Conquering<br />
the Pipeline<br />
of Pain<br />
TOUGH: Amy Whitehead crossed the Pipeline of Pain on the Port Hills for the eighth time on Saturday to raise money for Dementia Canterbury.<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
AMY WHITEHEAD is on an<br />
adventure for dementia, running<br />
the Pipeline of Pain on the<br />
Port Hills to raise awareness<br />
and money for people with the<br />
illness.<br />
Whitehead, 34, ran the 5.2km<br />
loop route, which starts next to<br />
the Bridle Path, for the eighth<br />
time on Saturday to raise funds<br />
for Dementia Canterbury.<br />
She plans to complete the route<br />
at least 78 times by December.<br />
That’s a total of 405.6km over the<br />
whole year.<br />
Whitehead said she is doing<br />
the challenge in memory of her<br />
aunt Joanie Sommerville who<br />
lost her battle with dementia in<br />
January last year.<br />
Said Whitehead: “She was a<br />
super warm, bubbly, and incredibly<br />
lovely person and it was<br />
pretty hard to watch her personality<br />
change.”<br />
Whitehead has raised about<br />
$3500 to date, which will go towards<br />
helping dementia patients<br />
and their families.<br />
“Dementia Canterbury<br />
PHOTO: KELY MICHEL<br />
provides support and resources<br />
for patients and families and I<br />
found it difficult in knowing how<br />
to help my aunt and uncle, but<br />
they provide care, information<br />
and activities that keep them<br />
engaged.”<br />

Jeffreys Reserve tree planting<br />
plan gets the green light<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
A TREE planting plan at Jeffreys<br />
Reserve in Fendalton has been<br />
approved in alignment with the<br />
city council’s urban forest plan.<br />
The Waimāero Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board reviewed the plan<br />
and it passed unanimously.<br />
It will allow for 40 per cent<br />
canopy cover across the reserve.<br />
The urban forest plan<br />
focuses on increasing the<br />
city’s canopy cover, in<br />
particular within open<br />
spaces. It was released for<br />
public consultation between<br />
June 30 and July 17.<br />
Four submissions specifically<br />
related to Jeffreys<br />
Reserve. Two expressed an<br />
interest in seeing more native<br />
trees, one highlighted<br />
the importance of maintaining<br />
visibility for safety reasons, and<br />
one had concerns about shading<br />
and existing silver birch trees.<br />
These suggestions have been<br />
incorporated.<br />
City arborist Toby Chapman<br />
said the Jeffreys Reserve plans<br />
were sent around city council<br />
departments internally, and one<br />
concern was to ensure there<br />
was sufficient space for the playground<br />
upgrade.<br />
Toby<br />
Chapman<br />
“One thing that was raised<br />
there was to ensure that we have<br />
space provided for an upgrade<br />
of the playground, when it’s<br />
scheduled in the future, which<br />
we’ve done.<br />
“We also took some trees off<br />
the planting plan in one of the<br />
corners just to create a more<br />
open feel to the park because we<br />
were concerned that that would<br />
close the park off a lot.”<br />
He said three proposed<br />
trees near the playground<br />
area and two near the<br />
bend in the path have<br />
been removed from the<br />
plan.<br />
Chapman said most of<br />
the general submissions<br />
were concerned about<br />
the species selection, or<br />
indicated a preference for<br />
more native trees.<br />
“This is something the city<br />
council staff have taken on<br />
board and will be incorporated<br />
into these plans,” he said.<br />
Some general submissions also<br />
highlighted concerns about ongoing<br />
maintenance of the trees,<br />
but as part of the parks planting<br />
programme all trees will be<br />
maintained for the first seven<br />
years before being included in<br />
the city council’s normal tree<br />
FUTURE PROOFING:<br />
Changes have been<br />
incorporated into the<br />
Jeffreys Reserve tree<br />
planting plan, to ensure<br />
there is space for a<br />
playground upgrade in the<br />
future.<br />
maintenance programme.<br />
Chapman said there is only<br />
a month and a half left of the<br />
planting season, so not everything<br />
will get done at Jeffreys<br />
Reserve this season.<br />
“We need to start ordering<br />
trees for next season so we can<br />
get stuck in.”<br />
In Brief<br />
NOR’WEST CYCLEWAY<br />
NEGOTIATIONS ONGOING<br />
Negotiations<br />
between<br />
city council<br />
staff and a<br />
preferred<br />
contractor for the Nor’West Arc<br />
Cycleway from the university to<br />
Aorangi Rd are continuing. If<br />
the negotiations are successful,<br />
construction is anticipated to<br />
begin later this month. Staff will<br />
provide a further update once the<br />
contract has been awarded and<br />
the programme confirmed.<br />
GARDENS TO GET LIGHT<br />
TO HELP WITH SECURITY<br />
The Bryndwr Community<br />
Gardens will be getting a solar<br />
light as a trial to help with<br />
security. The light will go in the<br />
gardens and will benefit attendees<br />
of the aikido gym as well, as they<br />
will be able to see the path to the<br />
building at night. The garden may<br />
also get a couple of fruit trees<br />
planted in the coming months.<br />
BIKE SHED SURVEY TO BE<br />
CARRIED OUT<br />
The Bishopdale Mall Business<br />
Centre Association, with support<br />
from community development<br />
advisor Natalie Dally, will be<br />
surveying businesses in the mall<br />
about whether they need a secure<br />
space to lock employee bicycles.<br />
It is hoped the survey will help to<br />
identify how many people would<br />
use a bike shed, the size needed<br />
and possible locations.<br />

The Kereru<br />
V team take<br />
a leap at<br />
Christchurch<br />
Netball<br />
Centre’s<br />
Rainbow<br />
tournament<br />
on Sunday.<br />
Netballers jump for joy<br />
A RECORD number of teams<br />
descended on Hagley Park over<br />
the weekend for Christchurch<br />
Netball Centre’s annual junior<br />
Rainbow tournament.<br />
Seventy-four teams of primary<br />
school-aged children across<br />
Canterbury participated in the<br />
popular event, designed to be<br />
a fun, supportive environment<br />
where children gain skills,<br />
confidence and a love for the<br />
game. This year’s tournament<br />
broke the record for the number<br />
of teams entered.<br />
Said CNC general manager<br />
Tom Houghton: “Our<br />
responsibility is to grow a love<br />
for the game of netball across<br />
Ōtautahi and beyond.”<br />
Numerous coaches, umpires,<br />
whistlers and officials help make<br />
the event possible. It has become<br />
known for its spectacular fancy<br />
dress and great community<br />
atmosphere.<br />

Run to raise<br />
money for<br />
dementia<br />
•From page 1<br />
Whitehead said her<br />
uncle decided to raise funds<br />
for dementia by cycling the<br />
length of New Zealand and she<br />
wanted to do something similar<br />
to help.<br />
“I got the idea to do this<br />
challenge from a podcast I was<br />
listening to in 2021 where a<br />
woman in Auckland picked a 5km<br />
loop track and added an extra<br />
5km each month.<br />
“I thought it was really cool,<br />
although I haven’t really thought<br />
through what it entails.”<br />
Whitehead said her fundraising<br />
journey parallels what dementia<br />
patients go through.<br />
“When I started this in January<br />
it was relatively easy but has<br />
become progressively harder and I<br />
have had to have people help me.<br />
“This is what it is like for<br />
dementia patients, there are small<br />
and subtle changes and as they<br />
go further on their journey it<br />
becomes harder and the patient<br />
and the family needs more<br />
support.”<br />

School culinary champions<br />
CHAMPS: Burnside High School culinary team Maddie<br />
Trafford (left) and Kaitlyn Braithwaite celebrate their<br />
regional win.<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
TWO BURNSIDE High School<br />
students won the regional round<br />
of the National Secondary<br />
Schools Culinary Challenge.<br />
Year 13 students Maddie<br />
Trafford and Kaitlyn Braithwaite<br />
will represent Canterbury and<br />
compete against seven other<br />
New Zealand secondary schools<br />
for the national title.<br />
The final will be held in<br />
Auckland at the Manukau<br />
Institute of Technology on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 23. The winning school<br />
will receive a Moffat E23M3 oven<br />
valued at $3500, $<strong>10</strong>00 Bidfood<br />
credit and the winning students<br />
will each receive a $500 Prezzy<br />
Card.<br />
For the regional competition<br />
the two students had to create<br />
and submit photos and recipes of<br />
an entree where the main hero<br />
of the dish was cauliflower and<br />
they made Dukkah crumbed<br />
cauliflower on a cauliflower<br />
puree with roasted carrots,<br />
pickled radish, roquette salsa<br />
verde, with a cauliflower cracker<br />
and maple syrup.<br />
Along with winning the<br />
regional title they won $500<br />
in credit from Bidfood to<br />
assist with the purchase of<br />
ingredients for training, a $300<br />
restaurant association voucher<br />
as part of their research towards<br />
developing their dishes for the<br />
final, and chef jackets to wear at<br />
the final.<br />
Food technology and<br />
hospitality teacher Kristie<br />
Hanley said they are quietly<br />
confident but still need more<br />
practice before the big day.<br />
“It is coming to the big<br />
crunch point before any<br />
competition. We have been<br />
fortunate to win this title on two<br />
previous occasions,” she said.<br />
Hanley said students who take<br />
cookery as a subject at school<br />
learn so many foundational skills<br />
that they can be useful for many<br />
career options.<br />
“Any student wishing to focus<br />
on the hospitality industry<br />
gains knowledge of what it feels<br />
like in a commercial kitchen and<br />
also front of house.”<br />
The national competition will<br />
see each team prepare, cook<br />
and serve four portions of their<br />
cauliflower entree and four<br />
portions of a main course that<br />
uses Waitoa chicken, at least<br />
three servings of New Zealand<br />
grown fresh vegetables, a starch<br />
component, and a sauce.<br />
On the day following the<br />
competition, all of the students<br />
competing will take part in the<br />
New Zealand Culinary Journey,<br />
visiting a variety of suppliers and<br />
hospitality venues.<br />
Hanley said they are fortunate<br />
at the school to be well-resourced<br />
with their teaching facilities<br />
and the depth of knowledge and<br />
experience of their staff.<br />
“A number of students<br />
choose our subjects as they<br />
enjoy the hands-on practical<br />
experience. Other students<br />
choose a pathway in food<br />
technology, designing and<br />
creating new products. For those<br />
sports-minded we also cater to<br />
the nutrition and health aspects.<br />
Cooking is a life skill.”<br />
Papanui High students earn medals<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
STUDENTS FROM Papanui<br />
High School managed to win<br />
bronze and silver in the National<br />
Secondary Schools Culinary<br />
Challenge.<br />
Eight teams of year 13 students<br />
competed in the online cooking<br />
competition and all teams<br />
managed to place with four silver<br />
and four bronze.<br />
Each entry is judged by<br />
starting at <strong>10</strong>0 and marks are<br />
taken away for any errors, with<br />
the school’s top mark being 87<br />
out of <strong>10</strong>0.<br />
Assistant head of catering<br />
Judy Coleman said they have<br />
entered the competition the past<br />
two years and the competition<br />
allows students the chance to<br />
work in a commercial kitchen<br />
environment.<br />
“This is a great competition,<br />
and we will compete again next<br />
CREATIONS: One of the Papanui High School students’ entrees consisted of roasted<br />
sticky sesame cauliflower served with traditional boiled sticky rice and gow gees.<br />
Right – Another included deep fried cauliflower with a lemon aioli dip.<br />
year. Students gain <strong>10</strong> level<br />
three credits from competing,<br />
but I always give the students<br />
the option to compete, it is not<br />
compulsory,” she said.<br />
The competition required<br />
students to make entrees<br />
that used cauliflower as the<br />
main ingredient and Coleman<br />
said it gave the students a chance<br />
to develop their skills and<br />
recipes.<br />
“There was a lot of trial and<br />
error, and the students are very<br />
critical of each other but in a<br />
nice way. It gives them the scope<br />
to develop recipes, learn the<br />
equipment, research, it is good<br />
from the point of view.”<br />
She said it is a great<br />
opportunity for students<br />
to gain these skills whether<br />
they use them later in life, while<br />
doing part time work or if they<br />
decide to enter the hospitality<br />
industry.<br />
“It is a wonderful opportunity,<br />
and it is really rewarding to<br />
see them try something new<br />
and learn new skills, it is really<br />
good.”<br />

‘Are we there yet?’ was a constant<br />
question whenever we travelled as<br />
a young family. It started from the<br />
minute we left home and continued<br />
until the moment we pulled up at<br />
our destination. Today it provides<br />
a perfect analogy for where we find<br />
ourselves in the current market.<br />
There are several schools of thought as<br />
to what’s actually happening.<br />
Here’s one of the most optimistic: ‘we’re<br />
almost there, ready to turn the corner’.<br />
In support of this, utilizing coalface<br />
observations, I’m finding auction<br />
rooms including our own are busy,<br />
full of qualified, cash-ready buyers in<br />
the following categories: first-home<br />
purchasers and ‘as is, where is’ buyers<br />
looking for their next project.<br />
Not to be put off, and reappearing after a<br />
long absence, are investors determined<br />
to start their own property portfolios –<br />
often in anticipation of an opportunity<br />
to purchase well.<br />
Now let’s look a little more closely at<br />
some of these categories.<br />
The first-home buyers are definitely<br />
benefitting from some easing of the<br />
lending criteria and reduced LVR levels<br />
whilst being predominantly active in<br />
the $500,000 – $750,000 bracket.<br />
Real Estate New Zealand figures just<br />
released support this finding with<br />
Christchurch sale-by-price data for the<br />
month of June showing 47% of all sales<br />
were between $500,000 and $700,000.<br />
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen<br />
nearly half of all the sales occurring<br />
being to mainly first-home buyers and,<br />
as a mum in addition to being a real<br />
estate professional, it gives me hope for<br />
the future.<br />
No doubt the view that interest rates<br />
could have peaked and that potential<br />
worst-case scenarios can be quantified<br />
has also helped alleviate fears held by<br />
previous groups of first-home buyers.<br />
Now investors: what’s bringing them<br />
out? Is it just the oversupply of specific<br />
types of property, especially of the twobedroom,<br />
no-garage variety, that could<br />
be just the start they were looking for<br />
– or is it the positivity that accompanies<br />
the resurgence of immigration figures?<br />
We now know there are as many as<br />
200,000 immigrants in the process of<br />
working towards residency.<br />
The prospect of them going on to either<br />
rent or purchase their own property<br />
adds fuel to the belief that the market,<br />
though cautious, is modestly improving.<br />
So, let’s get back to ‘are we there yet?’<br />
The optimist in me says, ‘getting there’.<br />
I know that sounds a bit like a foot in<br />
both camps and, yes, it is.<br />
Indicators are definitely present to<br />
support that belief and prices are<br />
holding their own whilst the level<br />
of desirable available properties is<br />
seasonally low. It also hasn’t escaped<br />
me that we have an election pending,<br />
which could act as a wildcard. And I’m<br />
aware of statements made by one of<br />
the parties looking to make significant<br />
changes to the Brightline Test by<br />
means of a reduction of the timeframe<br />
in which taxes are required to be paid<br />
on sale. This has the potential to create<br />
more market activity. So it’s bound to<br />
get interesting as everyone lobbies,<br />
utilizing the property market as a means<br />
of winning support.<br />
But one thing 30 years of real estate has<br />
taught me is that when property goes<br />
into a trough it always comes out the<br />
other side, and to everyone currently<br />
trying to transact property, this very old<br />
but perennially relevant saying holds<br />
some weight.<br />
“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor<br />
can it be carried away. Purchased with<br />
common sense, paid for and managed<br />
with reasonable care it is the safest<br />
investment in the world.” - Franklin D.<br />

Bid to stop ‘harmful cat feeder’<br />
• By Anastasia Hedge<br />
RESIDENTS IN Papanui,<br />
Bryndwr and Bishopdale are<br />
calling for intervention from<br />
police, SPCA and their local<br />
MP to stop a woman they say is<br />
harming their pets.<br />
The group of cat owners have<br />
tracked the woman they have<br />
called the “local harmful cat<br />
feeder”.<br />
Seven-year-old cat Tabs is<br />
now on steroids after a case<br />
of vomiting left him severely<br />
underweight in December.<br />
He was ordered onto a strict<br />
diet, but owner Sara said it<br />
was proving tough when a cat<br />
feeder had been dishing out<br />
questionable cat food in her<br />
neighbourhood for years.<br />
“I know she’s fed my cat<br />
potato chips because he was<br />
vomiting daily. We had to put<br />
him in the bathroom at night<br />
because it’s easier to clean up.<br />
Just last week, he vomited up<br />
crinkle cuts and we don’t have<br />
crinkle cut chips in the house.”<br />
Videos and photos show a<br />
woman carrying bags of food<br />
and putting it on leaves or junk<br />
mail outside and inside people’s<br />
properties. She has also been<br />
seen grooming cats with a brush<br />
and in one video appearing to<br />
take a cat from underneath a<br />
fence.<br />
Sara said she had asked the<br />
woman to stop feeding her cat,<br />
but she continued to put food<br />
out every day.<br />
Late Nights & Sunday appointments available<br />

FOUL FOOD: Seven-year-old cat Tabs is on steroids after a case of vomiting left him<br />
severely underweight in December. He may have been eating the food scattered<br />
outside and inside people’s properties.<br />
“I usually see her on my street<br />
between <strong>10</strong>am and 11am so I put<br />
him out after 2pm and someone<br />
else’s poor cat has eaten up the<br />
food.”<br />
Another resident, Sharmaine,<br />
said her cat, Lucky, ate food the<br />
woman had laid out and on the<br />
same day became very unwell<br />
and had to be put down.<br />
She said she could not prove<br />
the woman’s food caused him to<br />
get sick, but she was not taking<br />
any chances with her other cat<br />
Phoebe.<br />
“She’ll stand outside and<br />
click her fingers, like ‘come on’,<br />
trying to encourage my other<br />
cat outside and I look at her<br />
like ‘don’t even think about it’. I<br />
can’t even say anything, without<br />
being so, not hateful, just very<br />
angry and frustrated.”<br />
Kate, like Sara and Sharmaine,<br />
said she had asked the woman<br />

repeatedly to stop feeding her<br />
cat Archie, who she noticed<br />
had put on significant weight,<br />
despite being fed just once a day.<br />
She said she had laid a<br />
complaint with police after she<br />
confronted the woman, who was<br />
on her property on Saturday.<br />
“I told her to leave and I said<br />
I’m going to keep standing here<br />
until you leave, until you stop<br />
feeding my cat and she came<br />
right up to me and I said ‘don’t<br />
get physical with me love, if you<br />
do that you’re going to jail’.”<br />
Dozens of cat owners have<br />
shared their run-ins with the<br />
woman and stories of their<br />
sick cats on the Facebook page<br />
named Stop the Local Harmful<br />
Cat Feeder.<br />
A petition has gathered more<br />
than 430 signatures calling<br />
for police, SPCA and Ilam MP<br />
Sarah Pallett to act.<br />
Police confirmed they<br />
are assessing reports of<br />
the woman’s behaviour<br />
for criminality. A police<br />
spokesperson said any concerns<br />
about behaviour in the area<br />
should be reported.<br />
SPCA scientific officer Alison<br />
Vaughan was aware of the<br />
situation and the SPCA has been<br />
working with other agencies on<br />
the case.<br />
Bishopdale Medical Centre<br />
had put up a sign addressed<br />
to the cat feeder, asking<br />
them to stop feeding cats on<br />
their property because it was<br />
attracting flies and they were<br />
sick of cleaning it up.<br />
City council staff had<br />
followed up on complaints from<br />
residents, and the woman was<br />
spoken to but her actions were<br />
not deemed an offense under the<br />
Litter Act. –RNZ<br />

A HALSWELL woman has been<br />
named New Zealand’s young plant<br />
producer of the year.<br />
Lydia O’Dowd, 29, won a<br />
12-month mentorship programme<br />
and $4000 to advance her career in<br />

years.<br />
The competition<br />
tested her finance and dispatch<br />

agrichemical use and irrigation.<br />
O’Dowd has a certificate<br />
in horticulture from Lincoln<br />
University.<br />
She has been in the head of<br />
propagation role for just over a<br />
year.<br />
“Right now, I am exactly where I<br />
want to be. My job is so varied and<br />
rewarding, I love it. I am passionate<br />
about sustainability and growing<br />
natives to sell on to companies that<br />
are contributing to the restoration<br />
of our natural environment in NZ.<br />
That really motivates me.”<br />

Nissan X-Trail a luxurious ground-breaker<br />
NISSAN’S 4 TH generation X-Trail<br />
is a ground-breaker. It’s the first<br />
sold here with hybrid technology<br />
and the first SUV produced<br />
under the joint Nissan, Renault<br />
and Mitsubishi Automotive<br />
Alliance.<br />
This latest X-Trail is touted as<br />
Nissan’s most technologically<br />
advanced SUV and is unique in<br />
the world of hybrids, offering an<br />
EV-like drive experience without<br />
ever needing a plug or fast charger.<br />
Unlike conventional hybrids,<br />
Nissan’s e-POWER technology<br />
delivers a constant EV-like drive,<br />
thanks to the driven wheels being<br />
powered only by the electric<br />
motors.<br />
Both the exterior and interior<br />
of the new X-Trail are smart,<br />
modern and versatile.<br />
The flagship $66,990 model<br />
Ti-L e-POWER with e-4ORCE,<br />
supplied for this road test, is the<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
real luxury SUV deal – and it<br />
needs to be with that hefty price<br />
tag.<br />
It includes a panoramic sunroof,<br />
tri-zone climate controlled<br />
air conditioning, heated steering<br />
wheel, <strong>10</strong>-speaker sound system,<br />
and hands-free opening of the<br />
rear tailgate.<br />
Its high-output 2.1kWh battery<br />
is teamed with a turbo-petrol<br />
engine, power generator, inverter<br />
and twin electric motors, with<br />
a combined system output of<br />
157kW. Charging the electric<br />
motors is the sole mission of a<br />
1.5-litre turbo-charged threecylinder<br />
petrol engine, and the<br />
wheels are exclusively driven by<br />
the electric motor. Pure electric<br />
motor drive means there is none<br />
of the power lag of an internal<br />
combustion engine or traditional<br />
hybrid.<br />
Thanks to the addition of a<br />
rear motor, the powerful dual<br />
e-motor system offers nippy acceleration,<br />
with a zero-<strong>10</strong>0km/h<br />
time of just 7.0 seconds. The<br />
e-4ORCE twin-motor all-wheeldrive<br />
system delivers reassuring<br />
traction in damp, muddy and<br />
icy conditions. It’s smoother and<br />
livelier to drive that most hybrids<br />
– and about as close as you will<br />
get to full EV driving in a vehicle<br />
that isn’t EV, but does a great job<br />
of impersonating one.<br />
A new-generation CVT (Constant<br />
Variable Transmission)<br />
delivers better fuel economy<br />
thanks to improved ratio coverage.<br />
Several upgrades ensure a<br />
big step up from the lethargic<br />
and indifferent CVT used in the<br />
previous model.<br />
For a mid-sized SUV this one<br />
is roomier than most with and<br />
load space to burn, with a generous<br />
sized boot.<br />
Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility<br />
suite of active safety tech has<br />
greater capability. Standard<br />
functions include Predictive<br />
Forward Collision Warning,<br />
Intelligent Cruise Control with<br />
Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane<br />
Departure Warning and Rear<br />
Auto Emergency Braking with<br />
pedestrian and cyclist detection<br />
technology. An Acoustic Vehicle<br />
Alerting System on e-POWER<br />
models lets other road users<br />
know an electrified vehicle is<br />
approaching, when the X-Trail<br />
is operating in near-silent EV<br />
Mode.<br />
The advanced multi-link rear<br />
suspension excels when under<br />
siege from sudden direction<br />
changes, or different road cambers.<br />
The suspension and steering<br />
establishes greater interactions<br />
between driver, vehicle and<br />
road, which make this vehicle a<br />
more enjoyable drive than any<br />
other X-Trail.<br />
This isn’t a serious off-road<br />
vehicle. If you wanting that then<br />
you’ll need to look elsewhere.<br />
However, it’s perfect for<br />
powering its way up ski field<br />
access roads or reasonably well<br />
formed gravel tracks, but its<br />
average ground clearance make<br />
excursion over more demanding<br />
terrain risky.<br />
