‘medic’
who
helped
at rugby
game
• By Andrew King
POLICE HAVE launched
an investigation into the
credentials of a man claiming
to be a medic who assisted a
rugby player with a suspected
neck injury.
The man, who was wearing
a shirt that made him appear
to be a medic was called onto
the field in a colts match
between Christchurch and
Lincoln University on July 8
when a player suffered what
was thought to be at the time a
serious neck injury.
He fitted the player with a
neck brace and administered an
unknown medicine.
The Canterbury Rugby
Football Union has alerted
clubs and schools about the
incident, warning them to be
vigilant of a man impersonating
a medic at rugby games.
“Our understanding was that
this individual was wearing
a uniform and driving a
vehicle that resembled a firstaid
officer,” spokeswoman
Chantelle Te Haara said
yesterday.
“We have not received any
reports from clubs or schools
regarding any further incidents
since this communication was
sent.”

GERRY BROWNLEE has never
been one to take a backward step
in the political arena.
And yesterday he was confronted
with a fairly hostile
audience at a Christchurch
Central debate involving Labour
candidate Duncan Webb, the
Greens Peter Richardson and
Opportunities Douglas Hill.
By all accounts he handled
it well. But the sign hanging in
the Ara Institute of Canterbury
atrium said it all – Where’s
Wagner?
Yes, why wasn’t Wagner fronting
the debate for National? The
question had been asked on
Tuesday, with a number of nonspecific
reasons given.
But, by yesterday afternoon,
her office had seen the light
and revealed she was on Banks
Peninsula in her role as associate
conservation minister.
Wagner should have been at the
political debate yesterday.
She had a great opportunity to
stand up and withstand the barrage
of EQC, Southern Response,
climate change, and tenancy
reform questions people fired at
Brownlee.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw a visit by the Deputy Prime Minister of
Hungary, Dr Juzet Marjai, on August 27, 1986. On August 28,
1890, the great maritime strike (the first of New Zealand’s three
major waterfront strikes) spread to Lyttelton. On August 31, 1959,
The Princess Margaret Hospital was opened. On August 31, 1974,
Prime Minister Norman Kirk (right), MP for Sydenham, died.

EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY
Canterbury police had to urge Game
of Thrones fans not to dial 111 to ask
questions about Monday’s season finale. A
light-hearted post on its Facebook page on
Monday morning said not to phone about
the show. A police spokeswoman said they
received a number of calls that were not
in police jurisdiction. Examples included
someone phoning to complain there was
a fly in their chicken, another phoned to
report they had found a snail in their fridge,
and one person wanted to know how to
roast a chicken. She said people should only
use 111 for genuine emergencies.

David Bain’s wife expecting second child
DAVID BAIN and his wife Liz
Davies are expecting a second
child.
The couple, who married in
early 2014, had their first child
later that year.
In April, it was reported they
were selling their Casebrook
home and planned to move to
Australia.

ANOTHER CROTTY is
helping to stock the family
trophy cabinet, this time in
masters swimming.
Robyn Crotty, the mother
of All Black Ryan Crotty, has
returned home from Europe
with a haul of medals and a new
world championship record.
Crotty, 56, competed at the
FINA World Masters Championships
held in Budapest,
Hungary, and arrived home on
Friday with a gold, three silvers
and a bronze medal.
The highlight of the championships
came in the 55-59 200m
butterfly. Crotty’s time of 2min
44.22sec was not only good
enough for gold, but was also a
new championship record.
It was her second time
competing at the championships
after they were held in
Christchurch in 2002. There
she competed in the 40-44 age
category and it appears age is
not slowing her down.
“I swam faster in Hungary
than I did back then. I’m now
training better and smarter,’’
said Crotty.
Travelling with husband
Steve, the pair were in Budapest
for the All Blacks first Bledisloe
Cup victory, which their son
Ryan played a starring role in.
“Steve found a bar over there

then as soon as I finished he
jumped in a taxi and got himself

Crotty has a strong background
In 1995, Mr Bain was found
guilty of the murder of his
parents, bother and two sisters,
but was acquitted in a retrial in
2009.
Last year, a report by Ian
Callinan QC found Mr
Bain was not eligible for
compensation because he
“has not established his

New Zealand in water polo.
In April she competed at the
World Master Games in Auckland
where she broke three New
innocence on the balance of
probabilities”.
However, he received a
voluntary payment of $925,000
from the Government last year.
Justice Minister Amy Adams
said it was “in recognition of
the time involved and expenses
incurred by Mr Bain during the
compensation process”.

KIDNEY EXCHANGE?
West Melton teenager Maddie
Collins has been told she may be
able to get a potentially life-saving
kidney transplant in the United
States – but it comes with a catch.
Her family was told last week
she would qualify for a “paired
exchange” kidney programme
to get a donated kidney, but only
if someone from her family was
willing to donate a kidney to
an American patient. Maddie’s
brother, Tomas, has agreed to be
tested as a donor in November.
MAN IN RAMPAGE NAMED
The man accused of smashing
storefront windows and cars in
Addington has been remanded
in custody. Elliot Evan Hudson,
28, was charged with 14 counts
of wilful damage in the district
court on Tuesday. He entered no
plea. He was remanded in custody
and is due to reappear today. The
rampage on Monday included
smashing seven windows on
Lincoln Rd, damaging six cars and
a motorcycle.
WITNESSES QUESTIONED
Police have not yet decided if
charges will be laid over an on-field
altercation between two young
rugby players at a match last
month. Senior Sergeant Peter Stills
said police were still questioning
witnesses about what happened
during the altercation between a
West Melton player and a Lincoln
player during a match on July
8. He said the investigation had
been hampered by witnesses who
were “reluctant to talk” to police.
West Melton under-14.5s coach
Amanda Tomlinson has already
been charged with assaulting the
Lincoln player after the match.

Brownlee cops flack – Wagner a no-show
Christchurch Central could be a pivotal seat in next
month’s general election. The Ara Academic Staff of
Canterbury organised a packed debate between the
candidates yesterday, but Nicky Wagner was a no-show.
Bridget Rutherford reports
AS A packed house pummelled
former earthquake minister
Gerry Brownlee with questions,
booing and jeers at yesterday’s
Christchurch Central candidates
debate, Nicky Wagner was
nowhere to be seen.
The hostility
increased
throughout
the two-hour
question and
answer session
at Ara Institute
of Canterbury.
Ilam MP Mr
Brownlee was
standing in for
his Government colleague and
Christchurch Central incumbent
Ms Wagner.
On Tuesday, media began
questioning why Ms Wagner
would not be at yesterday’s
debate. Her office refused to
say where she would be instead,
other than stating she had a
scheduling conflict.
Yesterday, a spokeswoman
confirmed she was on Banks
Peninsula doing conservation
work under her role as associate
conservation minister.
Labour candidate Duncan
Webb’s supporters took the
opportunity to call out Ms
Wagner for not attending, with
a sign that
read “Where’s
Wagner?”
Green
candidate Peter
Richardson
and The
Opportunities
Party’s 24-yearold
candidate
Douglas Hill
also had a large support base in
the crowd from all ages.
Meanwhile, Mr Brownlee was
tested by questions directed at
him and people interrupting
while he spoke.
Ms Wagner beat Labour’s
Brendon Burns to win the seat
for National in 2011 for the first
time in history. In 2014, she beat
Labour’s Tony Milne by a 2420
vote majority.

Christchurch Central electorate debate.

Canterbury University
political scientist Bronwyn
Hayward said Christchurch
Central is a symbolic battle.
“It’s been such a highly
contested seat. Nicky Wagner
fought really hard to get it from
Labour, and Labour is working
very hard to get it back.”
Ms Wagner made two
unrelated posts on her Facebook
page during the candidate
debate.
Her spokeswoman said she
posted them while on the way to
Banks Peninsula, and her staff
helped.
Former mayor and Labour
supporter Garry Moore said it
was “appalling” Ms Wagner was
not there.
“Nicky Wagner is the member
of Parliament for the area and
she should have been here,” he
told The Star.
“Instead, she’s on social
media because Duncan Webb
is the better candidate than her.
Having Gerry here shows the
National Party acknowledged
that.”
The candidates responded to
questions about whether they
supported a Royal Commission
of Inquiry into EQC, Southern
Response, tenancy reform, health
funding, climate change, assisted
dying, transgender surgery
and Environment Canterbury,
among others.
Mr Webb was asked how
Labour was going to pay for its
policies and proposals.
He said Labour had “done
the numbers” based on the preelection
fiscal report, and would
“balance the budget”.
Mr Brownlee said it would
have to come from the taxpayer.
At one point he also said: “As
far as I’m concerned, EQC has
been a roaring success.”
His comment was met with
disdain from the majority of the
crowd, and the other candidates.

Neighbours still feuding
• By Andrew King
AN ONGOING feud between two
neighbours has led to another of the
combatants appearing in court.
Simon Bernard Charles Bates is facing a
wilful damage charge after allegedly damaging
his elderly neighbour’s front door
with an aluminium rake.
Mr Bates told The Star yesterday he
would be defending the charge.
“I just want to deal with the court stuff
and move on with my life.”
In June, The Star revealed the bitter
dispute between Mr Bates and his 76-yearold
neighbour Margaret Sutton over
their shared driveway in Memorial Ave,
Burnside.
Mrs Sutton was found guilty of wilful
damage of a vehicle in Mr Bates’ driveway.
She was discharged without conviction
and ordered to pay Mr Bates compensation
on June 2.
Now Mr Bates is before the courts after
police became involved after the rake
incident.
His next court appearance is in early
October. Yesterday, Mr Bates told The Star
he had used a rake to reach the door to
knock on it.
The trespass order means he is unable
to go up to the door, so he stayed on what
he believed was his part of the shared
driveway.
He wanted to complain to Mrs Sutton
about stakes on the driveway. The incident
happened about 9pm on July 1. Mr Bates
said yesterday a police claim he had been

drinking was incorrect. The neighbourhood
feud has been ongoing since September
last year.
Both Mr Bates and Mrs Sutton have
surveillance cameras on their properties.
Mrs Sutton has claimed dog poo has
been thrown on her property and her garden
deliberately flooded with a sprinkler.
After Mrs Sutton was found guilty of
wilful damage in June, Mr Bates put up a
sign on his garage facing into her property
which said ‘Guilty’. It was taken down
after The Star reported on it.
Mrs Sutton could not be contacted for
comment.

A BITTER 10-month
neighbourhood dispute has led
to an elderly woman facing the
courts.
The 76-year-old was found
guilty in the district court on
Friday of wilful damage. It
related to damage caused to a
neighbour’s vehicles. She was
discharged without conviction
in the judge-alone hearing and
ordered to pay reparation to her
neighbour.
Police hoped the court appearance
would finally end the
dispute in upmarket Memorial
Ave, Burnside. But already the
signs are there – literally – that
the dispute is not over.
After her court appearance,
the neighbour whose vehicles
were damaged put up a ‘Guilty’
sign which faces the woman’s
property.
The elderly woman refused to
talk to The Star this week. Her
neighbour said he and his family
just wanted to move on.

When asked why he had put up

he was unhappy she had been
discharged without conviction.
The sign would remind her she

“She believes that she owns the
driveway, but it’s a shared one,”
the neighbour said.
It led both parties to set up
surveillance cameras aimed at
each other’s properties and tit

harassment.
That included the 76-year-old
alleging dog poo was thrown
onto her property and water deliberately
flooding her garden.
The man said water from his
sprinkler had gone onto the
woman’s property but he denied
dog poo had been thrown.
Police became involved when
the woman and her neighbour
laid separate complaints about
each other.
Police tried to broker a truce
but the complaints continued.
The feud escalated in October
when the neighbour found two
cars on his property had been
damaged.
He reported it to the police but
was told it was his word against
hers.

Vulnerable children waiting for help
• By Gabrielle Stuart
VULNERABLE Canterbury
children are having to wait
almost six months, on average,
for an appointment with a
mental health specialist.
Schools and social services
say many children are falling
through the cracks because of
the problems with the service.
The numbers
come from the
Canterbury District
Health Board
child and youth
mental health
Val Carter
service, which has
been under pressure
since the earthquakes.
They show children aged 12 or
younger waited an average of 28
days for a first appointment with
a clinician after being referred to
the service, where the urgency of
their case was decided. They then
had to wait another 150 days for
an appointment with a specialist
– almost six months in total.
That compared to a wait of
eight days for the average adult –
four days for a first appointment,
and another four days for a
specialist appointment.
It comes after provisional
suicide statistics for Canterbury,
SUPPORT: Home and Family senior counsellor Cheryl O’Neill
working with a child in the play therapy room.
released this week, show 126
Cantabrians took their own lives
in the past 18 months.
Home and Family Society
executive director Val Carter
said she believed helping young
children early and teaching them
good mental health strategies
could help to reduce the suicide
rate in the future.
“If we don’t act now, in 10
years the problem is going to be
huge,” she said.
She said the Home and Family
Society counsellors were increasingly
getting referrals directly
from GPs, as they knew children
were likely to have to wait a
long time for help in the public
system.
CDHB Child & Family
Service clinical director Harith
Swadi said any children who were
deemed to be “in urgent need”
had their case prioritised. They
were sometimes seen within days.
“We believe that those in the
greatest need are being seen first,
and that this is the fairest way we
can operate to maintain access
to specialist services. Of course
we would always like to provide
more services to more people,
but we are making the best use of
the resources we have.”
Canterbury Primary Principal’s
Association president
Margaret Trotter said the wait
times for appointments put some
families off asking for help at all.
“We’re seeing extreme cases
being picked up, but the other
children, who would have been
picked up in the past, face either
a long delay or their cases are
judged not serious enough to be
seen,” she said.
Schools told her the numbers
of young children who were
stressed or had behavioural
issues were still growing, she
said.
The CDHB currently has 75
staff working in Child & Family
mental health services. Seven
full-time staff work on its school
mental health team, covering 136
schools across Canterbury.
Arahura Centre counsellor
Kim Lingley said she was also
seeing growing demand for child
counselling services.
She said it had been predicted
by international studies looking
at what happened after disasters.
“Even six or seven years after
the earthquakes there are still a
lot of issues around unsettledness,”
she said.
Because of the demand on
services, she said the cases they
were seeing were more extreme.
BY THE NUMBERS
Average wait times for
CDHB mental health
services:
Children (0-12): 28 days
for a first appointment,
then 150 days for a specialist
appointment
Teens (13-18): 18 days for
a first appointment, then
68 days for a specialist
appointment
Adults: Four days for a
first appointment, then
four days for a specialist
appointment

Group writes to queen
in bid to save hospital
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A GROUP fighting to save
The Princess Margaret
Hospital from possible
demolition has taken
the battle right to the
top – writing to Queen
Elizabeth to ask for her
support.
The Save
PMH group
has been
campaigning
to have
the hospital
buildings
kept open,
and wants community
health services to be based
there.
A decision about the
future of the site has
not yet been made, as
Canterbury District
Health Board mental
health services are still
based there.
Save PMH chairman
Lee Sampson said the
group wrote to the queen
to get more “public
accountability” around
the future of the hospital.
He was concerned a
decision would be made
behind closed doors,
without other options for
the site being explored.
The letter asked for
the queen’s support,
mentioning her visit to the
hospital in 1977 as part of
her Jubilee Tour, and that
the hospital was named
after her sister, Princess
Margaret.
The letter said: “NZ is
still a young nation and
Christchurch has already
lost so much heritage
fabric over the last six to
seven years through the
earthquakes, therefore
PLEA: Lee
Sampson with
his letter to
the queen,

we would be extremely
grateful of your support
in asking the CDHB to at
least explore other options
for TPMH buildings and
services prior to them
sending in the wrecking
ball and our community
losing this jewel in our
crown forever.”
Some of the buildings at
the hospital had structural
damage from the
earthquakes, while others
only needed cosmetic
repairs.
The building ratings
range from less than 15
per cent of the New
Building Standard to 100
per cent.

Govt accused of rushing decision
• By Gabrielle Stuart
HEALTH BOARD members
have accused the Government
of rushing a decision on the
future of services at The Princess
Margaret Hospital, in order to
announce it before the election.
An emergency meeting of
Canterbury District Health
Board members was called this
month to approve a plan to relocate
the last mental health services
still based at the hospital.
CDHB members say the
business case was put to them
at about 9am on August 11, and
they were asked to approve it by
noon that day.
Board member Anna
Crighton, who has served three
terms on the board, said she had
never seen a significant decision
“rushed through” so fast.
When asked if she believed a
decision was rushed because of
the election, she said “the process
alone would indicate that.”
A decision on the future of the
services is expected before the
election on September 23.
The CDHB has refused to
release the report or the decision
made at the meeting, as it was
“public excluded”. That was so the
Jonathan Coleman Anna Crighton Jo Kane Andrew Dickerson
CDHB could “carry on without handled.
after she called him “lazy” in an
prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations”,
a spokeswoman said.
Dr Crighton said she “not happy”
with the process, but agreed
to have the meeting because she
was concerned about the future
for vulnerable patients if the
service was kept at the hospital.
Most CDHB services based at
the The Princess Margaret Hospital
were moved to Burwood
Hospital in June last year.
In November last year, the
CDHB put a business case to the
Ministry of Health outlining a
plan to move the mental health
services, but it was not approved.
Fellow board member Jo Kane
said she was “furious” about
the way the process had been
Board member Andrew
Dickerson said he would not
give a view on whether or not
the process was “politically motivated”,
but said he was deeply
concerned about it.
But board member David
Morrell disagreed, saying the
board had previously done a lot
of background work on the issue,
so he was comfortable with
the way it was handled.
When The Star asked Health
Minister Jonathan Coleman
for his response yesterday, he
replied that “given it’s election
time I’m unsurprised by these
comments.”
He has previously described
Ms Kane as “anti-government”,
interview.
Dr Coleman did not answer
questions from The Star yesterday
about whether he was
involved in setting the deadline
for the decision, and whether he
planned to make an announcement
about it before the election.
Ministry of Health DHB funding
and planning chief adviser
John Hazeldine said the initial
indicative business case could not
be progressed because it “did not
cover all the information required,”
including a funding source.
He said the current facilities
at the hospital were “highly unsatisfactory”,
and the ministry
was progressing the process as
quickly as possible.

Permanent liquor ban plan for streets
• By Bridget Rutherford
Mark Bodman
• By Bridget Rutherford
A PERMANENT alcohol ban
could be put in place on the
streets around AMI Stadium and
Horncastle Arena.
Vbase catering general manager
Mark Bodman said people
drinking in the car parks and
on the streets near both venues
before going into events was a
problem.
“This leads,
on occasion, to
guests either
being refused
entry for being
intoxicated
or being allowed
access
as the signs of
intoxication may not become
necessarily observable until 15 to
30min after consuming alcohol
and, by the time the signs are
evident, they have then entered
the licensed premises.”
He said currently Vbase was
unable to stop people drinking in
those areas.
“Issues we have experienced
includes assault of Vbase staff
and members of the public, public
nuisance, littering and lewd
behaviour.”
He said there had been one
incident of assault in the past
ELECTION candidates are
continuing to break the rules with
the placement of their billboards.
National’s Port Hills candidate
Nuk Korako had to move one of
his mobile election billboards after
it was parked on a grass verge
without permission.
The billboard, which sits on a
trailer with the list MP’s face and
slogan on it, was parked on New
Zealand Transport Agency land
near the intersection of Halswell
Rd and Aidanfield Drive on
Tuesday morning.
Metres from the trailer was a
sign that read: “Unauthorised
year, on July 14 last year, where
a Vbase security guard was
assaulted, and so was a staff
member.
It happened during a Broods
concert at Horncastle.
“The staff member suffered minor
wounds and was treated by
medical personnel. The patron
was evicted and trespassed, and
subsequently arrested.”
Mr Bodman said they wanted
the ban to cover the same area
as the temporary ban during
New Zealand Trotting Cup Day,
advertising and vehicles being
offered for sale will be removed at
the owners expense 24 hours seven
days”.
Mr Korako said NZTA
contacted his office on Tuesday
asking for the sign to be
moved.
“I apologised profusely on behalf
of the team.”
He said he thought it had been
parked “on the wrong side of the
road”.
NZTA senior traffic safety
engineer David Scarlet said no
permission was sought and staff
asked for it to be removed.
“The vehicle and trailer was
removed on Tuesday afternoon
which is bordered by Lincoln Rd,
Moorhouse Ave, Blenheim Rd,
Matipo St and Wrights Rd.
The city council is investigating
the idea.
City council acting head of
strategic policy Gavin Thomas
said the community governance
team would now do a preliminary
analysis into whether the
ban would be appropriate.
He said an alcohol ban would
be a “last resort” to address a
proven and significant public
order issue.
shortly after getting a call from the
transport agency,” Mr Scarlet said.
Last month, Mr Korako’s
campaign team nailed one of
his billboards directly over Port
Hills MP Ruth Dyson’s sign on
the corner of Centaurus and St
Martins Rds.
Both said they had permission to
put their billboards on the fence.
Mr Korako said Ms Dyson
put hers up before it was allowed
under the rules, but she denied
that was the case.
In May, Labour’s Christchurch
Central candidate Duncan Webb
and Mr Korako were told to take
down their election signs because
they were too big.
PLAN: Vbase,
which runs
Horncastle
Arena and
AMI Stadium,
wants a
permanent
alcohol ban
in Addington
to help
run events
smoothly.
Christchurch alcohol harm
reduction manager Senior Sergeant
Gordon Spite said police
were supportive of the proposed
alcohol ban.
He said the temporary ban in
place on cup day was effective in
reducing alcohol harm, and rules
would be easier to understand if
it was permanent.

Ara student Danielle
Johnstone, who lives in Mr
Brownlee’s Ilam electorate,
asked why he did not
attend a candidate debate

Mr Brownlee said he preferred
to hold street corner
meetings to avoid the “verbal
jousting” he received at yesterday’s
event.
“If you look at this audience
today and you looked at
the applause that was given
at the start for the various

do at those meetings is bring

Fooling
about leads
to shocks
• By Julia Evans
TOMFOOLERY put three high
school students in hospital after
they received electric shocks.
The Hillmorton High
School students were taken
to Christchurch Hospital on
Tuesday after receiving the
shocks during a woodwork
class.
The students were back in
class by Wednesday morning.
School staff called an
ambulance after the trio showed
up at the sick bay reporting their
injuries.
St John arrived at the school,
on Tankerville Rd, at about
12.14pm on Tuesday.
Principal Ann Brokenshire
said although the boys were
able to walk, the school did not
“muck around” considering the
nature of the incident.
Ms Brokenshire said the
incident was caused by
“tomfoolery” from the students.
“This is what happens when
you fool around with a cord in a
socket,” she said.
Ms Brokenshire said the
school will be talking with the
boys about their actions.
Parking wardens report more assaults
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE NUMBER of assaults and
abuse being reported by the city’s
parking wardens has increased
in the past year, in spite of them
being given body cameras to
wear.
But the city council says the
new technology has encouraged
staff to report incidents more,
because the footage provided
reliable evidence.
The 21 parking wardens were
given the body-mounted cameras
in April last year. They can
be activated if staff think their
safety is at risk.
City council transport operations
manager Aaron Haymes
said there had been 36 reported
incidents since they were introduced
– 12 of which were physical
assaults.
In the 15 months prior, there
were 19 reported.
“Our experience has shown
that the body-worn cameras
have increased safety for our
staff by lessening the seriousness
of incidents and discouraging
undesirable behaviour.”
He said previously a number of
incidents went under the radar,
but the cameras now provided
reliable evidence.
“This means it’s more likely

that somebody will be held to account
for their actions, and that
encourages staff to report.”
Mr Haymes said surprisingly,
most assaults on staff were carried
out by people who had no
connection to the issuing of an
infringement.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Godfather shaped surfboard industry
Surfboard-maker
Denis Quane’s
trailblazing career will
be celebrated in an
exhibition next year
as part of the Duke
Festival of Surfing. He
spoke to Sarla Donovan
THE GODFATHER of New
Zealand surfboard-making
doesn’t have a board of his
own.
Denis Quane sold his last one
18 months ago and since then he
and wife Chris have been busy
shifting back into their rebuilt
house on Moncks Spur.
Out for six years after the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
the Quanes are relieved to finally
be home after shifting around
half a dozen places, from Clifton
Hill to Cashmere and even out to
Rolleston.
Normally he’d be out surfing
come summertime, as a longtime
member and patron of
the Sumner Longboarders
Club.
But this summer, Mr Quane,
75, might need to take some
time off. Not only does he need
to make himself a board, he’s
also due to go in for surgery after
ripping a tendon in his shoulder,
slipping on icy ground at the Mt
Hutt skifield car park.
Mr Quane has spent a lifetime
shaping and making surfboards,
and now there’s to be an
exhibition celebrating his work
early next year.
It’s part of the Duke Festival
of Surfing, the biggest surfing
festival in the country, held in
New Brighton for the past three
years.
“I think it’s fantastic,” Mr
Quane says. “Judging by the
number of people who came
to last year’s event, there’s a lot
of interest in this sort of
thing.”
Exhibition organiser Simon
Allard says what’s unique about
Quane Surfboards is they were
made by a trailblazer.
“He led the charge in
introducing modern boards to
New Zealand and the Pacific. He
was a real pioneer.”
As a teenager, he worked
for Mr Quane, describing him
as a “quiet and unassuming
fellow with a passion for the
sea.”
It was the 1950s when Mr
Quane started making boards in
a shed he built at the back of his
parents’ house.
“The shed was part of the
temporary Sumner Surf Life
Saving Club which was down
in Clifton Bay. There were two
wooden sheds on the old pier
by the Beach Cafe. It used to go
out about 30-40m and when the
original surf club was taken off
the middle of Sumner Beach,
it was transported down to St
Leonards Square for the cricket
club.
“They then built a couple of
wooden sheds on that pier for
the surf club. When the new one
was built over at the bottom of
Clifton Hill, I got permission to
demolish one of the sheds and
take it away. I took it down piece
by piece and rebuilt it in the back
of my parents’ place on Nayland
St.”
Like many early surfers, Mr
Quane came to the sport through
surf lifesaving, after joining the
Sumner club in 1953.
“When I was 13, some older
guys started fooling around with
polystyrene and made a seven
foot foam board. I was the only
one small enough to ride it, and
I just kept riding it through high
school.”
He went on to design and

20, outside the shed he built
at his home in Nayland St. The
board was foam and glass
and used as a benchmark.
build a series of surf skis, race
boards and hollow plywood
boards.
When the orders began
pouring in, he quit his job with a
stock and station company and
started Quane Surfboards.
Operations shifted from the
garden shed to a shop opposite
the Hollywood Theatre, next
to the butcher and the fish and
chip shop. A shift to Redcliffs
followed, into what’s now the
Menz Shed, before moving into
general fibreglass work with
Quane Industries in Maces
Rd.
The fibreglass operation
(things like freezing works tubs
and garden ponds) came about
following a downturn in the mid-
70s. Shortboards came in and a
lot of the older surfers couldn’t
ride them – “most longboards
got tucked away.”
Dope-smoking became
widespread, imported Japanese
motor-cycles were coming into
the country and people who had
surfed started going into the
back-country, leaving surfing
and going biking instead.
“It became uncool to be a
surfer at that stage. You could go
down to Sumner at the weekend,
there might be four or five people
there.”
He kept making boards on
and off throughout the
downturn though, and
eventually surfing took off again
in the early 80s.
A few years later, Mr Quane
opened his first retail shop, Surf
Dive and Ski on High St. When
it became a one-way street, he
shifted to Oxford Tce, then
Colombo St and later combined
with Snowline Sports to open
Snow and Surf in Tuam St.
After nearly 60 years of
making and shaping boards
he still has a shaping bay in
Ferrymead, working up to a
dozen boards a year before
sending them to a factory in
Woolston for finishing. Special
orders only though.
A Quane board will set you
back around $2000, while an
overseas-made one might retail
for about $1500.
The planned exhibition will
feature the third board he
made, a hollow plywood. He’s
got no idea where the first one
might be, or even if it’s still
around.
“We used to have agents all
over the country so I don’t know
where they all went,” he said.
“We sent a couple over to the

HUNTER
Channel Islands at one stage
and a shipment of about 30
to Venezuela. They pop up all
over the place. There’s still a lot
around we made in the 1960s.
It depends on how they’re used,
how long they last.”
For the exhibition, Mr Allard
is hoping to get 150 Quane
surfboards altogether. He
currently has about 70.

Study Science Health Pathways
You CAN pathway to a
degree at Ara Institute
of Canterbury
Ara is reaching out, to help you reach
the qualifications you need, to get the
career you want, with Study Health
Science pathways.
The “NZ Certificate in Study and
Career Preparation Level 4” was recently
launched to help learners prepare for
higher qualifications.
“If you don’t meet the entry
requirements for a degree or diploma in
health or science, this new qualification
is for you,” Elizabeth Schmidt, Manager
of Academic Operations for Nursing,
Midwifery and Allied Health says.
“It’s a fantastic solution. You can
complete this qualification in six months,
and then apply to study a degree in
nursing, midwifery, medical imaging,
engineering, architectural studies,
business or applied science.”
Students can specialise in pre-health,
applied science, medical imaging,
construction and architectural studies,
engineering technology or applied
management.
There is also a six-month level 3
option available across a wide range
of programmes, leading to the level 4
programme or to further study at diploma
ADVERTORIAL
level.
Whether you are a school leaver,
changing careers or returning to study
after a break, the Study Health Science
pathways will set you on the path to
success.
It’s easy to enrol. Visit www.ara.ac.nz
or ring 0800 24 24 76 and talk to our staff
today.
but make no mistake, this new entity is
about the city and the region flying in
formation.
Having one organisation responsible
for promoting the city’s economic development,
another promoting tourism
opportunities, conferences and conventions,
another promoting international
education and, finally, the city council
promoting major events, without the
strategic approach our Visitor Strategy
demands, has meant we have not been flying
in formation.
The name ChristchurchNZ is designed
to emphasise Christchurch as a destination
and as the international gateway to
Canterbury and the South Island of New
Zealand. Our link to Antarctica is also a
vital part of our story, dating back to the
heroic age of explorers and now representing
cutting-edge research and science,
which will help us understand the climate
challenges we face.
A separate tagline can emphasise each
component of what we do including,
where appropriate, the wider region of
Canterbury, which is as vital to our city as
it ever was. The productivity of the Canterbury
Plains is enormously important,
but even more so is the capacity to add
value to what we grow.
SEPTEMBER is an
important month for
Christchurch. Yes, there’s a
general election, but there’s
also another vote taking
place that will determine
the future direction of our
central city.
Next week, Christ Church Cathedral’s
Synod – 225 members of the Anglican
diocese – will consider the Government’s
offer to support reinstatement alongside
two other options – a contemporary new
build or gifting the Cathedral to
the people of Christchurch and New
Zealand.
The Government offer includes $48.7
million from the Government, city council
and Great Christchurch Building Trust.
With the church’s insurance proceeds of
$42 million, total funding reaches $90.7
million – enough to complete the Cathedral
and ancillary buildings.
As Minister supporting Greater
Christchurch Regeneration, I believe this
option is our best shot at moving forward
as it balances the needs of the church with
those of the people of Christchurch and
wider Canterbury.
But, as mentioned, it’s not the only option
on the table.
Bishop Victoria Matthews and I have
The time for bringing our economic development
capacity together with tourism,
major events and international education
is now. By flying in formation, the benefits
to the city will be significantly greater.
Each will be strengthened by working in
the same team.
The rebuild market will cool and we
need to be prepared. At the same time, we
must face the challenges of an ageing population.
In the next decade, the millennials
will outnumber the baby-boomers.
As they take their rightful place as leaders
nationally and locally, we will see a significant
change in terms of expectations,
aspirations and dreams.
We must keep our sights firmly focused
on the future and flying in formation is
the way to go.

Cathedral decision time
Nicky Wagner
met regularly over the past few months
and, as a courtesy, she let me know a third
option — gifting the Cathedral — would
also be presented at Synod.
I’ve always said an agreed decision
is absolutely vital and that’s what we’ll
continue to work toward, but this option
shows the church is thinking innovatively
about the Cathedral’s future.
While we wait for a decision on the Cathedral
itself, plans to reshape the Square
are under way. A draft concept, released by
Regenerate Christchurch, proposes creating
three lively gathering places, each with
their own character and purpose, within a
greener setting.
It would be wonderful to see the Square
return to being the bustling heart of our
city, as it was in its heyday.
I look forward to a decision by Synod
next week — it’s time.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Leading New Zealand architect
Michael O’Sullivan, who is
heavily involved in the rebuild,
has described the central city’s
proposed 25,000-seat stadium as
“ungenerous and short-sighted”. He
said it should be built in the Port of
Lyttelton instead
myriad of issues is imperative in bolstering
community involvement within council
decision-making. Through mail box drops,
social media, public meetings and online
submissions, various items inclusive of
financial and prioritised data presently enables
the public sector the opportunity to air
their views over these often contentious issues.
It is ludicrous that many opposing the
council’s protocol on public consultation
are often the same brigade accusing the city
council of bureaucratic attitudes regarding
decision-making devoid of public feedback.
Within this context, consultation on any
issue within city council criteria is essential
for all our populace.

Jo Zervos – Dave East is so right on
saying the system needs an overhaul. As
spokeswoman for the Keep QEII in the
East group we underwent several processes
of consultations most which obviously had
pre-determined outcomes and lacked options.
Lea Koning – Well you would hope to
stop them building stupid, ugly things like
the hydroslide over the airport entrance
road. A complete waste of money.
Scotty Ogilvie – An excuse to pay consultants.
Maybe I should be a consultant . . .
I could consult on common sense.

Lee Purves – This article loses sight
of the fact that both the Wellington and
Dunedin stadiums are walking distance to
the city centre and sources of public transport
in all directions. Lyttelton is nowhere
near the city centre and would not have the
infrastructure to cope with sudden influxes
of 30,000+ people . . . with only one way of
getting out.

Ian Johnson – Relocate the tank farm
– yeah right. Build on reclaimed contaminated
land – what a joke. Not to mention
a $500 million major asset subject to sea
level rise – no foresight at all. The Town
Planners through Share an Idea had good
reason why the stadium is located in the
CBD close to bars and accommodation.
Cathryn Lucy – Lyttelton residents
don’t need all the drunks there and transport
would be a nightmare and probably
be dangerous with more people driving
under the influence as taxis are expensive
and parking limited. The noise would echo
around the hills like crazy too. What a
ridiculous idea.

Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
Remove the outer layers of

skins.
Meanwhile, toss the sprouts in
walnut and olive oil. Season and
place in a roasting dish, cook for
15min, then add the pinenuts
and currants. Return to the

Local place names
rediscovered in new book
Canterbury University Press (CUP) has
this month published Place Names of Banks
Peninsula and the Port Hills, by award-winning
regional historian Gordon Ogilvie.
With a deep knowledge of this part of
New Zealand, Ogilvie challenged himself to
write a comprehensive successor to Johannes
Andersen’s Place-Names of Banks Peninsula, first
published in 1927.
“Andersen’s work is rightly regarded as
a classic, but it’s been out of print for many
years. This new book is a much-needed
successor and is an important addition to
Gordon’s acclaimed histories of the region,”
CUP publisher Catherine Montgomery says.
Ogilvie’s new book is a history of the
place names of Banks Peninsula, Lyttelton
Harbour, the Port Hills and suburbs including
Heathcote, Halswell and Tai Tapu. He has also
been able to include rarely seen sketches and
paintings from the Alexander Turnbull Library
and Christchurch Art Gallery collections.
Ogilvie says researching the linguistic and
cultural significance of place names was
something of a salvage operation, because
many of the people and places identified in the
book are no longer around.
While that was a challenge, the new version
benefits from resources not available during
Andersen’s research a century ago.
“The National Library’s Papers Past online
database allowed me to go back to almost
the very beginning of some place names –
finally settling arguments about the origins
of place names like Okains and Le Bons Bays.
Maps from the National Geographic Board,
museums and galleries also helped,” he says.
The book provides names, explains
their meaning and gives a short history of
communities. English, French and Mãori names
are included – many of which Andersen
sourced directly from kaumãtua 100 years ago.
Tribal differences and spelling variations are
also captured, but mysteries still remain, with
the origins of some unresolved.
“Banks Peninsula, Lyttelton Harbour and the
Port Hills of Christchurch offer a wonderfully
diverse and kaleidoscopic array of names that
speak of the area’s Mãori and colonial history
and the people who have been there before
you,” says Ogilvie.
“I’ve always found the history of places
intriguing and this area is particularly
fascinating with whalers, flax traders, boat
builders, French Catholic priests, Mãori
pã, shooting ranges, timber-milling, farming,
brickworks, breweries, malt works, battle sites
and vineyards all represented.”
Ogilvie has visited most of the area over
many years of research and leisure activities
and says “researching the book was quite an
adventure”.
“My life’s ambition has been to write on
the hills and peninsula because I love them
so much and wanted to share the love and
knowledge with others. I’ve done that now
and hope readers take what I took from it –
the excitement of discovery.”

history has been a lifelong passion, but his
22 books also include The Riddle of Richard
Pearse (1973) and Denis Glover: His Life (1999),
which were both Book of the Year finalists.
He has twice won the JM Sherrard Award for
New Zealand Regional History for The Port Hills
of Christchurch (1978) and Banks Peninsula:
Cradle of Canterbury (1990). He balanced his
writing with a busy career as a secondary
school English teacher, including 24 years as
head of English at St Andrew’s College until his
retirement in 1993. In 2000, he was awarded
an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the
University of Canterbury in recognition of his
contribution to the province’s literature. He
received an ONZM for services to historical
research and writing in 2008.
Bridging the technology &
generation gap
Papanui Library, in conjunction with Papanui
High School, has launched a new programme
called GenConnect. The programme was
started at Upper Riccarton Library in 2016
and following its huge success, Papanui
Library is offering this service to residents in
that area.
The idea behind GenConnect is to
increase interactions between the younger
generations and older adults by providing
free technology help. If the programme is
successful at Papanui Library, it will be offered
as a regular programme during the school
terms.
Young people born in the age of digital
technology, and known as digital natives, can
navigate most aspects of it with ease, as they
have an innate understanding of how it works.
But for people who are “digital immigrants”
and have to learn how to use it so they can
enjoy the benefits, they might find it takes a
bit of practice and perseverance before they
feel comfortable using it. Technology is not
particularly intuitive.
This is where GenConnect comes in.
Technology-oriented intergenerational
programmes are a way to bridge the
generational pay gap by providing an
opportunity for interaction. Students help
older adults feel more comfortable with
digital technology such as smart phones,
tablets or laptops, which might be of use to
them. For their part, adults can contribute by
sharing local community history and helping

the students learn skills necessary when
teaching things such as empathy, kindness and
patience.
Even though technology is the core of the
programme, in reality, it is used as a vehicle
to enhance intergenerational relationships
and to stimulate learning and dialogue,
which may result in better communication,
understanding and co-operation.
The high school students that deliver
the programme freely volunteer their time,
and can answer many questions or doubts,
including:
• How to set up and use your smart phone,

• How to set up an email account
• How to set up and use Facebook or

• How to share your photos with friends

• How to use technology to make your life

Putting Amberley on the map
A group of 37 Amberley business owners
have joined forces to launch AmberleyNZ, a
new promotional strategy that highlights the
wide range of eateries, attractions, boutique
retail, experiences and accommodation that
Amberley has to offer.
They were inspired by the fact that business
is booming in Amberley, with 12 new small
businesses having set up shop in the town
over the last two years.
Although Amberley has suffered hardship
following years of ongoing droughts and the
devastating November 2016 earthquake that
impacted the flow of north-bound traffic
through the town, these Amberley business
owners are determined to build on the unique
vibe of their town and cement its reputation
as a memorable destination.
The project was the brainchild of Trish
Coleman, owner of Mumma T’s Trading
Lounge, who approached local designer
Margot Korhonen from Spruce Design +
Marketing to put together a map showcasing
all the exciting places to visit in Amberley.
Claire Inkson from Claire Inkson Photography
then introduced the idea of expanding
the project to include more retailers. The
motivated trio developed the project scope to
promote Amberley, as well as supporting the
entire North Canterbury region. The final step
in the process was approaching other business
owners, who welcomed the “wonderful
step forward” for their town. AmberleyNZ
was launched in late July at the popular
Nor’Wester Café.
A Map showcasing all that Amberley and
the wider region has to offer is available
from a number of retailers, stores and cafes
throughout the town. Trish, Margot and Claire
hope that the map and the new promotion
strategy will encourage visitors to spend more
time in Amberley, while uncovering some of its
hidden gems.
What you will find there…
Just 40 minutes north of Christchurch,
Amberley is the perfect location for a day trip.
Previously considered as an ‘ice-cream stop’,
Amberley now incorporates a unique boutique
shopping experience with plenty of free
parking and not a chain store in sight.
After exploring the main street, stroll
along the side streets to uncover hidden
treasures including quirky Kiwiana stores and
homeware emporiums filled with everything
from Balinese décor to country, modern and
vintage-style interior items. Many retailers
stock items that showcase the artistic talents
of local craftspeople and make ideal gifts.
Lovers of fashion are also catered for with
two edgy clothing boutiques, along with an
iconic clothing store with a cult following built
up during two decades of catering for “real
women”.
When it’s time for a snack or lunch you
will find every need catered for, with choices
including an authentic French bakery, artisan
cafes, fine cuisine and even a craft brewery
with wood-fired pizzas. On Saturdays, the
highly regarded Waipara Valley Farmers’
Market is a great way to experience local
produce and meet the regional growers. The
neighbouring Amberley Craft Market presents
a delightful handicraft experience.
Offering much more than just shopping,
Amberley’s attractions include sculptures,
murals, historic buildings, established parks and
playgrounds, stunning beaches and a growing
network of walking and cycling trails.
After some retail therapy and refuelling
with sumptuous local fare, you can indulge
and pamper yourself at one of the local hair
salons or beauty therapy clinics. These clinics
and salons use quality products, and provide a
Margot Korhonen, left, Claire Inkson and Trish Coleman at the launch of
AmberleyNZ
peaceful and unhurried atmosphere in which
to relax and unwind.
The real ingredient that makes Amberley
such a unique and pleasurable experience is
the people. You will meet motivated locals,
inspiring entrepreneurs and business owners
who are passionate about local ingredients,
products and supporting each another. That’s
what makes Amberley the perfect place to eat,
shop, pamper, play and stay.

Looking your best -
50-plus and onwards
Looking their best is important to women
of any age. Forward 50 asks Personal Style
Consultant Joanna Giles of Love Your Look
how women 50+ can dress to look great and
feel confident.
What advice do you have for
women over 50 who want to
dress ‘on trend’ without looking
as if they are trying too hard to
appear young?
Women 50+ often mention to me that
they are worried about looking like ‘mutton
dressed as lamb’, but it is actually a problem I
rarely see. My bigger concern is that women
sometimes have a tendency to veer too far
the other way, and dress too old for their age,
‘mutton dressed as dead.’
To avoid this tendency, remember that
Baby Boomers rule the world! Because Baby
Boomers are such a large proportion of the
population they are re-creating the rules for
how women dress at 50, 60, 70 and beyond.
Just look at what celebrities like Hallee Berry
(50), Michelle Pfeiffer (58), Christie Brinkley
(63), Helen Mirren (72) and Judi Dench (82)
are wearing and looking absolutely stunning in.
To feel confident about dressing well for your
age group, choose a celebrity Muse to get
ideas of the fashion looks you could try.
It is important to stay up to date with
fashion and easy to lose your confidence
and get left behind. For a confidence boost
and to keep up with current fashion trends
that will suit you I recommend joining a Style
Course to learn which colours suit your eye
colour and current hair and skin colour, (these
change as we age), which clothing cuts work
for your current body shape (which often also
changes around menopause) and the modern
ways to create stunning outfits out of fashion
separates.
Depending on individual sizes
and body shapes, what types of
garments are most flattering
for women in this age group?
I believe every woman is beautiful. Beauty
is not a particular size, shape, age or skin or
hair colour. Any woman, whether a size 6 or
26+, can look great in colours and clothing
cuts that highlight her assets and quietly
camouflage any problem areas.
The first step is learning which colours suit
you and which cuts of clothes suit your body
shape. The problem is we are all trying to get
a tailor-made fit from off-the-rack garments.
The secret to getting a great fit is to choose
garments that are designed for your body
shape.
This is based on your build, frame or
silhouette. There are three female body shapes,
Straight, Curve and Softened Curve, and each
has unique assets and problems areas and
comes in every size.
Straights go ‘straight up and down’ with no
waist or hips, but have great shoulders and
legs. They feel conscious of weight around the
tummy and upper hips (muffin top, spare tyre).
Kate Middleton and MP Paula Bennett are
Straights. They look great in ‘long lean’ clothing
that defines shoulders and legs and bypasses
the tummy, e.g. volume in top garments and
fitted in trousers and skirts.
Curves go ‘all-in-and-out’ and have beautiful
curvy waists and upper bodies and a totally

flat tummy (so are very rare). They feel
conscious of carrying weight on hips, bottom
and thighs. They suit fitted garments on top
that cinch in at the waist and suit lots of
volume in pants and skirts. Racquel Welch and
Jennifer Lopez are Curves.
Softened Curves have developed a little
tummy after having kids or getting older. They
have beautiful upper bodies (especially their
décolletage) and suit top garments that have
a wider open neckline and soft shaping at the
waist. They suit relaxed trousers and skirts
that hang straight but have a lot of fabric in
them e.g. ‘drape not cling’.
How important is colour and
what role does it play?
Colour is very important as colours that
suit you can make you look healthy and give
you a youthful glow, whereas colours that
don’t suit you can age you, making you look
dull or even unwell.
Your eye colour and current hair and skin
colour determine what types of colours will
suit you. The great news is that everyone
can wear every colour, as long as they wear
it in the clarity or strength that best suits
them – and you don’t need to carry around a
colour swatch to get a perfect match. I teach
clients this Clarity Based system to help them
use colour combinations to elongate their
silhouette and make them look taller and
slimmer.

colours at the light-reflecting end of the
spectrum. (Bright and Light-Bright). The other

Incapacity & the elderly Trustee
As a nation, our population is ageing.
Alongside this is an increase in the number of
people who can no longer continue to manage
their own affairs due to mental incapacity.
Where the incapacitated person is the Trustee
of a family or discretionary trust that can
make the administration of the trust, all but
impossible.
As most trust deeds require that Trustees
act unanimously, if one Trustee is incapacitated,
and therefore unable to act or participate in
decision making, it will leave the remaining
Trustees, and the Trust itself, in limbo until
such time as that incapacitated Trustee has
been removed.
The removal of an incapacitated trustee can
be effected by:
1. Using the Trust Deed
Where there is a specific power of
appointment held by someone who is alive,
and who is not the incapacitated Trustee,
they can use that power to remove a Trustee,
whether that Trustee is incapacitated or not.
This may require having a difficult conversation
with an ageing Trustee but will save all parties
anxiety, time and money.
2. Section 43 of the Trustee Act 1956
If the Trust Deed is silent as to who
holds the power of appointment, or the
incapacitated Trustee is the Trustee with the
power of appointment, s 43 can be used to
remove the incapacitated Trustee but only
where that Trustee is being replaced by a new
Trustee.
3. Section 51 of the Trustee Act
The Court can, under s 51, exercise its
power to remove an incapacitated Trustee
but only when it is “inexpedient, difficult or
impractical to do so without the assistance
of the Court …” 1 and, as with s 43 above,
only where the incapacitated Trustee is being
replaced.
The Courts also have an inherent
jurisdiction to remove an incapacitated
trustee if the Court is satisfied that it is in the
interests of the beneficiaries and where “…
the continuance of the Trustee would prevent
the trusts being properly executed …” 2
Transferring the Trust Property
Once the incapacitated Trustee has been
removed, any real property owned by the
trust will need to be transferred into the
names of the new Trustees.
An Enduring Power of Attorney in relation
to Property (EPA Property) cannot be used
for this purpose, as this document deals with
personal property and does not extend to
property owned as a Trustee.
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has
confirmed that an Attorney appointed under
an EPA Property cannot sign an Authority &
Instruction Form for an incapacitated Trustee.
That being the case, an application to the
High Court will need to be made for a Vesting
Order, under s 52 of the Trustee Act 1956, to
vest the trust property in the names of the
new Trustees.
As Trustees get older, regular meetings of
the Trustees will be critical for the on-going
management of the Trust. At Harmans we
have experience in dealing with trust law and
estate planning and can help you to ensure
your Trust operates as it should. Give Fleur
McDonald a call on 03 352 2293 to arrange an
appointment to discuss your situation.

It’s important to get your colours rechecked
at least every six to seven years as we all
lose colour in our skin and hair as we age.
The clarity you suit will also change when
you change your hair colour, so get checked
anytime you have a drastic change.
What are the staples that form
the basis of a versatile and
stylish wardrobe?
There are several tricks of the trade for
turning a wardrobe full of separates into
stunning co-ordinated outfits. You can also use
these tricks for packing a small co-ordinated
travel wardrobe and as the basis of your
shopping list for effectively adding to your
current wardrobe this season.
1. The Base: a Base is an all-one-colour
look created by wearing a top and bottom in
the same colour and then adding a differentcoloured
outer layer and a necklace or scarf
that references both colours.
2. Bring Bottom Colour Up: when wearing
two contrasting colours e.g. light top with
dark bottom or dark top with light bottom
you will need to ‘bring the bottom colour up’
to create symmetry in your outfit. Simply
choose a necklace or scarf the same colour
as the bottom garment to bring the colour
up. Our eyes like symmetry and you will look
co-ordinated. This principle is particularly
important if adding a third or multiple
additional colours to an outfit.
3. Capsule Wardrobe Formula: 2+2+5=20
Two ‘suits’ e.g. an outer and bottom that work
together as if they were a suit + two necklaces
or scarves the same colour as the bottoms
of the ‘suits’ + five tops that work with all the
other items = 20 different outfits. Each top
has four outer layer combinations.
What about jewellery – is this a
matter of personal taste or are
larger, chunkier pieces not so
appropriate in this age group?
Accessories are the links that turn separates
into great outfits and are also a great way to
express your personality and personal style.
Which jewellery (earrings and necklaces),
scarf-tying techniques, glasses shapes, hair
style and necklines suit you is governed by
whether the natural shape of your inner facial
characteristics (eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheeks,
lips & chin) are more angular or more curved.
Inner facial characteristics often change as we
age, so get yours checked at least every seven
years.
When choosing jewellery also keep in mind
your personal style and scale.
Do you have any suggestions for
what to wear as the seasons
change from winter to spring?
Trans-seasonal dressing is an excellent
technique to use as the seasons change. Simply
layer merino under lighter-weight tops, e.g.
chiffon top with merino underneath and a
jacket or cardigan over the top. Alternatively,
you can use a lighter-weight top without an
under layer and use an outer layer that you
can remove if you need to.
Just remember, if your outfit is like a suit, but
the top you wear underneath and the pants
are contrasting colours on top and bottom,
add a necklace the same colour as the pants,
as that ties the top and bottom together
symmetrically and allows you to remove your
matching outer layer if you get too warm and
you will still have a co-ordinated outfit.

boasts the following: bowls events, concert
going (Operatunity), shopping trips, lunch
outings, yoga, housie, Qigong (Tai Chi), happy
hour, knitting, quiz nights, cards and games,
book club, Bible discussion, craft sessions, and
there are regular visits by the hairdresser
(weekly) and the podiatrist.
The residents enjoy an enviable resort-style
lifestyle. It is also surprisingly affordable. A
former Christchurch resident, Judith, says, “We
couldn’t have all this for what we are paying if
we were still in Christchurch.”
Another resident, David, says, “My wife and I
have never been so well off as we are now we
have moved to McKenzie Lifestyle Village.”

A new business built on skills & experience
Starting a new career or business after the age of
50 can be both exciting and daunting. Forward 50 talks
to educator Kate Brown about how she developed a
consultancy business where she could use her skills and
experience in a new and rewarding way.
What age were you when you decided
to leave teaching to start your
consultancy business?
I was 58.
What prompted you to make that change
after a long and successful career as
an educator?
I had been working overseas in International Schools
for 17 years and wanted to bring some of the best
practice in international education into New Zealand
schools.
What have been the greatest challenges
in starting and running your own
business and what are the rewards?
The challenges: drumming up business and staying
organised. I find I have to be very disciplined to organise
myself, having worked to bells for over 40 years.
The rewards: a great sense of pride in what I have
achieved, working with a variety of amazing New Zealand
educators in different settings, and being able to organise
my own time. When I wish to pick up my grandchildren
from school and kindy my current boss is always willing
to let me out early!
What is the main focus of your
consultancy?
My main focus is supporting schools to develop a
curriculum that is engaging for students, relevant to their
learning needs and with a focus on understandings not
memorisation. We have to educate our students for
their future not our past.
You have had considerable overseas
experience in education, so does that
help you in your business and if so, how?
For the last 14 years I have been working with the
International Baccalaureate Curriculum (IB), which is
concept-based and delivered through inquiry pedagogy.
I became a workshop leader for the IB, going round the
world leading professional development for teachers in IB
schools. I had also had several stints of working with the
IB to develop their curriculum, and with this experience,
and my understanding of the gains of a concept-based
curriculum for student learning, I began my mission to
support New Zealand schools to create the best possible
curriculum for their students.
What advice would you give anyone
considering starting a new business
after the age of 50?
Work hard and don’t falter at the setbacks – just class
it as experience and move on to the next opportunity.
Have faith in your own ability.
Go for it. Join a networking group – I joined Venus.
This not only gives you the support of other motivated
business people with networking opportunities, but also
provides workshops and education sessions on the nitty
gritty of how to get your business buzzing.
If there is something in your business you don’t like
doing (e.g. accounting), get someone else to do it. Don’t
waste your time and worry over something that is not
building your business. Enjoy the journey and constantly
remind yourself of how amazing you are.

With the recent release of the Ministry of
Health’s Healthy Ageing Strategy there is
an increased focus on living not just longer,
but also maintaining health and wellbeing by
creating opportunities in a range of areas for
older people.
While medical care and access to medical
services is an important part of the strategy,
the focus is also on developing communities,
encouraging active and connected lives and
preventative services.
However, adults aged 65 years and over are
more likely to be sedentary than those under
65 years. These activity rates decline even
more as adults aged 75 years and over are less
likely to be physically active than those under
75 years.
Older adults that are not active are missing
out on many of the benefits of being active,
and it’s not just about being able to live a full
life. There are very real benefits to all aspects
of life that sedentary older adults are missing
out on through their inactivity.
Any physical activity is better than none at all.
It can be as simple as aiming to sit less and
get out and about more, adding movement
into everyday tasks, as well as seeking
opportunities for more structured exercise.
Many exercise facilities, recreation centres and
pools offer classes and sessions that are most
suitable for the older exerciser.
While exercising can be added to regular
tasks, the advantages of getting involved with a
facility or group are many, including being able
to access expert advice. As well, it has been
proven that spending time with others adds to
our sense of wellbeing.
The Healthy Ageing Strategy vision is that
Exercising as we age
has many benefits
“older people live well, age well, and have
a respectful end of life in age-friendly
communities”; it seeks to maximise health and
wellbeing for all older people.
Getting involved in several physical activities
is best, allowing variety and benefits across
a range of activity areas. Anything that gets
your heart rate up and makes your breathing
heavier will have a positive effect on aerobic
levels and heart health. Balance exercises will
help prevent falls, and strength exercises can
assist with maintaining posture and help with
daily tasks.
If you are a senior and new to exercising, it
is wise to start off slowly. Do speak to your
doctor before starting or increasing physical
activity. They are likely to be supportive of
your increased activity, and can offer advice on
making sure any medical conditions or injuries
are managed.
The Ministry of Health suggests older adults
do 30 minutes of moderate physical activity
on five days or more per week. They have
several resources available on their website to
help you on your way to physical activity as an
older adult.

BY ROSS KIDDIE
I HAD to think hard trying to remember the
last time I picked up a manual evaluation car.
It was six months ago and that wasn’t even a
car as such, but Toyota’s Land Cruiser 70 light
truck.
The latest manual to come my way was
from an unexpected source – Kia’s new Rio.
However, amongst the four variations it’s only
the entry-level model that has the manual
option. Prices start at $22,490 for the LX as
tested, automatic transmission adds $1000,
while an EX variant sits at $25,490 and the
range-topping Ltd is listed at $26,990.
These are budget prices for what would be
deemed a well-made desirable, small hatchback.
When I say small, it would be noted that the
new Rio is longer and wider than the model
it replaces, but it is just a fraction lower. The
latter makes no appreciable difference to entry
and exit, it is still an easy car to access and it is
better for its new proportions.
The Rio can’t really be considered a fiveseater;
there are three seat belts in the rear
but it is tight back there, although head and leg
room are plentiful.
In terms of styling, the newcomer shares
many of the similarities for which we know
the model, it’s not flashy but it is far from
conservative and is easily a strong contender in
the five-door hatchback market.
Up front sits a 1.4-litre engine, regular
readers will recall my recent Hyundai i20 Cross
evaluation, the Rio shares the same driveline
and it stands out for its willing nature and quiet
operating manner.
Not surprisingly, it feels a little different
paired with a manual but the result is still
satisfactory performance. The engine is rated
with a 74kW power output along with 133Nm
of torque, both outputs realised just a little
lower than previously, 6000rpm and 4000rpm
respectively. Although those figures are still
high, in manual form, the engine pulls from low
revolutions.
The gearbox, too, is a beauty, the shifts
are clean and precise and the gearing is well
matched to the power outputs. There are also
fuel economy benefits to be gleaned from the
way the engine and transmission are matched,
that taking into account the engine is a bit
busier at highway speed than I was expecting,
turning over at 2400rpm at 100km/h. That
aside, there is still an instantaneous fuel usage
reading of just 5l/100km (56mpg). I made an
early reset of the trip computer and during my
time with the test car it never consumed more
than a 7l/100km (40mpg) average which sits
well with Kia’s claim f 5.6l/100km (50mpg).
I took the test car on my normal scenic
highway route. The Rio cruises the open road
quietly and has solid road presence. When it
comes time to tackle the odd corner or two
it has deliberate steering and nice chassis
balance, that taking into account the rear
suspension has limited movement due to the
use of a cross beam tube axle, which doesn’t
offer the freedom of a fully independent type.
Nevertheless, the spring and damper rates have
been worked out intelligently, there is just the
right amount of firmness needed to arrest body
movement along with the compliance needed
for comfort.
Interestingly, the Kumho tyres are smallish
in stature at 185/65 x 17in, and they are a low
rolling resistance type, which help promote
realistic fuel usage figures. They are also
quiet-riding and don’t complain about New
Zealand’s course chip seal. They also provide
secure feedback to the steering wheel and are
directional when presented with a quick corner.
There are a plethora of small cars landing
in the global market at the moment, especially
those from Korea. The interesting thing to note
is that many of them are now arriving in hybrid
form and I’ll be evaluating several in the next
few months.
For those who like the traditional, the Rio is
there to please. I’m not sure how many manual
units will be sold, New Zealanders just like
their autos way too much, and with only $1000
difference the automatic is by far the most
tempting proposition.
However, Kia here must be confident it can
sell the stick-shift in enough numbers to justify
its inclusion in the line-up. If I was a Rio buyer it
would be the one for me.

Nickie Wellbourn as Sister Mary Lazarus
Scene from Sister Act
The latest production from Christchurch theatre company Showbiz
Christchurch demonstrates that, while many of today’s popular shows
feature a young cast, there are still opportunities for the more mature
singers, actors and dancers to perform on stage.
Sister Act – A Divine Musical Comedy is the company’s final production
for the 2017 season, and as marketing manager Wendy Riley explains,
the story requires a number of the cast members to be in the older
age group.
One of the principal nuns, Sister Mary Lazarus, is being played by longtime
Showbiz member Nickie Wellbourn. Nickie has been involved in
theatre for over 30 years, and played her first role for Showbiz in their
1987 production of Chicago. She describes Sister Act as a “blessing in
disguise”, and says that while many stage productions feature young
actors and dancers, this one calls for a more “worldly-wise” cast,
and even though it is a role that requires some physical effort, she is
thoroughly enjoying it.
“It’s great being with the same age group and catching up with people
and being all together. I’m looking forward to opening night.”
For productions when she is not on stage, Nickie is involved in much
of the backstage work, including makeup. Like many of the Showbiz
company members, she has a full-time job, but outside work she is
“fully immersed” in theatre activities, including being artistic director
for a corporate entertainment organisation. She has also been part of
the Canterbury Children’s Theatre and other theatre groups.
Wardrobe manager for Showbiz Diane Brodie QSM has been involved
with the company since 1973. She is responsible for keeping all the
company’s costumes in tip-top condition and organising fittings for
every production, a role she calls a “lifetime vocation”.
“I enjoy the creativity involved, the contact with people and the
general excitement of being caught up in the productions, but it’s very
challenging too.”
Diane says Sister Act is “one of the most enjoyable shows” she’s been
involved with.
“It’s great fun. It’s a joyous show, and that rubs off on the whole
production. I’m enjoying being part of it. It’s also an opportunity for
some of the company members, who are not suitable for some other
shows, to perform.”
Both Nickie and Diane say there is no age limit to being part of a
theatrical company like Showbiz, whether on stage or behind the
scenes.
“People don’t realise that for any show there is a whole production
team back stage. And I appreciate that, because I couldn’t do what I do
without them,” Nickie says.
And as Diane points out, “Showbiz has opportunities for all age groups.
There is no age limit, and we have a large team of volunteers and
helpers.”
Wendy Riley says many Showbiz members juggle careers with their
voluntary theatre activities, finding the time to rehearse and perform in
the evenings and weekends.
“It’s a big commitment – for rehearsals and during the season.”
The Showbiz team is “like a big extended family, and a lot of joy comes
out of it”, Wendy says.
About Sister Act - A Divine Musical Comedy
The story follows the exploits of 1970s wannabe disco diva Deloris Van
Cartier as she escapes from her gangster boyfriend. Having witnessed
him commit a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place
the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent!
Disguised as a nun, Deloris finds herself at odds with the rigid lifestyle
of the nuns and their uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique
disco moves and singing talent, she inspires the nuns to create a more
contemporary choir and they become the hit of the community. Word
of their success reaches her ex-boyfriend Curtis, who arrives with his
gang to settle the score with Deloris.
The Showbiz Christchurch production of Sister Act – A Divine Musical
Comedy will be presented at the Isaac Theatre Royal from September
8-23.

Research shows health and social
benefits of arts participation
Research conducted in the UK provides
evidence that participating in the arts improves
quality of life, aids recovery from illness and
saves money across the health and social
services, says executive director of Arts Access
Aotearoa Richard Benge.
“This is research that applies equally to New
Zealand, and can help us meet some of the
very real challenges facing our health and social
services,” he says.
“Challenges such as our ageing population
and the increase in people experiencing mental
illness and distress.”
Creative Health: the arts for health and
wellbeing is a 190-page report based on
research commissioned by an All-Party
Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and
Wellbeing in the UK. Research over two
years included hundreds of interviews and
dozens of case studies with patients, medical
and social work professionals, artists and arts
administrators, academics, policy-makers and
politicians.
A 2014 Creative New Zealand survey shows
nearly 90 per cent of New Zealanders think
the arts are good for us and more than 80 per
cent think the arts help improve society.
Providing access to artistic
expression
In towns and cities throughout New Zealand,
there are community-based art hubs – “creative
spaces” – providing people with access to
artistic expression (visual art, dance, drama,
music making) in supportive and empowering
settings.
Many of these spaces cater for mental health
service users, people with intellectual or
physical disabilities, or young people. Others
are open to everyone and attract a crosssection
of the community.
Unfortunately, most of these creative spaces
in New Zealand are underfunded and underresourced,
Mr Benge says.
“This UK research is an opportunity for local
and central government to recognise the role
of creative spaces in our communities, fund
them adequately, and enable them to continue
using creativity to address the demands on our
health and social services.”
Pablos Art Studios in Wellington, for example,
provides free access to an art studio, materials
and tutor support. The recipient of the Arts
Access Holdsworth Creative Space Award
2017, it has supported thousands of people
who have experienced mental ill-health or
become socially isolated.
Director of Pablos, Deidre Dahlberg, says
people whose self-esteem and sense of
connection have been damaged often require
a bridge between the health system and their
family, friends and the wider community.
“Pablos provides that bridge,” she says.
“People can use creativity as a means to
get back out into the world, whether they
SPECIAL PRICE
have burnt out, gone through depression
or are living on the street. People can leave
their troubles at the door and rebuild their
confidence and resilience through creative
work and overcoming creative challenges.”

people who have experienced stroke. Its
director, Diana McPherson, says that hospitals
deal with healing the body but when people
who have had a stroke go back to their
community, they are not equipped to deal with
the emotional and psychological impact.
“The programme has been running for seven
years and we’ve worked with more than 100
people in that time,” Ms McPherson says.
“We’ve seen significant improvements in
their confidence and ability to adjust and fit
back into their changed lives.”

I have a wisteria vine that for 36 years did not fl ower, I have great patience. Last year I
QUESTION
had fl owers on it and I was thrilled. However, all the vines have taken over and I need
to do something with them, so could you please tell me what I should do.
ANSWER
Today’s winning question came from Myra Barry.
Firstly we must acknowledge your patience, 36 years is an amazing amount of time to
wait for fl owers! It’s good to hear you have fi nally seen some on the plant. The secret
to a vigorous fl owering wisteria is to promote the older fl owering wood. You can do this by removing the bulk
of the smaller (less than pencil width) growth that appears all over the wisteria bush every growing season -
particularly at the base of the plant. If you want well balanced fl owering, you will need to train a number of main
leaders (shoots) in the direction you want them to grow. These should be attached fi rmly to a house, fence or
structure to support them. Shorten back the growth appearing from these main leaders to approximately 20cm
at the end of the growing season. As the climbers mature, black buds will appear on these lateral growths
which are an indication of your fl owers forming. During the summer growth period, regularly remove long, thin
tangling growth to encourage the plant to put its energy into fl owers instead of foliage. After fl owering at the
end of the season, remove old fl ower heads and allow the main leaders to grow and extend where required.
If you have soil that is poor nutritionally or is dry, it’s a good idea to mulch around your wisteria plant with
Daltons Compost, and add a layer of Daltons Garden Mulch & Grow on top.

Use secateurs to keep your plants in shape
• By Mark Rayner
Whether it’s a ‘living sculpture’
of topiary or a space-saving
espaliered fruit tree, there
are a number of ways we can
deliberately shape plants to
achieve a certain effect or
yield maximum results in the
minimum space. Here are some
of the basics.
TIP TOP TOPIARY
Most of us are familiar with
tightly clipped shrubs carefully
sculpted into geometric (and
sometimes more fanciful) forms.
The secret to successful small
topiary is to use fine-leaved
evergreen plants with sturdy
stems to maintain the form,
carefully trimming to shape with
secateurs or sometimes shears.
STANDARDS
A standardised tree or shrub
consists of a single stem or trunk
with a ‘head’ of growth at the
top. This is either achieved by
continuously removing any side
branches as the plant develops or
grafting the head onto an existing
trunk (this is usually done at the
nursery with the resulting plant
sold as a standard).
Standardised plants are useful
where space is limited or to
introduce a more sculptural
element to a planting scheme.
With grafted standards, however,
special care must be taken to
remove any side shoots to prevent
the plant from reverting.
ESPALIERING
Used most effectively for growing
fruit (often apples or pears) in
a small space, the technique of
espaliering involves training
branches horizontally along
a support (usually a fence or
wall), tying back as each branch
grows and carefully pruning any
wayward shoots.
TRIM: Care must be taken with side shoots.

120th Anniversary
The City of Christchurch has long been
recognised as the Garden City, both locally
and internationally for many years, but
would you believe that the term was first
coined as long ago as 1907, by the Special
Commissioner of the NZ International
Exhibition in his speech closing the
exhibition.
In 1914, the Mayor of Christchurch
emphasised that the CBA should continue
its work until there was no doubt of
Christchurch being a garden city.
In 1997, the City obtained the ultimate
award for its efforts by being named out
of 600 entries from cities with over 300K
population as the “Garden City of the
World” in a worldwide competition.
The following year the City won the
United Nations’, Environmental Section,
“Nations in Bloom”!
So where does the CBA fit into all of
this, and why did the City Mayor give this
Association the mandate to develop the city
into a “Garden City”?
Well let me explain!
Christchurch was developed during
the 1800’s and by the 1880’s the city was
expanding quickly but was dirty and
unkempt, there was little official control or coordination
and the ever-increasing industry
and services were having a detrimental
effect on the environment. While the City
Council Reserves Department and the
Domain’s Board had the responsibility for
the planning and maintaining the City
environment, their budget was very limited
and therefore managing the appearance of
the city was not one of their priorities.
However, things were about to change.
In the early 1890’s a gardener, William
Wickens, was employed by the Reserves
Department to clean up many of the trees,
(mainly willows) planted to retain the river
banks, and plantings carried out by the early
settlers on their arrival in Christchurch.
In 1897, the CBA was formed and was one
of the first civic environmental associations
formed in NZ with it’s membership including
a number of leading citizens: Samuel Hurst
Seager, an architect of national significance,
Harry Ell, the local MP (his memorial is the
Summit Road), Albert Kaye, a prominent
businessman and Leonard Cockayne, who
became NZ’s pioneer botanist.
The Association was also one of the first
conservationists in NZ. It is largely due to
their enterprise and support that remnants
of the native Bush at Riccarton, Arthurs Pass
and the Port Hills became public reserves. It
also promoted the conservation of historic
buildings including the preservation of the
Provincial Council Building.
The Association’s earliest objective was
to beautify the City’s reserves and develop
much of the work and leisure areas in an
environment of trees. One of their first
tasks was to plant a display of petunias
along the banks of the Avon. The following
year the beds were replaced with daffodils
and primroses. 3000 Japanese irises along
with Banksia roses and Clematis were
planted on the riverbanks and the wooden
bridges festooned with Virginia Creeper.
Enhancement of the riverbanks continues to
be an important aspect of the Association to
this day.
Planning to improve ‘Market” Square
(now Victoria Square) which at the time
was a shingle pit, in preparation for Queen
Victoria’s 1897 Jubilee celebrations was
also an early initiative as was the extensive
planting of trees and shrubs along the river
and central reserves during the first year.
1889 saw the riverbank planted along
part of Cambridge Terrace (now known
as Poplar Terrace). Copious planting of
natives took place – Matipo, Totara, Kowhai,
Ribbonwoods, Cabbage trees and Toi Toi.
Many plants were supplied by Association
members who transplanted specimens from
their own private gardens.
In 1907, as a result of a bequest from
Hon J. T. Peacock, the association decided
that an iron fountain, prefabricated at
Coalbrookdale Iron works in Shropshire,
England would be purchased. It was
finally purchased and assembled in 1911
being initially placed on the site where the
McDougall Gallery was to be built and
once this was commenced the fountain was
moved to the east end of the then Archery
Lawn.
Over the years, it became unreliable and
expensive to maintain and so was removed in
1949 and placed in storage. In 1993 the CBA
along with support from the Christchurch
Historic Places Trust, restored the fountain
and erected it at the Rolleston Avenue
entrance to the Botanical Gardens. Mayor
Vickie Buck presided over its reinstatement
in June 1996. It continues to play to this day.
In the early 1900’s it became noticeable
that the Avon River was becoming very
dirty, overgrown with weeds and mud banks
appearing at times of low water flow. In 1933,
plans were drawn up for a weir to be built
near the tea kiosk in the Botanical Gardens.
The aim was to beautify the river by making
a series of placid pools. While bureaucracy
caused a number of difficulties and delays,
agreement was reached to place a weir below
the Antigua Boatsheds. The weir was finally
built in 1939 and was primarily funded by
the Association.
Examples of other key initiatives
promoted and sponsored by the Association
include the introduction of underground
telephone and power cables, the placement
of the Nurses’ home and the Victoria Jubilee
clock, the beautification of the suburbs,
the enhancement of school gardens and
cemeteries including the introduction
of Lawn cemeteries, the enhancement of
the city gateways and the development of
Memorial Ave.
In 1952, as a result of a donation from
the Calder MacKay family (proprietors of
Calder MacKay Department store), a large
floral clock was built and installed north
of the Victoria Street Bridge near the law
courts. It is currently awaiting restoration
as part of the earthquake repairs to Victoria
Square.
Exactly 100 years following the first
meeting of the Association, the Governor
General of New Zealand, Sir Michael Hardie
– Boys, presided over the ceremony to install
a large waterwheel at Mill Island in the Avon
River. Work on organising the wheel had
commenced in 1991 and it took a substantial
effort on the part of the Association and
their dedicated team to reach completion.
This project acknowledged the work of their
founding members and the generations of
citizens who work and support the Garden
City.
The Association carries out the planting
of daffodils in Hagley Park each year and to
date we have planted over 90 thousand bulbs
in the park. We also carry out plantings and
other projects in various parts of the city.
Home garden competitions were
introduced in 1898 and in 1950 Street
Competitions came into being. Today these
continue to be popular, as do the bus tours
following the completion of judging. This
year the CBA team assessed and judged over
4000 streets and their gardens as a part of the
“Community Pride” partnership with the
Christchurch City Council and Community
Boards.
This year as part of the Association’s 120th
year celebrations we initiated a project to
encourage and support the development
of a Garden Village concept in keeping
with “Christchurch the Garden City”. This
includes existing and new social housing
and other housing developments as they are
developed.
To reinforce the idea the Association are
currently working with G. J. Gardners Ltd,
NZ’s largest home building company, to
have a 60 home, over 50’s village, in a West
Christchurch suburb. A high standard of
garden design and maintenance is one of the
conditions of ownership of the individually
owned homes in the village.
In June of this year, the Association
went before the Social and Community

The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
Thursday August 31 2017 39
association
Development Committee of the
Christchurch City Council and presented
our case for the “Garden Village concept”
to be introduced as part of the City’s
culture and to promote the Garden City
image. Submissions included the need to
have a significant monument celebrating
the “World’s Best Garden City” awarded to
Chch in 1996 and Nations in Bloom Award
in 1997. The committee has requested a
report in relation to the concept, including
information on how to develop garden plans
for the Council’s social housing complexes,
and potential partners for future park
developments becoming living villages. In
due course council staff will present a report
to the Committee for its consideration.
Why are these gardening and beautifying
activities popular with the people of
Christchurch?
Many individuals landscape and develop
their gardens to ensure the practical
needs of the garden are satisfied, it also
provides the obvious satisfaction of
personal achievement. Some
find immense satisfaction in
the creation of a garden filled
with a kaleidoscope of colour,
others in the production of a host
of elegantly formed plants that can
grace the home or be cut for the delight of
friends. Moreover, some enter into the rare
pleasures of exhibition culture and those
who do, have a persistence and willingness
to do better each succeeding year. All this
carries its own special reward – that of
comradeship and a feeling of belonging, a
golden thread of friendship that winds itself
inextricably through the whole pattern of
activities and the community.
The Association is in itself an all pervading
interest, whatever the season there is
something to do, whether it is tending the
plants at home or on public areas, talking
to kindred spirits at a show or meeting,
avidly studying the process of growing and
evolution, coaching and training, learning
to be a judge, or as an onlooker providing
support to the organisation.
The Association has a long and colourful
history and the people of Christchurch may
well salute the vision and achievements of
this remarkable organisation. Its members
devoted efforts have made significant
contribution to making Christchurch “The
Garden City” a beautiful and interesting
place for both locals and international
visitors.

NZ Under-15 Secondary School’s Rugby Tournament
September 4th - 8th 2017, Wellington
The St Bede’s College Under-15 rugby side is about to measure
itself against the country’s best. The 23-strong squad will travel
up to Wellington for the 2017 New Zealand Under-15 secondary
school’s rugby tournament, an invitational event which St Bede’s
College hosted in 2010.
St Bede’s is a relative newcomer to the tournament compared to
many schools, having only taken part for the last ten years. This
year’s squad is eager to replicate the heroics of their predecessors
in 2013, 2015 and 2016 where St Bede’s finished second, third
and sixth respectively. Their coaches, Matt Malone and Nick Ryan,
are enthused about the possibilities and opportunities for the
upcoming tournament.
“In terms of going and competing against other top rugby schools
from across New Zealand, this provides a fantastic opportunity
for our boys to take a yardstick on how they are performing and
preparing themselves for future rugby,” Ryan says.
The tournament schedules six games in five days, so teams will
face short turnaround of matches, player attrition, and the need
for a full squad to be involved so that all players are ready to play
and to play well.
Our emphasis this year, as it has been in previous years, is about
going up there and performing to our full potential. We want to
make sure that our boys have an experience and the opportunity
to develop as both young men and as rugby players,” Malone says.
Team manager Robert de Roo says the support from sponsors and
parents has been overwhelming.
“The logistics and the cost of getting to each tournament is
always particularly challenging, which is why their support of
young people endeavouring to achieve to the best of their ability is
pretty special. Without them it would be very difficult,” he says.
“The parents in particular have been awesome in terms of
supporting the team throughout our local season as well as
getting right behind the numerous fundraising initiatives for
tournament.”
Malone, Ryan and de Roo say they would like to thank the wider
school community, the St Bede’s Rugby Club and particularly the
parents for their support in fundraising for this trip.
The team has had a challenging season to date, with some mixed
results in the Under-15 grade. Their performances have improved
as the season has progressed and they are quietly confident that
all the preparation, challenges and hard work will pay off in the
coming weeks, undoubtedly great preparation for tournament.

Dunn claims foul play
• By Gordon Findlater
TOP HARNESS trainer Robert
Dunn suspects foul play was
involved when four horses in
his stable engaged at the Nelson
Winter Cup meeting in June
returned positive swabs for
caffeine.
Racing Integrity Unit general
manager Mike Godber confirmed
to The Star this week that
Dunn believes the horses were
nobbled.
“From Robert’s thinking, it
could be someone deliberately
doing something,” said Mr Godber.
Three of the positive tests were
directly from the Dunn stable,
while the fourth was from Craig
and Aimee Edmonds’ stable.
However, that horse was under
the care of the Dunn stable,
which took it to Nelson.
The RIU’s investigation into
CBHS zero in on first top four tournament in three years
• By Gordon Findlater
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
School will look to qualify for
their first national championship
since 2014 when they play
Southland Boys’ High on
Saturday.
The winner of the South Island
final in Invercargill will advance
to the top four tournament next
month.
The final is a rematch of last
year’s final which saw SBHS advance
to the top four. However,
CBHS took the honours 30-17
Robert Dunn
the positive swabs has been
under way for two months now
and is expected to be completed
in the next fortnight.
The Star has also learned the
people accused of the nobbling
claim are considering legal action.
Dunn did not return calls to
The Star. Mr Godber said the
RIU is following a number of
different factors as to why the
the last time the two met during
the pre-season.
“I’m not sure there’s a huge
amount we can take from that
game, other than the confidence
that we’ve played against and defeated
them before,” said CBHS
coach Danny Porte.
At the weekend, CBHS defeated
Timaru Boys’ High 18-10
in the UC Championship final.
Playing at first five-eighths,
CBHS’s Rico Syme stole the
show, pulling off two brilliant
chip-and-chases.
Mike Godber
horses produced positive swabs,
including Dunn’s belief that the
horses were nobbled.
“That’s the sort of stuff we
have to look at as well, and it
takes a bit of time, said Godber.
“When a horse is away from
home, it can be any sort of
reason. We went up and took
samples from the stables and the
area where the horses were in
Nelson for the couple of days.”
The big TBHS forward pack
tested CBHS but they will face a
very different challenge against
SBHS.
“From what I gather, they will
be quite similar to us. It’s their
backline that will pose the most
threats,” said Porte.
SBHS advanced to the South
Island final by recovering from a
12-point deficit to defeat Otago
Boys’ High School 29-27 in the
Highlanders regional final. The
game in Invercargill kicks off at
Les George Oval at 1pm.

MVP medal.
Mainland Football
is hopeful a member
of the Sumner family will be
on hand to present the medal
after the final between Ferrymead
Bays and Cashmere

February, Sumner passed away

“It’s going to be
special for players
having a chance
to win the medal,

The English Cup was first
played for in 1913 and is the

BENJI MARSHALL will return
to Wests Tigers next season – but
his younger brother’s NRL career
may burst into action against the
Warriors this weekend.
Jeremy Marshall-King has
been named on an extended
bench for the Tigers’ final-round
clash with the Warriors on
Sunday at Leichhardt Oval.
The talented 22-year-old
has been one of the few shining
lights for the Tigers reserve
grade side this season,
which finished last in the
NSW Cup.
Marshall-King, who was born
in New Zealand but moved to
Sydney at age 10 to live with his
brother, has been named in the
No 19 jersey.
He can play anywhere in the
attacking spine and will likely
provide cover if lock Elijah
Taylor succumbs to a rib injury,
given the regular backrower
has been named at No 9 and
there are no other hooking
options.
Regular hooker Matt
McIlwrick has been ruled out
through suspension.
Meanwhile, Marshall-King
could also come onto the
interchange if halfback Luke
Brooks fails to overcome a
hamstring injury which ruled
him out of last week’s loss to
North Queensland.
Marshall-King’s selection
comes a week after Bayley
Sironen – son of Tigers legend
Paul Sironen – made his debut
for the club.
The Warriors have named
an unchanged squad for their
clash with the Tigers.
Head coach Stephen Kearney
has retained the same starting
combination used in Sunday’s
heartbreaking 21-22 golden
point extra-time loss to
Manly.
The extended eight-man
bench is also unchanged ahead
of a weekend when the club’s
Intrust Super Premiership team
begins its finals campaign against
Penrith after finishing second in
the regular season.

Mazda’s CX-5
raises the bar
• By Ross Kiddie
YOU DON’T have to look
hard to see the quality of
product that has become
Mazda’s new CX-5. The
fit and finish, and trim
materials are nothing short
of high grade.
That sets the entire tone
for the new series, Mazda
has engineered its popular
mid-size SUV so that it
appeals both cosmetically
and mechanically.
The latest generation
CX-5 was launched in May
and it lands here in three
specification levels, with
three engine options and
choices of two or fourwheel-drive.
I’m scheduled
to drive a 2.2-litre diesel a
little later in the year, but
this evaluation focuses on
the GSX four-wheel-drive
model with a 2.5-litre petrol
engine. There is also a
2-litre petrol engine in the
line-up.
The evaluation car lands
here at $45,995, with the
range starting at $39,995
and ending at $57,495.
I’m a great believer in
low to mid-grade product,
often a buyer doesn’t want
or need all the bells and
whistles, but in saying that,
the CX-5 in GSX form is
far from bare bones. It gets
as standard leather-type
trim, keyless entry and
ignition, satellite navigation,
paddle-shift gear
selectors, head-up display
and dual zone climate
control, amidst other key
features.
I-Activesense, a suite of
safety technologies that
Mazda is building into
most of today’s product,
is fitted and it includes
G-Vectoring Control which
is the latest technology to
promote handling and ride
quality within the safety
structure.
The new CX-5 picks up
from where its predecessor
left off, it is the quintessential
family wagon that
competes squarely with
Honda’s CRV and Toyota’s
RAV 4, both formidable
opponents. However, the
CX-5 not only leaves other
manufacturers playing
catch-up in terms of specification,
it sets standards in
terms of ride quality, noise,
vibration and harshness,
economy and performance.
I’ve written many times
about Mazda’s SkyActive
technology, it’s a programme
that Mazda’s engineers
have developed to
MAZDA CX-5: High build quality.
make all of their models
efficient and effective. The
four-cylinder, petrol engine
in the GSX is rated with
a 140kW power output, it
also gets 251Nm of torque.
The characteristics of the
SkyActive engine are structured
so that mid-range
torque is utilised, it doesn’t
need to work hard to glean
performance and that has
a beneficial effect on fuel
usage.
• Price – Mazda CX-5
GSX, $45,995
• Dimensions – Length,
4550mm; width,
1840mm; height,
1675mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,
2488cc,
140kW, 251Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.9sec
• Fuel usage –
7.5l/100km
Mazda rates the 2488cc
unit with a 7.5-litre per
100km (38mpg) combined
cycle fuel usage average.
That sits well with the
8.8l/100km (32mpg) figure
constantly showing on the
trip computer readout during
my time with the evaluation
car, and the 6l/100km
(47mpg) instantaneous
figure showing at 100km/h
on the highway.
Drive is channelled
through a traditional sixspeed
automatic transmission.
There are no surprises
there, but for the fact it, too,
contributes to the quality
feel, the changes are smooth
and the ratios are structured
so that it offers premium
acceleration along with slow
engine speed on the highway
to maximise fuel use.
I intended to take the
evaluation car on my
usual highway loop –
Waddington, Hororata and
The Star
Dunsandel – but a storm
had settled over the east
coast and flooding in the
Selwyn River had closed
many roads. Even though
the road surfaces were
drenched, the CX-5 felt
solid and secure.
I stopped on the roadside
near Darfield to take some
notes without realising the
soft nature of the berm, the
car sank deep into mud.
Nevertheless, with gentle
application of the throttle I
could feel the four-wheeldrive
system proportion
drive to the corners most
likely to get grip. I wasn’t
concerned that I would be
stuck for the drive mechanicals
easily eased the vehicle
out of the mire.
The suspension is a fully
independent setup to
allow for the inclusion
of drive to the rear, there
is also long movement
which promotes a
compliant ride.
On that family trip to
the West Coast or on the
daily school drop-off, the
CX-5 constantly looks after
its occupants in the way we
have warmed to sport utility
vehicles.
Also, when you feel the
need for peppy acceleration
it’s nice to know there’s the
punch from that sizeable
engine on tap.
More importantly
though, the CX5 is all
about the everyday role
we put SUVs through, and
it delivers with the satisfaction
we have come to
expect from Mazda’s manufacturing
process.
I know I’m a little bit
biased, there’s a Mazda in
the Kiddie family and I
often marvel at its design
and integrity. Mazda has
thrown itself into a path
that even though it still sits
as a mainstream manufacturer,
its processes are bordering
on those which ply
the premium market.

Keeping safe
during open homes
There’s a lot to consider
when putting your home
on show during the selling
process. While you want your
property to look attractive to
potential buyers, you don’t
want them to advertise your
precious belongings to anyone
with ill intent. As in most
circumstances, a bit of common
sense goes a long way.
To start with, you should feel
completely confident about your
real estate agent. Licensed real
estate agents are bound by the
Code of Conduct, which means they
have a clear responsibility to safeguard
your property. If you have any concerns
about holding open homes, or having
viewings of your property, it’s important
to discuss these with the agent so you
can both feel comfortable. They can
advise you on any precautions to take as
part of preparing the property for sale.
When you’re getting ready to put
the property on the market, the
New Zealand Police National Crime
Prevention Centre recommends
checking with your insurance provider
so you know what your policy covers.
Make sure you have enough insurance
to cover any potential property damage,
or any valuables. Let trusted neighbours
know the dates of any upcoming open
homes or viewings, and ask them to
keep an eye out for anything unusual.
The Police also suggest that you store
any valuables well out of sight before
you hold your first open home, or make
the property available for viewing. The
most commonly stolen items include
money, jewellery, office equipment,
clothing, electronics, and firearms.

It can be helpful to make a checklist
to streamline the process and ensure
you don’t overlook anything. It’s a good
idea to hide your calendars – open
home viewers don’t need to know when
you plan to be away, or where you’re
planning to go. Put away family photos,
and lock away any passports, spare keys,
financial statements and credit cards.
Store any alcohol and prescription drugs
out of sight and preferably out of the
reach of children.
On the day of the open home, it is best
to wait at the property until the agent
arrives so you can officially pass the
security responsibility to them. Be sure
to walk the agent through the property
and orient them as needed. Ask them if
you can help them close up at the end of
the open home. Together you can check
the property, including any storage
areas and outside spaces. Double check
all the locks on windows and doors to
make sure they are secured as they were
before the viewing started.
Selling a home can be a stressful
process, so it makes sense to minimise
any hassles wherever possible. If you’ve
taken all the sensible precautions, you
shouldn’t need to worry about holding
an open home.

Seaside
Brunch
FANCY 'a side' of ocean view with your
brekkie? Well it's available on the menu at
the Pierview Restaurant.
Located upstairs in the New Brighton
Club, the Pierview Restaurant has always
been a popular destination for dining and
private functions. Offering uninterrupted
views of beach, pier and coastline, the
view is a stunning accompaniment to any
occasion.
Warmer weekends in Canterbury have
seen an increase in people enjoying the
beach side and to add to the seaside
attraction the Pierview is now open
Sundays from 10.30am to 2pm for
brunch.
Offering all the expected scrumptious
breakfast/brunch delights, the menu also
caters to children.
Apart from Sunday Brunch the
Pierview is open from 5.30pm Friday to
Sunday serving quality, yet very
affordable, a la carte dining.
The last Sunday of the month has
turned into a tradition with the Pierview’s
‘all you can eat’ Buffet. Priced at just $25
per person, tables fill fast on buffet
nights, so bookings are essential. And on
