A CANTERBURY University law

Bu the university’s dean of

of confidentiality

told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has

The Star sent a number of questions

Said Canterbury University

“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions

Police would also not comment

A FEISTY duck which caused
chaos in St Martins has played
chicken for the last time.
After a short stint as a
local celebrity, the St Martins
Duck was hit and killed by a
car on Centaurus Rd last week
– the day The Star published an
article on the duck’s ongoing
antics.
The paradise duck made a
name for itself in the suburb for
being aggressive with a tendency
to go quackers over brightly
coloured clothing and shoes.
With its own Facebook group,
the ‘St Martins Duck’ was
reported to bite people’s ankles,
play ‘chicken’ with buses and
was known to sit in the middle
of the road, not moving or
budging.
news online at www.star.kiwi
Feisty St Martins celebrity duck hit by car
The wailing duck with a reputation
of causing a racket would
frequent the St Martins New
World car park.
St Martins resident Ange Yates
was very disappointed to hear of
the duck’s passing, after being
in touch with Wellington-based
duck expert, Craig Shepherd,
also known as Duckman.
Mr Shepherd offered to transport
the troubled duck to a new
home with 80 other paradise
ducks.
The duck’s body was picked
up by Animal and Bird Hospital.
“Her penchant for parading
Centaurus Rd was her final
undoing. She sure won many
a heart with her sassiness,
although her persistent pecking
at passersby riled a few! RIP
little lady,” said a post on the
hospital’s Facebook page.
Attack costs CDHB $6m
• By Sophie Cornish
THE COST of the March 15
terror attack has reached the $6
million mark for the Canterbury
District Health Board.
The attack by a lone gunman
on the Al Noor Mosque on Deans
Ave and Linwood Islamic Centre
killed 51 people and injured 49.
“Canterbury DHB’s initial
response to the March terrorist
attack has been quantified at
$6 million,”
said a CDHB
financial
report.
Said CDHB
chief executive
David Meates:
“This has been
derived from
David Meates
our internal
costing
systems, and
covers the direct costs that have
been incurred by Canterbury
DHB in the initial response
post-attack through to the end of
June.”
The Ministry of Health has
approved additional funding of
$3 million for the CDHB.
Mr Meates said the remaining
costs will be funded from a
population-based funding
formula. This is a technical tool
used to help evenly distribute
the bulk of the CDHB’s funding
according to the needs of the
population.
Additional costs will be added
to the CDHB’s deficit.
Previously, Mr Meates called
the response from the health

of June was $6 million.
sector “truly extraordinary.”
Figures released in April
revealed the extensive lengths to
which Christchurch Hospital was
pushed in the aftermath of the
event.
In the month following March
15, more than 8800 minutes were
spent in surgery for the victims,
which equates to six continuous
days.
Mr Meates said never
before has a hospital in
New Zealand been required
to manage 48 patients with
gunshot wounds.
“Even internationally, a trauma
event of this size would usually
be spread across a number of
healthcare centres,” he said.
The financial report also
revealed other costs for the
CDHB, such as industrial action,
which has cost $2 million so
far and the flooding of the
outpatients building, which has
cost $1 million so far.
Separate financial reporting
was needed to consider the cost
of the measles outbreak, Mr
Meates said.

Bid to farm cannabis
• By Chris Tobin
A CHRISTCHURCH company
is hoping to obtain Ministry of
Health approval soon to start
cultivating cannabis for medical
and scientific use and is urging
farmers to get involved.
Co-founder and managing
director of Long White Cloud
Genetics Aaron Hill said he had
been approached by landowners
interested in learning more
about the medicinal cannabis
industry.
‘’With more and more
opportunities opening for
farmers who typically rely on
meat and dairy, it’s something
they could seriously investigate
if they have interest.’’
Mr Hill said the company
intended to buy land, probably
in the Lincoln area, to grow and
manufacture the drug.
‘’We’re looking to acquire a
decent farm and do an outdoor
hemp crop.’’
A high-tech indoor cultivation
facility was also being designed
which, when completed, could
employ up to 50 staff.
In December, the Government
passed its medicinal cannabis
Bill, allowing terminally ill
people to possess and use illicit
cannabis and to possess a
cannabis utensil.
The Bill made provision
also for a licensed medicinal
cannabis scheme for the
manufacture, importing,
and supply of the drug while
cannabidiol (CBD) and CBD
products were no longer classed
as controlled drugs.
Pharmacies would also be
able to sell regulated marijuana
products.
When the Bill was passed,
National leader Simon Bridges
said it was decriminalisation of
cannabis by stealth.
The scheme was expected to
start within a year of the law
taking effect, and commercial
licences for manufacturers to
be issued early in 2020, but Mr
Hill said,’’they seem to be a bit
behind the initial plan.’’
Last week the Ministry of
Health published the proposed
regulations and standards for
medicinal cannabis, covering
everything from cultivation
to quality standards. Public
consultation is open until
Wednesday, August 7.
The scheme’s regulations
will be finalised by December
18.
Mr Hill also manages
another Christchurch company,
Southern Alp Meats, which
processes and exports wild
venison, goat and alpine tahr.
The company has held
discussions with an overseas
company to form a partnership.
‘’The contract will be worth
over $20 million annually.
We don’t want to announce
too much at this stage but
the company is based in
Washington and it has helped
Hikurangi.’’
Ruatoria-based Hikurangi
Cannabis Company is the first
New Zealand company to hold a
medicinal cannabis cultivation
licence.
City council
• By Louis Day
THE APPOINTMENT of the
city council’s new $495,000
chief executive looks set to
become a major political issue
leading into October’s local
body elections.
Shots were fired yesterday
over Dawn Baxendale’s (right)
salary – which is $80,000 more
than what outgoing city council
chief executive Karleen Edwards
was paid.
She has been recruited from a
council role in England.
Third term city councillor
and potential mayoral candidate
James Gough who voted against
the appointment and salary said
ratepayers would not be happy.
He believed party politics
around the council table had
played a big part in the decision.
Cr Gough said left-leaning
political group The People’s
Choice, which has seven councillors,
had voted like a Parliamentary
caucus.
However, one People’s Choice
councillor Yani Johanson, voted
against Mrs Baxendale’s salary.
Cr Gough, who is part of
right-leaning Independent
Citizens said: “I think the general
public is at the end of their
tether with the constant rise in
rates and I think the general
population share my view that
the rate of rate increases is unsustainable,”
he said.
Fellow councillor Aaron Keown,
an independent, who also
voted against her appointment
and salary agreed.
He also did not think Mrs
Baxendale, who was one of 38
applicants, was the right person
for the job
“She is one of a number of
people who would be right for
the job but we could not afford
her. You have got 38 people and
many of them were willing to
do it for $400,000 or less which
is an amount that would be a lot
more acceptable,” he said.

chief’s pay an election issue
City councillors and Mayor
Lianne Dalziel met behind
closed doors to vote who should
get the chief executive’s job.
There was also a separate vote to
determine how Mrs Baxendale
would be paid.
But in a response
to The
Star yesterday.
Ms Dalziel
released who
had voted for
and against
the appointment
and
James Gough
salaries.
She also
sent an email
to city councillors advising them
not to comment on Mrs Baxendale’s
appointment. Crs Keown
and Gough had spoken to The
Star before the email was issued.
Ms Dalziel told The Star
she was “simply reminding
councillors” she was the only
person authorised to speak on
the appointment.
She defended the appointment
of Mrs Baxendale and her salary.
“Dawn’s experience and
achievements are significant
and the attributes and abilities
she will bring to the role will, I
believe, see her perform to a very
high standard as our CE and
add significant value to the city
council and to the city,” said Ms
Dalziel.
“In order to secure Dawn
Baxendale, it was necessary to
meet her salary expectations,
which were high, but not dissimilar
to those of other applicants
with her level of experience
at chief executive level, no doubt
attributable to market expectations
of what is one of the largest
local government roles in New
Zealand.
“It is the second-largest
local authority and this is the
second-largest salary that is being
paid. It remains significantly
less than the salary that was
being paid to the chief executive
six years ago.”
It is not yet known when
Mrs Baxendale will start in
Christchurch after finishing her
role as Birmingham City Council
chief executive, where her
salary was reportedly £210,000
(NZ$397,000).
Said Cr Gough about The
People’s Choice voting: “There
was certainly some consistency
around the appointment and
I think it would be naive to
assume an issue as important
as this was not caucused by
The People’s Choice candidates
which they regularly do on issues.”
But The People’s Choice
chairman Keir Leslie did
not think Mrs Baxendale’s
appointment would affect the
group’s campaign heading into
October’s elections.
“I think that voters are going
to be focused on the big issues
like the living wage, keeping
assets and delivering services,”
he said.
City councillor Deon Swiggs,
an independent, also voted
against Mrs Baxendale’s
appointment and salary.

Woman attacked in dairy robbery
• By Sophie Cornish
A 52-YEAR-OLD woman
working in a diary was punched
and hospitalised after an
aggravated robbery on Sunday.
It was the second time a
worker has been attacked at the
Kendal Food Centre in recent
years.
Three offenders, all dressed in
black and covering their faces,
entered the Burnside store at
about 6pm.
The assault was unprovoked.
They left with tobacco and fled
the scene using a vehicle.
St John spokesman Gerard
Campbell said the victim was
taken to Christchurch Hospital
in a moderate condition.
One of the offenders had an
unidentified weapon during the
robbery, but it wasn’t used to
harm the victim, who received
head injuries.
In August 2016, the store
was robbed in a similar
fashion. Three offenders stormed
the store, armed with a gun and
stole cigarette cartons.
Two of the offenders shoved
the owner, Ning Huang,
who was alone, to the back
storeroom, where one of them
punched him.
At the time, Mr Huang said
he feared for his life during the
incident and thought he was
going to be killed.
They then fled the scene using
a vehicle, police believe.
Detective Sergeant Brad
Grainger said inquiries into
Sunday’s incident are ongoing.
Due to the offenders being
covered and the quality of
CCTV footage, Detective
Sergeant Grainger was unable
to provide a description of the
three suspects.
Mr Huang declined to speak
to The Star about the robbery on
Sunday.
On Monday last week, a
Bromley dairy owner was
hospitalised after a masked
robber, armed with a firearm,
entered the Kidbrooke
Convenience store and assaulted
him.
The owner charged at the
robber, who hit him with a blunt
object in the face. The victim
required 20 stitches.
No one has been charged
in relation to the robbery
and police inquiries are
ongoing.
Election bid for
former disgraced
National candidate
• By Sophie Cornish
A FORMER disgraced National
Party candidate is making
another bid to enter politics.
Businessman John Connelly
will stand for the city council in
October’s local body
elections. He will run
in the Riccarton Ward.
In the run up to the
1996 general election,
Mr Connelly pulled
out of the race for a
Christchurch seat after
allegations of a sexual
relationship with a
teenage girl, which
involved a videotape
and blackmail.
Mr Connelly decided to run
in the local body elections after
current Riccarton Ward city
councillor and former mayor
Vicki Buck announced last
month she will not run again.
“Vicki has been around the
town, a good person over the
years and she was never going to
be beaten and that was all about
it,” he said.
Mr Connelly said he is not
happy with the way the city
council is currently operating.
“People are hurting out here;
ratepayers, residents and business
John Connelly
people . . . I think there is other
ways things could be done,” he
said.
“I think what we need is a few
independent people in there.
People that can take some
middle ground. My campaign
will be on responsible
accountability and I will be
running on those sorts of
issues.
“Back to basics and focus
on normal infrastructure,
road, footpaths, rubbish,
sewers, water, parks and
reserves, sustainable and
environmental issues.
We’re not there to grandstand
. . . I am totally
opposed to five years of 10 per
cent rate increases. I don’t think
it’s practical and a major cost to
householders who are having a
hard time as it is.”
Mr Connelly said yesterday
it will be the first time he has
revisited politics since the general
election scandal.
“I think it is time to move
on and do the next thing.
I have years of experience
in Christchurch. That was
something that happened way
back then. Let’s move on.”

Councillors may get childcare paid for
• By Louis Day
RATEPAYER MONEY could
be used to pay for the childcare
of councillors and community
board members.
This comes after a new
policy from the Remuneration
Authority was released at the
start of this month which allows
councils to reimburse elected
members for childcare.
If adopted by a council,
members are
eligible to an
allowance
only if their
child is under
14 and the
childcare is not
provided by a
family member.
Deon Swiggs
Childcare
allowances are
also limited to $6000 a year per
child.
City council secretary Jo Daly
said it would consider adopting
the policy before September.
City councillor Deon Swiggs
thought the policy would be well
supported.
“I would expect our council
to support it and I will be
supporting it myself, not
necessarily for councillors but
for community board members.
It just takes away a bit of a
barrier for people with families,”
he said.
Cr Swiggs did not expect the
policy to lead to a rates increases
should it be adopted.
“I would not expect it to
come from any new money
from rates, I would expect this
to be absorbed from other
funds.”
“We have a catering budget,
news online at www.star.kiwi
do we need a catering budget?
Those are the things I would like
to look at.”
Cr Aaron Keown, who has
three children of his own,
thought city councillors were
earning enough to pay for their
own childcare and community
board members did not need it
due to it being a part-time role.
Councillors are paid $102,400
whereas the pay of community
board members varies between
$9864 and $24,580, chairs of
community boards are paid up
to $49,160.
Cr Keown said it was not
needed in Christchurch but
could be in lower-paid councils
across the country.
Cr Sara Templeton said she
would vote in favour of the
policy and saw it as a small step
to increasing diversity around
the decision table.
Cr Mike Davidson said he was
“open-minded to it.”
The Selwyn District Council
adopted the policy last week.
Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall
said he believed the policy would
ruffle feathers and result in
backlash from the community.
“There’s always going to be
someone saying, what are they
[the district council] doing? It’s
just a part of the job and I’m just
keen to get more young people
around the table and that is what
this is about,” he said.

March 15 motivates diverse range of
• By Louis Day
THE TERRORIST attack on
March 15 has seen a surge in
people from minority groups
standing for the city council and
community boards in October’s
local body elections.
Canterbury Malaysian
Society president Sam Yau said
a Malaysian Muslim killed in
the attacks played a big part in
his decision to run for the city
council.
Three Malaysian Muslims were
also wounded.
Mr Yau moved to New Zealand
from Malaysia 35 years ago. He
said he wants to be a voice for
migrants across Christchurch.
“We need to have diversity
on the council table so we can
understand each other and
hopefully the events of March 15
will never ever happen again,” he
said.
“We can only hope, of course,
but I believe that would reduce
the possibility.”
He will run as an independent
for the Halswell Ward.
Christchurch Multicultural
Council vice-president Manish
Pandey was born in India and
moved to Riccarton in 2008.
“One guy who died in
the attacks was from my
neighbouring region in India and
obviously that made me think

about this and led to me putting
my name forward,” he said.
Mr Pandey will stand under
The People’s Choice banner in a
bid to win a seat on the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board, representing Riccarton.
Former mayor Garry Moore
was delighted with the diverse
range of candidates standing in
this year’s elections.
“Diversity isn’t important in
politics, it is essential. If you
have got everybody the same, it’s
as boring as
watching paint
dry,” he said.
“People
should
welcome this
and encourage
it. Hopefully,
these people
get elected
on so they
can help their
communities
thrive.”

“We need ethnic faces in
council to tell the council what
these communities need, as well
as telling them what council can
do for them,” he said.
He will also run under The
People’s Choice banner.
Clive Antony, whose parents
migrated to New Zealand from
south India, announced last
month he will run for the Central
Ward city council seat under
centre-right political organisation
Independent Citizens.
He said he was encouraged to
run after March 15.
“I think Indian friends and

$1.1m gifted
for long-term
needs of terror
attack victims
MORE THAN $1.1m has been
donated to help support the
long-term needs of victims of the
March 15 terror attack.
In a ceremony with Mayor
Lianne Dalziel yesterday, the
international Jewish community
gifted the money, which will be
known as the NZ Abrahamic
Fund.
Said Ms Dalziel: “The
Christchurch Foundation regard
it as a privilege to act as stewards
for the NZ Abrahamic Fund
on behalf of everyone affected
by the attacks. The world will
remember the response long
after they forget
the name of

New Zealand Jewish Congregation

Goodman said the Jewish community
are unfortunately, well
aware of the long term needs that
stem from such an attack.
“We see this as something that
can enhance our two communities.
An attack on one faith is an
attack against all faith groups.”
The official ceremony was preceded
by a visit to the Durham
St Synagogue and the Al Noor
mosque.
Speaking at Al Noor Mosque,
Imam Gamal Fouda, who was
leading prayers the day of the attacks,
said the three Abrahamic
religions are very close, and
Judaism and Islam are closest of
all.
“We are siblings. What is happening
in the Middle East is not
about religion, it’s about politics.
People of religion share love and
humanity. New Zealand has
set a good example of love and
compassion. We are a model to
the rest of the world.”
Community advocate dies

A COMMUNITY hero whose
dying wish was to make her
neighbourhood safer has lost her
battle with cancer.
Gillian Sheard, of Richmond,
died on Friday after being diagnosed
about eight months ago.
She was given three to 18
months to live.
Ms Sheard’s plight to make
her community safer resulted
in an upgrade to a pedestrian
crossing on Stanmore Rd, which
she believed was often unnoticed
by motorists. Now dubbed
locally as ‘Gillian’s crossing,’
it was painted bright red by
council staff in a bid to improve
safety.
Last month, The Star reported
Ms Sheard’s determination
had paid off when she won her

staff to look at improving the
crossing.
She first raised concerns

Memories of the moon landing:
Sunday will mark the
50th anniversary since
humankind first set
foot on the moon.
Sophie Cornish
reports
WHEN AMERICAN astronauts
Neil Armstrong and Edwin
‘Buzz’ Aldrin touched down on
the moon, one thing was clear.
Just like the universe itself, the
possibilities were endless.
It was July 21, 1969 (NZ time),
when the pioneering Apollo 11
spacecraft and lunar module
achieved the momentous feat,
putting Armstrong and Aldrin
on the moon while Michael
Collins waited in orbit.
It became one of six manned
landings on the moon – the last
being in 1972.
The world stopped and
collectively watched and listened
to Armstrong’s infamous global
announcement: “One small step
for a man, one giant leap for
mankind.”
With no live television feed,
Kiwis tuned in on their radios to
hear the news live.
A delayed television broadcast
came later in the evening – about
four-and-a-half hours after the
landing. A Royal New Zealand
Air Force bomber had delivered
the tape from Sydney.
When they arrived back on
earth, the Apollo 11 crew had to
fill out Customs forms, declaring
their cargo as “moon rock and
moon dust samples.”
They were then quarantined
for 21 days – just in case they
brought back anything
dangerous.
The Star (known then as The
Christchurch Star) was a daily
afternoon paper at the time.
Hundreds lined up outside its
office for a chance to grab the
July 21 edition hot off the press,
hoping to be one of the first to
read about the historic event.
The headline read: “Man on the
moon the eagle has landed.”
“The successful moon journey
has produced the most historic

news in the The Christchurch
Star’s history. As a souvenir of
the momentous accomplishment,
The Christchurch Star present this
selection of notable pages,” read
the front page article.
“As the broadcast began, cars
slowed down, many drivers
bent forward to catch every
word on car or transistor radios.
Pedestrians could be seen
standing with a radio pressed
to one ear. Some motorists
pulled to the side of the road to
concentrate on the broadcast.”
It reported the two men
“liked what they saw so much
they decided to venture out on
the surface without taking the
four-hour rest called for in the
flight plan.” The 12-page Moon
Souvenir edition cost 10 cents.
A copy of the newspaper
was posted on Trade Me last
week with an asking price of
$25.
“All 12 pages are there with no
rips or tears. The pages are a little
browned and a bit folded,” said
the seller.
Where were you?
Fred Tunnicliffe remembers
the day of the moon landing.
He was working in the art
department at The Christchurch
Star when the news slowly filtered
around the building.
“There were literally hundreds
of people waiting for the paper to
come outside of The Star’s office
to see if there was any photos or
news . . . there were no cellphones,
no computers, no other media
except telephone, radio and TV,
but that was very minor. The
newspapers were very strong,” he
said.
“We were getting a hell of a lot
quite quick information, the odd
photo . . . it was quite amazing
for everyone to think it was going
around the whole world quite
quickly,” he said.
Sir Bob Parker was a 16-yearold
at Cashmere High School.
The former
mayor says he
remembers the
day vividly.
“I can
remember they
played the moon
landing on loud
speakers and
we all went out on the grass and
they played the audio of the men
landing on the moon.
How far have we come
since the moon landing?
•1970: The Soviet
spacecraft, Venera 7,
became the first probe to
land on another planet –
Venus – on December 15.
The probe managed to send
back data about Venus’
temperature, atmospheric
pressure and wind speed
before its signal stopped.
It transmitted information
to earth for 53min, which
included 20min from
the surface, in spite of
its parachute failing on
descent, causing it to slam
into the surface.

50 years since the Eagle landed
HISTORY: Lyttelton’s Fred Tunnicliffe with four posters previewing The Christchurch Star’s coverage of the Apollo 11 mission. (Right) – The Apollo 11
Saturn V rocket on launch pad 39A.
It was being broadcast live
on radio . . . so we all had time
off school and went outside, it
was history. This was the biggest
thing. To even believe that people
could do that, it was amazing. I
can vividly remember that day at
school.
“To believe that humans
in 1969 could do such an
extraordinary thing, it was like
the world was going to change in
that moment.”
Coastal Ward city councillor
David East was a student at
Shirley Boys’ High School at the
time of the event,
which he called
“fascinating.”
Cr East said
the historic
moment was a
memorable one
which you always
remember, along
with events such as Kennedy
being shot in 1963 and former
Prime Minister Norman Kirk’s
death in 1974.
NASA senior engineer and
Canterbury University Erskine
fellow Tim Atkins was a young
boy living in the US at the time.
“As a nine-year old boy, I
watched in amazement with my
family as this history unfolded
on TV. The lunar lander
precariously navigated above the
moon, gently landed, with only a
few seconds of fuel to spare, and
people stepped down a ladder to
its surface.
“America was in a period of
intense national strife, with
internal conflicts against racism
at home, a dubious war abroad,
and reeling from
assassinations. Even
in my youth, I felt the
weight of this. But in
this hot summer month,
people of all races and
political bents came
together to celebrate
this monumental
achievement.
Canterbury University Mt John
Observatory astronomer
Alan Gilmore remembers
hearing ‘the Eagle had landed’
just before he went to work that
day.
“After the landing, there
was a comment from
mission control that the
guys there were turning
blue from holding their
breaths as the lander used
most of its fuel seeking a
suitable landing site. There
was a quip that the astronauts
having to climb into space suits
in the tiny lander was like two
women getting into ball gowns in
a telephone box,” he said.
The 14.6m long space
station had just one
docking port. The first crew
aboard spent 23 days on
the station, but the three
men tragically died on their
way back to earth when
the air leaked out of their
spacecraft.

Bringing diversity to arts
Reporter Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
investigates diversity in
the arts
“WE NEED to diversify the
industry, we need to diversify
audiences and we need to tell
multi-cultural stories.”
That is Showbiz Christchurch’s
general manager Michael Bayly’s
take on the ongoing challenge
the city’s theatre industry is
facing to have diversity in the
performing arts.
The topic emerged after the
company had to run a second
round of auditions for its upcoming
production of Miss Saigon.
Showbiz initially failed to
cast enough male performers
of Asian and Pacific heritage at
its first auditions in May – but
has since found four additional
performers from Vietnamese,
Filipino and Chinese
communities to fill vacant roles.
Mr Bayly said while Showbiz
was aware casting for Miss
Saigon may
have some
challenges, it
was not insurmountable.
“We as an
organisation
are making

moves forward

casting for Miss Saigon may be challenging but it was not “insurmountable.” The
company last performed the production in 2009.
all aspects of the community.
We encourage diversity which
reflects our community,” he said.
Since the auditions, Showbiz
established a relationship with
the Vietnamese Society of
Christchurch – which includes
refugees who escaped to New
Zealand following the end of the
Vietnam War in 1975.
But other theatre-makers agree
while cultural diversity is a priority
in the arts, it is one of the
biggest issues theatre is facing.
The Court Theatre’s artistic
director Ross Gumbley said the
reality is that you have to search
the country to find appropriate
performers.
“This has always been the case
but we are slowly seeing more diversity
in our talent pool,” he said.
Independent Kai Tahu theatre
maker Juanita Hepi said there
are many barriers to having
diverse voices in the city’s theatre
industry.
This includes outreach, accessibility,
funding, connectivity,
family commitments and talent
retention.
“However the most challenging
barrier will be how we as
individuals and collectively,
respond to the inherent prejudice
and biases that continue to marginalise
diverse performers.”
“The dominant discourse in
the arts is elitist, still confined to
the Eurocentric and American
gaze which is a shame because of
the acts of creativity happening
daily in our communities, that
are not celebrated, acknowledged
or funded. Perhaps our gaze
needs to move beyond the horizon,”
Ms Hepi said.
She said there are not enough
opportunities for culturally diverse
shows in the city – and she
wants to see more.
But Mr Gumbley said things
are changing and they need to,
but creating more opportunities
for performers of different
ethnicities is a great conversation
to be having.
“We make it a priority to tell
diverse stories on our stages. It’s
important because Christchurch
has a diverse population and its
important we reflect that.”
In 2016, a controversial review
of Showbiz’ Hairspray hit
headlines over the casting of its
African-American ensemble for
the production.
Canterbury University English
and cultural professor Erin
Harrington, who wrote the review
for online website Theatreview,
said there was “so much to like.”
However, she then wrote: “I can’t
get my head around a production
that can’t see that staging a show
about integration, and that spends
as much time
with its black
cast members as
its white ones,
sees fit to have an
almost entirely
white cast. ’’
Mr Bayly said
he applauded
Erin
Harrington
the opportunity
to have the conversation
about
diversity and
ethnicity on stage, but calling the
cast “almost entirely white” was a
misrepresentation.
He said the cast was made up
of a wide range of ethnicities
including Maori, American-
Indian, African-American and
Korean.
But Dr Harrington told The
Star she wouldn’t change the
review.
She agreed it is important for
theatre to tell stories of diversity
including gender, sexuality, race,
ethnicity, ability and disability.
But Dr Harrington said Hairspray
is specifically about race, exclusion
and civil rights in America.
“There has to be a heightened
degree of thoughtfulness regarding
representation, which includes
the history of the play its
themes, as well as the way things
look on stage, which I thought
(and still think) was severely
lacking,” she said.
Dr Harrington said she struggles
to understand why companies
programme work they know
they will struggle to cast in an
ethical manner.
“There’s a great phrase that
gets used by people queer communities,
communities of colour,
disability activists and women’s
rights activists – nothing about
us, without us . . . this applies to
theatre, performance and representation,”
she said.
But Mr Bayly said with every
show it casts it has new people
auditioning coming forward it
has never met before.
“We must never anticipate we
are not able to tell those stories.
That would be keeping us closed
within our existing universe or
our existing community. We
are always looking to grow and
broaden our community and tell
a variety of stories from a variety
of points of view.”
But the obstacles theatre
companies face to cast actors
goes beyond the issue of cultural
diversity.
Mr Bayly said it is common for
Showbiz to run two rounds of
auditions – for a range of reasons
– including the availability of
performers and men particularly
over the age of 40.

ALTHOUGH WE won’t see much visible progress
on site until next year, the team reinstating one of
New Zealand’s most significant heritage buildings
and one of our city’s most iconic buildings –
Christ Church Cathedral – is busy with critical
planning behind the scenes before physical work
begins.
“People might be wondering why we haven’t
started physical work. This is a complex and
unique project and we’ve got to get the planning
right,” says Christ Church Cathedral reinstatement
project director Keith Paterson.
Reinstating means a combination of repairing,
restoring, reconstructing and strengthening.
“The Cathedral will look very similar, retaining
many heritage features. Importantly, the reinstated
Cathedral will be safer, with base isolation to help
protect against future earthquakes.”
“Right now we’re working out how to efficiently
stabilise and strengthen the building. At the same
time, we’re defining the enhancements required
to ensure the Cathedral is better equipped than
ever for future worship and civic events, while
respecting its heritage. Internally it will be more
functional, more flexible, and more comfortable,
with modern heating, sound and visual systems.
All of those elements need careful planning,” Mr
Paterson says.
The first step is stabilising the damaged building
so it can be worked on.
“We’ll be setting up the site early next year ready
for stabilisation, which will take 12 to 18 months.
Techniques might include supporting the external
walls, propping the internal walls, and installing
supporting frameworks for columns and arches.
After that the main Cathedral structure will be
strengthened, reinstated and reconfigured internally.

Cathedral reinstatement
‘going like the clappers’
This means people won’t see much action on the
Cathedral site this year, apart from maintenance
activities and some investigations.
“In the meantime, we’ve symbolically brought
back the sound of Cathedral bells, which we’ll be
‘ringing’ every Friday lunchtime using loudspeakers.
This is a reminder that this iconic heritage

I GUESS parenting isn’t
something that actually gets
easier.
There has been a recent change
in the nature of my parenting
experience.
My little girl hit the 18-month
mark last week and it’s like she’s so
much older all of a sudden.
There’s more word-like sounds,
she copies what you do and say
more (got to watch that road rage
swearing) and obviously recognises
words for certain things.
I’ve got a painting in the hall
of a medieval village scene and
Vittoria can point out the dog
if asked. That’s pretty cool. It
involves form recognition, word
recognition and the recognition of
what’s being asked of her.
But pointing out dogs doesn’t
fundamentally change my dayto-day.
What does is the fact that
Vittoria has finally cracked the
ability to climb onto the couch.
Therefore anything else of a
similar height.
That’s fine if I’m nearby but it
severely limits my opportunities
to leave her out of sight for any
length of time.
So there goes a relaxing
morning shower while Vittoria
VITTORIA
& Matt
Forced into eyes on
innocently enjoys Pingu. Who
knows what mischief she could be
getting up to?
I suppose you’d probably think
it would stop me from being able
to duck off to the loo as well, but
then you wouldn’t have a toddler
then would you? They can’t stay
away from an occupied loo.
As much as I’m lamenting
simpler times at home, I’m also
paradoxically super proud of her.
There’s been a couple of “how
did you get there” moments over
the last week, but one sticks out in
particular.
Vittoria’s highchair sits in the
kitchen, mostly unused. Climbing
it seems like a dangerous activity
and it scares the willies out of me
when she tries.
She was in the kitchen with me
the other day, helping me prepare
some food for her. I turned away
from her for mere seconds while
I washed up and in that time she
had climbed up the chair and was
happily sitting in it.
Terrifying.
Eyes on mate, eyes on.

THREE basketballers will get the
chance to learn from Kiwi NBA
star Steven Adams this weekend
in Christchurch.
Cashmere High players Louis
Oskam, St Andrew’s College player
Mac Stodart and Christ’s College’s
Mason Whittaker will also
take part with Cashmere player
Tom Webley selected but unable to
attend through injury.
Oskam was determined to show
off his skills on the court this year.
Now the 18-year-old has been
rewarded for his patience after he
was selected to be part of the Steven
Adams Invitational training session
at Horncastle Arena on Sunday.
The event is a chance for some of
the best secondary school players
in New Zealand to learn from the
Oklahoma City Thunder NBA centre
and other skilled coaches.
Just 12 months ago, Oskam
was selected but missed out on
the camp due to injury. He also
missed Cashmere High’s national
secondary school championship
campaign as well.
Oskam tore the meniscus in his
knee last year and then tore his
MCL at the South Island championships,
which made him miss the
team’s premier tournament.
“In the back of my head I knew I
had next year so I wanted to work
hard to get back,” he said.
The year 13 student, who has
been part of the Cashmere High
senior team for the past four
seasons is determined to finish his
school career on his terms.
“My first reaction was that it
made me really excited and I was
glad to get an opportunity at it
again,” he said.
Oskam said he believes he has
learnt how to use his size to improve
all the areas of his game.
He also takes his leadership role
seriously.
“We have to maintain our
standards and push harder to
be better at nationals, the senior
guys feel a responsibility to keep
improving.”
Oskam hopes training and
learning with top coaches at
the camp will help him achieve
his dream of playing college
basketball in the United States
next year.
ON THE RISE: Cashmere
High’s Louis Oskam has been
selected to take part in the
Steven Adams Invitational
camp at Christchurch’s
Horncastle Arena on Sunday.

UN youth
trip for Villa’s
head girl
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
ONE OF the biggest messages
Villa Maria College’s head girl
Eadaoin Roughan tries to pass
onto her fellow students is to “give
everything a try.”
“Giving it a go won’t hurt anyone,
you can only grow and learn
from it,” she said.
So while Eadaoin, 17, didn’t
know a lot about the United Nation
Youth New Zealand’s Global
Development Tour 2020, she
decided to take her own advice by
applying for the trip.
She is now one of 22 students
from across the country selected
for a month-long tour of Europe
and New York to learn about the
UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals in action.
Eadaoin has been chosen alongside
Lincoln High School’s Maria
Mendoza Nieto and Sujean In of
St Margaret’s College.
The tour, which begins in January,
will see the delegation travel
to London, Rome, Vienna, Berlin
and Paris.
The Sustainable Development
Goals are the UN’s blueprint
addressing global challenges
including poverty, inequality,
climate, environmental
degradation and justice.

OUR PEOPLE – ANDREW CROSSLAND
Life among the birds helps park ranger
Conservationist Andrew
Crossland has been
recognised by Birds New
Zealand with a Robert
Falla memorial award. The
city council park ranger
talks to Louis Day about
how birds have helped
shape his life and career
What exactly does your role
consist of?
A big part of what I do is
habitat development – I don’t
just look at birdlife. The default
is birdlife because we don’t have
lions, tigers and giraffes around
the landscape. But in New
Zealand by default a person who
is a wildlife manager, which is
what I am, goes into birdlife. My
interest is how to develop habitats
or how to recognise habitats that
are of value to wildlife and how
to enhance them and protect
them, and how to manage the
behaviour and activity of people.
So I look at Christchurch as a big
national park and it has layers. It
has got street layers, the factory,
housing, it has also got the parks
and it’s about facilitating wildlife
across the city without annoying
people and without people
annoying them.
Would you say birdlife is one
of your biggest passions in life?
Oh yes, absolutely. It’s a calling.
KEEPING WATCH: Andrew Crossland has been studying
birds since he as a teenager.
It has given me a really good
career and has taken me around
different parts of the world. I
am probably better known in
Indonesia than what I am in New
Zealand because I have done a lot
of exploration over there, and in
some cases, I was the first person
to visit since Marco Polo. Down
in Sumatra, I have identified
huge bird populations people did
not know existed anymore. That
all happened because in 1985 I
found a bird on the estuary in
Christchurch called the asian
wowitcher and, at that time, it
was one of the rarest birds in the
world and it wasn’t really known
where they wintered. They breed
in the Arctic and no one knew
where they went to. I was very
interested in this particular
species and two years later some
scientists surveyed the southern
part of Sumatra and found quite
a few thousand of these birds.
I finished university in 93 and
I found some old World War 2
military maps of the northern
part of Sumatra, about a 1000km
north of where the birds had
been found. So I went to Sumatra
in 94, 96 and 97 and many years
since, and I doubled the world
population of this bird. While I
was doing that I found thousands
of other species of bird that
migrate from northern Asia
down to Indonesia and Malaysia
and also Australia. Some made it
to New Zealand. I found that first
record for New Zealand when
I was 15, and that bird really
changed my life in terms of me
exploring that part of the world. I
speak the language and I met my
wife there and my kids are half
Kiwi and half Sumatra and we
spend a lot of time over there.
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Motueka, but I
grew up in Christchurch. I went
to Linwood Avenue Primary,
Linwood Intermediate, Linwood
High and then Canterbury
University.
How long have you been
involved with birdlife?
I have done it in a few phases.
I started doing this work in 1984
when I was 14-years-old, I think,
and became a consultant for the
council and then I worked as
an ornithologist for the water
services unit from 1997 to
1999, then I went overseas and
I changed careers and was an
embassy officer.
I worked for the New Zealand
High Commission Singapore
and then I returned and I have
been a park ranger since the
end of 2002 till now. So I have
been monitoring wildlife in
Christchurch for 35 years.
What is it you love the most
about your job?
It is great to get paid to do
what I love. It is great to start
on something when you’re a
teenager and get paid to do what
you love to do – not many people
have that privilege. I cruise
around the peninsula all the time
doing wildlife stuff, that’s way
better than working in a factory.
I have worked in a factory, I have
worked in a big flash office and
worn the big expensive shoes,
and now it is great to wear a pair
of shorts and go down to the
bush and the swamp, it’s great.
Why should people care about
birds?
We should care about all of our
indigenous wildlife. They have an
inherent right to live and it is also
a major part of our culture and
birdlife is one of the most visible
parts of our native wildlife.

spread his wings across the globe
Thursday July 18 2019 The Star
I believe all wildlife should be
looked after. Birds also represent
connection throughout the
country with the migration
networks throughout New
Zealand and overseas. Basically,
we have a responsibility to look
after wildlife here and it makes
complete sense to keep an eye
out for it. There is no greater
attraction of looking at colourful
birds in the tree. We share the
planet with these other life
forms and we need to be not
solely focused on our ‘your born,
consume and die’ cycle.
Has local birdlife deteriorated
or improved since you started in
your role?
I really started getting involved
in the major conservation efforts
in 1993. That’s when the wetlands
began to get built and there was a
period of mass innovation and a
lot of investment in the city from
then into the quakes.
There was an incredible
increase of birdlife and pretty
much every species of bird
was increasing until the
quakes. When the quakes hit,
unfortunately there were some
outbreaks of avian botulism and
thousands of birds died over
several years, but we now have
managed to stop that. We have
been very active in combating
that, and last year for the first
time, we had no avian botulism.
What do you see as the biggest
threat to the city’s birdlife?
I think it is human
disturbance. I think that predator
control is important and the
provision of habitat is also
important. But what we are doing
is we are trying to put people
in every space where wildlife
is. Humans have occupied big
chunks of the world but they left
a bit around the fringes, like the
edges of wetlands. But now we
have got adventure sports and
other stuff and we are occupying
them for wilderness cycleways
and other activities and now
we are occupying places where
wildlife has been consigned to,
and we are displacing wildlife. In
Christchurch, there is this sort of
thing where people need to enjoy
the wildlife and the environment,
and that is true, but we need to be
very clever in the way that we are
planning our reserve networks
to make sure every important
site has a sanctuary corner that
is not disturbed. We aren’t doing
enough and so there are some
significant threats to wildlife,
which are almost all to do with
too many people in the wrong
place.
BIRD’S-EYE VIEW: Andrew
Crossland surveying
birds, including the
asian dowitcher, on the
Indonesian island of
Sumatra.
How long did it take you to
learn how to spot a flock of
hundreds of birds and within
seconds identify their species
and accurately estimate their
numbers?
I guess it took a couple of
years to learn the skills. I’m not
the only person who can do
that obviously. When I began
to get into wildlife as a young
guy, before the Department of
Conversation was formed, there
was an organisation called the
New Zealand Wildlife Service
and also the Ornithological
Society, which is now called
Birds New Zealand. There were
a couple of people there that
acted as mentors and gave me the
opportunity to learn the skills
from them and then you quickly
learn stuff yourself, so I’m sort of
self-trained, but certainly rubbed
shoulders with some highlyskilled
people and a lot of that
knowledge has rubbed off on me.
How did you train yourself?
People say to me ‘you know
the name of a whole load of
bird and animal species’, so I
say to them name 50 types of
cars or dogs and they can do it.
Anyone who is interested in a
certain field and wants to gain
skills in that field quickly learns
through motivation and by using
resources. In the wildlife field, we
have field guides and books with
all the species on them and you
learn the field characteristics of
these species and you learn the
calls by simply being out in the
environment. It’s no different to
a car dealer who can name lots of
different types of car.
What was your reaction
to winning the Robert Falla
memorial award?
It is quite a prestigious award,
and normally you get it for a
lifetime achievement. It came out
of the blue and I wouldn’t have
given it to myself until 30 years
time if I even deserved it. It is a
great privilege to get it, it is kind of
just a bit early. Totally unexpected
and kind of overwhelmed by it. I
am sure there are a lot of people
out there who have done more
than me who should have got it
before I got it.

THEATRE/ARTS
news online at www.star.kiwi
Supernatural themes run through dances
WILD: Footnote New Zealand Dance choreographer
Ross McCormack (inset) has used sci-fi films as an
inspiration for dance performance The Clearing.
DO YOU think a dance
performance is simply about the
dancing? Think again, because
the Christchurch Arts Festival is
about to challenge that notion.
Rolling round in pine needles
and watching films may not
be typical preparation for a
dance performance. But for
Footnote New Zealand Dance
choreographer Ross McCormack,
it was the only way to bring a
performance, based in a natural
clearing, to the stage on July 31 for
the Christchurch Arts Festival.
“There are so many films with
people getting lost in woods.
Sci-fi loves things in the woods
. . . there is this fascination with
the surreal and the supernatural
colliding with your discovery of
something. So it became fun to
look at the idea of this and how it
could be the inspiration for a piece
of contemporary dance.”
The Clearing is a theatre-based
piece, based on five strangers who
head into a natural clearing.
“It’s a very abstract story,” said
McCormack, and has references
to hunting, being lost or afraid,
animals, land, mystery and the
supernatural.
The performance comes with
subtle environmental messages
“that audience members will
see if they look for them,” said
McCormack.
Getting the performance
festival-ready saw McCormack
and the dance company go into
the woods. “It started by hiring a
van and we drove around to find
some big, open clearings, small
clearings, ones exposed to the
weather and then we came across
some man-made clearings.”
Over seven weeks, McCormack,
composer Jason Wright and the
dancers brought the concept to
life.
“The first three weeks were
movie time. We were watching
films every day that took place in
a space.”
Films like Mother! and Stranger
Than Fiction have all played
an influential role in the final
product.
“Some of the dancers even said,
‘I loved that character and I want
to be that character’.”
McCormack returned to New
Zealand in 2016 after more
than a decade spent overseas,
and is now looking forward to
returning to his hometown for the
Christchurch Arts Festival.
“Every time I take something
back to Christchurch, it’s massive
because that’s where I took the
huge plunge into trying to get into
dance and theatre.”
Meanwhile, the musical dance
production Onepū is another
story with a strong Canterbury
connection.
The piece from Māori dancetheatre
company, Atamira, is
based on interviews from the
1920s with Teone Taare Tikao.
Tikao’s great-granddaughter,
Ariana Tikao, has worked with
creator Louise Potiki Bryant (Ngāi
Tahu) to create the soundtrack.
She will perform music for the
production on August 2.
“A lot of the music has been
inspired by his manuscripts,” said
Tikao.
“He has been a real inspiration
to me. It’s very special to see the
work embodied in such a way.
It’s physically brought it to the
current generation.”
Tikao said the story follows six
atua wahine, or female deities and
ancestors, who have control over
the principal winds of the world.
“It’s very evocative and
environmentally-based,” she said.

White to red – season for a change

THE CHANGING of the seasons
marks a changing of the guard for
wines too, as reds overtake whites
and roses in popularity.
Well, normally that is. Our

Marcus Armstrong has taken a
third and a fourth in the latest
round of the 2019 FIA Formula
3 Championship at Silverstone
in the United Kingdom. The
Christchurch racer banked
valuable points for the podium
finish on Saturday in race one,
then moved decisively forward
in the partial reverse-grid race

finishers.
Success for Canty

Canterbury’s under-18 hockey

by defeating Auckland
in their final. Meanwhile, the
association boys also won gold
by defeating Southern in their
final.

Luck goes New Brighton’s way
• By Gordon Findlater
NEW BRIGHTON’S road
to qualify for this Saturday’s
premier rugby semi-final saw
scenes akin to that on the final
day of an English football
promotion/relegation race.
In Saturday’s final round
match, New Brighton had a slim
chance of making the semifinals.
They needed to defeat
Christchurch at Christchurch
Park and then hope other results
went their way. They took care of
things on their end with a 45-24
bonus point win.
However, they still needed
Shirley to defeat Lincoln University
or High School Old Boys to
win against Marist Albion.
Brighton coach Scott Pawson
had his 13-year-old son Joey
keeping a keen eye on the live
scores from both other games via
the Canterbury Rugby Football
Union’s app. When the final
whistle blew at Christchurch
Park all indications showed that
Pawson’s side wouldn’t be taking
part in the top four.
“We knew that Shirley had
lost and my son told me Marist
were leading, so we knew things
hadn’t gone how we needed them
to,” said Pawson.
The coach then walked to the
middle of the pitch to congratulate
his players on the win, but let
them know it wasn’t enough.
“I told them hard luck boys
we’re not going to be playing in
the semi-finals. Then I saw my
son running over toward us waving
his hands. He told me Old
Boys had scored a late try to win
their game. I said you’re kidding
me,” said Pawson.
A quick phone call was then
made to confirm the result before
the side and their supporters
broke into wild celebrations.
At Bob Deans, Marist looked
like they had booked a semifinal
spot after a strong run
from Elliot Smith led to a late
Moeaki Toma try. However,
Old Boys bashed their way up

to the Marist line and with time
expired a Hail Mary pass from
Lupeti Fihaki picked out replacement
winger Jaron Chamberlain
– who was making his 50th
appearance for HSOB – to score
in the corner.
The try not only saw HSOB
claim the DCL Shield and also
dramatically impact the final
makeup of the semi-finals.
HSOB will now host New
Brighton – who they helped into
fourth spot – this Saturday.
“They’re going to be tough to
beat because they’ve played in
semi-finals and finals for the last
few years and we’re still rebuilding
the club to where it used to
be . . . we’ll give it a nudge and
see what happens,” said HSOB
assistant coach Peri Marks.
Meanwhile, the other semifinal
will see four time defending
champions Lincoln University
host Shirley who are making
their first finals appearance in 24
years. The two sides met in their
final round-robin match on Saturday
which Lincoln won 23-15.
Shirley will take confidence
from the way they finished the
match. They trailed 23-3 at
half-time before scoring two
unanswered tries in the space of
five minutes.

Black Caps deserve credit for sportsmanship
THANK YOU Kane Williamson
and the Black Caps for the way
you handled lady luck going
against you on the world’s biggest
stage.
In the years to come your
actions mean that as Kiwis we
can continue to jump on a moral
high horse whenever our mates
across the ditch inevitably return
as powerhouses.
It’s hard to argue that the
six-run overthrow incident with
three balls to play didn’t ultimately
deny the Black Caps a historic
World Cup victory . . . in the
aftermath of this I couldn’t help
but wonder what the Australian
cricket team would have done in
the same situation.
Would cool heads have prevailed
in the most unfortunate
of circumstances and the game
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
have continued in the spirit
cricket likes to pride itself on? Or
would the sandpaper gang have
swarmed the umpires and started
a screaming match until some
sort of ruling was made in their
favour . . . unfortunately we’ll
never know, but I’d bank on the
later.
There’s also the tantalising
thought of Davie ‘dumb dumb’
Warner ending up in a stand-off
with Ben Stokes which likely
would have resulted in the Australian
looking like a homophobe
outside a Bristol club.
We have every right to feel
robbed, but the way we’ve taken
the loss (actually a draw) to England
has been all class.
Yes, the lead story in the evening
television sports news each
night has been highlighting rules
which would give us every reason
to feel outrage.
However, the average cricket
fan in New Zealand has shown
the same class of the Black Caps
themselves and accepted luck just
wasn’t on their side and is looking
to move on.
I was lucky enough to be in
Australia last week to see the
Aussies crash out of the World
Cup and it’s a far different scene.
You could have easily believed
the team was swept under the
carpet or rubbed off like an old
coat of paint being taken to by
a sheet of heavy grit paper from
Bunnings.
Let’s embrace our Black Caps
who gave us the night of our
lives while Australia put shirts of
failure on a clearance sale across
the ditch.
DISCARDED: A shop on
Melbourne’s South Wharf
put Australian cricket shirts
on sale the morning after
their World Cup exit.

Rams title run evokes
memories of 1999 finals
The Canterbury Rams will
take the court at home
this weekend 20 years
after they last hosted
the National Basketball
League final four. Ahead
of their semi-final against
Hawkes Bay on Saturday
and possibly their first
grand-final appearance
in two decades, sports
reporter Gordon Findlater
looks back at the 99 team

IN 1999 it was a great time to
be a Rams fan. The franchise
hadn’t won a NBL title since
1992 but were given a boost
before the season even began
when it was announced they
would host the final four
tournament at their newly-built
world class stadium now known
as Horncastle
Arena.
Bert Knops
was involved
with the Rams
as either a
player or coach
from 1984 to
1999. He has
Bert Knops
fond memories
of the final four
weekend in 1999, although he
admits their ride to the finals
got off to a slow start and wasn’t
so enjoyable at times.
“It was probably the most
stressful year of my life to be
fair,” said Knops. “Yes, let’s have
the final four in Christchurch
with this nice new stadium, but
of course the pressure was on
to make it, otherwise the whole
thing would have been a flop.”
The Rams played the first
ever sports match in the indoor
stadium, which was the largest
in the country at the time.
They suffered a close loss to
the Wellington Saints 81-86,
which Knops remembers best
for the 30min delay at the start
due to issues getting the new
scoreboard up-and-running.
The 99 Rams featured the
likes of captain Jason Kyle, who
was playing his last season with
the franchise, Dave Langrell,
Rob Hickey, Carlo Varricchio,
CENTRE
STAGE: The
Canterbury
Rams will
hope to
go one
better than
the 1999
side which
hosted the
final four in
1999. ​
IMPORT: Clifton Bush made a name for himself with the
Rams as one of the NBL’s best guards in the late 90s.
Craig Farrant, Rewi Manahi,
Andrew Johnstone, and United
States imports Clifton Bush and
Robert Wilson.
With three games remaining
in the season, the Rams needed
to win them all and hope other
results went their way. An away
win against the Saints, which
saw Wilson score 40 points
and grab 20 rebounds, and
bench-warmer Shane Lawrence
play an impressive 15min, was
instrumental in their finals bid
not turning into a disaster.
The Rams advanced to the
final by defeating a North
Harbour team which featured
a young Kirk Penney. However,
they were no match for the
Auckland Rebels in the final.
The Tab Baldwin coached
Rebels were led by Pero
Cameron, who was in his prime,
Dillon Boucher, Paul Henare
and Kenny Stone.
“We were a very workmanlike
team, as most Rams teams
have been over the years. We
weren’t laden with stars, but
we knew how to get the job
done,” said Kyle, who now has
a landscaping business and
lives in Mandurah, Western
Australia.
“It was a good effort by the
team we had on paper to get to
the finals and put in a pretty
good performance though.”
The loss in the final also
marked the end of an era
with many players, including
Kyle and Knops, moving on
and the Rams coming under
the new ownership of John
Watson.
A strong contingent of the
99 team are expected to attend
this weekend’s finals due
to a fundraising dinner on
Friday for former Ram, Lionel
Hopkins, who is battling cancer.
MULTI-TALENTED: Commonwealth Games gold medalist
Kim Mickle is coaching javelin and AFL in Christchurch.

Aussie gold medal
winner wants to
grow AFL in Chch
• By Gordon Findlater
AUSTRALIAN Commonwealth
Games gold medal javelin
thrower Kim Mickle has two
dream goals in Christchurch. To
get someone to the Olympics and
to set up a women’s AFL league in
the city.
Mickle, 34, is best known for
winning gold in the javelin at the
2014 Glasgow Commonwealth
Games. She moved to
Christchurch in 2017 and has
been working as a contracted
throw coach at Athletics New
Zealand. However, she is now
also passing on skills in her other
favourite sport Australian rules
football.
Mickle grew up in Perth
wanting to play AFL but, at the
time, there was no pathway for
girls looking to pursue it seriously
so she instead turned to athletics.
However, following the 2016
Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Mickle
signed a professional contract
with the Fremantle Dockers to
play in the inaugural season of
the AFL Women’s league in 2017.
Her spell in the sport only lasted
two games after sustaining a
ruptured ACL.
Mickle is now hoping to
unearth a future AFLW star
in Christchurch after recently
coming on board as a coach at the
Christchurch Bulldogs club.
“Women’s footy in Australia
is getting huge. I thought it
would be kind of cool to try and
boost AFL here in New Zealand
because I think it’s a great sport,”
said Mickle.
Last year a crowd of 53,000
attended the AFLW final between
the Adelaide Crows and Carlton
at Adelaide Oval.
She first found out about AFL
clubs in Christchurch through
fellow Australian Dale Stevenson,
who coaches Tom Walsh.
Stevenson played a number of
seasons for the Bulldogs.
“He rang up and said the
Bulldogs are here, they’re a great
club and would you like to be
involved?” said Mickle.
The Bulldogs are made up of
players who have moved across
the ditch and former rugby union
players looking to learn a new
code.
“We’ve got a few rugby players
that want to throw the ball like
a rugby pass, so the challenge of
making people AFL-smart and
not just footy-smart is quite a
challenge,” said Mickle.
A big adjustment for people
who have played rugby is
becoming accustomed to the 360
degree awareness of what is going
on around them, she said.
“In AFL you can be tackled
from any direction, whereas in
rugby the impact is usually from
in front of you.”
Much like the challenge of
selling her beloved AFL to a
rugby happy crowd, Mickle also
says boosting the popularity of
javelin with young athletes in
Christchurch has been a challenge
too. “In Australia, it’s booming,
but here obviously everyone
wants to be a shot-putter like Tom
Walsh or Valerie Adams.”

CARLTON REDCLIFFS and Southern
United took the spoils in the Porritt Cup
grand-finals at Nga Puna Wai over the
weekend.
In the women’s final, Carlton Redcliffs
and Harewood – both without a number
of under-18 reps – played out a goal-fest.
Carlton Redcliffs dominated the early
stages of the match and found themselves
6-2 up at half-time.
But Harewood fought back in the third
quarter to narrow the gap to 8-6 heading
into the final quarter.
Harewood pushed for victory, but
Carlton Redcliffs proved too good,
winning 10-6 to take back-to-back titles.
In the men’s final, Avon and Southern
played out a back and forth match, which
saw Avon hold a slim 3-2 lead heading into
the final quarter.

Chiselled design
for Lexus UX
IF YOU WANT something
out of the mainstream and
styling is important in your
sport utility vehicle buying
decision, then the new
Lexus UX range should be
a consideration.
The UX oozes style, it has
an edgy, chiselled design,
and with its bold up-front
appearance it certainly
captures attention in a very
crowded mid-size SUV
market.

The engine has also been

you’d expect nothing less
from the manufacturer.
Lexus claims a 5.8-litre

average. That sits well with
the evaluation car’s readout
which was constantly
listing at around 7l/100km
(40mpg). At 100km/h the
engine is turning over quite
slowly at 1500rpm, sipping
fuel at an instantaneous rate
of just 5l/100km (56mpg).
The UX travels with
dignity and high levels of
comfort. In F-Sport trim,
red and black leather seats
are on offer, and they look
just great and feel even
better to be in. The layout
of the controls and dash
panel area is very much
in-line with other Lexus
models, the materials are
high grade, and there is a
wealth of functions and
specification items.
Importantly, for me, the
UX is a fine combination of
what small families would
require in an SUV purchase
along with the feel and
performance you can expect
from the brand overall. It’s
no sports car, but it does
have a feel-good factor from
behind the wheel and, as
I’ve eluded to, it looks great.
Not only will the UX
have an internal battle in
terms of sales, the NX and
RX series from the same
stable are crossover models
which have commanded
a good part of the luxury
SUV market, it will also
have to battle Toyota’s new
RAV4 and other mid-size
stalwarts.
However, given the UX
price positioning and
choice within the series it
will be popular for those
who want a taste of luxury
and a bold presence.
Winter conditions require
different techniques
TYPICAL winter
conditions now dominate
with frosts, chilly prevailing
winds, wet and cold soil –
hardly inviting gardening
weather.
However, the gloom of
winter is ‘lightened’ by the
appearance of flowers on
azaleas, camellias, daphne,
early flowering rhododendrons
and the first of the
flowering cherries ‘Prunus
campanulate’.
Houseplants
A reminder not to overwater
your houseplants in
winter, some plants require
watering only once a week.
A light misting of indoor
plants with lukewarm water
helps prevent leaves from
drying in heated indoor
conditions, you may need
to shift your houseplants
during the winter months
as parts of the house
can become too dark for
healthy growth.
Vegetable garden
Continue harvesting
winter maturing vegetables,
artichoke (Jerusalem),
broccoli, brussells sprouts,
cabbages, cauliflowers, carrots,
celery, leeks, lettuce,
parsnips, peas, silverbeet,
spinach and swedes. Spread
compost around maturing
vegetables as this helps
absorb excess water during
winter downpours and
eventually improve the soil.
By raising vegetable plots
drainage is enhanced and
vegetable growth improved.
Flowering annuals
Winter flowering annuals
should now be providing
masses of colour in your
garden and containers. Remove
dead flowers, ‘deadheading’
from the plants
to encourage continuous
blooming throughout
winter. Flowering annuals
for winter display include

Should I sell my house
by myself?
Selling a property is easy, right? All
you need to do is stick a ‘for sale’
sign out front, put a few photos
online and hold a couple of open
homes. Job done! Why wouldn’t
you do it yourself?
The fact that private sales made
up just 10 per cent of all residential
property sales in New Zealand in the
year to July (down from 13 per cent in
2017 and 17 per cent in 2014) might
be a clue that it’s not as simple and
straightforward as you might think.
Research by the industry membership
organisation Real Estate Institute of
New Zealand (REINZ) found that the
median price for properties sold by real
estate agents was 10.9 per cent higher
than private sales.
“Property transactions are big
financial deals and they can get
complicated very quickly,” says Real
Estate Authority chief executive Kevin
Lampen-Smith.
“Selling a home, which is likely to
be your biggest asset as well as being a
physical and emotional roof over your
head, is not like selling a used car or
flogging your unwanted Christmas
presents on TradeMe.”
If you decide to sell your property
privately, you will absolutely save on the
commission that you’d otherwise pay a
real estate agent,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Your target is to get at least close to
what an agent would get for your house.
You pay commission to an agent for
them to get the best price and that extra
value is what they will tell you pays your
commission for you, along with less
hassle on the DIY front.”
You know your property better than
anyone, so you’re in a good position to
‘sell’ its features. You’ll have complete
control over the process because you’ll
be dealing directly with potential
buyers. You get to decide every step
of the process, including choosing the
method of sale and setting the price.
However, with complete power comes
complete responsibility, Lampen-Smith says.
“When you’re selling a property, you
have a legal obligation to share all the
relevant information about it, such as
any issues with the boundary or title, any
unconsented building work or alterations,
any known weathertightness issues
and whether there are any proposed
developments that could have an impact

LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES
on a buyer’s access, views or enjoyment.
“If you fail to do this, you could
be in breach of your agreement with
the buyer. This could put the sale in
jeopardy, or the buyer could seek
compensation and take you to court.”
Lampen-Smith says would-be private
sellers will need sharp marketing and
negotiation skills, as well as the ability to
be objective.
“What you think of the property and
what it’s worth won’t necessarily be
shared by potential buyers,” he says.
“It’s easy to sell a property when there
are a few houses for sale and many buyers,
but the market isn’t as buoyant now in
parts of the country as it was a year ago.
Your expectations of price and ease of sale
are aligned with market conditions. These
are things that real estate agents think
about day in and day out.”
If you’re still keen to DIY it, make
sure you’ve got some good advice from
the experts.
“It can be very useful to get an
independent assessment of what your
property is worth, so you can work out
the price you’ll be willing to accept,”
Lampen-Smith says.
“You can research online (for free)
or pay for a registered valuation. We
strongly recommend that you use a
lawyer or conveyancer to handle all the
legal documentation, including the sale
and purchase agreement. You may also
want to consider help when it comes
to preparing the property for viewings,
whether that means engaging a home
staging company who will make it look
pretty, or a trusted friend to run any
open homes.”
Ultimately, there’s no reason why you
can’t sell your own property if you think
you’ve got the time, skills and energy.
You’ll need to be ready to juggle a lot
of things at once – including marketing
and negotiation – on top of your usual
responsibilities. Whatever you do, make
sure you go into the process with your
eyes open.
