Bid to<br />

stop<br />

Canty<br />

bank<br />

closures<br />

• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia<br />

O’Connor-Harding<br />

RESISTANCE IS building in a<br />

bid to stop the closure of Westpac<br />

branches in Canterbury.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bank has plans to close its<br />

New Brighton, Sydenham and<br />

Lincoln branches and is currently<br />

consulting with staff.<br />

Westpac says internet and<br />

mobile phone banking, and<br />

changing populations because of<br />

the earthquakes, is the reason for<br />

the plan.<br />

A ommunity group in New<br />

Brighton is fighting to stop the<br />

potential closure of its Westpac<br />

branch.<br />

And Coastal-Burwood Ward<br />

city councillor David East is<br />

planning to get the backing of<br />

Development Christchurch Ltd<br />

to try and stop the New Brighton<br />

closure.<br />

DCL is a city councilowned<br />

company charged with<br />

reinvigorating New Brighton,<br />

with an emphasis on creating<br />

business.<br />

Said Cr East: “It is a huge<br />

disappointment to me to see<br />

another banking institution<br />

potentially moving out of New<br />

Brighton.<br />

“We are talking with Westpac<br />

to see if we can get this decision<br />

put off for a while longer until<br />

such time when we can see if the<br />

hot salt water pools and the business<br />

reinvigoration will impact on<br />

the business sector on this side of<br />

town.”<br />

THE WORLD is a quickly<br />

changing place, faster than<br />

anytime in human existence.<br />

All businesses are threatened<br />

in some way by the internet and,<br />

in 10 years time, we will live in a<br />

very different age to now.<br />

On page 1 today, more Westpac<br />

banks are likely to close,<br />

effectively a casualty of internet<br />

banking.<br />

<strong>The</strong> planned bank closures<br />

are a blow to the communities<br />

they service, particularly for the<br />

elderly who obviously rely less<br />

on the internet.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are plans to fight the<br />

New Brighton closure and time<br />

will tell whether it is effective.<br />

I suspect not, unless the bank’s<br />

rent is paid for.<br />

On a more positive note,<br />

Lianne Dalziel (see page 4) looks<br />

like she will move to streamline<br />

rebuild organisations like<br />

Development Christchurch and<br />

Regenerate Christchurch.<br />

That is a smart and overdue<br />

move. <strong>The</strong>re’s been far too much<br />

bureaucracy in the rebuild.<br />

She and new re-build minister,<br />

Megan Woods, look like an<br />

effective team.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />

This day in history saw the<br />

Provincial Council buildings<br />

(right) in Durham St completed<br />

on <strong>November</strong> 21, 1865. <strong>The</strong><br />

complex of buildings was<br />

architect B. W. Mountfort’s<br />

masterpiece. He had survived<br />

a professional disaster soon<br />

after arrival in New Zealand<br />

when his first building, a<br />

church in Lyttelton, had proved in a SAFE Air Bristol freighter<br />

structurally unsound and had to crash at Russley golf course.<br />

be demolished. On <strong>November</strong> On <strong>November</strong> 22, 1986, Pope<br />

21, 1957, four people were killed John Paul II, (the first head of<br />

THEATRE/ARTS 34<br />

the Catholic Church) visited<br />

the city. On the same day a year<br />

later, the Trans Alpine express<br />

train, designed specifically<br />

for the tourist trade, began its<br />

daily run from Christchurch to<br />

Greymouth. On <strong>November</strong> 25,<br />

1940, the Holmwood, en route<br />

from the Chathams to Lyttelton,<br />

was sunk by German raiders.<br />

Passengers and crew were taken<br />

aboard the German ships, and<br />

eventually made their way home<br />

two months later.<br />

inspires people to take time to<br />

breathe, while the third outlines the<br />

Edmond St or Edmonds St?<br />

Council sure to rise on<br />

missing ‘s’ in street name<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

CONCERNS WERE sure to rise<br />

over the misspelling of a street<br />

named after the man behind a<br />

Kiwi kitchen icon.<br />

<strong>The</strong> family of Thomas John<br />

Edmonds, who founded the<br />

Edmonds Sure to Rise baking<br />

powder, has asked the<br />

city council to change<br />

Edmond St to Edmonds<br />

St in Linwood.<br />

<strong>The</strong> street was named<br />

after T J Edmonds, but<br />

somehow between 1886-<br />

1893, the letter ‘s’ had<br />

been removed.<br />

To correct the name,<br />

the city council has to<br />

consult with the street’s<br />

residents, because their<br />

address would have to change.<br />

<strong>The</strong> change would need to be<br />

supported by at least 85 per cent<br />

of them.<br />

John Edmonds said he had<br />

always presumed Edmond St was<br />

named after his great-grandfather,<br />

because it was next to where<br />

the former factory was.<br />

“I’d always been a bit disappointed<br />

Edmond St seemed to be<br />

misnamed.”<br />

He said T J Edmonds was<br />

inducted into the New Zealand<br />

Business Hall of Fame in July,<br />

which prompted him to get in<br />

touch with the city council about<br />

it.<br />

“I think it is important that<br />

they show that courtesy and<br />

respect.”<br />

Edmond St runs off Aldwins<br />

Rd and sits next to the Edmonds<br />

Factory Gardens.<br />

T J Edmonds had the gardens<br />

created around his factory, which<br />

was built in 19<strong>23</strong>.<br />

Although the iconic factory<br />

was controversially<br />

demolished in 1990,<br />

it still appears on the<br />

cover of the Edmonds<br />

Cookery Book with the<br />

iconic sunray motif<br />

on it.<br />

T J Edmonds was a<br />

well-known philanthropist.<br />

He built the Edmonds<br />

Band Rotunda<br />

in 1929.<br />

He also partly, or fully funded,<br />

several other buildings including<br />

Kilmore St’s demolished Repertory<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre, the Clock Tower<br />

on Oxford Tce, and the former<br />

<strong>The</strong>osophical Society building on<br />

Cambridge Tce.<br />

John Edmonds said the family<br />

was “delighted” the city council<br />

had committed to restoring<br />

the earthquake-damaged band<br />

rotunda.<br />

Consultation on whether to<br />

change the street name is expected<br />

to be done early next year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board would<br />

then need to approve the change.<br />

Final chance to remember Lancaster Park<br />

GOT A photo of the U2 concert<br />

at Lancaster Park back in 1989?<br />

Or of you and your mates<br />

watching cricket from the old<br />

grass embankments?<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council and Vbase<br />

want people to share their photos<br />

or illustrations of Lancaster Park<br />

before it is demolished. <strong>The</strong> images<br />

could feature on signage to<br />

be put up around the site before,<br />

and during, the demolition.<br />

Vbase general manager Darren<br />

Burden said the stadium had<br />

hosted a number of concerts and<br />

sports events.<br />

“We’re sure plenty of these<br />

magic moments will have been<br />

caught on camera over the years,<br />

or maybe people might like to<br />

put pen to paper as a way of<br />

remembering a special moment<br />

they had at the stadium.”<br />

All entries must be received by<br />

December 22 and can be made<br />

on the city council’s website.<br />

Mr Burden said the demolition<br />

would take about a year, beginning<br />

in March. <strong>The</strong> signage was<br />

hoped to be installed by mid-<br />

February.<br />

A number of items have been<br />

salvaged from the stadium, such<br />

as seats and memorabilia. So far,<br />

8300 seats have been re-homed<br />

across the country.<br />

its South-east Asian precinct.<br />

MINI PUTT QUAKE RELIC<br />

A symbol of the destructive<br />

power of the September 4, 2010,<br />

earthquake could become part<br />

of a new mini-golf course. <strong>The</strong><br />

Medway St footbridge, Richmond,<br />

was twisted beyond repair and put<br />

into storage. Gap Filler is building<br />

a temporary heritage-themed<br />

mini-golf course in the East Frame<br />

and want to incorporate part of<br />

the bridge into it. City councillors<br />

will decide today whether to<br />

approve the plan.<br />

MORE PARK REPAIR DELAYS<br />

<strong>The</strong> reopening of sports fields at<br />

Carlton Mill has been delayed<br />

until March due to poor weather.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has been relevelling<br />

the earthquake-damaged<br />

ground and natural grass fields<br />

were being built with irrigation<br />

and drainage. It was meant to<br />

be finished by now, but due to<br />

“significant weather events”, the<br />

opening has been pushed out to<br />

March 14. Meanwhile, Sydenham<br />

Park will be complete by February<br />

12. Originally it was meant to be<br />

finished before the end of the year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

UNCERTAIN FUTURE: <strong>The</strong> Westpac bank in New Brighton.<br />

Bid to stop bank closures<br />

•From page 1<br />

However, Westpac spokewoman<br />

Heather Shiels said: “Our<br />

customers are increasingly using<br />

technology for their banking<br />

needs, which is resulting in fewer<br />

branch transactions.”<br />

Community group New<br />

Brighton Project has set up a<br />

facebook campaign to stop the<br />

closure.<br />

Ms Shiels said online transactions<br />

have increased by 66 per<br />

cent in five years while customers<br />

using mobile-only devices have<br />

increased from 24 to 39 per cent<br />

in the last two years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> earthquakes have also<br />

played a role in the potential<br />

closures, said Ms Shiels.<br />

“Since the 2010 and 2011<br />

earthquakes the region has<br />

experienced significant shifts in<br />

population, which have impacted<br />

where people are living, working<br />

and banking.”<br />

First Union, which represents<br />

bank staff, said it was “odd” for<br />

the earthquakes to be used as a<br />

reason for a branch to close particularly<br />

in Lincoln.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> stats quite clearly demonstrate<br />

the population is growing<br />

. . . we have been puzzled by it,”<br />

southern region secretary Paul<br />

Watson.<br />

Lincoln’s population is projected<br />

to grow to 9190 by 2025.<br />

ASB recently set up a branch in<br />

Lincoln.<br />

First Union will meet with Westpac’s<br />

senior officials and managers<br />

in Auckland on Monday to discuss<br />

the planned closures.<br />

Westpac is looking to transfer<br />

affected staff to other branches.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bank is also opening a new<br />

central city branch in March.<br />

Merge organisations – Dalziel<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

DRAFT: Regenerate Christchurch is tasked with coming up<br />

with a landscaping plan for Cathedral Square.<br />

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel<br />

yesterday signalled more<br />

shake-ups in the Christchurch<br />

rebuild could be on the horizon.<br />

Ms Dalziel said she wanted<br />

to see Regenerate Christchurch<br />

and Development Christchurch<br />

Ltd merged within the next two<br />

years.<br />

It comes a day after new Minster<br />

for Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Megan Woods<br />

scrapped the preferred contractor<br />

for the Metro Sport Facility<br />

due to a $75 million budget blow<br />

out, which had the backing of<br />

Ms Dalziel.<br />

“I want to see Regenerate<br />

Christchurch and Development<br />

Christchurch merged. I want<br />

the focus of Otakaro to be the<br />

delivery of the major anchor<br />

projects that they have been<br />

given control of, just get<br />

on and do that,” she told<br />

Newstalk ZB yesterday.<br />

Regenerate Christchurch’s<br />

main tasks are<br />

coming up with plans<br />

for the residential red<br />

zone, Cathedral Square<br />

as well as other pockets<br />

in the city.<br />

DCL deals with some of the<br />

city council’s major capital projects,<br />

such as revitalising New<br />

Brighton, and provides a single<br />

point of entry for investors and<br />

developers.<br />

Ms Dalziel (left) said<br />

she wanted to speak to the<br />

Government about merging<br />

the two.<br />

“If we combine their<br />

resources, I think the city<br />

would get a better outcome<br />

and more quickly. I<br />

think that if it turned itself into<br />

more of a regeneration authority<br />

or an urban development<br />

authority, that would enable it<br />

to utilise the legislation that it’s<br />

been given by central Government.”<br />

Ms Dalziel said she signalled<br />

the move during her mayoral<br />

campaign last year.<br />

She said it was always<br />

assumed the two would<br />

merge after five years in<br />

2021, but she wanted it done<br />

sooner. It would require a<br />

Government legislation change,<br />

she said.<br />

A WOMAN found dead in<br />

Lewis.<br />

Her body was discovered in<br />

the bath of a Charnwood Cres<br />

property, in the early hours of<br />

yesterday morning, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has<br />

learned.<br />

Police were called to the<br />

property at about 2.40am<br />

investigation throughout the<br />

morning, and at noon a hearse<br />

arrived to take the body away.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant<br />

Mike Ford said a post-mortem<br />

is under way and that is all the<br />

information they can release at<br />

this stage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> death was described as<br />

‘unexplained’ yesterday morning.<br />

Tributes for Ms Lewis, also<br />

known as ‘Candy’, started to<br />

flow on Facebook on Wednesday<br />

afternoon.<br />

One person posted: “R.I.P<br />

candyce (sic) u will never be<br />

forgotten xoxo.”<br />

Another said: “RIP Candy gone<br />

but never forgotten x.”<br />

A friend and neighbour spread<br />

rose petals over the driveway of<br />

the property as a tribute to his<br />

friend.<br />

He described her as an<br />

‘amazing mum’ who had a<br />

‘massive heart of gold’.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council would be<br />

asked if a mural could be painted<br />

dedicated to her in the alleyway<br />

beside her home, he said.<br />

EAGLE-EYED pedestrians<br />

have found something a bit<br />

perplexing about some of the<br />

city’s traffic light crossing<br />

instructions.<br />

It appears instructions on<br />

what to do, well, cancelled<br />

each other out.<br />

At the the top of the<br />

signal on the corner of<br />

Colombo and Cashel Sts, it<br />

directed people to ‘press the<br />

button’.<br />

But below the button it<br />

said ‘please do not touch’.<br />

Huh?<br />

While some may have<br />

thought the city council is<br />

losing its marbles, it turns<br />

out the stickers had been left<br />

by persons unnamed.<br />

Said Christchurch<br />

‘Insulting’ cartoons debated in court<br />

• By Sam Hurley<br />

TWO controversial newspaper<br />

cartoons are “certainly insulting”<br />

but whether the images breached<br />

the Human Rights Act has<br />

become a matter of legal debate.<br />

Labour MP Louisa Wall is appealing<br />

a Human Rights Tribunal<br />

decision in the High Court at<br />

Auckland this week which found<br />

two Fairfax Media cartoons did<br />

not promote racial disharmony<br />

against Maori and Pacifika.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cartoons by award-winner<br />

Al Nisbet were published in<br />

<strong>The</strong> Press on May 30, 2013, and<br />

Marlborough Express the previous<br />

day.<br />

<strong>The</strong> images portrayed the<br />

issue of the food in schools programme,<br />

“a measure intended to<br />

mitigate some of the worst consequences<br />

of child poverty”, the<br />

Human Rights Tribunal decision<br />

from May reads.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tribunal concluded that<br />

although the cartoons were<br />

insulting, they were not likely<br />

to “excite hostility against or to<br />

bring into contempt Maori and<br />

Pacifika on the ground of their<br />

colour, race, or ethnic or national<br />

origins”.<br />

Ms Wall took exception to the<br />

images and claimed the cartoons<br />

breached the Human Rights Act<br />

by promoting racial disharmony.<br />

Fairfax argues its cartoons<br />

were consistent with the Bill of<br />

Rights, which affords every New<br />

Zealander the right to freedom<br />

of expression, including the freedom<br />

to seek, receive, and impart<br />

information and opinions of any<br />

kind in any form.<br />

Justice Matthew Muir said at<br />

an initial hearing on <strong>November</strong><br />

1 that he wanted a panel to<br />

preside over the case, after<br />

expressing “some reservations”<br />

about whether he held superior<br />

qualifications to the members of<br />

the Human Rights Tribunal.<br />

He said he was “very, very<br />

wary” and given the “huge public<br />

implications” and interest of<br />

what is a test case.<br />

Justice Muir said the panel was<br />

tasked with “looking afresh” at<br />

the question of whether there<br />

is a breach of section 61 of the<br />

Human Rights Act. Section 61<br />

outlines the unlawfulness for any<br />

person to publish or distribute<br />

material that is threatening,<br />

abusive, or insulting and likely to<br />

excite hostility against or bring<br />

into contempt any group of persons<br />

in, or who may be coming<br />

to New Zealand, on the grounds<br />

of the colour, race, or ethnicity<br />

or national origins.<br />

However, the legislation<br />

also reads that it shall not be a<br />

breach of the law if a newspaper,<br />

magazine, or broadcast report<br />

accurately conveys the intention<br />

of the person who published or<br />

distributed the matter or broadcast<br />

or used the words.<br />

“No-one is contending that the<br />

advertisements were not insulting,<br />

we certainly all regard them<br />

as insulting,” Justice Muir said.<br />

“Are there particularly feebleminded<br />

people or bigoted people<br />

out there that would find these<br />

[cartoons] incite hostility and<br />

contempt?”<br />

Ms Wall’s counsel Prue Kapua<br />

said the issue was not about the<br />

cartoonist, but the depiction of<br />

Maori and Pacifika as “welfare<br />

bludgers and negligent parents”<br />

who spent their money on gambling<br />

and smokes.<br />

However, Justice Muir said<br />

that the tribunal’s decision<br />

showed New Zealand was a<br />

society that encouraged a free<br />

market of ideas in a socially<br />

liberal and tolerant country.<br />

Canterbury retirees among most<br />

Canterbury’s retirees<br />

are some of the<br />

most active in the<br />

country, according<br />

to a new report. It<br />

also looks at what<br />

sports Cantabrians<br />

are playing. Bridget<br />

Rutherford reports<br />

EVERY WEDNESDAY morning<br />

a group of cyclists meet at <strong>The</strong><br />

Princess Margaret Hospital car<br />

park, jump on their bikes and<br />

head to Tai Tapu.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y call themselves the<br />

Magpies.<br />

Some are doctors on their day<br />

off from work, others are nurses<br />

or mums. But most are retirees.<br />

Graeme Milner and Roy<br />

Pemberton started the group<br />

about 20 years ago. It has grown<br />

to have more than 50 members.<br />

Mr Milner, a veteran cyclist<br />

who represented New Zealand<br />

in 1964, said he loved it for the<br />

fitness and the social aspect.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 87-year-old is one of the<br />

oldest in the group – but he says<br />

age is no barrier and anyone is<br />

welcome. He reckons he will<br />

“It’s the best exercise you can<br />

do. You just have to say it’s going<br />

to take you a wee bit longer than<br />

it used to.”<br />

Sport Canterbury’s draft<br />

Spaces and Places Report which<br />

looked at sport in the region<br />

and the facilities available, said<br />

retirees did more cycling, golf,<br />

bowls, aquarobics than the<br />

national average.<br />

Young retirees aged 65-75<br />

were more likely to take part<br />

in cycling, golf, bowls or<br />

aquarobics.<br />

Twenty-seven per cent cycled,<br />

19 per cent played golf, 10 per<br />

cent did aquarobics, while six per<br />

cent played indoor bowls.<br />

In Canterbury, the number of<br />

young retirees who cycled was<br />

eight per cent higher than the<br />

national average, golf was 11 per<br />

cent above, aquarobics was eight<br />

per cent higher and indoor bowls<br />

was four per cent above.<br />

For those aged 75 and over, the<br />

number of golfers was four per<br />

cent above the national average,<br />

outdoor bowls was five per cent<br />

higher and indoor bowls was<br />

THUrsdaY JanUarY 31 2013<br />

three per cent above.<br />

Mr Milner said he thought<br />

more retirees were getting into<br />

cycling because it was good to<br />

stay healthy. Once the group got<br />

to Tai Tapu they stopped for a<br />

coffee and a chat, he said.<br />

Jeff Greenep, 80, agreed. He<br />

cycles about four times a week.<br />

He said he has been doing it<br />

since he was a kid.<br />

Cycling was the second most<br />

popular activity for those aged 16<br />

and over. <strong>The</strong> most popular was<br />

walking, at 67 per cent.<br />

That was followed by cycling<br />

with 36 per cent and swimming<br />

at 33 per cent.<br />

Twenty-four per cent did<br />

equipment-based exercise, such<br />

as going to the gym, while 20 per<br />

cent went running.<br />

Cricket and hunting rounded<br />

out the top 20, with about six per<br />

cent taking part in both.<br />

For five to 10-year-olds who<br />

were surveyed, swimming was<br />

the most popular activity at 90<br />

per cent, followed by biking,<br />

athletics, gymnastics and cross<br />

country.<br />

In the 11-14 and 15-18 age<br />

brackets, running took top spot,<br />

followed by swimming, athletics,<br />

basketball and biking.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

active, major sports report shows<br />

<strong>The</strong> draft Spaces and Places<br />

Report was prepared by Sport<br />

Canterbury to outline the current<br />

and planned sporting facilities<br />

following the September 2010<br />

and February 2011 earthquakes.<br />

As part of the report, it looked<br />

at how each code was impacted<br />

following the quakes.<br />

Sports such as tennis, athletics,<br />

bowls, golf, squash, cricket and<br />

surf life saving had seen a decline<br />

in memberships.<br />

Meanwhile, badminton,<br />

football, hockey, netball, rowing,<br />

rugby, league, swimming, touch<br />

and waterpolo had gone the other<br />

way.<br />

Certain sports with less<br />

facilities were analysed and<br />

interviewed to see what<br />

developments were under way<br />

and how they had been impacted<br />

following the quakes.<br />

Swimming appeared to be the<br />

worst hit because facilities such<br />

as QE II and Centennial Pool,<br />

were damaged or destroyed after<br />

the quakes.<br />

In 2010 the swimming<br />

membership was 1565. That<br />

dropped to 387 in 2011.<br />

In 2016 there were 1585<br />

registered swimmers, back up to<br />

pre-quake levels, although that<br />

ON THE RISE: <strong>The</strong> number of people playing football in<br />

Canterbury has steadily increased over the last 10 years.<br />

only included those who were<br />

members, not people who went<br />

for leisurely swims.<br />

Planning and construction of<br />

aquatic facilities were under way,<br />

such as Eastern Recreation and<br />

Aquatic Facility and the South<br />

West Leisure Centre in Hornby.<br />

However, the Metro Sport<br />

Facility’s future is unclear,<br />

after new Minister for Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />

Megan Woods on Tuesday<br />

announced the Government<br />

would scrap the preferred<br />

contractor to get it back on track.<br />

It came after a “thorough<br />

review” found the budget had<br />

blown out by $75 million. A<br />

review would be done to see what<br />

the options were, which could<br />

include combining it with the<br />

proposed multi-use arena.<br />

<strong>The</strong> report said bowls had also<br />

taken a hit.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sport had 3206 members<br />

last year – 70 per cent of the<br />

number it had in 2010.<br />

Rowing had grown to 987<br />

last year, league had been<br />

stable, while tennis had steadily<br />

declined in membership to 6063<br />

last year.<br />

Volleyball had suffered due to<br />

lack of playing space, the report<br />

said, and yachting and BMX had<br />

remained relatively stable.<br />

Meanwhile, football<br />

registrations had steadily<br />

increased over the past decade.<br />

Last year, there were 13,855.<br />

Currently, Mainland Football’s<br />

base is at ASB English Park. But<br />

there have been discussions about<br />

moving it to the soon to be built<br />

Nga Puna Wai.<br />

A gap was identified for<br />

speed skating facilities. <strong>The</strong><br />

current Alpine Ice Sports and<br />

Entertainment Centre does not<br />

have a full size rink so it could<br />

not hold national championships.<br />

Hockey had a membership<br />

of 4507 last year. But the report<br />

said it was limited by turf<br />

availability.<br />

Currently, teams are able to<br />

play at Nunweek and Marist<br />

Parks, as well as Waimakariri<br />

Hockey Turf in Rangiora.<br />

Nga Puna Wai will have two<br />

artificial turfs when it opens next<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Ballantynes survivors uncanny<br />

<strong>The</strong> 70th-anniversary<br />

of the Ballantynes fire<br />

was last weekend.<br />

Reporter Bridget<br />

Rutherford speaks<br />

to two survivors who<br />

have had an uncanny<br />

reunion<br />

LOIS WHEELER and Marion<br />

Hooykaas have been going to<br />

card making classes together for<br />

a decade near their Parklands<br />

homes.<br />

But it took another eight years<br />

for the friends to discover they<br />

shared another thing in common<br />

– both had escaped New<br />

Zealand’s worst fire tragedy.<br />

Forty-one people perished.<br />

Mrs Hooykaas said it was unbelievable<br />

she and Mrs Wheeler<br />

took so long to click.<br />

“It was really because being<br />

together for so long and only<br />

finding out then, it was strange.”<br />

Mrs Hooykaas said she<br />

had been at class discussing a<br />

controversial book about the<br />

Ballantynes fire written by<br />

Steven Eldred-Grigg, when Mrs<br />

Wheeler piped up and said she<br />

was in the fire too.<br />

“She’d been sitting next to me<br />

for so long.”<br />

Mrs Wheeler, who was 22 at<br />

the time, was working as a shorthand<br />

typist, while Mrs Hooykaas<br />

was a 17-year-old apprentice<br />

tailoress. Many of their friends<br />

and colleagues died.<br />

Mrs Wheeler, now 92, said<br />

every year, she can recall down to<br />

the minute what happened that<br />

fateful <strong>November</strong> 18, 1947, day.<br />

At 3pm she was having afternoon<br />

tea with a friend who<br />

worked in the china department.<br />

Twenty minutes later, they both<br />

went back to work. Mrs Wheeler<br />

never saw her friend again.<br />

She said staff did not know<br />

the danger they were in when a<br />

fire broke out in the cellar of one<br />

of the store’s eight central city<br />

buildings at about 3.30pm.<br />

“Ballantynes was Ballantynes,<br />

and nothing could ever happen<br />

to Ballantynes.”<br />

She said initially, her boss had<br />

been instructed to tell staff to<br />

keep working.<br />

But they later evacuated onto<br />

Lichfield St, only to go back<br />

into the building three times to<br />

collect typewriters and filing<br />

cabinets.<br />

“We were like sheep. We were<br />

only doing it because our boss<br />

was doing it.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> last time she went upstairs,<br />

the ceiling started coming down<br />

and they ran down the stairs to<br />

safety, she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> whole thing [building]<br />

combusted and was going up in<br />

flames and the roof was gone.<br />

Because I got out, I thought everybody<br />

else had.”<br />

Mrs Hooykaas said when the<br />

fire started, they were told to<br />

evacuate and take their scissors.<br />

Mrs Hooykaas said they must<br />

have been some of the last to get<br />

out.<br />

Both went back to work at Ballantynes<br />

shortly after the tragedy<br />

in temporary facilities nearby.<br />

Mrs Wheeler stayed for a few<br />

years before moving to Hay’s<br />

for more money. Mrs Hooykaas<br />

stayed until she was <strong>23</strong>, when she<br />

got engaged.<br />

Ballantynes, the city council and<br />

Fire Service were criticised for the<br />

disaster, during a Royal Commission<br />

inquiry into the blaze.<br />

But neither Mrs Wheeler or<br />

Mrs Hooykaas feel any anger.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y still shop at Ballantynes.<br />

“When I hear a siren the hair<br />

goes up on the back of my neck.<br />

It is as though it’s back to the<br />

Ballantynes fire,” Mrs Wheeler<br />

said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cause of the fire was<br />

never determined. <strong>The</strong> Royal<br />

Commission recommended<br />

changes to fire prevention and<br />

firefighting, including evacuation<br />

drills and the installation of fire<br />

alarms.

“Thousands of horror-stricken<br />

spectators saw two [other] girls<br />

leap from a third-floor window<br />

and crash on a ladder and<br />

veranda,” the Press Association<br />

reported at the time.<br />

“From there, unconscious, they<br />

were dragged by firemen. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

condition in hospital is satisfactory.”<br />

At least 680 people were in<br />

Ballantynes at the time of the<br />

fire – 430 staff and 250<br />

customers.<br />

Recalls Mrs Hooykaas: “Our<br />

boss came in and he said that he<br />

was getting us out. “One of the<br />

old tailors stood at the door, held<br />

the door open and he said: ‘Take<br />

your scissors because you can’t<br />

replace them’.”<br />

It was after the war and it was<br />

hard to get scissors.<br />

“He said: ‘Just pick up your<br />

scissors and go’. We did. We took<br />

our pay too – it was in our bags. I<br />

had a blazer; I left that.<br />

“We were quite calm when we<br />

went out of the room, but when<br />

we got down to the stairs to the<br />

cafeteria that’s when you kept<br />

saying: ‘Hurry up’; they were<br />

walking so slowly, but it was<br />

dark.”<br />

Earlier they had stood at the<br />

windows and waved in reply to<br />

a man waving from across the<br />

street. He later told them that the<br />

roof had collapsed soon after.<br />

Ballantynes comprised<br />

eight buildings covering about<br />

4000 sq m between Colombo,<br />

Cashel and Lichfield Sts.<br />

Some of the buildings and<br />

their basements were connected<br />

INFERNO:<br />

Two hundred<br />

firefighters and<br />

20 appliances<br />

battled the<br />

Ballantynes fire,<br />

41 people were<br />

killed.<br />

by unauthorised openings. Fire<br />

protections were inadequate.<br />

Stairwells and lift shafts acted<br />

like chimneys, drawing hot gases<br />

into the upper areas, which rose<br />

to three levels above the ground<br />

floor.<br />

Although the cause of the fire<br />

was never established, it is known<br />

to have started in a basement at<br />

around 3.30pm. A female employee<br />

had noticed smoke. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

was a delay in calling firefighters,<br />

who arrived at 3.47pm; they were<br />

poorly equipped for the coming<br />

conflagration.<br />

Just before 4pm, the fire erupted<br />

in a flashover of hot gases. At<br />

4.10pm Kenneth Ballantyne, a<br />

joint managing director, was the<br />

last person to escape. He climbed<br />

out a widow and scrambled down<br />

a ladder.<br />

Window panes broke, flames<br />

shot out and a cloud of black<br />

smoke rose high above the<br />

buildings. Some 200 firefighters<br />

battled the blaze, using 20 fire<br />

engines.<br />

In a 1997 television<br />

documentary, Scorched<br />

Memories, witnesses told of the<br />

heartache of seeing people at the<br />

windows.<br />

“I spotted my father in the<br />

people at the window,” said Alf<br />

Brown. “I whistled out to him but<br />

couldn’t get his attention.”<br />

At a roll call in the evening at<br />

the city’s King Edward Barracks<br />

to work out who was still missing,<br />

Mr Brown saw a Ballantynes<br />

manager.<br />

“He pointed at me and said<br />

‘That’s Alec Brown’s son’. That’s<br />

when I knew that Dad was dead.”<br />

Wedding bells beckon for fourth time<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

LEANNE Crawford has had to<br />

put off her wedding three times<br />

because of a crippling illness.<br />

But she will finally marry her<br />

partner of more than eight years,<br />

Craig Corboy, next week in a<br />

wedding almost completely organised<br />

by the Canterbury Bowel<br />

and Liver Trust.<br />

Ms Crawford has Crohn’s<br />

disease and endometriosis. She<br />

began feeling ill in 2014.<br />

For months she could barely<br />

walk, lost 30kg and was constantly<br />

sick. She had to stop<br />

working and postponed her<br />

wedding three times because she<br />

kept having to go to hospital.<br />

It took almost two years for a<br />

diagnosis, and tools donated by<br />

the trust helped doctors find a<br />

treatment – so she wanted to give<br />

back when she felt better.<br />

In March she walked in <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Star</strong> City2Surf 14km event with<br />

about 40 others to raise more<br />

than $4300 for the trust.<br />

As a result, the trust wanted<br />

to help her by organising her<br />

wedding.<br />

Ms Crawford said she and Mr<br />

Corboy will marry next Saturday<br />

in their Rangiora garden where<br />

he proposed. <strong>The</strong> reception will<br />

be held at West Eyreton Hall.<br />

Her family will arrive from the<br />

United Kingdom on Saturday.<br />

Bowel and Liver Trust general<br />

manager Margaret Fitzgerald<br />

had helped organise the wedding<br />

and would prepare food for it as<br />

well, Ms Crawford said.<br />

Kim Chan Events donated<br />

flowers, would set up the hall<br />

and hired the equipment for free,<br />

while Christchurch Football<br />

Club had given the plates and<br />

cutlery for the reception.<br />

Shirley Worthington and John<br />

Brown were travelling from<br />

Timaru to do the catering, while<br />

Sharon Richards was icing the<br />

wedding cake.<br />

TRIUMPH: Leanne<br />

Crawford and Craig<br />

Corboy took part in<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> City2Surf<br />

earlier this year to<br />

raise money for the<br />

Canterbury Bowel<br />

and Liver Trust,<br />

and now the trust<br />

has organised their<br />

wedding.<br />

Because Ms Crawford had<br />

lost so much weight, she said<br />

Ms Fitzgerald, along with Karen<br />

Farthing had taken in her dress.<br />

Wedding Professionals, Lisa<br />

Marie Parable Photography,<br />

Boogie Beats and celebrant Jane<br />

Godfrey had stuck with the<br />

couple even after they had to<br />

postpone several times, she said.<br />

Entire Electrical had donated<br />

money and family and friends<br />

had helped with other aspects.<br />

Ms Crawford said she never<br />

expected so many people to<br />

donate and offer to help get her<br />

up the aisle.<br />

“We are blown away with<br />

the generosity especially from<br />

people we have never met, we<br />

just want to say a huge thank you<br />

to everyone from the bottom off<br />

our heart, we couldn’t have done<br />

it with out you all.”<br />

Ms Crawford said she will take<br />

part in the City2Surf again on<br />

March 18 to raise more money<br />

for the trust, and encouraged<br />

others to sign up.<br />

Although she cannot eat solid<br />

food, Ms Crawford said she was<br />

feeling better and walks about<br />

7km every day.<br />

“My biggest support is my<br />

lovely husband-to-be and I can’t<br />

wait to be his wife.”<br />

Compostable<br />

food packaging<br />

at city events<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

THIRTY Christchurch events are<br />

likely to use compostable food<br />

packaging after a successful trial<br />

saw more than 12 tonnes diverted<br />

from landfill earlier this year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council wants to run<br />

Composting Food Packaging at<br />

Events Trial 2.0 at 12 of its major<br />

events over the next 18 months.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y would join 21 other privately-run<br />

events.<br />

For the second trial to go ahead<br />

the city council is seeking $29,553<br />

from the Canterbury waste joint<br />

committee at its meeting tomorrow.<br />

<strong>The</strong> funding would be used to<br />

operate the initiative at the city<br />

council-run events, which includes<br />

waste sorters who are on site to<br />

separate the compostable packaging<br />

from other rubbish.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second trial would include<br />

the city council’s upcoming New<br />

Year’s Eve event, Kite Day, Sparks,<br />

Christchurch Lantern Festival,<br />

KidsFest Lantern Parade, Botanic<br />

D’lights, Heritage Week, Guy<br />

Fawkes, and New Year’s Eve<br />

would also be included.<br />

Quake theory criticised<br />

NEW ZEALAND earthquake<br />

scientists have been critical of a<br />

theory from two United States’<br />

scientists that the frequency<br />

of earthquakes is linked to a<br />

slowing in Earth’s rotation, one<br />

saying “I tend to think of them<br />

in the context of [Moon Man]<br />

Ken Ring”.<br />

Last month, Roger Bilham,<br />

from the University of<br />

Colorado at Boulder,<br />

and Rebecca Bendick,<br />

from the University of<br />

Montana, presented a paper at<br />

a conference that posited that<br />

a year with a high number of<br />

earthquakes around the world<br />

coincided with a slowing in the<br />

rotation of the Earth.<br />

“A striking example is that<br />

since 1900 more than 80 per<br />

cent of all earthquakes on<br />

the eastern Caribbean plate<br />

boundary have occurred five<br />

years following a maximum<br />

deceleration (including the 2010<br />

Haiti earthquake).”<br />

<strong>The</strong> paper concludes that<br />

<strong>2017</strong> marks six years since<br />

deceleration began in 2011,<br />

“suggesting that the world<br />

has now entered a period<br />

of enhanced global seismic<br />

productivity with a duration of<br />

DESTRUCTION: Two United States’ scientists say the<br />

frequency of earthquakes is linked to a slowing of the<br />

Earth’s rotation. (Right) – New Zealand author Ken Ring who<br />

writes about moon phases and the weather.<br />

at least five years.”<br />

GNS Science have commented<br />

that the paper has not been<br />

peer-reviewed and has no detail<br />

to examine, while Dr Virginia<br />

Toy from the Department of<br />

Geology at the University of<br />

Otago says correlations are<br />

often made between natural<br />

events and other phenomena.<br />

“Some of these yield<br />

statistically defendable<br />

correlations; others don’t,” she<br />

said.<br />

“I tend to think of them in<br />

the context of Ken Ring . . . the<br />

man who writes about apparent<br />

statistical correlations between<br />

the phase of the moon and the<br />

weather.<br />

“[<strong>The</strong> Americans’ paper]<br />

sounds like we will get a jump<br />

from six to 20 large earthquakes<br />

per year. I don’t think this is<br />

likely.”<br />

Dr Tim Stahl, a lecturer<br />

in tectonic geology from<br />

Canterbury University, says it is<br />

difficult to judge the scientific<br />

merit of the claims being made<br />

until additional testing is<br />

carried out by other research<br />

groups.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Higher fines fail to deter litter bugs<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

A NEW graduated scale to fine<br />

people for littering has failed to<br />

deter people from doing it.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council changed the<br />

rules in June last year by introducing<br />

a new graduated scale<br />

for fines, depending on the type<br />

and amount of rubbish dumped.<br />

In the past, the maximum fine<br />

was $100. That increased to $400<br />

under the new rules.<br />

But figures released under the<br />

Local Government and Official<br />

Information Act show of the 389<br />

litter and roadside litter complaints<br />

the city council received<br />

since the rule changes, just two<br />

fines were issued.<br />

Both of those were $200 fines.<br />

A city council spokeswoman<br />

said the number of complaints<br />

remained consistent with previous<br />

years.<br />

“One of the constraints of the<br />

Litter Act is that the council<br />

officer must personally witness<br />

the offence and/or be able to<br />

identify the person committing<br />

the offence to be able to issue an<br />

infringement notice,” she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>refore, the level of<br />

infringements issued is low in<br />

comparison to the number of<br />

complaints.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> new system had five tiers.<br />

Less than 1-litre of rubbish<br />

dropped would be a $100 fine,<br />

between one to 20-litres was<br />

a $200 fine, 20-120-litres was<br />

$300, while more than 120-litres<br />

or hazardous, offensive or commercial<br />

material was $400.<br />

City council head of regulatory<br />

compliance Tracey Weston<br />

said the maximum fine of $400<br />

was intended to be a greater<br />

deterrent.<br />

She said nearly all the complaints<br />

were received after the<br />

litter had been found.<br />

“This means that there is little,<br />

if any, evidence of the identity<br />

of the person responsible for the<br />

dumping,” she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is little the council can<br />

do to increase the number of<br />

fines issued due to the evidential<br />

challenges around establishing<br />

the identity of the offender.”<br />

Ms Weston said the city<br />

DUMPED:<br />

Higher fines<br />

have failed to<br />

deter people<br />

from dumping<br />

their rubbish in<br />

public places,<br />

like here in<br />

South Brighton<br />

Domain. ​<br />

council spent about $120,000 in<br />

the last financial year removing<br />

rubbish that had been dumped.<br />

<strong>The</strong> residential red zone had<br />

been a hot spot for dumping<br />

after the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council had not issued<br />

any infringement notices<br />

in the years leading up to the<br />

rule changes due to a “change in<br />

personnel.”<br />

Online services<br />

at council in<br />

for overhaul<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

RESIDENTS WILL soon be able<br />

to book, apply, request and pay for<br />

more city council services online as<br />

part of a major system overhaul.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council is developing<br />

a new system called My Council,<br />

which would be part of its website.<br />

It will take three years to<br />

complete, and is currently in the<br />

first phase.<br />

City council citizens and<br />

community general manager Mary<br />

Richardson said My Council was<br />

programme of work designed to<br />

give residents choice for the services<br />

it provided.<br />

<strong>The</strong> digitalisation of its services<br />

was at the core of the programme,<br />

she said.<br />

“This means citizens will have<br />

more visibility over the things that<br />

matter to them, whether it’s rates,<br />

rubbish, dog registration, building<br />

consents, consultation or something<br />

else.<br />

“We want to increase self-service<br />

so people can easily book, apply,<br />

request and pay for our services<br />

online anywhere and at any time.<br />

We also want to create new and<br />

innovative ways for citizens to<br />

engage with us,’’ she said.

Sports facility cost creates<br />

a ‘window of opportunity’<br />

WHEN THE new minister,<br />

Hon Megan Woods, contacted<br />

me about the true cost of<br />

proceeding with the early<br />

contractor involvement process<br />

for our long-awaited Metro<br />

Sports Facility, I already knew<br />

that they were going to be<br />

receiving advice along the lines<br />

that they did. And that was $75<br />

million over budget.<br />

I was not at all surprised when<br />

the incoming Government said<br />

‘enough is enough’. I would<br />

too if it were our decision as a<br />

council.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cost sharing agreement<br />

caps the city’s contribution to<br />

the Metro Sports Facility at $147<br />

million, which is still an eye<br />

watering sum of money.<br />

When the minister said that<br />

it was going to take a few short<br />

months for a build contract to<br />

go to tender, I was really pleased.<br />

For me, this has created a<br />

‘window of opportunity’, where<br />

we as a city can look at what<br />

we really need, and to get the<br />

different sporting codes together<br />

to double-check that what was<br />

driving decisions five years ago<br />

is still relevant today.<br />

No-one will be surprised by<br />

my attitude to this, as I have<br />

always said that a flaw in the<br />

blueprint approach was the<br />

lack of a feedback loop once the<br />

blueprint was announced. It was<br />

as if it was set in stone and yet,<br />

as I said, what may have been<br />

the case five-years ago, may not<br />

be now.<br />

This window of opportunity<br />

will give the city that feedback<br />

loop we have needed and enable<br />

us to think about the different<br />

elements of the Metro Sports<br />

Facility and the multi-use arena,<br />

as well as some of our existing<br />

facilities.<br />

What is the potential, for<br />

example, at the Horncastle<br />

Arena when we build what<br />

would be the largest covered<br />

arena in the country?<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

Five years later, should we<br />

revisit some of the co-location<br />

arguments with the relevant<br />

sporting codes at the table?<br />

We have been given this<br />

moment in time where<br />

everything can be examined<br />

without further delays.<br />

What excites me is the<br />

possibility that we could end up<br />

speeding things up and reducing<br />

overall costs, while providing<br />

the city with the sporting and<br />

event infrastructure it needs –<br />

now and for future generations.<br />

That’s the win-win I will be<br />

looking for.<br />

Dalziel a question, email<br />

<strong>The</strong> $75m budget<br />

blowout for the Metro<br />

Sports Facility, which was<br />

to be built in the area<br />

bordered by Moorhouse<br />

Ave, Stewart, St Asaph and<br />

Antigua Sts, has seen the<br />

Government scrap plans<br />

and head back to the<br />

drawing board<br />

Jane Wilson-Fouracre<br />

– Unbelievable, even after all<br />

this time and money it’s back to<br />

the drawing board. Let’s finally<br />

get a decent sports facility in a<br />

location that is near to transport<br />

links, on decent land and has<br />

space for parking. Only city<br />

have one . . . and that’s before<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

Fire rages, homes at at risk<br />

Woods determined to fix $75m blowout<br />

LIKE MOST Cantabrians, I’m<br />

very keen to see faster progress<br />

in our central city. <strong>The</strong> sight<br />

of big vacant lots where major<br />

new facilities are meant to have<br />

been built by now simply isn’t<br />

good enough. It’s something I’m<br />

determined to fix.<br />

That’s why one of the very<br />

first pieces of work I’ve started<br />

as a new minister has been a<br />

thorough line-by-line review<br />

of the Anchor Projects. I want<br />

to ensure these projects can be<br />

delivered faster, with timelines<br />

we can trust, in a manner we can<br />

afford. This review has already<br />

thrown up some real issues.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest of these was the<br />

discovery of a $75 million budget<br />

blowout on the Metro Sports<br />

Facility – a facility that is already<br />

years behind schedule. As an<br />

incoming minister, finding out<br />

the previous Government knew<br />

about this blowout since July was<br />

very disappointing.<br />

I know most Cantabrians will<br />

agree that when a budget blows<br />

out by $75 million, you can’t<br />

keep writing blank cheques with<br />

taxpayers’ money, especially<br />

when the project keeps being<br />

delayed. It’s worth remembering,<br />

under the last Government’s<br />

timeline, the facility was meant<br />

to open in the first part of last<br />

year – yet all we have at the moment<br />

is another big empty space<br />

in our central city.<br />

Any suggestion we could ignore<br />

this blowout is nonsense. If<br />

we had continued on the previous<br />

Government’s path, I would<br />

have had to go back to Cabinet<br />

and ask for taxpayers to keep<br />

reaching into their pockets.<br />

That’s why the decision was<br />

made to cancel the early contractor<br />

involvement process, and<br />

direct Ōtākaro to finish the design<br />

work themselves, then go to<br />

market to complete the construction<br />

of the building. This will<br />

give us an option to deliver the<br />

project within the budget set by<br />

the previous Government.<br />

I’ve also asked officials to use<br />

that time to conduct an urgent<br />

review of the plans for the<br />

facility. We need to check if the<br />

assumptions made about this<br />

project in 2012 still hold up five<br />

years later, or if there might be<br />

better, quicker ways to deliver<br />

the sporting facilities that Canterbury<br />

needs.<br />

After years of delays, this new<br />

Government’s priority is getting<br />

things happening – breaking<br />

down the roadblocks and getting<br />

the projects we need back on<br />

track.<br />

•Megan Woods is the Minister<br />

of Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration<br />

Heather Andersen and<br />

Mitch MacDonald (right)<br />

have been labelled the<br />

villains of My Kitchen Rules<br />

New Zealand but <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

revealed they are not so<br />

“awful” after all<br />

Vanessa Henry – I got to<br />

meet them both at an event last<br />

week.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were really down to<br />

earth, funny and pretty genuine<br />

sort of people. Funny thing is on<br />

the show they actually give fair<br />

scores backed up with genuine<br />

reasons for the scores they give.<br />

Pretty noticeable that not all of<br />

the teams do this.<br />

David Lindsay – Easy<br />

answer . . . don’t put yourselves<br />

on reality TV, it’s happened to<br />

those before you and it will keep<br />

happening, no sympathy.<br />

Nic Davies – I like them.<br />

Bugger to hear what was said to<br />

them but if you go in a show like<br />

that you have to expect this.<br />

Kim Johanson – If that’s<br />

how you portray yourself on TV,<br />

expect backlash.<br />

Only 55 percent of fines<br />

issued to freedom campers<br />

were paid, according to city<br />

council staff<br />

Krysha Wells – That’s<br />

because they are going (and)<br />

they do not care, maybe it is time<br />

to stop them at the airport on the<br />

way out?<br />

Candice Johnson –<br />

Passport info should be taken,<br />

and should be flagged if they<br />

try and leave without paying.<br />

Tourists are having a laugh at<br />

how soft NZ is.<br />

Pete Hustwick – It’s all<br />

really quite simple.<br />

You clamp them. And when<br />

the fine is paid in full in cash,<br />

then they can get under way<br />

again. It would only take a few<br />

for the word to get around.<br />

We are way too nice in this<br />

country.<br />

Tiffany Cavanaugh – We<br />

can’t leave the country without<br />

paying our fines, tourists<br />

shouldn’t be able to either.<br />

Police say the seizure of<br />

49kg of methamphetamine<br />

with a street value of $50<br />

million was the largest bust<br />

in the South Island<br />

Mary Baycroft – Great work<br />

Christchurch police. Keep that<br />

off our streets.<br />

Kim Brown – Good job. I<br />

hate this drug with a passion and<br />

I personally love the fact that it<br />

won’t be hitting our streets. And<br />

hope the mongrels that tried<br />

to import it into our beautiful<br />

country get sent down for a very<br />

long time.<br />

Kevin Garty – Excellent work<br />

police. Now please court system,<br />

put these guys away for a very<br />

long time and go after every asset<br />

they have.

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Bid to reunite family with soldier’s WW1 relic<br />

• By Kurt Bayer<br />

AN ENGLISHMAN who<br />

uncovered a Cantabrian’s<br />

battlefield identification note<br />

rolled inside a World War I<br />

bullet casing is attempting to<br />

reunite the rare artefact with the<br />

old soldier’s descendants.<br />

David Murray was holidaying<br />

near Ypres, Belgium, about 40<br />

years ago when he bought a box<br />

of mixed WW1 memorabilia.<br />

It included a German cartridge<br />

case and bullet that has sat in a<br />

drawer at his Manchester home<br />

for decades.<br />

But last year, he took a closer<br />

look at the bullet case and found<br />

a piece of paper coiled inside it.<br />

After several hours, with the<br />

aid of medical tweezers, he<br />

managed to extract the note<br />

which read: ‘Gunner E. A.<br />

Kermode - Headquarters Staff<br />

N.Z.F.A. 7/2058 France’.<br />

Mr Murray understands that<br />

even with the issue of ‘dog tags’,<br />

many soldiers put personal<br />

details inside things like<br />

cartridge cases for identification<br />

purposes if they were killed.<br />

Now, he wants to trace gunner<br />

Kermode’s descendants to return<br />

the item to its rightful home.<br />

“His grandsons could still<br />

be alive and well and, if I was<br />

his grandson, then I’d be very<br />

pleased to get that,” Mr Murray<br />

said.<br />

Edward Arthur Kermode<br />

was born at Isle of Man in the<br />

Irish Sea in 1895. His mother,<br />

a Mrs Goulding, came from<br />

the Devonshire market town of<br />

Honiton.<br />

At the outbreak of war in 1914,<br />

gunner Kermode was working as<br />

an engineer in Christchurch.<br />

A year later, the 20-year-old<br />

bachelor, with the stature of a<br />

jockey, standing at 160cm and<br />

weighing just 55kg, enlisted.<br />

He left with the New Zealand<br />

Field Artillery and served in<br />

Egypt and France.<br />

Having survived the war, he<br />

returned to Christchurch and<br />

was discharged in 1919, the war<br />

War ID: Edward<br />

Arthur Kermode<br />

survived World<br />

War 1 and now<br />

an Englishman<br />

who found a<br />

relic of his from<br />

the war is trying<br />

to trace his<br />

descendants.<br />

records show.<br />

Mr Murray says he’d happily<br />

send the bullet casing and note<br />

to New Zealand if the rightful<br />

owners came forward.<br />

“If it was in an antiques shop,<br />

it’d probably be a couple of<br />

quid,” he told the NZ Herald.<br />

“But I’ve got quite a strong<br />

sense of social and family history<br />

and I hate it when people throw<br />

things away that are a piece of<br />

personal history. It’d be better<br />

than just lying in a drawer here.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Herald contacted Alastair<br />

Kermode who lives at Lincoln.<br />

Last year, he visited Ypres and<br />

was interested in whether any<br />

of his forefathers fought on the<br />

Western Front.<br />

He doubted any family links<br />

to the gunner Kermode he<br />

saw listed on the battlefield<br />

memorials.<br />

But, when talking to<br />

the Herald, he wondered whether<br />

Edward Arthur Kermode was<br />

related to him, given that his<br />

family history information says<br />

they also emigrated from the Isle<br />

of Man.<br />

“It’s possible. My grandfather,<br />

with I think 13 kids in the<br />

family, all came out here from<br />

Isle of Man,” Kermode said.<br />

He wanted to ask other<br />

relatives and hunt for “concrete<br />

evidence” of a link to the<br />

WW1 veteran, but was interested<br />

in talking further with Mr<br />

Murray.<br />

•Anyone with information<br />

or suspected family links to<br />

Edward Arthur Kermode can<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Mental as Anything for Selwyn Sounds<br />

Audience<br />

can expect<br />

friendship and<br />

silliness from<br />

Aussie rockers<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

DURING A Mental as Anything<br />

gig in 1978, Andrew McArthur<br />

demolished an entire box of KFC<br />

chicken, 16 pieces. “No trouble,”<br />

he said.<br />

He’s had the nickname Greedy<br />

Smith ever since.<br />

McArthur and his fellow<br />

Mental as Anything bandmates<br />

will be flying from Sydney, set to<br />

play Selwyn Sounds on March 3.<br />

<strong>The</strong> festival at Lincoln Domain<br />

follows last year’s event, which<br />

saw a star studded list of Kiwi<br />

acts perform in front of about<br />

8000 people.<br />

But this year’s Selwyn<br />

Sounds has added a couple of<br />

Australians to the bill. Mental as<br />

Anything are joined by Jimmy<br />

Barnes.<br />

Although Mental as Anything<br />

still has a bit of a New Zealand<br />

connection. “Until 2000 we had<br />

two Kiwis in the band,” he said.<br />

AUSSIE ROCKERS: Mental as Anything are ready to play<br />

alongside fellow Australian Jimmy Barnes at Selwyn Sounds. ​<br />

Chris and Peter O’Doherty<br />

were part of the band playing<br />

lead guitar and bass from when<br />

it formed 41 years ago in 1976<br />

– the brothers were born in<br />

Auckland but moved to Sydney<br />

before they were teenagers.<br />

McArthur said they’re both<br />

full-time visual artists now.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re wouldn’t be an<br />

Australian music industry if<br />

you took away all the Kiwis,”<br />

he said. “It’s cross-cultural<br />

pollination.”<br />

That pollination even includes<br />

McArthur’s girlfriend who was<br />

born in Christchurch. So he said<br />

the band always looks forward to<br />

a trip across the ditch.<br />

“I’ve got the loveliest memories<br />

of touring with <strong>The</strong> Exponents<br />

… we did a great show in<br />

Christchurch with them,” he<br />

said.<br />

McArthur promised Selwyn<br />

Sounds would be no different.<br />

Although he did have one<br />

piece of advice: “Pack your<br />

sunscreen.”<br />

During the March set<br />

audiences can expect “a bit<br />

of friendship” and “a bit of<br />

silliness.”<br />

“People will be really surprised<br />

at how much of our stuff they<br />

know. We play songs people<br />

will like and try to win over the<br />

punter.”<br />

Mental as Anything has spent<br />

a lot of time “polishing the old<br />

stuff” in preparation.<br />

“We’re always playing. In 40<br />

years, the last time I had six<br />

weeks off was 1990 when I fell<br />

off a horse,” McArthur said.<br />

But the band has such an<br />

impressive back catalogue,<br />

McArthur said the music he’s<br />

currently listening to is Mental<br />

as Anything. Just so he can<br />

remember the songs.<br />

“It’s been 40 years since we<br />

wrote some of it. You forget,” he<br />

said.<br />

But even though the band has<br />

been together for more than four<br />

decades, Mental as Anything<br />

is still releasing new music.<br />

Its latest work 5 Track EP was<br />

released earlier this year.<br />

Group to reunite for<br />

Lincoln music festival<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

BOH RUNGA has just opened her own<br />

jewellery store in Ponsonby, Auckland.<br />

But on March 3 she’ll be getting Stellar<br />

back together and heading to Lincoln<br />

Domain for Selwyn Sounds.<br />

<strong>The</strong> day-long music festival follows this<br />

year’s inaugural event, which saw Kiwi<br />

music heavyweights the Jordan Luck Band,<br />

Mi-Sex and Dragon play to a crowd of<br />

about 8000.<br />

Growing up in Hornby with sister Bic,<br />

Runga said she hadn’t spent much time in<br />

the small town but had been to several of<br />

Lincoln University’s notorious parties.<br />

“My father went to Lincoln College but I<br />

just went to parties,” she said.<br />

She’s looking forward to playing so close<br />

to home, she said “people are always happy<br />

you’ve come to play.”<br />

But Stellar isn’t officially back together.<br />

<strong>The</strong> March festival could be a bit of a test,<br />

Runga hasn’t ruled out a full reunion.<br />

“I’m not sure if we are back together per<br />

se, we are doing some gigs and we always<br />

had fun doing that. We’ll see where us<br />

hanging out again leads,” Runga said.<br />

Alongside a reunited Stellar, fans will<br />

get the chance to see Jimmy Barnes, <strong>The</strong><br />

Mockers and <strong>The</strong> Feelers.<br />

In the meantime, she said if you’re in<br />

Auckland, head down Ponsonby Rd to Boh<br />

Runga Jewellery: “I’ll probably be there!”<br />

•Selwyn Sounds will be held on<br />

March 3 at Lincoln Domain from<br />

11am-8.30pm. Tickets available at<br />

Dyers Pass Rd speed<br />

limit may come down<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

GOVERNORS BAY<br />

resident Rosie Belton is<br />

pleased the Dyers Pass<br />

Rd speed limits could be<br />

lowered to 60km/h.<br />

<strong>The</strong> well-known<br />

author has been a vocal<br />

campaigner on road safety<br />

issues, including speeding<br />

vehicles and boy racer<br />

activity in Governors Bay.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council is<br />

currently seeking public<br />

feedback on a proposal<br />

to change the speed limit<br />

on Dyers Pass Rd, from<br />

its intersection with<br />

Governors Bay Rd to the<br />

Sign of the Takahe.<br />

Currently the speed limit<br />

along that stretch<br />

of the road varies<br />

between 50km/h<br />

and 100km/h.<br />

Under the<br />

proposal put<br />

forward the<br />

variable speed<br />

limits would be<br />

changed to one<br />

consistent speed<br />

limit of 60km/h.<br />

Ms Belton said it<br />

was “fantastic” news.<br />

“That’ll be brilliant. But<br />

I expect lots of people<br />

will complain, including<br />

locals,” she said.<br />

Rosie Belton<br />

DANGER: A lower speed limit is expected to reduce<br />

the number of crashes on Dyers Pass Rd.<br />

About 180 accidents have<br />

been recorded over the past<br />

decade along that stretch of<br />

Dyers Pass Rd, resulting in<br />

one fatality and 14<br />

serious injuries.<br />

“Loss of<br />

control due to<br />

inappropriate<br />

speeds into<br />

bends and risky<br />

overtaking account<br />

for a concerning<br />

number of the<br />

reported accidents,’’ said<br />

city council transport<br />

operations manager Aaron<br />

Haymes.<br />

“To improve safety we<br />

are proposing a new speed<br />

limit of 60km/h. We are<br />

also proposing to add<br />

double yellow no passing<br />

lines and two new slow<br />

vehicle bays.’’<br />

Mr Haymes says the<br />

aim of the double yellow<br />

lines was to keep motorists<br />

on their side of the road.<br />

Motorists are legally able to<br />

cross double yellow lines to<br />

pass cyclists if they are able<br />

to do so safely.<br />

Public feedback is open<br />

until December 18. Visit<br />

Stokes Hall which is on the<br />

site.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is concern the hall<br />

will be also demolished as<br />

part of any new development<br />

on the Seaview Rd<br />

site.<br />

Said Renew Brighton<br />

manager Sylvia Smyth:<br />

“<strong>The</strong> hall was built for and<br />

has always functioned as<br />

both a community and<br />

school asset. It has been<br />

a treasured by the community<br />

for over 40 years,<br />

including serving as an<br />

emergency centre after the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> site is destined for<br />

sale and the community<br />

have not been consulted at<br />

all in this process. We have<br />

asked for a pause in this<br />

process so that the community<br />

has the space and<br />

time to decide what comes<br />

next,” said Miss Smyth.<br />

Renew Brighton will host<br />

tomorrow’s meeting with<br />

the Christchurch Circus<br />

Trust, which leases the hall.<br />

<strong>The</strong> school was closed<br />

at the end of 2015. <strong>The</strong><br />

Ministry of Education is in<br />

the process of disposing of<br />

the site.<br />

Crown agencies and<br />

Ngai Tahu have said no to<br />

buying it, leaving the way<br />

clear for private developers<br />

to move in.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hall was completed<br />

in 1977 after a large<br />

fundraising effort from the<br />

school committee, which<br />

raised $108,000 of the<br />

$150,000 it cost to establish<br />

the hall.<br />

“Hundreds” of members<br />

of the community took<br />

part in the fund-raising<br />

effort, led by the school’s<br />

committee chairman Roy<br />

Stokes, said Miss Smyth.<br />

<strong>The</strong> school committee,<br />

along with members of the<br />

community, ran housie<br />

nights twice a week for 15<br />

years to raise the money.<br />

DIABETES AWARENESS<br />

People with Diabetes<br />

Our right to a healthy future<br />

Diabetes Christchurch and many other<br />

societies in this district are delighted to<br />

be collaborating with the Lions Clubs<br />

District 202E. Lions Clubs International<br />

recently adopted diabetes as one of their<br />

new core projects. In July this year, it was<br />

announced by Naresh Aggarwal, the Lions<br />

Clubs International President, at the 100th<br />

Convention held in Chicago, who said that<br />

Lions Clubs will not sit on the sidelines as<br />

the disease “diabetes” mounts. We will be<br />

in the thick of efforts to prevent and treat<br />

the disease. He formally announced their<br />

new commitment to curtailing diabetes.<br />

Echoing Helen Keller’s appeal to Lions in<br />

1925 at their convention to become Knights<br />

of the Blind, (Keller Johnson-Thompson,<br />

Keller’s great grand-niece – who also spoke<br />

at this convention), urged Lions to take on<br />

this new challenge of diabetes.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Diabetes Christchurch Society have<br />

now had several positive meetings with the<br />

202E District Governor, Peter Gamble and<br />

Sam Lilley (District Global Service Team<br />

Leader) to discuss diabetes awareness talks<br />

and are in the process of helping to organise<br />

many of the Lions Clubs, (including<br />

the West Coast, Nelson, Marlborough,<br />

Kaikoura and Canterbury) who will all<br />

help, support and participate in various<br />

diabetes awareness programs, activities,<br />

projects and fundraising initiatives to help<br />

support the local diabetes societies in this<br />

district.<br />

Manager of Diabetes Christchurch<br />

Inc, Lynne Taylor said she was absolutely<br />

delighted with this marvellous support<br />

being offered towards the promotion on<br />

diabetes awareness and looks forward to<br />

raising the profile and education about<br />

diabetes. With these statistics and concerns<br />

in mind, Lions Clubs have taken action<br />

through this international initiative and<br />

both Peter Gamble and Sam Lilley said<br />

their Lions Groups will work hard to focus<br />

on this chronic condition and their work<br />

will support diabetes awareness, education,<br />

prevention, detection, control and research<br />

throughout the coming years.<br />

Diabetes Christchurch Inc is a support<br />

GARDENING<br />

ADVICE with<br />

Now is the best time to sow a new lawn or tackle any lawn problems.<br />

Over sow any bare or brown patches in the lawn with Daltons<br />

Premium 4-in-1 Lawn Patching Gold, which has everything in one<br />

bag and is easy to use. Feed established lawns with Daltons Premium<br />

Lawn Fertiliser from October until Christmas (avoiding the hot summer<br />

months), recommencing from late February until late April.<br />

z<br />

QUESTION I was given a Daphne in late 2016. Planted it facing east, however it did not do well so I<br />

put it in a pot in April this year with potting mix and a bit of acid fertiliser. Unfortunately,<br />

it is giving up. I love Daphne, what am I doing wrong?<br />

ANSWER<br />

Today’s winning question came from Pauline & Fred. Congratulations!<br />

In general terms, Daphne are not the easiest of shrubs to cultivate. <strong>The</strong>y are incredibly<br />

rewarding with their perfume during winter months, but quite often a difficult plant to<br />

establish in the garden.<br />

Part of the problem lies in the method of production before they reach the<br />

garden centre. <strong>The</strong>y are often field grown in nurseries and then dug up<br />

and potted for sale. Daphne do not like root disturbance and often<br />

can be seen in some garden centers with yellow leaves, leaves<br />

falling or the leaves in a drooping position.<br />

Selection of a very healthy specimen at the time of purchase<br />

is critical. In the garden, they have a preference for welldrained<br />

soil, rich in compost and in a position receiving<br />

good light, but not baking in hot summer sun.<br />

We have a Daltons Premium Lawn Care Pack to giveaway.<br />

Everything you need to care for your lawn! Each pack is<br />

valued at over $80 and contains:<br />

• Daltons Premium Lawn Fertiliser<br />

• Daltons Lawn Patching Gold<br />

• Daltons Premium Lawn Soil<br />

• PLUS a pair of comfortable,<br />

versatile Red Back gardening<br />

gloves from Omni Products<br />

(www.omniproducts.co.nz)<br />

BE IN<br />

TO WIN!<br />

$80<br />

PRIZE<br />

PACK!<br />

Once established, Daphne will thrive requiring only a<br />

moderate amount of attention. Daphne Odora Rubra is<br />

by far the most successful home garden species. While<br />

they can be grown in containers, ensure the container is<br />

large enough for full root development and has sufficient<br />

drainage holes to avoid the potting mix becoming sodden.<br />

Grow guides www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides<br />

Keeping up with kumara<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

LIKE POTATOES, kumara<br />

would have to be one of<br />

those vegetables that is a<br />

pretty regular feature in my<br />

pantry.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re versatile (there’s a<br />

long list of dishes I can add<br />

kumara to) and they taste<br />

great.<br />

Each seedling needs to<br />

be planted around 50cm to<br />

1m from the next, so you<br />

do need a bit of space to<br />

have a kūmara crop.<br />

It’s important that you<br />

raise a mound of soft soil<br />

for the kumara to spread<br />

out in. Cultivate your<br />

soil with a rake and then<br />

mound it up in to a hill<br />

around 40cm high.<br />

Next make a small<br />

trench approximately 5cm<br />

deep and lay the seedling<br />

so that the root is lying in<br />

the trench parallel to the<br />

top of the soil, rather than<br />

pushing the root down like<br />

you might with another<br />

vegetable.<br />

Make sure you bend the<br />

seedling so the leaves are<br />

sticking out of the top of<br />

the soil (a J shape). This<br />

will ensure the plant’s roots<br />

(via the leaves) get plenty of<br />

warmth from the sun.<br />

Water gently – it’s important<br />

not to water forcefully<br />

as this might make the<br />

mound flatten out or the<br />

plant roll off the mound.<br />

Do this for the first few<br />

days and then ensure they<br />

get some water weekly.<br />

Depending on what<br />

summer is like this year<br />

you may not need to do any<br />

extra watering at all. But if<br />

it’s hot and dry keep an eye<br />

on things and water at least<br />

weekly.<br />

When you know they’re<br />

ready, harvest very gently.<br />

Broken kumara won’t store.<br />

Send us your<br />

gardening<br />

question to be<br />

in to win!<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

HISTORIC: Get dropped off at Dufferin Tce by the funicular railway. It is the site<br />

of the fort and chateau which served as the official residence for the governors<br />

of New France.<br />

PRISTINE: <strong>The</strong> Lower Town is nestled around the base of the Place Royale.<br />

Quebec – clinging to Gallic traditions<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

IT IS like a grand evocative set,<br />

a landscape spanning 400 years,<br />

bestowed with World Heritage<br />

protection in 1985.<br />

Old Quebec is the only North<br />

American walled city beyond<br />

Mexico, underpinning its proud<br />

sense of historical continuity.<br />

A city that clings to her Frenchspeaking<br />

heritage and Gallic<br />

traditions, the cradle of French<br />

North America, where the dream<br />

of New France was born and<br />

died.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Old City comprises the<br />

Upper Town, surrounded by<br />

fortifications and strutting the<br />

craggy heights of Diamond Cape,<br />

while the Lower Town is nestled<br />

around its base, fanning out from<br />

Place Royale.<br />

I started my exploratory at this<br />

compact and photogenic plaza<br />

which the locals consider as the<br />

birthplace of French America.<br />

It is where the famed French<br />

explorer Samuel de Champlain<br />

made his home away from home<br />

in 1608, declaring it French territory.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s still a bust of Louis<br />

XIV, the Sun King, in the centre<br />

of the plaza, installed in 1686,<br />

which was the town’s bustling<br />

marketplace in the 17th and 18th<br />

centuries.<br />

Fifty years ago, the harbourside<br />

district was reborn and rehabilitated,<br />

with antique shops, bistros,<br />

and chic boutique hotels breathing<br />

renewed atmosphere into the<br />

plaza.<br />

Dominating the square is Notre-Dame-des-Victoires,<br />

Québec’s<br />

oldest stone church, built in 1688<br />

after an inferno razed many<br />

Lower Town homes. Built atop<br />

the ruins of Champlain’s first<br />

outpost, British cannons smashed<br />

the church during the 1759 siege,<br />

which was lustily restored four<br />

years later.<br />

Its paintings, altar, and large<br />

model boat suspended from the<br />

ceiling, were brought by early<br />

settlers to ensure safe voyages.<br />

Unsurprisingly, the church is one<br />

of the most coveted locations for<br />

weddings in Canada. It’s fully<br />

booked for the next two years.<br />

Rue du Petit-Champlain is<br />

arguably the prettiest street in<br />

the city, flanked by impeccably<br />

restored merchant houses and<br />

fur trading posts, now brimming<br />

with bistros, art galleries and<br />

handicraft boutiques.<br />

Natural-fibre weaving, Inuit<br />

carvings, hand-painted silks,<br />

local fashion design, and enamelled<br />

copper crafts are among<br />

the trademark specialties for<br />

sale here. After founding the<br />

settlement in the Lower Town,<br />

Champlain relocated its heart to<br />

the more easily defendable Upper<br />

Town, atop Diamond Cape.<br />

Originally the two districts<br />

were connected by the vividlynamed<br />

Breakneck Staircase, a<br />

gut-busting stairway first built in<br />

1635. Originally built in wood,<br />

the current steel staircase replaced<br />

it in 1968. It’s no problem<br />

tottering down, but a hell of a<br />

thigh-burner clambering back up.<br />

Save your energy and opt for the<br />

funicular when ascending.<br />

I’m a funicular fanatic from<br />

way back and Quebec’s cliffclimbing<br />

contraption is a classic.<br />

It’s actually one of the region’s<br />

oldest businesses, hauling humanity<br />

since 1879.<br />

<strong>The</strong> funicular coughs you out<br />

onto Dufferin Tce, which occupies<br />

the site of the fort and chateau<br />

which served as the official<br />

residence for the governors of<br />

New France, including the British<br />

rulers, until it was destroyed by<br />

fire in 1834.<br />

<strong>The</strong> governor at the time,<br />

Lord Durham, decided to build<br />

a sprawling cliff-side wooden<br />

promenade on top of the chateau<br />

ruins, which has been progressively<br />

enlarged now extending<br />

for a kilometre along the cliffs of<br />

Cape Diamond. Lurking beneath<br />

the terrace, the archaeological<br />

crypt of the chateau’s remains and<br />

the seat of power for French and<br />

British governors.<br />

A major excavation project<br />

has revitalised the ruins and the<br />

relics, which you can now walk<br />

through, underneath the terrace.<br />

<strong>The</strong> terrace eventually leads you<br />

all the way down to the Plains of<br />

Abraham, where a 20min battle<br />

changed the course of history<br />

and a continent’s destiny. It was<br />

on this field that Britain’s General<br />

James Wolfe and the French General<br />

de Montcalm crossed swords<br />

and both died, climaxing in the<br />

British army conquering Quebec,<br />

spelling the death on New France.<br />

It’s a peaceful city park now,<br />

full of winding walking paths<br />

and bicycle trails, and a favourite<br />

spot for cross-country skiers,<br />

come winter. Adjoining the park,<br />

the British reinforced the city’s<br />

defences and built a colossal starshaped<br />

fortress, the Citadel.<br />

It is the largest fortified base in<br />

North America still occupied by<br />

troops. <strong>The</strong> regiment turns out in<br />

scarlet tunics and bearskin caps<br />

for the changing of the guard,<br />

daily. In a city that has borne<br />

witness to such dramatic military<br />

history, the Fort Museum brings<br />

it all to life with a riveting sound<br />

and light show cast across a giant<br />

diorama, re-enacting the area’s<br />

important battles.<br />

It’s all staged across a 37 sq m<br />

replica of the city – complete with<br />

ships, cannons, and hundreds of<br />

miniature soldiers lined up for<br />

battle. www.quebecregion.com<br />

STRATEGIC: Hotel Chateau Frontenac is on the site where<br />

former French and British governors once held power.<br />

PRETTY: Rue du Petit-Champlain is brimming with boutiques,<br />

galleries and bistros.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Chicago brings ‘all that jazz’ to Court<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

PREPARE TO step into the roaring 20s as<br />

one of the city’s largest theatre companies<br />

brings crime, razzle-dazzle, scandal and<br />

all that jazz to the stage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre will stage one of<br />

the longest running shows in Broadway<br />

history as its major musical for the year –<br />

Chicago.<br />

And the show’s iconic role of the<br />

fidgety and innocent yet selfish character<br />

Roxie Hart will be<br />

played by National<br />

Academy of Singing<br />

and Dramatic Art<br />

graduate Nomi<br />

Cohen.<br />

Having grown<br />

up watching the<br />

2002 film starring<br />

Catherine Zeta-<br />

Jones and Renée<br />

Nomi Cohen<br />

Zellweger, she<br />

considers Roxie<br />

one of the most exciting roles she has<br />

played.<br />

“I find she is a fidgety sort of person<br />

and has a really unstable sort of energy<br />

. . . you will probably notice she isn’t<br />

necessarily super consistent with the sort<br />

of person she is because she doesn’t really<br />

know who she is,” Cohen, 25, said.<br />

Set in Chicago during prohibition, it<br />

focuses on the concept of corruption and<br />

celebrity criminals during the 1920s.<br />

Cohen said she certainly does not plan<br />

on clawing her way to the top, but she<br />

shares similarities to her character in<br />

terms of drive and determination.<br />

“I think we all want to be loved<br />

and want to be admired and<br />

want to be good at what we do<br />

and be recognised.<br />

Originally from Flagstaff,<br />

Arizona, Cohen moved to<br />

Christchurch when she<br />

was eight and has been<br />

based in Auckland for the<br />

past four years.<br />

It has been a tough<br />

road for Cohen since<br />

her graduation from the<br />

National Academy of<br />

Singing and<br />

Dramatic<br />

Art in<br />

2012.<br />

“You graduate and you think success<br />

means a constant job. I think that<br />

is simply not true,” she<br />

said. But she said<br />

when she<br />

looks back<br />

she has<br />

been<br />

lucky to work in the performing arts most<br />

of the time.<br />

“I think there is an exciting and<br />

important conversation starting to<br />

happen over the last year that talks about<br />

the mental health of performing artists,”<br />

she said.<br />

She said no one can prepare you for<br />

what it feels like to have swallow your<br />

pride and take a normal job because you<br />

have to pay the bills.<br />

“Find ways of getting through the tough<br />

times that don’t involve things that aren’t<br />

good for your body. Drugs and alcohol<br />

can be quite a big issue within our<br />

industry,” she said.<br />

Some of her favourite work she<br />

has performed includes her own<br />

award-winning show S+S Song<br />

& Cabaret: PUSS.<br />

Growing up, Cohen saw no<br />

other option than to go to<br />

performing arts school.<br />

She said when she was<br />

younger and “beyond the<br />

age of cute”, she would<br />

create entire outfits out of<br />

scarfs or dress up as a cat<br />

and drink milk out of a<br />

saucer on the ground.<br />

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

STRAWBERRY AND<br />

MARSHMALLOW PARFAIT<br />

Ingredients<br />

½ cup Marshmallows, small<br />

350g Sugar<br />

500g Strawberries, hulled<br />

6 Eggs, 4 yolks, 2 whole<br />

2 cups Cream, thick<br />

500g Strawberries, fresh, for<br />

garnish<br />

Directions<br />

To prepare the tin, line a narrow<br />

terrine mould about 30cm<br />

x 10cm with plastic wrap. Set<br />

some of the marshmallows along<br />

the bottom with some strawberry<br />

slices.<br />

Place the strawberries in a<br />

saucepan with half the sugar.<br />

Bring to a gentle simmer over a<br />

low heat. <strong>The</strong> juices will come<br />

out, so there is no need to add<br />

water. Simmer for no more<br />

than 2min, then remove from<br />

the heat and mash or purée the<br />

mixture.<br />

Return it to the pan and set<br />

aside. Use an electric beater to<br />

whisk the egg yolks and whole<br />

eggs with the remaining sugar<br />

until thick and mousse-like.<br />

Return the strawberry and sugar<br />

mixture to the heat and bring to<br />

a simmer. With the beater still<br />

running, tip this hot mixture<br />

into the eggs and continue<br />

whisking until it is really thick<br />

and well incorporated. <strong>The</strong> hot<br />

sugar and strawberries “cook”<br />

the egg yolk, so it is not raw.<br />

Whip the cream until it reaches<br />

soft peaks, then fold it gently<br />

through. Add the remaining<br />

marshmallows to the mixture.<br />

Spoon it into the prepared tin.<br />

Cover with plastic wrap and<br />

freeze for at least 24 hours. To<br />

serve, cut the parfait into slices,<br />

surround with sliced strawberries<br />

and place in a cup.<br />

HOW TO ROAST THE<br />

PERFECT WHOLE LEG OF<br />

LAMB<br />

Whole leg of lamb<br />

1-2 tbsp oil<br />

Rock salt<br />

Freshly ground black pepper<br />

4-5 sprigs fresh rosemary<br />

Take the lamb out of the fridge<br />

30min before cooking to allow<br />

it to come to room temperature.<br />

Preheat the oven to 170 deg C.<br />

Place a wire rack in a roasting<br />

tray, place the lamb on the rack<br />

and brush the meat with the oil<br />

and then season with the rock<br />

salt and freshly ground black<br />

pepper.<br />

Rub the lamb with the rosemary<br />

sprigs leaving them in the<br />

roasting dish. Place the meat into<br />

the oven and roast at 160 deg C,<br />

allowing 30min per 500g.<br />

To test if the meat is cooked,<br />

use a skewer to pierce the leg at<br />

the thickest part, going through<br />

to the bone. If the juices are clear,<br />

the lamb is cooked.<br />

Remove the lamb from the<br />

oven, cover the meat with some<br />

aluminum foil and then set the<br />

lamb aside to rest, for approximately<br />

15-20min. Carve the meat<br />

and serve with your favourite<br />

vegetables and plenty of gravy.<br />

Head to the Jones Road Auto Selwyn<br />

Motors and more on display<br />

A great day’s entertainment is on<br />

order for the inaugural Jones Road Auto<br />

Selwyn Motor Fest and Family Fun Day.<br />

Hours of planning and work have gone<br />

into making this a great day out and<br />

there will be something for everyone in<br />

the family, especially motor enthusiasts.<br />

Covering 30 hectares, the Jones Road<br />

Auto Selwyn Motor Fest and Family Fun<br />

Day will be a huge affair with hundreds<br />

of cars, trucks, motorcycles, motors,<br />

tractors, steam engines and interesting<br />

displays, as well as market and food stalls.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first of its kind for the district, this<br />

event has attracted considerable interest<br />

with over 200 show vehicles registered so<br />

far. Motor vehicles on display will range<br />

from a 1914 Model T to late model cars<br />

like a 2014 Corvette and <strong>2017</strong> Lotus 7.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ellesmere Vintage Club, Vintage<br />

Speedway and RATEC Motorsport will<br />

be there, while the Canterbury Mustang<br />

Club are making this day an official club<br />

event.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> grounds look fantastic with the<br />

grass cut and baled for seating. <strong>The</strong>re’ll<br />

be something for everyone with a great<br />

show of motor vehicles and wide variety<br />

of stalls and entertainment throughout<br />

the day,” says Selwyn District Councillor<br />

Craig Watson who is on the organising<br />

committee.<br />

Craig says the event will be a fete<br />

with a motor focus, cool activities and<br />

displays. Local emergency services<br />

including St John ambulances; vintage<br />

and car clubs; rally cars; the New<br />

Zealand Trucking Association; the<br />

Selwyn District Council; Residents’<br />

Association; Selwyn Parenting<br />

Network; and other community<br />

groups will be present. <strong>The</strong>re will be<br />

plenty for the children too, with a<br />

Bunnings Warehouse construction<br />

display, bouncy castles, face painting,<br />

pony rides, steam engine rides and<br />

more.<br />

Thirty plus market stalls will<br />

offer something for everyone, from<br />

motoring paraphernalia to children’s<br />

clothing and Tupperware, with an<br />

additional 15 food stalls and four<br />

coffee vendors providing a range of<br />

Supporting St John<br />

<strong>The</strong> Selwyn Central St John branch has<br />

responsibility for raising $150,000 towards<br />

their local operation. All money from the<br />

Jones Road Auto Selwyn Motor Fest and<br />

Family Fun Day will go to supporting<br />

the Leeston and Rolleston stations,<br />

ambulances and vital services offered by<br />

St John throughout a district that covers a<br />

considerable geographic area.<br />

Local business<br />

supports local<br />

community<br />

When Nigel and Lisa Fleck heard about<br />

plans for a motor fest they were keen to<br />

get involved, leading to Jones Road Auto<br />

becoming major sponsor for the event.<br />

With a shared interest in cars and both<br />

Nigel and Lisa driving their own classic cars,<br />

the idea of holding a family oriented motor<br />

fest in Selwyn appealed, especially as it is a<br />

fundraiser for St John.<br />

“With it being a family event and fundraiser<br />

for such a good cause, it was important for us<br />

to be involved,” says Lisa who with Nigel own<br />

and operate Jones Road Auto and Selwyn<br />

Auto.<br />

“Participation in this event allows us to give<br />

something back to the community especially<br />

when St John helps so many people.”<br />

Plug-in Prius takes charge<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

I GET the impression<br />

we are on the cusp of a<br />

dramatic change in the way<br />

automobiles are built, well,<br />

more specifically, the way<br />

they are powered.<br />

Some manufacturing<br />

companies have already<br />

announced a phasing out<br />

of the internal combustion<br />

engine while others<br />

are rapidly increasing<br />

development of electric<br />

cars.<br />

Add to that the desire<br />

by many governments<br />

to increase the electric<br />

vehicle fleet, including<br />

New Zealand, and the<br />

stage is set for an electric<br />

revolution.<br />

In New Zealand at<br />

present there are several<br />

plug-in, electric-only<br />

models in our new car<br />

market, and there are many<br />

others available pre-owned<br />

through direct imports<br />

from Japan, and if you take<br />

into account the multitude<br />

of hybrid models available<br />

new, then a definite wind<br />

of change can be felt.<br />

<strong>The</strong> car that started the<br />

hybrid revolution, Toyota’s<br />

Prius, is not available here<br />

new as a plug-in, even<br />

though it is marketed<br />

extensively in Japan and<br />

the United States.<br />

However, if you are keen<br />

to join the plug-in brigade,<br />

yet find the cost of buying<br />

electric quite prohibitive,<br />

then Toyota may still have<br />

the answer. Toyota New<br />

Zealand is importing preowned,<br />

low kilometre Prius<br />

models direct from Japan,<br />

TOYOTA PRIUS PHEV: Pre-owned from Toyota’s<br />

Signature Class operation.<br />

they are refurbished at<br />

Toyota’s Thames Signature<br />

Class facility before offered<br />

to the dealer network.<br />

Toyota New Zealand<br />

made one of these available<br />

for evaluation, and the first<br />

thing you notice is that it<br />

still has that easy-to-drive<br />

operation that we have<br />

come to know in Prius, it<br />

is intuitive and the hybrid<br />

system is still very much<br />

intact, the plug-in facility is<br />

an extra, it’s there to offer<br />

electric-only travel.<br />

When battery energy<br />

runs low, the four-cylinder<br />

1.8-litre petrol mechanism<br />

cuts in to work in the way<br />

that hybrids have now<br />

become familiar.<br />

Because the evaluation<br />

car was pre-owned I didn’t<br />

take stock of the fuel usage<br />

benefits Prius offers, except<br />

to say new Prius is rated<br />

with a 3.4-litre per 100km<br />

(82mpg) combined cycle<br />

fuel usage average.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plug-in effect<br />

wouldn’t alter that figure,<br />

it’s just that by plugging it<br />

in and charging you are<br />

effectively prolonging the<br />

time before petrol power<br />

cuts in.<br />

Of course, there are<br />

buttons to alternate<br />

between the two power<br />

sources at the driver’s<br />

discretion, but the Prius<br />

in this form is intuitive,<br />

it does things in its own<br />

way so seamlessly that the<br />

driver needn’t know what<br />

is going on under the<br />

bonnet.<br />

New Zealand buyers<br />

have been served well by<br />

the beautifully-presented<br />

models from Toyota<br />

Signature Class operation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> evaluation car was<br />

pristine, showing just<br />

17,000km. Similar models<br />

are listing for around<br />

$35,000.<br />

That represents a huge<br />

saving against some of the<br />

new electric-only models<br />

in today’s market here.<br />

Holden Equinox here<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

CHRISTCHURCH’S top tennis<br />

player will look to put his name<br />

alongside some of the greats<br />

from the past 116 years when he<br />

competes for one of Canterbury’s<br />

oldest sporting trophies at<br />

Wilding Park this weekend.<br />

James Meredith, 27, is the No<br />

1 seed for the Canterbury Open,<br />

a title he came within touching<br />

distance of two years ago.<br />

<strong>The</strong> open was first played in<br />

1901 and contains some of the<br />

biggest names in New Zealand<br />

tennis over the past century,<br />

including the likes of Onny Parun,<br />

Brian Fairlie, Alistair Hunt,<br />

David Lewis and Mark Nielson.<br />

“To have my name alongside<br />

names like that would be an<br />

honour,” said Meredith.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cashmere player is looking<br />

to go one step better than the<br />

last time he played in the open<br />

in 2015. He was defeated in the<br />

final by French Open doubles<br />

champion Michael Venus in<br />

three sets 4-6, 7-5, 4-6.<br />

“2015 was really special playing<br />

in front of a home crowd at<br />

Cashmere. <strong>The</strong> atmosphere there<br />

was awesome and I’m hoping<br />

we get another good showing<br />

at Wilding Park this weekend,”<br />

said Meredith.<br />

His chances of lifting the title<br />

received a massive boost yesterday<br />

when 2016 champion, Rhett<br />

Purcell, of Auckland, withdrew<br />

from the open due to injury.<br />

Meredith has been on a good<br />

run of form leading into the<br />

open. He is unbeaten playing for<br />

Cashmere in the Christchurch<br />

inter-club competition and has<br />

also been travelling to Auckland<br />

to play in its inter-club competition.<br />

In Auckland, he has had<br />

only one loss playing singles to<br />

is hoping to put his name<br />

alongside some of the<br />

country’s tennis greats,<br />

including (inset from top)<br />

Onny Parun, Alistair Hunt and<br />

Mark Nielson.<br />

show how far he has progressed<br />

as a player. <strong>The</strong> last six months<br />

has seen him develop his game<br />

on clay in Europe as well as play<br />

in a number of junior tournaments<br />

across Asia.<br />

Heap will face a number of<br />

draw with Waimairi’s big serving<br />

Remi Feneon, national 14<br />

and under champion Reece<br />

Felck, and Elmwood No 1<br />

Hayden Joblin all on the stacked<br />

side of the draw.<br />

<strong>The</strong> winner of the championship<br />

will walk away with<br />

NZ$1800. <strong>The</strong> total prize pool<br />

of $10,000 will be split equally<br />

across the men’s and women’s<br />

competiton.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 16-strong men’s tournament<br />

will be made up of 11<br />

seeded players, with 10 others<br />

playing off for the remaining five<br />

spots on Friday. <strong>The</strong> opening two<br />

rounds will be played on Saturday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> semi-finals and final<br />

will take place on Sunday.<br />

top on 10 points with Northern<br />

Football and Southern Football.<br />

Auckland Football are also in<br />

the race for the top three on nine<br />

points.<br />

A win on Sunday will guarantee<br />

the Pride at least a spot in the<br />

pre-final on December 3. However,<br />

if Northern and Southern<br />

drop points, the Pride could<br />

finish the round-robin in top<br />

spot which will automatically<br />

qualify them for the final. <strong>The</strong><br />

second and third place finishers<br />

will play-off in the pre-final for<br />

Rally NZ<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

MATT SUMMERFIELD will go<br />

into this weekend’s New Zealand<br />

Rally Championship decider with<br />

a “trophy or trailer” attitude.<br />

Summerfield, 25, goes into<br />

Rally New Zealand in Tauranga<br />

third in the championship on 98<br />

points, just 11 behind championship<br />

leader Andrew Hawkeswood.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2015 national champion,<br />

Ben Hunt, is on 99 points, giving<br />

the final round of the championship<br />

an intriguing three-way fight<br />

for the title.<br />

“We’ll need a couple of things<br />

to go our way but our attitude<br />

will just be to push as hard as we<br />

can,” said Summerfield.<br />

Along with overall championship<br />

honours, there will also be<br />

another illustrious prize up for<br />

grabs in Tauranga.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rally New Zealand trophy<br />

is among the most prestigious in<br />

New Zealand motorsport. <strong>The</strong><br />

trophy was last contested in 2012,<br />

when it was won by nine-time<br />

world rally champion Sebastien<br />

Loeb.<br />

Top seed for the event will be<br />

World Rally Championship star<br />

Hayden Paddon, who will team<br />

up with former co-driver John<br />

Kennard in their Hyundai i20<br />

AP4+ car. Hawkeswood will run<br />

second on the road in his Mazda<br />

2 AP4+, while Hunt’s Subaru<br />

WRX STi will run third ahead<br />

of Summerfield who has a handy<br />

road position of fourth.<br />

“Obviously Hayden [Paddon]<br />

is going to be the guy to beat, but<br />

we’re all going to be on the limit<br />

behind him,” said Summerfield.<br />

& Property<br />

What’s my house really worth?<br />

When you’ve lived in a property for<br />

a while it can be hard to be rational<br />

about its worth. How can you put a<br />

price on the spot where you’ve built<br />

so many memories with family and<br />

friends? Someone will surely recognise<br />

the hours you spent sanding back the<br />

windows or digging out the agapanthus<br />

in the garden and reward you with a<br />

high price, won’t they? Unfortunately<br />

potential buyers may see things<br />

differently, especially in a slow housing<br />

market.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are several methods you<br />

can use to gauge the worth of your<br />

property. Remember that the rateable<br />

value or RV (formerly known as the<br />

government valuation, or GV) of your<br />

property doesn’t really provide any<br />

clues. <strong>The</strong>se valuations are done by the<br />

local council to work out what share of<br />

rates a household should pay. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

only done every three years and don’t<br />

take any improvements into account –<br />

increasingly, properties that include an<br />

RV figure in the advertising will come<br />

with a disclaimer that it is not indicative<br />

of current market value.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se days you can gather a lot of<br />

information for free thanks to websites<br />

like Trade Me and Homes.co.nz. Trade<br />

Me’s Property Insights has information<br />

on more than 1.5 million homes,<br />

including rateable value data, previous<br />

sale prices, when the property was built<br />

and what size it is. <strong>The</strong> site also provides<br />

an estimated value range, based on<br />

a melting pot of data from sales of<br />

comparable properties, listing details<br />

and user activity. Homes.co.nz operates<br />

similarly. Its estimate service is built<br />

on a complex set of valuation models,<br />

using around 30 million pieces of data<br />

bought from councils nationwide, plus<br />

sales values and a wide set of property<br />

features. Both sites recognise there are a<br />

number of factors at play, so they offer<br />

an estimated value range that can be<br />

quite broad.<br />

While both these sites are useful, they<br />

don’t show the full picture and should<br />

only be used as the starting point in<br />

determining value. <strong>The</strong>y can’t take<br />

the condition of your property into<br />

account and they may not recognise<br />

any improvements you might have<br />

made (though homes.co.nz does allow<br />

owners to ‘claim’ their property and edit<br />

information about it).<br />

Let’s say you own a large property in<br />

an area where there have been some<br />

big-ticket sales in the last year. Your<br />

property might have some serious<br />

structural issues and be in generally<br />

poor condition, yet the algorithms<br />

may claim that it is worth a lot more<br />

than any sensible buyer would pay<br />

for it because other houses in the<br />

neighbourhood have sold for high<br />

prices. <strong>The</strong> impact of this is two-fold.<br />

Firstly, the seller could anticipate a big<br />

pay-day that may never arrive; and<br />

secondly, some buyers may be put off<br />

making an offer because they think it’s<br />

out of range.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are a couple of ways to combat<br />

this. When you start working with a<br />

real estate agent to sell your property<br />

they must supply you with a current<br />

market appraisal or CMA. This is based<br />

on similar information to the online<br />

versions, but it also comes with the<br />

agent’s real-time, real-life knowledge<br />

of the area, what similar properties<br />

have sold for and the condition and<br />

particular characteristics of your<br />

own property (such as whether it<br />

has been repainted recently or it’s in<br />

a state of disrepair). <strong>The</strong> agent will<br />

have had the chance to walk through<br />

your property and identify its unique<br />

selling propositions, such as good sun,<br />

proximity to desirable schools and other<br />

features that buyers like. It’s important<br />

to note that you may get varying CMA<br />

ranges from different real estate agents<br />

as they may each take a divergent<br />

perspective on your property that you<br />

will then need to consider.<br />

Your other option is to pay a<br />

registered valuer to provide you with<br />

an independent valuation. This service<br />

comes at a cost (the price will vary,<br />

depending on the level of detail), but<br />

it will be more accurate. <strong>The</strong> Property<br />

Institute, which represents valuers, says<br />

a registered valuation can help sellers<br />

be a little more clinical about their<br />

property’s worth.<br />

Even with all the information you<br />

can gather, the true indication of<br />

your property’s value is what a willing<br />

buyer will pay for it at the given time<br />

that it’s on the market. A valuation, a<br />

price range or a figure reached by an<br />

algorithm is not cash in the bank.<br />

tribute artist, David LaPlanche. Formerly from Christchurch,<br />

David now lives in NSW and is a regular on the club circuits<br />

both here and in Australia. He will be presenting his renditions<br />

of hits by Cash, Cliff, Darin, Nelson, Presley and more!<br />

Shane and David, backed by the Flashback Rockers<br />
