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

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

E. coli found in Lyttelton pump station<br />
E. COLI bacteria has been found<br />
in a pump station used to supply<br />
water to homes and businesses<br />
in the Lyttleton area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is chlorinating<br />
the water supply and warns<br />
people in Lyttleton, Governors<br />
Bay and Diamond Harbour may<br />
notice an odour and taste in<br />
their water for a “few days”.<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
PRIVATE CAR parking<br />
operators in the central city are<br />
concerned cheaper charges in<br />
the new Lichfield St Car Park<br />
will take away their business.<br />
It will cost $2.80 an hour<br />
to use the new city council<br />
Lichfield St Car Park, which<br />
opens tomorrow, more than $1<br />
cheaper than other privatelyowned<br />
buildings.<br />
Central City Business<br />
Association manager Paul<br />
Lonsdale said there was some<br />
concern among private operators<br />
the new car park would take<br />
their business because it was<br />
significantly cheaper.<br />
“If the council’s wanting<br />
developers to develop car parks,<br />
they can’t come along and<br />
undercut the prices.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> car park’s opening also<br />
marks the beginning of the trial<br />
of an hour’s free parking in all<br />
city council-owned off-street car<br />
parks in the central city.<br />
It will cost motorists $2.80 an<br />
hour to park in the Lichfield St<br />
Car Park from 6am-6pm every<br />
day. All day parking would<br />
be $10, while the night-time<br />
hourly rate would be $2.50. In<br />
comparison, it costs $2 to park<br />
in <strong>The</strong> Crossing and Hereford<br />
St car parks for up to half an<br />
hour, $4 from 31min to an hour,<br />
with an extra $2 every half hour<br />
It was detected during routine<br />
testing of the water at the<br />
Scruttons pump station in the<br />
Heathcote Valley, said the city<br />
council.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pump station feeds<br />
water through to the Lyttelton<br />
Harbour basin via the Somes<br />
Reservoir in Lyttelton.<br />
Lyttelton Community<br />
thereafter. City councillor Jamie<br />
Gough said the Lichfield St Car<br />
Park and the free parking trial<br />
would bring more people into<br />
the central city and, in turn,<br />
benefit private operators.<br />
He said people also liked<br />
convenience and, if they wanted<br />
to park closely to a particular<br />
place, they would pay more to<br />
Assocation chairman Ken<br />
Maynard said his property was<br />
serviced by the pump station<br />
but he hadn’t yet noticed any<br />
change in smell or taste due to<br />
the chlorination.<br />
Several Lyttelton residents said<br />
they had been experiencing sore<br />
tummies on and off over the past<br />
few weeks.<br />
Council’s cheaper car park<br />
prices ruffle feathers<br />
do so. <strong>The</strong> city council was not<br />
looking to undercut private<br />
operators, but it had to do what<br />
was best for the public, he said.<br />
“We have the public’s interest<br />
at heart.” Cr Gough said the<br />
private car parking buildings<br />
leased spaces to corporate<br />
vehicles and fleets, so short<br />
term parking was not their only<br />
Canterbury District medical<br />
officer of health Alistair<br />
Humphrey said the e. coli had<br />
been picked up early and there<br />
was not expected to be any<br />
health concerns.<br />
Upset stomachs were<br />
common, he said. People should<br />
go to their doctor if they had any<br />
concerns.<br />

ECO-BURIAL<br />
A new eco-burial site will open<br />
within the Diamond Harbour<br />
Memorial Gardens Cemetery<br />
next week. This will be the<br />
first eco-burial site to open in<br />
Christchurch or Banks Peninsula.<br />
A more environmentally friendly<br />
process than what is usual in<br />
New Zealand, eco-burials involve<br />
a shallower plot. <strong>The</strong> body is<br />
not embalmed, is dressed in<br />
natural, biodegradable materials,<br />
and the coffin or shroud is also<br />
biodegradable and non-toxic.<br />
QE II MAORI NAMES<br />
<strong>The</strong> Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board will<br />
participate in a closed workshop<br />
at the end of the month to discuss<br />
whether the new QE II site will<br />
receive some Maori names. <strong>The</strong><br />
workshop will be with the city<br />
council. <strong>The</strong>re may be a Maori<br />
name added on to the name of the<br />
park or some streets may receive<br />
Maori names. Discussions and<br />
approval from the Queen’s office<br />
will be required before anything<br />
can be added to the park’s<br />
original name.<br />
NEW COUNCIL VIDEO GEAR<br />
<strong>The</strong> video equipment used to live<br />

been upgraded. City council chief<br />
information officer Vicki Taylor<br />
said it was a planned upgrade to<br />
replace technology that was more<br />

the improvements had utilised<br />
technology changes over that<br />

in our video streaming provider.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Memorial Avenue<br />
Gateway Bridge will open to traffic<br />
next week. <strong>The</strong> bridge, with<br />
its arches, is the final piece to be<br />
completed in the multi-million<br />

An open day on top of the bridge<br />
will take place on Saturday from<br />

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

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

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

‘Hey, just move your house’<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
MOVING A Spreydon woman’s<br />
house after five two-storey<br />
townhouses started being built<br />
next door is one of the options<br />
suggested to make her home<br />
more liveable.<br />
In an email to Bolton Ave<br />
homeowner Kim Mehlhopt,<br />
city council head of resource<br />
consents John Higgins said one<br />
option could be to “re-site” the<br />
house on her property as part of<br />
her EQC repairs.<br />
Her home may need to be<br />
lifted and a new foundation put<br />
down as part of those repairs.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y expect, hey, just move<br />
your house,” Ms Mehlhopt said.<br />
In September, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
revealed JSJ Investments was<br />
building townhouses next door<br />
to Ms Mehlhopt’s home of 15<br />
years – the garage less than a<br />
metre away.<br />
She said the development<br />
will devalue her home, cost her<br />
privacy, and the street’s family<br />
orientated appeal. But under<br />
the District Plan, zoning for the<br />
development is compliant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has met with<br />
JSJ Investments director Nick<br />
Johnston to discuss how the<br />
development could be altered to<br />

make it better for Ms Mehlhopt.<br />
“As the development in question<br />
is consented and largely<br />
constructed, there is little that<br />
can be easily changed, or the<br />
council can require be changed,<br />
in terms of the built form of that<br />
development,” a city council<br />
spokeswoman said.<br />
In an email to Ms Mehlhopt,<br />
Mr Higgins said the developer<br />
had agreed to pay for a boundary<br />
fence. But he said access to Ms<br />
Mehlhopt’s property would need<br />
to be granted and her backyard<br />
garden shed would need to be<br />
removed to build the fence.<br />
“How can they grant nonnotifiable<br />
consent when we have<br />
to do things on your neighbour’s<br />
property?” Ms Mehlhopt said.<br />
“At this point, I continue to allow<br />
no access to my property.”<br />
Mr Higgins said in the email<br />
the city council had also discussed<br />
compensation or a possible<br />
buy out with the developer.<br />
But the email said the developer<br />
did not feel the need to pay<br />
compensation because the development<br />
was complaint, and he<br />
wanted to see how the units sold<br />
before offering to buy her out.<br />
Ms Mehlhopt said she kept<br />
being told little could be done<br />
because the development was<br />
too advanced. She contacted a<br />
lawyer this week.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s no benefit to me at<br />
this point.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> discussions came after city<br />
council staff, Wigram MP Megan<br />
Woods and city councillor<br />
Phil Clearwater visited Ms Mehlhopt<br />
to discuss her concerns<br />
following stories in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> issue has been referred to<br />
the District Plan team to consider<br />
any future changes to it.<br />

thought he<br />
would drown<br />
•From page 1<br />

some in the group urged the others<br />
to drown him.<br />
“We are unsure how long he<br />
was underwater<br />
for,” said Senior<br />
Sergeant Stills.<br />
“At one stage<br />
and he believed<br />
he was going to<br />
be drowned.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> teenager<br />
eventually broke<br />
free and attempted<br />
to run home.<br />

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

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

beats inner city living in Chch<br />
<strong>The</strong> research said the planning<br />
practices and policies in force<br />
to encourage mixed-use development<br />
may “reduce the attractiveness”<br />
of inner-suburban<br />
properties.<br />
But it said the findings should<br />
not hinder efforts to encourage<br />
mixed-use development living,<br />
and more research needed to<br />
be done on how to make highdensity<br />
living more attractive.<br />
Central Ward city councillor<br />
Deon Swiggs, who lives in<br />
the inner-city, said in foreign<br />
countries, they only went home<br />
to sleep.<br />
“We need to make our city<br />
centre the living room for people<br />
who want to live in the central<br />
city.”<br />
He said the offer of living in<br />
the central city was not as appealing<br />
as it used to be. But with<br />
new apartment blocks and the<br />
East Frame being built, it was<br />
improving, he said.<br />
But Christchurch needed to<br />
cater for everyone and, for some<br />
families, the inner-city was not<br />
appropriate, he said.<br />
In July, a city council survey<br />
found a lot of people did not feel<br />
safe in the central city. To make<br />
it safer, it needed to be more<br />
PREFERRED: People in Christchurch prefer living in the<br />
suburbs, according to new research.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
populated, Cr Swiggs said.<br />
Central City Business Association<br />
manager Paul Lonsdale said<br />
housing in the inner city needed<br />
to be affordable.<br />
“I know the council has had a<br />
wish to have a lot of people living<br />
back in the central city by a<br />
certain time,” he said.<br />
“If the council’s really keen on<br />
making that happen, they have<br />
to do something to assist that<br />
momentum, otherwise it won’t<br />
happen to the degree they want.”<br />
Mr Lonsdale said businesses<br />
would thrive if more people<br />
lived closer, and some could stay<br />
open for longer to cater for that.<br />
With more people, came<br />
increased safety at night, he said.<br />
He said Christchurch had<br />
amenities, such as parks and<br />
open spaces in the central city,<br />
which lessened the need to own<br />
a larger property and backyard.<br />
“Having a quarter acre section<br />
is a life of work.”<br />
Dr Kusumastuti said it would<br />
be difficult to make inner-city<br />
living more<br />
attractive,<br />
because it was<br />
Christchurch<br />
culture to own<br />
homes with<br />
backyards.<br />
But she said<br />
culture could<br />
be changed Paul Lonsdale<br />
because the<br />
current outwards spread of<br />
housing was not sustainable.<br />
That had happened in Auckland,<br />
with many people deciding<br />
to compromise on size because<br />
of a lack of affordability, she<br />
said.<br />
Ways to make inner-city,<br />
mixed-use living more attractive<br />
should be investigated, she said,<br />
which included the design of<br />
the buildings to try and reduce<br />
noise. <strong>The</strong> research was supported<br />
by the Building Research<br />
Association of New Zealand<br />
through the Building Research<br />

East Frame<br />
unsuitable for<br />
dog park plan<br />

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

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

STRICTER ROAD maintenance<br />
standards and GPS tracking of<br />
contractors are now being used<br />
to improve the quality of the<br />
city’s roads and footpaths.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has implemented<br />
a new system to monitor<br />
the work of three new contractors<br />
which cover the 1600km of<br />
road around the city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> contractors, City Care,<br />
Higgins and HEB, took over last<br />
month.<br />
City council road maintenance<br />
manager Mark Pinner<br />
said the new system meant<br />
there were stricter standards for<br />
contractors, the quality of their<br />
work, and how quickly it was<br />
done.<br />
For example, a pothole reported<br />
on a high volume road<br />
would need to be fixed within<br />
a day, while one on a lower volume<br />
route would be within two<br />
days, he said.<br />
If the contractor continued to<br />
fail to meet the time restrictions<br />
imposed across all maintenance<br />
tasks, they would be paid less,<br />
he said.<br />
“If they fail any one item on<br />
any given month, when they do<br />
it the next month, the deduction<br />
occurs.”<br />
POOR: Roading contractors now have to meet stricter<br />
standards for maintenance in a bid to improve the condition<br />
of the city’s roads.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes come after city<br />
councillors raised the issue of<br />
falling maintenance levels across<br />
the city earlier this year, saying<br />
it was “failing spectacularly” to<br />
keep the city maintained and<br />
the number of complaints down.<br />
At the time, they said there<br />
was not enough data to show<br />
what was being done and what<br />
was not.<br />
Mr Pinner said the new system<br />
was about making sure the<br />
city council got the best value<br />
for money, and it provided better<br />
services for ratepayers.<br />

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

approximately 25% of arrivals (landings) into Christchurch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trial will gather data to be used in the progressive upgrade from<br />
procedures based on radars to a network guided by satellites.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new navigation procedures are more accurate and allow for shorter,<br />

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

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

Glass creations<br />
now being made in bright new premises<br />
aDVERTORIaL<br />
Whichever way you can imagine glass<br />
being used creatively in your home, AJ<br />
Creative Glass can make it happen.<br />
From splash-backs in your kitchen to<br />
kitchen bench tops, showers, bath<br />
surrounds, mirrors and fire hearths or walls<br />
– in plain colours to harmonise with your<br />
décor, or with any design you would like<br />
– the creative team at AJ Creative Glass,<br />
have the skills and experience to produce<br />
stunning and unique results.<br />
Now in its eighth year, the family-run<br />
AJ Creative Glass, now also known as<br />
AS Design, is owned and operated<br />
by Andrew and Alona Skelton. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
company is made up of family, all<br />
experienced<br />
in their own<br />
areas –<br />
painter Jay,<br />
installer Nat,<br />
sandblaster<br />
Josh, and<br />
Trina front<br />
line in the<br />
office/<br />
showroom,<br />
and all<br />
trained in<br />
other areas<br />
as well.<br />
For the team, it is more fun than work,<br />
and all say they love seeing the end<br />
results, along with the clients’ reactions.<br />
Six weeks ago, the business<br />
shifted from Fitzgerald<br />
Avenue to 413 Tuam Street,<br />
(on the corner of Saxon St)<br />
where many of their glass<br />
works are displayed in a<br />
‘real life’ setting in the new<br />
showroom that has been set<br />
up like a home.<br />
You can browse round the<br />
showroom and get ideas, and<br />
at the same time, watch the<br />
glass and work being crafted<br />
in the workshop.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> possibilities for incorporating glass<br />
into the home are endless,” Alona says.<br />
“Clients can have imagery such as<br />
photos put on to the glass. This is<br />
printed on, so it’s permanent. Or they<br />
can come up with any design they<br />
desire, and we will produce it for them.<br />
For painted glass we use Resene paints,<br />
which are mixed by Resene in the<br />
client’s choice of colour. AJ Creative<br />
Glass and Resene both give a 10-year<br />
warranty on their products.<br />
“Clients have control of their design<br />
from start to finish,” Alona says, “and we<br />
encourage that, as it is their home and<br />
you should love what<br />
you live with.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> glass items<br />
can be shipped<br />
anywhere across New<br />
Zealand, with the<br />
company also having<br />
facilities in Auckland<br />
for measure and<br />
installation.<br />
“We are now looking<br />
at more avenues for<br />
using glass in the<br />
home. For example,<br />
we are upcycling furniture by adding<br />
painted and sandblasted glass to items<br />
and bringing them back to life.”<br />
To see many of the ways glass can<br />
be used creatively, call into their new<br />
showroom at 413 Tuam St, with plenty of<br />
off-street parking, phone 338 3733. Check<br />
out their website, www.ajcreativeglass.<br />
co.nz or ‘like’ them on Facebook.<br />
Every now and then you can also catch<br />
the AJ Creative team at the Christchurch<br />
Home Show where they display samples<br />
of their glass creations.<br />

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

TWO FORMER New Brighton<br />
players could face each other on<br />
the international rugby stage.<br />
Phil Burleigh has been named<br />
in the wider Scotland squad<br />
while his good mate Ryan<br />
Crotty has made the All Black<br />
centre position his own.<br />
<strong>The</strong> duo spent plenty of time<br />
together growing up, playing<br />
through the grades at New<br />
Brighton and in the same first<br />
XV side at Shirley Boys’ High<br />
during the 2004 and 2005<br />
seasons.<br />

are selected to play each<br />
other in the end of year test<br />

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

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

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

In the past five years, China has also steadfastly promoted<br />
peaceful and diplomatic means to solve many of the global<br />
crises like the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue. China is a<br />
staunch supporter of the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping<br />
missions and a provider of international humanitarian relief.<br />
It is the top contributor of UN peacekeepers and the secondlargest<br />
contributor to peacekeeping funds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> world has also witnessed China’s important leadership role<br />
in climate change. China was one of the first to sign the Paris<br />
Agreement, and has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting<br />
global warming after the United States announced its decision<br />
in June to withdraw from the accord. President Xi said in his<br />
report that China has taken a driver’s seat in international<br />
cooperation on climate change and become an important<br />
participant, contributor, and torchbearer in the global endeavor<br />
for ecological civilization. <strong>The</strong> country more than met its carbon<br />
emission reduction goals last year, and pledged a package of 3.1<br />
billion U.S. dollars to the South-South Cooperation Fund on<br />
Climate Change for developing countries. China, sticking with<br />
this path, makes it more likely that eventually even the United<br />
States will come back to the consensus on climate change.<br />
Xi once said China’s ongoing reforms have sailed into uncharted<br />
“deep waters” where what is left is mostly the hard nuts to crack.<br />
<strong>The</strong> situation is the same with the rest of the world, if not worse.<br />
Yet that should not be an excuse to turn back or turn against<br />
each other. Rather, it should be the reason for all nations to join<br />
hands and eliminate the deficit in global governance. As many<br />
foreign leaders and observers have pointed out, China has set an<br />
instructive example in this regard. In these turbulent times, the<br />
19th National Congress of the CPC gives a strong message of<br />
unity, cohesion and determination to fight for peace, sustainable<br />
development and the creation of harmonious world societies. If<br />
a world of shared and sustainable prosperity, fair growth and<br />
balanced power is to ever exist, China will have a leading and<br />
indispensable role in it.

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

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

Mrs Driscoll said pre-sales for<br />
the games are well up on previous<br />
years, competition numbers<br />
are at capacity and more than<br />
200 volunteers will be involved.<br />
A record crowd of 10,000 attended<br />
the games last year.<br />

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

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

HOW TO COOK BARBECUE<br />

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

1⅓ cups Dried cranberries<br />
½ cup Walnuts<br />
¼ cup Parsley<br />
1 to taste Salt & freshly ground<br />

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

Tuesday to Sunday at the<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Actress opens up about eating disorder<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
JANE LEONARD was 13-yearsold<br />
when she first started<br />
comparing her body weight to<br />
girls her own age.<br />
Trained in ballet from a young<br />
age, she was startled to notice her<br />
body maturing earlier than the<br />
other dancers in her class.<br />
“Ballet, as you know, you want<br />
to be slim and tiny . . . I was<br />
always struggling with the fact<br />
I was a lot bigger than the other<br />
girls. I think that may have triggered<br />
something in my mind,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Riccarton resident, now<br />
24, would often find herself looking<br />
in the mirror only to see a<br />
magnified, large version staring<br />
back.<br />
Before long, Leonard’s body<br />
dysmorphia escalated and she<br />
found herself diagnosed with<br />
bulimia – a serious eating disorder<br />
characterised by binge eating<br />
followed by purging.<br />
A long journey of intuitive<br />
eating saw Leonard clinically<br />
overcome her battle by the age<br />
of 16.<br />
But now Leonard, an emerging<br />
performer in the city’s theatre<br />
scene, is sharing her story in a<br />
bid to make others aware they<br />
are not alone in their struggle<br />
with eating disorders.<br />
Leonard’s blog, Haere Mai Apple<br />
Pie, details her journey and<br />
how she overcame her eating<br />
disorder.<br />
In a metaphoric style,<br />
Leonard describes her<br />
own mind as a busy<br />
household filled<br />
with characters<br />
including<br />
depression<br />
– Dee-Dee<br />
for short<br />
– Happy<br />
Happiness,<br />
and Evelyn<br />
Eating Disorder.<br />
In Leonard’s<br />
story, Evelyn appears<br />
as a beautiful and<br />
perfect individual<br />
looking to rent.<br />
But following<br />
her move into<br />
the metaphoric<br />
household,<br />
she negatively<br />
changes its<br />
character<br />
before<br />
Leonard kicks<br />
her out.<br />
Leonard<br />
said there<br />
needs to<br />
FIERCE:<br />
Jane Leonard stars<br />
in the upcoming<br />
musical Chicago.<br />
PHOTO: THE COURT<br />
THEATRE<br />
be a platform where it was okay<br />
to talk about mental health,<br />
particularly for performing<br />
artists.<br />
“All mental disorders<br />
are really common<br />
among<br />
performing artists,<br />
but especially<br />
in musical theatre . .<br />
. that kind of cookiecutter,<br />
fairy<br />
tale image, that is often<br />
what an audience member<br />
wants to see. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
want to see perfection,”<br />
she said.<br />
Leonard<br />
feels strongly<br />
about letting<br />
young girls<br />
know it is<br />
okay to be a<br />
performer<br />
and have<br />
curves and<br />
muscles.<br />
Since posting<br />
her blog, Leonard said she’s<br />
had a positive response and has<br />
inspired others to share their<br />
own mental health journeys.<br />
While her career in the arts<br />
has been emotionally and financially<br />
stressful, Leonard said<br />
she has been blessed with the<br />
GIVE BACK: Leonard is now<br />
helping others battle eating<br />
disorders.<br />
opportunities she’s had. “I am<br />
grateful for all the stuff I have<br />
been through because I wouldn’t<br />
be the same if it hadn’t been for<br />
my experiences,” she said.<br />
Leonard will star in the alternating<br />
role of Elphaba in Showbiz<br />
Christchurch’s production of<br />
Wicked in March.<br />
She will also feature in the ensemble<br />
and play the understudy<br />
role of Velma Kelly in <strong>The</strong> Court<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre’s production of Chicago.<br />
For the past year, Leonard has<br />
featured as the face of the promo<br />
images for the show.<br />
“That is also a bit like body<br />
confidence – I am on a poster in<br />
lingerie,” she said.<br />

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

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

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

Diabetes and<br />
Arthritis aid<br />
gets amazing<br />
feedback!<br />
Since using the Aircycle the swelling<br />
in my legs and feet have decreased<br />
dramatically, my ulcerated toe has started<br />
to heal and all the pain from my toe has<br />
gone. <strong>The</strong> toes on my other foot have<br />
stopped tingling and getting sore on the<br />
tips and they are back to a healthy pink<br />
colour. I am now able to walk much<br />
further without pain.”- Richard UK.<br />
• “My daughter works in a diabetes<br />
clinic and she recommends the Air Cycle<br />
to prevent or alleviate varicose veins in<br />
the leg” -Harry, Auckland<br />
• “ Within 2 weeks of using the Aircycle<br />
my ulcer was starting to heal and in<br />
6 weeks it was completely healed. My<br />
physio said it was because I was exercising<br />
more. It’s good to be able to do something<br />

Great Xmas gift idea!<br />
whilst sitting, especially when it’s so easy<br />
yet effective.”- Jane, Toowomba<br />
• “<strong>The</strong> Aircycle is even better than the<br />
information says. <strong>The</strong> pain in my knees<br />
has gone and although I use a walker I<br />
don’t need it around the house anymore.<br />
I can move more freely and have much<br />
less pain in both my hands and feet. My<br />
feet are warmer too and now I don’t need<br />
bed socks which I’ve worn for years” Gay,<br />

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

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

Lipid & Diabetes<br />
Research Group<br />
Established in the mid-1980’s, the Lipid and Diabetes Research Group<br />
is involved in both Academic Projects and Pharmaceutical Research<br />
Trials. Research participants attend our purpose-built modern unit<br />
(free-parking provided on-site), near the main hospital campus.<br />
Clinical Professor of Medicine, Russell Scott, an internationallyrenowned<br />
Diabetes and Cholesterol Specialist leads our team of 12<br />
research-trained Doctors, Nurses, Coordinators, Laboratory, and<br />
Administrative staff.<br />
Our research focuses primarily on medicines that are being<br />
developed. Traditionally our emphasis has been cholesterol and diabetic<br />
health, however our extensive experience has enabled us to expand<br />
into other areas of health which are also of current National and<br />
International importance. <strong>The</strong>se include: obesity, heart failure, elderly<br />
health, coronary artery disease, kidney failure, and vaccines.<br />
Although early-stage studies are often less than 3 months, the larger<br />
global studies can run for 5-8 years, providing valuable information<br />
about long-term health effects and safety.<br />
Study participants undergo health check-ups before entering a study,<br />
and are monitored throughout their participation. We communicate<br />
with other health providers about their patient’s involvement in our<br />
studies.<br />
We are always open to hearing from new people who have an interest<br />
in knowing more, or participating in research. All questions welcome!<br />

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

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

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Experienced team committed<br />
to customer service<br />
If experience counts in motor vehicle<br />
servicing and repairs, then Beach Road Tyre<br />
& Auto must be a top choice for motorists<br />
needing work done on their vehicle.<br />
Owner of the business, Nick Coultas, has<br />
27 years’ experience at Beach Road and<br />
he has a staff of 10, all of whom are highly<br />
experienced with a wealth of knowledge.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y repair and service all types of<br />
vehicle, including those under warranty.<br />
“If your vehicle is still under warranty<br />
and needs something done, you don’t need<br />
to take it to the dealer – you can bring it<br />
in to us. We have the latest equipment to<br />
service all late-model vehicles, including<br />
five computerised scanners,” Nick says.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se days they are servicing hybrid and<br />
even full electric vehicles as well, he says.<br />
Servicing and re-gassing air-conditioning<br />
systems is a specialty at Beach Road Tyre &<br />
Auto Centre, while, as the name suggests,<br />
tyres are a key part of the business. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
carry a huge range of tyres for all makes<br />
and models of cars, including four-wheel<br />
drives, and also do wheel alignments,<br />
which ensure tyres last longer and save fuel.<br />
“If you want it right, see us,” Nick says.<br />
Now that later-model vehicles require<br />
a WOF once every 12 months rather than<br />
every six months, it is important for drivers<br />
to keep an eye on their tyres for wear in<br />
between warrants and have them replaced<br />
if they are getting worn, Nick says.<br />
“We are seeing a lot of very dangerous<br />
tyres, so if you’re unsure how to check them<br />
call in and see us.”<br />
From WOFs to full servicing, and<br />
everything in between, the experienced<br />
team at Beach Road Tyre & Auto does it all.<br />
And as Nick says: “If you’re happy with our<br />
service tell others. If you’re not tell us. We<br />
want to look after our customers.”<br />

Mazda CX-3 refresh<br />
adds to appeal<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
WHEN MAZDA launched<br />
its small sport utility vehicle<br />
in New Zealand in<br />
2015, a fellow motoring<br />
writer and I agreed the<br />
CX-3 was one of the most<br />
significant cars to enter the<br />
market here.<br />
We also both agreed it<br />
was of the most enjoyable<br />
drives of the time.<br />
As history as served to<br />
prove, the CX-3 hasn’t won<br />
the New Zealand Motoring<br />
Writers’ Car of the Year<br />
Award, but to my way of<br />
thinking I can’t understand<br />
why not.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CX-3 is a seriously<br />
good piece of kit, it stands<br />
out in every area, all combining<br />
to produce a pleasurable<br />
driving experience.<br />
Bang on cue, Mazda<br />
has given it a facelift and<br />
upgrade, and the new<br />
model has got an even<br />
greater grasp on me, I simply<br />
in love the CX-3.<br />
Sure, it isn’t big, but it<br />
is an adequate five-seater<br />
and it is functional. <strong>The</strong><br />
rear load space allows for<br />
up to 231-litres of cargo<br />
(1141-litres with the rear<br />
seats folded flat), and even<br />
though the rear seating<br />
area has copped some<br />
criticism for lack of space,<br />
I firmly believe if you are a<br />
young family with a couple<br />
of youngsters in tow, it is<br />
still vastly capable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CX-3 has just undergone<br />
a fairly major cosmetic<br />
refresh, most of the<br />
changes are incorporated<br />
into the interior and that<br />
makes you even more at<br />
ease once you are in the<br />
driver’s seat.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is also the addition<br />
of more functions in the<br />
i-Activesense suite of safety<br />
gear, G-Vectoring control<br />
has been included which<br />
monitors the driver’s steering<br />
and throttle inputs to<br />
promote a safer ride and<br />
greater handling benefits. It<br />
also incorporates emergency<br />
avoidance functions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CX-3 also gets<br />
a re-calibration of the<br />
power steering system and<br />
improvements in noise,<br />
vibration and harshness<br />
within the ride.<br />
Together, the changes<br />
make the CX-3 an even<br />
better car without disturbing<br />
the concept which<br />
appeals so much to me,<br />
and my colleague.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s also been a realignment<br />
of models; sadly<br />
the fabulous 2-litre diesel<br />
has been dropped, so all<br />
models now are petrol<br />
powered. <strong>The</strong>re’s a GLX,<br />
MAZDA CX-3: Facelift and upgrade for popular SUV.<br />
GSX and GSX with leather<br />
and, as in the test car’s case,<br />
a Limited model which<br />
tops the range at $40,195.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entry-level model is<br />
listed and $31,395 while,<br />
interestingly, there’s a GSX<br />
model with four-wheeldrive<br />
which comes in at<br />
$37,295.<br />
<strong>The</strong> range-topper<br />
wouldn’t be the car for me<br />
but I would be tempted by<br />
the non-leather GSX, and<br />
it doesn’t miss out on much<br />
in terms of specification.<br />
• Price – Mazda CX-3<br />
Ltd, $40,195<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 4275mm;<br />
width, 1765mm;<br />
height, 1535mm<br />
• Configuration –<br />
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,<br />

• Performance –<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />
6.1l/100km<br />
However, the Limited is<br />
there for those who like<br />
leather and all the bells and<br />
whistles, and the CX-3 in<br />
this form is a pampered<br />
drive with its heated seats,<br />
electric everything and all<br />
the safety gear you would<br />
find on the modern SUV.<br />
Part of what makes the<br />
CX-3, and its stablemates,<br />
so special that they have<br />
a traditional driveline,<br />
the engine is a naturallyaspirated<br />
2-litre unit and it<br />
drives through a conventional<br />
six-speed automatic<br />
gearbox. <strong>The</strong> point I’m<br />
making is that there are<br />
no surprises, you just get<br />
in and a drive it, there are<br />
no quirks or anything that<br />
needs to become familiar, it<br />
is very orthodox.<br />
Mazda claim 1<strong>09</strong>kW and<br />
192Nm from the twincamshaft,<br />
16-valve engine.<br />
Even though peak power<br />
is delivered high in the rev<br />
band at 6000rpm, the point<br />
of maximum torque is low<br />
at 2800rpm. Mazda is a<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
sheer genius at engineering<br />
engine management<br />
protocols so that the engine<br />
is far from flighty, yet<br />
working solidly the torque<br />
curve which not only initiates<br />
keen acceleration<br />
(0-100km/h in 9sec) but<br />
also miserly fuel usage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> engine is also rated<br />
with a 6.1-litre per 100km<br />
(46mpg) combined cycle<br />
economy figure which sits<br />
well with the 8l/100km<br />
(36mpg) dash panel<br />
readout during my time<br />
with the car. It also sits<br />
at 4.5l/100km (63mpg)<br />
at 100km/h on the highway,<br />
the engine working<br />
over very relaxed at just<br />
2050rpm.<br />
I took the test car west to<br />
Windwhistle and Terrace<br />
Downs. It cruises quietly<br />
on the highway and there is<br />
solid engine response when<br />
highway overtakes need to<br />
be completed, along with a<br />
satisfying feel beneath the<br />
accelerator.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CX-3 also handles<br />
purposefully thanks to the<br />
new power steering tuning.<br />
Pushed quickly into a<br />
corner, then CX-3 stays balanced<br />
with minimal body<br />
roll and direct turn-in. <strong>The</strong><br />
suspension is a fully independent<br />
type (front struts/<br />
rear multiple link), that<br />
allows freedom of movement<br />
for the wheels, while<br />
firmish spring and damper<br />
rates provide a sporty,<br />
involving sensation. Not<br />
that the suspension compromises<br />
interior comfort,<br />
the CX-3 has all the attributes<br />
which buyers demand<br />
from the modern SUV.<br />
As I’ve alluded to, I’m<br />
greatly taken with the<br />
CX-3, not just because it<br />
is a car which does little<br />
wrong, but I’m buoyed by<br />
the build quality Mazda<br />
in recent years has been<br />
engineering into its entire<br />
model line up.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company has shifted<br />
the goal posts in terms of<br />
value and driving feel, the<br />
line-up is most certainly<br />
going from strength to<br />
strength.<br />

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

• By Gordon Findlater<br />
EIGHT years ago Tom<br />
Alexander sold Jack<br />
Milligan a kart which got<br />
him into motor racing<br />
Now the two longtime<br />
friends are set to<br />
battle for the Toyota 86<br />
Championship. Alexander,<br />
23, and<br />
Milligan,<br />
21, found<br />
themselves<br />
duelling at the<br />
Tom<br />
Alexander<br />
Jack<br />
Milligan<br />
front of the<br />
pack in the<br />
opening round<br />
at Pukekohe at<br />
the weekend.<br />
Racing<br />
against<br />
each other<br />
competitively<br />
is somewhat<br />
new to them.<br />
However, their history<br />
together stretches back to<br />
their early teens.<br />
Both drivers began their<br />
racing careers in karts with<br />
Matthew Hamilton at the<br />
Kartsport Canterbury race<br />
track on Carrs Rd.<br />
Milligan, who was 13<br />
at the time, was looking<br />
to purchase his first kart.<br />
Record sprint car field at Ruapuna<br />
SPEEDWAY FANS are<br />
in for a treat on Saturday<br />
night at Ruapuna with a<br />
record 30 entries in the<br />
opening round of the<br />
Hydraulink War of the<br />
Wings Sprintcar Series.<br />
Defending series<br />
champion Jamie Duff of<br />
Christchurch will go in as<br />
favourite. However, last<br />
week at Ruapuna’s season<br />
opener, he had to play<br />
second fiddle to Te Anau’s<br />
Daniel Anderson.<br />
Ruapuna club<br />
president Allan Daly<br />
says the prospects of<br />
an outstanding race<br />
Alexander had been racing<br />
for a few years already and<br />
was looking to move up a<br />
class. This led to Mulligan<br />
buying Alexander’s 100cc<br />
Yamaha kart.<br />
Although the two grew<br />
up racing in different<br />
classes, they developed a<br />
relationship which saw<br />
Mulligan go on to be part<br />
of Alexander’s mechanical<br />
crew during his first season<br />
in the Toyota 86 Championship.<br />
“Jack was still racing<br />
karts at the time and we<br />
needed an extra set of<br />
hands to work on the car,”<br />
said Alexander.<br />
Now the pair will go<br />
wheel to wheel for this<br />
year’s 86 championship<br />
title.<br />
“Before round one, I<br />
knew that Tom was going<br />
to be the guy to beat. He’s<br />
won it before and he’s<br />
always been a good driver,”<br />
said Mulligan.<br />
“It’s going to be a good<br />
battle throughout the<br />
season.”<br />
Alexander – who won<br />
the 86 championship in<br />
2014-15 and is now based<br />
in Auckland – claimed<br />
on Saturday are high,<br />
particularly given the<br />
talent on offer and the<br />
calibre of equipment.<br />
“It’s as good as you will<br />
see anywhere and it’s<br />
amazing that, 10 years<br />
ago, there were just six<br />
entrants for the South<br />
Island championship. <strong>The</strong><br />
attraction of the series is<br />
the $100,000 prize and<br />
travel pool,” said Daly.<br />
Another local driver<br />
who will fancy his<br />
chances will be three-time<br />
New Zealand modified<br />
champion Luke Keegan.<br />
He’s in his second season<br />
CONTENDERS:<br />
Tom Alexander<br />
in front of<br />
Jack Milligan<br />
in race two at<br />
Pukekohe on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Old friends battle it<br />
out on the race track<br />
two wins at the weekend<br />
to leave Pukekohe with the<br />
championship lead. Milligan<br />
is second overall after<br />
a win in the opening race<br />
and a podium finish.<br />
Milligan won the 12-lap<br />
opening race on Saturday<br />
with Alexander in third.<br />
In race two, it was<br />
Alexander’s turn to swarm<br />
through to the lead in<br />
light rain. He was followed<br />
home by Milligan who had<br />
a strong start to move up<br />
the grid after starting in<br />
eighth.<br />
In race three, Alexander<br />
again held off a challenge<br />
from Mulligan. On the<br />
back straight, Milligan<br />
made a bold move to go<br />
around the outside of Alexander,<br />
who held his line<br />
and his lead as Milligan<br />
slid onto the grass and<br />
ended the race in eighth.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pair will now head<br />
to Taupo for the next<br />
round in early December<br />
where both are expected to<br />
feature at the front.<br />
“Jack proved last year<br />
that he’s got speed. I’d love<br />
it if it turns out to be a<br />
battle between myself and<br />
Jack,” said Alexander.<br />
of sprint car racing and<br />
possesses a great race<br />
temperament. Keegan is<br />
prepared to wait for opportunities<br />
and, in the frenetic<br />
action which comes with<br />
sprint car racing, that is a<br />
huge asset. Last Saturday,<br />
Keegan timed his run<br />
to perfection coming in<br />
second behind Anderson<br />
in the feature.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> pits will be jam<br />
packed and we have had to<br />
put in an extra heat race to<br />
accommodate the entries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> time trials, which start<br />
at 6pm, will sort the heat<br />
race groups,” said Daly.

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

to name their squads by mid-<br />
December, which is one reason<br />
why the regional tournament was<br />
moved forward.<br />
Due to the double-up, New<br />
Zealand Cricket will now have<br />
selectors at both tournaments,<br />
ensuring no player is disadvantaged<br />
by their choice to represent<br />
their school or region.<br />
CBHS students Louie Chapman<br />
and Mitchell Hay will join<br />
up the with the Canterbury team<br />
following the tournament in<br />
Palmerston North. However, it’s<br />
likely several other CBHS students<br />
would have made the team<br />
as well and their absence will<br />
leave Canterbury under strength.<br />
“We’re probably missing out on<br />
two players that would have been<br />
involved but, at the same time,<br />
it’s a great opportunity to give<br />
an opportunity to a couple of<br />
younger guys,” said Canterbury<br />
Cricket performance squad<br />
coach Dion Ebrahim.<br />
This year’s First XI Cup<br />
title will be contested by CBHS,<br />
HIBS, Palmerston North Boys’<br />
High, Otago Boys’ High, Tauranga<br />
Boys’ College, and Auckland’s<br />
Rosmini College. <strong>The</strong> under-19<br />
Cricket World Cup takes place<br />
around New Zealand from January<br />
12 to February 8.<br />
Mates meet on course<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
AFTER LOSING to one of his<br />
best mates in the New Zealand<br />
amateur golf championship final<br />
on Sunday, Tom Parker was<br />
quick to get the last laugh on the<br />
pool table.<br />
Parker, 17, took on Wellington’s<br />
Daniel Hiller, 19, in the<br />
36-hole championship final at<br />
Russley. Although it was the first<br />
time they had been paired up on<br />
the golf course over the five-day<br />
championship, they were housemates<br />
all week.<br />
Since 2015, their friendship<br />
has seen Hillier stay with Parker<br />
when he’s playing in Christchurch<br />
while Parker does the same<br />
in Wellington.<br />
Hillier made a fast start on<br />
Sunday as their friendship was<br />
put aside on the course. He recorded<br />
seven birdies and an eagle<br />
through the first 14 holes to<br />
jump to an early seven up lead.<br />
He eventually went on to win 10<br />
holes up with nine to play.<br />
“It was played in really good<br />
spirits. <strong>The</strong>re could be worse<br />
people to see win it I’m sure,”<br />
said Parker.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir competitive streak didn’t<br />
end there, though. Pool and<br />
table tennis occupy their time off<br />
the course and Parker recorded a<br />
bitter-sweet victory in his garage<br />
before Hiller left for Malaysia to<br />
MATES: Daniel Hillier (left)<br />
took down Tom Parker in<br />
the New Zealand Amateur<br />
Championship final.<br />
compete in the Nomura Cup.<br />
“We’re normally pretty even<br />
on the pool table, but I got him<br />
that evening. Maybe he was<br />
sympathetic and gave it to me,”<br />
Parker joked.<br />
After a scratchy start to the<br />
tournament, Parker nailed two<br />
6m-plus putts on the 17th and<br />
18th holes in the final round of<br />
stroke play to finish 32nd, just<br />
allowing him to advance to the<br />
final 32 match play elimination<br />
round.<br />
On his way to the final, Parker<br />
defeated Scott Hellier, James<br />
Hydes, Oscar Cadenhead and<br />
Hayato Miya in match play.<br />

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

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