Family member of well known 

businessman nabbed in raid 

• By Andrew King 

CANNABIS, methamphetamine, 

firearms and cash were found on 

the rural property yesterday of a 

family member of a high-profile 

deceased businessman. 

Police raided the property 

about 20km south of Christchurch 

yesterday morning and 

took the middle aged man into 

custody for questioning. 

He was interviewed for 

several hours by detectives at 

the Christchurch central police 

station and is expected to face 

charges relating to possession of 

cannabis for supply, cultivating 

cannabis, possession of methamphetamine, 

and firearms charges. 

He is scheduled to appear in 

the Christchurch District Court 

on January 31. 

The Star has learned the man 

has gang connections. 

Police were yesterday releasing 

few details of the raid near Lincoln 

but The Star has learned the 

firearms found included pistols. 

DRUG STING: 

Police found 

drugs, firearms 

and cash at

Armed police were used in the 

raid. 

Detective Sergeant Chris Power 

confirmed firearms, 30 mature 

cannabis plants, 110 seedlings 

and a small amount of methamphetamine 

was taken from the 

property. 

“The cannabis was being 

grown in a shipping container,” 

he said. 

Police also seized about 

$20,000 in cash believed to be 

linked with drugs. 

The deceased businessman 

whom the arrested man is 

closely related to was well known 

throughout New Zealand. 

He died with a fortune worth 

more than $100 million. 

He was also a benefactor for 

many charities and organisations, 

both nationally and in 

Canterbury.

WOULD YOU pay a fuel tax 

to help pay for the earthquakedamaged 

roads? 

That’s the idea city councillor 

Aaron Keown has floated 

(see page 7) to help offset the 

massive cost that continues 

to lie ahead for both the 

Government and the city 

council, and in turn you, the 

ratepayer. 

But whether Keown’s idea 

gets much traction is unlikely. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel says 

the council will probably wait 

and see what the Auckland 

Council does over a similar 

idea. 

In sport (page 50) we reveal 

the Canterbury Strokeplay 

Open women’s golf champion 

is . . . wait for it – aged 10. 

The tournament was held at 

Templeton over the weekend 

and Jeong Hyun Lee carded 71, 

76 and 73 to win by a stroke. 

Amazing stuff and no doubt 

we’ll hear a lot more about 

this young girl and her golfing 

exploits over the next few years. 

Watch out Lydia Ko.

At a Glance 

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw the arrival of New Zealand’s 

first steam fire engine on January 24, 1865. It was 

named Extinguisher. On the same date in 1974, the 10th 

Commonwealth Games opened at QE II Park, one of 

the greatest sporting events in New Zealand’s history. 

Visitors included the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, 

the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne. The following 

day Richard Tayler won the 10,000m in games record 

time. It was the first live colour TV coverage of a 

major race. Tayler was honoured as 1974 Sportsman 

of the Year. On January 26 Christchurch students 

Mark Treffers and Janie Parkhouse won gold medals in 

swimming events. 

WANTED: APPRENTICE PANEL BEATERS 

Canterbury has a shortage of panel beaters 

prompting calls for more apprentices to get 

into the trade. Collision Repair Association 

general manager Neil Pritchard said in spite of 

an increase in cars with collision prevention 

technology, the number of vehicles on the road 

was increasing the risk of crashes. “Right now we 

need 10 new panel beater apprentices to enter the 

Canterbury industry to answer the demand – we 

are getting about half that number currently.” 

He said the industry had launched a marketing 

campaign and scholarship programme to help 

recruit.

Nude photos of man put in letter boxes 


DON’T LET anyone take 

nude photos of you. 

That’s the advice of truck 

driver Peter Black who is now 

the embarrassment of his 

neighbourhood. 

The 51-year-old had personal 

photos of himself, with his 

name, phone number, address 

and a list of sexual services with 

prices distributed around the 

Islington area where he lives. 

Famous English outlaw 

becomes Robyn Hood 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

MEET THE new face of one 

of medieval’s most timeless 

English tales. 

Sophia Benter-Lynch will put 

a feminine twist on the legend 

of Robin Hood, playing the 

heroic outlaw herself. 

Having just left Cashmere 

High School, it will be the 

first major role of the aspiring 

performer’s career. 

The Riccarton House 

grounds will transform 

into Sherwood Forest as the 

tale of Robin Hood and her 

adventures is brought to the 

city. 

The new adaption was created 

by director Daniel Pengelly 

for the city council’s Anthony 

Harper Summer Theatre production. 

While the classic characters 

such as the infamous Sheriff of 

Nottingham and Robin Hood’s 

love interest Lady Marian will 

still appear in the show, audiences 

can expect to see several 

makeovers. 

Benter-Lynch, 18, said most 

of the story remains the same 

but all characters’ genders have 

been switched so roles such as 

Marian is played by a man. 

“I’m pretty sure I know who 

has done it and I have passed 

that information onto police,” 

he said yesterday. 

Mr Black ended a relationship 

recently. 

On Friday he received a call 

from a neighbour, extremely 

upset she had received a flyer 

offering sexual services from 

Mr Black. 

She thought he had put the 

flyer in her letter box. 

“I was p****d off, angry and 

Nick 

Cheesebrough 

(left), 19, who 

will play Marian 

describes 

his reinvented 

character as a 

buff jockey sort 

of guy with a few insecurities. 

He said the show was inspired 

by 1991 film Robin Hood: 

Prince of Thieves starring Alan 

Rickman and Kevin Costner. 

Other significant characters 

are Carrie Green as the Sheriff 

of Nottingham and Millie 

embarrassed at the situation,” 

he said. 

He spoke with police on 

Monday, who are now making 

inquiries into who has made 

and distributed them. 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills 

said police are still trying to 

determine how far the flyers 

have been delivered. 

“The simple message here is 

don’t send nude pictures or allow 

others to take them of you,” 

Senior Sergeant Stills said. 

Hanford as Friar Tuck. 

Benter-Lynch said it is an 

empowering play for familiesespecially 

those who take their 

daughters to the show. 

“Even though Robin Hood 

is a young woman she is still 

great at leading this army. People 

actually follow her and it is 

a great message to the youth of 

today,” she said. 

Benter-Lynch’s interest in 

acting was first ignited when 

she became obsessed with the 

film The Sound of Music at 

eight-years-old. 

Mr Black agreed. “I won’t 

let anyone take nudes of me 

again,” he said. 

In another recent case, 

photos of a woman were distributed 

in Taranaki. Gaylyne 

Joy Fowler, 49, pleaded guilty 

to a charge of objectionable 

behaviour in January. 

She printed nude photos of 

a woman who was having an 

affair with her husband and 

distributed them around Hawera 

Fire Station car park. 

PLAYING 

THE 

OUTLAW: 

Sophia 

Benter-Lynch 

is playing 

the new face 

of English 

legend Robin 

Hood. 

“I was like they are on stage 

they having so much fun singing 

and dancing and it is just 

like isn’t this just a dream job 

to be able to have fun for the 

rest of your life,” she said. 

Since then she has worked 

with The Court Youth Company, 

performed in high school 

productions and competed in 

the Stage Challenge. 

Robin Hood will run from 

February 1 to 19.

SCHOOL SITE TESTING 

Redcliffs School could know where 

its new buildings will be placed 

within months. Tonkin & Taylor 

has been analysing the land in 

Redcliffs Park to find out the best 

place to rebuild the school. Ministry 

of Education head of education 

infrastructure service Kim Shannon 

said staff dug eight test pits last 

week to enable detailed geotechnical 

and soil testing. She said the work 

was supervised by representatives 

from Underground Overground, 

Ngati Wheke and Ngai Tuahuriri. 

Tonkin & Taylor would prepare 

a report as to where the best site 

would be, she said. “We expect to 

receive this in the next couple of 

months.” 

CAMERAS INSTALLED 

Summit Road Society has installed 

two webcams on the roof of the 

Christchurch Gondola building in 

the Port Hills. One camera faces 

east along the Port Hills towards 

Godley Head, while the other faces 

west towards the Sign of the Kiwi 

and Gebbies Pass. Photos would be 

taken every 10min so people can 

see the changing weather so they 

could plan their visit. To have a 

look, visit www.summitroadsociety. 

org.nz and click on the blue Port 

Hills webcam button. The webcams 

were supported by the city council, 

Christchurch Gondola and Prime 

Security. 

INTERSECTION OPTIONS 

Three options are being looked 

at for changes to the St Andrews 

Hill, Bridle Path and Main Rds 

intersection. It comes after 

residents reported difficulties 

turning right onto Bridle Path Rd 

from St Andrews Hill Rd, the 

speed of vehicles approaching, 

queuing and lack of visibility. 

They predicted those issues 

before the intersection was built. 

The first option would see traffic 

signals installed at the bottom of 

St Andrews Hill Rd, and pre-signals 

on Bridle Path Rd, while the 

second would be to prevent all right 

turns out of Bridle Path Rd onto 

Main Rd. The third option was to 

do nothing. Public consultation on 

the options is on the city council’s 

website.

A man accused of breaking into 

the St Albans Shirley Club and 

setting it on fire on January 16

and arson. Reece Skipper, 38, 

appeared in the district court on 

Saturday, where he entered no 

plea. He was remanded in custody

SIGN OF THE KIWI OPEN 

The Sign of the Kiwi reopened 

on Monday after six years. The

of Dyers Pass Rd was closed 

following the September 4, 2010, 

earthquake. Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

cut the ribbon, while the cafe’s 

new tenant and a descendent 

of Harry Ell, who provided the 

original vision for the building 

more than 100 years ago, were at 

the opening. 

Daggs in childcare business 

ALL BLACKS and Crusaders star 

Israel Dagg, and his wife, Daisy, 

have become partners in a central 

city childcare centre. 

The Daggs, who are expecting 

their first child in April, are part 

owners of Co Kids Childcare 

(formerly i-kids), which will open 

in Pilgrim Pl at the end of next 

month. 

The centre, which had previously 

been sited in Moorhouse 

Ave, was severely damaged in the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

The owners were struck a 

further blow after their insurance 

company went into liquidation. 

Co Kids was forced to leave the 

city, but promised parents it 

would return. 

Said Israel Dagg: “With our 

own journey about to begin, we 

have a real passion for Canterbury 

and looking after its young 

families. The Co Kids team has 

worked incredibly hard over the 

past six years to return and we 

feel privileged to be a part of the 

central Christchurch rebuild.” 

A director of Co Kids, Steve 

Piper, said the rebuild momentum 

had created a shortage of 

childcare options in the city.

childcare, with great teacher to

Anti-graffiti shields for monuments 

• By Caitlin Miles 

TWO HISTORIC monuments 

targeted by taggers will be made 

graffiti proof. 

The New Brighton War Memorial 

and Woolston Borough 

Monument will have seethrough 

panels put 

around them to stop 

tagging. 

However, the soon 

to be opened earthquake 

memorial 

Darren 

wall in the central 

Moses 

city won’t have the 

panels. 

Spokesman for Government 

agency Otakaro Ltd, Michael 

Parkin, which is overseeing the 

central city rebuild, said the 

memorial wall would not need 

the panels. He said the wall was 

designed for people to touch and 

will be monitored. 

“The site has been subject to 

crime prevention through environmental 

design review and 

the memorial wall will be well 

lit and be monitored by security 

cameras,” he said. 

City council capital delivery 

community manager Darren 

Moses said because of previous 

vandalism, the war memorial 

will have poly-glass panels put 

around it to protect it. 

“As with the Woolston 

DEFACED: To stop graffiti like this from covering the Woolston Borough Monument and New 

Brighton War Memorial, poly-glass panels will be installed over the exterior. 

Borough Monument, the New 

Brighton War Memorial is continually 

tagged or engraved with 

people’s initials. The panels will 

protect the war memorial,” Mr 

Moses said. 

The panels are clear with a 

film over top of them, which can 

be replaced if they are defaced, 

keeping the monuments clean. 

The panels can be removed during 

ceremonies. 

New Brighton Returned and 

Services Association manager 

and secretary Garry House said 

he was thankful the city council 

decided to do this. 

“It’s very important to us 

and to the community that it is 

looked after and we do support 

the city council for the work on 

it,” Mr House said. 

It is expected to cost $25,000 

for the design and to fabricate 

and install poly-glass around 

the memorial. The installation 

of the panels is expected to happen 

next month. 

The Woolston Borough 

Monument, on the corner of 

Richardson Tce and Ferry Rd 

will get similar panels to preserve 

and protect it. 

It commemorates when 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

Woolston became a borough 

on July 27, 1893. It’s made of 

Oamaru stone with a light stand 

on top. A stonemason sanded 

down the monument to remove 

the graffiti to get it ready to install 

the panels at a cost of $550. 

The panels will be installed 

next month, once some remaining 

dye on the bottom on the 

monument has been removed. 

It is expected to cost $23,000 

to complete the project. 

There are no further plans 

to install similar poly-glass 

panels on any other monuments 

around the city.

Fuel tax mooted for Canty 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

RENT TO OWN 

LAWNMOWERS 

Rent to own 

225 Linwood Ave 

389 7742 

IDEA: A regional fuel tax for Canterbury could pay for the repair of its 

earthquake damaged roads, city councillors say. 

THE IDEA to implement a fuel 

tax in a bid to fund the repair 

of the region’s earthquake 

damaged roads has been floated. 

City councillor Aaron Keown 

asked Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

last week if she would consider 

asking the Government if Canterbury 

could have a regional 

fuel tax. 

It comes after Auckland 

Mayor Phil Goff asked for a 10c 

per litre fuel tax for Auckland 

to plug the $4 million funding 

gap it has for a list of transport 

projects over the next decade. 

However, Ms Dalziel said 

she would be interested to see 

what happened with Auckland’s 

request before making any decisions 

on asking the Government 

to look at Canterbury. 

Cr Keown said the tax could 

pay for the repairs of Canterbury’s 

earthquake damaged 

roads, so it did not strain the 

city council’s budget. 

He said once the roads were 

repaired, they could re-look at 

whether the tax was still needed. 

“You’d pay a bit extra for your 

fuel to have really smooth roads 

that work.” 

Former city council infrastructure, 

transport and 

environment committee chairman 

Phil Clearwater said he 

mooted the idea twice last year 

in informal discussions with 

councillors. 

“I think a regional fuel tax 

does have the potential to bring 

additional income for our 

council.”

Cr Clearwater said. 

“I agree with the mayor, I think 

we will need to wait and see how 

Auckland gets this across the line 

first then we would be likely to 

pursue it if they do.”

$1m going into 

new Sumner 

car park 

• By Annabelle Dick 

NEARLY $1 million has been 

spent on land to create a new car 

park in Sumner. 

The city council spent $900,000 

on buying two properties on 

Nayland St to create a car park for 

Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre, 

which is currently under construction. 

The properties, 31 and 33 Nayland 

St, cost one-tenth of the $10 

million budget for the centre, on 

the corner of Wakefield Ave and 

Nayland St. 

City council property consultancy 

manager Angus Smith said it 

bought the two properties to support 

its application when applying 

for the centre’s resource consent. 

The centre includes a new 

community centre, library and 

museum and is expected to be 

completed in April. 

The properties will provide 

between 20 and 30 car parks, depending 

on final design, Mr Smith 

said. 

Since the Sumner Village Master 

Plan was brought in to redevelop 

the area, the loss of car parking has 

been a contentious issue within the 

community.

Yulia recording new live album 


WHEN YULIA Townsend’s 

mother passed away last year, 

the musician never thought she 

would sing again. 

She said it broke her into a 

million pieces. 

But now, the multi-platinum, 

best-selling artist is about to 

record her new album in front 

of a live audience in Ferrymead. 

It will be her first major work 

in New Zealand for 10 years because 

she took a break to have 

her two children. 

The album will be recorded in 

front of a live audience in two 

sessions at Ferrymead’s Orange 

Studios on February 3 and 4. 

A hundred tickets will be 

available for the two sessions. 

“The exclusivity of this event 

is comparable to an experience 

of Bluff oysters – available to a 

select few, first in, first served,” 

she said. 

The new album, which follows 

Into the West and Montage, 

will feature five of Townsend’s 

original songs. as well as covers 

of Lionel Richie and Leonard 

Cohen. 

She will be joined by guitarist 

Hanafi Machirus, Michael 

Russell on the trumpet, and 

Michael Story on the bass.

INSPIRED: Yulia Townsend will record her new album in front of a live studio audience next 

week, which will be her first major work in a decade. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Yulia’s first self-produced album 

while she was at school, will 

master this one. 

She said it would be different 

to her previous music, but 

thought her fans would like it. 

“They are going to come out 

and think years down the track, 

I may not remember what she 

sang, or what she said, but I 

will always remember how she 

made me feel.” 

Townsend said the concerts 

would be in part dedicated to 

her mother, Galina, who died of 

cancer in July. 

“I feel it everyday.” 

The five songs in the new 

album were among about 12 she 

wrote in November 2015. 

She said it took about two 

weeks to write all of them, 

which were triggered when she 

returned to Christchurch and 

reunited with family. 

Townsend was born in Russia 

and emigrated to Christchurch 

with her mother in 2002. 

At 18-years-old, she landed a 

deal with Sony before becoming 

the first female vocalist in the 

country to have two back-toback 

No 1 hit albums.

Bid to beat 

vandals, 

arsonists 


FIRE SERVICE and education bosses 

are working together to prevent 

vacant schools from being the target 

of arsonists. 

The campaign is aimed at removing 

things such as rubbish bins, outside 

furniture and other combustibles 

from school sites that opportunist 

arsonists use to set fires. There are 25 

schools citywide that have either been 

earmarked for disposal, further education 

purposes or community use as 

part of the $1.137 billion Christchurch 

Schools Rebuild Programme. 

Fire Service’s Bruce Irvine said they 

are working with the Ministry of 

Education over a prevention plan. 

“We have been looking around 

the schools for things like rubbish 

bins not being stored away correctly, 

outside furniture not pushed against 

buildings, that sort of thing to try 

limit the amount of opportunity,” he 

said. 

MoE head of education infrastructure 

service Kim Shannon said all 

schools are vulnerable over summer 

because they are generally unoccupied. 

“It’s an unfortunate fact that all 

schools are potential targets for arson 

and vandalism,” she said.

Another bid to fix mill 


IT COULD be third time 

lucky for Addington’s Woods 

Mill buildings as yet another 

developer goes to the city 

council to get funding to help 

repair it. 

Loprinzi Properties Ltd has 

plans to turn the category 2 

historic buildings into a $7.6 

million commercial and retail 

complex. 

The Mill is made up of a fourstorey 

building and a two-storey 

former grain store building. 

They date back to 1886 but have 

been empty since the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

They were badly damaged by a 

fire, thought to be set by squatters, 

in June. 

Loprinzi has put in an offer 

to buy the Wise St mill, and has 

applied for a $900,000 heritage 

incentive grant from the city 

council to repair it. 

The city council will decide today 

if it will approve the money 

for restoration. 

It is not the first time developers 

have attempted to restore 

and refurbish the site. 

In 2012 the city council approved 

an incentive grant of 

$884,750 to Woods Mill Ltd, a 

company set up specifically for 

the project.

Earthquake Heritage Buildings 

Fund Trust. 

However, those plans fell 

through and the work never 

progressed past the planning 

stages. The grants were not paid 

out to the company. 

In 2014 a grant of $900,000 

was approved along with

sightings of a European middleaged 

man, wearing a white mask 

with a dark balaclava on top. 

He was on a red mountain bike,

black bag and a firearm. 

He wore faded jeans, a black 

zip-up style polo shirt with a green 

T-shirt underneath and gloves.

too never eventuated 

because the cost of 

refurbishing the 

mill was higher than 

first thought and the 

company did not end 

up buying it. 

The grant is only paid out 

once the work is completed. 

Loprinzi’s director, Michael 

King (left), is a chartered structural 

engineer. 

He designed the engineering 

component of the 

building for one of the 

previous developers, so is 

familiar with the buildings.

wants to retain as much of 

the heritage fabric of the original 

buildings as possible.

Violent 

assaults 

drop at 

Hillmorton 

Hospital 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

WORK DONE to make 

Hillmorton Hospital safer 

appears to be working, as the 

number of violent assaults has 

dropped. 

There were 507 physical 

assaults reported at the 

psychiatric hospital in 2014, 

but that dropped to 299 in 

2015. 

The numbers dropped again 

last year, to 198 in the 10 months 

to October. 

Canterbury District Health 

Board mental health service 

general manager Toni Gutschlag 

said it was a range of initiatives, 

rather than any one thing, that 

lead to the change. 

Those included creating a 

calming area and sensory room 

for patients in the building, 

keeping staff numbers stable so 

relationships could build with 

patients, and improving the 

assessment process. 

The changes to the unit so far 

have cost $6600, while another 

$3 million has been set aside for 

improvements to the unit next 

year. 

Plans include more space for 

patients, and a space for people 

to use when they are agitated 

and need to calm down. 

Although the numbers 

have dropped, she said one 

assault was still one assault too 

many. 

“We are constantly looking 

at ways to improve the care we 

provide to people using our 

services,” she said. 

The numbers include both 

assaults on patients and assaults 

on staff. The changes were made 

to make the environment as safe 

as possible for staff, as well as 

patients, she said.

UNDER WAY: A plan for improving the tsunami evacuation process in South New 

Brighton is under way, but residents in other areas along the New Brighton coast 

are still waiting. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Residents’ groups 

try to co-operate on 

evacuation plans 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

TWO MONTHS after the 

failed tsunami evacuation, 

work is beginning on 

a plan for South New 

Brighton residents that 

could help them get out 

faster. 

Civil Defence, Te 

Waka Aroha South 

Brighton and 

the Southshore 

Residents Association 

are working 

together on a community 

evacuation 

plan, which would 

cover things like 

evacuation routes 

and organise help 

for vulnerable 

residents. 

They plan to 

hold a community 

meeting in several weeks 

to discuss the proposal. 

But other residents’ 

groups in New Brighton, 

North New Brighton 

and Waimairi have yet 

to be contacted by Civil 

Defence. 

And the The Star can 

reveal confusion between 

groups in the South New 

Brighton area has meant 

other work developing 

community plans has 

stalled. 

The South Brighton 

Residents’ Association has 

been working with the 

South Brighton Surf Life 

Saving Club to co-ordinate 

a network of volunteers to 

help in an emergency and 

has also been distributing 

information to residents in 

the area. 

Hugo 

Kristinsson 

Jane Harrison 

But that work has been 

put on hold because they 

did not have information 

from Civil Defence. 

Residents along the 

coast faced congested 

exits across Avon River 

bridges after the 7.8 

magnitude earthquake 

struck just after midnight 

on November 14. 

Residents fearing 

a possible tsunami 

would not have escaped 

if a big wave 

struck. 

City council Civil 

Defence head Alicia 

Palmer said she had 

not received any messages 

directly from the 

residents’ association. 

“Our understanding 

is that Te Waka Aroha 

South Brighton and 

the Southshore Residents 

Association are working 

closely together,” she said. 

But South Brighton 

Residents’ Association 

chairman Hugo Kristinsson 

said that was not the 

case. 

Te Waka Aroha South 

Brighton founder Jane 

Harrison was a former 

member of the residents’ 

group, but Mr Kristinsson 

said there had been very 

little communication between 

the groups since she 

left three years ago. 

“I cannot understand 

why she is actually getting 

involved with this, 

because she specifically 

said she doesn’t want to get 

involved with any earthquake 

issues,” he said. 

He said tsunami response 

information should 

come from the association 

to avoid confusion and 

mixed messages. 

But Ms Harrison said 

she was happy to work 

with the residents’ association 

and share information 

she received from Civil 

Defence. 

She said Te Waka Aroha 

South Brighton planned to 

focus on different aspects 

of an evacuation plan, 

such as co-ordinating 

community meetings and 

working with individuals, 

while the residents’ 

association focused on 

distributing information. 

Mr Kristinsson said he 

believed that would still 

create confusion. 

In other areas around 

New Brighton, groups 

are also still waiting for 

information. 

New Brighton resident 

Susie Bragg said she 

planned to hold a 

residents’ meeting 

more than a month ago 

to discuss the failed 

evacuation and how to 

improve it. 

But that meeting had to 

be cancelled because she 

couldn’t get information 

from Civil Defence staff at 

the city council. 

“We couldn’t get 

answers from council 

and, if we didn’t have that 

information, there wasn’t 

any point,” she said. 

She plans to co-ordinate 

with Te Waka Aroha 

South Brighton to use the 

information they get from 

Civil Defence.

Owaka Pit problem highlights issues 


and Bridget Rutherford 

SOME ELECTED officials are 

struggling to get information out 

of their own governing 

body after a community board 

was refused a briefing about a 

long-standing issue in its ward. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board has 

been denied a briefing from the 

city council on a report prepared 

about Wigram’s 

controversial 

Owaka Pit. 

Chairman Mike 

Mora (left) said 

city council staff 

had prepared a 

report about the pit, however, the 

board did not know what was 

in it. 

Before Christmas, the board 

asked for a briefing on the contents 

of the report to be set early 

this year but it was denied, he 

said. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston said 

to preserve the independence of 

the investigation it did not comment 

on ongoing matters. 

“It is also inappropriate to 

brief the community board 

about an active investigation 

CONTENTIOUS: The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board wants a briefing on the 

Owaka Pit, but the city council said no. 

in its area as members are not 

allowed to influence compliance 

decisions. 

“The city council will provide 

an update to the community 

board once the investigation has 

progressed and a decision has 

been made on a way forward.’’ 

Mr Mora said he was “very 

disappointed” by that response. 

“We asked for the report, we 

should be able to see that report 

as soon as practicable, and I 

believe we should be able to see it 

now. Warts and all,” he said. 

“It makes me feel very uncomfortable 

when we are elected 

to represent communities and 

advocate for and on behalf of the 

community. Sometimes that can 

be a very difficult job.” 

Deputy chairwoman Helen 

Broughton said it was frustrating 

because it was a long-standing 

issue in the ward. 

“They’ve got some obligation 

to keep us informed.” 

Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel (left) said 

elected members 

were briefed 

on overarching 

issues, but they 

could not necessarily 

be briefed on what was 

happening in a regulatory compliance 

space, especially if it was 

under investigation. 

“If elected members are seen 

to interfere with regulatory processes, 

then this could be subject 

to a judicial review.” 

It comes as information 

released to The Star showed city 

councillors and community 

board members had to resort to 

using the Local Government Official 

Information and Meetings 

Act process to request information 

out of their own council. 

The controversial pit on 

Owaka Rd was used as a recycling 

tip and has been a source of 

contention for years. 

In 2013 the medium density 

fibre in the pit spontaneously 

caught alight taking weeks to 

contain. 

The city council issued Owaka 

Holdings Ltd, which owns the 

pit, an abatement notice in April, 

2015, which said all MDF had to 

be removed by April, 2016.

with councillors receiving information 

But that notice lapsed in April 

and the city council did not reimpose 

it, in spite of requests to do 

so from the board. 

Ms Weston said it did not 

reimpose it because the city 

council initiated an investigation 

of potential compliance issues at 

the site. 

“The investigation is ongoing.” 

She said the city council was 

receiving monthly updates on the 

removal of the material, which 

was coming from an Owaka 

Holdings representative. 

Alan Edge, who owns Owaka 

Holdings, did not respond to The 

Star. 

Meanwhile, the Awatea 

Residents’ Association, which 

has fought for the MDF to be 

removed for years, had also requested 

the same report from the 

city council only to be denied. 

It had since gone to the Ombudsman 

to have it released. 

“It could be embarrassing if the 

public gets the information and 

we haven’t even been briefed on 

it,” Ms Broughton said. 

Mr Mora understood the 

report had been obtained by the 

Ombudsman. 

Meanwhile, figures show there 

were 11 requests for information 

under the LGOIMA from elected 

Yani 

Johanson 

officials during the previous term 

from 2013 to October 2016. 

The most were made by city 

councillor Yani Johanson, and 

then Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board deputy chairman 

Aaron Keown. 

Cr Johanson made four 

requests, including asking for a 

copy of documents relating to 

bids for cricket matches in the 

city and for the Adshel contract 

over the provision of bus shelters 

in the city. 

“I put these requests in following 

ongoing attempts to get information, 

and staff advice led me to put 

an OIA request in after everything 

else had failed,” he said. 

Current councillor Keown asked 

whether the tender for the new 

central library was the lowest, a 

breakdown for the financial agreement 

over the disposal for The 

Crossing car park, and whether 

city council would install charging 

stations for electric vehicles. 

“I assumed the reason I wasn’t 

getting the information was because 

I was a community board 

member and not a councillor. 

That’s what I was told,” he said. 

He said elected members 

should get the same information 

city council staff got. 

Other requests were made by 

councillor Jimmy Chen and then 

Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board chairwoman Sara Templeton. 

City council chief adviser to 

the chief executive Adair Bruorton 

said the city council took 

information requests on a case by 

case basis. 

She said when it was unrelated 

Bronwyn 

Hayward 

to the elected member’s official 

duties, or if it belonged to a 

third party or was sensitive, they 

would have to go through the 

LGOIMA process. 

Elected members could contact 

staff directly, provided they went 

through the “proper channels” 

and appropriate staff were contacted, 

she said. 

That was the same for Ms Dalziel 

and Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner, she said. 

“The vast majority of elected 

member questions and information 

requests are handled directly 

by staff.” 

Ms Dalziel said she had never 

used the LGOIMA process in her 

mayoral role, but had done so 

previously. 

Canterbury University political 

science senior lecturer Bronwyn 

Hayward said it was very unusual 

for an elected member to go 

through the LGOIMA process. 

However, Dr Hayward said 

it probably related more to the 

elected member that was seeking 

the information and their personality 

and way of doing things. 

“We need to make sure that 

overall we continue this process 

of open and transparent government 

as much as possible.” 

In comparison, Waimakariri 

District Council Mayor David 

Ayers said there had been no 

case in the last five years of an 

elected member having to use the 

LGOIMA process, and it would 

be “extremely unusual”. 

“Elected members’ questions 

are always answered outside the 

usual constraints of individual 

privacy.” 

He said it was irrelevant what 

ward they represented. 

Selwyn District Council chief 

executive David Ward said elected 

members were encouraged to 

make requests directly to him, 

senior managers, or at meetings 

rather than put in a LGOIMA 

request. 

He said they could also gain 

access to information that did 

not necessarily relate to the ward 

they represented.

News 

St Margaret’s 

rebuild on 

cards after 

arson attack 


A BISHOPDALE church gutted by 

an arsonist could be torn down with 

the rebuild under way by mid-year. 

The St Margaret’s Presbyterian 

Church on Farrington Ave suffered 

almost $2 million in damage when 

Cheyenne Destiny Jade Reed, a 

35-year-old technician, broke into it 

and started a fire in May. 

Reverend Andrew Nicol said 

while some in the community are 

still dealing with the loss of the 

church, most are in good spirits. 

“The timeline for a rebuild is not 

clear yet, but we are hopeful we 

could be building our new church 

halfway through the year,” he said. 

He said while most of the new 

building will be covered by insurance, 

he wanted to see some fundraising 

from the congregation to 

show real ownership. 

“This would show we are completely 

behind the rebuild,” he said. 

Currently the congregation meets 

at Isleworth School. 

Reed was jailed for six years for 

the arson and other charges, including 

burglary, unlawful possession 

of a knife, breach of bail, receiving a 

computer and theft of a car. 

New term council committees 


A NEW committee has been 

formed to support the city’s 

focus on innovation and 

sustainability. 

Along with it, the city council 

created 14 other committees, 

sub-committees, working 

groups and a taskforce last 

month. 

The innovation and sustainable 

development committee 

will be chaired by Vicki Buck, 

with Tim Scandrett as her 

deputy. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the 

new city council organisation, 

a merger between Canterbury 

Development Corporation, 

Christchurch & Canterbury 

Tourism and some of the council’s 

events, would report to this 

committee. 

She said it would also drive 

strategic directions adopted 

by the city council, such as the 

Resilient Greater Christchurch 

Plan. 

“The committee will also take 

on a leadership role in the area 

of sustainability and climate 

change issues.” 

A development forum, 

chaired by Jamie Gough, with 

Sara Templeton as deputy, 

would be a sub-committee. 

Raf Manji will chair his 

second term of the finance 

and performance committee, 

supported by Deputy Mayor 

Andrew Turner. 

Ms Dalziel said the committee 

was refocused on the city 

council’s finances and performance, 

rather than its strategies 

as it had been previously. 

She said the insurance subcommittee, 

which was in place 

last term, was now under the 

finance and performance committee. 

“This change will ensure 

financial and performance 

targets are being met and that 

the governance role is focused 

at the finance and performance 

level.” 

The finance and performance 

Phil 

Clearwater 

committee will be supported by 

a sub-committee – the strategic 

capability committee, which Ms 

Dalziel and Cr Turner would 

chair. 

The new social and community 

development committee 

will be led by Phil Clearwater. 

Cr Clearwater chaired the infrastructure, 

transport and environment 

committee last term. 

Pauline Cotter would become 

chairwoman of that committee 

this term, with Mike Davidson 

as deputy. 

This term’s regulatory performance 

committee will be 

chaired by David East, with Cr 

Gough as his deputy. Cr East 

held that role last term. 

The audit and risk 

management committee 

Raf Manji 

Vicki Buck 

David East 

Pauline 

Cotter 

will remain the same, with 

independent chairwoman 

Sue Sheldon, and Cr Manji 

her deputy. Ms Sheldon is a 

chartered accountant, and 

current director of Real 

Journeys Ltd and Contact 

Energy. 

The others include a housing 

taskforce; an international 

relations sub-committee; a 

multi-cultural working party; a 

land drainage working group; 

and the civic awards selection, 

health and safety and Te 

Hononga Council – Papatipu 

Runanga committees.

Livingstone in Trump protest 

Great tasting food 

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT 


CITY COUNCILLOR Glenn 

Livingstone got a glimpse of 

Donald Trump being sworn 

in as the 45th President of the 

United States. 

He and his wife, Anthea, 

are in the US after originally 

buying the plane tickets in the 

hope of seeing Hillary Clinton 

being sworn in as president. 

However, on Saturday (US 

time), it was President Trump 

they saw. 

“I got a little glimpse of 

Trump,” he said. 

Cr Livingstone said the 

following day, the pair took 

part in the Women’s March 

on Washington – a global 

movement to support women’s 

rights and broader equality. 

They carried the New Zealand 

flag, he said. 

“It was quite an experience. 

The march was like no other 

we had ever participated in, 

both in terms of the sheer 

number of people and the 

strength of feeling within it.” 

Meanwhile, in Christchurch, 

hundreds of people marched 

from Victoria Square to Cathedral 

Square on Saturday as 

part of the global march. 

“We carried the New Zealand 

flag in solidarity with 

those marching in Christchurch 

and other cities,” Cr 

Livingstone said. 

Not only women took part; 

there were people of all ages, 

he said. 

“Those taking part were 

from mainstream America, 

they were not ‘serial protesters’ 

as some commentators would 

like to think.” 

The couple left Christchurch 

on January 15 and visited Dallas 

to see Dealey Plaza, where 

John F Kennedy was assassinated 

in 1963, before heading 

to New York and Washington 

DC. 

Cr Livingstone will miss 

today’s council meeting as a 

result of the trip.

Last week, city 

councillor Jamie 

Gough expressed 

his opinion on 

Waitangi Day, 

calling it a circus. 

(To read Gough’s 

views go to www. 

star.kiwi) 

Today we publish 

reaction from emails sent to The 

Star and from our facebook page 

Rise Up Christchurch. 

David Woodings – Another privileged 

white man slagging off Waitangi Day, 

what’s new at this time of the year leading 

up to the celebrations at Waitangi? 

Utilising the usual, yet alienating 

phrases like ‘cringe’ and ‘clueless circus’ 

only help us to identify his own prejudices. 

Of course re-branding Maori as a ‘pack’ 

while declaiming the appropriate Maori 

term ‘whanau’ in the same sentence assists 

us mightily with his own underlying 

sentiments for demonstrating respect, 

dignity and decorum so cited earlier in 

his views. 

His attempt to re-brand the “oh, some 

of my best friends and relatives ‘could’ be 

Maori’’ by rebutting an accepted piece of 

institutional racism fell flat, and his attempt 

to draw us all into the argument “as 

most level headed New Zealanders’’ was 

in its own way an argument for the them 

brown people/and us white people debate 

which inundate our media at this time of 

the year. 

Not wanting to let the facts get in the 

way of a good story he again cites the lie 

that the Prime Minister was not provided 

with an opportunity to speak at Waitangi. 

Let’s remember that the PM actually 

stage-managed this issue by delivering 

a press statement on the Tuesday stating 

that he would not be attending Waitangi 

before the invitation (which gave him 

speaking entitlements) even arrived on 

the Thursday. 

Jamie signals his lack of understanding 

of ceremony and history through his suggestion 

that Waitangi celebrations should 

be held elsewhere. 

Well firstly, they are, and right across 

the country should he avail himself of 

the opportunity to celebrate with ‘other’ 

New Zealanders, and secondly, and more 

importantly it is a ‘right’ for Waitangi 

celebrations to be held at Waitangi.

Look his view is his view, narrow 

as it is and my suggestion 

Jamie is to attend a Waitangi 

celebration, maybe go to Okains 

Bay this year, mix with people of 

many races, read some books on 

New Zealand, about the Treaty, 

God knows none of us are experts 

in the field (although many 

people have written expertly on 

the Treaty), but Waitangi Day 

be a day of self-evaluation as a 

nation, the marae is a place for 

debate, for listening, for protest, 

for getting together and Waitangi 

is the place where all of that happens, 

not just the stuff you read 

in the newspapers Jamie. 

And lastly, speaking of newspapers, 

where are the Maori journalists 

given the opportunity of 

present their views, on anything 

really, but Waitangi specifically at 

this time of the year? 

Terry Roberts – Jamie 

Gough was spot on with his 

viewpoint of the Waitangi circus. 

I would have been harsher in 

comments. 

Lyndsay Pearson – Never 

truer words spoken Jamie. You 

hit the nail right on the head. I 

have always referred to Waitangi 

Day since it’s intro as Maori Protest 

Day. Prefer it be called New 

Zealand Anniversary Day. 

Vincent Tavendale – Jamie’s 

time as a city councillor has been 

a circus. 

Al Maitland-Stuart – Well 

said. Waitangi is a farce and 

should be ignored completely. 

The Maori radicals use it to appear 

in the media, hence enhancing 

their “cause”. If these Maori 

wish to return to traditional 

days, then they should pay back 

all benefit payments, medical, 

housing, school and travel costs. 

They should also return to their 

old ways of gathering and fishing, 

they would, after all, lose weight, 

thereby being less of a burden on 

our health system. 

Neil Stuart – Waitangi Day 

is being kept politicised by everyone 

because they think there 

is a benefit. The Harawiras are 

ruining Maori image, the media 

are trying to make money, the 

politicians are trying to get votes 

by being there. What a load of 

crap just forget the day. 

Jessica McCool – Almost 

the epitome of white, straight, 

male privilege. Doesn’t understand 

protest because he’s never 

faced systemic injustice. 

John Rogers – Pot calling 

the kettle black. Where was the 

dignity of Key pulling hair and 

poncing on the cat walk. Didn’t 

hear Jamie talking about dignity 

then. Grow up Jamie and try 

to imagine living a life without 

privilege. 

Raymond Low – Has he 

taken to trolling? Also dildo 

throwing was that done at Waitangi? 

I don’t think so. And I’m 

sure that was a protest about the 

environment? 

Marie Lynch – These politicians 

do not understand the right 

and the need to protest. 

#Norespectfordemocracy 

Heather Knox – Nothing 

wrong with people expressing 

themselves through protest action. 

Pauline Handley – Agree 

when an event as controversial as 

the celebrating of a treaty signing 

which, because of its two versions 

one in English and one in Maori, 

has been exposed as a colonial 

ploy to bring the Maori tribes 

into domination by the English 

throne, Mr Gough must be either 

uneducated in the recent exposures 

or doesn’t want to know 

and wants Waitangi celebrations 

to go on being the pretence they 

are with unearned respect being 

given to politicians who don’t 

give a toss about Maori rights to 

land.

Ever wanted to fly? 

Advertorial 

Canterbury Aero Club provides a 

wide variety of training and offers a 

wealth of experience. As one of the 

oldest aero clubs in New Zealand, it’s 

the place to go for all things aviation: 

from one-off introductory flights, to 

private licences and right through to 

commercial licences. It is also home to 

the International Aviation Academy 

of New Zealand, which runs a range 

of programmes to train commercial 

pilots. Members enjoy free rein of the 

club’s premises, which overlooks the 

Christchurch Airport runway, and are 

given access to club’s planes. Imagine 

taking to the skies with the family in 

tow! 

If you’ve ever had a Top Gun fantasy, 

phone Canterbury Aero Club and 

book yourself an Introductory Flight 

Lesson. For a very reasonable $150, 

you will be in the air before you 

know it, and have a great 

conversation starter for years 

to come. 

Urban Myth #1 

Flying a plane is really 

difficult. 

Urban Myth #2 

It’s really expensive – I need 

to be the CEO of Microsoft to 

afford that. 

Kate Preece tells us about 

her experience: 

Flying a plane was never 

something I thought I could do. 

I assumed it was well beyond 

my skill level and would send 

the budget into a tailspin. 

However, I was very wrong. 

Canterbury Aero Club takes 

the difficulty out of flying. Anyone can 

fly a plane, and they’re 

quick to let you know 

that’s the case. The 

qualified team are 

experts at banishing 

self doubt, and treat 

this unfathomable feat 

as a walk in the park. 

I had no experience in 

aviation, yet I taxied a 

four-seater plane, took 

off, flew out to Banks 

Peninsula, and landed. 

With an instructor 

beside you, there’s 

always a safety net, and never an issue. 

Taking a flying lesson should be on 

everyone’s bucket list. Why? Why not! 

-Kate Preece 

Becoming a recreational pilot operates 

on a ‘pay as you go’ system, so there’s 

no big outlay. In fact, a typical flight 

will cost you around the same as a 

day’s skiing. Kids and partners are 

welcome at the club and the facilities 

make for a great place to hang out and 

be entertained. 

The reception is manned seven days 

a week by flight instructors who are 

more than happy to help with any 

questions. 

To learn more or book a flight, go to 

www.cac.co.nz or phone 359 2121.

They have shown this by 

attempting to sell off what 

isn’t in reality theirs to sell to 

speculators both NZ and 

foreign. 

I am a pakeha myself whose 

disgusted in this mockery that 

politicians make of past promises 

and then expect respect honour 

and speaking rights at Waitangi 

Day celebrations. 

Peaceful protest is my right as 

a New Zealander and Mr Gough 

needs to wake up to the reasons 

we are protesting lately against 

having this country sold out by 

this Government to the growing 

power of global corporations 

that respect neither our human 

rights or our environment or the 

indigenous rights in countries 

they want to use to grow their 

profit margins. 

The dildo throwing I recall 

was at a politician who is all for 

letting this happen. 

Trust Gough to not point out 

the reason for recent accelerated 

protests. 

He’s all for selling us out 

too. 

Dave Moore – One must 

have pretty low expectations 

for your day when you take a 

dildo along in your bag and then 

throw it away. 

Back to school adds to financial struggle 

NEXT WEEK thousands of 

children and young people 

will swap the freedom of the 

summer holidays for another 

year of school. 

Friends will be reunited after 

the break, there will be more 

than a few relieved parents, and 

inevitably the golden weather 

will begin! 

THere will also be an added 

financial strain on already 

stretched household budgets still 

recovering from the Christmas 

and holiday period. Uniforms, 

stationary and voluntary 

donations all add up. 

THat families are feeling the 

squeeze is not surprising when 

you look at the facts.

education has risen by 15 per 

cent since 2007. 

Figures released by the 

Australian Scholarships Group 

planning and education index 

show that parents can now 

expect to pay up to $40,000 

towards the cost of a child’s state 

schooling. 

It is now clear that the 

National Government’s 

underfunding has killed off the 

notion that education in New 

Zealand is free. 

In last year’s Budget, National 

froze 2017 school operational 

funding and continued a seven 

year freeze of early childhood 

education funding. 

THe simple fact is that 

Government funding simply 

hasn’t been keeping up with the 

cost of educating kids. 

If they don’t get the money 

from government, schools have 

to look elsewhere and parents are 

the ones most likely to end up 

footing the bill. 

I know from talking with 

teachers and principals that 

they know that their parents 

are strapped for cash. A 

survey of principals late last 

year shows that many schools 

will instead be forced to cut 

teacher aide hours because their 

communities simply can’t afford 

to pay more. That means the 

children who most need extra 

support miss out. 

We’ve certainly seen an 

upswing in the electorate office 

of people coming in who can’t 

get the support their child needs. 

THis is not right. By law, 

schooling in New Zealand is 

supposed to be free, but under 

National that’s simply not the 

case. Failing to fund education 

properly is costly to parents, 

but the biggest losers are our 

children. 

Labour has made a very clear 

commitment to fund schools 

properly so they don’t have 

to rely on contributions from 

parents. Every Kiwi kid deserves 

a fair shot at a great education.

Temporary housing units available for farmers 

LOSING YOUR home is 

distressing in any circumstance, 

especially after a natural disaster 

when whole communities are 

disrupted. 

As a small nation prone to 

various natural disasters, we 

have to be innovative and flexible 

in the weeks and months that 

follow a large-scale event. 

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake 

that struck near Kaikōura 

on November 14 caused 

widespread damage to essential 

infrastructure – including state 

highways and other roads – and 

to thousands of homes and 

properties. 

Farm properties were hit 

particularly hard, with many 

isolated farmers forced to take 

matters into their own hands to 

ensure their stock had access to 

food and water. 

The Government recently 

announced it would sell the 

temporary housing units used 

in Christchurch after the 2011 

earthquake to help farmers in 

Gerry Brownlee 

the Hurunui, Kaikōura and 

Marlborough districts recover. 

The 20 temporary 

units at the Rawhiti 

Domain in New Brighton 

were used to support families 

through the Christchurch 

earthquakes and will now 

support those farmers with 

significantly damaged homes. 

Farmers will be able to buy a 

unit for $25,000 and use them 

while their homes are repaired as 

they need to stay on their land to 

keep their businesses running. 

The Government was in negotiations 

to sell the remainder of 

the temporary houses at Rawhiti 

and Linwood to the city council 

when the Kaikōura earthquake 

struck. 

This option of relocating 

the temporary housing, now 

surplus from the Christchurch 

earthquake recovery, is among 

the support initiatives the 

Government has put in place 

since the Kaikoura earthquake. 

Between the earthquake and 

Christmas, the Government’s 

response included rolling out 

a wage subsidy package for affected 

businesses, passing three 

pieces of emergency legislation 

to expedite important recovery 

work and announcing $3.7 million 

health support for affected 

regions. 

The National Government 

is committed to making New 

Zealand resilient in the face of 

natural disasters and will this 

year continue on the work it 

has been doing over the last six 

years.

Second chance for offenders 

AT THE end of its first year, 

19 people on community 

sentences with the Department 

of Corrections have become 

the first to graduate from a 

new agricultural skills training 

programme. 

They leave with qualifications 

– and the chance to change their 

lives. The ongoing project is a 

partnership between Lincoln 

University, Port Levy’s Koukourarata 

Marae and Community 

Corrections. It is intended to deliver 

practical horticultural skills 

with a focus on tikanga (Maori 

way of doing things). 

Corrections Canterbury lead 

service manager Katey Gibling 

said the intention was for offenders 

to reconnect with the land 

while gaining skills for employment 

and a taste for achievement 

and further training. 

“Many of those we work with 

are drifting, their lives have 

become chaotic and without 

purpose. Through this partnership, 

and projects like this, we 

help them to reconnect with their 

culture and find a way forward,” 

she said. 

“Lincoln provide the qualification 

and having them involved 

has helped the offenders see 

that this is a real qualification 

and they are very capable of 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Lincoln University’s biological husbandry unit manager Bill Martin (left), 

Brent, and Corrections senior community work supervisors Tom Piahana and Reuben Gent. 

doing something they had never 

thought possible for them.” 

The 12 graduates were presented 

with certificates recognising 

proficiency in chainsaw operation, 

quad-bike driving, tractor 

driving and the use of farming 

implements. 

For Brent, the first graduate of 

the course, the programme has 

been truly life changing. 

“This programme was critical 

to me getting the confidence to 

have a go and get back in charge 

of my life,” he said. 

Last year, Brent was studying 

horticulture, then when things 

‘got stressful,’ he started to drink 

heavily and found himself on a 

community work sentence with a 

drink driving conviction. 

“When I committed my offences, 

I wasn’t thinking ahead. I 

was dealing with alcohol and anxiety 

issues. I was losing my friends, 

failing my studies. I was in a dark 

place and ended up on a community 

work sentence,” he said. 

“This programme was the first 

big mental shift for me. I started 

to plan forward again. 

“I did the chainsaw course 

thinking that it could make me 

more employable and I thought 

the quad bike training could also 

lead to something. It gave me the 

confidence to try again. I had 

gained these skills and thought, ‘I 

can do this’.” 

Brent said that in addition to 

starting to learn again, it was 

the mentoring support of the 

community work supervisor who 

helped him see opportunity. 

The project’s community 

work supervisor Reuben Gent 

said the partnership offered 

new opportunities for people on 

community work sentences to 

access skills and qualifications 

for employment. The tikanga 

element helped offenders 

reconnect with Maori principals 

and culture. 

“In addition to practical skills 

and work aptitudes, the offenders 

on the programme are gaining 

confidence and the personal 

skills and motivation to move on 

with their lives,” Mr Gent said.

Agriculture provides opportunity 

•From page 25 

“Working alongside each 

other provides time and opportunity 

to talk about what is going 

on in people’s lives. Projects 

like this work at many levels,” 

Mr Gent said. 

Koukourarata Marae representative 

Manaia Cunningham 

said he was very proud of the 

way the project was progressing 

and the difference it was making 

in the lives of the people working 

on it. 

“As a marae we are thrilled to 

support our community service 

whanau and we are here to 

support each other,” Mr Cunningham 

said. 

“This education programme 

has a Maori education framework 

that ensures everyone’s 

whakapapa is respected.” 

For some of those in the 

project, they will find the confidence 

and passion to continue 

their studies in a related field, for 

example, horticulture or forestry 

at Lincoln University. 

Bill Martin, manager of the 

biological husbandry unit, is the 

university’s delivery partner in 

the partnership. 

“This programme delivers 

skills that growers want,” Mr 

Martin said. 

“The people graduating from 

STUCK IN: People on community sentences with Corrections 

have been learning new agricultural skills, such as proficiency 

with a chainsaw. 

this programme have certificates 

of proficiency in useful skills.” 

The programme offers a way 

to engage in the community and 

partner in the Koukourarata 

gardens. While the initial programme 

was about rebuilding 

and shaping lives, the partnership 

has taken a new turn with 

the BHU engaging in a two-year 

research project to develop 

commercial seed lines of organic 

taewa, or Maori potatoes, and 

ensure their availability into the 

future. 

“Through this project, we will 

enable Koukourarata to develop 

commercial scale production of 

organic taewa,” Mr Martin said. 

The tikanga element of the 

programme also sat well with 

the university’s whenua strategy 

and recognition of the importance 

of engaging with Maori 

and Pasifika and the land. 

“Between the three partners 

we bring commitment, tikanga, 

the labour, the science and the 

will to make a difference to the 

future of this food source which 

is culturally significant to New 

Zealand, and especially to iwi,” 

Mr Martin said. 

“We are helping people reconnect 

with the earth, traditional 

planting and horticultural methods. 

It’s not just seeds we are 

growing. It’s ideas and futures.” 

As for Brent, he felt very 

positive about his future. He 

had returned to Lincoln to study 

landscape architecture and had 

completed and passed his first 

two papers. 

“I stuffed up so much for so 

long. I needed this, but I didn’t 

know I needed it. It seems 

strange to say, but it has been a 

really important experience for 

me,” he said. 

“My sentence gave me 

purpose. I came home feeling 

engaged and positive again. 

Since I have been on sentence, 

my whole life has turned around 

and Corrections has been a big 

part of this.” 


Few clues in 

home invasion 

investigation 


LEADS IN a Harewood home 

invasion are thin, with police 

focusing on forensic evidence. 

On December 19, three elderly 

people were held against their will 

at the Patricia Pl property, near 

Nunweek Park, for more than 

three hours. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Leairne Dow said police could not 

discuss what forensic evidence 

they are looking at or whether it 

came from the house or the car 

that was stolen after the invasion. 

About 7am, a man entered the 

house by posing as a delivery man. 

He tied up the victims, in their 

60s, before leaving in their silver 

Toyota Vitz, police said. 

That car has since been recovered. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Dow 

said the motive appears to be 

financial gain. 

“No gang or drug connections 

have been identified, but we are 

keeping an open mind,” she said. 

She said the victims are still in 

the country and are co-operating 

with police inquiries. 

They say the offender, described 

as 30-40 years old, is 1.8m tall and 

of solid build.

Chch man killed in Qatar World Cup stadium 

• By Matthew Theunissen, Simon 

Plumb, 

A CHRISTCHURCH-born man 

has died while working on the 

massive stadium build in Qatar 

for football’s 2022 World Cup. 

Zac Cox, 40, is thought 

to have died instantly when 

equipment failed and he fell from 

a catwalk platform at Doha’s 

Khalifa Stadium, which is being 

renovated in preparation for the 

2022 tournament. 

An investigation has been 

launched into how the tragedy 

happened – the second death in 

a matter of months fuelling fresh 

controversy over preparations for 

the FIFA tournament. 

Good friend Steve Wilson said 

Mr Cox was much-loved among 

his wide network of friends here. 

“He was a close friend of mine, 

a close friend of many people,” 

he said. 

“He touched so many people 

with his beautiful spirit and 

heart.” 

Mr Cox was a man in tune 

with his spiritual side and spent 

about eight years living at the 

Anahata Yoga Retreat in Golden 

Bay, where he became heavily 

involved in yoga. 

He left about three years ago 

to work in the construction 

industry. 

TRAGIC: Zac Cox died instantly when a hoist failed as he worked on a World Cup stadium in 

Qatar.

“Just a few years ago he got a 

ticket so he could work off a high 

wire. He was over there earning 

money because he was going to 

come back,” Mr Wilson said. 

“I felt like he was my younger 

brother, he was also so incredibly 

wise for his age.” 

Mr Cox had great tragedy in 

his life when his wife, Betsy, died 

of breast cancer, aged 30. 

He had since found love again 

and was intending to remarry. 

“He met another beautiful 

girl and they were planning to 

move back here and marry,” Mr 

Wilson said. 

“The last communication I had 

with him was an email he sent 

me about January 1 or 2, and he 

said he was going back in Doha 

on the sixth, see how that goes 

and then he was going to come 

over here.” 

Mr Wilson had spoken to Mr 

Cox’s mother, who still lives in 

Christchurch. 

“What she [the mum] said was 

they were installing a catwalk 

high up on the structure, he 

was standing on it, there was an 

equipment failure and dropped. 

He fell and would have died 

instantly on impact,” he said. 

“Good to know how it 

happened and he didn’t suffer a 

protracted death.” 

It is the second confirmed 

death of an employee working on 

a 2022 World Cup work site in 

the past three months. 

In October, 29-year-old Nepali 

man Anil Kumar Pasman was 

killed after being struck by a 

water tanker at the Al Wakrah 

Stadium building site, according 

to Doha News. 

Last year, Amnesty 

International raised the alarm 

about conditions for workers 

refurbishing the stadium, and 

accused Qatar of using forced 

labour and putting profit before 

safety. 

It followed previous reports in 

2015 of some 1200 workers who 

died building stadiums in Qatar 

for the World Cup. 

The Khalifa Stadium was due 

to be finished at the end of 2016 

but that deadline was pushed out 

to March this year. 

Construction firm Midmac- 

Six Construct said Mr Cox – 

who was wearing a harness and 

other safety gear – fell when a 

lever hoist failed. 

“Sadly, the harness was cut 

during the fall with a fatal 

outcome. What caused the cut is 

subject to further investigation.” 

The organisation responsible 

for delivering the stadiums 

and infrastructure for the 

2022 World Cup, the Supreme 

Committee for Delivery & 

Legacy, said: “An immediate 

investigation into the cause of 

this fatality is under way and 

further details will be released in 

due course. 

“The Supreme Committee 

for Delivery & Legacy shares 

our deepest condolences with 

the family for their loss.” – NZ

Fans invited to see what Crummer 

Annie Crummer found 

fame with hits such as 

Language and See What 

Love Can Do. She spoke 

to Tom Doudney about 

working on new material 

and seeing dyslexia 

as a blessing ahead 

of her performance 

with Debbie Harwood, 

Margaret Urlich and 

Sharon O’Neill at 

Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds 

concert in March 

IT HAS been a long time since 

we’ve heard anything new from 

Annie Crummer but the singer 

is hopeful her fans won’t have to 

wait too much longer. 

Crummer hasn’t released a full 

album of original material since 

1996’s Seventh Wave. Since then, 

fans have had to make do with 

a best of collection in 2002 and 

three songs released in 2010 as 

singles only. 

While she is reluctant to talk 

about release dates, she has been 

working on songs for an album 

which has a working title of Project 

Annie C. 

“I have got a bunch of songs 

BEST OF FRIENDS: From left, Margaret Urlich, Debbie Harwood and Crummer will perform 

together at Selwyn Sounds, along with Sharon O’Neill (not pictured). 

that I am dying to get out of the 

demo situation and get into the 

studio and smash that stuff out. 

I’m the only one stopping me,” 

she said. 

“I’ve got a lot more to say musically. 

I will just have to get over 

myself and get on with it.” 

Crummer said that while she 

was known more as a singer than 

a songwriter, she had become 

more confident dabbling in song 

writing. 

“Melodies come really good to 

me but the way I write lyrics is 

quite odd because I am fully dyslexic 

so the way I explain things, 

I don’t think it’s the same as a 

non-dyslexic songwriter.” 

Crummer only discovered she 

was dyslexic well into her adult 

years but the revelation came as a 

big relief. 

“When I look back I think: ‘Oh, 

I have been blessed with dyslexia, 

that’s all.’ I just learn things differently,” 

she said. 

“I forgave myself for feeling 

so dumb all these years because 

I left school really early and 

now when I look back at all the 

subjects I took, it had nothing to 

do with anything technical, it all 

had to do with creative stuff.” 

Those subjects included 

classes on art, Maori culture and, 

perhaps surprisingly, typing – 

because she could just copy the 

patterns without thinking about 

the words. 

That ability to recognise patterns 

helped her land a leading 

role in the Australian version of 

Ben Elton’s hit musical-theatre 

production We Will Rock You, 

based on the songs of British rock 

band Queen, in 2003. To get the 

part of Killer Queen, Crummer 

had to audition in front of Queen 

guitarist Brian May and drummer 

Roger Taylor.

“I had to learn the English 

phonetically and that is actually 

how I learn music too. I listen 

to where heart is needed and 

where anger is needed and all the 

emotions, I just emulate those 

inflections without really knowing 

what I am talking about, but 

I have just fooled everyone,” she 

said. 

“I can’t believe I got that role, 

if only they knew how I did 

it. But it did catch up on me a 

couple of times on stage where 

I’d fumble over a word because 

I didn’t fully understand it and 

I had to dig my way out of it, 

live.” 

She said that while the way 

dyslexic people figured things 

out might be different, the 

outcome could be incredible. 

Crummer, who lives in 

Auckland, said she loved 

that performing enabled her 

to travel. She always looked 

forward to playing with 

Harwood, Urlich and O’Neill, 

sometimes joined by Shona 

Laing, with the singers typically 

doing about three or four shows 

together a year. 

She was looking forward to 

reuniting with them for Selwyn 

Sounds. 

“I’m a huge fan of theirs and 

we have the utmost respect for 

each other so it’s a joy all round, 

a real buzz.” 

The concert will also feature 

Kiwi rock heavyweights Mi-Sex, 

Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band 

and Jason Kerrison. 

When she was not performing 

with Harwood and co or going 

solo, she often joined her father’s 

band, Will Crummer and the 

Rarotongans, playing songs 

which mostly sung in Cook 

Island Maori. Crummer took a 

more low key role in the band, 

playing the pahu and putting in 

some occasional backing vocals. 

She didn’t mind stepping back 

from the spotlight and credited 

her father with setting her on 

the path to stardom. 

“He gave me the gift of 

music,” she said. 

“I do count my blessings, 

that’s a daily ritual for me, the 

fact that I can do music and 

have never had a job.”

Gardening 

Tips to get you back 

in the growing mode 

• By Rachel Vogan 

WITH THE start of a new year 

many of us have grand plans 

to make some changes in the 

outdoor department. It may be to 

grow some new plants or try new 

colour combinations. Some may 

consider building a new garden, 

developing a new area or adding 

in a pergola and seating. Others 

may like to start saving their own 

seeds or making compost for the 

first time, and some may be lead 

to be self-sufficient in the edible 

department. 

Whatever you think you may 

like to do, write it down and refer 

to it every now and again; put 

it on the fridge, and if the same 

things keep floating to the top, 

then add it to your ‘barrow list’. 

For me, 2017 is all about growing 

plants in pots. My garden is pretty 

full, so now it’s all about ‘pot 

power’ – whether it be vegetables, 

flowers, or something with strong 

foliage. It’s official: I am going 

potty! 

Compost 

The start of a new year is a 

good time to hook into some 

compost turning and making 

a new pile. If you are starting 

from scratch, remember the key 

compost ingredients are browns 

and greens. Browns are carbonrelated 

things such as newspaper, 

cardboard, sticks and twigs. 

Greens are nitrogen-derived, so 

that means anything with leaves – 

such as grass clippings, weeds and 

food scraps. The final ingredient 

is water. Use equal parts of each 

element: alternating layers of 

brown and green organic matter, 

then water your heaps to start the 

composting process. Covering 

open compost heaps with plastic 

will speed up the process. Now is 

a good time to turn any existing 

heaps. 

Stone fruit 

It’s ripening fast now, so to ensure 

the best flavour, allow all the 

fruit to fully ripen on the tree. If 

birds are an issue, get some bird 

scare tape; they hate it and so do 

wandering cats! For crops that 

are still developing that have a 

particularly heavy fruit-set, thin 

out heavy clusters to allow the 

fruit to fully develop into a decent 

size rather than having a whole 

lot of smaller fruit. 

If fruit shows any signs of 

rotting, remove instantly to 

prevent the rot from spreading 

through the tree. Most stone fruit 

should be pruned in summer 

after fruiting – the main reason 

for this is to prevent the spread of 

any fungal diseases such as silver 

leaf. 

Sweet peas 

What generous blooms these are! For me, a 

season without sweet peas would be like a life 

without wine – not worth thinking about. Now 

they are all in full bloom, remember the trick to 

keeping them flowering is to keep picking them. 

Regular picking triggers new flower buds to 

appear, whereas leaving the spent blooms on the 

plant shortens the flowering season, as the plants 

then just put their energy into producing seed. 

Dahlias 

The flowering marathon of dahlias is well 

underway. Few other summer stalwarts bring 

so much pleasure for so little effort. If only all 

relationships survived on the smell of an oily rag. 

As a cut flower, dahlias last for days. If you change 

the water regularly they will last a good week. Pick 

the flowers once they are almost fully open as the 

buds don’t tend to open fully if picked too early. 

Vegetables 

New potatoes are on the menu! When digging, aim 

to make sure you get all the wee spuds out of the soil. 

As soon as soil space is available, sow another crop so 

they will be ready to use over the winter months. Sow 

seeds of Brussels sprouts as these seedlings need to be 

well in the ground by the end of the month to ensure a 

hearty crop by the time winter arrives. Remove broad 

bean plants that have done their dash; chop them up 

and add them to the compost heap. Sow new rows 

of radish, carrot and beetroot, and make sure you 

replenish the soil with a bag or two of compost before 

you re-sow. Avoid planting broccoli, cabbage and 

cauliflower while the soil is so hot, as they are a coolclimate 

crop best planted once the soil cools a little.

Companion Herbs 

We all know herbs are great to grow 

in the garden, they’re usually easy 

maintenance, fun for kids to grow and 

a great supply of fresh tasting flavour to 

add to your favourite dishes. But did you 

know that they have more importance 

and use than just helping dinner taste 

great? Yep, herbs are the ultimate 

companion plants! From attracting 

pollinators, fending off unwanted pests 

and helping other plants taste better. 

One of the most important reasons for 

planting any plant is to attract pollinators. 

Bees and butterflies are important and we 

want to invite as many into our garden as 

possible. Borage is a great choice to do this. 

It isn’t a plant you’ll find in too many gardens 

but it should be. It has a wonderful refreshing 

cucumber like taste, the oil from its seeds 

are sought after for its anti-inflammatory 

qualities and bees absolutely love it! This 

is because of the stunning blue star shaped 

flowers. Bees love bright colours but contrary 

to what people think bees actually don’t 

see red and orange very well they see blue, 

purple, white and yellow best! So for bees 

those are the colours to plant. 

Rosemary is also a great addition to the 

garden. Its purple flowers attract bees early 

in the spring so they know to keep coming 

back throughout the summer, it’s

a hardy plant looks great planted en masse 

or shaped into topiary styles. It good for 

repelling unwanted insects like mosquitos 

and of course it’s great for roasts! But be 

careful not to plant next to potatoes as these 

two do not like each other. 

Basil is one of the ultimate companion 

herbs! It tastes amazing, Bees and butterflies 

love it but other insects like white fly, aphids, 

fruit fly and mosquitos hate it! However, 

people sometimes have difficultly growing 

it, this is because basil is a tropical loving 

plant and needs to be protected from the 

cold. A tip therefore is to grow basil in a 

bowl, this way you can easily move it in and 

out as necessary. For outdoor planted basil, 

definitely buy frost cloth. Basil also helps 

plants such as tomatoes and peaches resist 

disease and taste better! Simply plant them 

as a border around the susceptible plants. 

I could go on forever about all the different 

companion herbs as the list is endless but 

I won’t. What I will say is bear in mind that 

planting these won’t guarantee you’ll be 

insect and disease free but will help. So load 

your gardens up with as many different 

herbs as you can and don’t just plant them 

in their groups! Mixed them up, experiment 

and have fun! It’s a simple and natural way 

to protect and enjoy your garden.

Brussels sprouts: Love ’em or hate ’em 

Some of the reasons to 

love Brussels sprouts, 

and how to grow them 

• By Janet Wade 

BRUSSELS SPROUTS top the list of New 

Zealand’s most disliked vegetables. 

The Belgians aren’t rushing to claim 

credit for these almost universally reviled 

vegetables, though the link to their capital 

city appears to have come from the 

vegetable’s popularity in Belgium during the 

Middle Ages and stuck as they spread to the 

rest of the world. To still be with us today, 

Brussels sprouts must have something going 

for them – and indeed they do! 

If the sprouts are picked when their 

heads are tight and no more than 2.5-5cm 

across, they are deliciously tender and have 

a milder, sweeter taste than their often 

tough, bitter, store-bought or frozen cousins. 

Likewise, the unpleasant, sulphurous odour 

that is associated with them doesn’t occur 

unless they are overcooked. The smell is 

produced by sulphur-containing compounds 

called glucosinolates that research indicates 

help prevent cancer (only broccoli contains 

more). Packed with an abundance of other 

vitamins and minerals, all in all, they are 

considered one of the world’s healthiest 

foods. 

Originating in the northern hemisphere, 

where Brussels sprouts are traditionally 

served as part of the British Christmas 

dinner (no doubt to the chagrin of British 

children), they are exclusively a crop 

for New Zealand’s colder climate areas. 

Ohakune and Oamaru are where most of 

our commercially-grown Brussels sprouts 

are produced. In saying that, the ones in the 

accompanying photographs were grown in 

Auckland; however, plants grown in warm 

areas are more likely to produce loose heads 

(unrecognisable as Brussels sprouts), bolt 

to seed, and without frost the flavour of the 

sprouts isn’t as good. 

Warmer climates also allow their main 

pests to proliferate such as caterpillars, 

aphids and slugs and snails. Birds, too, can 

be a problem, targeting the seedlings and 

emerging sprouts (pigeons in particular). 

Netting can be used to keep the birds and 

butterflies at bay, but you will need to keep 

a careful watch for aphids, which secrete a 

chemical that causes the leaves to curl over 

to provide a hiding place. 

Brussels sprouts are normally planted very

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT Modern hybrid varieties, such as these ‘Red Ribs’, have had the bitterness bred out 

of them; Firm the soil down around the seedlings well, so the plants can support their top-heavy growth, and the 

sprouts remain tight and firm; Keep an eye out for aphids, which secrete an enzyme that causes the leaves to curl 

over and hide them; The sprouts begin to form in the leaf axils once the plants are mature, meaning a long wait for 

the end result; Chocolate Brussels sprouts find equal favour with people who love Brussels sprouts and those who 

hate them; The sprouts begin to mature from the bottom of the stalk. Topping the plant concentrates all its energy 

into the sprouts and causes them to mature together. 

early in spring, and again in mid-to-late 

summer. Most varieties take at least three 

to five months to produce a harvest because 

the sprouts only form once the plant reaches 

maturity. 

The plants are best started in seed trays 

then transplanted around six weeks later, 

once they have four to six leaves, to a site in 

full sun, with well-drained soil, enriched 

with a high-nitrogen general garden 

fertiliser. 

Space the plants with at least 50cm 

between them, in rows around 75cm apart.

NO GREEN WASTE IN ANY OF OUR COMPOST 

Sink the seedlings down to their first set of 

leaves and firm the soil around them well, so 

that the plants can support their top-heavy 

growth, and the sprouts don’t develop loose 

heads because the plants rock around in the 

wind. 

Side-dress with a high-nitrogen fertiliser 

four weeks after planting and again at eight 

weeks, but don’t apply further nitrogen once 

the sprouts start to form. Keep the plants 

evenly moist during the growing season. A 

mulch can help to keep the soil cool and 

moist and suppress weed growth.

Theatre/Arts 

Filmmaker to capture Olympic history 


ZAHRA LARI could become 

the first figure skater to represent 

the United Arab Emirates at the 

Winter Olympics. 

And a filmmaker who grew 

up in Merivale is determined to 

capture the skater make history 

at next year’s event 

in South Korea. 

From the moment 

filmmaker 

Niamh Peren 

(left), 27, stumbled 

across a lowquality 

video of 

the Muslim figure 

skater on YouTube, she instantly 

wanted to know more. 

“We became like pen pals for 

a little bit and I was like this is 

too good of a story. She is on the 

cusp of doing something really 

big,” Peren said. 

The filmmaker secured a week 

in February to travel to Abu 

Dhabi to create a documentary 

about the inspiring skater in her 

homeland. 

“I think it is a really beautiful 

and cinematic notion, an ice 

skater that comes from the desert. 

Like it is quite a brave sport 

to choose . . . the chill of the ice 

and the heat of the desert is just 

worlds apart,” she said. 

Peren, who attended St Margaret’s 

College, will travel over 

with a small film crew, including 


OLIVER DAVIDSON was going 

to study to become a surveyor at 

Otago University. 

But after achieving three major 

feats in the performing arts 

realm, the former St Bede’s College 

student has decided to take 

a risk. 

Davidson, of Papanui, will 

study a Bachelor of Performing 

Arts at Otago University after 

winning a $16,000 scholarship. 

But, not only has he had his 

tertiary fees covered, he was 

recently accepted to attend an intensive 

singing school in Napier 

earlier this month, and has been 

chosen to represent the country 

at the world championships of 

performing arts in Los Angeles 

in June. 

About 300 people auditioned 

for a place in Napier’s IFAC 

Handa NZ Singing School and 

Davidson was one of 73 chosen 

to attend. 

But, while the 11-day course 

focuses on helping students to 

accelerate their skills in singing, 

Davidson said what he enjoyed 

most was being around likeminded 

people. 

He said his junior years at St 

Bede’s were a struggle with some 

of his fellow classmates finding 

dancing a “weird thing.” 

But he said as everyone grew 

London-based cinema photographer 

Jeremy Valender. 

Valender, who has shot a range 

of work for Burberry, Adidas, 

Google and Louis Vuitton, is one 

of the big names Peren has built 

up in her contact list during her 

film career. 

Peren has worked with filmmakers 

Jane Campion, Garth 

Davis and Jonathan Glazer. 

The film crew plans to “get to 

know” Lari and her home life by 

capturing places such as the rink 

she trains in, and the desert she 

drives past on the way to training 

each day. 

“Hopefully, she gets into the 

Olympics, which will be the biggest 

thing ever and we will go to 

South Korea and watch her shred 

it,” Peren said. 

Peren’s career took off 

when she first acted in the 

film Blue, which won an award 

in the Cannes critics’ week section 

of the Cannes Film Festival, 

when she was 17. She then started 

her own video-making while 

studying at the Elam School of 

Fine Arts in Auckland. 

Recently, Peren was signed to 

Blink Productions in London, 

which specialises in commercial 

and music video production, and 

she has since been travelling for 

her filmmaking. 

Peren and her crew need to 

raise at least $10,000 to under 

up they began to see dancing as 

“cool” instead. 

“I think towards the end of 

my high schooling, it was quite 

good. There wasn’t many people 

like me, it made me stand out so 

I wasn’t just part of the norm,” 

he said. 

Having started in dance at the 

Patricia Paul School of Dance 

and Southern Ballet Theatre, his 

involvement in the arts began to 

go up a gear when he performed 

in all three productions produced 

by Showbiz Christchurch 

last year. 

Now, encouraged by his No 1 

supporter, his mum, Davidson 

will have a crack at a career in 

arts. 

“Some people were like you 

are so stupid going down to 

Dunedin to do surveying, why 

are you wasting your talent?” he 

said. 

He is now hoping for the best 

outcome for his career from his 

upcoming competition at the 

world championships. 

The competition, known as 

the official ‘talent Olympics’ is 

renowned for giving scholarships 

to schools, such as the New York 

Film Academy and the New York 

Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. 

But for now, Davidson is most 

excited about having the chance 

to “start over again” in Dunedin.

raised about $2540 using Givealittle. 

She will be supported by 

two film companies. 

She said people who make 

donations will have their name 

presented in the end credits of 

the film. 

“I think it is such an important, 

huge and beautiful story. 

Seriously, in today’s climate, if 

we look at the women’s march, it 

is really important to be telling 

female stories,” she said.

Travel 

PANORAMA: Edinburgh from Calton Hill. It’s worth giving the thighs and lungs a workout to take in the view. Right – The Royal Mile is a network of narrow, cobbled 

alleys in the Old Town. 

Edinburgh: Scottish heritage on show 

• By Mike Yardley 

NEARLY A decade had passed 

since my last swing through 

Edinburgh, but this city of 

staircases and hills swathed in 

Georgian and neo-Classical 

architecture remains as 

charismatic as ever. 

In addition to admiring the 

contemporary trends that are 

redefining Scottish cuisine, the 

plethora of craft beer producers 

and the design-forward new 

buildings, I reacquainted myself 

with “Auld Reekie’s” time-honoured 

draws. 

Impossible to miss, with its lofty 

perch on a craggy hill, Edinburgh 

Castle is like a tourist tractorbeam. 

Even the weekday admission 

lines can test your patience, but 

a wander through this treasured 

symbol of Scottish heritage is 

compulsive. Take advantage of the 

free guided tours that regularly 

operate within the castle, which 

unpack the vivid nuggets of Scottish 

history with compelling ease. 

For a Kiwi, Edinburgh’s designated 

districts of the Old Town 

and the New Town seems a little 

incongruous, because they are 

both seriously old compared to 

our comparative adolescence. The 

Old Town is of course home to 

the sweeping Royal Mile and the 

network of narrow, cobbled alleys 

that run off it. 

With Edinburgh Castle at its 

head and the Palace of Holyroodhouse 

at its foot, stand out buildings 

along the Royal Mile include 

Gladstone’s Land, The Real Mary 

King’s Close, John Knox House 

and St Giles’ Cathedral, established 

during the reign of King 

David in the 1120s. 

Plus, one of the more prestigious 

new additions is the Scottish 

Parliament. Dating back to 

the 15th-century, I could never 

tire of aimlessly strolling within 

the Old Town. 

New Town is Edinburgh’s 18thcentury 

masterpiece of urban 

planning, resolutely Georgian 

in design, with its wide streets 

and elegant architecture. One 

of the city’s crown jewels is the 

National Museum which presents 

a remarkably insightful history 

of Scotland, spanning millennia, 

from its prehistoric past to a close 

encounter with Dolly the Sheep. 

In July, 10 new galleries opened 

at the museum, accentuating the 

Scottish history lesson, with a 

focus on the wonders of science, 

technology and design. Admission 

is free. 

In a city not short on arresting 

vistas, my all-time favourite perch 

is Calton Hill. It’s a thigh-burning 

climb up to the top, but you’ll be 

sweetly rewarded with expansive 

panoramas, reaching across to 

Leith, the Firth of Forth and the 

ancient volcano which is evocatively 

called Arthur’s Seat. 

Want to go even higher? Totter 

up the spiral staircase of the Nelson 

Monument, one of the many 

follies that crowns Calton Hill. 

If your lungs and calves are up 

for another exacting challenge, 

I also love the Scott Monument 

that towers above Princes Street 

Gardens. 

Illustrating Edinburgh’s reverence 

for its literature heritage, 

HISTORIC: The drawing room on the Royal Yacht Britannia. It is moored in Leith. 

RECOMMENDED: Badger & Co offers and inspired menu of 

local and seasonal menus. 

the Scott Monument is a Gothic 

tower dedicated to Sir Walter 

Scott. It’s the largest monument to 

any writer in the world. Trek up 

the 287 steps for more sumptuous 

city views. Ask the locals, and 

they’ll tell you that forward-focused 

Scottish cuisine is all about 

being locally sourced, thoughtful 

and laid-back. 

A star specimen is Aizle, one 

of a growing number of local 

restaurants where the menu takes 

the form of a list of ingredients, 

which are artfully executed into 

a mini-degustation menu of four 

dishes. For example one dish was 

simply described as “ black vinegar, 

chicken skins and summer 

berries. 

Another highly recommended 

experience is Badger & Co. 

Opened in May in what was the 

original home of Wind in the Willows 

author, Kenneth Grahame, 

Badger & Co. offers an inspired 

menu of local and seasonal 

menus. Its bright, quirky interiors 

have already made it fiendishly 

popular with the locals. 

Want to drink with the locals? 

Settle into the velvet seats of 

Kay’s Bar, a pint-sized Georgian 

coach house, tucked away from 

the crowds on Jamaica St. A 

convivial crowd of locals pack 

out this small pub every night, a 

snug refuge from the inevitable 

Edinburgh rain. 

Edinburgh’s historic port of 

Leith is home to Royal Yacht 

Britannia, which is an experiential 

must for House of Windsor 

aficionados. 

The on-board tours are astoundingly 

comprehensive, allowing 

you to see where the Royal 

Family ate, slept and played, and 

the ship brims with royal memorabilia, 

official gifts and artefacts. 

Leith is in the throes of transformation, 

an edgy, on-trend hive 

of quirky pubs, retro stores, public 

art projects and cocktail bars. 

My final salute to Edinburgh 

was at the Lioness of Leith, surrounded 

by hip young things 

sipping hair-of-the-dog cocktails 

over brunch.

WOMEN’S BRAINS start going downhill 

in their 50s – a decade earlier than 

previously believed, scientists say. 

On average the female mind loses up 

to five per cent of its sharpness between 

50 and 60, researchers have found. But 

they said the drop-off did not seem to be 

caused by menopause, noting there was 

not a “sharp acceleration” in the decline of 

mental faculties. 

They also said it was not a warning of 

dementia but a normal feature of ageing 

and could be held in check or even 

reversed, Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper 

reported. 

The findings were based on a study that 

second son and couldn’t find one. 

She began designing pieces in her studio, 

and soon expanded from cot blankets 

to linen and organic cotton baby clothing. 

Now the brand is stocked internationally, 

with the business operated by a team 

of three. 

The business will be exhibiting its new 

AW17 seasonal collection at Life Instyle, 

as well as new releases of socks and tights.

followed more than 2000 healthy women, 

enrolled in their 40s, for 10 years after 

menopause. 

Researchers from the University of 

California, Los Angeles said earlier findings 

had underestimated the drop-off in 

mental sharpness. 

In two key areas of mental functioning, 

processing speed and verbal memory,.Verbal 

memory declined on average by about 

one per cent every five years, and cognitive 

processing speed, including speed of 

perception and reaction, showed a decline 

of one per cent every two years. 

It was not all bad news – one measure 

that showed no decline in older women 

was vocabulary. 

The research, published in PLOS ONE, 

said that up to now “declines in cognitive 

performance have not been consistently 

documented in those under 60 years of 

age”. 

The declines form part of normal 

healthy ageing and run parallel to the 

slowing of physical responses such as reaction 

time, running speed and metabolic 

rate. 

The authors said they did not see a 

“sharp acceleration” of decline after the 

transition to menopause. But they said 

they could not be certain that a fall in 

oestrogen levels did not have a role to play 

in mental decline as levels of the hormone 

tail off in the years before the onset of 

menopause. 

Higher levels of fitness and education 

have both been found to help prevent 

cognitive decline. Exercise is thought to 

increase levels of a brain chemical which 

helps our brains stay healthy.

energy levels and perhaps some noticeable weight loss. Once 

that happens you will be well on your way. 

The best time of day to exercise is early morning. It is good to 

get it out of the way and it will energise you for the rest of the 

day. Later in the day you might just feel that little bit of fatigue

another day….” This can easily become habit and before you 

know it you have lost one or 2 training sessions every week. 

Of course you might have a good reason for not being able 

to get out early. Getting the children up and organised is one 

of these, although….is there a chance that your partner can 

play a role? Other times of the day for your training session 

are perfectly fine too but good planning is required. A light 

snack (toast/bread, fruit) before your early morning training 

session is generally recommended to assist your blood sugar 

levels. This also applies if you exercise later in the morning or 

afternoon. Breakfast or a meal after training will assist with 

replenishing energy stores. Exercising before going to bed 

might keep you awake for a while if you are a light sleeper.

This programme and accompanying information are written as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at any stage 

please undergo a health check with your GP. 

TIP OF THE WEEK 

(from the SporstMed sports nutrition department): 

If you need to lose some weight, then this training programme will help 

you. But it will only do so if you pay attention to your nutrition at the 

same time. Healthy choices include bread and or cereals for breakfast, 

sandwiches or a salad for lunch and an evening meal consisting of plenty 

of vegetables with fish, chicken or lean meat. Pasta and rice are also 

good staple foods for active people. One helping and avoidance of rich 

desserts will assist your weight loss. A healthy snack mid morning and 

afternoon will help you get through the day. Fruit is always an excellent 

choice. Avoid fatty foods and snacks with refined sugars. Special diets 

might help you lose weight in the short term but are hard to sustain 

and not always balanced or healthy in the long term. If you need help 

with your nutrition or weight loss this might be a good time to have a 

consultation with an expert, like one of the SportsMed nutritionists.

EVERYWHERE 

• By Ross Kiddie 

IF THERE was one thing 

the separate market 

platforms for Citroen and 

DS has achieved is that the 

designers of both brands 

have been given freedom of 

expression. 

Citroen has always been 

known as a company which 

has explored the extremes 

of automotive design, the 

DS brand which is marketed 

parallel to Citroen takes 

that adventurous approach 

one step further. 

That can certainly be said 

of the DS4 Crossback, the 

subject of this evaluation. 

Its shape is very charismatic 

and has extended the 

sport utility vehicle parameters, 

it is a crossover vehicle 

which, in simple terms, 

looks rather like a fully 

grown hatchback/liftback. 

But its body styling 

must have really tested the 

boundaries of what is possible 

in terms of engineering. 

Take the rear doors, 

for example, they meld to 

a strong point at the top 

and slot into a cavity which 

looks fabulous, but I can 

imagine they would have 

been problematic to create. 

All through the DS4 

Crossback interesting elements 

present themselves 

and, for that reason alone, 

it is a vehicle which appeals 

for its fashion and style. 

As I mentioned, it is 

also a car which borders 

in the SUV category even 

though it has a traditional 

two-wheel-drive (front) 

driveline. But it does get 

the wonderful 2-litre turbocharged 

diesel engine 

which has found its way 

through much of Citroen’s 

product, and it is a power 

plant which delivers 

fabulous performance and 

economy. 

In terms of figures, the 

1977cc unit pumps out 

133kW at the top end, 

and a hearty 400Nm of 

torque at the bottom end 

(2000rpm). That being 

the case, acceleration is 

swift, the DS4 will lunge to 

100km/h from a standstill 

in 8.6sec, and will make 

120km/h from 80km/h 

in 4.3sec, the force of the 

turbo boost through the 

mid-range is something 

quite startling and a joy to 

feel. 

Even though it is capable 

of spirited acceleration, this 

engine is rated by Citroen/ 

DS with a 4.4-litre per 

100km (64mpg) combined 

cycle fuel usage average. I 

DS4 CROSSBACK: Adventurous styling. 

couldn’t get anywhere near 

that figure during testing, 

but I did achieve an average 

of 6.4l/100km (44mpg) 

which I thought was 

reasonable, along with a 

6l/100km (47mpg) instantaneous 

figure travelling at 

100km/h, the engine just 

loping along at 1400rpm at 

that speed. 

• Price – Citroen DS4 

Crossback, $54,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4284mm; width, 

1810mm; height, 

1535mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1997cc, 133kW, 

400Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.6sec 

• Fuel usage – 

4.4l/100km 

I took the test car on my 

usual high country loop 

from Waddington through 

the back roads to Hororata, 

it cruises the highway 

quietly and with a sporty 

feel that encourages quick 

cornering. Citroen has long 

been admired for suspension 

technology and velvetlike 

ride. The Crossback 

set-up is just that little bit 

harder than I was expecting, 

some of which can be 

attributed to low profile 

tyres (225/45 x 18in), but 

that helps with that sport 

feel at the steering. 

When it comes to being 

placed quickly into a corner, 

there is sharp turnin 

and unyielding grip, 

while sport specification 

Michelin Pilot rubber provides 

positive information 

back to the steering wheel. 

Body balance over the 

suspension is also well controlled, 

the suspension and 

chassis dynamics make for 

a purposeful drive. 

I also took the test car on 

an across town trip from 

my home in the south to 

North Beach to pick up a 

Trade Me item I had purchased, 

and it dealt to the 

worst of the bumps and 

ruts with dignity and control, 

the occupants far from 

unsettled. 

Drive is channelled 

through a traditional sixspeed 

automatic gearbox, 

and it works fluidly in conjunction 

with the engine’s 

power output and management 

protocols. While this 

may seem a little ordinary 

in comparison to the other 

standout engineering features, 

there are plenty of 

other features on offer. 

The Crossback comes 

with a substantial amount 

of fitment for its $54,990 

price tag, standard items 

include satellite navigation, 

idle stop start, dual-zone 

climate control, cruise 

control with speed limiter, 

comprehensive infotainment 

centre, heated front 

seats, and a heap of safety 

gear which keeps the car 

out of trouble in the first 

instance. 

Everything about the DS4 

Crossback is just a little bit 

unusual, the interior design 

is extremely practical and 

functional, but it is different 

in its own special way. 

Add into the equation 

the bold, sweeping exterior 

style, the result is a car that 

stands out with its individuality. 

That being the case, 

the DS4 Crossback makes a 

real statement on the road; 

it’s just as well, then, that 

it has the goods to go with 

the looks. 

PLUSH: 

The 

Crossback 

has a high 

level of 

fitment.

Sport 

Latham may keep wickets 

OPENING BATSMAN Tom 

Latham is shaping as New 

Zealand’s likely wicketkeeper in 

the one-day international series 

against Australia. 

Coach Mike 

Hesson spoke up 

the merits of handing 

the duties to 

part-time gloveman 

Latham (left) for 

the three-match 

series beginning in Auckland 

on Monday, which would deny 

a debut to Wellington specialist 

Tom Blundell. 

Hesson will save his decision 

until after they watch Latham 

behind the stumps for Canterbury 

against Auckland in 

Rangiora on Saturday. 

That falls two days out from 

the Eden Park opener, where the 

24-year-old will play his 50th 

ODI. 

“He needs to get through a full 

50 overs and show that he can 

back up,” Hesson said. 

“It’ll depend on the balance 

we want once we look at the 

surface, but if we go with Tom 

Latham, we’re able to have another 

power player in the middle 

or have an extra bowling option. 

“We’ve used him in the past 

spasmodically and he’s done a 

KEEPER: Mike Hesson is considering giving Tom Latham the 

wicketkeeping gloves for the upcoming ODI series against 

Australia.

very good job for us.” 

Latham was primarily a 

middle-order batsman when he 

played three ODIs and four T20s 

as a wicketkeeper early in his 

career. 

He has since established 

himself as a quality opening 

batsman at test and ODI level. 

Test keeper BJ Watling was 

unsuccessfully used when New 

Zealand were thrashed 3-0 in 

the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy 

series in Australia in December. 

Veteran Luke Ronchi is 

regarded as New Zealand’s premier 

limited overs gloveman but 

is sidelined with a groin injury. 

Meanwhile, Hesson expressed 

no surprise that match-winning 

Australian opener David Warner 

was rested for the series. 

He says the absence of the 

Allan Border Medal winner is

Heinz hat-trick puts his 

English club into quarters 

A WILLI Heinz hat-trick 

has sealed a home European 

Challenge Cup quarter-final for 

Gloucester over the weekend. 

The former Canterbury and 

Crusaders halfback racked up 

three tries within 47 minutes 

as he led his club to a 64-19 

shellacking of Bayonne at 

Kingsholm. 

Replacement prop Josh 

Hohneck also crossed for a try. 

The Kiwi-laden Gloucester side 

also included Tom Marshall, 

John Afoa, Jeremy Thrush and 

Joe Latta in their match-day 

squad. Bayonne fielded Ryan 

Tongia on the left wing. 

Gloucester will now host Welsh 

regional side Cardiff Blues on the 

weekend of March 31-April 2 in 

the playoffs.

10-year-old golfer wins open 


JEONG HYUN Lee has won the 

Canterbury Strokeplay Open 

women’s golf championship – 

and she’s only just turned 10. 

The tournament was held at 

Templeton over the weekend. 

The youngster held out Roun 

Lee by one shot over the 36-hole 

tournament to take the title 

– shooting 220 over her three 

rounds. 

In her opening round, she shot 

71. She then dropped five shots 

in her second round, shooting 76 

and finished with 73 in the third. 

Jeong, who turned 10 in November, 

moved to Christchurch 

from Korea just over a year ago 

to fast track her golfing career, 

because it was easier to play here. 

She hopes to turn professional 

one day. 

She is a member of the 

Christchurch Golf Club. 

Club chief executive Peter 

Randle said the club was 

proud of her and her win at the 

weekend. He said Jeong had high 

expectations of herself and the 

club knew she would perform. 

“We expect her to be there or 

there about,” he said. 

“She handles herself incredibly 

well and she practices more than 

any other club members we have. 

PROMISING: Jeong Hyun Lee (centre), 10, won the Canterbury 

Strokeplay Open women’s golf championship over the weekend. 

“She’s the only person in the 

winter who comes down and hits 

balls under the flood lights.” 

Although she was small, she 

hit the ball straight every time 

and her short play was “deadly,” 

Mr Randle said. 

“She does it different than 

everyone else. She’s going to be 

great when she’s older.” 

At the Canterbury strokeplay 

tournament, Southland’s 

Scott Hellier won the men’s 

championship after being chased 

down by Jake Hallinan. He had 

to sink an 2.4m putt on the 18th 

hole to secure the title. 

Robbie Bell won the men’s 

masters by eight shots, while the 

women’s masters was taken out 

by Geraldine’s Ginny Bolderston, 

who beat Di Kay by one shot.

Jones’ anniversary gift 

CHRISTCHURCH professional 

golfer Shaun Jones was always in 

the running for a first wedding 

anniversary gift for Switzerlandborn 

wife Anita on Monday in 

Napier. 

But Jones had his work cut 

out in a three-way sudden-death 

playoff with rookie Justin Morris 

and a seasoned Sean Riordan at 

the 18-hole Waiohiki course. 

Two playoff holes later Jones, 

grinning from ear to ear, was 

primed to break the news to 

the barrister that he had the 

perfect “paper gift” – $1900 

before tax in prize money for 

their first year since they tied 

the knot. 

Okay, the paper might be 75 

per cent cotton and 25 per cent 

linen with a polymer security 

thread running through it but 

it’s a fair hunch to say Mrs Jones 

would have had no qualms. 

“She’s stuck home at work 

and I’m playing golf,” said the 

31-year-old who jets off on 

March 14 to ply his trade in 

Europe, waiting to follow up 

with another text. 

The couple will be based at 

Bern, the hometown of Anita 

and capital city of Switzerland. 

However, it took two goes 

on the par four No 18 hole for 

Jones to emerge as the inaugural 

champion of the 18-hole 

Duke of Gloucester Pro-am 

Tournament. 

It was quite satisfying for 

Jones to pull one back from 

Riordan, who had beaten him 

in a playoff at Kaikoura about 

18 months ago. – Hawke’s Bay

Fill the grid so that every row, 

every column and every 3x3 

box contains the digits 1 to 9. 

HOW TO PLAY 

It’s like sudoku: each 

vertical and horizontal 

line has to contain 

the numbers 1-6, and 

the numbers can’t be 

repeated in any row or 

column. 

But it’s sudoku with a 

twist: The numbers in 

each heavily outlined 

set of squares, called 

cages, must produce the 

number in the top corner. 

For example, 5+ means 

the numbers add up to 5, 

9x means the numbers 

multiply to equal 9. 

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

same line or row.

Good storage ideas are abundant and all 

manner of products are available to make 

homes more minimalistic. While it’s nice to buy 

your storage from designer homewares stores, 

the likes of The Warehouse and Kmart sell many 

simple products for masking clutter. Fabric 

storage cubes are a great start for disguising 

the clutter. They fit neatly into shelves and 

wardrobes and thanks to competition from the 

big department stores, can cost $10 or less 

each. You’ll also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven 

and metal baskets for a song. 

Another clever idea, is to buy a cheap set of 

melamine shelves for use in your wardrobe. A 

set of shelves does much the same job as an 

expensive wardrobe fit out. You can move the 

shelf heights to accommodate shoes and boots. 

It looks good, but costs little. 

Another wardrobe organisation is a Wardrobe 

Starter Kit from Hardware stores. While you’re 

there, check out bicycle storage hooks as well. 

As well as being practical, storage products 

can make a design statement. The important 

thing is to be consistent. don’t, for example, 

buy storage cubes in different colours. If you’re 

looking for really clever home storage ideas 

take a tip from the tiny home movement. 

Catherine Foster who wrote Small House Living, 

downsized her life to under 90sq m and has 

interviewed Kiwis who live in architecturally 

designed homes of that size or smaller. 

Each and every house in Foster’s book uses 

storage effectively to tame their belongings. 

Some have done it on the smell of an oily rag,

Selling your property? 

First impressions count, 

get rid of the clutter. 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter 

is one of the keys to selling property fast and at a good price. Good storage 

systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter. 

sometimes buying pre-cut heavy duty plywood 

that only has to be screwed together, she says. 

Garages and lofts are house vendors’ friends. 

The garage is one of the few places in the house 

that buyers won’t be put off by a little extra 

stuff, but the more that can be hidden away in 

stacked crates the better. Consider using flat 

pack cupboards that can be taken with you. 

“The most effective way of using these is to 

find a wall where the whole area can be covered 

floor to ceiling,” 

“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level if you’re 

handy, or get a handyman in for a few hours, but 

make sure it is excluded from the list of chattels 

on the sale agreement.” 

Loft spaces are often wasted space in Kiwi 

homes. A relatively cheap way to open up 

the space is to install a loft ladder. You will be 

amazed at what people use the additional 

storage space for, once they’ve installed it. 

Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just limited 

to the interior of the house, garage and loft. The 

Warehouse, Mitre 10 & other hardware stores 

sell garden storage to hide away things usually 

left outside. 

Foldable garden storage boxes that cost 

from around $99 can be used to store garden 

tools, outdoor cushions and pool paraphernalia. 

The next step up is a cheap garden shed for 

around $200 upwards from Mitre 10, Bunnings 

Warehouse and other stores. 

Finally, if you’re looking for more inspiration 

Google “storage ideas”, search the same on 

Pinterest, or check out books on the subject 

from your local library. You’ll be amazed at how 

many everyday items can be repurposed for 

storage at the same time as adding design 

excellence to your home.

As featured in DECEMBER STYLE Magazine. 

Charmed at 

Chalmers 

Davina Richards experiences the 

feel-good factor of this local 

working men’s club. 

IT WAS the rst time I had ever stepped 

inside the Hornby Working Men’s Club 

& MSA and I had never really known 

what goes on behind those doors. It turns 

out that there’s plenty to get involved in, 

and the volume of members says it all. 

e Hornby Working Men’s Club is 

located at e Hub Hornby and has been 

established for more than 60 years, 

boasting more than 7000 members. At its 

inception in 1956, it was a men’s only 

club, but the decision was made to allow 

women to become members in 1982. 

My ancé and I met the club treasure, 

Brian Purcell, who was kind enough to 

show us around the building, which 

proved to be very accommodating with a 

wide range of excellent facilities, 

including a Club Café, Club Bar with a 

stage for live music and dance oor, 

Sports Hall, modern gaming room, wellequipped 

Gymnasium, TAB, meeting 

room Chalmers Restaurant and three 

function rooms to host weddings, 

birthdays and conferences. 

Shortly aer our tour we were 

introduced to Brian’s wife, Raelene and 

enjoyed a drink before entering Chalmers 

Restaurant - which was lling up quickly. 

e menu was simple and consisted of 

hearty traditional fare, such as Catch of 

the Day, 250g Rib-Eye Steak and a 

Carvery with your choice of favourites 

like pork, beef, lamb or chicken. 

Greeted with a friendly smile and a 

professional demeanour by the staff, I 

ordered the Seafood Cocktail followed by 

a main meal of Marinated Pork Spare 

Ribs coated in tangy barbecue sauce 

served with salad and fries... a favourite

dish at the Club, so I’m told. On its 

arrival I was pleasantly surprised with 

the portion. e pork was succulent 

and came off the bone easily, and a 

lashing of barbecue sauce was perfect. 

My ancé tucked into the blue cod 

served with chips and salad and was 

content with his perfect aky sh and 

its crispy outer coating. 

Despite being too full to indulge in a 

dessert, I didn’t hesitate to have a 

couple of spoonfuls of my ancé’s 

Carrot Cake with frosting and vanilla 

ice cream, which was almost lifechange. 

Suffice to say, I immediately 

regretted not having one. 

If you have never stepped foot inside 

the WMC, it’s worth popping in to 

take advantage of its many offerings. 

ere is a distinct sense of community, 

friendship and fun that lls the entire 

venue, and for a small membership fee, 

you too can be apart of this feel-good 

club.
