CLINGING TO life, baby<br />
Sarah Ann Judson was almost<br />
tossed overboard while<br />
emigrating to New Zealand in<br />
the 1860s because she seemed<br />
unresponsive.<br />
The story is a favourite<br />
discovered by her great-granddaughter,<br />

Addressing<br />
traffic<br />
issues on<br />
community<br />
board<br />
agenda<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
SOLVING TRAFFIC issues,<br />
promoting community safety<br />
and celebrating different cultures<br />
will be among the priorities<br />
for the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
this year.<br />
Board chairwoman<br />
Bridget<br />
Williams said<br />
the board aims<br />
to improve traffic<br />
flow with the<br />
installation of<br />
right-turning<br />
arrows in three<br />
locations.<br />
These are<br />
Maidstone Rd and Waimairi<br />
Bridget<br />
Williams<br />
Rd intersection, the Northwood<br />
Boulevard and Main North Rd<br />
intersection, and the Wairakei Rd<br />
and Grahams Rd intersection.<br />
“There’s a lot of those right<br />
turns and you’re getting cars in<br />
the middle of the road, waiting<br />
and waiting and waiting,” Williams<br />
said.<br />
“[You’re] not letting traffic go<br />
through if you don’t give that<br />
right turn.”<br />
The construction of a shared<br />
footpath along Gardiners Rd was<br />
also something the board would<br />
push for.<br />

Mami’s loving life in the pool<br />
LIFEGUARD AND swim<br />
instructor Mami Mori has loved<br />
the water all her life.<br />
Mori grew up in Japan where<br />
she attended swimming lessons<br />
with her brother from the age of<br />
nine.<br />
They then caught the bus to<br />
training three times a week and,<br />
by junior high school, Mori<br />
was a competitive freestyle and<br />
breaststroke swimmer.<br />
“My mother couldn’t swim so<br />
she wanted us to be able to,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I wasn’t as strong as my<br />
brother, he was a national rep –<br />
but I loved swimming.”<br />
Not only is Mori a Swimsmart<br />
tutor at Pioneer Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre, she’s also<br />
a lifeguard at Jellie Park and<br />
Waltham Pool.<br />
Mori started her job<br />
as a lifeguard last summer<br />
and just two weeks into the role<br />
she found herself jumping in to<br />
save a boy who was struggling<br />
and at risk of drowning at Jellie<br />
Park.<br />
“What I had been taught to<br />
look for was exactly what I saw<br />
happening in the pool, making<br />
the training very valuable,” she<br />
said.<br />
“I didn’t need to think about<br />
what to do, I reacted to the<br />
situation and jumped into the<br />
water immediately.<br />
“He was a bit shocked but he<br />
was okay. I was a bit shocked<br />
SPLASH: Mami Mori is a lifeguard at Jellie Park Recreation and Sport Centre.<br />
too, but it gave me confidence<br />
knowing I could make the right<br />
decisions and help those in<br />
trouble.”<br />
Mori said it’s not just children<br />
who can panic or get into trouble<br />
at the swimming pool.<br />
“If people haven’t learned<br />
to swim as children they<br />
can sometimes lack skills or<br />
confidence in the water,” she<br />
said. One of the reasons she<br />
enjoys teaching swim classes is<br />
to help people grow up feeling<br />
happy and confident in the water,<br />
especially as there’s so many<br />
beaches, rivers and lakes in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Her students are primary-aged<br />
children and pre-schoolers, who<br />
are “very cute” and have a lot of<br />
energy, she said.<br />
“They’re so enthusiastic,<br />
though sometimes it’s hard to get<br />
them to listen.”<br />
When she’s working as a<br />
lifeguard, she keeps a watchful<br />
eye on everyone, especially<br />
children.<br />
She said with the warm<br />
weather bringing more people<br />
to the pool, lifeguards have to<br />
constantly monitor the area<br />
and look out for any potential<br />
hazards.<br />
“What I love best about my<br />
job is seeing the improvement of<br />
the students in the swimming<br />
classes and, as a lifeguard, I can<br />
PHOTOS: NEWSLINE<br />
help ensure people are safe and<br />
having fun,” she said.<br />
When asked if she had<br />
any advice for the public this<br />
summer she said: “I would say<br />
listen to the lifeguards at all<br />
times and respect other pool<br />
users and staff. And if you are a<br />
parent or caregiver, help us out<br />
by looking out for your children<br />
too, actively supervise undereights<br />
and keep under fives<br />
within an arm’s reach.”<br />

great hands with their professionalism and amazing organisational skills.<br />
Everything ran so smoothly and efficiently. Cameron certainly knows what<br />
was happening with the market at the time we had our house listed and<br />
this was a huge part of us selling our home with him and our successful sale.<br />
A huge thank you to Cameron and his amazing team Sam and Lisa, I would<br />
certainly recommend them to everyone thinking of selling their home.<br />

ROOM TO GROW: Neighbourhood Trust general manager Dan Hyzl says<br />
public input will help determine what the McFaddens Rd community<br />
garden will look like.<br />
PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<br />
Survey to determine<br />
what you want from<br />
neighbourhood garden<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
PREPARATIONS are<br />
under way for a community<br />
garden aiming to help<br />
people grow together,<br />
physically and mentally.<br />
A survey is now open<br />
for those in St Albans,<br />
Mairehau, Shirley, or the<br />
surrounding suburbs to<br />
give input on the McFaddens<br />
Rd garden.<br />
Neighbourhood Trust<br />
general manager Dan Hyzl<br />
said opinions on the <strong>13</strong>0m2<br />
garden will help shape the<br />
final outcome.<br />
“It’s a survey of what you<br />
would like in the gardens<br />
and maybe what you don’t<br />
need in the gardens. We’ll<br />
take everything into consideration,”<br />
Hyzl said.<br />
Non-profit organisation<br />
The Green Lab has partnered<br />
with the trust to help<br />
design the garden.<br />
In addition to vegetable<br />
• From page 1<br />
“It’s a long stretch of<br />
road, there’s a lot of residential<br />
housing and that<br />
sort of thing. There’s demand<br />
for providing a safe<br />
walkway, for both cyclists<br />
and walkers.”<br />
Controlling traffic speed<br />
around neighbourhoods<br />
and schools was another<br />
priority, she said.<br />
Last year the board<br />
kick-started Avonhead and<br />
Russley Community Safety<br />
Initiative in collaboration<br />
with the Christchurch<br />
North Community Patrol,<br />
police, Neighbourhood<br />
Support Canterbury and<br />
Ilam MP Sarah Pallett.<br />
It carried out a survey<br />
beds, options such as a play<br />
area, composting facilities<br />
and a polytunnel for yearround<br />
growing are also<br />
being considered.<br />
The survey also<br />
asks who is interested<br />
in contributing to or<br />
benefiting from the garden,<br />
and how often they would<br />
use the garden.<br />
Those who the trust<br />
particularly aimed to<br />
help with the garden were<br />
young families, people<br />
isolated within the community,<br />
and those with<br />
mental health needs, Hyzl<br />
said.<br />
The outdoor space would<br />
provide a place to “grow<br />
together” and promote<br />
healthy eating.<br />
“There’s a lot of people in<br />
the community who might<br />
not be eating as healthy as<br />
they should, eating processed<br />
food.”<br />
In the future, the trust<br />
to identify safety concerns<br />
of people who lived in the<br />
area, which Williams said<br />
would be followed up this<br />
year.<br />
“We’ll see how we could<br />
put together some kind of<br />
community meeting or<br />
workshop to help residents<br />
and neighbourhoods look<br />
after themselves.”<br />
The board was now looking<br />
at expanding the safety<br />
initiative to Bishopdale and<br />
Strowan, although no date<br />
had been set for this.<br />
Improving community<br />
facilitates such as the public<br />
toilets at Bishopdale Mall<br />
would be another focus.<br />
Board priorities this<br />
year were a balance of core<br />
also hoped to offer cooking<br />
courses incorporating the<br />
produce grown in the community<br />
garden.<br />
“Lots of the ingredients<br />
from the community<br />
garden could be used for<br />
these cooking courses for<br />
different ethnic groups that<br />
are in our community as<br />
well.”<br />
Work towards clearing<br />
the garden site was under<br />
way, and Hyzl said he<br />
hoped a grand opening<br />
would take place sometime<br />
in April.<br />
He estimated the project<br />
would have a final price tag<br />
of between $8000-$12,000,<br />
and was pleased with the<br />
support it had received so<br />
far, including help from<br />
volunteers.<br />
A link to the survey,<br />
which closes on <strong>January</strong><br />
20, can be found on the<br />
Neighbourhood Trust<br />
facebook page.<br />
Speed around schools a priority<br />
services and social and environmental<br />
components,<br />
she said.<br />
This included Culture<br />
Galore, set to be held with<br />
board support in Ilam’s Ray<br />
Blank Park on February 19.<br />
“Organisations of the<br />
community from all different<br />
ethnicities come<br />
together and it’s a big<br />
celebration of culture.”<br />
It was likely to be another<br />
year of uncertainty owing<br />
to the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
“The board would<br />
love to thank everyone,<br />
especially community<br />
groups and active citizens,<br />
for getting involved in their<br />
community during these<br />
difficult times.”<br />

Receiving award ‘absolutely amazing’<br />
• From page 1<br />
The ships on which colonists<br />
sailed from England had “awful”<br />
conditions, she said.<br />
“One of my great-grandmothers<br />
only just made it. Her sister<br />
had died on the ship, and as they<br />
usually did, they’d wrapped her<br />
in a bit of sailcloth and chucked<br />
her over the side.”<br />
The captain then turned to<br />
her great-great-grandmother<br />
and asked whether one-year-old<br />
Sarah Ann was alive.<br />
“At which point my greatgrandmother<br />
apparently opened<br />
her eyes and looked out.”<br />
She survived to have nine children<br />
of her own.<br />
However, her shipboard brush<br />
with what was probably pneumonia<br />
meant that for the rest of her<br />
life had the use of only one lung.<br />
“She liked to joke with doctors<br />
who would say: ‘I have to tell you<br />
there’s something wrong with<br />
your lungs’, and she’d say: ‘Is<br />
there really?’ ”<br />
A trip to the cemetery as a<br />
teenager made a striking impression<br />
on Jill, which she credits<br />
with sparking her interest in<br />
genealogy.<br />
“I said to my father: ‘Who are<br />
all these people, they’ve got the<br />
same name as me’.”<br />
More questions followed:<br />
Where were they from? What<br />
had they done?<br />
Older relatives were a good<br />
source of information, revealing<br />
information that was unrecorded,<br />
she said.<br />
“Once you start quizzing them,<br />
funny little stories will come<br />
out.”<br />
The “mad habit” of genealogy<br />
was part of a wider interest in<br />
history.<br />
Most of her genealogy work<br />
involved helping others, she said.<br />
Society committee meetings<br />
always brought with them new<br />
emails and letters from people<br />
researching their families.<br />
The majority of them were<br />
from New Zealand, but they also<br />
came from Australia, the United<br />
Kingdom and the United States.<br />
Over the decades the society<br />
had helped several hundred<br />
people to delve into their family<br />
history, which was always rewarding,<br />
she said.<br />
There were plenty of surprises.<br />
For example, it was common<br />
that people would discover their<br />
forbears had spent time in prison.<br />
Fraud and bookmaking were<br />
recurring crimes, but one person<br />
discovered they were related<br />
to Minnie Dean, who in 1895<br />
became the only woman to be<br />
executed in New Zealand for killing<br />
children left in her care.<br />
For those with only names to<br />
go by, official birth, deaths and<br />
marriage certificates were useful<br />
in providing extra details, such as<br />
where the person was born.<br />
Archives New Zealand was an<br />
“amazing” source of information,<br />
and nowadays the internet was<br />
also a useful tool.<br />
Delving into the past could be<br />
difficult as records may not exist.<br />
She was unable to trace her family<br />
earlier than the 1700s.<br />
Records often related to land<br />
and so upper-class people were<br />
relatively easy to trace, whereas<br />
ordinary people were not, she<br />
said.<br />
When records did exist, she<br />
did not always trust them to be<br />
accurate.<br />
They could be tweaked to suit<br />
the interests of the record keepers<br />
or people who wanted to twist<br />
facts to make them neat and tidy,<br />
she said.<br />
For example, an unexplained<br />
name change could be an attempt<br />
to hide an illegitimate birth.<br />
“They were good at that. I don’t<br />
think it’s quite so easy to do<br />
today.”<br />
The modern trend for DNA<br />
testing could be helpful in<br />
FAMILY TREE: New Year<br />
Honours List Queen’s<br />
Service Medal recipient<br />
Jillian Lord has used her<br />
skills in genealogy to look<br />
into her own family tree,<br />
including the Grieve family<br />
who she has traced to the<br />
1700s.<br />

finding relatives and unlocking<br />
family trees others had already<br />
complied.<br />
For example, she would have<br />
discovered an illegitimate branch<br />
of her family if she did not already<br />
know it existed, she said.<br />
It could also show information<br />
on what countries families originated<br />
from.<br />
“Most people use [DNA testing]<br />
when they’re completely<br />
stuck. It’s true, you can’t alter it.”<br />
The classic method of recordsifting<br />
would always be important,<br />
she said.<br />
Along with this hands-on approach,<br />
Jill has also held all the<br />
roles on the society’s executive at<br />
various times, including serving<br />
as president in 1983 and 2006.<br />
Since 2009 she has filled the<br />
role of society librarian, and for<br />
the past 25 years, the society has<br />
also held meetings at her and her<br />
Minnie Dean<br />
husband’s property.<br />
She also runs courses on genealogy,<br />
contributing to local and<br />
regional University of the Third<br />
Age Groups<br />
Travelling overseas has also<br />
been part of her role, as she has<br />
enjoyed representing the society,<br />
and New Zealand, at genealogy<br />
conferences from Australia to the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
In spite of her long-serving<br />
contribution, news of her award<br />
took her by surprise, she said.<br />
“[My friends] They never said a<br />
word so the email I got from the<br />
honours committee at Government<br />
House was the first thing I<br />
knew.<br />
“At first I thought: ‘Oh what’s<br />
this junk mail’, and I nearly<br />
pressed the button and got rid of<br />
it.”<br />
She was overwhelmed when<br />
she realised what it was.<br />
“It was absolutely amazing,<br />
I’d love to have told people but I<br />
didn’t dare because they told you<br />
not to.”<br />
In hindsight, the friends who<br />
nominated her had been asking<br />
strange questions, she<br />
She now realised this was because<br />
they were trying to gather<br />
information to include in her<br />
nomination.<br />
Curiosity would drive her to<br />
continue her work in genealogy,<br />
as she said there were always<br />
mysteries to solve.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, parents and caregivers will<br />
be able to get their 5 to 11-year-olds<br />
immunised against COVID-19<br />
Some tamariki get very ill from catching<br />
COVID-19 and immunisation is one of<br />
the best ways to protect them.<br />
Immunisation is an important way we keep tamariki safe,<br />
like being sun smart or wearing a seatbelt.<br />
It protects your tamariki from many serious diseases<br />
and stops disease spreading within your whānau and the<br />
community. In Aotearoa, tamariki get free vaccinations<br />
against 12 diseases, including whooping cough (pertussis),<br />
measles and polio.<br />
Safety of the COVID-19 vaccine<br />
The child (paediatric) Pfizer vaccine has gone through<br />
the same rigorous approval process as other routine<br />
childhood immunisations. No clinical trials were skipped<br />
and no corners were cut in the testing of its safety.<br />
The Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds has been through<br />
clinical trials with children in this age group. In general,<br />
the side effects that were reported were mild, didn’t last<br />
long, and were similar to side effects from other routine<br />
immunisations.<br />
Take time this summer to get the information and advice you need to make the best<br />
decision for your tamariki. Find out more at:<br />

BEAUTIFUL: Community pride garden awards judge Ron<br />
Andrew and his wife Glyn.<br />
A NEAT garden that stands<br />
out from the rest is a winning<br />
formula when it comes to<br />
the community pride garden<br />
awards.<br />
The awards, which are being<br />
held for the 32nd year in a row,<br />
aim to celebrate and recognise<br />
beautiful gardens.<br />
Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association president Ron<br />
Andrew is one of 20 judges<br />
who will be making the rounds<br />
through neighbourhoods from<br />
Saturday in search of the best<br />
looking gardens visible from the<br />
street.<br />
Andrew said one of the main<br />
things the judges look for is<br />
community pride.<br />
He said a lot of people get<br />
involved in gardening each year,<br />
particularly the elderly and the<br />
effort they put in is amazing.<br />
Andrew also said the benefits<br />
of gardening make the hard<br />
work worthwhile.<br />
“It’s healthy, it gets rid of<br />
stress, it’s enjoyable and the end<br />
results are rewarding . . . it’s<br />
the most popular past time of<br />
anything.”<br />
Partnering with the city<br />
council, community boards and<br />
the Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association, the awards aim<br />
to encourage civic pride and<br />
recognise people who help<br />
maintain Christchurch’s<br />
reputation as the Garden City.<br />
“Many people in our<br />
communities put time and effort<br />
into their gardens each week,<br />
planting, mulching, weeding<br />
and mowing,” said city council<br />
head of community support,<br />
John Filsell.<br />
“We also have commercial<br />
property owners who go the<br />
extra mile with their public<br />
gardens.<br />
“It really makes a difference<br />
to how our streets look and<br />
how people feel about their<br />
community so we want to<br />
recognise that hard work<br />
through these awards.”<br />
Volunteer judges from the<br />
association will be judging the<br />
gardens from <strong>January</strong> 15 to<br />
February 6.<br />
Last year 682 awards were<br />
given out for outstanding<br />
gardens.<br />
The gardens will be<br />
judged on the amount of<br />
effort put into creating and<br />
maintaining it, overall tidiness<br />
and the impact of the garden on<br />
the street.<br />
Gardeners that meet these<br />
standards will receive a prize<br />
card in their mailbox, with all<br />
gardens visible from the street<br />
being eligible, both residential<br />
and commercial.<br />
Six community boards<br />
are involved in the awards:<br />
Coastal-Burwood, Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood,<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton,<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote,<br />
Papanui-Innes and Spreydon-<br />
Cashmere.<br />
Any garden within these areas<br />
and visible from the street is<br />
eligible for an award.<br />

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS<br />
Making a property decision<br />
this year? Here is a ‘selling your<br />
home’ checklist<br />
Feature Properties<br />
Selling a home can be a very<br />
involved process. We grow<br />
attached to our homes and<br />
it can be hard to move on<br />
from them, especially if we<br />
have been in tenure for a long<br />
time. We sell for any number<br />
of reasons but no matter the<br />
reason, the same things need<br />
to be considered before you<br />
start the process.<br />

• Preparing your home:<br />
You will need to get the<br />
property looking as attractive<br />
as possible to prospective<br />
buyers. For some, this will mean<br />
finally finishing that half started DIY<br />
project, working on outstanding<br />
repairs and maintenance, decluttering<br />
and cleaning. Speak to a property<br />
expert if you are considering any<br />
expensive alterations to make sure<br />
it’s worth the cost.<br />
• Repair History:<br />
If your property has had insurance or<br />
EQC repairs then this documentation,<br />
including evidence of completion of<br />
works, needs to be compiled for the<br />
sale. If you can’t find this information<br />
then you can call EQC (0800 326 243)<br />
and ask for them to send you the file<br />
for your property. Note this can take<br />
up to 20 working days to arrive so it<br />
can be a good idea to order this well<br />
ahead of time.<br />
• Find a salesperson (agent):<br />
Contact a few experienced local real<br />
estate salespeople (agents) and set<br />
up interviews. Potential salespeople<br />
will evaluate your property and give<br />
you a comparative market analysis.<br />
Once you find your salesperson,<br />
you will sign a contract stating any<br />
commissions due, length of the<br />
agreement, marketing costs and the<br />
estimated sale cost.<br />
• Making important decisions<br />
around the sale:<br />
Next, work with your salesperson to<br />
decide how you want to sell (auction,<br />
deadline sale, price etc.), the digital<br />
and/or print marketing that you will<br />
use to advertise the property, open<br />
home times and what price guide the<br />
agent will use when people enquire<br />
about your property.<br />
• Contracts:<br />
Your salesperson will draw up<br />
the contract of sale which should<br />
include all details of the owners,<br />
title, conditions of the sale, what is<br />
included in the chattels (for example,<br />
oven) as well as settlement date, legal<br />
description and any tenancy details if<br />
relevant.<br />
• Going to market:<br />
The length of time your home will<br />
be on the market depends on how<br />
you choose to sell. For an auction it’s<br />
usually a four week campaign with an<br />
unconditional sale under the hammer,<br />
whereas a deadline sale can be a<br />
two to three week campaign with a<br />
further period of due diligence once it<br />
is under offer.<br />
• The final steps:<br />
Your salesperson will be responsible<br />
for negotiating with potential buyers<br />
to get the best price for you. Once it<br />
has been sold, the buyer usually pays<br />
a deposit at this point. The last step<br />
is settlement day. This is when you<br />
give the keys over to the new owners<br />
and vacate the property in exchange<br />
for the full agreed upon amount.<br />
Congratulations on your sale!<br />
If you would like to discuss your<br />
upcoming sale with any of the team<br />
here at Ray White Papanui please<br />
don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can<br />
contact our office on 03 352 0567.<br />
We look forward to hearing from you.<br />
