WELCOME TO the new<br />
Christchurch, where neighbours<br />
are becoming closer than ever.<br />
But as we show on page<br />
1 today, some neighbours<br />
are going to be too close for<br />
comfort.<br />
Kim Mehlhopt has every right<br />
to be furious about what is happening<br />
next to her.<br />
Who in their right mind<br />
would want to live like this? And<br />
what will this do to the value of<br />
her home.<br />
<strong>The</strong> problem lies with the<br />
District Plan and is a snapshot<br />
of what is to come for Christchurch.<br />
Not a good outlook, so to<br />
speak.<br />
A nice story on page 3 about<br />
a seal pup the McEwin family<br />
rescued.<br />
Finn McEwin found it at the<br />
top of Gebbies Pass, took it home<br />
and his wife and family looked<br />
after it like one of their own.<br />
Great photos of it having a<br />
sleep and looking very much at<br />
home.<br />
No surprises for what they<br />
called it – Luseal.<br />

Sleepover for seal pup<br />
Luseal spends<br />
night in family’s<br />
bathroom<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
WHEN LARRISSA McEwin’s<br />
husband, Finn, found a seal pup<br />
at the top of Gebbies Pass, she<br />
wasn’t expecting it to spend the<br />
night in her bathroom.<br />
But that’s exactly what happened.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple’s house is halfway<br />
between Teddington and<br />
Motukarara, several minutes<br />
drive along narrow, winding<br />
roads, so how the seal pup got<br />
there is a mystery.<br />
“It was there in the car park<br />
near the walking track, right<br />
near where we live. My husband<br />
called me up and said: ‘What do<br />
I do?’ It was a Friday evening,<br />
there was a storm arriving and<br />
there’s boy racers everywhere up<br />
there on a Friday.”<br />
She called the Department of<br />
Conservation, which asked if<br />
she was okay to have it for the<br />
night and return it to the beach<br />
the following day.<br />
“I was a bit surprised. I said<br />
sure – but how do you look after<br />
a seal? I didn’t have any fresh<br />
fish in the house. We opened a<br />
tin of tuna for it which it didn’t<br />
eat of course. It slept on the floor<br />
in the bathroom. It was a very<br />
good house guest, didn’t make<br />
much noise at all. We poked our<br />
heads in every now and then to<br />
check on it, and there were its<br />
wee eyes looking up at us – it<br />
was gorgeous! I’d love to have<br />
kept it.’’<br />
Mrs McEwin christened the<br />
pup Luseal.<br />
“My five-year-old daughter<br />
thought it was amazing. We<br />
made a collage of photos and she<br />
took it to school for show and<br />
tell.”<br />
DOC senior ranger Anita<br />
Spencer said they had had several<br />
calls on the after hours<br />
EXCITED: Larrissa McEwin with her children Harvey, 2, and<br />
Lyiah, 5, near where the seal pup was found at the top of<br />
Gebbies Pass. Named Luseal, by the family, it spent a night<br />
in their bathroom before being released back to the wild the<br />
following day by Finn McEwin.<br />
hotline about a seal pup on<br />
the road near Gebbies Pass on<br />
<strong>September</strong> 1.<br />
“It’s very unusual to find a<br />
seal pup so far from the sea or a<br />
stream and it’s not known how it<br />
got there,” she said.<br />
“I phoned the caller back<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
and spoke to Mrs McEwin<br />
who, by that stage, had put the<br />
seal pup in a box and taken it<br />
home. Because it was late and a<br />
southerly front had just arrived,<br />
she was advised to keep the seal<br />
safe overnight and to release it<br />
in Lyttelton Harbour the next<br />
morning. <strong>The</strong> seal pup was in<br />
good condition, which indicated<br />
it had been weaned and was doing<br />
well.”<br />
On Sunday morning, Mrs<br />
McEwin took Luseal down to<br />
Purau Beach.<br />
“Finn carried the box; we<br />
walked around the rocks and<br />
it hopped out and sat there,<br />
looking at us and looking at the<br />
water. <strong>The</strong>n it toddled off into<br />
the water and swam off. It was<br />
doing big twirls and lifting its<br />
flipper; it went right out into the<br />
harbour then swam back and<br />
looked at us, as if to say ‘thanks<br />
for having me’.”<br />
•DOC’s advice to people<br />
if they see seals on or<br />
near the coast is to avoid<br />
approaching them. If you<br />
come across a seal that has<br />
been injured, or one that is<br />
in danger of being harmed<br />
or causing harm, phone<br />
DOC on 0800 362 468.<br />
In Brief<br />
HOME INTRUDER<br />
A Merivale family woke in the<br />
early hours of yesterday morning<br />
to find a man in their house rifling<br />
through the drawers in a bedroom.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Winchester St residents found<br />
the man dressed in dark clothing<br />
in their house at about 3.30am.<br />
When confronted, the man ran<br />
off, police said. Police are asking<br />
anyone with information about<br />
the intruder to phone them on<br />
363 7400 or anonymously through<br />
Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.<br />
RESIDENTS AT WAR<br />
In last week’s article on tenants<br />
living in fear at a St Albans social<br />
housing unit, it was reported<br />
that people causing trouble were<br />
parolees. This was incorrect. <strong>The</strong><br />
Department of Corrections has<br />
confirmed no parolees are living<br />
at Pickering Courts, and none<br />
have lived there in recent years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> regrets the error. •More<br />
problems, p10<br />
FAKE RUGBY MEDIC<br />
Police have not yet spoken to<br />
the man under investigation for<br />
allegedly impersonating a medic<br />
and assisting an injured rugby<br />
player during a colts game on July<br />
8. <strong>The</strong> investigation was launched<br />
after the man, who was wearing a<br />
shirt that made him appear to be a<br />
medic, fitted the injured player with<br />
a neck brace and administered an<br />
unknown medicine.<br />
UNEXPLAINED DEATH<br />
Police are not treating the death<br />
of a 28-year-old Indian woman on<br />
Monday morning as a homicide.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are making inquiries on<br />
behalf of the coroner to establish<br />
the cause of death, which is unexplained.<br />
Emergency services were<br />
called to a Selwyn St apartment<br />
at about 9.10am and found the<br />
woman’s partner performing<br />
CPR on her. Detective Senior<br />
Sergeant Greg Cottom said the<br />
woman’s name would not be<br />
released until family overseas had<br />
been notified. He said police and<br />
victim support are helping the<br />
family who are coming to terms<br />
with a tragic loss.<br />

News<br />
Woman feels crushed as new<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford and<br />
Andrew King<br />
KIM MEHLHOPT bought<br />
her Spreydon home 15 years<br />
ago because she liked the<br />
neighbourhood, privacy and the<br />
character houses.<br />
But now, five two-storey townhouses<br />
are being built next door to<br />
her Bolton Ave home – the garage<br />
less than 1m away – has made the<br />
50-year-old very, very angry.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council says the effect<br />
on her<br />
property is less<br />
than minor.<br />
When<br />
finished, the<br />
residents living<br />
next door will<br />
look out of<br />
Kim Mehlhopt<br />
their windows<br />
directly into<br />
her front yard, living room, a<br />
bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and<br />
back yard.<br />
“It is so close, they’ll be able<br />
to hear me peeing, and I will be<br />
able to hear them humping,” Ms<br />
Mehlhopt said.<br />
She says the development<br />
will devalue her home, cost her<br />
privacy and the street’s family<br />
appeal. It would also make access<br />
DANGER: Kim Mehlhopt laid a complaint with WorkSafe after<br />
she photographed a contractor standing on the fence on<br />
Tuesday while working on the townhouses.<br />
to her underground drains running<br />
between the two properties,<br />
and her fire exits, difficult, she<br />
said.<br />
But it is compliant with the<br />
city council’s District Plan zoning,<br />
developed following the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
CONTRAST: <strong>The</strong> two Bolton Ave houses used to be separated<br />
by a driveway, and now there is little room between the two<br />
properties (right).<br />
So Ms Mehlhopt has taken<br />
matters into her own hands by<br />
trespassing contractors from<br />
her property, calling police, and<br />
laying complaints with WorkSafe<br />
for contractor practices.<br />
JSJ Investments bought the<br />
neighbouring property a couple<br />
of years ago.<br />
Director Nick Johnston, who<br />
also owns the NRJ Construction<br />
which is building the townhouses,<br />
said the development<br />
was compliant because the land<br />
was zoned L3. <strong>The</strong> zone allows<br />
for residential medium density<br />
housing.<br />
He said the reason it was so<br />
close was because Ms Mehlhopt’s<br />
home had been built too close to<br />
the boundary.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proximity of her home was<br />
not considered when designing<br />
the townhouses, he said.<br />
“In L3 you build the max site<br />
coverage.”<br />
But Ms Mehlhopt said “working<br />
to the letter of the law doesn’t<br />
make it right.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y have not been sensitive to<br />
the needs of the neighbourhood.”<br />
She said her 121-year-old<br />
house’s location had never been<br />
an issue, and the city council<br />
must have placed the boundary<br />
around it after it was built.<br />
Ms Mehlhopt said she knew<br />
nothing about the townhouses<br />
until contractors started working<br />
on site a couple of months ago.<br />
She said she should have been<br />
consulted.<br />

Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
townhouses go up<br />
But city council head of<br />
resource consents John Higgins<br />
said the adverse effects were<br />
considered “less than minor”, so<br />
it did not need to be notified.<br />
He said the development was<br />
compliant and all inspections<br />
had passed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> District Plan did not<br />
require garages to have a<br />
setback, as long as it did not<br />
exceed 10.1m in length along the<br />
boundary, he said. <strong>The</strong> setback<br />
for other buildings was 1m, he<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision to allow the<br />
development could only be<br />
overturned by the courts, if<br />
there had been an error in the<br />
processing, he said.<br />
Ms Mehlhopt said on Tuesday<br />
a contractor put his ladder on her<br />
front lawn to install the spoutings<br />
next door because there was<br />
no room over the fence.<br />
She said she asked him to<br />
leave three times, and verbally<br />
trespassed him.<br />
“If the city council consents to<br />
this, they must know you can’t<br />
complete the project without<br />
touching somebody else’s land.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> contractor then stood on<br />
the fence separating the two<br />
properties to do the work, initially<br />
without wearing a harness,<br />
she said. Ms Mehlhopt reported<br />
it to WorkSafe.<br />
A WorkSafe spokeswoman<br />
said it would write to the<br />
business concerned seeking a<br />
response.<br />
She said it did not meet the<br />
criteria for an immediate on-site<br />
visit because it did not pose an<br />
imminent risk.<br />
Ms Mehlhopt said she also<br />
phoned police who said it would<br />
be difficult to enforce a blanket<br />
trespass on contractors because<br />
there were so many coming and<br />
going.<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere Community<br />
Board chairwoman Karolin<br />
Potter said “terrible” situations<br />
like this were happening more<br />
frequently, which was concerning.<br />
“It’s so unfair for people who<br />
have bought a house thinking<br />
the symmetry of the street will<br />
stay the same.”<br />
Ms Mehlhopt met with<br />
Labour Wigram MP Megan<br />
Woods yesterday.<br />
Dr Woods said she would follow<br />
it up with the city council,<br />
and would also have a broader<br />
discussion with Spreydon residents<br />
about it happening all over<br />
the suburb.<br />
“That’s very high density and<br />
very close.”<br />
Ms Mehlhopt, who is currently<br />
unemployed, said she<br />
requested the townhouse plans<br />
and would tee up a visit with a<br />
city council planner to discuss it.<br />
She said her earthquake-damaged<br />
house was in a poor state,<br />
but until EQC re-levelled the<br />
house piles, she could not do any<br />
maintenance.<br />

Burning log causes<br />
Airbnb house fire<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A BURNING log falling out<br />
of a fireplace caused the huge<br />
house fire which hospitalised six<br />
tourists in Sumner.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wooden, three-storey house<br />
on Clifton Tce went up in flames<br />
about 8.30pm on Sunday while a<br />
Malaysian family of 10, renting<br />
it through Airbnb, were upstairs<br />
praying.<br />
Specialist fire investigator Mark<br />
Thomas told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> yesterday<br />
material falling from the fire had<br />
caused the blaze.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> place had a lot of modern<br />
furniture, which has a heavy fuel<br />
load, and the house was timberframed<br />
with timber cladding.<br />
That, combined with the furniture,<br />
is why it went up so fast, but<br />
that is not unusual in house fires.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can get very big, very fast,”<br />
he said.<br />
Of the six taken to Christchurch<br />
Hospital, four had moderate<br />
injuries and two had minor injuries,<br />
mainly smoke inhalation, a<br />
St John spokesman said.<br />
Mr Thomas said the family was<br />
alerted to the blaze by a smoke<br />
alarm which saved them from<br />
serious injury or worse.<br />
GUTTED: <strong>The</strong> three-story<br />
house will have to be pulled<br />
down after a fire ripped<br />
through it on Friday.<br />

“One of the men tried to<br />
smother the flames but they overcame<br />
his efforts and he suffered<br />
burns to his arm,” Mr Thomas<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family escaped through the<br />
back door, as flames had blocked<br />
the front, he said.<br />
“Once they were outside their<br />
yelling alerted one of the neighbours,<br />
who phoned 111, which is<br />
exactly what we want people to<br />
do,” he said.<br />
Mr Thomas praised the fact<br />
the house had working smoke<br />
alarms.<br />

and Kate Jenkins, do not live in<br />

High school students win beard battle<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
A BATTLE for beards at a<br />
Canterbury high school could<br />
open the door to rule changes<br />
around facial hair at other<br />
schools.<br />
Lincoln High School students<br />
have won a year-long campaign<br />
for facial hair, with the school<br />
board of trustees agreeing to<br />
drop its clean shaven-only rule<br />
as a trial.<br />
It came after a survey of staff,<br />
students and parents at the<br />
school found many supported<br />
allowing facial hair.<br />
Secondary Principals’ Association<br />
chairman Phil Holstein,<br />
who is principal of Burnside<br />
High School, said he expected<br />
more Canterbury schools would<br />
have their policies questioned<br />
because of the trial at Lincoln.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re has mostly been consistency<br />
with uniforms, but once<br />
you start varying from it more<br />
schools start to follow,” he said.<br />
A 16-year-old Hornby High<br />
School student was suspended<br />
two years ago for refusing to<br />
shave. He chose to leave the<br />
school and enrol in correspondence<br />
school after the dispute.<br />
Most Christchurch high<br />
schools, including Hornby, still<br />
have a clean shaven-only rule.<br />
Hagley Community College<br />
is an exception and has no dress<br />
code.<br />
Former Lincoln High School<br />
student Andrew Hudson began<br />
the campaign for beards last<br />
year, putting a formal proposal<br />
to the school board of trustees<br />
last <strong>September</strong>.<br />
He said it was about selfexpression.<br />
“Many of the male students<br />
who I discussed this with viewed<br />
that the females at high school<br />
had their own way of self-expression<br />
by being allowed to wear<br />
certain piercings, have their hair<br />
styled in any way they wished, as<br />
well as colouring it,” he said.<br />
Board of trustees chairman<br />
Adrian Paterson said the board<br />
had not yet finalised the conditions<br />
around the trial, and that<br />
was set to happen at the next<br />
board meeting.<br />
He said the trial would run until<br />
the end of next year, when the<br />
SCHOOL RULES:<br />
•Christ’s College: [Students] must be clean-shaven and<br />
their hair and personal appearance must always be neat.<br />
•Linwood College: Students at all levels must be clean<br />
shaven.<br />
•Hagley Community College: Beards allowed.<br />
•Christchurch Boys’ High School: Boys are to be clean<br />
shaven.<br />
•Middleton Grange School: Boys are to be clean shaven.<br />
•Cashmere High School: Male students at all levels must<br />
be clean shaven.<br />
•Hornby High School: Students must be clean shaven.<br />
board would evaluate it again.<br />
“We will look at how many<br />
students take it on board, and<br />
whether any issues crop up. <strong>The</strong><br />
question is will it affect their<br />
learning, and obviously we<br />
thought it shouldn’t, but we may<br />
come across issues.”<br />
Lincoln High School principal<br />
Kathy Paterson said the survey<br />
had shown opinions on facial<br />
hair had been divided.<br />
She would not release the survey<br />
results, which she said were<br />
still being worked on.<br />
“I would prefer to keep the status<br />
quo, but that’s my personal<br />
view. We’ve got to be willing to<br />
listen to the voice of students and<br />
parents, and that’s what we’re<br />
doing,” she said.<br />
Hornby High School principal<br />
Robin Sutton said his school<br />
was open to changes, and had<br />
recently made its uniform requirements<br />
gender-neutral, after<br />
a presentation by students.<br />
But he said there were no plans<br />
currently to change rules around<br />
facial hair, because it impacted<br />
the community perception of<br />
students, he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y make judgements based<br />
on superficial things like what<br />
students look like,” he said.<br />
Linwood College principal<br />
Richard Edmundson said students<br />
regularly asked him about<br />
the clean shaven rule, but he had<br />
no plans to change it.<br />
He said that was partly because<br />
of the risk of bullying.<br />
“It avoids kids saying I can<br />
grow one and you can’t,” he said.<br />

THE PERFECT FINISH<br />
Marley Stormcloud<br />
available from Edward Gibbon<br />
While renovating their 1960’s home in Beachlands, Neil and Marsha felt<br />
the exterior needed work to transform it into the home they envisioned.<br />
<strong>The</strong> recent addition of the brand new Marley Stormcloud® spouting in<br />
glossy black, made their home one of the first in the country to have<br />
Marley’s latest colour addition to the Stratus Design Series® range. Black is<br />
now available in Marley Stormcloud® and Typhoon® spouting, and RP80®<br />
downpipes.<br />
Neil says: “Our old spouting and downpipes were white which made<br />
the home feel a bit dated. We believe the black has truly transformed the<br />
modern look and style of our home.”<br />
“With rainwater our only supply of water and water safety imperative for<br />
our family, we went with Marley uPVC because it was certified to potable<br />
water standards. Being only 700 metres to the coast durability was really<br />
important also as we didn’t want to risk corrosion or rusting over time<br />
from metal spouting.”<br />
Stormcloud’s quarter-round profile was chosen to suit the architectural<br />
style of the 1960s home, with the added bonus of being the perfect<br />
solution to the constraint of the house’s short fascia boards.<br />
When asked what advice Neil would give others looking to undertake<br />
a similar project, he said: “Plan, plan, plan but have plenty of fun in the<br />
process. Be open to new ideas and where possible prioritise good building<br />
materials.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest lesson of all?<br />
“Always listen to your wife.” says Neil.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Halswell lake claims mother, father<br />
• By Kurt Bayer<br />
A DRIVING lesson turned into<br />
tragedy leaving a five-month-old<br />
baby an orphan and a family<br />
mourning.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bodies of Sheetal Ram,<br />
31, and her husband Avneel, 27,<br />
were removed from a lake in<br />
Halswell yesterday morning after<br />
a car plunged into the water on<br />
Tuesday night.<br />
Family member Hinesh Kumar<br />
identified the bodies at the<br />
scene as those of his sister-in-law<br />
her husband, police are yet to<br />
formally identify them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple are the parents of a<br />
five-month-old girl.<br />
<strong>The</strong> large group of family<br />
and friends formed a guard of<br />
honour as the bodies were carried<br />
from the lake shore to the<br />
waiting hearse.<br />
Mr Kumar said Avneel was a<br />
“hero” for trying to save his wife<br />
after their car slipped into the<br />
lake, reportedly while he was<br />
giving Sheetal a driving lesson,<br />
about 5.45pm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family is devastated and<br />
are being consoled by friends.<br />
“This is obviously a very<br />
tragic event for the wider family,<br />
many of whom are here at the<br />
moment,” Superintendent Todd<br />
said.<br />
TRAGEDY: Avneel Ram and wife Sheetal died when their car plunged into a Halswell lake. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
leave a five-month-old baby girl.<br />
“What appears to have occurred<br />
is that about 5.40pm the<br />
vehicle has driven into the lake<br />
and we’re determining exactly<br />
what the causes are.”<br />
He said in spite of speculation<br />
about what had happened, it was<br />
too early to confirm anything.<br />
A crane pulled the car out of<br />
the lake yesterday afternoon. It<br />
was found in poor visibility at a<br />
depth of about 6m, Superintendent<br />
Todd said.<br />
He wouldn’t confirm exactly<br />
where the bodies were found,<br />
whether they were inside or<br />
outside of the vehicle.<br />
Victim Support and police liaison<br />
officers were with the family.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple’s child was being<br />
cared for by family members of<br />
the Fijian Indian couple, originally<br />
from Suva.<br />
“He is a hero to us. He tried<br />
to save his wife. Not everyone<br />
would do that,” Mr Kumar said.<br />
“We never expected this to<br />
happen to us.<br />
“We are totally lost. We don’t<br />
know what to do now, we don’t<br />
know what the next step will be.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> close-knit Fijian Indian<br />
community in Christchurch is a<br />
big help, the family say.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y described the couple<br />
as “very friendly, very happy<br />
people”.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were really fun to be<br />
around, really nice,” Mr Kumar<br />
said.<br />
Sheetal came to New Zealand<br />
last year, but her husband has<br />
been in New Zealand for about<br />
five years. He ran an air conditioning<br />
company and was well<br />
known in the community. He<br />
was teaching his wife how to<br />
drive so she could find work.<br />
Witness Jordan Fleming said<br />
he was walking his dog past the<br />
Westlake Reserve when he saw a<br />
woman in a red hatchback in the<br />
car park, and a man outside trying<br />
to open the driver’s door.<br />
“I heard the accelerator go<br />
and that’s when the car went off<br />
the bank down the hill into the<br />
lake,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man jumped in and swam<br />
after the sinking car, diving and<br />
resurfacing several times, Mr<br />
Fleming said. <strong>The</strong>n he dived and<br />
did not reappear.<br />
Firefighters and police tried to<br />
dive down to the vehicle to see if<br />
anyone was trapped inside.<br />
Other witnesses said two other<br />
people who tried to save the pair<br />
were taken away by ambulance.<br />
A diver went into the lake but<br />
came up indicating he could not<br />
reach the vehicle, locals say.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lake sits in the middle<br />
of a housing development in<br />
Halswell. Residents say it’s a deep<br />
former shingle quarry, popular<br />
with runners, walkers, cyclists<br />
and children feeding ducks.<br />

More trouble<br />
at housing<br />
complex<br />
PROBLEMS AT the Pickering<br />
Courts social housing complex<br />
are continuing, with several units<br />
and vehicles vandalised over the<br />
weekend.<br />
Tenants at the St Albans complex<br />
found yellow graffiti sprayed on their<br />
units and vehicles on Saturday night.<br />
<strong>The</strong> vandalism is the latest in a<br />
string of problems at the complex.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> revealed last week that<br />
police have been called several times<br />
in the past year over problems, including<br />
disorder, injuries and threats<br />
to shoot other residents’ pets.<br />
Resident Dawn Satherly, 80, had<br />
her car vandalised on Saturday.<br />
She has lived in the complex for<br />
more than 20 years, and said she had<br />
never seen so many problems.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> place has absolutely deteriorated,”<br />
she said.<br />
She said she called police when she<br />
discovered the graffiti at about 10pm<br />
on Saturday, but she had not heard<br />
back. She also notified the Ōtautahi<br />
Community Housing Trust, which<br />
manages the former city council<br />
housing complex.<br />
Trust chief executive Cate Kearney<br />
said the trust pro-actively followed<br />
up on any tenancy-related complaints.<br />

Rugby boys get bigger<br />

Christchurch Central<br />
RUGBY BOYS are getting<br />
bigger and stronger.<br />
And our leading rugby<br />
secondary school appears to<br />
be doing all it can to keep pace<br />
with the top schools in the<br />
North Island.<br />
At the weekend, Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School were<br />
crowned national under-15<br />
champions when they defeated<br />
Hamilton Boys’ High School<br />
22-18 in Wellington.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team also completed the<br />
perfect season in doing so.<br />
In the past, Christchurch<br />
teams have been beaten for size<br />
and strength when coming<br />
up against some of the North<br />
Island’s powerhouses.<br />
However, it wasn’t the case<br />
this time around, thanks to<br />
an all-Tongan front row that<br />
combined for more than 350kg<br />
in pushing power, as well as two<br />
locks who are both either side<br />
of 2m.<br />
It’s hoped the trio of Junior<br />
Fifita, <strong>14</strong>, Anfernee Ofa, <strong>14</strong>,<br />
and Tobais Fukofuko, 15, will<br />
continue to develop their power<br />
and prowess in the front row.<br />
<strong>The</strong> development of a tight five<br />
BIG BOYS: Junior Fifita, Anfernee Ofa and Tobais Fukofuko<br />
already combine for 350kg of power and are the future of<br />
front-rowers.<br />

that can dominate at a national<br />
first XV level is a priority for<br />
CBHS.<br />
“In recent years, we’ve realised<br />
that’s an area some of the<br />
North Island schools have an<br />
advantage over us, so it’s good<br />
to see boys like this coming<br />
379-3589 379-3589<br />
through here,” said CBHS<br />
rugby co-ordinator Rob Smith.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hours on the scrum<br />
machine appear to be paying<br />
off for the up-and-coming front<br />
rowers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also have a good tactic<br />
at the breakfast table for growing<br />
big and strong.<br />
“It’s usually Weet-Bix with<br />
heaps of sausages and eggs,”<br />
said Ofa jokingly.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y make us run a lot and<br />
do lots of push ups.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> boys already have their<br />
eyes on the bigger picture as<br />
well.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> plan is Mitre 10 Cup<br />
for Canterbury, New Zealand<br />
under-20s, Super Rugby for<br />
the Crusaders and then the All<br />
Blacks,” said Fukofuko.<br />
Behind them in the locks are<br />
Josh Taula, 15, and Jamie Hannah,<br />
<strong>14</strong>. With Taula at 204cm<br />
and Hannah 197cm, CBHS also<br />
look to have found a couple of<br />
giants in the locking department.<br />
It’s not just the forwards<br />
that are getting big at an early<br />
age.<br />
One of the team’s wingers<br />
is Ollie Hansen – son of All<br />
Blacks coach Steve Hansen –<br />
who is described by his coach,<br />
Phil McKay, as a 190cm fastrunning<br />
outside back.<br />
Most of the squad are<br />
expected to play in the third,<br />
second or first XV squads next<br />
season, but even against older<br />
boys, they should still have<br />
them for size.<br />

Rae’s decades-old fight for National<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
IF YOU’VE seen a friendly<br />
looking chap parked on<br />
the side of the road with a<br />
National Party sign waving to<br />
motorists – that’s Rae Mills.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 76-yearold<br />
has been sitting<br />
on the side<br />
of busy roads<br />
at peak travel<br />
times promoting<br />
National<br />
every election<br />
for the last decade.<br />
But he’s been volunteering<br />
for the party for much longer.<br />
Mr Mills, who moved<br />
to Christchurch in 1984,<br />
wasn’t always a National supporter.<br />
He switched from Labour<br />
about 40 years ago when he<br />
was chairman of Southland’s<br />
Otatara Kindergarten committee.<br />
National had been in Government<br />
and told Mr Mills it<br />
had pledged money towards a<br />
loan for the kindergarten.<br />
But when Labour won the<br />
1972 general election, Mr<br />
Mills was told the Government<br />
did not have the money<br />
in its budget.<br />
Mr Mills said he then<br />
marched into National’s<br />
Wallace MP Brian Talboys’<br />
office to see if he could help.<br />
“He said I’ll sort that out for<br />
you,” Mr Mills said.<br />
“Eleven days later I got a<br />
reply from Education Minister<br />
Phil Amos saying approval has<br />
been granted for your loan.<br />
“I was quite impressed,<br />
because I was Labour.”<br />
He has been volunteering<br />
for National ever since.<br />
Mr Mills has been parking<br />
on the side of Halswell Rd,<br />
Ferry Rd in Ferrymead, and<br />
State Highway 1 between<br />
Christchurch and Amberley<br />
waving to passers by since<br />
July.<br />
He does it on weekdays for a<br />
couple of hours in the mornings<br />
and evenings.<br />
“About 80 per cent of people<br />
wave,” he said.<br />
“I believe in what I’m doing,<br />
I know it’s working.”<br />
His role was to encourage<br />
people to party vote National,<br />
followed by its candidate for<br />
each electorate, he said.<br />
DEDICATED:<br />

election.<br />

HUNTER<br />
“It really is about people<br />
ticking both boxes.”<br />
He said the outcome of the<br />
<strong>September</strong> 23 election would<br />
be tight – but he hoped National<br />
would come out on top.<br />
Mr Mills, who is a former<br />
builder and now works at<br />
Mitre 10 Mega Ferrymead,<br />
said he was happy to continue<br />
volunteering during election<br />
time if his wife Pat says it’s<br />
okay.<br />
“I’m still fit and well and<br />
able to do it.”<br />

Scribe reveals<br />
challenges on<br />
social media<br />
RAPPER SCRIBE has taken to<br />
social media to reveal he is “four<br />
days clean”.<br />
In a video on Instagram, Malo<br />
Ioane Luafutu shared that he’s<br />
tackling his challenges and is ready<br />
to show the world he will bounce<br />
back.<br />
“4 days clean . . . I’m a show everybody<br />
they ain’t know who they<br />
f**king with . . . #heartbreakkid<br />
#innerstrength #meagainsttheworld<br />
#singlelife #yolf.”<br />
In 2011, Scribe revealed he<br />
suffered from drug, alcohol and<br />
gambling addictions.<br />
Police allege he was found with<br />
an offensive weapon, namely a bat,<br />
on Ollivers Rd, Phillipstown.<br />
It’s also alleged he was found in<br />
possession of a Class A controlleddrug<br />
amphetamine and a pipe.<br />
He also faces three charges<br />
of failing to answer bail. <strong>The</strong><br />
Christchurch rapper captured the<br />
hearts of New Zealanders when his<br />
debut album <strong>The</strong> Crusader was released<br />
in 2003. It went gold within<br />
hours and platinum after just a<br />
few days. Luafutu was remanded<br />
on bail to a case review hearing on<br />
November <strong>14</strong>. His bail conditions<br />
require him to report to a police<br />
station twice a week.<br />
Sports legends’ comeback<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
CANTERBURY’S sporting<br />
heroes will once again see the<br />
light of day after Lancaster<br />
Park’s Pillars of Pride were<br />
salvaged last week.<br />
What is next for the pillars,<br />
which were created to recognise<br />
Canterbury rugby and cricket<br />
greats, is yet to be decided.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Rugby<br />
Football Union Historical Trust<br />
has come into possession of the<br />
26 rugby pillars, which were left<br />
stricken at Lancaster Park ahead<br />
of its demolition.<br />
Warren Barberel, who is<br />
leading the trust’s efforts to<br />
salvage the pillars, says there are<br />
a few ideas currently floating<br />
around such as placing them<br />
around Rugby Park.<br />
Some of the former players<br />
represented on the pillars, their<br />
families and clubs have also<br />
inquired about getting their<br />
hands on some of them.<br />
Fergie McCormick, who still<br />
holds the record of 222 games<br />
for Canterbury, was the first to<br />
have a pillar created.<br />
He still remembers the day<br />
his pillar went up at Lancaster<br />
Park and described it as a huge<br />
honour and a great memory.<br />
GREATS: Les McFadden, Warren Barberel and Gary Tibbotts<br />

Pride.<br />

He was obviously stoked to<br />
hear the pillars had finally been<br />
recovered.<br />
“That’s marvellous – I’m<br />
pretty over the moon about<br />
that,” said McCormick.<br />
“I didn’t want to see them end<br />
up in a pit.”<br />
He is keen see the pillars put<br />
on display at Rugby Park if all<br />
the former players and families<br />
agree. Otherwise, he’d like to<br />
see it stay within his family<br />
and on display at Linfield Park<br />
– the home of his Linwood<br />
Rugby Club. Ian Penrose, who<br />
captained Canterbury 64 times<br />
in his 103 appearances between<br />
1963 and 1971, is also happy to<br />
see the pillars safe and is open to<br />
what happens next.<br />
“If everyone can agree to a<br />
display at Rugby Park, I’ll be<br />
happy,” said Penrose.<br />
“Otherwise, I may look at<br />
offering it to the museum at<br />
New Brighton.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pillars of Pride are made<br />
of steel and curved to fit around<br />
the pillars at Lancaster Park.<br />
Other players with pillars<br />
include Sydenham legend<br />
Maurice Dixon, the oldest living<br />
All Black Tiny Hill and hardman<br />
Alex Wyllie.<br />
<strong>The</strong> historical trust has been<br />
operating out of the old physio<br />
room at Rugby Park for the past<br />
two years, collecting Canterbury<br />
rugby memorabilia.<br />
<strong>The</strong> idea to set up the trust<br />
came just over a decade ago<br />
during the CRFU’s 125th<br />
anniversary.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> objective was to form<br />
a little group and we would<br />
attempt to get a hold of<br />
memorabilia,” said Mr Barberel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust currently has around<br />
2000 items, which range from<br />
programmes and jerseys to<br />
boots, films and books.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> dream is that we would<br />
have a Canterbury rugby<br />
museum,” said Mr Barberel.<br />
“Let’s see what we might get if<br />
we get a new stadium.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust also has the 12<br />
cricket Pillars of Pride, including<br />
the likes of Richard, Walter and<br />
Dayle Hadlee.<br />
Canterbury Cricket are<br />
expected to collect them shortly.<br />

Meet new friends and make money by<br />
Hundreds of people in<br />
Christchurch are now<br />
opening their homes<br />
to complete strangers,<br />
as home-stay<br />
networks like Airbnb,<br />
Couchsurfing and<br />
Bookabach take off.<br />
Gabrielle Stuart spoke<br />
to some of the hosts<br />
WHEN ARIANA Braving wakes<br />
up in the morning, it is usually<br />
to a house full of strangers.<br />
More than 500 people have<br />
stayed at their Russley home in<br />
the year since she and her husband,<br />
Ryan Braving, first listed it<br />
on Airbnb.<br />
Each morning she lays out<br />
a breakfast for the guests –<br />
cereals, tea and coffee – answers<br />
any questions they have, and<br />
sometimes drops them off to the<br />
airport or to pick up rental cars.<br />
After the guests leave, a couple<br />
of hours are spent cleaning and<br />
changing bedding, then getting<br />
the rooms ready again – restocking<br />
toiletries and making up the<br />
beds with crisp new sheets and<br />
neatly folded towels.<br />
It’s a lot of work, but she said it<br />
had also changed her life.<br />
Last year, she quit her job as a<br />
scientist to pursue her dream of<br />
being a life coach.<br />
<strong>The</strong> extra income from<br />
Airbnb meant she could afford<br />
to spend the year studying and<br />
starting her own life coaching<br />
business.<br />
“It’s almost a part-time job,<br />
helping me do what I love to do,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are about 2000<br />
Christchurch homes currently<br />
listed on Airbnb, ranging from<br />
$15 for a bed in a shared central<br />
city unit, to $1298 for exclusive<br />
use of a seven-bedroom luxury<br />
lodge in Ferrymead, complete<br />
SERVICE:<br />
Scientist<br />
Ariana<br />
Braving said<br />
she began<br />
offering<br />
rooms in<br />
her Russley<br />
home, which<br />
cost $26, $54<br />
or $105 per<br />
night, as an<br />
extra source<br />
of income<br />
while she<br />
started her<br />
own business.<br />

It uses a review system similar<br />
to Uber or Trade Me. Guests can<br />
see reviews of a host before they<br />
book a room through the website<br />
or mobile app, and hosts can<br />
see feedback left about the guest<br />
before they accept a booking.<br />
Bookabach is a similar service,<br />
started in New Zealand in 2000.<br />
Its focus is holiday homes and<br />
baches, with about 3000 currently<br />
listed around the South<br />
Island, including cabins in the<br />
bush, ski chalets, and homes on<br />
private beaches.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Couchsurfing service is<br />
also popular, with more than<br />
5000 hosts listed in Christchurch.<br />
It’s difference is that guests<br />
stay for free, with the focus on<br />
building relationships – it is often<br />
used by travellers, who open<br />
their own homes and then stay<br />
with people from other cities.<br />
Wanaka resident Terry recently<br />
stayed with the Bravings on<br />
the way back from a two-month<br />
trip around Europe – where he<br />
stayed at dozens of Airbnbs.<br />
He said he had been using the<br />
service for more than five years,<br />
and his experiences had been<br />
overwhelmingly positive – from<br />
the home in the Italian alps<br />
which looked like it was “out of<br />
a fairytale,” to the messy looking<br />
flat where the residents were so<br />
friendly he stayed for five days.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> main thing is you’ve got<br />
to do your research. Check what<br />
the comments are like, they’ll<br />
usually show you any issues,” he<br />

He said he chose to stay at the<br />
Bravings because it was close to<br />
the airport, but said they had<br />
been “absolutely lovely” hosts.<br />
Mrs Braving said the experience<br />
of meeting travellers from<br />
all over the world had been<br />
fascinating.<br />
She said the<br />
majority came<br />
from Europe<br />
or Africa, but<br />
they also had<br />
guests from<br />
more unusual<br />
places such<br />
as Zimbabwe<br />
Kate Dickson or South<br />
America.<br />
She said they had never had<br />
any serious problems with guests,<br />
although a few had been rude or<br />
really dirty.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y had spent about $1500 on<br />
high quality sheets and towels to<br />
set up the rooms, but the extra<br />
income had covered the expenses<br />
pretty quickly, she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple have listed their<br />
rooms for $26 for a single bedroom,<br />
$54 for a queen bedroom,<br />
or $105 for both.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir location close to the<br />
airport meant they had guests<br />
staying most nights, even in<br />
winter, she said.<br />
BEACHSIDE: At $220 per night, Kate Dickson’s self contained<br />
North Beach studio is more expensive - but it comes with use<br />
of their pool and sauna, a full kitchen and bathroom and even<br />
complementary crackers and cheese.<br />
She said it had been a great<br />
experience, but she did not<br />
think they would carry it on<br />
long-term.<br />
“If you have a lot of guests it<br />
does get tiring, because you don’t<br />
have privacy,” she said.<br />
Privacy was also a concern for<br />
hosts Kate Dickson and Martin<br />
Little, who have listed their selfcontained<br />
North Beach studio on<br />
Airbnb.<br />
“For me, personally, the self<br />
contained part is the clincher. It<br />
depends how much you like your<br />
own space,” Ms Dickson said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir studio is one of the<br />
higher-priced listings on the site,<br />
costing $220 per night.<br />
But it has proven very popular,<br />
especially over summer – it is<br />
already booked for all but four<br />
nights in January – and it recently<br />
made the Airbnb NZ list of<br />
most favourited listings around<br />
the country.<br />
She said they built the studio<br />
as a home office for their design<br />
and marketing business, but no<br />
longer used it.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y joined Airbnb hoping<br />
it would pay for their rates, she<br />
MAKING FRIENDS: Spark<br />
and Angela Weng offer a<br />
bedroom and ensuite in their<br />
Addington home for $36 per<br />
night, and say they did it as a<br />
way to meet new people.<br />
said, but it had proven a lot more<br />
popular than they expected.<br />
“We were so amazed by how<br />
popular it was. Every morning<br />
I’d look at my phone and say: ‘Oh<br />
wow, another request’.”<br />
She went the extra mile to<br />
make the place feel like a luxury<br />
stay, ironing the sheets and providing<br />
cheese and crackers when<br />
guests arrived.<br />
She said some of the guests<br />
had been fascinating people –<br />
including a United States navy<br />
commander, and a photographer<br />
who had worked on the set of TV<br />
shows like <strong>The</strong> Blacklist.<br />
Since they started hosting, the<br />
couple had done more travelling<br />
themselves, she said, staying at<br />
Airbnb homes in Hawaii and<br />
Australia.<br />
Spark and Angela Weng have<br />
been hosting people since 20<strong>14</strong>,<br />
and their Addington home is one<br />
of the most popular in Christchurch.<br />
Mr Weng said he had lost<br />
count of the number of visitors,<br />
but he estimated it was close to<br />
1000.<br />
At $34 per night for a stay<br />
in their ensuited spare room,<br />
they didn’t make a lot of money<br />
through the service – but they<br />
did it to meet people, he said.<br />
“We’ve made some good<br />
friends, and that’s more important<br />
than money. Friends from<br />
France and Italy and Singapore<br />
and Hong Kong,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir youngest guest had<br />
been a 4-month-old baby from<br />
Germany, and the oldest an<br />
80-year-old American who was<br />
still travelling the world.<br />
He said they would keep hosting<br />
as long as they had a spare<br />
room available.<br />
“We meet different people and<br />
we learn interesting things. It<br />
opens our minds, too, which is<br />
really great,” he said.<br />

Health blow prompts plan<br />
to restore father’s classic car<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
FOR THE Cornish family, life<br />
has revolved around cars, the<br />
garage and the race track.<br />
So when Gary Cornish was<br />
told he had terminal cancer last<br />
month, his five children decided<br />
restoring a special car was the<br />
best way to honour him.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are looking for help to<br />
restore Mr Cornish’s classic Ford<br />
Zephyr Zodiac Mk3, which has<br />
been in the family for about 30<br />
years.<br />
His daughter, Stefanie Cornish,<br />
said he had always planned<br />
to restore the car once he retired<br />
– but the cancer diagnosis had<br />
cut that plan short.<br />
Mr Cornish has both brain<br />
and lung cancer, and learned<br />
three weeks ago it was untreateable.<br />
His family was told this week<br />
he may not live to see the end of<br />
the year.<br />
“He doesn’t have very long<br />
left, so we’re just trying to do as<br />
much as we can for him before<br />
he goes, because he’s done a lot<br />
for all of us kids,” she said.<br />

brother Phillip race national<br />
CLASSIC: Gary Cornish’s Mk3<br />
Ford Zephyr Zodiac has been<br />
in storage for years, but after<br />
his terminal cancer diagnosis<br />
last month his children are<br />

Right – Gary Cornish and his<br />
speedway race car <br />
class speedway, and she said a lot<br />
of their friends from the track<br />
had volunteered to help restore<br />
the car.<br />
Mr Cornish learned to drive<br />
in the car, which had been given<br />
to him by his father, Gordon<br />
Cornish, she said.<br />
“It’s been a part of our life<br />
since before I was born. It’s more<br />
than just a car to him,” Stefanie<br />
said.<br />
She said it needed a lot of<br />
work, but it would be a chance<br />
for the family to spend time<br />
together in the garage.<br />
“All of us are in on it, we all<br />
want to help dad. So all of us will<br />
pitch in and do some work, and<br />
dad will probably help out when<br />
he’s able to,” she said.<br />

US legal battle over<br />
for former city woman<br />

A FORMER Christchurch<br />

Kellie Hendry had<br />
two children to a United<br />

the relationship ended.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple had never<br />
married and Kellie’s<br />
eldest child, Lili, was<br />
born in New Zealand.<br />
But the children’s<br />
father disputed they should be<br />
able to leave the country and the<br />
US authorities agreed.<br />
But because of a bizarre legal<br />
quirk Ms Hendry was deemed<br />
an illegal immigrant. She was<br />
therefore unable to leave the<br />
United States but unable to<br />
work to support her children.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 45-year-old and her<br />
children Lili, now 12, and<br />
Cameron, 10, ended up living<br />
in a homeless shelter in Harlem.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y received just $175 a week<br />
in food stamps and Government<br />
handouts.<br />
It was a far cry from Hendry’s<br />
Kellie Hendry<br />
earlier life in New York. She<br />
moved there in 2003 to work as<br />
a nanny for a wealthy family on<br />
the Upper East side.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y would fly her around the<br />
world in their private jet before<br />
eventually offering her<br />
a full-time job at their<br />
publishing company.<br />
This week – more than<br />
six years after her legal<br />
nightmare began – Ms<br />
Hendry was finally<br />
granted a green card<br />
allowing her to legally<br />
work and stay in the<br />
United States.<br />
“I never thought it<br />
would take as long as it did.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no legal resolution to<br />
people caught in an immigration<br />
situation like my own.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> only way Ms Hendry<br />
finally managed to get the<br />
green card was by marrying<br />
her new partner Sid Brown.<br />
She believes she would still be<br />
stuck in legal limbo if she hadn’t<br />
married.<br />
Ms Hendry said she’s “delighted<br />
the nightmare is finally<br />
over and she can bring her children<br />
home to meet their New<br />
Zealand family.”<br />

3D printing used to heal broken bones<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> is running a<br />
series on the work of<br />
University of Otago<br />
researchers based at<br />
Christchurch Hospital,<br />
ahead of their public<br />
showcase next month.<br />
This week we look at<br />
how 3D printers may<br />
be used to heal broken<br />
bones<br />
Christchurch researchers are<br />
growing veins in the laboratory<br />
as part of a project aiming to<br />
create large 3D-printed pieces<br />
of bone for use in orthopaedic<br />
surgery.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work is being done by the<br />
University of Otago’s Christchurch<br />
Regenerative Medicine and<br />
Tissue Engineering (CReaTE)<br />
Group.<br />
CReATE’s Dr Khoon Lim said<br />
a focus of tissue engineering<br />
researchers was being able to<br />
produce large, functional pieces<br />
of replacement bone, with their<br />
own blood supply or veins.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CReaTe group were worldleaders<br />
in the field of research,<br />
he said.<br />
Dr Lim said one of CReaTE’s<br />
current projects is developing<br />
EXPERIMENTS: University of Otago Christchurch researcher<br />
Dr Khoon Lim is part of a team which is working on ways to 3D<br />
print living bone for use in surgery.<br />
an implant to boost the healing<br />
of patients with traumatic bone<br />
fractures requiring surgery.<br />
“Now when patients break<br />
bones, surgeons often graft bone<br />
from another part of the body.<br />
We are working on a way for patient’s<br />
own cells to be implanted<br />
into the defect to harness the<br />
natural healing capacity of the<br />
body, without the trauma of graft<br />
surgery.”<br />
Dr Lim says a personalised<br />
‘scaffold’ would be 3D-printed to<br />
match the shape of the damaged<br />
piece of bone. Layers of human<br />
cells and proteins are then infused<br />
through the scaffold.<br />
When the scaffold is implanted<br />
in the patient, different proteins<br />
will be released at different stages<br />
of healing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first stage is the growth of<br />
new blood vessels.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> idea of what we are trying<br />
to achieve is that the patient can<br />
return to their normal activity<br />
of everyday life. This means that<br />
their broken bone, for example,<br />
is as strong and functional as it<br />
was before.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> laboratory-stage work is<br />
being funded by the Health Research<br />
Council of New Zealand.<br />
Dr Lim hopes the technology<br />
could be used in surgery within<br />
five years.<br />
CReaTe is part of the University<br />
of Otago, Christchurch’s Orthopaedic<br />
Surgery Department.<br />
Professor Gary Hooper is head<br />
of the department and one of<br />
New Zealand’s leading orthopaedic<br />
surgeons, so CReaTE’s<br />
research is done with a view to<br />
how it could benefit patients and<br />
surgeons.<br />

Nicky Wagner<br />
THIS ELECTION is a<br />
contest of ideas. Every day<br />
of the campaign, National<br />
has been rolling out policies<br />
to ensure New Zealanders<br />
know about our plan to<br />
take Christchurch and the<br />
country forward.<br />
Our plan supports<br />
growth, backs businesses, focuses on<br />
more jobs, lifting household incomes, and<br />
providing a safety net for those in need.<br />
<strong>The</strong> strong economy, backed by National’s<br />
successful plan, means we can build<br />
on our already comprehensive support for<br />
families and households.<br />
Here’s just a few of our policies: Those<br />
on the average wage will get $1000 a<br />
year under our family incomes package<br />
– that’s about $26 a week for more than<br />
1.3 million working families. It will also<br />
benefit about 750,000 superannuitants<br />
and 41,000 students.<br />
Our parents and newborns package will<br />
support families to grow and stay healthy,<br />
while also putting more money in their<br />
pockets with 22 weeks’ paid parental<br />
leave.<br />
Cheaper GP visits will benefit 600,000<br />
more low income Kiwis and, by lifting<br />
elective surgeries to 200,000 a year, we’ll<br />
ensure access to life-changing operations<br />
– like hip replacements – for thousands<br />
more New Zealanders.<br />
National is focused on making our<br />
communities safer. We’re clamping down<br />
on crime, holding offenders to account<br />
and breaking the cycle of offending. We’re<br />
pumping half-a-billion dollars into the<br />
police to put more officers on the street<br />
and work toward our goal of making New<br />
Zealand the safest country in the world.<br />
National is also deeply committed to<br />
getting Christchurch back on its feet<br />
following the quakes. <strong>The</strong> Government<br />
has spent more than $<strong>14</strong> billion on the<br />
rebuild so far, and that’s forecast to rise to<br />
more than $17 billion by 2021.<br />
This year alone, we’ve opened three new<br />
schools, completed the $2.2 billion horizontal<br />
infrastructure repair programme,<br />
unveiled the Canterbury Earthquake National<br />
Memorial, announced a contract to<br />
complete the design and construction of<br />
the Convention Centre, put forward $120<br />
million for a new multi-use arena, committed<br />
to a new specialist mental health<br />
facility, and handed over 90,000 sq m of<br />
residential red zone land for community<br />
projects.<br />
Also, last week’s decision by the Anglican<br />
diocese to accept the Government’s<br />
offer to reinstate Christ Church Cathedral<br />
was a real thrill and a huge leap forward<br />
for our city.<br />
As the Minister supporting Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration, Christchurch<br />
Central MP and a proud Cantabrian, I<br />
have and will continue to do my best for<br />
Christchurch – the city of opportunity.<br />

Put Reader’s Question in the subject line<br />
Women’s suffrage reminds<br />
us of importance of voting<br />
A SIGNIFICANT part<br />
of Christchurch’s history<br />
is being celebrated at the<br />
national conference of the<br />
New Zealand Council of<br />
Women being held here<br />
this weekend.<br />
Although the history of<br />
the National Council of<br />
Women dates back to its<br />
formation in Christchurch<br />
in 1896, three years after<br />
the successful campaign<br />
for women’s suffrage gave<br />
New Zealand women the<br />
right to vote in a world<br />
first, it was in 1917 that the<br />
Christchurch Branch of<br />
NCW was formed.<br />
In preparing for welcoming<br />
the conference delegates,<br />
I have been looking<br />
back at the history of the<br />
suffrage movement and<br />
NCW, both led by Kate<br />
Sheppard, which are as<br />
much a part of our history<br />
as a city as they are the history<br />
of our nation.<br />
Although the issues may<br />
have changed, the underlying<br />
principles have not.<br />
In the 1890s, according<br />
to Te Ara, “they were concerned<br />
with such issues as<br />
the introduction of old age<br />
pensions, the regulation<br />
of hours and conditions<br />
of work, the extension<br />
of technical education<br />
both in primary and in<br />
secondary schools, and<br />
penal reforms such as the<br />
classification of types of<br />
criminals, the introduction<br />
of the indeterminate<br />
sentence, and the abolition<br />
of capital punishment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were also concerned<br />
with equal pay, and<br />
with compulsory jury service,<br />
for women. <strong>The</strong>y also<br />
endeavoured to encourage<br />
women to serve on local<br />
bodies. Later, they turned<br />
their attention to advocating<br />
the appointment of<br />
women as justices of the<br />
peace and as members of<br />
the police.”<br />
I mention this, as it is<br />
important to remember<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
that we can make gains as<br />
women, as minorities, as<br />
people with disabilities,<br />
only to see them disappear<br />
with the stroke of a<br />
legislative pen. <strong>The</strong>re is an<br />
expression ‘use it or lose it’.<br />
Okay, no-one is going to<br />
take away our right to vote,<br />
(although there is always a<br />
risk around local democracy<br />
as we know here),<br />
but if we have won gains<br />
we value, then we have to<br />
participate if we don’t want<br />
to lose them.<br />
I’ve already voted in<br />
this election. <strong>The</strong>re are a<br />
lot more advance polling<br />
booths this year and no<br />
longer do you have to attest<br />
that you won’t be in your<br />
electorate on the day. It’s<br />
your choice when you vote,<br />
but make sure you do.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Children get into election<br />
I VIVIDLY remember the 1984<br />
election. I was 10-years-old and<br />
there was a sense that change was<br />
in the air.<br />
I remember watching the<br />
new candidate for Sydenham,<br />
Jim Anderton, holding a street<br />
meeting outside of our family<br />
home. I also have brief snatches<br />
of memories of the 1981 election<br />
held in the wake of the Springbok<br />
tour. I remember driving along<br />
Lincoln Rd and asking my dad<br />
what “Think Big” on the signs<br />
meant.<br />
I’ve been recalling these<br />
memories as I have been watching<br />
the growing fascination children<br />
are having with this election. It<br />
seems that the events happening<br />
around them are pulling some<br />
of them away from their screens<br />
and iPads. <strong>The</strong>y are turning up<br />
at my street corner armed with<br />
questions and a desire to know<br />
more.<br />
Visiting local schools has<br />
become more intense as children<br />
are lining up to know more. Two<br />
of the most frequent questions<br />
I get are ‘when did I last see<br />
Jacinda’ and ‘what is my favourite<br />
colour’. However, there is also a<br />
smattering of questions that go to<br />
the heart of this election. Cleaning<br />
up rivers and making sure we<br />
don’t mess up our world is top of<br />
their lists.<br />
Lots of the local schools are<br />
taking part in the Electoral<br />
Commission’s mock election<br />
where children are encouraged<br />
to look at what the parties are<br />
saying and will be asked to cast<br />
a vote based on what they have<br />
found out. This is an outstanding<br />
initiative and the commission and<br />
the schools taking part deserve<br />
huge congratulations. Let’s hope<br />
this creates a generation of voters.<br />
I love campaigns but this<br />
engagement by children with<br />
what is going on is putting an<br />
extra spring in my step. I believe<br />
we have a duty to leave our world<br />
better than we found it and the<br />
constant sight of children’s faces<br />
constantly reminds me of that.<br />

Readers react to the<br />
Anglican synod’s decision<br />
to reinstate Christ Church<br />
Cathedral, six years after<br />
it was badly damaged<br />
in the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake<br />
Raymond Watchman –<br />
Folks, set aside your feelings<br />
about religion. See the Cathedral<br />
as Christchurch’s most<br />
iconic building. It’s restoration<br />
will make it a powerful symbol<br />
of the spirit of the Christchurch<br />
community as a whole, rising<br />
undaunted, undefeated, from<br />
the anguish and rubble of tremendous<br />
disaster. You cannot<br />
really put a monetary value on<br />
such a powerful symbolic testimony<br />
to the human spirit, the<br />
spirit of the people of Christchurch.<br />
Lyn Jarman – Money<br />
should have been redirected to<br />
those affected by the quakes,<br />
particularly in areas of mental<br />
health. Restoring the Cathedral<br />
will not give those people any<br />
hope or help. Will the doors be<br />
left open so the homeless can<br />
sleep in it? Will it entice those of<br />
us back – people are the heart of<br />
Otautahi, not a building.<br />
Carolyn Phil Murphy –<br />
Fantastic, another positive step<br />
towards the future of Christchurch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cathedral is the centre of<br />
the city – let’s hope this decision<br />
will encourage others to<br />
move ahead with central city<br />
projects.<br />
Rob McGregor – <strong>The</strong><br />
church can decide to do whatever<br />
it wants with its property – as<br />
long as it pays for it.<br />
But that’s not the case here<br />
and a very small minority are<br />
going to have their new house of<br />
worship largely paid for by nonbelievers<br />
like me. Sorry, I am<br />
not happy with this decision.<br />

Our People<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Larina Tiffen<br />
Author captures best of humanity<br />
ANGELS: Larina Tiffen organised thousands<br />
of donations to be delivered to people in and<br />
around Kaikoura after last year’s North Canterbury<br />
earthquake.<br />
Larina Tiffen from Miss Lilly’s Angel Trust has written a book<br />
about Christchurch residents who, having experienced a disaster<br />
themselves, stepped up to help after the 7.8 magnitude North<br />
Canterbury earthquake in November. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart<br />
Could you tell me a bit about the<br />
people in your book?<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re really just ordinary people<br />
doing extraordinary things in a time<br />
of need to help other people. <strong>The</strong> book<br />
is called Come Together, and we’ve featured<br />
30 local families who suffered in<br />
the Canterbury earthquakes. <strong>The</strong>y tell<br />
their stories of how the earthquakes<br />
affected them, and why they came<br />
to help Miss Lilly’s Angels after the<br />
North Canterbury earthquake.<br />
It must be difficult to pick – but<br />
could you tell me a couple of their<br />
stories?<br />
Well, there was Phil and Mike, who<br />
lost their homestead and then their<br />
dad in the earthquakes. When the<br />
North Canterbury earthquake hit,<br />
they drove as far as they could and<br />
then walked the rest of the way to<br />
Kaikoura to try to help.<br />
Another was Maria, who on<br />
<strong>September</strong> 4 was giving birth to her<br />
daughter when the power went out<br />
and everything turned to custard.<br />
She and her friends came out with<br />
a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado full of<br />
toiletries and hand sanitiser and essentials<br />
they donated, because she had<br />
been through it herself and she knew<br />
how terrifying it was.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there were the people from<br />
North Canterbury, like Sparky, who<br />
was home with his wife and daughter<br />
and five grandchildren when the<br />
earthquake hit. How they got out alive<br />
I don’t know. <strong>The</strong>y were isolated and<br />
could hear the slips all around them.<br />
As the kids were coming down<br />
their stairwell, the hot water cylinder<br />
popped up and buckled the stairs, so<br />
one of the boys couldn’t get past. He<br />
had to go out to the deck and jump<br />
and, as he jumped, the whole deck<br />
collapsed. <strong>The</strong>n they got to the railway<br />
and as they got there they saw the sea<br />
was gone. So they said, if we go up the<br />
hill we’ll be hit by rocks, if we don’t<br />
we’ll be hit by a wave. He lost his job,<br />
and lost his house and meeting him I<br />
said s**t, things are tough. But he said<br />
money is the root of all evil, and the<br />
fact the family is okay is priceless.<br />
And Richie’s in the book, with<br />
Christchurch Helicopters. I spent a lot<br />
of time with him flying things back<br />
and forth for people. He worked so<br />
hard, I have a lot of respect for him<br />
and all the team there.<br />
So there are no broken buildings in<br />
this book, because it’s about people,<br />
it’s about us healing through other<br />
people’s stories.<br />
And you’ve been writing the book<br />
while managing your food truck and<br />
catering business?<br />
Yes, and I have a two-year-old and<br />
my husband works away from home,<br />
so there have been a lot of days I have<br />
been up until 2am writing and then<br />
catering the next day, functioning on<br />
three hours sleep. I’ve been working<br />
on the book since January almost<br />
every day. Today, I got the final proof,<br />
and there were lots of tears.<br />
So tell me about your background?<br />
I’m originally from Timaru. I<br />
studied as a counsellor and worked<br />
for a while with New Zealand Police<br />
in victim support and with women’s<br />
refuges.<br />
After the Canterbury earthquakes,<br />
I worked with a lot of people and with<br />
children traumatised by it. And I saw<br />
that through my own individual experience,<br />
because my family lost three<br />
homes and lost jobs and had to relocate.<br />
We went through it ourselves,<br />
too. That’s actually how we built Miss<br />
Lilly’s, with recycled stuff from our<br />
own home. So when Kaikoura was<br />
hit, I felt it was my time to pay it<br />
forward after all the good will we had<br />
received.<br />

Thursday <strong>September</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 25<br />
after earthquake<br />
So you experienced people’s kindness<br />
yourself after the earthquakes?<br />
Oh yes, so much. I’ve had people walk<br />
up the drive with baking, complete strangers.<br />
Something that stood out is a little<br />
boy who was only eight, who had saved<br />
up his pocket money to buy shampoo and<br />
conditioner and some lollies. He told me<br />
this needs to go to someone who needs it<br />
in Kaikoura. We forget what humanity<br />
means, that care for others. And now, I<br />
get so many messages and cards from<br />
complete strangers, saying how grateful<br />
they were.<br />
How big a role do you think your<br />
background as a counsellor played in the<br />
work you’re doing now to help people?<br />
Nothing. That sounds terrible. <strong>The</strong> work<br />
as a counsellor was great, but it was in<br />
a system that wasn’t right. It was about<br />
ticking boxes. So it showed me how we<br />
can do things differently, because it was<br />
very much an ambulance at the bottom of<br />
the cliff approach. I think that work made<br />
me an element of the person I am today. I<br />
learned a lot about myself and about people,<br />
but I don’t think I would go back.<br />
So how many people are you expecting<br />
at the red zone potluck?<br />
<strong>The</strong> girls are predicting anywhere from<br />
4000, so we’re encouraging people to bring<br />
their own chairs. I just come up with the<br />
idea and the girls here make it happen.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y want to kill me because the logistics<br />
are quite difficult. We’re still a young trust<br />

Big plans for Leeston’s new hotel<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
AFTER SIX long years<br />
without a pub, the Leeston<br />
community turned out to<br />
open the new Crate and<br />
Barrel last week – and the<br />
doors have barely stopped<br />
swinging since.<br />
Publican Craig Bradford<br />
said business had been<br />
“flat out” all weekend after<br />
the grand opening on Thursday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grand opening began<br />
with a parade through the<br />
town, featuring a horse and<br />
cart, a steam engine and<br />
vintage vehicles.<br />
About 250 people then<br />
filled the outdoor deck<br />
to see the pub opened by<br />
Canterbury rugby legends<br />
Fergie McCormick and Alby<br />
Anderson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> town has been without<br />
a pub since the earthquakedamaged<br />
Leeston Hotel was<br />
demolished in 2011.<br />
Mr Bradford said the planning<br />
and consenting process<br />
for the new building had<br />
taken years.<br />
“I’d just like to say sorry<br />
for the wait. But now it’s<br />
WAIT OVER: Craig and Bridget Bradford celebrate the opening of the Crate & Barrel.<br />
open, come and have a cold<br />
one. <strong>The</strong> poor buggers out<br />
here have waited far too<br />
long,” he said.<br />
He said it was designed<br />
to be more than a pub, and<br />
to function as a community<br />
centre for the town.<br />
It is split into four sections,<br />
each with its own theme<br />
– the bar area, which is all<br />
about Leeston; the lakethemed<br />
restaurant; a sports<br />
area; and the music section,<br />
featuring a full drum kit<br />
mounted on the wall in the<br />
stairwell.<br />
Mr Bradford said he had<br />
big plans for coming events<br />
at the pub, but they were still<br />
under wraps.<br />
“Now it’s open I can sit<br />
back and start planning,” he<br />
said.<br />
THEME: Each of the sections of the new<br />
bar and restaurant are designed around a<br />
different theme, including music, motorcycles<br />
and game hunting.<br />

Rock classics sure to be on Barnes’ set list<br />
BIG NAME: Rock and roll legend Jimmy Barnes says he’s<br />
looking forward to headlining the next Selwyn Sounds. <br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
JIMMY BARNES hasn’t decided<br />
what songs he will play at March’s<br />
Selwyn Sounds.<br />
He will choose on the day when<br />
he sees the crowd.<br />
“I get to a set and I have a look<br />
at the audience – what are they<br />
doing, are they having a good<br />
time? And I’ll pick the set accordingly,”<br />
he said.<br />
One thing’s for sure – he plans<br />
to “rock out” and give the crowd a<br />
good show.<br />
<strong>The</strong> legendary Aussie rocker<br />
will headline the day-long music<br />
festival at Lincoln Domain on<br />
March 3 alongside <strong>The</strong> Feelers,<br />
Mental as Anything, <strong>The</strong> Mockers,<br />
Stellar, <strong>The</strong> Narcs, <strong>The</strong> Ladykillers<br />
and <strong>The</strong> Warratahs.<br />
It follows this year’s inaugural<br />
event, which saw Jordan Luck<br />
Band, Mi-Sex, Dragon and other<br />
Kiwi heavyweights play in front of<br />
about 10,000 people.<br />
Barnes, who now lives in the<br />
Southern Highlands, New South<br />
Wales, said he couldn’t be sure if<br />
he had visited Lincoln before.<br />
But he enjoyed playing in small<br />
towns. It took him back to where<br />
he started as lead singer in Cold<br />
Chisel, he said.<br />
“I’m looking forward to it, it’s a<br />
beautiful part of the country,” he<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
“I like to support the area, especially<br />
after the earthquakes.”<br />
Barnes said he enjoyed visiting<br />
New Zealand and the “nob******t”<br />
people.<br />
“If I get the chance, I’ll buy a<br />
place.”<br />
When his music career began<br />
in the 1970s, he never imagined<br />
some of the songs would still be<br />
crowd favourites today, he said.<br />
Khe Sanh, which was recorded<br />
in 1976, was an example, he said.<br />
“When you get up and play<br />
it, you can see young and old<br />
and they’re all there singing it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> song is as relevant now as it<br />
was then. How it connects with<br />
people, it makes it all worth it.”<br />
And in spite of being one of<br />
the best selling Australian music<br />
rockers of all time, Barnes said he<br />
enjoyed a variety of genres.<br />
He was a big fan of Ray Charles,<br />
Stevie Wonder, Paul Rodgers, Stevie<br />
Marriott, Bruce Springsteen,<br />
Neil Finn and even Sia.<br />
“I had to sing Chandelier and I<br />
realised how well written the song<br />
is. I’m a big fan of hers.”<br />
Barnes, who changed his last<br />
name from Swan after his stepfather<br />
Reg Barnes, was born in<br />
Glasgow and emigrated to Adelaide<br />
as a five-year-old.<br />
Last year, he released his autobiography<br />
Working Class Boy,<br />
which told the tale of his childhood,<br />
growing up with violence<br />
and abuse, up until joining Cold<br />
Chisel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next instalment, Working<br />
Class Man, will be released next<br />
month.<br />
Although he hasn’t decided<br />
exactly what songs he would play<br />
in Lincoln, he reckons classics<br />
such as Working Class Man, Khe<br />
Sanh and Flame Trees will be in<br />
the mix.<br />
“I know I want to play rock ’n’<br />
roll, so probably a cross section of<br />
myself and Cold Chisel.”<br />
And it will be a real family affair.<br />
His kids, Jackie, Elly-May and<br />
EJ, and wife Jane will perform<br />
alongside him at Selwyn Sounds,<br />
with son-in-law Ben Rodgers,<br />
Danny Spencer, Lachlan Doley<br />
and Michael Hegarty.<br />
Barnes said he wasn’t sure<br />
whether he would be staying in<br />
Lincoln or for how long, but if so,<br />
he would likely be out and about<br />
looking for a nice place to eat.<br />
So would he make an impromptu<br />
performance?<br />
“You never know.”<br />

ADVICE with<br />
Daffodils normally naturalise in a garden requiring<br />
little or no attention. However, when there is erratic<br />
fl owering (given they are growing in similar soil and light), remedial work<br />
on the bulb is required. Once the foliage has died down on your daffodil<br />
bulbs, dig up the non-performing bulbs (fi rstly marking them with stakes<br />
during the fl owering season) and check them. It’s possible that the bulbs<br />
are diseased, have been attacked by some underground insect or they<br />
may simply need dividing if they have been in the ground for many years.<br />

Control fungal leaf curl in peach trees<br />
• By Sarah Frater<br />
LEAF CURL (Taphrina<br />
deformans) is a common fungal<br />
disease that effects peach,<br />
nectarine, peachcott, and<br />
peacherine trees.<br />
It causes the leaves (and some<br />
times the fruit) of the infected tree<br />
to become puckered, curled and<br />
much thicker than normal. If left<br />
untreated the problem will get<br />
worse year-after-year and reduce<br />
the tree’s ability to produce lots of<br />
fruit.<br />
Over winter the fungal spores<br />
take up residence in different<br />
parts of the tree, but mainly in the<br />
buds. When the cool wet weather<br />
of spring and summer arrives<br />
many leaf curl spores are produced<br />
and are then splashed or<br />
blown from tree to tree. Because<br />
this is also the time the trees are<br />
breaking bud and forming new<br />
leaves, the new growth is easily<br />
reinfected with leaf curl.<br />
Controlling leaf curl isn’t easy<br />
but good orchard hygiene habits,<br />
which should be repeated each<br />
year, will give you the best chance.<br />
Plant your trees where they will<br />
get adequate air movement – this<br />
will help minimise problems.<br />
In spring apply a light dressing<br />
of a quick acting fertiliser such as<br />
sulphate of ammonia to encourage<br />
new leaf growth. At the same<br />
time, I also recommend applying<br />
a seaweed fertiliser to help the<br />
plants’ immunity to leaf curl.<br />
In autumn and early winter clean<br />
up around the base of any peach<br />
and nectarine trees and removing<br />
as many leaves as possible. Because<br />
these types of trees are susceptible<br />
to leaf curl, I suggest doing this regardless<br />
of whether they’ve shown<br />
any signs of disease. Don’t compost<br />
the leaves.<br />
A copper-based fungicide will<br />
help stop leaf curl on peach and<br />
nectarine trees but it will also treat<br />
fungal problems on other trees.<br />
NATURE’S<br />
BOUNTY: If<br />
left untreated<br />
leaf curl will<br />
get worse<br />
year-after-year<br />
and reduce a<br />
tree’s ability to<br />
produce fruit.<br />

DIVA FEVER has struck town.<br />
And what is there not to worship<br />
about disco-dancing nuns<br />
crossed with soulful toe-tapping<br />
beats bound to take you to cloud<br />
nine?<br />
Go-go boots, disco balls and<br />
shimmering lights are in the<br />
house, as Showbiz Christchurch<br />
stages its groovy new production<br />
of Sister Act.<br />
This show is a visual spectacle,<br />
and when those nuns get down<br />
to boogie in their sparkling getups<br />
under gleaming stages lights,<br />
it will leave you dazed – seriously,<br />
this show is bright.<br />
But there is a heart-warming<br />
substance behind all those sparkles<br />
which stars a vocally powerful<br />
cast led by the bold Monique<br />
Clementson.<br />
As many will know already,<br />
the story is sets around a hopeful<br />
diva who finds herself in<br />
a convent as part of a witness<br />
protection programme after she<br />
accidentally see’s her dangerous<br />

Yet this tale will have you<br />
beaming from ear-to-ear as oneline<br />

tone-deaf choir of nuns into a<br />
heavenly-sounding ensemble.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nuns made the show, especially<br />
in large ensemble numbers<br />
Take Me to Heaven and Raise<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact their dancing was ever<br />
so slightly out of sync at times<br />
was actually what made them<br />
compelling to watch. To me it<br />
emphasised real people learning<br />

especially the dynamic performance<br />
of When I Find My Baby,<br />
featuring gangsters and edgy<br />
dancers, Ella Wilson and Jenna<br />
Morris-Williamson, as hookers.<br />
Clementson did a marvellous<br />
job of the Philadelphia accent,<br />
which was no easy feat.<br />
While it sounded as though<br />
the microphones needed to be<br />
turned up slightly in the opening<br />
number, Clementson is a strong<br />
performer and her charismatic<br />
stage presence made it easy to see<br />
why she was chosen for the sassy<br />
role of Deloris.<br />
You cannot forget the slickmoving<br />
sets, which add to the<br />
visual finesse of the show.<br />
Glitzy night clubs transforming<br />
into beautiful neo-Gothicstyle<br />
churches portray the theme<br />
of the show beautifully and<br />
deserved to be applauded.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is nothing like watching<br />
an unlikely friendship between<br />
a diva and a group of nuns<br />
blossom, and it was beautiful to<br />
watch the nuns put their lives<br />
on the line to save Deloris from<br />
murder.<br />
But humour and happy tunes<br />
are the bread and butter of this<br />
upbeat show and will have audiences<br />
bopping all the way home.<br />

lamb, approx. 150-200g per<br />
person<br />
3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped<br />
3 Tbsp Chopped rosemary<br />
2 Tbsp Olive oil<br />
1 cup White wine<br />
Directions<br />
ICEBERG LETTUCE,<br />
WALNUT AND BLUE<br />
CHEESE SALAD<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 Iceberg lettuce<br />
1 Walnuts, toasted<br />
1 Blue cheese<br />
1 Walnut oil<br />
1 Cider vinegar<br />
Directions<br />
Remove the outer leaves of a<br />
small iceberg lettuce. Cut the<br />
head into four wedges.<br />
Toast some walnuts.<br />
Crumble some good blue<br />
cheese and, using the white bits<br />
from the outer edges.<br />
Make a creamy dressing by<br />
blending them with walnut oil<br />
and a little cider vinegar (olive<br />
oil is fine if you don’t have<br />
walnut).<br />
Sprinkle the walnuts and the<br />
blue cheese crumbs over the<br />
crisp lettuce wedges and spoon<br />
over the dressing.<br />
Preheat oven to 220 deg C.<br />
In a roasting tray, lay out the<br />
parsley and mint, then add the<br />
sliced onions.<br />
Place the butterflied lamb leg<br />
on top of the onions, fat side up<br />
(there should be a thin layer of<br />
fat on one side).<br />
Score the lamb on the side<br />
with the fat in large diagonal<br />
shapes.<br />
Sprinkle over a large pinch of<br />
sea salt, and crack over plenty of<br />
black pepper.<br />
Rub the garlic into the slits<br />
where you’ve scored it, then<br />
sprinkle over the rosemary and<br />
rub that in too. Drizzle over the<br />
olive oil and rub into the skin.<br />
Place the lamb on a high rack<br />
in the oven and grill for 20-<br />
25min (depending on its size)<br />
until the skin crisps and goes<br />
golden.<br />
Remove from oven and add<br />
wine to the tray.<br />
Return the lamb to the oven,<br />
but move it down from the top<br />
shelf to the centre of the oven.<br />
Roast for a further 20min.<br />
Remove from oven, rest for<br />
5-10min, then slice into thick<br />
strips. Serve on a plate of fresh<br />
parsley and sprinkle with<br />
pomegranate seeds. Use the pan<br />
juices and onion to make a gravy<br />

Many activities at Auckland’s Sky Tower<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
IT IS Auckland’s exclamation<br />
point, the city’s transcendent<br />
landmark.<br />
Isn’t it scary how fast 20 years<br />
has zipped by since Auckland’s<br />
skyline was first redefined by the<br />
construction of the beloved Sky<br />
Tower.<br />
I was living in Auckland at<br />
the time, hosting Newstalk ZB’s<br />
Overnight Show, and the rise of<br />
the tower struck me as the city’s<br />
coming of age.<br />
I recently enjoyed an Auckland<br />
weekender to celebrate the<br />
milestone anniversary. Picking<br />
up a Thrifty rental car from the<br />
airport, I purred into the city in<br />
surprisingly short time, thanks<br />
to the recent opening of another<br />
engineering triumph – the Waterview<br />
Tunnel.<br />
Costing an eye-watering $1.4<br />
billion, the largesse is mindblowing,<br />
but it sure short-circuits<br />
travel time in and out of the city<br />
centre.<br />
Twenty years on, the Sky Tower<br />
is still a record-breaking tall boy,<br />
maintaining its stature as New<br />
Zealand’s tallest man-made structure<br />
and the tallest free-standing<br />
structure in the Southern Hemisphere.<br />
BRAVE: Mike Yardley (right) with guide Daniel on the SkyWalk<br />
which circumnavigates the Sky Tower.<br />
Since 1997, it has entertained<br />
nearly 15 million guests, whether<br />
it’s to wine and dine, to indulge<br />
in the gut-shuddering adrenalin<br />
pursuits or simply to lap up the<br />
lofty panorama. On a clear day,<br />
the 360 deg views reach out for<br />
over 80km, to Great Barrier<br />
Island, the Waitakere Ranges and<br />
the Bombay Hills.<br />
ARTILLERY: <strong>The</strong> view from North Head one of the oldest of<br />
Auckland’s 50 volcanic cones.<br />
In addition to the tower, I took<br />
the opportunity to sample some<br />
of SkyCity’s alluring culinary<br />
offerings. For dinner, I headed<br />
to the rustic and Italian-inspired<br />
masterpiece of Gusto at the<br />
Grand.<br />
Showcasing good honest food,<br />
classic flavours and fresh seasonal<br />
ingredients, the menu is curated<br />
by celebrated chef Sean Connolly,<br />
and the dishes are designed to be<br />
shared.<br />
My recommended share plate<br />
dishes include Clevedon buffalo<br />
mozzarella, heirloom tomato and<br />
basil; Cloudy Bay clams, spaghetti,<br />
garlic chill and parmesan;<br />
or how about Sardinian ravioli,<br />
potato, mint and pecorini sage<br />
butter?<br />
<strong>The</strong> sharing and pairing and<br />
noshing continued the following<br />
day over lunch, high up on the<br />
53rd level of the Sky Tower at the<br />
decadent roost, <strong>The</strong> Sugar Club.<br />
This is the fourth incarnation of<br />
Peter Gordon’s restaurant and<br />
the décor evokes 1930s Art Deco<br />
Italy with brass fittings, sublime<br />
tableware and stone table tops.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fusion Cuisine menu is<br />
centred around small seasonal<br />
plates brimming with flavour,<br />
with the finest produce sourced<br />
from New Zealand, mixed up<br />
with exotic flavours.<br />

After a tasty breakfast at Andy’s<br />
Burgers and Bar and feeling suitably<br />
fortified, it was time to follow<br />
in the footsteps of Justin Bieber,<br />
Tom Cruise, Michael Buble and<br />
Beyonce and ascend the tower for<br />
some elevated adventure.<br />
<strong>The</strong> SkyJump and SkyWalk are<br />
both operated by A J Hackett and<br />
because I’m not really a fan of<br />
bungy jumping, I opted for the<br />
SkyWalk.<br />
This soft adventure stroll<br />
around the Sky Tower pergola,<br />
192m above ground, sounded like<br />
a very relaxing notion. But what I<br />
didn’t envisage is that the pergola<br />
doesn’t have any hand railings.<br />
So once outside, standing on<br />
the circular platform wrapped<br />
around the strutting <strong>The</strong> Sugar<br />
Club, I felt suddenly and queasily<br />
exposed with nothing but air<br />
on either side. In spite of being<br />
harnessed to an overhead safety<br />
line, I still felt hideously uncomfortable.<br />
SPECTACULAR: For 20 years the Sky Tower has dominated the<br />
Auckland skyline.<br />
Summoning the fortitude<br />
to stay on-task, my fellow<br />
Skywalkers and I were led<br />
on an exhilarating walk<br />
around the Auckland skyline,<br />
circumnavigating the walkway,<br />
while our fabulous guide<br />
snapped photos and video as we<br />
performed sky-high ledge-leaning<br />
exploits, along the way.<br />
It’s an enthralling, heartpumping<br />
and utterly<br />
unforgettable experience. <strong>The</strong><br />
endorphin rush left me feeling<br />
tingly for the rest of the day. www.<br />
skywalk.co.nz<br />
Beyond the CBD, I jumped<br />
in the rental car and headed<br />
over the Harbour Bridge to<br />
the well-heeled, genteel streets<br />
of Devonport. <strong>The</strong> delightful<br />
suburb’s esplanades and parades,<br />
HUNGER BUSTER: Try dining<br />
at <strong>The</strong> Sugar Club or Gusto at<br />
the Grand (right).<br />
fringed with Victorian homes<br />
and cottages, serve up sizzling<br />
perspectives on the city skyline<br />
and across the Hauraki Gulf.<br />
We then headed up North<br />
Head, one of the oldest of<br />
Auckland’s 50 volcanic cones,<br />
formed over 50,000 years ago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cinematic harbourside<br />
views competed for my attention<br />
alongside the historic vestiges of<br />
North Head’s fortifications.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sweeping collection of<br />
military installations date from<br />
the late 1800s through to World<br />
War 2 From the summit of North<br />
Head, I gazed over the golden<br />
sweep of Cheltenham Beach<br />
and the gigantic conical icon of<br />
Rangitoto. Auckland’s greatest<br />
natural letterhead.<br />

What makes a<br />
franchise work?<br />
Estelle Logan is the national franchisor helps to ensure franchisees are successful.<br />
for V.I.P. Home Services, together with On the other hand, some people think<br />
her husband, John. <strong>The</strong>y have been in the running a business will be a breeze, but<br />
franchise business for 22 years, selling in fact it requires lots of self-discipline<br />
over 500 franchises during that time. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
currently have around 130 franchisees<br />
nationwide.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir business operates at two levels. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
sell master franchises – a buyer purchases<br />
because there’s no one you are accountable<br />
to but yourself.”<br />
And what makes for a successful<br />
franchisee? “I call it the triple A’s” smiles<br />
Estelle, “attitude, aptitude and appearance.<br />
a territory into which they sell franchises Skills can be taught, but attitude can’t!<br />
– and they sell individual franchises for With the right attitude, the ordinary can<br />
their multi-service V.I.P. business in either<br />
Lawns & Gardens or Cleaning.<br />
“Understanding the complex relationship<br />
became spectacular success! By aptitude<br />
I mean a franchisee must have the ability<br />
to respond to any situation which arises,<br />
between the franchisor and franchisee is meet customers’ needs, be service oriented<br />
an essential ingredient,” explains Estelle. and most importantly be willing to follow<br />
“Sometimes it is difficult as the franchisor<br />
to maintain the balance between being “the<br />
boss” and “the friend” of your franchisees.<br />
someone else’s system. <strong>The</strong>y also need the<br />
right attitude, take pride in their personal<br />
appearance, keep their vehicle clean and<br />
Our experience has been that you need they must be well organised.<br />
to maintain a friendly but professional So if you feel you have these attributes<br />
relationship with your franchisees, giving and would like to own your own business,<br />
them support, understanding and empathy<br />
but maintaining the role of franchisor. “<br />
give Estelle a call on 021 489861 or email<br />
Estelle@viphomeservices.nz<br />
So what makes a successful franchisor?<br />
“Honesty, Integrity and Professionalism<br />
with an open door policy for<br />
communication” responds Estelle promptly.<br />
“No matter who you are dealing with from<br />
the franchisees, suppliers or customers the<br />
credibility of your brand depends on it”<br />
Some people think that owning your own<br />
business is great and you can have time<br />
off when you want. However Estelle says<br />
that franchisee selection if one of her most<br />
important roles as a franchisor. Selecting<br />
the right franchisee for the right reason can<br />
be a challenge. To protect against wrong<br />
selection, VIP has a process and system<br />
they use for evaluating and selecting<br />
franchisees. “This takes away the guess<br />
work and emotions from the equation and<br />
Not all franchises<br />
are created equal<br />
are you looking for a change?<br />
When you’re buying a franchise, seeking expert advice from the<br />
outset is vital.<br />
Every franchise system is different. Before buying your franchise<br />
business you need to understand what your obligations and rights are<br />
and whether the business is right for you.<br />
Our franchising team comprising commercial partners Mark Sherry<br />

Popular Corolla<br />
builds on success<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
FOR DECADES Toyota’s<br />
Corolla was New Zealand’s<br />
top selling motor vehicle<br />
and with millions sold<br />
worldwide I couldn’t<br />
visualise that scenario ever<br />
changing.<br />
Well as time has served<br />
to prove, new car buyers in<br />
New Zealand aren’t leaning<br />
toward the traditional<br />
sedan/hatchback concept,<br />
they would rather have<br />
utes.<br />
You would have thought<br />
that if a ute was going to be<br />
New Zealand’s top selling<br />
vehicle then Toyota’s Hilux<br />
would have taken the leading<br />
role, well it hasn’t, Ford<br />
has stolen the show for<br />
the last few years with its<br />
Ranger.<br />
All that aside, Toyota<br />
are still in the hunt with<br />
Corolla, it is still the most<br />
popular car here and it has<br />
just had a fairly substantial<br />
refresh. New for <strong>2017</strong> going<br />
into 2018, the Corolla gets<br />
more safety and style.<br />
Notably, it has had a<br />
fairly substantial facelift<br />
with new grille, headlights<br />
and bumper, and there<br />
are LED daytime running<br />
lights on the range-topping<br />
ZR. <strong>The</strong>re’s also a cosmetic<br />
refresh inside, the<br />
display graphics have been<br />
enlarged and improved<br />
for clarity, while minor<br />
trim elements have been<br />
upgraded.<br />
For safety, the new<br />
Corolla gets the benefit of<br />
a pre-crash safety system,<br />
lane departure alert and<br />
automatic high beam activation.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se features are<br />
on top of an already extensive<br />
safety package.<br />
This evaluation focuses<br />
on the ZR which sits at<br />
$44,690; the entry-level<br />
sedan comes in at $35,990,<br />
while a mid-spec GLX sits<br />
at $38,990.<br />
All Corolla sedans have<br />
continuously variable automatic<br />
transmission and it<br />
is mated to the venerable<br />
1.8-litre naturally aspirated<br />
engine that has served the<br />
model so well. Both have<br />
had tweaks here and there<br />
to improve efficiency and<br />
performance, the new<br />
Corolla also gets a sport<br />
mode which encourages<br />
busier engine behaviour<br />
and livelier transmission.<br />
That aside, there are few<br />
surprises with Corolla, it is<br />
the honest, capable familyfriendly<br />
sedan and hatchback<br />
that has carved out an<br />
enviable global reputation.<br />
It doesn’t do anything spectacular,<br />
but it is intuitive to<br />
TOYOTA COROLLA ZR: Desirable and user-friendly.<br />
drive and simplistic to be<br />
behind the wheel of. It will<br />
suit many varying buyer<br />
types, and the changes have<br />
made it even more userfriendly<br />
and desirable.<br />
Under the bonnet sits<br />
the 1798cc engine, it is a<br />
twin-camshaft type with<br />
16-valves, it is rated by<br />
Toyota at 103kW and<br />
173Nm.<br />
Toyota also claim a 6.4-<br />

• Fuel usage<br />
–6.4l/100km<br />
litre per 100km/h (44mpg)<br />
combined cycle average for<br />
the engine which sits well<br />
with the evaluation car’s<br />
trip computer at 8l/100km<br />
(35mpg) over five days.<br />
<strong>The</strong> readout also lists a<br />
6l/100km (47mpg) instantaneous<br />
figure at 100km/h,<br />
the engine turning over<br />
very relaxed at 1800rpm.<br />
On the subject of figures,<br />
the Corolla also has<br />
a healthy turn of speed. It<br />
will accelerate to 100km/h<br />
in 9sec and will complete a<br />
highway overtake (80km/h<br />
to 120km/h) in 6sec.<br />
All of these add up to a<br />
satisfying performance feel,<br />
along with the knowledge<br />
that a tank full of petrol<br />
isn’t going to break the<br />
family budget.<br />
With Toyota’s experience<br />
with the Corolla in this<br />
country you can guarantee<br />
it has been set up to compete<br />
well with local conditions<br />
giving the driver considerable<br />
pleasure during<br />
each and every drive and,<br />
of course, all occupants.<br />
<strong>The</strong> engine is lively<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
and works freely through<br />
the transmission, the<br />
seven-step CVT extracts<br />
well the engine torque<br />
characteristics and the<br />
peaky nature of twincamshaft<br />
engines. <strong>The</strong><br />
slow operating manner at<br />
which the engine operates<br />
at highway speed is an<br />
indication that economy<br />
has been an engineering<br />
priority and that shows in<br />
fuel usage figures.<br />
In terms of handling,<br />
the Corolla is well firmed<br />
through the suspension,<br />
Toyota has made changes<br />
to the damper rates that<br />
have made the suspension<br />
more robust. <strong>The</strong> result is a<br />
strong sense of stability as<br />
the body moves just ever so<br />
gently over the suspension.<br />
I took the test car on<br />
a challenging route with<br />
many corners and many<br />
varying corner types. It’s<br />
hard to catch the Corolla<br />
uncomposed, the quietriding<br />
Yokohama tyres<br />
(205/55 x 16in) have solid<br />
grip and present the driver<br />
with strong feedback as to<br />
how they are reacting to<br />
the road surface. <strong>The</strong> whole<br />
car feels balanced and stable<br />
through the chassis.<br />
Comfort for all on board<br />
has also been a manufacturing<br />
priority. <strong>The</strong> Corolla<br />
sits as a useful five-seater<br />
and all passengers have<br />
plenty of space to spread<br />
out and relax. My only<br />
complaint with the ZR-spec<br />
sedan is that while it<br />
caters for those who prefer<br />
leather trim, there aren’t<br />
any seat heaters, on a cold<br />
Christchurch morning they<br />
aren’t at all inviting.<br />
However, it was good<br />
to be reacquainted with<br />
Corolla, it’s a case of a good<br />
car made better through<br />
upgrades.<br />
You can guarantee Toyota<br />
is working feverishly on<br />
the next generation model,<br />
and I’m so looking forward<br />
to when it arrives.<br />
In the interim, the current<br />
model is still spectacular<br />
in its own way, its success<br />
through the generations<br />
speaks for itself.

new zealand junior rugby feStival<br />
<strong>September</strong> 22 - 24, <strong>2017</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>2017</strong> season has been very<br />
successful for the St Thomas U13<br />
squad. <strong>The</strong> boys are a very motivated<br />
group who started with extra fitness<br />
training in November last year, working<br />
towards getting their bodies in the right<br />
shape for the rugby season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> boys have trained hard all year<br />
never missing a session whether that<br />
be outdoor team trainings or indoor<br />
cross fit sessions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> success they have earned this<br />
year includes an undefeated season<br />
retaining the U13 challenge shield for<br />
13 weeks thus earning the right to<br />
have their named engraved on the<br />
shield. <strong>The</strong>y then went on to win the<br />
Under 13 (Division 1) final to earn the<br />
title of champions of the U13 grade.<br />
We have recently had 7 boys gain<br />
selection into the Canterbury Metro<br />
U13 team, 2 in the Primary Schools<br />
Metro U65Kg and 2 in the Ellesmere<br />
Representative side. <strong>The</strong> team now<br />
focus on a North Island tour, which<br />
includes two games in Auckland<br />
against Rosmini and St Peters and<br />
the New Zealand Junior rugby festival<br />
tournament in Taupo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> boys are very fortunate to have<br />
a very hard working and supportive<br />
group of parents and supporters that<br />
have enabled them to fundraise for this<br />
trip of a lifetime and they would like to<br />
thank all of the businesses that have<br />
sponsored them in this feature.<br />

Pride captain in US for<br />
100th international cap<br />
CANTERBURY UNITED Pride<br />
captain Annalie Longo is set to<br />
become the seventh Football Fern<br />
to rack up 100 caps this weekend.<br />
Longo is likely to become the<br />
latest centurion on a two-match<br />
tour of the United States and,<br />
while careful not to take her<br />
place in the starting line-up for<br />
granted, she’s looking forward to<br />
the moment.<br />
“It’s been a long journey with<br />
some amazing girls and it will be<br />
exciting. Hopefully I can get on<br />
the pitch and we can do the job<br />
against the US,” said Longo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> US – No 1 on the rankings<br />
and reigning FIFA Women’s<br />
World Cup champions – possess<br />
a squad packed full of experience<br />
and world-class talent.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 19th-ranked Ferns will<br />
have the odds stacked against<br />
them in Denver and Cincinnati,<br />
but Longo is relishing the challenge.<br />
“It will be good to see where we<br />
stand and there’s no better opposition<br />
than the US,” said Longo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 26-year-old works as a<br />
women’s development officer at<br />
Mainland Football and is enjoying<br />
spreading the gospel of the<br />
female game. “It’s nice to be able<br />
to give back to football and try to<br />
MILESTONE: Canterbury<br />
United’s Annalie Longo is one<br />
game away from a century<br />
with the Football Ferns.<br />
inspire other females to play,” said<br />
Longo.<br />
“It’s a little bit different putting<br />
my coaching hat on when I’m out<br />
in the community, but it’s exciting<br />
times.<br />
“We’re just heading into the national<br />
league campaign with the<br />
Canterbury United Pride so I’m<br />
really looking forward to that.”<br />
High school stars make NZ camp<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FIVE Christchurch players<br />
have been selected for the<br />
New Zealand Schools rugby<br />
development camp later this<br />
month.<br />
Patrick Thacker, prop (Christ’s<br />
College), Shilo Klein, hooker<br />
(St Andrew’s College), Louie<br />
Chapman, halfback (Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School), Isaiah<br />
Punivai, centre (Christ’s) and<br />
Rico Syme, fullback (CBHS), are<br />
among 49 of the best secondary<br />
school players selected for the<br />
three-day camp.<br />
Impressively, three of the players<br />
selected from Christchurch<br />
are year 12 students.<br />
Thacker, Punivai and Chapman<br />
all have one more year of<br />
secondary school left, giving<br />
them the rare opportunity to be<br />
selected for the New Zealand<br />
Schools team twice. A New<br />
DARSHA KEOGAN’S football<br />
coach would not take no for an<br />
answer.<br />

team will also be named after<br />

Of note is the continued rise<br />
of CBHS fullback Syme, who<br />
only made his first XV debut in<br />
June. Syme, 17, who had previously<br />
concentrated on cricket,<br />
started the year with the seventh<br />
sought special dispensation to<br />
play in the boys’ team. Coach<br />
Carly Lawton had to write to<br />
officials, lobby football organisations<br />
and encourage clubs to<br />
write endorsements for Keogan.<br />

IT’S THE buy of the year against<br />
the game’s best forward.<br />
Parramatta’s Nathan Brown<br />
and North Queensland’s James<br />
Taumalolo will go head-to-head,<br />
each in their inimitable styles,<br />
in one of the most anticipated<br />
individual clashes in Saturday<br />
night’s semi-final at Allianz<br />
Stadium, <strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning<br />
Herald reported.<br />
When the team last played, a<br />
Johnathan Thurston masterclass<br />
proved the difference as the<br />
Cowboys notched an emphatic<br />
win in Darwin. With Thurston<br />
sidelined, another ‘JT’ – Kiwis<br />
star Taumalolo – is likely to<br />
prove the biggest stumbling<br />
block in progressing to a grandfinal<br />
qualifier.<br />
Taumalolo was a standout<br />
in North Queensland’s<br />
upset win over Cronulla last<br />
weekend, making 37 tackles<br />
and 259m from 22 hit-ups.<br />
His barnstorming try kept<br />
his side’s title hopes alive and<br />
ended those of the defending<br />
premiers. Brown’s star is also on<br />
the rise. Arriving at Parramatta<br />
on a modest deal after South<br />
Sydney deemed him unworthy<br />
of a contract extension, Brown<br />
has been a revelation this<br />
year. He has been averaging<br />
almost 34 tackles and 134m a<br />
game, earning himself the Ken<br />
Thornett Medal as Parramatta’s<br />
best and fairest.<br />
Brown said he was relishing<br />
the opportunity to test himself<br />
against the game’s best in an<br />
intriguing clash of the No 13s.<br />
“That’s what you want as a<br />
forward, you want to be playing<br />
against the best in the game,”<br />
Brown said.<br />
“I’m really looking forward to<br />
the challenge. (Taumalolo’s) the<br />
best forward in the game. He’s a<br />
quality player and we’ve got to be<br />
on our game against him.<br />
“He’s a bit different to the way<br />
I play but he inspires everyone<br />
in the game. We’ve got to be<br />

Taumalolo v Brown highlight in mouth-watering semi<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
on our game with him but we<br />
can’t put all of our focus on him.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have got some other good<br />
forwards and they make his job a<br />
lot easier,” Brown said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Eels forward pack is one of<br />
the most underrated in the game,<br />
but proved in last week’s narrow<br />
loss to Melbourne that it can<br />
match it with any pack.<br />
Parramatta prop Siosaia Vave<br />
is expected to have his hands full<br />
with Taumalolo in the middle of<br />
the field.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pros and cons of<br />
building sites<br />
When selecting a building site weigh up your<br />
lifestyle, family needs and aspirations before signing<br />
up for any section.<br />
Those purchasing early on in the<br />
development of a subdivision will<br />
have more choice of section size and<br />
orientation to the street and sun. As<br />
the individual sites are sold, there may<br />
be less availability though this need<br />
not be a deterrent. With good design<br />
any building site can be made to work.<br />
Selwyn has experienced considerable<br />
growth in recent years. Sub-divisions<br />
have opened up and been built on,<br />
with new developments regularly<br />
coming on stream. Within these,<br />
section sizes vary from around 400<br />
square metres upwards to 5,000<br />
square metres. Lifestyle blocks are also<br />
scattered around the district.<br />
<strong>The</strong> size of the house and amount<br />
of yard desired will influence the<br />
feasibility of some building sites as<br />
will sun and wind direction, bearing<br />
in mind that a house can be designed<br />
to capture the sun’s free heat and allow<br />
for pleasant outdoor areas to enjoy.<br />
If the street side of the building site<br />
is north/north west, incorporating<br />
fenced or planted courtyards can offer<br />
private places to entertain and bask in<br />
the sun.<br />
Those wanting street presence<br />
or keen on gardening may prefer a<br />
corner section and while it might seem<br />
they offer less privacy, with strategic<br />
placement of fences quite the opposite<br />
can be the case.<br />
Weigh up your family’s needs in<br />
terms of the outdoor areas too. Do you<br />
want play areas for your children? Do<br />

you have a need for off-street parking<br />
for a number of vehicles and space for<br />
a boat, caravan or motorhome, which<br />
may need to be parked out of site of<br />
the street? How much lawn or garden<br />
do you want?<br />
<strong>Star</strong>t by identifying housing<br />
developments that you like and could<br />
see your family living in. Think also<br />
about the convenience of shops and<br />
other amenities, something that may<br />
or may not be a concern.<br />
Single out possible sections then<br />
talk with a designer or builder. Most<br />
building companies have a good<br />
selection of standard plans as a starting<br />
point and they will usually work with<br />
a client to modify a plan or draw up<br />
one that will work on a particular<br />
building site, whilst also containing<br />
the components the client is seeking<br />
within their new home.<br />
Before signing up for any building<br />
site, check the Council land zoning<br />
and recession plane requirements as<br />
well as covenants for the sub-division.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se will show not only how far from<br />
a boundary the house can be sited but<br />
also roof height, permissible building<br />
materials, and acceptable types of<br />
fencing, as well as what can be on<br />
view from the street like a clothes line,<br />
caravan or motorhome. Conducting<br />
your research first will save any<br />
frustration or hassles later.<br />
All sections are workable, it is simply<br />
a matter of choosing one that matches<br />
your specific needs.<br />
