close
in on
‘drown
him’ case
suspects
• By Andrew King
POLICE APPEAR to be closing
in the youths who chanted
“drown him” during a brutal
assault of a teenager.
The 15-year-old was viciously
attacked by a group in Rolleston
after a fireworks display on
November 4.
They dragged him to a water
race and held his head under
water. Some in the group chanted
“drown him.”
The Star has learned police
have been given names of
suspects and private Facebook
messages of apology to the
victim. The four suspects are all
teenagers.
But police are refusing to
reveal where the investigation is
at.
All Detective Senior Sergeant
Mike Ford would say yesterday
was that it was “ongoing.”
Many people have posted about
the incident online, including
friends of the victim who believe
they know who the attackers
were, his mother said.
A friend of the family posted
a message on their behalf, which
received more than 600 reactions
and a number of comments offering
support and condemning the
attack.
“It was amazing to see how
many people came up to us,” she
said.

PETER BROWN is one of
Christchurch’s good guys.
On pages 16-18 today,
we profile Peter, who is the
strength behind the families
who lost loved ones in the
CTV Building collapse on that
awful February day in 2011.
Peter retired from CTV
about two months before the
quake, and was called in by
authorities on the day to help
with the rescue and recovery
logistics.
He knew the building and
everyone who worked at CTV,
and his knowledge was vital as
the hours and days raced by.
Peter, of course, lost many
friends in the quake. He
has been there since for
the families as they battled
through the commission of
inquiry and now wait to see if
criminal charges will be laid
over the collapse.
In our interview, Peter also
tells of the quirks of fate which
led to people either being in
the building or not when the
quake hit.
Sad stuff.

Twitter’s quake research role
Student
analysing
emotional
reactions
• By Bridget Rutherford
EARTHQUAKE-related Twitter
posts are being analysed to
provide a new way of gauging
how people are coping, and
whether they need more
support.
Lincoln University PhD student
Prerita Gupta is developing
a recognition algorithm to
identify emotions based on keywords
in tweets from 2010-2016.
So far, she has collected more
than 250,000 tweets as part of
the research, which is expected
to take up to two years.
The Complex Systems, Big
Data and Informatics Initiative
student said people experiencing
upheavals often turned to social
media to express their feelings,
especially Twitter.
She decided to research how
people reacted emotionally online
when earthquakes struck.
“I thought it would be interesting
to know which emotions
they have gone through and
to know the trend of emotions
when they feel minor or major
disasters.”
The algorithm gauges intense
reactions from people, and how
they are coping. An example is
a tweet such as “Sharp lil jolt felt
in this morning!!!. Forgot how
much I hate them.’’
Ms Gupta said the tool could
be used by psychologists as a
new way of gauging emotional

states. She said it could be used
as a decision-making tool to understand
the collective state of
a group affected, and to provide
them better support or assistance.
The data had geographical
locations, so they could see what
area was impacted the most, she
said.
“This information is very
useful for health providers in
examining the relationship
between emotions and the use
of anti-depressant medicines,
helpful for the Government
to plan which affected area
needs the maximum health
benefit and for social welfare
departments to understand the
level of support they should
provide to the affected party.”
Ms Gupta said traditional
approaches such as interviews or
surveys may not be the best way
to collect data, as it reminded
people of the experience and
could be traumatising.
Analysing Twitter posts was
non-intrusive, she said.
The Ministry of Health is also
investigating whether Facebook
or Twitter posts about illnesses
or symptoms could be tracked
to see if there is a trend in a
particular area.
It was also looking at whether
school absentees, employee
sick leave, over-the-counter
pharmacy sales, tissue sales or
Healthline calls could be utilised
in preventing the spread of
illnesses.

In Brief
Fire rages, homes at risk
LEGIONNAIRES’ SPIKE
A spike in Cantabrians with the
potentially deadly legionnaires’
disease is being blamed on a
boost in the use of potting mix
for spring gardening. Canterbury
medical officer of health
Dr Alistair Humphrey said 10
people had been diagnosed with
the disease in the last week. Two
of them were admitted to intensive
care. The particular strain in
these cases, legionella longbeachae
bacteria, is found in compost and
potting mix.
NEW FUEL TANKS AT PORT
Two new fuel storage tanks
are being built in Lyttelton to
improve capacity for the South
Island. Mobil is building the
petrol and diesel tanks on George
Seymour Quay to be completed
in 2019. They will replace the
ones damaged by a landslide at
Mobil’s Naval Point facility in
2014. Mobil country manager
Andrew McNaught said it was an
important part of the fuel supply
chain in the South Island.
VILLAGE TO BE EXPANDED
Summerset Group has bought
a further 2.1ha of land to add
another 71 units to the $100
million Casebrook village which
is currently under construction
on Cavendish Rd. It says will
expand the village to more
than 340 units, a rest home
and hospital-level care, and the
Summerset’s first dementia care
centre in Christchurch.
RED ZONE OPTIONS
Regenerate Christchurch will
consider 1871 responses from
people and groups as it refines
options for the future use of
the 602ha residential red zone.
It consulted on 10 possible
combinations of land uses for
the area. Chief executive Ivan
Iafeta said common themes were
support for ecological restoration,
flatwater and whitewater
facilities and eco-sanctuaries.
Reintroducing residential
housing received more than 400
responses, but a proposed landswap
with Avondale and Rawhiti
golf courses was not supported.

Kitchen Rules: ‘We’re not so awful’
• By Bridget Rutherford
THEY HAVE been labelled the
villains of My Kitchen Rules New
Zealand and been called nasty,
evil and “the worst word ever.”
But Christchurch’s Heather
Andersen, 30, and Mitch Mac-
Donald, 39, say they are not the
“awful” people viewers think
they are.
On Monday, the friends will
cook in the sudden death round
against two other teams before
judges, Pete Evans and Manu
Feildel, decide who will go
through to the grand-final.
But it has not always been
smooth sailing for the former St
Andrew’s College students.
Ms Andersen, a sales manager,
said they were portrayed as
the villains because they had
stronger opinions than the other
teams.
“I know what I said, but only
half the sentence ever made it
into the episodes,” she said.
“I don’t mince my words, I’m
not a horrible person. If you ask
me a question, I’m going to tell
you what I think because you
asked me.”
She said they may have gone
in a “bit hot” in the first episode,
but they knew they could back

it up in the kitchen and would
score fairly.
“Social media went crazy.
People got really personal about
how we look. Luckily, I have a
thick skin, these people don’t
know me.”
Someone said she looked like
she had jaundice, while another
said she had a beard, Ms Andersen
said.
“People talk behind your back.
I was in Pak ‘n Save Northlands
and someone said ‘there’s that
b***h from MKR’.
“Mitch got called the worst
word ever on the golf course
in Queenstown. They get so
invested.”
Ms Andersen said she had no
regrets. She received backlash
after she made comments about
the other teams.
But she said they were all good
friends and the other teams
thought it was funny.
“There’s an ongoing situation
about Wanaka, but Chris
[Wright] called me and they
are trying to get us down there.
Everyone talks every day.”
The pair say their cooking style
was modern Kiwi cuisine with a
twist. Ms Andersen specialises in
desserts, while Mr MacDonald
takes the lead cooking the
protein.
Mr MacDonald, a real estate
agent, said they were humorous
people and, at times, their comments
were misconstrued.
He said they were a bit surprised
at the backlash, but at the
end of the day, they entered a
reality television show.
“For me, I’m more protective
of my children going to school
and hearing things.”
Ruby, 7, and Chloe, 8, liked
helping him in the kitchen and
learning how to cook, he said.
PRESSURE: Mitch MacDonald
and Heather Andersen
scored 61 out of 90 in
Monday’s elimination cook off
against Auckland mates Jaryd
and Ben.
“If you see Heather and I on
the street or out, come and have
a chat to us. We’re not that bad,”
he said.
“Christchurch has been
through a lot. We are Cantabrians
and are very loyal. To cook
well and make Christchurch
proud is a very big thing for us.”
If the pair end up being
crowned champions, they have
not decided what they would do
with the $100,000 prize.

$50m meth bust
TWO MEN have been
arrested after a two-week
joint police and customs
operation, which saw 49kg
of methamphetamine
with a street value of
$50 million seized in
Christchurch.
Police discovered the
drugs as part of Operation
Grandeur and said it
was the largest seizure of
methamphetamine in the
South Island.
The drugs arrived into
the city in an airfreight
consignment sent from
Mexico on November 1,
concealed in a shipment of
safety lights.
There were 40 separate
packages of about 1-1.2kg
each, which have yet to
be further forensically
examined to determine
the exact weight of the
product.
Police said the seizure
has prevented $60.71
million of additional
community harm.
Search warrants were
executed at a number of
addresses in Christchurch
and Auckland.
Two Christchurch men
HUGE HAUL: Methamphetamine seized by police
as part of Operation Grandeur.
were arrested and appeared
in the district court
yesterday facing charges of
importing a class A drug,
and possession of methamphetamine
for supply.
Both were remanded
in custody to reappear on
Monday.
Detective Inspector
Corrie Parnell said if the
drugs had made it on to
the street, they would have
caused “significant harm”,
not just in Canterbury, but
across the country.
“Methamphetamine is
a destructive drug that
wrecks lives, breaks down
whanau and negatively
impacts on our community.
It takes enforcement
and a whole-of-Government
approach, along
with education, to reduce
demand and victimisation
caused by this drug,” he
said.
Detective Inspector
Parnell said drug use is a
driver of numerous other
crimes.
“Unfortunately, the
demand for illegal drugs
is fed by those who are
addicted and interventions
are required in order to
help these people limit the
harm they are causing to
themselves and others.”

Funeral home review cost $50k
• By Bridget Rutherford
IT HAS cost ratepayers more
than $50,000 for the judicial
review into a suburban funeral
home in Fendalton, prompting
calls for a budget to be used in
similar situations.
Independent commissioner
Philip Milne granted resource
consent for Bell, Lamb and Trotter
to operate a “funeral satellite
office” from a
house on Rochdale
St in April.
Residents
fiercely against
the plan formed
the Rochdale
Precinct Society
David East
and took the
battle to the
High Court for a two-day judicial
review last week.
Justice Susan Thomas has
reserved her decision.
City council head of legal
services John Higgins said it was
obliged to process resource consent
applications and be party to
a judicial review if there was one.
“So far the external costs
associated with judicial review
proceedings are $57,710.06.”
He said it did not include the
cost of last week’s judicial review
as the city council had not yet
been invoiced for that.
Originally, the city council
declined the application. But
Bell, Lamb and Trotter asked for
an independent commissioner to
rule on it.
It was approved under the
“home occupation” provisions
of the new District Plan, as Bell,
Lamb and Trotter managing
director Andrew Bell said he was
living there.
Regulatory performance committee
chairman city councillor
David East said the city council
did not budget for costs incurred
through resource consent appeals,
such as Rochdale St.
He said the city council was
looking into whether money
could be set aside in the long
term plan for those costs.
“We’re now looking at whether
we can increase the budget for
the building consent and resource
consent and enforcement
unit.”
Rochdale St resident David
Nicholls said it was now a waiting
game to see what Justice
Thomas’ decision would be
WAITING

Susan

her decision
on whether

house.

HUNTER
before the society decided on its
next step.
“We’ll just have to see.”
At last week’s review, the
society’s lawyer Prudence Stevens
QC said Mr Bell did not
appear to be living at the address
permanently, and it should have
been processed as a commercial
service activity.
Bell, Lamb and Trotter said
26 services for up to 10 people
would be held at the house, providing
a more “homely environment”
for people apprehensive
about funeral homes.
Rugby coach
complaint
dropped
• By Andrew King
A COMPLAINT about a
West Melton rugby coach who
grabbed a young Lincoln player
after an altercation on the field
has been dropped.
The under-14.5s coach Amanda
Tomlinson previously told
The Star she grabbed the player
by his collar after he kicked
someone from her team in the
mouth during a match in July.
A complaint was lodged with
the Canterbury Rugby Football
Union which investigated the
matter, but it has been dropped.
CRFU chief executive Nathan
Godfrey said he believes the
complaint has been withdrawn.
Ellesmere Rugby Union president
Stuart Boon confirmed
there will be no further action
against Ms Tomlinson.
Ms Tomlinson said she did
not want to make any comment
about the incident when
contacted yesterday, but said she
had been through hell.
Police have also dropped the
assault charge against her.
In July Ms Tomlinson said she
was upset a complaint had been
laid.

This is the sort of ‘repair’
we are finding.

Inner-city living: The pros and cons,
Last week, The Star
revealed a report
showing people don’t
want to live in high
density housing. Today
Bridget Rutherford
compares the cost of
buying in the central city
and the suburbs
FOR ABOUT $1.3 million, you
could buy a 964m2 property in
Northwood with five bedrooms,
three bathrooms, three living
areas and a spacious backyard.
Or, for the same price, you
could get a yet to be built innercity
apartment sandwiched between
Hagley Park and Victoria
St and less than a quarter of the
size.
Which would you prefer?
A study published in the Urban
Studies Journal by Canterbury
University transportation lecturer
Diana Kusumastuti looked
at the weight residents put on
buying a home, and what factors
were more important.
It found more people were
likely to buy a home in the city’s
outer suburbs because the properties
were larger, quieter, private
and often cheaper.
HANDY: This three bedroom, two-bathroom Dublin St home is for sale asking
for inquiries over $1,375,000.
The city council and Government
have a goal of having
20,000 people living in the
central city by 2024. Post-quake
District Plan zone changes have
been made to encourage innercity
development.
Industry experts say it is a lifestyle
choice, and businesses need
a higher central city population
to succeed.
New apartments on the market
yet to be built could cost anywhere
between $300,000 to more
than $3 million.
Harcourts Gold senior sales
consultant Mark O’Loughlin is
selling a number of the central
city apartments.
He said there were about 160
apartments or townhouses either
under construction or being marketed
in the central city due to be
finished by the end of 2019.
Of those, about half were under
offer or had sold.
Mark O’Loughlin
Lianne Dalziel
Mr O’Loughlin said their
survey results had found the
biggest priorities for buyers
were the lifestyle, ease of living,
access to services and low maintenance.
The biggest market for apartments
were people aged between
60-85, who wanted a downgrade
or lifestyle change.
He said young couples who
were using their KiwiSaver grants
made up 25 per cent.
“Because a lot of younger people
today are more transient in
their jobs, they get married older
so they’re living with friends or
their partners for longer. Most
prefer the privacy of one or two
bedroom apartments.”
He said a lot of apartment
purchases had to be made off the
plans, but people were willing to
do that.
“Banks require 80 per cent of
the project to be pre-sold before
banks can provide funding for
the project.”
Near Hagley Park, Cranmer
Square and Victoria St would be
the expensive, larger apartments,
he said.
On the eastern side of the
central city near Latimer Square,
were the more affordable apartments
for younger buyers or
renters.
Mr O’Loughlin said there was
a broad range. He sold a one
bedroom apartment for $309,000
recently, and a two-storey 550 sq
m apartment on Park Tce for $5.5
million.
He said it was cheaper to live
in the suburbs. People could buy
a new four-bedroom home in
Rolleston or Rangiora for about
$600,000, he said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
and what you get for your buck
But to build an apartment
complex was a lot more expensive
to build because it had costly
engineering and building standards,
and requirements.
He said apartment maintenance
was cheap. Owners would
pay about $2500 annually to the
body corporate, which covered
maintenance and property insurance,
he said.
“It’s a lifestyle
choice.
We’re just
following the
rest of the
world.”
The central
city, Merivale,
Papanui,
Chris Wilkinson
Fendalton,
Riccarton,
LARGER: Homeowners could often get more space for their money in the outer suburbs, such as this five-bedroom Northwood
home for $1.2 million, or a Shirley three-bedroom home with a larger backyard for $359,000.
Addington and part of Linwood
were all classed as inner-suburban
areas, while the rest were
outer-suburban areas.
Trade Me Property figures
show the average asking price of
an inner-suburban property in
October was $573,950.
In comparison, the average
asking price of an outer-suburban
property was $467,650.
In the central city it was
$604,150, the figures show.
The East Frame, a Government
anchor project, is under
construction with 20 homes due
to be finished next year.
Originally, construction was
due to begin in October last year.
But it was delayed until April.
Eventually, the East Frame will
have about 900 apartments and
townhouses in the five blocks
between Manchester, Madras,
Armagh and Lichfield Sts.
They will range from between
$400,000 – $900,000.
First Retail managing director
Chris Wilkinson said there were
not enough living options for
people in the central city yet to
help businesses succeed.
He said businesses recognised
it was a “long game” in regards
to retail success, but many made
commitments looking at the
planned residential and tourism
growth.
“With the current hiatus
in development, there’s an
understandable anxiousness
among some retailers, hospitality
businesses and property owners
with exposure to these sectors.”
He said having a good balance
of people working, visiting and
living in the central city was “vital”
for long-term sustainability.
There needed to be demographic
diversity for “inner-city success,”
he said.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the
research results were not surprising.
“We know that inner-city,
and particularly central city living,
will only appeal to certain
groups.”
She said it was interesting
people did not seem to mind
driving longer to get into town.
With that in mind, Ms Dalziel
said inner city living should be
targeted to those who valued the
benefits such as its proximity
to restaurants and the ability to
walk everywhere.
She said it had been “enormously
disappointing” the range
of properties had not yet been
developed as promised. Affordibility
was key, she said.
“Density can be countered by
quality design and great public
space. And we need a mix of
tenure – ownership, rental and
affordable options in both.”
Urban Edge valuer Natalie
Edwards said it was hard to
compare buying apartments in
the inner-city with properties
further out.
“They’re two completely
different products. You could
buy a one bedroom apartment
for $600,000 in the central city.
There’s just a wider market for
the quarter acre section.”
A lack of car parking spaces in
apartment buildings could also
be a turn off for many buyers,
and anchor projects were not yet
complete.
“People aren’t traditionally
apartment dwellers, that
market is always struggled with
Kiwis.”

Authorities meet over water
First catch up
about water
supply since
Port Hills fire
• By Bridget Rutherford
AUTHORITIES have met to
discuss the city’s water supply
network for the first time since
February’s devastating Port Hills
fire.
City council reticulation and
maintenance manager Rob Meek
said the city council’s reticulation
team and fire and emergency
authorities met regularly
to discuss the network.
However, this was the first
meeting since the Port Hills fire
and the amalgamation of the
New Zealand Fire Service and
the National Rural Fire Authority,
he said.
“After the Port Hills fires, staff
felt it was a good opportunity
to catch up with the fire and
emergency team to talk about
our water supply network and
reservoirs along the Port Hills
and Christchurch in general and
with regard to rural firefighting.”
He said the senior fire risk
management officer and three
other members of the fire and
emergency operational team
were present.
They spoke about the various
chains of reservoirs on the Port
Hills, including the flat and up
the hills from Westmorland to
Taylors Mistake, he said.
“The various water supply
pressure zones in Christchurch
were also discussed, as were
reservoir sizes along the various
chains.”
He said staff gave fire and
emergency authorities the water
supply schematic plans of the
pump stations and reservoirs
showing how they link to each
other, their elevations and sizes,
and pressure zone maps showing
where pump stations were.
“Fire and emergency already
has access to the Christchurch
water supply network geographic
information system.”
Mr Meek said there were no
gaps in the water supply system
and they would continue to meet
as they had in the past.
IMPORTANT: City council and
fire and emergency staff have
met to discuss water supplies
for the first time following the
Port Hills fire.
PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER &
ANDREW KING ​
The two Port Hills fires started
on February 13 and later merged
into one, burning more than
1600ha of land and destroying
nine homes. Pilot Steve Askin
was killed when his helicopter
crashed near Sugar Loaf on
February 14.
Rural principal fire officer
for Christchurch and Selwyn,
Darrin Woods, said he helped
organise the meeting but did not
attend.
He said it was more about
highlighting areas where “there
could be some limitations” for
water supply.
Plan to ease
building
consent costs
• By Bridget Rutherford
NOT-for-profit organisations
could get a helping hand to pay
for building consents if city
councillor David East gets his
way.
The regulatory performance
committee chairman has asked
staff to see if funding assistance
could be provided for not for
profit organisations wanting to
build a facility.
“Sometimes not for profit
organisations have to raise funds
and some of the consenting
fees can be quite a challenge for
them. So we’re looking to see
if we can have a process where
there can be an application for
a rebate of some of those fees,”
he said.
“It’s probably going to
have to be on a case-by-case
basis.”
Cr East said it could be in
the form of a funding pool that
organisations could apply for
money from.
“A few years ago I was involved
in a project with North
Beach Surf Life Saving Club.
The building works were going
to cost $20,000, and it was $4000
in building consent fees. That
was almost quarter of the total
cost.
“When you think about
community groups having to
fundraise significantly for a big
project, on top of that they’ve got
a fair chunk of building consents
as well.”

Peter Brown
Helping those left behind from
Peter Brown retired two months before the CTV
Building collapsed in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, killing 16 of his former colleagues.
Bridget Rutherford spoke to him about waiting for
a prosecution, the moment he saw the damaged
building, and helping the survivors and victims’
families
Can you tell me what your
role with CTV was?
I was the technical engineer.
CTV were looking for people to
help and my daughter had been
working as a camera person and
she said ‘my dad will fix it’, so
dad ended up fixing it. That was
in 1997, in Manchester St, and
from there I really just stayed in
that same role. We shifted all the
gear to Madras St in about 2010
and I did all the technical stuff. I
retired in December 2010.
You went to the site on
February 22, 2011, after the
earthquake struck didn’t you?
I was out in Oxford when the
earthquake struck because I’m
on the trust of Youth With A
Mission. But I got a call telling
me to come in. I was already on
the way. I was at the site helping
the police, drawing diagrams of
the building and where people
might be. We were trying to find
out how many people were in
the building at the time. From
there, I had a relationship with
the families and had meetings
with them in the weeks after
that. Then we had the funerals,
I spoke at many of the funerals.
This went on right up until June
until the coroner had declared
the ones who were missing
were dead. That was hard. I was
involved in the Royal Commission
giving names of people
who could be involved to help
with that and I testified. Then I
got involved with moving CTV
to Wairakei Rd and later into
Venture Pl then Lincoln Rd. I’m
helping with the Quake Families
Trust now, I’m not on it, but I go
along to the meetings.
When you arrived at the site
and you helped police, was it
like a switch flicked?
Yes it was. We lived in
Christian communities in

Christchurch, Oxford, and the
Marlborough Sounds, and we
were working with people who
needed support.
I think that prepared me for
a lot of the stuff that happened
in the earthquake. I was used to
dealing with people in all sorts of
situations. There’s a verse in the
Bible that says you were born for
such a time as this, and I often
think about that.

The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi

the CTV tragedy
I WAS the only one at the time
who knew all the families, apart
from Maryanne [Jackson]. So I
was that go-to person. Now we
have a tea or a get together every
month or two.
When you were driving in
from Oxford, did you know
what you would find?
I knew the building was down
and things weren’t good. The
satellite dishes on the roofline
were on the ground, and the
CTV sign. It was a horrendous
scene. People started ringing me
then because they knew I was
there. I would have been in the
building – I didn’t go out for my
lunch. I look back and think, if
I hadn’t retired before, it could
have been worse. Maryanne
had 5000 practice runs, she ran
out of the building every time
there was an earthquake. The
thing that saved her, though,
was she went to do the dishes
and the phone rang and, instead
of going around the back of her
desk, she answered over the
front, so she dropped the phone
and ran out the door. There are
a lot of miraculous stories. The
sales manager at the time, his
wife used to work at QE II and
someone was in trouble and
she jumped in the pool and got
them out. She rang Malcolm
[Harris] to ask him to bring in
some spare clothes. That was at
12.30pm. Rhys [Brookbanks]
was going to go out and do a
story, and Emily Cooper said
‘don’t worry I’ll go out and do it’.
Just things like that. People feel
that survivor guilt at times, they
feel why did I survive?
Did you help identify some of
the items from the building?
Yes, we were trying to identify
all the stuff that came out
of the building and peoples’
belongings. There was about
two containers of stuff, initially
they put all the stuff in the gym
beside the CTV Building. The
night we were there, it affected
your touch, your smell and
even your sight. On the street it
looked a bit like Armageddon,
because on the coffee tables
there were half-drunk cups of
tea and that sort of thing.
Why did you decide to retire
in 2010?
I’m an old bugger. I had stayed
on longer than I wanted to
because I went on an outreach
trip to China, I said to Murray
[Wood] if you let me go away for
two months I’ll stay on until the
end of the year.
How long did it take for CTV
to get back up and broadcasting
after the earthquake?
We got the first signal back on
air through Maori TV in about
April. But we got the channel
back up and running by about
June or July. A lot of people were
prepared to help, a lot locals and
a lot of my contacts like Telstra
and Kordia and we’ve got to be
grateful for that.
Was it helpful to try and get it
back up-and-running sooner?
It helped us all in the sense
you felt you were honouring
the ones who died, you were
carrying it on, and it kept
peoples’ focus on something
else.
In your job you were in
charge of fixing things. Do you
remember any big breakdowns
over the years?
The news went to air most of
the time. There were close times.
I know there was one where we
had a few seconds to spare. But
that’s part of television. We had
fun. We used to do football,
basketball and school sports.
It’s amazing the stuff we filmed
when I look back.

Our People
Supporting quake survivors, victims and families
Where did you work before
CTV?
I was in the post office from
1962-76 as an engineering associate.
We used to design telephone
exchanges, but that’s all changed
now. Then I went off and did
23 years of social work helping
people.
What do you do in your spare
time?
I’m still on the trust in Oxford.
At CTV, I was always fixing everyone’s
cellphones. I still do that
on the side and I’ve always got
my head in a computer. I spend
a lot of time with my family. My
wife Christine died in 2015 and
I’ve got six kids, 18 grandchildren
and two great grandchildren,
so they keep me occupied.
They live all over. My kids take
me fishing sometimes. I do a lot
of swimming, I try and go a couple
times a week – but sometimes
it happens; sometimes it doesn’t
(laughs).
How did you and Christine
meet?
There used to be a lot of church
dances. This one, it was a fancy
dress dance, I was in a skeleton
costume, or something like that.
We had known each other from
youth groups and stuff. We got
engaged on April Fools Day
and married on Guy Fawkes. I
POST-QUAKE: Peter Brown with CTV staff and former staff on February 22, 2012, when they
were allowed back on the site for a remembrance ceremony.
wondered about the method of
that, I think it was for my sake so
I didn’t forget those big days.
And you’re still waiting
on a decision regarding the
investigation into the collapse
of the CTV Building?
The evidence has got to be
far more thorough. The Royal
Commission was designed to
find out what went wrong and to
fix that.
The criminal investigation
is to convict someone. We’ve
just got to wait until they make
that decision. I’m hopeful
there will be something out
before Christmas, I’d rather it’s
thorough. If they do go ahead,
this will be hard for the families
involved and just as hard for the
people who survived because
they will have to give evidence
and you’ve got to relive the
whole thing. It’s hard to move
on in Christchurch, there’s
always something to do with
the earthquake every day in the
news.
What do you think of the new
landscaping plans for the CTV
site?
I think it’s good. We’ve always
wanted it to be a reflective site
where people can go and just sit.
It’s got the cherry blossoms for
the Japanese. We had to fight for
it to begin with but, once Canterbury
Earthquake Recovery
Authority got hold of it, it was
good.
Do you find earthquakes
frightening?
No, unless there’s a really big
one. I won’t say you get immune
to them. I remember when my
daughter visited, there was a
rattle and she got under the
doorway and the rest of us just
sat there and said ‘it’s only a 4.5
don’t worry’.
•A police spokeswoman
said she could not give a
date for when a decision
would be made on whether
charges would be laid for
the collapse of the CTV
Building. Police said the
investigation is in its final
stage.
Christchurch’s new Memorial Avenue Gateway Bridge
is open to traffic but we are not finished yet!
There will be speed restrictions and other traffic management on and around the bridge
over the next few months while the project team lay the final road surface and carry out
other work to complete the Russley Road Upgrade.
Please drive with extra care and pay close attention to the signage to ensure you are in
the correct lane to get to your destination. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Defining a sense of national identity
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Gregor Paul
FOR YEARS individual All
Blacks have spoken about their
pride in the jersey and been clear
about what they were prepared
to do to wear it.
The stories of sacrifice are
legendary, the commitment to
the cause beyond question. Yet
for all the emotion connected
with the jersey and all the desire
to wear it, there has been no unified
sense of what it means and
represents.
Being an All Black has meant
so many different things to so
many people and while virtually
everyone who has played for the
national side has been aware of
the significant history attached
to the team, there hasn’t previously
been a defined sense of
national identity tied up in the
team’s culture.
This was the conclusion
reached by former coach Graham
Henry and his assistants Wayne
Smith and Steve Hansen when
they took over running the team.
What drove that home was a
difficult day New Zealand rugby
endured at Ellis Park in 2004.
Not only were the All Blacks
well beaten by the Springboks,
but they came away from Johannesburg
with a sense they were
missing something.
The Boks had lifted emotionally
that day and the All Blacks
coaches felt that had much to do
with President Nelson Mandela
being in the stands.
The presence of Madiba had
been a powerful, galvanising
force, and seemingly the Boks
and the 55,000 fans at Ellis Park,
had a defined and clear sense of
national identity. South Africans
appeared to know who they were
and what the Rainbow Nation
was all about.
The All Blacks coaching
panel wanted something similar.
They wanted to instil a unified
understanding of what being an
All Black meant and use that full
weight of history and the legacy
of the jersey to guide, inspire and
bind.
UNIFIED:
The coaching
panel led by
Steve Hansen
wanted to
instil a unified

All Black.

That process began 13 years
ago, but stepped up in early
2015 when Hansen decided
that if his side were to win
a consecutive World Cup,
they would need a greater
appreciation of themselves, who
they were and what exactly they
were representing.
We really challenged ourselves
prior to 2015 to identify who
we were because we used to
talk about it all the time,” says
Hansen.
“So we asked the question
what is it [our identity] – who
are we? As a result of that we
worked out that we weren’t really
that sure. We spent a lot of time
putting some stuff together and
challenge ourselves to ask some
questions.
“And really you know it is our
history and what that history has
chucked that up over the years
and who we want to be.
“When you are asking to identity
yourself as an All Black you
have to go really specific because
not every New Zealander is
going to play for the All Blacks.
So you are actually representing
the people that have and all the
people that are supporting you.
“What it is we are identifying
with has to come from our past
and that includes good, bad and
indifferent. It is so interwoven
with being a New Zealander, you
can’t really separate it.
“You can then look at other great
New Zealanders and even some
poor ones and ask if we are going
to be like that. It is an opportunity
to enhance what has gone before
us. I think we are very clear.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
Wearing the All Black jersey with pride
•From page 21
The reason Hansen is adamant
the players are clear about identity
and what it means to play for
the All Blacks is because management
make it that way.
One of the key virtues Hansen
has instilled in his players is
gratitude – to respect and cherish
the opportunity they have been
given. And to feel like that, the
players need to know the scale
of the privilege they have been
afforded.
“Nothing is assumed and we
have an induction-type process
that we do with all the new guys
and there are various ways we do
that without going into it,” says
Hansen.
A big part of the current
climate is helping players understand
how their personal history
intertwines with the team’s
legacy.
“I think if you go ask a young
child in New Zealand who plays
rugby, nine times out of 10 they
are going to say they want to be
an All Black,” says lock Luke
Romano.
“From the time you are a young
bloke, to when you are in your
20s you want to be an All Black.
It is no different for me or any
other guy in this team. When you

last weekend, says the question of identity has been one
pushed to the front of his mind.
put on that All Blacks jersey it is
something you have been chasing
for 20 years and you don’t think
you are ever going to get there.
“But you have got there and
that just shows what it means to
New Zealanders because there
is that history in that jersey and
that want to get there and not
everyone gets there. So that is
what makes it so special - when
you get the jersey it is a chance to
play a test for your country and
you don’t want to let the jersey
down. It has so much history and
PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
so much winning culture that
you don’t want to be the one that
inflicts a loss on it. “They are the
big driving factors . . . it is not just
a bit of black cloth with a silver
fern on it.”
For teammate Dane Coles, the
question of identity has been one
that has been pushed to near the
front of his mind since he made
the squad in 2012. It was maybe
not something he had considered
prior to making the team, but he
understands now that the more
the team understands themselves,
the better they are likely
to play.
“We know our identity,” he
says. “Who has worn this jersey
what they have done in it and
all the people who have worn it
before us. You learn you are only
a caretaker of the jersey. You
don’t own it. You try to leave it in
a better place than it was before
you wore it.
“It is huge because it is about
identity, what you play for and
what this team represents. I think
you are not going to learn all that
on your first tour.
If all the games the All Blacks
have played this year, none have
brought to the fore so pertinently
the question of national identity.
The French test on Armistice
Day, in the country where
hundreds of thousands of New
Zealanders gave their lives in two
world wars, creates an emotional
backdrop.
Adding to that is the fact that it
is 100 years since Originals captain
Dave Gallagher was killed in
action in World War 1. The test,
more than most, asked the All
Blacks to think deeply about who
they are.
“I think it is because it is easy
to tell that story because it is in
your face,” says Hansen. “And
it is in our face because on your
jersey is a poppy and the first
question you have is why? What
is the poppy. Why the poppy? Because
the first thing that grew on
the battlefields was poppys and a
lot of New Zealanders were killed
on those battlefields. And that is
significant because if you are going
to be true to your identity you
are going to know that, you are
going to know your history.”
I think if you go ask a young
child in New Zealand who
plays rugby, nine times out of
10 they are going to say they
want to be an All Black
– Luke Romano
Says Romano: “He and 13 of his
mates died at Passchendaele. It is
100 years since it happened and
that is certainly a big factor for us
to do that jersey pride. Because
they wore that jersey with pride
as we do now and what they gave
up for their country, they made
the ultimate sacrifice. They gave
up their life to make sure we
could have freedom.”
The journey of discovery will
never end for the All Blacks but
they have travelled deep within
themselves since 2004 to find out
who they are. – NZ Herald

Fire rages, homes at risk
The benefits of inner-city living
New research says
people are not keen on
I WAS asked whether recent
research on people’s preferences
for buying in Christchurch’s
outer suburbs creates a challenge
for our city’s goal to have 20,000
people living within the four
avenues.
I should remind people that
this goal was set before the
earthquakes.
A vibrant and dynamic central
city was always part of the vision
of the Greater Christchurch
Urban Development Strategy,
and inner-city living was always
part of making that happen.
Should we have been able to
hit the fast-forward button after
the earthquakes? You bet. Does
this research change this? No it
doesn’t, but it highlights the need
to target inner city living to a
much more diverse group than
revealed by the research. And
that means affordability, quality
urban design, great amenities
and plenty of public space have
to be part and parcel of the new
central city.
It should be remembered that
the research focused on homeowners,
and I think it’s important
to have students, renters and
people in need of a supportive
living environment. Diversity is
important to the city.
What I found most interesting
in the research was that people
Lianne Dalziel
don’t seem to mind long commutes
to get to town or to work
if they were getting a better
property for the same money –
for example, a three-bedroom
townhouse in the city as opposed
to a four-bedroom house with a
backyard in the outer suburbs.
That suggests to me that the
trade-offs need to be better defined
and we should target inner
city living to those who value
the benefits for example walking
distance to work, theatres,
restaurants, parks, inner-city life,
recognising that ‘inner-city’ living
isn’t for everyone.
One of the observations in
the article is that future studies
should investigate ways to make
high-density living attractive
through the careful and skilled
design of buildings and neighbourhoods,
that address people’s
needs for quietness and privacy,
while living in a mixed-use
neighbourhood.
Christchurch’s District Plan
has, for several decades, contained
policies to promote higher
density development particularly
around natural hubs – shopping
centres, major bus routes and
parks.
I think it is a good thing to
have density in the areas where
these things are within walking
distance. But there are downsides
when density is not accompanied
by quality urban design that
reserves amenity and that is the
challenge we are seeking to address.
•If you want to ask Ms
Dalziel a question, email
mayor@ccc.govt.nz. Put
Reader’s Question in the
subject line
inner-city high density
living, in spite of plans to
try and encourage it
Thomas Blair – I built and
have lived in the inner city
within the four avenues for more
than 20 years and would not
consider choosing to live in the
suburbs. The advantages are so
numerous that they outweigh
any so called benefits of the
suburbs – quietness, space,
safety etc. Extra time gained
through no lawn mowing,
garden maintenance and
travelling time is a bonus, so
central city living for me.
Police have been given
names of the suspects
who chanted “drown him”
during a brutal assault on a
teenager Rolleston
Perawai Hurunui – I agree
that is so wrong and, yes, I hope
they get there punishment, but
for those who are saying an eye
for eye, you guys are just as bad
as the bullies. What is the lesson
there? If you give them the same
treatment as what they gave that
boy your saying it’s okay to do
that.
Melanie McLean – Makes
me feel sick reading what this
innocent young man endured.
The disgusting act of his perpetrators
is sickening to say the
least. They should be charged
with attempted murder, regardless
of their ages, they surely
knew the seriousness and potentially
fatal outcome of their
horrific actions.
Fiona Jackson – How
disgusting that poor kid who
was attacked. I felt sick when I
heard about this, they need to be
thrown into big boys jail and see
how tough they think they are.
So glad to hear the young man
is recovering, sounds like a talented
kid and I hope he doesn’t
let this hold him back.
Vanya Cheri – You know
what – an eye for eye, I say. Will
teach thugs a lesson and they
will know how it felt for their
victim.

Urgent need for EQC inquiry
THIS WEEK, it was a real
pleasure to visit Kaikoura on
the one year anniversary of last
year’s devastating earthquake.
As someone who’s been
through it myself, I know it’s a
day of mixed emotions. There’s
grief for what has been lost, a
sense of hope for the future and
a bit of awe when you reflect at
what you and your community
have got through together.
As Minister responsible for
EQC, I spent much of the day
talking to people on the ground
who are still going through the
EQC and insurance process.
I wanted to reiterate our
Government’s support for them
and to let them know we are
doing everything possible to help
Kaikoura recover and help them
move forward.
Overall, we are making good
progress in getting people
settled. At the end of October, 91
per cent of all claims have been
assessed, with 65 per cent of all
building claims, 92 per cent of all
contents claims and 93 per cent
of all land claims being settled.
But for those whose claims
are still outstanding, the stories
I heard were all too familiar
– people feeling trapped and
unable to move on with their
lives.
As Minister, my priority is
getting those people sorted as
quickly as possible. That’s where
the work of the Residential
Advisory Service is so important.
THe RAS is a special service
set up in 2013 that helps people
navigate insurance and EQC
claims – often acting as case
managers to explain the process,
advocate for people and bring
the different people involved
together.
It’s helped resolve thousands
of claims since it was established
in 2013. What I heard loud and
clear from people yesterday
is that the RAS has been an
absolute godsend. One woman
told me she’d been at her wits’
end before she’d spoken to them
and that their help had kept her
going.
In the next few weeks, we’ll be
looking at ways to make sure this
important service is still available
for people. For me, these stories
also reinforce why we so urgently
need an independent inquiry
into EQC – to learn the lessons
from these events and making
sure we do better for people in
the event of future disasters.
Our Government knows we
owe it to the people who have
been through so much to make
sure their experience is heard
and the system is improved.
That’s why we’ll be working on
getting that inquiry under way as
soon as possible.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
HOW TO BARBECUE
PERFECT RIBEYE STEAK
Ingredients
Ribeye steaks, at least an 1.5
inches thick
Olive oil
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat your grill to high heat.
If you have a sear burner and a
steak that is more than an inch
thick, get one side of the grill
going at about medium-high in
case you need to cook it through
a little more after the sear.
Remove the ribeye steaks from
their packaging and rub them
down with some olive oil and
then coat a generous amount
of salt and freshly ground black
pepper. The olive oil provides
just enough fat to help the salt
and pepper create a great, caramelised
crust.
Clean and lubricate your grill
grates with some cooking oil on
a rolled up piece of paper towel
(using tongs, of course).
Place the ribeye steaks on the
hottest part of the grill and then
stand ready with the tongs.
At this point, you are on flareup
watch. The fat dripping off of
the steaks could create a flare-up.
If a flare-up occurs and doesn’t
go away in a few seconds, simply
use your tongs to slide the steaks
away from the open flame until
the flame dies down and then
move them back over the heat.
Continue to grill with the lid
open for about 4-6min.
Flip the steaks over onto the
other side, still over the hottest
part of the grill.
Grill the ribeye steaks for an
additional 4-6min on the other
side, lid open, for a medium-rare
delicious steak.
Remove the steaks from the
grill and allow to rest for 5min
before serving. The resting
period is important so that the
juices don’t run out when you cut
into the ribeye, so be patient.
AVOCADO AND
CARAMELISED PINEAPPLE
SALAD
Ingredients
2 Tbsp Brown sugar
½ Pineapple, peeled
2 Tbsp Butter
3 Avocados, firm but ripe
½ Red onion
100g Blue cheese, creamy
½ Red chilli
2 cups Salad leaves, washed
Dressing
1 Orange, zest and juice
1 Chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp Ground cumin
4 Tbsp Avocado oil
1 to taste Salt & freshly ground
pepper
Directions
Prepare all the ingredients.
Core the pineapple, then cut
the flesh into 3cm cubes and
sprinkle with the brown sugar.
Put a frying pan on to heat, then
add the butter. When the butter
is starting to sizzle, add the pineapple
pieces and fry over a gentle
heat until they are caramelised
on all sides.
Cool. Cut the avocados into
2-3cm cubes. Break the cheese
into small pieces and slice the
onion paper-thin. Slice the chilli
into thin pieces. Make the dressing
by shaking all the ingredients
together in a jar.
To serve, line a flat serving
plate with the fresh salad leaves.
Toss the avocado, pineapple,
cheese, chilli and red onion
together on top of the leaves.
Drizzle over the dressing and
serve at once.

is the winter

showing how
deciduous
hedges have
structure and
interest even
in the quiet
season.
• By Sue Witteman
HEDGES ARE an important
structural element in your
garden.
If you are considering planting
a hedge, in an ideal world, you
will have done your digging a few
months before planting day. This
allows the soil to settle before
you plant rather than after – it’s
amazing how much fluffy soil can
sink – and this gives the roots
more purchase in the settled soil.
You can then top up the soil level
if you need to.
It’s best to plant when the soil
is naturally moist i.e. in autumn
or end of winter/spring. But if
this is not possible, you can plant
any time of year but will need to
put in a bit more effort – avoid
waterlogged or frosty soil though.
If planting when dry, dig your
trench or holes, fill with water
and let drain. ‘Bubble’ your hedge
plants in a large bucket of water
so that there are no dry spots in
the root ball, plant, and water in
well.
Before planting, tease the
roots out or, if root-bound, slice
the bottom off the root-ball
and spread out the roots at the
bottom.
You may need to cut the new
roots up the sides if they are really
congested – roots that are circling
around the root ball never
untangle themselves. I am quite
hard on root balls.
Sometimes the top of the plant
also needs a trim. Cut it back by
a third to a half – I know, I know,
you don’t want to cut anything off
– but the aim is to have the plant
bushy down low, and this training
needs to start at the beginning.
If your plant is already suitably
bushy, then just nip the ends to
keep that bushiness continuing.
If you are planting when it’s
windy – especially if it’s a hot, dry
wind or a cold wind, then you can
cover the hedge with windbreak
cloth – use bent wire, tent pegs,
stones or what you have to hand
to weigh it down.
Keep the watering happening;
to see if it needs water, dig a small
hole with an implement to see
how moist it is.
I will just note here that
watering is crucial at this early
stage and, as usual, a deep water
is required rather than just a
lackadaisical sprinkling.
Mulch after planting – keep the
mulch away from the base of the
plants though.
For smaller hedges, such as
buxus, plant approximately 25cm
apart. For medium-sized hedges,
such as escallonia, plant about
60cm apart and for bigger hedges,
such as Portugese laurel, plant at
1m.
Hedges can be planted in a
single row or a staggered double
row (useful if a really dense hedge
or windbreak is required).
If you are planning on putting
in a longish hedge, then it would
pay to order your plants in
advance from a nursery, as come
planting time they may all have
been snaffled up.
This also means that they
will all be all the same size and
age, which is desirable. While
it is tempting to go for the
biggest plants – as when you
want a hedge, you want it now
– I suggest you go for a smaller
grade which will not only be less
expensive, but will also settle in
and start growing quicker.
If you are putting in a
deciduous hedge such as
hornbeam, then it is cheaper to
buy bare-rooted plants that come
into the nurseries in winter.
Warning – on no account let
the roots dry out before planting
happens, get the plants in the preprepared
soil as soon as possible.

hedges growing
In terms of choice, the
main considerations are
what height you want
the hedge to finally be,
do you want deciduous
or evergreen and what is
suitable hedge material for
your area.
As with planting trees, do
believe that innocent little
plant may indeed grow in
to the monster it says on
the label, and maybe choose
an alternative plant.
Also check what width
the hedge will attain – an
important consideration if
the hedge is by a flower bed
or vege garden (beware of
shade or hungry roots).
Think about whether
you want your hedge to be
formal (closely clipped) or
informal (lightly clipped or
not clipped at all). Hedges
can be also made into
interesting shapes such as
‘cloud’ hedges or have bits
cut out like crenulations,
or they could be multicoloured.
If you do opt for a
two-toned hedge, check
that the growth-rates of
the two varieties are the
same so that your hedge
grows evenly. Use your
imagination to create your
own unique hedge.
Find out if the hedge you
want to plant is a fast or
slow grower, so you know
what time frame you are
looking at to achieve your

mature hedge.
Most hedges don’t get
thought about much in
winter, but keep an eye on
your evergreen hedges as
they can get surprisingly
dry in winter – have a
scratch around every so
often to check whether this
is happening.
Feed your hedges at the
end of winter to set them
up for the growing season
to come. I use a granulated
slow-release fertiliser. I
don’t add any fertiliser
when I initially plant the
hedge, it doesn’t need it
until the roots get going
properly so wait a year until
you start feeding it.
Depending on the variety
you have planted, you
may be cutting the hedge
anything from one to six
times a year.
Usually the faster the
growth, the more it has to
be clipped. A rule of thumb
is to cut your hedge after
the first flush of growth in
spring when the leaves and
branchlets have started to
harden a bit. You can do
it again if needed in early
autumn. If you have a fast
grower such as Teucrium or
Escallonia, you will need to
cut more often so just do it
when you need to.
If your hedge is a
flowering one such as
a camellia, then prune
immediately after flowering
has finished. When cutting
your hedge, keep your
hedge wider at the bottom
than at the top – this lets
light into the base and helps
avoid bare patches.
Where I can, my choice
of hedge plant will be one
that can be cut back hard if
needed. I like the insurance
of being able to renovate
and re-shape a hedge that
may be in need of remedial
work.
If you do have a hedge
that has grown too big or
looks ungainly, you can
whack it right back, feed
and water it, and begin
retraining it with clipping
or nipping.

Nothing beats home-grown cucumbers
• By Henri Ham
I OFTEN hear gardeners
say nothing beats eating
home-grown fruit and vegetables.
In fact, I say the same thing
myself. And if I had to pick one
plant that this really rings true for
– I would pick cucumber.
The cucumbers we have grown
in the last few seasons have been
crisp, juicy, cool, delicious and
would, no question, beat storebought
cucumber by miles any
time.
So, if you only plant one
vegetable this season, though
technically a fruit, I strongly recommend
you consider cucumber.
And don’t stop with just telegraph
cucumber (the long, skinny one
most commonly found in the
supermarket), try growing a
selection of cucumbers. Lebanese
has tender, edible skin with sweet,
mild-tasting flesh.
Short-green is great for growing
in smaller gardens as it produces
a lot of fruit but only requires one
third of the space of other cucumbers.
And apple looks much
like an apple (opposed to the long
look of a telegraph cucumber)
and it grows really nicely along
the ground.
Once you’ve got your plants, it’s
time to find a place to plant them.
They like a warm, dry and sunny
spot to grow in. And most varieties
will need a bit of space.
SUCCULENT: Apple
cucumbers will grow along
the ground and are a good
companion plant. Telegraph
cucumbers (right) will need to
be staked.
Telegraph and short green
cucumbers will need to either be
staked or grown next to something
they can grow up – like
a trellis. Plant these varieties
around 1m apart so each plant
has its own trellis/area to spread
over.
Apple cucumbers will happily
grow along the ground and
are a good companion plant for
zucchini as they like the same
conditions.
For a regular-sized bundle with
three seedlings you’ll need an area
around 2m x 2m and each seedling
should be planted about 1m
apart. I like to imagine I’m planting
them in the shape of a triangle
and each seedling goes on one of
the points of the triangle, this way
the plants are grouped together
but have enough room to spread
out.
Dig in some compost or
leftover potting mix into the soil
to ensure its friable (breaks up)
before you plant.
To encourage fruiting it’s a
good idea to plant your cucumbers
(and zucchini) near some
bee-attracting plants like lavender
or borage. Doing this will help
ensure the bees pollinate your
plants and as a consequence the
fruit develop.
If the plants aren’t pollinated
properly the flowers will fall off
and no fruit will develop. If you’d
like to be really sure they’re pollinated,
try touching the pollen
on each plant with a paintbrush
– this will spread the pollen from
one flower to the next.
I was once told by someone
that you could do the same with
an electric toothbrush, minus the
toothbrush head. I’m yet to try
this approach but would love to
hear from anyone who has.
In around 10 to 12 weeks you
should be able to enjoy the cool
and juicy taste of home-grown
cucumbers.
Many different varieties of tasty basil
• By Henri Ham
THERE ARE a couple of plants
where growers regularly report
that they find a little tricky
to grow. Coriander is one.
Watermelon is another. And the
one that always surprises me is
basil.
Basil is such a great plant to
have on hand. And there are so
many different varieites available
to try, I thought this month I’d
share my advice on how to get the
best out of your basil and move it
off that ‘tricky to grow’ list.
Basil loves the heat. So my first
piece of advice, is look for the
sunniest spot in your garden and
that’s where you should put your
basil.
If the sunniest spot at your
place is in your home (for example
by a kitchen window), then
try growing your basil there. Basil
grows really well in pots and can
easily be kept inside.
When you’ve found the right
spot to grow it just dig a little hole
and plant. If you’re growing it in
a pot I recommend using a good,
general potting mix.
My second tip for successful
basil is, pick it regularly. If
you don’t pick it quick enough
it might start to go to seed. If it
does, just pick off any developing
flower heads to encourage it to
stick to leaf growing.
Next, basil needs water but its
very important you don’t overwater
it. Water it when you plant
it and then water it regularly to
encourage lots of leaf growth. But,
and here’s the important advice,
let it dry out between waterings –
don’t let it stay wet.
And my last piece of advice is,
don’t just stick to sweet basil – try
growing cinnamon, Thai, lemon,
or one of the other varieties. A
good way of sampling the other
varieties is by getting a mixed
basil bundle which will include a
selection of some of the different
basil varieties.
If you do all of the above, basil
will quickly move to your list of
favourite, low-maintenance, easycare
plants.
EASY-CARE: Cinnamon basil
has a distinctive taste.

Cosmopolitan Montreal – a city of style
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Mike Yardley
THE ISLAND metropolis of
Montreal prides itself on being
Canada’s most eclectic and cosmopolitan
city, a city of style and
elegance with a cracking culinary
scene, impressively bilingual and
where arts and culture thrive.
All of this is wrapped within
the venerable bones of a heritageproud
city where the past and
present overlay each other.
It shivers through winter but
shines in summer, with locals
flocking to the patio bars and
cafes that festoon Montreal with
fabled al fresco exuberance.
A great starting point is down
in Place Royale at the Museum of
Archaeology and History (Pointeà-Callière
Museum.) Hop in the
lift and head underground to the
foundations of the city’s original
French settlement of the 1640s.
Revealed in 1989 following an
archaeological dig, this striking
museum has preserved the
foundations, walls and unearthed
artefacts of the 17th-century settlement,
all brilliantly illuminated.
Before wandering through the
remains of the six buildings, a
stirring multi-media show whisks
you through a potted history of
Montreal’s development, its highs
and lows over 375 years. It’s a
dramatic, poignant and uplifting
narration of the city’s back-story.
Place Royale is situated in Old
Montreal’s port district (Vieux-
Port De Montreal) gracing the
banks of the St Lawrence River.
Founded by the French in
1642, the cobbled harbourside
area of Vieux-Montreal stretches
back from the river for about
eight blocks, with hundreds OF
magnificently preserved heritage
buildings.
The most spectacularly sigh-inducing
street is Rue St Paul. I took
to the water on AML’s sightseeing
cruise, which provides superb
skyline views as you drift along
the storied St Lawrence River.
You’ll pass by St Helen’s Island
which was the site of Expo 67, and
where many expo landmarks still
linger. The United States’ expo
pavilion was a geodesic dome, like
Florida’s Epcot. It’s now home to
the Biosphere Museum.
You’ll also pass La Ronde, the
staggering amusement park built
for Expo 67 and still beloved for
its bone-shaking thrill rides like
Le Monstre, the world’s highest
wooden roller coaster. No thanks.
In honour of Montreal’s 375th
birthday this year, the iconic
Jacques Cartier Bridge, crossing
the St Lawrence, has been given a
dazzling touch-up, with thousands
of cutting-edge lighting
connections wrapped around its
ironwork.
The innovative digital light show
follows the seasons and has become
a new nocturnal riverside draw.
Further down the river, you’ll
get a fantastic view of Montreal’s
Olympic Stadium, one of the
most expensive stadiums ever
built in the world.
Mont-Royal backdrops downtown
Montreal and this 230m
hill literally gave rise to the city’s
name. Draping much of this lofty
mound is Parc du Mont-Royal,
a sprawling green space clad in
oak, maple and poplar trees. This
beloved urban oasis, which offers
great respite from the concrete
jungle and summer humidity,
was designed in the 1840s by
Frederick Olmsted, the same
fella responsible for New York’s
Central Park.
PROUD: (Far left) – St Helen’s
Island the site of Expo 67. The
United States’ contribution is
a geodesic dome. (Left) – The
iconic Jacques Cartier Bridge,
touched up for Montreal’s
375th birthday.
GETTING THERE:
•I booked my domestic
flights in Canada through an
award-winning travel search
engine, Skyscanner New
Zealand (skyscanner.co.nz).
It’s a fast and trustworthy
way to find cheap flights. The
more than 60 million global
travellers using Skyscanner
each month can’t be wrong.
It compares hundreds of
airlines across millions of
routes and is an excellent way
to score the best available
deals, no matter where you
want to go. Skyscanner also
has price-saving features like
‘Price Alerts’ which notify you
when the airfares increase or
decrease. What I particularly
like about Skyscanner is that
when I found the flights I
wanted and clicked to book,
Skyscanner links you directly
to the airline or travel agent
so there’s no hidden charges
or fees. In addition to sharppriced
flights, Skyscanner also
offers accommodation and
vehicle hire deals too. www.

Largest cast yet for Chch director
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
NATALIYA Oryshchuk may
have set up her own successful
theatre company in the city and
had her original plays recognised
internationally.
But she has never had the
chance to direct a cast as large
as the Canterbury Repertory
Theatre’s new production of
Arsenic and Old
Lace.
The play has
a cast of 13
members, which
is one of the
largest used for
a 20th century
play. It was an
Nataliya
Oryshchuk
opportunity
Oryshchuk
could not resist.
“The material
itself is a very strange comedy
with a dark twist and it is just my
cup of tea,” she said.
Written in 1939, the show is
about a successful theatre critic
who learns his aunts have been
poisoning old men for years.
The play was made famous in
in 1944 when it was turned into a
Hollywood film starring British-
American actor Cary Grant.
But Oryshchuk said she felt the
film was not Grant’s best work
and it was a little over the top,
she said. Her goal was to make
the humour more subtle.
“We found together with the
cast that sometimes it is funnier
when the characters are very
genuine about what is going
with their reactions,” Oryshchuk
said. The show finishes
off another successful year for
Oryshchuk.
Earlier this year, her original
play Token of Friendship made
the shortlist for the international
competition, Pint-Sized Plays, in
TROUBLE: The cast of the Canterbury Repertory Theatre’s new production of
Arsenic and Old Lace.
the United Kingdom.
Oryshchuk described it as her
most successful original comedy
show inspired by her experiences
of what it is like to be an immigrant
in New Zealand.
Born in the Ukraine, Oryshchuk
moved to the city about 15
years ago to escape the difficult
social and political situation
brewing in her country.
She said her show is based on
conversations she has had with
people who don’t understand
what it is like to be an immigrant.
“Particularly all these stereotypes
around immigrants
from Eastern Europe, especially
females with all the ridiculous
Russian bride assumptions.”
In 2012, Oryshchuk set up NO
Productions Theatre Collective,
which has since staged many
original theatre productions.
Although her most successful
play is a comedy, Oryshchuk is
a fan of Gothic material and is
working on a new play based on
Canterbury’s pioneering Deans
family.
Her theatre company is also
planning a new initiative to help
bring Canterbury playwrights
and actors together so they can
evaluate their own work and
use it in their professional development.
The initiative will be
launched next month.
•Arsenic and Old Lace will
run at Elmwood Auditorium
from November 22 to
December 2. To book tickets,

One more show for pop-up concert series
THE FINAL show for the year
from the Christchurch Pop Up
Concert Series is set to be staged
at the Isaac Theatre Royal.
Scottish-born urban, folk,
blues, jazz singer-songwriter,
Isabella Miller Bell, also known
as Ma Bell, will bring her pop-up
acoustic cabaret, Le Cabaret De
La Vie, to the theatre to finish the
series for the year.
The pop-up series is a six-year
artist-led music project launched
in 2011 to support performers
after the quakes.
Since 2011 the series has staged
more than 40 pop-up events
from sold out theatrical cabarets
to free outdoor concerts.
Funded by the Creative
Communities Scheme, the series
was started at the Redcliffs
Tennis Club.
For the final show Ma Bell will
bring together the vintage crème
of the crop from the acoustic
roots realm to tell the story of the
blues.
It will feature guitarists
including Jon Maxim Hooker,
James Wilkinson, and Radius
duo, Harry Harrison and Justine
S.
Jazz artist John Bevin, along
with other guest performers, are
lined up to take part in the show.

Andrew Lepper, owner of BPC Cars in
Yaldhust Road, Avonhead has been in the
motor trade industry since 1989, and over that
time has gained a wealth of knowledge and
experience.
“I started out at Team Hutchinson Ford, where I
worked for 10 years before going into business
for myself in 1999,” Andrew says.
“Up until recently I had a business partner but
he has now moved on to other adventures.
“Since launching the business we have sold
thousands of cars to people all over Canterbury
and New Zealand. There’s a lot of repeat
business and customers are always referring
their friends and families.
“The business still trades under the same name,
but I am now the sole owner, while my righthand
man Jake is responsible for making sure
the yard always looks good and the cars are
clean and tidy.”
BPC Cars deals mostly in cars in the $4000
to $10,000 price range; however, they are also
well known for having a good selection of preowned
Fords, Andrew says.
“We predominantly stock Fords and Toyotas
with a good mix of New Zealand New and
Japanese imports, which I personally select
while in Japan.”
Andrew says he is a proud MTA member and
has always adhered to the values of the Motor
Trade Association.
“Buying a car can be a daunting experience,
so I’ve always tried to make it as relaxed as
possible – it should be an exciting and fun thing
to do!
“We arrange vehicle finance through Motor
Trade Finance in Hornby, as they are only a
few minutes away. They seem to have some of
the most competitive rates and they are great
people to talk to. We will also happily deal
with any other finance company that potential
customers may currently use.”
Andrew has recently installed a new automatic
coffee machine at the office, with customers
welcome to help themselves to a takeaway
coffee while they browse around the yard.
Away from the business, he follows Canterbury
Rugby and the All Blacks.
“I also enjoy watching motor sport and have
been involved with standardbred horse racing
at a club and ownership level.
“I also love live music and over the past five
years or so I have attended many concerts with
my three daughters, who are 16, 14 and 12. I also
have two sons, 10 and eight.”
BPC Cars is located at 198 Yaldhurst Road.

Holden covers bases with Astra sedan
• By Ross Kiddie
WHEN I look back through the
long list of vehicles I’ve owned,
it’s interesting to note that only
two of them weren’t sedans.
I guess that is some kind of an
indication that I like the booted
car, more so when it’s a sport
sedan.
It would be an exaggeration to
classify Holden’s new Astra as a
sport sedan, but it certainly is the
latter. And full marks to Holden,
and Opel, for making the Astra
sedan available in New Zealand,
it joins a hatchback and wagon
range here and I certainly hope
it does well against the market
trend towards sport utility vehicles.
Until I drive the wagon,
which also appeals to me, I’d go
as far as to say the sedan is the
pick of the bunch.
One of the reasons is that its
extra load space is generous –
445-litres against 360-litres in the
hatch, at the same time losing
nothing in vehicle dynamics; in
fact, I think it’s handling is just
a little better, a few kilograms
towards the rear improves balance.
At the other end, the Astra
sedan utilises much the same
driveline as its stablemates, with
six-speed manual and automatic
gearbox options.
The test car was the
latter and it was coupled to a
four-cylinder, turbocharged
engine of 1399cc. Holden rates it
with 110kW and 240Nm power
outputs.
These figures are healthy
enough in themselves, but it
you also take into account the
areas where they are maximised
(6500rpm and 2400rpm all of the
way to 4000rpm) there is a solid
flow of energy all through the rev
band.
I particularly like the way the
engine picks up the gaps as it
flows from gear to gear; the shifts
are smooth, and with the low
and close ratios under immediate
acceleration there is a feisty type
of feel from beneath the throttle
HOLDEN ASTRA: Sedan fits well in comprehensive range.
pedal.
That’s also the case at all speeds,
when the journey necessitates
gentle throttle pressure, the Astra
also feels quite at ease.
For interest’s sake, the Astra
1.4 turbo will accelerate from a
standstill to 100km/h in 8.7sec,
and it will complete a 80km/h
to 120km/h overtaking time of
6.7sec.
On the subject of figures,
Holden claims a 5.8-litre per
100km (48mpg) combined cycle
fuel usage average which is quite
bold, but I would suggest quite
achievable nonetheless. During
the five days the evaluation car
was in my possession, the display
graphics were constantly listing
around 8l/100km (35mpg).
That figure is thanks to low
fuel use at highway speed –
4.5l/100km (62mpg) at a steady
100km/h cruise, with the engine
turning over very relaxed at
1800rpm.
I took the Astra sedan on a hill
road I don’t often use, one which
incorporates a lot of slow speed
tight corners, the endless twists
and turns certainly gave good
GENEROUS: The Astra sedan’s load space accounts for
445-litres.
indication of the Astra’s handling
dynamics.
Providing the grip in the first
instance are sport specification
and low profile Kumho tyres
(225/45 x 18in). By sheer nature
of their profile they have a wide
tenure with the road and high
grip levels. The tyres also help
promote strong steering feedback
and accurate turn-in.
Astra hatchback models have
the benefit of a Watts Linkage
system across the rear axle to
enhance stability; sadly, the sedan
doesn’t get that, but nevertheless,
suspension movement allows just
enough wheel freedom to absorb
the big hits along with arresting
body movement.
The entire handling feel is balanced
thanks to spring and damper
rates which are firm, but not so
much that they spoil the ride.
• Price – Holden Astra sedan

• Dimensions – Length,

automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.7.sec
• Fuel usage – 6.3l/100km
The evaluation car was an LTZ
model which means it is high
spec and lands here at $38,490.
There are two other variants –
LS and LT – which are priced at
$29,490 and $34,490 respectively,
the base specification non-leather
model would probably be my
choice.
Nevertheless, the LTZ wants for
little, it has all the kit you’d expect
from a range-topper such as full
leather trim with heated front
seats, electric sunroof, Apple Car
Play and Android Auto, satellite
navigation and an extensive safety
package which easily meets the
five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program criteria.
Holden, on both sides of the
Tasman, is undergoing substantial
change with the recent closure
of the Australian manufacturing
operation.
That being the case, the company
is reinventing itself and has
a broad plan to fulfil its obligation
to the car buying public. The
Astra is just one part of an extensive
line-up of models which will
land here in the next year or so
– all badged Holden and landing
from many different global
plants.
If you add in a tempting threeyear
free service and roadside
assistance programme recently
announced by Holden New
Zealand, it would make a lot of
sense to buy into the brand, and
its good cars like the Astra, in
all body styles, that are there to
tempt.

The biggest range of vehicles in one location
Tongans set for quarter-final
• By Gordon Findlater
CANTERBURY fans will get
the opportunity to witness the
biggest talking point of the
Rugby League World Cup on
Saturday – Tonga.
The Tongans will look to continue
their hot run of form in a
quarter-final against Lebanon at
Christchurch Stadium (AMI).
For many, Tonga have brought
a refreshing change of unpredictability
to the tournament
which, only a few months ago,
looked destined to once again be
dominated by Australia with the
Kiwis and England looking to
throw a spanner in the works.
Queensland Cowboys star
Jason Taumalolo shocked the
league world by announcing he
would snuff the Kiwis to play for
his nation of birth, Tonga. Soon
after, fellow Kiwi hopefuls Manu
Ma’u, Sio Siua Taukieaho and
David Fusitu’a all followed his
lead.
If they beat Lebanon, Tonga
will likely face England in the
semi-final. After what transpired
in their match against the Kiwis,
it wouldn’t be wise to bet against
them going all the way to the
final in Brisbane on December 2.
First, though, they must get
past the Lebanese, who will come
in well-drilled by coach Brad
Fittler following their 0-34 loss to
Australia. There is no doubting
they have the quality to produce
an upset with eight players who
have NRL experience, including
skipper Robbie Farah, Mitchell
Moses, Tim Mannah, Michael
Lichaa, Alex Twal and Reece
Robinson.

Saturday, the awards celebrated
the achievements of a range
of players, coaches, teams and
match officials from both the
international and domestic game
over seven categories.
Longo’s award was one of five
nominations for the Pride, which
included Mike De Bono for

The award reflected Longo’s
commitment and dedication
to both the Football Ferns and
Pride over the last decade. She
brought up her 100th cap for the
Football Ferns on the recent tour
to the United States.
Longo says she was surprised
and humbled to win the award,
given the calibre of players

MOORE PARK will be the scene
of a trans-Tasman sidecar battle
tomorrow.
Eight combinations from

national champions Trent
Headland and Daz Whetstone –
will do battle with the Kiwis.
Headland lives in the South
Australian desert and takes
more than 20 hours to travel
one-way to race at four different
tracks.
Many of the Australian contingent
will come to New Zealand
looking for revenge. Several
of the Kiwi team have ventured
over to Australia before, and the
Kiwi team ended up standing
on the top step of the podium in
Tamworth, New South Wales.
New Zealand will be led by
current national champions,
Derek and Aaron Ramsay, of
Palmerston North. The father
and son team have raced in

trips down to the South Island

Longo. The other big winner on
the night was All Whites striker
Chris Wood, who was named

The ceremony was held as part
of a charity dinner, which sought
to raise funds for the New

& Property
What you need to know
when you’re buying to let
Buying a property is always a big deal,
whether you’re planning to live in it
yourself or not. Nearly 40 per cent of
New Zealand property buyers already
own multiple properties, according
to recent data from CoreLogic, but
that doesn’t make buying one as an
investment any less of a bold move.
If you’re thinking about buying an
investment property it’s crucial to do
all your homework about the ups and
downs of both investing in property
and becoming a landlord. There’s a lot
to take into account, such as the tax
implications if the property is re-sold
within two years (or five, when the new
Government implements its plans).
Some councils levy rates differently
depending on how a property is used,
which can add significantly to your
costs, and insuring a tenanted property
can cost more because rentals are more
subject to damage.
When you’re buying a property that
is vacant you are generally entitled to
one opportunity to a final inspection
of it before settlement (when you pay
the balance of the money to the seller
and get the keys). This inspection is to
make sure that it’s in the same or better
order as when you viewed it and agreed
to the sale. If you’re buying a property
with sitting tenants this process is more
difficult and can raise all sorts of issues.
To make sure you can still conduct a
final inspection, we recommend asking
your lawyer to ensure there is a ‘final
inspection’ clause inserted in the sale
and purchase agreement before you
sign it. If you’re buying a property by
auction, you will have to negotiate this
with the seller (through
the real estate agent)
before the auction takes
place. You’ll also have
to make this a condition
of the sale if buying by
tender or deadline sale,
if not agreed prior. Your
lawyer can help you
navigate this process.
You may also wish to
seek advice about getting
a methamphetamine test
included as a condition
of the sale.

E: mike@starmedia.kiwi
A change of ownership also doesn’t mean
you have the immediate right to ask the
current tenants to move out. Generally
speaking, under the Residential
Tenancies Act tenants must be given at
least 42 days’ notice to leave a property.
If you want the property to be empty
when you take ownership, you may
need to negotiate a longer settlement
period with the seller to enable this. If
you’re taking over the property with the
tenants in place for the remainder of
their tenancy agreement, the previous
owner must let the tenants know that
you are the new owner and give you a
copy of the existing tenancy agreement.
When you take over ownership, you
must tell the tenants your name and
contact details, and advise them how
their rent is to be paid. If someone else
is managing the property for you, let the
tenants know who to contact in case of
any issues.
Most tenancies require a bond to be
paid as security in case of any damage or
unpaid rent. When a tenanted property
is sold, the seller cannot make a claim
to any bond unless this is done before
the property changes hands. It’s a good
idea to check with your lawyer that any
bond conditions are spelled out in the
sale and purchase agreement.
Lastly, don’t forget to factor in that
buying an investment property also
requires you to become a landlord with
a long list of responsibilities to your
tenants. It’s your investment, but it’s
their home.
