Post-quake housing prices in Hornby are booming as the Government announces 237 new homes for the area.

Last week the Government announced a housing develop-ment would be built on Awatea-Carrs Rd as part of its affordable housing plan.

But Wigram MP Dr Megan Woods said its price mark was out of reach for too many.

Average market value for homes in the area has been steadily increasing, rising from $275,000 to more than $400,000 in the past four years.

Since 2012, the average price of rent has also increased by

more than $100, from $320 to $430 per week.

The national average rent was $374 dollars per week.

Out of the Government’s 237 new homes, only 89 would be tailored for those on a lower income, at a purchase price of less than $400,000.

With about 56 per cent of resi-dents in the area on an annual income of less than $70,000, Dr Woods said: “There needs to be a serious assessment of the housing crisis in Christchurch, and 89 homes for the price of $400,000 is not going to be it.”

She said there needed to be options available on a much larger scale.

Perspiration saturates my skin as realisation dawns - I was facing a killer puffer fish…

&McMaster HeapVeterinary practice

Another early morning, YET AGAIN!!! I remember today we were going snorkeling (for the second time) but this time with a different company. It is another warm day, too warm a day in Aussie. As the tribe of “Heaps” stroll down the marina, we inevitably got lost. Then Connor my older brother, a man of many words, said “stick with the herd of tourists”. His words of wisdom saved us from our first peril. 1st peril: Getting lost at marina. 2nd peril: Mum seasick (NOT!! A pretty sight). 3rd peril: Putting on the wet suit (dad insisted “it will keep you warm”.... NOT) 4th peril: Finding the right fitting mask for your face, snorkel and flippers.

As you can see, there are a lot of perils but to stop you from wasting half your day reading the list I’ll go on. Anyway by then we were almost ready to hop into the warm, clear, colourful waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I will list some animals in the reef and some will have a caution or dangerous note but keep in mind the chances of seeing them are slim. I did my research and I named my favourite 12 sea animals.

1 Humpback Whale 2 Green Turtle 3 Loggerhead Turtle 4 Olive Sea Snake - CAUTION 5 Whitetip Reef Shark 6 Blacktip Reef Shark 7 Reef Manta Ray 8 Red Firefish - CAUTION 9 Clown Fish 10 Humphead Maroi Wrasse 11 Blackspotted Puffer - CAUTION 12 Textile Coneshell - DANGEROUS

Non-important note/fact (opinionated note/fact) You will notice that I did not put caution on the sharks. Did you know they kill ten humans each year. We kill about 100 million of them yearly. They are very important at the top of the food chain. Remove these from the food chain and the Cortex Squid will step up and kill everything.

Any way, I’m getting off topic. We sailed on Poseidon, a snorkeling company boat. We had three snorkeling stops on the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkeling is actually easy as long as your mask fits snugly and doesn’t fill with water. The sea is so warm, the corals brilliant colours and there are hundreds of different fish to spot. Even mum who is a nervous swimmer just loved what she saw under the ocean. The second stop was the best as dad, Connor and I saw a Whitetip Reef Shark just cruising on the bottom. Mum fled the scene terrified.

Connor took lots of underwater photos until his hand cramped up and mum took over. I saw a Blackspotted Puffer Fish too.

The ship packed a lot of crew on for safety reasons including a marine biologist, who shared a lot of enjoyable information. Some facts to share are -

• 1% of the worlds ocean are “reefs” but they contain 25% of the worlds sealife • 0.02% of the worlds ocean is a marine reserve • There are soft and hard corals • The colour of corals is due to refraction of light rays

• Clown Anemonefish are all born male and will only change to be a dominant female. They clean the sea anemone by eating parasites, algae and zooplankton and the anemone offers protection from predators.

I spent hours in the water and was exhausted at the end of the afternoon. I went on a tour with the marine biologist at the last stop and she swam all over showing us all sorts of things including sea cucumbers, starfish and bump head parrot fish. We got a huge lunch on board the Poseidon and luckily mum wasn’t sick on the homebound trip.

It sure was a day to remember.

One Christchurch family is receiv-ing some much-needed com-munity support to look after their sick daughter.

Three-year-old pre-schooler Charlotte Moriarty has an ag-gressive soft-tissue tumour in her pelvis.

To get the treatment she needs, Charlotte’s family have had to move to Australia for radiotherapy which could not be provided in New Zealand.

Charlotte’s father Joe Moriarty was a builder and carpenter. He quit his job mid-year to start up his own business, until Charlotte was diagnosed in July.

After Mr Moriarty quit his job, Portebelo Preschool in Avonhead, was worried the family would not have enough money to support themselves overseas.

The Canterbury District Health Board had provided funding for Charlotte and her mother, but her twin brother, PJ and father have had to fund themselves.

To help out, Avonhead residents have been pitching in to help support the pre-schooler and her family.

Last Thursday, the pre-school held a shared morning tea and

bake sale, where it raised more than $1000 for the young girl.

Pre-school members organised the community fundraiser to help supply basic needs, such as ac-commodation.

The money raised would also help Charlotte and her family to pay for the specific form of radio-therapy, brachytherapy.

Portebelo Preschool centre leader Lisa Dean said families and teachers had done all they could

to try to help out.“One teacher organised a raffle,

and one of the parents donated some handmade headbands for people to buy as well,” she said.

Portebelo Preschool team leader Ayanthi Nonis said Charlotte was always a quiet, helpful child.

“Both Charlotte and PJ were very popular with their friends.

The family didn’t want to split up the twins and the brother being there is a very big help for Char-

lotte,” she said.It was only 20 months ago

Charlotte and her family im-migrated to Christchurch from London.

Through crowd-funding tool Givealittle.co.nz, the Moriarty family had so far raised more than $15,000 for the treatment.

All the money raised by the pre-school would be donated to the Givealittle fund. The Givealittle page is at www.givealittle.co.nz/cause/CharlieChemo.

Community supports family

SUPPORT: Charlotte Ann Moriarty, 3, attended Portebelo Preschool in Avonhead. The pre-school has been fundraising for her radiotherapy in Australia.

Donation for schoolsOver the past four weeks shoe company The Athlete’s Foot has donated more than $17,000 to Christchurch schools. Through the 2014 School Rewards Programme, The Athlete’s Foot Northlands and Riccarton have presented 18 Christchurch schools with cash, vouchers and sporting equipment. Riccarton High School, Middleton Grange, Cobham Intermediate School, Christchurch Boys’ High School, Kirkwood Intermediate School and Medbury School were one of the many recipients of the rewards programme this year.

WalkGroups ‘From the Ground Up’ and ‘A Brave New City’ will be hosting a transect walk through the Ilam and Upper Riccarton neighbour-hood this Sunday. The project aims to bring a hands-on approach to defining the character, activities, attractions and issues in the area.

Summer sportRiccarton can look forward to a new outlook on summer sport, with two new touch rugby modules for the area. Touch Canterbury and Touch New Zealand have endorsed a new competition, which would run until December 16 (senior), and Tuesday, November 4 to December 9 (junior) at Middleton Park.

“We are where you are”

So Chris, tell me a bit about yourself, are you Christchurch born and bred?

No I’m not actually. I’m an immigrant – I’m from South Africa.

When did you move to New Zealand?

I arrived with my family in 2002, and I was a policeman in South Africa before I came over to do my teacher training in New Zealand.

Have you always lived in the same area here?

I’ve always lived in South-bridge; the rural community has been really good to us. Our daughter was nine at the time we moved here, and we didn’t want to stop her education. So we enrolled her in school two to three days in, and then ended up staying – 12 years on we’re still in Southbridge. But it is time now to make a shift into Red-wood.

So from a policeman to a teacher, why the shift in roles?

I know it sounds unusual for a policeman to teach, but I was

a dog instructor in the force so had always been a teacher in some way. I have a passion for teaching and learning and mak-ing a difference for kids.

How did it happen?I’ve always wanted to be a

part of education. There was an opportunity I saw on an advert, I think, on a TeachNZ site, and so met up with Dr Jo Fletcher and had an interview, and they said come on board. I’ve always had a love for education.

You teach at Tai Tapu School, how long have you been there?

This is my eighth year at Tai Tapu. I started in 2007 and will keep going up until end of this year.

How have you enjoyed your time there?

I’ve loved it. It’s been a great school, a great community.

I’ve been fortunate enough to coach the girls’ cricket side, and we’re back to Palmerston North for the third year for nationals – last week we won the South Island championships. I’m very sporty so I love that it’s a sporty community out here.

So, did you study at the university here?

I took up my studies here

in 2006 at the College of Education and got my teaching degree. I’m actually back doing my postgraduate education studies at the moment. It’s a one-year postgraduate course. I’ll finish at the end of this year, and then I have another two papers to go. So I’ll carry on studying while I’m at Red-wood.

Studying and working full-time, sounds busy.

Chris Els will be taking a big step to become deputy principal of Redwood Primary School next year. Reporter Grace Cabell speaks to him about working as a policeman in South Africa, the challenges in his career so far and what he is looking forward to most about his new role.

a new communityIt is going to be busy but I enjoy

it. The way this course has been run it has great networking, a lot of educators and principals are working collaboratively. We want kids these days to work collabora-tively so it’s great we have educa-tors working and sharing research as well.

I like keeping the old brain ticking over.

So what prompted your decision to move into deputy principal at Redwood?

I just felt like it was time for me, I’m doing the leadership pa-pers and training at the moment, and Andrew Barker, the principal at Tai Tapu had been chatting to me about my next steps. I just felt it was the right time for me to put my hand up to take on a bigger leadership role.

How do you feel about leav-ing?

I don’t even know . . . it is quite hard because I’m excited, but at the same time I’ve done my bit at Tai Tapu. I feel like I changed the culture quite a bit and have left it in a good place. But no one is ir-replaceable so someone new will come in with new ideas.

It is quite sad – a lot of commu-nity people have come up to me in the last few days saying they’ll miss me, but I do think it’s time to move on.

What are you looking forward to the most?

I suppose coming to a new

community and a new school, looking at and seeing the culture of Redwood and trying to make a difference there.

It’s a bit of a step up – are you looking forward to the chal-lenge?

I am – I’m excited for the chal-lenge – I’m actually meeting with the principal there early next month and I’ll have a better idea of what it will entail. I just really want to seek my teeth into some-thing new now.

What has been one of the big-gest challenges in your career so far?

Well I’m quite an easy go-ing guy so I get on well with everyone. But I suppose the earthquakes, and having to look after the community’s children

through that. Although I’d been a policeman and you deal with crisis all the time, when you’re dealing with other people’s kids and keeping them safe – well that was quite a big challenge at the time. I’d never experienced an earthquake before.

What’s been one of your favourite moments as a teacher so far?

I think probably on the sports field – I’ve been really fortunate to coach a number of good sides. We’ve gone to nationals for cricket twice now, coached quite a bit of representative rugby as well and we’ve done really well on the field.

So you’re pretty involved with sports coaching Chris?

Yeah, I actually haven’t coached club sides for a while. I’ve

coached rugby at Southbridge and representative rugby, but at the moment I’m focused more on my son who is 17-years-old and goes to St Thomas of Canterbury College. He’s got his rowing and rugby.

We love our sports as a family and I’ve followed my son pretty closely for the last few years.

Can you tell me a bit about the rest of your family?

I have a daughter who is 21, Shani, she’s just done her post-graduate degree up in Wellington and is taking up a teaching posi-tion there this year. Then there’s my son, Adrian is year 12 going into year 13 at St Thomas, and my wife Elmarie, is the PA to the director at Discovery 1 School. So we’re all part of education.

Have you done much in the Redwood community before?

Not at all. I’ve basically always been Selwyn-based and involved in Selwyn schools so I’m quite new to Christchurch schools. And even that I’m looking forward to – working with new networks and clusters in the city.

What sports and hobbies are you involved with yourself?

Well there is coaching, and I love my golf and then basically just family time. I love spending time with my family. Because my daughter is in Wellington I love when I can get up there. And then I do a lot of reading. I love to open books for a good read.

LAST ROUND: Chris Els coaches the senior girls’ cricket team at Tai Tapu School.

•From page 1Building and Housing Minister Dr

Nick Smith said the Government’s answer for Christchurch’s housing crisis was to increase supply with a particular focus on new homes priced for those on modest incomes.

“The unique aspect of this design is the mix of new homes that are more affordable than typical market offerings in Christchurch and will be available at a range of prices,” he said.

The Government’s low-purchase price was no lower than that of the average house price in the area.

Christchurch East MP and Associ-ate Housing spokeswoman, Poto Williams, said for lower income earners, $400,000 was unobtainable.

“We haven’t had the wages in-crease at the same rate to afford the increase, so there is no way they will be able to afford this,” she said.

Original director for the Real Estate Institution of New Zealand, Tony McPherson, said this was the reality of the market place.

“It’s been a very strong market area, and obviously with the devel-opment going we would see demand not diminishing in that area,” he said.

Company director of Harcourts Hornby, Kevin Mckay, said the new development would bring down-ward pressure for those on a low- budget income.

Construction is expected to begin by the end of the year, with the first homes expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.

Recent residential boom for the area has organisers of the Halswell Light Party expecting the biggest turnout yet.

In 2012, the Halloween alterna-tive attracted 3000 to 4000 people.

Last year an estimated 5000 people joined in on the festivities.

Event organiser Kate Cleverly said she expects this year’s to be bigger than ever.

“I can see it feeding the whole of the southwest of Christchurch,” she said.

Ms Cleverly said in the past she had been flooded with nothing but positive feedback from the all-ages Halloween fair.

“It’s one of those things that just started off as something local as an alternative to Halloween. It was such a need in the community,” she said.

Halswell Community Project member Chrys Horn said or-ganisers were worried about the potential size.

“I think it will be huge this year. It will certainly be the same size and may grow even more,” she said.

The party stands as an alterna-tive to traditional Halloween activities, with free events includ-ing pony rides, train rides, bouncy castles and face painting.

“It’s a great night for local fami-lies to get together and hang out,” said Ms Cleverly.

She said the event last year attracted people of all ages from around Christchurch.

The event will have live perfor-mances by El Gregoe the Illusion-ist, Halswell Community Choir, Hillmorton Hip Hop crew - United Flavor, Oaklands School kapa haka and the cast of Esther the Musical from Aidanfield Christian School.

Event likely to draw large crowd

RISING NUMBERS: Last year an estimated 5000 people attended the Light Festival. Organisers ex-pect this year’s to be even bigger.

FEATURING: Oaklands School kapa haka performing at last year’s Halswell Light Festival. The group will be performing again this year.

Exceptional service and outstand-ing leadership skills have secured Bryndwr resident Chris Asher (right) a spot as finalist in the Young Retailer of the Year category in this year’s Wares Awards.

Each year, the Wares Awards acknowledges the achievements of retailers in the appliance retail sector.

The 30-year-old is already the manager of Noel Leeming Riccar-ton, and will now stand as one of three finalists up for the title at this year’s awards.

Mr Asher is the only Cantabrian to be named as a finalist.

“Winning the award would be a fantastic achievement, to be recog-nised amongst a group of leading retailers in the industry,” said Mr Asher.

The winner of the Young Retailer of the Year Award will not only re-ceive industry-wide recognition for their achievement but also a travel grant to visit an international trade show of their choice.

Mr Asher said he looked forward to having the opportunity to talk about the future of retail.

The winner would be announced at an awards ceremony on Novem-ber 13, in Auckland.

The latest Mike Pero Real Estate business is new to Avonhead Mall, offering a local service to the people of Avonhead and surrounds. Owner Sonia Tafilipepe opened the agency several weeks ago, after having worked as service delivery and training manager, recruitment officer and auctioneer for the corporate side of Mike Pero. “I was helping other people buy their own businesses and saw the opportunity to do the same,” says Sonia. With four sales people and administration and marketing/IT staff, the agency has hit the ground running and is already busy with both buying and selling properties. “It’s a buoyant market at the moment. I’ve recently listed 20 properties and receiving offers every second day. Many are cash buyers,” she says. The Mike Pero brand is extremely strong and popular for offering a range of marketing options, including television advertisements, an 0800 phone number and, most importantly for many sellers, only 2.95 per cent commission. “Our low commission means that clients are paying far less to sell their home but also have the advantage of being with Mike Pero as one of the top

real estate agencies in New Zealand.” Sonia and her team are always happy to help both buyers and sellers, and Sonia’s personal approach is often welcomed during what can be a stressful time for many. She is also an auctioneer, making Mike Pero at Avonhead Mall a full service agency. Mike Pero at Avonhead Mall has properties from throughout Christchurch and features listings outside the agency, or they can be viewed on the website at www.mikepero.com. If you are thinking of selling your home or purchasing a new one, give Sonia Tafilipepe at Mike Pero Avonhead a call on 03 423 9485 or visit the team next time you are at Avonhead Mall. opens in Avonhead

Walking through the front entrance of Avonhead Shopping Centre and the first shop you see is Token. Inside you will find a gift and homewares shop which is truly different from any other with many designer pieces on display that are exclusive to Token. The store has been busy since it opened at Avonhead Mall only a month ago. Owner Eliza Rattray says that she has personally selected every item and loves everything in store. Sourced locally and from overseas, the extensive range of jewellery includes beautiful fine rings, necklaces and bracelets from Jolie and Deen, chunky glass and wooden pieces from Stilen and a variety of designs from Rare Rabbit. Handbags and wallets are a feature from Status Anxiety and the Bloomingville vases and candle holders make a perfect gift idea. Surmanti hand and body creams feature sophisticated black and gold packaging. Try the argan and camellia seed body mousse or the mango and rosehip. Beautifully scented Ecoya candles are also in store. A huge selection of baby gifts and children’s toys makes buying that perfect present for family and friends an easy choice. Colour is key with a wonderful variety of soft furnishings along with bowls, plates and platters, or for that simple but effective look, black and white combinations are always popular. Eliza also owns the Avonhead Pharmacy with her husband and opening the interconnected shop, she says, has given her an opportunity to enjoy her creative side. All the items are beautifully displayed and presented, making the store an easy place to browse. “I choose items that I love and I enjoy bringing in anything that is a bit different and can’t be found at other gift shops in Christchurch,” says Eliza. And be warned: It’s almost impossible to leave Token without purchasing anything – a testament to Eliza’s great taste in selecting such a wonderful and eclectic variety of gift and home wares. Token’s telephone number is 358 3663 for any enquiries.

It is not every day you get to abseil down the side of a building in the central city.

Earlier this month, staff and stu-dents from Hornby High School participated in the Drop Your Boss fundraising event, which aimed to raise money for the Can-terbury branch of the Foundation for Youth Development.

Hornby High student Jonty Robertson was also lucky enough to be included in the event.

The event aimed to raise more than $14,000 to support the Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K pro-grammes provided at the school.

Hornby High teachers Honor Davies and Corey Kamaiera, were among the 30 bosses who abseiled down the Les Mills building on Cashel St.

Jonty completed his abseil alongside mountaineer Graeme Dingle, co-founder of the Foun-dation of Youth Development Trust which delivers the pro-grammes to the schools.

Jonty learned to abseil while participating in one of the pro-grammes, Project K.

“Abseiling down a building alongside Graeme Dingle was re-ally different from abseiling down a rock while on the Project K wilderness adventure,” said Jonty.

Through his dedication to the

programme, Jonty was selected to represent Canterbury at the foun-dation’s annual excellence awards.

He said being selected was “such a surprise” but he was excited to have been chosen.

Jonty delivered the speech given at the Project K graduation to Lieu-tenant General The Right Honour-able Sir Jerry Mateparae, and Lady Janine Mateparae at government house last Wednesday.

The Canterbury Catholic Diocese has sold the damaged St. Brendan’s church in Templeton to develop-ers.

The church is likely to be demol-ished and the diocese will use the money to upgrade facilities else-where.

Local developers bought the 4047m2 section last month and the terms of sale are still being nego-tiated, but it is expected that they will clear the site to make way for seven new residential homes.

Parish Pastoral Council chair-person Bevan Killick said the original stained glass windows and door hinges will be used in an extension to the St Bernadette’s church and parish centre in Horn-by.

Now at only eight per cent compliance with the required building code, Mr Killick said his council deemed it “uneconomic to repair.”

St Brendan’s had already stopped being used for regular Sunday mass prior to the earthquakes and has remained unused for the last three and a half years.

Bishop Barry Jones of the Can-terbury Catholic Diocese said the church was a “wreck” from dam-age caused by the earthquakes.

When St Brendan’s church was built in 1922, it came as a debt-free donation to the community.

One hundred per cent of the sale benefit of the Canterbury Catholic Diocese.

The money from the sale will stay in the Hornby/Darfield par-ish, so to benefit Templeton residents who already attend nearby churches including the St Bernadette’s Church in Hornby, said Bishop Jones.

The growing church is being extended to accommodate the in-creased population in the area fol-lowing the earthquakes.

Plans include strengthening work and building a meeting room, a parish office, a confes-sional, and seating for an extra 70

people.St. Bernadette’s is often “full

to the brim,” and the extension would better suit the crowd and “amazing Pacific Island choirs,” Mr Killick said.

Money would also be used to strengthen other properties in the parish, including mass centres in Rolleston, Sockburn, Lincoln, and Darfield.

Out of all of the Catholic churches in this diocese, St Bren-dan’s is the only one the Parish Council has chosen to sell.

BY MARK THOMAS – F I R E RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

I wasn’t able to write a Flame Files column last week.

I was several kilometres up a farm track on a hillside near Hur-unui where an Ohoka farmer lost his life in a controlled burn-off.

I mention this because it was an-other example of a lack of knowl-edge on just how fast a fire can grow leaving the poor victim overcome.

As a city firefighter I’ve seen this regularly over the years in the far too many fatal fires I’ve attended.

Many, in houses, would not have proved fatal with the simple installation of smoke alarms.

Without them, as in Hurunui, by the time the victims realised they were in trouble, it was too late to escape.

Last weekend there was a spate of skips and rubbish bins deliberately lit in New Brighton.

If you have a commercial busi-ness in this area, or anywhere for that matter, for goodness sake please ensure skips are kept well away from buildings and wheelie bins are secured or locked away.

There are arsonists free and living in our city. Don’t make it easy for them!

A call to Ariel Place in Aranui last Sunday was a bit like a blast from the past when a waterbed started to leak and the house occupants could not contain it.

We had quite a few of these ‘back in the day’ but I haven’t see one for several years.

The house was left with hose in the bladder siphoning to the out-side. All fixed!

More than half of us believe we’re above average when it comes to health but the country as a whole doesn’t fare too well,

according to new research by Sovereign.“Our latest research revealed 57 per cent of

Kiwis think that New Zealand, as a nation, is not very healthy, but 53 per cent believe they live a healthier lifestyle than the average New Zealander so it doesn’t apply to them,” says Sovereign chief medical o� cer Dr John Mayhew.

“Interestingly, men rate themselves slightly higher than their female counterparts and 72 per cent of those in Marlborough and West Coast believe their health is above the averageNew Zealander.”

Sovereign’s research also delved into what we believe good health to be, including our understanding of what contributes to a healthy life.

“� ere are documented medical links between happiness and good health. Happier people live longer and experience less heart disease, colds, high blood pressure and other serious illnesses. At Sovereign, more than 30 per cent of our disability income claims are due to mental illness. People need to be more aware of the importance of their happiness and its contribution to our overall health,” says Dr Mayhew.

In another concerning statistic, a signi� cant 66 per cent of people admitted to su� ering from insomnia or broken sleep

“Supporting New Zealanders to live healthier lifestyles will not only make a di� erence to each person individually, the lives of their families and communities, but to the country overall. Healthier people need less medical intervention. Healthier communities place fewer burdens on the public health system. Healthy people are happier people and have better wellbeing.”

over the last 12 months.“Not getting enough shut-eye on a regular

basis can have devastating e� ects on your health, including weight gain, insulin resistance and an increased risk of accidents,” says Dr Mayhew.

Encouraged by the � nding that 60 per cent of Kiwis believe they are focusing more on their health now than they did a year ago, Sovereign has launched a new campaign inspiring New Zealanders to take charge of their health and understand the four essentials of a healthy lifestyle: exercise, eating well, sleep and happiness.

Sovereign CEO Symon Brewis-Weston explains the ‘Life. Take charge’ campaign is not aimed at telling Kiwis how to be healthier, it is about giving them tools to do it.

“We have decided it’s time to break the insurance industry mould and begin a movement that encourages Kiwis to take control of their health proactively before they need our help � xing them. Over the coming months, we’ll literally be giving New Zealanders tools that will help them have a

FOODChicken cacciatoreCacciatore means ‘hunter’ in Ital-ian and in cuisine, the word refers to a meal prepared ‘hunter-style’ with tomatoes, onions, mush-rooms and herbs.

Ingredients8 Chicken pieces, skin on and bone in2 Tbsp Olive oil1 Onion, large, finely chopped1 Celery stalk, finely sliced1 Carrot, peeled and chopped4 Garlic cloves, crushed250g Button mushrooms, halved800g Canned tomatoes½ cup Kalamata olives½ cup White wine1 Bay leaf

1 Tbsp Rosemary, chopped¼ cup Parsley, chopped

DirectionsRub chicken pieces (with skin and bone attached) with salt and pep-per. Heat oil in a large frying pan, brown chicken in batches and then set aside. Reduce heat, then add the onion, celery, chopped carrot, crushed garlic and halved mushrooms to the frying pan. Cook until tender. Increase heat and add the toma-toes, olives, wine and herbs, then put chicken back in the pan. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check flavours and add salt and pepper as needed.

Strawberry shortcakeServes 6 A delicate shortcake sandwiched with a little jam, whipped cream and plenty of strawberries is delish. Make sure you use butter both for flavour and to guarantee the right “short” texture.

Ingredients2 cups Self raising flour2 Tbsp Caster sugar½ tsp Salt4 Tbsp Butter, softened¼ cup Cream, plus 1 cup extra, whipped for serving1 jar Strawberry jam, good quality2 punnets Strawberries2 Tbsp Icing sugar, sifted, to decorate

DirectionsPreheat oven to 180 deg C. Sift the flour, sugar and salt together.

Cut the butter into small cubes then add to the flour mixture. With your fingertips rub butter into the mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs. Pour in the first amount of cream and mix gently with your hands until a soft dough forms. Rest for 5 minutes. On a floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of 1cm. Cut

into 6cm rounds and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Gather the offcuts and repeat. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly then split. Spread the bottom with a little strawberry jam. Stack with sliced strawberries then whipped cream and top with the shortcake. Dust liberally with icing sugar and serve immediately.

Simple strawberry mille-feuilleServes 6

Ingredients3 sheets Butter puff pastry, 30cm x 12cm300ml Whipped cream1 punnet Strawberries½ cup Strawberry jam85 g Redcurrant jelly

DirectionsIf using a block of puff pastry, roll it out to size, place on baking

sheets and allow to rest for 30 minutes. (If the pastry is pre-rolled, omit this step.) Prick the surface all over with a fork. Preheat the oven to 200C. Bake the pastry until golden and crisp – around 15 minutes. Set aside. Whip the cream until lightly stiff. Hull the strawberries then slice the fruit in half. Gently heat the redcurrant jelly in a small saucepan until the jelly melts. To assemble the mille-feuille, take a sharp knife and trim the edges off the pastry sheets to make them sharp. Place the first

sheet on a serving platter. Spread with several tablespoonfuls of jam, then top with half the cream. Spread the second sheet with more jam, then place gently on top of the first sheet. Spread with the remaining cream and top with the last pastry sheet. Decorate the top with halved strawberries, then use a pastry brush to paint redcurrant glaze over the straw-berries. It doesn’t matter if a little drizzles down. To serve, cut into slices with a sharp knife.

Monday october 27 2014WESTERN NEWS 17T he management team at Onyx Homes are arguablyunrivaled in the home building sector. With years of

experience and having previously built one of NZ’s largestnationwide building companies, at which time had won moreMaster Build Awards than any other company in the country,home building has become second nature.

Richard Freeman director of Onyx Homes says “people needto be very careful and it’s a real concern with a lot of these new“so called” building companies entering the marketwith management at the helm with no clue on how abuilding company actually runs. We are seeing plumbersand electricians starting up building companies here in

Christchurch to get a foot in the door. People should alwaysgo with a Registered Master Builder to ensure they are ingood hands and their asset is well protected”.

With the client and their best intentions at the forefront oftheir company philosophy and a driven passion to get itright every-time has been the success of Onyx Homes.

From concept design through to handing you the keys of yournew home we guarantee you only the best experience.

Our sole goal is to deliver a superior product on time withthe best price that sets the benchmark for the buildingindustry, and continue to raise the bar.

MONEY

Buying a house is a lengthy, stressful process.

Just when you think it is all over, and before funds are released to your solici-tor, your lender will ask how you want to structure your mortgage.

You will probably have had little time to consider this and yet the structure of your mortgage can have significant implications.

Mortgages vary in terms of how repayments are made and how the interest rate is set.

There are three basic types:•Table mortgage – This is the most common type of mortgage, on which you repay both the principal and interest over a fixed period.

You can have a floating interest rate or fix your interest rate for a period of time, giving you certainty of

what your repayments are.Fixing can lead to penal-

ties if you repay your mort-gage earlier by increasing your repayments or paying lump sums.•Interest only mortgage– With this type of mort-gage, you pay back only the interest for a fixed period of time. This is useful if your mortgage repayments are very high, if you have a loss

of income, or if buying an investment property.•Line of credit, or revolv-ing credit – This type of loan works a bit like an overdraft. You are required to pay the interest owing on the balance of the loan each month. The interest rate is floating. You can reduce the amount of interest you pay by keeping your savings in your line of credit. You can divide your mortgage into two or three different amounts with a mixture of types of mortgage and with table mortgages fixed for different periods.

Your bank or mortgage broker can help advise you on the best structure, but don’t leave it until the last minute!

It’s simply amatter ofstretching your targets

RussellBellBUSINESS ZEN

IT’STHEMIDDLE of Juneand 50 per cent of the yearis already almost behindus. Time flies when you are

having fun and, for many of us,that’s what this time of year isabout—with the ski seasonalmost here and others lookingfor winter escapes.It’s also a good time to look

ahead and plan for futuresuccess. Strategic planning isan essential component ofsuccessful business and I havetwo plans— one formyself andone for the business— both areintertwined.Formany of us, our

businesses are a reflection ofourselves, so it makes sensethat whenwe plan for ourbusiness(es), they reflect ourown goals and ambitions.So, what are you going to

achieve for the remainder ofthis year?What are yourtargets? Are you going to letlife happen or take astructured approach?It’s important that you set

goals for yourself and yourbusiness that energise,motivate, aremeasurable andattainable. However, you

shouldmake sure that you alsoset some stretch targets.My personal plan includes

revampingmy fitness and hasmany stretches . . . and stretchtargets! I have resolved toexercise at least three times aweek. I did start this columnwith the ‘‘time flies’’ statement,but it seems that in that fitnesstime, I can create an ability toslow time significantly or stopit entirely.So I am going to dust off the

previously unused stepmachine at home. And I will seta goal of ‘‘stepping’’ aparticular distance each day.Given that the garage isn’twarm, there is incentive to getmotivated.The stretch target is to

make this activity daily. OK,not much of a stretch, but rightnow I am about as fit as a BigMac is nutritious.

The key to stretch targets isthat they do just that; theystretch you to new levels ofperformance and, likemuscleswhen you exercise, you andyour business develop newstrengths as you achieve them.I know it won’t be easy—

particularly starting fromscratch— but I want to beexercising every day if I can. Sowhat do you dowhen thingsget toughwhen pursuing agoal? Instead of giving up, youget energised. And although itis a stretch, I believe it isattainable.Oncemy fitness returns, it

will be a goal achieved, and Iwill have developedmoreconfidence andwill feel bettertoo.It’s the same for goal setting

and strategic planning— setyour targets so you knowwhere you are going andinclude some stretch targets.The benefits to you and yourbusiness will be exponential.■ If you would like helpimplementing stretch targetsinto your strategic plan, giveZenith Solutions a call on 3479997.

Get goodadvice beforeinvesting overseas

It is not uncommon for NewZealanders to have overseasinvestments.Examplesmight be shares in

foreign companies, foreign unittrust investments, foreignsuperannuation schemes andforeign life insurance policies.There are some pitfalls in leaving

these investments overseas.If your overseas investments

have a value greater than $50,000,they could well be liable for tax inNew Zealand. This is called aForeign Investment Fund (FIF) tax.There are a number of options youcan choose from as to to calculate itand youwill need help from anaccountant or financial adviser.Certain overseas investments,

particularly Australian ones, areexempt from FIF tax.Under current NZ law, an

overseas adviser who providesinvestment advice to a NZ residentmust be an Authorised FinancialAdviser (AFA) as determined in theFinancial Advisers Act.Australian advisersmay in some

circumstances be exempt from this

requirement. Exemptions also applyto wholesale investors, for examplethose whose investment assets are$1million ormore.If, for example, you have a share

portfolio of around £200,000 in theUK onwhich personalisedinvestment advice is provided by abroker, the broker will be in breachof the Financial Advisers Act if he orshe is not registered as an AFA inNZ. Youwill not have the protectionof the code of conduct, disclosurerequire-ments anddisputeresolutionschemesthat aremandatoryfor AFAs.Finally,

having assets in currenciesother than the New Zealand dollarwill expose you to exchange raterisk.Obtaining advice from aNew

Zealand accountant or financialadviser on the implications ofleaving investment assets overseasis highly recommended.

GREAT OUTCOMESand further study pathways

I want a qualification that is most likely to get me a job...

[Edition datE]2

Being a recent school leaver, I decided I wanted to take my dream career further and looked into study options for Early Childhood. I had attended

a food safety course that my workplace had put me through which was held at the Aoraki Polytechnic, and I loved the environment! I found a course that took my interest that had a mid-year start. I enrolled and completed the Certificate in Parenting and Care of Children, and then went on to further my studies by enrolling in the Certificate in Early Childhood Studies.

My studies are so relevant to the Early Childhood industry, covering everything from having the ability to communicate effectively with children, having knowledge and skills in an Early Childhood sector, u n d e r s t a n d i n g

Three points to ponder Clever writers can earn substantial fees.Translating English into other languages

This year marks the 70th year that Risingholme Community Centre has been operating as a community centre, and the 150th anniversary of the

Risingholme Homestead in Opawa.William Pember Reeves. After the death of William Reeves in 1891, the house had several further private owners until 1943, when it was purchased and presented to the City of Christchurch by J R McKenzie for the “health, amusement and instruction of the public”.

After a public meeting in St Mark’s schoolroom, Opawa, on February 24, 1944, the Risingholme Community Centre Incorporated Society was formed. Dr H E Hansen, the chairman of the committee who set up at this historic meeting, had been a leader in adult education for many years and under his guidance, the committee established its first activities: a nursery play centre, a room for the Plunket Society, drama, play reading and study/discussion groups.

Within six months, the first director W Ross Edwards, was appointed and by July 1945, an energetic programme was in place, including a Young People’s Club, woodwork classes and bridge and garden groups.

The temporary facility to serve the local community in Opawa.

The Homestead

The people who write advertising slogans are clever with words. They can make a simple frozen chicken hugely appealing.

A clever wordsmith named Ed McCabe was paid a substantial fee to write these 10 words, “It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken”.

This slogan for Perdue Chickens helped sell 15 million frozen chickens through American supermarkets in one year. Yes, the chickens were top quality meat.

But the Perdue export department got it wrong. They translated the slogan into Spanish as, “It takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate”.

Hispanic and Mexican cooks were not amused.

By 1946, the committee had decided to build a hall so that the centre could accommodate more activities and so began a succession of fairs, fetes and other fundraising activities that finally led to the construction of the hall/theatre and later the craft rooms at the back of the park.

Year 1947 saw both the completion of the hall and the arrival of Dorothy Crumpton as the new director, and these two factors led to an increased level of activity at Risingholme. Drama was a focus, two choirs were started, films were shown and classes which had begun under the auspices of both the Christchurch Technical College and the WEA expanded.

By 1954 the craft rooms were completed to accommodate the growing number of craft classes, such as woodwork and pottery - it was also, sadly, the year that Dorothy died after a period of declining health.

It was then that Jeanne Edgar became director and this began a long and stable period for the centre as Jeanne maintained and gradually built on the activities already in place until her retirement in 1983.

Jeanne Edgar was succeeded by Raewyn Cooke, who brought many positive changes to the way Risingholme operates. Through the energy and vision of Raewyn, the centre became independent in 2004. In April 2007, Raewyn Cooke was succeeded by Maryke Fordyce as director.

The community education programme

has continued to flourish, now working collaboratively with a number of schools and community groups. Risingholme is also host to a variety of independent community groups and activities.

As a result of the recent earthquakes in Canterbury, the Homestead and hall were damaged and is currently in the City Council’s Facilities Repair programme, with no known date for repairs to start. The centre is seen as a priority and funding was committed to repair the buildings by the Council, according to the Mayor’s news release on September 4.

The centre was also successful in acquiring a grant from the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust to erect a temporary facility to serve the local community in Opawa. This lovely facility is now completed and already hosting a range of classes and will be officially opened on October 23.

Stunning food coupled with a chance to shop makes a visit to Urban Corner Cafe simply irresistible.

The cafe now has an assortment of trendy trinkets and modern decor home wares on display that are well worth a browse. From chunky fashion jewellery through to contemporary iron wall art, there’s bound to be that perfect something for someone special.

“Our gift selection is similar to what you’ll find in specialist gift shops in the malls, but at a fraction of the price,” said Katrina Hargen, co-owner.

Since opening in March, North New Brighton’s The Bower / Urban Corner Cafe Restaurant complex has received rave reviews for it’s innovative modern cuisine and industrial chic design.

The interior is stunning, and really must be seen to be appreciated.

The left side of the structure houses The Bower... a lovely modern styled bar decked out with booth and leaner seating, a gaming room, and fabulous sun drenched sheltered outdoor area. The bar offers a wide range of regular entertainment including live music and live sports coverage.

To the right side of the structure is The Urban Corner Cafe Restaurant.

Urban Corner has a wide attraction. Opening from 9am it offers a great array of gourmet cabinet food available to eat in or takeaway and great espresso, as well as a la carte lunch and dinner menus. It’s decor is tastefully bright and breezy, and the dining area opens out to an al fresco dining deck that steps down to two safe and secure kiddies play area.

At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Paulo. Formerly of Michaels Restaurant, his cuisine reflects fine dining. Making the most of new season produce, Chef Paulo has just launched a fresh new menu that is modestly priced considering the high quality ingredients used and outstanding presentation of dishes.

Also launched is a separate $20 menu that is available daily in The Bower bar.

Constructed from shipping containers, a common response from new patrons is that the exterior does not do justice to the wealth of treasure within.
