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 />

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 />

will live at the park for two years<br />
while Auckland Zoo builds<br />
its South-east Asian precinct.<br />
Moving the orangutans involved<br />

transportation crates.<br />
MKR FINAL FOR CHCH PAIR<br />
Christchurch foodies Heather<br />
Andersen and Mitch MacDonald<br />
have made it through to the<br />

grand-final to air on Monday. In<br />
this week’s sudden death episode,<br />
the friends scored nine out of 10<br />
from judges Pete Evans and Manu<br />
Feildel to get through to the final<br />
against Chris and Bex Wright, of<br />
Wanaka. Ms Andersen and Mr<br />
MacDonald have been dubbed<br />
the villains of the series, but say<br />
they’re not as “awful” as people<br />
claim. •Readers’ views, page 20<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 />

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 />

to be mother of three Candyce<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 />
Transport Operations<br />
Centre manager Ryan<br />
Cooney: “Council staff<br />

a number of stickers and<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 />
year.<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.

Typewriters, adding machines<br />

<strong>The</strong> inquiry found they were<br />
probably following orders which<br />
wasted “vital time” in escaping<br />
the inferno.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was no evacuation plan.<br />
Evacuation orders were made by<br />
individual department heads.<br />

some staff returning from their<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 />

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 />

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 />
in the country that doesn’t<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Hours of planning and work have gone<br />

there will be something for everyone in<br />

Covering 30 hectares, the Jones Road<br />

of cars, trucks, motorcycles, motors,<br />
tractors, steam engines and interesting<br />

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

including St John ambulances; vintage<br />
and car clubs; rally cars; the New<br />
Zealand Trucking Association; the<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 />

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 />

HISTORY: James Meredith<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 />
challenges on his side of the<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 />
<strong>The</strong> women’s open consists<br />
of an eight-strong draw, with<br />
Australian Emily Martin heading<br />

Abby Mason.<br />
Depleted Pride need win to make football finals<br />
and Aimee Phillips all unavailable<br />
for the game due to national<br />
team duties in Thailand.<br />
Coming into their final round<br />
match against bottom-of-thetable<br />
Central Football in Palmerston<br />
North, the Pride are at the<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 />
the second final spot.<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 />
<strong>The</strong> rally consists of 12 special<br />
stages run over Saturday and<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 />
