Iconic Kingswood<br />

back in the game<br />

IT WAS the VIP car of<br />

choice during the 1974<br />

Commonwealth Games in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

And now one of the<br />

distinctive Holden Kingwoods<br />

will be part of the Santa Parade<br />

in New Brighton on Saturday.<br />

The Kingswood is the New<br />

Brighton Museum’s showpiece<br />

in the parade, which starts at<br />

10.30am.<br />

Museum president Wayne<br />

Hawker said the vehicle is “the<br />

jewel in their crown”.<br />

“After the games, the<br />

Kingswoods were sold off. This<br />

particular vehicle was bought<br />

by the Freakish family and has<br />

been owned by the same family<br />

ever since.<br />

“While its owner, Clint, is<br />

In the run-up to the 50th<br />

anniversary of the 1974<br />

Commonwealth Games,<br />

New Brighton Museum is<br />

showing off their star piece<br />

at Saturday’s Santa Parade.<br />

based in Nelson, parents Paul<br />

and Heather care for the car<br />

which is based here.”<br />

The parade will take place on<br />

the corner of Marine Pde and<br />

Hawke St, alongside the seaside<br />

market which opens at 10am.<br />

Wright:<br />

“We are<br />

aiming to<br />

have all the<br />

civil works<br />

completed by<br />

the end of this<br />

week (subject to<br />

weather).<br />

“Work remaining includes<br />

Stephen<br />

Wright<br />

upgrades to the traffic signals,<br />

finishing footpaths, installing<br />

tactile pavers and line marking.”<br />

Improvements completed so far<br />

include safe speed platforms on<br />

each approach of the intersection,<br />

upgrading cycle lanes, adding<br />

new kerbs, channels and traffic<br />

islands, prepping the road<br />

shoulders and footpaths for<br />

A Cartoonist’s Life<br />

by Mason Ball<br />

The long-awaited biography of cartoonist Murray Ball, creator of Footrot<br />

Flats In Murray Ball: A Cartoonist’s Life, Murray’s son Mason Ball shares<br />

all the hits and misses and long years of hard graft that went into what<br />

would become the wildly successful creative enterprise: Footrot Flats.<br />

Ferrymead<br />

From his unique viewpoint and with candid honesty, Mason reveals the<br />

real-life backstory to Murray’s most iconic characters and themes, telling<br />

the story of the man - and father - who could see the quirks of human<br />

nature and capture them with the stroke of a pen. Richly illustrated<br />

with family photos and cartoons by the bloke who brought us that most<br />

lovable character, the Dog.<br />

The Woman in Me<br />

by Britney Spears<br />

The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about<br />

freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope. In June 2021, the<br />

whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The<br />

impact of sharing her voice her truth was undeniable, and it changed<br />

the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in<br />

Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey and the strength at<br />

the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. Written<br />

with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s grou¬ndbreaking book<br />

illuminates the enduring power of music and love and the importance of<br />

a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.<br />

New look for busy intersection<br />

• From page 1<br />

The need for safety<br />

improvements followed a total<br />

of 36 crashes at the intersection<br />

between 2010 and 2019, which<br />

included 12 injury crashes with<br />

four people being seriously<br />

injured.<br />

The main causes of the crashes<br />

have been red light running,<br />

right-turning traffic failing to<br />

give way and right-angle<br />

crashes.<br />

Wright said the city council<br />

hasn’t received any formal<br />

feedback about the construction<br />

work as yet.<br />

“We have communicated with<br />

local residents before and during<br />

the construction works to ensure<br />

they retain access to their homes<br />

and are notified of any work<br />

late in the evening/through the<br />

night.<br />

“We’ve provided start<br />

works notices (SWNs) and a<br />

construction update to explain<br />

what the work involves, and what<br />

the impacts will be throughout<br />

construction.”<br />

The project will cost<br />

approximately $660,000 and<br />

is being funded through the<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />

Acceleration Facility.<br />

The purpose of this fund is to<br />

deliver transport projects that<br />

will improve liveability and<br />

support regeneration across<br />

Museum gears up for Santa parade<br />

• From page 1<br />

There will be an array of arts<br />

and crafts, as well as gift-ware<br />

to choose from alongside food,<br />

a bouncy castle for children and<br />

free face painting.<br />

Santa will arrive on New<br />

Brighton Beach at 10.15am and<br />

at about 11.30am, the market entertainment<br />

will begin until the<br />

closure of the event at 2pm.<br />

There is the chance for children<br />

to meet and sit with Santa for<br />

family photos, for a gold coin<br />

donation.<br />

Santa will also be available at<br />

the museum at 8 Hardy Street<br />

for the three<br />

weekends left of<br />

<strong>December</strong>, from<br />

1 to 4pm.<br />

The Holden<br />

its original condition<br />

(upholstery,<br />

BIG CHANGES are getting<br />

underway for New Brighton.<br />

The former Westpac building<br />

is currently being demolished to<br />

make way for a new pedestrian<br />

walkway, with the hope of<br />

bringing more foot traffic into<br />

the mall.<br />

Coastal Ward city councillor<br />

Celeste Donovan said the<br />

building was purchased by the<br />

city council as part of the Oram<br />

Ave extension<br />

project, and was<br />

going to schedule.<br />

“It’s going<br />

to create a<br />

pedestrian<br />

corridor into the<br />

mall. And what<br />

that means is Celeste<br />

that you’ll have Donovan<br />

more people<br />

coming in to the mall and as<br />

the rest of the development goes<br />

our museum’s display will be<br />

painted on to door magnets,”<br />

said Hawker.<br />

The museum’s Commonwealth<br />

Games display will run from<br />

January 13-28 and will feature<br />

the Kingswood alongside a log<br />

ahead, hopefully that’s starting<br />

next year, then you’re going to<br />

see quite a different pedestrian<br />

book that logs where each car<br />

went and with whom at the<br />

games.<br />

Said museum secretary<br />

Peg Butterfield: “We asked<br />

for . . . memorabilia from the<br />

Commonwealth Games in<br />

mall, which is going to be pretty<br />

fantastic.”<br />

Donovan said once completed,<br />

1974, and now we have a great<br />

collection, so we promise an<br />

amazing display.”<br />

Also on display will be a<br />

will condense New Brighton’s<br />

commercial core from 11ha<br />

to four, meaning fewer vacant<br />

buildings and the existing spaces<br />

being put to better use.<br />

“Mid to late next year, I think<br />

you should see some quite<br />

significant transformation. So<br />

it’s just the beginning. But I<br />

think you’re going to see what<br />

I think is the next chapter of<br />

the New Brighton Mall being<br />

a destination for the rest of the<br />

city, and it’ll be a great place for<br />

locals to visit as it already is.”<br />

She said they will look to<br />

activate the site early next year<br />

with landscaping and murals.<br />

Further design work for the<br />

mall is under way with plans<br />

scheduled to go to community<br />

consultation next year.<br />

Demolition work is hoped to<br />

be completed by Christmas.<br />

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE TEAM AT<br />

HOUSE OF TRAVEL MERIVALE-SHIRLEY<br />

YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL EXPERTS<br />

BREAKING NEWS<br />

We are excited to announce that we are re-opening our House of Travel<br />

Shirley store on the 5th of February in a new location: 436 Prestons Road,<br />

Marshland (near the Black & White Coffee shop). So, please pop in to see<br />

us and meet our new consultants. We can’t wait to be back, and we wish<br />

you all a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.<br />

Nicky, Lisa and team<br />

HOUSE OF TRAVEL MERIVALE AND HOUSE OF TRAVEL PRESTONS<br />

At House of Travel nationwide we have had a very busy year, and we are back to 2019 levels<br />

of enquiry and more New Zealanders than ever are keen to venture abroad and explore<br />

new destinations. You can explore the latest deals via our House of Travel website and<br />

join up to receive our weekly email specials and inspiration. Airlines and other suppliers<br />

are running at capacity, and this has meant prices have remained on the high side and<br />

availability can often be very stretched and limited. Our advice is that if you have a holiday<br />

on the horizon but have not booked yet then please get in touch as soon as possible.<br />

HERE ARE SOME HOT TIPS FOR BOOKING TRAVEL...<br />

• Book as early as you can especially if you are travelling at peak times, such as<br />

school holidays, Christmas, Easter OR high season to Europe (June, July, August).<br />

For school holidays, to ensure you get the resort you want we recommend you<br />

book about one year ahead.<br />

• Bring us your ideas – write down your wish list or put together a spreadsheet.<br />

It is best to give us the big picture of your holiday so we can maximize the airfares<br />

and ensure the holiday is planned in a logistical manner to avoid back tracking and<br />

unnecessary costs.<br />

• Don’t panic if you see “last room” or “limited space” on a website. Often suppliers<br />

like hotels will spread their inventory so it is not often a true indication of real<br />

availability.<br />

• We have suppliers that we use around the world that are tried, tested, and trusted.<br />

Please be careful with booking direct. In some situations, if the business did not<br />

honour your payments OR go into liquidation, unless they are NZ registered<br />

businesses then you may not be covered by the NZ Consumer Guarantee Act.<br />

• Many online agents are literally this – online. So, that means they do not have an<br />

office you can pop into NOR do you really have an oversight to their reliability<br />

and support.<br />

• We are a one stop shop travel provider– we can literally book almost anything<br />

for you so just ask and we will do our best to source everything you need.<br />

• Make an appointment to come in and sit down with one of our experienced<br />

team – face to face chats are much better than an email and we can ask<br />

questions that help with our responses.<br />

• Bring in your passports, even if they are not valid. Having the correct spelling<br />

of names is crucial.<br />

Start a new<br />

Christmas tradition<br />

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories<br />

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community.<br />

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year<br />

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of<br />

your favourite carols and songs – play it<br />

loud and every day, if that’s your thing.<br />

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along<br />

evening – don’t forget to supply the song<br />

sheet so everyone can join in too.<br />

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting<br />

together with family or friends to help<br />

decorate each other’s houses – turn up<br />

the music, drink the wine and go all out<br />

to deck the halls.<br />

3. Make and send homemade Christmas<br />

cards – there’s nothing more exciting<br />

than getting mail, right? Or how about<br />

writing some generic ones and dropping<br />

them into your nearest retirement<br />

home to brighten up an elderly person’s<br />

Christmas.<br />

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or<br />

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t<br />

forget to take a family selfie.<br />

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap<br />

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest<br />

community gift tree – check with your<br />

local library and label with age and<br />

gender.<br />

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour<br />

outdoor games night with drinks and<br />

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess,<br />

or croquet.<br />

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional<br />

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood,<br />

date.<br />

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies<br />

and tick off the ones you’ve watched.<br />

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot<br />

chocolate or nibbles and wine.<br />

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s<br />

Christmas tree will be covered with<br />

beautiful, handmade memories.<br />

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on<br />

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning<br />

to drink while the presents are being<br />
