$500k for red zone feedback 

• By Julia Evans 

NEARLY $500,000 was spent on 

consultation on the future of the 

red zone, it can be revealed. 

Just over 2000 people ended up 

giving detailed formal feedback 

on what they wanted the land 

used for. 

In comparison, the city council 

spent less than $3000 on its 

consultation for the $10 million 

Christ Church Cathedral grant 

on three public notices and 1063 

submissions were received. 

The Red Zone Futures exhibition 

cost $485,910, Regenerate 

Christchurch chief executive 

Ivan Iafeta said. 

“There are always costs 

involved with public engagement 

but, given the scale and 

long-term significance of our 

work, we believe this investment 

is important to ensure our work 

is informed by the views and 

aspirations of the community,” 

Mr Iafeta said. 

He said the five-week exhibition 

and engagement was one of 

the “most significant” public engagements 

since the earthquakes. 

Mr Iafeta said the money was 

spent on interactive displays, 

the design and printing of the 

panels, lease and fit-out of the 

exhibition space in Cashel St, 

an online version of the exhibition, 

the travelling exhibition, 

printing and advertising, project 

management, and ambassadors. 

The exhibition ran from May 

26 until June 30 before feedback 

was analysed by global information 

and measurement company 

Nielsen. 

It was visited by 8100 people, 

as well as 9800 face-to-face 

interactions and 10,000 visits to 

the website. 

A total of 3700 people 

completed the surveys and 

2118 of those were detailed 

feedback, which was analysed 

by Nielsen. 

New Zealand Taxpayers’ 

Union founder Jordan Williams 

said there is “huge irony” about 

the amount spent.

Beached 

boat for 

sale 

• By Sophie Cornish 

IF YOU want a yacht, there is one sitting 

on New Brighton beach. And it could be 

yours for not much more than a $1. 

The 12.5m cutter rig beached last 

Wednesday and has been sitting near 

the pier since. 

Owner Sean Grant, listed the vessel on 

Facebook Marketplace yesterday, saying: 

‘Beached as Bro – as is where is.’ 

Mr Grant declined to talk to The Star 

yesterday about how the yacht became 

beached. 

But well-known New Brighton identity 

Kerry McCammon, said Mr Grant, who 

had been en route from Wellington, told 

him he thought he would run out of 

diesel before he got to Lyttelton. 

Mr McCammon said Mr Grant had 

arranged for a friend to go to the pier 

with fuel.

MINIATURE coffins mourning 

the loss of creativity have 

been anonymously sent to 

organisations and people around 

the city. 

The small, wooden coffins have 

a plaque on the front that reads: 

“In loving memory, Creative City 

2010-2018, What might have 

been.” 

A spokeswoman said the city 

council and the Christchurch 

Art Gallery received coffins 

anonymously. 

But she said the council was 

not investigating the matter any 

further. 

SCAPE Public Art also received 

a coffin. Executive director 

Deborah McCormick said 

she thought it was a “witty form 

of satire” on the city council’s 

decision to scrap the public art 

fund in its Long Term Plan. 

She said she had heard a number 

of coffins had been 

sent out. 

“The organisers have 

gone to quite some effort 

to pull off a rather well 

thought-out dig, if you’ll 

excuse the pun.” 

Another had been sent 

to former Mayor Garry 

Moore’s son Johnny, who 

he co-owns Smash Palace 

with. 

Each coffin was sent from a 

different address, including at 

least one from SCAPE Public 

Art and one from Smash Palace’s 

address. 

“I think it’s very, very clever 

and they’re extremely well made. 

I wouldn’t have scrapped it. I 

even offered in my Tuesday Club 

write up to undertake 

to find $10 million 

in savings from the 

council’s operating costs 

and my fee would be 

restoring the fund,” Mr 

Moore said.

However, when Mr Grant 

got to New Brighton Beach his 

friend wasn’t at the pier. 

The matter was complicated 

further when Mr Grant’s cell 

phone would not work so he 

couldn’t call the friend. 

Mr Grant then tried to put the 

anchor down, but this failed. Mr 

McCammon said Mr Grant then 

jumped overboard and swam to 

shore and the vessel beached. 

Mr Grant was treated at

On Facebook, Mr Grant said 

anyone wanting to purchase the

and functional plan” prepared 

for its removal. 

“If you are not serious or 

don’t have a plan please don’t

St Bede’s College inquiry steps up 

Board of 

trustees 

meets over 

allegation 

AN INVESTIGATION is under 

way into why a teacher was 

allowed to continue working at 

St Bede’s College after sexual 

abuse allegations surfaced 

against him. 

In spite of confessing to 

sexually abusing Peter Boock 

in the 1960s, former St Bede’s 

teacher Robin Pettit was allowed 

to continue 

teaching at the 

college until 

retiring in 

2015. 

An 

Education 

Council 

spokeswoman 

Justin Boyle 

said yesterday 

it had “received 

a complaint about the matter 

recently and we are in the early 

stages of an investigation”, but 

would not comment further. 

Mr Boock’s concerns 

regarding the school’s reaction in 

light of the abuse being revealed 

was considered at a meeting of 

the St Bede’s board of trustees 

on Monday, reported Radio New 

Zealand. 

A St Bede’s spokeswoman told 

The Star yesterday the college 

was unable to comment due to 

the matter being investigated by 

the Education Council. 

Mr Boock told St Bede’s rector 

Justin Boyle of the abuse in 2011, 

and is calling for Mr Boyle’s 

resignation over his inaction in 

light of the claims. 

Mr Boock said he had hoped 

for an admission by Mr Boyle of 

a “profound error of judgement”, 

and that the board of trustees 

would have acted on that. 

“Mr Boyle enabled a selfconfessed 

child sex abuser to 

keep teaching boys at the school. 

That is indefensible,” Mr Boock 

said. Mr Boock told the Otago 

Daily Times earlier this month 

that Mr Pettit had abused him in 

Dunedin over a period of about 

nine months between 1967 and 

1968. 

Mr Boock was 13 at the time, 

while Mr Pettit was a 19-year-old 

student. 

While Mr Boock revealed 

details of the historic offending 

to Mr Boyle in 

2011, Mr Pettit 

was allowed to 

remain at the 

college for four 

more years. 

The decision 

was defended by 

Mr Boyle, who 

maintained the Peter Boock 

proper process 

had been followed and accepted 

by Mr Boock at the time. 

The Network of Survivors 

of Abuse in Faith-based 

Institutions and their supporters 

are also calling for Mr Boyle to 

resign over his handling of the 

allegations. 

Group spokesman Murray 

Heasley said it was “untenable 

for Mr Boyle to continue in 

his duties” after he enabled the 

confessed “child sex offender to 

continue teaching students.”

Questions raised on location for 

A new multi-purpose 

arena is one step 

closer as $220 million 

of Government 

funding was approved 

by the city council 

last week. Stewart 

Barnett, a key player 

in the development 

of Dunedin’s Forsyth 

Barr stadium shares 

concerns about 

the Christchurch 

development and tips 

for success. Julia Evans 

reports 

FUTURE: A 25,000-seat covered stadium is being planned for Hereford, Tuam, Madras and 

Barbadoes Sts. 

A KEY player in the development 

of Forsyth Barr Stadium 

has questioned whether 

Christchurch’s proposed $500 

million stadium will be built in 

the right place. 

“Location is paramount,” 

Stewart Barnett says. 

Mr Barnett challenged whether 

the designated three blocks 

bound by Hereford, Tuam, 

Madras, and Barbadoes Sts was 

right. 

“Eight or nine years ago people 

with the best will in the world 

planned out a city after an earthquake, 

but that should be a living 

document, should evolve as our 

city evolves and should not be 

cast in stone.” 

“I do think there is 

a problem building a 

stadium in residential 

areas, just look at Eden 

Park. You’re creating 

problems,” he said. 

Now based in 

Christchurch, Mr Barnett 

was a trustee on the 

Carisbrook Stadium 

Charitable Trust and 

project director for the 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School rebuild. 

In 2016 he was made an Officer 

of the New Zealand Order of 

Merit. 

Stewart 

Barnett 

He was guest speaker at former 

Mayor Garry Moore’s Tuesday 

Club this week. 

He said the stadium’s design 

in the pre-feasibility 

study was also to be 

questioned. 

“Like most people I 

thought we were building 

a modern multipurpose 

stadium that 

would be used for sport 

and art and was basically 

a replacement of Lancaster 

Park. But when I look 

in the paper, it looks like 

a performing arts centre that will 

occasionally hold some sport.” 

Mr Barnett said the success 

of Forsyth Barr was that it was 

not designed to be an indoor 

stadium. 

“Otago was not looking for an 

indoor stadium at all, we set out 

to build an outdoor stadium with 

a fixed roof.” 

However, it was making sure 

the cost to the ratepayer was kept 

to a minimum drove the Forsyth 

project, he said. 

“We set out with a budget 

for $198 million all up and we 

wished to build the actual cost 

of the stadium for $165.4 million 

. . . we actually delivered at $167.9 

million which annoyed 

the hell out of me because it 

wasn’t precise, it was 1.3 per 

cent wrong. The reason you get 

annoyed is because its not your 

money, it’s the ratepayers’.” 

Mr Barnett said the simplest 

way of thinking about it was 

breaking the figure down into the 

cost of the stadium divided by 

seats – $500 million divided by 

25,000. 

“We monitored ourselves on 

price per seat. It is the most simple 

calculation. Basically Otago 

came in $7200 per seat. Presently 

we’re looking at $20,000 per seat 

in Christchurch.” 

Forsyth Barr was funded by the 

Dunedin City Council, the Otago 

Regional Council, the Government, 

Otago University and the 

Otago Community Trust. 

“The regional council put in 

$37.5 million. These stadiums are 

regional stadiums and basically 

we sold the stadium on Waitaki 

south. We had funding and 

support from Queenstown and 

Invercargill because they knew 

if they didn’t, they would have 

to travel to Christchurch to see 

any rugby or concerts or sport or 

anything.” 

“The DCC was required in 

the finish to fund $146.5 million 

so that was what the ratepayers 

funded. That’s a very important 

number when you look at what 

the project did and achieved.”

city’s new stadium 

Meanwhile, the Christchurch 

ratepayer is facing a bill of about 

$253 million with taxpayers then 

footing the additional $220 million 

from the Government. 

Of Canterbury’s regional 

councils, only the Selwyn District 

Council has puts its hand 

up to contribute. Waimakariri 

and Hurunui remain cautious. 

But Mr Barnett said those 

councils were necessary. 

“You’ve got a problem, the 

stadium is for the enlarged area. 

It’s not a Christchurch stadium, 

it should never be a Christchurch 

stadium. So its involving everyone. 

We want the money from 

everywhere we can find it.” 

However, said the inner-city’s 

design “does not want rural 

money” by making it too hard to 

drive into and park. 

Mr Barnett said as well as regional 

councils, national experts 

should be utilised to save costs. 

“When Dunedin looked at 

building a stadium, we went to 

Wellington who were the last 

people who had built a stadium 

and said: ‘Look, would you second 

someone onto our committee 

and tell us what we shouldn’t 

do’.” 

He said that way, no one spent 

money unnecessarily. 

CROWD-PLEASING: Stewart Barnett led the committee 

which oversaw Forsyth Barr Stadium’s development. The 

stadium has since brought in more than $200 million to 

the Dunedin economy. PHOTO: PETER MCINTOSH 

“We have a lot of knowledge in 

New Zealand and we have to use 

that knowledge to ensure that 

Christchurch doesn’t pay for it 

again because everyone else has 

already paid for it,” Mr Barnett 

said. 

It is also key to investigate 

different models to help pay back 

the stadium. 

“There must be other models 

and I think it’s up to Christchurch 

to look and see what other 

models are out there to pay off 

projects where not everybody is 

going to use them all the time.” 

He said a recent stadium built 

in Jacksonville, Florida, put a 

levy on drinks, food and ticket 

prices, which went directly into 

paying for the stadium not the 

council coffers. 

“In effect the users paid the 

stadium off.” 

Mr Barnett also suggested a 

large scale event rate for bars, 

restaurants and hotels, which are 

the main benefactors of stadiums. 

But they should also invest 

before the stadium is finished. 

“We raised in the community 

$45.5 million – the biggest 

private raising ever . . . it clearly 

indicates that the private sector 

has to come to the party and 

shows itself willing to commit to 

at least a five-year horizon, if not 

further,” he said. 

Dunedin now has a world-first 

grass-turf multi-purpose stadium 

that has brought in more 

than $210 million in economic 

benefits in the last seven years. 

It has piped Christchurch 

in securing concerts such as 

Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Ed 

Sheeran, Pink and Kendrick 

Lamar, as well as national and 

international sporting events. 

About 60 to 70 per cent of tickets 

were sold to people outside of 

Dunedin. 

“We built it for the community 

and the community have found 

that they use it,” Mr Barnett said. 

“Stadiums have been around 

the world for years, look at the 

Colosseum. Basically they bring 

people together to share moments 

and make memories.” 

But he said he did not want 

to be involved in developing 

Christchurch’s stadium. 

“There are a lot of intelligent 

people working on it,” Mr 

Barnett said.

animals. 

An annual event, the animal 

blessing service is a time when 

the Cathedral bravely opens its 

doors and is “farmyard-friendly.” 

Anyone with an animal or pet can 

go and join in the excitement of 

many creatures all in one place, as 

long as they are on lead or in an 

appropriate container or cage. 

The service will include joyful 

music about animals and the 

congregational songs will be 

well-known favourite hymns. In 

conjunction with SPCA, this is 

a chance to give thanks for the 

delight and love that pets and 

animals bring to our lives. 

“We give thanks for the blessing 

of companionship that animals 

and pets provide, and for all that 

working animals do for the human 

race,” says Lawrence 

Kimberley, Dean of the 

Transitional Cathedral. 

Humans and animals will all 

receive a prayer of blessing before 

they leave the Cathedral. 

The event will take place at 

10am.

Stonewood directors face reckless trading 

More details have 

emerged over the 

High Court action 

involving the collapse 

of Christchurch-based 

Stonewood Homes. 

Daisy Hudson reports 

QUEENSTOWN Mayor 

Jim Boult and the founder 

of Stonewood Homes Brent 

Mettrick are facing claims to 

pay more than $28 million over 

the collapse of the construction 

company, amid allegations of 

reckless trading. 

Both Mr Boult, who was a director 

of the company, Mr Mettrick 

who was managing director, 

deny the claims. Mr Boult said he 

acted in “good faith” as a director. 

Stonewood went into receivership 

on February 22, 2016, owing unsecured 

creditors $15 million. 

It was later placed into liquidation. 

About 110 home buyers 

were affected by the collapse. 

High Court documents show 

Mr Boult, who was Christchurch 

Airport’s chief executive for five 

years until he left in late 2013, 

and Mr Mettrick are accused of 

three counts of breaching their 

duties as directors. 

It is claimed the pair allowed 

companies to continue trading 

while insolvent, and Mr Boult 

“actively dissuaded” Mr Mettrick 

from accepting another buy-out 

offer, while making offers himself 

at the same time. 

The $28,369,000 civil suit was 

lodged in the High Court by 

liquidators Rhys Cain and Rees 

Logan. 

They are also claiming 

$267,592.20 from Mr Boult, alleging 

his director remuneration 

was unauthorised and unfair. Mr 

Mettrick is being sought for an 

additional $1,814,273.

New Zealand Ltd and Holmfirth 

Group Ltd. The liquidators allege 

the group of companies traded 

from February 2014 while facing 

financial difficulties. 

These include insufficient 

working capital, extended build 

times, warranty and remedial 

issues and franchisees failing to 

pay franchise fees and causing 

reputational damage. 

The claim states “from approximately 

December 1, 2014, 

and certainly by March 31, 2015,” 

continued trading was likely to 

cause “substantial risk” to creditors, 

but the directors allowed it 

to continue. 

In his defence Mr Boult denies 

the allegations, denies the companies 

were insolvent for several 

months as claimed and said he 

did not make an offer to buy the 

company. 

He determined it was “reasonable” 

for them to continue 

to trade given funding and/or 

investment opportunities were 

“being actively explored” which 

would “alleviate the group’s 

financial challenges.” 

Four parties were considering 

investment in 2015 – Philip 

Carter, Guoxin, INNO and 

Warwick Isaacs/Mr Boult, the 

claim reads. 

Mr Boult admits he initially 

expressed “scepticism” about the 

likelihood of Guoxin investing. 

Neither Guoxin nor Mr Carter 

Jim Boult 

made an offer. 

He said what the claim described 

as a “final offer” from 

INNO was not in fact an offer, 

and was “not capable of acceptance 

as alleged.” 

Mr Mettrick said the INNO 

proposals were not conditional 

offers. Mr Boult also denies making 

an offer to Mr Mettrick with 

Mr Isaacs, who was appointed 

chief executive of the group on 

March 31, 2015. 

He said he was involved 

in submitting several “heads 

of agreement” (non-binding 

documents setting out key 

terms) in January 2016 which 

proposed a purchase by Denali 

Management Ltd or its nominee.

What happened to the cat? 

Torture 

inquiry kept 

in-house 


SPCA CANTERBURY is 

refusing to release information 

about its investigation into 

teenagers who might have 

tortured and killed a cat. 

In August, The Star reported 

the SPCA was 

investigating 

a video posted 

on social media 

that appeared to 

show two youths 

torturing and 

killing a cat. 

Barry 

Helem 

Marianne 

Macdonald 

The video 

was posted by 

a 16-year-old 

girl who was a 

friend of the two 

youths that were 

the focus of the 

investigation. 

As a result of 

the video, the 

trio faced an online 

backlash. 

One of the 

youth’s parents said her son had 

been victim of “horrendous and 

disgusting abuse.” 

SPCA southern region general 

managerBarry Helem said it 

would not discuss the investigation 

because of the negative impact 

on the families and youths 

involved. 

“We are really not willing to 

make any more comment on 

that, because of that. We are going 

to keep it in-house,” he said. 

The investigation has been 

completed. Mr Helem refused to 

say if the investigation had determined 

if the cat was tortured 

and killed. 

Animal welfare group SAFE’s 

head of campaigns, Marianne 

Macdonald, said the number of 

young people abusing animals is 

increasing. 

“Every animal organisation is 

very concerned these instances 

are on the rise . . . it is being accentuated 

by social media making 

these videos shareable.” 

Ms Macdonald said cases like 

these highlight what she believes 

is a “huge gap in our education 

system.” 

“I feel very strongly that we 

need compulsory humane education 

. . . we are putting out the 

messages that bullying is unacceptable 

in schools and communities 

and that compassion needs 

to be extended to animals.” 

SAFE is trying to expand its 

programme in secondary schools 

called Animals and Us, which 

is designed to develop values of 

empathy and compassion. 

Currently, 170 secondary 

schools in New Zealand are 

actively using resources provided 

by SAFE.

Secret of the Botanic Gardens 

• By Matt Salmons 

SOMEWHERE in the Botanic 

Gardens is one of the world’s 

rarest plant species. 

So rare in fact that its location 

is top secret. 

Department of Conservation 

threatened plant ranger Daniel 

Kimber said the reason is to 

minimise the risk of people 

stealing the plant, which 

is called Canterbury pink

“It’s stunning. Imagine a 4m

A small yellow flower found

Castle Hill. 

There are only 52 left and 

they only grow in limestone

Habitat loss, pests and 

invasive weeds are the biggest 

threats to the buttercup. 

Mr Kimber said a hareproof

Castle Hill cost $100,000 and 

last year DOC spent $50,000 

maintaining the area by hand

ADVERTORIAL 

“I enjoy village life immensely” 

Leicester ‘Jock’ Burney, 89, 

resident at Anthony Wilding 

Retirement Village, loves nature. 

So much so, that when he saw 

the Port Hills from the window 

of the show home, he decided 

to buy that townhouse on the 

strength of the view alone. 

A month later, in April 2018, 

Jock moved into his new home. 

Jock came from a farming 

background. He was born in 

Dareld, but his father lost the 

farm during the depression years. 

“We ended up in 

Christchurch, and my father 

became a salesman,” says Jock. 

But farming was in his blood. 

After leaving school, Jock bought 

his grandfather’s old farm. 

“My parents lived on the farm 

with me, and my father helped 

out where he could,” says Jock. 

“I farmed cows initially, 

but because I had to spend so 

much time xing up the farm, 

I changed to sheep and crop, 

mainly Lucerne.” 

After marrying a wonderful 

girl from the back country, Jock 

settled into the farming life. 

Together with his wife, Velma, 

they had two daughters; Judith 

and Kaye. 

“About 17 years ago I 

subdivided the farm and sold it 

to various people, but I retained 

10 acres for my own house, and 

17 acres for a house we built for 

my younger daughter, Kaye,” 

Jock says. 

“After my wife passed away 

I battled on, and my daughter 

helped me out where she could.” 

However, after a few medical 

experiences cropped up, Kaye 

became concerned about her 

father living alone, even if it 

was only a few minutes away 

from her. 

So, Jock made the 

decision to start looking at 

retirement options. 

“I decided to take the burden 

off her shoulders and that I 

would be better off here (in a 

Jock loves his townhouse at Anthony Wilding Retirement Village with views of the Port Hills 

retirement village),” Jock says. 

“Both the girls are very happy 

that I am at Anthony Wilding.” 

Anthony Wilding village 

ticked all the right boxes for 

Jock and his family, as the 

village provides a full range 

of retirement options and a 

continuum of care, which offers 

the best of resthome, hospital 

and dementia care. 

This means that an 

independent townhouse 

resident, like Jock, can move 

into a serviced apartment or 

to the resthome, hospital or 

dementia care centre, if they 

need more assistance. 

The village also boasts resortstyle 

facilities, which include 

an all-weather bowling green, 

indoor heated swimming pool, 

spa, internal atrium, library, 

gymnasium, hair and beauty 

salon, bar and shop. 

Anthony Wilding Sales 

Advisor Claire Poulsen, says 

there are many advantages to 

living in a Ryman village with a 

continuum of care. 

“It means that residents can 

be independent when they are 

able, and if they need it, care 

can be tailored to their specic 

needs,” she says. 

“The Ryman Difference is 

what really makes us stand 

out. We have nine guarantees, 

which include a xed weekly 

fee*, continuum of care, 90-day 

money back guarantee*, and 

our deferred management fee 

is capped at 20%.” 

The village is also located 

close to the city centre and 

Hornby Mall, with great 

views of the Port Hills and 

Southern Alps. 

“We have a fantastic culture 

here,” says Claire. 

“There is always something 

to do, new people to meet 

and interesting activities to 

participate in.” 

“I look forward to the 

Happy Hours especially,” 

Jock laughs. 

He also helps out at the bar 

at the serviced apartment 

Happy Hours. 

“You quickly learn that most 

of the women like wine, and 

most of the men like beer!” 

Sales advisor Claire Poulsen and Jock 

The whole experience for 

Jock has been stress-free. 

“I enjoy village life 

immensely, honestly I think 

I should have been here ve 

years ago!” 

“I am very comfortable, very 

happy and very relaxed.”

Social housing meth testing 

costs ratepayers $326,000 


MORE than $326,000 

of ratepayer money 

has been spent on 

methamphetamine 

contamination in social 

housing units. 

But while the 

Government’s Gluckman 

report revealed there is 

no evidence of harm from 

contamination, the city 

council is continuing to 

test for the drug. 

City council head of 

facilities, property and 

planning Bruce Rendall 

said at the start of the 2017- 

18 financial year, 

12 social housing 

units were closed 

for contamination 

after testing for 

methamphetamine 

began in mid-2016. 

A further 18 were 

closed during the 

year. 

“Twenty three 

of these units were 

remediated or decontaminated 

during the year, with 

the remainder in early 

2018-19,” Mr Rendall said. 

The total cost was 

$326,472. 


A NEW group has been 

established to help develop 

a Regeneration Plan for the 

inner east of the central city. 

Members of the group 

have been chosen as people 

with a special interest in 

the area, being able to advocate 

and provide advice 

to advance the interests of 

the area. 

The group will participate 

in discussions to 

develop and implement the 

revitalisation plan for the 

area bordered by Madras 

Bruce 

Rendall 

“We fully expect with 

the recent guidance on risk 

from the Prime Minister’s 

chief science adviser (the 

Gluckman report) that the 

number of units 

closed and the costs 

will decrease,” Mr 

Rendall said. 

Following the 

release of the report 

in May, the city 

council reopened 

all but one unit that 

had been closed. 

However, the 

assisted housing 

annual report said as an 

interim measure the city 

council has continued an 

approach where it tests 

for methamphetamine 

at a change of tenancy or 

St in the west and Linwood 

Ave in the east, a city council 

report said. 

Members include city 

council head of urban 

design, regeneration and 

heritage Carolyn Ingles,

before major works. 

“If methamphetamine 

is found, units are washed 

before being returned to 

service. This approach 

aims to provide assurance 

to tenants, particularly 

during this period where 

community understanding 

needs to be reset and 

the relevant New Zealand 

Standard is under review 

(as signalled by the Minister 

for Housing Phil Twyford), 

while still avoiding 

the costs of full remediation,” 

the report said. 

A unit will still be closed 

and cleaned if there is a 

suspicion that the unit has 

been used for methamphetamine 

manufacturing, 

it said.

Music teacher strikes right chord 


JUDITH BELL couldn’t imagine 

her life without music. 

And the teacher’s passion led 

to her being named a finalist in 

the inaugural Music Teacher 

of the Year category at the 

Vodafone New Zealand Music 

Awards. 

Mrs Bell has headed up the 

Chisnallwood Intermediate 

School music programme for 20 

years after “falling into” the job. 

“I originally thought I would 

be a composer and an arranger 

. . . but I started out voluntarily 

teaching music when my first 

son came here. Then I thought 

I’d stay there a year and I haven’t 

left since.” 

In that time, the programme 

has grown 10-fold from 25 pupils 

and one teaching room to a 

multi-million dollar performing 

arts block with 16 teachers and 

more than 200 pupils. 

“It’s a surprise, but over the 

last 20 years the school has 

developed a reputation. That was 

really valuable when the school 

was threatened to be closed after 

the earthquake,” Mrs Bell said. 

The plan was for Chisnallwood 

to close and merge with Wainoni 

Primary, Avondale Primary, 

Aranui Primary and Aranui 

High to become Haeata Community 

Campus. 

But the school made a not-sosilent 

protest in the face of then

Mrs Bell, along with the 

orchestra and choir, put on a 

performance for Ms Parata to 

highlight why the school should 

not be closed. 

“We had a surprise performance 

set up in the foyer. We 

played

Galaxy voyage at Canterbury Museum 

WALKING INTO Canterbury 

Museum will soon take you on a 

journey through the stars. 

Christchurch artist Hannah 

Beehre is creating a sculptural 

installation, Tunnel, which will 

lead visitors into the Wildlife 

Photographer of the Year 

exhibition through a nebula. 

Nebulae are clouds of gas and 

dust in outer space visible in the 

night sky, and are created where 

new stars are formed, while 

others are the remnants of dead 

or dying stars. 

said. It was a memorable moment 

of her teaching career. But 

it is the day-to-day highlights 

that are her biggest motivation. 

“I really like being able to 

make things better, like helping 

the kids play their songs better 

and then seeing the results 

through their development.” 

She said she didn’t think 

intermediate was the age she’d 

be teaching when she first 

started. 

“It’s good to discover 

music in the intermediate 

years. It’s when I first 

really started playing. 

They can be quite hard, 

but can be the best 

years,” she said. 

Mrs Bell said she 

has loved music 

her whole life. 

She first 

started 

playing 

piano 

Beehre’s Tunnel is constructed 

from dyed silk velvet with 

Swarovski crystals, LED lights 

and mirrored flooring. 

There is a subtle visual 

tension between the fluidity 

of the dye work, the highly 

refractive crystals, and the rich, 

light-absorbing surface of the 

textile. 

It is Beehre’s first large-scale 

installation and creates an 

illusion of total immersion 

through the inclusion of the 

mirrored floor. 

and guitar in primary school, 

but really found her passion 

when she learnt clarinet in intermediate. 

“Then I learnt brass just so 

I could be in the brass band 

at high school. I wrote for the 

orchestra and went to Canterbury 

University to study music. 

I didn’t even think about my 

career, I just knew I wanted to 

learn music.” 

A second work by the artist 

Orion will be hung in the 

museum foyer. 

“Every year brings new 

opportunities to explore new 

works in new sites across this 

city,” said ChristchurchNZ chief 

executive Joanna Norris. 

“This is provocative, inspiring 

and essential. It challenges and 

stimulates our people and those 

we welcome here.” 

Beehre’s installation is part of 

the SCAPE Public Art Season, 

which runs from October 6 to 

As well as leading Chisnallwood’s 

music department, Mrs 

Bell is the president of Music 

Education Canterbury, where 

she co-ordinates music at organisations 

such as Canterbury 

University, Ara Music Arts and 

the Christchurch School of Music. 

She is also on the board of 

Music Education New Zealand 

Aotearoa. 

Whoever nominated her 

remains a mystery. “I don’t know 

who nominated me, but I am 

really, really thrilled. I respect 

everyone who does my job so 

it’s really humbling,” Mrs Bell 

said. 

The Vodafone New Zealand

Waimakariri Water Zone Committee 

Does clean water matter to you? 

COME AND HAVE YOUR SAY 

The Waimakariri Water Zone Committee has developed a 

set of draft water management recommendations to help 

address freshwater challenges in the zone. 

The committee is hosting four community workshops and 

one by appointment session to get your feedback. 

The recommendations cover things like reducing 

nitrate, phosphorus, and sediment losses, managing 

environmental flows, and improving ecological and Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri values in the zone. 

The committee will then consider this feedback before 

providing its final recommendations to councils to inform 

their water management planning. 

The Waimakariri Water Zone Committee is a 

community led committee supported by councils.

ADVERTORIAL 

Christchurch School of Music in the community 

Christchurch School of Music on a 

Saturday morning is a really exciting 

place to be! Everywhere you go there 

will be music wafting through the doors 

and windows and lots of excited children 

and happy adults heading towards their 

classroom. If you come on down to our 

Open Day at 62 Ferry Rd (Catholic 

Cathedral College) on Saturday 29 

September between 9am and 1.30pm 

you can see (and hear) for yourself! 

You will even get the chance to try out 

an instrument for yourself in the ‘Try an 

Instrument” room. 

This Open Day is part of a week of 

CSM ensembles playing across the city 

as part of our “CSM in the Community” 

event. We will be in markets, malls, 

hospitals and churches at various times 

across the week. Check out our Events 

Guide for days and times. 

The CSM is a family-oriented 

community aimed at providing 

quality music education in and around 

Christchurch. The school has been an 

important part of the Christchurch 

music education scene for 63 years so 

why not come along and join us? 

From ages 2 to 92 we have something 

for everyone. On a Saturday morning the 

whole family can find something to suit. 

Preschool and junior school children can 

start their musical journey by joining in 

our experiential “Take Off with Music.” 

The classes are carefully planned to 

ensure maximum fun, engagement and 

music learning. 

At 4½ years children are also able to 

begin learning Suzuki violin or cello 

with our very experienced Suzuki 

teachers and at 5 years old the recorder 

is a great way to start children learning 

an instrument that will set them up with 

music reading and musicianship skills 

that will last a lifetime. 

Older children and adults may opt for 

group or individual lessons on a specific 

instrument (including voice). Those 

who already play are welcome to join 

in one of the great ensembles which all 

take part in regular concerts including 

Saturday soirees and a wide range of 

community events. Recitals where 

individuals can perform are also held 

regularly. 

The UC Christchurch Youth Orchestra, 

CSM’s top orchestra, generously 

sponsored by the University of 

Canterbury Foundation, has an exciting 

concert series throughout the year. Their 

upcoming concert, “Halloween” being 

held in the Christchurch Girls’ High 

Auditorium on 27 October is an excellent 

opportunity to hear Christchurch’s top 

youth musicians in concert. (Tickets 

available through Eventfinda) 

With six orchestras, two concert 

bands, a Big Band, a jazz combo, six 

wind ensembles, rock bands, two choirs, 

chamber groups, a samba band and a 

guitar ensemble there is an ensemble to 

suit all levels and all ages. 

CSM also provides a comprehensive 

music education to participating primary 

schools via its Outreach programmes. 

Programmes are offered in band, strings, 

recorder and ukulele in a wide range of 

Christchurch schools. 

Another popular area of the School 

is the Late Starters programme where 

adults approaching retirement with 

more time on their hands have really 

enjoyed learning an instrument they 

never had the chance to play in their 

early years and join an ensemble with 

other like-minded adults. 

If Saturday isn’t an option, CSM also 

offers a range of weekday opportunities 

for learning and playing music. 

If affordability is an issue, CSM may be 

able to offer a discount through funding 

provided by the Rata Foundation. 

Enrolments are open for 2019 so come 

on down and have a look around or 

check out our website www.csm.org.nz 

and let us start you on a musical journey 

that will bring pleasure for a lifetime.

DEBATE: Professor Margreet Vissers, associate dean for research (centre), 

with University of Otago medical students Abel Ang and Jessika Wise taking 

part in a study between what you eat and well-being. 

Debate to discuss if 

‘you are what you eat’ 

UNIVERSITY OF Otago, 

Christchurch scientists 

are increasingly studying 

links between our diet 

and disease because of the 

‘profound’ impact of what 

we put into our mouths on 

our physical and mental 

health. 

Professor Margreet 

Vissers is associate 

dean for research on 

the Christchurch health 

campus, where on Sunday 

a debate will be argued 

over whether ‘you are 

what you eat,’ as part of 

the campus’ annual public 

open day. 

Gary McCormick will 

be master of ceremonies 

at the Showcase debate 

which will feature doctors, 

researchers, medical and 

postgraduate research 

students from the campus. 

Prof Vissers says health 

researchers are increasingly 

focused on the impact 

of diet on our health, 

including the effects on 

gut health; as a risk factor 

for heart disease, diabetes 

or cancer; and the importance 

of micronutrients 

– vitamins and minerals 

– for our immune system 

and mental health and 

well-being. 

“At the University of 

Otago, Christchurch we 

study the impact of diet on 

health, from a cellular level 

in our laboratories right 

through to clinical studies 

in the areas of heart disease, 

cancer, mental health 

and severe infections. The 

profound impact of food 

on health is topical and a 

major contributor to modern 

day health research 

programmes.” 

Prof Vissers says 

research studies on the 

Christchurch campus relating 

to diet include studies 

looking at the impact of 

plant fibre on the development 

of bowel cancer, how 

vitamin C levels are linked 

to cancer growth and severe 

respiratory infections, 

and whether tart cherry 

supplements can ease the 

symptoms of people with 

gout and arthritis. 

Scientists and postgraduate 

students involved in 

these and other studies will 

open their laboratories to 

the general public at the 

annual Showcase, which 

also includes tours of the 

high-technology simulation 

centre where medical 

students can practice 

complex medical scenarios 

before encountering them 

in real life. 

•The Showcase will 

be held on Sunday 

from noon until 5 pm 

at the University’s 

Christchurch campus, 

2 Riccarton Rd, at 

Christchurch Hospital.

The team at 

Footprints 

Podiatry at 

7, Milton 

Street, 

Somerfield, 

have always 

been at the 

forefront of 

technology 

in orthotic design with four laser 

scanners on site to enable the 

most accurate foot impressions 

and have used 3D Orthotics for 

the last 10 years to manufacture 

the highest quality orthotics. Now 

they have extended their range to 

stock Orthotx Rx., the latest in 

semi-custom orthotics. 

Podiatrists Howard Nicholas 

and Will Jones were becoming 

increasingly frustrated with 

the inability of many common 

orthotic solutions that simply 

did not fit into many modern 

footwear styles such as cycling 

and football boots with their 

light and close-fitting designs, 

and fashion footwear. After 18 

months of intensive design using 

CADCAM techniques followed 

by prototyping and testing, 

Orthotx Rx. were developed. 

Now, the final result is perfect for 

many form-fitting footwear styles 

as well as difficult to fit sports 

footwear. They were devised to 

bridge the gap between simple 

over-thecounter 

orthotics 

and a full 

custom 

orthotic 

device. 

The range 

includes 

orthotics 

specifically designed for Achilles 

Tendonitis, Planter Fasiitis, and 

Metatarsalgia (forefoot pain) The 

finished device is a custom fitted 

orthotic with a better fit, faster 

manufacturing time and more 

accurate device. 

If a full custom orthotic is 

required, Footprints have the 

technology to produce the most 

accurate orthotics available. 

Using state of the art 3D Laser 

Scan technology, they capture 

the shape and structure of your 

individual feet in seconds. The 

latest computer software is 

combined with an individual 

prescription to modify your 

unique foot scan and an orthotic 

is created to fit your foot perfectly. 

If you suffer from foot and 

ankle disorders or pain which 

could be improved thanks

Our People 


Wil Wright 

From war zones to movie posters 

Former military man 

Wil Wright is planning 

to open his Sumner 

home as The Film Poster 

Gallery to display his 

vast collection of original 

classic posters. Matt 

Salmons caught up with 

the 43-year-old Second 

Gulf War veteran to talk 

movies, conflict zones 

and galleries 

Where did you grow up? 

I was born in Eastbourne on 

the south-east coast of England. 

My parents worked on various 

large stately homes as staff and 

we’d live on the grounds. It 

wasn’t like Downtown Abby 

servant quarters, but we had a 

home on the grounds. Most of 

them were in the country, so it 

was a very rural environment. 

Can you tell me about your 

family? 

My parents are still in the 

United Kingdom and my partner 

Alex is a GP, she also works as a 

study doctor at the Christchurch 

Clinical Studies Trust. She’s 

a Kiwi, born and bred in Mt 

Pleasant. We met through a 

friend of a friend. We were living 

in Cashmere for the last five 

years but we wanted to get away 

from the hustle and bustle of the 

city and moved to Sumner in 

April. Now we walk on the beach 

every morning with our labrador 

Bindi. 

What about your career 

history? 

My father was in the armed 

forces, in the 1st Battalion 

Parachute Regiment. From a 

very young age he was keen that 

I followed his footsteps. I joined 

the army at 16 and completed an 

apprenticeship as an armourer, 

kind of like a gunsmith. I 

repaired and maintained the 

weapons from handguns all the 

way up to tanks and artillery. 

After training I was posted to 

Germany with the Royal Dragoon 

Guards, a tank regiment. 

After three years I moved over 

to the Royal Tank Regiment, 

still in Germany. It was after the 

Berlin Wall came down, but we 

still had a strong presence there. 

From there I went back to the 

UK in the late 90s to join the 24 

Airmobile Brigade in Essex and 

joined P Company, a parachute 

selection course, following in my 

father’s footsteps. After passing 

selection I joined the 16th Air 

Assault Brigade was deployed to 

Sierra Leone in 2000 with the 1st 

Battalion Parachute Regiment. 

Tell me about Sierra Leone? 

The Air Mobile Brigade had 

combined with 5th Airborne 

Brigade to become the 16th Air 

Assault Brigade. The first job for 

that brigade was in Sierra Leone, 

CAREER: Poster boy and 

founder of The Film Poster 

Gallery, Wil Wright. 

where the Revolutionary United 

Front were converging on the 

capital, Freetown. The rebels 

would butcher locals, chop their 

hands and arms off. We were 

sent because there were British 

ex-patriots over there. Inside 

Freetown, it was quite an intense 

situation. For the first few weeks 

we secured the area. The infantry 

would go out on patrol to make 

our presence known to the RUF. 

United Nations troops who were 

being attacked came into our 

perimeter to be protected. After 

a few weeks, the Royal Marine 

Commandos relieved us and we 

went home. 

Did you fight in any other big 

conflicts? 

In Christmas 2002, while 

with the 1st Battalion Royal 

Irish Regiment in the airborne 

brigade, we were told there 

could be a situation in Iraq. 

After Christmas we were shipped 

to Kuwait and set up base near 

the Iraq border. We drew the 

short straw to go over first. The 

day and night before we invaded, 

we could see Scud missiles 

coming over and felt the impact 

of them hitting behind us. We 

didn’t know what was in them, 

so when one hit, alarms would 

go off and we would put our gas 

masks on.

TO REWIRE 

Start your journey to good health and well-being 

‘Never underestimate the power of the brain,’ says 

Lightning Process Practitioner Wendy Odey. ‘Our 

brain can be retrained to change how our nervous 

system works.’ 

The Lightning Process (LP) is a life-changing training 

programme based on neuroscience that focuses on 

the interaction of the brain, mind and body to help 

a wide range of physical and mental health issues. 

A Registered Nurse of 25 years, Wendy has seen 

first-hand the results of this powerful healing 

process. Four years ago her 15-year-old daughter 

became unwell suffering from chronic leg pain, 

blotchy legs, fatigue, heart palpitations, food 

allergies, and numerous other issues. 

‘She was in and out of hospitals and in a 

wheelchair for eight months undiagnosed. Finally, 

she was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain 

Syndrome (CRPS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and 

Central Neural Sensitisation Syndrome. She spent 

time in Starship and a rehabilitation centre and 

was on very strong pain relief, which only dulled 

the pain. 

Desperate to get her daughter well, Wendy heard 

about the success of the Lightning Process. The 

excruciating pain and fatigue her daughter was 

living with each day resolved quickly and she is 

now well. 

Wendy trained through the UK and is the only 

LP Practitioner in the South Island working from 

Christchurch. She works with small informal 

groups or with individuals. The technique 

focuses on the way the brain, mind and body 

interact, using the concept of neuroplasticity, 

psychoneuroimmunology, neuro-linguistic 

programming, and life coaching. 

The Lightning Process helps people change the way 

their nervous system works by teaching them how 

to switch off the ‘fight and flight’ response allowing 

the body to respond differently. 

‘Working for many years as a Nurse, I saw a 

multitude of different health conditions that we 

can only help people manage like chronic pain, 

anxiety and fatigue. 

A retraining of the brain approach is so important, 

it’s about retraining the brain pathways.’ 

Health is holistic, your health is made up of body, 

mind, environmental and social factors. To fix your 

health you need to address factors across the 

spectrum. 

‘Through a continual stream of research, we now 

appreciate the role the brain plays in many aspects 

of physical health. The course gives people the

TESTIMONIAL 

“Our son was 10 when he suddenly became nauseous on a daily basis. Blood tests showed nothing out of the ordinary. He went from bad to worse and basically 

missed 90% of his last year at primary school. We went from doctor to doctor trying to find an answer. Three separate people suggested the LP. I finally took notice on 

the third mention and started to investigate whether it could work for our son. Wendy was so approachable and gave us the confidence we needed to try it out. We did 

the pre-reading before the course, so hit the ground running... and what a difference to our son! He had it within the first day and has gone from strength to strength! 

I can’t thank Wendy and LP enough for giving us our son back’ Liz (NZ)

Military man now a gallery owner 

•From page 20 

Did you see frontline combat? 

I was attached to a rifle 

company, we were the frontline. 

Saddam Hussein knew we were 

coming, so the troops he put on 

the border against us were poorly 

fed and armed. The prisoners we 

took hadn’t eaten in days and had 

odd and sods for uniforms. You 

felt sorry for them, they’d been 

put there as cannon fodder, these 

guys had been through hell. They 

were only too keen to surrender 

right away. As you approached 

a town, you’d find abandoned 

tanks, weapons and equipment 

and groups of civilians who you 

knew had been in those tanks 

and uniforms half an hour ago. 

They didn’t want to fight, which 

was good enough for us. The 

locals would hand in weapons 

and I would decommission them. 

Because we were advancing so 

fast we had to throw a lot of them 

in the Euphrates River. Eventually 

we ended up in Al Amarah. 

Shortly afterwards the ceasefire 

took place and we were replaced 

with peacekeeping troops. 

What did you do afterwards? 

I felt my experience had peaked 

with the Iraq invasion and that 

was my time to bow out, after 14 

years. I got a job through a former 

soldier with Bapty & Co in the 

film industry, working as on-set 

armourer. I did two seasons of 

Dr Who and other shows like 

Spooks and The Bill. My first 

film was Flyboys, which is about 

World War 1 air combat. Most 

of the filming was green-screen, 

so I would mount the Vickers 

SERVICE: Wil Wright with the toppled statue of Saddam Hussein during the Second Gulf War and protecting United Nations 

personnel in Sierra Leone. 

and Maxim machine guns on the 

fake biplanes and make sure they 

worked. From there I worked with 

the zombie film 28 Weeks Later. 

Did you get on-camera at all? 

The thing with weapons is 

they can be quite dangerous in 

untrained hands. The production 

company would rather a trained 

person used them in scenes 

where they are fired. So, 

in Flyboys I was a German 

fighter pilot and in 28 Weeks 

Later I was a sniper, shooting 

zombies from a rooftop. I was 

also in the last scene of Atonement 

because the crew was in 

period uniform too. 

When did you come to New 

Zealand? 

I’d previously applied to the 

New Zealand Defence Force and 

in 2008 I got confirmation that 

I had been accepted. I reported 

to Burnham for a three-year 

stint with the engineering company. 

After a short time I was 

promoted to platoon sergeant 

and then company operations 

manager, a role I stayed in during 

the aftermath of the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

What did you do during that 

time? 

I managed some of the cordon 

and liquefaction removal. We 

were based in the police station, 

which was quite a dangerous 

building with no lifts and twisted 

staircases. I went on night patrols 

with police officers to deter 

looters. We would go to the bars 

and empty cash registers for the 

owners. It was quite eerie, people 

had been at the tables, there 

were newspapers open, drinks 

not finished and mouldy food. 

It was like time had stopped, 

like everyone had just vanished. 

You’d see these huge rats eating 

the scraps. 

Where to from there? 

After 17 years-plus in the 

military I took some time out 

and spent three years as a project 

manager at the Art Centre 

rebuild before I turned my 

attention to turning my hobby 

of film poster collecting into a 

career. 

Where did that hobby come 

from? 

My father was a fan of the old 

black-and-white movies and 

post-war British stars. As a result 

I was raised on them. Most of 

them were war-themed. Along 

with that, I developed an interest 

in the old posters, which is why I 

bought my first one, The Longest 

Day. As I grew up I developed 

my own taste in movies, like 

Ghostbusters and Back To The 

Future, and obviously the advertising 

material for them. I then 

started taking an interest in the 

artists who created the posters 

like Drew Struzan and British 

artist Tom Chantrell. Once you 

get one artist’s work in your collection, 

you tend to want to get 

their back catalogue. My service 

around the world allowed me to 

pop in to local theatres to see if 

FILM CAREER: Wright as a sniper in zombie apocalypse film 28 Weeks Later and on the set of Dr Who with the crew from the 

BBC series. 

they had any spare posters lying 

around. It’s quite relaxing as a 

hobby. It’s all personal taste, but 

having a link to movies as well 

is quite interesting. It got to the 

point where there was too many 

to just store them and I created a 

website to sell off duplicate material. 

Hopefully, by this Christmas 

we’ll be able to open up our home 

to people to come and see them. 

I’m looking forward to seeing 

people’s reactions. 

Do you work on anything else? 

No, I’m purely on the gallery 

and the website, archiving and 

trying to get it set up. Money I get 

from selling duplicates allows me 

to restore and display our new 

acquisitions, along with allowing 

me to concentrate on forming 

this into something more than 

just a hobby. 

Why start The Film Poster 

Gallery? 

I think these older-style 

designs had more relevance. 

People might not have seen 

trailers then so the only way to 

sell tickets was to have bright 

and interesting posters. As a 

result, some of these posters are 

quite breathtaking. If anyone has 

any of those around, I’m trying 

to draw attention to them that 

there are people out there who do 

collect them and are willing to 

put time and effort in to restoring 

them. I’m just keen to show off 

some of those old posters and, 

hopefully, it will spark an interest 

in chasing down those old films 

to watch.

News 

National MP Nuk Korako is organising a charity event in which 

Parliamentarians from across all parties will come together to compete 

against past and present sporting legends to raise funds and awareness 

for The Familial Trust charity 

THE Parliamentary Sports 

Trust started as a way for 

MPs from every party to 

interact with one another, 

engage with communities, 

and most importantly raise 

money for charity. 

The subsequent Parly 

Sports event in 2016 raised 

$25,694 for Hohepa 

Canterbury and 0800 

HUNGRY through 

spectator donations and 

ticket proceeds from the 

after-match event, as well 

as a donation from the 

Parliamentary teams. Of 

no less significance was the 

generosity of all those who 

gave their time and supplies 

for free. 

Mr Korako has a fantastic 

team of volunteers 

assisting him in organising 

the event this year, with 

the Linwood Rugby Club 

providing the venue for 

both the games and the 

after-match function.

This year’s chosen charity 

is The Familial Trust, 

which has the vision of 

providing hope, well-being 

and understanding to 

families affected by addiction. 

Asked how the charity 

is chosen, Mr Korako said: 

“There are so many worthy 

charities and it is not easy 

to nominate just one or 

two. I look at charities who 

are creating a positive outcome 

in our community 

and who don’t always have 

a high profile. This event 

assists them to raise their 

profile, as well as benefit 

from the money raised to 

continue to do the good 

work that they do.” 

Among those donning

team to face the

team will be co-captains

MPs v Canty Legends 

is made up of MPs across 

the House including, of 

course, Mr Korako. “I had 

a few bruises after the 2016 

rugby game but it was well 

worth it,” he laughs. 

“Apart from showing off 

their sporting prowess, I 

think the event appeals to 

the MPs’ desire to support 

charity, the camaraderie of 

a united cross-party team 

and the opportunity to 

meet and engage with people 

across New Zealand,” 

Mr Korako says. 

The event promises to 

be a day full of excitement 

and entertainment 

for the whole family. A 

likely highlight, says Mr 

Korako, will be the very 

competitive curtainraiser 

of Kabaddi Indian wrestling 

– “a sport that blends 

wresting, rugby and tag.” 

Perhaps something 

for the MPs to try next 

time?

Opinion 

the future of Christchurch 

and most of what people 

wanted has been ignored . . . 

I wouldn’t be surprised if 

Christchurch ends up with the 

most shopping malls per person 

in the world. 

Stephen Graham – Lots 

of people don’t seem to trust the 

city council, but when it comes 

to the local elections, where are 

you all then? 

Andrew Bray – When you 

hide behind closed doors that 

tends to happen. Haven’t heard 

a happy comment about the city 

council yet. About time they 

actually start listening to the 

residents, rather than making 

decisions for us. 

Lisa Hetherington – Of 

course they are going to fail 

like anyone who has unrealistic 

expectations put on them. 

A survey has found 

just 36 per cent of 

Christchurch residents 

have confidence in the 

city council’s decisionmaking 

abilities 

Sarah Spencer Smith – 

Post-earthquake, the city council 

ran a massive and expensive 

consultation with people about 

Sandra Elizabeth Steere 

– So if people can’t trust the 

city council decision-making, 

then next year you can vote and 

change. But in my opinion, it 

is just a viscous circle, because 

whether it’s a local or general 

election, there is never going to 

be 100 per cent happiness with 

whatever party or person is 

voted in. 

Marshall Si – Is anyone 

surprised by this? I vote every 

time but there is so much apathy 

out there. People need to show 

up when they can instead of 

sitting back and complaining. 

Rachel Lelsz – No way not 

when they spend millions on 

stupid cycleways. 

Angela Toomey – Surprise 

surprise, probably a nationwide 

issue. 

Well-known publican 

Stephen ‘Sooty’ Moffett 

(left) is moving on from 

the Islington Tavern after 

26 years 

David Whittle – The Monday 

night club. 

Joan Keegan – Had some 

great meals there over the years. 

Heather Boyes – Awesome 

write up for you Sooty. 

Carol Drinkwater – Was a 

good pub back in the 60s-70s. 

Sockburn has been 

mentioned in city records 

for 140 years, but local 

identities now say the 

suburb is under siege 

Mel Eade – I don’t 

understand why they took the 

pool away. I know my kids would 

have loved going there knowing 

that their mum and aunty and 

uncle used to spend most of their 

summer there. 

Hamish Middleton – It’s 

disappearing because the city 

council never gives anything 

to the community. Took the 

pool, took the service centre, 

do very little maintenance or 

beautification of the area. If the 

city council hadn’t closed the 

pool, then the area would have 

remained a recreational hub for 

all of Riccarton. No idea why we 

pay rates. 

Jamie RD – It’s already 

gone. The only thing there 

of value is the Sockburn 

roundabout. Should rename 

it Wigram roundabout and be 

done.

Now 

Rising temperatures a sign spring is here 

FINALLY, spring has arrived, 

much to the delight of gardeners 

around the country. 

Although September can more 

often than not be a wet and 

windy month, temperatures are 

on the rise, producing signs of 

spring throughout the garden. 

Vege garden 

Time for the final harvest and 

removal of winter maturing 

vegetables. By staggering planting 

times, these vegetables have 

hopefully supplied your kitchen 

with continuous food over winter. 

Where conditions allow, for 

example, soil is not too wet and 

the temperature is rising, you 

can plant the ‘hardier’ summer 

vegetables. These include 

asparagus, beetroot, cabbage, 

cauliflower, carrots, onion, radish, 

silverbeet and spinach. 

Improve existing vegetable plots 

by adding generous amounts of 

compost before planting new 

seasons vegetables. Maintain a 

wary eye for slugs and snails as 

they will rapidly emerge in search 

of tasty seedlings. 

Flowering annuals 

Time to prepare your summer 

flower garden as winter annuals 

are finishing flowering. It’s a little 

TIMELY: Winter annuals should be about to 

finish flowering. 

early for planting traditional 

summer annuals, but there are 

a number that ‘transcend’ this 

typical growing season such as 

alyssum, calendulas, cornflower, 

lobelia, nemesia, pansies and 

violas. If you want to grow your 

own summer flowering annuals 

from seed, sow them now in 

specific seed raising mix and 

water regularly to ensure even 

germination. Seedlings should be 

mature enough for transplanting 

into the garden approximately six 

to eight weeks after sowing. 

Bulbs 

Carefully mark the position 

of your late winter/early spring 

flowering bulbs if you want to 

grow other plants in the same 

area over the summer months. 

Where bulbs are flowering well, 

allow them to naturalise in the 

garden. This applies especially 

to crocus, freesias, hyacinths, 

iris, lachenalias, narcissus and 

watsonias. 

Fruit trees 

In warmer areas, citrus are still 

producing masses of sweet fruit. 

Stone fruit, apricots, cherries, 

nectarines, peaches and plums 

are all in full bloom, as are pip 

fruit, apples and pears. Hopefully, 

weather conditions allow for 

successful pollination by bees, 

HEALTHY: Stagger your summer vege 

planting times. 

with sunny days and no strong 

winds. Early strawberry varieties 

are now beginning to set fruit, 

especially in warmer parts of the 

country. Maintain a good mulch 

of pea straw or hay around the 

plants to help keep the berries 

clean and healthy. 

Roses 

Apply compost around the base 

of existing and new plants as it’s 

beneficial for the plant’s health. 

Commence fertiliser applications 

from early October onwards. 

Spring/early summer is the best 

time for roses in NZ with masses 

of blooms and plants are usually 

disease free. Apply compost 


around the base of existing and 

new plants as it’s beneficial for 

the plant’s health. Commence 

fertiliser applications from early 

October onwards. 

Ornamental shrubs and 

trees 

Garden centres are still well 

stocked with new seasons trees 

and shrubs. Quite often in 

September, there are very attractive 

sales to clear ‘seasonal’ 

plants. As the soil warms, mulch 

new and existing plants to help 

suppress weeds and aid water 

retention over the dry summer 

months. Give winter flowering 

shrubs, like azaleas and camellias, 

that have finished flowering 

a light ‘tidy up’ prune where 

required. 

Lawns 

Grass growth is just beginning 

again. Make sure your lawnmower 

blades have been sharpened 

for the new season. Cut lawns 

regularly but avoid ‘close’ 

mowing initially in spring. 

Apply first applications of fertiliser 

in late September. While it is still 

a little early for over sowing bare 

patches in your lawn, these areas 

can be prepared for next month’s 

sowing.

Now 

A lot of bite left in Langrell 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SIX WEEKS ago, Dave 

Langrell’s only basketball 

playing commitments were 

a social team with a group of 

dads. On Saturday he nearly 

led the Wharenui Gators to an 

unlikely Canterbury Basketball 

Association title. 

The 42-year-old former 

Canterbury Rams captain 

recorded a triple double in the 

final at Cowles Stadium, with 

17 points, 20 rebounds and 

13 assists. However, it wasn’t 

enough to stop University of 

Canterbury winning their first 

title since 2001 with the 97-92 

overtime win. 

Langrell played 13 seasons 

with the Canterbury Rams in 

the late 1990s and 2000s and 

was always easily recognised 

on court by his trademark 

headband and long curly hair. 

The look is still the same today 

barring a greyer hair tone. 

Last month Langrell received 

a phone call from Gators coach 

Tim Bennetts who found himself 

in a tricky spot after losing a 

number of key players, including 

NBL-quality talents Marquees 

Whippy, Max Darling and Tom 

Higgins, to other commitments. 

Langrell thought he was 

joining the team to help fill in a 

bench role for four weeks plus a 

potential extra two weeks in the 

play-offs. However, averaging 

nearly a triple double since

final on Saturday. 

advantage early in the third 

quarter before University of 

Canterbury fought back to level 

the scores at full-time and win in 

overtime. 

The trip to overtime mean that 

Langrell ended up playing 44 of 

the games 45min. 

“I enjoyed it. It was good but 

I’ll be happy if I don’t get asked 

to do it again because my knees 

are still aching,” said Langrell. 

“The thing that impressed me 

the most was his passing ability 

. . . he’s got years of wisdom on 

his side and reads the play two 

steps ahead of other guys,” said 

Bennetts. 

Following the match, Langrell 

was also named Canterbury 

Basketball Association coach of 

the year. 

Over the past four years, 

Langrell has coached the 

Canterbury under-23 side to 

three national age group titles. 

A number of players from 

those teams have turned into 

opposition in recent weeks due 

to his unexpected return to 

premier basketball. 

Softball’s a dead duck – let’s be serious about baseball 

IT’S TIME to get with the times 

and realise men’s softball is 

dying. 

THe expansion to an Aucklandbased 

team in the Australian 

Baseball League shows there is 

a widening pathway in baseball 

– the sport which carries a very 

similar skillset to softball but has 

a far larger worldwide audience. 

In a day and age where our 

most popular sports have become 

professional we seem to 

be in an awkward spot when it 

comes to softball. 

It’s been common knowledge 

for a long time that Major 

League Baseball in the United 

States attracts a massive audience 

and with it comes mega dollars. 

However, the age-old argument 

growing up in New Zealand is 

“we play softball here” – sure but 

why? At what point do the potential 

dollars and marketability 

rule over tradition. 

Sure, we have a great history in 

softball, winning a record seven 


men’s world titles, but the sport 

has always been seen by many as 

baseball’s ugly cousin. 

The slow and steady growth 

of baseball in New Zealand has 

seen the sport become a more 

readily available option – we now 

have a specialised baseball field 

at Avonhead Park. But, it makes 

sense for baseball to be seen as a 

priority over softball particularly 

at youth level. 

Anaheim Angels’ centre fielder 

Mike Trout is currently the highest 

paid player in MLB. He will 

earn a playing salary of more 

than NZ$49 million in 2018. The 

top-10 earners in the MLB combined 

this year will make more 

than NZ$450 million. 

Yes, it’s hard to make it to the 

top but 30 MLB franchises with 

40-man rosters and affiliate minor 

league teams means there is 

a massive trickle-down effect. 

We also need to put ourselves 

in the position to be ready for 

the Steven Adams effect. At the 



Dickel may 

ditch Rams 

for Philippines 


CANTERBURY RAMS coach 

Mark Dickel has taken up a 

team consultant role in the 

Philippines, putting doubt over 

who will coach the Rams next 

year. 

Filipino media confirmed 

Dickel joined Philippine Basketball 

Association team TNT 

KaTropa last week. He is likely to 

be involved in their next match 

on Saturday. 

It’s understood the Rams will 

wait to learn if Dickel will return 

to Christchurch before making a 

decision to find a replacement. 

TNT head coach Nash Racela 

went on leave following a poor 

start to the season and DIckel 

is understood to be working in 

a consultancy role with interim 

coach Eric Gonzales. 

The PBA has a rule that no 

head coach may serve in a similar 

capacity in any other league, 

meaning Dickel would have to 

cut ties with the Rams to take 

the head coaching role at TNT. 

It’s understood the 

opportunity for Dickel at TNT 

came about through former Tall 

Blacks coach Tab Baldwin, who 

has coached in the Philippines 

since 2013. 

rate it is growing basketball is 

set to become New Zealand’s 

most popular sport at secondary 

school level by 2020. 

With today’s easy television access 

to MLB we’re only one homegrown 

star away from baseball 

experiencing a similar trend. 

Even without a current star 

in the sport surely the dream 

of playing in front of 54,000 

people at Yankee Stadium is a 

far more attractive one than 

representing your country in 

a world championship final in 

front of a couple of thousand 

people in a town in Canada with 

a population of 25,000 people.

Boost for Bulls

Proudly 

brought to 

you by 


Tower JuncTion 

• By Jacob Page 

BRAD CAMPBELL was not in 

the Canterbury Bulls squad when 

it was first named, now the team 

would not be without him. 

Coach Andrew Auimatagi 

believes the halfback’s national 

premiership debut was the best 

he had ever seen as a rugby 

league coach. 

The 19-year-old from Greymouth 

played a starring role 

as the Bulls beat the Counties- 

Manukau Stingrays 20-18 at Mt 

Smart Stadium on Sunday. 

He set-up the first try, had 

a pin-point kicking game 

and was flawless on defence 

as he marshalled 

the Bulls to a rare victory 

in Auckland. 

Not bad for a 

player who was not 

in the initial squad 

named in July. 

“It was one of the best 

debuts I’ve see in my time as a 

coach,” Auimatagi said. 

“His poise and play, the way 

he performed under that sort of 

pressure for the first time was 

outstanding. 

“He’s the right fit for our 

team.” 

Campbell was back at his day 

job as an apprentice linesman on 

the West Coast on Monday, 

He had played under-18 rugby 

league for Hornby in 2017 before 

the end of top-flight rugby league 

in brief 

McLean in form for 

Asia Pacific amateur 

Canterbury golfer Matt McLean 

is in sublime form leading up 

to the Asia-Pacific Amateur 

Championship in Singapore next 

month. The 22-year-old who 

plays for the Harewood Golf 

Club won the North Island Amateur 

Stroke Play Championships 

at the Whakatane Golf Club last 

Sunday by nine shots. McLean 

had a weekend to remember with 

back-to-back five under par 65 

rounds on Saturday and Sunday. 

He is one of six Kiwis contesting 

the tournament in Singapore 

from October 4-7. The champion 

earns an invitation to next year’s 

Masters Tournament at Augusta 

National Golf Club as well as 

The 148th Open Championship 

at Royal Portrush in Northern 

Ireland.

year forced his hand to play premier 

league for Hornby. 

“I was playing under-18s for 

Hornby and then playing senior 

league for Suburbs on the Coast,” 

he said. “But rugby league is dying 

here and I didn’t want to play 

rugby so Hornby was the best 

option.”

Campbell’s father Phil played

Kiwis at stand-off and his 

family have been associated 

with the Suburbs club. 

Brad said playing alongside 

six of his fellow Hornby Panthers 

teammates helped ease 

him into the environment. 

He produced a long pass 

which helped clubmate and 

centre Will Tafua crash his 

way over. 

“Connecting with 

Will helped my 

confidence,” he 

said. “I was told

GONE: Whetu Douglas has been ruled out of the remainder

Douglas out of 

Mitre 10 Cup 


A BROKEN thumb has ruled 

out Canterbury co-captain 

Whetu Douglas for the 

remainder of the Mitre 10 Cup 

season. 

Douglas fractured his right 

thumb in Sunday’s 29-34 loss 

to Auckland and will require 

surgery. The No 8 will be unavailable 

for the remainder 

of the season, meaning 

Mitchell Drummond will 

resume the captaincy. 

“Obviously it’s a shame 

for him. He’s been really 

excited to play here on 

the back of a good 2017 

Crusaders campaign,” 

said Canterbury coach Joe 

Maddock. 

“The big loss for us as a team 

is the energy and experience he 

brings.” 

With a match against southern 

rivals Otago at Forsyth Barr 

Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday 

night, Canterbury aren’t 

likely to be thrown a lifeline by 

the All Blacks, with Luke Whitelock 

likely to be on a plane to 

Argentina on Friday.

the Game of Three Halves match

ROOSTERS PROP Siosiua 

Taukeiaho says he doesn’t think 

damaged ligaments in his left 

ankle will keep him out of 

Saturday night’s preliminary 

final against the Rabbitohs but 

expects it to stop him taking over 

as the team’s goal-kicker. 

The one-week suspension 

incurred by boom centre Latrell 

Mitchell has left the Tricolours 

needing to settle on a new goalkicker 

ahead of their grand final 

qualifier. 

Taukeiaho lasted just 8min of 

the team’s qualifying final win 

over Cronulla in week one of the 

finals before limping from the 

field. He has been named to start 

at prop against South Sydney. 

On Tuesday, Taukeiaho told 

NRL.com he had not run since 

incurring the injury but was 

confident it wouldn’t keep him 

from playing. 

“It was good to get the win 

against Cronulla so we got the 

week off. It’s been about getting as 

much recovery as possible but also 

getting some training in,” he said. 


Injury forces Roosters to look for new goal-kicker 

“It was just an ankle ligament, 

my left ankle. It wasn’t too bad, I 

didn’t fracture it or anything, just 

a bit of damage to the ligament.” 

He anticipated taking part in 

full training through the week 

and playing on Saturday. 

However, the injury has also 

prevented him from taking any 

goal kicks at training over the 

past fortnight. The one-game 

suspension to first-choice kicker 

Latrell Mitchell means Ferguson, 

the other back-up, will take over 

against Souths. 

“At the moment, Blake Ferguson 

is kicking. I haven’t been 

focusing on goal-kicking lately,” 

Taukeiaho said. 

“I’m more focused on just 

getting myself ready and feeling 

100 per cent ready for Saturday’s 

game. Just ticking every box as 

I go.” 

With Mitchell spending very 

little time off the field this season, 

Taukeiaho and Ferguson have 

not been called upon much. 

Taukeiaho said that hadn’t 

stopped he and Ferguson from 



working on the craft regularly 

since the pre-season. 

They also have similar figures 

in limited chances this year, with 

each taking seven shots in 2018 

with Ferguson slotting six of 

those and Taukeiaho five. 

“Once I know I’m playing then 

I’ll start practising my kicking 

some more. If I get tossed up 

to kick I’ll put my hand up,” he 

added. 

“You’ve got to be ready if a 

kicker goes down. Me and Blake, 

we’re both ready.’’

Jaguar on the mark 

with E-Pace SUV 

I’VE NEVER been more 

thrilled. The fact that Jaguar 

as a brand is going from 

strength to strength really 

pleases me. 

I think, like many, when 

Jaguar’s ownership went to 

India’s Tata Motors in 2008, 

its direction didn’t look 

perfect. 

However, since that 

takeover Jaguar has 

released some amazing 

high performance models 

which fit well with the 

brand’s image. 

The new owner also 

knew that in order to 

compete on a global stage 

it had to adapt to the times, 

and sport utility vehicles 

now form a large part 

of vehicle sales. Jaguar 

launched its first SUV – the 

F-Pace – in 2016, its success 

has led to its sibling and 

smaller stablemate – the 

E-Pace. 

The E-Pace compact 

SUV lands in New Zealand 

in three specification 

variations – each with the 

choice of a turbocharged 

2-litre petrol or diesel 

engine – both four-cylinder 

units. 

The test car was the 

base model P250, as its 

nomenclature suggests it 

has the petrol engine and is 

priced at $74,900, but was 

carrying an R-Dynamic 

specification package which 

adds $5000. 

As you would expect 

from a car out of the 

Jaguar stable, it is high 

on luxury and it has a 

high specification level, 

the interior detailing is 

something modern, fresh 

yet functional. Many of the 

controls are manipulated 

through the large central 

screen, as it is in F-Pace. 

Even though the E-Pace 

is compact, there is still 

useful space inside; it’s a 

cosy five-seater but those 

who do get to travel in it 

will have high comfort 

levels through wonderful 

seats and high ride quality. 

Sitting on a fully 

independent frontstrut/rear-multiple 

link 

suspension and driving 

through all four wheels, 

the E-Pace is state-of-theart 

underneath promoting 

absorbent rough surface 

travel. In base model form 

it sits on chunky 19in 

wheels with 235/55 Good 

Year Eagle tyres. Feedback 

to the steering is strong 

and directional accuracy is 

guaranteed. 

The E-Pace can be driven 

Motoring

JAGUAR E-PACE: High performance sport utility 

vehicle. 

swiftly into a corner, it 

turns directly and has 

controlled body balance. 

Given its height (1.65m), 

you could be forgiven for 

thinking gravitational 

forces would work against 

good handling manners, 

but that’s not the case, the 

E-Pace is sharp, and body 

lean is counteracted well by 

the sophistication within 

the suspension. 

• Price – Jaguar 

E-Pace, $79,900,900 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4395mm; 

width, 1984mm; 

height, 1649mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

1998cc, 

184kW, 365Nm, ninespeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.7l/100km 

Under the bonnet sits 

a 1998cc twin-camshaft, 

power plant. Jaguar 

claims184kW (5500rpm) 

and 365Nm outputs. The 

latter is developed very 

low in the rev band and 

is broad in its spread 

(1200rpm to 4500rpm). 

As a consequence, the 

engine is strong from all 

points when the throttle 

is opened, and it emits a 

delightful hearty throb 

when it nears the red line, 

it’s not overbearing and the 

entire operation process is 

mostly subdued, but it does 

delight in working hard. 

The E-Pace is quite lively, 

Jaguar claim a standstill 

to 100km/h acceleration 

time of 7sec, and it will also 

lunge through a highway 

overtake in around 4.5sec. 

These are good times 

that fit well with the Jaguar 

philosophy of performance. 

However, if you want 


quicker, there is a higher 

output petrol engine 

(221kW and 400Nm), it’s 

effectively the same power 

plant but with enhanced 

engine management 

protocols and greater turbo 

boost. 

I took the test car on a 

loop taking in Hororata, 

Rakaia and returning home 

to the suburbs through 

Leeston. The E-Pace is in 

its element on the open 

roads, it cruises quietly and 

has dignity in a corner, it’s 

refreshing to drive, and 

when given the chance 

to stretch its legs it feels 

composed and tightly 

connected to the ground. 

As you would expect 

from a modern 2-litre 

engine, fuel usage is 

outstanding. Jaguar claim 

a 7.7-litre per 100km/h 

(37mpg) combined 

cycle average. While 

turbocharging is seen as a 

simple measure of raising 

power outputs, today these 

engines are also structured 

so that fuel use isn’t wasted. 

It was good to be behind 

the wheel of another Jaguar, 

it’s a brand that interested 

me greatly as a teenager, 

although I’ve never had the 

good fortune of owning 

anything from the marque. 

However, I’ve driven many 

over the years, and have 

never found one that I 

haven’t enjoyed. 

I’m so hoping that I’ll 

land a drive in the F-Type 

one day, but in the interim 

I’m happy that the F-Pace 

and E-Pace have come my 

way. 

If I was an SUV buyer 

I’d be tempted into either, 

and I guess from a family 

perspective the most 

difficult choice would be 

determining which would 

suit in terms of size. Don’t 

discount the baby of the 

line-up, it’s a fine piece of 

work.

Getting what you paid 

for on settlement day 

In the movies, the day someone gets 

the keys to their newly bought home is 

portrayed as a golden, stress-free time. The 

reality can be rather different, especially 

if you find your dream home has turned 

into something akin to Nightmare On 

Elm Street since you agreed to buy it. 

“The trick to a stress-free settlement 

is to do as much as you can in advance, 

starting with when you’re signing the sale 

and purchase agreement,” advises Kevin 

Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real 

Estate Agents Authority (REAA). 

“The sale and purchase agreement is the 

legally-binding contract agreed between 

you and the seller that details the property, 

the conditions of sale and the price. 

Make sure that there is an agreed list of 

chattels, with notes as to their condition, 

in this agreement. If the property is full of 

rubbish, and you want it gone before you 

take possession, make that a condition 

of the sale. If there are holes in the fence 

that the seller has promised to fix, get that 

in writing on the agreement: don’t rely 

on verbal assurances that something will 

be done prior to settlement. It’s far better 

to get all these niggly details sorted out 

before you sign the agreement than face 

protracted battles down the track.” 

As a buyer, you are generally entitled to 

one opportunity to inspect the property 

before settlement day. If the property has 

sitting tenants, ask your lawyer to ensure 

there is a ‘final inspection’ clause inserted 

in the sale and purchase agreement before 

you sign it. This inspection is to make sure 

that it is in the same or better order it was 

when you viewed it and agreed to the sale. 

It is not designed to give you the chance 

to uncover new defects, or to give a rental 

agent the chance to appraise the place’s 

value. 

“A seller does not have to accommodate 

any extra requests to visit the property 

prior to settlement,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“Remember that the seller may have 

a lot on their plate; making the property 

available so your interior decorator can 

measure up for new curtains is unlikely to 

be a high priority.” 

Your real estate agent will usually 

arrange the inspection with the seller, 

and accompany you to the property. Most 

experts recommend that this inspection 

takes place around 24 hours before 

settlement day so there are no hold-ups to 

the transfer of funds and ownership. 

When you come to inspect the property, 

everything should be as it was when you 

decided to purchase it (as reflected by the 

sale and purchase agreement). Lampen- 

Smith says you can expect chattels to be 

in a reasonable working order unless it has 

been agreed and documented otherwise. 

You cannot complain to the seller that the 

oven isn’t clean enough, but you can raise a 

complaint if it is missing, or it is a different 

model to the one cited in the agreement. 

Don’t forget to check that garage door 

openers and pool covers are in situ, or that 

locks work properly. 

If there is a problem, the REAA says 

you should speak to the real estate agent 

and your lawyer in the first instance. Your 

lawyer should work with the seller’s lawyer 

to reach a satisfactory solution, such as 

getting the seller to make any necessary 

repairs, or to deduct any costs from the 

eventual settlement. 

Making the final inspection 24 hours 

before settlement is due gives you and the 

seller time to reach an agreement over 

anything outstanding. 

“Like any property transaction, success 

often depends on doing things right at the 

start,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“Get the details right at the beginning 

and you’ve got a greater chance of a happy 

ending.” 

For independent advice on buying 

or selling property, check out 

www.settled.govt.nz. 

Make sure there is a legally-binding contract agreed between you 

and the seller that details the property, the conditions of sale and 

the price, as well as a list of chattels with notes as to their condition.

ONGOING roadworks are 

continuing to put pre sure on 

Richmond busine ses, with one 

long -ru ning store deciding it is 

time to leave. 

After more than 20 years of 

su plying fresh produce to the 

eastern suburbs on Stanmore 

Rd, The Green Grocer closed 

it d ors for the final time on 

Friday. 

The city council began a full 

reconstruction of North Avon 

Rd in January which ha since 

left busine se stru gling to 

bring customers into their stores. 

The Green Grocer owner 

Dia ne Pratt said she didn’t 

want to go, but because of the 

roadworks the busine s has 

suffered a “huge decline.” 

“We are around 50 per cent 

down each w ek and we can’t 

sustain it. It is below break even 

for us,” she said. 


END OF AN ERA: The Green Grocer owners Dia ne and Chris Pra t have closed their Stanmore Rd store as a result of the

HOPE IS fading for people who 

catch the bus betw en New 

Brighton and Burw od Hospital. 

Environment Canterbury has 

prepared an “alternative option” 

in its draft Long Term Plan after 

public o posed its original plan 

to axe six of its lowest performing 

bus routes. 

But a new route combining the 

135 Burwood Hospital and 150 

The Palms bus routes is pla ned 

to terminate at Taiora: QE I Recreation 

and Sport Centre. 

It means the 135 Burw od Hospital 

route wi l no longer travel 

into New Brighton. 

Currently the bu service runs 

from Prestons Rd through to Burwood 

Hospital and along Beach 

Rd to Marine Parade. 

The proposed change has been 

met with o position. New Brighton 

resident Hilary Wilson said 

the pla ned route change would 

be “te rible” a she always found 

the bus convenient, particularly 

when she had a kn e replacement 

at Burw od Hospital.

LINDA CHEN has a new 

outl ok on life after giving birth 

to her first child, Sebastian. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harew od Community Board 

member and her husband Robin 

welcomed the baby boy on April 

10 in what she described a 

“precious experience.” 

“Having a child has 

not only b en a precious 

experience for me, as 

a woman, but it has 

also changed the 

way I s e the world. 

I now s e the world 

as a mother – the 

agendas and i sues 

in our ward have 

become a lot more 

personal now.” 

Sebastian is also 

the first grandchild 

of both sides of the 

family, “so he is 

ge ting a lot of love 

and a tention,” said 

Mrs Chen. 

The couple first 

met while at primary sch ol at 

the former Kendal School in 

Harew od. 

“We are rea ly ha py that we 

have ended up se tling back at 

Harew od and that we wi l be 

raising Sebastian here. Both 

Robin and I have fond memories

“OVERWHELMING” 

o position has caused 

Environment Canterbury to 

re-think its proposed cuts to bus 

routes in the city. 

ECan staff prepared an “alternative 

option” to the proposal 

in its draft Long Term Plan, 

that would axe the six lowest 

performing bus routes, affecting 

10, 0 pa senger trips. 

The new proposal wi l save 

the 107 Styx Mi l to Northlands 

while the 108 Casebr ok to 

Northlands wi l be absorbed 

into an extended version of the 

28 Papanui to Lyttelton service. 

Papanui Ward city counci lor 

Mike Davidson urged people to 

submit on the plan, saying the 

routes were an “e sential social 

service.” 

He said while the new option 

is “rea ly good news” fo residents 

in his ward, “other areas 

haven’t b en as fortunate, which 

is a shame.”

ST ANNE’S Catholic Sch ol 

produced an unconventional 

cro s-country event, using 

an obstacle course which 

involved ducking, diving and 

ge ting mu dy. 

The Grit Cha lenge was 

the idea of a parent who 

works for a scaffolding 

company and involved a 

technical run including two 

cro sings, jumping a fence, 

tu nels, poles, large ba rels 

and several mud-based 

obstacles. 

The pupils climbed up a 

four-level scaffolding feature 

and jumped off into ma ting. 

Principal Da las Wichman 

said the cha lenge was pu together 

to promote the sch ol’s 

a titude of grit. 

“To persist when things get 

difficult and give things a go 

which we know is a big determiner 

of su ce s in life.” 

“The event was amazing 

and bring so many 

families rather than the 

traditional ‘running around 

the park’-style cro s-country 

which we know is dead 

boring.” 

He said the pupils loved the 

course. 

“They loved ge ting rea ly 

high on the scaffolding obstacle 

and dro ping off onto our 

high jump mat.”

PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused a 

rethink over plans to cut bus routes 

around the city. 

Bu the 535 Eastgate to Ly telton 

and Rapaki sti l remains on the 

cho ping block. 

Environment Canterbury staff 

prepared an “alternative option” to 

the proposal in its draft Long Term 

Plan that would axe the six lowest 

performing bus routes fo lowing 

“overwhelming” public o position, 

a spokeswoman said. 

Those routes included the 535 

and the 145 Westmorland to 

Eastgate. 

The solution is a modification 

of the six routes proposed to be 

disestablished – with frequency 

changes, the combining of two 

routes, extension and re-routing of 

others. 

But as part of the proposal, 

there would not be a service 

travelling down Linw od Ave, 

through Fe rymead and Mt 

Pleasant.

The Fendalton-Waimairi-

“Having a child has not

I now see the world

personal now.” 

Sebastian is also 

the first grandchild

COCKLE NUMBERS in the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary are in 

serious decline. 

A six-month study shows the 

population has fallen dramatically 

since a 2012 survey, from 

around 400 per sq m to between 

50 and 80 per sq m in some 

areas. 

Biological sciences student 

Stephanie Hampson has been researching 

the extent and impact 

of harvesting on the health and 

sustainability of estuary shellfish 

beds – an important feeding 

grounds for birds. 

The results suggest the current 

limit of 150 cockles per person 

per day is too high and needs to 

be reduced or even a ban put in 

place, Ms Hampson said. 

Auckland’s limit is 50 per person 

per day, which she believes 

would be more appropriate if 

harvesting is to continue. 


DECLINE: Stephanie Hampson has researched the health of shellfish in the estuary and it’s not looking good.

FORMER BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board chairwoman 

Christine Wilson has died after a 

short illness. 

“Lyttelton has lost one of its 

best and dearest,” said friend and 

board member John McLister. 

“Christine was a jewel. She loved 

her community, selflessly dedicating 

her life to public service.” 

Ms Wilson was the sister of 

former All Blacks Graeme and 

Stephen Bachop and mother to 

former All Blacks Nathan and 

Aaron Mauger, who now respectively 

coach at the Sunwolves 

and Highlanders Super Rugby 

franchises. 

Aaron Mauger remained in 

Christchurch at the weekend as 

his team played in Brisbane. 

Banks Peninsula city councillor 

and Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said he was saddened to 

hear of her death. 

“My thoughts are with her family 

at this time,” he said. 

Ms Wilson had been a highly 

effective board chair and would 

be much missed in the community.

DISTRICT council-owned 

houses in Darfield have had 

to be decontaminated from 

methampetamine before they can 

be sold. 

The thr e dwe lings are part of a 

portfolio of houses and a section in 

Ritso S the council is dispersing. 

It has cost just over $40,0 0 to 

decontaminate the properties. 

Insurance has met about $30, 0 

of the bi l, the district council the 

rest. 

The houses are on the market 

for betw en $3 0,0 0 to $3 5, 00. 

Former mayor Bi l W od says 

he is concerned that money from 

the sales wi l not go back into 

Malvern community. 

In the early 2 00s Mr W ods 

and late district counci lor Paul 

Stewart was involved in putting a 

case forward that if the properties 

were sold the money had to go 

back into the community. 

“In fairne s, the money gained 

from the sale of these properties 

must be returned to the area from 

where it was co lected,” he said. 

The district council’s property 

and commercial manager Douglas 

Marsha l said yesterday the 

sale proc eds will be credited to 

council district funds.

A CON man who tells his 

intended victims he will harm 

their families if they don’t pay up 

may face a bigger problem than 

the law – gangs. 

Police have received 19 complaints 

from Christchurch people 

targeted by the sinister scam. It 

involves phone 

calls and texts to 

victims who are 

told the caller is 

from the Mongrel 

Mob, Highway 61 

or Black Power. 

Pay up or your 

family members, 

including elderly 

parents, will be 

attacked, the caller says. 

But it appears the con man is 

not connected to the gangs, just 

using their names to put fear into 

the intended victims. 

Canterbury University criminologist 

Greg Newbold said yesterday 

the gangs would be “filthy”. 

“All I can say is he’s got a death 

wish,” he said. 

“They will be absolutely p***ed 

off. Anybody who impersonates 

a gang member is committing a 

serious crime against the gang.” 

Prof Newbold said the perpetrator 

could get a “hiding” for that 

alone.
