Daphne’s big day<br />
‘a royal occasion’<br />
BIG BIRTHDAY: Daphne Eva celebrates turning 100 with her son John – the birthday card from newly coronated<br />
King Charles and Queen Camilla a highlight.<br />
Daphne Eva arrived in<br />
New Zealand from Essex<br />
in 1970. And last week<br />
she received a surprise<br />
message from home – a<br />
card from King Charles<br />
and Camilla wishing her<br />
a happy birthday. Daphne<br />
turned 100 last week, an<br />
occasion celebrated at<br />
Radius St Helenas Rest<br />
Home in Barbadoes St<br />
where she lives. Office<br />
manager Ana Bastias said<br />
it was a royal occasion<br />
with high tea and two<br />
chocolate cakes, with her<br />
son John, other residents<br />
and staff all joining in with<br />
the celebration. “It was a<br />
great day, everyone had a<br />
fantastic time,” said Bastias.<br />
“She’s such a character.”<br />
Daphne was overjoyed<br />
by the card from the<br />
royals, and also the one<br />
she received from Prime<br />
Minister Chris Hipkins.<br />

Largest<br />
mother of<br />
a clean-up<br />
planned<br />
along<br />
waterways<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
SIXTY FIVE community groups<br />
will take part in Saturday’s<br />
Mother of All Clean Ups –<br />
making it the biggest yet.<br />
Hundreds of people will clean<br />
the Heathcote River, the Estuary,<br />
Lyttelton Harbour Basin and<br />
Avon River.<br />
The first annual<br />
clean-up in 2015<br />
involved only<br />
five community<br />
groups, Avon<br />
Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust manager<br />
Tanya Jenkins<br />
said.<br />
The trust was<br />
one of the project’s founders.<br />
Tanya<br />
Jenkins<br />
Jenkins said the groups will be<br />
allocated a waterway and then<br />
will encourage members to get<br />
involved.<br />
The Mt Pleasant Yacht Club<br />
and Ferrymead Rotary Club are<br />
among those taking part.<br />
“It’s all about encouraging<br />
community groups,” Jenkins said.<br />
While the total waste collected<br />
has trended downward from 10.5<br />
tonnes in 2016 to 2.6 tonnes in<br />
2021, the amount of rubbish in<br />
waterways remains an ongoing<br />
issue.<br />

Ballerina’s big dream a step closer<br />
• By Heidi Slade<br />
IZZY HOULT is heading to<br />
London in June to help make<br />
her dream of becoming a prima<br />
ballerina come true.<br />
The 15-year-old has been<br />
dancing since she was four.<br />
Now, <strong>11</strong> years later, she will<br />
attend the Rambert School of<br />
LONDON<br />
BOUND:<br />
Ballerina<br />
Izzy Hoult<br />
has been<br />
accepted into<br />
the Rambert<br />
School’s<br />
summer<br />
intensive.<br />
Its alumni<br />
include soloist<br />
Carolina<br />
Cortesi (below<br />
right).<br />

AMBER<br />
GRIFFEN<br />
Ballet and Contemporary Dance<br />
summer intensive, a programme<br />
that only accepts 30 dancers a<br />
year worldwide.<br />
Alumni include Sir Frederick<br />
Ashton CBE, founding choreographer<br />
of the Royal Ballet in<br />
London, and ballerina Carolina<br />
Cortesi.<br />
In March 2017, Cortesi was<br />
offered a two-year soloist<br />
contract with Plzen Ballet in the<br />
Czech Republic.<br />
The Rambert School summer<br />
class will help Izzy on her<br />
journey to becoming a prima<br />
ballerina – a ballerina who is first<br />
in their company and performs<br />
lead roles.<br />
“My favourite ballets are the<br />
classics, Romeo and Juliet, Swan<br />
Lake and Giselle. So to dance the<br />
lead roles in those ballets would<br />
be an honour,” she said.<br />
“I just want to keep improving,<br />
striving to push my boundaries<br />
and limits.”<br />
Izzy has been to a summer<br />
intensive at the Dutch<br />
National Academy of Ballet in<br />
Amsterdam, making this her<br />
second international trip.<br />
She dances at Anna Lee<br />
School of Dance for 30-35 hours<br />
each week and attends Te Kura<br />
correspondence school.<br />
Izzy’s mornings are dedicated<br />
to schoolwork, but she will dance<br />
from 1-8pm most days.<br />
“My studio is my home, my<br />
happy place,” she said.<br />
“I remember when I was six<br />
and was at my old studio in the<br />
Tai Tapu hall and early Saturday<br />
morning I would have rehearsal,<br />
it was so cold you could see my<br />
breath, but leg warmers and all,<br />
it felt like home, ballet is where I<br />
belong.”<br />
But getting to London will be<br />
no easy feat.<br />
Last Wednesday, Izzy’s family<br />
held a fundraising night, with<br />
members of the Little River<br />
community coming to hear<br />
guest speakers talk about their<br />
life experiences and challenges.<br />
At $35 per person, plus<br />
donations from those who<br />
couldn’t be at the fundraiser,<br />
Izzy and her family raised $1300<br />
for her trip and course fees.<br />
When she was about 12,<br />
Izzy knew she wanted to be a<br />
professional dancer.<br />
She looks up to world-class<br />
ballerinas like Marianela Nunez<br />
of the Royal Ballet.<br />
“She’s just incredible to<br />
watch.”<br />
Another idol is Gillian<br />
Murphy, whom Izzy admires for<br />
her skill – and partly because she<br />
is a fellow redhead.<br />
Izzy’s last competition was<br />
the Alana Hains Australasian<br />
Awards in Wellington.<br />
She placed 25th out of 200 in<br />
her category and was one of the<br />
youngest in the group.<br />
“Being onstage with the lights<br />
and costumes feels amazing and<br />
so rewarding,” she said.<br />
“Having the opportunity<br />
to share my love and passion<br />
with the audience makes all the<br />
training and hours of rehearsals<br />
in pointe shoes all worth it.”<br />

MARLEY, MAX<br />
And A PEnGUIn<br />
Marley<br />
The week started off with Marley, a sweet<br />
1 year old DSH that arrived from the<br />
after-hours clinic with an oblique right<br />
distal humeral fracture, no doubt a run in<br />
with a car. Marley didn’t seem to know he<br />
was in pain. He purred his way through<br />
the physical exam and blood testing,<br />
gobbled up his food and was a delight to<br />
care for.<br />
Marley’s owners adored him but their pet<br />
insurance hadn’t yet kicked in so surgical<br />
referral for a plate and screws was out<br />
of the question. Lucky for Marley, our<br />
new Veterinarian Jack, put his hand up<br />
to repair the fracture with pin and wire<br />
stabilisation. Surgery proceeded without<br />
a hitch and we were rapt with the<br />
post op radiographs. To date, Marley is<br />
doing really well, weight bearing on the<br />
operated leg, although going a little stir<br />
crazy with cage confinement. All going<br />
well, he’ll be watching the birds, climbing<br />
trees again in about 5 weeks time.<br />

Next up was Steve’s second cataract<br />
surgery on another Yellow Eyed Penguin<br />
from the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital.<br />
Steve’s becoming a bit of a gun with bird’s<br />
eyes. It’s a great learning experience for<br />
our team as well as birds have different<br />
requirements under anaesthesia. His first<br />
successful cataract on Mr Sandymount<br />
was a huge success, with his vision being<br />
excellent. Here is a close up of his eye<br />
looking fantastic post surgery.<br />
Max<br />
Lastly we diagnosed FIP ( Feline<br />
Infectious Peritonitis) in our own<br />
special 7 year old ginger “Maximus”.<br />
A real shock for us as FIP is relatively<br />
uncommon and affects usually<br />
younger, pedigree cats. Max didn’t<br />
fit the signalment. He was behaving<br />
weirdly - sleeping in the garage,<br />
growling at Atticus (and us) and then<br />
he completely stopped eating. He also<br />
had intermittent fevers. Max lives for his<br />
tucker so we knew this was serious. We<br />
carried out a series of testing including<br />
blood tests, abdominal ultrasounds,<br />
biopsies and then we got the dreaded<br />
diagnosis.<br />
Thanks to Covid there has been heaps<br />
of development with antiviral drugs and<br />
now we have a drug that can attempt to<br />
beat this usually incurable disease.<br />
We had to specially formulate<br />
Remdesivir for Max and order it in.<br />
72 hours after starting this impressive<br />
drug, Max was eating on his own,<br />
purring and for the first time in months,<br />
and attempting some interaction with<br />
Atticus. Plus he had moved back to<br />
sleeping with us.<br />
A total win.<br />
Maximus, our cat<br />
Vets pets really do get the weird nasty<br />
diseases…..but we are in the best<br />
position to help our furry friends.<br />

A Career Highlight on the Horizon<br />
As I write this article, I’m aware that in<br />
a very short time I’ll be participating in<br />
a lifetime career highlight. I’m excited<br />
and just a little nervous, but that’s<br />
appropriate whenever you approach<br />
significant events.<br />
I’m going to be presenting at a conference.<br />
Not unusual for me as I’ve done this on many<br />
occasions over my long tenure, but this time<br />
it’s different.<br />
It’s an international conference for our<br />
company’s brand and it’s taking place in<br />
South Africa, where I’ve learnt they have a<br />
strong presence.<br />
I will present on the main stage to a sellout<br />
audience on 17th <strong>May</strong> – and here’s my<br />
quandary:<br />
What to share with people whose experiences<br />
may be totally different at a cultural<br />
and business level? How do you create<br />
engagement so that their curiosity is piqued<br />
and how do you maintain that interest for the<br />
duration of the talk so that everyone derives<br />
some definite benefit despite my Kiwi accent<br />
potentially making hard work of things?<br />
In thinking about all of this, I’ve rationalized<br />
that the best place to start is with a process<br />
that I’ve used many times before – and it’s<br />
stood me in good stead whenever a high level<br />
of professionalism is required.<br />
Here’s my simple system.<br />
Resist procrastinating. It never helps to wait<br />
so long that you find yourself in a corner,<br />
desperately looking for inspiration and losing<br />
vital time for fine tuning and practicing. I’ve<br />
never been someone who digs themself into<br />
this particular hole. I prefer to start early and<br />
move incrementally. So, it’s essential I select<br />
a potential topic – and soon – amongst the<br />
numerous suggestions I’ve been given.<br />
The next step is always preparation and<br />
research.<br />
Sure, you’ve settled on a topic, but is what<br />
you have to say the latest information or<br />
interpretation of it? I think of this as currency.<br />
Currency is a concept that requires what<br />
you deliver to be relevant, up-to-date and<br />
engaging.<br />
It’s something I’ve come to respect given<br />
a number of conferences I’ve attended<br />
where often-repeated, outdated ideas were<br />
presented using data shows with no real sense<br />
of purpose other than for a box to be ticked,<br />
and I’d prefer to avoid this for obvious reasons.<br />
Then there’s the timing of everything, hitting<br />
your main points in the correct order, not<br />
relying on notes because they are distracting<br />
for you and your audience, and not going off<br />
topic.<br />
I once went to an event where the speaker<br />
got so far off topic that no one, including the<br />
presenter, knew what was happening.<br />
Lastly, what to wear, given a gal has got to look<br />
good, how to open (I’m thinking Te Reo), what<br />
resources to provide and how to finish well?<br />
There you have it and soon I’m hoping I’ll have<br />
done it!!<br />
Wish me luck.<br />

Hot winning streak for<br />
team of young Flames<br />
THE FASCINO Flames netball<br />
team were given an extra lift<br />
at the ANZ Premiership game<br />
between the Tactix and the<br />
Stars on Sunday.<br />
The team of eight year 6<br />
Harewood School pupils<br />
received an ANZ netball grant<br />
to subsidise their fees this<br />
season and 10 tickets to watch<br />
the Tactix live at Christchurch<br />
Arena.<br />
While at the game, the<br />
Flames were also surprised to<br />
be given an ANZ gear grant,<br />
which included balls, bibs, spot<br />
markers and gear bags.<br />
Coach Sheree Graham said<br />
the players were fizzing when<br />
they received the gear.<br />
TOGETHER:<br />

Olivia Hay,<br />
Kenzie Fry,<br />
Tayla Bott,<br />
Taya Smith<br />
and Edith<br />
Lynch.<br />
“They were thrilled to<br />
get the kit bag and getting to<br />
sit courtside, they really loved<br />
it.”<br />
The team wore matching<br />
red tutus and hair bows to the<br />
Tactix game, which helped<br />
them get signatures from all<br />
their favourite players, Graham<br />
said.<br />
The Flames were formed<br />
after the Covid-19 pandemic to<br />
keep the girls playing together.<br />
They made a strong start to<br />
their fourth season at the<br />
Christchurch Netball Centre,<br />
winning their first game. The<br />
team play St Margaret’s on<br />
Friday.<br />
Graham said she applied<br />
for the ANZ grant to keep the<br />
players together.<br />
“There’s so much happening<br />
in kids’ lives at the moment,<br />
and it’s so important to keep<br />
the girls interested in playing<br />
netball.<br />
“Especially at this age. They’re<br />
all off to intermediate next year<br />
and sport is so important for<br />
their mental and physical wellbeing.”<br />
“We didn’t have bibs for<br />
practices, and it’s great to have<br />
enough balls for everybody. We<br />
are going to donate the pole<br />
pads to the school so the whole<br />
school can use them. It’s a huge<br />
benefit to them which we’re<br />
really appreciative of.”<br />
• From page 1<br />
“We’re hoping every year to see<br />
a reduction in the amount of litter<br />
we pick up,” Jenkins said.<br />
“We do have an issue – let’s<br />
solve it.”<br />
Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton has been involved<br />
with the clean-ups since they<br />
began.<br />
“I helped out at the first clean<br />
up back in 2015 when I was chair<br />
of the (former) Hagley/Ferrymead<br />
Community Board and have<br />
been a big supporter ever since,”<br />
Templeton said.<br />
She usually cleans up around<br />
either the Tannery or Windsport<br />
Park on Dyers Rd.<br />
“It’s been amazing watching<br />
it grow year by year . . . The<br />
Heathcote Ward has many<br />
waterways. Smaller ones that<br />

‘Pick up 5’ a new<br />
rubbish initiative<br />

the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River<br />
and, of course, the estuary.”<br />
The event will include a new<br />
initiative this year – the High Five,<br />
I Can Pick Up Five campaign. It<br />
encourages everyone to pick up<br />
five pieces of litter outside their<br />
home.<br />
“The pick up five campaign is<br />
something people should be doing<br />
all year round,” Jenkins said.<br />
“If we all pick up five pieces<br />
of rubbish . . . that would be<br />
awesome. Then we’ll have the<br />
cleanest city in the country.”<br />

Foodie’s book serves up favourites<br />
Known for her market<br />
stall and then organic<br />
eatery BearLion Foods<br />
in Christchurch, chef<br />
Alesha Bilbrough-<br />
Collins has tried to distil<br />
her years of knowledge<br />
into a cookbook<br />
Food for Thought: A NZ-grown<br />
cookbook from the BearLion<br />
kitchen features her favourite<br />
recipes and words of advice on<br />
everything from head injuries<br />
and chemical use to questioning<br />
alcohol. Here’s a taster.<br />
Chicken drumstick curry<br />
You will need to make the<br />
curry paste first (recipe below).<br />
This is a great paste to have in<br />
the fridge if you want a quick<br />
and easy meal with some bang.<br />
Serves 6<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 Tbsp curry paste (below)<br />
440g can chopped tomatoes, or<br />
fresh<br />
2 Tbsp sesame oil<br />
440g can coconut cream<br />
1 large tsp salt or fish sauce<br />
12 chicken drumsticks<br />
½ cup toasted peanuts<br />
bunch coriander<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat oven to 200 deg C fan<br />
bake.<br />
Mix the curry paste with<br />
tomatoes, oil, coconut cream<br />
and salt in a roasting dish. Add<br />
your chicken pieces and stir<br />
to coat it all. Place in the oven<br />
and cook for 30-40 minutes,<br />
depending on how close together<br />
the drums are.<br />
Let rest for a good 5 minutes.<br />
Garnish with chopped peanuts<br />
and coriander.<br />
You could add different<br />
vegetables to bulk this curry<br />
up, such as cooked potato or<br />
kumara. Throw a few frozen peas<br />
in, perhaps some halved boiled<br />
eggs on top.<br />
Curry paste<br />
It really is worth the effort<br />
to make your own curry paste.<br />
Packed full of all-natural goodness<br />
and none of the bad. Once<br />
it’s done, it lasts for months in<br />
the fridge and you’ll be so stoked<br />
when you’re time-short and want<br />
a quick, easy meal with lots of<br />
flavour. It’s also a great way to<br />
use up coriander roots instead<br />
of tossing them in the bin.<br />
Every part of coriander is edible,<br />
like most plants.<br />
Makes 5 cups<br />
Ingredients<br />
80g fresh chillies, keep seeds if<br />
you like it hot<br />
225g onion, red or white<br />
125g garlic<br />
250g fresh ginger<br />
150g coriander roots<br />
3 Tbsp turmeric (grated fresh is<br />
best but dried will do)<br />
250g coconut oil, melted<br />
1 tbsp fenugreek<br />
2 Tbsp chopped lemongrass<br />
Directions<br />
Chop chillies, peel onions<br />
and garlic, and clean up the<br />
ginger, roots and turmeric if<br />
need be.<br />
Ensure all fresh ingredients are<br />
chopped small to make blending<br />
easier. Also make sure it’s all at<br />
room temperature otherwise<br />
the coconut oil will set hard and<br />
then you’re in trouble.<br />
Put everything into a highpowered<br />
blender and keep<br />
pulsing until you have a smooth<br />
paste.<br />
TASTY: Christchurch chef Alesha Bilbrough-Collins serves<br />
up ‘little gems’, such as chicken curry, in her new cookbook.<br />
You will have to keep stopping<br />
the blender and scraping the<br />
sides down. Store in a jar with a<br />
lid in the fridge.<br />
When you are using this paste<br />
in a meal, depending on whether<br />
it’s a dry curry or a cream or<br />
tomato base, don’t forget a salt<br />
element. Fish or soy sauce, or just<br />
salt.<br />
I include a little coconut sugar<br />
when I’m doing a tomato base;<br />
it just adds that little something<br />
extra.<br />

Do you suffer from<br />
dizziness, vertigo or BPPV?<br />
These issues can be treated with vestibular<br />
physiotherapy.<br />
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised<br />

work to improve symptoms of dizziness and the<br />
balance problems that can occur with vestibular<br />
dysfunction. Balance problems and dizziness can<br />
all be treated very effectively.<br />

3 Ways To Get The Most Out<br />
Of Property Investment<br />
Property investment is not a fire-breathing V8, nor is it a wee mini. Think of<br />
property investment more like a diesel tractor (with low emissions of course) that<br />
toils hard for you every year to bring you capital gains and rental yield. While it<br />
may not bring you sudden riches, the returns can build up over time. However, all<br />
vehicles need a service every now and then and it’s no different for our tractor. In<br />
light of this, here are three ways to get the most out of your investment property.<br />
Location, Location, Location:<br />
There’s no point ploughing a field with your tractor if the soil isn’t any good for<br />
growing anything. Choosing where to buy your property is just like a farmer<br />
determining which paddock to plant their seasonal crop. Some areas will<br />
produce much greater yields than others so it pays to make a decision backed by<br />
information and insights.<br />
Upgrading and Improving your Property:<br />
After you’ve made an informed decision and bought a property for sale in a<br />
prosperous area, it can be tempting to just sit on your laurels and watch the<br />
cash amass from rent payments and capital gains. However, this won’t always<br />
work. Fortunately, there are ways to build up your equity and profits, such as a<br />
fresh coat of paint inside and out, updating the kitchen and bathroom, upgrading<br />
appliances such as heat pumps and dishwashers etc. Obviously, some of these are<br />
cheaper than others, but what they all have in common is that they can add a lot<br />
more value than what they cost. An experienced and knowledgeable property<br />
manager can advise on improvements that might be worth doing and others that<br />
might not add any actual profit.<br />
For any questions regarding property<br />
investment, get in touch with your local<br />
property management specialists Mark<br />
Davison or Joanne Mackley today.<br />

Using a Property Manager:<br />
Having a constant mechanic on hand to tend to any issues your tractor might<br />
have, means you will be able to enjoy the benefits of an investment property,<br />
without worrying about the speed bumps. The days when the management of<br />
rental properties just entailed collecting rent money are well and truly over.<br />
Besides being well-trained and highly skilled in finding and keeping good tenants,<br />
knowing tenancy law, organising property maintenance and avoiding disputes<br />
with tenants, one of the main things you should be looking for in a property<br />
manager is experience in the industry – particularly a deep knowledge of the<br />
area you’re looking to invest in (or have already invested in). As they say, time is<br />
money, and using a property manager to mind your rental properties can save<br />
tractor loads of it.<br />
Why wait? The time to invest is now. Call our property managers today<br />
and get the most out of your property investment.<br />

Go-anywhere goliath loaded with luxury<br />
IF A new Toyota Land Cruiser is<br />
on your wish-list but you have a<br />
few extra notes in the bank, the<br />
Lexus LX 500d is the next best<br />
option.<br />
It’s a Land Cruiser on steroids<br />
in terms of specification and<br />
luxury and it sits in a part of the<br />
market that has little competition<br />
in terms of prestige and<br />
ability than, say, Range Rover.<br />
What’s more, it’s an easy decision<br />
to make if you have decided<br />
on Lexus, there are just two<br />
models – F-Sport and Limited<br />
both are priced at $175,900.<br />
As its nomenclature suggests<br />
the F-Sport has design elements<br />
that are a little on the sporty side<br />
– black mesh grille, unique front<br />
and rear bumpers – while inside<br />
there are aluminium centre<br />
console panels and coloured seat<br />
coverings. The Limited has a<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
chrome slatted grille, woodgrain<br />
shift panel, wood-rimmed steering<br />
wheel and full black leather.<br />
The only other real difference<br />
lies with the suspension, the F-<br />
Sport gets what Lexus describes<br />
as performance dampers. In<br />
effect, the ride is just marginally<br />
firmer, although I certainly<br />
couldn’t detect much difference<br />
between the standard settings<br />
and those fitted to the F-Sport;<br />
I climbed out of it and stepped<br />
straight into the Limited, there<br />
was no immediate feeling of<br />
change.<br />
Of course, if you were to<br />
explore all of the driveline settings<br />
and functions that make<br />
the Land Cruiser/LX 500d so<br />
capable, the chassis and suspension<br />
settings would then come<br />
into play.<br />
However, as capable as it is<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
off-road, you don’t see too many<br />
Lexus models charging through<br />
the bush or high country tracks,<br />
it is far more of a civilised sevenseat<br />
family wagon that will lend<br />
itself to any challenge, especially<br />
in terms of towing, it is rated<br />
with a 3500kg figure. If towing<br />
a horse float or boat for your<br />
recreational pursuits is what you<br />
require, then the Lexus in this<br />
form is the vehicle for you. It is<br />
a true sport utility vehicle with<br />
luxury and quality elements that<br />
are true to the Lexus ethos. For<br />
the children in the second row of<br />
seats, each can be entertained by<br />
their own personal screens fixed<br />
to the rear of the front seat head<br />
rests.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a new<br />
V6 diesel engine that also comes<br />
courtesy of Land Cruiser. The<br />
best way it can be described is it<br />
is much the same design as the<br />
old V8 that powered previous<br />
generation models, but with two<br />
cylinders fewer. It does get the<br />
benefit of a twin turbocharging<br />
system which provides power<br />
outputs greater than previously,<br />
it is rated at 227kW and<br />
CAR CITY<br />
EST 1973<br />
Opposite<br />
Uprising<br />
Rock<br />
Climbing<br />
a stunning 700Nm. Add in the<br />
coupling to a 10-speed automatic<br />
transmission, the relay of power<br />
to each corner is seamless and<br />
constant, there’s never a point<br />
when accelerator input isn’t met.<br />
The LX 500d is chock full of<br />
the luxury ingredients you get<br />
with any model from the Lexus<br />
stable, that’s something the<br />
company has classed as a major<br />
manufacturing ingredient in all<br />
of its models. I was reluctant to<br />
take the evaluation cars back to<br />
the dealership, both variants really<br />
grew on me, I simply enjoyed<br />
the driving experience.<br />
Which one would I buy?<br />
The F-Sport, knowing those<br />
performance dampers are sitting<br />
underneath are just one more<br />
reason to feel secure on the road.<br />
