“IT’S A bit humbling,” says Don<br />
Cameron.<br />
“You give your time without<br />
any expectations and then<br />
something like this pops out of<br />
the blue.”<br />
Mr Cameron, 76, was<br />
awarded the Queen’s Service<br />
Medal for services to Fire and<br />
Emergency New Zealand and<br />
the community in the New Year<br />
Honours.<br />
After serving at the Diamond<br />
Harbour Fire Brigade for 50<br />
years, including 15 years as<br />
chief fire officer, Mr Cameron<br />
says it’s not something that can<br />
be done without support. “My<br />
wife Bev’s been right alongside.<br />
I used to come home from some<br />
incidents and I’d be shaking,”<br />
he said. •Turn to page 2<br />
$4k goal<br />
for CCTV<br />
cameras<br />
in Sumner<br />
reached<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
SUMNER WILL get surveillance<br />
cameras prompted by a spate of<br />
aggravated burglaries in the area.<br />
Safer Sumner’s Kath Preston said<br />
it was “excellent news” that the<br />
group had surpassed its $4000 goal<br />
to purchase two CCTV cameras,<br />
which will record traffic going in<br />
and out of the village.<br />
The target was hit as Johnston<br />
Architects, based in Wakefield Ave,<br />
offered to match any donations<br />
made on the Safer Sumner<br />
Givealittle page.<br />
“They approached us and<br />
said they’d like to try and help<br />
. . . it’s very generous,” Ms Preston<br />
said.<br />
The Givealittle page has raised<br />
about $3000 from more than 40<br />
donors so with Johnston’s donation<br />
the total is up to about $6000.<br />
The page closes on <strong>January</strong> 5.<br />
The bid to install cameras was<br />
launched following four aggravated<br />
burglaries in Mt Pleasant, Redcliffs,<br />
Sumner and Scarborough earlier in<br />
the year.<br />
One of these involved mother<br />
Emely van Ras, who, by using a<br />
decorative Fijian skull crusher, held<br />
off an intruder with a knife.<br />

COMMUNITY NEWS<br />
A NICE story on page 1 today about Don<br />
Cameron, a very likeable chap who spent<br />
50 years serving as a volunteer fireman.<br />
Yes, that’s right – 50 years!<br />
So in recognition of Don’s services to the<br />
community, he was recognised in the New Year Honours list,<br />
alongside a number of other well deserving local people (see<br />
pages 1, 2, 4, 5).<br />
Don now lives in Somerfield but he is an icon of the<br />
Diamond Harbour area where he spent many years fighting<br />
fires, attending car crashes and other emergencies that<br />
popped up.<br />
He was also part of a number of other groups that glue a<br />
community together.<br />
Being a volunteer firefighter means you are called out at all<br />
times of the day and night, so to do that for half a century is<br />
nothing short of inspirational.<br />
Don made sure through reporter Sarla Donovan’s interview<br />
that his wife Bev got the recognition she deserves, and that<br />
is captured perfectly in Martin Hunter’s photo on the front<br />
page.<br />
“My wife Bev’s been right alongside. I used to come home<br />
from some incidents and I’d be shaking. You’ve just got to have<br />
that clear support and understanding so you can pick yourself<br />
up and do it again,” he said.<br />
Congratulations Don and Bev.<br />

Former fire chief ‘humbled’ by honour<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Mr Cameron: “You’ve just<br />
got to have that clear support<br />
and understanding so you can<br />
pick yourself up and do it again.”<br />
As well as his involvement<br />
with the fire brigade, Mr<br />
Cameron (left co-founded the<br />
Diamond Harbour Rugby Club<br />
with Ben Hawkins some 30-odd<br />
CHARGE: Former Diamond<br />
Harbour chief fire officer<br />
Don Cameron retired in<br />
2015 after 50 years of<br />
service.<br />
years ago.<br />
“When we left Diamond<br />
Harbour the community put on<br />
a farewell and the current club<br />
president, Trevor Turner, said<br />
in his speech: ‘Thank you Don<br />
for what you’ve done. I’ve made<br />
lifelong friends through what<br />
you’ve started.’ And I’d never<br />
thought about it like that; people<br />
have come together through the<br />
game of rugby and now they’re<br />
lifelong friends.”<br />
A mechanic by trade, Mr<br />
Cameron had been married a<br />
year and was living in Yaldhurst<br />
when he heard the local garage<br />
was for sale in Diamond Harbour.<br />
That was in 1965.<br />
In spite of not knowing anything<br />
about the area, he and Bev<br />
went over to take a look, decided<br />
they would “dip their toes in the<br />
water” and ended up staying for<br />
52 years.<br />
Over that time, the Camerons<br />
raised three children, became<br />
involved in the playcentre and<br />
Diamond Harbour School committee,<br />
and helped establish a<br />
school sailing club.<br />
Mr Cameron was in the Merrymakers<br />
theatre group and was<br />
a founding member of the bridge<br />
club. “It’s not putting your name<br />
out there; quite the reverse – it’s<br />
bringing people together.”<br />
He reckons community organisations<br />
are more important<br />
now than they’ve ever been.<br />
“You need your playcentres,<br />
your plunkets, your bowls,<br />
your arts group, your choir,<br />
your bridge club. That’s the<br />
structure of a community, it’s<br />
the soul. When storms and<br />
quakes come, they link the<br />
community together. That’s the<br />
value – it would be a bland area<br />
to live in if there weren’t these<br />
organisations.”<br />

Six-month liquor ban in place<br />
Local<br />
News<br />
Now<br />
In Brief<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A TEMPORARY liquor ban<br />
is being enforced in Linwood<br />
Village.<br />
The city council approved<br />
the temporary alcohol ban to<br />
be applied on the streets and<br />
parks of Linwood Village for<br />
the next six months, in a bid to<br />
reduce the level<br />
of crime and<br />
disorder in the<br />
area.<br />
The ban will<br />
apply 24 hours<br />
a day, seven<br />
days a week<br />
within the<br />
Deon Swiggs<br />
streets bound<br />
by Fitzgerald<br />
Ave, Armagh, England, and<br />
Hereford Sts.<br />
It comes after businesses and<br />
residents lobbied for the liquor<br />
ban, saying they feel unsafe<br />
shopping and working in the<br />
area due to the disorder caused<br />
by on-street drinking.<br />
Previously, police said they<br />
didn’t have sufficient resources<br />
to enforce a ban and the<br />
problem wasn’t bad enough.<br />
But last month, the Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board asked the city council to<br />
urgently investigate imposing<br />
an alcohol ban in the area<br />
after residents, businesses and<br />
police raised concerns about<br />
the high level of alcohol-fuelled<br />
behaviour in the area.<br />
Central city councillor Deon<br />
Swiggs said the liquor ban<br />
would help make Linwood<br />
Village a place where everyone<br />
feels welcome and safe.<br />
“Residents and shopkeepers<br />
have expressed feeling<br />
intimidated and unsafe due<br />
to anti-social drinking in the<br />
street, and the alcohol ban will<br />
address this immediate issue as<br />
longer term work takes place<br />
to deal with other issues<br />
surrounding the development<br />
of the Linwood Village,’’ Cr<br />
Swiggs said. But he said more<br />
needed to be done to properly<br />
address the issues.<br />
“An alcohol ban will not solve<br />
the deeper social issues that we<br />
must confront, but it is a good<br />
start to making positive changes<br />
in the area.’’<br />
A report said police were<br />
dealing on an almost daily<br />
basis with alcohol-related<br />
misbehaviour in the area.<br />
In the past six months, the<br />
number of calls coming into<br />
police from the Linwood area<br />
has increased by more than 50<br />

per cent, the police report said.<br />
It said calls have been<br />
coming from shoppers and<br />
business owners feeling<br />
intimated by the disorderly<br />
behaviour of people drinking<br />
and asking for money.<br />
“Police believe that the<br />
ban will be an effective tool<br />
to address alcohol-related<br />
offending and intimidation, and<br />
in making the community feel<br />
safe,’’ the report said.<br />
Before the temporary liquor<br />
ban expires in June, the city<br />
council will consider making it<br />
permanent.<br />
BORROW A BEACH TOY<br />
The Borrow-A-Bucket initiative<br />
has placed a chest filled with<br />
beach toys by the changing<br />
rooms at New Brighton Beach.<br />
All the toys inside are free to<br />
use for families and children<br />
at the beach, as long as they<br />
are returned. If you have any<br />
unwanted beach toys in good<br />
condition, donate them to the<br />
Borrow-A-Bucket chest.<br />
MUSEUM FILM APPEAL<br />
The New Brighton Museum is<br />
taking donations of classic films<br />
on DVD or VCR. The museum<br />
runs a movie club each Tuesday<br />
in which members watch old<br />
musicals and films from the<br />
50s with stars like Doris Day,<br />
Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and<br />
Elizabeth Taylor. Lighter films<br />
are more popular. The museum<br />
is open every day from 1-3pm if<br />
you want to drop off any films.<br />

ROYAL BUGMAN: Ruud Kleinpaste and George a two-year-old tree weta.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Bugman’s work with nature<br />
rewarded with honour<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
MORE THAN 50 years<br />
ago a very young Ruud<br />
Kleinpaste had a pair of<br />
binoculars and a curiousity<br />
for birds.<br />
Now the Halswell resident<br />
has been recognised<br />
for his services to entomology,<br />
conservation and<br />
entertainment.<br />
Dr Kleinpaste, 65, has<br />
received a member of the<br />
New Zealand Order of<br />
Merit.<br />
He said his love for<br />
nature started when he<br />
was about eight-years-old<br />
and he used a pair of<br />
binoculars to watch birds<br />
outside his bedroom<br />
window.<br />
Also known as Bugman<br />
from Maggie’s Garden<br />
Show, Dr Kleinpaste admits<br />
he never expected the<br />
award.<br />
He shares his passion<br />
with others because he<br />
wants people to learn<br />
about nature – not for<br />
recognition.<br />
“Honoured is probably<br />
the best way to describe it,”<br />
Dr Kleinpaste said.<br />
Early in his career Dr<br />
Kleinpaste spent 14 years<br />
working as an entomologist<br />
for the Ministry of<br />
Agriculture and Fisheries.<br />
In the late 1980s he<br />
began the radio talk back<br />
show, Ruud’s Awakening.<br />
He’s published regular<br />
newspaper and magazine<br />
columns and commenced<br />
television work with the<br />
documentary series The<br />
Enduring Land.<br />
Dr Kleinpaste then<br />
worked on the children’s<br />
series The Early Bird Show<br />
before becoming Bugman<br />
on Maggie’s Garden Show.<br />
In the 2000s he worked<br />
on the documentary film<br />
The Bughouse, the Animal<br />
Planet documentary<br />
World’s Biggest Baddest<br />
Bugs and the 13-part series<br />
Buggin’ with Ruud.<br />
Dr Kleinpaste currently<br />
works an ecological consultant<br />
and is a trustee of<br />
Project Crimson, Kiwis<br />
for Kiwi, Air New Zealand<br />
Environment Trust, Kids<br />
Restore New Zealand and<br />
the Omaha Shorebird<br />
Protection Trust.<br />
He’s a patron of the Little<br />
Barrier Island Supporters<br />
Trust, National Wetland<br />
Trust, Trees for Survival,<br />
Southland Community<br />
Environment Trust and<br />
Wingspan.<br />
Suprisingly though, Dr<br />
Kleinpaste never studied<br />
bugs.<br />
“It’s always been a hobby<br />
and I love it and that’s<br />
probably the best message<br />
to anybody especially children,”<br />
he said.<br />
Dr Kleinpaste said the<br />
best thing about his job is<br />
telling stories.<br />
He said humans can<br />
learn a lot from nature as<br />
it’s the best classroom.<br />

•From page 1<br />
A man was charged with three<br />
of the four aggravated burglary<br />
offences, including that of Miss<br />
van Ras. He has been remanded<br />
in custody and will next appear in<br />
court on February 21.<br />
Johnston Architects owner<br />
Regan Johnston said the business<br />
has recently moved to Sumner<br />
from the central city so the<br />
company wanted to get involved<br />
in an important community<br />
initiative.<br />
“It’s important to the community.<br />
We thought, we’re new – let’s<br />
do our part,” he said.<br />
Ms Preston said any leftover<br />
money would go straight back to<br />
the community via the Sumner<br />
Residents’ Association.<br />
Ms Preston said residents have<br />
been concerned for a number of<br />
years that property-related crime<br />
was on the rise. However, she said<br />
it was the burglary of Miss van Ras<br />
that sparked the group into action.<br />
“The idea is that if something<br />
does happen we’ve got footage<br />
to help track down whoever was<br />
involved,” she said.<br />
But she said the cameras would<br />
also act as a good deterrent to<br />
crime.<br />
Any footage captured would<br />
only be viewed by police, who<br />
support the initiative, and<br />
security staff.<br />
Shakespearean stage beckons<br />
Actress off<br />
to London’s<br />
Globe Theatre<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
“ROMEO, ROMEO, wherefore<br />
art thou Romeo?”<br />
Tigerlily Perry may soon<br />
be reciting the famous<br />
Shakespearean quote at the<br />
theatre his plays were first<br />
performed in four centuries ago.<br />
Although Romeo and Juliet isn’t<br />
her favourite play.<br />
“It’s a tie between Much Ado<br />
About Nothing and Julius Caesar,”<br />
she said.<br />
The 17-year-old who has just<br />
finished school at St Margaret’s<br />
College is hoping to send her<br />
acting career into overdrive<br />
after landing a coveted spot in<br />
the New Zealand Young Shakespeare<br />
Company.<br />
From more than 5000 applicants,<br />
Tigerlily was selected<br />
as one of the 24 students who<br />
will fly to London to perform<br />
at the Globe Theatre. Only one<br />
other student from Christchurch<br />
made the cut, Cashmere’s Ben<br />
Kelly.<br />
Tigerlily and Ben will<br />
perform and take part in several<br />
CURTAINS: Tigerlily Perry is set to head to London and<br />
perform Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre and in<br />
Stratford-upon-Avon. <br />
workshops and talks at the<br />
Globe before heading north<br />
to Shakespeare’s birthplace,<br />
Stratford-upon-Avon.<br />
“It’s really exciting thinking<br />
about performing there.”<br />
Tigerlily said she expects it<br />
will be “life-changing.”<br />
Although the trip isn’t until<br />
July, Tigerlily is already hard at<br />
work fundraising for the $8500<br />
it will take to get her there.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
“I’ve been doing odd jobs,”<br />
she said. But a funding grant<br />
of $1000 from the Shakespeare<br />
Globe Centre New Zealand has<br />
been “amazing,” she said.<br />
It comes after her recent role<br />
as the lead in the international<br />
award-winning film, A Perfect<br />
Child, made by Christ’s College<br />
and St Margaret’s students.<br />
“I’ve always been into acting.<br />
It started with the Shakespeare<br />
festival at school,” she said.<br />
Her mother was an actress,<br />
although never professionally.<br />
“Mum was an actress, she<br />
exposed me to that world and<br />
it developed when I was a kid,”<br />
she said.<br />
Tigerlily grew up with a<br />
love of reading play scripts –<br />
something she always thought<br />
was “a bit weird.”<br />
She has played Paulina and<br />
Hermione in The Winter’s Tale,<br />
Mark Antony in Anthony and<br />
Cleopatra, Trebonius from Julius<br />
Caesar and has taken the lead in<br />
Timon of Athens, Timon.<br />
But she couldn’t pick a<br />
favourite. Instead, she’s hoping<br />
to add new characters to her<br />
repertoire at the Globe in July.<br />

Readers respond to the<br />
article regarding two<br />
large trees in the former<br />
Redcliffs School grounds<br />
that may be cut down after<br />
the city council declined<br />
to give them protected<br />
status<br />
Jan Simpson – We strongly<br />
believe that the two lovely old<br />
trees in the original Redcliffs<br />
School grounds should be given<br />
protected status. I do not know<br />
the criteria for protection of<br />
worthwhile trees but on our<br />
property on Beachville Rd we<br />
have inherited a protected tree<br />
which we have tried to have<br />
removed from the list. It is a<br />
nonsense – an old, unhealthy,<br />
ngaio tree with unsightly dead<br />
branches. Ngaios are poisonous<br />
weeds and a tree such as this,<br />
very close to our house should<br />
not be protected, unlike the two<br />
lovely old trees in the former<br />
Redcliffs School. Playgrounds<br />
benefit from trees like these.<br />
Retain them please.<br />
Bobby Phuong – I believe<br />
the trees should be given protected<br />
status. They have been<br />
there for so long and are part<br />
of the land now, not to mention<br />
beautiful. If there are configurations<br />
that allow the trees to be<br />
retained then there’s no reason at<br />
all for their removal.<br />
Dan Salisbury – Please<br />
LANDSCAPE: An oak tree at the former Redcliffs School may be chopped down when the city council develops playing<br />
fields on the site. While Avondale’s Maree Ross says she wants the overgrown mess on the property next to her home<br />
cleared.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
keep the oak and elm on the old<br />
Redcliffs School site. It sounds<br />
like they can be accommodated<br />
into any new plans. The trees add<br />
so much.<br />
Readers also respond<br />
to the update about<br />
the overgrown section<br />
in Avondale<br />
Helen Young – Make a<br />
complaint to the city council to it<br />
being a fire risk. I did that when<br />
the neighbours had grass up to<br />
the top of the fence 2m high.<br />
They were made to cut it down<br />
and keep it to a low height as<br />
a fire risk. It’s worth a try even<br />
if it is the city council with the<br />
problem.<br />
Daniel Leadley – Why<br />
should the city council be<br />
expected to look after a privatelyowned<br />
section? I cut the berm<br />
down for this lady about<br />
two years ago the site was bad<br />
then hate to think how bad it is<br />
now.<br />
Karen Bullock – Typical.<br />
The city council doesn’t want to<br />
help.<br />
Nicky Kidd – The city<br />
council will end up getting<br />
someone in to do it and<br />
send them a bill. The section<br />
owners are lazy. Grow up and<br />
take responsibility of your<br />
section.<br />

Reece eyes up another national title<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
BURWOOD PARK’S Reece Falck<br />
will be looking to bring home<br />
another national tennis title when<br />
he competes in Auckland on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Fifteen-year-old Reece, who<br />
was crowned national 14 and<br />
under champion last year, will<br />
compete in the national junior<br />

take another national title.<br />
“I am feeling pretty confident.<br />
I am hitting the ball pretty well,”<br />
he said.<br />
Reece returned from<br />
Auckland last week where he<br />
attended a three-day training<br />
camp working on technique and<br />
fitness.<br />
The Shirley Boys’ High School<br />
student is coached by his father<br />
Andrew, who is the head coach at<br />
the Burwood Park club.<br />
He will also compete in the<br />
doubles with fellow Cantabrian<br />
Jamie Garbett, 16, and in the<br />
national junior team’s event and<br />
said the team has good depth and<br />
should be in with a chance to win<br />
a title.<br />
Canterbury is sending three<br />
teams to the event.<br />
The 16 and under team, who<br />
will compete in Auckland from<br />

LAZY Sundays are back and Oakley<br />
Grenell headlines at the event launch this<br />
Sunday from 3.30pm in the Christchurch<br />
Botanic Gardens.<br />
Acoustic guitar and vocals is the<br />
perfect soundtrack to chill to on your<br />
Sunday, and to kick off the Ingham's Lazy<br />
Sundays <strong>2018</strong> programme!<br />
Oakley will fluently blend blues and<br />
contemporary soul, with a dash of his<br />
country roots thrown in. We are lucky to<br />
have Christchurch jazz super group<br />
Departure Lounge to guest.<br />
Having released an 11th album in NZ,<br />
Oakley will perform originals from his<br />
back catalogue and a few covers thrown<br />
in for good measure.<br />
Over the years Grenell has supported<br />
Ben Harper, Salmonella Dub, Ce Fu, and<br />
has also worked with a host of local and<br />
international talent collaborating on all<br />
his projects.<br />
