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 />

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

News..................................3-20<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 />

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 />

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 />

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

News<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 />

which tragically killed his<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 />

Last year Christchurch<br />

man Tula Ram Chhetri was<br />

charged and convicted of<br />

dangerous driving causing<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 />

•Nicky Wagner is Minister<br />

supporting Greater<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 />

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

Year-round warmth<br />

comfortable home all year round. Building orientation and<br />

insulation are key factors to selecting the right unit for your<br />

home. With over 15 years’ experience, the family-run business<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.

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

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 />

Thursday <strong>June</strong> 1 2<strong>01</strong>7<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 />

(Physical Activity and Health Promotion)<br />

is a three year, full time programme. Part<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 />

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 />

Value Cars<br />

record books could see a Kiwi<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 />

top spot in the New Zealand<br />

conference, but will be desperate<br />

to beat the Johannesburg-based<br />

Lions as top team overall in order<br />

to qualify for a home final.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Highlanders will be keen<br />

it is a match of some importance.<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 />

E: mike@starmedia.kiwi<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 />

DEFEND<br />

and<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 />
