Train victim
amputee
faces
challenges
Morgan Jones was left blind
and an amputee after a horrific
accident – but he is still taking
on dance competitions and
adventure challenges
• By Gabrielle Stuart
MORGAN JONES was six, travelling by train
through Kaikoura when he fell through a safety rail
and onto the tracks below.
He was left with horrific injuries – blind, with his
right leg amputated and one side of his body partially
paralysed.
Tranz Rail was taken to
court over the accident, but
was cleared of criminal
negligence. A settlement was
reached with Mr Jones’ family
outside court.
Now 29, he has been able
to do more than he thought
was possible - including
competing in a dance competition
and taking on an
adventure trip.

Ministry
rejected
hospital
car park
building
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A PLAN for a 700-space car park
near Christchurch Hospital was
rejected two years ago, because a
Ministry of Health group decided
there was “not expected demand
for it.”
But the Canterbury District
Health Board and NZ Nurses Organisation
disagreed at the time,
saying car parks would be needed.
It comes as parking problems
around the hospital have reached
crisis level, with patients missing
appointments and at least two
hospital staff assaulted this year
while walking to their cars.
The Ministry of Health wrote to
the CDHB in June, 2015, saying
it was taking over responsibility
for earthquake rebuild projects,
including “proposed car parking
projects”.
It said they would become the
responsibility of the Governmentappointed
Hospital Redevelopment
Partnership Group, and
contracts for the projects would
be managed by the Ministry of
Health.
In December, 2015, the HRPG
commissioned Deloitte to carry
out a review of car parking need
around Christchurch Hospital.
It looked at a range of options
including building a 700-space car
parking building, but rejected the
idea because it said “there is not
expected demand for it in the next
five years and future demand and
supply beyond that is uncertain.”

MORGAN JONES was sixyears-old
when he fell through
a safety rail on a train to
the tracks below. He lost his
sight, a limb and was partially
paralysed. He is now 29 and
has won a dance competition,
rock climbed and earned a
University degree.
But there is one challenge he
cannot get past at the moment
– getting a job. He is taking
it in his stride, concentrating
his efforts on other goals, but
wouldn’t it be wonderful to see
him employed. Hopefully, we
will have a encouraging update
soon.
Hagley Park and cricket are
two words that can bring up a
lot of emotion. When reporter
Bridget Rutherford started
working on the article on page
3, there was chatter in the
newsroom between cricket diehards
and those who could see
Hands of Hagley’s concerns.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw the first championship cycle meeting, at Hagley
Park on April 17, 1880. On the same day in 1983 Dr Robert Runcie,
the Archbishop of Canterbury, visited the city. On April 19, 1873, the
Christchurch Golf Club was formed. The first course was in Hagley
Park. April 20, 1849, Captain Thomas (in a letter to Sir George Grey)
reveals that he has chosen the present site of Christchurch for the new
settlement – in spite of the fact that both the Nelson and Otago colonists
had rejected it in 1841 and 1844 respectively. On April 20, 1938, the first
Inter-Dominion trotting event in New Zealand was held at Addington
Raceway. Originally scheduled for Easter, the contest was postponed
because of flooding throughout the city. Further flooding after the first
races delayed the finals until May 4. On April 22, 1869, the Duke of Edinburgh
visited. It was New Zealand’s first visit by a royal. On April 23,
1895, the regular Lyttelton to Wellington ferry service started.

TAKE CARE WITH TOADSTOOLS
THere is a shroom boom in
Christchurch as fungi flourish
with the recent rain. A long period
of drought followed by a wet
autumn has sparked a spectacular
showing of varied mushroom and
other fungal species. City council
botanist Trevor Partridge said the
rain had created ideal growing
conditions and toadstools and
mushrooms were popping up in
large numbers. He said a number
were poisonous, so they should not
be eaten.

Fines for Hagley Oval breaches
• By Bridget Rutherford
• By Shannon Gillies

Mr Whyte was selected by the
Kurow Museum Committee to

NOT OUT: Initially Hands off Hagley’s
Martin Meehan tried to hit the Hagley
Oval development out of the park,
but now he is trying to stop more city
council money going into it.
CANTERBURY CRICKET has
continued to breach its resource
consent at Hagley Oval since it
was controversially turned into
an international cricket ground.
Figures released to The Star
show Canterbury Cricket has
been issued nine infringement
notices since October 2014, and
charged $1800 in fines.
Most of them were for failure
to pack up equipment used for
matches, such as portaloos,
television scaffolding and
perimeter fencing, within a day
of the match. There were two
notices issued in 2014, four in
2015 – two of which no action
was taken – and three last year.
Since October 2014, the city
council had received 39 complaints,
with the most recent on
February 25.
They included difficulties
with traffic management during
matches, the late removal of
equipment, and concerns the
pavilion car parks were closed.
Hands off Hagley spokesman
Martin Meehan said the city
council was spending about
$1 million on upgrades for the
cricket season.
He could not understand why
when the consent continued to
be breached.
The upgrades included
$40,000 on sun shades, $125,000
on aluminium temporary steps,
a $105,000 service vehicle roadway
to stop the ground from
getting muddy, and embankment
repairs of $20,000.
Mr Meehan said a city council
staff member told the group the
removable sight screens cost
$460,000.
He said Canterbury and New
Zealand Cricket should pay for
upgrades.
“The only people that benefit
is cricket, and the rest of us pick
up the cost,” he said.
“It is done, you can’t lift it up

But the continuing spend is

Canterbury Cricket chief executive
Lee Germon said it paid
up to $80,000 to lease the oval.
“We certainly pay our way,
it’s up to the council how they
administer that.”
Mr Germon said the number
of breaches was reducing each
year.
Mr Whyte said the
assignment was ‘’right up my
alley’’.
‘’People like Richie are the

EAST FRAME BEGINS
Construction of the East Frame
residential development has
begun. A sod-turning ceremony
was held yesterday to kick
start the construction of the
first 20 terrace homes in the
development known as ‘superlot
4’, on the corner of Hereford St
and Latimer Square. Following
that, construction would begin
on two other sites within the

HISTORIC COTTAGE OPENS
Stoddart Cottage is the oldest
building in Diamond Harbour
and after receiving extensive
repair work due to earthquake
damage it reopened yesterday.
The cottage was closed for a year
while city council contractors
completed work on the heritage
listed building. The cottage is used
partially as a gallery and partially
as a community space for people
to explore. The Stoddart Cottage
Trust chairwoman Paula Smith
hopes that now it is reopened it will
attract more people from the city.
CHASE ABANDONED
Dangerous driving and high
speeds gave police no choice but
to abandon a pursuit in Yaldhurst
early on Wednesday morning.
Police attempted to pull over
the stolen Toyota station wagon
on Old West Coast Rd at about
1.40am. The driver refused to stop
and led police on a “dangerous”
pursuit which was abandoned
shortly after it started. The car
had been stolen earlier on Tuesday
night from Strowan, a police
communications spokeswoman
said.

No charges after attack
• By Andrew King
NO CHARGES have been
laid after a central city
attack that left a woman
in an induced coma with a
crushed windpipe.
On February 25, Amelia
Rayner, 29, was punched
in the throat when her and
her boyfriend were leaving
the Electric Avenue festival
at Hagley Park about 11pm.
While in hospital she
had an operation to have
a metal plate inserted
into her throat to help her
breathe.
Detective Senior Sergeant
Mark Worner told The Star
police have not laid any
charges yet in relation to
the attack, but would not
say why.
“I cannot go into specifics
of that case,” he said.
Police have interviewed
a man believed to have
caused her injury.
Ms Rayner’s father
Gary Rayner said he would
not comment on the outcome.
He said he has engaged a
lawyer.
“It wasn’t going anywhere
so we have got a lawyer
to follow up just what is
happening,” he said.
Mr Rayner said Amelia
was recovering well and

The men allegedly assaulted
her boyfriend,

Hospital car park rejected Man killed paragliding
•From page 1
It concluded existing car parking
in the area was enough to
meet demand in the short and
medium-term.
Canterbury District Health
Board chief executive David
Meates confirmed to The Star he
wrote to the Ministry of Health
disputing the projection.
But he refused to talk about
what he wrote or the Government’s
response afterward, saying
he did not want to “criticise
another agency”.
Health board member Andrew
Dickerson said the CDHB had
been left with its hands tied because
responsibility for car park
decisions had been taken away.
“There was considerable
concern that Deloitte had significantly
underestimated the future
demand,” he said.
NZ Nurses Organisation organiser
Lynley Mulrine said the
need for more parking near the
hospital had been raised regularly
for at least a decade, but the Government
was “not listening”.
“The DHB is in a position
where their employees are unsafe

‘was a fine soldier’
• By Andrew King
THE PARAGLIDER who died
after crashing into the Port Hills
was a “fine soldier” who served
overseas.
James Maaka, a New Zealand
Defence Force soldier, died on
Tuesday while paragliding in the
Port Hills. He was 25.
Deputy chief of army Brigadier
Christopher Parsons said
in a statement yesterday that
Mr Maaka came from a strong
military family.
“He was a fine soldier, avid
paraglider and his regiment
knew him as a good bloke,” he
said.
Mr Maaka was a serving
member of the 2nd Engineer
Regiment based in Burnham.
He was awarded the NZ
General Service Medal, the NZ
Operational Service Medal, the
Timor-Leste Solidarity Medal,
the NZ Defence Service Medal
and the NZ General Service
Medal (Solomon Islands).
Emergency services were
called to the scene on Summit

Vandals no match for Hatch
• By Ashleigh Monk
WHEN A cold, half-hatched
swan egg was taken to the SPCA
last week, there wasn’t much
hope for its survival.
But the cygnet named Hatch
has defied the odds.
He was found in a deserted
nest at Westlake Reserve in
Halswell after vandals terrorised
his family. His parents and two
siblings managed to escape, but
Hatch was left behind until a
passerby found him and rushed
him into the SPCA.
“Only Hatch’s beak was
peeking out of the egg and [the
person who found him] was very
concerned,” SPCA Canterbury
spokesperson Anna King said.
“We did our best to keep the
egg warm and took it in our animal
ambulance to our friends at
the Wildlife Hospital to hatch.”
Once Hatch came out of his
egg, staff at the South Island
Wildlife Hospital tried to reunite
him with his family – but the
attempt was unsuccessful.
Veterinarian Pauline Howard
says Hatch was stomped when
he tried to join his family, so he
would have to be hand-raised
before it was decided what to do
with him.
PEEKABOO: With just his
beak poking out of an egg,
Hatch was taken to the SPCA
where he was given little
chance of survival.
“Ideally, we would release him,
but there is a female swan at
Willowbank and he could go in
as a mate for her,” she said.
Ms Howard said Hatch would
be moved around different foster
homes so he didn’t get too used
to being in one place.
“The big thing is we don’t want
him to bond too much with people,
because then he thinks he’s a
person rather than a swan.
“We do things like have

caregiver.
mirrors around so he can see
himself, and have fluffy toys to
cuddle into.”
Hatch also had to be taught
how to eat, as usually that was
the job of the parents to teach
their cygnets – but his first foster
carer did a “great job” of teaching
him to feed himself.
Hatch would spend the next
few months in foster homes until
the South Island Wildlife Hospital
found a permanent place for
him to live.

challenges
•From page 1
He took home a trophy from
the NZ World Latin Dance
Cup competition last month –
although he won by default as the
only dancer in the category.
He also went to the Give It A
Go! youth amputee camp in New
Plymouth this month, where he
conquered rock climbing, abseiling
and a giant rope course.
“I tell people I’m not scared
of heights, I’m just scared of the
dark,” he said.
But Mr Jones has struggled to
get a job.
He used technology like a
“talking computer” to complete a
Bachelor of Science at Canterbury
University in 2013, hoping to work
in conservation.
“I always loved and wanted to
protect the environment,” he said.
But in spite of several placements,
he could not get work.
He then completed a medical
terminology paper – but once he
finished the course, he said no
companies would hire him.
“I’d be happy to do anything,
but even supermarket jobs I can’t
do,” he said.
Instead he is concentrating
on his dancing, and creating a
sanctuary for native birds in his
backyard.

HISTORIC: The Nurse
Maude building in
Merivale received a
$345,000 heritage
incentive grant
for restoration.
DETERIORATED: The old
Public Trust building has
been saved from demolition
after a $1.9 million landmark
heritage grant.
Heritage grants –
• By Bridget Rutherford
MORE THAN $19 million of
ratepayer money has been spent
on restoring heritage buildings
following the February 2011
earthquake – and advocates say
it’s money well spent.
The city council sets aside
$763,000 every year to use for
heritage incentive grants. It also
gives out central city landmark
heritage grants for larger projects.
Figures
released to The
Star show the
city council has
given $5,725,557
from its heritage
Anna
Crighton
incentive grant
fund over the
last six years.
On top of that, it gave
$10,942,500 in landmark
heritage grants, and $2,650,000
to restoring the Arts Centre
buildings.
The money is used to restore
and repair buildings with
heritage status, listed under the
district plan.
They are subject to a covenant
being put on the property so
it protects the building for the
future.
DAMAGED: McLean’s Mansion got a $1.9million central city
landmark heritage grant so it can be turned it into an art gallery.
Owners can apply for up to
50 per cent of the cost of eligible
work and it could include the fees
of registered architects, engineers
and quantity surveyors.
They are paid after the work
has been finished.
Some of the buildings that
got heritage incentive grants
included the Nurse Maude Clinic
in Merivale, which got $345,000,
New Regent St buildings and a
number of residential homes.
Addington’s Woods Mill buildings
have been given two grants,
but the first one of $884,750 went
back into the fund because it was
not used.
A new developer has received
$900,000 to turn the buildings
into a commercial and retail
complex.

POPPY
FUNERALS
Refreshingly different...
A fresh new face to funerals has stepped on the scene in the form of Poppy Funerals.
The family owned and operated business has a refreshingly different approach to
funerals. In the past, the only options available to families were those instructed by the
funeral directors. This is not how Poppy Funerals feels funeral arrangements should be.
“Families are best placed to know the right way to farewell their loved one. It’s not our
place to tell them how they should grieve. When a family calls us to arrange funerals for
their special person, we do what they want. If they want a traditional mournful funeral
we will do that. But if they want a BBQ in the park, or a party to say good bye – we will
do that too. Funerals have changed over the years, and it’s about time we as funeral
directors changed with the times too. Our staff try to be bright and cheerful. There is
enough sadness around when a person passes. We want to have the celebration of their
life shine through the sadness.”
It is Funeral Directors Jazz and Steve’s intention to change the world we live in,
one funeral at a time. “We are a normal down to earth family, and I know when my
time comes I want a down to earth sort of person there to help my family through.”
Poppy Funerals are focused on family’s needs, offering services from Direct Cremation
to full Celebration of Life burials or cremations, as well as a DIY option where by
Poppy Funerals will do as much or as little as you want. Not being owned by
multi-national or large corporations they have the flexibility to actually meet your needs.

‘money well spent’
Central city landmark heritage
grants have included buildings
such as McLean’s
Mansion, which
received $1.9 million,
$1.7 million
for Christchurch
Club, and the former
Public Trust
Yani
Johanson
building owners
got $1.9 million
last month to
save the building.
Christchurch Heritage Trust
chairwoman Anna Crighton said
every dollar spent on heritage
protection was “a dollar well
spent”.
She said there were strict rules
on what building’s qualified for
grants.
“Otherwise it’s just ratepayer
money just being thrown away.”
She said there were many projects
that needed money following
the February 2011 earthquake, but
for her, heritage buildings were a
priority.
“Once you’ve lost it, it’s gone
forever.”
City councillor Yani Johanson
said following the earthquakes,
the heritage incentive grant
scheme became more
important.
“Heritage became absolutely
critical post-quake.”
City councillor Jamie Gough
said restoring heritage buildings
was difficult because it was time
consuming and costly.
The scheme made it a bit easier
for owners to preserve the buildings,
and it showed the city valued
its historic fabric, he said.

grants, but the first went back

was dropped.

also qualify for heritage incentive grants.

Wesley Mauafu
Passion for helping Pasifika community
Wesley Mauafu is
passionate about helping
Pasifika young people,
whether it’s fighting high
suicide rates or inspiring
them to have a voice in
politics. Last week he was
invited to Parliament to
receive a New Zealand
Youth Award for his work.
He spoke to Gabrielle
Stuart
Why is the issue of suicide so
important to you personally?
It started four years ago, when
I did my first suicide prevention
training. I went as a fresh-faced
young guy, and to be honest, I
was so oblivious to the horrific
statistics of my own Pasifika
young people. They have so
much potential and so much
to give to the community as a
whole, so when I found out we
were perishing and struggling
with our well-being it hit home
a lot. From that day, every time
I have seen a programme or
initiative aimed at well-being, I
am always keen to put my hand
up and say yes, let’s do this. Our
group, PYLET, is the council for
Pacific Youth Leadership and
Transformation. Through this,
we are seriously saving Pasifika
young people’s lives. That’s the
motivation for me.
Do you approach things differently
when you’re working
specifically with Pasifika youth?
I definitely think we do. It’s
little things like understanding
our values. We’re brought up in
our family environment with

fa’aaloalo, which is the Samoan
word for respect, and tautua,
which means service. So service
comes into the community
work that we do, and respect
means respecting our elders.
Understanding our cultural
values helps us work better with
Pasifika youth.
The Pasifika community in
Christchurch is quite tight-knit,
right? Is that a strength, when
you’re fighting something like
suicide?
Well, we originally held three
suicide prevention workshops
and something we found was,
yes, we do have a very strong
community, but within Pacific
cultures there are also a lot of
stigmas we had to try to get rid
of before we could talk about the
actual issues. They were things
like we should sweep it under the
rug, because if we talk to young
people about suicide it might
plant the seed of suicide in their
mind. We also have to bring
down the stigma that you should
feel ashamed if someone in your
family has taken their own life.
We need to communicate with
our young people and our elders
that it’s okay to talk about it and
there is no shame in it, because
we are all going through hard
times. The next question is, how
do you talk to people about it?
That’s what we’re trying now
to impart to our Pasifika community.

and battling suicide earns youth award
That must be particularly important
since the earthquakes?
Definitely. We’re over-represented
when it comes to things
like mental health problems and
depression. A lot of our Pasifika
young people and community
live on the east side, and a lot of
us in the red zone felt we were
treated unfairly – not myself personally,
but it’s something I hear
a lot. It took a long time for the
Canterbury rebuild to make its
way to the east side, for our roads
to be fixed, for our houses to be
fixed. The feeling was, does our
city really care about us, when
it looked like the more well-off
on the other side of the city were
being taken care of first.
So what was the experience at
Parliament like?
It was fantastic. We met with
National MP Nuk Korako and
went to the gallery in Parliament
to watch David Cunliffe’s valedictory
speech, which was awesome.
It was actually my second time
going to Parliament, but the first
time going with my mum and my
sister, which was fantastic to do.
The best thing was that child-like
feeling, when I looked at my
mum and thought, yes, my mum
thinks I’m cool. In terms of the
community work I do, I guess my
friends and family know what I
do, but I don’t really talk in depth
about it. For my family, the only
time they really hear what I do is
when I get an award, so it’s pretty
special. And I’m a ‘mumma’s
boy’, so I just think if my mum
thinks I’m cool, I’m doing something
right in my life.
If it was your second time at
Parliament, when was the first?
I was part of a group presenting
to the Standing Orders Select
Committee, which sets the rules
that dictate how Parliament runs.
We went there saying if you want
more young people to vote and
be involved in democracy, you
need to make changes. They were
things like better utilisation of
Parliament TV and being able
to use your cellphones in Parliament.
And tell me a bit about your
life and interests outside of this
work?
To be honest, this takes a lot of
my life, and I really enjoy doing

this. But I do have other interests.
I play rugby for the Sumner
division 1 team. I’ve always loved
rugby. And I’m an engineering
student at Canterbury University,
currently second year in the civil
engineering department. Hopefully,
I should be done next year.
So you’re planning a career as
an engineer?
I still haven’t fully figured out
what kind of engineering I want
to do, but long term, yes, I want
to be a civil engineer. Short term,
I would love to travel, maybe
use the fact I can play rugby to
see the world, if I could play for
a European team somewhere.
I’d like to widen my experience
and then bring that back home.
But short and long term, I want
to keep working for my Pasifika
young people, in whatever capacity
I’m in.
And for the average person on
the street, is there anything we
can do day-to-day to help fight
suicide and mental illness?
It seems like such an airy-fairy
answer, but just a smile and a
bit of kindness goes a long way.
Having the courage to step out
in faith and ask someone if they
are okay, even if you don’t know
them, whether it’s an outlier in
a crowd, or if it’s a friend who
seems to be acting a tiny bit different.
These are signs, invitations
we call them, to go and talk to
them. Ask them, are you okay?
But at the same time, don’t expect
to be the answer and save their
life, just be there to listen and to
guide them to an actual professional
or counsellor. Don’t feel
the burden, because if something
does go wrong it’s not your fault.
Whatever you can give to a person,
your time or your presence,
is enough.

Free weekend car parks
in central city mooted
• By Bridget Rutherford
FREE CAR parking in
the weekends is being
investigated in a bid to
bring more people back
into the central city.
The city council is looking
into whether free car
parking could be offered
on the weekends in the
central city as an enticement.
City council transport
operations manager Aaron
Haymes said it was considering
temporary free parking,
but it had not made a
final decision.
“The car parks would be
council controlled parks
but the locations are still
under consideration.”
He said it would make
a decision within the next
Aaron Haymes
few weeks after consultation
with businesses and
other parking stakeholders.
There had been substantial
private investment in
car parking buildings, so
it was important not to
undermine that, he said.
City councillor Deon
Swiggs asked staff to
look into it.
“It’s about getting people
back to the central city to
try it out. If they have a
good experience, they will
come back again.”
Central City Business
Association chairman
Brendan Chase said the
idea came up at a summit
the association held and
it would be good for business.
He said another idea was
if someone bought something
at a shop or cafe, they
could be reimbursed for
their car parking fee, or
could get a free ride home
on public transport.
More people were returning
to the central city,
and it was only going to
improve, he said.
Students study life on Mars
• By Ashleigh Monk
WHEN THE time comes
to pack our bags and head
for Mars, Christchurch
youths will be wellprepared.
The Ara Institute of Canterbury
is hosting a series
of workshops to teach high
school students how to get
to Mars, and how to survive
when they’re there.
And though it may raise
a few eyebrows, living on
Mars is not that far off
according to National
Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
NASA predicts a crew,
called Daedalus, will
make the nine-month trip
to Mars in the 2030s to
establish shelter, food and
water sources for future
newcomers.
So in New Zealand’s July
holidays, Ara will be teaching
high school students all
the necessary knowledge
on how to be a good Mars
resident.
At 96 per cent carbon
dioxide and just one per
cent oxygen, the air on
Mars is unbreathable, so
the Daedalus crew will use
electrolosis to convert carbon
dioxide into oxygen.
They will also establish a
hospitable shelter to protect
humans from the temperature
extremes Mars
displays, along with hydroponic
farming and other
methods to grow food.

Parasites could cure
gluten allergies
• By Gabrielle Stuart

for coeliac disease.

allergies

hookworms

when they ate gluten.
A group of Christchurch

They hope to find out exactly
how the hookworms
prevent the allergic reactions,
so they can turn that

extreme cases of coeliac
disease could have a major
impact on people’s quality
of life, and he was hopeful
the trial could help find a

But even if a cure was

War brewing over memorial relocation
• By Bridget Rutherford
A MEMORIAL commemorating
Cantabrians who died in World
War 1 is embroiled in the Christ
Church Cathedral saga – and the
central city RSA has had enough.
Christchurch Memorial RSA
is about to begin discussions
with the city council to have the
cenotaph moved to Cranmer
Square before it deteriorates any
further.
The Citizens’ War
Memorial currently sits on
Anglican Diocese land next
to the Cathedral, but it is the
responsibility of the city council.
It has been fenced off since the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
RSA president Pete Dawson
said they wanted it moved
in time for Armistice Day
commemorations next year –
which will mark a century since
World War 1 ended.
“If we rely on the Government
and the church to get action
here, we’ll be waiting forever,”
he said.
“We’re going to be engaging
with the council shortly.”
He said Cathedral Square was
not suitable to hold the Anzac
Day dawn service anymore
URGENT: Paul O’Connor is spearheading a project to have the Citizens’ War Memorial moved to
Cranmer Square.

because it was too small.
Cranmer Square, where the
commemorations are now held,
had significance because it was a
military camp during the Great
War.
The diocese is allowed to
request the cenotaph be moved,
but it would need to get resource
consent.
A Church Property Trust
spokesman said it would respect
any decision agreed by the city
council and other stakeholders
about the cenotaph’s future.
Paul O’Connor, who is helping
with the moving project, said the
cenotaph was “in the shadow of
that shambles of a Cathedral.”
“It’s the wider Canterbury
memorial to all of those who lost
their lives and we’re treating it
poorly.”
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said there was
no budget to move the cenotaph,
and it had no plans to do so at
this stage.

Trail will be an asset
CANTABRIANS will soon be
able to enjoy a riverside trail
running along the banks of
the Avon River through the
residential red zone.
The 12km transitional Avon
Trail will open in stages from
spring and will allow Cantabrians
and city visitors to walk, run or
cycle from Barbadoes St in the
central city to Pages Rd in New
Brighton.
The whole trail will be completed
and open by early next year.
Construction of the first section
of Avon Trail will start this
month from Retreat Rd/Avonside
Dr through to the Gayhurst Rd
Bridge.
The trail will be prepared at
the same time as the upgrade of
the temporary stop banks. By
smoothing the top of the stop
banks and adding a fine gravel
surface, the trail will be suitable
for a wide range of uses.
The Avon-Otakoro Network is
leading the project, and community
volunteers will help prepare
some sections of the trail. Regenerate
Christchurch has been helping
co-ordinate the work, and
funding has been provided by the
Ministry of Social Development
to the Avon-Otakoro Network.
Gerry Brownlee
Now that the former red zone
has mostly been cleared and
grassed, we can see the potential
of the river corridor.
The Avon Trail is an opportunity
for the public to explore this
area, and I encourage everyone
to do so.
It is an exciting asset for Christchurch,
and an innovative way to
get Cantabrians moving from the
city to the sea.
The trail is great news for our
city, and will help to promote the
regeneration of New Brighton. It
will allow everyone easy access to
the lower Avon and surrounding
red zone.
The transitional trail will remain
in use for at least two years,
as the larger regeneration operation
unfolds around it. Further
opportunities for a permanent
connection from the city to the
sea will be explored later.
This is an important area of
regeneration, and will impact
Christchurch’s future. It is the
first step in creating a peoplefriendly,
green space in our city.

Last week The Star
reported the city council
was looking at setting up
an online hub that had
information for residents
and visitors about
Christchurch as part of the
Smart Cities programme.
Peter Parr, of Southbridge –
At last I’ve come to understand
that the city council believes,
and rightly so, that the public is
stupid, ignorant, unobservant
and gullible.
We’re to get new technologies
with an online hub where we can
get all the information we need
about Christchurch (The Star
April 13). It’s all in the wording,
‘info we need’ not what we may
actually want – like what the city
council is planning, actually doing
or spends our rates on.
The council wrote to me “red
arrow protections is required
when either pedestrians or cyclists
are using the crossing.” Sounds
straight forward but ‘are using’
is not true. In reality the aforementioned
phantom crossers get
an auto green at the expense of
real vehicles waiting to turn. No
wonder we have traffic problems
and frustrated drivers.
I asked the council if the new
Riccarton Rd/Ave light set-up
would be used as a template for
the rest of Christchurch. The
answer was no, that was true
because the city was/is already
being set-up with red-lighting
actual traffic so non-existent
cyclists can have an auto green
light.
The council man claimed a
‘max of 66 vehicles an hour’ turn
right, (east) off Deans to Riccarton
Ave but said they don’t
know how many bikes go north/
south. Interesting that another
newspaper quoted the city council
as claiming 1300 cyclists use
the Hagley Park route each week
day, maybe the new ‘online hub’
will know the real figure.
Will our ‘new hub’ have how
much the city council has spent
on cycle lanes over the last few
years and how much is budgeted
in the next several, will they be
toll-ways to recoup the cost?
Will the new hub have the
number of cars, adult cyclists,
electric vehicles use the likes of
Colombo St, Papanui Rd, Riccarton
Rd and St Asaph Sts?
So many questions but we’ll
have to wait on the answers.

Hard fight for fair wage
TAKE A bow, Kristine
Bartlett.
Your courage, perseverance
and determination to
fight for a fair wage have
made a huge difference to
lives of thousands of workers.
But, as you are the first
to remind everyone, you
did not do this as a lone
individual.
It was your workmates
through your union which
banded together with
you to take a stand that
is life-changing for the
55,000 mainly women care
workers it affects. You are
modern day heroes.
The road to this settlement
has not been easy. It
started back in 2012 when
Kristine, an aged-care
worker from Upper Hutt
fronted union legal action
against her employer TerraNova.
The pay equity claim
brought by E Tū (previously
the Service and Food
Workers Union) argued
that her employer was
under-paying staff because
of the high percentage of
female employees.
It is the first legal
settlement in New Zealand
which recognises that
some jobs pay less because
they are done mainly by
women.
This claim was fought
in the courts by powerful
interests. The Government
itself had lawyers at each
appeal stage of the original
case opposing lower court
decisions.
Throughout the five
years, Kristine and her
union have told the
story of a group of mainly
women who dreaded getting
sick because they can’t
afford to go to the doctor,
who come to work without
food, who walk to work in
the rain because they don’t
have the bus fare.
All the while we were
expecting these women to
do incredibly important
work caring for some of
the most vulnerable in our
society. This simply was
not fair.
So, this week we have
seen a victory for what
is right and the power of
banding together to stand
up for those rights. For the
20,000 workers currently
on the minimum wage of
$15.75 per hour, on July 1
they will move to at least
$19 per hour.
For a full-time worker,
this means they will be
taking home around an
extra $100 a week, which
is over $5000 a year.

Essential Guide to China’s
“Two Sessions”
The annual political sessions in China have drawn worldwide
attention as the fifth sessions of the 12th National People’s Congress
(NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference
(CPPCC), known as the “two sessions”(Lianghui), concluded in
March. However, the “two sessions”, and what they entail, are not fully
understood by many Chinese and overseas observers.
“TWO SESSIONS” IN CHINA’S POLITICAL CALENDAR
The term “two
sessions” refers to the
plenary sessions of
the National People’s
Congress (NPC)
and the National
Committee of the
Chinese People’s
Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC).
The two are held in
early March every
year. Those formal
but wordy titles are difficult to remember, even for Chinese speakers,
therefore, the Chinese moniker “two sessions” (lianghui) was coined.
More than 5000 NPC deputies and members of CPPCC National
Committee attend the sessions. Among them, are top leaders,
renowned economists, entrepreneurs, artists and sportsmen and
representatives from all walks of life. NPC deputies can submit
motions, which are legally binding once adopted, while members of
the CPPCC National Committee can only put forward no-binding
proposals. During the sessions, the central government will reveal
its annual work report, which includes the official gross domestic
product (GDP) forecast as well as information on other major
policies.
NPC AS THE SuPREmE ORgAN Of STATE POWER
According to the Constitution, the NPC is the fundamental political
system in China, with about 2.6 million deputies at various levels.
At the pinnacle of the system sits the NPC which exercises more
than a dozen functions and powers, including the supervision of
the enforcement of the constitution. The central government, the
Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate
answer to the NPC and are supervised by it. The NPC Standing
Committee, a permanent body of the NPC has been active in
inspecting whether governments comply with the law. In 2016, it
conducted six inspections, covering about 30 provinces, autonomous
regions and municipalities.
The NPC representatives include people from various backgrounds
and cover a good cross-section of society. Direct election applies
in the selection of township and county-level deputies, while the
deputies at the prefecture, provincial and national levels are elected
by lower level deputies.
NPC deputies at various levels are key channels for community
voices, reflecting local opinions and problems and enabling people
to be masters of the nation. Deputies are both entitled and obliged to
stand for the people’s interests and express their requests.
NPC deputies are not divided into different caucuses according to
party background but into 35 delegations based on where they are
elected from, including 31 provinces, autonomous regions and
municipalities, in addition to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the
military. Such an arrangement is pragmatic, given China’s large
territory and huge population, and ensures that NPC deputies are
true representatives of the people.
Though they are part-time, NPC deputies are actively engaged in state
affairs. At the annual full session, they review and vote on important
legal documents and personnel changes, including electing president
and vice president of China every five years, as well as submit
motions and proposals. Since 2005, around 500 motions have been
submitted by deputies to every annual session of the NPC. When not
in session, they interact with the people, take up training programs,
and participate in inspections of law enforcement and surveys on
important or urgent issues.
OuTCOmE Of NPC ANNuAL SESSION
This year, among 2,838 NPC deputies present at the closing meeting
of NPC annual session, 2,812 voted in favor of the government work
report; 2,793 for the work report of the NPC Standing Committee;
2,606 for the work report of the Supreme People’s Court; and 2,606
for the work report of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.
Lawmakers also approved the General Provisions of the Civil Law, the
decision on the quota and election of deputies to the next 13th NPC
to be convened from 2018, and the methods for electing deputies to
the 13th NPC from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative
regions. Other documents approved by the lawmakers included the
2017 national economic and social development plan, and the 2017
central and local budgets.
CPPCC AS TOP POLITICAL ADvISORy bODy
The CPPCC is an important platform on which various political
parties, people’s organizations, and people of all ethnic groups and
from all sectors of society work together democratically participating
in state affairs. As China’s top political advisory body, CPPCC
facilitates China’s multiparty cooperation and political consultation
mechanism.
The main functions of the CPPCC are to conduct political
consultation, exercise democratic supervision and participate in the
discussion and the handling of state affairs. Political consultation
covers major principles and policies proposed by the central and
local governments and matters of importance concerning political,
economic, cultural and social affairs. Democratic supervision means
offering suggestion and criticism, as well as supervision over the
implementation of the Constitution, other laws, regulations and
major policies, and over the work of government agencies and their
functionaries.
CPPCC members come from China’s various walks of life and ethnic
groups. Most of the CPPCC members are experienced political
figures, social celebrities, and experts and scholars specializing in
various fields.
SETTINg ACHIEvAbLE gROWTH TARgET
One of the most important agendas of “two sessions” is revealing the
government work report. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in delivering
government work report pledged to continue reforms to attain
the economic growth target of about 6.5 percent this year despite
challenges ahead. The realistic growth target this year will help steer
and steady expectations and make structural adjustments as well as
help achieve the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in
all respects by 2020.
Last year, China’s GDP reached
74.4 trillion yuan (10.8 trillion
U.S. dollars), a 6.7-percent
growth, outpacing most other
economies and contributing
more than 30 percent of global
growth. Despite challenges,
China created 13.14 million
urban jobs and increased per
capita disposable income by
6.3 percent. About 12.4 million
people shook off poverty.
Premier Li announced that in 2017, China will keep its CPI increase
at around 3 percent, and create more than 11 million urban jobs
with a registered urban unemployment rate within 4.5 percent. The
country will also reduce its energy consumption per unit of GDP by
at least 3.4 percent. Noting that China must be ready to face more
complicated and graver situations including sluggish world economic
growth and growing trend of protectionism, Li expressed his
confidence that difficulties will be overcome as the country has a solid
material foundation, abundant human resources, a huge market, and
a complete system of industries.

ACCELERATINg SuPPLy-SIDE STRuCTuRAL REfORm
According to the government work report, efforts of supplyside
structural reform will center on a variety of areas, including
streamlining administration, reducing taxes, further expanding
market access, and reducing ineffective supply while expanding
effective supply. To be specific, China will further reduce steel
production capacity by around 50 million metric tons and coal
capacity by at least 150 million metric tons this year. It also highlighted
cutting excess urban real estate inventory, bringing down the leverage
of enterprises, reducing costs for enterprises and strengthening areas
of weakness including poverty eradication.
fuRTHER OPENINg-uP
Leaning against the anti-globalization headwinds, the Chinese
government emphasized the need to further open up the economy
and attract foreign investment. While joining a panel discussion
during the “two sessions”, President Xi Jinping vowed the country
would keep on opening up on all fronts. Premier Li Keqiang also
detailed unprecedented opening-up measures to the outside world in
the government work report.
According to the report, significant improvements will be made
in the environment for foreign investment. Service industries,
manufacturing and mining will be more open to foreign investment.
Foreign firms will be able to get listed on China’s stock markets and
issue bonds. They will also be allowed to participate in national science
and technology projects. Foreign firms will be treated the same as
domestic firms in
license applications,
standards setting,
and government
procurement, and
will enjoy the same
preferential policies
under the Made in
China 2025 initiative,
a plan to modernize
the manufacturing
sector.
Moreover, China will open its door wider and import more products
and technologies from overseas. And China will extend the practice
of processing international trade through a single window, which
enables cross-border traders to submit regulatory documents at a
single location and thus improves efficiency. The authorities will
achieve nationwide integration of customs clearance procedures this
year.
SAfEguARDINg PEACE AND STAbILITy IN ASIA-PACIfIC
At a press conference after the conclusion of the “two sessions”,
Premier Li Keqiang stressed China hopes to see continued peace and
stability in the Asia-Pacific region. He said Asia-Pacific is the common
home for all countries in this region, and China does not want to see
any party feeling compelled to choose sides under the influence of the
Cold War mentality. China hopes that the Asia-Pacific region will be
one that enjoys good order and stability, a region that is able to work
out issues through consultation and principles, properly manage
differences and has the wisdom to resolve differences.
Premier Li mentioned China and ASEAN have been pushing
forward consultation on the Code of Conduct (COC) in the South
China Sea, and substantial
progress has been made in
this regard. China hopes
to see continued peace
and stability in the South
China Sea, believing
that specific disputes
should be addressed and
resolved through dialogue
among the parties directly
concerned.
He also stressed that China
and the United States have
been cooperating with each other for a long time in the Asia-Pacific
region, and there is a wide area of common interests and cooperation
between the two countries. Many U.S. multinationals have placed
their Asia-Pacific headquarters in China. He hopes the areas of
cooperation between the two countries will continue to expand.

Visiting the mystical city of Edoras
• By Mike Yardley
Latest Christchurch news at www.

Thursday April 20 2017
IT’S THE type of scenery that
screensavers are made for – Mt
Sunday, deep in the heart of the
Canterbury high country.
I always find it fascinating to
experience your own turf through
the lens of a tourist, gleaning fresh
perspectives from the outside
world on the place you call home.
Better known to movie-fans
as the mystical city of Edoras, I
recently joined a guided journey
to this spectacular cinematic location
with Hassle-free Tours.
Heading south of Christchurch,
in a comfortable six-wheel Toyota
Land Cruiser, with elevated seating
and panoramic windows, our
driver-guide, Hammond, set sail
on his illuminating, chatty commentary
on the two-hour drive.
We entered the Hakatere
Conservation Park, flanked by
the alpine lakes of Camp and
Clearwater and their tight cluster
of rustic batches. A quick photostop
to soak up the expansive
high country vistas served merely
as an appetiser for the majesty
that lay ahead.
On a heavily rutted gravel
Hakatere-Potts Rd, bracketed
in golden hills of snow tussock,
matagouri and toetoe, the most
celestial viewpoint appeared at
the Mt Potts Cutting, stretching
across the broad basin of the
Rangitata Valley, buttressed by
heroically high mountains and
sheer cliffs.
Welcome to the Kingdom of
Rohan. Much of the land belongs
to Mt Potts Station, however, in
the wake of the Lord of the Ringsinspired
popularity, DOC created
an easement to Mt Sunday aka
Edoras.
From the public car park, it’s a
15min walk up the southern spur
of Mt Sunday. However, one of
the many advantages of taking
the journey with Hassle-free
Tours is that it is the only operator
with a concession to drive past
the car park, fording the gin-clear
streams and up part of the mountain,
using the rutted track on the
northern spur, which the land
cruiser made light work of.
From there, it’s a rather effortless
stroll to the summit. Sixhundred
metres above sea level,
this rocky, protruding jewel in the
MAJESTIC: Rutted gravel
roads are no problem to the
Hassle-free Land Cruiser.

Rohan sword.
middle of this insanely photogenic
valley beckoned us like a
beacon. After we’d mounted the
summit, the 360deg alpine panorama
is so enthrallingly kaleidoscopic,
so jaw-droppingly epic,
not even a month of Sundays
basking in this perspective would
become boring.

There’s Erewhon Station of
Clydesdales-fame, the serpentine
braids of the Rangitata River, the
Southern Alps, the expansive valley
plain and the silvery, slinking
trail of Potts River. The air was
so crisp and clear, the mountains
seemed magnified, with their
sharp edges and spectacular
shingle fans.
Only the sound of happilyclicking
shutters, competed
against the strengthening howls
of the wind. The wind-speed
reached 72km/h as we took in the
summit spectacle and endured an
involuntary facial exfoliation.
Notorious for wind gusts, Hammond
remarked that at the time
of shooting, the Rings crew were
buffeted by wind gusts as high as
180km/h. The real beauty of the
Hassle-free tour is all the insightful
behind-the-scenes nuggets.
On one particularly windy day,
Sir Peter Jackson’s glasses flew off
his face, over the cliff, never to be
seen again. There’s a movie relic
to hunt for.
Sir Peter stumbled upon this
cinematic location by sheer accident.
His location scouts were
choppering down to the West
Coast, but were forced to fly east
due to bad weather, chancing
upon Mt Sunday by a stroke of
sheer luck. Many of the riders
of Rohan were actually women
from the local pony clubs in mid-
Canterbury.
Hammond also explained how
the construction of the city of
Edoras took nine months, showing
us photos of the elaborate sets,
including Golden Hall, which
graced this rocky outcrop. The
cast and crew only spent 11 days
actually shooting on sight.
In spite of the alpine location,
miraculously, they didn’t see one

equipped with an arsenal of replica
weaponry and flags from the
movie, which we had great fun
posing with for obligatory photos.
A variety of movie featurettes
were played to our group, including
some cracking bloopers.
What really shone through was
how much the cast genuinely fell
in love with Mt Sunday. Driving
back to Christchurch, Hammond
finally revealed that he was Hammond
Peek, the double Oscarwinner,
who sound engineered
the Rings trilogy.
After 36 years in film and
television, since 2006, Hammond
has been a driver-guide for
Hassle-free Tours. He only works
a couple of days a week, so you
may want to request a date when

ANZAC DAY, TUESDAY APRIL 25
Honour and respect
On April 25, 1915 New Zealand and
Australian troops landed on the Gallipoli
Peninsula in Turkey in a bloody campaign
that saw 2779 New Zealanders give their
lives as well as over 100,000 Turkish,
British, French and Australian servicemen.
As news of the terrible events reached
New Zealand, there was an outpouring of
national pride in the courage shown by our
soldiers in the face of appalling adversity
and sacrifice.
That pride continues today. Since most
of those who died on April 25 have no

Gallipoli Peninsula, and their names are
remembered forever on war memorials
throughout the Nation.
Anzac Day has come to symbolise the
respect of the nation for all those killed in
war, and also honours returned servicemen
and women. In Christchurch, our local
communities from Akaroa to Wigram Air
Force Museum are marking the event. This
year, the city’s Dawn Service begins at 6am
in Cranmer Square with the traditional
parade, a service and wreath-laying
ceremony. A citizens’ service will be held
at the Transitional Cathedral in Latimer
Square at 10am.
The resiliance of the Kiwi spirit is marked
on April 25 and reflected in the symbols of
courage such as the Bridge of Remembrance
and the Citizen’s Memorial in Cathedral

Cantabrians that, although damaged, they
are still standing tall in the Garden City.

Armstrong
with about

on the Gallipoli campaign.
Students involved in
The Court Theatre’s youth
programmes will study Armstrong’s
play Anzac Eve with
the playwright. It delves into
young New Zealanders’ views
on the Gallipoli commemorations.
As well as a playwright,
Armstrong is a screenwriter,
trumpet player and columnist
who has had work feature on
stage, radio and television.
Anzac Eve is a modern-day
comedy telling the story of
four opinionated young adults
who meet the night before the
dawn commemorations at
Gallipoli.
As well as focusing on the
historic material in the show,
students will study key techniques
behind acting.
“We will also have a chance
to talk about acting and how
our actors perform a role and
digest all this information and
turn it into a play,” Armstrong
said.
He said he wrote the play
because he felt the country
needed to look at Anzac Day
through different viewpoints
and was interested to know
what it meant to younger
people.
“When I was growing up
in the 1970s, I didn’t want to
know about it basically. There
was the Vietnam War on. The

But with both of his grandfathers

talents locally in Christchurch’s
latest performing arts venue
“The Piano”.
Warrant Officer
Johnston said
“the venue is
ideally suited for
a traditional brass
band concert and
it will be a great
afternoon of music
making”.
The NZArmy Band’s program
will be a trip down memory
lane as the programme features
classic brass band repertoire
such as Eric Ball’s Resurgam
and Kingdom Triumphant.
The band has six current New
Zealand solo champions and
will feature three of them
during the
concert. Private
Kyle Lawson
will perform
Oasis, Lance
Corporal
Joe Thomas
will perform
Shenandoah
and Sergeant
Kevin Hickman
will perform Ave Maria.
As is appropriate with the
concert being so close to
ANZAC day, the band will also
feature Fernleaf Headstones
and Passchendaele.
Both of these pieces
were written for
the band by past
member, world
renowned composer
Dwayne Bloomfield.
Fernleaf Headstones
was written for
the repatriation of
the Unknown Warrior and
Passchendaele depicts the
tragic events of the Third Battle
of Ypres, which to this day is
still the most deadly day in New
Zealand’s wartime history. The
programme is rounded off with
a couple of classic hymns and
of course it would not be an
NZ Army Band
concert without
a march or two.
Director of
Music of the
New Zealand
Army Band
Major Graham Hickman
is excited to have the
band performing such a
traditional programme
in their home town. “The
band is in a really strong
position at the moment
with so many fine players,
including seven current
members of the 2017 National
Youth Band and 14 current or
past National Band members
within the ranks”.

“It was a massive thing on
both sides of the family . . .
one grandfather limped for
the rest of his life and died
quite young. The other had
a chest wound and coughed
every winter,” he said.
Armstrong said Anzac Eve
looks at why the country
chooses to commemorate the
war and what young New
Zealanders were doing there
in the first place.
“I think it is time to start
saying what the hell were we
doing there, why were we
there, why did such terrible
defeats occur, how did we lose
so many and are we in danger
of this happening again?”
More than 2700 New Zealanders
died in the Gallipoli
campaign.
Armstrong said he feels
some facts in war history have
been “glossed over,” including
how many French died in Gallipoli
and how Maori soldiers
were treated.

Gardening
What to grow
near fruit trees
The fascinating world of companion plants is
one to explore. Rebecca Lees writes about
how they can give your fruit trees a boost
PEACH COMRADE: Tansy
planted with ‘blackboy’
peach tree. Tansy deters
a raft of harmful flying
insects and is an excellent
companion for the fruit
garden.
COMPANION PLANTING is one
of the most enjoyable things you can
do in the fruit garden, especially if
you begin with a blank canvas.
Thanks to the interplanting of a
host of companion plants under and
around fruit trees, dull lifeless soil
over time becomes full of organic
matter, and alive with beneficial
creatures crawling amongst it. The
soil, now more fertile and robust,
can aid the trees’ growth and access
to nutrients, as well as increase
the ability for the trees (and wider
garden area) to keep pests and
disease in check.
Companions aren’t a magic wand,
there are plenty of other tasks a
gardener undertakes to ensure fruit
trees are healthy and productive, but
they’re a great tool and one I’ll never
go without.
How does it work?
Companion plants can:
•Lure pests to them and in turn
help keep those pests away from
other susceptible plants.
•Confuse pests by disturbing the
visual and chemical attributes that
help pests find host plants.
•Attract predatory insects, which
then naturally lower the pest count
in your garden.
Keep an eye out
If you’re particularly observant
you may witness companions
working their magic. You may
notice ladybirds, a predatory insect;
FRUIT FRIEND: Stinging nettle
attracts ladybirds, which eat
aphids.
or spot a praying mantis leaping
out, catching and devouring a
white butterfly. As your companion
plants become established, it’s really
exciting to see these things unfold in
your garden.
Bees
Planting to encourage bees and
other pollinators into the garden
helps with fruit-tree pollination. Try
to plant those which flower around
the same time your fruit trees
blossom. Some plants bees enjoy
(which also benefit the fruit garden)
include borage, rosemary, lemon
balm, basil, coriander, thyme and
lavender.
Comfrey
An outstanding companion plant
for fruit trees, comfrey brings up
nutrients from deep down in the
subsoil and releases them as the
leaves die back. I plant it around all
my fruit trees. It will grow from a
tiny piece of root – making it easy to
propagate, but difficult to get rid of
once you have it.
Phacelia
I sprinkle phacelia seeds wherever
there is a space in my garden. The
flowers are rich in nectar, and the
plant helps boost populations of
predatory insects.
Don’t plant grass
Many orchard floors are covered
in grass, with fruit trees, of all the
same type, neatly planted in straight
rows. This may seem pleasing to the
eye, but it is a field day for pests, and
can make it difficult for fruit trees to
grow well. Couch grass, for instance,
releases a growth inhibitor via its
roots, and this can slow or even
stunt the growth of many fruit trees.
When you must plant grass
Mix things up a bit to add
diversity and other benefits. You
could include nitrogen-fixing
clovers, lucerne, dandelions,
mustard, and allow nettles to grow
also. Stinging nettle allowed to grow
around fruit trees helps with fruit
tree health in many ways, including
being a host to predatory insects.
To attract predators
There are many plants which
attracts predators to the garden,
some to try include: Flowering
parsnips, fennel, carraway, hyssop,
lemon balm and dill. Let all of these
plants flower.

Girls’ High School
Te Kura o Hine Waiora
At Christchurch Girls’ High School / Te
Kura o Hine Waiora we believe each girl
should be encouraged and guided to be all
she can become. We want her to be aware
of the myriad of possibilities that exist so
that she can become confident, resilient
and skilled; a young woman who stands
proud and tall, in any context, who not
only has a voice but something to say and
who is able, to use the business metaphor,
take a seat at any table she chooses.
We believe we must educate, nurture
and inspire young women. We wish to
challenge our students to be discerning
critical and creative thinkers, who are
comfortable with the concepts of hard
work and service. By providing a wide
range of opportunities, both inside and
National Secondary Schools

outside the classroom, we want our
students to mature as individuals.
The Christchurch Girls’ High School
/ Te Kura o Hine Waiora vision ensures
our young women appreciate the rich
heritage of tradition, recognise the
necessity of innovation and understand
that excellence should be a part of all that
they do. Young women who realise that
“excellence is not an act but a habit.”
We want a Christchurch Girls’ High
graduate to remain open to possibility
and seize opportunity so that her future is
not predetermined by others. Instead, we
want her to have the skills, qualifications
and experiences that allow her the
freedom to create her own destiny.
Burnside High School
Open Evening 2017
Burnside High School is pleased to
invite members of the community to
our Open Evening on Tuesday 16 May.
We are well aware of the significance
parents place on the transition from
Primary or Intermediate to Secondary
School and how important it is to
make the right decision about this
transition.
Burnside High School is a large
secondary school, a centre for academic
excellence, with an outstanding record
of academic, cultural and sporting
success. The size of the school ensures
that there is an exceptionally wide
range of subjects and extra-curricular
opportunities available. This provides
flexibility for students to follow a
pathway suited to their ability, interests
and skills.
The unique structure of the school
retains all the benefits of a large school
but with students in Divisions of
approximately 700. This ensures that
students are known on an individual
basis and are supported and mentored
by senior students, Form Teachers,
Deans and Guidance Counsellors.
This strong pastoral and guidance
focus helps Burnside High School
students strive to excel and develop
into well rounded New Zealanders.
Students achieve well above the level
The Star
of similar schools in the attainment of
NCEA certificates and endorsements
and perform to the highest level in a
range of local, regional and national
academic, cultural and sporting
competitions. The school is renowned
for its Specialist Music Programme, the
only such programme in the country.
The Open Evening offers Year 8
students and their families a chance
to view the facilities and to experience
some of the opportunities Burnside
High School is proud to offer its
students.

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
The ultimate campus for
Avonside and Shirley
A large Performing Arts Centre, three full-sized
Gyms (complete with climbing wall) and four
Sportsfields are among the key facilities that will be
enjoyed by Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley
Boys’ High School in the future.
The two schools are being rebuilt alongside
one another and next to the new QEII Sport and
Recreation Centre. They will open in time for Term
Two of 2019 so students who enrol to study at the
schools next year, will only spend just over a year on
the schools’ existing sites.
The new campus’ design was created by New
Zealand’s ASC Architects – part of the ShapED
consortium that is building and will also maintain
the new schools.
Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume says being
able to start from scratch has enabled ASC to come
up with the ‘ultimate campus’.
“We are delighted. The new campus will feature
better facilities than either of our schools have ever
had in the past.”
Shirley Boys’ Headmaster John Laurenson agrees,
describing the design as modern and sympathetic
to the surrounding area.
“The two schools will be set back from Travis
Road with numerous trees and landscaped areas. It
will be a very green campus,” says John Laurenson.
As well as the major facilities, each school will
have a long list of specialist learning facilities.
Highlights include an Electronics Lab, a 2D and
3D Printing Room, six Science Labs and an Indoor
Fitness Centre (complete with exercise equipment
including rowing machines, stationery bikes and
treadmills).
Sue Hume says the design enables the schools to
offer students completely new experiences.
“The facilities are just so much better than what
we have now. For example, in each school’s Social
Sciences and Media there is a large Editing Suite,
Presentation Space, two Recording Studios and a
Media Studio. It’s a big step up,” says Sue Hume.
John Laurenson says the schools will continue to
deliver quality single sex education.
“Students will spend most of their day in a singlesex
environment – that is really important to us.
Single sex education benefits both boys and girls.
Our students will also benefit, both educationally
and socially, from being able to learn alongside and
mix with students from the partner school. It is a
fantastic opportunity.”
Two of the gyms on the campus will feature a climbing wall and be able
to be linked for major events. The schools will also share a third gym
The schools will have numerous outdoor areas that will be
landscaped to enable students and teachers to work outside.
The front of the campus will face Travis Road but be set behind a large landcaped courtyard and plantings.

Formation is at the heart of the education
Middleton Grange School provides – a
whole of life formation. We see learning
as holistic; it aims to instruct the mind,
shape the heart and equip the hand. The
root of formation is faith and so Middleton
Grange not only provides a first rate general
education but also biblically based teaching
in the Christian faith.
Formation of the mind is not primarily
intellectual contemplation or conceptual
mastery but a learning that nurtures
wisdom and discernment. It is a learning
that challenges the mind to think, discern
and critique the ideas and theories pupils
are exposed to from a Christian perspective.
Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows
the formation of the heart so that it shapes
Christian Integrated
Schools
Working together for the good of
students and families has been a successful
recipe for Christian Integrated Schools in
Christchurch.
The Christian School Network has been
in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield
Christian School, Emmanuel Christian
School, Hillview Christian School and
Middleton Grange School decided in
2005 that there was much to be gained
by working together cooperatively.
They recognised opportunities to share
successful teaching practice, curriculum
development initiatives across a wide
spectrum of school operations as well as
cooperatively strengthening their special
the character of each pupil to develop
habits of righteousness, compassion and
integrity. This formation of the mind and
heart generates responsiveness. We want
our pupils to engage in the society they
live in, to be of benefit and blessing in a
practical way.
For Middleton Grange School, while our
academic results are of the highest level,
what is highly prized, is that our pupils
exercise wisdom, serve the community
and promote the well-being of others. It is
about forming the pupil to be the person
God created them to be.
All of this is summed up in the school
motto: Character, Excellence, Service for
the Glory of God.
Christian Character. They recognised that
their ability to serve students and families
was greatly enhanced by working together
in a close and trusting relationship.
The success of the network has seen other
schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece
Rangiora New Life School became part of
the network. The schools joined together to
support the genesis of Ashburton Christian
School and also culminated in the start up
of a brand new school in Rolleston in 2015.
The schools have developed interlocking
enrolment schools which assists in
providing transparent pathways in
Christian education from new entrant
through to Year 13.
A further strength has been a cooperative
engagement with the Ministry of Education
who have been pivotal in assisting the
networks successful development.

A Selwyn House School education is one of
the greatest gifts you can give your daughter.

to ensure all our girls receive a remarkable
education that will prepare them for the

Proudly, authorised to deliver the Primary
Years Programme (PYP), we are committed
to providing a continuum of international
education to our girls. The focus from Early
Childhood to Year 8 is on the total growth
of the developing girl, encompassing
intellectual, social, physical, emotional,
spiritual and cultural needs. The
International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP
is an international, transdisciplinary
programme.
Parents want the best for their
daughters and, together with you, our
teachers work to ensure we inspire all
our girls to love and to be committed
to learning as they develop their unique
way of being ‘remarkable.’ To achieve
this, we actively encourage the girls to
think about what sort of person they
want to be, what life they want to lead
and what they are prepared to stand up
and fight for.
We believe in the strength of tradition,
the promise of the future and the power
of education and inspiration to equip our
girls to face our continually-changing
world with confidence and enthusiasm.
Our girls stand out among their peers.
They are confident, articulate and
determined young women who have the
values, skills, and attributes needed to
not only achieve their goals but to make a
difference in their communities.

environment, small class sizes and
comprehensive approach to learning

Mairehau vs Wild
The annual ‘Mairehau vs Wild’ Year 12
Physical Education camp was recently. After
days of torrential rain, the team was blessed
with gorgeous weather, with the sun shining
down on our epic adventures!
Day 1 included raft building, kayaking
and paddle-boarding at Lake Rua. The girls
easily beat the boys in the raft building task,
much to the boys’ dismay! Next stop was
the Birch Hill Cemetery to see a tribute to
the horses who served and died in World
War 1. We were humbled by this impressive
memorial, and its stunning and poignant
location.
Day 2 we scaled Mt Oxford. This lofty
beast took us about 7 hours to climb, but
we were treated to breathtaking panoramic
views.
That evening, we visited the Oxford
Observatory. This was a real highlight. We
got to see Jupiter, its ‘rings’ and four of its
moons. We also got to see our closest star, a
supernova and a ‘black hole’, and we found
out where all our star signs live in the sky.
On Day 3, we mountain-biked from base
to Kowhai Riding School, where we got to
learn to ride and trot horses, before taking
them on a trek. A delicious fish and chip
lunch followed, before making the journey
back.
This was a wonderful trip. We made new
friends, and learned and experienced many
new things.

all the many amazing opportunities we can
offer our students. Come along to our Open
Evening and find out more!

As
When considering what our young people
need in order to be positive, successful and
contributing citizens the following positive
dispositions, alongside formal qualifications,
are thought to be important: empathy, selfcontrol,
integrity, embracing diversity and
grit.
Hillmorton High School, catering for Years
7 to 13, has a diverse student population in
terms of socio-economic status, ethnicity,
prior learning, ability and disability. We fairly
well represent New Zealand society and as
such, our students study alongside students
from varying backgrounds. Through this
alone they develop empathy, self-control,
and a deep understanding of diversity which
we embrace. Our students develop into
young adults where they are strong in their
own identity; they have integrity.
We know that Hillmorton students take a
broad range of pathways on leaving school
including university and understand the
value of hard work and determination.
We continue to work to understand how to
teach in ways that help to develop “grit” and
resiliency. We know to praise “effort” and I
encourage all parents to do the same.
Working together, our young people are
developing the positive dispositions, skills
and knowledge needed so that they can

Hagley sets you up for life
If you are looking for a high school
where teachers work closely with you
to ensure you get the very best out of
your high school years, then Hagley’s
Junior Graduating College is the right
choice for you.
We are often asked, what makes Hagley different? We
have a culture like no other. No-one wears a uniform
and everyone is on a first name basis, but that is just for
starters. Students come to Hagley because they’re treated
with respect and valued as individuals.
Hagley’s Junior Graduating College has small classes
and we take a personal approach. It is all about what we
can do to help you. Classes are fun, focused and inspire
you to be the very best you can. What does that mean
for you? You feel that your teachers are interested in you
and care about your learning, that you are experiencing
success – and much more.
We love our students aiming high and doing well.
Students graduate into Hagley’s large Senior College
where they succeed academically and in many other ways,
as well as become our school leaders. This is all built on
the great foundations laid in our Junior College.
Hagley’s Junior Graduating College combines the
best of both worlds: freedom to be yourself and enjoy
school in a structured and supportive environment
where achievement is celebrated. Experience the Hagley
difference – it will set you up for life!
Pathways at
Linwood College
In 2017 Linwood College is offering a
range of events for prospective students and
their parents.
Due to a heightened demand, this year
we are introducing the opportunity to meet
individually with our principal, Richard
Edmundson. Available times are noted on
the flyer. Incoming Yr 6 and Yr 8 students
will have a Taster Afternoon and then for the
Open Night each family will have their own
individual guide who is a present Linwood
College student.
Aspiration and success: learning at
Linwood College is founded on personalised
pathways. Learning is personalised and
individual needs are recognised and met.
Each individual receives the content and
style of education that is appropriate for
their specific stage of learning and social
development.
Our school’s Yr 7-13 curriculum creates
aspiration and community. There is
educational and social continuity, yet with
the “rites of passage” that students of all ages
stress are important as they grow and mature.
It brings out the best in our students.
Students know that what they are learning
is based on their own individual pathways.
They increasingly take responsibility for
their own learning, knowing that with
positive actions and effort they will achieve.
Students learn best when who they are
– language, culture, identity – is affirmed.
The personalized pathways model creates
whānau-school partnerships as it recognizes
and nurtures the uniqueness of each one of
our students and their specific capabilities. It
creates multiple opportunities for leadership
so students excel and develop independence.
A new school is coming
Make it yours

FOR
SALE
Popular Colorado
up for a challenge
• By Ross Kiddie
NEW ZEALAND has
become quite the
ute-buying nation.
That doesn’t surprise me,
Kiwis are following trends
out of North America and
Australia.
In the last few years ute
sales here have shot up to
record levels. While it’s
fair to say most buyers
are choosing Ford and its
Ranger, all manufactures
which ply that part of the
market are claiming success.
None more so than
Holden with its Colorado,
it is selling hard on the
heels of Ranger, a new
model was launched last
year and as I reported
in these columns in
November, it is a standout
in terms of refinement and,
of course, practicality.
That evaluation focused
on the mid-spec LTZ; five
days with the range-topping
Z71 has done nothing
to alter my affection for the
popular four-wheel-drive
double cab.
Clearly, the Z71 is aimed
more towards the recreational
buyer, it has decals,
stripes, body kit and a
level of specification which
wouldn’t work for many
industry roles.
However, I found the
deck cover functional and
useful for low loads, I took
a deck full of foliage to the
green recycling centre, to
be able to pack it down
and hold it secure with the
fibreglass cover was simply
brilliant. I also used that
area to transport the cricket
gear I use as year 4 coach,
to have it locked secure
when I was away from the
vehicle was also another
bonus.
These tasks were no
match for the Colorado’s
1000kg load capacity, but
they did serve to prove how
adaptable the modern ute
has become, and if you add
in a 3500kg tow rating the
Colorado is right up there
in terms of load carrying
performance.
At the other end sits
a 2.8-litre, four-cylinder
twin-camshaft turbocharged
diesel engine. It is
rated bay Holden at 147kW
HOLDEN COLORADO Z71: Genuine off-roader.
and with 500Nm of torque
available at just 2000rpm it
is a powerhouse, easily on a
par with all of its competitors.
Drive is harnessed
through a six-speed automatic
transmission. A
manual is available, but
it won’t compete with the
auto in terms of sales figures.
• Price – Holden
Colorado Z71,
$66,990
• Dimensions –
Length, 5361mm;
width, 1872mm;
height, 1800mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,2776cc,
147kW, 500Nm, sixspeed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11sec
• Fuel usage –
8.7l/100km
Shifts are smooth and the
gearing is such that it provides
relaxed motoring at
highway speed along with
the ratios needed for slow
speed, off-the-seal travel.
Backing up that theory
is the fitment of a true
low ratio transfer box, it is
manipulated electronically
by a console-mounted dial
switch, at the driver’s command.
It’s fair to say I didn’t
take the Z71 off-road.
When Holden launched
the new series, it included
a traction-challenging offroad
excursion in North
Canterbury. I felt I didn’t
need to replicate that given
all vehicles completed the
undulating and muddy hill
sections without drama.
VERSATILE:
The Z71 has a
high level of
specification.
Instead, I spent most
of my time with the Z71
at highway speed and my
regular commute. In those
conditions it seems more
car-like that ute-like. Sure,
there is a lot of bulk to
manoeuvre in close confine
situations, but it’s no worse
than any other vehicle of its
type. And if you take into
account the number which
are being sold, buyers quite
obviously don’t rate that as
a challenge.
On the open road, the
engine turns over slowly
at 1550rpm at 100km/h
in top gear. At that speed
it returns a 6.2-litre per
100km (46mpg) instantaneous
fuel usage figure,
that accounted for
an 9.4l/100km (30mpg)
average figure during my
time with the ute. That
correlates well with the
8.7l/100km (32mpg) figure
Holden claims for a combined
cycle average.
Road and wind noise are
both kept to a minimum,
and the Colorado, as a
series, imparts a smooth
ride. Of course, it is better
with a bit of weight in the
back, but the reality is the
load bearing suspension is
relatively absorbent and the
cab doesn’t jiggle unnecessarily
on uneven surfaces.
That’s an area where local
research and development
pays dividends. Holden
Australia places a huge
emphasis on developing
vehicles for down under
conditions and it certainly
shows in Colorado. The
ride is acceptable and the
entire in-cabin experience
is comfortable.
I guess, it would need to
be. The Z71 isn’t cheap at
$66,990, but for that money
you do get a lot of kit.
Even though the Z71’s
flashy bits disguise its traditional
ute look, make
no mistake, it is still the
quintessential Colorado
which has carved out a
huge reputation as a tough,
go-anywhere worker.

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.

Foran to meet Storm coach Craig Bellamy – report
AUSTRALIAN MEDIA are
reporting that Kieran Foran
joining Melbourne is back on
the table with the Warriors star
supposedly seeking an audience
with the Storm’s master coach
Craig Bellamy.
The Sydney Morning Herald
has reported that Foran is
contemplating “the prospect of
starting over in Melbourne.”
The Warriors play the Storm
on Tuesday in Melbourne in the
traditional Anzac round clash
between the two clubs.
Latest Christchurch news at www.
.kiwi
The Sydney Morning Herald
claimed Foran would use the
opportunity to meet Bellamy,
who is seeking a replacement for
departing playmaker Cooper
Cronk who is moving to Sydney
to be closer to fiancee Tara
Rushton.
It reported Bellamy has
identified Foran and St George
Illawarra captain Gareth
Widdop as the best players
available on the open market.
It said Foran would tour the
Storm’s facilities and meet with
coach Bellamy and his key
staffers.
“The Kiwi international is
keen for the visit not to disrupt
his game preparations and is
likely to seek the permission
of Warriors officials to do so,”
The Sydney Morning Herald
reported.
“We are yet to rule any
candidate out,” Storm chief
executive Dave Donaghy said.
“We won’t be rushed into
anything, there are a number
of retention and recruitment
Thursday April 20 2017
decisions to be made in the
coming weeks and months.”
Foran is also in Newcastle’s
sights for next year and is
being strongly linked to the
Canterbury Bulldogs.
Reigning premiers Cronulla
may also be in the mix after
losing Jack Bird to the Brisbane
Broncos.
Foran’s preference is to play in
Sydney to be closer to his family
but that doesn’t rule out the
Storm as an option.

CANTY PLAYERS IN NZ
RUGBY UNDER-20S
Four Canterbury players have
been named in the New Zealand
under-20 squad for this month’s
Oceania rugby tournament
in the Gold Coast. Ere Enari,
(Lincoln University), Josh
McKay (Lincoln University),
Tom Christie (Christchurch),
Braydon Ennor (University) and
Harrison Allan (Sydenham)
will travel to Australia for the
tournament, which begins
on April 28. Recent Tasman
acquisition and former
Christchurch Boys’ High School
player Will Jordan has also been
selected. New Zealand will play
Fiji, Samoa and Australia.
BOWLS CHAMPIONS
The Bowls Canterbury
Champion of Champions titles
will be decided at the Woolston
Park club this weekend. Local
club champions in singles, pairs,
triples and fours have played
elimination matches against
other club champions over the
last month. This weekend’s
tournament will see the semifinals
and finals in the four
disciplines across both men’s
and women’s competitions on
Saturday and Sunday.
Sticking it to the Aussies in 8-ball
SIX CANTABRIANS will
take on the world’s best in
Australasia’s richest 8-ball
tournament this weekend.
The Christchurch contingent
of Danny Bowen, Healey
White, Jun Carreon, Steve
Denton, Jordan Maehe and
Kyri Michaelides departed for
Australia yesterday to compete
at the Big Guns tournament in
Bundoora, Melbourne.
They will be joined by eight
other New Zealand players,
more than 100 of Australia’s best
players, and a contingent from
the United Kingdom, including
three-time world champion
Mick Hill.
For most of the Christchurch
players, this will be their first
international tournament
experience.
“It’s going to be great to just
see the next level and where you
can bring your game to,” said
Bowen.
The tournament has more
than 128 players and a total
prize pool of more than
AUS$70,000, with the winner
taking home AUS$12,000.
Christchurch’s top player
Steve Denton has watched

internet for the last two years,
but decided now was the time to
send a Kiwi contingent across
the ditch.
After getting in touch with
the organiser in Sydney, he was
promised eight spots for New
Zealand players in this year’s
tournament. That number has
now been extended to 14.
“I think there are many
players here in New Zealand
that are going on this trip who,
on their day, are capable of
beating anyone,” said Denton.
The tournament is an
individual competition.
However, the New Zealand
contingent is going over with
a team mentality. They will all
play in the same uniform and
will even be sharing the same
accommodation.
Although you can be assured
the team theory will go out the
door if two of the Kiwis draw
each other.
A number of the competitors
will also play in a single day
tournament in Bundoora on
Anzac Day.
New Zealand has also been
invited to send a team to
compete in a tri-series against
England and Australia in
Canberra in November.

As round nine of Super Rugby

their fate.
“It’s disappointing it’s taken
this long but is anyone surprised?
This is the game we’re in, it’s been
like this for a long time,” Fardy
said.

Home
& Property
Dressing your
property up for sale
Your house is on the market and you hope to get a good price. While
market performance will largely influence this, presenting your home
at its best will help.
First impressions count from the
moment potential buyers view a
property from the street to the moment
they walk through the front door.
Weed the garden, cut back unruly
shrubs and prune trees where needed.
Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass
seed over bald patches and fertilise the
lawn.
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess
or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby
items or fitness equipment and if too
many photos on the wall pack these
away so the home looks roomy.
If there is a gap or a room needs
enhancing, look at what you have. A
piece of furniture might be painted up
or an old leather bound book popped
on the coffee table. Shelves will also add
depth to a narrow space while mirrors
may give the illusion of a larger space. In
entryways, add an easy chair, small table,
bookcase or large vase.
Awkward spaces such as coved
ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms might
be converted into storage shelving and
the room given a purpose as an office,
playroom or extra bedroom so viewers
can see how the room might be used.
Stow possessions neatly in containers,
shelving or tidily in cupboards;
highlighting the storage potential within
the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy
for viewing at any time.
Move the pets outside as not all buyers
will be pet lovers while some may suffer
pet allergies putting them off a house if
they see a pet inside.
If parts of the house look tired,

consider renovating by painting walls,
replacing worn carpet, or modernising
the kitchen, bathroom and toilet;
rooms that should sparkle. Replace
tired cabinetry, or the benches and
cupboard/drawer fronts then update old
toilets, showers or kitchen appliances.
Modernising these rooms can lift the
final selling price.
Use consistent and light paint
colours throughout for balance and
seamlessness, making the house appear
more spacious. An effect that is increased
when walls and curtains share the same
or a similar colour.
Consider the personality and purpose
of a room. Bright colours lift living areas
especially if large and open. However,
bedrooms are suited to calmer softer
colours with just a touch of bold. Layer
bedding or use throws for effect along
with cushions or a stuffed toy in a
children’s room.
With curtaining, smaller patterns
or plain fabrics are the rule for smaller
rooms whereas larger patterns make
spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes
are past their best, replace these even if it
is only with neutral cotton curtains. The
effect will be worth it.
Eco-friendly features will also add
value for some buyers though not
universally, however earthy natural
colours and features are popular.
Consider who your target buyers are
likely to be and what will appeal to them.
