Christchurch’s abnormally high<br />

It was 20 deg C when they<br />

were roaming Hagley Park, at a<br />

time of year which has an average<br />

Dalziel to move into central city<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

MAYOR Lianne Dalziel is<br />

moving out of the east and into<br />

the central city.<br />

Ms Dalziel and her husband<br />

Rob Davidson have lived in the<br />

eastern suburbs for many years.<br />

Ms Dalziel was the Labour MP<br />

‘Och aye’ – stolen hat<br />

angers elderly Scotsman<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

EIGHTY-NINE-year-old<br />

Jim McLachlan is an angry<br />

Scotsman.<br />

Why you ask?<br />

It’s because a cheeky cyclist<br />

stole his 50-year-old blue tartan<br />

hat – swiped from his head while<br />

he was riding on his mobility<br />

scooter.<br />

“He was fit as a fiddle and he<br />

could really ride that bike,” he<br />

said.<br />

Mr McLachlan called him<br />

a name or two in his strong<br />

Glaswegian accent but the cyclist<br />

put his head down and was gone.<br />

<strong>The</strong> low blow took place last<br />

week when Mr McLachlan was<br />

heading home from his usual<br />

haunt, <strong>The</strong> Little Brown Jug on<br />

Wairakei Rd.<br />

“I lost my wife Valda six years<br />

ago so it gets a bit lonely on my<br />

own, so I go to the pub for a bit<br />

of company.”<br />

Mr McLachlan moved to New<br />

Zealand in 1957.<br />

Never did he think someone<br />

would have the gall to swipe<br />

his tartan hat, sent to him from<br />

Scotland by his mother in the<br />

1960s.<br />

Could it have been down to<br />

the Highlanders flag which<br />

flies proudly on his mobility<br />

scooter? Mr McLachlan has been<br />

a staunch supporter since their<br />

inception in 1996.<br />

“It might have been one of<br />

those Crusaders supporters, they<br />

are pretty one-eyed. I have been<br />

dealing with this kind of thing<br />

for Christchurch East electorate<br />

from 2002 to 2011, and became<br />

mayor in 2013.<br />

Moving into the central city<br />

would help reduce her carbon<br />

footprint.<br />

“I will be moving into the<br />

CBD, so I will be in a position to<br />

walk most places. When I do, I<br />

ANGRY SCOTSMAN: Jim McLachlan is not a happy man after his 50-year-old tartan hat<br />

since the Super 12 started.”<br />

He has contacted the police<br />

about the theft, and has asked<br />

will sell my car. I’m really looking<br />

forward to that. If I need to<br />

travel to the airport for example,<br />

I will be able to just hire an electric<br />

car share,” she said.<br />

She is currently overseas<br />

where she will be attending the<br />

launch of <strong>The</strong> Christchurch<br />

Foundation in the United<br />

people in the area if they know<br />

anything about it.<br />

•If you have the hat and<br />

Kingdom and will also take the<br />

opportunity to visit the Mayor of<br />

London Sadiq Khan.<br />

Ms Dalziel will also attend<br />

an Urban Resilience Summit in<br />

Rotterdam where she will meet<br />

Dutch experts to discuss a range<br />

of water-related issues.<br />

She will return on <strong>July</strong> 15.<br />

Beggar attacks elderly<br />

man outside supermarket<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

AN ELDERLY man was<br />

attacked by a beggar outside a<br />

supermarket on Tuesday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 23-year-old alleged<br />

attacker had to be dragged off<br />

his victim outside New World St<br />

Martins.<br />

He then ran off and was<br />

found by police 10min later on<br />

St Martins Rd.<br />

St Martins Pharmacy<br />

pharmacist Johnny Lai<br />

went outside when he heard<br />

screaming.<br />

He saw blood coming from<br />

the elderly man’s head.<br />

“I heard other people talking<br />

about it saying the homeless guy<br />

was quite unstable,” he said.<br />

New World St Martins did<br />

not want to comment.<br />

A police spokeswoman said<br />

the man was not seriously<br />

injured and members of the<br />

public attended to him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> beggar has been charged<br />

with common assault and is due<br />

to appear in the district court<br />

on Monday.<br />

One witness said there<br />

was a crowd of 12 people<br />

gathered around the two men<br />

and the homeless man had to be<br />

flung off the elderly man who<br />

was left sprawled across the<br />

ATTACK: An elderly man was assaulted outside New<br />

ground. He said the<br />

attacker was “screaming his<br />

head off.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> homeless fellow, I have<br />

seen him around here heaps, he<br />

has always been sitting around<br />

shops with his hat out trying to<br />

get money,” the witness said.<br />

“I did hospitality for 20 years<br />

and that guy had a bit of an<br />

edge. If he came into a bar I<br />

would not have served him.”<br />

Well-known butcher<br />

shop up for sale<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE SHOP owned by “Elvis<br />

Butcher” who died suddenly is up<br />

for sale.<br />

Mark Banfield (right),<br />

who owned Banfields<br />

of Beckenham Butcher,<br />

died last month. <strong>The</strong><br />

shop has been closed<br />

since.<br />

He was known widely<br />

as an Elvis impersonator.<br />

His friends referred to<br />

him as an impersonator<br />

of an impersonator.<br />

Mr Banfield was also a stalwart<br />

in a band called Sexy Animals<br />

and was called the Mayor of<br />

Beckenham by many.<br />

His business on Colombo St<br />

went up for sale last week and has<br />

already received interest.<br />

His son, Jake Banfield, hopes<br />

the next owner will continue the<br />

legacy his father built over 25<br />

years. “I would say that if they<br />

want to keep the clientele that<br />

dad created, they [next owners]<br />

would have to continue to sell<br />

organic products,” he said.<br />

He hopes the next<br />

owners will keep the<br />

same name.<br />

Banfields<br />

of Beckenham Butcher<br />

was known for its quality<br />

products and friendly<br />

service. When it closed,<br />

flowers were piled up by<br />

the door.<br />

Mr Banfield’s witty<br />

calendars, in which he often<br />

featured in different guises, were<br />

a popular item.<br />

His outrageous sense of<br />

humour was often on display<br />

in the shop. One recent example<br />

involved a special on ‘fresh<br />

cuts of corgi’ to mark a royal<br />

wedding. Mr Banfield was also<br />

well-known for his generosity and<br />

kindness.<br />

‘Onsold’ homeonwers dealt<br />

a blow by Supreme Court<br />

CHRISTCHURCH owners<br />

of “onsolds” – homes with<br />

undiscovered earthquake<br />

damaged when sold – have been<br />

dealt a blow by the Supreme<br />

Court.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are potentially<br />

thousands of houses in the city<br />

with damage that had not been<br />

identified after the 2010 and<br />

2011 quakes, which had been<br />

onsold to people who were only<br />

now finding out there were<br />

major problems, especially with<br />

foundations.<br />

<strong>The</strong> court ruling could cut off<br />

their ability to get the original<br />

insurer to pay to fix that damage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ruling concerned<br />

homeowner Ruiren Xu and the<br />

country’s largest insurer, IAG.<br />

It ruled against Mr Xu and<br />

said IAG did not have to pay<br />

for the full replacement cost of<br />

reinstating the home to its prequake<br />

condition.<br />

It was seen as a test case<br />

for hundreds of people left<br />

in limbo after finding their<br />

newly-purchased homes had<br />

major previously undiscovered<br />

damage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> group, known as onsolds,<br />

had been waiting for this case<br />

to be resolved so they had a<br />

pointer to the attitude of the<br />

courts when it came to deciding<br />

whether insurers were liable for<br />

the damage not brought to their<br />

attention by the original policy<br />

holder.<br />

All eyes are now on the<br />

Government to see if it will<br />

come to the rescue of these<br />

homeowners.<br />

Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Minister Megan<br />

Woods had previously said the<br />

Government was waiting on the<br />

outcome of the Xu case before<br />

deciding its approach to helping<br />

people in this predicament.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Earthquake Commission<br />

is blamed by many homeowners<br />

for failing to properly assess<br />

damage in the first place, leading<br />

to homes with major problems<br />

being onsold to people.<br />

Buck’s decision not<br />

to stand a ‘curve ball’<br />

•From page 1<br />

“We did not have any headsup<br />

or anything, I would say it<br />

was a bit of a curve ball,” said<br />

<strong>The</strong> People’s Choice chairman<br />

Keir Leslie.<br />

Ms Buck’s decision not<br />

to contest the October local<br />

body elections<br />

has prompted<br />

former Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board<br />

member Peter<br />

Laloli to contest<br />

the city council’s<br />

Riccarton Ward as<br />

an independent.<br />

Independent<br />

Citizens is fielding<br />

Catherine Chu for<br />

the ward. Anyone<br />

wanting to stand for<br />

the city council and community<br />

boards has to be nominated by<br />

August 16.<br />

Mr Leslie said now Ms Buck<br />

will not stand, it will need to<br />

find a strong candidate quickly.<br />

“I think there is a real risk<br />

that if Independent Citizens<br />

win the Riccarton seat that<br />

puts keeping assets at risk. That<br />

is why it is really important<br />

that we run a really strong<br />

candidate,” he said.<br />

Independent Citizens<br />

president Liz Lovell said it<br />

wanted to start a discussion on<br />

whether it made more financial<br />

sense to sell city council-owned<br />

assets.<br />

She said assets, such as the<br />

airport, Lyttelton Port<br />

Company, Orion and<br />

Enable, were all off<br />

the table. But she saw<br />

poorly performing<br />

ones, such as City<br />

Care and Eco Central,<br />

as open to discussion.<br />

Mrs Lovell said she<br />

was also shocked by<br />

Cr Buck’s decision<br />

not to run for reelection.<br />

She felt Cr Buck’s<br />

departure “opened<br />

up the field” for Independent<br />

Citizens.<br />

Seven of the 16 current city<br />

councillors are with People’s<br />

Choice.<br />

“We are confident that we<br />

are going to put up a good<br />

alternative to what is already<br />

there. We have got some really<br />

good candidates that would be<br />

really good for the city,” Mrs<br />

WHEN SUSAN Iffland first<br />

got a call to say she had won a<br />

$40,000 electric car, she was in<br />

disbelief.<br />

“I asked the man on the other<br />

end about 12 times if he was<br />

tricking me and then later I<br />

emailed to ask if we actually got<br />

to keep the car, not just drive it<br />

for a while.”<br />

But she really had won the<br />

competition after entering last<br />

weekend’s <strong>Star</strong> Media Home and<br />

Living Show.<br />

<strong>The</strong> car was gifted by HVS Ltd.<br />

Sales and finance manager<br />

Richard Gardyne said he was<br />

glad it went to Mrs Iffland.<br />

“I’m stoked, they seem to<br />

genuinely like the vehicle a lot,<br />

so it’s a great result.”<br />

Mrs Iffland said now that<br />

she knows it isn’t all a joke,<br />

she’s thrilled and the car<br />

couldn’t have come at a better<br />

time.<br />

“We’ve been saving for a<br />

holiday but we thought that<br />

money really should go on a new<br />

car, and now we’ve won one.”<br />

New central city<br />

footbridge to span Avon<br />

CONSTRUCTION of a<br />

pedestrian bridge in the North<br />

Frame will get under way at the<br />

end of the year, connecting the<br />

City Promenade to Cambridge<br />

Tce.<br />

Ōtākaro chief executive, John<br />

Bridgman, says the 32m bridge<br />

will make the trip through<br />

the city along the Avon River<br />

Precinct quicker for cyclists and<br />

pedestrians and will cater for<br />

future developments in the North<br />

Frame and Avon River Precinct.<br />

“THe bridge sits on what we call<br />

a ‘desire line,’ the route people<br />

would take over the bend in the<br />

Avon River if it were possible.<br />

“By creating this link<br />

between Cambridge and<br />

Oxford Tces, access to the City<br />

Promenade and central city will<br />

be improved for people living,<br />

working and visiting this area<br />

between Colombo<br />

and Manchester Sts.’’<br />

THe bridge will not disturb<br />

the main vertical element of the<br />

Taurapa sculpture, which was<br />

commissioned by the Seattle<br />

Sister City Committee in 1997.<br />

One of the trailing stones will be<br />

moved slightly to accommodate<br />

the base of the bridge.<br />

Seattle Sister City committee<br />

spokesperson, Tim Nicholls, says<br />

the bridge will enhance Taurapa<br />

by offering a whole new view of<br />

the sculpture.<br />

“We’ll continue to work with<br />

Ōtākaro through the design<br />

process to incorporate elements<br />

in the area that will further<br />

highlight the connection of<br />

Seattle and Christchurch as<br />

Sister Cities and Taurapa’s<br />

message about the fragility of<br />

our environment.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> concept bridge design will<br />

now be further developed ahead<br />

of physical work starting around<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />

Harding<br />

PEAK HOUR bus lanes could<br />

be installed on Lincoln Rd and<br />

Moorhouse Ave in a bid to stop<br />

buses from running behind<br />

schedule during rush hour.<br />

A decision on introducing bus<br />

priority measures on the two<br />

busy roads to try cut travel times<br />

for public transport is expected<br />

to come to the city council on<br />

Thursday.<br />

City council staff have recommended<br />

peak hour bus lanes<br />

on the inbound and outbound<br />

sides of Lincoln Rd between<br />

Moorhouse Ave and Whiteleigh<br />

Ave and on the south side of<br />

Moorhouse Ave between Selwyn<br />

St and Lincoln Rd.<br />

<strong>The</strong> inbound bus lanes would<br />

operate between 7am-9am on<br />

weekdays while the outbound<br />

lanes would operate between<br />

4-6pm on weekdays.<br />

If the recommendation is<br />

approved, it expects to reduce<br />

average bus trip times by about<br />

6.5min in the evening and<br />

4.5min in the morning.<br />

But split views has meant<br />

a report on the proposal will<br />

go to the city council without<br />

a recommendation from the<br />

Spreydon-Cashmere Community<br />

Board.<br />

A report was presented to the<br />

board on Tuesday.<br />

Chairwoman Karolin Potter<br />

and deputy chairwoman<br />

Melanie Coker voted against the<br />

recommendation while board<br />

members Helene Mautner and<br />

news online at www.star.kiwi<br />

More bus lanes planned<br />

Karolin Potter Lee Sampson Melanie Coker<br />

Lee Sampson voted in favour.<br />

Mrs Potter was initially supportive<br />

of having bus priority<br />

lanes which allowed buses to get<br />

the green light 40-50sec ahead of<br />

other vehicles at the Barrington<br />

St, Whiteleigh Ave, Lincoln Rd<br />

intersection.<br />

But she then supported Dr<br />

Coker’s view to go with the<br />

second option by council staff<br />

of “no return” bus lanes which<br />

means there would be peak bus<br />

lanes in the morning but not in<br />

the afternoons.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> theory behind that is<br />

while there are time constraints<br />

over getting people to work and<br />

their appointments in town the<br />

same time constraints don’t exist<br />

for people returning,” Mrs Potter<br />

said.<br />

Dr Coker said it would make it<br />

viable for businesses in the evening<br />

to have customers park out<br />

the front otherwise they will lose<br />

their customers.<br />

“It still means that people can<br />

take the bus more reliably into<br />

town on their way to work to get<br />

there on time,” she said.<br />

City councillors Tim Scandrett<br />

and Phil Clearwater were<br />

absent from the meeting.<br />

Mrs Potter said she tried<br />

to leave the matter on the<br />

table to allow Crs Scandrett<br />

and Clearwater to vote, but<br />

other members of the board<br />

informally turned it down.<br />

Last year, the city council<br />

sought feedback on the plan<br />

to introduce the bus priority<br />

measures and received 247<br />

submissions.<br />

Bottle Lake<br />

signage to<br />

be improved<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

MORE SIGNAGE will be<br />

Forest Park to stop people<br />

getting lost.<br />

Existing signage will also be<br />

improved.<br />

City council head ranger for<br />

would be made to the map boards<br />

already in place.<br />

As well as this, Mr Hewson said<br />

pamphlets showing the tracks in<br />

Bottle Lake Forest Park would<br />

also be available from its visitor<br />

centre.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> reported last month,<br />

on average there were between<br />

five and 10 police call-outs a year<br />

for people who get lost in Bottle<br />

Lake Forest Park.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board asked the city council<br />

to improve signage throughout<br />

the forest to help people navigate<br />

it.<br />

Mr Hewson said the planned<br />

improvements would take place<br />

soon.<br />

currently being reviewed and<br />

work will get under way as soon<br />

as the changes are ready.”<br />

Sniffing out crime – the life of a<br />

Senior Constable Bruce<br />

Lamb has been a police<br />

dog handler for more<br />

than 30 years. He’s seen<br />

a lot on the front line,<br />

including when his<br />

german shepherd, Gage,<br />

was shot dead by an<br />

offender. Sophie Cornish<br />

reports on his latest<br />

challenge – 13-month-old<br />

labrador Luther<br />

THERE ARE labradors and then<br />

there are labradors.<br />

Luther is one of those labradors<br />

who doesn’t appear to have an<br />

on/off button. He just wants to<br />

do what he’s wired for – finding<br />

things.<br />

In Luther’s case, it’s drugs and<br />

firearms, and he is better than<br />

most, says Senior Constable<br />

Lamb.<br />

“He’s mental, but he’s by far<br />

one of the best drug dogs I have<br />

seen, especially for his age. He’s<br />

just so keen to find stuff, he’s just<br />

incredible,” he said.<br />

“He still has a lot of puppy<br />

tendencies. I am hoping he will<br />

calm down a little bit.”<br />

Like other police dogs Senior<br />

Constable Lamb has partnered<br />

with over his many years in the<br />

police, Luther has fitted like a<br />

glove into his family home.<br />

It includes 10-year-old Mylo, a<br />

CONTRASTS: Police dog handler Senior Constable Bruce Lamb with veteran Mylo (left)<br />

and detector dog Luther.<br />

now retired detector dog.<br />

“Mylo can’t be bothered with<br />

him. Luther is all over him,<br />

jumping on him, wanting to play<br />

with him. Mylo just looks at him<br />

like, ‘really?’ <strong>The</strong>re’s no aggro,<br />

he just can’t be bothered,” said<br />

Senior Constable Lamb.<br />

Luther and Senior Constable<br />

Lamb recently graduated<br />

from a six-week training<br />

course. Luther is trained to<br />

find money and drugs, such as<br />

methamphetamine, cocaine and<br />

MDMA.<br />

<strong>The</strong> process to learn these skills<br />

involves “pre-loading odours”<br />

onto the dog, which can be done<br />

successfully in a couple of hours.<br />

“We use labs because they have<br />

a strong hunt drive, they want<br />

to find stuff. So we just divert it<br />

from what they were bred for,<br />

like ducks and game, to finding<br />

drugs. <strong>The</strong>y literally only need<br />

five or six exposures to the<br />

odours and they know that it is<br />

something they will get rewarded<br />

for.”<br />

Soon Luther will also be<br />

trained to smell firearms.<br />

This includes three odours –<br />

gun oil, fire cases and<br />

ammunition.<br />

“That stuff is quite easy, so we<br />

don’t tend to do that straight<br />

away, because we don’t want<br />

them defaulting to the easiest<br />

option when they search.”<br />

As the only full-time drug<br />

detection dog handler in the<br />

South Island, Senior Constable<br />

Lamb is kept busy responding to<br />

calls.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair are involved in<br />

multiple searches daily and most<br />

of the work is for pre-planned<br />

search warrants.<br />

“For me to search a house with<br />

a dog it will take 10min, 15min<br />

max. For officers to search it<br />

thoroughly, it could take two<br />

to three hours,” said Senior<br />

Constable Lamb.<br />

detector dog<br />

Searching for cash hidden by<br />

criminals is also a big part of the<br />

job. Mylo once found $186,000<br />

concealed in a car door. <strong>The</strong> pair<br />

were the national detector dog<br />

champions in 2014.<br />

In his 32 years as a dog handler,<br />

Senior Constable Lamb has<br />

worked with five other dogs,<br />

Rebel, Sabre, Finn, Maca and<br />

Gage.<br />

Gage was fatally shot in 2010<br />

during a routine drug raid on<br />

Buccleugh St in Phillipstown.<br />

Senior Constable Lamb was<br />

saved by Gage who jumped in<br />

front of him as Christopher<br />

Graham Smith fired his weapon.<br />

Smith was later jailed for 14<br />

years for the attempted murder of<br />

a police dog handler, wounding<br />

another officer and killing Gage.<br />

Gage was awarded an<br />

international honour, dubbed<br />

the animals’ George Cross. This<br />

was the PDSA Gold Medal for<br />

outstanding animal bravery or<br />

exceptional devotion to duty<br />

outside of military conflict.<br />

Since then, Senior Constable<br />

Lamb hasn’t handled patrol dogs,<br />

which are generally german<br />

shepherds. Instead, he opted<br />

for detector dogs, which are<br />

generally labradors.<br />

“I haven’t had a patrol dog since<br />

then. It was my decision, I’m too<br />

old to be chasing snotty teenagers<br />

over fences, running away from<br />

stolen cars. Gage was always<br />

going to be my last patrol dog,”<br />

he said.<br />

On average, detector dogs<br />

usually work until they are<br />

about nine or 10-years-old. Patrol<br />

dogs work less, until they are<br />

about seven-years-old, due to<br />

the more physical nature of their<br />

work.<br />

IF YOU’RE American<br />

and reading this – happy<br />

Independence Day.<br />

If not, well, happy . . . day?<br />

Like I said last week, as part of<br />

enjoying Matariki celebrations,<br />

Vittoria had her first hangi meal<br />

over the weekend.<br />

She loved it so much she started<br />

using a fork on her own just to<br />

eat it. I’m not even exaggerating,<br />

it was literally the first time she’d<br />

used a fork on her own. A fork<br />

she took off Laura.<br />

She was even scooping wee bits<br />

up to feed to her grandparents in<br />

exchange for more chicken.<br />

After munching down on the<br />

stuffing, pumpkin and potato on<br />

her own plate, she was banging<br />

on Laura’s potato with her fork<br />

for more.<br />

Truly, her father’s daughter.<br />

This week has not been so full<br />

of fun however, I’ve been sick<br />

with a cold and a cough, the first<br />

time since becoming the stay-athome<br />

parent.<br />

I also had my first “concerned<br />

parent” trip to the 24-hour surgery<br />

on Tuesday.<br />

To save those who read last<br />

week’s edition from further<br />

poo-based trauma, I’ll quickly<br />

VITTORIA<br />

& Matt<br />

NEWS 9<br />

Week of highs and lows<br />

summarise the reason; there was<br />

the stinkyness, ’twas a strange<br />

colour and Dr Google got me all<br />

stressed.<br />

I started by calling Plunket,<br />

who informed me that it would<br />

be a good idea to take her to the<br />

doctors, just in case.<br />

As is typical in cases where you<br />

present to a packed surgery with<br />

a fairly benign concern, you wait<br />

– for ages.<br />

Pro tip; a giggling patient who<br />

is happy to run around and eat<br />

her snacks is not high on the<br />

priority list.<br />

Needless to say, when I finally<br />

saw the doctor it was a definite<br />

non-emergency. But not wasted<br />

time; I was reassured and what I<br />

was worried about was a totally<br />

legit concern. I am winning at<br />

parenting.<br />

So finally, to the family who<br />

kindly lent me books and toys for<br />

Vittoria to help entertain her and<br />

to the wee lad who chatted with<br />

her through the long wait, thank<br />

you.<br />

A YEAR 12 Villa Maria College<br />

student wants to help reduce New<br />

Zealand’s road toll.<br />

Skylah Holmes is one of<br />

12 students from around the<br />

country to have been chosen as<br />

a national student representative<br />

for Students Against Dangerous<br />

Driving.<br />

Skylah will empower young<br />

people to make safer and better<br />

choices on the road as both drivers<br />

and passengers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> national leadership<br />

programme for SADD fosters<br />

young emerging leaders who are<br />

passionate about safe driving and<br />

making a difference in their community.<br />

As part of the programme,<br />

Skylah, of Halswell, will travel to<br />

different parts of the country to<br />

participate in workshops to develop<br />

new resources, campaigns<br />

and ideas that will positively<br />

impact on New Zealand’s roads.<br />

“I am proud to represent Villa<br />

Maria College on this national<br />

platform and hope that as a team,<br />

we can make a real difference<br />

to our nation’s road toll,” said<br />

Skylah.<br />

She said it is important all<br />

young drivers understand and<br />

appreciate what constitutes<br />

dangerous driving, and have<br />

tools to ensure they are safe on<br />

the roads.<br />

“This also goes for passengers. I<br />

want to see the road toll dramatically<br />

reduced, I want everyone<br />

who heads out in their vehicles<br />

each day to get to their destinations<br />

safely, and get home to their<br />

loved ones.” Skylah said.<br />

She is passionate about road<br />

safety and is planning a number<br />

of initiatives at the school to<br />

promote road safety to her fellow<br />

students.<br />

“Young people can make<br />

a difference. By teaching our<br />

young people about road safety,<br />

we hope this flows to the rest of<br />

the community and creates safer<br />

roads for everyone,” Skylah said.<br />

EMPOWERING: Villa Maria College student Skylah Holmes<br />

will be a national representative for Students Against<br />

Dangerous Driving.<br />

Notorious Facebook page pokes<br />

Lyttelton has received<br />

a scathing yet satirical<br />

review on the Sh**<br />

Towns of New Zealand<br />

Facebook page. <strong>The</strong><br />

post – which called the<br />

suburb a “grubby little<br />

sh**-tip” and a “Lyttel<br />

bit sh**” – has received<br />

a mixed response<br />

from the community.<br />

Reporter Jess Gibson<br />

gets reaction from<br />

people in Lyttelton<br />

Malcolm Carne<br />

disapproved of what the post said<br />

about his home<br />

of 20 years.<br />

“Whoever<br />

wrote it is a<br />

nasty idiot<br />

and obviously<br />

deluded<br />

because it’s a<br />

great place to<br />

live. What can I<br />

say without using swear words .<br />

. . they’re a total twit,” Mr Carne<br />

said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y obviously haven’t spent<br />

any<br />

time here or at least not more<br />

than 5min. It’s total bullsh** and<br />

I’ve never heard such cr** in my<br />

life.”<br />

JOKING: In spite of its bustling cafe scene, Lyttelton<br />

received an unflattering satirical write-up on a popular<br />

Facebook page.<br />

Caro<br />

Allison had<br />

a different<br />

outlook on the<br />

post after living<br />

in Lyttelton for<br />

24 years.<br />

“I think<br />

it’s really<br />

clever and very, very funny. It’s<br />

fantastic and absolutely true,”<br />

she said.<br />

“Geographically and mentally,<br />

we are kind of stuck here in a<br />

way. Even though we’ve got the<br />

ocean, the port and the harbour<br />

out there, we are in our own<br />

gorgeous bubble and if we can’t<br />

laugh, it gets very sad.”<br />

Caine Tauwhine, who<br />

has lived in<br />

Rapaki for 15<br />

years, said the<br />

statements<br />

“might have<br />

been the case in<br />

the 80s but not<br />

now.”<br />

He said the<br />

post was “too harsh.”<br />

“Lyttelton is full of all sorts<br />

SH** TOWNS of New Zealand<br />

is a Facebook page which<br />

reviews places across the<br />

country.<br />

It aims to tell people “all the<br />

best places not to go on a New<br />

Zealand holiday.”<br />

Its profile of Lyttelton last<br />

week received more than 1000<br />

comments and 250 shares.<br />

<strong>The</strong> post read: “Lyttelton<br />

(dyslexic for ‘Little Town’) is<br />

a notorious haunt of sailors,<br />

dockers, Cantabrians and other<br />

unsavoury types. <strong>The</strong> grubby<br />

little s***-tip is a port town,<br />

which means it exists primarily<br />

for shipping out coal to overseas<br />

global warming factories and<br />

shipping in heroin.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> post had a crack at<br />

Lyttelton’s history and implied<br />

the port town is stuck in its old<br />

ways.<br />

“Lyttelton’s favourite feature<br />

is its timeball station, which<br />

– we get the freaks, the<br />

geeks and everything in<br />

between, but the thing<br />

about all those types is<br />

that they love the place,”<br />

Mr Tauwhine said.<br />

Guy Higginson,<br />

who grew up in Lyttelton,<br />

also said the post was harsh.<br />

“I would say it’s probably one<br />

of the best places to grow up in.<br />

was reconstructed after the 2011<br />

earthquake, despite timeballs<br />

becoming obsolete about a<br />

century ago. <strong>The</strong> timeball is well<br />

worth seeing for anyone who’s<br />

never heard of a clock,” it read.<br />

It also criticised the Lyttelton<br />

Rd tunnel, which was once the<br />

longest in New Zealand until<br />

Auckland’s Waterview Tunnel<br />

opened in 2017. ‘<br />

“<strong>The</strong> opening of the Lyttelton<br />

Tunnel allowed road traffic from<br />

Christchurch to reach the town<br />

in record time, which became<br />

known as ‘the speed of disappointment’,”<br />

read the post.<br />

<strong>The</strong> post listed an unusual<br />

range of activities to do in Lyttelton,<br />

including “joining a folk<br />

band . . . or getting in a knife<br />

fight with a Russian fisherman.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> page targeted Rolleston<br />

in November and gained a<br />

similar mixed response from<br />

residents.<br />

People that don’t<br />

live there have got no<br />

idea,” Mr Higginson<br />

said.<br />

He did not agree with<br />

the town being labelled “a<br />

Lyttel bit sh**”.<br />

“Lyttelton is Lyttelton,<br />

you can give it a name,<br />

but it’s a bit tongue-in-cheek<br />

really. I guess it’s a play on<br />

words.”<br />

fun at Lyttelton<br />

Denise Alty commutes to<br />

Lyttelton through the tunnel<br />

every day for work. She was<br />

appalled by the post, calling<br />

it “utterly irrelevant and<br />

ridiculous.”<br />

“People come here to enjoy<br />

the ambience, the feel and the<br />

vibe. It’s an<br />

incredibly<br />

supportive<br />

and close-knit<br />

community.<br />

I work here<br />

and grew up<br />

over the hill,<br />

so Lyttelton is<br />

definitely a big<br />

part of my life,” she said.<br />

“I love Lyttelton, as do most<br />

other Cantabrians. It’s a place<br />

of character, artistry and peace.<br />

This is disgusting.”<br />

Lyttelton mother Emma<br />

Dunningham took no offence<br />

to the post, calling it funny, well<br />

written and witty.<br />

“I certainly<br />

don’t see<br />

anything to be<br />

offended about.<br />

I think it’s all<br />

pretty spot-on<br />

and the things<br />

that they are<br />

bringing up as<br />

a negative are things that some of<br />

us can see as a positive.”<br />

When Evan Kiddy was<br />

asked to describe the post in one<br />

word, he called<br />

it “laughable.”<br />

“It’s water off<br />

a duck’s back,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I mean, they<br />

are good at<br />

creative writing<br />

but that’s about<br />

it. It’s harsh, but it’s just one<br />

person’s view and that’s the sh**<br />

thing about Facebook – people<br />

can post whatever they like.”<br />

Jason Lockhorst thought<br />

there was some truth in the post<br />

but the comments are not limited<br />

to Lyttelton. “Everything they<br />

talked about has likely happened<br />

news online at www.star.kiwi<br />

INSULTS: Sh** Towns of New Zealand says the Lyttelton<br />

port “exists primarily for shipping out coal to overseas<br />

global warming factories and shipping in heroin.”<br />

at some point in time, but it’s<br />

also probably<br />

happened in<br />

every city in<br />

New Zealand as<br />

well.”<br />

“It was satire<br />

and was a<br />

hook, line and<br />

sinker for a<br />

lot of people.<br />

Whoever wrote it was<br />

looking for a laugh and they<br />

got laughs. But of course, it<br />

ruffled a few feathers,” Mr<br />

Lockhorst said.<br />

A LIQUOR store planned for<br />

<strong>The</strong> district licensing<br />

committee released its decision<br />

on Monday to give Rizak<br />

Enterprises Ltd the green light<br />

to set up an off-licence at 1/87<br />

Main Rd.<br />

<strong>The</strong> decision includes changes<br />

to Rizak Enterprises Ltd sole<br />

director and shareholder Juraj<br />

Singh’s application based on<br />

submissions in opposition to the<br />

proposal.<br />

<strong>The</strong> changes include labelling<br />

the green light<br />

Its opening hours will be<br />

A hearing was held in May<br />

after 46 written submissions<br />

were made in opposition to the<br />

off-licence, with nine people<br />

making verbal submissions.<br />

A petition containing the<br />

names of 97 people who opposed<br />

the store was also presented at<br />

the hearing.<br />

Submitters can still appeal the<br />

decision until <strong>July</strong> 15 under the<br />

But applicants will have to pay<br />

$517 to make an appeal.<br />

Counsel Peter Edgen said Mr<br />

Singh is likely to start working<br />

on the store’s refitting after the<br />

appeal period.<br />

Selwyn Sounds ‘strongest line-up yet’<br />

THE LINE-UP for the next<br />

Selwyn Sounds rock festival is<br />

being touted as the best ever.<br />

Iconic Australian band<br />

Icehouse will headline the<br />

Lincoln Domain event on March<br />

7. Tickets go on sale at midnight<br />

on Thursday at<br />

www.selwynsounds.co.nz.<br />

Said promoter David Parlane:<br />

“This will be the fourth year<br />

of Selwyn Sounds and this is<br />

the best and strongest lineup<br />

yet with three incredible<br />

international acts.”<br />

“Icehouse hasn’t played in<br />

Christchurch since 1991, so very<br />

proud to bring them to Lincoln<br />

to play at Selwyn Sounds.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> line-up will also feature<br />

international acts 10cc, Midge<br />

Ure, who is the voice of Ultravox,<br />

and Kiwi bands Zed, <strong>The</strong><br />

Mockers, Automatic 80s and Jed<br />

Parsons.<br />

Icehouse was formed by Iva<br />

Davies, the band’s frontman and<br />

musical creative force, who led<br />

the band to 28 platinum albums,<br />

eight top 10 albums and more<br />

than 30 top 40 singles, including<br />

Great Southern Land, Hey Little<br />

Girl, Crazy, Electric Blue, and We<br />

Can Get Together.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> band has been playing<br />

together for more than 40 years,<br />

selling out shows around the<br />

world, including their last New<br />

Zealand tour, selling out three<br />

shows in record times to 45,000<br />

people and rave reviews,” said Mr<br />

Parlane.<br />

“Midge Ure continues to tour<br />

and play all around the world.<br />

Many will remember Ultravox<br />

from their exhilarating show at<br />

Sweetwaters in the 80s. <strong>The</strong>ir hit<br />

album Vienna was in the NZ top<br />

40 for over 47 weeks. 10cc has<br />

sold out many concerts in New<br />

Zealand in the past, with such hits<br />

as Dreadlock Holiday, <strong>The</strong> Things<br />

We Do For Love, I’m Not In Love,<br />

Art For Art’s Sake, Rubber Bullets,<br />

I’m Mandy Fly Me and Donna.<br />

Getting the band Zed, which<br />

will reunite after 15 years,<br />

was a coup, he said. “<strong>The</strong>y are<br />

a real rock and roll story of<br />

Christchurch school mates,” said<br />

Mr Parlane.<br />

<strong>The</strong> school mates formed a<br />

band and went on to have four<br />

top 10 hits.<br />

Zed’s hits include Renegade<br />

Fighter and Glorafilia. <strong>The</strong> group<br />

recorded two albums, toured the<br />

world, and then broke up. Zed<br />

is back together to celebrate the<br />

20-year anniversary of its debut<br />

album Silencer.<br />

Selwyn Sounds will again<br />

benefit the local community, said<br />

Mr Parlane.<br />

“We have great support<br />

from the Lincoln community.<br />

Lincoln High will once again be<br />

providing parking and all money<br />

raised will go back to the school.<br />

Our volunteer base comes from<br />

numerous community groups in<br />

the Selwyn region and its great<br />

to support them through Selwyn<br />

Sounds.”<br />

Festival will redefine the meaning of ‘art’<br />

THE CHRISTCHURCH Arts<br />

Festival <strong>2019</strong> begins on <strong>July</strong> 26<br />

and as artistic director George<br />

Parker describes, this year’s<br />

festival isn’t afraid to ask: Who<br />

are we and where are we going?<br />

<strong>The</strong> best parts of winter<br />

are being embraced by the<br />

Christchurch Arts Festival, with<br />

community events redefining the<br />

meaning of “art.”<br />

“We saw an opportunity for<br />

the festival to play a role in<br />

revitalising the central city in the<br />

middle of winter, as part of creating<br />

something very distinct and<br />

unique,” said Dr Parker.<br />

<strong>The</strong> festival opens with A<br />

Winter’s Tale – a free public<br />

event that over two nights will<br />

see the banks of the Avon River<br />

transformed into a street-party<br />

featuring music, oversized<br />

puppets, large-scale projection<br />

onto buildings and special<br />

winter fare.<br />

“As well as featuring a diverse<br />

range of experiences, the festival<br />

will offer people the chance to<br />

tuck into a hāngī at <strong>The</strong> Commons<br />

and enjoy a traditional<br />

mirimiri (Māori massage) in the<br />

town hall.<br />

“It’s an opportunity for the<br />

community to come together<br />

and reflect on where we are<br />

heading,” said Dr Parker.<br />

“I see community-building<br />

as something very active. You<br />

MUSICAL: Christchurch-born singer Julia Deans will return<br />

to the city to perform with Burnside High School’s chorale<br />

group, Bel Canto, as part of the Christchurch Arts Festival,<br />

which will begin later this month.<br />

always want to be exploring and<br />

creating who you are, rather<br />

than knowing who you are. Presenting<br />

different perspectives, including<br />

perspectives that might<br />

be considered on the margins,<br />

provide a great outlook on who<br />

we might want to be.”<br />

“Given what has happened<br />

here, considering diverse points<br />

of view is absolutely vital,” said<br />

Dr Parker.<br />

“If we really want to walk<br />

the walk on being a city of<br />

transformation and change then<br />

we need to explore perspectives<br />

that might challenge established<br />

notions. <strong>The</strong>se are the voices we<br />

need to hear.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> city’s rich, diverse and<br />

powerful artistic landscape is<br />

very much on show at this year’s<br />

festival.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>2019</strong> programme is<br />

distinctly Ōtautahi, celebrating<br />

the successes of local talent, and<br />

those who have moved away but<br />

still call the city their home, said<br />

Dr Parker.<br />

One success story comes in<br />

the form of influential songstress<br />

Julia Deans, who is returning to<br />

perform in concert with Burnside<br />

High School’s chorale group,<br />

Bel Canto.<br />

“She is a great example of the<br />

extraordinary musicians that<br />

come out of Ōtautahi,” said Dr<br />

Parker.<br />

<strong>The</strong> team behind the festival<br />

started piecing the programme<br />

together in August last year.<br />

“We really wanted to take<br />

the festival in a new direction<br />

and to be responsive to this as a<br />

place of great change,” said Dr<br />

Parker.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>2019</strong> programme marks<br />

his first Christchurch Arts<br />

Festival.<br />

“I think we’ve created<br />

something that has real value<br />

and can play a role in helping<br />

tell our city’s story. It’s about<br />

seeing Christchurch as a creative<br />

powerhouse and an exciting<br />

place to create.”<br />

Dr Parker said the programme<br />

took 10 months to create, which<br />

was a huge feat given these<br />

things normally take two years.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is something about<br />

this place that generates the<br />

need for expression and creative<br />

exploration and experimentation<br />

that leads to really distinct,<br />

exciting and interesting work.”<br />

Festival <strong>2019</strong> runs from<br />

Prepare vege patch<br />

for spring planting<br />

GOING INTO winter, air and<br />

soil temperatures are low, the<br />

soil is often very wet, with frosts<br />

in many parts of southern New<br />

Zealand.<br />

<strong>July</strong> is the main month for<br />

planting new deciduous trees,<br />

shrubs, fruit trees and roses, and<br />

garden centres are now fully<br />

stocked with these plants. Always<br />

select high quality specimens<br />

and plant correctly with plenty of<br />

compost into the existing soil.<br />

In the vege patch, continue<br />

planting and harvesting broccoli,<br />

brussels sprouts, cabbages,<br />

cauliflower, silverbeet and<br />

spinach. Where soil conditions<br />

allow, you can start preparing the<br />

vege garden for spring planting.<br />

In late <strong>July</strong>, chop up and dig in<br />

green manure crops like lupins or<br />

mustard.<br />

If you have roses, complete your<br />

annual pruning, especially on<br />

bush or standards that produce<br />

flowers late into early winter such<br />

as icebergs.<br />

Remove all dead and weak<br />

growth, clean out the centre of<br />

plants and prune to outward<br />

facing buds. Add fresh compost<br />

to the soil around the rose plant,<br />

but do not fertilise until spring<br />

arrives.<br />

In warmer, sheltered areas,<br />

citrus production should be<br />

in full swing, with clementine<br />

mandarins, lemons, limes and<br />

navel oranges all now maturing.<br />

Check your trees while picking<br />

fruit for any overcrowding or<br />

weak branches that should be<br />

removed. Check for any root<br />

stock growth and prune where<br />

required. For colder climates, use<br />

frost cloths to protect frost tender<br />

citrus.<br />

GARDENING 25<br />

THINNING:<br />

If your<br />

hydrangeas<br />

are looking<br />

sad now is<br />

the time<br />

to prune<br />

them back.<br />

Give fruit trees a second winter<br />

clean up. Spray with a copper<br />

compound or lime sulphur to kill<br />

any overwintering fungal diseases.<br />

Now’s the time to prune your<br />

blackberries, boysenberries,<br />

loganberries, or raspberries.<br />

Cut out all old canes and any<br />

weak spindly growth.<br />

New season strong canes should<br />

then be tied up on wires or fences<br />

to help support this summer’s<br />

fruit crop.<br />

Complete your strawberry<br />

plantings this month. Purchase<br />

new plants or obtain young plants<br />

(runners) from the previous<br />

season strawberry plants. For the<br />

home garden, plant at least 20<br />

strawberry plants to ensure plenty<br />

of fresh strawberries for the whole<br />

family.<br />

Your hydrangeas may be<br />

starting to look a little sad.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y can grow very large<br />

and require heavy pruning and<br />

thinning. Remove old wood<br />

completely as there will be ample<br />

new growth in spring. Make sure<br />

you cut just above a node as it<br />

is from here that spring growth<br />

will appear. Flowering winter<br />

shrubs like azaleas, camellias<br />

and rhododendrons will provide<br />

lovely colour in your garden.<br />

Take note of what varieties or<br />

species are performing best in<br />

your garden or in neighbouring<br />

gardens for next year’s new<br />

planting.<br />

Winter flowering annuals<br />

will be at their very best in<br />

<strong>July</strong>. Primulas, violas, pansies,<br />

calendulas and cinerarias should<br />

all be in full bloom.<br />

Continue to dead head from<br />

these plants to encourage<br />

continual flowering.<br />

GRADUATING ZOEY: Linda Downs, Northwood.<br />

TUCKERED OUT: Debbie Keates,<br />

Halswell.<br />

ICICLE:<br />

Emily White,<br />

Prebbleton.<br />

GROWTH: Get<br />

your trees into the<br />

ground, but protect<br />

them from winter<br />

frost.

Peter Pitcaithly has owned the Christchurch Colombus & Ware store since<br />

New branding for well-established menswear store<br />

ONE OF Christchurch’s most<br />

well-known menswear retailers,<br />

Colombus & Ware, is set to<br />

reopen its store under new<br />

branding later this year.<br />

Located in Merivale Mall, from<br />

September it will be known as<br />

Rembrandt Merivale, reflecting<br />

its long-standing relationship<br />

with menswear manufacturer<br />

Rembrandt.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two businesses have<br />

worked alongside each other<br />

since the mid-1940s, with<br />

Colombus & Ware having been<br />

established in Christchurch in<br />

1945, and Rembrandt starting<br />

up in Vivian St, Wellington in<br />

1946.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have shared 50:50 coownership<br />

of the retail store<br />

since 2013, and Rembrandt retail<br />

manager, Chris Harford, says<br />

while the rebranding was the end<br />

of an era for the Colombus &<br />

Ware brand, the shared values of<br />

quality and expert service would<br />

live on under the Rembrandt<br />

banner.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reopening will bring the<br />

total number of Rembrandt<br />

stores in New Zealand to 12,<br />

with a further three located in<br />

Australia, and the expanding retail<br />

footprint is seen as a positive<br />

sign at a time when other retail<br />

Rembrandt suits are available to hire for special occasions.<br />

outlets around the country are<br />

closing down.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rebranded store will have<br />

a completely new fit-out, which<br />

Rembrandt hopes will contribute<br />

to the current revitalisation<br />

taking place Merivale Mall, Mr<br />

Harford says.<br />

“We are also delighted that<br />

Pete Pitcaithly and the whole of<br />

the Colombus & Ware team will<br />

remain. <strong>The</strong>ir commitment to<br />

the Christchurch community,<br />

great service and deep knowledge<br />

of menswear will continue<br />

to help set us apart.”<br />

Mr Pitcaithly has been with<br />

Colombus & Ware as the store<br />

owner since 1989, and has<br />

become very well-known in<br />

the Merivale community following<br />

the store’s move there<br />

post-earthquake. It is now time<br />

for a change, he says, and he is<br />

confident that the Rembrandt<br />

brand will provide the support<br />

Styles range from casual to formal.<br />

the business needs to continue to<br />

be successful.<br />

“I’ve worked closely with the<br />

Rembrandt team for decades,<br />

and it was important to me that<br />

the business stayed Kiwi – I honestly<br />

couldn’t imagine a better<br />

pair of hands to take us into the<br />

future,” he says.<br />

“A lot of our customers have<br />

fond memories of purchasing<br />

their first suit from Colombus<br />

& Ware – many being a quality<br />

Rembrandt Suit.”<br />

Rembrandt is now evolving<br />

from being a strictly suit and<br />

formalwear brand to becoming<br />

a more lifestyle brand, offering<br />

a wide range of casual wear to<br />

meet changing market demands,<br />

which are being seen particularly<br />

here in Canterbury.<br />

As Rembrandt design manager,<br />

Jonathon Hall, says: “At Rembrandt,<br />

we’re famous for suits;<br />

however, as workplace attire has<br />

become more casual, so has the<br />

Rembrandt collection. Walk into<br />

a Rembrandt store and you’ll<br />

find everything from the finest<br />

tailored suits and dinner jackets<br />

to relaxed weekend and casual<br />

wear such as polos and chinos.<br />

“Our services also include<br />

made to measure attire, hire<br />

wear and alterations.”<br />

A BRIEF HISTORY<br />

•<strong>The</strong> two founders of<br />

Colombus & Ware, Jack<br />

Colombus and Eric Ware,<br />

started trading 73 years<br />

ago.<br />

•Eric Ware passed away<br />

at a relatively young age<br />

with Jack then taking<br />

full ownership. Jack’s son<br />

Rod Colombus joined<br />

the business in the early<br />

1970s and remained with<br />

it until 2009, when Peter<br />

Pitcaithly and Walter<br />

Scott purchased the<br />

business.<br />

•Rembrandt became<br />

a 50 per cent owner in<br />

2013 when Walter Scott<br />

sold his shareholding.<br />

•Soon after the February<br />

22, 2011, earthquake the<br />

business had to move<br />

from the central city to<br />

its current location in<br />

Merivale Mall.<br />

In anticipation of the store<br />

reopening as Rembrandt<br />

Merivale from September,<br />

Colombus & Ware are<br />

celebrating with an ‘end of an<br />

era’ sale.<br />

4 large leeks, white and light<br />

green parts only, roughly<br />

chopped (about 5 cups)<br />

3 cloves garlic, peeled and<br />

smashed<br />

600g nadine potatoes, peeled and<br />

roughly chopped into 2cm pieces<br />

7 cups low sodium chicken or<br />

vegetable broth<br />

2 bay leaves<br />

3 sprigs fresh thyme<br />

1 tsp salt<br />

1/4 tsp ground black pepper<br />

1 cup heavy cream<br />

Chives, finely chopped, for<br />

serving<br />

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN BREAST<br />

Ingredients<br />

4 chicken breast fillets<br />

2 tsp olive oil<br />

Seasoning:<br />

1.5 Tbsp brown sugar<br />

1 tsp paprika<br />

1 tsp dried oregano or thyme or<br />

other herb of choice<br />

1/4 tsp garlic powder<br />

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

Finely chopped parsley to<br />

garnish<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat oven to 200-220 deg C.<br />

Mix Seasoning. Line tray with<br />

foil and baking paper. Place<br />

chicken upside down on tray.<br />

Drizzle chicken with about one<br />

teaspoon of oil. Rub over with<br />

fingers. Sprinkle with seasoning.<br />

Flip chicken. Drizzle with one<br />

teaspoon oil, rub with fingers,<br />

sprinkle with seasoning, covering<br />

as much of the surface area as<br />

you can.<br />

Bake for 18min, or until<br />

surface is golden, or internal<br />

temperature is 75 deg C using a<br />

meat thermometer.<br />

Remove from oven and<br />

immediately transfer chicken to<br />

serving plates.<br />

Wait 3-5min before serving,<br />

and garnish with freshly chopped<br />

parsley if desired.<br />

Directions<br />

Melt the butter over medium<br />

heat in a large soup pot. Add<br />

the leeks and garlic and cook,<br />

stirring regularly, until soft and<br />

wilted, about 10min. Adjust the<br />

heat as necessary so as not to<br />

brown.<br />

Add the potatoes, broth, bay<br />

leaves, thyme, salt and pepper<br />

to pot and bring to a boil. Cover<br />

and turn the heat down to low.<br />

Simmer for 15min, or until the<br />

potatoes are very soft.<br />

Fish out the thyme sprig<br />

and bay leaves, then purée<br />

the soup with a hand-held<br />

immersion blender until smooth.<br />

Alternatively, use a standard<br />

blender to purée the soup in<br />

batches (see note). Add the heavy<br />

cream and bring to a simmer.<br />

Taste and adjust seasoning with<br />

salt and pepper. If soup is too<br />

thin, simmer until thickened. If<br />

Toyota offers RAV4 hybrid for first time<br />

29<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

STATE Highway 72, alternatively<br />

known as the Inland Scenic<br />

Route, is one of my favourite<br />

roads.<br />

It stretches from Rangiora to<br />

Geraldine, and although I usually<br />

use just a short part of it through<br />

the Malvern area, I had the<br />

perfect excuse recently to travel<br />

to Fairlie. Since being voted New<br />

Zealand’s best pie, a drive to the<br />

Fairlie Bakehouse to stock up the<br />

freezer is a regular occurrence.<br />

<strong>The</strong> drive, with the sun<br />

gleaming constantly on the snow<br />

covered alps, and the low volume<br />

of traffic reinforced why SH72 is<br />

one of the South Island’s best kept<br />

secrets.<br />

<strong>The</strong> car I chose to travel south<br />

in was Toyota’s new RAV4 sport<br />

utility vehicle, more specially, it<br />

was a Limited hybrid and it was<br />

the perfect vehicle to tackle the<br />

400km round trip, it was quiet,<br />

comfortable, economical and<br />

surprisingly sporty.<br />

If the word hybrid makes<br />

you have a double take, yes,<br />

the new-generation RAV4 is<br />

available in hybrid form, the<br />

first time petrol/electric power<br />

has been offered in one of<br />

Toyota’s biggest selling products.<br />

<strong>The</strong> RAV4 is all-new for<br />

<strong>2019</strong>, and it is available in eight<br />

specifications, non-hybrid with<br />

a 2-litre or 2.5-litre engine,<br />

or hybrid with the latest spec<br />

2.5-litre engine and powertrain<br />

technology.<br />

It’s taken a long time for me to<br />

fully accept the hybrid concept,<br />

but as I’ve written in recent times,<br />

it now has my complete attention,<br />

as each iteration of it comes<br />

through, it is better and, dare I say<br />

it, more ‘normal’ than ever.<br />

<strong>The</strong> RAV4 hybrid is rated at<br />

131kW and 221Nm through<br />

the petrol engine, with an extra<br />

32kW available through electric<br />

generation. <strong>The</strong>y are healthy<br />

outputs, and were certainly<br />

noticeable on my journey,<br />

overtaking manoeuvres can be<br />

carried out quickly, as the force<br />

of electric power is delivered, the<br />

RAV4 fairly scorches through<br />

the acceleration process. For the<br />

record, it will meet 100km/h from<br />

a standstill in just a fraction over<br />

8sec, and it will make 80km/h to<br />

120km/h in 5.4sec.<br />

On the subject of figures, it<br />

is also a fuel miser. I couldn’t<br />

TOYOTA RAV4 LIMITED: Perfect for cruising.<br />

replicate Toyota’s 4.8-litre per<br />

100km (58mpg) combined cycle<br />

claim, my throttle foot is way too<br />

heavy for that, but I was pleased<br />

with the 6.4l/100km (44mpg)<br />

figure constantly showing on<br />

the dash panel readout. It will<br />

also sip fuel gently at the rate<br />

of around 4.5l/100km (63mpg)<br />

instantaneously at 100km/h.<br />

<strong>The</strong> entire petrol/electric<br />

operation is seamless, there are<br />

dash panel readouts which supply<br />

the driver with information as<br />

to what is happening in relation<br />

to the hybrid system, but if<br />

you aren’t watching those then<br />

you aren’t going to notice the<br />

transition.<br />

That is part of what makes this<br />

package so special, the RAV4,<br />

along with Toyota’s other hybrid<br />

offerings, is smooth technically.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re aren’t a lot of tricky<br />

corners on the SH72 route, but<br />

there are just enough to gauge<br />

a vehicle’s handling ability,<br />

and in the RAV4’s case it met<br />

all expectations. Long travel<br />

suspension and tall ride height<br />

don’t usually combine to provide<br />

dynamic handling qualities but,<br />

it’s fair to say, the RAV4 steers<br />

keenly and the suspension isn’t<br />

overloaded with body movement.<br />

Throughout the design process,<br />

Toyota hasn’t lost sight of the<br />

need to build the RAV4 with the<br />

notion that it is quite likely to<br />

be presented with off-the-seal<br />

challenges, although it must be<br />

taken into consideration that the<br />

entry-level models into the range<br />

are front-drive only.<br />

However, on the Limited, drive is<br />

channelled to all four wheels, and<br />

ground clearance is measured at<br />

190mm. <strong>The</strong>re’s even a trail drive<br />

• Price – Toyota RAV4 Ltd<br />

hybrid, $47,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4600mm; width, 1855mm;<br />

height, 1685mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2487cc, 131kW, 221Nm,<br />

continuously variable<br />

automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.1sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 4.8l/100km<br />

mode which modifies the engine<br />

management protocols so that it<br />

can move slowly and smoothly<br />

across undulating surfaces.<br />

In Limited form the RAV4<br />

E-Four lands at an affordable<br />

$47,990. It is highly specced for that<br />

price, and comes with the latest<br />

safety package Toyota has to offer.<br />

With the introduction of a<br />

brand-new platform, the RAV4<br />

also gets a huge upgrade in<br />

terms of trim levels and interior<br />

quality. <strong>The</strong> layout of the controls<br />

is simplistic and intuitive, while<br />

family-friendly features are<br />

scattered throughout the entire<br />

cockpit.<br />

Even though the hybrid is a<br />

new RAV4 inclusion, the RAV<br />

concept hasn’t been lost. It is still<br />

the family-friendly, easy-to-drive<br />

model that has gone gang-busters<br />

since it was first introduced onto<br />

the global market in 1994.<br />

Canterbury sign up<br />

young fast bowlers<br />

PACE BOWLERS Fraser Sheat<br />

and Jackson Latham have been<br />

named as Canterbury’s final<br />

two contracted players for the<br />

upcoming domestic cricket<br />

season.<br />

Latham, 25, earns a<br />

professional contract for the<br />

first time and is the only new<br />

face on the<br />

team for the<br />

<strong>2019</strong>/20 season.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Burnside<br />

West quick<br />

has come up<br />

over the past<br />

three seasons<br />

through the<br />

Canterbury A<br />

Fraser Sheat<br />

system.<br />

He is excited about the<br />

prospect of playing cricket fulltime<br />

and has always looked up<br />

to Canterbury great Shane Bond<br />

for inspiration.<br />

“I’m absolutely blown away.<br />

<strong>The</strong> chance to represent<br />

Canterbury and to play cricket<br />

as my full-time commitment<br />

is a dream come true. I’m<br />

looking forward to being able to<br />

dedicate more time to my match<br />

preparation both in the gym<br />

and training with the rest of the<br />

team,” said Latham.<br />

“As a kid, I remember heading<br />

down to QE’s Village Green<br />

to watch Shane Bond bowl,<br />

so being able to don the red<br />

and black like Bond is pretty<br />

awesome.”<br />

Sheat, 21, debuted for<br />

Canterbury in October 2017. He<br />

has secured his second contract<br />

and will be eager to build on<br />

his past performances, with six<br />

Plunket Shield and three Ford<br />

Trophy matches under his belt.<br />

Big cup match for United<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

CHRISTCHURCH United will<br />

look to continue their impressive<br />

Chatham Cup run when they<br />

host Nelson Suburbs at the<br />

Christchurch Football Centre on<br />

Saturday.<br />

United lead the Canterbury<br />

Championship League, which<br />

is the second tier of Mainland<br />

Football. <strong>The</strong>y upset the odds<br />

by defeating Mainland Premier<br />

League champions Cashmere<br />

Technical in the third round<br />

of the cup last month to set up<br />

the match between the final<br />

two Mainland teams in the<br />

competition.<br />

“We’ve put a team together<br />

this year just to get promoted<br />

from the CCL to the MPL, so any<br />

result that came in the cup was a<br />

bonus. It was a good buzz in the<br />

group prior to the game and we<br />

came away with the result,” said<br />

United captain Michael White.<br />

“That’s dead and buried now<br />

and we’re ready to go again<br />

against Nelson Suburbs.”<br />

United have won the Chatham<br />

Cup six times in the club’s<br />

history, but the last victory was<br />

back in 1991. Saturday’s fourth<br />

round clash will be the biggest<br />

match for the club in many years.<br />

Due to United playing in the<br />

CCL, White expects Suburbs<br />

will know little about what to<br />

expect from his side. However,<br />

United have a large number of<br />

former MPL players who have no<br />

shortage of playing experience<br />

against the recent MPL runnersup.<br />

“We know what they bring to<br />

the table and they probably don’t<br />

know too much about us . . . it’s<br />

going to be a good game. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

play attacking football and so<br />

do we, so I’m sure there will be<br />

plenty of goals,” said White.<br />

United are unbeaten in the<br />

Through management<br />

efforts, parent support, player<br />

commitment and fundraising<br />

initiatives, coach and manager,<br />

Kirsten & Kyle Reuben, are<br />

endeavouring to take their team,<br />

the Northern Bulldogs U14’s to<br />

Brisbane in October.<br />

As an amateur sports club they<br />

see great benefits for the kids<br />

playing Rugby League and sport in<br />

general. “We are confident that our<br />

game helps keep our young men<br />

out of trouble, away from gaming,<br />

keeps them fit and gives them<br />

a common goal and purpose to<br />

share with their team mates”, says<br />

coach Kyle Reuben.<br />

Manager Kirsten Reuben adds<br />

“Many of our boys may never<br />

get the opportunity to travel<br />

as a team and represent their<br />

clubs and families. We want to<br />

show them that people do care<br />

enough about them to make<br />

the effort. We especially want<br />

to thank all of our amazing<br />

sponsors – without them none<br />

of this would be possible”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> exposure, experience and<br />

possible future opportunities<br />

for the boys playing games in<br />

Brisbane will be fantastic. It<br />

has been over 30 years since<br />

a team from the Northern<br />

Bulldogs club have embarked<br />

on an overseas trip.<br />

<strong>The</strong> team have set impressive<br />

training and fundraising goals<br />

and the reward of travelling<br />

at seasons end will ensure<br />

the Bulldogs U14’s are in for a<br />

memorable year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Thursday <strong>July</strong> 4 <strong>2019</strong><br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

CLARK MCLEOD has gone<br />

from peeling off the back of the<br />

Crusaders scrum to peeling<br />

for sale signs off residential,<br />

commercial and rural<br />

properties.<br />

<strong>The</strong> former No 8 appears to be<br />

doing a good job as a real estate<br />

agent in Ashburton. He even<br />

managed to take a 10min break<br />

during our interview to sell a<br />

property.<br />

McLeod made 21 appearances<br />

for the Crusaders between 1997<br />

and 1999. He started out with<br />

Allenton in Ashburton and can<br />

remember scoring his first try in<br />

a game his father was refereeing.<br />

He played age group rep rugby<br />

for Mid-Canterbury before<br />

attending secondary school in<br />

Christchurch and then joining<br />

the Christchurch club.<br />

“I wasn’t successful in making<br />

their senior team, but there<br />

was an opportunity to trial for<br />

High School Old Boys because<br />

they were playing a 75th jubilee<br />

match,” McLeod said.<br />

“Steve Hansen got me to trial<br />

for his High School Old Boys<br />

team, which was in his early<br />

days of coaching, and from there<br />

I went through the club as a<br />

young loose forward at the same<br />

time as Reuben Thorne.”<br />

In 1996, he made his<br />

Canterbury debut and was part<br />

of a tour to Argentina which led<br />

to his selection in the Crusaders<br />

squad in 1997. During their<br />

maiden Super Rugby titlewinning<br />

season in 1998, McLeod<br />

made seven appearances,<br />

including five starts, before<br />

making six appearances from<br />

the bench.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> team had a work hard,<br />

play hard attitude. We had a lot<br />

of fun along the way and had a<br />

lot of old school values. It just<br />

so happened that rugby turned<br />

professional at that stage, so we<br />

all played for the enjoyment and<br />

fun, but still had expectation and<br />

levels of responsibility,” he said.<br />

One of McLeod’s most<br />

memorable moments came<br />

while sitting on the bench<br />

next to Aaron Flynn. With less<br />

than 5min to go in a game the<br />

Crusaders had all but won, a<br />

message was radioed down<br />

from Hansen to Darren Shand<br />

who was in his early days as<br />

Crusaders manager.<br />

<strong>The</strong> message was<br />

for the pair to go on<br />

as a late substitution.<br />

“Oggy [Flynn]<br />

turned to me and<br />

said ‘you don’t want<br />

to go on do you?’ I<br />

said ‘no’,” he said.<br />

So Flynn told<br />

Shand to relay a<br />

message to Hansen<br />

telling him to<br />

politely get stuffed.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> look on<br />

Shandy’s face was<br />

brilliant and he did relay the<br />

message, but it was all lighthearted,”<br />

said McLeod.<br />

He also recalls a substitution<br />

that went wrong, involving<br />

week at some of the identities who graced the Crusaders<br />

jersey in the past and discover where they are now<br />

Clark McLeod<br />

Crusaders coach Scott<br />

Robertson.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> cards were up with the<br />

numbers for the substitution<br />

and Razor took off his tracksuit<br />

jacket and realised he<br />

didn’t have his jersey<br />

on, so he quickly had<br />

to bolt back into the<br />

shed to grab his jersey,”<br />

said McLeod.<br />

<strong>The</strong> loose forward<br />

says Norm Maxwell’s<br />

habits made him one<br />

of the most undesired<br />

roommates on away<br />

trips. However, his<br />

most memorable<br />

rooming moment<br />

came with Andrew<br />

Mehrtens after he<br />

famously dissapointed Bulls fans<br />

in Pretoria after kicking a longrange<br />

match-winning drop goal<br />

in 1999.<br />

“We didn’t think much of<br />

1999.<br />

it at the time because it was a<br />

hostile crowd . . . it wasn’t until<br />

I happened to be rooming with<br />

him later on in Sydney on our<br />

way home and the phone was<br />

going mad because the media<br />

were in a storm,” said McLeod.<br />

His own most memorable<br />

moment on the field came<br />

in a match at Lancaster Park<br />

against the Sharks. Stu Loe was<br />

injured and a replacement prop<br />

sin-binned. <strong>The</strong> shortage meant<br />

McLeod made an appearance<br />

at hooker with Mark Hammett<br />

shifting to prop.<br />

“It was pretty much a South<br />

African international front row<br />

. . . I was all nice and relaxed<br />

because I thought it was going<br />

to be golden oldies scrums, but<br />

next thing it was all on and I’m<br />

popping out the top of the scrum<br />

not knowing what had just<br />

happened,” he said.<br />

Following his final season with<br />

the Crusaders in 1999, McLeod<br />

played two seasons in Japan with<br />

Suntory, which had Eddie Jones<br />

on their coaching staff.<br />

He returned to Ashburton<br />

following the death of his<br />

father and decided to buy into<br />

Mixed formula 3<br />

results for Armstrong<br />

Marcus Armstrong experienced<br />

highs and lows in the third<br />

round of the FIA Formula 3<br />

Championship in Austria over<br />

the weekend. <strong>The</strong> 18-year-old<br />

Christchurch driver won pole<br />

at the Red Bull Ring before<br />

going on to finish third in the<br />

opening race of the weekend. In<br />

race two, he started sixth and<br />

moved his way up to second.<br />

However, on the final lap,<br />

Armstrong swooped around the<br />

outside of his teammate Robert<br />

Shwartzman and took the lead.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n heartbreak struck when<br />

Shwartzman clipped his rear<br />

tyre, and Armstrong was forced<br />

off the road with a puncture. A<br />

post-race penalty was assigned to<br />

Shwartzman. Armstrong limped<br />

over the line out of the points.<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

OKLAHOMA City<br />

Thunder once had the<br />

‘stache brothers’ in the<br />

form of Steven Adams<br />

and fellow NBA star Enes<br />

Kanter sporting thick<br />

moustaches. Now the<br />

Canterbury Rams have<br />

their own moustache<br />

combo called the ‘crispy<br />

boys’.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rams Australian<br />

guard pairing of Emmett<br />

Naar and Cameron<br />

Gliddon have attracted<br />

attention to the National<br />

Basketball League since<br />

challenging each other to<br />

grow the hair above their<br />

top lip. <strong>The</strong>y’re serious<br />

about the moustaches and<br />

even visited a pharmacy to<br />

buy a $17.50 packet of hair<br />

dye to help “make it pop.”<br />

“We both had a bit of<br />

scruff and then Emmett<br />

[Naar] said why don’t we<br />

keep the stache and I was<br />

on board,” said Gliddon.<br />

“Mine comes in pretty<br />

blonde . . . the first time I<br />

put a dye through, it didn’t<br />

really work so I had to put<br />

on a second coat,” said<br />

Naar.<br />

“We’re trying to get a<br />

sponsorship with Just For<br />

Men.”<br />

Gliddon and Naar<br />

say the team spirit was<br />

instantly lifted when they<br />

first showed up to training<br />

with the moustaches<br />

about two months ago.<br />

Since then, NBL match<br />

commentators and fans<br />

have begun to coin terms<br />

for the pair, including the<br />

‘mo bros’.<br />

“It seems that the<br />

commentators are having a<br />

crack at making something<br />

up so whatever they say<br />

can stick, but we quite<br />

like the crispy boys,” said<br />

Gliddon.<br />

During the Rams 116-65<br />

win over the Supercity<br />

Rangers at Cowles Stadium<br />

on Sunday, a group of<br />

young fans were even<br />

spotted wearing fake<br />

moustaches in admiration<br />

of the Australian imports’<br />

efforts.<br />

“If more kids start<br />

growing moustaches when<br />

they get older, I think we’ve<br />

done our job,” said Naar.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair are enjoying<br />

their time across this<br />

side of the Tasman since<br />

arriving in Christchurch<br />

ahead of the NBL season.<br />

However, the high cost of<br />

avocados, asparagus and<br />

petrol has taken some<br />

adjustment.<br />

“Going to a big buffet<br />

breakfast and seeing a<br />

big jar of Marmite there<br />

instead of vegemite, that<br />

hurts the soul a little bit,”<br />

said Gliddon.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair are currently<br />

living in a five-bedroom<br />

house with fellow Rams<br />

guard/forward Tony<br />

Tolovae. <strong>The</strong> house has<br />

become a social gathering<br />

point for the team when<br />

they get a break from their<br />

busy NBL schedule.<br />

“Sometimes we’ll get the<br />

whole crew over and it gets<br />

pretty rowdy in there . . .<br />

one time we were playing<br />

a game and all of a sudden<br />

the best haka broke out at<br />

about 1am. That was epic,”<br />

said Gliddon.<br />

Off the court, Gliddon<br />

and Naar have become<br />

regulars at the Robbie’s<br />

Riccarton Wednesday<br />

night quiz. However,<br />

unlike their on-court form,<br />

which has helped the Rams<br />

to third in the NBL and a<br />

confirmed a playoff spot,<br />

their quiz skills are in need<br />

of some refining.<br />

“I think the best finish<br />

we’ve had is eighth out of<br />

13,” said Gliddon.<br />

“Robbie is a sponsor, so<br />

you’d think they’d give us<br />

a few extra points on the<br />

sly, but apparently not,”<br />

said Naar.<br />

For now their focus is on<br />

the upcoming NBL finals<br />

weekend at Horncastle<br />

Arena which starts on <strong>July</strong><br />

20.<br />

Tomorrow night they<br />

take on the undefeated<br />

Wellington Saints at<br />

Cowles Stadium – a team<br />

they will likely need to<br />

defeat later this month if<br />

the Rams are to win their<br />

Razor a cut above ABs coaching contenders<br />

IF SCOTT Robertson can<br />

become the first head coach<br />

to guide a side to a Super<br />

Rugby three-peat, he has to be<br />

the front-runner for the All<br />

Blacks top job when it becomes<br />

available in November.<br />

Yes, Robertson has<br />

no experience coaching<br />

internationally overseas.<br />

However, why let his talents be<br />

used against us when he’s proven<br />

at arguably the highest level<br />

below test match rugby and is<br />

there for the taking?<br />

His record in provincial and<br />

Super Rugby alone more than<br />

fits the bill.<br />

Wayne Smith was made All<br />

Blacks coach in 2000 following<br />

back-to-back Super Rugby titles<br />

at the helm of the Crusaders in<br />

1998 and 1999.<br />

Meanwhile, John Mitchell’s<br />

appointment to the All Blacks<br />

job came on the back of just one<br />

sixth-placed campaign with the<br />

Chiefs in 2001.<br />

Many have Ian Foster tipped<br />

to be Steve Hansen’s successor.<br />

He has a wealth of experience<br />

as an assistant coach with<br />

the national team since 2012.<br />

However, he was in charge of the<br />

Chiefs for eight years, from 20<strong>04</strong><br />

until 2011, and in that time they<br />

made the finals only twice and<br />

never won a title.<br />

One-eyed Cantab<br />

Gordon Findlater<br />

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were also on the<br />

receiving end of the worst ever<br />

loss suffered in a Super Rugby<br />

final.<br />

Early options outside of<br />

Robertson and Foster included<br />

Joe Schmidt, who has since<br />

openly put himself out of<br />

contention for the job.<br />

Warren Gatland was likely<br />

to be another favourite for<br />

the position after boasting an<br />

impressive record with Ireland,<br />

Wales and the British and Irish<br />

Lions.<br />

However, Gatland’s<br />

decision to take on the Chiefs<br />

role seems to have signalled<br />

he won’t be the man to replace<br />

Hansen.<br />

Staying with the chiefs, Dave<br />

Rennie is another heavyweight<br />

– he and Robertson are the only<br />

first year Super Rugby coaches<br />

to win titles. However, Rennie<br />

looks like a favourite to end up<br />

with the Wallabies job.<br />

Vern Cotter and Jamie Joseph<br />

are the other names being<br />

thrown about, but a betting<br />

man would find it hard to go<br />

past it being a shootout between<br />

Robertson and Foster.<br />

In that case, it begs the<br />

question, do we want to go for<br />

the safe option in Foster or<br />

choose the best coach in Super<br />

Rugby history?<br />

<strong>The</strong>y might be in locations that<br />

offer cheaper land, larger houses, or<br />

convenience to work or school.<br />

You may have visited show homes<br />

and open homes becoming confused,<br />

overwhelmed or swept away with<br />

emotional factors like having everything<br />

new, or extra features such as three car<br />

garaging.<br />

To be happy with your choice, list the<br />

features that you need, considering:<br />

• Family space – Is there room for<br />

the children to play indoors and for<br />

television and entertainment units?<br />

Should this be open plan or separated?<br />

• Kitchen – What needs to be in your kitchen?<br />

How serious are you about a butler’s pantry?<br />

Is it a whim or something that offers a<br />

practical solution to the way you use your<br />

kitchen?<br />

• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum sizes?<br />

Smaller bedrooms may translate to slightly<br />

lower building costs while extra space can<br />

be useful. When looking at existing homes,<br />

consider whether the size of each bedroom is<br />

sufficient.<br />

• Garaging – A standard double garage once<br />

two cars are parked there offers little space<br />

for the toys. What toys do you have and could<br />

they live with the lawnmower in a garden<br />

shed, a cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />

If the budget allows and a larger garage with<br />

workshop is important, make it a selection<br />

priority.<br />

• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer space<br />

for children, pets, hobbies, an expansive<br />

garden and perhaps a home-run business<br />

but they require<br />

work so are not<br />

for everyone and<br />

a compact section<br />

might be more<br />

sensible if a tight<br />

budget or busy<br />

lifestyle.<br />

• Bathrooms –<br />

Second and third<br />

bathrooms are<br />

great in homes<br />

with teenagers<br />

Advertising Feature<br />

Looking for a property<br />

– what really counts?<br />

You are in the market for a new property, scrolling the Internet,<br />

examining properties for sale and zeroing in on those with potential.<br />

NEW LISTINGS<br />

and a wet shower room is ideal for young<br />

children. A bath might be fashionable though<br />

is often not used and its absence could mean a<br />

more spacious bathroom.<br />

• Laundry – Would a laundry in the garage do<br />

the job?<br />

• Storage – How much storage do you need?<br />

Weigh up what can truly be stored in the<br />

garage once vehicles are in, a preference in<br />

winter. Garages vary in size so check the size<br />

to ensure your vehicles will fit. Look also at<br />

where else the house offers storage capacity<br />

such as in hall cupboards, a large hot water<br />

cylinder cupboard, wardrobes (check their<br />

width and depth), walk-in robe, attic storage<br />

trusses, as well as the potential for hooks and<br />

shelving in the garage for bikes, tools, garden<br />

equipment and even kayaks.<br />

• Off-street parking – How many vehicles can<br />

be parked on the driveway? Will this space be<br />

sufficient?<br />

• Garden - Is there sufficient space for your<br />

children to play or for entertaining?<br />

A checklist will allow you to determine what will<br />

suit your needs, the<br />

point of the exercise,<br />

saving you time<br />

looking at properties<br />

or potential house<br />

designs while assisting<br />

you to decide whether<br />

to buy a new or<br />

existing home with<br />

both options having<br />

advantages and<br />

disadvantages.<br />
