IT’S NOW six years on from
that terrifying explosion of
energy no one will ever forget.
Yesterday, the city remembered
those who lost their lives
and were injured in the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
It was as expected a sombre
remembrance, and you can only
sympathise for the families who
lost sons, daughters, mums and
dads on that dreadful day.
The messages left by the
children were as personal as you
can get and very, very heartwrenching.
The memorial itself was
extremely well organised, and
everything was done to ensure
the sensitivities of the families
were not encroached on.
The memorial wall itself is
magnificent; an absolute credit
to those involved from the planning
to the workmanship.
There has been criticism over
how long it has taken to get a
memorial in place for the 185
quake victims.
But the people behind this
wall have got it right. And that’s
what counts.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw an 8.5m totara log removed from the Avon River near
the Barbadoes St bridge on February 20, 1979. A remnant of the pre-Polynesian
forests, it had been buried beneath the river for centuries. On February 21, 1910,
Lord Kitchener visited the city. On February 22, 1909, the Press building started
operation in Cathedral Square. Designed by J.J. Collins and R.D. Harman, it was
the city’s first ferro-concrete building. It was partially destroyed in the February
22, 2011, magnitude 6.3 earthquake which struck Canterbury. On February
25, 1908, the Theatre Royal opened. It also received damage in the February 22
earthquake, it has been repaired and is now named the Isaac Theatre Royal. On
February 25, 1948, six people were killed when the Picton to Christchurch express
derailed at Seddon. On the same day in 1978, the New Brighton Mall was opened.
On February 26, 1931, the Bowker Fountain (right) in Victoria Square started
operating. On February 26, 1938, the Summit Rd opened.

In Brief
Memorial a wee place for
baby Baxtor – and others
• By Bridget Rutherford
TESSA AND Anahera
Lancaster will grow up
wondering what their big
brother would have been like.
They never met Baxtor.
He was just five months old
when he was killed after falling
masonry fell on him in his cot
during the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Every year, on the anniversary
of his death, the three and fouryear-old’s
place their teddies
and flowers as his grave.
But this year they put them
below his name at the foot of
the Canterbury Earthquake
National Memorial.
“They know it’s Baxtor’s day,”
their mother Breanna Gowland
said.
Baxtor was her first child.
“At that stage he was my one
and only.”
She said he was a perfect baby.
He never cried and he wasn’t
fussy.
“He loved music and movement
– he did have a cheeky
side.”
Her eldest daughter Anahera’s
name means Angel in Maori – a
name inspired by Baxtor, she
said.
It feels like the earthquake
happened just yesterday, she
said.
“Every year it catches up on
you. Last year he would have
started school and that was a big
milestone for me. I kept thinking
what would he be like?
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt
REMEMBRANCE:
Baxtor Gowland’s

22 is his day, even
though they never
met him.
healed as such. When this
anniversary came around it
still hurts like it did in the first
instance.”
Baxtor was one of three babies
who died in the disaster.
Five-week-old Taneysha Prattley
was killed with her mother
Kelsey Moore when the Ruben
Blades hairdressing academy

place” with his

others who died.

HUNTER
building in the central city collapsed.
Eight-month-old Jayden Harris
was killed when a television
fell on top of him while he was
in his bed.
Ms Gowland said her family
had tended to get quite irritable
leading up to the anniversary.
But this year it was different
because the new memorial was
a place for them to remember
their loved ones.
“It’s always bitter-sweet but
this year it’s a real physical
memory of them.
“I like that he has his wee
place.”
SEARCH FOR FIREARMS
A police operation yesterday,
first reported as a possible
kidnapping or abduction in
Loburn, was actually a firearms
search. Police responded to
a report that a woman was
being held against her will at a
property on Loburn-Whiterock
Rd by a man known to her. The
Armed Offenders Squad was
called, the property cordoned
off and searched but no one was
found. No firearms were found
either. A man and a woman
connected with the properly
were located “safe and well” by
police in Christchurch. Sergeant
Dougal Struthers said the pair
had not been arrested but were
cooperating with police. Police
said no complaints have been
made by either parties.
FIREFIGHTERS THANKED
To say thank you to the
firefighters who responded to
the Port Hills fire, Smiths City
will donate five per cent of this
weekend’s sales to Canterbury
firefighters. The initiative applies
to the company’s Colombo St,
Northwood and Riccarton stores
and the money will benefit both
Selwyn and Christchurch rural
and urban firefighters. Smiths
City is also offering a discount
to firefighters who shop in their
Christchurch stores until the end
of March. They’ll need to show
identification, other terms and
conditions apply.
$100 OFFER STILL STANDS
City councillor Aaron Keown
is still holding on to the $100 he
offered to anyone who could find
a more dangerous intersection
than one in Bishopdale. He issued
the challenge after he claimed
the intersection of Harewood,
Gardiners and Breens Rds was the
worst in the city, as it has 10 lanes
converging without traffic lights,
and is often used by children. The
10-lane intersection of Neill St,
Canterbury St and Main South Rd
in Hornby has been suggested, but
Cr Keown said was similar but no
worse – so he is holding on to the
cash.
“ EVERYONE
KNOWS
MY MOLLY.”
“I really am so happy here.”
When Bev found out she was able to bring her
mini schnauzer Molly to her Summerset retirement
village, she was thrilled.
“Molly is very important to me, I wouldn’t have
wanted to make the move without her.”
After being at Summerset for only a few months, Bev
was surprised at how quickly she settled into village
life. She really likes the feeling that she’s secure and
that help is always at hand should
she need it.
Come and see why
we love the life at Summerset

A sombre quietness as
• By Gabrielle Stuart
ABOUT 3000 people were
gathered on the banks of the
Avon yesterday – but the place
was strangely peaceful.
White chairs were laid out in
rows on the grass, and by 11am
they were slowly filling with
families and friends of the 185
people killed in the February,
2011, earthquake.
They faced across the river
where, even with the sun behind
clouds, the white marble of
the newly-finished memorial
glowed.
Six years on from the earthquake,
the bangs and rumble of
construction are usually a constant
soundtrack in the city – but
yesterday, it was quiet.
As people filed in to the memorial
space under the trees, the
only sounds were cicadas and
quiet chatter.
Some arrived in black, others
in bright colours.
A rainbow of uniformed service
men and women lined up by
the river: Police in blue; red for
Civil Defence; army green; crisp

Two little girls arrived with
their hair up in curls, carrying
brightly-wrapped sunflowers.
A man sat on the grass in the
back with his dog on his lap.
The dignitaries arrived –
Prime Minister Bill English,
Mayor Lianne Dalziel,
Governor-General Dame Patsy
Reddy, Ngai Tahu leaders, and
representatives of a dozen foreign
governments. The Wizard
was ushered in from the public
area across Montreal St. There,
a giant screen was set up so the
gathering crowd could see the
ceremony. People sat on folding
chairs or cross-legged on the
grass. Cyclists leaned on their
bikes. Suited office workers, students,
school children and older
people stood side-by-side watching
as the ceremony began.

The Blind Care Company has been
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds
for over 60 years. Those six decades

technology. Styles have ranged from

and still popular holland roller blinds,
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,
and in every colour or pattern popular
since the 1960s.
Whatever your style, the Blind Care
Company has the expertise to keep your
window treatments looking fresh and

families remember
came so readily from the emergency
and rescue personnel,” it
said.
As the ceremony wrapped up,
people stood at the bridge with
boxes of flowers, handing them
out.
By the wall, people slowly
walked by – finding and touching
the names of loved ones
carved into the wall, or taking
a moment to hug or cry on the
seats looking out to the river.
Many people took a moment
to stand on the bridge and drop
a flower into the water, watching
as it disappeared under the
bridge.
On the other side, many of the
flowers were washed up against
the lower steps of the new memorial
– roses, sunflowers and
gerberas caught up in the river
weed.
A little girl sat and blew bubbles
as she watched the mihi
begin.
Ms Dalziel spoke strongly, addressing
her speech to families,
friends and rescuers: “This place
is for you.”
She spoke about attending the
funerals of those who died in the
earthquake, and hearing then
mayor Bob Parker promise to
create a place their names would
be recorded.
“This is the time. This is that
place,” she said.
Mr English said the memorial
was a place to grieve, but also to
hope.
He thanked “all those who
came to the aid of a city in
desperate need” – from the first
responders, to foreign governments.
As well as her own speech,
Dame Patsy Reddy read a message
from the Queen.
“There will be difficult and
painful memories, but also
memories of many heroic and
selfless acts, of the caring and
creative nature of the Christchurch
people and of the help that

Messages from the heart
• By Bridget Rutherford
“MY DADDY. I’m 13.”
That message is written on one of
three rocks that sit next to a flax weaving
at the foot of the new Canterbury
Earthquake National Memorial.
The wall has been uncovered so
family and friends of those lost in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake, six years
ago, can be remembered.
The names of the 185 people who
died have been inscribed along 40m of
the 121m wall that sits next to the Avon
River.
It is peaceful, yet poignant.
Messages, notes, flowers and meaningful
items have been placed at the foot
of the memorial.
A note written to Matthew Beaumont,
known as Matty, was stuck next to his
name on the marble.
“Dear Matty. We think of you every
day and miss you. Lots of love, the
Thorndycrofts.”
Mr Beaumont worked for CTV, and
was killed when the Madras St building
collapsed. He was 31.
Notes have been written and attached
to a tree on the bank of the Avon River
opposite the memorial, which was unveiled
yesterday.
They are written in different languages,
from family members who have

the world to remember their children,

“Dear Mummy. It is so sad that you
died. I miss you so much. Love Keily

Another reads: “Dear Mummy. I will
love you forever. I wished you were still
here. Love Aimee xoxoxo.”
One message is not addressed to
anyone.

Memorial wall ‘special’
YESTERDAY, Maryanne
Jackson was surrounded by
the memory of her former
workmates.
Roses, each labelled with
the name of 16 friends she
lost in the CTV building
collapse, arrived ready for
her to take down to the
memorial.
“It is so very special,” she
said, kneeling down quietly
tending to them, touching
the names.
Maryanne narrowly
escaped with her own
life when the earthquake
struck at 12.51pm, February
22, 2011.
She was a receptionist
on the ground floor at
CTV when the quake hit.
Instinctively she ran out of
the door onto the street – it
saved her life.
When she turned
around, she saw the building
had collapsed behind
her. Sixteen of her colleagues
were among the
115 who perished in the
building.

Santa Parade in jeopardy – again
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE SANTA Parade is once
again in jeopardy because of city
council funding issues – in spite
of Mayor Lianne Dalziel giving
assurances in December that it
would be supported.
The city council appears to
have gone back on its promise to
set aside funding for the parade
this year, and is also refusing to
release the last $10,000 of last
year’s funding.
This year’s Santa Parade now
may not happen, as the organisers
say they only have enough
funds left to pay their bills until
May.
Last year, the city council cut
funding for the parade from
$85,000 to $60,000.
That meant the parade
organisers had to use money
from their reserves to make the
parade happen.
They say it costs more than
$100,000 to run each parade,
most of which covers the rent of
their float storage warehouse.
But after an article in The Star
in November warning the parade
was in jeopardy, Ms Dalziel
personally stepped in.
She said she would look at
including money in the city
council’s annual plan this year,

so the organisers no longer had
to compete against other events
for funding.
“We are not abandoning
the Santa Parade and we will
certainly make sure this popular
Christchurch event doesn’t fall
over,” she said.
Christchurch Santa Parade
Trust chairwoman Anne Jamieson
said that was confirmed in
a meeting with council staff late
last year.
“We were so elated, thinking,
yay, we’re not going to have to
jump through hoops again,” she
said.
But in January she got an
email from the city council
events team, saying there had
been “no commitment so far” to
set aside funding for the parade,
so the parade would have to
compete again for an event
funding grant.
That means any funding is
not only uncertain, but is likely
to take until late in the year to
confirm.
Ms Jamieson said they could
not wait that long.
“We have to have the money
to pay our rent, so if we don’t get
funding, then what?”
The Star asked Ms Dalziel what
she was personally doing to keep
her promise in November.
She replied: “We haven’t made
any decisions around funding
for specific events. We are still
working on the draft annual
plan and I expect that staff will
report on the previous Santa
Parade as part of their advice.”
The annual plan is expected to
be finalised in June.
Adding to the problems, the
city council has also refused to
release the final $10,000 of the
last year’s parade funding until
an evaluation report is done.
But this year it has asked for a
lot more detail in the evaluation
report than ever before.
That includes things like the
total weight of rubbish collected
after the parade, every receipt
from purchases, and details of
how many of the people watching
the parade were from out
of town. Ms Jamieson said the
organisers had done their best
to collect the information, but
the process was frustrating and
time-consuming.
City council head of recreation
and sports John Filsell said
the questions were necessary
to judge how the event fulfilled
the city council’s objectives and
requirements.
Trial proves
bikeshare
popular
• By Bridget Rutherford
A NEW bikeshare system
similar to those in Europe could
be introduced in Christchurch
after a trial proved popular with
residents.
The city council and Environment
Canterbury decided last
week to prepare a business case
about the possibility of installing
a bikeshare system as part of the
Metro network.
If implemented, it would allow
people to rent bicycles for a short
period of time from any station,
before returning it to another station
in the city.
It would have about 250-350
bicycles and would cost about $1
million to $3 million to set up.
For the past 18 months, Spark
has been running a pilot programme
with 36 bicycles across
six stations.
A report on its performance
showed more than 75 per cent of
the trips were taken by residents,
while 15-30 people use each
bicycle per month, which was
“surprisingly high.”
That trial will finish in six
months while the business case
would be prepared by June.

IT MIGHT have been described
as baby steps but it’s a step in the
right direction.
Prime Minister Bill English
can take a bow for his decision
not to seal the Pike River mine
after months of campaigning by
families of the 29 men who died
in the 2010 tragedy.
The Star and its Facebook
page Rise Up Christchurch campaigned
in December alongside
the families in a bid to stop the
Government and Solid Energy
sealing the mine.
Said editor in chief Barry
Clarke: “Hundreds upon hundreds
of people responded to our
campaign on Rise Up, so I thank
them for that.
“There were a few people who
believed the mine should be
sealed, including some family
members and we respect them
for that.
“But the vast majority wanted
the mine left open until it is
safe to go in, potentially recover
loved ones and allow a detailed
investigation into what happened.
“If the people who joined our
campaign had an influence on
Bill English’s decision then they
have helped achieve a positive
outcome for the families.”
Bill English
Barry Clarke
The families’ spokesman
Bernie Monk said the meeting
with Mr English was “very
positive” and that they had made
more progress with him than
they had under previous Prime
Minister John Key.
Mr English refused to grant
their request to re-enter the
mine’s drift but agreed to look

an explosion at the Pike River
mine in 2010.
into sending a drone or other
unmanned technology into the
mine to investigate further.
“We’ve got another step forward
for us . . . I think they’ve
got a lot of understanding about
the ins and outs because it’s not
easy for them to understand
what we’ve been through over
the last six years,” said Mr
Monk.
Anna Osborne, who lost her
husband Milton, said Mr English
could have gone further, describing
his commitments as “baby
steps.”

Facebook campaign
where you can
make a difference
THE STAR is urging Cantabrians to get
behind the families of the Pike River
victims and convince Solid Energy and
the Government not to seal the mine.
The Star wants as many people as
possible to post their opinion on our
Facebook page, Rise Up Christchurch,
which we will send to new Prime
Minister Bill English and to stateowned
company Solid Energy.
Said editor in chief Barry Clarke:
“West Coasters came to our aid and
support in the weeks after the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
“It’s time for us now to step up and
help them in their time of need. And
they don’t just have to be Cantabrians
who want to show their support.
“Sealing that mine would be a
travesty. Experts say there are ways to
lower the methane levels that would
then make it safe to enter.

“Those families need to recover their
sons, brothers, husbands and fathers.
And we all owe those 29 who perished
the right to be reunited with their
families.”
A Royal Commission of Inquiry
into the November 2010 disaster was
scathing of safety at the mine. The
commission’s report told a grim story
of how a number of organisations,
including both the mine company and
the former Department of Labour,
failed to keep workers in the Pike River
mine safe.
Hours after the mine blew, then
Prime Minister John Key called it a
national disaster.
It would be a national travesty if the
mine was sealed before every attempt to
re-enter it has been exhausted.

Young musician already a master
• By Bridget Rutherford
ALEXANDRA Watson doesn’t
have a favourite instrument to
play.
She plays five – and she also
sings. But the violin will be
her instrument of choice at the
National Schools’ Symphony Orchestra
of Great Britain in July.
The 15-year-old St Margaret’s
College student will be the only
young musician to perform from
outside the United Kingdom.
“It’s definitely a talking point,”
she said.
It will be the sixth year
she has taken part in the
week-long camp of rehearsals
and performances for young
musicians aged between nine
and 19.
She auditioned to join at
the age of 10 while living in
Eastbourne, West Sussex, and
has been invited back every year
since.
She has moved her way up to
the senior orchestra, which is for
musicians grade eight or above.
The orchestra will be conducted
by Richard Dickins, director
of music at London’s Imperial
College – where Alexandra
hopes to study one day.
“When I leave school I want to
study physics and music.”
Alexandra started singing and
playing the violin when she was
two.
Since then, she has also taken
up the piano, flute, chello and
harp – all of which she has
reached or is about to reach
grade eight in.
“I just kept picking them up.”
She is also part of a number of
choirs and, in her school breaks,
studies song writing and theory
at Canterbury University.
Alexandra has also been
selected for a place in the New
Zealand Symphony Orchestra
Mentoring Programme with
associate concertmaster Donald
Armstrong.
Music is not her only passion.
She also wants to work at NASA.
She has attended two space
camps in Huntsville, Alabama,
and loved them.
TALENTED:
Alexandra
Watson is off to
the UK in July

MARTIN
HUNTER ​
Alexandra and her parents
will head to the UK in July for
the orchestra camp at Malvern
College and will visit her
grandmother during their stay.
She said every time she had
attended, she had learnt a lot.
“It’s the experience of being in
such a high-quality orchestra,
even though it’s secondary
students, everyone is of a high
level of playing.”
Fire-affected
residents’
meetings
CIVIL DEFENCE will hold
three street meetings tonight for
residents and landowners affected
by the Port Hills fire.
They will be held from 6.30pm at
the following cordon locations: 305
Kennedys Bush Rd, 51 Hoon Hay
Valley Rd and 327 Worsleys Rd.
The fire is now 81 per cent
‘controlled,’ but there is still a risk
of flare ups with warmer weather
forecast, authorities said. About
250 fire and emergency services’
staff are on the ground, including
those involved in aerial operations.
Meanwhile, the clean up has
only just begun for those that have
returned to homes after being
evacuated. Reports of homes reeking
of smoke, with layers of ash
across surfaces, mean a big clean
job for residents.
The city council has organised
rubbish collection of all its bins
in Worsleys, Kennedys Bush and
Hoon Hay Valley Rds between
noon and 5pm on Thursday.
“All waste will be treated as
rubbish and does not need to be
separated into the relevant bin.
A waste skip will be located in
Worsleys Rd for residents to drop
off any additional waste,” the city
council said.

Stories from past sought to shape future
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE AGENCY which will
decide the future of the red zone
is hunting for stories from its
past.
Regenerate Christchurch today
launched a new “community
research” tool which allows people
to publicly share comments,
stories, videos or pictures about
the red zone.
They will be used to shape
plans for the land, which covers
about 535ha along the Avon
River.
Residential red zone general
manager Rob Kerr said
the things people shared would
genuinely make a difference.
“The more we know and
understand about the land and
the stories and what it means to
us, the more we can understand
what is the best way to use the
land,” he said.
They are looking for anything
from stories from former red
zone residents, to research on the
red zone.
It would become a reference
point for designers, Mr Kerr said.
“With creative designers, one
of the things it’s really important
to do is almost literally pour information
and ideas and stories
into their heads, and then they
find a creative expression for
The red zone land where

those,” he said.
Regenerate Christchurch was
sent up as a Crown and city
council joint agency with a fiveyear
lifespan, tasked with driving
regeneration in the red zone, the
central city and New Brighton.
Almost a year after it was
established, it has just finished
consulting the public on the
scope of its red zone work, which
covers things such as the area
covered and how people will be
involved.
About 100 people made
submissions during the consultation,
which closed on Tuesday.
Mr Kerr acknowledged people
in Canterbury had already been
through many consultation
processes since the earthquakes,
and being involved took a lot of
effort.
He said he had spent the last
year meeting regularly with
community groups, and said one
of the questions he was most often
asked was how people could
be involved in the process.
•Regenerate Christchurch’s
red zone “mapping tool”
is set to be launched
online today, at engage.
regeneratechristchurch.
nz. It will stay open for
contributions until March 18.

• The Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor is a special place for many people.
• This year, Regenerate Christchurch is planning for the future of the
river corridor’s red zone.
• What do you know about the land and the river that we need to
think about?
We would like the knowledge, wisdom and experiences of people and
communities to help shape our planning. Your contribution will be added
to an online, publically accessible database.

Poignant reminder
YESTERDAY
marked six years
since the devastating
2011 earthquake,
a significant day
for Christchurch
and New Zealand
as we remember
the terrible loss
experienced by so many.
This year, the commemorations
were particularly poignant as the
Canterbury Earthquake National
Memorial was unveiled. The memorial
provides a dedicated place to
remember and reflect on the earthquakes,
those who lost loved ones,
and how much Christchurch has
changed. The memorial design, from
Slovenian architect Grega Vezjak,
was selected in consultation with
the bereaved families and features
a 112m long marble wall running
along the south bank of the Avon
River. Engraved on the wall are the
names of the 185 victims and a tribute
to the first responders.
The commemoration service yesterday
at the memorial was moving
and a powerful way to acknowledge
the effects of the earthquake as a
community. At 12.51pm, the names
of every victim were read out and
wreaths were laid by representatives
of each of the 13 nations who lost
people in the earthquake.
Family members of the victims
Gerry Brownlee
attended a small ceremony the night
before to view the memorial before
the wider public and to remember
their loved ones in private. The memorial
is a key feature of Christchurch’s
regeneration, and completing
it has been a major priority for the
Government. As in the cost sharing
agreement, the Crown has contributed
$10 million and $1 million has
come from the city council. The
Crown will maintain ownership of
the memorial and carry the costs of
its maintenance and upkeep.
I know Otakaro Ltd, which was in
charge of the memorial’s construction,
is very grateful for the families’
assistance with the memorial design
and I want to add the Government’s
thanks as well. As the city’s regeneration
continues, it is important to take
some time to remember the earthquakes,
what was lost and what has
been rebuilt. Christchurch now has a
dedicated place of remembrance for
years to come.
•Gerry Brownlee is Minister

You said:
Tania Collingwood –
This is beautiful what a lovely
area for people to reflect and
have some down time. A lot of
love has gone into the making
of this.
Karen Lesley
Arrowsmith – I love this .
. . However, this should have
been done a lot sooner rather
than wasting all that money
on a poorly constructed
cardboard cathedral. These
people should have been given
priority.
Andrea Borrie – How
beautiful, and so Christchurch
where people know how to
stick together and support one
another. Thinking of all those
people who lost loved ones
and their homes, livelihoods.
Joy Mamae Hayward

Rosemary Morroll – We
were there that fateful day but
thankfully escaped unhurt .

. . . love from the UK.
Rosheen Smth – A day
I will never forget. God bless
all the families who lost loved
ones especially the children
who lost a parent.
Jacinta Brown – But why
did we have an architect fro
Slovenia to design this when
we have so many amazing
artisans here in NZ?
Jennie-lee Aukett – My
thoughts are with my friends
and families and everyone in
Christchurch take care. This is
a lovely idea.

A WEEK out from
the sixth anniversary
of the devastating
Christchurch
earthquakes, our
city was once again
struck by tragedy.
The fires that consumed family
homes and large areas of bush
on the Port Hills are a gutting
reminder that nature has not
been kind to our people and
communities. I’m actually
starting to wonder if it’s not
about time that Cantabrians
caught a break!
This time of year is always
painful for Christchurch. Memories
of the people and places that
we lost are never very far from
our thoughts. For another blow
to strike at this time just magnifies
that loss and fear for our city
and neighbours which we felt
back then. But I am proud to say
that it also reinforces the strength
of our communities, which never
fail to come together to help each
other out in difficult times.
I got to experience this up
close last week by supporting
Ports Hills MP Ruth Dyson.
Ruth worked incredibly hard to
ensure her constituents were safe
and well informed and it was a
privilege to help her in this. We
were also joined on Friday afternoon
by Labour leader Andrew
Little and the three of us were at
the front line ensuring that we
were getting the facts, which is
absolutely critical during times
of emergency. We even stopped
in Halswell briefly to make a very
important donation of beer to
thank the firefighters for their
tireless efforts.
Despite what we witnessed out
in the community, it was very
disappointing to see the minister
spraying blame while the fires
were still burning. Labour knows
there are serious questions to
be asked and we will be doing
that over the coming weeks and
months. But in the immediate
moments following an emergency,
it’s important to be on the
scene assisting our agencies and
local volunteers where possible.

CAPSICUM
Confusion reigns where
capsicum ‘colours’ are
concerned but the general rule
is that capsicums are ready to
harvest when they have turned
the colour specified for the
variety planted.
So, if you want the sweetest,
fullest-flavoured capsicum
you can get your hands on,
don’t pick it until it’s the colour
of the vegetable on the seed
packet you sowed it from or
the label of the seedling you
popped into the ground. And,
yes, a green capsicum can be
either an immature capsicum
yet to change colour or a fullymature
green capsicum (if
that was the colour variety you
grew).
On its way to being the
colour you aimed to grow, the
capsicum (unless it’s a strictly
green variety) will generally
(but not always) change from
green to yellow and then to
red.
One thing that’s not so
difficult to get your head
around, however, is that the
longer a capsicum stays on
the plant, the sweeter it will
be. Conversely, if you pick it
before it’s mature it may even
have an almost bitter flavour,
or (in the best-case scenario)
be almost tasteless. Another
guideline for picking at
maturity is to go by size (once
again, refer to the plant label
or seed packet for a guide as
not all fruit is the same size on
maturity).
When choosing a fruit to
pick, let colour and size be
your main guides but also
gloss and weight. Perfectly ripe
capsicums have a vivid colour
and their skins are glossy and
never dull. Dullness indicates
over-ripeness and any wrinkles

in a dull skin suggest that the
flesh of the fruit may even be
mushy. Gently weighing the
capsicum in your cupped hand
to test for readiness also helps
determine maturity. If perfectly
mature, the capsicum should
feel heavy for its size. If you do
happen to pick an immature
fruit, it is unlikely to mature in
storage or even when placed
on a sunny window ledge.
Of course, any capsicum
is a good capsicum where
preserving is concerned, and
while you may not wish to
snap-freeze less-than-perfect
fruits, there is no reason why
they cannot be chopped into
pickles and relishes, or even
stuffed and baked.
Perhaps the one exception to
the mature harvesting guide is
when you want to encourage
more flowers to develop.
Picking peppers before they are
totally mature will encourage
more flowers and therefore,
eventually, more fruit, so it’s
a case of deciding what’s best
for your circumstances. With
several plants growing, you
should be able to have your
cake (or in this case, capsicum,)
and eat it, too.
When it comes to actually
harvesting capsicums, use
scissors and snip so that a
stem remains attached to the
fruit. Never tug the fruit off or
you’ll damage the plant. Green

BUSH AND CLIMBING
BEANS
The most popular summerharvest
beans in New Zealand
are the green and yellow
French dwarf varieties (also
known as ‘bush’ or ‘snap’ beans
and sometimes to be found in
purple) and climbing beans.
There are a number of varieties
of climbing beans, but they can
be generally divided into two
categories: climbing French (or
‘snap’) style and scarlet runners
(a flat-podded climber bean
more suited to cool climates).
All bean plants will be
encouraged to produce more
fruit by regular picking, a
practice that also thins out
the pods and encourages
air circulation (beans are
notorious for developing
fungal rot). Snap varieties
should be picked when the
pods are not more than 10cm
long (dwarf varieties) or 20cm
long (climbing varieties).
Although there is little need
for stringing beans nowadays,
picking after the beans are
past maturity does mean their
skins are more fibrous and
less palatable. Always snip the
beans off with kitchen scissors
or (if you have the finger nails
for it!) nip through the stems
with a sharp pinch.
Scarlet runner beans are a
different ‘animal’ altogether.
While beans left to mature
on the plant can be podded,
and the ‘old style’ way of
harvesting is to let the beans
grow as long as possible and
then stew them, gardeners
in-the-know will be sure to
pick the beans when they are
no more than 15-20cm long
and when the pods are still flat
and tender. Used at this stage,
they are every bit as delicious
as snap beans, especially when
sliced finely (lengthways) and
sautéed in butter or blanched
and served cooled with a sweet
vinaigrette.
Picking of any bean plant
needs to be regular and
frequent (more than once a
week in good growing conditions).
If you miss any pods
and the seeds within develop
fully, the beans can always be
podded and used that way but
be aware that allowing fruit
to mature will slow down the
plant’s production. Its aim,
after all, is not supply you
with beans but, rather, to grow
fruit, set seed, and then shut
up shop for the season!
Store beans (if you must) in
a sealed bag low in the fridge
or blanch and snap freeze soon
after picking.

MAXIMISE:
Dead-head
your roses
once a
week to
encourage
repeat
flowering.
Put in a plan to beat
the summer heat
IT HASN’T been an easy
summer in the garden.
Exceptionally unsettled
weather has occurred in all
parts of New Zealand with
extremes of heat, wind and
rain. Regardless of this,
February is still a significant
month for harvesting
crops and reaping the
benefits of your hard work
both in the home orchard
and vegetable garden.
Summer salad vegetables
should be at their peak this
month. Ensure plants are
regularly watered to maintain
healthy growth, especially
cucumbers, tomatoes,
lettuce and radishes. Other
typical summer veges
include beans (climber
and dwarf), aubergines,
courgettes, beetroot, corn,
onions, peppers and pumpkin,
and should all be ready
to harvest.
Remove any plants that
have cropped and finished
for the season to provide
room for winter vegetables
(broccoli, brussels sprouts,
cabbages and cauliflower)
which can now be planted
to mature in the early winter.
Consider saving seed
from your favourite summer
vegetables, particularly
beans and tomatoes.
Late season peaches and
plums are now maturing,
and apples and pears are
beginning to ripen, particularly
early varieties such as
gala. Fruit are now forming
on citrus trees (ripening
in mid-winter). Ensure all
fruit trees are well mulched
to help maintain soil
moisture and reduce weed
growth.
Most strawberry fruiting
has now finished, so allow
growth to provide runners
for next seasons plantings
or remove old plants. It’s
possible to obtain a second
crop on raspberry plants in
HYDRATION: Ensure your vegetable garden gets
plenty of moisture, but only water during the
morning or evening.
February, especially if old
wood has been removed
after the first crop. Continue
tying up new season’s
growth for next season’s
crop.
Almost all herbs thrive
in the hot sunny summer
months. However, a
number do flower and go
to seed in late-February
so remove and replace
with fresh new plants. You
can also gather leaves for
drying which is easy to do.
Simply place the leaves in a
shallow tray in a dry, sunny,
sheltered position. Leave
them for about two to three
weeks, which should be
sufficient time for drying.
Once dried completely,
store them in an airtight
container.
February provides the
peak of display for summer
annuals that thrive in
the hot summer months,
like cosmos, marigolds,
petunias, salvias, portulacas
and zinnias. Plant ‘potted
colour’ to brighten up
containers or special parts
of the garden. Continue
dead-heading plants to
help maintain continuous
flowering. It’s also time
to consider what you will
plant for your autumn/
winter displays. You can
start sowing seeds of winter
annuals such as alyssum,
calendulas, primulas, nemesia,
pansies, polyanthus,
stock, violas and wallflowers,
ready for planting in
April.
A very difficult month
for lawns, they often appear
extremely dry, with brown
patches and sometimes
alarming cracking. Where
water is readily available
irrigate regularly in the
cooler parts of the day.
Wait until cooler autumn
months before attempting
any major repair work.
Keep roses well-watered
and apply mulch to keep
moisture and nutrients in.
Pay special attention to
potted roses to ensure they
do not dry out. Spray every
two weeks throughout
summer to treat any diseases
or pests – your local
gardening centre can help
you choose the best product
for the job. Dead-head
your roses once a week to
encourage repeat flowering,
and enjoy the last of your
summer displays.
Green Manure Crops
Green crops are also known as cover
crops or manure crops and are grown
for the nutrients and organic matter
that they give back to the soil. This is
a natural method of soil maintenance
that will boost and replace nutrients
and encourage earthworms and other
microorganisms. These crops are also
a way to add rich organic matter to the
soil and help stop the soil compacting
during winter. Most people plant green
crops in early autumn to replenish the
garden for spring planting. Green crops
are suited to all gardens, whether big
or small.
For the best results plant the green
crop when it is raining because it is
essential the seed does not dry out when
germinating. Work your soil gently with
a rake, then sow your seed over the soil
and rake it in. When planting ensure you
allow plenty of time for them to establish
before frost, generally 3–4 weeks. Cover
crops are low-maintenance compared to

You know the crop is ready to be dug into
the soil when it flowers in late winter
or early spring, but note that the stems
should still be soft and watery. Ideally you
should chop most crops before flowering.
Chop the foliage off near the ground
(using a Weed Wacker is ideal) then wait
a day or two until the leaves and stems
dry up a bit, then dig it into the first 15cm
of soil. An alternative method is to leave
the foliage on the garden and then cover
it with a layer of compost. By adding
blood & bone fertiliser or animal manure
you will speed up the breakdown of the
crop, but wait at least three weeks after
digging in the crop before planting the
next crop of vegetables, etc.

TRAVEL/HEALTH
BAYDREAMS
Byron Bay combines the hippy, carefree
finesse of the 60’s with modern cool.
Byron Bay is a town that manages to
combine the carefree finesse of the 60’s with
modern day cool. A long-time favourite
holiday destination for the wonderlust youth
in search of a famous surf break, or for the
authentic baby boomers Byron offers a
plathora of options from shopping to whale
watching to hinterland adventures.
Shaking off its reputation as simply a sleepy
beachside hippie town, thanks to the rise in
social media, Byron is now emerging as a new
player in the Australian fashion scene. Here
you’ll find the home to labels Spell and The
Gypsy Collective and Liberty Co.
For the shopping adverse, Byron is one of
the most accessible places in the world to go
whale watching. You can go straight off main
beach in a rubber ducky speed boat and be
out with the whales in minutes. There are
sometimes up to 30 whales in the Bay, and to
get so close really is an amazing experience.
Or embark on a coastal walk, Cape Byron
is listed as one of the best vantage points
to view the Humpback whales in the winter
season.
A visit to the local farmers market on a
Thursday is a must as is a swim at the
stunning Wategos beach, the water is always
crystal clear.
Make the scenic pilgrimage to Bangalow
to browse wares from local jewellers, artists,
vintage and retro shops and food vendors.
Some really beautiful craft and artwork that
are not your stock standard market fare can
be found at these weekend markets. There
are some seriously talented artists and craftsmen/women
in the area so you can pick up
something really unique to remind you of
your Byron visit.
For the more adventurous, escape on a day
trip in to the hinterland. If you are a lover of
nature, an explorer of life and a straight up
adventurer you will loose yourself in these
incredible untouched and protected habitats
of the nearby national parks and reserves.
Foodies will love Australia’s “Biggest Little
Town”, Mullumbimby is a 20-minute drive
north of Byron Bay. Here you’ll find some
amazing little restaurants which Byron locals
flock to.
If that’s not enough, try your hand at reiki,
refine your yoga practice, do a raw fast, or
simply hide under a plam tree and enjoy the
sound of the ocean.
If you want to live like a local, book your
stay at the Atlantic Hotel on Marvell Street.
It’s the perfect combination of location and
style and is just steps away from the cafes,
shops and white sandy beaches.
There really is something for everyone and
with flights to Ballina via Sydney or Brisbane,
Byron is an easily accessable little slice of
hippy paradise.
YOU’LL HEAR A PIN DROP
A virtually invisable hearing aid device will become
your secret weapon.
“What”, “what was that”, “speak up, you’re
mumbling.” The inability to hear is far more
noticeable than a hearing aid! This NEW
HEARING AID sits invisibly in the ear for
complete discretion and wearing comfort.
The hearing aid technology delivers on an
outstanding hearing experience, boosting the
ears natural focus on specific speech sounds
from the front, whilst filtering out annoying
noises from behind. This reduces listening
effort. Background noise in restaurants and
crowded places will be a thing of the past.
For those who want TOTAL CONVENIENCE
to adjust their hearing aids an OPTIONAL
RANGE of wireless accessories is available
including smartphones.
With this tiny, sleek new hearing aid device
there’s no need for excuses like, “It makes
me feel old”…“I’m too embarrassed to wear
one”…or “my hair’s too short so you’ll see
them.”
And as the icing on the cake, we promise
there will be NO WAITING. Come to your
appointment, try them on and once the
hearing aids have been adjusted to your
hearing loss and personal preference, take
them away. It’s as easy and painless as that.

LITERAL GREENERY
Igor and Judith
of Urban Jungle Bloggers
House plants have been making a big
comeback in the world of design. We’re
all aware of the benefits of incorporating
greenery in to our interiors. Botanicals do a
wonder for freshening up an interior space.
Igor of Happy Interior Blog and Judith of
JOELIX.com. are bloggers, friends and lovers
of greens in interiors whose mutual passion
for plants resulted in a project called Urban
Jungle Bloggers and subsequently their book
‘Urban Jungle: Living and Styling with Plants.
Igor and Judith’s goal is to highlight that
living with plants is not merely about styling
and decorating. Houseplants have beneficial
effects on our living environment and make
our lives better, healthier and more beautiful.
We asked them to share a couple of their
top picks for indoor plants...
Q: The fiddle leaf fig has been a
fixture in lots of trendy interiors, are
there any new statement plants that
you see as being the next ‘it’ potted
plant?
UG: The current IT-plants are (amongst
others): Begonia maculata, Monstera obliqua,
Monstera deliciosa, Ficus elastic (rubber
plant). In our book, Urban Jungle Living and
styling with plants, we dedicated an entire
chapter to both the Monstera deliciosa and
the Rubber plant, including styling tips from
various international bloggers and care tips!
Q: We’re loving the ‘green bunting’
which are climbing/draping plants that
grow indoors along walls and around
windows, like the passionflower. What
Burwood Hospital's great facilities
for Older Person's health are
now easier to reach by bus
are your favourites that can be used as
‘green bunting’?
UG: Pothos (Devil’s Ivy) and Green Ivy are
both very decorative trailing plants!
Q: Your top picks for what to plant in
interior hanging pots?
UG: Boston ferns, pearl of strings, Lepismium
bolivianum, Epiphyllum, Donkey’s tale
succulents.
Q: You’ve got an amazing collection
of bloggers as part of your Urban
Jungle community, and have written a
super impressive book....have you got
any other exciting plans in the pipeline
for 2017?
We would love to create more video
content for Urban Jungle Bloggers. We
started creating the first few clips and there’s
more on the radar. Also, a few weeks ago
we went live on Instagram for the first time
during an event and we loved it! It allowed
us to connect to people from all around the
world and to share the things we saw with
them and get their feedback directly. It felt
invigorating and this is definitely something
we would want to do more often.
Urban Jungle: Living and Styling with Plants
is a source of inspiration, ideas and a manual
for all of those who want to bring more
plants into their home. The book is packed
with information and tips, and showcases the
homes of several inspiring people and how
they live with plants. It also has a ton of easy
DIY ideas as well as plant care tips.
Urban Jungle is available in NZ
online through the Book Depository:

DON’T MISS THE LAST LEGS
The smash-hit new play from Roger Hall
News that Bill English is to open a new wing
of the Cambridge Retirement Village sparks
a revolution amongst its residents. Though
many want to turn on something special,
others are less enthused and plan to stage
a protest. Soon, new fractures appear along
old fault lines, transforming the swanky
facility into a hotbed of insurrection,
intrigue and infidelity. The shenanigans and
skulduggery continue right up to the last
minute. With the Minister’s car only
moments away, a vehicle suddenly blocks
the driveway.
What’s worse, it’s a hearse!
So begins the smash-hit new play from
beloved playwright Roger Hall. After a
sell-out World Premiere season in Wellington
last year, Fortune Theatre is thrilled to
partner with Circa Theatre for the Dunedin
season of Roger Hall’s Last Legs. The latest
play from New Zealand’s most popular
playwright, Last Legs is sure to delight once
again with Hall’s trademark wit and
hilarious characters.
Opening at Fortune on April 29th the run
will accompany a month of celebrations
around the playwright’s 40th year
associated with the theatre. With play
readings, panels and more the Fortune is
the place to be during the chilly Dunedin
winter.

LAW 5
SUNSET
RELATIONSHIPS
WORDS FLEUR MCDONALD
A relationship later in life can put a welcome
bounce back in your step but before
you step into a potential legal quagmire, there
are some important matters you should give
serious consideration to.
Under the Property (Relationships) Act
1976, a qualifying de facto relationship is
defined as being a relationship of three years
or more. There are various factors that will
determine whether you are in a relationship
or not. You should be aware that actually
living together and physical intimacy may
not be necessary to qualify your relationship
under the Act.
If your relationship does qualify, the start
point for the sharing of relationship assets is
50 / 50. That may not be what either of you
want or intend so it may be worthwhile for
you and your partner to consider entering
into a written agreement to determine how
assets will be dealt with should your
relationship end.
In New Zealand, these written agreements
are called Contracting Out Agreements (the
“Agreement”) and must be drafted and
executed with assistance from your lawyer.
You and your partner must see receive
independent advice from different lawyers.
Your respective lawyers are required to
give you their professional opinion as to the
fairness and appropriateness of your
Agreement as well as explaining its effects
and what it will mean for you and your family.
The independent advice you receive from
your lawyers is designed to ensure that you
both get sound information and understand
exactly what is contained in the Agreement
before you sign it.
You should discuss the need for an
Agreement together in the early stages of
your relationship so both parties understand
and agree on what will happen should the
worst come to pass. Leaving it to deal with
later could result in the process being more
expensive for you both. If you both agree
that an Agreement is a good idea, make a
time to see your lawyer and have your
Agreement completed well within the first 3
years of your relationship.
An Agreement will also ensure that there is
no misunderstanding on what you both want
to happen after you die. You should be aware
that in conjunction with completing an
Agreement, you may also need to update
your Will so that the terms and conditions of
your Agreement are reflected in your Will.
As with all areas of law, it is important that
you seek good advice from a team who
understand how this area of law may impact
on you and your legal requirements. At
Harmans we have experience dealing with
Contracting Out Agreements and family law.
Give Fleur McDonald a call on 03 352 2293
to arrange an appointment with a member of
our Family Law Team to discuss your needs.

GODLEY FITNESS
The best cardiovascular exercise for people over 50 tend to be ones that do not jar the
body such as cycling and walking.
ON YOUR BIKE
ON FOOT
EVANS PASS TO GODLEY HEAD
45 Minutes
The track starts at the Godley Head car park
and runs along the right hand side of the road
heading towards Breeze Col. This section is
an easy single track, but it’s also just as easy
to get distracted by the views! From Breeze
Col you head across the road for a fairly hard
climb and short down hill to meet the road
again at Livingstone Col. The next section
along the Crater Track has more climbing
before a rough ride down to Evans Pass.
CAPTAIN THOMAS TRACK
20 Minutes
The top part of Captain Thomas Track is for
walking only, so shoot down the road a short
way to where the multi-use section starts.
GODLEY HEAD COASTAL WALK
3 Hour round trip
Distance: 7km
Starting Point: Taylors Mistake car park
Difficulty: Easy to Godley Head, loop track
medium.
Highlights: Coastal cliffs, WWII defence
battery with gun emplacements.
The views change along the track from
the surfing action of Taylors Mistake against
the backdrop of rugged Whitewash Head to
panoramic views of Pegasus Bay stretching
to the Kaikoura mountains and the hills of
North Canterbury. From Godley Head, the
route’s eastern extremity, Lyttelton Harbour,
the north face of Banks Peninsula, and the
expanse of the Pacific Ocean come into sight.
The World War II military installations on
Godley Head are an added attraction.
For those skeptics amongst us, who might
be thinking that the Galvanic Spa is yet
another expensive product that won’t work,
Leita Vanstone of AgeWell exlplains, “this
is really a revolutionary product that is all
about the gels. The anti-aging blends in the
gels and the spa itself is the catalyst to push
the gel deep in to the skin. Use it between
one to two times a week and you’ll really see
the results.”
The science behind the Spa is that it uses
electrical charges to facilitate the transport
of key ingredients for maximum benefit. If a
key ingredient is negatively charged, the
negative cycle of the Galvanic Spa
Instrument will repel this ingredient,

facilitating its transport. In the same way,
if the ingredient is positively charged, the
instrument will facilitate transport when the
cycle is positive. If there are impurities
within the skin that need to be pulled out,
they will be extracted with an opposite
charge.
Leita will happily demonstate the Spa on
one side of your face so you can see firsthand
the amazing results. While it’s an outlay
at the start to purchase the Spa, the operating
costs are a mere fraction of the cost of
regular beauty therapy facials.

SMALL CAR
BIG FACELIFT
One of the biggest challenges for an automotive designer is to make a
small car look good.
WORDS ROSS KIDDIE
Price:
Mitsubishi Mirage, $17,990
Dimensions:
Length, 3795mm; width, 1665mm; height,
1510mm
Configuration:
Three-cylinder, front-wheel-drive, 1193cc,
58kW, 102Nm,
continuously variable automatic
Performance:
0-100km/h, 14sec
Fuel usage:
4.9l/100km
Given there isn’t a lot of sheet metal to
work with, it’s not easy getting the style
aesthetically pleasant.
I think it’s fair to say Mitsubishi has done
a good job with its new Mirage, the cutesy
mini-car has a distinctive fresh shape, edgy
and styled quite fashionably, especially around
the frontal area where the majority of
changes have taken place.
The new Mirage isn’t totally new, but it’s far
more than a facelift, it’s a far more appealing
car to look at than when the nameplate was
reintroduced here in 2013. The interior, too,
has had a major makeover, it has a trim level
and high quality material that is not what you
would ordinarily expect in a car which sells
for less than $18k.
Underneath the new appearance, little has
changed with Mirage. Mitsubishi say the newgeneration
model has had some suspension
and engineering upgrades to enhance stability,
but they are minor.
Under the bonnet sits a 1.2-litre, threecylinder
petrol engine. It has modest outputs
of 58kW and 102Nm but they are useful
and translate into adequate and economical

engine character, but that is normal with
engines of this configuration, and the Mirage
is not immune. The harmonics are certainly
not unpleasant.
The big benefit of the engine’s meagre
capacity is in its fuel economy. Mitsubishi
claim a combined cycle average of 4.9-litres
per 100km (58mpg). I couldn’t get close to
that, but I’m of the belief that it is achievable.
My average figure sat around 6.3l/100km
(45mpg) which I didn’t figure was too bad
considering I spent a lot of the distance
I travelled in the test car at city speeds.
There’s no instantaneous setting on the trip
computer, but with the engine turning over at
just 2200rpm at 100km/h it would have to be
regarded as fuel-friendly at open road speed.
On the subject of figures, the Mirage will
reach 100km/h from a standstill in 14sec and
is quite happy to launch a highway overtake.
Three-cylinder engines are generally strong
on torque, and it responds well to mid-range
throttle request, with the freedom of CVT it
builds revs and initiates momentum quickly,
well akin to its role anyway.
At city speeds it is lively, there is keen
response to throttle pressure, and with the
beauty of CVT it never feels low on revs,
pick-up is always delivered at the driver’s will.
It is also feels light from behind the wheel,
the electric power steering system doesn’t
afford a lot of feedback, but the tyres (175/55
x 15in, Bridgestone Potenza) are of high
quality and have high grip levels.

When pushed into a corner the Mirage
does lean a little. The spring and damper
rates are set soft, while that affords a
comfortable ride there is a little handling
trade-off. The simplistic front-strut/rear
torsion beam suspension doesn’t encourage
high speed cornering, but accuracy is
satisfactory. The Mirage is there to serve a
different role, and the settings for comfort
are the most desirable in this instance.
It is more of an urban role that the Mirage
marketed at, it is the perfect city runabout
with vision and manoeuvrability well
engineered into the car. Take, for example, its
turning circle of just 9.2m.
The Mirage arrives here in just one
specification at $17,990. It gets air
conditioning, Bluetooth with hands-free voice
activation communication, electric windows
front and rear, six air bags, traction and
stability control, Smartbrake, five
overshoulder seat belts and ISOFIX child
seat tethers. The latter elements combining
to provide a five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program safety rating.
The Mirage makes good use of its compact
proportions. It is a bit tight in the rear for
any more than two, but there is appropriate
leg and head room, likewise up front. The
driver sits a little high in the seat, but other
than that the driving position is comfortable
and ergonomically sound.
The controls are laid out simply in the
traditional Japanese way. I say that because
the Mirage is built in Thailand, yet it
encompasses the Japanese design and build
philosophy. Under the hatch lies a 235-litre
load area, extending to 912-litres with the
rear seats folded. That translates into a useful
load carrying area.
When I picked up the test car I got into a
conversation with one of the friendly sales
staff at the local dealership. He told me that
sales of Mitsubishi vehicles were soaring, and
given last year’s figures that’s quite true. A
major reason for that is the 10-year driveline
warranty Mitsubishi offers, that certainly
gives peace of mind. I’m in no doubt the
new Mirage will last the distance, and over
that period of time the fuel usage savings will
certainly speak for themselves.

Rolleston’s neW RetiRement village
34 Kendon Drive
open monday to Friday 10am - 2pm
Rolleston’s first ‘own your own’ retirement village offers a spacious and secure lifestyle
that also comes with freedom and flexibility for residents.
The first two duplexes, built by Generation Homes Christchurch, have just been
completed at Woodcroft Estate. They mark the start of this exciting new village, with
78 homes planned in total over the next five years along with a manager’s house,
community pavilion and a bowling green (the first in Rolleston).
The village is being established in the popular Devon Park subdivision, with shops
and amenities located nearby in the township of Rolleston.
Spacious two and three bedroom options are coming on stream as duplexes or
standalone villas with single or double garaging. A range of designs and layouts have
been planned to cater for a variety of budgets and preferences, starting from $450,000.
Designed to face north and maximise the sun’s light and warmth, the attractive
brick and tile level-entry villas come with double-glazing, full insulation and LED lighting
for energy efficient living. Other features include a heat pump, quality interior fixtures/
appliances, tiled bathroom and shower and a call system available for 24/7 safety and
peace of mind.
Woodcroft Estate is being presented by The Manor Group, which has 30 years
experience developing villages in the North Island. Some of these include Waterford
Estate in Auckland, Kempton Park in Tauranga and Roseland Park in the Waikato.
The concept of ‘own your own’ is designed to give residents the freedom and
financial benefits similar to home ownership, so should they need to move they will still
enjoy the capital gain of their home. The village will be owned via a Licence to Occupy
that ensures all proceeds from a villa’s sale will go to the actual resident.
Once the village is finished, Manor Group will transfer village ownership into a
residents’ company, enabling residents to contribute to the operation of their own
village, assisted by an on-site manager.
The manager also takes care of the day to day running of the village - repairs and
maintenance as well as the welfare of the residents.
Come and see for yourself or call Corinne Blackie on 03 421 7796.

Health
Vegans less likely to develop diabetes
VEGANS ARE at lower risk
of developing diabetes, new
research suggests.
Consuming animal products
doubles someone’s risk of developing
the potentially fatal condition,
scientists claim.
And it only takes less than a
tablespoon of butter each day,,
according to the Spanish study,
reports the Daily Mail.
Researchers evaluated the link
between eating different types of
fat and type 2 diabetes.
Some 3349 participants were
assessed over a period of nearly
five years by a team from the
Universitat rovira I virgili in
Tarragona.
Consumption of 12g of butter
each day doubled the risk of the
condition, they discovered.
While eating the same amount
of whole-fat yoghurt was associated
with a lower risk, the study
published in the American journal
of clinical nutrition found.
Recently, dietary guidelines
have shifted toward a plant-based
diet rich in legumes, whole-grain
cereals, fruits, vegetables and
nuts.
It is also recommended to keep
consumption of animal-based
foods low, as they may linked to
cancer, heart disease and strokes.
At the same time, vegan diets

have become increasingly popular
in the past few years mainly
due to growing concerns about
the treatment of animals.
More and more people are
ditching the meat in favour of an
animal-free diet,
and research last august suggested
it could be a clever switch
after scientists found swapping
meat and eggs for lentils and
nuts could add years to someone’s
life.
Eating less protein from
animal sources and choosing
instead to eat cereals, beans and
soya, substantially reduced death
rates.
But a study published yesterday
suggested that a lack of meat
in a father’s diet could massively
impact their chances of ever having
grandchildren.
In a study on fruit flies, scientists
from Monash University,
Melbourne, found skipping out
on protein can damage their offspring’s
chances of conceiving.

are less likely to develop
type 2 diabetes, according to

HEARING WEEK 26TH FEBRUARY - 4TH MARCH
The link between Hearing
Impairment & Dementia
Multiple studies indicate hearing loss
can be linked to the onset of dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease. Leaving hearing loss
untreated could pose a serious risk that has
not been widely shared with the hearing
impaired population.
Frank R. Lin, MD, Ph.D conducted
a study commonly cited by medical
professionals on the topic of hearing loss
and cognitive decline. The study observed
1,984 adults over the course of six years,
tracking the progression of their hearing
loss in relation to their cognitive function.
Dr. Lin concluded that while further
research was needed to identify the
mechanics of how and why hearing loss
and cognitive decline are related, there is
little doubt that hearing loss is a factor in
loss of mental acuity in older adults.
The study also indicated that the more
severe the hearing loss, the greater the
likelihood of developing a cognitive
disorder, and the steeper the decline in
mental function. However, even subjects
with mild hearing loss were found more
likely to experience cognitive failures.
“Declines in hearing abilities may
accelerate gray matter atrophy and
increase the listening effort necessary to
comprehend speech…Hearing aids may
not only improve hearing but preserve the
brain,” said Dr. Lin.
Recently, Dr. Lin and his team released
new results regarding changes in the brains
of adults with normal hearing to those of
adults with hearing loss.
After undergoing magnetic resonance
imagining (MRI) exams every year for
ten years, 51 of the 126 participants
examined who had at least a 25-decibel
(dB) hearing loss from the start, displayed
accelerated rates of gray matter shrinkage
when compared to the 75 participants with
normal hearing.
Those with hearing impairments lost
more than an additional cubic centimeter
of brain matter annually and experienced
greater shrinkage of tissue in the structures
responsible for processing sound and
speech. The atrophy affected the middle
and inferior temporal gyri, which play key
roles in memory and sensory integration.
Early diagnosis and treatment of hearing
loss may slow the progression of dementia
and Alzheimer’s disease.
As evidence continues to mount that
hearing loss is a contributing factor in the
development of dementia and Alzheimer’s
disease, it is imperative to consider the
profound consequences of ignoring
hearing loss.
People with hearing loss on average wait
seven years from when they are diagnosed
to seek treatment, even though the sooner
hearing loss is detected and treatment
begins, the more hearing ability can be
preserved. Considering early diagnosis
and medical intervention also slows the
progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s
disease, it is more important than ever for
patients to get their hearing loss treated
sooner rather than later.

Discreet or invisible?
Today’s hearing aids are so tiny that
many people may not even notice that
you are wearing one.
To hear family talk about their day, share
a joke with a friend, listen to the crunch of
the sand or the sound of a summer breeze,
these are the sounds that enrich our lives
but hearing loss can sneak up on you,
reducing your enjoyment of these precious
moments.
Even a mild hearing loss can cause
subtle changes in the way you live your
life at work, home and at play. Hearing
loss impacts not only your well-being and
quality of life but also on those around you.
In fact, one third of people over sixty five
are affected by treatable hearing loss in
New Zealand. Don’t’ suffer in silence any
longer. Today’s hearing aids are so tiny
that many people may not even realise

HEARING WEEK 26TH FEBRUARY - 4TH MARCH
Sound advice
for hearing
problems
Qualified expertise and experience is
essential in providing the best overall
approach in assessing those with hearing
difficulties. Doctor of Audiology, Brian
Conaghan and Audiometrist, Lisa Scott
make up part of the team on hand to deal
with hearing difficulties. Brian has been an
Audiologist for 30 years. He believes on an
emphasis for personalised hearing care.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CLINIC?
After completing a full history Brian or
Lisa will identify and measure any hearing
loss and provide unbiased advice on helping
you with your hearing problem. This could
include information, referral to your GP or
an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist or fitting
of an appropriate hearing aid.
Realistic expectations about what to expect
from a hearing aid are crucial. Some
advertisements for hearing aids generate
unrealistic expectations, the truth is:
• Hearing aids cannot eliminate background
noise but are able to reduce it.
• A hearing aid is no substitute for natural
hearing but will greatly improve hearing
television, family, visitors and groups.
• The most expensive hearing aid is NOT
necessarily the best aid for you. The cost
of hearing aids vary greatly depending on
the technology required. Your hearing
needs may not require a hearing aid with
the most expensive technology. You should
be fitted with appropriate technology to
assist with watching television, hearing the
Grandchildren clearly and helping you to
be a part of family conversations without
asking them to repeat themselves.
• There is a wide choice of hearing aid
technology and styles.
• Hearing aid selection should be based on
patient needs.

Hearing is a
treasure
Hearing week is a great time to reflect
on the role that hearing plays in our lives.
It helps connect us to others and maintain
relationships. It helps us in our working
and personal lives. It helps us hear birds
singing and grandchildren whispering.
Hearing is a treasure.
The technology available today is
astounding. Hearing aids are smarter,
smaller, more comfortable and simply
deliver superior sound. But hearing well
is credited not only to the hearing aids,
but equally to your personal audiologist.
Getting hearing aids is the beginning of
a long relationship. Your audiologist will
be there to help you over
the years as your hearing
changes, to adjust your
devices, listen to your
questions and ensure
that you are hearing the
best you possibly can.
Continuity and having a
genuine rapport is key so
choosing who cares for
your hearing can make
all the difference.
At Sincock & Till
Audiology, audiologists
Brenna Sincock and
Carolyn Till pride
themselves on their
friendly, personal service.
You will always see the same friendly
audiologist, who knows you and
understand your hearing issues.

HOW TO PLAY
It’s like sudoku: each
vertical and horizontal
line has to contain
the numbers 1-6, and
the numbers can’t be
repeated in any row or
column.
But it’s sudoku with a
twist: The numbers in
each heavily outlined
set of squares, called
cages, must produce the
number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means
the numbers add up to 5,
9x means the numbers
multiply to equal 9.
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the
same line or row.

the most common mistake made by runners of all levels. To
prevent over striding keep your stride short and try and land on
your mid-foot rather than on your heel. Once you start running
you can introduce a slight “total body” forward lean (so not just
the upper torso). This body position will give you the added
benefit of a gentle forward pull by the forces of gravity. In a
previous article I mentioned the importance of rhythm and that
is easier achieved with a shorter stride. Stay low to the ground
to minimise the forces of impact. Have your arms relaxed; bend
elbows with hands moving up and down in front of your chest
dictating the rhythm of your legs.

TIP OF THE WEEK
If you are hoping to
achieve some weight
loss as part of your
programme this is the
time that you should
see a shift in your
weight. One of the
tricky things regarding
weight loss through
exercise is that any loss of fat can be offset by
an increase in muscle bulk. As muscle tissue is
heavier than fat a net gain in weight can be the
result in the short term for some people. So if
you have not lost weight and you have kept to
a healthy diet, don’t despair as this might be the
main reason. Your own unique response to your
exercise regime will decide when you will start to
lose weight and how much you will lose. The good
news is that the health benefits from a regular
exercise programme are still the same, regardless
of the amount of weight you lose (or not).

Elite cyclists race in Cheviot
• By Gordon Findlater
MORE THAN two hundred of
the country’s top cyclists will
descend on Cheviot this Sunday
for the first round of the Calder
Stewart Cycling Series.
With the North Canterbury
town being heavily affected by
the closure of State Highway
1 into Kaikoura, organisers
decided to take a round of the
series to Cheviot for the first
time to support the township
and local businesses.
In the men’s event of the King
Electrical Cheviot Classic, a
number of Christchurch riders
will be in the mix, including
Max Jones, who has previously
tasted race victory in the series.
Jake Marryatt, who finished
third in both the under-23 time
trial and road race at this year’s
national championship, will also
compete.
The Cheviot race will feature a
record 12 men’s teams, making
it the biggest race of the series
with 82 riders. The masters’ race
will feature 14 teams and 80
riders, while eight teams and 45
riders will contest the women’s
race.
Hokitika’s Sharlotte Lucas will
be among the favourites in the
women’s race and is out to defend
the series title she has won

for three straight years.
“You’re racing against some
of the best riders in the country.
It’s been a great springboard into
other teams. I’m now riding for
a team in Australia and have
done for the last two years,” said
Lucas.
Her recent form also saw her
selected in the New Zealand
women’s team which competed
in the Cadel Evans Great Ocean
Road Race in Australia last
month.
Now back on home soil,
Lucas will face a tough field in
Cheviot, including current New
Zealand No 3 Kate McIlroy. The
former world mountain running
champion finished 10th in the
triathlon at the London Olympics
and won sportswomen of
the year at the Halberg Awards
in 2005.
Sunday’s route is a new course.
It will use parts of State Highway
1 that have minimal traffic
due to earthquake-affected
roads.
Former New Zealand and
Oceania time trial champion
Paul Odlin, 38, is old enough to
ride in the masters’ race, but will
take on the elites on what he describes
as a challenging course.
“I’ve done the track in the
opposite direction, which is the
easy way. It’s going to be technical
and very challenging because
of the steep little climb in the
middle,” said Odlin.
The 27km loop will start and
finish in Cheviot. Competitors
will ride 8km along Gore Bay
Rd and follow the coast for
2km. After a few challenging
climbs, riders then head towards
Domett on Hurunui Mouth Rd
before turning onto State Highway
1 back to Cheviot.
The six round South Island
series finishes with the Hell

October.
Ngatai chases superstock podium finish at Woodford Glen
CHRISTCHURCH’S Malcolm
Ngatai will look to fend off a
challenge from three of the North
Island’s top superstock drivers at
Woodford Glen on Saturday.
The South Island Superstock
Champs field will include current
2NZ Jordan Dare and his Red
Waka Motorsport teammate
Wayne Hemi, of Palmerston
North. They will be joined
by Wanganui’s Ron Tye, who
raced for the Glen Eagles at
last month’s superstock teams’
champs in Palmerston North.
Ngatai, a former New Zealand
superstock champion, recently
debuted a new car, picking up
two wins and a second place in
Palmerston North.
Ngatai is a favourite this weekend,
as are fellow Cantabrians
Jamie Hamilton and Peter Ross,
who have all been very quick
recently.
Heading the charge for the
rest of the South Island will be
defending champion Shane Harwood
from Nelson. Harwood’s
clubmates, Jared Gray, Trevor
Lineham and Brett Nicholls, are
also highly rated and will be keen
to stand on the winners’ podium.
With 27 confirmed entries,
there is no doubt race fans will be
treated to an action-packed night
of high horsepower superstock
action.

combination as you will find
in Super Rugby, will be hoping
Julian Savea can discover some
of the consistency of his dynamic
brother Ardie.
Pre-season is a notoriously
unreliable guide, but the Hurricanes
performed well in both
15s hit-outs and reached the
Brisbane Tens semifinals.
So the ingredients are there for
the Hurricanes to again top the
New Zealand Conference and
win the whole shebang.

Food truck fit-outs a specialty
for established diesel workshop
Diesel Doctor has introduced a new specialty to
meet growing demand.
When it comes to servicing and maintaining latemodel
diesel vehicles, particularly 4WDs, there’s not
much that Tony Wessels and his team at Diesel Doctor
don’t know.
Tony, a qualified engineer and mechanic, established
the business in 1994, built it up over the years,
and today has another two full-time Technicians
with him in the workshop. Their equipment
includes the latest technology to diagnose any
problems quickly, so they can carry out all necessary
electronic or mechanical service and repairs.
Now, Diesel Doctor has introduced a new specialty
to meet growing demand. Using his engineering
skills, Tony fits out vehicles such as food trucks,
coffee vans and camper vans with gas and electrical
equipment so they meet legal requirements for safety
and can be certified.
In fact, he recently finished completely building
a food truck for a Christchurch operator. Tony says
he has noticed food trucks in the city that are not
operating safely, and are actually dangerous, and he
emphasises the importance of having such vehicles
fitted out correctly by a professional so they comply
with regulations. This will avoid potential accidents
with gas cylinders and electrical wiring, he says.
For enquiries about diesel servicing and
repairs or to discuss truck fit-outs, contact Tony
at Diesel Doctor, phone 338 8884, or call into
288 Lincoln Road, Addington, where there is
plenty of off-street parking available.

• By Ross Kiddie
NOT ONLY do French
automobile manufacturing
companies build their
vehicles with a lot panache
and style, but such is the
way their designs turn out
it’s hard to classify some
into definite categories.
Take the Citroen DS5,
for example; well, actually
the DS series is marketed
independently from
Citroen, but its coupelike
body shape is so
avant-garde it could well
be classified as a station
wagon (estate) or even a
sport utility vehicle.
That is something the
manufacturers would
want, European designs
are different, some work
in terms of aesthetics and
appeal, some don’t.
In the case of the DS5
I think you could say the
shape definitely works,
it is an elegant, classy
crossover vehicle and
it has functionality and
practicality built into it as
well.
The DS5 lands here at
$64,990; it isn’t a budget
car but you do get a lot
for the money. For one it
is loaded with features,
and it is built with a plush,
comfortable environment
which looks after five
adults with ease.
Major features of note
include full leather trim,
electrically operated and
heated front seats, threepart
panoramic roof,
satellite navigation and a
host of electronic features
for convenience and
safety.
Under the bonnet sits a
2-litre turbocharged diesel
engine, it is an engine
which epitomises the
European way of engine
manufacture, it is strongly
boosted low down which
provides a dynamic driving
experience. Maximum
power of 133kW is
CITROEN DS5: Coupe-like body styling.
delivered at just 3750rpm,
while a huge flow of torque
from as low as 2000rpm is
rated at 400Nm. Such are
generous outputs, the DS5
will accelerate to 100km/h
from a standstill in 9.9sec
and will make a highway
overtake in 4.8sec (80km/h
to 120km/h).
• Price – Citroen DS5,
$64,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4530mm; width,
1850mm; height,
1510mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1997cc,
133kW, 400Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.9sec
• Fuel usage –
4.4l/100km
Drive is sent through
a traditional six-speed
automatic transmission.
Citroen has long adopted
this type of driveline and
as its experience shows,
the DS5 has a power plant
which is smooth and
decisive, it’s so unflustered
in its delivery that you are
hard pressed to remember
that it is diesel-fed, and
when the turbocharger is
delivering its impetus the
feel of acceleration is quite
rewarding.
Not that that comes
TASTEFUL: The DS5 has a patterned leather interior.
with a fuel usage cost.
Citroen rate the DS5 with
a 4.4-litre per 100km
(64mpg) combined cycle
average, which sits well
with the 6.8l/100km
(41mpg) figure constantly
showing on the vehicle
dash display. At 100km/h
the engine is turning
over very relaxed at
just 1500rpm offering
a 4.8l/100km (56mpg)
instantaneous return.
That last comment
reinforces my earlier
mention of available
power, at that speed the
engine bursts into life
providing strong midrange
acceleration.
I took the test car on
a long State Highway 72
loop from Waddington to
the Rakaia Gorge, the DS5
cruises effortlessly, there is
barely any noise intrusion
and it feels so comfortable
within the chassis. That’s
no surprise, Citroen
has long built supple
suspension systems and
the DS5 is no different.
When it comes time
to tackle the twists and
turns, like those into the
gorge, body balance is well
controlled, the DS5 sits
low at just 1.5m and riding
on high quality, low profile
Michelin Pilot rubber
(235/45 x 18in), the DS5
has strong grip at both
ends, it also has directional
accuracy which affords the
driver a sporty feel.
The DS series
is marketed with
performance as a
criteria which is why
I made mention of its
uncharacteristic design
in the first instance, it is a
vehicle which fills multiple
roles.
That aside, the DS5
is a smart piece of kit,
and although its price is
little on the hefty side,
it is a car which will
constantly please given
the imagination within its
design.

Make a good first
impression
How mucH time do you spend at the
front of your property? You probably
just drive up the road, pull into your
driveway, and maybe pause to check the
mail. You don’t really spend very much
time at all looking at the front of your
house from the street and nor does
anybody else. If someone did spend
more than a minute or two looking at
the front of your house, you’d probably
take down their rego as a precaution.
which leads me to the design of
the front yard. How much garden can
we take in during the 10 seconds or
so of cursory glance that form first
impressions, street appeal? No matter
what your tastes, life philosophy or
budget, your front garden is what
represents your property – even if the
rest of it is an unholy mess. In my case
I’m guilty of being a winter garden
sloth, so this year the unholy mess
basically started at the front and, as
far as I could tell when I bothered to
look, went right to the back. There are
some nice plants in the front of my
place and the fence still looks okay. The
thing that is missing is good continuity.
Remedying this unfortunate state of
affairs has required me to take stock
and apply my top five front yard or
“kerb culture” tips to myself.
Less is more.
when creating street appeal, the person
viewing your property doesn’t have a
lot of time to take in the information
in front of them. It is important that
they view the garden as complete, so
having lots of different plants as eye
candy or different materials thrown in
is distracting. Your front garden will
NEW LISTINGS
look ... distracted. on the other hand, a
restricted plant choice with maybe one
hard landscape material is easy to “get”,
giving the viewer a sense of coherence.
Clean lines are easy and quick
to evaluate, again adding to the
sense of coherence
There are plenty of examples of
seemingly random elements looking
quite good from the road front. But
look more closely and I’ll bet you’ll
find the best examples of these have
some sort of logic or linear sequence,
which makes them stand out as “well
designed”.
Work with the surrounding
landscape.
This is an excellent way to develop
ideas and tie your property into its
environment. Look for materials and
plants that appeal and think about the
geography of your property. If you’re
near the beach, look for plantings or
materials that complement the natural
plants you see around you.
Be realistic about maintenance.
No matter how good your ideas are, if
your good idea has gone bad it looks
like a bad idea. my main problem has
always been weeds, so I’ve applied a
huge amount of mulch over cardboard
to suppress them.
Be practical first and decorative
second.
The best place to start is with the
practical things. If you solve things like
maintenance, access and privacy, you
will end up with is a front garden that is
functional as well as appealing.

Looking for the very best personalised care for your loved one?
Our Seminar on wellness, transition and care
will help you understand everything you need to know
At Arvida we have a very personalised approach
to care, and want to help individuals, families
and carers considering the move into a full care
environment with everything they need to know.
We’re running seminars this week that will help
you understand some important things about life
transitions as we age. We welcome anyone who
has questions about aged care to come and share a
cuppa with us as we talk about our vision to remain
active and part of things for longer. We’ll also cover
the importance of wellness, resilience, and what
Arvida offers in our care options and the Arvida
Household Model.
Our Care Villages in Christchurch provide the very
best in professional care and Maples, Mayfair and
Ilam have vacancies available right now. If you need
help or if you have budget worries, let’s chat. We
can help you learn about your subsidy entitlements
and we’re sure we’ll be able to look after you. If
you’re a family member, you’ll be able to relax,
knowing that your loved one will be welcomed into
the community, looked after with friendly, personal
attention and cared for like family.
Call one of our villages listed below to RSVP, or just
come along to one of the seminars. We look forward
to having a chat with you about your needs.
