Rest home boss abuses
pensioners over sign
• By Emily O’Connell
A PROMINENT rest home
owner and businessman verbally
abused his tenants yesterday after
they put up a sign at the complex
complaining about noisy trucks.
John Tooby, owner of the $80
million Lady Wigram Retirement
Village, in Wigram Skies, delivered
a tirade at four elderly residents, including
a woman, using the F-word
frequently and calling them a pack
of bloody kids.
The incident was recorded by a
Star journalist who was at the rest
home to photograph tenants about
their ongoing issues of noisy trucks
on Lodestar Ave.
The elderly residents were clearly
shaken and tried to reason with Mr
Tooby, saying they were his tenants,
but his abuse continued.
Mr Tooby told the pensioners
he was “f*****g pissed off” they
had contacted The Star about the
campaign to stop the trucks.
“Yes, I’m not happy, I’m not putting
up with that s**t.”
He told them the rest home
fence they put the sign up on was
his property and it had to be taken
down.
Mr Tooby has been involved with
building projects since the 1970s,
and set up Golden Healthcare
Group, which operates the Lady
Wigram Retirement Village.
Mr Tooby and Golden Health
Care was nominated as a finalist for
the 2016 EY Entrepreneur of the
Year awards. The company’s website
ironically features one of the elderly
tenants that he abused yesterday on
promotional material.

THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
The Star
News....................................3-28
NO MATTER which way you
look at it, rest home owner John
Tooby was totally out of line
yesterday (see page 1).
As journalists we cover all
sorts of confrontations – and at
times get abused ourselves in
the process. That goes with the
territory.
But pensioners at the Lady
Wigram Retirement Village
didn’t deserve the tirade they got
from the foul-mouthed Tooby
yesterday.
Our photographer who had
gone there at the invitation of
the tenants to photograph the
sign about stopping trucks was
in his words “shocked”.
The photographer has been
around the traps for many years,
and photographed all sorts of
situations.
I recall a job I was once on
with him once when the subject
we wanted to talk to had
thoughts about backing over us
in his bulldozer. So it takes a bit
to rattle the photographer.
Maybe Tooby’s anger was because
he’s been in the construction
game. Guess what you need
to build things? Trucks.

NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED: The highly successful musical Wicked will mark the beginning of Showbiz Christchurch’s
Saunders & Co 2018 Season. ​
Wicked new Showbiz season
CRASH VICTIM DIES
A 95-year-old man involved in
a two car collision in Belfast on
October 6 has died. He was Kevin
Charles Englefield. Mr Englefield
suffered what were termed minor
injuries, but died in hospital last
week.
ONE OF the largest grossing
shows in Broadway history will
finally come to the city next
year.
Showbiz Christchurch will
launch its 2018 season with
the highly-acclaimed musical
Wicked.
Not only will it be the society’s
first show of an ambitious year,
it will be the New Zealand theatre
company premiere.
Since its 2003 Broadway debut
Wicked has surpassed $1 billion
in total Broadway revenue joining
The Phantom of the Opera and
The Lion King as the only Broadway
shows to do so. It is Broadway’s
second highest-grossing
show, behind The Lion King.
Wicked is the backstory of
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
and tells the story of an unlikely
friendship between two witches
– the popular Glinda and a
misunderstood green witch
Elphaba.
The show comes as Showbiz
Christchurch prepares to celebrate
its 80th anniversary next
year.
Previously known as
Christchurch Operatic Society
Incorporated, the society staged
its first show The Belle of New
York in 1938.
In nearly 80 years, more than
2,000,000 people have attended
productions produced by Showbiz
Christchurch.
But Wicked is only the beginning
of a busy season with a
full-scale concert and arguably
one of the greatest musicals of
all time lined up for next year.
EPIC: The cast
from Showbiz
Christchurch’s
second
production
of Les
Miserables
which was
staged in
2001.
A concert featuring composers
Cole Porter and Andrew
Lloyd Webber’s hits, Broadway
Hitmen will open in July featuring
a full orchestra, soloists and
a large chorus.
The year will finish with Les
Miserables, a moving story
about the survival of the human
spirit.
The show is set in 19thcentury
France, where
protagionist Jean Valjean
is released from 19 years of
imprisonment and attempts to
start a new life.
Les Misérables has won more
than 100 international awards
and seen by more than 65 million
people.
In Showbiz Christchurch’s
1994 original production the
show played for four weeks and
put 33,000 people through the
then Theatre Royal.
Christchurch law firm
Saunders & Co are partnering
with Showbiz Christchurch and
have put their name to the 2018
season.
Saunders & Co general
manager John Bates said it was
Showbiz’s proven track record of
delivering a consistent, innovative
and high quality product,
with widespread appeal that
attracted the law firm to the
partnership.
•The Saunders & Co 2018
season commences at the
Isaac Theatre Royal with
Wicked in April. Tickets go
on sale 9am tomorrow and
can be booked at https://
premier.ticketek.co.nz
BYPASS NEARLY COMPLETE
The Western Belfast Bypass
is 95 per cent complete, with
work set to ramp up over the
next few weeks. Traffic will be
switched onto the Bypass early
next month. A northbound lane
will open to traffic first, followed
by a southbound lane about a
week later. The project team will
complete the final parts, such
as connecting the bypass to the
existing road network and doing
surfacing work on the on/off
ramps. All lanes should be open
in December.
DUX BUILDING TO BE SOLD
A restored character building
housing the Dux Central​
restaurant and bar business at
the former Poplar Lane in central
Christchurch will be sold by
developers Patrick Fontein​and
Paul Naylor of Studio D4. They
will use the proceeds for a large
scale inner-city project they
expect to announce over the next
week or two. Pre-earthquakes, the
Dux building at 144 Lichfield St
housed the Twisted Hop.

apologises
•From page 1
Mr Tooby later apologised to
Bob Prescott, one of the pensioners
he abused.
Said Mr Prescott: “I had a verbal
apology sort of and we did end by
shaking hands and I suppose that
means something but it’s best I say
nothing.
“I’m in a difficult situation now
and it’s better I say nothing.”
The Star attempted unsuccessfully
to talk to Mr Tooby after his
tirade. But in a brief interview by
phone earlier in the afternoon he
said: “If I worried about heavy
trucks driving past, I wouldn’t be
in business, so I would go and find
some real news.”
Mr Prescott and other residents
at the retirement village have been
trying to get authorities to stop
trucks using Lodestar Ave since
earlier this year.
The trucks rattle their units
from 4.30am and doors and windows
can;t be opened because of
the noise, he said.
Residents have been to the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board and the police and
Wigram MP Megan Woods about
the problem.
What was said between rest
THIS IS the transcript of the
conversation between Lady
Wigram Retirement Village
owner John Tooby delivered to a
group of his tenants yesterday.
He confronted them after
becoming aware The Star was
photographing the tenants with
the sign they had put up to
try and stop trucks driving on
Lodestar Ave which they have
been campaigning against for
months.
JOHN TOOBY: You’ll not
take it down in a minute, you’ll
take it down right now (he says
of the sign). I’m being rung
up by the bloody press (The
Star)and I’m not standing for
that bloody bit, that bullsh**t.
Alright?
FEMALE RESIDENT: I’m
sorry but we just . . .
MALE RESIDENT: Are you
alright?
JOHN TOOBY: Do you think
you’re going to re-train the
bloody truckies down here? It’s
none of your business, it’s none
of my business.
If you’ve got a problem you
ring the council up and do it
privately.
MALE RESIDENT: We’ve
done that.
STOP: The Lady Wigram protest sign is removed by one of the
residents.
FEMALE RESIDENT: We
have.
JOHN TOOBY: Well take the
bloody sign off my fence.
FEMALE RESIDENT: Well
you go and drive around and
take it off now.
MALE RESIDENT: No, I’ll go
and do it now . . . (inaudible)
JOHN TOOBY: Who said
. . . what a bloody cheek. If you’ve
got a problem, ring me up.
FEMALE RESIDENT: I think
we already rang you.
MALE RESIDENT: The
manager was involved.
JOHN TOOBY: If you’ve got
a problem, you ring me up but
you do not go sticking signs on
my fence.
I’m not being rung up by
the bloody press, I’ve got more
things to do than put up with
that bulls**t.
MALE RESIDENT: We had
your manageress here when we
first were interviewed.
JOHN TOOBY: I’m the
bloody boss round here, alright?
MALE RESIDENT: I’m sorry,
I thought she was allowed to be
here.
JOHN TOOBY: You’re just

Taskforce to
sort central
city problems
• By Andrew King
THREATS OF violence and
intimidation have prompted a a
taskforce to tackle the “homeless
problem” in the city centre.
Central City Business Association
manager Paul Lonsdale said
“we can’t bury our heads in the
sand” when it comes to the issue.
He will meet today with City
Missioner Matthew Mark, city
councillor and Safer Christchurch
chairwoman Anne Galloway,
and city council staff
members Claire Phillips and
Ana Macadie to start looking at
solutions.
Mr Lonsdale will then speak
with police about their plan.
A police satisfaction survey
released yesterday said only 45
per cent of those asked felt very
safe/safe in the city centre at
night, down from 61 per cent in
2014/15. Six-hundred and thirty
three people were surveyed.
“It will work with the agencies
who have the mandate to resolve
these issues, whether it be addiction,
mental health, employment
or housing so we can address the
problem,” Mr Lonsdale said.

Proposal to prevent people sleeping rough
A new proposal has been
presented to the Ministry
of Social Development to
help find accommodation
for the estimated 200
homeless people in the
city. Bridget Rutherford
reports
• By Bridget Rutherford
ABOUT 200 people are “sleeping
rough” in Christchurch at any
one time.
That’s what a street count done
by city council staff has found,
as part the development of a proposal
to help alleviate the city’s
homeless problem.
The count found 84 per cent
slept solely on the street, 75 per
cent were Maori men, 57 per cent
were aged between 25 and 50,
while 38 per cent said leaving
prison was the reason they were
sleeping rough.
The city council, community
housing providers, Government
social services agencies and
organisations working with
the homeless, have developed a
Housing First proposal to help
get more people into warm and
safe accommodation.
It aims to address homelessness
by working on the causes
VULNERABLE: A homeless man makes his way along Selwyn
St with his belongings.

behind it, and has been presented
to the Ministry of Social Development
to progress.
The idea works on the basis it
is easier for people to address
issues such as mental health
or addiction, once they are
housed.
So, if it gets the go-ahead, it
would prioritise getting people
into homes, before providing
wrap-around services and support
for them to deal with those
issues.
If the accommodation they
are put in is not right for that
particular person, an alternate
would be found.
Housing First initiatives have
already been rolled out in Auckland
and Hamilton. In August,
the Government invested $16.5
million in the 2017 budget to
expand Housing First into areas
of high need. As part of the proposal,
Christchurch Methodist
Mission, Emerge Aotearoa and
Comcare Trust would take the
lead, supported by Christchurch
City Mission, Te Whare Roimata
and Collective for the
Homeless.
Methodist Mission
executive director Jill
Hawkey did not want
to comment on the
proposal as it was still
under negotiation with
the Ministry.
Ministry of Social Development
housing deputy chief executive
Scott Gallacher said the
Ministry was pleased to receive
the Christchurch proposal.
“We are now working through
the detail of that proposal. We
are not able to offer any further
comment at this time, but expect
to be able to do so in the near
future.”
Collective for the Homeless coordinator
Brenda Lowe-Johnson
said the Housing First policy
would work.
“I think it’s the answer for
homeless problems down here in
Fire rages, homes at risk
Christchurch.”
She said the street count figures
were what she expected.
“We have to make some desperate
measures, because things
are really bad out there.”
She had travelled to Auckland
with Ms Hawkey to look at how
its Housing First worked to get
ideas for the proposal.
Central Ward city councillor
Deon Swiggs (left)
said he was confident the
Ministry would support
the initiative.
He said homeless people
were vulnerable, and
needed more assistance.
“What you see down
the street is just the tip of the
iceberg,” he said.
“People that fall through the
cracks – we need to be able to
make sure they are looked after.”
A report is expected to go to
the city council’s social, community
development and housing
committee next month, which
would look at time frames, what
role the city council would play,
and further advice.
City council funding for the
initiative would need to be
considered as part of the 2018
long-term plan process.

The Reception to Celebrate Chinese
National Day and welcome Consul General
Wang Zhiijian Held in Christchurch
On 26th September, the Consulate General of China
in Christchurch held the reception to celebrate the
68thAnniversary of founding of the People’s Republic
of China and to welcome Consul General Wang
Zhijian at Chateau on the Park in Christchurch.
Around 200 guests attended the function, including
Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel, Special Advisor
and Director of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Trade in Christchurch Ambassador Phillip Gibson,
several other South Island Mayors, local dignitaries,
friends from various circles and representatives of
Chinese community, enterprises and students in the
consular districts.
Consul General Wang Zhijian noted in his
remarks that since the founding of the People’s
Recublic of China 68 years ago, especially through
39 years of Reform and Opening-up, China has
significantly increased its overall national strength
and remarkably improved people’s living standard.
Since the beginning of this year, China’s economy
has maintained sound and steady performance
with its economic growth rate ranking high among
major economies. The Chinese government has
been promoting innovation-driven development,
pursuing supply-side structural reform, accelerating
the shift in development driving forces, and
pushing forward economic upgrading. Led by the
five concepts of innovation, coordination, green
development, openness and sharing, China aims to
complete building a moderately prosperous society
in all aspects by 2020.
Consul General Wang emphasized that while
speeding up its own development, China has taken
a more active part in international affairs, practicing
Chinese concepts as well as contributing its wisdom
and solutions for global development. More than
140 countries including New Zealand and more
than 80 international organizations attended the
Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation
held in Beijing this May with remarkable outcomes
achieved in policy coordination, connectivity of
infrastructure and facilities, unimpeded trade,
financial integration, and people-to-people bonds.
China would continue to make joint efforts with
international community to build a world of lasting
peace, common security and prosperity which is
also open, inclusive, clean and beautiful.
Consul General Wang spoke highly of the good
momentum of bilateral relationship. He pointed out
that Premier Li Keqiang’s successful visit to New
Zealand this March injected new strong dynamism
to further promoting China-New Zealand
Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and added
more “firsts” to the bilateral relationship. Boosted by
the continuously deepened bilateral ties, the locallevel
interactions between China and South Island
have been uplifted. The friendly city cooperation
has been further enhanced, and the quality and
efficiency of bilateral substantive cooperation
have been improved with an increasing number of
Chinese enterprises taking interest in investing in
South Island.
Consul General Wang said this year marks the 45th
anniversary of the establishment of the China-
New Zealand diplomatic ties, and the bilateral
relationship was at its best now. As the third
Chinese Consul General in Christchurch, he was
keenly aware of the great responsibility and glorious
mission on himself. He was determined to build on
the excellent job of Consul General Jin Zhijian, his
predecessor, and continue the pioneering efforts to
push the exchanges and cooperation between China
and South Island to a new stage. He hoped that
friends from all circles could provide support to the
Consulate and himself. As the Mid-Autumn festival
was drawing near, he also sent festive greetings to all
the compatriots in the consular district on behalf of
the Consulate General.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, on behalf of South Island
mayors, warmly congratulated on Chinese National
Day and welcomed Consul General Wang’s
resumption of office. She pointed out that remarkable
achievements in development have been made since
the founding of new China. Christchurch as well as
the whole South Island attached great importance to
the exchanges and cooperation with China and have
confidence in the important opportunities brought
about by the Belt and Road Initiative. During recent
years, South Island and China have enjoyed flourish
interactions and signed a series of cooperation
agreements in economic and trade, culture and
education as well as innovation, with mutually
beneficially relationship constantly intensified. The
local governments in South Island highly appreciated
the outstanding contributions by the Chinese
Consulate and the previous two Consul Generals for
promoting the bilateral relationship, and expected
to further consolidate the good coordination with
the Consulate General so as to push forward the the
friendly exchanges and cooperation between both
sides in the future.
Ambassador Gibson spoke highly of the historical
leaps China has made in the course of reform and
construction as well as the positive developments
in the New Zealand-China relationship. He noted
that the remarkable achievements in the bilateral
relationship made so far were far above expectation,
and he felt very pleased and encouraged as one
of those directly involved in the process of the
establishment of bilateral ties. Both countries not
only have fostered close economic and trade bonds,
but also enhanced the people to people exchanges
and interactions, exerting positive impact on
the long-term stable development of bilateral
relationship. He pointed out that the friendly
interactions between South Island and China has
entered a stage of rapid development during recent
years with the importance of South Island to the
bilateral relationship further highlighted. The New
Zealand side warmly welcomed Consul General
Wang’s assumption of office and wished him ever
greater success on the good foundation of the
previous two Consul Generals.
The reception was held in a warm and festive
atmosphere, and guests sang high praise for the
achievements of China’s reform and construction,
expressing faith to the prospects of the bilateral
relationship and expectation to jointly promote the
bilateral friendly exchanges and cooperation further
in the future. The photo exhibition held on site
with the theme “2017 China Story” also drew much
attention from the guests present.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Dalziel in US to share quake lessons
• By Bridget Rutherford
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel will
warn two major United States
cities in danger of a mega-quake
about the importance of building
safety laws.
She is visiting Seattle and Portland
this week and next, and will
speak to their emergency management
teams about the dangers
of unreinforced masonry buildings.
They were responsible for
killing 39 people in the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
“They have exactly the same
issues as we do in New Zealand,
built in the same era,” Ms Dalziel
said.
Seattle and Portland are on the
north-west coast of the US, next
to the North Pacific Ocean.
They both sit on shallow faults
and scientists warn the rupture
of the Cascadia subduction zone
off the coast would cause a magnitude
9 megathrust earthquake.
Many say it is overdue.
Unreinforced masonry buildings
don’t have steel reinforcing.
Seattle has more than 1100, while
Portland has 500.
Both are working on proposals
requiring those buildings to
undergo seismic retrofits sooner.
Currently there are requirements
DANGER: Mayor Lianne Dalziel will speak about the February
22, 2011, earthquake in Seattle and Portland, which are at risk
of a mega-quake if the Cascadia subduction zone ruptures.

to strengthen them, but only
when the owner applies to do
other building work.
“They are acutely aware of
the risks and that’s why they’ve
asked me to speak,” Ms Dalziel
said.
Last year, a New Zealand law
change was made requiring owners
of buildings with unsecured

earthquake.

or unreinforced masonry to
strengthen them within 7.5
years.
Ms Dalziel said cities needed
to learn from experiences so they
were not forgotten.
“I’m glad our law was changed
– I wish it hadn’t taken these
deaths to open our eyes to what
we learned 80 years before.”
Ms Dalziel is visiting Seattle as
part of a sister cities trip and has
tied in visits to Portland, Tacoma
and San Francisco.
She said Canterbury Civil Defence
Emergency Management
visited Seattle in 2013, where
they focused on unreinforced
masonry buildings and retrofitting.
Ann Brower also attended. She
was the only survivor when an
unreinforced Colombo St building
collapsed on a bus during the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
killing 12.
Ms Dalziel will head to Montreal
for the ITS World Congress,
where Christchurch’s autonomous
vehicle developments will
feature, before returning for the
city council meeting on November
2.

Wheelie bin markers
• By Bridget Rutherford
SIGNS HAVE been
painted on St Albans
streets to remind residents
where to put their rubbish
bins on collection day.
It comes after people
living on Colombo St were
leaving their bins on the
newly-formed Papanui
Parallel cycleway, forcing
some cyclists to ride on the
road.
The city council has
painted bin stencils along
Colombo and Rutland Sts
to educate residents to put
their bins on the side of the
road, rather than the grass
verge or cycleway.
It has also dropped off
pamphlets showing them
the correct location.
Before that, residents
had not been told where to
put them.
City council acting head
of transport Lynette Ellis
said 260 stencils had been
painted along Colombo St,
while some had also gone
on parts of Rutland St.
“They are not intended
to be repainted as they
should last two to three
years before fading out
and residents will become
familiar with the location
of the bins,” she said.
“Residents were sent a
letter showing the correct
locations and the stencils
are a reminder.”
Ms Ellis said it cost
$3000 to paint the stencils.
At this stage, they were
only on the Papanui
Parallel cycleway route at
specific locations, she
said.
REMINDER: White signs
have been painted on
some St Albans streets
to remind residents not
to put their bins on the
cycleways.
Watch the Timeball grow
YOU DON’T need to
leave the comfort of your
living room to watch the
rebuild of Lyttelton’s iconic
Timeball Tower.
Heritage New
Zealand and Hawkins
Construction are sharing
costs for a time lapse
camera that captures
progress of the build every
10min from 6.30am to
5.30pm.
“We encourage people
to view the time lapse
camera and watch the
rebuild in real time. The
tower rebuild should begin
to become quite noticeable
on Lyttelton’s skyline
in the next few weeks,”
Heritage New Zealand
general manager Nick
Chin said.
He said it will be a
welcome reminder for
locals of the familiar
Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease
landmark that stood at the
site since 1876 but has been
missing since the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
The Timeball Tower will
be finished by the end of
April.
An internal concrete
The Star
shell which will house
the automated timeball
mechanism is currently
being constructed on site.
The stone masonry work
will take place once it is
completed, using as much
of the original heritage
fabric as possible from
the station following its
deconstruction.
“It is really fantastic to
actually see something
physical appear at the
Timeball site again,” Mr
Chin said.
When completed the
tower will overlook the
harbour and township,
with the timeball dropping
at 1pm daily.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Value of city’s art surges to $13.7m
As new buildings pop up in Christchurch after the
earthquakes, the city’s public art collection has
also grown. Bridget Rutherford looks at the new
pieces
THE VALUE of the city’s public
outdoor art has risen to $13.7
million with 19 new pieces added
to the collection in the last eight
years.
The city council has had its
outdoor artwork in public places
revalued by Art + Object. It was
the first valuation since June
2009.
Usually it would have been
done every three years, but the
September 4, 2010, and February
22, 2011, earthquakes meant it
could not happen until now.
Eight years ago, the total value
of the city’s public art was $5.9
million.
City council head of parks
Brent Smith said, since then, 19
new pieces had been added to the
collection.
Some were gifts, while others
were partially paid for by the city
council through its Public Art
Advisory Group alongside other
organisations.
Mr Smith said due to commercial
sensitivity, he could not say
how much each cost, but released
what each was valued at.
The figures show the most valuable
was the Fanfare sculpture
at Chaneys Corner by artist Neil
Dawson at just over $3 million.
It was funded through the
Public Art Advisory Group and
SCAPE Public Art.
That was followed by Antony
Gormley’s STAY, which consists
of two humanoid cast-iron sculptures,
one in the Avon River and
another at the Arts Centre.
They are valued at $956,522.
The city council put about
$500,000 towards the work, with
the Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Authority paying
$338,000.
The $160,000 in extra costs like
transport, legal fees and installation
was paid for through sponsorship.
Critics said the ratepayer
money should have been spent
elsewhere.
Solidarity Grid, a series of 20
lamp posts by Mischa Kuball
along Park Tce, which was
bought by SCAPE and the Public
Art Advisory Group fund, was
valued at $869,565.
The most recent public art
work to be installed was Pupu
Harakeke by artist Virginia
King, which sits in the square of
Ngai Tahu’s King Edward Barracks
development.
Valued at $63,362, Pupu
Harakeke is a large, stainless
steel shell, which has words cut
out of it and rotates on a pole.
It was jointly paid for by Ngai
Tahu, the city council and anchor
tenant EY, and installed in
March.
EY partner Ben Willems
picked the sculpture to help
remember those lost in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
including his wife Lisa Willems.
Lyttelton’s bronze Sled Dog by
Mark Whyte was gifted last year.
It was valued between $32,000-
$42,000.
In 2013, Lyttelton’s Albion
Square got three pieces: The
$10,075 Mandala, the Fifth Ship
Flagpoles valued at $11,342, and
the most valuable, Waharoa, at
$113,043.
Bishopdale Library’s Orauwhata
was installed last year. Its
value was $40,000.
Two others were unveiled
last year at Aranui Community
Centre. Nga Hoe was valued at
$76,900, while the cast concrete
design was $5000.
In 2015, Te Ao Marama, valued
at $21,400, was installed in
Scarborough Park.
Two years prior, the Papanui-
Innes Community Board commissioned
Sam Mahon to create
VALUABLE: Tree Houses for

a sculpture of the late Graham
Condon, which now sits outside
the Graham Condon Sport and
Recreation Centre. It was valued
at $69,565.
Tree Houses for Swamp Dwellers
was valued at $391,304. It
was installed on the corner of
Gloucester and Colombo Sts in
2013.
In 2012, Koauau O Tane
Whakapiripiri Pou and Ohinehou
Pou were both gifted and put
in place in Governors Bay’s Pony
Point Reserve and Lyttelton’s
Sutton Reserve.
Passing Time, the large twisting

than $3 million, was the

and copper boxes outside Ara
Institute of Canterbury, was put
in place in 2011.
Its value was $304,348, while
Serenade in Fendalton Park was
installed in 2010. It was now
valued at $55,000.
Mr Smith said public art was
important because it was an
indicator of cultural well being,
and promoted Christchurch as
a centre of artistic and cultural
excellence.
“It provides for a city environment
enriched by a variety of
works of art in public spaces and
recognition of the excellence and
achievements of local artists.”

From hospital bed to the dressage ring
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
SERIOUSLY ILL Maddie Collins
has bounced back from hospital
to win at an equestrian event.
Last week, The Star reported
Maddie, who needs potentially
lifesaving kidney treatment in
the United States, was in
Christchurch Hospital with
peritonitis – an infection of the
lining around her abdomen.
But shortly after being discharged
from hospital, Maddie
was back out horse-riding her
way to victory in the North Loburn
Equestrian spring dressage
tournament at the weekend.
She won all of her four dressage
events for her level, making
her the champion of the competition.
“I don’t know how she does
it. How she can go from a highdependency
unit to winning a
horse show. Her stamina is just
incredible,” her mother Sarah
Manson Collins said.
“It has absolutely shattered her
but it’s what she wants to be doing.
It’s what keeps her well.”
Maddie’s instructor Cheryl
French, of Carnmore Equestrian,
said Maddie has got huge riding
talent.
“She did very well to last two
days competing and still stayed
bright and cheery and gets on
so well with the other kids that
come to us. She is a real inspiration
to all of us,” she said.
Mrs Manson Collins said
Maddie will continue with heavy
treatment for the next two weeks
and has had to go back into
hospital most days for blood tests
since she was discharged.
“As she is getting older, she
is more aware of how timeconsuming
and how hard it is to
care for someone on dialysis that
is medically fragile,” she said.
Mrs Manson Collins said the
infection made the need for a
transplant more urgent.
“She just needs a kidney. We’re
just trying to sit tight here and
hope it happens,” she said.
Last week marked five years
since Maddie’s father, Adam
Collins, donated one of his kidneys
to her. Five hours after the
operation, her body rejected it.
Her family have been fundraising
to get Maddie a kidney
transplant in the United States,
where the treatment offered
would make it less likely a
donated kidney would be rejected.
But the treatment would cost
more than $700,000, and is also
conditional on Maddie’s brother,
Tomas, donating one of his
kidneys to an American patient
as part of a “paired exchange”
programme.
Mrs Manson Collins said she

hoped Maddie’s story would
inspire people to become organ
donors.
Next Friday, St Thomas’ of
Canterbury College and Villa
Maria College will be joining

Fire rages, homes at risk
Residents lose out to quake investors
• By Gabrielle Stuart
CANTABRIANS became
“collateral damage” postearthquake
as the Government
focused on telling positive stories
to attract investors, an academic
has said.
Victoria University of Wellington
architecture head of school
Morten Gjerde wrote a research
paper on Government
communication
after the
earthquakes for
an international
conference in
China last year.
Morten
Gjerde
He said in the
paper that the
Government
was “more eager to tell positive
stories about recovery to national
and international audiences than
they have been to keep residents
informed”.
“It would be fair to say that
local residents have been
collateral damage so far during
this recovery as leaders have
sought to curry favour with local
and international investors in
order to help drive it,” the paper
said.
But former Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Authority chief
executive Roger Sutton strongly
disagreed. He said communicating
with investors had only been
a small part of CERA’s focus.
“If I think about my time
there, I spent 95 per cent with
real Christchurch people and
five per cent with that kind of
person,” he said.
He said CERA “fronted a lot”
to Cantabrians, including at
some hostile meetings.
“We held a meeting with Port
Hills residents over the zoning,
and I think a lot of Government
organisations would never have
had the courage to front there,”
he said.
But he agreed that CERA
could have communicated better
about rebuild problems.
“It’s difficult for the
Government to give bad news,”
he said.
People in leadership roles
naturally wanted to tell the
positive stories of successes, he
said.
He said he had personally been
told off for doing that by Mayor
Lianne Dalziel when he was chief
executive of Orion before he
moved to CERA.
He had been making a

have become collateral damage during the earthquake
recovery as leaders favour local and international investors.

statement about power cuts
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, and had focused on
the 92 per cent of Canterbury
homes to which the company
had returned power, he said.
“I remember Lianne rang me
up and said, Roger, don’t be such
a moron. Don’t talk about the 92
per cent, talk about the eight per
cent and when they will get their
power on,” he said.
City councillor Deon Swiggs,
who started the Rebuild
Christchurch website after the
earthquakes to help people
access information, agreed with
the research findings.
He said CERA had not
communicated enough
information to residents and
had tried to only tell the positive
stories.
“People lost trust very early
on with Government in terms of
what they were being told.” Dr
Gjerde’s paper also criticised the
slow pace of the rebuild, saying
it had been skewed in favour of
those who were wealthy.
“Those living on the city’s
more affluent western suburbs
were affected initially by the
quakes far less than those
living to the east. Since then,
money and other
resources have
flowed much
more freely in the
west which has
seen these areas
return quickly to
pre-earthquake
conditions,
whereas those
Roger
Sutton
living in the poorer central and
eastern suburbs continue to
battle toward recovery with far
fewer resources to call upon,” he
said.
Dr Gjerde said his conclusions
were based on Christchurch
research findings and
comparisons with disaster
recovery processes in other
countries. He hoped the paper,
called Building Back Better,
could be used to improve future
disaster response processes.

Efforts in beautifying
city recognised
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE PERSON tasked
with keeping Christchurch
beautiful has been
recognised with a national
award.
Linda Keall won the
Ruud Kleinpaste Award
on Friday at the Beautiful
Awards 2017.
It recognises a Keep New
Zealand Beautiful member
whose efforts go above and
beyond to enhance the
organisation’s mission.
“It was a big surprise, it
was really lovely,” she said.
Ms Keall is Keep
Christchurch Beautiful’s
manager, and has been in
the part-time position for
about eight years.
She co-ordinates cleanup
events and volunteers,
helps with graffiti eradication
and funding, and runs
environment education
programmes in schools.
The former chemistry
teacher said she particularly
enjoyed working in
schools, acknowledging
the work people did,
and helping people get
involved.
When the Ellerslie
International Flower Show
was running in Christchurch,
Keep Christchurch
Beautiful entered in the
flowerbed display.
Ms Keall said she was
particularly proud of an
entry with Lincoln University
students, which won
bronze in the show’s last
year in 2014.
She said everyone could
take some responsibility in

“We all live here, it’s for
all of us if it’s nice. It’s really
easy and it doesn’t take
much energy.”
Masterton was named
the Most Beautiful City at
the awards ceremony in
Hastings, which is based
on environmental action,
heritage, community involvement,
and tourism.
But Ms Keall said it was
good to be able to recognise
different groups and
places in the awards.
“For me, I really like that
it gets shared around.”
Ms Keall’s award is
named after Ruud Kleinpaste,
a broadcaster and
gardener known as The
Bug Man.
She could not attend
the awards ceremony on
Friday because she was
recovering from the flu.
Ms Keall said in her
spare time, she enjoyed
spending time in her
garden, with family, and
walking her two labradors
Kenya and Eva.
Originally she fostered
them before they trained
to become guide dogs, but
they were not suitable, so
they came back to live with
the family, she said.
Keep New Zealand
Beautiful chairwoman
Alexandra Davids said the
organisation was lucky to
have Ms Keall.
“We are looking at really
pushing the awards
throughout the country
because there are so many
amazing people out there
doing fantastic work in
their communities.”

Flooding continues to be an issue
THIS WEEK while coalition
talks have been continuing
in Wellington, I have been at
talks of a different kind.
On Monday, along with
Deputy Prime Minister and
Climate Change Minister
Paula Bennett, I set off to the
international climate talks in
Fiji.
This was a pre-meeting of a
larger meeting in November
when the countries of the
world will come together to try
and accelerate action around
the Paris Climate Agreement.
For the participants from
over 70 countries, meeting on
a Pacific Island brought into
sharp relief the need for urgent
action on climate change. With
the Pacific Ocean literally lapping
at the edge of the conference
venue and memories of
the devastating Cyclone Winston
still fresh in the minds
of our hosts, the issues of sea
level rise and cyclones were at
the fore in everyone’s thinking.
The mood of the meeting
was clear – there needs to be
action now to put the words
of the Paris Agreement into
action.
But how climate change will
alter things is not just an issue
for other parts of the world.
There are real impacts and
issues that we have to consider
much closer to home in our
own city and region.
Increased flood events and
associated drainage are going
to be an ongoing issue.
Likewise, how the climate is
changing things must also be a
consideration in any decisions
we make about future uses of
the residential red zone.
Events such as last summer’s
Port Hills fires will become
more frequent as our part of
the world gets drier and this
will also have an impact for
farming and food production
in our region.
Getting governments from
around the world to agree on
the need for global action on
climate change was remarkable.
Now the challenge is
getting actions in place.
It is not just governments
who will make the difference
– it is businesses, cities and of
course all of us.

Fire rages, homes at risk
LAST YEAR was
the 35th anniversary
of the sister city
relationship between
Christchurch and
Seattle.
In 2016, I welcomed
a citizen delegation,
led by the Seattle/Christchurch
Sister City Board chairwoman
Rachel Jacobsen. They came in
February so they could join with
us for the commemoration of the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
and the dedication of the National
Earthquake Memorial.
I made a commitment to
honour the relationship by making
the reciprocal visit this year.
I am taking the opportunity to
visit Portland, Tacoma and San
Francisco at the same time and,
following the visit, will attend
the ITS World Congress in
Montreal, where Christchurch is
being featured as a city through
the efforts of HMI and the autonomous
vehicle developments
in Christchurch.
I am also using the opportunity
of the sister city visit to
Seattle to speak to their office of
emergency management (and
also to the Portland equivalent)
about our experience, with a
particular focus on unreinforced
masonry buildings.
Lianne Dalziel
I am always pleased to speak to
such groups, because I believe we
can learn a lot from each other;
and for those of us who have experienced
disaster, we know how
much others want to reach out
and help in times of need.
It is not often that we get a
chance to speak before something
happens. I hope that my
message can help them choose
a path that would minimise the
impact of an earthquake should
they experience anything of
the magnitude we have been
through.
I have spoken before about the
need to learn the lessons of our
experience and to build them
into our regulatory frameworks.
It is so vital to learn the lessons
of each experience and embed
them, because people forget.
I always remind people that
what occurred in Christchurch
on February 22, 2011, was not
without precedent as far as unreinforced
masonry buildings were
concerned.
In February 1931, 80 years
before, many of the first people
who died that day as a result of
the Hawkes Bay earthquake,
were those who ran out of the
buildings and were crushed in
the rubble of unreinforced masonry.
We gained a lot as a country
from this and subsequent
events. We established a national
disaster insurance scheme – the
Earthquake Commission – our
building code was introduced
and the Standards Council was
set up. But somehow the risks
associated with unreinforced
masonry, parapets and decorative
features were not highlighted
for action. And we continued to
live with the risk that they posed.
Buildings with unreinforced
masonry were responsible for the
deaths of 39 people in the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
I’m glad our law was changed
– I wish it hadn’t taken these
deaths to open our eyes to what
we learned 80 years before. I
hope I can deliver a positive
message to our sister city Seattle,
whose citizens stood by us at our
time of need.

John Rosanowski
Teaching, writing and kicking goals
John Rosanowski has
released his controversial
book about the 1866
Maungatapu murders.
Bridget Rutherford spoke
to him about teaching
at Aranui High, rugby
league and why he
believes two innocent
men were hanged for
murder
Why did you decide to write
Treachery Road?
Well, I was reading some old
papers on Papers Past about 10
years ago and I came across part
of the trial for the Burgess gang
murders in the Wakamarina
Valley near Canvastown,
Marlborough, in 1866. As I was
reading the evidence, I thought
‘there’s something funny
going on here’. I began reading
the whole trial, and the clash
between the police informer
Thomas Sullivan and the gang
leader Richard Burgess. Sullivan
said the murders were done
by Burgess, Thomas Kelly and
Philip Levy. Sullivan said he was
merely the lookout. Burgess said
the murders were the work of
Sullivan on his own. The jury
accepted Sullivan’s version and
the other three were hanged. I
set out to answer the question:
Were innocent men executed?
I’ve discovered Sullivan was a
magnificent liar; it seems clear
two innocent men (Kelly and
Levy) were hanged. They went
to their death calling Sullivan to
come clean, even as they stepped
onto the gallows.
Do you see your new book as
being controversial?
It certainly is because there
have been about a dozen pieces
of writing on it. Wayne Martin,
a Christchurch writer, published
a book on the murders. Mine
is controversial because it
contradicts his version. I’ve
found various pieces of evidence

Historian John
Rosanowski

his new book
Treachery
Road, which
suggests two
innocent men
were hanged
for murder.

HUNTER
he wasn’t privy to. No-one else
has located the evidence I’ve got
from Tasmanian convict conduct
register archives. The state
government in Australia has
put all its convict information
online. I’ve been able to trawl
through mountains of evidence
from those sources. Australia has
also started putting its papers
online. From that, it’s clear the
evidence Sullivan gave about
himself in court was false. He
didn’t come out on the Canton
in 1840, he was never a convict
overseer, and he wasn’t married
in a big cathedral in Melbourne,
as he claimed, by the bishop.
Why did you get into
researching and writing books
and novels?
It’s part of my background. I
went to school in Reefton, then
went to study at Canterbury
University where I did my thesis
on the midland railway – that’s
the TranzAlpine now – and the
political shenanigans prior to it
being built. That was supervised
by Philip Ross May, the author
of the classic history on the
West Coast gold rushes. That
started me off. I went teaching
and taught at Aranui High
School. During that time, I cowrote
seven history texts with
my colleagues. I went on to the
head office in Wellington and
was involved in running school
certificate. I was chief examiner
at Aranui High prior to that.
Why did you go teaching?
My father and grandfather
were coal and gold miners.

Our People
Former teacher explores New Zealand history
I was at Aranui High for nearly
20 years and had a spell as acting
inspector of schools, which was
a good experience. I was also
part of the advisory service for
history teaching with teachers in
other schools.
Why did you stay there for so
long?
I was working with some very
talented people; it was a very
good school and it was a lot of
fun. There were very able people
at Aranui High. Keri Hulme, the
author of The Bone People, was
a librarian during her time at
Aranui, and several people went
into newspapers. Others went
into the diplomatic service.
Was it sad seeing Aranui
High close to make way for
Haeata Community Campus?
I was sad it closed. But on the
other hand, I’m not pessimistic
of the chances of the new arrangement.
And I hear you spent a bit
of time in Papua New Guinea.
How did that come about?
I had a bit of an OE, my wife
and I and our two children.
There was an opportunity to
teach in Madang and, during
that time, I was captain and
coach of the Madang rugby
league team and played in various
tournaments. I represented
Papua New Guinea on their Australian
tour. I was in Papua New
Guinea for a year or two and,
from there, went to Mt Isa in
Australia. I took up the position
of captain/coach for the Christian
Brothers Club and our team
won the Foley Shield, which is a
bit like the Ranfurly Shield for
North Queensland. They got me
a job in the school. We stayed a
year at Mt Isa and were due to
come back because we were having
our third child. I went back
teaching at Aranui. Living in Mt
Isa was very interesting. Being a
single purpose town, there were
a lot of young men who did a
great deal of drinking, gambling
and fighting. Because there were
so many young men there, the
RESEARCH:

Rosanowski

of books,
most of
which were
based on the
history of the
West Coast.
rugby league was very strong.
Have you done other
coaching?
The university club was in
need of a coach so I gave them
a hand for three or four years.
I was busy with research. I did
coach the New Zealand universities
team on three internal tours.
There are a lot of talented players
in the universities.
You played for Linwood
didn’t you?
I started out playing for Shirley
initially. I went to Linwood
because Lory Blanchard was
coaching. He was the New
Zealand coach. I probably played
for them for nearly 10 years. We
won a couple of premierships in
that time.
I hear you were a prolific goal
kicker?
I will say – although I certainly
kicked a few goals in my time
– when you’re playing for a top
team, they score very close to the
post and more often it means
you end up getting a lot easier
kicks.
Do you still go along and
watch?
I usually get over and watch
Linwood. I went to the final
at Linfield Park – it was a very
good match. I think the right
team won (Linwood 34-20),
but Hornby put on a very good
showing.
What other books have you
written?
I’ve got two main ones. The
Bottled Lightning: The Story of
the Reefton Electric Light and
A History of the West Coast of
the Southern Alps. I’ve written
various others, such as the cover
story for the Listener for the New
Zealand electricity centennial.
I guess your interest in the
West Coast comes from growing
up there?
Yes, I’ve never really left it if
you know what I mean. People
from the West Coast, they never
lose their loyalty. My people
were early New Zealand pioneers
who came from Poland in 1875
and landed at Jackson Bay in
Westland. I tell people the Rosanowskis
were brought in to bring
a bit of Polish.
What do you like to do in
your spare time?
I’m a member of the Riccarton
Racecourse Bowling Club. And I
have sons, daughters and grandchildren.
I am actually working
on another book, it’s another
goldfield murder mystery called
Murder on Broadway, which is
Reefton’s main street. It is fiction
and is set in Reefton in 1877. It
involves a young naive police
constable left in charge of the
town over Christmas and New
Year. It is filled with crooked
publicans and cops, cheerful exconvicts,
hard-nosed prostitutes,
white collar criminals and a
team of acrobats. It’s not very far
away from publication.
What do your kids do now?
My son Jonathan is a computer
programmer for Trimble
Navigation, Anna is a nurse at
Christchurch Hospital and Sarah
is currently at Oxford University
writing her master’s thesis in patent
law and computer software.
I’ve got six grandchildren. One,
Emily, is in the New Zealand
roller derby team. She’s going to
Manchester next year with the
team.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Experts ride in for cycle congress
TRANSPORT experts from
around the world are gathering
in Christchurch this week to
share ideas about the benefits
cycle networks bring to
communities.
It’s the first time the Asia
Pacific Cycle Congress has been
held outside Queensland, and
Christchurch is the perfect location
for delegates to consider
how to harness new technology
and innovation to deliver cycleways
as a core part of transport
infrastructure.
For Steve Hoyt-McBeth, a
programme manager at the
Portland Bureau of Transportation
and one of the congress’
keynote speakers, building good
infrastructure is critical to getting
people on their bikes. While
that sounds simple, it is anything
but easy.
“We’ve developed our transportation
systems focused on the
automobile and changing that
takes money and political will.
At a high level, it’s pretty simple:
The places with the best bicycle
infrastructure have the highest
cycling rates. Where it’s more
comfortable to drive than bike,
the bike rates are low.”
Mr Hoyt-McBeth has helped
revolutionise cycle commuting in
Portland, United States, over the
past 20 years. He will be sharing
his experiences at the Asia
Pacific Cycle congress today.
“Building protected bike lanes
is a lot more expensive and
requires a lot more trade-offs.
So I would say that creating a
network of bikeways is important
to grabbing that first wave
of cyclists and the protected bike
lane network is paramount if you
want to see a true transformation.”
“In Portland, we have a strong
community culture around
bikes. On Fridays volunteers
serve donuts and coffee to people
biking into downtown. We
have an amazing 21-day bike
festival, Pedalpalooza, at the end
of spring with more than 100
different themed bike rides. It’s
completely volunteer-run and
underscores the strength of the
grassroots,’’ Mr Hoyt-McBeth
said.
“I can’t wait to . . . experience
your cycleways and learn from
the locals. Getting to speak at the
Asia Pacific Cycling Congress
is a tremendous opportunity
for me. As they may apply to
Christchurch, I hope to share
lessons from Portland.”
The city council is building
a network of major cycle
routes over the next seven years,
connecting suburbs, shopping
areas, businesses, schools and
sporting destinations.
There has already been an
increase in the number of people
using the cycleways that have
been completed.
About the Asia Pacific
Cycle Congress:
•Christchurch is currently
hosting the congress which
started on Tuesday and
finishes tomorrow.
•It is the first time the congress
has been held outside
Queensland.
•The programme features
international experts in
topics such as community
engagement, supporting,
urban planning and design,
safety, health and wellness.
•Speakers include Phillip
Darnton, executive director
of the Bicycle Association
in the United Kingdom,
and Steve Hoyt-McBeth,
programme manager of the
Portland Bureau of Transportation
and manager of
the renowned BIKETOWN
bike share project. Other
invited speakers have travelled
from across Europe,
Australia and New Zealand.

Delicious berries
If you want to grow berries, but aren’t sure which ones or how,
Hannah Zwartz has a place to start
THERE ARE many things to love
about growing berries.
They’re compact plants,
squeezing against fences, into
large tubs or otherwise unused
corners.
Many tolerate part-shade,
which is useful on an urban
section, and makes them great
companion plants forming the
understorey or canopy of a ‘food
forest’.
Unlike fruit trees, they crop
within the first year of planting,
and of course, they taste all the
more delicious when freshly
picked.
‘FEET IN THE SHADE, HEADS
IN THE SUN’
Many berries are found
naturally in deciduous
woodlands, lifting themselves
into sunlight to flower and fruit,
but spreading their roots in deep,
damp leaf litter. They need sun
to fruit well, but they dislike dry,
baking heat, preferring a coolish
root run that never totally dries
out. Too much humidity or
waterlogging are not good either.
Ideal conditions for most berries
would be free-draining soil with
plenty of compost and leaf mould,
deeply mulched with rotting
woodchip.
WHERE CAN BERRIES
GROW?
The ultimate garden accessory
must be a walk-in netting-covered
cage (birds love ripe berries
almost as much as children do).
Failing that, those with smaller
gardens can use a fence or wall to
support berry canes, with netting
attached to drop down and cover
ripening fruit. There’s a berry
to suit most niches – even the
smallest garden has room for a
tub or barrel with strawberries,
raspberries or boysenberry canes.
STRAWBERRIES
A bowl of fresh-picked
strawberries for summer
breakfasts is an achievable luxury;
as well as being delicious these
berries are rich in vitamins and
iron. Ancestral strawberries were
woodland plants, fruiting early,
before the leaf canopy closed over
for summer. Modern strawberries
are bred for later fruiting, and
need lots of sun to fruit well,
but still hate to dry out. For a
longer season, plant more than
one variety. Prepare a bed with
plenty of compost; planting along
a ridge above a ditch makes for
easy watering. A nice deep mulch
of pine needles is said to improve
the flavour while also deterring
snails. Strawberries also do well
in large pots, which can be moved
into the garden’s sunniest spots as
berries are ripening.
Plants might be short-lived,
producing their best crops for
just a few years, but you can
keep propagating runners for an
ongoing supply of new plants. Peg
the first runner into a pot, to be
cut off and replanted once roots
have grown. (Those further down
the line will never crop as well.)
Replanting these runners every
winter or spring, while digging
out the oldest plants, keeps the
bed producing well. Experts
recommend six to seven plants
per person.

Wild strawberry
Fragaria vesca has smaller (pea-sized)
fruits, not so juicy but very sweet and
flavoursome, borne year-round. It can
handle more shade and makes a great
ground cover under fruit trees or roses,
or scrambling along the edges
of paths. This is one type of
strawberry that propagates
itself from seed, but
being shallow-rooted
it’s easily removed if
it starts infringing on
other territories.
RASPBERRIES
Raspberries spread
by suckering and once
planted are difficult to
dig out. A good position
could be against an eastfacing
wall that gets morning
sun, planted at the feet of deciduous
trees such as apples, or as part of a
hedgerow with other shrubs and berries.
They can happily coexist with annual
companions such as borage and calendula.
Remove perennial weeds like buttercup
or couch before planting, as you won’t be
able to do so once the raspberries’ roots
have developed. Thick mulching protects
the root zone and helps keep weeds away.
About two canes per person is
recommended; plant them about 80cm
apart. You can plant closer but they will
very quickly fill in the gaps, because
raspberries sucker prolifically, hence the
tradition of growing them in narrow
hedges or along wire frames (this also
helps with bird netting). Unwanted
suckers that push their way into paths can
be removed or mown over.
BLACKBERRIES AND
THEIR HYBRIDS
While taking up less
space than a fruit tree,
these need at least 2m
to spread out. Canes
can grow on a sunny
fence or wall; against
a house, shed or
garage; along wires
strung between posts
or waratahs; against a
trellis; even up a pillar or
into a fruit tree if space is
lacking. Blackberriesm (left)
could also grow in a large container
such as a half-barrel, if well fed and watered.
I would always choose thornless types.
Try ‘Navaho’ or ‘Black Satin’. Loganberries
are a cross between blackberries and
raspberries. ‘Waimate’ is a thornless one.
Boysenberries are hybrids with large, tasty
fruits. ‘Thornless Jewel’ is a good variety.
All these have perennial root systems,
bearing biennial stems. In the first year,
canes grow long and in the second year
they bear flowers and fruit on small sidebranches
(laterals).

Fire rages, homes at risk
type to suit most niches
GOOSEBERRIES
These seem to do best for South
Island gardeners. If you live in a
warmer climate, try them against
an east-facing wall to avoid the
drying afternoon sun. If space is
short they can be trained against
walls, espaliered, or even grown
in containers as long as they
don’t dry out. Each plant needs
about 1-1.5m. As with their close
relations the currants, plenty
of compost or manure keeps
plants strong. A regular dressing
of wood ash or potash ensures
good fruiting, and a deep layer
of mulch keeps roots cool and
moist and helps avoid weeds
(gooseberry plants are prickly,
so the less weeding needed the
better).
BLUEBERRIES
Blueberries are quite particular
about their growing conditions,
but get those right and they
can do well across the country.
Part of the trick is choosing the
right variety, and this depends
on which part of the country
you are in. Some are deciduous
and need winter chilling – just
to be confusing, these are
called ‘northern’ types (from
the northern, cooler states of
America) while rabbiteye and
Loganberry
‘southern’ types, bred for warmer
climates, suit northern parts
of New Zealand better (from
Waikato northwards). Most
varieties also do best with a
different sort nearby to crosspollinate
them.
In their native habitat
blueberries grow on riverbanks
and on islands in peat bogs, with
plenty of sun, and constant access
to water without being actually
waterlogged. If you don’t happen
to have a peat bog with an island
in your backyard, try to keep the
soil moist but not soggy. If you
are gardening on sand or clay, the
best bet may be to grow blueberry
plants in a large tub or barrel

Gooseberry
filled with compost-rich, acid soil
and well mulched with woodchip
to keep the shallow roots from
drying out.
Blueberries don’t need a lot of
feeding; compost and mulch will
generally supply their needs. The
only pruning needed is in winter
to cut out some of the oldest,
twiggy growth to encourage new
branches to sprout.
BOYSENBERRY
Walter Knott named the
boysenberry after Rudolph
Boysen. Exactly how Rudolf
Boysen came across the
boysenberry remains a mystery,
but it is said to have been
OPEN 9am - 5.30pm
cultivated by cross-pollinating
the flowers of three other
berries: raspberry, loganberry
and blackberry. Propagate
boysenberries by cuttings, or by
layering. The fruit don’t have a
long shelf life, but it’s not difficult
to ensure they are consumed
quickly. Boysenberries enjoy
having some support, so give
them a trellis fence to grow along.
CRANBERRY
The cranberry is native to
North America and can be found
Tayberry
in sandy bogs in the United
States and Canada. These bogs
were created by glacial deposits.
German and Dutch settlers began
calling it ‘crane berry’, because the
flower looks like a crane’s head
and bill. Cranberries are very tart
raw, so they’re mostly used in
drinks and sauces, or sweetened
and dried. The cranberry looks
very similar to the Chilean guava
(or NZ cranberry), but they are
not the same. Cranberries like
sandy acidic soil with added peat.
LOGANBERRY
James Harvey Logan discovered
this berry in California, back
in 1880. It’s a cross between the

to produce hybrids such as
the tayberry, boysenberry and
‘Kotata’ blackberry.
TAYBERRY
The tayberry is yet another
hybrid berry, but one for which
we have the Scots to thank. A
cross of the ‘Aurora’ blackberry
and raspberry, it was named after
the Tay River in Scotland (where
it was bred). It is a good berry
for jam making. Give tayberries
a good mix of compost and
manure when planting. Continue
to mulch them with manure and
compost every year afterwards
and they’ll thank you with
luscious-tasting berries.
WHAT IS A BERRY?
Botanically speaking, a berry
is “a fleshy fruit without a stone
produced from a single flower
containing one ovary”. This means
grapes, tomatoes, avocados,
watermelon and bananas are
‘berries’, but blackberries and
raspberries are not – botanically,
they are ‘aggregate fruits’.
Commonly, however, a berry is any
small, edible fruit – usually small,
round, juicy and brightly coloured.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Easy care and colour with coreopsis
• By Henri Ham
COREOPSIS ARE a fantastic
plant to grow at this time of
year.
Planted now, they will thrive
in the summer sun – which,
fingers crossed, should arrive at
some point.
Their love of the sun makes
them super easy-care. Once
planted, unless there’s a
drought, they don’t need much
watering at all.
Three varieties which
produce, bright, yellow, sunny
flowers are early sunrise, rising
sun and sunburst.
Early sunrise has green leaves
with golden-yellow, semidouble
flowers. Rising sun
produces double golden-yellow
flowers with red eyes. Sunburst
also produces golden-yellow,
semi-double and double flowers.
All three make great borders
and lovely cut flowers.
Once you’ve got your plants,
be sure to grow them in the
sunniest spot in your garden
around 40-50cm apart.
Give them a light watering
and then let them do their
thing.
When they start flowering
BRIGHT: Early sunrise has golden-yellow, semi-double flowers.
be sure to deadhead (remove
the dead flower heads) to encourage
them to keep producing
flowers.
And in late summer you can
either leave them to do their
thing or cut them back by
one-third to get them flowering
again.
Not all varieties of coreopsis
are perennials, but many are,
so every two to three years in
early spring you can dig up the
plants, divide them and expand
your garden.
BOLD: Sunburst (top) produces double
and semi-double flowers. Rising
sun (above) has red eyes.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
STUFFED APPLE
CRUMBLES
Ingredients
200g Gingernuts
4 Eve apples
100g Butter, preferably unsalted,
at room temperature
Directions
Heat the oven to 180 deg C.
Place the biscuits in a sealable
plastic bag, seal and roll a
wooden rolling pin firmly over
the package to crush the biscuits
finely.
Alternatively crush them in a
food processor.
Cut a thick slice off the top of
the apple and set aside. These
will be the chapeaux — hats.
Using an apple corer or a
teaspoon, dig out the flesh from
the centre of the apple, leaving
a thin edge of apple around the
inside and base.
Discarding any core pieces,
chop the flesh finely.
Mix together the biscuit
crumbs, butter and chopped
apple to make a soft mix. Divide
the mix evenly among the apples,
packing it in firmly. Sit the hats
back on top.
Place the apples on a baking
paper-lined tray or in a shallowsided
ovenproof dish.
Bake for 15-20min or until the
apples have softened. Serve with
cream or hot custard.
BARBECUE BANANA WITH
CHOCOLATE
Ingredients
4 large Bananas
100g Chocolate buttons
1 Ltr Vanilla ice cream, to serve
½ cup Caramel sauce
1 packet Sliced almonds, to
garnish
Directions
Remove the bananas from
their skin. Cut along one side
of the banana, making sure you
don’t cut all the way through to
the other side.
Poke in the chocolate buttons
along the cut.
Put each banana on to a
sheet of foil and fold the edges
together to seal into a parcel.
Bake on the barbecue for 12min
or until all of the chocolate has
melted.
Gently open each banana and

on top followed by a drizzle of
the caramel sauce and sprinkle
of nuts.

Unimog tour into the West Coast wilderness
• By Mike Yardley
OCCUPYING THE northern
end of the West Coast, tap into
the heart of Buller with local tour
operator, Out West Tours.
They run a variety of off road
tours in superbly reconditioned
Unimogs, to the likes of the
Denniston Plateau, Warren
Stratford’s astonishing John
Deere Museum and deep into the
heartland.
Owned and operated by Mickey
and Doreen Ryan, their newest
offering is a six-hour tour, called
Johnny’s Journey, mixing an assortment
of coastal gems with the
wilderness.
Mickey Ryan is the quintessential
nuggety Coaster, who regaled
me with an unfurling spool of
vivid stories and unvarnished
insights, in disarmingly honest
fashion.
We admired lancewood trees
growing on the roadside, which as
Mickey explained, evolved so that
their leaves were protected against
the roaming moa. We popped
into Charleston, which during the
1860s gold rush, groaned with 80
hotels, quenching the thirst of the
hordes of gold-diggers labouring
along the Nile River.
New Zealand’s first toll bridge
was erected across the river by
Constant Bay, just one gem in a
necklace of stunning little bays
off the tourist trail. A paddlesteamer
formerly plied the river
and Constant Bay was once used
as a harbour, with ships squeezing
through a narrow gap between
the bay’s rocky headlands.
I marvelled over the quaint old
harbour master’s house at Joyce
Bay, and collected smooth quartz
stones, like readymade jewellery,
from the shoreline of Ladies Bay.
Then we headed inland into
Madmans Valley, where Mickey
led me to the most dramatic limestone
cliff gushing with a water
spout, which has been nicknamed
Cowpiddle Bluff.
Mickey recently built a magnificent
flight of wooden steps
to reach this striking formation.
Heading even deeper into
the heartland, we forded some
FORMATION: Cowpiddle Bluff is a limestone cliff with a gushing water spout. (Right) – Johnny Currie at one with nature in the
Awakari Valley.
NATURE:

Rock
formations.

streams and headed over a saddle
into the gob-smacking bucolic
splendour of Awakari Valley, a
sprawling rainforest valley neighbouring
Paparoa National Park.
The panoramic ridgeline lookout
is mouth-watering.
It’s the world’s biggest privately
owned rimu forest, under the
purview of a true living West
Coast legend, Johnny Currie.
He’s 76, as fit as a buck rat with
the mind of a steel trap, and a bit
like a cross between the Wizard of
Christchurch and Barry Crump.
He’s done it all. Farming, logging,
deerstalking, mining, caving
and tour guiding. He’s the bushman’s
bushman. And the 1800ha
of this valley is his realm. An immense
Garden of Eden previously
owned by a timber company,
which sold it to Johnny in 1980,
for $26,000.
Johnny’s family connection
with the Awakari Valley, reaches
back more than a century, and he
lives in a 50-year-old bush hut,
not dissimilar to what his forebears
sheltered in.
Before descending into the base
of the valley, Mickey pin-pointed
some of the scores of wild red
deer, free-roaming across the
terrain. Thirty years ago, Johnny
prohibited deer hunting from the
valley, dedicating his kingdom
of regenerating native forest and
tinkling gin-clear streams as a
wild deer reserve.
Johnny lives completely off the
grid. No power. No running water,
although though the pristine
Awakari River runs right outside
his tin hut.
I chatted to Johnny alongside
his cracking wood fireplace, about
his poacher-turned-game-keeper
conversion from clear-felling
logger to forest protector, the
surprises kept coming.
We strolled through radiant
green valley glades, to admire an
ancient Maori cave bordering the
river. Did you know that there
are Pancake Rocks beyond the
feted formations at Punakaiki?
I certainly didn’t. Johnny’s got a
towering chain of Pancake Rock
formations, rising up from the
Thursday October 19 2017
Fire rages, homes at risk
valley bed. He’s cleaned a lot of
them, so they shimmer like vast
ivory-coloured stacks of limestone.
The only way you can access the
Awakari Valley, meet Johnny and
marvel over his bewitching paradise
is with Out West Tours. It is
the sole operator and Mickey’s
team are gearing up for their first
summer sharing the Awakari with
the world.
It’s an irresistibly unique
celebration of Kiwi heritage and
culture, swathed in paradise.
Sampling Johnny’s world is like
savouring spectacular, largerthan-life
version of Country Calendar
in 3D. It’s an incomparable
encounter. www.outwest.co.nz
FAST FACTS
•After a day of riveting heartland discovery, I was lulled to
sleep by the rhythm of the ocean at Omau Settlers Lodge
Motel, Cape Foulwind. Swathed in lush, manicured grounds,
all rooms at this tranquil coastal roost boast a private
balcony with stirring ocean or mountain views. Accentuate
the blissfulness of the surrounds by enjoying a soak in the

she says.
Connecting with people in the
community and seeing them create change
in their lives is very fulfilling.
“It’s great when you meet people who
want to change and you know that you
have the ability to help them transform
their approach to being active. Seeing them
become independently active and continue
with a healthier lifestyle is amazing.”
During her degree, Abby completed
placements with Falls Prevention and the
Canterbury District Health Board. She
says that the opportunity to work in the
local community and build networks was
invaluable.
“The placements are the best part of
the degree. You spend about 130 hours in
second and third year working and you
definitely feel ready to go out and get a job
when you finish. I use the majority of what
I learned in my degree every single day.”
Students explore foundation topics
in their first year and then focus on the
physical activity and health promotion
specialisation for the remainder of their
study.
The Bachelor of Applied Science also
offers specialisations in Sports Science and
Human Nutrition. Graduates are prepared
to enter a wide range of roles in the sports,
health and wellness sectors.
“The degree offers so many opportunities,
which means you get to go out and do
different things throughout your career.”
The Bachelor of Applied Science is a
three year programme and is offered at Ara
in Christchurch. Part-time study options
are also available.

Wow: Five sixes off first over
• By Andrew King
SIR GARFIELD Sobers, Ravi
Shastri, Herschelle Gibbs, Yuvraj
Singh, Alex Hales, Jordan Clark
and very nearly Tom Taylor.
The Old Boys Collegians
opener was one maximum away
from joining the ranks the men
who have hit six sixes in an over,
after he belted five off the first six
balls.
Taylor’s side were set a competitive
258 to win against Riccarton
at Warren Park on Saturday,
when the 21-year-old decided to
channel his inner-Brendon Mc-
Cullum against opening left-arm
pace bowler Jack Turner.
“We needed to get the team off
to a good start. I get told to play
my natural game, and I am an
aggressive batsman and take it
to them to put them under pressure,”
Taylor said.
The first delivery sailed over
mid-wicket, the second was
flicked off his legs over fine leg,
the third was smashed over midon
before he let a leg-side delivery
go for the first dot ball.
“I just turned away when that
ball went by me, I was so pumped
up,” Taylor said.
The assault continued with
the fifth ball hitting a house on
Springs Rd after flying over cow
corner, and the sixth, which was
a bouncer, was dispatched over
square leg with a well-timed
hook shot.
The right-hander’s blistering
107 off 47 deliveries included 13
sixes and five fours giving OBC
the outright three-wicket win in
a rain-affected opening round
of the metro premier two-day
competition. Due to the weather,
the match was moved from Elmwood
Park to Warren Park.
During the barrage fellow
opener and captain, David Wakefield,
was telling him to pick his
shots and calm down.
“I was pretty pumped up and
I just wanted to keep going,”
Taylor said.
Turner had his head down
after the after the final delivery
and there were very few words
exchanged between them.
“You don’t have the right to say
much when getting hit for six
. . . I did say well played,” Turner
said.
Said Taylor: “We had a bit of
a chat, but I don’t know him
[Turner] all that well.”
Nineteen-year-old Turner is in
his first full season in the competition
and said it was a “big
learning experience”.
Taylor and Turner played
together in the Metro Black side
which lost on Sunday to Metro
Red.

GRAEME LITT has won a
gold and silver medal at the
Masters Track Cycling World
Championships in Los Angeles,
32 years after representing New
Zealand in roller skating.
Litt won the gold medal in the
men’s 65-69 years sprint event. In
the final he dropped the first race
to Frenchman Jean Louis Duble,
before recovering to storm home
in races two and three to claim

Taylor smashed 30 runs in

the rainbow jersey and gold
medal.
He was the top qualifier for
the sprint in 12.352sec and accounted
for current world record
holder Mark Rodamaker (United
States) 2-0 in the quarter-final
before beating Christian Meselet
from France in two straight rides
in the semi-final.
The silver medal was added to
the collection when Litt finished
second in the 500m time trial
with a time of 37.805sec.
He returned to Christchurch
from the United States yesterday
and said it was a dream come
true to win the gold medal.
Litt represented New
Zealand at the World Roller
Speed Skating Championships in
Colorado in 1985. He did
not medal there but held a
number of New Zealand speed
skating records for nearly 10
years.
In 2005 Litt purchased a road
bike and raced on the road as

record. He also finished second
in the 2km pursuit.

When selecting a building site weigh
up your lifestyle, family needs and
aspirations before signing up for any
section.
Those purchasing early on in the
development of a subdivision will
have more choice of section size and
orientation to the street and sun. As the
individual sites are sold, there may be
less availability though this need not
be a deterrent. With good design any
building site can be made to work.
Canterbury has experienced
considerable growth in recent years.
Sub-divisions have opened up and
been built on, with new developments
regularly coming on stream. Within
these, section sizes vary from around
400 square metres upwards to 5,000
square metres. Lifestyle blocks are also
scattered around the province.
The size of the house and amount of
yard desired will influence the feasibility
of some building sites as will sun and
wind direction, bearing in mind that a
house can be designed to capture the
sun’s free heat and allow for pleasant
outdoor areas to enjoy.
If the street side of the building site is
north/north west, incorporating fenced
or planted courtyards can offer private
places to entertain and bask in the sun.
Those wanting street presence
or keen on gardening may prefer a
corner section and while it might seem
they offer less privacy, with strategic
placement of fences quite the opposite
can be the case.
Weigh up your family’s needs in
terms of the outdoor areas too. Do you
want play areas for your children? Do
you have a need for off-street parking
for a number of vehicles and space for
a boat, caravan or motorhome, which

The pros and cons
of building sites
may need to be parked out of site of the
street? How much lawn or garden do
you want?
Start by identifying housing
developments that you like and could
see your family living in. Think also
about the convenience of shops and
other amenities, something that may or
may not be a concern.
Single out possible sections then
talk with a designer or builder. Most
building companies have a good
selection of standard plans as a starting
point and they will usually work with
a client to modify a plan or draw up
one that will work on a particular
building site, whilst also containing the
components the client is seeking within
their new home.
Before signing up for any building
site, check the Council land zoning
and recession plane requirements as
well as covenants for the sub-division.
These will show not only how far from
a boundary the house can be sited but
also roof height, permissible building
materials, and acceptable types of
fencing, as well as what can be on
view from the street like a clothes line,
caravan or motorhome. Conducting
your research first will save any
frustration or hassles later.
All sections are workable, it is simply
a matter of choosing one that matches
your specific needs.
