reveals<br />
fire safety<br />
issues<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
AN INVESTIGATION has found<br />
potential issues with fire protection<br />
walls and floors in Canterbury<br />
District Health Board hospitals.<br />
As part of its earthquake repair<br />
work, the CDHB has investigated<br />
its passive fire protection walls and<br />
floors, which are designed to keep a<br />
fire from spreading.<br />
CDHB acting chief executive<br />
Mary Gordon said the investigation<br />
found “a number of potential compliance<br />
issues.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> CDHB wouldn’t say what the<br />
specific issues were or what buildings<br />
were affected.<br />
But CDHB board member Aaron<br />
Keown said the problems were<br />
mostly around holes drilled through<br />
the firewalls or floors to fit new services,<br />
like gas pipes and IT system<br />
wiring.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost of the repair was currently<br />
unknown, but was likely to be<br />
“quite massive,” he said.<br />
Fire Service specialist investigator<br />
Mark Thomas said that would be<br />
a particular concern in a hospital,<br />
because in a fire patients would<br />
be moved to another part of the<br />
building, rather than evacuated<br />
outside.<br />
If there was even a small hole in<br />
a firewall, they could be at risk, he<br />
said.<br />

THEY SAY a picture is worth a<br />
thousand words.<br />
Our page 1 photo today is<br />
simply that. Another Martin<br />
Hunter (the photographer)<br />
special.<br />
He captures Maree Smolenski<br />
and her son Jonty perfectly.<br />
Jonty is five and has a very<br />
rare recessive genetic disorder<br />
called trichothiodystrophy. If he<br />
gets sick even from a common<br />
cold he could die. It’s that serious.<br />
When he was a baby, hospital<br />
was his second home.<br />
On pages 6-7 today, we detail<br />
Jonty’s journey and a very grateful<br />
family who are having a fundraiser<br />
to give something back<br />
to the organisations which have<br />
helped them with their son’s<br />
mountainous medical hurdles.<br />
That’s pretty special.<br />
And if you’re wondering what<br />
‘a picture is worth a thousand<br />
words’ means, here it is: It refers<br />
to the notion that a complex<br />
idea can be conveyed with<br />
just a single still image or that<br />
an image of a subject conveys its<br />
meaning or essence more effectively<br />
than a description does.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw the formation of the New<br />
Zealand Boxing Assn on <strong>July</strong> 4, 1902. On the same date<br />
in 1977, hundreds of people were evacuated as serious<br />
flooding affected the city. On <strong>July</strong> 6, 1887, heavy floods<br />
inundated the city, three young men drowned in the<br />
Avon River as a result of a boating mishap. On <strong>July</strong> 7,<br />
1908, widespread flooding affected the province. On<br />
the same day in 1986, heavy rain flooded the northern<br />
suburbs. On <strong>July</strong> 8, 1880, the Canterbury Society of<br />
Arts was formed. On <strong>July</strong> 9, 1863, civic tree planting<br />
began. Part of the day’s planting was a commemorative<br />
tree, generally regarded as the beginning of the Botanic<br />
Gardens.<br />

A campaign to get strangers smiling<br />

Board members have suggested it<br />
explore a “smile campaign” for the area.<br />
It is looking at including local school<br />

Cathedral letter ‘wishy-washy’<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
WINSTON PETERS has<br />
refused to sign a letter<br />
supporting the restoration<br />
deal for the Christ Church<br />
Cathedral.<br />
Leaders of National, Labour,<br />
Act, Green, Maori and United<br />
Future signed a letter to Bishop<br />
Victoria Matthews on Tuesday<br />
saying the offer represented a<br />
clear and agreed way forward.<br />
“We agree in principle to support<br />
legislation that will enable<br />
the reinstatement of the Christ<br />
Church Cathedral should the<br />
synod vote in its favour, to be<br />
commenced once a new Government<br />
has formed,” it said.<br />
But the New Zealand First<br />
leader said he did not sign because<br />
it was “wishy-washy.”<br />
“We agree in principle. What<br />
does that mean?” said Mr<br />
Peters.<br />
“You’re either going to do it or<br />
you’re not going to do it.”<br />
Mr Peters said he was in<br />
favour of the restoration of the<br />
Cathedral, but the Government<br />
should be offering more money.<br />
“It’s not just a building, it’s<br />
something far more important.”<br />
Mr Peters visited Christchurch<br />
in May calling for<br />
the restoration of the<br />
Cathedral, and slated the<br />
Anglican Church for not<br />
acting sooner.<br />
On Tuesday,<br />
Minister supporting<br />
Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Nicky<br />
Wagner and<br />
Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel tabled<br />
a new restoration<br />
deal for<br />
the Anglican<br />
Church to consider.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new offer<br />
included a $10 million<br />
pledge from the<br />
city council – subject<br />
to consultation – with<br />
a Government pledge<br />
of $10 million, and<br />
a $15 million loan<br />
that would not need<br />
to be paid back if<br />
restoration was done<br />
within budget, and in<br />
a reasonable time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> deal also<br />
involved setting<br />
up an independent<br />
STAND: New Zealand First leader Winston<br />
Peters did not sign a letter alongside other<br />
party leaders signalling support for the<br />
Christ Church Cathedral restoration deal<br />
because it was “wishy-washy.”<br />
Fundraising Trust,<br />
new legislation to<br />
streamline project<br />
consenting and approval<br />
processes, and a<br />
joint venture between<br />
the Church Property<br />
Trustees and the trust<br />
to govern and manage<br />
the restoration<br />
project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Great Christchurch<br />
Buildings Trust<br />
would also pledge<br />
$13.7 million.<br />
<strong>The</strong> offer will be<br />
considered by the<br />
diocese’s synod – a governing<br />
body made up of more than 200<br />
parishioners and priests – before<br />
it votes on the Cathedral’s future<br />
on September 9.<br />
Labour MP and Christchurch<br />
issues spokeswoman Megan<br />
Woods said the letter signalled<br />
if there was a change in<br />
Government in the September<br />
23 election, the offer still stood.<br />
Green MP Eugenie Sage<br />
said it gave certainty to the synod.<br />
“I think the offer is a really<br />
good one. I hope the synod will<br />
look on it favourably.”<br />

Probe reveals hospital fire safety issues<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Mr Thomas: “You don’t<br />
take a sick person and put them<br />
outside at three in the morning,<br />
so in a fire they initially do<br />
a horizontal evacuation, past<br />
smoke and fire stop doors. So if<br />
they’ve gone past it, to what they<br />
perceive is safety, but the wall<br />
is compromised, it is possible<br />
it (the fire) could come past to<br />
where they are,” he said.<br />
Fire Fighting Pacific Canterbury<br />
service manager Charlie<br />
Loughnan said he believed<br />
working firewalls could have<br />
prevented the fire in London’s<br />
Grenfell Tower last month from<br />
spreading.<br />
“My opinion is that the cladding<br />
burnt the building down,<br />
but didn’t kill anyone. It was the<br />
lack of fire separations inside the<br />
building which was the cause of<br />
the deaths: <strong>The</strong> fire getting from<br />
the apartment into the lobby,<br />
from the lobby into a stairwell,<br />
then blocking the stairwell.”<br />
He said a lack of firewalls was<br />
also what allowed the 1947 Ballantynes<br />
fire to spread so fast,<br />
killing 41 people.<br />
He said world-leading regulations<br />
around firewalls were<br />
brought in after the tragedy, but<br />
they depended on the firewalls<br />
not being compromised.<br />
Ms Gordon said work was<br />
being done to investigate and<br />
rectify the issues.<br />
She said all hospital buildings<br />
had fire detection and suppression<br />
systems, and the safety of<br />
staff, patients and visitors was<br />
her top priority.<br />
“We don’t have any immediate<br />
concerns,” she said.<br />
She said the work was a “proactive<br />
investigation done on our<br />
own initiative,” not a requirement.<br />
She said the Ministry of<br />
Health was aware of the work,<br />
and was “reviewing the systems”<br />
as part of its planning process.<br />
In Brief<br />
CTV SITE PLAN<br />
Families and friends of those<br />
killed in the CTV building collapse<br />
will be shown a final design<br />
of how the site will be landscaped<br />
next month. An Otakaro spokesman<br />
said the area would be a<br />
“peaceful place” made up of grass,<br />
greenery and seating. <strong>The</strong> CTV<br />
building, on the corner of Madras<br />
and Cashel Sts, collapsed in the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
killing 115 people. A survey of<br />
the site and ground conditions<br />
would be done in the next few<br />
weeks to see what plants are best<br />
suited.<br />
BUSINESS LEADER RESIGNS<br />
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber<br />
of Commerce chief executive<br />
Peter Townsend has resigned<br />
after 21 years in the role. His<br />
final day will be on November<br />
30. Mr Townsend said he would<br />
have stood down earlier, had it<br />
not been for the September 4,<br />
2010, and February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquakes, which were the<br />
most challenging years of his<br />
career. Mr Townsend still serves<br />
on a number of boards, including<br />
Otakaro.<br />
$18K ON RED ZONE SIGNS<br />
More than $18,000 has been<br />
spent on manufacturing and<br />
installing new street signs in the<br />
residential red zone. <strong>The</strong> city<br />
council, in conjunction with the<br />
Avon Otakaro Network, installed<br />
94 street signs and 26 wayfinding<br />
signs using special brackets so<br />
they can’t be removed without a<br />
special tool. Many of the original<br />
signs were taken by people as<br />
souvenirs.<br />
NEW COURT SECURITY<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Justice and Emergency<br />
Services Precinct will have<br />
permanent security screening<br />
stations for all visitors to the<br />

general manager Melissa Gill<br />
said an operational security<br />

to develop consistent and<br />

Elderly man<br />
fights with<br />
attacker<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
THE ELDERLY man who was<br />
robbed in broad daylight at a<br />
Bryndwr ATM on Monday tried<br />
to fight off his attacker.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim, in his 80s, was<br />
withdrawing a sum of money<br />
from a machine at the intersection<br />
of Wairakei and Greers Rds<br />
at about 11am.<br />
<strong>The</strong> offender, described as a<br />
Maori or Pacific Islander man<br />
in his 30s to 40s, solid build, of<br />
average height and a short beard,<br />
wearing a beanie, a black puffer<br />
jacket, dark-coloured long pants<br />
and white sneakers, approached<br />
him from behind.<br />
He hovered over his shoulder at<br />
the ATM until the man had the<br />
money in his hand, that’s when<br />
he went for it.<br />
A short struggle ensued and the<br />
offender then fled in a vehicle, believed<br />
to be a white station wagon,<br />
similar to a Subaru Impreza, and<br />
travelled along Wairakei Rd, east,<br />
towards the city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim was not injured,<br />
but understandably shaken up, a<br />
police spokeswoman said.<br />

Lions boost for terror victim<br />
• By Timothy Brown<br />
A FRIEND of the Christchurch<br />
man stabbed in the London<br />
terror attack has gone to<br />
extraordinary lengths to bring<br />
him some comfort.<br />
Oliver Dowling and his French<br />
girlfriend, Marie Bondeville,<br />
were among victims of the Borough<br />
Market terrorist attack in<br />
London on June 3, in which eight<br />
people were killed and 48 others<br />
injured.<br />
Mr Dowling met William<br />
McKee while at high school in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Mr McKee, of Dunedin, said<br />
he was shocked to hear of Mr<br />
Dowling’s injuries – which<br />
included multiple stab wounds –<br />
and hatched a plan to show him<br />
how much he meant to those on<br />
the other side of the world.<br />
Knowing Mr Dowling supported<br />
the Scottish rugby team<br />
and that three Scottish players<br />
would be visiting Dunedin on<br />
June 11 with the British and Irish<br />
Lions, he took his video camera<br />
to Dunedin Airport to see if<br />
they would send a message to his<br />
injured friend.<br />
Scottish captain Greig Laidlaw<br />
was among the first to step off<br />
MATES: Lions player and Scottish captain Greig Laidlaw<br />
featured in a video to comfort Oliver Dowling (inset), who was<br />
stabbed during the Borough Market terror attack in London.<br />
the plane and was more than<br />
willing to help.<br />
He was also able to rope injured<br />
fullback Stuart Hogg into<br />
sending Mr Dowling a message<br />
of support.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Otago rugby team also got<br />
in on the act, as did Dunedin<br />
Mayor Dave Cull and Prime<br />
Minister Bill English.<br />
Mr Dowling attended the<br />
University of Otago in 2003,<br />
prompting Mr Cull to describe<br />
him as an “asset” to the city in<br />
the mayor’s message of support.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> whole thing has come<br />
about because you feel a bit<br />
useless over here and you want<br />
him to know he’s supported,” Mr<br />
McKee said.<br />
“When you are so far away<br />
from these tragic events you<br />
want to do something . . . these<br />
sort of things affect everyone and<br />
shock us equally.<br />
“You want to try and offer your<br />
support. I thought he’s going to<br />
have a long road to recovery, as<br />
is his girlfriend, so why not try<br />
and put a smile on his face and<br />
let him know that everyone is<br />
thinking of him way over here?”<br />
Mr Dowling and Miss Bondeville<br />
were out in London having<br />
dinner at the time the attacks<br />
unfolded, Mr McKee said.<br />
“What a horrific experience to<br />
go through.”<br />
Both required surgery for their<br />
wounds and were slowly recovering<br />
physically. <strong>The</strong> video had<br />
come as a huge morale boost to<br />
Mr Dowling.<br />
“He’s got personally in contact<br />
a couple of times and said ‘thank<br />
you very much’. His sister saw it .<br />
. . she was thrilled. He messaged<br />
and said ‘thanks very much’. He<br />
was chuffed, but probably a little<br />
embarrassed,” Mr McKee said.<br />
Those involved in the video<br />
were more than willing to help,<br />
which was heartening, he said.<br />

One of a kind battler’s parents give<br />
Family<br />
organises<br />
thank you<br />
for helping<br />
little Jonty<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
JONTY WAS just 10-weeks-old<br />
when his parents had to watch<br />
him being prepared for surgery<br />
for the first time.<br />
That was five years ago, and<br />
Sam and Maree Smolenski have<br />
since become very familiar with<br />
the hospital.<br />
For the first 96 days of his<br />
life, Jonty was kept in neonatal<br />
intensive care. He had problems<br />
seeing, hearing and eating, and<br />
seemed to be hit far harder by<br />
colds and flus than other children.<br />
Yet the doctors could not<br />
understand what was causing<br />
Jonty’s problems – and it was<br />
three years before they had an<br />
answer, Mrs Smolenski said.<br />
That came almost by chance,<br />
she said.<br />
Jonty has trichothiodystrophy<br />
– a recessive genetic disorder so<br />
rare he is the only person in New<br />
Zealand currently diagnosed<br />
with it.<br />
But a geneticist at Christchurch<br />
Hospital had seen cases<br />
before, and recognised the symptoms,<br />
including Jonty’s distinctive<br />
brittle hair, she said.<br />
“He has never ever had a hair<br />
cut. <strong>The</strong>re is a guy on Home<br />
Alone who gets his hair singed,<br />
and he’s left with just knobbles<br />
around his head. When Jonty<br />

school for the<br />
day.<br />

HUNTER<br />
was a wee baby in neonatal care<br />
he looked like that. His first lot<br />
of hair just rubbed right off and<br />
knobbled up around his head,”<br />
she said.<br />
Although they finally knew<br />
the cause of their son’s problems,<br />
it came with bad news – it was<br />
untreatable, and many children<br />
with the condition died young,<br />
she said.<br />
“It was quite a shock. We don’t<br />
know how long we’ll have with<br />
Jonty. Every winter there’s a risk<br />
he might get an illness he doesn’t<br />
recover from,” she said.<br />
Spending so much time in hospital<br />
away from their two other<br />
children, Lachie, 7, and Ruby, 3,<br />
made it harder, she said.<br />
But that was when the community<br />
rallied.<br />
Mr Smolenski is a harness<br />
racing trainer and driver, and<br />
comes from a racing family –<br />
his grandfather was driving<br />
and training legend Jack<br />
Smolenski.<br />
<strong>The</strong> racing community rallied<br />
last year to raise more than<br />
$75,000 for the family, with even<br />
world driving champion Dexter<br />
Dunn wearing special racing<br />
colours in Jonty’s honour as a<br />
fundraiser.<br />
That meant the whole family<br />
could go to international conferences<br />
in the United States last<br />
year and again this year to meet<br />
with specialists and with other<br />
people who have the condition,<br />

back to community<br />
This year, she said the family<br />
were approached by Addington<br />
Raceway, asking if the family<br />
needed more help.<br />
But instead, they wanted to do<br />
something to give back, she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family have planned a<br />
fundraising race night and dinner<br />
on <strong>July</strong> 21, raising money for<br />
some of the local organisations<br />
that have helped them.<br />
“We don’t know how long<br />
we’ll have with Jonty. Every<br />
winter there’s a risk he<br />
might get an illness he<br />
doesn’t recover from.”<br />
– Maree Smolenski<br />
She said many were locally run<br />
and struggled with funding, but<br />
made life a lot easier for families<br />
like hers.<br />
“It’s not an easy road, but<br />
it’s made easier by the support<br />
of everyone around us, our<br />
personal friends and family and<br />
also the wider community and<br />
organisations around us. You<br />
go back to that saying, it takes a<br />
village to raise a child, and that’s<br />
especially true when it’s a special<br />
child.”<br />
She said more than $5000<br />
worth of spot prizes had already<br />
been donated to be given away on<br />
the night, including accommodation<br />
at Terrace Downs Resort and<br />
Hanmer Springs.<br />
Individual tickets to the race<br />
night, which include dinner and<br />
a drink, cost $75, while business<br />
packages, which include race<br />
naming rights and a table for 10,<br />
cost $1400.<br />

Motive for alleged attack<br />
on policeman a mystery<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
DETECTIVES are investigating<br />
whether an alleged attack on a<br />
police officer at his home was<br />
a case of mistaken identity or<br />
something more sinister.<br />
Two men and a woman were<br />
arrested on Monday night and<br />
appeared in the district court<br />
on Tuesday after the incident in<br />
Charteris Bay.<br />
It’s alleged Ngarie Maree<br />
Sadlier, 38, approached the<br />
property impersonating a police<br />
officer at 10.28pm while Norton<br />
Lindsay Adams, 26, and Matthew<br />
Winara Webber, 28, waited<br />
outside.<br />
When the officer came outside<br />
to see what was going on he<br />
placed Sadlier under arrest for<br />
trespassing.<br />
A scuffle then ensued, with<br />
Adams and Sadlier allegedly<br />
attacking him. <strong>The</strong>y escaped in<br />
a vehicle driven by Adams, but<br />
were arrested a short time later.<br />
A shotgun was found concealed<br />
in a guitar case in the<br />
boot – ammunition had allegedly<br />
been thrown from the vehicle<br />
during the chase.<br />
Police have alleged all three<br />
have gang affiliations. Police have<br />
not ruled out the attack could be<br />
targeted and have launched an<br />
investigation, Canterbury Metro<br />
Commander Superintendent<br />
Lane Todd said.<br />
He confirmed to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> they<br />
are exploring the gang angle and<br />
if it was mistaken identity or a<br />
targeted attack.<br />
District Commander Superintendent<br />
John Price said he<br />
hoped it was random rather than<br />
targeted.<br />
“I have spoken to the officer<br />
involved and he is obviously<br />
shaken up,” he said.<br />
Adams was remanded in<br />
custody charged with failure to<br />
stop, reckless driving, aggravated<br />
assault and unlawful possession<br />
of a firearm.<br />
Sadlier, whose occupation is<br />
listed as a scientist, was released<br />
on bail charged with aggravated<br />
assault, trespass, escapes custody,<br />
impersonating police, and unlawful<br />
possession of a firearm.<br />
Webber, a construction<br />
worker, was charged with wilful<br />
damage and unlawful possession<br />
of a firearm.<br />
All three will reappear on <strong>July</strong><br />
25 in the district court.<br />

Fundraiser pays for vet bills<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
AFTER BEING attacked by a<br />
knife-wielding man in her home<br />
two years ago, Pip Clark felt she<br />
had seen the worst of humanity.<br />
But last week, she said she saw<br />
the best.<br />
People have donated more<br />
than $6500 to help pay her vet<br />
bills for her five-year-old standard<br />
poodle, Charlie, who needed<br />
an expensive operation on his<br />
intestines.<br />
Ms Clark credited Charlie for<br />
saving her life when she was attacked<br />
by the intruder two years<br />
ago.<br />
She was getting ready for work<br />
in November, 2015, when she<br />
came across the intruder. He<br />
started punching her, then went<br />
at her with a knife, slicing her<br />
forearm, she said.<br />
That was when Charlie arrived<br />
and ran at the attacker, scaring<br />
him off. Police were called, but<br />
the man has not been found.<br />
Ms Clark said Charlie was<br />
her hero, not only during the<br />
attack but in the months afterward<br />
when she felt unsafe at<br />
home.<br />
Last month, Charlie became<br />
very sick. <strong>The</strong> vet found his<br />
intestines were blocked, and he<br />

would need an operation.<br />
She said it came at a terrible<br />
time as she was only working<br />
part-time herself because of her<br />
own medical problems, so she<br />
was struggling financially.<br />
But after an article in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
last week, she said donations<br />
had poured in – just one day<br />
after it ran she said she had<br />
more than enough to pay for the<br />
operation, and she asked Givealittle<br />
to close the page.<br />
“Some people donated $500,<br />
which shocked me, and others<br />
said I don’t have much but here’s<br />
$10. I know that’s a huge deal<br />
when you don’t have much,” she<br />
said.<br />
She said all the care and<br />
well-wishes from strangers had<br />
meant a lot.<br />
“I was so stressed and so overwhelmed<br />
by it all, and this, all<br />
the donations and the messages,<br />
has meant such a lot,” she said.<br />
“In my life I’ve seen mostly<br />
the worst of humanity, unfortunately,<br />
so this has restored my<br />
faith, I suppose.”<br />
She said Charlie had to go<br />
back to the vet several times<br />
after the operation because of<br />
complications, but he was now<br />
recovering.<br />
“I thought he was going to<br />
die three times, and after going<br />
through that I’m so exhausted<br />
but I’m so thankful. I don’t<br />
know what I would have done<br />
without him,” she said.<br />
Dirty tunnel<br />
cops criticism<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
THE CLEANLINESS of the<br />
Lyttelton Tunnel is in the spotlight.<br />
Lyttelton Community Association<br />
chairman Ken Maynard said<br />
the state of the tunnel has “been a<br />
problem for a while.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are black streaks down<br />
the walls. It needs a general spring<br />
clean,” Mr Maynard said.<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
is in charge of the tunnel’s maintenance<br />
– it receives about one<br />
complaint every month.<br />
NZTA maintenance contract<br />
manager Barry Stratton said since<br />
the February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
things had got worse.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are a number of reasons<br />
why the tunnel is currently, and<br />
since the earthquakes, a much<br />
dirtier environment than it used<br />
to be,” Mr Stratton said.<br />
After the tunnel was reopened<br />
following the earthquake, up to<br />
eight tonnes of dirt and dust was<br />
cleared every month.<br />
As a result, last year NZTA<br />
made the Covered Loads bylaw<br />
to stop loose material flying off<br />
trucks and settling in the tunnel.<br />
Since then the most recent dust<br />
count has more than halved.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tunnel walls are washed<br />
every three weeks, but Mr Maynard<br />
said it needs to be done more often.<br />

Sideline abuse is<br />
a problem in New<br />
Zealand, but in the<br />
Solomon Islands it<br />
can escalate into<br />
attempted murder<br />
– as a Christchurch<br />
policeman found<br />
out first-hand.<br />
Nicholas Jones<br />
reports<br />
DETECTIVE Sergeant<br />
Darren Folau has been in<br />
the Solomons for various<br />
stretches since 2002.<br />
He saw first-hand<br />
the lawlessness and<br />
violence that took the<br />
country to the brink and<br />
saw an Australian-led<br />
peacekeeping effort that<br />
finished last week after 14<br />
years.<br />
Detective Sergeant<br />
Folau’s closest scrape came<br />
not when on patrol, but<br />
at a weekend rugby game.<br />
Like other Kiwi police<br />
officers working in the<br />
country, he’s helped build<br />
up the sport, particularly<br />

by mentoring referees.<br />
That’s what he was doing<br />
at a game between two<br />
village-based teams during<br />
the height of the often<br />
deadly conflict between<br />
ethnic groups, known as<br />
“the tensions”.<br />
“Somebody knocked<br />
the ref out for awarding<br />
a dodgy try, the ref was a<br />
wantok [kin member] of<br />
the other team, so they<br />
started chasing this player<br />
around the field. It was like<br />
the Benny Hill Show, really<br />
– people chasing each<br />
other with bush knives and<br />
machetes.”<br />
Detective Sergeant<br />
Folau went to the referee’s<br />
aid when he heard a<br />
pop.<br />
“And I looked up and<br />
there was bloke from less<br />
than 5m shooting at us<br />
with a .45 pistol. I heard<br />
the pops go past my ears.<br />
It was a former policeman<br />
who was a militant.<br />
“He wasn’t a good shot,<br />
that’s for sure, otherwise I<br />
wouldn’t be here telling the<br />
story. That’s the volatility –<br />
it can just escalate within<br />
seconds.”<br />

Australia led Ramsi at a cost of<br />
almost $3 billion, answering the<br />
plea for help from the Solomons<br />
Government in 2003.<br />
Detective Sergeant Folau’s<br />
work included a leading role in<br />
the operation against warlord<br />
Harold Keke, who was jailed<br />
for life for murdering a Cabinet<br />
minister in the first of the socalled<br />
tension trials.<br />
He said the change over Ramsi’s<br />
14 years had been dramatic.<br />
“When we first got here it was<br />
complete lawlessness, it was<br />
ruled by gun. <strong>The</strong> police were<br />
corrupt and they were ruling<br />
by gun. <strong>The</strong> infrastructure had<br />
fallen over, the government had<br />
collapsed with finances, the hospital<br />
was almost non-existent.<br />
“Now infrastructure is really<br />
good, the Government finances<br />
GAME TIME: Darren Folau refereed an annual sevens<br />
tournament in the Solomons.<br />
are being tracked really well and<br />
the police force in particular it is<br />
two-thirds new police force from<br />
2002.”<br />
In spite of that widelyacknowledged<br />
success, there is<br />
significant unease locally about<br />
whether security can be maintained<br />
once the foreign police<br />
leave.<br />
Corruption is widespread,<br />
Kiwi cops in the Solomon Islands<br />
•<strong>The</strong> Solomon Islands was on the brink of collapse during<br />
civil and ethnic conflict between 1998 and 2003 that saw<br />
more than 100 people killed and around 40,000 driven<br />
from their homes.<br />
•After the Solomons Government asked for help, the Ramsi<br />
was established and an initial force of about 2200 military<br />
and police officers, primarily from Australia and New<br />
Zealand along with representatives from several Pacific<br />
Island states, restored security.<br />
•<strong>The</strong> last NZDF platoon left in November 2012. Last week<br />
marked the official end of Ramsi, and most of the 16 Kiwi<br />
police officers in the country flew home.<br />
thousands of illegal firearms<br />
have not been surrendered in<br />
official amnesties, and tensions<br />
over land remain.<br />
During her three-day visit<br />
recently, Deputy Prime Minister<br />
Paula Bennett signed an agreement<br />
that will keep eight New<br />
Zealand Police advisers in the<br />
country.<br />
Folau will return to policing<br />
in Christchurch at the end<br />
of the year after helping with<br />
the changeover. He wanted to<br />
acknowledge the six Ramsi personnel<br />
who lost their lives, and<br />
the countless Solomon Island<br />
victims of the ethnic violence.<br />
An unusual number of Crusaders<br />
supporters around Honiara<br />
will be just part of Folau’s<br />
legacy here.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are just amazing people.<br />
I put my hand on my heart and<br />
say that I get more co-operation<br />
and genuine support and thanks<br />
and good mornings than I would<br />
back in New Zealand,” Detective<br />
Sergeant Folau said of the experience.<br />

in his honour.”<br />
Sumner captained the All<br />
Whites to their first ever world<br />
cup finals appearance in Spain<br />
in 1982, and was synonymous<br />
with Christchurch United in the<br />
1970s and 80s.<br />
He died in February after a<br />
long battle with prostate cancer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Sumner family want to<br />

the game,” Mr Thomas said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Steve Sumner Cup will be<br />
played for by the division one<br />
teams.<br />

Toby’s trunk load of memories<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
Firefighter’s<br />
helmet found<br />
EXCAVATORS demolishing a<br />
Canterbury District Health Board<br />
building have made a strange<br />
discovery – an 80-year-old<br />
firefighter’s helmet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> helmet was discovered<br />
encased in mud below the former<br />
sexual health clinic on St Asaph<br />
St, which is earmarked to be the<br />
site of the new energy centre.<br />
It was spotted by excavators<br />
who were digging out the fill at<br />
the bottom of the lift shaft.<br />
<strong>The</strong> helmet is made from layers<br />
of cork, covered with cotton canvas<br />
and painted.<br />
Fire helmet expert Andy Turnham<br />
told the CDHB the find was<br />
an old Cromwell 2240 Telbon fire<br />
helmet made by Helmets Ltd of<br />
Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire,<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
He said the lining dates it between<br />
1934 and 1948 and it could<br />
have been an officer’s helmet, but<br />
was not valuable, he said.<br />
THANKS TO the generosity<br />
of the community, 10-year-old<br />
Toby Matthews has had his<br />
dream trip to Africa – and he<br />
may get a ride in a firetruck and<br />
a chance to see a tiger, too.<br />
Toby is deaf and learned last<br />
year he is also going blind,<br />
because of an incurable genetic<br />
condition.<br />
After Toby’s story was published<br />
in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, more than<br />
$16,000 was donated online to<br />
help his family give him experiences<br />
before he loses his vision.<br />
It meant he was able to travel<br />
to Africa last month with his<br />
father, builder Logan Matthews,<br />
where they helped to build a<br />
school in Zimbabwe.<br />
Mr Matthews said Toby had<br />
loved the animals most of all.<br />
“We saw an elephant riding<br />
expert on the side of the road,<br />
and I knew that was us. So he<br />
rode an elephant for an hour,<br />
and then he got to interact and<br />
play with it. I think that was his<br />
highlight,” he said.<br />
He said the goal of the trip<br />
was both to give Toby visual<br />
experiences he could remember,<br />
and to help other people.<br />
As well as building classrooms<br />
at the school, he said they built<br />
shelves for the children’s books,<br />
which had previously had to sit<br />
on the ground, and brought a lot<br />
of school supplies with them.<br />
Because Toby’s condition,<br />
Usher syndrome, is so rare, he<br />
said the family did not know how<br />
long Toby’s vision might last.<br />
He was born deaf, but his vision<br />
was slowly tunnelling, with<br />
the area he could see growing<br />
progressively smaller, and there<br />
was no known way to reverse it.<br />
He said the family planned to<br />
head to Auckland next month<br />
for thorough testing to see how<br />
it was progressing.<br />
Mr Matthews said Toby had<br />
BONDING:<br />
<strong>The</strong> highlight<br />
of Toby’s time<br />
in Zimbabwe<br />
was meeting<br />
and riding an<br />
elephant there.<br />
been struggling to come to<br />
terms with things he could not<br />
do, and the trip to Africa had<br />
meant a lot to him.<br />
“He was getting quite angry<br />
and frustrated before he left, but<br />
since he has come home he’s had<br />
quite a different temperament. It<br />
was a real morale boost,” he said.<br />
And Toby has had more<br />
dreams made possible since he<br />
returned.<br />
He said he wanted to see a tiger<br />
on the trip, but that was very<br />
unlikely as tigers are native to<br />
Asia. But since he has returned,<br />
the family has been donated a<br />
12-month pass to Orana Wildlife<br />
Park – meaning Toby will be<br />
able to see tigers.<br />
He said the family had also<br />
been given a trip on the<br />
TranzAlpine train, and firefighters<br />
had offered Toby tours of<br />
their fire stations.<br />
Toby wanted to be a firefighter,<br />
but his failing vision means<br />
that is likely to be impossible.<br />
Mr Matthews said the help<br />
from the community had been<br />
incredible.<br />
“When I showed Toby how<br />
many people had given, he was<br />
blown away by how many<br />
people cared about him,” he<br />
said.<br />

China Gives New Shine<br />
to BRICS of Gold<br />
On June 19, <strong>2017</strong>, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the<br />
five BRICS countries met in Beijing. And with just<br />
100 days until the Ninth BRICS Summit in China in<br />
September, the world is keen to know if the summit<br />
can put a new shine on emerging markets amid a<br />
sluggish global economic recovery and setbacks in<br />
globalization.<br />
Under the theme “BRICS: Stronger Partnership for<br />
a Brighter Future”, the summit will gather leaders<br />
from countries representing 40 percent of the world<br />
population and 25 percent of global GDP.<br />
Formation of “BRICS”<br />
Coined by former Goldman Sachs economist Jim<br />
O’Neill in 2001, the term “BRIC” refers to Brazil,<br />
Russia, India and China, four emerging markets<br />
with fast growth and great potential. In 20<strong>06</strong>, foreign<br />
ministers from those countries met in New York,<br />
formally starting the BRIC grouping. South Africa<br />
joined the group in 2010, the acronym changing to<br />
BRICS.<br />
It is fair to say that China has always pinned high<br />
hopes on BRICS for emerging markets with which<br />
it finds natural common ground. While the English<br />
acronym is catchy, the Chinese translation -- four<br />
characters that bear the literal meaning “gold bricks<br />
countries” -- conveys confidence in the future.<br />
That sense of confidence is backed by concrete<br />
growth. And it has truly been a “golden decade.”<br />
And the inclusion of South Africa gave the group<br />
more political weight when speaking up for the<br />
emerging world on the international stage. With its<br />
five major members hailing from different continents,<br />
BRICS has a very significant voice for inclusive and<br />
multi-polar development.<br />
Joint Efforts to Tackle Challenges<br />
<strong>The</strong> past decade was not without challenges for<br />
the five nations. Economic slowdown, rising trade<br />
protectionism and a volatile international security<br />
situation were common problems facing the<br />
whole world, but the BRICS countries have shown<br />
remarkable resilience with its abundant resources,<br />
vast markets, huge growth potential and enhanced<br />
cooperation.<br />
Economic cooperation has been a major theme of<br />
BRICS development. To help finance infrastructure<br />
and sustainable development projects in BRICS and<br />
other emerging economies and developing countries,<br />
China co-founded the BRICS New Development<br />
Bank (NDB) in 2014 with its headquarters in<br />
Shanghai.<br />
Fully operational in 2016, the bank approved loans<br />
involving financial assistance of over 1.5 billion U.S.<br />
dollars for projects in green and renewable energy,<br />
and transport that year. <strong>The</strong> newly established<br />
institutions will increasingly serve as a bridge<br />
between developing and developed countries,<br />
becoming instrumental in pushing global economic<br />
growth, and more importantly furthering South-<br />
South cooperation at various levels. As an important<br />
manifestation of multiplicity and multilateralism in<br />
the age of global interdependence, the BRICS and<br />
its New Development Bank represent the aspirations<br />
of the largest developing economies to have their<br />
due seats at the table of international systems of<br />
governance.<br />
All parties agreed that the BRICS countries should<br />
push forward the unity and cooperation between<br />
emerging market economies, safeguard and<br />
enhance the overall interests and welfares of the<br />
vast developing countries, continuously commit to<br />
maintaining international fairness and justice and<br />
promoting world peace and stability, maintain the<br />
UN’s core role in international affairs, advance the<br />
political settlement of hotspot issues, jointly cope<br />
with global challenges, and make efforts to establish a<br />
new type of international relations featuring win-win<br />
cooperation.<br />
While meeting with the five Foreign Ministers,<br />
Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that BRICS<br />
members have grasped the development as mainline,<br />
which not only benefits the people in the five countries<br />
but also offers a recipe for the world to address food<br />
and security problems. All heads of delegations<br />
expressed gratitude to China for the great efforts in<br />
promoting BRICS cooperation as the BRICS rotating<br />
presidency.<br />
Expansion for Broader Cooperation<br />
Building on the success of the past ten years, the<br />
BRICS now eyes starting a new decade with a more<br />
expansive partnership to seek inclusive growth.<br />
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China<br />
would explore a BRICS expansion, known as “BRICS<br />
Plus”, and build a wider partnership with other major<br />
developing countries and organizations, so as to turn<br />
BRICS into the most-influential platform for South-<br />
South cooperation in the world.<br />
Meanwhile, China does not only aim for development<br />
within BRICS, but for all nations, with its Belt and<br />
Road Initiative. <strong>The</strong> initiative seeks to link the<br />
developing countries with the developed ones, the<br />
East and the West, so it can become one of the key<br />
chains in terms of megaprojects linking the North,<br />
South, West and East. In line with progress on the<br />
Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS countries have much<br />
potential for cooperation in infrastructure, trade and<br />
investment, and financial markets.<br />
Economic growth marks one of the key merits of<br />
the group. Originating at the height of the global<br />
financial crisis, the group has managed to exceed<br />
even the bullish expectations of O’Neill. Together, the<br />
five countries have contributed to more than half of<br />
global growth in the past ten years, and their share<br />
in global GDP increased from about 12 percent to<br />
23 percent. According to the International Monetary<br />
Fund, the BRICS and other developing countries were<br />
responsible for 80 percent of global growth in 2016.<br />
Consolidated Consensus among BRICS Members<br />
During the Foreign Ministers meeting on June 19, they<br />
reviewed the outcomes and experience gained from<br />
the cooperation in the past decade, and conducted<br />
in-depth discussion on the further development of<br />
BRICS cooperation, current international situation<br />
and hotspot issues.<br />
This advertorial page is supported by <strong>The</strong> Chinese Consulate<br />
So far, the Belt and Road Initiative has received a<br />
warm welcome from BRICS countries. With such<br />
inclusive platforms as the Belt and Road and NDB,<br />
China will no doubt help add glitter to the BRICS<br />
of gold. With growing global uncertainties, the next<br />
decade might not be a smooth journey but the BRICS<br />
countries will sail through and even enlighten the rest<br />
of the world as long as they can stick to a strong and<br />
expansive partnership.

Vests a way to avoid interruptions<br />
and prevent mistakes at hospital<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
FOR MOST people, distractions<br />
and interruptions while they’re<br />
working are inevitable – but for<br />
nurses handling medications, being<br />
distracted at the wrong time could<br />
prove deadly for their patients.<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board staff are holding a series of<br />
workshops and studies looking at<br />
hospital medication processes, and<br />
things that cause problems or lead<br />
to mistakes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y plan to use what they learn<br />
in the rebuild and redesign of<br />
hospital buildings in Christchurch,<br />
in an effort to make them safer and<br />
run more effectively.<br />
CDHB projects nurse coordinator<br />
Yvonne Williams said<br />
distractions and interruptions were<br />
one of the biggest problems nurses<br />
had pointed out in the workshops<br />
last month.<br />
An Australian study found<br />
nurses preparing or administering<br />
medication were about 12 per cent<br />
more likely to make a mistake<br />
if they were interrupted during<br />
the process – and after multiple<br />
interruptions, the risk of making a<br />
major error doubled.<br />
“Our nurses doing medications<br />
get interrupted a lot, and we know<br />
every interruption can lead to an<br />
error,” Ms Willams said.<br />
“So we’re looking at ways we can<br />
work with staff to make things better<br />
for them and safer, and reduce<br />
the number of errors that occur,”<br />
she said.<br />
She said some of the suggestions<br />
being looked at were simple, like<br />
“do not disturb” vests that nurses<br />
could wear while working with<br />
medicines, or making sure all<br />
equipment needed was stored in<br />
the same place.<br />
Others involved the design of the<br />
new wards, around where medication<br />
rooms were placed and how<br />
they were laid out.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new electronic systems<br />
being rolled out throughout the<br />
hospital could help in some ways<br />
– like sending alarms and alerts<br />
when things were missed – but it<br />
threw up its own challenges, she<br />
said.<br />
Ms Williams said workshops<br />
were held last month with about 30<br />
staff from the child health department,<br />
and staff from other areas<br />
would be involved progressively<br />
over the next several months.<br />

Dead birds<br />
a mystery<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
MYSTERY surrounds<br />
hundreds of birds found dead<br />
in a Leeston cemetery.<br />
But authorities will not be<br />
investigating what caused the<br />
birds to die.<br />
Resident Myles White was out<br />
walking his dog when he found<br />
rings of dead european greenfinches<br />
around the trees at the<br />
Ellesmere Public Cemetery.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were in the process of<br />
dying, squeaking and stuff. It<br />
was bloody gross,” he said.<br />
Environment Canterbury, the<br />
district council, the Department<br />
of Conservation, Forest<br />
and Bird and Green Party MP<br />
Eugenie Sage were contacted by<br />
Mr White.<br />
But because the birds are<br />
an unprotected species, the<br />
incident has been deemed a<br />
forgotten case.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council referred<br />
the matter to DOC.<br />
A DOC spokeswoman said<br />
it was not appropriate for it to<br />
investigate because it did not<br />
involve public conservation<br />
land or protected species.<br />
Mr White suspected the birds<br />
had died from poison to protect<br />
crops in the area.<br />

Helping the vulnerable get on the<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has launched a<br />
series on the work police<br />
in Canterbury are doing<br />
on crime prevention. It<br />
will run weekly covering<br />
a wide range of topics as<br />
police head off trouble<br />
before it starts. Bridget<br />
Rutherford reports on<br />
road policing<br />
SENIOR Constables Aniwa<br />
MacKenzie and Robyn<br />
Pewhairangi know all too well<br />
the effects of a crash.<br />
Both have been involved in<br />
serious crashes while off duty<br />
– one caused by a drink driver,<br />
and the other by a woman who<br />
should not have been driving<br />
unsupervised.<br />
That’s why making the region’s<br />
roads safer is so important to<br />
them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y, along with Senior Constable<br />
Stephanie De Vere, run<br />
programmes to help get people<br />
the appropriate licences, under<br />
the guidance of Senior Sergeant<br />
Kelly Larsen.<br />
On September 8, 2007, Senior<br />
Constable MacKenzie was driving<br />
home from the movies with<br />
her husband Dayle.<br />
ROAD WARRIORS: Senior Constables Stephanie De Vere (left), Robyn Pewhairangi and Aniwa<br />
MacKenzie run programmes to help vulnerable people get their driver licence.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were heading home to<br />
watch the Rugby World Cup<br />
match between the All Blacks<br />
and Italy, when a young drunk<br />
driver ran a stop sign and<br />
ploughed into the passenger side<br />
of the vehicle, where she was<br />
sitting.<br />
Coincidentally, it was outside<br />
Senior Constable MacKenzie’s<br />

sister’s home. She regained consciousness<br />
to her sister’s voice,<br />
who had heard the commotion<br />
and ran outside.<br />
She said the young man tried<br />
to walk away. He was later disqualified<br />
from driving, put on<br />
home detention and had to pay<br />
reparation costs.<br />
She realised that kind of thing<br />
happened on a daily basis.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> consequences after that,<br />
which I’ve been a victim of, can<br />
be catastrophic depending on the<br />
severity of the accident.”<br />
A decade later, she is the police<br />
project lead for the Limited Service<br />
Volunteers programme at<br />
Burnham Military Camp, which<br />
helps vulnerable and unemployed<br />
youths get their learner<br />
licence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> free six-week programme,<br />
run by the New Zealand Defence<br />
Force on behalf of Work and<br />
Income, aims to boost their confidence<br />
and help people improve<br />
their job prospects.<br />
“A lot of these kids have slipped<br />
through the cracks,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re there because life<br />
has been a bit tough for them.<br />
We’re just trying to make it a bit<br />
easier.”<br />
One participant who finished<br />
the last course said having a<br />
licence would boost his job prospects.<br />
He said he had been trying<br />
to get it for three years, but could<br />
not afford to do it.<br />

Thursday <strong>July</strong> 6 <strong>2017</strong> 19<br />
straight and narrow with a licence<br />
Senior Constable MacKenzie<br />
said a lot of them say they would<br />
rather get pulled over without a<br />
licence, than sit the test and risk<br />
failing.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y get caught, then they get<br />
disqualified, and they caught,<br />
and they get disqualified again<br />
and it just snowballs,” Senior<br />
Constable Pewhairangi said.<br />
She has only just passed her<br />
physical competency test allowing<br />
her to go back to front line<br />
work after having her spine fused<br />
last year.<br />
Part of the cause was a<br />
motorcycle crash she had while<br />
riding to work along Manchester<br />
St in 2011. A woman driving in<br />
the opposite direction didn’t see<br />
her and turned in front of her<br />
into Gloucester St, causing the<br />
crash.<br />
<strong>The</strong> driver was on her restricted<br />
licence, with the proviso she was<br />
supervised while driving.<br />
She wasn’t.<br />
Senior Constable Pewhairangi<br />
said police were thinking differently<br />
– they were providing the<br />
ambulance at the top of the cliff,<br />
rather than at the bottom.<br />
“She could have killed herself.<br />
It could have had worse consequences.<br />
If we can stop that<br />
PREVENTION: <strong>The</strong> road policing team is trying to help people<br />
become better drivers to prevent crashes, like this one in<br />
Hornby, from happening.<br />

happening I think that’s what we<br />
need to focus on.”<br />
She is about to start a five-week<br />
programme to help people gain<br />
their learner licence.<br />
Next week, the first of three<br />
courses will start, which sees<br />
mentors help participants learn<br />
the road rules, and prepare them<br />
for their test.<br />
It is similar to the Community<br />
Driver Mentor Programme, a<br />
collaboration between New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency, AA, Salvation<br />
Army and police, helping<br />
people aged 16-24 progress from<br />
their learner licence through to<br />
their restricted.<br />
Senior Constable Pewhairangi<br />
said helping people gain their<br />
Young drivers at fault<br />
causing Canterbury crashes<br />
between<br />
2012-2016<br />
Never licensed: Four fatal, 14<br />
serious injury, 63 minor injury<br />
Learner: Three fatal, 40<br />
serious injury, 212 minor injury<br />
Restricted: Three fatal, 96<br />
serious injury, 392 minor<br />
injury<br />
Disqualified: One fatal, 13<br />
serious injury, 23 minor injury<br />
licence meant they could get<br />
employment, stopping them from<br />
going on the benefit.<br />
That could have spin-offs in<br />
other areas, such as domestic<br />
violence, she said.<br />
Youth drivers were a particular<br />
focus for police.<br />
Police data shows between<br />
2012-2016, of the young drivers<br />
who caused accidents in Canterbury,<br />
81 did not have a licence.<br />
Speed and alcohol were both<br />
“over represented” as contributing<br />
factors.<br />
A lot of those happened between<br />
midnight and 3am.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were 255 crashes caused<br />
by drivers on their learners –<br />
speed and alcohol often a factor<br />
– and 491 on their restricted.<br />
Thirty-seven crashes were<br />
caused by disqualified drivers.<br />
In more than half, alcohol was a<br />
contributing factor.<br />
Another programme Senior<br />
Constable Pewhairangi runs is<br />
the driving while forbidden compliance<br />
scheme.<br />
If someone without a licence –<br />
say theirs has expired – is pulled<br />
over, police give them 28 days to<br />
become compliant. Of those, 42<br />
per cent actually do.<br />
Nearly 1000 forbidden drivers are<br />
caught in Canterbury each year.<br />
Both Senior Constable Mac-<br />
Kenzie and Senior Constable<br />
Pewhairangi said they joined the<br />
police because they wanted to<br />
help people.<br />
And in spite of what many<br />
people thought, they didn’t enjoy<br />
giving out tickets.<br />
“I stopped one last week, no<br />
registration, no warrant, learner<br />
driver, carrying unauthorised<br />
passengers, the car seat in the<br />
back I didn’t even want to look<br />
at with the wee baby, no L plates,<br />
no driver’s licence. <strong>The</strong>re’s seven.<br />
Where do you start? Where do<br />
you stop?” Senior Constable Mac-<br />
Kenzie said.<br />
She issued the woman with two<br />
tickets and walked away “feeling<br />
rubbish.”<br />
But she knew it had to be done.<br />

Housing plan upsets iwi<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A HOUSING development<br />
proposal set for the rim of the<br />
Cranford basin does not provide<br />
for the cultural well-being of iwi,<br />
says Ngai Tahu.<br />
<strong>The</strong> iwi’s Ngai Tūāhuriri is<br />
unhappy with stormwater from<br />
the development being diverted<br />
into Horseshoe Lake, which is<br />
4km away.<br />
<strong>The</strong> significance of the site<br />
comes from pre-European times<br />
when Waikākāriki/Horseshoe<br />
Lake was the site of a significant<br />
Maori settlement called Te<br />
Oranga.<br />
<strong>The</strong> development is a city<br />
council plan to regenerate about<br />
50ha of former farmland in<br />
Papanui between Winters and<br />
McFaddens Rds.<br />
Up to 420 homes would<br />
be built on the rim of the<br />
development, with the rest of the<br />
basin used for wetlands, cycle<br />
and walkways.<br />
In a bid to stop the likelihood<br />
of flooding in the area, the<br />
plan includes significant flood<br />
prevention methods.<br />
In its submission to the city<br />
council, Ngai Tūāhuriri said the<br />
plan does not provide for the<br />
cultural well-being of the iwi and<br />
REGENERATE: Part of the rural area west of Cranford St could<br />
be redeveloped for housing. <br />
its relationship with Horseshoe<br />
Lake.<br />
But there are currently no<br />
other practical options for<br />
the disposal of the water,<br />
city council staff said.<br />
“However, there have been<br />
preliminary investigations into<br />
whether an alternative outfall<br />
can be found as part of the<br />
regeneration plan for the Avon<br />
River Corridor,” staff said.<br />
City council head of planning<br />
and strategic transport Richard<br />
Osborne said the city council<br />
understands the cultural<br />
significance of Horseshoe Lake<br />
to Ngai Tūāhuriri.<br />
“It is committed to working<br />
closely with the runanga to<br />
try and find an acceptable<br />
alternative solution. Decisions<br />
on potential solutions need to be<br />
considered as part of wider<br />
work streams,” Mr Osborne<br />
said.<br />
Ngai Tūāhuriri could not be<br />
contacted by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council opened the<br />
regeneration plan for public<br />
feedback in May. More than 120<br />
responses were submitted, with<br />
64 in general support, 45 against<br />
and 11 neutral.<br />
<strong>The</strong> draft plan will be put<br />
back to the city council so it<br />
can decide whether to submit to<br />
Regenerate Christchurch.<br />
From there, Regenerate<br />
Christchurch will make a<br />
recommendation to Minister<br />
supporting Great Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Nicky Wagner to<br />
sign off the plan.<br />
Relief in sight for<br />
controversial<br />
intersection<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
TRAFFIC LIGHTS at the<br />
controversial St Andrews Hill<br />
intersection, in Ferrymead, will<br />
be reprogrammed to try and<br />
ease confusion for motorists.<br />
<strong>The</strong> left arrow light at the<br />
Main Rd traffic lights will be<br />
reprogrammed to allow for vehicles<br />
wanting to turn right off<br />
St Andrews Hill Rd onto Bridle<br />
Path Rd a better chance to get<br />
across a lane.<br />
Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton said: “This<br />
will allow St Andrews Hill to<br />
clear without worrying about<br />
unseen traffic coming around<br />
the corner.”<br />
Lights on Main and Bridle<br />
Path Rds will communicate and<br />
allow traffic to flow better.<br />
Residents in the area have<br />
complained about the layout<br />
and design of the intersection<br />
suggesting that it would not<br />
work even before it was built.<br />
Three options were presented<br />
for public consultation last year –<br />
ISAAC THEATRE ROYAL CHRISTCHURCH<br />
25th <strong>July</strong>- 10am, 12pm & 3pm 26th july - 10am & 12pm<br />
BOOK: 0800 TICKETEK www.isaactheatreroyal.co.nz<br />
PRESENTED BY:<br />
640 submissions were received.<br />
Option one proposed to leave<br />
the intersection as is, option two<br />
would see new traffic signals on<br />
St Andrews Hill Rd and new<br />
pre-signals on Bridle Path Rd<br />
and option three is to ban right<br />
turns from Bridle Path Rd onto<br />
Main Rd.<br />
None of these options<br />
were given the green light by<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have decided to change<br />
the light phasing which will be<br />
trialled for three months.<br />
When it starts is yet to be<br />
determined.<br />

Vehicle for free<br />
things to do in city<br />
A REPURPOSED parking<br />
meter in the middle of Cathedral<br />
Square has started issuing tickets<br />
of a very different kind.<br />
Said Gap Filler Co-Founder<br />
Coralie Winn: “<strong>The</strong> Open City<br />
parking meter delivers you<br />
your own Christchurch secret<br />
to explore. It might be a good<br />
climbing tree in the Botanic<br />
Gardens, an interesting courtyard<br />
within a new building, or a great<br />
place to feed the ducks.”<br />
“THese little secrets and more<br />
have been suggested by locals as<br />
well as visitors. Each adventure<br />
helps you get to know your city<br />
better through someone else’s<br />
eyes.”<br />
She said Open City is all about<br />
celebrating the undervalued,<br />
sweet, free things to do in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Open City is a collaboration<br />
between Gap Filler and the All<br />
Right? campaign.<br />
Sue Turner, All Right? manager,<br />
said Open City will help Cantabrians<br />
reconnect with their city.<br />
Ms Turner said each activity<br />

A key part of the Open City<br />
project is encouraging Christchurch<br />
people to contribute their<br />
own ideas of sweet, free things<br />
they love about Christchurch.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Open City website allows<br />
anyone to upload their favourite<br />
sweet, free things to do. If it’s an<br />
activity within the four avenues<br />
it could be issued by the parking<br />
meter,” says Ms Turner.<br />
“We really want to encourage<br />
people to add their Christchurch<br />
secret gems to the website. <strong>The</strong><br />
key thing is they must be free.”<br />
Ms Turner is expecting the<br />
Open City parking meter to be<br />
very popular with families during<br />
the school holidays.<br />
“It’s a great, free family activity<br />
for the holidays. <strong>The</strong>re are already<br />

SMOOTH: ICEcycles co-founder<br />
Steve Muir shows off one of<br />
his many inventions: His latest<br />
cycle-powered blender.<br />
Inventor’s pursuit<br />
ICEcycles volunteers have given away more than 1100 bikes and repaired hundreds<br />
more. Steve Muir, one of its founders, spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about his bicycle<br />
inventions, the cycling church and the car park v cycleway debate<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
So tell me how ICEcycles<br />
works?<br />
We started in 2009 and the<br />
aim is to help people to access<br />
bikes. Often they’ll need a<br />
repair but have been to a bike<br />
shop and couldn’t afford the<br />
price quoted to fix it, but we’ll<br />
do it for free or for a donation,<br />
whatever they can afford. We<br />
hold about five workshops a<br />
year helping to fix people’s<br />
bikes, and a couple of meetings<br />
a month, where we restore<br />
donated bikes to give away. We<br />
have a good group of about 60<br />
or 70 volunteers, and a really<br />
good sense of community. It’s<br />
really fun to be involved with,<br />
because people are so appreciative.<br />
After eight years, are you<br />
starting to run out of people<br />
needing bikes?<br />
No – it’s the opposite.<br />
Demand has gone up exponentially,<br />
so we’ve had to restrict<br />
the area we work in to just the<br />
east of the city, otherwise we<br />
would have had an 18-month<br />
waiting list for bikes – we try<br />
to keep it to a month at the<br />
most.<br />
Who do the bikes go to?<br />
All sorts. We do a lot of kids<br />
bikes, lots of them donated<br />
through the community trusts<br />
and schools around Phillipstown<br />
and Aranui. But we<br />
have the most demand for<br />
large men’s bikes, because lots<br />
of men want bikes but not a lot<br />
are donated. At the workshops,<br />
it’s a real variety, too. We get a<br />
lot of people on low incomes,<br />
but we also get people on high<br />
wages who just don’t know<br />
how to fix their bikes or don’t<br />
have the tools for it.<br />
You must have bikes of all<br />
shapes and sizes donated – is<br />
it difficult to find the right<br />
person for a bike?<br />
Not usually, but we do get<br />
the odd one. One which was<br />
quite weird was a unicycle with<br />
a sort of skateboard outrigger.<br />
We sold that on Trade Me, in<br />
the end. But we’re trying to<br />
help as many people as possible<br />
get on bikes, so we always<br />
try to help. We’ve had a lot of<br />
people who want to ride but<br />
have balancing problems on<br />
a standard bike. You can buy<br />
adult tricycles, but most of<br />
them are more than $1000,<br />
and a lot of people can’t afford<br />
that. So I’ve invented an adult<br />
tricycle prototype for them.<br />
I saw you’ve invested all<br />
kinds of things in the past,<br />
too – like snow chains for<br />
bicycles?<br />
Yes. That was a few years<br />
ago, and the weather’s been<br />
so warm lately, I haven’t had<br />
much opportunity to use<br />
them. My bike trailers are my<br />
most popular creation, but<br />
one of my more recent was a<br />
bike with a blender jug, which<br />
makes a nice fruit smoothie as<br />
you cycle.<br />
That’s amazing – so you<br />
can cycle to work and have a<br />
smoothie ready once you get<br />
there?<br />
Well, the latest is more of a<br />
stationary one.<br />

to bring bicycles to the people<br />
This is my third now. <strong>The</strong> first<br />
one you could bike down the<br />
road on, which was fun, but the<br />
problem was the blender was<br />
fixed in place, so you had to tip<br />
the whole bike upside-down to<br />
pour your smoothie out. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
I built one with the blender on<br />
the back, but then you couldn’t<br />
see when your smoothie was<br />
ready. This one has a removable<br />
blender on the front.<br />
And you create these around<br />
your day job at Christchurch<br />
Hospital. Your job title is<br />
medical physicist – what does<br />
that actually mean?<br />
I do a lot of work with x-ray<br />
machines, and 3D imaging and<br />
3D printing. It’s a lot of technical<br />
problem-solving and work on<br />
development of new products,<br />
finding new solutions to medical<br />
problems. Things like 3D<br />
printing can making treatment<br />
better and more successful<br />
and also save money so it’s easier<br />
for people on low incomes to<br />
access.<br />
Where did your inventing<br />
start – were you constantly<br />
pulling things<br />
apart as a child?<br />
Definitely. A few clocks and a<br />
lot of old electronics. It’s often<br />
the best way to learn, though.<br />
If we have a new volunteer at<br />
ICEcycles, we’ll often get them<br />
stripping the bikes apart first,<br />
so they learn to use the tools<br />
and get familiar with all the<br />
components.<br />
Do you<br />
remember<br />
your first<br />
bike?<br />
Definitely. It was a little blue<br />
single speed. I remember riding<br />
to kindy on my bike by myself<br />
in Gore, where I grew up. I loved<br />
the sense of freedom. It was so<br />
good to be able to go where I<br />
wanted, whenever I wanted.<br />
You were at a fairly<br />
fiery city council<br />
meeting last week,<br />
where a lot of<br />
business owners<br />
argued against the new<br />
cycleways. <strong>The</strong>y are worried<br />
about the loss of car parking –<br />
what are your thoughts on the<br />
debate?<br />
<strong>The</strong> roadways are definitely<br />
the biggest thing I hear is<br />
holding people back from<br />
cycling because people don’t feel<br />
safe enough to battle with cars.<br />
So, I think the impact separated<br />
cycleways will have on getting<br />
people cycling is huge and<br />
worthwhile. Christchurch used<br />
to have more people cycling<br />
than Copenhagen and<br />
Amsterdam, but while they built<br />
cycleways in the 70s, we built<br />
roadways.<br />
You’ve started a cycling<br />
church. Could you tell me<br />
about that?<br />
It started years ago, when<br />
I was discussing with a few<br />
friends from Ilam Baptist<br />
Church why we sit in church in<br />
a darkened room, pulling the<br />
curtains even on a beautiful<br />
day, when we often feel more<br />
spiritually alive biking around<br />
in nature. So I suppose it was<br />
a mindfulness exercise – when<br />
you’re in a beautiful place you<br />
should be appreciating it, but it<br />
was also very tongue-in-cheek.<br />
At one point, it was about 20<br />
people, but I tend to just do<br />
small rides with a few friends<br />
now.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Viewpoint<br />
A way forward for Cathedral<br />
CHRIST CHURCH Cathedral<br />
sits at the very heart of<br />
Christchurch – it’s the city’s<br />
namesake, an icon, a place of<br />
worship, a community facility, a<br />
tourist attraction and a beloved<br />
heritage building.<br />
But, for more than six years,<br />
New Zealand’s most well-known<br />
church has sat in ruins – a sad<br />
and constant reminder of all that<br />
we’ve been through.<br />
It’s a divisive issue and everyone<br />
has an opinion but, one way<br />
or another, a decision must be<br />
made.<br />
That’s why this week I presented<br />
a Government offer of<br />
reinstatement to Bishop Victoria<br />
Matthews.<br />
<strong>The</strong> offer includes a Crown<br />
cash contribution of $10 million<br />
and an interest free suspensory<br />
loan of $15 million, as well as<br />
$10 million from the city council<br />
and $13.7 million from the Great<br />
Christchurch Buildings Trust.<br />
It also includes an independent<br />
fundraising trust, legislation<br />
to streamline the process and a<br />
joint venture to govern and manage<br />
the project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> church would remain, by<br />
far, the biggest contributor with<br />
its insurance payment of $42<br />
million.<br />
Together, we have more than<br />
Nicky Wagner<br />
$90 million — enough to complete<br />
the Cathedral and ancillary<br />
buildings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> offer is not about favouring<br />
reinstatement over restoration or<br />
a contemporary new-build. It’s<br />
about finding a way forward that<br />
doesn’t leave everyone tied up in<br />
court for five to 10 years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bishop and the Synod now<br />
have a clear and detailed option<br />
for consideration, with added security<br />
and certainty, particularly<br />
around funding.<br />
In putting forward this offer,<br />
the Government, city council<br />
and heritage groups are attempting<br />
to break the current stalemate<br />
by balancing the property<br />
rights of the Church with the<br />
historical value of the building<br />
and its economic potential.<br />
This issue effects everyone in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
By reinstating<br />
the Cathedral we<br />
can finally unlock<br />
the city centre and<br />
once again have a<br />
bustling and vibrant<br />
core that attracts<br />
tourists, appeals<br />
to developers and<br />
makes Cantabrians<br />
— and New Zealanders<br />
— proud.<br />

Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
reported frontline police<br />
in Canterbury would have<br />
more weaponry to deal<br />
with dangerous incidents<br />
Brian Godfrey – As I<br />
understand it, many police officers<br />
have rapid access already<br />
to firearms be in their vehicles<br />
or stations. We don’t see these<br />
officers wearing those firearms<br />
unless the incident or event they<br />
are attending requires them to<br />
do so. <strong>The</strong> decision to access and<br />
wear arms is made based on the<br />
officers first hand information or<br />
direction from a more senior officer/NCO<br />
in a control position.<br />
<strong>The</strong> officers with rapid access<br />
are also trained and required<br />
to confirm their understanding<br />
of the rules around the use of<br />
those firearms every time they<br />
access them. I would hate to see<br />
New Zealand move to armed<br />
police as a matter of routine<br />
like so many other countries<br />
do, France, United States, as<br />
a couple of examples. We do<br />
have gun issues here for sure<br />
and arming or not of the police<br />
isn’t going to change that, it<br />
may deter some one from using<br />
a firearm improperly but most<br />
of those who do so now will<br />
continue to do so regardless of<br />
the police being armed or not.<br />
This is not a simple problem and<br />
I don’t know the answer. <strong>The</strong> US<br />
demonstrates how gun control<br />
doesn’t work.<br />

Ann Carey – I understand your<br />
views and I agree with many of<br />
them but unfortunately I feel the<br />
time has come for our police to be<br />
taken far more seriously. Police<br />
are armed in Australia, they wear<br />
side arms and they are taken very<br />
seriously.<br />
Kim Rose Powers – One<br />
side of me says yes. <strong>The</strong>y need<br />
to defend themselves but on the<br />
other side I say no because like in<br />
the States the police are to quick<br />
with their guns and don’t use<br />
them fairly.<br />
Pam Wilson – While I<br />
understand the need pointed<br />
out in this article, one of the<br />
things that has most impressed<br />
me about New Zealand over the<br />
years is that the police have had<br />
no real need to carry weapons.<br />

sit well with me. However, when<br />
the lives of the police are threatened<br />
by weaponry, then their<br />
safety must also be considered. It’s<br />
a catch-22 situation and I’m sorry<br />
that it has come to this in NZ.<br />
Vicki-Anne Parker – Police<br />
need to feel safe and protected on<br />
the streets. Being a former<br />
partner of an officer who has been<br />
assaulted and knowing of others<br />
who have been assaulted on<br />
the job it is just another way for<br />
partners knowing they’re going to<br />
be safe in a very dangerous situation<br />
at last resort. A gun is only<br />
ever used as a last resort when all<br />
other options haven’t worked. I<br />
know that if a stranger was walking<br />
around shooting everywhere,<br />
and if police shot them in the leg<br />
to stop it I would support it for<br />
public safety.<br />
Bryan Flanagan – Sadly, it<br />
is necessary. Some bad will<br />
come of it, but in balance it is<br />
necessary.<br />

Students want to bring change<br />
LAST WEEK my hopes for the<br />
future were boosted by two very<br />
special events in Christchurch.<br />
One was the remarkable<br />
launch of the <strong>2017</strong> Youth<br />
Custody Index by students at St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College<br />
and other was attending the<br />
community awards for people<br />
in the Riccarton, Hornby and<br />
Halswell areas.<br />
Here I saw people who were<br />
committed to making our<br />
neighbourhoods, their city<br />
and their country a better<br />
place. This is something that<br />
we should take time out to<br />
celebrate.<br />
THis year was the fourth that<br />
students from St Thomas have<br />
released their index which uses<br />
the Official Information Act to<br />
compile a snapshot of how well<br />
the justice system is dealing<br />
with young people.<br />
THe impressive young men<br />
who worked on the project<br />
are confronting head-on the<br />
important issue of how our<br />
young people in custody are to<br />
have a voice.<br />
Impressively, they also<br />
managed to bring together<br />
all the country’s watchdogs<br />

Rutherford had shared the<br />
public stage. <strong>The</strong>se young men<br />
are not the leaders of tomorrow<br />
– they’re already leading.<br />
What struck me the most<br />
about these young men was<br />
how much they cared about<br />
their world and wanted to bring<br />
about change that world for the<br />
better.<br />
THis was a sentiment I was<br />
also struck by at the Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board Community Awards.<br />
Here, local people were<br />
honoured for their work in<br />
residents associations, for<br />
delivering meals on wheels,<br />
for advising at citizens advice<br />
bureaus and much more.<br />
As the citations were<br />
read I was doing the mental<br />
arithmetic totting up the<br />
thousands of hours that these<br />
individuals had spent helping<br />
others and their communities<br />
and, most importantly and<br />
even harder to calculate,<br />
making a difference.<br />
We are indeed fortunate to<br />
have all of these people in our<br />
neighbourhoods and in our city.<br />

Viewpoint<br />
Making city 21-century resilient still some way off<br />
YOU PROBABLY saw the announcement<br />
of SCIRT coming to an end.<br />
THis generated howls of protest –<br />
because of course there’s still a lot of work<br />
to be done.<br />
If, like me before I became the mayor,<br />
you thought the Government had agreed<br />
to contribute to fixing every bit of what we<br />
call the horizontal infrastructure (roads<br />
and pipes) damaged by the earthquakes,<br />
you may well be disappointed by that. But<br />
that’s what has happened.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cost Sharing Agreement only<br />
covered ‘eligible’ roading and three-waters<br />
(water, stormwater and wastewater)<br />
infrastructure. And not everything was<br />
eligible.<br />

weren’t covered at all. It would make sense<br />
to get everything done at once, but the<br />
model didn’t allow for that<br />
<strong>The</strong> truth is that the end of the SCIRT<br />
contracting alliance does not mean everything<br />
is now ‘as good as new’ – far from it.<br />
Although the new pipes that have<br />
been laid are now made of much better<br />
materials capable of withstanding future<br />
earthquakes, there is still more to be done,<br />
so the promise of a 21st-century resilient<br />
city is still some way off.<br />

<strong>The</strong> good news about SCIRT is that we<br />
now have really great information about<br />
the state of our infrastructure. For example,<br />
we now have CCTV surveys of approximately<br />
43 per cent of our wastewater<br />
network. Having data like this provides<br />
the tools to develop the best asset management<br />
system in the country.<br />
<strong>The</strong> SCIRT alliance pays for any defects<br />
we find in the next 12 months, but funding<br />
now reverts to the usual local government<br />
arrangements. This means NZTA<br />
funds half the costs of approved roading<br />
projects. But for the pipes and pump stations,<br />
we are back to funding these on our<br />
own.<br />
We have set up a Three Waters Capital<br />
Programme Directorate to better manage<br />
the city’s water, stormwater and wastewater<br />
systems. And we are developing an<br />
integrated asset management system.<br />
SCIRT may have finished and there may<br />
still be more to do. But with improved<br />
data, delivery, and your ideas feeding into<br />
the Long Term Plan, we can deliver that<br />
21st-century resilient city we were promised<br />
– it’s just going to take more time.<br />

Helen Baker – This decision is worrying,<br />
another large quake could put<br />
everyone in the building at risk as it will<br />
not meet the new building codes. Plus it is<br />
a horrible unsuitable building for patients<br />
and staff. Just hope I never become a<br />
patient.<br />
Stephen Leitch – <strong>The</strong> old Riverside<br />
block was opened by Rob Muldoon back<br />
in 1978 according to the plaque on the<br />
wall and is way past its use by date as I<br />
was advised before the quakes working<br />
the site in security.<br />
Jean Gardiner – Working in the Riverside<br />
block with the windows that don’t<br />
shut properly, the heating that doesn’t go<br />
on half the heaters and won’t go off on<br />
the other half, and the freezing draughts<br />
throughout the building in the middle of<br />
the night is horrible and demoralising.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building itself is disgusting. Where is<br />
the money going to come from to repair<br />
this and to maintain it in the future?<br />
Let’s get real and use money for treating<br />
patients and not paying for glue and tape<br />
to keep holding the building together.<br />
Sarah O’Keefe – I’ve spent time as<br />
a patient in two wards of the Riverside<br />
building, it needs to be pulled down. It’s<br />
disgusting.

GARDENING<br />
ADVICE with<br />
We have three fl owering cherry trees<br />
QUESTION in our section. <strong>The</strong>y appear to be<br />
sending out roots which are coming<br />
up in other parts of the garden. What is the best way to stop<br />
this happening? I cut them back as soon they appear but<br />
the little devils grow so fast. Will they cause any<br />
damage to our new drive? And does cutting them back<br />
have any effect on the trees?<br />
Today’s winning question<br />
came from Patrick Duggan.<br />
Congratulations!<br />
It is quite common<br />
ANSWER for some cherry trees<br />
(depending on the root<br />
stock they are grafted on), to have suckers or<br />
vegetative growth emerging from near ground level<br />
and sometimes from the roots of the cherry tree.<br />
This growth should be cut back when it becomes<br />
apparent, otherwise it will grow quite quickly and consume<br />
energy that would otherwise be available to the fl owering<br />
cherry.<br />
In some instances, this suckering growth only occurs when trees are quite juvenile, and other times it may<br />
continue for a number of years.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no danger to the cherry tree in cutting this growth back, in fact quite the opposite. Do not be concerned<br />
for your driveway; while the growth you outline is a nuisance, as long as it’s controlled quite quickly and regularly,<br />
there should be little or no chance of actual physical damage to surrounding pathways or driveways.<br />

More than one way to grow strawberries<br />
EDIBLE GARDENS have never<br />
been more popular and one of the<br />
easiest of fruits to cultivate is the<br />
strawberry.<br />
Because of their compact habit,<br />
strawberries can be grown in hanging<br />
baskets, containers or the aptlynamed<br />
strawberry pots, as well as<br />
the usual raised-up garden beds.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can begin cropping in a<br />
matter of weeks and will go on<br />
producing for much of the year,<br />
especially in warmer areas.<br />
•Strawberries in the garden –<br />
Choose a sunny position<br />
that hasn’t grown strawberries<br />
for a number of years and dig in<br />
some organic compost.<br />
Plant strawberry runners or<br />
seedlings into raised-up mounds,<br />
and apply a layer of mulch. It<br />
important it is to mulch the plants,<br />
both to retain moisture and to<br />
keep the fruit cleanly above the<br />
soil. Pea straw or lucerne hay<br />
make a good a mulch.<br />
Remove runners, unless you<br />
want to use them to propagate<br />
some new plants (which should be<br />
done every three years or so).<br />
•Strawberries in pots – <strong>Star</strong>t by<br />
choosing a suitable container. Fill<br />
with a top quality potting<br />
mix and plant the strawberries.<br />
Water in well.<br />
Feed occasionally with plant<br />
food and watch out for snails and<br />
slugs.<br />
•Strawberries in hanging<br />
baskets – This is a fun way to<br />
grow strawberries, but the main<br />
challenge with growing any plant<br />
in a hanging basket is that it’s<br />
much more vulnerable to drying<br />
out. Line moss baskets with plastic<br />
sheet and poke holes for drainage.<br />
Fill with a hanging basket mix<br />
which contains added soil wetters<br />
and water-storing crystals. Ripe<br />
berries look particularly decorative<br />
dangling from a basket (right).<br />

Opera singer on path to greatness<br />
.kiwi<br />
Thursday <strong>July</strong> 6 <strong>2017</strong><br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
AN EMERGING opera singer<br />
is one step closer to achieving<br />
her ultimate dream of one day<br />
performing at the Metropolitan<br />
Opera House in New York City.<br />
From the moment Elisabeth<br />
Harris, 30, scored a free ticket to<br />
see Giacomo Puccini’s Madama<br />
Butterfly in her early teens, she<br />
knew the dramatic life of opera<br />
was for her.<br />
“Opera is ridiculous. <strong>The</strong><br />
things that happen in three<br />
hours, it is just over the top, but<br />
I love that, I can’t get enough,”<br />
she said.<br />
Nearly 20 years later, the<br />
mezzo soprano, who grew up in<br />
Opawa, will travel to the United<br />
States in September to train<br />
under former leading New York<br />
City Opera company singer Ruth<br />
Golden at the Manhattan School<br />
of Music.<br />
Harris is currently based in<br />
Wellington where she runs her<br />
own music teaching business.<br />
She will hold a special farewell<br />
concert in Christchurch on<br />
August 20, featuring some of her<br />
favourite opera pieces, including<br />
music from Carmen and<br />
composers Benjamin Britten and<br />
Wolfgang Mozart.<br />
<strong>The</strong> show will feature performances<br />
from singer Ingrid<br />
Fomison-Nurse, pianist Anna<br />
Maksymova, 13-year-old violinist<br />
Justin Hodges and soprano<br />
singer Jayden Walker.<br />
UPCOMING: Elisabeth Harris at the New Zealand Aria competition in Rotorua with the Auckland<br />
Philharmonia Orchestra.<br />
With a love of fashion and<br />
picking up quirky pieces online<br />
and at op-shops, Harris does not<br />
look like your typical traditional<br />
opera singer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are so many opera singers<br />
trying to make it, you have<br />
got to have a point of difference,<br />
and if I am remembered as the<br />
girl with the crazy hair, so be it,”<br />
she said.<br />
Harris’ endeavour to complete<br />
her Masters of Music overseas<br />
has been nearly two years in the<br />
making after she deferred her<br />
acceptance to the Manhattan<br />
School of Music to raise further<br />
funds and be with her terminally<br />
ill father.<br />
Her father Geoff was diagnosed<br />
with early-onset Alzheimer’s<br />
disease and died just before<br />
his 55th birthday in December.<br />
“I am sure he would be happy<br />
I am following my dreams . . . it<br />
was a bit of a problem for him<br />
initially having a daughter on the<br />
stage but he got his head around<br />
it,” she said.<br />
While Harris said she inherited<br />
her father’s sense of humour,<br />
he was quite shy and didn’t like<br />
to be the centre of attention,<br />
which made for an interesting<br />
combination when his daughter<br />
first wanted to be on the stage.<br />
But she has fond memories of<br />
the last recital she performed for<br />
her father at <strong>The</strong> Piano last year.<br />
“He still remembered me and<br />
was so happy for me and what I<br />
was doing – it was really exciting,”<br />
she said.<br />
She said it would be fabulous<br />
to be up on stage at the Metropolitan<br />
Opera House, and<br />
her main goals are to become a<br />
professional opera singer, keep<br />
teaching and possibly start her<br />
own young artist programme.<br />
•Mezzo to Manhattan<br />
will be held from 2pm on<br />
Sunday, August 20, at Knox<br />
Church.<br />
Door sales cost $30.<br />
To book, phone Lynne<br />
Havenaar on 960 4090 or<br />

Ali Harper delights audience with her Songs For Nobodies<br />
Songs For Nobodies by<br />
Joanna Murray-Smith,<br />
directed by Ross Gumbley,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre.<br />
Reviewed by Barry<br />
Southam<br />
IT TAKES a class performer<br />
to stand alone on a stage for<br />
an hour and a half and keep an<br />
audience captivated.<br />
Ali Harper does just that with<br />
Songs For Nobodies.<br />
Her rendition of Edith Piaf,<br />
the little sparrow, was top<br />
drawer. Although Piaf’s rough<br />
edge was not quite there, it was<br />
still a very recognisable version<br />
of her famous forebear.<br />
Again, a full-throated Come<br />
Rain Or Shine brought back<br />
memories of that gutsy singer<br />
Judy Garland, who could always<br />
belt out a number.<br />
Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit,<br />
was a good contrast to Ain’t<br />
Nobody’s Business If I Do and<br />
Patsy Kline’s performance<br />
at the Soldiers and Sailors<br />
Memorial Hall in 1962 was<br />
well reproduced, providing the<br />
largest selection of the night,<br />
including the classic Stand By<br />
Your Man.<br />
To complete the quintet<br />
of famous singers, there was<br />
the challenging Vissi d’arte<br />
from Puccini’s Tosca by Maria<br />
Callas on board the Christina<br />
somewhere in the Mediterranean<br />
on August 3, 1957. It was given<br />
the full volume treatment, no<br />
easy task.<br />
<strong>The</strong> range of styles is<br />
formidable but Harper<br />
handled the transitions with<br />
apparent ease, seeming just as<br />
comfortable with jazz as<br />
with opera or country and<br />
western.<br />
Musical director Richard<br />
Marrett should be well<br />
pleased with the results of<br />
their collaboration, as should<br />
writer, Australian Joanna<br />
Murray-Smith, who only gave<br />
permission for the rights for the<br />
play to be performed in New<br />
Zealand if Harper undertook the<br />
demanding role.<br />

BUSY: <strong>The</strong> crowds of Shibuya are a warm-up to the throbbing entertainment mecca of Shinjuku (centre). Try the Robot Restaurant.<br />
Explore Tokyo’s entertainment mecca<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
LIKE MUCH of Tokyo, the<br />
once war-torn moonscape of<br />
Shibuya is a glitzy, buzzing<br />
district of skyscrapers, shops and<br />
entertainment.<br />
Outside the railway station, I<br />
ventured to Shibuya Crossing,<br />
nicknamed <strong>The</strong> Scramble, which<br />
lays claim to being the world’s<br />
busiest pedestrian crossing.<br />
I’ll take their word for it.<br />
Beneath the dancing blaze of<br />
giant video screens, watching the<br />
sea of humanity cross the street,<br />
from all quarters, is a stunningly<br />
engrossing spectacle, like massmovement<br />
ballet.<br />
By the time the next light phase<br />
rolls round, each street corner has<br />
been fully reloaded with a fresh<br />
stock of humanity, like a seamless<br />
video loop. Braving the crowds<br />
of Shibuya is a warm-up for the<br />
throbbing, pulsating entertainment<br />
mecca of Shinjuku.<br />
Over 3 million people pass<br />
through the world’s busiest train<br />
station each day, and Shinjuku’s<br />
entertainment excesses sprawl<br />
to the east, in a head-spinning<br />
spangle of neon-drenched lighting<br />
and LED screens. Strip-clubs,<br />
pachinko parlours, jazz bars, love<br />
hotels, fetish bars and cabarets all<br />
jostle for attention in notorious<br />
Kabukicho, Tokyo’s notorious<br />
red-light district.<br />
Don’t flash your wallet too<br />
openly in these parts – and males<br />
on their own can expect plenty of<br />
attention from big-talking touts.<br />
Adjoining Kabukicho are the<br />
evocative alleyways of Golden<br />
Gai, a throwback to Tokyo’s earlier<br />
days, home to a time-warped<br />
tumble of tiny drinking dens,<br />
many who hook punters in with<br />
trademark gimmicks, whether<br />
it’s a signature drink, off-the-wall<br />
décor or outlandish staff costumes,<br />
like troll toys or hospital uniforms.<br />
Champion and Albatross are<br />
two of the tourist favourites, but<br />
aside from these larger bars, gawp<br />
up a few staircases to see what<br />
takes your fancy. Shinjuku is also<br />
home to the mesmerising and<br />
glittery escapism of the Robot<br />
Restaurant.<br />

Capable Subaru<br />
for on or off-road<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
I’M OFTEN asked if I<br />
would like to take a long<br />
road trip to form a media<br />
vehicle evaluation.<br />
That was the case when<br />
I eagerly accepted an<br />
opportunity to drive the<br />
new Subaru Impreza XV<br />
back to Auckland after last<br />
week’s media launch in<br />
Napier.<br />
I’m so pleased I did, for<br />
it was a fabulous drive and<br />
one which really proved<br />
how capable the XV is on<br />
the highway. I can also<br />
report it is a competent<br />
vehicle off the seal - the<br />
launch provided the opportunity<br />
to tackle some<br />
shingle roads - and on the<br />
long haul back to Auckland<br />
I stopped at a friend’s home<br />
south of Hamilton who has<br />
a driveway that is steep and<br />
muddy, the XV was in its<br />
element with 220mm of<br />
ground clearance and fourwheel-drive.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new XV was a long<br />
time coming, it’s roughly<br />
been a five-year life cycle<br />
and that’s about as long<br />
as you would expect a<br />
manufacturer to produce a<br />
variant in today’s market.<br />
Nevertheless, the newcomer<br />
was worth the wait,<br />
it arrives here in two levels<br />
– Sport and Premium<br />
– both are keenly priced<br />
at $34,990 and $39,990<br />
respectively, which by my<br />
reckoning are the bargains<br />
of the mid-size crossover/<br />
sport utility vehicle market.<br />
<strong>The</strong> XV is a compact<br />
SUV, it’s not a big car but<br />
there is adequate room for<br />
five, and given increased<br />
underhatch proportions<br />
there’s enough room to<br />
pack the tent and camping<br />
gear for the high-country<br />
fishing trip.<br />
<strong>The</strong> XV certainly hasn’t<br />
lost any of its X-factor, it<br />
is a stunning looker with<br />
chunky, bold and almost<br />
aggressive styling. It has an<br />
in-your-face wheel design<br />
which promotes a can-do<br />
look, and it has a wilful<br />
driving feel.<br />
Under the bonnet sits<br />
a 2-litre, horizontallyopposed,<br />
four-cylinder<br />
engine, both models drive<br />
through a continuously<br />
variable automatic transmission<br />
with a seven-step,<br />
paddle-shift function.<br />
<strong>The</strong> XV’s engine is rated<br />
with 115kW of power<br />
(6000rpm) and 196Nm<br />
of torque available at<br />
4000rpm. <strong>The</strong> way the<br />
engine works through CVT<br />
SUBARU IMPREZA XV: Four-wheel-drive for all<br />
conditions.<br />
is uninhibited, and it is<br />
dynamic in the respect that<br />
it pulls happily no matter<br />
what point the engine revolutions<br />
are operating at.<br />
Response to throttle<br />
request is decisive. I kept at<br />
a steady pace which meant<br />
several highway overtakes,<br />
and the power comes in<br />
freely without strain nor<br />
much sound in total.<br />
• Price – Subaru<br />
Impreza XV, $34,990<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 4465mm;<br />
width, 1800mm;<br />
height, 1615mm<br />
• Configuration<br />
– Four-cylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
1995cc, 115kW,<br />
196Nm, continuously<br />
variable automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9.6.sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
7l/100km<br />
If you listen hard you<br />
can detect the harmonics<br />
which accompany the<br />
boxer engine design, but it<br />
is well isolated and far from<br />
intrusive.<br />
<strong>The</strong> engine is free-revving<br />
and responsive, but<br />
the beauty of the flat-four<br />
engine is its ability to work<br />
low down, and with the<br />
inclusion of CVT it quickly<br />
settles into a low revving<br />
pattern.<br />
Against the stopwatch<br />
the XV will launch to<br />
100km/h from a standstill<br />
in 9.6sec and will make<br />
120km/h from 80km/h in<br />
5.8sec. <strong>The</strong>se are satisfactory<br />
figures which will give<br />
peace of mind.<br />
Subaru claims a sevenlitre<br />
per 100km (40mpg)<br />
combined cycle fuel usage<br />
average, development work<br />
on the boxer engine to<br />
keep it fuel-friendly has<br />
been ongoing and that<br />
certainly showed during<br />
my long highway haul.<br />
At 100km/h it sips fuel at<br />
the rate of just 5l/100km<br />
(56mpg) with the engine<br />
turning over slowly at just<br />
1550rpm. My entire Napier<br />
to Auckland average was<br />
7.7l/100km (37mpg) which<br />
I thought was most impressive.<br />
Through lack of familiarity<br />
and the threat of<br />
ice, I didn’t push the XV<br />
too hard into the tight<br />
and twisty sections of the<br />
Central Plateau, but I can<br />
report that it steers with<br />
precision and has accuracy<br />
and balance which seems<br />
quite unnatural for a vehicle<br />
which is over 1.6m tall.<br />
Even though it sits high,<br />
the centre of gravity is still<br />
low, that’s a by-product<br />
of the flat-four engine,<br />
the weight sits low in the<br />
engine bay and that has a<br />
beneficial affect against the<br />
force of gravity.<br />
Subaru has upspecced<br />
the new generation model.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a raft of new gear<br />
including Eyesight – a<br />
computer-guided safety<br />
technology – Apple Car<br />
Play and Android Auto<br />
are fitted, along with the<br />
clever X-mode drive system<br />
which improves driver<br />
control on rough roads,<br />
steep terrain and slippery<br />
surfaces through integrated<br />
control of the engine. On<br />
the downhill slope at my<br />
friend’s home, hill descent<br />
control kept the XV at slow,<br />
steady speed.<br />
All of these inclusions sit<br />
over and above the normal<br />
features you would expect<br />
in today’s modern car and,<br />
of course, the XV gets a<br />
five-star Australasian New<br />
Car Assessment Program<br />
safety rating.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new model will be<br />
in showroom floors later<br />
this month which is just<br />
in time for the winter ski<br />
season. I know it’s been a<br />
popular car on the skifield<br />
access roads since its inception,<br />
and with Subaru sales<br />
buoyant in the South Island<br />
I can see its value and capability<br />
tempting to a large<br />
cross-section of buyers.<br />

Nate Myles to make Melbourne Storm debut off bench<br />
VETERAN PROP Nate Myles<br />
is set to make his Melbourne<br />
Storm debut after being named<br />
on the bench to face the<br />
Parramatta Eels on Saturday<br />
night.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 230-game former<br />
Queensland forward made a<br />
mid-season move to Melbourne<br />
from Manly and has been<br />
recovering from a dislocated<br />
elbow.<br />
But a strong showing in the<br />
Queensland Cup last weekend,<br />
plus the loss of six Storm players<br />
to Queensland’s State of Origin<br />
side, has led to Myles being<br />
added to the Storm’s starting 17<br />
this round, <strong>The</strong> Sydney Morning<br />
Herald reported.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Storm won’t confirm<br />
their final side until game<br />
day but Myles’ leadership and<br />
experience is seen as an asset<br />
with captain Cameron Smith,<br />
Cooper Cronk, Billy Slater, Tim<br />
Glasby, Will Chambers and<br />
Cameron Munster all missing<br />

<strong>The</strong> Eels have lost no players<br />

Another mid-season Storm<br />
signing, former South Sydney<br />
forward Robbie Rochow, has<br />
made the 21 outside the game<br />
day side, but could still<br />
come into the team later in the<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />
ONE OF the country’s most<br />
experienced whistle-blowers<br />
has celebrated 25 years in the<br />
craft by officiating in his 1000th<br />
game.<br />
Marc Anderson, 55, began<br />
refereeing football in 1992 after a<br />
stint playing the game in the 80s<br />
and early 90s.<br />
“I played to an extremely<br />
average level. I was one of those<br />
players who thought he was a lot<br />
better than he actually was and I<br />
had the attitude to match that as<br />
well,” said Anderson.<br />
His decision to take up<br />
refereeing came on the back of<br />
multiple concussions in 1991,<br />
the last of which caused him to<br />
end up in hospital. Faced with<br />
potentially not being able to play<br />
the game, he took a refereeing<br />
test, which he passed with flying<br />
colours.<br />
“My first game was at Lower<br />
Linwood Fields in April, 1992.<br />
I remember it vividly – it was<br />
absolutely bucketing down and<br />
it was an under-18 match,” said<br />
Anderson.<br />
“I was mentored in the early<br />
stages by our late patron Ivan<br />
Billcliff. If it wasn’t for him, I<br />
probably wouldn’t have stayed in<br />
the game as long as I have.”<br />
From there, Anderson moved<br />
to Ashburton and spent a<br />
number of years refereeing in<br />
Mid-Canterbury.<br />
“I got into it pretty full-on<br />
down there. It would be nothing<br />
on a Saturday to do four to five<br />
games. You’d start in the morning<br />
with a 15th grade, then a<br />
17th and a 19th, and you would<br />
end up doing a senior game later<br />
on,” he said.<br />
“By the time Saturday evening<br />
rolled around, you were pretty<br />
OFFICIAL: Marc Anderson has become just the second<br />
Mainland referee to officiate 1000 games.<br />
knackered.”<br />
Anderson’s most memorable<br />
tournament also came during<br />
his time in Mid-Canterbury<br />
when Ashburton hosted the<br />
1994 Japan Cup.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament was a 12th<br />
grade competition played over a<br />
week. It featured two teams from<br />
Japan and around 20 teams from<br />
the South Island. Just a couple of<br />
days before it was due to begin,<br />
the fields were covered in 15cm<br />
of snow.<br />
“We had six fields which had<br />
the snow graded off them and<br />
pushed up along the side line, so<br />
they looked like six little bowls.<br />
I’ve never refereed in colder<br />
conditions,” said Anderson.<br />
His 1000th match came last<br />
month in a Canterbury Championship<br />
League game between<br />
Selwyn UFC and Christchurch<br />
United. He became just the second<br />
Mainland Football referee<br />
to bring up the milestone.<br />
“I got a round of applause<br />
from both teams, which was a<br />
nice touch.”<br />
Believe it or not, in his 25<br />
years in charge of games Anderson<br />
has only ever had hands laid<br />
on him once.<br />
“I’ve had plenty of people yell<br />
and scream at me, but people<br />
usually only do that once because<br />
they generally get to warm<br />
their car up or see if the showers<br />
are working,” said Anderson.<br />
Following this season, Anderson<br />
plans on hanging up his<br />
boots and spending more time<br />
coaching and mentoring young<br />
referees.<br />
When asked what has changed<br />
most over his 25-year career,<br />
he had this to say: “It’s basically<br />
the same, there’s just less hair<br />
and more weight than when I<br />
started,” Anderson joked.<br />
“After 25 years, you become<br />
a bit like a good No 8 in rugby.<br />
He knows how to cover the<br />
ground smartly and you get a<br />
sense of where the ball is going<br />
to be before it gets there,” said<br />
Anderson.<br />
“I just love everything about<br />
the game – 99 per cent of the<br />
time it’s been an absolute joy.”<br />
Nel continues to dominate metro competition<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SOUTH AFRICAN Dylan<br />
Nel continues to dominant the<br />
MVP race in the metro club<br />
competition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sumner No 8 scored two<br />
tries and set up another during<br />
Sumner’s 28-9 win over High<br />
School Old Boys at the weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 24-year-old now has 11 tries<br />
for Sumner this season to lead all<br />
scorers in the metro competition.<br />
In the MVP medal standings, he<br />
has 19 points this season, six more<br />
than his nearest rival.<br />
“He’s got an ability to break<br />
tackles because he’s so big and<br />
strong, but then he also has a lot of<br />
speed for a big guy,” said Sumner<br />
coach Martin Dodgson.<br />
Nel made the move to Sumner<br />
from South Africa to further develop<br />
his game and is currently in<br />
his third season with the club.<br />
He led the team with 10 tries<br />
last season – a feat he has already<br />
eclipsed in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
It’s no secret that Nel is highly<br />
thought of by many in higher<br />
ranks.<br />
Earlier this year, he was rushed<br />
to South Africa as injury cover for<br />
the Crusaders when Kieran Read<br />
broke his thumb.<br />
Nel has also been given a<br />
handful of opportunities for<br />
Canterbury, including their recent<br />
Ranfurly Shield defence over<br />
Wanganui.<br />
It’s expected he will play a big<br />
role for the provincial side later<br />
this year.<br />
“Who knows where his ceiling<br />
is. He is just so single-minded<br />
in his desire to get better,” said<br />
Dodgson.<br />

Crusaders v Highlanders ‘friendly’ before finals<br />
THE CRUSADERS will play the<br />
Highlanders for the third time<br />
this season in a warm-up game in<br />
Timaru today.<br />
<strong>The</strong> game is in preparation for<br />
the final round of Super Rugby’s<br />
regular season next week,<br />
followed by the start of the finals<br />
series in which both teams are<br />
guaranteed a spot.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team will be captained by<br />
No 8 Jordan Taufua, with fellow<br />
loose-forward Heiden Bedwell-<br />
Curtis and reserve halfback Bryn<br />
Hall as his vice-captains.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘friendly’ will be an<br />
opportunity for a number of<br />
players to return to play for the<br />
Crusaders following injuries<br />
earlier in the season, including<br />
Tim Perry, who will start at<br />
loose-head prop; Mitchell<br />
Dunshea, who will start at lock;<br />
and outside backs Jone Macilai<br />
and Digby Ioane, who will come<br />
off the bench.<br />

Crusaders squad – Chris Gawler,<br />
Jonno Osbourne, Shannon<br />
Frizell, Braydon Ennor and<br />
Vernon Fredericks – will also get<br />
the chance to have a run off the<br />
bench.<br />
Coach Scott Robertson says<br />
the game is a great chance for the<br />
team to reconnect as they head<br />
into the next phase of the Super<br />
Rugby competition.<br />
“After a month with no<br />
fixtures, the team is fizzing<br />
and ready to take the field on<br />
Thursday,” said Robertson.<br />
This game will be a great<br />
opportunity for us to find our<br />
rhythm again and test our match<br />
readiness against a top quality<br />
side.”<br />

3pm.<br />

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

Your Earthquake<br />
damaged home!<br />
Talk to us if you are serious about<br />
selling your “As is Where is” home.<br />
We have sold over<br />
100 “As is Where is”<br />
homes and we have<br />
a huge database of<br />
qualified buyers.<br />
We have<br />
achieved record<br />
breaking prices<br />
recently!<br />
<strong>The</strong> Best Kept Secrets<br />
to Selling Your Home<br />
Selling Secret #1: <strong>The</strong> first impression is the<br />
only impression<br />
No matter how good the interior of your home looks,<br />
buyers have already judged your home before they walk<br />
through the door. You never have a second chance to<br />
make a first impression. It’s important to make people<br />
feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the<br />
house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive<br />
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also<br />
important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and<br />
keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by<br />
putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.<br />
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show<br />
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you<br />
never know when your buyer is going to walk through<br />
the door. You have to be available whenever they want<br />
to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape.<br />
Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher<br />
cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure<br />
there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little<br />
inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.<br />
Selling Secret #3: <strong>The</strong> kitchen comes first<br />
You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling<br />
your kitchen – that’s how important it is. <strong>The</strong> benefits of<br />
remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part<br />
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.<br />
It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops<br />
where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking<br />
price if your kitchen looks dated. <strong>The</strong> fastest, most<br />
inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new<br />
cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can<br />
present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start<br />
envisioning their own style. If you have a little money<br />
to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why<br />
one? Because when people see one high-end appliance<br />
they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates<br />
the kitchen.<br />
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house<br />
One of the most important things to do when selling<br />
your house is to de-personalize it. <strong>The</strong> more personal<br />
stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can<br />
imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your<br />
stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,<br />
memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.<br />
Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best<br />
showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.<br />
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade<br />
Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth<br />
makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your<br />
money back if you do a huge improvement project before<br />
you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates<br />
that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh<br />
coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy<br />
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,<br />
cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track,<br />
fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.<br />
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters<br />
You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts<br />
of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody<br />
is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your<br />
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty<br />
litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes.<br />
It will give buyers the impression that your house is not<br />
clean. If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your<br />
pets around.<br />
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field<br />
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.<br />
Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y must constantly monitor the multiple listing<br />
service (MLS), know what properties are going on the<br />
market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find<br />
an agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one<br />
has many tools to get your house sold.<br />
Selling Secret #8: Light it up<br />
Maximize the light in your home. After location, good<br />
light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they<br />
want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the<br />
windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage<br />
of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let<br />
in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house<br />
bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.<br />
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets<br />
Storage is something every buyer is looking for and<br />
can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of<br />
your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there.<br />
Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and<br />
cabinets clean and tidy.<br />

Yes, everyone is saying sales have slowed<br />
down with solicitors saying that contracts<br />
coming in are noticeably fewer and the<br />
Christchurch City Council LIMS taking only a<br />
couple of days. In fact today as I write this<br />
there are only 39 LIM applications showing.<br />
But there are definitely buyers out there, a<br />
lot of them pre-approved and just waiting<br />
to find their new home. It is an excellent<br />
time to do real estate business if you are<br />
buying and selling on the same market.<br />
DOING A REAL ESTATE<br />
TRANSACTION IN WINTER<br />
It’s not for everyone, but it is an excellent<br />
time to sell. <strong>The</strong>re are always buyers in the<br />
market and winter buyers are usually very<br />
serious and motivated to be out in all<br />
weathers. <strong>The</strong> number of houses available<br />
is usually less which gives you an advantage<br />
over those who may decide to sell in Spring.<br />
Viewing a house in winter will give a buyer<br />
the opportunity to see how it performs in<br />
terms of winter sun, heating and insulation.<br />
Some buyers prefer to buy in winter.<br />
Presentation is always important inside and<br />
out, so do you best to show your home in its<br />
very best light. Ensure you have done any<br />
small maintenance jobs such as cleaning the<br />
guttering or chimney.<br />

10 Common CV Mistakes<br />
Did you know the average time recruiters<br />
spend analysing a CV is: 5 to 7 seconds?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are too many myths and false ideas<br />
about what your CV should include. Ensure<br />
those precious seconds allow you to stand<br />
apart from the rest. Make sure your CV is<br />
top-notch by avoiding these top 10 CV<br />
mistakes.<br />
1. Too focused on Job Duties<br />
One of the most common CV mistakes is to<br />
turn your CV into a dull list of job duties and<br />
responsibilities. Instead you should:<br />
• Demonstrate how you made a difference at<br />
each company<br />
• Provide specific examples of how the<br />
company benefited from your performance<br />
2. Objective Statement that is Too<br />
General<br />
• Many candidates lose their readers from<br />
the very beginning of the CV with their<br />
objective statement<br />
• Consider using a tagline which is a<br />
statement of what you do or what your<br />
specialty is<br />
3. Too Short or Too Long<br />
• Don’t try and squeeze everything onto one<br />
page because you’ve heard that a CV<br />
should never be longer than one page.<br />
That’s a myth!<br />
• Don’t ramble either, your reader will get<br />
bored and give up<br />
• Only include information about yourself that<br />
will get you an interview<br />
4. Use of “I” and “Me”<br />
• CVs should be concise<br />
• Don’t refer to yourself in first person<br />

5. Listing Personal or Irrelevant<br />
Information<br />
• Only include your hobbies and interests if<br />
they relate to the job<br />
• Personal information such as date of birth<br />
and marital status don’t need to be included<br />
6. <strong>The</strong> Layout<br />
One of the most effective CV formats is the<br />
modified chronological type. Here is the basic<br />
layout:<br />
• Header (name, address, email address,<br />
phone number)<br />
• Objective Statement or Tagline<br />
• A strong profile section (detailing your<br />
experience and skills)<br />
• Reverse chronological employment history<br />
(nothing past 10-15 years ago)<br />
• Education<br />
• Only list hobbies/community activities/<br />
memberships if its relevant to the job<br />
7. Not Including a Profile Summary<br />
• A profile summary should demonstrate the<br />
skill level and experiences directly related to<br />
the position<br />
• To create a high-impact summary statement,<br />
read numerous job adverts to determine<br />
what features are important to employers<br />
• Write a list of your matching skills,<br />
experience, and education. <strong>The</strong>se selling<br />
points should be incorporated into the<br />
summary.<br />

Caroline Kellaway with<br />
Ian Brook (new President) and<br />
Gordon Reid (life member)<br />
RECENT Club Elections has seen long<br />
term Club President Caroline Kellaway<br />
step down after an impressive 25 years<br />
in office.<br />
Working Men’s Clubs were<br />
traditionally male domains that women<br />
were not allowed to join.<br />
It was not until the late 80's that rules<br />
changed and women were allowed to<br />
join Clubs and permitted access to the<br />
main drinking bars.<br />
Women as Board Members , in<br />
particular Club President, was unheard<br />
of. That was until 1992 when Caroline<br />
Kellaway was appointed President of the<br />
Woolston WMC, making her NZ’s first<br />
ever female president of a Chartered<br />
Club.<br />
During her extensive time in office<br />
Caroline has worked tirelessly to get the<br />
Club to the where it is now.<br />
“Keeping the Club spirit alive has<br />
always been my main goal, especially<br />
following the earthquakes,” said<br />
Caroline. “We’re community minded and<br />
lost many members through red zoning.<br />
We still contend with bad roads. I’ve<br />
worked long and hard to make sure we<br />
get things upgraded for our members.<br />
I’m pleased to step down with the Club<br />
refurbished and a new restaurant.”<br />
Aside from decades of devoted<br />
involvement with the Woolston Club,<br />
Caroline’s resume includes Vice-<br />
President of Clubs NZ; Chairperson of<br />
Clubs NZ Sports Council; a member of<br />
the Burwood-Pegasus Community<br />
Board; and is a Justice of the Peace. She<br />
has also held roles as a judicial bench JP<br />
and NZ Prison Visiting Justice. In 2008<br />
she was awarded an ONZM for services<br />
in the community.<br />
Caroline says she will remain strongly<br />
involved with the Club and has already<br />
started her next project compiling and<br />
recording the Woolston Club’s history.<br />
Former Vice President Ian Brook has<br />
been appointed new Club Present.<br />
