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 />

“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 />

Said Canterbury University<br />

“UC cannot respond to allegations<br />

She referred the questions<br />

Big scare for cancer nurse<br />

Mother of<br />

three to<br />

start chemo<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

ANNA PHILIPS has spent<br />

11 years caring for patients<br />

undergoing cancer treatment.<br />

Now it’s her turn. <strong>The</strong> 36-yearold<br />

has been diagnosed with<br />

bone cancer while on maternity<br />

leave after having her third<br />

child.<br />

Mrs Philips will begin<br />

chemotherapy on Monday.<br />

“It was all very sudden and<br />

very scary of course, given I<br />

am an oncology nurse and I<br />

know too much about these<br />

situations,” the Christchurch<br />

Hospital nurse said of her<br />

diagnosis.<br />

Test results show Mrs Philips’<br />

cancer is contained within<br />

her left femur. But a surgical<br />

biopsy confirmed it is the “more<br />

aggressive type.”<br />

“Emotionally, it’s been very<br />

much a roller coaster ride,” she<br />

said.<br />

A pain had developed in her<br />

left leg about a year ago when<br />

she was pregnant, but she did<br />

not think anything of it.<br />

But months after giving birth<br />

to Isabella, the pain “really<br />

started to play up again.”<br />

Exercises from the osteopath<br />

weren’t helping so Mrs Philips<br />

went to her doctor.<br />

JOURNEY: Anna and Andy Philips<br />

with Oscar, Fletcher and Isabella.<br />

LITTLE POPPITS PHOTOGRAPHY ​<br />

“Almost immediately that day<br />

she (the doctor) was suspicious<br />

it was something sinister,” Mrs<br />

Philips said.<br />

Within hours tests confirmed<br />

the mother of three had<br />

parosteal osteosarcoma.<br />

Mrs Philips has spent the past<br />

11 years working as an oncology<br />

nurse at Christchurch Hospital<br />

in the ward and the outpatients<br />

area, where her duties included<br />

administering chemotherapy<br />

to patients. She was inspired to<br />

become a nurse because of the<br />

death of her 21-year-old brother,<br />

Dustin, from cancer.<br />

“It’s kind of unbelievable to<br />

think that this has happened<br />

again,” Mrs Philips said.<br />

She says the diagnosis “creates<br />

a lot more fear” because she has<br />

www.selwynsounds.co.nz<br />

2019<br />

seen “the worst of the<br />

worst.”<br />

“It’s been really hard<br />

for me emotionally<br />

to stay positive,” Mrs<br />

Philips said.<br />

Her husband Andy<br />

is a self-employed<br />

auto-electrician. She is<br />

worried about the impact<br />

cancer will have on their<br />

family. <strong>The</strong>ir children<br />

are aged between<br />

three-years-old and six<br />

months.<br />

“When your selfemployed<br />

you don’t get<br />

holidays or sick pay so<br />

it’s very difficult for him<br />

to take time off,” she<br />

said. More than $1600<br />

has been donated to<br />

Mrs Philips through a<br />

Givealittle page set up by<br />

a group of her friends.<br />

Mrs Philips says she’s<br />

grateful for her work<br />

colleagues, friends and<br />

family who have been<br />

just “amazing.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> money raised<br />

through the Givealittle<br />

page will help relieve<br />

the family’s financial<br />

pressure, paying for child care<br />

and giving Mr Philips some time<br />

off to help out.<br />

rugby player<br />

Nearly $90k for boxer’s family<br />

•From page 1<br />

“Kain was their main source<br />

of income, so this will provide<br />

them a bit of a buffer.”<br />

Messages of condolences<br />

on the Givealittle page say Mr<br />

Parsons was “a great bloke,”<br />

“kind and wonderful man”<br />

with a “selfless, warm-hearted<br />

personality.”<br />

Mr Parsons was prohect manager<br />

at Versatile Garages.<br />

In a statement last week, his<br />

family said Mr Parsons gave his<br />

life in pursuit of raising money<br />

for those less fortunate. He was<br />

fighting to raise money for Conductive<br />

Education.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> outpouring of heartfelt<br />

support from family, friends,<br />

colleagues and the public has<br />

been humbling and very much<br />

appreciated . . . his enormous<br />

WHEN EVA Mulken was about<br />

eight she would walk through<br />

German checkpoints in her<br />

native Holland, not knowing she<br />

was secretly carrying messages to<br />

the Resistance.<br />

Now, almost 80 years later, Mrs<br />

Mulken has shared her World<br />

War 2 story in a book, Never<br />

Forget, by Christchurch author Jo<br />

Bailey.<br />

Her father Dirk de Konning,<br />

head of the Dutch Resistance at<br />

Rotterdam in the Netherlands,<br />

put the messages in the hem of<br />

her coat, knowing she would<br />

never be stopped by the German<br />

soldiers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> soldiers had grown fond of<br />

Mrs Mulken and her family, as<br />

they were occupying their farm<br />

on the outskirts of Rotterdam.<br />

It was used as a heavy artillery<br />

base.<br />

One solider in particular who<br />

Mrs Mulken befriended was<br />

Oscar Stamuller, a father of four<br />

from a town near Heidelberg in<br />

Germany.<br />

“We adjusted well to having<br />

the German soldiers on the<br />

REMEMBERING: Eva Mulken with a photo of herself when<br />

she was younger. She has shared her story in a new book<br />

called Never Forget available at www.jobailey.com.<br />

farm. Most of them were farmers<br />

from the Rhine and were good,<br />

ordinary men, who like so many<br />

soldiers on both sides, never<br />

wanted to go to war,” said Mrs<br />

Mulken.<br />

“Oscar was very special. He<br />

used to teach me how to sing<br />

songs in German and he used to<br />

sing all the time. He used to lift<br />

us up and throw us around. He<br />

had a daughter around my age.”<br />

Thursday <strong>November</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 5<br />

took messages to the Resistance<br />

WAR TIMES: Eva Mulken (white dress) and her brothers and sisters on the family farm with a German solider called Oscar Stamuller. <strong>The</strong> story of how<br />

Mrs Mulken would walk through German checkpoints (right) secretly carrying messages to the Resistance has been told in the new book Never Forget.<br />

Mrs Mulken and her<br />

mother Christine, even wrote<br />

to Mr Stamuller’s mother in<br />

Germany. He was later sent to<br />

the Russian front and never<br />

returned.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Germans invaded the<br />

Netherlands in May 1940. <strong>The</strong><br />

Rotterdam Blitz, a key part of<br />

the German invasion, killed<br />

hundreds and displaced 80,000<br />

people.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city was split into four<br />

zones, separated by roadblocks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dutch Resistance force<br />

in Rotterdam, led by Mr de<br />

Konning, would decode messages<br />

on transmitters and send them to<br />

contacts in England.<br />

Unaware at the time, Mrs<br />

Mulken would help deliver these<br />

messages to the right people<br />

when she walked through the<br />

roadblocks.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y also rescued downed<br />

Allied airman and helped to<br />

smuggle them out of the city,<br />

where they would be picked up<br />

by fishing boats and taken back<br />

to England.<br />

“My father helped to save<br />

the lives of many British and<br />

American pilots during the war<br />

. . . he was a hard-worker, he was<br />

a hero.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> de Konning family<br />

also took in several orphaned<br />

children following the bombings,<br />

and offered work on their farm to<br />

as many people as they could.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dangerous task of sending<br />

Mrs Mulken with messages could<br />

have got her whole family shot,<br />

she said.<br />

Mrs Mulken migrated to New<br />

Zealand with her husband John<br />

Mulken and their two children,<br />

Christina and John, in the late<br />

1950s in search of work.<br />

Only recently did she begin<br />

to share her story publicly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> full story of Mrs Mulken’s<br />

experience, along with five other<br />

stories, have been shared in<br />

Bailey’s new book.<br />

Mrs Mulken and her husband<br />

spent two years in Greymouth<br />

before moving to Christchurch,<br />

which she has called home ever<br />

since.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y went on to set up the Blue<br />

Mill Milk Bar in Sydenham.<br />

Eva is now retired and lives in<br />

Riccarton. Mr Mulken passed<br />

away from cancer in 1994.<br />

Her mother died from a heart<br />

attack, shortly after the war was<br />

over and her father died in the<br />

1990s aged 94.<br />

Eva said sharing her story<br />

“brought it all back to<br />

life.” “<strong>The</strong> things we saw . . .<br />

we went through so much in<br />

those five years. I will never<br />

forget.”<br />

Offer of free water slammed<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

CONTROVERSIAL bottling<br />

company Cloud Ocean Water<br />

has been slammed for trying to<br />

sponsor sports and community<br />

groups – with free water.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Chinese-owned company<br />

wants to give junior Belfast<br />

rugby touch<br />

teams 500<br />

bottles a week,<br />

and provide<br />

water to Belfast<br />

Community<br />

Network<br />

events.<br />

Lynda<br />

Goodrick<br />

<strong>The</strong> company<br />

is based<br />

in Belfast.<br />

Aotearoa Water Action, which<br />

has taken court action against<br />

Cloud Ocean, spokesman Peter<br />

Richardson said he was “disgusted”<br />

about the offers.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re just trying to splash<br />

around money to buy public<br />

opinion but where do you stop?<br />

People need to have an ethical<br />

compass,” he said.<br />

Ocean Cloud was served an<br />

abatement notice in August for<br />

taking water without informing<br />

authorities. <strong>The</strong> company<br />

blamed monitoring equipment,<br />

which was not sending data to<br />

OUTREACH: Cloud Ocean Water has offered Belfast<br />

community organisations free water.<br />

Environment Canterbury.<br />

It currently has a resource<br />

consent, which cost $2277, to<br />

take 1.5 billion litres of water a<br />

year that will be sold overseas. It<br />

is now seeking resource consent<br />

from ECan to take more water<br />

from a second bore. But last week<br />

the city council came out strongly<br />

opposing a second consent.<br />

Belfast Rugby Football Club<br />

president Dave Pilkington said<br />

it had not been formalised yet,<br />

but an offer for about 500 bottles<br />

of water a week had been put to<br />

them for the junior touch teams.<br />

“If you’re anti them taking the<br />

water, you can look at it as a PR<br />

drive. But in my opinion, they’re<br />

an employer in the community,<br />

who will employ locals and<br />

wants to be involved in the community,”<br />

said Mr Pilkington.<br />

“I don’t see it as a bribe, I see it<br />

as business.”<br />

Turning it down would<br />

“achieve nothing,” he said.<br />

“We really seek anything we<br />

can get. In today’s sporting environment<br />

it’s hard to get money.”<br />

Belfast Community Network<br />

chief executive Lynda Goodrick<br />

said it had been also offered<br />

water.<br />

“If we did want any water for<br />

community events and things,<br />

they said all we needed to do was<br />

ask.<br />

“I’m sure it is a PR exercise,<br />

but we only hear one side of the<br />

story through the media so I<br />

understand that they’re telling<br />

theirs too,” she said.<br />

“I’m really conflicted. But<br />

they’re not doing anything illegal<br />

and they’re working within<br />

their consent.”<br />

Cloud Ocean Water did not<br />

respond to questions from <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Star</strong>.<br />

Local community groups<br />

like the Belfast Community<br />

Network and the Rotary Club<br />

of Belfast Kaiapoi, as well as the<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

and Papanui-Innes community<br />

boards have been taken on tours<br />

through the plant.<br />

Harewood Ward city<br />

councillor Aaron Keown said<br />

it “probably” was just public<br />

relations.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re not fully in touch<br />

with their local community and<br />

they need to be.”<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood board member Aaron<br />

Campbell said: “It’s a PR exercise<br />

to play catch-up on 12 months of<br />

pretty bad press.”<br />

lowering<br />

speed limits<br />

ABOUT TWO-THIRDS of<br />

people do not want to see more<br />

parts of the central city with<br />

30km/h speed limits.<br />

A proposal for a 30km/h speed<br />

limit on St Asaph St and sections<br />

of Hagley Ave and Riccarton Ave<br />

at Hospital Corner has had more<br />

than 700 public submissions.<br />

It also included a 10km/h speed<br />

limit on Oxford Tce and Antigua<br />

St alongside the new outpatients<br />

building.<br />

<strong>The</strong> majority of the 737 submissions<br />

– around two thirds – oppose<br />

lowering speed limits.<br />

However, an independent<br />

technical note from engineering<br />

companies Beca and Stantec said<br />

the 30km/h limit was a good idea.<br />

City council staff are preparing<br />

a report on the submissions received,<br />

which will be presented to<br />

a hearings panel on Wednesday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> panel will make recommendations<br />

on the proposed<br />

speed limit changes to the city<br />

council.<br />

When it was announced, city<br />

Striking teachers hit the streets again<br />

AFTER thousands of teachers<br />

walked off the job around the<br />

city yesterday, the rest of the<br />

South Island will be taking<br />

strike action today.<br />

Yesterday Christchurch<br />

teachers met at Horncastle<br />

Arena at 11am before waving<br />

placards and chanting on a<br />

march from Riccarton to Hagley<br />

Park.<br />

<strong>The</strong> teachers were on strike for<br />

the second time in three months,<br />

calling for better pay. It comes as<br />

the Ministry of Education’s latest<br />

pay offer of an additional $698<br />

million over three years was<br />

rejected.<br />

<strong>The</strong> strike action in the South<br />

Island followed teachers striking<br />

throughout the North Island<br />

except for Wellington.<br />

Regenerate Christchurch is responsible for developing the<br />

regeneration plan for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor and has<br />

considered thousands of ideas from the community, as well as<br />

surveys, technical reports and studies.<br />

We are now pleased to invite written comments on the<br />

following documents from 14 <strong>November</strong> <strong>2018</strong>:<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Draft Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan, with the primary purpose<br />

of enabling short, medium and long-term uses of approximately 600ha of land within the<br />

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor, including the area previously known as the residential red zone.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Proposed Partial Revocation of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan and the<br />

Proposed Partial Revocation of the Land Use Recovery Plan, which would, in combination<br />

(if approved) result in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan being the sole<br />

Regeneration/Recovery Plan applying to the regeneration area.<br />

Bid to curb noise from<br />

Bealey Ave boy racers<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

A MULTI-AGENCY<br />

approach is being taken<br />

to deal with boy racer<br />

problems on Bealey Ave.<br />

Christchurch Central<br />

MP Duncan Webb, Central<br />

Ward city councillor Deon<br />

Swiggs and Canterbury<br />

Metro Area Commander<br />

Superintendent Lane Todd<br />

met with key stakeholders<br />

along Bealey Ave, including<br />

a number of moteliers.<br />

“It’s all about noise.<br />

When people cruise up and<br />

down and make a lot of<br />

noise, it’s not good. But it’s<br />

quite hard to stop people<br />

driving a car down<br />

the road. That’s<br />

perfectly legal,” Dr<br />

Webb said.<br />

He said it was<br />

particularly difficult<br />

for people running<br />

motels for a living,<br />

Duncan<br />

Webb<br />

especially as they<br />

were also battling<br />

online accommodation<br />

sites like Airbnb.<br />

“Business is hard on<br />

them. It’s their job to provide<br />

people a good night’s<br />

sleep and right now they’re<br />

not able to do that all of the<br />

time.”<br />

However, Dr Webb said<br />

the group was taking<br />

a multi-agency<br />

approach.<br />

“I’ve been to<br />

making sure the<br />

Government is involved,”<br />

Dr Webb<br />

said.<br />

Superintendent<br />

Todd said there is a police<br />

presence in the area.<br />

“From police perspective<br />

we have a dedicated road<br />

policing team that has a<br />

focus on this, they run several<br />

operations and work<br />

closely with key agencies.”<br />

Cr Swiggs would be<br />

investigating the issue from<br />

a city council perspective,<br />

including changing the<br />

phasing of traffic lights.<br />

Dr Webb said it may be<br />

a simple issue to get on top<br />

of, but he understood it had<br />

been a problem in the area<br />

for a long time.<br />

“It seems to be one of<br />

those things that quietens<br />

down for a bit, then comes<br />

back,” he said.<br />

News<br />

Miner, journo to stay-at-home dad<br />

Matt Salmons’ working life has stretched from mining to being a journalist at <strong>Star</strong> Media. Tomorrow he<br />

puts down his pen and pad to become a stay-at-home dad. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> will follow Matt’s new adventure with<br />

10-month-old daughter Vittoria in a weekly column<br />

I’VE ALWAYS wanted to be<br />

a dad.<br />

I haven’t always been great<br />

with kids or anything, but it<br />

seemed like a damn fine idea.<br />

However, I’d never thought<br />

I would like to be a full-time<br />

dad.<br />

So I surprised myself when<br />

I said yes so quickly to my<br />

wife Laura’s question – “would<br />

you want to be a stay-at-home<br />

dad?”<br />

I had zero need to think it<br />

over – it was a decision I made<br />

subconsciously. After all, I love<br />

my darling daughter Vittoria,<br />

what can I say?<br />

With our country’s beloved<br />

first-man Clarke Gayford<br />

leading the charge, I certainly<br />

felt confident in my decision.<br />

And with Mr Gayford<br />

retiring from the illustrious<br />

post, dare I say it, maybe I<br />

could become the nation’s<br />

leading cardigan-draped<br />

crusader?<br />

But as the time for me to<br />

take over draws nearer, the<br />

actual logistics of what’s<br />

coming become apparent.<br />

Laura has spent more than<br />

10 months learning exactly<br />

what to do and when.<br />

Even with all the changes<br />

in baby, she just seems to<br />

know what Vittoria needs and<br />

when she needs it. When she’s<br />

hungry, tired, thirsty or has<br />

a dirty nappy. Well, actually,<br />

that last one’s pretty obvious.<br />

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not<br />

saying I’m useless here. A day<br />

or two after Vittoria was born,<br />

I’d already changed 200 per<br />

cent more nappies and been<br />

to more kids events than my<br />

grandfather and he had six<br />

kids.<br />

I’ve also looked after<br />

Vittoria on my tod for<br />

extended periods, too, just<br />

not every day in the same way<br />

Laura has.<br />

No, my concern is that I’m<br />

essentially coming into a new<br />

job, with a boss who literally<br />

has no empathy (because I<br />

need to teach her that) and I’m<br />

only qualified to do it parttime.<br />

So I’ll be taking notes and<br />

gearing myself for a new<br />

challenge.<br />

I’m sure having the most important<br />

thing in my life<br />

scream at me for hours<br />

will work as well as<br />

on-the-job training.<br />

CHANGE: Matt<br />

Salmons has a<br />

new full-time job<br />

– looking after<br />

his daughter<br />

Vittoria.<br />

Board’s food<br />

budget<br />

slashed<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

A COMMUNITY board has<br />

cut back on its food spend<br />

after a meeting behind closed<br />

doors.<br />

In a public excluded meeting<br />

on Tuesday night, the Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />

Board agreed to halve the food<br />

budget for its fortnightly board<br />

meetings.<br />

Board deputy chairwoman<br />

Helen Broughton said the board’s<br />

catering budget will be reduced<br />

from $174 to $85 per meeting.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> revealed last month<br />

that community boards across<br />

the city spent nearly $50,000 on<br />

ratepayer-funded catering since<br />

2016/17.<br />

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

Community Board was the<br />

biggest spender, with more than<br />

$10,000 spent on food this term.<br />

Catering included chicken<br />

nibbles, sandwiches and<br />

savouries.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<br />

refused to comment about<br />

Tuesday’s decision. He has<br />

previously defended the catering.<br />

Ms Broughton said the debate<br />

on food has created “a lot of<br />

tension.”<br />

Final stage. Final opportunities.<br />

As the Elloughton Village community continues to grow, we mark a milestone in<br />

commencing the final stage of building. Villas 26-30 are now under construction,<br />

soon to be followed by the last set of villas. <strong>The</strong>se architecturally designed 2 bedroom<br />

villas are build to the highest specifications, as the current residents will attest.<br />

Polo star’s<br />

body<br />

back in US<br />

LAUREN BIDDLE’S life will<br />

be celebrated back in the United<br />

States on Sunday.<br />

Stuff is reporting a celebration<br />

of the life of a rising US polo<br />

star will be in the Wellington<br />

National Golf Club in her<br />

hometown of Florida.<br />

<strong>The</strong> circumstances around<br />

the 22-year-old Lauren Mikaila<br />

Biddle’s death are still being<br />

investigated by police. She was<br />

found dead in a house in Clifton<br />

about 1am on October 22.<br />

Ms Biddle’s father Tommy<br />

Biddle told Stuff her body arrived<br />

back in the US last week.<br />

Stuff revealed Ms Biddle went<br />

to the address on Spinnaker<br />

Lane, owned by structural<br />

engineer Joe McGirr, to have a<br />

spa with friends.<br />

Emergency services were<br />

called when she was found<br />

unresponsive, a friend was<br />

performing CPR when they<br />

arrived.<br />

It is believed Ms Biddle had<br />

also visited the home where she<br />

died the day before.<br />

She had only been in the<br />

country for 10 days.<br />

Push still on for flat water facility<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

THE EAST Lake Trust is not<br />

giving up on its bid to see an<br />

international flat water facility<br />

built in the red zone.<br />

It comes with the release of the<br />

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />

draft regeneration plan, the last<br />

chance for public feedback.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2.2km<br />

flat water<br />

facility for the<br />

red zone has<br />

once again<br />

been left out<br />

of plans for<br />

Meri Gibson<br />

the red zone,<br />

though a 1km<br />

course at<br />

Kerrs Reach has been included.<br />

East Lake Trust chairwoman<br />

Meri Gibson said she was “absolutely<br />

not surprised” the lake was<br />

not included.<br />

“We’ve put in a complaint to<br />

the Ombudsman in regard to<br />

Regenerate excluding the flat water<br />

facility in April on the basis it<br />

was unjust and unfair.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> complaint has been allocated<br />

and is being investigated,<br />

but Ms Gibson said there was no<br />

time line for when that would be<br />

resolved.<br />

Regenerate Christchurch<br />

OUT OF THE PICTURE: <strong>The</strong> East Lake’s Trust 2.2km flat<br />

water facility has been left out of the draft regeneration<br />

plan for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.<br />

chairwoman Sue Sheldon said<br />

the amount of water needed<br />

to keep the facility proposed<br />

by the East Lake Trust free of<br />

algal bloom would use as much<br />

water as 10 Belfast water bottling<br />

plants.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lake’s impact would be<br />

“inconsistent” with objectives<br />

and benefits would not outweigh<br />

the potential risks and likely<br />

impacts – the aquifer needed was<br />

already fully allocated.<br />

Ms Sheldon the plan acknowledges<br />

the demand for more space<br />

for flat water sports in the city<br />

and allows for the widening and<br />

deepening of the river in some<br />

locations – including the creation<br />

of a 1000m regatta course by<br />

widening Kerrs Reach.<br />

Ms Gibson said including<br />

reference to the Belfast water<br />

bottling was “emotive” and “mischievous”<br />

to get a reaction.<br />

Avon-Ōtākaro Network<br />

spokesman Evan Smith said<br />

the plan aligned with previous<br />

discussions and was not<br />

surprising.<br />

“It’s good that they’ve provided<br />

for flat water sports. But its not<br />

going to meet everybody’s expectations.”<br />

A key feature of the plan is the<br />

11km green spine, connecting<br />

the city to New Brighton with<br />

walking and cycling tracks and a<br />

nature trail.<br />

In September, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

revealed Regenerate spent<br />

$486,000 on its last round of<br />

feedback.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plan is available for feedback<br />

on Regenerate’s website<br />

and at its office on 181 High St,<br />

as well as city council offices,<br />

service centres and libraries until<br />

December 19.<br />

It will then go to Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />

Minister Megan Woods to be<br />

finalised.<br />

Top must-have toys that will be<br />

on your child’s Christmas list<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

WITH 39 days until Christmas,<br />

the shops are filling with people<br />

frantically searching for the perfect<br />

gift.<br />

But this year, Tower Junction<br />

Toyworld manager Gail Gray said<br />

there has not been a standout musthave<br />

item.<br />

“People are buying<br />

everything.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are lots of<br />

the year like<br />

Gail Gray<br />

Beyblades, LOL<br />

Dolls and Nerf, of<br />

course, but we’re really selling right<br />

across the board,” she said.<br />

This year there was no way to rank<br />

the top-10 toys, so Toyworld has<br />

picked a range of best-sellers.<br />

Ms Gray said now until Christmas,<br />

the store was expecting to get<br />

busier.<br />

“Especially Show Weekend, people<br />

realise Christmas is just around the<br />

corner. Every weekend from here on<br />

in, we’ve got something special going<br />

on in terms of savings.”<br />

Ms Gray said the store had a “huge”<br />

range of toys and there would be<br />

something for every child.<br />

‘Country comes to<br />

town’ for Show Day<br />

THIS IS New Zealand<br />

Cup and Show Week,<br />

the biggest week on our<br />

calendar of events and a<br />

true celebration of when<br />

country comes to town.<br />

I have such great<br />

memories of Show Day,<br />

from seeing all the animals<br />

to the excitement of the<br />

wood-chopping and<br />

enjoying the fairgrounds<br />

through to going to the<br />

races.<br />

Candy floss features in<br />

these memories, along<br />

with merry-go-round<br />

and Ferris wheel rides.<br />

And when I was a child,<br />

we used to walk through<br />

the gates to Addington<br />

Raceway and pick up spent<br />

tickets while dad watched<br />

the races.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are such happy<br />

memories of a family day<br />

of fun.<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

PUNTERS enjoying a<br />

picnic out of their car<br />

boots before going into<br />

the Christchurch Casino<br />

New Zealand Cup will be<br />

having a bit less to drink.<br />

<strong>The</strong> amount<br />

of liquor in the<br />

Welcome Pack<br />

hamper offered<br />

at Saturday’s boot<br />

party has been<br />

halved, Canterbury<br />

Jockey Club<br />

chief executive<br />

Tim Mills said.<br />

“It’s just a reduction in<br />

the Welcome Pack, which<br />

has been reduced by about<br />

half. <strong>The</strong>re will still be<br />

bars during the event. But<br />

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

Agricultural Show has<br />

really stepped up another<br />

notch this year and I am<br />

looking forward to seeing<br />

what it has done.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re will be plenty to<br />

do in town as well, with<br />

a city first – Tūranga<br />

opening on Show Day,<br />

proving that it is so much<br />

more than a library.<br />

Our libraries are closed<br />

on public holidays and<br />

when we asked if an<br />

exception could be made<br />

for Tūranga, all the stops<br />

were pulled out. I am very<br />

grateful to the staff who<br />

before hand it has been<br />

reduced, essentially to<br />

meet the liquor licensing<br />

requirements.”<br />

Mr Mills said people<br />

were not able to bring their<br />

own drinks to the event for<br />

a number of years.<br />

“It’s been a work in<br />

progress after the last<br />

few years. Most of our<br />

members understand<br />

that things change<br />

and that’s what’s<br />

happened with liquor<br />

licensing.”<br />

But while there had<br />

been a few complaints,<br />

Mr Mills said overall<br />

people did not mind the<br />

change.<br />

“One or two people<br />

might be a little grumpy,<br />

Mayor<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

gave up a day off to come<br />

into work. I know it will<br />

be worth it. This is part<br />

of our commitment to<br />

revitalising the central city<br />

and bringing people into<br />

town.<br />

So if you’re at a loose<br />

end come to Tūranga –<br />

the doors will be open<br />

tomorrow from 10am-5pm<br />

and all weekend. You will<br />

love it.<br />

•If you want to ask<br />

Ms Dalziel a question,<br />

email mayor@ccc.<br />

govt.nz. Put Reader’s<br />

Question in the<br />

subject line.<br />

Boot party drinks halved<br />

Tim Mills<br />

but overall there’s been no<br />

angst. Just a little frustration,<br />

but overall there’s no<br />

angst.”<br />

No one wants to spoil<br />

anyone’s fun, that’s just the<br />

law of the land.”<br />

Instead, Mr Mills said<br />

everyone is more worried<br />

about what the weather is<br />

doing.<br />

“We’re just hoping the<br />

weather gods smile on us<br />

like they have Addington,”<br />

he said.<br />

Mr Mills may get his<br />

wish as the forecast for<br />

the event, which starts at<br />

9am at Riccarton Park on<br />

Saturday, is a high of 22<br />

deg C.<br />

Bid to conserve water over summer<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

THE CITY council has warned<br />

too much water use this summer<br />

could slow down its well-head<br />

upgrade work and lead to water<br />

shortages and a reduced capacity<br />

to fight fires.<br />

As the temperature climbs,<br />

the city council is encouraging<br />

residents to start doing their<br />

bit to conserve water and help<br />

reduce demand on the district’s<br />

water supply network.<br />

Water Supply Improvement<br />

Programme manager Helen<br />

Beaumont said the issue wasn’t<br />

the amount of water available or<br />

the size of the supply network,<br />

but rather the network’s ability to<br />

deliver water when usage spiked.<br />

“When demand for water<br />

is high, we can only supply so<br />

much through the network. <strong>The</strong><br />

pumps, pipes and reservoirs can<br />

only deliver a certain amount<br />

of water at any one time, and if<br />

people use too much while we<br />

have wells off-line for upgrades,<br />

there could be a pressure loss<br />

in the system, shortages, or not<br />

enough to fight fires.<br />

“Ninety-five per cent of the<br />

time, we only need to use about<br />

half of the wells and pump<br />

stations available in the network.<br />

It’s only a problem at times<br />

during summer, when demand<br />

SAVE: <strong>The</strong> city council is encouraging hand-held watering only for lawns and gardens on<br />

alternate days between 9pm and 7am in a bid to save water. (Right) – <strong>The</strong> new water dial<br />

found at ccc.govt.nz/wateruse shows Christchurch’s residential water use for the previous<br />

day.<br />

for water is at its highest.”<br />

Ms Beaumont said the district’s<br />

water use was already higher<br />

than this time last year so it<br />

was important people got the<br />

message now.<br />

“We need people to come on<br />

board with the campaign to<br />

conserve our water. We don’t<br />

want to impose restrictions, we<br />

want to give people a chance to<br />

change their thinking and make<br />

some small changes now to their<br />

water usage.<br />

As part of its conservation<br />

campaign, the city council has<br />

created an online water dial –<br />

available at ccc.govt.nz/wateruse<br />

– which shows the city’s daily<br />

water usage against the target for<br />

summer.<br />

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

hand-held watering only for<br />

lawns and gardens on alternate<br />

days between 9pm and 7am,<br />

reducing laundry loads, and<br />

keeping personal showers to<br />

5min.<br />

Ms Beaumont said water usage<br />

this summer would have a big<br />

impact on the city council’s<br />

ability to upgrade its well-heads<br />

and end chlorination sooner.<br />

“We can only work on well<br />

heads when they’re not in use. So<br />

the less water used this summer,<br />

the faster we can upgrade the<br />

well heads and the sooner we<br />

can end water chlorination in<br />

Christchurch.”<br />

Brighten your backyard with laid back lupins<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

LUPINS ARE one of our most<br />

popular cottage garden flowers<br />

and it’s not hard to see why.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir impressive flower spires<br />

with closed, baby bonnet-type<br />

petals will brighten up any<br />

garden. And their many shades<br />

of blues, violets, pinks and white<br />

– all enhanced by vibrant green<br />

foliage – inject fantastic colour.<br />

But what I also like about<br />

lupins is that they are relatively<br />

laid back. <strong>The</strong>y don’t require a<br />

perfectly fertilised, mulched and<br />

dug-over soil to start out on. A<br />

moderately fertile (at best) bed<br />

of soil is just fine. A bit sandy<br />

– even better. In fact, I often suggest<br />

lupins to my lesser-inclined<br />

green-fingered friends as they<br />

cope well with less love.<br />

I like to plant lupins in my<br />

cottage garden flower bed. I<br />

plant them alongside hollyhocks<br />

(another much taller statuesque<br />

flower), delphiniums, marigolds<br />

and poppies.<br />

If you’re not sure on what<br />

combo you should be doing, how<br />

about a mix.<br />

While lupins are laid back,<br />

they do still like a nice, sunny,<br />

well-drained spot to grow.<br />

Plant the seedlings or plants<br />

50cm apart give them a decent<br />

watering as soon as they’re<br />

planted. After this only water<br />

every few days.<br />

Lupins grow a taproot, which<br />

is a main root growing straight<br />

down. Because of this, pots are<br />

not their first choice of growing<br />

location. And they also don’t<br />

cope well with clay, as they struggle<br />

breaking through this solid<br />

layer in the soil.<br />

Being a perennial (lasting<br />

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

more than one year), you might<br />

like to divide up your lupins in<br />

autumn. Dividing perennial<br />

plants while they are dormant<br />

can help expand your garden,<br />

and ensures they will be ready to<br />

bloom again come spring.<br />

When your plants start to<br />

look a bit overgrown (around<br />

autumn), first prune them back,<br />

then mulch and fertilise. When<br />

VIBRANT:<br />

Mixing<br />

up lupins<br />

in your<br />

garden<br />

will<br />

provide a<br />

wealth of<br />

different<br />

colours.<br />

the leaves at the centre of the<br />

plant start to die off leaving gaping<br />

holes you’ll know you can<br />

divide them.<br />

To divide lupins, dig them up<br />

around 30cm past the edge of<br />

the plant. Wash the roots with<br />

water and then gently pull the<br />

plant apart. You may need to cut<br />

part of the taproot to separate it.<br />

Each new clump you’re left with<br />

Thursday <strong>November</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

should have around four or five<br />

new growth buds.<br />

You can now replant the<br />

healthiest segments of your<br />

lupin. Dividing and shifting your<br />

plant locations is an excellent<br />

way to freshen up your garden.<br />

This is also the time to dig in<br />

new compost to give your plants<br />

the best possible kick start.<br />

If you’re doing all this hard<br />

work in your garden, make sure<br />

you put in the extra effort and<br />

keep the weeds at bay. When it<br />

comes to weeding, a quick hoe<br />

of any weeds once a week will<br />

mean your plants don’t have to<br />

compete for vital nutrients, water<br />

and light.<br />

Apply mulch now while you<br />

can still get in between the<br />

plants, before the new growth<br />

occurs.<br />

Lupins are prone to slugs and<br />

snails, but their main foe is the<br />

aphid. So keep a close eye on<br />

aphids to ‘nip them in the bud’<br />

before the problem gets out of<br />

hand.<br />

You’ll find many sprays<br />

available at your local garden<br />

centre. Or picking them off with<br />

your fingers or blasting with<br />

water can also help. But that’s<br />

making lupins sound a bit more<br />

labour intensive than laid back<br />

now isn’t it?<br />

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

Barbara George<br />

Balancing new role at Court <strong>The</strong>atre<br />

It’s been two weeks<br />

since Barbara George<br />

took over the helm at<br />

the Court <strong>The</strong>atre. She<br />

talks to Julia Evans<br />

about life managing the<br />

arts and her favourite<br />

television show <strong>The</strong><br />

Chase<br />

Have you always been<br />

interested in the arts?<br />

I grew up in New Plymouth<br />

and music and singing were<br />

always my thing. I went to high<br />

school in New Plymouth when<br />

I was a kid I had singing lessons<br />

and singing competitions forever.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I went to university and<br />

did a Bachelor of Music and<br />

singing at Victoria. After that I<br />

won a scholarship and went to<br />

London for a couple of years. It<br />

was there that I realised being a<br />

professional singer was not for<br />

me for a variety of reasons.<br />

How did your career bring<br />

you to becoming chief executive<br />

of the Court <strong>The</strong>atre?<br />

At school I took subjects such<br />

as shorthand typing and bookkeeping,<br />

which I know sounds<br />

really old fashioned but it meant<br />

that I could type at 100 words<br />

a minute. I could always work.<br />

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: Barbara George has been in her new role as chief executive of the<br />

Court <strong>The</strong>atre for two weeks.<br />

So I worked my way through<br />

university in London as a legal<br />

executive. <strong>The</strong>n I came back and<br />

started working at the Auckland<br />

Philharmonia. I didn’t know<br />

much about it, but I’m the sort<br />

of person that if I see something<br />

that needs doing, I just do it. I<br />

never waited for anyone to give<br />

me permission to do anything,<br />

I just did it. That has somewhat<br />

characterised my entire career<br />

and even this role. I’ve always<br />

specialised in arts management.<br />

So Auckland Phil was my first<br />

job for two years and after that<br />

I got my first chief executive<br />

role, which was at the Canberra<br />

Symphony Orchestra. I did six<br />

years in Canberra then I did four<br />

years in the United States with an<br />

orchestra in Seattle and a ballet<br />

company in Nevada. I came<br />

back to New Zealand to work<br />

for the New Zealand Symphony<br />

Orchestra. I headed marketing<br />

and comms at the New Zealand<br />

Symphony Orchestra. From there<br />

I took on the New Zealand Youth<br />

Choir and Voices New Zealand<br />

and did that for a couple of<br />

years, then went to the Adelaide<br />

Symphony Orchestra as chief<br />

executive there. I was there for<br />

three years and that was one<br />

of the major performing arts<br />

companies of Australia. That was<br />

my first fairly big gig that I was in<br />

charge of. My husband, son and I<br />

decided after three years that we<br />

really did want to come back to<br />

New Zealand. A job opened up in<br />

my home town of New Plymouth,<br />

which was the head of the<br />

Polytech there. That’s what I’ve<br />

been doing for the last five years.<br />

I had a five-year contract at the<br />

Western Institute of Technology<br />

at Taranaki and that finished<br />

at the end of October. I had the<br />

weekend off and on the Monday,<br />

I started here. So this is my sixth<br />

chief executive role, all of them<br />

being in the arts except the last<br />

one, which was Government. It’s<br />

interesting. I’ve gone from quite<br />

a large organisation with more<br />

than 300 staff to the Court. But<br />

I’m back in the arts and that’s<br />

wonderful. It’s a home-coming.<br />

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

Thursday <strong>November</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 27<br />

with family life, travel and leisure<br />

It must have been nice<br />

spending that time at home in<br />

New Plymouth?<br />

Being in New Plymouth for five<br />

years gave us a good opportunity<br />

for a lot of time to spend with<br />

family. At the moment I still fly in<br />

and fly out on a Monday morning<br />

and Friday lunch-time because<br />

my son is finishing up his school<br />

year, his last year at primary. He’s<br />

11. <strong>The</strong>n they’ll move down here<br />

at the end of January for the last<br />

school year, he’ll start in year 7.<br />

It’s great timing. He’s a technology<br />

kid so he talks to his friends on<br />

various platforms, so that will all<br />

continue.<br />

It also sounds like you’ve<br />

travelled a lot, what are some of<br />

your favourite places?<br />

I went to Egypt two or three<br />

years ago, Peru was my last trip. I<br />

travelled for my last job so I went<br />

to India, Nepal and China – I’ll<br />

go anywhere – I love travelling<br />

and experiencing. For the next<br />

little while, it’s about New<br />

Zealand.<br />

So after two weeks at the<br />

Court <strong>The</strong>atre, what have you<br />

sunk your teeth into?<br />

<strong>The</strong> first thing I did, I’m a real<br />

believer in the optics around<br />

change. So as a chief executive,<br />

when you come into a new<br />

company, people are really afraid<br />

of change. You’d be disingenuous<br />

if you said well nothing’s going<br />

to change. So when you come<br />

into a new company, you pick<br />

something and you show them<br />

that change is good and change<br />

is fun. So the first thing I did<br />

was rearrange our office. People<br />

got quite excited about that and<br />

through that process, I had to<br />

GREAT<br />

OUTDOORS:<br />

Barbara George<br />

hiked the Inca<br />

Trail two years<br />

ago.<br />

work with various managers to<br />

actually get the plan executed. I<br />

got the chance to walk around<br />

and have informal chats and<br />

show them that I wasn’t too<br />

scary. <strong>The</strong> most important thing<br />

is just getting across the message<br />

that we won’t get anything done<br />

without an excellent team that is<br />

united behind a vision and who<br />

want to make a difference and<br />

who want to come to work and<br />

be part of it.<br />

Are you excited about the big<br />

move back into the central city?<br />

Short answer, yes. It’s very<br />

exciting and there’s an awful lot<br />

of work to do before then. It will<br />

be very much a team approach.<br />

Not only our team here, but our<br />

supporters, our foundation, our<br />

board, our community and our<br />

patrons. Everyone is going to<br />

be involved in that excitement.<br />

It’s an extraordinary company,<br />

every interaction I’ve had has<br />

been incredibly positive and<br />

from people who wear their heart<br />

on their sleeve. Everyone feels<br />

comfortable telling me why they<br />

love the Court and if they think<br />

there’s anything we can do better,<br />

I’ve heard some of that as well.<br />

In the case of the Court, that’s<br />

about building on the already<br />

really good stuff we have here. I<br />

don’t want to say I’m the person<br />

out front leading, because I think<br />

some of the best leaders in the<br />

world are the ones that quietly<br />

lead from behind.<br />

What I want to do is make<br />

sure our artistic director Ross<br />

Gumbley is seen as the person<br />

who leads this place and the<br />

vision. Without the work that<br />

Ross and his team do, we<br />

wouldn’t be the Court. At the<br />

end of the day I like to laugh<br />

and say, I’m overheads. If I do<br />

my job right, I’m just part of the<br />

furniture. Also having said that<br />

I will have profile as we engage<br />

with the community but we are<br />

united behind Ross’ vision, which<br />

is actually really exciting.<br />

Have you been in any shows<br />

yourself?<br />

No. Well, at university I was in<br />

two operas. <strong>The</strong> first was Imeneo<br />

which is a Handel opera and<br />

the second was Suor Angelica<br />

which is a Puccini opera. It was a<br />

different time. Everybody has the<br />

right place in the company and<br />

some people love that place to be<br />

centre stage, but that was not my<br />

place. I have huge empathy for<br />

what happens. I’ve never been<br />

an artistic director but I get to<br />

support someone else who is<br />

exceptional at that.<br />

What’s your favourite show?<br />

I don’t know if I can<br />

particularly answer that. I can tell<br />

you that I’ve seen the only show<br />

that’s been running at the Court<br />

<strong>The</strong> use of acupuncture and other<br />

allied therapies has grown rapidly<br />

in recent years as New Zealanders<br />

embrace a more holistic approach to<br />

healthcare. People are now learning that<br />

acupuncture can work alongside Western<br />

medical practices with GPs now referring<br />

patients to undergo this ancient therapy.<br />

TCM Chinese Medical Centre owner,<br />

Thomas Lin, took his first steps towards<br />

achieving his dream in his 20s when he<br />

qualified as a doctor.<br />

While his degree was in Western<br />

medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine<br />

and acupuncture remained his first<br />

love having watched his father and<br />

grandfather treat people when he was a<br />

Astroman and I just thought<br />

that was amazing. I’m just really<br />

excited for all upcoming shows.<br />

We have such strong audiences<br />

and some audiences will like<br />

one thing, and some will like<br />

another. Everything we do and<br />

the diversity of what we do is<br />

important. I’m looking forward<br />

to seeing a lot of shows without<br />

any judgement of what I will<br />

think before hand. I’m always<br />

going to love the musicals. I won’t<br />

be able to help myself. I love good<br />

writing, I certainly love good<br />

acting and storytelling.<br />

What do you do on a day off?<br />

I like to walk. I like hiking.<br />

I’ve done some quite big hikes<br />

and I’d like to do more. I did the<br />

Inca Trail two years ago, I’m keen<br />

to do Milford Sound next, I’ve<br />

done Queen Charlotte. Tongariro<br />

Crossing is a bit of a yearly<br />

thing, as well as hikes around<br />

Mt Taranaki. My husband and<br />

I spend a lot of time watching<br />

Netflix. If a read, it’s about the<br />

work I’m doing, it’s about strategy<br />

and leadership. I’m also really<br />

interested in what’s going on<br />

in the world, in politics. Very<br />

interested in politics. I don’t<br />

really like reality television much,<br />

but I love <strong>The</strong> Chase. That’s a<br />

daily thing for us because I’m<br />

competitive and I love knowledge<br />

boy. In 1996 passed all examinations for<br />

registered acupuncturist in New Zealand<br />

and became a member of <strong>The</strong> New<br />

Zealand Register of Acupuncturists (NZRA)<br />

and ACC treatment provider.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are currently more than 20,000<br />

people on the books at Lin’s Riccarton<br />

practice, and he says that there is no<br />

such thing as a typical client.<br />

“Many people think that acupuncture is<br />

just for pain relief and musculoskeletal<br />

injuries, but it can be used for all kinds of<br />

ailments.<br />

We regularly see clients with sinusitis and<br />

allergies, flu and general low immunity,<br />

headaches and migraines, insomnia,<br />

stress, and all kind of digestive disorders<br />

and learning. It’s quite hard to<br />

read a book cover to cover so I<br />

have an app that breaks down a<br />

book into its key messages so you<br />

can read it in <strong>15</strong> minutes.<br />

What’s your favourite thing<br />

about Christchurch so far?<br />

I’ve not really had much time<br />

because I fly down early on the<br />

Monday and fly out on the Friday.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n we work at both ends of<br />

the day with lots of meetings<br />

and things so I’ve not had much<br />

opportunity. I haven’t even got<br />

to a shopping centre yet. It’s all<br />

about priorities. I’ve chosen that<br />

in the weeks that I’m here on my<br />

own to make the most of it. I’ll<br />

explore Christchurch when my<br />

son and husband are here. I spent<br />

a lot of time in Christchurch<br />

with the NZSO because it was<br />

one of our major stops. I’m still<br />

shocked by what I see in terms<br />

of the devastation but incredibly<br />

impressed and heartened by some<br />

of the beautiful buildings and<br />

the regeneration and spirit of the<br />

people. I think its a really good<br />

time to be here. I’m optimistic<br />

and I want to grow things.<br />

and even mental health conditions.<br />

I have a particular interest in pregnancy<br />

and fertility, and also see a lot of cancer<br />

clients."<br />

While acupuncture is not a “miracle cure”,<br />

Lin says it can often enhance the quality<br />

of someone’s life and help to extend it.<br />

With over 800 acupuncturists currently<br />

practicing in New Zealand, finding<br />

the right one can be something of a<br />

minefield.<br />

Acupuncture New Zealand (AcupNZ)<br />

recommends prospective patients select<br />

an acupuncturist from their membership<br />

database to ensure the highest standards<br />

of care.<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />

TCM Chinese medical centre founder, Thomas Lin.<br />

“We want acupuncture and Traditional<br />

Chinese Medicine to become the norm<br />

rather than the exception. Many of our<br />

clients see us when Western medicine<br />

hasn't worked for them and they have<br />

all but given up hope. However, once<br />

people do try it a door opens for them."<br />

Mel’s still making music at 99<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

<strong>The</strong> 50s Up Brass Band<br />

will celebrate its 25th<br />

anniversary this month.<br />

Sophie Cornish sat<br />

down with its oldest<br />

member, Mel Smith, to<br />

hear about his love of<br />

music and his tips for<br />

keeping young<br />

•<strong>The</strong> 50s Up Brass Band’s 25 th<br />

Anniversary Christmas Concert will be<br />

on <strong>November</strong> 28, 11am-noon, at the<br />

Woolston Club. Entry is $5 or a gold coin<br />

donation<br />

MEL SMITH is 99, lives alone<br />

and still drives regularly.<br />

And four days a week, he plays<br />

in a brass band and an orchestra.<br />

“Getting up early is the key,”<br />

said Mr Smith.<br />

“I get up at 6am most days and<br />

get ready for the day. It takes me<br />

a few hours,” he said.<br />

“I think that is one thing that<br />

has contributed to my health, I’d<br />

probably be lying in to all sorts of<br />

hours. But if you have something<br />

to do, you don’t really have that<br />

choice,” he said.<br />

Mr Smith’s passion for music<br />

began when he joined the<br />

Woolston Brass Band in 1936.<br />

He joined because his brother<br />

did and “there wasn’t much else<br />

to do,” he said.<br />

Following this, music became a<br />

huge part of his life.<br />

He was a member of the Savage<br />

Club Orchestra and now plays<br />

in the Risingholme Orchestra.<br />

He also ran the Meltones dance<br />

band.<br />

A small advertisement in a<br />

newspaper in 1993 caught Mr<br />

Smith’s eye, inviting “bandspeople”<br />

to attend a meeting for a<br />

seniors’ band.<br />

“I attended the gathering,<br />

took one look and concluded<br />

that it probably wouldn’t last. I<br />

was proved very wrong in my<br />

thinking,” he said.<br />

In spite of his reservations, the<br />

50s Up Brass Band grew quickly.<br />

“As the years passed by, I could<br />

see others lives in my age group<br />

closing in through the lack of<br />

social opportunities,” he said.<br />

“I also believed that lusty<br />

blowing was a positive way of<br />

maintaining good health.”<br />

Mr Smith believes the band<br />

created an “obligation to get<br />

out of bed on a cold winter<br />

Wednesday morning to attend<br />

practice.”<br />

Now the band will celebrate its<br />

25th anniversary on <strong>November</strong><br />

28. It plays brass classics and<br />

Christmas songs at the Woolston<br />

Club and various retirement<br />

homes. Mr Smith is the oldest<br />

member. He plays the cornet,<br />

flugelhorn, recorder and<br />

trumpet and prefers to listen to<br />

mostly classical music and some<br />

jazz.<br />

“I don’t like that pop stuff. I’d<br />

have to say my favourite person is<br />

Maurice Andre, he’s the world’s<br />

best trumpet player,” he said.<br />

Band secretary Noeleen Penter<br />

said Mr Smith was a “quiet man<br />

who kept up well with the music<br />

BRASS: <strong>The</strong> 50s<br />

Up Brass Band<br />

will celebrate its<br />

25th year with a<br />

concert later this<br />

month.<br />

VETERAN: At 99,<br />

Mel Smith is the<br />

oldest member<br />

of the 50s Up<br />

Brass Band.<br />

and band.”<br />

“He’s very active for his age and<br />

really enjoys playing music,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mr Smith attributes his old<br />

age to luck and a strong immune<br />

system.<br />

His childhood, which he<br />

described as “tough”, was spent<br />

in the small West Coast town<br />

Granity.<br />

“In those days hygiene was<br />

very poor. <strong>The</strong> toilet was in the<br />

flax bushes, there was no water<br />

running or electricity. So we<br />

got everything that was going –<br />

mumps and measles and all that.”<br />

Mr Smith was one of 10<br />

children in his family.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Great Depression brought<br />

Mr Smith to Christchurch in<br />

search of work when he was<br />

<strong>15</strong>-years-old.<br />

He only had a primary school<br />

education, as he believed he<br />

would follow in the footsteps of<br />

his coalmining father.<br />

Eventually, Mr Smith got<br />

work as a carpenter, joiner and a<br />

joiner-machinist.<br />

His lack of education and<br />

an issue with his ear meant<br />

he was exempt from military<br />

service.<br />

For the last 13 years of his<br />

working life before he retired,<br />

Mr Smith worked for CTV as a<br />

set-maker.<br />

In his early 20s, he and his wife<br />

Mai built their family home in<br />

Beckenham. Mr Smith still lives<br />

in the same home today, about 75<br />

years later.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y had three children<br />

together, Leonard, Martin and<br />

Christine.<br />

Mrs Smith and Christine have<br />

since passed away due to illness.<br />

Mr Smith will celebrate his<br />

100th birthday in June.

CRUNCHY PORK CHOPS<br />

WITH GARLIC, SPINACH<br />

AND TOMATO SALAD<br />

Ingredients<br />

Pork chops<br />

2 pork shoulder chops, about<br />

200g each<br />

1 egg<br />

1/2 tsp dijon mustard<br />

1/4 tsp dried oregano<br />

Salt and ground black pepper<br />

1 cup breadcrumbs<br />

1 Tbsp freshly grated parmesan<br />

1 cup ground nut oil or similar<br />

for frying<br />

Salad<br />

3 tomatoes<br />

1/2 clove garlic, minced<br />

1 Tbsp olive oil<br />

1 Tbsp lemon juice<br />

4 cups spinach leaves<br />

Salt and pepper<br />

Directions<br />

Trim any fat off the pork<br />

chops, cutting carefully around<br />

the outside edge. Lay the chops<br />

between two pieces of plastic<br />

wrap and, using a mallet or a<br />

rolling pin beat them until the<br />

meaty part of the chop is half<br />

as thick. You will need to beat<br />

around the bone, so turn them<br />

over once as you go.<br />

Beat the egg in a shallow wide<br />

bowl with the mustard, oregano,<br />

and salt and pepper. On a large<br />

plate or platter, combine the<br />

breadcrumbs with the parmesan.<br />

Press each of the chops into the<br />

egg mixture, coating either side.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n dip the egg chops into<br />

the breadcrumbs, covering them<br />

evenly. Let them lie on a cooling<br />

rack to dry slightly while you<br />

heat the oil in a large frying pan.<br />

When a small cube of bread<br />

sizzles if dropped into the oil,<br />

then the oil is hot enough.<br />

Cook the chops until they are a<br />

deep golden color, about 5- 7min<br />

a side (depending on how thin<br />

you’ve managed to get them and<br />

how cold they were before going<br />

in the oil).<br />

Meanwhile, quarter the<br />

tomatoes and take out the<br />

seeds. Combine the diced<br />

tomatoes, minced or grated<br />

garlic, oil, and lemon juice in a<br />

bowl, and season well with salt<br />

and pepper.<br />

When the chops are ready,<br />

toss the spinach in the tomato<br />

mixture until well coated and<br />

divide the salad between two<br />

large plates, putting each chop<br />

alongside.<br />

ORANGE AND CUMIN LEG OF LAMB WITH ROASTED<br />

TOMATOES AND GARLIC<br />

Ingredients<br />

500g tomatoes (halved)<br />

1 head garlic<br />

12 sprigs fresh thyme<br />

2 Tbsp olive oil<br />

Salt and pepper<br />

1 navel orange<br />

1kg lamb leg<br />

1 Tbsp ground cumin<br />

Directions<br />

Heat oven to 200 deg C. In<br />

a large roasting pan, toss the<br />

tomatoes, garlic, thyme, oil, 3/4<br />

tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.<br />

Using a vegetable peeler,<br />

remove strips of orange zest.<br />

Thinly slice the zest. Nestle the<br />

lamb in the tomatoes, pushing<br />

them to the sides of the pan as<br />

necessary. Season the lamb with<br />

the cumin, 2 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp<br />

pepper, then rub with the orange<br />

zest.<br />

Roast the lamb for 90-105min.<br />

Transfer the lamb to a cutting<br />

board and let it rest for at least<br />

<strong>15</strong>min before slicing. Serve with<br />

the tomatoes and garlic.<br />

FAMILY<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

CHRISTCHURCH looks set to<br />

host two New Zealand Breakers<br />

ANBL games in the 2019-20<br />

season.<br />

It is understood a number of<br />

dates have been pencilled for<br />

booking at Horncastle Arena in<br />

2019 and 2020 while next season’s<br />

ANBL schedule is finalised.<br />

Breakers general manager<br />

Dillion Boucher has previously<br />

commented on being open to<br />

the idea of playing Breakers<br />

regular season games outside of<br />

Auckland.<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

CANTERBURY boxer Nort<br />

Beauchamp has spent his<br />

whole career gambling on<br />

himself and it is starting to<br />

pay off.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 33-year-old, who<br />

was born in Thailand and<br />

moved to Christchurch<br />

when he was two, has toiled<br />

for the past decade as a semiprofessional<br />

fighter trying to<br />

get<br />

Boucher would not comment<br />

on the possibility of the Breakers<br />

coming to Christchurch<br />

during the 2019-20 season until<br />

the schedule for next season is<br />

released. However, he did say<br />

the team would love to come to<br />

Christchurch if there was an option<br />

to do so.<br />

Canterbury Rams general<br />

manager Caleb Harrison is hopeful<br />

of Christchurch getting at<br />

least two Breakers games next<br />

season and said the Breakers had<br />

planned to bring at least one game<br />

to Christchurch this season but<br />

couldn’t do so due to Horncastle<br />

noticed. His upset victory over<br />

world rated Australian Joel<br />

Brunker (33-3) in Melbourne<br />

in July earned him the thenvacant<br />

IBO Oceania Super<br />

Featherweight belt and now he<br />

wants more.<br />

In March, he will compete<br />

for the WBC Asia Super<br />

Featherweight Title in<br />

Singapore against a currently<br />

unknown opponent.<br />

“I had to take a pay-cut<br />

just to get that fight in July,<br />

but I knew it could get me<br />

noticed and I studied the tape<br />

beforehand and I thought I was<br />

just a bit faster than him,” he<br />

said.<br />

“I was originally on the<br />

Joseph Parker undercard<br />

but this fight in<br />

Singapore will be my<br />

biggest to date and I<br />

want to focus on it,<br />

even though I don’t<br />

know my opponent<br />

yet.”<br />

Beauchamp did a<br />

bit of boxing while<br />

at Hillmorton High<br />

School “just for<br />

fitness” but didn’t have<br />

his first bout until he<br />

was 21.<br />

“It was after my<br />

first bout that I<br />

Arena already being booked.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Breakers haven’t played<br />

in Christchurch since playing a<br />

pre-season match in 2014. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

return to Christchurch would add<br />

to the list of games at Horncastle<br />

Arena recently.<br />

On <strong>November</strong> 29 the Tall Blacks<br />

will play in Christchurch for the<br />

first time in 14 years when they<br />

host Jordan. Currently 2000 tickets<br />

have been sold for the match.<br />

In June the Rams broke the NBL<br />

crowd attendance record when<br />

they played the Wellington Saints<br />

in front of a sold-out crowd of<br />

6000 at Horncastle Arena.<br />

knew this was something that I<br />

wanted to do long-term, but it’s<br />

been a hard road,” he said.<br />

Beauchamp has amassed a<br />

17-win, two-loss record and has<br />

never been stopped or knocked<br />

out.<br />

He said being 33, he knew he<br />

had a limited window left to<br />

find success.<br />

“I’ve been fighting as a semipro<br />

for a long time just sticking<br />

to the plan and taking an<br />

opportunity I get,” he said.<br />

Beauchamp often gives<br />

up his time to train younger<br />

boxers. He is planning to open<br />

his own gym in Addington<br />

next month.<br />

“I always try to stick to the<br />

plan,” he said.<br />

“I say to my young guys<br />

that defence is important and<br />

safety is important. If you want<br />

a long career, you can’t take<br />

too many big shots or get into<br />

brawls.”<br />

“I started late in the game<br />

but it’s been my ability to stay<br />

out of brawls that has allowed<br />

me to get this opportunity at<br />

33.”<br />

Breakers could have games at Horncastle Arena<br />

Hepburn to lead Pride<br />

in 50-cap milestone<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

ON FIRST impressions you’d<br />

find it hard to believe a 21-yearold<br />

could become the first player<br />

to reach 50 caps for any club in<br />

the National Women’s League.<br />

However, that will be the case<br />

when Canterbury United Pride<br />

defender Whitney Hepburn<br />

leads her side onto the field in<br />

their top-of-the-table clash with<br />

Northern Lights at English Park<br />

on Sunday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> women’s league has<br />

been in existence since 2002.<br />

However, until this year the<br />

competition consisted of just one<br />

round-robin meaning just six<br />

regular games in recent years.<br />

Hepburn made her first appearance<br />

for the Pride in 2012 as<br />

a 14-year-old. Since then she has<br />

established herself as a first team<br />

regular.<br />

“It was pretty scary at the<br />

time because there were a lot of<br />

older players who were really<br />

good and had been around for a<br />

while,” said Hepburn.<br />

Hepburn believes the standard<br />

of play and professionalism in<br />

the league has lifted in recent<br />

years. <strong>The</strong> Pride currently train<br />

five times a week compared to<br />

two times a week when she first<br />

joined the team.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> first year I played for<br />

the Pride we had to pay money<br />

to play and we got one team<br />

hoodie. Now we don’t pay<br />

anything and we get all this gear.<br />

We walk onto the pitch with<br />

music and everything is just so<br />

much more professional.”<br />

Hepburn has gone onto win<br />

three titles and has played in five<br />

finals for the Pride. Her fondest<br />

memory with the team came<br />

during their first title win in<br />

2014 when they defeated Northern<br />

4-2 in Auckland.<br />

“I remember we had just about<br />

more Canterbury fans up in<br />

Auckland than they did. When<br />

the final whistle blew we just<br />

looked at each other and thought<br />

wow we really did this.”<br />

After nine rounds the Pride<br />

lead this season’s competition on<br />

24 points and are looking to win<br />

their first title since the 2016-17<br />

season.<br />

“We got off to a really good<br />

start and I think that’s just set<br />

the mood for us. <strong>The</strong> team culture<br />

has been awesome this year<br />

and that’s showing on the field.”<br />

Hepburn scored in the Pride’s<br />

8-0 thrashing of Central Football<br />

at the weekend. Her effort<br />

from just outside the box was her<br />

third of the season – more than<br />

she has amassed in any other<br />

campaign.<br />

“I do have a special long-range<br />

goal-scoring ability sometimes<br />

. . . they call it the ‘Heper’s<br />

Special’.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Pride’s hopes of securing<br />

a home final could receive a<br />

massive boost if they can defeat<br />

second placed Northern on Sunday.<br />

It will be a test of depth with<br />

both teams missing a number<br />

of players due to under-17 and<br />

Football Ferns commitments.<br />

With Annalie Longo on Ferns<br />

duties coach Alana Gunn has<br />

promoted Hepburn to lead the<br />

Pride for the first time.<br />

“She’s probably the most<br />

underrated player in the league . . .<br />

she deserves all the attention she<br />

will get on Sunday,” said Gunn.<br />

•Sunday’s match at English<br />

Park kicks off at 1.30pm.<br />

RUGBY IS about to bury its<br />

head in the sand until the end of<br />

February.<br />

However, with plenty of white<br />

ball cricket in the offing this<br />

summer concussions won’t be<br />

doing the same.<br />

It doesn’t seem long ago the<br />

term concussions and cricket<br />

seemed distant. Barring a couple<br />

of famous incidents both involving<br />

Australian quick Brett Lee<br />

– one which resulted in Adam<br />

Parore looking dumbfounded<br />

after watching<br />

his helmet fall onto his<br />

wickets and the other<br />

resulting in Michael<br />

Papps’ head looking like<br />

it had an egg growing<br />

from it after taking<br />

back-to-back blows to<br />

the helmet – the idea of<br />

concussions didn’t cross<br />

my mind growing up watching<br />

the sport.<br />

Fast forward to <strong>2018</strong> and you<br />

don’t have to look far to find<br />

batsmen who have battled concussions.<br />

So what are we doing to address<br />

the issue? Well, New Zealand<br />

Cricket has recognised the<br />

growing number of concussions<br />

in the game by implementing<br />

a rule to its domestic limitedovers<br />

competitions which<br />

allows a concussed player to be<br />

substituted by another for the<br />

remainder of the game.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact we’re now acknowledging<br />

there’s a reasonable<br />

chance a player may suffer a concussion<br />

doesn’t sit right with me.<br />

Short-pitched bowling isn’t<br />

new, so where does the problem<br />

lie? <strong>The</strong> answer is the rise of<br />

twenty20 cricket.<br />

Long gone are the days of<br />

simply ducking under a bouncer.<br />

One-eyed Cantab<br />

Gordon Findlater<br />

Cricket concussions<br />

compete with rugby<br />

Michael Papps<br />

Today’s exciting brand of limited-overs<br />

cricket has no place<br />

dot balls. An attitude to take<br />

self-preservation over attacking<br />

a ball pitched near head height<br />

just isn’t an option when the run<br />

rate is against you.<br />

How long is it until we see<br />

someone’s life seriously altered<br />

by concussions or an incident<br />

of our own like the tragic death<br />

of Australian batsman Phillip<br />

Hughes in 2014.<br />

What can we do to<br />

solve the issue? <strong>The</strong>re’s<br />

no way to take away<br />

short-pitched bowling<br />

– it’s always been a part<br />

of the game and when<br />

executed well makes for<br />

great watching.<br />

For me the rise<br />

in prominence of<br />

concussions is just<br />

another reason to play more red<br />

ball cricket. Yes, concussions<br />

have become almost just as<br />

prominent in the longer format.<br />

However, you can put this down<br />

to players batting styles changing<br />

because of the rise in the<br />

number of limited-overs games<br />

being played.<br />

Will this happen? Not likely. It<br />

seems like a long time ago New<br />

Zealand played their first ever<br />

twenty20 international against<br />

Australia in 2005. If you go back<br />

and look at the game you only<br />

need to look at what the players<br />

wore and some of the hairstyles<br />

on display to know they weren’t<br />

taking things too seriously.<br />

So, how have we got to the point<br />

where it’s now the norm to play<br />

series which have more twenty20<br />

matches than test matches?<br />

For me as long as short format<br />

rules the roost we can expect<br />

cricket to compete with rugby<br />

when it comes to concussions.<br />

THE FUTURE is now.<br />

Electric vehicles are the<br />

talking point, and while<br />

Tesla is seen as the glamour<br />

brand and has stolen<br />

the limelight in that part<br />

of the market, it’s now<br />

time for the mainstream<br />

manufacturers to stand up<br />

and be counted.<br />

Sure, there are a plethora<br />

of petrol/electric hybrids<br />

available in our market,<br />

and heaps of pre-owned<br />

Nissan Leafs from Japan,<br />

but there are just a few<br />

electric-only models that<br />

can be purchased new here.<br />

One manufacturer which<br />

is offering a good crosssection<br />

of electric and<br />

hybrid models is Hyundai.<br />

In recent times it has<br />

launched a smallish liftback<br />

model – the Ioniq – in<br />

electric-only form (as well<br />

as hybrid), and just lately<br />

the Kona has landed with<br />

electric propulsion, bearing<br />

in mind the small sport<br />

utility vehicle is also here<br />

in normally-aspirated and<br />

turbocharged petrol variants.<br />

When I look back in my<br />

diary for this year, I see I’ve<br />

spent more time in Kona<br />

than any other model. It’s<br />

just as well then that I like<br />

it, the Kona a neat midsize<br />

SUV which punches<br />

above its weight in terms<br />

of driveability and practicality.<br />

It lands here from<br />

$31,990, but it is a bit of a<br />

step up to buy the electric<br />

Elite 64kWh at $79,990.<br />

Sure, there’s a soon-to-belaunched<br />

lower power version<br />

(39kWh), but as with<br />

most new electric-only<br />

models in the market there<br />

is a price premium.<br />

However, that’s no<br />

detraction, the Kona EV is<br />

a fine piece of work and it<br />

is a car which will go a long<br />

way towards meeting the<br />

sales target for EVs.<br />

As mentioned, the Kona<br />

is mid-size and there is little<br />

compromise in the electric<br />

model. Yes, the boot<br />

space is slightly diminished<br />

but elsewhere you’ll find<br />

little difference inside. That<br />

is, unless you are the driver,<br />

the controls and layout of<br />

the console and dash area<br />

is quite different to the<br />

standard car.<br />

Notably, there are four<br />

push buttons for the direct<br />

drive transmission, all<br />

self-explanatory – drive,<br />

reverse, park and neutral.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are also paddle shifters;<br />

well, they don’t really<br />

shift gears, they simply<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

HYUNDAI KONA: Plug it in and charge it up.<br />

add or reduce drag on the<br />

electric motor to promote<br />

the feeling of gearing.<br />

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

modes to increase or lower<br />

a sporty feel.<br />

Ordinarily, the electric<br />

power is ushered in with a<br />

solid surge right from the<br />

point of first movement.<br />

That’s because full power<br />

is available instantly, and if<br />

you take into account there<br />

is 395Nm of torque on tap,<br />

the Kona EV feels feisty.<br />

In technical terms, there’s<br />

also <strong>15</strong>0kW of power available<br />

which if you stack up<br />

against a petrol engine, then<br />

it is biased towards sporty.<br />

• Price – Hyundai<br />

Kona EV Elite,<br />

$73,990<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 4165mm;<br />

width, 1800mm;<br />

height, <strong>15</strong>65mm<br />

• Configuration<br />

– Electric motor,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

<strong>15</strong>0kW,<br />

395Nm, automatic<br />

transmission.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 7.6sec<br />

If you are thinking that<br />

there must be some tradeoff<br />

in terms of range then<br />

think again, the Kona EV<br />

has a claimed travelling<br />

distance of up to 480km<br />

between charges.<br />

That’s simply due to the<br />

number of batteries, as<br />

mentioned, there is 64kWh<br />

of storage, and that along<br />

with the latest generation<br />

Lithium-ion Polymer technology<br />

makes the Kona<br />

outstanding in terms of<br />

capacity.<br />

It is also the first electric<br />

car I’ve driven where<br />

I haven’t been affected by<br />

range anxiety, there are plenty<br />

of readouts which allow<br />

the driver to see exactly how<br />

much battery power is left.<br />

<strong>The</strong> only downside of<br />

having such capacity is the<br />

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

charge time; to fully charge<br />

from empty takes around<br />

nine hours, or 43 hours<br />

from a three-pin plug wall<br />

socket. That aside, most<br />

drivers don’t let the batteries<br />

go that low, and with<br />

the number of charging<br />

stations being installed<br />

nationwide, that needn’t be<br />

an issue.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kona is also a blast<br />

to drive, it is fast – a standstill<br />

to 100km/h time of<br />

7.6sec is possible and it will<br />

scorch through a highway<br />

overtake in 4sec, the time<br />

it takes to make 120km/h<br />

from 80km/h is blisteringly<br />

fast, and that’s attributable<br />

to that high torque figure<br />

the electric motor develops.<br />

For an SUV, the Kona is<br />

delightfully agile, and I’m<br />

talking about a car which<br />

has a lot of weight, the batteries<br />

add around 236kg to<br />

the standard car, yet it still<br />

feels nimble and balanced.<br />

Pushed into a corner, the<br />

steering is accurate and<br />

there is strong feedback.<br />

<strong>The</strong> four-wheel- independent<br />

suspension has moderate<br />

spring and damper<br />

rates which provide a good<br />

balance between handling<br />

and occupant comfort,<br />

the latter has been a high<br />

manufacturing priority.<br />

Depending on your service<br />

provider, the Kona will<br />

cost around $8 to charge,<br />

and would be more favourable<br />

on a night rate.<br />

That being the case, it’s<br />

easy to see why EVs are<br />

becoming so popular in an<br />

age where fossil fuel costs<br />

are spiralling. If I was an<br />

EV buyer, the Kona would<br />

be by far my pick, it is a<br />

genuinely functional allround<br />

vehicle, and one<br />

which has quality engineering<br />

aspects.<br />

Hyundai has certainly<br />

upped the ante in terms<br />

of EV development and I<br />

never saw that coming. It<br />

has gone from nowhere to<br />

high profile in the electric<br />

market.

<strong>The</strong> Best Kept Secrets<br />

to Selling Your Home<br />

Selling Secret #1: <strong>The</strong> first impression is the<br />

only impression<br />

No matter how good the interior of your home looks,<br />

buyers have already judged your home before they walk<br />

through the door. You never have a second chance to<br />

make a first impression. It’s important to make people<br />

feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the<br />

house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive<br />

shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also<br />

important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and<br />

keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by<br />

putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.<br />

Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show<br />

Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you<br />

never know when your buyer is going to walk through<br />

the door. You have to be available whenever they want<br />

to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape.<br />

Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher<br />

cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure<br />

there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little<br />

inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.<br />

Selling Secret #3: <strong>The</strong> kitchen comes first<br />

You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling<br />

your kitchen – that’s how important it is. <strong>The</strong> benefits of<br />

remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part<br />

of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.<br />

It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops<br />

where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking<br />

price if your kitchen looks dated. <strong>The</strong> fastest, most<br />

inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new<br />

cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can<br />

present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start<br />

envisioning their own style. If you have a little money<br />

to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why<br />

one? Because when people see one high-end appliance<br />

they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates<br />

the kitchen.<br />

Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house<br />

One of the most important things to do when selling<br />

your house is to de-personalize it. <strong>The</strong> more personal<br />

stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can<br />

imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your<br />

stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,<br />

memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.<br />

Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best<br />

showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.<br />

Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade<br />

Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth<br />

makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your<br />

money back if you do a huge improvement project before<br />

you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates<br />

that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh<br />

coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy<br />

some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,<br />

cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track,<br />

fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.<br />

Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters<br />

You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts<br />

of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody<br />

is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your<br />

home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty<br />

litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes.<br />

It will give buyers the impression that your house is not<br />

clean. If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your<br />

pets around.<br />

Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field<br />

A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.<br />

Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y must constantly monitor the multiple listing<br />

service (MLS), know what properties are going on the<br />

market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find<br />

an agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one<br />

has many tools to get your house sold.<br />

Selling Secret #8: Light it up<br />

Maximize the light in your home. After location, good<br />

light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they<br />

want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the<br />

windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage<br />

of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let<br />

in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house<br />

bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.<br />

Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets<br />

Storage is something every buyer is looking for and<br />

can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of<br />

your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there.<br />

Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and<br />

cabinets clean and tidy.<br />

PUBLIC NOTICE<br />

Draft Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration<br />

Plan, Proposed Partial Revocation of the<br />

Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, and Proposed<br />

Partial Revocation of the Land Use Recovery Plan<br />

– open for written comment<br />

Pursuant to the Greater Christchurch Regeneration Act 2016 (the<br />

Act), Regenerate Christchurch invites written comments from the<br />

public on the following documents:<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Draft Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration<br />

Plan (pursuant to section 34 of the Act),<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Proposed Partial Revocation of the Christchurch<br />

Central Recovery Plan (pursuant to section 54 of the Act),<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Proposed Partial Revocation of the Land Use<br />

Recovery Plan (pursuant to section 45 of the Act).<br />

<strong>The</strong> primary purpose of the Draft Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />

Regeneration Plan is to enable short, medium, and long-term uses of<br />

approximately 600ha of land within the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor,<br />

including the area previously known as the residential red zone. <strong>The</strong> Draft<br />

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan will apply to all land<br />

(including land covered by water and any airspace over land) identified as<br />

the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area (Regeneration Area)<br />

defined in Appendix 1 of the ‘Outline for the Ōtākaro/Avon River Corridor<br />

Regeneration Plan’.<br />

A concise statement recording the views on the Draft Ōtākaro Avon River<br />

Corridor Regeneration Plan provided by the parties listed in section 29 of the<br />

Act (Christchurch City Council, Canterbury Regional Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi<br />

Tahu, Ōtākaro Limited, and the Chief Executive of the Department of the Prime<br />

Minister and Cabinet) under section 33 of the Act is also publicly available at<br />

engage.regeneratechristchurch.nz.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Proposed Partial Revocation of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan<br />

(CCRP) proposes to partially revoke the effect of the CCRP so that it does not<br />

apply to the Regeneration Area as shown in Appendix 2 to the Proposed Partial<br />

Revocation of the CCRP. <strong>The</strong> Proposed Partial Revocation covers that part of<br />

the central city within the four avenues that overlaps with the Regeneration<br />

Area covered by the Draft Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CCRP will continue to apply to the remaining area of the central city as set<br />

out in the CCRP.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Proposed Partial Revocation of the Land Use Recovery Plan (LURP)<br />

proposes to partially revoke the effect of the LURP so that it does not apply<br />

to the Regeneration Area. <strong>The</strong> Regeneration Area is described in section<br />

1 of the Proposed Partial Revocation of the LURP and shown in Appendix<br />

1, and is the same as the Regeneration Area covered by the Draft Ōtākaro<br />

Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan. <strong>The</strong> LURP will continue to apply to<br />

the remaining areas identified in the LURP.<br />

In combination, the Proposed Partial Revocation of the CCRP and the Proposed<br />

Partial Revocation of the LURP, if approved, would result in the Ōtākaro Avon<br />

River Corridor Regeneration Plan being the only Regeneration or Recovery<br />

Plan applying to the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area.<br />

scheduled to perform over coming months<br />

starting with <strong>The</strong> Mermaids Dance Band at<br />

visually spectacular troupe will dazzle with<br />

great songs, slick moves and amazing<br />

costumes. Monday 31st December. 8pm start.<br />

Pre-sale tickets $5. Sorry no door sales. Tickets<br />
