Surprise knock at door starts 

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.

News.....................................3-17 

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.

City councillor Jamie Gough had 

an unfamiliar task on his hands 

on Monday – herding sheep over 

the city’s oldest timber bridge. 

The Helmores Lane Bridge was 

reopened for the first time since 

the February 2011 earthquake, 

after five months of repairs. It 

was originally used to drive 

stock towards the Riccarton sale

Cr Gough drove the sheep over

The French gravy train 

Hospital board 

chief sent 

to school 

three times 

• 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. 

David Meates 

(left) attended the 

INSEAD business 

school in Fontainebleau, 

southeast 

of Paris, in 

September and 

November of last 

year and then in January. 

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. 

Environment Canterbury and 

the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery 

Authority have also sent 

staff to INSEAD. 

ECan spent $73,000 sending

attended INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. 

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.




News 

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 


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.”

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 


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 

smaller buildings at the Lincoln 

campus. 

The pay-out means the university 

can begin initiating its 

campus master plan, including 

refurbishments or creating new 

buildings, said Prof Pollard.

David Bain’s Givealittle 

donations dry up 


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 

indicated 60-70 per cent of 

people said he should have 

got compensation,” he said. 

The donations are currently 

sitting at $11,730. 

Mr Brooking said people

Woolston residents now

after New World Ferry Rd 

opened its doors yesterday. 

The new supermarket

Government not paid Mr 

Bain $925,000 in compensation. 

In May 1995, Mr Bain 

was convicted and sentenced 

to life in prison. 

In 2007, his legal team 

successfully appealed to 

the Privy Council, which 

declared there had been a 

‘substantial miscarriage of 

justice’. 

He was released on bail 

in May 2007 and a retrial 

in June 2009 ended with 

his acquittal on all charges. 

While Mr Bain did not 

have anything to do with 

the setup of the page, he 

has been in touch with Mr 

Brooking to express his 

original New World, which 

will be demolished.

Residents opposing 

the expansion of BP

gratitude to him. 

“Thank you so very 

much for all the work you 

have done . . . If there is

gratitude to the contributors, 

I would appreciate 

your help in this. Please be 

assured that my wife and I 

will make good use of the 

gift to make a better life 

for our wee family,” Mr 

Bain said in an email to Mr 

Brooking. 

The page will finish up

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.

children’s tooth decay 

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. 

That could change next year,

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 

with at least two teeth, and the 

average Pasifika child three. 

That compares with one 

tooth, on average, for children 

of other ethnicities.

Under the new system, families

Motel complex 

planned near 

Northlands 


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.

BARRIERS HAVE been 

installed in Sumner to stop 

Pokemon Go players driving 

up onto the footpath to play 

the popular game. 

Since July, residents had been

parking to catch Pokemon. 

Residents said it was endangering 

the pedestrians there.

City councillor Paul Lonsdale

He said the city council

cars from being able to go onto

New use for old 

council chambers 


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

and the last one left in Christchurch. 

Since 1887, it has housed the

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

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. 

“We have also continued 

development of our bare land to 

Flight capacity increase to Dubai 

EMIRATES WILL use double decker Airbus 

A380s between Christchurch and Dubai ffrom 

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 

industry”, said Mr Mackenzie. 

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 

freight hub, being developed 

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 

having 354 seats and the 777-200 with 266 seats. 

with Freightways and Courier 

Post; the 240 bed JUCY Snooze 

pod hostel, the first in New 

Zealand, due to open next 

month, the 200 room Novotel 

Christchurch Airport due to 

open December 2017. 

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



Brianne West 

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. 

Great service, style & variety

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).

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

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.

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 

before renting them out. 

“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 

stock. 

She also intends to start her 

own PR agency.

PHYSIOTHERAPY DAY - 8th SEPTEMBER 

Parkinson’s disease and 

your physiotherapist 


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.”

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

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.

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.

Weekday coverage of local sport 

with Gordon Findlater 




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 

month.

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.”

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 

Photo credit: John Woods 

residency, the Hot Sticks moved closer to 

town, takin up residency at the Aranui 

Hotel. 

In May last year Louie & the Hot Sticks 

delighted Christchurch by reforming for a 

couple of shows at The Ferry Ale House. 

“It was the general consensus among 

audience and band that it should happen 

more often, so we are returning one more 

time to give Christchurch a taste of what 

made Louie & the Hot Sticks such an 

enduring band,” said Al Park. 

Louie & the Hot Sticks play The Ferry 

Ale House, 2a Waterman Place, 

Ferrymead this Friday and Saturday 

night. Pre sale tickets available at 

cosmicticketing or door sales.
