Bugman’s work with nature recognised
• By Emily O’Connell
MORE THAN 50 years ago a
very young Ruud Kleinpaste

curiousity for birds.
Now the Halswell resident has

He shares his passion with
others because he wants people
to learn about nature – not for
recognition.
“Honoured is probably the
best way to describe it,” Dr
Kleinpaste said.
Early in his career Dr Kleinpaste
spent 14 years working as
an entomologist for the Ministry
of Agriculture and Fisheries.

Police
find teens
accused
of ‘drown
him’ case
• By Andrew King
POLICE HAVE caught two
teenagers accused of being
involved in the Rolleston ‘drown
him’ assault case.
The assault took place on
November 4 after a fireworks
display.
The police has had a difficult
task determining who was
involved in the incident due to a
lack of co-operation.
A 15-year-old says he was
punched and kicked and then
dragged to a water race, and had
his head held under water while
his attackers chanted “drown
him.”
Two youths, aged 15 and 16,
have been referred to youth aid, a
police spokeswoman said.
A youth aid officer will
review the case, meet with the
victim and alleged offenders
and determine the best course
of action, which could include
charges.
Police are not seeking anyone
else in relation to the assault
which left the victim with a
nasty gash on his face that
required stitches and a night in
hospital.

I’M NOT sure if it was our photographer
Martin Hunter, bugman Ruud Kleinpaste,
or a very compliant tree weta.
But that photo on the front page today is
pretty damn good.
Martin, I’m sure would put it down to great workmanship,
and I wouldn’t disagree given the top pix he turns out day after
day.
Martin is a photographer who has an instant visualisation of
what and how an image should look like well before he begins to
shoot. But enough of the photographer.
Top marks to Ruud for making the New Years Honours list.
We feature him, and other local recipients, in today’s issue.
Rudd has been around the bug world for a long time,
featuring regularly in magazines and TV documentaries and
other media.
Ruud has had a fascination for nature since he was a boy
with a pair of binoculars. Decades on he has made a career out
of it.
At the other end of the age spectrum Tigerlilly Perry (see
page 3) is pursuing her dream with the Young Shakespeare
Company.
Tigerlilly is off to the Globe in London and then onto
Shakespeare’s birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, to perform.
She and Cashmere’s Ben Kelly are the only two from
Christchurch in the company.
The world is their oyster.

Bugman’s work with nature recognised with honour
•From page 1
Dr Kleinpaste then worked on the children’s
series The Early Bird Show before
becoming Bugman on Maggie’s Garden
Show.
In the 2000s he worked on the documentary
film The Bughouse, the Animal Planet
documentary World’s Biggest Baddest Bugs
and the 13-part series Buggin’ with Ruud.
Dr Kleinpaste currently works an
ecological consultant and is a trustee of
Project Crimson, Kiwis for Kiwi, Air New
Zealand Environment Trust, Kids Restore
New Zealand and the Omaha Shorebird
Protection Trust.
He’s a patron of the Little Barrier Island
Supporters Trust, National Wetland Trust,
Trees for Survival, Southland Community
Environment Trust and Wingspan.
Suprisingly though, Dr Kleinpaste never
studied bugs.
“It’s always been a hobby and I love it
and that’s probably the best message to
anybody especially children,” he said.
Dr Kleinpaste said the best thing about
his job is telling stories.
He said humans can learn a lot from
nature as it’s the best classroom.

Shakespearean stage beckons
Actress off
to London’s
Globe Theatre
• By Julia Evans
“ROMEO, ROMEO, wherefore
art thou Romeo?”
Tigerlily Perry may soon
be reciting the famous
Shakespearean quote at the
theatre his plays were first
performed in four centuries ago.
Although Romeo and Juliet isn’t
her favourite play.
“It’s a tie between Much Ado
About Nothing and Julius Caesar,”
she said.
The 17-year-old Papanui
resident and former St
Margaret’s College student is
hoping to send her acting career
into overdrive after landing a
coveted spot in the New Zealand
Young Shakespeare Company.
From more than 5000 applicants,
Tigerlily was selected
as one of the 24 students who
will fly to London to perform
at the Globe Theatre. Only one
other student from Christchurch
made the cut, Cashmere’s Ben
Kelly.
Tigerlily and Ben will
perform and take part in several

workshops and talks at the
Globe before heading north
to Shakespeare’s birthplace,
Stratford-upon-Avon.
“It’s really exciting thinking
about performing there.”
Tigerlily said she expects it
will be “life-changing.”
Although the trip isn’t until
July, Tigerlily is already hard at
work fundraising for the $8500
it will take to get her there.
“I’ve been doing odd jobs,”
she said. But a funding grant
of $1000 from the Shakespeare
Globe Centre New Zealand has
been “amazing,” she said.
It comes after her recent role
as the lead in the international
award-winning film, A Perfect
Child, made by Christ’s College
and St Margaret’s students.
“I’ve always been into acting.
It started with the Shakespeare
festival at school,” she said.
Her mother was an actress,
although never professionally.
“Mum was an actress, she
exposed me to that world and
it developed when I was a kid,”
she said.
Tigerlily grew up with a
love of reading play scripts –
something she always thought
was “a bit weird.”
She has played Paulina and
Hermione in The Winter’s Tale,
Mark Antony in Anthony and
Cleopatra, Trebonius from Julius
Caesar and has taken the lead in
Timon of Athens, Timon.
But she couldn’t pick a
favourite. Instead, she’s hoping
to add new characters to her
repertoire at the Globe in July.

Volunteers sought to look after park
Coming into
summer,
Abberley
Park is the
best place
in St Albans
to picnic
and enjoy
the sunshine. Friends of
Abberley Park member
Patricia Wallace writes
about taking care of the
amenity
WHEN Christchuch’s summer
arrived in the first week of
December, families came out in
droves and hit Abberley Park.
They came in cars, on bikes,
with scooters and pushchairs.
They came in family groups,
with picnics to enjoy in the
park’s green spaces. They came
to the new playground, to the
scented garden and to the toddlers’
playground and paddling
pool.
They came with picnic chairs,
portable barbecues and dogs too.
There was at least one wedding,
and special photographic
settings for some local kindergarten
children.
Small wonder, for local
residents, the Abberley Heritage
Park and Garden is a very
special place – a true gem in the
neighbourhood.
And that is no accident, a
small group of regular visitors
have been playing a part.
The Friends of Abberley Park
is a local group that was formed
with community board approval
a year ago.
It grew as a result of people
sharing observations as they
walked their dogs around the
park every day after work.
Their major goals include the
replenishment of the scented
garden that had been neglected
for many years, and support for
the monarch butterfly colony
that is at risk of declining.
There is now a small core of
committed volunteers who help
to maintain the park, undertaking
tasks such as painting the
seats, picking up litter, helping
halt the invasive spread of acanthus,
monitoring damage and
reporting vandalism.
With council help, they coordinated
the recent Mad Winter
Picnic in conjunction with
community plantings when the
new playground was completed
– with the aim of encouraging
more people to become involved
with caring for the park.
Watering the garden is a major
task. As summer advances, it becomes
more critical – but until
now, it has been undertaken by
just three women (one of whom
works full-time, the others are
in their 70s).
The friends need more help –
are you prepared to volunteer?
But as the holiday season
approaches and daily use of the
park escalates, the friends ask
for even more community help.
Council signage asks that
users ‘look after the plants and
facilities’, and ‘do not engage in
dangerous activities or create a
nuisance to other park users or
neighbouring residents’.
Increased park usage simply
requires everyone to show more
consideration for each other.
So the Friends ask everyone to
please:
•Try to keep pushchairs and
cycles, within the 1m perimeter

boundary when using the playground,
to enable other park
users unhindered access to the
green space.
•Advise families who take
their pets that dogs are not allowed
on the playground, in fact
not within 1m of playgrounds.
Nor are dogs permitted within
the paddling pool area.
•Discourage people from
parking cycles against park
benches or loading them with
gear that prevents other park users
from sitting on them.
•Teach children not to walk
or ride on the gardens or to pick
the flowers.
•Remind folk that keeping
cars out of the park and not
treating pathways like trail-bike
tracks are public safety issues.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Readers respond to city
councillor Mike Davidson’s
bid to reinstate Papanui
Bush, a native forest
chopped down by settlers in
the 19th-century
Jonathon Chambers – I am
definitely supportive of this proposal
and any proposal to create
new areas of native bush within
the north or north-west part of
the city. Attracting more native
bird life into the north western
suburbs and Christchurch in
general is something I would love
to see over the coming decades.
Also, the ability to connect with
nature via walking tracks within
regenerating bush would be
welcome in this part of the city. I
would like to point out the plans
for a large area of regenerating
native forest and wetland that is
planned for the Cranford basin.
The Papanui bush regeneration
project would certainly compliment
this but I would hope that
the Cranford basin project would
take precedence if they were at
all competing for resources as the
Cranford basin is a much larger
area with greater potential for
achieving the aims of increased
native biodiversity and bird life.
I note that city councillor Mike
Davidson stated start up capital of
$10,000 was needed. I wonder if
the council is able to tap into the
Labour-led Governments’ plans
to have one billion trees planted
in the next decade to obtain some
funding for the above projects.

Kathleen Crisley
– This is the same city
councillor who during his
election campaign said he
would look at trimming
the non-essentials from the
council budget so that rates
were kept in check. The
problem is, once elected,
those that sit at the council
table all come up with pet
projects, all for ‘just’ a few
thousand dollars. In postquake
Christchurch, we
have to sharpen our pencils
and our priorities. Nice

ratepayers are also tightening
their belts to fund rates
increases. I have lived in
Papanui for almost 20 years
with nothing more than
a historic marker in the
Papanui Domain about
the former native bush.
I think the regeneration
project can wait a few more
years until the council and
ratepayers have cleared
a lot of the expenses for
earthquake recovery.
Angela Oliver – Yes
but it should be in the red

are plenty of areas if native

of native bush in the city

the Burwood Park club.
He will also compete in the
doubles with fellow Cantabrian

should be in with a chance to win
a title.

teams to the event.

SUMMER FUN AND HOLIDAY GUIDE
Summer holiday fun
COMMUNITY NEWS
A little thought will fill your family’s summer with lots of fun activities from games in the park
to skateboarding or discovering some interesting places around the district and in the city
Cricket and picnic in the park:
There are numerous parks and
domains around the district. Many
have shelter and great facilities making
them ideal for a picnic and a game of
cricket, touch, soccer, rugby or tennis.
Really pleasant domains can be found
at Greendale, Kirwee, Motukarara and
Sheffield, to name just a few so why
not explore the countryside and see
what you can find.
For a list of the district’s parks,
reserves and playgrounds, visit: www.
selwyn.govt.nz/facilities-and-parks/
parks-reserves-and-open-spaces.
Fun on wheels:
Skate Parks can be found at Darfield,
Prebbleton and Rolleston while
Doyleston has a great BMX track.
Discovering Selwyn’s history
Glentunnel – Learning about local
history can be fun especially if there
is some play in the day. Early life in
the district and war displays are both
featured at the Glentunnel Museum.
Greendale – Almost forgotten is
T W Adam’s Arboretum at Greendale.
Your children may enjoy exploring its
wilderness before heading down to the
domain for some play.
Akaroa – Rich in history to fascinate
young and old, is this French and
Colonial town. There is an impressive
museum, 19th century lighthouse,
historic canon and whale cooking
pots along the foreshore. Walk to the
French settlers’ memorial, through the
Garden of Tane where there is a small
and rather historic playground, or
through the Cemetary to see many old
headstones. Dine at a café or eat fish
and chips on the waterfront, engage
in a little boutique shopping, and have
fun at the skate park or with a game on
the large sports field.
Okain’s Bay – Worth a visit is
the Okain’s Bay Maori & Colonial
Museum followed by a dip in the sea
or tidal inlet at high tide.
Libraries
Encourage your children to read by
visiting a local library. District libraries
are in Darfield, Leeston, Lincoln and
Rolleston with a library bus visiting
other towns.

SUMMER FUN
A day in the city
Head into the city or to one of the Pegasus Bay beaches.
Take a ride on the Gondola, tram or paddle on the Avon River
before visiting the Botanical Gardens or Margaret Mahy Family
playgrounds, a popular outing for the young and not so young.
If the weather is inclement, a visit to the Canterbury Museum
will offer hours of interest.

Get to know your neighbours
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
NOT KNOWING your
next door neighbour can
be a common reality in
populated areas across
Canterbury.
But that is not the case
for a tight-knit community
at Monet Vale in Rolleston.
The street of 24 houses
have been making the
most of the district
council’s Meet Your Street
initiative which encourages
the neighbours to get to
know each other.
About 30 residents on
Monet Vale scored a free
barbecue from the district
council recently.
As part of the initiative,
the district council has
been encouraging residents
to organise and run their
own street gatherings and
barbecues.
A subsidy of up to $75
is available for each street
gathering.
The district council is
also travelling with its
mobile barbecue to 18 locations
across Selwyn over
the summer.
Resident Yvonne Otto
said her street is very
MAKING CONNECTIONS: Families at Monet Vale in
Rolleston getting to know their neighbours.
friendly she has loved living
in Rolleston since she
and her husband moved
from Christchurch last
year.
“We have got a real
community which we
haven’t had for years . . . we
found Christchurch really
cold actually socially,” she
said.
Mrs Otto said she and
her husband left their
home in Riccarton,
Christchurch after it
became a “terrible area for
student parties, drugs and
alcohol.”
Mrs Otto said they lived
in Riccarton for 20 years,
but they along with five
other families decided to
move out of the area last
year.
But she said she is
thrilled to be out in Rolleston.

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