Murdered woman
caught on camera
• By Andrew King
POLICE HAVE released the last
known photo of murder victim
Renee Duckmanton (above).
The image shows the 22-yearold
sex worker walking along
Peterborough St, not far from
the Margaret Mahy Family
Playground, shortly after 9pm
on Sunday, May 14.
She was wearing sneakers, a
white top and a dark-coloured
jacket.
Ms Duckmanton’s badly
burnt body was found on
Main Rakaia Rd, near State
Highway 1, just north of
Rakaia, about 7.40pm the following
day.
Detective Inspector Darryl
Sweeney said yesterday it is believed
Ms Duckmanton arrived
in the area near the playground
shortly after 8.30pm.
“At approximately 9pm, Renee
walked across Manchester
St and into Peterborough St,”
Detective Inspector Darryl
Sweeney said.
Police have released little information
about the progress in
finding Ms Duckmanton’s killer
or killers.
Said Detective Inspector
Sweeney: “What I have released
today is the only detail I can
release at present. The lack of
information (released) is by no
means unusual. It’s standard
practice.”
He would not say if police
were following any strong leads.
Ms Duckmanton’s funeral was
held on Monday at Bell, Lamb
and Trotter on Ferry Rd and
cousin, Amy McGrath, said about
200 family and friends came
together to celebrate her life.
“She never said a bad word
about anyone. We are all still
upset and broken about what
has happened. Her funeral was
just perfect,” she said.

CHRISTCHURCH residents
may need to pay a separate
charge for their water use because
of dwindling water supplies.
A study has been completed on
why Christchurch’s streams are
drying up, and what can be done
about it.
It will be discussed by the
Christchurch West Melton Zone
Committee tonight.
In March, the water level in the
aquifers feeding the city was the
lowest on record.
At the moment the cost of
providing water is paid through
rates. But there is no charge on the
amount of water residents use.
City councillor and committee
member Pauline Cotter said water
metering and charges was one
of the options which would be up
for discussion tonight.
She said charging for water had
dropped water use in Auckland
by about 20 per cent.
“Frankly we don’t value it unless
we have to pay for it,” she said.
In Christchurch, people use an
average of 357 litres of water per
person per day.
In Auckland, with water
charges, the average is 273 litres
of water per person per day.
City council spokesman John
Mackie said water was a finite
resource, so the option was always
present in the city council’s
thinking.
Public consultation would be
needed if charges for water use
were brought in.
“It has been shown in other
centres around New Zealand and
elsewhere, that volumetric billing
is a more equitable way to charge
for water, raises awareness of the
value of water, incentivises water
conservation measures, defers
capital demand on building
new infrastructure, and better
manages the demand for water
particularly in peak times.”

JUST WHEN we finally thought
the earthquake recovery was
cranking up, another problem
is about to befall the city –
wayward roots.
The experts say between five
and seven years after a quake,
tree roots start to wind their way
into cracked underground pipes,
blocking them and causing
problems.
We speak to the experts on
page 3 and find out how long
you’ve got to take some action to
get the pipes fixed or replaced.
On page 8, we talk to Kevin
Barry and find out what he saw
in Joseph Parker, the big punching,
durable heavyweight boxer
heading towards a world title
fight.
Parker fights in Christchurch
in July on the way to the title.
Still on the sporting theme,
there’s a new elite in the rugby
ranks – players who are just past
their prime, or those who can’t
quite make or hold a place in the
All Blacks (page 32).
By world standards they are
still tip-top players and overseas
clubs are paying big bucks for
them.
Enjoy today’s paper.

Tree roots new threat to
quake-cracked pipes
HOMEOWNERS MAY be in
for more earthquake-related
pain with tree roots the culprit
this time.
The roots have found their way
into small cracks in earthquakedamaged
drainage pipes, blocking
them as they grow.
An EQC spokesman said the
problem had been expected to
crop up between five and seven
years following the earthquakes,
based on expert advice.
Homeowners have a “grace
period” until
December
31 when any
failure of lateral
pipes consistent
with earthquake
damage would
be treated as
such by EQC
with no further inspection.
However, claims made after
this time would face a higher
burden of proof that the damage
was earthquake-related.

He said most businesses and
homes were already metered,
which would mean a charging
system would be simpler to put
in place.
Water charges in Christchurch
have been considered in
the past, including in 2008 as
part of the city council water
strategy, and last year in the
long term planning process.
At the time a quota system
was discussed, which would
said now that tree roots had had
time to grow into the drains, the
problem was becoming more
evident.
“It only takes a tiny little fibre
getting in, it doesn’t take a huge
amount. Once that is in it just
feeds on the nutrients and goes
berserk and you can’t really stop
it without repairing the pipe.”
The company had two or three
drainage crews working on
repairing the problem each day
and was about six weeks behind
on camera inspections due to
mean people who used a lot of
water would be charged extra
while people who saved water
might get a rebate.
But Christchurch Budget
Service chairman Don Johnson
said he was sceptical about
whether that would happen.
“Someone’s going to be faced
with a rise because of the administration
costs involved, so
as a system it is always going to
cost more, not less.”
He said a lot of families in
the volume of requests coming
in – about 15 to 20 a day.
“Often the drains are under a
driveway and we are getting a lot
now where the driveways have
been replaced but then the roots
are getting in [to the drains]
and we are having to take up the
driveway that has already been
replaced.”
The problem is also hitting the
city council’s wastewater pipes. Infiltration
by tree roots had always
been a problem for the network
but head of three waters and waste
Christchurch couldn’t afford
even $5 a week extra.
Christchurch’s low groundwater
levels have been made worse
by the lower rainfall over winter,
which is when the ground
becomes saturated and the most
water can seep into the aquifers.
But Cr Cotter said even in
years when there was a lot
of rainfall the problem was
expected to get worse, because
of the changing climate and the
spread of the city.
John Mackie said it had been
made worse by the earthquakes
creating more cracks.
The city council was now
putting more emphasis on root
control and monitoring, which it
had to fund itself.
“The cost of root control this
year is around $125,000 and
this is likely to increase in the
near future as other methods
of control are considered such
as chemical treatment or root
foaming,” Mr Mackie said.

MEMORIAL RIDE
A memorial motor-cycle ride will
be held this Sunday to mark 30
years since the mysterious death
of 33-year-old Christchurch
jeweller and keen motorcyclist
Brian Edgington. Mr Edgington’s
body was found beside his crashed
car down a bank off the road in
Allandale, but his family did not
know why he was in the area or
what had happened. The ride will
be held from 11am on Sunday,
leaving from the Sign of the Kiwi.
SMOKEFREE DINING
About 20 restaurants and cafes
across the city are set to become
completely smokefree next
summer, as part of a smokefree
outdoor dining pilot. The pilot
will run for six months from
November, and is designed to test
whether becoming smokefree
will have a positive or negative
effect on business. It is run by the
Cancer Society and Community
and Public Health, and it is set to
be put to a city council committee
next week to ask for its support.
LOWER SPEED WANTED
Governors Bay residents have
come up with measures to try
and help police clamp down
on boy racer issues in the area.
Community representatives
met on Monday to discuss the
progress that has been made on
the problem over the past year.
Resident Rosie Belton said the
group decided it wanted to lower
the speed limit on Dyers Pass Rd
from 100km/h down to 70km/h.
She said the road was too windy
to drive at 100km/h.
HOTEL ROOM SHORTFALL
The squeeze on accommodation
in tourist hotspots is getting
tighter, causing critical
constraints in some centres
according to latest research.
It focused on Christchurch,
Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington
and Queenstown and shows that,
if demand and supply estimates
are borne out, the shortfall in new
hotel rooms is expected to be up
to 4526 across these centres by
2025, over and above new hotels
currently planned.

Rich-lister steps back from role in investment firm
• By Gabrielle Stuart
HIGH PROFILE businessman
Humphry Rolleston is stepping
back from investment firm
Murray & Co, which announced
last week it had sold its wealth
management arm.
The business was sold to First
NZ Capital, which helped to
set it up in 2008 and has been a
shareholder since.
Mr Rolleston is on the
National Business Review richlist,
with his investment wealth
valued at $70 million.
As part of the deal, Mr
Rolleston and fellow directors
Rob Campbell and Bill Trotter
have stepped down, although Mr
Rolleston is still a director of a
subsidiary company.
Mr Rolleston, Mr Campbell
and First NZ Capital all had
shares in the business, which
they have sold to Murray &
Co managing director Justin
Murray’s family interests as part
of the deal.
Mr Murray said the two businesses
had already been working
very closely together for a number
of years.
“All that really changes is the
brand. There will be no redundancies,
and everyone stays in
the same office.”
He said the changes were no
reflection on Mr Rolleston or the
other directors, who he said had
done some great work within the
company.
He said it was also no reflection
on the finances of the
company, which he said was in a
strong position.
But he said the wealth management
side of the business was
quite different to the investment
banking side, and the clients they
worked with were also different.
The company wanted to focus
on expanding its investment
banking arm, he said.
“The fact we have agreed to sell
to First NZ Capital is because we
have a strong relationship and
confidence in them. It had to be
the best decision for our clients,”
he said.

Illegal guns seized by task force
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE POLICE have seized 45
illegal guns in Christchurch
since an offender task force was
set up in February.
District commander superintendent
John Price said local
police were actively targeting
criminals who had illegal guns
through its intelligence informed
policing strategy.
That lines up with a Government
investigation which is
underway into how widespread
illegal gun use is, and how
criminals get hold of them.
Gang researcher and sociologist
Jarrod Gilbert believed he
believes all local gangs would
have some access to guns, but
how many was almost impossible
to estimate.
“In the underworld, if you’re a
drug dealer, for example, you’re
always at risk of being ripped off
and that being taken from you.
A stronger force in the underworld
will take from a smaller
force, and obviously a firearm is
an equalizer there. So there are
logical reasons for them to have
firearms.”
As anyone with gang connections
is banned from owning
them legally, that means they
had to use other methods, he
said.
Despite rules around the safe
Gun crime:

weapon or explosive
offences:

storage of guns, they are regularly
stolen in burglaries.
About 34,500 Cantabrians
have firearms licenses, according
to the last count.
MediaWorks Story journalist
Heather du Plessis-Allan
sparked debate over the issue
in October, when she managed
to buy a rifle online by forging
paperwork and pretending to be
a police officer.
But Gun City owner David
Tipple said doing that required
putting down a real address.
“Criminals don’t put their
name and address down when
they want to steal a gun. There’s
totally enough protection, it
would only be an idiotic, attention
seeker who would try this
on.”
He said New Zealand had a
very low rate of gun crime, so
the investigation was a waste of
police time.
He believed the current laws
were enough to keep guns out of
the wrong hands.
“The 1983 Arms Act does very
good job. It forced people into
securing their firearms and that
significantly reduced both firearms
theft and firearms falling
into the hands of criminals.”
But Dr Gilbert believed more
could be done.
He said the idea of registering
all firearms, like the way
cars were registered, had been
rubbished as a “bureaucratic
nightmare” in the past.
But he believed technology
meant a register could be much
simpler and more feasible.
That would give the police
more idea of how many guns
were in use and where illegal
guns came from.
Public submissions on the Parliamentary
inquiry into illegal
gun possession are open until
June 8.
Bashed
woman lucky
to be alive
• By Andrew King
POLICE SAY a woman is lucky
to be alive after a violent home
invasion.
The woman was allegedly
attacked with a piece of wood in
her Burnside house about 3am on
Friday morning.
Her young children were home
during the brutal assault.
Police said a piece of wood
was used in the attack which has
left the victim with “extensive
damage to her face and head”.
The victim managed to call
police herself after the attack.
The alleged attacker Lealofi
Setu, 39, was arrested at another
property two hours later.
He appeared in the district
court on May 20 charged with
two counts of contravening a
protection order, aggravated
burglary and wounding with
intent to cause grievous bodily
harm.
He was remanded in custody
until June 13.
Constable Natalie Deuchrass
said the attack was particularly
violent.
“The woman is very lucky to be
alive,” she said.

Councils blow cold on quarry plans
• By Tom Doudney
A REPORT suggesting
Canterbury has plenty of
aggregate material for the near
future is a blow to quarries who
say they should be allowed to dig
deeper to help the rebuild.
The city council and Environment
Canterbury have both
recommended that the Canterbury
Aggregate Producers Group
resource consent application be
denied.
CPAG, a group of nine quarry
owners, want to be allowed to dig
deeper than the current threshold
of 1m above highest recorded
groundwater levels.
The applications, for quarries
in the Yaldhurst, McLeans Island
and Broadfield areas, attracted
614 submissions, almost all of
which were in opposition.
A resource consent hearing will
be held on June 13.
Concerns over the potential
effects on groundwater were
central to both the city council
and ECan recommendations
but the city council’s report
also suggested the quarries had
“overstated” how much the application
being approved would
help the rebuild.
“There is currently adequate
supply of aggregate within the
district to meet recovery needs
and forecast demand to 2030,”
the report stated.
“By this time it is envisaged that
additional out of zone quarries
will presumably have been consented
and new supply will come
online to meet this demand.”
In making their case that
more supply was needed, the
quarries had cited a 2009 report
by Richard English of Twelfth
Knight Consulting. However, the
city council said Mr English had
reviewed this assessment in 2015
and provided more up to date
figures.
The ECan report stated that
while the risks to public health
were very low it was possible that
quarrying activities could affect
the taste of
groundwater for
residents connected
to nearby
bores, making it
unpalatable.
“As suitable
mitigation
has not been
provided for by
the applicant we regard the risks
posed by the activity to the local
environment as unnecessarily
high.”
CHALLENGE:
The city
council and
Environment
Canterbury are
recommending
that
applications
for quarries
to be allowed
to dig deeper
be declined.
The quarries
include
Winstone
Aggregates’
Yaldhurst site.
CPAG spokesman Brian Warren
(left) said the quarries would
leave a full response to the points
raised in the reports to the hearing
as the issues were complex.
“There is absolutely no question
that anything in the proposal
either exposes or digs into
groundwater, that’s one misconception
that has been bandied
around a fair bit,” he said.

quarries be allowed to dig
deeper? Send your views

Quake experiences needed
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
QUAKE claimants’ experiences
are being surveyed for a
comprehensive report, to help
insurers better respond to future
disasters.
The survey is the only independent
one being done and it is
essential research, Massey University
school
of economics
and finance
senior lecturer
Michael
Naylor (left)
said.
“We’ve had
interest from
all around the
world, with people asking what
we’ve learnt. Future generations
are going to want to learn from
our experiences as well. This is
important.”
The university is currently
compiling the data and calling
for Cantabrians to complete its
survey on quake claim experiences,
Dr Naylor said.
“We’ve already got more than
1000 responses, but we’d like
5000, 10,000 . . . the next major
disaster could well be Christchurch
and we want best practice
to be in place.”
DAMAGE: Liquefaction in Bexley after the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
The data collected from the
survey will be compiled into a
comprehensive report, and given
to the likes of quake insurers
and EQC.
While there has been a lot of
responses already, the university
needs a more diverse cross-section
of homeowners to respond,
Dr Naylor said.
“We haven’t got many from
the east side commenting,
mainly because most of them
were renters. We’re also after
commercial claims, a real wide
range of people.”
Dr Naylor also said that it is
often the “angry” claimants that
complete the survey.
“The only ones you hear about
in the media are negative, and
the ones coming to us are
negative. But we’re also aware
that a number of people have
had good experiences.”

Bus crash
charges laid
A 68-YEAR-OLD Canterbury
man associated with the
maintenance of a bus which
crashed on Arthur’s Pass on New
Year’s Eve has been charged.
The bus, carrying a tour
party of 31 Chinese tourists, lost
control and collided with a car
travelling up the Otira Gorge
before overturning and sliding
into roadside barriers separating
it from a ravine below.
The man was charged with
Injuring by Unlawful Act.
Thirteen of the bus passengers
suffered serious injuries requiring
hospitalisation and surgery,
including fractures and internal
injuries.
The car passengers involved
a visiting Swiss family of three,
who sustained moderate to serious
injuries.
Tasman Police District crime

‘I set a path for amateurs’ – Barry
Heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker will fight
in Christchurch in July – the last step in a
bid at a world title shot in England. Patrick
McKendry looks at what makes his trainer
Kevin Barry tick
NEW ZEALAND businessman
Bob Jones first connected Kevin
Barry with Joseph Parker, but the
union was not straightforward.
Jones (left), a
boxing aficionado
and millionaire,
wanted Barry to
train Parker in
Las Vegas before
the 2012 Olympics
in London.
For one reason or another it
didn’t happen. Parker then lost
the final qualifier and never
made it to the United Kingdom.
Next it was Dean Lonergan
with an offer. “Kev”, the promoter
said to his friend on the phone
in Las Vegas, “I want to sign this
guy as a professional and I want
you and only you to train him”.
“Okay”, came the uncertain
reply.
“I thought, ‘I had never met
him, I had never met his family’,”
Barry told the New Zealand
Herald this week.
“I’ve got to sell this whole
concept to my wife – Dean wants
to send this guy over to me to
live with us. Dean said: ‘well if
it doesn’t work out then I’ll put
him up in a hotel’.
“I said: ‘look, you bring a
young Samoan boy from South
Auckland and you put him in a
hotel, it’s never going to work,
mate’. I said: ‘this whole thing,
if it works, I’m going to have to
invite him into my family’. Dean
said: ‘he’s a lovely guy’.”
That conversation happened
more than three years ago.
It took seven months for the
contract to go through. Now
56-year-old Barry and his
24-year-old fighter are standing
on the brink of a world title shot
and the bond between them
looks likely to endure for a long
time.
The victory over Carlos Takam
at Manukau’s Vodafone Events
Centre at the weekend was to
have made Parker the mandatory
challenger for the IBF world
heavyweight title.
But he now has to hurdle
Australian Solomon Haumono
in Christchurch in July.
Barry has been alongside
Parker for the past 14 of his 18
professional fights.
Another thing worming into
Barry’s mind as he considered
Lonergan’s offer was the fallout
from the David Tua affair.
Barry, who was very close to
Tua and trained him for 12 years,
had a massive falling out with
him over money following the
heavyweight’s world title defeat
to Lennox Lewis in 2000.
A legal battle ensued and the
emotional scars remain for both
men.
However, after watching
Parker train for the first time,
and meeting his parents Sala
and Dempsey, Barry’s fears were
eased. Later they would vanish.
“He was very much an amateur,
not using his whole body,
no leverage from his legs,” Barry
said. “I waited for about 15 minutes
and gave him a couple of
instructions.
“What I showed him he
adopted straight away. That was
massive. I thought: ‘this kid is
coachable. He wants to learn’.
“I met with his Mum and Dad
and they said people had come up
to them and said: ‘oh you shouldn’t
put Joseph with Kevin Barry, he’s
the wrong guy, look what happened
with Tua after 12 years’.
“The family said: ‘we want
what’s best for our son. We want
him with you’.
“I made a pledge to them at
the time that I would become
his father figure and would treat
him like I would treat my own
children.”
The trip to Samoa earlier this
year for Parker’s fight against
American Jason Bergman,
helped Barry shut the door on
the Tua controversy.
“I had a lot of love in Samoa;
a lot of respect from the Prime
Minister and elders, and a lot of
thanks for what I’m doing with
Joseph.
“They knew what I did with
David for 12 years, with Masalino
Masoe [a middleweight world
title], a lot of other Samoan
fighters.
MATES: Kevin Barry and
Joseph Parker. Left: Parker in
training.
“There will always be a scar
there,” Barry said of the Tua
fallout. “When I agreed to come
back here and start training Joe,
it was very important for me that
I put that behind me.
“In a sense I had years prior
. . . but you spend 12 years with
a person and it leaves emotional
scars. The fact I was now spending
more time in New Zealand
that it was even more important
for me to completely close that
chapter. And I have.
“That name very rarely even
comes up now. No one even really
cares, it’s a long time ago now.”
Barry began boxing at eight
years old under the care of his father,
Kevin senior, who would go
on to become a Commonwealth
and Olympic Games coach and
an amateur boxing identity in
Christchurch.
His late father remains a huge
influence. Barry junior had his
first fight at nine years old and
once fought three times in one
night as a 10-year-old at a Canterbury
under-16 championship.
He won the first two and lost the
final to a 15-year-old.
He thrives on boxing and
everything to do with it. During
our interview, his phone
rings several times – promoter
Lonergan has been putting him
through media paces like never
before, he said – but he picks
up his train of thought without
hesitation.
As a light heavyweight, Barry
won all sorts of medals and
awards, and became synonymous
with Evander Holyfield at
the 1984 Olympics at Los Angeles
after the American was disqualified
for repeatedly hitting
after the break, a controversial
decision which helped Barry to a
silver medal.
“I set a path for the amateurs
coming behind me and I was
very proud of that,” he said. “I
boxed for 16 years and it gave me
a great start – it built the character
and person I am today.
“The Holyfield fight at the
Olympics . . . I was bitter at the
time because I was a proud guy
and ended up winning my fourth
fight there by disqualification. I
was coming second in the fight.
But I had never been off my feet in
16 years and he was never going to
get me off my feet even though he
knocked everyone else out. So he
hit me with a cheap shot.
“As well as launching Holyfield’s
professional career, it
opened a lot of doors for me in
America back in the late 80s
when I started travelling there.”
During our interview, Barry
receives a call from an old mate
in Christchurch, plus Lonergan,
and the latter he finishes with
a stream of good-natured foulmouthed
insults. Parker visits
briefly, and leaves again after
being told he has a BBC phone
interview before training.
Once he leaves, Barry said:
“Joe is a gifted athlete, a very
talented young man who has so
much going for him. He’s special.
And I feel there is a piece of me
in Joe. It’s the coaching that
keeps me awake at night, thinking,
‘I’ve got to try this particular
combination’. I get up and write
things down. The coaching occupies
all my spare time.

Claim overworked nurses
are affecting patient care
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
SHORT-STAFFED hospital
wards are creating overworked
and stressed nurses, and it is
impacting on patient care.
That is the claim being
made by New Zealand Nurses
Organisation delegate and
registered neonatal nurse Cheryl
Hanham, who is calling on
the Government to invest at
least $35 million over what is
expected for the Canterbury
District Health Board in today’s
Budget.
“We are always over 100 per
cent capacity and working
overtime because of short
staffing . . .
we’re basically
in a deficit
before we even
start,” Ms
Hanham (left)
said.
She said
there are often
six babies and their families to
one nurse in the neonatal unit:
“And that’s far too much for one
nurse. Best practice guidelines
suggest four babies per nurse.
I worry about patient safety all
the time.”
Her call for more funding
comes after the Council of
Trade Unions and Association
of Salaried Medical Specialists
released a pre-Budget analysis,
saying the Government will
need to increase its health
budget by at least $691 million.
The extra funding is needed
to keep pace with population
growth, ageing and cost
increases, CTU economist Bill
Rosenberg said.
“Anything less than $691
million should be regarded as a
cut in funding and will result in
cuts to services.”
But Health Minister Jonathan
Coleman has rejected talk of
a cut, telling the New Zealand
Herald the health budget had
STRESSED: Canterbury nurses are under pressure with shortstaffed
hospital wards.
increased by $4 billion over the
past seven years to a record $15.9
billion.
“Look, the CTU have
been running those sorts of
arguments for a long time, so I
am not at all surprised. But the
problem is, they are not focusing
on results out of the health
system, they think the answer to
everything is more money.”
Ms Hanham says Dr Coleman
is out-of-touch with what it’s
really like inside hospitals.
“If we could get our staff
numbers up to full capacity we
would be able to do so much
more, but we just don’t have the
money. I’d like Dr Coleman
to come in and work with us,
do our shifts for a week. Then
he would see the stresses and
strains this system is under.”
She said in the last week she
has often had three texts in a
day from the hospital, asking for
nurses to take on extra shifts.
“I have worked overtime
this whole year, and that is my
choice, but really we’re only
keeping the hospitals going
by all the staff doing so much
extra.”
CDHB executive director
of nursing, Mary Gordon,
said ensuring staff well-being
and a clinically safe working
environment is paramount.
“Every day our people
continue to put in an
extraordinary effort to ensure
we collectively respond to the
needs of our community . . .
clinical leaders continuously
review staffing to ensure safe
and adequate levels are in
place and are matched to
clinical need – which can
change daily.”
She also said the CDHB’s
neonatal senior nursing team
has had no contact from the
NZNO or its delegates, or staff
within the unit, regarding the
issues Ms Hanham has brought
up in the media.
Bin swap cost a
big surprise
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
A LANDLADY is complaining
about the city council’s rubbish
bin swapping charges after she
was quoted $91 to get her tenant’s
red bin downsized.
Suzanne Parsons, a selfproclaimed
“serious environmentalist,”
wants to downsize her
tenant’s red bin so she is forced
to sort her rubbish into recycling
and green waste.
But she said the “excessive”
charge is making her think
twice. “I mean the city council
says they’re trying to encourage
recycling, but honestly. I was
expecting a $10-15 pick-up fee,
not this.”
A city council spokeswoman
said the charge has been in
place since July 2010, and was
consulted through the Long
Term Council Community Plan
process.
The charge for swapping one
bin is $91, and two bins is $103.
This covers the removal and
delivery of the bin “as well as the
administration costs associated
with amending the database.”
• By Shelley Robinson
A DONOR has gifted $78,000 so
the Margaret Mahy Playground
can be made more disabilityfriendly.
Otakaro Ltd, which has taken
over some functions from the
now defunct Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Authority, said it
is unable to release the identity of
the donor yet.
The Government’s $20m
project was criticised when it was
opened in December to much
fanfare, by SmileDial’s New Zealand
chief executive Kelly Dugan,
for its lack of accessibility for
children with disabilities.
SmileDial advocates and assists
City council contractor, Waste
Management, organises the bin
swaps. But Ms Parsons says she is
not allowed to speak to them.
“I would’ve been perfectly
happy to do the bin swap myself,
but the city council says I can’t
deal with or even talk directly to
the contractor. I should be able
to.”
She said the issue has come
up as her single tenant, in a onebedroom
apartment, fills the red
bin every week, and won’t bother
to sort recycling or green waste.
“A one-bedroom flat in this
day and age . . . honestly. I’ve got
grandkids and I’d be lucky to fill
half my red bin every week.”
$78,000 playground gift
families who have children with
an ongoing medical conditions or
a disability.
Mr Dugan (left) was not aware
of the money until The Star informed
him, but he was “stoked.”
“I’d love to know who it is so
I can shake their hand. What
an amazing gift this person has
made,” he said.
An Otakaro spokesman told
The Star it hoped to release further
details about the donation
“soon.”
It did not yet have a itemised
list of the additional features.
Mr Dugan said that he hoped
to be consulted alongside other
disability lobby groups to ensure
the “most bang for the buck.”

Dredging may harm dolphins
• By Bridget Rutherford
IN DANGER?: An expert warns that plans to dredge Lyttelton
Harbour could disrupt the hector’s dolphin population.
PLANS TO dig a deeper
channel in Lyttelton Harbour
are progressing, but critics are
worried about the impact on
the environment, including
endangered hector’s dolphins.
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
wants to deepen the harbour’s
navigation channel by 2m to
accommodate larger container
vessels.
It plans to apply for resource
consent mid-way through this
year.
But University of Otago
marine animal expert Professor
Liz Slooten said the dredging
could be disruptive to hector’s
dolphins living in and around
the harbour. It it estimated there
are just over 7270 left.
Professor Slooten has been
doing research on hector’s dolphins
around Banks Peninsula,
and said the population was already
under threat from fishing.
She said dredging the harbour
floor could remove marine life
fish feed on, ultimately having
a flow-on affect to the dolphins,
she said.
She said Port Otago was also
looking to dredge to accommodate
larger vessels.
“It doesn’t make sense for everyone
to be doing developments,
probably paid out of taxpayer
money, doing environmental
damage when we’re not sure if
these ships are coming.”
LPC chief executive Peter
Davie said it wanted to do the
project in order to keep up with
international shipping trends to
support the regional economy.
He said LPC was working
with independent experts to
understand effects on marine
ecologies, marine mammals and
their food sources.
MP and Rapaki runanga
member Nuk Korako said the
runanga wanted the dredged
sediment dumped outside the
harbour.
He said the runanga understood
it was a working port, and
if they could find a balance, they
would be happy.
Green List MP Eugenie Sage
said LPC needed to consult with
the community about its plans
before it applied for consent.
DEEP DIG: Plans are in place
to deepen Lyttelton Harbour.
“Leaving it just to the formal
Resource Management Act
processes is not consultation,
especially given the short timeframes
under the RMA for people
to understand and comment
on complex proposals.”
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community
Board chairwoman
Paula Smith said the dumping of
sediment dredged up would be
the most contentious issue.
She said some people in Sumner
and Taylors Mistake had
previously been worried that
the sediment could travel north
with the sea current.

‘Big win’ for
Harrington’s
in competition
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
HARRINGTON’S Breweries
has come up against
commercial beer giants to take
third place in an international
beer competition in Melbourne.
They took the award in the
Champion Small International
Brewery category.
It is a “big win” for the small
Christchurch brewery, director
Carl Harrington said.
“A big American brewery
[Moylan’s Brewing Company,
California] took out the category.
It’s not an outright win
but the New Zealand craft breweries
are heading in the right
direction.”
The award was given at the
Australian International Beer
Awards, the largest annual beer
competition in the world.
The placing was clinched
thanks to the success of some
new additions to Harrington’s
range, as well as recipe changes
to some old ones.
The family-owned brewery
is celebrating 25 years in July,
with its original Phillipstown
brewery going strong and a new
automated bottling line set to be
installed at its Wigram site.

Readers have their say
after plans to put seven
godwit sculptures in
South New Brighton were
put on hold. City council
staff said the proposed
site is classified as a “noman’s
land” that doesn’t
belong to anyone.
Lyn Willyams – An
unbelievably stupid response
from the city council. If it is
no-man’s land it belongs to
everyone and that’s where the
sculptures should be placed.
The concept drawing looked
beautiful. Wake up council.
We need some beauty in the
east. It must be so frustrating
for all those folk who come up
with great ideas and are then
told it’s not possible, especially
when it obviously is.
EARLIER THIS month I joined
Prime Minister John Key in
visiting some of the innovative
projects helping to shape our
city.
With all the work taking place,
job growth in Canterbury is
particularly strong. The latest
Household Labour Force Survey
shows an unemployment rate of
just 3 per cent in Canterbury in
the March quarter of this year.
It’s important this growth
spreads to all Cantabrians, and
that’s why the Government and
the region are working to develop
the long-term infrastructure
that will sustain and grow the
Wayne Hawker – It is
totally unbelievable that the
city council condemns the
erection of the godwit
sculptures on the southeastern
entrance of the Bridge
St bridge. Reasoning that
the land does not belong
to anyone. What a great
opportunity to construct
an interesting and very
appropriate piece of artwork
on a piece of land that nobody
owns. No doubt the city
council maintains the land on
either side of the approaches to
the bridge – who else would?
Given that, then why not
use the land and maybe the
artwork would become a
tourist destination. After all
the city council are looking for
draw cards to revitalise New
Brighton.
region into the future.
Project 300 led by Minister
Nicky Wagner, which aimed to
get 300 disabled people in
Canterbury into work, has seen
great results with over 600 people
get full or part time jobs, or
into study.
The Government has also
recently announced a two-year
extension to the Canterbury
Skills and Employment hub,
which matches job seekers with
employers, helping employers
in the region meet their skills
needs.
While some projects have
reached completion, the work
St Martins resident Leith
McMurray writes about
the impending demolition
of the 152-year-old
Enfield Villa in Burke St,
Addington, which is to be
replaced by a block of
flats.
I knew the Enfield Villa
many years ago when Pat Allen
bought it in a derelict state and
restored it beautifully.
The only new piece then was
a bathroom built in the style of
the rest of the house.
I had a 1910 villa further
down the street and Pat helped
me with mine as well.
Unfortunately, after I sold
it (having restored it), it was
demolished and a walkway laid
through the property.
The Enfield Villa is such a
gem and one of the earliest
houses remaining in Christchurch.
I’m appalled that Heritage
New Zealand poured scorn
on it. It has a very large section
and could easily fit a block of
flats as well.
Pat laid the brick drive
herself, digging it out to a depth
of nine inches and making several
trips to Glentunnel to bring
back bricks. She and her friend
Murray took down several
trees which had overgrown the
house and blocked the light.
Many hundreds of woman
(and man) hours went into that
elsewhere continues.
Christchurch is equipping
itself to take advantage of tourism
growth. In recent months,
the refurbished Sudima Hotel
has opened and the $20 million
Christchurch Adventure Park
is set to be a strong magnet for
tourists as well as local visitors.
It includes a chairlift, mountain
bike trails, a mountain coaster
and a zip line.
It has been great to see
buildings like the BNZ Centre,
the Lane Neave building and
Environment Canterbury’s new
offices opened, and it is just as
exciting that new businesses
wee house. Perhaps it could
have been sent to Ferrymead?
Some years ago I tried to
interest Diana, Lady Isaacs in
acquiring it for her little village,
but I suspect she was in declining
health at the time and that
never happened. It should be
preserved as an example of old
Addington.
Hoon Hay resident Gary
Knight writes:
As the controversy relating to
heritage buildings evolves as a
platform of debate and forum
of opinion, there are structures
worthy of repair and restoration.
Seismic strengthening of Tai
Tapu’s Otahuna Lodge in 2011
and earthquake proofing of
Diamond Harbour’s Godley
House in 2012 bears testimony
have the opportunity to establish
themselves nearby to provide
services for the people that work
in these new buildings.
Work has also begun on turning
a prominent central city
arterial, Manchester Street, into
a main public transport route
and tree-lined boulevard. As
to the importance of both of
these venues.
There exists, however, Enfield
Villa in Addington, also worthy
of sustaining.
Having been through three
owners since 1862 and having
undergone medium to
large preservation modifications
would surely deem this
villa worth of saving, due to its
heritage.
Preservation of Enfield Villa
while building additional rental
facilities and presentation of
the villa as a historic showpiece,
with a nominal visitor fee, would
surely be of monetary benefit
to the close knit community of
Addington, as opposed to demolition
of this iconic structure,
having been one of Addington’s
first homes, for placement of yet
another concrete jungle of apartment
blocks.

The Big Question
Email us your views on anything Christchurch
editor@starmedia.kiwi or comment on
facebook.com/riseupchristchurch/
The Budget will be revealed today which will shape New Zealand for another year. We asked
Christchurch residents what areas they would like to see prioritised in Government spending
Bernadette Brown,
73, retired, St
Albans:
“Welfare for
children would be
my biggest priority
for the Budget, and
a lot of that is to do
with good housing.
Having overcrowded
houses can
cause problems and
there are related
health issues with
overcrowding as
well. I think they
need to spend
money a bit more
wisely, it seems
to be wasted on
things like flag
referendums and
what have you.”
Edward Green, 82,
retired, Hoon Hay:
“Schools, health and
houses would be my
top priorities. There
also needs to be
more funds towards
supplementing
pensions and
providing home
help. On the
pension you really
don’t have much to
live on.”
Sophie Booker, 19,
student, Ilam:
“I definitely would
say health needs to
be at the top of the
list. Recent budget
cuts for mental
health funding
in Christchurch,
especially
considering the
earthquakes and
all of our stats
rising, means that
mental health is a
huge problem and
something they
need to look at. I
need to know I can
get help if I need it.”
Kim Macfarlane,
58, currently on a
sickness benefit,
Woolston:
“Health definitely
needs to be
prioritised. I
suppose I know
because I’ve been
through the health
system so I know all
about long waiting
lists. Health for
children should
also definitely be up
there, and housing
too.”
William Tebbutt,
18, student,
Lyttelton:
“More money
should definitely
be put into jobs
and getting more
people employed.
They were talking
about raising the
minimum wage as
well I guess, which
is a good thing, and
more money should
be put into health.”
Nandakishore
Kantamaneni,
30, production
assistant, central
city:
“Jobs should be a
big focus, I am an
immigrant and it
is really hard to
find information
and help to get into
good jobs.”
Paul Robinson, 71,
retired, Woolston:
“Obviously health
should be a big
thing. I’ve had
health problems
and I believe this
is the priority for
most people, as
well as housing.
I’d like to see them
focusing on getting
young people into
their first homes,
and also looking at
child poverty and
preventing violence
against children.”
Peter Mullany, 48,
security guard, St
Albans:
“There needs to
be more spent on
health. I end up in
hospital more at
this time of year
and they’re underresourced.
There
also needs to be
more housing for
people like me
because I’m renting
and its really hard
to buy a house.”
Capturing the experiences of people on the street
FOR THOSE of us who have
lived through the last five years,
its often hard to explain to
people outside of Christchurch
how drastic the changes for our
city have been.
Statistics will get us some
of the way – the thousands
of homes that have had to be
rebuilt, the billions of dollars that
are being spent on the recovery,
the thousands of people who
have left the city for good.
What these numbers don’t
capture though is what it’s been
like to live through all this
change. What it’s been like for
people who have seen the neighbourhoods
they lived in totally
transformed. What it’s been like
to watch friends and neighbours
leave the city forever or to fight
tooth and money with EQC for
money you know you are owed.
That’s why I’m so impressed
with the work that’s gone into
John Patterson’s ‘The story of a
small street’ project. Hosted on
the Rebuild Christchurch website,
the project is a grass roots
survey to capture the experiences
of the people on one street and
what’s happened to them since
the earthquakes.
The results of the survey are
confronting. Of the 63 houses on
a single street, 16 needed to be
rebuilt, 17 needed to be repaired,
15 have been sold ‘as-is, whereis’
and four households are still
waiting to be repaired, having
had no work done since the
earthquakes.
One very sad thing noted
by the project is that of the 63
houses on the street, seven of
Megan Woods
them had elderly occupants who
died while still battling EQC or
their insurers. Others have had
to have repairs redone because of
shoddy workmanship, and some
have even had to have their rerepairs
re-repaired.
What I find so admirable about
this project is the way it perfectly
captures the very personal experiences
so many people in our
city have been through.
Hearing the story of one street
drives home just how drastic
the changes we have all lived
through have been. It shows
clearly how much delay and
frustration has been caused by
problems at EQC. It shows us
where we have been, where we
need to get to, and what we need
to do better.
It’s exactly the kind of grass
roots project I’d love to see more
of in the future, to make sure
that the story of people who
lived through the earthquakes
isn’t lost.

Battling family’s
health woes
KICKING THE colds
With this unusual, yet
welcome, warm autumnal
weather, our luck of having
a relatively healthy and
sick-free summer had been
extended.
However, with the subsidence
of the balmy days
and high temperatures, so
too has the tide of good
health in our family.
Last week, one of the
twins woke up with a
barking cough, blocked
nose and rosy cheeks.
Within two days, all six
of us had it one form or
another – some worse than
others, but everyone had a
dose of a little something
to slow them down.
Coughing, sneezing, sore
throat and pounding head
– and that was just me.
It’s hard enough having to
deal with sub-par kids, but
when both myself and my
hubby also feel under the
weather, it’s essential to up
the “get-better” ante so to
avoid a complete crash and
burn.
I delved into the top
cupboard and pulled out
our medicine box to figure
out what we had, and what
was needed. A trip to the
shops soon updated our
stock and we were a family
complete with nasal
sprays, decongestants,
paracetamol, vitamins and
tonics. I was ready for the
battle ahead.
In a bid to get on a quick
track to good health, I
myself embarked on a
religious regime of vitamin
C, fresh lemon and honey
drinks and a good dose
of Vicks Vaporub on my
back, chest and feet. Placebo
effect or otherwise,
it provided me with the
psychological edge to feel
stronger and more able to
support my sick troops.
This ritual especially
takes me back to my childhood
when my parents
would slather us with this
old-school salve (complete
with a big dollop under/
into the nostrils), administer
a spoonful of some
ghastly potion, and send us
to bed in flannelettes and
with hot water bottles.
And so it passes (sort
of) to my own children.
I used Vicks, Vitamin
C chewables (otherwise
known as their “sours”),
plenty of water, fresh fruit
and veges, and the addition
of an organic herbal
product created especially
for children by a New
Zealand company called
Kiwi Herb.
Beyond the medicinals,
I was conscious to let
their wee bodies rest. We
skipped after school activities
to stay at home, relax
and channel their energies
into fighting off the bugs.
Ten days on, and it feels
Melissa McDonnell
like we are on the other
side. These concoctions
have so far proved adequate
to keep the coughs
and colds from progressing
further, noses are drier,
energy is returning, and
the medicine box is no
longer a constant on our
bench.
Yet, I know this is just
the beginning of winter
and there is the potential
for so much more to come.
With six of us in the house,
and each of us exposed to
different new germs each
day, one of us is bound to
bring fresh bugs back to
the rest.
Until then however, I
will enjoy this refreshing
bout of (almost) good
health and keep all appendages
crossed for it to
continue. Meanwhile, my
annual internal debate has
been ignited: flu vaccinations
. . . to jab, or not to
jab?
Oamaru’s Steampunk NZ Festival is on again at
Queen’s Birthday weekend with a rich range of
entertainment, talent, and art.
Steampunks from around New Zealand, and
some from overseas, gather for an annual event
which has found its ideal centre in Oamaru, with
its historic precinct.
The festival is a celebration of the art and
creativity of Steampunk – a genre so wide that it
is hard to define.
“It is about how Victorians viewed the future
– a world of time machines, steam power, and
mysterious creatures,” said festival organiser
Helen Jansen. “But most of all it is about
invention, adventure, and discovery.”
For most people, the festival begins with the
Oamaru Fire and Steam Festival in the streets
and venues of the historic precinct on the night
of Friday June 3, with markets, performances
and usually flaming braziers to ward off the
nocturnal chills.
People can move on from there to an evening
of Vaudeville at the Loan and Merc venue in
Harbour Street from 9pm. The show, compered
by entertainer, singer, and comedian Jackie
Clarke, will include performances by members of
the Steampunk community itself and it has been
rated R-18.
Saturday June 4 sees a writers’ workshop where
participants are encouraged to turn up with their
laptops, if possible, or just pen and paper, so
that a small collection of Steampunk writing can
be brought together and distributed during the
festival.
Other Saturday activities are the tea-duelling
(a biscuit dunking contest), a voice-reading
workshop, and the Splendid Teapot Racing
World Championship event in which has radiocontrolled
vehicles fitted out with teapots racing
around an obstacle course.
Airship races are also planned, after the Victorian
Imagineers Mess Dinner in the evening.
A computer link-up on Sunday June 5 presents
insights into Steampunk Around the World and
in the afternoon, the famous Steampunk Fashion
Show will be held at the Oamaru Club. This is
followed in the evening by the climax of the
weekend’s events, the Steampunk Gala Ball with
a live swing band, dancing, sumptuous supper,
and revellers in costumes from another era –
or perhaps an era that never quite happened.
A festival highlight is always the fashion
show where entrants must come up with a
Steampunk-themed story about the character
and the costume they are wearing.
The stories have ranged from dragon-lore and
werewolves to post-apocalyptic scavengers, and
time-travelling bounty hunters.
“That’s the thing about Steampunk,” said Helen
Jansen. “It’s about possibilities rather than
limits.”
Steampunk markets will be running both
days at the Loan and Merc, where people
can buy artwork, or put together a costume.
Exhibitions including the Steampunk HQ and the
Gadgetorium will be going on throughout the
weekend.
The Steampunk NZ Festival is running
in Oamaru from June 2 to 6.
Detailed information about the events
and booking links can be found on the
www.steampunknz.co.nz website.

Sizzle in sunshine at Palm Springs
• By Mike Yardley
STEEPED IN showbiz
heritage, feted for its modernist
architecture and famed for its
indie-music festival, Coachella,
I recently had a fling with the
sizzling desert retreat of Palm
Springs.
One hundred and sixty kilometres
east of the City of Angels
and being a desert climate, by
day, it’s generally a few degrees
warmer than Los Angeles,
although it can also be starkly
chillier overnight.
Being a Christchurch boy, and
without wishing to tempt fate,
curiosity got the better of me,
so I made a date with the San
Andreas fault line.
It’s Southern California’s biggest
ticking time-bomb, increasingly
overdue to rupture. Visit
the Coachella Valley Preserve
and the signposting will guide
you to the San Andreas Fault,
where you can straddle the
North American and Pacific
Plates, marked by vertical rock
uplift and slot canyons.
Palm Springs is dramatically
backdropped by the chiselled
peaks of the San Jacinto and
Santa Rosa Mountains.
The best way to get a sense of
the wildly contrasting terrain
is to jump on-board the aerial
tramway, allegedly the world’s
largest rotating cable car, which
zips you up Mount San Jacinto.
Alighting from the cable car,
the mountain peaks and surrounding
pine forests are often
dappled in snow, while the
sprawling wilderness is invitingly
laced with scenic hiking trails.
Fifty years ago, nearly every
major American entertainer
owned a home in Palm Springs,
transforming it into a buzzing
winter playground for Hollywood
royalty. In more recent
years, the region has often been
derided as God’s waiting room
for moneyed retirees.
But Palm Springs is absolutely
back in vogue, with a whole new
generation falling in love with its
trademark mid-century architecture.
I previously had no affinity
for modernism, but I was soon
slayed by the glamtastic, Jetsonian
designs in Palm Springs.
Modernism is to Palm Springs
what art deco is to Miami Beach.
Liberace’s Spanish-style casa
in Belardo Rd is still adorned
with his trademark “L” symbol,
while Twin Palms in Alejo Rd,
the Sinatra House, is where Ol’
Blue Eyes lived and fought with
Ava Gardner. You can arrange a
private tour of the house.
Another superb mid-century
gem is the King’s Love Nest, Elvis
Presley’s honeymoon hideaway.
Located in the leafy cul-de-sac
of Ladera Circle, and officially
known as the Alexander Estate,
this mid-century modern classic
with its sprawling butterfly roof
was built in 1962.
The house has been
authentically restored and you
can book a walkthrough. www.

Our People
Madeleine Martin
Revolutionising joint replacements
When Madeleine Martin
isn’t working to 3D print new
bones for specialist patients,
she spends her time
adventure racing, travelling
and working with disabled
skiers. She speaks to Emma-
Jane McLennan about her
twin sister and the time she
followed in Marco Polo’s
footsteps along the Silk Road
Madeleine, you work in a very
interesting area – could you
tell me about it?
Yes, I work at Ossis, which is
an orthopaedic designer and
manufacturer. Basically we
work at the really complex end
of cases, where people need
new solutions because of their
unusual anatomy, multiple
hip replacements or the like.
We scan their bones and then
custom make replacements
using 3D metal printing, called
Electron Beam Melting or
EBM. It’s quite different to, say,
plastic 3D printing because of
the structure – we can actually
create a porous structure which
the bones can grow into.
Wow, how long has this been
around for?
The technique has been
around since 2007, and because
it is relatively new we actually
manufacture in the United
States because they’ve got the
right standards. We sell all
around New Zealand and Australia
and are the leader in the
Australasian market.
This is a highly specialist
industry, how did you get into
it?
Well I’ve got a mechanical
engineer father and a physio
mother, so I think I’ve probably
got my Dad’s technical
side. Then through sport, and
with mum and my twin sister
Charlotte working as physios,
I’ve combined both. I
originally did my mechanical
engineering
and commerce degrees
at Canterbury
University, then I
worked in product
development at
Fisher & Paykel
for five years. But
I always knew I
wanted to work
in the medical
profession,
so when
this
opportunity
came up at one
of the only
high-growth
companies
of its kind
in New
Zealand,
I took it.
That was
two and
a half
years
ago now and its still just amazing
seeing these people come in
and be quite wowed by the team
and what we can do for them.
Good on you! Now I hear
you’re pretty busy outside of
work as well – you’re a skier
right?
Yes skiing is a big passion for
me. Actually about four years
ago we went on a big ski trip,
my partner and I and some
friends – probably about 10 of
us. We followed in Marco Polo’s
footsteps along the Silk Road,
we started in Beijing, right up
through Asia and ended up in
Venice in summertime, which
felt pretty weird. It was always
a bit of a dream to do that
really, to combine skiing
and travelling and see lots
of exotic new places. It was
interesting how people in
each place saw our skiing
as well, in some places it
was really just a mode of
transport so they thought
us a bit silly for doing it
for fun.

by building better bones
Wow! Any interesting stories
from the trip?
One part of the Silk Road trip
that really stood out was our
stay in Arslenbob, Krygsztan. Arslenbob
survived on having the
largest walnut forest in the world,
but in winter that meant there
was 90 per cent unemployment.
A local man, Hyatt, campaigned
community based tourism and
set us up to stay in the village
with the locals and ski through
the walnut forest each day with
Hyatt who had taught himself to
ski from watching it on TV.
Wow, what a trip! And you
volunteer helping disabled
people ski?
Yes, my twin sister and I have
been quite involved in disabled
skiing. It’s really nice to see
people who are really struggling
with a disability just forget that
when they’re skiing – like they’re
just any other person. A lot of
them might use sit-skis or be
assisted in some other way, so it
really just levels the playing field.
It’s so good to see patients come
who might have quite a debilitated
quality of life restore that
through skiing.
And you’re involved in adventure
racing too?
DETERMINATION: Madeleine
Martin competing in the
Coast to Coast in February.
Yes, I just did the Coast to
Coast again this year, I came fifth
in the women’s section so I guess
that’s alright. I tried not to take it
too seriously. I’ve done it before,
the first time I did it was 10 years
ago when I completed it together
with my twin sister. We were the
first twins to complete the Coast
to Coast together actually.
And you followed that up with
the GODZone Adventure
Race?
Yes, that was soon after the
Coast to Coast, and it was a huge
mental challenge. We finished
the course in six days, which was
around mid-field, but we decided
right at the start we were going
to get some proper sleep so we
actually finished the race feeling
okay and still getting on well as a
team. We finished behind Richie
McCaw’s team by about a day I
think, but they hardly slept.
Those are some pretty intense
events, how do you fit training
around full-time work?
I don’t know, you just do it
really. It’s always hard to find
balance but I think it’s really
important to keep your hobbies
up outside of work.
So have you always lived in
Christchurch?
I was born in Christchurch, I
grew up here and studied here
before moving to Auckland for
five years to work with Fisher
& Paykel. So apart from that,
and an exchange to the United
Kingdom during my engineering
degree, yes I have always lived
here. My partner, Blair, and I
love it here. It’s great just being
able to have the lifestyle and its
conducive to fitting in the likes of
my training.
TWINS: Madeleine and Charlotte Martin.
Would you tell me a bit about
your family?
Yes, well my partner is commuting
between here and
Auckland at the moment, and we
don’t have any kids at this stage
but I’ve got enough little nieces
– three of them – to keep me
busy [laughing]. I’m also one of
five children. Charlotte and I are
the second-eldest in our family.
They’re all thinking about doing
the Coast to Coast next year actually,
I might just support-crew
for once though [laughing].
You say you love Christchurch,
so what are your favourite
places to go here?
My partner and I have a dinner
club we like to go to with friends,
where we try new places as they
pop up around the city. The last
one we went to was The Laboratory
in Lincoln, and I always like
to go back to The Monday Room
as I really enjoy the food there.
What would you say to people
wanting to follow their passions?
I just take every opportunity
I’m given really. They’re all challenges
but I enjoy it.

secrets behind his food is part of what he
loves.
His food is immaculately presented,
like art on a plate, using skills he learned
after almost 40 years cooking across New
Zealand, Asia and Europe.
But it was still good, honest food, he said.
“Everything on the plate has to be edible,
no prissy garnishes or anything like
that.
And the secret to good, honest food
was in the details, he said. From the herbs
growing in the gardens right outside the
kitchen to the bread freshly made in the
mornings, or the hams they cured for
more than a year to get the flavours right.
Sharing that with his guests might mean
inviting them along to select mushrooms
for dinner that night, or in to the kitchen
for a private lesson on how it was prepared.
“It can be pretty frenetic, so you’ve got
to be organised, but generally we get good
at it. And because the menu changes every
day it’s like cooking out of a big magic box.”
His first role in the kitchen was at about
11 years old, when he worked for his stepfather
in the holidays washing dishes to
earn pocket money.
He spent his early years working for chefs
at hotels and restaurants around Auckland.
In his 30s, he worked around the world,
travelling Asia and then working on a riverboat
in Germany and Portugal.
He returned to New Zealand to take a
job at Christchurch restaurant Phloyds,
which he said was awarded Restaurant of
the Year after four months.
He went on to work at several restaurants,
including Espresso 124, which was
where he met his wife, Philippa, who is
also a chef.
He said they met when they were both
guest chefs at the Sign of the Takahe, but
he didn’t think anything of it at the time.
“But she tracked me down at work a few
months later and came into lunch at work
with some friends. She rang me up just before
service and said would you like to get
a drink after work and I said yeah, sure.
And we’ve been together ever since.”
He took on the role at Otahuna 13 years
ago, and was there throughout the earthquakes,
when it had to be closed twice for
repairs.
But although many chefs around the
city lost their jobs, he said the owners of
the lodge made the decision to keep all the
staff on.
Over the four months the lodge was
closed, the team kept busy feeding the
army of workers repairing the place, he
said.

Gardening Advice with
Q
Usually I prune my roses towards the end of June, but at
the moment with the seasons changing and the fact that
they are still flowering, when is the best time to prune and do you
have any other advice on treatment during the colder months?
Congratulations! Today’s winning question came
from Grace Irwin.
A
Pruning Roses
It is imperative that you delay pruning your roses until they
have become completely dormant; ie: leaves no longer
present on the plant. Pruning any earlier with the very mild
autumn we are experiencing may result in new growth appearing
which will then suffer when the cold weather eventually arrives.
Pruning roses may well now be a July task. You should still apply
winter clean up applications of a copper compound at any time
during the next few months however, regardless of whether there are leaves on the rose bushes or not.
When you do prune, ensure you remove any dead or diseased wood, and prune out all inward growing
branches and shorten all other branches back by at least half or more. (Note: this is dependent on
variety). Prune to outward facing buds and always make clean cuts with no straggly ends. One week
after pruning, spray with Lime Sulphur and/or a copper compound such as Copper Oxychloride
to ward off fungal diseases (do not mix these sprays together). Then, 3 or 4 days later, apply a
horticultural spray to kill off any overwintering pests (again do not mix with copper).

Transplant seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower and
broccoli for a continuous supply over winter.
Fruit tree pruning can now begin.
Although the weather has
cooled, there are still a few
tasks to be done in the
garden this month. Here
are some tips to get you
started.
• Vege gardens – The
winter vege garden should
be well established by now
and most of your seedlings
should already be planted.
Continue to sow broad
beans and transplant seedlings
of cabbage, cauliflower,
broccoli and silverbeet
for a continuous supply
over winter. Sow green
manure crops such as
lupin and mustard in the
parts of the vege garden
that will be empty during
the winter months. This
will add nutrients into the
soil and protect beds over
winter.
• Strawberries – It’s
the traditional time of the
year for final preparation
and planting of strawberry
plants. Areas to be planted
should be mounded
80-100cm above existing
ground level. Incorporate
large amounts of compost
into the strawberry bed.
New plants or offsets from
last year’s plants should be
planted 15-20cm apart.
• Fruit trees – Pip and
stone fruit will have shed
their leaves and pruning
can now begin. We do this
as early possible with pip
and stone fruit to avoid
the infection of silver
leaf. Remove all weak and
inward growing branches
and reduce the height
of trees to allow for easy
picking and maintenance.
After pruning, spray with a
copper compound to help
prevent any re-infection of
fungal diseases.
• Hedges – It’s an ideal
time for a final tidy up and
hedge trims. But remember,
there will be no new
growth until spring, so
final trims should not be
too vigorous so the plants
don’t stay bare looking.
• Roses – It is possibly
a little too early for pruning,
and it does depend
largely on the weather.
In the meantime, apply a
copper spray to prevent
infection of fungal diseases
in spring. Remove all dead
leaves around the base of
the rose bushes and apply
compost as both a soil
conditioner and mulch.
• Lawns – Grass growth
has now ceased due to
the cooler weather. It is
an excellent time to level
lawns with a roller as the
moist soil makes levelling
quite easily.
• Paths and walkways
– Paths around the house
and through the garden
can become very slippery
during the winter months;
water blasting can quickly
remedy this problem. In
winter months, we mainly
utilise paths especially
when there are boggy parts
in the garden or lawn. For
this reason, you may wish
to consider additional
paths to provide easier
access.
• Container gardens
– Brighten up decks and
entrances with containers
full of blooming winter
annuals such as cinerarias,
pansies, primulas, snapdragons
and violas.
Finally, check local
garden centres for newly
arrived winter stock of
trees and shrubs as May/
June is a very safe time for
planting.
GARDENING GUIDE
Camellias
Camellias are wonderfully versatile. They
can be grown as a specimen tree, a hedge, a
standard, or as a groundcover; they can also
be espaliered against a wall or fence, grown
as a container plant as well as making a
successful bonsai specimen. They also work
well as fillers under large deciduous trees or
as a background plant to provide a glossy
green foil for summer flowering plants.
Although camellias come in four different
types, the sasanquas are the type currently
looking fabulous. The beauty of sasanqua
camellias is they begin to flower just as many
others begin to fade. They are the first of the
camellia varieties to bloom, starting mid-March
in warmer areas. This family have more flowers
than normal camellias that are smaller, as
are the leaves, which are narrow and pointed.
Sasanquas are also more tolerant of less than
ideal conditions than regular camellias, coping
well with full sun and wind, which makes them a
first choice in hedging; their branching pattern
makes them easy to espalier as well.
Planting
Camellias prefer semi-shaded conditions,
but some varieties will also survive in full sun.
The important thing with camellias is not to
let their roots get too hot, therefore a layer
of mulch is desirable. Camellias like slightly
acidic, moist, free draining soil; if you have
heavy clay incorporate plenty of compost and
gypsum at planting time to aid drainage. If your
soil is still waterlogged you may need to make
a raised bed, as camellias develop root rot in
waterlogged sites.

Fertiliser
Camellias are acid loving plants and don’t like
to be over fed. Use any good acid fertiliser
when planting, adding sheep pellets also to
give them a boost. Yellowing leaves is often
due to a magnesium deficiency; in this case
you should apply Epsom Salts or Sequestron
Plant Tonic.
Pruning
General pruning to keep the plant tidy is all
that is required. If you need to reshape your
camellia, or reduce its height, they can tolerate
severe pruning. Pruning should be done no
later than the end of October otherwise you
are removing next year’s flowers.
Pests
Generally, not a big issue. If you are
experiencing any major infestations, then you
must consider its position. Is your camellia
getting too much wind? Not enough water? Or
are the roots too hot and dry?
Containers
As with all container plants, regular watering
is essential; fertilising, little and often with
Oderings Total Replenish is best. A mulch of
compost is ideal, to keep the roots cool and
stop the potting mix drying out. Some shade is
also beneficial.

Designer going the extra mile
• By Emma-Jane McLennan
WHEN EMMA Glasson was
looking for a name for her
label, she decided to go with
something that meant a lot to her
– Olessya.
On the surface, it goes perfectly
with the classic, romantic
aesthetic of the brand – but for
the designer, it is the Russian
version of her name and a reminder
of her past.
“I was actually born in Russia,
then adopted and brought up in
New Zealand. When I was 16 I
found out that my birth mother
was a seamstress – which was
crazy. Perhaps that’s where I’ve
got my artistic tendencies from,”
she said.
Miss Glasson’s past is woven
intrinsically into her clothing.
As a small child she “always
knew” she wanted to be a fashion
designer.
“When I was as young as seven
or eight I was already making
clothes and things. I would sew
or even staple fabrics together to
make garments for my teddies,”
she said.
As a child, she saw the industry
as glamorous. Remembering,
she laughs: “Now I know that its
really hard work. There are definitely
late nights and times
when you have no life, but I love
it.”
Miss Glasson studied fashion
at Massey University, but
translating that into work was
difficult, she said.
“I was working as a bartender,
which is obviously not what I
wanted to do.”
Her friend, Zara, was in the
same boat. So they put their
heads together and decided “this
was it,” she said.
“We thought, ‘why not start
our own labels?’ It was very
motivating to have a friend going
through the same things, with
DETAIL:

friend (above).
us both getting into the fashion
world at the same time.”
Miss Glasson took the leap and
launched her brand in March
last year.
She works out of a home studio,
and stocks stores such as The
Collective, at the Colombo.
Most of her clothing is readyto-wear,
but she does take a lot
of custom orders – such as a
wedding dress she is currently
sewing. She says it is “all about”
going the extra mile.
“It’s just little things, like I
had a customer buy a dress a
few weeks ago and she wanted it
taken in a little – I did it for her
free because it was over a certain
price point and then delivered it
to her home.”
Her customer base is steadily
growing, she’s learning about
what women want to wear and
growing her business smarts, she
said.
“It’s all about baby steps.
People think I’m too young and
naive sometimes – I’m 24 – but
you’ve just got to go for it no
matter what they think.”

Centre Stage
Why Am I? – 40-year focus on us
IN 1972, a University of Otago
Medical School study started
following the lives of every baby
born in Dunedin for a year, and
has continued to follow them
for the rest of their lives. They
are, according to an ambitious,
four-part documentary series
available now on TVNZ
OnDemand and starting on
TV One next Tuesday, “the
1000 most studied people in the
world”.
In the 40 years since the
Dunedin Longitudinal Study
began, it has been responsible
for “ on average “ a new scientific
paper or journal article every 13
days.
The 1500-plus papers have
uncovered an “avalanche of
information”, which episode
one of Why Am I? “ the first TV
series made about the study “
boldly attempts to wrangle.
Dunedin’s children are
regarded as an accurate predictor
of life in any westernised nation,
and the study’s findings are used
by governmental policy-makers
around the world.
The documentary, while
made in New Zealand, has this
international audience firmly
in mind. Dunedin is described
unsentimentally as “a small city
in New Zealand” by narrator
Susie Ferguson (RNZ’s Morning
Report), whose BBC-educated
voice guides us through the
series.
A great deal of care has
been taken in scripting the
documentary so that it never
gets lost in a dull swirl of talking
heads. Ferguson’s narration is
smart but accessible, a rare treat
for those who hold up the likes
of David Attenborough as the
benchmark for quality intelligent
television. Why Am I? is on that
same level; it feels sort of like
a macro-level companion to
the famous 7 Up documentary
series.
Much of the talking is given
over to various professors, both
from Otago and overseas. Study
director Professor Richie Poulton
is bright and engaging and wants
to know, “why does one child
grow up to be a burglar and end
GUIDE:

that the
foundation
for life is set
early.
up in the klink, and another
grow up to be a concert pianist?”
Professor Terrie Moffitt,
an American whose accent
has been corrupted by New
Zealand vowel sounds, studied
antisocial behaviour in boys
from Dunedin and found almost
identical patterns in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. What they all
agree is that the early years
are vital. “It starts out with
something as small as delayed
speech,” Moffitt explains,
“and gathers force over the life
course.”
The first episode introduces
five basic personality types
identified in participants as
4-year-olds, which were shown
to persist all the way into adult
life. By age 34, well-adjusted
(40 per cent), confident (28
per cent) and reserved (15 per
cent) children were more likely
to be happily married with
friends, careers, and better
health than those identified as
undercontrolled (10 per cent) or
inhibited (7 per cent).
The study is strictly
confidential, so none of the
individual participants appear
in the documentary. Instead,
examples are found both locally
and around the world.
Travelling interviewer
Sean Hogan went to prisons,
institutions and hospitals around
the world during the last phase
of research. He recalls one
participant, who has spent most
of his life in prison, saying about
the study: “I haven’t done very
much in my life, but I’ve done
this.”

Ghost stories at Ferrymead
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
NATALIYA Orshchuk has
always enjoyed the feeling
of being both horrified and
exhilarated.
Now her independent theatre
company will be presenting their
third season of Victorian and
Edwardian ghost stories at
Ferrymead Heritage Park.
Weird Tales of Midwinter will
take audiences on a pre-show
ghost walk around the park
before launching into two ghost
tales – Carmilla and The Sandman
written by Orshchuk.
The show will star well-known
city performers Michael Adams
and David Allen.
Growing up, Orshchuk had an
interest in Gothic English stories.
"I think it is called the sensation
of sweet horror. As a child,
you want to listen to scary stories
because they scare and excite
you," she said.
The idea to tell ghost stories
at Ferrymead Heritage Park first
formed while Orshchuk was visiting
the park on a quiet day.
"I think any ghost story you tell
in the dark with a lantern in your
hand at Ferrymead Heritage
Park on a winter night is going
GHOST STORIES: Performer, producer, director and playwright
writer Nataliya Oryshchuk in the upcoming show Weird Tales of
Midwinter at Ferrymead Heritage Park.

to appear as if it really happened
there," she said.
Born in the Ukraine, Orshchuk
moved to Christchurch 14 years
ago to escape the difficult social
and political situation brewing in
her country.
She initially taught Russian
language at Canterbury University
and is now a learning adviser
at Ara Institute of Canterbury.
In 2012, Orshchuk set up NO
Productions Theatre Collective
with an aim to bring together
local actors, musicians and directors
to create site-specific shows.
She said staying in the city
post-earthquake was not easy
and had a large impact on her
independent theatre group.
Yet since setting up her theatre
company, Orshchuk has enjoyed
great success.
Orshchuk described the theatre's
last production Turn of the
Screw, based on the Gothic ghost
story by Henry James, as her
highest achievement as an actress.
"We are taking this show on a
tour. We are going to perform it
again during Victorian Heritage
week in Oamaru in November."
Orshchuk said the fact her
company will be running a third
season of ghost stories confirms
people love mystery and
romance associated with the
early 20th-century where the
stories are set.
•Weird Tales of Midwinter will
run from June 16 to June 19.

Tribute to
Stevie Wonder
ARA INSTITUTE of
Canterbury jazz tutor Kate
Taylor and her band will
perform Stevie Wonder’s
greatest hits at The Cavell
Leitch New Zealand Jazz and
Blues Festival.
The festival began yesterday
and will run until Sunday.
With a full horn and rhythm
section, Ms
Taylor (left)
and her band
will be highlighting
some
of Wonder’s
famous tracks.
“It’s basically
a pull
together of all the tutors at jazz
school, which is awesome . . .
so this band is a special kind of
mix of us all playing together,”
she said.
While working with New
Zealand jazz singer L.A
Mitchell, Ms Taylor had the
opportunity to open as a
backing vocalist for Stevie
Wonder.
The Stevie Wonder tribute
will be held at the Christchurch
Transitional Cathedral this
Saturday at 7.30pm.

WARRIORS WING Manu
Vatuvei is expected to be
available to make his longawaited
playing return in next
week’s NRL match against the
Brisbane Broncos at Mt Smart
Stadium.
Warriors managing director
Jim Doyle denied reports Vatuvei,
who is contracted through
until the end of 2018, has been
shopped around to English
Super League clubs and Japanese
rugby sides and expects he will
be available for NRL selection
following this week’s bye round.
“No, we are not shopping him
around,” said Doyle.
“His recovery is on the right
track.” He had a personal family
issue that set him back but he
was heading in the right direction.
“I would think he would be
good to play and available for
selection following the bye.”
Vatuvei has not played for
three weeks after he was dropped
to reserve grade and stood down
from Kiwis test selection for his
follow us on facebook.com/riseupchristchurch
involvement in the prescription
pills and energy drinks scandal
following the Warriors embarrassing
42-0 Anzac Day defeat to
Melbourne Storm.
The 30-year-old, 11-year NRL
veteran served his penance in
the second-tier Intrust Super
Premiership match against the
Canterbury Bulldogs on May
1, but the following day was
granted a week’s medical leave
to deal with personal issues after
reacting angrily to criticism via
social media.

Vatuvei expected to be available for Broncos clash
He returned to Warriors training
on May 9 but was not available
for selection for the round
10 defeat to Penrith in Christchurch
as he continued to work
through his recovery.
Coach Andrew McFadden last
week said Vatuvei was close to
making a playing comeback but
ongoing personal issues including
a family bereavement ruled
him out of contention for Saturday’s
38-12 thrashing against
Canberra.
Vatuvei’s manager Peter Brown
Thursday May 26 2016
also denied his client was looking
to leave the Warriors and
insisted reports to the contrary
were false.
“I can categorically deny that
we are shopping him around,”
said Brown.
“He’s had a difficult few weeks
and has just been dealing with
that stuff and trying to get himself
right to play.”
When asked if he expected
Vatuvei to play for the Warriors
again, Brown said: “Of course.
One hundred per cent.”

• By Gregor Paul
RUGBY’S new rich class
will be those players who
have never quite made the
All Blacks.
It is older players who
either never made test
football or who had a brief
taste of it who are going to
be the big winners in the
collective contract agreement
soon to be unveiled.
Players such as Crusader
Ryan Crotty (right), James
Parsons and Hika Elliot,
who are most vulnerable
to overseas offers, are the
sort of men New Zealand
Rugby is desperate to keep.
These older players, who
have either been part of
the All Blacks or close
to, bring the knowledge
and professionalism that
is critical in Super Rugby
teams where the average
age of squad members in
New Zealand is 25.
The vulnerability of
this older group was illustrated
last week when
long-serving Crusader
Andy Ellis announced he
will leave for Japan next
year and fellow former All
Black, Cory Jane, is likely
to head to Asia.
Jane and Ellis bring a
depth of knowledge and
skills to Super Rugby
that are vital in not only
guiding the younger generation,
but also give their
teams trusted decisionmaking
and accuracy on
the field.
But typically, New
Zealand Rugby player
services manager Chris
Lendrum, estimates that
older, experienced players
in New Zealand can earn
double offshore. Someone
with five years’ experience
in Super Rugby and a
handful of All Blacks caps
can earn around $250,000
a season playing here. If
they headed offshore, they
would most likely be earning
a similar figure – but
in pounds or euros. Japan,
too, is an increasingly lucrative
market for players
with a bit of long service.
There have been a handful
of cases in recent seasons
which have fallen well
outside the norm to demonstrate
how in demand
experienced New Zealand
players are. Colin Slade,
Tom Taylor and Charles
Piutau all received offers
that were significantly
more than double that on
offer in New Zealand.
New Zealand Rugby
wanted to keep all three
but they couldn’t get near
the offers that came out of
Europe. Slade was reportedly
offered $750,000 a
season to join Pau, Taylor
$600,000 to end up at
Toulon and Piutau around
$1 million a season to join
Ulster.
These sorts of offers are
not as uncommon as New
Zealand Rugby would like
and chief executive Steve
Tew warns that the egos
of French club owners, in
particular, make it is
likely that these sorts of
numbers will be seen again
for other senior players.
Negotiations are ongoing
between NZR and
the New Zealand Rugby
Players’ Association to
finalise the latest collective
agreement. Although
both parties are sworn to
secrecy over the detail,
Lendrum has made clear
that the key priority will
be to better protect senior
peripheral All Blacks from
leaving.
The broadcast deal
is believed to be worth
around $350 million over
five years – a 100 per cent
lift on the agreement that
expired in 2015. The players
directly benefit from
this increase, with about
37 per cent of that money
paying their salaries.
In addition to earning
higher basic rates of pay,
it is thought that a pot of
money will be put aside to
incentivise older players
to stay. For instance, it
may be a massive bonus
payment kicks in if they
stay in New Zealand for a
certain number of years.

Highlanders concentrate on defence
HIGHLANDERS assistant coach
Scott McLeod has still not signed
to return to the franchise next year
but says he is “pretty interested’’ in
staying in the south.
However, McLeod has not yet
put pen to paper to remain as
the assistant coach for the team
as rumours swirl over whether
he will be following head coach
Jamie Joseph to Japan.
Ever since word spread late last
year that Joseph was heading to
Japan there had been suggestions
he would be taking some of his
coaching staff with him.
Assistant coach Tony Brown
has signed for next year while
McLeod is still working through
with Highlanders management a
deal for 2017.
At the moment, McLeod, the
defence coach for the franchise,
is concentrating on what is next
on the agenda and it is does not
come much bigger than a match
against the Hurricanes in Wellington
on Friday night.
The game has been labelled
the “rematch’’ by the Hurricanes
marketing people but McLeod
said any talk of the game being a
replay of last year’s final was not
being taken up by the Highlanders
and the players.
“We’ve not talked about the
final. And so it shouldn’t be as
we are sixth and seventh. If we
were both top of the table then
maybe it would be talked about,’’
McLeod said.
Both teams had the bye last
week but the Highlanders did
not have a week off.
They trained three days last
week as the side tried to keep
momentum going following
its two excellent wins over the
Chiefs and then the Crusaders.
Coming off the two great
victories, the Highlanders have
now run into a bye and will then
have more than a month off the
paddock as the season stops for
the test window.

Highlanders need to work on is
the starts of matches.
Against both the Chiefs and
the Crusaders the Highlanders
were slow out of the blocks.
“We got put under a hell of a
lot of pressure against the Chiefs
and the Crusaders, mainly at
the start of those games. Just the
momentum they got and the
line breaks they were able to do,’’
McLeod said.
“So we have to shore up our
defensive line a little bit more.’’

Driven
MX-5 goes as good as it looks
• By Ross Kiddie
I GUESS one of the most
difficult processes a car
manufacturer has to go through
is combining body design along
with mechanical purpose, there’s
no point in making a car look
good if it doesn’t perform in the
manner for which it is destined.
I’ll be bold enough to say
that Mazda’s MX-5 is the perfect
combination of appealing
sports car looks along with the
mechanical components which
make it an exciting, vibrant
drive. And as a total package it
is sheer genius; from $40,995
the price is affordable, the thrill
you get each time you are in it is
immense, and in terms of practicality,
desirability and performance
there are few rivals.
Regular readers will recall my
1.5-litre MX-5 evaluation in
these columns in November last
year, this evaluation focuses on
the 2-litre variant, bearing in
mind that it lists at $46,995, and
$48,495 in automatic gearbox
form, as tested.
As much as I like manuals, I’m
quite pleased the test car was an
automatic. The 1.5-litre I drove
last time was a manual and to
schedule the other option was a
sensible decision. The six-speeder
has low and close ratios for
that immediacy under acceleration
that you would expect from
a serious sports car, the MX-5 in
this form is quick, it will cut out
a standstill to 100km/h time of
6.5sec, and will lunge through a
highway overtake in 5.2sec.
Alongside the paddle-shift
sequential changing options
the MX-5 in this form gets an
engine management process
which, at the flick of a button,
hastens engine urgency.
The ‘sport’ setting awakens the
engine to another level, it is
frenetic, and somewhat urgent.
I don’t know whether it’s me
getting a little old, but I far preferred
the more moderate setting,
and even in that mode if
you want vivid acceleration it is
easily available.
MAZDA MX-5: Convertible operation can be done with one hand.
Like all MX-5s before it, the
newcomer incorporates engine
sound, not so much through
the exhausts, but the engine sits
close to the cockpit and you are
well aware when it is working
hard. It’s not uncomfortable, and
most would welcome the intrusion
– that’s the way it is with
MX-5 and it’s a matter of enjoying
it.
I took the test car to Lake
Coleridge village, it was a beautiful,
warm autumn day so the
roof was folded (one easy movement
with the left arm), and it
was an experience true to the
concept of convertible motoring.
In my introduction I mentioned
the mechanics which
make the MX-5 so capable as a
sports car. The rear-wheel-drive
layout, the fully independent
suspension, and the near perfect
front/rear weight split combined
to produce handling of sheer
genius.
The MX-5 isn’t over-tyred,
it doesn’t need huge rubber to
glean grip, the 205/45 x 17in
Bridgestone Potenza tyres do
have sticky properties, but at
just 1033kg the tyres are never
loaded, you just point into a corner,
apply power, and the exit is
forceful. You can enjoy an oversteer
type of handling feel if that
is what you like, but before you
• Price – Mazda MX-5,
$48,495
• Dimensions – Length,
3915mm; width, 1735mm;
height, 1230mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
rear-wheeldrive,
1998cc, 118kW,
200Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance – 0-100km/
h, 6.5sec
• Fuel usage – 6.9l/100km
get too playful the traction control
system will negate that feel.
Of course, you can be tempted to
switch that off, I wasn’t that brave
but I can report that even with
TCS activated you can still have
an enormous amount of fun with
the way the MX-5 handles.
Everything about its construction
is engineered to deliver the
involvement factor as a driver,
the steerage is precise, the way
the suspension absorbs bumps
yet keeps tyre contact to ground,
and with the low centre of gravity
there is no lurching within the
handling process, the technology
within the chassis dynamics is
biased toward driver involvement.
Mazda rate the 1998cc, twincamshaft,
16-valve engine with
118kW and 200Nm, that’s up
about 22kW and 50Nm on the
1.5-litre unit. It’s not a huge step
up, but for those who are of the
mindset that bigger is better
then it’s there for you, however,
I’d opt for the entry-level unit, it
is a wee honey.
That aside, the 2-litre works
through the transmission unimpeded
and has a broad spread of
torque which makes driving in
all environments adaptable along
with a fun element if you have
the desire to ease the accelerator
down.
And, as you would expect
from Mazda, fuel consumption
isn’t excessive. It claims a
6.9-litre per 100km (41mpg)
combined cycle average, my
time with the test car saw the
fuel usage readout hover around
8l/100km (35mpg), along with
an amazing 4l/100km (70mpg)
instantaneous readout at
100km/h, the engine spinning
slowly at just 1750rpm, a result
of a tall top gear. That’s the beauty
of a six-speed automatic, the
ratios provide that immediacy
when you want swift movement
off the mark along with broadening
out to provide economy at
highway speed.
The MX-5 is also very Mazdaesque
inside, there’s a large central
screen from which you can
sight all of the major functions,
it is controlled by a centre console
dial. It also gets a good level
of kit for comfort and convenience
and, of course, safety items
are in abundance.
As much as I enjoyed the
MX-5 in both forms, I’m an
avid rotary fan and still yearn to
own a tidy RX8. The experience
Mazda has capitilised on during
the years they have been producing
both sports cars has given
it the ability and capacity to
produce exciting models. I can’t
see that changing, but I bet the
pressure is on internally to create
another masterpiece five years
down the track.

A home might be warm and dry, but
as we transition from summer to
winter there is that lack of cosiness
to our homes. By following a few
simple steps you can enhance and
create more warmth within your
home.
Roll out the Rugs
hardwood floors and tiles are
brilliant during the summer months,
but come winter, your feet are likely
to feel a little different. using large
rugs in the main areas of your home
will help to insulate a room and keep
your feet warm. The textured look of
a rug will also add a feel of cosiness
to a room.
Add textuRe
Just as you do with winter fashion,
creating warmth in your interiors is
all about adding texture.
In your bedroom, swap your
summer duvet for a thick, plush
winter one, then finish the look with
layers of throws and
cushions.
Invest in good-quality
throws. Choose a few
that match the décor in
your home, and then
literally throw them over
couches and beds. The
more they look like you
just dropped them on the
couch or bed, the better

When sunlight passes through the

them back up at night.

DEALER FINANCE LIMITED
Dealer Finance Limited and the Commerce Commission have entered into a settlement agreement relating to
overcharged interest on loans. This resulted from Dealer Finance not crediting part repayments made by borrowers
against the unpaid balance of the loan as soon as practicable, and as a consequence, overcharging interest to the
borrower.
If you purchased a vehicle through one of the car dealers listed below between April 2005 and April 2015, which was
financed through Dealer Finance, you may be entitled to a refund of any overcharged interest, together with a 5%
uplift payment.
Dealer Finance has recently sent notification to all affected clients by mail. If you have not received this notification
please contact Dealer Finance by email on enquiries@dfl.co.nz to find out whether you are entitled to a refund.
Please include your full name, current and previous addresses, and if known, the car dealer you purchased your car
through and the vehicle registration number.
PLEASE NOTE - NO contact is required from you:
• if you still have a current open loan(s) with Dealer Finance; or
• if you have previously repaid a loan(s) with Dealer Finance (taken out between above dates) but have a current
loan(s) with Dealer Finance,
as we will be crediting your open loan or we have made or are in the process of making appropriate internal
adjustments.
A copy of the settlement agreement can be found on www.comcom.govt.nz
