GEORGIA O’CONNOR-HARDING

Booming residential areas near Hei Hei could have a quarry near their backyards.

A proposal by Fulton Hogan to obtain more land to quarry on Roberts Rd has almost gone unnoticed by residents living nearby.

The city council has proposed to establish two new residen-tial neighbourhoods in its city plan – North Halswell and South Masham.

South Masham is proposed to be located north-west of Hei Hei, bordering Gilberthorpes

School, and has scope for Fulton Hogan to expand its quarrying on Roberts Rd, bringing it closer to existing homes.

Riccarton-Wigram Commu-nity Board deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton said Fulton Hogan could quarry as close as 60m from a residential area.

Back in 2014, Fulton Hogan got resource consents from Environment Canterbury and the city council to undertake quarrying of 19.5ha of the property at Roberts Rd.

Both the Yaldhurst Residents’ Association and the Gilberthorpe Estate Residents’ Association were unaware of the proposal.

Quarrying has been controversial in the area after

a joint proposal from the Canterbury Aggregates Group to dig up to 4m below the ground water line.

Yaldhurst Residents’ Associa-tion chairman Bob Cross said he will be amazed if the proposal got through.

“To push the unit that close is nothing short of nuts.”

He said while Fulton Hogan are “quality operators”, digging close to a residential boundary just doesn’t seem right.

Ms Broughton said the matter

was so serious the community board lodged a submission op-posing the proposal in January.

She said it had slipped through unnoticed because few knew about the proposed South Masham and North Halswell.

The hearing was in January with a decision pending.

Fulton Hogan declined to comment.

In its submission on the neighbourhood plan, it said that quarrying was a “temporary activity”.

“Upon its completion, a wide range of other activities can establish on a site,” it said.

Homeowners near a problematic sharp bend in Hei Hei are sick of drivers losing control, sending vehicles careening onto their properties.

Kaniere Ave residents want the city council to fix the prob-lem with speed bumps on the road.

But police say this will ex-cerbate the problem and send vehicles “airborne”.

Kathy McCann is one of those residents who had her property seriously damaged.

She wrote to the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board to plead for its help. As a result the community board has asked staff to look into solutions.

Ms McCann said she has had three incidents in the past year.

Most recently Ms McCann said a driver “ploughed”

through her property, demol-ished a weeping pear tree and ended up through the side of the garage.

Worse still, she wrote, the driver tried to leave the scene by driving through the Mc-Canns’ hedge on the drive to their garage.

As a consequence the driver hit Ms McCann’s car parked in the drive.

Ms McCann said there was a considerable amount of damage

done to their property, house, three vehicles and landscaping.

She said houses on either side of their’s have sustained damage after drivers lost control around the corner.

One wheel came off a car and hit the garage door while another youth wiped out a street light and tree.

She said it is only a matter of time before someone is seri-ously injured.

Ms McCann requested speed bumps to be placed near the bend to stop people driving at high speeds.

But Senior Sergeant Scott Richardson said speed bumps were problematic.

“If people hit them really fast they go airborne and that creates more danger and more noise.”

He said by making the road narrower people will slow down.

“Psychologically people slow down because they feel the road has got narrower.”

Environmental changes could include placing an pedestrian aisle at the corner or placing is-lands in the middle of the road, he said.

“The police would support it because it wouldn’t be really viable for us to do a lot of en-forcement on.”

Community board chairman Mike Mora agreed that install-ing speed bumps close to a bend could cause more problems.

He said all these issues need to be looked at by the profes-sional engineering staff.

MENTAL HEALTH PETITIONThe Canterbury District Health Board is being forced to make cuts to its mental health services as a result of a funding shortfall. A petition was started to increase funding for health services in Canterbury. It has since had 5515 supporters. To support the cause go to Facebook and type in Ministry of Health: Increase funding for mental health services in Canterbury-sign the petition.

ASBESTOS PETITIONA petition to extend ACC coverage to those who have been exposed to asbestos in their homes has been started online. Isobel Baxter started the petition on www.change.org just before Christmas. If you want to sign it the easiest way to reach it is through a Facebook page called Christchurch Asbestos Stories.

CAR CRASHES INTO POLEOne person was taken to Christchurch Hospital ED after the car collided with a pole at the intersection between Halswell Junction Rd and Country Palms Drive. St John was alerted to the incident at 2.18pm last Monday. The man aged in his 50s was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

School decile ratings are a contentious issue. Waltham School principal Gordon Caddie says they give the public an inaccurate way of assessing how ‘good’ a school might be.

A recent review of school deciles put the spotlight back on the whole system of assigning each school in New Zealand a number from 1-9 based on household ‘economic indicators’ from the latest cen-sus.

As some school deciles ‘went up’ they cried foul at thousands of dollars of lost funding, while other schools that ‘went down’, stayed understandably silent at their increased funding, coming as a result of their loss in social status.

It’s hard to criticise the inten-tion of the New Zealand Decile System. Giving extra resources to the schools that draw from poorer communities makes sense. After all it’s logical to assume these ‘lower decile’ com-

munities have less ability to raise local funds and higher numbers of students requiring more sup-port to reach such benchmarks as ‘national standards’.

As principal of a lower decile school I have seen first-hand how hard it can be to raise local funds and how quickly the extra ‘decile funding’ can be swallowed up on extra teacher aide hours, staffing to keep class numbers manage-able and even in some cases basic necessities such as food to feed hungry children.

There is however, a concern-ing, unintended result of the decile system. The public has grabbed on to these numbers from 1-9 as a very conveni-ent (yet very inaccurate) way of assessing how ‘good’ a

school might be. This, along-side a political climate that has encouraged parents to ‘shop around’ for the ‘best’ school, has meant families ‘that can’ are often driving across town to ‘higher decile’ schools. While the rich get richer the poor get poorer.

There is some good news though. If my recent experience in my own school is represent-ative of the bigger picture then attitudes may be changing.

When choosing a school less prospective parents are asking about ‘deciles’. Instead they are talking to their commu-nity, asking their pre-schools, and visiting and talking with principals and teachers to get a greater knowledge of their local schools. This enables schools that are successful and also work hard on building positive relationships to blos-som and truly reflect their local communities.

MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

Life has never been fair. So we shouldn’t have been surprised that last Sunday’s shake was right up there amongst the top 10 since 2010.

But I think most of us were, no pun intended, rather jolted by it. It’s been so long since those days and weeks of continual shaking that most of us have moved on and put the permanent ‘on edge’ feeling in a box and filed it. Well the box re-appeared on Sunday with the lid wide open.

More gratifying was the lack of widespread damage which

is probably best illustrated by the fact we responded to just 15 earthquake related calls on Sunday.

Sumner brigade went and checked out the most dramatic scenes as the cliffs fell down but had very little to actually do as a result.

A call to chemicals leaking and affecting some staff at St Bede’s College on Tuesday was most likely a delayed result of Sunday’s shake as the store-room involved had not been entered since then. Two teachers were treated by ambulance and crews in breathing apparatus and protective gear cleaned the mess up.

An abatement notice at Owaka Holdings Ltd to remove all medium density fibre is about to expire and is no-where near completion.

The current abatement notice due to expire said “all of the waste MDF material identi-fied on Plan A on the site must be removed by April 13, 2016”.

Riccarton-Wi-gram Community Board chairman Mike Mora (inset) said at the present rate of the volume’s removal it could take up to 10 years to get rid of.

“That is unacceptable to the community.”

Owaka Holdings Ltd business

manager Alan Edge said the city council is managing the issue.

“We’re going by the coun-cil guidelines so that is being adhered to and they monitor it each week.”

The pit has been a source of contention for years and the issues came to a head in 2013 when the pile of MDF sponta-neously caught alight and took weeks to contain.

Last year a city council report said a minimum of one rubbish bin weighing about 1.2 tonnes was to be removed every day to

the approved location of Kate Valley Landfill.

In the summer the volume was to be increased to a maxi-mum of five bins a day estimat-ed at 12 to 40 tonnes.

The community board has recommended to the city coun-cil under the existing abatement notice that the requirement will be changed to all MDF being removed from the site by April 2019.

Community board deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton said she does not think it will be

tolerable for the removal of the MDF to go beyond April 2019.

“We put in what we thought was a generous time frame,” she said.

Ms Broughton said if the MDF is not removed by this April the city council will have to issue a further abatement notice or prosecution.

She said prosecution is unlikely to happen because the city council generally likes to work through with the owners to make sure they comply with removing the MDF.

“It is far below the commu-nity’s expectations,” she said.

Community board member Debbie Mora said the city council will have to wait until deadline to see what the next step is.

Mr Mora said it has been a nightmare for everyone for a long time.

“I’ve been dealing with that particular site for more than 25 years.”

Hi Kelly, thanks for chatting to me. We’ll start off with an easy one – what’s your favourite breed of dog?

I wouldn’t say I have a favou-rite. All the dogs that come in here are cross-bred so I guess I prefer the rescued breed. We rescue and re-home condemned pound dogs at the centre. After they have their seven days at the pound there is a decision made whether to send them to an adoption centre or they are destroyed. They bring any type of dog to us, we have all kinds of breeds.

Okay. So how do you help families find the right dog?

It depends on what they’re looking for. We’re here to match a dog to them and their life-style. It highly depends on what we have and what they want.

We’re having a really good run at the moment with re-homing dogs. There seems to be a lot of people that want to adopt at the moment.

So you’re a matchmaker in a way?

We are kind of matchmakers in a way! We have no knowl-edge of the dog’s background, so we have to learn about the people they’re going to. We have a pretty casual interview with them where we want to know if they have had dogs be-fore and we ask about fencing, what kind of activities they’ll do with the dogs, whether they’ll be left at home, and want to know about everything they will do with the dog.

Ah I see. How long have you worked at the adoption centre?

I have been here for two and a half years now, and I’m 32. Before that I was at home with my son, Zack, he’s six now and at Heathcote Primary.

And I’ll bet he loves it?He just loves it and he loves

to learn, loves his friends and teachers.

What does your job entail?It’s pretty cool because I’ll

never have one day that’s the same as the next. I do everything from picking up poo and clean-ing kennels to leading the social media activity for the centre.

I also currently train about 65 volunteers. The volunteers do a range of jobs, from helping the day-to-day running of the centre, to cleaning the kennels, or out in the yard doing poo patrol, or even walking some of the dogs. Although I wish it was some-times, it isn’t about playing with puppies it’s about working and helping re-home the dogs.

And how about your own pets – how many dogs do you have?

I have a cat and a goldfish, but no dog. I don’t have time for a dog, between working and being with my son, I choose to have my time. I do foster dogs, but between work and my child it would be unfair

to have a dog full-time. I would love to have one. Zack named the cat Lightning, after Lightning McQueen and Hiccup is the goldfish, named after the

character in How to Train Your Dragon.

Very good, those names are great. What are the best and worst parts of your job?

homes for dogs in needI think in general I just love

my job, that’s my favourite. People say to me all the time who wouldn’t love your job? But their idea of my job is dif-ferent to what it actually is. It’s a really neat environment to work in, everyone is really lovely.

I’m lucky because I enjoy it every day. I’ve never woken up and said to myself ‘I don’t want to go to work’. The worst part is the dogs that we can’t save. If they’ve been damaged in whatever way, and they’re beyond care it’s a sad reality that we can’t save them all.

It’s not something that hap-pens often – we have a very low euthanasia rate and it’s not a decision made lightly. You always think about the what if scenarios. It’s the toughest part of the job and the toughest part for our volunteers.

That is rough. What were you doing before your work at the centre?

Before I was looking after Zack, I was working at a board-ing kennel, and before that I was on a dairy farm.

Oh right. In Canterbury?No, that was in Orini in the

Waikato, I’m from there origi-nally.

Ah . . . do you back the Chiefs or the Crusaders?

Probably the Crusaders if they played right now. Zack loves the Crusaders, he was born in Canterbury.

Good to hear. Where did you go to school?

I went to school in Orini. My schooling started at a primary that doesn’t exist now, and then to

Orini Combined School. I went to Fairfield College in Hamilton after that, and then I went to polytechnic and studied marketing when I left school. That’s where I met Zack’s father, and our lives changed when we came to Christ-church and had him.

Did you always know that you wanted to work with animals when you were

younger?No, I actually can’t remem-

ber what I wanted to do, but it wasn’t always going to be at the kennels. My brother drives tankers for Fonterra, and my other brother is a dairy farmer. One is older and one is younger. So we’re all still involved with animals one way or another. Mum is in Northland and dad

passed away.Oh I’m sorry about that.

have you done much travelling in your time?

No, and it’s something that I would love to do, and something I’d want to do with Zack. We used to walk and tramp quite frequently, but unfortunately he was diagnosed with a hip condition, which is a bit of a dampener. It’s called Perthes disease. We were lucky enough to secure a wheelchair for him. Now our biggest travelling is going to see family, and he loves that. He’s also really looking forward to the family fun day at the kennels.

That’s not great – I bet it makes it difficult for him?

It can be very difficult pain wise and with the limitations it puts on him. With it just being me we don’t really have any op-tions, he’s number one. Hopeful-ly he will go into regrowth and the bone will re-grow, but he will have issues that will last his whole life. All he wants to do is run and jump, and before he was playing football and martial arts, but now he’s not allowed to play sports, no jumping. Now it’ll be at least a couple of years before he can get back into it.

“So many leave it too late and miss out”Enid and Neville have lived at their Summerset retirement village apartment for over four years.

Neville had suffered ill-health for some time and wanted to know that Enid would be safe and well looked after should anything happen to him.

As Enid says, “We settled in beautifully, enjoying all the facilities, regular activities and being close to friends.”

Neville’s advice is, “Once you make the decision to do it, do it.”

Christchurch Boys’ High School has begun with the new 2016 senior moni-tor having a keen interest in athlet-ics, water polo and rugby.

Senior monitor Jake Nicholls said he is excited at the opportuni-ties this year brings and is looking forward to working alongside the 2016 monitors to “give back” to the school and wider community.

He is humbled to be given the privilege of this role.

“Unlike some teenagers, I actu-ally like running in the hills and in my spare time I also enjoy playing the drums, listening to music, coaching athletics, boating, fishing and waterskiing.”

In the future Jake is hoping to pursue a career in sports science, psychology, leadership and coach-ing or “perhaps” teaching.

St Thomas of Canterbury College is back in full swing with new college captain Luke Payne’s main goal being to give back to the community.

“The main goals I have for this year is to bring the whole of year 13 together to lead and be role models for the school.”

He said the leadership team wants to set up interesting and enjoyable activities for the students that will not only entertain them but help the wider community.

These activities will include the Shave for a Cure as well as they will set up a donation system inside the school called “coins for the city mis-sion”.

Mr Payne said this will give the St Thomas community the chance to donate to places that help people in need around the city.

“We want to leave our mark, a legacy that can be remembered by future students and families of the St Thomas college,” he said.

Goal for 2016 – give back to community

Hornby High School’s two chosen head students for 2016 is Sam Faalilo and Makayla Williams-Smith.

Head boy Sam, described as an “enthusiastic house captain” by year 13 Dean Andrew Cooper will be helping use his abili-ties to mentor others through the Peer Support programme.

Head girl Makayla Williams-Smith is captain of Hornby Girls’ Football team.

This year Makayla will be leading the school’s prefect

team by helping students get involved in the community and organising charity fund-raising events.

In his senior years Sam has won inter-school

awards such as a top Pasifika achiever.

Sam has made the most of all the

opportunities presented to him in drama and performance.

Last year he was awarded the Perry Outdoor Education Trust Award for sustainability and environmental studies.

A former commercial pilot with a passion for understanding the ‘human factors’ of aviation safety has been awarded the 2016 Jilly Murphy Memorial Scholarship for Aviation Safety.

Kate Cook now works in the operational safety team of Airways New Zealand in Christchurch, and is cur-rently complet-ing a Bachelor of Aviation Management degree through Massey University.

She will use the $5000 scholar-ship – jointly offered by Christchurch International Airport Ltd and Airways New Zealand in memory of the late Christchurch air traffic controller Jilly Murphy.

This will be to help fund her post-graduate study in human factors, including areas like fatigue, distrac-tion or impaired reasoning that can impact on human performance.

Jilly Murphy was a controller at Christchurch control tower and died during the of February 2011 earth-quake. Aviation safety was important to Jilly, so in her honour, scholarship

applicants are required to demonstrate a tangible benefit to aviation safety.

Kate says her experience as a com-mercial pilot set her on a path to learn

more about the impact human behav-iours can have on safety in the

aviation sector.“I find it a fascinat-

ing subject. During my time as a pilot, I found that talking with more experienced pilots and reading accident reports was a great way to learn

and understand where improvements could be

made in this area,” Kate says.Airways NZ chief executive

Ed Sims said he and fellow judges John Murphy (Jilly Murphy’s father) and Christchurch Airport manager of quality and security, Ford Robertson felt that Kate stood out as a truly dedi-cated aviation safety professional.

Canterbury University academics are taking leading roles in the new Government science challenge to improve health and education outcomes for New Zealand children.

Canterbury University College of Education, Health and Human Development Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Gail Gillon is co-directing the Government initiative.

It is a new national science challenge – A Better Start: E Tipu e Rea – which was launched by Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce last Friday.

The challenge aims to improve the potential of young New Zealanders to have a healthy and successful life by reducing obesity and improving learning skills and mental health in children and teenagers.

The challenge for A Better Start: E Tipu e Rea is to identify critical health, education and mental health issues that, if prevented or resolved, would have a major positive impact on the vulnerable children’s lives, Ms Gillion said.

A Better Start is one of 11 national science challenges designed to find solu-tions to large, complex issues facing New Zealanders.

The challenge involves collaboration with other New Zealand universities, including Otago, Massey, Auckland and Waikato.

Canterbury University academics are involved in all 11 of the national science challenges.

Two students from the New Zealand Broadcasting School have had their film about a dat-ing app accepted into the pres-tigious Cannes Film Festival.

Kyan Krumdieck (right) and Annabelle Dick’s film The Grind made it into the short film corner category and will be screened at the event.

The film features New Zealand people’s experience of the dating app Grindr.

The Grind will be played in the Cannes Court Métrage – the short film corner of the Cannes Film Festival.

Mr Krumdieck said this the corner where there is the oppor-tunity for the films to be bought or distributed in the market.

Finding out the film has been accepted into the Cannes Film Festival has come as significant news Mr Krumdieck, a feminist advocate especially with the Auckland Gay Pride festival that has been running this month.

The film has gained a lot of traction after it won the best stu-dent film in the national “Show Me Shorts” competition last year.

Both Miss Dick and Mr

Krumdieck are both hoping they will go to the film festival event held in May.

Mr Krumdieck said it will cost him and Miss Dick nearly $7000 together to travel over to Cannes and have set up a Givealittle page to help fund flights, accommodation, suits and attire and general expenses.

“My goal is to have a trailer made soon for people to see.”

Both are on internships as part of their studies.

Mr Krumdieck will be intern-ing with TV3’s Seven Days while Miss Dick is down in Dunedin at Channel 39 with Dunedin Television.

Short story writer Barry Southam will be launching his sixth book next week.

Mr Southam, of Mt Pleasant, has been writing fiction for the past 40 years and will be launching his collection of short stories called Exit and Entrances.

The collection includes six stories, 32 poems, and two memoirs, most of which were written in the past 12 months as Mr Southam recovered from a cancer operation.

The collection is inspired by the stories he told his children when they were young.

This includes two memoirs about “colouful characters” in Wellington, and in Kawhia, a small coastal town on the West Coast of the North Island where Mr Southam lived for several years.

Mr Southam also lived with poet James K Baxter in his urban commune in Boyle Crescent, Auckland, in the late 60s, which was described in a memoir Exodus For Some.

As part of the launch of his book Mr Southam will also give a talk he titles The Perils

and Pleasures of Creative Writing.

Having won sev-eral awards in his writing career, Mr Southam has writ-ten plays for both stage and radio – some which were produced at the old Elmwood Playhouse as well as for Radio New Zealand.

His professional career has led him

to writing reviews for theatre and while in Auckland he worked as actor in television shows.

The launch will be held at the Mt Pleasant Community Centre.

The book can be bought for $19.95

Environmental charitable organisation LiteClub is continuing to help Christchurch sports clubs save money.

Since starting in 2014 the organisation has visited 53 clubs in the Canterbury region and LiteClub head of opera-tions Sam Maclean said it was all about reducing clubs’ carbon footprint.

“Think of how many more gold medal Olympians we would have if every grassroots club spend more of their fund-

ing on coaching and equipment for our future stars rather than on their power and energy bills,” he said.

Each time the organisation goes to a club, the team spends two to three hours installing as many eco-friendly products as possible from LED lightbulbs to recycling centres.

The organisation then com-piles a report to indicate what further changes can be made and give assistance with product advice and possible funding options.

Mr Maclean said after a visit

to the area in October last year, the organisation has returned to keep up with demand.

“During our last visit we un-fortunately couldn’t get around to all the clubs that registered with us so we have come down again to get round to the rest of them,” he said.

While in Christchurch, the or-ganisation will spend time with the following clubs – Papanui Rugby League, Christchurch Yachting , Mt Pleasant Squash, New Brighton Athletics, Heath-cote cricket and the Waitikiri Golf Club

Christchurch Girls’ High School student Amelia Persson has won the under-16 girls’ Canterbury secondary schools triathlon title.

Persson finished in a time of 35min 38sec, 2min ahead of second place Mya Graham of St Andrew’s College.

The championships were held at Lake Pegasus on February 18.

All competitors were required to complete a 350m swim, a 9km cycle and then a 3km run.

Strong winds on the day caused extra challenging condi-tions for the athletes, in particu-lar on the swim and cycle legs.

The school also had a one-two finish in the under-16 girls’ team event with only 30sec between the two teams.

Burnside High School student Harley Porter won the under-19 boys’ race, ahead of the Christ’s College duo of Henry Idiens and Sam Averill.

Year 13 student Emma Smith of Villa Maria finished second in the under-19 girls’ race, 2min behind winner Ari Graham of St Andrew’s.

Christchurch Boys’ High School student Zac Taylor fin-ished the under-16 boys’s race second, behind Saxon Morgan from St Andrew’s.

The art of kicking it up in the capitalLinda Hall START planning your trip to Wel-lington now for the Kick Up the Arts New Zealand Festival 2016 from February 26 to March 20.

The programme is amazing and includes shows for all ages and tastes.

While you are there you should take the opportunity to do a bit of exploring. I have some great places for you to visit, relax and most importantly eat.

But first a bit more about the main event—the New Zealand Arts Festival.

Event director Shelagh Magadza has been working on the programme for the biennial event for the past two years.

“It was a challenge to come up with a programme that suits a number of tastes but I believe we have done that,” she said. “This festival gets huge support from people all over New Zealand. And that’s what the spirit of the festi-val is all about —bringing people together.”

She advises booking accom-modation and tickets as early as possible as thousands flock to the capital for the festival.

The mass dance performance will open the festival on Friday, February 26, in the Civic Square. For a full list of events and to

book go to festival.co.nz

While you are in Wellington, go to:

• Havana Bar and Restaurant Tucked away in a side street and an easy stroll from the hustle and bustle of Cuba Street, the awardwinning bar and restaurant is renowned for its delicious Spanish-inspired tapas. The menu is wonderful with mouthwatering dishes like Roast Pork Belly with

a Mojo Cilantro, Pickled Shallots and crackling, which I couldn’t resist.

The upbeat atmosphere is down to the fantastic enthusiastic staff who wore huge smiles, I felt like I was their top priority. 32 Wigan St

• The Library This place is really funky. It was packed the evening I went. There’s a cosy lounge bar, read-ing room, live music venue, with tapas and dessert. Level 1, 53

Courtenay Place • Nikau Cafe

I had to wait for a table but ended up sitting up at the bar at this de-lightful cafe. It was packed, noisy and fabulous. The menu changes on a regular basis. Wellington City Art Gallery, Civic Square 101 Wakefield St

What to do between festival shows After all that food you might like to take a stroll around the Wellington Writers Walk taking in the sculptures along the harbour. Each one contains a quo-tation about the city from a poem or piece of prose by writers who have made Wellington their home.

A few more tips: • Wellington City Art Gallery

Take a stroll through this fantastic art gallery with its world class exhibitions of contemporary New Zealand and international art. Civic Square, Wakefield St

• Wellington Museum I love poking around in museums. This museum is ranked one of the top 50 in the world by The Times UK and I can see why. The building itself is magnificent. I spent a couple of hours wondering around, enjoying being taken back a 1000 years. It’s a must-do when in Wellington.

It’s situated right on the water-

front so you can go for a stroll afterwards. This is just a tiny taste of Wellington. One of the things I love about the city is you don’t need a vehicle. You are in walking distance of anything you could possibly want. This vibrant city never fails to put a smile on my face and, as they say, you can’t beat Wellington on a fine day.

■ Museum of NZ Te PapaTongarewaYou can’t visit Wellington withoutgoing to Te Papa. You canwonder through by yourself ortake a guided tour. I went on a tourwith Roger Gascoigne. Think1980s telly. He was a regular andpopular host of shows from Readyto Roll to Telethons and wasfamous for his wink.

His depth of knowledge aboutnot only what we could see of theamazing exhibitions, but alsowhat goes on beneath the surfaceof this place is incredible andinspiring . He made me laugh, hemade me think, he made mewonder about times and peoplelong gone. Roger loves his job.

“I like meeting all the wonderfulpeople that come here,” he said.

“I’ve had my share of“Hollywood moments” when I’verecognised someone and seenthat look on their face that says‘please don’t make a fuss’. Ofcourse I don’t.”

I would highly recommend aguided tour next time you visit TePapa. You just learn so much. Ifyou are lucky you might just getMr Gascoigne as your guide —although I’m sure all their guidesare great!❏ 55 Cable Street■ Wellington City Art GalleryTake a stroll through this fantasticart gallery with its world classexhibitions of contemporary NewZealand and international art.❏ Civic Square, Wakefield Street■ Wellington MuseumI love poking around in museums.This museum is ranked one of thetop 50 in the world by The TimesUK and I can see why.

YOGIROCKSTAR: ShivaRea, right, andRachel connectatWanderlust,Taupo.

“The people, the people,” repliedAmerican superstar Shiva Rea.My question had been “What

was the highlight of your trip toNew Zealand?”Shiva was among a string of

top yoga teachers at the four-dayannualWanderlust festival inTaupo. More than 3000 peopleflocked there for a smorgasbordof yoga andmeditation classes,mindful living workshops,healthy food andmusic. Festivaldirector Jonnie Halstead dubbedthe festival “yoga-tainment”(yoga and entertainment). Itcatered to themainstream, nothippies, he emphasised.Shiva calls yoga “fun

therapy”. She remarked that

things like yoga, music andbeing in nature can help you to“feel alive” and to change“neural pathways”.I experienced her vinyasa-

flow-dance-classes. It felt like agiant hug, dance and smile-festwith yoga-style grooves.

I was lucky enough toaccompany her too in a group toRotopounamu (a bushwalkaround a beautiful lake) in theTongariro National Park. Hereshe relished receiving atraditional Maori welcome,songs and doing the hongi with

Maori elders.We stood on thesite where the hakawas born.Midway through the bush

walk, Shiva led a yoga nidra(meditation). Our group layunder the sun, lakeside, and thiswas so powerful I reached thatbliss place and I’m pretty sure Ifell asleep— and I wasn’t theonly one!But what I took awaymost

from Shiva that weekendwasmore thanmemorable yogamoves and experiencing ameditation so powerful I couldtranscend into a place of utterpeace. I felt Shiva’s incrediblepresence. Shiva holds hands,embraces and locks her gaze onstrangers. She holds youwithher strong, tiny armswithintention at any opportunity—

and longer than severalmoments. She sees you, listens,asks questions of you.I was lucky to have timewith

this yoga rock star. But I wasn’tspecial. Shiva delightfully doesthis with whomever she crossespaths. Each soul is special in hershining, “seeing” eyes.Connecting with others

enriches our well-being. It’s atthe heart of yoga. Materialpossessions fade. Shiva’s right— life’s about people andconnection.

Italian wine is becomingavailable here andwhile it’shardly rocket science figuringout how Italy (with its climaticblessings) produces superlativewines, for the average winelover the Italian labelling systemis likened to understanding howNASA coaxes the space shuttleto re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.

Complex is an understatement.Italy’s Denomination of

Origin laws regulate everyaspect of grape growing andwinemaking. They’ve recently

been amended to encourageexperimentation with non-traditional grape varieties andtechniques and there are nowfour different quality categories:Vino da Tavola (VDT)—

cheap, cheerful table wines thatdon’t need to state a grapevariety or a vintage date.Indicazione Geografica Tipica

(IGT)— these wines sit betweenVino da Tavola and DOC. Therationale is to slightly elevate alarge number of Italy’s better

table wines. The label must citeits specific region andmay statevarietal type and vintage.Denominazione di Origine

Controllata (DOC)—These areregistered by the government.Labels must state the zone oforigin and the winesmust meetcertain production standards.Only approved planting, cultiva-ting and fertilisingmethods canbe used andmaximum yields,bottling specifications, alcoholcontent and ageing etc. are

strictly controlled. Thegovernment conducts randomreviews and audits.Denominazione di Origine

Controllata e Garantita (DOCG)Themost stringent of the

categories is DOC plus requiresa wine producer to control andguarantee everything claimedon the label. Affixed to the bottleis a government seal of approvaland the wine is subject toanalysis at any time bygovernment inspectors.

Q A&How long do fresh dates keep?In a cool cupboard, up to amonth; in an airtightcontainer in the fridge,about ninemonths; tightlysealed in the freezer, atleast a year. But fresh dates

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but it’s often the one that’s hardest to fit into busy schedules. Why not make a positive change?

Fancy an Italian tonight? Read this firstW

hat’s up DOC, or isthat DOCG? I thinkI have VDT . . .More andmore

Italian wine is becomingavailable here andwhile it’shardly rocket science figuringout how Italy (with its climaticblessings) produces superlativewines, for the average winelover the Italian labelling systemis likened to understanding howNASA coaxes the space shuttleto re-enter Earth’s atmosphere.

Complex is an understatement.Italy’s Denomination of

Origin laws regulate everyaspect of grape growing andwinemaking. They’ve recently

been amended to encourageexperimentation with non-traditional grape varieties andtechniques and there are nowfour different quality categories:Vino da Tavola (VDT)—

cheap, cheerful table wines thatdon’t need to state a grapevariety or a vintage date.Indicazione Geografica Tipica

(IGT)— these wines sit betweenVino da Tavola and DOC. Therationale is to slightly elevate alarge number of Italy’s better

table wines. The label must citeits specific region andmay statevarietal type and vintage.Denominazione di Origine

Controllata (DOC)—These areregistered by the government.Labels must state the zone oforigin and the winesmust meetcertain production standards.Only approved planting, cultiva-ting and fertilisingmethods canbe used andmaximum yields,bottling specifications, alcoholcontent and ageing etc. are

strictly controlled. Thegovernment conducts randomreviews and audits.Denominazione di Origine

Controllata e Garantita (DOCG)Themost stringent of the

categories is DOC plus requiresa wine producer to control andguarantee everything claimedon the label. Affixed to the bottleis a government seal of approvaland the wine is subject toanalysis at any time bygovernment inspectors.

Q A&How long do fresh dates keep?In a cool cupboard, up to amonth; in an airtightcontainer in the fridge,about ninemonths; tightlysealed in the freezer, atleast a year. But fresh dates

are expensive, so best tobuy in small quantities anduse fairly soon. Try themstuffed with cream cheeseor dark chocolate for aninteresting after-dinnertreat, or serve them as iswith a cheese board.Packaged dried dates keeplonger, but it’s not a badidea to store these in thefridge too.

Get funky with fish and fennelFishwrappedinherbs.

CELEBRITYCOOK JuliaChild was famous for herpronunciation of theword ‘herbs’. She said

‘erbs’. I thought this was purelyAmerican slang, but accordingto Alan Davidson’s OxfordCompanion to Food, until the19th century, the wordwaspronouncedwith a silent ‘h’ onboth sides of the Atlantic. It nowsurvives only in America.Summer brings an

abundance of sweet smellingherbs.Melissa officinalis, known as

balm, lemon balm, common balmor balmmint, is frequently usedin fish dishes, fruit salads and isthe key ingredient in lemonbalm pesto. The leaves have agentle lemon scent and can beused in place of lemon peel inrecipes.Parsley (themost popular of

herbs) has curly leaves or flat.The latter is often called Italianparsley and has amore robustflavour. Curly parsley is greatdeep-fried for use as a garnish.Coriander, also known as

cilantro, Chinese parsley ordhania, has flat leaves and issimilar in shape to flat-leafparsley. However, the wholeplant can be used.Anise-flavoured fennel

fronds are tasty in salads andadded to stronger-flavoured fishdishes. Layer fennel and fish andwrap in foil. Bake or barbecue.

Reserved for you 37 Springwater Ave, NorthwoodAuction: March 03, 20163 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2-car garage | 6 off-street parks | Listing #: PI42476

Built from Oamaru stone and framed by fabulous gardens, and a stunning reserve aspect, this stylish contemporary home plays host to

three bedrooms, two bathrooms (including an en suite off the master) and the added convenience of a generous study. No where is the attention to detail that went into the design and construction of this superlative residence more evident than in the kitchen, a highly functional space complete with all the prerequisite bells and whistles.

A variety of living zones offer flexibility for any and every occasion, with both the dining area and the conservatory enjoying compelling views across to the adjacent native reserve. A double-sided gas fire contributes to the home’s inherent warmth, and high ceilings enhance the sense of space, while seamless indoor/outdoor flow ensures you’ll spend plenty of time enjoying the magnificent grounds.

And it’s here that our green-thumbed vendors have really thrived, pouring considerable time and energy into the establishment of a fabulous outdoor area. Lush lawns offer plenty of room for the kids to play and the pets to roam, while sun-soaked entertaining spaces ensure the adults have their own space to relax and unwind.

When a change of scenery is required there’s a children’s park right across the road and the Groynes is just a stone’s throw away. Double garaging and plenty of off-street parking completes the appeal, while the

proximity to the Northwood Supa Centre ensures every amenity you could ever need is within easy reach.

The pride our owners have taken in their home is clear for all to see, and the decision to leave was certainly not an easy one to reach. But with their minds made up and their thoughts now focused on the next chapter of their lives, they present their lovingly maintained home to the market with genuine determination and resolve.

Open Days: Saturday and Sunday, 2.30pm to 3.15pm. See you at the open homes or call me today for a private viewing appointment - contact Deb Harvey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 220 6565.
