GAGGED?

Cathedral

group say

they are

muzzled

• By Gabrielle Stuart

PHILIP BURDON and Jim

Anderton say they have been

gagged from talking publicly

about the future of Christ Church

Cathedral.

The former MPs, who are

trying to save the Cathedral from

demolition, signed confidentially

contracts in September last year

preventing them speaking about

a report carried out by Miriam

Dean QC into the arguments over

whether to save or demolish the

building.

That lapsed after the report was

released late last year, but this

week they told The Star they were

still told not to talk.

The gagging order came to light

this week when The Star asked the

two former MPs for an update on

the Cathedral.

Mr Burdon said he could not

talk about anything involved in

the process.

“[Gerry] Brownlee’s

office has requested complete

confidentiality, and accordingly

we respect his complete

confidentiality and it is entirely

up to his office to decide what

information, if any, they wish to

release,” he said.

But yesterday, Mr Brownlee’s

office threw confusion on the

gagging order when it referred

questions from The Star about

the confidentiality issue to

the Department of the Prime

Minister and Cabinet.

At a Glance

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST

This week in history saw the New Zealand Boxing Association

being formed in Christchurch on July 4, 1902. Hundreds of

people were evacuated as serious flooding affected the city

on July 4, 1977. Three young men drowned in the Avon River

as a result of a boating mishap on July 6, 1887. Widespread

flooding also caused problems in the province on July 7, 1908.

The Canterbury Society of Arts was formed on July 8, 1880.

Civic tree planting began on July 9, 1863. Part of the day’s

planting was a commemorative tree, generally regarded as the

beginning of the Botanic Gardens. Hagley Park and Botanic

Gardens were included in the city boundary on July 10, 1922.

A record crowd of over 57,000 watched the All Blacks play

against the British Lions at Lancaster Park on July 10, 1971.

Giant mural lifts spirits

‘Freak’ Wilson’s

latest

masterpiece

CHRISTCHURCH street artist

Wongi ‘Freak’ Wilson’s latest

artwork continues to enthrall

the Garden City.

The mural on the side of the

UniMed building at the corner

of Gloucester and Manchester

Sts was completed last month

and shows two children playing

hide and seek.

It was commissioned by

UniMed New Zealand and set

up by the street art collective

OiYou.

Wilson (left)

said as far as he

was aware there

are no plans to

build in front of

the mural.

“So hopefully

it’ll be there for

some time.”

The giant images are

modelled on his and his wife

Emma’s niece, and on the son of

a good friend.

Born and raised in Sydenham

in Christchurch where he still

lives, Wilson’s cheerful murals

continue to lift spirits city-wide.

He says his art has evolved

from a hobby to a full-time

•From page 1

His office said the DPMC was

leading discussions between

Great Christchurch Buildings

Trust and the Anglican Diocese.

But a DPMC spokesman told

The Star the confidentiality

agreement only applied until the

report was released late last year,

inferring Mr Anderton and Mr

Burdon were in fact able to talk

publicly.

support of Emma, who is an

accountant, and boosted by the

opportunities brought about in

post-quake Christchurch.

He did a Certificate in Design

2009, and has never looked

back, doing dozens of murals

confidentially agreement lapsed

he was told that any comment

would have to come from a

former Canterbury Earthquake

Recovery Authority senior

staff member now based in

Mr Brownlee’s office, who also

liaises with the DPMC.

Mr Anderton said he was

abiding by that directive.

But a central city developer

Earnest Duval said someone

needed to talk about what was

documented at his website,

www.wongi.co.nz

His interest in graffiti developed

at a young age, watching

the art form grow over the

last two decades from virtual

non-existence to a blossoming,

pervasive creative influence

across the country.

He has played a major role in

transformation graffiti art in

happening with the Cathedral,

because the silence was fuelling

uncertainty for developers and

property owners.

“It is such a significant project

for Christchurch because it is

a catalyst for so much development

in the area,” he said.

He said he understood the

details of the discussions being

kept under wraps, but either the

Government or the Cathedral

campaigners should be allowed

Christchurch through both his

hundreds of large-scale murals

across the city, and through

several exhibitions at Canterbury

Museum and the COCA

Gallery.

His medium of choice is the

spray can but his trademark is a

diverse range of styles featuring

a blend of traditional graffiti

and photorealism.

Cathedral group say they are muzzled

to give updates on the process.

Mr Anderton said the Government

had taken keeping information

under wraps too far.

“I think it’s the time, and well

past it, that they could actually

make an announcement about

what is actually happening.”

A spokesman for the Anglican

Diocese said it was not aware

of or involved in any confidentiality

agreement around the

discussions.

In Brief

86-YEAR-OLD DIES IN FIRE

An 86-year-old reported to be

Raymond Leslie John Burnett died

after a fire tore through his home

south of Cheviot yesterday. An

elderly woman, believed to be his

wife, managed to escape the fire

which had engulfed the house,

police said. Fire crews were called

to the burning house, on Gore Bay,

about 7.40am.

BUS PATRONAGE

Patronage of the city’s orange line

bus route was up 8 per cent in

May compared to the same time

last year, while patronage of the

Orbiter was down 6.2 per cent.

The blue, yellow and purple lines

were at close to the same level of

patronage. The total number of

people using these five main lines

was 709,432, a fall of 1.2 per cent

compared to the previous year.

ARTIST DONATES PAINTINGS

Christchurch artist Rangi Downes

has donated his paintings to 51

hospitals and doctors’ offices

around the South Island, and has

no plans to stop. The 75-year-old

has returned from a road trip

delivering the Mickey Mouse

paintings, which he began to

donate after hearing the stories

of children fighting cancer. He

is now working on a series of

paintings for sick children in

Christchurch.

Couple not shaken after grisly find

THE Christchurch

holidaymaker who found a

bundled up human head washed

ashore in Fiji says he knew as

soon as he picked it up what he

held in his hands.

The gruesome find is believed

to be the latest in a gory case

of a Russian couple murdered

and dismembered on the Pacific

island.

A host of body parts, including

two pairs of severed feet,

have washed to shore in the past

fortnight.

Graeme Bickley and his wife

Jan were walking along Natadola

beach on Monday morning

when they spotted a green

bundle sitting about 10m out

from shore in low tide.

The couple, like many around

them, were fascinated by the

murder mystery and had been

reading as much as they could

about it.

Joking at first, they wondered

whether this might be more

body parts, Mr Bickley told the

New Zealand Herald.

“My wife spotted it and she

said: ‘Oh, look at that’ and I said:

‘Oh, it’ll be more body parts’.

“[I was] just joking, but when I

went out into the water and bent

down to pick it up and found it

was so heavy . . . you think: ‘Oh,

okay’.”

The bundle, tied and secured

with nylon fishing line, was

weighed down by rocks, which

made it hard to carry, Mr Bickley

said.

“I got it to shore finally and

put it down on the sand and the

stones rattled in it and I thought:

‘Oh no, this is not good’.”

Although he and his wife

chose not to open the bundle,

police later confirmed it contained

a human head, but did

not say who the victim was.

“It’s a funny little feeling in

your tummy. Like, that was

somebody’s life a few days ago,”

Mr Bickley said.

“It’s also a funny feeling about

how the people who had put that

package together had been so

inhuman.

“[They had] been able to cut it

up and spend considerable time

putting it into this parcel, which

was very neatly and securely fastened

so it actually survived all the

tides that brought it ashore again.”

Fiji police this week said DNA

tests showed the body parts

belonged to Russian couple Yuri

and Natalia Shipulin, who went

missing on June 16.

Police believe the Russians,

who had reportedly been in Fiji

since 2011, were murdered and

dismembered.

Media reported this week that

detectives had information a

chainsaw was missing from a

farm the couple were running on

the main island of Viti Levu.

The Fiji Times said they were

leasing the property and operating

a photography business, with

one friend describing them as

“soulmates”.

However, their business

partner Andrew Luzanenko told

the Fiji Sun they had financial

difficulties after the farm was

devastated by Super Cyclone

Winston this year.

Mr and Mrs Bickley were back

in their Christchurch home by

yesterday evening, having been

due to end their holiday by then

anyway.

They were left not too shaken

by the grisly find.

“Once we’d spoken to the police

and the [Fijian] newspaper,

obviously we thought about it all

day and it did leave a funny feeling

in my tummy I must admit.

“Here’s a person’s life gone and

there’s people probably not far

from us who cut them up and

put them in a package like that.”



Millions to set up Otakaro


OTAKARO HAS budgeted

more than $6 million for its

set up, in spite of re-employing

many Canterbury Earthquake

Recovery Authority staff and

moving into its former office.

As of May, Otakaro had spent

$3.9 million of the $6.1 million

budgeted for its set up.

Otakaro is the Crown company

which has taken over control

from CERA of the city’s major

anchor projects.

The $3.9 million spend

included the cost of setting up

the office, recruiting staff, the

due diligence process, setting up

policies and procedures and the

“co-ordination and project management

of the establishment”.

That included $348,000 on

recruiting staff, including

$108,000 on international recruitment

for a chief executive.

Chief executive Albert Brantley

was found in Canterbury. Of

the other 90 staff, 52 came from

CERA.

When asked for a breakdown

of the other costs involved in the

set up, an Otakaro spokesman

told The Star that the questions

could not be answered this week

and would have to be sent as an

Official Information Act request.

TAKE OVER: Otakaro is based on level eight of the HSBC

building on Worcester Boulevard, where CERA was located

until it closed in April.

But Otakaro chairman Ross

Butler (below) said the costs

were comparable

to any company

created to deliver a

similar programme

of sizeable projects.

“Establishing

Otakaro Ltd in

just 14 weeks was a significant

undertaking given the scale and

magnitude of its role.

“The company’s ability to

maintain momentum on the

anchor projects following the

transition from CERA is a testament

to a focus on efficiency

during the set up period,” Mr

Butler said.

Minister supporting Greater

Christchurch Regeneration

Gerry Brownlee would not answer

questions about the set up

costs or what oversight he had

of them. He said they were best

answered by Otakaro.

In a report to a parliamentary

committee, Otakaro said more

of the $6.1 million would be

spent this year reviewing inherited

systems and “bedding in

key establishment policies and

processes”.

Labour’s Canterbury

spokeswoman

Megan Woods (right)

said the fact that so

much was being spent

on setting up systems

concerned her.

“It really highlights that

CERA wasn’t fit for purpose if

five and a half years later we’re

now having to put these systems

in place.”

But she said the money would

be worth spending if the new

systems could speed up the

process.

“If this is $6 million invested

in getting things moving, it’s

a good investment. But what I

don’t want to see is good money

going after bad. So the proof will

be in the pudding, really,” she

said.

Full house for

Crown-owned

company

A MAN who led the restoration of

Catholic Diocese of Christchurch

buildings, and delivered projects

for Disney has snapped up the

last senior managerial position at

Otakaro.

Keith Beal will be the Crownowned

company’s general manager,

strategy and property opportunities,

starting next month.

He rounds out a now fully

staffed senior management team

of four, plus chief executive Albert

Brantley.

The company is charged with

delivering the city’s anchor projects.

It took over from the now

defunct CERA.

General manager development

Robert Fiske, who has been employed

by BHP Billiton in Perth,

managing a $6 billion portfolio.

General counsel is Ruth Keating

who relocated from Melbourne

to take up the role. She has held

positions at Meridian Energy and

several law firms here and abroad.

Former CERA employee Dave

Mills was appointed to the role

of general manager corporate

services and chief financial officer.

He has also held positions with

New Zealand Cricket and Meridian

Energy.

In Brief

Underground insurance woes

MAN ARRESTED AFTER

SCIRT: The Wairakei Diversion has been repaired as part of the

major upgrade to the city’s wastewater network.

THE CITY council is facing a

multi-billion dollar problem as it

tries to find an insurer and

options to cover the network of

underground pipes.

It has been crunching the

numbers over the past few

months on how much insurance

to get and how to get it.

Currently, there is $6 billion

of underground infrastructure

with $100 million cover

through the Local Authority

Protection Programme Disaster

Fund.

Above ground, buildings and

other assets are well-covered,

with $1.8 billion coverage

for $2.2 billion of assets, but

underground is another story,

said city councillor and the

insurance committee deputy

chairman, Raf Manji.

“Certainly it is a risk that

we’ve had to carry for a long

time. We do have a huge amount

of underground infrastructure

that is not insured,” he said.

It’s a risk mitigated by the “resilience”

built into the networks

– plastic pipes instead of ceramic

that could take “a lot of shaking”,

Cr Manji said.

The problem is to go to market

insurers need enough information

to base a price on, said city

council financial officer Peter

Gudsell.

But the city is still undergoing

extensive repairs, meaning there

is “insufficient information to

seek a response from the market”,

he said.

The city had $200 million

of cover with LAPP after the

September 2010 and February

2011 earthquakes, which was

paid out.

Cr Manji favours getting

“catastrophe insurance” or

parametric insurance for the underground

infrastructure. This

insures for a particular event.

In a disaster, the Government

covers 60 per cent of the

cost, with councils paying the

remainder.

But that is under review by the

Local Government Risk Agency,

forcing councils to look at other

insurance options.

“I think the gut feeling is

councils will be taking on more

of their own risk,” said Cr Manji.

Auckland City Council director

legal and risk Katherine

Anderson said it was looking

to purchase cover for its underground

stormwater assets, with a

replacement value of $2.9 billion.

The normally candid deputy

mayor, Vicki Buck, who is on the

committee, said she preferred

not to comment on the “minefield”

that was the city council’s

insurance.

But she did say that after the

issues with Civic Assurance,

the city council has been more

cautious.

It took a year of mediation

with Civic Assurance’s reinsurers

before it received its

global settlement in December

of $635 million.

“Our approach to insurance is

once burnt [be] incredibly careful.

Insurance is a regular subject

and there are regular updates,”

she said.

INDECENT EXPOSURE

Police arrested a man on Tuesday

after he exposed himself to a

young child in Riccarton. The

man is his 40s is known to police.

The incident happened about

3.30pm in Kmart. He was taken

into custody and investigations

are continuing.

HUNTER SHOT IN LEG

A man is recovering after being

accidentally shot in the leg by his

hunting partner at Glenthorne

Station, near Lake Coleridge on

Sunday. The pair and a third

man, all from Selwyn, were on a

hunting trip when the accident

happened. Senior Sergeant Tony

Beaumont said one of the men

had been unloading his rifle when

it discharged. Police were likely to

lay charges, he said.

CORRECTION

In The Star last week, it was

reported that the city council

made the decision to put $70,000

toward the SingularityU summit

behind closed doors. The grant

was discussed behind closed

doors in a public excluded

committee meeting, but the

final decision was made in a

meeting which was open to the

public. The Star apologises for the

error.

Prisoner-to-staff

ratio high

in Christchurch


TWO CHRISTCHURCH prisons

have the worst prisoner-to-staff

ratios in the country.

Rolleston Prison has the highest,

with 3.6 prisoners to each

person on staff. Christchurch

Men’s Prison has the second highest,

with 2.8 prisoners to each staff

member.

Most prisons have about two

prisoners to one staff member,

with 1.5 prisoners to each staff

member the lowest ratio.

The numbers were revealed in

a report to a parliamentary committee,

which said the ratios could

be influenced by the age and

design of the prison, the type of

programmes on site and the security

classification of the prisoners.

Corrections Association of NZ

president Alan Whitley said the

real ratio from day-to-day at the

prisons was much higher than the

numbers reported.

He said the real ratio from

day-to-day could be as high as one

staff member to 20 prisoners.

The numbers reflected the

ratio if every staff member was

at work at one time, but because

they worked shifts that never happened,

he said.

UTO ENOSI Tuipulotu came

to Akaroa four years ago to

get an education so he could

support his family back in

Tonga.

But now he is in

Christchurch Hospital battling

a rare form of cancer.

The 19-year-old had been

having trouble with a racing

heart while at rugby training,

and went for a check-up.

It was then

when the

doctor found

a cancerous

growth on his

heart.

The building

apprentice is

now in hospital undergoing

chemotherapy treatment.

His former history teacher,

Garry Brittenden, who helped

bring him to New Zealand, has

set up a Givealittle page to help

raise money to bring his family

over to be with him while he

undergoes treatment.

His father, Siaosi, arrived in

Christchurch on Saturday, but

his mother Lou and his two

brothers and sister are still to

travel here. The money raised

would also go towards his

ongoing medical costs.

After six days, the page had

raised more than $16,200.

Mr Brittenden said he

was “blown away” with the

response.

He said Uto was a real role

model for the youth in Akaroa,

and was loved by all.

Uto moved to Akaroa to

attend the area school for year

11. He stayed with various host

families during his time.

Mr Brittenden said he

worked extremely hard to gain

NCEA levels one, two and

three, so he could go on to get a

job as a building apprentice.

“It was just through bloody

determination, he just put his

head down, he’s a real role

model,” he said.

“He knew that this was his

opportunity to help his family.”

Uto joined the Akaroa

Volunteer Fire Brigade while

he was at school, and in

2014, made the New Zealand

TALENT: Uto

Enosi Tuipulotu

in 2014, and

played for

this year.

team, which played the Chiefs

under 18 team.

He has also played for the

Canterbury Country and

Ellesmere representative teams,

and was a Lincoln Colts player

this year.

News

Davies sets sights

on Brexit debacle

• By Tom Doudney

DEPARTING Hagley-

Ferrymead Community Board

member Joe Davies is off to

Brexit-land but will keep in

touch with grass roots politics in

Christchurch for the remainder

of his term.

Mr Davies, 21, will leave for

the United Kingdom in the next

two weeks, where he hopes to

become involved with “radical”

politics in the wake of the country’s

vote to leave the European

Union.

The move will also enable

him to spend more time with

his Swedish girlfriend Lovisa

Limseth.

He will not seek re-election

in October. However, he has

decided not to resign early – in

spite of not being able to attend

the last five board meetings – so

he can keep in touch with what

is happening in the ward for the

remainder of his term.

Mr Davies said he had asked

for a resolution to be passed

at the next community board

meeting allowing him to finish

his term without picking up a

salary.

LOVE AND COUNTRY: Joe

Davies, left, with his Swedish

girlfriend Lovisa Limseth. Mr

Davies will soon return to the

United Kingdom, where he

was born.

“I think Brexit has provided

one of the most radical opportunities

for politics in my lifetime

and although I am a Kiwi, my

blood is British.”

Mr Davies reiterated his desire

to become a New Zealand MP in

the future.

“It has been an absolute

honour to serve the people and I

say with absolute certainty that

I will return to New Zealand

when the radical times arrive

here.”

A woman had to be cut from a car after a

crash in Aranui on Tuesday night.

Two women, in their 20s, were taken to

Christchurch Hospital, one with serious

injuries and the other with moderate

injuries, at about 7.30pm.

Fire appliances from the Wainoni and

Christchurch stations spent 30min using

hydraulic rescue gear to remove the roof

of the car to extract one of the women.

The car hit a parked vehicle and

smashed it against a nearby dairy on the

corner of Hampshire St and Marlow Rd.

The Star

Viewpoint

Convention Centre Precinct

decision met with approval

I WAS very pleased last week

to be able to deliver some

extremely positive news to

Christchurch residents about the

future of the Convention Centre

Precinct.

In a nutshell, months of design

and planning work has put

us in a good position to open

Christchurch’s new Convention

Centre in late 2019.

This news has been met with

widespread approval from local

government and the business

community, all of whom know

how important the conventions

market is for the region, and

New Zealand.

Having successfully completed

the early design and master

planning stages for the precinct,

Otakaro Ltd has released an

indicative design for the Convention

Centre.

As the Crown-owned company

set up to deliver central

city anchor projects on the Government’s

behalf, Otakaro will

now seek contractors to finalise

the design and then construct

the facility.

Ōtākaro Ltd will also work

with parties interested in opportunities

to develop the wider

Precinct, which has considerable

space for accommodation, car

parking and other potential

uses.

Work on the site will begin

immediately, first with rerouting

of telecommunications and

other early enabling works,

and within the next two weeks

preparations will begin for the

Colombo St to Oxford Tce section

of Gloucester St to close by

the end of July.

Engagement with potential

early works contractors will

begin immediately, to allow

substantial earthworks to begin

in October.

Having certainty around this

project is important for the city’s

everyone for their patience as we

took the necessary time to make

this decision on the path ahead.

The Government remains

absolutely committed to a Convention

Centre Precinct that is

world-class, and offers quality

accommodation, hospitality and

retail to support the convention

facilities.

Community boards

Fendalton-

Community Board

deputy chairman

David Cartwright

writes about the

role a community board

plays in society and his

time in local body politics

over the past three years.

AS WE approach the local body

elections, I find myself having

many interesting and sometimes

challenging conversations with

friends, colleagues, and people

in the community regarding

the process and purpose of

community boards.

As with anything, the

opinions and level of

understanding around the role

of community boards covers the

entire spectrum from those who

see just another pointless layer

of bureaucracy, to those who are

very supportive and really value

the community level advocacy

and decision-making the boards

can provide.

Often the strongest supporters

are those who have had some

kind of contact with the board,

perhaps through being involved

with a deputation, receiving

a grant for a community

event, or communicating with

board members regarding

improvements to local facilities

or infrastructure.

demands at Jellie Park are being

addressed.

that everyone is unique, so why settle for a standard-plan-home when you can have a purpose-designed

This is testament to our customers who have been amazed at the savings with Onyx, but also hadn’t realised

their budget would allow for a such quality spec and design.

Email us your views on anything Christchurch editor@starmedia.kiwi or

comment on https://www.facebook.com/riseupchristchurch/

have a role to play

At the heart of it, the success

and relevance of a community

board can be measured on its

ability to communicate with and

advocate for their community –

that is our purpose.

As I come to the end of my

second term on the Fendalton-

Waimairi Community Board,

the range of issues and events

we are involved in continues to

excite and motivate me.

The small things really do

make a difference when it comes

to improving wellbeing, safety,

and engagement at a community

level.

Some of the highlights of

this term has been delivering

the new Burnside Park

fitness track, progressing

the replacement Bishopdale

Library, addressing car parking

demands at Jellie Park, and

granting funds to the talented

youth of our ward to attend local

and international sporting and

cultural events.

Recently the board has heard

deputations on the intersection

of Gardiners and Harewood Rds

and looked at various short and

long-term solutions to address

the ever increasing traffic on our

roads.

Other deputations have

covered issues such as the

drying up of our rivers and

streams, increasing quarrying

and land use issues, and the

removal of problem trees on

health or safety grounds.

Of course, not all issues

can be solved at a community

board level, but board members

can elevate any issue with

council staff, request additional

information, and work to find

an agreeable outcome.

All of this means one of the

most important attributes of

an effective board member is

the ability to really listen and

communicate with residents,

other board members, city

councillors and city council

staff.

So when you come to complete

your voting papers in October,

take the time to find out more

about the candidates, think

about the issues that matter to

you and your neighbours, and

take a pro-active approach to

deciding who will be your voice

in the community.

the issues your community

board should be focusing

OVER THE last months I have

been hearing from people all over

Christchurch that there is more

crime in their neighbourhoods

and less local police to be seen on

their streets.

So, when the police statistics

were released last month the

comparison between 2015 and

2016 confirmed what I have been

hearing loud and clear on the

ground.

More cars have been stolen and

more houses have been broken

into. Burglaries jumped from 524

in 2015 to 708 in 2016 – that’s an

increase of 35 per cent.

Across the country the increase

has been just 11 per cent – so

we need to ask why Canterbury

is tracking at our three times

the national rate? This is not a

winning scoreboard in any Cantabarian’s

book! Add to this the

increase in stolen vehicles of 24

per cent and it’s pretty clear that

crime is increasing.

That’s why it’s so disappointing

to see that Canterbury has had

a 21 per cent cut in foot patrols

over the last year. As people are

beginning to spread out again

and the CBD is slowly coming

to life, crime is on the increase. I

would have thought we would be

seeing more police out and about

Crime increasing

not fewer. Especially when other

parts of the country have seen an

increase in foot patrols.

Bobbies on the beat

make a difference – I

have seen first-hand the

success the intensive

neighbourhood policing

in Riccarton has

made. Key to this success

was a local policeman

known to the local

community.

There’s no doubt in

mind that the Canterbury

Police, ably led by

Canterbury District Commander

Superintendent John Price, is doing

all it can to stem this tide. But

there is only so much they can do

with no additional commitment

from Government to support

their efforts.

There was some money for

police in the 2016 Budget but it

does not mean extra boots on

the ground. The new money is

earmarked for deserved pay increases

but does not mean more

crime-fighters out on our streets

catching criminals.

Greg O’Conner, president

of the Police Association,

noted at budget

time that Operational

Commanders will be

disappointed that there

will be no significant

new operational funding

to enable them to

deliver essential policing

services.

What is needed is a

proper commitment to Canterbury

and not the business as

usual mind-set of the National

Government. Just as with health,

EQC, housing, transport and

education, policing needs to be

seen in the context of the last five

and a half years in Canterbury.

Contaminated

properties

list out soon

THE OWNERS of more than 3000

Selwyn properties will soon find

out that their land has been listed as

potentially contaminated.

A two-year programme, carried

out by Environment Canterbury

on behalf of the Selwyn District

Council, has resulted in the identification

of 1837 new potentially

contaminated sites, split between

3152 parcels of land.

The news has raised concerns

that land owners’ property values

could be negatively affected by the

information, which will be made

publicly available on an online

database.

However, ECan scientist Davina

McNickel said people had a right

to know what their land had been

used for in the past.

“Being on the list means people

will know whether they should

graze the land, or perhaps fence it

off from stock,” she said.

“It also means people will

understand the implications of

any proposed development or

subdivision of the land and whether

they need to test the land first.”

The sites, which belong to 1783

different owners, will be added

to the Hazardous Activities and

Industries List.

Neighbours take on oil giant

• By Andrew King

RESIDENTS ARE standing

up to one of the biggest petrol

companies in the world as it

tries to expand its Edgeware

site.

BP Oil New Zealand owns BP

Edgeware and has applied for a

resource consent to expand its

site at the corner of Edgeware

Rd and Cranford St, adding another

four pumps and 22 more

car parks.

To do so, it has bought two

properties north of the site to

expand into.

But residents on Cornwall St

are fuming at the proposal, saying

they weren’t consulted and it

will ruin the area.

One of opponents, Rob Hull,

said it was not what the area

needed and what the Edgeware

Village Master Plan set out to

achieve.

“Our main concern is that

it is completely counter to the

district plan and what was

envisaged for the future of the

Edgeware village,” he said.

The master plan aims to

restore the area as a thriving

shopping centre and community

hub.

Another nearby resident,

Monique Posthuma, said all

they can do to battle a “big

commercial corporate entity”

was to “jump up and down”.

“Our biggest concern is it is

going into a residential area.

It’s going away from the plan.

What can we do?” she said.

BP Oil communications and

external affairs manager Shelley

Brady said the demand for service

in the area had increased.

She said improvements needed

to be made to keep up with

that demand and make sure

congestion does not become a

common problem.

“We have been following the

council approval process and

it’s ultimately their decision as

to what will and won’t be approved,”

she said.

City council head of resource

consents John Higgins said the

Edgeware master plan does not

cover the site where the expansion

is proposed.

“It’s important to note that

a master plan does not have

the same relevance when making

notification decisions,” he

said.

“This is because the notification

decision focuses on adverse

effects, rather than the broader

planning assessment that is

required when a decision is

being made whether to grant

the application resource consent.”

election brings us a new Board

with two previous members having

been re-elected along with three

new parent representatives and

a change of staff representative.

Having a strong Board which is

willing and able to critique and

review policy will see the school

continuing to look forward with

positivity.

The future is bright as we all work

together to ensure our students

leave school being open-minded,

self-aware, civically minded

and successful, confident and

optimistic.

PRINCIPAL

Year 6 pupils enjoy visit to Hillmorton

Activities impress crowd on Open Night

A large crowd

of parents and

prospective students

took the opportunity

recently to attend our

Open Night and really

see what Hillmorton

is about! They

couldn’t help but be

impressed!

Many myths

surround schools

and misinformation

abounds, so we

always encourage

people to come and

see for themselves,

all that Hillmorton has to offer.

Large numbers of people were taken on tours

by students with many commenting on the

friendly atmosphere and really positive aspects

such as school size and opportunities, the small

class sizes and support available for those with

learning needs.

As always, we also encourage people to avail

themselves of the invitation to come and visit at

any time!

If you wish to visit any school day, please make

a time with the Principal’s Executive Assistant or

call the School Office.

Year 9 students recently took time

out of their in-class programmes

to spend a day learning at Halswell

Quarry.

To coincide with Matariki and

Arbor Day, students were involved

in assisting with the planting

programme that is taking place,

planting a range of natives in the

conservation area.

The opportunity was also taken

for a range of learning to take

place in this context – learning

about the history of the quarry

and its significance to the area,

undertaking the crater rim walk and

completing some Health and PE

activities and learning about some

of the flora of the area.

The students also undertook

some photography and creative

Timely win at Home and Leisure Show

WEST MELTON resident

Kate Shaw will no longer

need to worry about keeping

the chill out of her home this

winter.

Last weekend, Mrs Shaw

walked out of the The Star Home

and Leisure Show with the

winning ticket for a new central

heating system for her home.

“I’m very excited . . . this is

the first sort of prize I have ever

won,” Mrs Shaw said.

The system, designed to radiate

heat throughout the house,

was sponsored by Central Heating

New Zealand.

Central Heating New Zealand

managing director Lyall Smith

said the unit is a warm water

central heating system.

“They work very well. Silent,

warm, radiant, lovely to have,”

he said.

Mr Smith said the radiated

panels situated throughout

the house will heat the water

pumped through the radiators

to warm the house.

More than 100 exhibitors

packed into Horncastle Arena

for the three-day show last week

with some of the exhibitions

ranging from motor homes to

trampolines.

Star Media event manager

Vanessa Fleming said it was a

fantastic show with “thousands”

through the door.

Hacking and

getting

away with it


HANDING over Government data

to hackers is not normal policy

– but that is exactly what the city

council plans to do when it hosts a

“hackathon” this month.

GovHack NZ brings together “civic

hacker” coders, developers and

entrepreneurs to work together over

a weekend, but rather than breaking

into systems they use Government

and council data to innovate and

improve them.

It started in Australia, and events

have been held in the North Island,

but this year will be the first held

in Christchurch. Winning apps last

year included iHelp, which works to

help people connect and get information

and help they need after a

disaster. The team from Wellington

won a $4000 prize for their app.

City council IT service manager

Dana Burnett said people could

enter the challenge even if they did

not have technical skills.

•The hackathon will be held on

July 29-31 at the city council,

Hereford St. Entry is free but

registration is essential. Information

The Star

ur People

Laying down the challenge to create

Christchurch-raised

film-maker Tearepa

Kahi directed the 2013

hit Mt Zion starring

singer Stan Walker. His

documentary

Poi E: The Story of Our

Song debuts at the

NZ International Film

Festival this month

Poi E was the first Maori

language song to make it to No

1 in the charts. Why did pakeha

New Zealand adopt this song as

their own?

Whether you spoke Maori or

not, you could love this song

because the tune’s so catchy

and the beat’s so infectious.

Dalvanius called it “hobnail

boots music”. It has that party

strum that speaks to working

rural New Zealand and those

space invader sounds which

spoke to urban kids. He

orchestrated it to reflect the

DNA of the people and the time.

You can try to dissect it but it’s

really alchemy.

Does your documentary show

a “warts-and-all” version of

MOTIVATED:

Tearepa Kahi’s

first film Mt Zion

was slightly

autobiographical.

Dalvanius Prime?

More a “full colour, high

definition” version. Dalvanius

was a juggernaut – compromise

didn’t exist in his vocabulary. But

he was also a chess grand master

– he always had another play. He

knew white radio wasn’t going

to play Poi E, so what does he

do? He takes his hat off, goes up

the main street of Patea and asks

Quality hardwood flooring

made from local eucalypts

everybody for a $100 donation to

record the video.

When he couldn’t get it

screened he went to Derek Fox

at Te Karere News, who made

the music video their whole

three-minute bulletin. He saw

everything with so much clarity.

To have a vision that no one else

can see and take others along

with you – that’s what great

people do.

Why did he have so many

chihuahuas?

He had about 10 at one time

and this was before lap dogs were

fashionable. This dude was not

copying anyone – he came fully

formed. As a seven-year-old, he

was rounding up all the loose

pets in Patea and staging circus

performances as their grand MC.

He’d have chickens squawking,

a three-legged dog running

through a wall of fire. He had big

imagination and talent but also

huge commitment and discipline

– a winning combination.

You went to Patea to meet the

people who knew him. Did you

have any surprises?

What hit me is how present

he still is there today – in spite

of his death in 2002 he’s still

shoulder to shoulder with that

community.

Family and friends gave you

access to previously unseen

footage. What was your

favourite find?

The crown jewel of the film

is the original tape cassette

recording of Dalvanius and Ngoi

Pewhairangi singing Poi E for the

first time in a jam session at her

kitchen table at Tokomaru Bay in

1982. His cousin had the cassette

hiding in a sock drawer for 32

years. Hearing those voices

from the past is eerie. Ngoi had

written the lyrics but the paint

is still wet on the song and you

can hear them consolidating it

together. He picks up his ukulele

and goes, “How does that shift

happen again?” and they let it rip

one more time. It’s so special.

Canterbury’s weather updates

with Mercy Cornish



another Maori music No 1

Why did Dalvanius ask Ngoi

Pewhairangi to write Poi E for

him?

She’d written Prince Tui

Teka’s hit E Ipo which Dalvanius

produced. Realising Maori

language could get airplay was a

light bulb moment for him. The

record company had allowed it

because it had that big stanza in

English; “My darling Missy, you

are always on my mind . . .” So he

visited Ngoi in Tokomaru Bay to

ask for a song to perform at the

Patea kapa haka festival. Both

towns – East Coast and West

Coast – had lost their freezing

works. When he saw how tall his

whanau became when they performed

that song and the crowd’s

response, he realised he could

do something more with it. The

fact a waiata could be the genesis

for social change is so powerful.

I think because the path was so

organic and real it allowed for

wider change to take place.

How far have we come since

Poi E?

One of the bittersweet aspects

of this story is that we haven’t

had another Maori language

song reach No 1. The challenge

has been laid down for this generation.

We need to remember

that MPs make legislation but it’s

artists who create change.

The film premiered during

Matariki – the Maori New Year.

Was that planned?

I wanted it to come out on

Waitangi Day but it would’ve

been a very different story

because Chris Bourke sent

me a two-hour interview he’d

done with Dalvanius that really

changed the game. I also used

two interviews Dalvanius did

with Henare Te Ua as a young

FUN

man in 1983 and in 1987 after

he’s masterminded a world tour.

It’s fitting the film comes out

during Matariki – a time for

remembering people who’ve

passed and celebrating their contribution.

Because it has taken

several years to make, sadly

some people instrumental to the

production have passed away including

Dalvanius’ eldest brother

and my own mentor Eruera Nia.

When did you learn Te Reo?

I grew up in Christchurch

where there were limited opportunities

to speak Te Reo. Dad

was a musician in Billy TK’s

band. We spent a lot of time on

the road and twice a year we’d

drive up to Pukekohe to see

whanau. Nana always told the

best jokes in Maori. She’d really

come alive when she was cracking

jokes with her cousins. She

was a big influence.

Your first feature film Mt

Zion was set in your Nana’s

house in Pukekohe. How much

of you is in that story?

There’s a lot of my father and

cousins but what motivates the

main character, Turei, is definitely

my story. That question of,

“How far would I go to pursue

my dream?” I got Jim Moriarty’s

phone number and rang him so

many times to beg him to let me

into his theatre company. I was

18 when I got in and spent two

years on the road performing at

high schools, marae and prisons

around the country including

three months inside Paparoa

and Arohata Women’s Prisons

helping “lifers” devise plays and

songs to perform at the Christchurch

Arts Festival. Celia Lashlie

was the prison warden who

made it happen.

It’s time

Why did you decide to try

directing?

As a male Maori actor, I found

myself typecast in this role of

leather-wearing guy with a beer

in one hand. Then Don Selwyn

came along with The Maori Merchant

of Venice. To be in a Maori

language film was culturally

electric. A lot of relationships

were forged – my wife Reikura

and I played the leads. So our

next project was a Maori Romeo

and Juliet.

What was your greatest

challenge in making the Poi E

documentary?

Allowing Dalvanius’ voice to

tell the story instead of my own;

allowing the past and present

to sing together on the same

page and getting all the various

formats to mesh while allowing

them to exist within their own

time signature. It’s a big responsibility

to be honest. Fortunately

his sister Barletta’s first words after

watching the film were “Yup,

that’s our story”. I felt grateful

and humbled.

Landlords could face tax

Abortion rates

• By Shelley Robinson

LANDLORDS OF derelict sites,

which fall into disrepair after

becoming makeshift shelters for

the homeless, could be targeted

with a new tax.

At last week’s Development

Forum, it recommended that city

council staff should investigate

a derelict site tax, after city

councillor Jamie Gough said it was

time it had tools at its disposal to

force landlords to clean up their

acts.

It comes after the city council

was left “relatively powerless” to

deal with the Hotel All Seasons

in Merivale last year, said Cr

Gough.

Squatters had moved into

the building, which is owned

by Pandey Hotel Corporation,

causing it to become both a

health hazard and a danger to the

homeless frequenting it, he said.

“There was so little we could do

– we could write them (the landlords)

a letter. We don’t have much

in the tool kit,” he said.

Since controversy surrounding

the site, Cr Gough said Pandey

hired a gardener and a caretaker.

Other examples were Antonio

Hall on Riccarton Rd and the

former saleyards, he said.

Cr Gough said a derelict site

IN DISREPAIR: Antonio Hall on Riccarton Rd, is one example that

could incur a derelict site tax, or a helping hand from the city

council if a initiative by Cr Jamie Gough gets the go ahead.

policy could also have “incentives,”

which could include rates remissions

for bringing buildings up to

an acceptable standard.

“It is fair we bring out the

stick to landlords who have their

property in a derelict state. But

we also need to try and remove

the barriers for people not taking

action,” he said.

The idea, still in its infancy,

could see the proceeds of the tax

given to those who predominately

inhabit abandoned buildings in

the city – the homeless.

Another option is for the money

to be used to beautify empty sites,

said Cr Gough.

up in over 30s

• By Siobhan Watson

MORE WOMEN over 30

may be having abortions in

Canterbury because they do

not qualify for subsidised

contraceptives.

Statistics New Zealand published

a table showing abortions

for women aged 30 to 40

years and over has increased

7.3 per cent from 2014 to 2015.

Christchurch Family

Planning national medical

adviser Dr Christine Roke

said one of the reasons why

this may be happening is

because women over 30 do

not have opportunities for the

subsidies that women under

30 receive.

She said that long-acting

contraceptives are more

expensive than the pill or

condoms, which means that

women over 30 may not be

able to afford them.

‘’If you go to a GP and your

not subsidised then it can cost

about $100 to get long-acting

contraceptive.’’

These long-acting contraceptives

are more effective at

preventing pregnancy than

other forms of contraceptives,

and she said this may partly

be the reason why the number

of abortions for women over

30 has increased.

Another reason for women

over 30 having more abortions

than women under 30

is because of abnormalities in

the fetus.

‘’A small proportion of

abortions are due to abnormalities

and deformities

in babies and these issues

are more common in older

people.

“This may partly reflect the

statistics,” Dr Roke said.

She also said there had been

an increase in Christchurch’s

population which may also

inflate statistics.

She said although there had

been an increase in abortions

for those aged over 30, there

had also been a decrease in

abortions overall.

The overall abortion rate

has fallen by 38 per cent since

2008.

‘’I think it’s great the abortion

ratio is going down,

considering the fact the

Christchurch population has

gotten bigger.’’

KiwiSaver statements well read

MOST KIWISAVER members

are reading their annual

statements but less than a

quarter have checked to see if

they are on track for the kind

of retirement they want.

Research by investment

watchdog the Financial

Markets Authority found 79

per cent of members had read

their annual statement.

Paul Gregory, head of investor

capability at the FMA said

it had been surprised by the

number of people that did read

their statements.

“This shows there is engagement

which is encouraging

and was surprising.”

However, the research did

find a gender and age split on

who read annual statements

thoroughly.

Males over 60 were more

likely to read their annual

statements thoroughly while

females aged 18 to 29 were

least likely to.

Females aged 18 to 29 were

also the ones most likely to say

they did not recall receiving a

statement at all.

For those who didn’t read

the statement the biggest

barriers were that it was too

complicated or they weren’t

interested in it.

But just 23 per cent had

checked to see if their

KiwiSaver account was on

track.

Gregory said the statement

should be a launchpad for

people to think about whether

at they were on track to have

the retirement they want.

“When this arrives through

your letterbox, or in your

email, it’s a great opportunity

to check in with your goals.

And, if you’re not happy, to

check in with your KiwiSaver

provider.”

Of those who checked

whether they were on track the

most common way to do so

was through an online calculator

either on their provider’s

website or through the sorted

website.

The research also asked

people what extra information

in the statement would

help people them make

better decisions about their

retirement.

More than 70 per cent said

they wanted to see a lump

sum figure for how much they

would have at 65 and a further

62 per cent would like to see

what weekly figure that lump

sum would give them.

Another 37 per cent said

they would like to see fees broken

out in a dollar figure.

Currently providers do not

have to give that information.

Gregory said the results

of the survey would be used

as part of a review of annual

statements being worked on by

itself, the Ministry of Business,

Innovation and Employment

and the Commission for

Financial Capability.

KiwiSaver providers have

to send out an annual statement

every year within three

months of the end of the tax

year on March 31.

The research surveyed 2000

people between May and June

of which 1313 people were

KiwiSaver members.

Of those who were not

KiwiSaver members most were

over 60 and had an annual

income below $50k.

Countdown to Rio

Dickson chases golden dream

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics begin in five weeks

time. Sports reporter Gordon Findlater counts down

to Rio, highlighting some of Canterbury’s brightest

talents. This week, we look at sevens player Sam

Dickson and his miraculous return from injury.

LESS THAN three month’s ago

Sam Dickson lay in the middle

of the field in agony at the Hong

Kong sevens tournament.

His teammates were celebrating

a last minute game winning

try against Kenya. But Dickson

was contemplating how bad the

knee injury he had just sustained

could be.

“First of all, I thought it was

just my MCL which is usually

about eight weeks out. Then I

went and had an MRI and found

out the next day the anterior

cruciate ligament) was ruptured

which wasn’t great news. To be

honest, I thought Rio was completely

out of the picture.”

A ruptured ACL would in

almost any circumstance mean

surgery and at least six months

out of the game.

The lure of the Olympic Games

was enough for the 26-year-old

to take a risk and go the non-traditional

method of attempting to

recover from the injury without

surgery. A decision that would

keep his Rio dream alive.

The odds were not in Dickson’s

favour. However, his knee recovered

to the point where he could

take part in the sevens trial camp

three weeks ago.

“I hadn’t done much field stuff

by then. To be honest, I didn’t

have a lot of confidence going

into that, but I managed to get

through it and I was pretty

happy with the way i went.”

With his knee holding up to

the test, Dickson accomplished

the goal that just a few month

ago he would have seen as a long

shot. Being named in the sevens

squad for the Rio Olympics.

Sevens didn’t enter Dickson’s

mind until 2012, spending 17

years coming through the grades

as an emerging flanker.

Dickson’s rugby career began

as a five-year-old playing midget

rugby for West Melton. He would

play through the grades for the

club, even playing afternoon

games in the country competition

after playing for his secondary

school team, St Thomas, in

the morning.

After going on to play first

XV rugby in his final year at

St Thomas, Dickson spent two

years playing for Marist Albion

colts before rejoining his boyhood

club, West Melton. He

would go on to captain the side

as well as lead the Ellesmere and

Canterbury Country representative

teams.

He made the Canterbury NPC

wider-training squad in 2012.

But the catalogue of talented

loose forwards in the Canterbury

ranks meant opportunities were

limited with the likes of Nasi

Manu, George Whitelock, Luke

Whitelock, Matt Todd, Kieran

Read, Richie McCaw and Jordan

Taufua among the ranks.

Sir Gordon Tietjens was looking

for a new crop of players to

bring into his sevens squad in

2012.

Former Canterbury NPC

coach Tabai Matson recognised

something in Dickson that he

believed could translate to the

seven-man game and had the

flanker attend a sevens training

camp.

After impressing at the camp,

Dickson was selected to play in

the 2012 Safari sevens tournament

in Kenya. It was the first

sevens tournament he had played

in, having never previously

played at secondary school or

provincial level.

“It was a bit of a shock to the

system really. The altitude in

Kenya was pretty high, plus we

injury and is now gearing up for the Rio Olympics, where he

hopes to win gold with the New Zealand Sevens squad.

played six games in one day.”

Tietjens was impressed with

the debut and selected Dickson

in the sevens squad for the upcoming

Gold Coast tournament.

Tweaking a hamstring a day out

from the tournament, though,

meant he was forced to wait for

his New Zealand debut.

Just a month later, he had his

opportunity in Dubai. Dickson

was contracted for the remainder

of the season and claimed his

first IRB sevens title in December

2012 in South Africa. He

would go on to win that year’s

IRB Sevens World Series with

New Zealand.

Dickson’s career could have

taken a very different path at one

stage.

In 2010, he was asked by a

friend to play a game of AFL

(Australian Rules) in Christchurch

“I played a few games, learned

the rules and just got better and

better. All of a sudden i was playing

for New Zealand and went to

the International Cup in 2011.”

Following his performances

for New Zealand in Australia,

Dickson was scouted by Australian

club side St Kilda. But at 22,

he was seen as being slightly too

old to mould into a professional.

With his path now well and

truly heading towards Rio, Dickson

is confident having another

four weeks to get back to full

fitness.

If New Zealand is able to win

gold at the sevens, the victory

will surely taste even sweeter for

Dickson who, at the moment, is

feeling healthy, lucky and ready

to play.

Rio’s six-day sevens tournament

begins on August 6.

The Star

Taste

The love of food involves science

Ever wondered who is

cooking your food when

you go out to a cafe or

restaurant? The Star

continues its series talking

with chefs.

Mamacita’s owner and

head chef – Jess Lynch


JESS LYNCH had a molecular

biology degree and was on her

way to becoming a doctor when

she threw it all in to pursue her

love of food.

She had finished her pre-med

training, had been accepted into

medical school and was a couple

of weeks away from starting when

she reached crisis-point.

“I thought what am I doing? I

don’t want to spend millions of

years studying to get to a medical

field where there are all sorts

of issues – because in the United

States it’s very complicated but

you end up essentially working

for insurance companies. So I

decided to take a break and went

back to what I always loved,

which was cooking.”

She now runs a popular food

truck, Mamacita’s, which is often

set up in Cathedral Square, and is

negotiating contracts for her own

Mexican restaurant, which she

plans to open later this year.

She grew up in the kitchen in

Southern California, learning

techniques from her Mexican

grandmother, her Italian father

and her mother who was amazing

at everything, she said: “Everything

she cooks turns out perfect”.

Working as a chef had paid the

bills while she studied, but cheffing

also gave an interesting angle

to the things she was learning.

“The molecular biology of science

and food go together really

well. My love of food came first

and science came afterward, so

it was really interesting to apply

those ideas to my cooking.”

She originally worked as a

pastry chef, creating wedding

cakes and “hoity-toity” desserts,

but found herself branching into

other things.

But she said her partner was

facing a round of lay-offs at his

job. He had been to New Zealand

before and loved it, so he asked

her what she thought about moving.

“The States was looking pretty

dire for working professionals,

the outlook felt really bleak. So I

thought I love adventure, I’ll go.”

She applied for residency in

New Zealand before she had even

set foot in the country, and the

minute she did, she said it was

“love at first sight”.

They both found work in

Christchurch and she spent

several years working for different

cafes and restaurants, before she

stumbled by chance on a listing

for a food truck on Trade Me.

The idea of creating a taco truck

was planted, and grew from there,

she said.

She said the food truck worked

well in the post-earthquake environment.

“There’s been a different vibe

after the earthquakes, a much

more creative way of looking at

things. There’s a lot more really

gourmet food, and it has brought

a younger vibe and life to the city

which I find really exciting.”

She said California-style Mexican

food was “punchy and fresh”

and less rich than classic Mexican

food. To create it she had to specially

import a lot of ingredients,

and made most of the sauces by

hand herself.

Her secret ingredient was her

range of vinegars, she said – she

usually kept more than a dozen

different kinds.

“It comes back to the science of

it, really. Many of the things vinegar

does changes the food, but

doesn’t have to taste like vinegar.

Often people won’t know I’ve

used vinegar, they’ll just know it

tastes different somehow.”

But some of her projects had

outgrown the food truck and she

hoped she could expand them in

the restaurant.

1 tsp Salt

1 to taste Freshly ground black

pepper

½ cup Avocado oil

Directions

Peel kumara and cut into chunks.

Toss with the garlic and oil to coat

and beans.

GINGER CORNED BEEF

Ingredients

1½ kg Corned beef

2 ltr Ginger ale

2 tbsp Fresh ginger

2 Chillies

Cover pan and simmer beef very

gently for 1 and 1/2 hours.

Remove beef to a carving board

Corned beef is whole pieces of beef

that have been cured or “corned” in

seasoned brine (a flavoured salt solution).

Corned beef can be purchased

Gardening Advice with

Congratulations! Today’s winning question came from Cheryl Anglesey

QUESTION: I have just moved into a new place and would like to grow a tree/hedge along my

back and side fence. The back fence has two fairly large trees right up close (in the neighbour’s) and

the side fence has a tree too but not quite so near. I want something that will grow quickly, be hardy

and reasonably easy to maintain.

Be in to win a

PRIZE

PACK!

$95

ANSWER: Now is an ideal time

to plant your hedge or trees. For

Christchurch conditions, there are

a few varieties that would suit.

• Laurus nobilis – ‘Bay Tree’.

This is a hardy and compact

evergreen that also provides

bay leaves for cooking. It can

be easily trimmed to a two,

three or four metre hedge, or

grown as a tree on its own.

• Photinia - ‘Red Robin’. A very

attractive evergreen plant, with deep crimson new leaves in spring. Easy to grow, it

prefers full sun but will still grow in dabbled light. Trim regularly to encourage a dense habit.

• Prunus lusitanica – ‘Portuguese Laurel’. A large evergreen shrub or small tree, it can easily be

pruned to form a dense hedge. It produces attractive white scented flowers in spring and is

hardy in most conditions.

Always prepare the site for your new plants thoroughly by adding Daltons Compost to the existing

soil before and at the time of planting. Other products to try are Daltons Premium Planter Tabs

and Daltons Premium Tree & Shrub Fertiliser.

Check out our How To Grow guides on our website www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides

for more helpful tips and advice.

Don’t let frost get to your pruned roses

THERE IS more written about

pruning roses than almost any

other aspect of their care.

Yet, why do we prune our

roses?

Here are a few key reasons:

Encourage new growth and

more blooms. Maintain the

health of the rose by removing

old wood, improve air circulation

within the bush.

Maintain a specific shape,

especially for climbing and

pillar roses, and those that are

pegged down.

Not all roses have the same

need to be pruned, some just

need an annual “going over’’

after flowering to remove the

dead wood. Other roses, most

Portuguese Laurel

notably the highly bred hybrid

teas and floribundas, need regular

pruning. If you garden on

a light, sandy soil then prune

your roses only lightly as they

will not be able to support the

vigorous new growth that hard

pruning encourages.

The time to tackle pruning

is in the winter while they are

dormant, before they burst into

growth. In some areas of New

Zealand, and in some seasons,

there may seem to be almost

no period of dormancy and so

you must choose your moment

carefully. So do not prune when

there is still a risk of severe

frost, as any new growth will be

frosted and die back.

We have Daltons Premium

Rose packs to give away

that include everything

you need to grow

roses with good bloom

strength, colour and

vigour.

Roses are a wonderful

addition to any garden,

low maintenance and

easy to grow. There are

an extensive number of

roses to choose from to

add fragrance and bursts

of colour to your garden.

Send us your

gardening question

to be in to win!

You will have to cut back

to the next bud, reducing the

plant further.

Most bush roses flower on

the current year’s growth.

A hard prune will produce

more vigorous new growth.

Remove the oldest cane on the

plant; this keeps the bush fresh

and vigorous.

Then reduce thick, strong

stems by about half their height.

Thin canes need to be cut back

to one-third their height.

Try to keep the centre of the

plant open. A mess of spindly,

twiggy growth in the middle

of the plant restricts light and

air circulation, encouraging

disease.

Each pack is valued at $95 and contains:

• 2 x Daltons Compost

• Daltons Premium Rose & Flower Fertiliser

• Daltons Premium Tree & Shrub Fertiliser

• Daltons Premium Flower Bed Mix

Reviewed by Patricia Murchison

YES IT’S loud, but it’s a wonderful,

homegrown rock opera about

Christchurch heroine Kate Sheppard.

Esther Stevens was terrific as Kate.

Her entrance was magical after a

very funny introduction from Amy

Straker and Phoebe Hurst as her

audience gasped at the contrast.

Geoffrey Dolan who played Prime

Minister Richard Seddon was a perfect

foil for Kate and her followers.

History shows that the sheer

number of women who signed Kate’s

petition swayed Parliament. There

were quieter moments where Kate’s

private life was spoken/sung about.

Andy Manning led the fantastic

musicians who were such an integral

part of the show.

At the finish, everyone rose and

clapped and cheered for a good 10

minutes.

I’d recommend this loud and happy

affirmation of a life to everyone

except those with sensitive hearing.

Lincoln resident and

promoter David Parlane

organised the show – the

first of several events he

hopes to bring to the town.

Mr Parlane said he had

known Corbett when they

were both working in radio

in Palmerston North in the

1980s.

“He was my first port

of call to be honest, so I

contacted him and said

‘hey, how about we do

something like this comedy

night?’” he said.

“All of a sudden, within

probably a week and a half,

we had got four of the best

comedians in New Zealand

coming to Lincoln.”

LIVE COMEDY:

Some of New

Zealand’s

leading

comedians,

including

Jeremy Corbett

(left), Ben

Hurley (top) and

Tom Furniss

will perform in

Lincoln during

October.

Top comedians for show

Mr Parlane said there

was a need for more

activities and events in

Lincoln.

“So this is basically the

first of more to come. We

have got a great facility

down at the event centre

which can hold 1000 people.”

Doors will open at 6pm,

with the show starting at

7pm.

IT DOESN’T seem all that long

ago that my brother and I used

to park ourselves in front of the

TV early on a Saturday morning

to enjoy Fraggle Rock, Fat

Albert and our favourite locally

produced TV show, What Now.

I loved the presenters, the skits

and only ever dreamed of how

cool it would be to be part of such

a show.

So it was a no-brainer when

the opportunity arose to take my

own girls to be part of the audience

fun.

We rallied some school friends

to join us and my eldest was

lucky enough to be asked to

participate in a game (alongside

Hats off to the What Now crew

two other children) called ‘Use

Ya Head’.

The three of them had to

stand high atop a 3m perch and

catapult balloons of ‘gunge’ (cold,

slimy goo) into the air in order

to ‘land’ as many as possible in

the small buckets strapped to the

heads of their waiting mothers

below.

Not an easy task for a 6-year

Melissa McDonnell

old, but a challenge that was

accepted with gusto. And why

not? What kid wouldn’t seize the

opportunity to freely throw such

muck at their mother for a whole

45 seconds and get away with it.

She absolutely loved it (me, not so

much).

The rest of the morning was

awesome. The show was packed

with adventures, skits, games and

loads of activity.

Huge hats off to the What

Now crew who were not only

extremely professional in their

approach, but such a friendly

and fun bunch of people who

magically navigated through a

potentially chaotic mess of 30

screaming kids to create a

well-oiled and seamless adventure.

Before we knew it, the two

hours were up, and a bunch of

happy children streamed out of

the studio, full of smiles, stories

and energy.

When we got home, we

plonked down in front of the

TV to watch the recorded, final

result.

The girls thought it was

hilarious to catch glimpses of

themselves on the big screen, see

the entire show in its uninterrupted

glory and get a grasp

on how such a programme is

produced.

This was such a fantastic experience

for both me and my girls,

and I especially love that we now

share a memory of an experience

that will forever link us back to

our childhoods.

A big thanks to the What Now

crew for continually bringing

such life and fun into the lives of

us Christchurch kids – you guys

rock.

Star-studded tour of Tinsel Town

• By Mike Yardley

HOLLYWOOD DRIPS with

international glamour.

But how can you break through

the Tinsel Town mystique and

bask in the stardust?

On my most recent visit, I set

myself the mission of staking

out some old-school glamour,

celeb-heavy haunts and trending

hotspots.

All roads lead to the Hollywood

Strip, or “the boulevard of broken

dreams”, as my Red Line walking

tour guide, Michael, preferred to

call it.

Red Line’s Behind the Scenes

tour has become part of Hollywood

folklore, expertly narrated

and spiriting you into many

storied nooks and crannies, that

most tourists miss. www.redlinetours.com/la

After admiring some of the

legendary names lining Hollywood

Boulevard’s Walk of Fame,

Michael ushered us in what I

think is the most unsung vestige

of Hollywood glam: the Egyptian

Theatre.

Extensively restored and earthquake

re-strengthened in recent

years, this picture palace was the

birthplace of the movie premiere

and the movie star.

Built by Sid Grauman in 1922,

he used search lights for a premiere

and it was where red carpet

was first rolled out all the way to

the street.

Egyptian music and incense

wafted through the courtyard,

adding to the Egyptian motif,

which was all the rage, given the

epic excavations and discovery of

King Tut’s tomb.

Inside the theatre, I admired

the two Egyptian dog statues, gifted

by 20th Century Fox, which

featured in Cleopatra, starring

Elizabeth Taylor. The Red Line

Tour is a great way to get inside

this heritage-studded shrine.

Five years later, Sid Grauman

launched another lavish movie

palace, the Chinese Theatre,

which continues to host more

world premieres than any other

theatre on the planet.

I’ve often wondered how the celebrity

hand, and footprints, immortalised

in the forecourt, first

came about. Red Line’s Michael

had the good oil.

Sid Grauman created the first

footprints by mistake – stepping

into wet concrete as his theatre

was being constructed.

The foreman remarked: “Those

footprints are going to be there

forever,” and the rest is history.

Pop into the Hollywood Museum,

housed in the 1930s Max

Factor building, where so many

screen legends were transformed

in the famous make-up rooms.

Lucille Ball, Rita Hayworth, Judy

Garland and Elizabeth Taylor

were all primped and styled here

– as was Marilyn Monroe. It was

here that the brunette became the

blonde bombshell.

Pop into the landmark Hollywood

Roosevelt Hotel, which

is where Shirley Temple learnt

to tap dance and where Marilyn

Monroe’s first magazine shoot

took place, shot by the Tropicana

pool.

That location is now a top celeb

hideaway that you can gain access

too. A true Hollywood oasis, the

poolside Tropicana Café & Bar is

a seductive all-day retreat.

Enjoy a late breakfast or cheeky

cocktail here. A star-studded

haunt for close celebrity encounters

– and the permanent presence

of paparazzi, is The Ivy in

Robertson Boulevard.

It’s a great spot for breakfast or

lunch: order up the cheap and

cheerful homemade buttermilk

pancakes and fresh ginger tea.

If you notice swarms of tourists

photographing the fast food joint,

El Pollo Loco, on the corner of

Serrano Ave and Sunset Boulevard,

the reason is this is where

a struggling young actor named

Brad Pitt, would beckon customers

into the store, dressed up as a

chicken on the roadside. Nearby,

on the Sunset Strip, pop into the

auction house, Bonhams.

They stage regular auctions and

the loot inside this place rivals

a museum. It is the number one

clearing house for second-hand

celebrity goods.

I had a major star moment, in

the elevator of my hotel, The Redbury.

Cyndi Lauper swept into

the lift with her entourage, chatty,

charming and looking half of

her 62 years of age. The Redbury,

a boutique all-suites hotel, sits

across the road from the iconic

Capitol Records building.

Glamorous, colourful and spacious,

the 57 guest suites come

complete with record players and

vinyl collections. I played Duke

Ellington on repeat.

The quirky and eye-catching art

pieces, sprinkled throughout the

property are pure escapism.

I loved the hip Middle Easterninspired

Cleo restaurant and

the indoor-outdoor library for

handcrafted cocktails. Plus there’s

a complimentary BMW house car

available for pick-up or drop-off

within three miles.

Accommodation rates are not

eye-watering – and you never

know who you’ll bump into.

New Christchurch schools

to offer students more

Avonside Girls’ and shirley Boys’ will

be the first single sex secondary schools in

new Zealand’s history to share a campus

– an arrangement their principals say will

enable the schools to offer their students

new opportunities.

The schools are to be built on part of

Qeii Park, next to the Christchurch City

Council’s eastern recreation and sport

Centre.

Avonside Girls’ High school Principal

sue Hume says the campus will be brand

new and state of the art.

“each school will have its own teaching

spaces and students will spend most of

their day in a single sex environment.

That’s important to us. research shows

that single sex education benefits both girls

and boys…boys do better academically

and girls participate more. That’s because

they have space to learn and focus away

from the opposite gender,” says sue Hume.

John laurenson says the new campus is

a step forward.

“Because we are going to work together,

we’ll be able to offer more. For example,

we’ll be sharing some facilities, including

a performing arts auditorium, theatre

and cultural space, which enables us to

build bigger and better assets,” says John

laurenson.

Another benefit is that the students

will be able to interact with and learn

alongside peers from their partner school.

“students from both schools will share

buses to and from the campus, they’ll all

be able to use the café, our new library

and learning centre and our other shared

facilities. This means that not only will

they have all the benefits of a single sex

education, they’ll have social opportunities

not available at other single sex schools,”

says sue Hume.

The Ministry of education is currently

working on how the new schools will

be zoned but the schools are focusing

on catering to residents who live east of

Colombo street.

“Because we will be servicing a wide

area, we will be establishing a network of

buses to service the campus,” says John

laurenson.

Best of all, sue Hume says the new

campus will open in 2019 so is not too far

away.

“in fact many of our current students

will be making the journey to the new

campus with us and those who join our

schools in the next two years will spend

their senior years there. it’s been a long

and sometimes hard road to get to the

new campus, but we are confident we’re on

track to create something even better than

what we had before the earthquakes.”

HOW TO PLAY

It’s like sudoku: each

vertical and horizontal

line has to contain

the numbers 1-6, and

the numbers can’t be

repeated in any row or

column.

But it’s sudoku with a

twist: The numbers in

each heavily outlined

set of squares, called

cages, must produce the

number in the top corner.

For example, 5+ means

the numbers add up to 5,

9x means the numbers

multiply to equal 9.

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

same line or row.

Tedesco credits mystery mentor for recovery

James Tedesco says a

secret mentor has helped

him recover from injury to

take a place in the New

South Wales State of Origin

squad for game three next

week.

TEDESCO ENDURED an

equally arduous task recovering

from the mental demons

of debilitating knee injuries as

he did overcoming the physical

aspect of it.

But the 23-year-old told The

Sydney Morning Herald that a

mystery mentor – who he was

referred to by Tigers and NSW

teammate Aaron Woods – has

played a significant part in his

recovery which has led him to

the NSW jersey after 18 months

of hot pursuit.

“He’s someone I started seeing

after all my injuries. He’s really

helped me in my career. He sees

Woodsy (Aaron Woods) every

week as well.

“I think that’s most of the

battle, getting your head space

right.

“I’m feeling confident in my

body and having him to speak

to every week has helped me

mentally,” Tedesco said.

He has endured his fair share

of heartache through what has

been a roller coaster start to his

career.

Few have forgotten the torture

the then teenager suffered being

stretchered off Leichhardt Oval

in the opening minutes of his

debut after rupturing his anterior

cruciate ligament. Then there

was the disappointment of a

shoulder injury on the eve of this

year’s Origin series.

But Tedesco has taken solace

in the mystery mentor who,

despite not possessing a sports

psychologist degree, has managed

to have a positive influence

on the mindset of the players he

comforts.

Tedesco proved too “irresistible”

for Laurie Daley to ignore

after passing up the opportunity

to bring him in for game two at

Suncorp Stadium.

“We had to get [Tedesco] into

the side somewhere and I didn’t

think it would be right putting

him on the wing. He’s a fullback

and deserves a chance.”

Tedesco looked certain to get

in game one, only for another

injury setback to deny him of his

maiden NSW jersey.

The region’s top young basketballers

will take to the court tomorrow in

celebration of their accomplishments

this season. Cowles Stadium will

host the 2016 McDonald’s All Star

game. The east and west squads are

made up of the top performers in the

boys’ Thompson Trophy and girls’

Whelan Trophy secondary school

competitions. Burnside High’s Toby

Gillooly and Isaiah Morris will be

two starters to watch on the boys’

east team. Quinn Clinton and Jack

Ansell, of Christchurch Boys’ High,

will star for the boys’ west team, along

with Cashmere High student Connor

McLaughlin. The girls’ all star game

begins at 4.30pm followed by the boys.

RUGBY LEAGUE CAMP

Four players have been selected from

the southern region to attend the

under-16 New Zealand Rugby League

performance camp in Rotorua. Martin

and Fidow-Kele are both students at

St Thomas’ of Canterbury College

and will both represent the school at

this year’s NZRL National Secondary

Schools Tournament. Martin, 15, plays

club league for the Hornby Panthers

and has represented Canterbury and

the South Island at age group level.

Fidow-Kele, 16, plays for the Linwood

Keas and also plays for the St Thomas

first XV rugby union side. The camp

will run from July 9-1.

Grand final rematch

• By Gordon Findlater

THIS WEEKEND’S round of

the UC Championship will be

headlined by a rematch of last

year’s grand final.

St Bede’s College took the

honours last August, defeating

Shirley Boys 32-13 in the grand

final.

With just four rounds

remaining in the competition

neither side is assured of a spot

in this year’s play-offs.

Shirley looked poised to be

a sure thing for the top four a

fortnight ago, but two successive

losses to Nelson College

and St Thomas in the space

of four days has put a dent in

their armour.

“It’s very difficult when

you’re playing three games

in the space of eight days.

We came back from Nelson

with three frontline forwards

out with injury and illness,”

Shirley Boys’ rugby administrator

John Fox said.

However, Fox is confident

that a shift in mentality from

the team’s last two encounters

can get them back in the win

column.

“We scored in the first five

REMATCH: Shirley Boys and St Bede’s will meet on

Saturday in a rematch of last year’s UC Championship final.

minutes against St Thomas and

then relaxed. It just shows how

close this competition is,” Fox

said.

Fatigue won’t be an issue for

St Bede’s who are coming off

their bye weekend, something

coach Gerry Davidson believes

could work in his team’s

favour.

“I think everybody enjoys

their bye weekend. We’ve been

going since the end of April

now and with a couple of

traditional mid-week fixtures

in June, it was nice to have a

break,” Davidson said.

St Bede’s is currently seventh

in the championship. Although

they only have six wins from

10 games, they find themselves

right in the play-off hunt,

three points from a play-off

spot.

“I think for the first time in

a very long time, anyone in the

top eight, or even 10 teams, has

a chance.

“Nobody can take any results

for granted this year,” Davidson

said.

St Bede’s has one member

from last year’s team that won

the UC Championship in this

year’s squad.

Shirley have plenty of boys

with memories of last year’s

final defeat, with 15 players

retained.

Saturday’s grand final rematch

will screen live on CTV

this Saturday.

Kick-off is at 2.45pm from

Shirley Boys’ High.

UC Championship round 12 fixtures:

Shirley BHS v St Bede’s; St Andrew’s College v Burnside HS;

Nelson College v St Thomas; Timaru BHS v Rangiora HS;

Marlborough BC v Ashburton College; Lincoln HS v Waimea

THE INJURY-HIT Melbourne

Rebels will be sweating on a

batch of fitness tests later this

week as coach Tony McGahan

faces the prospect of fielding a

severely under-strength team

against the Crusaders in Christchurch

on Saturday.

As if the prospect of heading

to New Zealand wasn’t daunting

enough, captain Nic Stirzaker

(ankle), fullback Mike Harris

(ankle) and locks Lopeti Timani

and Luke Jones (both concussion)

will face tests before their

availability is known.

But in somewhat better news

for the now out-of-contention

Rebels, wingers Jonah Placid

(nose) and Sefa Naivalu (leg)

have been declared fit to play

despite coming off early in last

weekend’s home loss to the

Stormers.

The Crusaders will receive

a much needed boost to their

backline with the return of All

Black Ryan Crotty.


The centre sustained a calf

injury in the final test against

Wales, but is ready to get back

into it after watching his team

mates suffer at the hands of the

Chiefs in Suva.

Captain Kieran Read is

expected to be rested for Saturday’s

game, while All Black prop

Joe Moody is out with a neck

injury.

The Crusaders side to take on

the Rebels will be named later

today.

Driven

Skoda Fabia wagon a

good value purchase

• By Ross Kiddie

THE JUNE 23 referendum

which resulted in Great

Britain’s withdrawal from

the European Union

has taken the world by

surprise.

There will be a long

period of global financial

uncertainty before stability

returns and that will also

affect many aspects of our

down under economies.

In the short term,

imported goods will most

certainly rise, including

motor vehicles, especially

those sourced from

Europe.

That being the case,

there’s probably no better

time to buy a European

car, and if your budget is

a little restricted but you

need a reliable practical

car, Skoda has the answer.

A new Fabia has just

landed and it lists from

$19,990. It arrives here in

three variants, and I was

lucky enough to land a

drive in the range-topping

station wagon which, incidentally,

lists at an amazing

$26,990, making it,

what I believe to be one of

the bargain purchases in

today’s new car market.

The Fabia wagon, or

Combi, as Skoda badge

it, is powered by a 1.2-

litre, four-cylinder engine.

Before you scoff at its

meagre displacement, bear

in mind that it produces

81kW and has a healthy

175Nm of torque thanks

to turbocharged boost. If

you take into account the

areas where peak power

and maximum torque

are developed (4600rpm-

5600rpm and 1400rpm-

4000rpm respectively),

there is an unimpeded

supply of power from

very low in the rev band,

providing a spirited drive

through a seven-speed

direct shift automatic gearbox.

If fuel usage is also an

important buying criteria,

the Fabia Combi is listed

with a 4.8-litre per 100km

(58mpg) combined cycle

average.

You don’t have to try

hard to replicate that, I

wasn’t gentle with the

throttle during my time

in the test car, yet it was

easy to have the fuel usage

readout listing around

6l/100km (47mpg), that

along with an instantaneous

readout of 4.6l/100km

(62mpg) on the highway

cruising a steady 100km/h

(engine speed 2050rpm).

I’ve often written about

SKODA FABIA COMBI: Volkswagen-based engineering.

the Czech Republic’s engineering

prowess, and if

you combined that with

Volkswagen’s manufacturing

ideology of quality and

efficiency you won’t be

disappointed with Fabia.

The entire package is one

of practicality and functionality.

• Price – Skoda Fabia

Combi TSi, $26,990

• Dimensions –

Length, 4257mm;

width, 1732mm;

height, 1467mm

• Configuration: Fourcylinder,

front-wheeldrive,

1197cc, 81kW,

175Nm, seven-speed

automatic.

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 9.6sec

• Fuel usage–

4.8l/100km

Take it’s 505-litre load

space for example, extending

to 1370-litres, the

wagon section is cavernous

for what is deemed to

be a small car. That doesn’t

come at the cost of rear

occupant space, the Fabia

can still be considered a

marginal five-seater, head

and leg room is satisfactory.

Up front it is the same,

the seating position is constantly

comfortable, and

the controls fall readily to

hand. It’s fair to say the

Fabia isn’t overly complicated,

there aren’t a lot of

functions to speak of, but

the essentials are there,

and there is enough kit to

still consider the purchase

a bargain.

I took the test car on

my usual high country

drive beneath the Malvern

Hills and found it to be

a spirited, well-handling

car which quickly endears

itself. Handling-wise it

is directional with quick

turn-in and positive steering

feel. Providing the

grip are 215/45 x 16in

Bridgestone Potenza performance

tyres, what

they lack in size they

make up for in quality,

they are sticky yet also

quiet, even on our coarse

chip seal.

There aren’t any

surprises within the

suspension, but if you

take into account that

the floorpan is essentially

Volkswagen Polo-based,

you can guarantee

a sophisticated ride

along with spring and

damper rates that arrest

body movement when

confronted with a quick

corner or two, and if you

really want to get serious,

a sport suspension package

is available, it also includes

bigger wheels. But even

in standard form the

Fabia wagon is an adept

handler.

Becasue the engine

develops its power low

in the rev band and the

constant supply of gearing

there is a seamless flow

of energy. It is responsive

and willing, easily offering

the performance needed

for a highway overtake or

a quick burst on a hilly

incline. If you take into

account its 9.6sec time

to make 100km/h from a

standstill, it is a spirited

car for the inner-city traffic

light grand prix.

Regular readers will

relate to my enthusiasm

for the traditional station

wagon. Sadly, the sport

utility vehicle has almost

spelt the end of that concept,

but the Fabia Combi

really appealed to me, it

is car that feels just right

from the moment you hop

into it.

I’m hoping that amidst

all the uncertainty in

Europe at the moment that

good cars like the Fabia,

and the hundreds of others

which find their way from

the Continent to New

Zealand, won’t be affected

by Britain’s decision to go

it alone.
