PIONEER STADIUM 

NEIGHBOURS AT WAR 

76-year-old 

woman in court, 

cars damaged 

• By Andrew King 

A BITTER 10-month 

neighbourhood dispute has led 

to an elderly woman facing the 

courts. 

The 76-year-old was found 

guilty in the district court on 

Friday of wilful damage. It 

related to damage caused to a 

neighbour’s vehicles. She was 

discharged without conviction 

in the judge-alone hearing and 

ordered to pay reparation to her 

neighbour. 

Police hoped the court appearance 

would finally end the 

dispute in upmarket Memorial 

Ave, Burnside. But already the 

signs are there – literally – that 

the dispute is not over. 

After her court appearance, 

the neighbour whose vehicles 

were damaged put up a ‘Guilty’ 

sign which faces the woman’s 

property. 

The elderly woman refused to 

talk to The Star this week. Her 

neighbour said he and his family 

just wanted to move on. 

“We have been through hell 

with this woman and we would

just like it to stop,” he said. 

When asked why he had put up 

the guilty sign, he told The Star 

he was unhappy she had been 

discharged without conviction. 

The sign would remind her she 

was guilty, he said. 

The dispute which erupted in 

September happened after his 

daughter was seen playing on the 

shared driveway, he said. 

“She believes that she owns the 

driveway, but it’s a shared one,” 

the neighbour said. 

It led both parties to set up 

surveillance cameras aimed at 

each other’s properties and tit 

for tat allegations to the police of 

harassment. 

That included the 76-year-old 

alleging dog poo was thrown 

onto her property and water deliberately 

flooding her garden. 

The man said water from his 

sprinkler had gone onto the 

woman’s property but he denied 

dog poo had been thrown. 

Police became involved when 

the woman and her neighbour 

laid separate complaints about 

each other. 

Police tried to broker a truce 

but the complaints continued. 

The feud escalated in October 

when the neighbour found two 

cars on his property had been 

damaged. 

He reported it to the police but 

was told it was his word against 

hers.

TESTY OLD times in Memorial 

Ave our front page article 

reveals today. 

It’s a neighbours at war situation, 

and one which should 

never have got as far as it has. 

It defies logic that a 76-yearold 

should end up in court over 

a bitter dispute involving a 

shared driveway. 

There’s nothing new about 

rows over shared driveways 

but this one has got way out of 

hand. 

The police are fairly patient 

people, particularly when it 

comes to the elderly, so for them 

to take it to court underpins 

how serious this one is. 

And probably making matters 

worse is the other party in the 

equation – the neighbour who 

had his vehicles damaged – has 

in the last few days rubbed salt 

into a festering wound. 

He’s put up a Guilty sign after 

the court hearing which faces 

the elderly woman’s property. 

Not a smart move. 

On another note, we have 

extensive coverage of the Lions 

visit. Go the Crusaders.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw a fire in Colombo St destroy buildings 

between Hereford and Cashel Sts on June 4, 1864. On the same 

day in 1866 the refurbished Royal Princess Theatre re-opened 

as the first Theatre Royal. On June 6, 1905, the first electric 

trams began operation. Unique in Australasia, they had front 

fenders as a safety feature because of the density of cycle traffic 

in Christchurch. On June 7, 1877, the Canterbury College 

(University) building was opened. Designed by B. W. Mountfort, 

the building is now part of the Arts Centre. On June 8, 1966, the 

Wahine, described as the largest vehicular ferry in the world, 

began sailing on the Lyttelton-Wellington run. On June 9, 1869, 

an earthquake damaged many buildings including the town 

hall. On June 9, 1917, the Sign of the Kiwi (right) was opened. 

On June 10, 1868, William Wilson was elected the first mayor of 

Christchurch.

Tane the lion tamer 

• By Gordon Findlater 

IT’S BEEN a toy for his 

children, grandchildren and 

now it lives in his bar – but the 

Lions official mascot from their 

1977 tour wasn’t gifted to Tane 

Norton. 

It was stolen from under the 

tourist’s noses, but not that Norton 

knew that at the time. 

Norton was in Auckland just 

after captaining the All Blacks 

to their series win over the 

Lions in 1977. He was invited 

by former All Black Pat Walsh 

to speak at a dinner at his rugby 

club. 

“I went along and on the table 

there was a cardboard tube and 

inside it was the lion and on the 

outside it said: ‘To Tane from 

Phil’,” said Norton. 

By Phil, it meant Phil Bennett, 

captain of the 77 Lions team. 

Norton was due to fly to South 

Africa the next day to take part 

in a World XV match. After instructing 

Walsh that he couldn’t 

take the lion, it was sent to his 

address in Christchurch. 

“When I got back it was on the 

front doorstep,” said Norton. 

He then received a phone 

call from police a few days later 

asking if he was in possession of 

the lion. 

“He said: ‘I’ve got a file here 

on that lion, it’s about a foot 

deep and the last name on it is 

yours’,” said Norton 

“I got on the bus with the lion 

•From page 1 

“They (police) told me to get 

some (surveillance) cameras,” he 

said. 

More cars were later damaged. 

Footage from the surveillance 

camera led police to investigate and 

then charge the 76-year-old late last 

year. 

Senior Sergeant Stephan McDaniel 

said because police had evidence

captain Tane Norton with

and went down to the police 

station. I put it up on the table 

and they poked it and turned it. 

They weren’t overly friendly to 

me at this stage.” 

“They said: ‘This is very similar 

to the lion but what we’ll do 

is write to England and say if 

anyone wants to come out and 

identify it then you will return it’.” 

The only person that ever 

came to see the lion was former 

of the damage, charges were laid. 

“This was a bit of a tit for tat 

between neighbours that resulted 

in damage, which we had evidence 

on,” he said. 

He said in the majority of 

neighbour disputes police decide 

if it is the public’s interest to spend 

time mediating between the two 

parties or leave them to work it out 

themselves. 

Ireland and Lions lock Willie 

John McBride. 

“He came for a cup of tea 

at my place some years later. 

I brought the lion out and he 

swore in some Irish pogue,” said 

Norton. 

“He said: ‘You deserve it, you 

keep it’. I did feel a bit better 

after that.” 

It’s believed the lion first came 

into Kiwi hands during the 

Lions game against Counties 

Manukau in Pukekohe when it 

was stolen from the team bus. 

The lion now has a permanent 

home at Bailies Bar in Edgeware, 

where it attracts a bit of 

attention. 

“He’s had more photos taken 

of himself than I have of me,” 

said Norton.

In Brief 

ARSON ATTACKS STOP 

Arson attacks in Burnside and 

Ilam have stopped over the past 

few weeks after police increased 

patrols around the area. Over a 

number of weeks, there had been 

a series of deliberately lit fires 

in the area, with wheelie bins, a 

car, and for sale sign set alight. 

Some of the blazes scorched the 

exterior of occupied homes. Senior 

Sergeant Stephan McDaniel 

said in response to the fires that 

police have increased patrols in 

the area in an effort to catch the 

person lighting them. 

AIRPORT CHAIRMAN QUITS 

After nine years, David Mackenzie 

will step down as chairman 

of Christchurch International 

Airport Ltd in October. Current 

director and risk, audit and 

finance committee chairwoman, 

Catherine Drayton, will take 

over the role. 

CANTERBURY ROSE OFF 

TO NATIONAL FINAL 

Canterbury Rose of Tralee Olivia 

Hughes will head to Wellington 

this weekend to compete for the 

national title. If successful, she 

will compete on the world stage 

in Ireland in August. The personal 

trainer was named Canterbury 

Rose of Tralee in April. The 

pageant is judged on personality, 

social awareness, accomplishments 

and “x-factor”. 

STATION FENCE FUNDING 

A controversial ratepayer-funded 

fence on Flock Hill Station has 

got the green light. The Selwyn 

Waihora Zone Committee will 

allocate $26,571 to section off a 

part of Cave Stream and 35ha of 

wetlands at the station. The committee 

initially approved $44,236 

for the project in March, but has 

since reviewed its decision. The 

funding was reduced after the 

station’s owners decided they 

wanted funding for stage one 

and two but not stage three. A 

final decision on the funding was 

held off at the committee’s May 

meeting because more research 

was needed.

Lions Tour 

Bars and restaurants 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

RESTAURANTS and bars 

are set to be packed on 

Saturday with fans who 

missed out on tickets to the 

sell-out Lions v Crusaders 

match. 

It was the first regional 

match in the Lions tour to 

sell out, with seats gone by 

February. 

But a giant Fanzone 

screen on Poplar St is set to 

broadcast the match, in an 

effort to draw fans in to the 

central city. 

Dux Central manager 

Julian Sinke said he was 

expecting big numbers, 

especially as the Fanzone 

screen was set to be visible 

from the balcony. 

The tour came at a good 

time for businesses, as winter 

closed in, he said. 

“It’s a fact that when the 

weather gets colder people 

drink less beer, so people 

just need that extra incentive 

to get out,” he said. 

He said a mulled wine 

festival was planned there 

this weekend. He hoped 

the warm drinks would be 

a drawcard on a cold night. 

Tower Junction Speight’s 

JUBILATION: Bars in the city are expected to be 

busy with Lions supporters this weekend. 

Ale House owner Bill 

Haig said he already had 

a lot of bookings, and was 

expecting the place to be 

packed. 

But he was expecting 

mostly locals, rather than 

large numbers of tourists, 

so although it would be a 

busy night on Saturday, 

he expected the rest of the 

weekend would be fairly 

normal. 

“The tourists aren’t 

going to be here as much, 

because they can get a van 

and tour around in the 

North Island. They can’t 

do that very easily here,” 

he said. 

With no test matches in 

the South Island, many of 

the visiting overseas fans 

are expected to skip the 

Christchurch and Dunedin 

matches completely. 

Hospitality NZ Canterbury 

branch president 

Peter Morrison said he was 

disappointed Christchurch 

had missed out on a test 

match, and extra visitor 

spending with it. 

“Until we have the new 

stadium we’ll keep missing 

out,” he said. 

But fully-booked motels 

around the stadium suggest 

some fans have made 

the trip.

Fans welcomed for free 

While this would usually be a 

quiet time of year, this weekend 

most accommodation in Addington 

is either booked up or almost 

full. 

Andy Pu of Addington Court 

Motel said it was fully booked 

by mid-May – although as most 

people booked online, he could 

not say if they were international 

fans or from elsewhere in New 

Zealand. 

Carol Grainger, general manager 

of the 2 on Whiteleigh and 

239 On Lincoln motels, said all 

32 rooms were fully booked by 

Friday. 

She said many were there for 

the Lions tour – with bookings 

from Great Britain, from Ireland 

and from Australia, and Kiwis 

travelling the length of the country, 

including from Auckland and 

from Southland. 

She said the motel only newly 

opened in February, so the bookings 

were a great boost coming 

into the quiet winter period. 

“We missed out on the peak 

of the summer season, so this is 

great for us,” she said. 

The Lions team is set to stay at 

the Rydges Latimer, and fans on 

the official tour at the Novotel 

Christchurch, but managers at 

both hotels would not discuss 

numbers staying, for commercial

reasons. 

NZ Rugby spokesman Ian 

Long said some overseas fans 

booked tickets through official 

tour groups, but others booked 

through local friends – so it was 

impossible to say how many 

international guests would be 

visiting. 

“It’s fair to say the numbers of 

Lions fans is certainly growing, 

but it’s really not possible to put 

numbers on it,” he said. 

•The match is set to be 

broadcast free at the Poplar 

St Fanzone from 7.30pm, with 

food trucks and children’s 

activities running from 5pm 

to 10pm. 


LANCE AND Pam McKechie 

plan to host at least seven Lions 

fans in their home over the next 

month – and they’re doing it for 

free. 

The Halswell couple join hundreds 

of others around the country 

who have offered to “Adopt a 

Lions Fan” during the tour. 

Mrs McKechie said she offered 

because she wanted “to pay it 

forward.’’ 

She heard discussions on the 

radio about the cost of accommodation 

skyrocketing in Auckland 

during the tour, with some 

fans struggling to find a room. 

Last year the couple went on 

holiday to Scotland, and she said 

people there were so hospitable, 

she wanted to return the favour. 

“Twice we were billeted with 

families there, and it was so nice 

to stay with the locals, to be able 

to get the real experience rather 

than staying in hotels,” she said. 

She said they had three spare 

bedrooms as their children had 

all left home, so she posted on 

the “Adopt a Lions Fan” Facebook 

page to offer the beds. 

Within a few days she had a response 

from an Irish fan hoping 

to stay, then an Englishman, and 

then a group of five fans hoping

for beds. 

Their first guest is set to arrive 

today. 

While she would ordinarily 

feel a bit nervous about having 

so many strangers to stay, she 

decided she could make it work. 

“You just look at them like 

overseas friends you haven’t met 

yet,” she said. 

“These guys might not have 

come down to Christchurch if 

they were having to find hotels 

everywhere, so I hope it will really 

help.” 

She said the two were loyal 

kiwis and would be cheering for 

the Crusaders this weekend - but 

didn’t see the rivalry with the 

Lions fans being a problem. 

“We expect to win,” she said. 

She said the visitors had come 

with unexpected perks. 

One had a spare ticket to the 

sold out Crusaders match and 

had offered it to Mr McKechie, 

who would not otherwise have 

been able to go.

Lions Tour 

Match against Crusaders rekindles 

As the Crusaders prepare 

to take on the British and 

Irish Lions on Saturday 

night Gordon Findlater 

looks back on the 1971 

Battle of Lancaster 

Park. The Lions beat 

Canterbury 14-3, but the 

game is remembered 

more for its action away 

from the ball 

ANY TIME the Lions and 

Christchurch are mentioned in 

the same sentence, rugby purists 

will immediately think of the 

1971 match against Canterbury. 

Not generally for the rugby, 

but the biff. 

The seeds for 

that violent encounter 

had been 

sown in the two 

previous Lions 

tours, when Canterbury 

upset the 

Fergie 

McCormick 

tourists 20-14 in 

1959, and narrowly 

lost 8-6 in 

a bruising match in 1966. 

Canterbury’s Fergie McCormick, 

who played in all three 

matches, said the toughness of 

those games led to the violent

encounter in 1971. 

“They were a very strong Lions 

team in 59, we had a pretty 

strong Canterbury team though 

with a lot of All Blacks including 

Tiny Hill who captained that 

team. We virtually had an All 

Black side,” said McCormick. 

In the United Kingdom the 71 

game was seen as a premeditated 

assault to slow the Lions down 

ahead of the test series against 

the All Blacks. In 2007 the game 

ranked sixth in a ‘top 50 imperfect

memories of 71’s brutal encounter 

Carmichael soon became 

the poster child of the violent 

encounter. Images of his bruised 

eyes creating headlines back 

home. 

“He had a black eye and a bent 

nose. They got the cameras right 

up to his face to get a good shot 

and they’re still whinging about 

it, but they started it,” said Mc- 

Cormick 

The injury that ended 

McLoughlin’s campaign was 

more his own doing, testing his 

hand against one of the toughest 

heads in the game. 

“He hit Alex Wyllie and cut 

his cheek bone open, that’s how 

he broke his thumb,” said Mc- 

Cormick. 

Although Canterbury had 

managed to wound the rampant 

Lions it didn’t slow them down 

and the tourists went onto 

record their only test series win 

over the All Blacks. 

“They were strong. The players 

they had went on to become 

icons of the game,” said Norton. 

The Canterbury hooker was 

part of the series defeat but was 

lucky enough to captain the All 

Blacks side that defeated the 

Lions 3-1 in 1977. 

As for the rivalry created on 

that day, he says the opponents 

on that day have since become 

lifelong friends. 

“All those guys we played we’ve 

met since and remained really 

good friends with. Of course we 

still have each other on about that 

game,” said Norton. 

A lot may have changed in 

46 years but rivalries etched 

in blood are never forgotten. 

McCormick and Norton both 

expect to see more of a spectacle 

when it comes to the rugby being 

played on Saturday night, 

and more than anyone they’ll 

be hoping to see the Lions get 

tipped over by the red and 

blacks.

WhAT’S NEW WiTh AThENA 

and Edward Gibbon 

Athena Bathrooms recently introduced 

the Motio Shower to their offering, the most 

exciting addition the New Zealand shower 

market has seen in recent years. With its 

luxurious soft close sliding door and slimline top 

track, the Motio design is one of minimalist style. 

Offering a 1920mm high door set and 8mm 

toughened safety glass door with dual sided 

stainless steel handle, Motio punches above its 

weight in this category. Motio is available in 2 

sided and 3 sided alcove configurations with 

decadent sizes ranging from 1000x1200mm to 

1000x1800mm. The classic bright joinery finish 

with chrome accents would suit any modern 

contemporary bathroom setting. 

The unique easy gliding soft close door can 

be installed for a left hand or right hand opening 

in alcove showers, with options for pairing with 

either a seamless premium quality Senosan flat 

wall lining (with additional glass storage shelves), 

or Motio has been designed for use in fully tiled 

shower installations. 

The ultra-modern square look shower tray 

has been designed by Athena’s NZ product 

development team to deliver a functional yet 

clean modern look. The Lucite sanitary grade 

acrylic tray offers a low profile 65mm step 

in to the shower and features a 40mm high 

aluminium upstand for leak prevention; available 

with a standard back centre waste. The neatly 

designed square chrome Easy Clean waste 

provides a contemporary finishing touch to 

this beautiful shower, which is quite clearly in a 

league of its own.

Further call to lower speed limits 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

A TRANSPORT expert is calling 

for lower speed limits around 

busy shopping centres, schools 

and on winding roads in a bid to 

improve safety. 

It comes after some schools 

made pleas for lower speed limits 

outside their gates as part of the 

city council’s Annual Plan. 

ViaStrada senior traffic engineer 

and transport planner Glen 

Koorey told the infrastructure, 

transport and environment committee 

yesterday the city council 

should consider lowering further 

speed limits across the city. 

That would be in addition to 

the 30km/h limit already implemented 

on some central city 

streets. 

The former Canterbury University 

transport engineering 

senior lecturer said the changes 

would improve motorist, cyclist 

and pedestrian safety. 

“There’s a lot of crashes where 

the likelihood or the severity 

could have been reduced greatly 

if you got the speeds down. We 

know from the evidence that you 

drop the speeds from 50km/h to 

40km/h, 40km/h to 30km/h, the 

risk of serious injury or fatality 

goes down dramatically.” 

He said Wellington successfully 

implemented lower speed 

limits of either 30km/h or 

40km/h near suburban shopping 

centres. He wanted the same 

done here. 

Data he collated from 2012-16, 

showed the number of crashes 

involving pedestrians and cyclists 

were higher near suburban 

shopping centres, such as Northlands, 

Westfield Riccarton and 

Bush Inn Shopping Centre. 

Dr Koorey said in Hamilton, 

speed limits in school zones had 

been reduced. He said that could 

be done here. 

St Anne’s Catholic, Te Waka 

Unua and Linwood Avenue 

schools all want the speed 

reduced to 40km/h outside their 

gates during school pick-up and 

drop-off times. 

They made presentations to 

city councillors about it at an 

annual plan hearing last month, 

which came alongside a 1759-signature 

petition. 

Dr Koorey also said narrow, 

windy or unsealed rural roads, 

such as Summit Rd, or those 

around Lyttelton and Akaroa 

harbours, did not need 100km/h

Governors Bay residents have 

been calling for the limit on Dyers 

Pass Rd to be reduced from 

100km/h to 70km/h for years. 

The committee decided to 

receive the information. City 

councillor Aaron Keown said he 

wanted to push for the limit to be 

lowered in Yaldhurst, such as on 

Guys Rd, as a trial.

LOCKER ROOM THEFT 

Canterbury University rugby 

players returned to their locker 

room on Saturday after a hardfought 

win over New Brighton 

to find their wallets, cellphones 

and other personal items, as well 

as the club till, stolen. Club chairman 

Chris Risbridger said it was 

a bit of a dampener after the win 

and police have been notified. 

If anyone has any information, 

phone 363 7400 or Crimestoppers 

on 0800 555 111. 

CAR PARKS MAY BE LOST 

Five parking spaces could be lost 

outside businesses on the corner 

of Holmwood Rd and Rossall St. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board will 

make a decision on the installation 

of a pedestrian island on 

the corner of Holmwood Rd at 

its meeting on Monday. It would 

cause at least five 10 minute 

parking spaces to be removed. 

HERB GARDEN NAME 

The Botanic Gardens’ herbarium 

could be named after a former 

employee who grew the facility’s 

specimen collection. The city 

council’s social and community 

development committee has 

voted to recommend it be named 

the Lawrie Metcalf Herbarium. 

Mr Metcalf began working at the 

gardens in the 1940s.

Jimmy Barnes to spearhead Lincoln rock event 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

AN AUSTRALIAN rock icon 

will set foot onto the Lincoln 

Domain for one of the biggest 

musical festivals in Selwyn next 

year. 

The Selwyn Sounds concert 

is back with Jimmy Barnes to 

headline the rock concert, along 

with an iconic line-up of Australasian 

groups. It will be held 

on March 3. 

Barnes will be joined by The 

Feelers, Mental as Anything, 

Stellar, The Mockers, The Narcs, 

The Lady Killers and The Warratahs. 

Organiser and Lincoln 

resident David Parlane said the 

line-up is sensational and he is 

excited to have secured a class 

act such as Barnes to headline 

the show. 

“We couldn’t do the same as 

what we did this year, we had to 

do something a little different 

and make it bigger and better . . . 

this year has got a little bit more 

of a feel for everybody,” he said. 

It was estimated more than 

7500 packed into Lincoln Domain 

for the inaugural concert 

in March. 

•Tickets for Selwyn 

Sounds will be made 

available on Ticketek on 

July 3 with a limited number 

of early bird tickets. 

Weather, contract stalls road resealing 

STALLED: Downer is still working on the footpath on Durham 

St, but the resealing is on hold. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 


DELAYS IN resealing part of 

Durham St is being partly caused 

by a financial agreement between 

Ōtākaro Ltd and contractor 

Downer. 

The Government agency said 

yesterday Downer will not work 

on the road until the ground 

temperature rises above 

10 deg C, which is unlikely to 

happen before spring. 

An Ōtākaro spokesman said 

there was a risk the seal would 

fail if the road was too cold. 

If Ōtākaro ordered Downer to 

seal the road anyway, in spite of 

the cold weather, Ōtākaro would 

have to bear the cost if the seal 

failed and the road had to be 

resurfaced, he said. 

Under the current arrangement, 

that risk is borne by 

Downer. 

Durham St is being upgraded 

as part of the An Accessible City 

project. 

Work is still being done on the 

footpath, planting and underground 

services along Durham 

St over winter. 

Christchurch Central Business 

Association chairman Brendan 

Chase said the delay was incredibly 

frustrating for business owners 

in the area, as the traffic jams 

and lost parking there could 

drive away customers. 

“It needs to be finished expeditiously,” 

he said. 

Some contractors are still 

resealing roads in other parts of 

the city, even over winter. 

City council planning and delivery 

transport manager Lynette 

Ellis said each contract was assessed 

on a “risk basis” to decide 

if the work could go ahead. 

If the risk was deemed low, 

some work could be undertaken, 

she said. 

“It’s important to note there 

are a number of variables that 

impact this decision-making 

process. It’s not a case of comparing 

individual jobs, because 

the specifications are all different,” 

she said. 

She said the standards were 

set by the NZ Transport Agency. 

According to an explanation 

on the NZTA website, resealing 

was best done in summer, when 

warm temperature and dry air 

helped the new seal stick. 

“If we did the work in winter, 

the cold ground would mean the 

new surface would harden and 

crack, plus the stones in the chip 

seal could pop out if exposed to 

cold weather within four weeks 

of application,” it said.

Hollywood beckons Parker-Hulme killer 

Internationally 

acclaimed crime 

writer Anne Perry 

was once known as 

Juliet Hulme, one 

half of Christchurch’s 

most infamous 

murder duo. She is 

now off to Hollywood 

SHE’S BEST known in 

Christchurch for one of the 

city’s most infamous murders 

– the Parker-Hulme case – the 

teenager who killed her best 

friend’s mother and sparked the 

story for Peter Jackson’s Heavenly 

Creatures. 

But in Britain, Anne Perry, 

who she changed her name to, 

is a multi-million selling crime 

novelist. 

Now, she’s left her Scottish 

Highland idyll and has moved to 

Hollywood in her quest to have 

more of her novels adapted for 

television, Britain’s Daily Mail 

has reported. 

Perry, who has been dubbed 

the “queen of Victorian crime” 

and has sold more than 25 million 

books worldwide. 

“I’ll miss the views and I’ll 

miss my gardens,” said the 

78-year-old, as she reminisces 

about Tyrn Vawr, her four-bedroom 

property on the outskirts 

of the peaceful Easter Ross fishing 

village of Portmahomack in 

the Scottish Highlands. 

“Fortunately, it’s all in my 

mind and in photographs, so I 

can go back any time I want.” 

Perry moved into Tyrn Vawr a 

quarter of a century ago and has 

written most of her books there. 

But in Christchurch she is 

remembered for the shocking 

murder of friend Pauline Parker’s 

mother, Honora Parker, in 1954. 

With Pauline, her school 

friend at Christchurch Girls 

High School, Honora was lured

to the Port Hills near Victoria 

park, where they bashed her 

over the head with a brick in a 

stocking. 

Both girls were jailed for five 

years. They were considered too 

young for the death penalty. 

Hulme disappeared from New 

Zealand after her release. 

In 1994, Peter Jackson 

turned the story into the 

film Heavenly Creatures and 

Kate Winslet played Hulme’s 

character. 

Perry has said of her part in 

the killing that she “made a profoundly 

wrong decision”. 

Having been told that she

would be going to live in South 

Africa, and with Parker’s mother 

standing in the way of the two 

teenagers both moving there, 

she feared Parker would take 

her own life “and it would be my 

fault”. 

Perry told The Daily Mail: “I 

was guilty and it was the right 

place for me to be,” she said of 

the jail sentence. 

Upon release, Perry took various 

jobs and for a time lived in 

the United States, before settling 

in Portmahomack. 

She published her first book 

under the name Anne Perry in 

1979. 

It was The Cater Street Hangman, 

the first in her Inspector 

Pitt series, which two decades 

later was turned into an ITV 

television movie starring Keeley 

Hawes. 

Perry, who has written more 

than 50 novels and who published 

the 32nd Inspector Pitt 

story last year, has done most 

of her work while living at the 

Scottish home, which she is particularly 

attached to because she 

built it herself – practically from 

scratch. 

It is now on sale for offers over 

£440,000 (NZ$790,000). 

Originally, she explains, “it 

was a wreck next door to the 

house I was living in. I heard 

they had got planning permission 

to make it into a shop that 

would mend motor-cycles and 

lawnmowers and I thought: ‘Not 

next to me you don’t’. 

“So I bought it in self-defence 

and then I looked at the ruins 

and thought it would make a 

marvellous house.” 

In the course of her writing 

career in Scotland, Perry spent 

most of her time at work in her 

special study, which has windows 

on three sides. 

The contemporary look of the 

property belies the fact that it has 

been converted from the remains 

of an old barn. 

Built in the shape of an H, the 

property has a spacious kitchen, 

library and sun room, and a 

conservatory that looks out on 

to a courtyard with a pond and 

water feature. 

Upstairs, there are views of the 

Scottish Highlands. 

“You can see five counties,” 

Perry explains: “Caithness, 

Sutherland, Ross, Invernessshire, 

and Moray.” 

The dining room is capable of 

seating 20 people and a pair of 

Italian chandeliers hang from 

the ceiling in the grand hall. 

A keen lover of wildlife, Perry 

has sought to protect the beautiful 

surroundings she has enjoyed 

for future generations by buying 

up a neighbouring 7ha field and 

creating a trust to ensure it isn’t 

built on.

News 

Golden Oldies tsunami to hit city 

In just under a year, 

Christchurch will host 

the largest sporting 

event it has ever seen 

– but this one is more 

about having fun 

than winning. Bridget 

Rutherford reports 

THEY ENJOY social sport and a 

good after-match function. 

And next year, more than 

10,000 Golden Oldies will come 

to Christchurch in the largest 

sporting event the city has ever 

seen. 

The aim? Fun, friendship and 

fraternity. 

The Christchurch Casino 

Golden Oldies Sports Celebration 

will run throughout April at 

different locations in the city. 

But this event, organised by 

sport event management, tour 

and travel company Vintage 

Sport and Leisure, will be different 

to any others in Golden 

Oldies’ history. 

Vintage Sport and Leisure 

chief executive Peter McDermott 

said it was designed especially 

for the city following the September 

4, 2010, and February 22, 

2011, earthquakes. 

“[Canterbury Earthquake 

Recovery Authority] asked if 

we could do something that 

would be a bit different and 

encouraging for people to learn 

that Christchurch, despite its 

problems, was well and truly 

regenerating.” 

Normally, Golden Oldies’ 

tournaments for each sport are 

held in different international 

cities every two years. But come 

April, the event will combine 10 

different sports. 

Lawn bowls, golf, squash, 

football and basketball are new, 

while the traditional rugby, 

cricket, netball, hockey and softball 

will feature as well. 

“We’ve never done 10 sports 

in one place. This is designed 

specially for Christchurch,” Mr 

HAVING FUN: Christchurch’s Jacqui Francis, Jude Tuuta, Debbie Elstob, Paula Goodman and 

Rose Cavanagh went to Hobart last year to compete in Golden Oldies netball. 

McDermott said. 

“We anticipate about 10,000 

participants, of which probably 

75 per cent to 80 per cent will 

come from overseas or outside of 

Christchurch.” 

Hagley Park will be the event 

hub, with rugby, cricket, football 

and netball played there. 

Nunweek Park, Cowles 

Stadium, Mizuno Ballpark and 

Papanui Bowling Club will 

host the other codes, with golf 

being played across Harewood, 

Christchurch, Pegasus and 

Terrace Downs golf clubs. The 

squash venue will be finalised 

soon. 

Mr McDermott said although 

Golden Oldies was open to 

anyone over 35, the bulk of participants 

were between 45-65. 

Most participants were from 

New Zealand and Australia. But 

competitors from Japan, Russia, 

the United States, Canada, England 

and Ireland will make the 

journey as well. 

The oldest rugby player who 

had taken part was 87, while at 

last year’s Golden Oldies World 

Rugby Festival in Cardiff there 

were 10 players aged over 80. 

It’s not just the sport they 

come for. “They’re a very social 

group,” Mr McDermott said. 

“They enjoy their sport and to 

mix and mingle and meet other 

people.” 

The event is expected to bring 

$33 million of direct economic 

benefit to Canterbury. 

“Based on our past history, 

they are big spenders on entertainment, 

food and beverage, 

and retail.” 

Canterbury Chamber of 

Commerce chief executive Peter 

Townsend said the city now had 

the infrastructure to accommodate 

an event of this magnitude. 

“It will have a very positive 

economic impact,” he said. 

“We’re going to have a massive 

influx of people who will be able 

to see first-hand what stage we 

are at recreating our city, and 

how good it’s all starting to look, 

and they will go away and tell 

their friends and family what is 

on offer here. That will be a huge 

stimulus for the city.” 

City councillor Tim Scandrett 

said those attending were generally 

big spenders and it was great 

to be able to showcase postquake 

Christchurch. 

“It’s really important to show 

that we are back up and running.” 

For some participants, Golden 

Oldies isn’t their first taste of 

international competition. 

Previously, it has attracted 

ex-internationals such as Brumbies 

coach and former Wallaby 

Stephen Larkham, former All 

Black prop Greg Somerville and 

West Indies cricketing legend 

Joel Garner. 

But Mr McDermott said that 

didn’t intimidate other competitors. 

In fact, it was quite the 

opposite. 

“They love it.” 

At one event, Larkham played 

10min for every team and 10min 

against so everyone got to play 

with and against him, Mr Mc- 

Dermott said. It was too early to 

say whether there would be any 

familiar faces playing next year. 

But Mr McDermott said Garner 

was likely to attend, although 

he was not expected to take to 

the pitch. 

Although most of the games 

were social, there were still 

heated rivalries. 

“There are rivalries, some 

teams come back frequently. 

The Australian and Kiwis have 

a good, friendly rivalry, but they 

like to have the bragging rights.” 

And sometimes, there is an 

opportunity to win a world 

record. 

At Cardiff’s Golden Oldies 

World Rugby Festival, 

participants broke the Guinness 

World Record for the largest 

scrum. 

Welsh referee Nigel Owens 

officiated the scrum, which was 

made up of 1300 people. 

“We’re looking for ideas 

to do something similar in 

Christchurch,” Mr McDermott 

said. 

He said it would “probably” be 

the first and last time the Golden 

Oldies’ event will be held in this 

format, because it was difficult to 

find a city that could host every 

code. 

But it will be an event to 

remember for many. 

“Some of the friendships 

established 20 years ago are still 

very strong,” he said.

Viewpoint 

Well-deserved Jim 

THERE IS one name 

on this year’s Queen’s 

Birthday Honours 

List that I want to 

especially celebrate. 

And that name is 

James Patrick Anderton. 

Jim’s political exploits and 

achievements on the national 

stage are well known. But it’s 

the local achievements of a man, 

who understands to his very core 

that all politics are local, which 

I want to acknowledge. What 

he saw in his own street and 

throughout his electorate shaped 

his views. 

I was 10-years-old when 

Jim became my local member 

of Parliament. I still vividly 

remember in 1984 watching Jim 

holding a street corner meeting 

outside our Spreydon family 

home. 

There was a buzz about that 

election and I was captivated by 

the idea that it had come to our 

street. I was also pretty stoked 

that someone I had seen on the 

telly was standing outside our 

house. 

Throughout my childhood, I 

watched a man with immense 

courage and conviction stand 

up for the people he represented. 

These were hard times for many 

in south Christchurch, as the 

Addington rail yards closed and 

other jobs disappeared. It was 

these people that Jim stood up 

for. No issue was too small for 

Jim to get involved in. 

When the council came up 

with a plan to cut down the trees 

in our street a group of local 

residents, including my mum, 

called in Jim. He came and met 

with everyone and today those 

trees are still standing. 

When I began volunteering 

on Jim’s campaigns in the 

late 1990s, I met a kind and 

caring man for whom political 

decisions never seemed overly 

tortured. 

He knows what is right and 

what is wrong. From Jim, I 

have learnt many things – 

among them the importance 

of local people and what it is to 

represent your neighbours, the 

need to take a stand and to be 

unwavering in your convictions. 

Well done and thank you Jim 

from all of us.

Canterbury spokeswoman 

Mackenzie Kane had 

given up on ever seeing her 

little dog Baxter again. Yet 

somehow the 10-year-old 

bichon frise was returned 

home after being lost for 

more than a year 

Denise Kerr – My son’s 

[dog]went missing for a few 

hours and we were devastated. I 

can’t imagine what it was like for 

a year. So pleased you have your 

[dog] home. I bet he is too. 

Coral Douglas – How can 

someone keep a dog that doesn’t 

belong to them. Did they not 

think of the family in pain 

missing their beloved family 

member? 

Snuggle Inn Boarding 

Kennels – Another happy 

story. Enjoy having your cute 

boy Baxter home.

Caryll Craig – Look at 

that face. I bet someone else 

thought he was beautiful too and 

‘borrowed’ him for a while. 

The city council said 

they will fix the cracked 

and uneven tiles in Akaroa 

township after pensioner 

Sue Stewart tripped and 

grazed her face 

Dale Bradley-Page – 

Good on you. So pleased your 

injuries weren’t much worse. 

You could have had a nasty 

broken wrist or hip. Councils 

spend too much time making 

reports on what needs doing 

instead of just getting on with 

doing it. 

Maree Clayton – Look 

what’s planted there. Trees! 

They grow their roots, push up 

the pavers, damage footpaths 

and roads. And still the council 

plant them on our footpaths, 

along our streets. Their leaves 

block storm water drainage and 

gutters. 

Kim Mckinley – Good on 

her, everyone needs to get on 

board with this, it’s disgusting in 

any town/city and so dangerous 

for the elderly and mums with 

prams. 

Survey shows our well-being ‘continues to improve’ 

THE REGENERATION process 

often focuses on physical things 

– land, housing, infrastructure 

and facilities – but the health 

and well-being of the people 

of greater Christchurch is even 

more important. 

That’s why the Canterbury 

District Health Board and Ministry 

of Health closely monitor 

our social recovery. A key aspect 

of the monitoring process is 

CDHB’s Canterbury well-being 

survey. 

The survey monitors perceptions 

of recovery and identifies 

trends in the community’s wellbeing. 

I’m pleased to say the latest 

survey, released on Tuesday, 

shows the well-being of greater 

Christchurch residents continues 

to improve. 

As part of my ongoing commitment 

to keeping the community 

as up-to-date as possible, the 

most recent Greater Christchurch 

Dashboard features data 

Nicky Wagner 

from the well-being survey. 

It shows 82 per cent of respondents 

– or more than eight 

out of 10 – rate their quality of 

life positively, unchanged from 

April 2016, but up from 74 per 

cent in September 2012. The proportion 

of people who say their 

quality of life has deteriorated 

also remains unchanged from 

April 2016, at 13 per cent. 

Stress is still a factor in greater 

Christchurch, with 72 per cent 

saying they’ve experienced some 

negative stress in the last 12 

months, but significantly fewer 

are indicating distress and anxiety 

associated with aftershocks, 

or being in a damaged environment/surrounded 

by construction 

work (11 and 10 per cent 

respectively). In the early days 

after the quakes, these figures 

were much higher – 42 and 30 

per cent respectively. 

The data tells us that although 

there are definitely still earthquake-related 

stressors in greater 

Christchurch, the situation is 

improving over time. Fewer 

people are affected by ongoing 

insurance and rebuild issues and 

more people are responding to 

tangible signs of progress. 

Everyone in Greater Christchurch 

has been stretched over the 

last six years – we know that from 

our own experiences and talking 

to friends and family. A survey 

like this provides a bigger, clearer 

picture of our overall experience 

and I think many people will be 

reassured by the results.

PINEAPPLE COCONUT 

MACAROON CAKE 

Directions 

2 Eggs 

¾ cup Caster sugar 

1 Tbsp Coconut oil, in liquid 

form, or coconut butter, cooled 

1 large Lemon, with zest 

1 cup High grade flour 

1 tsp Baking powder 

1 cup Pineapple, heaped and 

diced 

¾ cup Desiccated coconut 

Coconut icing 

1 cup Icing sugar 

¼ cup Coconut milk 

To decorate 

1 handful Fresh pineapple 

wedges 

1 small handful Mint leaves, 

finely shredded 

1 sprinkle Lemon or lime rind 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 190 deg C. 

Line a 17cm round cake tin with 

baking paper. 

Place the eggs and sugar in an 

electric mixer and beat until light 

and fluffy (to the ribbon stage). 

Using a large metal spoon, fold 

in the coconut oil and lemon 

zest. Sift over the flour and baking 

powder and carefully fold in. 

Lastly, using two to three 

movements, fold through the 

diced pineapple and coconut. Do 

not overfold or you will lose all 

the air you have beaten in. 

Pour into the prepared tin 

and place in the oven. Bake for 

25-30 minutes or until a skewer 

inserted in the centre of the cake 

comes out clean. 

Remove from the oven and 

leave to cool for five minutes 

before removing to a wire rack 

to cool. 

To make the icing, combine 

the icing sugar with the coconut 

milk until you have a smooth 

mixture. 

Spread icing over the top 

surface of the cake and allow to 

drizzle down over the edges. 

Decorate the top with pieces of 

fresh pineapple, mint leaves and 

lemon or lime shreds.

ADVICE with 

$80 

PRIZE 

PACK! 

We have a town section and wish to plant an apple and a 

QUESTION plum tree. To have fruit producing over a long time we 

are thinking of planting grafted trees with two varieties 

on each tree. However, we have heard of back to back planting where a tree of 

each variety is planted beside each other in the same hole. This would be 

slightly more expensive. Which system is best? Do Gala and Pacifi c Rose 

apples complement each other or should we plant Gala and Braeburn? What 

about Santa Rosa and Omega plums? 

Today’s winning question came from Wendy Holden. 

Congratulations! 

A double grafted tree is far more preferable 

ANSWER than planting two single trees side by side. 

Competition for root space, nutrients and water 

all work against the second option. 

With apples, the Gala and Braeburn combination will provide an 

extended season of picking ripe fruit. Gala commences ripening in mid 

to late February, while Braeburn (a late apple), ripens in April. Braeburn 

is also an excellent ‘keeper apple’, therefore as your tree matures and 

provides plentiful apples, you can successfully store them for eating until 

early winter. 

The plum combination you have enquired about is perfect as plums have specifi c pollinators. Fortunately, 

Santa Rosa pollenates Omega, and Omega pollenates Santa Rosa. Both are superb eating plums and extend 

the fruiting season with Santa Rosa ripening in January and Omega in February. As plums can grow into very 

large trees, prune them to a height of three to four metres so the fruit is easily accessible and less prone to ‘bird 

raiding’. New season apple and plum trees should arrive in local garden centres in the next few weeks. 

Products to try: Daltons Goldcote Fruit and Citrus Tree Fertiliser, Daltons range of Compost products and 

Daltons Mulch & Grow. 

For more gardening advice, read our How to Grow Fruit Trees Guide at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides 

Roses provide lush fl owers, delicious scents and add charm to any 

garden. June and July are the best months to plant, relocate and prune 

roses (once dormant). When choosing the perfect plant for your garden 

or pots, choose from; Old Fashioned, Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Shrub or 

Climber varieties.

Celery – good things take time 

• By Henri Ham 

LIKE MOST winter vegetables, 

celery takes time to grow and 

mature. 

Maybe it’s cheaper and it’s 

certainly easier to buy from the 

supermarket. But as many of our 

customers know, growing your 

own vegetables is about more 

than that. 

Namely, knowing what’s gone 

on to your food before you eat 

it, and the sense of satisfaction 

and enjoyment from growing it 

yourself. 

To grow great celery, the first 

thing you need to do is prepare 

your soil. Celery likes soil that’s 

well- drained and sweet (and in 

a full sun position), so make sure 

you add lime before planting. 

If you’re equipped to measure 

PH levels, the reading should be 

between five and six. 

Celery also grows best in a 

garden that’s raised and filled with 

potting mix – so if you can make 

this combination happen, you’re 

off to a great start. 

When you’re ready to plant, 

dig a hole approximately 3cm 

deep. Pop in your seedling and 

use compost to create a mound 

around the plant. This blanches 

the base of the stems and keeps 

them tender. 

The good news is you don’t 

have to keep mounding like you 

do with some plants – just keep 

your celery watered and that 

should do the trick. 

Plant each seedling 20 to 25cm 

apart and continue this process in 

rows across your garden. Celery 

grows best this way, making it a 

good companion plant for dwarf 

beans, carrots, spring onions, 

parsley and bok choy. In fact, if 

you have any of these in your garden 

and they’re ready to harvest, 

celery is the perfect replacement 

plant. 

Your plants will develop slowly 

at first, but in about 12 to 14 

weeks, your celery should be 

ready to harvest. 

SUNNY: Plant celery 20 to 25cm apart in rows across your 

garden.

Theatre/Arts 

Neighbourhood unites 

in fear of lunar eclipse 

Empire Drive 

Written and produced by 

Two Productions 

Reviewed by Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

Not knowing your next door 

neighbour from a bar of soap is 

commonly a sad reality in a city. 

Inspired by disconnected 

neighbourhoods, Two Productions 

has created a relevant, 

original show about what 

happens to neighbours when a 

natural disaster strikes. 

Set in a typical residential 

cul-de-sac, Empire Drive is filled 

with every kind of character you 

would expect to see in a street. 

A loved-up, middle-aged couple 

called Mr and Mrs Midas; a 

party-mad flat full of students 

known as the nymphs; and a 

lonely elderly lady named Tiresias 

are some of the colourful 

characters inspired by ancient 

mythology living on the street. 

The story begins with Empire 

Drive residents “travelling” onto 

the stage in an imaginary bus 

with loud music playing in the 

background. 

Although I was not a fan of 

the music, it represented a busy 

Star city lifestyle 129mm and x 90mm the daily 06/10/16 grind 

of work or school. 

Up until the feared lunar 

eclipse occurs, the only time 

the neighbours interact with 

each other was when they were 

putting the rubbish bins out. 

But that all changes when they 

worry they may never see the 

light again and turn to each 

other for support. 

It is difficult to choose a favourite 

performer because there 

were so many characters with 

different stories. But the show’s 

strong message shone through 

about getting to know your 

neighbours during a disaster. 

For a group of people aged 

between 16-22 to create such an 

original show is admirable and 

I think the city needs to support 

new work. Hopefully, next time, 

the company will be able to 

perform for a season longer than 

one night.

Married life on stage 

• By Caitlin Miles 

.kiwi 

THE LYTTELTON Arts Factory 

will hold its opening show of the 

season tomorrow night. 

Let’s Not Argue will be art imitating 

a certain amount of life – 

husband and wife David Ladderman 

and Lizzie Tollemache will 

put their real life relationship on 

display when they play husband 

and wife in the show. 

The original play depicts the 

best, the worst and the funniest 

parts of the everyday interactions 

between husband and wife, including 

the ever-changing gender 

roles and dynamics. 

The 60min show includes 

100 moments, four fights, three 

make-ups and 24 cups of tea. 

Tollemache said out of all of the 

shows the couple has done, and 

roles they’ve played, this was the 

scariest. 

“We have juggled chainsaws 

and been in life-threatening situations 

purely for other people’s 

entertainment, but this is the 

most terrifying thing we have 

ever done; performing as a married 

couple, with my own husband, 

is just so real,” Tollemache 

said. 

It’s not the first time the couple 

has acted together, they played 

together in Dunstan Creek 

Séance and Mr & Mrs Alexander. 

Let’s Not Argue is directed 

by Mike Friend, founder 

of the Lyttelton Arts 

Factory (formerly 

Loons Theatre), 

and choreographed 

by Neil 

Fisher, who is 

internationally 

renowned for 

his work. 

“It is even 

better that 

they have such 

great chemistry 

on stage since 

they are a 

real couple,” 

Friend said. 

Ladderman 

and 

Tollemache 

have been 

together for 

six years and 

married for 

nearly two – the show just misses 

their two-year wedding anniversary. 

Friend said every couple will be 

able to relate to this performance. 

“The show is universal; it aims 

to portray the untold story of 


REAL LIFE: David 

Ladderman and 

Lizzie Tollemache in 

Let’s Not Argue. 

every relationship. 

Anyone will be 

able to see parts 

of their relationship 

on display 

and that’s what 

makes this 

play so great,” 

Friend said.

Travel 

Sample the shops and cuisine of Seoul 

• By Mike Yardley 

WHEN I mentioned to 

my Korean hairdresser in 

Christchurch that I was heading 

to Seoul, his response was hardly 

reaffirming. “Why would you 

want to go there?” 

Sure, Seoul doesn’t enjoy the 

reputational hype of Tokyo, 

Shanghai or Bangkok, but as a 

quick stopover or side-trip, the 

city struck me as immensely 

engaging. 

Arriving into Seoul by fast train 

from Incheon Airport, one of 

the first imposing landmarks to 

stop me in my tracks was Namdaemun, 

the city’s South Gate, 

resplendently restored after being 

bombed during the Korean War. 

The gate forms part of Seoul’s 

old city walls, of which 70 per 

cent are remarkably intact. Over 

600 years old, the 18km circuit 

wraps around the city core and 

threads together the four guardian 

mountains that keep watch 

over Seoul. The city continues 

rebuilding the missing chunks but 

if you’re up for a power-walk, in 

every sense, head to the Bukaksan 

section. 

The highest of the four peaks at 

342m, it stands guard over Korea’s 

seat of power and the summit 

viewpoint overlooks the Blue 

House, Korea’s splendid presidential 

palace. 

There’s a variety of royal palaces 

clustered around the central city 

including Gyeongbokgung, 

Seoul’s premier palace which 

has performed a Phoenix-like 

resurrection, from the cinders 

of destruction. It was from here 

that the Joseon Dynasty ruled 

the roost for 600 years, before the 

Japanese muscled in. 

A highly theatrical changing 

of the guard is performed daily, 

purely as a patriotic fist-pump, 

around the entrance gate of 

Gwanghwamun. The blaze of 

colourfully-costumed regalia is 

loved by the locals as much as 

the selfie-stick toting tourists. 

Gyeongbokgung translates as the 

Palace of Shining Happiness, a 

colossal compound of astounding 

CEREMONY: A highly theatrical changing of the guard is performed daily at the entrance gate of Gwanghwamun. Right – The city’s 

South Gate, restored after it was damaged during the Korean War. 

BINGE-WORTHY: Street eats in the Seoul markets. 

architecture, ornamental gardens 

and vivid history. 

It previously contained 800 

buildings and 200 gates. The Joseon 

kings had several thousand 

servants at their disposal within 

the royal household, including 

500 ladies-in-waiting and 400 

eunuchs. 

Trying to get your head around 

the sheer extravagance of this imperial 

relic is best decoded with a 

good guide. 

I explored the palace as part of 

a city tour with VIP Travel, who 

run a great-value and illuminating 

guided sightseeing service. 

www.vviptravel.com 

Perfectly perched in the heart of 

Seoul’s cultural district, Courtyard 

by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun 

delivers a distinct experience, 

with the carnival colour of 

Namdaemun Market, right across 

the road. 

Just one year old, this engaging 

property still has new-hotel-smell, 

and elegantly furnished with all 

the creature comforts you’d expect 

from an ultra-contemporary 

hotel. Wi-fi is free and lightningfast, 

guestrooms are spacious and 

the city views are electrifying. 

You’ll enjoy 24-hour access to 

the generously equipped fitness 

centre, outstanding concierge services, 

impeccable hospitality and 

all-day dining at Momo Café. 

If you want to push the boat 

out, upgrade to executive lounge 

access, where you can enjoy an 

indulgent and exclusive space 

loaded with privileges, headlined 

by complimentary Happy Hour 

drinks and meal-worthy bites, 

showcasing a wide palette of 

Asian culinary delights. courtyard.marriott.com 

The streets of Seoul are packed 

with culinary delights and a onestop-shop 

for bargain buys and 

great bites is the Namdaemun 

Market, a frenetic night-and-day 

emporium that sprawls for blocks 

and is Korea’s biggest market. 

Whether its clothing, accessories 

or handicrafts, each section 

comprises hundreds of stalls, 

spilling across pedestrianised 

streets. 

The sensory overload is most 

graphically illustrated by the profusion 

of food stalls, sizzling with 

binge-worthy things on sticks and 

in bowls, which will soon challenge 

your stomach space. 

Best bites include odeng, fishcake 

skewers seasoned in springonion 

soup; tteokbokki, spicy rice 

cakes that are revved up with redpepper 

paste; and dakkochi, the 

ubiquitous barbequed chicken on 

skewers in a sticky, tangy sauce. 

They are nearly as pervasive 

as kimchi, Korea’s great staple of 

salted, seasoned and fermented 

vegetables. 

Don’t leave town without trying 

Korean doughnuts, hotteok, spicy 

pancakes stuffed with sunflower 

seeds, peanuts, red beans and 

honey. Namdaemun Market is 

centrally located in Myeongdong, 

which is Seoul’s shopaholic 

mecca. All of the global fashion 

heavyweights are here, alongside 

chic Asian faves and the templelike 

department stores. 

Pop into Mitsukoshi, the Harrods 

of Seoul, and the city’s oldest 

department store with an opulent 

food hall in the basement. My 

local guide told me that 20 pr cent 

of Seoul’s women have facial surgery. 

They binge on cosmetic perfectionism 

and you’ll see a surfeit 

of specimens in Mitsukoshi. 

FAST FACTS 

•I booked my side-trip 

to Seoul from Japan 

through the leading 

global airfare comparison 

platform, Cheapflights. 

Apparently, the popularity 

of Cheapflights has now 

reached the level where its 

website and app booking

KNOWLEDGE AT WORK 

Strong 

demand for 

engineering 

diploma 

graduates 

Employers can’t get enough of Ara Institute of Canterbury’s 

Diploma in Engineering graduates. The problem is, there just 

aren’t enough of them to keep up with demand. 

Dr Michael Edmonds, Head of 

Engineering and Architectural Studies at 

Ara, says places are still available on the 

diploma course starting in July. 

“We’ve had good numbers of enrolments 

so far, but with ongoing demand from 

employers for graduates, we want to make 

sure every place is filled, to help meet this 

demand.” 

Dr Edmonds says many people assume 

you need a degree – which can take three 

years at Ara, or four years at Canterbury or 

Auckland universities - to have a career in 

engineering, but that’s not the case. 

“Graduates of our two-year diploma earn 

an average salary of $60,000 in their first 

five years on the job, and they have great 

opportunities for advancement, both here 

and overseas. You might choose to work in 

a lab or workshop, or you can just as easily 

work in design, management or consulting 

roles with our diploma qualification.” 

The Diploma in Engineering offers 

three specialisations; civil, electrical 

and mechanical. An ability in maths is 

necessary but you don’t need to be a maths 

whizz. Entry requirements include passes 

in algebra and calculus at NCEA Level 2, 

however if you don’t have those, Ara has 

foundation programmes designed to help 

you attain them. 

In a further effort to help meet industry 

demand for engineering graduates, both the 

Diploma in Engineering and the Bachelor 

of Engineering Technology can be studied 

part time at Ara.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

New future-focussed health 

and wellbeing qualification 

Ara Institute of Canterbury’s new 

Certificate in Health and Wellbeing 

will prepare students for the diverse 

environments and roles of the future. 

Human Services Manager Deirdre 

Richardson says that the Level 4 qualification 

will give students a solid foundation for 

employment, professional development, or 

to progress into a degree. 

“Students will learn about the latest factors 

that are driving the constantly-evolving 

health and wellbeing sector, and develop a 

framework of knowledge that they can apply 

to different situations,” she says. 

Enrolments are now open for the one 

year programme, which will commence in 

February 2017 at the Institute’s Christchurch 

and Timaru campuses. Three specialisations 

are available: Social Services, Mental Health 

and Addiction Support, and a Community 

Human Services Manager Deirdre Richardson 

Facilitation specialisation that could lead 

to roles including disability support and 

diversional therapy. 

The new programme was developed after 

extensive consultation with industry and 

has a strong work-integrated learning focus. 

50 credits are linked to a 200-hour practical 

placement in the workforce, overseen by the 

expert tutors at Ara. 

Students from all specialisations will 

complete 70 credits in core courses that will 

prepare them to work with a wide range of 

people, using up-to-the-minute practices. 

Richardson says that the programme 

will also provide students with valuable 

opportunities to learn from others who 

are working in different areas or that 

have personal experience in their chosen 

specialisation. 

“It will encourage students to learn about 

roles outside where they undertake 

their placement, exposing them 

to the broad scope of services and 

practices in the industry.” 

The programme has been 

designed to be as accessible as 

possible for students. It will be held 

during school hours on just two 

days of the week and will follow 

the school calendar year. Part-time 

study options are available and 

Ara has a comprehensive range 

of support services to ensure a 

smooth transition into study.

HOW TO PLAY 

It’s like sudoku: each 

vertical and horizontal 

line has to contain 

the numbers 1-6, and 

the numbers can’t be 

repeated in any row or 

column. 

But it’s sudoku with a 

twist: The numbers in 

each heavily outlined 

set of squares, called 

cages, must produce the 

number in the top corner. 

For example, 5+ means 

the numbers add up to 5, 

9x means the numbers 

multiply to equal 9. 

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the 

same line or row.

Bodene Thompson’s Warriors future in doubt 

• By Michael Burgess 

BODENE Thompson’s days at 

the Warriors could be numbered. 

The Warriors second rower is 

off contract at the end of this season, 

and it appears unlikely that 

he will be at Mt Smart in 2018 

and beyond. 

Negotiations have been ongoing 

between the player’s representatives 

and the club for some 

time, but the NZ Herald understands 

that things are currently 

at a stalemate. 

It doesn’t help Thompson’s case 

that the club have signed Tohu 

Harris and Leivaha Pulu for next 

season, and the new duo are 

likely be the first choice second 

row combination, alongside 

Simon Mannering at lock. 

That would mean Thompson 

would slip down the pecking 

order at the club, while the 

continuing emergence of Bunty 

Afoa and Isaiah Papalii will 

further boost back row stocks at 

Mt Smart. 


.kiwi 

Thompson hasn’t helped his 

cause this season, with a series 

of unconvincing performances, 

including a sub-standard display 

in the Warriors 32-24 loss to the 

Eels in Sydney. Thompson was 

one of the best players at the club 

in the 2015 season – especially 

in the first half of the year – and 

seemed a great recruit. But the 

28-year-old has struggled to 

recapture his form since then. 

He’s been part of a vulnerable 

right edge defensively, with the 

Warriors being torn apart down 

that side in several games this 

season. Sure, Thompson wasn’t 

helped by playing out of position 

in the first three rounds (at 

hooker in round one against the 

Knights and in the centres in 

rounds two and three) but he has 

also struggled to match his output 

from the previous two years. 

He’s averaging only 50 running 

metres a game this season (down 

from 85m in the previous two 

years) and hasn’t had the same 

2017 NRL 


impact with ball in hand. 

“I don’t know my plans for 

next season yet,” Thompson told 

NZ Herald last month. “I will 

handle it week by week and then 

whatever happens, happens. Obviously 

you always want to stay 

at the Warriors but you need to 

take care of business out on the 

field each week first.” 

The Warriors meet the Gold 

Coast Titans on Saturday at 

Cbus Super Stadium in Robina, 

Queensland.

Championship on Saturday. 

Rangiora have been the 

surprise package of this year’s 

competition and currently 

occupy third with just one loss 

to their name. They now travel to 

Nelson to challenge for the cup 

(secondary school’s equivalent 

of the Ranfurly Shield). Nelson 

have held the cup since claiming 

it from Timaru Boys’ High 

School last year. Only four 

Canterbury schools have ever 

held it.

21 CHANCES TO WIN 

OVER 3 DAYS! 

Irish look to sign Crusaders prop 

CRUSADERS PROP Oliver Jager may be lured back 

to Ireland to play for powerhouse club Leinster. 

The 21-year-old arrived from Ireland in 2013 to 

develop his game and earned himself a spot in the 

Crusaders squad this year. 

But reports out of Ireland say Leinster who were 

semi-finalists in both this year’s Pro 12 and European 

Rugby Champions Cup, could be interested in 

signing him. 

“Look, we’ll see,” Jager told the Herald in Ireland. 

“I’m out of contract at the 

end of this season, but we’re working on a new one at 

the moment. Nothing’s been confirmed yet. 

“It’s literally gone day-by-day. Now, it’s going yearby-year 

and, hopefully, the next few years will go 

every two, three years. 

“That’s just the way rugby is. You never really 

know where you’re going to end up.” 

Jager grew up in Dublin and played for Ireland at 

school level, representing his country in the under-18 

European championship. 

He joined the New Brighton club after making the 

move from Ireland, initially playing for the colts and 

then the division one team. 

Last year he made the Canterbury ITM Cup team 

and produced a number of impressive performances 

which earned him a spot in the Crusaders. 

Jager started for the NZ Barbarians in their 7-13 

loss to the Lions in Whangarei on Saturday night, 

where he matched up with England’s Mako Vunipola 

and Ireland captain Rory Best in the front row. 

IRISHMAN: Oliver Jager has impressed in New 

Zealand and is now attracting interest back home. 

Stolen trailer mars home 

rally win for Summerfield 

• By Gordon Findlater 

MATT Summerfield’s 

push to win this year’s 

New Zealand Rally 

Championship has been 

grounded following the 

theft of his car transporter. 

Summerfield, 25, was on 

cloud nine after winning 

his home event, the Canterbury 

Rally on Sunday. 

However, he now needs 

to hope the transporter 

is found before the next 

round of the national 

championship in Coromandel 

in August. 

“I’m pretty gutted. We 

use it to get to all of our 

events,” said Summerfield. 

The transporter was 

stolen from Colenso St, 

Sumner, on Sunday night, 

just hours after one of the 

biggest wins in his career. 

The registration is 1129L. 

It has a single axle with 

new BNT wheels, it has tilt 

ramps and LED lights and 

has a black draw-bar. 

“We’ve had it for nearly 

20 years. Dad (Les) built it 

himself in 1999 to transport 

his car at the time,” 

said Summerfield. 

Since it’s disappearance, 

a Facebook post seeking 

information on the trans-

PRITCHARD 

porter has gained traction 

on social media. As of 

yesterday, the post had been 

shared by over 1500 people. 

“We’ve had a few offers 

to borrow a transporter 

which is really nice and 

people are really spreading 

the word to help track it 

down,” said Summerfield. 

On Sunday Summerfield 

and his sister Nicole (codriver) 

showed all of their 

class to lead home Ben

conditions in Ashley Forest. 

Summerfield currently 

leads the NZRC mid-way 

through the season. After 

retiring from the opening 

round in Otago with a 

broken gearbox just 2km 

into the opening stage he 

has gone onto win the next 

two rounds in Whangarei 

and Canterbury. 

He is already battling 

against the odds, competing 

in a 10-year-old 

Subaru. The majority of the 

front-runners in the championship 

are operating new 

AP4 vehicles. 

The championship has 

three rounds remaining 

in Coromandel, Waitomo 

and Rally New Zealand. 

“Things are on track. 

We finished second in 

Coromandel last year so 

will go in with plenty of 

confidence,” said Summerfield.


Sport 

Concussion continues to hamper Hurricanes season 

CONCUSSION continues to 

bedevil the Hurricanes season. 

Dane Coles remains in a 

frustrating holding pattern, 

unable to train at a high enough 

intensity to be in the clear. 

But assistant coach John 

Plumtree has revealed to the NZ 

Herald that lock Mark Abbott 

was a late scratching from the 

bench for the Force game due to 

concussion symptoms suffered 

after the Bulls game on May 28. 

Hooker Ricky Riccitelli took 

a head knock in the 34-12 win 

in Perth, but has since had no 

symptoms, so should be available 

to face the Chiefs in the capital 

tomorrow. Leni Apisai, fresh 

from a try and 30 effective 

minutes, will be ready to slot into 

the No 2 jersey if necessary. 

Happily, centre Matt Proctor, 

who was in sharp form early 

in the season until he too 

succumbed to concussion 

issues, came through 20 minutes 

unscathed on Monday for the 


.kiwi 

Hurricanes Development side in 

their 52-17 win over Wanganui 

at Cooks Gardens. He will be 

available to make his return 

tomorrow. His major hurdle now 

appears to be the incumbent 

midfield pairing of Ngani 

Laumape and Vince Aso, who 

have chalked up an astonishing 

28 tries between them. 

The Hurricanes hold second 

spot in the New Zealand 

conference, four points clear of 

the Chiefs. 

A victory would not only 

retain their unbeaten home 

record, but just about seal fifth 

place and a more welcome 

quarter-final in Australia. 

Only after that will they allow 

themselves to think about their 

June 27 clash with the Lions. 

Plumtree and head coach 

Chris Boyd, who have their 50th 

game together as a Hurricanes 

coaching combination (for an 

imposing record of 40-9), will be 

wanting their charges to match 


the staunch defensive effort 

in Perth, which has them, by 

two miserly points, as the most 

parsimonious defence in the 

league. 

The Force clash was often 

fractious and one should not 

expect anything different against 

the Chiefs, who will not back 

down from any aggressive 

approach. The Hurricanes will 

need little reminder of the 26-18 

reverse in Hamilton back on 

March 10.

• By Ross Kiddie 

TOYOTA’S Highlander has 

long been regarded as the 

quintessential large sport 

utility vehicle. 

It’s known for its fourwheel-drive 

capability, 

powerful petrol engine, 

seven-seat configuration 

and high levels of refinement. 

All of those attributes 

have been expanded on 

with an all-new model 

landing here early this year. 

The new Highlander has 

lost none of its credibility, it 

has had an engine upgrade 

– power is up 17kW and 

13Nm yet it also gets a 

1.1l/100km fuel usage saving 

– it is now listed from a 

9.1 to 9.5l/100km (31mpg) 

combined cycled average. 

Elsewhere, the 

Highlander reeks of 

sophistication, it is comfortable 

and has a wealth 

of specification, especially 

in Limited form as tested. 

Column space doesn’t 

allow for comprehensive 

detailing, but I can report 

it wants for nothing yet it 

could well be described as a 

value for money model. 

The new Highlander is 

also available in two-wheeldrive 

variations, there are 

three grades with the range 

starting at $63,490 for a 

4WD GX variant, a GXL 

lists at $66,490 and $70,490 

(4WD), while the Limited 

4WD sits at $81,490. 

That’s top price for a 

car in this category, but if 

you want the epitome of 

sophistication it is the SUV 

that sets standards in the 

big sector. 

As mentioned, there’s a 

new engine in Highlander. 

It still gets a variation of 

the old V6 that has served 

Toyota and Lexus well, but 

the new engine has an edge 

over it with higher levels 

of refinement and those 

performance increases. It is 

now rated at 218kW with 

350Nm of torque coming 

in at 4700rpm. Such 

is its smoothness it’s hard 

to fathom with a displacement 

of 3456cc all that 

reciprocating mass could 

be so unflustered. 

It is also a flighty engine 

when required, it sings 

freely through the rev band 

and likes to show off its 

strength. 

Drive is carried through 

an eight-speed automatic 

transmission, once again 

it is a beauty with undetectable 

shifts and a ratio 

structure that promotes 

quick acceleration and 

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER: Large family-friendly SUV. 

relaxed engine operation at 

highway speed. The more 

ratios that are packed into 

a gearbox always provide a 

smoother driving experience, 

and the Highlander’s 

driveline is a beauty, it also 

ushers in quick acceleration, 

with a likely standstill 

to 100km/h time of 8.7sec. 

• Price – Toyota 

Highlander Ltd, 

$81,490 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4890mm; 

width, 1925mm; 

height, 1730mm 

• Configuration – V6, 

four-wheel-drive, 

3456cc, 218kW, 

350Nm, eight-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.7sec 

• Fuel usage – 

8.7l/100km 

Cruising at that speed it 

will sip fuel instantaneously 

at the rate of just 7l/100km 

(40mpg), the engine is 

very lethargic turning over 

slowly at just 1400rpm. I 

spent a lot of time in city 

traffic in the test car, so 

my overall average didn’t 

match Toyota’s, but when I 

took the test car back to the 

dealership it was still showing 

9.6l/100km (29mpg) 

which I didn’t think was 

excessive. 

I took the test car on my 

usual loop west taking in a 

back road from Sheffield to 

Coalgate. It’s a badly rutted 

route, and from the outset 

the Highlander impressed 

with its suspension control 

over the corrugations 

and ability to put power 

to ground. The tyres on 

the test car were a Toyo 

compound (245/55 x 19in) 

and they extracted grip 

well along with providing 

a quiet ride on sealed surfaces. 

The same could be said 

of the entire vehicle, it sits 

on the outer periphery of 

the luxury car market so 

its levels of noise, vibration 

and harshness are extremely 

low. That makes for a 

relaxing highway cruise. 

The steerage and suspension 

combine to prove an 

almost sporty sensation 

from behind the wheel, 

and that takes into account 

that at over two-tonne it 

is heavy wagon, yet it feels 

composed and far from 

bulky when a tricky corner 

presents itself. 

The suspension is a 

complex fully independent 

system, the Highlander isn’t 

quite as rugged underneath 

as its Fortuner stablemate, 

but both are destined for 

different markets, the 

Highlander is a crosscountry 

charger, and is 

certainly not a full off-road 

vehicle. 

That aside, most won’t 

venture far from the seal, 

and that’s why frontwheel-drive 

only models 

are available, but for those 

who do want to take the 

family camping to those 

high country lakes the 

four-wheel-drive variant is 

capable. 

The Highlander has 

space to burn inside, even 

with the rear row of seats 

upright. Toyota claim 

195-litres extending to 

1872-litres with all rear 

rows folded flat. 

Toyota have been served 

well by Highlander, it has 

been a popular model 

here. That doesn’t surprise 

me, it imparts an involving 

driving sensation, one 

of solidity and safety, the 

latter of course, five-star 

Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program rated. 

The new Highlander 

is sourced from Toyota’s 

United States manufacturing 

operation and reeks 

of quality. It is the familyfriendly 

wagon which does 

everything without fuss 

and always pleases with its 

all round performance and 

reliability.

Fix those minor 

defects 

Start out front, cleaning, clearing and decluttering 

the yard to make a good impression on buyers. 

It’s a rare house that doesn’t have 

defects. Even newly renovated ones 

can have features that detract for 

buyers. But there are ways for sellers 

to deflect attention from them without 

pretending they’re not there. The three 

main ways of dealing with defects are: 

1. Fix them. 

2. Draw the eye away from them. 

3. Use them as a selling point. 

Simple defects can be fixed easily. 

Start out front. Overgrown bushes can 

be trimmed, or replaced with a few 

matching plants, old fences and front 

doors can be painted or stained, and 

the paths cleaned. 

Do this even if a property is a do-up. 

You want to give the impression that 

buyers can move into the house and 

chip away at the work in their own 

time. 

If you have time and money, paint 

sills and eaves using accents. 

Inside, the first thing buyers see is 

the hallway, which can be brightened 

up with a lick of paint. The neutral 

paint trick can also be used to paint 

over dated wallpaper, completely 

changing the look and feel of a tired 

house. 

Bathrooms and kitchens are 

important to buyers, and the eye settles 

on vanities and benches. These can be 

resurfaced relatively quickly to give a 

modern look. 

If the seller can’t repaint or tile 

the bathroom bring in high quality 

matching towels, which become a 

feature in the room and draw the eye 

from the less than desirable walls and 

features. Nice vases and flowers will do 

the same. 

Replacing handles and knobs to 

draw attention away from the units 

themselves. This reduces the number 

of “I have to do this” thoughts in 

potential buyers’ minds. 

Drawing the eye away from a 

multitude of sins is exactly the thing 

to do. 

If you see an empty house the eye 

always goes to marks on the carpet 

and walls and this will lower the price 

expectation.” 

Drawing the eye to the furniture and 

furnishings, creates better flow, and de 

cluttering makes buyers feel the home 

would be a nice place to live in. 

The other way to handle the 

property’s defects is to raise them with 

the buyer before they see them. 

If the carpet is bad, for example, 

you can say: “Hey, they were going to 

replace the carpet but they decided to 

leave it to you to choose a new carpet 

and priced it accordingly.” 

Finally, good old fashioned elbow 

grease is essential in all properties 

to remove those sins that are simply 

cleanable.

'IT’S A Kind of Magic' with Giles Taylor 

channeling Freddie at the helm 'rocked' the 

Horncastle Arena tonight. 

An enthusiastic crowd greeted the 

international Queen tribute act that is 

currently touring the country. 

Giles is an exemplary performer. 

Exuberant and oozing charisma, he 

completely won the audience over within 

opening numbers. 

Giles has Freddie mannerisms and look 

off to a tee. Procient on vocals and piano, 

it's no wonder Freddie Mercury's personal 

assistant and biographer Peter Freestone has 

endorsed this show. 

A dynamo of energy taking full command 

of the stage and fearlessly invading the 

audience to interact up close with fans. 

But Queen isn't all about Freddie - it's the 

guitar wizardry of Brian May built on the 

strong foundation of John Deacon (bass) 

and Roger Taylor (drums). It's A Kind of 

Magic delivered. e band was tight and 

played awlessly. Ritchie Baker as Brian 

nailed it. 

e total tribute package is impressive. 

Great sound, costumes, choreography, lights 

and use of multi-media. 

OVER the past month Take Me Home : 

e Music & Life of John Denver starring 

Dunedin’s Bevan Gardiner has played an 

astounding 25 shows across 20 centres 

throughout New Zealand, concluding at 

the Isaac eatre Royal in Christchurch 

last night. 

It’s 20 years this year since John Denver 

died in a tragic air accident, aged 53 - and 

judging by last night’s packed audience, his 

music has not waned in popularity. 

Presented in a nicely constructed tribute 

show incorporating live performances of 

JD classics with archival lm footage, 

Bevan and band presented a beautiful 

tribute to the icon. 

Adept on guitar with an uncanny vocal 

likeness to JD, Bevan gave a faultless 

performance that was enhanced by regular 

singing partner, Georgie Daniell. 

Directed by Vancouver’s Davey Walker 

on keyboards, a highly procient band 

made up of Sydney based Darryl Walker 

(bass) and Glen Bain (lead guitar), along 

with Christchurch’s own Allan Cattermole 

(drums), provided impeccable backing and 

harmonious vocals. 

A must-see for any John Denver fan.
