Scott Watson<br />
will know his<br />
fate tomorrow<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
CONVICTED double murderer<br />
Scott Watson will know<br />
tomorrow afternoon if his<br />
fifth bid for freedom has been<br />
successful.<br />
Watson will appear before<br />
the Parole Board tomorrow<br />
morning, his first since November<br />
2021 when he was denied<br />
release.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board then found he was<br />
well behaved in prison but had<br />
tested a high psychopathy<br />
score.<br />
Watson is also appearing<br />
before the Court of Appeal in<br />
June in an attempt to get his<br />
conviction overturned. His<br />
application to include an<br />
academic report on eyewitness<br />
memory in the upcoming<br />
appeal was thrown out by Court<br />
of Appeal on <strong>May</strong> 21.<br />
Watson is serving a life<br />
sentence for the 1998 murders<br />
of Ben Smart, 21, and Olivia<br />
Hope, 17. He has always<br />
maintained his innocence for<br />
the murders.<br />
Smart and Hope’s bodies<br />
have never been found. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
had been at a New Year’s Eve<br />
party at Furneaux Lodge in the<br />
Marlborough Sounds.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were last seen about 4am<br />
on January 1, when the pair<br />
were dropped off with a mystery<br />
man to a yacht by water-taxi<br />
driver Guy Wallace, who was a<br />
bar tender at the lodge.<br />
Wallace did not initially<br />
identify Watson as the mystery<br />
man, but later said when shown<br />
other photos he believed the<br />
man resembled Watson. He<br />
later recanted that saying he<br />
believed Watson had been<br />
wrongly convicted.<br />
Wallace committed suicide in<br />
Greymouth in 2021.<br />
Watson is scheduled to appear<br />
before the Parole Board at<br />
10.<strong>30</strong>am tomorrow.<br />

VICTIMS: Ben Smart and Olivia Hope disappeared in<br />
the early hours of New Year’s Day, 1998.<br />
Population<br />
in Chch<br />
leaps 6.1%<br />
census data<br />
reveals<br />
• By Daniel Alvey and Kate<br />
Newton<br />
CHRISTCHURCH has grown<br />
by 6.1 per cent, 2023 Census data<br />
shows.<br />
Over the past decade, its population<br />
has risen from 341,469 to<br />
391,383. Christchurch now makes<br />
up 7.8 per cent of New Zealand’s<br />
population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> figures<br />
show New Zealand’s<br />
population<br />
was 4,993,923<br />
million when the<br />
count was carried<br />
out in March<br />
last year, with<br />
the population<br />
growing by about<br />
Rosemary<br />
Goodyear<br />
295,000 since 2018, with growth<br />
stunted due to Covid-19 and fewer<br />
babies being born.<br />
Stats NZ principal analyst Rosemary<br />
Goodyear told RNZ after<br />
“unusually high growth” between<br />
the 2013 and 2018 censuses, the<br />
growth rate had nearly halved,<br />
from 10.8 per cent to 6.3 per cent.<br />
“Migration fell off a cliff with<br />
Covid . . . but we’ve also had a<br />
lower fertility rate.”<br />
Christchurch had the lowest<br />
rate of increase, compared to<br />
neighbouring districts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Selwyn District’s<br />
population continues to be by far<br />
the fastest growing in the country.<br />

Teen nabbed at ‘absolutely stupid’ speed<br />
A TEENAGER faces a serious<br />
driving charge and has lost his<br />
car after the vehicle was caught<br />
at an “absolutely stupid” speed.<br />
Christchurch Highway Patrol<br />
Constable Scott Agnew had<br />
just finished writing a ticket<br />
at 12.55pm on Tuesday when<br />
a Holden Commodore came<br />
“screaming down the Southern<br />
Motorway” at more than<br />
double the legal speed limit.<br />
THE CITY council has bowed to<br />
the Arts Centre plea for funding<br />
– but not the $1.83m it wanted.<br />
Instead, it is likely the Arts<br />
Centre will get about $900,000 a<br />
year to keep it afloat after a meeting<br />
between interim city council<br />
chief executive Mary Richardson<br />
and Arts Centre director Philip<br />
Aldridge.<br />
<strong>The</strong> agreement<br />
will now go to<br />
city councillors<br />
to approve<br />
alongside other<br />
spending over<br />
the next 10 years<br />
as part of its<br />
Long Term Plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> deal<br />
comes after <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong> asked readers<br />
their views<br />
on funding for<br />
the Arts Centre,<br />
which was severely<br />
damaged<br />
in the earthquakes.<br />
To read<br />
the responses go<br />
to page 15.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arts Centre’s<br />
campaign for more funding<br />
– specifically $1.83 million – resulted<br />
in more than 4000 people<br />
and organisations urging the city<br />
council to support it.<br />
“It was an absolutely crazy,<br />
idiotic speed.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are a lot of people<br />
on that motorway at 1pm on a<br />
weekday; a crash at that speed<br />
would have been catastrophic.”<br />
Police would not reveal the<br />
speed he was clocked out, but it<br />
is understood to be more than<br />
200km/h.<br />
With the help of the public<br />
providing information, the<br />
Richardson told Stuff the<br />
centre is willing to stop funding<br />
for repairs and maintenance in<br />
the short term (about $900,000<br />
annually), so long as the city<br />
council can help it find a sustainable<br />
funding model in the long<br />
term.<br />
More than half of all submissions<br />
to the city council’s<br />
draft 10-year spending budget<br />
vehicle was located at a car<br />
park in Rolleston, where police<br />
found two witnesses yelling at<br />
the suspected driver while he<br />
checked a damaged wheel.<br />
“This was a horrendous<br />
speed, putting other road users<br />
at extreme risk.<br />
“He’s very lucky, as are all the<br />
other people who were on that<br />
road with him,” Agnew said.<br />
“As a driver, the decisions you<br />
mentioned they supported the<br />
funding request.<br />
Despite <strong>May</strong>or Phil<br />
Mauger criticising the<br />
centre’s operations,<br />
some councillors argued<br />
agreeing to fund the<br />
centre would show the<br />
public the council had<br />
listened.<br />
Cr Aaron Keown said<br />
make impact not only you and<br />
those in your vehicle, but everyone<br />
else on the road around<br />
you.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> 18-year-old has been<br />
summonsed to appear in court<br />
on a charge of dangerous driving.<br />
His Holden Commodore<br />
has been impounded for 28<br />
days and his licence will be<br />
suspended.<br />
Council likely to meet<br />
Arts Centre halfway<br />
Mary<br />
Richardson<br />
Philip<br />
Aldridge<br />
RESPONSE: More than 4000 people and organisations urged the city council to support<br />
the Arts Centre in their Long Term Plan submissions.<br />
Aaron<br />
Keown<br />
many people would argue the<br />
city council wasn’t run efficiently<br />
either, and warned<br />
against “throwing stones<br />
in glass houses”, Stuff<br />
reported.<br />
Keown said the<br />
support for the centre<br />
was overwhelming, and<br />
“however we skin that cat,<br />
the cats got to be skinned”.<br />
NEWS 3<br />
In Brief<br />
Cathedral funding<br />
may be withheld<br />
Millions of dollars in ratepayers’<br />
money, earmarked for the Christ<br />
Church Cathedral restoration,<br />
may not be handed over if the<br />
project is put on hold. Christ<br />
Church Cathedral Reinstatement<br />
Ltd received $3 million from the<br />
city council in December with<br />
another $7m set to be paid out on<br />
August 1. But, if the restoration<br />
is halted, the city council may<br />
keep the $7m grant. At a Long<br />
Term Plan workshop last week,<br />
councillor Sara Templeton said<br />
the 2017 city council resolution<br />
to contribute to the cathedral<br />
restoration stated the money<br />
must be applied to the rebuild<br />
Council staff are investigating the<br />
conditions of the 2017 resolution,<br />
and the council will discuss it<br />
before August.<br />
Powerline tampering<br />
a growing problem<br />
A spate of powerline<br />
tampering and copper thefts<br />
in Christchurch has caused<br />
power outages, police say. Senior<br />
Sergeant Roy Appley said reports<br />
of powerline tampering and<br />
copper and electrical supply<br />
thefts have increased over the<br />
past 10 days. Officers are talking<br />
to scrap metal dealers as part of<br />
the investigation, Appley said.<br />
Man charged after<br />
standoff with police<br />
A 41-year-old man has been<br />
charged with threatening to kill,<br />
assault and kidnapping after<br />
armed police raided a Mairehau<br />
property on Monday night.<br />
Police cordoned off a house on<br />
Wanaka Pl and a 41-year-old<br />
man was eventually taken into<br />
custody after a negotiation.<br />

An Air New Zealand flight from<br />
Queenstown to Christchurch<br />

after a suspected bird strike and<br />
an “unrelated warning light”.<br />
Flight NZ654 was cancelled after<br />
the pilot made two attempts to<br />
take off but was forced to abort<br />
both on the runway due to<br />

Best mate’s life saved after son-in-law<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
MALCOLM LYALL is imploring<br />
people to skill up on first aid after<br />
he had to use his training to save<br />
his father-in-law.<br />
Saturday, <strong>May</strong> 11 was meant<br />
to be a day to celebrate. It was<br />
Lyall’s 67th birthday. But the<br />
dinner with family and friends<br />
at his home turned into a neardisaster.<br />
He was in the kitchen carving<br />
meat when he heard his 92-yearold<br />
father-in-law Eddie Willett<br />
coughing.<br />
Eddie was choking on his<br />
dinner.<br />
Lyall said it wasn’t unusual<br />
for Eddie to have the odd minor<br />
choking incident, but he was<br />
always able to pull himself out<br />
of it.<br />
But then Lyall’s wife Nicola<br />
called out to Lyall and said her<br />
dad was not coming right.<br />
“By the time I turned around,<br />
his lips were blue,” Lyall said,<br />
who is the deputy mayor of the<br />
Selwyn District. <strong>The</strong> dinner was<br />
at his Prebbleton home.<br />
Lyall rushed over to Eddie<br />
and gave him a hard slap on the<br />
back, hoping that would clear the<br />
blockage. It did not work.<br />
Lyall asked Eddie to stand, and<br />
as he did, Eddie collapsed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two people sitting either<br />
side of Eddie held him up while<br />
BEST MATES: Malcolm Lyall and his father-in-law Eddie Willett. When Eddie choked at Lyall’s<br />
home, Lyall used his first aid training to perform the Heimlich maneouvre.<br />
PHOTO: DANIEL ALVEY<br />
Lyall performed lifesaving<br />
abdominal thrusts.<br />
“I applied the Heimlich<br />
manoeuvre multiple times over<br />
a few minutes and managed to<br />
clear the blockage and get some<br />
air flow.”<br />
Lyall said he did not think<br />
when it happened – he just<br />
kicked into gear.<br />
“When dear old dad choked I<br />
clicked straight into first aid mode.<br />
I was saying: ‘Come on Eddie,<br />
come on’.”<br />
After clearing Eddie’s airway,<br />
“By the time I turned<br />
around, his lips were blue”<br />
– Malcolm Lyall<br />
they carried him to the kitchen<br />
to put him into the recovery<br />
position.<br />
Nicola and another friend had<br />
already called 111, one using a<br />
cellphone and the other on the<br />
landline.<br />
About <strong>30</strong> seconds before<br />
St John and a fire crew from<br />
Wigram arrived, two volunteer<br />
firefighters from Cromwell,<br />
who had been visiting family in<br />
Prebbleton, came through the<br />
back door to help.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y (paramedics) in and<br />
found he had gone into cardiac<br />
arrest. On my kitchen floor, they<br />
cut his clothes off and did what<br />
they had to do.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> paramedics cleared<br />
everyone from the kitchen so<br />
they could work on Eddie.<br />
“As I got up to leave, they<br />
were performing CPR on him,”<br />
said Lyall.<br />
He and the others waited<br />
nervously as the minutes ticked by.<br />
“It was all a jumble; I sat down<br />
on the couch and took a few<br />
deep breaths because I was<br />
exhausted.<br />
“I heard one of them say ‘We’ve<br />
got a pulse’ and that’s when a sigh<br />
of relief went through me.”<br />

FAMILY: Lyall and Eddie on<br />
holiday on Waiheke Island in<br />
February 2023.<br />
After the paramedics stabilised<br />
Eddie, he was transported to<br />
Christchurch Hospital with<br />
daughter Nicola accompanying<br />
him in the ambulance.<br />
Lyall and his other guests<br />
stayed at the house, had dessert<br />
and some tea and chatted about<br />
what had unfolded, while Nicola<br />
texted Lyall updates from the<br />
hospital.<br />
Lyall said it took a while for the<br />
adrenaline to subside.<br />
Later that night, he joined<br />
Nicola at the hospital.<br />
Eddie is now recovering in<br />
Burwood Hospital and remembers<br />
little from the incident.<br />
“I remember going over for<br />
dinner then nothing after that<br />
until I was in the ambulance,”<br />
said Eddie.<br />
“I was saying: ‘Come on<br />
Eddie, come on’.”<br />
– Malcolm Lyall<br />
“I’m just thankful to be here.”<br />
Lyall, who lost his father at 19,<br />
said he treats Eddie like his dad.<br />
“He’s my best mate,” Lyall said.<br />
Eddie lives by himself just<br />
around the corner from the<br />
Lyalls, after moving north from<br />
Oamaru. Lyall visits him every<br />
day for a cup of tea and sometimes<br />
a whisky.<br />
“I take him to the pub and he<br />
has a couple of pints every Friday<br />
night and if he doesn’t get to go<br />

Lyall joked.<br />
Lyall has had regular first aid<br />
training for 50 years. Now he<br />
is encouraging others to do a<br />
course.<br />
“I’ve spent 50 years as an<br />
electrician and for the first 15<br />
years I had regular first aid<br />
training every six months and in<br />
the last 35 years I’ve had regular<br />
first aid training every two years.<br />
“I would like to encourage<br />
people to train and do their first<br />
aid because you never know, it<br />
might be your relative, it might<br />
be somebody sitting across from<br />
you in a cafe,” Lyall said.<br />
“I feel privileged to have been<br />
able to clear his airway and keep<br />
him alive.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> hearing comes at the<br />
same time as an exhibition of<br />
Watson’s art at the Rei Gallery<br />
in Lyttelton.<br />
Two artists who exhibit at<br />
the gallery through the Rei<br />
Collective don’t want their<br />
names associated<br />
with the<br />
group while<br />
Watson’s exhibition<br />
is there.<br />
Owner<br />

Mackie would<br />
not say who<br />
the artists<br />
were, as they<br />
had requested<br />
temporary anonymity.<br />
“If they’re not comfortable<br />
with having their identity as<br />
part of, or connected to this<br />
exhibition, that’s fine.”<br />
Mackie said Facebook posts<br />
claiming artists were leaving the<br />
collective were not true.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re from people<br />
who really wouldn’t put<br />
any contribution into the<br />
community at all, keyboard<br />
warriors.”<br />
Mackie said the exhibition<br />
has been well-attended by about<br />
100 people since it opened last<br />
Friday.<br />
“People want to discover<br />
the creative practice and mahi<br />
of someone who has been<br />
incarcerated.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> gallery is hosting a range<br />
of Watson’s artwork, including<br />
paintings and carvings.<br />
Watson and Mackie first met<br />
during a prison visit in 2017<br />
after years of the gallery owner<br />
following the case.<br />
“I reached out to him, because<br />
I knew at the time we were<br />
supporting some carvers in<br />
prison, and Scott wanted to<br />

Ethnic diversity continues to grow<br />
• From page 1<br />
It has grown 29 per cent since<br />
2018, with its population increasing<br />
from 60,561 to 78,144 in<br />
2023.<br />
Waimakiriri District has<br />
grown by 11.3 per cent since<br />
2018, with its population increasing<br />
from 59,502 to 66,246.<br />
Goodyear said the pandemic<br />
between censuses had been “an<br />
extraordinary period” and the<br />
impact it had on New Zealand’s<br />
population was starting to show<br />
through where<br />
people were<br />
choosing to live.<br />
“People are<br />
going towards<br />
places that are<br />
on the outskirts<br />
of cities or have<br />
scenic values,”<br />
she said. Rosemary<br />
Christchurch Goodyear<br />
is also following<br />
a national trend of being more<br />
diverse.<br />
Since 2018, the number of<br />
people who identified as NZ<br />
European in Christchurch<br />
dropped by 2 per cent, with all<br />
other ethnicities experiencing an<br />
increase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of people who<br />
identified as Asian grew by 2.2<br />
per cent and now make up 17.1<br />
per cent of Christchurch’s population<br />
(67,050).<br />
GROWTH: Christchurch’s population now makes up 7.8 per cent of New Zealand’s total<br />
and is more ethnically diverse than ever.<br />

<strong>The</strong> number of people who<br />
identify as Māori grew by 1.3 per<br />
cent (44,022), the number of people<br />
who identify as Pacific people<br />
grew by 0.5 per cent (16,746),<br />
and the number of people who<br />
identify as Middle Eastern, Latin<br />
American or African grew by 1.9<br />
per cent (7422).<br />
While the North Island had<br />
the larger population increase,<br />
growing by 213,453 people compared<br />
with 80,745 people in the<br />
South Island, the South Island’s<br />
population had a higher rate of<br />
increase. It grew by 7.3 per cent,<br />
compared with 5.9 per cent in<br />
the North Island.<br />
<strong>The</strong> median age of people in<br />
New Zealand also increased<br />
from 38.1 years, compared with<br />
37.4 years in 2018.<br />
Census 2023 included questions<br />
about gender diversity for<br />
the first time, which will help to<br />
quantify New Zealand’s rainbow<br />
community.<br />
However, the results of those<br />
questions will not be released<br />
until October this year.<br />
Further data from the census,<br />
including people’s transport habits,<br />
household income and size,<br />
and access to technology, will be<br />
gradually released over this year<br />
and 2025.<br />
<strong>The</strong> previous census in 2018<br />
came under fire after it heavily<br />
focused on getting people to<br />
complete the census online,<br />
resulting in lower than usual<br />
completion rates and under<br />
counts of vulnerable populations,<br />
including Māori.<br />
Iwi counts were of such poor<br />
quality they were withheld.<br />
For the latest census, Stats<br />
NZ increased the length of time<br />
during which people were able<br />
to complete their forms and held<br />
1400 ‘assisted completion’ events.<br />
<strong>The</strong> agency said an estimated<br />
99 per cent of New Zealand’s<br />
total population has been<br />
captured in this census and 97<br />
per cent of Māori.<br />

Potholes patched but more work to do<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
IT HAS BEEN an eyesore for<br />
years, riddled with potholes and<br />
full of puddles in winter.<br />
But now the Hawke St<br />
car park at the back of New<br />
Brighton mall has had a major<br />
makeover.<br />
<strong>The</strong> car park’s transformation<br />
has quietly taken place over recent<br />
months, after years<br />
of angst from residents<br />
over who was responsible<br />
for repairing it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> car park has been<br />
a problem for decades,<br />
with damage worsened<br />
by the earthquakes and<br />
poor maintenance over<br />
the years.<br />
Previous attempts to coordinate<br />
repairs with the 22<br />
privately-owned sections of the<br />
250m long car park met with<br />
failure, but recent redevelopment<br />
plans announced for the<br />
mall appear to have jolted some<br />
landowners into action, filling<br />
in their gaps.<br />
One frustrated business<br />
owner who leased a shop bordering<br />
the car park once asked<br />
an obliging road crew to fill in<br />
the craters on her space with<br />
their surplus fill.<br />
<strong>The</strong> overall New Brighton<br />
Regeneration project is being<br />
led by ChristchurchNZ’s urban<br />
Rachael<br />
Shiels<br />
development team.<br />
Spokeswoman Rachael Shiels<br />
said the car park was looking<br />
a lot better, but there were still<br />
some potholes that needed to<br />
be fixed.<br />
“We’ve been working with<br />
various landowners across the<br />
car park to pull together a bit of<br />
a comprehensive plan.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s been some<br />
recent tidying up, which<br />
is really exciting, but<br />
we’re looking at future<br />
prospects for this space<br />
as well.”<br />
Work is due to start<br />
in the next few months<br />
on a pedestrian north/<br />
south corridor extension<br />
to Oram Ave, which will<br />
effectively cut the mall in half<br />
and condense New Brighton’s<br />
commercial core from 11ha to<br />
4ha.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> community continues to<br />
note the car park is something<br />
that they’d really like to see<br />
worked on.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re feeling pretty good<br />
that it’s looking a bit tidier at<br />
the moment, but (they) still see<br />
there’s work to be done,” said<br />
Shiels.<br />

Woolston Brass performs with world<br />
renowned Trombone Soloist David Bremner<br />
Woolston Brass brings you Seriously Brass: Paganini<br />
on Saturday 8 June, 7.<strong>30</strong>pm at <strong>The</strong> Piano featuring Guest<br />
Trombone Soloist David Bremner – Principal Trombone<br />
of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Music Director<br />
of the National Band of New Zealand, and Wellington<br />
Brass. Don’t miss this special concert showcasing<br />
exceptional talent and remarkable music.<br />
Woolston Brass will open the programme with Philip<br />
Sparke’s Land of the Long White Cloud. From majestic to<br />
pastoral to dance-like, this work is the English composer’s<br />
representation of New Zealand and was commissioned<br />
by the New Zealand Brass Band Association for their<br />
Centennial National Championships held 1980 in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Woolston Brass combined with Guest Soloist<br />
David Bremner will perform Belgium composer Bert<br />
Appermont’s trombone masterpiece Colors, a virtuous<br />
composition based on four primary colours; Yellow, Red,<br />
Blue and Green, where each colour characterises a typical<br />
musical quality. David will also perform Philip Sparke’s<br />
Sambezi, a virtuosic samba and jazz influenced work<br />
advertorial<br />
creating a joyful and vibrant mood.<br />
Woolston Brass will perform reflective work <strong>The</strong> Spirit<br />
Within written by English composer Ben Hollings that<br />
represents the human spirit and the capabilities of human<br />
emotion, which is portrayed by the thought-provoking<br />
harmonic language and quality brass band sound.<br />
Woolston Brass will conclude the concert with Philip<br />
Wilby’s major work Paganini Variations that was written<br />
to explore Paganini’s celebrated melody from his 24th<br />
Caprice with a set of fourteen variations, and recreates<br />
the wild and romantic spirit of the composer’s times<br />
while showcasing the full potential of modern brass band<br />
playing.<br />
Join Woolston Brass on 8 June to hear one of New<br />
Zealand’s finest and most versatile brass bands and their<br />

REMEDIATION work at the firescorched<br />
Ōhinetahi Reserve was due to<br />
start yesterday.<br />
February’s Port Hills fire burnt<br />
large sections of the reserve<br />
near Governors Bay, increasing<br />
rockfall risk and forcing closure<br />
of the popular Ellas Track.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reserve is owned by the<br />
Summit Road Society. It has<br />
started fundraising for restoration<br />
planting and investing in<br />
rock stabilisation work.<br />
“It’s a really popular track<br />
that really does need to be reopened for<br />
the public,” said society president Paula<br />
Jameson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reserve was also badly damaged by<br />
the 2017 Port Hills fires, which again led<br />
to a restoration effort.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> fires this time affected 20 hectares<br />
rather than 80, but this time we’re having<br />
Paula<br />
Jameson<br />
to deal with rockfall risk on the track,”<br />
Jameson said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council recently finished a<br />
rockfall risk assessment, identifying the<br />
areas where safety improvements were<br />
needed.<br />
Parts of the reserve will remain<br />
closed until the stabilisation work is<br />
completed. It was expected to take<br />
one to two days.<br />
About $<strong>30</strong>,000 is needed to purchase<br />
fire-resistant native trees.<br />
Jameson said the fundraising goal<br />
will only pay for volunteer plantings<br />
for this year.<br />
“If we want to do more extensive<br />
planting and get rid of a lot of the burnt<br />
gorse, we’ll have to contract people which<br />
will be a huge amount more.”<br />

Mum ‘disgusted’ by parents shaming<br />
kids at primary school cross-country<br />
A MUM HAS lambasted fellow<br />
parents for mocking pupils<br />
taking part in a school crosscountry<br />
last week.<br />
Alicia Shaw<br />
was on the<br />
sidelines, supporting<br />
her 6-and<br />
8-year-old sons,<br />
when she noticed<br />
the comments<br />
and behaviour of<br />
other parents.<br />
Alicia Shaw<br />
“I’m so disgusted<br />
by the<br />
behaviour, the attitude of some<br />
of the parents there and what<br />
they said,” Shaw said in a video<br />
posted to her TikTok account.<br />
“And bear in mind, my boys<br />
go to a Catholic school, they’re<br />
meant to be taught all these<br />
values . . .you’d think the parents<br />
sending them would have some<br />
of those values themselves. But<br />
they don’t.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> video of the <strong>May</strong> 14 event<br />
has since been watched over<br />
10,000 times.<br />
In it, Shaw said the worst comments<br />
were saved for year 3 and<br />
4 pupils nearing the finishing<br />
line.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se are 7- to 8-year-olds.<br />
As the run goes on, there’s<br />
always a pack of kids at the back<br />
who are tired, who are running,<br />
walking in between, and they’re<br />
really buggered.<br />
“At the very end . . . this dad,<br />
right by them, goes, ‘Oh, here<br />
comes the walking club’ and<br />
starts cracking up.”<br />
Shaw said her focus was on<br />
supporting the participants in<br />
a positive way, otherwise she<br />
would’ve said something to the<br />
man, who had no idea how hard<br />
some of the pupils had trained.<br />
“Because how dare you come<br />
at children who are tired, they<br />
have been running their little<br />
hearts out and they’re children<br />
. . . (to) laugh at them, it’s really<br />
disgusting.”<br />
Multiple children were walking<br />
past the man as he made<br />
the comment and many were<br />
exhausted and seemed upset,<br />
Shaw told the NZ Herald.<br />
“It was hard to tell if it was<br />
directly from hearing him or if it<br />
just added to an already exhausting<br />
and emotional time.”<br />
She also overheard other parents<br />
talking among themselves<br />
NOT ON: Mum Alicia Shaw has taken to social media to<br />
call out fellow parents for mocking pupils taking part in a<br />
primary school cross-country.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
and calling kids “slow” and “lazy”.<br />
“My sons are not into sports<br />
so it’s not something I have had<br />
much experience with, but after<br />
reading comments on my video,<br />
it seems to be a common issue.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re were many amazing<br />
parents and teachers who attended<br />
who were very encouraging<br />
so it is sad some took time<br />
out of their day to go and create<br />
negativity.”<br />
Shaw didn’t want to name the<br />
school “as I don’t want it as a<br />
reflection on them, but more of a<br />
widespread issue with parents”.<br />
For Shaw, the point of the<br />
crosscountry was kids being<br />
active, involved and trying their<br />
best, rather than making sure<br />
they won. Now she is unsure if<br />
she wants her sons to take part in<br />
next year’s event.<br />
“My message to anyone attending<br />
these events is just to be<br />
positive and not to judge kids,”<br />
she told the Herald.<br />
“If the parents making comments<br />
were in the same situation,<br />
I doubt they would appreciate<br />
others mocking them.”<br />
One of her sons was in tears after<br />
the event, and she’d watched<br />
his young friend put an arm<br />
around him and tell him what a<br />
great job he’d done, Shaw said.<br />
“I was beyond touched that<br />
young kids can be so empathetic<br />

Most pressing issue for new mums<br />
attachment disorders, expert says<br />
For first-time new mums Jadah<br />
Aramoana Coffin and Hannah<br />
Baker, parenting is as much about<br />
forming emotional bonds as it<br />
is responding to their babies’<br />
physical needs. <strong>The</strong>y share their<br />
pregnancy preparations with<br />
Frank Film’s Sally Blundell<br />
COT, WAHAKURA, bassinet,<br />
nappies, baby clothes. In two<br />
different homes in two different<br />
parts of Christchurch, first-time<br />
mothers-to-be Jadah Aramoana<br />
Coffin and Hannah Baker have<br />
worked through the required<br />
checklist in preparation for their<br />
new babies.<br />
But what comes next cannot be<br />
bought or borrowed.<br />
“I don’t think it’s that<br />
complicated really,” said<br />
parenting expert and educator<br />
Nathan Wallis.<br />
“In that first year of life, your<br />
baby is the centre of the entire<br />
universe, and you<br />
are their slave.”<br />
But it takes a<br />
village, he says,<br />
to support that<br />
one person, that<br />
“slave”, so they<br />
can provide that<br />
vital intimate<br />
relationship with<br />
this tiny, yawning,<br />
sleeping,<br />
feeding bundle of humanity.<br />
Nathan<br />
Wallis<br />
Where in the past, parenting<br />
advice tended to focus on sleep,<br />
feeding and bowel movements<br />
– a hangover from a time when<br />
infant mortality was high – now,<br />
he says, the most pressing issue is<br />
“probably attachment disorders”.<br />
“Especially in that first year<br />
of life, the more often your baby<br />
feels they’re in partnership with<br />
‘If you’re raised without<br />
that intimacy, you tend to<br />
be more prone to fear’<br />
– Nathan Wallis<br />
you, probably the brainier they’ll<br />
be, the more resilient they’ll be,<br />
the more fun they’ll be, the better<br />
their quality of life will be.<br />
“If you’re raised without<br />
that intimacy you tend to be<br />
more prone to fear, to be more<br />
reactive, you’ve got to look after<br />
yourself and you don’t get the<br />
opportunity to develop the reciprocal,<br />
loving, caring, empathetic<br />
stuff that you get in the context<br />
of a high quality relationship.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s probably nothing in your<br />
life that has as profound a difference<br />
as whether you experience<br />
that intimacy as a baby or not.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> village notion is largely<br />
gone – only about 20 per cent<br />
of New Zealanders live in the<br />
same place as our parents and<br />
grandparents – but in supporting<br />
young mothers, said Wallis,<br />
“I think we now have more a<br />
family of affiliations.”<br />
Coffin, 20, of Aranui, will be<br />
raising her first born within a<br />
three-generation household.<br />
“Everyone’s<br />
involved and want<br />
to be around to<br />
help with the<br />
pēpi – and<br />
looking after<br />
the mama,”<br />
said<br />
Coffin’s<br />
mother,<br />
Karla.<br />
Baker, 25,<br />
of Papanui,<br />
will be<br />
sharing the<br />
care of her<br />
firstborn with<br />
her partner Elliot Dowie.<br />
“Even as a little kid I wanted to<br />
make sure that whoever I marry<br />
and have children with, he’s very<br />
hands on. It’s a 50/50 game now.”<br />
Related or not, that “family of<br />
affiliations” allows the mother to<br />
focus on that vital one-on-one<br />
relationship with the baby.<br />
“Because you’re not necessarily<br />
born with all those skills to<br />
know how to look after a baby,<br />
how to attach to a baby, how to<br />
respond to a baby, how to meet<br />
their needs,” said Wallis.<br />
That foundational relationship<br />
also gives the baby a sense of<br />
predictability.<br />
“When you can predict what’s<br />
going to happen, that calms the<br />
lower brain, the survival parts<br />
of the brain. When you calm<br />
the survival brain, then you’re<br />
bringing to light the front cortex,<br />
all the good stuff in human<br />
development – language, literacy,<br />
numeracy but also empathy, to<br />
understand consequences, to<br />
understand the impact of your<br />
actions on others. But if a baby’s<br />
fearful, then you’re not evolving<br />
that.”<br />
It is not until about nine<br />
months old that a baby will<br />
recognise themselves as<br />
a separate person.<br />
With that, said<br />
Wallis, comes<br />
the fear that the<br />
parent is going to<br />
leave. “And then<br />
they cling and you<br />
get this separation anxiety for<br />
a few weeks. Parents will notice<br />
it – it’s when you can’t go to the<br />
toilet without leaving the toilet<br />
door open.”<br />
Wallis’ advice – just go with it.<br />
“Take them to the bloody<br />
toilet with you. If you go, oh no,<br />
I don’t want a wussy kid, let’s<br />
harden him up, then you just<br />
confirm to them that you are<br />
going to abandon them. So it<br />
makes it way worse.”<br />
Now, just days after giving<br />
birth, two new first-time<br />
mothers are absorbed in the<br />
everyday wonder of a new life.<br />
Baker strokes the downy<br />
cheek of her new son, Arthur.<br />
“Milk’s flowing,” said<br />
Dowie.<br />
“He’s happy, she’s<br />
happy.”<br />
Coffin gazes at her new<br />
son Te Awanuiārangi.<br />
That’s why she’s<br />
so tired, said<br />
her mother.<br />
“When he<br />
sleeps, she<br />
just sits<br />
there and<br />
stares at<br />
him.”<br />

Council’s funding priorities questioned<br />
THe city council needs to tighten<br />
its belt along with the rest of us,<br />
including the Arts Centre.<br />
If the majority of people in<br />
Christchurch cannot afford<br />
higher rates, and many made<br />
submissions to council telling<br />
them this, then cuts have to<br />
be made across many projects<br />
including the Arts Centre.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was a strong campaign<br />
to Save the Arts Centre with<br />
many making submissions in favour<br />
of council funding. But the<br />
Arts Centre will never disappear<br />
so what are they saving it from?<br />
Change of management?<br />
Council needs to focus on<br />
core responsibilities of water,<br />
rubbish, streets etc during this<br />
cost of living crisis. If we can’t<br />
afford something, then we can’t<br />
afford it.<br />
– D Downward<br />
I think our rates should be<br />
used on the water, parks, street<br />
lights, and other essential<br />
things.<br />
Roads should be left to the<br />
Government because rather<br />
than maintaining them the<br />
council does silly things like<br />
narrowing them, adding cycle<br />
lanes and reducing speed limits.<br />
It would be nice to be able<br />
to support things like the Arts<br />
Centre and Orana Park, but we<br />
just can’t afford it. My rates are<br />
crippling now, even with the<br />
full subsidy, especially since the<br />
rating value of my land (and<br />
presumably everyone else’s)<br />
almost doubled with the latest<br />
valuation.<br />

PRIORITIES: Readers are split on city council funding for the Arts Centre or whether it<br />
should focus on delivering core services.<br />
Funding the likes of the Arts<br />
Centre and Orana Park are a nobrainer.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se centres offer elements<br />
that are so important to a healthy<br />
culture. <strong>The</strong> amounts involved<br />
here are paltry when you consider<br />
the enormous amount of money<br />
spent on the council’s ego project<br />
of the stadium.<br />
When you consider the shortfalls<br />
in funding for the cathedral,<br />
you can’t help but see a pattern of<br />
ill-considered expenditure for big<br />
projects. Mauger’s own passion of<br />
wanting to resurrect a race track<br />
shows the mentality of some in<br />
the council.<br />
– Christiana Raphael<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arts Centre used to be the<br />
soul of Christchurch, the most<br />
popular centre around with the<br />
markets, shops, music and fun<br />
events organised by the council.<br />
After the earthquakes, the various<br />
councils failed to recognise<br />
that this event, be it terrible, gave<br />
it the chance for a new beginning<br />
for Christchurch.<br />
It is now a city with a sport<br />
stadium towering over it. <strong>The</strong><br />
Botanic Gardens are now for the<br />
tourists with the council planning<br />
to charge for parking in Hagley<br />
Park. I think they will regret that.<br />
– Dorothy Blindenbach<br />
Belfast<br />
Yes the council needs to<br />
support the Arts Centre by<br />
granting it the money. <strong>The</strong> Arts<br />
Centre is an established part of<br />
the Christchurch cultural scene<br />
and a drawcard for tourists with<br />
its proximity to the Museum,<br />
Ravenscar House and the Botanic<br />
Gardens.<br />
It’s a great use of the old University<br />
site and an irreplaceable<br />
part of Christchurch’s history.<br />

Drilling for gas<br />
I was involved in the oil and gas<br />
industry as a senior driller on offshore<br />
oil rigs for 15 years including<br />
six years on the North Sea. I<br />
also taught blow out prevention<br />
and well control in Singapore and<br />
London.<br />
I find it totally ridiculous<br />
that we should have oil and gas<br />
reserves in New Zealand and not<br />
utilise them when we have an<br />
energy shortage.<br />

Bevan Sisson sports<br />
column<br />
Interesting column by Bevan Sisson,<br />
(<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, <strong>May</strong> 23), on most<br />
recent All Blacks captain Sam<br />
Cane.<br />
Bevan is of course allowed his<br />
opinion. Criticism re Sam Cane<br />
goes with the territory.<br />
I, for one, always believed Cane<br />
was lucky to be an All Black, let<br />
alone the captain.<br />
I felt Crusaders great Matt<br />
Todd should have been there<br />
ahead of him. Matt was a fantastic<br />
all round No 7 and a leader<br />
in Razor’s early title-winning<br />
teams.<br />
I also think Sam Whitelock<br />
should have been made captain<br />
after Kieran Read retired. I<br />
do agree with Sisson that former<br />
All Black and Crusaders captain<br />
Reuben Thorne received unfair<br />
flack. He was an ABs captain<br />
with a more than 80 per cent<br />
record of wins and captained the<br />
Crusaders on an unbeaten title<br />
run in 2002.<br />
It is subjective re what is fair/<br />
unfair criticism. I believe Richie<br />
Mo’unga, the backline maestro<br />
for the Crusaders in Scott<br />
Robertson’s tenure as coach,<br />
received unfair barbs in his<br />
time in the All Blacks. I hope he<br />
returns to these shores sooner<br />
rather than later.<br />
– Graham Paterson,<br />
Redwood<br />
DIVISIVE: A reader says Sam Cane should have never<br />
been named as All Blacks captain, with Sam Whitelock his<br />
preferred option.<br />

Handing over the keys: Min Sarginson<br />
on selling real estate, and retirement<br />
Well-known real estate<br />
agent Min Sarginson<br />
has retired after 40<br />
years selling property.<br />
She talks to reporter<br />
Dylan Smits<br />
MIN SARGINSON lives atop a<br />
hill overlooking the wide, blue<br />
stretch of water between her<br />
Allandale home and Diamond<br />
Harbour.<br />
Nestled away from the hustle<br />
and bustle of the city, the<br />
73-year-old has a prime view<br />
of the bay area where many<br />
residents have entrusted her<br />
with one of the most important<br />
financial decisions of their lives.<br />
“When I started there was<br />
a gap between Charteris Bay<br />
and Church Bay and Diamond<br />
Harbour. Now it all blends in<br />
to one another. It’s really local<br />
knowledge you need to know<br />
when you’re stepping from one<br />
into another.”<br />
She founded Min Sarginson<br />
Real Estate in 1998, hoping to<br />
make a personal mark on the<br />
industry.<br />
With offices in Lyttelton,<br />
Diamond Harbour and<br />
Governors Bay, the company<br />
grew into the leading agency for<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
“I always felt even when we<br />
were the predominant player, we<br />
could never rest on our laurels<br />
because some good operator<br />
could come in and they could<br />
take you out,” she said.<br />
Understanding the unique<br />
requirements of her clients was<br />
critical to the agency’s success.<br />
“You have to know what<br />
people are looking for in local<br />
schools, how they are going<br />
to travel into town if they’re a<br />
commuter, that sort of thing.”<br />
Since enjoying time at home<br />
during the Covid-19 lockdowns,<br />
Sarginson had been considering<br />
when to retire.<br />
“Before that, I could not<br />
imagine not going into the<br />
office everyday. That was my<br />
identity. <strong>The</strong>n out of the blue I<br />
got a phone call from the Bayleys<br />
property manager in February,<br />
asking if I’d consider selling.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> sale to Bayleys Property<br />
Management was finalised on<br />
<strong>May</strong> 16, with Sarginson officially<br />
retiring on the same day.<br />
“For some time I’ve felt a bit<br />
of disconnect, like is this really<br />
happening?”<br />
Her family was “surprised”<br />
by the sale, but is “immensely<br />
proud” of her career.<br />
Born and raised on a small<br />
farm near Oamaru, Sarginson<br />
was the youngest of 11 siblings.<br />
She was a well-behaved child,<br />
she says, who enjoyed playing<br />
games with her sisters.<br />
“It was a fantastic lifestyle, but<br />
the family was spread over an<br />
entire generation. We weren’t all<br />
LEGACY: Min Sarginson at home in Allandale. <strong>The</strong> real estate agent has retired after<br />
selling houses for more than 40 years. Top right – Sarginson with her partner Richard Lyth.<br />
very close with each other.”<br />
Belonging to a large family<br />
caused a slight rebellious streak<br />
to develop, which helped when<br />
starting the agency.<br />
“It was like there were two<br />
lots of parents and I think<br />
being in that position as the<br />
youngest gave me a sense of<br />
independence.”<br />
Sarginson met her husband<br />
Euan through friends in 1972 and<br />
they married in 1974.<br />
“We lived in England for<br />
two-and-a-half years, had our<br />
daughter over there,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y moved to Allandale<br />
in 1980 and built Sarginson’s<br />
current house, which the couple<br />
moved into in 1987.<br />
“We had a shared sense of<br />
interest in travel and we really<br />
just fit together at the time. So, as<br />
many did in those days, we got<br />
married.”<br />
A notable fashion and car<br />
racing photographer, Euan died<br />
of cancer in 2004.<br />
Sarginson met her current<br />
partner Richard Lyth in 2010,<br />
on a cycling trip between<br />
Blenheim and Picton.<br />
Sarginson never envisioned<br />
herself as a real estate agent.<br />
She worked as a high school<br />
teacher in England and then<br />
‘<strong>The</strong>re was a bit of a<br />
reputation in those days<br />
for real estate agents to be<br />
a bit sleazy, whether that<br />
was fair or not. I always<br />
felt the house sells itself,<br />
so I wanted to do things<br />
differently when I got<br />
into it’ – Min Sarginson<br />
was a stay-at-home mum for her<br />
children, Alice and Finn. It was<br />
during that time her interest was<br />
sparked and she took distance<br />
classes.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was a bit of a reputation<br />
in those days for real estate<br />
agents to be a bit sleazy, whether<br />
that was fair or not. I always felt<br />
the house sells itself, so I wanted<br />
to do things differently when I<br />
got into it,” she said.<br />
After getting her licence<br />
NOTABLE: Properties Sarginson has sold over the years<br />
include Margaret Mahy’s former home at Governors Bay.<br />
in 1983, she worked at David<br />
Murray Real Estate for 15 years.<br />
“At that point I loved real<br />
estate. I was doing well in it, but I<br />
just felt like I was in a rut.”<br />
Eventually, she felt the need to<br />
strike out on her own.<br />
“It was challenging. Especially<br />
at first when people would<br />
tell me ‘you’re brave’, which<br />
doesn’t exactly help with<br />
your confidence, but I pushed<br />
through.”<br />
Over the years, Sarginson has<br />
sold everything from sections<br />
to notable properties, including<br />
children’s author Margaret<br />
Mahy’s former residence at<br />
Governors Bay.<br />
<strong>The</strong> movement of wealthier<br />
residents into the area has been<br />
a dramatic change since she<br />
started.<br />
Sarginson says the cultural<br />
shift was inevitable, but has<br />
caused the bays to lose its<br />
“pioneering spirit”.<br />
“With all the developments,<br />
many people have that sense of<br />
change. I once heard the saying<br />
‘the last person in wants to be<br />
the last person in’.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> increase in car ownership<br />
since the 1980s has also been a<br />
factor.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> sense of isolation,<br />
particularly in Diamond<br />
Harbour started to shift,” she<br />
said.<br />
However, Sarginson says some<br />
things about the bays have not<br />
changed.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> hill still forms a bit of<br />
mental separation between<br />
people. <strong>The</strong>re’s things that<br />
happen over here and things<br />
in the city. So there is a very<br />
different market of people.”<br />
Sarginson describes herself<br />
as a shy and reserved person<br />
in most aspects of life, but to<br />
succeed when connecting with<br />
clients she felt the need to adopt<br />
a stronger persona.<br />
“I’m not naturally sociable, but<br />
in real estate I have made sure to<br />
grow my confidence by learning<br />
the area. Now I’m very confident<br />
when dealing with clients’<br />
needs.”<br />
Now she’s retired, Sarginson<br />
plans to spend more time visiting<br />
her children and grandchildren,<br />
and going on cycling trips.<br />
“It’s very beneficial to just get<br />
out on the bike with your mates.<br />
I also do yoga everyday, and<br />
there will be a lot of down time<br />
for reading.”<br />
She has mixed feelings about<br />
ending her career, but is looking<br />
forward to more relaxation.<br />
“It feels fantastic, but strange.<br />
You no longer have this big<br />
responsibility anymore weighing<br />
on you.”<br />
Next month, Sarginson and<br />
Lyth will visit France as the first<br />
big trip of her retirement.<br />
TIME OUT: Sarginson at Lake Tekapo. A cycling trip was<br />
always a welcome break after busy days at the agency.

Longo scored in Tech’s 8-0<br />
win over Universities of Canterbury<br />
in the final qualifying<br />
round for the South Island<br />
competition which saw the side<br />
finish top of their qualifying<br />
group.<br />
Longo has made 133 full<br />
international appearances for<br />
the Football Ferns but withdrew<br />
from the squad for February’s<br />
OFC Women’s Olympic qualifier<br />
tournament in Samoa as “a<br />
precaution to avoid aggravating<br />
a calf strain”.<br />
She has not been included in<br />
the Ferns squad to play a twomatch<br />
series against Japan in<br />
Spain on Saturday and Tuesday.<br />

LINWOOD KEAS and Riccarton<br />
Knights have made a break on<br />
the Canterbury Rugby League<br />
Premiership field with victories<br />
over the weekend, while Hornby<br />
Panthers snapped their losing<br />
streak with a vital derby win.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Keas and Knights finished<br />
the weekend on 12 competition<br />
points, four clear of Halswell<br />
Hornets, with Eastern Eagles and<br />
the Panthers one point further<br />

Keas top table after big win over Greyhounds<br />
of a convincing 36-4 victory<br />
over Greymouth Greyhounds at<br />
Papanui Domain.<br />
<strong>The</strong> defending champs led<br />
24-0 at halftime before the<br />
Greyhounds, who were coming<br />
off a historic maiden premiership<br />
win the previous weekend,<br />
crossed first after the break<br />
through Zebadiah Thompson. But<br />
any thoughts of a fightback were<br />
dashed by tries to Keas centre<br />
Matthew Logopati and prop<br />
George Faaiva.<br />
Riccarton earned a sixth<br />
straight win in a 22-20 nail-biter<br />
against Eastern Eagles at Wainoni<br />

Park. <strong>The</strong> home side led 10-6 at<br />
halftime, but the Knights rallied<br />
to a 22-14 advantage as secondrower<br />
Sidney Tagicakibau and<br />
centre Tristan Griffith scored.<br />
Eagles front-rower D’Angelo<br />
Siu-Tauti dotted down to set up a<br />
grandstand finish, but the Knights<br />
did enough to close out the match.<br />
Meanwhile, Hornby arrested<br />
a three-game slide and defied<br />
Halswell’s club day support with a<br />
gritty 20-14 win.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hornets took an early lead<br />
with winger Jared Sherwin and<br />
halfback Jacob Nyman scoring the<br />
opening two tries. Asafo Gali then<br />
put the Panthers on the board<br />
before halftime and Christian<br />
Fetu grabbed the first two tries of<br />
the second stanza.<br />
Joshua Aileone closed the gap<br />
to two points with 10 minutes to<br />
go, before a Tauvale Tauvale try<br />
sealed victory for the Panthers.<br />

Dramatic change needed to fix<br />
unsustainable rugby landscape<br />

WHEN WILL New Zealand<br />
Rugby and the provincial unions<br />
realise the game isn’t the shining<br />
golden cloak of NZ sport. <strong>The</strong><br />
landscape isn’t changing – it’s<br />
changed, got dressed and left the<br />
sheds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Players’ Association<br />
has laid down an ultimatum<br />
to change the governance or<br />
they will force an even greater<br />
disruption.<br />
Its chief Rob Nichol has<br />
put the blame squarely at the<br />
provincial unions for stopping<br />
the introduction of a new model<br />
as the unions struggle to keep<br />
control.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NPC and the community<br />
game need to have a completely<br />
separate amateur body. This<br />
new body would realise it is<br />
unsustainable to fly around the<br />
country and stay in hotels and<br />
pay players, in what should be<br />
an amateur competition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> salary cap for the NPC is<br />
$1.1 million with some unions<br />
reporting spending up to $1.4m<br />
– money that doesn’t need to be<br />
spent. That excludes coaches and<br />
support staff.<br />
<strong>The</strong> crowds don’t warrant it<br />
and the viewing audiences don’t<br />
justify it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> competition format needs<br />
to change.<br />
One option could be a<br />
conference system with North<br />
and South Island conferences,<br />
with the winner of each<br />
conference playing in a final.<br />
It should have a promotionrelegation<br />
component for<br />
something to aspire to. This<br />
could also open up the door for<br />
an extra Heartland team for the<br />
South Island to be introduced,<br />
such as Canterbury Country.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be many differing<br />
ideas on how a new format<br />
should look:<br />
• Removing payments to<br />
players.<br />
• No day training but after<br />
work sessions, with player and<br />
team reviews done online.<br />
• <strong>The</strong>y bus to and from games<br />
where they can, saving money<br />
on expensive flights. Look at<br />
the situation South Canterbury<br />
ended up with, missing out on<br />
a shield challenge due to the<br />
costs of flights, stopping players<br />
having a shot at the shield.<br />
• Games played at parks with<br />
no television requirements,<br />
allowing them to be played at<br />
local domains for everyone to<br />
watch local players they identify<br />
with. <strong>The</strong> success of Canterbury<br />
v Auckland last year at Rangiora<br />
Showgrounds proved it can be<br />
done.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> Super Rugby franchises<br />
will have scouts looking at<br />
these games and there is still<br />
an opportunity for someone<br />
that has slipped through to get<br />
picked up by a franchise.<br />
Now to the professional game.<br />
Let’s be honest, most of the top<br />
players have played minimal or<br />
any club rugby or even NPC.<br />
Look at the case of young<br />
Jamie Hannah, ex Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High. He is a great young<br />
player with real ability. Straight<br />
SPLIT: New Zealand Rugby Players’ Association chief Rob Nichol has threatened to form a<br />
new body, which will be established to govern the professional game if NZ Rugby doesn’t<br />
vote on governance reforms by the end of the month.<br />

out of high school and into the<br />
Crusaders Academy via Lincoln<br />
University.<br />
His path has been Crusaders<br />
U20s, NZ U20s and then into<br />
the Crusaders. No NPC pathway<br />
for that young fella. Aaron<br />
Webb, the Crusaders Academy<br />
and talent ID manager,<br />
identified his class early,<br />
enabling him to be fast-tracked.<br />
It does raise questions though.<br />
What happens to the<br />
professional players between<br />
Super Rugby seasons? Could<br />
the Crusaders do a longer offseason<br />
tour to generate income,<br />
enabling them to trial fringe<br />
players and keeping those not<br />
involved in the ABs, NZ XV<br />
and U20s in meaningful rugby<br />
before the next Super season,<br />
while also creating much needed<br />
income?<br />
With any change there will<br />
be issues, like where does the<br />
Ranfurly Shield fit in. Does<br />
it become an FA Cup style<br />
competition? Is a new format<br />
going to be manageable? Where<br />
does the women’s professional<br />
game sit? <strong>The</strong>re are more<br />
questions than answers and<br />
many things that need to be<br />
solved, but change needs to<br />
happen and staying with the<br />
status quo is not the answer.<br />

A win to savour in a season of struggles<br />
SOLID: Crusaders lock and Lincoln High School product<br />
Antonio Shalfoon put in a big performance in Saturday<br />
night’s victory over the Blues.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
THE CRUSADERS have<br />
stumbled and bumbled through<br />
the season. With one highlight<br />
being the win over the Chiefs<br />
in round six and a low light in<br />
round 9 being well beaten by the<br />
Force.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can now add another<br />
highlight to a struggling season<br />
with the win over the Blues.<br />
Both sides had motivation for<br />
the game – the Blues cement<br />
themselves at the top, and the<br />
Crusaders need to get themselves<br />
away from the bottom.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders showed real<br />
grit with a plan to take it to the<br />
Blues at scrum time and in the<br />
tight with the backs starting to<br />
show some real direction in an<br />
up tempo game plan.<br />
What a great story seeing Antonio<br />
Shalfoon previously from<br />
Lincoln High School. A few<br />
weeks ago his game time was<br />
running out for Springston in<br />
the combined country competition.<br />
He played well and showed<br />
the need for a big tight head lock<br />
in that Crusaders pack.<br />
Does Saturday night’s win<br />
smooth over the lumps of the<br />
season? Definitely not and a<br />
robust review will be needed<br />
from their training (why do<br />
they have so many non-contact<br />
soft tissue injuries?) to the make<br />
up of the coaching group and<br />
management.<br />
But let’s enjoy the moment<br />
and that can be sorted later on.<br />
Rob Penney may have woken up<br />
on Sunday with a headache, but<br />
hopefully because he has had a<br />
couple of celebratory beers and<br />
not over the issues of the past<br />
week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders still require a<br />
lot of results to fall their way to<br />
make the eight so they will need<br />
to fight like they are the third<br />
monkey on the ramp to Noah’s<br />
Ark, and brother it’s starting to<br />
rain.
UNDEFEATED boxers Jaeger<br />

ONGOING roadworks are<br />
continuing to put pressure on<br />
Richmond businesses, with one<br />
long<br />
-running store deciding it is<br />
time to leave.<br />
After more than 20 years of<br />
supplying fresh produce to the<br />
eastern suburbs on Stanmore<br />
Rd, <strong>The</strong> Green Grocer closed<br />
it doors for the final time on<br />
Friday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council began a fu l<br />
reconstruction of North Avon<br />
Rd in January which has since<br />
left businesses struggling to<br />
bring customers into their stores.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Green Grocer owner<br />
Dianne Pratt said she didn’t<br />
want to go, but because of the<br />
roadworks the business has<br />
suffered a “huge decline.”<br />
“We are around 50 per cent<br />
down each week and we can’t<br />
sustain it. It is below break even<br />
for us,” she said.<br />

HOPE IS fading for people who<br />
catch the bus between New<br />
Brighton and Burwood Hospital.<br />
Environment Canterbury has<br />
prepared an “alternative option”<br />
in its draft Long Term Plan after<br />
public opposed its original plan<br />
to axe six of its lowest performing<br />
bus routes.<br />
But a new route combining the<br />
135 Burwood Hospital and 150<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palms bus routes is planned<br />
to terminate at Taiora: QE II Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre.<br />
It means the 135 Burwood Hospital<br />
route wi l no longer travel<br />
into New Brighton.<br />
Currently the bus service runs<br />
from Prestons Rd through to Burwood<br />
Hospital and along Beach<br />
Rd to Marine Parade.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposed change has been<br />
met with opposition. New Brighton<br />
resident Hilary Wilson said<br />
the planned route change would<br />
be “terrible” as she always found<br />
the bus convenient, particularly<br />
when she had a knee replacement<br />
at Burwood Hospital.<br />

LINDA CHEN has a new<br />
outlook on life after giving birth<br />
to her first child, Sebastian.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
member and her husband Robin<br />
welcomed the baby boy on April<br />
10 in what she described a<br />
“precious experience.”<br />
“Having a child has<br />
not only been a precious<br />
experience for me, as<br />
a woman, but it has<br />
also changed the<br />
way I see the world.<br />
I now see the world<br />
as a mother – the<br />
agendas and issues<br />
in our ward have<br />
become a lot more<br />
personal now.”<br />
Sebastian is also<br />
the first grandchild<br />
of both sides of the<br />
family, “so he is<br />
getting a lot of love<br />
and attention,” said<br />
Mrs Chen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple first<br />
met while at primary school at<br />
the former Kendal School in<br />
Harewood.<br />
“We are rea ly happy that we<br />
have ended up settling back at<br />
Harewood and that we wi l be<br />
raising Sebastian here. Both<br />
Robin and I have fond memories<br />
growing up in this area,” she said.<br />
Mrs Chen is the second<br />
community board member to<br />
welcome a child this term, with<br />
Jamie Gough’s wife, Jasmine,<br />
giving birth to their first child in<br />
September. •Turn to page 4<br />

Papanui Ward city counci lor<br />
Mike Davidson urged people to<br />
submit on the plan, saying the<br />
routes were an “essential social<br />
service.”<br />
He said while the new option<br />
is “rea ly good news” for residents<br />
in his ward, “other areas<br />

ST ANNE’S Catholic School<br />
produced an unconventional<br />
cross-country event, using<br />
an obstacle course which<br />
involved ducking, diving and<br />
getting muddy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Grit Cha lenge was<br />
the idea of a parent who<br />
works for a scaffolding<br />
company and involved a<br />
technical run including two<br />
crossings, jumping a fence,<br />
tunnels, poles, large barrels<br />
and several mud-based<br />
obstacles.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pupils climbed up a<br />
four-level scaffolding feature<br />
and jumped off into matting.<br />
Principal Da las Wichman<br />
said the cha lenge was pu together<br />
to promote the school’s<br />
attitude of grit.<br />
“To persist when things get<br />
difficult and give things a go<br />
which we know is a big determiner<br />
of success in life.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> event was amazing<br />
and brings so many<br />
families rather than the<br />
traditional ‘running around<br />
the park’-style cross-country<br />
which we know is dead<br />
boring.”<br />
He said the pupils loved the<br />
course.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y loved getting rea ly<br />
high on the scaffolding obstacle<br />
and dropping off onto our<br />
high jump mat.”<br />

PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused a<br />
rethink over plans to cut bus routes<br />
around the city.<br />
But the 535 Eastgate to Lyttelton<br />
and Rapaki sti l remains on the<br />
chopping block.<br />
Environment Canterbury staff<br />
prepared an “alternative option” to<br />
the proposal in its draft Long Term<br />
Plan that would axe the six lowest<br />
performing bus routes fo lowing<br />
“overwhelming” public opposition,<br />
a spokeswoman said.<br />
Those routes included the 535<br />
and the 145 Westmorland to<br />
Eastgate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> solution is a modification<br />
of the six routes proposed to be<br />
disestablished – with frequency<br />
changes, the combining of two<br />
routes, extension and re-routing of<br />
others.<br />
But as part of the proposal,<br />
there would not be a service<br />
trave ling down Linwood Ave,<br />
through Ferrymead and Mt<br />
Pleasant.<br />

LINDA CHEN has a new<br />
outlook on life after giving birth<br />
to her first child, Sebastian.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
member and her husband Robin<br />
welcomed the baby boy on April<br />
10 in what she described a<br />
“precious experience.”<br />
“Having a child has not<br />
only been a precious<br />
experience for me,<br />
as a woman, but it<br />
has also changed the<br />
way I see the world.<br />
I now see the world<br />
as a mother – the<br />
agendas and issues<br />
in our ward have<br />
become a lot more<br />
personal now.”<br />
Sebastian is also<br />
the first grandchild<br />
of both sides of the<br />
family, “so he is<br />
getting a lot of love<br />
and attention,” said<br />
Mrs Chen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple first<br />
met while at primary school at<br />
the former Kendal School in<br />
Harewood.<br />
“We are rea ly happy that we<br />
have ended up settling back at<br />
Harewood and that we wi l be<br />
raising Sebastian here. Both<br />
Robin and I have fond memories<br />
growing up in this area,” she said.<br />
Mrs Chen is the second<br />
community board member to<br />
welcome a child this term, with<br />
Jamie Gough’s wife, Jasmine,<br />
giving birth to their first child in<br />
September. •Turn to page 5<br />

YALDHURST residents<br />
wi l this week lodge an appeal<br />
and prepare for a costly court<br />
battle to cha lenge a decision to<br />
a low quarry expansion in the<br />
area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision made by city<br />
council and Environment<br />
Canterbury appointed hearings<br />
panel a lowed quarrying<br />
company Road Metals to<br />
increase their Yaldhurst<br />
operations to 100m from<br />
houses.<br />
To lodge the appeal, the<br />
residents formed a new<br />
group named the Yaldhurst<br />
Environment Group – Hau Ora<br />
Inc.<br />
Chairwoman Soraya Nicholas<br />
said the appeal would cos the<br />
group $100,000 and it received<br />
support from various members<br />
of the community.<br />
“We’re probably looking<br />
at mandatory mediation<br />
happening in September and<br />
potentia ly the Environment<br />
Court appeal case wi l be very<br />
late this year or early next year,”<br />
Ms Nicholas said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> group does not wan to<br />

COCKLE NUMBERS in the<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary are in<br />
serious decline.<br />
A six-month study shows the<br />
population has fallen dramatically<br />
since a 2012 survey, from<br />
around 400 per sq m to between<br />
50 and 80 per sq m in some<br />
areas.<br />
Biological sciences student<br />
Stephanie Hampson has been researching<br />
the extent and impact<br />
of harvesting on the health and<br />
sustainability of estuary shellfish<br />
beds – an important feeding<br />
grounds for birds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results suggest the current<br />
limit of 150 cockles per person<br />
per day is too high and needs to<br />
be reduced or even a ban put in<br />
place, Ms Hampson said.<br />
Auckland’s limit is 50 per person<br />
per day, which she believes<br />
would be more appropriate if<br />
harvesting is to continue.<br />

her life to public service.”<br />
Ms Wilson was the sister of<br />

DISTRICT council-owned<br />
houses in Darfield have had<br />
to be decontaminated from<br />
methampetamine before they can<br />
be sold.<br />
<strong>The</strong> three dwe lings are part of a<br />
portfolio of houses and a section in<br />
Ritso S the council is dispersing.<br />
It has cost just over $40,000 to<br />
decontaminate the properties.<br />
Insurance has met about $<strong>30</strong>,000<br />
of the bi l, the district council the<br />
rest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> houses are on the market<br />
for between $<strong>30</strong>0,000 to $355,000.<br />
Former mayor Bi l Woods says<br />
he is concerned that money from<br />
the sales wi l not go back into<br />
Malvern community.<br />
In the early 2000s Mr Woods<br />
and late district counci lor Paul<br />
Stewart was involved in putting a<br />
case forward that if the properties<br />
were sold the money had to go<br />
back into the community.<br />
“In fairness, the money gained<br />
from the sale of these properties<br />
must be returned to the area from<br />
where it was co lected,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council’s property<br />
and commercial manager Douglas<br />
Marsha l said yesterday the<br />
sale proceeds wi l be credited to<br />

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

Friday.<br />

Rd in January which has since<br />
left businesses struggling to<br />
bring customers into their stores.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Green Grocer owner<br />
Dianne Pratt said she didn’t<br />
wan to go, but because of the<br />
roadworks the business has<br />
suffered a “huge decline.”<br />
“We are around 50 per cent<br />
down each week and we can’t<br />
sustain it. It is below break even<br />

HOPE IS fading for people who<br />

Environment Canterbury has<br />
prepared an “alternative option”<br />
in its draft Long Term Plan after<br />
public opposed its original plan<br />

But a new route combining the<br />
135 Burwood Hospital and 150<br />
<strong>The</strong> Palms bus routes is planned<br />
to terminate at Taiora: QE II Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre.<br />
It means the 135 Burwood Hospital<br />
route wi l no longer travel<br />
into New Brighton.<br />
Currently the bus service runs<br />
from Prestons Rd through to Burwood<br />
Hospital and along Beach<br />
Rd to Marine Parade.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposed change has been<br />
met with opposition. New Brighton<br />
resident Hilary Wilson said<br />
the planned route change would<br />
be “terrible” as she always found<br />
the bus convenient, particularly<br />
when she had a knee replacement<br />
at Burwood Hospital.<br />

“OVERWHELMING”<br />
opposition has caused<br />
Environment Canterbury to<br />
re-think its proposed cuts to bus<br />
routes in the city.<br />
ECan staff prepared an “alternative<br />
option” to the proposal<br />
in its draft Long Term Plan,<br />
that would axe the six lowest<br />
performing bus routes, affecting<br />
110,000 passenger trips.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new proposal wi l save<br />
the 107 Styx Mi l to Northlands<br />
while the 108 Casebrook to<br />
Northlands will be absorbed<br />
into an extended version of the<br />
28 Papanui to Lyttelton service.<br />
Papanui Ward city counci lor<br />
Mike Davidson urged people to<br />
submit on the plan, saying the<br />
routes were an “essential social<br />
service.”<br />
He said while the new option<br />
is “rea ly good news” for residents<br />
in his ward, “other areas<br />
haven’t been as fortunate, which<br />
is a shame.”<br />

ST ANNE’S Catholic School<br />
produced an unconventional<br />
cross-country event, using<br />
an obstacle course which<br />
involved ducking, diving and<br />
getting muddy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Grit Cha lenge was<br />
the idea of a parent who<br />
works for a scaffolding<br />
company and involved a<br />
technical run including two<br />
crossings, jumping a fence,<br />
tunnels, poles, large barrels<br />
and several mud-based<br />
obstacles.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pupils climbed up a<br />
four-level scaffolding feature<br />
and jumped off into matting.<br />
Principal Dallas Wichman<br />
said the challenge was pu together<br />
to promote the school’s<br />
attitude of grit.<br />
“To persist when things get<br />
difficult and give things a go<br />
which we know is a big determiner<br />
of success in life.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> event was amazing<br />
and brings so many<br />
families rather than the<br />
traditional ‘running around<br />
the park’-style cross-country<br />
which we know is dead<br />
boring.”<br />
He said the pupils loved the<br />
course.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y loved getting rea ly<br />
high on the scaffolding obstacle<br />
and dropping off onto our<br />
high jump mat.”<br />

PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused a<br />
rethink over plans to cut bus routes<br />
around the city.<br />
Bu the 535 Eastgate to Lyttelton<br />
and Rapaki sti l remains on the<br />
chopping block.<br />
Environment Canterbury staff<br />
prepared an “alternative option” to<br />
the proposal in its draft Long Term<br />
Plan that would axe the six lowest<br />
performing bus routes fo lowing<br />
“overwhelming” public opposition,<br />
a spokeswoman said.<br />
Those routes included the 535<br />
and the 145 Westmorland to<br />
Eastgate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> solution is a modification<br />
of the six routes proposed to be<br />
disestablished – with frequency<br />
changes, the combining of two<br />
routes, extension and re-routing of<br />
others.<br />
But as part of the proposal,<br />
there would not be a service<br />
trave ling down Linwood Ave,<br />
through Ferrymead and Mt<br />
Pleasant.<br />

LINDA CHEN has a new<br />
outlook on life after giving birth<br />
to her first child, Sebastian.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
member and her husband Robin<br />
welcomed the baby boy on April<br />
10 in what she described a<br />
“precious experience.”<br />
“Having a child has not<br />
only been a precious<br />
experience for me,<br />
as a woman, but it<br />
has also changed the<br />
way I see the world.<br />
I now see the world<br />
as a mother – the<br />
agendas and issues<br />
in our ward have<br />
become a lot more<br />
personal now.”<br />
Sebastian is also<br />
the first grandchild<br />
of both sides of the<br />
family, “so he is<br />
getting a lot of love<br />
and attention,” said<br />
Mrs Chen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple first<br />
met while at primary school at<br />
the former Kendal School in<br />
Harewood.<br />
“We are rea ly happy that we<br />
have ended up settling back at<br />
Harewood and that we wi l be<br />
raising Sebastian here. Both<br />
Robin and I have fond memories<br />
growing up in this area,” she said.<br />
Mrs Chen is the second<br />
community board member to<br />
welcome a child this term, with<br />
Jamie Gough’s wife, Jasmine,<br />
giving birth to their first child in<br />
September. •Turn to page 5<br />

YALDHURST residents<br />
wi l this week lodge an appeal<br />
and prepare for a costly court<br />
battle to cha lenge a decision to<br />
a low quarry expansion in the<br />
area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision made by city<br />
council and Environment<br />
Canterbury appointed hearings<br />
panel allowed quarrying<br />
company Road Metals to<br />
increase their Yaldhurst<br />
operations to 100m from<br />
houses.<br />
To lodge the appeal, the<br />
residents formed a new<br />
group named the Yaldhurst<br />
Environment Group – Hau Ora<br />
Inc.<br />
Chairwoman Soraya Nicholas<br />
said the appeal would cos the<br />
group $100,000 and it received<br />
support from various members<br />
of the community.<br />
“We’re probably looking<br />
at mandatory mediation<br />
happening in September and<br />
potentia ly the Environment<br />
Court appeal case wi l be very<br />
late this year or early next year,”<br />
Ms Nicholas said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> group does not wan to<br />
ban quarrying in the area.<br />

COCKLE NUMBERS in the<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary are in<br />
serious decline.<br />
A six-month study shows the<br />
population has fallen dramatically<br />
since a 2012 survey, from<br />
around 400 per sq m to between<br />
50 and 80 per sq m in some<br />
areas.<br />
Biological sciences student<br />
Stephanie Hampson has been researching<br />
the extent and impact<br />
of harvesting on the health and<br />
sustainability of estuary shellfish<br />
beds – an important feeding<br />
grounds for birds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results suggest the current<br />
limit of 150 cockles per person<br />
per day is too high and needs to<br />
be reduced or even a ban put in<br />
place, Ms Hampson said.<br />
Auckland’s limit is 50 per person<br />
per day, which she believes<br />
would be more appropriate if<br />
harvesting is to continue.<br />

Community Board chairwoman<br />
Christine Wilson has died after a<br />

DISTRICT council-owned<br />
houses in Darfield have had<br />
to be decontaminated from<br />
methampetamine before they can<br />
be sold.<br />
<strong>The</strong> three dwe lings are part of a<br />
portfolio of houses and a section in<br />
Ritso S the council is dispersing.<br />
It has cost just over $40,000 to<br />
decontaminate the properties.<br />
Insurance has met about $<strong>30</strong>,000<br />
of the bi l, the district council the<br />
rest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> houses are on the market<br />
for between $<strong>30</strong>0,000 to $355,000.<br />
Former mayor Bill Woods says<br />
he is concerned that money from<br />
the sales will not go back into<br />
Malvern community.<br />
In the early 2000s Mr Woods<br />
and late district counci lor Paul<br />
Stewart was involved in putting a<br />
case forward that if the properties<br />
were sold the money had to go<br />
back into the community.<br />
“In fairness, the money gained<br />
from the sale of these properties<br />
must be returned to the area from<br />
where it was co lected,” he said.<br />

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

Christchurch - it's your turn<br />
to sing your heart out!<br />
Up and coming local<br />
artists on display<br />
IT started two years ago as a thought...<br />
could Ferrymead Rotary run an art show<br />
to highlight the work of local artists? A<br />
show to bring value to the community, and<br />
possibly pay for itself as well? Absolutely!<br />
e 2022 Ferrymead Rotary Art Show<br />
featuring award winning painter Colin<br />
Maclaren was a tremendous success, so<br />
successful Rotary is about to do it all again.<br />
"With New World on board as the<br />
naming rights sponsor, our Club is pleased<br />
to conrm we are holding our <strong>2024</strong> Art<br />
Show this weekend, Friday 7th and<br />
Saturday 8th June in conjunction with the<br />
Ilam School of ne Arts," said Bob ayer,<br />
Art Show committee. "We're keen on<br />
supporting youth in the community as up<br />
and coming artists and it gives the public<br />
an opportunity to buy works at a<br />
reasonable price."<br />
e Ilam School of Fine Arts at the<br />
University of Canterbury was founded in<br />
1882 as the Canterbury College School of<br />
Art. e Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in<br />
visual arts and design subjects was<br />
introduced in 1982. e ability to specialise<br />
in one of the ve disciplines - design, lm,<br />
painting, photography and sculpture - is<br />
unique within New Zealand.<br />
Taking place across two days at the Mt<br />
Pleasant Community Centre, the Show<br />
launches on Friday 7th June with an<br />
Auction of donated art works and items<br />
donated by local businesses including a late<br />
entry by Colin Maclaren. e exhibition of<br />
works are also available for purchase. e<br />
exhibition continues on Saturday from<br />
9am to 4pm. Payment for works can be<br />
made by cash or card. Credit card incurs a<br />
2% surcharge.<br />
"e opening night auction will feature<br />
works donated by feature artists Kathrine<br />
Mateer, Rae Manson, Linda Burns, Jackie<br />
Hancock, Tricia Hewlett, Jane Downes,<br />
Lynette Colton and Emily Quane," said<br />
Bob. "Our featured artists are nal year<br />
students from the Ilam School of Fine<br />
Arts, completing their degrees. is is a<br />
great association for our Club given our<br />
strong focus and support of youth and we<br />
are excited to have them on board. Local<br />
businesses have also generously donated<br />
auction lots. e latest being a chainsaw by<br />
the Ferrymead STIHL Shop".<br />
Entrance for the Friday night session is<br />
$20 which includes drinks and nibbles<br />
with the auction at 7pm.<br />
e Rotary club of Ferrymead has been<br />
assisting the local community since 1993,<br />
by raising funds from various sources and<br />
channelling the proceeds back into the<br />
community.<br />
Funds raised from the <strong>2024</strong> Art Show<br />
will assist in allowing Ferrymead Rotary<br />
Club to undertake various projects for the<br />
good of the local community. Recent such<br />
works have included providing nancial<br />
assistance to Te Aratai for their “Positive<br />
Hauora and Resilience Programme”,<br />
supporting young adults to attend Rotary<br />
Young Leader Awards, supporting high<br />
school students to attend the National<br />
Science and Technology Forum, providing<br />
teaching materials for the House of Science<br />
educational programme, providing meals<br />
for families at Ronald McDonald House,<br />
and providing funds to assist the Estuary<br />
Fest.<br />
To be able to undertake these and other<br />
projects, the Rotary Club sources funds<br />
from the community and benefactors<br />
(such as the Art Show sponsors), with all<br />
funds channelled back into the community.<br />
e Club looks forward to being able to<br />
continue undertaking this work now and<br />
into the future.<br />

A REST home has created a<br />
special fruitcake to celebrate the<br />
royal birthday on Monday.<br />
For King Charles III’s birthday,<br />
Arvida Rhodes on Cashmere’s<br />
cook Margaret Hogan enlisted<br />
resident <strong>The</strong>a Artz to help create<br />
a fruitcake fit for a king – and all<br />
for a very good cause.<br />
<strong>The</strong> king is a well-known fan<br />
o fruitcake – he chose one for<br />
his 1981 wedding to the late<br />
Princess Diana, and then again<br />
when he married Queen Camilla<br />
in 2005, as well as at his coronation<br />
celebration last year – and<br />
She used a recipe belonging to<br />
a residen that had been passed<br />
down for generations and had<br />
kitchen by keen royalist <strong>The</strong>a,<br />
who has a passion for baking and<br />
keeps up-to-date with royal news<br />
– something she’s done for years.<br />
Charles is a well-known<br />
fruitcake fan – it was served<br />
at both his weddings and at<br />
been a brave man, going out and<br />
working after his recent cancer<br />
diagnosis.<br />
“I wish (him) the happiest of<br />
birthdays and very good health<br />
for the year ahead.”<br />
In a sweet move, the kindhearted<br />
staff and residents a the<br />
rest home resisted the urge to<br />
tuck into the cake and have instead<br />
decided to deliver i to the<br />
local Cancer Society office for<br />
the hard-working team to enjoy.<br />
“It’s a cause that’s close to<br />
