DISAPPOINTED: Animal-lover Maddie Collins, with her pony, Trig, and mother, Sarah Manson Collins, has been left feeling<br />
shattered after a bogus $1.5m donation pledge, which would have paid for the kidney treatment she needs.<br />
Cruel blow to sick teenager<br />
after bogus $1.5m pledge<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
THE FAMILY of Maddie<br />
Collins is devastated a<br />
$1.5 million pledge that could<br />
save the teenager’s life appears<br />
to be bogus.<br />
A middle-aged woman told<br />
the family she would donate<br />
the money from a $42 million<br />
inheritance, enough to pay for<br />
Maddie’s treatment for kidney<br />
failure.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman visited the family’s<br />
home to discuss the donation<br />
and continually phones and<br />
Facebook messages them.<br />
But Maddie’s mother Sarah<br />
Manson Collins now believes<br />
the offer is false.<br />
It has distressed the family<br />
considerably.<br />
“It’s that utter sense of false<br />
hope. When we met her we<br />
thought all our stresses and<br />
worries were gone,” Mrs<br />
Manson Collins told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
“We thought we’ll get the<br />
transplant, and by next year<br />
Maddie will be fighting fit and<br />
able to get on with life,” she said.<br />
Maddie, 13, has kidney failure<br />
with potentially life-threatening<br />
complications. Her family has<br />
been involved in a high profile<br />
fundraising campaign to get her<br />
a kidney transplant and follow<br />
up treatment in the United<br />
States.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y visited the Baltimore<br />
hospital where the operation<br />
will take place last month and<br />
were told the cost had jumped<br />
from $350,000 to more than<br />
$700,000.<br />
About $170,000 has so far<br />
been raised for the St Margaret’s<br />
College year 9 student.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family was approached by<br />
the woman via Facebook early<br />
last month who asked to meet<br />
in person at their West Melton<br />
home to give them a cheque.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman spent an hour at<br />
their home but didn’t have the<br />
cheque, saying she needed to<br />
organise it with the bank.<br />
Since then the woman has<br />
made many more promises to<br />
pay, which haven’t eventuated.<br />

Arrest<br />
in serial<br />
arson<br />
case<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A MAN in his 30s has been<br />
arrested for a spate of arsons that<br />
struck fear into residents in the<br />
Burnside and Ilam areas.<br />
Police charged the man late<br />
yesterday with seven counts of<br />
arson relating to wheelie bin fires<br />
dating back to May.<br />
He had been apprehended by<br />
a police patrol at the weekend<br />
after a wheelie bin was allegedly<br />
set alight near the intersection<br />
of Memorial Ave and Greers Rd,<br />
and charged with one count of<br />
arson.<br />
Detectives have been making<br />
further inquiries, which led to<br />
yesterday’s charges.<br />
He is scheduled to appear in<br />
the district court today.<br />
He will also face charges<br />
relating to the Misuse of Drugs<br />
Act.<br />
Detective Senior Sergeant Mark<br />
Worner said it was possible more<br />
charges will be laid.<br />
More than 10 wheelie bins were<br />
set on fire, with some that were<br />
close to houses causing damage<br />
to the dwellings.<br />

LIFE HAS a habit of serving<br />
up lots of surprises, good ones<br />
at times, but unfortunately bad<br />
ones too.<br />
Sarah Manson Collins and<br />
her family are used to dealing<br />
with the bad news. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
daughter Maddie, 13, has a rare<br />
kidney condition and it will<br />
cost more than $700,000 to sort<br />
out.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been a number<br />
of high profile fundraising<br />
activities and, so far, about<br />
$170,000 is in the kitty.<br />
But $700k is a Mt Everest<br />
they will struggle to climb.<br />
When a woman called them<br />
last month after hearing of<br />
Maddie’s plight and offered<br />
$1.5 million out of a huge<br />
inheritance, they thought good<br />
luck at last.<br />
As we reveal on page 1 today,<br />
the woman visited the family<br />
home, but failed to bring the<br />
cheque she had promised.<br />
She gave an excuse so not all<br />
was lost. But those excuses have<br />
been almost daily, and now the<br />
family has given up hope.<br />
That’s a cruel blow.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw the Government Life Building opened<br />
in Cathedral Sq. It was the city’s first “high rise glass box” but<br />
was demolished following the earthquakes. On <strong>July</strong> 19, 1880,<br />
Lincoln College opened, which was the first agricultural college<br />
in the Southern Hemisphere. On the same date in 1988, Jock Orr,<br />
nicknamed ‘<strong>The</strong> Birdman’ after befriending birds in Cathedral Sq,<br />
died. Canterbury defeated North Otago 88-0 in a record Ranfurly<br />
Shield match score at Lancaster Park. On <strong>July</strong> 23, 1851, Pioneer<br />
William Deans was among 28 lost in the wreck of the Maria in<br />
Cook Strait. John Godley had tried to deprive the Deans and Hay<br />
families of their farms because he wanted only Anglicans to own<br />
land in the new settlement. <strong>The</strong> Deans’ brothers sold sheep to<br />
pay the legal costs of fighting Godley’s high-handed action, and<br />
William Deans was travelling to Sydney to buy replacement stock.<br />

Former policeman on cannabis charge<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A FORMER police officer and<br />
his son have been charged with<br />
cultivation of cannabis.<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
A JUNIOR female rugby coach<br />
has been stood down after she<br />
allegedly verbally and physically<br />
abused a young player and<br />
grabbed him by the collar<br />
during a match.<br />
West Melton under-14.5s<br />
coach Amanda Tomlinson<br />
has been sidelined while the<br />
Canterbury Rugby Football<br />
Union investigates the<br />
matter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> incident happened<br />
during her team’s match against<br />
Lincoln under-14.5s on <strong>July</strong> 8.<br />
A complaint was laid against<br />
Tomlinson by the Lincoln<br />
Rugby Club.<br />
Speaking to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
yesterday, Tomlinson said she<br />
grabbed the Lincoln player by<br />
his collar after he kicked a player<br />
from her team in the mouth<br />
during the match.<br />
“I didn’t physically assault<br />
him, I didn’t. I grabbed him<br />
by the collar of his shirt so he<br />
would look me in the eye,” she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> West Melton player<br />
needed dental surgery, she said.<br />
“His teeth were facing his<br />
tonsils, basically. That doesn’t<br />
happen in a game of rugby,” she<br />
said.<br />
Tomlinson regretted what<br />
happened, but said she had<br />
to intervene before the boy’s<br />
“behaviour escalates”.<br />
She said she talked with the<br />
boy again after the match and<br />
made peace with him.<br />
“We’ve talked, we’ve hugged<br />
each other,” she said.<br />
Tomlinson said she was upset<br />
a complaint had been laid.<br />
“I spend so much of my<br />
time with these young teams,<br />
Craig Paul Richardson, 51,<br />
and Joel Tobias Richardson, 24,<br />
will appear in the district court<br />
on <strong>July</strong> 27.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir arrests came after police<br />
two hours on a Tuesday or a<br />
Thursday and two or three<br />
hours on a Saturday, and for<br />
no reward. So it just hurts,” she<br />
said.<br />
A decision on the initial<br />
CRFU investigation is expected<br />
early next week. It will then be<br />
decided if a formal hearing is<br />
required.<br />
Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union<br />
raided a New Brighton property<br />
earlier this month and allegedly<br />
found about 50 plants of varying<br />
maturity and a further 32 which<br />
had been recently harvested.<br />
president Stuart Boon, who initially<br />
received the complaint before<br />
sending it on to the CRFU,<br />
could not discuss details while<br />
the investigation was under way.<br />
No complaints had been<br />
laid about the behaviour of<br />
the player, but that would also<br />
be looked at as part of the<br />
investigation.<br />
Lincoln Rugby Club junior<br />
Craig Richardson was a police<br />
officer in Christchurch in the<br />
1980s and 90s.<br />
Court documents listed his<br />
son’s occupation as a chef.<br />
Junior coach stood down<br />
STOOD DOWN: <strong>The</strong> West Melton under-14.5 team, which is coached by Amanda Tomlinson<br />
(inset), before the match in which the incident happened.<br />
advisory board manager Mike<br />
Kingston said the boy who had<br />
been grabbed by Tomlinson was<br />
not injured.<br />
He would not comment on<br />
Tomlinson saying the Lincoln<br />
player had kicked a West Melton<br />
opponent in the face.<br />
West Melton Rugby Football<br />
Club president Anthony Calder<br />
refused to comment.<br />
In Brief<br />
VEHICLE BREAK-INS<br />
Twelve vehicles were broken into<br />
with loose coins and electronics<br />
stolen earlier this week. Police<br />
said seven vehicles were broken<br />
into in Bryndwr and Fendalton on<br />
Monday night and Tuesday morning,<br />
and five in Waltham. Many<br />
were parked in driveways. Senior<br />
Sergeant Vaughn Lapslie said while<br />
police were focusing on vehicle<br />
crime, owners still needed to ensure<br />
they did not leave valuables in<br />
their vehicles.<br />
FREEDOM CAMPING REPORT<br />
A report on whether further<br />
changes should be made to the<br />
Freedom Camping Bylaw will be<br />
presented to city councillors in<br />
September. City council head of<br />
strategic policy Helen Beaumont<br />
said once the report has been<br />
received, it would decide whether<br />
to make further changes to the<br />
bylaw, or retain the current rules.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council was forced to<br />
amend the rules in December<br />
after the city was inundated<br />
with freedom campers, resulting<br />
in overcrowding, unsanitary<br />
conditions and complaints.<br />
GREEN CENTRAL CANDIDATE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Green Party has selected<br />
lawyer Peter Richardson as its<br />
Christchurch Central candidate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mairehau resident, who is<br />
a partner at Linwood Law, will<br />
run against National MP Nicky<br />
Wagner and lawyer Duncan<br />
Webb, who is standing for Labour.<br />
Mr Richardson said he is deeply<br />
committed to protecting the city’s<br />
water, environment and families.<br />
<strong>The</strong> general election will be held on<br />
September 23.<br />

Cruel blow to sick teenager<br />
after bogus $1.5m pledge<br />
•From page 1<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest was yesterday<br />
morning when the woman said<br />
on Facebook Messenger she had<br />
arranged the bank transfer on<br />
Monday, but could not check it<br />
as she said she was on holiday in<br />
Dunedin.<br />
In the message she told Mrs<br />
Manson Collins: “A transfer did<br />
go out but not too sure where.<br />
“Sorry about this mucking<br />
around it would be stressful time<br />
for you all. Not just Maddie but<br />
the whole family.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> constant hope of the<br />
donation was cruel.<br />
“That could mean my<br />
daughter’s life,” said Mrs Manson<br />
Collins.<br />
She said the woman seemed<br />
genuine when she visited the<br />
house. She was aged in her 50s.<br />
She was completely bewildered<br />
about why the woman would do<br />
that to them, or what she was trying<br />
to achieve.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family are looking to get<br />
a kidney transplant at the John<br />
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,<br />
as there is more chance of getting<br />
a donated kidney, and the treatment<br />
offered there would make<br />
it more likely Maddie’s body<br />
would accept it, even if it was not<br />
a perfect match. Maddie’s father,<br />
Adam Collins, donated one of his<br />
kidneys to her in <strong>20</strong>12, but her<br />
body rejected it.<br />
This year Maddie was told the<br />
daily dialysis treatment she is on<br />
has put so much strain on her<br />
heart, she was at risk of a heart<br />
attack. That made the need for a<br />
kidney transplant more urgent.<br />
Attempts by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> to contact<br />
the woman, whom we have<br />
decided not to name, have been<br />
futile.<br />
But a family member tracked<br />
down said she had been known to<br />
have “told some whoppers” in the<br />
past. He was unaware of the $42<br />
million inheritance.<br />

Seeing double: Facebook<br />
reacts to a Todd lookalike<br />
• By Gordon Findlater and<br />
Andrew King<br />
LOOK FAMILIAR? According<br />
to social media comments,<br />
Crusaders flanker Matt Todd<br />
could be the man police are<br />
looking to speak to about a car<br />
theft in Timaru.<br />
But it’s obviously not.<br />
Canterbury Police posted the<br />
picture of the Matt Todd lookalike<br />
on its Facebook page last<br />
week and since then a number<br />
of people have commented<br />
about the uncanny resemblance<br />
to the Crusader.<br />
“Unless Matt Todd has been<br />
stealing cars, I would suggest<br />
it is not him. He can probably<br />
afford his own cars,” said<br />
Inspector Dave Gaskin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> image on the left is<br />
surveillance footage taken from<br />
a Z Energy Station in Ashburton<br />
at 5am on <strong>July</strong> 12.<br />
<strong>The</strong> stolen Nissan Skyline was<br />
seen heading north and was<br />
involved in a petrol drive-off at<br />
about 5am from the station.<br />
<strong>The</strong> suspect’s choice of attire<br />
is perhaps a nod to his doppelganger’s<br />
somewhat shock omission<br />
from the All Blacks squad<br />
DOPPELGANGER: When Canterbury Police posted the image<br />
on the left to Facebook, the public immediately highlighted<br />
the suspect’s resemblance to Matt Todd.<br />

Red light runners in the frame<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
CAMERAS and video<br />
technology are being<br />
investigated to accurately count<br />
the number of red light runners<br />
in the city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has hired a<br />
consultancy firm to look into<br />
ways to measure how bad the<br />
problem is.<br />
It would then use that<br />
information to decide how to<br />
combat it.<br />
In March, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> reported<br />
the city council was looking at<br />
altering the amber traffic signal<br />
by up to 1sec, and the “all-red”<br />
phase by between 0.5sec-1sec to<br />
curb the problem.<br />
But Christchurch Transport<br />
Operations Centre manager<br />
Ryan Cooney said more<br />
accurate data on red light<br />
runners was needed before any<br />
trials took place.<br />
He said they had considered<br />
measuring red light running<br />
using the underground traffic<br />
signal detection loops, doing<br />
manual counts, or with CCTV<br />
technology.<br />
Due to cost, accuracy and<br />
small sample sizes, they had discounted<br />
using manual counts or<br />
signal loops, he said.<br />
PROBLEM: <strong>The</strong> worst intersection for red light running last<br />
year was the corner of Blenheim Rd and Mandeville St.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
“We are now looking into use<br />
of video technology using either<br />
existing or new CCTV cameras<br />
along with video analytic software<br />
to count the number of red<br />
light runners across the city.”<br />
Mr Cooney said it was yet to<br />
be decided how long it would<br />
take to measure red light<br />
running, or when.<br />
<strong>The</strong> goal was to “accurately<br />
count” not enforce, he said.<br />

times in Chch<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
TRAFFIC SIGNALS across the city<br />
have failed nearly 10,000 times in the<br />
past year.<br />
Data released under the Local<br />
Government Information and Meetings<br />
Act showed signals had not functioned<br />
properly 9812 times, due to either a<br />
power failure or controller fault.<br />
<strong>The</strong> signals at the intersection<br />
of Brougham St, Garlands Rd and<br />
Opawa Rd failed the most in the last<br />
year – 26 times.<br />
That was followed by the<br />
Barbadoes and Salisbury Sts<br />
intersection with 23, and the corner<br />
of Barbadoes and Hereford Sts,<br />
which failed 22 times.<br />
Signals at the Brougham,<br />
Burlington and Gasson Sts<br />
intersection failed 14 times, while at<br />
Hornby’s Chalmers St, Goulding Ave<br />
and Main South Rd junction, they<br />
broke down 13 times.<br />
Curletts Rd and Main South Rd<br />
sat at 12, Avonhead, Middlepark<br />
and Yaldhurst Rds was 11, while<br />
the Carmen St, Main South Rd and<br />
Shands Rd junction was nine.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council said the highest<br />
fault count was due to power failure<br />
relating to Orion network issues.<br />

Progress on ‘dirty 30’<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
THEY’RE DIRTY and derelict<br />
– and now there’s no longer 30<br />
of them.<br />
Progress on the city’s “dirty<br />
30” list has been made, with<br />
eight buildings under “active<br />
improvement”.<br />
In May, the city council came<br />
up with a three-step approach<br />
to deal with derelict buildings,<br />
and put together a list of those<br />
hampering the central city’s<br />
regeneration.<br />
It included 30 buildings, plus<br />
the adjoined Duncan’s Buildings<br />
from 129-167 High St.<br />
Since then, the former Trinity<br />
Congregational Church and<br />
Shands Emporium have been<br />
removed because they were being<br />
actively restored.<br />
Eight of the buildings on<br />
the list are now actively being<br />
worked on, and the city council<br />
has had “positive dialogue” with<br />
owners of another eight of the<br />
buildings, who have given their<br />
commitment to action.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other 19 buildings,<br />
including the Christ Church<br />
Cathedral, remained problem<br />
sites.<br />
City councillor Jamie Gough<br />
said they were happy with the<br />
PROGRESS: <strong>The</strong> former Work and Income New Zealand<br />
building on High St (above) and Victoria St’s former Spagalimis<br />
building (right) are both now under “active improvement”.<br />

progress, but it was just the<br />
start.<br />
He said the next step was<br />
to expand the approach to<br />
include derelict residential<br />
buildings between the<br />
four avenues to get more<br />
people moving back into<br />
the central city.<br />
Eventually they would tackle<br />
derelict buildings in the suburbs,<br />
he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new list shows those<br />
under active improvement<br />
Jamie Gough<br />
included the former<br />
Scorpio Books building<br />
on Hereford St, former<br />
Work and Income building<br />
on High St, Lichfield St’s<br />
Lincoln House, the Public<br />
Trust Building, the old<br />
Spagalimis on Victoria St,<br />
and buildings on High St and<br />
Armagh St.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re had been positive<br />
dialogue or commitment to<br />
action about the former IRD<br />
building, two of the Sol Square<br />
buildings, Peterborough<br />
Apartments, Victoria Mansions,<br />
some of the Duncan’s Buildings,<br />
a partially empty site on High St<br />
and Harley Chambers.<br />
It was announced last week<br />
Harley Chambers, on the<br />
corner of Worcester Blvd and<br />
Cambridge Tce, would be<br />
replaced by a six-star hotel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 19 buildings that<br />
remained problem sites<br />
included the former PWC<br />
building on Armagh St, the<br />
Old Post Office in Cathedral<br />
Sq, the city council’s Our City<br />
building, some of High St’s<br />
Duncan’s Buildings and the<br />
former 2 Fat Indians building<br />
on Manchester St.<br />
Cr Gough said while some<br />
building owners had been<br />
helpful, others had made no<br />
attempt to fix their sites.<br />
“We’ve given them a kick but<br />
now we need to put steel caps on.”<br />
$110k-plus<br />
for Lions<br />
Fanzone<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
THE FANZONE set up in the<br />
central city during the British and<br />
Irish Lions tour cost $116,511 to<br />
run.<br />
Christchurch NZ major events<br />
manager Richard Attwood said<br />
the city council put in $56,511,<br />
and $60,000 came from the<br />
Ministry of Business, Innovation<br />
and Employment’s Major Events<br />
Development Fund.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fanzone, set up in Poplar<br />
St, was operating from June 10<br />
and <strong>July</strong> 8 for the Crusaders<br />
match, and three tests against the<br />
All Blacks.<br />
It provided a place to watch the<br />
game, and had entertainment and<br />
food vendors.<br />
Mr Attwood said between<br />
3500-4000 fans came through.<br />
He said the technical aspect,<br />
such as screens, Sky, sound and<br />
power cost $58,532, while entertainment,<br />
such as the DJ, bands,<br />
face-painting and giveaways was<br />
$6350.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fence wrap was $5626,<br />
safety and comfort measures were<br />
$34,945, while other costs such<br />
as consents, labour and staff was<br />
$11,058, he said.<br />

Park history<br />
board<br />
too costly<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A PLAN to install an information<br />
board at Little Hagley Park is in<br />
limbo after the discovery it would<br />
cost nearly $5000 for Ngai Tahu<br />
to provide the content.<br />
In <strong>20</strong>15, the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi Community Board<br />
asked city council staff to look at<br />
the cost of an information panel,<br />
to record the history of the park<br />
and neighbouring Carlton Mill<br />
Bridge.<br />
But in March, city council<br />
staff said it would cost $4960 for<br />
Ngai Tahu’s consultancy firm,<br />
Matapopore, to confirm the content,<br />
design and images with the<br />
runanga, and another $<strong>20</strong>00 to<br />
build and install.<br />
Matapopore general manager<br />
Debbie Tikao said the $4960<br />
figure included the cost of hiring<br />
a Maori designer.<br />
“It wasn’t just providing the<br />
words, it was sourcing images and<br />
getting approvals and providing<br />
some Maori design work as well.”<br />
Board chairman David Cartwright<br />
said the board was still<br />
keen to do it.<br />
“It just needs a little more work<br />
and a few more conversations.”<br />
New safety barriers after serious<br />
But they<br />

After Mrs Imrie’s death, Dr<br />

urgent action on both sites.<br />
While he was pleased to<br />

Latham was<br />
disappointed<br />
at the lack of<br />

from the<br />

Dr Latham<br />
was unaware<br />

“It would have been good<br />
if the community board<br />

LUCKY: <strong>The</strong> aftermath of Sunday’s serious crash on the Christchurch Akaroa Rd.<br />
Pair lucky to survive horror smash<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
TWO PEOPLE are lucky to be<br />
alive after a horror smash saw<br />
their vehicle leave the road and<br />
end up in a nearby property<br />
early on Sunday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> vehicle the man and<br />
woman were in smashed<br />
through a wooden power pole<br />
and a tree before flying over a<br />
2m wall, narrowly missing a<br />
house in Robinsons Bay about<br />
midnight.<br />
Residents who heard the crash<br />
raced to the scene and found<br />
the vehicle in a neighbouring<br />
property after leaving the<br />
Christchurch Akaroa Rd.<br />
Akaroa Senior Constable<br />
Anita Osborne said she could<br />
not believe how lucky the two<br />
occupants were when she first<br />
arrived.<br />
“If you looked at the scene you<br />
wouldn’t think anyone could<br />
have survived,” she said.<br />
Emergency services arrived<br />
and firefighters cut free a<br />
27-year-old woman who was<br />
then airlifted to Christchurch<br />
Hospital with head injuries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> driver, who suffered a<br />
broken back and ribs, was taken<br />
to hospital by ambulance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> power pole was snapped<br />
off at the base and found in the<br />
paddock a number of metres<br />
away, while debris from the<br />
tree was littered around the<br />
property – there was a big piece<br />
of wood protruding from the<br />
windscreen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman involved in<br />
the crash said she could not<br />
remember anything about<br />
the crash or the ride in the<br />
helicopter.<br />
That was probably a good<br />
thing, she said.<br />

Trampoline<br />
stolen to<br />
‘feed kids’<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
A MAN was caught allegedly<br />
stealing a trampoline in Halswell<br />
to sell for scrap metal to feed his<br />
children.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 26-year-old appeared in the<br />
district court yesterday charged<br />
with burglary and was remanded<br />
on bail to reappear on August 10.<br />
Senior Sergeant Stephan<br />
McDaniel said when questioned<br />
by police the man said he was<br />
“grabbing it [the trampoline] for<br />
scrap metal to feed his kids”.<br />
It’s alleged the offender was<br />
seen at a property on Cashmere<br />
Rd at about 2pm on Tuesday by<br />
Community Watch Christchurch<br />
South as they went past to patrol a<br />
nearby subdivision.<br />
When the patrol came back the<br />
owner of the property was speaking<br />
with the man so they pulled<br />
over behind his vehicle.<br />
He had the deconstructed<br />
trampoline and other items in the<br />
back of his vehicle.<br />
Police were called to the scene<br />
and the 26-year-old was arrested<br />
for the alleged burglary.<br />
Senior Sergeant McDaniel<br />
said it was a good catch for the<br />
community patrol.<br />

LOYAL: Fans will descend on the city this weekend for the quarter-final<br />
between the Highlanders and Crusaders.<br />
Southern rugby army<br />
about to invade city<br />
A MOBILE army of blue and gold<br />
supporters is set to descend on<br />
Christchurch this weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Landers Army, made up of loyal<br />
Highlanders supporters, is organising<br />
a convoy for those heading to the Super<br />
Rugby quarter-final on Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Highlanders will take on the<br />
Crusaders at AMI Stadium at 7.30pm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> convoy will leave Dunedin’s<br />
Forsyth Barr Stadium at 10.30am that<br />
morning, with plans to gather at Speight’s<br />
Ale House at Tower Junction before the<br />
match.<br />
Highlanders coach Tony Brown is the<br />
theme of the trip, with fans encouraged to<br />
wear tweed jackets and hats, and blue and<br />
Burger Fuel<br />
parking fine<br />
gimmick<br />
catches<br />
some out<br />
AT FIRST glance, it looks like a parking<br />
ticket, but when you take a second look,<br />
it’s something much better.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tickets are being handed out on<br />
vehicles in Christchurch for “failing to<br />
display a sufficiently satisfied stomach”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ticket, issued by Burger Fuel City<br />
Council, entitles the user to a serving of<br />
free fries and aioli “anytime, as long as<br />
we’re open”.<br />
Aaron Gardiner shared the image<br />
on Facebook, and said: “This is quite<br />
clever... Burger Fuel is giving out parking<br />
ticket style vouchers.”<br />
But not everyone has been impressed<br />
with the Burger Fuel promotion.<br />
“A few years ago, I got one of these<br />
and only saw it when I started driving,<br />
I thought I had a ticket and went on a<br />
rant the whole ride home,” wrote Gary<br />
Dooley on Facebook.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Highlanders and Crusaders last met<br />
in a friendly match in Timaru on <strong>July</strong> 6,<br />
where the Highlanders won 33-12.<br />
Prior to that, the Crusaders came out<br />
victorious after Mitch Hunt nailed a drop<br />
goal in the 83rd minute of their June 3<br />
round robin clash to win 25-22.<br />
As of yesterday afternoon, tickets were<br />
still available for Saturday’s match.<br />

A RETIREMENT village being built in<br />
Addington will have a public cafe, creche,<br />
community centre, health hub and even<br />
animals.<br />
Park Lane Retirement Village will<br />
feature Living Well – a new concept<br />
designed to create community<br />
connections and empower retirees.<br />
Arvida Group chief executive Bill<br />
McDonald said Living Well would be a<br />
public community precinct.<br />
“Living Well Park Lane will include<br />
a community centre for both the public<br />
and residents, complete with a café<br />
that sources produce from the village’s<br />
communal gardens, a community crèche,<br />
a health club and animals including<br />
THE CASE of missing man<br />
Michael McGrath will appear on<br />
the television crime show Police<br />
Ten 7.<br />
It will screen today – almost<br />
two months to the day since the<br />
builder was last seen on May 21.<br />
Detective Inspector Darryl<br />
Sweeney, who heads the<br />
investigation called Operation<br />
Renovation, said Mr McGrath’s<br />
family were “desperate” for answers.<br />
“Michael’s disappearance is completely<br />
out of character,” he said.<br />
A phone line has been set up for the<br />
operation, 0800 346 364, with the hopes<br />
people may call in with information after<br />
tonight’s episode.<br />
“We’d encourage people to watch the<br />
chickens and lambs. Traditionally<br />
retirement villages are a gated community<br />
– here the community is warmly<br />
welcomed to be part of life at Park Lane.”<br />
Mr McDonald said Christchurch was<br />
the perfect place to launch Living Well<br />
because of the innovative developments<br />
happening with the rebuild.<br />
He hoped to roll it out across other<br />
Arvida retirement villages, he said.<br />
Park Lane would use solar energy to<br />
power the main buildings, and would also<br />
offer electric cars for residents to use.<br />
Apartments at the new Park Lane<br />
Retirement Village go on sale today, with<br />
the majority expected to be completed<br />
and ready for tenants in March.<br />
Missing man’s case on TV<br />
Michael<br />
McGrath<br />
Police Ten 7 show and to get in<br />
touch with any information they<br />
may have – no matter how small<br />
or insignificant they think it<br />
might be. All calls will be treated<br />
in confidence by the Operation<br />
Renovation team,” Detective<br />
Inspector Sweeney said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> search for Mr McGrath included<br />
police dive squads looking<br />
in bodies of water in the Halswell<br />
area and a team scouring Kate Valley<br />
Landfill in Hurunui.<br />
<strong>The</strong> home of Christchurch Men’s<br />
Prison correction officer David Benbow’s<br />
was also searched.<br />
<strong>The</strong> episode of Police Ten 7 will be aired<br />
on TV2 at 7.30pm today, as well as TV2+1<br />
at 8.30pm.

Pay by plate system soon<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
GONE ARE the days of pay<br />
and display.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is upgrading<br />
its 228 parking meters to a new<br />
system which would prevent<br />
the need to print out a ticket,<br />
return to your vehicle and put<br />
it on your dashboard.<br />
Instead, the new pay by plate<br />
system would see motorists<br />
type their licence plate number<br />
into the machine, choose the<br />
time they would like to stay, before<br />
paying and walking away.<br />
Parking wardens will then<br />
be able to use the data to check<br />
it against the licence plates of<br />
parked vehicles.<br />
City council transport operations<br />
manager Aaron Haymes<br />
said the upgrade would begin<br />
in October, and would take<br />
about four to six weeks.<br />
He said it would cost $900,000,<br />
but would save $50,000 annually<br />
in operation costs.<br />
“Of significance, eliminating<br />
paper tapes saves 1.5 million<br />
paper tickets or 800kg of paper<br />
annually from entering the<br />
Christchurch waste stream and<br />
littering city streets.”<br />
Mr Haymes said currently,<br />
the city council had 228 parking<br />
metres servicing 2292 pay<br />
and display spaces, and another<br />
31 machines in stock.<br />
All of them are about 10<br />
years old and need to be upgraded<br />
to meet international<br />
security standards, he said.<br />
While the main structure<br />
would remain the same, the<br />
front panel and terminal component<br />
would be replaced.<br />
He said last year, the city<br />
council collected $4.9 million<br />
in revenue through on-street<br />
parking machines.<br />
“Customers will be able to<br />
pay by credit card including<br />
the no-contact method and<br />
will still be able to pay with<br />
coins and use the text-to-park<br />
option.”<br />
Hamish Kember, who uses<br />
the parking meters, said the<br />
new system would be a lot<br />
more convenient for motorists<br />
END OF AN ERA:<br />
Hamish Kember uses<br />

meter to get his pay<br />
and display ticket –<br />
something that will<br />

not having to place the ticket<br />
on the dashboard.<br />
“It’s always a pain having to<br />
go to and from.”<br />
Auckland and Tauranga<br />
councils were in the process of<br />
upgrading their meters to the<br />
same system.<br />
Mr Haymes said while the<br />
machines were upgraded, the<br />
city council would have extra<br />
staff out on the streets to help<br />
people learn to use them.<br />
Sewage testing<br />
shows less<br />
meth users<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
POLICE BELIEVE drug-takers in<br />
Christchurch may be using less meth<br />
and more synthetic cannabis after<br />
testing the city’s sewage.<br />
Christchurch’s wastewater networks<br />
were tested for drugs between December<br />
to February as part of a police<br />
study. <strong>The</strong> testing found between 458g<br />
and 798g of methamphetamine was<br />
being used in the city each week.<br />
Christchurch Intelligence district<br />
manager Trevor Dickinson-Mclachlan<br />
said that was less than police expected<br />
to find based on the amount of meth<br />
use they had seen or had reported.<br />
He said the symptoms of meth addiction<br />
were similar to some synthetic<br />
cannabis addictions, so believed they<br />
could have been mis-reported. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
could not test for synthetic cannabis<br />
in the study, because the chemicals<br />
used in different batches were so different,<br />
he said.<br />
“I would suspect it could be as big or<br />
bigger than meth use here,” he said.<br />
Police were also surprised by the<br />
amount of ecstasy found in the study<br />
– between 1<strong>20</strong>g and 261g per week.<br />
He said that could be because users<br />
tended to stay “under the radar” unless<br />
they overdosed or had complications.<br />

Man assaulted<br />
at boy racer<br />
meet needs<br />
surgery<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>17<br />
A MAN needs a steel plate put in<br />
his head after he was assaulted at<br />
a boy racer meet near McLean’s<br />
Island on Sunday morning.<br />
He and his cousin, who is 23<br />
weeks pregnant, had gone to<br />
find some friends at about 3am<br />
on Pound Rd, but when they<br />
arrived they were immediately<br />
involved in an altercation.<br />
A family member of the<br />
assaulted man told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> that<br />
he was attacked by an offender<br />
wearing “knuckle dusters” who<br />
also smashed out windows in his<br />
cousin’s car.<br />
He and his cousin had driven<br />
in separate vehicles to the meet.<br />
She fled and hid in her vehicle<br />
when the assault took place.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim’s eye socket is<br />
so badly damaged, he needs<br />
surgery to put a steel plate in.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y will never go cruising<br />
again. I hope my nephew will be<br />
okay,” the family member said.<br />
Police have confirmed they<br />
have received a complaint about<br />
the assault and are following<br />
“strong lines of inquiry”.<br />
Sir Graham linked to another trophy<br />
HE COACHED the All Blacks to<br />
their second World Cup victory,<br />
and now a trophy in his name<br />
will be up for grabs at next year’s<br />
Golden Oldies World Rugby<br />
Festival.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sir Graham Henry Trophy<br />
will be contested in the newlycreated<br />
president’s grade division<br />
of the festival.<br />
<strong>The</strong> festival will be held in<br />
Christchurch in April, as part of<br />
the Christchurch Casino Golden<br />
Oldies Sports Celebration <strong>20</strong>18.<br />
Event organiser Peter<br />
McDermott said it was<br />
appropriate one of New<br />
Zealand’s legendary rugby<br />
names will be on the trophy<br />
awarded to the winner of the<br />
new division.<br />
“Rugby was the first ever<br />
Golden Oldies sport dating back<br />
to 1979, and we are excited to<br />
be able to now cater for players<br />
who want to add a competitive<br />
element on-field while still<br />
enjoying the off-field social<br />
aspect, which is what Golden<br />
Oldies sport is all about.”<br />
Sir Graham said Golden<br />
Oldies rugby brought likeminded<br />
people together to<br />
share a sense of camaraderie<br />
with fellow rugby players from<br />
around the world.<br />
He said it was an honour to<br />
have his name on a trophy that<br />
represents those old traditions.<br />
“For me personally, it is also<br />
an honour to have the trophy<br />
awarded for the first time<br />
in my hometown where my<br />
rugby playing days began as a<br />
schoolboy.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> new president’s grade<br />
division will be played under<br />
the full World Rugby laws and is<br />
expected to attract a new group<br />
of players to the popular Golden<br />
Oldies rugby programme.<br />
Rugby is expected to be the<br />
largest sport at next year’s event<br />
with more than 110 teams<br />
entered so far from across the<br />
world. <strong>The</strong> Golden Oldies World<br />
Rugby Festival will be played<br />
from April 22-29 at Hagley Park.<br />
It is one of 10 sports which<br />
make up the month-long<br />
Christchurch Casino Golden<br />
Oldies Sports Celebration <strong>20</strong>18.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event is expected to bring<br />
about 10,000 people to the city.<br />

Teen to hike barefoot<br />
for kids with no shoes<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
WALKING the 78km of the<br />
Heaphy Track is no mean feat.<br />
But what about walking it<br />
bare feet?<br />
Teenager Bo Hofmans<br />
(right) plans to do just that in<br />
an effort to raise money for<br />
disadvantaged children who<br />
don’t have shoes to wear to<br />
school.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 15-year-old Cashmere<br />
High School student has been<br />
walking the gravelly Rapaki<br />
Track to prepare for his<br />
barefoot hike in October.<br />
“I was thinking doing<br />
[the walk] barefoot might<br />
be a good idea just as an<br />
experience, and then my mate<br />
mentioned ‘why don’t you do<br />
it for a charity?’”<br />
Bo did some research and<br />
found out KidsCan had a<br />
“Shoes for Kids” programme<br />
that had seen 128,000 pairs<br />
of shoes donated to underprivileged<br />
children who went<br />
to school barefoot.<br />
Bo said he would soon start<br />
carrying a 15kg pack and rub<br />
methylated spirits on his feet<br />
to prepare for the Heaphy<br />
Track.<br />
“I’m hoping for a nice inch<br />
of callouses,” he said.<br />
“It would be great if I<br />
didn’t feel anything while I’m<br />
walking.”<br />
Bo has set up a Givealittle<br />
page called Barefoot for<br />
KidsCan, and hopes to raise<br />
about $15,000 before his hike<br />
on October 9.<br />
Quake, medical innovations<br />
reward varsity researcher<br />
A CANTERBURY researcher<br />
has received a national innovator<br />
award for his work, which<br />
has been used both to protect<br />
buildings from earthquakes<br />
and to improve patient hip<br />
replacements.<br />
Dr Geoff Rodgers, a mechanical<br />
engineer at Canterbury University,<br />
took the Norman FB Barry<br />
Foundation Emerging Innovator<br />
Award at the recent KiwiNet<br />
Research Commercialisation<br />
Awards.<br />
Mechanical seismic dampers<br />
he developed to dissipate<br />
kinetic energy of seismic waves<br />
penetrating a building structure<br />
are in use in a low-damage<br />
hospital complex in Christchurch.<br />
Dr Rodgers was also developing<br />
a new method for early detection<br />
of wear and tear of hip joint implants<br />
that monitored the sound<br />
vibrations transmitted from a patient’s<br />
hip replacement implants.<br />
<strong>The</strong> acoustic emission monitoring<br />
system was a non-invasive<br />
sensing technique that recorded<br />
low-level vibrations emitted from<br />
the implant during patient motion<br />
that make it through tissue to the<br />
skin’s surface.<br />
By listening to the ultrasonic<br />
INNOVATIVE: Canterbury University’s Dr Geoff Rodgers with<br />
mechanical seismic dampers.<br />
vibrations of the implant, it was<br />
possible to relate them to the<br />
condition of the implant, to help<br />
orthopaedic surgeons predict<br />
impending failures and manage<br />
revision surgery.<br />
Early detection of wear and tear<br />
could offer opportunities for proactive<br />
intervention, reducing the<br />
severity of surgery and providing<br />
improved patient outcomes.<br />

Intel work vital for crime prevention<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> continues<br />
its series on the work<br />
police in Canterbury<br />
are doing on crime<br />
prevention, heading off<br />
trouble before it starts.<br />
Gabrielle Stuart reports<br />
on the police intel unit<br />
THE PROBLEM with writing<br />
about police intelligence is that<br />
people working in intelligence<br />
don’t like to talk about what<br />
they do.<br />
When they heard a journalist<br />
was due to arrive last week,<br />
many in the Christchurch intel<br />
team made themselves scarce.<br />
Christchurch intelligence<br />
district manager Trevor<br />
Dickinson-Mclachlan said it<br />
was nothing personal: Most of<br />
his team liked to stay out of the<br />
spotlight.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir job is to monitor, watch,<br />
and report. To stay in the<br />
background.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir greatest victories are<br />
when criminals are stopped<br />
or crimes are prevented before<br />
anything happens – and nothing<br />
happening doesn’t make a very<br />
good story.<br />
Often the public won’t hear<br />
anything about what they do,<br />
unless something goes wrong.<br />
Yet they do a huge amount.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury team is<br />
about 30-strong, and deeply<br />
involved in all kinds of policing<br />
work from preventing drug<br />
crime to keeping people safe at<br />
community events.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority of them are<br />
civilian, non-sworn staff, from<br />
all kinds of backgrounds – from<br />
people trained in the army<br />
to data analysts fresh from<br />
university.<br />
When I ask Mr Dickinson-<br />
Mclachlan about his own<br />
background, he says that’s tricky<br />
to answer.<br />
He has been a non-sworn<br />
officer for Auckland and<br />
Canterbury police for about 16<br />
WORTHWHILE: Police intelligence analyst Olivia Cleaver<br />
began working in the field because she wanted to do<br />
something worthwhile. Her latest project is around<br />

years and has spent his career in<br />
intelligence. But aside from mentioning<br />
a stint working with the<br />
army, he can’t tell me the details<br />
of who he has worked for.<br />
He can talk about why he<br />
chose to work in the field, and he<br />
is quietly passionate as he talks<br />
about it.<br />
When he started with the<br />
police, intelligence was known,<br />
slightly disparagingly, as “the<br />
news and the weather” – seen as<br />
somewhat removed from frontline<br />
policing work, he said.<br />
But looking ahead was vital to<br />
preventing crime, he said.<br />
“Years ago, staff came into the<br />
station and got their keys and<br />
drove out, and it was effectively<br />
up to them where they headed.”<br />
How intel works in the field<br />
LATE LAST year, a<br />
Christchurch analyst noticed<br />
something strange.<br />
In several recent crimes, the<br />
stolen getaway vehicle used had<br />
been a Mazda Demio – traditionally<br />
seen as a “nana car”<br />
and definitely not known for its<br />
speed.<br />
Until <strong>20</strong>15, the number of<br />
Demios stolen had been in the<br />
single figures. But, in the 12<br />
months between February <strong>20</strong>16<br />
and February this year, 55 had<br />
been stolen.<br />
Many of the thieves were<br />
young – 17 or younger.<br />
Intelligence analyst Olivia<br />
By using intelligence information<br />
to assess where and at what<br />
times crime was most likely to<br />
happen, patrols were much more<br />
effective, he said.<br />
On Friday and Saturday<br />
nights, they saw people walking<br />
between bars on Victoria St<br />
and on St Asaph St, and taking<br />
shortcuts through empty car<br />
parks and construction sites.<br />
Those areas were often dark<br />
and quite isolated. But they<br />
were also open, so by patrolling<br />
regularly there, police could see<br />
what was going on and make<br />
sure people were safe.<br />
As the city was being rebuilt,<br />
they could see potential problems<br />
and work to prevent them.<br />
He said crime had been “virtually<br />
eliminated” at the central<br />
city Bus Interchange through<br />
good design: Eliminating dark<br />
corners, spreading waiting areas<br />
out, and using architectural<br />
tricks like high and low ceilings<br />
to psychologically guide people<br />
out into open spaces.<br />
Unregistered or unwarranted<br />
cars in the eastern suburbs<br />
was another problem they saw<br />
regularly.<br />
“I could send people out to issue<br />
tickets to people with no warrants<br />
or driver’s licences. Would<br />
it work? Yes, we’d issue lots of<br />
tickets. But would it be effective?<br />
No, probably not: It would be<br />
just another ticket they couldn’t<br />
afford to pay,” he said.<br />
By helping people get into<br />
driver training, get drug or alcohol<br />
addiction help, or get a job,<br />
the root cause of many problems<br />
could be solved, he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also regularly did undercover<br />
work.<br />
Plain-clothes officers from his<br />
team had been planted in the<br />
crowd during World Cup cricket<br />
matches at Hagley Oval, and had<br />
been able to catch several people<br />
involved in illegal overseas<br />
betting rings – as well as the odd<br />
streaker.<br />
For something more routine,<br />
Cleaver said that may have<br />
been because they were seen<br />
as an easy target, without<br />
the immobilisers or security<br />
features of newer vehicles.<br />
She said they had also been<br />
featured in the video game,<br />
Grand <strong>The</strong>ft Auto, which could<br />
mean they were perceived as<br />
“cool nana cars”.<br />
Once they identified the<br />
problem, police could work to<br />
prevent it. <strong>The</strong>y helped owners<br />
of Demios find ways to make<br />
them more secure, warned<br />
other agencies about it, and<br />
looked out for any being driven<br />
suspiciously.<br />
like a burglary, his team were<br />
often asked for help.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y kept lists of potential<br />
suspects who had been through<br />
the court system or were known<br />
to be in the area, and could<br />
quickly come up with a list of<br />
doors to knock on if a crime had<br />
happened.<br />
People from his team also<br />
regularly spent time scanning<br />
public social media and sites<br />
online, looking for stolen goods<br />
or anything suspicious.<br />
Mr Dickinson-Mclachlan said<br />
big data and technology was<br />
quickly changing the way that<br />
worked.<br />
Programmes were being<br />
developed which were able to do<br />
that online scanning for them,<br />
and ping anything potentially<br />
suspicious.<br />
As the number of cameras<br />
in the city grew, they were also<br />
becoming a more useful tool.<br />
But he believed the most<br />
important part of the job would<br />
always stay the same: Preventing<br />
crimes, and doing everything<br />
possible behind the scenes to<br />
keep people safe.<br />
“I almost take it personally.<br />
For every victim of a burglary,<br />
I think how did we fail here?”<br />
he said.<br />
Police prepped for everything and anything during Lions tour<br />
THREE MONTHS before<br />
any Lions fans arrived in<br />
Christchurch for the Crusaders v<br />
Lions match, police had already<br />
mapped out everything that<br />
could go wrong.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y detailed potential<br />
problems – like extra tourists<br />
and campervan convoys<br />
travelling on the damaged<br />
roads between Picton and<br />
Christchurch, alcohol-related<br />
problems around the stadium or<br />
fan zones, and the increased risk<br />
of vehicle break-ins as tourists<br />
were seen as “an easy target”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> impact of anything<br />
going wrong could be serious,<br />
intelligence district manager<br />
Trevor Dickinson-Mclachlan<br />
said.<br />
“If you had one Lions fan<br />
killed in a fatality on our roads,<br />
it would go around the world,<br />
and you think about the impact<br />
it could have on New Zealand’s<br />
reputation,” he said.<br />
So they detailed ways to<br />
prevent problems before they<br />
happened.<br />
For potential problems on the<br />
roads, they worked with the NZ<br />
Transport Agency to have extra<br />
signage put up between Picton<br />
and Christchurch, worked<br />
with Lions tour operators and<br />
rental car companies to get<br />
ON TOP OF<br />
IT: Police<br />
were well<br />
prepared<br />
for the<br />
Lions tour in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
information out to drivers, and<br />
posted extra police on the roads<br />
that week.<br />
In the end, there was only<br />
one serious incident – a family<br />
of Lions fans who had their<br />
campervan broken into and<br />
valuables stolen, including their<br />
tickets and passports.<br />
It was impossible to say if<br />
more might have gone wrong if<br />
they hadn’t been prepared, Mr<br />
Dickinson-Mclachlan said.<br />
But it did mean they had<br />
everything on hand to help the<br />
family of Lions fans, including<br />
after-hours numbers they called<br />
to get the family new tickets<br />
to the match and replace their<br />
stolen documents.

CDHB ‘hatchet job’<br />
THE SILENCE has<br />
been deafening. Not a<br />
strong word written,<br />
let alone a murmur<br />
on the airwaves, or<br />
even a squeak on<br />
social media.<br />
After last week’s Treasury<br />
report slamming our<br />
Canterbury District Heath<br />
Board, not one local National<br />
Party member of parliament has<br />
stood up to defend them or the<br />
remarkable men and women<br />
who are struggling to meet our<br />
health needs in the region.<br />
Senior Canterbury doctors<br />
have labelled the report a<br />
“Pearl Harbour-style attack”,<br />
David Clark, Labour’s health<br />
spokesman has called it a<br />
“hatchet job”. All we have seen<br />
from Government-elected<br />
members is a failure to stand up<br />
for us. It is a failure of leadership.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report claimed that the<br />
CDHB was using tactics to<br />
leverage more public funds. It<br />
completely ignored the reality of<br />
the ongoing health fallouts from<br />
the Canterbury earthquakes and<br />
the lack of funding to support<br />
their population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> National Government has<br />
treated our health system as if<br />
it was business as usual when it<br />
SINCE THE first big quake<br />
in <strong>20</strong>10, the Government has<br />
invested more than $14 billion<br />
in the rebuild and recovery<br />
of Christchurch and greater<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Today, Canterbury’s<br />
population has topped its<br />
pre-earthquake numbers, the<br />
economy is growing faster<br />
than in many other parts of the<br />
country and its unemployment<br />
rate is below the national<br />
average. Even so, we still<br />
have work to do to ensure we<br />
continue to grow and thrive.<br />
That’s why, late last month, the<br />
Government launched an action<br />
plan to drive economic growth.<br />
comes to funding, when we can<br />
all plainly see around us that,<br />
when it comes to health, it is far<br />
from business as usual down<br />
here. Our pleas to Wellington<br />
have been ignored. <strong>The</strong> Ministry<br />
of Health simply will not listen.<br />
And Nicky Wagner, as minister<br />
supporting greater Christchurch<br />
regeneration and associate<br />
minister of health, has failed<br />
to make our case. Rather than<br />
silence, the minister should have<br />
been shouting from the rooftops<br />
about our un-met health needs<br />
and the need for assistance.<br />
I think the CDHB has been<br />
a star performer over the last<br />
seven years. Dedicated and<br />
exceptional men and women<br />
have continued to care for us<br />
through the most trying of<br />
conditions. As Cantabrians, we<br />
need to get in behind our board<br />
and all the health professionals<br />
who are working for us and<br />
defend them against this<br />
“hatchet job”.<br />

Strategy aims to build on post-quake economic growth<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Regional<br />
Economic Development<br />
Strategy includes a series of<br />
targeted initiatives to increase<br />
jobs, income and investment<br />
throughout the region.<br />
As rebuild activity levels off,<br />
the strategy sets challenging<br />
targets to promote regional<br />
transport planning and<br />
Canterbury Police<br />
have issued a warning to<br />
its Facebook followers<br />
that bullying will not be<br />
tolerated on its page<br />
Nicky Wagner<br />
Emajane Harwood – All<br />
the people saying it’s silly because<br />
they’re criminals are obviously<br />
forgetting that cyber-bullying<br />
is also an offence, punishable<br />
by the law. Whether or not they<br />
deserve it is irrelevant. Who<br />
knows, if they continue they may<br />
just end up on a wanted list.<br />
Donald Wright – So if<br />
someone has a misspelled word<br />
tattooed across their forehead we<br />
can’t question their life choices?<br />
Jamie Rapsey – Maybe a bit<br />
of shame would make some of<br />
those think twice about ending<br />
up on a wanted list.<br />
Hamish Middleton – It’s<br />
infrastructure, improve digital<br />
connectivity, manage the region’s<br />
fresh waterways and provide<br />
support around education,<br />
immigration, production and<br />
tourism.<br />
Two of these seven priority<br />
areas are particularly close to my<br />
heart – education and training<br />
for a skilled workforce, and<br />
REUNITED: Ron Mackie and Joe Sullivan caught up at the<br />
America’s Cup victory parade last week.<br />
the modern day version of a sign<br />
around the neck of a criminal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference is the ‘sign’ is<br />
removed when the person hands<br />
themselves in.<br />
Helen Smith – Good. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is going to be more of this and<br />
they cannot get away with it.<br />
People mention mental health?<br />
Stopping this at the source will<br />
help.<br />
Emirates Team New<br />
Zealand cyclist Joe Sullivan<br />
was reunited with his<br />
childhood sailing coach,<br />
Ron Mackie, at last week’s<br />
victory parade<br />
tourism.<br />
In the past year, 16,500 jobs<br />
were created in Canterbury. To<br />
keep that momentum going, the<br />
strategy includes $170,000 to<br />
connect secondary students with<br />
businesses that can transition<br />
them into further education,<br />
employment or training.<br />
We need to keep our young<br />
people in the region and ensure<br />
they have the knowledge and<br />
skills to get ahead. This not only<br />
benefits the individual, but the<br />
whole community.<br />
Data shows greater<br />
Christchurch is back on the<br />
itinerary for many international<br />
visitors but, overall, tourism has<br />

MARTIN<br />
HUNTER<br />
Aaron Krahagen – Well<br />
done Ron, you have been an<br />
exceptional coach and role<br />
model at the Waimakariri<br />
Sailing and Power Boat Club<br />
and brought many great<br />
memories to many young<br />
sailors.<br />
Jacqui Hutchinson –<br />
Oh, Mr Mackie, I remember<br />
you at Rangiora High School.<br />
You were always so kind<br />
and encouraging way back then,<br />
too.<br />
Michelle Maiava – Ron<br />
Mackie is a legend.<br />
not yet reached pre-quake levels.<br />
Funding of $160,000 – on top of<br />
the $2 million awarded through<br />
a regional tourism facilities grant<br />
– will help grow a sustainable<br />
industry and ensure Canterbury<br />
becomes the gateway to the<br />
south.<br />
This strategy is all about<br />
enabling Christchurch<br />
and greater Canterbury to<br />
leverage recovery and rebuild<br />
opportunities, and drive<br />
economic growth into the<br />
regeneration phase.<br />

Pot Sticker Dumpling Bar<br />
It was a mad obsession that drove Sally<br />
and Sam Hooper to open their very own<br />
dumpling bar and, following months of<br />
research and hundreds of dumpling tastings,<br />
Pot Sticker was born.<br />
After eating their way around China – one<br />
dumpling at a time – they found their very<br />
own dumpling masters who could bring<br />
generations of secret recipes back to New<br />
Zealand. Now the master chefs hand-make<br />
the dumplings every morning, preparing<br />
locally-sourced produce – always obsessing<br />
about the freshness and quality of the<br />
dumplings we produce.<br />

greenhouse gas emissions, but also<br />
management of solid waste generation<br />
and water use.<br />
We offer free sustainability advisory<br />
services and incentives to businesses and<br />
to homeowners to improve water and<br />
energy efficiencies.<br />
We have also gained the certified<br />
emissions measurement and<br />
reduction scheme certification. This<br />
ensures accurate measurement of the<br />
organisation’s carbon footprint and<br />
having a strategy in place for managing<br />
and reducing its emissions.<br />
So why is this important?<br />
In my view, cities have to lead the way<br />
and Governments need to meet their<br />
commitments under the Paris Agreement,<br />
the fulfilment of which is critical to the<br />
future of the planet.<br />
It’s the ‘think globally, act locally’<br />
principle in action.<br />
Christchurch has been asked to join the<br />
Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate<br />
and Energy. Before we do that, I want our<br />
commitment to be real. Signing up isn’t<br />
enough – it’s actually making it happen<br />
that will make a difference. <strong>The</strong> city<br />
council can show leadership, but we need<br />
businesses and communities to do so too.<br />
Our target sustainability business<br />
services is a good example of the city<br />
council’s efforts to help Christchurch<br />
businesses with their resource efficiency<br />
and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former president of the United<br />
States made a statement that really<br />
resonated with me when he said we could<br />
not “condemn our children to a planet<br />
beyond their capacity to repair”.<br />
I hope our efforts in Christchurch<br />
contribute to ensuring that doesn’t<br />
happen.<br />

CHICKEN BREAST WITH<br />
MUSHROOM STUFFING<br />
AND MARSALA GLAZE<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 Garlic clove<br />
1 Shallot, or small onion, diced<br />
15g Butter<br />
50g White Button mushrooms<br />
2 slices Bread, stale and diced<br />
1 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped<br />
1 Lemon, zest<br />
2 Chicken breasts<br />
1 Tbsp Oil<br />
3 Tbsp Marsala, or sherry<br />
2 Tbsp Cream<br />
Directions<br />
Stuffing<br />
In a small frying pan, fry the<br />
garlic and shallot in the butter<br />
until translucent. Add the mushrooms<br />
and fry for 2-3min until<br />
cooked. Add the breadcrumbs,<br />
cooking until the butter has<br />
been absorbed.<br />
Take off the heat, add the parsley<br />
and lemon zest and season<br />
with salt and freshly ground<br />
black pepper.<br />
To cook the chicken<br />
Heat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Stuff the chicken breast by lifting<br />
the tenderloin up (if there is no<br />
tenderloin, ignore this). Press<br />
half of the stuffing on to the<br />
breast meat. Cover the stuffing<br />
with the tenderloin. Wrap the<br />
breast with kitchen string to secure<br />
the stuffing in place and tie.<br />
Repeat with second breast.<br />
Heat a frying pan and add oil.<br />
Add the breasts skin side down<br />
and season with salt. When<br />
browned on one side, turn and<br />
season again. After 3min, place<br />
the pan in the hot oven for a further<br />
10-12min or until cooked.<br />
Remove from the oven and<br />
cover with foil to rest for 5min.<br />
To serve, place the chicken on a<br />
chopping board and remove the<br />
string.<br />
Slice in half and place on a<br />
warmed plate. Cover with foil<br />
while you make the sauce.<br />
Return the pan of chicken<br />
juices to the hob. Add the<br />
marsala or sherry and let it<br />
reduce for 2-3min (this is called<br />
de-glazing). Add the cream and<br />
taste for seasoning. Pour the<br />
sauce over the chicken. You may<br />
need to pour over through a<br />
sieve to remove any burnt pan<br />
leftovers. Season with freshly<br />
ground black pepper. Serve with<br />
potatoes and greens.<br />

ADVICE with<br />
QUESTION<br />
What is the best way of propagating Tree Peony seeds?<br />
And how do you move one that has grown too big for its position?<br />
Today’s winning question came from Natalie Heaven.<br />
Nothing tastes better than home grown, juicy fruit. Adding fruit trees to<br />
your garden offers you everything an ornamental tree does, but with<br />
the added bonus of fruit crops. You don’t need to start a large orchard;<br />
it’s easy to incorporate a few fruit trees into your garden planting or<br />
even grow them in pots.<br />
We have a Daltons Premium Fruit Tree Care<br />
pack to give away which includes everything<br />
you need to plant and care for fruit trees.<br />
Valued at over $70, it contains:<br />
• 2 x Garden Time Planting Mix<br />
• Daltons Premium Planter Tabs<br />
• 2 x Daltons Mulch & Grow<br />
• PLUS a pair of comfortable,<br />
versatile Red Back gardening<br />
gloves from Omni Products<br />

ANSWER<br />
Tree Peonies are typically propagated<br />
by grafting onto Herbaceous Peony roots<br />
(normal peonies that you can acquire from nurseries). <strong>The</strong>refore, you<br />
may want to do some experimenting with the timing of seed collection and<br />
sowing techniques, as the more traditional peonies are propagated by root division.<br />
To transplant a Tree Peony, try carrying out the process in mid-winter when the plant is not in active growth.<br />
Being very careful, dig out as much of the roots as possible. Prepare the new planting site thoroughly with<br />
ample amounts of Daltons Compost, as all peonies thrive on organic matter. Shift the plant carefully, providing<br />
support if necessary, and fi rm into position. Ensure it is planted at the same depth that it was previously<br />
growing, then add more compost around the base of the plant. Water well after shifting to help reduce possible<br />
transplant shock.<br />

Control pests with winter spray<br />
THE BEST antidote to a pest and<br />
disease-ridden spring garden is thorough<br />
winter spraying.<br />
Nothing toxic is required — simply<br />
give plants a good dowsing of copper<br />
spray, followed a week later by an application<br />
of spraying oil. Both of these<br />
are regarded as organic.<br />
Repeat three times over the winter<br />
months to kill both overwintering<br />
insect eggs and disease spores. It’s<br />
especially important to spray fruit<br />
trees (including citrus), roses and<br />
other deciduous plants, as well as any<br />
plants badly infested with insect pests<br />
or disease last summer.<br />
In fact, you should spray the entire<br />
garden, but wait for any winter-flowering<br />
plants to finish blooming before<br />
you begin.<br />
Garden pests lurk in the most unexpected<br />
places.<br />
Check the undersides of leaves for<br />
scale insects, and leaf sheaths and<br />
stems for mealybug and scale.<br />
Look for silvering of leaves on<br />
evergreen shrubs and trees including<br />
rhododendrons, camellias and pieris.<br />
This silvering indicates the presence of<br />
thrips. Spray oil to clean these up and<br />
reduce their numbers for spring. Collect<br />
diseased fallen leaves and place in<br />
the rubbish bin (not the organics bin).<br />
Spray the ground around infected<br />
plants with copper spray to help kill<br />
disease spores.<br />
Winter-hardy weeds can overrun<br />
the garden, making control in spring<br />
a nightmare. Spray with fast-acting<br />
glyphosate or dig out hard-to-kill<br />
weeds such as dock. Once weeding is<br />
done, fork compost through soil and<br />
mulch with a 10cm layer of fine bark<br />
or pea straw.<br />
NON-TOXIC: Use a copper spray<br />
to get rid of unwanted pests.<br />

Hiroshima’s haunting memories<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
IT’S THE sight of the charred,<br />
mangled child’s tricycle, inside<br />
the Hiroshima Peace Memorial<br />
Museum, that really ripped at my<br />
heart.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scorched tricycle was<br />
donated by Nobuo Tetsutani, his<br />
three-year-old son, Shin, died<br />
hours after the atomic bombing of<br />
their city. Nobuo found the barely<br />
alive Shin clinging onto the trike’s<br />
handlebars, trapped under the<br />
rubble of their destroyed home,<br />
before dying later in the evening.<br />
Like millions of fellow visitors<br />
every year, I too was drawn to<br />
the city where so many people<br />
were wiped out in one instant of<br />
apocalyptic destruction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest surprise is the<br />
irrepressible beauty of Hiroshima,<br />
an instantly agreeable city,<br />
soothingly swathed in vast green<br />
spaces, lush and leafy streets and<br />
eye-catching rivers.<br />
Rather than replicate the prewar<br />
cityscape, the new Hiroshima<br />
was built as a city of great appeal.<br />
But it’s the raw and poignant<br />
atomic legacy that dominated my<br />
exploration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most haunting reminder of<br />
the bombing is the A-Bomb Dome.<br />
Adjacent to the Peace Memorial<br />
Park, this landmark was formerly<br />
the Industrial Exhibition Hall,<br />
situated at ground zero of the<br />
bombing. When the first bomb was<br />
dropped, it exploded 500m above<br />
the building, killing its occupants<br />
instantly.<br />
Now preserved as a World Heritage<br />
site, its twisted girders, gaping<br />
holes, piles of rubble and shell-like<br />
appearance is shockingly evocative,<br />
bracketed in verdant trees.<br />
Inside the Peace Memorial Park,<br />
I rang the Peace Bell, which visitors<br />
are encouraged to do. Nearby is the<br />
Memorial Mound, a monument<br />
containing the ashes of tens of<br />
thousands of bombing victims.<br />
<strong>The</strong> saddest memorial is the<br />
Children’s Peace Monument, which<br />
depicts a girl with outstretched<br />
hands, while a crane bird, the Japanese<br />
symbol for longevity, flutters<br />
above. <strong>The</strong> monument refers to a<br />
child who believed that if she made<br />
SAD: (Clockwise from left) the scorched tricycle donated by Nobuo Tetsutani, the A-Bomb<br />
Dome, modern day Hiroshima and the Children’s Peace Monument.<br />
1000 paper cranes, she would recover<br />
from her radiation sickness.<br />
She didn’t survive, but the memorial<br />
is continuously adorned by<br />
fresh paper cranes made by school<br />
children.<br />
Across the road is the curved<br />
beauty of the cenotaph, which<br />
artfully frames the A-Bomb Dome<br />
and the Flame of Peace, which<br />
will only be extinguished when all<br />
nuclear weapons in the world have<br />
been decommissioned, completes<br />
the memorial walk.<br />
From there, I ventured inside the<br />
Peace Memorial Museum, which<br />
graphically showcases the sobering<br />
consequences of the atomic<br />
bombing, with photos, videos<br />
and personal exhibits, like that<br />
scorched trike. I was struck by<br />
the watch on display, that stopped<br />
ticking at 8.15am, when the bomb<br />
exploded, worn at the time by<br />
Akito Kawagoe; there are various<br />
school uniforms, ripped and burnt,<br />
worn by children at the time of the<br />
bombing; mangled lunch boxes<br />
and deformed glass bottles, melted<br />
by the horrendous heat.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are searing first-hand<br />
accounts from survivors of the<br />
bombing, who later died from their<br />
horrific burns, radiation disorders<br />
and cancers. Beyond the emotional<br />
intensity of the war legacy, it helps<br />
to dispel the gloom by soaking up<br />
Hiroshima’s post-war renaissance.<br />
I love how the city has developed<br />
so many urban gardens, studded<br />
with ponds, miniature bridges and<br />
magnificent sculptures.<br />
Hiroshima Castle seemingly<br />
floats on its moat. Destroyed by the<br />
bomb, it has been faithfully reconstructed<br />
and the main courtyard<br />
also includes trees sporting scorch<br />
marks from that fateful day.<br />
It is the Christ Church Cathedral<br />
of Hiroshima.<br />
Regardless of the politics of war<br />
and whether you think the bomb<br />
should have been dropped or not,<br />
there is no denying the profound<br />
and insightful impact a visit to<br />
Hiroshima serves up.<br />
<strong>The</strong> darkest of days, a people’s<br />
resilience, and a city rebuilt with its<br />
arms wide open to the world.<br />
Hiroshima is an easy train ride<br />
away from Tokyo, which I flew to<br />
from Christchurch via the Gold<br />
Coast.<br />

is a great-value way to fly to<br />
Japan. For extra-comfort, upgrade<br />

noshed heartily on wushi pork with<br />
a gorgeous caramel cheesecake for<br />
dessert. Prior to landing, the crispy<br />
battered fish fillet and mushy peas,<br />
followed by a chocolate and raspberry<br />
brownie, fuelled me up to hit<br />
Japan at full speed.

It’s all about the journey<br />
ant<br />
Our last night together at El Nacional<br />
restaurant<br />
By Chris Lyons, Director and Tour Host, World Journeys<br />
If group travel conjures up image of hordes of tourists following a guide with a megaphone,<br />
think again! Small group travel today can be the ultimate way to travel to some of the world’s<br />
most exciting, challenging and exotic countries. I am in the enviable position of hosting small<br />
groups of Kiwi travellers each year to the likes of South America and Africa, and can honestly<br />
say it’s the way to go!<br />
You may not have friends who share your particular ‘bucket list’ of travel desires, but you<br />
don’t like travelling alone. Perhaps tackling a foreign language is too daunting, or you simply<br />
don’t have the energy to do it all yourself. Booking a small group tour takes care of all of that.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is company to share the experiences with, all the nitty gritty details are taken care of by<br />
someone else, and your host is there to smooth the way should anything unexpected happen.<br />
World Journeys creates and operates a range of small group tours each year, selecting our<br />
most-loved destinations such as the game parks of Southern Africa, the beauty and traditions<br />
of Japan, and the epic ports of the Mediterranean. Some of these journeys include a cruise –<br />
whether that be Holland America Line in the Med, or a small ship in the Galapagos Islands.<br />
Other journeys take roads less travelled, such as our itinerary in still-developing Madagascar<br />
(perfect for avid travellers!).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wonders of South America group at Machu<br />
Pichu.<br />
New for <strong>20</strong>18 is a ‘Croatia & Slovenia’ journey, which has a little taste of Venice and Mostar<br />
thrown in. <strong>The</strong>re is so much to savour – the karst caves of Postojna, the castles of Predjama and<br />
Bled, picturesque open-air markets, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historic churches, palaces<br />
and bridges as well as the spectacular Plitvice Lakes National Park. A highlight for many will<br />
be the small ship cruise along the Adriatic Coast, visiting some of the most beautiful Croatian<br />
Islands. Wine and food tasting along the way gives you a true glimpse of local life.<br />
In fact, food and wine is always a highlight of our travel, and we often include a farewell dinner<br />
at a ‘hidden gem’ favourite restaurant enjoyed only by those ‘in the know’.<br />
Most of all, I love the conviviality of travelling in, and hosting, a small group. <strong>The</strong>re’s always<br />
company if you want it, or time to do your own thing every now and then. And every person<br />
brings something to the mix. <strong>The</strong>re may be a keen photographer in the group, who you can follow<br />
to get the best shots, or a fashionista, who will call upon my haggling skills to buy jewellery<br />
or textiles in the markets.<br />
Many lifelong friendships have been forged on tour, and many return again to travel with us in<br />
subsequent years.<br />
Travel is all about the journey, but it’s also about sharing the experience, and that’s the beauty<br />
of travelling with a group.<br />

Under the baton of conductor, Helen<br />
Renaud, the UC Christchurch Youth<br />
Orchestra is excited to present its second<br />
concert for <strong>20</strong>17, “Angels and Goblins”<br />
at the Charles Luney Auditorium in<br />
Winchester St on 29 <strong>July</strong> at 7.30pm.<br />
This Christchurch School of Music<br />
concert will feature the exciting El Salon<br />
Mexico by Copland, the UCCYO concert<br />
band playing Angels in the Architecture<br />
by Tichelli, the UCCYO string orchestra<br />
playing the beautiful Adagio by Barber<br />
and the full orchestra performing<br />
Faure’s Sicilienne and Fileuse<br />
from “Pelleas and Milisande”<br />
and Dvorak’s “Water Goblin”<br />
Symphonic Poem.<br />
CSM’s Music Director, Celia<br />
Stewart, wants to encourage<br />
Cantabrians to come along and<br />
enjoy this exciting programme: “It<br />
will be a wonderful opportunity<br />
to hear Christchurch’s top young<br />
orchestral musicians in concert.”<br />
In May of this year the orchestra<br />
presented its first concert,<br />
“Origins” in the beautiful Oamaru<br />
Opera House – travelling together<br />
and sharing its music with other<br />
communities is an important focus<br />
for the orchestra.<br />
<strong>The</strong> UC Christchurch Youth<br />
Orchestra was founded in the 1970s<br />
and offers talented students in the<br />
Christchurch area the opportunity<br />
to play challenging and exciting<br />
orchestral repertoire. Each year the<br />
orchestra performs 3-4 concerts<br />
and is often called on to perform at<br />
corporate and community events.<br />
In <strong>20</strong>15 the Christchurch School of Music<br />
signed a sponsorship agreement with the<br />
University of Canterbury for the orchestra<br />
which gives naming rights to the university<br />
and ensures the players can have access<br />
to interesting repertoire and essential<br />
equipment. <strong>The</strong> orchestra is very grateful<br />
for this support and the opportunities this<br />
has opened up for a strong collaboration<br />
with the University’s School of Music.<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre/Arts<br />
Young diva takes on Sister Act<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />
TAKING ON the role of the one<br />
and only ‘Lady Fabulous’, Deloris<br />
Van Cartier, could just be what<br />
Monique Clementson was born<br />
to do.<br />
Straight out of the city’s performing<br />
arts school and already<br />
Clementson, 21, has been chosen<br />
to play the lead role in the musical<br />
Sister Act in both Invercargill<br />
and Christchurch.<br />
She was head-hunted for the<br />
role and, on the same day the<br />
Avonhead resident auditioned<br />
for Invercargill Musical <strong>The</strong>atre’s<br />
version of the show, she got a<br />
call to go audition for Showbiz<br />
Christchurch, which will stage<br />
the show in September.<br />
Having grown up watching<br />
Whoopi Goldberg in the 1992<br />
film on which the musical is<br />
based, Clementson’s first big role<br />
out of the National Academy of<br />
Singing and Dramatic Art is a<br />
dream come true.<br />
“I am so incredibly grateful . . .<br />
it was just such a blessing to have<br />
the opportunity to even audition<br />
for the role,” she said.<br />
Describing her character as<br />
Play evokes emotion of watching your favourite sports team<br />
Up ‘n’ Under<br />
Produced by Top Dog<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre<br />
Written by John Godber<br />
Reviewed by Georgia<br />
O’Connor-Harding<br />
IF YOU have never been to a live<br />
rugby league game before, going<br />
to see Top Dog <strong>The</strong>atre tackle<br />
playwright John Godber’s uplifting<br />
show is a good start.<br />
A lively atmosphere created by<br />
a small, but vivacious, cast will<br />
fast take you on the emotional<br />
rollercoaster you ride when<br />
watching a nail-bitingly close<br />
game.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact you’re in a theatre is<br />
quickly forgotten as this hilarious<br />
show has you cheering for<br />
the underdog team to take the<br />
“sassy”, “straight-up” and “spontaneous”,<br />
Clementson said she<br />
has a connection with Deloris<br />
Van Cartier’s love of performing.<br />
Like her character, Clementson<br />
is also a fan of the nightlife, saying<br />
there is nothing like Mama<br />
Hooch on a Friday night.<br />
“That is my favourite thing<br />
to do in the weekend, to go out<br />
and pretend I am the best dancer<br />
win against its unfair rival.<br />
It all starts with a dumb bet.<br />
Ex-professional rugby league<br />
player Arthur, played by Tom<br />
Trevella, puts his life savings on<br />
the line against rival Reg Welsh,<br />
Aaron Boyce, betting he can<br />
train an amateur team to take<br />
down the unbeaten Cobblers<br />
Arms.<br />
If you are wondering, Wheatsheaf<br />
Arms, the team to take on<br />
these champions, are no Melbourne<br />
Storm, in fact they are<br />
almost beyond inept, needing a<br />
bit of convincing to get off their<br />
backsides.<br />
But a combination of ambition<br />
and, arguably, stupidity changes<br />
a bunch of everyday English lads<br />
who enjoys a good drink at the<br />
pub into a physically strong team<br />
there,” she said.<br />
While she describes her dancing<br />
as “gamy”, she thinks it will<br />
work for her role.<br />
<strong>The</strong> past year has already been<br />
a whirl-wind for Clementson,<br />
who has also secured two professional<br />
gigs with <strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre<br />
in its production of Legally<br />
Blonde and the children’s show<br />
Cinderella in Space.<br />
that could actually have a chance<br />
of winning.<br />
This show was chuckle-inducing<br />
from start to finish.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re may only be six actors,<br />
DIVA WITH<br />
A FEVER:<br />
Monique<br />
Clementson<br />
performing in<br />
the Invercargill<br />
Musical<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre’s<br />
version of Sister<br />
Act.<br />
Having a passion to make<br />
people laugh, she has even been<br />
made an apprentice Court Jester<br />
– the team behind the country’s<br />
longest running comedy show<br />
Scared Scriptless.<br />
“If someone was, like, what is<br />
your dream goal? I would full-on<br />
say, I would love to have my own<br />
television show like Ellen or <strong>The</strong><br />
Oprah Winfrey Show . . . and<br />
TEAM: Top Dog <strong>The</strong>atre<br />
has produced a hilarious,<br />
relatable show about the<br />
trials and tribulations of rugby<br />
league.<br />
but each of them made their<br />
characters relatable and brought<br />
a humour to the stage that took<br />
you to the sports grounds of the<br />
show’s setting – Kingston upon<br />
Hull, England.<br />
Each performer had their merits,<br />
but Trevella was a star in his<br />
own right, in that he had such<br />
a natural stage presence which<br />
once again made it easy to forget<br />
you were at a stage show.<br />
He nailed the Yorkshire accent,<br />
and the rugged persona he gave<br />
off sang a stereotypical, aged<br />
former sportsman.<br />
just give away heaps of stuff,” she<br />
said.<br />
Yet like a lot of artists in the<br />
city under pressure to find<br />
full-time work, Clementson has<br />
had times when she worried<br />
she made the wrong decision to<br />
study performing arts.<br />
“Between the time of finishing<br />
Legally Blonde and before I did<br />
a kids show . . . I had nothing<br />
and I was freaking out thinking<br />
I made the wrong decision,” she<br />
said.<br />
But Clementson said she opted<br />
to study at NASDA because she<br />
had never been particularly good<br />
at anything else.<br />
While studying, she was<br />
presented with a number of<br />
“serious” stage roles which she<br />
said were a huge challenge and<br />
developed her as a person.<br />
“All the things I went through<br />
during studying like relationships<br />
and break-ups and all that<br />
gross stuff helped,” she said.<br />
•Sister Act will run at the<br />
Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal from<br />
September 8-23. To book<br />
tickets, visit https://www.<br />
showbiz.org.nz/sister-act<br />
Apart from a tense rugby<br />
game creating the show’s climax,<br />
my favourite scene is when the<br />
Wheatsheaf Arms side are put<br />
through their paces by the nononsense<br />
athlete Hazel, Miriam<br />
van Voorthuizen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 1980s music, and the physical<br />
pain each of the performers<br />
convey as they attempt to navigate<br />
their way through the scary<br />
looking gym machinery, was an<br />
entertaining treat to watch.<br />
Whether Wheatsheaf Arms<br />
win or not, the show is triumphant,<br />
sending a message that<br />
anything can happen if you work<br />
hard.<br />

It’s like sudoku: each<br />
vertical and horizontal<br />
line has to contain<br />
the numbers 1-6, and<br />
the numbers can’t be<br />
repeated in any row or<br />
column.<br />
But it’s sudoku with a<br />
twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />
each heavily outlined<br />
set of squares, called<br />
cages, must produce the<br />
number in the top corner.<br />
For example, 5+ means<br />
the numbers add up to 5,<br />
9x means the numbers<br />
multiply to equal 9.<br />
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />
same line or row.<br />

Cheeky C-HR new<br />
entry for Toyota<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
THE LAST time I drove a<br />
1.2-litre Toyota was the day<br />
I sold my wife’s old <strong>Star</strong>let<br />
– that was 10 years ago.<br />
How times have changed,<br />
if you had told me then<br />
that Toyota would now be<br />
marketing a 1.2-litre sport<br />
utility vehicle I would have<br />
said you were joking.<br />
Well, the joke’s on me<br />
because that’s exactly what<br />
has just landed on the<br />
market, a 1197cc SUV/<br />
crossover which Toyota<br />
have simply badged C-HR<br />
– an acronym for coupe<br />
high-rider.<br />
<strong>The</strong> C-HR is a smart<br />
piece of kit; of course it’s<br />
not overly big but it is bold,<br />
it has edgy styling which<br />
polarises people, most who<br />
I spoke to liked the shape,<br />
but a couple of others felt it<br />
was too weird. Personally,<br />
I grew to like it, the sharp<br />
angles mixed with flowing<br />
curves create a lot of<br />
attention and, judging by<br />
global demand, it is being<br />
well accepted. I particularly<br />
like the position of the rear<br />
door handles, they are situated<br />
just beneath the roof<br />
line and blend into the<br />
design almost invisibly.<br />
In terms of functionality,<br />
the C-HR is quite purposeful,<br />
the interior makes<br />
good use of its compact<br />
proportions, it’s a definite<br />
five-seater, and for three<br />
in the rear it’s cosy but<br />
not tight. In contrast the<br />
interior is a lot more conservative<br />
than the outside<br />
appearance, but it is fresh<br />
and built to the Toyota<br />
quality process. <strong>The</strong> fit and<br />
finish is perfect with high<br />
grade trim materials.<br />
<strong>The</strong> C-HR lands here in<br />
just one specification, well<br />
you do have the choice of<br />
either front-wheel-drive or<br />
four-wheel-drive. It is listed<br />
at $37,990 with the 4WD<br />
option adding an extra<br />
$<strong>20</strong>00. <strong>The</strong> evaluation car<br />
was without drive to the<br />
rear, and that would be my<br />
choice by far. <strong>The</strong> C-HR<br />
is not an off-roader, so for<br />
the odd occasion when you<br />
need that extra grip aside,<br />
I don’t know that I’d be<br />
spending the extra.<br />
However, it’s the mechanicals<br />
which make the C-HR<br />
rather special. Under the<br />
bonnet sits the wee fourpotter,<br />
it’s a twin-camshaft,<br />
16-valve design, but instead<br />
of being naturally aspirated,<br />
it has a turbocharger<br />
to boost power outputs.<br />
Toyota rate the engine with<br />
TOYOTA C-HR: Edgy styling.<br />
healthy figures for its size at<br />
85kW and 185Nm; but the<br />
big secret is the area where<br />
those outputs are developed<br />
– 5<strong>20</strong>0rpm for power<br />
and 1500rpm for torque.<br />
Consequently, they are<br />
low in the rev band and,<br />
that being the case, the<br />
engine works solidly and<br />
strongly right through to<br />
the top end, it is a smooth,<br />
whisper-quiet engine and I<br />
guess when you don’t have<br />
a lot of reciprocating mass<br />
you could expect that.<br />
<strong>The</strong> C-HR isn’t fast but it<br />

Drive is channelled<br />
through a continuously<br />
variable transmission and<br />
it, too, helps enhance the<br />
levels of smoothness and<br />
refinement.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a steady transition<br />
of drive and the ratio<br />
changes don’t load the<br />
engine, that feel of pull<br />
from engine and associated<br />
turbo boost is constant,<br />
the engine feels a lot more<br />
powerful than its figures<br />
suggest. Also, it responds<br />
willingly to throttle pressure,<br />
the beauty of turbocharging<br />
is the instant<br />
response but without the<br />
once heavy fuel use.<br />
Instead, the C-HR is<br />
rated with a 6.4-litre per<br />
100km (44mpg) combined<br />
cycle average. That fits well<br />
with the 8l/100km (35mpg)<br />
average figure showing on<br />
the trip computer, along<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
with a 5l/100km (56mpg)<br />
instantaneous figure sitting<br />
at a steady 100km/h<br />
(engine speed 2750rpm).<br />
I took the test car west to<br />
Hororata and presented it<br />
with some short but challenging<br />
corners into the<br />
Malvern Hills. <strong>The</strong> C-HR<br />
has dynamic handling, and<br />
you’d expect that from a car<br />
which looks like it wants to<br />
move quickly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> suspension is quality<br />
through and through,<br />
it’s a fully independent<br />
strut/wishbone system and<br />
it hasn’t been dampened<br />
overly firm; instead there<br />
are high levels of comfort.<br />
Suspension control and the<br />
way it arrests body movement<br />
is a credit to the engineering<br />
teams.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ride is perfect, yet<br />
you can also force the<br />
C-HR into a corner and it<br />
will respond like a sports<br />
car with direct steering and<br />
plenty of steering feel.<br />
Riding on high quality<br />
Michelin tyres (225/50 x<br />
18in) there is a lot of rubber<br />
on the road and that, too,<br />
contributes to the strong<br />
feeling of stability.<br />
In one of my Lexus evaluations<br />
last year I remarked<br />
that I couldn’t wait to drive<br />
other vehicles with the new<br />
2-litre turbocharged engine<br />
that is finding its way<br />
through those premium<br />
vehicles.<br />
I thought that engine<br />
would also trickle its way<br />
through Toyota product<br />
as well, that hasn’t happened<br />
yet, but Toyota did<br />
surprise me when the<br />
C-HR was lunched, I didn’t<br />
expect its re-entry into<br />
turbocharging would be in<br />
an engine with such small<br />
capacity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact remains, though,<br />
that it works well and<br />
serves to prove that you<br />
don’t need cubic capacity<br />
to glean good performance.<br />
Add all that with those<br />
sharp styling elements and<br />
the C-HR is certainly a<br />
standout SUV.

Lino surprise call up to replace Johnson in Warriors<br />
MASON LINO’S out-of-the-blue<br />
call up to the Warriors is both a<br />
blessing and a curse.<br />
Lino has been named to<br />
replace the injured Shaun<br />
Johnson in the line-up to face<br />
North Queensland on Saturday<br />
night. He was preferred ahead<br />
of Ata Hingano for the clash at<br />
1300smiles Stadium, Townsville.<br />
It will be his first NRL appearance<br />
in almost two years, since<br />
he played three games during<br />
the awful end to the <strong>20</strong>15 season,<br />
when the Warriors lost six<br />
straight after Johnson suffered an<br />
ankle injury.<br />
While Lino, who is the only<br />
change to the Warriors, will be<br />
thrilled at the opportunity, it’s<br />
another “deep end” scenario. He<br />
comes into a team that has lost<br />
two consecutive matches, and<br />
needs a victory to keep their<br />
season alive on the toughest<br />
road trip in the NRL at a ground<br />
where the Warriors have won<br />
once in 11 attempts.<br />
Lino has yet to win an NRL<br />
match. But the 23-year-old has<br />
been rewarded for two consistent<br />
seasons in the Warriors Intrust<br />
Super Premiership team, which<br />
he led to the finals last year and<br />
currently sit second after 19<br />
rounds in this year’s competition.<br />
Lino is a solid player and his<br />
organisational skills must have<br />
been judged as superior to those<br />
of Hingano, who is on the bench<br />
as cover for both halves and<br />
hooker.<br />
It will leave supporters of<br />
Hingano scratching their heads,<br />
though, especially as the Tongan<br />
has been earmarked – at this<br />
stage – to wear the No 6 jersey<br />
next year after Kieran Foran’s<br />
departure.<br />
“We know Mason will do a<br />
good job for us. He has been<br />
really consistent for our ISP side.<br />
At the same time, we have Ata<br />
on the bench, with his ability to<br />
cover the halves and hooker,”<br />
said coach Stephen Kearney.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest range of vehicles in one location<br />
Spoilt for choice: League or rugby<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
TEENAGER PATRICK Elia is<br />
a new breed of young footballer<br />
who has both the rugby union<br />
and league codes at his feet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 17-year-old, who has<br />
starred in this year’s UC Championship,<br />
has a lucrative option<br />
to switch codes and play NRL in<br />
the future, or stick with rugby.<br />
Elia, who is the full-back for St<br />
Thomas’ of Canterbury College,<br />
has signed a contract with the<br />
Warriors and plans to move to<br />
Auckland in November. However,<br />
he is also being sought after<br />
by the Crusaders, who recently<br />
selected him in their under-18<br />
side.<br />
Elia is not the first to be in<br />
this situation. Cruz Topai-Aveai<br />
– last year’s UC Championship<br />
MVP – switched codes to join<br />
the South Sydney Rabbitohs and<br />
is now with the Cronulla Sharks<br />
under-<strong>20</strong> side.<br />
If Elia goes to the Warriors,<br />
he will join one of his first XV<br />
teammates.<br />
St Thomas’ No 8 Seth Tauamiti<br />
has joined the Warriors on a<br />
three-year contract. <strong>The</strong> two<br />
would also become housemates<br />
at Warriors House – a home<br />
away from home for the club’s<br />
most promising junior players.<br />
St Thomas’ connection with<br />
the NRL club doesn’t end there.<br />
Warriors South Island talent<br />
scout Andrew Auimatagi is a<br />
teacher and coach at the school.<br />
Although Elia has signed with<br />
the Warriors, due to an under-18<br />
rule in the NRL, he could potentially<br />
pull the pin if a more<br />
desirable offer comes up.<br />
“Playing any kind of professional<br />
rugby is a dream. It could<br />
still go either way depending on<br />
what’s going to be best for me,”<br />
said Elia.<br />
NRL player agent and former<br />
Kiwis coach Frank Endacott says<br />
it’s no surprise that NRL clubs<br />
are targeting Christchurch union<br />
players.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Canberra Raiders actually<br />
rang me last night suggesting<br />
that they’re coming across and<br />
they’ll be looking at rugby union<br />
players,” said Endacott.<br />
Both codes have their pros<br />
and cons at the developmental<br />
level straight out of secondary<br />
school. However, it’s understood<br />
the Warriors have been able to<br />
offer more of an immediately<br />
beneficial package money-wise<br />
than the Crusaders.<br />
“It seems like, in rugby league,<br />
they reward you first and then<br />
you train hard. With rugby<br />
(union), you have to train hard<br />
and then you’ll get the reward,”<br />
said Elia.<br />
After cracking St Thomas’ first<br />
XV as a year 9, he has progressed<br />
in leaps and bounds. At the<br />
weekend, Elia was part of the<br />
Crusaders Junior Knights team<br />
which lost 10-25 to the Hurricanes<br />
under-18 team.<br />

TALENTED MIDDLE distance<br />
runner Nick Moulai should be<br />
lining up for a 1500m race in the<br />
Bahamas today – but instead he’ll<br />
be playing video games in his<br />
new moon boot.<br />
Moulai, 17, was selected to<br />
run for New Zealand in the<br />
1500m and 3000m events at<br />
the Junior Commonwealth<br />
Games. However, his dreams of<br />
DECISION: Patrick Elia has both codes chasing his services.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
competing in the Bahamas were<br />
left in tatters when he partially<br />
tore his plantaris tendon while<br />
competing in a 3000m race<br />
in Hamilton earlier this month.<br />
“I got almost 2km in and then<br />
it kind of just popped. It was<br />
obviously very frustrating. I’m<br />
staying positive, though, and I<br />
like to think that there will be<br />
bigger and better things to come<br />
in the future,” said Moulai.<br />
He won’t just be playing video<br />
He also has from strong family<br />
links to union. His three older<br />
brothers all played for St Thomas’<br />
first XV. His brother Elia Elia<br />
has since gone on to play for<br />
Manu Samoa and English club<br />
Harlequins.<br />
Last year, Elia got his first taste<br />
of rugby league when he played<br />
for St Thomas at the national<br />
secondary schools tournament<br />
in Auckland.<br />
“That was my first ever game<br />
of league. I was just a fill-in<br />
because they were short of numbers,”<br />
said Elia.<br />
Once he was there, it didn’t<br />
take long for the scouts to take<br />
notice.<br />
“I played pretty well up there<br />
and from that tournament I got<br />
two offers, one from the Warriors<br />
and one from the Cowboys,”<br />
said Elia.<br />
From there, he signed the deal<br />
with the Warriors. However,<br />
the Crusaders Academy are also<br />
after his talents and are hopeful<br />
he may decide to stick with the<br />
15-man code.<br />
games. While Moulai has been<br />
in the moon boot, he’s been<br />
doing aqua jogging to keep up his<br />
cardio fitness.<br />
“It’s so boring,” he jokes.<br />
“It’s just lap after lap, so you<br />
end up finding people to go with<br />
so you can talk through it.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> St Bede’s College student<br />
was a medal hope in the 3000m<br />
at the Junior Commonwealth<br />
Games. In December, he won<br />
the 3000m with a time of 8min<br />
<strong>The</strong> money factor<br />
<strong>The</strong> gap in pay scale<br />
between the top NRL and<br />
Super Rugby stars isn’t<br />
massive. However, earlier<br />
this year Kieran Read was<br />
reported to become the<br />
first All Black to secure a $1<br />
million a year contract. In the<br />
NRL there are five players<br />
believed to be earning in<br />
excess of that figure.<br />
Highest paid NRL players<br />
•Daly Cherry-Evans (Sea<br />
Eagles) – $1.3 million.<br />
•Johnathan Thurston<br />
(Cowboys) – $1.2 million.<br />
•Billy Slater (Storm) – $1.2<br />
million.<br />
•Jarryd Hayne (Titans) – $1.2<br />
million.<br />
•Cameron Smith (Storm) –<br />
$1.1 million.<br />
It’s believed the deadline for<br />
Elia to make a final decision is<br />
before the New Zealand Secondary<br />
Schools rugby squad is<br />
selected later in the year.<br />
As it stands, Elia says he is<br />
leaning in the direction of the<br />
Warriors. However, if he does so,<br />
he says the option of returning to<br />
union in the future isn’t off the<br />
cards.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warriors also recently<br />
secured the services of another<br />
local youngster. Linwood Keas<br />
player Graeme Patu-Vaega’au<br />
will join the Warriors in November.<br />
Junior Commonwealth Games medal hopeful lands in a moon boot<br />
16.77sec, shattering a nine-yearold<br />
age group national record at<br />
the national secondary schools<br />
track and field championships<br />
in Auckland. That same event is<br />
what Moulai’s attention will turn<br />
to after he has recovered from his<br />
injury.<br />

medal hope at the Junior<br />

Bates, begins her campaign in the<br />

Key moments will decide quarter-final – Jeff Wilson<br />
• By Steve Hepburn<br />
FORMER ALL Black and<br />
Highlander Jeff Wilson believes<br />
the Highlanders should go into<br />
Saturday’s quarter-final against<br />
the Crusaders with plenty of<br />
confidence.<br />
Wilson said there were many<br />
emotions heading into the game<br />
for the Highlanders and they<br />
would be sure to harness that.<br />
“A couple of the coaches who<br />
are there, who were instrumental<br />

Convenient central city<br />

Wilson said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y [Highlanders] seem to<br />
be one of those teams that do not<br />
lack for motivation and can use<br />
that emotion to their advantage.’’<br />
Highlanders head coach Tony<br />
Brown will become assistant<br />
coach of Japan after the season,<br />
while defence coach Scott<br />
McLeod is linking up with the<br />
All Blacks.<br />
<br />
Wilson said it was an interesting<br />
time for the Crusaders.<br />
“But now they have lost a couple<br />
on the bounce and know they<br />
will have to be on their game.’’<br />
Wilson said the fact Brown<br />
said before the quarter-final<br />
line-up had been decided that<br />
he wanted to go to Christchurch<br />
and play the Crusaders was a<br />
huge advantage.<br />
“He wanted the Crusaders, did<br />
not want to deal with the travel.<br />

then you have to go through<br />
Christchurch so the way Tony<br />
has approached it you might as<br />
well play them in the quarterfinal<br />
early on.<br />
“And looking at the play-offs,<br />
the quarter-finals, every other<br />
game is away. So we’ve got the<br />
benefit of a local derby in Christchurch.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> Highlanders made a slow<br />
start to the season, losing three<br />
of their first four games, but have<br />
lost just once since then, going<br />
down to the Crusaders in early<br />
June.<br />
Wilson said the Crusaders<br />
obviously had a quality and experienced<br />
forward pack but the<br />
Highlanders had a lot of talent in<br />
the backline.<br />
He said both sides had the<br />
ability to play for the entire 80<br />
minutes and had incredibly<br />
strong defences so it was bound<br />
to come down to a few key moments.<br />

How to stay<br />
warm and dry<br />
Kiwi homes contain hidden health<br />
dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy<br />
homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can<br />
make a home more saleable as well as a<br />
healthier place to live.<br />
Many older homes are cold and damp<br />
and sometimes have other hazards such<br />
as lead-based paint and asbestos.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are a number of steps to take to<br />
make your home more healthy.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y include behavioural change,<br />
the cheapest way to make your home<br />
healthier is to open windows to<br />
ventilate.<br />
If you’re out a lot, but want to<br />
increase natural ventilation buy some<br />
security window stays or locks that<br />
allow you to leave windows slightly<br />
open when you’re out. This can be a lot<br />
cheaper to buy and run than high-tech<br />
systems.<br />
If nothing else, insulate the ceiling<br />
and under the house. <strong>The</strong> Energy<br />
Efficiency and Conservation Authority<br />
(EECA) has information on its website<br />
about funding grants available through<br />
the Warm Up New Zealand campaign.<br />
By 1 <strong>July</strong> <strong>20</strong>19 all rental properties<br />
must have ceiling and underfloor<br />
insulation Ventilation systems move<br />
moisture from the air making the home<br />
healthier and feel warmer.<br />
Adding a sheet of heavy polythene<br />
beneath a home can provide an efficient<br />
moisture barrier beneath piled homes.<br />
A heat pump will warm and ventilate<br />
rooms in the winter and cool them in<br />
the summer. Watch out for hard sell in<br />
this market though and shop around<br />
before buying heating or ventilation<br />

systems.<br />
EECA suggests a number of different<br />
options for secondary glazing, which<br />
is cheaper than retrofitting double<br />
glazing.<br />
Alternatives include DIY window<br />
insulation, aluminium framed<br />
secondary glazing on the inside of<br />
the existing glazing, or acrylic sheets<br />
attached internally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest technology is Low-E films,<br />
which are stuck to existing windows.<br />
This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent<br />
says Chris Olson, general manager of<br />
<strong>The</strong>rmafilmNZ.<br />
Healthy homes aren’t just about<br />
insulation and moisture removal.<br />
Using fewer toxic chemicals can<br />
make your home healthier to live in.<br />
Parents of young children sometimes<br />
worry about exposure to chemicals as<br />
do asthma sufferers. As a result some<br />
buyers will also be impressed.<br />
Dust mites can make a home<br />
unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on<br />
your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum<br />
more often and empty the bag between<br />
cleans.<br />
Decluttering as well reduces the<br />
places that dust can build up.<br />
Mould spores can be very bad<br />
for your lungs. If mould builds up<br />
anywhere in your house clean it off as<br />
soon as possible. If this is an ongoing<br />
problem consider ways to reduce the<br />
humidity.<br />
If your home was built before the<br />
1980s watch out for lead paint and<br />
asbestos. Both should be removed by an<br />
expert.<br />
