Convicted killer involved<br />
in high speed smash<br />
Female<br />

escape<br />
• By Barry Clarke and Emily<br />
O’Connell<br />

Mayor Dalziel tweets Arnie<br />
Hollywood<br />
superstar<br />
hasn’t<br />
replied<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel is<br />
trying to woo <strong>The</strong> Terminator to<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Not to take out critics of<br />
chlorination, or the town hall<br />
budget blow-out, but to spread<br />
awareness of the impact of<br />
climate change.<br />
“Climate change is not a<br />
political issue, it’s a health<br />
issue,” Arnold Schwarzenegger<br />
said during the R20 Austrian<br />
World Summit in Vienna.<br />
Ms<br />
Dalziel<br />
tweeted<br />
asking<br />
whether<br />
the former<br />
governor of<br />
California<br />
would<br />
Arnold<br />
come<br />
to New<br />
Zealand<br />
Schwarzenegger<br />
and spread that message.<br />
“I would love to know if @<br />
Schwarzenegger would come to<br />
New Zealand and spread this<br />
message!” the tweet said.<br />
But when asked a number<br />
of questions by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> about<br />
the tweet, Ms Dalziel was<br />
and 15 deg C on Sunday.<br />
“It’s certainly going to be<br />
warmer . . . Saturday in particular<br />
will be a fine day, good to<br />
get out and about,” MetService<br />
meteorologist Lisa Murray said.<br />
However, she said not to bust<br />
ACTION: Mayor Lianne Dalziel tweeted <strong>The</strong> Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger to<br />
see if he would come to New Zealand.<br />
surprisingly silent.<br />
Said a spokeswoman for Ms<br />
Dalziel: “<strong>The</strong> mayor has asked<br />
me to pass on that this was for<br />
a conference and that he hasn’t<br />
replied.”<br />
THe <strong>Star</strong> also approached<br />
Schwarzenegger for comment<br />
and to see if her plea was<br />
successful. He has not<br />
responded.<br />
Schwarzenegger co-founded<br />
the R20 Regions of Climate<br />
Action non-profit organisation<br />
out the summer wardrobe just<br />
yet and keep scarves and gloves<br />
on standby as a lack of cloud<br />
cover from the high pressure<br />
system would make for colder<br />
nights and mornings.<br />
Ms Murray said the wind chill<br />
dedicated to helping local<br />
governments develop lowcarbon<br />
projects.<br />
During the summit he spoke<br />
for more than 20min about the<br />
effects of climate change on<br />
human health and how much of<br />
an influence local governments<br />
had on combating it.<br />
“To empower local and<br />
regional governments, cities,<br />
states and provinces and to let<br />
them know to move forward in<br />
a strong way and not wait for the<br />
from a southerly and showers<br />
would bring temperatures down<br />
on Sunday.<br />
Rain is forecasted for Monday<br />
with temperatures hanging<br />
around 10 deg C for the rest of<br />
the week.<br />
federal or national government<br />
or for their capital because most<br />
of the action always is happening<br />
on a local and grass roots level,”<br />
Schwarzenegger said.<br />
In November, the city council<br />
set its own net carbon-neutral<br />
target for 2030 and a citywide<br />
target for 2050.<br />
If Ms Dalziel’s bid to get Arnie<br />
to New Zealand is successful, he<br />
might even say that one thing<br />
we all want to hear.<br />
“I’ll be back.”<br />

Fatal house fire<br />
death investigation<br />
Police are investigating a fatal<br />
house fire in Halswell’s Caulfield<br />
Ave yesterday and say the death is<br />
unexplained. Emergency services<br />
were called to the property about<br />
12.30pm after reports of the<br />
blaze. Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Greg Cottam said that on arrival<br />
emergency crews located a body<br />
inside the house. Neighbour Roy<br />
McRobert said the fire service<br />
knocked on the door and nobody<br />
answered so they used a battering<br />
ram to break in.<br />

All Blacks<br />
minder<br />
thwarts<br />
car-jacking<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AN ALL Blacks minder thwarted<br />
a would-be car-jacking in Shirley<br />
at the weekend.<br />
Jason Notman came to the<br />
rescue of a motorist stopped at<br />
traffic lights on Friday night while<br />
on his way to get fish and chips.<br />
<strong>The</strong> middle-aged man was<br />
being attacked by two teenage<br />
girls at the intersection of Shirley<br />
Rd and Marshland Rd at 7.30pm.<br />
Mr Notman was able to restrain<br />
one of the teenagers who had<br />
allegedly punched the driver<br />
several times. <strong>The</strong> other girl fled<br />
and was caught by police.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> police turned up and I<br />
had her restrained thanks to my<br />
training. I said to them ‘I’m okay<br />
with this one, there’s the other<br />
running across the road’,” said Mr<br />
Notman.<br />
A 17-year-old is facing a<br />
number of assault charges<br />
and will appear in the district<br />
court on <strong>June</strong> 20. A 16-year-old<br />
from Ratana will appear in the<br />
Wanganui Youth Court on <strong>June</strong><br />
13, facing two assault charges.<br />
Quake study highlights ‘identity fusion’<br />
• By Jamie Morton<br />
WHETHER IT was helping<br />
rescuers amid rubble or offering<br />
a hand to neighbours whose<br />
homes had been damaged,<br />
Christchurch residents<br />
profoundly pulled together<br />
after the city’s devastating 6.3<br />
earthquake.<br />
That post-quake unity was<br />
famously captured in a term<br />
judged 2011’s word of the year –<br />
munted.<br />
A new<br />
study has further<br />
explored<br />
that sense of<br />
solidarity,<br />
finding how<br />
the disaster<br />
Keren Segal<br />
forged what<br />
psychologists<br />
call “identity<br />
fusion.”<br />
In a first-of-its-kind experiment,<br />
University of Otago<br />
researchers asked Christchurch<br />
residents to recall their experiences<br />
of the February 22, 2011,<br />
quake, in which 185 people lost<br />
their lives.<br />
<strong>The</strong> study, which involved<br />
200 participants who were older<br />
than 18 at the time, explored<br />
SOLIDARITY: People pull together after sharing a<br />
life-defining event.<br />
various levels of identity fusion,<br />
occurring when people endure a<br />
shared and life-defining event.<br />
“We found that participants<br />
who we asked to recall the<br />
earthquake felt stronger connection<br />
to Christchurch when they<br />
endured more negative effects;<br />
when they felt more fear as they<br />
recalled the earthquake or if<br />
they suffered more harm – be<br />
that physical or psychological<br />
harm – due to the earthquake,”<br />
lead author Keren Segal said.<br />
Levels of harm were measured<br />
by participants’ responses to<br />
questions about the earthquake’s<br />
effect on their own<br />
personal situation – whether<br />
that was their physical or mental<br />
state, or effects on property and<br />
their workplace.<br />
“What we found that was particularly<br />
influential and more<br />
influential than other measurements,<br />
was people’s emotional<br />
and physical suffering that they<br />
endured due to the earthquake<br />
– so people who suffered more<br />
physically and psychologically<br />
felt more fused and connected<br />
to the city when they recalled<br />
the earthquake.”<br />
Ms Segal said one of the most<br />
interesting findings concerned<br />
a question asking if people believed<br />
God was involved in the<br />
earthquake, or if the earthquake<br />
“happened for a reason.”<br />
“We found that people who<br />
attributed more agency or more<br />
intention to the earthquake<br />
were more fused to Christchurch,<br />
so they felt a stronger<br />
connection to the city.<br />
“This is important for us<br />
because usually these kind of<br />
studies are conducted when you<br />
relate to an out-group threat like<br />
a terrorist attack or war.”<br />
In those situations, she said,<br />
people tended to fuse because<br />
they could say “somebody else<br />
did it”.<br />
“So it was interesting to find<br />
that intention – even if it is a<br />
supernatural one – influenced<br />
how strongly people would feel<br />
towards the city.”<br />
Supervising Professor Jamin<br />
Halberstadt pointed out this<br />
was the first study to show,<br />
experimentally, that negative<br />
events need not be caused by<br />
other people to create a sense of<br />
attachment to a community.<br />

Call for EQC to go through claims<br />
• By Lucy Bennett<br />
EQC STAFF should manually<br />
go through all 2600 remaining<br />
Canterbury earthquake claims<br />
in a bid to finally settle them,<br />
an independent report has<br />
recommended.<br />
EQC should also hire more<br />
staff to deal with the claims, said<br />
the report released yesterday by<br />
independent adviser Christine<br />
Stevenson.<br />
Ms Stevenson, acting chief executive<br />
of Customs and a former<br />
Corrections deputy chief executive,<br />
was enlisted by Earthquake<br />
Commission Minister Megan<br />
Woods in February to look at<br />
ways the EQC process could be<br />
sped up.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a high personal and<br />
financial toll on a number of<br />
Canterbury residents with open<br />
claims. Some of these claimants<br />
have described the mental<br />
health and stress-related issues<br />
that they and their families are<br />
suffering,” Ms Stevenson said.<br />
Dr Woods said the report revealed<br />
issues with staffing levels,<br />
data quality, record-keeping<br />
and organisational culture and<br />
structure.<br />
“I have asked Dame Annette<br />
King, the interim board chair, to<br />
consider these recommendations<br />
right away and to swiftly<br />
implement appropriate measures,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report recommended a<br />
team of staff should pull out all the<br />
physical files relating to remaining<br />
claims and go through them to<br />
ensure key data was correct.<br />
Other recommendations<br />
included<br />
• Hiring more staff to reduce<br />
the case loads for case managers<br />
so claimants can get more<br />
personal attention.<br />
• Establishing a claimant<br />
reference group made up of<br />
claimants and community representatives<br />
to advise EQC on<br />
how to improve the treatment of<br />
their customers.<br />
• Making claimants’ files<br />
available to them on request<br />
and introducing a standard for<br />
better communication with<br />
claimants.<br />
PROCESS:<br />
Ways to<br />
speed up<br />
the EQC<br />
process have<br />
been looked<br />
at by the<br />
Government.<br />
PHOTO:<br />
GEOFF<br />
SLOAN<br />
• Increasing Government<br />
monitoring.<br />
Broader recommendations included<br />
allowing more flexibility<br />
to make cash settlements above<br />
cap, which would then be recovered<br />
from the private insurers<br />
and scaling up the service which<br />
provides independent help.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Insurance Council said it<br />
supported EQC reviewing.<br />
“We strongly support recommendations<br />
for EQC to review<br />
and confirm claims data and to<br />
make this data more transparent<br />
as this has been a source of concern<br />
for a long time,” Insurance<br />
Council chief executive Tim<br />
Grafton said.<br />
He said there were “significant<br />
challenges” to allowing settlements<br />
above the cap. Private insurers<br />
had received 945 over-cap<br />
claims from EQC in the last year<br />
and 1864 in the last two years.<br />
Christchurch insurance advocate<br />
and claims preparer Dean<br />
Lester said claims were being<br />
prevented from settling because<br />
of the siloed way of working.<br />
“This is a simple solution,<br />
combined with expanding the<br />
number of people who have<br />
authority to settle claims.”<br />
Budget <strong>2018</strong> provided $8 million<br />
to establish an independent<br />
insurance tribunal to resolve<br />
outstanding EQC and insurance<br />
claims and $3.3 million for a<br />
public inquiry to probe the performance<br />
of EQC.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inquiry will inform legislative<br />
changes to the Earthquake<br />
Commission Act 1993 and to<br />
EQC, and a planned review of<br />
insurance contract law.<br />
– NZ Herald<br />
ACT NOW<br />
If you are insured with State, NZI or any<br />
IAG policy, you have until 30 <strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
before they can use the Limitation Act to<br />
decline your earthquake claim.<br />

Toilet paper thief nabbed<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
IF YOU’VE been caught short<br />
in Rolleston here’s the reason<br />
why.<br />
A man in his 60s has been<br />
stealing the toilet paper.<br />
But don’t stress, relief is in<br />
hand – the police have caught<br />
him.<br />

Number of young<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE NUMBER of students<br />
cycling to school is dwindling –<br />
with social pressures and a lack<br />
of infrastructure to blame.<br />
That is the finding of Avanzar<br />
planner Jillian Frater, who<br />
investigated the numbers<br />
of Christchurch students<br />
cycling to school by<br />
gender and socioeconomic<br />
group.<br />
Dr Frater’s research<br />
revealed 29 per cent of<br />
male school students<br />
cycle to school, while<br />
only three per cent of<br />
females cycle.<br />
“Currently some groups of<br />
people cycle much less than<br />
others. That includes females,<br />
FAST FACTS<br />
•29 per cent of male<br />
students bike to school<br />
•While only three per<br />
cent of female students<br />
cycle<br />
•About 30 per cent of<br />
upper decile students<br />
bike to school<br />
•About five per cent<br />
from lower decile<br />
schools cycle<br />
Jillian Frater<br />
those from low socio-economic<br />
areas and older adolescents,” she<br />
said.<br />
Dr Frater said social pressures<br />
were the greatest influence over<br />
whether or not young people<br />
cycled.<br />
“Students’ attitude to cycling<br />
comes from what’s the<br />
‘norm’ with others their<br />
age and unfortunately<br />
for most, biking isn’t<br />
normal.”<br />
Girls were even more<br />
likely<br />
to be influenced by their<br />
friends – hence the lower<br />
figure, she said.<br />
“Females also miss<br />
out because there is a lot less<br />
of them cycling in areas which<br />
are not particularly friendly to<br />
cyclists.”<br />
Dr Frater said to boost the<br />
number of student cyclists in<br />
Christchurch would be about<br />
making cycling the “norm” and<br />
ensuring the infrastructure was<br />
there to support it.<br />
“We have a system that is<br />
dominated by cars, so that<br />
has become the norm . . . and<br />
especially for older students,<br />
cycling isn’t a normal thing to<br />
do,” she said.<br />

cyclists dwindling in city<br />
Dr Frater said it had been<br />
steadily decreasing since cars<br />
became popularised.<br />
But she said the number of<br />
students cycling is still a lot<br />
higher than adults who bike to<br />
work.<br />
“My key point is that<br />
Christchurch is designed for car<br />
use, and those who can’t or don’t<br />
drive are disadvantaged,” she<br />
said.<br />
She said the major cycleway<br />
network would be a key way<br />
for the city council to drive<br />
the number of cyclists up and<br />
address an equality issue.<br />
In its Long Term Plan, it<br />
is proposed to put cycleway<br />
construction on hold.<br />
“Development of the major<br />
cycleways in Christchurch will<br />
encourage more people to cycle<br />
and will assist us to achieve<br />
greater social equity,” Dr Frater<br />
said.<br />
She said in areas such as<br />
those in Scandinavia where the<br />
percentage of people cycling is<br />
high, there is a lot less disparity<br />
between different socioeconomic<br />
groups and genders<br />
who bike.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> cycleways would start<br />
a flow-on effect, especially for<br />
Percentage of children who cycled<br />
to school<br />
adolescences, and hopefully<br />
more of them will do it,” she<br />
said.<br />
Though when the routes are<br />
complete, it will have been a “hell<br />
of a long time coming,” Dr Frater<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council wanted<br />
to boost the number of<br />
cyclists in the late nearly 40 years<br />
ago.<br />
“I found a copy of Cycling in<br />
Christchurch, produced by the<br />
city council traffic and<br />
transport division in 1979 . . .<br />
it said the ball is now rolling if<br />
the city is ever to have a fully<br />
integrated cycling network,<br />
the emphasis must be<br />
maintained. <strong>The</strong>re is no point in<br />
waiting, we need to get ahead of<br />
demand and act now.”<br />
Henry Harrison bikes to<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School from home in the<br />
central city every day, rain<br />
or shine.<br />
On top of his daily 7km<br />
round trip to school and<br />
back, during rowing season<br />
the 16-year-old cycles<br />
another 11km to Kerr’s<br />
Reach six times a week.<br />
He said biking is normal<br />
for his group of friends,<br />
who don’t want to rely on<br />
their parents to drive them.<br />
“Most of my friends bike<br />
and generally at school its<br />
quite a few . . . but some<br />
people live too far away,<br />
board, walk or get dropped<br />
off,” he said.<br />
Henry said the school’s<br />
bike racks are never full<br />
and as students get older,<br />
the less they cycle.<br />
He said more students<br />
might bike if they cycleways<br />
were finished and it was<br />
safer on the roads.<br />
“It would be good if the<br />
roads were made a bit safer<br />
for cyclists. I know there<br />
are some cycleways around<br />
Normans Rd that are really<br />
narrow and there is only<br />
a small gap between cars<br />
and bikes.”<br />
But Henry said once he<br />
got his licence, he would<br />
probably use a car most of<br />
the time.<br />
“It’s easier in Christchurch<br />
. . . but you can’t predict the<br />
future.”<br />

Steady progress on monumental<br />
One of the largest<br />
heritage restoration<br />
projects in the<br />
Southern Hemisphere<br />
is over its half way<br />
mark, but there’s<br />
more work to be done<br />
at the Arts Centre yet.<br />
Bridget Rutherford<br />
reports<br />
EVERY MORNING, a black<br />
labrador used to wander down<br />
to the former Le Cafe in the Arts<br />
Centre for breakfast.<br />
After enjoying leftovers provided<br />
by the cafe staff, Satchmo<br />
would wander back to his Armagh<br />
St home.<br />
For months his owners did<br />
not know where he went. But<br />
he would always return, so they<br />
didn’t worry.<br />
That’s one of Arts Centre<br />
acting chief executive Jane<br />
Parfitt’s fond memories of the<br />
historic complex she is now<br />
helping to restore to its former<br />
glory.<br />
To this day, she still doesn’t<br />
know how her cheeky pet,<br />
named after Louis Armstrong,<br />
knew how to get to the Arts<br />
Centre, or why he started going.<br />
Come February 22, 2011,<br />
Ms Parfitt, who was a senior<br />
manager at the city council and<br />
the Civil Defence controller, took<br />
an early lunch break and headed<br />
to the Arts Centre’s Backstage to<br />
get a ham and cheese baguette.<br />
When she went back to eat<br />
her lunch in the Civic Offices,<br />
“all hell broke loose” when<br />
the devastating magnitude 6.3<br />
earthquake hit at 12.51pm.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Arts Centre was the last<br />
place I saw intact. It brings tears<br />
to my eyes, it’s funny to come<br />
back here.”<br />
Seven years later, Ms Parfitt<br />
has stepped in temporarily<br />
to help the project move<br />
from a restoration phase, to a<br />
repopulating and revitalisation<br />
one.<br />
IMPRESSIVE: Acting chief executive Jane Parfitt says the Great Hall was a reminder of why<br />
the Arts Centre’s restoration was so important.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Her office, with its high<br />
ceilings and restored stained<br />
glass window sits on the top floor<br />
of the clock tower building.<br />
She says it’s one of her<br />
favourite restored spaces. But<br />
there are many to choose from.<br />
Eleven of the 23 buildings,<br />
most of which are Gothic<br />
Revival style, have been restored<br />
and reopened as part of the<br />
monumental 10-year $290<br />
million restoration programme.<br />
<strong>The</strong> largest of its kind in the<br />
world, the programme has<br />
passed the half-way mark.<br />
<strong>The</strong> remaining work is<br />
expected to cost about $90<br />
million, so the charitable trust<br />
that governs the centre needs<br />
to raise about $35 million to<br />
complete it.<br />
It hopes to finish restoring the<br />
country’s largest collection of<br />
category one heritage buildings<br />

But unlike many other<br />
projects the trust, which relies<br />
on fundraising, grants and<br />
partnerships, has quietly gone<br />
about its work.<br />
Ms Parfitt, who has taken over<br />
temporarily from former chief<br />
executive Andre Lovatt, said<br />
they simply got on with it.<br />
“I think it’s been an anchor<br />
project all but in name. We’re<br />
very grateful for the contributions<br />
from the city,” she said.<br />
“It’s through leadership at a<br />
governance level and putting the<br />
right chief executive [Mr Lovatt]<br />
in for the time, and good planning<br />
in terms of cost.”<br />
After the September 2010<br />
earthquake the trust worked<br />
quickly to renegotiate the buildings’<br />
insurance cover. It was just<br />
as well.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y received severe damage<br />
in the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake. <strong>The</strong> trust went for<br />
an early cash settlement and received<br />
a $156 million insurance<br />
pay out.<br />
“That laid the foundation and<br />
gave them the funding to plan<br />
the restoration,” Ms Parfitt said.<br />
Dating back to 1877, the<br />
buildings housed Canterbury<br />
College, now Canterbury University,<br />
and Christchurch Boys’<br />
and Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
Schools.<br />
Christchurch Girls’ moved to<br />
Cranmer Square in 1881, while<br />
Christchurch Boys’ stayed until<br />
1926.<br />
In 1957, the university started<br />
its long move to Ilam, and in<br />
1974 it gifted the buildings to<br />
the people of Christchurch to be<br />
used as an Arts Centre.<br />
But after 40 years, students have<br />
now returned to the complex.<br />

College alumni Lord Ernest<br />
Rutherford, is an educational<br />
space where he once studied.<br />
<strong>The</strong> buildings restored so far<br />
are more accessible now, some<br />
with new lifts, and they have new<br />
central heating systems. Many<br />
are open to the public, and available<br />
for hire.<br />
Before the earthquakes, there<br />
was one stonemason on staff.<br />
Now, there was a team of 16 from<br />
all over the world. A local craftsman<br />
has restored all the broken<br />
stained glass windows.<br />
<strong>The</strong> award-winning Great Hall<br />
was perhaps one of the most<br />
popular restoration projects in<br />
the complex.<br />
More than 10,000 people came<br />
to see it when it reopened in <strong>June</strong><br />
2016.<br />
Many cried as they saw the features,<br />
such as the timber ceiling<br />
and the World War 1 memorial<br />
window.<br />
Ms Parfitt said that was an<br />
example of why it was important<br />
to restore the buildings, because<br />
the city had lost so much.<br />
Amazingly, just one structure<br />
was removed after the quake – an<br />
add-on built over the boys’ high<br />
swimming pool.<br />
“Everything that could be<br />
saved was,” Ms Parfitt said.<br />
“It’s just part of Christchurch.<br />
Everyone has got a memory of<br />
the Arts Centre. It’s an icon.”<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel agrees.<br />
She said when visitors came to<br />
Christchurch, she always directed<br />
them to the Arts Centre.<br />
Graeme Kershaw, who was<br />
restoring the earthquakedamaged<br />
Townsend Teece<br />
Telescope passed away on<br />
May 20, aged 70. His funeral<br />
was held in the Great Hall on<br />
May 25. <strong>The</strong> former Canterbury<br />
University physics and astronomy<br />
department senior technician had<br />
completed the main work on the<br />
telescope, including restoring the<br />
brass tube, optics, finder scope<br />
and clock-drive mechanism.<br />
Canterbury University’s associate<br />
professor Karen Pollard said it<br />
needed to be remounted on its<br />
plinth, and the tracking wheel<br />
mechanism restored. “We are<br />
pleased that his wife Dale, who<br />
was assisting Graeme in his work,<br />
will assist with the remainder of<br />
the restoration.”<br />
It was the “most significant<br />
heritage restoration project the<br />
country has ever seen,” she said.<br />
While the city council does<br />
not own the Arts Centre, it has<br />
contributed financially towards<br />
its restoration.<br />
Ms Dalziel said she loved the<br />
way it had been done.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve revealed it building<br />
by building. <strong>The</strong>y’ve done an<br />
amazing job, they’ve kept the city<br />
totally engaged with the project.”<br />
FAREWELL: Graeme Kershaw passed away recently<br />
before finishing the restoration of the Townsend<br />
Teece Telescope.<br />
Ms Dalziel holds memories of<br />
the centre on a personal level.<br />
She married husband Rob<br />
Davidson under the tree in the<br />
South Quad. <strong>The</strong>ir reception was<br />
held in the Great Hall, so it was<br />
“wonderful” to go back when it<br />
reopened, she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y even went on their first<br />
date at Annie’s Wine Bar and<br />
Restaurant, which was based in<br />
the School of Art building for 19<br />
years.<br />

That building is due to reopen<br />
later this year, housing a new<br />
restaurant where Annie’s was,<br />
a creative co-working hub,<br />
community event spaces and<br />
venues.<br />
A hospitality tenant is being<br />
sought to operate the restaurant,<br />
which looks out over South<br />
Quad.<br />
<strong>The</strong> large crane that had<br />
been helping with the internal<br />
demolition work and strengthening<br />
since 2016 came down last<br />
month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> neighbouring West<br />
Lecture will also open later this<br />
year – a milestone that will see<br />
the whole western end of the<br />
complex operating again.<br />
West Lecture will have a boutique<br />
cinema, with four artists in<br />
residence apartments upstairs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next big project is the<br />
observatory, biology and physics<br />
building.<br />
It will have studio spaces,<br />
workshops and boutique accommodation.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will be built<br />
around the functioning observatory,<br />
with the repaired Townsend<br />
Teece Telescope.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust needs to raise an<br />
additional $10-$12 million to<br />
complete the work. It will launch<br />
a campaign to do so in the coming<br />
months.<br />
Meanwhile, the Engineering<br />
and Student Union building will<br />
be repaired further down the<br />
track.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre’s former<br />
chief executive Philip Aldridge<br />
will take over from Ms Parfitt<br />
next month. She said her role<br />
was similar to a transitioning<br />
phase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> challenge for the future<br />
would be populating the space<br />
with creative entrepreneurs and<br />
visitors, and making it commercially<br />
viable, she said.<br />
It is already happening. <strong>The</strong><br />
summer outdoor cinema series<br />
attracted hundreds and monthly<br />
lunchtime concerts in the Great<br />
Hall are proving popular.<br />
Matariki events, including<br />
night markets, will be held this<br />
month and next, and August’s<br />
Botanic D’Lights will be extended<br />
to include the Arts Centre<br />
this year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of people coming<br />
back here, but we need more. We<br />
want to get the locals coming<br />
back here. We want to get visitors<br />
here and just enjoying what there<br />
is,” Ms Parfitt said.<br />
It was important people wanted<br />
to come back, just like Satchmo.<br />

Pokie machines – suburb by suburb<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
AVONHEAD, Sockburn and<br />
Upper Riccarton had the highest<br />
spend on gaming machines in<br />
the city for the first three months<br />
of the year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> suburbs, which are clustered<br />
together in the Ministry of<br />
Internal Affairs’ latest statistics<br />
from January to March, have 72<br />
non-casino gaming machines in<br />
four venues.<br />
<strong>The</strong> total gaming machine<br />
proceeds for the three months<br />
was $1.56 million.<br />
<strong>The</strong> venues included Avonhead<br />
Tavern, Bush Inn Tavern, Racecourse<br />
Hotel and Monteith’s on<br />
Merrin St.<br />
Although the clustered area<br />
had the highest spend, it did<br />
not have the highest number of<br />
machines.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most pokies were in the<br />
area of North New Brighton,<br />
Parklands, Waimairi Beach and<br />
New Brighton, with 117 at seven<br />
venues.<br />
Gaming machine proceeds for<br />
that cluster was $1.44 million at<br />
Chats Bar and Cafe, Endeavour<br />
Tavern, New Brighton Working<br />
Men’s Club, <strong>The</strong> Wave, <strong>The</strong> Turf,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bower and Queenspark Ale<br />
House.<br />
Harewood, Merivale, Redwood,<br />
Belfast and Kainga also<br />
had 117 machines at Coasters<br />
Tavern, Highway Inn, Papanui<br />
Club, Redwood Hotel, Waimakariri<br />
Tavern, <strong>The</strong> Peg, Belfast’s<br />
Robbie’s Bar and Bistro and <strong>The</strong><br />
Elmwood. <strong>The</strong> spend was $1.5<br />
million.<br />
Christchurch Central, Linwood<br />
and Phillipstown saw a<br />
spent of $1.39 million at the 87<br />
machines, while Bishopdale’s 54<br />
machines saw proceeds of $1.36<br />
million.<br />
<strong>The</strong> figures come as a new<br />

Hospital parking area goldmine<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
NEARLY $86,000 in parking<br />
infringements have been issued<br />
over the past six months on<br />
the three avenues surrounding<br />
Christchurch Hospital.<br />
It comes as a chronic parking<br />
shortage plagues people getting<br />
to the hospital, with ongoing<br />
discussions happening behind<br />
the scenes to alleviate the problem.<br />
Figures released to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
show between November 1 and<br />
last month there were 940 city<br />
council infringement notices<br />
issued on Riccarton, Rolleston<br />
and Hagley Aves.<br />
On Riccarton Ave, 351 were issued<br />
which amounted to $35,530<br />
in revenue.<br />
Rolleston Ave had the most<br />
issued, with 518, adding up to<br />
$40,788.<br />
On nearby Hagley Ave, there<br />
were 71, amounting to $9490.<br />
An infringement notice<br />
includes parking fines as well<br />
as safety offences such as parking<br />
on broken yellow lines, an<br />
expired warrant of fitness and<br />
vehicle licence.<br />
Parking around the hospital<br />
has long been a source of contention.<br />

alleviate the problem, but a lack<br />
of shelter there has proved problematic<br />
in bad weather.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s campaign to improve<br />
the situation prompted<br />
MPs, the city council and Canterbury<br />
District Health Board to<br />
look at alternate parking options<br />
and improve the condition of the<br />
Deans Ave car park.<br />
Last month it was announced<br />
more than 200 parks would be<br />
available for hospital staff on the<br />
Metro Sports Facility site.<br />
But the CDHB said yesterday<br />
there was no update on alternate<br />
parking options or more shelter<br />
at Deans Ave.<br />
City council transport operations<br />
manager Steffan Thomas<br />
said parking wardens monitored<br />
the P120 time restrictions to ensure<br />
parking turnover so spaces<br />
were available for those who<br />
needed them.<br />
“Council is having ongoing<br />
discussions with the key partner<br />
organisations regarding the provision<br />
of parking for and around<br />
the hospital.”<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said the three avenues formed<br />
part of a normal foot patrol beat,<br />
which was covered at least twice<br />
a day.<br />
She said mobile beats were<br />
“complaint reactive.”<br />
“Generally each beat is covered<br />
by one officer, however, two<br />
officers covering a beat is not<br />
uncommon in areas where there<br />
is a high demand for parking.”<br />
Infringement notices issued<br />
on Riccarton Ave included the<br />
Horticultural Centre and Hagley<br />
Oval car parks, which were P180.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were used for sporting<br />
events and access to Hagley<br />
Park, but during most days those<br />
car parks were utilised by people<br />
heading to the hospital, the<br />
spokeswoman said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ministry of Health is<br />
responsible for building a multistorey<br />
permanent car parking<br />
building on a yet to be decided<br />
site by 2020.<br />

into social media<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has spent $30,294<br />
on its Facebook and Instagram<br />
accounts in the past year. While<br />
it could not release a break<br />
down of the costs, a city council<br />
spokeswoman said decisions on<br />
spending were based on public<br />
interest and value for ratepayers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spokeswoman said the<br />
accounts were beneficial to connect<br />
with residents, and<br />
in emergencies for rolling updates.<br />
ECan staff look for<br />

Environment Canterbury<br />

how to reduce smoke. Under the<br />
Canterbury air regional plan, no<br />
smoke should be visible from a<br />

more than 5min when refuelling.<br />

Have you been fooled?<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
MOTORISTS MAY have been<br />
fooled into thinking red light<br />
cameras have been used in<br />
Christchurch for the last 20 years<br />
as old warning signage remains<br />
in place.<br />
But city council manager<br />
operations transport Steffan<br />
Thomas said the old warning<br />
signs have been kept, even<br />
though re-installing the cameras<br />
was ruled out.<br />
It comes as <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> revealed<br />
a new mobile camera would be<br />
used in the city, it’s first stop at<br />
the Bealey Ave and Madras St<br />
intersection.<br />
It will then move around<br />
the city’s “high risk”<br />
intersections, city council<br />
acting head of transport Mark<br />
Pinner said.<br />
Mr Thomas said there were<br />
seven existing red light warning<br />
signs around the city.<br />
He said the city council and<br />
police had never discounted<br />
“restarting enforcement” at the<br />
locations.<br />
“That continues to be the<br />
case.”<br />
When <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> asked what the<br />
seven locations of old signage<br />
were, Mr Thomas did not specify.<br />
ALERT: A red light camera<br />
sign remains at the<br />
intersection of Bealey Ave<br />
and Colombo St.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y are located around the<br />
various intersections where red<br />
light-running cameras operated<br />
previously,” he said.<br />
New signage will be installed<br />
at the Bealey Ave and Madras St<br />
intersection once the camera is<br />
working, Mr Pinner said.<br />
However, it will only become<br />
operational when the city council<br />
and police agree on a way to<br />
enforce the tickets.<br />

Salmon return to Heathcote<br />
• By Stacey Bryan<br />
SALMON ARE returning to the<br />
Heathcote River after years of<br />
work to improve water quality.<br />
<strong>The</strong> discovery was made during<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mother Of All Clean Ups,<br />
an annual event that attracts<br />
hundreds of volunteers to remove<br />
rubbish from the city’s rivers.<br />
Environment Canterbury’s<br />
pollution prevention adviser Nick<br />
Moody said the chinook salmon<br />
appeared to have spawned up<br />
stream and then died, which is<br />
the natural cycle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ōpāwaho Heathcote River<br />
Network, city council and ECan<br />
are two years into a five-year<br />
project that aims to improve the<br />
water quality of the river.<br />
Mr Moody said it was<br />
encouraging to see the fish<br />
were choosing to breed in the<br />
Heathcote, even in the middle of<br />
the city.<br />
“If the eggs survive . . . then the<br />
next generation of salmon could<br />
return from the ocean to breed<br />
again in a few years.”<br />
Salmon need clean riverbeds to<br />
breed successfully, so preventing<br />
erosion on construction sites over<br />
winter is essential.<br />
Mr Moody said heavy metals<br />
were also a concern. About two<br />
tonnes of copper enter Christchurch’s<br />
waterways every year from<br />
NATURAL CYCLE: ECan’s<br />
Nick Moody found a salmon<br />
redd (nest) in the upper<br />
Heathcote River.<br />
car brake pads and this is toxic in<br />
very small amounts.<br />
When a vehicle’s brakes are<br />
activated, a small amount is<br />
shaved off the pads and this is<br />
eventually washed into the rivers<br />
via drains.<br />

Maori reserve<br />
gift idea debate<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
GIFTING A former Maori<br />
burial ground to local runanga<br />
is an ill-considered act of<br />
privatisation, says the Purau<br />
Residents Association.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been ongoing discussions<br />
about returning ownership<br />
and management of Purau Maori<br />
Reserve over the past century and<br />
in December last year the local<br />
hapu Ngati Wheke asked the city<br />
council to explore the option.<br />
A city council report supporting<br />
the transfer was tabled at a Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
meeting last week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> report gave two options, one<br />
of which would reclassify the land<br />
from recreation reserve to historic<br />
reserve. <strong>The</strong> second and preferred<br />
option was initiating a process to<br />
revoke the reserve status, enabling<br />
the city council to then consider<br />
“returning the land to Te Hapu o<br />
Ngati Wheke.”<br />
But association spokesman<br />
Thomas Kulpe questioned whether<br />
gifting the land was the right step.<br />
While it was understandable the<br />
runanga would seek ownership, he<br />
said, it was only because the city<br />
council had “done nothing” to recognise<br />
and protect the area from<br />
inappropriate use.<br />
Quake battle to street fight<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
AFTER A six-year battle with<br />
his insurance company over<br />
earthquake repairs, Mark<br />
Wilson is getting ready for<br />
another fight.<br />
This time over city council<br />
plans to add extra lanes on Barbadoes,<br />
Forfar and Madras Sts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> south-bound lanes are<br />
part of a wider $17 million city<br />
council plan to negate the impact<br />
of the extra 30 per cent of traffic<br />
from the Northern Corridor on<br />
Cranford St.<br />
But the Warrington St resident<br />
said the “ill-conceived project”<br />
will simply encourage an “unprecedented”<br />
number of vehicles<br />
to divert down Berwick and<br />
Warrington Sts.<br />
“We’ve got concerns about the<br />
amount of traffic, the number<br />
of traffic lights, the lack of<br />
detail around the plans for the<br />
third lanes, the loss of on-street<br />
parking that could severely compromise<br />
businesses, pollution,<br />
vibration, noise, I could go on.”<br />
It comes after a six-year battle<br />
for Mr Wilson that started when<br />
the February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
“buggered” the foundations<br />
of his home.<br />
“I was told the foundations<br />
didn’t need to be replaced. I<br />
fought EQC to go over cap,<br />
then I fought the insurance company<br />
to give us decent<br />
compensation.”<br />
He said a file was even lodged<br />
in court, but before a hearing<br />
date could be set he, and the<br />
insurance company, came to an<br />
agreement.<br />
“It’s was an expensive process,<br />
not only through lawyers’ fees,<br />
but also just in terms of time,”<br />
Mr Wilson said.<br />
During the saga, his was<br />
demolished and the rebuild<br />
isn’t quite finished – there is<br />
still landscaping and a deck to<br />
complete.<br />
“But I’m just not sure what to<br />
do at this point. It’s all tainted<br />
by what’s going on. How much<br />
money should I put into this if<br />
the traffic ramps up. Do you just<br />
cut your losses?”<br />
However, he and a group of<br />
about 30 other residents are not<br />
going to back down. <strong>The</strong>re are a<br />
lot of elderly people and renters<br />
in the area he said also need<br />
representation.<br />

Mountain<br />
bike tracks<br />
to stay or go?<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
AN UPDATED development<br />
plan for Lyttelton’s Urumau<br />
Reserve has been rejected for<br />
the second time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sticking point is whether<br />
some mountain bike tracks in<br />
the reserve should be removed<br />
or retained.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board first considered<br />
the plan in April but sought<br />
clarification on the legality and<br />
compliance of tracks within the<br />
reserve.<br />
A new report presented to the<br />
board said the tracks complied<br />
with design guidelines and<br />
standards, caused no increased<br />
sedimentation run-off, and<br />
avoided native planting sites as<br />
much as possible.<br />
But the board again backed<br />
away from adopting the plan<br />
and has asked the committee<br />
to meet with an independent<br />
facilitator to decide whether to<br />
close any tracks before the plan<br />
is adopted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tracks can only be removed<br />
by the board as part of<br />
the development plan process<br />
and before final adoption.<br />

I WAS sitting fully clothed<br />
in the shower, water seeping<br />
through the butt of my trackies<br />
when it happened.<br />
No not a mid-life incontinence<br />
problem, but good to know I<br />
have that to look forward to.<br />
I was doing battle once again<br />
against the patches of black<br />
mold in the shower, years in the<br />
making from previous tenants.<br />
And it was – as it was prone<br />
to do – giving me all sorts of attitude<br />
back.<br />
“Ah”, it winked at me, “I see<br />
you are trying once again with<br />
some heavy duty chemical to be<br />
rid of me. But no, I’m sticking<br />
around like the regrets of that<br />
terrible ex-boyfriend from your<br />
20s.”<br />
That was the moment.<br />
I was sick of wearing a woollen<br />
hat to bed in winter, sick of the<br />
cold eating through four layers<br />
of clothing.<br />
I had once been one of those<br />
very smug people. You may<br />

Show.<br />
recognise the description.<br />
While my friends twisted<br />
their hands in anxiety over their<br />
mortgage, I sat in my chair smug<br />
that not I, no never, would get a<br />
mortgage. I was a renter for life.<br />
No strings attached, thanks all<br />
the same.<br />
But that mould broke me. So,<br />
I held out my hands and allowed<br />
the chains to be applied and<br />
bought a house. And felt more<br />
freer than I ever had.<br />
I still have a lot of work to do<br />
on my circa 1910s villa. Now<br />
don’t make that face, it has five<br />
bedrooms, two of which<br />
are attic studies where my<br />
books and I happily spend<br />
our weekends.<br />
And with myself as the<br />
purchaser, it was all I could<br />
afford.<br />
I get on the ladder, and<br />
knees knocking, patch-up<br />
my roof with some magic<br />
tape tar stuff I bought from<br />
Mitre 10.<br />
I installed a Shower<br />
Dome at Easter (actually<br />
that’s a lie. I watched my Pa<br />
install it, but I did give him<br />
our best imported French<br />
fig jam with the hot-cross<br />
buns).<br />
I am now at the stage<br />
where I know what I want,<br />
sort of, but get quite frightened<br />
by the choice online.<br />
I bookmark pages, save<br />
pins but can never remember<br />
where and what it was. I<br />
just want to take my house<br />
photos to someone and get<br />
it all addressed in one place.<br />
So join me, dear readers, as I<br />
travel around the Home Show<br />
folk and see if they can help me<br />
out.<br />
<strong>The</strong> show has been helping<br />
out homeowners for 20 years –<br />
surely it can help me? Please.<br />

Stadium debate: Who should pay?<br />
<strong>Star</strong> Media<br />
chairman<br />
Nick<br />
Smith is a<br />
ratepayer<br />
in both<br />
Christchurch<br />
and Dunedin. He<br />
gives his views on the<br />
city’s stadium debate,<br />
its cost, who stands<br />
to benefit most, and<br />
who should pay for it<br />
Roof or no roof?<br />
<strong>The</strong> trailblazing Dunedin<br />
stadium has been fantastic and<br />
has received much international<br />
acclaim and envy. However, the<br />
minority, but vocal, anti-stadium<br />
citizens are still voicing their<br />
opposition at the ongoing cost to<br />
the ratepayer after eight years.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y do not understand the<br />
benefit it brings to the city in<br />
exposure, visitors and vibrancy.<br />
This is a fantastic asset and<br />
returns more to business and<br />
people in Dunedin than megamillion<br />
dollar cycleways, libraries,<br />
parks and gardens.<br />
Most citizens appreciate the<br />
need for civic amenities and<br />
parks, paid by rate collection, as<br />
they enhance citizens’ lifestyles<br />
UPSET: <strong>The</strong> Springboks ran hot at Lancaster Park in July<br />
1965 beating the All Blacks 19-16. <strong>The</strong>re was no roof, it was<br />
cold but there was still a huge crowd.<br />
CONCEPT: Is a new roofed-stadium in Christchurch affordable?<br />
and well-being. But does a<br />
roofed-stadium come into this<br />
category?<br />
When the Dunedin stadium<br />
was mooted, we had no huge<br />
social or infrastructure problems<br />
that unfortunately Christchurch<br />
received in 2011, and still has<br />
after seven years.<br />
Unfixed homes, portaloos,<br />
roading construction and confusion,<br />
a cycleway disaster, town<br />
hall, library blowout, Victoria<br />
Square, swimming pools, Convention<br />
Centre, sports hub – just<br />
to mention a few.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cost blowouts, delays<br />
and uncertainty of governance<br />
has created a huge burden for<br />
ratepayers that will continue for<br />
years at a far higher rate than<br />
inflation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Government cash input<br />
has been huge and more is<br />
needed and this always helps<br />
when votes are at stake.<br />
Government money should be<br />
spent on the necessary items that<br />
the city needs, not a roof on a<br />
building that at best will benefit<br />
rugby, overseas promoters, hotels,<br />
bars and restaurants, taxis<br />
and others. <strong>The</strong> users get much;<br />
ratepayers zilch.<br />
A roofed-stadium will need<br />
Government support. Dunedin<br />
received a grant of seven<br />
per cent of the total construction<br />
cost of $15 million. If even 10 per<br />
cent was a benchmark of Government<br />
funding for Christchurch,<br />
and set in stone also for<br />
the Auckland proposal, the vocal<br />
local supporters would need to<br />
be a major part of securing the<br />
funding.<br />
This would also signal to other<br />
cities like New Plymouth, Napier<br />
Whangarei and Invercargill,<br />
which will also want a roofed<br />
stadium, that taxpayers’ cash is<br />
needed for health, education etc,<br />
not fanciful places for predominantly<br />
rugby.<br />
So let’s apply this to Christchurch<br />
– build $600 million, Government<br />
$60 million, ratepayer<br />
$540 million less naming rights,<br />
sponsorships, trust funding etc.<br />
Is this affordable?<br />
Rugby options<br />
NZRFU, Crusaders, Canterbury<br />
– understandably strong in<br />
support, but what is their contribution<br />
to be?<br />
Bear in mind who changed<br />
the game times from afternoon<br />
to night so the broadcast rights<br />
would be greater.<br />
Did the 53,000 fans at Lancaster<br />
Park in 1965 when South<br />
Africa beat the All Blacks 19-16<br />
complain about the cold?<br />
Will the NZRFU give contractual<br />
undertaking of the number<br />
of tests they will give, or will they<br />
just ask for the best price from<br />
both Christchurch and Dunedin<br />
councils to stage the test?<br />
Each city will be desperate for<br />
the event and will compete with<br />
each other, but the winning city<br />
will have to stump up ratepayers’<br />
money for the benefit of the<br />
NZRFU, the false and misleading<br />
economic benefit public relations<br />
will be rolled out as justification.<br />
Rugby should hire the venue<br />
for tests, not be given substantial<br />
ratepayers’ funds for the privilege.<br />
Another way to get ratepayers<br />
support would be to reach<br />
agreement with the NZRFU on a<br />
fixed cash hire contract price per<br />
test, inflation-adjusted annually<br />
or a percentage of ticket sales, say<br />
25 per cent of receipts?<br />
<strong>The</strong> outcome could be for<br />
30,000 spectators at a match<br />
with an average ticket price $150<br />
equalling $4.5 million. Stadium<br />
at 25 per cent nets $1.25 million<br />
plus a percentage of food and<br />
beverage sold at the venue.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders and Canterbury<br />
will need a contract for matches,<br />
that, too, must be on a formula of<br />
user-pays and annual review of<br />
service costs for example power,<br />
health and safety and staffing<br />
costs.<br />
Concerts<br />
<strong>The</strong>se roofed stadiums are a<br />
great attraction for event promoters;<br />
no huge weather insurance<br />
needed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se promoters are skilled<br />
negotiators and will play the<br />
Christchurch and Dunedin<br />
councils against each other to<br />
screw the best deal, and this will<br />
open the council cheque book.<br />
<strong>The</strong> council that wins will<br />
gush out the economic benefits<br />
without saying how the ratepayer<br />
benefits. <strong>The</strong> many city suppliers<br />
of services who get the extra dollars<br />
spent will receive this at little<br />
extra cost but, better still, have<br />
no downside other than perhaps<br />
some casual staff costs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Opinion<br />
Rebuild Horncastle to seat 15,000<br />
•From page 21<br />
Example<br />
<strong>The</strong> rock band sensation of<br />
2225, Donnie and <strong>The</strong> Trumpers,<br />
is doing a two-night stand in<br />
Auckland and wants a further<br />
two-night concert in the South<br />
Island.<br />
<strong>The</strong> band has 200 support crew<br />
and acts. <strong>The</strong>se people construct<br />
and dissemble the stage etc, so<br />
there is minimal local input.<br />
Here is a scenario<br />
Two years earlier, Michael Coppin<br />
called the Christchurch City<br />
Council saying we want to play<br />
two concerts in the South Island.<br />
“What’s your offer to secure the<br />
contract . . . we expect 40,000<br />
people at each concert.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> mayor is consulted and<br />
several days later the CCC puts a<br />
$1 million up-front offer on the<br />
table.<br />
Mr Coppin had called Dunedin<br />
with the same request.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y too consulted, and<br />
after listening to the Ed Sheeran<br />
self-serving Dunedin City<br />
Council public relations<br />
economic benefit propaganda,<br />
decided to they should offer $1.5<br />
million.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bidding war started<br />
and ended several weeks later;<br />
Christchurch had secured the<br />
deal for a final price of $4.25 million,<br />
paid 18 months in advance!<br />
Scary.<br />
So ratepayers are now in<br />
hock for $4.25 million. Mr<br />
Coppin sells 80,000 tickets at<br />
an average price of $275 giving<br />
him $22 million to pay Donnie<br />
and the Trumpers, the hotel,<br />
transport and staff. Plus he’s had<br />
our $4.5 million in his pocket for<br />
18 months.<br />
Perhaps a better deal for us in<br />
New Brighton, Merivale or Avonhead<br />
would be no up-front fee<br />
and say 10 per cent of ticket<br />
sales.<br />
Mr Coppin will still have $17.8<br />
million less tax to play with and<br />
the stadium gets $2.2 million.<br />
Why should they pay if you give<br />
it away?<br />
CONCERTS: Christchurch’s Horncastle Arena and Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium have been in a bidding war for events.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision-makers<br />
We ratepayers elect our council<br />
representatives to govern the city<br />
efficiently. <strong>The</strong>y have hundreds<br />
of staff who carry out the day-today<br />
functions.<br />
Unfortunately, many costly decisions<br />
are made to the ratepayers’<br />
detriment, often ill thought<br />
out with input from outside<br />
consultants who get high fees and<br />
have no risk.<br />
Our bureaucrats often find<br />
ways to justify spending our<br />
money. <strong>The</strong> economic benefit or<br />
economic multiplier statements<br />
are rolled out to soften opposition<br />
to any spending.<br />
Think cycleways and the<br />
statement: “Build them and<br />
they will come.” <strong>The</strong>se phantom<br />
riders are hardly evident when<br />
you try to navigate your car<br />
around the concrete barriers<br />
looking for now nonexistent<br />
parks in places like Rutland<br />
and St Asaph Sts.<br />
You can bet the CCC economic<br />
development section will be<br />
preparing analysis to support the<br />
roofed stadium. <strong>The</strong>y will then<br />
get the communication unit to<br />
create massive PR to hoodwink<br />
the ratepayers of the so-called<br />
benefits and millions of dollar<br />
multipliers.<br />
Who benefits from large<br />
events?<br />
Here are two examples (as at<br />
May 29 website price).<br />

<strong>June</strong> 16 and 30, $175, same room<br />
on <strong>June</strong> 23, 228 per cent higher at<br />
$399 – a good revenue increase,<br />
driven by demand.<br />
Is it a coincidence the France<br />
v All Blacks test is on <strong>June</strong> 23 in<br />
Dunedin?<br />
So it is obvious the main benefactors<br />
are transport operators,<br />
hotel and other accommodation<br />
providers, restaurants, bars and<br />
some retailers.<br />
From that list how does the<br />
general ratepayer benefit?<br />
Possibly a few casual<br />
Christchurch resident workers<br />
could be engaged and others<br />
work longer hours but this is a<br />
social benefit not civic.<br />
What is needed is a formula of<br />
local taxes, say for a rugby test,<br />
let’s have a local bed tax for all<br />
accommodation providers, say 10<br />
per cent on top of the room rate<br />
for two nights, which would be<br />
easily recovered with the higher<br />
rates charged due to the demand<br />
the test creates.<br />
An internal airline $10<br />
surcharge on every passenger<br />
arriving on the day prior and the<br />
day of the test.<br />
<strong>The</strong> funds created would go<br />
towards the stadium debt.<br />
<strong>The</strong> same formula would apply<br />
for any concert event at the<br />
stadium.<br />
Any taxes would need the<br />
Government to sanction and be<br />
attractive to them if they agreed<br />
to the 10 per cent maximum cash<br />
contribution to the construction<br />
of any new stadia.<br />
Without a doubt, a covered<br />
station is preferable so long as the<br />
cost is shared by those who stand<br />
to gain the most.<br />
<strong>The</strong> construction cost has<br />
to be a fixed price and any<br />
contingencies should be shared<br />
between the architects and the<br />
main contractor. This will ensure<br />
the planning is robust prior to<br />
final costings being known and<br />
accepted.<br />
Funding<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many longestablished<br />
companies in<br />
Christchurch that could provide<br />
naming rights for the stadium,<br />
stands, corporate boxes etc.<br />
Imagine the Gough<br />
Christchurch Stadium, with<br />
cash contributions from<br />
the many old established<br />
Canterbury businesses to<br />
include law and accountancy<br />
firms, manufacturers, exporters,<br />
retailers, health and retirement<br />
companies, the farming sector,<br />
media, real estate and motorvehicle<br />
sectors and those that<br />
benefit from the rebuild.<br />
Keep it local, make it good and<br />
ensure the main benefactors of<br />
usage pay their share and give<br />
we long-suffering ratepayers<br />
a facility of community pride<br />
without emptying our pockets.<br />
Finally, a left field idea<br />
Leave Dunedin to have<br />
the only covered stadium for<br />
events with 30,000-plus and<br />
immediately rebuild Horncastle<br />
Arena to seat 12,000-15,000, as<br />
this would satisfy the majority<br />
of concerts/events for a fraction<br />
of the price, even allowing<br />
for a new open stadium and<br />
reduce the competition between<br />
Christchurch and Dunedin<br />
bidding for events to the<br />
detriment of ratepayers in both<br />
cities.<br />

Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
Passion for dance<br />
CHRISTCHURCH produces<br />
amazing people and sometimes<br />
we don’t know who they are and<br />
what they are doing to make their<br />
way in the world.<br />
I have met Corey Baker a few<br />
times now, the last time was when<br />
we were celebrating the launch<br />
of <strong>The</strong> First Dance which was<br />
performed in Antarctica with<br />
Royal New Zealand Ballet dancer,<br />
Madeleine Graham.<br />
It is a glorious work designed to<br />
highlight the challenges of climate<br />
change in an extreme environment<br />
that is so connected with its<br />
potential impacts. It can be viewed<br />
online at https://bit.ly/2F30VIt.<br />
He has an amazing story.<br />
Originally from Hornby, Baker<br />
trained as a classical dancer here<br />
and in Sydney before moving to<br />
Switzerland to dance at the Ballet<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre Basel.<br />
Baker relocated to the United<br />
Kingdom in 2008 to join Ballet-<br />
Boyz and has continued to dance<br />
for many acclaimed companies<br />
and choreographers. He started<br />
Corey Baker Dance in 2010 to<br />
create and produce his own work.<br />
Alongside the company, Baker has<br />
also collaborated on many projects<br />
as rehearsal director, choreographer,<br />
teacher, movement director<br />
and mentor.<br />
Friday night will see the world<br />
premiere of Baker’s choreography<br />
for Mozart’s unfinished Requiem<br />
which will be performed by the<br />
Royal New Zealand Ballet at the<br />
Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal.<br />
But the reason why I am writing<br />
about him, is that he is here to<br />
give back to his country, through<br />
a scholarship for another young<br />
dancer so they too can follow their<br />
dream.<br />
<strong>The</strong> purpose of the scholarship<br />
is to support financially and or<br />
geographically challenged dancers<br />
in New Zealand, to enable them to<br />
pursue their love of dance.<br />
Now that’s really special<br />
and a wonderful gift from the<br />
kid who grew up in a state house<br />
in Hornby with a passion for<br />
dance.<br />
According to a new<br />
report, Cantabrians have<br />
become complacent<br />
over being prepared for<br />
another big disaster<br />
Edna Morrison – I don’t<br />
mean to sound smug but yes<br />
we are prepared with plenty of<br />
water, dried foods, dried milk,<br />
tinned stuff, batteries, pet food,<br />
first-aid kit, gas cooker and<br />
barbecue with full gas bottle<br />
and a small amount of cash, car<br />
always at least half-full.<br />
Ann Carey – Is the Government<br />
prepared for another big<br />
quake in Canterbury?<br />
David Simons – No, the<br />
country’s earthquake kitty is<br />
empty so the Government<br />
won’t be financially prepared<br />
as well.<br />
Sharon Couling – Of<br />
course everyone would have<br />
water after it being chlorinated.<br />
John Dunphy – Perhaps<br />
we should get Ken Ring’s expert<br />
advice on this before we all<br />
start panicking too much.<br />
Debbie Gilroy – I hope<br />
not, the one we had in Kaikoura<br />
was big enough – don’t want<br />
another one<br />
Pauline Barker – <strong>The</strong><br />
Alpine Fault has to go yet.<br />
Hugo Kristinsson – <strong>The</strong><br />
urgent issues following the<br />
earthquakes in Canterbury<br />
need addressing before the<br />
delayed disaster strikes.<br />
Police dog Kosmo has<br />
received a lifesaving<br />
blood<br />
transfusion<br />
from a fellow<br />
canine after<br />
being seriously<br />
injured<br />
Barbara King<br />
– Great news. I<br />
hope the whoever who stabbed<br />
him goes up for attempted<br />
murder . . . after all these dogs<br />
are police officers too.<br />
Steph Switalla – Kosmo,<br />
take this unexpected annual<br />
leave to rest up and recover,<br />
tough day on the job. I’m sure<br />
you are in the best care.<br />
Sharlene Rowling –<br />
Phew! All the best for a speedy<br />
recovery Kosmo. Can someone<br />
tell me please if assaulting a<br />
police dog is a charge in itself?<br />
Roni Wright –<br />
What a very sad society<br />
when a copper has to<br />
chose between his life<br />
or his police dog. Both<br />
should be safe out<br />
there.<br />
Kathryn Thompson –<br />
Rest up beautiful Kosmo, hope<br />
you recover quickly and get<br />
spoiled rotten for doing such<br />
an amazing job keeping everyone<br />
safe.<br />

Yoga for<br />

A charity yoga class will be held on<br />
Saturday with all the proceeds going to<br />
the City Mission. KarmaKai and YogaSoc<br />
are putting on the all-levels class on<br />
Saturday at the Exchange Christchurch.<br />
Everyone attending can take either<br />
money, food or home baking, which<br />
can be dropped at the door. Those<br />
donations will then be given to the City<br />
Mission to be given to those in need. <strong>The</strong><br />
class will start at 9am. It will be followed<br />

Mexico ditches plastic straws<br />
with new winter menu<br />
Mexico will launch its new winter menu next week, but<br />
one thing will be missing — plastic straws.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Manchester St restaurant is following in the<br />
footsteps of several other Christchurch eateries by<br />
ditching one use items.<br />
From next week, all Mexico’s straws, used to serve its<br />
vast array of cocktails, will be fully compostable and<br />
made of plant-based materials.<br />
<strong>The</strong> change comes with the launch of the restaurant’s<br />
winter menu on Monday.<br />
Executive chef Peter Jackson said the menu had winter<br />
comfort food in spades, with lots of colour, warm flavours,<br />
spices and just the right amount of chilli.<br />
Butternut pumpkin, beetroot, turmeric, chorizo,<br />
lamb shoulder, local purple kumara and pomegranate<br />
featured, he said.<br />
“We’ve incorporated micro sango, mint, pickled slaw,<br />
goat’s feta, carrots, corn and radish to add freshness and<br />
colour to the dishes.”<br />
It features new vegan options, and old favourites will<br />
also make a comeback.<br />
And for those of you after a deal, every Tuesday, you can<br />
buy a fried chicken taco paired with a frida’s margarita<br />
for $12 from noon. Or, you can swap out the cocktail for a<br />
Mexico soda for $10.<br />
Last Black and<br />
White opens in<br />

<strong>The</strong> city’s eighth and final Black and<br />

city yesterday – and it was celebrated<br />
with free coffee. <strong>The</strong> new Plymouth<br />
Lane shop, which sits on the Cashel St<br />
side of the lane, is a milestone for Black<br />
and White, which was established by<br />
Bink Bowler, in partnership with Luke<br />
Bowler and former All Black Reuben<br />
Thorne in 2015. <strong>The</strong>y opened the first<br />
Victoria St store to give Christchurch a<br />
new coffee company. Since then they<br />
have expanded, opening several more<br />
scattered around the city. At yesterday’s<br />
opening, everyone was allowed one free<br />
coffee to celebrate. <strong>The</strong> next shop to<br />
open will be in Rolleston.<br />

Service<br />
If you were stuck in the city for<br />
Queen’s Birthday, you’ll know the<br />
weather was more miserable than<br />
Prince Philip at the recent royal<br />
wedding.<br />
So what better<br />
way to spend a<br />
cold, rainy Friday<br />
night than at the<br />
pub — Pomeroy’s to<br />
be exact.<br />
Most people<br />
know Pom’s as one<br />
of the best places<br />
in Christchurch for<br />
an after-work pint.<br />
It has 32 craft beer<br />
taps that change<br />
constantly,<br />
enough said.<br />
But I need to let you in on<br />
a secret. Out the back is the<br />
restaurant — Victoria’s Kitchen — and<br />
it’s just as good as the pub.<br />
Our first stop was drinks and with<br />
weather the way it was I couldn’t go<br />
past a glass of the house pinot.<br />
While the fella declared he can’t go<br />
to Pom’s without giving one of the<br />
craft taps a whirl.<br />
Initially he regretted his choice,<br />
Heyday Beer’s Hammer Hand.<br />
But about halfway<br />
through it’d grown<br />
on him.<br />
Drinks — successful.<br />
We forgave our<br />
waiter for having to<br />
bust out a notepad<br />
to jog his memory<br />
for one of the<br />
specials considering<br />
there were five to<br />
memorise.<br />
We ordered goat’s<br />
cheese to start.<br />
It’s one of those foods that you<br />
either love or hate. But since we’re<br />
currently in the throws of a goat’s<br />
cheese obsession, the three generous<br />
portions on the plate paired with a<br />
warm sour dough, peas and slightly<br />
pickled vege was heaven.<br />
After ordering a main, it’s not often<br />
the waiter replies: “Well done, guys.”<br />
It’s also not often you go to a<br />
restaurant and think ordering a two<br />
person 1kg t-bone steak is a<br />
good idea.<br />
On this occasion, I can absolutely<br />
assure you it was and it was an<br />
impressive sight when the<br />
meal arrived.<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest steak I’ve seen in<br />
my life, cooked to medium-rare<br />
perfection was placed in front of<br />
us with (slightly overcooked) roast<br />
carrots, wilted chard, a root vegetable<br />
gratin and a red wine reduction to<br />
make the dish sing.<br />
Though, like I said, our eyes were<br />
bigger than our stomach. We barely<br />
touched the gratin and half of the<br />
vegetables, which seemed like<br />
a waste.<br />
“Do you want to look at the<br />
dessert menu?”<br />
Our reply? “Absolutely not.”<br />
If you do decide to give Pom’s a go,<br />
you’ll never be cold, you’ll always see<br />
something different on the menu<br />
and you’ll never leave with an empty<br />
stomach.<br />

Vegan Expo<br />
to return in<br />
bigger premises<br />
Last year’s Vegan Expo proved so<br />
popular it has been announced it is<br />
coming back in a larger venue. <strong>The</strong><br />
expo, to be held later this year will be<br />
held at Horncastle Arena, with more<br />
stalls, food and car parks. Originally<br />
launched in 20<strong>07</strong> as the Vegetarian<br />
Expo, the annual food and lifestyle event<br />
has continued to grow in popularity.<br />
Last year it was held at the Air Force<br />
Museum of New Zealand in Wigram.<br />
Attendance has continued to increase<br />
every year, attracting a diverse cross<br />
section of the community — including<br />
those who are curious to learn more<br />
about alternatives to meat, eggs and<br />
dairy products, as well as vegetarians,<br />
vegans and allergy sufferers. This year’s<br />
expo will be held in October.<br />
Designs chosen<br />
for empty shop windows<br />
<strong>The</strong> votes are in for the winners of the Enliven Places ShoPOP project, and the<br />
winners have been chosen to brighten up empty shop windows. In the open design<br />
the two winners were Until Works End by Audrey Baldwin, Khye Hitchcock and Ater<br />
Belobeeva, and <strong>The</strong> Pompoms by Shades Arcade. Until Works End features a series of<br />
surreal dioramas that re-imagine rebuild infrastructure, while <strong>The</strong> Pompoms features<br />
giant dancing pompoms that swirl and shimmy in a choreographed sequence<br />
of movement and light. Hagley Community College’s year 10 art/technology class<br />
won the student design category with their Light it Up design, which uses historic<br />
and contemporary shapes to shine a light on the future Christchurch. <strong>The</strong> winners<br />
were chosen through a Facebook voting competition and their designs will now be<br />
brought to life in shop windows over the next couple of months.<br />
Another Mosaic<br />
by Simo for city<br />
An Addington favourite is opening another<br />
Christchurch store. Mosaic by Simo will<br />
open in the Lichfield Lanes complex in the<br />
Innovation Precinct.<br />
Founded by chef Simo<br />
Abbari, the restaurant<br />
serves authentic<br />
Morrocan food, with an<br />
extensive range of fresh<br />
salads, bocadillos and<br />
traditional tagines for<br />
both lunch and dinner.<br />
Mosaic by Simo’s first<br />
restaurant remains on<br />
Lincoln Rd.<br />
Westpac returns<br />
to city centre<br />
Westpac has moved into central city development <strong>The</strong> Terrace. <strong>The</strong><br />
bank opened in its new building on Tuesday, which will double as its<br />
Christchurch flagship branch.<br />
Chief executive David McLean said the journey back into the city<br />
centre has been a much-anticipated homecoming for those that had<br />
to move out so suddenly after the February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
“Situated in what we feel is the best position in the city, with views<br />
over the Avon River, the new branch and office will offer our staff and<br />
customers the best of a natural setting combined with the business<br />
activity that surrounds <strong>The</strong> Terrace,” said Mr McLean.<br />
A total of 114 Westpac staff will occupy four floors of the five<br />
storey building, which has a 5 Green <strong>Star</strong> rating and sits on rolling<br />
foundations that move during an earthquake.<br />

GREAT food<br />
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />
Your fresh food people<br />
WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN WITH KUMARA, FENNEL AND APPLE<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups mushrooms, cleaned and<br />
stemmed<br />
2 medium orange kumara, cut<br />
into 2cm cubes<br />
2 large jazz apples, cored and<br />
chopped<br />
1 fennel bulb, coarsely chopped<br />
6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil<br />
3 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp freshly ground black<br />
pepper<br />

1 lemon, sliced<br />
5 thyme sprigs<br />
5 rosemary sprigs<br />
4 garlic cloves<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat oven to 220 deg C.<br />
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss<br />
mushrooms, kumara, fennel, and<br />
apples with three tablespoons<br />
oil. Sprinkle with one teaspoon<br />
salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.<br />

Sprinkle inside and outside of<br />
chicken evenly with remaining<br />
two teaspoons salt and 1/2<br />
teaspoon pepper. Stuff chicken<br />

sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and<br />
garlic cloves.<br />
Place chicken, breast side up<br />

on the sheet pan. Roast at 220<br />
deg C for 25min. Reduce oven<br />

WITH KIWIFRUIT, APPLE<br />
AND PEAR<br />
Ingredients<br />
Fruity filling<br />
5 green kiwifruit, peeled and<br />
roughly chopped<br />
3 pears, peeled, cores removed<br />
and roughly chopped<br />
3 jazz apples, peeled, cores<br />
removed and roughly chopped<br />
3 Tbsp maple syrup, honey or<br />
rice malt syrup<br />
1 tsp pure vanilla bean extract<br />
Juice of half a lemon<br />
Crumble<br />
1 cup rolled oats<br />
1/2 cup ground almonds<br />

Outback perfect for ski field roads<br />
THERE’S A motoring writer<br />
who knows a lot more about<br />
Subaru Outbacks than I do,<br />
simply because he is an owner.<br />
We were driving together on<br />
the media launch of the latest<br />
generation Outback and<br />
I commented on the smooth<br />
and strong power delivery of<br />
the six-cylinder option in the<br />
range.<br />
He replied by saying that he<br />
didn’t see many benefits of that<br />
engine compared to the base<br />
model 2.5-litre four-cylinder<br />
unit. <strong>The</strong> 3.6-litre horizontallyopposed<br />
six does have more<br />
power and seems more refined,<br />
but it is quite a bit thirstier<br />
than the standard unit and<br />
loads more weight into the<br />
front of the car.<br />
He’s quite right, the four-cylinder<br />
Outback is capable and<br />
does everything as it should;<br />
however, the six-cylinder<br />
Outback is a luxury – and I<br />
love it.<br />
I drove the two Premium<br />
variants of the new model<br />
back-to-back, and as much as<br />
I rate the entry model highly,<br />
I’d be a six-cylinder buyer,<br />
that engine is silky smooth,<br />
immensely powerful at 191kW<br />
and it has a free-flowing, unfaltering<br />
delivery of power. Along<br />
with its high top-end output,<br />
the Outback in this form is<br />
rated with a healthy 350Nm of<br />
torque.<br />
All Outback models get<br />
continuously variable transmission<br />
which Subaru label<br />
Lineartronic. It’s a big ask<br />
for CVT to harness the high<br />
engine strength but it works<br />
perfectly, it is so much like a<br />
traditional torque converter<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
SUBARU OUTBACK: Versatile all-road wagon.<br />
gearbox that it’s hard to notice<br />
that CVT is an inclusion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> paddle-shift six-step setup<br />
has a smooth ratio sequence<br />
which means the engine isn’t<br />
under pressure to maintain<br />
acceleration. That also has<br />
a relatively beneficial effect<br />
on fuel usage. Subaru claims<br />
a 9.9-litre-litre per 100km<br />
(28mpg) combined cycle average.<br />
<strong>The</strong> dash panel readouts<br />
were sitting close to that during<br />
my evaluation time constantly<br />
listing at around 11l/100km<br />
(26mpg) average.<br />
As a guide to the Outback’s<br />
speed, an acceleration time of<br />
around 7.8sec to make 100km/h<br />
from a standstill can be expected.<br />
That’s quick for a 1700kg vehicle.<br />
I used my normal high country<br />
run for the new model.<br />
That included a burst through<br />
the roads east of the Malvern<br />

Hills. <strong>The</strong> Outback wagon is a<br />
true touring vehicle and it sits<br />
quietly on the road with little<br />
noise intrusion.<br />
As its name suggests, the<br />
Outback is a model which has<br />
been engineered for life off the<br />
sealed roads. Even though its<br />
wagon configuration wouldn’t<br />
suggest that, it is a genuine<br />
off-road vehicle with Subaru’s<br />
widely-acclaimed, permanently-engaged,<br />
symmetrical<br />
four-wheel-drive system. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is also 213mm of ground clearance,<br />
while the long travel<br />
suspension is soft and absorbing<br />
for those big hits on crosscountry<br />
tracks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> weather was wet during<br />
my testing time, and I wasn’t<br />
up for a filthy vehicle challenge<br />
when I got home, so I drove<br />
only a short distance on shingle<br />
roads to get a feel of the suspension<br />
off the sealed surface.<br />
I can report it deals well to ruts<br />
and corrugations, and from<br />
previous experience with the<br />
Outback in tough, undulating<br />
slippery conditions it is a worthy<br />
of its mantle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> six-cylinder Outback is<br />
available in one specification<br />
only – high grade. It is labelled<br />
Premium and comes with a<br />
range of specification that has<br />
it sitting on the outer periphery<br />
of the luxury car market.<br />
And at $59,990 in this form,<br />
it is reaching up in price, but<br />
you do get a lot of car for the<br />
money, especially terms of its<br />
engineering.<br />
Take into account, too, the<br />
Outback is one of the few genuine<br />
wagons left in today’s new<br />
car market, it has versatility and<br />
practicality stamped all over it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> South Island has historically<br />
been a strong base for<br />
Subaru sales and with the ski<br />
season due to open on Friday,<br />
I’m picking the Outback in all<br />
forms will make up a solid<br />
percentage of cars sitting in the<br />
Mt Hutt car park.<br />
Gardening<br />
Cute cornflowers<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
IF YOU’RE after a cottage-garden or<br />
wildflower vibe in your garden then look no<br />
further than cornflowers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir ruffled and colourful flowers will<br />
add an easy-care, pretty look to any home<br />
and garden.<br />
Typically cornflowers are blue but you<br />
can get mixed bundles of seedlings which<br />
includes pink, lilac, white, purple and blue<br />
flowers.<br />
If you don’t have much of a garden, never<br />
fear, cornflowers also grow very well in pots<br />
and look particularly nice when grown with<br />
lobelia in containers.<br />
If you’re planting in the garden, look for<br />
a sunny, well-drained spot with soil that<br />
isn’t too sour. If you’re growing your cornflowers<br />
in a pot, as always, I recommend<br />
tipping out any old soil and replacing with<br />
new potting mix.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n dig a little hole and plant each seedling<br />
around 10cm apart.<br />
QUESTION<br />
GARDENING<br />
ADVICE with<br />
We have a two-year-old peach tree which unfortunately needs to be relocated. Please could you let me know if<br />
this is the correct time to transplant it as it has now shed all its leaves. If so, could you advise the correct way of<br />
going about it?<br />
Today’s winning question came from Valarie Lee. Congratulations!<br />
ANSWER<br />
Winter is the safest time for transplanting all trees and shrubs. Prune your peach tree prior<br />
to moving as this will make it easier to handle and reduce the possibility of transplant shock.<br />
While the two-year-old peach tree will have quite an extensive root system, do not<br />
be overly concerned if you have to shorten some of the larger roots.<br />
Before the move, make sure to prepare the site well; ensuring it is<br />
sheltered from the wind with free draining soil which has been broken<br />
up, and compost has been added.<br />
Firm the peach tree into position and lightly water, making<br />
sure there is adequate contact with the soil and the root<br />
system (eg: young root hairs so they can start growing).<br />
Apply a layer of Daltons Garden Mulch & Grow around<br />
the top, but not touching the tree trunk. Peach trees are<br />
somewhat nutrient hungry so apply Daltons Goldcote<br />
Fruit and Citrus Tree Fertiliser from mid-late October to<br />
early December at 4-6 weekly intervals, recommencing<br />
again in March through to April, applying at the same<br />
intervals.<br />

growing fruit trees, check out our How to<br />
Grow Fruit Trees and Berries guide at<br />
www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides<br />
<strong>June</strong>/July are the best months to plant, relocate and prune roses (once<br />
dormant). Choose a spot in the garden with plenty of sun, that is not<br />
crowded by other plants or trees, as good air fl ow reduces the risk of<br />
rose pests and diseases. Feed with Daltons Premium Rose Fertiliser<br />
for strong, healthy blooms.<br />

Sport<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
JOSH Marston operated<br />
like a thief in the night to<br />
create history, recording<br />
his and Holden’s first ever<br />
win in the New Zealand<br />
Rally Championship on<br />
Sunday.<br />
Going into the final two<br />
night stages at the Canterbury<br />
Rally, Marston was in<br />
third position, more than<br />
30sec off the rally lead.<br />
However, a final push in<br />
the dark saw him win both<br />
stages to claim victory<br />
from Australia’s Nathan<br />
Quinn by just under 10sec.<br />
“Those last two night<br />
stages went great, really<br />
good. We got to the end of<br />
stage 10, but didn’t know<br />
the results because we had<br />
no mobile phone coverage,”<br />
said Marston.<br />
“I said to Andrew (codriver),<br />
are we still on the<br />
podium? He said stop your<br />
whinging, we’ve just won<br />
the rally. We went mental<br />
in the car for about 30sec<br />
after that.”<br />
Once popular night<br />
stages have now become<br />
a rarity in rallying. However,<br />
Marston knew that<br />
going into the unknown<br />
presented a great chance to<br />
reel in the leaders.<br />
Marston’s win in the<br />
Holden Barina AP4+ came<br />
as somewhat of a surprise<br />

even to him given where<br />
the team’s early season<br />
pace which saw him finish<br />
fourth at Otago and<br />
sixth in Whangerei. In<br />
the Holden team’s first<br />
season in the NZRC in<br />
2016 Marston finished<br />
20th, while teammate Greg<br />
Murphy finished 28th.<br />
Holden isn’t a name<br />
synonymous with rallying.<br />
<strong>The</strong> win marked the<br />
first time in 31 years that<br />
a car marketed under the<br />
GM brand won an NZRC<br />
round when Lloyd Owen<br />
and Carl Rabbidge won in<br />
an Opel Mantra in Canterbury.<br />
It’s also the first time<br />
a Holden has ever won an<br />
NZRC round since the<br />
championship commenced<br />
in 1977.<br />

Armstrong<br />
crashes twice in<br />
Hungary<br />
Two crashes with the<br />
same driver have marred<br />
the second round<br />
of the European F3<br />
championship for Marcus<br />
Armstrong. In three races<br />
at the Hungaroring in<br />
Hungary at the weekend,<br />
the Christchurch driver<br />
recorded a second and two<br />
DNFs. <strong>The</strong> 17-year-old<br />
briefly led the opening<br />
race of the weekend<br />
before retiring after<br />
a tangle with British<br />
driver Daniel Ticktum.<br />
In race two, Armstrong<br />
collected some much<br />
needed championship<br />
points, finishing second<br />
behind championship<br />
leader Enaam Ahmed.<br />
In the final race,<br />
Armstrong came together<br />
with Ticktum again.<br />
Armstrong is sixth in the<br />
championship standings.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury women’s<br />
team claimed gold at the<br />
New Zealand provincial<br />
volleyball championships<br />
in Wellington over the<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
“<strong>The</strong> objective was to get<br />
on the podium, so to get<br />
the win was a really nice<br />
surprise,” said Marston.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 33-year-old won the<br />
opening stage of the Canterbury<br />
Rally before dropping<br />
more than 90sec off the lead<br />
after a spin on stage two<br />
which resulted in a flat tyre<br />
and bent steering arm. He<br />
then clawed his way back<br />
into contention with four<br />
stage wins in a row.<br />
<strong>The</strong> win moves him into<br />
third on the NZRC drivers’<br />
championship points table<br />
with 68 points, behind Ben<br />
Hunt with 70 and Hayden<br />
Paddon on 88.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fourth round of the<br />
championship takes place<br />
in South Canterbury on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 23.<br />
weekend. <strong>The</strong>y won all<br />
three of their pool games<br />
before defeating an<br />
Australian invitational<br />
team 3-2 on sets in the<br />
quarter-final. A 3-0 win<br />
over Bay of Plenty in the<br />
semi-final set up a final<br />
against North Harbour.<br />
<strong>The</strong> match turned out<br />
to be a doozy with<br />
Canterbury winning<br />
the fifth set 18-16<br />
to complete the 3-2<br />
win. <strong>The</strong>re were also<br />
impressive results at the<br />
championships for the<br />
Canterbury under-20 men<br />
(second) and under-17<br />
women (third).

Teens take on the Yangtze<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
TWO Christchurch teenagers<br />
will leave the relative comfort of<br />
their training pools next month<br />
to battle 3000 swimmers in the<br />
world’s third longest river.<br />
Quinton Hurley and Ruby<br />
Wagenvoord will represent<br />
the city in the 44th Wuhan<br />
International Yangtze River<br />
Crossing Festival in Wuhan,<br />
China, on July 16.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two 17-year-olds will<br />
navigate the 1800m course with<br />
an international field of swimmers<br />
who will compete for a<br />
$US20,000 first prize, $8000 second<br />
prize and $5000 third prize<br />
for both the men’s and women’s<br />
races.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Yangtze River is the longest<br />
river in Asia at 6380km, and<br />
is still seen as a major trading<br />
route for China.<br />
<strong>The</strong> swimming competition<br />
commemorates China’s former<br />
leader Mao Zedong, who swam<br />
across the Yangtze River at Wuhan<br />
on July 16, 1966, aged 73.<br />
Wuhan is the capital city of<br />
central China’s Hubei Province,<br />
and Christchurch’s sister city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fully-funded opportunity<br />
came from a collaborative effort<br />
between ChristchurchNZ, the<br />
Wuhan Foreign Affairs Office<br />
and Swimming Canterbury West<br />
Coast.<br />
To be eligible for initial<br />
selection, swimmers had to be<br />
Christchurch-based, have met<br />
the 400m qualifying standard<br />

China’s Hubei Province. <strong>The</strong><br />
festival commemorates<br />
former Chinese leader Mao<br />
Zedong’s swim across the<br />
river in 1966.<br />
and be over the age of 15.<br />
For Wagenvoord, the opportunity<br />
will be unique. “It’s certainly<br />
exciting and something that is<br />
totally different for me to have<br />
such a culturally diverse experience’<br />
she said.<br />
A keen breaststroke and<br />
freestyle exponent, Wagenvoord<br />
has been swimming since she<br />
was three and competing for<br />
AquaGym since she was 11.<br />
She has previously won six<br />
gold medals at the New Zealand<br />
secondary school championships<br />
and a silver.<br />
She has also been on the<br />
podium at the New Zealand<br />
age-group and short-course<br />
championships.<br />
She said if she won any prize<br />
money, she would likely spend it<br />
on her future studies.<br />
Hurley, who competes for the<br />
Jasi club, has always been an avid<br />
long-distance swimmer.<br />
He has competed in both the<br />
400m, 800m and 1500m, and<br />
will represent New Zealand at<br />
the Oceania championships in<br />
Papua New Guinea from <strong>June</strong><br />
25-30.<br />
A river swim like this is<br />
certainly outside of Hurley’s<br />
comfort zone and he hasn’t considered<br />
what he might do if he<br />
won some prize money.<br />
“It’ll take some getting used<br />
too swimming in a flowing river<br />
with that many people,” he said.<br />
“I’ve done some open water<br />
events in Taupo but to be battling<br />
currents and the flow of<br />
such a big river will be something<br />
new.”<br />
Hurley is having eight pool<br />
sessions and two gym sessions<br />
a week as he prepares. He’s not<br />
only working towards China, but<br />
potential qualification for the<br />
Youth Olympics in Argentina in<br />
October.<br />
It is the first time anyone from<br />
Christchurch has been invited to<br />
take part in the festival.<br />
Said ChristchurchNZ market<br />
project manager Karen Haig:<br />
“It’s an exciting opportunity for<br />
us to strengthen our ties with<br />
Wuhan and we think we have<br />
two excellent representatives<br />
who will showcase Christchurch<br />
very well internationally.”<br />
Canterbury needs to shoot for an ANBL franchise<br />
EXPECT TOMORROW night’s<br />
experiment with Horncastle<br />
Arena hosting the Canterbury<br />
Rams to be a true indication<br />
in the rise in popularity of<br />
basketball.<br />
If the evening goes as well as<br />
planned, it’s time to bring a finals<br />
weekend to Christchurch. We<br />
could also join the race with Wellington<br />
to create a second New<br />
Zealand franchise in the Australian<br />
NBL.<br />
One-eyed Cantab<br />

As of yesterday, more than<br />
4300 tickets had been sold for the<br />
match against the Wellington<br />
Saints at the 5500-seat arena.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rams usually play at Cowles<br />
Stadium. With the Rams only<br />
a few wins away from a play-off<br />
spot, the time seems right for<br />
Christchurch to put up its hand<br />
to host August’s top four finals<br />
weekend for the first time since<br />
1999.<br />
That occasion almost 20 years<br />
ago makes me feel nostalgic. As a<br />
10-year-old, I remember watching<br />
the likes of Clifton Bush,<br />
Dave Langrell and my idol at the<br />
time, Jason Kyle, progress to the<br />
final before Auckland stole the<br />
show. New Zealand basketball<br />
was on the way up then. Many of<br />
the top players who would go on<br />
to take New Zealand to a fourthplace<br />
finish at the world championships<br />
in 2002 were competing<br />
in the pre-New Zealand Breakers<br />
NBL.<br />
When the Breakers entered<br />
the Australian competition in<br />
2003, interest in the New Zealand<br />
league waned. With Wellington<br />
being vocal in recent years to<br />
create a second Kiwi ANBL team,<br />
interest in the NZ competition<br />
could decrease again if they get<br />
their wish.<br />
It’s time to beat Wellington to<br />
the knockout blow. <strong>The</strong>re are a<br />
lot of reasons to believe an ANBL<br />
franchise in Canterbury could<br />
work. <strong>The</strong> competition to get<br />
bums on seats shouldn’t be high<br />
as the ANBL season runs from<br />
October to March, outside of the<br />
netball and rugby seasons.<br />
Basketball has become the<br />
fastest growing sport in New<br />
Zealand secondary schools, with<br />
a 27 percent increase in participation<br />
over the past five years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> growth mean it is tracking<br />
towards being the country’s most<br />
popular high school sport by<br />
2020.<br />
Player depth is also improving.<br />

With the increasing number of<br />
Australian and New Zealand<br />
teenagers gaining scholarships<br />
at United States colleges, more<br />
players are returning home at a<br />
professional playing level akin<br />
to the ANBL. <strong>The</strong> competition is<br />
now attracting some of the most<br />
exciting US high school prospects<br />
looking to earn money playing<br />
abroad for a year, rather than go<br />
to college, before entering the<br />
NBA draft.<br />
Canterbury may not have the<br />
market size of Auckland. However,<br />
Cairns and Wollongong –<br />
both smaller than Christchurch<br />
– operate teams.<br />
With the popularity of basketball<br />
on the rise, it’s time Canterbury<br />
upped the stakes.

Johnson set to play 150th game in Chch<br />
• By Michael Burgess<br />
SHAUN JOHNSON is back for<br />
the Warriors – and will celebrate<br />
a special milestone on Saturday<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
He has been named to make<br />
his 150th NRL appearance in the<br />
Warriors clash against Manly<br />
Warringah at AMI Stadium.<br />
Johnson has been stuck on<br />
149 games since an ankle injury<br />
picked up late in the club’s 26-4<br />
win over Wests Tigers. After<br />
scoring his 61st career try in that<br />
victory, Johnson has missed the<br />
last three outings against the<br />
Sydney Roosters, Parramatta and<br />
South Sydney.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warriors have lacked<br />
attacking spark in his absence,<br />
only scoring five tries across<br />
those three matches. Regular<br />
changes haven’t helped, and the<br />
team have desperately missed<br />
Johnson’s X-factor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 27-year-old can turn<br />
a match in an instant with a<br />
moment of magic, and has the<br />
ability to create space for his<br />
teammates.<br />
Johnson will became the 12th<br />
Warrior to record 150 games. He<br />
made his debut in 2011 against<br />
the Roosters, and brought up his<br />
100th NRL match against the<br />
same opposition three years ago.<br />
His return means Peta Hiku<br />
shifts back to the centres, while<br />
there are two changes among the<br />
forwards.<br />
After starting against the Rabbitohs,<br />
Simon Mannering goes<br />
back to the bench while 19-yearold<br />
Isaiah Papali’i has been<br />
named to start in the second row.<br />
Utility Jazz Tevaga (shoulder)<br />
is out for three weeks, which<br />
means Karl Lawton remains in<br />
the interchange mix. <strong>The</strong> four<br />
players on the extended bench<br />
are Gerard Beale, Mason Lino,<br />
Sam Lisone and Ligi Sao.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warriors are fourth on the<br />
NRL ladder on 18 points, two<br />
behind Penrith and St George<br />
Illawarra. Warriors v Sea Eagles<br />
kicks off at 5pm.<br />
Warriors: Roger Tuivasa-<br />
Sheck (c), David Fusitu’a, Peta<br />
Hiku, Solomone Kata, Ken<br />
Maumalo, Blake Green, Shaun<br />
Johnson, James Gavet, Issac<br />

Help at hand for<br />
overwhelmed<br />
home buyers<br />
and sellers<br />
If you believe everything you see<br />
in advertisements, buying a house<br />
is a blissfully easy process done by<br />
attractive couples who are moving into<br />
picture-perfect properties. <strong>The</strong>re will<br />
be moments of joy and laughter, and<br />
the only thing missing will be a unicorn<br />
grazing in the neatly manicured garden.<br />
In real life, buying or selling a house<br />
can be a time for great rejoicing, but it<br />
can also be extremely stressful. Owning<br />
a home is still embedded in the Kiwi<br />
DNA, despite rising prices making it<br />
less attainable. Buying a property is<br />
the biggest financial transaction most<br />
people will ever make in their lifetime<br />
and if it doesn’t go well the results can<br />
be devastating.<br />
As the regulator for New Zealand’s<br />
real estate industry, the Real Estate<br />
Authority (REA) works to increase<br />
professionalism and public confidence<br />
in the sector as well as to protect,<br />
educate and inform home buyers and<br />
sellers. In the last year we’ve done a lot<br />
of research into Kiwis’ experience of<br />
property transactions and the results<br />
have been sobering.<br />
Our research has found that more<br />
than 50 per cent of New Zealanders<br />
say they lack the knowledge and<br />
information they need when trying<br />
to buy and sell property. Many feel<br />
confused and find it difficult to find<br />
reliable information. <strong>The</strong> majority (55<br />
per cent) said they lacked knowledge<br />
about the end-to-end process.<br />
Unfortunately, this lack of knowledge<br />
means that many buyers fail to do the<br />
appropriate due diligence and expose<br />
themselves to significant potential<br />
risks. We all know someone who didn’t<br />
realise they’d have to pay for a shared<br />
driveway, or who bought a house<br />
without getting a building inspection<br />
that would have showed it was full of<br />
borer. Our survey found that while<br />
83 per cent of buyers got at least one<br />
report on a property, less than half<br />
(44 per cent) got one from a certified<br />

NEW LISTINGS<br />
building inspector. <strong>The</strong>se kinds of<br />
situations cost money and time, which<br />
are never in great enough supply for<br />
most people.<br />
A lack of clear guidance could be<br />
partially responsible for the results<br />
of a second survey, which showed<br />
that 53 per cent of potential buyers<br />
had problems when making an offer<br />
on a property. Thirty-five per cent of<br />
sellers found marketing the property<br />
and having open homes the toughest<br />
part of the process. Half of those<br />
who experienced trouble said it had<br />
a significant impact, causing them<br />
personal stress or financial woes. New<br />
migrants and first-time home buyers<br />
and sellers were the most likely to have<br />
problems, such as with understanding<br />
the value and the condition of a<br />
property.<br />
While it may seem that there’s a lot<br />
of information on buying or selling<br />
out there, it’s often scattered and hard<br />
to understand. Crucially, it often<br />
comes from sources with a vested<br />
interest in the outcome and people are<br />
understandably wary about whether<br />
they can rely on it.<br />
This is where we come in. Recently<br />
REA launched a new website to help fill<br />
the gap. Buying a house is a complex<br />
legal process and things can be even<br />
more difficult if you’re not sure about<br />
how it works because you’ve never<br />
done it before or you haven’t done<br />
it for a long time. We hope that the<br />
impartial and interactive information<br />
and guidance on settled.govt.nz will<br />
help people make better decisions. We<br />
want to make it easy for people to do<br />
their homework so they feel confident<br />
and in control before buying or selling<br />
property. When you’ve got the right<br />
information at hand your experience<br />
is much more likely to resemble the<br />
dream sold in advertisements.<br />
