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.

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

The Star 

News..................................3-20 

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.

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

Quake buildings inquiry: No charges 


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 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

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 

pull-out beds to make the stays of 

families with sick children more 

comfortable. Mrs Triplow said they 

have been able to buy nine, and 

want to get three more. To donate,

years ago before it is opened. The 

association is working to plan a

Stadium upkeep costs soar 

SHOTS: The Brickworks – a 

bar twice held up by Roake. 

Armed robber 

should never 

be let out 

•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 

team that worked at Richie and 

Gemma McCaw’s wedding. 

He has been remanded in custody 

until sentencing on August 

23.

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 

EXPENSIVE: 

The cost of 

maintaining 

the 

temporary 

AMI 

Stadium 

has jumped, 

renewing 

calls for a 

new multipurpose 

arena to be 

built as soon 

as possible. 

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.

News 

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 

of the bartenders have taken 

their mind off things is buying 

Fitbits, a device that monitors 

how many steps you take. That 

has now turned into a bit of a 

competition. 

“I am currently winning,” the 

manager laughed. 

Responding, the bartender 

said: “It is because she goes for 

huge walks in the morning before 

I have even got up.” 

Roake’s robberies and 

shootings 

•March 10 – Tavern Harewood 

robbed at about 10.45pm. 

$18,982 was taken, but he 

dropped about $2000 while 

fleeing. 

•March 14 and 29 – The 

Brickworks was robbed 

twice. Once at about 10.45pm 

on March 14 and again at 

about 11pm on March 29 

where he shot his way into 

the bar through a locked 

door. $43,000 was taken in 

the first robbery and $12,000 

in the second. 

•March 24 – Trevinos 

Restaurant and Bar was 

robbed just before midnight.

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],” 


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. 


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. 


Hoyle said Wellington’s 

inner-city was a hotbed for 

violent offences on a Friday or 

Saturday night. – NZ Herald

Councillors frustrated 


Call for rebuild 

boss to meet 

with city hall 


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

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.

Child sex offender concern 

Meeting 

held by 

residents 


SOMERFIELD residents 

met last week to discuss the 

placement of a convicted 

child sex offender in their 

community. 

It comes after schools and residents 

were told on May 29 about 

the offender being released from 

prison and who would soon be 

living near them. 

The meeting 

was organised 

by Labour MP 

for Port Hills 

Ruth Dyson

Ms Dyson labelled the meeting 

as “extremely positive.” 

“They have really tried to engage

possible. We were told it was the

first time that Corrections have 

door-knocked residents to let 

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, 

St Peter’s and Cashmere 

High schools. 

Corrections staff were 

also going door-to-door

Changing attitudes lower the number 


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.”

The sale of lower alcohol beer

said. 

“There’s definitely a lot more

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.”

of drink drivers 

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.” 

FOCUS: Canterbury road 

policing manager Inspector 

Al Stewart says police have 

been targeting alcohol harm 

in general, and especially on 

the roads. 

NEW 

NORMAL: 

More drivers 

are drinking 

low alcohol 

beer and 

non-alcohol 

wines. 

While the number of 

people charged with drink 

driving in Canterbury has 

almost halved in the last 

10 years – changing public 

attitude has not deterred 

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 


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 

will 

protest the 

Victoria 

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 

agencies, including the 

Salvation Army, Christchurch 

Methodist Mission 

and Tenants Protection 

ON THE MARKET: The Bryndwyr state house where 

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

could be sold under a Government plan. 

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. 

The protest rally and 

march will start at 2pm 

on Saturday, at the Shands

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 

point. 

Ministry of Health spokeswoman 

Clare Perry said a 

decision on whether to charge

August, after the results for this 

month were confirmed.

Golden Oldies festival launched in 

TWO SOUTH African cricket 

legends have been named as 

ambassadors for the largest 

sporting event in Christchurch 

history. 

Cricketers 

Barry Richards 

(left) and Mike 

Procter, along 

with bowls 

maestro Gary 

Lawson, will be 

ambassadors for 

the Christchurch Casino Golden

Selwyn Maister (hockey), Julie 

Seymour (netball), Alan Stroud 

(football), Jo Edwards (lawn

The announcement was made 

at the event’s Christchurch

10 sports are combined into one 

Golden Oldies tournament. 

Event director Peter McDermott 

said they were fortunate to 

have an amazing group of sports 

advocates join its ambassador 

team. 

Sir Graham and his wife Lady Raewyn

“Our initial group of ambassadors 

was largely Canterburybased, 

recognising the importance 

of engaging the local

region first and foremost,” Mr 

McDermott said. 

“We are now focused on attracting 

up to 70 per cent of the 

forecast 10,000 participants from 

overseas and our new ambassadors, 

along with some of the very 

high profile Kiwis, will provide 

Mike Godinet, Dianne McDermott, Christine

on what I understand are four 

magnificent Christchurch golf 

courses and being back in New 

Zealand whose people are among 

the most friendly and welcoming

The event’s volunteer recruitment 

programme will begin next month, 

with about 1000 expected to be

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@ 

starmedia.kiwi. 

Those who send in the best 

photos will receive a free 

double pass to Hoyts. We 

have 10 double passes to give 

away. Winners will need to 

be able to pick up the tickets 

at 359 Lincoln Rd. For more

Complaints leave red zone 

in doubt for future concerts 


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, 


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.


Home & Leisure Show 


21 

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

Viewpoint 

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. 

•Nicky Wagner is Minister 

supporting Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

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.

Our People 


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?

“A local team for local people”



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. 

June 2017 

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.

LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER 

www.canterburywater.org 

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 

too can ‘look a little deeper’ by visiting

Gardening 


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 


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.

Theatre/Arts 

Hamlet like 

you’ve never 

seen it before 

Hamlet: The Video Game 

(the stage show) by Simon 

Peacock, directed by Gregory 

Cooper 

Reviewed by Barry 

Southam 

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 

Cathedral Acoustic will 

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.

von Trapp 

family roles 

NOT ONE, but three Cathedral 

Grammar School pupils have been 

chosen to star as the lovable von 

Trapp children in a nationwide 

tour of The Sound of Music. 

Daniel Bridgman, Eloise Parkes 

and Madeleine Glossop were 

picked out of 200 hopefuls from

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.” 

For more information on volunteering 

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!

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 

DEBUT WIN: Marcus Armstrong powers his Prema Powerteam F4 to victory in Austria. 

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 

and international level. 

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 

United Pride in the National 

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 

Zealand’s central defence at 

last year’s under-17 World Cup 

in Jordan. She along with Bray 

and Clarke will now push their

Changes to junior cricket encourage faster game 

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,

anything like the atmosphere 

in Jordan. It’s definitely made 

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. 

“I couldn’t believe it to be 

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. 

He said the modifications 


The biggest range of vehicles in one location 

said Clarke. Turnbull also has a 

strong Coastal and Canterbury 

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 

Premier League’s all-time 

leading goal-scorer record 

with 94 goals, a mark that was 

only surpassed last month by 

Cashmere Technical’s Michael 

White. 

Before the girls head to 

Auckland, they have a must 

win game for their club. Coastal 

take on Cashmere in the third 

round of the national knockout 

cup on June 24. The two 

teams are also currently level 

on points at the top of the WPL 

standings. 

“We beat them recently so 

we’re confident. The knockout 

is a competition we really want 

to progress far in,” said Clarke. 

would allow children to better 

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 

of the month to begin a role as 

Sydney Thunder general manager 

in July.

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. 


.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.

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. 

Warm regards, 

Gary Kircher 

Mayor for Waitaki
