revealed
• By Gordon Findlater
HE MIGHT look a little
more grizzled but this is the
unmistakable face, albeit
bearded, of Alex Wyllie.
And he is soon to be a hit on
television – as a bowler.
The 73-year-old is part of a
three-member Woodend club
team that will play in a national
televised competition called
Bowls3 – which is being
labelled the equivalent of
cricket’s T20.
The six teams selected to
compete in the live-to-air
competition on Sky Sport,
running for six weeks from
October 23, are Point Chevalier
(Auckland), Stokes Valley
(Wellington), Woodend, Stoke

(Nelson), Royal Oak (Auckland)
and Gore.
Wyllie will play alongside another
Canterbury rugby identity
Na Katae, who played his career
for New Brighton, and Jenny
Anderson.
Known for his uncompromising
attitude on the rugby field,
Wyllie is much more sedate on
the bowling green.
“Sometimes I do feel like
giving myself an uppercut
though. I can get quite vocal but
I’m more likely to yell at my own
team than the opposition,” he
said.
Katae took up bowls eight years
ago and has become immersed
in the sport and the social aspect
that comes with it.

STREET SEX workers in
Christchurch are regarded
as “trash” and “disposable
population” others can treat
how they like.
That includes being
gang-raped in a work van and
having beer bottles thrown at
them.
The details are revealed in a
new report on what is described
as the “harrowing” lives of
street sex workers.
“Street-based sex workers
are often stigmatised to such a
degree that they are seen as a
‘disposable population’ which
makes them a target for violent
attacks,” Street-Based Sex
Workers in Christchurch says.
It was written by Otago
University associate professor
Gillian Abel and the New
Zealand Prostitute’s Collective
legal adviser Bridie Sweetman.
The report will used by a
working group made up of
Manchester St residents, the
city council, police and the
prostitute’s collective.
They are looking to solve
long-standing tensions between
the sex workers and residents.

A CANTERBURY University law
student being investigated for a
sexual assault has been allowed to
go overseas on a study-related trip.
Bu the university’s dean of
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to
discuss the matter.
“I can’t comment
about any
of this because
of confidentiality
and privacy,” she
told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has
learned a female
student has laid
a complaint abou the accused
being allowed to go on the trip.
It is understood it is no the
same person who has laid the
sexual assault complain to the
police.
The Star has been told it is a
rape investigation.
The Star sent a number of questions
to Canterbury University
yesterday but none would be answered.
Said Canterbury University
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:
“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was
turned off.
Police would also not comment
on the matter.
The overseas trip involves

What’s
for lunch?
Grain Coffee and Eatery
19 Southwark St
Tucked down a side street in the
southern end of the central city is an
inconspicuous cafe you could walk right
past if you didn’t know it was there.
Grain Coffee and Eatery is based in the
lobby of Qb Studios on Southwark St,
and the minimalist premises has little
signage outside to guide you in.
But with a small kitchen menu
offering brunch options, a colourfully
stocked cabinet and Allpress coffee, it’s
worth a visit.
I had a received a recommendation
to try one of the grain bowls, but after
eyeing up the other sandwich and wrap
options I nearly changed my mind.
It was essentially a tasty bowl of
goodness filled with quinoa, salad,
falafel, hummus, roast pumpkin,
spinach and other healthy ingredients.
However, watch out because it’s the 1
type of wholesome lunch that’s almost
too good for you, you leave craving
something more.
Thankfully, there’s sweet treats in the
cabinet to choose from and

Fire rages, homes at risk
Dog and booze equals in the drink
• By Sophie Cornish and
Sarla Donovan
A FLUFFY little dog has been
blamed for a drink driver
backing into the sea.
It will no doubt be part of his
explanation when he appears in
the district court after the incident
near Duvauchelle just after
midnight last Thursday.
Senior Constable Tim Johnson
said a small white fluffy
dog, which was in the car,
Antique stores around
New Zealand are
on the decline. Lee
Umbers finds out why
INTERNET trading, rising
rents and a lack of newgeneration
dealers have all
contributed to a “dramatic
crunch” in the number of
stores, says New Zealand
Antique Dealers’ Association
president Barry Holliday.
After having 50-60 members
about 15-20 years ago and
“people clambering” to join, the
association is down to about
10 – and “a few of them are
due to hand in their retirement
notices in the next few months I
imagine”.
“The association now is
slowing grinding to a halt,” Mr
Holliday said.
“It’s a terrible thing, really.”
Mr Holliday, 73, took over
his family business Holliday &
Sons at 21. Established in 1848
in England, it was set up in
Christchurch in 1949.
He is the fifth generation in
the profession and his son Jason
is the sixth.
But he said a number of other
antique dealers had started out
later in life as a career change.
With family already having
left home, if they ran the store
appears to have distracted the
driver.
“They’ve backed out of an address
and it appears that a small
dog in the vehicle might have
got between the driver’s legs
and they’ve reversed back over
the seawall.”
The Toyota RAV4 was left
teetering with its back axle in
the water.
The 47-year-old driver and his
passengers were able to get out
of the vehicle.
by themselves “they didn’t have
succession plans in place”.
Many leased their premises,
so there was no property to sell
either.
Rising shop rents had also
bitten, Mr Holliday said.
He estimates there were about
70 shops in Christchurch selling
second-hand goods a decade
ago.
Akaroa Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief fire officer Mark
Thomson said if the vehicle had
gone into the sea an hour later,
it would have been nearly high
tide and the trio would probably
have drowned.
“They were very lucky . . .
if the water was any higher
and the car had flipped upside
down, they would have
drowned because they wouldn’t
have been able to get themselves
out.”
Antique shop woes
COLLECTION: Barry Holliday and his son Jason, who run
Holliday & Sons, with a rare 19th-century Japanese imari
vase worth $6500.
“But they were probably
only paying $25-$35 a square
metre. Now they won’t get a
shop under probably $250-$300
a square metre in the central
city.”
Internet trading had taken a
toll on the collectables side of
the market, he said.
But the antique business in

a square metre.
Now they won’t

central city’

pieces “is still quite strong”.
People want peace of mind
buying from an established
dealer when making such purchases,
he said.
“If you’re going to spend, say,
$5000 – and that isn’t an expensive
piece of antique furniture
– you don’t want to find when it
arrives by the carrier that one of
the legs has been replaced, and
the drawers don’t run properly
‘cause the runners have had it,
and you’ve got no comeback.”
Antique dealers were selling
over the internet as well as out
of their stores.
“Some of them are very successful,”
Mr Holliday said.
“My business has never done
that, but we are working on a
site at the moment.”

Chch leads country
in flu immunisations
More than a third of Cantabrians
have had their flu immunisation
this winter. Recent data shows
184,610 flu vaccines have been
distributed, more than the totals
taken at the end of the season for
the previous three years. This is
equivalent to 36 percent of the
population and puts Canterbury
at the top of the country for
distributed vaccines.

Sex workers thought of as disposable
The turbulent
relationship between
the community and
street-based sex
workers has been
analysed in a new study
in a bid to find ways
to ease tension. Julia
Evans looks at the
findings
STREET CLOSURES and road
works following the February
22, 2011, earthquake, forced sex
workers to move north of Bealey
Ave into residential Manchester
St.
Since then the tension between
residents and workers has been
growing – the community called
for a bylaw that could see them
moved on by police, only to have
it rejected by the city council.
Instead a collaborative approach
encouraging workers
back to commercial Manchester
St is being championed through
a working group.
The study Street-based Sex
Work in Christchurch by Otago
University Associate Professor
of public health Gillian Abel
and the New Zealand Prostitute
Collective law and policy adviser
Bridie Sweetman has just been
released with the aim of helping
inform that approach.
Sex and outreach workers, city
council staff, and Manchester
St residents were interviewed
about violence, their relationship
with the community, sex worker
needs and location.
“It’s about understanding their
story,” Miss Sweetman said.
“We’re trying to mediate
with the community, as well as
enhancing the safety and wellbeing
of sex workers and work
out what’s causing those tensions
. . . it provides more information
and I think the more information
we have, the better.”
“I wish the contents of the
report were less harrowing,
but it’s about informing
people of what is going on
out here.” – Bridie Sweetman
It will be presented to the
working group, made up of the
NZPC, city council, police, residents
and social services, at its
August meeting.
The report said sex workers
are often thought of as “disposable
population” which makes
the subject to “violence, abuse,
discrimination and scapegoating.”
“It’s interesting that the stigma
of street workers is still quite
strong and it’s not as bad for
indoor workers,” Dr Abel said.
“It is not a rare occurrence that
people drive past, yell abuse or
throw things. No other person in
society would put up with this or
be expected to do so.”

workers interviewed for the

stigma in Christchurch is slowly
improving, with the working
group trying to change that.
One outreach worker described
a 19-year-old worker who
was “gang-raped and dumped
away from Manchester St.”
“I wish the contents of the
report were less harrowing, but
it’s about informing people of
what is going on out here,” Miss
Sweetman said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
She said violence for local
street workers is a “huge issue”
in Christchurch. But it had been
slowly diminished since sex work
was decriminalised.
“There is much worse violence
in Christchurch against sex
workers than the rest of the
country.”
Miss Sweetman said it was
because a collaborative approach,
such as the working group, had
not been taken before.
“We’re so keen for the collaborative
approach because
of what we’ve seen from places
like Manukau, and even further
abroad. The literature coming out
of there is positive.”
However, the report also revealed
an improved relationship
in the city between sex workers
and police since decriminalisation.
“Sex workers are more likely to
approach police, but a reticence
to report violence remains, as
well as a perception of bias,” it
said.
Acting Inspector Stephen
McDaniel said police have been
meeting with the working group,
which he said was “working
well.”
“We’ve always had a good
relationship with the prostitutes’

collective and most of the girls on
the street too,” he said.
But since upping their patrols
and encouraging workers to
move south of Bealey Ave, Acting
Inspector McDaniel said: “We’re
happy, the girls are happy and the
residents are happy.”
“Interviews with residents suggest
a wish to move sex workers
away from areas where they are
undesired. However, interviews
with the workers indicate that
they would respond more posi-

tively to incentives to draw them
towards areas that are better
suited to their working needs,”
the study said.
“Cities which have made space
for street-based sex work in
urban design have successfully
created better conditions for
street-based sex workers, as well
as harmony for the communities
they work in.”
City council head of community
support, governance and
partnerships John Filsell said

until the working group met in
August to consider the report it
would not be known what would
be taken from it.
“This means we do not yet have
a view on the report and we may
simply note it.”
But Miss Sweetman said the
study highlighted a need for better
amenity and more outreach
workers.
A Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board decision to
grant $40,000 to pay the wages of
a street outreach worker to liaise
between sex workers, residents
and businesses 24/7 was delayed
on Monday after the meeting did
not reach a quorum.
Manchester St resident Matt
Bonis said an outreach worker
had already made a big difference
in the area.
“She’s given her number to
all the residents in the area. She
comes straight away and makes
them move on. As a consequence
of that and winter, it’s been a lot
quieter.”
However, Mr Bonis said the
residents were still keen to see a
regulatory approach taken after
the bylaw was rejected by the city
council.
“The collaborative approach is
working at this stage . . . but we’re
still worried about them coming
back. They just need to be clear
about where it is okay to go and
where not to go.”
The study said toilets, a sharps
disposal unit, extra CCTV cameras
and better lighting would
encourage the workers to move
south.
“The need for a public toilet
in this area was identified and
explored in 2014 and met with
opposition from local residents.
No city council funding is
currently set aside for this
purpose or proposed in the
Long Term Plan,” Mr Filsell
said.
Mr Filsell said funding is
available for an extra CCTV
camera that will be installed on
the corner of Manchester St and
Aberdeen St. A new rubbish bin
was recently installed on the
corner.

Phone scam investigation
comes to ‘screaming halt’
• By Bridget Rutherford
A POLICE investigation has
failed to prove who was behind a
phone scam that claimed gangs
would hurt victims’ families if
they did not pay up.
Senior Constable Wayne
Stapley said the investigation had
come to a “screaming halt” and
there was little more police could
do.
“We’re probably going to have
to let it slide and file it.”
Last month, The Star reported
police found two bank account
numbers given to victims and
were awaiting information from
the bank.
Two phone numbers had also
led police to a suspect who had
been interviewed and denied any
involvement.
Senior Constable Stapley said
yesterday the bank account
details had come back and could
not be linked to any persons of
interest or the phone numbers.
“It’s come to a screaming halt
unfortunately,” he said.
“It’s really, really hard to prove.”
Police received 21 complaints
from those targeted by the scam,
which involved phone calls and
texts to victims who were told
the caller was from the Mongrel
Mob, Highway 61 or Black Power.
One victim was told to pay
$1000 or Black Power would burn
his house down and harm his
family.
Senior Constable Stapley said
since police started investigating
and after stories in The Star, there
had been no further reported
cases.
“No threats have been carried
through and no money has
passed hands.”

Same sex stand won’t affect cathedral
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE Transitional Cathedral
will remain the property
of the Anglican Diocese
of Christchurch when the
parishioners from the church,
once based there, cut diocesan
ties over its stand on same sex
marriage.
Diocesan
manager Edwin
Boyce said
the Latimer
Square site and
Transitional

Cathedral
belong to the
parish that
remains part of the diocese.
“While clergy and a large
number of parishioners have
decided to disaffiliate, the parish
still remains in existence.”
Parishioners from four
Christchurch churches will cut
ties with the diocese in three
months after the Anglican
Church voted to allow the blessing
of same sex marriages.
One of those is St John’s
Latimer, which was based on
the site where the Transitional
Cathedral now stands.
St John’s stone church and hall
was demolished after the February
22, 2011, earthquake and
the diocese decided to build the

temporary replacement for the
Christ Church Cathedral on the
site with the intention St John’s
would return eventually.
St John’s Latimer has since
been based on Berwick St, St
Albans.
“The Transitional Cathedral
will continue to be used by the
Cathedral until the Cathedral
reinstatement in the Square
is complete, at which point it
reverts back to the parish,” Mr
Boyce said.
He said a meeting with St
John’s had not yet taken place
to work out its exit strategy,
so he was unable to comment
on where the people from the
church would be based.
St John’s Latimer’s Reverend
James de Costobadie said the
congregation would continue to
be based at Berwick St for the
“foreseeable future.”
“We will need to change our
name, as we will no longer be
the Parish of St John’s, but have
not selected one yet.”
He said they were disappointed
to be disaffiliating but would
maintain a good relationship
with the diocese.
“It is a great sadness for us
that the national Anglican
Church is on a journey where we
do not feel able to follow, which
means we felt we had no option
but to choose to disaffiliate from
the diocese.”
Parishioners from St Stephen’s
Shirley, St Saviour’s and St
Nicholas’ in South Christchurch
and St John’s Woolston are also
disaffiliating with the diocese.
Mr Boyce said the exit process
would take about three months
for logistics to be sensitively
managed in a respectful and
orderly way.
“In some cases it was acknowledged
that although the
majority of the people attending
these churches intended to leave,
some will remain.”
He said the diocese was committed
to care for those remaining,
and to enable a smooth exit
for those choosing to leave.
Mr Boyce said further meetings
were still being arranged
to work out exit strategies to do
with personnel, plant, buildings,
bank accounts and more.
He said it was agreed decisions
about these things would
happen on a case-by-case basis
depending on particular circumstances
and fairness.

The spotlight has been
on Russia in recent
weeks with the World
Cup. Michael Burgess
catches up with Rodney
Russ, who spends half his
time in the vast country
and the other half in
Christchurch
EXPLORER: Rodney Russ runs expeditions into the Russian far east to places no other
company goes.
WHEN YOU ask Rodney Russ
about his time in Russia, one of
his favourite sayings springs to
mind.
“They say here that nothing is
allowed but everything is possible,”
he says, laughing. “I think
it sums things up well. There are
a lot of rules and regulations,
and it can drive you crazy sometimes.
“But there are so many opportunities.
It’s an incredible part of
the world.”
Mr Russ has seen more of Russia
than most westerners, including
pretty remote areas.
His company Heritage Expeditions
has access to the far east,
and Mr Russ has even lived with
reindeer herders and whale hunters.
The father-of-two’s foray into
Russia began in 1993, when he
chartered an ex-Soviet polar research
vessel to run expeditions
through the sub-antarctic islands
of New Zealand.
A relationship grew and in the
early 2000s, Russ leased the ship
full-time, with a view to running
trips through the Russian far
east.
“A few companies had tried
and failed,” he said. “It had
always been a closed area under
Soviet control due to the presence
of military bases and the
proximity to the United States.
We were the first company to
take people in there and go
across the top of Russia.”
But how did Mr Russ, heading
a small New Zealand company,
manage to gain permission?
“The key was getting locals
involved,” he said. “We wanted
to form a joint venture. We have
Russian ships, employ Russian
crews and have local guides
where possible.”
Even after more than 15 years,
the process of negotiating access
and permits remains onerous.
“It’s very complicated, more
complicated by the day,” said
Mr Russ, who is based in Russia
between April and October and
Christchurch the rest of the year.
“The process starts months in
advance. We have to get a blanket
permit from Moscow, including
the military, the fisheries and
the natural reserves,” he said.
“Then we negotiate with local
and regional authorities. And
over-reaching it all is the FSB,
the modern KGB. They are still
fairly paranoid about foreign
companies.”
But it’s worth it. Mr Russ’
tales of his experiences stir
up memories of Roy Batty’s
soliloquy speech in the original
Bladerunner.
“I’ve done 50 trips to
Antarctica and more than 100
trips to the southern islands,
but the Russian far east trumps
that,” he said.
“Once, going through the
north-east passage, we saw a lot
of white dots on the hillside. As
we came closer we realised there
were about 180 polar bears feeding
on a dead bowhead whale.
Those photographs went viral.”

“I’ve seen Soviet military bases
on islands in the middle of nowhere
that have been abandoned
since the early 1990s, and we
once saw 14 blue whales on a
single leg.”
Mr Russ also had a stint living
on Wrangel Island in the far
north – “they call it the polar
bear maternity ward” and last
year the company made a transit
of the northern sea route, across
the top of Russia.
Over the past 15 years, Mr

Board makes rare move
over liquor store appeal
• By Julia Evans
THE Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
has made a rare move in a bid to
keep a controversial liquor store
from opening in Phillipstown.
The board has been granted
leave by the Alcohol Regulatory
and Licensing Authority so it
can be involved in the
appeal of a decision that
declined a Liquorland
application for a offlicence
on Ferry Rd.
Chairwoman Sally
Buck said it was “probably”
a rare move that
the board received
independent legal advice
and sought leave to fight
the appeal.
She said it was not normal for
boards to seek leave, but it was
what the residents were calling for.
“But we’re doing a good job, I
think and listening to what our
community wants. It’s clear they
don’t want another bottle store.”
Ms Buck said it would be
“interesting” to see her board’s
move set a precedent for other
boards to lobby against liquor
outlets in their community.
Riccarton Liquor Ltd’s application
was declined in May as the
district licencing committee said
the area was too “vulnerable”
and another store could lead to
lower prices in alcohol causing
an increase in alcohol-related
harm.
More than 100 objections
were submitted to the board,
including from the medical officer
of health, police, residents
and nearby Linwood
College.
There are 17 offlicences
within 1km
of the proposed site,
including six bottle
stores, two supermarkets,
four taverns
with off-licences, two
Sally Buck specialist alcohol outlets,
plus another three
alcohol outlets.
Ms Buck said Phillipstown does
not need another liquor store.
“We are busy revitalising and
re-energising our area, and there
is no place for yet another offlicence
in an already crowded
market,” Ms Buck said.
“Under-age drinking and
alcohol-related incidents and
harm undermine community
well-being.”
The application came from Steve
Crotty and Michael Scott, who
also own Liquorland Riccarton.
An appeal hearing date has yet
to be set.
Online praise for murder victim

Johnston, also known as
Oliver Greene, was a former

a funeral held at the school
last week.
“Today we farewell a really

one of a kind. You never failed
to bring a smile to our face
and light up a room. We never
could quite figure you out,
but you never failed to bring
laughs and happiness,” said
the post.
The post, made on the music
department’s Facebook page,
said there are “so many great
memories” of Ollie.
“Looking back at these pictures
we’re reminded of what
an amazing difference you
made to StAC music. Thank
you for the good times, the
music and the memories.”
An 18-year-old, who has
been granted name suppression,
has been charged over
the murder, which occurred at
a Woodend property.
He was remanded in custody

‘Eyesore’ service centre
may face the bulldozer
• By Anan Zaki
A BULLDOZER may
soon be put through the
earthquake-damaged and
graffiti-riddled former
Sockburn Service Centre.
The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community
Board last week asked city
council staff to start work
on demolishing the old
centre. Chairman Mike
Mora said the board made
its intentions “clear” to city
council staff.
“We want it removed as
soon as possible because it’s
a bit of an eyesore and it’s a
bit of a mess.”
City council head of
facilities, property and
planning Bruce Rendall
said staff were currently
working on a report in
which demolition plans
were being drawn up. “This
report will be presented to
the community board in
August,” Mr Rendall said.
At its meeting last week,
the board also voted to
retain the land on Main
South Rd which the centre
is on. “There is possibility

Centre building now sits vacant with windows

for us to continue to use
the site [after demolition]
and keep it in public hands
so that’s where we’re at this
point in time,” Mr Mora
said.
The centre was closed
after the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
One option the city
council looked at for
the site was an access
road through the land
from Main South Rd
to Blenheim Rd once
the building had been

demolished.
But Mr Mora said that
option had not been taken
further.
Greater Hornby
Residents Association
chairman Marc Duff said
the site could potentially be
looked at for a new $35.7
million community mega
centre.
“It’s really in the city
council’s hands. As a
community we’ve got to be
prepared to look at all sites
[for a centre].”

Stringer unearths relics
• By Sophie Cornish
JOHN Stringer’s archaeological
dig in Israel has uncovered
several ancient finds.
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board member is excavating
in central Israel, just south of Tel
Aviv, as part of his PhD studies.
In the past two weeks, Mr
Stringer has uncovered three
ancient serrated flint knives, two
human-worked stones, one which
may have a cribbage-type game
with five bored holes, a large
black grind stone and buckets
of Bronze Age and Iron Age
bi-chrome ware, a type of pottery
found in Cyprus and in the
eastern Mediterranean.
Many bones were also found.
On another site, Mr Stringer
uncovered a bowl that led to
the discovery of a new area,
which appeared to be an ancient
oil press production site, with
layers of collapsed shelves and
pots which were destroyed in
830BC.
“As I excavated this vessel, it
became clear there was another
one underneath and one to the
side. As we go down, I think
the next two weeks could be
extraordinary,” said Mr Stringer.
“The finds are so delicate, we
are excavating . . . with brushes,
gently brushing the dirt and dust

aside as the remains fracture and
crush so easily. It is a very slow
process.”
Mr Stringer said the biggest
difficulty about travelling to
Israel was the 40-plus deg C heat.
“We are having to adapt to the
intense heat and work, and to be
disciplined to drink five litres a
day. Several other archaeologists
have been down with dehydration
and stomach complaints, and one
has been hospitalised.”
They were also attacked by

The trip is part of an official
excavation in an Israel national
park at Tell es-Safi (the biblical
Gath, home of Goliath) under

COUNCILS across the country
will lobby for a mandatory
register of water cooling
towers to prevent the spread
of legionnaires’ disease after a
Woolston outbreak in 2005 led
to the deaths of three people.
The city council-proposed
remit passed at the Local
Government New
Zealand conference on
Sunday after 95 per cent
of members approved
the plan.
Its submission called
for annual testing of the
towers and enforcement
powers for councils to
ensure it is done. The
change would allow
health authorities to
pin-point the source of a waterbased
outbreak, and ascertain
the health of each tower to enable
early intervention.
LGNZ will now lobby central
Government to make the
change.
Legionnaires’ is a pneumonialike
infection and can be caught
from exposure to contaminated
water in air-conditioning units,
plumbing systems or cooling
towers.

19 infected with the disease,
which led to three deaths.
A subsequent coronial
investigation recommended
better regulation of industrial,
water-based cooling towers with
monthly testing and a mandatory
register.
The city council’s remit document
said the previous Government
had started work
on the recommendations,
but later paused it.
Linwood Ward city
councillor Yani Johanson
said it was hard to understand
why the previous
Government had not
taken the issue more seriously
given the loss of life
and the harm it caused.
“I am optimistic with
the new central Government
and strong support from LGNZ
there is now a good case to get
urgent action on this important
issue.”
Another Woolston outbreak
in 2015 left six people hospitalised.
Auckland Council already has
a bylaw requiring towers to be
registered and tested.
Cr Johanson said if central
Government did not act, he
would pursue a local bylaw.

Teen farmer’s burgeoning empire
GOING PLACES: St Bede’s
College student Angus
Grant with two-week-old
lambs.
Six lifestyle blocks leased; 160
breeding ewes; more on the horizon
• By Sophie Cornish
ANGUS Grant’s younger
sister Josie was not happy
when he converted her
playhouse into a chicken
coop when he was eightyears-old.
But now it has all
paid off. Angus and
his schoolmate Nick
O’Connor, won the
national Teen Ag grand
final, the high school
version of the FMG Young
Farmer of the Year.
The 16-year-old St
Bede’s College student is
a city boy hailing from
Papanui who has been
passionate about farming
since he first watched
Country Calendar when
he was three.
When he was eight,
he converted his sister’s
playhouse into a chicken
coop, started selling
eggs and there his
entrepreneurial passion
for farming began.
At his peak, he had 80
hens, homed between his
backyard and his dad’s
building yard.
“I had customers every
week, I went around on
my bike and delivered
them. I had a massive
demand for the eggs so I
didn’t have to go far to sell
them,” he said.
His ninth birthday
was different to most, his
parents got him three
ewes.
Fortunately, his friend
who owned a horse let
him graze them on his
property.
Now, Angus has 160
breeding ewes split
between six lifestyle
blocks in Rolleston,
Prebbleton and
Harewood, which he
leases.
During lambing season,
he visits the stock every
morning before school.
The boys’ teacher,
John McPhail said the
teammates complemented
each other well.
Nick hails from a West
Coast dairy farming
background and is the
nephew of Agriculture
Minister Damien
O’Connor.
“Nick’s a great
partner for the
competition because he’s
pretty good on the dairy
side and I’m pretty good
on the sheep side, so we
balance each other out,”
said Angus.
He shared his
knowledge of tractor
driving and fence building
with Angus, which helped
to secure the team first
place.
Angus hopes to attend
Lincoln University
and study Agricultural
Science or Agricultural
Commerce with the goal
of one day owning his
own farm.

A YOUNG Christchurch
entrepreneur’s company
that makes health
supplements out of New
Zealand green-lipped
mussels, to aid with joint
pain and arthritis, is going
global.
Canterbury University
graduate Ron Parks founded
his company Kōrure
through the university’s
centre for entrepreneurship
summer startup programme
earlier this year.
It produces marine phospholipid
oil capsules out of
green-lipped mussels from
the Marlborough Sounds,
North Canterbury olive oil
and vitamin E.
Mr Parks said Kōrure
was already supplied in
New Zealand pharmacies
and health stores, on its
website, and in South Korea
and China.
He said the company
was now about to expand
its channels further across
China and into Thailand.
Mr Parks, who graduated
from Canterbury
University with a Bachelor
of Commerce three months
ago, said he wanted to
change the health industry
by promoting natural New
Zealand ingredients.
He said marine phospholipid
oil had antiinflammatory
properties
that helped with joint pain

and using it to cook meals
for people.
Ms Ong, who had previously
worked in kitchens,
said the event
was for everyone,
whether they be
homeless, or just
wanted to meet new
people.
She said you
could pay as much
as you want for
your meal at the end,
which would likely be
vegetarian.
“It brings everybody back
to humanity level. It’s not a
class thing or what profession
you’re in,” she said.

showed it had benefits
for heart and respiratory
health too, being rich in
omega-3, he said.
“We have had many testimonials
from our clients
of their success in taking
phospholipid oil and improving
their joint health.”
Mr Parks said he had
always been interested in
health supplements and
staying healthy.
“I truly believe in leading
a healthy lifestyle instead
of taking medication and
going to the doctors after
falling ill and it being too
late. I believe that it is like a
warrant of fitness for your
car – precaution is better
than repair.”
Mr Parks said he had

Ms Ong would cook
with the help of volunteers
including city councillor
Deon Swiggs.
“The special menu for the
day is trust me.
“I’m going to be very
creative. I’m already thinking
I’m leaning at doing
finger food.”
Ms Ong said she was
inspired to do something
like this after other organisations
had done it overseas
and in Auckland.
Mori Mori was happy to
lend the use of its facilities
because it did not open on
Mondays, she said.
Sydenham Community
Care chairman Rik Tindall
said it was a nice initiative
and a good way of bringing
the community together.

concept.”

Tibet in Eyes
of a Tibetan
When hearing the word “Tibet”, some
people may think it as a “mysterious
paradise”. Then, let’s try to get a glimpse
of what Tibet looking like in the eyes of
Wensang Jigya, a young Tibetan born
during the 1990s.
Tibet is not mysterious.
“I believe Tibet is a most authentic ‘mortal
world’. People here need to face all kinds
of life problems as others do, experience
all kinds of emotions, and aspire to live a
better life. Tibet, like other regions, has a
rich historical and cultural background.
In the past, secret foreign travelers would
try to explore Tibet and give an account
of their travels and its history. Today there
are more and more white-collar workers
characterizing themselves as ‘literary
youths’ from metropolitans visiting
Tibet and writing series of articles that
‘unveil the mystery’ of Tibet. However,
both are bound to be subjective and
prejudiced in order to attract a target
audience, intentionally overstating or
belittling the real situation. All are obvious,
intentionally or otherwise continuing to
‘deify’ or ‘demonize’ Tibet. This gives off
an illusion to people who do not have a
thorough understanding of Tibet, and
even leads people astray.”
In response to this problem, Professor
Shen Weirong of Tsinghua University
says, “Today, Tibet is increasingly being
regarded by some people as a Pure Land
on which the dreams of the world are
placed. Tibetan Buddhist culture has
also been mythically transformed into a
miraculous cure-all, and Tibet has even
become a ‘Utopia’, the synonym for which
is Shangri-La, a word created during the
western imperialist era. This undoubtedly
hinders our understanding and
knowledge of a realistic Tibet and Tibetan
culture and creates new challenges
for us in building a New Tibet and for
preserving traditional Tibetan culture.”
The current Tibet is the most
authentic Tibet.
“Of course, any ethnic group has its own
unique folk customs and traditional
cultural heritage, which is precisely
the value and historical and cultural
background of the ethnic group. But no
ethnic group has ever avoided change;
they all advance with the times, adapt to
the developmental laws of human society
and change themselves in order to survive.
The same is true of the Tibetan people. It
is inevitable to make change on the basis
of traditions.
“In this
regard, I will
give you my
own personal
experience.
In recent
years, many
young people
from my
hometown, some of whom are my
friends, have developed an interest in
photography. Once, a friend of mine
shared a photo on WeChat of an elderly
man wearing a rather shabby sheepskin
coat. The caption reads: ‘A real Tibetan.’
Later we discussed this picture over
tea. I told him that his photograph was
indeed very good, but I really could not
understand the caption. Why is it that
Tibetans must have this image of wearing
thick clothes even in the hottest weather
and of having dirty faces and unwashed
hair? Appreciating hygiene, maintaining
the bare minimum of one’s appearance,
surely is a common trend of all mankind.
In the past this wasn’t possible, and a
high standard of living was limited in
every aspect. But there is no need to be
like that anymore. Out of the tens of
thousands of Tibetan people there that
day (and it happened to be a horse racing
festival), there were probably only very
few people who looked like that. I believe
that the real Tibetans are the majority
of those at the festival who were neatly
dressed, who had cleaned themselves up
and looked comfortable, and who are
no different from other people, because
this is the reality. We cannot ignore tens
of thousands of people and only pay
attention to one particular person.”
“Ultimately, Tibet is not as unique as
imagined. It is not a ‘paradise’, nor a Utopia.
It is a real world that is both remote and
poetic”.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Widow upset over stolen urns
• By Anan Zaki
A WIDOW is pleading for the
return of two much loved family
artefacts that were stolen.
Retired nurse Jill Walker said
she was heartbroken when two
copper urns that belonged to her
late husband of 43 years, Barry
Walker, were taken from her
Woolston home.
They were one of the few
memories left of Mr Walker,
who passed away nine years ago,
she said.
The urns were originally parts
of vintage chocolate cauldrons
from around 1975, that he
painstakingly restored.
“They were in an awful state
then, they weren’t polished and
Barry had to make it all beautiful.
“It was special for me and a
reminder of him, that’s why I’m
so upset. If they had taken anything
else . . . I would have gone:
‘Oh that’s bad luck,’ but not
those [urns],” Mrs Walker said.
The two urns were stolen
between June 16 and 20.
“I pass them every day, but
when something is so familiar
to you, you can pass it and not
realise it’s not there. So I think
it was around then that it was

stolen,” Mrs Walker said.
She planned to plant two
camellia plants called ‘donation’
in the urns because her husband
was an organ donor.
“I have never really done anything
as a memorial for Barry
and I was going to plant them
to make something special for
him,” Mrs Walker said.
The copper urns would have
been hard to steal, she said.
“I would be surprised if somebody
did it on their own. I’ve got
a station wagon and I can only
fit one at a time with the seats
down.”
Her biggest fear is that the
urns may have been melted
down, but urged those responsible
to come forward.
“That’s what I hope hasn’t happened,
the copper alone in them
would be worth $700 or $800
each,” Mrs Walker said.
Senior Constable Murray
McGusty said police are investigating
the theft.
“We would really like to return
them to the rightful owners
and ask that anyone who may
have information on where the
urns might be contacts Canterbury
police.”

information that can help
find the two copper urns,

Former Selwyn
mayor’s car
collides with cow
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
FORMER SELWYN District
mayor Bill Woods and his two
passengers were lucky to escape
serious injury after his Mercedes-
Benz, travelling at about 100km/h,
collided with a cow.
Mr Woods was returning to
Springfield from Christchurch
Airport at 1am on Thursday when
he hit the cow in the middle of
Old West Coast Rd near Waddington.
His Mercedes-Benz B200 was
moderately damaged, he and
his passengers, Keith and Helen
Taege, of Sheffield, escaped injury.
He had picked them up from the
airport.
The cow was killed.
Mr Woods said the air bags did
not activate, which in hindsight
was lucky. After striking the cow,
his vehicle veered towards a power
pole which he was able to avoid.
The car came to a stop at the side
of the road.
If the air bags had inflated he
would not have been able to see
the power pole, he said.
Mr Woods will be making
inquiries as to why the air bags did
not activate.

The Star
Blair Parkes
No chance of giving up music for a
New Brighton
musician and visual
artist Blair Parkes
has just released his
37th, 38th or 39th
album, he’s lost count.
He talks to Julia
Evans about Always
Running, the creative
process and his
experience as a Flying
Nun alumni
Tell me a bit about your new
album?
I go out to my shed every
day and try to create. In the
course of that I do write a range
of songs, some might be a bit
more introverted, some might
be quicker. In the case of this
album, it was just collecting
a group of songs that are of a
likeness. It’s a funny thing with
creativity, you sort of have a
general aim in mind, things
you’d like to draw on. It’s just
what comes out on the day. I
never really try to push anything
on the day. Writers don’t go out
and try to write a book like Jane
Eyre. I just pick up my guitar
and my paper and let something
flow. It’s a matter of working
with the ideas you have. I think
a lot of writers, including myself,
create on what they’re thinking.
It might be your own life or it
might be inspired by something
you’ve read. It was drawn to my
attention that the lyrics don’t
come from a terribly positive
place. But I suppose on the
album I’m talking to myself, in
the sense that I’m looking back
on how I got through some
things and how I might get
through things in the future. It’s
quite introverted in that respect.
One hopes there’s a connection
for other people. I don’t dig
songs that are me, me, me and I,
I, I. The song Always Running is
about the creative process, it’s
about starting with a blank page
and the need to be confident
that it will lead somewhere. It
always does. As an aside, the title
Always Running, is also very
literal because I’m a very keen
runner. Running is a lifesaver for
me, but also I live out here by the
beach. Running and swimming
play a big part in my life.
How does New Brighton play
a part in your music?
I have written quite a number
of songs about the joy of the
natural environment out here.
Some of my previous work with
the band The LEDs, we had an
album called Dunes which was
inspired by running through the
dunes. The joy that I get from
an early morning run is very
special. With the earthquakes,
I couldn’t imagine living anywhere
else. Other than the West
Coast, nothing beats where I live.
CREATING: Blair Parkes former Flying Nun band member at home in New Brighton.
Have you always lived out
there?
No, I grew up in Spreydon and
as a younger person I lived in
town for about 20 years. When
our flat was demolished, my
partner and I, Amanda, were
looking for a new place. When
you live in town you can do a lot
of things, but the only place we
used to go was out here. There
are lovely people out here and
just the environment, a lot of
people live out here for what
it has to offer. I just love it. I
wouldn’t live anywhere else in
Christchurch. I always say I’m
from New Brighton because it’s
so distinctly different to the rest
of the city.
Does your partner also work
in the creative arts?
No, which I think is quite
good. Amanda works for the
Christchurch City Libraries,
she loves her job. It’s interesting
because she’s very supportive,
but totally removed. This is my
vocation, this is what I’ve been
doing for a very long time. Up
until our son was born, I did
work part-time and full-time,
which I was always doing in
conjunction with music and arts.
When Nico was born I became
his full-time carer, any time that
I wasn’t looking after him, I’d
pick up my guitar. But I do work
every day, seven days a week, in
and around my domestic tasks. I
do all the cooking, washing and
cleaning. It’s a lovely way to live.
In terms of balance. An hour of
music, then something else so
ELECTRIC: All Fall Down (from left) – Esther McNaughton,
Blair Parkes, Brett Lupton and Campbell Taylor practising
in 1985 before they were signed to Flying Nun in 1987.
you get to recharge. I couldn’t do
seven hours of music on the trot.
I’ll sing a song and then think:
‘Okay my paint is dry, I can do
the next layer,’ then go back to
music, or do something in the
garden and cook tea. That’s the
best way for me to work, I’ve
come to that over 30 years of
what actually works for me.
What about your son, has he
inherited the artistic gene?
He’s 12 tomorrow, still at
school at South New Brighton
Primary. He does play guitar.
When I grew up, I was made to
learn an instrument against my
free will, which I’m forever grateful
for, but I didn’t really want
to put Nico through that. There
have always been guitars around
the house and just in the last six
months, everyone in his class has
got into it. It’s that peer thing,
isn’t it. I try to help him out with
music, give him tips and things
without forcing it on him. I think
it’s important that the creativity
comes from the kid.
So without music and art,
what other hobbies do you
have?
Boogie boarding, I’m really
keen on that. In summer we’ll go
four or five times a day since the
beach is only 50m away. I love
books, I’m an avid reader, especially
of New Zealand fiction. I
also really like biographies. I’ve
just read Viv Albertine’s second
book, she’s from the band The
Slits. It explored the death of
her mother, which was really
quite grim. Also running and
vegetarianism. I’ve been a vegetarian
since I was 21, but each to
their own.
You’ve been in the music
industry since 1987, how come
you’re still relatively unknown?
Oh, I don’t know if I would say
that. To the general population,
maybe. But, you know, I’m not a
terribly outgoing person, I don’t
do social media. I remember
someone saying to me nice guys
finish last, but my approach is
to put my head down and do
the work. Sometimes it gets
noticed and most of the time
it doesn’t. That’s just life. If I
wanted to make money, I would
be a plumber and if I wanted
to be successful, I would live in
Auckland. My goal is to make
a better place. If I wrote a song
that cheers someone up for a few
minutes, I would die a happy
man.
What are some career
highlights?
They’re probably mostly artistic
things. The first LEDs album
really took off. We had a lot of
music in Outrageous Fortune and
Go Girls, it is really nice to have
your stuff liked and heard. The
Range album with the LEDs was
another real high point in terms
of pushing ourselves to give everything
we have. I’m really happy
with the Always Running album.
It’s not about making money, of
course I would love to be able to
contribute financially, but the
reality is just different.

‘normal’ job
Your first band, All Fall
Down, was signed to Flying
Nun, did you know Roger
Shepherd?
Enough to say g’day if I saw
him in the street now, but he was
very busy back then. We kind of
got signed to the label through
sheer persistence. We were playing
with a lot of the bands like
The Bats who were putting stuff
out under the label. So when they
finally signed us it was really
good to be getting a record out.
It really was the record label you
wanted to be under at the time, it
sort of briefly felt like we’d made
it.
Have you got any cool stories
from the Flying Nun days?
Not really. I was an insecure
young man back then. I guess the
highlight for me was the music.
It was a really inventive period,
people coming up with stuff that
hadn’t really been heard before.
There was a great uniqueness
about it. I was just enjoying the
creativity from people from New
Zealand. That was the biggest
thing in my life. I bought records
from people I knew, which were
better than anything. Just seeing
fantastic art come from our land.
It’s a nice thing to be able to have
on my CV, people seem to notice
it. But my experience with record
companies is, what can I say,
if you’re the loud person in the
room, maybe it works.
Did you think about giving up
music for a ‘normal’ job?
I’d never give it up, but I certainly
have my highs and lows.
It’s very hard to get noticed. I’ve
heard there are 200,000 songs
that hit the internet every day
and I don’t have the money to
push myself. That can be difficult
when you think something’s
great, but it’s just luck and who
you know. Your motivation can’t
be success, it’s an artistic goal. I
want to write a better song, do
a better painting. So I do worry
that younger kids go into these
things with a career goal and
I don’t know that it’s the best
motivation. But before working
on music full-time, I worked in a
library and I was a car groomer.
What do you make of the
Christchurch music scene now
compared to when you first
started?
It is very different since the late
80s and 90s. A lot of people play
in a lot of different bands. The
live thing is quite a lot harder.
When I first started playing gigs
in 1984, there were only a few
pubs you played in – like the
Hillsborough and the Gladstone
– and bands would play there
Thursday night, Friday night
and Saturday night, you’d get
paid and a lot of people would go
along. Through the 90s and up
until the earthquakes, The Dux
was incredibly supportive for
bands and central for a night out.
You’d go to the Dux and watch
and band and that would just be
the start of the night. But now,
you go to the Darkroom run by
the amazing Marcus Winstanley
and stay there, you’re not going to
walk anywhere else. I think the
post-quake geography thing has
changed the music scene quite
dramatically. A lot of people did
move away.
What advice do you have
for any young struggling
musicians?
Just keep doing it, keep
pushing it. Be yourself. Don’t
worry about the other stuff, if
you want to be creative that’s
your goal. I really don’t want to
come across a bitter because I
reached my happy place in terms
of what I expect out of music
and art. My friends like what I
do. My mum’s thrilled. It’s just
such a buzz. Everyone wants
to be noticed, but the art is the
important thing.

Preserving Lyttelton’s
history for the future
THE HISTORY of Lyttelton
and the harbour area is set to
be digitally preserved.
The Lyttelton Museum has
received a $108,000 grant from
the Lottery Environment and
Heritage Committee to scan
thousands of historic images
relating to the harbour area and
community.
The museum’s collection
has been in storage since the
earthquakes, when the entire
collection was rescued from its
historic premises on Norwich
Quay.
Currently concept designs
for a new museum building in
Lyttelton are being developed
by architects Warren &
Mahoney.
Said museum collections
team lead Lizzie Meek: “We
are absolutely delighted
that we will be able to scan
and preserve our wonderful
collection of historic images.”
“Not only will this protect
our fragile originals, but we
will also be able to make the
pictures available in our online
collection, so they can be
accessed easily by anyone with
an internet connection.”
Meanwhile, the museum
team is working on a range
of pop-up exhibitions and
projects to bring the collection
back to the community in
innovative ways. The image
digitisation project is one of
these activities.
The project will involve
checking, scanning,
cataloguing and re-housing the
entire collection of negatives,
prints, albums and artworks,
and is expected to take at least
a year.
Museum society president
Liz Grant said: “We hope the
community will add their
stories and knowledge to the
images through the online
comment feature, and we’re
excited to see what new stories
come to light.”

Progress on EQC claims
SINCE BECOMING minister
one of my biggest areas of focus
has been sorting out the EQC
and insurance issues.
Seven years on we still have
more than 3000 EQC claims still
to be resolved.
That’s why we’re making
changes to speed things up – a
new chair, new case management
systems, a physical review of all
claimant files to ensure data is
correct, hiring more staff and
establishing a claimants’ voice
panel to improve the culture of
the organisation.
We’re starting to see progress,
with hundreds of claims now
being resolved every month, but
we know there’s more work to
do.
One thing that will help is
for every EQC customer to
have their own case manager to
reduce duplication – one point
of contact instead of having
to call up and speak to a new
person every time. I’m happy to
see that we are on track for every
Christchurch person dealing
with EQC to have their own
case manager by the end of the
month.
We’re also working on giving
EQC more flexibility to pay
above its statutory cap in the
interests of speeding up claims.
Politics
Megan Woods
We’ve put more money into independent
support for claimants.
For more difficult cases, work
is under way on establishing a
tribunal to settle claims. Money
to fund this work was put aside
in May’s Budget.
On the very complex issue
of on-sold over-cap properties,
EQC is working with local
lawyers to identify suitable
claims for test cases to clarify the
law and untangle the legal mess
that has trapped people. This isn’t
an easy process but legal clarity is
the only way through.
We are making good progress
on establishing an independent
inquiry into EQC’s handling of
the Canterbury claims and will
be able to say more in the coming
months.
Seven years on, we know
there’s no silver bullet but we are
making changes and there will
be more to come.

CONTROVERSIAL: The pavilions proposed for Cathedral
Square have received criticism.
A reader responds to
the Christchurch Civic
Trust’s view that the
pavilions proposed for
the Square would detract
from the Christ Church
Cathedral
Patrick
Kennedy – In
response to
the negative
feedback on the
pavilions,
I personally
think they are
a fantastic idea.
The design is
bold and contemporary, standing
in contrast to the heritage of
the Cathedral. It’s important to
remember that every era comes
with its own architectural style
and that cities are evolving all
the time, adding new buildings
with new styles to complement
the old. The Cathedral is from
its own Neo-Gothic
era, and to create a
new “heritage-style”
structure in that
style would be the
ultimate in disrespect
to the heritage buildings
that have gone
before. Also, building
in a style that is not
concurrent with the
common style of
building at any point in time is
very, very, very expensive.

Christchurch has maybe
one building of any reasonable
architectural significance
on a global scale (and that’s
because it’s a ruin), and this is
our chance to build something
amazing and ground breaking
and to boost our city’s tourism
appeal. How many people go to
Sydney purely to see the opera
house? We could do our own
masterpiece, but we need to be
bold, rather than dismissing
every idea because of this outdated
“English garden town”
idea that no longer applies.
Readers respond to

column last week
in which she said
ratepayers “had a right
to know” the cost of
the controversial $1.24
million central library
touch wall
Hamish Middleton – So
she believes $1.24 million was
a good purchase price. Wow.
I’d be investigating exactly how
the purchase was researched,
tendered and authorised. Who
was at the table in the first
instance and said ‘you know
what, let’s buy a million dollar
TV for our library’?
Wendy Anne Cornish –
That is absolutely a ridiculous

amount of money to spend
right now in the current
climate with everything else
Christchurch needs done.
What were the mayor and
council thinking agreeing to
that purchase at this time?
Jeremy Maxwell – Waste
of money is what it is, surely a
television isn’t that expensive?
I get the technology and
program to run it wouldn’t be
cheap but it is still a huge cost
to the city council and they
know nothing of it.
David Simons – So we
had a right to know. Then why
did the money-wasting council
try and hide the cost for so
long – spin doctoring, damage
limitation?
Marilyn Vicary – This is
a waste of money at this time.
It could have been installed
in the future when matters
become more settled. How
dare the mayor justify this and
other unnecessary purchases
then approve the immediate
ratepayer increases and the
future ones as well.
Stephan Lance
Gardiner – You’re
all complaining about
something that would
absolutely be required in this
day and age in a main library.
In fact I think it would be a
very stupid decision not to.
And if you think it’s high then
clearly you have no clue about
what stuff costs. There were
many things considered for
interactive use. But ultimately
this was the cheapest and best
option.
Mayor
Lianne Dalziel
Taking a stand
against plastic
PRODUCT stewardship, the
circular economy, advance
disposal fees – these phrases may
mean nothing to you now, but
when we take an honest look at
how much single-use plastic we
produce, use and then dump,
we are going to have to look for
solutions.
At the Local Government
New Zealand conference hosted
in Christchurch this week, we
endorsed a remit to tackle singleuse
plastics, like supermarket
bags and plastic straws. It is estimated
that New Zealanders use
1.6 billion single-use plastic bags
each year, with each bag used for
an average of 12min before being
disposed of. But they are just the
tip of the iceberg.
If you didn’t see Sunday on
television last weekend, I suggest
you do so. What an eye-opener.
The minister of conservation
challenged us to rethink the
phrase ‘throwing rubbish away’.
She said there is no mythical
‘away’ – the rubbish has to go
somewhere.
At the conference we also decided
to work with Government
on recycling. In Christchurch,
we have our own company Eco-
Central, which takes care of our
recyclable waste. As a result, we
have been buffeted from the true
cost of disposal – until last year
when world prices plummeted
in the wake of China’s decision
to close its doors to the world’s
waste.
New Zealanders produce per
household on average threetonne
of waste every year.
It has to go somewhere and we
will have to pay the price. We can
do our bit by rejecting single-use
plastic ourselves.

Travel
A sense of calm prevails in Singapore
Known for its
remarkable skyline
and penchant for
cleanliness, Singapore
is so much more than
a stopover city. Kate
Preece reports
FROM THE moment you land
in Singapore, an ironic sense of
calm descends.
While the country boasts a
population of 5.79 million, it remains
easy to wander the streets,
attend the top tourist attractions,
and visit the hottest bars without
bursting that bubble of personal
space – most of the time.
I hadn’t been to this intriguing
country before, which is why I
was surprised to feel so at home.
Here, in South-east Asia, you are
made to feel welcome through
how easy it is to communicate
and the willingness of all you
meet to help you out.
I had been told it was a particularly
safe destination for
women, and, after spending
three action-packed days traversing
Singapore city, I believe this
to be true.
Publisher Charlotte Smulders
and I were hosted by Singapore
Airlines to experience a new
Christchurch-Singapore route.
While on the ground in Singapore
we were determined to find
the must-see places this island
has to offer.
What follows are a few of the
highlights.
Singapore Flyer – It’s
Singapore’s version of the
London Eye and it’s well worth
a whirl. We had one of the 28
(4m x 7m) capsules entirely
to ourselves and enjoyed the
slow circuit that reached 165m
(42-storeys) high at its peak.
On Asia’s largest observation
wheel you can also step things
up a gear with the Premium
Champagne Flight, Singapore
Sling Flight, or Sky Dining
Flight.
Sentosa Island – Consider
this the Gold Coast of Singapore
– albeit with a significant military
history element. Here you’ll
find everything from Universal
Studios, Madame Tussauds, and
the S.E.A. Aquarium, to a 47m
(17-storey) A.J. Hackett bungy,
indoor skydiving and one of
South-east Asia’s steepest zip
wires. You can see why families
choose to make this their base,
staying in one of the many hotels
that make up Resorts World.
However, Sentosa, in Malay,
means ‘peace and tranquillity’
and to truly find this it’s straight
to Tanjong Beach Club you go.
While Palawan Beach has the
title of southern-most point of
continental Asia, the quietest of
the beach clubs goes to Tanjong.
That’s not to say this Europeanflavoured
locale is without atmosphere
– momentum will do
nothing but build as the hours go
by. But, in the meantime, if you
are happy to head there during
the daylight hours, gather your
friends, secure yourself a lounger
($53, redeemable on food and
drink), and offer yourself up to
the sun, while sipping on your
favoured drop.
Singapore safari – Go wild
at any of the island’s wildlife
parks. Singapore Zoo is set in
the lush Mandai rainforest;
River Safari is, not surprisingly,
river-themed, with the stars of
the show being the manatees and
giant pandas; and Night Safari
will have you cruising past lions,
tigers, elephants and more, under
a cloak of darkness. All three
attractions are ticketed individually
and within walking distance
of each other.
Gardens by the Bay
– Be you a botany boffin or
simply happy to stop and smell
the roses, you’ll find yourself
HIGHLIGHTS: The
Singapore Flyer
is well worth
a whirl. Left –
Gardens by the
Bay features tree
towers which
are engulfed in a
light and sound
show which is a
must to see.
entertained at one of Singapore’s
most iconic attractions.
However, the trick to planning
your visit to the 100ha nature
park, is to not go until at least
4pm. This gives you enough
time to jump on an audio tour,
wander through the various
displays, and head down to
Satay by the Bay for a cheap and
cheerful dinner, before getting
back, tout de suite, to secure
your spot to watch the Supertree
Grove take on a whole new life.
For 15min, at both 7.45pm and
8.45pm, the 22m plant-encrusted
tree towers are engulfed in a light
and sound show that no visit is
complete without.
Hawker Centres –
Traditional Singapore fare will
see you eating satay chicken
skewers, laksa and chilli crab.
What you will quickly discover,
at any of the 100 hawker centres
around town, is that to eat from
these areas is to eat on the cheap.
Consider them outdoor food
courts, with not a McDonald’s
in sight. They provide an opportunity
to be adventurous and
try things that perhaps you’ve
never heard of … or just stick to
the chicken and peanut sauce.
You can’t really go wrong, as one
of the other great things about
Singapore is that it is clean. If
it’s sounding a bit out of your
culinary comfort zone, both
Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken
Rice and Noodle, and Hill Street
Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, have been
awarded Michelin stars. And
you’re still talking about dishes
that start at $3.
Three Singapore facts
1. You’ll need an umbrella. Yes,
it’s warm, but a downpour can
happen at any stage.
2. Taxis are cheap. Travel
between 9.30am and 5.30pm and
you’ll be pleasantly surprised
by the final flag fall. (There is
an increase of 25 per cent after
5.30pm, and 50 per cent from
midnight onwards).
3. Raffles is not your 2018
destination. The legendary
hotel is currently closed for
restoration, set to reopen at
the end of the year. If you truly
can’t leave the island without
that Singapore Sling, they’re
being served at the nearby popup
Long Bar (next to the gift
shop).
How to get there
For direct flights from
Christchurch – without even a
stop in Auckland – it’s Singapore
Airlines or bust.
From January 8, this route
will be covered by the new
Airbus A350, a nextgeneration
aircraft with all the
trimmings.

Christchurch bartenders
among the best
Four Christchurch bartenders are
among the best Heineken beer
pourers in the country.
They will be among 16 finalists to
compete in Heineken’s perfect pour
competition national final to be held
in Auckland in September.
Tereza Bojanovska, of Fiddlesticks
(above), No. 4 Bar’s Reece Gardiner,
Cocopelli’s Sarah Louise Kearney
and Joshua Irving of Morrell & Co will
compete in the final.
The winner will then go on to
represent New Zealand in the global
finals to be held in Amsterdam.
The competition is part of Heineken’s
Star Serve programme which is
designed to guarantee the quality of
Heineken on draught.
As part of that programme, it has
been running a national competition
to find the best bartenders with
Heineken ambassadors helping to
judge their pours.
They are scored on five steps: Rinse,
Pour, Skim, Check and Serve. In each
step there are multiple elements to
complete to serve a good Heineken
beer.
A Heineken spokeswoman said when
Gerard Heineken founded his brewery
in 1864 he made a promise to himself
to offer nothing but the highest
quality beer.
“After more than 150 years, our
ultimate aim is still to ensure that
Heineken on draught always has
the best and the same taste for
consumers everywhere around the
world.”
Bailey Nelson to
open in central city
Australian eyewear retailer Bailey
Nelson is opening a second store
in Christchurch. It will open in The
Terrace development in the same
building as Westpac on July 27.
Bailey Nelson already has a store
in Westfield Riccarton, which is
currently the only one in the South
Island. The Cashel Mall store will
offer eye tests, frame adjustments
and optical and sunglass styling.
Treasure Box by
Biani expands
Merivale Mall’s Treasure Box by
Biani has expanded and reopened
in a newly-refurbished space. The
boutique store now offers more
clothing with brands such as
Camilla and Marc, Mia Fratino and
Mavrick & Mere. It comes as part of
Merivale Mall’s extensive upgrade,
which has seen stores such as
Dyrberg Kern, Redcurrent and
Silvermoon open in the mall, and
other tenants move into different
spaces. Clothing at Treasure Box by
Biani will help fill the gap Rouche
has left after closing last month.
What’s
for lunch?
Grain Coffee and Eatery
19 Southwark St
Tucked down a side street in the
southern end of the central city is an
inconspicuous cafe you could walk right
past if you didn’t know it was there.
Grain Coffee and Eatery is based in the
lobby of Qb Studios on Southwark St,
and the minimalist premises has little
signage outside to guide you in.
But with a small kitchen menu
offering brunch options, a colourfully
stocked cabinet and Allpress coffee, it’s
worth a visit.
I had a received a recommendation
to try one of the grain bowls, but after
eyeing up the other sandwich and wrap
options I nearly changed my mind.
It was essentially a tasty bowl of
goodness filled with quinoa, salad,
falafel, hummus, roast pumpkin,
spinach and other healthy ingredients.
However, watch out because it’s the
type of wholesome lunch that’s almost
too good for you, you leave craving
something more.
Thankfully, there’s sweet treats in the
cabinet to choose from and the coffee
on the side was perfect.

ROAST CHICKEN AND
AGRIA POTATOES
Ingredients
1 whole free range Rangitikei
chicken
1 lemon, halved
1 tsp salt
10 agria potatoes, peeled and cut
into 3-4cm chunks (use up to 12,
depending upon the size of your

Gardening
The dirt on dianthus
• By Henri Ham
EVERY MONTH I try to write
about a couple of different plants
that can be planted at the time of
writing.
I hope to share some information
you might not know about
and give some practical advice
on how to plant them. This
month I’ve decided to dish the
dirt (so-to-speak) on dianthus.
Dianthus (often called pinks)
is a hardy cottage-garden flower
ideal for planting in borders.
This cheerful plant will be
sure to provide you with many
months of colour in your garden
because, unlike many other
flower varieties, you can plant
it all year round. If you get your
dianthus plants in the ground
now they will do some nice
growing through the rest of
winter and be ready to flower in
spring.
In fact, two weeks ago I did
just that – planted some confetti
dianthus around the outside of a
pot, and origami pink and white
aquilegia in the middle. Come
spring the pot will be a colourful
and bright welcome next to my
front door.
Right, some more dirt on
dianthus. It produces smallerthan-average
flowers, that look
like they have been cut with
shears, on strong upright stems.
And the flowers are fragrant and
make excellent cut flowers for
bright indoor arrangements.
There are three different varieties
of dianthus seedlings available
– the confetti I just mentioned,
blueberry and mixed.
Confetti grows to about 20cm
high and produces a variety of
flowers in lively colours. It’s ideal
for growing in pots, hanging
baskets or borders of gardens.
Blueberry grows a little bit
taller to around 25cm and its
flowers are a rich, violet colour.
Its petal edges are jagged – looking
lacy and frilled.
Lastly, our bundle of mixed
dianthus seedlings grows to approximately
20cm and produces
VIVID: (Clockwise) – Dianthus confetti grows to about
20cm. Dianthus Diana blueberry has a rich violet colour.
Confetti is quite happy to grow in pots.
larger, ruffled carnation-like
blooms in a vibrant mix of orange,
red, pink and yellow.
Now, how to plant. To create
a cottage garden feeling in your
garden, I recommend planting
an assortment of dianthus
varieties in close proximity – at
around 30cm spacings. Their
dense evergreen foliage keeps
bushy all year long and when
planted they cover bare spots
quickly.
Dianthus cope fine with frost
so you can plant them just about
anywhere. Look for somewhere
sunny with good drainage. Ideal
companion plants to grow with
dianthus are marigolds, roses,
petunias, and livingstone daisies
because they all like the same
conditions.
Once established, dianthus
are easy to maintain. They are
rarely struck by pests or disease
and just require a little bit of care.
In around spring, they will
begin flowering and continue
throughout summer. Regular
trimming of the dead growth (just
cut back a bit to encourage new
growth) and removing the dead
heads will reward you with two to
three sets of blooms and encourage
a denser crop of flowers.
Lastly, on a culinary note, did
you know dianthus flowers are
edible? They make great decorations
on cakes or bring colour to
salads.
An oregano occasion
• By Henri Ham
WITH WINTER well and truly
here, casseroles stews and soups
are a staple in our kitchen.
To add freshness to these
somewhat heavy meals, I love
to use fresh winter herbs like
oregano. I treat oregano in winter
like I treat basil in summer –
throwing it in with all things
tomato based.
Oregano is a perennial (it lasts
longer than two years). And, if
regularly trimmed and cut back
in early spring by one third, it
will return and produce for years.
It is a pungent and spicy herb
and I’m a fan of its slightly bitter
taste. However, the potency of its
leaves can reduce after three to
four years, so at home I replant
every few years.
Planting oregano is easy. Plant
seedlings in compost rich soil
or in pots close to the kitchen.
Remember to use potting mix if
you’re planting in pots or containers.
Short on space? Consider
vertical planters to keep a variety
of herbs easily accessible. Just
make sure to hang them in a
sunny spot.
When growing oregano consider
companion planting it next
to your cabbages or cauliflower.
Companion planting involves
planting two plants in close proximity
to mutually benefit each
other through attracting certain
insects or keeping other insect
pests away. This method of planting
is particularly popular with
gardeners wanting to avoid the
use of sprays or chemicals.
Once you’ve planted your

oregano give it a gentle watering
in. You probably won’t need
to water it much at the moment.
But when the weather warms
up, water two to three times per
week – give a good soaking to
encourage deep rooting. But
don’t worry too much as oregano
is a hardy herb and very forgiving
if it gets neglected.
Once its growth is established
try drying some sprigs. Simply
tie bunches together and hang
upside down on the porch, or
indoors in a paper bag. Cut a
few holes in the bag and hang
upside down until dried through.
This will take one to two weeks.
Once dry, run your fingers up the
stalks to easily remove the leaves
and store in jars.
Oregano is one of the better
herbs at retaining flavour potency
when dried. To get maximum
strength out of the leaves, harvest
just before it flowers. Remember
one dried teaspoon is equal to
one fresh tablespoon of herbs.
We all know about adding
mint to summer cocktails, but
have you tried hot herb teas? Add
a sprig of oregano to a cup of
hot water for a refreshing winter
change, especially if you’re trying
to cut down on caffeine.
And, when the warmer weather
approaches add oregano fresh
to salads. The more you chop it
up, the more flavoursome it will
be. Oregano can be used in pasta
and pizza sauces, bolognese, and
on top of herby bready rolls.
So, whatever the season you
can always find an occasion for
oregano.

QUESTION

GARDENING
ADVICE with
Are there any new ways of ridding oxalis from your veggie garden?
Oxalis is a bulbous weed which is
very problematic. Once it is in
your garden, the bulbs multiply
and spread very easily.
Over the years there have been a number of herbicides
produced that can kill oxalis, however they have always
been non-selectors, killing surrounding vegetation.
They’ve also had considerable soil residual problems
meaning you could not grow plants, especially
vegetables in the same area for a considerable time
afterwards.
Unfortunately, the only effective way to get rid of oxalis
is to remove all of the bulbs by hand. Admittedly, it’s a
tedious task but well worth doing.
Divide the area up into sections then dig down
20-30cm and sieve the soil to catch all the bulbs.
Alternatively, you can dig up the area, pen it off and put
chickens in there. Be sure not to transplant the soil to
other areas of the property as it will only take a few
bulbs to start the problem again!
Once all the bulbs have been removed, replenish the
soil with Daltons Garden Time Compost and Garden
Time Planting Mix.

ADVERTORIAL
The Art of the Arborist
So often we turn up to a property
and the trees have been attacked by
someone, with little to no knowledge
of the needs of the tree. Unfortunately,
this can severely decrease the life
expectancy of the trees.
Tree pruning is both an art and a
science. An arborist’s job is to assess
trees on their individual merit and
determine what approach is needed for
each tree.
The art of pruning means an arborist
can improve a tree’s aesthetics and
structural integrity, whilst making the
tree safe and manageable. When on a
job, there are occasions where we do
advocate that a tree needs removing,
either because it has been pruned
poorly in the past, or the tree would
need severe pruning to reach the
owners desired outcome.
The science behind tree pruning
draws on knowledge, experience and
expertise to ensure that tree health
remains a top priority.
Every tree needs to be pruned
differently, for example, you can’t prune
a Maple the same as you would an Oak.
Sometimes there are options available
rather than simply topping a tree.
An arborist may suggest elevating the
lower canopy to let light in underneath,
removing deadwood and thinning
(increases airflow around tree and
increasing light to still keep shape
and health of tree), or possibly end
weighting (removing weight) from
selected limbs.
Our favourite clients are the ones that ask
us if it were my garden, what would I do
to the trees. This gives us the freedom to
immerse ourselves in the garden and get
the best result for the client.
Often, we like to do the primary
work (obvious work) first, and then
the secondary work becomes more
apparent.
Consulting an arborist or tree surgeon
and investing in your trees can add
value to a property, not to mention
enjoyment to the owner. Alternatively,
trees that are poorly looked after could
have the potential to become a liability
for the owner.

MEMORIES: Avon Rowing Club members Ray Flanagan, Warren Blazey and Dave Husband

from the 1972 gold medal-winning eight. (Below) – Mr Blazey (back row, second from left),

members work to
restore and display
some of the
club’s proudest
memorabilia.
The club was
formed in 1861 as
the Trades Rowing
Club before
changing their
name in 1864 to
Avon. They had
to build new,
temporary facilities
on their Kerrs Reach site in
the red zone in 2012 after their
previous building was severely
damaged by the earthquakes.
But the club remains in a state
of flux until a decision is made
about what will happen to their
land.
As a result, much of the
memorabilia was in storage, with
some of the oars at the Commodore
Hotel. The club has one of
the richest history’s in New Zealand
rowing and memorabilia
relating to some of the biggest
names is going back on the walls.
The wooden boat in which
Avon duo Rangi (Fred) Thompson
and Bob Stiles won a silver
medal in the men’s pair at the
1932 Olympics sits high up in the
rafters.
It was New Zealand’s first
Olympic silver medal, and was
won in dramatic fashion. With
600m remaining, the Kiwi pair
had pulled away from the Polish
and Dutch teams and were putting
pressure on leaders Great
Britain.
Then a stay on the stroke rigger
broke. The New Zealand boat
swung around immediately off
its course and the stay dragged in
the water. Fortunately, the pair
were able to right the boat and
claim second.
An oar used by club members
Athol Earl and Trevor Coker in
the gold medal-winning New
Zealand eight at the Munich
Olympics in 1972 rests above the
oar used by George Keys in his
bronze medal row with the Kiwi
coxed four in Seoul in 1988.
Photos of brothers George and
Ted Lindstrom and Dave and
Humphrey Gould hang on the
walls to illustrate their national
dominance as a combination in
the 1940s.
Mr Blazey also has memories
of a young Eric Murray. Murray,
who formed a dominant combination
with Hamish Bond until
2016 in the men’s pair, spent two
seasons at Avon as an under-23
rower in 2001, trying to crack the
New Zealand squad.
Mr Husband said a social
function in February acted as the
starting point to get past members
back and involved with the
club. “We all have time on our
hands now that we are retired,”
Mr Husband said.
“When we joined the club, a
lot of the older members were
working hard to keep the club
going and help out the club, and
that’s what we want to do,” Mr
Flanagan said.
“We want to put back into the
club what we have got out of it
over the years,” Mr Husband
said.
The trio have had some laughs
over the years raising funds
for the club. They remember
planting asparagus plants as
teens and almost getting blown
away by the north-westerly. They
also recall raffling off a pig in a
wheelbarrow in 1969 to get funds
for a new boat.
“We’re all past presidents of
the club, all life members and
we want to see the club’s history
celebrated,” Mr Husband said.
“The reality is these are
temporary clubrooms and
until someone comes up with an
answer that’s what we’ll have,”
Mr Flanagan said. “The ultimate
goal would be to have permanent
club rooms again and have a
museum-type aspect to it that we
can show this sort of stuff.”
Club president Trudy Keys
husband George was in the
bronze medal-winning four
in 1988. She said it was time
to celebrate the history of the
club to current and future
generations.
The club is affiliated with nine
Christchurch high schools and
has 500 members. It has three
current world champions in
Olivia Loe, daughter of former
All Blacks prop Richard, a 2017
world champion in women’s
double sculls; John Storey in
the double sculls; and Grace
Prendergast in the coxless pair.
All will be eager to add an oar,
photo or Olympic medal to the
clubrooms in the years to come.

New chapter for Burleigh boys
• By Gordon Findlater
NEW BRIGHTON’S Burleigh
legacy entered a new chapter at
the weekend.
In November, Phil Burleigh
was part of the Scottish team
that thrashed Australia 53-24 at
Murrayfield.
On Saturday the second
five-eighth returned to his roots
to help New Brighton defeat
University in a must-win game
to reach the Hawkins Cup semifinals.
The 31-year-old turned out for
his boyhood club after returning
home from a four-year stint
with Edinburgh.
And he wasn’t the only
Burleigh named in Brighton’s
team – younger brother Matt
came off the bench to play at
half-back during the match
making it the first time the pair
had played together.
“It was brilliant . . . Matt’s
nine years younger than me.
I thought one day we might
eventually get a chance to do it,
but it was special to finally do
it,” said Phil.
Their father Wayne Burleigh
played 269 matches for New
Brighton’s premier team, something
Phil, 48, and Matt, 32,
aren’t even close to combined.
Wayne earned 48 caps for Canterbury
playing as a midfielder
during the 1980s shield era.
Now Phil, 10 years after
thinking the dream of
following his in his dad’s
footsteps of playing in red and
black were over, will get the
chance to make his Canterbury
debut after signing a one-year
contract with the rugby union
THERE WILL be no ‘pussy
riot’ at AMI Stadium during the

Those keen enough to wake up
for the FIFA World Cup final on
Monday morning would have
witnessed the group of pitch invaders
– a Russian protest punk
rock group called Pussy Riot –
dressed as police officers.
It’s been a while since we’ve
seen a streaker at a home
Crusaders match and there’s a
reason why . . .
Have you ever seen security
guards chasing one another
across a rugby field emulating
the kind of chase they would
put on in the event of a pitch
invader? It’s rather entertaining.
Well this is the sight you’ll see
about two hours before kick-off
at every Crusader’s home game.
The guards will position
themselves around the ground
like they would be during the

campaign.
However, before that opportunity
come’s he has a blazer on
his mind.
Phil is just two games away
from receiving a New Brighton
blazer for reaching 50 premier
games for the club. If he is to
reach 50 Brighton will need to
beat Christchurch in Saturday’s
Hawkins Cup semi-final.
“Fifty would be brilliant.
Most of my career I’ve looked
up to my dad so to get to that
mark would mean a lot,” said
Phil.
“This is where I started my
rugby as a four or five-year-old.
It’s a club that’s moulded me
into the player I am . . . I’ve

one end of the pitch to the other
while attempting to avoid the
pursuit of the other guards.
As someone who has been
early enough to witness this I
can confirm it is one of the most
entertaining sight’s I’ve ever
witnessed at AMI Stadium.
Stand down the current
half-time entertainment of kicking
for cash and a marketing
campaign disguised as families
putting together a house made
of cushions. I want to see the finest
in the Christchurch security
industry display their skill set
against one another.
It’s not just the Crusaders who
have been upping their contact

around the world, it never quite
means the same as when you’re
playing for the club where it all
began.”

through until 2008. He had a
season in the Canterbury squad
without playing a game and
moved to Bay of Plenty for the
2009 NPC season at the age of
21 in search of more opportunities.

levels heading into the business
end of the season either . . . while
enjoying the security sprint (I’m
sure we can come up with a better
name if we make this a halftime
show) on Saturday things
quickly turned from entertainment
to concern. Just like rugby
every now and again a tackle is
going to result in an injury.
“I think they’ve dislocated
their shoulder,” one guard
shouted to another as their mate
lay on the ground after a solid
tackle.
Perhaps word has got around
about how serious the security
guards have become at AMI,
is this why we haven’t seen any
streakers of late?
INTERNATIONAL: Phil
Burleigh spent four years
playing for Edinburgh in
the Pro 14 competition and
earned a Scotland cap in
2017.
Following his stint with Canterbury
later this year Burleigh
will return to Super Rugby with
the Sunwolves in Japan, linking
up with his former Highlanders
coaches Tony Brown and Jamie
Joseph after signing a two-year
deal with the franchise.
“I haven’t actually spoken
to them yet to be honest, but
I assume Jamie and Tony had
something to do with it.”
Burleigh is also hopeful of
adding to his one and only
Scotland cap and is hopeful he
may be able to play himself into
contention for the 2019 World
Cup in Japan.
“I’m still eligible to play for
them. If my body holds through
then I’ll definitely put my hand
up.”
The last instance at a Crusaders
match was during the
match against the Stormers on
March 3. Combine Canterbury
University orientation week and
a dedicated student stand and
you have the perfect streaking
recipe. There were two – one
legitimate streaker and one not
quite dedicated to the cause – in
quick succession.
This was the turning point. At
the next home game the ‘security
sprint’ began and with it the
step-up in deterrence and skill
of our guards.
The only instance since was
a solid effort at the Warriors
match last month. Not even
the skills of a naked league fan
experiencing the ecstasy of his
sports once a year spot in the
Christchurch limelight was
enough to allude the red and
yellow army.
Be warned, if you try a ‘pussy
riot’ at AMI you will be taking
on a well drilled unit.

Ruapuna not included in
Toyota Racing Series
Mike Pero Motorsport Park,
Ruapuna will miss out on a round
of the Toyota Racing Series this
summer. It’s understood the series
organisers and the Canterbury
Car Club were unable to come
to an agreement over the hiring
of the circuit, with the series
organisers seeking to change the
terms of the agreement. Ruapuna
has hosted a round of the TRS
for the past four years which has
also doubled as the Lady Wigram
Trophy race.
Armstrong clings
to F3 lead
A second and fourth place
finishes were enough for Marcus
Armstrong to maintain his lead
in the Formula 3 European
Championship. The 17-year-old
racer finished fourth at the
first race of the weekend at
Circuit Park Zandvoort in the
Netherlands, before finishing
second in race two. In the third
and final race of the weekend
Armstrong came home in 16th,
not scoring any championship
points. With 18 races remaining
in the 30-race season Armstrong
leads the championship by one
point from China’s Guanyu Zhou.
Nu’u signs with
Rugby Southland
Sydenham centre Ray Nu’u has
signed with Rugby Southland
for the 2018 Mitre 10 Cup. The
20-year-old came to prominence
during his time during his time
at St Andrew’s College, where he
had four years in the first XV. He’s
been a member of the Crusaders
wider training group for the past
three years and trialled for the
New Zealand under-20 team.
Nu’u will finish the club season
for Sydenham before joining
Southland for the pre-season.
200-game milestone
for Black Stick
Canterbury hockey player Olivia
Merry has notched 200 games for
the Black Sticks women’s hockey

over Germany in her milestone
match at the Four Nations Cup in
Munich.
Cashmere Technical

Cashmere Technical have
advanced to the quarter-finals of
the Chatham Cup after defeating
Dunedin’s Roslyn Wakari 2-0 at

From halfback to starring at fullback
• By Gordon Findlater
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
School have an emerging star at
fullback – and it’s not even his
preferred position.
It was a spur of the moment
decision that led to Max Hughes,
16, signing up for the CBHS
rugby trials in year 9. The move
has seen him show off his talents
in the No 15 jersey in the UC
Championship.
But when filling out his paper
work for the trials, he was asked
to write down what his second
position was. He had only ever
played halfback, so Hughes
wrote down fullback thinking
nothing of it.
“They ended up playing me at
fullback during my first trial and
I scored a hat-trick so I ended up
playing fullback all of year 9,” he
said.
“It wasn’t until year 10 when
I had a chat with one of my
coaches and explained I’m actually
a halfback.”
The 16-year-old spent last season
as back-up to highly-touted
halfback Louie Chapman. With
another season as the understudy
on the horizon, Hughes
has managed to gain more game
time at fullback, which is now

Maumalo returns as Warriors brace for Storm
• By Dale Budge
THE WARRIORS welcome back
winger Ken Maumalo in the only
change to the line-up that belted
Brisbane for Sunday’s clash with
the Melbourne Storm at Mt
Smart Stadium.
The Warriors return to their
home patch for the first time
in more than three weeks to
face the side that embarrassed
them on Anzac Day and get the
towering Maumalo back to help
kick-start their sets with some
strong carries.
Maumalo’s return from a minor
knee injury means Peta Hiku
drops to the bench.
Hiku responded well against
the Broncos after a shocking performance
a week earlier against
the Panthers. Gerard Beale
retains his place in the centres.
In a major boost for the side,
prop Bunty Afoa has been
included on a large interchange
bench.
He injured his elbow in the
loss to Cronulla three weeks ago
and had been expected to be out
for at least another week or two.
Afoa has enjoyed an impressive
season for the Warriors,
predominantly coming off the
bench, and has been passed fit
to play.
Prop James Gavet will play
his 50th first grade match. He
debuted for the Bulldogs in 2012
but managed just one game
with the club before making a
move to the Wests Tigers. He
added 12 appearances with them
before moving to Brisbane for an
injury-interrupted stint.
He will make his 36th
appearance for the Warriors
against the Storm. The Warriors
sit in seventh on the NRL ladder
while the Storm are second – the
two sides are separated by just
two competition points with a
log-jam of sides in the top eight.

• By Christopher Reive
WINNING THEIR final match
of the Super Rugby season, the
Sharks locked away the eighth
seed. Their reward? A trip
to Christchurch to meet the
Crusaders in the quarter-finals.
The Crusaders haven’t looked
like losing a game since the
Highlanders put them away on
March 17. But when Saturday’s
do or die play-off match arrives,
count the Sharks out at your
folly. There’s something about
facing New Zealand franchises
that brings out the best in them.
The side travelled to New
Zealand twice during the regular
season and put on the best of
their performances away from
home against Kiwi opposition.
They put 63 points on the
Blues at Eden Park, then fell agonisingly
short against the Hurricanes
in Napier – with an Ihaia
West sideline conversion more
than 5min after the hooter had
sounded giving the Hurricanes a
one-point win.
At home, the Sharks were
dominant. Winning six of their
seven home fixtures, they got
the better of both the Chiefs and
the Highlanders along the way.
Of their seven wins this season,
three came against Kiwi teams.
Unlike many other teams, the
Sharks drawing a Kiwi franchise
in the opening round probably
wasn’t the worst case scenario for
them. In 24 matches against New
Zealand sides since the beginning
of 2013, the Sharks have
a 12-12 record. They will also
bring confidence in being the
only South African team to have
beaten the Crusaders at home
since 2001, and one of only two
non-New Zealand teams to win
in Christchurch in the past five
Super Rugby seasons.
Travelling to Christchurch for
a knock-out match is a daunting
task for any side, especially
given the form the Crusaders are
currently in. The hosts will go in
as the clear favourites – as well
they should – and will probably
come out with the win. However,

Honda Odyssey a
car for all the team
ONE OF my work
colleagues wandered over
to my desk the other day,
he said something like:
“Have you got the soccer
team ready?’’
It took me a few seconds
to think what he was referring
to, but then the penny
dropped and I realised he
was making reference to
the multi-purpose peoplemover
I had in the car park,
a Honda Odyssey to be
exact.
Yes, you could take half
the soccer team in the
Odyssey, its seven-seat
configuration is a handy
feature for those with a
large family, or carrying
a car load of kids to any
event. They don’t have to
be kids either, the Odyssey
is cavernous, seven adults
can carried easily, and if
numbers really matter to
you as a buyer, the Odyssey
also comes in entry-level
form with eight seats, more
for less so to speak.
The evaluation car was
the Odyssey LS (L Sensing)
which includes a raft
of new electronic kit for
2018, it is priced at $53,900,
which is a bargain given its
luxury-like level of specification.
For interest’s sake,
the eight-seater lands at
$45,900.
Both models have been
refreshed for 2018, there’s a
bit of a facelift cosmetically,
and adornments which
provide a better aerodynamic
package along with a
more pleasing look aesthetically.
Inside, there are new
seats, which are even more
sumptuous than before,
more storage compartments,
and new trim on
the doors and instrument
panel.
However, the Odyssey
hasn’t lost sight of its design
concept, it is still the quintessential
people-mover.
The central row of seats
have a lengthy distance of
adjustment, even laterally,
the rear row of three raise
from below the floor level.
Leather trim is utilised
throughout, with heated
seats up front. Other major
features include satellite
navigation, electric sunroof,
electric sliding side doors,
tri-zone climate control,
paddle shift automatic gearbox
selectors, a multitude
of seating configurations,
and plush décor.
While that seems impressive,
what sets the 2018 Odyssey
apart from previous
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
HONDA ODYSSEY: Choice of seven or eight seats.
generation models is the
addition of a Honda Sensing
suite of driver-assist
safety features. Each feature
has its own abbreviation
which looks like an alphabet
soup of acronyms, but
spelt out they include adaptive
cruise control, forward
collision warning, collision
mitigation braking, lane
department warning, road
departure mitigation and
lane keep assist.
• Price – Honda
Odyssey LS, $53,900
• Dimensions –
Length, 4845mm;
width, 1820mm;
height, 1695mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
2354cc,
129kW, 225Nm,
continuously variable
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.5sec
• Fuel usage –
7.8l/100km
All of the changes contribute
to a safer and fresh
feel. The Odyssey is a lot
more dynamic without
losing sight of its key role.
I particularly like the low
load area in the rear, effectively
it means you don’t
have to lift heavy objects
far from the ground to get
them into the cargo section.
The Odyssey also feels
tighter on the road, it is
more car-like to drive, and
those on board are treated
to a quality ride.
Under the bonnet sits
a 2.4-litre four-cylinder
engine. It is a unit which
finds its way through a lot
of Honda product, but it
has been constantly refined
to the point where it is still
state-of-the-art and perfect
for the Odyssey’s role.
Honda rates it at 129kW
(6200rpm) with 225Nm of
torque at 4000rpm.
Drive is channelled
through a seven-step
continuously variable
transmission. It’s taken me
a long time to accept CVT,
but in the Odyssey the
combination works well
with its seamless ratio flow
and ability to let the engine
work unimpeded.
That, of course, has a
beneficial effect on fuel
economy. The Odyssey LS
is rated with a 7.8-litre per
100km (36mpg) combined
cycle rating, which fitted
well with the trip computer
readout during the time
I had the test car. It
constantly sat at around
9.4l/100km (30mpg) with
an instantaneous figure
of 6-8l/100km available at
100km/h (engine speed
1700rpm).
Honda strives to make
fuel usage savings a high
manufacturing priority,
so features in the Odyssey
such as idle stop-start and
economy mode are there so
that fuel usage is kept to an
absolute minimum.
I took the evaluation
car on my usual highway
loop through to Hororata.
The Odyssey is quiet and
composed, dispensing
the kilometres easily and
promoting an easy driving
experience. The seats
are cocooning, and with
electric adjustment up
front, minute changes can
be made to get the driving
position exact. And that
can be said of all the seats,
the Odyssey LS is a true
luxury car.
While sport utility vehicles
have almost put paid
to the traditional peoplemover,
full marks must be
given to Honda for keeping
the Odyssey available and
affordable.
If you look at the preowned
market, Odyssey has
a huge presence, and given
the newcomer will be with
us for a long-time yet, that’s
only going to make it more
appealing to those who need
to transport that soccer
team or other large groups.

What to ask at an
open home
It’s easy to get carried away when you’re searching through property listings for the
house of your dreams. But if you’re not careful, home buying can become a nightmare.
“Buying a property is a complex and
potentially stressful process, not least
because it involves such a scary amount
of money,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith,
chief executive at the Real Estate Agents
Authority (REAA).
“It’s smart to do as much as you
can to reduce the risk of unwelcome
surprises or unexpected costs further
down the line.”
In the first instance, Lampen-Smith
recommends drawing up a list of
questions to ask about properties you’re
interested in.
“Remember that you can ask the real
estate agent anything you like about
the property,” he says. “They are also
required to tell you everything they
know and not withhold any details.”
If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s
a handy list of questions. Open homes
can be busy, so ask the agent if you can
talk on the phone, or send questions via
email.
- Have there been any issues with the
property, such as earthquake damage
or water-tightness?
- Are there any offers on the property,
or have any contracts been cancelled
by potential buyers?
- How long has it been on the market?
What is the seller’s preferred
settlement date?
Home & Property appears every Thursday, delivered FREE
throughout Christchurch
For more information and bookings, contact Mike Fulham
M: 021 300 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi
- What maintenance, repairs or
improvements have been carried out?
Do these have permits?
- Is there a Land Information
Memorandum (LIM) available or
a building report prepared by an
accredited property surveyor?
- Is the property well-maintained?
What condition are the roof, piles,
wiring, and plumbing in?
- Is the property insulated? If so, to
what degree (eg walls, underfloor,
ceiling)?
- Is there any risk of methamphetamine
(P) contamination?
- If there is a body corporate (usually for
apartments), what does that entail?
- Are there any issues with neighbours
or planned developments?
“If you are seriously considering
making an offer, you will need to
do your own research and seek
professional advice. It may well become
your home, so you need to know
as much about it as possible to save
unhappy surprises later,” Lampen-
Smith says.
“Knowing the right questions to ask is
a good starting point.”
