A CANTERBURY University law<br />

student being investigated for a<br />

sexual assault has been allowed to<br />

go overseas on a study-related trip.<br />

Bu the university’s dean of<br />

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to<br />

discuss the matter.<br />

“I can’t comment<br />

about any<br />

of this because<br />

of confidentiality<br />

and privacy,” she<br />

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

yesterday.<br />

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

learned a female<br />

student has laid<br />

a complaint abou the accused<br />

being allowed to go on the trip.<br />

It is understood it is no the<br />

same person who has laid the<br />

sexual assault complain to the<br />

police.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has been told it is a<br />

rape investigation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> sent a number of questions<br />

to Canterbury University<br />

yesterday but none would be answered.<br />

Said Canterbury University<br />

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:<br />

“UC cannot respond to allegations<br />

that are before the police.”<br />

She referred the questions<br />

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was<br />

turned off.<br />

Police would also not comment<br />

on the matter.<br />

Unusual places to find e-scooters<br />

LIME SCOOTERS which are left<br />

turning up in rather unusual<br />

places.<br />

A Facebook page called<br />

Limes in Weird Places has been<br />

created and shows pictures of the<br />

e-scooters stuck in surprising<br />

locations.<br />

One picture showed one of the<br />

scooters at the bottom of a pool<br />

and another titled ‘Limelight’<br />

with a scooter hanging upside<br />

down from a street lamp.<br />

Other pictures show a scooter<br />

in a shower, three stuck in a tree<br />

and another sitting on a window<br />

balcony.<br />

<strong>The</strong> page has more than 1000<br />

‘likes’ and asks for people to<br />

submit their pictures.<br />

<strong>The</strong> electric scooters are part of<br />

Minister for Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Megan Woods to<br />

change the District Plan using her<br />

powers under section 71 of the<br />

Greater Christchurch Regeneration<br />

Act. <strong>The</strong> proposal clarifies the policy<br />

needed to support the Residential<br />

people with vacant sites to rebuild<br />

houses without the need for a<br />

ONE OF New Zealand’s bestknown<br />

radio partnerships is<br />

reuniting for Newstalk ZB in 2<strong>01</strong>9.<br />

Rugby writer, author, radio host<br />

and Newstalk ZB contributor Phil<br />

Gifford will join Simon Barnett<br />

on Newstalk ZB for afternoons<br />

noon-4pm from mid-2<strong>01</strong>9.<br />

NZME head of talk Jason<br />

Winstanley said many people<br />

would remember the ‘Si and Phil’<br />

show on air in Christchurch and<br />

Dunedin.<br />

“When it comes to powerhouse<br />

breakfast shows, Simon and Phil<br />

dominated the air waves. It was a<br />

winning combination due to their<br />

genuine approach and their friendship<br />

off air, and Newstalk ZB is excited<br />

to be able to bring this combo<br />

back on air across the country.”<br />

Gifford said joining Barnett on<br />

Newstalk ZB was a return to the<br />

best times he ever enjoyed in radio.<br />

“Simon was like family to me, basically<br />

the annoying kid brother I<br />

never had. Time hasn’t changed that<br />

bond at all, and working together<br />

again is an amazing opportunity.”<br />

Barnett was a long-time<br />

A COMMUNITY board will<br />

go behind closed doors to<br />

decide whether it will continue<br />

spending ratepayer money on<br />

food for its fortnightly meetings.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board has<br />

munched through more than<br />

$10,000 since it was elected in<br />

October 2<strong>01</strong>6 – the highest spend<br />

of any of the city council’s seven<br />

community boards, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

revealed last week.<br />

<strong>The</strong> food is available at its<br />

board meetings for board<br />

members, and city council staff<br />

and members of the public who<br />

attend.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

said members will discuss the<br />

catering costs at their next meeting<br />

on <strong>November</strong> 13, but it will<br />

be public excluded.<br />

“It’s an internal matter. I don’t<br />

see the need that it needs to be<br />

[public].”<br />

“It’s a discussion we need<br />

to have to gauge each other’s<br />

responses as to what they see as<br />

our needs,” Mr Mora said.<br />

Board member Debbie Mora<br />

is against the idea of discussing<br />

Ms Broughton felt if the<br />

discussion is held behind closed<br />

doors, members would be more<br />

open about how they felt about<br />

catering.<br />

“I’ve given an understanding<br />

to other board members that it<br />

will be an offline discussion,” she<br />

said.<br />

But if the catering discussion is<br />

deferred again at the next meeting,<br />

Ms Broughton said she will<br />

file a notice of motion to discuss<br />

it publicly.<br />

Ms Broughton also felt her<br />

board spent “too much” on<br />

catering.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Time to buy property as listings grow<br />

• By Julia Evans and<br />

Sophie Cornish<br />

IT’S A buyer’s market for<br />

properties in Canterbury.<br />

Figures released by realestate.<br />

co.nz yesterday show Canterbury<br />

as continuing to be one of the most<br />

active markets in the country.<br />

A big climb in new listings<br />

and a drop in asking prices are<br />

making the market more attractive<br />

to buyers, said realestate.<br />

co.nz spokeswoman Vanessa<br />

Taylor.<br />

Ms Taylor calls Canterbury a<br />

“unique region” and said there<br />

have been a number of times this<br />

year the region has bucked other<br />

main city trends, this month it<br />

has a similar profile to the Auckland,<br />

Central Otago/Lakes and<br />

Wellington regions.<br />

Harcourts real estate agent<br />

Cameron Bailey said the whole<br />

market was busy – from first<br />

home buyers to those looking for<br />

luxury.<br />

“I’d say it is a fair market. It’s<br />

a market for realistic sellers and<br />

there are really good opportunities<br />

for buyers too,” he said.<br />

But Mr Bailey said while it was<br />

busy, the city’s property market<br />

had finally recovered from the<br />

earthquake.<br />

“We’ve come off an artificial<br />

market. I’d say it has dropped<br />

back into a normal market. From<br />

a buyer’s point of view Christchurch<br />

is a beautiful city to live in<br />

and there’s so much cool stuff<br />

happening.”<br />

New listings in Canterbury<br />

lifted 12.3 per cent to 1776, while<br />

the average asking price dropped<br />

2.7 per cent to $498,208.<br />

In the past month the Canterbury<br />

region had more than<br />

44,000 unique browsers looking<br />

at property.<br />

Mr Bailey said there was a<br />

lot of housing stock in the city,<br />

which meant buyers could be<br />

more picky as to how they spend<br />

money.<br />

“People can be more price<br />

sensitive and pay what a house is<br />

worth, not always what the buyer<br />

wants. It gives them more opportunities<br />

and more choice.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> most popular suburbs<br />

searched were Fendalton, Rangiora,<br />

the central city, Cashmere,<br />

then Rolleston.<br />

MARKET:<br />

Harcourts real<br />

estate agent<br />

Cameron Bailey<br />

with a property<br />

in Wood Lane,<br />

Fendalton,<br />

which is one<br />

of the most<br />

popular suburbs<br />

along with the<br />

central city<br />

(above).<br />

“Cantabrians remain the<br />

biggest searchers for property<br />

within the region, which is<br />

no surprise. <strong>The</strong>y’re followed<br />

by property seekers from the<br />

Auckland, Otago and Wellington<br />

regions.<br />

Mr Bailey said the central city<br />

was popular for convenience.<br />

Suburbs such as Fendalton and<br />

Cashmere were close to town,<br />

but also allowed for a suburban<br />

lifestyle.<br />

“However, there is also interest<br />

from Australia, with New<br />

South Wales and Queensland<br />

registering the next highest levels<br />

of seekers after the main New<br />

Zealand centres,” said Ms<br />

Taylor.<br />

Mr Bailey said he’d had a lot of<br />

interest from Australia and the<br />

United Kingdom in particular for<br />

the last few years.<br />

“People are seeing an<br />

opportunity from the rebuild<br />

and coming back to the city,” he<br />

said.<br />

Mortgage broker Sam Parsons<br />

said first home buyers are the<br />

biggest market for his business<br />

right now.<br />

“We are still finding the first<br />

home market to be extremely<br />

strong. <strong>The</strong>re is still a lot of<br />

first home buyers entering the<br />

market. But there is less in the<br />

way of investors and older age<br />

bracket, second-home purchasing<br />

going on, which is generally for<br />

investment properties.”<br />

Don’t leave it until<br />

it’s too late to get your<br />

home’s earthquake<br />

repairs checked.<br />

Timeball special for CTV survivor<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

MARYANNE Jackson survived<br />

the tragedy of the CTV building<br />

collapse in the February 22, 2<strong>01</strong>1,<br />

earthquake.<br />

THe site will forever hold<br />

emotional memories for the Mt<br />

Pleasant woman.<br />

Tomorrow, another quakedevasted<br />

site will also hold<br />

special memories when the<br />

rebuilt Lyttelton Timeball tower<br />

is reopened.<br />

Her grandmother Gertrude<br />

was born there in 1889 while her<br />

great-grandfather John Richard<br />

Toomey was the flag-signalman.<br />

“We were always told about<br />

it and we often went there,” Ms<br />

Jackson said.<br />

“It was like our castle on the<br />

hill . . . it was close to our heart.<br />

A great connection that we are<br />

very proud of.”<br />

Ms Jackson and her brother<br />

John McKenna, a Lytteltonbased<br />

ship’s captain, would<br />

attend the opening ceremony.<br />

THe tower was almost<br />

completely destroyed along with<br />

the station building during the<br />

February 22 earthquake and<br />

subsequent aftershocks.<br />

Only the tower section of the<br />

1876-built structure could be<br />

saved, the $3 million restoration<br />

project began in July last<br />

year. Work on the tower and<br />

flagpole finished in June, while<br />

landscaping work finished this<br />

week.<br />

Ms Jackson was the only CTV<br />

employee in the building to<br />

escape when the magnitude 6.3<br />

DESCENDANT:<br />

Maryanne Jackson<br />

with a painting of<br />

the Timeball Station<br />

which belonged to her<br />

mother.<br />

earthquake struck.<br />

She ran from her ground-floor<br />

desk when the shaking began.<br />

<strong>The</strong> building collapsed behind<br />

her claiming 16 of her colleagues.<br />

In total, ​115 people were killed<br />

in the central city building, the<br />

Madras St site of which is now a<br />

memorial to those who died.<br />

RETURNING: <strong>The</strong> Lyttelton Timeball<br />

tower reopens to the public tomorrow.<br />

Ms Jackson said her mother<br />

Hilary would be very upset to<br />

know the fate of the Timeball<br />

Station.<br />

“I would like to see it all<br />

rebuilt, but it’s great to see it back<br />

up on the side of the hill.”<br />

Ms Jackson said seeing the<br />

tower restored returned “a bit of<br />

normalcy” to the port.<br />

THe years where the iconic<br />

structure was not visible on the<br />

hill had been “upsetting,” she<br />

said.<br />

Ms Jackson’s great-grandfather<br />

John Richard Toomey was the<br />

first flag-signalman to live in the<br />

Timeball Station, taking the post<br />

in 1879 at the age of 15.<br />

Signalmen used coloured flags<br />

to communicate between ships<br />

and the port.<br />

John Richard<br />

Toomey<br />

Mr Toomey taught himself both<br />

local and international flag signals<br />

as well as Morse code and other<br />

tools of the signalman’s trade.<br />

“Quite clever really, but he<br />

would have learned a lot from<br />

his father Peter Michael Toomey<br />

who was a sea captain,” Ms<br />

Jackson said.<br />

Signalmen worked from the<br />

tower until 1934, when they were<br />

replaced by radio.<br />

Mr Toomey later moved his<br />

family to Adderley Heads where<br />

he held another signalman’s<br />

position, before moving back to<br />

Lyttelton itself.<br />

“Our family has always lived in<br />

Lyttelton,” Ms Jackson said.<br />

“THe sea has always been in<br />

our blood. I always have to live<br />

near the sea.”<br />

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

<strong>The</strong> aftermath of being hooked on<br />

Synthetic drugs have<br />

possibly caused two<br />

deaths in Christchurch<br />

and put many others<br />

in hospital. Reporter<br />

Sophie Cornish talks to<br />

a recovering addict<br />

AT THE height of her addiction,<br />

Samantha Tye lost her children,<br />

family and ended up in jail.<br />

Now, after eight years on<br />

synthetic drugs, Miss Tye has<br />

been clean for eight months,<br />

however, she still lives with the<br />

effects of her drug use.<br />

Miss Tye no longer has custody<br />

of her two children, aged nine<br />

and six-years-old and suffers<br />

from depression and anxiety.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 24-year-old moved away<br />

from Christchurch to Invercargill<br />

to get clean at the beginning of<br />

the year.<br />

When she first tried synthetic<br />

cannabis it was still legal to buy<br />

in New Zealand.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n known as ‘legal highs,’<br />

the drugs were banned in 2<strong>01</strong>4,<br />

with the introduction of the<br />

Psychoactive Substances Act.<br />

<strong>The</strong> synthetic drugs were<br />

more appealing to Miss Tye,<br />

being cheaper and stronger than<br />

normal cannabis.<br />

IN RECOVERY: Samantha Tye was hooked on synthetic drugs for eight years before she went cold turkey eight months ago.<br />

“I’m not exactly sure when I first<br />

started smoking it . . . my friend<br />

who used to smoke it one day<br />

offered me a puff to try it and I got<br />

hooked . . . it gave me a better buzz<br />

than weed did, it was way stronger<br />

and you were more high for a<br />

longer period of time,” she said.<br />

A bag of the drugs could be<br />

purchased for as low as $10.<br />

Her addiction led her to<br />

shoplifting, a criminal record and<br />

eventually to jail, in 2<strong>01</strong>5.<br />

Miss Tye received a six-month<br />

sentence for shoplifting offences.<br />

She would sell stolen goods to<br />

support her addiction.<br />

Prior to this, Child Youth and<br />

Family became involved with her<br />

son in 2<strong>01</strong>4, and he was taken off<br />

her.<br />

He has lived with his adoptive<br />

parents for five years.<br />

Her daughter has lived with<br />

Miss Tye’s sister for eight years.<br />

Her family tried to get Miss Tye<br />

clean throughout her addiction<br />

period, however, she admits she<br />

pushed them away.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y did try and help me but<br />

eventually, they stepped back.<br />

I was so involved with heaps of<br />

people on the drugs and pushed<br />

my whole family away.”<br />

After a recent death of a friend,<br />

who she didn’t wish to name,<br />

Miss Tye wants the message out<br />

about how dangerous synthetic<br />

drugs can be.<br />

During her detox process,<br />

which lasted about two weeks,<br />

Miss Tye was left shaking,<br />

spewing, sweating and screaming<br />

at the walls.<br />

“I basically shut myself away at<br />

home, away from everyone and<br />

just did it on my own. I had to<br />

barricade myself in my room<br />

. . . after two weeks I woke up and<br />

felt like a cigarette and a big feed<br />

of fish ’n’ chips. So that’s what I<br />

did and I never looked back.”<br />

SYNTHETIC FACTS<br />

•Since September,<br />

more than 30 people<br />

have been admitted to<br />

Christchurch Hospital<br />

as a result of synthetic<br />

drug use.<br />

•About six people<br />

were admitted to the<br />

intensive care unit.<br />

•A Canterbury<br />

District Health Board<br />

spokesman said the<br />

rate of presentation of<br />

patients showing signs<br />

of synthetic drug use<br />

her to a job as a junior<br />

chef.<br />

“I’m going to stay in<br />

Timaru and set myself up<br />

here for a better life in this<br />

remains at one to two<br />

per day.<br />

•This prompted<br />

police to raid six<br />

properties and charge<br />

five people with<br />

supplying psychoactive<br />

substances.<br />

•It is believed that two<br />

people have died from<br />

synthetic drug use in<br />

Christchurch, one on<br />

October 1 and one on<br />

October 3.<br />

•<strong>The</strong> deaths cannot be<br />

attributed to synthetic<br />

smaller town. If I moved<br />

back to Christchurch I<br />

feel I would be do a whole<br />

180deg turn and go back to<br />

synthetics.”<br />

drugs until toxicology<br />

results are returned<br />

from the coroner.<br />

•<strong>The</strong> New Zealand<br />

Drug Foundation says<br />

there are hundreds of<br />

synthetic cannabinoids,<br />

all invented in the<br />

past 20 years. Like<br />

cannabis, they target<br />

the cannabinoid<br />

receptors in the brain.<br />

Road patroller to artist<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

KATIE TEMPLE never<br />

thought her job as a roadpatroller<br />

would lead her to<br />

creating inspiring artwork.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 10-year-old is<br />

the youngest ever<br />

winner of the junior section<br />

of this year’s SCAPE<br />

Public Art Re:Activate<br />

competition.<br />

Her art piece titled<br />

Changing Pathways was<br />

inspired by the signs she<br />

uses in her role as a roadpatroller<br />

at Thorrington<br />

Primary School.<br />

Both sides of the<br />

‘lollipop’ Katie carries as<br />

she helps children cross the<br />

road safely has a different<br />

message on it.<br />

“On one side of the road<br />

patrol sign it says ‘thanks<br />

for stopping’ and on the<br />

other side it says, ‘have a<br />

nice day’. So that’s where I<br />

got the idea of using signs.”<br />

she said.<br />

Katie’s artwork has two<br />

signs, which relate to our<br />

everyday choices, which<br />

she wanted to highlight,<br />

such as walking, biking<br />

and how we use water.<br />

Katie’s mother Kimala<br />

Temple admits Katie has<br />

been “quietly excited” by<br />

all the comments on her<br />

artwork and how far her<br />

message has gone.<br />

“During SCAPE’s grand<br />

opening, a professor from<br />

Massey University told<br />

Katie that her artwork<br />

was inspiring and some of<br />

the best she had seen. She<br />

took photos to show her<br />

students,” she said.<br />

SCAPE spokeswoman<br />

Carolyne Grant said Katie<br />

is the youngest winner<br />

they have ever had in the<br />

competition.<br />

“Katie is excited to have<br />

her artwork in Hagley<br />

Park, to get attention and<br />

provoke thoughts on all the<br />

subjects especially around<br />

the environment, people<br />

and animals of the world,”<br />

she said.<br />

Keeping the old skills alive<br />

While machines serve<br />

us at supermarkets<br />

and make almost all of<br />

the products we use<br />

every day, the traditions<br />

of old are still being<br />

kept alive by a select<br />

few craftspeople. Julia<br />

Evans reports<br />

CAN YOU carve a mandolin out<br />

of a piece of wood?<br />

How about weave a harakeke<br />

basket, make your own soap or<br />

bind a book?<br />

It’s old practices like these that<br />

being preserved by craftspeople<br />

around the city and their place<br />

in 2<strong>01</strong>8 will be showcased during<br />

next week’s Necessary Traditions<br />

festival.<br />

From shoemaking, Windsor<br />

chair making, rag-rug making,<br />

blacksmithing,<br />

willow basketwork,<br />

pin-hole<br />

photography<br />

and sourdough<br />

baking. To<br />

soap making,<br />

cup, bowl and<br />

Juliet Arnott<br />

spoon carving,<br />

reforestation,<br />

darning, preserving and fermenting,<br />

heritage building techniques,<br />

raranga harakeke weaving, bookbinding<br />

and ceramics.<br />

It sounds like the start of a<br />

poem – only missing a butcher, a<br />

baker and a candlestick maker.<br />

<strong>The</strong> festival at the Arts Centre<br />

is the first of its kind.<br />

For ceramicist Tatyanna<br />

Meharry the event is about<br />

passing on a skill she was taught<br />

by her grandmother.<br />

“I grew up in a really creative<br />

family, my grandmother was an<br />

artist and a potter. I remember<br />

we were allowed to go into her<br />

studio and make the world’s ugliest<br />

pots when we were young,”<br />

she said.<br />

“If you couldn’t make it in our<br />

family, you couldn’t have it.”<br />

Meharry said keeping traditional<br />

craft alive was important<br />

in the 21st-century.<br />

“It’s really important because<br />

we live in a consumer society.<br />

It’s bit of a monster really. With<br />

mass-made consumer products<br />

you’re less likely to understand<br />

the story behind them and so just<br />

throw them out,” she said.<br />

However, Meharry’s work connect<br />

the item to the location it<br />

was sourced from.<br />

She uses local raw clay materials<br />

to create bowls that look like<br />

landscapes when fired.<br />

“I collect resources from<br />

around New Zealand, particularly<br />

Canterbury. I’m passionate<br />

about resources, you have to<br />

create items that are treasures,”<br />

she said.<br />

Meharry said her work aimed<br />

to create a sense of location and<br />

place, as well as knowing exactly<br />

where all the materials came<br />

from.<br />

“Bowls that are mass-produced<br />

are made of other countries’ resources.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re not bad, but you<br />

don’t value them.”<br />

A sustainable future meant<br />

taking time to consider where<br />

products came from and crafts<br />

such as ceramics and pottery<br />

were vital to that, she said.<br />

During the festival, Meharry<br />

will be giving a talk, hosting a<br />

public demonstration about her<br />

work and running workshops.<br />

While most people pop down<br />

to the store to buy a packet of<br />

shocking pink pegs to hang their<br />

washing out and a rake to boot,<br />

Greg Quinn makes his own.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> process of making them<br />

is as valuable to me as the end<br />

product. It’s a bonus that you get<br />

a usable product at the end,” he<br />

said.<br />

“I’ve experimented over the<br />

years and made lots of useless<br />

items.”<br />

Quinn said the consumerism<br />

boom was over and people were<br />

looking to a sustainable future.<br />

“A time may come in the<br />

future where you have to look<br />

for a shoemaker or whoever and<br />

they won’t be there if we don’t<br />

continue to support them now,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It’s all about keeping these<br />

crafts alive and keeping them<br />

relevant.”<br />

Festival organiser Juliet Arnott<br />

said the festival was unique as it<br />

set out to celebrate crafts in the<br />

context of the future.<br />

“We try to keep the traditions<br />

alive because they’re important<br />

for various reasons. But also<br />

we actually need some of these<br />

things for the future. It’s not just<br />

tradition for traditions sake.”<br />

But she said a lot of her<br />

inspiration came from watching<br />

craftspeople work in the Arts<br />

Centre before the earthquakes.<br />

“Its all about getting people to<br />

come along and watch the magic<br />

in seeing a material start in one<br />

state and finish in another.”<br />

IN AWE: Sam and Rosie Averill will take part in Sunday’s event to<br />

remember the liberation of a small French town.<br />

Great-grandchildren of<br />

WW1 hero will be present<br />

at commemoration<br />

CHRISTCHURCH<br />

teenagers Rosie and Sam<br />

Averill will help mark the<br />

day – exactly 100 years<br />

ago – that their greatgrandfather<br />

took the first<br />

steps towards the liberation<br />

of a small French town.<br />

Leslie Averill was only<br />

a few years older than the<br />

pair when he became the<br />

first man to scale the ramparts<br />

of Le Quesnoy, climbing<br />

a precariously placed<br />

ladder to help surprise the<br />

German occupiers and seal<br />

a spot in the history of the<br />

Great War.<br />

That brave act by 21-yearold<br />

Lieutenant Averill and<br />

his fellow New Zealand<br />

Division soldiers will be<br />

commemorated with the<br />

unveiling of a plaque in<br />

Christchurch’s Park of<br />

Remembrance on Sunday<br />

at 5pm.<br />

For many, it was a young<br />

nation’s finest hour of<br />

World War 1.<br />

Both Rosie, 16, and her<br />

cousin, Sam, 15, are “very<br />

proud to have the Averill<br />

name.”<br />

“We are both in awe of<br />

our great-grandfather,” Rosie<br />

said. “It must have been<br />

utterly terrifying, putting<br />

your life on the line to help<br />

free a town.”<br />

For Sam, his greatgrandfather’s<br />

feat is “incredibly<br />

impressive.”<br />

“It’s cool that people<br />

think of my family name<br />

so highly, particularly in Le<br />

Quesnoy,” he said.<br />

Both Rosie and Sam have<br />

Leslie Averill<br />

visited the fortress town in<br />

northern France, and plan<br />

to return.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y view their trip to Le<br />

Quesnoy as a pilgrimage,<br />

“a rite of passage for all<br />

family members.”<br />

“Imagine being there for<br />

the 150th anniversary,”<br />

says Rosie, who hopes to<br />

follow her great-grandfather<br />

into the medical<br />

profession.<br />

On Sunday, Sam<br />

and Rosie will join<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel,<br />

Christchurch Memorial<br />

RSA vice-president Jim<br />

Lilley, Lieutenant Colonel<br />

Kendall Langston and<br />

the Honorary Consuls<br />

for France, Martine<br />

Marshall-Durieux, and<br />

Belgium, Lieve Bierque,<br />

for the unveiling and tree<br />

planting.<br />

However, 70 Averill<br />

family members will be<br />

in Le Quesnoy that day<br />

as the citizens remember<br />

the heroic actions of the<br />

New Zealand Rifle Brigade<br />

soldiers from the other side<br />

of the world.<br />

While there was no loss<br />

of civilian life, 130 New<br />

Zealanders were killed in<br />

the push to free the town.<br />

A century later, visitors<br />

can wander down Rue du<br />

Docteur Averill and past<br />

L’école maternelle du Docteur<br />

Averill.<br />

Work is also under way<br />

to transform the former<br />

mayor’s residence in the<br />

town into a memorial<br />

museum commemorating<br />

New Zealand’s role in battles<br />

on the Western Front.<br />

Leslie Averill – by then a<br />

well-known Christchurch<br />

doctor – often returned to<br />

the town.<br />

Following the war, he<br />

had won a New Zealand<br />

Expeditionary Force scholarship<br />

to study medicine<br />

at the University of Edinburgh.<br />

In 1926, Dr Averill was<br />

appointed as the first<br />

executive of St George’s<br />

Hospital, holding that role<br />

for more than 40 years. He<br />

would continue to introduce<br />

new ideas on surgery and<br />

patient care in Canterbury<br />

for many years.<br />

In 1973, the French<br />

government made Dr<br />

Averill a Chevalier de la<br />

Légion d’honneur – one<br />

of the nation’s highest<br />

honours. He died in<br />

Christchurch on June 4,<br />

1981, aged 84.

Board chairman Sam<br />

MacDonald, who remained<br />

tight-lipped on the issue<br />

before the meeting, said it<br />

was “purely” a governance<br />

matter.<br />

“Having an effective and<br />

efficient community board<br />

is of the utmost importance<br />

and if we are to see<br />

changes and improvements<br />

in our city then we need<br />

He will remain as a<br />

member on the board for<br />

the rest of the term.<br />

City council head of<br />

community support, governance<br />

John Filsell said in his<br />

experience this is the first<br />

time action of this nature<br />

has occurred.<br />

It comes after <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Star</strong> revealed the board had<br />

filed a notice of motion<br />

with city council chief<br />

executive Karleen Edwards<br />

to have Mr Campbell<br />

removed after he spoke out<br />

of turn about the council’s<br />

membership of Water<br />

New Zealand during a<br />

board area report to city<br />

councillors. Mr Campbell<br />

apologised to the<br />

board for that<br />

“outburst” during<br />

the meeting<br />

on Monday.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are also<br />

wider personality<br />

conflicts on<br />

been clashes over<br />

the Denton Park<br />

Dr Edwards and Mayor<br />

Lianne Dalziel also<br />

Conserve water<br />

or face chlorine<br />

29 th October to 4 th <strong>November</strong> 2<strong>01</strong>8<br />

RESIDENTS IN areas<br />

where water is no longer<br />

chlorinated may see<br />

treatment resume over<br />

summer — unless people<br />

across the city reduce how<br />

much they use.<br />

To cope with the traditional<br />

surge in demand<br />

over summer, the city<br />

council said it may need to<br />

draw water from wells that<br />

have not been signed off as<br />

secure.<br />

If that happens, all water<br />

provided from that pump<br />

station will need to be<br />

chlorinated.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is no way to separate<br />

the water from the<br />

secure wells which doesn’t<br />

need to be chlorinated<br />

from that supplied<br />

from the unsecure<br />

below ground<br />

well heads, which<br />

will need to be<br />

treated,” said city<br />

council water<br />

supply improvement<br />

programme<br />

manager Helen<br />

Beaumont.<br />

“What’s important<br />

for people<br />

to understand is we need<br />

them to reduce how much<br />

water they use so we can<br />

keep working on upgrading<br />

well heads. Being able<br />

to work over summer is<br />

essential if we’re going to<br />

have any chance of removing<br />

chlorine within the 12<br />

month deadline.”<br />

If consumption isn’t<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

THE BANKS Peninsula<br />

Community Board is<br />

seeking more information<br />

from the Lyttelton<br />

Port Company after it<br />

responded to questions<br />

about efforts to mitigate<br />

the impact on Hector’s<br />

dolphins from pile driving.<br />

Said community board<br />

member Felix Dawson:<br />

“We’ve simply asked<br />

for the answers to the<br />

questions that we asked,<br />

several we haven’t received<br />

answers to.”<br />

Last week, questions<br />

from were sent to LPC<br />

through Christchurch<br />

City Holdings Ltd, the<br />

owner and operator of the<br />

port, on how the negative<br />

impacts to dolphins from<br />

pile driving work on the<br />

new cruise berth would be<br />

mitigated.<br />

Helen<br />

Beaumont<br />

UPGRADE: <strong>The</strong> city council is warning residents<br />

to conserve water or it will have to put<br />

restrictions in place and treat unchlorinated<br />

wells.<br />

reduced enough, the city<br />

council will consider<br />

introducing water restrictions.<br />

“We’re hopeful<br />

we won’t<br />

need to go that<br />

far because the<br />

community has<br />

indicated it was<br />

prepared to save<br />

water this summer<br />

if it means<br />

we can get the<br />

work done and<br />

end temporary<br />

chlorination sooner,” Ms<br />

Beaumont said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council did a<br />

survey and about twothirds<br />

of people said they<br />

would be prepared to<br />

reduce water use while<br />

nearly 80 per cent were in<br />

favour of restrictions.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are nine<br />

unchlorinated pump<br />

THey were sent alongside<br />

a city council request for<br />

an update on the piling<br />

operation and marine<br />

mammal monitoring to<br />

date.<br />

THis week the<br />

community board<br />

requested a number of<br />

questions be re-sent to<br />

LPC, seeking sound<br />

recording and noise level<br />

data, the marine mammal<br />

management plan and<br />

information on marine<br />

observers.<br />

A city council<br />

spokeswoman said any<br />

further questions would<br />

be co-ordinated through<br />

the office of chief executive<br />

Karleen Edwards.<br />

Hector’s and Māui<br />

Dolphin Defenders<br />

committee member<br />

Genevieve Robinson told<br />

the community board on<br />

Monday that “raw data”<br />

stations around the city,<br />

primarily in the east and<br />

nor-west.<br />

“Over winter, we have<br />

been able to rely on the<br />

secure above ground<br />

well heads at these pump<br />

stations. However, when<br />

usage goes up, we need<br />

to reintroduce the below<br />

ground wells that are yet<br />

to be upgraded, which<br />

means the water requires<br />

chlorination.”<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are four sites with<br />

only above ground well<br />

heads — Gardiners, Estuary,<br />

Keyes and Prestons.<br />

Water from these will not<br />

be chlorinated.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council is<br />

encouraging hand-held<br />

watering only for lawns and<br />

gardens on alternate days.<br />

Watering should take<br />

place between 9pm and<br />

7am.<br />

Further clarification sought on<br />

pile driving impact on dolphins<br />

was needed.<br />

“I’ve received the<br />

information that LPC<br />

has provided . . . there’s<br />

some useful information<br />

but there’s some key<br />

information missing,” Ms<br />

Robinson said.<br />

In response to the initial<br />

questions, LPC chief<br />

executive Peter Davie said<br />

LPC was working with<br />

some of the country’s<br />

“leading marine mammal<br />

and acoustics experts” to<br />

minimise the effects of pile<br />

driving on dolphins.<br />

Mitigation steps included<br />

18 months of recorded<br />

data from eight passive<br />

acoustic detectors and four<br />

hydrophones, a monitored<br />

exclusion zone that if a<br />

dolphin enters, work will<br />

cease and “soft starts” to<br />

allow dolphins time to<br />

evacuate the harbour when<br />

work starts.<br />

Bid to bring<br />

psychologist<br />

to Dallington<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

AUSTRALIAN disaster recovery<br />

expert and psychologist Dr Rob<br />

Gordon could be brought in<br />

to investigate ongoing social<br />

isolation issues in Dallington<br />

following the February 22, 2<strong>01</strong>1,<br />

earthquake.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board will meet<br />

next week to plan how to make<br />

bringing a disaster psychologist<br />

into Dallington will come into<br />

fruition.<br />

A seminar will be held to<br />

consider bringing Dr Gordon<br />

to the city and the cost to do<br />

that. <strong>The</strong> meeting will also<br />

consider the current issues<br />

facing Dallington and the wider<br />

suburbs on the residential red<br />

zone fringe.<br />

It comes after the Dallington<br />

Community Trust has asked for<br />

funding from the board for a<br />

disaster psychologist.<br />

<strong>The</strong> trust wants the<br />

disaster psychologist to<br />

investigate the extent of the<br />

issue and turn it into a wellness<br />

programme.<br />

Understanding the money trail<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

FORMER investment banker<br />

and city councillor Raf Manji<br />

wants to make the city’s finances<br />

understandable.<br />

Cr Manji said as it stands the<br />

city council’s finances are totally<br />

unpalatable to the people they<br />

impact the most – ratepayers.<br />

He said finances were currently<br />

“static” and<br />

“opaque” and<br />

planned to have<br />

simpler layout<br />

and graphics<br />

to help make<br />

city council<br />

Raf Manji<br />

spending more<br />

digestible.<br />

In the 2<strong>01</strong>7-18<br />

financial year, the city council<br />

reported $13.1 billion in assets, its<br />

revenue was $992 million and its<br />

borrowing was $1.9 billion.<br />

It’s large figures like those, Cr<br />

Manji said were hard for residents<br />

to understand.<br />

Not only that, he said city<br />

councillors themselves struggle.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> issue for me is that it’s<br />

clearly problematic when councillors<br />

can’t understand them,”<br />

Cr Manji said.<br />

So he has been working on a<br />

plan to present the city council’s<br />

finances in terms that everyone<br />

understands.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> plans are to make the<br />

financial information more accessible<br />

. . . at the moment if you<br />

look at the info, it’s very difficult<br />

to understand. So I want to eventually<br />

get it online in things like<br />

simple pie charts and you will<br />

be slowly able to drill down into<br />

council spending,” he said.<br />

Cr Manji said the plan would<br />

be implemented in stages – starting<br />

with a new layout to this<br />

week’s finance and performance<br />

committee meeting agenda.<br />

“We’re spending a lot of time<br />

doing reports on things that no<br />

one ever reads,” he said.<br />

At a recent meeting Cr<br />

Manji, the city council’s finance<br />

spokesman, presented the annual<br />

report, which breaks down<br />

spending and income for the last<br />

year.<br />

He said he was “disappointed”<br />

there was no discussion on the<br />

250-page report.<br />

“Yet there was half an hour on<br />

FINANCES:<br />

City<br />

councillor Raf<br />

Manji wants<br />

ratepayers<br />

to be able<br />

to easily<br />

understand<br />

where their<br />

money is<br />

being spent.<br />

funding being approved,” he said.<br />

Cr Manji said the goal was to<br />

make future Annual Plans and<br />

Long Term Plans incredibly easy<br />

to understand.<br />

But he said it would also relate<br />

to the recent city council resident<br />

satisfaction survey, which<br />

revealed residents were unhappy<br />

with decision-making and did<br />

not feel like they could participate<br />

in council processes.<br />

“It’s clearly an area we can<br />

improve on and I think this<br />

would help,” he said.<br />

hits delay<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

OPERATORS OF the historic tug<br />

Lyttelton say their first passenger<br />

cruise will not happen until<br />

January, a month later than they<br />

had hoped.<br />

Tug Lyttelton Preservation Society<br />

head stoker Mike Bruce said<br />

the marine surveyor who oversaw<br />

the tug’s sea trials on October<br />

4 had given the society a list of<br />

items to address before they could<br />

carry passengers.<br />

Though the society had funding<br />

to address most of it, the time<br />

frame pushed the date back from<br />

December.<br />

“It’s nothing major, It’s just time<br />

and effort,” Mr Bruce said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> list included the need to<br />

add another emergency exit and<br />

update flotation devices, fire<br />

extinguishers, signage and communication<br />

equipment.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most difficult item to address<br />

on the list was the requirement<br />

for the lifeboat to be at least<br />

2.8m long and capable of travelling<br />

at 6km for two hours.<br />

Mr Bruce said the society would<br />

request an exemption for the<br />

lifeboat requirement.

Quake survey<br />

a bid to help<br />

evacuation<br />

planning<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

PEOPLE LIVING along the<br />

Brighton coastline who evacuated<br />

the night of the 2<strong>01</strong>6 Kaikoura<br />

earthquake are being called on to<br />

take part in a research project.<br />

Canterbury University is<br />

aiming to survey as many<br />

residents as possible to collect<br />

data on the tsunami evacuation<br />

response that took place following<br />

the magnitude 7.8 earthquake<br />

nearly two years ago.<br />

Matthew Hughes, one of the<br />

academics overseeing the project,<br />

said the survey isn’t about asking<br />

for opinions on the night of the<br />

earthquake, it is about what<br />

residents did in response to the<br />

tsunami hazard.<br />

<strong>The</strong> survey is part of a<br />

wider research project led by<br />

GNS Science and called<br />

Quicker and Safer Tsunami<br />

Art on walls and around the world<br />

THE LATEST local project<br />

for street artist Wongi ‘Freak’<br />

Wilson could potentially see his<br />

art travelling all over the world.<br />

He has just arrived back<br />

from Taupo where he spent the<br />

previous five days taking part in<br />

Graffiato: Taupo Street Art Festival<br />

but Wongi Wilson aka Freak,<br />

is not slowing down.<br />

“That (the art festival) was a<br />

break from a relatively long-term<br />

commission that I started in<br />

September which will take me<br />

into the new year. <strong>The</strong> Ministry<br />

of Social Development approached<br />

me to paint murals at<br />

Te Punai Wai, each of the five<br />

units are being refurbished and<br />

I’m working my way through<br />

each one consecutively as they’re<br />

ready for me.<br />

Freak has gained notoriety<br />

not just in his home patch of<br />

Christchurch but further afield –<br />

a far cry for the man that used to<br />

get on his hands and knees to lay<br />

carpet for a living. Now he does<br />

what he loves, still voicing his<br />

opinion through his graffiti, but<br />

getting paid for it.<br />

“Street art is an intervention<br />

from the mundane and that’s<br />

extremely important. It’s also<br />

proven to be an excellent attraction<br />

for the tourism sector.”<br />

CREATIVE: Wongi Wilson at work on a mural.<br />

Another recent project was a<br />

commission by Christchurch<br />

Airport to create artwork for a<br />

set of limited edition recyclable<br />

bags.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> airport approached me<br />

and asked if I’d be interested in<br />

designing the reusable bags as<br />

part of the project. It took off<br />

from there and the project grew<br />

and they subsequently commissioned<br />

me to paint the designs to<br />

display at the airport,” he says.<br />

<strong>The</strong> three designs depict Our<br />

Place: Our City, Our Land and<br />

Our Ocean. Freak drew inspiration<br />

from iconic landmarks that<br />

make Christchurch and the<br />

South Island special.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bags will be available<br />

throughout <strong>November</strong> and<br />

December at participating<br />

airport retailers for customers<br />

who spend $50 or more.<br />

Our People<br />

Tina Hutchison-Thomas<br />

From <strong>Star</strong> Wars to wearable art<br />

<strong>The</strong> colourful garments<br />

seen on stage and<br />

screen are the bread and<br />

butter of Mt Pleasant’s<br />

Tina Hutchison-Thomas.<br />

Matt Salmons caught<br />

up with the World of<br />

Wearable Art New<br />

Zealand design awardwinner<br />

Where did you grow up?<br />

I was born in Christchurch<br />

and I’m basically a Cantabrian<br />

through and through. I was here<br />

for my whole life until I went to<br />

Sydney. I did the fashion and<br />

design course at CPIT. That was<br />

a two-year course.<br />

What about your family?<br />

I met my husband Tim when<br />

I was 14 and he was 16. He took<br />

me to my first formal. We dated<br />

for a couple of months and then<br />

went our separate ways. We met<br />

again at a friend’s 20th. We’ve<br />

now got three children, Lily, 13,<br />

Harry, 11, and Maddie, 9. <strong>The</strong>y’re<br />

all creative in their own right.<br />

Lily is more an artist, Harry is<br />

more into music and Maddie<br />

is more into performing arts.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y see my long hours, but they<br />

understand and see my passion.<br />

Hopefully, that can evolve into a<br />

passion for their careers.<br />

What was your first job after<br />

study?<br />

My first job was with the<br />

Southern Ballet as the wardrobe<br />

mistress. It hadn’t had a<br />

wardrobe mistress for ages and<br />

the place was a bit of a wreck. I<br />

was just up for any challenge so I<br />

said ‘yes, I can do it’. <strong>The</strong> first big<br />

end-of-year show I did required<br />

30 tutus and I had no idea how to<br />

make them. I pulled a tutu apart,<br />

worked out how it was made and<br />

then roped in a whole bunch of<br />

ballet mums to get the job done.<br />

That was my first experience of<br />

a 70-hour week and strangely I<br />

wanted to come back. I think it<br />

was enough to get me hooked.<br />

What do you like about<br />

costume designing?<br />

All my costume skills, I’ve<br />

learned on the job. <strong>The</strong>re’s way<br />

more sowing and handwork than<br />

you’d have in fashion. It’s much<br />

more labour intensive which is<br />

what I enjoy the most.<br />

Where to from there?<br />

<strong>The</strong>re wasn’t a great deal of<br />

costume work in Christchurch<br />

so I jumped on a plane at 21 to<br />

go to Sydney. I hated it, it was<br />

awful. I wanted to go straight<br />

into costume, but I didn’t have<br />

enough experience so I ended up<br />

in retail. I came back and worked<br />

with the Court <strong>The</strong>atre for three<br />

years. One of my contacts got<br />

work on <strong>Star</strong> Wars: Revenge of<br />

the Sith. I put my hand up and<br />

we went back to Sydney for four<br />

years in 2003. That was a massive<br />

eye-opener.<br />

Did you work on any<br />

costumes people would know?<br />

I did Jimmy Smits’ costumes,<br />

STUDIO: Tina Hutchison-Thomas at home in her studio with the World of Wearable Art<br />

award she won for her Eye See you Fluffy Kōwhai costume design.<br />

he was Bail Organa (in <strong>Star</strong><br />

Wars: Revenge of the Sith). I<br />

also got to work on the actual<br />

Darth Vader costume and a<br />

bit of work on Keisha Castle-<br />

Hughes’ costume. I was basically<br />

in charge of the silk velvet. It’s<br />

really temperamental. If you’re<br />

making costumes, it’s your<br />

least favourite fabric as it has a<br />

mind of it’s own, it’s expensive<br />

and it’s really hard to get. After<br />

that, I free-lanced at Sydney<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre Company and Opera<br />

Australia. I also worked for a<br />

company that made costumes for<br />

the touring show of Phantom of<br />

the Opera in which they sent me<br />

to South Africa and China.<br />

When did you come back to<br />

NZ?<br />

I got pregnant when we were<br />

in Sydney and we had our first<br />

child over there. I got pregnant<br />

again quite quickly and we<br />

came back to Christchurch at<br />

the end of 2006. I worked for a<br />

little bit with Southern Opera<br />

while having another child. I<br />

then ended up back at the Court<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre. We’ll probably move<br />

back to Sydney when the kids<br />

grow up, who knows.<br />

Was that when you landed the<br />

job working on New Zealand<br />

film <strong>The</strong> Stolen?<br />

I got to design that, which was<br />

really exciting as that had been<br />

a life goal for me. I brought my<br />

dear friend Joanna Grenke over<br />

to help. She’s the menswear tailor<br />

at Sydney <strong>The</strong>atre Company. We<br />

hired a whole bunch of locals<br />

as well. It was a real challenge<br />

but the Court <strong>The</strong>atre was a<br />

great resource and we hired<br />

more costumes from Auckland.<br />

Not only did I design all the<br />

costumes, but I ran the costume<br />

department, cut patterns,<br />

stitched costumes, and worked as<br />

a wardrobe standby. No wonder<br />

I needed a break after that film.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were so many extras, it<br />

really pushes you to your limits.<br />

I did at least one 100-hour week.<br />

But I knew it would be tough and<br />

I’m always up for a challenge.<br />

Why did you leave the Court<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre?<br />

I’d got to a point in my career<br />

where I felt that I wanted the<br />

next challenge, so I left and<br />

have been working in freelance<br />

costuming ever since. <strong>The</strong>n<br />

WOW came up. I said ‘I’ll give<br />

it a go’. I never thought I was<br />

an arty kind of person, I was<br />

always a purist when it came<br />

to costume. My idea ‘geogami’<br />

came up very quickly and just<br />

evolved as I worked on it and<br />

I got into the final, so that<br />

was really exciting. It was a<br />

great experience and it’s very<br />

addictive. As soon as I came<br />

back I was thinking about what<br />

to do this year.<br />

How was it working without<br />

the constraints of a script?<br />

I found that difficult. When<br />

I’m designing for a show, it’s<br />

much more collaborative. But<br />

designing a costume without<br />

constraints, it was a challenge.<br />

And I really struggled writing<br />

about the piece. For me, there<br />

have always been guidelines, so<br />

that was the hardest part. But<br />

it was different, so that’s why I<br />

liked it.<br />

Where did the idea for this<br />

year’s design come from?<br />

For my entry this year,<br />

I wanted to do something<br />

completely different, which is<br />

why everything was soft and<br />

fluffy. I’d done spikes before.<br />

Last year I saw what the judges<br />

were looking for in the winning<br />

designs. I knew they liked<br />

sparkly detail and interesting use<br />

of fabric. I put them all together<br />

and ended up with the crazy<br />

Fluffy Kōwhai inspired by the<br />

poodle moth.<br />

That’s not a common moth,<br />

where did you hear about it?<br />

One of the sections this year<br />

was ‘under the microscope’.<br />

So I was looking at moths and<br />

butterflies and the poodle moth<br />

caught my eye. I thought what<br />

is that? I hadn’t seen a lot of fur<br />

in other shows so I thought I’d<br />

give it a go. It allowed me to do<br />

both fabric dying and sparkly. I<br />

spent ages doing the eyes, way<br />

longer than I anticipated. <strong>The</strong><br />

problem was that I had four<br />

other jobs on at the same time<br />

to finish. I missed the shipping<br />

deadline but my dad and my<br />

step-mum offered to take it to<br />

Nelson. I finished it at 5am and<br />

they picked it up at 8am, it was a<br />

bit of a mission. I’ve done some<br />

long hours, but I’d never done an<br />

all-nighter in my 20-something<br />

years in costuming.<br />

Will you enter next year?<br />

I don’t know. I was just saying<br />

to Tim this morning that maybe<br />

that’s another box ticked for me.<br />

It depends on the workload, but<br />

that doesn’t seem to be a problem<br />

for me, I just keep saying yes to<br />

everything, so we’ll see.<br />

All hands on deck for summer planting<br />

With summer just around<br />

the corner, it’s all hands on<br />

deck to ensure a steady<br />

harvest throughout the<br />

summer months. Get<br />

those heat-loving crops in<br />

the ground ahead of the<br />

warm, long days to come<br />

BEFORE ANY of the following<br />

crops can be planted, the soil<br />

needs to be well nourished and<br />

dug over. If the ground is dry,<br />

it will need a good watering<br />

before any crops go in. Blend<br />

in soil conditioners, such as<br />

sheep pellets and well-matured<br />

compost, or a bit of both, then<br />

add a dusting of vegetable<br />

fertiliser and you are good to<br />

grow.<br />

Tomatoes<br />

By now, if you have been<br />

growing your own plants from<br />

seed, the plants should be at a<br />

size where they are ready for<br />

transplanting into the garden.<br />

Aim for seedings to be at least<br />

10cm tall, however they can<br />

three or four times that size too.<br />

Position them in a sunny spot<br />

away from any blustery winds,<br />

and plant them deeply in the<br />

soil. And don’t forget to stake<br />

the plants – this is important<br />

if you want a bumper crop, as<br />

the stems can easily break with<br />

the weight of the fruit and can<br />

be damaged by wind. If room<br />

is tight, and space is limited,<br />

grafted tomatoes produce a<br />

larger and more reliable crop on<br />

one plant.<br />

‘Big Boss’ is a new variety this<br />

year. It is a beefsteak variety,<br />

only grows to 1m tall and<br />

produces loads of large fruit<br />

that are about 0.5kg each. With<br />

superb flavour and reliable<br />

cropping ability, look out for<br />

it and ask for it by name at<br />

Oderings.<br />

Eggplant<br />

Plants will be in all the garden<br />

centres now, so if you missed<br />

sowing seeds, don’t panic. Plant<br />

one to two plants per person in<br />

the household. Eggplants need a<br />

long, hot summer to thrive, so if<br />

you live in a spot that hasn’t fully<br />

warmed up yet, you can hold off<br />

planting them out for another<br />

month. <strong>The</strong>y are an ideal crop<br />

for large tubs and bins, just<br />

ensure they have good drainage<br />

as they hate wet feet. Be aware<br />

that they are not a fast-growing<br />

crop, and they do take a few<br />

weeks to settle in before they<br />

start actively growing.<br />

Both grafted and seedling<br />

hybrids are available in the<br />

shops. Seed catalogues have a<br />

huge selection of varieties and<br />

it isn’t too late to sow seed – if<br />

the plants are in the ground by<br />

Christmas you will be fine.<br />

‘Golden egg’ is a neat golfball-sized<br />

yellow variety and one<br />

of the best larger ones is ‘black<br />

moon’.<br />

Cucumber<br />

Now the ground temperatures<br />

are warm, and the coldest nights<br />

are all but over, cucumbers can<br />

be planted out. You still have<br />

time to sow seeds, too – these<br />

germinate in about one week,<br />

and are ready to plant out within<br />

a month. For the best results,<br />

telegraph cucumbers do best in<br />

a glasshouse or in a sheltered<br />

spot in the garden. As they<br />

begin to grow, the long tendrillike<br />

branches scramble. Where<br />

possible, tie these branches up to<br />

keep the developing fruit off the<br />

ground as this will ensure even<br />

ripening. However, if the fruit<br />

get too heavy on the vine and<br />

move about in the wind they can<br />

snap off, so, in areas where wind<br />

protection is not guaranteed, it<br />

is best to leave cucumber to trail<br />

along the ground – a few pale<br />

patches on the bottom side of a<br />

cucumber is better than nothing.<br />

A reliable smooth-skinned<br />

telegraph variety is ‘english<br />

greengrocer’ (see kings seeds).<br />

Apple cucumbers are neat, with<br />

their pale creamy white flesh<br />

and skin, and for those who<br />

enjoy the smaller, more intensely<br />

flavoured cucumbers look for<br />

the Lebanese types. <strong>The</strong>se are<br />

ideal for growing along the<br />

ground.<br />

Kūmara<br />

For gardeners who live in cold<br />

regions, apologies, but kūmara<br />

won’t easily grow for you – they<br />

require a long, hot season.<br />

Bundles of cuttings are in<br />

the shops now and should be<br />

planted in well-prepared and<br />

dug-over soil, on mounds,<br />

roughly 30–50cm apart. <strong>The</strong><br />

plants take a few weeks to settle<br />

in and, by Christmas,<br />

the plants will be actively<br />

growing, almost like triffids,<br />

if the conditions are ideal. Water<br />

as required when the soil dries<br />

out. Harvest should be done<br />

before the frosts arrive as the<br />

crop needs to cure in the sun.<br />

PAN-SEARED PORK<br />

STEAKS AND STEAMED<br />

ASPARAGUS<br />

Ingredients<br />

4 ribeye pork steaks<br />

1 teaspoon salt<br />

1 teaspoon cracked pepper or<br />

peppercorns<br />

1 tablespoons olive oil<br />

6 cloves roasted garlic<br />

2 tablespoons unsalted butter<br />

Bunch of asparagus spears<br />

Directions<br />

Season the pork steaks<br />

with salt and peppercorns.<br />

Allow them to come to room<br />

temperature for about 30min.<br />

Heat a heavy bottom pan<br />

should be very hot. Turn the heat<br />

Toyota Corolla hybrid<br />

beats rising fuel prices<br />

I’VE OFTEN been told it’s<br />

the little things that count,<br />

looking after the pennies<br />

and the pounds will take<br />

care of themselves, is a<br />

saying I relate to.<br />

It may seem a small<br />

point, but Toyota’s new<br />

Corolla hybrid is rated<br />

to run on 91-octane fuel,<br />

down from 95-octane the<br />

previous model needed. If<br />

you take into account the<br />

cost of fuel these days –<br />

$2.35 per litre at the time<br />

this evaluation went to<br />

print, against $2.45 for premium<br />

– the savings over<br />

time will certainly add up.<br />

Take into account, too,<br />

that the Corolla hybrid is<br />

regarded as a fuel miser in<br />

the first instance, then it’s<br />

no wonder that the world is<br />

looking at electric power as<br />

the answer to our reliance<br />

on fossil fuel.<br />

<strong>The</strong> entire Corolla<br />

range has entered its 12thgeneration,<br />

as opposed to<br />

a totally new car, the latest<br />

Corolla is more of an<br />

upgrade, however, it’s a<br />

substantial upgrade, there’s<br />

a new chassis structure and<br />

in both hybrid and nonhybrid<br />

forms there have<br />

been significant driveline<br />

enhancements.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are five Corolla<br />

models – two of those are<br />

hybrid. I’m due to drive the<br />

traditional petrol model<br />

later in the year, this evaluation<br />

focuses on the rangetopping<br />

ZR hybrid.<br />

In its latest iteration, the<br />

Corolla has come a long<br />

way, build quality is superb,<br />

and it feels just so right to<br />

be in. In ZR form it carries<br />

a lot of kit – head-up<br />

display, satellite navigation,<br />

combination leather trim,<br />

heated seats up front, and<br />

a raft of other specification<br />

which, for a car listing at<br />

just $38,490, is amazing<br />

given you also get the benefits<br />

of hybrid technology.<br />

Toyota rates the Corolla<br />

hybrid with a 4.2-litre per<br />

100km (67mpg) combined<br />

cycle average. <strong>The</strong><br />

trip computer was listing<br />

an impressive 5.3l/100km<br />

(53mpg) average when I<br />

took the evaluation car<br />

back to the dealership.<br />

Based around the<br />

mechanicals which have<br />

made Prius a household<br />

word in terms of hybrid<br />

technology, the Corolla<br />

hybrid utilises a 1.8-litre<br />

petrol engine coupled to the<br />

Synergy Drive system which<br />

transfers power though a<br />

continuously variable automatic<br />

transmission.<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

TOYOTA COROLLA HYBRID: Fuel-friendly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> petrol/electric combination<br />

develops a total of<br />

around 90kW and 142Nm,<br />

varying at any given time<br />

depending on whether<br />

the engine is active and/or<br />

batteries are supplying the<br />

drive.<br />

• Price – Toyota<br />

Corolla ZR hybrid,<br />

$38,490<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 4370mm;<br />

width, 1790mm;<br />

height, 1435mm<br />

• Configuration –<br />

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

1798cc,<br />

90kW, 142Nm,<br />

continuously<br />

variable automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 11sec<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

4.2l/100km<br />

Of course, electric propulsion<br />

is the ultimate<br />

aim, and if situations<br />

allowed, that would be the<br />

case but, of course, battery<br />

capacity is constantly<br />

exhausted, and as a vehicle<br />

it is required to accelerate<br />

and maintain momentum,<br />

which is why the petrol<br />

engine operates at will.<br />

<strong>The</strong> entire process is<br />

seamless, and Toyota has<br />

indicated it has done more<br />

work to make that transition<br />

even more fluid. With<br />

the quiet way in which the<br />

engine works, it’s really<br />

hard to pick up the points<br />

at where the petrol engine<br />

is cutting in and out.<br />

When it comes time to<br />

tackle a quick corner or<br />

two, the Corolla hybrid<br />

steers with precision and<br />

reacts favourably to steering<br />

input. If you also take<br />

into account that the batteries<br />

create a more even<br />

front/rear weight distribution,<br />

body movement is<br />

well balanced and there is<br />

just gentle movement over<br />

the suspension.<br />

In ZR form the tyres<br />

are a sport specification<br />

Dunlop type (225/45 x<br />

18in), they offer substantial<br />

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

grip and strong steering<br />

feel for the driver.<br />

I took the test car on<br />

a quick burst through<br />

Gebbies Pass from<br />

Motukarara to Teddington<br />

and return, those steep<br />

hilly sections were no trouble<br />

to the hybrid system,<br />

and the handling was absolutely<br />

delightful, it steers<br />

directly and reacts quickly<br />

to steering input, the tyre/<br />

chassis/suspension combination<br />

promotes a sporty<br />

feel.<br />

However, the Corolla<br />

hybrid can’t be considered<br />

a quick car, but it<br />

will return a standstill to<br />

100km/h acceleration time<br />

of 11sec, which suggests<br />

that it still has respectable<br />

speed, which we have come<br />

to expect from hybrids and<br />

electric vehicles in total.<br />

It seems a long time ago<br />

that Corolla relinquished<br />

its mantle as New Zealand’s<br />

top-selling motor vehicle,<br />

a position it held for many<br />

years.<br />

Of course, as history has<br />

served to prove, utes are<br />

now the vehicles of choice<br />

for our market, however,<br />

what Toyota has done with<br />

Corolla means it is still<br />

fighting to get that top spot<br />

back, the hybrid is a clever<br />

piece of kit, and it is a car<br />

which you just drive as<br />

normal and wonder where<br />

the difference between it<br />

and the standard model<br />

lies; that is until you go to<br />

fill up and the savings will<br />

immediately be obvious.<br />

If you are in the market<br />

for a new car and the idea<br />

of hybrid appeals to you<br />

but ZR specification is out<br />

of range, there’s a low-spec<br />

GX model which would<br />

probably be my choice at<br />

$32,990. Take into account,<br />

too, that each of these cars<br />

is at least $10,000 cheaper<br />

than the Prius, which, to my<br />

way of thinking, represents<br />

great value.<br />

As an aside, also take into<br />

account there is an eightyear/160,000km<br />

battery<br />

warranty.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

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

Sport<br />

A man of marathons, meditation, music<br />

Vajin Armstrong has<br />

run close to 10,000km<br />

across the 21 countries<br />

he has visited this<br />

year to date. <strong>The</strong> ultramarathon<br />

runner has<br />

recently returned to<br />

Christchurch for the<br />

summer after a busy<br />

winter season in the<br />

Northern Hemisphere.<br />

Gordon Findlater<br />

reports<br />

MOST PEOPLE would think<br />

you’d need to be mad to run<br />

close to 250km across six days<br />

in the Sahara Desert. However,<br />

that was a bucket list moment<br />

for Vajin Armstrong in April<br />

when he finished eighth at the<br />

Marathon des Sables.<br />

<strong>The</strong> event in southern Morocco<br />

is widely regarded as the world’s<br />

toughest foot race. To add to<br />

the challenge it is self-sufficient<br />

meaning Armstrong had to<br />

carry everything he needed for<br />

the entire race on his back.<br />

Half the challenge of the event<br />

came down to what to pack in<br />

your backpack which had to<br />

carry a minimum weight of<br />

6.5kg.<br />

A decision on what weight<br />

sleeping blanket to take for the<br />

surprisingly cold nights in the<br />

Sahara or whether or not to pack<br />

a gas cooker played a big role in<br />

the race. Adding an 8kg pack to<br />

his 60kg frame was noticeable<br />

early for Armstrong who battled<br />

with shoulder pains on the first<br />

evening. He says most of the<br />

elite runners choose not to take a<br />

cooking device.<br />

“For me you take your freeze<br />

dried meal, mix it with water<br />

and put it out in the sun. You’d<br />

leave it out there for an hour or<br />

so and it would get hot enough<br />

. . . it was never a culinary treat<br />

but you’re just trying to get the<br />

calories back in,” said Armstrong.<br />

Armstrong finished the race<br />

in a total time of 22hr 36min. Of<br />

the 1078 entrants 934 finished<br />

the race.<br />

“I found it be a really<br />

transformative experience.”<br />

“We all have a lot more<br />

strength and capacity than we<br />

often are aware of, because we<br />

never get challenged or pushed<br />

far enough where we have to<br />

bring forward that strength we<br />

have within us.”<br />

Armstrong had success as a<br />

teenager with middle distance<br />

running but became disconnected<br />

with running until<br />

he completed his first ultramarathon<br />

in 2009. He then went<br />

onto win his first of three Kepla<br />

Challenge titles in 2<strong>01</strong>0 and has<br />

been racking up races of huge<br />

distance since.<br />

He now trains between 20-25<br />

hours a week where he clocks up<br />

anywhere around 200km.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other highlight of the<br />

recent Northern Hemisphere<br />

trip was third place finish at the<br />

renowned Gornergrat Zermatt<br />

Marathon in Switzerland. It was<br />

Armstrong’s fourth time competing<br />

in the race but first time<br />

he had finished on the podium.<br />

“You start at 1000m above sea<br />

level and finish at about 2500m.”<br />

SCENERY:<br />

Armstrong<br />

on his way<br />

to a second<br />

place finish<br />

in the 85km<br />

Swiss alpine<br />

marathon in<br />

July. (Above):<br />

Armstrong at<br />

his St Asaph<br />

St music<br />

store where<br />

he imports<br />

and sells<br />

instruments.<br />

Armstrong has already lined<br />

up his next bucket list event – the<br />

Comrades Marathon in South<br />

Africa. <strong>The</strong> event in June will see<br />

25,000 runners take on the 90km<br />

course between Durban and<br />

Pietermaritzburg which has been<br />

run annually since 1921.<br />

“My goal now with my running<br />

is to travel, visit new places,<br />

share and connect experiences<br />

and meet new people.”<br />

His job also has an international<br />

flavour. Armstrong<br />

imports and sells musical instruments<br />

from all parts of the world<br />

at his store – Gandharva Loka –<br />

in St Asaph St.<br />

Another big part of Armstrong’s<br />

life has been meditation.<br />

“For me meditation really<br />

helps with running. One of the<br />

big limiting factors when you’re<br />

out there for a long time is your<br />

own mind. Often your mind<br />

gives up before your body does.”<br />

Given the name Luke at<br />

birth, Armstrong later took the<br />

spiritual name, Vajin, which was<br />

given by his meditation teacher<br />

Sri Chinmoy. <strong>The</strong> name means<br />

Strong, spirited and heroic.<br />

“He gave me that name in 2007<br />

just before he passed away . . .<br />

the idea with the name is to give<br />

you inspiration to aspire towards<br />

bringing some of those qualities<br />

to the fore.”<br />

Targa title for<br />

father and son<br />

CHRISTCHURCH father and son<br />

team Stewart and Rory Callaway<br />

returned home with the production<br />

four-wheel-drive overall title, based<br />

on the results of the two Targa<br />

rallies held this year.<br />

At the Targa NZ held in Otago<br />

and Southland last week the pair<br />

finished eighth overall and first in<br />

the production 4WD class. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

overall time of 3hr 43min 12sec saw<br />

them pip Andy Oakley and Steve<br />

Hutchins in their Audi A4 by nearly<br />

3min.<br />

Last year was the pair’s first Targa<br />

showing, when they finished 23rd<br />

and shared the driving. This year,<br />

Rory, 25, the youngest driver in the<br />

field, took hold of the steering wheel.<br />

<strong>The</strong> overall title was won by<br />

the Auckland pairing of Glenn<br />

Inkster and Spencer Winn in their<br />

Mitsubishi Evo 8 in a time of 3hr<br />

29min 13sec.<br />

Near perfect record for golfers<br />

CANTERBURY’S MEN’S and<br />

women’s teams took home the<br />

silverware at their respective<br />

South Island interprovincial<br />

tournament’s at the weekend.<br />

Playing at Invercargill the<br />

women’s team had a near perfect<br />

weekend winning all four of<br />

their ties and dropping just four<br />

matches out of a total 32. Strong<br />

individual performances by<br />

Hillary O’Connor, Amy Weng,<br />

Maddie May and Mel Newburn,<br />

who all won all four games,<br />

ensured the Canterbury win.<br />

Meanwhile, the men – playing<br />

at Methven – won all four<br />

of their ties to defend their<br />

title. A 4.5-3.5 win over second<br />

placed Tasman proved to be<br />

the decider for the men with<br />

Hiroki Miya, Richard Reed,<br />

Kazuma Kobori and recently<br />

Tasman tie.<br />

Both teams will have strong<br />

Bulls to clash<br />

with Warriors<br />

feeder team at<br />

Nga Puna Wai<br />

CANTERBURY RUGBY<br />

League will christen its new<br />

facilities at Nga Puna Wai<br />

on February 23 with a match<br />

between the Canterbury Bulls<br />

and the Warriors’ InTrust Super<br />

Premiership team.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bulls’ clash is part of a<br />

bumper early-2<strong>01</strong>9 schedule. As<br />

well as the annual Crosbie and<br />

Rolleston Nines tournaments, the<br />

region will also host the Manly-<br />

Warriors NRL match on March<br />

30 prior to the CRL club competitions<br />

kicking off.<br />

“It’s something that’s been in<br />

the pipeline for a while, before my<br />

time,” CRL chief executive Duane<br />

Fyfe said.<br />

“It is a coup, though the timing<br />

means the facility won’t be<br />

completely finished, so that will<br />

restrict the numbers we can have<br />

at the match.<br />

“But we’re very happy with the<br />

amount of people we’ll be able to<br />

get into the grounds – 2500-3000<br />

people is the capacity until the<br />

grandstand is finished.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> move to Nga Puna Wai<br />

rates among the most significant<br />

developments for Canterbury<br />

Rugby League in recent years. ​<br />

“We know from our history<br />

at Rugby League Park that we<br />

cherish having a spiritual home,<br />

and we hope Nga Puna Wai will<br />

provide that for us again with a<br />

buy-in from everybody.<br />

UC stars in Crusaders<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

IT’S A case of coming through<br />

the system for the new faces in<br />

the Crusaders 38-man squad<br />

which was named at Rugby Park<br />

yesterday for the 2<strong>01</strong>9 Super<br />

Rugby season.<br />

New Crusaders signings Ngane<br />

Punivai, Leicester Faingaanuku<br />

and Harry Allen have all been on<br />

the Crusaders radar since their<br />

time at secondary school playing<br />

in the UC Championship - having<br />

all previously played for the<br />

Crusaders under-18 team.<br />

Faingaanuku, 18, has been<br />

part of the Crusaders academy<br />

since 15 when he was a year-11<br />

student at Nelson College.<br />

“I was fortunate enough last<br />

year to come in and experience<br />

the environment with the Crusaders.<br />

To get the phone call this<br />

year and be told I was going to<br />

be part of the Crusaders family<br />

was a dream come true,” said<br />

Faingaanuku.<br />

<strong>The</strong> winger was unable to<br />

feature much for Tasman in<br />

the Mitre 10 Cup due to injury.<br />

However, the Crusaders coaching<br />

staff has big wraps on him.<br />

His fellow Crusaders and Tasman<br />

teammate Will Jordan has<br />

also believed Faingaanuku was<br />

destined for big things when<br />

we first came up against him at<br />

secondary school level.<br />

“He was a big boy back then<br />

and I think he probably ran over<br />

me a few times. I know he’ll have<br />

a really great year,” said Jordan.<br />

YOUNGSTER: Leicester Faingaanuku is a player Scott<br />

Robertson hopes can fill the void left by powerful winger Seta<br />

Tamanivalu.<br />

Christ’s College product<br />

Punivai is another exciting<br />

young back to make the step up<br />

to Super Rugby for the first time.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 20-year-old admitted to not<br />

being able to hold back the tears<br />

when he received the news he<br />

had made the squad. He was also<br />

quick to point out one person in<br />

particular who had helped him<br />

get to this stage of his career.<br />

“My dad,” said Punivai.<br />

“He’s been there right from<br />

the younger grades. Home or<br />

away games he will always be<br />

there and give me his two cents.<br />

Sometime’s I’ll take it on board,<br />

but he’s been my rock and always<br />

supported me.”<br />

Former St Andrew’s College<br />

prop Allen has also came<br />

through the Crusaders’ system<br />

from secondary school. <strong>The</strong><br />

21-year-old is excited to come<br />

soak up as much as I can. It’s<br />

amazing the wealth, knowledge<br />

and professionalism of the players<br />

that I can tap on the shoulder<br />

and ask for it,” said Allen.<br />

Although having both made<br />

Crusaders appearances in the<br />

past Brett Cameron and Whetu<br />

Douglas completed the list of<br />

players to have been announced<br />

in the squad for the first time.<br />

Make the punishment fit the crime<br />

IT ONLY seems like yesterday<br />

when Australian cricket was<br />

thrown into turmoil due to the<br />

ball tampering incident in South<br />

Africa in March which saw<br />

Cameron Bancroft rub sandpaper<br />

on the match ball to try and create<br />

an unfair advantage for his side.<br />

Since then Bancroft was given<br />

a ninemonth ban while Australian<br />

captain Steve Smith and<br />

David Warner were handed what<br />

still to me feel like slap on the<br />

wrist 12-month bans. However,<br />

after a recent scathing independent<br />

review of Cricket Australia,<br />

there have been calls to reduce<br />

the bans on Smith and Warner,<br />

and instead heap a larger share<br />

of the responsibility for the incident<br />

onto the organisation itself.<br />

Are we forgetting the fact<br />

these guys planned and executed<br />

an operation where sandpaper<br />

was concealed and bought onto<br />

the field of play to alter the ball.<br />

When it comes to creating<br />

an unfair advantage which will<br />

cause the ball to generate extra<br />

swing through the air is surely<br />

about as high on the spectrum<br />

as you can go, so why didn’t the<br />

bans reflect this?<br />

Let’s look at some of cricket’s<br />

other famous bans over the years<br />

to give a bit of perspective.<br />

In 2003 Shane Warne was<br />

given a 12-month ban from the<br />

Australian Cricket Board for using<br />

a banned drug Moduretic – a<br />

fluid-reduction tablet – which<br />

even the committee who handed<br />

One-eyed Cantab<br />

Gordon Findlater<br />

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi<br />

him the ban accepted would not<br />

have enhanced Warne’s performance.<br />

In 2<strong>01</strong>0 Pakistan pace bowler<br />

Mohammad Amir bowled three<br />

no-balls in a test against England<br />

in a spot-fixing scandal which<br />

saw him banned for five years.<br />

When it comes to match-fixing<br />

a staunch stance has been taken<br />

by international cricket and<br />

countless former players.<br />

We saw this unfold for Lou<br />

Vincent who was given a life ban<br />

in 2<strong>01</strong>4 for purposely underperforming<br />

for money. Yes, what<br />

he did got what at the time felt<br />

like the right treatment. None of<br />

this happened at the game’s elite<br />

level and mostly in a rebel league<br />

in Pakistan.<br />

His case also has somewhat<br />

of a “don’t worry everyone is<br />

doing it” when it came to why he<br />

chose the actions he did – much<br />

like the Tour de France doping<br />

scandals. We seem to be obsessed<br />

when it comes to bans on<br />

anything we feel like we know is<br />

widely happening but struggle to<br />

prove. It seems we’re obliged to<br />

hand out the maximum<br />

penalty to send a message.<br />

Is that the right approach to<br />

have when Bancroft, Smith and<br />

Warner got a slap on the wrist?<br />

For me in cricket, the impact<br />

of bowling a handful of no balls<br />

in a test match or a player being<br />

on a performance enhancing<br />

drug v using sandpaper to generate<br />

swing throughout an entire<br />

match aren’t even in the same<br />

league when it comes to the outcome<br />

they will have on a match,<br />

so why don’t we have the same<br />

approach when it comes to their<br />

punishments.<br />

When you’re selling a property you get to<br />

decide how the open home process is run. If you’re<br />

working with a real estate agent, this is will be<br />

part of the marketing plan that you agree upon<br />

with them before you sign the agency agreement.<br />

<strong>The</strong> real estate agent will advise you on the<br />

timing and frequency of open homes, or any other<br />

viewings. If there is anything you are uncertain<br />

about, talk to the agent and make your feelings<br />

clear. <strong>The</strong>re’s no law that you have to have open<br />

homes – you may decide that you’d rather have<br />

viewings by appointment only.<br />

“Bear in mind though that in order to sell<br />

your home, people will have to see it,” says Kevin<br />

Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate<br />

Authority (REA). “You may have to be flexible<br />

on when viewings are held, even if they are not<br />

particularly convenient.”<br />

When it comes to the marketing and selling<br />

process of your home it’s a good idea to look at<br />

things from the perspective of the real estate<br />

agent and any prospective purchaser, Lampen-<br />

Smith says.<br />

“Open homes often attract people who are just<br />

browsing to see what’s around, or neighbours who<br />

have always wanted to see what ‘that house at<br />

number 10’ is like. <strong>The</strong> agent will report back to<br />

you after the open home to let you know the level of<br />

interest – if they have kept an electronic or paper<br />

record of visitors it will give you an indication of<br />

how many visitors were sticky beaks from down the<br />

street.”<br />

In an ideal world, people will treat your home<br />

with respect when viewing it, he says.<br />

“If you suspect they will need reminding,<br />

request that the agent asks visitors to remove<br />

any wet weather gear or shoes before entering.<br />

What you need to know about Open<br />

Homes when you’re selling a property<br />

Most people go on a major cleaning, tidying and<br />

de-cluttering mission before putting a property<br />

on the market, which will make it much easier to<br />

prepare it for an open home. It’s a good idea to<br />

clear away any valuables or personal items (if time<br />

is short, dump them all in a washing basket that<br />

you can pick up and take with you) and use your<br />

own common sense about what you want strangers<br />

to see.”<br />

Don’t shove things into cupboards or wardrobes<br />

– prospective buyers will be keen to gauge storage<br />

capacity. Remember that families with small<br />

children could be going through your property and<br />

delicate ornaments or family heirlooms might be<br />

better out of harm’s way.<br />

Selling a property can be a stressful time, but<br />

you’ll make it much easier on yourself if you work<br />

out a plan of attack, including getting the advice<br />

of professionals along the way, Lampen-Smith<br />

says.<br />

“Present your home well and it’s more likely to<br />

attract another set of owners.”<br />
