HAPPY AS: Skye Trist is all<br />
smiles after powering her way<br />
(inset) to the ski race title at<br />
the Canterbury surf life saving<br />
championships over the<br />
weekend.<br />
POWER: Dylan Monk (below)<br />
also impressed in the ski<br />
races for South Brighton,<br />
winning the under-17 event<br />
and finishing second in the<br />
under-19 race.<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
SOUTH BRIGHTON have the<br />
upper hand in the Canterbury<br />
surf life saving championships,<br />
which had to be postponed halfway<br />
through at the weekend due to a<br />
shark sighting.<br />
The club was leading and 114<br />
points ahead of Taylors Mistake<br />
(77), and Sumner (25) when the<br />
shark forced everyone from the<br />
water at Waimairi beach.<br />
The competition will resume on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 24 with the canoe racing<br />
programme, while the remaining<br />
events will take place on March 5.<br />
Skye Trist was a standout for<br />
South Brighton in the under-17 age<br />
group, winning the ski, surf, and<br />
board races. She also participated<br />
in the beach sprints and two relay<br />
teams.<br />
Dylan Monk was impressive<br />
in the ski events, winning the<br />
under-17 ski race, and finishing<br />
second in the under-19 event. He<br />
was also third in the under-17<br />
board race.<br />
South Brighton saw plenty of<br />
success in the under-15 age group,<br />
with Eden Sheppard winning the<br />
girls’ surf and board races, while<br />
Tyler Lodge won the boys’ surf race,<br />
was second in the board race, and<br />
third in the beach sprints. He was<br />
also part of the winning under-17<br />
relay team.<br />
South Brighton impressed during<br />
the relay events, winning five of<br />
six races in the hot conditions. The<br />
club also dominated the open beach<br />
sprints, making up the top three in<br />
both the women and men’s events.<br />
Host Waimairi currently sit<br />
fifth on eight points, with North<br />
Beach one point behind after Izzy<br />
McCone’s win in the under-15<br />
beach sprints. New Brighton are<br />
ninth on just one point.<br />
Beach flags, board rescue,<br />
taplin and board relays, and other<br />
events will be contested when the<br />
competition continues on March 5.<br />

Growing the urban forest<br />
A FUTURE focused plan<br />
outlining how Christchurch can<br />
grow its urban forest has been<br />
released for public feedback.<br />
The Ōtautahi-Christchurch<br />
Draft Urban Forest Plan <strong>2023</strong><br />
sets out how to grow the tree<br />
canopy and sustain a thriving<br />
urban forest with healthy,<br />
diverse and resilient trees located<br />
on both public and private land.<br />
The latest survey results<br />
show had the city’s tree canopy<br />
had reduced from 15% to 13%<br />
between 2015-2019.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge: “Our current<br />
Andrew<br />
Rutledge<br />
urban forest<br />
is not spread<br />
across our<br />
communities<br />
equally, with<br />
some suburbs<br />
having more<br />
trees than<br />
others. We want<br />
to prioritise<br />
neighbourhoods<br />
which are lacking trees to ensure<br />
equitable tree coverage for all<br />
communities.<br />
“We want to grow our urban<br />
forest as quickly and sustainably<br />
as possible. Currently we plant<br />
approximately 400 trees in our<br />
parks per year of which 50 per<br />
cent are new and 50 per cent are<br />
replacing trees we have removed.<br />
“This coming planting season<br />
we’ll be planting about 2500<br />
additional trees. This number<br />
will steadily increase over<br />
coming years towards a goal of<br />
8000 trees per year. As part of<br />
this we’ll be looking at how we<br />
can balance the needs of our<br />
community, when using our<br />
parks, with prioritising growing<br />
our urban forest.”<br />
Actions to protect trees on<br />
private land have also been<br />
identified in the plan.<br />
“There is currently limited<br />
mechanisms to protect trees<br />
on private land. Growing and<br />
nurturing our urban forest will<br />
require continued support from<br />
a mix of sources, including<br />
developers, property and<br />
business owners,” said Rutledge.<br />
“As a council we’ll also be<br />
investigating ways we can<br />
incentivise and support private<br />
land owners to retain and plant<br />
more trees”.<br />
Feedback on the plan ends on<br />
March 6. Go to the city council<br />
website for more details.<br />
Sister city<br />
group visits<br />
from Seattle<br />
REPRESENTATIVES from<br />
Christchurch’s sister city, Seattle,<br />
have been welcomed by the mayor.<br />
The relationship between the<br />
two city’s stretches back 42 years<br />
but it has been 11 years since an<br />
official group last visited from<br />
Seattle.<br />
The city on the west coast of the<br />
United States in Washington has a<br />
population of about 740,000. The<br />
14-strong contingent was formally<br />
welcomed by Mayor Phil Mauger<br />
during the city council meeting.<br />
The last sister city visit from<br />
Seattle was in 2012 after the<br />
Christchurch earthquakes. The<br />
people of Seattle donated an<br />
ambulance to St John to help with<br />
the city’s recovery.<br />
The group includes members of<br />
the Seattle City Council and the<br />
Seattle-Christchurch Sister City<br />
Association. For the first time a<br />
First Nations tribal representative<br />
is also visiting on behalf of a tribal<br />
group from the Seattle area.<br />
A member of the group, Seattle<br />
councillor Sara Nelson, has a<br />
special connection to the city.<br />
She spent her honeymoon here<br />
in 2002, and says the two cities<br />
have a lot in common. “We both<br />
live on subduction zones and the<br />
city of Seattle benefitted greatly<br />
from the learnings following<br />
your earthquakes and how you’ve<br />
rebuilt your city and become more<br />
resilient from it,” Nelson said.<br />

When is the best<br />
time to sell?<br />
I've met lots of homeowners who have used<br />
the holiday period to ponder their options<br />
for selling. A question I frequently get asked<br />
is: "When is the best time to sell?<br />
Selling a house is a big decision and timing<br />
is a big factor in your ultimate result. If<br />
you're planning to make a move in <strong>2023</strong>,<br />
here's a few points to consider:<br />
Get ahead of the curve<br />
Peak listing months are March to April and<br />
November to December, so it pays to get<br />
your home on the market ahead of these<br />
busy listing months. When buyers have<br />
more choice, they take longer to make a<br />
decision and feel they can negotiate harder.<br />
Selling ahead of the listing peak also puts<br />
you in a cash position to take advantage of<br />
the influx of new listings.<br />
Don't rule out selling in winter<br />
Many owners hold of from marketing during<br />
winter. But it can work in your favour due to<br />
the simple rules of supply and demand. If<br />
your home is warm and well-presented, you<br />
can still secure a great result. Just make<br />
sure to create a cozy atmosphere.<br />
Avoid long weekends<br />
Your first weekend of open homes can be<br />
Caleb Griffioen<br />
caleb.harcourts.co.nz<br />
make-or-break, so it pays to avoid listing<br />
your home heading into a long weekend, when<br />
people are likely to head out of town.<br />
Think about the upcoming election<br />
With election day set for 14 October, a number<br />
of buyers will sit on the sidelines (or the<br />
backbenches) until they know who forms the<br />
next government. This will be a particularly<br />
important factor for investment properties.<br />
Think about the upcoming election<br />
Most importantly, the best time to sell your<br />
house is when it works for you and your family.<br />
If you're ready to move on, don't wait for the<br />
perfect moment.<br />
Timing is key in selling your home, just like in<br />
cooking a meal. Plan and prepare, and you'll<br />
be able to sell your home quickly.<br />
The right time is when it works for you<br />
It's ok to put your own needs first. Ultimately,<br />
the best time to sell is when you are ready to<br />
make the move. So if you've just spent months<br />
de-cluttering, gardening and sprucing up your<br />
home - now's probably the best time!<br />
Considering a move?<br />
It's my job to help people make informed<br />
decisions for the future. I'm just a call or text<br />
message away!<br />

Big crowd discover<br />
Thousands of people descended on Thomson Park for the Love Brighton<br />
festival on Waitangi Day. The water activities and ice cream stalls were<br />
popular as the temperature soared past 30 deg C. But plenty of other<br />
activities kept the crowd entertained. The highlights included a strong<br />
Kapa Haka performance from Rawhiti School pupils and performances<br />
from the Takumi Japanese Drumming Group, Shirley Boys’ High band<br />
Midnight Buzz, and Brighton’s own Natural Magic Ukulele Band. Community<br />
groups and clubs – including Coastal Spirit Football Club, Christchurch Circus<br />
Trust and Maunga Ātaahua Mountain Boarding – took the chance to showcase<br />
their offerings and recruit new members. All activities at the 12th Love<br />
Brighton were free and aimed to build community spirit, engagement and<br />
participation. •Kite Day, page 6<br />
CAUGHT: Zack and dad Brian Milk were clocked by the radar speed gun. The Lil Ice Trike was a popular spot as the temperature soared past 30 deg C.<br />
