central city and in other key
areas like the red zone.
That includes how we can
help those still struggling with
insurance claims several years
after the earthquakes, and relooking
at anchor projects that
have stalled like the Convention
Centre precinct and the Metro
Sports Facility.
It was also great to see my
colleagues, Prime Minister
Jacinda Ardern and Health
Minister David Clark visiting
Christchurch last week.
Our Government has got
the backs of the people of
Christchurch. While the
previous Government took its
eye off the ball when it came to
the city, the regeneration will be
a true priority for the Labour-led
Government I am part of.
Jacinda gave some great
support to the pupils at Hornby
High School during their
exams, while David visited the
Canterbury District Health
Board to start to rebuild a
relationship that has suffered
though lack of investment to
support Cantabrians.
The progress that has been
made in greater Christchurch
so far has been down to the
hard work of the people, and
they deserve a lot of credit for
it. I appreciate that some of the
issues still facing the region
are complex, but I’m up for the
challenge.
With everyone working
together, I’m looking forward to
achieving some great things for
greater Christchurch.
•Megan Woods is the Minister
of Greater Christchurch
Regeneration
Less than a month after
the Captain Robert Falcon
Scott statue was reinstalled,
vandals snapped
off his walking pole
Betty Campion – What is
wrong with these people who do
this? What pleasure do they get
out of it? They need putting in
stocks in the square and let people
throw rotten food at them.
Bev Collins – Mindless
vandalism, this is the new generation
we are bringing into this
world. No respect for anything
or anyone, must have lovely
parents, not.
Jan Driscoll – We really do
have some delightful people in
Christchurch who take delight
in spoiling things for most of us.
Shame.
David Simons – Even if
they caught who did it, nothing
would happen to them.
Jan Lowe – I find it very sad
as it’s been a long road for all of
us living in Christchurch trying
to rebuild and when something
is destroyed out of malice it’s
heart-breaking.
BUNNIES: NZTA is looking at options to deal with the rabbits
on the Anzac Drive, New Brighton and Travis Rds roundabouts.
Maggie Mariner – I feel so
sad to hear this. Getting part of
our heritage restored was so important.
Pity that vandals have
no respect.
Barbara Moseley – Wonder
if the scum who do the likes of
this mindless vandalism ever
read these comments of what
decent people think of their actions?
Probably can’t read.
Kevin N Anette
Sunderland – Find them,
get the pole and whack their
backsides. In public.
Graeme Brown – I bet the
morons that did this do not even
know who he was.
Pauline Handley – Send
the offenders to Antarctica for a
season and put them to work out
in the freezing terrain then they
might understand what Scott
had that pole for.
Carrie-ann Heigold – Why
do people do this . . . so disrespectful!
Rabbits on the Anzac
Drive, New Brighton and
Travis Rds roundabouts
could be culled or caught
and released elsewhere
Carolyn Neame – The
rabbits aren’t doing anything
wrong, it’s the meatheads who
act like they’ve never seen one
before that are the problem. Cull
them instead.
Lexine Harpur – These rabbits
have been there for years.
There was never a problem prior
to recent publicising of their
existence on the island. I pass
this roundabout on a regular
basis, at no time have I ever seen
“20 black rabbits”. This is down
to media hype and foolish people
who should know better. Don’t
make the rabbits suffer for human
error.
Lisa Murray – Considering
Environment Canterbury has requested
a release of a new strain
of calicivirus to kill wild rabbits,
I dare say they won’t be catching
and releasing these ones.
Barbara White – Sorry,
they’re rabbits. In NZ they’re a
pest . . . If you want rabbits get
some and put them in a cage
in your backyard. These are no
different to the brown ones out
in the fields. Cute, but like the
broom flower – pretty but noxious
all the same. Sorry rabbit
lovers but it’s true.
Kate Alexander – Shouldn’t
the roundabout be removed and
traffic lights put in here before
the high schools start up at QE II
anyway? I like the rabbits but it
would be much safer for all.
Fiona Lean – Leave the
bunnies alone. What about the
pukeko and other birds around
that area that walk over the road?
And yes, the two young kids that
were over on the island yesterday
afternoon at 4.30pm were more
dangerous.
Ailsa Allam – Another little
bit of joy gets taken away. I saw a
cat on the roundabout the other
night. Leave the rabbits alone
they are not hurting anybody.
Kathryn Macgregor – That
rabbit is black, correct me if
I’m wrong, but wild rabbits
aren’t black. Breed ones are like
standard rex etc. Before you cull
make sure you know what breed
it is, somebody’s pet may have
got lost.
Carolyn Fraser – They are
probably there because some
stupid people dumped their
unwanted pets or they may
have come from the red zone.
Relocate.

Cup and Show Week
Guide to racing, agriculture and fashion
With Cup and Show Week just days away,
Sarla Donovan outlines what’s ahead
IT’S THE week where the
country comes to town – and it
all starts this weekend.
The annual New Zealand
Cup and Show Week returns to
Christchurch on Saturday, with
a week of racing, agriculture and
fashion.
The event attracts about
200,000 people every year, and
injects $30 million into the local
economy.
New Zealand Cup and Show
Week begins with Guineas Day
at Riccarton Park on Saturday.
The Al Basti Equiworld New
Zealand 2000 Guineas Day will
see the best three-year-olds race
in the first of two two guineas
races over the carnival.
That’s followed on Tuesday by
the Christchurch Casino New
Zealand Trotting Cup Day at
Addington – a spectacle of fashion,
food and racing.
Musician Mitch James will be
playing on the Lindauer Lawn
Rooftop, while fashionistas compete
for the coveted Best Dressed
Man and Woman titles.
This is also the day when the
country’s top body artists show
off their creativity in the ZM
Body Art competition – always a
crowd favourite.
With the city’s hospitality
sector starting to find its feet
this year, general manager
attractions at ChristchurchNZ
Linda Falwasser is envisaging
people will find their way into
the central city for post-racing
festivities.
“The central city has fantastic
new bars and restaurants
opening almost weekly, so it’s
great to have the city heart
beating again.”
Wednesday is ‘Ladies Day’
at Riccarton Park, combining
fabulous fashion with the races.
The three-day Canterbury A &
P Show also opens its gates from
8am on Wednesday, delighting
young and old with annual
rituals like wood-chopping, dog
trials, sheep shearing and the
fabulous grand parade on Friday.
The annual agricultural show
has been held every year since
1862; the first ever show took
place in a paddock near Latimer
Square.
Since making Canterbury
Agricultural Park its home 10
years ago, more than a million

Day is just one of the many events planned as part of New
Zealand Cup and Show Week.
visitors have streamed through
the gates.
Ms Falwasser said the
gumboot-throwing competition
on Friday is a must see, along
with the performance from
award-winning local artist,
Ladi6.
“It’s awesome that Ladi6
is playing on her home turf,
amongst her own community,”
Ms Falwasser said.
Friday, November 17, is the
province’s Anniversary Day
when thousands of Cantabrians
take the opportunity to attend
the A & P Show or pack a picnic
and relax under the trees at
Addington’s Show Day races.
The week’s events round off on
Saturday with the Christchurch
Casino New Zealand Cup and
gravelhouse.com 1000 Guineas
Day at Riccarton Raceway.
What you need to know:
•The MetService long range
weather forecast is for light
winds, some cloudy periods
and a high of 16 for the
opening day on Saturday.
From Tuesday onwards, it is
predicting sunny skies and
highs of around 20 deg C.
•To make the most of Cup
and Show Week, organisers
are advising you to be
prepared. Take an umbrella,
some sunscreen and pack
an extra layer of clothing –
just in case.
•Temporary alcohol bans
will be in place around
Addington Raceway on
Tuesday, November 14, from
9am-10pm, and around
Riccarton Racecourse from

Fashion in the Field will also
be a highlight. The day’s fashion
activities will be co-ordinated by
stylist Angela Stone.
“Race day attire is all about
style, sophistication, glamour
and elegance and this is reflected
in the fashion. This is the day to
dress in your finery.”

Big Saturday of Highland Games
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THE HORORATA Highland
Games will be held on one
of the most important days
commemorated in modern
history – Armistice Day.
The games, known as one
of the largest Scottish festivals
to take place in the Southern
Hemisphere, will be held at the
Hororata Domain on Saturday.
Event manager Cindy Driscoll
said the Hororata Community
Trust felt strongly about acknowledging
Armistice Day.
She said a lot of people do not
know about its importance and
the games offer a good platform
for people to learn more about it.
“In New Zealand, we put a lot
of focus on Anzac Day and the
other significant events all get
wrapped into that,” Mrs Driscoll
said.
Armistice Day is commemorated
each year to mark the end
of World War 1.
After four years, the war came
to an end with the signing of the
armistice between Germany and
the Allied Powers on November
11, 1918.
On the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh
month, the guns fell silent.
The opening of the Hororata
Highland Games has been
brought forward with a remembrance
of the day to be held
before the chieftain’s welcoming
ceremony.
It is to be led by the Hororata-
Malvern branch of the Christchurch
RSA with a bugler playing
the Last Post.
More than 60 children from
Hororata, Glentunnel, Sheffield,
Springfield and Kirwee primary
schools will perform a kapa haka
as part of the ceremony.
Selwyn MP Amy Adams has
been named chieftain for the
games.
Ms Adams will be the first
woman chieftain.
The event was created in 2011
from the community’s desire
to take charge of its own future
following the devastation suffered
during the Canterbury
earthquakes.
This year marks the seventh
annual running of the event.
It attracts more than 500

competitors who will compete
in highland dancing, piping and
drumming, tug of war, highland
spin, small bore shooting,
amateur heavy athletics and the
Oceania heavyweight championship.
Mrs Driscoll said pre-sales for
the games are well up on previous
years, competition numbers
are at capacity and more than
200 volunteers will be involved.
A record crowd of 10,000 attended
the games last year.

QUESTION
My garden has a hedge of olive trees. Last year I harvested some of the olive fruits and processed them.
They were tasty but very small. What can I do to make the olive fruit fleshier?
Today’s winning question came from Maree. Congratulations!
ANSWER
In a perfect olive season (e.g early rainfall followed by a hot,
dry, late summer then an early autumn), it is possible your
olives may be marginally larger. But the answer to the size
of olives lies in the selection of a particular variety. If your olives fruit
heavily and regularly, then do retain the existing trees regardless
of the size of the fruit. Not all olive varieties crop well in differing
parts of New Zealand. Therefore, there is no guarantee that
known larger fruiting olive varieties will produce heavy crops in
your area anyway. Talk to other olive growers in your local area
and/or experiment with a few additional trees of other varieties.
Remember, fertilising your trees will not produce larger fruit,
rather an enormous amount of vegetative growth.

Hedging your bets
• By Sue Witteman
I HAVE many favourite things, but
near the top of my list would be the
hedge.
It is one of the most useful
horticultural things you can plant
for not only does it divide your
garden neatly, it also provides
sanctuary for bird and beast, acts
as a windbreak, provides privacy,
produces fruit, flower or foliage
for floral work, and adds a colour
dollop of green, red, grey or purple
to your landscape.
I have, however, often noticed
an initial reluctance to the idea of
having hedges as there is the belief
they are a huge amount of work.
True you have to plant them, and
true you have to look after them, as
you do with any plant, but they give
back so much more than they ask
of you.
Apart from trees, they are the
most important structural element
you can have in your garden and
they just grow better with time,
adding an elegance that is hard to
achieve any other way.
Begin with ground preparation.
As is often the case with gardening,
it’s the effort you put into the
‘unseen’ that can make all the
difference to the final outcome. To
avoid losing money on a sad little
hedge that never got going, set
aside a realistic amount of time to
do it – then double how long you
think it will take. By doing this
you minimise the taking of short
cuts and the building of possible
resentment.
Sort out where the hedge is going
to go – use string lines or dazzle to
get this right – and spray the area
if needed (you may have to do this
more than once). It really pays to
get the soil as weed-free as possible,
particularly in the case of perennial
weeds, as the hedge is going to
be there for a long time and it
gets progressively harder to weed
amongst it. And then start digging.
INTRICATE: Layers of escallonia and buxus hedging
add structure to a formal area. The cones are variegated
buxus.

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE
GRILLED BUTTERFLIED
WHOLE CHICKEN
Ingredients
1 whole butterflied chicken
1 to taste salt & freshly ground
pepper
Barbecue sauce
Directions
Preheat grill to medium. Get
surface temperature to about 200
deg C. Clean and oil well. Clean
the chicken if you desire and pat
dry.
Cut the backbone out of the
chicken with sharp kitchen
scissors. You could use a knife,
but the scissors are much safer
and work great.
With a large knife, give the
breastbone a large nick in the
front of the chicken to help the
bird lay flat.
Rinse the inside of the bird out,
trim any loose fat and extra skin.
Pat dry again. Give the bird a
good sprinkle of salt and pepper.
You could use any seasoning you
want here.
Place skin down on the grill.
Flip after you get a nice browning
on the skin after about 12-15min.
Give the chicken a good
brushing of barbecue sauce.
Grill another 3-4min until
the sauce is browning well.
Total grilling on the second side
should take 20-25min.
Let set for 5 minutes then cut
and serve.

AVOCADO SALSA
Ingredients
2 bunches Asparagus
1 Avocado
1 Lemon
1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 Pepper
1⅓ cups Dried cranberries
½ cup Walnuts
¼ cup Parsley
1 to taste Salt & freshly ground
pepper
Directions
To make the salsa, combine
avocado, juice of the lemon, oil,
diced pepper (yellow), dried
cranberries, walnuts (toasted)
and parsley.
Season with salt and pepper
and toss well.
Cook asparagus in plenty of
boiling, salted water for 2min or
until just tender to the bite.

Theatre/Arts
Cirkopolis more than just a circus
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
CIRKOPOLIS, the theatrical
circus show taking the world by
storm, is to make its New Zealand
debut at the Isaac Theatre Royal
next week.
Canadian-based troupe Cirque
Éloize has stepped away from its
traditional roots of pure circus
to blend a dazzling mixture of
theatre and dance into its highlyacclaimed
show.
Set in a dull metropolis-themed
factory, small glimpses of colour
slowly begin to seep through as
artists break away from monotony
before the show bursts into a
sparkling party. The first artist to
expose a flash of colour is Rosita
Hendry when she removes her
grey coat revealing a red dress.
“Gradually. we see a glimpse of
colour and by the end of the show
everybody is completely broken
out of this structured world . . .
it is quite fun to have that transition,”
she said.
Audiences will see Hendry, 27,
perform one of her specialities –
the cyr wheel.
The only Kiwi artist to perform
in the show, she grew up in Auckland
and is the eldest of seven
children.
Hendry describes the cast as
“like a little family”; a multicultural
one with performers from
countries including Canada,
England and Japan.
“We have a common language
and we all know circus,” she said.
Hendry said she had not come
across a lot of Kiwis in her time
travelling overseas and she is
fortunate to have made it where
she is.
The tour of Cirkopolis has already
taken her around the world
to Paris, London, Australia and
Germany.
Training to become a performer
has been a lifelong process
for Hendry who first started gymnastics
when she was four before
moving into dance and music.
Following her schooling, she
moved to Australia to train at
DAZZLING:
The magic of
Cirkopolis will
be brought
to life at the
Isaac Theatre
Royal from
Tuesday to
Sunday.
the National Institute of Circus
Arts where she graduated with a
Diploma in Circus Arts.
She then moved to Canada to
train at Ecole Nationale de Cirque
where she graduated earlier this
year as a specialist in aerial rope
with a minor in cyr wheel.
Hendry said she is excited to
travel to Christchurch, having
only been here a few times for
gymnastics competitions.
She said she is hoping to run
workshops for the circus community
while she is here as a way of
giving back to the friends she had
made in the city.

Tuesday to Sunday at the

Fire rages, homes at risk
Actress opens up about eating disorder
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
JANE LEONARD was 13-yearsold
when she first started
comparing her body weight to
girls her own age.
Trained in ballet from a young
age, she was startled to notice her
body maturing earlier than the
other dancers in her class.
“Ballet, as you know, you want
to be slim and tiny . . . I was
always struggling with the fact
I was a lot bigger than the other
girls. I think that may have triggered
something in my mind,”
she said.
The Riccarton resident, now
24, would often find herself looking
in the mirror only to see a
magnified, large version staring
back.
Before long, Leonard’s body
dysmorphia escalated and she
found herself diagnosed with
bulimia – a serious eating disorder
characterised by binge eating
followed by purging.
A long journey of intuitive
eating saw Leonard clinically
overcome her battle by the age
of 16.
But now Leonard, an emerging
performer in the city’s theatre
scene, is sharing her story in a
bid to make others aware they
are not alone in their struggle
with eating disorders.
Leonard’s blog, Haere Mai Apple
Pie, details her journey and
how she overcame her eating
disorder.
In a metaphoric style,
Leonard describes her
own mind as a busy
household filled
with characters
including
depression
– Dee-Dee
for short
– Happy
Happiness,
and Evelyn
Eating Disorder.
In Leonard’s
story, Evelyn appears
as a beautiful and
perfect individual
looking to rent.
But following
her move into
the metaphoric
household,
she negatively
changes its
character
before
Leonard kicks
her out.
Leonard
said there

be a platform where it was okay
to talk about mental health,
particularly for performing
artists.
“All mental disorders
are really common
among
performing artists,
but especially
in musical theatre . .
. that kind of cookiecutter,
fairy
tale image, that is often
what an audience member
wants to see. They
want to see perfection,”
she said.
Leonard
feels strongly
about letting
young girls
know it is
okay to be a
performer
and have
curves and
muscles.
Since posting
her blog, Leonard said she’s
had a positive response and has
inspired others to share their
own mental health journeys.
While her career in the arts
has been emotionally and financially
stressful, Leonard said
she has been blessed with the

helping others battle eating
disorders.
opportunities she’s had. “I am
grateful for all the stuff I have
been through because I wouldn’t
be the same if it hadn’t been for
my experiences,” she said.
Leonard will star in the alternating
role of Elphaba in Showbiz
Christchurch’s production of
Wicked in March.
She will also feature in the ensemble
and play the understudy
role of Velma Kelly in The Court
Theatre’s production of Chicago.
For the past year, Leonard has
featured as the face of the promo
images for the show.
“That is also a bit like body
confidence – I am on a poster in
lingerie,” she said.

O Canada – taking in the capital city
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Mike Yardley
I’VE JUST enjoyed my first foray
to Ottawa, Canada, which like
all great capitals, is a weddingcake
city, studded with trafficstopping
statement architecture
and grand patriotic confections.
But don’t assume Ottawa
groans under the stuffy weight
of bureaucracy. She’s incredibly
photogenic, carpeted in green
spaces, with a gregarious spirit.
Interestingly, Queen Victoria
chose Ottawa to be the national
capital, a geographic compromise
to neutralise the competing
rivalries of Montreal and
Toronto for top-dog status.
The inner-core of Ottawa
boasts some strikingly distinctive
neighbourhoods, like Wellington
West, a foodie favourite
crammed with cafes, bakeries
and specialty stores like Emulsify,
where you’ll find more olive
oils and balsamic vinegars than
you can throw a salad at. The
Glebe is another extra-lively
pocket of Ottawa with some signature
specialty stores, like the
24 Hour Bagel Shop.
But your first port of call
should be Justin Trudeau’s joint,
Parliament Hill. The centrepiece
is the gargantuan gothic-revival
building called Centre Block.
This 1865 masterpiece is a showstopper,
with gargoyles, coppertopped
turrets and sweeping
archways. The interior is equally
lavish in a Harry Potter kind of
way.
At the heart of the building is
the soaring Peace Tower. You can
see Canada’s prime minister in
action every day when Parliament
is sitting in the House of
Commons at question time.
Admission is on a first-come,
first-served basis, as are the free
guided tours. You’ll need a ticket
for the tours, which are distributed
across the street from the
Hill Centre daily from 9am. Plus
after dark, the sprawling façade
of Centre Block transforms into
a trippy canvas for the nightly
sound-and-light show, trumpeting
pure Canadian pride.
Like all good capitals, Ottawa
is awash with museums, many
of which are free to enter in
birthday year. If you’re an Arctic
buff, don’t miss the new Canada
Goose Arctic Gallery at the
Museum of Nature. Two cores of
real permafrost are included in
this substantial showcase of the
Arctic region, its diversity and
undeniable global importance.
Shop and nosh at Byward Market,
the city’s venerable mercantile
mecca, founded in the early
19th century. Hello maple syrup!
The market also boasts some
old-school cafes and bakeries,
including Boulangerie Moulin de
Provence. Groaning with sugary
and savoury delights, the bakery
was a hit with President Obama
when he popped in several years
ago. In his honour, an entire
bay is dedicated to the Obama
cookies, which are a perennial
hot-seller.
But, when in Ottawa, sweet
treats don’t get any better than
downing a Beaver Tail. This
signature dish is a sizzling slab
of fried dough, slathered in
decadent toppings like gooey
chocolate and cinnamon. They’re
sinfully good.
I’m a walkover for historic
hotels and Ottawa boasts a star
specimen. The Chateau Laurier
is the toast of the town, built
in French-gothic chateau style
by the Grand Trunk Railway
Company at the dawn of rail’s
golden age more than a century
ago. The hotel was scheduled
to open to much fanfare in late
April, 1912, but the railway boss,
Charles Melville, died on the
Titanic en-route to the grand

opening. He never got to see the
completed masterpiece he had
commissioned. Chateau Laurier
overlooks the Ottawa Locks, a
sequence of steep, step-like locks
that mark the northern end of
the 200km-long Rideau Canal.
Completed in 1832, it’s the oldest
continuously used canal in
North America. Today, it’s a watery
recreational paradise, which
also doubles as the world’s largest
ice-skating rink. Come winter,
8km of the canal is transformed
into a groomed ice rink, roughly
the size of nearly 100 Olympicsized
ice hockey rinks.
A quirky Ottawa diversion is
the vast underground nuclear
bunker. Built during the Cold
War, this subterranean chamber,
spanning four floors, was designed
to house the government
brass in the event of an attack. It
could accommodate 300 people,
alongside a fully functional
radio studio and the Bank of
Canada vault. Now transformed
into a Cold War museum, you
can wander through the facility,
which is packed with chilling
insights into just how grave the
risk of apocalypse was perceived
by Canadian officials. Wherever
you choose to stay in Ottawa, I
locked in my accommodation
through Hotels.com, which was
fast, efficient and packed with
great deals. Hotels.com Rewards

GETTING THERE:
•I booked my domestic
flights in Canada through an
award-winning travel search
engine, Skyscanner New
Zealand (skyscanner.co.nz).
It’s a fast and trustworthy
way to find cheap flights. The
more than 60 million global
travellers using Skyscanner
each month can’t be wrong.
It compares hundreds of
airlines across millions of
routes and is an excellent way
to score the best available
deals, no matter where you
want to go. Skyscanner also
has price-saving features like
‘Price Alerts’ which notify you
when the airfares increase or
decrease. What I particularly
like about Skyscanner is that
when I found the flights I
wanted and clicked to book,
Skyscanner links you directly
to the airline or travel agent
so there’s no hidden charges
or fees. In addition to sharppriced
flights, Skyscanner also
offers accommodation and
vehicle hire deals too. www.
skyscanner.co.nz
gives you one free night after
10 nights booked – which you
can bank for future holidays.
Rewards members and mobile
app users also enjoy exclusive
access to secret prices. I found
the Hotels.com mobile app to be
a simple, fast and secure way to
book your perfect hotel, on the
go.

Since using the Aircycle the swelling
in my legs and feet have decreased

further without pain.”- Richard UK.

World
Diabetes
Day
Tuesday, 14 November
Diabetes is the largest and fastest
growing chronic condition in New
Zealand. 1 Over 240,000 people have been
diagnosed with diabetes in New Zealand
and it is thought there are another
100,000 people with diabetes who are
unaware they have the disease. 1
These figures along with this year’s
World Diabetes Day focus on women
provide a timely reminder for healthcare
professionals to come together and
ensure all patients especially women at
risk of diabetes or living with diabetes
have access to the necessary medicines
and technologies, education and
information to improve their outcomes in
treatment.
Proper injection technique is an
often-forgotten part of the overall
care for people needing to inject their
diabetes medication. To further support
healthcare professionals to work more
closely with their local networks and
improve the management of diabetes
with women, BD has developed a range
of materials detailing the Golden Rules
of Injection Technique to facilitate
discussions with patients on correct
injection technique, including the use of
short 4mm (or 5mm) pen needles. 2
This World Diabetes Day, BD is urging
all healthcare professionals to keep up-todate
with their knowledge and training in
order to provide the best possible care to
those living with diabetes.

The 5 Golden Rules
of injection technique for
people with diabetes
Findings from a worldwide survey on
injection technique reveal that a vast
majority of people reliant on injectable
diabetes medication are not injecting
their medication correctly. 1
The survey was conducted among 13,289
self-injecting people participating from
42 countries. 1 The results were reviewed
and analysed by over 180 diabetes
experts from 54 countries, resulting
in the ‘Golden Rules of Injection
Technique’ being published. These
Golden Rules have been developed to
help people better manage their diabetes,
in consultation with their healthcare
professional. 1
This Diabetes Awareness Month, BD - a
global medical technology company
that is advancing the world of health by
improving medical discovery, diagnostics
and the delivery of care - is highlighting
correct injection technique is just as
$39 90 critical in diabetes care as a person’s
diabetes medication, nutrition and
physical activity.
Here are the 5 Golden Rules developed
by health care professionals to help
people better manage their diabetes and
improve their treatment outcomes: 1
1. Always inject medication into the
healthy fatty layer under your skin,
avoiding the muscle 1
2. 4mm pen needles, inserted at 90
degrees are recommended for all
adults and children 1
3. Inject diabetes medication into areas
on the abdomen, thighs and buttocks 1
4. Check injection sites for lumps and
bumps, and avoid using these areas as
injection sites 1
5. Rotate injection sites correctly. 2
Always consult your healthcare
professional regarding treatment of your
Diabetes.

(free-parking provided on-site), near the main hospital campus.
Clinical Professor of Medicine, Russell Scott, an internationallyrenowned
Diabetes and Cholesterol Specialist leads our team of 12
research-trained Doctors, Nurses, Coordinators, Laboratory, and
Administrative staff.
Our research focuses primarily on medicines that are being
developed. Traditionally our emphasis has been cholesterol and diabetic
health, however our extensive experience has enabled us to expand
into other areas of health which are also of current National and
International importance. These include: obesity, heart failure, elderly
health, coronary artery disease, kidney failure, and vaccines.
Although early-stage studies are often less than 3 months, the larger
global studies can run for 5-8 years, providing valuable information
about long-term health effects and safety.
Study participants undergo health check-ups before entering a study,
and are monitored throughout their participation. We communicate
with other health providers about their patient’s involvement in our
studies.

Wool it for
vulnerable feet
The Wool-it story began in 2012 when
the prospect of a reasonably impromptu
680km walk across the Camino in Spain
was looking like it had potential to be
a month long ‘blister-fest’ for the feet.
Determined to avoid the fate of so many
whose experience is ruined by painful
blisters , Katey Lane discovered that
natural wool wrapped around hotspots
and vulnerable areas would offer the
protection needed to avoid damaged feet.
The benefits of Wool-it became
apparent very quickly as day after
day Katey and her walking partner
encountered Camino pilgrims with
‘broken feet’ - painful blisters, open sores
and pressure areas, while they carried on
without a blister between them.
Noticing a growing interest in blister
prevention from a number of different
sectors, Katey took her brand ‘Wool-it’
to the market. The first sales trip started
in Queenstown where two retailers
purchased the entire stock on Day 1.
Within two weeks there were 50 South
Island retailers on board as pharmacies,
sports shops, outdoor centres, trekking
guides and podiatrists started to embrace
the simplicity and effectiveness of Wool-it.
The healthcare market is steadily
growing with particular interest from
those whose feet are most at risk such as
diabetics, EB sufferers and the elderly. A
lot of pain and suffering can be avoided
by placing Wool-it in strategic locations
where you know you are likely to have a
problem. In a number of instances, Woolit
has enabled clients to participate in
sports and activities that would otherwise
have risked damage to feet.
Podiatrists like the concept of 100%
natural wool being so light, providing a
cushion from pressure on already injured
feet/toes and the means to prevent further
damage. Wool-it also breathes around the
skin while absorbing moisture.
Wool-it doesn’t need scissors or
adhesives. Simply aerate the wool and
place around the hotspot or pack Wool-it
in-between toes, once it felts into your
sock, it stays there until you remove it!
Clients are delighted to tell us how
Wool-it has saved the day on long walks,
playing sport or breaking in new shoes.
“I purchased some wool back in March
as I was taking part in the Oxfam Trail
Walker NZ (I did the 100km walk).
Your wool was a life/foot saver. I used it
for about 90% of the walk and I couldn’t
have finished the walk without it. The wool
made my feet comfortable and they did not
over heat. During at the end of the walk I
only had one blister (where there was no
wool on my feet) and my feet were in pretty
good condition.
I would highly recommend the wool to
anyone participating in the Oxfam Trail
Walk or going on a multi-day hike. My only
regret is that I didn’t have another bag!
Thank you so much!” - Claire B. Auckland
“Recently I purchased your Wool IT
product. It is the most amazing product.
I wish I had known about it when I
competed in the Round Rarotonga 31km
walking race. The feeling is like nothing
I’ve ever experienced before. I’m so glad I
found your product and will be definitely
be purchasing again. Thank you also for the
personal note with my delivery. I felt like
a valued customer not just another order.
Thanks” - Elissa, Christchurch

CHRISTCHURCH GREYHOUNDS
Two Kennel NZ Cup Heat Domination
It was the Dave and Jean
Fahey plus Craig Roberts
show at the Addington
Raceway on Thursday
evening, as between them
they trained four of the five
Christchurch Casino New
Zealand Cup heat winners.
They also had a liberal
sprinkling of heat minor
placings.
It was a mixed bag
of heat results, which
with a couple of notable
exceptions, saw the bulk
of the favoured contenders
making it through to the
next Wednesday’s semifinal
rounds. Actually
owing to a couple of the
NZ Cup prelude qualifiers
filling qualifying positions, plus the stand
down of a qualifier, meant the first six
greyhounds in each heat (one is a reserve)
all advanced.
The very smart Avenger Bale for Craig
Roberts was warmly supported to take out
the first heat and he duly obliged, although
he was given a bit of an early shake up by
his kennelmate Letron James who pinged
straight into the race lead.
Avenger Bale railed underneath Letron
James on the home turn to comfortably
claim the heat in 30.16s by a 4.25 length
margin. Letron James bravely held onto
second a nose in front of the strong
finishing Dave and Jean Fahey prepared
Shreddin’.
TAB Favourite for the Christchurch Casino New
Zealand Cup Avenger Bale with trainer Craig Roberts
The leading trio was followed in by Hard
Questions (Gary Cleeve), Opawa Cheviot
(Steve and Bonnie Evans) and Epic
Dream (Ray Adcock). The seventh placed
runner in this heat, Opawa Bard (Fahey’s),
becomes the first reserve for all four semifinals.
Avenger Bale’s litter and kennelmate
Allen Ablett was just as warmly supported
to win the second heat however he was
out jumped from the traps by Fair Pippa
from the Fahey kennels. This pair then
embarked on drag race for the entire 520m
trip. It was Fair Pippa who used her known
strength to prevail in 30.33 shading Allen
Ablett by a three quarter length margin.
The Auckland Cup title holder He’s All
Power (Fahey’s) was the next to arrive
a further two lengths astern. Coming
in after him was Sader Nation (Cleeve),
Penalty Bale (Roberts) and Opawa Norris
(Robin Wales).
The Fahey’s struck again in the third
heat when they produced the multiple
Group race winner Opawa Shackley fresh
up to deliver a spectacular freewheeling
30.46s victory after jumping from trap five.
It sure was great to see her back on the
track doing what she does best – winning
races. It was also great see the bold return
to the races by Tom Tee for Adcock. He
has had his recent issues and he would
have derived immense benefit from his
outing when finishing 3.5 lengths behind
Opawa Shackley. Rover Bale (Roberts) was
next home, three quarters of length behind
although unfortunately he won’t return
after he copped a stand down. Filling the
remaining qualifying positions from this
heat was Cactus Jack (Fahey’s), Nozzno
Fear (Ashley Bradshaw) and Runway Bono
(Fahey’s).
Robin Wales broke up the two kennel
domination when he produced Opawa
Jimbo to deliver a bold pace making 30.26s
win in the fourth NZ Cup heat. The $36.20
shot jumped smartly from trap eight
which set up his victory. Closing stylishly
on him late was Allen Hadrian for Roberts
and he was gallant when going under by a
three quarter length margin.
Boldly stalking the leading pair
throughout was Crotty for Ashley
Bradshaw and he was rewarded with his
third placing a further six lengths back.
Arriving in behind them was Quistis
Bale (Roberts) then Must Be Rusty (John
McInerney) and sixth placed Mazu
(Fahey’s).
There was a real sensation in this heat
where the defending NZ Cup title holder
American Warrior (Fahey’s) was severely
checked on numerous occasions, which
unfortunately saw him exiting from this
year’s edition.
The fireworks really ignited in the fifth
and final NZ Cup heat. Ride Ain’t Over
(Roberts) and Shantui (Fahey’s) drew
the inside two traps – both have shown
a preference for racing wider out on the
track. So much for that theory - this pair
of classy chasers came away from the traps
fairly humming and they dictated terms
to their heat rivals with a display of sheer
power chasing.
It was all about Ride Ain’t Over as he
drew clear to deliver his potent 29.95s
heat win. Shantui maintained his strong
gallop arriving home five lengths behind
while it was his kennelmate Opawa Timo
who extended nicely during the run home
to wind up just three quarters of a length
back in third.
Filling the remaining qualifying
positions from the final heat was Harry
Fields (Adcock), Panel Beater (Fahey’s)
and Helski Bale (Roberts). Joining all of
those qualifiers from the heats in the semis
are another four greyhounds who were
exempted from the heats owing to their
recent NZ Cup Prelude placings. Dirk Bale
(Roberts), Cosmic Odette (McInerney),
Nature’s Gent (Angela Turnwald) and
Cristiane Cyborg (Hayley Mullane) will be
lining up in those semis on Wednesday.

five computerised scanners,” Nick says.
These days they are servicing hybrid and
even full electric vehicles as well, he says.
Servicing and re-gassing air-conditioning
systems is a specialty at Beach Road Tyre &
Auto Centre, while, as the name suggests,
tyres are a key part of the business. They
carry a huge range of tyres for all makes
and models of cars, including four-wheel
drives, and also do wheel alignments,
which ensure tyres last longer and save fuel.
“If you want it right, see us,” Nick says.
Now that later-model vehicles require
a WOF once every 12 months rather than
every six months, it is important for drivers
to keep an eye on their tyres for wear in
between warrants and have them replaced
if they are getting worn, Nick says.
“We are seeing a lot of very dangerous
tyres, so if you’re unsure how to check them
call in and see us.”
From WOFs to full servicing, and
everything in between, the experienced
team at Beach Road Tyre & Auto does it all.
And as Nick says: “If you’re happy with our
service tell others. If you’re not tell us. We
want to look after our customers.”

Mazda CX-3 refresh
adds to appeal
• By Ross Kiddie
WHEN MAZDA launched
its small sport utility vehicle
in New Zealand in
2015, a fellow motoring
writer and I agreed the
CX-3 was one of the most
significant cars to enter the
market here.
We also both agreed it
was of the most enjoyable
drives of the time.
As history as served to
prove, the CX-3 hasn’t won
the New Zealand Motoring
Writers’ Car of the Year
Award, but to my way of
thinking I can’t understand
why not.
The CX-3 is a seriously
good piece of kit, it stands
out in every area, all combining
to produce a pleasurable
driving experience.
Bang on cue, Mazda
has given it a facelift and
upgrade, and the new
model has got an even
greater grasp on me, I simply
in love the CX-3.
Sure, it isn’t big, but it
is an adequate five-seater
and it is functional. The
rear load space allows for
up to 231-litres of cargo
(1141-litres with the rear
seats folded flat), and even
though the rear seating
area has copped some
criticism for lack of space,
I firmly believe if you are a
young family with a couple
of youngsters in tow, it is
still vastly capable.
The CX-3 has just undergone
a fairly major cosmetic
refresh, most of the
changes are incorporated
into the interior and that
makes you even more at
ease once you are in the
driver’s seat.
There is also the addition
of more functions in the
i-Activesense suite of safety
gear, G-Vectoring control
has been included which
monitors the driver’s steering
and throttle inputs to
promote a safer ride and
greater handling benefits. It
also incorporates emergency
avoidance functions.
The CX-3 also gets
a re-calibration of the
power steering system and
improvements in noise,
vibration and harshness
within the ride.
Together, the changes
make the CX-3 an even
better car without disturbing
the concept which
appeals so much to me,
and my colleague.
There’s also been a realignment
of models; sadly
the fabulous 2-litre diesel
has been dropped, so all
models now are petrol
powered. There’s a GLX,
MAZDA CX-3: Facelift and upgrade for popular SUV.
GSX and GSX with leather
and, as in the test car’s case,
a Limited model which
tops the range at $40,195.
The entry-level model is
listed and $31,395 while,
interestingly, there’s a GSX
model with four-wheeldrive
which comes in at
$37,295.
The range-topper
wouldn’t be the car for me
but I would be tempted by
the non-leather GSX, and
it doesn’t miss out on much
in terms of specification.
• Price – Mazda CX-3
Ltd, $40,195
• Dimensions –
Length, 4275mm;
width, 1765mm;
height, 1535mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1998cc,
109kW, 192Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9sec
• Fuel usage –
6.1l/100km
However, the Limited is
there for those who like
leather and all the bells and
whistles, and the CX-3 in
this form is a pampered
drive with its heated seats,
electric everything and all
the safety gear you would
find on the modern SUV.
Part of what makes the
CX-3, and its stablemates,
so special that they have
a traditional driveline,
the engine is a naturallyaspirated
2-litre unit and it
drives through a conventional
six-speed automatic
gearbox. The point I’m
making is that there are
no surprises, you just get
in and a drive it, there are
no quirks or anything that
needs to become familiar, it
is very orthodox.
Mazda claim 109kW and
192Nm from the twincamshaft,
16-valve engine.
Even though peak power
is delivered high in the rev
band at 6000rpm, the point
of maximum torque is low
at 2800rpm. Mazda is a

protocols so that the engine
is far from flighty, yet
working solidly the torque
curve which not only initiates
keen acceleration
(0-100km/h in 9sec) but
also miserly fuel usage.
The engine is also rated
with a 6.1-litre per 100km
(46mpg) combined cycle
economy figure which sits
well with the 8l/100km
(36mpg) dash panel
readout during my time
with the car. It also sits
at 4.5l/100km (63mpg)
at 100km/h on the highway,
the engine working
over very relaxed at just
2050rpm.
I took the test car west to
Windwhistle and Terrace
Downs. It cruises quietly
on the highway and there is
solid engine response when
highway overtakes need to
be completed, along with a
satisfying feel beneath the
accelerator.
The CX-3 also handles
purposefully thanks to the
new power steering tuning.
Pushed quickly into a
corner, then CX-3 stays balanced
with minimal body
roll and direct turn-in. The
suspension is a fully independent
type (front struts/
rear multiple link), that
allows freedom of movement
for the wheels, while
firmish spring and damper
rates provide a sporty,
involving sensation. Not
that the suspension compromises
interior comfort,
the CX-3 has all the attributes
which buyers demand
from the modern SUV.
As I’ve alluded to, I’m
greatly taken with the
CX-3, not just because it
is a car which does little
wrong, but I’m buoyed by
the build quality Mazda
in recent years has been
engineering into its entire
model line up.
The company has shifted
the goal posts in terms of
value and driving feel, the
line-up is most certainly
going from strength to
strength.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY
Making it easier to learn
how to teach English
anywhere in the world
From 2018, Ara will offer the
internationally recognised University of
Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English
to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA)
full-time, part time and through blended
delivery. It will be the only centre in New
Zealand offering the programme in all
three options.
Julie van Dyk, CELTA tutor and
programme leader says graduates of the
Ara course have a high rate of employment
in English language teaching. “Eighty three
percent of students who completed the
course at Ara last year are now working
in the industry, in China, France, New
Zealand, Japan and Hong Kong.”
Van Dyk says CELTA students develop
an understanding of the key principles
and practices of effective English language
teaching. “You’ll teach two different classes
for your assessed teaching practice, with
students from a wide range of language
backgrounds.”
With the choice of three delivery modes,
students can choose the option that best
suits their needs. The fulltime option is a
four-week intensive course, held Monday
to Friday from 9am to 5.30pm, and will
be offered in March and September 2018.
“This option is ideal for people who want
to complete the qualification in the shortest
possible time and move into employment
or go overseas afterwards,” van Dyk says.
The part-time course takes 11 weeks and
comprises 12-15 hours’ face-to-face study
and a minimum of 10 hours’ independent
study each week. It’s held on Saturdays from
9am to 4.30pm, and Tuesday and Thursday
evenings from 5.30pm to 9pm. Van Dyk
says this option is popular with people who
have family or work commitments and who
want to study over a longer period of time.
The blended option combines online selfdirected
study with face-to-face teaching
practice and observations, over 15 weeks.
“This option is ideal if you prefer more
flexible learning, or if you’re based outside
Christchurch,” van Dyk says. “You can
study this course from anywhere in New
Zealand, as you only need to attend on-site
classes at Ara for a part of the course.”

dates and the application process, visit

Now the two longtime

themselves

front of the
pack in the
opening round
at Pukekohe at
the weekend.
Racing
against
each other
competitively
is somewhat
new to them.
However, their history
together stretches back to
their early teens.
Both drivers began their
racing careers in karts with
Matthew Hamilton at the
Kartsport Canterbury race
track on Carrs Rd.
Milligan, who was 13
at the time, was looking
to purchase his first kart.
Record sprint car field at Ruapuna
SPEEDWAY FANS are
in for a treat on Saturday
night at Ruapuna with a
record 30 entries in the
opening round of the
Hydraulink War of the
Wings Sprintcar Series.
Defending series
champion Jamie Duff of
Christchurch will go in as
favourite. However, last
week at Ruapuna’s season
opener, he had to play
second fiddle to Te Anau’s
Daniel Anderson.
Ruapuna club
president Allan Daly
says the prospects of
an outstanding race
Alexander had been racing
for a few years already and
was looking to move up a
class. This led to Mulligan
buying Alexander’s 100cc
Yamaha kart.
Although the two grew
up racing in different
classes, they developed a
relationship which saw
Mulligan go on to be part
of Alexander’s mechanical
crew during his first season
in the Toyota 86 Championship.
“Jack was still racing
karts at the time and we
needed an extra set of
hands to work on the car,”
said Alexander.
Now the pair will go
wheel to wheel for this
year’s 86 championship
title.
“Before round one, I
knew that Tom was going
to be the guy to beat. He’s
won it before and he’s
always been a good driver,”
said Mulligan.
“It’s going to be a good
battle throughout the
season.”
Alexander – who won
the 86 championship in
2014-15 and is now based
in Auckland – claimed
on Saturday are high,
particularly given the
talent on offer and the
calibre of equipment.
“It’s as good as you will
see anywhere and it’s
amazing that, 10 years
ago, there were just six
entrants for the South
Island championship. The
attraction of the series is
the $100,000 prize and
travel pool,” said Daly.
Another local driver
who will fancy his
chances will be three-time

champion Luke Keegan.

two wins at the weekend
to leave Pukekohe with the
championship lead. Milligan
is second overall after
a win in the opening race
and a podium finish.
Milligan won the 12-lap
opening race on Saturday
with Alexander in third.
In race two, it was
Alexander’s turn to swarm
through to the lead in
light rain. He was followed
home by Milligan who had
a strong start to move up
the grid after starting in
eighth.
In race three, Alexander
again held off a challenge
from Mulligan. On the
back straight, Milligan
made a bold move to go
around the outside of Alexander,
who held his line
and his lead as Milligan
slid onto the grass and
ended the race in eighth.
The pair will now head
to Taupo for the next
round in early December
where both are expected to
feature at the front.
“Jack proved last year
that he’s got speed. I’d love
it if it turns out to be a

Jack,” said Alexander.
of sprint car racing and
possesses a great race
temperament. Keegan is
prepared to wait for opportunities
and, in the frenetic
action which comes with
sprint car racing, that is a
huge asset. Last Saturday,
Keegan timed his run
to perfection coming in
second behind Anderson
in the feature.
“The pits will be jam
packed and we have had to
put in an extra heat race to
accommodate the entries.
The time trials, which start
at 6pm, will sort the heat
race groups,” said Daly.

Cricketers choose their
school over Canterbury
• By Gordon Findlater
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High’s
top cricketers have been forced
to choose between their school
or Canterbury due to a calendar
logjam caused by next year’s
under-19 Cricket World Cup.
CBHS will aim to defend their
national First XI Cup title in
Palmerston North from December
4-8. In recent years, the tournament
has been held at Lincoln
University, but a change in venue
was needed with the under-19
regional tournament being held
there from December 4-12.
Traditionally, the regional
tournament is held a week after
the First XI Cup tournament,
but its move forward has forced
some students from around
the country to choose between
representing their school or their
province.
CBHS coach Matt Parr says it
was a no-brainer for his students
to quickly decide their priorities
lay with representing school.
Following the regional tournament,
New Zealand Cricket will
select the national team to play
in the under-19 Cricket World
Cup. The ICC requires nations

to name their squads by mid-
December, which is one reason
why the regional tournament was
moved forward.
Due to the double-up, New
Zealand Cricket will now have
selectors at both tournaments,
ensuring no player is disadvantaged
by their choice to represent
their school or region.
CBHS students Louie Chapman
and Mitchell Hay will join
up the with the Canterbury team
following the tournament in
Palmerston North. However, it’s
likely several other CBHS students
would have made the team
as well and their absence will
leave Canterbury under strength.
“We’re probably missing out on
two players that would have been
involved but, at the same time,
it’s a great opportunity to give
an opportunity to a couple of
younger guys,” said Canterbury
Cricket performance squad
coach Dion Ebrahim.
This year’s First XI Cup
title will be contested by CBHS,
HIBS, Palmerston North Boys’
High, Otago Boys’ High, Tauranga
Boys’ College, and Auckland’s
Rosmini College. The under-19
Cricket World Cup takes place
around New Zealand from January
12 to February 8.
Mates meet on course
• By Gordon Findlater
AFTER LOSING to one of his
best mates in the New Zealand
amateur golf championship final
on Sunday, Tom Parker was
quick to get the last laugh on the
pool table.
Parker, 17, took on Wellington’s
Daniel Hiller, 19, in the
36-hole championship final at
Russley. Although it was the first
time they had been paired up on
the golf course over the five-day
championship, they were housemates
all week.
Since 2015, their friendship
has seen Hillier stay with Parker
when he’s playing in Christchurch
while Parker does the same
in Wellington.
Hillier made a fast start on
Sunday as their friendship was
put aside on the course. He recorded
seven birdies and an eagle
through the first 14 holes to
jump to an early seven up lead.
He eventually went on to win 10
holes up with nine to play.
“It was played in really good
spirits. There could be worse
people to see win it I’m sure,”
said Parker.
Their competitive streak didn’t
end there, though. Pool and
table tennis occupy their time off
the course and Parker recorded a
bitter-sweet victory in his garage
before Hiller left for Malaysia to

Championship final.
compete in the Nomura Cup.
“We’re normally pretty even
on the pool table, but I got him
that evening. Maybe he was
sympathetic and gave it to me,”
Parker joked.
After a scratchy start to the
tournament, Parker nailed two
6m-plus putts on the 17th and
18th holes in the final round of
stroke play to finish 32nd, just
allowing him to advance to the
final 32 match play elimination
round.
On his way to the final, Parker
defeated Scott Hellier, James

Hayato Miya in match play.

The Best Kept Secrets
to Selling Your Home
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is
the only impression
No matter how good the interior of your
home looks, buyers have already judged
your home before they walk through the
door. You never have a second chance to
make a first impression. It’s important
to make people feel warm, welcome and
safe as they approach the house. Spruce
up your home’s exterior with inexpensive
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry
ways are also important. You use it as a
utility space for your coat and keys. But,
when you’re selling, make it welcoming by
putting in a small bench or a vase of freshcut
flowers.
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at
all times – you never know when your
buyer is going to walk through the door.
You have to be available whenever they
want to come see the place and it has to
be in tip-top shape. Don’t leave dishes in
the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out,
the bathrooms sparkling and make sure
there are no dust bunnies in the corners.
It’s a little inconvenient, but it will get your
house sold.
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first
You’re not actually selling your house,
you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how
important it is. The benefits of remodeling
your kitchen are endless, and the best part
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your
money back. It may be a few thousand
dollars to replace countertops where a
buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking
price if your kitchen looks dated. The
fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates
include painting and new cabinet hardware.
Use a neutral-color paint so you can
present buyers with a blank canvas where
they can start envisioning their own style.
If you have a little money to spend, buy
one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why
one? Because when people see one highend
appliance they think all the rest are
expensive too and it updates the kitchen.
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of
your house
One of the most important things to
do when selling your house is to depersonalize
it. The more personal stuff in
your house, the less potential buyers can
imagine themselves living there. Get rid
of a third of your stuff – put it in storage.

This includes family photos, memorabilia
collections and personal keepsakes. Staging
simply means arranging your furniture to
best showcase the floor plan and maximize
the use of space.
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade
Quick fixes before selling always pay off.
Mammoth makeovers, not so much. You
probably won’t get your money back if you
do a huge improvement project before you
put your house on the market. Instead,
do updates that will pay off and get you
top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint
on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door
handles, cabinet hardware, make sure closet
doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and
clean the grout.
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm
the hearts of potential buyers, but you’d be
wrong. Not everybody is a dog- or catlover.
Buyers don’t want to walk in your
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell
the kitty litter box or have tufts of pet hair
stuck to their clothes. It will give buyers the
impression that your house is not clean. If
you’re planning an open home don’t leave
your pets around.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong
real estate agent. Make sure you have an
agent who is totally informed. They must
constantly monitor the multiple listing
service (MLS), know what properties are
going on the market and know the comps
in your neighborhood. Find an agent who
embraces technology – a tech-savvy one
has many tools to get your house sold.
Selling Secret #8: Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After
location, good light is the one thing that
every buyer cites that they want in a
home. Take down the drapes, clean the
windows, change the lampshades, increase
the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the
bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do what
you have to do make your house bright and
cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets
Storage is something every buyer is looking
for and can never have enough of. Take
half the stuff out of your closets then neatly
organize what’s left in there. Buyers will
snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets
and cabinets clean and tidy.
