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 />

both male and female law students.<br />

Unusual places to find e-scooters<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
LIME SCOOTERS which are left<br />
parked up across the city are also<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 />
a ride-sharing initiative<br />
which started in California<br />
last year.<br />

Woods will be asked to<br />
change District Plan<br />
City councillors will finalise a<br />
proposal to amend the District<br />
Plan in relation to flooding issues<br />
at a meeting today. It will now ask<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 />
Unit Overlay area where the risk<br />
of flooding is predominantly from<br />
future sea level rise and permits<br />
people with vacant sites to rebuild<br />
houses without the need for a<br />
resource consent.<br />

‘Si and Phil’ to<br />
be back on<br />
air together<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 />
breakfast host on More FM until<br />
his wife had a seizure at home in<br />
April. She is being treated for a<br />
malignant brain tumour.<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 />
the future of the catering behind<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> 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 />
to work constructively<br />

“It would have been good<br />
to have a conversation.<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 />
and partnerships<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 />
boards around<br />
the city.<br />

been clashes over<br />
the Denton Park<br />
decision between Halswell-<br />

Board members,<br />
which required intervention<br />
from an independent<br />
facilitator.<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 />

First sail for<br />
historic tug<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 />
(preferably cast iron) that will fit<br />
all the steaks over high heat. Add<br />
the oil. When the oil shimmers<br />
in the pan and begins to move,<br />
it’s time to add the steaks. Carefully<br />
add them, one at a time, to<br />
the pan. Allow to cook without<br />
moving for 5min.<br />
After five minutes, flip the<br />
steaks. By this point, the oil<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.

<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 />
crowned Canterbury match play<br />
DOMINANT: <strong>The</strong> Canterbury women’s and men’s team had<br />
a near perfect weekend on their way to winning the South<br />

all picking up vital wins in the<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 />

“I’m a sponge just trying to<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 />
