go overseas on a study-related trip.<br />
Bu the university’s dean of<br />
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to<br />
discuss the matter.<br />
“I can’t comment<br />
about any<br />
of this because<br />
of confidentiality<br />
and privacy,” she<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has<br />

It is understood it is no the<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 />

TRAGEDY: Kain Parsons was a highly respected Sumner<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 />
heart, selfless attitude and gentle<br />
giant nature will leave a void in<br />
the lives of so many.”<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 />

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 />

Majority oppose<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 />
council head of transport Richard<br />
Osbourne said the lowered<br />
limit would improve safety for<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 />

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 />
the Minister of<br />
Transport and am<br />
making sure the<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 />

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 />

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

been popular<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 />
But there could be late<br />
rain.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

A raft of amazing local and touring acts are<br />
scheduled to perform over coming months<br />
starting with <strong>The</strong> Mermaids Dance Band at<br />

<strong>November</strong>. 8pm start. Tickets $20.<br />
Goodbye <strong>2018</strong>, Hello 2019. <strong>The</strong> DnD<br />
Showband heralds in the New Year with a<br />
myriad of crowd pleasers from Rock n Roll,<br />
Country, Celtic, Disco, Pop, to Rock. This<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 />
