Mental<br />

health<br />

unit<br />

problems<br />

escalate<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

CANTERBURY mental health<br />

staff have “formally escalated”<br />

problems in a high-needs mental<br />

health unit, which has reached<br />

crisis-level.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y met recently with the<br />

Ministry of Health to discuss<br />

potential solutions to ongoing<br />

problems with violence and<br />

overcrowding in the Assessment<br />

Treatment and Rehabilitation<br />

Unit.<br />

Between January 2014 and<br />

October 2016 there were about<br />

1000 physical assaults recorded<br />

at the unit based at Hillmorton<br />

Hospital. People receiving<br />

compulsory care or with “severe<br />

behavioural disturbance” are<br />

treated at the unit.<br />

Specialist mental health<br />

services general manager Toni<br />

Gutschlag told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> the<br />

meeting had been held to discuss<br />

challenges at the unit, and to<br />

“seek information about capacity<br />

across the country.”<br />

“How can we better utilise existing<br />

services nationally across<br />

the country to appropriately<br />

match with individual client<br />

needs,” she said.<br />

She said the Ministry of Health<br />

had been asked to help with<br />

management of “the complex<br />

needs of those being supported.”<br />

At a recent meeting with health<br />

board members she said the<br />

situation was becoming volatile,<br />

as full wards made it difficult to<br />

separate violent patients from<br />

one another.<br />

ANYONE WHO has ever<br />

had to sit in hospital next to<br />

a gravely ill child, knows that<br />

leaving their bed side is an<br />

impossibility.<br />

<strong>The</strong> nights are especially<br />

tough and if you do manage to<br />

catch a few winks of sleep, the<br />

chairs are not especially comfortable.<br />

Mum Joanna Triplow found<br />

this out when her son, only<br />

weeks old, spent time in the paediatric<br />

high dependency unit.<br />

Since then she has been on a<br />

three-year crusade to get more<br />

comfortable furniture and has<br />

made progress, read more over<br />

We received a lot of feedback<br />

regarding the RSA’s bid to<br />

away from the crumbling<br />

their absolute outrage on our<br />

Rise Up Facebook page (page<br />

it could be too broken to fix. We<br />

have some positive news from<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />

This week in history saw coal from the Malvern Hills<br />

going on sale in Christchurch at £5 10s a ton on <strong>April</strong> 25,<br />

1854. On the same day in 1864, the Canterbury Horticultural<br />

and Acclimatisation Society was formed. This group<br />

introduced many animals, birds and fish to Canterbury,<br />

and helped to establish the Government Gardens, which<br />

eventually became the Botanic Gardens. In 1977 the<br />

Bridge of Remembrance became a pedestrian precinct. On<br />

<strong>April</strong> 28 and 29, 1983, the Prince and Princess of Wales<br />

visited the city. On <strong>April</strong> 29, 1925, Reverend J Archer<br />

became New Zealand’s first Labour mayor. On the same<br />

day in 1974, David Caygill, 25, became the city’s youngest<br />

ever acting mayor (for five days). On <strong>April</strong> 30, 1971, 6000<br />

protesters (right) marched against the war in Vietnam.<br />

LEAF NUISANCE<br />

Although autumn makes the<br />

city’s trees look pretty, it can be<br />

a nuisance for contractors. <strong>The</strong><br />

leaves require hours of raking<br />

and street cleaning, making<br />

sure they don’t block kerbs<br />

so it is easy to park, and work<br />

to keep sumps and channels<br />

clear – particularly now with<br />

the recent rain. City council<br />

contractors will be out checking<br />

tree-lined streets over the season,<br />

particularly streets that are<br />

normally problematic.<br />

Lyttelton artist<br />

to immortalise<br />

McCaw<br />

• By Noah Graham<br />

MARK WHYTE has restored Gothic<br />

buildings, sculpted war heroes and<br />

created a bronze sled dog – now he will<br />

add an All Black captain to his list.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lyttelton sculptor has been<br />

commissioned by the Kurow Museum<br />

Committee to craft a bronze statue of<br />

one of the greatest All Black captains,<br />

Richie McCaw.<br />

Mr Whyte said the statue will be<br />

about 2m tall and will stand in Kurow<br />

– McCaw’s home town.<br />

He is looking forward to meeting<br />

McCaw in the next few months to<br />

realise his character, which will help<br />

him create a clay casing for the statue,<br />

Mr Whyte said.<br />

Mr Whyte’s most notable work in<br />

Canterbury is the statue of double Victoria<br />

Cross recipient Charles Upham at<br />

Amberley.<br />

He said he is used to sculpting war<br />

heroes but it will be a similar process<br />

crafting the McCaw statue and the<br />

challenge will come from making it as<br />

accurate as possible.<br />

“I’m meticulous. I do my utmost to<br />

get the true character of a person.”<br />

Mr Whyte said he did not<br />

want to create a sculpture that<br />

would reflect anything other<br />

than a real portrayal of McCaw.<br />

•From page 1<br />

Recently, $6600 in modifications<br />

were made in an attempt to<br />

make the unit safer. On a 24-hour<br />

shift there are five staff on evening<br />

shifts, and two overnight.<br />

A Ministry of Health spokeswoman<br />

said those involved in<br />

the meeting would not answer<br />

questions from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> about<br />

options being considered, as<br />

they felt that would be “inappropriate”<br />

before decisions had<br />

been made.<br />

Minister of Health Jonathan<br />

Coleman also did not answer<br />

questions from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>. A<br />

spokeswoman for him said<br />

he would not be commenting<br />

because it was an “operational<br />

matter.”<br />

Labour health spokesman David<br />

Clark said the Government<br />

was trying to put “a band-aid on<br />

a gaping wound.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Government has refused<br />

to adequately fund mental<br />

health in Christchurch in spite<br />

of evidence of demand,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> CDHB was given an extra<br />

$44 million in funding last year,<br />

but told the Ministry of Health<br />

that was not enough to cover the<br />

extra demand for services since<br />

the earthquakes.<br />

Mental health unit problems escalate<br />

mental health services in<br />

Canterbury dropped last<br />

year to $222 per person,<br />

significantly below the $243<br />

national average.<br />

<strong>The</strong> number of Canterbury<br />

children or youth accessing<br />

mental health services has<br />

grown 55 per cent over the past<br />

three years, and this year rose<br />

from 626 in January to 714 in<br />

February.<br />

In Brief<br />

COSTS FOR HAGLEY OVAL<br />

Upgrading Hagley Oval for the<br />

upcoming cricket season will<br />

cost about $1.5 million. <strong>The</strong><br />

city council has already spent<br />

$808,000 on the oval. That<br />

included $465,000 on sight<br />

screens, $30,000 on cable trays,<br />

$125,000 on temporary steps<br />

on the embankment, $40,000<br />

on shade sails, $105,000 for a<br />

protected roadway, $25,000 on<br />

bollards, and $18,000 for storage<br />

of the steps and sight screens.<br />

Work to reshape the embankment<br />

will be done over winter, costing<br />

$600,000. On top of that, the city<br />

council is also proposing to install<br />

camera tower foundations to the<br />

price of $100,000.<br />

BOIL WATER WARNING<br />

People in Governors Bay are told<br />

to keep boiling their water at least<br />

for the rest of the week. <strong>The</strong> city<br />

council has issued a reminder that<br />

water needs to be treated after last<br />

Thursday’s routine testing came<br />

back showing traces of E.Coli.<br />

<strong>The</strong> effected reservoir has<br />

been treated with chlorine and<br />

chlorinated water has also<br />

been flushed through the pipe<br />

network.<br />

CAR PARK FOR RESERVE<br />

Burwood’s Horseshoe Lake<br />

Reserve will get a new 28-space<br />

car park – but it is likely to lose<br />

its footbridge. <strong>The</strong> city council is<br />

asking for feedback on a plan to<br />

replace the original earthquakedamaged<br />

seven space car park<br />

with a larger one. <strong>The</strong>re is room<br />

for more car parks at a later<br />

date. It also wants to remove the<br />

footbridge, and replace it with a<br />

rockery.<br />

ELECTRIC CAR CONVOY<br />

Christchurch has broken the<br />

New Zealand record for having<br />

the most electric vehicles at one<br />

place. As part of the Leading the<br />

Charge Bluff to Cape Reinga road<br />

trip, 103 electric vehicles gathered<br />

at Canterbury University on<br />

Saturday. That passed the previous<br />

record of 62, set by Whangarei on<br />

Easter Saturday.<br />

Health board<br />

boss also has<br />

parking trouble<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

AS HE faces criticism for parking<br />

problems around Christchurch<br />

Hospital, health board chief<br />

executive David Meates has revealed<br />

he faces the same parking woes as<br />

his staff.<br />

He has refused an assigned car<br />

park, choosing instead to pay for<br />

parking in the parking building<br />

used by Canterbury District Health<br />

Board staff. That was because he<br />

didn’t want to create a doublestandard,<br />

he said.<br />

“I choose not to have a dedicated<br />

car park, in spite of being chief executive<br />

of the 10th or 11th largest<br />

organisation in the country,” he said.<br />

He also drives his own car, not a<br />

CDHB vehicle. He was responding<br />

to an accusation he would see the<br />

parking situation differently if he, or<br />

his family, faced the same struggles.<br />

But Mr Meates said one of his<br />

daughters worked for the CDHB last<br />

year, and was not given any special<br />

treatment.<br />

Health board members also do<br />

not have any dedicated car parks,<br />

and sometimes have to park blocks<br />

away when attending meetings at<br />

the CDHB boardroom on Oxford<br />

Quake memorial confusion cleared up<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

SIGNAGE WILL be installed to<br />

point people to the Canterbury<br />

Earthquake National Memorial,<br />

and explain what the pounamu<br />

there represents.<br />

It comes after tourists were<br />

confused as to what the pounamu<br />

meant and where the memorial,<br />

which commemorates<br />

those killed and injured in the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />

was located.<br />

<strong>The</strong> signage will go on<br />

the city council’s various<br />

Wayfinding Towers, and on the<br />

stainless steel stands in Cashel<br />

Mall.<br />

<strong>The</strong> central city’s signage<br />

plinths would also be updated<br />

to include information to help<br />

people find their way to the<br />

memorial.<br />

An Otakaro Ltd spokesman<br />

said a plaque would be installed<br />

near the pounamu greenstone to<br />

explain its meaning as part<br />

of the Avon River Precinct<br />

works.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> text is currently being<br />

finalised,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pounamu greenstone<br />

was gifted by Te Runanga o<br />

Makaawhio.<br />

It is Maori tradition to<br />

Commuter train funding<br />

plan fails to reach destination<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

A Christchurch commuter<br />

train crowdfunding<br />

campaign has failed to<br />

reach its $1.8 million target<br />

– but a private partnership<br />

could still bring the plan<br />

to life.<br />

Organiser Tane Apanui<br />

(right) held meetings<br />

about the plan with several<br />

organisations this month,<br />

including Environment<br />

Canterbury, Ara Institute<br />

of Canterbury and Ngāi<br />

Tahu.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dash Rail plan<br />

would use second-hand<br />

passenger trains from<br />

Auckland, and run them<br />

on the existing tracks<br />

between Selwyn, Waimakariri<br />

and the central city.<br />

People had pledged<br />

$86,455 to the campaign<br />

before it closed on Sunday,<br />

but that money will be<br />

refunded because it failed<br />

to reach the target.<br />

But organiser Tane<br />

Apanui said the campaign<br />

had drawn a lot of interest,<br />

and he was hopeful a business<br />

partnership could be<br />

formed to get the plan off<br />

the ground.<br />

“I don’t see it as a failure<br />

at all, because the public<br />

support and interest in this<br />

has been really strong,” he<br />

said.<br />

Ara sustainability manager<br />

Shaun Bowler said no<br />

commitment to the plan<br />

had been made, but he was<br />

open to further meetings<br />

with Mr Apanui about it.<br />

A survey of about 2400<br />

staff and students at Ara<br />

last year found many<br />

wanted better public transport,<br />

he said.<br />

He said more than 1000<br />

staff and 18,000 students<br />

were based at Ara, and the<br />

location of the proposed<br />

station on Moorhouse Ave<br />

would work well for them.<br />

“In principle, we support<br />

anything that gives people<br />

more choice and provides<br />

more sustainable transport<br />

options,” he said.<br />

ECan chairman David<br />

Bedford said it had considered<br />

the viability of a rail<br />

service in Christchurch<br />

several times.<br />

“In short, the cost has<br />

been too great to support<br />

the projected patronage,”<br />

War memorial meeting<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel is<br />

arranging a meeting to ensure<br />

options to move the Citizens’<br />

War Memorial are developed as<br />

a “matter of priority.”<br />

Christchurch Memorial RSA<br />

wants the cenotaph moved from<br />

Cathedral Square to Cranmer<br />

Square, where<br />

Anzac Day<br />

commemorations<br />

are now<br />

held, in time<br />

for Armistice<br />

Day, 2018.<br />

“I spoke<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

to members<br />

of the RSA<br />

yesterday [Anzac Day] and have<br />

undertaken to arrange a meeting<br />

between them, council staff and<br />

Regenerate Christchurch to ensure<br />

that options for the possible<br />

relocation of the cenotaph are<br />

developed as a matter of priority,”<br />

Ms Dalziel told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />

“Options would need to spell<br />

out the feasibility of the move,<br />

the cost and who would pay.”<br />

Paul O’Connor, who is spearheading<br />

the relocation project,<br />

said he spoke to Ms Dalziel,<br />

which was encouraging.<br />

“I’m picking from what she<br />

said she’s not going to let it lie.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> memorial sits on Anglican<br />

Diocese land, but it is the responsibility<br />

of the city council.<br />

It had been fenced off since the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />

until Tuesday when some exservicemen<br />

were allowed temporary<br />

access to lay a wreath.<br />

Because of its heritage listing,<br />

resource consent would be<br />

needed to move it.<br />

City council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge said until they<br />

could access the cenotaph to do<br />

a full invasive investigation, it<br />

was unknown whether it could<br />

be moved.<br />

Ms Dalziel acknowledged its<br />

current location was significant,<br />

because it asserted the cultural<br />

connection between the cenotaph,<br />

Cathedral and the square.<br />

Mother on a crusade<br />

for hospital chairs<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

WHEN nine-week-old Jack<br />

Triplow was admitted to the<br />

children’s ward with a virus three<br />

years ago, his mum Joanna did<br />

not leave his side.<br />

He spent seven days in hospital<br />

– five of which were in the<br />

paediatric high dependency unit<br />

– and Mrs Triplow, and husband<br />

Brad, realised the furniture was<br />

uncomfortable and difficult to<br />

move.<br />

She slept on a fold-out bed that<br />

only a nurse could set up, while<br />

other parents in the ward slept<br />

on wooden chairs.<br />

“You just don’t leave your<br />

babies when they’re in HDU.”<br />

Now, she and her friend Renee<br />

Jones are fundraising to buy 12<br />

hospital-standard recliners and<br />

pull-out beds to make families’<br />

stays more comfortable.<br />

It took more than three years<br />

to find furniture that was antibacterial,<br />

reliable, able to be fixed<br />

in Christchurch and on wheels<br />

so it could be moved easily.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have found two suitable<br />

models – a recliner, and pull-out<br />

bed – made by local company<br />

Alloyfold.<br />

Two recliner chairs – donated<br />

by Marshland School and a family<br />

– have been installed in PHDU.<br />

<strong>The</strong> chairs cost $1500 plus GST.<br />

Having somewhere<br />

comfortable to sit or sleep was<br />

one less thing parents had to<br />

worry about, she said.<br />

“Honestly, you just can’t put it<br />

into words. <strong>The</strong> emotions that<br />

you go through seeing your baby<br />

in hospital. We were lucky, we<br />

were only in there for a week.”<br />

Conan Fee<br />

Creating a path<br />

Next year, Canterbury University will open a<br />

completely new School of Product Design. Head of<br />

school Conan Fee spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about<br />

robots, inventions and encouraging creativity<br />

PROGRESS: Both an engineer and a musician himself, Conan Fee is working on a new degree<br />

which combines engineering and the arts.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Tell me about the school you’re<br />

creating?<br />

<strong>The</strong> idea is that graduates will<br />

be technically literate and can<br />

engineer something feasible, but<br />

also understand how to design<br />

something beautiful for the end<br />

user, and then how to take what<br />

they have created to market.<br />

It will be quite hands-on in<br />

that respect. Once you have<br />

your product and your end user<br />

in mind you can go right into<br />

prototyping, with access to all<br />

kinds of ‘maker spaces’, where<br />

you can create things and try<br />

them. So these students could<br />

go anywhere, working in the<br />

medical field or in education<br />

or creating sports equipment,<br />

anything.<br />

I remember as a student, engineering<br />

and arts students would<br />

constantly mock each other. It<br />

was like they spoke different<br />

languages. How on earth do you<br />

combine the two disciplines?<br />

We didn’t actually set out to do<br />

that. This degree started with a<br />

blank slate. We said what do we<br />

want to produce in a graduate?<br />

Many years ago, when I was<br />

working at University of Waikato,<br />

we had about 5000 management<br />

students at the time. I<br />

remember thinking they were<br />

probably going to end up just<br />

selling each other cellphones. <strong>The</strong><br />

question is, who is creating the<br />

product for them to manage?<br />

I could also see a whole group<br />

of talented students at high<br />

school who don’t have the depth<br />

in things like maths or chemistry<br />

that they would need to be engineers,<br />

but who have enormous<br />

creativity. Creativity seems to be<br />

something that is encouraged<br />

in pre-school, but seems to be<br />

lost or trained out of us as we get<br />

older. This is helping to create<br />

a pathway for people with that<br />

creativity.<br />

And the other side of it is the<br />

entrepreneurs who have created<br />

successful products and businesses,<br />

but have had to do it by<br />

the seat of their pants.<br />

Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2017</strong> 9<br />

for future entrepreneurs to follow<br />

Can you tell me about your<br />

own background?<br />

I was born and raised in<br />

Christchurch. <strong>The</strong> fork in the<br />

road for my career was when I<br />

was a student trying to decide<br />

whether I wanted to become a<br />

musician or an engineer. I chose<br />

engineering, because it seemed a<br />

more secure career path. I did my<br />

training in chemical engineering<br />

and followed the academic path<br />

to become Dean of Engineering,<br />

but I moulded it to my interests<br />

a lot.<br />

So did you keep playing<br />

music?<br />

Not as much as I’d have liked<br />

to. I probably spent too much<br />

time practising piano when I<br />

should have been practising<br />

engineering, and too much time<br />

engineering when I should have<br />

been playing piano.<br />

Have you any inventions of<br />

your own?<br />

I’ve got a couple of patents,<br />

but they have never made a cent.<br />

Most are quite technical. One<br />

was a protein extraction robot,<br />

which could extract protein from<br />

milk right on a farm, to create a<br />

much higher-value product.<br />

If you had done this course<br />

yourself, do you think those<br />

inventions would have turned<br />

out differently?<br />

Yes, I do think so. Designing<br />

a protein extract machine with<br />

the end user, the farmer, in mind,<br />

you would approach it differently.<br />

Nespresso is a good example.<br />

<strong>The</strong> idea was to make baristaquality<br />

coffee, but make it easily<br />

accessible to people at home. As<br />

a functional product it worked<br />

well, but it took about 30-odd<br />

years before it took off. It didn’t<br />

become popular until they incorporated<br />

the different designs and<br />

styles, and the right marketing.<br />

And George Clooney, too, but<br />

we don’t offer him as part of this<br />

course, unfortunately.<br />

If this kind of course works<br />

so well, why hasn’t it been done<br />

before?<br />

I think things have come<br />

together now for the first time.<br />

If a student can conceive an idea<br />

they now have all the digital tools<br />

on their tablet to create a 3D<br />

design. <strong>The</strong>n they can 3D print<br />

a prototype, without needing all<br />

the equipment they did in the<br />

past, or having to study for years<br />

all those industry skills you once<br />

needed to use the equipment.<br />

TECH: Using<br />

technology,<br />

like virtual<br />

reality, is<br />

one of the<br />

things the<br />

School of<br />

Product<br />

Design<br />

plans<br />

to help<br />

students<br />

explore.<br />

<strong>The</strong> world is changing. Look at<br />

China, the online connectivity<br />

there and the number of small<br />

companies that have developed<br />

because of it. You can order just<br />

about anything and have it arrive<br />

on your doorstep a couple of<br />

weeks later.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other thing is artificial intelligence,<br />

robots. Even what we<br />

consider highly-trained knowledge<br />

workers, I think will lose<br />

their jobs to artificial intelligence.<br />

Think about architecture - you<br />

can now design your own house<br />

using just a computer and some<br />

software. So as that develops,<br />

where does that leave architects<br />

and draftsmen? But a job that<br />

won’t be lost, is human-centred<br />

product design.<br />

And personally, why have you<br />

stayed in Christchurch?<br />

It’s this. I’ve turned down<br />

approaches from other schools<br />

overseas asking me to come and<br />

do more of the same there, because<br />

I have already followed the<br />

classic academic career. But this,<br />

the idea that we can take a whole<br />

group of young people who didn’t<br />

necessarily have a pathway open<br />

for them, and create a host of<br />

graduates who will go out with<br />

these skills and with enthusiasm<br />

to create new things: This fills me<br />

with hope.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a vibe about the city<br />

now, it is open to innovation. I<br />

think that was the silver lining<br />

that came from the earthquakes.<br />

We have built modern buildings,<br />

yes, but also the gap fillers and<br />

the murals, which were creative<br />

and edgy and outside the old<br />

social norms. <strong>The</strong>y’re what has<br />

pulled people forward. People<br />

came from all over the world to<br />

help with rebuilding the city, and<br />

they’re now saying what’s next? I<br />

know that’s the question on my<br />

mind, anyway.<br />

East Frame work begins<br />

I AM pleased to say<br />

there is physical work<br />

happening on all<br />

committed Crown-led<br />

projects in central<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Fletcher Living held<br />

a ground-breaking ceremony at<br />

the site last week, signalling the<br />

start of construction on the East<br />

Frame residential development.<br />

Construction of the first batch<br />

of new central city homes is officially<br />

under way on what’s known<br />

as Superlot 4, on the corner of<br />

Hereford St and Latimer Square.<br />

Crown company Ōtākaro Ltd<br />

and Fletcher Living have been<br />

working together on plans to create<br />

a new central city community.<br />

Alongside construction of the<br />

new dwellings, Ōtākaro – which<br />

is delivering the Crown-led anchor<br />

projects for Christchurch –<br />

is overseeing the construction of<br />

the East Frame’s public realm.<br />

This will be the third-largest<br />

public space in Christchurch and<br />

it’s expected to be completed by<br />

early next year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest challenge has been<br />

getting the mixture of housing<br />

right. Because we are creating a<br />

new community, homes need to<br />

be available in a range of styles<br />

and sizes. We want to attract as<br />

many people as possible into this<br />

development, so we’ve taken the<br />

time to make sure we’ve got this<br />

right.<br />

Gerry Brownlee<br />

By putting more effort into<br />

the planning and design of the<br />

East Frame, Ōtākaro and Fletcher<br />

Living should be more prepared<br />

for the construction stage of the<br />

development.<br />

In spite of the extra time spent<br />

planning, the first 20 terraced<br />

houses in the East Frame residential<br />

development will be completed<br />

in May 2018 – five months<br />

ahead of the original schedule.<br />

<strong>The</strong> East Frame will consist of<br />

about 900 homes, with a combination<br />

of terraced homes and<br />

apartments. <strong>The</strong>se are expected to<br />

house more than 2000 people.<br />

<strong>The</strong> future residents will have<br />

everything at their doorstep. As<br />

well as the first-class amenities,<br />

GROUND-BREAKING:<br />

Fletcher Building residential<br />

and land development chief<br />

executive Steve Evans and<br />

Ōtākaro’s Albert Brantley.<br />

Christchurch’s regenerating city<br />

offers a great range of new cafes,<br />

bars, restaurants and shops.<br />

<strong>The</strong> East Frame homes will<br />

flank the East Frame public<br />

space. This is a 660m linear park<br />

that runs through the five blocks<br />

from Litchfield St to the Margaret<br />

Mahy Family Playground.<br />

Construction of the East<br />

Frame residential development<br />

marks an important milestone in<br />

the rejuvenation of our city. This<br />

fantastic new community will<br />

attract people back into the heart<br />

of Christchurch.<br />

Remembering the<br />

lives cut short by war<br />

THIS Anzac week<br />

we have taken the<br />

opportunity to<br />

reflect on the service<br />

of thousands of men<br />

and women who<br />

have – and still do – dedicate<br />

their lives to their country.<br />

I had the privilege of attending<br />

four ceremonies across Wigram<br />

on Tuesday. Each service was<br />

moving, poignant and different.<br />

This is how it should be – communities<br />

finding their own<br />

unique way to remember their<br />

pasts.<br />

At dawn in Upper Riccarton,<br />

an increasing number of people<br />

each year gather in the War<br />

Memorial Library. This small<br />

library is run by a small but<br />

dedicated team of volunteers.<br />

It was at this service that I witnessed<br />

the birth of a new Anzac<br />

tradition – a cupcake replete<br />

with edible poppy.<br />

At the Hornby War Memorial,<br />

many of the names are familiar<br />

Hornby names. I always find it<br />

especially poignant hearing the<br />

local school children read out<br />

short biographies of the names<br />

on the memorial. This really<br />

brings it home that these were<br />

young men who made their<br />

hopes and their dreams in this<br />

same local area; who walked on<br />

the same ground, but had their<br />

lives cut short by war.<br />

Another unique ceremony we<br />

have is the service for residents<br />

of Rannerdale Veterans Village<br />

and their families. This ceremony<br />

is touching in that so many<br />

of the attendees know the lived<br />

reality of war. <strong>The</strong> highlight this<br />

year was that the Rannerdale<br />

Choir debuted their Rannerdale<br />

Song.<br />

My day finished at the Air<br />

Force Museum of New Zealand,<br />

Wigram, where about a thousand<br />

people gathered. Many of<br />

those who attended once called<br />

the airforce base home, and they<br />

now mix with the more recent<br />

recruits to the neighbourhood<br />

from what we now call Wigram<br />

Skies. <strong>The</strong> museum is a living<br />

memorial to people who<br />

have served in the Royal New<br />

Zealand Air Force. This was<br />

underscored by the unveiling of<br />

an additional plaque bearing the<br />

names of personnel who had lost<br />

their lives serving in the airforce<br />

in the last two years.<br />

PROBLEM: <strong>The</strong> Ministry of Health shut down a plan for a<br />

700-space car park near Christchurch Hospital two years ago.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

reported that the Ministry<br />

of Health shut down a<br />

plan two years ago for a<br />

700-space car park near<br />

Christchurch Hospital<br />

because it decided there<br />

was not enough demand<br />

for it<br />

Alison Paulsen – Is it<br />

possible to select people with a<br />

modicum of intelligence for these<br />

positions? If malls, bars, etc have<br />

to have car parks, a hospital dealing<br />

with hundreds of people on a<br />

24/7 basis should make parking<br />

a priority.<br />

Gary Fox – <strong>The</strong>re’s people<br />

screaming out for car parks at<br />

the hospital. <strong>The</strong>y have done so<br />

for quite a while now. How is<br />

there no demand, really? I still<br />

think the best option is to move<br />

the hospital to a larger site to<br />

allow for more parking. I don’t<br />

think it’s too late to do this and<br />

sell the current site, as is, to a<br />

hotel chain. <strong>The</strong> surrounding<br />

Hagley Park would ensure quite a<br />

nice price could be achieved.<br />

URGENT:<br />

Paul<br />

O’Connor<br />

is leading<br />

a project<br />

to have the<br />

Citizens’ War<br />

Memorial<br />

moved away<br />

from the<br />

Catherdral<br />

to Cranmer<br />

Square (right).<br />

•From page 11<br />

Valerie McCallum – What<br />

a pathetic excuse. Everyone<br />

who lives in Christchurch<br />

knows there is a chronic shortage<br />

of parking around hospitals.<br />

<strong>The</strong> odd thing about this<br />

is that there is never a shortage<br />

at most (not all) of the malls<br />

where taxpayers and visitors go<br />

to spend money and time.<br />

Linda<br />

Hunt – Hard<br />

when you<br />

take someone<br />

who is really<br />

sick into the<br />

accident and<br />

emergency<br />

department<br />

and you are<br />

a holder of<br />

a disability<br />

parking permit<br />

and you<br />

have to drop<br />

them off and<br />

leave them<br />

alone to try<br />

finding a car<br />

park in the<br />

middle of the<br />

night. Every<br />

disability car<br />

park has a<br />

car in it with no card. Took me<br />

nearly one hour to get back to<br />

accident and emergency after<br />

finding a park in the middle of<br />

nowhere. I was so scared. <strong>The</strong>n<br />

I had to do it all again when I<br />

left on my own to walk back<br />

to the car. Nurses have been<br />

attacked. Does someone have<br />

to die before they engage their<br />

tiny brains?<br />

Tina Bailey – Where was<br />

the site and is it still available?<br />

Surely the Ministry of Health<br />

can admit it made an error<br />

and continue with the plan.<br />

Parking around the hospital for<br />

patients, visitors and staff is at<br />

crisis point and is only getting<br />

worse. Another example of<br />

Christchurch getting screwed<br />

over by the Government.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christchurch RSA<br />

said that if money can be<br />

found to put a “piece of<br />

art in the river to collect<br />

rubbish,” why can’t it<br />

be found to shift the<br />

deteriorating Citizens’ War<br />

Memorial away from the<br />

crumbling Christ Church<br />

Cathedral?<br />

Helen Ollis – I have lived<br />

in Canterbury all my life. My<br />

grandad fought for our country<br />

in World War 1. My thoughts<br />

are with soldiers present and<br />

past, how would they feel seeing<br />

the memorial lingering<br />

amongst the derelict eyesore?<br />

Stephen Graham – Leave<br />

it where it is. It’s damaged and<br />

shifting it would be an expensive<br />

engineering nightmare.<br />

It will be repaired<br />

and in<br />

its full glory<br />

again. Just<br />

need patience.<br />

Carolyn<br />

Fifield – I<br />

don’t believe<br />

the city council<br />

can do<br />

anything as it<br />

is on church<br />

land. My<br />

understanding<br />

is that the<br />

church used<br />

the insurance<br />

money<br />

elsewhere as<br />

it wanted to<br />

replace the<br />

Cathedral<br />

with a much<br />

cheaper glass option, and now<br />

do not have the funds, in spite<br />

of funding and contributions<br />

from central and local government,<br />

plus millions of dollars<br />

raised overseas.<br />

Joy Averis – <strong>The</strong> city<br />

council needs to get its priorities<br />

right. Totally agree with<br />

the RSA, the magnificent (well<br />

it was magnificent) memorial<br />

needs to be removed from the<br />

sight and Cranmer Square is a<br />

good place to have it sited. May<br />

have to get a petition set up or<br />

even crowd funding. Come on<br />

city council, respect those men<br />

who died to keep us free.<br />

Richard Long – <strong>The</strong> whole<br />

situation just shows how poorly<br />

the rebuild has been handled<br />

and its effects on residents.<br />

Such a shame to see our city<br />

fall into ruins with such mismanagement<br />

and such narrowminded<br />

thinking. I feel we have<br />

missed the opportunity to rise<br />

up as a world class city. <strong>The</strong> city<br />

council, Cera, Government,<br />

Anglican Church and all of<br />

us should be ashamed that we<br />

have allowed this to happen.<br />

A brand new Summerset Retirement Village<br />

ADVICE with<br />

$80<br />

PRIZE<br />

PACK!<br />

Nothing makes<br />

the neighbours green<br />

with envy, or the<br />

kids happier than<br />

a well-maintained,<br />

lush, green lawn.<br />

Autumn is the best<br />

time to sow a new lawn or tackle any lawn<br />

problems. Over sow any bare or brown patches<br />

in the lawn with Daltons Premium 4-in-1 Lawn Patching Gold, which<br />

has everything in one bag and is super easy to use. Feed lawns with<br />

Daltons Premium Lawn Fertiliser until late <strong>April</strong>.<br />

Q<br />

A<br />

I have used a product to spray the weeds and now have<br />

some sparse patches.<br />

My question is; how do I thicken my lawn and when do I do it?<br />

Today’s winning<br />

question came from<br />

Kathleen Petersen.<br />

Congratulations!<br />

While it is rather late for sowing a lawn, soil temperatures do cool slower than air temperatures, so<br />

you can still sow some grass seed on the patches in your lawn - but do this immediately!<br />

Spread out Daltons Premium Lawn Mix about 40-50mm deep. Level and compact with a rake, then<br />

broadcast the seed evenly over the area. Alternatively, if the areas are small, you can use Daltons Premium<br />

4-in-1 Lawn Patching Gold, which has everything in one bag and is very easy to use.<br />

Water lightly to initiate germination, which should occur between seven and ten days. If the weather suddenly<br />

becomes very cold or there is exceptionally heavy rainfall, the amount of seed germinating will be somewhat<br />

reduced so you will need to repeat the process in early spring of this year.<br />

In general, to obtain the best results when establishing a lawn, grass seed should be sown in early<br />

autumn or early spring. For more advice and varieties to grow, read the How to Grow Lawns Guide at<br />

research observatory.<br />

China Southern Airlines announced<br />

it would become Mt John Observatory’s<br />

official sponsorship partner at a<br />

ceremony on Friday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> university runs the facility, which<br />

sits in a 4300 sq km area called the<br />

Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark<br />

Sky, near Tekapo.<br />

Its research includes the search for<br />

extra-solar planets, tracking of nearearth<br />

objects and the study of pulsating,<br />

variable and exploding stars.<br />

Tourism company Earth & Sky runs<br />

public tours through the facility.<br />

Canterbury University Pro Vice<br />

Chancellor of Science Wendy Lawson<br />

said the partnership was “fabulous.”<br />

She said the new partnership was<br />

likely to boost the number of students<br />

wanting to study astronomy.<br />

Following the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake there had been less staff<br />

at Mt John, but more could be done<br />

remotely through the use of new<br />

technology.<br />

Although financial details of the<br />

partnership have been kept under wraps,<br />

Professor Lawson said it would include<br />

the public having access to the research<br />

done there.<br />

“It’s great to have the support.”<br />

Ten per cent of the funding would go<br />

to the Mackenzie District Council for<br />

tourism infrastructure in Tekapo.<br />

<strong>The</strong> catalyst for the partnership<br />

came about when China Southern<br />

Airlines began flying into Christchurch<br />

International Airport in December, 2015<br />

– the only Chinese airline to fly into the<br />

South Island.<br />

Airport chief executive Malcolm Johns<br />

said from there, the airline asked how<br />

it could contribute further to the South<br />

Island.<br />

He said Tekapo was a destination for<br />

Chinese visitors, so the partnership<br />

made sense.<br />

China Southern Airlines Australasian<br />

managing director Louis Lu said<br />

Chinese students came to study at the<br />

university, and a lot of people came over<br />

to visit.<br />

“China Southern Airlines and Mt<br />

John Observatory are sharing the same<br />

sky, and we are also looking forward to<br />

the same dream to make it come true,<br />

not only for passengers, but also for<br />

students.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> observatory, which opened in<br />

1965, houses a 1.8m telescope – the<br />

country’s largest.<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre/Arts<br />

Performer treks into unknown<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

KATHLEEN BURNS has always<br />

been captivated by the dangers<br />

of travelling into space.<br />

A <strong>Star</strong> Wars, <strong>Star</strong> Trek and<br />

Battlestar Galactica enthusiast,<br />

the 31-year-old had always loved<br />

the “high stakes” and drama of<br />

shows set in the galaxy.<br />

After being heavily involved<br />

as a performer with <strong>The</strong> Court<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre for more than 13 years,<br />

Burns has taken her career in a<br />

new direction crafting her first<br />

original play.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parklands resident has<br />

transformed one of the world’s<br />

most well-known fairytales into<br />

an adventurous sci-fi about a<br />

slave space mechanic named<br />

Cinderella.<br />

Cinderella In Space is a new<br />

adaptation to the 1950 Disney<br />

animated film, telling the story<br />

of a young heroine forced by an<br />

evil “Captain Step-Mummy”<br />

to clean a space station even<br />

though she would rather build<br />

robots.<br />

Burns described the original<br />

character of Cinderella as a “bit<br />

of a victim” who gets helped out<br />

NEW DIRECTION: Kathleen Burns on set of her first original show at <strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre. ​<br />

of her situation so she can marry<br />

rich.<br />

“I just think we can do better<br />

than this . . . we can make her<br />

a woman who does things<br />

SHOW BROUGHT TO LIFE: Monique Clementson as<br />

Cinderella and Ralph McCubbin Howell as Captain<br />

Step-Mummy in Kathleen Burns’ first original show Cinderella<br />

in Space.<br />

and affects change to her<br />

environment and makes her a<br />

role model worthy of aspiring<br />

to,” she said.<br />

Since she was a child, one of<br />

Burns’ favourite past-times was<br />

“writing dialogue.”<br />

“What I didn’t know about<br />

myself was I wanted to write<br />

plays . . . I loved using those<br />

speech marks,” she said.<br />

For the past decade her<br />

writing dreams were put on hold<br />

to pursue performing.<br />

She ditched her double<br />

degree in psychology and<br />

gender studies at Canterbury<br />

University, going onto to study<br />

at the National Academy of<br />

Singing and Dramatic Art.<br />

“I got two-and-a-half years<br />

into it and I was like, I don’t<br />

want to spend one more second<br />

going down a path I don’t<br />

want to go down, and literally<br />

overnight I was like, I am<br />

throwing all of this in,” she<br />

said.<br />

Before then, she first cut her<br />

teeth entertaining youths on<br />

a Friday night with <strong>The</strong> Court<br />

Jesters.<br />

“Definitely, you have to love<br />

it. For starters, nobody in this<br />

industry is paid enough to<br />

warrant doing it without the love<br />

and drive for it,” she said.<br />

So far, the highlight of her<br />

performing career was working<br />

with well-known actor George<br />

Henare.<br />

“His approach to the work is<br />

so uncomplicated and it reminds<br />

me acting should be really<br />

simple,” she said.<br />

Her first gig as a writer had<br />

her frightened but she said she<br />

needed to try something new.<br />

“I always knew writing is<br />

hard. I have so much respect<br />

for writers . . . I am still outside<br />

thinking it is a magical allusive<br />

thing other people do,” she<br />

said.<br />

High profile<br />

faces for<br />

Court<br />

production<br />

BEST KNOWN for his role<br />

in Australian television soap<br />

opera Neighbours, actor Stephen<br />

Lovatt will take the stage in<br />

<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre’s newest<br />

production Uncle Vanya.<br />

With a career spanning 30<br />

years, Lovatt has performed on<br />

stage, television and in film.<br />

He will now play the leading<br />

role Vanya in a show about family,<br />

love and<br />

heartbreak.<br />

As part<br />

of the story,<br />

Vanya and his<br />

niece Sonya<br />

have laboured<br />

for years on<br />

Stephen Lovatt<br />

Shane Bosher<br />

their family’s<br />

country estate<br />

in relative harmony.<br />

But when<br />

Sonya’s father<br />

returns from<br />

the big city with<br />

a glamorous<br />

new bride, unfulfilled<br />

desires<br />

and fierce family<br />

loyalties collide to destroy the<br />

status quo.<br />

<strong>The</strong> show is by Russian<br />

playwright Anton Chekhov<br />

(1860–1904), who is known for<br />

his fictional short stories.<br />

Lovatt is not the only high profile<br />

performer involved with the<br />

show, with four-times <strong>The</strong> New<br />

Zealand Listener magazine’s “director<br />

of the year” Shane Bosher<br />

set to direct.<br />

Bosher said he had Uncle Vanya<br />

at the top of his “must direct”<br />

bucket list. He said audiences will<br />

be able to identify themselves and<br />

the people they interact within<br />

the show.<br />

•Uncle Vanya runs from<br />

May 13 - June 3. To book<br />

5 QUESTIONS WITH...DAVID SEYMOUR - ACT leader<br />

David is an economic conservative and a<br />

social liberal. He’s a Member of Parliament<br />

for Epsom, ACT Party Leader, and<br />

Parliamentary Undersecretary to the<br />

Ministers of Education and Regulatory<br />

Reform. He’s also a mover and shaker who<br />

got the bars to stay open for the World Cup<br />

and got government to make a couple of<br />

changes to paid parental leave.<br />

Recognized as being thoughtful, mature,<br />

and articulate, opponents would be wise not<br />

to underestimate this Undersecretary. We<br />

asked him five quick questions;<br />

You’re a bit of a builder (cars, kayaks<br />

etc). Do you have any other hidden<br />

talents?<br />

Yes, some of them very well hidden, such as<br />

my guitar playing, which I still hope will take<br />

off after 24 years. I like to cook, I make<br />

pizzas from scratch, base and all.<br />

I read that you were invited and<br />

attended a flat party in Wellington.<br />

Have you received any other<br />

interesting invitations since? Did the<br />

party-goers all know who you were?<br />

I get a few flat party invites. A while ago<br />

I was sitting at home and some students<br />

across the road invited me to their party<br />

by Facebook. <strong>The</strong>y are good, because 18-24<br />

year old voter turnout is so low, politicians<br />

need to think about how they connect with<br />

younger<br />

demographics because what we’re doing<br />

clearly isn’t working. Plus they’re fun. Who<br />

doesn’t miss the student/yo-pro years of<br />

their life?<br />

Can you tell us why you support the<br />

voluntary euthanasia bill?<br />

Three reasons. It is democratically right<br />

when 75 per cent of New Zealanders want<br />

change. It is legally right when the High Court<br />

says only Parliament can make the change.<br />

Lastly and most importantly it is morally<br />

right. We allow people to refuse treatment,<br />

refuse food and water, or to be given a little<br />

too much morphine by their doctor under<br />

the ‘double effect’ doctrine. It is not illegal to<br />

commit amateur, violent, lonely suicide, either.<br />

Sadly some New Zealanders take those<br />

options, and I think we should have another<br />

option in <strong>2017</strong>; to choose for ourselves<br />

though a safeguarded process.<br />

When you’re not working, what does<br />

David Seymour get up to in his spare<br />

time?<br />

My homemade sports car always needs TLC,<br />

I would work on it almost permanently given<br />

the chance. I try to make sure I catch up<br />

with my close friends, my school friends at<br />

least weekly. It’s important to remember<br />

who you are.<br />

If you were asked to change profession<br />

tomorrow what would you chose to be?<br />

I’d go back to being an electrical engineer.<br />

cruising CUBA<br />

Montercristo cigars, Salsa dancing, beautiful beaches and don’t forget the rum!<br />

Cuba is a magical country which is truly<br />

stuck in a time warp.<br />

From the moment you set foot in Cuba,<br />

life seems brighter and more energetic. <strong>The</strong><br />

music and dancing is everywhere – in the<br />

plazas, in the courtyards, in the bars, in the<br />

clubs, and on the street corners.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are a few international standard<br />

hotels outside the beach resort areas.<br />

Varadero, Cuba’s most popular beach resort<br />

town is dotted with the majority of these<br />

all-inclusive hotels. If relaxing on the beach<br />

or free drinks by the pool are high on your<br />

holiday priority list, you won’t be disappointed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sun-drenched coastline, warm weather<br />

and turquoise waters are pinch yourself<br />

amazing.<br />

Those wanting a more authentic Cuban<br />

experience will find the treasure trove of<br />

fascinating architecture of old Habana the best<br />

base to explore from. <strong>The</strong> old squares are like<br />

walking back in time to the colonial era. Here<br />

you’ll find plenty of casa particulars, which are<br />

state approved private homes with licenses to<br />

rent rooms to tourists. Staying at a casa<br />

particular, is a good way to get to know<br />

Cubans and every day life in Havana. It’s the<br />

people of Cuba that really makes a visit to the<br />

island unique. Since Cuba hasn’t been crushed<br />

with an overwhelming influx of tourism - yet,<br />

having visitors is still special for them.<br />

Don’t expect to be wowed by Cuba’s gastronomic<br />

delights. <strong>The</strong> food is relatively basic.<br />

Pork is the main protein and the most popular<br />

way you’ll see it served is in simple sandwich<br />

form. And black beans are served with everything.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re like the gravy of Cuban food.<br />

To find the most flavoursome food, paladares,<br />

which are family owned and operated is the<br />

best option. You’ll be able to judge the quality<br />

by the number of locals lining up outside.<br />

Cuba has no multinational franchises such<br />

as McDonalds, KFC or <strong>Star</strong>bucks. You can’t<br />

buy Coca Cola and, for the great majority of<br />

travellers, this is an essential part of its charm.<br />

What the food may lack in pizzaz, the<br />

alcohol definitely makes up for. Mojitos, cuba<br />

libres, cubanitos and are plentiful. You will be<br />

wanting to stuff your suitcase with Cuban<br />

rum.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s also no shortage of colourful 1950’s<br />

American cars cruising the streets. <strong>The</strong>se cars<br />

have become a part of Cuba’s identity that<br />

visitors want to see and experience.<br />

10% Off for SUPERGOLD card holders<br />

Conditions may apply<br />

Regardless of political changes, we can assume<br />

the cars will remain part of Cuba’s automotive<br />

workforce.<br />

From Havana in the north to Santiago in the<br />

south is a 15 hour bus ride, so if you only have<br />

a week you’ll want to spend the majority of<br />

time in Havana. From Havana you can do day<br />

trips. Matanzas (2 hrs to west) has caves and is<br />

not far from the resorts of Varadero. Vinales<br />

(3 hrs on the bus) to the west of Havana,<br />

has beautiful countryside and is the heart of<br />

Cuba’s cigar country. A visit to a cigar factory<br />

is a must. Cigars from different batches are<br />

actually blind tested by a team of ‘professional<br />

smokers’, whose sole job it is to assess<br />

qualities such as aroma, how well it burns, and<br />

how easily it draws.<br />

Now is the best time to get to Cuba.<br />

Airplanes full of tourists are landing for the<br />

first time in over 50 years, opening up a<br />

floodgate of incoming dollars. And it’s not<br />

Amricans, it’s everyone else trying to get there<br />

before them. While there are direct flights<br />

from the US, Americans still cant travel to<br />

Cuba independently, only on organised trips.<br />

But this will likely soon change and so too will<br />

Cuba.<br />

loop around lyttElton<br />

for a post-walk caffiene injection head to one of Lyttletons’ creative coffee haunts.<br />

Joel Hart - New Brighton. January <strong>2017</strong><br />

Just twenty minutes from the centre of<br />

town, Lyttelton was awarded the Category of<br />

Historic Area Status, as one of the most<br />

special places to meander outside the city.<br />

Lyttelton has rebuilt it’s quirky, coffee<br />

culture vibe and post Urumaru or<br />

Whakaraupo walk, you’ll find a eclectic mix<br />

of coffee shops to sit and relax in to recharge<br />

your batteries.<br />

WALK:<br />

Urumaru Loop - 3.5 hour circular<br />

For the nimble-footed, who like scrambling<br />

up hills and narrow cliff paths, the Urumaru<br />

track will reward you with amazing views over<br />

Lyttelton Harbour, Sumner and Christchurch.<br />

You’ll need to pick a fine day for this walk as it<br />

includes a couple of steeper climbs and small<br />

goat tracks. Much of the track is unformed<br />

with simple directional markers.<br />

Whakaraupo Loop - 2 hour circular<br />

Another walk with great views, the<br />

Whakaraupo Reserve on the Stan Helms<br />

Track and back down the historic Bridle Path,<br />

is a well formed walk.<br />

COFFEE STOP:<br />

Lyttelton Coffee Co - 29 London St<br />

<strong>The</strong> 1921 heritage-noted building has one of<br />

the best views in town. Gaining press<br />

attention for cutting out trim milk from their<br />

coffees (they save 15,000 milk cartons a year<br />

from landfill, through using stainless steel milk<br />

canisters!) Here you’ll find local art,<br />

wholesome food and fantastic smells of<br />

roasted coffee.<br />

Spooky Boogie - 54 London St<br />

A relatively new entrant on to London Street,<br />

Spooky Boogie is the place to go if you want<br />

to purchase some new vinyl, art or quirky<br />

giftware. With a local reputation for great<br />

coffee, it’s a buzzing little cafe where you can<br />

easily while away the hours people watching<br />

or reading the books and papers.<br />

Shroom Room Cafe - 48 London St<br />

You’ll find a great coffee and a varied<br />

vegetarian menu at this eclectic cafe. On a<br />

nice day the outdoor seating area, complete<br />

with mismatched chairs is a relaxing spot to<br />

enjoy one of the delicious milkshakes on<br />

offer.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lonely Planet has named Christchurch as one of 39 cities around the world<br />

with a rich street art scene.<br />

Christchurch is spoilt for choice, with<br />

amazing street art splashed across the central<br />

city. Artists have transformed dilapidated<br />

buildings and alleyways, turning them into<br />

places of gritty beauty. What started after<br />

the 2011 earthquakes as basic tags, quickly<br />

grew more complex, and soon enough major<br />

murals were starting to take up full<br />

building walls. Well-respected graffiti artists<br />

from outside Christchurch have added their<br />

contributions and the city is now abundant<br />

with colourful and vibrant works of art which<br />

can be found on almost every corner.<br />

Sometimes the line between graffiti art and<br />

vandalism can be a hazy one. But the is no<br />

question that the art has breathed a new and<br />

colourful breath of live in to the damaged city.<br />

Too make sure you haven’t missed some of<br />

the hidden gems, It’s well worth having a look<br />

on http://christchurchstreetart.co.nz for a<br />

map of all of the murals around the city.<br />

the dreaded turKey neck<br />

Get rid of the ‘gobble gobble’ with the correct treatments!<br />

If you thought your hands show your age,<br />

take a look at your neck.<br />

That old ‘gobble gobble’ excess of skin is<br />

one of the hardest to fix, and it’s an area we<br />

exercise the least and forget about with our<br />

daily skincare routine.<br />

Turkey neck is is the result of skin loosing<br />

its elasticity and fat with advancing age or<br />

through sudden weight gain or lose. While<br />

there are some specially designed creams and<br />

serums to target the neck area, lotions and<br />

potions can only do so much. But fear not,<br />

there is a step before you go to the extreme<br />

lengths of cosmetic surgery. Advanced<br />

skin treatments can help tighten the skin in<br />

that area. Rosa Guthrie from <strong>The</strong> Cosmetic<br />

Clinic says they have a fractional RF machine<br />

which is a combination of needling and radio<br />

frequency. “This is a treatment that involves<br />

puncturing the epidermis (surface<br />

layer of the skin) with hundreds of tiny<br />

needles to cause ‘controlled trauma’ and<br />

induce the collagen response. A numbing<br />

cream is applied first, to reduce the<br />

discomfort. <strong>The</strong> Radio Frequency (RF) heats<br />

the tissue and stimulates collagen production.<br />

This leads to the reduction of fine lines, large<br />

pores and loose skin. Combining the two<br />

techniques creates a much deeper and more<br />

beneficial Collagen response than just dermal<br />

needling alone. Less treatments are required<br />

and results are generally much better. Great<br />

for a neck that is starting to sag!”<br />

It’s also important not to leave out the neck<br />

from your facial beauty regime, after all it is an<br />

extension of your face.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> same care and attention needs to<br />

be spread down the neck, and even further<br />

down to the décolletage. Serums, sunscreen<br />

and retinol all need to be spread across the<br />

the world famous New<br />

Filename: Zealand FG9681 Army Band is going<br />

to perform at “<strong>The</strong> Piano”, 156<br />

Armagh Street, Christchurch.<br />

This is the first time that the<br />

band has performed a concert<br />

in Christchurch since the<br />

successful 50th celebration<br />

concert in 2014. New Zealand<br />

Army Band Bandmaster<br />

Warrant Officer Class Two<br />

Phillip Johnston is thrilled to<br />

be able to showcase the band’s<br />

talents locally in Christchurch’s<br />

latest performing arts venue<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Piano”.<br />

Warrant Officer<br />

Johnston said<br />

“the venue is<br />

ideally suited for<br />

a traditional brass<br />

band concert and<br />

it will be a great<br />

afternoon of music<br />

making”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NZArmy Band’s program<br />

will be a trip down memory<br />

lane as the programme features<br />

classic brass band repertoire<br />

such as Eric Ball’s Resurgam<br />

and Kingdom Triumphant.<br />

<strong>The</strong> band has six current New<br />

Zealand solo champions and<br />

will feature three of them<br />

whole area. Often you see older woman with<br />

beautiful youthful skin on their face, but look<br />

further down to their neck, décolletage and<br />

hands, this shows the real age. This is due to<br />

those areas being forgotten and neglected.<br />

Many of our clients ‘add on’ neck, décolletage<br />

and hands to our skin microdermabrasion and<br />

laser treatments.”<br />

Short of wearing a roll-neck all year round,<br />

there is also another non-surgical procedure<br />

that you should be booking in for. This<br />

treatment the ‘Nefertiti lift’.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> name refers to the Egyptian princess<br />

Nefertiti who was renowned for her long<br />

elegant neck. <strong>The</strong> actual procedure itself,<br />

consists of lots of little anti wrinkle<br />

injections to the area, which relaxes the<br />

platysmal muscles which are major depress<br />

ors of the lower face. <strong>The</strong> results are a more<br />

defined jawline and more youthful appearance.<br />

Like the hands and under eye area, the neck<br />

tends to give away our age. We use a series<br />

of anti wrinkle injections into the platysmal<br />

bands (neck lines) and the lines on the lower<br />

part of the face. Lots of little injection sites<br />

which are superficial so relatively painless.<br />

When the anti wrinkle kicks in, the sites that<br />

were injected, relax. Unlike traditional<br />

treatments to the frown, forehead or crows,<br />

which focus on reducing wrinkles, this<br />

treatments focuses on changing facial<br />

contouring with the use of an anti wrinkle<br />

(neurmodulator).”<br />

<strong>The</strong> neck is not the easiest of areas to treat,<br />

but by using the right products and<br />

treatments, you’ll be better equipped to turn<br />

your neck from turkey back to spring chick.<br />

A Trip Down Memory Lane with<br />

the New Zealand Army Band<br />

concert. Private<br />

will perform<br />

Oasis, Lance<br />

Corporal<br />

Joe Thomas<br />

will perform<br />

Shenandoah<br />

and Sergeant<br />

Kevin Hickman<br />

As is appropriate with the<br />

concert being so close to<br />

ANZAC day, the band will also<br />

feature Fernleaf Headstones<br />

and Passchendaele.<br />

Both of these pieces<br />

were written for<br />

the band by past<br />

member, world<br />

renowned composer<br />

Dwayne Bloomfield.<br />

Fernleaf Headstones<br />

was written for<br />

the repatriation of<br />

the Unknown Warrior and<br />

Passchendaele depicts the<br />

tragic events of the Third Battle<br />

of Ypres, which to this day is<br />

still the most deadly day in New<br />

Zealand’s wartime history. <strong>The</strong><br />

programme is rounded off with<br />

a couple of classic hymns and<br />

6 LAW/ MIND<br />

ENDURING POWERS<br />

OF ATTORNEY<br />

WORDS FLEUR MCDONALD<br />

As many of you will be aware in 1988, the<br />

Protection of Personal and Property Rights<br />

Act enabled you to appoint a person you trust<br />

to manage your affairs under<br />

Enduring Powers of Attorney (Enduring<br />

Power(s)). What you may not be aware of is<br />

that on 16 March <strong>2017</strong> changes were made to<br />

the Act and its Regulations, which effect how<br />

we make Enduring Powers and how these<br />

documents operate.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Forms<br />

<strong>The</strong> most obvious change is how the new<br />

Enduring Powers look. From the 16 March<br />

<strong>2017</strong> Enduring Powers need to be made<br />

using a prescribed form. <strong>The</strong> new forms<br />

contain additional information in the hopes<br />

that Donors (the person giving the power)<br />

will have a better understanding of what<br />

Enduring Powers do and the implications<br />

of the documents for the Donor and their<br />

Attorney(s).<br />

• Witnessing Requirements on<br />

Mutual Enduring Powers<br />

Since changes made to Enduring Powers in<br />

September 2008, there has been<br />

considerable confusion and discussion over<br />

the witnessing of mutual Enduring Powers<br />

where a husband and wife are appointing<br />

each other. Changes to the Act clarify this<br />

position. Now where there is no more<br />

than a negligible risk of a conflict of interest,<br />

the same person can witness both Donors<br />

execution of the documents.<br />

Best practice and difficulties in quantifying<br />

what might constitute no more than a<br />

negligible risk may see your legal advisor<br />

choosing to require that separate people<br />

continue to witness each Donor’s signature.<br />

Enduring Powers was required to consult with<br />

the Donor and any other person the Donor<br />

had specified in their Enduring Powers. <strong>The</strong><br />

obligation to consult has now been extended<br />

to require an Attorney to consult with any<br />

other Attorney under the particular<br />

Enduring Power, along with any Attorney<br />

appointed under another Enduring Power.<br />

• Revoking the appointment of an Attorney<br />

<strong>The</strong> new forms allow a Donor to revoke an<br />

Attorneys appointment without revoking<br />

the entire Enduring Power so long as there<br />

is at least one other Attorney remaining.<br />

• Revocation of the Enduring Powers<br />

Enduring Powers can be revoked at any<br />

time by a Donor giving notice to the<br />

Attorney, whilst that Donor has capacity. If<br />

the new Enduring Powers state that they<br />

revoke earlier Enduring Powers,<br />

revocation of the earlier Enduring Powers<br />

may be effected by the Donor or someone<br />

other than the Donor. This includes notice<br />

being given at a later time in the event that<br />

the Donor becomes mentally incapable.<br />

Please note that if you have started new<br />

Enduring Powers prior to 16 March <strong>2017</strong>, but<br />

you were unable to complete the documents,<br />

they will no longer be valid and must be<br />

redrafted in the new forms. If you and your<br />

Attorney(s) executed your Enduring Powers<br />

prior to 16 March <strong>2017</strong>, the documents will<br />

continue to be valid.<br />

Enduring Powers of Attorney are very<br />

important estate planning tools and we<br />

recommend that everyone should have these<br />

valuable documents in place, regardless of age<br />

or circumstances.<br />

When making a decision regarding your<br />

Enduring Powers it is critical you seek legal<br />

advice from a team who understand how your<br />

decisions now may impact on you and your<br />

legal requirements in later years. Please call<br />

Fleur McDonald on 03 352 2293 to arrange<br />

an appointment to discuss your situation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Pure Food Co concept was born as a<br />

result of a terrible circumstance. Cancer of<br />

the jaw made it impossible for one of the<br />

founder’s loved ones to eat normal food. He<br />

required a radically modified diet that was<br />

safe to swallow which robbed him of the<br />

enjoyment and independence of eating. <strong>The</strong><br />

team’s research revealed that for far too many<br />

people in a similar predicament, the eating<br />

experience consisted of consuming<br />

unappealing purées, baby food or worse still<br />

not consuming food at all. Sam and co<br />

founders Maia and George decided to do<br />

something about the situation and <strong>The</strong> Pure<br />

Food Co turned into a genuine market<br />

opportunity.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hugely successful and expanding brand,<br />

which now serves close to 25,000 meals each<br />

month is in major hospitals, aged care<br />

facilities and sold direct to peoples homes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> meals are served as individual<br />

components (meat, vegetables and carbs)<br />

which all look and taste like the regular meal,<br />

rather than combined into a single pureed<br />

dish.<br />

Category winners at the NZ Food Awards,<br />

they started with a philosophy that if they<br />

wouldn’t serve it to their grandparents or eat<br />

it themselves, they would not provide it to<br />

their customers.<br />

“In developing the wide range of foods, we<br />

looked to classics such as roast lamb, and<br />

introduced modern favourites such as<br />

THE pure food co<br />

8% of all people have some form of eating disability<br />

requiring texture modified foods.<br />

barbeque chicken. It’s a collaborative process<br />

with chefs, dietitians, textural experts (Speech<br />

Language <strong>The</strong>rapists) and food techs to<br />

developing the meals. Whilst they must have<br />

excellent nutrition, the right texture and<br />

mouthfeel, ultimately if the foods don’t look,<br />

smell and taste excellent, we have failed!” <strong>The</strong><br />

products key focus is addressing eating<br />

disabilities and malnutrition.<br />

“Eight percent of all peoplbe have some<br />

form of eating disability requiring texture<br />

modified foods - this percentage is greatly<br />

increased in aged care where conditions such<br />

as neck and throat problems, cancer<br />

treatment and strokes all require a special<br />

textured diet. <strong>The</strong> conventional puree food<br />

or protein drink options are extremely limited<br />

and do not encourage sustainable diets.”<br />

Malnutrition is a major problem across all<br />

residents in the aged care sector. “Studies<br />

indicate that as many as 47% of people<br />

entering aged care are already malnourished<br />

and the majority of other residents have some<br />

risk indicators. Our food is the best of real<br />

foods and natural fortification to provide<br />

clinical benefits. <strong>The</strong>re is increasing evidence<br />

from international studies that malnutrition<br />

has a massive impact on many other factors<br />

related to aged care i.e. weight management,<br />

falls and incidents, ward care days, cognitive<br />

condition, nursing support, well being and<br />

quality of life and this has a major impact of<br />

the brand, Pure Food Co supporter and<br />

who has experience in ageriatric nutrition,<br />

foodservice and malnutrition has recently<br />

partnered with the company.<br />

“This is a natural next step for us to involve<br />

Kaye more closely in consulting on food<br />

nutrition, reviewing our results from data with<br />

users of the food, helping us engage the wider<br />

community of clinical professionals regarding<br />

8 MOTORING<br />

JUST THE CAT’S WHISKERS<br />

My introduction to Jaguar’s new F-Pace sport utility vehicle<br />

was a little out of the ordinary.<br />

At first use I was driving at considerable speed on a slalom<br />

course on one of the runways at the old Wigram Air Force<br />

base.<br />

It was part of an event titled the Jaguar Art of Performance<br />

Tour which showcased various Jaguar models in a sporty<br />

environment.<br />

<strong>The</strong> F-Pace was well suited to the challenge, even against<br />

its far sportier stablemates, the heritage for which we know<br />

Jaguar was immediately evident.<br />

<strong>The</strong> vehicle this evaluation focuses on is a little different to<br />

the one I drove at Wigram, instead of being diesel-powered,<br />

it has a 3-litre supercharged V6 engine. English car makers are<br />

no strangers to the supercharging concept, they’ve been doing<br />

it since Bentley in the 1930s, and Jaguar’s partner Land-Rover<br />

have produced many Range Rover models with superchargers.<br />

With that statement in mind, the F-Pace arrives here in six<br />

variations with three engine options, the 2-litre four-cylinder<br />

diesel as mentioned, a 3-litre V6 diesel and two supercharged<br />

V6s depending on how much power you want to own –<br />

250kW or 280kW.<br />

<strong>The</strong> range spans from $95,000 to $130,000 for the rangetopper<br />

as tested.<br />

For that money you get a wealth of specification, all of the<br />

items you would expect in a luxury car, and those fitting the<br />

Jaguar brand are fitted to the F-Pace.<br />

<strong>The</strong> concept of the F-Pace is different to that of any Jaguar<br />

I’ve driven before. As a company Jaguar knew that it would<br />

have to produce an SUV in order to stay competitive in<br />

the global market, and the way it has done that is far from<br />

traditional, the F-Pace S has style and design flair, it is far from<br />

boxy, yet still offers the practicality we demand from SUVs,<br />

along with providing stunning performance.<br />

Against its V8 powered stablemates the F-Pace’s 2995cc<br />

engine may seem a little underwhelming, but at 280kW and<br />

450Nm it does have enormous get up and go. According to<br />

Jaguar, the S will scamper to 100km/h from a standstill in<br />

5.1sec, and it will lunge through a highway overtake in 3.8sec.<br />

Jaguar also claim a 250km/h top speed.<br />

Drive flows through an eight-speed automatic transmission.<br />

It is a classy unit, with ratios and shift patterns well suited<br />

to the strong boost of supercharged power. As you would<br />

expect, there are sport shift protocols and an eco mode<br />

for those inevitable times when you are caught up in traffic.<br />

In eco mode there is gentle response to accelerator, which<br />

under those circumstances is by far the best option.<br />

For the Jaguar enthusiast who is familiar with the centre<br />

console-mounted gear shift dial, it is there in the F-Pace.<br />

Early January was a good time to be on the road evaluating<br />

as there was little traffic and dry roads. I took the test car on<br />

a long highway loop just east of the main divide on the scenic<br />

route SH72.<br />

<strong>The</strong> F-Pace cruises much like its high-profile stablemates, it<br />

is quiet and takes on quite a sporty persona, unlike many of<br />

the SUVs in today’s market. <strong>The</strong>re is little indication of height<br />

(1652mm), the centre of gravity seems low, body movement<br />

over the suspension is controlled and balanced. <strong>The</strong> fully<br />

independent system can be felt working, especially the rear<br />

Travel in comfort and style to explore new<br />

cultures, cuisines and landscapes, with a<br />

host to smooth the way. Flights included!<br />

linkages, but you would expect that from Jaguar; as a company<br />

it builds vehicles that offer an involving driving experience.<br />

<strong>The</strong> F-Pace has drive to all four wheels and it is an adaptive<br />

system, sending power to the rear when grip is threatened. In<br />

most cases the F-Pace would have a life on-road, it’s not an<br />

actual off-roader as such, but with 213mm of ground<br />

clearance it does have useful cross-country ability.<br />

Providing the grip are huge Continental tyres (255/50 x<br />

20in) which send strong information to the driver. On the<br />

Wigram slalom course there was little indication of push at<br />

the front or oversteer from the rear, steerage is direct and<br />

turn-in strong and decisive.<br />

<strong>The</strong> F-Pace in this form is also a frugal highway cruiser. <strong>The</strong><br />

engine is loping along slowly at just 1700rpm at 100km/h<br />

sipping fuel at the rate of just 7.5-litre per 100km (38mpg).<br />

Jaguar claim an 8.9l/100km (32mpg) combined cycle average<br />

which sits well with the trip computer readout of 10l/100km<br />

(28mpg) during my four days with the evaluation car.<br />

Jaguar’s first foray into the sport utility vehicle market is a<br />

result of many years of development, the F-Pace is a late entry<br />

but you can guarantee it has been engineered so that it won’t<br />

disappoint. You can certainly see that in its styling, it is a cross<br />

between sporty and functionality, and as a Jaguar owner you<br />

wouldn’t want anything less.<br />

I enjoyed my time with the vehicle, I’d be torn between<br />

petrol and diesel power and I hope to drive the latter at some<br />

point. However, in the interim, I’m sold, if I was a luxury car<br />

SUV buyer, it would be the top of my list.<br />

SPECTACULAR: Cruising into one of the fiords on the Emerald Princess and passing by Bowen Falls.<br />

Drifting through Fiordland<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

CRUISING through our<br />

fiords had been lingering<br />

on my wish-list for quite<br />

some time.<br />

I revere Fiordland and its<br />

formidable terrain, which<br />

produces its own weather<br />

pattern, with an annual<br />

rainfall index measured in<br />

metres.<br />

Recently, I boarded<br />

Princess Cruises’ latest<br />

liner to potter around our<br />

coastline, Emerald Princess,<br />

which is a novel way<br />

to appreciate the beauty of<br />

your own country.<br />

Sailing overnight from<br />

Port Chalmers, I awoke<br />

early to grizzled misty<br />

skies, as we entered the<br />

remote, untouched reaches<br />

of our biggest fiord, Dusky<br />

Sound. Fortified with<br />

freshly brewed coffee, I<br />

ventured out on the promenade<br />

deck, as we glided<br />

by cinematic mountain<br />

ranges, garlanded in wispy<br />

long white clouds.<br />

Fleetingly, a flash of frolicking<br />

dolphins was lapped<br />

up with palpable passenger<br />

delight. In stark contrast to<br />

the heavy swells rounding<br />

the South Otago Coast,<br />

the inky waters of Dusky<br />

Sound were millpondsmooth,<br />

as if the ship was<br />

gliding on an ice rink.<br />

To marvel at this masterpiece<br />

of grand-scale nature<br />

from the vantage point of<br />

a cruise ship really is quite<br />

breath-taking. Fiordland<br />

boasts 14 fiords and after<br />

Dusky, our next assignment<br />

was the exalted grandeur<br />

of Doubtful Sound.<br />

Entering its snout, this<br />

sky-piercing cathedral of<br />

sheer granite walls feels<br />

positively Jurassic, otherworldly<br />

and all-consuming.<br />

<strong>The</strong> live soundtrack of lofty<br />

waterfalls cascading down<br />

the sheep granite slopes<br />

serenaded our arrival,<br />

while lumbering fur seals<br />

wallowed on rocks by the<br />

entrance to the fiord.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sheer, rugged landscape<br />

of towering mountains,<br />

clad in primeval<br />

rainforest had me halfexpecting<br />

a brachiosaurus<br />

to shuffle into view.<br />

<strong>The</strong> heroic dimensions<br />

and the untouched beauty<br />

of the fiord that makes<br />

Doubtful such a profound<br />

encounter. Later in the<br />

day, the clouds cleared<br />

and spectacular sunshine<br />

bathed us in warmth, just<br />

as we entered Fiordland’s<br />

most famous poster-child,<br />

Milford Sound.<br />

<strong>The</strong> recent precipitation<br />

turned on a giant waterworks<br />

spectacle, with a<br />

vast curtain of waterfalls<br />

thundering down the rock<br />

faces to the sea.<br />

I spied the vein-like<br />

patterning of Bowen Falls<br />

turning on a splashy show,<br />

beyond the ship’s stern.<br />

On starboard side, the<br />

backside of Mitre Peak,<br />

thrust its majestic presence<br />

towards the heavens – the<br />

world’s tallest mountain to<br />

rise directly from the sea.<br />

<strong>The</strong> thick forests that<br />

carpeted the mountains<br />

took on an emerald hue<br />

in the golden autumn sun.<br />

But for all its wraparound<br />

photogenic splendour,<br />

it’s your relative sense of<br />

insignificance that comes<br />

into sharp relief, when<br />

thrust into the bosom of<br />

such ravishing, grand-scale<br />

majesty.<br />

I felt like a speck of life<br />

in a landscape carved<br />

for giants. And the<br />

113,000 tonnes of the<br />

15-storeyed Emerald<br />

Princess was similarly<br />

rendered comically small,<br />

in the clutches of such<br />

granite-walled grandeur.<br />

Drifting through the<br />

fiords, retired Department<br />

of Conservation senior<br />

ranger, Ian Thorne, was<br />

our expert guide with a<br />

treasure-chest of nuggets<br />

to share with us, after<br />

clocking up 35 years of<br />

conservation work in<br />

Fiordland.<br />

Ian specialised in<br />

biodiversity work with<br />

endangered birds and<br />

leading pest eradication<br />

programmes. It was a thrill<br />

to see Fiordland’s offshore<br />

islands up-close, which are<br />

veritable arks for our most<br />

endangered species.<br />

Richard Henry was<br />

one of pioneering<br />

conservationists,<br />

transferring kakapo and<br />

kiwi to islands in Dusky<br />

Sound, over a century<br />

ago. Many of the kakapo<br />

call Anchor Island home,<br />

which is predator free. Ian<br />

has worked extensively on<br />

its neighbour, Resolution<br />

Island, eradicating stoats<br />

in pursuit of predator-free<br />

status, too.<br />

Passing by Wet Jacket<br />

Arm, Ian remarked that<br />

this is where 10 Canadian<br />

moose were let loose in<br />

the forest, in 1910. In spite<br />

of persistent rumours<br />

of moose sightings, no<br />

evidence has surfaced that<br />

they’ve survived.<br />

As we exited Dusky, we<br />

drifted by another DOC<br />

sanctuary, Breaksea Island,<br />

which clocked up a worldfirst<br />

for its successful rat<br />

eradication programme.<br />

For all of the stupidity<br />

wrought by our forebears,<br />

introducing pests to our<br />

country, the tireless endeavours<br />

to safeguard our<br />

natural species in Fiordland’s<br />

dedicated sanctuaries<br />

is patriotically uplifting to<br />

see.<br />

WILDLIFE:<br />

Fur<br />

seals in<br />

Doubtful<br />

Sound.<br />

FAST FACTS<br />

•Princess Cruises operates<br />

a series of Australasian<br />

and South Pacific cruises,<br />

with five ships currently<br />

home-ported down<br />

under. An extensive<br />

schedule of sailings into<br />

Fiordland will resume<br />

later in the year, in the<br />

<strong>2017</strong>/18 summer season.<br />

twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />

each heavily outlined<br />

set of squares, called<br />

cages, must produce the<br />

number in the top corner.<br />

For example, 5+ means<br />

the numbers add up to 5,<br />

9x means the numbers<br />

multiply to equal 9.<br />

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

same line or row.<br />

Fresh driveline for<br />

Peugeot 2008<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

I’M A firm believer in the<br />

two-wheel-drive sport<br />

utility vehicle market.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reason being is that<br />

most SUV buyers have no<br />

intention of taking their<br />

cars/wagons into a loose<br />

surface environment, there<br />

is mostly little need for<br />

four-wheel-drive.<br />

A lot of manufacturers<br />

are into that concept and<br />

they are increasing the<br />

number of 2WD SUVs.<br />

Peugeot has just launched a<br />

new crossover/SUV/wagon<br />

– the 2008. While its concept<br />

has been around for<br />

a few years, the newcomer<br />

has a fresh driveline and a<br />

fairly hefty upgrade.<br />

Loosely based around<br />

the 208 platform, the 2008<br />

is an SUV of mini proportions<br />

at just over 4m, but it<br />

has a practical interior that<br />

is capable of transporting<br />

awkward loads with adaptable<br />

and versatile rear seat<br />

configurations.<br />

It is also a comfortable<br />

car for four adults, it’s a bit<br />

of squeeze width-wise for<br />

three adults in the rear but<br />

there’s no shortage of head<br />

or leg room, and the 2008<br />

is clever in the way it translates<br />

its limited space into<br />

occupant comfort.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2008 lands here in<br />

two levels, $34,990 will get<br />

you into the Allure, an extra<br />

$2000 will buy what Peugeot<br />

describes as the GT-Line, it<br />

gets a wealth of sporty trim<br />

accents, bigger wheels (17in)<br />

and a higher spec including<br />

a clever grip control system.<br />

Effectively, it is an advanced<br />

traction and stability control<br />

programme that also allows<br />

the 2008 to tackle those offthe-seal<br />

situations that arise<br />

from time to time, but bearing<br />

in mind cross-country<br />

travel is limited.<br />

Under the bonnet is a<br />

new turbocharged, threecylinder<br />

engine and sixspeed<br />

transmission which<br />

is finding its way across<br />

Peugeot and Citroen lineups.<br />

I’ve encountered<br />

this unit in other Peugeot<br />

product and it is an engine<br />

which punches well above<br />

its weight, you have to discard<br />

the notion of it being<br />

small, it is a strong, capable<br />

PEUGEOT 2008: Sport utility vehicle of mini proportions.<br />

power plant which thrills<br />

with its honesty.<br />

Peugeot rates the 1192cc<br />

unit at a healthy 81kW and<br />

205Nm. Not only are they<br />

high outputs for engine<br />

size, it’s the area where the<br />

power is developed that<br />

is most interesting. Peak<br />

power comes in at just<br />

5500rpm and maximum<br />

torque is available from<br />

1500rpm, both low in the<br />

rev band and that is what<br />

you need in all engines,<br />

the ability to haul from low<br />

revolutions. Boost from the<br />

turbocharger is also constant,<br />

there is little lag at<br />

any point.<br />

• Price – Peugeot<br />

2008, $36,990<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 4159mm;<br />

width, 1829mm;<br />

height, 1556mm<br />

• Configuration –<br />

Three-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,<br />

1199cc,<br />

81kW, 205Nm, sixspeed<br />

automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 10.3sec<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

4.8l/100km<br />

If you also add in the<br />

benefit of a six-speed<br />

automatic, there’s never a<br />

point where you think the<br />

gearing and engine output<br />

aren’t matched, the driveline<br />

is fluid and responsive.<br />

Peugeot also list a 1280kg<br />

kerb weight for the 2008,<br />

that’s quite light, offering<br />

a healthy power-to-weight<br />

ratio.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gearing has been<br />

structured so that there<br />

is reasonable acceleration<br />

to highway speed with<br />

TECHNOLOGY: Satellite navigation is fitted to the<br />

higher grade variant of the Peugeot 2008.<br />

a tallish top gear so that<br />

the engine is relaxed at<br />

100km/h, turning over<br />

slowly at 2000rpm.<br />

At that speed the engine<br />

is sipping fuel at the rate of<br />

just five-litres per 100km<br />

(56mpg), that promoted a<br />

7.2l/100km (39mpg) average<br />

during my time behind<br />

the wheel. <strong>The</strong>se are satisfactory<br />

figures but are a<br />

little distant to Peugeot’s<br />

4.8l/100km (58mpg)<br />

combined cycle claim,<br />

although my driving style<br />

doesn’t augur well for fuel<br />

economy.<br />

On the subject of figures,<br />

the 2008 is lively enough,<br />

it will reach 100km/h from<br />

a standstill in just over<br />

10sec and will complete a<br />

highway overtake in 6.9sec<br />

(80km/h to 120km/h).<br />

Peugeot has always had<br />

a reputation for ride/handling<br />

quality and that has<br />

been engineered into the<br />

2008. It has a compliant,<br />

moderately-firmed ride<br />

with a handling feel that<br />

is moderately sporty. <strong>The</strong><br />

chassis isn’t disturbed by<br />

mid-corner bumps or road<br />

deviations, the suspension<br />

does a good job of keeping<br />

body balance.<br />

Providing the grip are<br />

205/50 Good Year tyres,<br />

according to the casing they<br />

are worded all season and<br />

during my time with the<br />

test car they were certainly<br />

put to the test on wet surfaces,<br />

heavy rain lowered<br />

grip levels substantially.<br />

Nevertheless, the entire<br />

car felt secured to the<br />

road and steering feel is<br />

another Peugeot hallmark,<br />

the 2008 as a package constantly<br />

feels controlled and<br />

safe.<br />

<strong>The</strong> latter of course is<br />

five-star rated and sits<br />

beside a healthy level of<br />

specification, major features<br />

include satellite navigation,<br />

touch screen infotainment,<br />

cruise control<br />

and speed limiter and high<br />

quality trim materials.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new 2008 is an<br />

example of a good car<br />

made better, the new driveline<br />

is certainly a case of<br />

less is more.<br />

Why Ben Matulino is leaving the Warriors<br />

• By Michael Burgess<br />

FOR DEPARTING Warriors<br />

prop Ben Matulino, the Ivan<br />

Cleary factor was the single<br />

biggest reason in his decision to<br />

sign for West Tigers.<br />

It was confirmed close to<br />

midnight on Tuesday that<br />

Matulino had agreed terms with<br />

the Sydney club, after a week of<br />

speculation about his future.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Warriors statement emphasised<br />

that Matulino wanted<br />

to experience “living in Sydney<br />

with his family” but the 28-yearold<br />

confirmed that his close<br />

relationship with Cleary sealed<br />

the deal.<br />

“I’ve always had a close bond<br />

with [Cleary] and he was the<br />

main drawcard for me,” Matulino<br />

told Radio Sport on Tuesday<br />

night.<br />

“I know how he operates – seeing<br />

what he has done with other<br />

teams – and I was pretty keen to<br />

get on board with that.”<br />

Matulino also revealed that he<br />

came extremely close to signing<br />

for Penrith to rejoin Cleary a few<br />

years ago, and obviously wasn’t<br />

going to pass up another opportunity.<br />

“A couple of years back he<br />

almost got me to Penrith,” said<br />

Matulino.<br />

“I was a couple of days away<br />

from signing there and I ended<br />

up staying with the Warriors.<br />

“[This decision was about]<br />

linking up with my old coach<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

and testing myself in a different<br />

environment. For me it was<br />

about getting a fresh start –<br />

starting from the bottom of the<br />

pecking order and working my<br />

way up.”<br />

Cleary gave Matulino his<br />

NRL debut at the Warriors in<br />

2008, and three seasons later<br />

Matulino was the cornerstone<br />

of the Warriors pack that went<br />

to the grand-final. He has had<br />

patches of good form over the<br />

last few seasons, but never really<br />

recaptured his best under<br />

the Warriors’ revolving cast of<br />

coaches since 2012.<br />

<strong>The</strong> news is another blow to<br />

the Auckland club off the back of<br />

Kieran Foran’s likely move to the<br />

Bulldogs for the 2018 season.<br />

Matulino managed 48 minutes<br />

in Tuesday night’s 20-14 loss<br />

to the Storm, his first match of<br />

the season after a longer than<br />

expected recovery from knee<br />

surgery.<br />

Following in Steven Adams’ footsteps<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

ANGUS MCWILLIAM will<br />

follow in the footsteps of Kiwi<br />

NBA star Steven Adams when he<br />

joins Texas Christian University<br />

next year.<br />

McWilliam, 17, has committed<br />

to play at TCU under coach<br />

Jamie Dixon, who was Adams’<br />

head coach at the University of<br />

Pittsburgh from 2012-2013.<br />

“What Steven Adams is doing<br />

is the goal for many of us,” said<br />

McWilliam. “To know that a<br />

coach I’m going to be playing for<br />

helped him get to where he is,<br />

that’s really cool to know.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2.10m power forward<br />

came to TCU’s attention during a<br />

trip with the Mainland Eagles to<br />

Las Vegas in December. TCU assistant<br />

head coach David Patrick<br />

was impressed with McWilliam<br />

and invited him for an official<br />

visit to the university in January,<br />

where he met Dixon.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y were just so welcoming<br />

and made me feel part of the<br />

family right from the get go. I was<br />

pretty sold on it when I came back<br />

from the visit,” said McWilliam.<br />

Dixon was in Christchurch<br />

earlier this month, where he<br />

spent time with McWilliam’s<br />

family and also held a coaching<br />

seminar at Middleton Grange,<br />

McWilliam’s high school.<br />

After 13 years as head coach at<br />

Pittsburgh, Dixon joined TCU<br />

last year and led them to the NIT<br />

championship, widely regarded<br />

as the second biggest prize in<br />

college basketball.<br />

In July, McWilliam will<br />

travel to Egypt with the Junior<br />

Tall Blacks to compete at the<br />

under-19 basketball World Cup.<br />

After the World Cup, he will<br />

finish his final year at Middleton<br />

Grange, where he is deputy head<br />

boy, and hopes to play for the<br />

Canterbury Rams before making<br />

the trip to Texas.<br />

Christ’s play for<br />

Moascar Cup<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

THE OPENING round of the UC<br />

Championship will see Christ’s<br />

College challenge Nelson College<br />

for the Moascar Cup, secondary<br />

school rugby’s equivalent of the<br />

Ranfurly Shield.<br />

Christ’s will be coached by<br />

former All Black captain Reuben<br />

Thorne for a second season. Last<br />

year, they finished at the top of<br />

the round-robin before losing<br />

to Shirley Boys’ High School in<br />

a muddy semi-final. Nelson has<br />

held the Moascar Cup since June.<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />

will be expected to brush aside<br />

their opening clash of the season<br />

when they host Waimea Combined.<br />

Enari thinking attack at under-20 rugby world champs<br />

• By Campbell Burnes<br />

THE NEW Zealand under-20s<br />

are mindful of having a back up<br />

plan to their attacking strategy<br />

ahead of next month’s world<br />

champs in Georgia.<br />

Last year in England, New<br />

Zealand clearly had the most<br />

talented backs – such as Shaun<br />

Stevenson and Jordie Barrett –<br />

and ability to play high octane<br />

rugby, but when the weather<br />

turned and the refereeing and<br />

As I do stand out<br />

If you’re ready to<br />

So go ahead give<br />

me a try!!!<br />

opposition tactics were not conducive<br />

to running rugby, they<br />

did not handle the pressure, their<br />

loss to Ireland leading to a lowly<br />

fifth place finish.<br />

“We’ve looked at our attack<br />

structures and where we want<br />

to attack. We’re hopeful about<br />

the weather in Georgia and that<br />

will play in our favour,” said New<br />

Zealand coach Craig Philpott.<br />

New Zealand will get to try<br />

out some of those attacking<br />

structures this Friday against<br />

BRoUghT To yoU By ThE ChRiSTChURCh STaR<br />

Fiji on the Gold Coast when the<br />

Oceania under-20 championship<br />

begins. <strong>The</strong>re is still much to play<br />

for among the 31 players, as the<br />

final cull for Georgia will see 28<br />

travelling to the world champs.<br />

Canterbury halfback Ere Enari<br />

is the vice-captain and has the<br />

green light to control some of the<br />

options.<br />

“We haven’t quite got that far<br />

yet (on tweaking the attack) but<br />

the learnings from last year are<br />

that we shouldn’t be too onedimensional<br />

and be able to adapt<br />

on the day,” said the 19-year-old.<br />

He is one of four former St<br />

Kentigern College first XV players<br />

so Enari knows a bit about<br />

high performance teams.<br />

But things have not all been<br />

plain sailing for Enari since he<br />

left school, due to a 2015 broken<br />

leg. But he did play for the 2015<br />

New Zealand Universities side –<br />

he is in his third year of a BCom<br />

at Lincoln – before appearing in<br />

nine games for the 2016 Mitre<br />

10 Cup premiership champions<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Now he is on a Crusaders<br />

training contract.<br />

But before Georgia, he and the<br />

team need to front in Australia.<br />

In 2016, he came off the bench in<br />

one Oceania game.<br />

“It’ll be a bigger challenge this<br />

time as we only get one crack at<br />

Australia (May 6). We want to<br />

perform in each test because it’ll<br />

be quite a similar schedule to the<br />

World Cup.” –NZ Herald<br />

How to stay<br />

warm and dry<br />

Kiwi homes contain hidden health dangers. Yet first aid<br />

for unhealthy homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can make a<br />

home more saleable as well as a healthier place to live.<br />

Many older homes are cold and<br />

damp and sometimes have other<br />

hazards such as lead-based paint and<br />

asbestos.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are a number of steps to take<br />

to make your home more healthy.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y include behavioural change,<br />

the cheapest way to make your home<br />

healthier is to open windows to<br />

ventilate.<br />

If you’re out a lot, but want to<br />

increase natural ventilation buy some<br />

security window stays or locks that<br />

allow you to leave windows slightly<br />

open when you’re out. This can be a lot<br />

cheaper to buy and run than high-tech<br />

systems.<br />

If nothing else, insulate the ceiling<br />

and under the house. <strong>The</strong> Energy<br />

Efficiency and Conservation Authority<br />

(EECA) has information on its website<br />

about funding grants available through<br />

the Warm Up New Zealand campaign.<br />

By 1 July 2019 all rental properties<br />

must have ceiling and underfloor<br />

insulation Ventilation systems move<br />

moisture from the air making the<br />

home healthier and feel warmer.<br />

Adding a sheet of heavy polythene<br />

beneath a home can provide an efficient<br />

moisture barrier beneath piled homes.<br />

A heat pump will warm and ventilate<br />

rooms in the winter and cool them in<br />

the summer. Watch out for hard sell in<br />

this market though and shop around<br />

before buying heating or ventilation<br />

systems.<br />

EECA suggests a number of different<br />

options for secondary glazing, which<br />

is cheaper than retrofitting double<br />

glazing.<br />

Alternatives include DIY window<br />

insulation, aluminium framed<br />

secondary glazing on the inside of<br />

the existing glazing, or acrylic sheets<br />

attached internally.<br />

<strong>The</strong> latest technology is Low-E films,<br />

which are stuck to existing windows.<br />

This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent<br />

says Chris Olson, general manager of<br />

<strong>The</strong>rmafilmNZ.<br />

Healthy homes aren’t just about<br />

insulation and moisture removal.<br />

Using fewer toxic chemicals can<br />

make your home healthier to live in.<br />

Parents of young children sometimes<br />

worry about exposure to chemicals as<br />

do asthma sufferers. As a result some<br />

buyers will also be impressed.<br />

Dust mites can make a home<br />

unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter<br />

on your vacuum cleaner or at least<br />

vacuum more often and empty the bag<br />

between cleans.<br />

Decluttering as well reduces the<br />

places that dust can build up.<br />

Mould spores can be very bad<br />

for your lungs. If mould builds up<br />

anywhere in your house clean it off as<br />

soon as possible. If this is an ongoing<br />

problem consider ways to reduce the<br />

humidity.<br />

If your home was built before the<br />

1980s watch out for lead paint and<br />

asbestos. Both should be removed by<br />

an expert.<br />
