PROMINENT Cantabrians<br />
have given a mixed response to<br />
the possible futuristic look of<br />
Cathedral Square.<br />
Plans for what the Square<br />
could look like were released<br />
by Regenerate Christchurch<br />
yesterday after seven years of<br />
debate and controversy over the<br />
slow progress of the rebuild.<br />
It includes three covered<br />
pavilions, which would have<br />
a “lattice-style” translucent<br />
roof, which could host markets<br />
and other events.<br />

“I’m confident Regenerate<br />
Christchurch’s vision will allow<br />
this to happen.”<br />
City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />
said it would need to work<br />
around other developments<br />
such as Turanga, the Spark<br />
building, Aotea Gifts and the<br />
restoration of Christ Church<br />
Cathedral.<br />
“We’ve got to look at what is<br />
happening, what’s in the vision<br />
and what can we deliver.”<br />
City councillor Jamie Gough<br />
said it was a good starting<br />

A CON man who tells his<br />
intended victims he will harm<br />
their families if they don’t pay up<br />
may face a bigger problem than<br />
the law – gangs.<br />
Police have received 19 complaints<br />
from Christchurch people<br />
targeted by the sinister scam. It<br />
involves phone<br />
calls and texts to<br />
victims who are<br />
told the caller is<br />
from the Mongrel<br />
Mob, Highway 61<br />
or Black Power.<br />
Pay up or your<br />
family members, Greg<br />
including elderly Newbold<br />
parents, will be<br />
attacked, the caller says.<br />
But it appears the con man is<br />
not connected to the gangs, just<br />
using their names to put fear into<br />
the intended victims.<br />
Canterbury University criminologist<br />
Greg Newbold said yesterday<br />
the gangs would be “filthy”.<br />
“All I can say is he’s got a death<br />
wish,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y will be absolutely p***ed<br />
off. Anybody who impersonates<br />
a gang member is committing a<br />
serious crime against the gang.”<br />
Prof Newbold said the perpetrator<br />
could get a “hiding” for that<br />
alone.<br />

A CONVICTED killer is back<br />
behind bars after a spectacular<br />
crash while allegedly fleeing<br />
police.<br />
John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru<br />
Forester crashed through the<br />
Rolleston dog park fence on<br />
Saturday.<br />
A spear-like fence post<br />
smashed through the window<br />

woman in the passenger seat.<br />
Miraculously Jamieson and the<br />
woman were unhurt.<br />
He had earlier been recorded<br />
driving at 180km/h on State<br />
Highway 1.<br />
A cut-down rifle was later<br />
found by police in the vehicle.<br />
<strong>Star</strong>tled dog walkers said<br />
Jamieson ran a short distance<br />
from the vehicle before stopping<br />
to see if the woman in the vehicle<br />
was okay.<br />
Police arrived soon after and<br />
he was apprehended.<br />
Jamieson was one of six men<br />
“I’m confident Regenerate<br />
