Jesse’s trip to Disneyland
• By Fraser Walker-Pearce
ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD Jesse
George thought he was having a
regular check up when his care
worker Paul Graham came to his
house yesterday afternoon.
Mr Graham handed the
Chisnallwood Intermediate
student a letter, and smiled as he
said: “I’ve got some bad news for
you.”
Jesse looked confused, but his
face lit up when he read the letter
– he’s going to Disneyland.
Jesse was born with Duchenne
muscular dystrophy, a disorder
that affects about one in 3500
boys. It means it is hard for him
to carry out every day activities
as his muscles are slowly breaking
down.
But thanks to Koru Care
Christchurch and Air New
Zealand, this time next month,
he along with 23 other children
with serious and ongoing medical
issues will be taken on the
adventure of a lifetime.
Jesse said he is looking
forward to everything, but he’s
most excited about visiting Disneyland
to see his favourite movie
character, Darth Vader.
“I hope he’s there [Darth
Vader]. I also really like LEGO,
toys, YouTube . . . so I’ll try and
get lots of toys over there,” he
said.
Details
of anchor
projects
report
revealed
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A REPORT on the anchor
projects the Government
refused to release to the city
council was handed without
question to Labour MP
Megan Woods.
The due diligence
report on projects like
the Convention Centre
and sports stadium was
asked for by the city
council, which has been
trying to assess what
cost liability for the projects
it may have in the future.
But the Department of Prime
Minister and Cabinet, which is
overseeing the rebuild, refused
to release the report on the
grounds of commercial sensitivity.
Dr Woods’ office requested
the report under the Official
Information Act in April, but
it was not provided until last
month. The response, which had
parts redacted, was signed off by
DPMC director Kelvan Smith.
In May, Mr Smith
refused to give the
report to city council
chief executive Karleen
Edwards.
Dr Woods passed it
onto The Star this week.
Dr Woods said there
was no reason the report
should have been kept
from the city council.
“It certainly should have been
shared in a strategic partnership,
especially as council is
having to grapple with this as
they will be responsible for running
of some of these projects
and have to bear the costs,” she
said.

YOU SERIOUSLY have to
wonder what’s going on between
the Government and the city
council.
Last week we revealed the
Department of Prime Minister
and Cabinet refused to release a
report to the city council on the
anchor projects, on the basis of
commercial sensitivity.
It was a clear snub to the city
council wanting to get a better
insight into what lies ahead for it,
and ratepayers cost-wise, when
they inherit the running of big
ticket items like the Convention
Centre and sports stadium.
A week on, the city council
still hasn’t got the report, but The
Star has, courtesy of Wigram
MP Megan Woods who accessed
it via the Official Information
Act.
DPMC director Kelvan Smith
confirmed yesterday that the
report still hasn’t gone to the
council. He has changed his tune
from a week ago when he said
it was because of commercial
sensitivity. Now he says the
report is outdated.
For the big projects to progress
the city council is going to have
to start fighting back.

The French gravy train
Hospital board
chief sent

• By Shelley Robinson
CANTERBURY District
Health Board forked out more
than $65,000 to send its chief
executive to a French business
school three times over five
months.

He is the latest high level
Christchurch executive revealed
to have attended the school,
courtesy of the public purse.
The campus is sprawled across
eight hectares, nestled in the
picturesque Forest of Fontainebleau.

chief executive Bill Bayfield for
four weeks in 2013, while the
now defunct Cera spent $55,000
sending former Christchurch
Central Development Unit boss
Warwick Isaacs. Mr Issacs was
sent more than a year after he
left the organisation.
Mr Meates attended the
International Directors Programme
at a cost of $25,383,
which included meals, while the
remainder was spent on flights
and accommodation.
The three “seminars” ran from
September 13-16, November 23-
25 and January 14-16.
The INSEAD programme outline
says it equips attendees with
the fundamentals of director
and board effectiveness, CEO
oversight, as well as crisis and
performance management.
Transport cost was on average
$11,648 per trip, including business
class flights. Accommodation
at INSEAD cost about $700 per
stay with meals. A further $179
was spent on additional meals.
The INSEAD trip is included
in the $180,000 Mr Meates spent
on travel since July 2010. This
also includes his travel expenses
as chief executive of the West
Coast District Health Board.
About $70,000 in total was
spent on international travel,
including trips to the United
States, Hong Kong and Australia,
for conferences or presentations.
The CDHB is facing huge
financial pressures, and is
struggling with the increased
mental health needs of the postearthquake
population and a
large rebuild programme, while
delivering a $1.3 billion budget.
The CDHB remuneration
and appointments committee,
comprised of chairman Murray
Cleverley and elected members
Steve Wakefield and David Morrell,
suggested the course and
approved it.
The remainder of the board
were not told until December
that Mr Meates had been to
France.
Mr Meates earns between
$570,000 and $579,000, according
to State Services Commission
data from 2015.
Details of anchor projects report revealed
•From page 1
She was worried by the
millions of dollars the report
revealed had already been spent
on projects like the Convention
Centre and sports stadium, and
questions over central city roading
projects.
The report includes information
that the new stadium may
not make enough to cover
running costs, questions over
whether roading projects could
be completed and a failed plan to
expand the Bus Interchange.
Dr Edwards wrote to Mr
Smith personally in May asking
for the report, saying city council
staff needed the information
urgently to help with their work.
Mr Smith told The Star
yesterday he was not aware of
Dr Woods’ request when he
responded to Dr Edwards.
By the time he signed off
the release of the report to Dr
Woods last month, he said
information in it was outdated
because of further work done by
Ōtākaro Ltd.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel yesterday
refused to get drawn into the
debate and declined to answer
questions about whether it would
affect the city council’s relationship
with the DPMC.
She said it was an issue that
“sits with the organisation”, so
better answered by chief executive
Dr Edwards.
Dr Edwards said she was satisfied
with updates on the projects
at regular meetings.
“Due to the close relationship
we have worked hard to develop
with the Crown agencies, and
our ongoing collaborative work,
timewise the information requested
was no longer needed.”
But Ms Daziel’s mayoral rival
John Minto said it showed the
Government was treating council
with “thinly veiled contempt”.
Ms Dalziel needed to “stand
up”, he said.
“If the mayor won’t comment
I think it shows she is exactly
where Gerry Brownlee wants her
– under his thumb,” she said.

In Brief
FUNDRAISING RIDE
Sarah O’Keefe and her mother
Lynne will head off on their
Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari
journey on Saturday to raise
money for the NZ Cancer
Society. The pair will be among
250 people to ride the 250km
from Christchurch to Hokitika
on scooters. Sarah, 32, was
diagnosed with hodgkins
lymphoma, about 10 years ago
and since then has fought off
the disease three times. So far
they have raised more than
$2700.
NO LEGAL ACTION
Legal action over the $50
million McKenzie & Willis
development on High St has
been withdrawn after the
developer, 181 High Ltd, agreed
to limit retail tenancies to a
maximum of 150sq m. City
Centre Christchurch Ltd, which
includes several prominent
developers and business people,
had sought a judicial review
over resource consents granted
for the area, which it argued
was not intended to be used for
retail. The case had been set for
the High Court in February.
Food and beverage outlets
would not be subject to the
restrictions on tenancy size.
NEW SUBDIVISIONS
Large residential developments
throughout the city will go
ahead later this month as part of
the Christchurch Replacement
District Plan. Subdivision
developments will go ahead
in South Masham, near the
Yaldhurst Masham residential
community; on the surplus land
on the western part of Riccarton
Racecourse; and at Prestons;
Yaldhurst and Wigram. Six
further subdivisions will be
built in the northern, southern,
south-west and south-east areas
of Halswell and Hendersons.
The time frame for the
developments is still to be
confirmed by the city council.

CERA’s anchor projects and
As the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority
wound down last year, it commissioned Deloitte to
outline the work it had done on the city’s anchor
projects in a report it could hand over to the agencies
managing the next phase of the rebuild. Large parts
of the report were redacted before it was released
to Labour MP Megan Woods under the Official
Information Act, but the rest revealed details which
have been kept under wraps until now. Reporter
Gabrielle Stuart outlines them
MORE THAN a third of the $45.7
million CERA spent developing
the Avon River Precinct went
into planning and “definition” of
the project – it sucked up $16.3
million of the budget.
The precinct includes the Margaret
Mahy Family Playground,
The Terraces, Victoria Square
redevelopment and the North
Frame community spaces and
garden.
According to the report, it
spent $15.9 million in the “planning
phase” of the project, and
more than $400,000 on the “definition
phase”.
It spent $29.4 million on the
“execution” of the projects, which
included $13.9 million on the
Margaret Mahy playground, $7
million on the Terraces, $2.9 million
on in river works and $4.3
million on “delivery management”.
The $45.7 million does not
include the cost of land, which
added up to more than $19 million
for the North Frame section
of the project, and $23 million for
the playground section.
The total budget Government
set aside for land, design and
construction of the project was
$89.2 million, but that was raised
to $116 million last year.
CLEANING UP asbestos and
other contamination on the
site of the planned Convention
Centre could cost up to $5.6m,
even before building work starts.
Asbestos was found at “a number”
of locations within the site,
the report revealed. Of those,
four had levels above the guidelines,
so the contaminated material
would need to be removed,
treated or encapsulated.
Other kinds of contamination
on the site meant parts of the
land was “below human health
acceptance criteria”, it said.
The $5.6m budget to deal with
it was based on a “worst case estimate”,
if all the contaminated
material had to be removed and
dumped.
The total budget and scope
of the project is still under
wraps, after the break down of
the planned partnership with
Plenary Conventions, which is
made up of the Carter Group
and Ngai Tahu Property.
The Government contribution
to the project was capped at
$284m.
Six full pages of the report
were censored, and large portions
of text redacted on a
further five pages.
But it revealed more than
$74 million had already been
spent buying and clearing land
in the two city blocks between
Cathedral Square and Armagh
St, which were set aside for the
project.
A further $5.5 million was
spent on things like planning
and design during the partnership
with Plenary Conventions.
A PLAN to build and rent out
commercial spaces within the
Bus Interchange was scrapped,
because uncertainty over its
future put businesses off.
The Lichfield St side of the
building was designed so
it could be extended up to
three storeys high, and space
was included for commercial
buildings behind the
interchange.
CERA approached private
sector companies to see if
they would be interested in
moving into the space. But
according to the report, they
were not interested because
of “uncertainty over the longterm
ownership of the Bus
Interchange”.
The interchange was built
by CERA, but a decision over
whether the Government,
council or a private partner will
run it long-term has not yet
been made.
The report also revealed it
cost CERA $1.5 million per year
to run the interchange.
Some of the costs may
be covered by rental of the
five shop spaces inside the
interchange, but the amount
that brought in was redacted.

spending revealed
The cost of running the old
city bus exchange in the year
before the earthquakes was
$1.15 million, but the actual
cost to the city council was only
about $440,000 per year once
rent and other returns were
factored in.
Although the exchange was
built without the extra commercial
space, the foundations
were designed so the building
could be extended if the space
was needed in the future.
THERE IS a question mark
over the future of the central
city roading plan, which laid
out changes like the 30km/h
speed limit.
The report revealed issues
with funding may mean the
project is left incomplete.
The project, An Accessible
City, is split into five stages,
with the cost of the first phase
paid for jointly with $27 million
from the city council, $18
million from the NZTA and $31
million from the Crown.
It involved road projects like
the changes made to Hospital
Corner and Hagley Ave, as well
as installation of bus stops, cycle
lanes and pedestrian crossings
within the four avenues.
But the report said there was
a risk funding would not be
found for the future projects. It
said securing the funding was
not a Crown responsibility.
“If insufficient funding is secured
and stakeholder impetus
wains there is potential for the
programme as a whole to falter,”
it said.
The city council has set
aside $101 million for the
project in its long-term plan,
but that is not expected to be
enough.
If the project faltered that
could have flow on implications
for the success of other anchor
projects, the report said.
Many of the changes were
designed to manage changing
traffic flows as the major projects
were built.
CERA WENT ahead with
spending more than $40 million
on buying land and developing
plans for the proposed new
sports stadium, in spite of being
warned the stadium could lose
money after it was built.
The report revealed the findings
of a CERA scoping study on
the $470 million stadium project,
which was set to be built in the
central city between Tuam and
Hereford Sts.
It said even covering operating
costs, without factoring in things
like depreciation, would be a
“financial challenge”.
“Our experience with the previous
stadium in Christchurch
indicated that the stadium could
make a small operating surplus
before funding and depreciation
costs, but made a deficit after
depreciation charges (and) could
not afford to fund interest and
principal repayments on any
significant level of debt,” the
report said.
As of October last year, CERA
had spent $40.2 million on land
for the project, and more than
$130,000 in “other spending”.
The stadium was originally set
to be completed next year, but
the project was put on hold until
at least 2021.
The future of the Lancaster
Park stadium has not yet been
decided.
The city council was waiting to
make a decision until it received
its insurance payout, but the
$635 million global settlement
was paid in February.
It is now waiting for assessments
on the state of the structure
and the land it is on.

Paedophile jailed for five years
• By Kurt Bayer
A CHRISTCHURCH
paedophile who paid an
Auckland woman $300 to send
him a video of her sexually
violating a one-year-old child
has today been jailed for five
years.
Matthew Garland Kelly, 22,
was jailed for the horrific online
offending at the district court
yesterday.
Kelly’s crimes came to the attention
of police after a woman
read his Facebook chats.
Police went to his Christchurch
home two days later, on
May 9 last year, and seized a
number of computers and cellphones.
The police electronic crime
lab found a large number of
disturbing images, videos and
online conversations.
They also found Facebook
chats with a woman where Kelly
posted a number of images of
young children and babies and
described in details the sexual
acts he was going to perform on
them.
In August 2014, he contacted
24-year-old Auckland woman
Krystal Harvey.
Kelly asked Harvey to send
him photos of children wearing
nappies and also ones where
they were naked.
He then encouraged her to
make a video of her performing
a sex act on a one-year-old child.
Harvey initially stated that she
wouldn’t do that, but claimed
that Kelly threatened her if she
didn’t do what he wanted.
But she later admitted sending
the video to Kelly for monetary
gain. He paid her $300.
Kelly’s offending was planned
and premeditated, Judge Paul
Kellar said yesterday.
The judge said that Kelly
had arranged and encouraged
Harvey to commit the offence,
record it, and send him the
footage.
“She should, and could, have
said no,” Judge Kellar said.
“But the offending would
never have occurred if you

didn’t encourage it.”
Judge Kellar noted that infants
are the most helpless members
of society.
Kelly was also found with
images of naked young girls in
sexual poses, and other photos
and videos, where children were
involved in sexual acts with
adults.
There was also a video of a
woman performing an oral sex
act on a dalmatian dog.
In February 2014, he contacted
two other women online
and offered money to have time
alone with their young daughters,
both aged under five. Kelly
described in detail the sex acts
he wanted to do on her.
Kelly was found with about 70
images he had taken of himself
wearing only a nappy, as well as
Mon-Fri bulletins: 5.30pm, repeats at 7pm and 9.30pm

eight images of animals involved
in sexual acts with children and
adults.
When questioned by police,
Kelly tried to blame another
man.
Defence counsel Andrew
Bailey said Kelly is now aware
of the seriousness of his crimes
and the harm he has caused.
He described Kelly as being
“younger than his years” and
was immature.
Kelly earlier pleaded guilty
to 16 charges, including one of
sexual violation by unlawful
sexual connection, five of making
an objectionable publication,
and 10 of possession of an objectionable
publication.
Harvey was sentenced at
Manukau District Court earlier
this year to eight months’ home
detention and 100 hours of community
work.
But the Crown appealed the
sentence and a jail term of three
years and nine months was later
imposed at the High Court.
Judge Kellar noted that Kelly
himself had been abused as a
child, and that he had been aged
19-20 around the time of the
offending.
As he jailed him for five years,
members of the public gallery
sobbed and hugged each other.
Food market
plan for city
• By Bridget Rutherford
DEVELOPER Richard Peebles
is looking to by a block of
central city land to turn into an
International-style fresh food
market.
Mr Peebles (left)
wants to develop an
indoor food market,
and has been
looking at several
sites for it.
The Star understands
he is in negotiations with
Otakaro Ltd to buy the land the
current Re:Start Mall is on for the
development.
Re:Start, which was opened
in following the February 2011
earthquake and sits on Cashel St,
was due to wind up at the beginning
of next year.
Mr Peebles said the food market
plan was “sensitive” and he did
not want to comment on what site
he was looking at.
“I’m looking for a site for a covered,
seven day a week fresh food
market,” he said.
Mr Peebles is also
developing the $50 million
McKenzie & Willis building on
High St.

Council hopefuls: Where
• By Bridget Rutherford
ABOUT A third of candidates
standing for council seats do
not live in the area they would
represent if elected.
There are 40 candidates standing
for the city council across the
16 wards.
However, 14 do not currently
live in the ward they want to
represent.
The Burwood, Cashmere,
Fendalton, Innes, Riccarton and
Linwood Wards are the only ones
that are guaranteed to have a
councillor representing them that
lives there.
But the Waimairi Ward will not
be, because both candidates, Cr
Raf Manji and Anthony Rimell,
live outside of the boundary.
There is no legal requirement
for councillors to live in the ward
they are representing, although
most choose to do so.
Cr Jamie Gough, who was
elected to the Fendalton Ward
unopposed, said strategy had
definitely come into play in terms
of what wards people were standing
in.
However, he said it did not matter
if candidates did not live in the
ward they were representing.
Elections 16
“People need to vote for the
most capable candidate who has
a strong governance skill-set
which will add value to our city
as a whole, not vote for someone
because they live down the street
from you.”
Harewood has the most candidates
running for the council seat
out of all wards. However, three
of the five are not residents there.
Faimeh Burke, Rod D Cameron
and Rod S Cameron live outside
the boundary, while Aaron
Keown and Brian Gargiulo are
inside.
Both Jo Kane, who lives at
Waikuku Beach, and Dean
Lester, who lives just outside
the boundary, are both running
for the Coastal Ward, while Cr
Paul Lonsdale is in the mix for
Heathcote, in spite of living in
Fendalton.
Cr Phil Clearwater, who would
have been up against Cr Tim
Scandrett had he run in the
Cashmere Ward where he lives,
has opted for Spreydon.
Mike Davidson and Peter Laloli
are running for Papanui and
Halswell – where they do not live
– and Tane Apanui will contest
Hornby.
In the 2013 elections, of the
54 candidates going for council
seats, nine did not live in the
ward they were running in.
As part of the city council’s
representation review, the current
seven wards will increase to 16 after
October’s local body elections.
Each ward will have one councillor
represent it.
Cr Gough said the review
stymied democracy and may
have put off new candidates,
because many would have to go
up against incumbent councillors.
Deon Swiggs:
Lives in
Linwood,
running for
Central
“I’m literally
across the road from the
Central Ward on St Asaph
St. One side is Linwood and
the other side is Central.
With rebuild Christchurch,
that’s where the focus of
the rebuild and recovery
is going to be. There is so
much future focus on the
area, and that’s where I want
to be.”
Vicki Tahau-
Paton: Lives
in Banks
Peninsula,
running for
Central
“I think if I was a candidate
that lived in one of these
suburbs, you’d be really
fighting for it, but I have
neutrality not living in
Central. So I can listen and
understand where everyone
is coming from. I sell real
estate for a living, so I have
a good understanding of all
the suburbs.”
Jo Kane: Lives in
the Waimakariri
district, running
for Coastal
“I could live on the
moon and still see
the totally inadequate and woeful
basic level of rate-delivered
services to the whole coastal
area, including Parklands. I have
skills and experience that will
get this work done in an area
that I used to live in, and my
family live in. If elected, I will
open an office so that ratepayers
and residents can always come
directly to me and I will reside
in the area.”
Dean Lester:
Lives in Burwood,
running for
Coastal
“I do my living in
the Coastal Ward,
enjoying Bottle Lake Forest,
going to the beach and enjoying
and supporting places like
BearLion. I just happen to live
on the side of Travis Wetland.
The Coastal Ward needs to have
a good advocate that is passionate
about the key things that are
part of that ward.”

do the candidates live?
Paul Lonsdale:
Lives in
Fendalton,
running for
Heathcote
“I have purchased a
section in Mt Pleasant and am
in the early stages of planning
our new home. However, I am
one of the unfortunate ones still
working through earthquake
insurance issues. As the current
sitting councillor, I have done
a considerable amount of work
in this area over the last three
years. I have an intimate understanding
of all the local issues.”
Peter Laloli:
Lives in
Riccarton,
running for
Halswell
“Halswell’s a new
ward and it’s got rapid growth.
I’ve been on the community
board the last 15 years and I
think the ward needs someone
with experience. That had a part
in it [going up against Vicki
Buck in Riccarton]. She was
going to be hard to challenge –
there was an opportunity out in
Halswell and I’ve been representing
that area for 15 years.”
Mike Davidson:
Lives in Central,
running for
Papanui
“I did not move from
the Papanui Ward,
the ward moved from me due to
the representation review. My
decision to stand as a independent
candidate in Papanui was
because of the work I have done
in this ward as the chairman of
the community board and the
over 20 years I have spent living
locally. This is the ward I know,
have represented and want to keep
working in.”
Rod S Cameron:
Lives in Cashmere,
running for
Harewood
“I don’t think I
naturally fit in anywhere,
I’m currently living in St
Martins, but I own a property in
St Albans. I looked at the future of
the city and thought what does it
need? I spoke to a couple of current
councillors I know quite well
and they asked if I would consider
Harewood. I looked at what
Harewood meant for the city and
it included the airport, which I’m
quite passionate about.”
Faimeh
Burke: Lives
in Fendalton,
running for
Harewood
“Most areas of the
new Harewood Ward used to be
part of the Fendalton-Waimairi
Ward, which I have represented as
a community board member for
the last 12 years. With the boundary
changes, my earthquakedamaged
house in Merivale falls
outside the new Harewood Ward.
However, the rebuild of it which
has just been completed, would
provide me opportunities for
relocating within the new ward’s
boundaries.”
Tane Apanui: Lives
in Coastal, running
for Hornby
“I grew up in Hornby, I
spent my teenage years
there, played my sport
there and started off my working
life there. My experience is in infrastructure
and transport. Hornby
is the gateway of the south-west,
so I’ve got more to offer there than
in the suburb I am living, which is
South New Brighton.”
Rod D Cameron:
Lives in
Cashmere,
running for
Harewood
“Well the
Harewood Ward is new and
there’s no current councillor
that’s standing, so the voters
need a bit of experience, and I’ve
had two previous terms on the
Hagley-Ferrymead Community
Board. I did my research and in
Cashmere people were pretty
happy with Tim Scandrett so I
didn’t want to foul in his patch.
I used to live in Harewood and
people I knew asked me to
stand there. Why would I want
to stand against Tim when I
had people screaming for me to
stand in Harewood?”
Raf Manji: Lives
in Fendalton,
running for
Waimairi
“I chose Waimairi
because I have
been closely involved in the
District Plan issues in that area.
I am not a fan of the new ward
system for councillors but that’s
what we have for now.”
Phil Clearwater:
Lives in
Cashmere,
running for
Spreydon
“My roots have
always been in the Spreydon
area where I raised my family,
established strong connections
with local community groups
and I still attend my church in
Addington. I now live in lower
Cashmere, just over 1km from
the Spreydon Ward boundary
and have represented Spreydon
residents on the Spreydon-
Heathcote Community Board
loyally for over 20 years.”
Anthony Rimell:
Lives in Central,
running for
Waimairi
“I’m standing in
Waimairi because
that’s where I grew up, got married
and first had my family. It’s
an area I’ve had a life long association
with. We moved away
when we bought our first home,
which was in an area more affordable
at the time. I could have
chosen to stand elsewhere, but
this is an area I love, and really
want to represent.”

Council does
U-turn on
Victoria St plan
• By Bridget Rutherford
A REVISED plan to retain
vehicle access on Victoria St has
jumped its first hurdle, in spite
of a petition pushing for the
original plan to make the area
car-free.
On Tuesday, the Hagley-
Ferrymead Community Board
approved a watered-down
version of the city council’s plan
to transform the street into an
“inner-city destination area”.
However, a petition organised
by climate change group,
Generation Zero, calling for the
original plan to be implemented,
has gained more than 720
signatures.
In May, the city council
announced plans to transform
the street as part of its Accessible
City chapter of the Christchurch
Central Recovery Plan to make it
pedestrian friendly.
It involved closing the street
to vehicles, with the exception
of buses and bicycles, from
Christchurch Casino to the clock
tower, and removing 50 car
parks. Shop owners in the area
opposed the plan because they
said it would kill their business.
After public consultation,
the city council proposed the
watered-down version, which
would see vehicle access retained,
and only 31 car parks removed.
The plan is scheduled to be
discussed at the Infrastructure,
Transport and Environment
Committee meeting next
Thursday. It would then make
a recommendation to the city
council.
Generation Zero
representatives would speak
at the committee meeting and
present their petition.
Hagley-Ferrymead
Community Board chairwoman
Sara Templeton said the board
had a “long, robust” discussion
before recommending the new
plan.
However, she said there were
concerns the opportunity to
make a pedestrian-friendly street
could be lost.
Robbery arrests after
armed police swoop
• By Andrew King
TWO 18-YEAR-OLDS have
been arrested in connection
with an armed robbery of a
dairy on Monday.
Properties on Butterfield
Ave, Linwood, and Barton Ave,
Woolston, were targeted by police
yesterday. They were looking
for the suspects who robbed the
Kirk Rd Dairy, Templeton, with
a pistol and metal bar at about
noon.
Reuben Banks, of Linwood,
was arrested and appeared in
court yesterday charged with
aggravated robbery. He was remanded
in custody without plea
until September 22.
Another man arrested at a different
address will appear today
also charged with aggravated
robbery.
Three disguised offenders entered
the dairy. One “manhandled”
the employee from behind
the counter while the other two
targeted cash and cigarettes.
Detective Senior Sergeant Michael
Ford confirmed the search
warrants were in relation to the
Kirk Rd armed robbery.
He said reports of shots being
fired during the Linwood warrant
were false, but a diversion
device was used when entering
the address in Butterfield Ave.
A witness, who did not want
to be named, said the Armed
Offenders Squad used what
looked like a “flash-bang”
grenade before entering the
property.
The Kirk Rd Dairy is just the
latest in a long line of armed
robberies to plague the city in
recent months.
On August 29, a man entered
the Curletts Rd Dairy brandishing
a hatchet and demanding
money and cigarettes around
1pm. It is alleged the same offender
then robbed the Campus
Corner Dairy on Ilam Rd
at about 3pm with the same
hatchet.
On August 25, three men, one
armed with a pistol, entered the
Kendal Food Centre. Two of the
men took the owner into a back
room and punched him, while
the third took cigarettes and
searched for cash.
On August 15, two bars were
targeted by masked men.
The Embankment Tavern on
Ferry Rd and O’Sheas Public
House on Marshland Rd were
robbed by offenders with a
firearm.
They fled empty handed from
the Embankment but allegedly
stole more than $20,000 from
O’Sheas.
On August 9, three balaclavaclad
men entered 24/7 Buns
Bakery, Waltham, armed with a
rifle, a hammer and a bat. One
man threatened staff with the
rifle while another with a hammer
tried to open the till.

Lincoln University: ‘Dead’ in a year
• By Shelley Robinson
LINCOLN University’s vicechancellor
Professor Robin
Pollard has refused to elaborate
on why he reportedly said the
university would be “dead” in a
year.
On August 8,
Prof Pollard (left)
told staff at a
meeting “we have
one year to get to
surplus or we are
dead”.
The comment
was raised in Parliament by NZ
First MP Tracey Martin last
month.
Ms Martin asked Tertiary
Education, Skills and Employment
acting minister Louise
Upston whether she was aware
Mr Pollard had made the “dead”
in a year comment to staff.
The university has been under
dire financial pressure, after a
recorded $6 million loss in the
last financial year.
It is looking to slash “unpopular
courses’’ in a bid to save
millions.
In response to Ms Martin, Ms
Upston said there were challenges
in “returning to profitability”
for the university.
Prof Pollard did not deny he
made the comment but said it
“was taken out of context”.
He refused to clarify what he
meant and how it had been taken
out of context. He would only
say it was made “in the context
of the university’s need for transformation”.
“Financial viability is important
but any suggestion that
Lincoln University only has a
year to achieve viability is superficial
and taken out of context,”
he said.
Prof Pollard said he wanted
the university to “flourish well
into the future” and to make it
financially viable, costs had to be
reduced and revenue increased.
There have been a series of

high-profile resignations, with
five deputy vice-chancellors
resigning this year.
Prof Pollard’s lack of
communication has been
slammed by the Tertiary
Education Union.
TEU organiser Cindy Doull
said it had sent six letters to
Mr Pollard asking for more
information on the definition
of an “unpopular course”, how
it would return to surplus and
impact on staff.
He has not replied to any of
the letters.
“He just ignores them. We feel
like we are talking to ourselves.
He just doesn’t respond,” she
said.
Ms Doull said it would be
upsetting to staff to hear the
comment without Prof Pollard
elaborating further.
“It is a nightmare for people
with so much uncertainty about
what is going on. We have seen
a significant increase in anxiety
levels and depressive illnesses
. . . this has been four years of
uncertainty on top of the earthquakes,”
she said.
•Yesterday, the university
announced that it has received
an $11 million partial insurance
settlement from Vero, for damage
caused by the September 4,
2010, earthquake.
The settlement covered 140

campus.

can begin initiating its

refurbishments or creating new
buildings, said Prof Pollard.

David Bain’s Givealittle
donations dry up
• By Andrew King
A GIVEALITTLE page to
raise $1m for David Bain is
floundering.
The page,
started in January
by Wellington
drug and alcohol
counsellor
Roger Brooking,
initially wanted
to raise $1m for Mr Bain.
“My expectations at the
start were a bit high, as
in the past opinion polls

people said he should have
got compensation,” he said.
The donations are currently
sitting at $11,730.

Government not paid Mr
Bain $925,000 in compensation.
In May 1995, Mr Bain

declared there had been a

Getting to the root of Canterbury
By the time an average
Canterbury child turns
five, they will have
had at least one tooth
decayed, extracted
or filled. Gabrielle
Stuart looked into the
problem, and the work
local groups are doing
to turn it around
FOUR-YEAR-OLD Leah
Gibbons is proud of her sparkly
white teeth.
Some of her peers are not so
lucky.
One in every three children in
Christchurch will have problems
with their teeth before they start
school – a filling needed, or even
rotten teeth removed.
In the worst cases local dentists
have seen, pre-schoolers
have had to have all their teeth
removed.
Some pre-schoolers are already
so self-conscious about their
teeth, they are afraid to smile.
Fizzy and sugary drinks – now
often cheaper than buying water
– take a share of the blame, as
do a lack of regular brushing

or missed dental appointments
which could have caught problems
early.
But missing appointments did
not mean someone was a bad
parent, CDHB community and
public health advisory committee
member Rochelle Faimalo
said.
“A lot of the hubs are open
during school hours, which
makes it very hard for working
parents,” she said.
As a busy parent, it was easy to
lose track of when children were
due for check-ups, she said.
Part of the problem is families
falling through the cracks in the
dental system.
Pre-schoolers are supposed to
have free dental check-ups each
year, when they are two, three
and four, and then when they
start school.
BY THE NUMBERS:
•One in every three
Canterbury children will
have problems with their
teeth, from cavities to
extractions, by the time
they start school
•The average Canterbury
pre-schooler will have
problems with one tooth,
a Māori child two teeth,
and a Pasifika child three
•One in every six preschoolers
had their dental
enrolments cancelled
because their family
could not be contacted –
1184 children in total.
•The CDHB aims to
have 95 per cent of
preschoolers enrolled in
dental services. Last year
just 61 per cent were, a
drop from 69 per cent in
2014
Under the current system,
families are called three times
within the space of a month to
remind them of a check-up.
But if they don’t respond or
can’t be reached within that
time, they are cut from the
system.

Then unless the family approaches
a dentist, the child may
completely miss out on check-ups
until they start school.
In Canterbury, one in every
six pre-schoolers had their enrolment
in the programme
cancelled.
That was even worse for Māori
or Pasifika children.
One in every four pre-schoolers
who identified as Māori had their
enrolment cancelled, and almost
half of Pasifika children.
CDHB health board member
Jo Kane said the numbers showed
the system had been “an epic fail
in many areas”.
“This model has been around
for a long time, and I think it is
time now to ask has it made a difference?”
she said.
The children’s enrolments are
being cancelled even though
other departments within the
CDHB often have up-to-date
contact information for those
families.
Planning and funding project
specialist Bridget Lester said
they were not allowed to share it
between departments, because of
privacy laws.

Oral health concerns for
Maori and Pasifika children
IF THE dental problems for
the average child are bad, the
problem for Māori and Pasifika
children are dire.
The average Māori five-yearold
will have had problems

average Pasifika child three.
That compares with one
tooth, on average, for children

Motel complex
planned near
Northlands
• By Bridget Rutherford
TWO EMPTY sections, 200m from
Northlands Shopping Centre, could
be turned into motels.
Victor Chan has applied to the city
council for resource to consent to
build a 14-unit motel complex at 134
and 136 Main North Rd, including a
manager’s residence.
The complex would be made up of
two buildings. The first double-storey
building would have the manager’s
residence and garage, a reception
and three units, while the first floor
would have a further four units.
The second building would have
four units on the ground floor level
and three on the first floor, with a
deck. It would have 16 car parks, and
two cycle parks.
Previous owners had gained
resource consent for a similar motel
development in 2006. However, it
expired.
Mr Chan bought the two sites in
November. A resource management
act hearings panel will be held on
September 29 so Commissioner David
Mountford can decide whether to
grant the consent.
One of the sites had previously
housed a dairy, while the other had
a residential home on it. Both buildings
were demolished in 2012.

New use for old
council chambers
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE OLD Municipal Chambers
could be used for offices or a
public educational facility once
its repairs are finished.
City council head of vertical
capital delivery and professional
services Liam Nolan said the
project team was considering
how the building might accommodate
future uses.
Those options included
possibly returning the building
to city council offices and
conference facilities, public educational
functions or tenanted
offices, he said.
“Discussions are at an
early stage, but will consider the
building’s significant heritage
value.”
The category one heritage
building, on the corner of Oxford
Tce and Worcester Boulevard,
was badly damaged in the
September 2010 and February
2011 earthquakes.
In October, $10m was
re-allocated to the building,
also known as Our City –
Otautahi, which allowed further

investigation work on how to
restore it.
Mr Nolan said currently a
number of options had been
considered and one had been
developed to a feasibility study.
The project team has been
asked to pursue further options
to secure a more “cost effective”
solution before a comparison
could be made and possibly
adopted, he said.
Parts of the building need to
be reconstructed, while other elements
need additional concrete
and steel work.
A project timeline is yet to be
determined, as was the cost, Mr
Nolan said.
The building was the first
Queen Anne Arts and Craft
style building in the country,
and the last one left in Christchurch.
Since 1887, it has housed the
Municipal Council, Canterbury
Chamber of Commerce, Canterbury
Promotion Council and
tourist information centre, and

Drug addict tearful
during sentencing
• By Kurt Bayer
A DRUG addict who stole a car
from a Christchurch drugs rehab
centre sobbed in the dock as he
was jailed on his daughter’s first
birthday.
Travis James Baillie, 25, took
the car while living at Odyssey
House Trust, which provides
therapeutic support and education
to clients with drug and
alcohol addictions.
His lawyer told the district
court that Baillie went off the
rails after his support network
was broken when both of his
parents were sent to prison.
In May this year, he took off in
a Suzuki car owned by Odyssey
House.
Baillie went on to steal two
more cars before he was caught.
This week, as his young daughter
watched as he was jailed for 27
months, Judge Jane Farish asked
him: “How many more birthdays
are you going to spend like that?”
As Baillie wiped away tears,
she added: “If ever there was a
motivating factor, it’s her, for you
to be able to change.”
He pleaded guilty to three
charges of unlawfully taking
a motor vehicle, two counts of
driving while disqualified, theft
of some petrol, and breach of his
sentence of home detention by
absconding from Odyssey House.
The court heard that Baillie
had come from a “very disadvantaged”
background.
He has an extensive Youth
Court history and has been
grappling with a chronic methamphetamine
problem.
Earlier this year, a report from
Odyssey House stated, however,
that Baillie had been making
“significant progress”.
But defence counsel David
Goldwater said the jailing of his
parents, along with the imposition
of a protection order which
prevented him from seeing his
child, had “messed with his
head”.
He then made the regretful
decision to flee the programme in
the stolen car.
Goldwater said Baillie was
“disappointed in himself” and
had apologised for the harm
caused to his victims.
Judge Farish jailed Baillie for
27 months, disqualified him
from driving until November
2017, and told him that he could
choose to live a life different from
his parents. NZ Herald

AFTER A lull in activity
over the past two years,
investors are showing
growing interest in
bare land suitable for
commercial and residential
developments within the
area surrounded by the
city’s four avenues.
Courtney Doig, an
investment sales specialist
with Colliers International
in Christchurch, says
there was a flurry of land
sales after the earthquakes
and subsequently activity
plateaued with fewer sales
– until this year.
“Buyers are motivated
by a variety of different
reasons – some are taking
the opportunity to land
bank while others have
specific projects in mind.
There’s no doubt that, as
the CBD core continues
to take shape, investors
have increased confidence
in land within the four
avenues.
“For instance, the site of
the former NZ Institute of
Management head office
on the corner of Kilmore
and Madras Sts was recently
sold at auction.
The 2813 sq m bare land
fetched $2,225,000 with
two bidders vying for the
property.”
Another land site of
8842 sq m adjoining
McLeans Mansion at 888
Colombo St has changed
hands for $5.3 million and
is earmarked in the long
term for residential townhouses.
A neighbouring
smaller parcel of 427 sq m
was subsequently sold at
auction for $470,000.
Paul Vining, Colliers’
investment sales specialist,
says the inner-city sites are
proving popular because
of the increase in city
facilities that makes it possible
for investors to have a
clearer idea of the best use
for land on offer.
“The success of bare
land sales within the four
avenues is likely to fuel
interest in two other sites
Colliers is taking to auction
on September 22,” Mr
Vining says.
These are 12-16 Eaton Pl,
behind Lone Star off Manchester
St, with the parcel
in four titles covering 1688
sq m; and 404 Barbadoes
St where 2200 sq m of
vacant land was previously
occupied by Unit 6
of 1980s-designed Amuri
Park office complex.

Record passengers for airport
CHRISTCHURCH Airport set
an all-time record of 6.3 million
passengers for financial year
through servicing the South
Island tourism market.
In doing so it pumped more
than $180 million in new GDP
into the South Island and generated
a record $31 million in
dividends for shareholders.
“Christchurch remains the
South Island gateway for international
visitors. We’ve seen very
pleasing progress this year, with
increasing international airline
capacity and high airline load
factors”, said
airport company
chairman David
Mackenzie (left).
Airline seat
availability
grew seven per
cent during the
year to 7.9 million, with several
new services starting midway
through the year. International
passengers using the
transtasman network grew seven
per cent and long-haul grew 18
per cent. The airport handled
29,000 tonnes of international air
freight, up four per cent on the
previous year.

the end of October.
Emirates will be the first airline to offer
regular scheduled A380 services to and from
Christchurch with the upgrade of the current
daily Christchurch service from Boeing 777-
300ERs.
The new service will mean the removal of the
en-route stop in Bangkok which will enable passengers
to travel all the way between Christchurch
and Dubai, with just one stop in Sydney.
The surge in capacity and the arrival of new
airlines is helping fuel a price war to and from
New Zealand.
The new Christchurch-Dubai service will cut
the journey time to Dubai and Europe by about
two hours in each direction.
Emirates is the biggest customer for the A380
and the only airline offering year-round scheduled
A380 services to and from New Zealand.
lift revenues, grow shareholder
value, increase dividends, and
balance risk associated with
what can be a dynamic aviation

During the financial year the
airport company completed and
opened Spitfire Square, its new
convenience retail complex, and
opened Mustang Park, its new
tourism transport hub. It currently
has $168 million of new
investment property development
under way, which will begin
generating additional income
over the next two years.
This includes the South Island

Singapore Airlines has used A380s on seasonal
services.
The A380s on New Zealand routes have 14
first-class suites, 76 individual compartments in
business and 399 seats in economy.
This will add hundreds more seats a week with
the Boeing 777-300 on the Christchurch route

Christchurch Airport due to

Said Mr Mackenzie: “The
board is encouraged by the
improving overall financial
performance of the business and
on-going growth in returns to
shareholders.”
The business has grown,
developed strategically and built
greater resilience in recent years,
plus the outlook is positive – all
of which gave the board confidence
to lift on-going dividend
payouts to 90 per cent.
Airport chief executive Malcolm
Johns expects continued
growth in passenger numbers in
the next year, to be in a range of
6.6-6.7 million with transtasman
airline capacity forecast to increase
by around 15 per cent and
international long-haul capacity
by around 20 per cent
“We have also seen domestic
airline capacity reach record
levels. Nor has it ever been more
connected to the big airport hubs
in Australia and Asia as it is right
now.
“Our focus over the past two
years has been to build strategic
partnerships that increase our
connectivity to the big airport
hubs – Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne,
Auckland, Singapore,
Guangzhou, Taipei, Seoul and
Dubai – which collectively
handle more than 200 million
passengers a year.”

Time to learn lessons from the quakes
THIS PAST Sunday was
the sixth anniversary of the
September 4 earthquake.
Like most Cantabrians, the
memories of that first morning
are still pretty raw. I remember
crouching under the doorway
wondering if the shaking was
ever going to stop. I remember
driving down totally empty
streets, and being utterly
shocked at what had happened
to our city.
Looking back, it really is
incredible what we all went
through. Thousands of aftershocks,
multiple major quakes,
We said:
A $9000 barbecue set in
a shipping container and
picnic tables have been installed
near New Brighton’s
whale paddling pool. The
new tables and barbecue
can be found north of the
New Brighton Library.
You said:
Rachel Ferguson - Well
done Jason Mill and all the other
positive people out there trying
to make a difference in the community.
This looks awesome! If
all the negative people commenting
got off their butts and tried to
do something positive, this world
would be amazing.
Lisa Haua - I think there will
be lots of frustration from people
waiting to use it while its occupied
as there’s only one. Cool
idea but more needed.
Megan Woods
one of the largest insurance
events in world history. An
enormous amount of disruption
to people’s lives.
But six years on, it’s clear that
we couldn’t have known that first
morning what was still coming,
how long the disruption was
going to last or how lasting the
impacts of the more than 10,000
I AM very proud of this Government’s
record on education, particularly
here in Christchurch,
where we’ve committed over $1
billion to re-developing schools
since the earthquakes.
Since coming to Government
we have increased the education
budget by 35 per cent.
We have more than doubled
spending on early childhood
education.
And we have increased spending
on special education learning
support by 30 per cent.
Between the 2010 and 2015
school years, CPI inflation
increased by 9.6 per cent. The
cumulative increase in the
education Operations Grant over
this period was over 15 per cent.
On top of the $1.35 billion
schools receive now in operational
grant funding, we are
investing $43 million over four
years to state and state-integrated
schools to support around
133,000 students from long-term
welfare-dependent families.
We are targeting the money to
these students because we know
they are at risk of educational
under-achievement.
We want to get the right resources
to the rights kids at the
right time – where it will make
the greatest difference, over and
earthquakes would be.
One thing that I hear constantly
from people, especially
around anniversaries like this,
is the desire that we learn the
lessons of what has gone wrong
with this recovery, so that we can
do better in future as a country.
With the spectre of the Southern
Alpine Fault still hanging
above the base funding.
Schools will continue to receive
$1.35 billion in operational
funding but this year there will
not be a general increase across
the board to that funding.
Budget 2016 includes the
equivalent of a 1 per cent increase
in schools’ operational
grants ($43 million over four
years) which will be targeted, as
opposed to universally allocated.
Gerry Brownlee
over us (and Wellington), we’d
be fools to think this is the last
major earthquake or natural
disaster that will happen in New
Zealand. Just last week, we saw a
major quake on the East Coast of
the North Island.
For me, there are some obvious
lessons – more funding and
support should have been made
available for mental health, especially
for young people and children
impacted by the quakes. I
think, too, the Government’s top
down, heavy-handed approach
to decision making became less
useful as time went on.
And then there is EQC. How
much of the disruption to people’s
lives over the last six years
can be put down to the mess
at EQC? In this case, I think a
full, independent inquiry is still
needed.
These lessons need to be
learned not just for the next disaster,
but for how we move forward
here in Christchurch over
the next few years. My strong
hope is we will have seen much
more progress by the time we
reach the seventh anniversary.
Megan Woods is Labour’s
Canterbury spokeswoman
Targeted education funding for better outcomes
The funding will support
students aged five to 18, who
have lived in benefit dependant
households for 75 per cent of
either the first five years of their
life, or for the last five years.
The additional targeted funding
will result in schools receiving
about $92 extra for every
student from long-term welfare
dependent families. If the funding
had been allocated universally,
it would have resulted in
schools receiving $16 for every
student.
Only a very small number of
schools are receiving no increase.
Some schools – those with significant
number of students from
disadvantaged backgrounds –
are receiving considerably more.
Lower decile schools are generally
benefiting more from the
targeted increase. This is to be
expected because these schools
have more of their students in
the target group

Ethical business
Brianne West is on a
mission to stop the
unnecessary use
of plastic bottles
through her business,
Ethique. She spoke
to Bridget Rutherford
about having Britney
Spears and Ashton
Kutcher endorse her
products, coming up
with concoctions in
her kitchen and being
one of the most ethical
businesses in the
country
So can you tell me a
bit about your brand,
Ethique?
We are the first and only
company in the world
producing 100 per cent
plastic-free body care, hair
care and face care products.
We are four-yearsold
in October, it’s going
really well. We manufacture
everything, from
shampoo, conditioner to
face care, like cleanser and
moisturisers. Our most
unusual product is a solid
self-tanning bar. It’s sort of
the first in the world that is
solid. Basically the aim of
Ethique is to have everything
replaced by a solid
product.
Where did the idea
come from?
Well, 50 million bottles
in New Zealand are
thrown away every year
just from shampoo and
conditioner, and we only
have a population of four
million. And I just thought
that was crazy. I really
wanted to do something
that had environmental
impact. I guess I got brave
enough to give it a go.
And you have a science
background don’t you?
I’ve just got a Bachelor
of Science degree from
POPULAR: Brianne West’s brand Ethique has been
endorsed online by celebrities such as Britney
Spears and Ashton Kutcher. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Canterbury University. I
did a bit of chemistry and
statistics, so that helped.
The jury is out as to
whether I go back and do
a masters degree. I would
like to do a PhD.
So that must have
helped with Ethique?
Yes, I was half-way
through my second year of
university when I started
it. I studied part-time for
a while because I was running
a business.
How do you make your
products in solid blocks?
Basically I taught myself
what the ingredients do,
why they are there and
what they contribute, and
I went that way. It was a
matter of learning about
the base ingredient and
figuring out where they
fit in.
For example the self-tanning
bar was an unusual
product, so it took about
12 months of formulating
before we even did any
testing.
ETHICAL: Ethique products come in biodegradable
wrapping, in a solid block like soap

ditches plastic
Great styles, colours, fits & service
That product was
released last summer. Everything
is solid, it doesn’t
contain any water, they
don’t have a lot of preservatives,
collating agents or
fillers. For our shampoos,
we use ingredients similar
to Trilogy shampoo. It is
salon quality shampoo.
So you’ve just reached a
milestone where you have
saved 100,000 bottles –
how does it feel?
Yes, we reached that on
Friday. That was really
exciting. Our goal is to get
to one million. I didn’t really
stop to think about it, I
was just thinking about the
next 100,000 and then the
next 100,000.
And do you make all
the products yourself
from your lab?
My mum actually manufactures
the bulk of them,
she works in our lab. I do
the formulation. I create
stuff and come up with the
new products.
And you started off
making concoctions in
your kitchen?
Yeah, in my kitchen in
my flat. There was shampoo
everywhere in my
kitchen when we moved
out.
Did you grow up in
Christchurch?
No, I grew up in Queenstown.
What brought you to
Christchurch?
University, and a boy
actually. But the boy’s no
longer in the picture.
I read on your website
you started a pet detective
agency when you
were little. What’s that all
about?
Yes. I don’t remember
a lot about it, but I do
remember I put up posters
that said if you wanted
your lost animal found we
would do it. We did actually
find a cat. I would have
been about six or seven.
Speaking of animals,
I know Ethique does
not test its products on
animals, how do you test
them?
On people. We have
about 10,000 people signed
up on our database for
product testing. We get
people to fill out forms. So
we are testing deodorant
at the moment, so we’re
looking for really active
people and we select them
from that.
How long does it take
to come up with a new
product?
It depends. If it’s a
product we’ve already got
a similar product to, then
it can be quite quick. But it
can take up to 12 months.
And I hear Britney
Spears quite likes your
products! How does that
feel?
Yeah, that was kind
of cool – and Ashton
Kutcher. He made a video
with our products in it.
They both shared it on
Facebook. We were in The
Huffington Post so I guess
they got it from there. The
day I heard about Britney
Spears, we listened to her
for the rest of the day.
Have you found you
have a lot more interest in
your products since then?
Yes, we’ve been getting
the bulk of orders
from America from these
celebrity endorsements. It’s
usually New Zealand and
Australia that we get orders
from, but it’s becoming
bigger in America now.
And when you’re not
working, what do you like
doing? Do you have any
hobbies?
This sounds really
lame, but I don’t have any
because I don’t make any
time. That really is my life.
But I do want to start playing
tennis again.
And you mentioned
your mum lives here,
what about the rest of
your family?
My dad’s here too, but
all my other family live in
England. We don’t really
go visit because it’s such
a long flight, and I’m terrified
of flying. Although
I just came back from
Hawaii for work. I like to
travel; I just don’t like to
fly.
And what are your
plans for Ethique? Do you
hope to grow the business
more?
I want it to be a global
organisation. A bar in
every shower is a bit of a
mantra for us.
And finally, Ethique is
a certified B Corp isn’t it?
Can you tell me what that
entails?
We were certified last
year. It’s basically the
highest certification for
businesses who want to
do more than just make a
profit. It has to be about
employee and customer
well-being, transparency
and all of that sort of stuff.
You have to do a test and
have a Skype interview. At
the end of that, you get a
score out of 200, and you
have to score 80. Whereas
the typical business is
at 40, we got 106, so the
highest in New Zealand.
But there are only about
six or seven at the moment.
But it’s pretty cool.

Helping Maddie
Funds build for kidney transplant
• By Caitlin Miles
MORE THAN 180 people
donned their glad rags in
support of St Margaret’s College
student Maddie Collins at the
weekend.
A fundraising ball was held at
Bangor Homestead in Darfield
on Saturday night to help fundraise
money for Maddie’s kidney
transplant.
More than $350,000 needs to
be raised in order to get Maddie
to the United States for the
transplant.
Charli Francis, who also goes
to St Margaret’s College with
Maddie, decided to organise
the ball for Maddie to help with
fundraising.
Maddie’s mum Sarah Collins
said she was “blown away” by
everyone who went and by the
ball itself.
“It was just really amazing
to see so many people there for
Maddie,” Mrs Collins said.
Maddie wore a ball dress and
had her hair and make-up done
for the evening.
“Just for the night, we got to
enjoy it and focus on Maddie.
She had a great time,” Mrs Collins
said.
She said the Givealittle page
was slowly collecting more money
and there were fundraisers
popping up around the country.
A nationwide school muftiday
will be held on September
16 as another fundraising
campaign.
So far Maddie’s givealittle
page has raised $41,563.20
towards the procedure.

Lavender: Fragrant
floral beauty
Do you have a
long-standing
love affair with
one of the world’s
most recognised
plants? Rachel
Vogan tells you
how to get the best
out of lavender
EASILY ONE of the
most recognisable
plants, lavender is a goto
perennial shrub for
many. The fragrance is
renowned for its relaxing
properties, the flowers
last for days when picked
and it is a good cut-flower
option for drying, too.
With a history that
dates back centuries, it
is a plant that has stood
the test of time. Hailing
from the Mediterranean,
where summers are hot
and winters are dry,
lavender is at its best in
a position that matches
its heritage; full sun with
excellent drainage. That
doesn’t mean it doesn’t
need any water, it certainly
does, especially for the
first few months after
transplanting out into
the garden or planters.
BEE FRIENDLY
Bees and butterflies love
lavender as much as we
do. Bees will gorge on the
flowers from sunup to
sundown, often hanging
mid-air on a flower, almost
drunk-like after their fill,
resting for a few hours
only to suck some more
nectar once they wake
up again. Be mindful
of bees when planting
masses of lavender

scene, and excellent for hedging.
around outdoor living
areas. In places where
children or people will be
frequenting, the bees may
not always be as welcome.
FOUR MAIN TYPES
OF LAVENDER
ARE GROWN
English lavender –
Lavandula angustifolia
This neat mound-forming
plant flowers once in late
spring and covers itself
in pungent dark purple,
blue, pink or white flower
spikes. It is an ideal low
hedge plant, for a sunny,
hot dry position in the
garden. Prune after
flowering in summer or
autumn. It is this type
of lavender that is often
used in potpourri and
for oil production.

GARDENING GUIDE
Fuchsias
If you are looking for a wonderful plant
to brighten up dark, gloomy parts of the
garden then a fuchsia should be high on
your list. This plant genus consists of about
100 species, with thousands of hybrids and
cultivars. They come in a variety of forms,
most with bicoloured ballerina flowers
ranging from red, white, pink and purple.
Although generally winter dormant, fuchsias
are frost tender with delicate new spring
growth which needs protection against frost
burn. As well as needing protection from
frost, the new growth is also wind sensitive,
so staking the plant when needed, and
placement in an area protected from high
winds is ideal. Fuchsias are a perennial which
like to grow in full or semi-shade, but they can
withstand morning sun, and prefer moist, welldrained
soil. Fuchsias are prolific flowering
plants, making it a good idea to feed them a
slow release fertiliser such as Oderings Total
Replenish, as they start to form buds, but be
careful when fertilising as too much or too
strong a fertiliser can burn them. Fuchsias
are also relatively pest free, with the
occasional issue of whitefly, aphids, rust or
mildew, but with a sensible spray program
these are easily managed.
Fuchsias are one of the few plants that
provide large, bright flowers in shade. They
are great for growing in tubs or the garden as
they come in a good height range, from 30cm
to 1m. There are also many with a cascading

habit, which are great for baskets. Fuchsias
are also a great plant to use if you want to
standardise, because they are fast and easily
grown. When creating your own standard,
pick a plant or cutting which has not had the
top bud nipped out. Plant the fuchsia and
insert a 1.2m bamboo cane close to the stem
and loosely attach the cutting to the cane.
As your cutting grows keep removing the
lateral branches and continue to secure the
fuchsias stem to the cane. When your plant
has reached the height of the cane, nip out
the top bud, this will prevent it growing any
higher and will encourage the plant to branch
out, creating a head. Keep nipping out the end
buds of these branches until it forms a neat,
balanced umbrella.
Whether you want a garden specimen, a pot
plant, a hanging basket centerpiece or to
standardise your own, these shade loving,
dancing ladies will impress you with their
delightful beauty and stunning colours.

French lavender – L. dentata
This type can almost flower
all year round. With a large
open habit, the pale purpleblue
flowers sit above the
serrated, soft grey-green
leaves. Reaching about 1m by
1m with a loose habit, it is a
good idea to trim this variety
once a year in autumn to help
the plant maintain a compact
growth habit. This variety
dries particularly well as it
has a longer stem to pick.
Italian lavender – L. stoechas
The most popular lavender,
if sales at garden centres
are to go by, L. stoechas – or
winged lavender – has brightly
coloured ears (or wings) on
the end of each stem. The
plants often flower twice or
even three times within a
season if trimmed regularly.
Flower colours vary from
intense purples and blues
to shades of pink, mauve,
dusty grey and white.
Australian lavender – L.
pinnata ‘Sidonie’
A unique hybrid, which
originated in Australia, it
features the same rich, dark
purple-blue flowers of other
lavenders, but with little or no
foliage fragrance. This midsized
shrub looks the part
and is a lovely choice as a
filler shrub in a sunny
border. It is not as tolerant
to frost as the others,
so best suited to warm,
sheltered coastal gardens.
PICK OF THE BUNCH
Plant breeders worldwide
are endeavouring to come
up with better strains of
lavender. Some become new
favourites, others disappear.
NEW ‘Sweet Romance’
This sturdy little number
has all the attributes of other
English lavenders, but where it
differs is in its ability to flower
on very young growth, which
means you do not have to
wait a season or two to enjoy
a flurry of blooms. Its intense
deep blue-purple flower spikes
sit nicely above the solid silvergrey
domes of foliage from late
spring well into autumn. The
heady perfume simply adds to
this plant’s appeal. This one is
an excellent low hedge option.
Planted en masse it will
add structure and charm to
driveways and garden borders.
It is a brilliant cut flower, too,
drying well and holding its
shape. It would be suitable for
container growing, but make
sure the pot is at least 10 litres
in capacity – that’s the size of
a kitchen bucket. Twice the
size would be better as it will
allow the plant to last longer.
‘The Princess’
When released a couple of
seasons ago, this superb,
compact Italian variety took
gardeners by surprise with
its sugarplum-pink frilly
flowers. Mine have survived
two droughts, neglect
and being backed over by
a trailer, so I can testify
wholeheartedly to its ability
to perk up each spring with
an array of flowers that seem
to appear continuously for
about six months. A superb
option for tubs and mass
plantings, and lovely if you
want a touch of pink in the
garden as opposed to purple.
‘Major’
With a name of such strong
connotations it is no surprise
this Italian lavender hybrid
sits at the top of the popularity
list. The dark rich-purple
flowers appear from midspring
and last through until
early summer. Then, if given
a light haircut, more flowers
will appear in autumn. A
top choice for those who
want a knee- to hip-height
lavender, it generally gets
a little too big for tubs and
planters, unless the container
has a wide diameter .

L . dentata
For those who like a pale shade
of violet, and are looking for a
softer look, the French lavender
is a wonderful option. This
plant is rarely without a flower.
However, it won’t cope with
the same amount of frost as
the Italian and English jobs,
so give it some protection.
DOS AND DON’TS
Lavender is one of those
wonderful shrubs that can
give so much joy for such
little care. However, there
are a few tips and tricks to
ensuring it maintains its shape
and vigour over the season.
Full sun is a must. Don’t
consider planting it in a shady
damp position, it needs full sun
and excellent drainage. It looks
spectacular planted in groups, en
masse in gardens, down banks
and in hedges. It blends well into
numerous garden styles, making
itself at home in both modern
and old-fashioned settings.
Lavender can live a happy
life in a container, but what is
critical to ensure its success is
to choose a large pot (ideally
twice the size of a kitchen
bucket). Even though it has a
shallow root system, it flowers
best in a larger pot. Don’t be
tempted to put a saucer under
the pot either, it hates wet
feet and the roots will rot and
FRIENDS: Roses and lavender are a striking combination.
die if left standing in water.
Regular haircuts are required
to keep plants fresh and tidy.
The trick is to cut back the
plants while they are actively
growing (not in winter), after
the main flurry of flowers in late
summer or autumn. You may
need to forgo a few flowers to
do this, but timing is critical.
Pruning at this time helps
maintain shape and promotes
a new set of flowers. Cutting
back lavender into old brittle
wood is a recipe for disaster.
It usually doesn’t regenerate
and, if cut back too hard, it
can cause the plant to die.
Lavender hates having its roots
disturbed or dug in and around.
Essentially, it is a little ticklish!
So, avoid planting anything
under lavender, not even bulbs.
In the wild it rarely competes
with anything else in the same
spot, so try not to upset it
when planting it at home.
ROSES AND LAVENDER
These two plants look fabulous
together, but essentially they
differ dramatically in what
they prefer in terms of ideal
growing conditions. Roses love
rich, moisture-retentive soil
and plenty of water through hot
periods, while lavender loathes
wet feet and moist foliage. Foodwise,
roses are greedy beggars
and lavenders thrive on the
smell of an oily rag. So, if you
wish to marry these two plants
together, you need to clearly
manage them differently. This
can be done by allowing plenty
of space between the roses
and the rows of lavenders, in
order to feed and water plants
independently of each other.
LESS IS MORE
To get the best look when
planting lavender, choose your
favourite and mass plant it.
This is better than planting a
number of different varieties.
Bold blocks of flowering
lavender are a sight to behold.
For hedges, space 30-50cm apart
(depending on the variety).
WHAT YOU
NEED
TO KNOW
When to plant
Warm and temperate
climates
All year round.
Cold climates Spring,
summer
and autumn.
When to prune
After flowering, every
season.
Plant spacing
Base spacing on how big the
plant
will grow, bearing in mind
this will depend on the
variety and its purpose, e.g.
hedges (20-30cm),
or rows.
Where to buy
Garden centres and
hardware stores both have a
good selection of lavender
plants.

Capture spring colour
• By Rachel Vogan
AS PARTS of the garden
leap into life, the heros in
my blooming world at the
moment are daffodils, tulips,
hyacinths and jonquils.
I would love to lead you to
believe that this is all through
careful planning and skill
that I have such a plethora
from which to choose, but
that’s not quite true.
The majority of bulbs I am
enjoying now were planted
by the previous owner. She
was a lady who would beaver
away in the garden from dawn
to dusk, constantly digging
In the vase
Team up these spring
beauties with strong,
bold foliage to fill out
the vase. Go-to ones
are bear’s breeches
(Acanthus mollis),
upright outdoor ferns,
variegated flax varieties
or some strong stems
of colourful willow
branches – even red
stems of dogwood.
Stems of camellias
blend in beautifully as
well, while branches of
berries,
like holly, add another
textural layer.
plants up and moving them
to another place in the garden
to enhance a vista or view.
And now, as I get to sit back
and reap what she sowed, I think
of her often. Yes, I have added my
twinkle to a few areas by planting
a few hundred bulbs, but the bulk
of what I am picking now have
been in situ for 20 years or more.
Did you know that daffodils
can last out of water for up
to eight hours before they
start to wilt and fade?
Even though I have known
this for years it always seems
mean to make them suffer, so I
place them in a bucket of fresh
water filled up to their necks.
Tulips, hyacinths and daffodil all
flower at the same time. If you
do not have room in the garden,
try them in pots.
Here we see a bunch of daffodil colours and varieties. The trick to keeping them alive once
picked is to change the water every few days and cut the bottom of the stems at the same time.
They can last up to a fortnight in a cooler room.
Add some bite to salads
RED SORREL is a, flavoursome, wonderful salad green
and vegetable.
The bright green leaves with contrasting dark maroon
stems and veins add colour and taste to salad mix or micro
mix blends.
It has the same sharp, tangy flavor as regular sorrel.
This red rascal adds flavour and depth to salads dishes,
in sandwiches or even as a pizza topping to give an
interesting combination of flavour.
Used either on its own with balsamic and parmesan,
or blended with other leafy greens, it’s a must for any
vegetable garden.
Red sorrel must surely be related to the common French
sorrel which can quickly become weed-like.
When, where and how to plant
Sow seeds in spring in trays or directly into the garden.
This plant does readily seed, so once you plant it you
will never need to buy seed again.
It prefers a moist well-worked soil in full sun. It is hardy
to frost, snow and wind.
Spring flower show
A SPRING flower show will be held during the weekend
of September 17 and 18.
Organised by the The New Zealand Alpine Garden Society,
New Zealand Alpine Garden Society, CHS Daffodil
Show and the Rhododendron Society Show, the event
will take place at the Woolston Club, 43 Hargood St.
Exhibits will include alpine and rock garden plants,

Study reveals rapid
weight loss food
VEGETARIANS LOSE weight
twice as fast as meat eaters,
according to a study.
It found that the fastest way
for dieters to fight the flab was
to give up meat products. They
constitute more than a third of
the average meat eater’s daily
calorie intake.
In the first month of a diet,
they lose on average 900g, while
vegetarians’ weight loss is double
that at about 1.8kg.
The difference is even more
noticeable for slimmers who quit
meat at the start of a diet – with
the first month’s weight loss averaging
about 2.3kg.
Vegetarians are said to typically
be better dieters because the
switch away from meat also leads
to people embracing a healthier
lifestyle.
The study found that vegetarians
were twice as likely to be
gym members as meat eaters and
exercise twice as much.
The study found vegetarians
were also more likely to pick
low-fat options at the supermarket
than meat eaters.
The study found vegetarians
were also more likely to pick
low-fat options at the supermarket
than meat eaters.
They are also much more likely
to pick low-fat options at the
supermarket and tend to shun
fast food restaurants – just 12 per
cent are users, compared to 39
per cent of meat eaters.
The study, involving 1000
people, was carried out by weight
loss firm Forza Supplements.
Managing director Lee Smith
said: “All our research shows that
becoming a veggie is a great way
to lose weight.
“It’s not that good lean meat is
particularly calorific but we find
that meat eaters consistently have
a higher calorie intake
because the meat they eat is
often cooked in an unhealthy
way.
“A grilled chicken thigh is just
135 calories but that shoots up
to 290 calories when it is fried by
one of the fast food outlets, with
another 300 calories if you add
fries. That is where all the damage
is done.” – Daily Mail
No more coffee
IT’S TOUGH news but
according to a new report from
The Climate Institute, coffee
could be wiped out by 2080.
Based on the report’s estimations,
if global warming continues
at its current rate, rising
temperatures will render half the
land currently used to farm coffee
unsuitable by 2050.
Climate change will also see
an increase in pests and fungi,
which will impact the ability to
farm beans at current levels and,
by 2080, wild coffee is expected
to be wiped from the planet.
This date may feel like plenty
of cups of coffee away, but as
temperatures rise, consumers
IN THE battle of the bulge,
fat-laden cheese is often the first
tasty treat to be scrubbed from
the weekly shopping list.
But research suggests that
consumers who switch to lowcalorie
alternatives may be wasting
their cash.
A study found that ‘skinny’
cheese does not lower cholesterol,
reduce blood pressure or
help to trim the waistline.
Volunteers who spent three
can expect to see their brew’s
flavour and aroma seriously impacted,
while facing increasing
price hikes as the beans become
more scarce.
“Looking ahead, it is hard to
see how consumer prices cannot
be anything but badly affected by
the projected long-term decline
in growing area and other impacts
of a more hostile climate,”
the report said.
Beyond having to find a new
morning fix, the disappearance
of the coffee plant would also
impact around 120 million
people whose livelihoods depend
on the production of coffee
beans.
Low fat cheese no better
months eating a daily portion
of regular fat-cheese, or a lowcalorie
option, saw little or no
difference in heart disease risk
by the end of the experiment.
The researchers, from the University
of Copenhagen, recruited
139 men and women with early
warning signs of heart disease
and allocated them a daily 80
gram portion of full-fat cheese
or the same amount of a lowcalorie
variety.

Fashion
The business of lending
• By Annabelle Dick
IN ANOTHER life, Mary
Outram could have been a
librarian.
In some ways she is but in the
fashion sense.
The 24-year-old Riccarton
woman has carved a niche not
by selling designer clothing –
but by lending it out.
She established a business
called Borrowed by Mary, which
allows other young fashionistas
to wear her designer-label clothing.
Her business has gained
thousands of followers on social
media.
Miss Outram lends out more
than 50 pieces of clothing, in
sizes six to 14, which are usually
worth several hundred dollars
each.
She has spent years building
up her wardrobe and saw the
opportunity to help others who
want to wear designer clothing
without the price tag.
“For me, when I was younger
you’d have to fork out money
to buy a beautiful item that you
were going to wear to a 21st or a
special occasion, but often you
can’t afford it,” she said.
“Just because you don’t have
all the money in the world
doesn’t mean you can’t wear
these $300, $400 and $500
items,” she said.
She stocks all sorts of dresses,
skirts and playsuits in brands
from Sass & Bide to Shona Joy,
Alice McCall and Camilla.
Miss Outram began the business
venture when she launched
her website in April after leaving
her retail job.
She started the business
herself and was responsible for
everything from creating the
website to gaining a social media
following and modelling garments.
Miss Outram also works in
PR and marketing and runs
her business from home where
women can try on garments

“Renting has been a popular
concept for a while. It’s been
done over in Australia and
there’s some people here in New
Zealand, but when I started,
there wasn’t anyone big in
Christchurch so I saw a gap in
the market,” she said.
Miss Outram started off as a
fashion blogger in 2014, where
she gained a number of dedicated
followers.
She believes Borrowed by
Mary’s success comes down to
her investment in her fashion
blog and her marketing background.
“I think my difference is that
I’ve had this blog and I have a
sense of style. I think I know
what looks good and I’m smart
about who I’m buying for,” Miss
Outram said.
With Borrowed by Mary’s
popularity soaring, Miss Outram
plans to keep growing her

She also intends to start her

PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY - 8th SEPTEMBER
Parkinson’s disease and
your physiotherapist
The Star
Physiotherapy –
Effective and Versatile
When a person is diagnosed with
Parkinson’s Disease the first approach
is usually to start on medications to
enhance or replace the brain chemicals
that have been depleted. Research now
tells us that starting an appropriate
exercise programme is just as important
as starting on medication and both
should be offered to people when they
are diagnosed. Exercise stimulates
the release of the neurotransmitter
dopamine and helps the brain use
the dopamine it has more effectively.
However the nature of Parkinson’s
disease means that participating in safe
exercise, that is intense enough, can be
difficult. Physiotherapists can assess a
person with Parkinson’s and help them
to implement an exercise programme
that will target their specific symptoms.
Joe is a 51 year old who was diagnosed
with Parkinson’s at age 47. He works full
time and found he was becoming stiff,
clumsy and slow and his handwriting
had deteriorated to the point that it
affected his work. Joe sought the help
of a neurological physiotherapist and
worked on an intensive programme
of physiotherapy designed to retrain
certain aspects of his movement. Joe
was able to improve all of his symptoms
and although his Parkinson’s will
continue to progress he is able to slow
some of the impact it has on his life
by regular specific exercise and selfmonitoring.
Physiotherapists can help with a
wide range of neurological conditions
including Parkinson’s disease, Stroke,
Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron
Disease and many others.
You can ‘find a physio’ on www.
physiotherapy.org.nz or your GP can
point in the right direction to find a
suitably qualified physiotherapist.
For two Christchurch women, receiving
physiotherapy treatment has made a lifechanging
difference, and demonstrates just
how versatile and effective Physiotherapy
can be.
Julie Barker suffers from bronchiectasis,
a chronic lung disease similar to cystic
fibrosis. Her regular weekly half-hour
physiotherapy sessions with a respiratory
physiotherapist has seen her visits to her
specialist reduce from every three months
down to every six months and now she only
needs to visit him yearly.
Julie is aware of her limitations but feels
that Physiotherapy has allowed her to live a
more active life, including regularly playing
tennis. Julie knows that this has made her a
healthier person and she is grateful for the
positive benefits of Physiotherapy.
Jan Kent, who has just completed
a small-group ten-week programme
designed to help those with
osteoarthritis, agrees. The former
science teacher explains that
the programme was holistic in
approach, demonstrating how
well physiotherapy combines with
other therapies. After an individual
assessment on how their arthritis
was affecting movement in daily
life such as sitting, standing, and
balance, Jan and the others were
taught exercises to do a minimum
of four times a week which took
pressure off the joints by targeting
specific muscle groups. Jan explains that
they have been “very, very helpful; I’ve
found that I have got far more flexibility
and my balance is better. It’s given me more
confidence to exercise because I know I am
exercising the right way.”

physiotherapy may be able to help with a

Theatre/Arts
Three actors – six roles
Teechers
Created by John Godber
Directed by Derek
Doddington
Reviewed by Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
YOU WOULD think only
having three performers in an
entire play would be rather
ho-hum.
But not in this
case, with the leading
roles bursting onto
stage to produce
a highly energetic
performance.
Top Dog Theatre’s
comedy Teechers came
across exactly how it
was planned. It took audiences
on a journey of a typical high
school.
What was quirky about the
show was the three performers,
Jay Versteeg, Nikki Bleyendall
and Dan Crossen, who played
about six different characters
each, switching roles on stage
and making only minor
costume changes.
The typical school bully, a
boy who never does physical
education and another who tells
‘There is not a
dull moment and
director Derek
Doddington has
put together a
marvellous play’
on everyone, through to the
pompous drama teacher – every
classic school character features
in this show.
And in spite of the play being
set in the 1980s, and in the
poorer part of England, it is
relevant today, creating a feeling
of nostalgia over days causing
mischief for teachers at school
while going through the crazy
adolescent
transition.
Teechers is
a play within
a play, based
around three
students in
their final years
of school who
put on a play for their fellow
dramatists.
It centres around Mr Nixon
– played by Dan Crossen – who
ignited the students’ passion for
the stage with his idealism and
belief that all students should be
treated equally.
On a more serious note, there
was a strong message coming
through that all education
should be undertaken by caring
and engaged teachers no matter
what school you go to.
HILARIOUS: Nikki Bleyendall and Dan Crossen in Top Dog
Theatre’s latest production of Teechers.
It is particularly relevant
to Christchurch, where what
school you go to seems to almost
define your personality.
The Gloucester Room,
where the show is staged, is a
small building which provides a
rather intimate background for
the show.
The lighting by Darryl Cribb
stood out, giving life to the bare
classroom setting. The colourful
strobe lights frequently used
brought life to the show by
creating a party atmosphere.
There is not a dull moment
and director Derek Doddington
has put together a marvellous
play that is relatable to anyone
no matter what school they went
to.
Teechers is running through to
September 10 with an extended
show on Saturday at 4pm.

Let the fish give you a pedicure
• By Mike Yardley
TEMPLE-TOURING soon takes
its toll, which probably explains
why Siem Reap, in Cambodia,
heaves with touts offering foot
massages and fish pedicures.
I hate having my feet fiddled
with, let alone having them nibbled
by cleaner fish.
However, if you’re happy to have
dunk your toes in a fish tank, it’s a
sure-fire way to send all that dead
skin packing. But a word of advice:
try to be first in line because by the
end of the trading day, the water in
the tank will be decidedly soiled,
after having played host to dozens
and dozens of feet and dead skin
flakes.
It wasn’t that long ago that Siem
Reap, the gateway to the Angkor
temple complex, was just a quiet,
dusty town of rutted roads and
dark nights. But the past 50 years
has transformed the city into a
charismatic destination, full of
paradoxes, as ancient traditions
and modern bling rub shoulders to
form a glittery tourist mecca.
I marvelled at the frenetic pageant
of Siem Reap street life, abuzz
with motorcycles and cyclists,
impossibly laden with a cornucopia
of goods, from vast bunches of
mangos to teetering ladders, water
tanks and freshly culled chickens.
It’s a place where tuk-tuk drivers
take a break by slinging themselves
into an on-board hammock, or
catch a quick game of checkers
with a mate. It’s a city of monks
draped in swirling ochre robes and
brightly painted temples.
In the heart of town, just a block
back from Siem Reap River, the
Old Market is a head-swirl of
colour, character and the bizarre.
Souvenir stalls litter the edges
of the market, touting trinkets
of dubious quality, but venture
inside the rabbit warren of endless
aisles to savour a slice of local life,
where vendors flog off everything
imaginable from pots and pans to
parasols.
But it’s the food section, a heaving
emporium of fresh produce in
a rainbow of colours, in addition to
the startling variety of meats and
seafood, that provides the best sensory
assault. It’s not a place to be
squeamish as you wander by dozens
of headless chooks, legs tightly
bound and colonised by flies, or
wonder what an earth that blood
and gore soaked speciality, selling
like hot cakes, might actually be.
THIRSTY?:
A sugarcane
juice vendor
in Siem
Reap.
It turns out one of the biggest
sellers at the Old Market, which
I could not bring myself to try, is
duck foetus. It looks as graphically
horrific as it sounds. Siem Reap
boasts a stack of markets – the Old
Market being the most traditional
and the night market remaining a
perennial hit with visitors.
Take in some of the local entertainment,
like the Landmine
Victim Band which serenades
shoppers at the market entrance,
with traditional Khmer music. If
you’re keen to buy some authentic,
local and handmade souvenirs, the
FISHY: Vendors at Siem Reap’s Old
Market, it is one of the most traditional
and the night market is a hit with
visitors. (Above) Healthy produce in
abundance.
night market is a good bet, with
an excellent range of handicrafts
including silk, art, jewellery, wood
and stone carvings.
Many of the producers are
orphans and disabled people, employed
by local NGO, so you’ll be
shopping with a clear conscience.
Cambodian cuisine is really starting
to stamp its mark, after traditionally
being overshadowed by its
neighbours, Thailand and Vietnam.
But Siem Reap has emerged as a
dining destination in recent years,
with strong and vibrant flavours
which draw inspiration from China
and India – stir-frying and dried
spices.
A signature national dish is
fish amok – steamed and curried
fish coated in kroeung paste and
cooked in a cup made from banana
leaves. The other must try signature
is beef lok lak, made with diced
beef and garnished with citrus and
pepper dip.

Pass, the terrain changes as you emerge from the 8.5km long
Otira Tunnel. With a steep gradient of 1 in 33, it remains one
New Zealand’s finest engineering feats. Descend through a
subtropical rainforest, past the glistening Lake Brunner and
on to Greymouth the heart of the West Coast – A great base
for exploring mighty glaciers, wild rivers and the famous
Punakaiki pancake rocks.
You’ll enjoy all this in the comfort of new world-class
carriages featuring huge panoramic sky-view windows, an on
board licensed café with a range of delicious Kiwi flavours and
comprehensive GPS triggered at-seat audio commentary. For
a breath of fresh Spring air, step out onto the open air viewing
carriage where nothing gets between your camera and the
stunning scenery.

The Star
Springing into a new era of parenthood
WITH LAST week boasting a
superb bout of spring sunshine,
we took advantage of the
glorious weather and spent
Saturday afternoon at the
beach.
Armed with buckets, spades
and a massive shovel, we met
some friends on the sand and let
the kids go crazy. My other half
spent close to two hours continuously
digging tunnels, creating
trenches and bolstering walls.
The girls were sent on missions
to collect feathers, kelp, sticks,
or whatever they could find to
decorate their fortress.
With a further hour of the kids
playing in, on and around their
creation, us parents simply sat
back and watched it all unfold.
Such a fun and relaxing way to
wind down after a long week.
It was only then that I reflected
and realised that this was
possibly the beach trip since
embarking on our parenting
career that didn’t involve a good
hour of organising togs, wetsuits,
blankets, nappies, spare clothes,
towels and copious amounts of
food. Nor did we have to factor
in naps, snacks or bedtime routines.
It was awesome.
We were laden with only
one bag containing a couple of
towels, drink bottles and some
snacks. And if we felt like more,
we had a cafe within walking
distance. Easy as.
With our youngest twin girls
fast approaching their third
birthday, they are now at an
age where their independence
FUN:
Building a
fortress in
the sand.
is flourishing by the day. They
know not to go crashing into the
waves with their clothes on, and
that they can forage through the
backpack for snacks and drinks
whenever they feel hungry.
They are becoming more confident
in their own space (though
still close to each other) and love
to kick it with the “big girls”
rather than be close to our side.
For us, this is huge. The
watchful eyes, clock-watching
and scheduling that comes with
having babies now seems to have
officially gone.
The fact we were at the beach
within 30 minutes of making our
decision reinforced that the days
of routine are pretty much over,
and we are now in a new era.
Although we know that getting
four girls under seven out
the door will still present some
logistical challenges, Saturday
afternoon provided us with the
realisation that we are well and
truly on the other side of babyhood.
Of course, we will still pack
bags and organise drinks and
snacks, but it’s not such a big
thing if an afternoon slides by
and we decide to have fish ‘n’
chips on the beach rather than
rush home for the 5pm dinner,
bath and bed routine.
With that in mind, we are
looking forward to a summer of
more freedom and spontaneity
than we’ve had in the last seven
years. And while I feel somewhat
nostalgic about leaving
those years behind, I am equally
excited for the adventures that
lie ahead and look forward to the
next chapter in our lives.
Cheers to that, and roll on the
summer daze!

GETAWAY TO ALPINE TRIANGLE
The spectacular getaway
in Christchurch’s backyard
With iconic thermal pools,
villages surrounded by
mountains and forests, one
of the country’s premier wine
regions and spectacular wildlife (including
whales!), the Alpine Pacific Touring Route
(APT) is a road trip like no other.
The 370-km journey takes in the Hurunui
Region’s most spectacular
sights, winding its way
through Hanmer Springs,
the Waipara Valley and
onto Kaikoura. What’s
more, it starts just a stone’s
throw from Christchurch
but feels a world away
from the city so is the
ultimate and easy escape.
Anyone who has driven
up State Highway One
near the Waipara Valley in recent years will
have noticed the rapid growth of this winegrowing
region. It now has 74 vineyards,
31 wineries and four wonderful winery
restaurants – perfect for a lingering lunch
stop. The wines here are among the best in
the world and have the international awards
to prove it.
From Waipara, the APT will take you
north-west to Hanmer Springs, one of
Christchurch’s favourite holiday destinations
with fresh air, mountains and forests galore.
The iconic Hanmer Springs Thermal
Pools and Spa is still one of the country’s
most popular attractions with its famous
naturally heated, mineral-filled waters. The
complex now has 15 thermal pools, as well as
two hydroslides and the South Island’s only
aquatic thrill ride, the SuperBowl.
The village’s retail sector has undergone
a huge boom in recent times with a new
shopping centre on Conical Hill Road and
dozens of boutiques attracting visitors to the
village.
Hanmer Springs is
also fast becoming the
unofficial spa capital of
New Zealand and now
has more than a dozen
operators offering a
wide range of services.
There are numerous
styles of massage, a
full range of beauty
treatments (from facials
to pedicures) and holistic treatments such as
reiki and acupuncture all on offer.
The drive from Hanmer Springs to
Kaikoura along the Leader Road is stunning
and a trip not many Cantabrians have ticked
off. It takes you through historic villages and
rolling hills with plenty of photo stops.
Eco-tourism capital Kaikoura is, of
course, most famous for its whale watching
opportunities but that is just the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to the area’s wildlife
offering. Don’t miss the Ohau Stream Walk,
an easy 280-metre track, to a picturesque
waterfall that is popular with baby seals in
winter - delighting all who visit.
Kaikoura literally means ‘a meal of crayfish’
and there are plenty of opportunities to
sample this local delicacy. And, coupled
with a glass of Waipara Valley wine, there is
possibly no better way to end this fabulous
journey.

Wighton gets go ahead to play for Raiders
AN ELATED Jack Wighton
is free to play in Canberra’s
qualifying final after being found
not guilty of a shoulder charge.
The NRL judiciary panel of
Sean Garlick, Royce Ayliffe and
Mal Cochrane, took just five
minutes to find Wighton not
guilty of the grade-two shoulder
charge on Wests Tigers forward
Joel Edwards.
Wighton faced a four-match
ban if found guilty on Tuesday
night at Rugby League Central.
“It was good to get the result. I
can’t wait to get out on the park
on the weekend. I was always
confident. I always had faith,”
Wighton told the New Zealand
Herald.
“It was just one of those tackles
that looked worse than what it
was.
“It has been a long day, a rough
start to the week and it is good to
get it over with.
“I am just really excited about
the weekend.”
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart
said it was a verdict star fullback
Wighton deserved.
“I am really happy with the
hearing and for the team and for
Jack,” Stuart said.
“He has been pretty settled
and confident for two days. He
has handled himself really well
because he has put so much into
the season.”
Stuart admitted the case had
been a distraction for his team.
“I wanted to do some stuff with
the team this afternoon and we
had to postpone it,” he said.
“We haven’t had a session this
week. But we will get through it.
It is a challenge. It is not going to
be anything but another hurdle
we have to overcome.”
In arguing his case, judiciary
prosecutor Peter McGrath conceded
the first point of contact
between Wighton and Edwards
was their forearms but said that
didn’t matter.
“It was a classic shoulder
charge that player Wighton was
at least careless in the way he effected
it,” McGrath said.
Wighton’s defence counsel
Nick Ghabar said the tackle was
“more a collision than a charge”.
A small group of Raiders fans
celebrated outside League Central
after the verdict was read out.

Christ’s recruit top coaching staff
Basketball
team
qualifies for
nationals
• By Gordon Findlater
CHRIST’S COLLEGE has
made history, qualifying for
the secondary schools’ national
basketball championships for the
first time ever.
Christ’s finished third at the
weekend’s South Island qualifying
tournament. Their previous
best effort was 14th, which they
achieved 12 months ago.
Christ’s basketball programme
has somewhat emulated the rapid
rise of their rugby programme
with the help of a high-profile
coaching duo.
This year, the Christ’s first XV
rugby team experienced their
best season in decades under the
guidance of former All Black
captain Reuben Thorne and former
Crusaders player Cameron
McIntyre.
Canterbury Rams captain
Marques Whippy took on the
role of basketball head coach at
Christ’s last year and, in recent
months, has been joined by current
Rams coach and former Tall
Blacks point guard Mark Dickel,
who has been helping the team
in an assistant role.
“Mark’s great at motivating the
kids. The practices leading up
to the tournament were pretty
intense, but it helps when you
have a coach who has played
and coached at a high level,” said
Christ’s head coach Whippy.
The days of teachers coaching
top secondary school teams are
beginning to look like a thing of
the past, with many examples
of prominent athletes, past and
present, taking on coaching roles
at secondary school.
Some include Anna Thompson
coaching the Rangi Ruru netball
team, and former All White
Danny Hay coaching the Sacred
Heart College first XI in Auckland.
“Rugby’s probably one that’s
led the way with regards to that.
A lot of schools around the country
do have top ex-players who
are part of their programme. It
seems to be the reality of it at the
TEAM TALK: Marques Whippy (left) and Mark Dickel lay down
their instructions during a time-out in last week’s South Island
championships.
moment, but they’re not always
easy to come by,” said Christ’s
director of sport Rob Clarke.
The school went to the South
Island tournament in Ashburton
with the objective of finishing
in the top six and qualifying for
nationals.
They won four of five pool
games to qualify for the quarter
finals. Their only pool game loss
came at the hands of tournament
winners Christchurch Boys’
High School.
Christ’s took on Nelson College
in the quarter finals, knowing
a win would assure them of a
spot at nationals.
With the game poised, Nelson
made a free throw to take a one
point lead with just six seconds
remaining. Christ’s had one
final chance to win the game.
Star player Will Harrison drove
towards the basket and then
passed the ball cross court to
find Sam McGuire who hit the
game winning shot.
The 70-69 victory cemented
Christ’s spot at the national
championship. They then lost
70-82 to Nelson College in the
semi-final before defeating
Cashmere High School 83-81 to
finish third.
“We’ve never beaten Cashmere
this year. We played them maybe
three times and usually lost by
20 points. That was probably
the best basketball I’ve seen the
boys play and it came from hard
work,” said Whippy.
Christ’s will join Christchurch
BHS and Cashmere in the
national championships in
Palmerston North later this

Dragon boating
“Dragon boating is a sport suitable for anyone, no matter
what your ability or age – from 12 to 112, you can enjoy this
sport.
Join a team and enjoy the fun and camaraderie of dragon
boating. We will match you to a team to suit your lifestyle and
ability.
Christchurch teams are among the best in the country,
with school girls’ and a breast cancer team currently National
Champions. None of these paddlers started off expecting
to rise to these lofty heights – they achieved success from
the foundations of building a team dedicated to training,
teamwork and camaraderie.
Regattas run from October to April with a highlight being
the Le Mans starts at Super 12 racing in Akaroa. This event
is a huge amount of fun, always in excellent weather at the
end of January with the many holiday makers soaking up
the energy, enjoying the noise and watching the pageantry
of the dragons heads, tails and
vigorous drumming out on the
water.
Dragon boating is on the path
to become an Olympic sport. So
now is a great time to become
involved – who knows, you
could be a NZ representative
athlete.”

It’s like sudoku: each

the numbers can’t be
repeated in any row or
column.
But it’s sudoku with a
twist: The numbers in
each heavily outlined
set of squares, called
cages, must produce the
number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means
the numbers add up to 5,
9x means the numbers
multiply to equal 9.
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the
same line or row.

The biggest range of vehicles
in one location
Toyota Prius cares
for the environment
• By Ross Kiddie
I HAD the good fortune
recently to listen to a
speech from Toyota New
Zealand’s managing
director, Alistair Davis.
The subject was global
warming and the effect
that is having on our
planet. Mr Davis’ address
was fascinating and way
too comprehensive to
detail, but for the fact
that the bottom line is as
a global population we
aren’t doing enough to
save our planet from rising
sea water levels and other
issues surrounding climate
change.
Toyota as a global vehicle
manufacturing operation is
well aware of the problems
our future generations face,
and are amping up the
production of more fuel
efficient and low emission
vehicles, those which are
less likely to contribute to
the problem greenhouse
gas is creating on our
weather patterns.
There is no silver bullet
to the issue without a viable
alternative to the internal
combustion engine; that
being the case, Toyota’s
production of hybrid
vehicles is reaching new
intensity.
Because of New Zealand’s
tiny appetite for new cars
in comparison to the world
market, we don’t see the
volume of hybrids that
are leaving the Toyota
factories, but as demand
here swells, more and more
hybrids are landing; take
for example, the release
of the new Corolla hybrid
which will be evaluated
in these columns in a few
week’s time.
In the interim, this
evaluation focuses on
the Prius – the car which
really started the hybrid
revolution, and for
2016/17 a new generation
has landed, priced from
$47,490 to $54,990.
The fourth-generation
car shares much of the
same basic design and
mechanical engineering of
its predecessor, but it is a
far more advanced car, and
the styling cues are fresh
– almost futuristic – and
designed so that the person
who buys Prius will make a
statement.
The Prius has always had
styling a little avant-garde,
but new treatment makes it
a lot more radical. Inside,
contrasting white plastic
trim elements are striking
and while it may sound
garish, it works well with
the purpose of Prius.
On that subject, the
new Prius is quieter and
far more refined than
ever before, the level of
sophistication has been
cranked up a notch or two.
It drives quietly, and for
all intents and purposes it
works much like a standard
car. I’ve often said that
the Camry is my favourite
hybrid but the new Prius is
on a par, you just feel so at
ease with the system, and
even if you aren’t familiar
with the Prius concept, the
latest iteration will quickly
win you over.
• Price – Toyota Prius,
$47,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4540mm; width,
1760mm; height,
1475mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1798cc, 90kW,
142Nm, CVT.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11sec
• Fuel usage –
3.4l/100km
The dash and console
area are new-age, there
are a raft of screens and
displays, and even though
it is a complex car, the
controls are intuitive and
easy to locate the display
which shows the the inner
workings of the hybrid
operation is my favourite.
And therein lies the
ideology of the hybrid
operation. It has battery
power to activate the
electric motor which
is initiated in the first
instance; however, the
petrol engine operates
automatically when the
electric motor is under
load. The 1.8-litre petrol
engine also provides the
generation needed to keep
TOYOTA PRIUS: Major
technology boost in new
model.
recharging the batteries, as
well as some regeneration
available on deceleration.
It’s a complex process,
although in effect it
works seamlessly and
efficiently, drive is sent to
the front wheels through
a continuously variable
automatic transmission.
The benefits make a lot
of sense when you take
into account the fuel usage
readouts. Between a long
highway drive and a lot of
suburban running around
the test car recorded a 5.2-
litre per 100km (54mpg)
average.
That’s nowhere near
Toyota’s best claim of
3.4l/100km (82mpg) on a
combined cycle average but
conditions to get usage that
friendly would need to be
near perfect.
In terms of handling,
the Prius feels taut, the
newcomer has had a
shift in battery position so
it feels less bulky at the rear,
and the ride isn’t as harsh
as I remember Prius to be.
The spring and damper
rates are firmish but not
hard, and that relates to
positive body balance in a
corner along with realistic
steering feel.
In the wider scheme of
things, other manufacturers
have only dabbled with
hybrid production while
Toyota is forever expanding
the number of vehicles
available in hybrid form.
The Prius sets an example
as to how it should work
effectively.
Toyota in New Zealand
recognise the importance
of Prius in our market,
even to the extent of
importing pre-owned plugin
(electric-only) Prius
through the Signature Class
operation. It’s there for
those who like the idea of
what the Prius represents
but who don’t relate to
the idea of still relying on
petrol as the main form of
propulsion.

The Best Kept Secrets
to Selling Your Home
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the
only impression
No matter how good the interior of your home looks,
buyers have already judged your home before they walk
through the door. You never have a second chance to
make a first impression. It’s important to make people
feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the
house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also
important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and
keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by
putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you
never know when your buyer is going to walk through
the door. You have to be available whenever they want
to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape.
Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher
cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure
there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little
inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first
You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling
your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of
remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.
It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops
where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking
price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most
inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new
cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can
present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start
envisioning their own style. If you have a little money
to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why
one? Because when people see one high-end appliance
they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates
the kitchen.
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house
One of the most important things to do when selling
your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal
stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can
imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your
stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,
memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.
Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best
showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade
We have
achieved record
breaking prices
recently!
Licensed (REAA 2008)
Results Realty Ltd
Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth
makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your
money back if you do a huge improvement project before
you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates
that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh
coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,
cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track,
fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts
of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody
is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty
litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes.
It will give buyers the impression that your house is not
clean. If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your
pets around.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.
Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.
They must constantly monitor the multiple listing
service (MLS), know what properties are going on the
market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find
an agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one
has many tools to get your house sold.
Selling Secret #8: Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After location, good
light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they
want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the
windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage
of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let
in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house
bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets
Storage is something every buyer is looking for and
can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of
your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there.
Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and
cabinets clean and tidy.

Going off - big time!
IN 1982 the Marine Tavern in Sumner
was ‘going off, big time’. It was one of the
city’s main music venues. And the
attraction? - Louie & the Hot Sticks.
Made up of local musos Al ‘Louie’ Park
(vocals, guitar), Helen Mulholland
(vocals), Jim Walmsley (guitar), Wayne
Jamieson (bass), Danny Wilson (sax), and
Wayne Beecroft (drums), they
energetically delivered their own unique
blend of soul, Latino, blues, rock originals
and covers. Their stage presence was
always enthusiastically electrifying, the
atmosphere was always like a monstrous
party. Fans flocked from all over the city
and would queue for ages to see band.
Following a highly successful three year

residency, the Hot Sticks moved closer to
town, takin up residency at the Aranui
Hotel.
