TRIBUTE: Christchurch artist Peter Majendie sits in one of the 185 white chairs.
• By Gabrielle Stuart
THE ARTIST behind the 185
Empty Chairs tribute is working
to make it permanent – and
creators of The Lord of the Rings
movies may help to make it
happen.
Artist Peter Majendie is set
to speak at a city council committee
on Monday, asking for
a permanent site for the chairs
which remember the 185 people
who died in the February 22,
2011, earthquake.
Mr Majendie has conducted
an online survey and Latimer
Square or the Botanic Gardens
are the most popular options.
The chairs are currently sited
on the corner of Madras and
Cashel Sts.
Mr Majendie looked at
placing them on the CTV site,
but Crown company Otakaro
Ltd, which owns the site,
turned down the proposal in
February.
If the city council approves a
site, he plans to cast the chairs
in metal to make the installation
permanent.
Weta Workshop, which built
props and sets used in the Lord
of the Rings trilogy, is one of the

companies Mr Majendie has
approached about doing the
metal-casting work.
He said it would cost about
$500,000 to set up the permanent
installation, which
landscaping, metal-casting
and white powder-coating the
chairs, and installing a ground
lighting installation shaped like
cracks underneath it.

Armed
robber
should
never be
let out
• By Andrew King
SERIAL ARMED robber
Douglas Anderson Roake should
never be let free.
That is the view of the manager
of The Brickworks bar in
Cashmere which was robbed
twice in March by the 23-yearold.
He fired shots during the
second robbery.
Said the manager, who
declined to be identified: “I don’t
think he should ever get out.
What he has done is completely
life-changing,”
“If he could do what he did
to those young ladies out in
Rolleston and all of us, what is to
stop him doing it all over again.
To pull a trigger, especially on
another person is a whole other
level.”
Roake was captured by police
after he shot two women in
Rolleston during a home invasion
in April, one was seriously
injured. He then drove south to
Ashburton and robbed a hotel
later that night.
He was apprehended at the
Rakaia Huts the following
morning.
Roake pleaded guilty on
Monday to the robbery of six
hotels, two charges of wounding
with intent to cause grievous
bodily harm, and two charges of
presenting a firearm.

IF YOU do the crime, you’ve
got to do the time.
And the manager of The
Brickworks bar in Cashmere
says serial armed robber
Doug Roake should do a lot
of time.
On pages 1 and 6-7, the
manager and a bartender
who were held up – not once
but twice by Roake – speak
exclusively to reporter Andrew
King.
Very few people will ever
have to face a loaded firearm,
but these two women have
experienced the terror twice.
It’s a fear all hospitality
staff have. During Roake’s
reign of terror across Canterbury,
hotels and bars were on
alert fearing if they would
be next.
He had no issue about discharging
his firearm – and
the attack on two women in
Rolleston, which ultimately
led to his undoing, was testimony
of that.
So when the manager
of The Brickworks says he
should stay in jail for a very
long time, she has a point.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw Kemp’s Deed signed by Ngai
Tahu on June 12, 1848. It gave the New Zealand Company
control of land from Kaiapoi to Otago. On June 13, 1909,
Cafe Continental Hotel at Sumner was destroyed by fire.
On June 14, 1923, New Zealand’s permanent air force was
established at Sockburn with the Government taking over
the Canterbury Aviation Company. Included in the takeover
was Sockburn Aerodrome, which was renamed Wigram a
few days later. On June 14, 1977, the worst ever daytime
smog level was recorded – 750 mcg per cu m. On June 15,
1842, William Deans left Wellington to look for suitable
farmland in the South Island. On June 16, 1932, the Robert
McDougall Art Gallery was opened. It was a gift of R. E.
McDougall, managing director of Aulsebrooks and Co.

CUFF ’EM AND STUFF ’EM
When you find yourself stuck in handcuffs,
what do you do? You call into your local
fire station. Specialist fire investigator Mark
Thomas said in his weekly Star Media column
a man walked into the Christchurch
Central Fire Station on June 3, asking to
be helped out of handcuffs. He said some
discreet calls were made to find out if the
handcuffs were the work of police. “It turns
out the cuffs were the type available at
certain adult shops and the poor fellow had
been ‘trying them on.’ Ten minutes later he
was on his way – handcuffs in pieces, Mr
Thomas said.

Quake buildings inquiry: No charges
• By Gabrielle Stuart
POLICE WILL not lay
any charges in relation to
the earthquake death at St
Christopher’s Book Market on
Riccarton Rd.
Henry Ross Bush, 75, died
when the facade collapsed on his
parked car during the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
Survey ‘dictatorial style’
• By Bridget Rutherford
HIGH PROFILE property
developer Ernest Duval has
likened a survey commissioned
by the Anglican Church on the
future of the Christ Church
Cathedral to a method world
dictators would use.
Mr Duval,
who heads City
Owners Rebuild
Entity, wrote a
submission saying
the survey
was something
Ernest Duval
that would
happen under
Russian President
Vladimir Putin, Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad, or
North Korea’s Kim Jong-un.
The survey, done by company
Research First, was released on
Tuesday and said 58 per cent
wanted the Cathedral reinstated.
In his submission, Mr Duval,
who wants the Cathedral restored,
said it was biased.
“Good to know there are
outfits like yours in the Market
place and will pass your contact
details to Messrs putin Assad
Kim il Jun [sic],” he wrote.
He said the comments were
directed at the pollsters.
“That’s the sort of thing they
would do in those countries
to get a result to support their
political point of view.
Detective Inspector Darryl
Sweeney said police are also
unlikely to pursue charges into
the death of apprentice tattooist
Matt McEachen who died trying
to escape falling rubble at the
Southern Ink tattoo parlour on
Colombo St.
Police said yesterday they are
awaiting final reports into their
investigation into the collapse
CRITICISM: The Anglican Church-commissioned survey on
the future of the Christ Church Cathedral has been called
biased.
“We live in an open and fair
and transparent democracy, we
don’t live in a place where you
have to manipulate questions to
get a desired result.”
But the Church Property
Trustees, along with Research
First director Carl Davidson,
said on Tuesday the survey was
not biased.
“We went to Research First
because we knew they would
help us form the questions that
didn’t actually bias the results
of the CTV Building and the
Ballantynes car park building
on Lichfield St.
Linda Arnold, 57, was killed
when a concrete panel fell
from the Ballantynes car park
building, and 115 lives were lost
in the CTV collapse.
Detective Inspector Sweeney
said police had assessed
the Southern Ink case for

in any particular way,” Church
Property trustee Bruce Deam
said.
The survey first asked the 380
random participants whether
they preferred reinstatement, a
rebuild or if they did not mind.
Then, when participants
were told the “consequences,”
such as the funding gap for
reinstatement, the likelihood of
an impact on rates, and the time
frame, 23 per cent changed their
minds.
criminal charges and engaged
several experts to examine the
report.
“They do not believe that
charges should be laid in this
case,” he said.
Matt’s father Bruce McEachen
said he had been waiting 2250
days to hear the result of the
investigation, and he was
absolutely gutted.
DICTATORS: Russian
President Vladimir Putin,
Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad, and North Korea’s
Kim Jong-un.
In Brief
RAVENSDOWN CLEARED
A Worksafe investigation into the
death of a contractor at Ravensdown
on Main South Rd has been
concluded. Worksafe have said it
will be taking no action against
the fertiliser company after the
death of 73-year-old Keith Edward
Hillery. Mr Hillery suffered serious
burns from an electric shock
on June 16, 2016. He was airlifted
to the National Burns Centre at
Middlemore Hospital in Auckland,
where he later died. Five others
were taken to hospital for smoke
inhalation but were uninjured.
BURGLARY CHARGES
A man arrested for a number of
burglaries in north-west suburbs
has had further charges added.
Robert William Northe, 30, now
faces eight charges of burglary,
possession of instruments for
burglary and possession of
cannabis. He will appear via videolink
from Christchurch Men’s
Prison on June 22. Eighty-three
houses were burgled in Ilam,
Bryndwr and Strowan over a 10-
week period. Detective Sergeant
Ross Tarawhiti said more charges
for Northe were likely.
HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER
The women fundraising to buy
recliner chairs for the Christchurch
Hospital children’s ward have
nearly reached their target.
Joanna Triplow and Renee Jones
began fundraising to buy 12
hospital-standard recliners and

Stadium upkeep costs soar

bar twice held up by Roake.
Armed robber

•From page 1
His reign of terror was carried
out over two months, instilling
fear throughout the hospitality
industry.
Police mounted a special taskforce
to catch him.
Said the manager: “There is
nothing that would make me
feel better about him being back
out. We feel protected while he is
locked up.”
In May The Star revealed that
Roake was part of the security

He has been remanded in custody
until sentencing on August

THE COST of maintaining
Addington’s AMI Stadium has
jumped by more than $700,000
in the past year, renewing calls
for a replacement facility.
City council figures show
the maintenance costs for the
temporary facility were $998,532
in 2016.
That jumped from $153,259
the year before.
Christchurch
Stadium Trust
chief executive
Tim Shannahan
said the
2016 costs were
higher because
Jamie Gough
it included the
replacement of
the floorboard
decks in the three main stands.
“The original decks installed
in 2012 were identified at that
time as having a life of five years
before replacement would be
necessary.”
In March the city council
granted building consent for $1
million of work to prolong the
stadium’s lifespan to 2022. The
replacement floorboard decks
were part of that work.
In 2012, the stadium’s maintenance
costs were $102,576,
followed by $95,072 in 2013, and
$67,367 in 2014.
Mr Shannahan said the figures
included annual, scheduled
and reactive maintenance.
AMI Stadium opened in 2012
as a replacement for earthquakedamaged
Lancaster Park.
A multi-purpose arena is part
of the central city blueprint to
replace Lancaster Park to be
funded by the Crown and city
council.
The Crown has already spent
about $40 million acquiring
land for it in the blocks between
Hereford, Tuam, Madras, and
Barbadoes Sts.
A business case for it was put
on hold last year until the city
council stated clear support for it.
Now that Lancaster Park will
be demolished, a pre-feasibility
study for the replacement facility
is under way.
City councillor Jamie Gough
said the multi-purpose arena
needed to be built as soon as
practically possible because
AMI Stadium’s costs were “skyrocketing”.
“It’s been put together with
Blu-Tak and goodwill. We’ve
had some incredible events
but we need to be honest with
ourselves, we’ve got these events

because we’re a charity case. We
need to be serious about being a
city again.”
He said originally the replacement
facility was meant to have
been built by now, ready to host
a Lions match.
There was “every possibility”
the construction of the new
facility would be sped up as a
result of the submissions on the
Annual Plan, he said.
In May, Crusaders chief executive
Hamish Riach urged the
city council to build a modern,
fit-for-purpose facility as soon
as possible in his annual plan
submission.

Robbed twice: Manager, staff
Armed robber Douglas
Anderson Roake pleaded
guilty this week to a
string of violent hold-ups
and a double shooting
in Canterbury. Two of his
victims speak exclusively
to Andrew King
“F**k I can’t believe this is
happening again.”
That was the first thing that
came into the mind of a The
Brickworks bar staff member
when angry armed robber Douglas
Roake shot his way in late on
Wednesday night, March 29.
Just two weeks earlier the staff
member had been on duty when
Roake had robbed the Centaurus
Rd bar at gunpoint.
This time Roake was very
agitated.
Unable to get in after the doors
were locked as the last patrons
were finishing up their drinks,
he simply shot his way in. The
damage from his shotgun is still
visible.
The robberies have taken their
toll on the bartender and the
manager who have endured both
robberies.
Said the bartender: “I have
HORROR: Douglas Roake (right) twice used a gun to hold up
The Brickworks in Centaurus Rd.
suffered panic attacks, insomnia,
sleep paralysis since the robberies,
but that is getting better
now.”
“You don’t want to relive it but
you do every morning when we
walk in the door.”
“I’m still scared to enter the
toilet [in the bar] because I am
unsure who could be behind the
door.”
Neither the bartender or
manager will be identified. It is
the first time they have spoken
publicly, about the ordeal every
hospitality worker dreads.
When Roake could not get in
he violently tried to open the
door.
The bartender was drying
glasses behind the bar. She
looked up and saw a man
hunched over with a gun pointed
through the glass at her. The
manager was stacking chairs on
tables.
“I was in disbelief that it was
happening again. I just went into
shock,” the manager said.
The bartender crouched down
and retreated to the kitchen to
warn other staff they were being
robbed again.
The manager went to the back
of the restaurant and phoned
111. She then heard the shot and
quickly said into the phone: “If
anyone can hear me, please help
us.”
Kitchen staff hearing the shot
hid in the chiller. The bartender
refused.
“I don’t do well in enclosed
places and didn’t want to be in
there if he opened it and fired the
gun inside,” she said.
Roake entered through the hole
he had blown in the door and
demanded: “Come out with your
hands up.” His voice was frantic.
The bartender appeared from
the kitchen hands up. The
kitchen staff stayed in the chiller.
She and another bartender
were ordered on the ground, and
the manager was ordered to fill a
bag with money.
The bartender knew it was the
same robber from the previous
hold-up. His voice gave him
away.
“OH I LOVE IT.
IT’S ALL
SO NEW.”
“I have the security, the companionship
and everything I need.”
Jill made the move to a villa in her Summerset
retirement village, after the passing of her
husband. “We had discussed it in the past
and thought it would be the best thing for me,
for many reasons,” she says.
Apart from tending to her lovely garden, she
keeps a busy daily schedule.

tell of gunman’s terror
“It was a surreal experience
lying on the floor while there is a
gunman in the building wanting
money,” she said.
Roake asked if there was a
back way to leave.
“No, everything is bolted shut,”
the bartender said.
Roake was agitated and very
aggressive as he pointed the gun
in a threatening manner telling
them they “were doing well, I
don’t want to hurt you, but if you
move I will.”
He then demanded money
from the pokies, as he had during
the first robbery. He was
told it would take longer this
time, as they had not cleared the
machines.
He ordered the manager and
bartender into the pokie room
for more cash before telling the
bartender: “You come with me”.
Panic filled. She thought she
would be taken as a hostage. She
decided she wouldn’t go without
a fight. But all Roake wanted was
for her to zip up his loot bag. She
fumbled which made him angry.
He yelled at her to hurry up.
Roake told her to lie back
down and he left through the
hole in the front door. He walked
a short distance along Centaurus
Rd, but returned to pick up the
AFTERMATH: Broken glass and a hole where a shotgun pellet
lodged into the timber.

spent cartridge by the door.
The manager says Roake was
in the bar for at least 10min.
When police arrived they
ordered everyone out of the bar
at gunpoint, something that was
just as traumatic as the robbery
itself, she said.
The manager says the robberies
have affected her.
“Sometimes, I don’t want to
be here, but I have too. You can’t
run away in life, you have to
confront the demons.”
In the first robbery on March
14, Roake again struck at closing
time. Staff waiting outside for a
lift home were marched into the
bar at gunpoint.
They were ordered onto the
ground and the manger told to
hand over the money. He made
everyone get on the ground
while he demanded money from
the manager.
“You’re doing well ma’am,”
Roake said as she complied with
his orders.
“When it happened I just
turned into a zombie. I couldn’t
tell you what was going through
my mind,” the manager said.
She will always be puzzled why
Roake targeted the bar, not once
but twice.
She and the bartender went to
court to hear Roake.
“We went to court to hear his
voice to put our minds at ease
that it was him and that the guy
was not still out there,” the manager
said.
One way the manager and one

Sexual assaults highest in Chch
.kiwi
CHRISTCHURCH had the
highest number of sexual assault
cases in the country, police
figures show.
From July 2014 to December
2016, Christchurch had 10,417
cases of victimisation complaints
for acts intended to cause injury.
Nationally, there were 118,732.
Wellington had 4312 cases,
Hamilton with 6063, and Counties-Manukau
West with 5886.
Acting Assistant Commissioner
Sam Hoyle said Christchurch
Metro was ranked top in New
Zealand for sexual assault cases
from mid-2014 to the end of last
year.
Many of the same factors associated
with assaults around the
country were also found in aggravated
sexual assault incidents.
“Central Christchurch, as we
know, is sort of reopening and
reinvigorating and nightlife is
coming back. It hasn’t featured
amongst the data much at all
until the last year or two [due
to the earthquake recovery],”
Acting Assistant Commissioner
Hoyle said.
“These types of sexual assaults
[tend to result from] big groups
of people dispersing from clubs
and pubs in the early hours of
the morning. Generally, these
sexual assaults are not committed
by strangers.”
He said stranger attacks were
still incredibly rare.
In spite of a high number
of hotels and backpackers in
downtown areas, Acting Assistant
Commissioner Hoyle said
there was no evidence to suggest
that tourists were sexual assault
targets.
Historically, he said data suggests
the vast majority of victims
are locals making their way
home through a more dangerous
part of town.
Police said one reason many
sexual assaults are recorded in
downtown Christchurch is because
many crimes are reported
at the Central Police Station, due
to police being unable to determine
an exact location.
Acting Assistant Commissioner
Hoyle said the national stats
were not a surprise and there was
a “strain” on police resources to
help keep the peace.
“If you look at our biggest
CBDs, they all feature around
those common assaults, which
doesn’t surprise me at all.
“Where we have those strong
night-time economies, where
we have big groups of people
all arriving in town at the same
time, often having pre-loaded
before they arrive, and then they
all leave at about the same time
we get people bumping into each
other and that’s where we get the
assaults.
“At four o’clock on a Sunday
morning, there’s not much
around in terms of capable
guardianship, there’s some police
officers, some security, taxi
operators – there’s not that much
else out there in terms of capable
guardians.”
He said often assaults involved
“predominately younger people
[who were] heavily intoxicated.”
He said police “resource-up”
for every Thursday, Friday and
Saturday night, and large events,
to help combat the carnage.
“It does put a strain on, it’s
a busy period for police most
weekends, it’s a busy period
for ambulance staff, it’s a busy
period of ED (emergency department)
staff for all those same
reasons.”
Police statistics also show more
than a third of all offences are
committed by an offender who
has been drinking.
Acting Assistant Commissioner
Hoyle said Wellington’s
inner-city was a hotbed for
violent offences on a Friday or
Saturday night. – NZ Herald

Councillors frustrated
The Star
Call for rebuild
boss to meet
with city hall
• By Bridget Rutherford
SOME CITY councillors are
frustrated they still haven’t had
a formal meeting with the new
rebuild boss more
than two months
after she took over
the role.
But Minister
supporting Greater
Nicky
Wagner
Yani
Johanson
Christchurch Regeneration
Nicky Wagner
said she planned
to but had not found
the time.
City councillor
Yani Johanson said
it was “really important”
to meet on
a regular basis. He
had made a request
to do so but was still
waiting.
City councillors never met
with Mrs Wagner’s predecessor
Gerry Brownlee, which had been
frustrating, he said.
“We’re at the start of a new
relationship. We need to be openminded
and give it the benefit
of the doubt to see if there is an
improved way to work together
so it’s better for the community.”
City councillor Aaron Keown
said he was surprised a meeting
had not happened already.
He wanted something like the
2010 system, where there was a
monthly meeting attended by
city councillors, community
board members, health board
members and mayors from
across Canterbury.
Mrs Wagner said she had
planned on attending a city
council meeting, but had not
found the time.
She was open to setting up
monthly meetings.
“I see my job now as moving
the leadership from central
Government and passing it on to
local Government.”
Mrs Wagner said she meets
with Mayor Lianne Dalziel
weekly, and spoke to the relevant
ministers at weekly caucus meetings
about Christchurch issues.
She said she met with Prime
Minister Bill English last week to
keep him updated.
“And Gerry Brownlee, I’m constantly
talking to him because, of
course, he’s got lots of the history
going back.”
City councillor Jamie Gough
said he was keen to meet with
Mrs Wagner when required.
He said the city council should
have met more with Mr Brownlee.
“I think the tension between
local government and the Crown
occurred probably more often
than we would have liked because
there wasn’t that dialogue
there. I don’t know if that was
necessarily anyone’s fault.”

Critical fire victim
an Australian
• By Andrew King
A MAN in a critical condition
after he was pulled from a
burning motel room is believed
to be a roofer from Australia.
Firefighters dragged the man
from a room at the City Central
Motel Apartments, Barbadoes
St, at about 6.50am on Wednesday
after responding to a room
consumed by fire.
Detective Senior Sergeant
Mark Worner would not be
drawn on what had caused the
fire on Wednesday but said it
was “not accidental.”
It is understood the man
had set up a roofing company
in the past nine months after
coming to Christchurch about
18 months ago and was working
predominantly in Queenstown.
He had returned to the city
from Queenstown on Friday
night.

Belt and Road Forum
for Future Cooperation
The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation
(BRF) which was concluded in May 14-15 outlined the
roadmap for the success of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Twenty-nine foreign heads of state and government
attended the forum.
Other delegates included officials, entrepreneurs, financiers
and media from over 130 countries and regions, which are
home to more than two thirds of the world’s population
and their combined gross domestic product accounts for
90 percent of the world’s total. The second BRF will be held
in China in 2019.
The forum yielded a list of outcomes, which included 76
consensuses comprising more than 270 detailed results in
five key areas, namely policy, infrastructure, trade, financial
and people-to-people connectivity.
It sent a positive signal for all parties to work together
to build a community of shared future, which would be
extremely important for China and the world.
Large Investment Demand
A joint communiqué was issued at the forum, vowing
to work on a long-term, stable and sustainable financing
system, as well as to enhance financial infrastructure
connectivity, by exploring new finance models, platforms
and services. The projects will require innovative financing
mechanisms -- a mix of public and concessional finance
and commercial capital.
Stronger Financial Connectivity
Meanwhile, besides the actual fund injection, future
cooperation would gradually extend from the building of
hardware such as roads and ports to softer sectors such as
management and services. Funding services and financial
support would be one of the service and institutional
improvements that would take more shares in the next
round of Belt and Road construction.
Nine Chinese-funded banks have set up 62 direct branches
and representative offices in 26 countries along the Belt
and Road as of the end of 2016, offering tailored services to
local clients. At the same time, 54 commercial banks from
20 countries and regions along the Belt and Road have
established branches, financial companies or representative
offices in China, seeking opportunities with the initiative.
According to the Guiding Principles on Financing the
Development of the Belt and Road, governments along
the Belt and Road should coordinate to provide favorable
policy environments for financing. The guiding principles
also suggest letting the private sector play a larger role in
the initiative, and encouraging financial innovation while
enhancing cooperation on financial regulation.
Consolidated Consensus
China aims to work with other countries to build the
Belt and Road into an open platform of cooperation and
a solution for challenges, including a lack of new growth
drivers, development imbalance and terrorism. President
Xi Jinping said China hoped to create a big family of
harmonious co-existence, and the pursuit of the Belt and
Road will not resort to outdated geopolitical manoeuvring.
To ease concerns, Xi said China has no intention of
interfering in internal affairs of other countries, exporting
its social system and model of development, or imposing
its will on others.
accounting for 8.5 percent of total overseas investment
made by Chinese enterprises.
The Chinese President in his speech also mentioned China
will expand China-Europe railway cargo services and
establish new mechanisms, including a liaison office for
the forum’s follow-up activities and a research centre. With
coordinated and sustained collaboration among all parties
concerned, the forum will mark the start of the Belt and
Road 2.0.
Opportunities for New Zealand
Attending the forum showed that New Zealand wanted to
be part of the discussion. New Zealand and China signed a
ground-breaking memorandum of understanding on Belt
and Road Initiative in March. The longer-term target is to
work with China to develop a plan on how New Zealand
can participate and contribute to the initiative.
One of the eye-catching outcomes of the forum was China’s
hefty financial support to advance the initiative, including
an additional 100 billion yuan (14.5 billion U.S. dollars) to
the Silk Road Fund.
China will also encourage its financial institutions to
conduct overseas yuan fund businesses with an estimated
amount of about 300 billion yuan. China’s decision to scale
up financial support for the Belt and Road, after billions
of U.S. dollars of investment over the past three years,
underscored the country’s resolution to push forward the
initiative.
The Belt and Road will be open to all. All countries, from
Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania or the Americas, can be
partners of the initiative. So far, the initiative has won
support from more than 100 countries and international
organizations, of which over 40 have signed cooperation
agreements.
Landmark Significance
The Belt and Road initiative has gone beyond vision and
become a reality, delivering tangible benefits to countries
along the routes. From Mongolia to Malaysia, Thailand to
Pakistan and Laos to Uzbekistan, many projects, including
high-speed railways, bridges, ports, industrial parks, oil
pipelines and power grids, are being built. Since 2013,
Chinese businesses have invested more than 60 billion
U.S. dollars in countries along the Belt and Road. The
investment totalled 14.5 billion dollars in 2016 alone,
This advertorial page is supported by The Chinese Consulate
Coming back from the Belt and Road Forum for
International Cooperation, Paul Goldsmith who is New
Zealand’s Minister of Science and Innovation, Minister of
Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, said the forum
“was a very impressive and significant event.” As the head
of the New Zealand delegation, Goldsmith said during an
interview that he sees the Belt and Road Initiative as the
re-management, re-invention and re-invigoration of the
ancient trade routes. He said “The Silk Road is a starting
point and an expression of support for the open market,
reducing trade barriers, increasing connectivity across the
world. He said that as a small trading nation, New Zealand
“obviously has a keen interest on all those things” and
New Zealand is well aware of the opportunities that China
provide especially for bilateral trade.
Being Minister of Science and Innovation, Mr. Goldsmith
is particularly interested in the themes of the Belt and
Road Initiative on innovation, which is the particular
field that New Zealand is focused on. New Zealand is
also looking into how the two countries can continue to
work together on innovation in many fields. New Zealand
universities have long time relationships with Chinese
leading universities. Mr. Goldsmith said that there’s a good
prospect for New Zealand and China to further develop
science connections under the Belt and Road Initiative.

them know what is happening,”
she said.
She said she initially had
doubts that police would be able
to respond to any breaches of
conditions, but said Corrections
reassured her police would make
it a “top priority.”
Residents association chairwoman
Julie Tobbell said it was
good to allow the community to
voice their concerns.
“I will be looking to set up a
meeting with concerned residents
and Corrections at a later
date once I find out how many
people would be interested in it,”
she said.
No specific details about the
offender were discussed at the
meeting, Ms Tobbell said.
The next time the residents
association will meet is July
10, but Ms Tobbell said there
could be another meeting set up
if there was a large number of
interested residents who wanted
to attend.
Schools were notified by Corrections
staff who assured them
that there will be 24/7 monitoring,
exclusion zones
to prevent contact with
children, and the offender will
be housed more than 500m
from schools.
Letters were sent to Somerfield,

Changing attitudes lower the number
• By Bridget Rutherford
DRINK DRIVING charges have
almost halved in Canterbury
over the past decade – a shift
police say is down to changed
attitudes.
The latest drink driving figures
show the number of people
charged for driving under the influence
of alcohol in Canterbury
was 1658 last year, compared
with 2543 in 2007.
Of those, 1604 were convicted
last year. There were 2433 convictions
in 2007.
Nationally, the number has
dropped from 27,328 a decade
ago, compared with 16,304 in
2016.
Canterbury
road policing
manager
Inspector Al
Stewart (left)
said police were
encouraged by
the downward
trend.
“The trauma and grief caused
by an alcohol-related serious
crash is massive, so less people
affected by alcohol on our roads
make them safer for all road
users and reduces harm in our
communities.”
He said changing public

attitudes to drink driving was
the reason for the decline. It
was not seen as acceptable any
more, he said.
Inspector Stewart said police
had made strategic efforts targeting
alcohol harm, especially on
the roads.
“This has been supported by
the lower drink driving limits
which have encouraged people
to think about their drinking
behaviour and plan to make it
home safely.”
The breath-alcohol limit was
lowered from 400mcg/L to
250mcg/L in December, 2014.
But the limit that triggered
prosecution at court was
400mcg/L.
The latest stats did not include
the number of people given an
infringement notice for driving
over the 250mcg/L limit since it
changed.
But in 2014, the number of
people charged in Canterbury
was 2235, before dropping to
1852 in 2015 and again in 2016.
Bars and pubs have noticed
people are more aware of what
they were drinking, with many
patrons now choosing light beers
and wines.
Valley Inn Tavern owner Dean
Calvert said since the new limit
was introduced in 2014, they had
noticed patrons were buying a lot
more food and snacks to go with
their drink.
“People are eating before they
drive.”
BY THE NUMBERS
Number of drink driving
charges in Canterbury in the
last five years:
2012: 2900
2013: 2472
2014: 2235
2015: 1852
2016: 1658
Number of convictions in
Canterbury in the last five
years:
2012: 2795
2013: 2392
2014: 2187
2015: 1796
2016: 1604
The sale of lower alcohol beer
had also been on the rise, he
said.
“There’s definitely a lot more
people drinking the Monteith’s
Mid Strength Ale.”
They had a courtesy van for 14
years and it had always been very
well used, he said.
Sullivans Irish Bar owner
Mark Sullivan said they had
a wide range of non-alcoholic
beverages, as well as low alcohol
beer and alcohol-reduced wine.
They also sold an Edenvale
non-alcoholic wine, he said.
“There definitely has been a
shift to no-alcohol products.”

He said they had seen an increase
in people buying food, and staff
monitored their patrons closely
and encouraged them to eat.
Sullivans manager Subhadra
Marshall said: “People are more
aware of what they’re drinking.”
The statistics showed in
Christchurch, 1562 appeared in
the district court charged with
drink driving last year. It was
2080 in 2007.
In comparison, last year 78
people appeared in the Ashburton
District Court charged
with drink driving, and 170 in
Timaru.
In 2007, people aged 19-yearsold
and under had the most
convictions for drink driving in
Christchurch with 473.
But last year, the number of
under-19s convicted had dropped
to 154, and the 20-24-year-old
bracket was the highest with 323
convictions.
That was followed by the 25-29
age bracket with 274.
Inspector Stewart said police
and communities could not be
complacent.
People needed to continue to
have “hard conversations” with
family members, whatever their
age, if they were putting themselves
and others at risk by drink
driving, he said.
“Police will continue to enforce
alcohol-related offending at a high
level to reduce the trauma and
family harm that results from it.”

others
•A 38-year-old woman
was caught drink driving
more than four times the
legal limit with her two
young children in Rolleston.
Melanie Susan Trebilco
pleaded guilty to a charge
of driving with excess
blood alcohol after being
caught at a random stop on
Tennyson St on December
9. Her alcohol level was
1157mcg/L. Police said she
refused to let officers escort
her three and
nine-year-old children, as
the car did not have car
seats. She was disqualified
from driving for eight
months, and fined $1000 in
January.
•On the same day,
another Rolleston mother
recorded a reading of
696mcg/L when stopped
in Faringdon subdivision
with her four-year-old child
in the car. The 35-year-old
was pulled over after failing
to stop at a stop sign.
•Well-known race car
driver and businessman
Paul Kelly was caught by
police doing a burnout
in a classic car outside
a Christmas party while
under the influence. The
47-year-old had been
drinking for the day on
December 16 and blew
853mcg/L. He was
disqualified from driving for
six months and fined $600.
• Sarah Jane Arrow was
on a zero-alcohol licence
when she got behind the
wheel after drinking last
year. The 45-year-old was
driving along Main Rd,
four times the legal limit,
and failed to take a bend,
crashing into pedestrian
Ben Appleton. He flew
2m onto the rocks below,
suffering two broken legs,
and a fractured skull and
spine. In September Arrow
was sentenced to twoand-a-half
years in prison
and was banned from
driving for the rest of her
life. She was ordered to pay
$2500 in reparation to Mr
Appleton. It was her fourth
conviction for drink driving.

Bishop in protest
• By Gabrielle Stuart
BISHOP Victoria
Matthews is set to speak at
a State houses sale protest
rally this weekend – but
she won’t be the guest of
honour there.
Instead, the top speaker
position has been given
to the tenants of the state
houses, so they can tell
their own
stories.
The rally
on Saturday

Matthews
proposed
sale of up
to 2500
state houses
in Christchurch, about 40
per cent of the city’s state
housing stock.
The sell-off plan was
announced in November
by Bill English, who said
it was opportunity for a
private social housing provider
to renew and develop
the homes.
But Christchurch social

and Tenants Protection

John Key lived as a child is one of up to 2500 which

Association, have criticised
the plan.
Protest organiser
Marney Ainsworth said
people were concerned the
state housing sold would
be run for profit, and
people living there would
suffer.
“A woman came up to
me after one meeting and
said she felt very ashamed
of herself, because she
hadn’t clicked that these
were real, live, human,
people. That’s what we’re
trying to show,” she said.
Victoria Matthews said
she planned to speak at
the protest to support the
people living there.
“I’m less concerned
about who owns state
housing, and more
concerned about the maintenance
of it and the response
to those who need
extra support. The need to
care for our neighbour is
more important than who
owns the housing,” she
said.
Labour MP Megan
Woods and Green MP
Eugenie Sage are also set to
speak at the meeting. Ms
Ainsworth said National
MPs Amy Adams and
Gerry Brownlee had both
been invited, but neither
had responded.

assessment – breaking the rules
around the Government funding.
In March, the health board was
told it could face a $24 million
funding cut as penalty if it did
not catch up by the end of June.
That means having fewer than
one per cent of patients waiting
for more than six months, and
completing the year’s target of
20,982 non-emergency surgeries
this month.
The CDHB already faces
financial problems, with a estimated
budget shortfall this year
of more than $39 million.
The CDHB met with the
Ministry of Health to discuss
the situation last month, and the
health board was on track
to achieve the targets at that

OKAINS BAY identity Murray
Thacker has died.
The 83-year-old, whose great
grandparents were early settlers
in the Okains Bay area, passed
away last week.
He was best known for his
work with the Okains Bay Maori

items over the decades for the
museum and he was heavily
involved in the annual Waitangi
Day celebrations.
He was awarded a Queen’s
Service Medal for his work.
Mr Thacker was once described
as being ‘pure Okains’.
He was born in 1933 and grew
up in Okains Bay, He attended
the local school and began his
collecting interest of historic
items while there.
He went onto Christchurch
Boys’ High School, trained as
a blacksmith, and returned to
Okains Bay and developed a successful
hereford stud.

Wig out in support of the
Child Cancer Foundation
STAR MEDIA staff will don
their wigs on Wednesday to
raise money for a very worthy
cause – and we are urging you
to as well.
Wig Wednesday will take
place on June 21 to raise
money for the Child Cancer
Foundation, which provides
personalised support for children
diagnosed with cancer and
their families. Participants just
need to wear a wig, and bring a
donation.
Star Media publishes The Star,
six community newspapers,
magazines, including Style, Kiwi
Gardener and Rugby News, and
has a website www.star.kiwi
Star Media director Charlotte
Smulders, who organises the
annual Child Cancer Foundation
Christmas Party, said Wig
Wednesday would raise much
needed funds.
“Child Cancer Foundation is
an essential and amazing support
service for families going
through their cancer journey,”
she said.
“I think this is a unique and
fun way to support them, and
it brings the Star Media team
together for a great cause.”
In last year’s Wig Wednesday,
businesses, schools, community
groups and individuals donned
their wigs to raise more than
$90,000.
“We’re hoping to build on
those numbers again this year.
It’s so much fun and easy for
people to participate; simply
don a wig and make a donation,”
Child Cancer Foundation
national commercial manager
Jo Clark said.
Every week more than three
children in New Zealand are
diagnosed with cancer.
The Child Cancer Foundation
receives no direct funding from
the Government, so relies on
the generosity of the public, and
events such as this.
Star Media wants you to join
in. Take photos of yourself, your
school or business taking part
in Wig Wednesday and send
them to bridget.rutherford@

Those who send in the best

Complaints leave red zone
in doubt for future concerts
• By Bridget Rutherford
LARGE EVENTS are unlikely
to be held in a red zone park
again after a trial concert left
damage to the grounds and noise
complaints.
It comes after calls to hold
more events in the red zone to
take pressure off Hagley Park.
Australian musician Tash
Sultana played in The Bedford
Marquee at Burwood’s Donnell
Sports Park on May 25.
It was one of three sold-out
shows performed in New Zealand,
organised by her management
and CRS Music.
The park had never been used
for that type of event before, and
the city council decided future
use of the site was to be determined
on the outcome of it.
A recently-released city council
report said its events partnerships
and development team would
not “actively recommend” the
park for future events with heavy
infrastructure such as marquees
and truck movements.
But the report said the team
would assess any application on a
“case-by-case basis.”
It came after the city council
received four noise complaints
from the Tash Sultana concert,
The Star
two of which were after the event
had finished.
The report said the ground was
not ideal for future events of this
scale, as trucks driving on it had
caused damage due to how wet
it was.
The cost of that damage was
being covered by the concert
organisers. CRS Music did not
respond to The Star.
But the report said for the most
part, the feedback from residents
had been positive. In February,
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said more
events should be held in the red
zone to take pressure off Hagley
Park. Hands off Hagley had been
concerned with the damage being
caused to Hagley due to the number
of events being held there.
The city council report said the
public had expressed interest to
utilise parts of the red zone for
events.

Playhouses take shape for charity
FUTURISTIC, CLASSIC or
quirky – three unique and very
different playhouses are taking
shape, all in aid of charity.
The playhouses are being
designed and built by three
teams of Canterbury architects
and builders, and are set to be
auctioned at the Star Home &
Leisure Show in less than three
weeks.
The money raised will go to
charities – Birthright Canterbury,
which supports single
parent families in need, and
Tenants Protection Association
Christchurch, which works to
protect and support tenants.
Tenants Protection Association
manager Di Harwood said
the Playhouse Challenge was a
perfect fit for both charities.
“Housing is an important issue
for clients of both organisations
and demand for advice and
support has remained high ever
since the first Canterbury earthquakes,”
she said.
Birthright Canterbury manager
Rhodora Sagles said the
playhouses were “real statement
pieces” and she could see them
suiting businesses, pre-schools or
private backyards.
The teams creating the playhouses
are Fusion
Homes with
Scratch Architecture;
Irving Builders
with PXA
Architects;
and Pound
Road Trading.
Star Media
is the major
sponsor of the Playhouse
Challenge, which is also being
supported by Priority Communications,
Wyma Engineering,
Resene, Robertson Creative, and
Dave Richards Photography.
Star Media general manager
Steve McCaughan said it was a
worthy cause.
“We are big supporters of
Birthright Canterbury and
Tenants Protection Association,
who have been looking after
Canterbury people for many
many years.”
The playhouses would also be
something special, he said.
“They will be judged on their
architectural design and construction,
as well as how much
fun they are for kids,” he said.
The Playhouse Challenge was
inspired by Australia’s popular
Cubby House Challenge,
QUIRKY: Fusion Homes’ playhouse final design (top left)
combines solid construction and foam insulation for warmth and
vibrant colours as seen during its construction.
which this year raised well over
$100,000 for the charity ‘Kids

The judges will include Birthright

and early childhood educator

Lions give city a boost
Nicky Wagner
WHAT A game. The Crusaders
may not have won at the
weekend but Christchurch
certainly did – the city came
alive with thousands of eager
rugby fans.
The visit by the British and
Irish Lions, their support staff
and loyal fans was a boost of
energy and income, but also an
opportunity to take stock of our
tourism sector.
The latest Greater Christchurch
Dashboard – Tourism,
released on Sunday, looks at
international visitor arrivals to
Christchurch Airport, guest
nights and accommodation
availability.
Overall, while tourism is not
back at pre-quake levels, visitor
numbers and accommodation
capacity are increasing.
It’s particularly pleasing to
see annual international visitor
numbers to Christchurch
Airport (as of April this year)
reach more than 500,000 for
the first time since the quakes.
Total tourism expenditure in
the greater Christchurch area is
estimated at $2.3 billion in the
12 months to April 2017.
Capacity at motels and holiday
parks is almost back to 2010
levels, but there’s still some work
to do in the hotel sector, with
bed numbers in March 2017 at
56 per cent of 2010 numbers.
We know the central city was
struck hard in the quakes and a
lot of building stock, including
hotels, were lost. A number of
hotels have re-opened, two more
are in the process of substantial
refurbishment or repairs, and
new ones are in the pipeline,
such as the Holiday Inn Express
on Gloucester St, scheduled to
open next year.
I was lucky enough to attend
the game on Saturday, but I
know thousands more watched
from local bars and restaurants,
as well as the temporary fan
zone on Poplar St in the Innovation
Precinct.
Locals also embraced
travelling Lions by offering beds
and campervan parking spots
through the unofficial “Adopt a
Lions Fan” Facebook page.
This all shows that in spite of
greater Christchurch’s ongoing
tourism challenges, the area
is very much on the map and
heading in the right direction.
As a community, we can do
our part by helping domestic
and international visitors see
Christchurch the way we do –
not as a broken place, but a city
of opportunity.

Readers respond to a
transport expert’s calls for
the city council to reduce
speed limits in a bid to
improve safety
Allan and Maureen
Goulstone, Aidanfield – We
are residents in the Anthony
Wilding Retirement Village in
Aidanfield. We like your article
on lowering speed limits in the
June 8 edition of The Star. We
feel that speed limits should
be reduced around retirement
villages as well as the list you
gave. For the two and a half
years we have lived here, I’ve
battled to have the 80km/h
speed limit on a 0.9km section of
Halswell Rd, between Dunbars
and Hendersons Rds, reduced
to 60km/h, in line with the
speed limit from Dunbars Rd
through the Halswell village. I
feel I’ve been playing ping-pong
with the authorities on this. It’s
a national transport authority
decision, apparently. So no-one
will do anything. The limit, as it
stands, seems to me to be quite
ridiculous.
One other aspect of this is that
there is a bus stop serving the
Orange Line on the east side of
Halswell Rd ‘opposite’ Aidanfield
Dr. Our residents have to run to
get across the road, taking their
lives in their hands to do so.
Blessings on your work. May it
succeed beyond expectation.
Carmina Blewett,
Redwood – Living my entire 17
years in Redwood’s winding and
narrow Barnes Rd, I have grown
up to witness, on a daily basis,
the excessive speeds hoons and
reckless drivers alike strive to
outside my gate. Is 60km/h really
an appropriate speed limit with
oncoming vehicles, and pets and
children on the road side?
Matthew Tansey – The
(transport expert) is a bike riding
dreamer. Don’t wreck our new
city any further with your stupid
lower speed limits and your
segregated bike lanes that make it
dangerous for every car driver.
Christine Schuler – Who
gets up to 50km/h outside malls
or schools (far too many people
waiting to pick up kids)? It’s nothing
to do with speed, it’s poorly
designed roads and congestion.

SAFETY FIRST: Traffic expert
Glen Koorey says speed
limits near schools, shopping
centres and on windy narrow
roads should be lowered.
PHOTO: CANTERBURY
UNIVERSITY
Andrea Lamont – The so
called traffic experts should not
have diverted all the traffic to
main roads where schools are
and cut off the many routes to
get there. This includes diverting
traffic to malls, adding
lights, islands, no parking lanes
and bus stops. It is not the speed
creating the crashes, it is the
confusion. The road rules say
one thing, the signs say another.
Katherine Zeg – Why?
Nobody does 30, not even the
police. Why don’t you not look
at the speed, but the fact that
people are too busy looking
down at their phones or not
crossing at the lights? Why is
it always just the speed of cars
that’s the problem?
Tamsin Carter – Better
policing is needed to enforce the
current 40km/h limit outside
schools. I was once overtaken
by a courier van when sticking
to 40km/h outside a school in
the morning when the extra
signs were lit. Some people will
just not obey the rules and need
to be stopped by police when
they speed past a school.
Immigration reform
NEW Zealand is
a country built on
immigration.
When new migrants
arrive in our cities and
our country, we are all
the better for it. My
own family arrived in a couple
of waves of migration in the late
19th and early 20th centuries
from England and Ireland. We
all have our family migration
histories, whether it be a waka,
sailing ship, boat or plane. We’ve
always welcomed migrants in this
country and will continue to do
so.
A Government’s job is to ensure
that the number of people arriving
matches our economic needs and
ability to cope with the population
growth. In recent years, the
National Government has failed
to do this. Since 2013, immigration
has been more than four
times what was planned for – that
means 130,000 more people than
expected have settled here. National
hasn’t made the necessary
investments in public services and
infrastructure to support new arrivals.
This has contributed to the
housing crisis, put pressure on our
health system and schools, and
added to the congestion on roads.
This week, Labour announced
moderate and sensible reforms
to immigration that will reduce
the pressure on cities, while still
making sure our businesses and
regions can access the skilled
workers our country needs. We
have reviewed the system and
found ways to end abuse of the
system, particularly the backdoor
immigration through low-value
education.
Businesses facing genuine skills
shortages will be able to get the
skilled migrants they need. Labour’s
KiwiBuild and Exceptional
Skills Visas will help bring in
skilled workers for construction
and areas like IT and health.
This is not about slashing immigration.
In fact immigration will
continue above levels overseen by
either Helen Clark or John Key.
It’s about taking a breather and
ensuring that all New Zealanders,
whether their families have been
here for five generations or five
days, have access to great housing,
schools and healthcare.

Philip Norman
Composer scores grant to keep
Dr Philip Norman has been granted a $100,000 Michael King
Fellowship to pursue a lifetime project about New Zealand
composers. He spoke with Gabrielle Stuart about burning
bras, brutal reviews and making money out of music
How how did you get the news
of this grant?
I got the call about a fortnight
ago. It was a lovely surprise.
Who wouldn’t like to be offered
$100,000 to pursue one of their
projects? This is something I’ve
been working on for a while, but
the fellowship means I can concentrate
on it, turn down other
work, and get it done.
How long have you been
working on this?
I would dread to think. I
started this project in 1978 when
I began studying for my PHD
at the University of Canterbury,
before I realised it was too big a
project to do in that time. So I
put in a year on it then, and add
to that another 10,000 hours
every few years since.
You’ve already written a bibliography
with stories of about
120 New Zealand composers. I
have to confess, I didn’t know
we had so many composers
here.
You can actually add one or
two to that – there are about
1200 people out there composing.
If I listed all of them that
would be the whole word count
of the book right there, but it
would look like a phonebook.
So this will focus just on people
who have had a real impact with
their work.
It’s funny really, today we’ve
got many, many people composing
because computer technology
makes so much possible.
But go back 100 years, and there
were thousands of people composing
then. It was something
you had a go at, because of
course there was no radio or
music recordings, so for many
people that was their source of
entertainment. Many people
were something else by day
and composer by night.
Is being based here at
the bottom of the world,
an advantage or disadvantage
to composers?
I found it to be a huge
disadvantage, principally
because the world’s cultural
traffic flows southward. It comes
from London and New York
and trickles down until it finally
one day arrives in Invercargill.
It makes it hard for New
Zealand composers to
swim against that tide,
because you don’t
have that huge
promotional
machinery behind you that they
do in those cities. Having said
that, I wouldn’t wish to live in
London or New York. The advantages
of being here outweigh
the difficulties.
Your pieces have been performed
in some amazing theatres
and venues across the world
– what are some that have stood
out?

writing about his love for music
I’ve actually hardly ever been
overseas. The life of a composer
is not well remunerated, so it’s
not something I could afford to
do.
That’s a real shame.
I think it’s very sad, although
I’m biased of course. But the
reality is the royalty I get for a
piece performed at a concert
wouldn’t be sufficient to buy a
programme, let alone fly across
the world.
But actually, what excites me
the most is having my pieces
performed in front of my own
audiences, my own people here.
It’s nice to say something you
wrote has been performed in
Timbuktu, but it’s more special
to have people you love watching
it. It gives me great pride to see
someone take the time to learn
and put their heart and soul into
performing my work, it doesn’t
matter if it’s one person or 100.
What was the first instrument
you learned?
I learned the cello when I was
eight or nine, so it was taller than
I was. My mother was a music
teacher, and a great source of
inspiration and help. But what
really lit my fire was Gilbert and
Sullivan musicals at school. My
friends and I used to write comic
ICONIC: The Adamstown Theatre in Australia performing the
Footrot Flats musical, one of the most successful shows Philip
Norman has written music for.
operettas during our school
holidays – I’m not sure if that’s a
normal pastime? But one of the
first we performed at school was
all about the women’s liberation
meetings at Parliament. I still remember
the opening line: Burn
the bra, burn the bra! That was
very risqué then, so we loved it.
After school, did your family
ever tell you to get a real job?
My father often used that
line. He was a headmaster, so
that made for an interesting
childhood. But my father also
always had a creative streak,
so he had admiration for the
fact I was using my creativity. I
was determined, even at 18, to
make a career out of music. So
at university I wrote, again with
friends, a series of musicals.
One had a wonderful title, Stiff
Luck to the Undertaker, and it
went quite well. It was difficult at
times. I was privileged to be part
of the team writing the Footrot
Flats musical and, after the hours
of work spent on it, I said if I
couldn’t get a decent return, I
would give it up. But fortunately
it did well.
Have you ever had to turn to
other work, to pay the bills?
Actually no, I haven’t had to
do the traditional things like
flip burgers at McDonald’s, so I
count myself enormously privileged.
I haven’t really ever undertaken
something just because I
have needed the money, either –
I have always been interested in
it. But perhaps that’s also because
I have wide interests.
What are some reviews of
your work that have stood out
to you over the years?
You mean times I’ve been
roasted? There have been
many. One I really rather relish
was from one of the London
critics, who are known for their
savagery. One said I should be
noted for writing one of the
world’s first tune-free musicals.
I didn’t appreciate it at the time,
but I do rather appreciate that
now.
You’ve also earned many
honours and accolades for your
work. Which has meant the
most to you?
Receiving the Companion of
the New Zealand Order of Merit.
That was something really quite
special.
Outside your work, what are
some of your pet passions?
Well, pets actually. My current
delight is a pet rabbit by
the name of Harvey. Harvey
Norman. There’s something
about this rabbit, he’s been a real
joy. My children are also a real
source of joy. It’s incredibly interesting
seeing them develop into
skilled and fascinating young
adults.
What are your musical guilty
pleasures?
I’m of the belief there are no
musical guilty pleasures. Whatever
you enjoy is worth listening
to. I admit I get very moved by
the sound of bagpipes, and jazz
has been something I’ve loved for
years. So I do have eclectic tastes.
So you would listen to a rap
song every now and then?
I’m full of admiration for some
rap, actually. This is the street
poetry of now, and the voice of
youth. I predict before too long
there will be university studies of
rap, there probably already are.
With all styles of music, there
are bad examples and well done
examples. With rap some of the
worst is terrible, but in the best
there is a lot to admire.

Community digs in to help improve local environment
Christchurch West Melton Zone Committee
By Arapata Rueben, Zone Committee Chair
A big thank you
to those of you in
Christchurch who
showed up last
month to help
clean up some
of our wonderful
Christchurch
waterways.
Over 750 people participated in the
“Mother of all Clean Ups 2017” and nearly
9 tonnes of rubbish was collected from
the 156 kilometres of river bank bordering
the Avon and Heathcote Rivers, Kerrs
Reach and the Avon-Heathcote Estuary.
The largest culprit in the rubbish stakes
was plastic, with hundreds of carrier
bags, food wrappers, straws and bottles
being pulled from the rivers. The good
news was that less rubbish was collected
this year than in 2016. I like to think that
this is because the clean ups are making
a difference and that they are also making
people stop and think about how they
dispose of their rubbish and the impact
that dropping litter on the ground has
on the environment.
At the meeting last month of the
Christchurch West Melton Zone
Committee the Avon Otakaro Network
gave an update on plans for the 12
kilometre City to Sea river trail which
will open in stages from Spring this year.
The trail is expected to be completed in
early 2018 and you will be able walk, run
or cycle from Barbadoes Street to Pages
Road in New Brighton. For now though,
residents are able to use sections of the
trail as they are completed, so make the
most of this new facility and get out and
enjoy our river.
Work is continuing to undertake plantings
on the Port Hills to help with sediment
control and an aerial seeding programme
has been completed in some areas. The
Port Hills Volunteer planting days are
continuing throughout June so if you are
keen to be involved, the meeting place is
Princess Margaret Hospital on Saturday
June 17, Thursday June 22 and Saturday
June 24 from 12.15 – 4.00pm. Volunteer
spaces are limited so you do need to
register. Many thanks to Environment
Canterbury for providing transport for
volunteers from the hospital up to the
hill. For any queries about the volunteer
days, please contact Ranger Di Carter,
di.carter@ccc.govt.nz.

And finally, this month Environment
Canterbury has launched an information
campaign, helping people in our cities
and towns to become more informed
about the action being taken across the
region to protect our precious water. This
year, Environment Canterbury is working
closely with farmers as strict new rules
are implemented, rules which limit the
effects of farming on water quality. You

Window dressing
No matter whether your garden is big or small, there’s
plenty more room to grow on the windowsill says
Rachel Vogan
.kiwi
Thursday June 15 2017
TIMES CHANGE and so do gardens.
This winter sees me relocating to a new
abode; a barn conversion. I have had a
seismic shift of sorts, going from a large
established garden to nothing. I am back
to the start-from-scratch scenario, and it’s
both fun and challenging.
Therefore, my crops this winter have to
be portable, productive, tasty and easy to
grow.
As there is little room for much outside
just yet, all my edibles are growing on the
windowsills around the new dwelling. It’s
almost like living in an apartment.
1. ROCKET
Where, oh where, would I be without
rocket? I grow both the perennial and
annual types and through winter the
serrated peppery leaves of the come-again
variety are one of my go-to crops. Either
sow seeds now or treat yourself to some
seedlings. The trick to keep the leaves
coming is to pick and harvest on a regular
basis. Not a lot of root room is required
either, so a plant will readily grow in a
takeaway coffee cup, if the container starts
to get a bit ratty, slip a new one underneath
the original one. Too easy.
2. BASIL
Yes, crazy I know, but it will keep growing
as a cutting in a glass of water over winter
if your kitchen doesn’t drop below 10 deg
C very often. And, so far, mine is chugging
away with plenty of vigour, mostly due
to the log burner, which is constantly
burning to keep the temperatures from
plummeting.
3. PARSLEY
What a campaigner this crop is. The curly
type is happy as, quietly hanging out on
the windowsill. I use a lot of it, so it never
gets too leggy. Pinch the stalks right back to
the base of the plant to keep the new flush
of flavour-filled leaves coming through
quicker and faster.
4. KALE & THE CABBAGE FAMILY
When I first started growing kale on the
windowsill I thought this would fail to get
past microgreens stage, but it didn’t. In
The magazine for
gardeners who
like To geT Their
hands dirTy
fact, it’s been one of the best crops. And
what’s even better is that I am using it far
more often as it is so handy, and is quite
sweet when the leaves are about thumb
size.
5. LETTUCE
The frilly lettuces are thriving. Whilst they
can get a bit leggy if I give them too much
water, or leave them too long between
harvest, they quickly re-grow new leaves
once I pluck them or give them a haircut
with the nail scissors. I rotate the pots
every few days so as the plants retain an
even shape.
7. SUPER SPROUTS
Goodness in a jar. Are sprouted seeds
your thing? Well, they never used to be
mine and now I use them most days. All
you need is a jar, a spot with good light,
some water and seeds, and you are in
business. Too easy. Consider having three
jars on the go at any one time, and soak
new seeds twice a week – this way you will
never run out.
8. MICROGREENS
These pint-sized seedlings are just the
ticket in winter. They are bigger than
sprouted seeds, but smaller than salad
leaves. Last year I grew them for the first
time and this year they are making an
appearance once again. I sow them into
those shallow takeaway containers with a
few holes poked into the bottom.
9. ARTHRITIS HERB – GOTU KOLA
(CENTELLA ASIATICA)
This wee gem is sensitive to frost, so
it needs to be tucked up inside. It will
cope with a spot away from direct light,
especially if the windowsill is getting a bit
full with other crops. I grow mine in the
bathroom.
I grow this purely for medicinal reasons; it
helps ease general aches and pains and has
definitely helped reduce my blood pressure.
Some people swear it eases arthritic pain.
Two leaves a day does the trick, easily
chopped finely into a salad
or thrown in with the greens for a
smoothie.
COMPACT: Little lettuce (left) and gotu
kola are easy to grow in tight spaces.
Rocket (below) needs to be picked on
a regular basis.

ALAS, POOR Yorick, I did not
know you well in this version of
verbal mayhem.
A male-dominated piece with
much clowning by the leads as they
took the mickey out of Shakespeare
using a video format. Instead of
something rotten in the state of
Denmark there was something
comedic as the trio spoofed the
original.
Not really a farce, in spite of the
rapid entrances and exits, more of
a parody. Being familiar with the
traditional version of the classic
helps with the humour, but even
without such knowledge there were
plenty of laughs there for all. It all
worked, even the simplest scene of
one character getting another character’s
name mispronounced.
Dan Bain, Kathleen Burns and
Jared Corbin can feel well pleased
with their performances as the audience’s
laughter kept on coming.
The show runs until June 24. Well
worth checking out.
Choir in harmony with art gallery
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
WHEN MUSICAL director
Ravil Atlas first heard the
acoustics in the Christchurch
Art Gallery Te Puna o
Waiwhetu, he was determined
to bring more choral
performances to the space.
When Atlas heard his
Christchurch Pops Choir
singing at a
casual afternoon
performance, he
decided he needed
to bring his advanced
choir in to
perform.
Ravil Atlas
Now his choir,
known as the AtlasVoices
Ensemble,
will transform the gallery
into a majestic state performing
Echo: The Glory of Cathedral
Acoustic, a repertoire of music,
which Atlas describes as being
built entirely around the art gallery’s
acoustics.
He said the acoustics give him
fond memories of being in a
cathedral – something choirs in
the city miss.
Audiences can expected to be
transported back to the Renaissance
period with the concert
featuring music from composers
Giovanni Gabrieli, Tomás
MUSICAL: Members of the AtlasVoices Ensemble
performing at The Piano: Centre for Music and the Arts.
Luis de Victoria and Giovanni
Pierluigi da Palestrina.
Atlas said in the time that the
choir has been running, this
concert has been their biggest
challenge yet. They will use
their voices to create layers of
melody known as polyphony
music.
But the choir will also present
an array of songs from modern
composers, including Eric
Whitacre’s anchor piece When
David Heard.
Atlas said the piece has a
chord which requires the choir
to sing every note on the keyboard
at the same time.
“It is like putting your arm on
the whole organ . . . it is a tidal
wave of grief,” Atlas said.
The choir was founded in
2013 as an offshoot of the
Christchurch School of Music to
give singers in the community
something more to do.
The choir is made up of performers
from Showbiz Christchurch,
Christchurch Pops Choir,
New Zealand Opera and former
Burnside High School students
Atlas has taught.
Atlas has an extensive performing
career, playing the Jean
Valjean in the San Francisco
broadway company version of
Les Miserables and the phantom
in Phantom of the Opera.
He recently featured as a mentor
on TVNZ’s The Naked Choir
and was excited Christchurchbased
modern a cappella academy
Voices Co is now on the
map after winning the show.
Next up Atlas will be preparing
a repertoire of music for the
opening of the Christchurch
Arts Festival in August.
•Echo: The Glory of

be performed at the art
gallery this Saturday. To

The actor behind the mask
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
USING FACIAL expressions to
express a story is normally an
actor’s lifeline for executing a
great stage performance.
But not for Andrew Ford, 34,
who has delved into mastering
the art of deception and disguise
in a show featuring predominantly
masked
characters.
Auckland-based
Ford, who grew
up in Sumner,
will set foot on
the Isaac Theatre
Andrew
Ford
Royal stage as a
bombastic villain
in a comedy about
love, death and preserves.
He said the show has been a
challenge because he has had to
emphases his body movements
and voice, rather than rely on
the simplicity of facial expressions.
“It is great because it gives you
permission to give really big,
larger than life performances,
which I enjoy doing,” the former
Hagley Theatre Company student
said.
As part of Indian Ink Theatre
Company’s 20th anniversary national
tour, Ford has been cast as
COMEDY: Andrew Ford as George Reaper and Vanessa Kumar
playing Anmachy in The Pickle King.
George Reaper in the company’s
award-winning play, The Pickle
King.
He describes his character as
over-the-top, flamboyant and in
love with the sound of his own
voice.
Ford has had a colourful
career since he graduated from
Auckland’s Unitec in 2008.
Five times Ford has performed
in Christchurch’s Anthony
Harper Summer Theatre show
and was recently in this year’s
performance of Robin Hood.
Shortland St fans may have
seen Ford make a guest appearance
on the soap as an “insensitive
doctor”.
He said things happen very
quickly behind the scenes and
actors need to be at the top of
their game.
Although a comedy, The
Pickle King tells the story of a
blind receptionist working at a
crumbling hotel in Wellington
who believes she is cursed as
everyone she loves dies.
In spite of the curse, she falls
in love with a another hotel
employee and at the same time
a mysterious new guest (Ford)
checks into the hotel who she
believes to be the Grim Reaper.
“For me, the main message
about the show, and it may be
corny, is about having the courage
to love someone . . . she feels
cursed but still falls in love,”
Ford said.
As part of Indian Ink’s anniversary
celebrations, the original
performance of The Pickle King
about 15 years ago has been
changed from a heterosexual to
a same sex love story.
Ford said very little of the
script needed to be adapted and
it was nice to see audiences were
accepting of the gender change
in the show.
The show also touches on
immigration and the difficulty
many face when they move to
a new country and find their
qualifications mean nothing.
•The Pickle King will run
at the Isaac Theatre Royal
from today until Saturday.

will also be run by Indian Ink

DMZ – where tourism and terror collide
• By Mike Yardley
IT’S THE racket blasting from
the loudspeakers that is still
ringing in my ears.
From the south, soaring operatic
ballads and K-Pop are belted
out, while from the north, a mix
of angry sermons and bombastic
propaganda songs salute the Dear
Leader.
Galloping across the
countryside for 250km, with
a 2km-wide buffer zone either
side of the border, the razor wire
stretches into infinity. I joined a
DMZ day-trip from Seoul, which
is a mere 50km drive away from
the border.
As we drove towards the great
divide, either side of the highway
was laced with elaborate reams
of razor wire, while manned
military look-outs studded the
roadside, in full battle readiness.
Within the buffer zone, tank
traps and land mines stalk the
countryside. My guide, Moon,
remarked there’s an estimated
two million land mines still in
the DMZ from the Korean War –
after a million have already been
cleared.
Panmunjeom is where the
armistice agreement was signed
in 1953. You’ll recognise those
United Nations-blue buildings,
the site of the world’s most
famous face-off, where South and
North Korean soldiers stare interminably
at each other through
sunglasses.
In spite of the macho sense of
theatre, the air hangs heavy with
unblinking hostility. All DMZ
tours begin at Imjingak, which
HISTORY: The infiltration tunnels aren’t for the faint-hearted. You can walk underground into the north. Right – Dorasan Station
was built to connect Seoul with Pyeongyang. It is largely unused.
features a variety of monuments
in memory of the Korean War.
An 83m bridge, used in the exchange
of 13,000 POWs, is lauded
as the Freedom Bridge.
Nearby, the blasted carcass of
an original steam locomotive,
which desperately made it back
across the Imjin River just as war
broke out, riddled with the scars
of 1020 bullet holes.
Imjingak is also the entry point
into the Third Infiltration Tunnel,
the biggest of four tunnels identified
by the South Koreans since
1974, although there’s apparently
another 20 that haven’t been
spotted yet. Dug by the North
Koreans with the intent of being
able to spring a surprise invasion
on the south, these tunnels aren’t
for the faint-hearted.
Issued with a hard hat, the third
infiltration tunnel leads you 73m
underground, along a 2m wide
by 2m high passage. I felt like the
hunchback of Notre Dame, but
it’s a searing and slightly spooky
encounter to traverse the border,
subterranean-style.
This tunnel, which is large
enough to enable 30,000 soldiers
to tromp through in an hour, was
discovered in 1978 after a defector
tipped off the south.
Another striking stop was
Dorasan Station, a $40 billion
beacon of hope, built 15 years
ago with a view of re-connecting
Seoul and Pyeongyang by rail.
Just 700m from the southern
boundary line of the DMZ, it’s
utterly bizarre to admire this
sparkling yet haplessly underused
train station.
The shiny international customs
hall has never screened a
passenger. A few daily services
run to Seoul, but services to the
North have been on ice since
the North Koreans slammed the
border crossing shut in 2008.
Should Korea be re-united,
Moon says the dream is Dorasan
Station would not only connect
Seoul with Pyeongyang,
but would connect with the vast
Eurasian services like the Trans-
Siberian.
The undeniable highlight was
soaking up the raw cross-border
drama of Dora Observatory.
This lookout serves up the most
intimate view of the north, from
South Korea, as if you can reach
out and touch it, while being assaulted
by those blaring loudspeakers.
With the naked eye, I gazed
down at the streams of barbed
wire along the border, across into
North Korean villages. With the
mounted binoculars, I could see
locals wandering around and a
massive statue of Kim Il-sung,
while the Propaganda Village
touts one of the tallest flags in
the world.
In a classic case of boys will be
boys, the south and north have
played ping-pong for years over
their respective border flagpoles.
The south started the tussle by
erecting a 50m-high flag. Back
and forth they went, outdoing
one another, until the north triumphed
in this battle of attrition,
mounting a 160m-high flagpole.
The flag alone weighs a whopping
300kg. The south threw in
the towel at 110m. The Propaganda
Village is so named because it’s
widely believed that the brightly
coloured buildings are just shells
and are uninhabited.
Even Hollywood would be
left blushing at the sheer scale of
this elaborate set. For me, that
summed up the weirdness of the
DMZ.
A strange, surreal, unsettling
place, where terror and tourism
collide, at one of the world’s flash
points.
INTRIGUE: The blasted carcass of a steam locomotive, riddled with more than 1000 bullet holes. Centre – The Freedom Bridge
and border fortifications. Right – The joint security area where soldiers face-off.
FAST FACTS
•In spite of the current crisis,
day trips from Seoul to
the DMZ remain fiendishly
popular. Every day, 5000
visitors are allowed access
to the buffer zone, while
500 people can also enter
the joint security area at
Panmunjeom. Book well in

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK - JUNE 19-25
Time
and
talent
More than 300 volunteers give tens of
thousands of hours of their time, skills and
compassion to Nurse Maude each and every
year, working across the whole organisation.
Their philosophy is to enhance the quality
of patient care and services and they are
an integral part of Nurse Maude, working
in the Nurse Maude Hospice, hospital,
administration, across the hospice shops
and in the gardens of Nurse Maude.
For Nurse Maude it means being able
to offer a lot more than nursing care,
particularly in the hospice and hospital.
Over the past year Nurse Maude has also
had volunteers in the community, providing
those caring for family members much
needed respite care in their own homes.
Caring for a family member with complex
needs, including those with dementia, in
your own home is a full-on proposition.
Nurse Maude recognises that family can
find it almost impossible to get someone to
come into their home they can rely on and
who is trained and supported to provide the
respite care that allows them to take a short
break.
Sue Bramwell, Nurse Maude’s GM
Marketing, says the contribution of Nurse
Maude’s volunteers is significant.
“To volunteer time and talent to make a
difference in the lives of others is no small
thing,” says Bramwell. “We, and those we
care for, are incredibly fortunate that our
volunteers are willing to give up what is
really a very precious commodity, their
time, to support our work.”
Volunteering a chance to share
This year’s theme for National Volunteer
Week is: “Live, laugh, share – Volunteer”, or,
“Kia ringa hora: Me mahi tuao” – a positive
message celebrating what volunteers bring to
their communities.
Volunteering Canterbury is proud of the way
that the region’s people get out in the community
and volunteer “in the bad times – and the notso-bad!”,
Volunteering Canterbury’s outreach
and marketing manager Glenda Martin says.
“We see it every day in every sector across the
community. Volunteering is something that we
just do well.”
As Glenda points out, in every city there will
be people who get out and do something for
another person. It could be as simple as helping
a neighbour who may be unwell or looking after
a pet while a friend is on holiday.
“That’s the informality of volunteering,” she
says.
“On top of that there is the more formal
volunteering, for a common good, and that is
as much in demand as ever in and around our
region. Volunteers pack and distribute 3000 bags
of fruit and vegetables throughout Christchurch
each week, for example.
“Whether we acknowledge it or not, there are
deprived areas in our city – 65 per cent of those
fruit and vegetable packs are going in to those
areas. Alongside that sit community lunches
– serving up wholesome meals prepared by
volunteers and often with gifted produce.”
Red Cross humanitarian services manager
Carol Ball says a lot of that organisation’s
programmes couldn’t run without volunteers.
“They are almost the lifeblood of the
organisation,” she says.
Programmes in which Red Cross volunteers
provide services include Meals on Wheels, for
which they give more than two hours a week,
We sincerely thank our
wonderful volunteers for
their valuable contribution
to Orana Wildlife Park.
and community transport, for which volunteers
work almost a full day, either once a week or
once a fortnight.
Carol says there are close to 1000 Red Cross
volunteers in Christchurch, who continue
volunteering for many years.
“This can be up to 20, 40 even up to 60 years.
We recently gave two 30-year presentations –
that’s not uncommon.”
Volunteering with one of Volunteering
Canterbury’s member organisations is just the
‘tip of the iceberg’ of volunteering happening in
the region, Glenda says. Even so, it equates to
the equivalent of 149 full-time volunteers in the
community on any given day of the year. And,
using the minimum wage as a base rate, this
Huge thanks
to our volunteers!
is a monetarised contribution to the region of
approximately $4.7 million.
“It’s what it looks like at the other end – the
actual impact of the volunteering, that makes
our work so humbling. Last year, 36,000 people
in our region were impacted by volunteers of
our member organisations.
“We all have skills that can help others.
Volunteering is good for you, your community
and for the social development of our city.
It helps build the social fabric that keeps us
connected and engaged.”

opportunities in Canterbury, contact
Volunteering Canterbury www.volcan.org.nz
or phone 366-2442.
It’s Volunteer Awareness Week and New Zealand Red Cross wants
to thank all our amazing volunteers. The programmes we deliver to
vulnerable people in New Zealand communities are diverse and
far-reaching – and we simply couldn’t do it without you!

cages, must produce the

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

Armstrong takes out first win
In Brief
• By Gordon Findlater
MARCUS Armstrong’s drive
towards his formula one dream
picked up pace with his first
win in the ADAC Formula 4
Championship at the weekend.
The 16-year-old adapted well
to his first outing at the Red
Bull Ring
in Austria,
dominating
in qualifying
with the
fastest lap
time of 1min
29.954sec.
He then
drove from
Marcus
Armstrong
pole to win
the opening
race of the
weekend – his first victory of
the championship.
“It’s a great feeling to be
celebrating this victory with my
team. I’m obviously dreaming
of the title, but at the moment,
only winning counts for me.
Our car was so fast, I couldn’t
even see what was going on
behind me,” said Armstrong.
He backed up the win with
two solid performances in
the final two races on Sunday,
finishing third in both. The
results mean that he now moves

up to third in the championship
standings after three rounds
and is 29 points behind
championship leader and Prema
Powerteam teammate Juri Vips
from Estonia.
The next event in the sevenround
championship will be
held at Oschersleben, Germany,
from July 7-9.
Last year, Armstrong was
picked up by the Ferrari Driver
Academy.
He was in New Zealand over
the summer and competed in
the Toyota Racing Series, which
he finished fourth in.
Armstrong is also currently
competing in the Italian
Formula 4 Championship
with Prema Powerteam and
is currently fourth in the
championship standings after
two rounds.
SCHOOL CROSS-COUNTRY
Ascot Golf Course will host the
National Secondary Schools
Cross-Country Championships
this weekend. Saturday sees the
running of the individual and
school team championship events.
On Sunday, competitors will
race in the regional relay, which
Canterbury dominated last year,
winning four of the six titles and
getting medals in the other two.
St Bede’s College student Nick
Moulai, who broke a nine-year-old
under-17 3000m national track
and field record in December, will
be among the favourites.
SHARPE TAKES OVER AS
COUNTRY CRICKET COACH
Michael Sharpe will return
to the Canterbury Country
Cricket fold next season with
his appointment as coach of
the senior representative team.
Sharpe played most of his cricket
for Sefton, including 50 matches
for the senior team. Following a
playing career that involved 31
first class and 33 one-day games
for Canterbury, he turned to
coaching, which has also involved
time with the Canterbury side
and New Zealand under-19s. He
replaces Shanan Stewart, who as a
player-coach in 30 games, won and
defended the Hawke Cup.

THREE YOUNG footballers
can now call themselves
teammates at club, provincial

Rebecca Lake, 18, Lily Bray,
16, and Emma Clarke, 17, are
used to lining up together
for both Coastal Spirit in the
Mainland Women’s Premier
League and the Canterbury

Women’s League.
The trio will now represent
New Zealand together at next
month’s under-19 Oceania
Women’s Championship in
Auckland after being named
in coach Gareth Turnbull’s
20-strong squad. The championship
winner will qualify
for next year’s under-20 World
Cup.
Lake was a regular in New

last year’s under-17 World Cup
in Jordan. She along with Bray
and Clarke will now push their
case for a spot in the under-20
World Cup in France.

CANTERBURY Cricket
will implement changes to
transform the junior game next
summer.
Juniors will now start their
cricket journey on grounds
with shorter pitches, smaller
boundaries and with less fielders,
to enable a faster paced
game with increased activity.
Canterbury Cricket believes
the changes will result in more
balls in play, more runs scored
and increased fielder activity.
The changes include a reduction
in pitch length from 20m
to 16-18m, depending on the
group’s stage, limited boundary
sizes and either seven or nine
players on the field.
Players will progress to playing
on the full-sized adult pitch,

me hungry to push my case for
another World Cup,” said Lake.
Midfielder Bray has previously
represented New Zealand
in a tournament in China and
at just 16 will be eligible for the
development stages: The under-
10/11s and the under-12/13s.
The changes are based on
extensive research and piloting
by Cricket Australia and have
been endorsed by New Zealand
Cricket, which expects the
next two under-20 World Cups.
It’s a new experience for
right-back Clarke. The qualifying
tournament will be her
first time representing New
Zealand.

honest when I got the news,”
changes to be implemented
country-wide in the 2018/19
season.
Feedback from the pilot programmes
in Australia showed
that a shorter pitch resulted in
fewer wides and no balls, and
the match scorecards showed
that there were more balls in
the hitting zone for the batsmen.
Canterbury Cricket chief
executive Lee Germon urged
people to consider the changes
as a great opportunity for children
to develop their skills in a
fun and engaging way.
“Some of these formats are
already being played successfully
throughout Canterbury
and this will ensure consistency
throughout our province,” said
Germon.

connection. He coached the
Coastal women’s premier side
from 2009 to 2012, before
moving on to coach the Pride,
leading them to national titles
in 2013 and 2014.
Turnbull was no mug on the
field himself and is regarded as
one of Coastal’s greatest players.
He previously held the Mainland

develop their skills, experience
more success, build greater
confidence and be more involved
in each game.
“I’m confident that these
changes are the most important
Canterbury Cricket will make
to junior participation,” said
Germon.
A road show of information
sessions will be developed with
local cricket associations in
Canterbury over the winter,
which will provide the opportunity
for parents, children and
others involved in cricket to understand
and ask any questions
about the formats.
Germon finishes up with
Canterbury Cricket at the end

Kevin Proctor set to make return for Titans following drug ban
GOLD COAST forward Kevin
Proctor is poised to make his
NRL return from a four-match
illicit drug ban with the Titans
facing a tricky task to make the
finals.
Proctor copped the suspension
from the Titans – as well as a
$20,000 fine – after being caught
using what was believed to be
cocaine in Canberra on May 5
following the Anzac test.
Chris McQueen, who often
partnered with Proctor in the
second row for the Titans, told
AAP Proctor’s chomping at the
bit after spending seven weeks
on the sideline. The Titans take
on the South Sydney Rabbitohs
in Sydney tomorrow night.
“He’d be a massive inclusion
for us, the suspension’s been
burning away at him. I’m expecting
a big game for him this
week,” McQueen said.
“He knows how to win games
and he’s not scared of the hard
work, he’s more than willing to
put his body on the line for the
team.
Latest Christchurch news at www.
.kiwi
“He brings a lot of leadership,
we have still got a lot of young
guys who haven’t got a lot of
experience and to have a guy like
him is invaluable.”
Proctor’s last match for the
Titans was their 38- 8 win over
Newcastle in round nine and,
since he’s been banned, Gold
Coast have lost three of their last
four fixtures.
A veteran of 186 games,
Proctor averages 25 tackles per
game this season and his stability
in defence is much needed with
the Titans conceding the third
highest amount of tries in the
NRL.
The 13th-placed Titans are out
of form losing their last three
games on the trot, but McQueen
is demanding a fight for the rest
of the season.
“Mathematically speaking, I
think we’ve only got two or three
losses in us for the rest of the
year,” McQueen said.
“We’ve put ourselves into a
difficult position but we’re going
to fight until the end of the year.”

• By Ross Kiddie
OVER THE years I’ve
made no secret of the fact
that I like sports sedans.
If you add that to my
desire for Lexus product,
and the IS series in total,
then you’d have to agree
that I’m a little bit smitten
with the latest IS – a
series that lands with three
engine options.
Topping the line-up
is a 3-litre V6 petrol at
$107,900, there’s the 2.5-
litre hybrid driveline
($77,300 and $88,700), and
the baby of the series – the
IS200t starting at $74,300.
As its nomenclature suggests,
the latter is a 2-litre
turbocharged model and it
is a car that punches well
above its weight and, in my
opinion, is by far the pick
of the series.
Regular readers will
recall my recent evaluation
on the RC200t, Lexus’
small and sporty coupe,
it was a car I enjoyed
immensely. The IS200t uses
much the same driveline,
but as I’ve eluded to, it is
packaged in a sedan body
shell. The test car was an
F-Sport model and sits
in the line-up at $84,900
which, to my way of thinking,
is good value considering
that it is a premium car
built to all the Lexus values
of quality and performance.
It is high-specced with all
the trimmings for comfort
and convenience along
with a high level of safety.
There are no surprises,
buyers want for nothing.
Under the bonnet sits the
heart of what makes the
IS200t so special – a fourcylinder,
twin-camshaft,
turbocharged engine of
180kW and 350Nm. Both
outputs are realised low in
the rev band at 5800rpm
and 1650rpm respectively.
It drives through an eightspeed
automatic transmission,
and between the two
the flow of power is exciting,
or gentle, depending on
the conditions at any given
time.
When Lexus New
Zealand launched the new
series, motoring journalists
LEXUS IS200T: At home on-road or on the track.
were invited to the Taupo
Motorsport Park and we
were treated to laps on the
circuit under the guise of
professional race drivers. I
can report that all three variants,
yes, even the hybrid,
equipped themselves well
on track, but to me it was
the turbo model that stood
out. The gentle flow of
boost and the quiet and
refined manner with which
the engine operates is true
to the Lexus ideology.
• Price – Lexus IS200t,
$84,900
• Dimensions – Length,
4680mm; width,
1810mm; height,
1430mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
rear-wheeldrive,
1998cc, 180kW,
350Nm, eight-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.5sec
• Fuel usage –
7.5l/100km
SHAPE: The Lexus IS200t looks stylish from all angles.
What also makes the IS
rather special is the way
the chassis and suspension
has been set up. Of course,
Lexus’ engineers haven’t lost
sight of the benefits of rearwheel-drive,
and the IS is
set up so that it can be used
in a sporty environment,
the combination of sensible
spring and damper ratings
and perfect steering just
reinforces my adulation.
On my home patch I
took it west on the scenic
route to Terrace Downs. I
didn’t push too hard in the
corners, for I felt the Taupo
experience was enough to
evaluate its handling prowess.
Instead, I travelled at
a leisurely pace, soaking
up the ambience of what
makes Lexus so special as
a brand.
The IS200t travels ever
so quietly and is a joy to
be behind the wheel of. It
is smooth and feels just so
unbelievable from behind
the wheel, the steering is
like turning on velvet and
the chassis responds comfortably
to any broken surface
or directional change.
If quick acceleration is
required the engine and
gearbox respond swiftly
to throttle pressure, an
overtaking manoeuvre
can be achieved in 4sec
while a standstill to acceleration
time of 7.5sec is
just enough to release the
endorphins.
At highway speed the
engine turns over slowly
and economically at just
1750rpm, sipping fuel at
the rate of just seven litres
per 100km (40mpg). When
I took the car back the
trip computer was listing a
9l/100km (31mpg) average
which sits well with Lexus’
7.5l/100km (37mpg) claim.
The IS200t isn’t a big car,
but it does fit five without a
squeeze, the interior detailing
is such that it reeks of
quality and luxury build.
For me, though, it’s all
about performance and I
know it’s a bold statement,
but I firmly believe that as
a series the IS is one of the
world’s great all-rounders.
I applaud Lexus’ product
planners, in an age when
sedans are struggling in a
wilting market, great cars
like the IS, and others, are
rolling out of the Lexus
factories.
I’m the owner of one of
the early forerunners to the
IS series and enjoy it very
much as a daily drive. That
being the case, it would be
a natural transition to step
into an IS, and I’m desperate
to do that, the only
thing standing in my way is
I’m yet to pick the winning
Lotto balls.

CHECKLIST FOR
SELLING YOUR HOME
MAKE SMALL FIXES
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and correct
the flaws that are most egregious (if affordable) or can
be relatively easily fixed—from repairing cracks in the
walkways to repainting dingy walls or oiling creaky
hinges.
SET A PRICE
A real estate agent will give you a market analysis free
of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the market, then
ask to see listings for properties similar to yours that
have sold in the past six months.
Check out comparable listings yourself in the real
estate section of your newspaper or on websites.
Then decide whether you want a quick, easy sale or
the highest possible price.
There has never been a better time to look at
investing in the Oamaru property market! During
the last few months, real estate in the region
has seen a surge in the number of properties
being listed and sold, with some great options in
investment to be found.
Oamaru, is made up of four main suburbs:
Oamaru (central suburb), Oamaru North,
Holmes Hill and South Hill. Average values have
grown relatively comparatively across these
main suburbs and properties are selling, on
average, in about two months.
With a lot of media time in recent weeks, after
data was released showing Oamaru as the fourth
most-viewed New Zealand location on property
website Juwai, we have received a multitude of
calls from out-of-towners who are interested in
investing in property in, or moving to, the North
Otago region.
With a shortage of rentals available, investors
are seeing great returns for what they already
own, and the time is right to increase investment
portfolios. On the other hand, many folk are
also looking at making the move to our region
as they’re seeing the many benefits our lifestyle
here has to offer.
To have a chat about the local
property market, give me a call!

CLEAN & DECLUTTER
Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and “stuff”—
toss it, donate it, give it away, sell it at a yard sale,
or put it into storage—so the house seems more
spacious and buyers can imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start showing your house, keep
the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens weeded,
rooms spotless and clutter-free.
READY YOUR HOME FOR OPEN DAYS
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh flowers or
bowls of fruit, bake a batch of cookies for the homey
smell, open the drapes, keep pets out of sight.
DECIDE WHETHER TO DO YOUR OWN BUILDING
INSPECTION
It may save you time, especially with older homes,
to identify—and potentially solve—problems your
buyer’s inspection will discover later.
The Waitaki district is definitely on a roll at the
moment, and that roll looks set to continue
for quite some time yet! With agriculture,
manufacturing and tourism growing strongly
through investment and promotion, Waitaki is
attracting a lot of attention.
Lonely Planet has called Oamaru, “the coolest
town in New Zealand,” and that is a title we are
proud of. Our Council is working hard with our
community to make our district an even more
amazing place.
With so many wonderful attributes going for us,
from our natural environment through to our
built heritage, our eclectic arts and music scene,
and growing economy, we really have a place
with an amazingly positive future.
I’m proud of the sustainable growth we are
experiencing. We are improving opportunities
for our local people, and welcoming a steady but
manageable stream of new people to the area.
They are coming for better lifestyles, good jobs,
business opportunities, and in some cases to
retire. We are a friendly town and a welcoming
district.
If you want to know more, I am
just a phone call away.
