THE AMERICA’S Cup parade 

yesterday was as Kiwi as it gets. 

About 6000 people braved 

the savage weather and 

amongst them was an old fella 

called Ron Mackie. 

We’ve got a great pic of 

Ron meeting Team NZ crew 

member Joe Sullivan (see page 

4). Ron taught Joe how to sail 

many years ago on the Waimak 

River. 

They kept in contact during 

the regatta in Bermuda via text 

and yesterday Sullivan spotted 

Ron in the crowd on Colombo 

St. When he and the other crew 

members got of the bus to walk 

alongside the fans, Sullivan 

went over and met up with 

Ron. 

Ron’s smile says it all. He 

looks very proud. 

On pages 6-7, we look at 

the police district command 

centre. 

It’s part of a series we are doing 

on policing in Canterbury. 

The DCC is the nerve centre 

of policing in the region, where 

incidents and reports are assessed, 

prioritised and dealt 

with. Interesting stuff.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw Hagley Park and Botanic Gardens 

included in the city boundary on July 10, 1922. On the same 

day in 1971, a record crowd of over 57,000 watched the All 

Blacks play the Lions at Lancaster Park. On July 11, 1879, the 

Post Office building in Cathedral Square was completed. On the 

same day in 1951, the waterfront strike ended. On July 13, 1905, 

construction of King Edward Barracks began. The building 

was completed in 25 days. In the absence of a true town hall, 

it was often the venue for large concerts and civic occasions. 

On the same day in 1945, severe gales with gusts to 145km/h 

were recorded in Canterbury. The following day saw a record 

snowfall of 280mm cover most of city (right). On July 15 to 21, 

1979, the D’oyly Carte Opera Company gave performances in 

the city.

Rapper’s WW1 tribute 

Song about 

conscription 

with opera singer 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

A RAPPER and an opera singer 

may sound like an unlikely 

combination, but honouring 

soldiers who fought in World 

War 1 has brought them 

together. 

Christchurch rapper Solomona 

Ifopo, aka MC Oblique, 

and opera singer Madison 

Nonoa have worked together to 

write and record a song, Luck 

of the Draw, about World War 1 

conscription. 

It is part of a World War 1 

Centenary project, which asked 

young artists, musicians and 

performers to create works 

inspired by war footage. 

After submitting a sample, Mr 

Ifopo said he was asked by the 

organisers to do a collaboration 

with Ms Nonoa. 

He said it came as a surprise 

at first, but he said she had an 

incredible voice and had “nailed 

it” when they met in Wellington 

last month to record the song 

with producer Rhombus. 

“I was really star struck, to be 

honest, to be working with an 

opera singer who had performed 

all over the world. Walking in I 

thought damn, what am I doing 

here, I’m so out of my league,” 

he said. 

He said he had been very 

touched by watching footage 

of the monthly conscription 

ballot, where between 1916 and 

1918 the names of 134,393 New 

Zealand men were drawn. 

“I found the process of 

conscription quite disturbing, 

because in essence they were 

handing out death sentences,” 

he said. 

Mr Ifopo writes and performs 

in the evenings and weekends 

around his day job as a builder. 

He also organises regular red 

zone rap battles to promote 

COMBINATION: Christchurch rapper Solomona Ifopo and opera singer Madison Nonoa 

(below) have collaborated on a song honouring World War 1 soldiers. 

CONSCRIPTION: During World War 1, 134,393 New Zealand 

men were conscripted to fight, their fate decided by 

numbered marbles drawn from a barrel. Only female clerks 

were entrusted to extract the name cards after each number 

was called.

emerging Christchurch hip-hop 

artists, which have drawn interest 

from rappers and producers 

across the world. 

He said this project became 

personal, as he dug into his 

own family history as he was 

researching for the song. 

While talking to his grandfather 

about it, he discovered 

his own great-grandfather, Neil 

McGill, had his name drawn 

in the ballot – but narrowly 

escaped having to fight. 

“He had three kids at the 

time, but when he was about to 

get conscripted he had another 

child. If they had newborns, 

they could get out of it. So my 

great-aunty they used to call 

“Dad’s war effort”, because she 

got him out,” he said. 

The song, which was released 

on Tuesday, was something he 

planned to share even with his 

grandfather, he said. 

“He’s old as, he doesn’t 

understand hip-hop. I try not 

to let him hear it because underground 

hip-hop can be pretty 

raw. But I will be showing him 

this,” he said. 

•The song, as well as other 

artistic pieces created as 

part of the project, can be

Break in weather 

predicted 

for weekend 


ALTHOUGH RAIN, wind and 

even snow are expected today and 

tomorrow, relief is coming – the 

forecast is for a sunny weekend. 

MetService meteorologist Tom 

Adams said the weather was 

expected to be patchy today and 

tomorrow, but on the whole would 

stay wet, cold and sleety. 

An 8 deg C high is predicted in 

Christchurch today and tomorrow, 

with temperatures expected to 

drop to 3 deg C tonight and 0 deg 

C tomorrow night. 

“In short, I wouldn’t get too 

excited by patches of sunshine,” he 

said. 

But he said the weekend was 

set to clear up, with sunshine, 

northerlies and a bit of light cloud 

predicted. Then more rain was 

expected late on Sunday or on 

Monday. 

He said the cold weather this 

week was caused by a low which 

settled over the country. 

In Brief 

PEDESTRIAN KILLED 

A man has died after being hit by 

a car on Tuesday night. The crash 

happened on Huxley St, between 

Colombo and Burlington Sts, 

Sydenham, around 9.40pm. The 

road was closed while the Serious 

Crash Unit investigates, police 

said. 

BAND SUCCESS 

Christchurch musicians in the 

National Brass Band of New 

Zealand are set to arrive back 

in the country today after a 

whirlwind week. The band 

took silver in the World Music 

Contest in the Netherlands. 

They also performed concerts in 

Hong Kong, Germany and the 

Netherlands. They were up against 

more than 20,000 musicians and 

260 bands this year at the contest, 

and came in second to a Belgium

America’s Cup parade 

Rain, sleet but a very warm welcome 

About 6000 people braved the freezing rain and sleet to 

celebrate Emirates Team New Zealand’s America’s Cup win 

yesterday. Reporter Bridget Rutherford and photographer 

Martin Hunter went along to capture the action 

RON MACKIE always knew Joe 

Sullivan would be a good sailor. 

He taught the Emirates Team 

New Zealand cyclist how to sail 

on the Waimakariri River as a 

child. 

And yesterday, the pair reunited 

during the America’s Cup victory 

parade through the central city. 

The 84-year-old travelled from 

Rangiora, and got the chance to 

chat with his old student, and get a 

close look at the Auld Mug. 

He, along with about 6000 others, 

braved the freezing conditions 

and sleet to welcome the team to 

Christchurch. 

Mr Mackie, a Waimakariri Sailing 

Club member who still gets out 

on the water, said he took Sullivan 

and his older brother Brayden on a 

four-day sailing course. 

“They were quite good little 

sailors. I have a photo of them 

at home when they won a club 

trophy.” 

During the America’s Cup campaign 

in Bermuda, the pair had 

stayed in contact. 

“He sent a very nice text from 

Bermuda at the start, and I think it 

said: ‘We’re a young team, but we 

have the right people, in the right 

place, at the right time, and I think 

we will improve’,” Mr Mackie said. 

Emirates Team New Zealand 

went on to beat Oracle 7-1. 

Sullivan, a former Olympic 

gold medal rower, grew up in 

Christchurch before moving to 

Picton. He said the reunion with 

his old coach was “emotional” and 

“fantastic.” 

He said Mr Mackie taught him 

well. 

“It’s great to see Ron, he’s 84 and 

still out sailing.” 

Redwood man Patrick Bennett 

got to kiss the America’s Cup as it 

went past and in spite of the chilly 

conditions, it was “pretty warm.” 

“I’ve been waiting a long time to 

see that.” 

Siblings Angel, 5, and Dustin 

Shaw, 7, were both excited they got 

to touch the trophy when helmsman 

Peter Burling passed through 

with it. 

Their mother, Erica Salazar said 

it was an “amazing experience” for 

them. 

Burling said they had received 

an “amazing reception” but he was 

finding the weather a bit cold.

News 

Central information hub crucial 

The Star continues its 

series on the work police 

in Canterbury are doing 

on crime prevention. It 

runs weekly covering a 

wide range of topics as 

police head off trouble 

before it starts. Gabrielle 

Stuart reports on the 

district command centre 

ALREADY THERE has been 

a death, a robbery, burglaries, 

family violence and a breach of 

a protection order – and it’s only 

9am. 

Outside, it’s still cold, and the 

city is still sleepy: Footpaths 

empty, shopkeepers just putting 

out their open signs. 

But step through the double 

doors into the Christchurch 

Central police station, and the 

place is abuzz with activity. 

The Canterbury District Command 

Centre sits at the back 

of the station, past the ringing 

phones in the call centre, past 

the network of desks and departments, 

past the officers heading 

out or returning from patrol. 

There, Senior Sergeant Roy 

IN COMMAND: Senior Sergeant Roy Appley looking on as Senior Constable Craig Newman pulls 

up camera feeds at the Canterbury District Command Centre. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Appley is watching it all happen. 

The district command centre 

is laid out like a mini version of 

the NASA control-room, or the 

bridge of a sci-fi spaceship. 

Desks are set up facing a wall 

lined with television screens. 

To the left are the camera 

feeds, streaming live from security 

and traffic cameras across 

the city. Right now, camera feeds 

from the Riccarton bus lounge 

are on screen: Several angles 

from the waiting room, the cafe, 

and the street outside. 

To the right, a list of active 

police incidents scroll across 

a screen: What’s happening, 

where it is happening, and who is 

responding. Each screen is constantly 

changing and updating. 

If the command centre resembles 

a spaceship, Senior Sergeant 

Appley is in the captain’s chair. 

Some of the officers working in 

the DCC are in jeans and sneakers, 

but he is fully uniformed: 

Both with crisp police blues and 

a serious attitude. 

He makes the time to talk, 

but is constantly aware of what 

is happening around him, and 

several times takes time out to 

check on his screens. There are 

two parts to the job, he said: 

Prioritising calls, and getting as 

much information as possible to 

the officers on the ground. 

“It’s quite demanding in here, 

because there’s a lot you have to 

know and keep your head over. 

Often you’re in here all day, 

because it’s so fast-paced you 

can’t leave. If you drop the ball, 

someone could be harmed,” he 

said. 

This morning there are 164 

police “units” available across 

Canterbury, and it is his job to 

direct them. 

By about 9.30am, there have 

already been 51 active events.

PRESENTED BY: 

to co-ordinated crime fighting 

That includes the death – a 

body found, but not believed to 

be suspicious. There are officers 

at crashes, knocking on doors 

after burglaries or family harm 

episodes, and tracking down 

people who haven’t turned up in 

court. 

Covering everything was more 

challenging that morning, he 

said, as about 20 staff were busy 

searching the Kate Valley Landfill 

for clues to the disappearance 

of Halswell builder Michael 

McGrath. 

The computers pinged as 

events – each call or crime – 

arrived on the list. 

Each was labelled from one, 

most urgent, to four. 

With each, Senior Sergeant 

Appley, or one of his officers, 

would scan the details to see if 

there was anything useful they 

could provide from cameras in 

the area or police files. 

Last week, they were notified 

that someone had been robbed 

by a group of people at the 

Washington Way Skate Park on 

Moorhouse Ave. 

Instantly they were able to 

bring up and rewind the camera 

recording from the area, and saw 

the robbers getting into a fairly 

distinctive silver European car. 

With a description of the car 

and the direction it was heading, 

police in the area were able to 

pull it over and arrest the suspects 

within minutes. 

Midway through the morning, 

Senior Constable Craig Newman 

stopped by. He spent nine 

months working in the district 

command centre, before going 

back to the beat. 

He said the information the 

DCC was able to give was invaluable. 

It had made car chases 

safer, he said, as police were able 

to watch through traffic cameras 

where criminals were heading 

and circle ahead to intercept 

them, rather than having to 

always give chase. 

Even during more routine 

work, like a door knock after a 

burglary, it made a huge difference, 

Senior Constable Newman 

said. 

“That person may have been 

a victim of three burglaries, or 

their husband may have died in a 

ORGANISED: Information 

from the police district 

command centre can be

burglaries, family violence 

and other crimes. 

car crash recently. That information 

can now be given instantly 

to the police officer who is going 

to be knocking on their door,” 

Senior Constable Newman said. 

On Friday and Saturday 

nights, a lot of problems started 

outside bars. 

“Along St Asaph St, where the 

road is narrow, there is limited 

space and taxis often double or 

triple-parked. It’s a recipe for 

disaster when intoxicated people 

are around,” Senior Sergeant Appley 

said. 

By regularly checking the cameras, 

police could see where lines 

were starting to form outside 

bars, or where people were starting 

to gather. 

They could then send a patrol 

there before anything escalated 

and prevent problems before 

they started. 

He said many countries in 

the world were installing police 

cameras and using them to 

monitor and watch suspects to 

gather evidence of crimes. 

Although there was a lot of 

potential to do that, he said New 

Zealand police were instead 

focused on helping victims 

and preventing crime, and the 

cameras were just another tool. 

“The most rewarding thing 

is when you make a difference 

for someone, and that happens 

almost daily here,” Senior 

Sergeant Appley said. 

That is something which had 

held true through all the changes 

he had seen over 32 years as a 

police officer. 

He doesn’t mention it, but four 

years ago he was made a Member 

of the New Zealand Order 

of Merit for his work in New 

Brighton after the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

“No matter how flash the 

technology gets, it all comes 

down to our interactions with 

people,” he said. 

“High trust and confidence 

doesn’t come because you look 

good in the uniform when 

you’re out and about. It comes 

when you handle every dealing 

well and treat people with 

respect.”

Woods,Wagner clash over rebuild projects 

The election is less 

than three months 

away and the battle 

is heating up. Bridget 

Rutherford reports 

TWO OF the city’s political 

heavyweights have squared off, 

with one accusing the other of 

not knowing enough about the 

anchor projects. 

Labour Wigram MP Megan 

Woods caught the Minister supporting 

Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Nicky Wagner out 

during question time in Parliament. 

Ms Wagner, who is the MP for 

Christchurch Central, was asked 

how many anchor projects the 

Crown was responsible for, and 

how many had been completed. 

But she did not give specific 

numbers. After Dr Woods’ asked 

her several times for an answer, 

Ms Wagner listed some of the 

projects. 

She said they were progressing 

well but some were the Crown’s 

responsibility, and others were 

not. 

“The oval was not the Crown’s 

responsibility but that’s completed, 

the bus exchange was the 

Crown’s responsibility and that’s 

FACE OFF: Megan Woods questioned Nicky Wagner about the 

earthquake symposium and anchor projects in Parliament last 

week.

completed. The Avon Otakaro 

Corridor is partially completed, 

the Margaret Mahy Playground 

is completed,” she said. 

“The Convention Centre is on 

track, to be announced recently, 

and the Metro Sports is under 

way. The only anchor project that 

is not completed, not on the way 

at this stage, is the multi-use stadium, 

which is the responsibility 

of the city council.” 

The stoush happened in Parliament 

last week. Ms Wagner 

believes Dr Woods had been 

mischievous about how the 

questions were put to her. 

Under parliamentary rules, the 

first question put by an MP to 

another must be sent in advance 

so a response can be prepared 

when the matter is raised during 

formal question time. 

Any supplementary questions 

that might be raised have to 

relate to the original question. 

Ms Wagner said the original 

question put to her by Dr Woods 

was about the postponement 

of the Canterbury Earthquake, 

Learn, Prepare, Act Symposium. 

During question time, Dr 

Woods put a supplementary 

question, asking Ms Wagner how 

many anchor projects the Crown 

has responsibility for and how 

many had been completed. 

“I don’t know why the member 

(Dr Woods) chose to stray from 

the primary question but I saw 

it as an opportunity to provide 

the House with an update on the 

progress of the anchor projects.” 

But Dr Woods told The Star 

yesterday that was “simply untrue” 

and given the question line, 

Ms Wagner should have been 

prepared. 

Dr Woods said one of the 

reasons the symposium was 

postponed was because of the lack 

of progress on the anchor projects 

and central city, so it did relate. 

“The answer should have been 

two numbers. And the fact she 

couldn’t answer that, in spite of 

being asked three times, is concerning 

to me,” she said. 

“Frankly, I’m gobsmacked the 

minister doesn’t carry around 

that information in her head – 

how many anchor projects the 

Crown has responsibility for and 

how many they’ve completed.” 

During the stoush in Parliament, 

Dr Woods asked: “Is it the 

Progress of the Crown’s 

anchor projects 

•An Accessible City (phase 

1) – ongoing 

•Convention Centre – 

ongoing 

•Earthquake Memorial – 

completed 

•East Frame Public Realm – 

to be completed in 2018 

•East Frame Residential – 

phased 

•Margaret Mahy Family 

Playground – completed 

•Metro Sports Facility – 

ongoing 

•Multi-use arena – ongoing 

•Avon River Precinct – 

ongoing 

real reason the National Government 

cancelled the symposium 

because they were too embarrassed 

in an election year to front 

up to the people of Christchurch 

over their underwhelming lack 

of progress on the anchor projects? 

And for the record, it’s 10 

and only two completed.” 

Replied Ms Wagner: “Absolutely 

not, what we were concerned 

about was that we could 

effectively reflect on the whole 

process of recovery, rebuild and 

regeneration.”

Dad’s punt wins 

Crusader visit 

• By Julia Evans 

MICHAEL STIRLING is officially the 

coolest parent. 

At least in the eyes of the pupils from St 

Joseph’s School in Papanui who received a 

visit from Crusaders players. 

Mr Stirling won a special visit from 

players David Havili, Pete Samu and Seta 

Tamanivalu as part of the Placemakers 

Punt for Prizes competition. 

During round eight of the Super Rugby 

competition, he correctly picked all seven 

of the games and was put into a final draw 

– which he won. 

“It was a bit of sharp shooting,” he said. 

So he nominated his daughter Taylor’s 

school to receive the visit. 

“The younger ones appreciate the 

players, they look up to them as heroes,” 

Mr Stirling said. 

The Crusaders hosted a mini coaching 

session as well as dishing out a few 

autographs and a selfie or two. 

Which more than paid off. 

“I’ve been told she’s pretty good at 

tackling now,” Mr Stirling said. 

TACKLE: Crusaders fullback David 

Havili is tackled by St Joseph’s School 

pupils. 

Placemakers Canterbury marketing 

manager James Munro said the company 

is thrilled to be able to offer such unique 

and memorable prizes to rugby fans. 

“To see the excitement on the kids’ 

faces at St Joseph’s was really special and 

I know they will be talking about the visit 

to their mates for a very long time,” Mr 

Munro said.

ocial media used to 

ispel crash rumour 

• By Andrew King 

POLICE HAVE used 

social media to quash 

rumours a serious crash 

between Barrys Bay and 

the Hilltop Tavern on 

Sunday was caused by a 

foreign driver. 

Senior Constable 

Anita Osborne posted 

on the Akaroa Buy 

Sell and Exchange and 

Community Notice 

Board Facebook page: 

“Before there is any 

speculation about 

tourist drivers and bad 

motorbikes, not that I 

expect anyone would 

jump to conclusions 

would they, the driver 

of the car admits driver 

error and was very cooperative 

– and he lives 

in Canterbury.” 

A 31-year-old motorcyclist 

suffered lifethreatening 

injuries when 

he collided with a car on 

the Christchurch Akaroa 

Rd at about 4pm. 

He suffered an “open 

book pelvis fracture” 

intensive care paramedic 

for Westpac Rescue Mike 

McLintock said. 

The driver of the car 

was uninjured. 

Akaroa-based Senior 

Constable Osborne said 

yesterday she put the post 

up to let the locals know 

what was going on, but 

worded it the way she 

has to stop people from 

jumping to conclusions. 

The road was closed for 

about three hours after 

the crash. 

Senior Constable 

Osborne thanked 

emergency services in her 

post. 

“It was full on for a 

while there and everyone 

was amazing,” she 

posted. 

There have been a spate 

of crashes recently in the 

Akaroa area. 

“There have been two 

drink driver related 

crashes and three driver 

error crashes,” she said. 

NASTY: Senior Constable Anita Osborne 

said the driver of the vehicle has 

admitted it was his error.

Maddie home but no 

health answers yet 


MADDIE COLLINS is home 

again, after a two-week trip to a 

United States hospital to explore 

potential treatment. 

But many questions still remain 

unanswered over the health of the 

13-year-old from West Melton. 

Maddie and her family travelled 

to the The John Hopkins Hospital 

in Baltimore, hoping the treatment 

offered there would make 

it easier to find a replacement 

kidney. 

Maddie has been on dialysis for 

kidney failure most of her life, but 

learnt last month that the dialysis 

was putting so much strain on her 

heart, she was at risk of a heart 

attack. 

That made finding a replacement 

kidney more urgent. 

In 2012, her father, Adam Collins, 

donated one of his kidneys to 

Maddie, but her body rejected it. 

Maddie’s bother, Tom, and 

sister, Georgia, were both tested 

while in the US to see if they 

might be a match for Maddie. 

In an online update, Maddie’s 

mother, Sarah Manson Collins, 

said the family was now waiting 

for test results before they could 


FLYING HOME: Maddie 

Collins with her father, Adam, 

and sister, Georgia, on the 

way back from the United 

States. 

say what Maddie’s options 

were. 

She said the doctors believed 

there were several treatment options, 

but it came at a cost – she 

said the cost of the treatment, 

which they initially estimated at 

$350,000, could almost double. 

Givealittle pages have already 

raised more than $90,000 for 

Maddie, and tickets for a fundraising 

night later this month 

have already sold out.

Cops Facebook page: Be nice 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

CANTERBURY Police have 

issued a warning to its Facebook 

followers saying bullying will 

not be tolerated and any such 

comments will be deleted. 

It comes after complaints police 

Facebook pages had become 

hubs for bullying and trolling, 

sparking calls for better moderation. 

Last week, Canterbury Police 

wrote on its Facebook page that 

it would not tolerate bullying, 

abuse, harassment or trolling on 

the page. 

“If you do post comments like 

this they will be deleted – and 

you may be blocked if you do it 

repeatedly,” the post said. 

The post was well received, 

with many commending police 

for issuing the warning. 

Senior Sergeant Stewart Munro 

said, given the large number 

of comments across all police 

pages, it was not always possible 

to monitor and moderate every 

post. 

He said the police public 

affairs team helped moderate 

them and hide anything racist, 

sexist or discriminatory. There 

was also a moderation filter. But 

big 6Kg 

DRYER 

WARNING: Canterbury Police have reminded people bullying 

comments on its Facebook page will not be tolerated. 

it did not hide all negative comments, 

he said. 

“We do look out for negative 

comments and, while Canterbury 

Police has not noticed a 

recent increase, we recently 

issued a reminder that people be 

respectful in their comments.” 

WEKA PASS RAILWAY 

Police use the Facebook page 

to get information relating to an 

inquiry, or as a way of tracking 

people down who are wanted for 

arrest or are reported missing. 

While some comments were 

helpful, others turned nasty. 

One comment said police 

 

should “try Eastgate KFC” to 

find a woman who had warrants 

out for arrest, another described 

a man as appearing “straight 

from the Planet of the Apes 

movie”. Another comment said 

one man showed a resemblance 

to Voldemort. 

Another man whose photo 

was posted on the page drew 

a wave of comments and puns 

relating to his left ear, because 

half of it had been removed 

somehow. 

“He’s going to get an ear full 

when his mother finds out about 

this,’’ one comment said. 

Canterbury University associate 

professor and social media 

expert, Ekant Veer, said it was 

great police had deemed the 

behaviour unacceptable. 

Hopefully people would see 

the page was not there for public 

humiliation, he said. 

“It’s not new, by any means – 

we used to have public floggings 

and criminals put in stocks so 

people can throw rotten food at 

them. This is the modern day 

equivalent.” 

But Dr Veer said he worried 

having more moderation could 

take up too much police time 

and resource. 

Police use wit 

against trolls 

IN SPITE of many using the 

Canterbury Police Facebook 

page to make bullying remarks, 

at times it can also be a place 

for police to show their sense of 

humour. 

On Friday, police posted a photo 

of a booze bus, saying officers 

would be out and about ensuring 

people did not drink and drive. 

One man commented: “What 

streets will you be setting up on 

in case people want to stop by and 

say gidday?” 

Canterbury Police responded: 

“We’ll be starting at Nicetry Street 

and then we’ll be moving to Betterlucknexttime 

Avenue. Hope to 

see you there!” 

In 2014, Samuel Lake went viral 

when he taunted Canterbury 

Police under his own wanted 

mugshot on its Facebook page. 

Lake’s comment said: “I need to 

get a new mugshot.” 

Police responded: “Come see us 

and will arrange at no cost”. 

In June, police posted a photo 

of vintage-looking skis which 

had been recovered in the hope of 

returning them to their owner. 

“Think Ernest Shackleton may 

have lost them on his mission to 

the South Pole,” one cheeky poster 

said.

Stopping Chch from becoming a 

Chinese traffic engineer Ming Bai has spent three 

years in Christchurch studying how far people 

commute and what authorities should invest if they 

want to get people out of their cars. He spoke to 

Gabrielle Stuart 

MORE THAN 21 million people 

live in Beijing – about 36 times 

the population of Canterbury 

packed into an area a third of the 

size. 

It is unofficially known as 

the capital of traffic jams, and 

has had 50-lane-wide superhighways 

in gridlock. 

Vehicles are believed to be responsible 

for about 30 per cent of 

the city’s smog and air pollution, 

which a United States study estimated 

kills about 4000 people in 

China a day. 

Traffic engineer Ming Bai’s 

task was finding a solution to the 

problem. 

The Chinese Government had 

committed to reducing emissions, 

and Mr Bai was in a team 

of people trying to figure out 

how to do it: How to get people 

out of their vehicles. 

That was three years ago. 

In 2014, he moved to Christchurch 

to undertake a PhD at 

Canterbury University. 

His goal was to create a formula 

to show what kind of transport 

investment would be most 

effective in getting people to use 

cycleways or public transport. 

While working on the Beijing 

project, he had been frustrated 

by the lack of information, he 

said. 

City planners had to decide 

where to place things like train 

systems, cycleways or bus routes, 

and where they would be most 

effective. 

But they were often based on 

the population of each area, or 

used surveys which were unreliable 

and expensive. 

“If you want to build a 

cycleway or public transport system, 

you need to know the travel 

amounts and that has nothing to 

do with the city population. It’s 

about how many people would 

have to travel short distance 

amounts, or long travel distance

A database is also kept with 

information from each vehicle’s 

warrant of fitness, recording the

addresses. They can be averaged to 

show how far vehicles in the area 

have travelled. 

Using that data, he developed a 

formula to calculate approximately 

how far the average resident in suburbs

Overall, he found Christchurch 

was an ideal cycling city, he said, as 

almost 70 per cent of people lived 

within 5-10km of their work. 

A shorter travel distance meant 

investment in cycle lanes was likely 

to be more worthwhile, while a 

longer distance meant buses or 

trains would be a better investment, 

he said. 

Going suburb to suburb, he found 

people in the east of the city were 

likely to travel a lot further than 

people in the west. 

He found the average person in 

Lyttelton travelled further than 

people in Yaldhurst – 16km compared 

with 10km respectively – in 

spite of the fact Lyttelton was closer 

to the central city – 12km away 

compared to 14km.

decisions like where to prioritise 

bus stop locations or cycleways. 

His research is almost finished, 

and he originally planned to take 

what he learned back to Beijing. 

But, although he still hoped his 

work could be used to improve 

transport there, he said he had 

grown to love Christchurch and 

would like to stay longer-term. 

“Christchurch is quiet and 

beautiful, and people are very nice 

and friendly. The only thing is 

the transport system is a bit slow 

compared to other cities, so I hope 

I could find a good opportunity to 

help,” he said.

Setting new goals 

WE’RE officially past 

the mid-way point of 

2017 and the school 

holidays are here again 

— this year is flying by. 

Many families will be 

taking a break from their regular 

routine with travel, holiday 

programmes or perhaps some 

quality time at home. 

For me, mid-year is an opportunity 

to reflect, access 

and set some new goals. So the 

Monitoring Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration June 2017 report, 

released late last week, was perfectly 

timed. 

It summarises regeneration 

progress by collating and 

analysing data in six key areas 

— demographics, the economy, 

infrastructure, well-being, housing 

and tourism. 

When I took on the role as 

Minister supporting Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration, I 

made a commitment to keeping 

the community as up-to-date as 

possible by regularly and proactively 

releasing information. 

This report is part of that commitment 

and provides a clear 

and comprehensive overview of 

our regeneration to date. 

Monitoring our progress in 

this way ensures all critical issues 

are noted and addressed by 

Nicky Wagner 

the relevant agencies in a timely 

manner. It also lets us know if 

we’re heading in the right direction 

and helps us plan ahead or 

make any necessary changes. 

As a city and a region we’ve 

faced many challenges over the 

last six-and-half-years but much 

of the data shows we’re making 

progress. We’re taking advantage 

of opportunities to develop and 

grow with new, innovative ideas. 

As I wrote last week, we’re also 

making some progress on the 

future of Christ Church Cathedral, 

with a Government offer of 

reinstatement. 

It’s by no means in the bag, 

but it’s a strong offer with crossparty 

support for legislation. 

The next six months will be 

very important for Christchurch. 

We have a lot on the go and 

there are more exciting projects 

to come. 

If you are taking a break these 

school holidays, I wish you a safe 

and enjoyable time.

supporting Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration 

The cleanliness of the 

Lyttelton Tunnel is being 

questioned, with Lyttelton 

residents wanting more 

done to keep it clean 

Jane McCulla – The tunnel 

is a disgrace. I have used it 

regularly over the past seven 

years, and I remember it being 

much cleaner before the quakes. 

It has got really dirty and 

unkempt, I honestly think it 

needs to be cleaned more often. 

The ceiling is made of yellow 

tiles but it is just black now. 

A real shame. I say fix the 

cleaning machine or buy a new 

one. It’s not good for drivers 

going through breathing in the 

dust and grime . . . probably 

carcinogenic, never mind the 

look of it . . . not very inviting 

coming in to Lyttelton. 

Tony Carrabes – I think 

it’s the best maintained tunnel 

in the world because every 

weekday night the tunnel is 

completely closed to traffic for 

maintenance. 

Peter Thompson – Well, for 

those that don’t remember, they 

used to have cleaning crews for 

the tunnel way back in time. I 

believe they used to have trucks 

with brushes on going through 

every few days to keep the tiles 

clean. 

Tracy Journée – I’ve lived 

in Lyttelton for 23 years. Of 

course I have noticed how dirty 

the tunnel walls have been since 

the February and June 2011 

earthquakes, who hasn’t. Clearly 

there has been a breach in the 

tunnel lining in places that has 

not been properly addressed yet, 

maybe never will be. 

Perhaps if cleaning was more 

frequent it would have a better 

chance of keeping up with the 

grime. However, if extra cleaning 

schedules went ahead at this 

point in time, this would also 

mean more tunnel delays. 

This would be just unbearable 

as we currently share the tunnel 

with so many port tankers and 

other dangerous goods vehicles 

that cannot do their original 

route around through Evans 

Pass to Sumner. The regular 

and constant delays that these 

vehicles have caused over the 

years have worn me out. Just 

recently there was a half-hour 

delay with the breakdown of a 

logging truck in the tunnel. 

I believe it has been poor form 

and poor planning from the port 

company and our city council 

to have not fast tracked this 

important alternate route out of 

Lyttelton through Evans Pass. 

So, while I couldn’t agree more 

that our once shiny and white 

Lyttelton Tunnel looks more like 

the armpit of a gorilla on steroids 

most days, I would also like to 

plead, please, no more delays in 

our tunnel until Evans Pass is safe 

for traffic again.

A new parking meter in 

Cathedral Square issues 

a different kind of ticket 

- a Christchurch secret to 

explore 

Melanie Whitworth – 

That’s so funny to watch people’s 

reactions. I’ll have to check it 

out. 

Jacinta Roosing – Might 

have to look at this in the school 

holidays if the weather is great. 

Karen Thomas – Superb 

idea – all cities should do this! 

Judy Tacón – Brilliant. 

In her column last week, 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said 

not all roads were ‘eligible’ 

to be fixed under the cost 

sharing agreement and the 

SCIRT programme. 

FUN: Abigail Neave and her Beca workmate Lisa Mace test out 

the different parking meter in Cathedral Square. 

Tania Salm – Pavements 

aren’t eligible? Thanks, 

Government. That’s just peachy 

for those with mobility issues. 

I’d hate to think how someone 

in a wheelchair, on crutches, 

or with a vision impairment 

navigates the uneven pavements 

in our city. I’m guessing often 

they don’t. How to exclude 

whole parts of the population 

from public life! 

Kelly Monk – So some 

roads are not eligible. Could be 

because the stupid council is 

wasting money on fancy cycle 

lanes that hardly anyone uses. 

Great Navy Pieces 

Priorities council. Fix the roads 

first then put in all your fancy 

wish list stuff! 

Melissa McCutchan – I 

find this frustrating as some 

roads have been ripped up several 

times. If it was only ripped 

up once and everything put in at 

the same time then more work 

could have been done around 

the city. 

Aileen Kimber – Money 

spent on the stupid statue in the 

river should have gone on roads 

and footpaths. 

•More Rise Up, p21 

Clear choice this election 

THERE ARE various 

ways that political 

parties make new 

policy and come up 

with fresh ideas. 

Sometimes it is 

looking to research and to good 

examples from overseas, but 

sometimes it is from what we 

politicians see on the ground. 

For me, policies that respond 

to what I am hearing in my 

electorate office, on doorsteps 

and out and about are really 

important. It’s this view from 

the ground which has driven 

Labour’s families and winter 

heating packages this week. 

When we saw the measures 

that the National Government 

put up in the Budget we knew 

that these were not what were 

most needed. 

THey may have been dressed up 

as helping low and middle income 

families but the reality is that 

these tax cuts will benefit those 

on the highest incomes the most. 

We’ve come up with an 

alternative package that delivers 

real change and assistance where 

it is most needed. 

Under Labour’s targeted 

families package more than 

70 per cent of families with 

children will receive more than 

they would under National’s 

tax cuts. We are also putting in 

place measures to make sure that 

people can afford to heat their 

homes and keep warm in winter. 

THe winter energy payment 

will be $700 for couples receiving 

superannuation or a main benefit 

(this will be $450 for single 

people). Around one million 

people will benefit. 

THis election there’s a clear 

choice. By not adopting 

National’s tax cuts we have 

freed up funding for a targeted 

package that delivers more to 

families with kids and people in 

need, and costs less than $900 

million a year. 

Labour’s priority is investing 

in services and boosting the 

incomes of low and middle 

income families, not an election 

tax bribe aimed at those at the 

top. 

We’ve got to address mental 

health and housing and make 

a real difference in the lives of 

Kiwis, and now is not the time 

for tax cuts.

The city council is 

considering putting time 

restrictions on Summit Rd 

to try and curb the boy 

racer problem in the area 

Daniel Cossar – So people 

like to cruise the hills . . . it will 

just make it worse for people 

in Christchurch. This town has 

nothing to offer at night except 

drinking in town and cruising. 

But yet the police and public 

wonder why there is so much 

crime at night. There is nothing 

to do especially for teenagers. 

This country is getting more 

stupid every day. 

Lee Nicholls – Good luck 

challenging my right to freedom 

of movement as guaranteed 

under the bill of rights. 

Maria Lee – A time restriction? 

Does that mean a curfew 

or you have to get over the hill in 

under five minutes? 

Wal Thomas – Silliest idea 

this year. One of these days the 

Government will legislate to 

make any car modifications illegal 

and restrict powerful vehicles 

to those who need them. 

Tanya Hyde – I doubt it would 

make a difference – hoons flout 

the road laws for fun so won’t be 

stopped by a no cruising sign – 

unless there’s cops watching the 

area like a hawk. Speed humps? 

Warren Hancock – Why 

not put a covert camera in hiding 

somewhere in the area? Fine

damage allowing law abiding

mouse? Put some more surveillance 

gadgets and deal with the 

culprits who are not abiding by 

the law. 

Nichola Tyson – We were 

up there recently taking photos 

of the aurora, the car parks were 

full of boy racers and I’m guessing 

they were waiting for all the 

photographers to leave so they 

can do their thing. More police 

patrols are needed up there. 

David Lloyd – The present 

council administration is out 

of control trying to manage 

citizens’ rights. It is way over 

the top. Stick to your core 

responsibilities council. Fix the 

roads, footpaths, sewerage and 

waster water systems, tidy parks 

and gardens. When you have 

achieved success at these core issues 

perhaps then you can think 

about social engineering. 

Inner-city living 

I SPENT most of my late teens 

and 20s living inside the four 

avenues and, since becoming 

mayor, I have dreamed of 

moving back. 

I love inner-city living. 

Everything is so close at hand. 

I love Hagley Park and the 

Botanic Gardens. I love being 

able to walk down to a movie 

theatre or to see a show. I love 

the restaurants and cafes that 

have sprung up and some of my 

old favourites too. 

I love to be able to dash down 

to the shops you don’t get in the 

malls to buy something special 

for a birthday present. I miss being 

in the heart of the city. 

More than 2700 people 

responded to the city council’s 

Life in Christchurch survey, 

which was commissioned to 

gauge people’s views on the 

central city. 

The majority of respondents 

reported that they had visited 

the central city in the past 12 

months, with more than half 

visiting for non-work purposes. 

Overall, the results indicated 

people are feeling reasonably 

positive about progress and 

value the contribution the 

central city makes to life in 

Christchurch. 

Lianne Dalziel 

But for me there was a standout 

set of statistics – all to do 

with living in the central city. 

For me this is what will bring life 

and vitality to the city. 

With only six per cent of 

respondents actually living in 

the central city now and only 

another two per cent actively 

looking to move into the area, 

we still have a long way to go. 

Close to 30 per cent were 

considering moving in the 

future, but the majority of those 

indicated they would wait for the 

rebuild to finish. 

One of the main concerns 

people had about a move to the 

central city was the lack of affordable 

housing options. 

We have already exempted 

inner-city residential 

developments from development 

contributions, but I think we 

need to do more and I’ll be 

working with the Development 

Forum to do just that.

Freshly roasted coffee draws customers to city cafe 

Many of Christchurch’s discerning coffee 

drinkers will by now have discovered the 

Magnitude Café & Roastery in Tuam Street. 

Established in June 2016, Magnitude offers 

excellent coffee freshly roasted on the 

premises and brewed by their three expert 

baristas, as well as a choice selection of 

delicious café-style food, made on the 

premises, for lunch and morning and 

afternoon teas. 

In addition to freshly made sandwiches, 

wraps and sweet treats, the menu features 

delicious hot potatoes, which are baked in 

a King Edward original potato baker and 

served with a choice of herbs. 

The café itself has an interesting pedigree. 

It was the brainchild of David Humphrey, 

the previous owner of Dunedin’s iconic 

coffee house, Stewarts, which was 

established by the late Tom Stewart in 1956. 

An RAF Pilot, Tom flew Lancaster bombers 

in the famous Dam Buster Squadron 617. 

Having been shot down over Germany and 

taken prisoner of war, he was repatriated 

back to Dunedin where, with friends and 

his English-born bride, talked about the 

wonderful coffee houses, commonly called 

the ‘penny universities’, which they had 

frequently visited in England. 

The suggestion arose that Tom should open 

one here in New Zealand, and so in 1956 

Stewarts Coffee House in Dunedin was 

born. It was the first of many. 

In 1975, Tom retired and sold the coffee 

house to David, who continued the 

established tradition of roasting coffee 

beans on the premises. David also saw the 

opportunity to supply top-quality, freshly 

roasted coffee to other establishments, and 

soon had a large clientele of discerning 

cafes and restaurants buying his coffee. 

After selling the business in 2008, he found 

he had time on his hands and he missed the 

people he had been dealing with. So he 

bought a building in Tuam St, Christchurch, 

fitted it out as a roastery and cafe, found a 

suitable name, Magnitude, and established 

what today is a destination cafe providing 

what many agree is the best and freshest 

coffee available. David's son-in-law, Gerard 

van Rooy, learnt to roast coffee whilst 

working for Stewarts and is an expert in 

obtaining perfection. 

Apart from enjoying a cup on the premises, 

many customers buy a coffee to take away 

and enjoy at home or in the office. 

Magnitude Café & Roastery is located 

at Unit 2, 314 Tuam St and is open 

7am-4pm, Monday to Friday.

Our People 


Tim McInnes 

Film festival brings the heavy subject of 

Christchurch film director Tim McInnes’ documentary will 

feature in next month’s New Zealand International Film 

Festival. He spoke to Bridget Rutherford about filming 

alternative education youths over the course of the year 

and seeing them grow up 

Tim, can you tell me about 

your new documentary, One 

Island of Good? 

It’s a big one. It’s not a lighthearted 

film. It’s a documentary 

about a heavy subject. Nobody 

knows what alternative 

education is. When we’ve asked 

people in the past they give us a 

glazed-over look and say: ‘Yeah I 

think so’ which means they have 

no idea. 

It’s a place for young people to 

go once they’ve been expelled, 

they are under the age of 16, 

which makes them a ward of 

the state. Legally, they have to 

be supervised and they go to 

alternative education. YMCA 

chief executive Josie Ogden 

Schroeder approached me about 

a project that involved the street 

art at the YMCA. But as we kept 

talking I think she realised there 

was an opportunity to go a bit 

bigger than giving kids some 

street art lessons – to tell more of 

the story. 

Alternative education providers 

are funded to a level, and they 

deal with some of the most 

time-consuming students in the 

education system. They haven’t 

succeeded in mainstream schools. 

The Ministry of Education 

doesn’t really have any interest in 

doing that much with them. 

So long story short, it turned 

into a documentary where 

we would follow them for 12 

months, and part of that was a 

trip to Nepal so we could share 

their experience where they 

could relate to another culture 

that had a similar experience 

with earthquakes. And we 

thought hopefully down the 

track, we could see whether 

there was any positive change. 

The YMCA funded it and got in 

behind it. 

When did the filming take 

place? 

We filmed from December 

2015, to December 2016. We 

did a year of filming and six 

months of post production. 

We were filming every week. 

ACHIEVEMENT: Director Tim McInnes’ documentary One Island of Good will screen at the Isaac 

Theatre Royal during the New Zealand International Film Festival next month. 

It was a massive commitment. 

We needed that in order to 

gain the trust of the people we 

were filming. On the trip, we 

gave them a camera because 

we wanted them to be able to 

tell their own stories. Some of 

those were pretty colourful, so 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

an awful lot of footage never 

made the cut because there aren’t 

enough bleep buttons to fill what 

they said.






PRESENTED BY: 

alternative education to the screen 

It’s not like a normal school, 

where they would all turn up. 

Here, you could turn up and 

there was literally one person 

in the class that day. Other 

days the class would be full but 

nobody was prepared to talk to 

you, while other days everybody 

wanted to talk to you. The staff 

were very accommodating. 

Do you think you saw a 

positive change for them over 

the year? 

I’m not a psychologist, so I 

can’t make any meaningful comment 

on if they had any positive 

long term outcomes. But over 

the course of 18 months they’ve 

just grown up. Some started as 

14-year-olds and now they’re 16. 

There are massive changes on 

a monthly basis. At the time we 

finished, there were a couple of 

students we didn’t know their 

whereabouts. Others have gone 

back to mainstream school or 

gained employment. 

Did you get to know them 

quite well? 

Yes and no, they only have to 

stay until they are 16. If a student 

was there for three months and 

turned 16, they were off. That’s 

one of the issues, people coming 

and going all the time. It ain’t 

easy. 

JOURNEY: One Island of Good filmed alternative education 

students over a year, including during a trip to Nepal. 

Why did you think it was 

so important to showcase 

alternative education? 

We were approached to make 

the project by the YMCA. Josie 

had been making a lot of noise 

about it and getting nowhere. 

It was up to me to put it into a 

format where it was going to be 

picked up by the film festival. 

And we were really lucky. 

About four months in I had no 

idea whether we were going to 

get a film out of it or not. I think 

the cause was worthy. Some of 

the old ways of thinking is to 

kick their arses and tell them 

to sort it out. This film tries really 

hard to not be left or right. 

It tries to say if you don’t look 

after everyone you’re going to 

have problems down the track. 

Four or five months in, that was 

the point you don’t just give up 

because it’s a bit hard. That’s part 

of the ethos of the film. 

Did you always expect to have 

it screened at the film festival? 

That was goal number one. 

It was a pretty ambitious goal. 

There’s no point in making 

something like this if no one’s 

going to see it. It’s never going to 

be Spiderman. It’s got to be a film 

which is worth watching. 

Where will it will be 

screened? 

It will premier at the Isaac 

Theatre Royal. So it will screen 

in Christchurch, then in Wellington, 

and it may go to Dunedin, 

depending on their schedule. 

And after that, who knows? 

Would you say this is 

the hardest project Ruffell 

Productions has done? 

I would say it’s probably the 

hardest. Harley, my business 

partner, said it was probably the 

most worthwhile thing we’ve 

done. The Children’s Commissioner 

Andrew Beescroft, who 

features in it, said this work isn’t 

for the faint-hearted. 

And this would have consumed 

your life for the last 18 

months, but what do you like to 

do in your spare time? 

I don’t have spare time, I really 

don’t. My down time is very 

much for me and my family. I 

just try and unplug. 

We’ve had two documentaries 

in two festivals this year, One 

Island of Good, and Delaney 

Davidson: Devil In The Parlour, 

which was at the Edge Festival. 

How did you get into the 

industry? 

I started filming in 2001. I 

was behind the camera living in 

Nelson for a couple of years. I 

was working filming on fishing 

boats down in South Westland 

on 42ft boats and on 1000 

footers with helicopters on them. 

I was filming for Rough Fishing, 

it was a bit like The Deadliest 

Catch but the New Zealand 

version of it. I ended up picking 

up a job literally wrapping cables 

and getting lunch for the crew in 

Christchurch back in 2003. 

Then in 2004 I came back to 

Christchurch and managed to 

get work for Ruffell Productions. 

I didn’t think I would buy the 

business how many years later. I 

also worked in the UK producing 

and directing reality, factual 

based TV documentaries. 

Then in 2009 I came back and 

two days before the first earthquake 

I bought a house. In 2012 

bought the business.

Lost seal 

pup faces 

off morning 

motorists 

• By Andrew King 

COMMUTERS ON Fitzgerald 

Ave had a surprise on 

Wednesday morning – a seal 

pup sitting in the middle of the 

road. 

A motorist phoned emergency 

services and Woolston 

firefighters came and ushered it 

back into the nearby Avon River 

at 7.15am. 

According to people on 

Facebook, it caused a bit of a 

distraction. 

“All the cars around me had to 

swerve and brake to avoid it. Be 

careful if driving that way,” one 

person said. 

A fire communications 

spokesman said it would have 

been “one hell of a sight” first 

thing in the morning. 

“We were not expecting to get 

that call like that,” he said. 

The Department of 

Conservation was notified, a 

police spokesman said. 

Police would monitor the 

situation in case the pup 

returns.

Flowers brighten the gloom of winter 

.kiwi 

NOW IN the depth of winter, we 

are experiencing regular, heavy 

frosts. Soils are wet and cold, winds 

are chilly and we’ve even had snow. 

However, the gloom of winter 

is brightened by the appearance 

of blooming azaleas, camellias, 

early flowering rhododendrons 

and early flowering cherries. It’s an 

excellent time to plan your summer 

garden as spring is just around 

the corner. 

It’s harvest time for those winter 

maturing vegetables that were 

planted in late summer/autumn. 

Veges to harvest in July include 

artichoke (Jerusalem), broccoli, 

brussels sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers, 

carrots, celery, leeks, lettuce, 

parsnips, silver beet, spinach 

and swedes. 

Continue to spread compost 

around maturing vegetables to help 

with excess water and improve the 

soil. Inspect your vegetable plants 

regularly for snails – they appear to 

become more cold-hardy every year. 

Where possible, prepare the soil 

for spring plantings, digging to a 

depth of 200mm and adding compost 

as you go. Ensure it is mixed 

in well. 

Winter flowering annuals should 

now be providing masses of colour 

in your gardens and containers. 

Remove dead flowers to encourage 

continuous blooming throughout 

winter. Flowering winter annuals 

include; ageratum, calendulas, 

cineraria, cornflower, nemesia, 

pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragon, 

stock and sweet pea. Top 

up existing plantings with ‘potted 

colour’ annuals that have been 

grown to the flowering stage. 

Complete pruning of deciduous 

fruit trees and spray with copper 

oxychloride to prevent fungal diseases 

reappearing in spring. Grapes 

and kiwifruit can also be pruned. 

Garden centres and nurseries now 

have new season fruit trees in stock. 

Plan your purchase carefully. 

Part of your fruit tree selection 

should be to ensure you have a 

year-round supply of fresh fruit. 

You can easily do this by planting a 

few varieties that crop at different 

times of the year. In warmer areas, 

a variety of citrus are now ripening, 

including mandarins, lemons, 

limes, grapefruit and early oranges. 

Last plantings of strawberries 

should be completed this month. 

Garden centres are bursting 

with new stock of a wide range of 

ornamental trees and shrubs. July 

is a very safe month for planting. 

Ensure your planting sites are 

well prepared with the addition of 

compost and have adequate drainage. 

Pop in a planting tab when 

planting your trees/shrubs to give 

them the best start. Plan out what 

and where you will plant. Check 

the heights that plants will grow to 

avoid overcrowding in future years. 

July is probably the main month 

for pruning roses throughout the 

country as the plants are now 

dormant. Don’t be afraid to prune 

your roses quite hard as rose 

bushes are increasingly resilient. 

Spread fresh compost around the 

base of the bushes. 

One week after pruning, spray 

with lime sulphur or a copper 

compound such as copper oxychloride 

to ward off fungal diseases 

(do not mix these sprays together), 

then three or four days later, apply 

a horticultural spray to kill off any 

overwintering pests (again do not 

mix with copper). 

Garden hygiene is very important 

with roses so remove any 

dead leaves or diseased wood from 

the ground. Remove these from 

the property as they can harbour 

overwintering fungal diseases and 

re-infect your plants come spring. 

Don’t forget about your houseplants 

in winter. Try not to overwater 

them. Many only require water 

once a week or fortnight. A light 

misting of foliage with warm water 

stops leaves from drying in warm 

indoor conditions. 

HARVEST: It’s time to eat those winter vegetables. 

BRIGHT: Flowering rhododendrons should now be in full bloom.

Theatre/Arts 

Teacher joins former students’ cast 

FIRST SHOW: Juliet Reynolds-Midgley 

(second from left) with fellow cast members 

Sophie Petersen, Nick Hollamby and Ben 

Robertson from So Keen Productions. 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

WHEN JULIET Reynolds- 

Midgley first heard her former 

students were creating their own 

theatre company, she jumped on 

board to help out right away. 

Having taught theatre entrepreneurs 

Sophie Petersen and 

Keeneth Love at the National 

Academy of Singing and Dramatic 

Art, she thought it would 

be great to take part in their new 

company’s first production. 

Reynolds-Midgley, 44, will star 

in So Keen Productions’ debut 

show Songs for a New World. She 

continues to teach at the NASDA. 

She described Petersen and 

Love’s new company as bringing 

a youthful energy to the arts 

scene. 

“They are making a splash,” she 

said. 

The spectrum of music which 

the show challenges its performers 

to sing – from gospel-style 

to jazz – and the fact Songs for a 

New World is rarely-staged in the 

city, is what drew her in to the 

part. 

“I have loved the songs for a 

very long time . . . each song is 

so beautifully crafted. It really 

is a snapshot of someone’s life,” 

Reynolds-Midgley said. 

The abstract musical is a collection 

of songs themed around “the 

moment of decision”. 

“It is the human condition – 

how we deal with relationships, 

adversity, and how we just laugh 

at things and bring humour to 

it,” she said. 

In her role as Woman 2, 

Reynolds-Midgley will sing four 

solos designed to be sung by four 

different women of the same age 

but from different time periods 

in history. 

“It could be the same woman in 

a variety of different situations,” 

she said. 

Born in Surrey, England, 

Reynolds-Midgley moved to 

New Zealand to study jazz at 

Music Arts – based at the former 

Christchurch Polytechnic Institute 

of Technology – in 1999 after 

her parents decided to retire in 

the area. 

It was there she met her 

husband Gwyn Reynolds, who 

is now head of the Music Arts 

school at Ara Institute of Canterbury. 

Growing up, she had no escape 

from the musical realm. Her 

father Vernon Midgley was a 

broadcaster and singer at the 

BBC, performing in many fulllength 

operas on its Radio 3 station. 

Reynolds-Midgley’s aunty, 

Maryetta Midgley, broadcasted 

regularly on BBC’s Radio 2 and 

appeared frequently in The Good 

Old Days on BBC television. 

Reynolds-Midgley’s mother 

and grandfather were also opera 

singers, while her grandmother 

was a pianist. 

She was cast into the limelight 

at a young age first performing in 

the CBS recording of South Pacific 

with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, 

Mandy Patinkin and Sarah 

Vaughan. 

She appeared as a soloist in her 

early 20s with the BBC Concert 

Orchestra for Radio 2 in a celebration 

of her father broadcasting 

for 25 years. 

“Just being put in front of 

people in a high-stake situation 

at that age, you soon learn some 

really good skills,” she said.

composed on Broadway

Fire-breather’s journey from warming up Crusaders fans to the stage 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

LEARNING TO breath fire 

could be seen as a daunting 

way to get into the city’s theatre 

scene. 

But that’s how Woolston’s 

Aaron Boyce, 48, debuted on the 

stage, blowing fire for the former 

Christchurch Drama Centre’s 

show Linnaeus Prince of Flowers. 

“Somebody said to me ‘do you 

want to be a fire breather?’ And 

I said I am willing to learn,” he 

said. 

Nearly 20 years down the 

track, Boyce may not be breathing 

flames in his latest show but 

he will play a key role in Top 

Dog Theatre’s latest show Up ‘N’ 

Under by John Godber. 

Set in England, the show is 

based around an ex-professional 

rugby league player called 

Arthur (Tom Trevella), who 

bets his life savings he can train 

a team to beat the undefeated 

Cobblers Arm. 

Boyce has two roles in the 

show. He plays Reg Welsh, a 

member of the Cobblers Arm, 

and amateur league player Steve, 

who helps form the team to take 

down the Cobblers Arm side. 

He described Steve as “flamboyant” 

and a “bit of a lad” 

while Reg Welsh is mature and 

well-to-do, with a bit of coin 

behind him. He said Steve is 

basically the comic relief in the 

ENTERTAINING: The Up “N” 

Under cast (from left) Aaron 

Boyce, Dougal Frame, Miriam 

van Voorthuizen, Darren 

Sundborn, Dan Crossen and 

Tom Trevella. 

show. Taking part in the show 

was a reunion for Boyce who 

first performed with fellow 

actors Tom Trevella and Dan 

Crossen in the Top Dog Theatre 

production The Merchant of 

Venice in 2005. 

Since his debut as a fire 

breather, Boyce has performed 

with a variety of theatre 

companies, including Showbiz 

Christchurch and Riccarton 

Players. 

In spite of burning himself 

the odd time, Boyce still enjoys 

breathing fire on occasion. 

In 1996, when Boyce was fireblowing 

at a Crusaders game, he 

suffered minor burns and loss of 

hair and eyebrows. 

“I blew straight into a 

nor’wester and the flames just 

came straight back at me,” he 

said.

Travel 

Showcasing culture and cuisine 

• By Mike Yardley 

IN STARK contrast to Tokyo’s 

big-city bling and buzz, Kyoto 

is where to head if you want to 

draw deeply from Japan’s cultural 

well and its commanding 

showcase of traditional cuisine. 

A sure-fire way to immerse 

yourself in the sheer 

magnificence of Kyoto’s foodie 

scene is to join an expertly 

guided tour. 

I enlisted the specialists at 

Japan Wonder Travel and joined 

their Nishiki FooDrink Tour. 

My three hour exploratory 

began in the heart of Kyoto’s 

shopping district on Shijo-dori, 

lined with luxury boutiques and 

elegant department stores, where 

immaculately coiffured women 

are attired in kimonos. 

Running parallel with Shijodori, 

a block back, is the showstopping 

foodie mecca of Nishiki 

St, home to the 400-year-old 

Nishiki Market. This vast and 

venerable covered emporium, 

which stretches for 400-long 

metres, is understandably 

acclaimed as the kitchen of 

Kyoto. 

Before we plunged head-first 

into this market frenzy, bursting 

at the seams with 130 specialist 

stores, our guide Tatsuya 

(right) led us to a stunning 

doughnut shop, adjacent to the 

entrance. Mai Doughnuts has a 

fostered cult following amongst 

Kyotoites, who flock to munch 

on their soy milk doughnuts, 

which are much lighter and 

fluffier parcels of deliciousness, 

compared to their Western 

contemporaries. And they’re not 

saccharine-sweet. 

Tatsuya then led us into the 

head-spinning trading throng of 

Nishiki’s cavernous wonderland, 

which was teeming with the 

collision of wide-eyed cameratoting 

tourists and seasoned 

locals, concertedly going about 

their shopping. They know the 

place inside-out, as if it was their 

own pantry. 

From the eels arranged on 

beds of ice like necklaces or 

woven baskets brimming with 

fresh chestnuts, the culinary 

offerings are a triumph of 

food art. All of the fresh fish is 

packaged, so it doesn’t smell. 

Grilled squid, tempura, rice 

balls… even the most humble 

of items are royally displayed 

like treasures. The signage left 

me completely baffled, but most 

shops are only too happy to let 

you graze on free samplings. 

Tatsuya’s advice? Try 

everything — it won’t kill you. 

Some of the market shops 

are old-timers, like Uchida, 

which has been selling pickled 

vegetables here, like eggplants, 

radish and pumpkin, for 80 

years. 

Miki Keiran is famed for its 

fluffy dashi maki (omelette) 

made with kelp stock. We 

snacked our way through the 

market with hearty, voracious 

intent, sampling hamo 

(daggertooth conger eel), fried 

fish cakes, yuba sashimi and 

omusubi (high-quality rice balls) 

and peanut rice crackerballs! 

We sampled sake in a shop 

run by the same family across 

18 generations! And then 

there’s the green tea, iconic of 

Kyoto. Matcha powder is used 

to make the tea and Matcha 

mania has transformed Kyoto’s 

confectionary, with a stunning 

array of Matcha-laden sweets, 

including mochi and jellies. 

Tatsuya also ushered us into 

Nishiki Tenmangu Shrine, a 

gorgeous little shrine that is 

dedicated to the Shinto god of 

learning. We noticed students 

popping in, to ring bells, clap 

hands and pray for good grades 

or to pass a test. The shrine is 

more than a thousand years old! 

With more than 1600 Buddhist 

temples and 400 Shinto shrines, 

Kyoto’s cultural reverence runs 

deep. 

A superb accommodation 

option is the Kyoto Tokyu Hotel 

(above), which embodies the 

refined charm and traditional 

design qualities of Kyoto 

throughout its property. 

Centrally located in the old city, 

the hotel upholds the spirit of 

miyabi, an aesthetic ideal akin to 

isolated elegance. 

There’s a restful, serene 

ambience throughout the 

hotel, accentuated by a glorious 

waterfall garden in the central 

courtyard. The staff, as you’d 

expect, are incredibly gracious, 

warm and attentive. 

Featuring sleek, sophisticated 

décor inspired by nature, Kyoto 

Tokyu Hotel offers an authentic 

flavour of Japanese hospitality, 

with all of the creature comforts 

and luxuries you’d expected from 

an upscale hotel. 

Be sure to dine at Kazahana, 

which exudes a nostalgic 

ambience with its classic Kyoto 

specialities. Offering all day 

dining, including a sterling 

buffet breakfast, Kazahana 

features an open kitchen with 

chefs cooking before your eyes.

It’s like sudoku: each 

vertical and horizontal 

line has to contain 

the numbers 1-6, and 

the numbers can’t be 

repeated in any row or 

column. 

But it’s sudoku with a 

twist: The numbers in 

each heavily outlined 

set of squares, called 

cages, must produce the 

number in the top corner. 

For example, 5+ means 

the numbers add up to 5, 

9x means the numbers 

multiply to equal 9. 

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

same line or row.

Fitting send-off planned for Vatuvei 

.kiwi 

DEPARTING Warriors wing 

Manu Vatuvei has been named 

in the No 5 jersey one last 

time although he won’t feature 

in Friday’s NRL clash against 

Penrith. 

The 31-year-old is an honorary 

selection only in an extended 24- 

man squad with Ken Maumalo 

confirmed to start against the 

Panthers on the left wing in 

jersey No 21. 

The tribute is part of the club’s 

comprehensive plans to farewell 

‘The Beast’ in style, before he 

leaves New Zealand on Saturday 

to join UK Super League side 

Salford. 

The club’s Penrose home 

ground is being renamed 

‘Manu Vatuvei Stadium’ for 

the night and the 226-game 

veteran will be introduced to the 

crowd when he leads the side out 

before kick-off. 

Warriors players will also 

have his name, signature and 

club number embroidered in 

their playing jerseys and will 

warm-up in special T-shirts 

emblazoned with Vatuvei #115 

on the back. 

“While Manu isn’t contractually 

able to play for us on Friday 

night, I really wanted to honour 

him by including him in our 

team list,” said Warriors coach 

Stephen Kearney. 

“He’s one of the club’s greatest 

players and we are really looking 

forward to giving him a fitting 

send-off on Friday night. 

“He won’t play but he’ll 

certainly run down the tunnel 

before kick-off one last time.” 

While Vatuvei will be reduced 

to a spectator role, the 10thranked 

Warriors welcome back 

hooker Issac Luke and centre 

Solomone Kata, as they look to 

leapfrog the ninth-placed Panthers 

on the NRL ladder. 

Luke returns after overcoming 

a dislocated shoulder suffered 

in the round 16 win over the 

Bulldogs, while Kata reclaims 

his position after returning from 

bereavement leave following the 

recent passing of his brother in 

Tonga. – NZ Herald

More Havilis poised for Crusaders 

• By Gordon Findlater 

DAVID HAVILI has made 

a name for himself in the 

Crusaders this season and soon 

enough he may not be the only 

Havili in red and black. 

We’ve seen plenty of Whitelocks 

run out for Canterbury and 

the Crusaders, and two of the 

three Barretts have also graced 

AMI Stadium. Could the Havilis 

be the next family to dominate 

Super Rugby? 

After slowly making a name 

for himself with Tasman and the 

Crusaders, David has experienced 

a breakout season for the 

Crusaders in 2017. 

It may not be long until his 

younger brother William Havili 

is knocking on the Super Rugby 

door. The first-five was a standout 

for Nelson College during his 

final year in 2016. He notched 

up 134 points in last year’s UC 

Championship and is expected 

to feature alongside his older 

brother in this year’s NPC. 

“It would be awesome to run 

on with (William), but he’s got 

to perform in club rugby and the 

warm-up games going into the 

season,” David said. 

Another Havili is also making 

a name for himself in the UC 

Championship with Nelson 

College. 

Caleb Havili is the cousin of 

David and William. The lock is 

currently in Christchurch after 

attending the Junior Knights development 

camp which is run by 

the Crusaders. The camp brings 

together top secondary school 

players in the Crusaders region. 

Yesterday, Caleb was chosen 

in the 25-man squad to play 

the Hurricanes under-18s in a 

curtain-raiser to the Crusaders v 

Hurricanes Super Rugby match 

in Wellington on Saturday. 

“I try not to let people know 

that I’m a Havili. When they 

find out, they always ask if I’m 

related to William and David,” 

said Caleb. 

The two older Havilis play in 

the backs, whereas Caleb is one 

of the biggest locks around at 

secondary school level. All come 

from strong rugby backgrounds. 

David and William’s father 

played for Nelson Bays, while 

Caleb’s father was a lock for 

Tonga. 

“My Dad is a bit bigger than 

their Dad, so I guess we got the 

bigger genes,” said Caleb. 

Off the field, the Havilis like to 

FAMILY: David Havili (left) may soon be joined at the Crusaders by his cousin Caleb and brother 

William. 

take a hands-on approach. 

Before joining the Crusaders, 

David was working towards a 

building apprenticeship, something 

William is also currently 

undertaking. Meanwhile, Caleb 

plans on becoming a mechanic 

after his time at school. 

“If I’ve got someone to fix up 

the house and someone to fix 

up the car that sounds pretty 

handy,” said David. 

While making the transition 

from secondary school rugby to 

Super Rugby is a difficult task, 

the prospect of three Havilis 

running onto AMI Stadium in 

the future isn’t off the cards. 

Dunn stable being 

probed for positive 

caffeine tests 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE ROBERT Dunn Racing Stable 

is under investigation after returning 

positive swabs for a banned substance. 

The Racing Integrity Unit is 

investigating positive swabs containing 

caffeine which were taken at the Nelson 

Winter Cup twoday 

meeting on 

June 9 and 11. 

Integrity unit 

chief investigator 

Neil Grimstone 

refused to give 

details of the 

investigation, other 

than to confirm a 

number of horses 

from the Dunn 

Robert Dunn 

stable produced 

positive tests. 

The stable had 

four wins at the meeting. Billy Badger 

won twice, including the Winter Cup. 

Dream to Reality and Hayden’s Meddle 

also won races. 

Mr Grimstone would not say how 

many horses had returned positive tests 

but The Star understands it could be as 

many as five. 

Harness Racing New Zealand chief 

executive Edward Rennell says the case 

is an unusual one because everyone in 

the racing industry knows that caffeine is 

easy to test for. 

Robert Dunn told The Star yesterday he 

was mystified by the positive swabs. 

“It’s just one 

of those things. 

Somehow it’s got 

into our test. It 

could have been 

contamination but 

we don’t know at 

this stage,” he said. 

Dunn has 

three previous 

convictions for 

Neil Grimstone 

breaches of the 

prohibited substance 

rule. 

The first was in Australia in 1992, 

which resulted in a six-month suspension 

of his trainer’s licence. 

The second was in New Zealand in 

2004 and resulted in a $500 fine. 

The most recent was in June last year 

and resulted in a $4000 fine.


Sport 

Big decisions remain over workload of All Blacks 

FROM ALLIES to enemies, the 

Crusaders and Hurricanes will 

put their All Blacks friendships 

on hold this week for their 

final Super Rugby round-robin 

match and Steve Hansen will be 

watching closely to see who of 

his senior players will be selected 

after such a torrid Lions series. 

The All Blacks coach hinted a 

day after the 15-15 draw at Eden 

Park, which tied the series, that 

he would like to think some of 

his Crusaders players might be 

rested from Saturday’s match at 

Westpac Stadium ahead of their 

quarter-final a week later. 

Skipper Kieran Read is an 

obvious player who needs to be 

carefully managed over the next 

few weeks, and his Crusaders 

teammate Sam Whitelock is another. 

Even hooker Codie Taylor, 

who started all three tests in the 

absence of Dane Coles and, like 

Whitelock, Owen Franks, Joe 

Moody and Israel Dagg, played 

against the Lions in Christchurch 


.kiwi 

four weeks ago, will need to be 

monitored. 

All of which puts Crusaders 

coach Scott Robertson in a tricky 

position. Robertson’s twin priorities 

are obviously player welfare 

but also topping the points table 

after the round-robin in order to 

qualify for a home final should 

his team get that far. At the moment 

the Crusaders are leading 

by two points over the Johannesburg-based 

Lions. If Robertson’s 

men suffer their first loss of the 


season against the Hurricanes in 

Wellington, and the Lions beat 

the Sharks at Kings Park on Sunday 

morning, then the Crusaders 

face the prospect of travelling to 

Ellis Park for the final. 

The Hurricanes are currently 

fifth, one point above the Chiefs, 

and would like to stay there in 

order to play a potential quarterfinal 

against the Brumbies in 

Canberra rather than having to 

travel all the way to Cape Town 

to play the Stormers. Reinforcing 

the need for care from both 

Robertson and his opposite 

Chris Boyd is the fact that the 

Crusaders’ 20-12 victory over the 

Hurricanes in round 12 in May 

was one of the matches of the 

season in terms of its intensity. 

No 10 Beauden Barrett will 

have to be looked after by Boyd, 

but the Hurricanes are lucky in 

that their forwards haven’t had 

the battering that the Crusaders’ 

pack have had in the series.

• By Ross Kiddie 

THE LAUNCH of Holden’s 

latest generation Barina 

presented a few surprises. 

Gone is the sporty RS 

model, and gone, too, is the 

delightful 1.4-litre turbocharged 

engine. 

The new range has a 

1.6-litre naturally-aspirated 

engine only and is available 

in just two specifications 

LS and LT; the LS 

at $22,490 gets a manual 

gearbox or an automatic for 

an extra $1500 while the LS 

as tested is automatic only 

and sits at $25,990. 

It doesn’t surprise me 

that the Barina range has 

been rationalised a little, 

the small hatchback segment 

is a tough market to 

conquer, and efficiencies 

within a line-up are crucial 

to models being competitive. 

All that aside, the new 

Barina hasn’t lost any of the 

concept which has made it 

a popular model here, the 

cheeky five-door punches 

above its weight with high 

in-cabin comfort, a good 

level of specification, and 

performance and economy 

you would expect from a 

vibrant 1598cc engine. 

Holden rate the 16-valve 

unit with an 85kW power 

output and 155Nm of 

torque. It is an engine 

which likes to work hard, 

but the designers haven’t 

lost sight of the fact that a 

car like the Barina is destined 

for a life working at a 

slower pace and hauling in 

acceleration at city speeds. 

Even in these conditions 

the engine works tirelessly 

and has a torque structure 

which doesn’t struggle 

against a free-revving 

nature. It is coupled to a 

six-speed automatic and 

the low and close ratios 

provide an almost seamless 

flow of power. There’s 

a manual sequential shifting 

control function at the 

main shifter itself which 

can be manipulated by the 

driver’s thumb, it is quite 

intuitive and doesn’t necessitate 

movement of the 

gearshift lever. 

Together the transmission 

and engine work in 

harmony, the engine is 

refined as well as having 

the necessary power 

outputs to glean lively 

acceleration along with the 

efficiencies needed to lure 

the fuel-conscious buyer. 

The important figures 

are a 11.2sec time to make 

HOLDEN BARINA: Fuel-efficient engine. 

100km/h from a standstill, 

and a combined cycle claim 

of 7.2-litres per 100km 

(39mpg). I worked the 

engine quite hard during 

testing time but it 

still returned an 8/100km 

(35mpg) figure. That 

along with a 6.2l/100km 

(46mpg) instantaneous 

figure at 100km/h, the 

engine is unstressed at that 

speed turning over at just 

2250rpm. 

• Price – Holden 

Barina LT, $25,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4039mm; 

width, 1735mm; 

height, 1517mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1598cc, 

85kW, 155Nm, sixspeed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11.2.sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.2l/100km 

For that highway 

overtake the engine works 

well through the midrange, 

a kick-down, or 

manual shift to third or 

fourth gear will initiate a 

6.8sec, 80-120km/h time. 

The Barina is also an 

agile, nimble model when 

asked to tackle a quick 

corner or two. It rides on 

high-quality Continental 

tyres (205/50 x 17in), they 

command grip and force 

under load doesn’t have 

them complaining. There is 

positive directional accuracy 

and precise turn-in, the 

steering isn’t overly quick 

but it is sharp enough to 

exude a sporty feel. 

In saying that, you have 

to take into account the 

Barina’s suspension isn’t 

sophisticated, a tube beam 

rear axle doesn’t allow a 

lot of suspension freedom 

but, that aside, its handling 

must be described as well 

above satisfactory. 

The spring and damper 

rates are also set up for a 

comfortable in-cabin ride, 

they accept the big hits 

from Christchurch’s uneven 

road surfaces without too 

much shock entering the 

cabin. 

That is an area Holden 

have done well with; 

even though the Barina 

is sourced from Korea, 

it has been engineered 

for Australian and New 

Zealand conditions 

through development work 

at Holden’s Melbourne 

testing facility. The result 

is a quiet-riding, good handling 

and comfortable car 

which does little wrong in 

terms of performance and 

handling. 

It is also specced well, 

even in low grade form. 

The higher grade LS gets 

an artificial leather trim 

while the front are seats 

heated for those frosty 

Christchurch mornings. 

My Link infotainment, 

keyless entry and ignition, 

cruise control, height 

adjustable driver’s seat and 

advanced trip computer 

settings are all fitted. It 

must be mentioned too, the 

new Barina qualifies for a 

five-star Australasian New 

Car Assessment Program 

safety rating. 

As history has served 

to prove, Holden is the 

past master at introducing 

new variants in a model’s 

life-cycle and I’m sure the 

Barina won’t be any different. 

I know Holden on both 

sides of the Tasman are 

concentrating hard on having 

an entire line-up compatible 

with New Zealand’s 

demands when Australian 

manufacture finishes at the 

end of this year, so it may 

be some time before Barina 

evolves. 

In the interim, I 

wouldn’t let that prevent 

me from a purchase if I was 

a small, five-door hatchback 

buyer.

Home 

& Property 

Are two real estate agencies 

better than one when it 

comes to selling your house? 

It has become less common to see 

properties festooned with a variety of 

‘for sale’ signs, but whether you choose 

to work with one agency or several is 

all a matter of personal choice. Either 

way, there are a few important things to 

bear in mind. 

Both options require the signing 

of a legal contract between you 

and the agency involved. These 

contracts, known as agency or ‘listing’ 

agreements, are legally binding so it’s 

a good idea to get advice from your 

lawyer before you sign. 

As the name suggests, a general 

agency agreement gives more than 

one agency the right to market your 

property. You will be asked to sign a 

general agency agreement with each 

agency. Each one will work with you to 

arrange open homes, and they will all 

market the property differently. 

“If you opt for a sole or ‘exclusive’ 

agency agreement, you are giving one 

agent or agency the exclusive right 

to market and sell your property,” 

explains Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief 

executive of the Real Estate Agents 

Authority (REAA). 

“If you sign a sole agency agreement 

you should not sign another agency 

agreement with any other agent until 

you have cancelled the first agreement. 

If you don’t, you may have to pay all 

agents a commission, regardless of 

which one arranged the sale.” 

Make sure you check what happens 

when the sole agency agreement 

is cancelled. Some sole agency 

agreements become general agency 

agreements when cancelled – this 

means that you will also have to cancel 

the general agency agreement if you no 

longer want to work with the agency. 

If you change your mind after 

signing a sole agency agreement 

you can cancel it by 5pm on the first 

working day after you have been given 

a copy. This must be done in writing 

(such as letter, email or fax). 

“Whether you choose one agency 

or take the general agency approach, 

the Real Estate Agents Authority 

recommends using agencies that

choose to use specific clauses that we 

have designed to reduce the risk to you 

of paying two commissions,” Lampen- 

Smith says. 

“These clauses help protect you by 

making it clear when the agreement 

ends and when you need to pay a 

commission.” 

If you don’t use these agencies, your 

sole agency agreement for a residential 

property may be for a term longer 

than 90 days. You should note though 

that you or the agent can cancel the 

agreement at any time after those 90 

days. 

“However, if an agent carries out any 

work before the agreement is cancelled 

and that work results in the sale of 

the property after the agreement is 

cancelled, the agency agreement will 

be legally binding and you may have to 

pay the agent commission,” Lampen- 

Smith says. 

When a general or sole agency 

agreement is cancelled your agent 

must give you a list of people they 

have introduced to the property. If you 

subsequently sell to one of these people 

through a new agent, the first agent 

may still be entitled to a commission. 

In theory, multiple representation 

means the property will be seen by 

a larger number of potential buyers, 

so it has a greater chance of selling 

at a higher price. However, the risk 

in this arrangement is that because 

no one agent is solely responsible for 

marketing the property, they may 

be less committed to selling it. By 

contrast, a sole agency listing means 

the agent is obligated to do their best to 

sell the property.

clauses, and a list of agencies that use 

them, visit www.reaa.govt.nz.

Grateful 

for others’ 

generosity 

Quite literally life-changing 

is how former Brooklands resident Kathryn Jackson 

describes the Red Cross hardship and storage grants they 

received after the 2010 and 2011 Christchurch earthquakes. 

Kathryn, her husband Andy, and their son Cam were living in 

the now red-zoned northern Christchurch suburb and had just 

received approval to extend their “dream home” when the 

September 2010 earthquake hit. 

As the weeks of chaos with no running water or amenities 

progressed and their land was declared red-zoned, the 

Jacksons received a storage grant that paid for a shipping 

container to be placed on land they bought near Amberley. 

They then built a small sleep-out – “an escape bolt-hole” – that 

they lived in while their future home was constructed nearby. 

Now happily settled in the Hurunui, the Jacksons will eternally 

be grateful for the small financial difference New Zealand 

Red Cross made to their lives, made possible by the generous 

donations Red Cross received through its 2011 Canterbury 

Earthquake Appeal. 

The Jacksons’ story is one that rings true with thousands of 

families who faced loss, hardship and life-altering circumstances 

after the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes. 

Immediately after the quakes struck, New Zealand Red Cross 

established the Appeal and received more than $131 million 

in donations from people, businesses and Red Cross societies 

around the world. 

Through those donations New Zealand Red Cross has 

helped one in five Cantabrians with their recovery from the 

earthquakes. As well as a wide range of grants to target specific 

needs in the community, Red Cross regularly knocked on doors 

across the city, provided well-being workshops and messaging 

and worked closely with a range of specialist community 

organisations to improve the lives of those who might have 

otherwise gone unnoticed. 

In collaboration with Star Media, Red Cross has launched a 

suite of videos called “10 Good Stories” that highlights the 

good work done through the greater Christchurch Earthquake 

Recovery Programme between 2011 and 2016. You can watch 

them at redcross.org.nz. 

Former Brooklands red-zone residents Andy Cam and Kathryn Jackson have settled into their new home near Amberley.

Using coffee to promote preparedness 

Think preparing for a disaster is boring? Having a cup of 

coffee with the neighbours could be just as important 

as storing water and food for three days. With Red 

Cross providing free, barista-made coffee around 

Christchurch suburbs, it’s easier than ever to connect 

with your neighbours. 

Knowing your neighbours and 

being socially connected is just as 

important as having an up-to-date 

emergency kit, 

New Zealand Red Cross Recovery Manager Michael 

Donoghue explains. 

“Those around you are more likely to provide practical 

help or a listening ear during, and immediately after, 

an emergency. Communities where people are better 

connected socially recover more quickly from an event, 

and Red Cross wants to help build and strengthen that 

social connectedness.” 

To help neighbours break the ice, Red Cross is touring 

the suburbs with a coffee cart dubbed ‘Buzz’ and a 

barbecue trailer. The cart and trailer are two of many 

Red Cross projects under the ‘Here For Good’ banner 

designed to enhance the city’s social connections 

and resilience.

redcross.org.nz or call 0800 REDCROSS.

recover from Nov EQ 

Kelly and Frannco Riella Fernandes enjoying the “mums and bubs” drop-in 

centre in Kaikoura. 

Seven months after the massive 7.8 magnitude 

earthquake on 14 November 2016, New Zealand 

Red Cross is working closely with the people 

affected and assisting their recovery. 

The $3.5 million raised through the Red Cross 

2016 November Earthquake Appeal will all be 

spent helping affected residents recover from 

the disaster. 

With help from the Rural Support Trust, Red Cross 

staff and volunteers conducted a comprehensive 

outreach programme across the earthquake-hit 

regions of Marlborough, Kaikoura and Hurunui, 

visiting every home to see how people were 

getting on. 

Findings from this door-knocking initiative have 

helped shape the direction of the Red Cross 

November 2016 Recovery programme. 

This is a complex recovery. 

Our teams discovered that 

different communities face 

their own unique issues. 

“It’s important that we identify and address these 

needs effectively instead of applying a one-sizefits-all 

approach,” Red Cross Secretary General 

Niamh Lawless says. 

“For example, we are running drop-in centres 

in Kaikoura for young parents and earthquakeaffected 

residents, but found in places like 

Seddon that providing free well-being workshops, 

psychological first aid courses, and children’s 

books with strong preparedness and anxiety 

messaging is more relevant.” 

The $1,000 Damaged Home Grants Red Cross 

launched in December saw Red Cross receive 

400 applications and distribute $341,000 to 

affected residents. 

During March Red Cross conducted a series of 

recovery workshops with renowned Australian 

disaster psychologist Dr Rob Gordon across the 

regions. An estimated 200 people attended the six 

community sessions where Dr Gordon to explain 

the recovery process and provide practical tips to 

aid each person’s recovery.
