LINDA CHEN has a new 

outlook on life after giving birth 

to her first child, Sebastian. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

member and her husband Robin 

welcomed the baby boy on April 

10 in what she described a 

“precious experience.” 

“Having a child has 

not only been a precious 

experience for me, as 

a woman, but it has 

also changed the 

way I see the world. 

I now see the world 

as a mother – the 

agendas and issues 

in our ward have 

become a lot more 

personal now.” 

Sebastian is also 

the first grandchild 

of both sides of the 

family, “so he is 

getting a lot of love 

and attention,” said 

Mrs Chen. 

The couple first 

met while at primary school at 

the former Kendal School in 

Harewood.

Public 

pressure 

makes 

ECan 

rethink 

bus cuts 

• By Julia Evans and Sophie 

Cornish 

“OVERWHELMING” 

opposition has caused 

Environment Canterbury to 

re-think its proposed cuts to bus 

routes in the city. 

ECan staff prepared an “alternative 

option” to the proposal 

in its draft Long Term Plan, 

that would axe the six lowest 

performing bus routes, affecting 

110,000 passenger trips. 

The new proposal will save 

the 107 Styx Mill to Northlands 

while the 108 Casebrook to 

Northlands will be absorbed 

into an extended version of the 

28 Papanui to Lyttelton service. 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Mike Davidson urged people to 

submit on the plan, saying the 

routes were an “essential social 

service.” 

He said while the new option 

is “really good news” for residents 

in his ward, “other areas 

haven’t been as fortunate, which 

is a shame.”

THAT’S A Martin Hunter special on the 

front page today. 

What I mean is the photo of community 

board member Linda Chen and her baby. 

It was taken by Hunter, still one of the 

best photographers in the country in my 

humble view, and it certainly captures the moment! No doubt 

it’ll be one for the scrapbook – electronic presumably these days. 

And of course congratulations to Linda and her husband 

Robin who first met when they were youngsters at primary 

school. Small world. 

Great news also on the front page today over the planned 

axing of bus routes. 

Environment Canterbury is having second thoughts about it 

now – no doubt because of the public outrage.

Minister urged to fix school zone plan 

Jones says 

suburbs feel 

‘abandoned’ 


A CALL has been made to the 

minister of education to ensure 

suburbs in the city’s east are not 

further tested “to the point of 

breaking.” 

In a letter from the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board to 

Education Minister Chris 

Hipkins last week, chairwoman 

Ali Jones called for him to 

reconsider 

a proposal 

which would 

exclude the 

suburbs of 

Richmond 

and Shirley 

in the new 

enrolment 

Ali Jones 

zone for 

Shirley 

Boys and Avonside Girls’ high 

schools. 

The two schools, which will 

relocate to a shared campus 

at QE II Park next year, are 

required to create a new 

enrolment zone. 

The board of trustees led 

ABANDONED: Richmond residents Laura McIntosh (left) and 

Vanessa van Hoof are upset the draft school zone for the 

new Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ campus doesn’t include 

Shirley, Richmond, Dallington, Avonside or Edgeware. 


consultation in April based on 

a document with a ‘draft zone’ 

which included the suburbs 

of Burwood, Parklands, New 

Brighton, South Brighton and 

Southshore. 

It excludes Richmond, Shirley, 

Avonside, Dallington and 

Edgeware which are currently 

in the zone. 

The re-zoning was met with 

public outcry from residents 

who felt “abandoned” and asked 

why suburbs with no historical 

connection to the schools 

were included, while others 

were left out. In the letter, Ms 

Jones said some families who 

chose to remain in the area at 

“considerable hardship” 

are no longer assured of 

enrolment for their children. 

And they are “frustrated 

by the lack of consultation, 

transparency and commitment 

by the MOE.” 

“The local communities in 

Richmond and Shirley feel 

abandoned following their 

exclusion from the zones 

that will contain the schools 

their children have attended 

and supported pre and postearthquake.” 

“This situation adds to the 

stress and upset for families 

remaining in an area that was 

hard-hit by the earthquakes,” 

said the letter. 

Residents have gathered 

more than 1900 signatures 

in an online petition against 

the exclusion, as well as 

delivering about 3000 leaflets 

to surrounding areas, alerting 

people to the issue. Signs have 

also been put on fences in 

the excluded suburbs, saying 

‘don’t leave our kids out in the 

cold’ and ‘haven’t our kids lost 

enough in the quake already?’ 

The MOE will make the final 

decision and deputy secretary 

sector enablement and support, 

Katrina Casey, said at this stage 

no decisions have been made. 

“We are in the process of 

assessing recommendations 

from the two boards, which 

includes feedback from the 

consultation they undertook 

with their communities.”

In Brief 

NEW AED FOR SCHOOL 

A donation from the Harewood 

School PTA has allowed the 

purchase of an automated external 

defibrillator. Staff, playcentre 

members and parents attended 

a training session where they 

upskilled their CPR knowledge 

and learned how to use the unit. 

The AED is located in the sick bay 

in the school’s office area and will 

be available for public use during 

school hours. It has also been added 

to the AED locations app. 

COFFEE SHOP OPEN 

A new Black and White Coffee 

Cartel shop, owned by former All 

Black Reuben Thorne, was opened 

in Papanui yesterday. The store, 

located at 7 Winston Ave, had a 

hiccup before opening, with a large 

banner overlooking Papanui Rd 

incorrectly stating it would open a 

week earlier than it was supposed 

to. “Our sign guys did it on Monday 

too early! Hang tight Papanui!” said 

a post on the store’s Facebook page. 

RUTLAND ST PARKING 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board will consider converting the

to provide sufficient parking for 

shoppers using retail outlets across

Clips for quake-stressed kids 


DANCING WITH The Stars 

co-host and well-known 

comedian Dai Henwood 

is about to do his bit for 

Canterbury children stressed 

by earthquakes, with the help of 

the Neighbourhood Trust in St 

Albans. 

Henwood is recording voiceovers 

for six webinars titled 

Stress Inside Out which are 

based on comparative research 

from Canterbury University 

associate professor Kathleen 

Liberty, with assistance from 

Christchurch teachers Liz Mc- 

Naughton and Brie Liberty. 

It is an animation project 

organised by the trust which 

focuses on stress and anxiety 

in children, as a result of the 

earthquakes. 

“I am really glad to be 

involved in such a positive 

project that’s going to be a great 

resource for the kids of the 

Christchurch earthquakes,” 

Henwood said yesterday. 

The project will examine biological 

issues within children, 

brought about by more than 

22,000 earthquakes experienced 

in Canterbury. 

The six 90sec webinars (seminar 

conducted over the internet) 

Kathleen 

Liberty 

Ginny 

Larsen 

will focus on how chronic stress 

affects children, the behaviours 

as a result and strategies on how 

to deal with it. 

Wellington scriptwriter Vincent 

Konrad and Christchurch 

animator Tom Linklater will 

use “chatty, everyday language” 

and imagery to show how the 

RESOURCE: Six webinars voiced by Dai Henwood will 

focus on stress and anxiety in children as a result of the 

Canterbury earthquakes. 

accumulation of stress can lead 

to bursting point. 

Neighbourhood Trust manager 

Ginny Larsen hopes the 

webinars will help people understand 

that the behaviours are 

not the fault of the children or 

their parents. 

“A lot of parents are taking on 

blame . . . a lot of the old strategies 

to deal with behaviour don’t work 

because the children are not in 

control of their actions and in actual 

fact it’s a biological response.” 

Funding is being provided 

from the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board as well as the 

Ministry of Social Development, 

city council and the The Tindall 

Foundation. 

The webinars will be made 

available online through Facebook 

and in schools around 

November. 

Father-of-two Henwood’s 

mother, Judge Carolyn Henwood, 

created the Henwood Trust, 

which focuses on helping at-risk 

youth and young offenders. 

Henwood is a team captain on 

TV show 7Days and is host of 

game show Family Feud. 





School’s work with 

litter recognised 

BURNSIDE PRIMARY School 

has been recognised for 25 years 

of service in an environmental 

programme which targets litter. 

The school was presented the 

award at Keep Christchurch Beautiful’s 

annual award ceremony. 

It is one of only two schools to 

have participated in the Schools 

Environment Programme since 

it’s began in 1994. 

The programme challenges 

schools to keep their grounds and 

surrounding area litter-free. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board member 

Shirish Paranjape said the school 

sets a great example which other 

schools and community groups 

should follow. 

New baby 

broadens outlook 

•From page 1 

As a board member, issues in 

the ward are now more “critical” 

said Mrs Chen. 

“The decisions we make today 

will affect people’s families and our 

future generation so it is very crucial 

that we (board members) do 

not make rash decisions. We need 

to work closely with city council 

staff to forecast the consequences 

of our decisions in the long term, 

not just for the instant results.”







Humour unleashed in bid 

to get dog park funding 


THE FUNDING required to 

extend The Groynes dog park 

has been compared to “the 

equivalent of finding stale 

popcorn behind the back of your 

sofa and selling it on Trade Me.” 

The comment was made by 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board member and 

deputy chairman Aaron Campbell 

during Long Term Plan 

2018-2028 submissions and was 

met with laughs from both the 

mayor and city councillors. 

Titled his “pet project,” Mr 

Campbell has taken his bid 

to extend the Northwood dog 

park, ‘More Park 2 Bark’, one 

step further, calling for funding 

during an LTP submission he 

made himself, separate to the 

community board’s. 

He launched his crusade to 

extend the dog park in January 

which would see part of a 31ha 

empty lot leftover from the 

Western Belfast Bypass added to 

the Johns Rd park. 

More than 450 people have 

signed a petition in support of 

the extension. 

Ninety-nine per cent of the 

infrastructure is already in 

place, said Mr Campbell, as suitable 

fencing already borders The 

Groynes. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said his 

submission was “entertaining 

and useful.” 

His popcorn comment received 

laugh from councillors 

who called out: “How much?” 

Mr Campbell replied: “About 

a gate, seriously. There are some 

acquisition costs but I can go 

into that another time.” 

Public pressure causes 

ECan to rethink bus cuts 

LAUGHS: Aaron 

Campbell 

entertained 

the mayor and 

city councillors 

at LTP 

submissions 

during his 

bid to get 

funding for an 

extension of 

The Groynes 

dog park. •From page 1 

A service from Prestons to QE 

II would be made of a combination 

of the 135 Burwood Hospital 

and 150 The Palms routes. The 

new service would not go to New 

Brighton. 

The 535 Rapaki route would 

still be cut. However, the 28 route 

would also extend to service Rapaki 

three times in the morning 

and evening respectively. 

Cr Davidson said while it’s 

good that ECan have listened, the 

entire bus system is broken and 

“needs to be fixed.” 

“The services have been reduced 

in terms of frequency and 

operating hours . . . in an ideal 

world, ECan wouldn’t be running 

the bus network in the city, 

the city council should be. That 

would be a great step forward,” 

he said. 

He would also like to see city

council work better to improve 

infrastructure around the buses, 

as well as a transfer from dieselrun 

vehicles to electric. 

“We need good bus lanes so 

buses don’t have to interact with 

cars, they need their own bus lane 

to work without having to pop in 

and out of the car lanes, getting 

stuck in traffic.” 

“It makes it more attractive, we 

don’t want people jumping into 

their cars – we want people to 

think it’s convenient,” he said. 

There were 781 submissions on 

the draft LTP, with the majority 

of those on public transport options. 

Said ECan councillor David 

Caygill: “It became very clear 

from the submissions that almost 

everybody does not want us to 

abandon the services.” 

If approved, changes would 

come into affect in October.

Cricket Club 

treasurer 

Jason 

Middlemiss 

talks about the 

club’s proud 

tradition of 

producing world-class 

players and the changes 

taking place at its home 

ground 

IF YOU drive along Heaton St 

in the evenings, you will notice 

two things – it’s clogged with 

traffic and it’s home to one of 

the most beautiful reserves in 

Christchurch – Elmwood Park. 

In the summer, it’s home to Old 

Boys Collegians Cricket Club. 

To anyone who knows or loves 

cricket, it’s the club of the Hadlee 

family, which are as close as you 

get to cricketing royalty in New 

Zealand. 

Other household cricketing 

names we are extremely proud to 

have had grace our park include 

Shane Bond, Brendon McCullum, 

our most recent Black Cap, 

Todd Astle, and current White 

Ferns Katie Martin and Erin 

Birmingham. 

Aside from the immense pride, 

we feel in being associated with 

these amazing names, most 

people may not know the current 

Hadlee Pavilion at Hagley Park 

is situated smack bang on our 

old club site, which we gave up 

willingly to ensure the beautiful 

vision that Canterbury Cricket 

had for Hagley Oval could be 

realised. Some may disagree, but 

we think it adds immensely to 

DEVELOPMENTS: Old Boys Collegians Cricket Club treasurer Jason Middlemiss is looking 

forward to the completion of a new pavilion and practice nets at Elmwood Park. 

the legacy of Hagley Park. 

It’s commonly said if you’re 

standing still, you’re moving 

backwards. 

OBC is one of the largest clubs 

in the country and arguably the 

largest in the South Island, with 

more than 500 junior members 

and 100 seniors over any given 

summer. 

Our committee feels a responsibility 

to provide the best experience 

we can as a community hub, 

where children can learn how 

to work together for a shared 

goal, enjoy success, deal with 

failure and, if their stars align, 

perhaps be the next McCullum 

or Bond. 

In the effort to move forward, 

we have some ambitious and 

exciting projects under way. 

We are more than half way into 

our $100,000 fundraising effort 

to build new, safer, enclosed nets, 

and we are in the planning stages 

of creating a new pavilion on the 

site that espouses the spirit and 

history of cricket and of the park. 

For a group of volunteers, this 

is no small undertaking, but 

along with a commitment and 

expertise we have the confidence 

that we can get it done. 

Over the next year or two, 

when you’re stuck in traffic down 

Heaton St or passing through 

on a Saturday, you will slowly 

but surely see the hard work and 

pride we have in the club coming 

to fruition.

article about door-to-door 

salespeople, and where to 

get a ‘do not knock’ sticker 

Lee F Whitehead – Tell 

them to p*** off and close the 

door. 

Corina Wilson – I need one 

of these stickers in my life, saves 

time trying to get rid of them . . . 

every house should get delivered 

one with their weekly The Star 

paper. 

Tiffany Burke – Templeton 

is just as bad. Had a very rude 

pushy man from Contact 

Energy come round. Was so 

rude it made the Templeton 

residents page and everyone that 

commented did not have a good 

word to say about him. I think 

going door-to-door selling stuff 

is rude and intrusive. If people 

want to buy what they are selling 

they are perfectly capable of 

figuring it out themselves. Same 

with these religious people that 

come round and try to ‘show 

you the path to god’. If someone 

wanted to do that, they could go 

to church themselves, not have it 

preached on their door step. 

Amanda Holden – I had 

a really rude girl knock on the 

door the other night, when I told 

her I wouldn’t donate she wanted 

to know why. She quickly got 

acquainted with the front door. 

John Dunphy – Be friendly, 

ask the ‘hawker’ what their name 

is. Then ask them if you can 

see their hawker’s licence and 

watch them clear the gate as they 

leave quickly. Hawkers require a 

licence and most don’t bother to 

get one. 

Readers respond to 

an article about a bid to 

get cycle lanes and 

restricted parking on 

Memorial Ave 

Dale Clutterbuck – The city 

council needs to start spending 

rates more wisely. Spend on 

essentials and stop finding new 

ways to waste our money. Can’t 

wait to vote again. 

Nicholas Smeaton – 

Having seen the results of other 

cycle lanes, this is an incredibly 

stupid idea. 

Diane Adams – Where 

are motorist meant to park? 

Cycleways are taking over. 

Byron Clark – There will 

be a tonne of angry comments 

but the reality is we’re moving 

toward the end of the age of the 

private motor vehicle, and our 

cities should be ready for that 

change. 

Stephen Graham – 

Excellent. Make the road safer 

for all users. 

Daniel Thompson – Great. 

So now I will have to strap my 

(6.5m) ladder and my van load 

of tools to a bike. And then 

when I’m not working, I’ll have 

to tow my disabled boy in his 

wheelchair with my bike. These 

cycle lanes are only any good 

for people who use them for 

recreation and office workers 

who don’t have to go too far and 

don’t have a tight schedule in 

SPACE NEEDED: A motorist driving on Memorial Ave crosses 

the centre-line to give the cyclist enough room.

the morning, and the cyclists 

will still use the road and the 

footpath anyway. 

Anna Henderson – I would 

love to see cycle lanes down 

Memorial. Would need to be well 

thought out and well designed, 

though. 

Bruce Marshall – $3 a litre 

for gas might make this a brilliant 

idea. 

Ruth Neil – I park outside 

Burnside High School most 

days for school pick-up and it’s 

hard to get a park. Would be 

nice if the big trucks that speed 

down Memorial Ave do the 

school speed limit when it’s in 

place; would never let my son 

cycle in the area, even if this 

got put in place. Very scary out 

there. 

Graeme Palmer – How 

about better funded bus 

routes that are public-friendly 

instead. 

Sarah Spencer Smith – 

Tram from city to airport would 

be an excellent idea. Then extend 

it out to Sumner. 

Stephanie Hagerty – 

Trevor Taylor – Not needed 

. . . I don’t think many people 

cycle to the airport. 

James David 

Foote – Memorial Ave is long 

overdue for cycle lanes. 

Sonya O’Connor – No more 

cycle lanes. 

Allan Taunt – I’ve biked 

down there on a dark wet night. 

The door zone and close passes 

(at a relatively high speed) make 

it quite dangerous compared to 

other places. 

Scotty Ogilvie – It amazes 

me that cyclists have managed to 

survive until 2018 without cycle 

lanes. 

Cedric Trounson – There 

is very little room to safely 

accommodate parked cars, 

two lanes, large centre plot and 

a 60km/h speed limit. Other 

options would be to remove the 

lawn section on the footpath, 

either move cars onto it or make 

it a cycle lane. 

Allan Taunt – The fact is 

people do have momentary 

lapses in judgement from 

time to time. Generally they 

don’t set out to endanger 

others, that is however small 

consequence to the victim. 

There is also no denying driver 

distraction is a big problem these 

days. 

Maria Sheriff – Wish they’d 

put cycle lanes where it’s really 

dangerous to cycle, like Lower 

Styx Rd, where in parts there 

is no road on the outside of the 

white line for cyclists to even use. 

See cyclists come close to being 

wiped out almost on a daily 

down that stretch. 

Susan Keys – I don’t 

know why cycle lanes can’t 

be incorporated alongside 

footpaths. Safer for all.

SCHOOLS 

‘Eugenius’ scores 

scholarship at 

top US university 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

student Eugene In has been 

accepted into the Stanford 

University medicine summer 

internship in the United 

States. 

The 17-year-old, 

nicknamed ‘Eugenius’, 

has been interested in 

Stanford University’s 

medicine faculty in 

California for many 

years. “Ever since I used 

to watch Grey’s Anatomy 

I guess,” she 

said. 

She will 

fly to the US 

in July. 

“Last year 

I was lucky 

enough to 

be in the 

United 

States for 

the International 

Future 

Problem 

Solving 

competition 

and got 

to see the Stanford campus for 

myself. It was inspirational. It’s 

not only a very prestigious university, 

but it’s well-known for its 

holistic approach to innovation 

and it prides itself on embracing 

diversity. I really like that.” 

FUNDRAISER: 

Rangi Ruru 

students 

helped 

raise more 

than $500 

for Eugene 

In (above) 

to study at 

Stanford 

University. 

Forty-six per cent of students 

who attend Stanford are from 

outside the US. 

Eugene’s classmates have 

helped her fundraise for the 

internship which comes with a 

hefty price tag. 

Rangi Ruru community 

council head Isabella 

Carter pitched the idea 

to the council after 

hearing about Eugene’s 

opportunity on Facebook. 

The idea was 

to sell gelato 

left over after 

the students 

annual ‘love 

week’ in 

February. 

As the 

cost of the 

gelato was 

already 

covered, 

any 

money 

made could 

go straight to 

Eugene. 

“We hashtagged 

it 

#HelpASisterOut 

as 

our theme at school this year is 

#sisterhood. It was amazing; we 

sold out in one lunchtime and 

raised $530.” 

Eugene is continuing to fundraise 

and will attend Stanford 

from July 9-20. 

A PLAY about twin boys 

separated at birth has been 

performed by St Andrew’s 

College students. 

More than 1300 people saw 

the school’s senior production 

of Blood Brothers, which had a 

cast of 33 as well as 10 crew and 

10 band members. 

Rector Christine Leighton 

said the show was met with 

“spontaneous standing ovations 

HAND-IN-HAND: Hana Pearce and Harry Wilkinson played 

Linda and Eddie. 

FINALE: The cast of Blood 

Brothers (left) included Leo 

Noordanus and Jenna Wells 

who played Mr and Mrs Lyons. 

‘Standing ovations’ for St Andrew’s play 

WITH THE help of the 

governor-general, Christchurch 

Girls’ High School officially 

opened its new performing arts 

centre on Friday. 

Dame Patsy Reddy unveiled 

the plaque for the centre with 

head girl Stephanie Lester and 

principal Pauline Duthie. 

The school’s previous auditorium 

was built in 1986, when 

the school moved to its current 

Maitai St location from Cranmer 

Square. It was damaged beyond 

repair in the earthquakes. 

The new centre has an auditorium, 

drama studios, solo and 

ensemble music practice rooms, 

a photography studio and classrooms. 

It will be used as a classroom 

by art, drama and music students. 

Mrs Duthie said opening the 

centre demonstrated the positive 

progress that has been made 

since the earthquakes. 

at the end, which left no doubt 

of the audience appreciation.” 

“The powerful story stirred 

much emotion,” she said. 

“It is with amazement and 

incredulity that parents, friends, 

and staff have witnessed the 

maturity and depth of emotion 

and understanding that these 

young actors have brought to 

their characters on stage.” 

Director Laurence Wiseman 

said bringing Blood Brothers to 

life involved more than 80 individual 

stories coming together 

to tell one. 

“An amazing feat in and of 

itself. Cast, crew, production 

team, band members, worked 

collaboratively towards a common 

goal.”

Martlew paddles to silver in World Cup 

• By Jacob Page 

SCOTT MARTLEW has had 

to call on all of his multiple 

sporting talents to fulfil his 

sporting aspirations. 

The talented 25-year-old, 

former Shirley Boys’ High School 

student has just returned from 

the para-canoe World Cup in 

Hungary, where he earned a 

Scott Martlew 

Scholastic titles for 

three St Bede’s surfers 

ST BEDE’S College struck triple 

success at the Canterbury surf 

scholastic championships at New 

Brighton last week. 

St Bede’s student Riley Gibson 

claimed the under-18 boys title in 

small onshore conditions, with 

waves reaching a maximum of 

50cm in spite of organisers delaying 

the start of the event in hope 

of bigger waves. 

The event was a trail for the national 

scholastic championships 

at Gisborne in October. 

A training squad will be announced 

after Queen’s Birthday 

weekend. 

Gibson’s fellow schoolmate, 

Neko Tohiariki, won the under-16 

boys event with two great 

waves in the opening minutes, 

while Caspar McCormick’s fancy 

foot work won him the long 

silver in the KL2 200m. 

It is just reward for the Parklands 

resident who initially 

missed out on Rio Paralympic 

qualification by 100th of a second. 

However, the suspension of 

Russian athletes gave him a last 

minute paralympic reprieve and 

he finished eighth in the A final 

of the KL3 200m. 

Martlew had a full leg amputation 

in 2010 following a muscle 

tear after a knock to the leg during 

a SBHS rugby curtain-raiser 

for a Crusaders match. 

The injury became infected 

with a flesh-eating bacteria. 

Martlew is a former national 

champion surf lifesaver and 

dragon boat racer. These skills, 

along with help from his mates, 

helped him adapt to his new 

sport. 

“I was always big into water 

sports, even before my injury, 

and while I went through some 

dark times, it was my mates who 

really encouraged me to get back 

out there,” 

Martlew said being reclassified 

into the KL2 200m 

event made a medal a realistic 

outcome. 

boarding with some nice cross 

steps and nose-rides. 

Rangiora’s Tegen Bishop won 

the girls mixed-age final with 

some powerful turns. 

Papanui High School’s Jai 

Oakley shot out to an early lead 

in under-14 boys with two great 

waves in the first few minutes to 

win comfortably.

“It was pretty surreal to stand 

on that podium after a long road 

with plenty of ups and downs,” 

he said. 

Martlew also finished fourth 

in the VL3 200m at the World 

Cup. 

He aims to win gold in both 

events at the Tokyo Paralympics 

in 2020. But his next focus is the

world championships in Portugal 

in August. 

“There will be some long training 

days on the Avon River and 

Kerrs Reach,” he said. 

“It often feels like I leave home 

in the dark and I return in the 

dark after a long winter training.” 

Martlew has been a largely 

self-funded athlete throughout 

his career and he wanted to 

thank family and friends who 

had supported him throughout 

his career so far. 

He would also like to thank

FAST PACED 

PSYCHOLOGICAL 

THRILLER - ‘A PICASSO’ 

FOLLOWING on from past productions ‘Turn of 

the Screw’ and ‘e Woman in Black’, locally 

based independent theatre group, NO Productions 

eatre Collective presents its latest offering, A 

Picasso. 

Photo credit: euns Verwoerd 

Written by Jeffrey Hatcher, A Picasso is a fastpaced 

psychological thriller set in an interrogation 

room in Nazi-occuppied Paris. 

Directed by Michael Adams (‘Turn of the 

Screw’), this intense piece about art, sex, politics 

and truth is full of unexpected twists and 

surprises.

Jo Fuller 027 458 8590 

jo.fuller@starmedia.kiwi 

e story line follows a cat-andmouse 

game between the great artist 

and a captivating female cultural attaché 

from Berlin. 

“Which of these three paintings are 

genuine, Señor?”… 

When Miss Fischer (played by 

Nataliya Oryshchuk) reveals that the 

genuine Picasso pieces are destined not 

for an exhibition but a burning of 

degenerate art, the artist (played by 

David Allen) begins a desperate 

negotiation with his Nazi opponent, 

who turns out to be his secret admirer. 

‘A Picasso’ takes place at the 

Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetū in the Philip Carter Family 

Auditorium on Friday June 8 at 7.30pm 

and Saturday June 9 at 2.30pm and 

7pm. Tickets $27 (concessions $22).
