Quake-hit home delivers 

major surprise at auction 

AN ABANDONED earthquake 

damaged property bordering 

a golf course has sold for $1.01 

million at auction – $160,000 

above the on-market price. 

The Bower Ave property, alongside 

Waimairi Beach Golf Club in 

Parklands, was marketed as being 

in “as is, where is” condition. 

Bayleys listing agent Shaun 

Creek told OneRoof a family 

member had been looking after 

the property as best he could 

since the owners departed for 

Japan 14 years ago. 

He said the four-bedroom 

house would have been amazing 

when it was first built in the 

1970s, but had lost its shine. The 

decor was dated, the in-ground 

swimming pool was littered 

with branches and leaves and 

the quakes had caused structural 

damage. 

But that didn’t put off the nine 

bidders – a mixture of developers 

and renovators, OneRoof 

reported. 

The auction opened at 

$600,000 and the house was 

announced on the market at 

$850,000. A couple who plan 

to renovate the house made the 

winning bid, beating a developer 

in the final minutes of the 

auction. 

Creek said the new owners had 

ambitions to live in the house. 

“They have plans to restore 

the home, which is pretty cool. 

DAMAGED: The 

abandoned house on 

Bower Ave still features 

some of the original, dated 

decor. The in-ground pool 

has been decommissioned 

and is full of garden debris. 

It should be quite stunning to 

watch that progress. The underbidder 

was looking at it more as 

a development opportunity,” he 

told OneRoof. 

Creek said the vendors had 

wanted to get fair market value 

for the house and that’s exactly 

what they got. 

“We had no idea it was going to 

sell for that much and neither did 

the owners, but clearly for these 

guys, it was at value at that level.” 

He said there was nothing else 

like it in the area. 

“It’s always been a home that’s 

captured people’s attention. 

There are some good sales in 

the suburb but nothing comparable 

to this when it comes to 

land size.” 

Most homes in Parklands are 

on sections of around 600sq 

m and usually sell for between 

$800,000 and $1m. The Bower 

Ave house is on a 2000sq m section 

bordering the golf course. 

“This was one out of the 

box, which was exciting. It was 

a really interesting one. The 

owners needed it sold, it was 

going to be sold,” Creek told 

OneRoof.

Positive progress in renewal project 

Coastal Side 

Celeste Donovan 

Coastal Ward city councillor 

Celeste Donovan looks at 

what is happening in New 

Brighton 

NEW BRIGHTON’S regeneration 

is continuing to gain momentum, 

driven by a combination of 

private, community, and councilled 

projects. 

Years of targeted economic 

development and anchor 

urban renewal projects led by 

ChristchurchNZ, have brought 

renewed optimism to the coastal 

suburb, beginning with key 

initiatives like the beachside 

playground and the awardwinning 

He Puna Taimoana hot 

pools. 

Building on this foundation, 

Martini Investments is redeveloping 

12 buildings over 8000sq m at 

the seaside end of Brighton Mall, 

transforming it into an entertainment 

and hospitality precinct. 

Southpaw Brewery is relocating 

to the Pierside Development, adding 

another hospitality highlight 

to the area, with the brewery’s 

fit-out set to begin soon. 

Significant progress is 

happening in the housing sector 

with the second stage of the Te 

Pākau Maru development now 

under way. This includes the first 

GOING UP: Construction has started on the second stage of 

the Te Pākau Maru housing development site and will include 

25 Homestar 7 sustainability homes. 

HOSPITALITY: Southpaw Brewery is relocating its business to the Pierside Development, 

with work on the fit-out to begin soon. 

stage of the project, 25 Homestar 

7 sustainability homes which are 

nearly complete. 

The developer has also secured 

funding from the Ministry of 

Pacific Peoples to assist five Pasifika 

families through the Tangata 

Atumotu Trust’s progressive 

home ownership programme, 

encouraging further retail and 

community investment in the 

area. 

In a move to transform 

underused spaces, Life in 

Vacant Spaces (LiVS) has been 

appointed to manage the Greater 

New Brighton ‘Village Green’ 

Project. 

This initiative will turn 1000sq 

m of vacant land near the new 

hospitality precinct into a vibrant 

community hub with market 

stalls, food trucks, and event 

spaces. 

The area’s retail revitalisation 

is further supported by the 

City Vacant Differential Rate, 

introduced in 2024 to encourage 

the development of run-down 

sites. Of the 13 vacant properties 

identified, five have already made 

changes, while six remain liable 

for the rate. 

The suburb has also secured 

significant funding through 

the 2024-2034 Long-Term 

Plan, including $4 million for 

upgrading New Brighton Mall 

and $15m for the Oram Avenue/ 

North-South extension. 

With funding confirmed, onsite 

investigations will guide the 

next stage of the mall’s design. 

Progress has already been made 

on the pedestrian walkway and 

community space as part of the 

interim plan. 

Additionally, $63.365m has 

been allocated for renewing 

the Pages Rd Bridge, with signs 

looking positive for up to half the 

cost being subsidised through 

the National Land Transport 

Plan – a major win for ratepayers 

and the eastern suburbs. 

New Brighton is evolving into 

a thriving community, thanks 

to a strong partnership between 

local businesses, community 

groups, ChristchurchNZ, and the 

council, all working together to 

bring new life and opportunities 

to the suburb.

SEPTEMBER 

The Hidden Girl by Lucinda Riley & Harry Whittaker 

A breathtaking new story from the international #1 bestselling author of the Seven 

Sisters series. Sweeping across two generations, from the ghettos of Europe during 

the Second World War to the enclaves of New York’s Fifth Avenue, The Hidden Girl 

traces the life of Leah Thompson, who rises from humble beginnings in rural Yorkshire 

to take the modelling world by storm. But her fateful association with the Delancey 

family dominates her life. The secrets they hide from one another start to explode into 

nightmares of thwarted ambition, forbidden love, revenge and murder ... culminating 

in a fatal, forgotten prophecy from the past. This title was previously published as 

Hidden Beauty by Lucinda Edmonds, and has been rewritten and reimagined by her 

son, Harry Whittaker, for Lucinda Riley fans the world over.

Bellringers group seeks recruits

• By Geoff Sloan 

A GROUP of musicians are on 

a mission to keep the dying art 

of bell-ringing alive. 

The Christ Church Cathedral 

Handbell Ringers is looking for 

new members to pass on their 

skills and knowledge to, and 

ensure the next generation can 

still enjoy the art. 

Handbell ringers captain 

Andrew Cox said the hobby 

combines music, exercise, and 

teamwork. 

“We all like music and it’s 

something that’s unique – so 

unique – and we just enjoy 

playing.” 

The playing of modern handbells 

can be traced back to the 

17th century. 

“It originated from tower 

bellringers, when they used to 

practice in the winter and the 

evenings,” Cox said. 

“The church would be cold, 

so they worked on handbells 

and they could sit in the pub 

with a jug of beer in one hand 

and a bell in the other, and away 

they go.” 

He said the group used to 

have 11 members but it has now 

dwindled to five. 

“We shut down during 

Covid-19 for about 12 months, 

and we’ve never been able to 

ANCIENT ART: The Christ Church Cathedral Handbell Ringers are on the hunt for 

new members.

pick up the full number since.” 

Before the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes, the bellringers 

regularly practiced at 

Christ Church Cathedral. 

They restarted again after their 

bells were recovered from the 

rubble. 

“It’s looking a bit bleak at the 

moment,” Cox said. 

“If only we could get another 

three or four more players, that 

would make all the difference.” 

He said there is no religious 

element to the group, all you 

need to be a potential member 

is a basic knowledge of music 

and the will to keep the art 

alive.

Paralympian shares celebration with Ryman 

ALISON SMITH’S sharp 

shooting instincts memorably 

took her to the Big Apple to 

compete successfully for an air 

rifle bronze model in the 1984 

Paralympic Games. 

Four decades on, in the same 

year Ryman is celebrating its 

40th anniversary, Alison, a 

bronze medallist, has been 

keeping a close eye on the Paris 

2024 Paralympic Games along 

with fellow residents at Ryman’s 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village in 

Mairehau. 

For Alison, it was a memorable 

games, not least for seeing 

President Ronald Reagan 

officially opening the New 

York event supported by heavy 

security, she remembers. More 

than three years earlier, in March 

1981, Reagan was the target 

of an assassination attempt 

by John Hinckley Jr outside 

the Washington Hilton. 

Alison remembers that at the 

games, Reagan remained within 

a very tight protective cordon. 

“The big excitement was the 

President of the United States was 

arriving via helicopter to open 

the games. 

“I had never seen so many 

policemen, and snipers on top of 

the buildings. Four helicopters 

arrived, hovering over the 

stadium. Eventually one landed 

and out hopped Ronald Reagan 

along with his entourage,” she 

says. 

“A lot of us had never seen 

anything like that . . . looking 

around and seeing all these guys 

in dark clothing with their rifles 

at the ready.” 

While Alison was competing in 

New York, back in Christchurch, 

Ryman co-founders Kevin 

Hickman and John Ryder were 

laying the foundations for what 

would become a network of 40 

villages across New Zealand and 

eight in Victoria, Australia. 

On September 19, Alison, 

along with fellow residents, will 

be celebrating Ryman’s 40th 

anniversary at special events 

being held at each village. 

Alison is now enjoying life in a 

townhouse and watching events 

in Paris on TV. Other residents 

are well aware of her Paralympic 

efforts, especially with the 2024 

games taking place. 

There were lots of other 

highlights from the 1984 trip to 

the USA. 

She and other Kiwi competitors 

were provided accommodation 

at Hofstra University campus in 

Hempstead, New York. 

NEED REPAIRS 

ON YOUR 

CAR? 

SHARP SHOOTER: Diana Isaac Retirement Village resident 

Alison Smith shows off the air rifle bronze medal she won at 

the 1984 Paralympic Games. 

The accommodation was by 

no means up to the standard of 

paralympics today, but Alison has 

no regrets about travelling such 

distances and making the most of 

the facilities available at the time. 

“When I went it was pretty 

basic,” she laughs. 

“For transport they took the 

seats out of one of the yellow 

school buses and of course you 

weren’t wearing seat belts or that 

sort of thing, so you sort of held 

on for grim death.” 

Alison is the first and only 

female shooting para athlete to 

date to have represented New 

Zealand at a Paralympic Games. 

She won bronze in the women’s 

air rifle integrated category. 

Alison said every four years 

the Paralympics are a reminder 

of her mid-80s adventure, 

particularly the accommodation 

and transport to the venue, 

though obviously times have 

changed. 

She remembers travelling 

alongside two other Kiwi 

paralympians, athlete Michael 

O’Callaghan and field eventer 

Denise Cook, to and from the 

events. She remains in regular 

contact with both. 

Alison got into air rifle 

shooting via the Canterbury 

Paraplegic Association, starting 

first in archery, training with 

disabled athlete Neroli Fairhall. 

Then in the late 1970s she joined 

in with a memorable ‘games 

night’. 

One of the air rifle tutors that 

night at the Ollivers Rd rugby 

league hall, Len Smith, later 

became her husband. 

Winning the bronze medal of 

course meant a phone call home 

to New Zealand, to share her 

incredible news with her parents, 

brother and three sisters. 

In those days the games were 

only set up for paraplegic and 

quadriplegic competitors rather 

than those with a much wider 

range of disabilities. 

“I competed in a threepositional 

shoot competition: 

prone, kneeling, and standing, 

all from the wheelchair. It was 

60 shots in each position … 

I proudly came home with a 

bronze medal,” Alison says. 

In 1984, another competitor 

was Graham Condon who 

helped source a wheelchair from 

Healing Industries at a discount 

for Alison, to make her sporting 

achievements easier. 

Alison is upfront about her life. 

She was born on September 13, 

1950, minus her right leg, from 

the hip, and the left, from the 

upper third of the thigh, starting 

life with artificial limbs. 

Recently, Alison was proud to 

be recognised as New Zealand’s 

No. 53 Paralympian.

Centuries-old folk remedy 

supports good health! 

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of 

powerful health benefits. It is none other than the popular 

apple cider vinegar or ACV. Since the time of Hippocrates 

– the “Father of Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for 

its curative properties. 

In his famous book “ARTHRITIS & FOLK MEDICINE,” 

DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he found that Vermonters 

who regularly consumed ACV & Honey had excellent 

health, with many putting in a vigorous day’s work on the 

farm even when well into their eighties. Jarvis also noted 

the effects of ACV & H on arthritis to be remarkable, with 

many patients reporting almost total relief after taking a 

course of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and 

potassium in cider vinegar counteracted calcium deposits 

and helped the body control calcium use. Jarvis also 

noted that Vermonters who consumed ACV & H around 

mealtime had excellent blood pressure and circulation. 

He found that protein foods thickened the blood and 

vinegar thinned it. As the blood thickens, it cannot pass 

easily through the blood vessels and capillaries. This 

poor blood flow would reduce cellular health by limiting 

nutrients to the cells and eliminating waste from the cells. 

The body naturally increases blood pressure to prevent 

cellular damage, which puts more stress on the blood 

vessels, organs, and the heart. Having ACV & H with 

meals will help avoid protein-raising blood pressure. It also 

contributes to a feeling of greater well-being because the 

thinner blood circulates quickly & more easily through the 

blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular consumption of CV 

& H to be an excellent health tonic with numerous health 

attributes. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the goodness 

of the apple in a form that is readily accepted by the body. 

Good health starts with good digestion and assimilation 

of nutrients. ACV taken before food will stimulate and 

promote healthy digestion and assimilation of vital 

nutrients for good health. A well-functioning digestive 

system helps prevent disease by neutralising toxic 

substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note that not all ACV is produced 

traditionally, and results are likely to prove disappointing 

with some other cider vinegar. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV with 20% Manuka 

Honey, a Canterbury product, is produced traditionally 

from organic whole apples. It is double strength, ensuring 

you can use less. This unique product is recommended for 

its traditional production and double strength, offering a 

unique health tonic that stands out.

Natural Therapy, located at 101 Seaview Road,

Enviro Master helping 

Cantabrians 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when 

it comes to choosing the perfect heat 

pump or air conditioning system for 

their home or office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, 

qualified electricians, heating and 

refrigeration engineers, help to supply 

and install one of Christchurch’s 

widest range of heat pumps including 

Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin 

and Fujitsu. Because they have no 

affiliation with any one brand, you can 

be assured their advice on the benefits 

and differences between each product is 

unbiased. 

They will recommend the most 

energy-efficient and cost-effective system 

for your individual situation, and will 

have you regulating the heat in your 

home or office in no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often 

wanting whole home solutions to be 

able to maintain even temperatures 

throughout the home both in Winter 

and Summer. This can be achieved by 

using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in 

designing, installing and commissioning 

these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy offering 80 per cent 

of the cost of a new heat pump up to 

$3000 including GST. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer 

Kiwi Homes initiative and is available 

to Home owner/occupiers with a 

Community Services Card, a SuperGold 

combo card or who live in a low-income 

area as determined by deciles 8-10 on 

the New Zealand Deprivation Index.

Enjoying the benefits 

of prior preparation 

The best meals are ones 

you can prepare in advance, 

writes Nigel Slater 

THERE ARE PLUMP, crumb-coated 

croquettes of peas and tarragon waiting 

to pop into sizzling oil and slices of 

potato, partly cooked and ready to toast 

under the grill. The pea croquettes will 

sit on a tangle of pea shoots and herbs. 

The potatoes will get a sauce of sweet, 

golden onion, curry paste and yoghurt. 

Both are the sort of recipes you can 

prepare in advance, leaving only the 

cooking to the last minute. 

Grilled potatoes with curry 

yoghurt sauce 

Serves 4. Ready in 45 minutes 

Ingredients 

400g potatoes, medium-sized 

30 curry leaves 

1 large onion 

3 Tbsp ground nut vegetable oil, plus a 

little extra 

1-2 Tbsp mild curry paste 

250ml yoghurt 

Method 

• Bring a deep pan of water to the boil, 

then salt it generously. Peel the potatoes, 

then add them, whole, to the water. 

Let them cook for about 15 minutes or 

until they are tender enough to pierce 

easily with a metal skewer. Remove the 

potatoes from the water and set aside to 

cool a little. 

• Warm the oil in a shallow pan, 

scatter in half the curry leaves, fry for a 

minute or two until almost crisp, then 

remove from the pan with a draining 

spoon and set aside. 

• Peel the onion, slice it thinly, then 

stir it into the remaining oil in the 

shallow pan. Let it cook over a low to 

moderate heat for 15 minutes or so, 

stirring from time to time, until soft and 

pale gold. 

• Line a baking sheet with kitchen foil 

and preheat an overhead (oven) grill. Cut 

the potatoes into slices, each roughly the 

thickness of a couple of $1 coins. Place 

them flat on the baking sheet. Brush 

each slice with a little groundnut or 

vegetable oil, then season lightly with 

salt and cook under the preheated grill 

until they start to colour. 

• Scatter the remaining curry leaves 

into the onion and let them cook for a 

minute or two. When they darken, stir 

in the curry paste. Continue cooking for 

a couple of minutes until the onion is 

coated with the paste and very fragrant, 

then stir in the yoghurt and remove 

from the heat. 

• When the potatoes are golden and 

sizzling, serve with the curry sauce and 

scatter with the reserved curry leaves. 

Pea and wasabi croquettes 

with pea shoots 

Makes 8, serves 2. Ready in 30 minutes, 

plus chilling time 

Ingredients 

500g shelled peas, fresh or frozen 

15g tarragon 

2-3 tsp wasabi paste 

40g butter 

2 egg yolks 

40g breadcrumbs, dry, white such as 

panko 

To coat and fry: 

2 eggs 

4 large handfuls of breadcrumbs 

vegetable or groundnut oil to shallow fry 

To serve: 

a handful of pea shoots, mint and 

coriander 

a little olive oil 

a little lemon juice 

Method 

• Put a deep pan of water on to boil 

and salt it lightly. When it is boiling, tip 

in the peas and let them cook for about 

4 minutes, a little longer for fresh peas, 

then drain them. Strip the tarragon leaves 

from their stems. You will end up with 

about 10g. 

• Tip the cooked peas into the bowl of 

a food processor and reduce to a thick 

purée, then add the tarragon leaves and 

the butter. Beat the egg yolks, then stir 

them into the puréed peas together with 

the wasabi, breadcrumbs and a generous 

seasoning of salt. Transfer to a mixing 

bowl, cover and leave to chill. 

• Gently shape the pea mixture into 8 

barrel-shaped croquettes. (A little flour 

on your hands will make this easier.) 

• Break the eggs into a shallow dish 

and beat lightly with a fork. Put the 

breadcrumbs into a second shallow dish 

or deep plate. Lower the croquettes, one 

by one, into the beaten egg, then into 

the breadcrumbs. Pat firmly to help the 

crumbs stick to the croquettes, then lift 

them out on to a baking sheet. 

• Warm a 1cm deep layer of vegetable 

or groundnut oil in a shallow pan. 

Keeping at a moderate heat, lower the 

croquettes into the oil and fry for a few 

minutes until the underside is golden 

and crisp. Gently turn them and cook the 

other sides, then remove and drain on 

kitchen paper. 

• Toss together the pea shoots, mint 

and coriander leaves, dress with a little 

olive oil and lemon, then nestle the 

croquettes among them.
