ZACH TUCKER has accelerated
past another career goal, with the
talented Medbury School kart
racer winning overseas at the first
attempt.
The 11-year-old kept his nerve
after being overtaken late in final
of his cadet 12 class at the City
of Melbourne Titles on Sunday,
coolly executing a passing manoeuvre
as the chequered flag
loomed at the end of 17 hotlycontested
laps.
Zach, who represents New
Zealand at October’s ROK
Superfinal in Italy, qualified in
pole position at the culmination
of two days of racing in his
36-strong division.
“There was lots of pressure. I
led all the way until the third to
last corner but I passed him back
on the hair pin with one corner to
go,” he said.
“I’m very proud of our team
and I really appreciate all the
messages of support from friends
and family,” he said.
Zach qualified to race in Italy
after defending his Vortex Mini
ROK national title in Wellington
in June.
Before racing overseas for
the first time, Tucker also secured
his first national schools title
in Invercargill, claiming the
Vortex Mini ROX crown last
month.
Zach’s coach Matt Hamilton
was convinced he was destined
to achieve his long-term goal of
emulating Shane van Gisbergen
and driving across the Tasman in
the Supercars Championship.
“I’ve no doubt Zach has what
it takes to succeed. Over the past
three seasons he’s been almost
unbeatable.”

Australian title for karter Zach
QUICK LEARNER: Talented kart racer Zach Tucker made a smooth transition to
Australian circuits, winning his class at the City of Melbourne Titles last weekend.
Message
in a bottle
found
inside war
memorial
A HAND-written note listing
the names of the original
stonemasons who worked on the
Citizens’ War Memorial has been
found inside the monument’s
concrete core.
The 85-year-old note was tightly
rolled-up inside a glass bottle that
was found when the memorial was
being deconstructed.
The memorial has been restored
and relocated to a new spot in
Cathedral Square, near where the
police kiosk used to be.
“It was a fluke discovery,” city
council head of vertical capital
delivery Brent Smith said.
“The contractor was working on
dismantling the concrete core of
the memorial when a big chunk of
concrete broke off, revealing the
glass bottle.
“If the concrete had not broken
in that exact spot, we would never
have found it.”
The glass bottle was handedover
to a team of conservators
from Canterbury Museum who
delicately drilled through the
bottle’s glass stopper to reach the
note inside.
However, the neck of the bottle
was too narrow and the note too
fragile because some moisture had
seeped in.
They had to wait several weeks
for the rolled-up piece of paper
to dry out before they could have
another go at extracting it.

The new housing complex will include a mix of mostly two-storey one, two, three, four and five-bedroom units. A communal garden and play area and
plenty of recreational green space will also feature in the new redevelopment.
Old houses make way for new homes
CONSTRUCTION is beginning
this month on a new Kāinga
Ora housing redevelopment in
Bryndwr.
Kāinga Ora Homes and
Communities (formerly known
as Housing New Zealand) is
building 34 new dry, warm
homes for people in need on the
empty 8124 sq m block of land
bordered by Clyde and Aorangi
Rds and Bevin Pl.
There will be a mix of
mostly two-storey one to five
bedroom units in the complex,
a communal garden and play
area and plenty of recreational
green space. Miles Construction
is undertaking the work, which
is expected to be completed in
stages before the end of 2023.
Liz Krause, Kāinga Ora
regional director Canterbury,
says there is an urgent need
for more warm, dry homes in
Christchurch. The new homes
will be built on Kāinga Ora land
earmarked for redevelopment
after the 2010-11 Canterbury
earthquakes.
“Many of our homes in this
area are more than 50 years old
and were built at a time when
the quarter acre section was the
norm. One of the ways we’re
addressing the housing shortage
is by making better use of the
land we already own. We’re
demolishing outdated homes
and replacing them with more
modern homes on the same
land.
“Building on this site will
enable us to provide more homes
for people and their whānau in
an area of the city that has good
access to transport, schools,
shops and recreational facilities,”
Krause said.
Eight older existing houses
that were already on the land
were demolished last year to
make way for the development.
A new road that links Clyde
Rd to Aorangi Rd and new
footpaths have already been
created as part of stage one of the
project. Wastewater pipes have
also been laid.
Plans for the new complex
were shared with the
community in November
2020 and Kāinga Ora will
continue to keep in touch with
neighbours and the wider
community as construction
progresses.
The redevelopment is one of
many planned for Bryndwr and
Burnside. Over the next few
years, Kāinga Ora is expected to
build up to 113 new units across
14 sites in the two suburbs. These
will replace around 39 older
units.

When we decided to sell, Cameron was the logical choice to help us. From our
first discussion we knew he was the right person, a clear sales strategy and
focus gave us huge confidence.
Whilst our expectations on auction day were high, the result Cameron
achieved for us blew us away..... far beyond what we could have ever hoped.
We unreservedly recommend using Cameron to sell your property.

Discovery a reminder of rich history
• From page 1
When the note was finally unfurled
it was clear some of it had
disintegrated, but the handwritten
names of five stonemasons
who worked on the memorial
were still visible.
The date the note was written
- February 1937 – was also
visible.
“The note is a bit worse for
wear but it is an amazing link to
the past that could easily have
laid undiscovered,” Smith said.
“I think what this note shows
is that the original stonemasons
were very proud of being part
of building this memorial to the
men and women who lost their
lives in World War 1 and they
wanted their role in the project
to be remembered.
“I am delighted that 85 years
on we have recovered the note
they hid and can publicly acknowledge
them for their skilled
workmanship and the part they
played in creating this cherished
memorial,” Smith said.
For the team of stonemasons
working on the restoration and
relocation of the memorial, the
discovery was special.
“This discovery is a reminder
of the rich history and tradition
we’re helping to preserve,” said
Goldfield Stone stonemason
Regan Shanks.
The city council aims to reveal
the restored memorial in its new
location in time for Armistice
Day commemorations.
DISCOVERY: The bottle containing the small
hand-written note was found inside the Citizens’
War Memorial.

The Elmwood retains

THE ELMWOOD has claimed
Hospitality New Zealand’s 2022

last year.
In a career that has spanned
four decades, stalwart hoteliers
Marty and Naomi Fuller are

They took over The Elmwood

Trevinos, The Craic Irish Bar,
Trader McKendry’s, The Bog,
Vines Wine Bar, Sneakers Sports
Cafe, The Bard on Avon, Grapes

well as hospitality businesses in

“We are very grateful to have
been judged the Best Local in
New Zealand again for 2022 at
the Hospitality New Zealand
Awards for Excellence,” Marty
said.
“This is recognition of our awesome
team, who have been nothing
short of amazing over the
past year, and the fantastic loyal
locals who make the Elmwood

“We also picked up New
Zealand’s Excellence in Gaming
award, which was a real bonus
and a real thrill for us too.
What this means to us is that
it’s a reflection of the hard
work that we’ve put in, it’s a
reflection of what wonderful,
wonderful staff we’ve got, and
also what a great bunch of locals
we’ve got,’’ Marty said.

Leaders in Learning
Kia ora whānau
Ka whati te tī, ka wana te tī, ka rito te tī
When ti kōuka is tested by the elements,
it builds inner strength, then begins to grow again
Ti kōuka, the historical stand of cabbage
trees on our school grounds, symbolises
how we can manage in these testing times.
No matter what is thrown at these trees,
whether by nature or human activity, they
endure because they are strong, confident,
and remarkably resilient. They hold fast,
bending instead of breaking, then adapt and
grow stronger. We can do the same: face
challenges head on, cope in the short term,
overcome, grow stronger together. This is our mantra in 2022.
It is great to be back together onsite in Term 3 and long may that
continue! I am confident that we will deal with whatever happens;
and assure our community that every effort will be made to recover
lost time and teaching opportunities. With Orange Setting health
protocols still in place, and for the health and safety of our staff and
students, it is important to maintain mask-wearing. In Term 2, our
students respected our requirement to wear a mask indoors to help
protect themselves and others. Please reinforce our expectation
that masks be worn inside the buildings.
Rebuilding our Culture
I appreciate that the disrupted nature of the first two terms, with
extended periods of home learning due to isolation and staff
illness, is unsettling, creates uncertainty and anxiety, and affects
motivation. Despite all the difficulties, Term 2 was busy and
successful and I acknowledge students and staff for their hard work
and commitment. I am proud of how everyone has responded and
adjusted. Thank you to everyone in our school community for your
ongoing support and your genuine desire to do what is best for our
students.
Our school vision is ‘personal excellence and care for others’. We
aim to provide an environment which is positive, supportive and
inclusive, and a safe, friendly atmosphere with high standards
and high expectations of both staff and students. The BHS
Values of Manaakitanga – Be Respectful, Mana – Have Pride and
Rangatiratanga – Strive to Excel provide the framework in which
everyone in our school community thinks, acts, and feels about
ourselves and others. The one thing we can control is our attitude.
I like to approach things positively, trusting that things will work
out well. Living the BHS values, and doing the best we can no
matter what, helps us face challenges head on.
Let’s continue working together to make 2022
a successful year.

A strong team of eight swimmers attended the NZ Secondary

finals and ultimately medals.
We hoped for no disqualifications or sickness but unfortunately
our team experienced all of these factors over the four days of
competition.
At the pool by 7am for a warm up and home around 9pm made for
very long days.
Our relay teams performed exceptionally well especially when you
consider many were open class. With 360 relay teams entered in this

“But, as year 13 students at

“This is such an important
issue for us as young men that we
are willing to take a leap outside
our comfort zone. We hope that
everyone will get behind us and

Students win with Cookie Time ‘product’
• By Emily Moorhouse
A CASHMERE High School
student was part of the winning
team for a business challenge,
with their pitch for a healthy
alternative to energy drinks.
Archie MacDonald, 17, took
part in BizVenture Japan, a
48-hour business challenge that
saw students from around New
Zealand and Japan plan and
pitch a business product to a
panel of judges.
This year the business pitch
was centred around Cookie
Time, which has operations in
Japan.
The students were put into
teams and given 48 hours to
address one of two real-world
briefs.
The first focused on a new
product for Cookie Time to
introduce into its Japanese
market, supported by a threeyear
marketing plan.
The second focused on a new
market opportunity for Cookie
Time to introduce into its
existing product range.
MacDonald was the only South
Islander in his team and said
it was exciting to get out of his
comfort zone and take the win.
While he admitted it was
“pretty weird” working so closely
with people he had just met,
it wasn’t long before the team
found common interests and got
along well.
“Naturally there are some
nerves involved for sure, but we
all worked together and all had
different strengths as well,” he
said.
MacDonald was in charge of
financial aspects, which he said
was a challenge as he had never
launched a food product or been
to Japan before.
In spite of this, MacDonald’s
team won the competition with
their idea of Enerugi Cookies
and Sweet Enerugi Senbei
(Japanese rice cakes), combined
with matcha powder.
“Over in Japan there’s a lot
of energy products consumed
everyday . . . so if we could put
that into a Cookie Time cookie,
that’s a more family friendly
option,” MacDonald said.
“Including the energy aspect
into a senbei we thought was a
pretty cool way of linking both
the business and our product to
the Japanese culture.”
MacDonald said the “bragging
rights” and excitement of
winning was “pretty awesome”,
and is hoping to get into the
world of business when he leaves
high school at the end of the
year.
“Having the experience I’ve
got over the last couple of years
is definitely something I’ll be
looking at following in the
future,” he said.

Add some zing to your roast beef
A spicy marinade is
a good way to add
something different
to a traditional meal
Whisky marinade for beef
Serves 3-4
Ingredients
1 cup chopped pitted dates
¼ cup orange juice
1 cup peeled and diced orange
3 cups self-raising flour
¼ tsp salt
50gm chilled butter, chopped
1½ cups milk, warmed
2 tbsp cane sugar
Ingredients
Directions
¼ cup whisky
2 tbsp prepared mustard
3-4 tbsp olive oil
400g beef fillet
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup beef stock
1 tbsp thyme leaves
Directions
Whisk whisky, mustard and 3
tbsp of olive oil until well combined.
Place beef in a plastic bag.
Add marinade. Refrigerate for
60min. Return to room temperature
before cooking.
Preheat grill on high. Remove
meat from marinade and pat dry.
Brush with remaining oil. Season
with black pepper.
Grill for about 8min each side.
To test if done, press thickest part
of meat with your fingertip. The
softer it is the rarer it is; the firmer
it is, the more cooked. Tent with
foil and cover with a thick towel.
Rest for 10min before slicing.
Bring marinade, stock and
thyme to the boil. Simmer for
10min. Serve with the meat.
Roasted tomato, butter
bean, and watercress
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 tsp salt
8 tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp brown sugar
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 freshly ground black pepper,
to season
1½ cups butter beans
4 handfuls watercress,
100gm almonds, roasted and
salted
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh herbs, such as parsley,
oregano, marjoram, finely
chopped
1 cup creme fraiche
Directions
Preheat the oven to 220 deg C.
Arrange the tomatoes in a dish.
Drizzle over the oil, sprinkle
the salt, pepper and brown sugar.
Finely slice the garlic and add
with the rosemary.
Bake for 20min then let cool.
Combine the butter beans
with the watercress. Arrange
on a platter or individual dishes
then add the tomatoes and the
almonds.
Mix together the creme
fraiche, lemon juice and herbs.
Spoon over the salad before
serving.
Date and orange scones
Serves 6 to 8
Heat oven to 210 deg C. Line a
baking tray with baking paper.
In a bowl, combine the
chopped dates with the orange
juice and cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave for 1-2 minutes, until
the dates absorb the orange juice.
Add the diced orange.
Sift the flour and salt into a
bowl. Rub in the butter until the
mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the warm milk to the
date and orange mixture, stir to
combine then mix quickly into
the flour with a spatula. Do not
knead.
Turn out on to a floured bench.
Dust the top with flour and pat
out to an even rectangle about
2.5cm thick with your hands.
Cut the mixture into squares
or rounds. Place the scones on
the prepared tray.
Sprinkle with the sugar. Bake
for about 20min.

ADVERTORIAL
Water and environment key
issues for new candidate
Avonhead resident Dr Laly Samuel will be
standing as an independent in the upcoming
local body elections, vying for a seat on the
Christchurch City Council for the Waimairi ward
and one of two seats on the Community Board for
the Waimairi/Fendalton/Harewood Ward .
An academic and scientist, Dr Samuel has
gained extensive international experience and
recognition, with awards including the Garshom
International Award she received in Norway in
2019. She was also named as one of the finalists
in the Women of Influence Award – International
category New Zealand in 2015.
Originally from India, Dr Samuel moved to
New Zealand with her husband and two children
in 2002. Prior to that they lived in Japan for 11
years, where Dr Samuel worked as a scientist and
undertook post-doctoral study.
After three years in Wellington, during which
Dr Samuel was a team leader at the Measurements
Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSL)
under the Crown Research Institute, Industrial
Research Ltd , she moved to Christchurch where
she continued her job with MSL under Callaghan
Innovation, a role she held until 2016, before
deciding to take a break from her professional life.
Always part of her busy schedule, community
work now has an even stronger focus for Dr
Samuel. This involves assisting Indian immigrants
to settle into New Zealand life. She is active in her
local church, St Christopher’s, and along with her
husband helps the Kerala community group with
personal and cultural matters.
She is also a member of the Christchurch
Multicultural Council and the Christchurch
International Group.
With her scientific and management
background, her experience with ethnic
communities, as well as her commitment to
helping the community, Dr Samuel believes that
she will be a competent candidate.
If successful, her main focus will be on
removing chlorination from the city’s water,
with reducing the city’s carbon footprint also an
important issue for her. She supports the new
stadium but was disappointed that solar panels
were not included in the design.
“I am also against the 1.4 per cent annual rate
increase that Christchurch people will have to pay
to fund the stadium’s construction. I believe the
government should contribute more.”
The situation Bromley residents are dealing
with also concerns Dr Samuel.
“The odour and pollution being created is
affecting not just Bromley, but many parts of the
city, and the toxic particles can cause health issues.
“With my international scientific and
management experience, I believe I could
contribute a lot to council committees dealing
with issues like these, and many others.”
Her campaign strategy will include meeting
with people as she believes it is important to
interact with people and discuss their issues.
“I already know a significant number of people
in the Waimairi Ward, and I look forward to
meeting many more, and going on to represent
them after the election.”

Waiting

Have you ever gone past a line
of people and wondered what
exactly they were waiting for,
especially when the conditions
for waiting were uncomfortable?
It was either unbearably hot or inclement,
yet the line continued to grow, confirming
the belief that some things are worth
waiting for.
There’s a psychology to waiting and
it’s been studied as part of business
management and client services, with
some of the most significant findings
coming from Harvard Business School
professor David Maister.
I’m interested in his studies because one
of the most common statements I’m
hearing in the current market is “we’re
waiting” … for the right home, right
time, right price, the right circumstances.
Everything has to be perfect and yet the
chances of perfection, I’ve learnt from
experience, are rare and that wait can
become an infinite one.
Waiting is one of the most dominant of
human frustrations, so it makes sense
to identify what makes the wait more
acceptable.
Here are some of his findings:
1) The more valuable the service, the
longer you’ll wait.
An easy example of this is that people
will wait longer for a doctor to attend to
them than they would a shop assistant,
perceiving the doctor’s service to be
more valuable and deeply integral to their
wellbeing.
Equally, in real estate clients will wait for
the right consultant to manage their
property needs in the knowledge that
this could give them an advantage by
reaching more buyers, having their price
expectations upheld through superior
negotiation skills and giving their
properties a better profile. There’s literally
a ‘waiting list’ of clients for consultants of
this calibre, and it makes sense to want to
work with them.
Some factors make waiting feel even
longer and this realization gives the
service industries – and real estate is
one of these – a chance to rectify this
inconvenience.
2) Uncertain waits are longer than
quantified ones.
Someone who knows that their wish
list home is coming to the market in
approximately one month’s time is more
likely to wait knowing this is definitely
happening versus never having an actual
timeframe communicated to them. The
lesson here is consistent communication
by an agent to keep in touch with their
clients around timeframes – and for
those clients wanting to be notified to
show loyalty and commitment to that
consultant. It’s a two-way street with
significant benefits to both parties.
Here’s a final ‘waiting’ scenario that also
gets played out regularly and affects most
of us:
3) Unfair waits are longer, much longer
than equitable ones. Here’s the scenario.
You’re waiting to be attended to and the
service you receive (or hope to receive) is
interrupted by someone’s phone call. The
sense of unfairness this engenders can
make the wait intolerable and I wonder
how much business is lost chasing the call
over helping the actual person standing
in front of you. I personally struggle with
this the most and will usually move on if I
find myself in this situation.
So, what are you waiting for? What lines
are you physically or figuratively standing
in? I’m currently waiting for spring; I’m
waiting for a full office without the burden
of excessive illness. I’m not waiting for the
market to change greatly for some time,
but I am working with the awareness that
it will, as they always do. So you’re aware
of the most recent market statistics, I can
tell you that 491 properties sold in June,
averaging 33 days on the market and for
an average price of $700,000.
If you’re waiting for that right time, place
or home, know that it’s out there and the
right person will guide you to it.

10 Fun Things to do on a Rainy Day
Blog the Bucket List Journey by Annette
White, has some fantastic weird, wild and
fun ideas to pass the time on the rainy
days, of which we have had many here
in Christchurch! Here are my top ten
favourite ideas.
1. Have an Indoor Picnic
Picnics aren’t just for the outdoors—clear
a space on your living room floor and
recreate a memorable dining experience.
You can even pack a traditional wicker
basket with your favourite picnic foods
and enjoy the feast without going too far.
OPC Law Mystery
Shoppers
2. Have a Spa Day
It’s entirely up to you whether you invest
in a treatment at a high-end spa or create
your own at home. In any case, a self-care
day will leave you feeling completely
revitalized.
3. Write a Thank You Note to Someone
Who Deserves It
So often people want to tell a company
or friend how they feel when they are
not satisfied, instead write a thank you
to show your appreciation for a job well
done.
4. Research your Family Tree
It’s getting easier to find out your roots,
so spark up an interest in genealogy and
start researching your family tree. You
can start your search at My Heritage who
offers a 14-day free trial or Ancestry.com
who gives you a free starter account.
5. Learn to Use Chopsticks
Not very many adults know how to do
this and even fewer kids can comfortably
use chopsticks. Do you want to seem
sophisticated and well-cultured, then
learn how to use chopsticks. You can
impress your friends when you are all out
for sushi.
6. Try to Meditate
Meditation is much more than sitting in
a lotus position chanting “om” over and
over again—it is a way of life. Clearing
your mind through meditation has many
benefits, like lowering blood pressure
and anxiety levels. Plus, it can give you a
brighter outlook on life!
7. Learn a New Language
You can learn a new skill at any age, so
why not learn a new language? It can be
a fun and interactive experience for the
whole family. Perhaps you can learn the
language of a dream destination where
you hope to go on a vacation someday?
Duolingo is a great program to get you
started.

The Office of the Privacy
Commissioner (OPC) has
now begun the process of
using mystery shoppers in the
private rental sector to monitor
property managers and their
activities. The process began in
March 2022, and the OPC are
now checking on how property
management organisations are
operating within the private
sector. Effectively, using
mystery shoppers, the OPC
is checking whether property
managers are asking for the right
information, at the right time, in
line with the privacy principles
defined in the Privacy Act 2020.
While the report I have read
talks specifically on their audit
on property management
companies, it seems likely that
they will also be calling private
landlords who are advertising
their own properties as well.
The OPC has the right – if
landlords or property managers
are found to be in breach of the
Privacy Act – to issue warning
letters, access directions,
compliance notices, referral
to the Human Rights Review
Tribunal, publicly naming
a company, or making
a complaint to the Privacy
Commissioner.
Do you know and understand
what you can and cannot ask a
potential tenant and at what stage
you can ask them? Did you know
you are no longer authorised to
request all the information at
once, it is instead a process with
several steps involved?
If you don’t it is certainly worth
doing the research as the penalty
for failure to comply with a
Compliance Notice is a fine up to
$10,000.
