Drugs, boozing splits residents
• By Gabrielle Stuart
TENANTS AT a social housing
complex are living in fear of
other residents, who they say
are menacing, have threatened
to shoot their pets, and party
almost every night.
Some have been recently
released from prison.
But the tenants say the
trust in charge has ignored
their concerns. The Ōtautahi
Community Housing Trust took
over management of the city
council’s 2300 social houses in
October last year.
Since then, residents at the
25-unit Pickering Courts social
housing complex in Bristol St, St
Albans, say prison parolees, drugaddicts
and drunks have been
moved into the complex. Police
are regularly called.
Resident Lynda McKenzie
distributed 1000 copies of a flyer
outlining their concerns around
the neighbourhood last month.
In a recording supplied to
The Star, two tenants make
threats.
“I’ve got my rifle back, bro
. . . their f***ing dog s**t, their
cat s**t, they gonna drop dead,
motherf***ers . . . I’ve got a gun
. . . if I see it around my f***ing
number they’re dead, shot f***ing
dead,” a male voice said on the
recording.
The recording was made by
a former tenant, who told The
Star he left the complex in April
because he and his wife were
afraid for their safety.
He said the trust promised
to investigate, but the tenants
were still allowed to live there.
Trust chief executive Cate
Kearney said yesterday said two
“substantial complaints” had
been made to the trust about
issues at the complex, and said
both had been investigated
thoroughly.

WHO IS Glenn Delaney?
The new Canterbury rugby
coach, of course. And on pages
13 and 14 reporter Bridget Rutherford
talks to him in our
regular Our People environment.
A former newspaper colleague
of mine Jimmy Doyle thought
Bridget did a pretty good job
profiling Razor Robertson a few
months ago.
Bridget was put on the case
again this week to profile Robertson’s
successor, and I’m sure
Doyley will agree she’s done
another top job.
Delaney had a close run thing
with the Ranfurly Shield against
Otago but in true Canterbury
style he was never that worried
the shield was going south. For
us Cantabrians it’s all about
planning and having a never say
die attitude.
Delaney has good rugby roots
– he cut his teeth for Linwood,
probably at Linfield Park, a complex
I helped raise money for as
a kid with runathons during my
not so stunning time in a green

So Doyley, I hope you enjoy

From blockbusters to city theatre
The Hobbit,

and now
Sister Act
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
DISCO-FEVER: The cast of Sister Act dressed in sparkling
costumes designed by Lesley Burkes-Harding.
FROM DESIGNING costumes
to fit Orlando Bloom to helping
create blockbuster film sets
– John Harding and Lesley
Burkes-Harding know how to
transform a show into a full
visual experience.
Audiences will get to see an
endless stream of costumes embedded
with sequins and neo-
Gothic style sets designed by
the Akaroa couple in Showbiz
Christchurch’s latest production
of Sister Act.
Hundreds of costumes were
designed by Burkes-Harding
for the show, while her husband
created the set which has toured
all over the country.
Between them, they have 65
years of experience working in
television, consortium productions
and major films including
Avatar, King Kong and The Lord
of the Rings.
While working on The Hobbit,
Burkes-Harding designed
the costumes for Bloom in his
role as the elf Legolas.
Like most of the productions
the couple have worked on, the
design for Sister Act has been a
large undertaking.
“It is always a big job . . . there
are many hundreds of sequin
fabrics that I bought for that
show,” Burkes-Harding said.
She said in theatre, costumes
need to be sturdy and well
designed to suit the different
people who wear them.
It is similar for Harding, who
said every set he designs needs
to be “elastic” to adapt to each
venue on which it is staged.
“One of the first things was
solving how to do multiple
scene changes, so I came up
with the idea of a double conveyor
belt,” he said.
Other key elements in the set
include the use of LED lighting

to recreate the “exquisite” quality
of the stained-glass church
windows, and a narthex that he
found in a recycling yard near
Rangiora, which came from
church rubble after the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
For the couple’s next project,
they will recreate the landing
of the first French settlers in
Akaroa as part of its three-day
French Festival.
“We can work together, we
work separately. It doesn’t really
matter, it is always fun,” Burkes-
Harding said.
In Brief
CATHEDRAL DECISION
The future of the Christ Church
Cathedral will be decided on
Saturday. The Anglican Diocese’s
synod will vote on three options
for the building’s future – restore
it, knock it down and build a new
Cathedral, or gift the building to the
Government. Funding to restore the
building is on the table, including
city council’s $10 million pledge,
a $10 million Crown injection, a
$13.7 million pledge from the Great
Christchurch Buildings Trust and a
$15 million Government loan that
would not have to be paid back if
certain conditions are met.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE HIRE
An electric car sharing scheme
launched yesterday aims to
eventually make 100 cars available
at 10 hubs around the city. Twelve
Christchurch businesses, including
the city council and Environment
Canterbury, will be part of the
scheme, implemented by vehicle
management company, Yoogo.
The public will be able to hire an
electric vehicle from November at
three hubs around the city. •Lianne
Dalziel’s column, page 28
BETTER REDCLIFFS TOILETS
The lack of public toilets in
Redcliffs village is in the spotlight.
The Linwood-Coastal-Burwood
Community Board has asked city
council staff to investigate after
concerns from businesses about
the public using their facilities. The
original toilet block in the park
close to Main Rd was damaged in
the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
NEW BUSINESS MANAGER
Paul Lonsdale has taken on the
role as the Central City Business
Association manager. The role is
a part time position which will
still allow Mr Lonsdale to be New
Brighton Business and Landowners
Association manager.
ARTISTIC: John Harding was a costume designer on James Cameron’s blockbuster film Avatar. Lesley Burkes-Harding
designed costumes for actor Orlando Bloom in his role as Legalos in The Hobbit films.
RAIL FREIGHT RUNNING
The first freight services to run
again on the rail line between
Picton and Christchurch will begin
on September 15, 10 months after
the Kaikoura earthquake, KiwiRail
chief executive Peter Reidy said.

Anger leads to war at suburban
• By Gabrielle Stuart
A “LITTLE community of
misfits” – that’s how the residents
at St Albans’ Pickering Courts
social housing block describe
themselves.
The 25 units are tucked away
down a long driveway on Bristol
St, surrounded by fashionable
homes and leafy yards. If you
didn’t know it was there, you
wouldn’t find it.
For years, the Pickering Courts
residents have lived there just as
unobtrusively.
They created a garden in their
courtyard, held regular barbecues,
and even started their own
service awards, given to residents
like the elderly man who put out
everyone’s bins.
But that changed last year after
the Ōtautahi Community Housing
Trust took over management.
They now say they’re at war.
In the past year, several people
paroled from prison have been
moved in.
The other residents say the
newcomers drink and party
almost every night. Some say
they have been threatened, and
most say they no longer feel safe
at night.
ANGRY: Pickering Courts residents Lee Taylor, Dawn Sutherly and Margaret Ashby.
(Right) – Lynda McKenzie has delivered flyers outlining safety fears at the complex.
In the past few months, the
police have been called multiple
times to the units.
Last week two non-resident
males were seen wandering the
complex in their underwear.
Two weeks ago, a row of units
were vandalised with spray
paint.
One older resident had his garden
hose cut up into little pieces.
He had a history with the other
residents: Initially, he hadn’t got
along with them, but he had begun
helping out by watering the public
garden and had become a “pillar of
the community”, they said. Having
his hose cut up was something
they all took personally.
Resident Lynda McKenzie was
the first who decided to fight back.
She has lived in the block for
about 10 years and took great
pride in her little unit, which
smelled of lavender, had ivy
growing over the balcony, and
was decorated with floral wallpaper
and fairy ornaments.
She took even more pride in
the community, planting trees
there, maintaining the garden,
and organising events for the
residents.
The change made her furious.
“I don’t think I’ll ever forgive the
trust for destroying this,” she said.
She said she had contacted the
trust many times to talk about
the problems, but believed she
was being ignored.
So she wrote and printed 1000
copies of a flyer to drop at homes
around the neighbourhood last
month.
Written in bold, the headline
was: “Do you want a ghetto in
the bottom of your garden?”
“It appears the tenant of choice
of the trust is male, parolee, with
a drug/alcohol addiction,” the
flyer read.
“We no longer feel safe. We’ve
been threatened, our pets
have been threatened, and our
gardens and homes have been
vandalised. Anything not nailed
down is stolen,” it continued.
“Are you and your family safe?
Are your pets at risk? Is your
property safe and will this virtual
change of purpose of Pickering
Courts affect the VALUE of
your property?”
It finished by listing the contact
numbers of the trust chief
executive Cate Kearney, and city
councillor Vicki Buck, who is
one of the trustees.
That got a reaction from the
trust.

housing complex
On Friday, several cars pulled
up at the courts, and an “army”
of people from the trust got out –
at least eight, Ms McKenzie said.
She watched through her
windows as they dropped off
letters to each of her neighbours,
skipping her house.
When they left, one of
her neighbours gave her a
copy.
The trust was aware
that a letter had been
circulated “making allegations”
about the tenants
at Pickering Courts, the
letter said.
“Our investigations into
allegations made in the
letter have shown there is no substance
behind the issues raised,”
it read.
But several of her neighbours
have backed her up.
Tipora Grennell said he had
called the trust many times to
report problems, but said they
never called him back.
Kate Millan said she had
moved to the complex at a difficult
time in her life two years
ago, and the other residents had
really helped her.
But she said the relationships
had turned “ugly” in the past
year. She said she was often verbally
abused by other tenants and
her garden tools had been stolen,
and she was left feeling helpless to
do anything about it.
“We really are frightened to say
anything,” she said.
A former resident, who did
not want to be named,
moved out in April because
of the problems,
after less than a year in
the complex.
He said he made a
recording in February
of two of the tenants
threatening to kill other
residents’ animals.
He called the police
that night, and said they arrived
with police dogs but did not
make any arrests.
On the recording he made, two
men can be heard talking:
“I’ve got my rifle back, bro
… their f***ing dog s**t, their
cat s**t, they gonna drop dead,
motherf***ers . . . I’ve got a gun . . .
if I see it around my f***ing number
they’re dead, shot f***ing dead.”
By April it had reached the
point where he was afraid to let
his wife walk alone across the
driveway to her car, he said.
“We had a guy walking around
Tipora Grennell

Corner Suite
the complex shouting at the top
of his lungs, pointing his fingers
at the apartments, acting like he
was shooting people,” he said.
He said he intervened several
times, including once when one
of the tenants had fallen on glass
and cut his face open.
“He was lying there with glass in
his face, inebriated and bleeding
like crazy. I’m up there trying to
keep him settled, with the rest of
his drunken friends trying to help
but getting in the way,” he said.
He called the police at least
six times while living there, and
complained many times to the
trust, he said.
Trust chief executive Cate
Kearney said yesterday she could
not discuss the specific incidents,
because it could compromise the
privacy of tenants.
But she said two “substantial
complaints” had been made to the
trust about issues at the complex,
and said both had been investigated
thoroughly.
She said the trust did not have
any contract with Department of
Corrections to place parolees.
She said the Pickering Courts
tenancy manager visited regularly.
“Over the past week, because
we were made aware of tenant

tenants.

communications, we have attempted
to visit every single tenant
within Pickering Court and
during those visits we received no
significant complaints,” she said.
Lee Taylor, one of the residents
the others described as a troublemaker,
was home when The Star
visited.
He admitted he had been in
trouble with police, saying they
had given him a pair of “silver
bracelets” a few weeks ago.
But one of his neighbours,
80-year-old Dawn Sutherly, stood
up for him staunchly.
“Lee’s my right-hand man,” she
said affectionately.
She had lived at Pickering
Courts for 20 years.
“When I first moved here it was
lovely. All you had to do was call
and someone would give you a
hand,” she said.
That had changed when the
new residents arrived, she said.
Another of their neighbours,
Margaret Ashby, made her way
slowly down the path to see
them. Lee gently took her arm
and helped her across the uneven
grass so she could sit in the sunshine
with them.
Hers was one of the houses
which was vandalised, which had
upset her.
But she was more upset by the
fact her neighbours were fighting,
she said.
“It shouldn’t be like this. We
should be living in peace and
harmony,” she said.

Ailing Anderton honoured
• By Bridget Rutherford
AN AILING Jim Anderton was
presented with an insignia for his
services to Parliament at a special
investiture ceremony on Sunday.
The long-standing politician
was awarded the insignia of a
Companion of the New Zealand
Order of Merit by Governor-
General Dame Patsy Reddy, after
being named on the Queen’s
Birthday Honours List in June.
A small group of family and
friends, former prime minister
and Labour Party leader Helen
Clark, and Mayor Lianne Dalziel,
were at the ceremony.
Mr Anderton, 79, is frail and
was in a wheelchair at the ceremony.
It was held at Nazareth
House, where he is now living.
Since the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, Mr Anderton and
former National MP Philip
Burdon have been campaigning
for the restoration of the Christ
Church Cathedral.
The Anglican Diocese’s synod
will vote on the Cathedral’s
future on Saturday.
Mr Burdon said Mr Anderton
was “particularly frail” due to
old age.
“He was really very frail and
there was no way he could go to

Wellington for the ceremony,”
Mr Burdon said.
“It was a very nice and moving
ceremony for someone the community
has great respect for.”
Ms Clark said it was a privilege
to be at the ceremony and she
could not think of a more deserving
recipient.
“Jim’s contribution to New
Zealand has been massive for
decades.”
Mr Anderton was MP for
Sydenham, now Wigram, from
1984 to 2011.
The seat is now held by his
hand-picked successor Labour
MP Megan Woods.
Dr Woods said she could not
attend the ceremony, but was
thrilled his contribution had
been recognised.
“I had a scheduled street corner
meeting and Jim would not

tolerate me missing a street corner
meeting or my campaign,”
she said.
“Jim’s been a huge part of
south-west Christchurch and
gave everyone hope and the
belief that politicians can make a
difference.”
Mr Anderton and his wife
Carole could not be reached for
comment.
After splitting from Labour in
1989, Mr Anderton formed two
new political parties. He held a
number of portfolios and became
deputy prime minister.

Police are treating the death
of Bradley Alan Lomax, 24,

Mr Lomax’s body was found on
the banks of the river near Harrs

A friend asked what he meant

clearly a homicide but he would
not comment on his injuries or if
a weapon was involved.

City dog owners love labradors
• By Bridget Rutherford
WILLIAM BORRIE loves his
family’s chocolate labrador Meg
– and he’s not the only one.
Meg is one of 109 labradors
registered living in Fendalton –
the most popular breed in the
suburb, and about 67 per cent of
the city.
Mr Borrie said the family
chose a labrador because a lot of
friends had them, and they were
“loyal and affectionate.”
“She was very easy to train
and easily fitted into the family
lifestyle – she’s very tolerant.”
Aged 13, Meg is now a retiree,
but still loves slow walks at the
beach and Fendalton Park.
“She has since retired but was
a clever duck retriever for many
seasons,” Mr Borrie said.
City council figures show St
Albans residents love labradors
the most, with 231 registered,
followed by 160 in Hornby, 152
in Papanui, 149 in Belfast and
Spreydon’s 148.
When it comes to the eastern
suburbs, staffordshire bull terriers
are the most popular breed.
There are 128 registered in
Linwood, 118 in Wainoni, 109
in Aranui, and 108 in New

Brighton. They are also the most
popular in North New Brighton,
North Linwood, Dallington,
Brooklands, Phillipstown and
Addington.
In Banks Peninsula’s Akaroa,
Duvauchelle, Le Bons Bay, Little
River, Motukarara and Pigeon
Bay, huntaways are the most
popular.
Border collies feature a lot in
Diamond Harbour, Okains Bay,
and Wainui.
In Southshore, North Beach
and Moncks Bay bichon frises
are the popular dog of choice,
while it’s german shepherds in
the central city and Sockburn.
For Redcliffs, it appears the
smaller jack russell terrier is the
breed of choice.
Less popular breeds registered
included dalmation, great dane,
pug, beagle, boxer, norwegian
elkhound,
shar pei,
dobermann,
leonberger and
samoyed.
When it
comes to
popular names,
Bella was the
number one
name of choice in 34 suburbs,
including Aranui, Belfast, Burwood,
Halswell, Papanui and St
Albans.
In Fendalton, Huntsbury and
upper Riccarton Ruby
was a popular name, for
Merivale, Archie was number
one, while Marley was popular
in Wainoni.
More creative names included
Princess Citana and Roach’e
in Phillipstown, Eddie Bear
Wood in St Andrews Hill, and
D’archiac in Birdlings Flat.

Body cameras
for animal
control staff
• By Bridget Rutherford
ANIMAL management officers
will get body cameras to wear when
called out to isolated areas and
volatile situations.
City council principal adviser of
regulatory compliance Claire Le
Grice said the primary reason for
introducing the cameras was for
health and safety.
“The animal management staff do
encounter aggressive and agitated
people from time to time.”
She said there had been two reported
incidents this year. Once the
necessary IT support systems were
in place, staff would start using the
three cameras, she said.
Staff could activate the cameras if
they think their safety is at risk.
They will be similar to those the
city’s parking wardens have been
wearing since April last year to try
and deter verbal abuse and assaults.
The city council says the cameras
encouraged more parking wardens
to report incidents of abuse, threats
and assaults, because the footage
provided reliable evidence.
New Plymouth, Dunedin and
Wellington animal control officers
and parking wardens also use body
cameras, as do SPCA staff in Wellington.
Mandu’s mountaineering mate
• By Sarla Donovan
THERE ARE no prizes for
guessing what name residents of
Edith Cavell Lifecare in Sumner
have given this cat – Mandu.
That’s because the man
holding it in the photo above
is one of New Zealand’s best
known mountaineers. Mandu’s
name refers to Kathmandu, the
capital of Nepal.
Ninety-year-old Ed Cotter was
part of the first New Zealand
expedition to the Himalayas in
1951, along with George Lowe,
Earle Riddiford and Ed Hillary.
The inset photo above shows
him in his climbing days. His
adventures were recounted
in the 2016 book, Only Two
for Everest, written by Lyn
McKinnon.
Mr Cotter has made friends
with the handsome tomcat who
seems to have a penchant for
pensioners.
Mandu has been visiting
residents for the past six weeks
and Mr Cotter is one of his
favourites. Another is Denise
Brown, who lives in a town
house at the retirement village.
The ginger fur-ball pops in to
see her and her cat Penta.
“Cute as a bug’s ear” is how
she describes him. Edith Cavell
Lifecare manager Mary van der
Veldt said there was already
a house cat in the rest home,
which was probably enough.
She wasn’t keen on adopting
and feeding any old cat, but
didn’t mind if Mandu visited.
However, Mrs Brown wants to

Our People
Canty coach: All red and black
Glenn Delaney
Glenn Delaney is three
rounds into the Mitre
10 Cup as Canterbury’s
new coach. Bridget
Rutherford spoke to
him about the nailbiting
Ranfurly Shield
defence against Otago,
his nickname, and
sharing coaching tips
with his sister
When did you start playing
rugby?
At about age four I started
playing for Linwood. I’ve been
in the game ever since then. I
went to St Andrew’s College
and played right through there,
I played for the first XV, it was
pretty decent.
Did you play any
representative rugby through
school?
Yes, I played through Canterbury
18s, the schoolboys South
Island team, and the Canterbury
Colts. Then I went overseas
pretty early on to Japan at 19. I
ended up staying there for threeand-a-half
years. They wanted a
young lock and just got in touch
with me. I love the culture, the
food’s brilliant and I learned to
speak the language. I’m pretty
rusty now.
Where did you head from
there?
I came back and had a year in
Christchurch and played club
rugby in 1997 before I went over
to the United Kingdom. My wife,
Claire is, English. I met her in
Japan, and so I went and played
for Nottingham for a couple of
seasons.
How did you two meet?
She was up there teaching
English to Japanese school kids.
We met at a party one night, the
ex-pat community wasn’t that
big there and I fortunately ran
into her.
Where to from Nottingham?
After that I went to London
Irish (Rugby Football Club),

before returning to Christchurch.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
down to the bright lights of
London. I had three years
playing there, which was great,
and I enjoyed playing in the
premiership in England. It was
a big challenge. Then I went to
France and had my last year
playing in the top 16 there. But
I got injured and had to stop
playing. I smashed my ankle. It
was in a line-out and came down
and landed on someone’s foot. I
had to have my ankle fused and
it was impossible to play on it
again.
Was that how you came into
coaching?
I went back to Nottingham
as a player/coach, but when
I couldn’t play, the coaching
side just took over really. I had
started training to be a teacher
before I went to Japan, so that
was always part of the plan,
which is similar to coaching.
Then I went into working in
commercial recruitment so all
of a sudden things changed. I
did the Nottingham coaching
part-time for a year-and-a-half,
and they asked if I’d like to do it
full-time. I did eight years there,
which was a decent amount of
time and a lot of fun. I went
to London Irish, where I had
played, for four years after that,
and finished up there a year ago,
when this job materialised.
Why did you want to take up
the Canterbury coaching job?
Well, it’s the ultimate challenge,
it’s one of those things I’d
just love to do. Scott [Robertson]
got the Crusaders job, and I had
always kept in touch while I was
overseas so I knew what was going
on here.
Speaking of Scott Robertson,
he is well-known for his break
dancing. Do you have a party
trick like that?
No (laughs). You’ve just got to
leave some things to the professionals,
and I genuinely think
he’s a professional break dancer.
I could never even consider
competing with him as a break
dancer.
Do you have any nicknames?
Yeah, Glaxo. I got it when I
was a kid. At the time, the company
Glaxo was making baby
food, and the suggestion was
that this formula built massive
babies, and I was a big baby. It’s
stuck ever since. Pretty much
everyone calls me that.
Canterbury is a relatively
young and inexperienced team
this season. How do you make
sure the young players are up
to it?
The kids have been coming
through the structures here,
and you often wonder who’s
ever going to replace the guys
who’ve left, but Canterbury has
done that for 20 years. It’s about
making sure when those players
get the opportunity to push in
there, they’re ready. We have lost
experienced guys this year, but
young ones like Brett Cameron,
Josh McKay, Caleb Makene and
Braydon Ennor really showed
they could step up.
They showed that in the
Ranfurly Shield match against
Otago, even with a couple of
players struck down with illness.
They did. The way you get
through is you have to have a
good squad. So when we got to
that point, everyone was ready.
The best moment was Jed Brown
scoring the winning try. Initially
he wasn’t even named in the
team, but he went on, and he
turned up at the right time and
scored that try.
What went through your
mind when he scored in the
76th minute?
There’s a couple of fortuitous
things. But at times Otago scored
off errors from our side. I always
knew we had it in us to win and
we had to dig pretty deep. And
it showed the resilience the team
had, with some of our players
ruled out.
You have another shield
defence tomorrow against the
Southland Stags. Is there more
pressure in a shield match?
There’s always pressure on a
shield game, any coach would be
telling fibs if they say otherwise.
It affects people in different ways,
it’s great people feel the hope. It
creates a competition within a
competition and everyone wants
to win the shield. It’s that powerful
impact of the log of wood.
What do you want to achieve
this season?
We’ve got to make sure we’re
giving ourselves the best opportunity
to win the competition.
We’ve got to make small steps
each week to make sure we get
better, and so it allows us to keep
moving forward. You’ve got to
take care of the here and now,
and what we’re doing today and
tomorrow.

Lifelong study offers quake insights
Completely by chance, a long-running University of Otago
study into the lives of 1265 Cantabrians has become
an earthquake researcher’s dream. Study director John
Horwood spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about the latest findings
IN THE early 1970s, paediatrics
professor Fred Shannon noticed
something odd: An unusually
high number of sick children in
Christchurch Hospital wards
were from single-parent families.
That led to a bigger question:
How big an impact does a person’s
social environment have on
their health later in life?
He initially looked to undertake
a study of 200
children – but that
would not be big
enough to control
all the variables in
people’s lives. To
do that, a massive,
long-term study
John
Horwood
would be needed.
In 1977, he won
funding for the
study from the
New Zealand Medical Research
Council. He then worked to get
permission from 1251 sets of
parents to study babies born in
Christchurch that year.
This year, those babies turn 40.
And again this year, for the 23rd
time, they are sitting down with
strangers to discuss the most
intimate details of their lives.
They have been asked about
their deepest fears and struggles,
physical or sexual abuse
they have suffered, their drug or
alcohol abuse, their health, their
relationships and their finances.
By this time next year, the
researchers hope the information
they have gathered will answer
big questions around how people
have been affected by the earthquakes.
Has experiencing the earthquakes
helped or harmed people’s
jobs and careers?
Do people in Christchurch
have worse physical health now
than people living elsewhere?
What makes some people
“naturally resilient” – those who
have dealt with huge stress or
challenges, yet seem to escape
the expected health and wellbeing
struggles? Have people
been able to get help when they
need it, and who has missed out?
And in the future, what impact
will the earthquake stress have
on people’s relationships? On
their long-term finances? On
when they die?
Those long-term impacts of
a disaster had historically been
very difficult to measure, Mr
Horwood said. That was partly
STILL HERE: More than six years on from the earthquakes, researchers are still discovering the
toll it has taken on Cantabrians, mentally and physically.
because people tended to scatter
after a disaster, moving to or
away from the area, he said.
But when they contacted the
participants after the earthquakes,
in 2012, they discovered
543 of them – at that point, just
over half the participants – had
experienced the earthquakes.
The rest had been living somewhere
else and they became a
perfect control group.
The first thing the researchers
did was create a measure of the
impact of the earthquakes on
people.
Firstly, the immediate impact
during the earthquakes: The
damage to the building the person
was in, whether objects were
falling down around them, and
how afraid they felt at the time.
Then the aftermath: The housing

homes at Redcliffs after the

repairs or insurance they dealt
with, and the disruption to their
work, family, community and
routines.
For people classed as having
a high level of exposure to the
earthquakes – those who were
hit hardest – the initial 2012
interview found they were 1.4
times more likely to be dealing
with a mental disorder than people
living outside Christchurch.
Over the past 40 years, the
participants had helped them
understand a huge amount, he
said. In the first years alone, it
proved smoking while pregnant
or around babies left them less
healthy and more prone to
respiratory illnesses; found ties
between learning difficulties and
exposure to lead; and helped
shape Government policies helping
disadvantaged children.
Many of the questions asked as
the children became adults were
deeply personal.
They found about 30 per
cent of women and six per cent
of men had been exposed to
some kind of sexual abuse as
a child. They found that had a
measurable impact on people’s
relationships and mental health
as adults.
Sometimes the people involved
in the study said they had never
talked to anyone before about
what they were facing, he said.
That could be difficult at times
for the interviewers, he said.
“The study is designed to be
non-interventive, so we go out
and gather information. We
would never intervene unless an
individual asks for help. We are
an independent observer in their
life,” he said.
He hoped the study would
continue for as long as it could
– although as the participants
got older it would one day reach
a point where too few were still
around, he said.
And Prof Shannon’s initial
theory about single parents?
One of the first things the
study did was prove that wrong,
Mr Horwood said. “To single out
single parents as being the problem
is utterly ridiculous. But it is
indicative of other problems and
difficulties those families might
be experiencing.”

BREAST CANCER patients are
wearing Fitbits to record their
activity in a University of Otago,
Christchurch, study exploring the
impact of exercise on responses to
chemotherapy.
The pilot study of 40 Canterbury
women is being done by Pathology
post-graduate student Rebekah
Crake. She is doing her PhD at the
campus’ Mackenzie Cancer Research
Group, which includes oncologists,
geneticists and laboratory scientists.
Miss Crake said the Canterbury
women’s physical activity will be
tracked during their chemotherapy
treatment. Data from the Fitbits will
be compared to the women’s response
to chemotherapy to see if any trends
emerge.
“The basic idea behind the study
is that inflammation can decrease
activity of the liver. Exercise can
reduce inflammation in the liver, and
the liver needs to be working well to
metabolize chemotherapy drugs.”
Miss Crake said overseas research
suggested people who were physically
active had a better quality of life, were
less likely to have their cancer return
after treatment and were more likely
to survive the disease.
She began recruiting patients
from the Canterbury District Health
Board’s oncology service in March
this year. She hopes to have results
from the study by the end of 2019.
“If we can show a trend in data that
the women who exercised more had
better response to chemotherapy, it
could warrant a larger study, with
more people and women doing
different levels of exercise, to understand
in greater detail the physical
activity needed to make a difference.
It’s pretty exciting to be involved in
a project that could potentially help
people improve their outcomes.”
Miss Crake’s pilot trial includes
women of normal weight and those

Family’s house in midst of shoddy
Monday marked
seven years since the
first earthquake hit
Canterbury. Since then,
thousands of homes have
been razed and tens of
thousands more repaired.
Or have they? Lawyers
and experts believe
Christchurch is sitting on a
multi-billion dollar ticking
time bomb. Kurt Bayer
reports
KEN AND Lucy Palepoi felt like
they’d won Lotto. Owning their
own home before they’d even
turned 30. Two kids, a third on
the way.
As soon as they moved in in
2015, they hung a picture. “Being
able to put a nail in the wall, in
your own wall. That felt pretty
good,” Ken says.
The 1940s character home,
with its stucco cladding and
rounded edges, was perfect for
the young family who’d just
moved to Christchurch from
Dunedin for work opportunities.
And it was paying off.
The Woolston home needed

some attention, but they were
happy to chip away, when they
could afford it.
“Everything pointed to this
house having really good bones,”
Lucy says.
They paid above market value.
Earthquake repairs were already
organised – some were already
done, they were told. Exterior
plasterwork cracking, minor
cosmetic stuff. To be on the
safe side, the Palepois got the
Earthquake Commission deed of
assignment.
But months went on and
nobody came. Lucy, stay-athome
mum, chased up EQC.
Finally, an assessor arrived. It
was deemed a $30,000 patch-up
job. EQC passed over the money
and the Palepois got plasterers to
size up the job.
One quoted $42,000 but
wouldn’t guarantee his work
until the 70-year old foundations
were looked at. Cracks there
were dismissed as minor by EQC
assessors. Pre-1970s foundations
were suddenly a major issue for
Christchurch homeowners.
The 2016 Valentine’s Day
quake “reopened a spider’s web
of cracks”, Lucy says. Windows
wouldn’t shut properly.
It was clear the damage was
more than cosmetic. “I hounded
EQC,” Lucy says. “I’d phone
them and play nice. I’d phone
them and cry. I’d phone them
and yell.”
Last December, they finally
got another EQC assessment.
It returned grim findings. One
corner of the house is sinking.
The property needs lifting up,
so workers can dig 4m deep to
find solid ground to build new
foundations.
For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements
The Blind Care Company has been
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds
for over 60 years. Those six decades
have seen changes in both fashion and
technology. Styles have ranged from
festooned fabric swags to straightforward
and still popular holland roller blinds,
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,
and in every colour or pattern popular
since the 1960s.
Whatever your style, the Blind Care
Company has the expertise to keep your
window treatments looking fresh and
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue
can be removed so that your blinds
smell fresh and are restored to their
original glory. The company can repair
blinds also, having a huge range of parts
in stock. And if you want something
completely new, a great range of blinds is
available for purchase.
The company prides itself on efficient
service, providing a fast turn-around,
with most work taking one or two
days, and a same day cleaning option is
available. It makes it as easy as possible
for clients. The Cashel Street location
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup
and drop-off service is available. 150
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,
** The Best Clean and Shine EVERY TIME **
or one of their mobile vans can do up to
50 per day. That means they will come to
your home or office, remove and clean
your blinds on the spot and reinstall them
for you.
A cut-down and size alteration service
is available in order that the blinds you
bought are a perfect fit.
They are experts in their field with a
huge amount of experience to draw on.
In fact, all their staff has been on board
for at least 8 years, and many up to 20
years. Whatever the job involves, they

earthquake repair debacle
The repairs will soar past the
EQC repair cap of $100,000. After
that, it goes to their insurance
company. But the insurer’s policy
in such situations is to pay the indemnity
value of repairs because
of the home’s wear and tear. The
rest falls with the Palepois. And
now, their lawyers.
“We were so naive,” Lucy says.
“We just thought we’d
done everything right. Being
vigilant by getting the deed of
assignment. Nothing pointed to
repairs even remotely going over
cap.
“Anyone buying a house in
Christchurch needs to know.
Even if the repairs have been
signed off, if it’s a shoddy repair
job, then they’re left with a
massive bill or a house worth
nothing.”
And this is just the tip of the
iceberg.
After the earthquakes, Bevan
Craig spent hours wandering
through the cracked and twisted
residential red zone.
Entire eastern subdivisions
were wrecked. More than 7200
homes would eventually be
razed, leaving a rough, barren
wasteland where grasses would

Christchurch on February 22, 2011. PHOTO: BRETT PHIBBS
slowly sprout behind wire fences.
As a house foundation specialist,
Mr Craig had a professional
interest in what lay beneath all
homes there.
Many Christchurch houses
built before the 1970s had rubble
foundations – stone in different
grades of concrete, aggregate and
plaster. The rest of New Zealand
stopped using the method in the
1920s.
Mr Craig became concerned the
cracks seen in these foundations
were being too quickly repaired by
EQC. Epoxy resin or waterproof
filler was used to patch them up.
Often the damage was assessed as
being old, pre-quakes.
The problem never went away.

Out of a total of 26,879 domestic
over-cap claims, 384 are unresolved.
Insurers have paid out
$20.1 billion on the staggeringly
high 142,346 domestic claims
and 26,248 commercial claims
in Canterbury as of June 30 this
year.
Through his independent
house insurance assessment firm
Underfoot Services, Mr Craig
has worked with 9000 homeowners
over the past six years. He
estimates as many as 60,000
pre-1970s houses may have been
incorrectly assessed and repaired.
“The majority of people who have
these homes are sitting on ticking
time bombs,” he says.

‘There are hundreds, if not thousands,
Documents released in June
under the Official Information
Act revealed EQC accepted there
were around 11,500 claims relating
to botched repairs. Many
were minor, others land and
drainage claims. As of June 30,
EQC says it was down to managing
2764 call-back repairs, as
well as 1011 underfloor
repairs.
EQC stresses
it’s important
that in the wider
context, it received
more than
469,000 claims
for the 2010 and
Tim Grafton
2011 quakes.
“Our policy is to ensure that
all customers receive their full
entitlement for any loss or damage
that was directly caused by a
natural disaster,” an EQC spokesman
says.
“This has been our approach
since the Canterbury earthquakes
and any homeowner who
believes that their foundations
may have earthquake-related
damage can discuss their situation
with EQC.
“Many homes in Canterbury
were built before 1970 and had
foundation damage or structural
weakness that was there before
the earthquakes. It is not uncommon
for their foundations
to be damaged due to causes
other than an earthquake, such
as cracking caused by natural
drying shrinkage, weathering, as
well as corrosion of reinforcing
materials.
“There are repair solutions
available for repairing houses and
foundations and each is assessed
individually. Once a decision
is made to undertake a repair,
then the work must meet the
requirements of all of the relevant
legislation, including the EQC
Act.”
But Andrew Hooker of Shine
Lawyers believes there are
“hundreds, if not thousands, of
seriously botched repairs.”
“When I say seriously botched,
I mean repairs that were EQC
patched-up cracks in foundations
and a proper assessment reveals
the entire foundation is stuffed,
so you’re talking $300,000-
$500,000 repair jobs. The scale
is massive. There are potentially
billions of dollars at stake.”
WRECKED:
Dozens of

Mr Hooker has more than 50
clients in situations similar to
the Palepois. But with time – or
indeed more shaking like last
year’s magnitude 5.7 Valentine’s
Day jolt – homeowners notice
that “things aren’t quite as they
should be.”
“So EQC admits: ‘Yep we
stuffed your repairs up, here’s
$100,000, which is our limited
liability under the EQC Act
(Earthquake Commission Act
1993).’ And I say: ‘No, you stuffed
up these people’s houses, you
need to pay the lot’,” Mr Hooker
says.
And that will fall back on the
taxpayer.
Dozens of claims from people
in situations similar to the Palepois
have been filed in the High
Court in the last week. More will
come in the following weeks.
The Insurance Council of
New Zealand has previously told
Cantabrians the main residential
private insurers would not rely on
the Limitations Act before September
4, 2017 – the seven-year
anniversary of the magnitude
7.1 tremor that sparked the devastating
2010-2011 Canterbury
earthquake sequence.
There are different interpretations
of how the Act applies, and
individual insurers and EQC,
have taken a range of positions.
ICNZ chief executive Tim
Grafton says there is no need for
homeowners to rush to court and
incur costs to protect their legal
position. “You can simply make a
call to your insurer to understand
its position on its Limitation Act
rights in relation to your claim.”
Lawyers, insurance advocates,
and homeowners interviewed are
worried, however, they’ll be left
to foot the bill of quake-damaged
homes if they don’t act now.

Fire rages, homes at risk
“We’re filing proceedings in
court saying that the insurer and/
or EQC have not repaired the
house to policy standards, and/or
that the repairs are defective
. . . and to get a ruling on whether
EQC has to pay the lot,” says
Hooker, whose firm filed “about
50” proceedings in the past few
days. In the next few months, he
expects “possibly two to three
times that amount.”
“Time is ticking on and EQC
and insurers will be able to rely
on things like the Limitation
Period if people aren’t careful. By
then it’s too late and they can’t
sue anyone.
“It has been seven years, so imagine
how many homes that have
had botched repairs have since
been sold and people moved on
and changed their lives.
“People in the rest of New
Zealand have no idea how big the
problem is.”
Law firm Anthony Harper has
filed two proceedings where insurance
companies have refused
to defer reliance on a Limitation
Act defence after today. Both the
claims are with the insurer, not
EQC.
“However, we are drafting
many more proceedings, for
clients who only have extensions
from their insurer to October 2,
of seriously botched repairs’

2017. A number of these claims
are still with EQC and have not
yet been passed to the insurer,”
says Lisa Taylor, senior associate
at Anthony Harper.
Labour has pledged to commit
to a Royal Commission of
Inquiry into EQC to “get to the
bottom of many issues Cantabrians
have faced in recent years”
– a call supported by Hooker and
Bourke.
Labour also promised to
establish an arbitration tribunal
with an inquisitorial focus as an
alternative pathway for claimants,
EQC and insurers to resolve
disputes.
ICNZ rubbished the arbitration
Duncan
Webb
Gerry
Brownlee
service proposal as a “misconceived,
poorly thought through
seat-of-the-pants policy that runs
roughshod over natural justice”,
claiming the existing system,
including the legal system, does
enough to resolve insurance
claims.
Labour’s Christchurch Central
candidate Duncan Webb questioned
why ICNZ would be “so
defensive and negative” towards
something that looks to be a way
to resolve “nightmarish situations
for so many people.”
Former Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Minister Gerry
Brownlee has repeatedly backed
the work of EQC. During an election
debate last week he provoked
a chorus of boos when he labelled
it a “roaring success.”
Mel Bourke, of earthquake
claimant advocacy group EQC
Fix, bought a repaired St Albans
rental property in February last
year only to find the repairs were
sub-standard.
Grasping for solutions and trying
to understand her rights, she
was stunned there was no group
to represent the homeowners and
help with key decisions.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a
surgeon or a solo mum, when
you ride through a [magnitude] 7
or 6 earthquake and your home
is destroyed, you know nothing
about insurance and you know
nothing about insurance law.
“You’re emotionally devastated
and you’re vulnerable. There is so
much you need to know to make
sure your claim is not mishandled.
“Your home is your one place
where you want to feel safe from
the world, and the insurance
companies and the Government
are taking the fight into your
living room and you have no
escape.”
In April last year, a group of
98 homeowners won a landmark
High Court settlement that confirmed
EQC is obliged to repair
homes to a “when new” standard.
But more people are coming
forward all the time.
“There are so many people
here, as homes change hands,
as people delve into things a bit
more, who are finding failed
EQC repairs and they just don’t
know where to start. We’re contacted
with people like that every
month and it’s heartbreaking,”
Bourke says.
“For every home that EQC has
cash settled, every home they’ve
touched, every home they’ve
forced under the cap, then the
New Zealand Government
should be accountable or liable to
put right.
“If a volcano hits Auckland,
they’re just as vulnerable as us.
People don’t understand that it’s
one thing to have an insurance
policy, it’s completely different for
an insurer to pay a claim.”

No place for
dinosaur-style politics
YOU CAN feel it on the doorsteps and
at the street corner meetings. Excitement
is growing about this election.
I haven’t seen people so engaged
with an election for a very long time.
Jacinda’s name is never far from the
conversation along with a twinkle in
the eye and a prediction that Labour’s
going to do this. Labour is putting up
a clear alternative for New Zealand
and people are deciding which vision
and policies they think are best for our
future.
This is what makes Steven Joyce’s
false claim about Labour’s budget this
week so disappointing. Hoping to
derail Monday night’s debate, Joyce
came out and said Labour’s budget
numbers didn’t add up and there was
a hole. Turns out the only hole was the
one Joyce was digging for himself. One
after another, New Zealand’s leading
experts came out and said this was
plain wrong.
The only people backing up Steven
Joyce were Steven Joyce and Bill
English.

Properties, recovered from the

Tickets Essential – $25
available from Paper Plus Merivale
A tour in support of the Ngaio Marsh Heritage House,
a Category 1 Historic Place.
I don’t buy that our Minster of
Finance can’t make his way around a
set of numbers. This was a political hit,
not based on facts, but aimed at creating
confusion with voters. I have no
respect for this kind of politics.
Caught in the middle of a childish
chorus of “he said, she said” people
inevitably reach for the political mute
button. This is the kind of bickering
that is causing people to turn off politics
and has no place in New Zealand.
The people I am talking to all over
Wigram are impressed by Jacinda and
Labour’s positive vision for Christchurch
and New Zealand. They want
to discuss health, the environment,
education and housing. We’re out there
trying to inspire voters, not turn them
off.
The dinosaur-style of politics on
display from Joyce and National this
week that seeks to confuse and to stop
this conversation has no place in this
election.

Hospital from possible
demolition has taken
the battle right to the
top – writing to Queen
Elizabeth to ask for her
support
Scotty Wilson – Why?
Replace it with a modern
first-world facility that the
people of Canterbury actually
deserve.
Pamela Neil – A hospital
is needed there. Just get
started with a (renovation) or
a rebuild. Looks like another
Cathedral debacle.
Rebecca Hitchcock
– I’ve said this to friends but
with there being such a baby
boom at the moment, why
isn’t part of this hospital used
as postnatal care? Especially
with Burwood no longer
having birthing or aftercare
available. Being a larger space
it could be set up quite nicely
and mums could find a lot of
support from each other as
well as nurses. Just a thought.
Cheryll Eddy – What
have those in the building
industry had to say about the
structural state of the building?
If it’s not worth keeping
but better off rebuilding, can’t
part of it be kept as a symbol
of what was there? I’m all for
preserving what we can of
our old buildings but we do
have to be practical. At the
end of the day it is brick an
mortar and can be replaced.
Remove sentiment from the
equation and look at what is
going to last. Why patch-up
patch-ups and spend millions
on that when it would be
more cost-effective long term
to rebuild?
Helen Baker – PMH is a
beautiful building, it would
be a crime to demolish it.
Going into the future, we
may need it with the population
growing and the main
hospital with its parking
woes. If PMH was earthquake
strengthened it could be used
for apartments with the lower
ground floor a medical centre
and a few shops.
Owen McCaffrey –
Doesn’t look much like a
heritage building but would
be keen to have a new owner
do repairs and make it look
even more heritage. Like a
hotel, conference centre or
Government building.
Jon Mitchell – Please.
It is a complete liability. Just
take it down and replace it
with something safe, attractive
and functional.

THERE’S NO doubt about it,
Cantabrians are passionate rugby
supporters, particularly when it
comes to the mighty Crusaders.
And for many, when thinking
about our new stadium,
that’s what comes to mind —
Super Rugby and All Blacks test
matches.
But the reason this anchor
project is being described as a
multi-use arena is because it
needs to be so much more than a
rugby union ground.
While the ultimate configuration
is up to the city council and
the community, the Government’s
preferred option is a
30,000 capacity arena with a
fully closed roof and retractable
pitch. This type of facility will be
capable of attracting a wide range
of sports, entertainment and
hosting events.
Other sporting codes are
already seeing its potential. Just
last week the Manly Sea Eagles
committed to playing at least
two national rugby league home
games in Christchurch over the
next couple of years.
But it gets even better, Manly
chief executive Neil Bare says he

Stadium needs to cater

sees the club being a real partner
in the city’s redevelopment and
rebuild, with the relationship
lasting “10-years-plus.”
Manly games will be a welcome
addition to our sporting calendar
and will highlight the city’s
willingness and enthusiasm for
hosting such events.
A multi-use arena is designed
to be a central hub capable of
bringing the community together
and invigorating the wider region.
The more flexible the venue
is, the more opportunities we’ll
have.
This facility must be an asset
for Christchurch, Canterbury
and New Zealand. That means
generating revenue, but it also
means embracing innovative
trends and new technologies.
Internationally, there are some
great examples of venues that are
so much more than stadiums.
These facilities can be patronised
seven days a week in exciting new
ways. And, if we think about it
creatively, we can do something
spectacular here too.

Leading the way with car sharing
YESTERDAY, we announced a
world-leading electric car sharing
scheme for Christchurch, which
will be under way in November.
Initiated by the city council, it
has brought together the public
sector, private businesses and our
city’s residents as well, to share in
the new technologies which will
become standard in the future.
A few months ago, after a competitive
tender, the city council
selected vehicle management
company, Yoogo, as our partner
to develop an electric car sharing
scheme and together we have
turned a dream into a reality.
But the partnership has
delivered more than we had
even dreamed.
The fact that the scheme
includes residents takes this
scheme to the next level before
it’s even off the ground.
Christchurch is demonstrating
strong leadership in innovation
and carbon emission reduction
by being the first city in New
Zealand, and one of the few cities
internationally, that has a 100 per
cent battery electric car sharing
service.
When you think about this in
the context of the autonomous
e-shuttle being trialled at Christchurch
International Airport and
other initiatives that are coming
our way, you can see what an
important role Christchurch is
Angela Toomey – I am
sorry, but from what I have

structurally sound? Would make

In terms of the electric car

With city council working on
setting up the battery electric

a significant amount of work required
on assessing power supply
availability for charging infrastructure
for each potential car

like to thank Orion for working
with city council, and now with
Yoogo, on this important aspect
of the scheme.
I would like to give special
thanks to Yoogo for coming onboard
with our shared vision for
an innovative 100 per cent battery

for Christchurch.
And I would like to acknowledge
Cr Vicki Buck, who chairs
the Innovation and Sustainable

This is the way of the future.

– It’s an old building in need of

$1m prize for
Golden Oldies
hole-in-one
TWENTY GOLFERS will have
the chance to play for $1 million
in a hole-in-one shootout on the
final day of next year’s Golden
Oldies World Golf Festival week.
The shootout will be held on
April 13. A 150m purpose-made
hole will be prepared next to the
Golden Oldies Festival marquee
in Hagley Park.
The 20 qualifying golfers will be
made up of eight qualifiers picked
from the four rounds of golf
played earlier in the week.
If more than one golfer shoots a
hole in one, the prize money will
be split. Each person will only
have one shot at the prize, with no
practice shots on the competition
hole.
Only golfers registered for the
Golden Oldies World Golf Festival
are eligible for the $1 million
hole.

AFTER MONTHS of work, it
took just the flick of a switch to

Lights hidden in the walls
washed the building in colour,
the entrance lit up and lights on
the roulette wheel on top of the
building began to spin.
Last week,

for the project,
Robbie

which it created
and installed at
Christchurch
Casino last year.
Servicing manager Robbie
Venrooy said seeing the
building light up for the first
time was a spectacular moment
– but a nervous one too.
“It was all tested beforehand,
because the managers were
all there watching, so it had
to work,” he said. “To see
it all turned on was pretty
spectacular. It was amazing to
see the colour change from red,
to blue, to orange. It’s come
alive.”
He said it was one of the
more challenging projects the
Christchurch team had taken
on.
Movement of the building
during the earthquakes meant
the walls were no longer
straight, so the lighting had
to be custom built and fitted.
Some of the lighting had to be
installed by an abseiler.
The plan also included a 2min
light show, programmed to play
every half hour, and lighting
colours which could be changed
and customised for different
events.
To make it more difficult,
it all had to be done over two
months while the casino was
still operating.
“A lot of the work was done
at night and in all weather. The
boys were out working even in
the rain,” Mr Venrooy said.
The project was designed by
Kevin Cawley Lighting, and
created by Aotea Electric liaison

Take time out to
plant popular lettuce
• By Henri Ham
SPRING IS officially here.
It’s the busiest time of the year
in the garden and one plant to
get in now is lettuce.
It’s not surprising lettuce is
a popular plant to grow at this
time of year.
They grow well in these
conditions and, in my opinion,
there’s just something about the
warmer weather that makes you
want to enjoy salad.
It’s funny now to think that
back in the day we used to
Durable magnolias make a statement
MAGNOLIAS AND michelia

These are real statement

it was ready.
Those were the days when iceberg
was all the rage. But now,
as most of us know, with many
of the types of lettuce you can
just pick off the leaves you need
at the time and leave the plant
growing.
Probably the hardest part
about growing lettuce is deciding
which type to plant. That’s
why I’m a big fan of growing a
couple of several varieties.
Once you’ve got your lettuce
seedlings look for somewhere

choices to plant in areas where
you want a focal point.
Soil-wise they cope with
just about anything but
pure sand or thick clay. As
long as they can anchor
themselves into some heavy
well-drained and sheltered to
plant them. If you don’t have
much space, try growing them
in pots or even hanging baskets.
The great thing about growing
them in containers is you
can make them easily accessible
to your kitchen.
When you’ve found the right
spot to plant, dig a little hole
and plant each seedling around
20cm apart.
Try not to overcrowd your
seedlings to prevent fungal
diseases.
Watch out for slugs.

Pruning is best done after
flowering and only if required.
Give them a side-dressing
of general garden fertiliser
this month and mulch
the root zones to keep the
roots cool over summer.

or two and your lettuce
plant will keep growing.

Theatre/Arts
A Greek tragedy for the new age
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A VIOLENT Greek tragedy and
dark music will be combined to
create a “feast for the eyes” in
a bid to get younger audiences
interested in ancient culture and
opera music.
The Oresteia Experience, an
opera with music by late Russian
composer, Sergei Taneyev, is set
to premiere in New Zealand for
the first time on Sunday. It will
be presented by Canterbury University’s
school of music.
The man behind getting the
opera off the ground is musical
director and conductor Mark
Menzies.
It is the second time the
49-year-old will conduct the
show after first doing so in Los
Angeles in 2011 with the California
Institute of the Arts.
“To a young audience member,
it is not going to be like a normal
opera of the 19th-century or even
20th-century music,” he said.
The Sumner resident describes
the show as provocative, dramatic
and, at times, painful and
frightening, with a lot of implied
violence.
He believes young people
would be more affected by implied
violence.
•Check out The Oresteia
Experience on Sunday,
6.30pm, at the Christchurch
Arts Centre’s Great Hall. To
book tickets, visit
www.artsfestival.co.nz
The opera is a trilogy of Greek
tragedies set in the aftermath of
the invasion of Troy.
It is based on the murder of
Agamemnon by Clytemnestra,
the murder of Clytemnestra by
Orestes, the trial of Orestes, and
the interference of Athena, goddess
of wisdom, to stop the cycle
of killing.
The show will feature a choir
made up of both Canterbury
University students and performers
from the community, as well
as music from the Christchurch
Symphony Orchestra.
While Menzies is now based at
Canterbury University as head
of performance at the school of
music, his career as a chamber
musician, pianist, conductor,
viola and violinist has seen him
perform all over the world.
Some of his highlights included
performing at Carnegie Hall
in New York City nine times.
The hall is considered one of
the most prestigious venues in
the world for classical music.
Having grown up in Hawkes
Bay before studying music at
Canterbury University in the
1980s, Menzies said living in a
small city helped him succeed at
his music.
Following his studies, he travelled
to England where he lived
for four years, before moving
to the United States, where he
became a permanent resident.
But Menzies does not see
returning to Christchurch as a
step back.
“When I was a kid, New Zealand
was the place to leave if you
were in the arts . . . it doesn’t have
to be that way,” he said.
He said the key is making the
city a destination for people to
stay, which he see’s as his task.

Visit ‘Crocodile Hunter’s’ legacy
• By Mike Yardley
SHOWPIECE: The Crocoseum at Australia Zoo is enthralling.
QUEENSLAND’S Sunshine
Coast offers a flavourful spoil of
family-friendly experiences, albeit
at a far more relaxed pace than
the head-rush of the Gold Coast.
Hop-scotch your way around
the compact region’s assortment
of sights on a self-drive family
roadie.
The legacy of Steve Irwin
palpably lives on at Australia Zoo,
where his wife Terri and children,
Bindi and Robert, live and work.
I had the pleasure of interviewing
Steve and Terri several times
on Newstalk ZB before tragedy
struck a decade ago. His largerthan-life
TV persona wasn’t a case
of playing for the cameras. In
person, that exuberant charm and
passion was just as infectiously
electric.
From humble beginnings in
the 1990s, the Irwin family have
worked hard to make Australia
Zoo a world class conservation
facility, in addition to its magnetic
appeal as a tourist attraction. It’s
the intimacy of the animal encounters
which makes Australia
Zoo such a novel wildlife experience.
Like all good Aussie wildlife
parks, you can hand-feed kangaroos
and cuddle a koala. Then
there’s the up-close experiences
with red pandas, otters, wombats,
giraffes and spiky echidnas.
The Australia Zoo roving wildlife
team also serves up spontaneous
photo-posing opportunities,
with a veritable menagerie of
wildlife, including dingoes, bluetongue
lizards, skinks, pythons,
alligators, macaws and cockatoos.
You can be a zoo keeper for a
day and go behind-the-scenes to
get up close with the animals. But
the ultimate walk on the wild side
would have to be the opportunity
to take a cheetah or a tiger for a
walk. Seriously.
Book a hands-on encounter
and you’ll be contributing to
the zoo’s various projects geared
at protecting wildlife, from the
jungles of Sumatra to the savannahs
of Africa.
The newest attraction is Bindi’s
Island, built around her threestorey
treehouse, where the ringtailed
lemurs are the big showstealer.
Steve had just started the
excavation work for Bindi’s dream
treehouse, when he passed away.
But the showpiece attraction is
Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors,
which roars into life at noon in
the Crocoseum. It begins with the
free-flight birds of prey that wheel
and swoop around the arena
before the jaw-snapping drama of
the ginormous saltwater crocodiles
steal the show.
It’s instructive, enlightening and
utterly enthralling. Just like Steve
himself, whose spirit seems to live
on loudly and proudly throughout
this wondrous celebration
of wildlife. www.australiazoo.

Treat your kids to the delights
of Yandina, a charming subtropical
town and home to The Ginger
Factory. In 1941, Buderim Ginger
set about producing confectionery
ginger and 75 years on,
they remain the world’s biggest
producer.
Alongside the production, the
Ginger Factory is swooned over
by families for its boutique theme
park-style assortment of attractions.
I joined a Factory Tour
which was brilliantly led by Kelly,
bringing to life Buderim Ginger’s
backstory and concluding with a
fabulous product tasting session.
Don’t miss the ice creamery
and a scoop or two of ginger biscuit
and ginger cinnamon.
I hopped on board Moreton,
the factory’s beloved 115-year
old ginger train which tootles
through the property’s lush, leafy
and impeccably maintained tropical
gardens.
The Ginger Factory has also
branched out and embraced
honeybee production, and their
Super Bee educational tours are
absolutely riveting, complete with
honey tasting.
I finished my frolic through
the Ginger Factory by joining the
signature family ride, Overboard,
which follows the Gingerbread
man, around the world. This
meandering water adventure ride,
which is unmistakably reminiscent
of Disney’s It’s a Small World
ride, is delightfully presented and
even includes animatronic rugby
players performing a haka. www.
gingerfactory.com.au
The Yandina-Coolum Rd provides
a short hop from the Ginger
Factory to the sun-splashed,
seaside haven of Coolum. Bookended
by rocky headlands and
secluded coves, Coolum Beach is
a magnet for water lovers, with its
long stretch of golden sand and
rolling surf.
If your family is up for a sweaty
work-out, follow David Low Way
south of town, and hike up Mt
Coolum, for celestial views across
the coastline. The café society is
buzzy in Coolum, with some sizzling
beachfront nosh spots, none
more so than the Coolum Surf
Club. The Mooloolaba Prawn and
Avocado Salad is my pick.
Directly across the road, the
Coolum Caprice is a supreme
holiday roost, with ultra-spacious
self-contained apartments, overlooking
the Norfolk Palms fringing
the patrolled area of Coolum
Beach.
All apartments are equipped
with private balconies and those
sublime ocean views. Fully selfcontained
with open-plan living
and dining areas, cook up a storm
in your fully equipped kitchen,
while the in-room laundry facilities
are another welcome attribute.
SUN AND SURF: Coolum
Beach is a magnet for water
lovers. Left: Take a tour of the
Ginger Factory in a 115-yearold

•Coolum Caprice also
features a fabulous heated

Parker, 17, is now in the hunt
for his first national under-19 title
at the New Zealand age group
championships, which finish
tomorrow at the Hastings Golf

The Christchurch Golf Club

three-round tournament, which
was first played in 1962.
Names on the New Zealand
under-19 trophy include Greg
Turner (1981), Michael Campbell
(1987), Michael Long (1988),
Adam Scott (1996) and Jason Day
(2004).
Earlier this year, Parker finished
third at the Australian boys’

part of the New Zealand team
which finished sixth at the Junior
Gold World Cup in Japan in June.

national secondary schools title
on Monday winning by eight
strokes over defending champions
Burnside. Parker fired a 66 in
the second and final round at the
Hawkes Bay Golf Club to finish
nine under (individually), three
shots ahead of Baker in second.
CBHS led by one shot after
the first round before the pair of
Parker and Baker went bogey-free
in the second round to widen the
gap on the field and lead CBHS

This year is extremely special for the St

team. For the first time in the colleges history
a team will travel to Tauranga and compete
against 58 other teams from around New
Zealand. The team is coached by Old Boy
Jacob Allen and Head of Football Richard
Washington.
The team is not sure what to expect and
know it will be extremely
hard, pools of 10 and
the top 2 go through
to the next round.
We are playing some
intermediates who are
bigger than our whole
school. Most of the St
Thomas’s squad, is in
a representative team
so have the potential to
perform on the national
stage. The team live
and breathe football at
school and always have
a ball at their feet. The
preparation has been

they went undefeated in the games they
played. They have dominated a Catholic
school tournament scoring over 50 goals and
conceding only 1 in a tournament. The Juniors
have been watching the First X1 during most
games and several of the boys have said they
love watching and supporting, there big aim
was to wear the First X1 jersey one day. Ryan
Nelsen I am sure would be proud with the
development of football at the college.
Captain George Campbell said
is so excited about heading
away and being part of a great
team.
The team has received
generous sponsorship from KSI
Architectural Cladding and each
boy has had to find a sponsor
for the paper which we really
appreciate.
Jacob Allen states that football
has come a long way since he
was the captain of the first X1 in
2009 and said how lucky all the
players are today to experience
Football in New Zealand.

2017 has been a special year for the First x1, winning
the Minor Premiership and then losing the grand final
in a penalty shoot-out. It’s the first time in the colleges
history that the side has won the minor premiership and
only the second time the side has been seeded number
1 in the region for the premier tournament. St Thomas’s
has only made the premier tournament 5 times in its
history and this is the second time in 3 years so the
programme is working. The team consists of 8 year
11s and 1 year 9 and the rest being year 12/13 which
is extremely exciting for the future. Captain Michael
White who has been in the team since 9 is stoked to
get another crack at Premier tournament, He says this
is the best team he has played with at the college and
excited about tournament. Several of the team made
the Canterbury United youth squad and NZ secondary
schools Trials which is a huge confidence boast. Coach
Jacob Allen says it’s a privilege to look after a talented
bunch of young men who always play their heart out for
the jersey. The school league proved to be a competitive
competition which made each game extremely tough
and made us better throughout the league. The school

“And they have both been

They were both touch judges in
this year’s representative round.
Kasey officiated in the final
Country-City match at Mudgee,
while Belinda became the first
female to officiate in a test match

simply part of our overall emerging
referees squad. Their development
is on track with what we
would expect from our emerging

Mercedes GLA180
forms its own market
• By Ross Kiddie
MERCEDES-Benz’s
popular GLA range has just
been through a substantial
generation change.
Even though the midsize
crossover/sport utility
vehicle retains its original
concept, the shape is a little
more rounded and curvy,
and it gets bold frontal
treatment characterised by
an aggressive new grille.
The newcomer also gets a
specification upgrade and a
cosmetic tidy-up inside.
Four models sit in the
GLA range, there’s the
entry-level 180 this evaluation
focuses on at $60,900,
a 220d at $67,900, a 250
4Matic at $80,000 and
the car popular with the
young generation and
sport-minded drivers – the
AMG45 at $109,700.
I’m due to drive the latter
soon, but in the interim
the GLA180 is still an
impressive hatchback/estate
which, in respect to its
design, is a car that really
forms its own part of the
market.
At just under 4.5m it isn’t
big, although its liftback
rear exposes a healthy load
space and the rear seat
compartment offers comfortable
room for three.
At the other end sits a
1.6-litre, turbocharged
four-cylinder engine, it is
rated at 90kW and 200Nm.
Like most manufacturers
these days, Mercedes-Benz
utilise its turbocharging
techniques not only as a
method of boosting power
outputs to healthy levels,
but also as a way of moderating
fuel usage.
Nevertheless, in GLA180
form it is still a feisty
unit, and considering it’s
only moving a comparatively
lightweight at around
1500kg it’s not working
overly hard to achieve solid
performance and economy.
Mercedes-Benz claim
a standstill to 100km/h
time of 9.2sec, a 200km/h
top speed and a combined
cycle fuel usage average
of 5.7-litres per 100km
(50mpg). These are all
acceptable figures, the latter
correlates well with the
7.6l/100km (37mpg) average
showing on the evaluation
car’s trip computer.
Drive is channelled
through a seven-speed dual
clutch automatic gearbox.
Just by the sheer number
of ratios, power flow
is smooth and the GLA
has been engineered for
a dynamic drive, consequently
the ratios reach a
MERCEDES-BENZ GLA180: Impressive crossover
model.
broad spread, immediate
acceleration is vivid, the
engine is kept lively until
the tall ratios take over and
moderate engine speed
kicks in for the long highway
haul.
I like nimble sports cars,
and I believe you could
draw the GLA180 into that
category. It feels lithe and
energetic and I certainly
see why it is popular.
• Price – Mercedes-
Benz GLA180,
$60,900
• Dimensions – Length,
4424mm; width,
1804mm; height,
1494mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1595cc, 90kW,
200Nm, seven-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.2sec
• Fuel usage –
5.7l/100km
On my usual test run
between the two major
river gorges, the evaluation
car cruised quietly
and effortlessly. It has solid
mid-range power for
overtaking and will lunge
through a highway overtake
(80km/h to 120km/h)
in 5.8sec. The gearbox is
a direct-shift type which
means instant kick-down
and fast changes.
Something Mercedes-
Benz does very well is to
offer the driver optional
chassis and engine management
protocols to suit
different driving styles.
Personally, I preferred
the standard comfort
mode, but there are several
dynamic settings to
enhance engine behaviour
and steering feel.
The GLA180 rides on
sport specification Dunlop
tyres which measure
235/50 x 18in. I’m a big
fan of German rubber, and
while they aren’t low in
profile they promote solid
feel through the steering as
well as direct, accurate corner
turn-in.
The suspension is a fully
independent type, and the
spring and damper rates
are just firmed slightly
away from the soft zone.
Not that there’s a ride quality
compromise, far from
it, the GLA180 pampers
those on board yet it has
the balance so that when
quick corners are presented
the car stays composed and
controlled.
Unlike it’s 250 and AMG
stablemates which get the
Mercedes-Benz 4Matic
system, drive in the 180 is
through the front wheels
only. However, you can
push the latter hard into a
corner and it will respond
with decisive handling
manners almost unrealistic
for a vehicle which sits tall
at 1.5m, yet it isn’t bothered
by gravitational force.
As much as I enjoyed my
high country run in the
GLA180, it must be remembered
it is a practical station
wagon-type vehicle and it
has all of the kit to cater for
the role it is most likely to
face day-to-day.
As you would expect
from Mercedes-Benz,
it has a high level of
specification and, as I
mentioned, nothing has
been changed in terms of
familiarity. The gearshift
lever is still mounted right
on the steering column, the
electric seat adjustments
are still found on the door
and the central display
is controlled by a dial
mounted between the two
front seats.
The test car only had a
few extra inclusions even
though the list of options is
extensive. In terms of value
the GLA180 is a fine piece
of kit for a reasonable price.
All that aside, I eagerly
returned the 180 because
the AMG45 was waiting for
me at changeover. Look for
an evaluation on that wild
child soon.

The Best Kept Secrets
to Selling Your Home
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the
only impression
No matter how good the interior of your home looks,
buyers have already judged your home before they walk
through the door. You never have a second chance to
make a first impression. It’s important to make people
feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the
house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also
important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and
keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by
putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you
never know when your buyer is going to walk through
the door. You have to be available whenever they want
to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape.
Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher
cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure
there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little
inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first
You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling
your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of
remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.
It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops
where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking
price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most
inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new
cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can
present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start
envisioning their own style. If you have a little money
to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why
one? Because when people see one high-end appliance
they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates
the kitchen.
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house
One of the most important things to do when selling
your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal
stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can
imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your
stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,
memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.
Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best
showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.

makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your
money back if you do a huge improvement project before
you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates
that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh
coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,
cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track,
fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts
of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody
is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty
litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes.
It will give buyers the impression that your house is not
clean. If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your
pets around.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.
Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.
They must constantly monitor the multiple listing
service (MLS), know what properties are going on the
market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find
an agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one
has many tools to get your house sold.
Selling Secret #8: Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After location, good
light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they
want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the
windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage
of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let
in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house
bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets
We have achieved
record breaking
prices recently!
Storage is something every buyer is looking for and
can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of
your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there.
Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and
cabinets clean and tidy.
