PLAN TO LOWER SPEED LIMITS
Councillor
who lost
mum in
crash
doesn’t
FATAL: The aftermath of a crash that killed city councillor Aaron
Keown’s mum Laureen Riley (inset) in 2008.
back idea
• By Daniel Alvey
A CITY councillor lobbying
against lowering speed limits lost
his mother in a head-on crash
caused by a speeding driver.
But Aaron Keown says there
is a difference between targeting
speeding boy racers and
putting in a blanket rule over
all road users.
Keown has spoken out
against the city council’s
draft Safer Speed Plan, which
if it gets the green light will
see a reduction to 30km/h
in residential areas across
Christchurch – and 50km/h
on roads like Blenheim Rd and
Memorial Ave.
In 2008, Keown’s mother
Laureen Riley was killed
instantly after becoming the
innocent victim of a spur-ofthe-moment
45-second street
race between two strangers,
who reached speeds of up
to 157km/h on Main North
Rd near Chaineys before one
overtook the other, ploughing
into the car Riley was the
passenger in.
Keown said the new speed
plan would not have made a
difference.
“Not at all, they were doing
over double the speed limit at
the time. The speed limit could
have been 30km/h . . . any
speed limit wasn’t going to stop
them.”
City council transport
operations manager Stephen
Wright said evidence shows
safer speeds save lives.
Keown agrees that evidence
shows being hit by a car at a
slower speed increases survival
chances, but disagrees it will
reduce the road toll.
“If I was going to get by car
this afternoon with a padded
suit on I’d pick 30km/h over
50km/h any day.

A MYSTERY meat dumper
has been filling public bins
in Wigram and Hornby with
hundreds of kilograms of meat
in recent weeks.
The dumping comes as the
city council reveals cleaning
up fly-tipping from the city’s
roadsides has cost more than
$800,000 in the past six years.
City councillor Andrei
Moore said someone had
thrown 670kg of meat in
public bins in Wigram and
Hornby.
“We had 220 kilos on one
occasion and 200 on another
a couple of weeks afterwards,”
he said.
Earlier this week the biggest
dumping yet took place, with
14 bags containing 250kg of
meat thrown out.
“It’s hard to say exactly where
it might have come from – if it’s
from a business or is it from a

homekill job? It’s hard to say,”
Moore said.
“Presumably it’s to avoid
paying the dumping fees. The
fees are a reasonable amount
. . . to dump this much meat
would’ve cost $150 to $170 or
so.”
It was not entirely clear what
the contents of the bags were,
though it was believed to be
beef and pork.
It cost the council $16,000 to
clear illegally dumped
rubbish from streets in 2017,
but last year it was $105,000, in
2021 it cost $230,000 and the
problem peaked at $330,000 in
2020.
There were 22,229 jobs
relating to fly-tipping during
the last road maintenance
contract period.
In 2023, there were 3142
reports of rubbish dumped in
parks across the city.

The big Geraldine quake:
How did one of the
biggest quakes of the
year yesterday strike in a
normally seismic quiet
area? Jamie Morton
explains
WHAT WAS one of the largest
earthquakes of 2023 struck in
a seismically quiet area, near
faults that have produced only a
handful of big shakes in the past
18,000 years.
The 9.14am jolt – earlier
estimated at magnitude 6.4 and
6.2, but since revised to 6.0 - was
centred about 45km north of
Geraldine, at a relatively shallow
depth of 11km.
Felt by more than 14,000 people
mostly in the South Island,
the earthquake was followed by
31 aftershocks in the two and a
half hours following – the largest
of which measured 3.6 and hit at
9.25am.
More were expected, GNS
Science seismic duty officer Katie
Jacobs said.
“When an earthquake occurs
there is always a small possibility
that a larger earthquake will
follow, however, the most likely
scenario is that there will be a
number of smaller aftershocks
which will taper off with time,”
she said.
“Because this is a region of
lower historical seismicity it is
more difficult to forecast specifically.”
GNS Science geologist David
Barrell said the quake was centred
in the Rangitata Gorge area
where two identified active faults
meet – the Ben McLeod Fault
and the Lake Heron Fault.
These two faults had “relatively
low” levels of activity, he said.
“Given the magnitude of 6.0 -
relatively small for a major fault -
it was likely on a subsurface fault
between those two faults.”
The epicentre was located
about 70km southeast of the Alpine
Fault – the sprawling system
that marked the plate boundary
in this part of the South Island.
While there were no known
historical quakes in this area that
PHOTO: GEONET
measured above magnitude 5.0,
nearby large faults were understood
to have ruptured several
times within the past 18,000
years.
Victoria University geophysicist
Professor John Townend
said it appeared the quake had
come about through reverse-type
faulting – where a block above
a fault moved up relative to the
block below it.
Townend said this was indicative
of compression between the
Australian and Pacific tectonic
plates that collide beneath New
Zealand to create our famously
shaky environment.
“In this case, the Pacific plate
is moving southwest toward the
Australian plate, and that creates
compression and compressive
stresses, which are relieved in
reverse-type earthquakes like
this one.”
He said the quake occurred
in what was a complex plate
boundary zone, of which the
high-risk Alpine Fault was just
one component.
“There are lots of faults
throughout the Southern Alps
which accommodate various
amounts of this reverse-type and
strike-slip lateral motion – and
there’ll be more work to refine its
location and depth over the next
little while.
“This event is probably part
of that broader deformation
that’s distributed through the
Southern Alps on faults that are
less well-known than the Alpine
Fault but accommodate some of
the motion.”
It also wasn’t yet clear just why
the quake had been felt so widely.
“I suspect what we’ll learn is

that it’s partly due to the presence
of the Hikurangi Plateau, which
is a thick and quite transmissive
crustal block,” he said.
Jacobs said the event had been
a good test of GNS Science’s
newly released Shaking Layers
tool, which provided shaking
intensity maps minutes after an
earthquake stronger than 3.5.
It worked by combining
ground motion recordings across
GeoNet’s seismic networks with
model predictions to estimate
shaking at any given point in
the country.
Not only was today’s event the
first, strong local quake to be
measured by the tool – it was also
equally the biggest quake of 2023,
alongside another 6.0 quake that
hit near Paraparaumu that struck
amid the Cyclone Gabrielle disaster
on February 15.
Other notable events this year
included a 5.6 event, north of
French Pass, on August 11, and
a 5.9 event near Pōrangahau on
April 26.
Earlier this year, Canterbury
was rocked by earthquakes measuring
between 4.4 and 4.7. The

quakes, in March and April, were

before today’s event.
The shake also follows some
notable spates this year recorded
around Kawerau, Te Aroha and
Pōrangahau – and there have
been nine in total measuring
above 5.0.
But that didn’t mean there had
been more activity than usual
this year.
The 10,957 quakes recorded
over the first six months of 2023
were relatively close to average,

Yesterday’s shake also came as
a large team of scientists recently
published data mapping nearly
900 faults capable of generating
moderate to large quakes.
This wealth of new information
helped inform the recentlyupdated
National Seismic Hazard
Model which, compared with
previous estimates of seismic
hazard, showed an increased risk
of ground-shaking from future
quakes in places such as Blenheim,
Wellington, Napier and
Gisborne.
With a multi-million dollar,
GNS-led programme called
Rapid Characterisation of Earthquakes
and Tsunami, or RCET,
experts have been drawing on the
latest science to fully understand
a given quake’s complex, threedimensional
nature.
It has already helped deliver
New Zealand one of the best
earthquake response systems in
the world – and enabled scientists
to quickly gauge an event’s ability
to cause widespread shaking,
trigger tsunamis and landslides,
as well as damage to infrastructure
like roads and buildings.

“That’s not how people are being killed,
people aren’t being killed by law-abiding
drivers doing the speed limit.”
Keown said Waka Kotahi New Zealand
Transport Agency’s Road to Zero campaign
had not saved any lives, despite the
amount being spent on it.
He said the money being spent on lowering
speed limits should be spent elsewhere,
like on road policing.
This week 18-year-old learner driver
Adam Rapson appeared in the district
court charged with dangerous driving
causing death, among other charges,
after a passenger in the car he was driving,
Zara Mitchell, 18, died when it crashed in
Rangiora. Police had earlier abandoned
pursuing the vehicle.
Keown said people who are found guilty
of this kind of behaviour should be jailed.
“As soon as we start doing that and start
being really serious about it there will be a
reduction in the road toll.
“There’s this whole vibe that you’ll
notice throughout the country around
councils and some government
departments, which is very anti-cars. So
they might call it pro-people but that’s
code for ‘we hate cars’, I think that’s what
you’ll find.”
Keown said lowering speed limits in
the city centre is really an ideology to get
people out of their cars.
“Their motive is ‘we want you to get out
of your car, we don’t believe in cars, we
want you to use other modes of transport.

“We will force you out of your cars by
making driving frustrating,” he said.
But Wright said the plan sets “safe and
appropriate speed limits” for all streets
and roads in the district. These speed limits
have been guided by new Waka Kotahi
NZTA rules, which direct all councils to
prepare a long-term speed management
plan.
Over the duration of the city council’s
10-year plan, it is proposed urban streets
will be 10km/h in shared spaces, 20km/h
in settlements along the coastline such as
Rāpaki and 30km/h along local residential
streets, outside schools and marae. Busier
main streets will become 40km/h and
streets that connect people to key destinations
like Memorial Ave, Aldwins Rd,
Stephen
Wright
Linwood Ave and Blenheim
Rd will be 50km/h. Rural
roads will be 60km/h and
80km/h.
“Improving safety on our
roads is a key priority for the
council, and the evidence
shows safer speeds save
lives,” Wright said.
“If a pedestrian is hit by a car travelling
at 50km/h, there is only a 20 per cent
chance they will survive. At 30km/h, the
survival rate increases significantly to 90
per cent.”

Defence Force
investigating
alleged
animal abuse
at Burnham
PHOTO: JONATHAN MITCHELL /RNZ​
• By Lisa Owen
A SOLDIER is under
investigation for alleged animal
abuse, including dumping a
mistreated dog in a recycling bin.
The Defence Force has confirmed
two dogs have been surrendered
to the SPCA after they
were found in poor condition at
the Burnham Military Camp.
The SPCA confirmed the
animals were alive and receiving
good care.
The alleged abuser was an
army private. The NZDF has not
said whether the soldier was still
working, but said they were
being supported.
It refused to give specific
details about the alleged animal
abuse, including a claim from
a source that one dog had its
mouth taped shut.
Initially the NZDF only
provided information about one
animal, saying it did not sustain
any serious or long-term injury.
It eventually revealed there were
two dogs which were allegedly
mistreated, one found in the
rubbish.
Camp duty staff were alerted
to the incident amid concerns for
the individual involved, it said.
The dogs were not service
animals.
The police were notified, but
they referred the case to the
SPCA, the NZDF said.
The SPCA said it was called
in on June 25, carried out an
investigation and passed information
on to the Military Police
on August 11. It did not want to
be interviewed, saying it was a
Defence Force issue.
A disciplinary process was ongoing
but charges had not been
laid yet, the NZDF said.
Sociology professor Nik Taylor
has researched the link between
the mistreatment of animals and
other forms of violence. She said
the situation was “very concerning”.
The incident brought up
questions around the mental
health and well-being of the
perpetrator, she said. She was
also concerned for members of
the perpetrator’s family.
“Even if they’re not victims
of some form of physical abuse
themselves, them witnessing the
abuse can bring levels of trauma
for them.”
Taylor said there was “a lot”
of evidence gathered globally
over the last 40 years that
showed a link between violence
towards animals and violence
towards humans.
In the US, there was a crossreporting
model where domestic
violence agencies flagged violence
with animal abuse workers,
and vice-versa. She said this “indicates
how seriously we should
be taking this”.
Taylor said animal abuse was
not taken seriously enough in
New Zealand.
“We need some kind of
training and education for
those involved in prosecuting
animal abuse so that they realise
how important it is to take it
seriously.”

Air purifiers donated to help deal
with Bromley’s ‘putrid smell’
• By Adam Burns
A PARENT believes her
asthmatic son will spend more
time in class after his primary
school was donated dozens of air
purifiers to help “clear the air”.
It comes as residents in Bromley
grapple with the ongoing
“putrid smell” in the area, linked
to both the city council-owned
compost and wastewater treatment
plants.
Extensive criticism has been
laboured at the city council over
the problem, with complaints
about worsening respiratory
symptoms, headaches and mental
health issues.
The Asthma and Respiratory
Foundation NZ has gifted 40
air purifiers to Bromley School,
to help pupils with asthma and
their families.
Some parents began picking
up their purifiers from the
school on Tuesday.
Connor McCallum, 10, has
chronic respiratory symptoms
and autism. His mother Lecia
said she hoped an air purifier
would result in him spending
more time in class.
“He’s more distressed when
he’s wheezy and
worried if he’s
going to be able to
breathe properly,”
she said.
“As a family
it would be nice
not to be tired, Scot Kinley
it would be nice
not to be worried about what
the night will be like, it would
be nice to be able to sleep and it
would be nice to be able to send
him to school.
“Air quality here has been
pretty awful.”
Connor said it was tough for
both him and some of the other
children to cope.
“The smell is bad, not very
good and not very nice.”
Fellow parent Nicole Williams
said her son Bentley had been
absent from school “70 per cent
of this year”.
“He’s really asthmatic. He’s
also had Covid. It’s just crazy,
we’re just constantly at the doctors.
She hoped trips to the doctors
would become less frequent.
“Waking up during the night

hopefully that’ll stop.”
Bromley School principal Scot
Kinley said ongoing air quality
issues had taken a toll on teachers
and pupils.
“Multiple students have been
forced to stay home due to health
issues arising from the foulsmelling
air. It’s simply unacceptable
that our community has
had to put up with this.”
Forty pupils have asthma at
the school, accounting for 10 per
cent of the school roll, Kinley
said.
Christchurch residents are
being asked to decide what they
want to do with their green
waste over the next couple of
years while a new compost plant
is being built, with options
including sending it straight to
the dump or shipping it off to the
North Island.
There were five options out
for public consultation. They
included sending all green waste
to landfill, reducing the amount
processed at Bromley and sending
some to landfill, partially
treating the material at Bromley
and then sending it elsewhere,
or doing all the processing elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the city council is
still negotiating with its insurer
following the catastrophic fire at
the wastewater treatment plant.
The blaze badly damaged the
plant’s two trickling filters in
November 2021, affecting the
quality of effluent flowing into
the system.
Asthma and Respiratory
Foundation NZ chief executive
Letitia Harding said she hoped
the air purifiers would help affected
families.
“Every breath matters,
especially for our children. So
when we learned that students
were struggling with worsening
asthma symptoms because of the
stench, we knew we had to help.
“Managing daily symptoms
is challenging enough for our
children – they should not have
to endure this added burden.”
Harding said the response
from local authorities was also a
factor in the decision to gift the
devices.
“Maybe council needs to move
their offices down into (Bromley)
school for a couple of months
and see how they find it.”

executive resigns
after sexual assault
accusation

• By Katie Harris and
Carolyne Meng-Yee
A SENIOR Canterbury
University student has stepped
down from the student
leadership team after an
allegation of sexual and physical
assault.
The former 2023 student
executive, who is in his fifth year
at law school, allegedly held a
woman by her throat while he
masturbated on her at a party,
a complaint received by the
university’s student association
alleged.
The complainant, a fellow
student, believed if others knew
he was in a position of power
they would be uncomfortable
and it was inappropriate for him
to remain in his position.
The female student said she
still has “nightmares, constant
anxiety and frequent panic
attacks” because of his actions
but felt unable to comment
further.
When the student executive
was approached about the
allegations he said: “I would love
to defend myself publicly, but
this is something I am dealing
with privately and I’m not
comfortable sharing with you,
but I am doing a lot of work on
this.”
Police confirmed they
investigated but charges have not
been laid.
Student association president
Pierce Crowley said the
association cannot provide any
comment on complaints received
for privacy reasons.
“Speaking generally of our
systems, the UCSA takes any
complaints we receive extremely
seriously, and have the safety of
students as a core concern.
“Support is always given in
the event of a complaint of this
nature. We have clear processes,
and stand by the comprehensive
protective systems we have in
place to ensure safety and accountability.”
A Canterbury University
spokesperson said they were unable
to breach the privacy or confidentiality
of private persons,
including enrolled students.
“There is a range of support
available to help students on
campus, and we encourage
students to access these support
services. We have processes in
place to address reports of harmful
behaviour.”
The two students met last
year at a function and began an
on-again, off-again relationship,
which ended this year.
A close friend of the female
student, who doesn’t want to be
named, said in her opinion her
friend’s relationship with the
student executive was toxic.
She claims her friend was
initially attracted to the student
executive because he was older
and gave her validation. The
friend believes their relationship
was erratic and there was a
power imbalance.
“There was always tension and
he became weird and toxic. He
would talk about marriage and
kids, then prey on her insecurities
the next day. They were
sexually exclusive, but it was onagain,
off-again and not ‘loveydovey’.
She isn’t the person I met
a year ago,” the friend said.
Eventually, the young law
student grew tired of the student
executive’s allegedly controlling
behaviour and ended the relationship.
“It wasn’t healthy. She got sick
of things and cut him off,” the
friend claimed.
After the alleged assault the
young student was in shock. The
friend said, “she was there, but
she wasn’t there”.
A different friend who was
with her that night described her
reaction as something akin to
when someone loses a parent.
The friend said she approached
him, “bawling her eyes out, like
the most distressed I’ve ever seen
a human”.
The entire night, he says, she
was “on edge”.
“She’s like a little sister to me.”
A mutual friend of the former
couple says the woman is struggling
and gets triggered when
she sees the man’s car.
“She was scared to sleep
because he might come and find
her.
“He messed with her self–
esteem, she started hating herself
and hating the way she looked,”
he claimed.

COURT 11
Teenager who attacked young girl
gets permanent name suppression
• By Emily Moorhouse
A 17-YEAR-OLD who dragged
a young girl through Barrington
Park before sexually assaulting
her in a public toilet, claiming he
had a knife and would kill her if
she screamed, will keep his name
a secret forever.
He was sentenced in the district
court to five years’ imprisonment
for abduction and sexual
violation.
Judge Mark Callaghan said
name suppression wasn’t usually
granted for this type of offending
but due to the teen’s age and
background which did not get
outlined in court, he found he
qualified for permanent name
suppression.
“I can find that there will be
extreme hardship for you if it becomes
known in prison exactly
what you did,” he said.
The teen sat emotionless in the
dock facing forwards, avoiding
the public gallery where the
victim and her family sat.
The victim’s family opposed
the teen’s name suppression, stating
they were devastated by what
had happened to their daughter.
They said she did not deserve
what had happened to her, nor
did the community, stating all
parents try to protect their children
from anything like this.
On December 3 last year, the
girl was walking to a school to
see friends when she noticed the
teen was following her.
Eventually, the girl left the
school to walk home, and again
This report was produced
by Open Justice – Te Pātītī,
a Public Interest Journalism
initiative funded by NZ on Air
noticed he was following her.
As she approached the gate at
Barrington St, the teen grabbed
her around the neck from behind
and covered her mouth, telling
her he had a knife in his pocket
and if she screamed he would
kill her. He then asked her name
and age.
The teen walked the girl back
across the park while, again,
threatening to kill her with his
knife if she were to move or
scream.
He then dragged her into a
toilet block and closed the door.

The victim managed to
discreetly call 111 by pushing
buttons on her phone.
As the teen tried to remove
her clothing, he noticed her
cellphone operating and he could
hear the call-taker speaking to
her.
He took the phone and ordered
her to undress.
As he started to sexually assault
her, he asked her if it felt
good – she said no. He then
made her perform a sex act on
him.
At one point the victim tried to
pull away and he asked her “did I
tell you to stop?” before threatening
her again with his knife.
The victim then put her hand
in the teen’s pocket and found
that there was no knife present.
He put his arm around her
throat and she pleaded for him
to stop as she was unable to
breathe.
He grabbed her by the hair and
continued the assault. The teen
eventually left the toilet block
– slamming the door behind
him and causing the girl to be
trapped inside.
She suffered a number of
physical injuries including bruising
to her neck, grazes to her
knees and a sore scalp from her
hair being pulled.
In court, the teen’s lawyer
Elizabeth Bulger asked the judge
to grant her client permanent
name suppression given his age
and issues outlined in reports
relating to the teen’s upbringing
which she did not want to discuss
in open court.
Bulger said it “wasn’t in the
public interest” to name him as
people who “need to know who
he is know”.

WILDFLOWERS will be
blooming in more parks and
reserves across the city this
spring after a successful trial was
expanded across the city.
The city council trial, which
has seen wildflowers planted
in public spaces, has now been
expanded to include the parks
and reserves most requested
by residents. More wildflowers
are also set to pop up in garden
beds throughout the city’s
green spaces, said city council
community parks manager Al
Hardy.
He said the flowers provide
colour and benefit insects and
the environment.
“We’re excited to expand
this trial to Christchurch’s
community parks, with three to
four planting areas selected from
each ward,” he said.
“Wildflowers provide habitat
for pollinators and insects,
offering food, shelter, and places
for them to breed.
“There are benefits to the soil
as well, improving its structure
by increasing organic matter
when the vegetation breaks
down.
“Plus, by introducing
wildflowers into our parks and
reserves we can reduce our
carbon footprint by decreasing
our mowing requirements.”
The flowers will help to boost
the bee population by providing

“We will continue with borage,

and we’ve swapped a few
species to make it more appropriate
for Christchurch’s climate.
“This mix will benefit all
pollinators, including bees and

“If the success of this trial
continues, we will retain the
wildflowers in the lawn areas,
resowing as required.”

From the womb to the stage,
twins hit the right note
• By Sasha Watson
18-YEAR-OLD Tane and Aka
Pakeha-Heke have been together
since the womb; now the duo
keep the beat going on stage.
The Shirley Boys High School
students are Twin Harmony,
which won the solo-duo award
at the Smokefree Tangata Beats
national final in Auckland.
“Since we are twin brothers,
and we have been together since
the womb, it’s the type of relationship
that you can’t get from
anyone else,” Tane said.
The twins gained national exposure
five years ago when they
sang at the Government’s criminal
justice summit. The pair
grew up surrounded by domestic
violence, and after losing their
mother at a young age, turned to
music in her honour.
“We love music. The more we
can give the message of no more
violence and we are all in this
together, whānau for whānau,
then we will happily do so no
matter our kaupapa and no matter
what’s going on.”

OPINION
Readers of The Star said a decisive ‘no’ last
week to Mayor Phil Mauger’s view ratepayerowned
assets like Christchurch Airport,
Lyttleton Port Company, Orion and Citycare
should be sold or partly sold to offset rates
increases. It is a U-turn from what Mauger
campaigned on to get elected last year. The
issue of asset sales will be discussed and
potentially voted on by city councillors before
Christmas. Today Mauger explains his position
on the issue, and former mayor Garry Moore
says why assets should not be sold
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Confronting costs v future proofing:
WHEN I was campaigning I
said we should be looking to a 4
per cent rates rise for this year’s
Annual Plan – which I truly
believed was possible at the time.
However, once I became
Mayor and was able to look
further into the city council’s
books, it soon became apparent
this would not be possible. After
a lot of hard work by councillors
and staff, we managed to land on
a 6.4 per cent increase, compared
to 7.7 per cent in Auckland.
In July we began working on
the 2024-2034 Long Term Plan,
which will be finalised in June
2024. This will set next year’s
rates which are currently looking
to rise by 18 per cent. You and
I both know this is totally
unacceptable, especially in a cost
of living crisis.
To reduce this increase, we
must look at all of our options.
One thing we are doing is
conducting an independent
review of the role of
Christchurch City Holdings
Ltd – this had not been done
before. In other words, it is the
first time we are asking whether
we still own the right companies,
whether we own the right
amount of those companies,
whether we are getting the
right return from those
companies, or whether there are
new companies we should invest
in.
The previous council kicked
off this review as it had become
apparent CCHL’s cash return
on investment was only around
2 per cent on nearly 6 billion of
assets.
Out of the 2 per cent return,
CCHL pays the city council
a dividend each year. Over
the next few years, CCHL has
forecasted dividends to the
council of around 50 million.
However, to meet this, they may
have to borrow part of it. This
is not good business in anyone’s
language.
Part of the reason for this is the
debt that CCHL currently holds
from the earthquakes.
After the earthquakes, the city
council had to borrow about $2
billion, which it still owes today.
To put this in perspective, if this
were your mortgage for 15 years
at 4 per cent – very optimistic
terms – then it would cost you
$15 million in payments each
month or about $340 per minute.
‘This does not mean
flogging the silverware,
but it does mean making
sure that Christchurch
City Holdings Ltd is
performing well’
– Phil Mauger
COSTS: A projected rates rise of 18 per cent, coupled with debt from the February 22,
2011 earthquake (below), has Mayor Phil Mauger putting all options on the table.
However, this led the city
council to hit its own borrowing
limit about five years ago. So it
asked CCHL to borrow $440
million to give to the city council
as a special dividend. CCHL
did as asked, but it means it has
debt in the holding company
as well as in the operating
subsidiaries. Total debt across
the whole CCHL group (i.e
the holding company plus the
port, airport, Orion, Enable,
and Citycare) amounts to $2.3
billion.
This level of debt means the
city council and CCHL are both
facing rising interest costs and
a need to repay it. Alongside
insurance premiums going up
and rising inflation causing
some costs to balloon on certain
projects, this leads to a lower
dividend from CCHL to the city
council and a limited ability to
borrow for new investment.
This puts us in a difficult
position. We must get our rate
increase down from an 18 per
cent rise.
This leads to three very hard
questions – does the city council
do less, sell something, or put
rates up 18 per cent?
I know – like you – that 18 per
cent is not possible. So, we must
look at other options rather than
rates rises.
This does not mean flogging
the silverware, but it does
mean making sure that CCHL
is performing well, providing
its services and delivering the
dividends our council needs.
We will continue working on
our draft Long Term Plan before
Christmas. We will also finish
the strategic review for CCHL,
which may end in no changes –
but at least we have looked at that
option.
After that, it is over to you to
have your say on the draft Long-
Term Plan around March next
year.
Together we have some very
hard decisions to make.
I hope this gives you a bit of
insight into the challenges facing
the city council’s books at the
moment. We are working on it,
but like every household right
now, the cost of living means we
must put all options on the table.

The case for and against asset sales
IN OUR front room is a trunk.
It carried my grandfather’s life
possessions across the world to
New Zealand – a reminder of
the risks he took for us to have
a better life than he experienced
in Ireland. He stayed here and
our family flourished. Every
family has the same story with
reminders of where they came
from and why we owe so much
to our ancestors.
It’s the same for our city. Our
forebears handed to us, their descendants,
assets in the form of
parks, roads, footpaths, libraries,
sports fields, support structures
for community groups, etc. They
managed the city council trading
companies well. Our airport,
seaport, lines, and fibre optic
companies.
These assets are held by our
current councillors in trust for
future generations.
When Roger Douglas and
Ruth Richardson encouraged
councils to sell their assets,
Christchurch didn’t. We were

seeking to sell our assets to their
mates. We were labelled “The
People’s Republic of Christchurch”.
Instead, we created a company,
Christchurch City Holdings
Ltd and all trading companies
came under it. Every company
is accountable to the ratepayers
of this city through CCHL. The
city manager and staff had no
say over CCHL. It had its own
staff and reported directly to the
elected city council.
When the sale of CCHL assets
was last promoted the current
city manager, Dawn Baxendale,
lived in the UK and her CFO,
Leah Scales, was at school. As
was the chair of the finance committee,
Sam MacDonald. Their
understanding of a proud city
commitment to asset ownership
appears to be poor.
Over the years the boards of
CCHL kept strict control on
debt. Dividends over the past 10
years have been nearly $1 billion.
When the earthquakes destroyed
our city CCHL companies borrowed
$440 million to assist
city finances. Without CCHL
Christchurch could have been
financially bankrupt. If assets are
sold this debt will have to be paid
back first. An asset can be sold
once. Benefits are short term.
Dividends will cease.
‘These assets
are held by
our current
councillors in
trust for future
generations’
– Garry Moore
Last year Baxendale employed
a consultancy, using $251,000
of our rates, to advise her on
CCHL. This was a breach of the
traditional separation between
the city council executive and
CCHL.
When new councillors met
after last year’s election they were
ambushed by the consultant’s
recommendations and sadly
agreed to them. Councillors
sent Baxendale and a group of
“advisors” away to select new
board members for CCHL. They
recommended four out-of-town
individuals who were approved
by the city councillors.
All families keep a close watch
on costs. The money being spent
by Baxendale and Scales to promote
selling CCHL is enormous.

Each week groups of expensive
experts soft-soap our elected reps
with one goal: Selling CCHL
assets. The consultants’ costs will
be huge.
Selling your house, or whatever
asset is valuable, to have
cash reserves to extravagantly
live your life, is foolish. The
executive at the city council is
behaving like that right now. The
city council unwisely decided to
spend an additional $150 million
on a stadium last year. Now they
are panicking on how to pay for
it. That’s a major driver of the
CCHL sales campaign. Manage
your costs, councillors, not by
selling our heritage.
Governed properly, CCHL
could be extremely powerful.
Christchurch businesses create
wealth, and jobs, trading with
each other and the world. CCHL
can assist this. What about a
CCHL ports authority (seaport,
airport and dataport) promoting
local enterprise and jobs with the
world – growing our economy
and our collective wealth.
Christchurch is a passionate
city. We take pride in our city
assets. When Phil Mauger said in
his election campaign: “You can
take it from me that under my
watch as mayor, I will not be selling
any of these assets,” people
believed him. Phil told us he was
a successful businessman. A successful
businessperson doesn’t
sell assets which can potentially
return significant returns. They
make them work harder.
It’s hard finding out what is
happening behind closed doors
at the city council and CCHL.
Secrecy camouflages something
I suspect will be unacceptable
to the people of this city. If I’m
correct about what is being
discussed behind these doors,
and it’s approved, many of our
elected reps, and the executive
at the city council, will be out on
their ear after the next election.
What we require of our elected
reps is for future generations to
look on them as good ancestors.
Not those who sold our assets
down the river.
Let’s grow our trading
companies. Not sell them. Star
readers are quite correctly angry
this is even being considered
behind closed doors.

Tahlor-made for a big future
• By Jaime Cunningham
JUST OVER a year ago, Tahlor
Cahill’s confidence took a
tumble when he missed out on
the Crusaders under-20s side.
It was a moment Cahill describes
as a “turning point” in
his career.
“When I missed out, it was a
bit of a shock and my confidence
took a hit,” the 20-year-old said.
But since then, the Marist
Albion player has gone from
strength to strength – playing
for the Baby Blacks in the past
two years, training with the
Crusaders and making his
NPC debut for Canterbury this
season.
And it all started with an
unexpected player of the tournament
performance for the
Barbarians in last year’s Super
Rugby under-20 competition.
After training with the
Crusaders under-20s for three
months, Cahill was told he
hadn’t been selected for the tournament
side.
The towering 198cm lock
went on to be named as the
Sir John Graham player of
the tournament following an
unbeaten campaign with the
Barbarians. Past winners include
All Blacks Fletcher Newell and
Luke Jacobson.
“It was definitely wasn’t something
I expected at all,” he said.
“I think (missing out) was
probably a turning point about
how I responded after not making
a team I wanted to make.
“But the Barbarians coaching
group and staff really helped
me play in a way where I could
express myself.”
As a result of the tournament,
Cahill was selected to play for the
New Zealand under-20s in last
year’s Oceania championship.
It was an experience Cahill
believes has been a big part of his
development.
“It’s nice to have been tested
under pressure by the best at
under-20 level,” he said, after
also featuring in the Baby
Blacks’ disappointing world
championship campaign earlier
this year.
The former Shirley Boys’ High
student had a unique rise to agegroup
rugby, deciding to board
at powerhouse school Hamilton
Boys’ High for year 13.
“I wanted to challenge myself
in a broader environment, so I
reached out to them because I
heard about how successful their
programme was.
“But I learnt the most off the
field through the professional attitude
they had towards rugby.”
After spending a year in the
Crusaders Academy, Cahill’s
goal for this season was always to
play for Canterbury.
He has featured six times –
starting in every match but one.
With Blues lock Sam Darry
and Crusader Zach Gallagher
returning to the team after
recovering from injuries, there
has been competition for game

debut in August,

in recent matches.
Said Cahill: “Competition is
always good, and it’s definitely
pushed me.
“For example, having Luke
Romano there, he’s so good and
a great help.”
While Canterbury have had
some mixed results, including
a shock 31-29 loss to Counties
Manukau last Wednesday, Cahill
believes the team can still go all
the way.
“I’ve got 100 per cent belief in
this team.
“There’s so much experience
in the team and I’m so excited to
see what we can achieve.”
And for Cahill, there are no aspirations
to leave red-and-black
country anytime soon.
“Definitely next on my radar is
to play for the Crusaders.
“It’s the franchise I’ve always
looked up to and wanted to play
for.”

and some professionals. Their
four-shot margin over seasoned
Australian professional Mike
Clayton, a winner of eight
events in his career, and Terence
Thornton, was impressive.
Palmer went one better,
winning the women’s individual
event over two rounds with
scores of 86 at Woodlands and 83
at Kingston Heath, well clear of
her rivals.
In the overall scoring,
which included the men and
the women, she placed an
impressive seventh. Lawson,
the Christchurch club course
superintendent, finished a
creditable seventh in the men’s
field.
What made Palmer’s efforts
even more notable was the fact
this was the first time she had
played 18 holes with hickory
clubs. Apart from the 12 holes at
the New Zealand Hickory Open
earlier this year she has only been
playing nine holes.
“During Covid in level two
you could play by yourself and
one day I met Peter Van Ekelen
who was playing with his hickory
clubs,” she said.
“We got chatting. He said that
no women were playing hickory
golf and suggested I should give
it a go. I thought why not and
started playing twilight at the
Christchurch club at the end of
2022.
“I think when you play day
to day it is not hard, especially
for a woman, to pick them up
because you don’t change your
swing too much. It is challenging
and different and that is what I
like. Currently I am just happy
relaxing and playing whenever
and wherever. So it is quite nice
for a change and meeting a new
group of people.”
Palmer has been one of
Canterbury’s leading women
players for some years.

HSOB Light Bears save best for
last with national club title win
• By Jaime Cunningham
WHEN HIGH School Old Boys
looked to field their first-ever
under-85kg team last year, the
goal was to go all the way.
A loss to eventual champions
Southern Bushpigs in an
extra-time thriller prevented
the HSOB Light Bears from
achieving the feat.
But the dream came true on
Saturday when an electric Light
Bears side defeated the Takapuna
Bombers with a convincing 45-
17 win in the National Club
Cup final at North Harbour
Stadium.
Captain Jarred Percival
said it was reward for the
team’s “massive buy-in” to
the campaign.
“Last year we talked about not
wanting to be another number,
we wanted to win the title,” he
said.
While Takapuna competed in
an organised under-85kg competition
throughout the season, the
Light Bears were a combination
of premier, premier reserve, colts
and classic grade players.
As a result, there were times
throughout the campaign where
some of the Light Bears were
playing five games in two weeks.
“It was a massive workload,”
Percival said.
“Everyone sees the end
result, but it was a huge
commitment from the players
and management.
“If you were a colts player, you
had four or five games of rugby
in 14 or 15 days.”
Several of the Light Bears took
the opportunity to play in positions
unfamiliar to them with
both hands, Percival added.
“We had about four guys who
were forwards in the final are
wingers, halfbacks or utility
backs in their Saturday games.
“It started last year when we
had no idea how to play under-
85kg rugby and a few guys put
their hands up and haven’t
looked back.”
Ending the season with a
national title was special for a lot
of the team, who had endured

delight after claiming the

the first time.

heartbreaking losses in Metro
finals earlier this year.
HSOB premiers went down
to Marist Albion 31-26 in July
before the club’s colts suffered
a 31-24 loss to Shirley a month
later.
Both games were an extra incentive
for the Light Bears, who
started Saturday’s match with
obvious fire in their bellies.
Percival led from the front,
kicking for territory several
times in the opening quarter to
ensure the Light Bears put Takapuna
under pressure early.
A red card to Takapuna centre
Nathan Archibald helped HSOB
maintain momentum for the
remainder of the first half, where
at one point they led 26-0.
After the break, the Light
Bears’ showcased their skills
with some creativity on attack,
while fullback George Coull continued
to make frequent breaks.
Although the score closed in to
33-12 at the 53rd minute, a try to
wing Tom Anderson almost immediately
after saw HSOB regain
a 26-point lead.
Reserve wing Ben Scott ended
the final with on a high note for
HSOB by dotting down with 10
seconds to go.
It was the first time many of
the side’s younger players had
won a title, Percival said.
“And to win arguably the
biggest club competition in the
country was very special for our
club,” he added.
The former New Zealand
AFL representative and Mid
Canterbury player has featured
in 160 premier games for HSOB,
but Percival believes the weightrestricted
title is one the best
moments in his career.
“It’s a different game, it’s quite
fast and we definitely saved our
best to last,” he said.
“You don’t think it would be
physical, but when you get 30
guys who are finally the biggest
guys on the field, the confidence
just goes up.”

“I was brought up in
Ashburton. Both mum and dad
played golf. I played all sorts
of sports growing up such as
netball, squash, basketball and
tennis. I really enjoyed tennis
and wish I had kept it up but it
always clashed on Saturday with
golf which I started playing when
I was 12. My parents moved to
near the Ashburton Golf Course,
so I could just walk there to play.
“We had 12 acres and still
have. Dad pulled out all the
fences and mowed the paddocks
to make our own driving range.
So I could hit balls most days.
When I was 15, I played interclub
for Russley.”
She has been playing for
Canterbury for about 10 years.
Canterbury won the New
Zealand interprovincial title in
2015 after a 27-year hiatus. The
team included Palmer, Momoka
Kobori, Amelia Garvey, Hillary
O’Connor and Julianna Hong. It
certainly holds fond memories
for Palmer.
Palmer is having a break from
rep golf this year.
“I will probably get back in to
representative golf eventually.
I just needed a break to enjoy
my weekends. I like to put
the work ethic in on my game
and consistency even if I may
perform well enough to make
the team. I want to know I
deserve to be in the team. I just
didn’t want that commitment
this year.”

the last year Palmer has been
relishing her role as Canterbury
golf participation co-ordinator,
working with junior golf and
the She Loves Golf programme
which introduces women to
playing golf.

CHRISTCHURCH United will
have little time to celebrate their
historic treble feat before they
meet Eastern Suburbs in the
opening round of the National
League on Sunday.
United lifted their third piece
of silverware this season after
edging rivals Cashmere Technical
3-2 in the English Cup final
at the weekend.
It was United’s first English
Cup win since 1991 and followed
their nail-biting Chatham Cup
win against Melville on September
10. They also took out this
year’s Southern League for the
second year in a row.
The lengthy season will continue
with a mouth-watering
clash of two of this year’s club
heavyweights in the first round
of the National League.
United will travel to Madills
Farm, near St Heliers Beach in
Auckland, to take on Eastern
Suburbs a month on from
when the teams last met in the
Chatham Cup semi-final.
Although United went through
the Southern League with one
loss from 18 games, Eastern Suburbs
managed one better, going
through their Northern League
season undefeated for the first
time since 1965. However, they
finished second behind National
League defending champions
Auckland City.
United captain Matt Tod-
Smith will be expected to lead
his team from the front after his
man of the match performance
against Technical on Saturday.
Tod-Smith opened the scoring
in the English Cup clash with a
successful penalty shot late in the
first half to give United a 1-0 lead
at halftime.
However, a strong start to the
second period for Technical was
rewarded when captain Andrew
Storer nailed a free kick into goal
to take the score to 1-1.
Soon after, Tod-Smith managed
to score his second before
Technical subsititute Declan
Tyndall fired a shot in the 78th
minute to level the game again.
With the game nearing the end
of added time, United looked to
be heading into extra-time for
another final. However, United
went clear when Benji Lapslie
scored from a corner with minutes
remaining.
Technical will return to
English Park on Sunday for their
opening clash against Auckland
United.

Canty keeps beavering on

A SUCCESSFUL National
Hockey Championship saw the
Canterbury Beavers continue
their dominance in the tier 2
grade, claiming their third title
in a row on Saturday.
Each of Canterbury’s four
teams took home a medal at the
six-day tournament in Hamilton
last week.
The Beavers beat Northland
2-0 on Saturday to clinch their
sixth national title in the last
eight years.
Jakarta Klebert opened the
scoring for the Beavers in the
17th minute, before Ethan Barton
slotted a field goal late in the
third quarter.
It ended an impressive
campaign for the team who conceeded
just six goals throughout
their seven games.
However, it wasn’t to be for the
Cavaliers and Barracuddas in
their respective finals.
After going down 2-0 to North
Harbour in the first round, the
Barracuddas were unable to
avenge their loss in the women’s
tier 2 final, losing 4-3 on penalty
shootouts.
Goalkeeper Claudia Rowse
was able to prevent North
Harbour’s Ruby Worrall from
finding the back of the net in the
first shot, but a successful four
attempts followed.
Despite the loss, the Barracuddas’
silver-medal finish was a
much-improved performance
from last year, where the team
finished in seventh.
In the men’s tier 1 gold medal
final, the Canterbury Cavaliers
suffered a nail-biting 2-1 loss to
defending champions Otago.
It was a rematch of the two
sides’ clash in the second round,
where Otago prevailed 5-2.
Although Otago secured an
early lead with a field goal in the
first quarter, Stephen Atkinson
was able to convert a penalty
corner shot to tie things up leading
into halftime.
Despite a goal-less third quarter
from both sides, Otago scored
the match-winner in the 48th
minute to complete a perfect run
at the tournament.

Amazing health miracles
from the silkworm
Serrapeptase, an enzyme produced in
silkworms, may become one of the most
widely used natural health solutions for its
ability to replace most anti-inflammatory
drugs and bypass operations. It is nature’s
answer to pain, chronic inflammation and
clogged arteries. Enzymes are essential
for life. Constantly working to build and
regenerate the body, they help digest food,
break down toxins and cleanse the blood,
in addition to thousands of other functions.
A lack of enzymes in the body leads to
food intolerances, allergies, digestive issues,
disease and poor health. Studies show that
an average 70-year-old has only 20 percent
of the enzymes found in the body of a
20-year-old.
Serrapeptase is a natural antiinflammatory
that can clean, clear and
reduce inflammation while dissolving
non-living tissue, including blood clots,
cysts, arterial plaque and mucus. One of its
significant benefits is its ability to reduce
pain.
The serrapeptase enzyme was first found
in the intestine of the silkworm in the late
1960s. The silkworm uses it to dissolve the
hard cocoon, allowing the moth to escape as
well as to digest the tough mulberry leaves it
feeds on. Serrapeptase can now be produced
commercially by fermentation of the
microorganism Serriata E15. Doctors across
Europe and Asia prescribe it.
Over the last 40 years, clinical studies have
shown serrapeptase to have remarkable
benefits in a vast range of health conditions,
Thursday September 21 2023 The Star
including blocked arteries, cardiovascular,
arthritis, asthma, lung conditions, pain,
tumors, autoimmune disease and more.
In Germany, Dr. Hans Nieper clinically
researched serrapeptase and found it could
clear blocked arteries and prevent the need
for bypass operations. U.K. pharmacist
Dennis Gore talked on BBC radio about
his dramatic results with serrapeptase.
One case was a man in his 60s who had
been a heavy smoker and was wheeled into
his pharmacy. He was breathless due to
emphysema and COPD and could hardly
talk. He was on antibiotics and oxygen and
getting nasty infections. Dennis prescribed
him serrapeptase, three weeks later, the
man walked into his pharmacy with no
wheelchair and no breathlessness and said to
Dennis he was no longer on antibiotics nor
oxygen cylinders and was feeling great.
Serrapeptase has been shown to be a
very safe supplement and, according
to researchers, can be used with most
medications. However, let your doctor know
as medications may need to be reduced or
stopped as the need for them reduces.

zoo).
Orana is operated as a registered
charity, relying on gate-takings to operate.
We separately raise 100% of funds for

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN
Sparking imagination
Authentic creative exploration takes skill
to nurture. Who better to do that than
artists themselves?
School holidays at Te Matatiki Toi Ora
The Arts Centre involves local artists,
dancers, circus performers, musicians,
craftspeople and story-tellers, who will
inspire, enthuse and spark the imagination
of tamariki.
The jam-packed programme is too big to
list in full here. Suffice to say, it caters for all
types.
If your creative child would benefit from
spending a chunk of time with like-minded
kids, consider the Creative Day Out for ages
8-13. They’ll spend the day immersed in
art, movement/dance, games, and a special
movie screening.
There’s plenty for the musically inclined,
ranging from making musical instruments
to drumming workshops, and interactive
performances including Music with Michal,
a Skiffle and Junk Band Jam, Superhero
Circus, Drum and Dance, percussion, and
dance shows.
For those who need to move, check out
the circus and theatre workshops at Altiora
in The Gym, now well set up for aerial work
and tumbling (they cater for adults, too!)
Meet and work with artist Priscilla Rose
Howe through SCAPE Public Art. Find out
how Star Wars draws on Ancient Greek
and Roman mythology and go in the draw
for awesome Lego. Plus, plenty of craft
activities, ceramics, stories, classic movies,
unstructured play, and more.

Canterbury Museum’s pop-up
Canterbury Museum’s major five-year
redevelopment is now underway at its
Rolleston Avenue site. While we wait for the
new Museum to open, you can still visit the
Museum pop-up a few blocks away in the
Centre of Contemporary Art Toi Moroki
(CoCA) building at 66 Gloucester Street.
Here, half of the exhibition space is
dedicated to showcasing temporary
exhibitions. These will change a few
times a year to keep things interesting for
returning visitors. Currently running, until
3 December, is Six Extinctions featuring
the life-sized cast of the largest T Rex ever
found.

that kids love to ride, objects from the old
Antarctic Gallery, and rarely displayed
items including exotic taxidermied animals.
At the Museum pop-up, visitors can look
at plans for the redevelopment and get an
idea of what to expect when the Museum
reopens its doors on Rolleston Avenue.
The upstairs exhibition space can be
accessed via stairs or elevator. Downstairs,
you’ll find the CoCA exhibition space,
which showcases modern art made in or
connected to Waitaha Canterbury, as well
as Lux Espresso, brewers of some of the best
coffee in town.

GARDENING
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Lettuce make the most of spring
Vegetables
Take advantage of fine spring
days to sow vegetables.
Frequent hoeing and loosening
of the surface soil helps all crops,
enabling air and warmth to get
into the upper layers of the soil.
Use spring cabbages soon, or
they will run to seed. Cut the
largest heads first. Once a head
has been cut, the plant should
be removed and composted. Left
in the ground, the plants will
continue to draw nutrients from
the soil.
Sow lettuce regularly from
now on, a few at a time, to keep
a regular supply through the
coming months. The best lettuce
plants are those sown where they
are to mature. Thin the seedlings
so those left to mature will
produce a highly developed root
system. Liquid manure helps give
good leaves.
Rhubarb will be starting to
sprout, but leave the early stalks
to mature and water the bed well
in dry weather.
Watch any early potatoes now
pushing through the surface in
areas where frosts might still
occur. Cover with pea straw
or hoe up some soil over them
and, when they become strong,
mound them up.
This month, main-crop
potatoes can be sown with the
LEAFY GREENS: Now is the time to start regularly sowing lettuce, to ensure a plentiful
supply for the months to follow.

dry summer approaching.
Fruit
The season for planting
tomatoes under glass is almost
here. Unless you have the luxury
of a heated glasshouse or a sunny
conservatory that stays warm
overnight, do not be in a hurry
to put in tomatoes. They are a
subtropical plant from lowland
South America.
If buying plants, look for sturdy
specimens about as tall as they
are broad and with mid- to
dark-green leaves. If tomatoes are
grown in the ground, fresh soil
or tomato mix is needed every
year, so growing them in pots or
heavy black plastic bags is more
economical. Do not over-water
until they are well established.
Flowers
Plant pansies and violas.
Regularly remove faded flowers
and seed pods to prolong the
flowering displays, a practice also
invaluable with other annuals and
perennials, such as dahlias, sweet
peas, asters, roses and calendulas.
Dahlias left in the soil during
winter can be lifted and divided
for replanting during the next

can be planted now.
four weeks. Lift clumps of tubers
with a fork and, with a sharp
knife, remove individual tubers,
ensuring each has a large piece
of stem with a sturdy growth bud
attached. Before replanting, add
plenty of compost or well-rotted
stable manure.
Roses should have been pruned
by now. If not, this should be
done as soon as possible or
flowering will be late and blooms
disappointing.
When bulbs grown in pots for
indoor or patio displays have
finished their flowering, plant
them in a corner of the garden to
recuperate. It will probably take
a year or two before they will
flower properly again.

WHY IS A
HOME
INSPECTION
IMPORTANT?
It helps identify already existing or potentially
hazardous conditions and determines the
underlying causes of those hazards.
It helps identify safety hazards, such as an exposed,
live buss bar at the electrical panel.
By identifying the potential problems, associated
costs to rectify the problems can be determined.
Helps you find issues that may hinder your ability to
finance, legally occupy, or insure your home if not
rectified immediately.

Checklist for selling
your home
Make small fixes
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes,
and correct the flaws that are most
egregious (if affordable) or can be
relatively easily fixed—from repairing
cracks in the walkways to repainting
dingy walls or oiling creaky hinges.
Select the best real estate agent
For a commission, an agent will take care
of many details you may not want to be
bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls,
making signs, etc.) and bring experience
to the table. To find a good one, ask
friends and relatives, then interview
several candidates.
Set a price
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the
market. Check out
comparable listings
yourself in the real
estate section of
your newspaper or
on websites. Then
decide whether you
want a quick, easy
sale or the highest
possible price.
Clean & declutter
Weed out excess
throughout furniture, Christchurch
knicknacks, and
“stuff ”—toss it,
M: donate 021 300 it, give 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi
it away, sell it at a garage sale, or put
it into storage—so the house seems
more spacious and buyers can imagine
themselves in it.
Stay vigiliant about maintenance
Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed,
gardens weeded, rooms spotless and
clutter-free.
Ready your home for open days
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh
flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of
cookies for the homey smell, open the
drapes, keep pets out of sight.
Decide whether to do your own
building inspection
It may save you time, especially with
older homes, to identify—and potentially
solve—problems your buyer’s inspection
will discover later.

Rodger Fox presents
The Brotherman Project
Celebrating
THE SEEKERS
60 years from 1963 -2022
KEITH Potger is about to tour New
Zealand with his solo tribute to the group
he helped to form back in 1962. e tribute
covers the songs, the stories and the
inuences that shaped e Seekers in their
rise to international fame.
Celebrating the Seekers is an audiovisual
treat, with rare footage and still
photos of the group.
Keith's 12 string guitar was an integral
part of e Seekers' sound and, being the
arranger of the vocal harmonies, he had a
unique place in the group. During his
performance Keith pays a special tribute to
his colleague and dear friend of 60 years,
the late and great Judith Durham.
Keith is known to countless fans and this
is obvious in the welcome given to him by
audiences that have enjoyed his
performances of Celebrating the Seekers.
is special program contains some
timeless favourites from e Seekers, some
beautiful original ballads from his three solo
CDs and a few hits from the '60s to the '80s
that inuenced the group and appeal to the
generation who grew up playing SEEKERS
albums at home or in the car. roughout
his show, Keith shares stories and amusing
anecdotes from almost 60 years on the
international music scene.
Keith unfailingly delivers up-beat, heartwarming
events that leave audiences reliving
their fondest memories while sharing the
joy that is a hallmark of Keith Potger's solo
Concerts.
Celebrating the Seekers takes place in
Christchurch at the Aurora Centre,
Burnside School on ursday 2nd
November.

THE Rodger Fox Big Band is widely
acknowledged as New Zealand’s leading
exponent of big band music and, over its
long history, has over 90 New Zealand
compositions to its name and has
recorded 76 of these compositions. e
big band has also always extended the
members of the band by working with
some of the jazz world’s greatest artists
including Michael Brecker, Mike Stern and
Kurt Elling. In recent years this has
included collaborations with international
classical artists Michael Houstoun and
Simon O’Neill– Classical meets Jazz – and
the Big Band’s most recent CD release
Reimagined! e Rodger Fox Big Band
plays Sir Dave Dobbyn.
e Big Band would now like to
further extend the concept by curating a
project that brings together the Aotearoa-
New Zealand hip-hop sound with that of
the Rodger Fox Big Band.
‘e Brotherman Project’ is a project
that infuses the modern big band sound
with that of Aotearoa-New Zealand Hiphop.
is would be achieved by blending
the sound of the Rodger Fox Big Band
with that of iconic New Zealand hip-hop
artists King Kapisi and special guests.
King Kapisi (Bill Urale) was the rst
hip-hop artist in New Zealand to receive
the prestigious Silver Scroll Award at the
APRA Awards for Songwriter of the Year
for his single Reverse Resistance in 1999.
King Kapisi's music and lyrics raise issues
relevant to Pacic Island people living in
New Zealand. King Kapisi keeps his music
‘real’ by rapping about his Pacic heritage
and the hip-hop scene. He uses hip-hop to
promote the message of ‘keeping it real’
through your culture, learning your
language, and knowing ‘where you are
from’.
Innovation in New Zealand arts is
project is highly innovative with the
collaboration between two well-known
musicians from hip-hop, pop and jazz.
Each of the arrangers will have taken a
composition of King Kapisi and will be
creating a work for Big Band and voice
that evokes the spirit and emotion of the
original music but taking it on a new
journey. It will have a distinctly Kiwi
avour and the music will combine the
driving rhythms and big band sound with
the evocative and descriptive music of e
Rodger Fox Big Band and the hip hop
sounds of King Kapisi.
e Rodger Fox Big Band feat. King
Kapisi with special guest Erna Ferry takes
place at e Piano on Armagh St as part
of the Christchurch Big Band Festival on
Sunday 22nd October. Tickets on sale now

BE PART
OF THE
ACTION
AT THE 2024 NEW ZEALAND
MASTERS GAMES
Masters
Games faithful
Suzanne
Arthur, of
Dunedin,
takes aim in
the Masters
Smallbore
Shooting, an
event she has
back-to-back
gold medals in.
The Otago Community Trust
New Zealand Masters
Games are back and
they’re bigger than ever!
The 35th annual Masters
Games will be held in Ōtepoti
Dunedin from February 3-11,
with an estimated 5,000+
people set to come together to
enjoy Aotearoa's largest annual
multi-sport event.
There are more than 60 sports
on offer during the Games and
there are new events to try
in 2024, including Pickleball,
Jigsaw Racing and Cowboy
Action Shooting. All sports are
open to people with disabilities
and some selected sports also
have para categories, such as
Archery, Athletics – Track and
Field, Petanque, Cornhole,
Darts, Power Lifting, Indoor
Rowing, Swimming and Indoor
Triathlon.
The goal of the Games is to
encourage participation in sport,
no matter your age or ability,
says New Zealand Masters
Games Manager Vicki Kestila.
“You don’t need to qualify
or be an elite athlete to enter.
You just have to be the right
minimum age for your particular
event and be keen to have a
go. We have participants aged
18 to 96 and beyond – some
are competitive and out to win
medals but others are there to
catch up with friends and enjoy
the social side of things.”
Back by popular demand, the
University Union will once more
host the Games Hub, where
“I KEEP COMING BACK
BECAUSE OF HOW FUN
IT IS AND BECAUSE
I GET TO DO SPORTS
THAT I WOULDN’T
NORMALLY DO.”
- NEW ZEALAND MASTERS GAMES
PARTICIPANT SUZANNE ARTHUR
participants can get together
for activities and entertainment,
including a full programme of
live music each evening.
Masters Games faithful
Suzanne Arthur has competed in
all seven Games held in Dunedin
since 2006 and plans to be one
of the first to sign up for 2024.
“I keep coming back because
of how fun it is and because I
get to do sports that I wouldn’t
normally do. Over the years
I’ve done Wine Tasting, Sports
Accuracy, Cornhole, Twilight
400, Social smallbore shooting,
Pentanque and Bowls. I’ve won
medals in quite a few events as
well.”
“If anyone is thinking about
signing up for a sport I say
definitely give it a go. I
encouraged my husband to join
and he got a gold medal in his
first event!”
Masters Games faithful Suzanne Arthur,
of Dunedin, and her husband Dean with
the gold medals they won in the Sports
Accuracy event at the 2020 Games.
Entry Fee Options

2024 New Zealand Masters
