But in 2012 English singer Elaine Paige was on the hunt for a personal dresser during her tour of New Zealand, Australia and Asia. Greenwood-Buchanan, who works on hair and make-up at The Court Theatre and lives in Ilam, landed the job. Earlier this month, she started travelling and working with Paige again on her tour of Australasia which finished last week. •Turn to page 4 Page 3 Page 14 ART: Sarah Greenwood-Buchanan working behind-the-scenes at Showbiz Christchurch’s production of Wicked.

They want people who have had their properties or vehicles tagged to call police in a bid to gauge the extent of the vandalism committed. Police are dealing with six youths aged between 13-15 involved with the vandalism that occurred on January 28. At least two cars and three fences were vandalised, along with a tool shed broken into at Aidanfield where an axe was stolen and found lodged into a lawn. It is suspected further tagging took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The vandalism took place in the Aidanfield/Westlake/Halswell area. Hornby police youth aid worker Senior Constable Bruce Ward said police are uncertain about to the extent of the damage done. But he said in the past police have found people do not report incidents of tagging when they should be. •Turn to page 4 Pardon?! *Terms and conditions apply. Saving valued up to $2000.
