Sparks performance<br />
a night to remember<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
VIOLINIST ARNA Morton<br />
has grown up with the Sparks<br />
concert – only this time<br />
around things looked a little<br />
different.<br />
Morton traded the view of<br />
the stage for the view of the<br />
audience as she performed<br />
with the Christchurch<br />
Symphony Orchestra at<br />
Saturday night’s Sparks in<br />
North Hagley Park.<br />
Although performing<br />
at Sparks was a firs time<br />
experience for Morton,<br />
she said the concert went<br />
rea ly we l and had a great<br />
atmosphere.<br />
“I was just so excited to be<br />
back performing together<br />
with the band,” she said.<br />
“Obviously last year we had<br />
a lot of disruptions so it was<br />
nice to have everyone get back<br />
into it.”<br />
Even after playing the<br />
violin since she was five, the<br />
coastal area resident said<br />
it was normal to sti l get<br />
nervous before a performance,<br />
especia ly for a large crowd.<br />
“There’s this heightened<br />
sense of adrenaline before<br />
you go on stage. I definitely<br />
still get nervous, which is<br />
important,” she said. “It’s<br />
about channe ling the energy<br />
required for a performance.”<br />

Bromley<br />
‘stench’<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
RESIDENTS LIVING near the<br />
Bromley wastewater treatment<br />
plant have been “coping with the<br />
stench” for weeks now and want<br />
something done to fix it.<br />
The wastewater treatment plant<br />
caught fire in November and has<br />
been emitting an unpleasant smell<br />
ever since, causing frustration<br />
among residents.<br />
Katinka Visser has lived in<br />
Bromley for 35 years, and said<br />
while the stench hasn’t been as<br />
bad during the new year for her,<br />
she sometimes felt as though she<br />
couldn’t breathe.<br />
“I’ve had three nights that I<br />
virtually couldn’t breathe, it was<br />
that bad, there’s like a fog and it’s<br />
just sitting.’’<br />
She said even after putting her<br />
head under the blankets, she<br />
could sti l smell the stench.<br />
Visser said because the wind<br />
has been coming from a southerly<br />
direction lately, she hasn’t been<br />
experiencing the sme l as strongly,<br />
but knows that residents close by<br />
do.<br />
“I’m so thankful that I’m not<br />
affected as much as most people,”<br />
she said.<br />
“There are people way, way<br />
worse off than me.”<br />

Money<br />
puts hand<br />
up for local<br />
elections<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
FORMER Coastal-Burwood<br />
chairwoman Kim Money has<br />
made a bid to return to local body<br />
politics, with plans to stand for<br />
council as an independent for the<br />
Coastal Ward.<br />
Celeste Donovan<br />
is the current<br />
Coastal Ward<br />
councillor and<br />
said it was always<br />
great for democracy<br />
when you<br />
had a choice.<br />
“It’s<br />
encouraging to hear another<br />
woman is standing and there will<br />
be others putting up a hand closer<br />
to the election date,” Donovan<br />
said.<br />
Money was the board’s<br />
chairwoman in 20<strong>16</strong>, but didn’t<br />
stand for re-election in 2019 due<br />
to personal circumstances.<br />
Now she says those<br />
circumstances have changed<br />
and the timing is right for her to<br />
throw her hat back in the arena.<br />
“I’m keen to get back again and<br />
represen this community that I<br />
love so much,” she said. “We rea ly<br />
do need that experience from the<br />
coast sitting a the council table<br />
and I would love to do that for my<br />
community.”<br />
Money said it had been<br />
unfortunate she couldn’t stand<br />
again in 2019 as there were a few<br />
unfinished things she needed to<br />
do. • Turn to page 4<br />

Jayne and I would like to thank you for the work you’ve done to get us where<br />
we are today. Bit of a blur really. Every step in the process has gone into<br />
achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and<br />
professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along<br />
with the marketing campaign all leading to a great property to present to<br />
the market. These aspects all set the scene perfectly for the open homes and<br />
visits leading to today’s outstanding auction result. Quiet night tonight but<br />
sure there will be a few celebratory drinks later in the week.<br />
