Meeting
over
unsafe
building
claim
Walkies on wheels
By Bridget Rutherford
IF YOU see a friendly dog on
the beach which looks like he is
towing a sulky – he’s not training
for the upcoming Cup and Show
Week.
Cooper the labrador-mastiff
cross uses his wheels for a different
purpose – to do the things he
loves.
At 11-months-old, he was
diagnosed with hip displasia,
a condition where the ball and
socket joints in his back hips are
malformed.
It makes it difficult for Cooper
to walk long distances, and he
struggled to go to one of his
favourite places – the beach.
So his owner, Frances Ryan,
and her semi-retired friend
decided to build 16-month-old
Cooper his own “wheels” to support
his back legs.
They bought a harness from
the United States, and used stainless
steel and golf cart wheels
to build the contraption, which
took about 48 hours.
“All for the price of a couple of
boxes of beer,” Ms Ryan said.
Cooper only wears the harness
for about an hour a day.
“After he was diagnosed and
we were building his wheels, it
was about six weeks before he
was back at the beach. We got in
the sand and he was like that’s
right – I knew something was
missing in my life.”
Ms Ryan adopted Cooper from
the SPCA just over a year ago,
before he was diagnosed. His vet
expects him to live until he is
about seven.
“By 11 months we were already
in love with him,” she said.
Cooper is the second dog Ms
Ryan has adopted.
“For a dog with a nice temperament,
there’s no reason why
he can’t come to a nice home like
this.”

POOR structural engineering
work meant to ensure a multistory
central city office building
performs well in an earthquake
is the latest allegation that will be
investigated by the city council.
Last week, The Star revealed
allegations relating to five buildings
that were made in a sworn
affidavit from a man who said he
had been placed into roles he was
unqualified for by the structural
engineering company who employed
him.
Now the former employee has
said that he completed unsupervised
welding work on base
isolation plates on one of the
buildings – a multi-storey office
block in the central city.
He gave details of this work
at a meeting yesterday with city
council staff including commercial
consents manager Shane
Bruyns.
Base isolation systems help reduce
the impact of earthquakes
on buildings.
An engineering expert, who
declined to be named, said
starnews.co.nz
buildings had multiple isolation
plates which were usually
“overdesigned” to perform better
than necessary in an earthquake.
If only one or two plates failed it
was unlikely to be an issue.
However, if the same flaws
were repeated on most of the
plates so that a high number
failed, it could compromise the
performance of the building in
an earthquake.
City council general manager
consenting and compliance Leonie
Rae told The Star yesterday
until a thorough investigation
had been completed, it would be
inappropriate to comment on
matters discussed at the meeting
with the former employee.
The former employee has said
he was directed, by his manager,
to take short cuts which deviated
from the building specifications
and would compromise the
engineering.
In his affidavit, he said he
was concerned that there was a
genuine possibility that the substandard
work which he knew
about could cause a CTV-type
disaster.

MORE worrying revelations
today (page 1) over the
developing dangerous
building work claims saga in
Christchurch.
Last week The Star revealed a
former employee of a structural
engineering company had
sworn in an affidavit that he
been placed into roles he was
unqualified for, and he said the
work was unsafe.
He was involved in welding,
and also claimed in the affidavit
that other welders hired by the
company were also unqualified.
They worked on a multi-level
residential building, three
commercial premises and a
school.
Yesterday, that former
employee was questioned by city
council engineers and building
chiefs over his claims in the
affidavit; the first step in what is
potentially going to be a lengthy
inquiry as to whether the claims
have any validity.
And if they do, it could open
a big can of worms over the
rebuild and how work is signed
off.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw a fire (New Zealand’s most extensive
to that date) destroying the centre of Lyttelton. It happened
on October 24, 1870. On October 26, 1980, the city council
gave land at Cuthberts Green to the trustees of new Ngā
Hau E Whā National Marae. On October 27, 1983, a new
office building on the corner of Manchester and Kilmore Sts
incorporated New Zealand’s first exterior lift. On October 28,
1978, the Pioneer Sports Stadium opened. On October 29,
1830, Te Rauparaha chartered the Elizabeth (under Captain
Stewart) and sailed for Akaroa. On October 30, 1985, writerin-residence
at Canterbury University, Keri Hulme (left) won
the prestigious Booker McConnell prize for her novel The
Bone People.
AUTOMATIC WAY TO GET NOTORIETY
A Canterbury University associate professor who
jokingly wrote a research paper by using Apple’s
iOS autocomplete has been accepted to present
his findings at a nuclear physics conference.
Christopher Bartneck was stunned to discover
he secured a place at the conference, which takes
place in the United States next month. He started
a sentence with ‘Atomic’ or ‘Nuclear’ and then
randomly hit the autocomplete suggestions to
write the entire paper. Mr Bartneck said the
paper made no sense at all, and joked that he
resorted to iOS autocomplete because he had no
knowledge of nuclear physics.

Health board’s August budget blowout
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE CANTERBURY District
Health Board’s already stretched
finances are looking worse after
it blew its budget in August.
The CDHB is facing a forecast
budget shortfall of more than
$35 million this year, which has
left it in a financial limbo until
Long jail term
for rapist
THE VICTIM of a violent sex
predator, who for 20 years had
got away with her brutal rape,
yesterday branded him “smug”
and a “nasty and evil man”
as he was jailed for almost 13
years with a minimum term of
imprisonment of eight years.
Former national wrestler
Devon Charles Bond, 49, had
been released from jail in 1998
after kidnapping a North Canterbury
woman with the intention
of raping her in 1995.
But only Bond knew at the time
that he had already raped, and
not been caught, when he broke
into a Burwood woman’s home
on May 9, 1994, and raped her at
knifepoint.
For two decades, Bond lived his
secret until he got into a drunken
fight with police after a boozy
work night out in December
2014.
During his arrest, officers took
a DNA sample which matched
samples taken in 1994, and he
was arrested for the cold case.
He pleaded guilty at the High
Court in Christchurch in May to
six charges, including two charges
of sexual violation and rape,
abduction, aggravated burglary
and assault with a weapon.
Yesterday, during his sentencing,
the court heard a harrowing
victim impact statement, where
the victim explained the longstanding
toll his vicious assault
has had on her.
“You must have thought you
must have got away with it,” said
the victim, who has permanent
name suppression.
its books have been approved by
the Ministry of Health.
It expected the budget
for August to fall $4.8 million
short, but the reality was a $5.1
million shortfall – $320,000
over budget. That included a
$569,000 budget blowout for
in-house services and $112,000

Davison
FORMER LABOUR MP Sir
Kerry Burke and his ex-wife
Faimeh spent nearly $25,000 on
taxpayer-funded travel in the
past financial year.
The Parliamentary Service
annual report for the 2015/16 financial
year showed that former
MPs and their spouses racked
up $703,000 on
international
and domestic
travel.
Christchurch-based
Sir Kerry (left)
was the biggest
spender, claiming
$16,147 in travel while Mrs
Burke claimed $8265.
Mrs Burke unsuccessfully
stood for the city council in the
recent local body elections.
The spouses of former MPs
spent $349,600 – nearly as much
as the politicians themselves,
who spent $353,257.
Mrs Burke told The Star
yesterday she visited Canada
and several countries in Europe
on holiday. She travelled in both
economy and business class.
“I have children in Europe.
One in Germany and one in
service.
It was balanced slightly by
savings in its funding budget
and linen services.
CDHB chief executive David
Meates said the health board
was under huge pressure.
“The system is at capacity, so
we have to be exemplary every
day,” he said.
Austria, so it
made sense I saw
them,” she said.
However, Mrs
Burke said she
was surprised at
the interest in
her travel.
“It’s nobody’s
business as
to what I do
and what
holiday I go
on. Using
this entitlement
is like
people using
their salary and
we don’t go to
them and say
what did you
use your salary for?”
In all, 157 people
claimed money back
through a perk which
provides travel subsidies
and is available only to MPs
elected before 1999 and their
spouses.
The travel perk dates
back to 1972 and has
been defended by
former MPs who say it
is part of their overall salary
package and makes up for them
taking lower pay increases while
they were MPs.
Finance and corporate services
general manager Justine
White said the budget for September
was looking better and
was favourable.
She said the 48-hour junior
doctors strike had added to
staffing costs, and extra demand
on the intensive care unit had
also added pressure.
Globetrotting
Burkes
Former MPs
who served for
three terms get
a 60 per cent
rebate, and
for four terms
it is 75 per
cent, and five
or more terms
qualifies them
for a 90 per
cent rebate.
Sir Kerry
and Mrs
Burke get a
90 per cent rebate.
Mrs Burke has
defended the travel
perk and believes
former MPs have a
right to the entitlement.
“This was of an entitlement
of the MPs at that
time like a salary. It
was the case they didn’t
get a salary increase,
instead they got given
this travel entitlement. It’s
neither secret or anything
strange,” she said.
Since separating with
Sir Kerry, Mrs Burke is no
longer entitled to the travel
rebate.
Sir Kerry is overseas and
could not be reached for comment.
In Brief
SCHOOL DECISION
Redcliffs School will find out
whether it will move back to its
Main Rd site, or to a new one on
Tuesday. The Board of Trustees
will meet with Education
Minister Hekia Parata in
Wellington to hear the decision.
Ms Parata announced in July the
school would not close. She said
the ministry wanted to look into
the impacts of it moving back
to its Main Rd site, and whether
moving the school to another
nearby site would be realistic.
These investigations had now
been completed.
MAN KILLED IN NSW
Former Christchurch resident
Hayden John Simpson, 28, was
killed in a car crash in New South
Wales on Saturday. The truck
driver was heading south on
Tomingley Rd from Narromine
in a Holden Cruze, when he hit
surface water. The car left the
road and flipped end over end a
number of times before landing
on its roof. Police do not believe
alcohol was involved.
ACCOMMODATION AWARDS
The Establishment has been
named the best hotel in
Christchurch in the trivago
awards. The Clyde Rd
accommodation was followed
closely by St James B&B in
Harewood, and Lincoln Motel.
Those three were also all among
the top 10 rating hotels for the
Canterbury region. The awards
are calculated through 175
million user ratings from more
than 250 booking sites.
FLOOD RISK REDUCTION
Work is under way to reduce the
flood risk in Heathcote Valley
downstream of Bridle Path Rd.
The work, which is being done
in three stages, will reduce the
flooding risk for properties
around Flavell and Marsden
Sts, and other areas that flooded
in 2014. The first stage will see
the construction of a pipeline to
divert stormwater from Heathcote
Valley Drain to the lower Matuku
Waterway. The three stages are
due to be completed late next year.

More than
14,000 votes
didn’t count
• By Bridget Rutherford
FIFTEEN PER CENT of votes in
the city council elections could not
be counted because the papers were
not filled out properly.
Of the 92,488 people who returned
their voting papers, 13,711
papers were left blank, while 405
had informal votes, meaning the
voter’s intention were not clear.
This year saw a voting turn out of
38 per cent, down from 43 per cent
in the 2013 election and 52 per cent
in 2010. Votes were still counted
if the voter’s intentions were clear,
regardless of whether the forms
were filled out properly.
Voting for the mayor seemed to
provide the most confusion – with
more than 2700 people leaving
their voting papers blank.
When it came to voting for community
board candidates in the
Heathcote Ward, 782 voting papers
were left blank – the most in the
city. The Fendalton Ward of the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board had 743 blank
voting papers, while the Waimairi
Ward candidates for the same
board had 655 blank papers.
The Canterbury District Health
Board results saw about 113,000
votes in total. Of those, 5792 were
invalid and 15,125 were blank.
From grocer to deputy mayor
Andrew Turner will
be deputy mayor for
the next three years.
Bridget Rutherford
finds out who he is
IN 2009, a group of Lyttelton
business owners were fighting
against a plan to upgrade the
main street during summer –
their biggest trading period.
Back then, the cruise ships
were still visiting Lyttelton and
business owners wanted the
work on London St to be done
in the winter so it would not
disrupt their trading.
They won the battle. Fastforward
six years and Andrew
Turner (right) is facing a bigger
challenge – the role of deputy
mayor.
“I guess if there was one thing
I would say marked my foray
into local politics, it probably was
that,” he said.
Mr Turner said there had been
“conversations” since the election
that led to Mayor Lianne Dalziel
announcing him as her deputy at
last week’s inaugural meeting.
“I’m very pleased to have the
role. There’s a compliment there
that Lianne has asked me to
perform this role.”
NEW LOCATION
13b Parkhouse Rd, CHRISTCHURCH
Originally from Yorkshire,
United Kingdom, Mr Turner’s
background has always been in
business development.
He moved to Lyttelton in 2003,
and he and his partner bought
the Empire Hotel and “brought it
back to life.”
Although they sold it in 2009,
Mr Turner said he was sad to see
it come down after the February
2011 earthquake.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Following that, he was coowner
of London St Dairy and
Harris and Turner Fresh Foods.
That led him to become chairman
of Lyttelton Harbour Business
Association – a role he held
for four years.
Mr Turner was elected as
councillor for Banks Peninsula
in 2013, winning by five votes
over now National MP Nuk
Korako.
Previously he served on the
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community
Board for a term and was
involved in the Lyttelton Master
Plan process and earthquake
recovery. He said the past three
years had been full of challenges
and was “foundation-laying.”
“Last term was really getting to
grips with what we’d inherited. It
was dealing with those big issues
of finance, insurance, infrastructure,
housing, earthquake settlements
and so on.”
But this term posed a different
type of challenge – finishing off
the work the last council started.
He wanted to see community
boards get more power and the
completion of city council
projects such as the town hall,
Central Library and cycleways.
Mr Turner said, as part of his
supporting role to Ms Dalziel, he
would need to be more open to
talking to the media.
“I’m going to need to be approachable
and I’m going to need
to be responding quickly to those
kind of queries.”
So is he keen for the top job in
three years?
“Three years is a long time and
a lot can happen. I think that’s a
conversation we’d be wanting to
have closer to the time.”

Rebuild still attracting migrants
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE Christchurch rebuild
may be slowing but that
has not deterred the
stream of migrants, with
about 5500 moving to the
city in the last year.
Christchurch
Multicultural
Council
president
Surinder
Tandon (left)
said a lot of
people were
attracted to the city for
rebuild work, but many
just wanted to be part of a
growing city.
“Christchurch is seen
as a budding new city due
to the reconstruction and
infrastructure. People
are quite excited to settle
here,” he said.
The new Statistics New
Zealand figures show there
were about 375,000 people
living in Christchurch as
of June this year, an extra
7300 when compared with
the same time last year.
Of those, 5500 were
new immigrants and 1800
was a natural population
change as people were
born or died.
The biggest increase was
in the 15-39 age range, but
the number of people aged
65 and over also rose.
Mr Tandon said
many new migrants
had previously studied
in Christchurch, while

others planned to move
temporarily to join the
rebuild, then decided to
move long-term.
“They find it’s the ideal
place for bringing their
families up, for education
and employment and for
the lifestyle,” he said.
The fact housing was
significantly cheaper than
in Auckland also made
Christchurch attractive to
migrants, he said.
Growing numbers
of migrants could put
support services under
pressure, but he said the
services in Christchurch
were well-resourced and
there was plenty of advice
or support available for
migrants.

Plan needed to
fix suicide rate
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE HEALTH board is looking
at how it can improve its mental
health services after Canterbury
saw the most suicides ever
recorded in New Zealand.
Seventy-eight Cantabrians
committed suicide in the last
year, according to provisional
statistics released by the chief
coroner last year.
Health board member Andrew
Dickerson said the high suicide
rate was something the CDHB
had predicted after the earthquakes,
yet the funding per person
for mental health services in
Canterbury had remained lower
than the national average.
“While many of us have been
able to move forward, there are
some who have been left behind.
They are becoming a smaller
minority and their despair is
increasing,” he said.
He wanted to see a report on
the issue prepared, so the health
board could look at what it might
be able to do.
Speaking to a parliamentary
committee in February, CDHB
chief executive David Meates
warned the mental health system
was at risk of disaster.
He said there had been high
numbers of middle-aged women
struggling with anxiety or depression.
The coroner’s statistics reported
a significant increase in the number
of women who committed
suicide.
Canterbury chief medical
officer Sue Nightingale told the
health board at its meeting last
week that the coroner’s figures
were only provisional, as the
cause of death in some cases had
not been decided.
She said that meant the suicide
rate could improve, but it could
potentially get worse.
AT THE MOVIES: This is what the central city’s new HOTYS EntX multiplex cinema
will look like when it is completed in 2018. The complex will be built on the corner of
Colombo, Lichfield and Tuam Sts. The three-level complex will include a dining precinct
on the ground level with 16 food outlets. It will have seven movie theatres, including
two HOYTS Xtremescreen auditoriums and two HOYTS LUX auditoriums, and will
also feature state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos sound and powered recliners. The former
central city HOYTS, on Moorhouse Ave, was demolished following the February 2011
earthquake.

Deputy mayor appointment far
Shelley Robinson takes a look behind closed
doors at the posturing over Andrew Turner’s
announcement as deputy mayor
AT FIRST glance, the
appointment of Andrew Turner
as deputy mayor appears
innocuous.
He is a thoroughly likeable
bloke – he is the fella around the
barbecue everyone gets on with.
But make no mistake, the
appointment of Cr Turner, who
is The People’s Choice caucus
leader comes with political
moves, counter moves and forward
thinking.
Sources at the city council said
while many outside and inside
city hall would have preferred
Raf Manji as deputy mayor, The
People’s Choice would not have
supported it – suffice to say they
don’t get along.
So opposed to it, there was
speculation that they could at
the first meeting, dependent on
support of other left-leaning city
councillors, put in an notice of
motion to get him, or any other
independent, removed from the
role.
It would not have been a good
way to start the new city council.
So then, it became highly likely
that the deputy mayor was going
to come from The People’s
Choice camp of councillors Yani
Johanson, Glenn Livingstone,
Jimmy Chen, Anne Galloway,
Pauline Cotter, Phil Clearwater
and Cr Turner.
While they are a minority,
with seven members out of a
possible 17 elected members,
they are a powerful group.
But it appears that not all in
the caucus were happy with Cr
Turner being the only option for
deputy mayor.
Sources say there was lobbying
before last Tuesday’s caucus
meeting.
While former deputy mayor
Vicki Buck had made it clear she
wanted out of the role, at least
two of The People’s Choice city
councillors were lobbying others
around the table for her to continue
instead of Cr Turner.
But it appears that the caucus
resolved to be unanimous, and
the outcome of the meeting was
the tick for Cr Turner.
He in turn informed Mayor Lianne
Dalziel he had the support
POLITICAL MOVE: Lianne Dalziel’s announcement that Andrew Turner would be her deputy
for the next three years, comes in an political environment where The People’s Choice are
becoming a strong united voice around the table.
of his caucus should she offer
him the role. It was no surprise
to Ms Dalziel as he had been
lobbying for the role for a few
months. Last Thursday, it was
officially announced to all city
councillors before the swearingin
ceremony.
Former city councillor Paul
Lonsdale, who lost his seat, said
the lobbying could indicate that
individual The People’s Choice
members were already jostling
for position for the mayoralty
next term.
“There are people who do fancy
themselves as mayor and with
Andrew being deputy mayor it
puts him right in line next time,”
he said.
But analysing the political climate
within council chambers it
was inevitable Ms Dalziel would
choose a deputy mayor from
The People’s Choice. They had
become a quite a force and could
divide the table.

from a foregone conclusion
It is no secret around the city
council table that The People’s
Choice had put the independents,
including Ms Dalziel, offside
with their “block voting” on
issues such as asset sales, creating
a tense divide at times.
While the previous term’s city
councillors were at pains to spare
the community a repeat of the
outward bickering from the Sir
Bob Parker table – including the
infamous A and B teams, in reality
there was division but more
subtle.
The A team this time were the
The People’s Choice city councillors
against the B team independents,
with former deputy mayor
Cr Buck and Ms Dalziel the
swing votes off to the side.
Cr Gough said it “did in their
heads”.
“We (the independents) ended
up having to meet and caucus.
They just became a well-oiled
political machine. They act in
opposition. Local government
politics is too small for a miniparliament,”
he said.
City councillors spoken to
by The Star said it was possible
without The People’s Choice
deputy mayor at the helm, the
two sides could keep veering
apart, in spite of solid leadership
by Ms Dalziel.
When asked by The Star if Cr
Turner could unite the council
bringing together the differing
groups Ms Dalziel said: “I hope
so”.
“I think what Andrew has got
is he has built a very strong position
of trust,” she said.
Mr Turner said it was “his
hope” he could unite the city
council.
“The citizens of Christchurch
don’t want to see a council
squabbling . . . that’s not to say
there won’t be viewpoints expressed,
there should be, but it is
how we work those differences to
get the result that is important,”
he said.
Canterbury University political
science senior lecturer Dr Bronwyn
Hayward said Ms Dalziel
needed a strongly united council
to contend with the Government.
“Central government is very
difficult unless you can show
you have legitimacy of strong
public opinion of the community
behind you and a strongly united
council . . .
Dr Hayward said no-one but
a The People’s Choice candidate
would have had a realistic shot at
the deputy mayor role – including
Cr Manji due to the political
make-up of the council.
Cr Turner’s appointment was
“political pragmatism and building
an inclusive council”, she
said.
“Realistically any of the other
candidates like Raf (Manji) are
unlikely to unite the council so
Andrew Turner is likely an effective
political choice because he
will be able to unite a wide range
of groups, including The People’s
Choice.
“You have to work with the
team you’ve got and his (Cr
Manji’s) leadership wouldn’t be
as effective in the setting at this
time,” she said.
She said the biggest challenge
FRUSTRATION:
It was no secret
that last term

Choice and Cr

while Jamie
Gough said

response to The
People’s Choice.

SLOAN
for Cr Turner would be making
the transition to working for
the wider team and not just his
caucus but he had a very “inclusive
style” which would bridge
the gap.
Those that may struggle with
that the most, would be his The
People’s Choice colleagues.
“They as a team will have to
show humility and ability . . .
the public will not be tolerating
groups splitting off – especially
post-quake there is a strong resistance
to factionalism,’ she said.
If last term is anything to go
by, Ms Dalziel will deal with
factionalism very efficiently.
During the last few months
of that term, The Star was aware
of disquiet among some city
councillors. Some vented frustration
that they were not allowed
to comment to media on issues
to do with the relationship with
Government, especially with
regards to what the city council
was doing to exert influence to
move the anchor projects ahead.
There were concerns Ms
Dalziel was clamping down too
hard.
Ms Dalziel said she never
gagged city councillors from
talking, but encouraged them
to be cautious and informed if
commenting in the public realm.
“I have no control over what
they say. All I say is let the communications
team know so we
can get factual information,” she
said.
But Cr Turner said city councillors
should not be commenting
on the relationship with the
Government.
“It is obviously a two-sided relationship
and the council is only
one part of that. Councillors are
not at liberty to talk about the relationship
we are only one party
to. Obviously, some of the details
of the anchor projects have commercial
sensitivities and certainly
it is not our role to be talking

Publisher receives honour
STAR MEDIA chairman Nick
Smith was “humbled” to receive
his Queen’s Birthday Honour
from Governor-General Dame
Patsy Reddy at Government
House last week.
Mr Smith was named an
Officer of the New Zealand
Order of Merit in the Queen’s
Birthday Honours for his services
to media and to sport.
Star Media is the publisher of
The Star, Kiwi Gardener, Rugby
News, Style, Bay Harbour News,
Pegasus Post, Nor’West News,
Southern View, Western News,
Selwyn Times, a number of other
niche print titles, broadcasts
CTV, and has Facebook page
Rise Up Christchurch.
Mr Smith is a past president
of the Otago Chamber of Commerce,
The Dunedin Club and
the Otago Cricket Association,
an Honorary Captain of the
Royal New Zealand Navy, and a
director of several South Island
media companies.
While grateful for the recognition,
he couldn’t help but think of
others who had done good work
in the community without being
recognised.
“It’s good that people do get acknowledgement
from their peers
or the Government or other
persons but there are a lot out
there who should be recognised
and aren’t,” he said.
“There are a lot of other people
in the community that probably
have had a greater bearing on
their city and life than some of
the people like myself who have
these awards.”
However, he did appreciate the
honour and said keeping CTV
operating after the February 2011
earthquake was one of the things
he was proud of.
The CTV building collapsed
in the earthquake, with 16 staff
members among the 115 dead,
and almost all of the company’s
equipment was lost.
“To get it up and running, to
give some hope to those families
who were still employed by CTV,
that took a lot of effort and it

was a very sad time,” Mr Smith
said.
“I think perhaps more pragmatic
people than me would have
perhaps taken the money and
run. That might have been a sensible
thing to do but then again
you can’t put a figure on the
human misery that occurred in
that earthquake and the ongoing
misery if you didn’t do it.”
Another source of satisfaction
was having sponsored the 2003
New Zealand Golf Open winner
Mahal Pearce.
“I was probably the catalyst
for that guy to become the New
Zealand champion and all the
accolades that come with it,
[having] financially backed him
as a young person showing great
talent.”

Dragon set to rock at Lincoln concert
With a catalogue of hits including Kiwi anthems
April Sun in Cuba, Rain and Are You Old Enough?
Dragon have well and truly earned their place as
New Zealand rock royalty. Tom Doudney caught up
with lead singer Mark Williams in the lead up to their
appearance at the Live in Lincoln Selwyn Sounds
concert in March
FLYING IN and out of
Christchurch over the years,
Mark Williams has often
wondered about the land between
the city and Te Waihora/Lake
Ellesmere as he gazed down from
his seat in the aircraft.
But the Dragon singer admitted
he had to Google Lincoln
when the band were asked to
co-headline the Selwyn Sounds
concert with Mi-Sex and a host
of other well-known New Zealand
artists in March.
Now he knew where it was,
Williams, who joined the reformed
band in 2005, said he was
looking forward to exploring the
area – and to playing with the
rest of the show’s line up, most of
whom were friends or artists he
had performed with before.
That line-up includes Sharon
O’Neill, Annie Crummer, Margaret
Urlich, Debbie Harwood,
the Jordan Luck Band and former
Opshop frontman Jason Kerrison,
as well as other local bands.
“I think there is a hell of a lot
of nostalgia going to be going on
here and I’m always up for that,”
Williams said.
Although the band has been
releasing new material over the
last 11 years, he indicated people
could expect plenty of old favourites
when they hit the stage.
“We don’t tend to add too
much new stuff because we know
that given the longevity of the
band people do want to hear
the songs that were part of their
growing up period,” he said.
He said hits like April Sun in
Cuba and Rain remained popular
because they were songs that
every generation could relate to.
“I think it’s the same thing that
caught everyone’s attention at the
time they came out – they are evergreens,
they are kind of standard
and an integral part of Australian
and New Zealand culture.”
In spite of having played the
songs hundreds of times over the
years, Williams said he never felt
like he was going through the
motions when performing them
READY TO ROCK: Singer Mark Williams, bottom, and his band
Dragon are among a stellar line-up of New Zealand acts set to
play Lincoln in March.
and the crowd’s positive reaction
was a big part of that.
“It’s all about the music, really,
and that mass communication
and that’s the thing that has been
driving me since I was five-yearsold,”
he said.
“If we’re working hard I kind
of expect [the crowd] to work
hard as well back at me.”
Williams said that the band
was likely to turn its attention
to working on some new music
soon after Selwyn Sounds.
With the band members,
which also include Todd Hunter,
Bruce Reid and Pete Drummond,
scattered around New South
Wales, Australia, and with several
hours driving time between
them, they made full use of
modern technology when writing
new music – often emailing
audio recordings back and forth
for each to add their own touch.
“We are way overdue for the
next lot of songs and I think this
one is going to be an album,”
Williams said.
Williams had a successful solo
career before Dragon, with hits
including Yesterday Was Just The
Beginning of My Life and Show
No Mercy, and he didn’t rule out
performing a song or two from
those years at Selwyn Sounds
either.
Asked whether there was a
chance he might pop down to
play at Lincoln’s Famous Grouse
Hotel after the gig he laughed
and said “you never know.”
“If there is something interesting
happening or someone from
the town that we are in says ‘go
down and check out this band’
or whatever you will often find
me and the drummer will be
there – not so much Todd or
Bruce,” he said.
“With a bit of cajoling, if somebody
asks us I am sure we would
more than oblige.”
•Selwyn Sounds will be held
on March 4, from 11.30am-
8.30pm. Tickets can be
purchased via Ticketek and
buyers will be able to prepurchase
a return bus ride
between pick-up points in

Finding a new family in the
During Labour Weekend, almost 50 Aussies visited Canterbury to
play airsoft – a combat sport which is banned in Australia. Reporter
Gabrielle Stuart donned camouflage and joined the tournament to find
out more about the sport
SUITED UP: Reporter Gabrielle Stuart spent three days with
Australian airsoft squads visiting Canterbury for a local military
adventure group event.
LYING WITH my face in the
dirt, a few branches my only
cover from the projectiles I could
hear whizzing overhead, I had
only one thought in my mind:
Why on earth did I sign up for
this?
Then my squad commander
signalled me forward, and I was
up and running – incomprehensibly,
toward the enemy guns,
not away from them.
At 11am it was already hot,
and dressed head to toe in full
combat gear, carrying weapons
and equipment as we sprinted,
my camo shirt was already sticking
to my back.
As we dropped into cover
and fired back at the enemy, my
heart was racing and adrenaline
pumping. It no longer felt like a
game.
This was my first introduction
to airsoft.
Two days earlier, I’d had only a
vague idea of what it was: Something
like paintball, but played
with BB guns in army costumes.
So when I was offered a
chance to take part in a threeday
airsoft event I happily put
my hand up, with no idea what I
was in for.
Parking my small Honda Jazz
at Magland on Friday morning,
where it was dwarfed in a row of
trucks and military vehicles, was
my first clue I might be out of my
depth.
Rows of military-style tents
were set up in the field there, and
people were wandering about
in full combat-style camouflage
gear, with very real-looking
weapons.
I resisted the urge to turn my
car around and flee.
I was quickly suited up
and bunked down with the
Australian contingent. There
were 48 Australians there,
some regular players who
travelled to New Zealand events
every year, and many completely
new to it.
My squadron leaders, Josh
McKenzie and Cal Chataway,
were the first two Australian
players to travel to Christchurch
to play in an airsoft tournament
four years ago.
They came because airsoft
guns are banned in Australia,
so the sport there is essentially
illegal, Josh told me.
He said the first experience
being hit wasn’t much fun: “I was
like, oh, alright, where’s the ‘soft’
part?”
But the experience had left him
hooked, he said.
“It’s the outdoors, the
teamwork, these guys are all
fantastic. Getting to have a go
with the guns. The fun of doing
something that’s illegal in your
country. The experience that I’ve
had here has always made me
want to come back,” he said.
But Josh and Cal returned the
next year and brought friends,
and since then their numbers
have grown every year.
Josh, who in Australia works
as a bartender and computer
technician, has been inspired by
his airsoft experience to study
to become a licensed armourer,
qualified to manage weapons or
special effects for film or television.
The other players came from
a huge variety of ages and
backgrounds. Some had army
or police training, and others
were gamers. There were some in
their teens, and some with white
beards, and all kinds of builds
and fitness levels.
While the Australians were
all blokes, several Kiwi girls
played, and were lethal with their
weapons.

midst of armed combat
The first day we ran through
training, going through safety
procedures, practicing with our
guns, and running through
group exercises. By the end of the
day my muscles were aching.
But nothing could prepare me
for the first battle.
Our goal was to take a village,
which was being defended by
Kiwi troops.
I was part of an air contingent,
which would arrive by helicopter
to attack from one side of the
field while ground troops came
in from the other.
My squad of five would be the
first to arrive.
As we circled overhead in the
chopper, we could see the size of
the enemy force. We were well
outnumbered, outgunned, and
would be stuck out in the open.
The sound of the chopper
blades was deafening as we
landed, and they pushed clouds
of dust into the air as we ran for
cover.
Our orders were to wait after
we landed until back-up arrived,
but as we landed we could see our
forces already attacking from the
other side of the village.
That meant there was no time
to wait or catch our breath – we
were off the chopper and running
straight at the enemy.
I don’t know how I didn’t get
shot in those first few minutes,
but somehow we made it to the
village, and started moving from
building to building, finally in
range and able to return enemy
fire.
And if ducking shots wasn’t
enough to keep us on edge,
explosions and clouds of smoke
rose from buildings we ran
through, as pyrotechnics planted
there were lit up.
At one point one exploded
inside a building I was pressed up
against for cover. The sound was
absolutely deafening.
RIVALRY: Australian and New Zealand teams faced off several
times during the weekend, and the rivalry was fierce.
PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN
It couldn’t have been 15 minutes
before all the enemy troops
had either been hit or retreated,
and we had control of the village
– but I was absolutely exhausted.
And that was only the start.
We were loaded up into the
back of military trucks to head
to our next battle that afternoon,
and then out for a night mission
in the dark that evening.
The highlights included being
able to sit up front in a Land-
Rover and fire the fully automatic
gun mounted up on the passenger
side. As an easy target I
was shot and out of the match
within two minutes, but those
two minutes of spraying enemy
troops with pellets and watching
them scatter made it completely
worthwhile.
The biggest challenge was the
running. After several hours of
sprinting, then dropping to the
ground for cover, then sprinting
again, I was ready to give up. The
only thing keeping me going was
my commanders roaring behind
me: “Run, soldiers, or I’ll shoot
you myself!”
By the time we got back to
camp sometime after midnight,
falling into my lumpy stretcher
bed felt like a luxury, and I was

scenarios.
asleep too fast to be bothered by
the snoring of my squadron.
Over the weekend, I met some
of the local players, too.
Event organiser Noel Jane said
the Christchurch airsoft club was
one of the oldest in the country,
and had about 40 regular players.
He began playing about 10
years ago, and said it had attracted
him because it was tactical,
active and something a bit
different.
“Run, soldiers, or I’ll
shoot you myself!”
Although it was an adult-only
sport, it was something all kinds
of people could play, he said.
“It’s one of the few sports I’ve
seen where a father can go out
and play with his son and give
him a good kicking. It’s a social
sport, the airsoft community is
a great community, and it’s good
stress release and good for your
health, it gets you outside, motivated,”
he said.
Although I was exhausted,
somehow by the end of the weekend
I had become addicted, and I
didn’t want to stop.
They were right when they said
being hit with the biodegradable
pellets wouldn’t hurt much.Aside
from one hit I took on the knuckle,
I barely felt most of them.
It wasn’t until I got home I
realised I was covered in so many
small bruises I looked like a
dalmatian.
My only comfort was I had
left plenty of other players with
bruises, too.
The rivalry between the Australian
and New Zealand teams
was fierce, but my Aussie teammates
proved themselves bloody
good blokes.
After three days fighting together,
bunking down together,
sharing rations and swapping
war stories, we felt like family.
But in spite of my loyalty to my
squad, I have to admit feeling a
bit of pride in my Kiwi countrymen
on the occasions when they
outsmarted the Aussies.
The Australians were absolutely
fearless, their teamwork was
awesome, and some of them were
masters with their weapons.
But when it came to navigating
the bush, they were more likely to
take themselves out than anyone
else, and when on “silent” patrol
they sounded like a stampede.
There were plenty of complaints
about New Zealand’s
“predator” plants: gorse and
blackberries. The players who
got tangled or sat on them complained
they would prefer snakes.
Several Aussie squads got
completely lost. One commander
managed to lose all his troops
and wander into the crossfire in a
battle between two New Zealand
squads, where all he could do was
hide under a pile of branches and
cross his fingers until they moved
on.
So if there was one thing useful
thing I took from the weekend, it
was this:
They may have a much bigger
army, but if the Australians ever
do decide to invade New Zealand
we have nothing to worry about.
Even if they don’t get lost in the
bush, we’ll hear them coming
from miles away.

Our People
Willowbank zookeeper’s mission
From a lion in his ute cab to an otter in his
kitchen cupboard, animals have invaded
every part of Mike Willis’ life. The founder of
Willowbank Wildlife Reserve and the South
Island Wildlife Hospital, which is about to
celebrate it’s two-year anniversary, spoke to
Gabrielle Stuart
So take me right back to the
beginning. Where did your love
of animals start?
When I was very, very small,
I read a lot of books on animals
and spent a lot of time in the
high country and loved the wildlife,
so that goes way back. Right
back into my early childhood,
I always wanted to work with
animals.
What was your first pet?
It would have been a dog I
think. I’ve always had a dog. But
I kept a lot of birds, wild birds
and all sorts, possums too.
So you were determined to
work with animals – what did
you do?
There was no work with animals
in New Zealand then, so I
worked with animals overseas.
Most of my work was in Britain,
but I travelled and worked in
Europe and Africa. Some people
go from cathedral to cathedral,
I went from zoo to zoo. I came
back and bought the land for
Willowbank in 1968. I didn’t
have any money, so I went down
and was working with wildlife
in Te Anau. After a couple of
years, I came back and started
to develop the land as a wildlife
park, and a couple of years later,
got into a stage where it was only
just acceptable to open, but we
opened it in 1974.
How different were zoos back
then?
Very. In the old days if you
could shovel manure into a
wheelbarrow, you were employable
for this sort of work. Nowadays,
people are highly-skilled,
and the reasoning is different.
Back then you used to keep
animals as public entertainment,
now it has changed considerably.
Conservation and advocacy are

two strong rationales now for
this kind of work. When I first
started Willowbank, I wanted a
zoo like I had seen overseas, with
lions and tigers and elephants.
Having an elephant was the ultimate
to put on top of the cake,
so to speak. But obviously the
rationale was very weak, because
there is no conservation value in
breeding exotic animals in New
Zealand because you can’t find
a home for them. So the focus
changed to animals, both introduced
and native on the verge of
extinction. Our focus is the total
New Zealand experience that fits
New Zealand.

to protect animals in the wild
Obviously being a zookeeper
is a dream for many kids, who
imagine hours of playing with
animals. But it’s harder work
than that, isn’t it?
It’s difficult work, yes. Particularly
in a place like ours – our
staff have to be multifunctional,
very impressive people. (They’re)
highly qualified, but also physically
fit to cover long distances
and do a lot of manual work like
landscaping, and outside in all
weathers. That is often the worst
thing, because it can be pouring
with rain or freezing cold
or snowing, but the worse the
weather, the more time you have
to spend with your charges to
make sure they’re okay.
And you must have worked
with some amazing animals.
Heaps of them. The main one
that stands out would have to be
the chimpanzees. You can’t help
but be affected by those animals
when you’re working with them.
We had a male chimp, Charlie,
who I had a particular bond
with, and it’s a bond that’s quite
disturbing and difficult, actually.
What do you mean by that?
Well, you’re dealing with an
animal with intelligence on an
emotional level, which is equivalent
to a human, but you’ve got
them locked away in a cage. And
you try to do your best for them,
but it can never be good enough.
You go through the emotional
highs and lows with them and,
if they get sick or if there’s a
death in the troop, then you go
through the grieving process.
There must be a lot of
laughter, too?
Yes, there are constantly funny
escapades when working with
animals and often from the
most unlikely quarters. They get
naughty and they’re often quite
a bit ahead of you, so you’ve got
to be quick on your feet to keep
ahead of them. You obviously
have animals in the house when
they’re sick. Not so much now,
but we did in the early days. So
you’d have lions or monkeys in
the house and that’s chaos. You’d
get an otter in the pot cupboard,
chucking the pots out. You get
monkeys escaping in vet surgeries
and throwing instruments
around the place, or I had lions
waking up from surgery when
I was halfway home with them,
so they’re sitting up in the front
cab of the truck with you, crazy
things like that. Things have
changed a lot since then.
Did your family ever tell you
to get a real job?
My mother was very understanding,
but my father couldn’t
get his head around it at all.
With all the animals around,
your family sort of grows up
with it. People do look at you a
bit strangely, but for us it was
pretty normal.
And the South Island
Wildlife Hospital – how big a
challenge was that to get off the
ground?
It took a long time – two or
three years working as a trust to
get the hospital up and running.
What kinds of animals do
you work with?
Most of them are birds, just
because that’s what New Zealand
has got, although we get the odd
reptile. Most larger things like
seals are handled by the (Department
of Conservation). And
we’re native species focused.
You were recognised last
year as a member of the New
Zealand Order of Merit for
your work in conservation. Did
that take you by surprise?
Very much by surprise. It was
lovely, but I regret that recognition
didn’t really reflect on other
people involved in the things
it was given for, because it was
never just one person. But it was
a great honour.
CARE: The South Island
Wildlife Hospital is about to
celebrate its second year in
operation.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
And you’ve published a book?
I enjoy writing. Right back
from when I was a wee boy on
trips deer hunting, I used to
write about the trips or what
happened at the park and that
morphed into a book.
I’m intrigued you say
hunting – it’s not something
you’d usually link with
conservationists is it?
I did a lot of hunting when
I was younger. And actually a
lot of conservationists come
from a hunting background. I
don’t hunt now but those skills
still keep me in good stead. I’m
actually about to head down to
Fiordland, choppering down
there to find a rare pig and that’s
basically hunting – we just don’t
kill them.
So no plans to slow down
then?
Absolutely not. It’s not work
for me, it’s what I do. I say I’ve
never worked in my life, because
I wake up in the morning and all
I want to do is go play with the
animals, it’s as simple as that.

Commitment to safety
THE SEVERITY of the
widespread damage caused by
the Canterbury earthquake
sequence meant things had
to be done differently and
innovatively.
Last Friday, I was showed
around Shag Rock Reserve and
Deans Head sites, where Land
Information New Zealand is
making the cliff face safe.
LINZ and its contractors have
made brilliant progress with the
use of world-class technology.
The Port Hills residential red
zone covers 114ha, with 620
properties purchased by the
Crown after the earthquakes.
In spite of facing challenging
and dangerous conditions,
more than 55 per cent of sites
now have been cleared and
LINZ is on track to meet its
target of having all demolitions
completed by 2018.
The work being carried out in
the Port Hills has been recognised
internationally, with
LINZ, Protranz Earth Moving
Limited, Aurecon and RCP
recently nominated for seven
awards at the World Demolition
Summit.
Their commitment to safety
should not be underestimated.
Even with more than 165,000

zones.
hours spent on hundreds of
hazardous sites, there have been
no serious injuries or deaths.
This is a terrific achievement
and reflects the hard work and
careful planning that has gone
into the clearance programme.
A mix of well-tested processes
and innovative solutions have
contributed to the pace and
strong safety record of these
Gerry Brownlee
projects. New technology has
been used to overcome the difficulties
that come with the Port
Hills residential red zones.
The only remote-controlled
excavators in the world have
been operating in the Port Hills,
developed in response to the
particular geotechnical risks
faced in the Port Hills.
Drones to view and assess
risks on sites and virtual reality
technology allow workers to see
3D images of sites for planning
and hazard assessment – along
with advanced geo-modelling
techniques to estimate rockfall
hazards – have all contributed
to the speed and safety of the
Port Hills red zone work.
I’m proud of the work being
carried out in the Port Hills red
zones and looking forward to
when the area is safe and accessible
again.

We said:
The Anglican Diocese
could demolish all or part of
the Christ Church Cathedral
without public consultation
- if it has a plan to rebuild or
restore it.
You said:
Julie Broerse – The vast
majority of the building is still
standing it’s hardly demolished.
Restoration could have been
complete by now if they had just
got on and done it. Cathedral
Square would be a lot further
ahead if that had happened.
Pamela Neil – As a former
member of the congregations of St
Mary’s and the Cathedral, I was
thoroughly disgusted and
sickened when I returned to
Christchurch earlier this month
to see that after six-plus years,
both buildings are gone or might
as well be. Knox Church is rebuilt
and looks great. St Barnabas is
coming along. The Cathedral in
Barbados St is being rebuilt but
it is obvious that the Church of
England community don’t give a
rats. I spent many years attending
church services at St Mary’s, was
married there and my children
were baptised there. Nothing left
now but a pile of bricks. Who ever
is making the decisions here needs
to be sacked, first to go should be
the Bishop.

Jon Mitchell – There has
been enough, probably too
much talk. It is now time to
move on, take down the current
eyesore, design a sensible
replacement, and get on with it.
Lyn Duleck – Sick of
hearing these do-gooders

time someone made the

or the church gets the money
together to fix it.
Kirsty Tovey – Just do

IT SOMETIMES feels like
the Saturday night Powerball
draw when MPs talk about
the luck of the biscuit tin.
It is a lottery of sorts, but
not with the chance to win a
million dollars. It’s the chance
that of all the ideas that individual
members want to see
debated in Parliament with
the possibility to become law,
yours will be drawn.
Members’ Bills are not part
of the Government’s current
programme. They’re Bills
drafted up by individual MPs,
generally about issues that
they are passionate about
or strongly feel will make
a difference in their wider
community.
My Bill to have all the
positions on the Canterbury
Regional Council (ECan)
elected by fellow Cantabrians
was drawn last week.
In 2010 the National Government
sacked our democratically
elected council. We
were meant to have elections
in 2013, but these were cancelled
too.
A few weeks ago we all got
to vote for some of the people
to make up a new council –
but not all of them.
Your land. Your people. Your stories.
Six years after the sacking
of our council the Government
still does not trust us to
elect our own council.
Now, while seven members
are elected, six are appointed
by the Government. There
is nowhere else in the
country where this happens.
Nick Smith has called this
the “mixed-model” of
democracy. I think this is
ridiculous.
We don’t have half a
democracy in this country.
I’ve always thought it a bit
rich that any politician, who
is elected to their job, thinks
that they can cancel elections
for others!
Now that we have just had
elections, there will need to
be some updating at select
committee.
With six elected
councillors in place, it seems
sensible to me that the
elections would only be for

the Government appointed

I’m hopeful that there will
be enough support for my
bill to pass its’ first reading
and go to select committee
where the public can have
their say.
I’d like to see all Canterbury
MPs, regardless of their
political stripes, vote in
favour of their region and
a return to democratic
representation.
The day after the Bill was
drawn, Nick Smith publicly
stated that Canterbury is
not ready to return to full

Police are
projecting
stolen gun
figures will top
about 220 this
financial year
on the back
of demand
from the
underworld.
Criminals
target
firearms
• By Andrew King
LATEST STATISTICS show more guns
are being stolen in Canterbury to feed the
criminal underworld.
More than 60 guns have been stolen in
the financial year from June, with police
projecting that figure will jump to 220.
Inspector Corrie Parnell confirmed
there is a huge demand from the criminal
underworld to get their hands on firearms.
“We know that the criminal world drives
the demand for these weapons,” he said.
Between the 2010/11 and 2015/16 financial
years there were 289 guns stolen in
Canterbury. They vary from high calibre
rifles, shotguns and pistols.
In July The Star reported demand for
firearms, particularly pistols, was so high
that criminals were paying up to $1000 for
them.
Canterbury has one gun per 270 people
based on 2168 licences issued in 2015 and
the population topping 586,400.
An offender task force was set up in
February to combat the top two per cent of
criminals committing the top 20 per cent
of crime in and around Christchurch.
It is made up of 35 officers who combat
gangs and hardened criminals who commit
a large proportion of crime in the city.
To date they have seized 120 firearms,
10,196 rounds, 1426gm of synthetic cannabis,
126gm of methamphetamine, 1900
cannabis plants, 6691gm of dry cannabis
and $225,046 cash.
Superintendent John Price said he
believes the task force is recovering the
majority of stolen weapons.
“Guns are pretty hard to steal when they
are stored properly . . . if they are being
stolen from rural properties I would suggest
they are not being stored correctly,” he
said.
Canterbury has the sixth highest recorded
gun theft rate in the country behind
Waikato (415), Central (316), Bay of Plenty
(316), Northland (294) and Southern (293).
Offender task force results since
February 13, 2016:
•133 searches of people, vehicles
and property
•120 guns recovered
•10,196 rounds recovered
•1426gm of synthetic cannabis
seized
•126gm of methamphetamine seized
•1900 cannabis plants seized
•6691gm of dry cannabis seized

Heroes in the sun
Rachel Vogan says geraniums flourish in the
heat and can make colour statements in a
range of garden areas
UP UNTIL very recently I have
loved to loath old-fashioned types
of geraniums.
You know the ones – with that
hideous smell, which makes
some people sneeze or gag. The
intensity stemmed from my
childhood, when Nana had them
planted all over her garden on
the dry, barren clay banks of her
garden at the head of Akaroa
Harbour.
Every time a friend would
pop over and admire her garden
they would be sent home with a
pile of cuttings, often including
geraniums. As her apprentice,
she would ask me to hold them,
but the aroma would give me a
sneezing fit and seemed to linger
on my fingers for hours. But I
sucked it up, as I adored my nana.
Last season, however, I did a
massive U-turn. I started growing
geraniums in pots and in parts
of the garden that struggle to get
enough water and attention –
basically in areas the hose doesn’t
reach and in which the soil is so
barren and hard I can’t get a fork
in. And they flourished, so much
so I am now a convert – as long as
I do not need to go near them or
touch them, we get on just fine.
Geraniums are one of the most
widely grown and highly regarded
flowers in the world. Little else
can match them for durability and
flower power throughout the year,
blooming for over nine months,
and in some cases in a sheltered
spot all year round.
Plant breeders have gone mad
and bred piles and piles of new
hybrid varieties. Many flower for
longer, have brighter-coloured
blooms, the growth habits are
more compact and they seem to
be more disease resistant as well.
Many also self-clean, so that when
the flowers finish, the old blooms
just fall off and new flower stems
appear. These geraniums thrive
in sunny, dry spots, and are ideal
for those of us who may forget to
water their pots.

Blueberries
If you love to pick and eat fresh, have you
tried growing your own blueberries?
We have all heard of blueberries, but what a
lot of us do not know is that they are easy to
grow. Blueberries are a wonder food and are a
fantastic addition to the garden whether you
grow them as specimen plants, in containers,
or as a low hedge.
Blueberry Swirl – A self-fertile plant, meaning
the flowers can be fertilised with their own
pollen. Many varieties of blueberries require
the presence of another variety for pollination
and fruit set. ‘Swirl’ is a late-season rabbit-eye
blueberry, with flowers and fruit coming after
most other varieties. It is also more heat and
drought tolerant and the fruit are tasty and
sweet.
Blueberry Delight – One of the most
attractive, vigorous and high-yielding
southern high-bush varieties. The summer
fruit are medium to large sky-blue berries
with a sweet and spicy flavour. The bright
blue-green foliage provides a perfect contrast
to the pink and white spring flowers. This
variety enjoys cool nights and yields best
when planted with other varieties.
rapidly in the last two weeks of ripening.
Lack of water can mean a poor crop and dark,
undersized berries.
While blueberries are resistant to most
diseases, it is prudent to spray to prevent
mildew and cover them to protect the
ripening berries from birds. The plants are
hardy to minus four degrees, although frost
will damage flowers.
Knowing how to prune blueberries is
important, because fruit is borne on last
season’s wood and the most vigorous wood
bears the largest fruit. The flower buds that
will produce next year’s crop develop on the
outer part of this year’s growth in late summer
as stems mature. Minimum pruning consists
of the removal of dead or damaged wood and
any weak growth or twiggy old branches.
Remove some of the oldest branches after
four to five years to encourage new growth.
While light pruning is possible year around,
winter is the best time for heavy pruning.

BELOW Geranium
purpureum
5 WAYS TO USE GERANIUMS
1. Patio pots, planters and window boxes.
They thrive as container plants and, in most
regions, flower from October until winter
knocks on the door in June.
2. En masse. Create colourful bedding
displays. Allow 50cm between plants.
3. Hanging baskets. The tumbling and
ground-hugging varieties make brilliant
basket cases. Make sure the basket has
plenty of root room.
4. Walls of colour. Look for the climbing
varieties to cover banks and walls in cloaks of
colour. Initially, they may need support to help
them cling.
5. Indoor plants. Every now and again, rinse
them under the hose or shower to freshen
up the leaves and they will more than likely
bloom all year round.
TREAT THEM MEAN
Sounds terrible, but the less you feed
geraniums, in terms of fertiliser, the better
they seem to bloom. Therefore not a lot of
extra food is required.
GERANIUMS FOR FREE
Geraniums easily root from cuttings or
snippets taken from plants. Simply remove
the lower leaves and place into a glass of
water or pottle of seed-raising mix and within
four to six weeks roots will appear.

Pluck the tips out of new plants to encourage
more side branching. These tips can be used
as cuttings.

Numerous types of geraniums exist, well over
400 species; a few include ivy, zonal, regal,
cranesbill and numerous cultivars and named
hybrids.

Gardening Advice
with
Congratulations!
Today’s winning question came from Wendy Higgison,
who received a Daltons Tomato Prize Pack.
QUESTION
I love sweet peas. What is the best fertiliser when planting and during growth? Would it
be best to use liquid feed?
ANSWER
Sweet peas are a lovely addition to any garden and can
be grown from either seed or seedlings, depending on
your preference. They are not gross feeders, so normal
soil preparation prior to planting is usually sufficient for
strong healthy growth and free flowering. This includes
incorporating Daltons Compost into the existing soil to
ensure good drainage during the growing period (sweet
peas do not like overly wet soil). Over fertilising with high
nitrogen fertiliser can lead to excessive vegetative growth
and reduced flowering.
Sweet peas grow best in a sheltered, warm site. Before
planting seeds or young plants, put a frame or structure
in place to support the vigorous growing sweet peas.
This also helps provide a better sequence of flowering.
As the young plants grow, attach them to your frame so
they are not destroyed by strong winds.
You can apply the occasional side dressing of Daltons
Goldcote Rose & Flower Fertiliser throughout the
growing season and water it in well.

The start of a blooming garden
THE JOY of spring is that there
are plenty of jobs to do in the
garden, especially now the soil
is warming up.
Towards the end of October,
early season varieties of strawberries
will begin to ripen.
Check plants regularly for signs
of grey mould (botrytis), and
remove any affected leaves and
fruit. Add pea straw, hay or
clean bark mulch around the
plants to provide a clean ‘nest’
for developing strawberries.
Raspberries, boysenberries,
loganberries and blackberries
should be growing at a very fast
rate as we move through the
month. Train canes on a wall
or a wire framework. It may
be necessary to remove some
surplus canes where growth
is exceptional. Mulch with
compost to suppress weeds and
conserve soil moisture, and
fruit and berry fertiliser.
Lawns are now in very active
growth and require regular
mowing. Fertilise with lawn
fertiliser and repeat every four
to six weeks. This is the last
month for ‘easy’ laying of a new
lawn or for patching and existing
lawn.

It’s a great time to plant up

Summer annuals that thrive

SIGNATURE: Café Pushkin is a classic aristocratic haunt evoking the spirit of the Tsarist times. The eclectic market of Arbat St.
Mix of old and new in Russia’s capital
• By Mike Yardley
GAZING ACROSS the striking
Moscow skyline on a breezy
October morning, Vera, my local
Trafalgar specialist remarked:
“You can feel the breast of winter.”
With the mercury barely making
double digits, autumn’s chill
was a salutary reminder of why
you wouldn’t want to be visiting
Moscow in the depths of winter,
when daytime temperatures can
crater to -30 deg C. But suitably
wrapped up, stepping out to
sample Moscow’s metropolitan
verve soon becomes as invigorating
as the weather.
The Russian capital certainly
hasn’t clung on to the stultifying
days of the Soviet Union. But
powerful symbols of its turbulent
past intermingle with the brash
and flashy to create a multilayered
metropolis, plunging
full-speed ahead.
Moscow’s search for its 21stcentury
identity is complex,
evolving and riveting. From Stalin’s
carved-marble metro stations
to the glittering new skyscrapers,
Moscow has never stopped
flaunting its ambition.
And the metro stations are an
experiential must, a rolling museum
of socialist realism, a style of
art developed in the Soviet Union
with a glorified depiction of communist
values. Vera led us on an
alluring metro tour, where station
after station is lavishly bedecked
in intricate mosaics, stained glass,
majestic pillars, sparkling chandeliers
and bronze statues.
They all trumpet the prestige

propaganda. Russia may have
moved on, but these Soviet vestiges
probably never will. Mayakovskaya,
clad in pink and cream
marble, was my favourite.
Post-communism, vast tracts of
the city centre have been pedestrianised,
delightfully atmospheric
spaces to stroll freely, marvelling
at the architecture and the
street theatre. A star specimen is
Arbat St, which is where Russian
aristocracy settled in the 19thcentury.
Many of the nobles’ mansions
have been restored, including
those of some of the nation’s finest
composers and writers, like Alexander
Pushkin. (His blue house
now hosts the Pushkin Museum.)
Arbat’s eclectic street market
brims with portrait painters, great
art, soapbox poets and engaging
buskers. And there’s a hive
of splendid souvenir stores to
get your fill of Faberge eggs and
Matryoshka dolls.
CONTRAST: One of Stalin’s seven sisters.
Pause by the Wall of Peace, an
edifice covered with hundreds of
hand-painted tiles, all expounding
the pursuit of international
friendship.
At the end of Arbat, I stopped
in jaw-dropped awe of one of Stalin’s
Seven Sisters, the monstrous
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Built in 1947 to commemorate
Moscow’s 800th anniversary,
these wedding-cake style behemoths
stamped Stalin’s enduring
mark on Moscow’s skyline. (The
eighth sister is in Warsaw.)
Like the metro stations, the
conspicuous lack of litter is a
constant across the city centre.
Singapore would be impressed.
When you’re seeking some
Russian retail therapy, savour the
Louvre-like splendour of GUM
Department Store, built in 1890,
an enormous emporium of designer
stores and food outlets.
Don’t miss Gastronom No.1, a
gourmet deli bursting with nostalgic
Russian foods and gourmet
delicacies including a dizzying
range of caviar.
Moscow’s culinary scene caters
to every imaginable fancy, but
here’s some unmissable signatures.
Café Pushkin is an absolute
classic, an aristocratic haunt
which used to be the only eatery
that served European standard
food, and where you could talk
freely without being disturbed
by the roaming ears of the KGB’s
flunkies.
Now serving Russian and
French cuisine, it evokes the spirit
of Tsarist times. Built in 1825, the
guest list is studded with a litany
of luminaries, from Bill Clinton
to Meryl Streep. Painstakingly
renovated to late-Tsarist splendour,
the waiters are dressed in
period attire and the food – beef
stroganoff, perfectly prepared
fish, and pelmeni dumplings – is
divine.
Another old-school charmer
is Café Chekhov, elaborately
decorated in Art Nouveau style.
Serving “new Russian’ cuisine,
try their version of borsch with
apples in it.
Bar Strelka is the headquarters
of Moscow’s hipster parade,
attached to the Strelka Design
Institute, a former industrial area
that’s now a creative hub of galleries,
bars and offices. You’ll love
Bar Strelka’s roof terrace for its
skyline views, while you nibble on
the share plates.
A nostalgic Soviet relic is the
image of a young girl in a
headscarf. It still adorns the packaging
of Red October chocolate
which has been in business since
1861. You can see their original
factory in Strelka.
Moscow’s nightlife scene is
pulsating, but you’ll struggle to
get into the glamour clubs, unless
you’re a 1.8m blonde in a mini
skirt, with legs like a giraffe. But a
cracking nightspot is the rooftophugging
O2 Lounge of the Ritz-
Carlton, which overlooks Red
Square all aglow.
It’s just the perch for a drinkable
version of a Molotov cocktail.

Theatre/Arts
From comedy to tragedy for director
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
SKILLED IN bringing the house
down, Daniel Pengelly has been
involved with The Court Jesters
for about 12 years.
Now in his role as associate
director at The Court Theatre,
he has branched out from his
comedy background to produce
a thought-provoking production
of The Events written by David
Greig.
Pengelly (let) will direct the
show, which has been
influenced by the mass
murder of 77 people
in Norway by Anders
Behring Breivik in
2011.
Pengelly, 29, said it
has been one of the
hardest projects he had
done as an associate director but
one of the most satisfying.
“I have been scared of this for
months, but also really excited,”
he said.
The Events tells the story of
a community choir director
searching for answers ater a
young man came into her choir
and shot several of the members.
“For me, it opens up this
global issue that is happening in
America. It is trying to open up
questions and asking why. Why
in this society are they producing
these young men who will
go and do these horrific things?
How did they get so disconnected
from their community?”
Pengelly said.
The show will also feature 13
choirs from around Canterbury.
Pengelly said the choirs will
perform about seven songs in the
show but they have not seen the
script.
“At some points they are performers
and stand up and sing,
and at other points they are the
audience. They haven’t read it so
they are experiencing it for the
first time,” he said.
Pengelly started performing at
The Court Theatre when he was
13. The only time he has been
away was to study his masters in
theatre arts (directing) from Toi
Whakaari and Victoria University
of Wellington.
As well as holding a masters,
Pengelly studied cookery at Ara
Institute of Canterbury and commerce
at Canterbury University,
which, he says, has helped him
make some of his best artistic
decisions as an associate director.
He said the reason he had
stayed at The Court Theatre
for so long was because of the
diversity of work he gets to do
compared to other theatres.
“We will do a famous musical
off West End and then next to it
we will do a kids show written
by a Christchurch writer for
Christchurch kids,” he said.
Next up, Pengelly will be going
back to his grassroots of comedy
and children’s theatre to direct
the play Robin Hood as part of
the city council’s SummerTimes
programme.
•The Events will run at
The Court Theatre from
Saturday to November 12. To

SPREADING HER WINGS: Jaime Spencer (left and above)
is hoping to take the modelling world by storm as she
prepares to walk at New York Fashion Week (below).
Lincoln model New York-bound
• By Annabelle Dick
NEW YORK Fashion Week
is one of the most prestigious
fashion events in the world,
showcasing high-profile
designers and exclusive
models – and now Lincoln’s
Jaime Spencer will get to walk
amongst them.
Miss Spencer, 19, is one of six
New Zealand and Australian
models who have been handpicked
through the Ozlink
fashion programme to walk in
several NYFW shows.
“We’re walking for international
designers with international
models and it’s such a
massive opportunity,” she said.
“I don’t even know how to
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
describe it – it’s still sinking in
a wee bit. I still cry every time I
speak about it.”
Miss Spencer will spend 10
days in New York taking part
in the major international
Amit Singh Chauhan show,
two boutique shows and two
realway shows.
She will also partake in a city
and studio photo shoot with a
professional fashion photographer.
“Having this work in my
portfolio will look really good.
This could literally kick start a
whole career and that’s the best
part about it,” she said.
Miss Spencer has been
modelling for three years after
trying a modelling course with
Portfolio.
Now with NZ Models &
Talent, she credits owner Kelly
Morrison with helping her get
the NYFW opportunity.
Standing at the shorter end
of the modelling spectrum at
1.73m, she said her height has
been an issue.
“I’m classed as a petite model,
but I’ll still get the chance to
strut my stuff and show them
what I’m worth and that I can
do this,” she said.
Miss Spencer is studying
towards a Bachelor of Criminal
Justice at Canterbury University.
The Lincoln local is a sporty,
rural girl who admits she didn’t
see herself getting this far.
“It’s quite funny – a small
country girl getting such a big
opportunity,” she said.
She hopes to get scouted
while overseas and combine
her love of modelling with a
career in criminal justice.
“Modelling has always been
that dream that every girl has
had but never really follows
through on. I wouldn’t mind
being the next Gigi Hadid with
a criminal law degree,” she
said.
There’s still some work to do
to get to the United States as
she needs sponsorship for the
expensive trip. Get in touch
with Miss Spencer at jay_spee@

New York.

Watch the A380 arrive
from runway viewing area
THE DAY Christchurch
plane-spotters have been waiting
for is nearly here.
Monday, October 31, will
see the 1.45pm arrival of the
first scheduled A380 aircraft at
Christchurch Airport, ahead of
an on-going daily service.
To give as many people as possible
the best view of the inaugural
arrival, the airport will open a
special viewing area for that day
only.
The airport’s chief aeronautical
and commercial officer Justin
Watson says the grassed area opposite
the main runway will offer
hundreds of people the chance to
park up to witness, film and photograph
the landing at 1.45pm.
“We’ve dubbed it ‘plane-spotters’
park,’ because we are very
aware of aviation enthusiasts’
excitement at this spectacular
aircraft flying in here that day,
and every day afterwards,” he
says.
“We’ll open plane-spotters’
park at 11am and close it after
the double-decker aircraft departs
at 6.45pm.
“This will be the best area
from which to see the plane. Two
other roads people sometimes
park on near the terminal will be
closed that day to help us manage
expected traffic flows and
keep everyone safe, so I suggest
people check the map to get to
plane-spotters’ park.
“That viewing area will be accessed
from Pound Rd and we’ll
have traffic management signs
and staff on the roads leading to
it, to assist everyone to get to the
area safely.”

It’s time to stop
gutter clutter
Dare-devil
children get
hearts racing
MY eldest daughter
turned seven last
week and overnight,
it seems, she took
a definite leap into
the growing-up
department.
She’s recently
discovered a love for speed and
adrenalin, she was particularly rapt to
receive a new pair of roller blades.
She’s definitely her father’s daughter
when it comes to climbing, jumping and
outdoor pursuits. She’s taken to climbing
trees as high as she can possibly go;
flipping and bouncing herself all over
the trampoline; and swinging on and off
the monkey bars like a budding trapeze
artist.
Her latest conquest, however, pushed
my nerves to the limit. I walked into
the garden at the exact time she had
launched herself off the garage roof and
into (safely, thank goodness) the spongycreeper-vine-bed
below. Even though it
provided a soft landing, it gave me the
fright of my life to see such precious
cargo take a running jump off the top of
a single-storey building.
Her face was a picture of both
exhilaration and surprise once she
realised she’d landed it safely, and she
immediately hopped up to repeat her
feat.
I cut her off at the chase and found
myself lecturing her on the potential for
broken bones and consequences of casts.
In spite her protests, I strongly advised
that she reconsider her options the
next time she thought it a good idea to
Geronimo herself into thin air, and sent
her to play on the tramp.
To be honest, however, I was quietly
impressed at the level of courage on
display – I’m terribly afraid of heights,
and couldn’t fathom the concept of even
standing on a roof, let alone jumping off
it. Yet this wasn’t about me transferring
my fears onto my daughter – this was my
mama bear instinct kicking in to protect
my (barely) seven-year old child.
Her father, on the other hand, instantly
recognised her chip-off-the-old-block
Melissa McDonnell
mentality, and I could see the cogs
turning as to whether he should issue a
high-five of praise, or otherwise follow
my lead to reiterate the inherent risks
involved.
Known for his dare-devil streak, he
remains a naturally curious fellow and
I suspect he would have been quite
keen for her (and possibly himself) to
have a second crack. Nonetheless, he
put on his dad-hat, and supported me
in the decision to curb this particular
stunt.
We balance each other in this respect
when it comes to raising our children
– he encourages me to challenge my
(sometimes irrational) fears, and I help
him find balance in taking accountable
levels of risk (although there are times
when we struggle to find a happy
medium).
As my seven-year old remains
unimpressed with us pulling the funpolice
card, I think she understands why
we made this decision. Although she’s
believes she’s in tune with what her body
can handle, she actually has no concept
as to how fragile she really is.
But at the end of the day, she’s a strong
character and I know that soon enough
I will have to accept that she’s someone
who is likely to push herself to a point
where a mistake (or break) will serve as
her learning curve.
In that sense, I need to support her
growth in confidence and independence,
and prepare myself for the day when I
will no longer be able to “forbid” her
from doing something, but will rather
have to let go, trust her judgement,
and be there to help if/when she needs
me.
In the meantime, I hope we have seen
an end to this roof-jumping malarkey –
my heart can’t take much more.

dedicated cleaners provide a superior clean

November 14 2016, is Eyes on Diabetes. The
Diabetes Christchurch society’s awareness

the importance of people with diabetes
having a regular retinal screening, regular
appointments with their GP and/or nurse to

family history of diabetes.
Key Messages Are:
1. All people with diabetes should have a
regular retinal screening.
2. Screening for type 2 diabetes is important
to modify its course and reduce the risk of
complications.
3. Screening for diabetes complications is
an essential part of managing type 1 and type
2 diabetes.

Many complications can be
picked up in their early stages
by screening programmes
The earlier a person is diagnosed, the earlier
treatment can be initiated in order to reduce
the risk of harmful and costly complications.
A person can have type 2 diabetes for several
years without showing any symptoms, during
which time high blood glucose is silently
damaging the body. There is therefore an
urgent need to screen, diagnose and provide
appropriate treatments and information to
people with diabetes. Our awareness day will
highlight cost-effective solutions that exist to
help identify people with undiagnosed type 2
diabetes and those at risk of developing it in
the future.
Diabetes is a leading
cause of blindness.
Diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular
disease, blindness, kidney failure and lowerlimb
amputation. Over one third of all
people currently living with type 1 and type 2
diabetes will develop some form of damage to
their eyes that can lead to blindness.
These complications can be prevented or
delayed by maintaining blood glucose, blood
pressure and cholesterol levels as close to
normal as possible. Many complications can
be picked up in their early stages through
screening, so that treatment can be given to
prevent them becoming more serious.
Our Diabetes Christchurch Awareness
Promotions this year highlights the
importance of integrating screening for
diabetes complications into ongoing care
for people living with diabetes. Canterbury’s
DHB diabetes statistics show that there are
20,598 people with known diabetes in the
Canterbury region. People with diabetes
account for 4.1% of the enrolled population.
Maori, Pacific and Indian populations are
more than 50% more likely to have diabetes
than the enrolled population. Approximately
10% have type 1 diabetes and 88% have type
2 diabetes.
These 20,598 people can have either Type 1,
Type 2, Gestational, and another 20,000+ have
Pre-Diabetes (and many of these don’t even
know it). Through local diabetes research
projects and education programmes, people
with diabetes, and their family, friends and
whanau can better understand and better
manage this chronic condition.

Most people with diabetes will get some
retinopathy. If it’s mild it won’t affect your

How mild or severe it becomes depends

DIABETES AWARENESS
The Star
Diabetes can seriously affect your eyes
Diabetes can damage your eyes before you
notice any change in vision. But by picking
up these early signs of diabetic eye damage
and getting them treated, you can reduce the
chance of serious damage. When diabetic eye
damage is more severe it can be irreversible
and there is a risk you will lose your sight.
There are things you can do to prevent
diabetic eye disease, or keep it as mild as
possible to protect your vision. Make sure you:
• Have good control of your blood sugar
levels and closely monitor your diabetes with
your GP or specialist.
• Stop Smoking. Smoking increases the risk
of serious eye disease
• Treat high blood pressure and high
cholesterol
• If you have type 1 diabetes, make sure you
start having regular eye checks from five years
after you are diagnosed (after the age of 12).
• If you have type 2 diabetes, start having
regular eye checks as soon as you are
diagnosed.
• Get an extra eye examination if you are
pregnant, and monitor your diabetes closely
with your GP. Pregnancy poses extra risks to
your sight if you have diabetes
• Let your doctor or eye-care professional
know straight away if there are any sudden
changes to your vision.
If you show certain signs of diabetes
affecting your eyes, you may be advised to
have a diabetes eye check more often. If you
have diabetes and haven’t been having an eye
check, speak to your GP or practice nurse for
a referral.
Diabetic retinopathy is the name for any
damage to the retina caused by diabetes.
Anyone with diabetes – type 1 or 2, or
gestational – needs to have a check for diabetic
retinopathy, as it can happen at any time. Over
time, high blood sugar levels damage the
blood vessels in the retina, at the back of your
eye, which can then bleed.
The pictures below show what eye specialists
see when they look through your pupil to the
retina at the back. At the top is a normal,
healthy eye. Below it is an eye with diabetic
retinopathy. You can see some burst blood
vessels.
Diabetes can damage the light-sensitive area
on the back of your eyes, called the retina.
Light goes in through the front of our eyes
and onto the retina at the back. The retina
acts like a camera film, capturing the images
we see. The macula is the central part of the
retina. It is the most sensitive part, and it
allows us to see the fine detail that we need to
read, recognise faces and to drive. It also lets
us see colour.
The rest of the retina lets us see less defined
images. It gives us our peripheral vision, or
side vision, helps us sense movement, and
helps us see at night.
People with diabetes are more likely to suffer
from glaucoma than people without diabetes.
The longer someone has had diabetes, the more
likely they are to get glaucoma. Glaucoma is
an increase in pressure inside your eye that
can make you lose your vision. Your risk of
glaucoma increases with age. You can get your
eyes checked for signs of glaucoma when you
have your diabetes eye check.
People with diabetes are also more likely to
get cataracts, and to get them at a younger age
than people without diabetes. Their cataracts
are also likely to get worse much more quickly.
A cataract is when the eye’s clear lens gets
cloudy, blocking light.
Diabetes can badly damage your eyes before
you notice any change in your vision.
Most people with early diabetic retinopathy
have no symptoms. Even with the more
dangerous sight-threatening form of diabetic
retinopathy, people sometimes have no
symptoms until it is too late to treat them.
For this reason, you should have your
eyes examined regularly by an eye-care
professional.
A diabetes eye check is different to a normal
eye check for your glasses. A special diabetes
eye check is called retinal screening. Ask
your GP to refer you to the Canterbury DHB
Ophthalmology (eye) Department so you can
go on to the publicly funded retinal screening
programme. Or you can choose to pay for a
private ophthalmologist or optometrist to do
your retinal screening.
In Canterbury, diabetic eye screening
is carried out by the Canterbury Diabetic
Retinopathy Photographic Screening Service.
Treatment doesn’t cure diabetic retinopathy,
and it doesn’t usually restore your vision
to what it was before. However, it can slow
down the damage and stop new damage from
“Treadle” for Healthy Feet
“Treadling” on an Aircycle circulation
booster is a highly effective way to keep
feet healthy,” says Lynne Taylor, Manager of
Diabetes Christchurch.
Maintaining good blood flow in the feet
is key in preventative foot care and is simple
with an Aircycle. The “treadle” exercise works
the calf muscles and that pumps the blood.
“It’s in our feet that arthritis, complications
of diabetes including, nerve, neuropathy and
circulatory disorders often show up,” says
Lynne. .”It’s important to heed the first signs,
as loss of feeling can mean abrasions, ulcers
and other foot problems go undetected or do
not heal, sometimes leading to amputation”.
By maintaining good blood flow with the
Aircycle, people frequently report numb,
tingling feet regain feeling, normal colour
and flexibililty, swollen ankles and cramps are
relieved and ulcers heal.
You do not need special exercise times with
the Aircycle. Just keep moving gently while
having coffee, watching TV or chatting on the
happening. It is very important that you get
good control over your blood sugar, as this
can reduce any further damage.
Laser treatment: If diabetic retinopathy is
threatening your vision, laser treatment may
be an option. The laser seals leaking blood
vessels in your retina and also stops fragile,
abnormal blood vessels from growing. These
blood vessels may bleed and suddenly reduce
your sight. The laser can treat just one spot,
such as the macula. This is called focal laser
treatment. Or it can be used more widely in
the retina, to help slow or stop any further
damage.
Injections: Medicines can help to reduce
the growth of abnormal blood vessels and
reduce the amount of fluid leaking from them.
These medicines can be injected into your
eye, after it is numbed with local anaesthetic.
This treatment is especially useful if the
retinopathy is affecting your macula – the
part of the retina that is responsible for fine,
detailed vision. This treatment can only be
done by ophthalmologists (eye doctors) in
their clinics.
Surgery: Some people with advanced
diabetic eye disease and severe loss of vision
need retinal surgery. If you have this surgery,
you may need to stay in hospital overnight.
Most people with diabetes will get some
retinopathy. If it’s mild it won’t affect your
vision, but it can get worse if it’s not treated.
How mild or severe it becomes depends
on how well-controlled your diabetes is
and whether you have regular diabetic eye
screening tests.

But it’s sudoku with a

For example, 5+ means

New Brighton trio get second
chance in Canterbury final
• By Gordon Findlater
THREE NEW Brighton
Rugby Club players have a
shot at finals redemption when
Canterbury play Tasman in the
Mitre 10 Cup premiership final
on Saturday.
Billy Harmon, Oliver Jager
and Nathan Vella were part of
the New Brighton team that
made it all the way to this
year’s Christchurch metro
rugby final before falling to
Lincoln University 12-49 at
Rugby Park.
The trio then joined All Black
Ryan Crotty as the only New
Brighton players to be named in
the Canterbury squad.
After impressing during
their debut seasons for the
province, all three were named
to start from the bench in
last weekend’s semi-final win
against Counties Manukau.
For Irish prop Oliver Jager,
Saturday will be his first taste of
finals’ football this year. The 21-
old missed out on playing in the
metro final for New Brighton
after sustaining an injury late in
the season.
“I was still there running the
waters on. Making it to the final
was a great experience and,
hopefully, we can go one better
next year,” said Jager.
After growing up in Ireland
and waking up in the early
hours of the morning to watch
New Zealand provincial games,
Jager is now just one step away
from a boyhood dream.
“It’s great to have another
chance to play in a final so
soon after missing the last one.
And, with this one being a New
Zealand title, it’s even more
special,” said Jager.
Billy Harmon will also have
a point to prove following July’s
SEASIDERS:
The New
Brighton
trio of Oliver
Jager,
Nathan Vella
and Billy
Harmon
have already
tasted
success with
Canterbury,
winning the
Ranfurly
Shield from
Waikato in
September. ​
metro final. The loose forward
had a day to forget after being
red carded midway through the
first half for a dangerous tackle
on Jordie Barrett.
“I was really gutted, it was
such a big build up to the game.
Having the game cut short was
really hard to take at the time.
It’s been nice to have something
else to concentrate on now
and not having that be my last
memory of rugby this season,”
said Harmon.
The Canterbury team to play
Tasman will be named later
today.

United scores new
Dutch director
CHRISTCHURCH United
Football Club, which recently
merged with the Christchurch
Football Academy, has scored
a major coup by recruiting
experienced international coach
Pieter in ‘t Groen.
In ‘t Groen (right)
will take on the role of
technical director at
Christchurch United from
next year. He has a UEFA
A coaching licence and a
distinguished track record
developing club structures and
youth academies in the Netherlands,
Africa and the Middle East.
He also had a successful playing
career, including three seasons in
the Dutch Eredivisie with RKC
Waalwijk, the former club of All
Whites great Ivan Vicelich.
Christchurch United president
Slava Meyn is proud to be able
to bring another top coach to
Christchurch. “We have already
been fortunate to have Cvetan
Ivanov, another UEFA A licenced
coach, running our academy, but
we expect that Pieter’s experience
around the world will help us take
the club to another level,” Meyn
said.
In ‘t Groen will move his family
to New Zealand from Qatar,
The Star
where he has been technical director
at the Al Arabi club’s football
academy. He has also worked
in a management role with the
renowned Red Bull Academy in
Ghana, which has produced numerous
African talents for
Europe’s top leagues.
Before embarking on his
overseas adventures, he
worked as a coach at the
youth academy of Eredivisie
club Willem II and was
coaching development
officer for the Dutch Football Association.
In ‘t Groen also has an economics
degree and worked several
years for a pension investment
company before turning his passion
for coaching into a full-time
career.
The 47-year-old Dutchman says
he is excited by the opportunity
in Christchurch and is looking
forward to discovering the Kiwi
culture.
“I was attracted by the vision of
Slava and his team to create the
best environment for young footballers
to reach their full potential.
(Slava) has big plans and I am
pleased to be part of that.”
In ‘t Groen will arrive in
Christchurch in December.

The biggest range of vehicles
in one location
VW Tiguan takes up
the SUV challenge
• By Ross Kiddie
FOR THOSE who have
long desired a Volkswagen
Touareg sport utility
vehicle but have found
the cost a little prohibitive
and its size daunting,
Volkswagen still have an
affordable SUV in the form
of its Tiguan.
A completely new
Tiguan has just landed and,
although it doesn’t measure
up to Touareg in any shape
or form, it is still a very
desirable mid-size SUV
which rides and drives
very much like sedans
and hatchbacks from
Volkwagen’s car line.
The Tiguan, alongside
Ford’s Kuga, has long been
my favourite SUV of this
size, and the new generation
model does little to
alter my opinion of it. Sure,
it gets a lot more kit and
the rounded shape is even
more appealing, but it still
carries the fundamentals
which have made it a popular
car here and globally.
The newcomer lands in
three variants – there’s the
entry-level 1.4-litre TSi
at $41,990 and $47,990,
depending on specification;
there’s a 2-litre TSi
at $57,990 and $66,990,
interestingly, it gets the
high-performance 162kW
engine from the Golf GTi;
and in the test car’s case the
Tiguan lists at $59,990, it
gets a 2-litre turbocharged
diesel engine.
As much as I would find
the 2-litre TSi interesting,
I think the diesel would be
the variant for me, this is a
driveline that Volkswagen
do very well, and somehow
the Tiguan lends itself to
diesel power, it is powerful
yet also thrifty.
In terms of figures, the
1968cc diesel pumps out a
healthy 110kw at the top
end (3500-4000rpm), while
it is also rated with a solid
340Nm of torque, available
all of the way from
1750rpm to 3000rpm.
Drive is sent through a
seven-speed direct shift
automatic gearbox. There
are only two pedals so it
should be treated like a
normal auto. The benefits
are the quick shifts, and
with the number of ratios
VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN: Flowing, rounded lines.
gear changes are barely
detectable and there’s never
a point where you think
the wrong gear is selected.
I like the way the engine
works in conjunction with
the gearbox, it is happy to
operate at low revolutions,
holding a tall gear during
slow speed travel and that
promotes fuel efficiency.
Of course, the gearbox
will quickly change down
if immediate acceleration
is required, the twin
clutch system of DSG promotes
that, but the entire
mechanical operation is
designed so that fuel wastage
is eliminated.
• Price – VW Tiguan
TDi, $59,990
• Dimensions –
Length, 4486mm;

• Performance –

• Fuel usage –

Volkswagen claims a 5.6-
litre per 100km (50mpg)
combined cycle average
for the diesel unit. At
100km/h on the highway
the engine is turning over
at just 1650rpm registering
an amazing 4.7l/100km
(60mpg) figure. After a long
drive and some use on suburban
streets the Tiguan’s
trip computer was showing
a 7l/100km (40mpg) figure.
By my reckoning these are
good results.
The Tiguan is a purposeful
family wagon. It has
large car comfort packaged
into a mid-size vehicle
which drives and rides

with comfort, along with
presenting the driver with
an informative driving sensation.
In all forms the Tiguan
is fitted with Volkswagen’s
4Motion driveline. The
Tiguan can’t be classed as
an off-roader, there aren’t
many SUVs which are, but
it is capable in the loose
and with 200mm of ground
clearance it would accept a
hilly incline or two. It also
has drive modes suitable
for low grip conditions.
I took the test car on
a shingle track near
Hororata. Grip is plentiful
while the fully independent
suspension absorbs sudden
wheel travel so that the incabin
ride is protected.
On the seal, the Tiguan
glides through the air with
quiet ease and is capable
when presented with a
quick corner or two. The
Tiguan is very car-like,
there’s no presence of
height and certainly bulk,
it feels lithe, nimble and
spirited.
The Tiguan rides on high
quality Pirelli Scorpion
tyres (235/50 x 19in) and
even though they don’t
have an aggressive pattern,
they are capable in the
loose and are certainly up
to a cornering challenge.
They don’t moan under
pressure and combine to
give the driver positive
information as to what is
happening in relation to
the road surface.
The new Tiguan carries
all of Volkswagen’s latest
technology, especially for
safety where it features an
autonomous emergency
braking system. It stops
short of taking autonomous
driving any further, but it’s
my guess given the technology
already in production
throughout the wider
Volkswagen/Audi enterprise,
it won’t be long before
it is advanced further.
In the interim, the
Tiguan is a tidy package.
It is a versatile, innovative
all-rounder, and if I was
a mid-size SUV buyer it
would be top of my list.

Prepare for Summer
Throw open the windows and doors and invite the sunshine in with a
few important chores that will set you up for summer.
Now is the time to prepare our homes so
by the time summer rolls around we can sit
back and enjoy the fruits of our labour.
Start indoors by throwing the windows
and doors open to let in some fresh air.
Clean the windows inside and out so you can
admire the view across your garden.
Replace your cosy winter flannel sheets
and heavy duvet covers for lighter linens with
a high thread-count and refresh your colour
scheme with throws and scatter cushions in
lighter, brighter hues for summery appeal.
Reorganise your wardrobe by packing
away winter outfits to make room for
summer dresses and sandals. Dry-cleaning
woollen items – along with any cotton and
synthetic fibres you store with them – will
prevent moth damage.
Refresh bathrooms with new towels
in a splash of vibrant colour, ventilate by
throwing the windows open and add a plant
beside the sink to filter the air. Look for
plants with high purification levels like snake
plants, spider plants, English ivy, and smallleafed
rubber plants.
The next room to attack is the kitchen.

Empty out the freezer and defrost it
completely. Throw out anything that has
been in there over a year (less time for
ground meat, chicken and leftovers), as
frozen food loses flavour and texture over
time, and this will make precious room
for summer treats like ice cream and meat
for the barbie. Ensure your fridge is in top
working order by giving the condensing coils
a thorough clean.
With barbecue season beckoning, make
sure all the barbecue is clean and has a full
gas tank. If you have a charcoal grill, it pays
to invest in an inexpensive chimney starter
to quickly and safely light the coals, as using
lighter fluid can permeate the taste of your
food.
Dust off the outdoor furniture and
organise your garage so when the next hot
day arrives you'll be all set to grab what you
need to hit the beach.
Give patios a good scrub with a broom and
hot soapy water or hire a water blaster from
your local home centre to do the job.
Before you know it, you'll be all set for
summer!

Applicant:
Lyttelton Port Company Limited
Address for service: Jared Pettersson, Lyttelton Port Company Limited, Private bag 501, Lyttelton 8841; or email: Jared.Pettersson@lpc.co.nz
The Canterbury Regional Council has received an application from Lyttelton Port Company for resource consents in respect of its proposed Channel Deepening Project (CDP).
This CDP involves:
• Channel deepening dredging to enable larger vessels to access Lyttelton Port;
• Subsequent maintenance dredging of the channel created after deepening; and
• Dredging of seabed material at Te Awaparahi Bay in preparation for reclaiming land for a new container facility.
Channel Deepening Dredging
The applicant seeks to dredge the area marked ‘Dredging for channel deepening’ as shown on Figure 1, to a depth that allows a vessel with a 14.5 metre draught to enter Lyttelton Port at all tide levels. In addition to that, the
applicant seeks to dredge the seabed material at Te Awaparahi Bay in preparation for reclaiming land for a new container facility. Dredge spoil (seabed material) will be disposed of at the channel deepening spoil disposal ground
indicated on Figure 1.
The applicant has applied for the following resource consents in
relation to the proposed channel deepening dredging.
(1) CRC172455 - A Coastal Permit:
a. to dredge (disturb) seabed material for purposes of
deepening, extending and widening a shipping (navigation)
channel that includes a ship-turning basin and berth pockets;
and
b. to dredge seabed material in preparation for reclaiming land
for a new container facility in Te Awaparahi Bay; and
c. to deposit seabed material on the seabed associated with (a)
and (b) above.
(2) CRC172522 - A Discharge Permit:
a. to discharge contaminants (seabed material and water) into
water associated with channel deepening dredging as described
in (1) above.
Figure 1: Site Plan for Channel Deepening and spoil
disposal ground
Figure 1
Maintenance Dredging
The applicant seeks to undertake dredging to maintain the
navigational channel, ship-turning basin and berth pockets in the
area marked as the ‘Deepened shipping channel’ on Figure 2, to
a depth required for a vessel with a 14.5 metre draught to enter
Lyttelton Port at all tides. Dredge spoil (seabed material) will
be disposed of primarily at the offshore maintenance disposal
grounds as shown on Figure 2, with the Godley Head spoil
disposal ground being retained as an alternative option.
The applicant has applied for the following resource consents in
relation to the proposed maintenance dredging.
(3) CRC172456 - A Coastal Permit:
a. to dredge (disturb) seabed material for purposes
of maintaining the depth of a shipping (navigation)
channel that includes a ship-turning basin and berth
pockets; and
b. to deposit seabed material on the seabed associated
with 3(a) above;
(4) CRC172523 - A Discharge Permit:
a. to discharge contaminants (seabed material and water)
into water associated with maintenance dredging in (3)
above.
Figure 2: Site Plan for maintenance dredging
The application includes an assessment of effects.
A consent duration of 35 years is sought for the above four
consents.
A 10 year lapse period is sought for the channel deepening
dredging consents. A 12 year lapse period is sought for the
maintenance dredging consents.
