Schools told of child sex offender<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
SCHOOLS IN south<br />
Christchurch have been told a<br />
convicted child sex offender will<br />
soon be living near them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were notified on Tuesday<br />
by the Department of Corrections<br />
which assured them that<br />
there will be 24/7 monitoring,<br />
exclusion zones to prevent<br />
contact with children, and the<br />
offender will be housed more<br />
than 500m from schools.<br />
Letters were sent to schools,<br />
including Somerfield School,<br />
St Peter’s School and Cashmere<br />
High School. ABC Somerfield<br />
Childcare was also told.<br />
Corrections staff were also going<br />
door-to-door in Somerfield<br />
yesterday letting the community<br />
know.<br />
Detective Sergeant Brad<br />
Grainger of the police child<br />
protection team said they<br />
were working closely with<br />
Corrections. He would not<br />
reveal the offender’s identity or<br />
past crimes, and referred <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong> to Corrections for further<br />
comment.<br />
Corrections said they were not<br />
able to respond to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> late<br />
yesterday.<br />
Somerfield principal Denise<br />
Torrey said while they are not<br />
thrilled they will have a sex<br />
offender living amongst them,<br />
it was about reinforcing good<br />
safety policies.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are multiple schools in<br />
this area so they are always going<br />
to be close. But we have to just<br />
make sure we are pushing those<br />
safety messages to keep our children<br />
safe,” she said.<br />
St Peter’s principal Pamela<br />
Arthurs said it is out of their<br />
control and she has full faith in<br />
Corrections to keep the person<br />
monitored and children safe.<br />
“We accept people need to be<br />
reintegrated and have a chance<br />
to make it right,” she said.<br />
Both principals said they had<br />
notified parents about the sex<br />
offender’s arrival. Ms Torrey<br />
said there had been a little bit of<br />
negative feedback.<br />
“I have been asked for a name<br />
and address, which I don’t have<br />
and couldn’t give out even if I<br />
did,” Ms Torrey said.<br />
ABC Somerfield’s manager<br />
said she could not comment.<br />
Somerfield Residents Association<br />
chairwoman Julie Tobbell<br />
said it was better to be warned<br />
than be in the dark about the<br />
situation.<br />
“It is a concern as a parent, but<br />
it allows us to prepare our kids<br />
for these situations by explaining<br />
stranger danger,” she said.<br />
Baxter<br />
returns<br />
home<br />
after 14<br />
months<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
WHERE BAXTER has been for<br />
more than a year is a mystery –<br />
and the things the little dog may<br />
have seen he will never be able to<br />
tell.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 10-year-old bichon frise<br />
has been compared to Wilson the<br />
Lotto Dog – finding his way home<br />
after a long adventure.<br />
He was found wandering in<br />
Hornby on Sunday about 6km<br />
away from the Avonhead home<br />
where he went missing 14 months<br />
ago.<br />

A NICE warm fuzzy canine<br />
story on the front page today –<br />
a 14-month reunion between<br />
owner and dog.<br />
Baxter the bichon frise is back<br />
with his owner after disappearing<br />
in early March last year.<br />
Clearly, somebody has had<br />
Baxter. He’s microchipped and<br />
has a collar and he has been<br />
fairly well looked after.<br />
So it doesn’t take much<br />
detective work to work out that<br />
whoever was caring for Baxter<br />
didn’t alert the city council,<br />
which would then have been<br />
able to track down owner<br />
Mackenzie Kane and send him<br />
home.<br />
Baxter must have done a<br />
runner in recent days, which as<br />
it turns out was a good thing.<br />
Someone else found him, did<br />
the right thing and Baxter was<br />
reunited with Mackenzie.<br />
A lovely story and what a<br />
cracker pic from photographer<br />
Martin Hunter.<br />
On another note, probably<br />
worrying times for parents in<br />
south Christchurch. Read our<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw the first trotting meeting held at Lancaster<br />
Park on May 29, 1886. On the same day in 1926 a broadcast<br />
from a rugby match at Lancaster Park was New Zealand’s first.<br />
Commentator Allan Allardyce was soon to pioneer broadcasts of<br />
racing, cricket and hockey for station 3YA. He also gave live coverage<br />
of Kingsford-Smith’s landing at Wigram in 1928. In 1967 the new<br />
Bank of New Zealand building in Cathedral Square was opened. On<br />
<strong>June</strong> 1, 1862, Christchurch Hospital was opened on site in Hagley<br />
Park. But only after the first vigorous Hands off Hagley protests by<br />
irate citizens. On <strong>June</strong> 1, 1961, television transmission began on<br />
CHTV 3. On <strong>June</strong> 2, 1874, <strong>The</strong> Press started publishing an evening<br />
paper, <strong>The</strong> Globe, to compete with <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>. It became <strong>The</strong> Telegraph,<br />
then <strong>The</strong> Truth then Evening News. Publication ceased in May 1917.<br />
On <strong>June</strong> 4, 1864, a fire in Colombo St destroyed buildings between<br />
Hereford and Cashel Sts.<br />

WANTED MAN’S PHOTO COPS EARFUL<br />
A man wanted for arrest in Canterbury<br />
has become an online hit. Police have<br />
issued a warrant to arrest 29-year-old<br />
Lucas William Vincent. But a Facebook<br />
post, which includes a mug shot of him,<br />
on the Canterbury Police page has been<br />
inundated with people commenting on<br />
Vincent’s left ear, which appears to have<br />
been damaged somehow. “He’s going to<br />
get an earful when his mother finds out<br />
about this,” one man said. “I’ll let you<br />
know if I ear anything.” “Noted for having<br />
a fight with Mike Tyson once,” another<br />
offered.

More problems for Maddie<br />
Teenager<br />
determined<br />
to beat<br />
illness<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
MADDIE COLLINS has spent<br />
most of her life battling kidney<br />
failure – now the 13-year-old<br />
has been dealt another lifethreatening<br />
blow.<br />
She was told last week while<br />
at <strong>Star</strong>ship Hospital for kidney<br />
treatment that her heart is also<br />
failing.<br />
If Maddie had a successful<br />
kidney transplant, her heart<br />
could recover, but without one,<br />
she would be at risk of a heart<br />
attack, her mother Sarah Manson<br />
Collins said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> news had hit Maddie and<br />
the whole family hard, she said.<br />
“She was in the room when<br />
they told us and she said, ‘okay,<br />
how many months have I got to<br />
live?’ We said, ‘no, it’s not like<br />
that, you’re going to be okay,’”<br />
she said.<br />
Kidney problems can force the<br />
heart to pump harder, putting a<br />
lot of strain on it. An American<br />
study has found children on dialysis<br />
for kidney problems were<br />
1000 times more likely to have a<br />
fatal heart attack.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family has been fundraising<br />
to take Maddie to <strong>The</strong> John<br />
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,<br />
United States, next month where<br />
more advanced treatment may<br />
make it easier to match a donated<br />
kidney.<br />
In 2<strong>01</strong>2, her father, Adam Collins,<br />
donated one of his kidneys<br />
to Maddie, but her body rejected<br />
it.<br />
“We know we’re fighting<br />
uphill to find a match for Maddie,<br />
but you’ve got to believe in<br />
miracles,” Mrs Manson Collins<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> treatment offered in the<br />
United States would make it<br />
less likely Maddie’s body would<br />
reject a donated kidney.<br />
However, it comes at a price –<br />
the full treatment is expected to<br />
cost about $350,000.<br />
Givealittle pages have already<br />
raised more than $80,000 for<br />
Maddie, and people in the community<br />
had also been incredibly<br />
generous, Mrs Manson Collins<br />
said.<br />
Many people, from family<br />
members to total strangers, had<br />
also volunteered to be tested to<br />
see if their kidneys might be a<br />
match for Maddie.<br />
She had no idea how many, as<br />
the family were not allowed to<br />
know unless a match was found.<br />
But even though none so far<br />
had matched Maddie, Mrs Manson<br />
Collins said every person<br />
willing to donate an organ had<br />
helped someone.<br />
“It’s not just about Maddie.<br />
We don’t have enough organ<br />
donors and that’s what this is<br />
about, so if I can make more<br />
people talk about organ donations<br />
I’ll have succeeded,” she<br />
said.<br />
She said Maddie had been<br />
finding things tough, as her<br />
treatment meant she missed a<br />
lot at her school, St Margaret’s<br />
College, and couldn’t do many<br />
things with her friends.<br />
“People say she looks so well,<br />
she looks so healthy, but you<br />
don’t see kidney failure until<br />
you lift up her shirt and see all<br />
those lines in her body,” she<br />
said.<br />
HOPEFUL: Maddie Collins<br />
and her mum Sarah Manson<br />
Collins learned last week<br />
that Maddie’s kidney disease<br />
has caused early stage heart<br />
failure – but they are hopeful<br />
she will recover with quick<br />
treatment. PHOTO: MARTIN<br />
HUNTER<br />
But she said Maddie’s love for<br />
animals, the people around her<br />
and her passion for life kept her<br />
strong.<br />
“Maddie is incredible. When<br />
she gets on her pony everything<br />
is right for her, even though I<br />
know how much energy it takes<br />
her to ride. Her inner strength<br />
puts some of us to shame sometimes,”<br />
she said.<br />

In Brief<br />
CRASH VICTIM NAMED<br />
<strong>The</strong> man who died when the car<br />
he was a passenger in crashed<br />
into a Mairehau house last week<br />
has been named. He was 26-yearold<br />
Bjorn Jabez James Mokoraka<br />
Waiti. <strong>The</strong> crash happened on<br />
Friday just after 10pm. <strong>The</strong> driver<br />
was taken to hospital with serious<br />
injuries. <strong>The</strong> investigation into<br />
the crash is ongoing. Meanwhile,<br />
a 24-year-old killed when his<br />
vehicle crashed into a tree on<br />
Easterbrook Rd, Fernside, on<br />
Tuesday morning has been<br />
named as Ethan Crone.<br />
RISK OF MYRTLE RUST<br />
Myrtle rust disease which can<br />
kill native trees could reach<br />
Christchurch. City council<br />
head of parks Andrew Rutledge<br />
said the disease, recently<br />
discovered in New Zealand,<br />
was likely to reach Christchurch<br />
“at some point”. Myrtle rust is<br />
an invasive fungus that attacks<br />
members of the myrtle family<br />
of plants, such as manuka, rata,<br />
kanuka and pohutukawa, feijoa<br />
and eucalyptus.<br />
SHOPLIFTER DETAINED<br />
Customers held onto a shoplifter<br />
who tried to steal tobacco at<br />
a Riccarton dairy until police<br />
arrived on Tuesday night. A<br />
23-year-old woman allegedly<br />
grabbed a packet of tobacco<br />
and attempted to run from the<br />
Naresh Foodstore on Riccarton<br />
Rd at about 7.45pm. Police said<br />
the offender had been charged<br />
with assault and will appear in<br />
the district court tomorrow.<br />
RYMAN RESIDENT STUDY<br />
Residents and staff at Ryman<br />
Healthcare’s retirement villages<br />
have raised $330,000 to fund a<br />
heart research project. <strong>The</strong> money<br />
will fund the Heart Foundation<br />
Clinical Fellowship, a three-year<br />
study into cardiovascular disease,<br />
run by the Christchurch Heart<br />
Institute. <strong>The</strong> study will begin in<br />
Christchurch this year and look<br />
into cardiovascular disease in<br />
residents of Ryman Healthcare<br />
facilities.

Gang member jailed for $1m drug bust<br />
• By Sam Hurley<br />
GANG INVOLVEMENT in<br />
the methamphetamine supply<br />
into Christchurch has been<br />
played out at the High Court at<br />
Auckland.<br />
Rebels Outlaw motor-cycle<br />
gang member Daryn Bruce<br />
Catley, 31, has been jailed this<br />
week for nine years for his role in<br />
smuggling more than $1 million<br />
of the highly addictive drug.<br />
Catley, 31, was arrested in September<br />
2<strong>01</strong>5 as part of Operation<br />
Tea, an investigation in to large<br />
amounts of methamphetamine<br />
that were being sourced in<br />
Auckland by organised criminal<br />
groups and transported to<br />
Christchurch by air and vehicles.<br />
In Auckland, late on September<br />
13, 2<strong>01</strong>5, Catley gave his<br />
co-offender, Stephen Hames<br />
Harland, a black Nike bag full<br />
of meth and instructed him to<br />
drive a rental car to Christchurch,<br />
court documents show.<br />
Catley was to travel to<br />
Christchurch separately and<br />
meet Harland to secure the<br />
drugs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following morning<br />
Harland drove to Wellington to<br />
board the Interislander ferry to<br />
Picton at 8.30pm.<br />
But at midnight, as Harland<br />
drove off the ferry and on to<br />
the Picton wharf, armed police<br />
swooped.<br />
Inside the Nike bag was 1.15kg<br />
of meth, worth $1.15m on the<br />
street, a further $2930 and three<br />
cellphones.<br />
But the Interislander bust was<br />
just the start of a joint police<br />
BUSTED: Motor-cycle gang member Daryn Bruce Catley, 31, who was caught trying to smuggle<br />
$1 million of methamphetamine to Christchurch. PHOTO: FACEBOOK<br />
operation and 60min later police<br />
stormed Catley’s Christchurch<br />
home, known to be the Rebels<br />
club rooms.<br />
A sawn-off .22 rifle was found,<br />
along with a small amount of<br />
meth, more than $5200, and<br />
Rebels paraphernalia.<br />
Later that morning another<br />
home in Greenlane, Auckland,<br />
also listed to Catley, was raided<br />
and 12.5g of meth was found,<br />
some in plastic lock bags; along<br />
with several glass “P” pipes,<br />
scales, $152,100 of cash in a<br />
wardrobe safe, $6790 strewn<br />
across the lounge, and $4000 in<br />
a Subaru.<br />
Catley was also found to be in<br />
possession of a Taser.<br />
In court, defence counsel<br />
Mathew Goodwin disputed the<br />
Crown’s calculation for the value<br />
of the meth in the Nike bag.<br />
He said estimates from 2<strong>01</strong>5<br />
show that, per gram, meth was<br />
$600 to $700.<br />
However, Goodwin and the<br />
Crown accepted there was a level<br />
of sophistication to the drug<br />
trade.<br />
But the court heard that the<br />
kingpin of the operation has<br />
escaped prosecution for the trade<br />
because of a lack of evidence<br />
linking him to the crimes.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> person that rented the<br />
car for Mr Harland, both parties<br />
agree, is at the top level of the<br />
chain. He’s in charge of everything,”<br />
Mr Goodwin said.<br />
He added Catley was a “raging”<br />
meth addict and was<br />
brought into the drug operation<br />
“late in the piece.”<br />
“He dipped his paws into it<br />
and [that’s why] his fingerprints<br />
are on the packages.”<br />
Justice Mark Woolford said although<br />
Catley wasn’t the top dog<br />
in the trade he was “certainly<br />
involved in the logistical chain.”<br />
“You had some leadership role<br />
in the gang. Either way I’m satisfied<br />
that you played a meaningful<br />
role.”<br />
Judge Woolford said Catley<br />
was the “treasurer” for the Rebels<br />
and trusted with significant<br />
amounts of money.<br />
“Even if higher members<br />
were involved, senior members<br />
imposed significant trust and<br />
responsibility in you.”<br />
However, when sentencing<br />
Catley, Judge Woolford said<br />
there were genuine elements of<br />
remorse and noted Catley’s addiction<br />
motivated him to offend.<br />
“You can relate to what your<br />
drug customers are going<br />
through given your own use.<br />
Methamphetamine offending<br />
has an enormous impact on<br />
society.”<br />
He said Catley’s family, of<br />
whom his mum, dad and aunt<br />
were in court, wanted to see him<br />
“change in the future and head<br />
down a different course.”<br />
Goodwin said his client had<br />
kicked his drug habit after<br />
time in custody, in spite of<br />
the “temptations in the prison<br />
system.”<br />
After Catley was sentenced on<br />
his three drugs and one weapons-related<br />
charges, he was led<br />
away to the cells, past his tearful<br />
family in the public gallery.<br />
Woolford asked the young<br />
man’s emotional mother to<br />
offer her son “continuing support.”<br />
Harland is due to be sentenced<br />
next week.<br />

Bypass takes shape<br />
THIS IS what the Western<br />
Belfast Bypass looks like two<br />
years after work started.<br />
<strong>The</strong> New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency released drone footage<br />
this week of the $122 million<br />
project which will see a new<br />
four-lane, 5km stretch of highway<br />
constructed.<br />
Bypassing Belfast, it will extend<br />
the Christchurch Northern<br />
Motorway (SH1) and connect<br />
into State Highway 1/ Johns Rd,<br />
west of <strong>The</strong> Groynes entrance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bypass is part of the Government’s<br />
Christchurch Roads<br />
of National Significance programme,<br />
a multi-million dollar<br />
plan to make it easier and safer<br />
to travel throughout Christchurch<br />
and the Canterbury region.<br />
NZTA Christchurch highways<br />
manager Colin Knaggs said the<br />
project, which got under way<br />
two years ago this month, is<br />
about 80 per cent complete.<br />
“Over 375,000 hours have<br />
been worked on this project so<br />
far and it is progressing well as<br />
this drone footage shows,” Mr<br />
Knaggs said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Fulton Hogan construction<br />
team are currently focusing<br />
on three new bridges which<br />
will carry the Western Belfast<br />
Bypass above Groynes Dr and<br />
Dickeys Rd, and over a new onramp<br />
that will link Main North<br />
Rd to the Northern Motorway.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>se three structures are a<br />
major part of the project and<br />
are now close to being finished<br />
which is a great milestone for<br />
the project team.<br />
Mr Knaggs said a lot of the<br />
work that went into these<br />
bridges is underground, hidden<br />
from view.<br />
“Before the project team<br />
could start building they had to<br />
carry out ground improvement<br />
work, constructing around 2400<br />
columns of gravel and stone into<br />
the ground to make it denser,”<br />
he said.<br />
“This reduces the effects of<br />
liquefaction and ensures the<br />
bridge embankments remain<br />
stable, preventing damage to<br />
the bridge structures during an<br />
earthquake.”<br />
In addition, more than<br />
30 steel encased reinforced<br />
concrete piles support each<br />
structure and extend 18 to 20m<br />
below ground level.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drone footage shows the<br />
2km long mid-section of the<br />
project which has been out of<br />
public view during construction.<br />
“Aside from some road marking<br />
and other minor finishing<br />
touches, this section of the<br />
project is also close to being<br />
finished,” Mr Knaggs said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bypass is expected to be<br />
complete by early 2<strong>01</strong>8.<br />
Baxter returns home<br />
•Form page 1<br />
Mackenzie Kane had given up<br />
on ever seeing her little dog again.<br />
Baxter escaped one evening in<br />
March last year, after someone<br />
left their garage door open.<br />
She had done everything she<br />
could to try to find him – walked<br />
the streets, posted on Facebook<br />
groups, and called the pound and<br />
the city council so many times<br />
they knew her by name.<br />
Every few weeks she would get<br />
another call about a bichon frise<br />
someone had found, and every<br />
time she would again be hopeful<br />
it might be Baxter – but each time<br />
her hopes would be dashed.<br />
“I gave up hope by the end of it.<br />
It’s kind of heart-breaking. Every<br />
time I saw a bichon on the street<br />
I’d wonder, is it him?” she said.<br />
On Monday, she got the call<br />
she had been waiting more than<br />
a year for.<br />
Baxter had been found.<br />
Mackenzie’s mother, Christine<br />
Kane, picked Baxter up. He looked<br />
a little scruffy, but well fed.<br />
As soon as Mackenzie finished<br />
work she drove straight to see<br />
him.<br />
She said it was an emotional<br />
reunion, with a lot of wet kisses.<br />
“I was worried after 14 months<br />
he wouldn’t recognise me, but he<br />
did. He did his party trick, which<br />

Lotto dog, as both found<br />
their way home after long<br />

was dancing on his back legs, and<br />
he was doing his excited whimper,”<br />

Baxter was microchipped and<br />

he was still wearing when found<br />
in Hornby.<br />
Mackenzie said someone must<br />
have been feeding him over the<br />

that, but if they had taken him to<br />
any vet or called the city council,<br />
they could have easily found the<br />
family and saved a lot of heartbreak.<br />
She was just glad to have him<br />
back, she said.<br />

been. Baxter must have some stories,<br />

Brownlee put on spot over knowledge<br />
• By David Fisher<br />
TENSION OVER the rules<br />
governing the release of<br />
Government-held information<br />
to the public have led to<br />
questions over Gerry Brownlee’s<br />
knowledge of the Official<br />
Information Act.<br />
Mr Brownlee the Minister of<br />
Foreign Affairs, told the New<br />
Zealand Herald he had experienced<br />
“frustration” over uncertainty<br />
about when information<br />
could be released to the public<br />
and when it could be properly<br />
withheld.<br />
In an effort to get more details,<br />
Mr Brownlee, the former Minister<br />
supporting Christchurch<br />
Regenertion, sent the Office of<br />
the Ombudsman an Official<br />
Information Act request.<br />
<strong>The</strong> problem? A basic principle<br />
of the OIA is that offices of Parliament<br />
– including the Office<br />
of the Ombudsman – are not<br />
covered by the legislation.<br />
Documents released to<br />
the Herald show Mr Brownlee’s<br />
request failed to result in the<br />
documents he asked for and instead<br />
led to a meeting with Chief<br />
Ombudsman Judge Peter Boshier<br />
– who he called “Mr Boshier”<br />
throughout an interview on the<br />
UNEASE: Gerry Brownlee and Chief Ombudsman Judge Peter Boshier.<br />
issue with the Herald.<br />
Herald: “It’s Judge Boshier isn’t<br />
it?”<br />
Mr Brownlee: “I don’t think<br />
so.”<br />
Herald: “He’s still a judge.”<br />
Mr Brownlee: “You can call<br />
him what you want. I don’t believe<br />
he has a warrant.”<br />
Judge Boshier – and, yes, he<br />
retains his title – would not be<br />
interviewed for this story but<br />
documents released through the<br />
Official Information Act show<br />
reflected tensions inside the Government.<br />
He wrote that after meeting<br />
Mr Brownlee he was “genuinely<br />
worried” the Government believed<br />
the rules had changed and<br />
the Office of the Ombudsman<br />
wanted “everything released”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Official Information Act<br />
is designed to make Ministers<br />
and officials accountable, and to<br />
allow the public greater involvement<br />
in the creation and operation<br />
of laws and policies.<br />
But it has come under pressure<br />
in recent years with changes in<br />
Government structure, practice<br />
and changes in technology.<br />
As a result, a 2<strong>01</strong>5 review by<br />
the Office of the Ombudsman<br />
found “ministerial officials<br />
pressured agencies to alter their<br />
responses” and mixed advice on<br />
how to respond to requests.<br />
It followed a State Services<br />
Commission survey which found<br />
just 24 per cent of public servants<br />
were familiar with the Ombudsman’s<br />
Official Information Act<br />
guidelines.<br />
And it came after criticism over<br />
the Government’s handling of<br />
OIA requests, including former<br />
Prime Minister John Key’s admission<br />
the Government deliberately<br />
delayed releasing information if it<br />
suited its purposes to do so.<br />
Mr Brownlee told the Herald:<br />
“Of course I know the Office [of<br />
the Ombudsman] is not subject<br />
to the OIA.<br />
“I was trying to make the point<br />
that if you want to have a truly<br />
free and open society . . . the<br />
Ombudsman’s office is not a <strong>Star</strong><br />
Chamber or an inquisitor. It’s a<br />
body that’s designed to treat all<br />
New Zealanders fairly and that<br />
means us [government] too.”<br />
He said he had “discussions<br />
with Mr Boshier that left me<br />
with questions” and he hoped<br />
the OIA request would provide<br />
answers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> paper trail between Mr<br />
Brownlee’s office and the Office<br />
of the Ombudsman showed<br />
he made his OIA request after<br />
learning Judge Boshier had<br />
overturned a decision by the<br />
Earthquake Commission to<br />
withhold information being<br />
sought under the OIA. Mr<br />
Brownlee is Minister Responsible<br />
for the EQC.<br />
Mr Brownlee referred to a<br />
statement that the Office of the<br />
Ombudsman intended to carry<br />
out a series of “proactive investigations”<br />
into OIA practices by<br />
those subject to the Act.<br />
He stated that he sought “under<br />
the provisions of the OIA”<br />
any “memos, emails, phone records,<br />
meeting agendas, dates on<br />
which this matters was discussed<br />
and any other material relating<br />
to proactive ongoing investigations.”<br />

Thursday <strong>June</strong> 1 2<strong>01</strong>7 7<br />
of Official Information Act<br />
In response, Judge Boshier<br />
said: “I am heartened by your<br />
interest in this area.” While he<br />
added that he would “greatly<br />
appreciate the opportunity to<br />
discuss this with you in person”,<br />
none of the information Mr<br />
Brownlee sought was supplied.<br />
Instead, Judge Boshier and Mr<br />
Brownlee met on September 8 in<br />
a conversation that left the Chief<br />
Ombudsman with a feeling of<br />
“unease”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> comment is revealed in an<br />
email from Judge Boshier to Andrew<br />
Kibblewhite, chief executive<br />
of the Department of Prime<br />
Minister and Cabinet, who had a<br />
staff member at the meeting.<br />
Judge Boshier wrote: “Unless<br />
I am mistaken, there is a<br />
perception that our Office wants<br />
everything released. <strong>The</strong> Minister<br />
approached this meeting in<br />
quite a businesslike fashion, and<br />
I think the reason for that was<br />
a genuine perception that the<br />
rules have changed and that we<br />
are pushing for a wider range of<br />
ministerial advice and briefings<br />
to be released.<br />
“I am genuinely worried about<br />
this perception.”<br />
He told Mr Kibblewhite he<br />
hoped the briefing he got from<br />
his staffer showed “the rules have<br />
not changed at all”.<br />
Judge Boshier took over the<br />
role in December 2<strong>01</strong>5 and has<br />
been regarded by some as overseeing<br />
a sea-change in the Office<br />
of the Ombudsman, which was<br />
struggling under the burden of a<br />
massive workload and investigations<br />
which were long-delayed.<br />
But his approach has caused<br />
nervousness in some parts of<br />
government after the office’s support<br />
for the release of information<br />
traditionally believed to be<br />
safe from scrutiny.<br />
That has included advice from<br />
officials, legal advice and other<br />
closely held material.<br />
Mr Brownlee told the Herald<br />
he felt “frustration,” rejecting<br />
any suggestion his ill-aimed OIA<br />
request was placing pressure on<br />
the Office of the Ombudsman.<br />
“I appreciate the importance of<br />
the OIA in a democracy,” he said.<br />
He said there was a lack of<br />
certainty around when information<br />
should be withheld from<br />
public release in cases of “free<br />
and frank advice” from officials<br />
- withheld so as to promote open<br />
advice to ministers – or commercial<br />
information, which was<br />
also considered sensitive.<br />
He said he accepted everything<br />
that was done in government<br />
would be made public<br />
eventually - but some information<br />
needed to operate under<br />
a cloak to be most effective for<br />
citizens.<br />
Auckland University of Technology<br />
lecturer Greg Treadwell,<br />
who has carried out doctoral<br />
research on the OIA, viewed Mr<br />
Brownlee’s letter to the Office<br />
of the Ombudsman and asked:<br />
“What’s he doing?”<br />
At first glance, he said it<br />
appeared Mr Brownlee didn’t<br />
know basic OIA principles even<br />
though he was approaching the<br />
end of a third term as Cabinet<br />
minister.<br />
“This is why I think it is a<br />
deliberate shot across the bows.<br />
He appears to be angry with the<br />
Ombudsman’s [EQC] decision<br />
and that seems almost inappropriate<br />
to start demanding voluminous<br />
amounts of information.<br />
That’s not quite ministerial<br />
behaviour.”<br />
Labour’s Megan Woods, who<br />
speaks on Canterbury issues,<br />
said during Mr Brownlee’s<br />
period as Minister for the EQC,<br />
people in Christchurch had<br />
resorted to using the OIA to get<br />
updates on their claims over<br />
earthquake damage.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> ability to do that was<br />
hugely important to people.”<br />

CCTV<br />
cameras<br />
for Woolston<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
STREET surveillance cameras<br />
have gone up on Ferry Rd in an<br />
attempt to thwart robberies in the<br />
Woolston Village.<br />
Last week, city council installed<br />
two sets of CCTV cameras on<br />
traffic lights outside Cycle Around<br />
Again and the Woolston Tavern<br />
to help monitor the road and protect<br />
Woolston Village shops.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Woolston Discounter has<br />
been a frequent target over the<br />
past year with nine robberies taking<br />
place in seven months.<br />
It was hit again on Sunday<br />
when a man armed with a pistol<br />
attempted to take cigarettes and<br />
lollies but dropped most of the<br />
items on the way out of the store.<br />
Store owner Sujan Barra said he<br />
had not been told of the surveillance<br />
cameras but hoped they<br />
would prevent his shop from being<br />
a frequent target.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ferry Rd Night ‘n Day store<br />
has also been a target, having<br />
been robbed 10 times in the past<br />
nine months.<br />
Owner of the convenience store<br />
David Lee said with the cameras<br />
installed he “certainly feels safer.”<br />

Missing man: Police still tight-lipped<br />
• By Kurt Bayer<br />
POLICE ARE remaining tightlipped<br />
over their investigation<br />
into the out-of-character<br />
disappearance of builder Michael<br />
Craig McGrath.<br />
Mr McGrath, 49, was last<br />
seen at his Checketts Ave home,<br />
Halswell, on May 21.<br />
A large police investigation is<br />
under way to<br />
find him.<br />
Yesterday<br />
morning,<br />
detectives<br />
showed Mr<br />
Michael<br />
McGrath<br />
McGrath’s<br />
family, including<br />
his mother,<br />
Adrienne, and brother Simon,<br />
through his deserted home.<br />
Police have spent several days<br />
examining the property, but<br />
by yesterday an army-style tent<br />
used to store evidence had been<br />
removed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> house remained taped off,<br />
with a mobile police base, a security<br />
guard and two unmarked<br />
police cars parked on the street.<br />
Police started knocking his<br />
neighbours’ doors last Thursday<br />
and remained in the area yesterday.<br />
Approached for an update into<br />
MYSTERY: Police at Mr McGrath’s Halswell property.<br />
the probe, a police spokeswoman<br />
would only say: “<strong>The</strong> missing<br />
person investigation continues.<br />
No further updates at this stage.”<br />
His brother Simon says while<br />
there will “obviously going to<br />
be all sorts of theories” about<br />
the disappearance, the family is<br />
focusing on any sightings of him<br />
or his blue 1994 Subaru Legacy<br />
station wagon.<br />
In a Facebook plea for information,<br />
Simon said: “Very unlike<br />
him to go walking – has never<br />
done so before and he has been<br />
in good spirits.”<br />
He also wrote that the family<br />
was “up and down.”<br />
“At this stage, all we can<br />
mainly do is hope.”<br />
Simon McGrath referred other<br />
inquiries to police.<br />
Detective Inspector Darryl<br />
Sweeney, who is leading the<br />
investigation, said police “have<br />
concerns for his welfare”.<br />
It remains a missing persons<br />
investigation, police say.<br />
Missing person posters have<br />
been placed around the area.<br />
On Friday, police cordoned off<br />
his well-kept red brick property<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
where he lived alone. Locals say<br />
there has been a lot of police<br />
activity over the past four days.<br />
One neighbour said police<br />
came to her last Thursday wanting<br />
to eliminate her silver car<br />
from their inquiries.<br />
“It’s really strange. It has us all<br />
worried,” she said.<br />
Mr McGrath’s blue station<br />
wagon was taken away from his<br />
property – just a few doors down<br />
from where “Black Widow”<br />
Helen Milner fatally poisoned<br />
Phil Nisbet in May 2009 – at the<br />
weekend.<br />
Detective Inspector Sweeney<br />
is appealing for sightings of the<br />
Subaru over the weekend of May<br />
20-22 in the Halswell area.<br />
Neighbours have described<br />
Mr McGrath as a quiet man who<br />
rarely had visitors.<br />
“We hardly see him,” one<br />
neighbour said.<br />
“My kids say ‘hi’ to him when<br />
he’s out gardening and when he<br />
was out biking which he did a lot.”<br />
She said everyone was “really<br />
worried”, especially at the<br />
mounting police activity.<br />
A local shopkeeper said Mr<br />
McGrath came in occasionally<br />
– but again said he was a very<br />
quiet, solitary figure.<br />
She also had concerns for his<br />
welfare.<br />
“It’s just fingers crossed really,”<br />
she said.<br />
•Anyone who has<br />
information about Mr<br />
McGrath or has employed<br />
him in the past few weeks is<br />
asked to phone Christchurch<br />
police on 03 363 7400<br />

Thou shall not steal<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
PEOPLE ATTENDING church<br />
during the evening have been<br />
coming out to find their cars<br />
broken into, with one parishioner<br />
losing $5000.<br />
Cars parked at St Teresa of<br />
Lisieux Parish on Puriri St,<br />
Riccarton, and Our Lady of<br />
Victories Parish on Main South<br />
Rd, Sockburn, have been targeted<br />
on Saturday and Sunday nights<br />
in recent weeks while the owners<br />
attended mass.<br />
St Teresa priest Father Antoine<br />
Thomas said little things like<br />
passports and bags had been taken<br />
from cars. A woman returned<br />
to her car a few months ago to<br />
find it had been broken into and<br />
$5000 missing.<br />
Father Antoine said he did not<br />
know why the woman had $5000<br />
in her vehicle.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re must be a really wellorganised<br />
gang getting around.<br />
We have installed more lighting,<br />
spoken with community watch<br />
and asked for volunteers to patrol<br />
the car park,” he said.<br />
Sixty-four cars were broken into<br />
last week in the Riccarton, Upper<br />
Riccarton and Sockburn areas.<br />
Two cars were stolen and another<br />
four attempts had been made to<br />
steal other cars after the owners<br />
discovered the ignition barrels<br />
had been forced, police said.<br />
Majority of the cars were targeted<br />
on Centennial Ave, Rattray<br />
St, Matipo St, Mandeville St and<br />
Brockworth Pl, with 20 broken<br />
into on Saturday night alone.<br />
It comes after about 12 vehicles<br />
were broken into around the<br />
Three Elements Chinese Restaurant<br />
and the New Zealand<br />
Institute of Sport’s Christchurch<br />
campus car park on Wharenui<br />
Rd, Upper Riccarton, a week<br />

Thomas of<br />
St Teresa<br />
of Lisieux,<br />
Riccarton, is<br />
disappointed<br />
that cars are<br />
being stolen<br />
from the car<br />
park.<br />
earlier.<br />
Said Senior Sergeant Pete Stills:<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se thefts are a pain in the<br />
proverbial to the owners as there<br />
is very little taken normally, but<br />
the clean-up cost is often timeconsuming<br />
and costly.’’<br />

wife, 73-year-old Maureen<br />
Imrie.<br />
Bruce Imrie was driving<br />
home with his wife in the<br />
afternoon on March 25 when<br />
he crashed.<br />
Witnesses saw the car drive<br />
straight off the road, crashing<br />
through a barrier and down a<br />
bank into the sea.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were able to pull Mr<br />
Imrie out of the car, but the<br />
car was swept away to sea by<br />
an undertow before they were<br />
able to rescue Mrs Imrie.<br />
A police spokeswoman<br />
said the investigation into the<br />
crash was still ongoing. She<br />
would not say if police were<br />
considering laying charges.<br />
It comes as West Coast man<br />
Michael Saunders is facing<br />
charges over the death of his<br />
two-year-old daughter, Emily,<br />

death over the crash which<br />
killed his wife, Mon Chhetri,<br />
and baby son, Aaron Chhetri.<br />
He had been driving the<br />
family home to Christchurch,<br />
and pulled out in front of<br />
another car at an intersection.<br />
Mr Imrie said he was not<br />
worried by the investigation,<br />
but just hoped it would be<br />
completed soon.<br />
He said he had told police<br />
all he could, but said he had<br />
“blanked out” before the<br />
crash.<br />
He was still struggling with<br />
the loss of his wife of 55 years,<br />
but was being supported by<br />
his family, he said.<br />

Manson family Canty’s best kept secret<br />
Pioneers<br />
overcome<br />
adversity<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />
.kiwi<br />
Thursday <strong>June</strong> 1 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
SHIPWRECKS, AN armed<br />
robbery, and a baby born at<br />
sea – they were just some of the<br />
challenges one of Christchurch’s<br />
first pioneering families faced,<br />
yet their names are barely<br />
remembered.<br />
Samuel and Jean Manson<br />
and their children arrived<br />
in Lyttelton with the Deans<br />
brothers in 1843, years before the<br />
First Four Ships arrived in 1850.<br />
But while the Deans family<br />
is widely honoured for their<br />
pioneering work, the Manson<br />
family, and the other settlers<br />
with them, the Gebbie family,<br />
are not well known.<br />
Yesterday, descendants of<br />
the Manson family gathered at<br />
Deans Bush to honour them,<br />
placing a memorial plaque and<br />
planting an oak tree dedicated to<br />
them.<br />
A great-grandaughter of<br />
Mr and Mrs Manson, Janet<br />
O’Loughlin, has gathered a lot of<br />
the family’s history in a book.<br />
She said they had some<br />
incredible adventures.<br />
Mr Manson, a carpenter, made<br />
the four-month journey from<br />
Scotland to work for the Deans,<br />
travelling with his heavily<br />
pregnant wife and two young<br />
children.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir baby was born two weeks<br />
into the voyage, delivered by the<br />
ship doctor – and meanwhile<br />
their three-year-old daughter<br />
caught measles and their twoyear-old<br />
son had to be treated for<br />
a bad cough.<br />
While wealthier families such<br />
as the Deans stayed in cabins,<br />
the Mason family were in<br />
cramped berths below deck, Mrs<br />
O’Loughlin said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> migrant sailing ships<br />
were set low in the water, their<br />
decks constantly being swept by<br />
heavy seas which leaked onto<br />
the berths below deck, making<br />

and built on thousands of acres around Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.<br />

them damp and unpleasant and<br />
causing hordes of cockroaches to<br />
emerge from their hiding places,”<br />
she said in the book, Mindful of<br />
My Origin.<br />
According to the ship records,<br />
there were 40 cases of measles<br />
and some of whooping cough<br />
during the 150-day voyage, and<br />
two children died during the<br />
journey.<br />
But the Manson family<br />
survived and made it safely<br />
to Nelson. From there they<br />
travelled with the Deans<br />
brothers and Gebbie family<br />
to Wellington, and then to a<br />
whalers’ settlement at Port<br />
Levy.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y travelled by boat up the<br />
Avon River to Riccarton, where<br />
Mr Manson built two homes for<br />
the families, using wooden pegs<br />
because their nails had been left<br />
behind.<br />
While in Scotland the Manson<br />
and Gebbie families would have<br />
been classed servants of the<br />
Deans, in the new settlement<br />
they lived and worked together,<br />
Mrs O’Loughlin said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y all pitched in together,<br />
I don’t think there was any<br />
hierarchy there. <strong>The</strong> Deans,<br />
being lawyers, were very helpful<br />
when the Mansons and Gebbies<br />
were buying their own land. So<br />
they had to rely on one another<br />
to survive,” she said.<br />
After helping to build and<br />
establish the Deans settlement,<br />
Mr Manson and Mr Gebbie<br />
negotiated with local Maori to<br />
lease land on the other side of<br />
the hills between Governors Bay<br />
and Charteris Bay, and they also<br />
brought 14 cows each from the<br />
Deans brothers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y set off to their new home<br />
in 1845 in canoes, but halfway<br />
there a storm came up and<br />
capsized the boat. <strong>The</strong> families<br />
survived, but lost a lot of their<br />
provisions and spent a cold night<br />
sheltering in a cave.<br />
Mrs Manson was again heavily<br />
pregnant at the time, and gave<br />
birth to their fifth child later that<br />
month, while the family were<br />
living in a tent.<br />
After a year’s work establishing<br />
their farm, they had stored up<br />
700 pounds of butter and 300<br />
pounds of cheese ready to sell.<br />
But they were hit by another<br />
disaster at sea.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ship taking all their<br />
produce to sell at the port sunk<br />
during the journey, and they lost<br />
everything.<br />
After the disaster Mr Manson<br />
began working for other settlers<br />
to make money, leaving Mrs<br />
Manson alone to manage the<br />
milking, the running of the farm<br />
and their five children, all under<br />
six-years-old.<br />
Later the same year, three men<br />
from the Blue Cap Gang arrived<br />
at the settlement claiming to be<br />
shipwrecked sailors.<br />
DESCENDANTS:<br />

family gathered<br />

HUNTER<br />
Mrs Manson gave them food<br />
and beds for the night, and<br />
directed them to the nearby<br />
Greenwood mill to find work.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Greenwood family also<br />
took the men in and gave them<br />
work, but when everyone was<br />
gathered for the evening meal<br />
that night the gang held up<br />
the household at gunpoint,<br />
stealing their money, guns and<br />
matches.<br />
<strong>The</strong> men were later arrested,<br />
but after the experience several<br />
Maori men stayed on the farm<br />
with Mrs Manson to protect the<br />
family while Mr Manson was<br />
away for work.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family’s luck eventually<br />
turned, and they went on to buy<br />
and farm more than 30 land<br />
plots in Banks Peninsula.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y had 17 children over 24<br />
years, and their descendents<br />
made a huge contribution to<br />
the developing colony, Mrs<br />
O’Loughlin said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family’s stone cottage at<br />
Orton Bradley Park is now the<br />
oldest surviving stone building<br />
in Canterbury. It was badly<br />
damaged in the 2<strong>01</strong>0 and 2<strong>01</strong>1<br />
earthquakes but is being rebuilt,<br />
and is set to open as a museum<br />
and information centre.<br />
Three oak trees were originally<br />
planted in August 1994<br />
commemorating the Deans,<br />
Gebbie and Manson families’<br />
work, but the Manson tree had to<br />
be cut down in April.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new tree was planted in its<br />
place.<br />
Darfield water judged the best in New Zealand<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
DARFIELD HAS the<br />
best-tasting drinking water in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
A blind taste test at the<br />
New Zealand Water Industry<br />
Operators Group conference<br />
decided the township has the<br />
tastiest water.<br />
It comes after a major<br />
upgrade to the Darfield water<br />
supply in 2<strong>01</strong>4 with the installation<br />
of two deep ground<br />
bores, a 1000m3 concrete reservoir<br />
and a booster pumping<br />
station.<br />
A district council spokeswoman<br />
said the bores source<br />
the artesian water from deep<br />
underground meaning the<br />
water is naturally filtered providing<br />
a safe supply.<br />
Mayor Sam Broughton, who<br />
lives in Darfield, said it was<br />
nice to celebrate some good<br />
news after the improvements<br />
were made.<br />
He said the two bores provide<br />
an increase in reliability<br />
over the summer and if work<br />
needed to be done on either of<br />
the bores the supply will still be<br />
continuous.<br />
“I do enjoy the taste of water.<br />
It’s fresh,” Mr Broughton said.<br />
Darfield Community Committee<br />
chairman and Malvern<br />
Butchery owner Paddy McKay<br />
said the water quality speaks<br />
for itself and it is pretty good.<br />
<strong>The</strong> judging panel made up<br />
of representatives from the<br />
WIOG, chemical company<br />
IXOM and Altitude Brewing<br />
decided Darfield had the besttasting<br />
water based on how it<br />
looks, smells and tastes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> improved quality is a<br />
large turn-around in the township’s<br />
water supply.<br />
In 2<strong>01</strong>2, animal effluent in<br />
Darfield’s water supply was<br />
the cause of a gastroenteritis<br />
outbreak affecting more than<br />
110 people.

Doing their bit for the rebuild<br />
.kiwi<br />
<strong>The</strong> Brown family has<br />
been in the grocery<br />
industry for 145<br />
years – and in August<br />
they will open their<br />
newest supermarket,<br />
FreshChoice City<br />
Market. Bridget<br />
Rutherford reports<br />
FOR THE Browns, the grocery<br />
industry is a family business.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have been providing<br />
Cantabrians with fresh produce,<br />
food and bakery supplies for 145<br />
years.<br />
And come August, they<br />
will open their newest store,<br />
FreshChoice City Market, in <strong>The</strong><br />
Crossing on Lichfield St.<br />
It wasn’t a decision Neville and<br />
Heather Brown made lightly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city was suffering following<br />
the devastating February 22,<br />
2<strong>01</strong>1, earthquake.<br />
Heather said they wanted to do<br />
their part in its regeneration.<br />
“For us it was about the CBD<br />
and what we could do to contribute<br />
to the rebuild with what we<br />
know how to do.<br />
“We understand that supermarkets<br />
are part of essential<br />
services and are important in<br />
building communities. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
pivotal points for people to meet<br />
and feel comfortable. We want<br />
people to feel at home and they<br />
are part of our business. Everything<br />
we do, we do with them at<br />
the top of our mind.”<br />
She said their family was committed<br />
to Christchurch.<br />
“A supermarket in the CBD<br />
was a way Neville and I thought<br />
we could help the city regenerate<br />
and bring back a sense of normality.”<br />
It hasn’t been a quick process.<br />
Heather said they first approached<br />
the Carter Group in<br />
2<strong>01</strong>2 about including a supermarket<br />
in the CBD, and it had been<br />
a huge job trying to bring it to<br />
fruition.<br />
Although FreshChoice City<br />
COMMITTED: Neville and Heather Brown say they wanted to help regenerate the city centre<br />
following the February 22, 2<strong>01</strong>1, earthquake in the way they knew how – opening FreshChoice<br />
City Market.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Market has taken about five years<br />
to develop, the family journey<br />
began in 1872.<br />
It was then when Neville’s<br />
great, great, great grandparents<br />
Charlie and Annie Chivers<br />
opened the Otipua General Store<br />
near Timaru.<br />
In the 1930s, his great uncle,<br />
John Renfrew Brown, owned<br />
a bakery and delivery truck in<br />
Dunedin.<br />
Neville bought his first supermarket<br />
at the age of 22 in 1972.<br />
In total, the Browns have<br />
owned seven supermarkets<br />
across South Canterbury and<br />
Canterbury.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have owned FreshChoice<br />
Barrington since 1993.<br />
But the tradition doesn’t stop<br />
there.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Brown’s three sons grew up<br />
working in their supermarkets<br />
during school holidays and spent<br />
a lot of time in them.<br />
After going overseas and taking<br />
different career paths, they all<br />
decided to come back and go into<br />
the same business.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir eldest, Julian and his<br />
wife Kirsty, bought FreshChoice<br />
Parklands in 2005.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir middle son, Nick, owns<br />
FAMILY<br />
BUSINESS:<br />
Neville Brown’s<br />
great uncle,<br />
John Renfrew<br />
Brown, owned<br />
a bakery and<br />
delivery truck in<br />
Dunedin during<br />
the 1930s.<br />
SuperValue Sumner and <strong>The</strong><br />
Bottle-O Sumner, and is supported<br />
by his wife Anna.<br />
And their youngest, Scot and<br />
wife Jenna, own private beer<br />
and wine labels, including Black<br />
Thistle Wines and Boss Brewing<br />
Craft Beers.<br />
Scot also works in his parents’<br />
businesses.<br />
Neville and Heather are<br />
pleased to have all of their sons in<br />
the industry.<br />
“It’s a very exciting business<br />
to be in, it’s constantly changing<br />
and challenging,” Heather said.<br />
Neville has been in the business<br />
for 51 years, while Heather<br />
had marked just under 30.<br />
But they say they could not<br />
continue to do it without their<br />
customers and loyal, hardworking<br />
and skilled staff.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> attention to detail that’s<br />
required to get everything right,<br />
every day, is probably the biggest<br />
challenge.”<br />
Heather said they had a great<br />
team of people around them.<br />
“Over the years you built loyalty,<br />
you build skill and you build<br />
a culture. You couldn’t do it without<br />
the expertise, the loyalty and<br />
the hard work of a lot of people.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are why this business is so<br />
stimulating and rewarding.”<br />
Although the family has been<br />
in the industry for more than a<br />
century – they are moving with<br />
the times.<br />
Heather said they spent a lot<br />
of time overseas looking at what<br />
they could do differently with<br />
FreshChoice City Market, and<br />
what was required in the new era<br />
with the rebuild.<br />
“That’s why we wanted to do<br />
something slightly different<br />
than the traditional format.<br />
FreshChoice City Market would<br />
expand on the fresh, artisan,<br />
locally-produced and grown<br />
products highlighting and<br />
showcasing some of Canterbury’s<br />
finest food specialists,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> supermarket will also be<br />
providing a full range of everyday<br />
groceries.”<br />
It would also have a convenient<br />
espresso bar at the entrance to<br />
the store for people wanting a<br />
quick caffeine shot on the run,<br />
she said.<br />
“We will be providing a onestop<br />
full service range of the best<br />
products at the best prices for<br />
busy people working in the city,<br />
for shoppers, and tourists.<br />
“FreshChoice City Market will<br />
be part of your day, every day.”<br />

Cathedral solution sought<br />
CHRIST CHURCH Cathedral<br />
is once again at the centre of<br />
much — often heated — debate.<br />
Its future is a heritage issue, a<br />
community issue and a church<br />
issue but it is not a political issue.<br />
With that in mind, I hosted<br />
a meeting of Christchurch<br />
Members of Parliament late<br />
last week to seek cross-party<br />
support for the Government’s<br />
commitment to brokering a<br />
solution.<br />
I firmly believe we need an<br />
agreed solution and we need<br />
it sooner rather than later.<br />
Agreement is vital because any<br />
decision that ties everyone up<br />
in court for five to 10 years is no<br />
decision at all.<br />
Immediately after the meeting<br />
I released the Cathedral Working<br />
Group Recommendation<br />
Report, which recommends<br />
reinstatement. It estimates the<br />
cost at $105 million — to be<br />
funded by philanthropic and<br />
public donations, the church’s<br />
insurance proceeds and support<br />
from central and local government.<br />
About half of Christchurch<br />
wants to see the Cathedral<br />
reinstated, the other half wants<br />
something new and more<br />
modern, but everyone believes<br />
we need a decision as soon as<br />
possible.<br />
As a resident of Christchurch,<br />
I share the community’s frustration,<br />
and as Regeneration Minister,<br />
I’m committed to helping<br />
break the current deadlock.<br />
I will continue to work closely<br />
with the Anglican Church,<br />
the city council and other key<br />
stakeholders to discuss all possible<br />
solutions.<br />
Nicky Wagner<br />
Also late last week, Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel and I released<br />
the terms of reference for a<br />
pre-feasibility study into a new<br />
multi-use arena.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pre-feasibility study<br />
will consider the size, cost and<br />
viability of an arena, as well as<br />
opportunities for a wider ‘Arena<br />
Precinct’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> terms of reference<br />
include a number of important<br />
considerations, particularly<br />
around the operational and<br />
financial viability of the arena<br />
model.<br />
Any potential development<br />
will likely need to be a multiuse<br />
sports and entertainment<br />
venue to maximise opportunities<br />
for regional, national and<br />
international events.<br />
Christchurch Stadium Trust,<br />
which is undertaking the prefeasibility<br />
study, will report back<br />
by the end of July.<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Budget falls short<br />
BUDGET 2<strong>01</strong>7 was a<br />
let-down.<br />
National squandered<br />
the chance to rebuild<br />
our battered health and<br />
education systems and<br />
to address the housing<br />
crisis. Instead, they’ve gone for an<br />
election year Budget with an eye<br />
for the upcoming election, not the<br />
21 st century. It doesn’t have new<br />
thinking in it, it doesn’t show how<br />
our economy is going to create<br />
decent work with higher wages,<br />
and it doesn’t support Kiwis to<br />
get the knowledge and training<br />
opportunities to participate in the<br />
new economy.<br />
Instead, what we saw were the<br />
classic election sweeteners of<br />
tax cuts. In spite of the rhetoric,<br />
the reality is National’s package<br />
does not deliver for those most<br />
in need. While I’ll get a tax cut of<br />
around $20 per week, the person<br />
who cleans my Wellington office<br />
receives around $1 per week. This<br />
is neither right nor fair. Labour<br />
can’t support an approach that<br />
increases inequality.<br />
I know that for people in Wigram,<br />
any extra money gained<br />
through these tax cuts is an<br />
illusion. <strong>The</strong> extra money will be<br />
eaten up with the increased cost<br />
of visiting the GP that doctors<br />
warned about following Thursday’s<br />
Budget. <strong>The</strong>y will also have<br />
to continue to dip deeper into<br />
their pockets to help out the local<br />
school as there is an $80m shortfall<br />
in education funding.<br />
Tragically, there was nothing<br />
to release the pressure on our<br />
cash-strapped Canterbury District<br />
Health Board, which is struggling<br />
to balance the broader health<br />
needs of the city with the specific<br />
mental health crisis. Currently, the<br />
CBHB is operating on a deficit of<br />
$45.27 million – and this funding<br />
increase of $39.68 million doesn’t<br />
cover it.<br />
What we need are some fresh<br />
ideas to make sure all New Zealanders<br />
receive their fair share of<br />
the prosperity. A Labour Government<br />
will invest in a health system<br />
that meets the need of our growing<br />
population. We will invest in<br />
an education system that prepares<br />
people for the 21st century. We<br />
will clean up our rivers and make<br />
the Kiwi dream of home-ownership<br />
a reality again.<br />

Last week <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
reported three of the<br />
city’s power brokers,<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel,<br />
Minister supporting<br />
Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Nicky<br />
Wagner and CDHB acting<br />
chief executive Mary<br />
Gordon had not talked<br />
about the possibility of<br />
turning part of Hagley<br />
Park into temporary car<br />
parking for the hospital<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
hospital car parking debacle<br />
Alan Hane – Build a large<br />
underground car park beneath<br />
Hagley Park fully security<br />
camera monitored, with an<br />
underground tunnel to the<br />
hospital basement floor. Could<br />
even have an autonomous rail<br />
loops or moving floors like<br />
airports.<br />
Cheryl Hanham – Actually<br />
stop allowing Wilsons car park<br />
to monopolies empty grounds.<br />
Get them back and put a couple<br />
of car park buildings up instead.<br />
Have look at the app ParkMate,<br />
it’s unbelievable how many<br />
Wilsons there are.<br />
Rohanne Compton – Have<br />
the people who support this<br />
thought about the logistics of<br />
getting in and out of this part of<br />
the park? <strong>The</strong>n getting across to<br />
the hospital if you’re disabled?<br />
Also bet the support disappears<br />
once they realise it won’t be free<br />
parking.<br />
Rohanne Compton –<br />
Maybe they need to reintroduce<br />
parking charges at the hospital.<br />
I’ve seen people parking at the<br />
hospital using the disabled<br />
parking and have noticed that<br />
many are actually very able<br />
bodied people accompanying<br />
a disabled/elderly person and<br />
wondered why they don’t drop<br />
off the patient then use the park<br />
’n’ ride or the nearby Wilsons<br />
parks and leave the disabled<br />
parking for the unaccompanied<br />
patients/visitors who really<br />
do need to park close. Is it<br />
because the disabled parking is<br />
free?<br />
Elizabeth Lubbers – Build<br />
one beside the outpatients building<br />
in the park if there is enough<br />
room, no one uses that area. And<br />
when or if the outpatients building<br />
goes turn it into car parks<br />
for the disabled and expecting<br />
mums that are coming in to give<br />
birth.<br />
Michael Adams – Just<br />
stop pretending, and rename it<br />
Wilsontown. <strong>The</strong>n demolish the<br />
Cathedral and put a Wilsons on<br />
the site. This city is crazy.<br />
Deb Flanagan – No way. It’s<br />
a park leave it alone, where is the<br />
vision. New Yorkers don’t suggest<br />
turning its precious green space<br />
Central Park into a car park. And<br />
let’s be honest temporary would<br />
end up being permanent – once<br />
lost gone forever.<br />
Sally Bowring – After the<br />
earthquakes there was something<br />
put in place so people could park<br />
along Riccarton Ave on the grass.<br />
Were emergency powers called<br />
upon for this? And , if so, could<br />
they be again until a permanent<br />
solution is found. Sadly, and<br />
actually very sadly the various<br />
bodies involved can’t seem to be<br />
able to work together. Is this a<br />
case for a Mediator?<br />
Beverley Murray – Just do<br />
it. How many people will struggle<br />
to the doors until there is a<br />
permanent remedy. Ridiculous<br />
state of affairs.<br />
Nic Davies – Yes 100 per cent<br />
agree let’s get something done<br />
and built.<br />
Tina Bailey – Absolutely<br />
not. Sort out a permanent solution<br />
asap. Car parking building<br />
should be rebuilt on previous site<br />
opposite the new outpatients site.<br />
Where has the insurance money<br />
gone from the old parking and<br />
oral health buildings that have<br />
been demolished?<br />

Design statement<br />
Fireplaces are a key architectural design element to the home<br />
and are often the focal point of a room. Gone are the decorative<br />
mantels and in their place are bold design statements with angular<br />
corners and modern shapes. We love <strong>The</strong> Hanging Fireplace – a<br />
sculptural piece that is as much an investment in art as a solution<br />
to warmth during the winter months.<br />

Well-known tailor Mark van<br />
Roosmalen’s building was<br />
destroyed in the February 22,<br />
2<strong>01</strong>1, earthquake and moved<br />
his business into a house on<br />
a Fendalton street – but his<br />
neighbours want him gone<br />
Dani Cooper – What is<br />
wrong with these people? He’s in<br />
a business area anyway and he’s<br />
a tailor! I also think the fuss over<br />
the funeral home [Rochdale St]<br />
is disrespectful selfish and rude.<br />
Seriously, I would much rather live<br />
in my rented home in North Beach<br />
than be a stuck up self-absorbed<br />
homeowner from Fendalton. All<br />
they do is complain.<br />
Allan John Fidler – I fully<br />
sympathise with the residents<br />
of Hamilton Ave and Otara St.<br />
Fancy having to live with the<br />
deafening sound of scissors and<br />
the screeching of needle and<br />
thread going through cloth. Back<br />
in the 1960s Fendaltonians were<br />
reputed to be NZ’s worst snobs and<br />
obviously nothing has changed.<br />
Owen Duffy – I don’t know<br />
what is worse, these people trying<br />
to close a business down. Or them<br />
buying a property in Ilam and<br />
trying to say they are in Fendalton.<br />
Snobbery at its worst.<br />
Corey Humm – Typical<br />
Fendalton. Guess they asked him<br />
what school he went to and didn’t<br />
like the answer.<br />
Erina Parks – Far out, it’s a<br />
tailoring business, for goodness<br />
sake! You people have got no<br />
show of making him leave – after<br />
all Manchester St residents can’t<br />
get the city council to act on the<br />
prostitutes leaving their rubbish<br />
in residents’ front gardens. You<br />
neighbours should be ashamed of<br />
yourselves – you’re surrounded by<br />
commercial activity. This smells of<br />
personal vendetta.<br />
Val Proffitt – As I was trying<br />
to say . . . Fendalton people, how<br />
about starting to live in the real<br />
world. Good on you Mark van<br />
Roosmalen, I hope your business<br />
remains very successful.<br />
Stella Wyn – I wonder what<br />
is wrong with Hamilton Ave area.<br />
Two to three years back houses<br />
were hot in auction, but past few<br />
months, they are not popular.<br />
I’m puzzled. Fendalton Village<br />
is always too crowded with cars.<br />
Anyway, it is probably better to<br />
have him than student rental next<br />
door.<br />
Josie White – I operate an<br />
interior design business from home<br />
in St Martins with legal street<br />
signage. Not once has anyone<br />
complained. Give Mark a break<br />
please Fendalton and be thankful<br />
you have an amazing tailor in your<br />
vicinity.<br />
Helen Baker – <strong>The</strong> people of<br />
Fendalton are lucky to have such a<br />
service in the area. It doesn’t set a<br />
precedence at all under the terms of<br />
the quakes effect on business in the<br />
city. It was a unique situation that<br />
enabled this. How precious people<br />
can be.<br />
Cherry Cornelius – I find<br />
it almost as offensive that this<br />
rubbish is reported. Residents of<br />
any area need to we welcoming<br />
stop any kind of abuse at its roots<br />
and it seems in Christchurch.<br />
It may have a deep seating in<br />
Fendalton.<br />
Cherie Trotter – Nearly every<br />
suburb in NZ has a dressmaker/<br />
alterations person working out of<br />
their spare bedroom of their home.<br />
Come on neighbours, get on with<br />
your life.<br />
Janys Rebecca Harrison –<br />
Get over yourselves! Just be<br />
glad that he’s a tailor, instead of<br />
someone dodgy.<br />
Carolyn Fraser – What a<br />
bunch of snobs. Who do they think<br />
they are? <strong>The</strong>y would look down<br />
their noses at any one. Keep up the<br />
good work Mark van Roosemalen.<br />
Francesca De Angelis –<br />
Mark is by far the best – and only<br />
true tailor in Christchurch. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
people have clearly too much time<br />
in their hands to complain for the<br />
sake of complaining. Don’t buy a<br />
house in front of a mall if parking<br />
overflow irritates you.

News<br />
From life with the Royals to healthcare<br />
• By Simon Collins<br />
WHEN SHE was caught in the<br />
grip of the February 22, 2<strong>01</strong>1,<br />
earthquake, Alex Steele was<br />
shocked into thinking about<br />
what she had done with her life.<br />
She decided to become a nurse.<br />
She had already done far more<br />
than most people dream of. She<br />
had managed several hundred<br />
staff at Buckingham Palace, and<br />
later forged a career in insurance.<br />
But as she ran down the stillshaking<br />
stairs of the cracked<br />
AMI Building six years ago, her<br />
life perspective changed.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> buildings to the side of us<br />
had fallen over,” she said.<br />
“I immediately looked over to<br />
where my husband’s building<br />
was. <strong>The</strong> CTV building was<br />
between us. It was on fire, all I<br />
could see was smoke and dust<br />
and I immediately thought it was<br />
his building.”<br />
It wasn’t, and the couple found<br />
each other in the chaos of Latimer<br />
Square before her husband<br />
realised that his scooter could be<br />
useful and started ferrying rescue<br />
workers where they needed to go.<br />
Alex took a long walk home to<br />
Ilam.<br />
“All the way home there<br />
was liquefaction and power<br />
lines coming down. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
RELIEVED: Alex Steele says nursing is what she is supposed<br />
to be doing with her life.<br />
PHOTO: DOUG SHERRING<br />
nowhere to run. I was thinking,<br />
‘This could be it,’” she said. Life<br />
could be over.<br />
“I had a colleague who was<br />
a volunteer ambulance officer.<br />
As soon as we came out of the<br />
building, he took off to the CTV<br />
building and worked till 3am<br />
pulling people out of the rubble.<br />
“I thought, I would have liked<br />
to help people in a better way<br />
than dealing with their insurance<br />
claims.<br />
“I thought, healthcare is really<br />
what I wanted to do, and that<br />
could have been my time, and<br />
how upset I would have been had<br />
I spent my life not pursuing what<br />
I wanted to be doing.”<br />
It is her second degree. Her<br />
first, from Canterbury University,<br />
was in English and history,<br />
and she walked straight out of<br />
that into her “first grown-up job”<br />
at Buckingham Palace. She was<br />
22, freshly arrived on her OE.<br />
“I saw it advertised and applied.<br />
I thought even if I don’t<br />
get it, just going for the interview<br />
will be an amazing experience,”<br />
she said.<br />
She was hired as one of four<br />
people managing 450 to 500 tour<br />
guides, wardens and other staff<br />
for Royal Collection Enterprises<br />
– the palace’s “business arm.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> job involved recruiting<br />
and training staff and organising<br />
events such as charity fundraisers,<br />
often attended by the royals.<br />
HOME: Alex has made the trek from Buckingham Palace to<br />
Greenlane’s Mercy Ascot Hospital.<br />
“I’ve met all the royal family.<br />
If there were charities that they<br />
were patrons of they would be<br />
there, or sometimes you would<br />
meet the more junior royals in<br />
passing,” she said.<br />
“To meet the Queen, you<br />
would be invited to a reception<br />
or a cocktail party – they take<br />
really good care of their staff.<br />
“You got to go to the Queen’s<br />
box at the Royal Albert Hall, and<br />
tickets to Wimbledon, cocktail<br />
evenings with the Lord Chamberlain,<br />
all sorts of wonderful<br />
things.”<br />
But Alex had left her husband<br />
– then still her fiance – back in<br />
Christchurch, doing his doctorate.<br />
After three years at the<br />
palace, she came home.<br />
She got a job at AMI, rising to<br />
be its training and development<br />
manager. She and her husband<br />
both transferred within their<br />
companies to Auckland six<br />
months after the quake, and Alex<br />
kept working for AMI part-time<br />
right through her three-year<br />
nursing course.<br />
She is now working night<br />
shifts in a general surgical ward<br />
at Mercy Ascot Hospital at<br />
Greenlane.<br />
“I did have that nagging doubt<br />
about what if I get to my first<br />
clinical placement and find it’s<br />
not for me,” she said.<br />
“After my first day I thought,<br />
this is what I’m supposed to be<br />
doing. I was really relieved. I felt<br />
very strongly that this is what<br />
I should be doing with my life,<br />
and I kind of haven’t looked back<br />
from there.”<br />

Our People<br />
Pursuing a love of learning<br />
St Thomas of<br />
Canterbury College<br />
principal Christine<br />
O’Neill announced<br />
last week she would<br />
be stepping down at<br />
the end of the year,<br />
after 15 years at the<br />
school. She spoke<br />
with Gabrielle Stuart<br />

Before you, no other woman<br />
had ever become a principal of<br />
a New Zealand Catholic boys’<br />
school. Did you think back<br />
when you first applied for the<br />
job that you would get it?<br />
Well, it was really bizarre,<br />
actually. I’m from family of four<br />
sisters, I have three daughters,<br />
and before this I had taught<br />
for 10 years at Villa Maria, a<br />
girls’ school. I had taught a few<br />
St Thomas’ boys while I was at<br />
Villa, which is why I applied for<br />
it, but I don’t think I seriously<br />
thought I’d get it. But I got offered<br />
the job in December. So I<br />
spent the holidays stressing about<br />
it, thinking what do I know about<br />
boys?<br />
Was it as challenging as you<br />
expected?<br />
No, since I started here, I’ve<br />
never regretted it. <strong>The</strong>re have<br />
been challenges. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />
plenty of male candidates that<br />
applied for the job, and most of<br />
the teachers here are male. But<br />
I found very quickly that you<br />
proved yourself in your performance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> men here were very<br />
fair and very loyal.<br />
I imagine it’s been a pretty<br />
emotional few weeks since you<br />
made the announcement you<br />
would be stepping down – what<br />
has it been like?<br />
Well, we had another lovely<br />
assembly this morning, with the<br />
boys all singing, and after that I<br />
thought what have I done? I don’t<br />
regret it, but leaving is going to be<br />
really hard. For me been a really<br />
hard decision because this is such<br />
a great community and I have<br />
dedicated a good part of my life<br />
to working here. But you know<br />
how people say you’re ready to<br />
go. <strong>The</strong> job is very complex and<br />
challenging and energy-draining.<br />
It’s like John Key said – not that<br />
I’m comparing myself to him, but<br />
I think the motivation is similar.<br />
<strong>The</strong> school is absolutely humming<br />
right now, and it’s time for<br />
another leader to step up.<br />
What have been some of the<br />
highlights?<br />
I’m really proud of the increased<br />
diversity in the school.<br />
When I started it was about<br />
two per cent Maori and Pasifika<br />
students, but now it’s about 40<br />
per cent, with a rapidly growing<br />
Filipino community.<br />
Another real highlight is that<br />
this year 39 of our 41 staff have<br />
either completed or are completed<br />
post-grad study. It’s a big<br />
commitment and I don’t know of<br />
any other school in the country<br />
that has that happening.<br />
We’ve also put a lot of work<br />
into creating a restorative culture,<br />
working with young men when<br />
they make mistakes, to take the<br />
fear and blame out of it, and keep<br />
them accountable but work in a<br />
problem-solving way. It’s about<br />
being accountable as a school beyond<br />
the school gate, rather than<br />
just kicking boys out.<br />
Without fail, every boy who<br />
has gone himself into a tricky<br />
situation here has been honest and<br />
willing to take responsibility for<br />
it, and that’s right to even the boys<br />
who have been in and out of jail.<br />
To see boys like that turn around<br />
and graduate year 13 is incredibly<br />
satisfying, just as satisfying as<br />
seeing boys reach the pinnacle of<br />
academic achievement.<br />
What have been the biggest<br />
challenges for you?<br />
Last year there was the big<br />
battle around racism (When a<br />
Christ’s College under-14 rugby<br />
player was accused of racially<br />
abusing a St Thomas’ student at<br />
a game). It’s hard to take those<br />
stands, but I think that’s one<br />
particular incident where you’ve<br />
got to honour your community.<br />
It would be easy to let it slide, but<br />
that would be wrong. And we’re<br />
richer for standing up to it.<br />
You’ve faced personal challenges<br />
while principal – like<br />
your battle with cancer. How<br />
did you handle that while doing<br />
such a demanding job?<br />
It was a really hard time, but<br />
there were two things that got me<br />
through. I’m lucky to have really<br />
supportive husband and really<br />
rich family life, and without that<br />
it would be a really lonely existence.<br />
I also have a very strong<br />
leadership team, four men who<br />
work with me at the core of what<br />
we do here. We go through both<br />
our personal and professional<br />
journeys together, so that doesn’t<br />
mean we always agree, but that’s<br />
been a massive support. I don’t<br />
do my job alone.<br />
And if I’m ever feeling a bit<br />
down, because it can be a highly<br />
political job and you deal with<br />
all sorts of issues, but if I’m ever<br />
overwhelmed by that I just do<br />
something with the kids. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
so uplifting to be around. You do<br />
see negative stuff about teenagers<br />
in the news, but I have so much<br />
hope for the future because they<br />
are such a good group of kids.<br />
What were your own school<br />
days like?<br />
I attended St Dominic’s in<br />
Dunedin, where we were taught<br />
by Dominican nuns. It was such<br />
a paradox, because it was a semienclosed<br />
order but yet many of the<br />
nuns had doctorates or masters<br />
degrees. So they were giving<br />
lectures at the university, then zipping<br />
back to teach at the school.<br />
On the one hand nuns, but also<br />
highly educated, empowered, professional<br />
women. So I was given<br />
a very liberal education, taught<br />
to ask questions and challenge<br />
things, with no sense of constraint<br />
or having to obey religious rules.<br />
It was very different to most<br />
schools then, and in many ways<br />
closer to how we teach now.<br />
Did you get sent to the principal<br />
much yourself, as a child?<br />
I was a good girl at school. I<br />
was head girl and dux. But I can<br />
remember one nun, the music<br />
teacher in the priory, whose<br />
window looked out at the side<br />
entrance gate. Sometimes we’d<br />
try to slip out and get caught.<br />
Some girls snuck out for a smoke,<br />
and I didn’t smoke, but I did try<br />
to sneak out to get lunch.<br />
Why did you become a<br />
teacher?<br />
Well, I loved ancient language<br />
and classics. I really wanted<br />
to go into teaching because<br />
I loved learning. My first job<br />
was at Avonside Girls’, then<br />
I spent a year at Hillmorton<br />
High. Strangely enough, a lot of<br />
principals spent time teaching at<br />
Hillmorton, I don’t know what<br />
it is but the school seems to be a<br />
great place to learn leadership.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n I got pregnant with my<br />
first daughter, so I spent eight<br />
years out of the workforce until<br />
my girls were school age. <strong>The</strong>n I<br />
taught at Villa Maria.<br />
Did you ever teach your own<br />
girls in class? Were they allowed<br />
to call you mum?<br />
Oh, yes, that was hilarious. One<br />
used to call me mum, one used to<br />
call me Christine, and one used<br />
to awkwardly go “you there” she<br />
didn’t know what to say. So they<br />
each navigated it in their own<br />
way. But I taught them classics, so<br />
the three of us share a common<br />
love for classics and art, so that’s<br />
a really special connection. One<br />
now lives in Auckland, one in<br />
New York and one just back from<br />
London, in Melbourne, but we<br />
all talk regularly every week. My<br />
biggest achievement is not being<br />
principal, it’s my girls.<br />
Do you have any advice for<br />
other women going into maledominated<br />
roles?<br />
Well, I do think men underestimate<br />
how challenging it can be<br />
as a female leader or CEO going<br />
into a male-dominated workplace.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y tend to use very male<br />
ways to connect, like discussing<br />
sports or rubbing shoulders in a<br />
rugby game. But I think it’s about<br />
being yourself, building your<br />
competence and expertise, and<br />
building authentic relationships.<br />
So what is the next step<br />
for you? You aren’t leaving<br />
Christchurch?<br />
No, I’ll be in Christchurch at<br />
least for the immediate future.<br />
My husband manages Community<br />
Law Canterbury and he<br />
does some really interesting work<br />
there, and we have a new house<br />
in inner-city so we’re committed<br />
to see the regeneration of the city.<br />
I’m open to whatever comes my<br />
way, and this gives me six months<br />
do some exploration. I would love<br />
to still be engaged in the teaching<br />
world, but equally there may be<br />
opportunities in another field.<br />
I’m passionate about youth justice,<br />
and working with Maori and<br />
Pasifika students. So I’m open to<br />
whatever. I’ve got another career<br />
in me yet.

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
BROCCOLI, WALNUT AND<br />
COTTAGE CHEESE PIES<br />
Ingredients<br />
12 slices Bread<br />
1/2 cup (8 Tbsp) Butter, melted,<br />
or olive oil, for brushing<br />
2 Eggs<br />
6 Tbsp Cottage cheese<br />
3 Tbsp Walnuts, chopped<br />
½ cup Cheddar cheese, grated<br />
1 cup Broccoli, in small florets,<br />
steamed<br />
½ tsp Salt<br />
Directions<br />
Make bread cases by brushing<br />
one side of each slice of<br />
bread with some melted butter<br />
or oil and pressing. Buttered<br />
side down, put in to muffin pans<br />
(if using thick bread flatten the<br />
bread out a little with your hand<br />
or a rolling pin first).<br />
Bake at 170 deg C for 20<br />
minutes or until brown and very<br />
crisp. Take them out straight<br />
away and leave to cool on a cake<br />
rake to avoid going soggy. You<br />
can keep the bread cases in an<br />
airtight container for a few days<br />
if you are not making the pies<br />
straight away.<br />
Beat the eggs and mix through<br />
the walnuts, cheddar, steamed<br />
broccoli, salt and a good grind<br />
of pepper. Fold in the cottage<br />
cheese. You want to keep blobs of<br />
cottage cheese through the mix.<br />
Place the bread cases back in<br />
to the muffin pans and spoon in<br />
the mixture. Bake in a 180 deg C<br />
oven for 15 minutes or until set<br />
through.<br />
MEYER LEMON ICE CREAM<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup Cream<br />
⅓ cup Caster sugar<br />
1 Meyer lemon<br />
Directions<br />
Put all the cream, caster sugar<br />
and the very finely grated zest<br />
and juice of the lemon in a<br />
mixing bowl and whisk until<br />
mixed.<br />
Taste and add more lemon<br />
juice or sugar if needed. Whisk<br />
until the cream thickens but has<br />
not started to stiffen. Be careful<br />
not to over-whip. Pour into 4<br />
small dishes, cover with plastic<br />
wrap and freeze.<br />
SOUTHLAND SWEDE,<br />
ROASTED GARLIC ON<br />
POTATO DISCS<br />
Ingredients<br />
3 Swedes<br />
1 head Garlic<br />
3 Waxy potatoes<br />
1 Tbsp Oil to brush<br />
Directions<br />
Roast the garlic head whole<br />
and squeeze out the soft garlic<br />
puree.<br />
Peel the swedes, chop them<br />
into small pieces and cook them<br />
gently in milk until they are very<br />
tender.<br />
Cut some small waxy potatoes<br />
into discs (leave the skin on),<br />
brush them with oil and space<br />
them out on an oven tray.<br />
Roast them until they are just<br />
soft and nicely golden coloured.<br />
Drain the swedes (keep the<br />
poaching liquid) and puree them<br />
with the roasted garlic.<br />
Add enough of the poaching<br />
liquid to achieve a firm but<br />
smooth puree.<br />
Mound up a generous teaspoon<br />
of the mash on to each<br />
disc, season well with salt and<br />
pepper and top with parsley.<br />

Timing bulb flowering not an exact science<br />
• By Paul Hoek<br />
CAN BULB flowering be timed<br />
for special occasions?<br />
More often than not, this question<br />
is asked in relation to a wedding.<br />
And I can understand why<br />
– growing your own tulips, lilies<br />
or other bulbs would save money<br />
and look fantastic in bouquets or<br />
in the background of photos.<br />
Unfortunately, the timing of<br />
bulbs flowering is heavily reliant<br />
on nature. And, as Cyclones Cook<br />
and Debbie have recently reminded<br />
us, nature and weather can be<br />
fickle and hard to predict.<br />
So, the question of timing flowering<br />
for special occasions is one<br />
that is pretty well impossible for<br />
us to answer accurately.<br />
What I can do, is give you a bit<br />
more information about spring<br />
and summer flowering bulbs to<br />
help you decide whether or not<br />
it’s doable for your particular situation<br />
and region.<br />
Spring flowering bulbs<br />
In a nutshell, spring flowering<br />
bulbs (like tulips, hyacinths and<br />
daffodils) can’t just be planted<br />
later to make them flower later.<br />
Without any artificial chilling,<br />
these bulbs have to be planted in<br />
autumn (makes no difference at<br />
which point in autumn) as they<br />
require all the chilling that comes<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />
MAJESTIC: Summer bulbs such as gladioli and lilies don’t need cold weather to trigger flowering.<br />
with winter.<br />
Exactly when they flower will<br />
depend on how cold the winter is,<br />
how much rain there is, and how<br />
early or late spring comes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> only way to make spring<br />
bulbs flower later than normal is<br />
to plant them in pots and hold<br />
them in a chiller, progressively<br />
lowering the temperature from 9<br />
deg C to 0 deg C over a period of<br />
10 weeks.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n hold them at zero and<br />
take them from the chiller two<br />
to three weeks before you want<br />
them in full flower. This approach<br />
won’t work with unplanted bulbs.<br />
To make potted spring bulbs<br />
flower earlier, you can use the<br />
chilling method above and simply<br />
take them out early rather than<br />
late.<br />
But there’s only a small window<br />
in which you can make them<br />
flower earlier. Tulips can’t be<br />
chilled until late March because<br />
the immature buds inside the<br />
bulbs need to reach a certain<br />
development stage before they’re<br />
ready. And, they need to be chilled<br />
for a minimum of 12 weeks.<br />
So August would be the earliest<br />
you could get tulips to flower –<br />
around three to four weeks ahead<br />
of normal. For potted daffodils<br />
and hyacinths you can start chilling<br />
earlier, in early March, and<br />
have flowers in early July.<br />
You can also get unplanted<br />
bulbs to flower earlier. But instead<br />
of putting them in at 9 deg C, you<br />
can put them straight in at 4 deg<br />
C. Do this in late March and then<br />
plant them out in late May, they’ll<br />
flower at least a month earlier<br />
than normal.<br />
Summer flowering bulbs<br />
Summer flowering bulbs (like<br />
gladioli and lilies) are a little<br />
easier to manipulate into flowering<br />
earlier or later, as they don’t<br />
require a cold period to trigger<br />
their flowering.<br />
To make them flower earlier or<br />
later you can plant them earlier<br />
or later from July right up to<br />
Christmas – but only if you keep<br />
the bulbs in a good condition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> eventual difference in<br />
flowering time will not be as great<br />
as the variation in planting time<br />
from July to December. This is<br />
because the soil and growing<br />
conditions are cold in July to September,<br />
and bulbs planted at that<br />
.kiwi<br />
Thursday <strong>June</strong> 1 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />
time will progress much slower<br />
than bulbs planted in October or<br />
November.<br />
Likewise, bulbs planted in December<br />
will flower much quicker<br />
as they are doing all their growing<br />
in warm soil and summer temperatures.<br />
Nevertheless, planting<br />
from July to December will see<br />
a spread of flowering times over<br />
around two to three months.<br />
So, as you can see – forcing<br />
bulbs to flower for a set time or a<br />
special occasion is by no means<br />
an exact science. But if it’s still<br />
something you’re interested in, I<br />
leave you two questions to think<br />
about. Firstly, will it ruin the big<br />
day if the bulbs haven’t flowered<br />
yet, or are already past their best?<br />
And secondly, is it worth the risk?<br />

QUAINT: Fantasy meets reality at Middle Earth.<br />
SNUG: Have an ale at the Green Dragon Inn.<br />
Hobbiton casts you under a spell<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
MATAMATA’S lush emerald<br />
pastures and roly-poly hills are<br />
happily home to Hobbiton, the<br />
ultimate cinematic shrine for<br />
set-jetters in New Zealand.<br />
Like a third of all visitors, I have<br />
never watched or read an entire<br />
story or movie, from either trilogy.<br />
But for starry-eyed Tolkien<br />
junkies, a journey here has acquired<br />
the stature of a pilgrimage.<br />
To reach the movie set entails<br />
a short drive by bus across the<br />
Alexander family’s farmland on<br />
a private sealed road, which was<br />
built by the New Zealand Army<br />
to service the convoy of crew production<br />
vehicles and equipment.<br />
Sir Peter Jackson sweet-talked the<br />
then Prime Minister, Helen Clark,<br />
to approve the road’s construction.<br />
Alighting from the bus, the<br />
bright green grass is long and lush<br />
as we trundle down the muddy<br />
track to the first hobbit house,<br />
where ‘the Hobbiton effect” suddenly<br />
washes over me.<br />
Unlike so many movie locations,<br />
Hobbiton casts you under<br />
its spell because it’s exactly the<br />
same as it appears on screen.<br />
It’s all so sweet and tender, with<br />
washing hanging on a line near a<br />
chimney poking out of a grassy<br />
mound.<br />
Baskets are plump with pumpkins,<br />
while flowers and herbs<br />
have been hung up to dry by a<br />
round yellow door. As we walked<br />
down a gravelled path, some<br />
members of my group frothed<br />
with delight, recognising it as the<br />
REALISTIC: Hobbiton is exactly the same as it appears on screen.<br />
spot where Frodo Baggins greeted<br />
Gandalf at the start of <strong>The</strong> Fellowship<br />
of the Ring. And these tingly<br />
movie moments just kept on<br />
coming, as we strolled around the<br />
44 hobbit houses that are strung<br />
around the hillsides, fizzing with<br />
excitement being photographed<br />
outside Bag End or sitting on the<br />
see-saw beneath <strong>The</strong> Party Tree,<br />
where Bilbo held his eleventy-first<br />
birthday. I was fully submerged in<br />
the fantasy-meets-reality world of<br />
Middle Earth.<br />
It’s little wonder that 450,000<br />
visitors toured the movie set, last<br />
year alone. Winding our way<br />
around the hills, the panoramic<br />
views reach right across the lake<br />
to the stone bridge, the watermill<br />
and the Green Dragon Inn, which<br />
looked like a life-sized thatched<br />
cottage from my grandmother’s<br />
Lilliput Lane collection.<br />
Sir Peter Jackson’s art director,<br />
Brian Massey, ensured everything<br />
down to the mugs maintained<br />
complete faith with how <strong>The</strong><br />
Green Dragon Inn was depicted<br />
onscreen.<br />
A triumph of expert craftsmanship,<br />
it’s a charmingly snug and<br />
toasty timbered environment, and<br />
the crackling open fire was an extra<br />
thrill to warm the cockles, on<br />
a chilly April day. All the brews<br />
are exclusively created by Good<br />
George Brewing, in Frankton.<br />
Maybe it was the ale, but as I<br />
re-boarded the bus to depart, I<br />
felt like I was stepping out of a<br />
movie. It really doesn’t matter<br />
whether you’re a film fanatic or<br />
not.<br />
<strong>The</strong> movie set sits on 4.8ha of<br />
land and my charming guide,<br />
Kate, shared a constant flow of<br />
fascinating bite-sized nuggets<br />
about Hobbiton.<br />
An over-riding theme is the<br />
meticulous attention to detail<br />
that Jackson demanded. All of the<br />
farm’s livestock had to be removed<br />
when shooting took place,<br />
because they didn’t look English<br />
enough. Suffolk sheep, notable for<br />
their black faces and legs, were<br />
hauled up from the South Island<br />
during shooting.<br />
Real apple and pear trees<br />
were stripped of their and<br />
replaced with plastic leaves and<br />
plums, even though they only<br />
featured for three seconds in the<br />
movie.<br />
A fake oak tree, created from<br />
silicon, was dressed with 200,000<br />
fake leaves. Jackson didn’t like<br />
the colour of the leaves, so they<br />
were all re-painted by hand, even<br />
though the tree was only in shot<br />
for 10 seconds.<br />
Kate also revealed that moss<br />
and lichen was liberally deployed<br />
to give the movie-set’s fences a<br />
weathered, old look. <strong>The</strong>y created<br />
fake moss and lichen by blending<br />
woodchips, yoghurt and paint<br />
together.<br />
As they were during filming,<br />
the vegetable patches are still<br />
filled with super-sized plants so as<br />
the hobbits would look smaller.<br />
Technically, it is still an “active<br />
set,” and a team from Weta<br />
visit every six months to give it a<br />
touch up.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hanging clothes were deliberately<br />
made to hang on the line<br />
for up to two years, before being<br />
replaced.<br />
A full-time gardening team<br />
work daily on maintaining the<br />
picturesque appearance of the<br />
trees, flowers and lawn.<br />

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY<br />
<strong>The</strong> degree that offers so<br />
many career opportunities<br />
Experience plus<br />
degree gets Ara<br />
graduate key role<br />
at Kraft Heinz<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury graduate<br />
Danielle Street has secured her dream job<br />
at Kraft Heinz Company, just a year after<br />
graduating with a Bachelor of Applied<br />
Management in Sales and Marketing.<br />
Danielle thought it would take her years<br />
to become a Territory Manager, but she<br />
believes her unique experience and degree<br />
made her stand out above the rest.<br />
“A degree is the thing that puts you on<br />
top. It shows you’ve got the latest knowledge<br />
and with that you’ll be able to adapt quickly<br />
to changes and new challenges,” she says.<br />
Working with well-known global brands<br />
like Wattie’s has always been the goal for<br />
Danielle. She knew she needed relevant<br />
experience to get a foot in the door and<br />
she got started by setting up her own snow<br />
cone business while still at high school.<br />
“Not only did this give me experience on<br />
my CV that not many people my age have,<br />
it also helped me understand what I wanted<br />
to study.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> range of subjects covered by the<br />
Ara Bachelor of Applied Management<br />
was a drawcard for Danielle. She was able<br />
to pursue her passion for marketing and<br />
event management, plus explore essential<br />
foundation subjects like economics. She<br />
says that everything she’s learned has been<br />
hugely relevant in her new role.<br />
“My marketing knowledge is something I<br />
use everyday – particularly price, product,<br />
promotion and placement – and my<br />
understanding of economics means I can<br />
use big-picture information like graphs to<br />
inform what I do.”<br />
A key part of Danielle’s degree was a a sixmonth<br />
internship, which she undertook at<br />
Frucor to gain an insight into the world<br />
of fast-moving consumer goods. She says<br />
this gave her a distinct advantage when<br />
applying for her new role in the industry.<br />
Danielle also believes that her extracurricular<br />
experience on the Student<br />
Events Team at Ara helped her prepare for<br />
her role, by exposing her to working on<br />
projects with different teams and people<br />
from different backgrounds.<br />
“Being a Territory Manager is mostly<br />
about relationship building. I need to be able<br />
to manage lots of different relationships.”<br />
Her advice to other young people<br />
wanting to enter the industry is to take<br />
advantage of any practical opportunities to<br />
get experience and to get a relevant degree.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bachelor of Applied Science in<br />
Physical Activity and Health Promotion<br />
offers students the chance to change lives.<br />
Recent graduate Abby Wilson is working<br />
as a physical health advisor for Sport<br />
Canterbury, supporting patients with a<br />
range of conditions to become more active<br />
to benefit their health and wellbeing.<br />
She says that connecting with people in<br />
the community and seeing them create<br />
change in their lives is very fulfilling.<br />
“It’s great when you meet people who<br />
want to change and you know that you<br />
have the ability to help them transform<br />
their approach to being active. Seeing them<br />
become independently active and continue<br />
with a healthier lifestyle is amazing.”<br />
During her degree, Abby completed<br />
placements with Falls Prevention and<br />
the Canterbury District<br />
Health Board. She says<br />
that the opportunity<br />
to work in the local<br />
community and build<br />
networks was invaluable.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> placements are the<br />
best part of the degree.<br />
You spend about 130<br />
hours working in the<br />
second and third years<br />
and you definitely feel<br />
ready to go out and get<br />
a job when you finish. I<br />
use the majority of what<br />
I learned in my degree<br />
every single day.”<br />
In their first year,<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
students explore foundation topics and<br />
then focus on the physical activity and<br />
health promotion specialisation for the<br />
remainder of their study. This prepares<br />
graduates to enter a wide range of roles in<br />
the sports, health and wellness sectors.<br />
Abby says that the degree has given her<br />
options. She’s already experienced the<br />
diversity the industry has to offer, including<br />
working in Abu Dhabi immediately after<br />
graduating.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> degree offers so many career<br />
opportunities, which means you get to go<br />
out and do different things throughout<br />
your career.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bachelor of Applied Science<br />
(Physical Activity and Health Promotion)<br />
is a three year, full time programme. Part<br />
time options are also available.<br />

line has to contain<br />
the numbers 1-6, and<br />
the numbers can’t be<br />
repeated in any row or<br />
column.<br />
But it’s sudoku with a<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 />

MX-5 an example of<br />
advanced engineering<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
“SAVE UP your money,’’<br />
was the advice from<br />
Masaya Kodama, CX-5<br />
project manager, Mazda<br />
Motor Corporation, Japan.<br />
I had asked Mr Kodama<br />
if a new Mazda RX was<br />
likely given the concept<br />
drawings of a new sports<br />
car have been on show.<br />
Mr Kodama said rotary<br />
engine development was<br />
ongoing, and from those<br />
comments I would say a<br />
new RX is inevitable.<br />
I’ve long considered<br />
Mazda’s development of its<br />
rotary engine to be one of<br />
the company’s finest engineering<br />
achievements.<br />
Although I’ve never had<br />
the good fortune to own a<br />
rotary, my son has a RX7<br />
turbo and occasionally I get<br />
to experience the feel and<br />
performance of that amazing<br />
sport coupe.<br />
As history has served to<br />
prove, Mazda has advanced<br />
engineering techniques<br />
right through its passenger<br />
vehicle line-up, and just<br />
recently one of its other<br />
sport models, the MX-5,<br />
was launched in a new<br />
variation – that with a folding<br />
convertible roof – made<br />
of metal.<br />
Of course, the soft-top<br />
MX-5, is still available<br />
in four variants, and the<br />
concept of a folding metal<br />
roof isn’t new; targa tops,<br />
as they have become commonly<br />
known, have been<br />
around for many decades.<br />
However, the point I’m<br />
making is that the mechanism<br />
which transforms<br />
this popular sports car is<br />
another example of Mazda’s<br />
engineering prowess. <strong>The</strong><br />
13sec electric operation<br />
is just sheer genius, it can<br />
also be open and closed<br />
at speeds of up to 10km/h<br />
and, for interest’s sake, boot<br />
space remains the same for<br />
all models.<br />
<strong>The</strong> concept for which<br />
we like MX-5 hasn’t been<br />
compromised, it is still the<br />
cheeky, two-seater which<br />
thrills with its chassis balance<br />
and associated handling<br />
prowess.<br />
Whereas the soft-top is<br />
available in both 1.5-litre<br />
and 2-litre variants, the<br />
hard-top RF (retractable<br />
fastback) is a 2-litre car<br />
only, but there’s also a<br />
choice of specification and<br />
gearbox. <strong>The</strong> GSX sits at<br />
$48,495, a Limited variant<br />
adds $3000 and $4500<br />
(auto), while the test car<br />
was a special launch edition<br />
model with automatic<br />
MAZDA MX-5 RFS: Convertible hardtop.<br />
transmission, it tops the<br />
range at $54,995.<br />
Before you jump to the<br />
conclusion that the hardtop<br />
needs the 2-litre engine<br />
because of the metal structure’s<br />
increase in weight,<br />
bear in mind that that<br />
adds just 47kg into the car<br />
and performance is far<br />
from compromised. <strong>The</strong><br />
acceleration times between<br />
the two models are much<br />
the same – 0-100km/h in<br />
6.6sec and 7.2sec respectively.<br />
• Price – Mazda MX-5<br />
RFS, $54,995<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 3915mm;<br />
width, 1735mm;<br />
height, 1235mm<br />
• Configuration –<br />
Four-cylinder, rearwheel-drive,<br />
1998cc,<br />
118kW, 200Nm, sixspeed<br />
manual<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 7.4sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
7l/100km<br />
Even though the 1998cc,<br />
twin-camshaft unit is<br />
built to Mazda’s SkyActive<br />
efficiency and emissionfriendly<br />
parameters, it is<br />
still a high performing<br />
engine with its 118kW and<br />
200Nm ratings.<br />
It works freely through<br />
the six-speed automatic<br />
thanks to low early gearing<br />
and a broad top end gear to<br />
promote highway economy.<br />
Mazda claims a sevenlitre<br />
per 100km (40mpg)<br />
combined cycle fuel usage<br />
average, which sat well<br />
with the 8l/100km (35mpg)<br />
figure showing on the test<br />
car’s trip computer when I<br />
took it back to the dealership.<br />
I’ve often been a bit critical<br />
of the MX-5 and the<br />
sound that is generated<br />
within the cockpit, history<br />
has it that it has always<br />
been a bit noisy. I guess<br />
performance car buyers<br />
like that and they may be<br />
disappointed in the hardtop<br />
as it is far quieter and<br />
far more to my liking; there<br />
is an angry engine sound<br />
when it’s working hard, but<br />
under normal conditions<br />
the hard-top promotes a<br />
quiet in-cabin environment<br />
and I relate to that.<br />
Not only is the engine<br />
a delight in terms of flexibility<br />
and honesty, the<br />
MX-5’s greatest virtue is<br />
that of its feel-good factor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> suspension and chassis<br />
engineering is a marvel.<br />
Of course, drive is sent to<br />
the rear wheels and that<br />
promotes a pure handling<br />
sensation, add in the fully<br />
involving feel from the<br />
steering wheel and the<br />
compliance within the<br />
spring and damper rates<br />
and you have a true sports<br />
car, one which delivers the<br />
fun factor along with the<br />
ability to conquer the most<br />
challenging of corners.<br />
Take into account, too,<br />
that the tyres aren’t huge<br />
(205/45 x 17in), there isn’t<br />
a lot of load put on them,<br />
and with a height of just<br />
1235mm there is little<br />
gravitational force working<br />
against the convertible in a<br />
quick corner, it handles flat<br />
and controlled.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s some flexibility<br />
built into the traction control<br />
system, you can make<br />
it a little tail-happy before<br />
the electronic devices<br />
counteract oversteer, but<br />
that doesn’t interrupt the<br />
fun. <strong>The</strong> MX-5 in this form<br />
has lost none of its playful<br />
character and that is why<br />
it has been such a popular<br />
car, it has been built with<br />
character in mind and it<br />
doesn’t disappoint.<br />
For someone whose old<br />
joints don’t work quite as<br />
well as they once did, I<br />
didn’t find entry and exit<br />
into the test car onerous, in<br />
fact I was finding excuses<br />
to get in the vehicle and go<br />
for a drive.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a raft of amazing<br />
product coming out of the<br />
Mazda factories these days,<br />
it’s no surprise then that<br />
the MX-5 in this form is so<br />
desirable. I’m so envious of<br />
those who get to own one.<br />

Lawson,<br />
Bruce<br />
take out<br />
bowls<br />
awards<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
GARY LAWSON and Tayla Bruce<br />
took out Bowls Canterbury’s top<br />
awards on Saturday night.<br />
Lawson was name sportsman of<br />
the year, and Bruce sportswoman<br />
of the year.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have<br />
been many<br />
highlights for<br />
Lawson over<br />
the past 12<br />
months, including<br />
winning<br />
the men’s pairs<br />
at the Bowls<br />
Gary Lawson<br />
Tayla Bruce<br />
New Zealand<br />
national championships<br />
in<br />
New Plymouth<br />
in January. <strong>The</strong><br />
victory was<br />
Lawson’s 11th<br />
national title,<br />
making him the<br />
most successful<br />
Kiwi bowlers of<br />
all time.<br />
“To win my<br />
11th New Zealand<br />
title was something I’ve been<br />
trying to do for a while,” he said.<br />
Lawson, who plays for the<br />
Sumner club, then went on to<br />
win the national inter-centre title<br />
with the Canterbury men’s team,<br />
which he described as the icing on<br />
the cake.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury men’s intercentre<br />
team won the team of the<br />
year award.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> spirit the boys had was<br />
the winner there. <strong>The</strong> seven other<br />
guys that I played with made it a<br />
thrill to be part of the Canterbury<br />
team,” said Lawson.<br />
Canterbury men’s team coach<br />
Darryl Hawker praised Lawson.<br />
“He was a great team member<br />
and mentor to not only the senior<br />
men’s teams this year, but also<br />
to the development men’s and<br />
women’s teams,” said Hawker.<br />
Lawson was part of the Sumner<br />
team which won the national<br />
sevens title.<br />
Bruce from the Burnside club<br />
is currently competing at the<br />
Broadbeach Bowls Club, Gold<br />
Coast, with the New Zealand<br />
squad.<br />
Alex Wilkinson, 15, also of<br />
Burnside, won the most improved<br />
and most consistent trophies at<br />
the Bowls Canterbury awards.<br />

QUINN CLINTON will follow<br />
in the footsteps of two of<br />
Australasia’s best guards when<br />
he joins St Mary’s College of<br />
California next year.<br />
Australian NBA champions<br />
Matthew Dellavedova and Patty<br />
Mills both played college basketball<br />
at SMC. <strong>The</strong> college has now<br />
had at least one Australian in<br />
their team each year since 20<strong>01</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Australian contingent<br />
haven’t been there to make up<br />
the numbers. Dellavedova is<br />
SMC’s all-time leader in scoring,<br />
assists, games played, free throw<br />
percentage, and three-point<br />
shots made.<br />
Clinton, who is seen as one<br />
of the best young shooters and<br />
passers to ever come out of New<br />
Zealand, will soon add some<br />
Kiwi flavour to the team.<br />
“I think there’s currently<br />
about half a dozen Aussies there.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve had guys that play quite<br />
a similar game to me who have<br />
had a lot of success at college<br />
and have gone on to bigger<br />
things. That’s something that<br />
stood out to me” said Clinton.<br />
Clinton is currently taking a<br />
gap year after finishing his final<br />
year at Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School. He will continue to work<br />
Young driver hopes to break rally drought<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
ARI PETTIGREW is hoping<br />
to turn his luck around at this<br />
weekend’s Canterbury Rally<br />
after a series of misfortunes in<br />
Otago and Whangarei.<br />
Pettigrew, 18, has failed to finish<br />
in the opening two rounds<br />
of the New Zealand Rally<br />
Championship but is hopeful of<br />
beginning his push in the twowheel-drive<br />
championship at<br />
home this weekend.<br />
“It hasn’t been the start to the<br />
first national championship we<br />
would have liked. We’re hopeful<br />
of a good result this weekend<br />
and knowing parts of the roads<br />
in the forest will certainly help,”<br />
said Pettigrew.<br />
At the opening round of the<br />
championship in Otago, he<br />
showed the kind of pace that<br />
has seen him earn a reputation<br />
as New Zealand’s next big thing<br />
in the sport. Over two of the<br />
stages, Pettigrew and co-driver<br />
David Calder went faster than<br />
the current NZRC 2WD record<br />
in their Ford Fiesta, and won<br />
their class on three stages before<br />
retiring with a blown engine on<br />
stage four.<br />
He didn’t have better luck in<br />
the second round of the championship<br />
in Whangarei, running<br />
into power steering issues.<br />
Pettigrew broke onto the<br />
scene last year when he finished<br />
fourth overall in just his second<br />
ever event at the Catlins Coast<br />
on his game full-time with former<br />
Tall Blacks and Canterbury<br />
Rams coach Mark Dickel.<br />
If the hard work pays off,<br />
there’s every chance SMC’s<br />
YOUNG GUN: Ari Pettigrew has shown plenty of pace in his new Ford Fiesta but is yet to finish<br />
a NZRC round this year.<br />
Rally. Driving a rear-wheeldrive<br />
BMW 318Ti, he put the<br />
skills learnt through years of<br />
grass karting to use in snowy<br />
conditions.<br />
This year, he has made the<br />
switch to not only front-wheeldrive<br />
but also left-hand-drive.<br />
<strong>The</strong> move comes with an eye<br />
towards the future. Hayden<br />
Paddon had to make the same<br />
adjustment to left-hand-drive<br />
before making it into the World<br />

out-do the Aussies.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last few months have been<br />
a roller-coaster for the talented<br />
18-year-old guard. In January,<br />
Rally Championship.<br />
“It hasn’t been as difficult<br />
as I thought it was going to<br />
be. We’ve known the shift to<br />
driving on the left side would<br />
have to come at some stage so<br />
we thought it was best to do it<br />
sooner rather than later,” said<br />
Pettigrew.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is also a strong local<br />
hope in the open championship.<br />
Rangiora’s Matt Summerfield is<br />
currently second in the NZRC<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest range of vehicles in one location<br />
he committed to the University<br />
of New Mexico and had planned<br />
on joining the team this year<br />
until their now former coach<br />
Craig Neal was fired in March.<br />
University of New Mexico’s<br />
new coach Paul Weir talked<br />
with Clinton. However, he<br />
envisioned bringing a new style<br />
of play to the team that wouldn’t<br />
complement Clinton’s attributes.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y want to go with a really<br />
fast tempo and play full court<br />
press on defence,” said Clinton.<br />
Finding a new scholarship<br />
wasn’t an issue – he is seen as<br />
one of the top college prospects<br />
from Australasia.<br />
In December, he captained<br />
the Junior Tall Blacks to the<br />
Oceania under-18 title where<br />
he drained two three-pointers<br />
in the final 90 seconds to guide<br />
his side to a 57-51 win over Australia<br />
in the final. Last month,<br />
he met with SMC coach Randy<br />
Bennett while on an official visit<br />
to the college.<br />
“I really liked it there. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
play a really structured game<br />
and look to create open shots<br />
which will suit my game,” said<br />
Clinton.<br />
Before joining SMC, Clinton<br />
will play for the Junior Tall<br />
Blacks at the FIBA under-19<br />
World Cup in Egypt next month.<br />
after a win in Whangarei.<br />
He will be looking to end<br />
a string of bad luck at the<br />
Canterbury Rally – he has not<br />
finished the event in the last<br />
three years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rally has 78 entries and<br />
begins with a ceremony at<br />
Lone <strong>Star</strong> on Manchester St<br />
on Saturday night. <strong>The</strong> rally<br />
comprises of 10 special stages<br />
raced over 195km around Ashley<br />
Forest on Sunday.

<strong>The</strong> mystery of Tui Lolohea’s exit from the Warriors<br />
• By Michael Burgess<br />
THE REASONS behind Tui<br />
Lolohea’s fall from grace at the<br />
Warriors this season will remain<br />
a mystery.<br />
Lolohea, who was granted a<br />
release from the club last week,<br />
began this year as one of the<br />
club’s first choice wings.<br />
He started the first two<br />
matches on the flank, then had<br />
games at fullback and fiveeighth,<br />
deputising for Roger<br />
Tuivasa-Sheck and Kieran Foran.<br />
At that point he slid down<br />
the pecking order, behind Blake<br />
Ayshford and rookie Charnze<br />
Nicoll-Klokstad among the<br />
outside backs.<br />
However, when asked by the<br />
NZ Herald, Warriors coach<br />
Stephen Kearney wouldn’t<br />
be drawn on the specifics of<br />
Lolohea’s demise.<br />
“It’s a matter for myself and<br />
Tui. What I will say is that we<br />
gave him the opportunity. I saw<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />
.kiwi<br />
him as a specialist right winger,<br />
he had that opportunity and<br />
as sometimes things happen, it<br />
didn’t quite work out for him.<br />
<strong>The</strong> opportunity for him now is<br />
with the Tigers and, personally<br />
I do wish him all the best,” said<br />
Kearney.<br />
However, Kearney admitted<br />
the two had disagreed over<br />
Lolohea’s best position and<br />
where his future lay.<br />
“I saw him as a specialist<br />
winger to begin with and Tui<br />
saw himself more as a half or<br />
fullback,” said Kearney.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> last thing I want to<br />
do is stop a young man from<br />
trying to achieve his potential,<br />
so I thought it was fair to both<br />
parties to let him go and<br />
chase the position he wants to<br />
play.”<br />
Lolohea will make his Tigers<br />
debut on Saturday against St<br />
George.<br />
Centre Solomone Kata returns<br />
for the Warriors round 13<br />
Thursday <strong>June</strong> 1 2<strong>01</strong>7<br />
clash with the Eels in Sydney<br />
tomorrow night after missing<br />
the last two games with a calf<br />
injury.<br />
Kata has had a mixed season<br />
so far – with only one try from<br />
nine games – but deserves<br />
another opportunity given his<br />
performances over the past two<br />
years.<br />
Kata’s inclusion results in<br />
David Fusitu’a moving back to<br />
the right wing, replacing Nicoll-<br />
Klokstad.<br />

both teams are going to go hell<br />
for leather and throw the ball<br />
around and be really physical,<br />
it’s going to be an intense match.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s no better way to finish<br />
before the [international] break.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders, having taken<br />
pride in celebrating their fourth<br />
win in a different country in four<br />
weeks following victories over<br />
the Bulls in Pretoria, Hurricanes<br />
in Christchurch, Chiefs in Suva<br />
and Rebels in Melbourne, also<br />
took pleasure in beating the winning<br />
streak of 12 the franchise<br />
set under coach Robbie Deans<br />
in 2002.<br />
Significantly, coaches Scott<br />
Robertson and Leon MacDonald<br />
played for the Crusaders that<br />
title-winning season, something<br />
touched on by current assistant<br />
Brad Mooar: “It hasn’t been a<br />
major focus, but it has been<br />
something that we have been<br />
aware of; trying to create our<br />
own history, whilst also recognising<br />
that in the past. Now we<br />
look for the 14th,” he said.<br />

Home<br />
& Property<br />
Buying a property at auction<br />
If you’re keen on a property that’s<br />
going to auction, preparation is<br />
everything. A successful bid means<br />
you are immediately committed to buy<br />
the property; you cannot seek legal<br />
advice, arrange finance or even get the<br />
property valued or inspected when the<br />
auction is over.<br />
That means you need to do all your<br />
due diligence in advance of auction<br />
day. Before the auction (usually after<br />
you’ve viewed the property), the real<br />
estate agent working for the seller<br />
should provide you with a copy of the<br />
terms and Contract of Sale, which sets<br />
out what chattels will be included with<br />
the property. This document will also<br />
tell you the amount of the deposit to<br />
be paid by the successful bidder, and<br />
when the balance of the payment must<br />
be made. <strong>The</strong>se documents should be<br />
checked by your lawyer.<br />
You should consider having<br />
the property checked (preferably<br />
by a qualified inspector who has<br />
professional indemnity insurance and<br />
carries out their work in accordance<br />
with the New Zealand Property<br />
Inspection Standards and obtain<br />
an up-to-date Land Information<br />
Memorandum (LIM) from the local<br />
council. It’s a good idea to get a<br />
valuation of the property, especially<br />
as you are likely to require one if you<br />
need a loan. Some websites provide free<br />
estimated market values that may be<br />
useful.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot to take in at an auction<br />
and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. If you<br />
can, go along to one as an observer to<br />
see how the process works before you<br />
actually want to buy. Remember that<br />
the auctioneer is working for the seller<br />
and they want to get the highest price<br />
possible for the property.<br />
At an auction, the auctioneer will<br />
read the terms and conditions of the<br />
sale aloud and announce if a reserve<br />
price has been set. <strong>The</strong>y must also state<br />
whether the seller has reserved the<br />
right to bid during the auction. This is<br />
called ‘vendor bidding’ and it is only<br />
allowed under strict circumstances,<br />
such as when the property being<br />
auctioned has a reserve price; when the<br />

reserve price has not yet been met; and<br />
the auctioneer has made it clear that the<br />
bid being made is a vendor bid. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
must do this by saying, ‘this is a vendor<br />
bid’ rather than using any jargon.<br />
Auctioneers sometimes use vendor<br />
bids as a way to start off the bidding,<br />
or to move the bidding towards the<br />
reserve price. Vendor bids can be made<br />
by the auctioneer, or another person<br />
working on behalf of the seller, such as<br />
a real estate agent. An auctioneer can<br />
also use a pre-auction offer to start the<br />
bidding.<br />
<strong>The</strong> auction continues until there is<br />
only one bidder left. At that stage, if the<br />
reserve price is reached or beaten, the<br />
highest bidder will be the successful<br />
buyer. If the reserve price isn’t reached,<br />
the seller can tell the auctioneer to<br />
stop the auction without selling the<br />
property.<br />
If the auction is stopped without a<br />
sale, the highest bidder may have the<br />
opportunity to negotiate with the seller<br />
(via their agent) after the auction. If<br />
this happens, the terms and conditions<br />
of the auction no longer apply and you<br />
can negotiate new ones.<br />

C/- Jared Pettersson, Lyttelton Port Company Limited,<br />
Private bag 5<strong>01</strong>, Lyttelton 8841; or email: Jared.Pettersson@lpc.co.nz<br />
Environment Canterbury has received an application from Lyttelton Port Company (LPC) for resource<br />
consents in respect of its proposed Te Awaparahi Bay Reclamation Project (Project).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Project involves the proposed construction of a reclamation and a piled wharf totalling approximately 24<br />
hectares in size. <strong>The</strong> Project is to be undertaken in Te Awaparahi Bay, Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupō.<br />
LPC proposes to undertake the Project in two stages:<br />
• Stage 1 will involve the construction of approximately 5 hectares of reclamation via end tipping; and<br />
• Stage 2 will involve the construction of approximately 16 hectares of reclamation, by:<br />
– creating a perimeter bund around the remaining area to be reclaimed; and<br />
– the bulk filling of the area behind the bund.<br />
A piled wharf will be constructed in stages along the southern edge of the proposed reclamation footprint.<br />
Part of Cashin Quay breakwater will also be removed, during either Stage 1 or Stage 2 of the<br />
reclamation construction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> applicant has applied for the following resource consents in relation to the proposed Project:<br />
1. CRC175507 – Coastal permit to reclaim seabed and construct a wharf, and associated disturbance of the<br />
seabed, and deposition onto or into the seabed in the Coastal Marine Area.<br />
2. CRC176030 – Coastal permit to discharge contaminants (seabed material and water) into water in the<br />
Coastal Marine Area associated with construction of the reclamation and wharf described in CRC175507.<br />
3. CRC175508 – Coastal permit to discharge any water or any contaminants into water or into or onto land,<br />
and associated deposition in the Coastal Marine Area.<br />
4. CRC175509 – Coastal permit to discharge stormwater (water and contaminants) into water, or onto or<br />
into land, and associated deposition in the Coastal Marine Area.<br />
5. CRC175510 – Discharge permit and a coastal permit to discharge dust into air from the site.<br />
A diagram outlining the location of the Project, the site boundary and details of its approximate staging is<br />
included as Figure 1.<br />

PROTECT<br />
STATE<br />
HOUSING
Christchurch will not stand<br />
idly by while National asset<br />
strips the city of state houses.<br />
Since the 1930s Christchurch families have<br />
been helped by state houses built by our<br />
parents, grandparents. But this year, in the<br />
middle of a housing crisis, the National<br />
government is trying to sell 2,500 of our state<br />
houses.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y say state house tenants can be looked<br />
after by social housing providers. However<br />
only the government has the resources and<br />
capacity to build the huge number of homes<br />
desperately needed by low-income families.<br />
If they have their way our children and<br />
grandchildren who need state housing in the<br />
future won’t be able to get it.<br />
More people and families will be left to<br />
live in cars, under bridges or doubled up in<br />
small homes.<br />
Come on<br />
Christchurch!<br />
Let’s join<br />
together<br />
and stop<br />
this social<br />
vandalism!
Christchurch<br />
desperately<br />
needs...<br />
• More state houses<br />
• More council houses<br />
• Rent controls<br />
• Long-term tenure in<br />
rental housing<br />
• A compulsory warrant<br />
of fitness for all rental<br />
housing<br />
