Sore neck – now paralysed
• By Gabrielle Stuart
ON A Saturday in March,
19-year-old Josh Caldwell
McCausland woke up with a
sore neck and a strange tingling
in his fingers – like he had hit his
funny bone.
He put it down to sleeping
funny, and brushed it off.
But the next day he woke in
agonising pain and, as his sister
rushed him into hospital, he
collapsed.
As breathing became a struggle,
he was put into an induced
coma.
When he woke up five days
later, he was paralysed from the
neck down, unable to move or
talk.
He still struggles to understand
how he went from being
a normal teenager, to being
trapped in his own body.
Just a week beforehand, he had
been three weeks into his dream
job, running an after-school
programme.
Ultimately, he wanted to be a
carer for children with disabilities.

DEVELOPERS AT war over
the future of High St heritage
buildings look like they may
resolve their differences without
having to go to court.
A group of developers
including Antony
Gough (top left)
and Philip Carter
had taken legal
action after crown
company Otakaro
Ltd opted to sell seven
of the Duncan’s
buildings directly to
Richard Peebles (left)
and his associates.
The group were concerned
about the extent of retail development
outside of the retail precinct
designated in the Central City
Development Unit’s blueprint
and said Otakaro Ltd should
have sold the buildings on the
open market.
However, yesterday both Mr
Peebles and Mr Gough said they
were confident of being able to
reach an agreement out of court.
Mr Peebles said he had been
disappointed that other developers
had taken legal action before
coming to talk to him about
the plans, but was sure they had
some valid concerns.
“Everyone is sitting down
and discussing their concerns
and seeing if there is common
ground, and there is a lot.”
Mr Gough said it was good
that Mr Peebles was interested in
restoring the buildings.
“We’re very happy with shops
on High St, not so happy with
turning the car park in behind
into a big retail precinct – that’s
not what the blueprint says.”
Several heritage advocates expressed
their support for Mr Peebles’
plans to The Star yesterday.
Christchurch Heritage Trust
chairwoman Anna Crighton
said the legal challenge had been
unhelpful.

SOME PEOPLE get dealt terrible
hands in life and Josh Caldwell
McCausland is one of them.
Josh until recently was a
healthy teenager into the
outdoors. But one morning he
woke up with a sore neck.
That sore neck has developed
into something much more
serious – he has inflammation of
the spine, is in a wheelchair and
is a patient at St John of God in
Halswell.
Reporter Gabrielle Stuart went
to see him yesterday and reports
on this courageous young man
on page 1.
Gabrielle said Josh’s attitude
was “awesome”.
We wish him all the best in his
bid to beat his illness.
A little bit of Paris has come to
the central city (see page 3).
Car parking we know is at a
premium in the central city, like
in Paris, and most other cities in
the world.
Many apartments don’t come
with car parks so the marketing
gurus are offering a deal – buy
an apartment and a Vespa comes
with it.

ROCKS FIRED
In the midst of gun crime on the rise
in Christchurch, armed robberies
becoming an almost a weekly
thing, residents are keeping an eye
out on suspicious noises in their
neighbourhood. Police responded on
Tuesday to a report of about 20 gunshots
in Bryndwr. Two units searched the area
and found the cause of the concern –
contractors loading a trailer with rocks.
Police say it should not deter people
phoning in with concerns they have in
their neighbourhood.

Free scooter with new home
Paris idea
comes to
Christchurch
• By Bridget Rutherford
A FRENCH marketing
campaign where apartment
buyers are offered a free Vespa
instead of a car park is being
used in central Christchurch.
Harcourts is selling apartments
in the new Prestons Central
development on Barbadoes
St, which is being built now –
but the apartments do not come
with car parks included.
Buyers would have to pay an
extra $20,000 for their own car
park.
So developers, the Rockwell
Group, and Harcourts have
decided to throw in a free Italian
Vespa Sprint
50cc scooter, to
those who do
not want to purchase
an extra
car park.
Harcourts
real estate agent
Mark O’Loughlin (left) said he
had seen a similar marketing
campaign for apartments in
Paris and thought it would work
in central Christchurch.
He said Christchurch was perfect
for scooters because they are
fuel efficient and easy to park.
•From page 1
“Those buildings, apart from
the few that are privately owned,
have been languishing there
since the earthquake and nobody
bothered about them until Richard
Peebles picked them up and
decided to do something with
them,” she said.
“Now all of a sudden other
people want to buy them as well.
“The biggest decision is choosing
yellow, red, blue or white,’’
he said.
The development would have
30 apartments, with 20 car
parks available to be bought.
There were 16 apartments left,
he said.
“We’ve had four direct sales
that have come from the marketing.”
The development is expected
to be completed by mid-way
through next year, he said.
“When they get the key for
their new apartment, they get
their new Vespa.”
Mr O’Loughlin said Harcourts
was looking at a similar
marketing campaign for other
developments closer to Hagley
Park in the future.

Well everybody had a good

Christchurch Civic Trust board
member Neil Roberts said the
legal challenge had been disappointing.
“That area of the city is fairly
dormant at the moment and it
needs to be activated.”
Former mayor Garry Moore,
who has been involved with trying
to encourage development of
the area, also said he had been
disappointed by the legal challenge.
“I think when we start trying
to beat each other up through the

CLOCK TOWER LIT UP
THe Diamond Jubilee Clock
Tower on Victoria St has been lit

Victoria’s reign. Lighting would
also be installed in the Edmonds
Clock Tower on the corner of
Madras St and Oxford Tce.
LIGHT FESTIVAL SUCCESS
About 75,000 people went along

manager Jeremy Hawker said the
numbers exceeded the organisers
expectations. The event, which
ran from Wednesday until
Sunday, showcased the work of

From kayak to wheelchair
ACTIVE: Before
the spinal
inflammation
which left him
paralysed,
Josh Caldwell
McCausland
loved getting
outdoors, hiking,
skiing and
kayaking.
•From page 1
He lived with his sister, nieces
and nephew he loved, had a busy
social life with plenty of friends,
and enjoyed tramping and skiing.
Now, he can see the snowcapped
mountains from where
he sits in his wheelchair in front
of the big glass windows in his
ward.
“This is the first winter I
haven’t been skiing in years,” he
said longingly – but then perks
up, with characteristic humour.
“At least it’s been a s..t ski
season.”
The technicalities of what happened
to him he knows insideout.
He had transverse myelitis,
a neurological disorder caused
by inflammation of the spinal
cord. Doctors don’t know what
causes it. His was a rare case
because it was in his neck, so left
him completely paralysed. Some
patients recover, but it is likely he
will never walk again.
He said the first month was
the hardest, as he wasn’t able to
talk.
His sister would bring in an
alphabet board, and he would
spell out what he wanted to say
by nodding or shaking his head
as she pointed to letters.
Many times, the frustration
brought him to tears.
He said the loss of dignity had
been one of the hardest things
to deal with, as people had to
help him do even the most basic
things.
Then came learning to brush
his teeth or to feed himself,
and the difficult trips out of the
hospital.
“When you want to go out for
lunch with your friends, saying
‘hey, could you feed me please’ is
not the best,” he said.
Now, his No 1 goal is just to be
back home with his family.
As his father died when he was
a child and his mother was out
of the picture, he had grown up
with his sister, Sarah Rushton,
and her children, Olivia, 16,
Lucas, seven, and five-year-old
Maddie.
The things he missed most
were picking them up from
school, or helping them with
their homework, he said.
But because he was paralysed
through an illness not an injury,
he does not qualify for ACC help
to get him back home.
He said the Ministry of Health
helped with medical costs, but
did not have the same programmes
available to help with
transport or to adapt the family
home for a wheelchair.
Mrs Rushton said she had
advice that her home was too
small to adapt for a wheelchair,
so she had no idea how to get
him home.
But she was determined to do
everything she could.
She is trying to fundraise
herself to get him a wheelchair
van and adapt the house through
a Givealittle page and charity
grants.
“Leaving him there by himself
breaks my heart every night,” she
said.
“He was always on the go,
always wanting to help
everyone. He is a really special
person.”

money to get Josh home can be

Ageing population will change how we live
• By Shelley Robinson
IN 2043, Christchurch could
have 84 per cent more twoperson
households than larger
family units and more than
double the number of 80-yearolds.
City council projections on
how the city will look in 30 years
are a stark reminder that an
ageing population, and the consequences
of it, are just around
the corner.
The increase in the 80-year
and older group will be two-anda-half
times more than what it
was in 2013, of 15,000. While the
over-65 age category will double
in the city.
Meanwhile, Selwyn could have
a population explosion of people
in the over-80 category, with
an increase from 900 to about
7000, while Waimakariri will
have five times its current figure
of 2000.
The data also showed that the
city is getting bigger quicker.
In the previous 30 years,
59,700 was added to the
population, while between 2013
and 2043 the city will grow by
nearly 80,000 – a 23 per cent
increase.
Greater Christchurch
Urban Development Strategy
implementation manager Keith
Tallentire said the data would
inform councils on the
infrastructure and resource
management planning needed
for the future.
Registered Master Builders
Canterbury
president Ivan
Stanicich
(left) and social
agency Age
Concern said
the city is not
prepared with
suitable homes for smaller and
older households.
Mr Stanicich said the city
council needed to work with the
building industry more.
“Work with the market we are
trying to build for in five to 10
years time. Where are we going
to put these smaller houses without
creating a slum?”
He said planning for older
people homes needed to be located
near a number of health,
transport and other services –
like a “community hub”.
“Where are they going to build
it? Christchurch from what I
seen, and I could be missing
something here from the council,
they haven’t really planned it
HOUSING NEEDED: Projections show by 2043, Christchurch
could have 84 per cent more two-person households than
larger family units and the building industry say we may not
have enough homes.
out. Where are we going to put
it?”
He said while the city council
did allow builds of older person
housing, it was not in quantities
that the future needed.
“If they designate this area to
be over 60 area, and have over
60s facilities, they [building
companies] will build it,” he said.
City council head of planning
and strategic transport Richard
Osborne said it was aware of
the demographic changes in the
city and the likely increase in
demand for smaller dwellings.
But he said provision of
adequate housing was up to
developers.
“The trend isn’t new and has
been projected for many years,
but it is up to the development
sector as to how and when housing
is made,” he said
He said city plans have
encouraged townhouses and
smaller units, but the number of
bedrooms provided “depends on
how the developer reads the
market demand”.
In suburban living zones, it
permits subdivision down to
400-450m², by providing medium
density and
higher density
zones for apartments
particularly
in the central
city inner suburbs
and in suburban
shopping areas,
he said.
Since the February 22, 2011
earthquake, the Land Use
Recovery plan enabled intensification
on residential suburban
zones where there was a dwelling
and what would be built
was one and two bedroom units
due to floor area restrictions,
said Mr Osborne.
Age Concern chief executive
Simon Templeton (above) said
authorities, including the city
council, needed to work with
others better, including health,
business, social services and the
building sector, to better plan.
He said authorities had
only ramped up planning with
the first of the “baby boomers”
retiring.

Dalziel opens campaign
whiteware warehouse
world’s best value whiteware!
Bid for
second
term
• By Bridget Rutherford
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel is
officially seeking re-election.
She registered her nomination
yesterday to go for her second
term in the top job, running
under the banner of Best for
Christchurch.
“I’ve been proud to represent
Christchurch for the last three
years, but I believe there is
unfinished business. As mayor,
I have based my decisions on
what I truly believe is best for
Christchurch – not best for
council, not best for Government
and not best for an individual
interest group – but best
for Christchurch,” she said.
“This is what I continue to
stand for.”
Ms Dalziel will stand against
confirmed candidates John
Minto, of Keep our Assets
Canterbury, and perennial candidate
Tubby Hansen.
Ms Dalziel’s bid was supported
by former National
cabinet minister Philip Burdon,
and Ministry of Awesome
founder Kaila Colbin, who both
nominated her for the job three
years ago.
Ms Colbin said she had “zero
hesitation” in nominating Ms
Dalziel for the second time.
She said it was difficult
to stand up to the public and
be open about the city’s
financial situation and insurance
issues, which is what had
to be done over the past three
years.
“She has done a tremendous
job. I’m really happy she’s standing
again.”
Ms Colbin is helping to organise
American conference
SingularityU, which is being
held in Christchurch in November.

Ms Dalziel said having been a

have the backing of former

Burdon, because it was a good
balance.

council and community boards
close at noon tomorrow.

Seeing red over

premises in Ferrymead has
attracted a number of complaints

from residents over its bright
green colour scheme.
The whiteware appliance store
has coped criticism before their
new building has even opened on
Ferry Rd.
It is set to open in early September.
Cares Appliances owner Matthew
Carpenter said it was the
first time he had received complaints,
in spite of his business
being in the city for 10 years.
“I had a complaint that said the
colour was terrible and disgusting.
I’ve also had comments from
third parties who’d seen the
colour and were put off by it,” Mr
Carpenter said.
This isn’t the first store of its
kind in the city. There are also
several other chain stores in
Christchurch on Fitzgerald Ave
and Barrington St which have
received no complaints for the
bright-green colour.

Cycling getting safer – survey
• By Shelley Robinson
PERCEPTIONS OF cycling
being a safe form of travel on the
city’s streets is the highest it has
been in five years – particularly
among students.
Environment Canterbury’s
2016 report on regional transport
showed that 76 per cent of
students, 15 years and older,
viewed cycling as a safe form of
transport, up from 45 per cent
last year, and 52 per cent in 2012.
Workers felt less safe cycling on
just 45 per cent, but this number
was up from 34 per cent in 2012.
About 55 per cent of residents
in the city can get to their place
of work by cycling, the survey
found, but according to the 2013
census only 7 per cent of workers
use pedal power regularly.
Cycling has been under
the spotlight in the city post-
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
with 10 deaths.
Spokes Canterbury chairman
Don Babe said the city council’s
$156 million cycleways project
has helped make cycling safer
around the city, especially the
partial opening of the Uni-Cycle
route that runs from Canterbury
University to the central city.
“They are starting to connect
now . . . it has just meant there is
big areas that can access the city
without going on the roads and
that is making a difference.”
He said motorists had also
changed their behaviour since the
earthquakes and had learned to
navigate roadworks and cyclists.
Many now allowed cyclists
to “take the lane” – ride in the
middle – through road works’
pinch points.
Canterbury University
Professor Simon Kingham, who
researches transport, said with
increased perceptions of safety
on cycles, combined with the
cycleways, more people would
opt to take up pedal power –
starting with younger people first
who were “bolder”.
Cyclist deaths since February 22, 2011, earthquake
June 2016: Phillip Eden, 60, died after being struck by a car on Main North Rd, near the
old Waimakariri Bridge in Kainga.
February 2016: Richard Chandler, 52, struck by a train at the Fendalton Rd crossing while
cycling
October 2015: Richard Caldwell, 59, died after in a downhill crash on Evans Pass Rd, no
other vehicle was involved
September 2014: Ming Chih Hsieh, 50, died after being hit by a truck at the intersection of
Carmen and Waterloo Rds
April 2014: Student nurse Sharla Haerewa, 22, was hit and killed on Lincoln Rd
July 2013: Colin Alexander, 76, died after colliding with a car on Hills Road, St Albans
March 2013: Joanne Drummond, 54, of Avondale, killed after being struck by a SUV at the
intersection of Breezes and Wainoni Rds.
March 2013: Carl Taylor, 31, died after being struck on his bicycle by a car near the
intersection of Breezes and Pages Rds
October 2011: Melvin Longworth, 69, died after colliding with a car on Hills Rd
May 2011: A 77-year-old man died after his bicycle collided with a car on Main North Rd,
near the Christchurch Northern Motorway
Alice West, 20, Canterbury University student. I think it
is a lot safer compared to when I first got here. Roads are
now a lot more developed. But I haven’t noticed a huge
change in the cycle lanes. There are also some places in
the city where I won’t cycle. I don’t like Riccarton Rd. I
have also had a few incidents on the Port Hills with the
tight roads. But it hasn’t stopped me from cycling around.
Ryan Hall, 20, Canterbury University student. Cycle
safety in the city has improved a bit since the earthquakes.
Obviously with the road damage a lot of people
are driving around the city more carefully. There are still
definitely some places I wouldn’t cycle. Places such as the
highways are not safe. But I do like the ledges on the Ilam
Rd, they make cycling a lot safer.
Miyu Uchijima, 22, Canterbury University student. Yes, I think it is a lot safer for cycling
around the city. I am from Japan and we don’t have a lot of cycle lanes and have to go through
busy roads. Some roads in the city are still bumpy and I have to be very careful. But I do
think cycle lanes have improved a lot since the earthquakes. The ledges up on Ilam Rd for the
university students have made cycling along some of the roads a lot safer. For the most part, I
find it safe enough to cycle around the city.

Wood mill dangerous
Historic site
must be
secured
• By Andrew King
WOOD BROTHERS Mill in
Addington has been issued a
dangerous building notice after
suffering numerous fires and
vandalism, and will be fenced
off either today or tomorrow.
The police, fire service, city
council and owner John Cameron
met last week to discuss a
plan to tackle the safety issues.
It was damaged in the
September and February earthquakes,
which resulted in it
being red-stickered.
The dangerous building notice
for 14 Wise St was issued under
the provisions of the Building
Act 2004.
It will be fenced off to restrict
access to the site and the city
council requested the sprinkler
system be re-commissioned to
allow firefighters to extinguish
fires without entering the building.
The fence will remain, while
DANGEROUS: Wood Brothers Mill in Addington will be fenced

the dangerous building declaration
is in force.
Mr Cameron said the sprinkler
system, while not compliant,
is back up and running.
He has also agreed to block
off any other entrances to the
building.
City council head of operational
policy and quality improvement
Robert Wright said
Mr Cameron has undertaken
to clear the site of any materials
lying about that could pose
a fire risk or otherwise prove
dangerous as well as blocking
the entrances.
“This includes windows,
doors, and other openings
where a person might gain
access inside the building,” he
said.
Investigation into
mix-up with prisoner
A PRISONER left in a
Christchurch Men’s Prison
exercise yard past lock-up was
due to a failure to follow correct
procedure and has sparked an
investigation.
The prisoner was left in a secure
exercise yard while waiting to
be inducted into a unit and was
missed during the head count at
lock-up time. All prisoners in the
unit were apparently accounted for.
He was discovered in the yard
between 6pm and 7pm by corrections
staff moving between units.
The incident in June has triggered
an internal investigation by
Corrections.
Prison director John Roper said
placing prisoners in an exercise
yard on arrival is normal procedure
until staff are able to induct
the prisoner into the unit.
“Corrections undertook an initial
fact finding review of this
incident and all staff fully cooperated
with that review,” he said.
A review of prisoner reception
and lock-up procedures has been
completed with a number of
changes made that are designed
to reduce the chances of a similar
incident occurring in the future.
A wider operational review
is planned to identify whether
any other lessons can be learnt
that will further strengthen our
processes.
“The security of our facilities
is paramount and at no time was
there any risk to public safety,” he
said.
Mr Roper said he cannot
comment in more detail while
the operational review is being
carried out.

Protection for police dogs
• By Andrew King and
Sam Pickering
SAFER: Senior Constable Lyal Bayliss and his dog Nox are the
first in Christchurch to trial a specially-designed stab-resistant
multi-purpose harness.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
POLICE DOG Nox is the first
in the city to trial a specially
designed stab-resistant multipurpose
harness.
He is one of 10 dogs throughout
the country who have been
fitted with the Mako harness
this week, which is layered with
polymer panels to shield the
vital organs from stabbing and
slashing.
Nox’s handler Senior Constable
Lyal Bayliss said it was a great
addition due to the nature of the
work he and his partner get into.
“It helps when he jumps over
fences, goes into buildings and
comes up against sharp objects,
as well as protecting him against
offenders who potentially have
weapons,” he said.
The robust design is made from
mil-spec nylon and trelleborg
material which does not absorb
moisture and also gives the animal
protection from blows and
kicks, similar protection to an officer
wearing their stab-resistant
body armour vest.
Senior Constable Bayliss is no
stranger to offenders having a go
at his dogs.
“One of my first dogs, an offender
tried to stab him with a
craft knife,” he said.
The harness, designed by
Hamilton-based specialist Sabre
Tactical NZ, weighs just over 1kg,
meaning it won’t impair agility
or speed, dries quickly and can
be worn throughout a shift.
The remaining 120 harnesses
will be rolled out to dogs across
the country within the next three
months.
Problem drinker figures
fuel for bar owners
• By Gabrielle Stuart
NEW FIGURES showing people
drinking at home cause more
problems for police than those
at bars, prove bars should not be
closed earlier, according to their
owners.
More than half the Cantabrians
arrested last year after
drinking had been doing it at
home, new police figures show.
Fewer than one in five had
been drinking in a public place
or at a function.
About 30 per cent could not
remember or say where they had
been drinking.
Trevinos owner Marty Fuller
is one of many bar and restaurant
owners who have been
fighting the proposed Christchurch
local alcohol policy, which
would force most bars, pubs,
clubs and licensed restaurants to
stop selling alcohol at 1am.
The policy is due to be debated
in a Ministry of Justice Alcohol
Regulatory and Licensing Authority
hearing in October.
The figures backed up what they
had argued all along, he said.
“From day one, our submission
has been that licensed
premises are not the problem.
Most are well-run, responsible
premises, well aware of the law
and our obligation under it.”
He said the biggest problem
came from people drinking a lot
of cheap alcohol at home or in
public and then causing problems.
He believed shutting bars
earlier would make that problem
worse, as people would leave and
roam the streets.
The city council spent more
than two years drafting up the
policy, and more than 4000 people
have made submissions on it.

bars be closed earlier? Email

No parole for ‘possessed’ man
• By Kurt Bayer and Andrew King
FORMER school caretaker
Noel Batstone feels “a bit sorry”
for the man jailed for more
than six years
after a frenzied
knife-wielding
rampage across
Christchurch in
March 2012. But
believes he is in
the right place
and agrees with
a parole board decision not to
release him.
Zakariye Mohamed Hussein,
31, who was “possessed by the
devil” during a rampage across
Christchurch four years ago,
remains a “significant risk” to
the public. He requires more
psychological treatment and
rehabilitation before he can be
released from prison, the parole
board says.
Mr Batstone said that while he
could see Hussein had a “hard
life” growing up, he was in the
best possible place.
“He should stay inside a bit
longer . . . he had to see his relations
being killed back home,
so I do have a bit of remorse for
him,” he said.
At the time, Hussein’s lawyer
said he was normally a “shy, reserved,
polite’’ man when on his
medication but when he doesn’t
take his drugs, he was “possessed
by the devil’’.
Pie delivery driver Marteine
Robin, who was kidnapped and
stabbed by Hussein, earlier told a
parole board hearing that the incident
had “a significant impact”
on her life.
Ms Hussein appeared before a
parole board panel for a second
time last month.
A comprehensive report outlining
Hussein’s condition, treatment
and progress, and delving
into his social and psychiatric
history, confirmed “significant
issues of risk remain for Mr Hussein
until such time as further
treatment and rehabilitation
have occurred”.
“Until such time as such work
has been undertaken, and a
report is provided to the board,
there remains an undue risk to
the safety of public and the community
such that the board must
decline Mr Hussein’s release on
parole,” the parole board’s decision
says.
It also noted Hussein’s “reluctance
to engage” in violencerelated
treatment was holding

back any rehabilitation.
The board was told that his
rehabilitation might be assisted
by more regular appearances
before them. Hussein, who arrived
in New Zealand aged 18,
is scheduled to start work with a
psychologist.
Hussein is due to be seen by
the parole board in February
next year.
The shooting drama started
about 7am on March 15, 2012,
when he was disturbed in the
grounds of Redwood School by
Mr Batstone.
Hussein chased Mr Batstone
and a teacher who barricaded

themselves inside a classroom
and phoned police.
He then hijacked 36-year-old
mum-of-one Ms Robin’s pie
delivery van and ordered her to
drive off.
She told him to “get the f***
out” of her delivery truck, but
he responded by forcing her at
knife point to drive him across
Christchurch, then stabbing her
in the shoulder.
“I feared the worst, I thought I
was going to die,” she said at the
time.
Ms Robin eventually managed
to escape when Hussein was momentarily
distracted at a traffic
jam almost one hour later.
But the drama only escalated
when Hussein left the truck near
the busy intersection of Hoon
Hay and Halswell Rds, and then
almost fatally stabbed a city
council worker who has name
suppression.
City construction worker
Jade Lynn, 22, saw the attacker
rampaging between vehicles and
approached him with a crowbar,
striking him in the neck, and
herding him away from other
members of the public.
Eyewitnesses described Mr
Lynn as a “hero” who prevented
Hussein from attacking other
bystanders.
Hussein was only stopped
when pepper sprayed, tasered
and then shot twice by a
police officer in his shoulder and
wrist.

Inheritance hunt successful
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A SERIES of mistakes and
coincidences meant 61-year-old
gardener Andrew Scott spent
more than a year completely
unaware he had been left a large
inheritance.
He began working for his
neighbour Doreen Shearer, who
died early last year, when he was
just 13, doing odd jobs and lawn
mowing for pocket money.
That led him into a career as
a professional gardener, and he
continued to work in her garden
for most of his life.
As she grew older and developed
arthritis in her hands he
did more and more for her, feeding
her pet sheep and coming to
her rescue if birds or mice got
into the house.
When she died last year,
without children, she named
him a beneficiary of her estate in
her will.
She had left an address for
Mr Scott in her will, but one of
the numbers was wrong, lawyer
Geoff Falloon said.
“In the end the address was
only one number out, but it was
on the other side of the street.
We went down to Hackthorne
Rd and sat outside the place,
and I even checked land transfer
titles hoping to find his name.”
He had met Mr Scott before
when visiting Mrs Shearer, so he
thought he could recognise him
and make contact at the funeral.
But Mr Scott had to miss the
funeral, because he had a medical
appointment.
It was a year later, when Mr
Falloon had exhausted every
other avenue he could think of
to find him, that he put a small
ad in the paper.
Mr Scott said several of his
friends contacted him about
the advert, so he went in to the
lawyer’s office, dressed in his
work clothes.
He will not know exactly how
much he was left until the house
is sold, but when he was told
roughly how much he could
expect he was left speechless, he
said.
“It took a while to get my head

around it. I thought I might get
the garden tools or something
like that. I was in shock,” he
said.
He did not plan to let it
change his life much.
He works for himself, and said
he had no desire to stop working
as he enjoyed what he did.
He was considering using
some of the money to pay off his
mortgage, and gifting some to
charity.
Decision
looms on look
of Lyttelton
buildings
• By Bridget Rutherford
LYTTELTON COULD soon
have a panel that will help
oversee what can be built there
and how new buildings will look.
The city council will decide
today whether to approve the establishment
of a Lyttelton Design
Review Panel for an 18-month
trial period.
It comes after residents Brent
and Ann Stanaway tried to build
a new home on the corner of
Sumner Rd and Oxford St in
2012, but had their design rejected
by the city council because
it was not suitable for the heritage
precinct.
The panel would be made
up of four Lyttelton residents,
with some form of urban design
qualification, to help review any
new build resource consent applications.
It would then write a report
on the plans, which would be
reviewed by the city council’s
Urban Design Panel.
The concept is similar to the
Akaroa Design and Appearance
Advisory Committee.

EDITORIAL
Dalziel v Minto
UNLESS SOME of the usual
suspects come out of the
woodwork today, and tomorrow
when nominations to stand in
the local body elections close,
the city’s mayoral race is down
to a two-horse war.
Sitting mayor Lianne Dalziel v
John Minto.
On paper Dalziel is a red-hot
favourite, just like three years
ago when her only threat/contender
was central city business
spokesman and former advertising
sales rep Paul Lonsdale.
She beat him convincingly, but
Lonsdale was never going to be a
serious mayoral chance anyway.
It was probably a smart move
on Lonsdale’s part to stand for
mayor though. It gained him
the publicity and profile for
the votes needed for him to be
elected as a councillor.
But Minto appears to have no
similar aspirations to be a city
councillor; he is putting all his
eggs into the mayoral basket.
Dalziel has become the centreist
moderate. The former trade
union official and long-time
Labour MP who fought National
hard in the debating chambers
during her days in Parliament
has former senior National MP
Philip Burdon at her side.
He was one of her mayoral
nominees in 2013 and again this
year.
Dalziel hardly ever criticised
the performance of the Canterbury
Earthquake Recovery
Authority when it was directing
and dictating the aftermath of
the quakes during her first term
as mayor.
She also has very rarely had
critical words about Gerry
Brownlee, the Government minister
leading the recovery.
Dalziel’s silence in this area
has been surprising, given the
level of criticism from other
power players in the city.
The only inference that can
be drawn by this is that she has
been happy with the Government’s
handling of the recovery.
But the rebuild has been
agonisingly slow in a number of
areas, which has impacted on
the city’s economy – tourism
being a key example.
However, this is unlikely to
have much impact on voters,
the majority of which are now
through earthquake issues and
looking to the future.
Cantabrians prefer conservative,
steady as she goes mayors
who get things done behind the
scene. In this area Dalziel and
her council have excelled.
They have managed to finally
get a good outcome to the earthquake
insurance payout debacle;
and as a result Christchurch’s
financial situation has improved
dramatically.
This outcome cannot be
understated enough. It gives the
potential sale of the city’s assets
some much needed breathing
space and relief in the short to
medium term for ratepayers who
could have been facing dramatic
increases in rates.
Minto will no doubt polarise
voters because of his role in the
protest against the 1981 Springbok
tour.
Christchurch was a hot bed of
protest at the time and no doubt
he will gain votes because of
that. But he will get no support
from the strong rugby fraternity
here.
Minto is campaigning against
selling off city assets like the airport,
port company, Orion, Red
Bus and City Care, which he will
pick up votes for.
The mayoral contest is under
way. Let the battle begin.
Readers respond to the
possibility of resident
parking permits to alleviate
parking issues around
suburban streets
Jenny Glasson, of Ilam:
Fully support this initiative, it’s
the only fair way to compensate
living close to the university.
We have traditionally been penalised
by living close, and now
just have parking ones side.
However, all that side is
completely taken up now with
tradespeople parking while work
is completed on the campus. By
6.45am the street is full.
We are penalised if we have
tradespeople to undertake
repairs in our homes. The
university needs to provide
parking on the campus, that’s
another issue however, it was
unfair to limit parking for
residents.
To go into service centres and
organise cones for special events
is impractical. This initiative
is in place in other centres, I
believe in Wellington.
Bob Broughton,
of Riccarton:
It is welcome news that this
issue has been taken up. Over
the years the residents around
Riccarton Bush and Kilmarnock
St, some with 120 parking, have
repeatedly suggested resident
parking permits but have been
Scheme to help buyers

many thousands of New

in recent years, and we’ve now

blocked by city council staff.
This in spite of presenting
photos of cities like Auckland
and many cities overseas showing
areas with resident parking.
One of the issues on parking
is the failure of businesses to
provide a realistic level of parking
for staff thus forcing them
to park all day on residential
streets.
Another is the naive planning
concept of one parking space
per apartment. For example,
apartments in the south Riccarton
area are occupied by several
people, each having a vehicle
an existing home, and up to
$20,000 for a new-build.

participants in the scheme
have been increased – to $85,000

The proposed city plan also
allows for taller commercial
buildings in commercial areas
such as Riccarton which increases
the number of workers and thus
will exasperate the traffic and
hence parking problems.
The university also contributes
to parking problems in surrounding
streets. The restricted parking,
P120 or P60, does have positive
benefits. It prevents the all day
high density parking with vehicles
parked on or even over driveways
making it difficult and dangerous
for residents to exit their
properties. In my area it allows
for visitors to local residences, as
well as providing parking for those
wanting to nip into a business or
for lunch and for Riccarton Bush
activities.
The issue here is that there are
those who persistently abuse the
time limit and park all day. The
city council does not have
enough staff to patrol all such areas
and the odd fine is still cheap
parking.
Perhaps a three strikes and
then increased fine might assist.
However, in the end, alternatives
to alleviate stress on parking need
to be found.
Registering tradespeople vehicles
with the city council for all day
parking certainly worked well
when we had repairs being
carried out on our house. I would
certainly support the call for
resident parking permits across
the city.

Reader Nicola Wilkie
responds to an article
about a smoking ban set
to be brought back at
Hillmorton Hospital
The smoking ban has failed
before, in 2010, put forward by

Board.
Those under the Mental
Health Act (1993) I see primarily
will be targeted – a loss of mana
and dignity on these groups of
people in our society.
A reverse effect may well happen
if the ban goes ahead, where
patients may be deterred from
seeking out services.
The rigid root cause as to why
patients end up in a mental
health facility I doubt would
have little to do with ‘smoking’.
Tobacco is not illegal – nor
is the freedom of choice. Ultimately,
it is the patient’s right to

Through KiwiSaver HomeStart
we expect to assist 90,000 New

over five years.
These increases will also be
applied to the Welcome Home
loans – the loans which enable
first home buyers to buy with a
10 per cent deposit and, because
they are Crown-guaranteed, they
are exempt from the loan-tovalue

by the Reserve Bank.
These latest steps are part
of National’s wider package
of measures to address the
challenge of housing supply
and affordability in our strong,
growing economy.
The package includes
creating special housing areas

Christchurch Regeneration
Aim to make
housing affordable
OVER THE last four weeks,
while Parliament was in recess
Andrew Little spent time on the
ground in Christchurch seeing
first-hand what housing needs
in Christchurch and Canterbury
look like.
Andrew knows full well that
our current housing crisis is not
confined to Auckland.
The Labour team and Andrew
have toured the city and visited
some exciting organisations and
people hell-bent on actually getting
homes built.
We visited with Habitat for
Humanity and met with people
who lives have been changed by
having the chance to get into
their own home. We heard firsthand
about the improved health
benefits for the children in this
family of a warm and dry home.
We’ve visited large new
housing developments such as
Wigram Skies and well-done
developments, that offer a range
of price points and are designed
to foster communities in their
new neighbourhoods.
Where we all differ from the
current Government is that we
understand that the current
development models won’t provide
the impetus needed to get it
cracking. A Labour government
will.
We’ve also seen the technology
that will allow Labour to
achieve its Kiwibuild vision of
building houses at the scale, pace
and affordability required. The
Concision Factory in Rolleston
is a joint venture between Span
Build and Mike Greer Homes
that specialises in offsite manufacturing
of houses. These are
prefabricated homes that are
built and assembled in a factory,
then shipped to the site. Each
house is different but the process
greatly speeds up the time it
takes to build a home.
With a major Governmentbacked
programme like Labour’s
Kiwibuild plan, techniques like
this will let us drastically reduce
the cost of building homes.
Recent statistics show that
since 2010, house prices in
Canterbury have jumped 36 per
cent. That’s pushing home ownership
out of the reach of many
families.
This is a problem that seems
to have completely escaped the
current government – they were
recently defending the $900,000
price tag of apartments in the
East Frame Development as “affordable.”
Clearly, their definition
is a little bit different to the
average Cantabrians.
So it’s clear that if we’re going
to get affordable homes for families
in Canterbury, we can’t settle
for a business as usual approach.
We need fresh thinking and new
ideas. Luckily, Cantabrians have
that in spades.

Canterbury spokeswoman

The controversial smartphone app Uber is creating serious
competition for conventional taxi businesses. The Star asked
people whether they had used the service and how they found it
or, if they hadn’t used it, whether they would consider doing so
Sam Wilshire,
of West Melton,
builder: “I haven’t
used it but I would.
I find it amusing
that watching
Border Control and
stuff on TV, they
are always going
along and busting
people who have
got no immigration
status, no working
permits, who are
driving taxis anyway.
So realistically,
shouldn’t we be
reflecting on the fact
that the people who
are licensed with
Uber are actually
citizens and the taxi
drivers, nine times
out of 10, aren’t? So
Uber drivers have
possibly got more
right to be working
in New Zealand?
Spencer Travers,
of Avonhead,
engineer:
“I haven’t used it
but I think I would
try it. I think for me
the convenience of
the nice phone app
they have is quite
useful, being able
to see where they
are. I have found
traditional taxis
quite unreliable and
quite hard to get
an answer out of as
to when they are
going to show up,
especially if it is a
Friday or Saturday
night. So I guess
you’re trading off
a bit of certainty
for not having
the professional
background checks
and so on.”
Alisha Ward, of
Ilam, unemployed:
“I haven’t used
Uber. I might
consider using it
but I have my own
car and restricted
licence so I don’t
really need to use
a taxi or anything.
The [lack of]
background checks
would be a concern
because I don’t
really want to hop
in a car with some
strange person who
I’ve only just talked
to. Really, a taxi
driver feels safer.
But the price side is
different and it is a
big thing, especially
for students and
I was recently a
student myself.”
The Star
Cushla Jordan,
retired dairy farmer,
of Avonhead:
“I haven’t used it.
If I had the app, I
think I probably
would use it if
it was going to
cheaper than the
others, but I’m quite
conflicted about
competition. I am
always unhappy to
see people [such
as taxi drivers]
being undercut
and, as a former
participant in our
primary industries,
for New Zealand I
understand what
undercutting can do
so I feel for the taxi
drivers.”

Kia ora, Christchurch
Kia ora, readers of The Star. I am Jin Zhijian, Consul General of the People’s Republic
of China in Christchurch. I am pleased to inform you that from this month on, the
Chinese Consulate General will open a column in The Star on the second Thursday
every month, releasing news about the Consulate General, important events hosted
by the Consulate General and the local Chinese communities, introducing Chinese
traditional culture, and expressing views on issues of common concerns.
In this first article of the column, I would give a brief introduction of the Chinese
Consulate General in Christchurch.
In June 2010, the Chinese government reached consensus with the New Zealand
government on opening the Chinese Consulate General in Christchurch. The
process of establishing the Consulate General was scheduled to start in May 2011.
However, a heavy earthquake hit Christchurch on February 22, 2011, and 185
people including 24 Chinese students lost their lives in the disaster. The Chinese
government and people stood side by side with the New Zealand government and
people at this difficult moment. The Chinese government sent a rescue team and
provided humanitarian assistance to Christchurch immediately. The establishment
of the Chinese Consulate General was accelerated rather than delayed. The advance
team arrived in Christchurch in the week after the earthquake, taking an active
part in the rescue and relief work. It was very difficult at the beginning, as the staff
even had trouble with food and accommodation. With the help of people from
all walks of life, the Chinese Consulate General officially opened on December 2,
2011 after more than half a year of hard work. “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
I would like to express sincere gratitude for the support from the city council and
people of Christchurch.
Our consular district covers the whole South Island, Steward Island and Chatham
Islands. The Consulate General comprises of Policy, Consular & Visa, Commercial,
Educational and Cultural Sections. The Policy Section deals with exchanges
between China and the South Island on the local level and handles media affairs.
The Consular & Visa Section is responsible for passport and visa services, and also
provides consular protection for Chinese citizens. The Commercial Section focuses
on promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and the South
Island, as well as giving some guidance and assistance to the Chinese enterprises
in our consular district. The Educational Section concentrates on the educational
exchanges and cooperation at different levels between our two countries, promoting
Chinese language teaching and serving Chinese students. The Cultural Section is
responsible for the cultural exchanges and cooperation between China and the
South Island. For further information, please visit our website: http://christchurch.
chineseconsulate.org/eng/.
Since its opening, the Consulate General has been actively engaged in promoting
exchanges and cooperation between China and various places in our consular
district, and strives to provide quality and convenient service to all circles of life in
New Zealand, thus becoming a new bridge connecting China and the South Island.
I took my post in Christchurch in September 2014. For nearly two years, I have
witnessed the rapidly developing relations between China and New Zealand,
especially with the South Island. I have made many Kiwi friends, all of whom have
taken great interest in China, and expressed enthusiasm and high expectation for
developing Sino-New Zealand relationship, which is a great aspiration to me.
The cooperation between China and New Zealand has reached an unprecedented
extent at present. China has become the largest trading partner, the largest origin
of overseas students and the second largest origin of overseas tourists of New
Zealand. Thanks to the vigorous development of Sino-New Zealand relationship,
the cooperation between China and the South Island has kept growing in fields like
economic and trade, education, tourism, culture, local exchanges and Antarctica
cooperation, marking an active phase of friendship between China and the South
Island. I am confident that the cooperation between China and the South Island,
especially Christchurch, would keep yielding new outcome with the joint efforts
of both sides.
All work bays 1/2 price for August only.

Besides setting up a column in The Star, the Chinese Consulate General will also
broadcast documentaries about China on Canterbury Television (CTV). Roof of
the World as the first run would be on show from August 13 (Saturday).
The documentary has six episodes (repeated Tuesday 9:30am and Thursday
2:30pm) and is trying to depict the relationship between people living in Tibetan
Plateau and the nature. It will focus on the incredible and unique nature state,
continuous and erect snow mountains, rich and productive land steps, cyclical and
round stream, soil and nature, animals, plants and men coexisting and surviving
together on earth. I believe you will enjoy it.

Nick Inkster
From backyard beer baron
Twelve years ago, Nick Inkster was pouring beers for his
mates at a hand-made bar in his New Brighton backyard.
Now the former carpenter scooped three awards for his
new bar – OGB in Cathedral Square – at the Christchurch
Hospitality Awards. He spoke to Bridget Rutherford about
what makes a good drinking hole
So Nick, congratulations
are in order after you received
three awards on Friday, how did
you feel when you won?
I was just humbled and overwhelmed
that people in Christchurch
were behind me and the
whole concept of OGB. It was
awesome; we’ve only been open
three months.
‘I built a bar in
my backyard in a
house I had in New
Brighton, and then
just dreamed of
owning a proper bar.’

So how many
awards did you
take home?

for two,

award. One of the
trophies was gold,
and they wanted to
me to go up and do a speech, and
I had to ask, what’s this one for?
Three months isn’t very long
to have been open to pick up
three awards, what do you
think it is that got you there?
I think people just love my
story. I’ve had three months in
hospitality, I’m not from a hospitality
background, I’m a carpenter.
I just wanted to bring some
heritage back to Christchurch.
How long were you a
carpenter?
Well I’m 32, and I’ve been
a carpenter my whole life. I
started in Christchurch then I
worked overseas for six years as
a carpenter in Western Australia.
I had a vision
to open a bar in
Christchurch and
I moved home in
November and had
the lease locked in
in June. Location is
everything.
How did you go
about getting the
lease in the old Government
building?
Well, three years ago I bought
an apartment in the building. I
wanted that location for the bar,
but I didn’t know how to get into
it. I found out that the owner was
going to lease it, and I already
had my business plan done. I had

it all planned. Everyone was like,

want to open in the Square?’ But
I said it’s about a destination.
Had you always wanted to

to award-winning bar boss
BACK IN THE DAY: Nick got his first taste of bar-tending 12
years ago, when he made a bar in his backyard.
Did you host a lot of people
at your home-made bar?
Once a month we’d have parties.
I had the bar set up and
we would have DJs and live
music. From there, I just enjoyed
hosting people. That was
in 2004, then from that my old
man always said he could see
me owning a real bar. He passed
away two years ago and that gave
me a lot of motivation to keep
going. He knew I was planning
it. I’ve got his name up behind
the bar on an old wooden sign
that was on our fence gate. Just
after the quakes they moved out
to Amberley and I fixed it onto
Mum’s letterbox. It’s got R.D.
Inkster on it. It suits the whole
décor of the bar.
Oh cool, so what’s the fit out
of OGB like?
I just wanted to complement
the building. It’s a 1913 building
so I wanted to stick around that
era. I’ve also got a 1946 Austin 10
car there, so it’s that whole Peaky
Blinders theme. I’ve been collecting
instruments for years for the
bar, and they are all on display.
I wanted to have that theme, I
love live music and I wanted to
complement that with the instruments.
So do some of your mates
from your backyard homemade
bar come into OGB now?
Yeah, we all meet once a
month. They come into the
bar the first Thursday of every
month. They can’t believe it really,
but I do believe it, because I
worked so hard to get here. But
there’s no such thing as can’t.
Do you have locals that come
in all the time?
Yep, we’ve got the locals that
come and sit up at the bar and
have a pint at 11am. It’s got a real
London style, English corner pub
feel that people feel at home in
when they are inside. It’s a cosy
space. My whole concept was to
create that timeless old bar in

central Christchurch that also
had a bit of live music. I wanted
Christchurch to have that. I
wanted to create something
timeless.
So what sort of work were
you doing when you were a
carpenter?
Over in Western Australia
I was working in oil and gas,
so building gas plants. Here in
Christchurch I was building
houses and commercial buildings.
Do you miss building?
I’m loving what I do now, but
it’s just about getting that balance
of staff, because at the moment
I’m having to be on the floor every
day. But I definitely miss the
tool belt, I wake up some
mornings and think it would
be good to go and build something.
And what do you do in your
spare time, if you have any?
At the moment I don’t have too
much spare time. But I just love
photography, that’s a big interest
of mine. I love my rugby, I’m
a Linwood rugby boy. I went to
Shirley Boys’ High and I helped
manage the Linwood colts team
this season. I thought about putting
the boots on but thought I
would wait until next season. I’ve
been part of the Linwood club
for over 10 years.

Light show thrills family
IN SPITE of the prediction of
sub-zero temperatures (and
my huge aversion to the cold!)
I knew that this was an event
not to be missed.
Last Sunday evening, I
rugged up my two big girls
and headed into Hagley Park
to mingle with thousands of
other Christchurch kids at the
spectacular Botanic D’Lights
show.
As an intended surprise,
I hurried my five and sixyear-old
girls through dinner
and then dressed them up as
if they were heading to the
snow – thermals, ski pants,
gloves, balaclava, thick socks,
winter jacket and a must-have
torch. They were bewildered
with what was going on, and
wondered why they were set
to leave the house looking like
miniature Michelin men.
But they didn’t fuss – they
were more focused on the fact
they were heading out into the
dark rather than joining their
little twin sisters for stories
and bed (though the twins
weren’t so happy about that).
With the city council predicting
up to 8000 visitors, I
anticipated a slow trip and lots
of time in traffic. I set an intention
to get a rock star park
as close as possible and so
crossed all appendages, drove
straight there, and found that
the parking pixies were on my
Melissa McDonnell
side.
We managed to find a spot
just down from the entrance.
Great start. The girls shrieked
as they hopped out of the car
to see lights flickering onto the
museum buildings, lighting
up the trees and shooting into
the sky. My five-year-old was
so excited I thought she might
faint – after all, she’s only
been out in the dark a handful
of times, so this was off the
charts.
As we wound ourselves
around the paths and through
the throngs, we discovered a
disco rink which got our wee
party started. The girls set fire
to the dance floor as the lights
synced to the musical beats –
they were in heaven.
Further along we were
treated to a genius lighting
feat. A series of projections
had been set atop a bridge
which beamed beautiful lights
into the sky while creating
captivating reflections in the
dark waters of the Avon River.
This extremely clever creation
combined technology with
nature to invent a phantasmagoric
experience which was
nothing short of mesmerising.
The magic continued as the
path provided a beautiful fairy
garden; an archway of lights; a
giant screen nestled in a pond
which projected evolving light
creations; and clever interactive
displays which invited
the crowds to get amongst the
fun. There were bubbles to be
chased, cubes to be rolled and
light canvases which came
to life before our eyes. Pure
brilliance.
As we came to the end of
the circuit, the girls were
flying high. In spite of the
freezing temperatures, their
cheeks were flushed and they
were oblivious to the cold.
They wanted so stay longer,
and managed to negotiate one
last boogie at the disco before
reluctantly heading to the car.
Getting home after 8pm on
a school night is pretty rare
in our household, so it was
straight to bed and lights out.
I could hear them giggling
and comparing their favourite
displays, and proclamations
of this being “the best night
COLOUR: Bright lights
entertain children in the
Botanic Gardens.
ever”. Yet there was silence
within five minutes. Two tired
and happy girls right there.
So a big thanks to the city
council for hosting such an
amazing event. It’s awesome
to be a part of a city that is rebuilding
and reinventing itself
with such a technologically innovative,
family-friendly and
altogether fun community
experience. We can’t wait for
next year!

HEAT PUMPS
FOR EVERY SPACE
Looking to invest in a heat pump, but not sure
which model best suits your home? HPAC has a
wide range of Daikin heat pumps for every space.
If you have wall space that isn’t impeded by furniture, a Daikin L
Series floor console is your best bet. The L Series draws cool air
from the bottom of the room and sends warm air out at the
same low level to have it naturally rise. You’ll feel every bit of heat
they provide. Also available is Daikin’s new Nexura floor console,
which features a small radiant heat front panel to provide two
types of heat.
If you’re aiming for optimal energy efficiency, the Daikin Ururu
Sarara (US7) range includes New Zealand’s only 7-Star rated heat
pump in the FTXZ25NV1B. Energy efficiency isn’t the only thing
that this flagship range of heat pumps provide. They are able to
humidify and dehumidify the air.
If you’re after a stylish option, we suggest the European
designed Daikin Zena high wall series. Available in White and
Silver, the Zena features a sweeping curved front. Slim and quiet,
the FTXJ25PVMA is able to run at a low 19dbA. The Zena is
sophisticated with a built in Wifi Module to allow the system to
be operated away from home on the owner’s device.
For the budget-conscious, the classically styled Daikin Cora
Range is smaller than the P Series high wall range and more
efficient. The Cora is available in the full range of sizes from a
small 2.7kW model to a 10.3kW model.
If entire home heating is what you need, Daikin offers a large
range of Central Ducted and Multi Split heat pump systems that
can be customised to your home.
Get in touch with HPAC today to see which heat pump best
suits your needs.

Add colour with chrysanthemums
• By Tod Palenski
NOT ALL flowers are created
equal. Some don’t like to be
picked. Some don’t flower easily
or for a couple of seasons.
Some require lots of ongoing
maintenance.
Fortunately, chrysanthemums
are not like some flowers. They
are easy to grow and their flowers
are long-lasting.
If you like to have colour
in the garden and flowers
in your home, stop buying
flowers and grow your own
chrysanthemums. There are three
varieties of chrysanthemum I
like. One is merry mix, which is
also known as love daisy, it grows
to a height of 50cm and produces
single flowers in a lovely
combination of tri-coloured
blooms.
The other two varieties are
snowland and moonlight which
will grow to a height of 20cm and
are good for growing in cooler
climates.
Snowland produces single
flowers with white petals and
a striking yellow centre, and
moonlight produces all over
yellow single flowers.
Chrysanthemums like welldrained
and dry soil with
plenty of lime. This means
they grow well with plants like
roses, lavender, bedded irises
and gypsophila as they all like
the same conditions. If you’re
planting tomatoes in a month or
two and want to add some colour
around them you could try
planting chrysanthemums there
too as, again, tomatoes like the
same growing conditions.
Chrysanthemums will grow
well out in the open but they
also like to be planted next to the
house as the soil there typically
has quite a lot of lime from the
foundations of the house.
Another place these colourful
flowers grow well is hanging
baskets. Try planting our
snowland or moonlight varieties
in the middle of a basket and
VIBRANT:
Snowland
(left) and
moonlight
are popular
choices.
then strawberries around the
outside. The strawberries will
hang over the side for easy
picking.
When you’ve got your
seedlings, dig in some compost
or organic matter to the soil first.
This will provide the plants with
some food to keep them going.
Then plant each one about 20cm
apart from the next. Plant merry
mix chrysanthemums a little
further apart at 30cm.
Because they like it quite dry,
they don’t need much watering.
In fact, if they’re watered too
much they become susceptible
to getting rust. Pick off the dead
heads to encourage more flower
growth.
And enjoy your colourful
garden and home.

Diana Noonan checks out what gardeners from all walks of
life wish they’d known a whole lot earlier.
THINGS I
WISH I’D
KNOWN
SOONER
From: Tiff, total
newbie, ex-
Dunedin now in
Vancouver
COURGETTES
As a total newbie to gardening, I ignored
the significance of cooler night-time
temperatures, especially in spring, and
almost killed my courgette plants. Early
planting can also be a cause of pollination
problems as there are not so many bees
around in early spring.
I’ve learned not to give my courgette
plants too much attention. I went around
pinching off what I thought were dead
stems but it turned out I was picking off
fertilised flowers that were getting ready to
turn into fruit! I now know that blossoms
wither away after being pollinated.
SOIL COMPOSITION
The make-up of your soil is really
important. I now test the pH level of my
soil using vinegar and baking soda – a
crude but easy method.
From: Finlay,
vegetablestall
grower,
Owaka
CARROTS
Carrot rust fly like to live and breed in
willows. I wish I’d know this before I used
willow as my shelter belts!
YAMS
Yams need plenty of water during the
months of December, January and
February.
Male courgette
flowers, which
won’t set fruit,
can be picked for
use in cooking.
From: Val Robertson, alpine lover,
Timaru
HEPATICA
If you want your hepatica to flower, don’t
cover their crowns! An alpine lover, I grew
hepatica for many years without success
until I learned this lesson. Now I mulch
around, but not over, the plants.
PULSATILLA
To get pulsatilla to flower when you live
in a damp climate, cover the plant with
a glass in spring to keep off the rain.
This keeps the moisture off the hairy
buds, which soon rot when they become
waterlogged.
GENTIAN
Learning how to get my Gentiana acaulis to flower was a rather expensive exercise – I
first had to travel to Italy! I saw it growing wild in the Dolomite mountains and now,
three times a year, I give mine a good coating with dolomite lime and water it in.
Flowering is no longer a problem.

GARDENING GUIDE
Potatoes
The first time I grew potatoes was for a work
competition. We were each given three seed
spuds and a sack to grow them in, and told
to use any product Oderings sold, to see
who could grow the most. After 90 days, we
all lined up and tipped out our sacks, and I
thought, “Really, it can’t be this easy,” but it
was.
Potatoes are an easy-to-grow vegetable that
can be grown in the garden or pots or other
containers, and with just a few months until
Christmas, now is the time to plant them if you
want a Christmas dinner harvest.
Growing potatoes in the garden can take up
a bit of space, and many gardeners forgo
growing them for this reason. There are ways
around this in the form of planter bags, pots,
sacks, and containers.
Potatoes are a warm-season plant and are
very susceptible to frost. Most gardeners
prefer to plant potatoes between July and
September, and plant a second crop again
in January or February, but in colder areas,
planting time is generally restricted to August
through January. Potatoes are adaptable
to both light and heavy soils; however, good
drainage is essential.
Oderings sell certified seed potatoes, which
means they are free of viruses and disease.
There are plenty to choose from, so look at
your local Oderings Potato Board and choose
one based on your taste buds and harvesting
time.

Tips to Remember:
• Watering regularly will promote smooth,
well-developed potatoes.
• Most potatoes are ready for digging after
90-100 days.
• If storing potatoes, allow the tops to
completely die off before harvesting,
discard any damaged spuds, and store in a
cool, dark, dry place.
• Pest and diseases can affect potatoes, e.g.,
aphids, blight, and potato moth. Consult
your local store for correct diagnosis and
control agents, but use Neem Granules as
a general pest control for any veggies in the
garden or pots.
• Potatoes sometimes get a scabby skin;
normally caused by a lack of calcium in
the soil prevent it by incorporating gypsum
when planting.
• Not all potatoes flower, so if unsure, wait for
the maturity date before harvesting, or until
the foliage tips start to wither and die.
• Sheep pallets.

• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE PRESSURE was on as Blake Haines
set out his equipment and ingredients,
preparing to battle some of the top young
chefs in the country for the National
Commis Chef of the Year title.
That was when he got that sinking
feeling: He was missing a crucial
ingredient.
In the rush to catch his flight to
Auckland at 5am that morning, he had left
his salt sitting on the bench at home.
The chefs competing had to bring all
their own equipment and ingredients to
the competition from their seasonings
to their pots and pans – which made for
some funny looks when going through
bag checks at the airport, he said.
It was too late to buy any more, so he
just had to work with what he had.
But he went on to win gold for his main,
an Akaroa salmon duo, half pan-fried and
half wrapped in nori seaweed and cooked
in plenty of chicken stock to make up for
the missing seasoning.
Winning a national title was incredibly
satisfying, he said.
He had dreamed of becoming a chef
since he was about eight-years-old,
cooking meals for his family – then things
like spaghetti bolognese or chocolate chip
biscuits, he said.
“My family were good critics, although
my mum never appreciated the mess in
the kitchen,” he said.
At about 14 he got an after-school job
washing dishes for a local restaurant, and
from there he was hooked, he said.
He worked for a while in Dunedin
and at the Hermitage Hotel at Mt Cook,
before moving to Christchurch with his
girlfriend early this year.
He knew Chillingworth Road owner
and chef Darren Wright through his work
on the Culinary Olympics NZ squad, and
said he wanted the chance to work with
him.
His main role at the restaurant was as
pastry chef which, he said, was something
he had always enjoyed.
“For customers, the first thing they try
is the bread and the last is the dessert, so it
either ruins or makes someone’s evening.
Hopefully they are the two things they
remember most,” he said.
After seeing Blake’s work in the
competitions, Olympic squad member
and Christchurch chef Mark Sycamore
asked him to travel to Greece with him
in September this year to compete at
the WACS WorldChefs Congress as his
commis chef.
But, although he hoped cheffing could
open doors for more travelling in the
future, he said he always planned to return
to New Zealand.
“We both love Christchurch and there’s
lots going on, so many new restaurants
opening and places to dine, so there are so
many opportunities here.”

Fashion
Costume designer
• By Annabelle Dick
A ST ALBANS stamp shop
worker will have her creations
thrusted into the limelight
after being selected to show
at the World of Wearable Art
Awards.
The garment Filigreen,
designed by Cushla O’Connell,
39, has been selected for
the Weta Workshop costume
and film section of the show.
“It’s pretty exciting. It’s my
second year. I had
a costume on stage
last year, but it’s
still really exciting
to have it on
display to so many
people,” Miss O’Connell said.
The garments have been
kept strictly under wraps until
the show in Wellington on
September 22.
But she said her garment is
pretty extreme and designed
to have an impact.
“We’re under hush, hush,
but I was inspired by the silhouette
they were wearing in
the baroque era. It’s not close
fitting – it has volume so it’ll
have presence on stage from
afar.”
EXPRESS YOURSELF: Stamp shop worker Cushla O’Connell works away to create
wearable creations.
She used upholstery fabric
for the one-colour costume
and a flexible wire called
fish tape to create the shape.
“The construction was full
on. I had to do a lot of construction
before I could move
onto the decorative layer,”
Miss O’Connell said.
This is the second time she’s
been chosen for the WOW
show after her garment was
selected in 2015.
“Last year, I used leather to
create my first garment.
I dabble in all sorts of crafts
and arts. I’m all over the
place – I’m not happy just
The Star
creating one type of work,” she
said.
She studied fine arts at Canterbury
University and considers
herself more of a creators
than a designer.
“I’m not so much into fashion
but creating. I work at a
rubber stamp shop.”

Miss O’Connell works at
Rubber Stamps by Montarga
where she crafts stamps, creating
images and taking classes.
“It’s nice to have a job that’s
creative.”
Designers were handpicked
from all over to world to make up
the final 133 garments that will
show.
Miss O’Connell is one of five
Christchurch people chosen to
show at this year’s WOW awards
show.
“Being up against the rest of the
world in a show that keeps growing
each year is scary,” she said.
“I’m just happy to have my work
on stage – you don’t get the opportunity
to show in front of such
renowned people often.”
The competition runs from Friday
September 22 to October 9.
SPREADING OUT:
Cushla O’Connell,
uses all sorts of
crafts to create
her garments. She

Dressing for a cold winter
Fashion writer Annabelle
Dick gives some tips on
dressing for winter and how
to incorporate summer
fashion trends into your
wardrobe
IT SEEMS to be the season
where everyone is jetting
overseas for an European
summer.
Snaps of sun-kissed girls in
white and baby blue sun dresses
in Santorini are scattering
my Instagram feed like no
tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m over
here feeling like three layers isn’t
near enough to step outside.
I can’t help but feel jealousy
wash over me when I see my
friends flaunting two-pieces on
the shores of Portugal’s most
beautiful beaches – it makes me
want to pack up my summer
clothes and jump on next flight
out.
But winter does have its perks
when it comes to dressing.
When it’s hot, wearing next
to nothing is the only option,
but when winter comes around,
more experimenting can be
done.
I find it easier to express my
style on colder days because
I can play around with more
pieces and I can finally drag out
my trench coat that only gets
three months of daylight each
year.
If I need a taste of summer,
I change my colour palette
accordingly.
This season has seen a lot of
whites, creams, beiges and blues.

Wendy Dunlop takes us on a virtual tour of these majestic islands.
ImagIne an archipelago dotted
with golden sands, lush jungle, active
volcanoes and ancient cultures. If this
sounds like your perfect winter hideaway,
in the words of the locals, “Yu blong
in Vanuatu!”
Just three hours from new Zealand,
Port Vila is the hub of Vanuatu and
located on the main island of efate.
Visitors will find agreeable resorts around
the sparkling erakor Lagoon or northern
coast, with facilities focused on relaxation
in a tropical climate.
Choose a room, suite or bungalow
with all-inclusive resort amenities
and activities that allow you to be as
active or as leisurely as you wish. enjoy
the independence of a self-catering
apartment or resort, or relax in private
paradise at the luxurious Havannah
Resort, which hosts a maximum of 34
guests at any one time.
Sightseeing on efate includes Port Vila’s
colourful history, markets and shops,
as well as an insight into traditional
village life at the Custom Village or at
the Botanic gardens. at the stunning
Cascade Falls, walkers are rewarded with
wonderful waterfalls and rock pools for a
cool, freshwater swim.
For a delightful day out, take the
tour or ferry to the marine reserve of
Hideaway Island. as well as an excellent
restaurant and beach bar, guests and day
trippers can hire snorkelling and diving
equipment to make the most of the
spectacular marine life.
There are few more appealing sights
than a lovingly restored wooden ketch
under sail on a brilliant blue lagoon. a
day aboard the Coongoola will transport
you to some of efate’s finest diving and
snorkelling sites, introduce you to a turtle
farm and provide you with a superb
barbecue lunch on Tranquility Island.
For a back-to-nature experience, you
can enjoy a romantic stay here beneath
thatched fales with the waves lapping
nearby.
Beyond Port Vila, the many outer
islands allow visitors to appreciate the
distinctive geographic and cultural
entities that make up the 83 volcanic
islands of Vanuatu. The islands of espiritu
Santo, Tanna and Pentecost are the best
known and are accessible by air Vanuatu
services for day trips or longer. There are
some wild adventures to be had there,
too!
Known as the “Sleeping giant”, the
island of espiritu Santo is a diver’s mecca.
Within clear waters, along stunning reefs,
view wrecks from World War II, when
100,000 american troops were based
here. explore million Dollar Point and SS
President Coolidge, which sunk in 1942.
Take a day trek into Santo’s interior
via a 30-metre bamboo ladder lashed
with vines that descends to a canopy of
green. Discovery millenium Cave – openmouthed
in a 15-metre yawn through
which a dark, eerie tunnel extends almost
a kilometre until you emerge into dazzling
sunlight beside the Vantar River. Sheer
walls are sculpted into magnificent shapes
and waterfalls plummet spectacularly as
you float along the freshwater canal.
Pentecost is famous for its land diving
ceremonies – forget elastic, this is the
original bungy using vines and a lessthan-scientifically-calculated
tower from
which to launch! It’s not for tourists,
however, and you only get to watch
this cultural rite of passage into male
adulthood.
On Tanna, Vanuatu’s “Island of Fire”,
peer into Yasur’s molten heart and feel a
deep rumble shudder from its depths. at
night, be riveted by its sound and light
show as embers fall around like glowin-the
dark confetti. nearby, Tanna’s
villagers shun modern comforts to live
traditionally in simple palm woven huts.
With more than 115 cultures and
languages throughout its islands, a diverse
range of activities on offer and top resorts,
Vanuatu can easily become your personal
paradise.

Plains FM in public access campaign
The Star continues
with its monthly
profile of Plains FM
FOR THE month of August,
Plains FM joins 11 other
community access radio stations
nationwide as part of a lively
awareness campaign called The
Big Listen.
The campaign will showcase
their user communities and the
radio and online content they
produce.
The Big Listen officially kicked
off last week with a function
co-hosted by Plains FM, the Association
of Community Access
Broadcasters and NZ On Air, with
the Minister of
Broadcasting Amy Adams giving
a speech endorsing the work of the
nation’s 12 access radio stations.
In her speech, the minister
said The Big Listen “is a tremendous
initiative to highlight the
importance and incredible work
done by access radio in New
Zealand. What a jewel it is, and
what a strong and important
role it has for our communities.
And if New Zealand is one
thing now – it’s diverse. There is
no such thing as a typical New
Zealander.”
CRITICAL ANALYSIS: Horizons expanding at Plains FM.
Around the country each access
station has fun events and activities
planned throughout August.
Plains FM is hosting an open day
on August 16 from 3-7pm and
invites the community to tour
the station, meet the staff and
broadcasters, and even have a go
behind the microphone.
“We also want to get out and
about into the community with
our gorgeous big ears on and
just chat to people” said station
manager Nicki Reece.
“Most people have heard of
Plains FM but many don’t quite
understand exactly what we do –
which is to provide the facilities
so everyday people in the community
can make programmes,
have a voice, share their interests
and views, and highlight their
activities and concerns as Cantabrians.”
Audio profiles of current
broadcasters and why they
broadcast on Plains FM will
be sprinkled throughout the
schedule this month. An outside
broadcast, cross-cultural and
cross-interest conversations will
happen on air and lots of images
on social media involving broadcasters,
staff and supporters,
proudly flaunting their big ears
around town, are also planned.
Research just released by
Colmar Brunton to understand
and explore how community
access radio meets the needs of
the community has revealed,
among other findings, that it
has a strong and credible community
brand, and the benefits
to the community are inclusion,
sharing, connection, belonging,
visibility and empowerment.
Another exciting development
is the announcement that a book
about access radio’s 30-year
history will be co-written by Dr
Brian Pauling and Dr Bronwyn
Bettie.
They will document the sector’s
place politically and socially
in New Zealand’s media landscape
and provide critical analysis
and commentary as to what
the future may hold for such a
diverse group of citizen-made
media facilitators and creators.
The Big Listen campaign continues
throughout August.

A musical about menopause
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
LYNDA MILLIGAN says
getting older is “crap” – but
there’s no need to get down in
the dumps about it.
She, along with three other
performers, will take the taboo
subject of menopause and make
a celebration of it.
Menopause the Musical is a
fiery show staged to classic tunes
from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
“Really it is a celebration and
confirmation of women in their
lives going through menopause
and what it means to them,” she
said.
The show is set in a department
store where a sisterhood
is created between four diverse
women who realise menopause is
no longer “the silent passage”.
Milligan, 67, started her
career in the city at a time when
performing art schools were not
prolific and she was required to
learn on the job.
She first joined The Court
Theatre in 1974, and learnt under
artistic director Elric Hooper
who served at the theatre for
more than two decades.
She is now an associate of
the theatre and has a colourful

A CHRISTCHURCH duo who
share a love for creating music for
children have been recognised
in the children’s section of the
Vodafone New Zealand Music
Awards.
It was announced on Tuesday
night Jenny Payne and Lucy
Hiku’s band Itty Bitty Beats won
both the best children’s album
and best song.
Their album Lay Your Head
Down and song Po Marie claimed
the top prize at the awards.
Both artists said a highlight

repertoire of more than 80 productions
and television gigs to
her name.
Most recently Milligan toured
New Zealand and Australia with
the production of Grumpy Old
Women – 50 Shades of Beige in
2014.
But a year and a half ago,
artists they had grown up listening
to including children’s entertainer
Suzy Cato.
The best song award came with
a $10,000 grant which will enable
the band to make their first music
video.
Payne said at this stage they are
just narrowing it down to what
song they will choose to use.
Itty Bitty Beats creates practical
music for parents and children
with songs about washing hair or
filling a bath with water.
The duo beat other artists
including musicians Anika Moa,
Anna van Riel and Peter Weatherall.
she followed her daughter to
Motueka to look after her two
grand-daughters.
After having a break to be “the
granny-nanny”, the musical has
brought her back into the theatre
with a vengeance.
Milligan is all about living life
to the fullest and said she faced
“To go there was such a treat
but to walk away with a bunch
of awards was just so incredibly
surprising. We are also enriched
by the experience-very proud,”
Hiku said.

menopause with a positive attitude.
“It is still part of your life. I
am grateful I can still move and
sing,” she said.
The only change she wishes she
could make was to her time in
her 30s.
After a difficult relationship,
Milligan was at a point where she
had to give up her biggest passion
for about 10 years.
“I was a wife and mother. I had
three children as well. I’m not
saying it was a waste of period,
but it wasn’t the most fulfilled,”
she said.
But she said there is no point
feeling sorry for yourself.
“You have to look at it from a
positive point of view and say,
well, I did it, got back and made
the most of it.”
And now she is happily single
with a fulfilling life in theatre
and has no interest in a relationship.
“I had a toy-boy once (in the
1990s) and once you have a
toy-boy, you don’t want to have
anyone your own age,” she said.
Milligan’s goal in Menopause
the Musical is to get women to
laugh about themselves and acknowledge
the point in their life
they have reached.
As part of their New Zealand
tour, Menopause the Musical will
be staged at the Isaac Theatre
Royal from August 30-31. To

Warriors side unchanged for Bunnies clash
THE WARRIORS are wary of
taking their foot off the pedal
and will continue their drive
towards the NRL finals with an
unchanged line-up for Saturday’s
clash against South Sydney at Mt
Smart Stadium.
Jazz Tevaga will again start at
hooker in the absence of the injured
Issac Luke with Nathaniel
Roache set to come off the bench
to share the dummyhalf duties
as he did in Saturday’s 24-14 win
over the Gold Coast.
The 20-year-old rookies had 40
minutes each against the Titans,
making a combined total of 59
tackles, and offer contrasting
skills with Tevaga defensively
strong while Roache provides
creativity and speed to the attack.
“We defended really well as
a team against the Titans and
those guys definitely contributed
at a high level,” said coach
Andrew McFadden.
“We had a lot of confidence going
into the game that they could
do the job.
“It was a little different to the
way we’ve been playing but it’s
great that we can call on anyone
and they go out there and do it.”
Luke had surgery on Monday

St Margaret’s
Olympians
• By Bridget Rutherford
A GROUP of St Margaret’s
College old girls have swapped
their school colours of green, red
and navy for black.
Five former students are representing
New Zealand at the Rio
Olympics.
Pippa Hayward, who left the
school in 2008, and Sophie
Cocks, who finished in 2012,
are both members of the Black
Sticks.
Goalie, Amelia Gibson, is a
reserve for the team.
Holly Greenslade and Olivia
Loe are both reserves in the rowing
team after coming fifth in the
pair final at a World Rowing Cup
in June.
St Margaret’s executive principal
Gillian Simpson said the
school was really proud of the old
girls.
She had seen them go through
school and play in representative
teams.
“I think every single one of
them had a dream to represent
their country.”
Each athlete had won significant
sports awards when they
attended the school, before going
on to represent New Zealand, she
said.
Hayward, Cocks and Gibson
all received a player of the year
award at different times while
they were at school, as well as a
number of other honours.
Greenslade, who left St Margaret’s
in 2013, won most promising
rowing novice, rower of the
year twice, as well as overall
sportswoman of the year.
Loe, 24, was also named
rower of the year, as well as rugby
player of the year, taking after
her father – former All Black
Richard Loe.
Loe said the Olympic experience
had been amazing so far.
“To be surrounded by so many
different athletes from different
sports, as a reserve, it’s a great
way to see your first Olympics,”
she said.
“It’s pretty incredible to have so
many girls here from one school,
and I think it shows a lot about
St Margaret’s, they always taught
OLYMPIANS: Loe and
Greenslade (top left) are

Olympics, while Gibson,

Rio with the Black Sticks.
me to set my goals high.”
She hopes to make the rowing
team again for the 2020 Tokyo
Olympics.
The Black Sticks play their last
pool games against the Netherlands
at 1am, Saturday, and
China at 11.30am, Sunday.
St Margaret’s will hold a fundraiser
to watch Sunday’s game
to raise money for its hockey
programme.
DO OR DIE: Christchurch BHS don’t want a repeat of last year’s
UC Championship semi finals, which saw them beaten 17-25 by
Shirley BHS.
Semi-final time
• By Gordon Findlater
IT’S DO or die this Saturday
when the UC Championships
top four sides meet in the
competition play-offs.
Christ’s College will host last
year’s beaten finalists Shirley
Boys’ High School, while
Christchurch Boys’ High School
host Moascar Cup holders Nelson
College.
Anything achieved over the last
14 rounds of the competition will
mean nothing.
Christchurch BHS know this
through last year’s experience
after they suffered a shock loss on
their home turf to Shirley 17-25.
“Any signs of complacency that
may have been there last year will
certainly not be there this time.
It’s still recent enough memory
for those kids that were involved
last year,” said Christchurch BHS
coach Mike Drury.
Christchurch BHS and Nelson
College met back in May producing
a six all draw at Nelson’s
Trafalgar Park.
“It was a day where both sides
defended really well. The down
side for them is having to come
down here. Whenever a side has
to travel it makes it that much
tougher,” said Drury.
The coach believes his side
has had the perfect preparation
coming into the finals with tough
win’s over St Andrew’s College
and Shirley. The team will be
without prop Isaac Roth, who
suffered a head knock against
Shirley. However, Brad Wang will
make a timely return after missing
two months of rugby.
The winner of the game will
play either Christ’s or Shirley in
next weekend’s final. It will be a
special atmosphere when Christ’s
host Shirley. The match will be
the first UC Championship semifinal
the school has ever hosted.
The two teams met on July 23,
when Christ’s took the honours
33-10
“Playing them on Upper [field]
is always a tough task, we will
go into the game with nothing
to lose. We’ve achieved our
goal of making the top four so
anything from here is a bonus,”
said Shirley rugby administrator
John Fox.

Peugeot’s hot hatch
with a difference
• By Ross Kiddie
PEUGEOT SPORT was set
up in 1981 as a mechanism
to further the company’s
participation in global motorsport.
It had mixed success
across a wide range of
forums – rallying, formula
one, touring car and sportscars.
As a company it probably
feels it deserved better
results given the investment,
but its success is probably
better measured through
the influence it has had on
Peugeot performance cars
destined for the road and
mainstream buyers.
Peugeot Sport today is
largely the performance
arm of Peugeot per se, and
it lent its name to the two
new-generation hot hatchbacks
just released on the
New Zealand market. The
Peugeot 308 GTi and GT are
both seriously good sports
cars at affordable prices,
the GTi lists at $58,990 and
$49,990 respectively.
While both can certainly
be categorised as hot hatchbacks,
there is a fundamental
difference between the two.
Regular readers will recall
my evaluation of the GTi in
these columns in ??. It is an
enormously powerful, petrol-fuelled
model which has
just a 1.6-litre engine, but is
rated at an amazing 200kW.
It is fast, and quickly became
one of my favourite drives
thus far this year.
But I had no sooner taken
that car back to the dealership
after evaluation when
I picked up the GT, and it,
too, is another surprise. The
GT is a four-cylinder diesel
model, and paired with an
automatic transmission.
Before you are left wondering
how that could be
treated as a hot hatchback,
the reality is that it is.
Elsewhere, the Peugeot
GT gets much the same kit
as its GTi stablemate, and
shares the same five-door
body style with body styling
little different. The GT has
the onboard detailing which
promotes the sporty image,
and sitting on the 308 platform
is a realistic everyday
hatch for when passengers
need to be carried.
I’m not saying it is a true
five-seater, there are three
seat belts across the rear, but
it is a comfortable vehicle for
four adults only, however,
PEUGEOT 308 GT: High performance diesel engine.
ride quality for those who do
travel in the GT is sublime.
That’s been a Peugeot legacy
for many years, the handling/comfort
compromise
isn’t jeopardised in either
direction.
I took the test car on
exactly the same high country
loop which I chose for
the GTi. The road to Lake
Coleridge Village is one of
my favourites for a performance
car, and the GT with
its fully independent suspension
reacts well to sudden
direction changes and forceful
entry into a quick corner.
Riding on sticky Michelin
Pilot tyres (225/40 x 18in),
there is direct turn-in and
unyielding grip from the
rear.

There’s no denying the feel
you get from front-wheeldrive,
there is a tendency
to push towards understeer,
but the traction control network
isn’t invasive and you
can feel the point where the
limits of traction are bordering
on being lost. That
being the case, the handling
experience is left largely to
the driver to decide when to
push harder or to back off.
Providing the punch is
a 2-litre, turbocharged,
twin-camshaft, engine, it is
rated by Peugeot at 133kW.
While this may seem like
a huge power difference to
STYLE:
The
Peugeot
308 GT
shares
looks
with the
GTi.
the 200kW of its stablemate,
bear in mind that the diesel
has a broad and consistent
spread of torque (400Nm)
available at just 2000rpm.
Add in the heightened
engine management protocols
at the touch of a button
– the sport mode remapping
device – the GT bursts into
life providing performance
figures almost uncharacteristic
for a diesel.
Peugeot claim an 8.4sec
standstill to acceleration
time, and a top speed
of 220km/h. It will also
scamper to 120km/h from
80km/h in 5sec, the generous
mid-range turbo boost
and torque supply providing
the driver with encouraging
accelerator feel.
The combination of power
and handling is fabulous,
the GT is nimble, agile and
responsive. While the term
GT relates to something
more grandiose (grand touring),
the diesel 308 certainly
fits into the category of
high performance cruising.
It reacts willingly to driver
input, and when it is working
hard it doesn’t overly
taunt the senses; there is an
angry growl and throb, but
the diesel harmonics are
subdued.
And as much as you
belt the 308 GT along, it is
doing so with little fuel use.
Peugeot also claim an amazing
four-litre per 100km
(70mpg) combined cycle
average. That relates well
to the 5.5l/100km (50mpg)
figure during my time with
the test car. Incidentally, a
4l/100km instantaneous
figure is also available at
a steady 100km/h (engine
speed 1650rpm).
As much as I admire
and respect the incredible
power outputs of the
petrol GTi, if I was a hot
hatchback buyer I’d be
looking seriously at the
diesel. You can have just
about as much fun, yet save
$9000 in the process.
Either way you are
getting a fabulous driving
experience built with the
values that Peugeot have
been providing in their hot
hatchback models for as long
as I can remember.

Show Homes - the ultimate way to shop around
In Christchurch and the surrounding rural districts we are blessed
with an extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle featuring all the latest
in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a
way nothing else can. You can absorb
the ambiance they present, admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology all in one place, under
a roof that you may just select for your
new home.
At a show home you can ask
questions, take notes and compare them
to other builders’ presentations. You
don’t have to visualise or imagine full
scale from a photo in a glossy, you can
simply see at a glance, often instinctively,
features you like, things you would avoid
and clever innovation that you never
would have thought of.
Best of all you will see the building
companies’ attention to detail, from
design, construction and finish through
to interior decor, outdoor living and
landscaping.
Show homes are the perfect way to
get a good idea of pricing, discover what
is good quality and value, learn about
superior use of space, future-proofing,
ongoing maintenance and long term
returns. So what are you waiting for?
Check out our maps, grab a notepad and
pencil and begin the exciting project of
building your own home.

Topic is death
Local musician, Dizzy Height is proud to
announce the completion of his latest
recording, Passing Shadows.
“It's safe to say that this album is very,
very different and deals with a topic not
many are game to talk about let alone record
an album about, and that is the subject of
death,” says Dizzy Height. “Having worked
as an Embalmer/Funeral Director for 9
years I have seen a lot of death. The
inspiration for the album is based on my
many experiences.”
Consisting of nine tracks, the recording is
said to be a very thought provoking and
inspiring CD.
Written, performed, and produced by
Dizzy Height, the tracks feature a unique
blend of classically inspired pieces infused
with traditional rock guitar.
From the opening title track 'Passing
Shadows' to the final track 'After Life' the
album has a positive theme which
encompasses all the things that most people
have thought about at some stage.
For more information go to
www.dizzyheight.com
