A CANTERBURY University law
student being investigated for a
sexual assault has been allowed to
go overseas on a study-related trip.
Bu the university’s dean of
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to
discuss the matter.
“I can’t comment
about any
of this because
of confidentiality
and privacy,” she
told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has
learned a female
student has laid
a complaint abou the accused
being allowed to go on the trip.
It is understood it is no the
same person who has laid the
sexual assault complain to the
police.
The Star has been told it is a
rape investigation.
The Star sent a number of questions
to Canterbury University
yesterday but none would be answered.
Said Canterbury University
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:
“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was
turned off.
Police would also not comment
on the matter.
The overseas trip involves
both male and female law students.

SURPRISING: A Facebook page called Limes in Weird Places shows the new e-scooters in odd locations and

Unusual places to find e-scooters

LIME SCOOTERS which are left

A Facebook page called
Limes in Weird Places has been
created and shows pictures of the
e-scooters stuck in surprising
locations.
One picture showed one of the
scooters at the bottom of a pool
and another titled ‘Limelight’
with a scooter hanging upside
down from a street lamp.
Other pictures show a scooter
in a shower, three stuck in a tree
and another sitting on a window

The page has more than 1000
‘likes’ and asks for people to
submit their pictures.
The electric scooters are part of
a ride-sharing initiative
which started in California
last year.
They are currently being
trialled in Christchurch and

‘Si and Phil’ to

ONE OF New Zealand’s bestknown

reuniting for Newstalk ZB in 2019.
Rugby writer, author, radio host
and Newstalk ZB contributor Phil
Gifford will join Simon Barnett
on Newstalk ZB for afternoons
noon-4pm from mid-2019.
NZME head of talk Jason
Winstanley said many people
would remember the ‘Si and Phil’

Dunedin.
“When it comes to powerhouse
breakfast shows, Simon and Phil
dominated the air waves. It was a
winning combination due to their
genuine approach and their friendship

to be able to bring this combo
back on air across the country.”
Gifford said joining Barnett on
Newstalk ZB was a return to the
best times he ever enjoyed in radio.
“Simon was like family to me, basically
the annoying kid brother I
never had. Time hasn’t changed that
bond at all, and working together
again is an amazing opportunity.”

A COMMUNITY board will
go behind closed doors to
decide whether it will continue
spending ratepayer money on
food for its fortnightly meetings.
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board has
munched through more than
$10,000 since it was elected in
October 2016 – the highest spend
of any of the city council’s seven
community boards, The Star
revealed last week.
The food is available at its
board meetings for board
members, and city council staff
and members of the public who
attend.
Board chairman Mike Mora
said members will discuss the
catering costs at their next meeting
on November 13, but it will
be public excluded.
“It’s an internal matter. I don’t
see the need that it needs to be
[public].”
“It’s a discussion we need
to have to gauge each other’s
responses as to what they see as
our needs,” Mr Mora said.
Board member Debbie Mora
is against the idea of discussing
the future of the catering behind
closed doors.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Time to buy property as listings grow
• By Julia Evans and
Sophie Cornish
IT’S A buyer’s market for
properties in Canterbury.
Figures released by realestate.
co.nz yesterday show Canterbury
as continuing to be one of the most
active markets in the country.
A big climb in new listings
and a drop in asking prices are
making the market more attractive
to buyers, said realestate.
co.nz spokeswoman Vanessa
Taylor.
Ms Taylor calls Canterbury a
“unique region” and said there
have been a number of times this
year the region has bucked other
main city trends, this month it
has a similar profile to the Auckland,
Central Otago/Lakes and
Wellington regions.
Harcourts real estate agent
Cameron Bailey said the whole
market was busy – from first
home buyers to those looking for
luxury.
“I’d say it is a fair market. It’s
a market for realistic sellers and
there are really good opportunities
for buyers too,” he said.
But Mr Bailey said while it was
busy, the city’s property market
had finally recovered from the
earthquake.
“We’ve come off an artificial
market. I’d say it has dropped
back into a normal market. From
a buyer’s point of view Christchurch
is a beautiful city to live in
and there’s so much cool stuff
happening.”
New listings in Canterbury
lifted 12.3 per cent to 1776, while
the average asking price dropped
2.7 per cent to $498,208.
In the past month the Canterbury
region had more than
44,000 unique browsers looking
at property.
Mr Bailey said there was a
lot of housing stock in the city,
which meant buyers could be
more picky as to how they spend
money.
“People can be more price
sensitive and pay what a house is
worth, not always what the buyer
wants. It gives them more opportunities
and more choice.”
The most popular suburbs
searched were Fendalton, Rangiora,
the central city, Cashmere,
then Rolleston.
MARKET:
Harcourts real
estate agent

with a property
in Wood Lane,
Fendalton,
which is one
of the most
popular suburbs
along with the
central city
(above).
“Cantabrians remain the
biggest searchers for property
within the region, which is
no surprise. They’re followed
by property seekers from the
Auckland, Otago and Wellington
regions.
Mr Bailey said the central city
was popular for convenience.
Suburbs such as Fendalton and
Cashmere were close to town,
but also allowed for a suburban
lifestyle.
“However, there is also interest
from Australia, with New
South Wales and Queensland
registering the next highest levels
of seekers after the main New
Zealand centres,” said Ms
Taylor.
Mr Bailey said he’d had a lot of
interest from Australia and the
United Kingdom in particular for
the last few years.
“People are seeing an
opportunity from the rebuild
and coming back to the city,” he
said.
Mortgage broker Sam Parsons
said first home buyers are the
biggest market for his business
right now.
“We are still finding the first
home market to be extremely
strong. There is still a lot of
first home buyers entering the
market. But there is less in the
way of investors and older age
bracket, second-home purchasing
going on, which is generally for
investment properties.”

it’s too late to get your

Timeball special for CTV survivor
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Matt Salmons
MARYANNE Jackson survived
the tragedy of the CTV building
collapse in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
THe site will forever hold
emotional memories for the Mt
Pleasant woman.
Tomorrow, another quakedevasted
site will also hold
special memories when the
rebuilt Lyttelton Timeball tower
is reopened.
Her grandmother Gertrude
was born there in 1889 while her
great-grandfather John Richard
Toomey was the flag-signalman.
“We were always told about
it and we often went there,” Ms
Jackson said.
“It was like our castle on the
hill . . . it was close to our heart.
A great connection that we are
very proud of.”
Ms Jackson and her brother
John McKenna, a Lytteltonbased
ship’s captain, would
attend the opening ceremony.
THe tower was almost
completely destroyed along with
the station building during the
February 22 earthquake and
subsequent aftershocks.
Only the tower section of the
1876-built structure could be
saved, the $3 million restoration
project began in July last
year. Work on the tower and
flagpole finished in June, while
landscaping work finished this
week.
Ms Jackson was the only CTV
employee in the building to
escape when the magnitude 6.3
DESCENDANT:
Maryanne Jackson

the Timeball Station
which belonged to her
mother.
earthquake struck.
She ran from her ground-floor
desk when the shaking began.
The building collapsed behind
her claiming 16 of her colleagues.
In total, 115 people were killed
in the central city building, the
Madras St site of which is now a
memorial to those who died.
RETURNING: The Lyttelton Timeball
tower reopens to the public tomorrow.
Ms Jackson said her mother
Hilary would be very upset to
know the fate of the Timeball
Station.
“I would like to see it all
rebuilt, but it’s great to see it back
up on the side of the hill.”
Ms Jackson said seeing the
tower restored returned “a bit of
normalcy” to the port.
THe years where the iconic
structure was not visible on the
hill had been “upsetting,” she
said.
Ms Jackson’s great-grandfather
John Richard Toomey was the
first flag-signalman to live in the
Timeball Station, taking the post
in 1879 at the age of 15.
Signalmen used coloured flags
to communicate between ships
and the port.
John Richard
Toomey
Mr Toomey taught himself both
local and international flag signals
as well as Morse code and other
tools of the signalman’s trade.
“Quite clever really, but he
would have learned a lot from
his father Peter Michael Toomey
who was a sea captain,” Ms
Jackson said.
Signalmen worked from the
tower until 1934, when they were
replaced by radio.
Mr Toomey later moved his
family to Adderley Heads where
he held another signalman’s
position, before moving back to
Lyttelton itself.
“Our family has always lived in
Lyttelton,” Ms Jackson said.
“THe sea has always been in
our blood. I always have to live
near the sea.”

The aftermath of being hooked on
Synthetic drugs have
possibly caused two
deaths in Christchurch
and put many others
in hospital. Reporter
Sophie Cornish talks to
a recovering addict
AT THE height of her addiction,
Samantha Tye lost her children,
family and ended up in jail.
Now, after eight years on
synthetic drugs, Miss Tye has
been clean for eight months,
however, she still lives with the
effects of her drug use.
Miss Tye no longer has custody
of her two children, aged nine
and six-years-old and suffers
from depression and anxiety.
The 24-year-old moved away
from Christchurch to Invercargill
to get clean at the beginning of
the year.
When she first tried synthetic
cannabis it was still legal to buy
in New Zealand.
Then known as ‘legal highs,’
the drugs were banned in 2014,
with the introduction of the
Psychoactive Substances Act.
The synthetic drugs were
more appealing to Miss Tye,
being cheaper and stronger than
normal cannabis.
IN RECOVERY: Samantha Tye was hooked on synthetic drugs for eight years before she went cold turkey eight months ago.
“I’m not exactly sure when I first
started smoking it . . . my friend
who used to smoke it one day
offered me a puff to try it and I got
hooked . . . it gave me a better buzz
than weed did, it was way stronger
and you were more high for a
longer period of time,” she said.
A bag of the drugs could be
purchased for as low as $10.
Her addiction led her to
shoplifting, a criminal record and
eventually to jail, in 2015.
Miss Tye received a six-month
sentence for shoplifting offences.
She would sell stolen goods to
support her addiction.
Prior to this, Child Youth and
Family became involved with her
son in 2014, and he was taken off
her.
He has lived with his adoptive
parents for five years.
Her daughter has lived with
Miss Tye’s sister for eight years.
Her family tried to get Miss Tye
clean throughout her addiction
period, however, she admits she
pushed them away.
“They did try and help me but
eventually, they stepped back.
I was so involved with heaps of
people on the drugs and pushed
my whole family away.”
After a recent death of a friend,
who she didn’t wish to name,
Miss Tye wants the message out
about how dangerous synthetic
drugs can be.
During her detox process,
which lasted about two weeks,
Miss Tye was left shaking,
spewing, sweating and screaming
at the walls.
“I basically shut myself away at
home, away from everyone and
just did it on my own. I had to
barricade myself in my room
. . . after two weeks I woke up and
felt like a cigarette and a big feed
of fish ’n’ chips. So that’s what I
did and I never looked back.”

Road patroller to artist
• By Sophie Cornish
KATIE TEMPLE never
thought her job as a roadpatroller
would lead her to
creating inspiring artwork.
The 10-year-old is
the youngest ever
winner of the junior section
of this year’s SCAPE
Public Art Re:Activate
competition.
Her art piece titled
Changing Pathways was
inspired by the signs she
uses in her role as a roadpatroller
at Thorrington
Primary School.
Both sides of the
‘lollipop’ Katie carries as
she helps children cross the
road safely has a different
message on it.
“On one side of the road
patrol sign it says ‘thanks
for stopping’ and on the
other side it says, ‘have a
nice day’. So that’s where I
got the idea of using signs.”
she said.
Katie’s artwork has two
signs, which relate to our
everyday choices, which
she wanted to highlight,
such as walking, biking
and how we use water.
Katie’s mother Kimala
Temple admits Katie has
been “quietly excited” by
all the comments on her
artwork and how far her
message has gone.
“During SCAPE’s grand
opening, a professor from
Massey University told
Katie that her artwork
was inspiring and some of
the best she had seen. She
took photos to show her
students,” she said.
SCAPE spokeswoman
Carolyne Grant said Katie
is the youngest winner
they have ever had in the
competition.
“Katie is excited to have
her artwork in Hagley
Park, to get attention and
provoke thoughts on all the
subjects especially around
the environment, people
and animals of the world,”
she said.

Keeping the old skills alive
While machines serve
us at supermarkets
and make almost all of
the products we use
every day, the traditions
of old are still being
kept alive by a select
few craftspeople. Julia
Evans reports
CAN YOU carve a mandolin out
of a piece of wood?
How about weave a harakeke
basket, make your own soap or
bind a book?
It’s old practices like these that
being preserved by craftspeople
around the city and their place
in 2018 will be showcased during
next week’s Necessary Traditions
festival.
From shoemaking, Windsor
chair making, rag-rug making,
blacksmithing,
willow basketwork,
pin-hole
photography
and sourdough
baking. To
soap making,
cup, bowl and
Juliet Arnott
spoon carving,
reforestation,
darning, preserving and fermenting,
heritage building techniques,
raranga harakeke weaving, bookbinding
and ceramics.
It sounds like the start of a
poem – only missing a butcher, a
baker and a candlestick maker.
The festival at the Arts Centre
is the first of its kind.
For ceramicist Tatyanna
Meharry the event is about
passing on a skill she was taught
by her grandmother.
“I grew up in a really creative
family, my grandmother was an
artist and a potter. I remember
we were allowed to go into her
studio and make the world’s ugliest
pots when we were young,”
she said.
“If you couldn’t make it in our
family, you couldn’t have it.”
Meharry said keeping traditional
craft alive was important
in the 21st-century.
“It’s really important because
we live in a consumer society.
It’s bit of a monster really. With
mass-made consumer products
you’re less likely to understand
the story behind them and so just
throw them out,” she said.
However, Meharry’s work connect
the item to the location it
was sourced from.
She uses local raw clay materials
to create bowls that look like
landscapes when fired.
“I collect resources from
around New Zealand, particularly
Canterbury. I’m passionate
about resources, you have to
create items that are treasures,”
she said.
Meharry said her work aimed
to create a sense of location and
place, as well as knowing exactly
where all the materials came
from.
“Bowls that are mass-produced
are made of other countries’ resources.
They’re not bad, but you
don’t value them.”
A sustainable future meant
taking time to consider where
products came from and crafts
such as ceramics and pottery
were vital to that, she said.
During the festival, Meharry
will be giving a talk, hosting a
public demonstration about her
work and running workshops.
While most people pop down
to the store to buy a packet of
shocking pink pegs to hang their
washing out and a rake to boot,
Greg Quinn makes his own.
“The process of making them
is as valuable to me as the end
product. It’s a bonus that you get
a usable product at the end,” he
said.
“I’ve experimented over the
years and made lots of useless
items.”
Quinn said the consumerism
boom was over and people were
looking to a sustainable future.
“A time may come in the
future where you have to look
for a shoemaker or whoever and
they won’t be there if we don’t
continue to support them now,”
he said.
“It’s all about keeping these
crafts alive and keeping them
relevant.”
Festival organiser Juliet Arnott
said the festival was unique as it
set out to celebrate crafts in the
context of the future.
“We try to keep the traditions
alive because they’re important
for various reasons. But also
we actually need some of these
things for the future. It’s not just
tradition for traditions sake.”
But she said a lot of her
inspiration came from watching
craftspeople work in the Arts
Centre before the earthquakes.
“Its all about getting people to
come along and watch the magic
in seeing a material start in one
state and finish in another.”

IN AWE: Sam and Rosie Averill will take part in Sunday’s event to
remember the liberation of a small French town.
Great-grandchildren of
WW1 hero will be present
at commemoration
CHRISTCHURCH
teenagers Rosie and Sam
Averill will help mark the
day – exactly 100 years
ago – that their greatgrandfather
took the first
steps towards the liberation
of a small French town.
Leslie Averill was only
a few years older than the
pair when he became the
first man to scale the ramparts
of Le Quesnoy, climbing
a precariously placed
ladder to help surprise the
German occupiers and seal
a spot in the history of the
Great War.
That brave act by 21-yearold
Lieutenant Averill and
his fellow New Zealand
Division soldiers will be
commemorated with the
unveiling of a plaque in
Christchurch’s Park of
Remembrance on Sunday
at 5pm.
For many, it was a young
nation’s finest hour of
World War 1.
Both Rosie, 16, and her
cousin, Sam, 15, are “very
proud to have the Averill
name.”
“We are both in awe of
our great-grandfather,” Rosie
said. “It must have been
utterly terrifying, putting
your life on the line to help
free a town.”
For Sam, his greatgrandfather’s
feat is “incredibly
impressive.”
“It’s cool that people
think of my family name
so highly, particularly in Le
Quesnoy,” he said.
Both Rosie and Sam have
Leslie Averill
visited the fortress town in
northern France, and plan
to return.
They view their trip to Le
Quesnoy as a pilgrimage,
“a rite of passage for all
family members.”
“Imagine being there for
the 150th anniversary,”
says Rosie, who hopes to
follow her great-grandfather
into the medical
profession.
On Sunday, Sam
and Rosie will join
Mayor Lianne Dalziel,
Christchurch Memorial
RSA vice-president Jim
Lilley, Lieutenant Colonel
Kendall Langston and
the Honorary Consuls
for France, Martine
Marshall-Durieux, and
Belgium, Lieve Bierque,
for the unveiling and tree
planting.
However, 70 Averill
family members will be
in Le Quesnoy that day
as the citizens remember
the heroic actions of the
New Zealand Rifle Brigade
soldiers from the other side
of the world.
While there was no loss
of civilian life, 130 New
Zealanders were killed in
the push to free the town.
A century later, visitors
can wander down Rue du
Docteur Averill and past
L’école maternelle du Docteur
Averill.
Work is also under way
to transform the former
mayor’s residence in the
town into a memorial
museum commemorating
New Zealand’s role in battles
on the Western Front.
Leslie Averill – by then a
well-known Christchurch
doctor – often returned to
the town.
Following the war, he
had won a New Zealand
Expeditionary Force scholarship
to study medicine
at the University of Edinburgh.
In 1926, Dr Averill was
appointed as the first
executive of St George’s
Hospital, holding that role
for more than 40 years. He
would continue to introduce
new ideas on surgery and
patient care in Canterbury
for many years.
In 1973, the French
government made Dr
Averill a Chevalier de la
Légion d’honneur – one
of the nation’s highest
honours. He died in
Christchurch on June 4,
1981, aged 84.

Bid to bring

• By Georgia O’Connor-

AUSTRALIAN disaster recovery
expert and psychologist Dr Rob

following the February 22, 2011,

A seminar will be held to
consider bringing Dr Gordon
to the city and the cost to do
that. The meeting will also
consider the current issues
facing Dallington and the wider
suburbs on the residential red
zone fringe.
It comes after the Dallington
Community Trust has asked for
funding from the board for a
disaster psychologist.
The trust wants the
disaster psychologist to
investigate the extent of the
issue and turn it into a wellness
programme.
Understanding the money trail
• By Julia Evans
FORMER investment banker
and city councillor Raf Manji
wants to make the city’s finances
understandable.
Cr Manji said as it stands the
city council’s finances are totally
unpalatable to the people they
impact the most – ratepayers.
He said finances were currently
“static” and
“opaque” and
planned to have
simpler layout
and graphics
to help make
city council
Raf Manji
spending more
digestible.
In the 2017-18
financial year, the city council
reported $13.1 billion in assets, its
revenue was $992 million and its
borrowing was $1.9 billion.
It’s large figures like those, Cr
Manji said were hard for residents
to understand.
Not only that, he said city
councillors themselves struggle.
“The issue for me is that it’s
clearly problematic when councillors
can’t understand them,”
Cr Manji said.
So he has been working on a
plan to present the city council’s
finances in terms that everyone
understands.
“The plans are to make the
financial information more accessible
. . . at the moment if you
look at the info, it’s very difficult
to understand. So I want to eventually
get it online in things like
simple pie charts and you will
be slowly able to drill down into
council spending,” he said.
Cr Manji said the plan would
be implemented in stages – starting
with a new layout to this
week’s finance and performance
committee meeting agenda.
“We’re spending a lot of time
doing reports on things that no
one ever reads,” he said.
At a recent meeting Cr
Manji, the city council’s finance
spokesman, presented the annual
report, which breaks down
spending and income for the last
year.
He said he was “disappointed”
there was no discussion on the
250-page report.

Cr Manji said the goal was to
make future Annual Plans and
Long Term Plans incredibly easy
to understand.
But he said it would also relate
to the recent city council resident
satisfaction survey, which
revealed residents were unhappy
with decision-making and did
not feel like they could participate
in council processes.
“It’s clearly an area we can
improve on and I think this
would help,” he said.

January, a month later than they
had hoped.
Tug Lyttelton Preservation Society
head stoker Mike Bruce said
the marine surveyor who oversaw
the tug’s sea trials on October
4 had given the society a list of
items to address before they could
carry passengers.
Though the society had funding
to address most of it, the time
frame pushed the date back from
December.
“It’s nothing major, It’s just time
and effort,” Mr Bruce said.
The list included the need to
add another emergency exit and
update flotation devices, fire
extinguishers, signage and communication
equipment.
The most difficult item to address
on the list was the requirement
for the lifeboat to be at least
2.8m long and capable of travelling
at 6km for two hours.
Mr Bruce said the society would
request an exemption for the
lifeboat requirement.

Quake survey
a bid to help
evacuation
planning
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
PEOPLE LIVING along the
Brighton coastline who evacuated
the night of the 2016 Kaikoura
earthquake are being called on to
take part in a research project.
Canterbury University is
aiming to survey as many
residents as possible to collect
data on the tsunami evacuation
response that took place following
the magnitude 7.8 earthquake
nearly two years ago.
Matthew Hughes, one of the
academics overseeing the project,
said the survey isn’t about asking
for opinions on the night of the
earthquake, it is about what
residents did in response to the
tsunami hazard.

Art on walls and around the world
THE LATEST local project
for street artist Wongi ‘Freak’
Wilson could potentially see his
art travelling all over the world.
He has just arrived back
from Taupo where he spent the
previous five days taking part in
Graffiato: Taupo Street Art Festival
but Wongi Wilson aka Freak,
is not slowing down.
“That (the art festival) was a
break from a relatively long-term
commission that I started in
September which will take me
into the new year. The Ministry
of Social Development approached
me to paint murals at
Te Punai Wai, each of the five
units are being refurbished and
I’m working my way through
each one consecutively as they’re
ready for me.
Freak has gained notoriety
not just in his home patch of
Christchurch but further afield –
a far cry for the man that used to
get on his hands and knees to lay
carpet for a living. Now he does
what he loves, still voicing his
opinion through his graffiti, but
getting paid for it.
“Street art is an intervention
from the mundane and that’s
extremely important. It’s also
proven to be an excellent attraction
for the tourism sector.”
CREATIVE: Wongi Wilson at work on a mural.
Another recent project was a
commission by Christchurch
Airport to create artwork for a
set of limited edition recyclable
bags.
“The airport approached me
and asked if I’d be interested in
designing the reusable bags as
part of the project. It took off
from there and the project grew
and they subsequently commissioned
me to paint the designs to
display at the airport,” he says.
The three designs depict Our
Place: Our City, Our Land and
Our Ocean. Freak drew inspiration
from iconic landmarks that
make Christchurch and the
South Island special.
The bags will be available
throughout November and
December at participating
airport retailers for customers
who spend $50 or more.

Our People
Tina Hutchison-Thomas
From Star Wars to wearable art
The colourful garments
seen on stage and
screen are the bread and
butter of Mt Pleasant’s
Tina Hutchison-Thomas.
Matt Salmons caught
up with the World of
Wearable Art New
Zealand design awardwinner
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Christchurch
and I’m basically a Cantabrian
through and through. I was here
for my whole life until I went to
Sydney. I did the fashion and
design course at CPIT. That was
a two-year course.
What about your family?
I met my husband Tim when
I was 14 and he was 16. He took
me to my first formal. We dated
for a couple of months and then
went our separate ways. We met
again at a friend’s 20th. We’ve
now got three children, Lily, 13,
Harry, 11, and Maddie, 9. They’re
all creative in their own right.
Lily is more an artist, Harry is
more into music and Maddie
is more into performing arts.
They see my long hours, but they
understand and see my passion.
Hopefully, that can evolve into a
passion for their careers.
What was your first job after
study?
My first job was with the
Southern Ballet as the wardrobe
mistress. It hadn’t had a
wardrobe mistress for ages and
the place was a bit of a wreck. I
was just up for any challenge so I
said ‘yes, I can do it’. The first big
end-of-year show I did required
30 tutus and I had no idea how to
make them. I pulled a tutu apart,
worked out how it was made and
then roped in a whole bunch of
ballet mums to get the job done.
That was my first experience of
a 70-hour week and strangely I
wanted to come back. I think it
was enough to get me hooked.
What do you like about
costume designing?
All my costume skills, I’ve
learned on the job. There’s way
more sowing and handwork than
you’d have in fashion. It’s much
more labour intensive which is
what I enjoy the most.
Where to from there?
There wasn’t a great deal of
costume work in Christchurch
so I jumped on a plane at 21 to
go to Sydney. I hated it, it was
awful. I wanted to go straight
into costume, but I didn’t have
enough experience so I ended up
in retail. I came back and worked
with the Court Theatre for three
years. One of my contacts got
work on Star Wars: Revenge of
the Sith. I put my hand up and
we went back to Sydney for four
years in 2003. That was a massive
eye-opener.
Did you work on any
costumes people would know?
I did Jimmy Smits’ costumes,
STUDIO: Tina Hutchison-Thomas at home in her studio with the World of Wearable Art
award she won for her Eye See you Fluffy Kōwhai costume design.
he was Bail Organa (in Star
Wars: Revenge of the Sith). I
also got to work on the actual
Darth Vader costume and a
bit of work on Keisha Castle-
Hughes’ costume. I was basically
in charge of the silk velvet. It’s
really temperamental. If you’re
making costumes, it’s your
least favourite fabric as it has a
mind of it’s own, it’s expensive
and it’s really hard to get. After
that, I free-lanced at Sydney
Theatre Company and Opera
Australia. I also worked for a
company that made costumes for
the touring show of Phantom of
the Opera in which they sent me
to South Africa and China.
When did you come back to
NZ?
I got pregnant when we were
in Sydney and we had our first
child over there. I got pregnant
again quite quickly and we
came back to Christchurch at
the end of 2006. I worked for a
little bit with Southern Opera
while having another child. I
then ended up back at the Court
Theatre. We’ll probably move
back to Sydney when the kids
grow up, who knows.
Was that when you landed the
job working on New Zealand
film The Stolen?
I got to design that, which was
really exciting as that had been
a life goal for me. I brought my
dear friend Joanna Grenke over
to help. She’s the menswear tailor
at Sydney Theatre Company. We
hired a whole bunch of locals
as well. It was a real challenge
but the Court Theatre was a
great resource and we hired
more costumes from Auckland.
Not only did I design all the
costumes, but I ran the costume
department, cut patterns,
stitched costumes, and worked as
a wardrobe standby. No wonder
I needed a break after that film.
There were so many extras, it
really pushes you to your limits.
I did at least one 100-hour week.
But I knew it would be tough and
I’m always up for a challenge.
Why did you leave the Court
Theatre?
I’d got to a point in my career
where I felt that I wanted the
next challenge, so I left and
have been working in freelance
costuming ever since. Then
WOW came up. I said ‘I’ll give
it a go’. I never thought I was
an arty kind of person, I was
always a purist when it came
to costume. My idea ‘geogami’
came up very quickly and just
evolved as I worked on it and
I got into the final, so that
was really exciting. It was a
great experience and it’s very
addictive. As soon as I came
back I was thinking about what
to do this year.
How was it working without
the constraints of a script?
I found that difficult. When
I’m designing for a show, it’s
much more collaborative. But
designing a costume without
constraints, it was a challenge.
And I really struggled writing
about the piece. For me, there
have always been guidelines, so
that was the hardest part. But
it was different, so that’s why I
liked it.
Where did the idea for this
year’s design come from?
For my entry this year,
I wanted to do something
completely different, which is
why everything was soft and
fluffy. I’d done spikes before.
Last year I saw what the judges
were looking for in the winning
designs. I knew they liked
sparkly detail and interesting use
of fabric. I put them all together
and ended up with the crazy
Fluffy Kōwhai inspired by the
poodle moth.
That’s not a common moth,
where did you hear about it?
One of the sections this year
was ‘under the microscope’.
So I was looking at moths and
butterflies and the poodle moth
caught my eye. I thought what
is that? I hadn’t seen a lot of fur
in other shows so I thought I’d
give it a go. It allowed me to do
both fabric dying and sparkly. I
spent ages doing the eyes, way
longer than I anticipated. The
problem was that I had four
other jobs on at the same time
to finish. I missed the shipping
deadline but my dad and my
step-mum offered to take it to
Nelson. I finished it at 5am and
they picked it up at 8am, it was a
bit of a mission. I’ve done some
long hours, but I’d never done an
all-nighter in my 20-something
years in costuming.
Will you enter next year?
I don’t know. I was just saying
to Tim this morning that maybe
that’s another box ticked for me.
It depends on the workload, but
that doesn’t seem to be a problem
for me, I just keep saying yes to
everything, so we’ll see.

All hands on deck for summer planting
With summer just around
the corner, it’s all hands on
deck to ensure a steady
harvest throughout the
summer months. Get
those heat-loving crops in
the ground ahead of the
warm, long days to come
BEFORE ANY of the following
crops can be planted, the soil
needs to be well nourished and
dug over. If the ground is dry,
it will need a good watering
before any crops go in. Blend
in soil conditioners, such as
sheep pellets and well-matured
compost, or a bit of both, then
add a dusting of vegetable
fertiliser and you are good to
grow.
Tomatoes
By now, if you have been
growing your own plants from
seed, the plants should be at a
size where they are ready for
transplanting into the garden.
Aim for seedings to be at least
10cm tall, however they can
three or four times that size too.
Position them in a sunny spot
away from any blustery winds,
and plant them deeply in the
soil. And don’t forget to stake
the plants – this is important
if you want a bumper crop, as
the stems can easily break with
the weight of the fruit and can
be damaged by wind. If room
is tight, and space is limited,
grafted tomatoes produce a
larger and more reliable crop on
one plant.
‘Big Boss’ is a new variety this
year. It is a beefsteak variety,
only grows to 1m tall and
produces loads of large fruit
that are about 0.5kg each. With
superb flavour and reliable
cropping ability, look out for
it and ask for it by name at
Oderings.
Eggplant
Plants will be in all the garden
centres now, so if you missed
sowing seeds, don’t panic. Plant
one to two plants per person in
the household. Eggplants need a
long, hot summer to thrive, so if
you live in a spot that hasn’t fully
warmed up yet, you can hold off
planting them out for another
month. They are an ideal crop
for large tubs and bins, just
ensure they have good drainage
as they hate wet feet. Be aware
that they are not a fast-growing
crop, and they do take a few
weeks to settle in before they
start actively growing.
Both grafted and seedling
hybrids are available in the
shops. Seed catalogues have a
huge selection of varieties and
it isn’t too late to sow seed – if
the plants are in the ground by
Christmas you will be fine.
‘Golden egg’ is a neat golfball-sized
yellow variety and one
of the best larger ones is ‘black
moon’.
Cucumber
Now the ground temperatures
are warm, and the coldest nights
are all but over, cucumbers can
be planted out. You still have
time to sow seeds, too – these
germinate in about one week,
and are ready to plant out within
a month. For the best results,
telegraph cucumbers do best in
a glasshouse or in a sheltered
spot in the garden. As they
begin to grow, the long tendrillike
branches scramble. Where
possible, tie these branches up to
keep the developing fruit off the
ground as this will ensure even
ripening. However, if the fruit
get too heavy on the vine and
move about in the wind they can
snap off, so, in areas where wind
protection is not guaranteed, it
is best to leave cucumber to trail
along the ground – a few pale
patches on the bottom side of a
cucumber is better than nothing.
A reliable smooth-skinned
telegraph variety is ‘english
greengrocer’ (see kings seeds).
Apple cucumbers are neat, with
their pale creamy white flesh
and skin, and for those who
enjoy the smaller, more intensely
flavoured cucumbers look for
the Lebanese types. These are
ideal for growing along the
ground.
Kūmara
For gardeners who live in cold
regions, apologies, but kūmara
won’t easily grow for you – they
require a long, hot season.
Bundles of cuttings are in
the shops now and should be
planted in well-prepared and
dug-over soil, on mounds,
roughly 30–50cm apart. The
plants take a few weeks to settle
in and, by Christmas,
the plants will be actively
growing, almost like triffids,
if the conditions are ideal. Water
as required when the soil dries
out. Harvest should be done
before the frosts arrive as the
crop needs to cure in the sun.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
STRAWBERRY PARFAIT
Ingredients
1 cup greek yogurt
4 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons honey
1½ cups strawberries, hulled and
quartered
2 tablespoons sugar
Directions
Put strawberries and sugar
in a saucepan and cook over
medium-low heat for about 5min
until it gets juicy and tender. Let
it cool completely.
Whisk yogurt and water until
creamy. Stir in honey.
Put 2 tablespoons yogurt into
a glass.
Cover it with cooked strawberries.
Make another layer of yogurt
over strawberries.
Put cooked strawberries over
it.
Repeat for other glasses.

Garnish with drinking chocolate.
PAN-SEARED PORK
STEAKS AND STEAMED
ASPARAGUS
Ingredients
4 ribeye pork steaks
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked pepper or
peppercorns
1 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves roasted garlic
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Bunch of asparagus spears
Directions
Season the pork steaks
with salt and peppercorns.
Allow them to come to room
temperature for about 30min.
Heat a heavy bottom pan
(preferably cast iron) that will fit
all the steaks over high heat. Add
the oil. When the oil shimmers
in the pan and begins to move,
it’s time to add the steaks. Carefully
add them, one at a time, to
the pan. Allow to cook without
moving for 5min.
After five minutes, flip the
steaks. By this point, the oil
should be very hot. Turn the heat
down to medium-high after the
steaks have all been flipped. Add
in the roasted garlic.
After 3min, add in the butter
and reduce the heat to medium
low.
Continue until the steaks are
cooked through.
•Cooking times are going to
vary with the thickness of your
steaks. The thicker the meat, the
longer the cook time.
•Serve with cooked asparagus,
steamed or, for simplicity, cook
for 4min in a microwave.

Toyota Corolla hybrid
beats rising fuel prices
I’VE OFTEN been told it’s
the little things that count,
looking after the pennies
and the pounds will take
care of themselves, is a
saying I relate to.
It may seem a small
point, but Toyota’s new
Corolla hybrid is rated
to run on 91-octane fuel,
down from 95-octane the
previous model needed. If
you take into account the
cost of fuel these days –
$2.35 per litre at the time
this evaluation went to
print, against $2.45 for premium
– the savings over
time will certainly add up.
Take into account, too,
that the Corolla hybrid is
regarded as a fuel miser in
the first instance, then it’s
no wonder that the world is
looking at electric power as
the answer to our reliance
on fossil fuel.
The entire Corolla
range has entered its 12thgeneration,
as opposed to
a totally new car, the latest
Corolla is more of an
upgrade, however, it’s a
substantial upgrade, there’s
a new chassis structure and
in both hybrid and nonhybrid
forms there have
been significant driveline
enhancements.
There are five Corolla
models – two of those are
hybrid. I’m due to drive the
traditional petrol model
later in the year, this evaluation
focuses on the rangetopping
ZR hybrid.
In its latest iteration, the
Corolla has come a long
way, build quality is superb,
and it feels just so right to
be in. In ZR form it carries
a lot of kit – head-up
display, satellite navigation,
combination leather trim,
heated seats up front, and
a raft of other specification
which, for a car listing at
just $38,490, is amazing
given you also get the benefits
of hybrid technology.
Toyota rates the Corolla
hybrid with a 4.2-litre per
100km (67mpg) combined
cycle average. The
trip computer was listing
an impressive 5.3l/100km
(53mpg) average when I
took the evaluation car
back to the dealership.
Based around the
mechanicals which have
made Prius a household
word in terms of hybrid
technology, the Corolla
hybrid utilises a 1.8-litre
petrol engine coupled to the
Synergy Drive system which
transfers power though a
continuously variable automatic
transmission.
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
TOYOTA COROLLA HYBRID: Fuel-friendly.
The petrol/electric combination
develops a total of
around 90kW and 142Nm,
varying at any given time
depending on whether
the engine is active and/or
batteries are supplying the
drive.
• Price – Toyota
Corolla ZR hybrid,
$38,490
• Dimensions –
Length, 4370mm;
width, 1790mm;
height, 1435mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1798cc,
90kW, 142Nm,
continuously
variable automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11sec
• Fuel usage –
4.2l/100km
Of course, electric propulsion
is the ultimate
aim, and if situations
allowed, that would be the
case but, of course, battery
capacity is constantly
exhausted, and as a vehicle
it is required to accelerate
and maintain momentum,
which is why the petrol
engine operates at will.
The entire process is
seamless, and Toyota has
indicated it has done more
work to make that transition
even more fluid. With
the quiet way in which the
engine works, it’s really
hard to pick up the points
at where the petrol engine
is cutting in and out.
When it comes time to
tackle a quick corner or
two, the Corolla hybrid
steers with precision and
reacts favourably to steering
input. If you also take
into account that the batteries
create a more even
front/rear weight distribution,
body movement is
well balanced and there is
just gentle movement over
the suspension.
In ZR form the tyres
are a sport specification
Dunlop type (225/45 x
18in), they offer substantial
The Star
grip and strong steering
feel for the driver.
I took the test car on
a quick burst through
Gebbies Pass from
Motukarara to Teddington
and return, those steep
hilly sections were no trouble
to the hybrid system,
and the handling was absolutely
delightful, it steers
directly and reacts quickly
to steering input, the tyre/
chassis/suspension combination
promotes a sporty
feel.
However, the Corolla
hybrid can’t be considered
a quick car, but it
will return a standstill to
100km/h acceleration time
of 11sec, which suggests
that it still has respectable
speed, which we have come
to expect from hybrids and
electric vehicles in total.
It seems a long time ago
that Corolla relinquished
its mantle as New Zealand’s
top-selling motor vehicle,
a position it held for many
years.
Of course, as history has
served to prove, utes are
now the vehicles of choice
for our market, however,
what Toyota has done with
Corolla means it is still
fighting to get that top spot
back, the hybrid is a clever
piece of kit, and it is a car
which you just drive as
normal and wonder where
the difference between it
and the standard model
lies; that is until you go to
fill up and the savings will
immediately be obvious.
If you are in the market
for a new car and the idea
of hybrid appeals to you
but ZR specification is out
of range, there’s a low-spec
GX model which would
probably be my choice at
$32,990. Take into account,
too, that each of these cars
is at least $10,000 cheaper
than the Prius, which, to my
way of thinking, represents
great value.
As an aside, also take into
account there is an eightyear/160,000km
battery
warranty.

A man of marathons, meditation, music
Vajin Armstrong has
run close to 10,000km
across the 21 countries
he has visited this
year to date. The ultramarathon
runner has
recently returned to
Christchurch for the
summer after a busy
winter season in the
Northern Hemisphere.
Gordon Findlater
reports
MOST PEOPLE would think
you’d need to be mad to run
close to 250km across six days
in the Sahara Desert. However,
that was a bucket list moment
for Vajin Armstrong in April
when he finished eighth at the
Marathon des Sables.
The event in southern Morocco
is widely regarded as the world’s
toughest foot race. To add to
the challenge it is self-sufficient
meaning Armstrong had to
carry everything he needed for
the entire race on his back.
Half the challenge of the event
came down to what to pack in
your backpack which had to
carry a minimum weight of
6.5kg.
A decision on what weight
sleeping blanket to take for the
surprisingly cold nights in the
Sahara or whether or not to pack
a gas cooker played a big role in
the race. Adding an 8kg pack to
his 60kg frame was noticeable
early for Armstrong who battled
with shoulder pains on the first
evening. He says most of the
elite runners choose not to take a
cooking device.
“For me you take your freeze
dried meal, mix it with water
and put it out in the sun. You’d
leave it out there for an hour or
so and it would get hot enough
. . . it was never a culinary treat
but you’re just trying to get the
calories back in,” said Armstrong.
Armstrong finished the race
in a total time of 22hr 36min. Of
the 1078 entrants 934 finished
the race.
“I found it be a really
transformative experience.”
“We all have a lot more
strength and capacity than we
often are aware of, because we
never get challenged or pushed
far enough where we have to
bring forward that strength we
have within us.”
Armstrong had success as a
teenager with middle distance
running but became disconnected
with running until
he completed his first ultramarathon
in 2009. He then went
onto win his first of three Kepla
Challenge titles in 2010 and has
been racking up races of huge
distance since.
He now trains between 20-25
hours a week where he clocks up
anywhere around 200km.
The other highlight of the
recent Northern Hemisphere
trip was third place finish at the
renowned Gornergrat Zermatt
Marathon in Switzerland. It was
Armstrong’s fourth time competing
in the race but first time
he had finished on the podium.
“You start at 1000m above sea
level and finish at about 2500m.”
SCENERY:
Armstrong
on his way
to a second
place finish
in the 85km
Swiss alpine
marathon in
July. (Above):
Armstrong at
his St Asaph
St music
store where
he imports
and sells
instruments.
Armstrong has already lined
up his next bucket list event – the
Comrades Marathon in South
Africa. The event in June will see
25,000 runners take on the 90km
course between Durban and
Pietermaritzburg which has been
run annually since 1921.
“My goal now with my running
is to travel, visit new places,
share and connect experiences
and meet new people.”
His job also has an international
flavour. Armstrong
imports and sells musical instruments
from all parts of the world
at his store – Gandharva Loka –
in St Asaph St.
Another big part of Armstrong’s
life has been meditation.
“For me meditation really
helps with running. One of the
big limiting factors when you’re
out there for a long time is your
own mind. Often your mind
gives up before your body does.”
Given the name Luke at
birth, Armstrong later took the
spiritual name, Vajin, which was
given by his meditation teacher
Sri Chinmoy. The name means
Strong, spirited and heroic.
“He gave me that name in 2007
just before he passed away . . .
the idea with the name is to give
you inspiration to aspire towards
bringing some of those qualities
to the fore.”
Targa title for
father and son
CHRISTCHURCH father and son
team Stewart and Rory Callaway
returned home with the production
four-wheel-drive overall title, based
on the results of the two Targa
rallies held this year.
At the Targa NZ held in Otago
and Southland last week the pair
finished eighth overall and first in
the production 4WD class. Their
overall time of 3hr 43min 12sec saw
them pip Andy Oakley and Steve
Hutchins in their Audi A4 by nearly
3min.
Last year was the pair’s first Targa
showing, when they finished 23rd
and shared the driving. This year,
Rory, 25, the youngest driver in the
field, took hold of the steering wheel.
The overall title was won by
the Auckland pairing of Glenn
Inkster and Spencer Winn in their
Mitsubishi Evo 8 in a time of 3hr
29min 13sec.
Near perfect record for golfers
CANTERBURY’S MEN’S and

Playing at Invercargill the

matches out of a total 32. Strong
individual performances by
Hillary O’Connor, Amy Weng,
Maddie May and Mel Newburn,

ensured the Canterbury win.
Meanwhile, the men – playing

feeder team at
Nga Puna Wai
CANTERBURY RUGBY
League will christen its new
facilities at Nga Puna Wai
on February 23 with a match
between the Canterbury Bulls
and the Warriors’ InTrust Super
Premiership team.
The Bulls’ clash is part of a

well as the annual Crosbie and
Rolleston Nines tournaments, the
region will also host the Manly-
Warriors NRL match on March
30 prior to the CRL club competitions
kicking off.
“It’s something that’s been in
the pipeline for a while, before my
time,” CRL chief executive Duane
Fyfe said.
“It is a coup, though the timing
means the facility won’t be
completely finished, so that will
restrict the numbers we can have
at the match.
“But we’re very happy with the
amount of people we’ll be able to
get into the grounds – 2500-3000
people is the capacity until the
grandstand is finished.”
The move to Nga Puna Wai
rates among the most significant
developments for Canterbury

“We know from our history

cherish having a spiritual home,
and we hope Nga Puna Wai will
provide that for us again with a

UC stars in Crusaders
• By Gordon Findlater
IT’S A case of coming through
the system for the new faces in
the Crusaders 38-man squad
which was named at Rugby Park
yesterday for the 2019 Super
Rugby season.
New Crusaders signings Ngane
Punivai, Leicester Faingaanuku
and Harry Allen have all been on
the Crusaders radar since their
time at secondary school playing
in the UC Championship - having
all previously played for the
Crusaders under-18 team.
Faingaanuku, 18, has been
part of the Crusaders academy
since 15 when he was a year-11
student at Nelson College.
“I was fortunate enough last
year to come in and experience
the environment with the Crusaders.
To get the phone call this
year and be told I was going to
be part of the Crusaders family
was a dream come true,” said
Faingaanuku.
The winger was unable to
feature much for Tasman in
the Mitre 10 Cup due to injury.
However, the Crusaders coaching
staff has big wraps on him.
His fellow Crusaders and Tasman
teammate Will Jordan has
also believed Faingaanuku was
destined for big things when
we first came up against him at
secondary school level.
“He was a big boy back then
and I think he probably ran over
me a few times. I know he’ll have
a really great year,” said Jordan.
YOUNGSTER: Leicester Faingaanuku is a player Scott
Robertson hopes can fill the void left by powerful winger Seta
Tamanivalu.

Punivai is another exciting
young back to make the step up
to Super Rugby for the first time.
The 20-year-old admitted to not
being able to hold back the tears
when he received the news he
had made the squad. He was also
quick to point out one person in
particular who had helped him
get to this stage of his career.
“My dad,” said Punivai.
“He’s been there right from
the younger grades. Home or
away games he will always be
there and give me his two cents.
Sometime’s I’ll take it on board,
but he’s been my rock and always
supported me.”

prop Allen has also came
through the Crusaders’ system
from secondary school. The
21-year-old is excited to come

“I’m a sponge just trying to

Make the punishment fit the crime
IT ONLY seems like yesterday
when Australian cricket was
thrown into turmoil due to the
ball tampering incident in South
Africa in March which saw
Cameron Bancroft rub sandpaper
on the match ball to try and create
an unfair advantage for his side.
Since then Bancroft was given
a ninemonth ban while Australian
captain Steve Smith and
David Warner were handed what
still to me feel like slap on the
wrist 12-month bans. However,
after a recent scathing independent
review of Cricket Australia,
there have been calls to reduce
the bans on Smith and Warner,
and instead heap a larger share
of the responsibility for the incident
onto the organisation itself.
Are we forgetting the fact
these guys planned and executed
an operation where sandpaper
was concealed and bought onto
the field of play to alter the ball.
When it comes to creating
an unfair advantage which will
cause the ball to generate extra
swing through the air is surely
about as high on the spectrum
as you can go, so why didn’t the
bans reflect this?
Let’s look at some of cricket’s
other famous bans over the years
to give a bit of perspective.
In 2003 Shane Warne was
given a 12-month ban from the
Australian Cricket Board for using
a banned drug Moduretic – a
fluid-reduction tablet – which
even the committee who handed
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
him the ban accepted would not
have enhanced Warne’s performance.
In 2010 Pakistan pace bowler
Mohammad Amir bowled three
no-balls in a test against England
in a spot-fixing scandal which
saw him banned for five years.
When it comes to match-fixing
a staunch stance has been taken
by international cricket and
countless former players.
We saw this unfold for Lou
Vincent who was given a life ban
in 2014 for purposely underperforming
for money. Yes, what
he did got what at the time felt
like the right treatment. None of
this happened at the game’s elite
level and mostly in a rebel league
in Pakistan.
His case also has somewhat
of a “don’t worry everyone is
doing it” when it came to why he
chose the actions he did – much
like the Tour de France doping
scandals. We seem to be obsessed
when it comes to bans on
anything we feel like we know is
widely happening but struggle to
prove. It seems we’re obliged to
hand out the maximum
penalty to send a message.
Is that the right approach to
have when Bancroft, Smith and
Warner got a slap on the wrist?
For me in cricket, the impact
of bowling a handful of no balls
in a test match or a player being
on a performance enhancing
drug v using sandpaper to generate
swing throughout an entire
match aren’t even in the same
league when it comes to the outcome
they will have on a match,
so why don’t we have the same
approach when it comes to their
punishments.

Licensed Agent REAA 2008
When you’re selling a property you get to
decide how the open home process is run. If you’re
working with a real estate agent, this is will be
part of the marketing plan that you agree upon
with them before you sign the agency agreement.
The real estate agent will advise you on the
timing and frequency of open homes, or any other
viewings. If there is anything you are uncertain
about, talk to the agent and make your feelings
clear. There’s no law that you have to have open
homes – you may decide that you’d rather have
viewings by appointment only.
“Bear in mind though that in order to sell
your home, people will have to see it,” says Kevin
Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate
Authority (REA). “You may have to be flexible
on when viewings are held, even if they are not
particularly convenient.”
When it comes to the marketing and selling
process of your home it’s a good idea to look at
things from the perspective of the real estate
agent and any prospective purchaser, Lampen-
Smith says.
“Open homes often attract people who are just
browsing to see what’s around, or neighbours who
have always wanted to see what ‘that house at
number 10’ is like. The agent will report back to
you after the open home to let you know the level of
interest – if they have kept an electronic or paper
record of visitors it will give you an indication of
how many visitors were sticky beaks from down the
street.”
In an ideal world, people will treat your home
with respect when viewing it, he says.
“If you suspect they will need reminding,
request that the agent asks visitors to remove
any wet weather gear or shoes before entering.

What you need to know about Open
Homes when you’re selling a property
Most people go on a major cleaning, tidying and
de-cluttering mission before putting a property
on the market, which will make it much easier to
prepare it for an open home. It’s a good idea to
clear away any valuables or personal items (if time
is short, dump them all in a washing basket that
you can pick up and take with you) and use your
own common sense about what you want strangers
to see.”
Don’t shove things into cupboards or wardrobes
– prospective buyers will be keen to gauge storage
capacity. Remember that families with small
children could be going through your property and
delicate ornaments or family heirlooms might be
better out of harm’s way.
Selling a property can be a stressful time, but
you’ll make it much easier on yourself if you work
out a plan of attack, including getting the advice
of professionals along the way, Lampen-Smith
says.
“Present your home well and it’s more likely to
attract another set of owners.”
