Councillors
to vote
on their
pay after
October’s
elections
• By Louis Day
CITY COUNCILLORS will
vote on the size of their own
pay packets after October’s local
body elections.
Councillors will receive a
minimum base salary of $97,280
– $5120 less than what they are
currently paid.
But the mayor will get an
increase, receiving $195,000 –
a $1901 rise from the current
$193,099 the role pays.
However, this could all
change when the new city
council decides on the
allocation of a $1,843,200
governance pool.
This comes after a new
approach from the
Remuneration Authority,
which is responsible for paying
elected members of councils.
Funds from the pool could be
used to increase the base salary
of city councillors and additional
pay could be allocated towards
roles with extra responsibilities,
such as the mayor, deputy
mayor, chairs and deputy chairs
of committees.
Elected members will
vote on the allocation of funds
and make a recommendation
to the Remuneration Authority,
which will have the final say on
their salaries.

Kingsley-Holmes then pulled a

He also made reference to

The search for a missing
Christchurch man in a Southland
lake has been called off. Michael
Goodson and Rosemary Spiewak
went missing while boating on
May 31 at Lake Hauroko. Ms
Spiewak’s body was found on
June 1. However, Mr Goodson’s

Inquiry ordered
into juror
news online at www.star.kiwi
Councillors to vote on own pay
at rape trial
•From page 1
• By Anna Leask
THE SUPREME Court has ordered
an inquiry into a jury foreperson
after claims made that he went
to school with the brother of a
convicted rapist whose trial he sat on.
It has been further claimed that
the foreperson bullied the rapist’s
brother at school – and was “biased”
and used his position to “influence”
other jurors on the case.
Brooke Rolleston and Brandon
Roche, both 20, were convicted in
the district court last year after a
jury found them guilty of the January
2016 rape and sexual violation
by unlawful sexual connection of
the teenage girl, which took place
near Christchurch.
Judge Alistair Garland sentenced
Rolleston to 11 years and two
months’ imprisonment and Roche
to 10 years and nine months’ imprisonment.
The pair appealed their convictions
after claiming they did not receive
a fair trial because of apparent
juror bias. They also alleged their
sentences were manifestly excessive.
The Court of Appeal rejected their
bid. The pair then took their case to
the Supreme Court, which yesterday
released its decision.
It has made an order “directing
an inquiry to be undertaken by an
independent practitioner of the jury
foreperson”.
Elected members will vote
on the allocation of funds and
make a recommendation to the
Remuneration Authority which
it will have the final say on.
City council secretary Jo Daly
said the entire pool had to be
used on council related remuneration.
Funds from the governance
pool can also be put towards the
remuneration of community
board members.
In spite of receiving a pay rise
of $194, the Banks Peninsula
Community Board is still paid
less than half of what inner city
board members are.
As it stands, Banks Peninsula
Community Board members
are set to receive $9864 and the
chairperson $19,729 after the
elections.
Whereas members of the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board will receive
$24,580 and their chair $49,160.
They say what they are paid
fails to account for the time and
travel that the role requires.
The current remuneration
model is set by population, so
community boards with bigger
populations get better remuneration.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board member Jed O’Donoghue
thought they were paid a pittance
for the work they were
required to do.
He said the low level of remuneration
contributed to his decision
to not stand for re-election.
Half of the board have said
they may not seek reelection
because of what they are paid.
“I think to attract more candidates
and make the democratic
process better you would need
better remuneration,” he said.
Deputy Mayor and Banks
Peninsula councillor Andrew
Turner said he would like to see
some of the governance pool
used to increase the funding of
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board.
“The work of a community
board member is not solely
driven by the population that it
represents. A lot of the work of
a community board is driven
by the environment and on the
James Gough
Andrew Turner
Banks Peninsula we have a lot of
environmental issues,” he said.
City councillor James Gough
agreed there needed to be more
consistency in the remuneration
of community board members.
However, he thought it was
also important city councillors
were also paid their fair share.
“You would be mad to not
appreciate that remuneration is
going to factor in the attraction
of quality candidates,” he said.

Glenn’s about to get a rocket
• By Matt Slaughter
A WAR of words has erupted
between a well-known
businessman trying to oust a
long-term city councillor in
October’s local body elections.
And the battleground involves
where the businessman lives –
and an unrelated pile of shingle.
Maugers Contracting Ltd
boss Phil Mauger is standing
in the Burwood Ward against
three-term city councillor Glenn
Livingstone.
Mr Mauger lives in Avonhead,
but grew up in the eastern
suburbs.
Last month, The Star’s
community newspaper in
the eastern suburbs, Pegasus
Post, reported on the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board’s
bid to try and have a pile of
shingle removed from a car park,
alongside the Avon River, near
the intersection of New Brighton
Rd and Wainoni Rd.
The article prompted Mr
Mauger to get his staff and a
digger to clean most of it up.
He posted a photo of the clean
up on his election Facebook
page, which Cr Livingstone said
was “electioneering.”
Mr Mauger, when interviewed
later by The Star, said it wasn’t.
But The Star then learned
the day after it was cleaned up
TUSSLE: Burwood Ward city council candidate Phil Mauger (left) was accused of
“electioneering” by Burwood Ward city councillor Glenn Livingstone after clearing shingle
from a car park on New Brighton Rd.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
a Maugers Contracting truck
appeared at the site with a
sign saying “Vote Mauger For
Burwood.”
Interviewed again by The Star
this week, Mr Mauger said a staff
member made the decision to
take the truck to the location.
“I just said to my guy on the
truck, ‘you drive where ever you
like’,” he said.
When asked what Cr
Livingstone would think of
this, Mr Mauger told The Star
he was sick of criticism (from
Cr Livingstone) about the way
he was running his election
campaign, and the fact he lived
outside of the Burwood Ward.
Cr Livingstone previously
questioned the impact Mr
Mauger could have living
outside of Burwood if he was
elected. Mr Mauger said this
would not affect the job he would
do.
“Glenn’s about to get a rocket
right up his a*** very soon in the
next couple of days, because I am
sick and tired of hearing about
the fact that I don’t live in the
ward,” said Mr Mauger.
Rather than criticising him,
Cr Livingstone should “do
door-knocking and just do
commonsense electioneering,”
he said.
Cr Livingstone responded to
those comments by saying doorknocking
had played a much
bigger role in his campaign than
criticising Mr Mauger had.
“Maybe he’s just been caught
up in a moment of passion,
which is quite understandable
because campaigns can
be stressful at times,” Cr
Livingstone said of Mr Mauger’s
comments.
“It’s not the approach I’d
take myself. I think there is
a propensity in campaigns
for candidates to try different
things to attract votes and I
really have to leave this one up
to the community to judge for
themselves.”

Rewards to solve crimes: Do
Last month, police
offered $100,000 for
information leading
to a conviction in
the unsolved Angela
Blackmoore murder
case. So how do
police rewards come
about and are they
ever claimed? Sophie
Cornish reports
MORE THAN a month after
revealing the $100,000 reward,
police are still searching for Miss
Blackmoore’s killer.
The 21-year-old was 10-weeks
pregnant when she was stabbed
39 times in her home in
Vancouver Cres, Wainoni, in
August 1995.
Her two-year-old son was
sleeping under the same roof
at the time of her death – an
investigation that has since been
dubbed Operation Vancouver.
Head of the investigation,
Detective Sergeant Todd
Hamilton said there has been
no update to the case since
announcing the reward on May
18.
More than 40 calls were
received on an 0800 information
line by the end of May.
The reward will remain in
effect until October 16.
The homicide case, along with
many others around the country,
remains unsolved and no one has
ever been held to account for the
young mother’s death.
Offering rewards for
information which leads to an
arrest is not uncommon in New
Zealand. But rarely are they ever
claimed.
Detective Sergeant Ross
Tarawhiti has worked on
two high-profile cases which
have offered rewards – the
disappearance of Tuitania (Tui)
Barclay in 2002 and Yoon Sook
Chun in 2009 – neither of which
were claimed.
He believes rewards are mainly
offered as a last resort tactic.
“For a lot of cases, it’s gone a
long way down the track and it’s
UNSOLVED: Detective Sergeant Ross Tarawhiti has worked on two high-profile
investigations which have offered rewards but remained unsolved. These were the
disappearance of Tui Barclay in 2002 and Yoon Sook Chun in 2009.
Mallory Manning Angela Blackmoore Yoon Sook Chun
just given to try and generate
some public interest to try and
hopefully find someone who
maybe is looking for a bit of
money and could be motivated
by that. It’s a last resort most
of the time . . . police national
headquarters have to be satisfied
that every other avenue has been
exhausted,” he said.
Canterbury University
professor and crime expert Greg
Newbold said the “last ditch
effort” by police is often to entice
people whose allegiances and
loyalties may have changed.
“When the crime is fresh in
people’s minds and they know
the perpetrator or something
about it, they may decline to
speak, out of loyalty. It might be
their boyfriend, husband, best
friend, someone close to them
who knows about it.
Ten years down the track,
those people might have fallen
out, they might not know each
other anymore and the
fact that there is a lot of
money being offered,
that might sway them
to think: ‘Oh well, he
deserves it and I need the
dough’.
“The perpetrator may
be old, they might be
infirm, the person might
be unable to even go to
trial,” said Professor Newbold.
Detective Inspector Corrie
Parnell spoke about this during
the announcement of the reward
Greg Newbold
for Operation Vancouver.
“With the passing of time
allegiances may have changed and
we’re appealing to anyone with
information that might help, no
matter how small or seemingly
insignificant, to contact
us,” he said.
Professor Newbold
doesn’t believe guilt or
conscience would play a
role in someone coming
forward with information
many years later.
“If guilt and
conscience was a factor
they would have come
forward a long time ago. What’s
going to tip the balance will be
the money . . . it’s easy to have
a conscience when you have
$100k going into your pocket.”
Protection or immunity may
be offered in return for valuable
information.
“Immunity against prosecution
will be considered for any
accomplice to the murder,” was
stated during the reveal of the
Operation Vancouver reward.
However, Professor Newbold
said it would be highly unlikely
that a “clean skin” – someone
without a criminal record –
would be targeted for giving
evidence
“The chances of retaliation are
almost zero . . . but, if they are in
the criminal world there would
be, because they have broken the
code.”
So what’s been offered and
what’s been claimed?
Rewards will often expire
without being claimed.
The conditions of each reward
vary, but Detective Sergeant
Tarawhiti said rewards are
mainly given out when police are
given information that would be
sufficient to enable a prosecution.
In the case of Mrs Chun and
Ms Barclay, neither rewards were
given out due to “insufficient
information,” he said.
“We did get some information
but a lot of it was speculation and
things like that, it wasn’t anything
of substance. Had it of been, we
would have obviously paid out. It
never progressed further.”
In 2008, the New Zealand
Herald reported that in the
five years prior, New Zealand
police had offered $800,000 in
reward money – but not paid out
a cent.
In 2014, the cold case of the
disappearance of Tui Barclay was
re-opened, with police suspecting
foul play and offering a $50,000
reward for information.
It expired without being
claimed in January 2015.
There have been no confirmed
sightings of the Dunedin motherof-three
since September 17,
2002.
In 2003, police said strong
leads suggested Ms Barclay went
to Christchurch and linked with
a local gang.

Also at that time, they said
they had to consider there was a
reasonable possibility she could
be dead.
Forensic samples taken from a
Christchurch gang headquarters
led nowhere. The case remains
unsolved.
Later in 2015, police offered a
$30,000 reward for information
on the disappearance of Korean
mother-of-two Yoon Sook Chun,
in 2009.
The reward was offered in July
and on October 1, it expired
without being claimed.
Mrs Chun was last seen walking
out of her Aidanfield home
in May 2009.
Her family said she sent an
email saying she was going to
Auckland for a break and that she
would return, but she never did.
Her bank accounts remain
untouched and there is no trace
of her visiting Auckland. Neither
of her New Zealand or South Korean
passports have been used.
The police search for Mrs
Chun was made difficult by her
family not reporting her as missing
until almost seven months
after she disappeared.
OTHER REWARDS
OFFERED
•In 2009, police offered
a $75,000 reward for
information leading
to the prosecution of
the historic murder
of 29-year-old Kayo
Matsuzawa in 1998.
Previously, in 1998,
police offered a $50,000

nine Victoria Crosses,

More drink
spiking
allegations
• By Sophie Cornish
TWO WOMEN claim they had
their drinks spiked at a central
city bar over the weekend.
The bar’s general manager
told The Star yesterday it is
investigating the claims. The
victims have not yet reported it
to police.
CCTV footage is being
searched to find evidence of the
claims made by the women who
were at the bar on Saturday night.
“We are trolling through
our footage at the moment . . .
obviously we are quite concerned
about this,” said the bar’s general
manager.
The manager confirmed
nothing of a sexual nature has
been reported to the bar as a
result of the alleged spiking.
It is the second bar in the city
to face drink spiking allegations
in the past 12 months.
More than 20 complaints
were made to police last year by
women claiming their drinks
were spiked at Mama Hooch bar
on Colombo St.
Some allege they were sexually
assaulted following the drink
spiking incidents.
Four men, aged 25, 33, 34 and
36, were arrested in November.
All have pleaded not guilty
to charges including sexual
violation and stupefying. They
elected trial by jury. Their names
have been suppressed.

Gough yet

• By Louis Day
CITY COUNCILLOR James
Gough has not ruled out running
for mayor in the October 12 local
body elections.
Cr Gough said he was still considering
his options.
“I’m in no immediate hurry to
make an immediate decision, there
are still a few more people I would
like to talk to so I have not ruled it
out,” he said.
This comes after four-time
mayoral candidate Blair Anderson
announced he would be running for
mayor.
The former deputy leader of the
Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party
thought he would make a “bloody
good mayor.”
“I’m a communitarian with
a grounding in science and I’m
diversely educated. I would be an
excellent advocate for this city,” he
said.
The professional dog trainer and
behaviourist said he wanted to help
Christchurch transition into a “21stcentury
smart city with no limits.”
Mr Anderson was wary that he
faced very strong competition from
current Mayor Lianne Dalziel.

joined the race to become city
councillor for the Central Ward.
Clive Antony will face Linwood-Central-Heathcote

Board deputy chairman
Jake McLellan and incumbent
Deon Swiggs in the battle for the

Mr Antony has lived in the

Mr Antony has a strong focus

to revitalise the CBD.
“I’m just pumped for the city

have more people coming in, if I
can be part of that conversation
and bring some ideas forward I
would be stoked,” he said.
Mr Antony announced that
he would be running for the

BADJELLY THE WITCH
By Spike Milligan & adapted by Alannah O’Sullivan
Bad Jelly, the baddest witch of in all the world
turns 46 this year but has absolutely no intention
of hanging up her broomstick anytime soon.
Courtesy of much loved comedian Spike
Milligan’s irreverent children’s story, the original
stage adaption was lovingly crafted by New
Zealand’s very own Alannah O’Sullivan and
that script now holds the title of the country’s
most licensed play, having been performed all
over New Zealand. Indeed, entire generations
of Kiwis, have grown up listening to the story
still regular played on the radio and seeing it
performed live.
Badjelly the Witch encapsulates the humour
Spike Milligan became known for: far-fetched
stories, bizarre characters, surreal comedy and
wordplays as well as silly sound effects.
At its heart, it is a fairy tale in the mode of the
classics but pulled into contemporary times,
where children remain intrigued by witches &
wizards, and who want to laugh at giants with
bare bottoms and where the good guys always
triumph.
The story follows Rose and Tim, who go into
a deep dark forest to look for their lost cow
Lucy, and meet a whole range of extremely
wonderful if not slightly weird array of helpful
characters, such as Binklebonk, the very
cute Dinglemouse, Mudwiggle and of course
Appletree, The Policeman!, to rescue their
beloved Lucy from the clutches of Badjelly the
Witch before she is eaten!
This production will also include the catchy
music and songs by Geoff Davidson.
John Armstrong, our Director, has bought
together a talented cast ensemble, and looks
forward to bring this iconic script to life, as part
of the Christchurch City Council annual KidsFest
July holiday programme
For the first time, Riccarton Players will also
be offering two ‘Relaxed Performances’ on
Wednesday 10th and 17th July at 7pm.
A relaxed performance is a special
performance of a show designed to
welcome those who
will benefit from a more
relaxed performance environment, including
people with an Autism Spectrum Condition,
sensory and communication disorders or a
learning difficulty.
This means that there will be a relaxed
attitude to noise and movement during the
performance, and some changes will be made
to limit the light and sound effects.
The theatre will have limited seating capacity
so patrons will be able to move around more
easily and we will be providing two chill-out
areas outside the theatre with activities that can
be used at anytime during the performance. A
resource / social story pack will be emailed to
those booking for these specific shows prior to
attending. All ages welcome.
Don’t delay, bookings are now open for all
shows and we look forward to bringing you

THE CITY council is remaining
tight-lipped about where the
noisiest house in the city is located.
The property has had 54 complaints
over a 12-month period
from May 2019 to May this year.
In 2015, the city council revealed
what street the house which attracted
the most noise complaints
was located.
Said city council senior information
adviser and privacy officer
Sean Rainey: “However, in 2015
the street released was particularly
small and, the requester was able
to ascertain which house was the
subject of complaint. The release of
this information caused a considerable

an approach to balance the public

Mr Fields said boy racing is an
“acknowledged problem” across
the Banks Peninsula and damage
caused by vehicles such as burnouts
are “not uncommon.”
“The route is like a circuit,
it’s perfectly set up for that kind
of stuff. I know residents all the way
up to Teddington and beyond are
really frustrated,” Mr Fields said.

taking part in the convoy,

behaviour” and said the night

the past 12 months is located in
east Christchurch, in the Coastal
Ward.
When a noise complaint is
made, a noise control officer will
visit and assess the noise. If the
noise is unreasonable or excessive,
the officer will ask for it to be
turned down.
The officer can also issue an
excessive noise direction notice,
which requires the noise to be
reduced to a reasonable level for 72
hours.
If the noise is not reduced, or
resumes within 72 hours, then the
officer can have the equipment
seized. They must be accompanied
by a police officer to do this.
Noise control laws are set out in

Act and are enforced by city
councils.

Flood risk in
Heathcote
alleviated
THE RISK of properties
in Heathcote flooding has
decreased due to work
undertaken in Wigram.
The city council has
undertaken flood protection
work to increase the capacity of
the Wigram East storage basin,
which sits in the Canterbury
Agricultural Park.
Land drainage manager
Keith Davison said the work
means there will be less risk
of properties along the upper
reaches of the Heathcote
flooding.
“We have lowered a large
area of the park for flood storage
and created four hectares of
wetland.
“In a one-in-100-year storm
event the basin can now store
around 590 million litres
of water – the equivalent of
more than 236 Olympic-sized
swimming pools,” Mr Davison
said.
The city council fast-tracked
the $7.25 million project to
extend the Wigram East storage
basin to provide critical flood
mitigation, and scheduled it
at the same time as work on
neighbouring Ngā Puna Wai
Sports Hub.

THE SEARCH is on to find a
home for thousands of crafted
hearts sent to the city following
the March 15 mosque attacks.
More than 5000 hearts, along
with messages of support,
flooded in from around the
world after Barkers Wool And
Haberdashery manager Jacquie
Jewell established the initiative
Muslim Hearts of Christchurch.
The goal was to collect as many
crafted hearts as possible, made
from knitted, croquet, origami,
mosaic and vintage materials,
to gift to those affected by the
attacks.
Mrs Jewell has now delivered
3000 hearts, along with copies
of messages, to the Al Noor
Mosque, Linwood Islamic
Centre, police and St John. But
she has about 2000 left which she
is hoping to publicly display.
Initially, Mrs Jewell asked for
permission from the city council
to hang the remaining hearts on
a designated tree in the Botanic
Gardens.
But city council Botanic
Gardens and garden parks
director Wolfgang Bopp said it
wanted to maintain one location
(at the Rolleston Ave tribute wall)
where there was ample space to
lay, stand or hang a tribute.

or may not include exhibition
opportunities in city council

Mrs Jewell said while she is
disappointed the city council will
not allow there to be a designated
tree placed in the Botanic
Gardens, she is more excited
about the second option.
“They wouldn’t last as long if
they were outside . . . I am excited
to think they are going to be
inside,” Mrs Jewell said.
She said the display will give
the hearts longevity for all the
city to see.
Mrs Jewell said presenting
the crafted hearts with her two
daughters to the two mosques
was a “moving experience”.
“To walk into them (the
mosques), to know what
happened there, I actually felt
numb . . . it was something I will
never forget,” she said.

campaign.
The Star was

section for its
fundraising

Judge Tara

Kiwi Gardener
as “an eye-catching magazine
packed with varied and original
content, strong visuals and an
attractive layout. It strikes a good
balance between snackable briefs,
long reads and must-save how-to
guides, all well pitched to its
gardening membership.”
The monthly publication has
been providing gardeners with
practical advice for more than
20 years. Originally Weekend
Gardener, it continues to provide
a mix of content that encourages
everyone – from the beginner to
the expert – to keep on growing.
Publisher Charlotte Smith-

those based in
Christchurch,
including our

and sales
manager, to

the country.”
Editor Kate Preece said the
magazine, aimed at “gardeners
who like to get their hands dirty,”
is hitting the mark.
“It’s a very satisfying job to bring
together the information readers
need to get the most out of their
patch. We receive some wonderful
feedback from passionate readers,
and an industry win is certainly
the cherry on top of another great
year,” she said.

Concerns over plan
to protect dolphins
• By Jess Gibson
A MARINE animal expert
and the Black Cat Cruises
boss are concerned a
proposal to protect hector’s
dolphins across New
Zealand leaves the Akaroa
population at risk.
The Government’s 40-
page threat management
plan includes protection
measures for the dolphins,
which are
classified as
nationally
vulnerable
with an
estimated
population
of 15,700.
Liz Slooten
Proposed
commercial
and recreational set netting
and trawling restrictions
run north from Banks
Peninsula to Kaikoura,
south to Timaru, and offshore
up to 20 nautical
miles. But the additional
protection does not include
an area of sea around the
south-eastern side of Banks
Peninsula. Instead, the only
option is to maintain the
current restriction of four
nautical miles offshore in
that stretch.
Otago University zoology
professor Liz Slooten said
she has been scratching her
head over the gap in the
proposal.
Said Prof Slooten: “What
they seem to have done is
gone to the areas where the
most dolphins are being
caught right now and
chosen to protect them and
not the areas where not
many dolphins are being
caught.
“The problem with that is,
if you close the areas to the
north and restrict fishing to
the south, people are going
to shift into that gap.”
Black Cat Cruises chief
executive Paul Milligan
said he is disappointed the

document has “left out an
area where people know
there are dolphins.”
A Fisheries New Zealand
spokesperson said there is
unlikely to be additional
displaced recreational set
netting given the existing
closures in place.
However, they did
not comment on
the commercial
activities.
“The proposals are
looking to extend
the current closures
further offshore
in areas within
Pegasus Bay and the
Canterbury Bight. They are
based on the best scientific
evidence available of the
risks to hector’s and maui
dolphins, which draws on a
range of new information,”
the spokesperson said.
The information includes

and abundance, revised

Conservation’s necropsy
programme
Last month, Black Cat
Cruises commissioned a
study by Market Economics
to determine the value
of hector’s dolphins. It
found dolphin-related
eco-tourism brings
almost $25 million
into the New Zealand
economy each year,
with an additional
$3 million to $6
million in associated
tourism activities. It
Paul also found hector’s
Milligan dolphins sustain up

Hector’s dolphin numbers
are estimated to have
decreased by about 74 per

The National Institute of

Catholic Cathedral College To live by faith
Catholic Cathedral College is a special character co-education
school situated in the central city. We are a family focused,
culturally diverse school and we follow the charisms of both
Marcellin Champagnat and the Mission Sisters through our motto
‘To live by faith’. We recognise the unique position of Māori as
Tangata Whenua and
the principles of the
Treaty of Waitangi are
woven throughout
our school life.
We are the only
Catholic Co-ed school
in Christchurch and
people love the family
atmosphere and the
convenience of being
able to send all their
children to one school.
Visitors often comment on the great relationship our students have
with our Staff.
There are many opportunities for your child to get involved in
school life here. We have strong Cultural Groups such as Kapa haka,
Pasifika and Filipino, a wide range of sports on offer and a thriving
Music and Drama Department. Watch out for our School Production
of ‘High School Musical’ coming up later this year. If Debating
is more your thing, there is the annual Bishop Lyons Debating
competition, the Junior and Senior Secondary School Debating
competitions and other opportunities such as Youth UN and the
Ethics Olympiad.
We have a great academic track record, with our NCEA results
sitting in the 90s, far exceeding the National average. Our fees are also
extremely reasonable. We are in fact, the best-kept secret in town. We
are not zoned and accept students from Years 7 – 13. Enrolments are
currently open.
Special Character
The College has many Special Character groups that are active within
the school and community providing a human face to our motto ‘To
Live By Faith’. These groups, led by our Special Character Leaders, help
prepare liturgies, Special Character events and our weekly college Mass.
A highlight this term was a visit by Bishop Paul Martin, who joined our
School Chaplain, Father Phil Bennenbroek to concelebrate the weekly
Mass on the Feast Day of one of our Founders, Marcellin Champagnat.
Bishop Lyons Debating Competition
Catholic Cathedral College
have won the highly coveted
Bishop Lyons’ Shield for 2019.
The Catholic Cathedral
College team came first
overall, with a first place in
Debating and Senior Speech,
second in Junior Speech and
third in Impromptu speech,
Scripture Reading in Te Reo
and in Religious Questions.
The Bishop Lyons’ Shield is a much anticipated event, celebrating the public
speaking and debating skills that are traditionally strong in Catholic schools.
Every year, talented students from the seven Catholic secondary schools
in the Diocese of Christchurch compete for the Shield. Catholic Cathedral
College, Roncalli College (Timaru), John Paul II High School (Greymouth)
St Bede’s College, Villa Maria College, St Thomas of Canterbury College
and Marian College.
The competition was established by Bishop Lyons in 1947, when he was
Catholic Bishop of Christchurch. This year the competition was hosted by
Catholic Cathedral College. Hospitality was extended to all visitors over
the weekend with the highlight being the dinner Saturday night, a hungi,
alongside other multi-cultural dishes reflecting the ethnic diversity of the
College community. This was combined with entertainment provided by
the students of Catholic Cathedral and the other Colleges involved. Bishop
Paul presided at the Mass on Sunday for the students, families, teachers
and supporters from the seven Colleges.
Although the competitions were an important part of the weekend,
this was also an opportunity for students from the seven schools to
meet together, network and socialise. Many commented on the great
atmosphere throughout the competition and Catholic Cathedral College
were popular and deserving winners.
Ethics Olympiad
The Ethics Olympiad is an Australian competition that started in New
Zealand this year. This was a chance for our students to meet with other
students from 14 secondary schools throughout Christchurch and Otago.
They entered into discussions around tough ethical questions that face
people today. Our team of Nadia Luketina, Jane Barlin, Lucy Sparks,
Thomas Munro and Mia Bringans took on the competition and proved
that they had clear and strong ethical thinking. After three rounds of
heats, our team was chosen to be in the final against Christ’s College. Our
students discussed whether it was ethical to ban killer drones in combat.
The Christ’s College team discussed whether it was ethical to bring some
species back from the dead. The final was judged by Associate Professor
of Education from Canterbury University, Misty Sato, and Grant Tavinor,
Head of the Human Ethics Committee from Lincoln University.
Catholic Cathedral College won the final, receiving the Gold medal
with the Christ’s College teams receiving the silver and the bronze.
This makes our students the South Island inaugural Ethics Olympiad
Champions. Well done!
Our REMAR and Young Vinnies Group are also active in the
community, visiting the residents of Nazareth House on a regular basis,
helping out in the St Vincent de Paul shop and hosting morning teas for
members of Age Concern. The Young Vinnies also organised the very
successful ’40 Bags for Lent’ collection earlier this year, collecting warm
clothes, blankets and toys for those in need.
During the recent ‘Catholic Schools Day’ our senior students came
together with students from Marian College to mark the occasion with
‘Kai and Conversation’.
Sebastian Lipp
Year 12 student, Sebastian Lipp, has been selected to represent New
Zealand as part of the Junior Track Cycling Team at the Oceania Track
Cycling Championships in October. This is a fantastic achievement and
we wish him well.
Earlier this term Sebastian participated in the National Track Series in
Invercargill. The series included 3 days of racing, training workshops and
race feedback for all riders
from U/17, U19 and U23.
He competed in a number
of Sprint events including
the Flying 200m, Individual
Sprints, 550m Derbies and
Kieren racing and at the end
of the weekend was the Men’s
Sprint Champion.
Sebastian was also invited
by Cycling New Zealand
to spend a week in Cambridge at Sprint School at the Avantidrome.
There, he spent time with the Elite NZ track cyclists and was coached
by the NZ Sprint Coach.
South Island Taekwondo Championship
Year 13 student,
Cesse Castro,
recently competed
in the South
Island Taekwondo
Championships
where she did
very well, winning
the Blackbelt
Poomsae Trophy
for the 4th time in
as many years.
She also won
Gold in the
following events;
Singles Blackbelt
Poomsae, Sparring
Blackbelt Seniors
division and
Sparring Junior
Blackbelt division.
SGCNZ University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival
This year our students competed in the SGCNZ University of Otago Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival and once
again got through to the finals for the ‘Best Student Directed Piece’ Category. Over Queens Birthday weekend Lucy
Sparks, Preston Maluafiti, Elizabeth Finlay-Bliss, Joelina Gutierrez, Mariane Jolejole, Nadia Roza Luketina, along with
our Head of Drama, Charlotte Saunders, flew to Wellington to represent the school in the Festival Finals.
The students had a busy four days of workshops and performances at the Michael Fowler Centre. They
also had the opportunity to explore parts of Wellington in their downtime. They performed their scene from
Richard III exceptionally well, and were fortunate enough to have the support of former student, Grace Sparks
as their special effects makeup artist. We were incredibly proud of how well they represented the school, having
put hours and hours into rehearsing and refining their performance. We congratulate Year 13 student Lucy
Sparks, who directed the piece and who has been selected to be part of next year’s SGCNZ Young Shakespeare
Company, a number of whom will travel to the Globe in London.
We congratulate the following students on their Individual successes;
NZ Optimist Nationals
Another talented student is Year 9 student Charlotte Palmer, who in the
school holidays competed in the NZ Optimist Nationals. As a result of this
she has been selected to represent New Zealand in The Asians/Oceania
regatta in Oman later this year. There are currently 152 Optimist sailors
ranked in NZ with ages from 10yrs to 15 yrs. Charlotte is understandably
extremely excited to get this opportunity.

upbringing near “some of the
stranger places in New Zealand,
like the Lyttelton Museum
and rural Banks Peninsula.” A
total of 1282 artworks from 16
Christchurch secondary schools
were submitted for the exhibition.
Fifteen top artists
were selected to display
their work, which
included Ruby, who
is in her last year at St

invited members of
the public to view
the works and bid
on them in a silent
auction.
Three of Ruby’s
artworks were sold for
a combined total of
$2075.
Ruby MCallum The Breadmaker
was sold for $1000, The Explorers
went for $675 and Angel netted
$400.

Using road
cones to make
city ‘beautiful’
• By Jess Gibson
A BUSINESS started by a group
of Cashmere High School
students aims to liven the streets
of Christchurch with artistic road
cones.
Christchurch Cones was
launched at the Young Enterprise
Scheme (YES) Market on Monday,
hosted by Ara Institute of
Canterbury.
Year 13 student Tamara Hill
said the group “wanted to make
something that could make the
city beautiful again.”
“We’re going to get people from
the community and our school
to design and paint the cones
themselves and then they’re going
to be put in people’s gardens and
around the city,” she said.
YES sees senior secondary
school-aged entrepreneurs set up
and run real businesses over the
course of a year.
Other ideas at the market included
a mental health cook book
and biodegradable alternatives to
plastic.
Common themes among many
of the projects like tackling issues
of sustainability, mental health or
exploring social enterprise.
The top six teams to emerge
from Canterbury will compete at

HAPPY MATARIKI everyone.
I hope you’re all using this
wintery time of year as a perfectly
appropriate Kiwi cultural excuse
to eat heaps with the family.
Obviously hangi or a generous
roast are the best bets. Vittoria
will be having her first full hangi
meal this Saturday.
Now that I’ve got you thinking
of delicious food and eating, let’s
take this lowbrow and talk about
bodily functions.
Just what you wanted right?
I’ve always counted myself lucky
to have avoided the real nastiness
of parenting babies and toddlers
so far. While my mates have had
all sorts of dramas, I’ve missed (or
dodged) the worst of it.
I still count myself as lucky in
that regard (thankfully), but I got
my first taste of an ‘oh-hell-no’
toiletry nightmare this week.
After coming home from an
activity on Monday a whiff of bad
cabbage cologne told me it was
change time. Luckily, it was all
contained and wasn’t so bad in
the big scheme of things.
I congratulated myself on another
job well done.
She’d wet her pants a little
through the nappy and the house
was warm so I left her just in her
top and nappy for a bit while I
had some lunch in the kitchen
(out of the wee seagull’s view).
The true horror began soon after.
Leaving the kitchen, I looked
into the hall and immediately
asked the question: “Is that a wee
jobbie?”
It was. Right there on the floor.
But not just there.
Suffice to say, if it gets on a
shoe that’s about 30cm off the
floor on a rack, you’ve got problems
mate. Lord have mercy.
Round two was too much for her
nappy to handle.
So I rolled up my sleeves (way
up) and got stuck in, battling

TIMBER
TURMOIL:
The ocean
view at the
hot salt water
pools being
built in New
Brighton will
be obscured
by timber
slats.
Concern over hot pools views
• By Louis Day
PEOPLE USING the hot water
pools in New Brighton will have
to peer through timber slats to
see the ocean.
The $11.2 million pool
is under construction and
expected to open early
next year.
Development
Christchurch Ltd chief
executive Rob Hall said
timber slats from 80cm
to 1.3m tall would be
installed on the beach
side of the pool to protect
users from easterly winds.
Mr Hall said people would still
be able to see the ocean through
the 5cm gaps between the timber
slats.
“A solid glass fence was
considered, however, we know
that sea spray quickly turns glass
opaque and unsightly, and a
Robbie
Baigent
solid glass fence would also cause
unpleasant downdrafts for pool
users,” he said.
New Brighton Project coordinator
Martha Baxendell is
concerned the slats will obscure
the view.
“I think the
biggest thing that
we wanted to
know was that we
were still in New
Brighton. I just
hope it is not this
big old fence that
we can hardly see
through, “ she
said.
New Brighton resident Robbie
Baigent said the community has
been sold one thing and given
another.
“All the early imagery showed
a fence, but with a series of glass
panels which I would have had no
problem with,” he said.
Martha
Baxendell
“It’s just a real shame, we have
got one of the most amazing
vistas across the city.”
New Brighton Business
and Landowners Association
chairwoman Rebecca Tavete is
confident the hot pools will
still be a success.
“I don’t think many people
will be going to the pool to
look at the ocean anyway.
If you look at Hanmer and
the hot pools there you are
either sitting around gazing
into your partner’s eyes or
you are sitting around with
some friends chatting away,”
she said.
Coastal Ward city councillor
David East labelled the fence a
“win-win” situation.
“From the point of view of
breaking wind, it makes sense.
I also think it is possible to have
a more than adequate view with
the slats,” he said.

Thieves target
garden again
• By Sophie Cornish
A GARDEN designed for
children with disabilities has
been hit by its fourth theft since
opening.
The SmileDial Different Type
of Perfect Sensory Garden
located at Rawhiti Domain had
several plants stolen again last
week.
The empty
spots where
two swan
plants and
one mediumsized
tree
once were
was noticed
Sam Hall
on June 19.
Smiledial
managing
director Sam Hall said it appeared
the thieves only took a
few smaller trees this time and
attempted to get more but may
have been disturbed.
“It’s a bit disappointing
considering it’s quite a special
place for us and for people with
disabilities and special needs.
It’s our home . . . it’s where everyone
goes to get away from the
mainstream playgrounds,” said
Mr Hall.
JULY 1 is the beginning of the
new financial year, which was the
subject of debate this week at city
council when we confirmed the
2019/2020 Annual Plan.
We dealt with a number of
issues while still keeping the rates
increase below the level we had
budgeted.
I reinforced our commitment
to providing safe drinking water
that is good to drink – and in
Christchurch City that means
without a chlorine residual in the
network.
I remain concerned about the
approach the Government may
take in this regard. We consider
mandatory chlorine treatment to
be an unnecessarily prescriptive
approach that is not supported
by evidence from drinking water
supplies across the world.

subject of drinking, July 1

In August 2017, thieves used
shovels to uproot seven fruit
trees, several of which were
planted in a memory garden by
parents who had lost a child.
Several signs at the garden
state its meaning.
A planting day will be held at
the garden on Saturday morning
to replace the lost plants.

I haven’t signed up to this for
a while, but I have this year to
support the Look Good, Feel
Better charity.
You’ve heard the joke – ‘three
men walk into a bar . . .’ – that’s
actually how the Dry July
campaign started in Australia.
Three guys wanted to take a
break from drinking for a month
and asked family and friends to
sponsor them to support a family
member with cancer. They raised
way more than they thought they
would.

Did you settle your earthquake claim with
Southern Response before 1 October 2014?
You may have been short
changed on your payout
Advertising FeAture
Southern Response used two different versions of detailed repair/rebuild analysis reports (DRAs). It
produced one version for you ¬– its customer – and one for itself. Their own version included all sorts
of costs not included in the version they gave you. Unsurprisingly, it paid you out based on your version.
Following a court decision, Southern Response decided to pay policyholders for those extra amounts –
but only for claims that were settled after 1 October 2014. If you settled before that date,
you may have missed out on money due to you.
JOINING A CLASS ACTION IS
NOT YOUR BEST OPTION
GCA Lawyers, bankrolled by an Australian
funder, is currently locking people into
a class action involving up to 3000 other
home owners (and we suggest you check
the fine print on that VERY carefully).
Unfortunately class actions typically take
years to settle – sometimes up to a decade.
That’s partly because there is no incentive
for the people running the claim to settle
early, in fact it’s the opposite because the
longer any class action takes the more
money the law firms on both sides make.
What’s more, because you’re just one
person out of thousands, GCA Lawyers
will make important decisions for you
– including when to settle and for how
much! You have no control over this.
If their claim is successful they’ll also help
themselves to anywhere from 17.5-27.5%
of YOUR SETTLEMENT. And that’s on top of
the legal fees they will charge you!
If GCA’s action is unsuccessful though,
that’s it. You will NEVER AGAIN be able
to take any legal action against Southern
Response on the same issues.
Work one-on-one with us
instead at Christchurch

Service Ltd. AND pay no
commission!*
Claims Resolution Service was established
to help people just like you, including
people who now wish to withdraw from
the GCA class action.
• Your case will be all about YOU AND
YOUR HOME – you won’t have to do
what’s best for 3000 other homeowners
all at the same time, and your case
won’t get bogged down for years due
to the details involved in other peoples’
claims.
• You’ll have total control and will be
making all the important decisions,
including when you want to agree to a
settlement.
• You can use your own lawyer or select
one we suggest for you.
• Your case, on its own, is likely to be
resolved much more quickly.
• Earthquake Services WON’T be helping
itself to a share of your settlement – you
only need to pay us for the legal fees
of your lawyer, and any costs we pay to
progress the case*. And you won’t need
to pay that till your case ends.
• We also WON’T require you to give us
the right to take a mortgage out on your
home to cover the law firm’s fees and
costs.
• *If you sign up with us before 23 July
2019 we WILL fund your claim FOR FREE.
• If you sign up after 23 July 2019, you will
only pay a fee of 10% plus GST.
If you’ve already joined a class action and
now want to join us, please contact us
immediately, we may get you out of the

immediately.

BETTER
HEALTH
FOR ALL
C ommunity inf luencer
Wholistic health therapies have been
Sandra Curle’s passion for the forty plus
years she has worked in the healthcare
industry. Facilitating therapies and
processes which help a person identify
their core health ailments in order to heal
and move toward optimum health, has
been her quest.
The Better Health Clinic offers the
following services: The Avatar System for
testing and recording of toxins, including
heavy metals, radiation, chemicals,
bacteria, mercury, etc.
And…
Better Health also offers CranioSacral
Therapy which is a light-touch approach
which can create dramatic improvements
by releasing tensions deep in the body
to relieve pain and improve whole-body
health and performance.
“I love what I do and the results my
patients have had.” Sandra shared.
WE ASKED SANDRA
THE FOLLOWING:
What is the benefit of an Avatar
reading?
In today’s environment, the human body
is laden with toxins from just about
everything. For instance, the air we
breathe, the foods we eat, the cosmetics
and hygiene products we use. Cleaning
supplies, automobile and yard products.
People often forget the body is like
a sponge and absorbs chemicals and
toxins and holds onto them within the
body systems. In time, when the body
is overloaded, illness takes over and the
immune system breaks down. This is
where the Avatar system comes into play.
Ridding the body of pollutants
After an Avatar reading, remedies are
determined in the form of drops, like
homeopathy, which are customised for
each client based upon their reading.
The drops act as a detoxification
process focused on supporting the body
with flushing out the toxins and are
customised remedies for each person,
based upon their reading results.
What ages are Avatar readings
safe?
All ages, all sexes and all animals, too.
Benefits
Natural, nontoxic with great results.

ELGAR Cello Concerto in E Minor
FARR Roar of a Thousand Tigers
(World Premiere)
Gareth Farr’s newly commissioned orchestral
work, Roar of a Thousand Tigers, takes
its name from Sherpa Tenzing Norgay’s
description to Sir Edmund Hillary of the
violent, high altitude icy winds that buffet
the uppermost slopes of Mount Everest. It is
a symphonic homage to possibly the most
famous New Zealander of all time - and the
summit that he and Tenzing first reached in
1953.
In celebration of the 100 years since the
birth of Sir Edmund, with the support of
Creative New Zealand, the symphony was
commissioned by the Hillary Centenary
Steering Committee.
Performing Elgar’s intensely emotional
concerto, Russian-born cellist Lev Sivkov
has won 1st prize in a number of prestigious
music competitions, including the 2015
Naumburg International Cello Competition.
He is currently Principal Cello with
Philharmonia Zurich and performs across
Europe as a soloist and chamber musician.
Douglas Lilburn’s Aotearoa Overture explores
the shimmer of light on the sea surrounding
the New Zealand coastline. Lilburn wished to
reflect a sense of freshness and exhilaration
in this, one of his earlier symphonic
compositions.

NEURONS THAT FIRE
TOGETHER, WIRE TOGETHER
Aristotle was right, we are what we repeatedly do,
but modern neuroscientists would add that we
are also what we repeatedly think.
Neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to make
new neural pathways based on the information it
receives, isn’t new (our brains have always been
plastic); what is new is our understanding of this
phenomenon.
This is probably best summarised by the adage,
‘Neurons that fire together wire together’.
In other words, if you think a thought or perform
an action often enough, the neurons that are
responsible for executing those thoughts and
actions will start to join together to form new
neural pathways to accommodate them.
For example, if you constantly think about a pain
you are experiencing, the brain will create neural
pathways to make accessing that pain easier.
However, as soon as you accept you have pain,
the brain will begin to re-route away from pain
and towards acceptance. And, if you can make
acceptance your default mode, the pain usually
becomes much easier to manage (simple but not
easy).
To some degree this is what the placebo effect is
all about i.e. you take a pill that you think will
relieve your pain, the brain starts to re-route to
accommodate that thought and, hey presto, the
pain abates.
There are lots of things you can do to promote
brain plasticity, but let’s focus on three:
1. Aerobic exercise that gets a sweat up creates
a protein called Brain Derived Neurotrophic
Factor (BDNF) and BDNF is considered to be
‘fertiliser for the brain’. So, while a stroll in the
park is beneficial on a number of levels, if you
really want to energise your brain, a fast walk
that elevates your heart rate is much better.
2. If you want your brain to learn new stuff,
focused repetition (practice) is essential. Practice
makes perfect, right? Nope, perfect practice
makes perfect. Watch the average golfer spraying
balls left, right and centre on the driving range
and ask yourself what kind of plasticity is likely
to occur.
3. The celebrated neuroscientist Michael
Merzenich, says older people are good at creating
negative neuroplasticity, aka ‘you can’t teach an
old dog new tricks’ syndrome. As it turns out,
not only can Rover learn new stuff, if he makes
learning new stuff a habit there’s a good chance
his brain will remain flexible into old age, which
has significant implications for those of you who
are concerned about dementia in its many guises.
To summarise: The discovery that our brains
are plastic is a potential game-changer, but only
if you feed your brain with helpful thoughts,
exercise with the objective of getting out of puff,
practice stuff you want to learn as perfectly as
possible and stay engaged in the game of life.

RESEARCH
SHOWS
IMPORTANCE
OF EXERCISE
IN CANCER
CARE
Exercise New Zealand chief executive
Richard Beddie today backed United
Kingdom research which is showing the
benefits of exercise for people who have
had cancer.
Research at Northumbria University,
Newcastle, has been investigating the
important role that structured exercise
programmes can play in living with and
after recovery.
Beddie says the evidence of the benefits
of exercise as medicine, is growing.
“With everything from mental health
to heart disease it is now being well
understood that exercise works in
prevention, and in many cases beneficial
during treatment, alongside more
traditional medical interventions,” he
says.
“New research shows the benefits of
exercise for those with cancer, both
during and post treatment.
“With the financial demands on the New
Zealand health system growing every
day, we need to look at innovative and
cost-effective ways of enhancing existing
treatments, as well as preventing the
need for some treatments in the first
place.
“Exercise professionals are now
being recognised in their role
working alongside other allied health
professionals. Specialist training for
exercise professionals is now available in
New Zealand to help them understand
the specific needs of those with long
term health conditions.”
The UK research report says cancers
of the breast, prostate and colon are
amongst the most common in western
societies. Although survival rates are
increasing, the physical and mental
impacts of these cancers and their
treatments are long-lasting.
Physical activity and structured
exercise have an important role to play
in alleviating the physiological and
psychological impact of cancer and its
treatments, their report says.
Cancer is now considered a chronic
condition because more people are living
longer after a cancer diagnosis. The
UK research was about using physical
exercise as part of lifestyle interventions
to improve the health of people living
with and beyond cancer.

ADVANCED CARE
PLANS
Have you thought about what care you
want to receive when you reach the end of
your life? During the course of our lives
we expend an enormous amount of energy
planning where we want to live, what we
want to achieve during our lifetimes, but
we don’t give much time or thought to what
we would like to happen at the end of our
lives.
If you have a major health event that
deprives you of the ability to make your
wishes known to your family or to the
health professionals responsible for your
care, taking some time now to discuss what
SUDOKU - EASY
you want at the end of your life will provide
vital guidance if your loved ones have to
make those decisions for you.
An Advance Care Plan or Advance
Directive (“Advance Care Plan”) is a way to
help you communicate to your loved ones
your wishes about your future health care
and will help your loved ones and your
health care providers to understand what is
important to you and what treatment you
do or do not want in the event that you are
unable to communicate with those around
you.

Under the Code of Health and
Disability Services Consumers’
Rights you have the right to
use an Advance Care Plan to
make your health care wishes
known. Examples might be
the desire not to receive blood
transfusions, be resuscitated or
kept alive with the use of life
support systems.
The Code gives a person, who
has capacity to make decisions
for themselves, the right to
make an Advance Care Plan.
When deciding on whether to
follow your Advance Care Plan,
your health care professional
will try to ensure that:
• you had capacity at the time
the Advance Care Plan was
made;
• you made your Advance Care
Plan of your own free will;
• you were informed and
understood the decisions you
were making; and
• your Advance Care Plan
applies to the current
circumstances, whatever they
may be.
To assist the treating team
considering these factors, you
are encouraged to complete
the section in the Plan dealing
with your treatment and care
choices with your health care
professional and you both
then sign and date this. The
completed Plan is entered onto
an electronic database which is
available to staff if you go into
hospital or to St Johns if your
require assistance.
Talking about your Advance
Care Plan with your loved ones
and in particular your attorney
for care and welfare, if you have
appointed one, is an important
conversation and should be
an integral part of your estate
planning for you.
At Harmans we have a specialist

UC STUDIES
LURE OF THE ICE ENTICES
BRIGHT YOUNG RESEARCHERS
Antarctica continues to call bright young researchers to her
icy shores, and scholarships are making their ground-breaking
research at University of Canterbury (UC) possible.
“They are the top of the top,” UC’s Gateway Antarctica director
Professor Wolfgang Rack says of the two students who accepted
scholarships last week, Shinae Montie and Rose Foster. “I am
looking forward to the research they produce. It is amazing, the
difference they can make, because they are really at the forefront
of new knowledge that is relevant to global change.”
The Christchurch City Council (CCC), ChristchurchNZ and
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) contribute to
scholarships for Antarctic research at UC.
Montie was awarded a $5000 MFAT
scholarship for her research using satellite
remote sensing to detect heatwaves in the
Antarctic Ocean.
“We should be more worried about
heatwaves in the ocean than gradual
warming,” she says.
Twice they flew to Antarctica, but adverse
weather prevented the plane landing. For
these passionate young researchers, who
had only dreamed of visiting Antarctica, it
was hard work.
“It was an emotional rollercoaster,” Foster
says. “When we finally walked out onto
the ice, I just burst into tears!”
Foster was inspired by David
Attenborough’s pioneering Frozen
Planet documentary to give up her flight
attendant job and “do more to help the
planet. The main aspects of polar ecology
that interest me are understanding how
species have adapted to living in such
extreme environments, understanding
the impact climate change is having
on them now and in the future, and
also participating in research which
contributes to the development of effective
conservation initiatives to mitigate these
impacts,” she says.
The trip to the ice was beyond everything
she could have imagined, she says. “It has
ignited my motivation for studying and
conserving the vulnerable species that call
the frozen parts of our planet ‘home’.”
Montie’s interest in Antarctica developed
earlier, during her final years of high
school.
“I began to explore electives that could
accompany my degree in ecology. I
have always been drawn to the marine
environment; however, my focus has since
shifted towards the Southern Ocean. I now
know that I want to dedicate my career to
understanding, learning, educating and
protecting the Antarctic, and the Southern
Ocean region in particular.”
Both students paid tribute to the
organisations who had helped to
facilitate their research and as part of
the Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic
Studies, UC offers an 8 to 10 day field
course at Scott Base and in Windless
Bight, Antarctica, comprising a mix of
analytical projects (data and information
gathering, analysis and interpretation)
and interpretative exercises. Antarctic
field training and the experience of living
and working in the polar environment are
additional components of this course.

THE NEW
508 GT
BY ROSS KIDDIE
Everyone who laid eyes on it said what a beautiful
car – elegant, luxurious and downright classy.
These comments referred to the entire design of
Peugeot’s new 508 GT Fastback, and I could see
by the looks from other motorists it was certainly
capturing interest. I’m not arguing against that, but
you’d expect nothing less from this exciting French
automobile manufacturer.
Yes, the 508 GT has definite appeal, the style is
sleek and the interior is simply gorgeous. However,
it’s not perfect; while Peugeot have created an
upmarket cabin layout, I found some of the
secondary control buttons frustrating, they don’t
have any haptic feel and sometimes you don’t
believe that the button has generated the function
you want, so you push it again and it takes you to
where you don’t want to be.
There is some sound upon activation, but it’s quiet,
which could be problematic for those in theLiving
Life demographic who may suffer from age-related
hearing loss.
This is all very minor, and after almost two weeks
in the test car I grew to understand it and enjoyed
it immensely. Some might suggest the 508’s 1.6-litre
engine isn’t true grand tourer material, but when
the go pedal is given a bit of a nudge the Fastback
certainly scampers along.
For the record, Peugeot rate the turbocharged fourpotter
at 169kW and 300Nm, both outputs realised
where you want them, low in the rev band at
5500rpm and 2500rpm. As a consequence, power
is generally accessible without lag. As a vehicle, the
508 is a big car, but there’s no suggestion the engine
isn’t up to task, it is one of the sweetest engines to
come out of the Peugeot/Citroen factories, and I
simply adore it.
Power is channelled through to the front wheels
through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Interestingly, the 508 gets a manual drive mode
that can be selected at will, there are also comfort
and sport modes. Each has its own significance, but
I chose to use normal/comfort mode mostly, only
accessing the others for evaluation purposes.
Certainly, in the sport or manual setting the GT’s
character comes out, it is lively and constantly
eager. For the record, the 508 will lunge to
100km/h from a standstill in 7.3sec, and will make
a highway overtake – 80-120km/h – in 4.6sec.
On the subject of figures, if you aren’t stirring
the engine to work that turbo boost, it is also
surprisingly economical. Peugeot claims a
combined average cycle of 5.7-litres per 100km
(49mpg); during my time in the GT it was
constantly listing around 7.6l/100km (37mpg)
with a 4.7l/100km (63mpg) instantaneous figure at
100km/h (engine speed 1600rpm).
I took the test car through some of the windy
peninsula roads and I knew I wasn’t going to
be disappointed with its handling. For many
years Peugeot has been the champion in terms
of suspension and ride quality versus handling
control. The 508 has a glorious ride, it’s almost
un-GT-like with soft spring and damper rates, but
it also offers the control you would want in a sports
sedan/liftback.
Riding on high quality Michelin rubber (235/40
x 19in), steerage is millimetre precise and turnin
is direct. At just 1.4m the 508 sits low, body
movement is unaffected by gravitational change,
it is kept even by the suspension along with
complete absorption through the four-corner, fully
independent system.
At $55,990 ($57,990 with nappa leather), it also sits
appealingly in the marketplace. It is a car built with
plenty of French flair, pride, passion and panache,
competing well against competition from its
European counterparts.
At these prices it punches well above its weight,
and if you add in build quality and level of kit, it is
one very desirable grand tourer.

THEATRE/ARTS 33
Award puts musician on world stage
A FORMER Rangi Ruru Girls’
School student is a member of an
emerging London-based string
quartet that has been awarded
the top prize in an international
music competition.
The Marmen Quartet, which
Bryony Gibson-Cornish is a member
of, was named a joint winner
of The Grand Prize at the 2019
Bordeaux International String
Quartet Competition, along with
Simply Quartets last week.
The prize included €20,000
(NZ$34,284) and a three-year
international tour.
This will launch Gibson-
Cornish and her quartet, formally
onto the world stage in the highly
competitive world of professional
chamber music.
The talented 26-year-old was
a music scholar at Rangi Ruru
between 2006 and 2009.
On leaving, she studied viola
and voice at Canterbury University
after which she won a
Fulbright Scholarship, along with
several others.
This allowed her to study for a
Master of Music degree in viola at
The Juilliard School in New York.
Gibson-Cornish then relocated
to London to study for her artist
diploma at the Royal College of
Music, where she was awarded
the Tagore Gold Medal upon
graduation.
Based in London, Gibson-Cornish
was also recently appointed
No. 2 viola with the London
Mozart Players, the United
Kingdom’s longest established
chamber orchestra.
In addition, she freelances with
other orchestras, each job taking
her all over the world, and is a
teaching assistant to her former
professor at the Royal College of
Music.
Gibson-Cornish has kept in
touch with the music department
at Rangi Ruru, and has been back
to assist with chamber music
coaching and mentoring several
times, including a week-long
residency in 2017.
“My time at Rangi set me up
to have the ideal mindset as a
musician forging a career path
overseas,” she said.
Gibson-Cornish said the school
atmosphere was encouraging and
inspiring.
“I really felt like it was possible
to aim for the stars.’’
EMERGING STAR: Former Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
student Bryony Gibson-Cornish is a member of The
Marmen Quartet which was named a joint winner of The

GARDENING ADVICE
Today’s winning question came
from Maria Allan Kennedy.
Congratulations!
In the last few months, one spot
Q in my garden has been affected
by what I understand to be
‘clubroot’. I have been advised
to plant different veggies there and/or
spread dolomite lime. Is this correct and
can you suggest a remedy?
A
WIN a Daltons Rose Care and Planting Pack!
Clubroot mainly affects Brassicas such as
cabbages and cauliflowers. This disease can be
identified by the appearance of thick, swollen roots
that prevent healthy growth of the host plant. You
are correct in stating that applications of dolomite
lime are a successful means of controlling clubroot.
Crop rotation in your veggie garden would also be a good
idea. Remember that if the same crop is grown in the same
area, in the same ground for several years in succession,
two undesirable things can happen. First, the same plant
nutrients are taken continually from the soil and second, if
the particular crop being grown has a disease that is present
in the soil, in this case club root, then the disease will be
encouraged to multiply in the ground.
Leave applying generous quantities of the dolomite lime to
your garden until spring (when preparing your summer veggie
garden), rather than applying it in winter when most of the
lime will be washed away.
Read our How to Grow guide for more advice:

June/July are the best months to plant, relocate and prune roses (once dormant). Choose a
spot in the garden with plenty of sun, that is not crowded by other plants or trees, as good air
flow reduces the risk of rose pests and diseases. Feed with Daltons Premium Rose Fertiliser
for strong, healthy blooms.

Protect your pruned roses from frost
THERE IS more written about
pruning roses than almost any
other aspect of their care.
Yet, why do we prune our
roses?
Here are a few key reasons:
Encourage new growth and
more blooms. Maintain the
health of the rose by removing
old wood, improve air circulation
within the bush.
Maintain a specific shape,
especially for climbing and pillar
roses, and those that are pegged
down.
Not all roses have the same
need to be pruned, some just
need an annual “going over’’
after flowering to remove the
dead wood. Other roses, most
notably the highly bred hybrid
teas and floribundas, need regular
pruning. If you garden on a
light, sandy soil then prune your
roses only lightly as they will not
be able to support the vigorous
new growth that hard pruning
encourages.
The time to tackle pruning
is in the winter while they are
dormant, before they burst into
growth. In some areas of New
Zealand, and in some seasons,
there may seem to be almost
no period of dormancy and so
you must choose your moment
carefully. So do not prune when
there is still a risk of severe frost,
as any new growth will be frosted
and die back.
You will have to cut back to
the next bud, reducing the plant
further.
Most bush roses flower on the
current year’s growth.
A hard prune will produce
more vigorous new growth.
Remove the oldest cane on the
plant; this keeps the bush fresh
and vigorous.
Then reduce thick, strong stems
by about half their height. Thin
canes need to be cut back to onethird
their height.
Try to keep the centre of the
plant open. A mess of spindly,
twiggy growth in the middle
of the plant restricts light and
air circulation, encouraging
disease.
HEALTH: Hard pruning roses will produce more vigorous
growth.

Bad boy to businessman
Being expelled from
school for fighting and
living out of a car was
an unlikely pathway
to rugby success for
one of the Crusaders
most influential players.
Gordon Findlater
reports
•Over the Super Rugby season, The Star will look back each
week at some of the identities who graced the Crusaders
jersey in the past and discover where they are now
RON CRIBB is a prime example
of how the Crusaders can turn
an Auckland bad boy into All
Blacks material.
The 42-year-old father-of-two
is now a well-established figure
in the business world. However,
he is best remembered in this
part of New Zealand for scoring
the Crusaders only try in their
20-19 win over the Brumbies in
the 2000 Super Rugby final.
The No 8 scored in his
signature style by putting
through a grubber kick to
himself before crossing the line.
The try was one of seven in a
season which also saw him cross
the line in the semi-final against
the Highlanders.
Cribb’s performances in red
and black throughout the 2000
season set him up to make
15 appearances for the All
Blacks over the next two years.
However, it could have easily
turned out very differently –
he grew up with a reputation
for bad behaviour in West
Auckland.
Cribb played rugby league
until he was 17. He was a student
at Auckland’s Rutherford
College at the same time as
Kiwis representatives Robbie and
Henry Paul. However, his days
there were cut short when he was
expelled for fighting. He then
moved to Massey High School,
where he joined his childhood
friend Troy Flavell.
“I was getting into a bit of
trouble there (Massey High)
and they encouraged us to leave
school,” said Cribb.
“I look back and I’m pretty
embarrassed of my behaviour. I
was quite aggressive, causing a
bit of trouble and bullying.”
Through a technicality, Cribb’s
father found a way to keep his
son at school. However, one of
the conditions of his attendance
was that he play for Massey’s first
XV.
“My first year I wasn’t in the
rugby system at all and then
Russell Jones selected me for
North Harbour,” said Cribb.
“We ended up finishing third
in the school competition and
when I got home there was
a letter saying you’ve been
selected to play for the New
Zealand Schools and you’re off to
England, Scotland and Wales for
eight weeks.
“All of a sudden I was the first
New Zealand schoolboy from
Massey and it was a big deal. The
school was all over the awards
and in the paper, so all of a
sudden, I went from zero to hero
. . . I took advantage of that being
the little s**t I was and wore
whatever I wanted to school. I
had a lot of growing up to do
that’s for sure.”
Following school, Cribb went
through what he describes as a
rough patch.
He made the New Zealand
under-19 squad while living out
of a car due to problems at home.
Cribb says his former under-19
coach still tells the story about
him sleeping in a car to motivate
players who don’t turn up to
training.
“At night I had a dog which
kept me company. I did 10km
runs in the evening and I would
eat at friends or have a shower at
friends where I could . . . I used
my sport as an avenue to get me
back on track because I went off
the rails for a bit, but I stayed
focused as much as I could,” said
Cribb.
“I went through a lot of
injuries because I didn’t
understand the importance of
nutrition. I over trained and
was undernourished, so I was
constantly getting sick.”
In 1998, Cribb made 13
appearances and scored six tries
for North Harbour in the NPC.
He looked sure to have a career
at the Blues in 1999 before being
dropped.
“They dropped me for
something that wasn’t even
correct. In fact I was actually
trying to help a teammate, so I
was pretty devastated,” he said.
Cribb went back to club rugby
in Auckland before getting a
phone call from Wayne Smith
midway through the season
after regular Crusaders No 8
Steve Surridge suffered a serious
injury. He initially thought he
was being pranked by Troy
Flavell, but Cribb was asked by
Smith to move south and join
the Crusaders.
“I went down and they did a
3km run and I came last, even
though I did it 12min, but Con
Barrell beat me in the last 100m.
I was pretty gutted to come last
because I’m quite competitive,”
he said.
Cribb says he asked the
coaching team to give him a
chance and agreed to put in
extra training to bring his fitness
up to speed.
The Crusaders coaching staff
were also the first to encourage
Cribb’s flamboyant style of play
after previous coaches had told
him forwards don’t kick the ball.
EXCITING: Ron Cribb
wasn’t afraid to show off
his footwork while gracing
the Crusaders No 8 jersey.
(Above) – Cribb is now
the national relationship
manager at Metro
Performance Glass after
making a career for himself
in the corporate world.
“They were the first coaches I
had which encouraged that. They
said we didn’t bring you down
here to hit rucks, we brought you
down here to get the ball in your
hands and do the stuff we know
that you can do, which was quite
refreshing,” said Cribb.
“Canterbury changed my
whole mind-set, I started seeing
things differently. Guys like
Shag [Steve Hansen] had a huge
influence in that; he kept me
grounded every week.”
Following his breakout 2000
title-winning campaign with the
Crusaders, Cribb returned to the
Blues in 2001.
However, a series of injuries
and a knee reconstruction
limited his play at the highest
level.
In late 2003, he joined the
Kobelco Steelers in Japan. After
five seasons there, he played
one season with Ravigo in Italy
before returning to New Zealand
to be closer to his son and
daughter.
In 2010, he hoped to sign
off with one last showing for
North Harbour, but a prolapsed
disc in his neck which caused a
trip to the hospital also revealed
a broken collarbone he’d had for
six weeks.
“I was wondering why I was
struggling to lift in the lineout,
I thought I was just getting old,”
said Cribb.
Following his rugby playing
career, Cribb had a brief stint
in real estate before being told
about a role as an account
manager at Fletcher Steel.
“I had no qualifications or
anything so I was starting from
scratch, which is really hard, but
I won them over with one answer
really,” said Cribb.
“They said to me, so you’re
role is you’re going to have
customers that will potentially
be let down and it will be outside
of your control, how are you
going to deal with that? I said,
can I answer that as a question
. . . have you ever let down four
and a half million people? I
think I can handle one or two let
downs.”
After putting the HR
department into stitches, he got
the job and worked there for two
years. He then took on a national
key account manager roles at
Tasman Insulation and Mitre
10. Cribb is now the national
relationship manager at Metro
Performance Glass.
Cribb says his ability to
move into the corporate world
following rugby is one of the
accomplishments he is most
proud of in his life.
“I was given a contract with
North Harbour during my last
year of high school and I really
didn’t have anything else . . .
a lot of the skills I’ve learnt
through rugby I’ve transitioned
into the corporate arena. It’s little
things like the way you think
when you make a decision,” said
Cribb.
“There’s a lot of people in the
corporate arena that will make
decisions that best suit them or
make them look good.
“I’m more what’s good for
the business and the team?
I understand individuals,
different characters and different
values all coming under the
one umbrella . . . it’s things like
Gilbert Enoka taught us when
we were playing, which is your
mindset, and so that’s what I did
and I learnt on the way.”
Outside of work, Cribb is
actively involved with his
children’s sporting activities.
His 15-year-old son Nico is a
promising outside back and
100m sprinter.
Meanwhile, his 17-year-old
daughter, Helena, is playing
representative netball.

300th game
• By Gordon Findlater
MARIST Albion stalwart
Rowan O’Gorman will
become just the second
player in the club’s
history to bring up 300
games when they host
New Brighton at Edgar
MacIntosh on Saturday.
Only former Canterbury
prop Tala Kele (330) has
played more premier
games for Marist.
O’Gorman remembers
playing in Kele’s 300th
game, which was also
against New Brighton.
“The rum was out and
the boys were in fine form
that night. I’d imagine
we’ll rip into it again this
Saturday, there will be a
few friends and family
come down,” he said.
O’Gorman, 37, played
his first premier match
for Marist in 2000 against
Shirley.
After playing for the
division two side earlier
in the day, he travelled to
Burwood Park to run on
at loose forward for the
final 35min.
“I was playing alongside
Johnny Leo’o which
was pretty awesome. I
remember him making a
good run after a lineout
and getting an off-load to
me,” said O’Gorman.
“At that stage, I was
trying to make it and
seeing whether I could
get up and play pro rugby.
Obviously that wasn’t to
be and I’ve just kept on
playing footy and enjoyed
it.”
O’Gorman could have
easily played 400 games
for Marist by now had
it not been for two years
spent in England, a season
with Sumner and another
in Nelson. Between 2009
and 2017, he also racked
up 51 appearances and
scored 26 tries for West
Coast. O’Gorman also
played for Nelson Bays in
2003.
His favourite memory
for Marist came in 2003
when they defeated High
School Old Boys at Rugby
Park to claim the metro
title.
“They were a stacked
team. There would have
been at least 10 Crusaders
playing in that game and
four or five All Blacks
. . . we had Ben Blair and
Casey Laulala. I think
they had Mehrts [Andrew
Mehrtens], Dan Carter
and I think both the
Mauger brothers might
have been involved as
well,” said O’Gorman
“There was a massive
crowd there and getting
the bag-pipes back into the
clubrooms afterwards was
pretty amazing.”
These days Saturday’s
are all about rugby for
O’Gorman.
His day starts at 9am
watching his three-yearold
son Noah play for
Marist. He then coaches
the Christ’s College
under-15 team before
lunchtime.
It’s then into physio
for a bit loosening up
and strapping before the
premier side kicks off at
2.45pm.
Up until late last year,
O’Gorman was also the
rugby development officer
at Marist.
He says he has no plans
to retire from playing
anytime soon, meaning
Kele’s record of 330 could
be under threat.
“I still go by the same
token. Have a few too
many beers on Saturday
night and then rock up
Sunday and get on with
it,” said O’Gorman.

Dumbing down the Crusaders’ horsemen
Volleyballers reunite on big stage
• By Gordon Findlater
THE ASIAN under-23
volleyball championship in
Vietnam next month will be a
reunion for four Christchurch
women and their coach.
Petra Manderson, Tasmyn
Fahey, Nicky Pio and Chloe
Mikaera have been named in the
New Zealand side to compete at
the 15-team tournament which
starts on July 13.
They will be joined on the trip
by their former Burnside High
School coach Sam Ryburn –
who is also the under-23 coach.
All four were part of at least
one of the Burnside High
teams which won back-to-back
national secondary school titles
in 2015 and 2016.
Pio and Mikaera have been
playing for the Shirley club,
while Manderson and Fahey
are currently on volleyball
scholarships at division one

THE STATE of the new
politically correct Crusaders
horsemen can only be compared
to turning up to your favourite
bar only to find out they’ve
changed their taps and now only
serve low alcohol beer.
The Crusaders horsemen made
their first appearance since the
March 15 terrorist attacks during
last week’s semi-final win over the
colleges in the United States.
“Going to division one is
a major step up – everyone’s
bigger and everyone’s faster. I
was lucky enough to get to
play all of last year and it’s
tough, but very cool,” said
Manderson.
The New Zealand team will
aim to secure a top three finish
at the Asian championship and
book a spot at the under-23
world championships. For
Highlanders. However, they now
sport a much different look.
Long gone are the six marauding
horsemen turning Crusaders
fans into a near feral state. We
now have six lame dads sporting
helmets and waving flags on
ponies . . . I know we’re trying
to turn Super Rugby stale with
over saturation of teams and the
introduction of a conference

HUNTER
Fahey, who has just transferred
to North Carolina A&T State
University, the decision to
come home to prepare for the
tournament was easy.
“I kind of came back to play
for him [Ryburn]. I was in
the States, but I knew he was
coaching so I wanted to try and
make his team,” said Fahey.
They will face No 3 seed
Vietnam in their group, as well
as Turkmenistan.

Orange ball debut
• By Tatiana Gibbs
ORANGE CRICKET balls will
be used instead of the traditional
red or balls in some afternoon
club cricket matches this season.
Christchurch metro
cricket says the new
balls will initially
be introduced into
selected social
grades.
The orange
Kookaburra
Crown twopiece
ball was
selected during
a series of trials
last season, which
compared white, pink
and orange balls. After
being tested for visibility and
performance on grass and
artificial pitches, the orange ball
performed well.
Said Christchurch metro

Much like Super Rugby itself
we should have let the horsemen
go out on a high and killed
them off completely rather than
dumbing them down.
cricket general manager Mike
Harvey: “With a number of
teams wearing white clothing,
this makes it more difficult to see
white balls.”
“Feedback suggests it is much
easier to see for batsmen
and fielders, which
will make it safer for
play,” he said.
The change
will occur in 14
grades across
men’s, women’s
and youth
formats.
The change will
be introduced in
phases to allow clubs
to use their current
stock of red cricket balls.
The presidents men, division
three men, social eights women,
and youth women grades will be
the first to use the new ‘jaffa’ ball
in October.

How you heat your home depends on a number of
factors. Figuring out the best way to heat your home
continues to be a matter for debate.
Several things are undisputed. A warm, dry
home is essential for comfort and good health, good
insulation dramatically increases the efficiency of
any heating system and ventilation is an important
consideration.
Most homes are heated by electricity, gas, or wood.
In New Zealand, heating accounts for approximately
30 percent of a home’s annual energy consumption.
There are many things you can do to reduce
consumption and cost.
The World Health Organisation recommends a
temperature of 18 deg C for indoor living areas, and
slightly less for bedrooms. It recommends slightly
higher temperatures for vulnerable people – the
elderly and small children. Studies have shown that
indoor temperatures below 12 degrees can disrupt
sleep.
Among all these considerations, how you heat
your home is a matter of personal choice, with many
options available.
Heat pumps are generally the most common and
cost-effective form of home heating in New Zealand.
Used properly, they heat quickly and are convenient.
However, you need to have the right sized unit for
the area and they don’t work when electricity is not
available. They tend to be room-specific but ducted
heat pumps are becoming more popular and are
cost-effective, especially in new builds, but can also
be installed into established homes.
Modern wood burners may be the closest you
can get to an open-fire feel, but are much more
efficient. Wood is generally a renewable fuel, and if
you have a cheap or free supply, a wood burner may
be the least expensive heating option. They heat
large areas and are not dependent on electricity but
there is the chopping and stacking to be done, flues
need to be cleaned regularly and older models can
contribute to air pollution and may violate strict air
quality regulations – www.mfe.govt.nz has detailed
information regarding this.

Home heating –
electricity, gas or wood?
Pellet fires are typically more efficient than wood
burners but can have a smaller output. They require
electricity but some have a battery backup and they
are thermostatically controlled with timers. These
must comply with regulations which are also detailed
on the Ministry for the Environment website.
Gas heating is common and convenient. Central
heating systems can be zone controlled and provide
warm air circulation. Flued gas heaters are best, as
unflued and portable gas heaters produce lots of
moisture and emit pollutants that can be unsafe.
Flued gas heating systems can be installed in most
homes. They are fast heating and are relatively
inexpensive to run. However gas is not a renewable
resource and prices can vary widely.
The greatest source of energy is actually free.
Harnessing the sun can dramatically reduce heating
costs and is the most environmentally friendly way to
heat your home. Passive heating combines insulation
with good design, accomplished more effectively
in new builds but also able to be incorporated into
existing homes.
Getting the sun’s warmth into your home is a
function of the design; keeping it in is a function
of the insulation. There is a wealth of information
online as passive heating becomes normative in the
design and building industry.
Websites such as energywise.govt.nz and
smarterhomes.org.nz have comprehensive
information on and tips for, heating your home in
the colder months.

Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

limit from
early next
month
A NEW 60km/h sp ed limit and
double ye low lines will be in
place on Dyers Pa s Rd by early
May.
The sp ed limit change was
a proved by the city counci last
w ek.
A decision to paint double yellow
lines on the stretch betw en
Summit Rd and the Sign of the
Takahe was earlier made by the
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board.
Bu the Banks Peninsula Community
Board decided against
ye low lines on the Summit Rd-
Governors Bay section due to the
road’s na rowness and general
condition.
The changes are designed to try
and reduce the crash rate.
Insta lation of the double
ye low lines, the new sp ed limit
signs and raised centre line pavement
markers will begin in mid
April.
The work i scheduled to take
place betw en April 15-18, 2-26,
29 and May 2.
While the work is done, Dyers
Pa s Rd wi l be closed to traffic
from the Sign of the Takahe to
Governors Bay betw en 7pm and

Gaynor stanley
There are few thing sadder than drab white walls, I reckon, and
yet New Zealanders have long surrounded ourselves with them. So
when a painter started splashing some plucky pigment around Star
Media’s open plan office, I paid close attention to reactions. As a
cosy mustard yellow spread over the entire far wall, the brightening
of mood was palpable. People commented on how happy the colour
made them feel, how much warmer the atmosphere was, how the
sunny tone somehow lightened the load of constant deadlines.
It was grea to see more confidence using colour, pattern and
texture in the newly completed private homes we feature in this
magazine too. Where not so long ago we might have felt neutral
shades of brown or grey were somewhat audacious, today’s newly
built homes pop with vibrant blues ( Jay and Rebekah’s place, page
6) and copper hues (Ryan and Jen’s, page 30). Matt and Celia (page
18) champion a monochromati colour scheme inside and out,
while Sridhar and Susanna (page 63) chose dramatic black iron
contrasting with smooth golden cedar to colour their new world.
It was also eviden that more homeowners and building industry
professionals are getting behind the movement to build better
homes for the Christchurch climate. Warmer, healthier and cheaper
to run is the brie from owner seeking builders with the know-how
to construct their home from smarter building materials and designs
that keep the cold out and the dust and electricity bi ls down.
I really hope this magazine, and its associated Home & Living
Show ( June 28-30), leave you brimming with the knowledge and
inspiration to smarten up your home too.
