Residents’ feedback wanted<br />

on council services, facilities<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

IS THE city council meeting<br />

your needs when it comes to its<br />

services and facilities?<br />

That’s what the bosses at the<br />

city council want to know as<br />

they start on their annual residents’<br />

survey.<br />

Each year the city council<br />

surveys residents across the city<br />

to understand how satisfied<br />

they are with services covering<br />

its parks, libraries and service<br />

centres.<br />

St Albans<br />

Residents’ Association<br />

chairman<br />

Jason Harvey<br />

said in spite of<br />

Covid-19 and the<br />

lockdown, the<br />

city council was<br />

delivering well on<br />

its facilities such<br />

as parks in the area.<br />

Jason<br />

Harvey<br />

“It’s been such a messed-up<br />

year with Covid-19 and the lockdown,<br />

but overall, our parks and<br />

facilities are looking fabulous,”<br />

he said.<br />

“I’m also really excited about<br />

the St Albans Community Centre<br />

construction and the skate<br />

park being upgraded.”<br />

But there was always room for<br />

improvement, he said.<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY: The city council’s Christchurch Residents’ Survey gauges whether its services and facilities are meeting<br />

residents’ needs, which includes roading matters such as the Christchurch Northern Corridor. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

He described the major concerns<br />

residents raised over the<br />

Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />

construction around Cranford<br />

St, including its roadworks, and<br />

increases in traffic because of it.<br />

Harvey believed public transport<br />

should be prioritised in the<br />

area, and continue making improvements<br />

to walking and cycle<br />

access to major shopping centres.<br />

Said Harvey: “The roads are<br />

still the main concern, what’s<br />

been done looks okay, but no one<br />

is content about it. We’ve pushed<br />

for the focus to be on public<br />

transport and resident safety,<br />

rather than accommodating<br />

more traffic.<br />

“Hopefully the message gets<br />

through to the community<br />

board and the council that the<br />

community is happy with public<br />

transport.” • Turn to page <strong>12</strong><br />

Ollie helps design youth health hub<br />

FORMER Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School student Ollie<br />

Latimer has battled mental<br />

illness and helped design<br />

plans for a youth health hub in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Latimer’s mum succumbed to<br />

breast cancer when he was just<br />

four-years-old and his dad took<br />

his own life in 2017.<br />

Youth Hub Trust chairwoman<br />

Dame Sue Bagshaw helped him<br />

through this.<br />

Now, the health hub proposed<br />

for Salisbury St, which will help<br />

others like Latimer if approved,<br />

has received resource consent.<br />

Said Latimer, now 26: “I was<br />

really struggling with depression<br />

when I first reached out for help.<br />

“Sue was really there for me<br />

from the start, helping me deal<br />

with troubling issues both at<br />

school and home. I had lost my<br />

mum to breast cancer when I<br />

was just four. The welcoming,<br />

non-judgmental atmosphere at<br />

298 Youth Health Centre really<br />

helped me.”<br />

Once stronger, Latimer left<br />

Christchurch to spend the next<br />

five years in Auckland, studying<br />

for a degree in spatial design.<br />

But in 2017, he returned to<br />

Christchurch after his dad’s<br />

death.<br />

“I was really struggling to<br />

cope with renewed grief and<br />

APPROVED: Resource consent has been granted for a<br />

youth health and well-being hub on Salisbury St. ​<br />

Inset: Ollie Latimer.<br />

turned once again to Sue for<br />

counselling.<br />

“That was super important<br />

for me and I was able to pick up<br />

again where we left off from high<br />

school. Sue is incredible. I spent<br />

many hours with her through<br />

it all. What she does to support<br />

youth is amazing. She is there<br />

for so many young people, she’s<br />

just so selfless and caring,” said<br />

Latimer.<br />

Bagshaw knew Latimer<br />

needed some direction in his life<br />

and sensed an opportunity to<br />

involve him and his skills with<br />

her ambitious one-stop-shop<br />

youth hub plans, then in their<br />

infancy.<br />

She asked him to a meeting<br />

where he was introduced to the<br />

Field Studio team, who were<br />

soon engaged to design the<br />

hub. Bagshaw and Field Studio’s<br />

director thought Latimer’s<br />

skills would be a good fit for the<br />

project and Latimer was invited<br />

in to the firm’s office to join the<br />

project team.<br />

Once built, the Youth Hub<br />

– Te Hurihanga Ō Rangatahi<br />

– will be a communal place of<br />

growth, support and well-being<br />

for 10 to 25-year-olds.<br />

It will provide support services<br />

including access to catch-up<br />

education, healthcare, mental<br />

health counselling, vocational<br />

training, recreation and employment.<br />

The centre will provide space<br />

for about <strong>12</strong> different youth organisations<br />

including 298 Youth<br />

Health Centre, YouthLine,<br />

Qtopia and the Christchurch<br />

City Mission.<br />

Resource consent approval<br />

comes just weeks after another<br />

positive win for the ambitious<br />

project – a $10 million dollar<br />

kick-start from the Government’s<br />

$3 billion dollar Covid-19<br />

Response and Recovery Fund, set<br />

aside for shovel-ready projects.<br />

“That generous investment<br />

is around half of what we<br />

ultimately need to make the<br />

youth hub a reality,” said<br />

Bagshaw.<br />

Neighbours have been<br />

consulted, with the design<br />

adjusted to address concerns.<br />

Although resource consent has<br />

been granted, affected parties<br />

have until the end of <strong>November</strong><br />

to lodge an appeal.<br />

Changes to<br />

bin collection<br />

on agenda<br />

THE CITY council is looking<br />

to change aspects of its kerbside<br />

wheelie bin collection in a bid to<br />

reduce contamination.<br />

A report presented to the<br />

Finance and Performance Committee<br />

outlined plans to make the<br />

service more flexible as part of a<br />

review into solid waste management.<br />

The work will give priority to<br />

current kerbside collections. Flexibility<br />

around bin sizes, fees, as<br />

well as a separate glass collection<br />

are also being investigated.<br />

The three-bin kerbside system<br />

has diverted about 65 per cent of<br />

household recyclable and organic<br />

materials from landfill since its<br />

inception in 2009.<br />

“We’ve been hearing from a lot<br />

of people that their green bins<br />

aren’t big enough and we are<br />

known as the garden city, so we’ll<br />

be looking at how we can make<br />

this service better,” said Helen<br />

Beaumont, city council head of<br />

three waters and waste.<br />

“It will also help us reduce the<br />

amount of contamination we’re<br />

getting in recycling bins.”<br />

The first stage of the review will<br />

be completed by February next<br />

year to feed into the 2021-2031<br />

Halloween Event a<br />

great success!<br />

The secret to making low-cost<br />

decorating work<br />

This was a fantastic free community<br />

event we held in our local St James<br />

Park and it was a delight to host! The<br />

children’s costumes ranged from<br />

scary vampires to fairy princesses and<br />

their participation in our Halloween<br />

characters scavenger hunt was<br />

outstanding. Thank you to all the<br />

families for their amazing support.<br />

We are lucky to be part of such a<br />

fantastic community. We are looking<br />

forward to hosting this again next year!<br />

If you own a rental property then<br />

now is the time to set a plan in place<br />

to ensure you can have a peaceful<br />

uninterrupted break. But there are a<br />

couple of extra things to put on your<br />

“get ready list” this year.<br />

The first is the fast approaching<br />

deadline for all new tenancy<br />

agreements having to have a Healthy<br />

Homes Statement from 1st December<br />

<strong>2020</strong>. If you have a tenant moving in<br />

after this – you need to be getting this<br />

sorted right now!<br />

The second thing to consider are<br />

rent payments - contact your tenants<br />

in writing to advise them of their<br />

rent payment dates over the holiday<br />

period. Ask them to ensure they have<br />

You may not have a huge budget<br />

for decorating you home but this<br />

shouldn’t stop you from having well<br />

decorated spaces. Instead we should<br />

all be able to celebrate our own<br />

unique style without breaking the<br />

bank. So what is the secret to making<br />

low cost decorating work without<br />

looking like you shopped at the $2<br />

dollar shop? Read on and find out!<br />

We’ve all seen those gorgeous homes<br />

that look perfectly curated with high<br />

end fixtures, fittings and decor. The<br />

secret to making a space look fantastic<br />

without spending up big, is as simple<br />

as using a combination of investment<br />

pieces and lower cost items. It really<br />

only takes an investment piece or two,<br />

to make a whole room look expensive.<br />

You might decide to invest in the hard<br />

furnishings (couch and buffet for<br />

example) and then everything else in<br />

the space can be bought on a budget.<br />

You could seek out bargains online<br />

through websites such as trademe.<br />

co.nz and NZ Sale or search local<br />

homeware stores for specials or<br />

clearances.<br />

Another trick is to collect over time.<br />

You don’t need to be in the position to<br />

purchase everything to fill a room at<br />

the same time. Layer your home with<br />

items you find and let them tell a story<br />

of who you are and the adventures<br />

you’ve been on. I understand it can be<br />

Landlords - Time to Plan for Christmas!<br />

sufficient funds in the bank so that their<br />

automatic payment will still process on<br />

the next banking day. Also, remember<br />

to check the payments are in your bank<br />

– don’t wait until after Christmas when<br />

arrears could be piling up!<br />

And thirdly, maintenance – are you<br />

available and easy to get hold of if<br />

something needs urgent attention<br />

over the holidays, will you have good<br />

cell phone coverage where you are<br />

staying? Do you know which plumbers<br />

and electricians are working through<br />

and are available on public holidays?<br />

You can almost guarantee that things<br />

will go wrong at the most inopportune<br />

times, so be prepared and know what<br />

tradespeople are on call over the<br />

holiday period.<br />

really tempting to get the room done<br />

as quickly as you can, but honestly<br />

the interest you can create when you<br />

decorate over time, is really worth<br />

the investment of time. This idea of<br />

decorating can actually be continued<br />

right throughout the home including<br />

its hard design.<br />

Our homes should be a reflection of<br />

our personality, not a highly curated,<br />

expensive showpiece. Following<br />

the principle of mixing a few key<br />

investment pieces with less expensive<br />

pieces can help you get the look you<br />

are after without the financial blow<br />

out!<br />

Finally, don’t forget the upcoming<br />

legislation due to take effect on 11th<br />

February 2021. Are you ready? There<br />

are some components to the new<br />

legislation that you should be aware<br />

of because as I always say, knowledge<br />

and education is the key to owning a<br />

successful investment property.<br />

If you have any questions or concerns<br />

regarding any of the above, please don’t<br />

Life Education Trust<br />

Canterbury community<br />

engagement manager<br />

Andy Gray about why<br />

the trust has been an<br />

iconic fixture in schools<br />

for the past 30 years<br />

and why he’s involved<br />

Could you tell me a bit<br />

about what the Life Education<br />

Trust does, and how it came<br />

to be what it is today in<br />

Canterbury?<br />

The Life Education Trust<br />

started over 30 years ago, which<br />

started in Canterbury. There’s<br />

now 32 regional trusts across<br />

the country, and one national<br />

branch. The vision is to inspire<br />

tamariki and rangatahi to make<br />

positive choices and to give them<br />

the power to do that. The trust<br />

addresses challenges including<br />

obesity, substance use, mental<br />

health and well-being and<br />

bullying.<br />

We operate in three mobile<br />

classrooms in Canterbury,<br />

What issues is the trust<br />

currently facing in the wake of<br />

Covid-19?<br />

Quite a few in all fairness –<br />

when Covid-19 hit during the<br />

first lockdown, even though we<br />

were still continuing to support<br />

the teachers and tamariki during<br />

lockdown, we didn’t get any<br />

school fees come in, and the<br />

funders that we usually used<br />

were all closed down.<br />

It’s been tough, but we<br />

managed to get through it<br />

and we’re in a better position<br />

now. We reached out to a lot<br />

Bishopdale Pharmacy<br />

Choose from a<br />

great selection<br />

of gifts for all<br />

your Christmas<br />

essentials<br />

P lus... FREE luxury<br />

gift wrapping<br />

of people that have done quite<br />

well throughout Covid-19, like<br />

supermarkets, and to the Rata<br />

Foundation and Lottery Grants<br />

Board who have helped us out.<br />

With Covid-19 it’s a doubleedged<br />

sword. It’s great that<br />

we’re busier now and we’re<br />

looking to expand to a fourth<br />

classroom because of it. But the<br />

double-edged side of that sword<br />

is obviously with increased<br />

demand it means that more<br />

people are affected, there are<br />

higher anxiety levels.<br />

We’ve learned a lot about<br />

mental health from the<br />

earthquakes in the past 10 years<br />

and also the mosque attacks<br />

where kids have been affected.<br />

Things like a lack of employment<br />

that comes from it just filters<br />

through to the kids, so we expect<br />

to see increased demand over the<br />

next few months.<br />

The trust has been iconic in<br />

Canterbury schools for the past<br />

30 years. What do you attribute<br />

towards its success?<br />

Obviously, the most<br />

memorable thing about Life<br />

Education is Harold the Giraffe.<br />

But the reason why I think we’re<br />

so iconic is because we tend to<br />

react to the issues currently at<br />

hand.<br />

‘It’s the kids’ reactions which I find the most rewarding’<br />

•From page 5<br />

We don’t get any government<br />

or Ministry of Education funding,<br />

so we aren’t led by their<br />

agenda, and it’s why we’re the<br />

number one health education<br />

provider. We don’t want to be led<br />

by what they want, which is why<br />

we work with teachers to adapt<br />

[the lesson]. I think that’s what<br />

makes us so successful.<br />

Why did you decide to join<br />

the trust?<br />

I’ve got a wee eight-year-old<br />

boy and things are a little bit different<br />

now than back in my day;<br />

kids have got different challenges<br />

now, so I just wanted to make<br />

sure I was getting in touch with<br />

what was going on. Kids seem to<br />

be a lot more involved and more<br />

aware of what’s happening around<br />

them because of social media and<br />

access to the internet. That was<br />

my excuse to get involved and<br />

understand what’s happening in<br />

my own child’s head.<br />

What are the rewarding parts<br />

of your job?<br />

The kids – when Harold comes<br />

on board, the kids wander in and<br />

when they see him, they all get<br />

pretty excited to hear what he<br />

has to say. It’s the kids’ reactions<br />

which I find the most rewarding.<br />

Like most jobs, it’s not always<br />

fun and games. What can be<br />

challenging about your role?<br />

I think seeing the statistics<br />

that are pretty grim, like when I<br />

hear about the teen suicide rates<br />

or how many kids are stressed.<br />

About 35 per cent of kids are<br />

stressed at least once a week.<br />

It’s like, bloody hell, these kids<br />

are eight or nine-years-old, they<br />

shouldn’t be stressed, they should<br />

be watching Pokémon on TV or<br />

something.<br />

Tell me a bit about where life<br />

began for you – where did you<br />

grow up? How about family?<br />

I was born in Salford, UK.<br />

When I was about 13-years-old<br />

my folks decided to ship us all<br />

over, with my brothers and sister,<br />

and start life afresh over here. I<br />

ended up going to school down<br />

the road at Christchurch Boys’<br />

High School, and eventually at<br />

the University of Canterbury.<br />

After travelling overseas for a<br />

while, I came back and became<br />

the director at Specsavers (Papanui)<br />

after opening up a franchise<br />

here. After selling that I was<br />

lucky that I had a bit more free to<br />

pick and choose the jobs I wanted<br />

to do, and that’s when the Life<br />

Education Trust job came up.<br />

ICON: The Life Education Trust has been visiting Canterbury<br />

schools for more than 30 years.<br />

My two brothers live in Sunshine<br />

Coast and Gold Coast in<br />

Australia. My sister is here in<br />

Christchurch so she’s not very<br />

far from me, and my parents<br />

are retired now and live in the<br />

Hurunui District.<br />

Do you remember much from<br />

life back in England?<br />

I remember quite a lot of it. It’s<br />

quite a rough spot where we were,<br />

a lot of cars were being nicked<br />

every night and there were a lot<br />

of fights, you could just watch it<br />

from your window - that’s what it<br />

was all to me.<br />

One of my favourite parts<br />

about my home town is the<br />

football, everyone enjoyed a bit<br />

of soccer. You could play it in<br />

the streets, you’d just jump over<br />

the back fence after school and<br />

go play with your friends in the<br />

streets.<br />

Aside from your work, what<br />

do you like to do in your spare<br />

time?<br />

I enjoy any sport, especially<br />

soccer being English and all.<br />

I’ve always the idea of making<br />

something myself so I make short<br />

films on the side.<br />

I make any type of short film,<br />

it’s just a matter of writing a<br />

script and trying to gain funding<br />

to do it.<br />

I’ve always loved movies, the<br />

idea for me growing up was to<br />

become either a football player, a<br />

fireman or a moviemaker.<br />

Family history for Coast to Coast hopefuls<br />

The St Andrew’s<br />

College trio for next<br />

year’s Coast to Coast<br />

multisport event has<br />

plenty of experience<br />

to call on before they<br />

tackle the two-day<br />

race from Kumara<br />

Beach to New<br />

Brighton<br />

MEMBERS OF St Andrew’s<br />

College’s mixed team for next<br />

year’s Coast to Coast don’t have<br />

to look too far for advice on<br />

how to tackle the multisport<br />

endurance event for the first<br />

time, as they follow in familiar<br />

footsteps.<br />

Kayaker Georgia Sparks can<br />

get paddling tips for tackling the<br />

Waimakariri from her father<br />

Geoff, a seven-time competitor<br />

and brother Henry, who<br />

represented St Andrew’s in last<br />

year’s 243km slog from Kumara<br />

Beach to New Brighton Pier.<br />

“I’ve done lots of adventures<br />

with my family, but not<br />

kayaking specifically,” Sparks<br />

said.<br />

“I’ve done rafting down the<br />

rivers and some kayaking as<br />

a family, but not on my own<br />

as such, so this will be a good<br />

experience.<br />

“Dad’s done the event a fair<br />

OPPORTUNITIES: Nate Pringle emulates his father and uncle when he tackles the cycling leg of next year’s Coast to<br />

Coast in the schools’ division for St Andrew’s College. Georgia Sparks has the previous Coast to Coast experience of family<br />

members to call on when she makes her debut in the multisport endurance event next year for St Andrew’s College.<br />

few times though, so it’ll be good<br />

to learn from him.”<br />

Nate Pringle also has family<br />

history to fall back on as he<br />

contemplates the cycling leg of<br />

the two-day event on February<br />

<strong>12</strong>-13, with his father Carl and<br />

uncle Aaron winning the twoperson<br />

team event in 1999.<br />

“I’m really looking forward<br />

to it, we’ve always gone down<br />

and watched so it’ll be cool to be<br />

competing,” he said.<br />

Ben Ferrier is the odd man out<br />

as the first member of his family<br />

to tackle the iconic exercise,<br />

though the runner is wellacquainted<br />

with the terrain.<br />

“We used to live in Westport,<br />

so we’d go past the entrance to<br />

the run course, look up Goat<br />

Pass, and drive past Klondyke<br />

corner,” he said.<br />

Ferrier also has the perfect<br />

place to train with his family<br />

now living at Castle Hill.<br />

“I’ll hopefully get a fair bit<br />

of training around Goat Pass<br />

and Craigieburn. I really enjoy<br />

running, you get to see some<br />

pretty amazing places while<br />

you’re running. You push<br />

yourself and see what you can<br />

achieve. It’s all down to you.”<br />

While the St Andrew’s trio<br />

are training hard individually,<br />

their collective opportunity to<br />

win the school’s division has<br />

been boosted by the team<br />

receiving Kathmandu Academy<br />

prize.<br />

They receive coaching and<br />

mentoring from experienced<br />

multisporter Sam Clark, while<br />

Sparks benefits from a grade 2<br />

whitewater kayaking course and<br />

the use of a kayak for training<br />

and the race.<br />

Pringle has the use of a road<br />

bike on loan and the team camp<br />

for free at the Kumara race<br />

course.

Event to recycle your<br />

electronic waste<br />

EACH YEAR, New<br />

Zealanders create an<br />

average of 19kg of e-waste<br />

per person, which is an<br />

alarming statistic. To raise<br />

awareness, Kilmarnock<br />

Enterprises has teamed<br />

up with the Rotary<br />

Club of Christchurch<br />

Sunrise and Warehouse<br />

Stationery to organise an<br />

electronic recycling day for<br />

Christchurch locals.<br />

As well as putting the<br />

spotlight on New Zealand’s<br />

e-waste problem, the event<br />

that will be be held on <strong>November</strong><br />

21, will also raise<br />

awareness of the important<br />

role Kilmarnock plays in<br />

the community.<br />

For over 60 years, the<br />

Christchurch-based charity<br />

has been in the business of<br />

changing lives. Since 1958,<br />

their mission has been to<br />

provide employment opportunities<br />

for individuals<br />

with disabilities.<br />

At Kilmarnock, people<br />

gain experience in a large<br />

variety of work, including<br />

food packing, assembly,<br />

refurbishing and electronic<br />

recycling. By providing an<br />

inclusive and enriching<br />

paid work environment,<br />

their team are encouraged<br />

to unlock their full potential.<br />

In 2017, Kilmarnock<br />

even established a training<br />

academy, to give individuals<br />

with disabilities another<br />

chance to excel in education<br />

and gain NZQA credits.<br />

In addition to breaking<br />

down social barriers,<br />

Kilmarnock is passionate<br />

about making a positive<br />

environmental impact.<br />

After playing a key role in<br />

the Government’s TV Take<br />

Back Programme, they<br />

decided to launch their<br />

own electronic recycling<br />

scheme. The local charity<br />

now processes a range of<br />

electronic items, and provides<br />

both public drop-off<br />

and corporate partnerships<br />

for a small fee.<br />

They dismantle a variety<br />

of e-waste so it can be demanufactured<br />

to recover<br />

the maximum amount of<br />

recyclable materials. This<br />

also ensures hazardous<br />

substances don’t make their<br />

way into landfill.<br />

Recycling these metals<br />

plays an important role<br />

when it comes to conserving<br />

Aotearoa’s natural<br />

resources.<br />

It’s important that we<br />

all actively try to find<br />

ways to reduce our carbon<br />

footprint. That’s how we can<br />

all make a difference.<br />

Outdoor learning fun<br />

PUPILS AT Paparoa Street<br />

School took part in an ‘outdoor<br />

classroom day’ recently, as part<br />

of a global movement to inspire<br />

and celebrate outdoor play and<br />

learning at home and at school.<br />

This was the second year<br />

the school has held the event<br />

in conjunction with the city<br />

council, which supplied park<br />

rangers to assist with a range<br />

of outdoor activities and<br />

maintenance in the nearby<br />

Rutland Reserve.<br />

The school acts as kaitiakitanga<br />

(guardians) of the reserve.<br />

The pupils helped with the<br />

weeding, planting and mulching,<br />

after which they returned to the<br />

school and finished the day with<br />

various fun activities including<br />

hutch building, cycling, face<br />

painting and sack races.<br />

Residents’ views<br />

encouraged<br />

• From page 1<br />

City council chief executive<br />

Dawn Baxendale said the survey<br />

was one of the tools used to assess<br />

where they were performing well,<br />

and where improvements needed<br />

to be made and prioritised.<br />

“We want to find out what is<br />

working well for residents and<br />

what’s not working well because<br />

our focus, as an organisation, is<br />

on meeting the needs of our residents,”<br />

she said.<br />

“The findings of this year’s<br />

survey programme will feed into<br />

the development of our 2021-31<br />

Long Term Plan, so I would really<br />

encourage people to share their<br />

views if they are approached by<br />

staff at a council location or if<br />

they receive an email or letter<br />

from us.”<br />

This year’s survey included specific<br />

questions that will help the<br />

city council decide what it should<br />

prioritise in the LTP.<br />

“The Covid-19 pandemic has<br />

prompted many people, businesses<br />

and organisations to rethink<br />

their plans and priorities and to<br />

tighten their belts. We are having<br />

to do that too,” Baxendale said.<br />

Outward Bound life-changing<br />

Kylie Joy has “cheated<br />

death” three times<br />

throughout life and<br />

attributes her resilience<br />

to the lessons she learned<br />

during the challenges of<br />

Outward Bound.<br />

THE AVONHEAD resident embarked<br />

on a three-week course<br />

in 2018 and since returning, has<br />

made some major, in some cases<br />

profound, changes.<br />

She said the course has given<br />

her a “second chance” at life,<br />

helped her mend bridges and<br />

build relationships.<br />

“Since Outward Bound I<br />

have managed to repair my<br />

relationship with my mum and<br />

strengthen my bond with my<br />

dad and my husband,” said Joy.<br />

“I’ve lost 20kg and have even<br />

changed employment recently<br />

– only made possible by the<br />

pandemic – to a vocation more<br />

appropriate for my skill set.<br />

“I have made difficult decisions<br />

such as leaving operations<br />

in St John ambulance which I<br />

have volunteered for many years<br />

and have changed my whole attitude<br />

on life – you could say I’m<br />

more appreciative of the simple<br />

things in life.”<br />

Outdoor Bound helps people<br />

The programme provides<br />

emotional and physical skills<br />

transferable into daily life<br />

through activities with real<br />

consequences, such as sailing,<br />

kayaking, high ropes, tramping<br />

and more.<br />

Joy has experienced lifethreatening<br />

health conditions<br />

in the past two years since<br />

returning from Outward Bound,<br />

including severe and chronic<br />

pancreatitis, and bacteremia (a<br />

blood infection).<br />

The chronic pancreatitis also<br />

caused significant weight loss<br />

and other complications which<br />

the doctor had told her “threatened<br />

to shorten her life,” after<br />

having operations to manage the<br />

disease.<br />

The bacteremia, caused by an<br />

infected IV line, has an 80 per<br />

cent mortality rate. She spent<br />

three months in rehabilitation<br />

rebuilding the use of her arm<br />

after the infection degraded her<br />

muscles.<br />

“I’ve cheated death three<br />

times,” she said, referring to<br />

bouts of life-threatening medical<br />

conditions and subsequent<br />

surgeries.<br />

“I know that it has been the<br />

resilience I learned at Outward<br />

Bound along with my faith that<br />

has saved me from a very early<br />

grave.”<br />

When the borders open again,<br />

Joy planned to travel to Australia<br />

to see her mother and closer<br />

to home, planned to do a 10-day<br />

tramp on Stewart Island.<br />

“These are challenges I would<br />

not have attempted if Outward<br />

Bound had not given me the<br />

skills and guts to do. They will<br />

say I had this in me all along,<br />

but I couldn’t see it.”<br />

“Grit and determination has<br />

got me to where I am now and<br />

they were lessons from the<br />

course. My story is ongoing and<br />

it’s by no means the end of the<br />

battle, but I’m still here.”<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Last month I wrote about ‘market madness’<br />

and the incredible sense of urgency to<br />

purchase, and, so far, that’s continuing. Now<br />

I’m told, by the media as much as my own<br />

observations, that much of this is driven by<br />

FOMO or ‘Fear of Missing Out’.<br />

And it’s absolutely correct. Auctions and<br />

their counterpart deadline sales are being<br />

brought forward in large numbers, meaning<br />

buyers aren’t waiting for the actual auction<br />

or deadline date to make their move.<br />

They’re determined to pursue their property<br />

dreams right now! In one day last week I<br />

received notification (as we do across the<br />

entire brand to ensure we can inform<br />

any interested party) of 16 auctions or<br />

deadline sales being brought forward due<br />

to an acceptable offer being made. And,<br />

remember, if that’s for an auction, the offer is<br />

absolutely unconditional.<br />

Over time, I’ve seen the full range of<br />

emotions, including tears from first-home<br />

buyers with a new baby in arms and the odd<br />

raging bull yelling at the price of a property<br />

going beyond expectation and budget.<br />

So, the questions are: what should I do and<br />

when should I do it?<br />

And I think the easiest answer is this line<br />

from Tony Alexander, a well-known (and<br />

often quoted) economist who, despite being<br />

the most optimistic of the economists, is<br />

probably also one of the most accurate.<br />

“Waiting for prices to drop hasn’t<br />

been a good strategy for the last three<br />

decades.”<br />

And it’s true.<br />

Personally, I’ve tried to favour a measured<br />

approach to real estate purchases and that<br />

Safe space for young cyclists opens<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

LEARNING HOW to ride a bike<br />

and navigating road rules just got a<br />

whole lot easier for children.<br />

The Longview Pl cul-de-sac in<br />

Burwood has been transformed into<br />

a learn to ride track complete with<br />

road markings, stop and give way<br />

signs, pedestrian crossings and mini<br />

obstacles.<br />

Found at the red zone’s East x East<br />

space, the circular track enables<br />

children to learn road rules on<br />

their bikes and scooters without<br />

the pressure of other cars in a fun<br />

environment.<br />

The project was organised by Life<br />

in Vacant Spaces, which works with<br />

community groups by bringing<br />

their ideas to life for events and<br />

activities at underutilised spaces.<br />

Said LiVS director Rachael Shiels:<br />

“The project has been so rewarding<br />

in terms of community involvement<br />

and getting this off the ground. It’s<br />

a really fantastic thing for the east,<br />

and for these communities who<br />

have been through so much.”<br />

Including the track, a fix-it station<br />

will be available to repair bikes, and<br />

children can attend workshops to<br />

learn road rules.<br />

Activities within the 9ha area<br />

was a collaboration between Land<br />

Information NZ and Life in Vacant<br />

Spaces, with funding grants from<br />

the George Sevicke Jones Trust.<br />

TEAM WORK: (From left) – East x East co-ordinator Hannah<br />

Watkinson, Burwood councillor Phil Mauger, Coastal Ward<br />

Community Board member Jo Zervos and Citycare Group’s<br />

Thomas Parackal at the new learn to ride track at its opening on<br />

Saturday.<br />

As the landowner of the Crownowned<br />

red zone area, LINZ has<br />

approved LiVS’ short-term use of<br />

the space.<br />

Volunteers from the Student<br />

Volunteer Army, Rangi Ruru Girls’<br />

School, Cashmere High School,<br />

Christchurch Girls’ High School,<br />

Papanui High School and assistance<br />

from the City Care group helped install<br />

signs, patch potholes, painting<br />

and planting.<br />

The track was first proposed in<br />

2018 after the community wanted<br />

more safe spaces suitable for families,<br />

bikes, and were dog-friendly.<br />

Said Shiels: “Kids are small and<br />

easy to miss by cars, so they’ll be<br />

able to learn with family and friends<br />

out in the open without doing it in<br />

‘real life’.”<br />

The learn to ride track will be in<br />

place for two years, with options to<br />

remain longer if successful.<br />

When your brand includes the top Harcourts<br />

office out of 900 around the world in addition<br />

to the top franchise in New Zealand for<br />

income per sales consultant, it’s clear that<br />

you’ve got an extraordinary team.<br />

So for these consultants to earn the position of one of the top ten real estate sales<br />

consultants at Harcourts gold is truly a remarkable achievement.<br />

They are phenomenally good at what they do; skilled, highly trained and dedicated<br />

to delivering exceptional results for property owners. I am extremely proud to work<br />

with these real estate professionals.<br />

SPORT<br />

Year 9 and 10 students from the Canterbury region<br />

competed for top honours in the junior indoor volleyball<br />

championships held at Pioneer Stadium last weekend.<br />

The annual three-day tournament attracted an increased<br />

number of teams this year, with 32 girls teams and 18 boys<br />

teams competing in two divisions. The winning teams go<br />

on to the South Island championships to be held later<br />

this year in Invercargill. In the hotly-contested first division,<br />

Burnside High School’s girls year 9 green team fought a<br />

close battle with Rangiora New Life School, but lost in two<br />

sets finishing fourth in their pool.<br />

Sofia Healey waits patiently for the action to start.<br />

Panel repairs in handy,<br />

central city location<br />

As we all know, having our car off the road<br />

for panel repairs can be frustrating, but for<br />

customers of Smart Repairs (NZ) Limited in<br />

Lichfield Street, this isn’t a problem.<br />

“With our focus on fast and efficient<br />

turnaround, getting customers back on the<br />

road as quickly as possible is our aim” says<br />

Brian, who owns Smart Repairs with his<br />

wife Maxine.<br />

As specialists in small to medium vehicle<br />

repairs, no job is too small. Their services<br />

include panelbeating, spray painting,<br />

paintless dent removal (PDR) and mag<br />

wheel repairs and painting.<br />

Customers can be assured of top-quality<br />

workmanship at Smart Repairs, with Brian<br />

and Glenn having over 50 years’ industry<br />

experience between them.<br />

Customers also have the use of a free<br />

courtesy car, so they can stay on the road<br />

while their vehicle is in the workshop.<br />

There is a free pick-up and delivery service<br />

within Christchurch available on request.<br />

Accidents happen, but there is no<br />

need to panic - the Smart Repairs team<br />

can provide quotes for all insurance<br />

companies, and carry out those repairs<br />

quickly and professionally. With their<br />

friendly, personal approach they make it<br />

easy for customers who may be unsure<br />

what to do if their vehicle has been<br />

scratched or dented. They offer free advice<br />

and assessments, and are happy to discuss<br />

the options for your vehicle repair.<br />

“We take pride in our work and want<br />

to ensure that our customers are happy<br />

with the results,” says Maxine. “We stand<br />

behind our repairs”.<br />

Eftpos and credit cards are accepted.<br />
