Dams
could
resolve
water
concerns
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A NEW dam scheme could help
protect Christchurch’s dwindling
water supply – but charging residents
for the water they use is still being
considered.
Under the scheme, dams would be
built on streams off the Waimakariri
River, designed to store floodwater in
winter and release it into the aquifers
over summer.
It is one potential solution to
Canterbury’s water problems, as the
water levels in the city’s aquifers have
dropped to record lows.
Water charges are also being
looked at to try and reduce household
water use, which takes the biggest
portion of water drawn out of the
aquifers.
A working group has been tasked to
look at potential solutions and report
back to the Christchurch West Melton
Water Zone Committee.
Working group chairman Chris
Kelliher said there was a lot more
work to do on the scheme before he
could say if it was the best or most
cost-effective option.
But he believed creating dams or water
storage ponds was a good solution.
“The idea is to harvest water out of
the river in the winter when there’s a
good flow and it’s not being utilised,
and then put it back in aquifers in the
summer,” he said.
Similar schemes have been
successful in Australia, and one is
being piloted in Hinds in South
Canterbury.

A HEARTBREAKING
situation for the Matthews
family (page 1).
Their son, Toby, is deaf and
will soon also be blind. Imagine
it, the last time you see your
mother or father’s face. The last
time you will see a bright full
moon.
But Toby is a lively chap and
he wants to head to Africa to
help his dad build a school for
children in Zimbabwe.
Let’s see if we can get them
there folks. Details about a
Givealittle page are in the
article.
It is a bit of a shock to the
system to realise how dire our
water situation is.
It is actually at the point
where authorities are looking
at charging for water, and also
looking at the feasibility of
building a dam to store floodwater
in winter and release it into
the aquifers (page 1).
And it is the show that everyone
is raving about. The big pink
bus has rolled into town and our
reviewer had one heck of a good
time at Priscilla Queen of the
Desert. Check it out on page 21.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw the first wool cargo
shipped to London from Lyttelton on March
27, 1856. It travelled via Auckland. On March
28, 1981, the new South Brighton Bridge
was opened. On April 1, 1903, Sydenham,
Linwood and St Albans amalgamated with
the city to form greater Christchurch. On the
same day in 1915, the first regular supply of
electricity from Lake Coleridge was received
in Christchurch; in 1932, New Regent St was
opened; in 1949 the Sign of the Takahe was
opened; and in 1979 the Lyttelton Rd tunnel
became toll-free.

Letter tells of rescue
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE FAMILY of former SAS
soldier Steve Askin, who died
fighting the Port Hills fire, has
received a very special letter
– from a woman who says he
saved her life.
The woman was one of about
70 guests at the InterContinental
Hotel in Kabul in 2011 when it
was taken over by heavily armed
Taliban fighters wearing suicide
vests.
Steve and seven other SAS
soldiers fought for five hours to
rescue the guests.
The woman, who has asked
not to be named, wrote to the
Askin family after hearing of
Steve’s death.
Steve was killed in a helicopter
crash last month while helping
to fight the Port Hills fires.
The woman wrote to Steve’s
family about her experience in
the hotel that night:
“I had hidden in a cupboard
for six hours, and when I heard
the insurgents going through
the rooms below I realised that
there was a high possibility I
might not get out alive. I never
expected anyone to come in
and save us, and no words can
express the gratitude that I felt.
Steve was a hero,” she wrote.
Steve had his ear shot off in
the battle that night, but kept
fighting to rescue the guests.
Eleven people were killed by
the Taliban gunmen before the
ATTACK: Steve Askin was one of eight
NZ SAS soldiers who rescued guests
from the InterContinental Hotel in Kabul
during a 2011 Taliban attack.
Below: Steve and Elizabeth Askin
battle ended the next morning.
The woman was eventually
rescued by a NZ SAS soldier, but
in his battle dress she was not
sure if it was Steve or one of the
others who fought with him.
Steve was later awarded a NZ
Gallantry Star for his bravery in
the battle.
Steve’s father, Paul Askin,
said the letter meant a lot to the
family.
He said his son had been different
after that battle, as knowing
he had saved lives gave him
a lot of satisfaction.
“After that battle he felt a real
sense of completion, that this
is what all the training and the
years of hard work equipped
him to do,” he said.
He said it had been hard for
the family to see Steve go into
dangerous situations as an SAS
soldier, but it was something he
was good at.
“I always thought if I was a
hostage being held somewhere
like that I would want boys
like him coming to my rescue.
Somebody’s kid has got to do it,”
he said.
Steve retired from the army in
2013 to spend more time with
his family, and began working
as a helicopter pilot.
Paul Askin said the family
had been inundated with letters
and messages from people who
knew Steve.
“We’re really proud of our
son,” he said.
He said Steve’s wife, Elizabeth,
and children Isabelle, 7, and
Bowie, 4, were missing him
hugely, but had a lot of support
from family and friends.
Dams could resolve water woes
In Brief
STATUE CLEANING
Almost $2000 has been spent on
cleaning weeds from the Antony
Gormley statue in the Avon River
by the city council. Acting head
of parks Brent Smith said the
artwork is checked and cleared
twice a week during summer and
winter but from autumn to spring
this is increased to three times
a week. He said it’s also cleaned
reactively after storms. Each visit
costs $33.81 and so far the 53
visits made to date total $1791.
One road cone and one vest have
also been removed.
PARADE FUNDS
THe city council may set aside
future funding for the Santa
Parade – but there is still no
funding for this year’s parade.
The parade trust reserves were
used to cover last year’s parade,
after the city council cut funding
from $85,000 to $60,000. A
crowdfunding campaign has been
launched to help save the parade,
at www.givealittle.co.nz/org/
santaparadechristchurch000
ORCHARD CAMPAIGN
A crowdfunding campaign to
raise $60,000 for the Otakaro
Orchard project by 8pm Friday
was three-quarters of the way
towards its goal as of yesterday.
At noon yesterday, the campaign
had attracted 384 pledges with
about $45,000 committed. The
project, led by the Food Resilience
Network, involves creating an
edible park, cafe and local food
information centre on Cambridge
Tce, next to the former PGC
building site. Anyone wishing
to contribute can do so online at
www.pledgeme.co.nz
•From page 1
He said the working group was
initially focused on recharging
the aquifers, but would also look
at what could be done to reduce
water use.
He said water charges were still
“on the table” and likely to be considered
in the future.
“We have to look at using water
more wisely,” he said.
Christchurch residents use an
average of 357-litres of water per
person per day, compared with
273-litres of water in Auckland
where there are household water
charges.
Environmental planner and
groundwater expert, Bryan
Jenkins, said he believed the plan
would work.
He said Canterbury’s aquifers
usually only replenished over
winter, because the soil dried up
so much over summer that any
rain would evaporate from the
soil before it could trickle through
to the aquifers.
If a pond or dam was built in
the right place, water could be
released steadily so the ground
stayed moist and water could
gradually soak through.
But even if dams were built,
he believed water charges would
still be needed.
Where water from
Christchurch aquifers
goes:
•45 per cent residential and
commercial
•31 per cent industrial
•22 per cent rural or irrigation
•1 per cent recreational
•Christchurch residents use
an average of 357-litres of
water per person per day
RESTAURANT TO CHANGE
Christchurch restaurateur Tony
Astle is changing one of his
central city eateries. Chinwag
Eathai, on Victoria St, will be
transformed into a Rockstar
Pizza. The restaurant used to
be based on High St, until the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
when it moved to Victoria St. It
is expected to reopen as Rockstar
Pizza on Monday.

Toby’s dreams fading into darkness
• By Gabrielle Stuart
TOBY MATTHEWS has always
had big dreams – he wants to be
a firefighter, or a builder like his
dad.
But his dreams may now be
impossible.
Toby is deaf, and learned
last year that he is also going
blind.
He has Usher syndrome, a
very rare and incurable genetic
condition. He was born deaf,
but now his vision is tunnelling,
so the area he can see is slowly
getting smaller.
His parents, Logan and Meg
Matthews, said they had no idea
what the condition was when
they were called by a doctor
last year, and told their son was
going blind.
“We were told to Google it,”
Mr Matthews said.
Because it is so rare, they did
not know how long Toby’s vision
might last.
“There is no time frame, no
answers, no way to fix it. Which
I think is the hardest thing, not
knowing how it is going to end,
or when,” he said.
They are now trying to
fill Toby’s life with as many
experiences as possible, before
his world goes dark.
In May, Mr Matthews plans to
take Toby to Africa, to spend two
weeks helping to build a school
for children in Zimbabwe.
“We thought it would be a
great opportunity for Toby,
while he’s got some vision, to go
overseas and do that exploring
that most of us do when we’re

older and take for granted,” he
said.
Toby has his heart set on
seeing a tiger – and although
they are unlikely to find tigers in
Zimbabwe, Mr Matthews said
they planned to go on a safari to
see the wildlife, and visit places
such as Victoria Falls.
They are also trying to teach
him ways to cope as he gradually
loses his vision.
Toby already knows sign
language, but they are teaching
him finger spelling – and he was
already begging for a guide dog,
Mr Matthews said.
But he said going out at night
could be terrifying for Toby,
as he had lost night vision,
and navigating was becoming
frustrating.
“He comes home most days
with cuts or bruises, because
he’s walked into a pole or
tripped over something,” he
said.
He said the hardest part was
hearing Toby talk about his big
dreams for the future, and not
knowing what to tell him.
“As his vision gets worse you
realise those dreams he has, he
won’t be able to do.”
•Friends have set up a
Givealittle page for Toby,
to help pay for his trip to
Zimbabwe. It can be found

East side youth at risk
• By Bridget Rutherford
YOUTH IN the eastern
suburbs are more likely to have
self-harmed, suffered anxiety,
depression and low self-esteem
than others in the country.
The Prime Minister’s Youth
Mental Health Project’s recent
report showed out of the six areas
assessed across the country, east
Christchurch youth were most
at risk.
Data from three Christchurch
schools showed 36 per cent had
high anxiety or depression, 28
per cent had self-harmed, 43 per
cent suffered low self-esteem
and 36 per cent lacked a sense of
belonging.
Forty-three per cent lacked
feeling safe at school, while 18
per cent suffered moderate to
severe bullying.
They were the highest in all
categories, when compared with
Northland, West Auckland,
Hawke’s Bay, Lower Hutt and
Invercargill.
Community, youth and child
services provider, St John of God

There were “never enough”
resources to cope with the four
referrals they received a week, he
said.
“It’s not something we can fix
by putting a plaster on it. If there
is an issue in east Christchurch, it
belongs to Christchurch. It’s not
just the east.”
Linwood College principal

earthquakes had “heightened”
some youths’ vulnerability.
“Do I think about it in the

Central city to
get free wi-fi
• By Bridget Rutherford
FREE WIRELESS internet will
be rolled out in the central city
over the next six months – and
it is expected to draw more
people in and boost business.
The city council, in collaboration
with Canterbury Transport
Operation Centre, is working to
offer free wi-fi in between the
four avenues.
City council Smart Cities
programme manager Teresa
McCallum said it was a ‘proof of
concept’ project under way
to make Christchurch an innovative
and sustainable 21st century
city.
She said the phased roll-out
of the wi-fi in the central city
would happen over the next six
months, starting in May.
The city council was currently
working on defining the trial
scope, estimating costs and
planning how to implement it,
she said.
If it proved successful, it
would become a city council
level of service.
Central City Business Association
chairman Brendan
Chase said it was a good thing.
“Having people in the central
city is good for business, it’s as
simple as that.”
He said the wi-fi would help
bring people into the central
city, and in turn many of those
people would then visit the
businesses.
“It’s going to appeal to a wide
range of the community.”
Ms McCallum said the city
council would install radios,
access points and switches for
the network, by leveraging
existing CTOC and city council
networks.
“It is anticipated that this will
be structured in a similar way to
council’s existing free public wifi
network currently in libraries,
service centres, and recreational
facilities.”
She said it was unlikely there
would be a time limit for those
using the wi-fi, although the
plan was not finalised.
She said until the wi-fi was
rolled out, she could not give
certain costs.
But it was estimated to be
about $7000 a month depending
on data usage, she said.
• Applications MUST be from Registered Charities
• The project must be exclusively for the benefit
of the elderly, defined as aged 65 and over.

Nick Hunt
Rebuilding the city another
Developer Nick Hunt’s $140 million BNZ Centre opened this year,
bringing both shoppers and office workers back into the central
city. He spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about his adventures, both in the
rebuild and in his past life as a ship captain
What is it like to stand in the
BNZ Centre and see it finally
filled with people?
It’s very good, believe you me.
We’ll have about 1000 people in
here once it’s full. But for me, I
still just see all the things that
still have to be done. I’ve been so
focused on the building. We’ve
been building for three years,
designing for a year, and there
was two years work before that.
For someone my age, it’s been a
long six and a half years.
So tell me about your background?
I used to be a ship’s captain. I
was born in England, but went
away at 16 to sail all over the
world on various ships. Back
then, it wasn’t like it is for youngsters
nowadays, who are able to
fly around the world. Back then
it was the only way you could
escape.
Where did you travel?
Everywhere. India, the Baltics,
around the Middle East, South
Africa, Japan. More recently,
many trips between Australia
and New Zealand. For a while, I
was skipper of a ferry across the
English Channel.
You must have had plenty of
adventures?
Yes, there are almost as many
dramas in shipping as there are
when you are building in Cashel
Mall, so the experience was very
valuable. It teaches you you’ve
got to make things work.
When things go wrong, you
can’t call on consultants and
lawyers, you’ve just got to
somehow make it work.
But there were plenty of
adventures. I was once
taking the Archbishop
of Canterbury across
the channel with his
family to celebrate
his 25th wedding
anniversary. A bottle
of champagne
REBUILD:
Nick Hunt
is the
developer
behind the
BNZ Centre
on Cashel St.
had been organised to be
brought up to his cabin.
But when he went to
open it, the cork hit
his glasses, and a piece
of glass went straight
into his eye. So the
next thing he was
down on the couch,
and we were going
full ahead, opening
up the engines. His eye
was saved, but I think it
ruined the celebrations.
And what was it that
made you decide to
leave the sea?
It was in
1998.
I was on a ship in Tauranga
when a lady came on board
with a little note, a writ to go up
on the mast to say the owners
were being taken to court for
non-payment of debts. I was
55 at the time, so I thought I
better start a new career. So we
mortgaged the house and cashed
in the pension, and I bought
and refurbished Briscoes and
Whitcoulls. I always liked to buy
buildings and do them up. Then
the earthquakes arrived, and I
had to make a choice.
Why did you choose to
stay and rebuild, when you
must have known it would be
incredibly difficult?
This is a privilege for an elderly
gentleman like me to be part of.
The last big adventure of my life.
Take me though what
happened after the
earthquakes?
Some of my buildings were
damaged in the Boxing Day
earthquake in 2010, so we closed
them. An engineer went through
and said these buildings are
dangerous, we have to shut
them down, and thank God we
did.

adventure for developer
Otherwise there could have
been numerous deaths in them
in the February earthquake if
they were inhabited. We heard
from another engineer at the
time who said, “no, I think
they’re fine”, but I’m glad we
didn’t listen.
Because I had a big enough
area of land, I was able to get
the green light to rebuild quite
fast. So our Briscoes building on
Salisbury St was one of the first
to reopen in July 2012.
What do your days look like
as a developer?
I’ll start checking things before
breakfast. Then come emails
and more emails. I spend most
of my day in meetings, like with
builders or with councils, some
of them interesting and some not
as much. And there are always
decisions to make.
Several developers I have spoken
to have said they are only
rebuilding here for the love of
the city – because they could
make much more money and
building would be much easier
somewhere else. Is that the case
for you?
I think it’s true that none of us
really comprehended how difficult
it would be. There have been
big problems for developers. One
of them was the shutting down
of the central city after February.
Then there were all of those consent
and regulatory issues.
Our tenants have faced the
same things. Scorpio Books, one
of my tenants, had to move out
of the city, and the costs of the
move and fit-out make moving
back a considerable investment.
But many of them are Christchurch
people who have been here
for years. It shows their commitment
and faith in the city that
this is going to work.
What do you think of the way
the city is shaping?
There are issues. Accessibility
is very important, because the
COMPLETE:

workers

GEOFF
SLOAN
last thing we want is a rebuilt
city facing so much gridlock
even ambulances can’t get
through. So that’s a bit of a problem.
But if we do this right, this
is going to be the finest city in
New Zealand by a country mile.
I remember the first time I
came here in 1989, on a trip up
from Timaru. I remember we
walked down this part of Cashel
Mall and I said, “this is fabulous,
I’ve never seen anything so nice”.
Christchurch is a very pretty
city, and it seemed the prime
spot in the city, by the river. So
it’s very satisfying to be bringing
it back.
Outside work, what do you do
with your time?
We like things like travelling
and tramping, but we haven’t
had much time for them. I don’t
think I’ve read a book for five
years.
Do you ever get out on the
water?
From time to time, but having
worked on the water for so many
years, it’s not usually top of my
priority list.
So what is next for you?
Work on the BNZ Centre is a
never ending process. I would
like to hope my work would be
wound down by Christmas so I
can relax, but there is certainly
another year of work left before
it is finished. But my wife is
starting to get really peeved off.
They call it the rebuild widows
club. So I’ve promised her a good
long holiday in Europe in June,
no matter what.

League club to stub
out sideline smoking
• By Gabrielle Stuart
PARENTS WATCHING from
the sidelines at a children’s rugby
league tournament this weekend
will be asked to stub out their
cigarettes.
The Rolleston Warriors Rugby
League club has a smoke-free
stance on all its home games and
practices, and plans to enforce it
when it hosts Canterbury nursery
grade teams in Rolleston this
weekend.
Club president Nui Ririnui said
it banned smoking because it
wanted to change rugby league’s
image of “bad behaviour.”
The club was founded last year,
and Mr Ririnui said it wanted to
make families the focus.
“From the get go from day one,
our morals have been smoke-free,
alcohol-free and positive sideline
behaviour,” he said.
Although they put up smokefree
signs at every game, he said
some smokers lit up anyway.
They were asked to leave and
finish their cigarette somewhere
else.
Most had taken it well, he said.
“One guy who was a heavy
smoker came up to me about a

week later and gave me a pat on
the back. He said, mate, I love
what you’re doing,” he said.
Mr Ririnui hoped other clubs
would make the same stance.
“Some people might think, oh
yeah, nah, it’s too big a job, but it
comes natural to us because this
is what we’re about. We’re hoping
it inspires some other clubs to go
smoke-free because, at the end
of the day, these are our kids.
They’re our future,” he said.
Regional film office raised
as way to boost industry
• By Bridget Rutherford
A REGIONAL film office aimed
at bringing more international
productions to Canterbury
could be re-established.
It comes after the city council
stopped funding the previous
office, Film South, which helped
secure location filming for The
Chronicles of Narnia, leading to
its closure eight years ago.
The city council has given a
$15,000 grant to the Film Canterbury
Charitable Trust to support
the research, consultation
and development of a business
case into whether a film office
could be established.
City council head of urban design,
regeneration and heritage
Carolyn Ingles said the money
was given out of its creative
industries support fund.
Film Canterbury spokeswoman
Jackie Maw Tolliver said
she had been working behind
the scenes to establish the office.
But she said she could not
comment until it had further
certainty.

Street art explosion
transforms theatre
Wayne Walsh has seen street art in Berlin, Paris, New York
and Melbourne – but none compare to the work he found
inside an earthquake-damaged building right here. The
quantitative surveyor and photographer went inside the
red-stickered Mill Theatre in Addington two weeks ago and
was “blown away” by the level of graffiti he found. “I’ve been
in galleries all over the world and I’ve never seen anything
like it.” The 34-year-old moved to Christchurch from Cork,
Ireland, seven years ago. He has been working with street
artists to make an online gallery where they could sell their
work. •To see more photos, visit www.star.kiwi

Nelson sings at retirement homes to honour veterans
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A RISING star in the music
industry will release a special
remembrance album for those
who lost their lives as a result of
war.
Rebecca Nelson, 29, will release
her new album Poppies & Pohutukawa
next week.
As the official singer for the
Royal New Zealand Navy Band,
Nelson said she has a lot of
respect for the country’s Defence
Force.
Three city retirement villages
will be some of the first to see
Nelson debut her new album.
After years of perfecting her
craft as a busker, the singer,
who grew up in the Bishopdale/
Harewood area, has been signed
to Sony Music New Zealand by
Scott Maclachlan, who managed
singer-songwriter Lorde.
It was Nelson’s experience in
Turkey with the New Zealand
Defence Force to commemorate
the Gallipoli landing in 1915 that
inspired her to create the remembrance
album.
“All the songs on this album
are really well-known ones that
resonated with me or that I have
sung at commemorations around
the world,” Nelson said.
Nelson dedicated the title
track, Poppies & Pohutukawa, to
her great uncle Tom Nelson.
She said the song is special
to her because her great uncle
fought in the Battle of Passchendaele
and is buried in Belgium.
Last year in France, Nelson
performed the song for the
100-year commemoration of the
Battle of Somme. Prince Charles
was in the audience.
Her career first took off when
she was thrown into busking as
a 20-year-old after she moved to
Ireland and lost her job due to
the global financial crisis.
“I had kind of dabbled a little
bit in the busking over there and
I thought this is my chance to
give it a go and I haven’t looked
back,” she said.
She was soon discovered by
musical group The Priests who
took her on tour through Scotland
and Ireland.
When Nelson moved back
to New Zealand she joined the
Royal New Zealand Navy Band.
•Nelson will perform
at the Ngaio Marsh,
Anthony Wilding and Essie
Summers retirement villages
next month. For more

Heat pump specialists offer expertise & hot prices
As winter approaches and thoughts turn to home heating, the idea of having a heat pump installed is seen as an ideal and
cost-effective solution for many homeowners.
That’s where advice from residential
heat pump specialists DC Installation
Services can be invaluable.
A small Christchurch owned and
operated business run by husband
and wife Daniel and Mel Cooper, DC
Installation Services not only has the
heat pump expertise and experience,
it also has the buying power to offer
customers top-brand heat pumps at
very competitive prices, Daniel says.
“We can come to your home to carry
out a site inspection and then advise on
the best heat pump for your situation.
We can give a quick,on-the-spot
quote with no obligation. Once you
book us, installation is done quickly
too, and we offer a full guarantee
on our workmanship for the life
of the unit.”
The company supplies all the major
brands, but highly recommends
Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps, as they
believe the quality and reliability exceed
that of other brands on the market.
“Mitsubishi Electric has carried out
extensive research and development to
produce heat pumps that are specially
designed to work efficiently in our
climate,” says Daniel.
Another advantage is that customers
having an existing heat pump replaced
with a Mitsubishi Electric model can
use the existing pipe work, which cuts
down on the cost.
DC Installation Services has an online
Trade Me store, which has generated a
lot of positive feedback.
“We have had well over 150
independent customer reviews, and
they are all 100 per cent positive,”
Daniel says.

Boosting trade a priority
NEW ZEALAND is
fundamentally a trading nation
and our broad international
trade ties are part of the reason
why we’re doing so well today.
Successive New Zealand
Governments have finalised
trade agreements with a number
of countries, including Australia,
Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia,
Korea and China. Exports are
now worth $70 billion to our
country’s economy.
Our agreements so far are
working well for exporters and
getting Kiwis a good return.
Our goods exports to mainland
China are now four times what
they were before the FTA and
our wine exports to South Korea
have increased by 30 per cent
after just six months.
Prime Minister Bill English
recently launched our new trade
strategy – Trade Agenda 2030 –
which lays out the Government’s
commitment to forging new and
improved trade ties, and further
investment to achieve that.
We’ve set the ambitious goal
of having FTAs cover 90 per cent
of New Zealand’s goods exports
by 2030, up from 53 per cent
today.
In Budget 2017, $91.3 million
over four years will be dedicated
to helping us achieve this.
Gerry Brownlee
This will go towards forging
new trade agreements, maximising
the benefits of existing ones,
establishing new diplomatic
posts in Dublin and Sri Lanka
and supporting Kiwi exporters
to enter new markets.
Canterbury is well-positioned
to profit from this initiative,
which will boost our alreadystrong
regional economy.
For the 12 months ending September
2016, the greater Christchurch
gross domestic product
was $22.2 billion. That’s a 9.9 per
cent share of the national GDP.
The total value of the region’s
export trade through our ports
for the 12 months ending
January 2017 was $4.7 billion for
Lyttelton Port and $0.8 billion
for Christchurch Airport.
I’m sure many Canterbury
businesses will relish this renewed
emphasis on trade and
I look forward to seeing them
prosper.

Rail part of the big picture
I THINK it’s really
exciting that over
the last couple of
weeks the debate
and conversation
about public
transport and rail
for the wider Christchurch area
has been reignited.
Sparking the most recent
debate is Hornby man Tane
Apanui’s proposal to have commuter
rail for a fraction of the
cost previously mooted. While
the details of this particular proposal
are being mulled over by
the powers that be, I believe the
big picture and vision also needs
to examined.
Over the last six years, the
shape of greater Christchurch
has changed so much. Housing
developments in Selwyn and
Waimakariri have boomed and
with them has come the inevitable
traffic congestion. So far,
only roads have been suggested
as solutions. For me, we need
to be imagining a future with
increased public transport – of
which commuter trains are an
exciting part of the mix, along
with roads, cycling and good
pedestrian routes.
The debate about commuter
rail is far from new. Labour had
a policy to get it started at the
last election. We also had a plan
to further integrate the various
players responsible for transport
in the area.
Here in Canterbury, transport
responsibilities are shared
between various local authorities.
It’s a delicate balance, with
ECan responsible for operating
public transport and respective
councils footing the bill for
infrastructure, such as shelters
and car parks. The entry of the
Greater Christchurch Public
Transport Committee, which
brings together all the players,
has been a welcome development.
Improved collaboration
in public transport decisionmaking
is expected as a result
of the committee. This is vital
to making sure that the greater
Christchurch we build back is
not a relic of the 20th century,
but one that is ready for our
future.
So, my hat goes off to Tane
for ensuring the debate about
commuter rail is not solely an
Auckland issue.

Thursday March 30 2017
Tim Seay, of Rakaia,
responds to the
Christchurch Art Gallery’s
drop in visitor numbers
You quoted (The Star, March
16) Christchurch Art Gallery
director Jenny Harper saying
that recent visitor numbers at
77 per cent of the city council’s
target level were disappointing
and she wanted them to
increase.
THey have been stagnating
while those of the Canterbury
Museum are increasing strongly
on the back of the tourism boom.
Almost 1.5 million tourists now
visit the Botanical Gardens
each year and the majority of
Canterbury Museum’s visitors
are tourists. Being on a central
city site the new gallery is only
visited by a few tourists.
It is time Jenny Harper
accepted her responsibilities as
director and advised the city
council that their retention of the
McDougall Art Gallery in the
Gardens for the city’s collection
will solve all her problems. It will
provide the additional storage
and display capacity needed by
the gallery and will increase
visitor numbers.
THe McDougall always used
to receive tourist visitors and
could now if open easily attract
another 100,000 tourist visitors
straight away in addition to local
people.
Why does she continue to
refuse to acknowledge this?
Pam Brathwaite, of Ilam,
writes about the intersection
of Ilam Rd, Middleton
Rd and Riccarton Rd,
ranked as the city’s second
most dangerous, which will
be upgraded in 2019
Jan Nolan (Viewpoint, March
23) suggests fixing the problem
by putting dedicated right-turning
arrows from Ilam Rd and
Middleton Rd into Riccarton Rd.
This solution would need
dedicated right-turning lanes,
and currently there is no room
for these.
However, the arrows would
work well if lights for Ilam Rd
and Middleton Rd were separately
phased, so that cars could
turn right or cross the intersection
safely from the same queue,
without the current blockages
caused by right-turning traffic.
This could make the intersection
much safer immediately, for
a modest cost, and then a longerterm
solution could be explored
for 2019.
Readers respond to a
multi-agency group looking
into altering the amber
traffic signal by up to a
second in a bid to curb the
city’s red light-running
problem
Elle Morton – I travel across
the city every day and have observed
that very heavy use intersections
don’t have right turning
arrows and those that do either
don’t work (Curletts Rd/Main
South Rd) or have a ridiculously
short time span.
Drivers are prepared to wait
patiently if they know they will
get their turn to right turn and
not try to be forced in the middle
on an amber light which turns to
red before they can turn.
Our traffic management in
Christchurch is almost third
world – no right turning arrow
at Main South Rd/Clarence St
and many other heavy use intersections
need them installed.
This, I feel, would make
intersections safer. Even worse
are intersections with gridlocked
traffic with no lights (ie streets
leading into Barrington St from
the mall) and cars trying to
make dangerous right turns.
Curletts Rd at 3pm has traffic
from five schools feed into it at
the Main South Rd intersection
– dangerous at any time to turn
right but more so at 3pm.
Sue Bennetts – I live close
to the intersection of Clyde Rd,
Fendalton Rd and Memorial Ave.
I cross the road every morning
at approximately 8.30am going
south from Clyde Rd.
Every morning there would
be at least three cars per light
change that run a red light. I
often have to wait for cars to go
through as they constantly run
red lights.
The kids on scooters, walking
and cycling often have to wait as
the green man comes up on the
traffic light.
However, there are often three
or more cars still travelling
through the intersection very
quickly.
A friend’s son was hit on the
pedestrian crossing to the BP.
This is a big intersection with
hundreds of children crossing
every day to get to three different
schools.
I can honestly say that every
morning there would be at least
three red light-runners in either
direction on every light change.
This is not turning on a red light
but just going straight through
from Fendalton Rd to Memorial
Ave.
Because Christchurch (unlike
every other major city in New
Zealand), has very few right
hand turning green arrows it is
almost impossible to turn right
under a green light.
Drop by the intersection
of Clyde Rd and Creyke Rd at
3.30pm and try to turn right.
Yesterday, I tried this and it took
me 21min to get through the
intersection.
Why don’t we just issue tickets
for red light runners (not turning
right) at $150 a pop and see how
that works.
Lynley Fisher – Reading the
article in The Star compelled me
to write.
To some degree yes . . . they
need to sort out the light changes
to use common sense and not
frustrate people. I am guilty of
running red lights sometimes
but honestly when you have sat
through some sets three times
you get so frustrated.
I take my boy to school and
turn right from Styx Mill Rd into
Main North Rd, sometimes or
often, there are truck and trailers
waiting to turn also. The light
changes give long enough for
the one truck and trailer to get
through sometimes and no one
else. So annoying.
So if I am behind, I go through
too or I am late for school.
Last week, I was at Northwood
lights turning left into Main
North Rd. I had a red arrow
waiting for a pedestrian to cross
the road. It is such a wide road
that by the time the woman had
crossed, one car had time to turn
left . . . so I ran an amber/red
light again out of frustration!
The light cycles frustrate everyone,
who in turn, take risks.
Kathy Hughes – Allowing
the give way rule at red lights
for left turning traffic would free
up some traffic flow and reduce
driver wait time and frustration.
The United States has this –
give way on red for right turning
traffic as they drive on the right.
It works brilliantly by reducing
queues when the road is clear.
Gavin Simon – Thank you
for your article which is timely
as some of the traffic problems
in Christchurch can be laid
at the blame of Christchurch
traffic engineers and the others
mentioned in your article –
Canterbury Transport Operation
Centre, city council, NZ Transport
Agency and Christchurch
Police.
What was not mentioned was
the short duration of some green
lights and the frequent short
duration of green arrows. This
promotes the illegal travelling
through on yellow lights and red
light running because of the necessity,
or, sitting in the middle
with a green then yellow, requiring
a red to turn right mainly
because of a lack of a green right
turn arrow.
Many of these green turning
lights have a duration of only
2sec meaning that the yellow
phase of 3.5sec lets more cars
through than the green arrow
phase. I realise that light phases
is sharing time with the other
directions, but if you are sitting
in a queue beginning at 10 cars
and require three light cycles to
get through the intersection then
something is wrong.
Auckland green and green arrow
phases are far longer, why do
they have a different standard?
Many intersections have only a
red turning arrow and no amber
or green, so if the intersection is
clear to make a right turn on the
green light the red right turn arrow
prevents you from clearing
the intersection.
Standalone red turning arrows
should be abolished if they are
not in conjunction with a green
right turning arrow.

seriously taken it up a gear in
its first extravagant production
of the year.
Everything from the eccentric
costumes through to
the cleverly-choreographed,
booty-shaking numbers has
been done on a large scale – it
is impossible to not walk away
from the show feeling uplifted
and ready to dance.
With a lively audience
thrown into the mix, the Isaac
Theatre Royal was transformed
into a grooving disco
party.
From the street, you could
probably hear the rollicking
audience yahooing away to
some of the 1980s best pop
hits.
The show is centred around
a road trip across the outback
ACTION: The talented cast in Showbiz Christchurch’s latest
production Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
of Australia, with some lucky
audience members even getting
to have a hoedown with a
few “rednecks” in the hilarious
number, Thank God I’m A
Country Boy.
Behind the glitz and glamour
is a beautiful story about
two Sydney drag queens and
a male transgender who travel
on a battered bus called Priscilla
to find acceptance for the
way they have chosen to live.
It is hard to pick a favourite
drag queen out of the three
leading roles. In spite of some
hilarious lip-syncing in a lot of
the songs, all three had beautiful
voices, which were especially
striking in True Colours
and I Say A Little Prayer.
Cameron Douglas portrayed
elegance and a unique beauty
as the ageing transsexual
Bernadette.
Tom Worthington’s role as
Adam Whitely and the dragqueen
Felicia Jollygoodfellow
was irresistible. That cheeky
smirk he mastered for what
is a youthful role just sang
trouble.
My jaw dropped open
during his flamboyant performance
of Venus. The minimal
armour-themed costumes
Worthington and a talented
ensemble of male dancers
wore – plus the often raunchy
dance moves – made for a wild
spectacle, which the audience
loved.
The three flying divas,
played by Naomi Ferguson,
Jane Leonard and Emily
Burns, cannot go unmentioned.
All three were powerhouses
who smashed out disco
sing-alongs.
Burns’ voice shone when she
sang I Will Survive. Her voice
was so powerful and clear, it
was like she had sent shock
waves through the theatre.
There was the odd sound
issue, but I believe this would
have been well and truly
smoothed out by now.
I thought Showbiz punched
well above its weight in what
was a technically challenging
show. Some of the sizzling
one-liners were to die for –
unfortunately, I don’t think I
would get away with putting
my favourites in the paper.

Desert runs until April 8.

SMOOTHIE
Ingredients
2 Apples
1 Orange
1 Lemon
1 NZ Green Kiwifruit, peeled
Directions
Juice the orange, lemon and

Ingredients
2 kgs Feijoas
6 slices Fresh ginger
½ Orange, zested
½ Lemon, zested
1 cup Sugar, for each cup of

All you need to know about chilling bulbs
• By Paul Hoek
TO CHILL or not to chill. It’s an
age-old question and one I get
asked every year in the lead-up to
spring bulb planting.
So what’s the answer? Yes – you
may need to chill your spring
flowering bulbs, but only tulips
and hyacinths.
And it’s only essential if you
experience fewer than five frosts
a winter. But even if you do get
enough natural chilling in winter,
fridge chilling can still give
benefits – taller stems and earlier
flowering.
Why you need to chill certain
bulbs? Tulips and hyacinths are
native to areas which experience
quite cold winters and they need
this cold period for the bulb to
complete the development of
the flower bud deep inside. Sure
signs you should have chilled
your bulbs are if they produced
unusually short stems or the bulbs
failed to flower at all.
Done correctly, chilling your
tulips and hyacinths will result in
perfect spring flowers. Here are
my tips for optimal bulb chilling:
1. Don’t start chilling until
late March – too early and you’ll
stunt the flower bud development.
COLOUR: Tulip ad rem
– chilling will complete the
development of the flower
bud.
2. Use a paper bag. It’s very
important the bulbs can breathe
and plastic bags cause sweating
and rot may develop.
3. Keep the bulbs to the side
of the fridge, not at the back
where the cooler plate may ice
up and damage them, or where
condensation may cause mould to
develop.
4. Never put bulbs in the
freezer! The freezer is too cold
and will kill your bulbs.
5. Keep fruit out of the fridge
while you’re chilling your bulbs.
Ripening fruit releases a gas called
ethylene which can cause severe
damage to the developing flower
bud in the bulb. If you can’t keep
fruit out of the fridge, include an
ethylene-absorbing sachet (available
on our website) in the bag
with the bulb. This will prevent
ethylene damage and suppress
mould growth (they’re actually
really good in the vege compartment
too, to make your veges
keep longer).
Once you’ve chilled your bulbs
for around eight weeks it’s time to
start planting in mid to late May
when soil temperatures are cooler.
Before you plant, work the soil
with a fork to a depth of 25cm.
This is deeper than the bulbs need
to be planted but will allow their
new roots to easily push further
into the soil. Then plant your
bulbs around 15cm deep – it’s
cooler down there. Once planted
give your bulbs a light watering.
In cooler parts of New Zealand
you can plant tulips and hyacinths
successfully in pots, but because
pots warm up so quickly, even in
winter, I don’t recommend them
for warmer areas.
Apply a bulb fertiliser (available
from your local garden
centre) once the shoots emerge,
water well and you can expect
your bulbs to put on a spectacular
show come spring.
CREATION: Hyacinth purple sensation – will flower perfectly if
chilled.
Make haste
GET
STARTED:
It’s time to
get your
winter
vegetable
garden
growing.
AUTUMN HAS rolled in bringing
shorter days with a definite chill in
the air. Leaves will start to turn as
we embark on a busy month in the
garden.
A very ‘fruitful’ time in the
garden with late harvest of numerous
vegetables such as jerusalem
artichokes, beans, beetroot, carrots,
corn, cucumber, kumara, leeks,
lettuce, onion, potatoes, pumpkin,
radishes, silverbeet, spinach and
tomatoes.
If you haven’t prepared your
winter vegetable garden now, then
get started. Include plenty of compost
and a ‘base’ fertiliser of blood
and bone.
If possible, raise the earth to be
planted to ensure winter veges do
not become water logged over wet
winter months.
Winter veges to plant in April
include broad beans, carrots, cabbage,
broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce,
onions, peas, radish, spinach,
swedes and turnips.
In the flower garden, your
summer annuals will be winding
down. Continue to dead-head
plants where you want to prolong
displays.

ADVICE with
$85
PRIZE
PACK!
Q
A
Instead of having a ‘regular’ lawn, I would like to
plant native grasses and tussocks. What would
you recommend?
Today’s winning question came from
Sasha Williams. Congratulations!
Rather than simply replacing your lawn
with native grasses, we would suggest a
combination of low growing grasses and
native ground covers. This will not only provide
interest in your garden, but the ground covers will also
help suppress weeds from emerging.
The plants listed to the right are suitable for cultivating
in the Canterbury district.
Grasses and
Grass-like Plants:
Aciphylla dieffenbachii
(spear grass)
Aciphylla squarrosa
Anemanthele lessoniania
Carex comans
Carex buchananii
Carex fl agellifera
Libertia ixioides
Libertia peregrinans
Ground Covers:
Acaena inermis
Coprosma acerosa
(Te Puna)
Coprosma taiko
Geranium traversii
Fuchsia procumens
Gunnera prorepens
Mazus radicans
Nertera depressa
Pimelea prostata
Prepare your soil well before planting to ensure your new plants get the best start. To achieve this, incorporate
lots of organic matter such as Daltons Compost, which improves the soil quality and help plants develop
strong, healthy root systems. You can fi nish with a layer of mulch, or perhaps decorative bark or pebble. There is
a wide selection of products available in the Daltons range.
For more advice, read our How to Grow Guides at www.daltons.co.nz/home-gardening/how-to-guides
Bulbs are a
superb way to
add springtime
fragrance and
colour to your
garden after a long
winter. Plant different
varieties to give variations in height and colour. Always label
where the bulbs are in the garden so they are not damaged or
accidently dug up when dormant over winter.

new strawberry plants.
Strawberries crop freely on
one and sometimes twoyear-old
plants, and then
they should be removed.
Strawberries grow best
in fertile soils, and beds
should be raised to ensure
good drainage. Space new
plants 150-200mm apart,
on mounds up to 200mm
above the existing ground
level.
Autumn is the time to
lift and divide any perennials
where overcrowding
has occurred. This involves
trimming any old growth
back to ground level, digging
up, dividing and then
replanting where required.
Not all perennials require
this treatment and therefore
can remain undisturbed
for many years.
Replant containers with
salad vegetables, herbs or
flowering winter annuals
and move them into a position
that is warmer and
sunnier during the winter
months.

Gourmet delights on Emerald Princess
• By Mike Yardley
LOSING WEIGHT while
on-board an ocean cruise is a
forlorn goal.
Virtuously though, I circumnavigated
the promenade deck
of the Emerald Princess so many
times, I felt as if I’d walked my
way to Tasmania. All the more
reason to succumb to the great
slate of culinary salivation bursting
forth.
The old-faithfuls can be found
throughout the ship, from the
billowing buffet ballast at Horizon
Court, to the more formal a
la carte dining rooms of Boticelli,
Da Vinci and Michelangelo.
Cheap and cheerful snacks
abound, whether it’s a slice or
three of poolside pizza from
Prego Pizzeria, hamburgers and
hot dogs at Trident Grill or sweet
servings on a whim from Scoops
ice cream bar.
Generously studded with 13
dining venues, it’s the specialty
dining experiences that lure the
gastronomes for a sense of culinary
discovery, flavourful fun and
design finesse.
The headliner is Share by Curtis
Stone. But my first stop was The
Salty Dog, a playful gastropub
cheerily garlanded in Union Jack
bunting. It’s the share-plates experience
that you should plump for,
AWARD-WINNER: Curtis Stone’s small plates menu caters for Australasian tastes. (Right) – Calamari frites at The Salty Dog.
whereby for an $18 cover charge,
you can select two gourmet plates
from the cravable menu, spanning
melt-in-your-mouth lobster
mac and cheese to wild caught
calamari frites.
Another unmissable gastronomic
encounter can be found at
the premium seafood, steak and
chop house, Crown Grill.
I started with chilean sea
bass and brioche-breaded king
prawns, before hitting the meat.
The globally-sourced range of
premium chops elicited a patriotic
pick on my part, opting for the
New Zealand double lamb chops
in rosemary essence with garden
fresh vegetables. Divine.
The piece de resistance is the
stirring six-course degustation
fine dining affair at Share. With
supreme ocean views over the
ship’s wake, the fresh, instantly
agreeable and homely design
elements mark a huge departure
from the standard cruise ship
aesthetic.
Decorative curios, books and
photos from Curtis’ personal collection,
add to its informal ambience.
A star feature is the sweeping
communal table tailor-made
for sharing food, while exquisite
hand-blown glass pendants,
etched with words like family,
togetherness and travel, dangle
above the table.
The award-winning Melbourne-born
chef who has made
quite a splash in Hollywood,
has crafted a small plates menu
specifically for Australasian tastes.
There are scallops, lightly
seared with a sesame and chickpea
puree, lamb loin matched
with harissa scented couscous
and steelhead trout lying in a
white wine beurre blanc.
The six-course experience
traverses starters, salads, pasta,
seafood, meat with a final flourish
reserved for dessert.
A selection of Curtis Stone
dishes are now served in the main
dining rooms across the entire
fleet of 18 Princess ships.
FAST FACTS
•Princess Cruises operates
a series of Australasian
and South Pacific cruises,
with five ships currently

Bowers Builders
Renovations and house levelling has
long been a speciality of Bowers Builders.
Their team of five builders has 90 years
of collective experience in the industry,
with owners Johnnie and Amanda directly
involved in the management of every
project.
“We will take on the jobs that are outside
the box – nothing is too hard,” say Amanda,
who meets all new clients with Johnnie to
talk over their specific building situation.
“Once we start work on the job our client’s
hardest decision should just be choosing the
paint colour.”
Clear and honest communication is
integral to their business, with all work
completed to a very high standard that will
last over time. From a new garage floor that
is complicated due to land conditions, an
almost complete renovation of an inner city
cottage, to demanding hill sites that require
helicopter access, Amanda and Johnnie
work together to come up with a realistic
solution for all involved.
They are well used to working with a
range of agencies and specialists such as
structural and geotechnical engineers, and
have reliable sub-contractors to complete
any electrical, plumbing, complex brick
work and roofing work.
“We say that anything can be done – some
things just take longer than others,” says
Amanda.

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.

Dropping Shaun Johnson would be pointless
• By Michael Burgess
SHAUN JOHNSON remains
one of the Warriors biggest
conundrums – but dropping him
is not the answer. Especially not
at the moment.
NSW State of Origin coach
Laurie Daley is the latest to call
for it, suggesting on Monday that
Johnson should be benched or
dropped from the squad altogether,
as a reality check to “get
the best out of him”.
In some ways, it’s curious
coming from Daley; he was
a legendary player, but hasn’t
marked himself as the best judge
of halves talent as a coach, using
five different players in the
No 7 jersey for NSW over four
seasons.
But Daley has the right sentiment,
in that he wants Johnson
to reach his potential, so he can
“take his game to the next level”.
But dumping Johnson at the
moment – even for one game –
would be pointless. The 26-yearold
can be a source of frustration
Latest Christchurch news at www.

at the Warriors, and his status
as the No 1 earner at the club
makes him an obvious target.
In terms of play-making and
organisation, he’s not comparable
to Johnathan Thurston, Cooper
Cronk, Daly Cherry-Evans or
Mitchell Pearce – and maybe
never will be.
But he has improved in that
area and is the best play-maker
the Warriors have got. That situation
may change in a few months
if Kieran Foran is fit and firing,
but at the moment there is no
Thursday March 30 2017
better option to run the team.
Johnson is also a game-breaker,
and his mercurial talents
could lift the Warriors out of
their current malaise. Across 129
NRL games, he averages almost
one try every two games, including
plenty of match-winning
efforts, and has 111 try assists.
He’s also been durable and was
the only Warrior to figure in all
24 games last season.
But there are definitely some
unresolved issues with Johnson.
He’s still prone to untimely errors,
more than most of his NRL
halfback peers. And Johnson, for
whatever reason, doesn’t always
stamp his mark on matches.
Johnson does need to be challenged,
and the ideal scenario
may emerge in a few months,
with Foran playing every week
and Ata Hingano and Mason
Lino pushing their case to be in
first grade.
The Warriors go up against the
Titans on Sunday at 4pm at Mt
Smart Stadium.

Club rugby opens with
grand-final rematch
• By Gordon Findlater
SATURDAY’S opening round
of the Hawkins Cup at Linfield
Park will see a rematch of last
year’s trophy grand-final.
New Brighton and Lincoln
University were the two top
teams last year. New Brighton
claimed the round-robin Hawkins
Cup by one point over their
rivals, but Lincoln had the final
say, defeating the seasiders 48-12
in the Hawkins Trophy grandfinal.
The two teams will have a
different look to the sides which
turned out at Rugby Park in July.
New Brighton face a tough
task if they’re to have any chance
of defending the Hawkins Cup
after being dealt a series of cruel
injury blows. They will be without
a large chunk of their forward
pack, which was regarded
as one of the best last season.
Flankers Billy Harmon and
Troy Mangan are both out
for the season after undergoing
shoulder reconstructions.
Hooker Nathan Vella is also out
for the campaign after breaking
his arm while playing for the
Crusaders Knights, while lock
Joe Stewart will miss the season
with a back injury. Midfield
backs Brett Mather and Rhys
Keith are also expected to miss a
large chunk of the season.
“We’re battling a wee bit, it’s
going to be quite a testing season
for us,” said New Brighton
coach Scott Pawson.
Lincoln will be without the
likes of Jordie Barrett and Jack
Goodhue. Last year, they were
regulars for the club side, but
have since gone on to become
Super Rugby regulars.
Pawson believes whatever
line-up Lincoln put out will be a
tough one to overcome.
“You know they’re going to
have young guys with huge potential
each year,” he said.
All six opening round games
will take place at Linfield Park.
Round one
Christchurch v Sumner,
1pm; HSOB v Shirley, 1.15pm;

Siblings team up on court

TWO SETS of brothers can win
their fourth straight premier
Canterbury interclub title for
Cashmere with a win over
Elmwood on Saturday.
Meredith brothers James, Matt

Johnny and Tim have made a
habit of dominating the local
interclub competition. They have
been the core of the Cashmere
team which has won three consecutive
titles.
“This is what we get up for
every year. It should be a great
atmosphere at the club on Saturday,”
said James Meredith.
Cashmere and Elmwood will
meet in the final, which is set to
be a close encounter. The two
met twice during the roundrobin,
taking one win a piece.
Elmwood won 4-2 (matches) at
Cashmere in October. However,
Cashmere won 5-1 at Elmwood
last month.
Form would suggest that
Cashmere already have two
matches in the bag. Since returning

five throws have gone astray in
his four games in 2017.
Codie Taylor is standing out
on in an industrious Crusaders
pack. His lineout throwing
is accurate, he has scored a
try and makes his tackles as
the dominant rake in the jobsharing
role with Ben Funnell.

effectively in his average of 72
minutes on the field, the most
of any New Zealand hooker in
Super Rugby.
However, his Achilles Heel is
his lineout throwing, with the
converted prop operating at 81
per cent. If he wants to challenge
Taylor, he will need to up that.
Having superseded the injured
Nathan Harris at the Chiefs,
Hika Elliot is performing solidly

James Parsons, of the Blues,
has just recently returned from

Toyota Highlander
gets major makeover
• By Ross Kiddie
TOYOTA New Zealand has
facelifted its family-friendly
Highlander.
The large sport utility vehicle
has fresh frontal treatment,
a new powertrain,
and safety upgrades across
the range.
The Highlander is the
first Toyota to adopt an
advanced 3.5-litre V6 engine
producing significant
gains in power and torque
– an increase of 17kW (to
218kW) and 13Nm (to
350Nm) respectively –
over the outgoing model.
Paired with a new direct
shift eight-speed automatic
transmission, the new ratios
deliver improved acceleration
and overtaking ability.
“Highlander has become
established as a firm Kiwi
favourite and the latest
improvements deliver more
of everything families and
fleets want,” says Spencer
Morris, Toyota New Zealand’s
general manager of
product.
“We’ve increased performance,
improved fuel
economy, added additional
safety features and given it a
fresh look.”
The Highlander’s extensive
safety appointments,
which see it achieve a
five-star Australasian New
Car Assessment Program
rating across the range,
are paramount for around
town driving during the
busy working week just as it
is for weekend and holiday
adventures. Knowing this,
ADDING TO New
Zealand’s ever-increasing
choice in light commercial
vehicles, LDV will launch
a double-cab utility vehicle
in July.
Simply titled T60, the
new ute will be available
in two specifications, both
four-wheel-drive and the
choice of automatic or
manual transmission. Twowheel-drive
models will
land towards the end of the
year.
According to LDV, the
specification levels are
comfort and luxury, both
receive leather trim and
high levels of fitment for
both convenience and
safety.
The T60 is powered by a
2.8-litre turbocharged diesel
engine which is rated at
Toyota has applied additional
safety technology
to the entire Highlander
range:
• The Limited gains the
Toyota Safety Sense package
consisting of the precrash
safety system with
automatic braking, high
speed dynamic radar cruise
control, lane departure alert
with steering assistance and
automatic high beam.
• The Limited also has
two front parking sensors
to complement the four
rear parking sensors (available
on all models) and the
addition of a rear cross traffic
alert to the existing blind
spot monitor.
• Emergency stop signal
and trailer sway control has
been added to all models.
Inside, the 2017 Highlander,
GX and GXL
models gain a 4.2in colour
110kW and 360Nm. Both
gearboxes are six-speed
units and each operates
alongside a low ratio transfer
case.
Prices for the T60 will
be announced closer to its
launch here but it is expected
to be below $40,000.
LDV, formerly Leyland-
multi-information display
while the GXL receives a
larger 8in audio display
and now features satellite
navigation with SUNA traffic
alerts.
The Limited now has a
panoramic view monitor –
which provides the driver
with a live 360deg bird’s-eye
view around the vehicle to
see potential obstacles from
all angles and rain-sensing
wipers.
All vehicles have a sliding
second row seat, while the
third row has a 60:40 split
to increase luggage capacity,
offering both practicality
and flexibility for busy
families.
The Highlander is priced
at – GX 4WD V6, eightspeed
automatic, $63,490;
GXL 2WD, $66,490; GXL
4WD, $70,490; Limited
4WD, $81,490.

While renovating the interior of
your home creates a comfortable living
environment and improves its re-sale
potential, the outside of the property
is equally important. Remember, first
impressions count!
Creating an attractive outdoor
environment may involve landscaping,
plantings, decks, pergolas, garaging,
fencing, paths, entrance and driveway, in
addition to the exterior decoration of the
house itself. However, be careful not to
over-capitalise on elaborate landscaping,
if a simple make-over can achieve a
desirable effect.
Draw up plans and a budget for the
areas you plan to re-develop. Ensure any
additional structures such as garaging,
decks, retaining walls and fences have the
required permits and seek advice on the
ideal building materials and methods.
Planting
Discuss with your local garden centre
or nursery which plants will best suit the
size sun and situation of your section and
don’t design a labour intensive garden if
your lifestyle won’t allow you the time to
look after it!
Fences and Gates
These should provide privacy and
security, while also allowing access to
the property for visitors. Try to choose
fence and gate styles that complement
the age and style of your home. Consider
additional aspects such as light, cost,
Landscaping
maintenance, traffic noise and street
appeal when making your selection.
Entrance
The entrance to your house should be
a focal point to welcome visitors, provide
easy access and visually link the inside
and outside aspects of the property.
Whether a traditional verandah, a glass
porch, canvas canopy, pillared portico
or simply an attractive front door and
steps, ensure the colours, shape, style and
surfaces and in keeping with the original
architecture.
Decks, Patios and Courtyards
The New Zealand climate has always
encouraged exterior extensions to the
house whether a colonial verandah,
timber deck, paved patio or European
courtyard. Screened for shelter and
privacy they are attractive “outdoor
rooms” for recreation, entertaining and
outdoor dining and a sure way to enhance
the value of almost any home.
Garages and Carports
Depending on the age of your home,
garage space may be a problem is there
is insufficient access to the side or rear of
the house. It may be possible to construct
a garage or carport close to the street
frontage. In order not to detract from
the visual appeal of the property, it is
important that the dimensions, design
and materials be in keeping with the
existing house. Skillful landscaping and
planting can “soften” the impact.

There has never been a better time to look at
investing in the Oamaru property market! During
the last few months, real estate in the region
has seen a surge in the number of properties
being listed and sold, with some great options in
investment to be found.
Oamaru, is made up of four main suburbs:
Oamaru (central suburb), Oamaru North,
Holmes Hill and South Hill. Average values have
grown relatively comparatively across these
main suburbs and properties are selling, on
average, in about two months.
With a lot of media time in recent weeks, after
data was released showing Oamaru as the fourth
most-viewed New Zealand location on property
website Juwai, we have received a multitude of
calls from out-of-towners who are interested in
investing in property in, or moving to, the North
Otago region.
With a shortage of rentals available, investors
are seeing great returns for what they already
own, and the time is right to increase investment
portfolios. On the other hand, many folk are
also looking at making the move to our region
as they’re seeing the many benefits our lifestyle
here has to offer.
To have a chat about the local
property market, give me a call!

Make The Move To Oamaru!
The Waitaki district is definitely on a roll at the
moment, and that roll looks set to continue
for quite some time yet! With agriculture,
manufacturing and tourism growing strongly
through investment and promotion, Waitaki is
attracting a lot of attention.
Lonely Planet has called Oamaru, “the coolest
town in New Zealand,” and that is a title we are
proud of. Our Council is working hard with our
community to make our district an even more
amazing place.
With so many wonderful attributes going for us,
from our natural environment through to our
built heritage, our eclectic arts and music scene,
and growing economy, we really have a place
with an amazingly positive future.
I’m proud of the sustainable growth we are
experiencing. We are improving opportunities
for our local people, and welcoming a steady but
manageable stream of new people to the area.
They are coming for better lifestyles, good jobs,
business opportunities, and in some cases to
retire. We are a friendly town and a welcoming
district.
If you want to know more, I am
just a phone call away.
