Speeding<br />
tickets<br />
do not<br />

residents’<br />
reality<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
POLICE ISSUED 341 speeding<br />
tickets on Cranford St last year.<br />
It comes as Papanui-Innes<br />
Community Board member<br />
Ali Jones raised concerns that<br />
police were not<br />
patrolling the<br />
area enough to<br />
catch speedsters.<br />
“There is<br />
no doubt<br />
that speeding<br />
and red-light<br />
running are<br />
issues along the Ali Jones<br />
[Christchurch<br />
Northern Corridor] and in St<br />
Albans generally,” Jones said.<br />
In an area of Cranford St with<br />
a speed limit of 50km/h, one<br />
car allegedly reached speeds of<br />
between 91km/h to <strong>10</strong>0km/h.<br />
In the same speed zone, six<br />
drivers were allegedly travelling<br />
between 81-90km/h, 37 between<br />
71-80km/h, 252 between<br />
61-70km/h and 40 between<br />
51-60km/h.<br />
In an area with a speed limit<br />
of 30km/h, four drivers allegedly<br />
reached speeds of between<br />
41-50km/h, and one between<br />
51-60km/h.<br />

Hot pools making a splash<br />
In Brief<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
HE PUNA Taimoana hot pools<br />
were introduced as part of the<br />
New Brighton Regeneration<br />
Project, to attract more visitors<br />
to the area.<br />
While local business owners<br />
welcomed new customers when<br />
the pools first opened, Covid has<br />
made it difficult to see the true<br />
impact.<br />
Karma Free Cafe owner Vanda<br />
Chandran said before the traffic<br />
light system, the hot pools were<br />
bringing more business to the<br />
area and her cafe.<br />
“We had people coming in<br />
after the hot pools and getting<br />
food, or before the pools,” she<br />
said.<br />
“It’s been good for bringing<br />
people in as well as [for] the<br />
locals. It’s definitely positive for<br />
New Brighton.”<br />
However, The Burger Joint<br />
owner Caroline Riley said while<br />
the hot pools brought some new<br />
business, it wasn’t the main<br />
source.<br />
Riley said most of her business<br />
was due to the growing number<br />
of young families moving into<br />
New Brighton, discovering<br />
what’s happening in their local<br />
area.<br />
“We’ve always been supported<br />
really well by our local community,”<br />
she said. “We’ve still seen<br />
a steady increase in the business<br />

but not fully as a result of the<br />

attribute some of it to it.”<br />
The hot pools recently experienced<br />
its second summer season<br />
and management said it was a<br />
great success.<br />

Merryn Skipper said the pools<br />
were especially popular over the<br />
holiday period, attracting guests<br />
from not only the city, but also<br />
the country.<br />
“Cantabrians have brought<br />
a lot of Christmas cheer to our<br />
seaside facility with an increase<br />
Ascent &<br />
McKinlays<br />
from $79.95 - $149<br />
of guests visiting in December<br />
from the same time last year,”<br />
she said.<br />
In spite of being shut for a<br />
month in August and September<br />
with lockdown and maintenance,<br />
the pools saw more than <strong>10</strong>,000<br />
guests over the Christmas and<br />
New Year holiday period.<br />
At the same time, they<br />
welcomed 55,000 guests to New<br />
Brighton in the first six months<br />
of the financial year.<br />
“We really appreciate<br />
the continued strong local<br />
community support,” Skipper<br />
said. “Cantabrians are bringing<br />
friends and family to the<br />
hot pools when they visit<br />
Christchurch.”<br />
Coastal<br />
Ward<br />
councillor<br />
Celeste<br />
Donovan said<br />
there is “no<br />
doubt” the<br />
hot pools have<br />
Celeste<br />
Donovan<br />
had a positive<br />
impact on New<br />
Brighton and<br />
the Coastal Ward as a whole.<br />
“It has lifted the confidence of<br />
residents by having a world-class<br />
facility right on our back door,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We know that electronic<br />
spending in New Brighton<br />
has increased since the hot<br />
pools opened.”<br />
DONALD’S CABIN BUILT<br />
Volunteers visited the New<br />
Brighton Community Gardens<br />
to help out with building a<br />
cabin for Donald, a blind and<br />
deaf sculptor. The volunteers<br />
were from Citycare Property,<br />
Connetics, Orion, New Brighton<br />
Menz Shed and Shirley Boys’<br />
High School. The final touches,<br />
such as floorboards and doors,<br />
will be done this weekend.<br />

Automatic doors have been<br />

by the swimming pools. The<br />

Kees Bruin: Visions of the Real<br />
by John c stringer and Kees Bruin<br />
Two years after graduating, Kees Bruin was exhibiting alongside Leo Bensemann, Don<br />
Binney, Doris Lusk, Trevor Moffitt, Peter Siddell, Olivia Spencer-Bower, Grahame Sydney,<br />
Robin White, and Brent Wong. For more than five decades of dedicated painterly<br />
practice and exhibition, Kees Bruin has established a unique visionary identity within<br />
the framework of New Zealand realism that is enthusiastically commissioned and<br />
collected internationally. His three overlapping categories: photo-realism, super-realism<br />
and what he terms “visionary-realism,” sprung from a personal search for all things<br />
truth hence his clever use of symbol, have gifted us exquisite panoramic landscapes,<br />
expressions of cultural pursuits such as surfing and skateboarding often imbued with<br />
metaphor, single and group portraits, reinterpretations of masters, especially the Dutch<br />
Golden Age, elaborated ‘still-lifes’ and works that explore elements of western Judaeo-<br />
Christian histories combined with contemporaneous fashions, settings and views to and<br />
from the earth. This personal genre launches us as art viewers into emotional odysseys<br />
of timeless human concern: Spirituality, the universe, beauty, truth, life and death, sex,<br />
betrayal, vanity and loss, as well as using paint to express beauty for its own sake.<br />

Lose over 6kg in 21 days with this combined program for accelerated weight loss. In The Fast 800 Keto,<br />
dynamic new weight-loss program combines a ketogenic diet with low-calorie intermittent fasting, giving<br />

why it is good for you. His ground-breaking new approach helps you get into ketosis faster so you can<br />
lose weight safely, improve mood and reduce blood pressure, inflammation and blood sugars. Dr Mosley<br />
offers clear advice on which foods help put you into ketosis, which foods bring you out of it, how you can<br />
tell if you are producing ketones and how to ensure you are following the diet safely. With an easy-tofollow,<br />
step-by-step program that offers plenty of tips and advice to help you stay on track, along with fifty<br />
delicious, low-carb recipes and menu plans by Dr Clare Bailey.<br />
Rise by siya Kolisi<br />
‘Siya Kolisi is a warrior on the field and an inspiration off it. This book is an extraordinary reminder<br />
of what can be achieved with inner belief and an indefatigable spirit.’ JAY SHETTY ‘Siya’s story is well<br />
documented, and I am so impressed by the way he conducts himself. As the captain of his team and<br />
as a statesman he is measured and thoughtful. He is a leader in every way. An inspiration to a dynamic<br />
South African nation.’ EDDIE JONES His truth. His story. In his words. There have been many comments<br />
made and books written about Siya Kolisi, captain of the Springboks, and the first black man to lead his<br />
country in over 128 years of South African rugby. But now, for the very first time, Siya Kolisi shares his<br />
story in an extraordinarily intimate memoir, charting his journey from being born into the impoverished<br />
Zwide township, to leading his proud nation to an astonishing victory at the Rugby World Cup in 2019.<br />
However, Rise is not simply a chronology of matches played and games won; it is an exploration of a<br />
man’s race and his faith, a masterclass in attaining a positive mindset, and an inspirational reminder<br />
that it is possible to defy the odds, no matter how they are stacked against you. In 2020, partly in<br />
response to the pandemic, Siya and his wife, Rachel, launched The Kolisi Foundation, providing personal<br />
protective equipment to healthcare workers and delivering food parcels throughout South Africa. The<br />
title Rise is inspired by Siya’s mother - Phakama - which translates to the book’s name, as well as a<br />
celebration of his Xhosa heritage.<br />
Leap of Faith<br />
by Frankie dettori<br />
When Lanfranco ‘Frankie’ Dettori arrived on British shores in 1985, aged just 14, he couldn’t speak a<br />
word of English. Having left school just a year earlier and following in the footsteps of his father, he was<br />
eager to become a stable boy and apprentice jockey, willing to do everything it took to make it. This was<br />
his first, but certainly not his last, leap of faith. Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British<br />
racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and<br />
with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to<br />
win over <strong>10</strong>0 races in a single season. By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the<br />
sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven<br />
races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation. Nearly<br />
25 years later, and having won the Longines World’s Best Jockey for three consecutive years running,<br />
Frankie has demonstrated an unparalled level of longevity at the pinnacle of his sport. But his story is not<br />
simply one of uninterrupted success, but also of personal anguish, recovery and restoration – both in and<br />
out of the saddle.. Heartfelt and poignant, this is not simply a memoir, but a celebration of perseverance<br />
and defying the odds.<br />
Little Bird of Auschwitz<br />
by alina & Jacques Peretti<br />
As a reporter, Jacques Peretti has spent his life investigating important stories. But there was one story, heard in<br />
scattered fragments throughout his childhood, that he never thought to investigate. The story of how his mother<br />
survived Auschwitz.<br />
In the few last months of the War, thirteen-year-old Alina Peretti, along with her mother and sister, was one of<br />
thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz, in the wake of the Warsaw Uprising. Her experiences there,<br />
which she rarely discussed, cast a shadow over the rest of her life. Now ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with<br />
dementia. Together, mother and son begin a race against time to record her memories and preserve her family’s<br />
story. For the first time, Alina recalls her experiences as a child during the Second World War, the horrors that she<br />
witnessed in Auschwitz, and the miraculous story of how she survived a firing squad.<br />
Along the way, Jacques learns long-hidden secrets about his mother’s family; his mysterious grandfather who lived<br />
a double-life, his grandmother who read tarot cards in a Soviet labour camp, and his aunt and uncles, whose fate<br />
he never knew. He also gains an understanding of his mother through retracing her past, learning more about the<br />
woman who would never let him call her ‘Mum’.<br />

TRAFFIC ISSUES: Papanui-Innes Community Board<br />
member Ali Jones is concerned about police<br />
enforcement of speed limits on Cranford St.<br />
Hundreds of tickets<br />
on Cranford St<br />
•From page 1<br />
Last year, Jones raised<br />
concerns with the board about<br />
traffic speeding in Cranford St<br />
and the Christchurch Northern<br />
Corridor, noting she did not see<br />
a police presence in the area.<br />
She said an average of less than<br />
one speeding ticket per day was<br />
issued on Cranford St and did<br />
not alter her position on this.<br />
“No amount of quoted police<br />
data relating to the number of<br />
tickets issued or average speeds<br />
is going to change what many of<br />
us regularly see and experience,”<br />
Jones said.<br />
City council data taken in<br />
May shows an average daily<br />
traffic count of 24,741 on<br />
Cranford St, between Innes Rd<br />
and Knowles St, with an average<br />
speed of 42km/h.<br />
Lower down on Cranford St,<br />
between Westminster St and<br />
Berwick St, the daily average<br />
was 23,098, with an average<br />
speed of 37.5km/h.<br />
Police declined to give<br />
statistics on how many speeding<br />
tickets were issued on the CNC,<br />
stating these would be recorded<br />
as State Highway 76 and could<br />
have been issued anywhere<br />
along the highway.<br />
When asked how frequently<br />
the roads were patrolled, police<br />
did not specify a number,<br />
stating the area was patrolled<br />
“to a level supported by the risk<br />
it poses compared to the rest of<br />
Christchurch.”<br />
Said Jones: “The number<br />
of tickets issues are related to<br />
the amount of policing, surely,<br />
and we still don’t know that<br />
amount.<br />
“This is about the safety of<br />
our community, and I believe<br />
the council and police need to<br />
work together more effectively<br />
to address these problems.”<br />

Five ways to add value to your property<br />
WHETHER YOU are trying to<br />
sell your house now or looking<br />
ahead to a possible sale in the<br />
years to come, maximising your<br />
sale price is an important consideration.<br />
If you are investing money in<br />
repairs and renovations, you want<br />
to be sure you will get bang for<br />
your buck, otherwise known as<br />
return on investment. So how do<br />
you add value to your home in<br />
ways that are truly meaningful to<br />
buyers?<br />
Upgrade your bathrooms<br />
and kitchen<br />
There’s an unwritten rule of real<br />
estate that bathrooms and kitchens<br />
are what sell houses.<br />
However, renovations and improvements<br />
in these spaces can be<br />
costly, so don’t jump in without<br />
first running the numbers, and<br />
doing some proper planning.<br />
Be sure to research what’s ‘on<br />
trend’ – the last thing you want<br />
to do is invest in an upgrade<br />
that’s now out of style and<br />
won’t do your house price any<br />
favours. Interior decorators, real<br />
estate agents, and professional<br />
property valuers are all great<br />
people to tap for advice on this.<br />
Give the property a lick of<br />
paint<br />
Not every change you make has<br />
to involve a large-scale overhaul<br />
of appliances or restructure of an<br />
entire space. Sometimes, all that’s<br />
needed is a little TLC and refresh<br />
to bring a tired-looking property<br />
back to life.<br />
Focus on areas that receive a lot<br />
of wear and tear – interior doors<br />
being a great example. You’d be<br />
amazed at how a fresh coat of<br />
white paint on old wooden doors<br />
can help modernise a property in<br />
the eyes of your buyers.<br />
Rethink internal garages<br />
Increasing the size of existing<br />
rooms or making unlivable spaces<br />
liveable will help grow the value<br />
of your home. If you can declutter<br />
these spaces and make a couple<br />
of comfort-adding changes, you<br />
have an entirely new room at<br />
your disposal.<br />
Add a sleepout<br />
Building a studio or sleepout<br />
can add between $50,000 and<br />
$<strong>10</strong>0,000 in value to a New<br />
Zealand property and could also<br />
attract a larger pool of buyers.<br />
There’s currently huge interest<br />
in home-and- income<br />
properties.<br />
Be sure you understand the<br />
legal ramifications of adding what<br />
is essentially a separate dwelling<br />
onto your existing home.<br />
Invest in outdoor living<br />
spaces<br />
During the Covid lockdowns,<br />
we all learned the importance<br />
of living close to green spaces<br />
or having a garden of our own.<br />
Poorly kept gardens can be a real<br />
turn-off during open homes or<br />
private viewings.<br />

Manukura Kōrero<br />
Whāia e koe te iti kahurangi. Ki te tuohu me<br />
he maunga teitei<br />
Seek the treasures of your heart, if you bow,<br />
let it be to a lofty mountain<br />
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tatou katoa. Nau mai,<br />
Haere Mai!<br />
After what has been a fantastic holiday break it is great to<br />
be back at kura and preparing for what will be a rewarding<br />
year ahead. The year began with a hiss and a roar and<br />
unfortunately COVID-19 is still prevalent in our daily lives.<br />
There is a lot of discussion on social media about the<br />
implications of COVID-19 restrictions on ākonga at kura.<br />
Haeata’s focus is always on keeping ākonga and kaimahi<br />
safe and so we will be requiring everyone to wear a mask<br />
in line with the Ministry of Health advice. There will be<br />
times in the day and zones around the kura where mask<br />
wearing will not be quite so intrusive. It is our hope that we<br />
can manage this very challenging time positively together<br />
through our “Mask Up” strategy.<br />
Whaowhia te kete mātauranga<br />
Fill the basket of knowledge<br />
It was a beautiful experience meeting our new whānau<br />
and ākonga on Orientation Day. A warm welcome to our<br />
new kaimahi/staff and our new ākonga and whānau all of<br />
whom join us this year with a real sense of excitement.<br />
We are so pleased to call you whānau.<br />
After two years of a careful reset we are about to restart.<br />
Just what does that mean for us as a kura? It means that<br />
we acknowledge that initially Haeata has some teething<br />
problems as we found our way as a newly established<br />
Urban Area School after a decade of earthquake and<br />
social disruption. It means that for the past two<br />
years we have reviewed, revised and consulted<br />
around the best approaches to learning for us<br />
as a 21st Century learning community. It means<br />
we now have a clear and articulated sense of<br />
direction. It means we did not ‘throw the baby<br />
out with the bathwater’ but instead ensured<br />
we kept the best, left the rest and focused on<br />
creating learning opportunities that build and<br />
strengthen both community and ākonga. It<br />
means we acknowledge that while we are a huge<br />
modern learning environment, we will ensure<br />
learning is relevant, personalised and focused on<br />
positive ākonga outcomes.<br />
Kāhore taku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitini<br />
We cannot succeed without the support of<br />
those around us<br />
Haeata Community Campus celebrated<br />
unprecedented success in NCEA in 2021 and I am so<br />
proud of both our ākonga and kaimahi who<br />
worked tirelessly throughout what was a most<br />
challenging year to ensure success for all!<br />
NCEA Level 1 - The 2021 pass rate increased<br />
by 25.8% from 2020. We had one student<br />
complete Level 2 in Year 11.<br />
NCEA Level 2 - The 2021 pass rate increased<br />
by <strong>10</strong>.2% from our 2020 results.<br />
NCEA Level 3 - The 2021 pass rate increased<br />
by 20.5% from our 2020 results. 78% of our<br />
ākonga leave us with Level 2 or above.<br />
University Entrance - The 2021 pass rate<br />
increased by <strong>10</strong>0% meaning we doubled the<br />
number of ākonga who met the requirements of UE, in<br />
2021. Two ākonga also gained a Takere scholarship to the<br />
University of Canterbury.<br />
Kua takoto te manuka<br />
The leaves of the manuka tree have been laid down<br />
The Canterbury District Health Board is partnering with<br />
Haeata to provide a ‘Walk In’ Vaccination Clinic on our<br />
campus. There is NO requirement to have your ākonga<br />
vaccinated, it is merely a service provided by fully trained<br />
and qualified Health Professionals that whānau may access<br />
if they wish to. The clinic will operate on Thursday <strong>10</strong>th<br />
and Friday 11th <strong>February</strong> <strong>2022</strong> from 9am – 4pm.<br />
Whānau are invited to access the service and will need<br />
to fill in a consent form for all ākonga being vaccinated.<br />
Consent Forms and information pamphlets can be uplifted<br />
from Reception.<br />
Ki te kahore he whakakitenga ka ngaro te iwi<br />
Without foresight or vision the people will be lost<br />
As always, I want you to know what a privilege<br />
it is to lead this fine kura. It is our goal to ensure<br />
that we are the kura of first choice in Aranui and<br />
that our community has faith in us to deliver.<br />
We welcome your feedback and look forward<br />
to seeing you over the course of the year as we<br />
celebrate your ākonga’s learning journey.<br />

Thursday <strong>February</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>2022</strong> 9<br />
is moving<br />
into the heart of new Brighton<br />
ITstuffed is a growing IT company with<br />
its roots in New Brighton.<br />
With the support and trust of the<br />
community they managed to grow, from<br />
a one-man band to a team that is sought<br />
after by their clients.<br />
Moving into their new office space<br />
ITstuffed will be able to provide drop off<br />
services to their residential client base.<br />
This includes fixing slow computers,<br />
broken screens and any other<br />
complication you would normally come<br />
across at home. They will keep providing<br />
their mobile service for any issues that<br />
are related to the home, such as WiFi or<br />
internet issues.<br />
ITstuffed also serves business clients<br />
as cyber security consultants and a<br />
managed service provider (MSP).<br />
Daniel Lechner-Page, managing<br />
director, shared: “One of the biggest<br />
advantages for us will be that we can<br />
invite our clients to visit us for sensitive<br />
meetings. Also, if we get urgent jobs<br />
and a client wants to wait, being right<br />
next to The Burger Joint and Switch New<br />
Brighton, gives them something to do.”<br />
And to the question “Why New<br />
Brighton?”, Daniel said, “There are two<br />
reasons. Firstly, New Brighton is home,<br />
it’s where my son goes to preschool,<br />
where friends live and work. Secondly,<br />
I believe New Brighton will return to<br />
the glorious days from the 80s. I want<br />
ITstuffed to be part and a driver of this<br />
change.”<br />
ITstuffed will open at 5/78 Brighton<br />
Mall (also known as Carnaby Lane) on<br />
Monday 14 <strong>February</strong> <strong>2022</strong>. They will be<br />
available from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.<br />

When your brand includes the top Harcourts<br />
office out of 900 around the world in addition<br />
to the top franchise in the South Island 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<br />
of the top fifteen real estate sales consultants at<br />
Harcourts gold is truly a remarkable achievement.<br />
They are phenomenally good at what they do;<br />
skilled, highly trained and dedicated to delivering<br />
exceptional results for property owners. I am<br />
extremely proud to work with these real estate<br />
professionals.<br />

<strong>2022</strong> | MARKET INSIGHTS<br />
The question that we all want answered for <strong>2022</strong> - where is the<br />
property market heading? On 1 st December 2021, we saw<br />
changes to The Government’s Credit Contracts and Consumer<br />
Finance Act (CCCFA), having a major impact on our first<br />
homebuyers, now requiring a minimum deposit of 20% on any<br />
property purchase.<br />
After two months of continuing on with marketing campaigns &<br />
auctions, we are still finding that buyers have the fear of missing<br />
out in this current market. The buyers that we are seeing<br />
through open homes now are genuine buyers, with preapprovals<br />
ready to buy and determination get a foot-hold on the<br />
property ladder.<br />
Desirable locations such as our Coastal Suburbs are forever in<br />
hot demand across a range of buyers. We have seen record<br />
prices take place over the past 18 months and we see prices<br />
being stable moving forward.<br />
Heading into the winter months, there will be a limitation of<br />
HOMES for sale which will increase the demand. To take full<br />
advantage of these opportunities, talk to your coastal HOME<br />
specialist today!<br />

ANOTHER HOME SOLD<br />
45 SURFERS PLACE | NORTH NEW BRIGHTON<br />
#WE CARE YOU MATTER<br />
The HOME at 45 Surfers Place was an instant hit<br />
online, reaching over 12,837 potential buyers wanting<br />
to set down roots in the popular suburb of North New<br />
Brighton.<br />
We had 32 groups through the doors at open homes<br />
and enquiries coming through thick and fast! Using a<br />
new method of online bidding meant our vendors<br />
could sit back and watch the offers roll in as the<br />
deadline drew to a close, leaving them thrilled with the<br />
end result at $320,000 above GV.<br />
As you have seen over the years we have sold a lot of<br />
homes, and we are especially passionate about the<br />
coastal area. We can highlight the benefit of living on<br />
the East side better than any other company.<br />
Whether it be to use your existing home as leverage to<br />
complete the renovation you have dreamed of,<br />
purchase an investment or holiday home, or merely<br />
know what you’re sitting on for your retirement.<br />
Whatever your plans are, we are here to help you on<br />
your journey whenever you may need us. For friendly,<br />
genuine advice, contact a HOME specialist today.<br />
169 SOLEARES AVENUE | MT PLEASANT<br />
YOUR HOME ON THE HILL<br />

Avenue, on a north-facing section offering a vista of city & sea<br />
