“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 />

temporary<br />

liquor ban<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 />

Funding to buy CCTV<br />

cameras reached<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 />

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 />

COMMUNITY NEWS<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 />

team’s event in the 16 and under<br />

section and in the 16 and under<br />

singles and doubles tournament.<br />

He said he is excited to get<br />

stuck in at the tournament and<br />

feels he has a good opportunity to<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 />

CONFIDENT: Fifteen-year-old Reece Falck is looking to add to his 14 and under national title he<br />

Reece Falck, Jamie Garbett, William<br />

Schneideman, Liam Adams,<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 />
