MORE THAN 50 years ago a 

very young Ruud Kleinpaste 

had a pair of binoculars and a 

curiousity for birds. 

Now the Halswell resident has 

been recognised for his services 

to entomology, conservation and

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.

In the late 1980s he began the 

radio talk back show, Ruud’s 

Awakening. 

He’s published regular 

newspaper and magazine 

columns and started television

series The Enduring Land.

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.

COMMUNITY NEWS 

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 

CURTAINS: Tigerlily Perry is set to head to London and 

perform Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre and in 

Stratford-upon-Avon. 

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.

•From page 1 

A complaint about two officers 

involved in the case is 

believed to have been laid with 

the Independent Police Conduct 

Authority. 

IPCA case resolution manager 

Monica Robbers said due to

Rolleston property. Shoes and 

a cellphone are reported to have 

been seized. But police would

Your Local Views 

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. 

•If you would like to become 

involved, please contact 

Friends of Abberley Park 

facebook page, or give 

your name to the St Albans 

Residents Association.

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 

to haves must wait. Many 

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 

zone and much larger. 

Robin Stove – There 

are plenty of areas if native 

plantings in the city. I 

believe there is more area 

of native bush in the city 

than pre- European times. 

Remember there are some

Reece eyes up another national title 

• By Andrew King 

BURWOOD PARK’S Reece Falck 

will be looking to bring home 

another national tennis title when 

he competes in Auckland on

the Burwood Park club. 

He will also compete in the 

doubles with fellow Cantabrian

should be in with a chance to win 

a title. 

Canterbury is sending three 

teams to the event.

will compete in Auckland from

SUMMER FUN AND HOLIDAY GUIDE 

Summer holiday fun 


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.

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

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.
