Brownlee goes silent on anchor projects

EXCITEMENT: Penrith Panther James Segeyaro meets CashiousMax McGregor, 8, yesterday.

Panthers purr for supporters CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High School is often referred to as a rugby union factory, but it turned into a training ground for a different code yesterday.

Sydney’s Penrith Panthers NRL rugby league team had their first training session at the school yesterday morning, ahead of their match against the Vodafone Warriors at AMI Stadium on Saturday.

The Panthers have moved their home games against the Warriors to Christchurch for the next four years in partnership with the city council to create a long-term

relationship with the city.

Both the Panthers and Warriors are visiting schools during the lead-up to the clash, and tomorrow the Warriors will visit children at Ronald McDonald House.

The match is expected to be a sellout.

Among those who made it to CBHS to watch training was eight-year-old Cashious-Max McGregor from Bromley School, who got the chance to meet Panthers hooker James Segeyaro.

CBHS year 13’s Tia Hunt, a former leaguie now playing union got a chance to meet midfielder

Dallin Watene-Zelezniak. “He seemed really down to earth, he asked me a bit about my footy. He just said stick at it and keep going. “I think all 1300 students came out to watch and got a couple of photos. It was really good to have them here on our new grounds,â€? he said. • The Panthers’ visit has also caught the attention of Australia’s The Footy Show, with presenter Beau Ryan filming Beau Knows Christchurch tomorrow to feature on the show.

„„ By Gabrielle Stuart COMPLETION dates for the city’s major anchor projects became even more unclear yesterday when Gerry Brownlee declared he would not reveal timelines.

The Greater Christchurch Regeneration minister said revealing when projects like the convention centre and Metro Sports Facility would be completed would compromise commercial negotiations.

Labour’s Canterbury spokeswoman Megan Woods said Mr Brownlee’s comments were “an increasingly thin excuse� for a lack of progress in the city. “Telling the people of Christchurch when they can expect something to be built in their central city shouldn’t be a closely guarded secret. Sure the details of the money should, it’s in none of our interests that the Government compromise getting the best deal that it can get, but it’s just nonsense to say that the timelines around it are compromising,� she said.

Mr Brownlee has been under fire for the delay after a Treasury report said the Government had spent $154 million less than promised in Christchurch in the past year.

That was put down to delays to anchor projects.

starnews.co.nz

Mr Brownlee told Radio New Zealand yesterday that he would not give a public deadline for the projects. “Time frames have dogged us all the way through the effort to initially recover and now regenerate Christchurch, because as soon as you have a timeline on something and a finite date for something you give away a degree of advantage in any negotiation situation.�

A spokeswoman for Mr Brownlee told The Star yesterday the minister stood by his comments.

But he refused to say if there were current specific deadlines for anchor projects which were being kept secret.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said she was not surprised by Mr Brownlee’s comments. She believed the time frames should be public.

In January last year, the convention centre construction scheduled to start within a few months and be complete by the end of 2017, with the Metro Sports Facility by the end of 2018.

But in May the convention centre was delayed until late 2018, and the Metro Sports Facility, 2020.

By the end of the year the Government was refusing to say when the convention centre might be built. • Brownlee, Woods’ columns, pages 14-15

IF YOU’RE a high school kid with lots of sporting talent the world could well be your oyster.

On pages 4 and 5 reporter Gabrielle Stuart examines the numbers of very talented young people who are heading to universities in the United States.

St Margaret’s rower Caroline Pearson has secured a scholarship worth more than $500,000.

Almost twice as many cyclists in Christchurch are being injured in crashes than those elsewhere in the country, new figures show.

Our article on page 7 shows cyclists made up 13 per cent of people injured in crashes on Christchurch roads between 2010 and 2014, compared with seven per cent nationally.

And staying with figures and statistics, have a look over pages 8 and 9. We have a comprehensive look at the real estate market and it is investors and first home buyers who are pushing up the prices in certain suburbs.

On the rebuild front, Tom Doudney profiles one of the key new players in the city (pages 20-21).

Looks like he’s a roll-yoursleeves up sort of bloke. Just what the city needs, I suspect.

At a Glance MILESTONE FOR BUCK Forty-one years ago on Tuesday, now deputy mayor Vicki Buck was voted in as the country’s youngest ever city councillor at the age of 19. She later went on to become mayor of Christchurch in 1989, and served in the role for nine years.

After taking a break from the council, she stood in the 2013 local elections in the RiccartonWigram ward and returned with the highest number of votes. As a result, Ms Buck accepted the role of deputy mayor.

PUNTER $450,000 RICHER A lucky punter walked away from Christchurch Casino with $450,000 last week as part of the Wednesday Jackpotting Cash Draws promotion. The winning Players Club member was ecstatic to hear their number called, and turned up to the Players Club desk within the allocated 3min time-frame to collect their winnings. The promotion has been running since last year, and is open to all Players Club members automatically entered into each week’s draws.

JUG NOT WHAT IT SEEMS An Oregon man presented a clay jug he had bought at an estate sale to Antiques Roadshow earlier this year.

Expert appraisers valued it at US$50,000 ($74,000). They dated it to the late 19th-century and said it came from the “Middle Atlantic states headed southward”. Imagine the man’s disappointment when the jug turned out to be the creation of Betsy Soule, OF Oregon, who sculpted it in her high school ceramics class in the 1970s.

PM KICKED OUT OF HOUSE Prime Minister John Key was kicked out of the House of the Speaker for the first time ever this week. Key was ordered to leave the chamber after he continued to talk over the top of Speaker David Carter, after he rose to his feet during a row over the Panama Papers. Speaker Carter was seen repeatedly calling for order prior to saying: “The prime minister will leave the chamber. . . he is to be treated no differently to any other member in this house.”

SALUTE NOT APPRECIATED A Scottish man has been arrested for teaching his girlfriend’s pug dog to do a Nazi salute. Markus Meechan was arrested last month by Lanarkshire police for posting a YouTube video of Buddha the pug, lifting its paw on command to do the salute. Meechan said his girlfriend went on about how cute Buddha was, so he taught the dog the “least cute thing” he could think of. He has since apologised for his actions, and police are investigating.

“The latest GFK survey of commercial Christchurch radio stations compares Tahu FM, an iwi radio station, with commercial stations – which it is not.”

He would not say whether Ngai Tahu put further funding into the radio station.

Ara New Zealand Broadcasting School head Tony Simons said commercial radio stations “live and die” by their ratings, but the situation for Tahu FM was slightly different.

“Stations like Tahu have a much broader brief, so if Tahu tried to be a mass appeal station it would not be fulfilling it’s brief. And if funding was not available for these minority stations they would not exist.”

He said funders would take a station’s audience into account, but it was also important that they support minority media.

Minister of Broadcasting and Selwyn MP Amy Adams said the goal of taxpayer broadcast funding was to encourage a “range of broadcasts that reflects the diverse religious and ethical beliefs of New Zealanders”.

“Small, local, communityfocused broadcasters cater for specific community needs that are unlikely to be met by com-

$500k funding defended

By Gabrielle Stuart THE MAORI Broadcast Funding Agency is defending putting $500,000 into Tahu FM radio station a year, in spite of the station’s poor rating in the latest Christchurch listenership figures.

Tahu FM is one of 21 Maori language stations which has operational costs publicly funded

by Te Māngai Pāho, the Maori Broadcast Funding Agency.

They are all given $500,000.

The Ngāi Tahu station reached an average of 3600 listeners in Christchurch each week, according to the Commercial Radio Audience Measurement Survey.

This is a 0.3 per cent share of all commercial radio listening in the city.

But Te Māngai Pāho chief executive John Bishara said the station did not only reach Christchurch listeners, but served the whole South Island and reached listeners nationally through its Sky Channel and online streaming.

Research done last year found the iwi radio network reached a third of the Maori audience, he said.

He said Tahu FM and the wider iwi radio network played an important part in maintaining and revitalising the Maori language.

“Previous research commissioned by Te Puni Kōkiri has also shown that iwi radio helps fluent Māori speakers and second language learners maintain their Māori language ability.”

He said the reach of a station or the size of the organisation behind it was not considered when deciding which stations to fund.

A Ngāi Tahu spokesman said Tahu FM’s main purpose was to enable the revitalisation and use of te reo Māori, and the enhancement of Māori culture and identity.

mercial radio stations.”

Tahu FM is one of many around the country which receive taxpayer funding.

New Zealand On Air also funds radio stations, giving from $135,000 to $250,000 per year to community or niche stations like Plains FM. Radio New Zealand is given $31.8m each year to cover the costs of both its National and Concert stations.

Radio New Zealand’s listener numbers were not included in the survey, as it is publicly funded.

More FM took the top spot in the survey both in terms of individual listeners and the weekly listening time.

Flava was ranked lowest in terms of individual listeners, while Mix ranked lowest in terms of listening time, taking a 0.2 per cent share.

The Edge took second place from The Breeze in the listener numbers, although there were just a few thousand listeners between them, while ZM rose from seventh last year to fourth this year.

Newstalk ZB dropped from fifth ranking last year to seventh this year.

RATINGS: Te Māngai Pāho chief executive John Bishara said Tahu FM did not only reach Christchurch listeners, but served the whole South Island.

BY THE NUMBERS The approximate number of individual Christchurch residents reached each week by commercial radio stations in Christchurch, according to the Commercial Radio Audience Measurement Survey: More FM – 100,500 Edge – 74,100 Breeze – 72,200 ZM – 53,200 Rock – 53,100 The Sound – 53,000 Newstalk ZB – 44,000 Radio Live – 30,500 Mai FM – 29,600 Hits – 26,100 Radio Sport – 22,200 Radio Hauraki – 19,600 Coast –19,300 Magic – 12,200 Rhema – 7300 Star – 4100 George FM – 3900 Mix – 3900 Tahu FM – 3600 Flava – 1900

In Brief VICTORIA ST PLAN Part of Victoria St would be restricted to only pedestrians and cyclists if a new city council plan is approved. Under the transport section of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, the city council plans to close Victoria St to vehicles from Christchurch Casino to Victoria Clock Tower.

But some business owners are not happy with the plan, saying it could kill business. Fifty parking spaces would be removed as part of the plan to make way for wider footpaths and cycleways.

FIREARM STOLEN A firearm was taken from a Somerfield address during a spate of eight daytime burglaries on Sunday and Monday. The burglaries spanned an area from Somerfield to Opawa, with the offenders breaking windows and jemmying doors open to enter.

No one was home at any of the properties. Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Anderson said the offenders had gone to considerable effort in breaking into a safe to take the firearm. He asked for anyone who had seen anything suspicious to phone police and, if possible, to record number plates of any vehicles driven by people behaving suspiciously.

BINS TO BE TAGGED The city council will begin tagging all wheelie bins with radio frequency identification chips in July, to try and stop them from going missing or being stolen. The tagging will take about two and a half years to roll out across the city. Residents will be told when their bins will be tagged.

WATER LEVELS LOW Water levels are at record lows across Canterbury, with the Selwyn River at Coes Ford at the lowest ever recorded for April.

Ten per cent of wells Environment Canterbury monitors are at the lowest levels on record, and the Waiau, Hurunui, Waimakariri and Ahuriri rivers had an April mean flow less than 60 per cent of the average.

What foreign scholarships About half came back to her and set up Skype interviews.

But the time she accepted the offer at Oregon State, she had exchanged about 30 emails with the coach, had about 10 Skype sessions and made a trip to the US with her father to visit the campus.

That was all done around study and exams while she was still at school.

AFS is one agency which helps connect students with overseas opportunities, mostly for exchanges but also for things like volunteer work or university internships.

AFS communication and marketing manager Susan Fogarty said the experience was great for very driven students, but was also very good for those who were still unsure.

“People finish high school and think gosh, I don’t know what I want to do, so they go out and do this.”

The fact universities were more open to cross-crediting had driven a lot more students to do it, she said.

Miss Pearson said she was open to all possibilities once she graduated, she did want to return home after her scholarship.

Hundreds of young people head overseas each year to take up foreign scholarships, and it has developed into a multi-million dollar industry. Gabrielle Stuart looked into why our students are wanted, and where the scholarships lead

LOOKING AHEAD: Caroline Pearson, 18, is off to Oregon State University, where she has been given a PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN four-year rowing scholarship.

AT 18, Caroline Pearson has been valued at more than $500,000.

That is what the four year rowing scholarship she has accepted to Oregon State university this year is worth.

She started rowing at 14 as a student at St Margaret’s College, mostly because at 1.55m she was tall for a girl and told she had the build for it.

But she had developed a passion for it, and her sights are now set on rowing in one of the top boats in the United States.

She helped her St Margaret’s school rowing team take home gold at both the South Island Secondary Schools Championships and the national Maadi Cup regatta.

And it wasn’t only in rowing she excelled: Working hard in academics with the goal of studying law, and playing viola in the NZ Secondary Schools Symphony Orchestra.

The scholarship was a way she

could do it all, she said.

“The real drawcard is that their college sporting system is almost professional, so you can go over there and have a near professional experience doing the sport you love, and get a university degree as well. I didn’t want to just row, I always wanted to go to uni. Especially with a sport it’s got a time limit on it, so there’s always going to be a time when you can’t do the sport anymore. This means you get the overseas experience with no debt, even after training full time and studying.”

But getting there wasn’t easy.

While most people she knew used agencies to navigate the complicated process of applying to American universities, she did it all herself.

She researched the programmes offered at different universities, and emailed the coaches of about 20 different universities she thought could work.

mean for young Kiwis “If a chance came up and it fit with what I wanted to do I wouldn’t say no to it, but New Zealand is a pretty cool place.

I think I would always want to come back to it.”

She is now working two jobs while she prepares to head to the school in August.

For 19-year-old Bella Forbes, a scholarship did not work out so well.

She was accepted into Berkeley University of California, which is fourth ranked in the world, on a four year hockey scholarship worth more than $250,000.

But after six months there, she gave it up to return to New Zealand.

The level of competition there was something she had not been prepared for, she said.

“To get into Berkeley is so strenuous, people have been studying since they were eight-years-old to get in. So it’s really competitive in an academic sense, which meant people wouldn’t share notes and petty things like that.”

That carried through to the hockey field, where she said the coach was there to win and worked the girls incredibly hard.

“Towards the end I remember

IN ACTION: Bella Forbes playing for the Berkeley university hockey team in California.

ringing my mum saying I don’t want to play hockey at all anymore, it was that bad. I was used to having supportive coaches, but she treated it like it was a job and we were her employees.”

But in spite of her own decision to leave, she would still recommend that others take a scholarship.

“I think people have to take a shot. You’ll regret it if you don’t.”

She said it had taught her a

huge amount about the world, and about herself.

“It was good to get out of my comfort zone, because I’m a real home bod. The people were really nice. And it was huge, people who haven’t gone there can’t comprehend how massive the place is.”

She had wanted to study in the US for years, partly inspired by her father who had to turn down a scholarship there.

“My dad is a Commonwealth swimmer, so when he was my age he was offered a scholarship. But back then they weren’t full scholarships so he was going to have to pay crazy amounts of money to go, which he didn’t have.”

She said her goal was to study commerce, and her skill at hockey was her way in.

She used an agent to apply for universities and get in touch with coaches there, but said it was still about a six-month process dealing with the 16 schools which approached her.

She is now settled back in Christchurch, studying commerce at Canterbury University and playing club hockey.

But she said she had made lifelong friends while she was there, and wouldn’t rule out going back to the US for postgraduate study.

Heavy metals flow through to Avon River

By Tom Doudney A NEW study has provided a clearer picture of how roads, car parks and roofs in Addington and Riccarton are making a major contribution to pollution in the Avon River.

The Environment Canterbury commissioned study focused on the Addington Brook (pictured) – a storm water-influenced waterway which runs largely underground from sources near Acheron Drive and Hands Rd before emerging in South Hagley Park and joining the Avon River near Christchurch Hospital.

Storm water entering the brook is a key source of sediment and heavy metals such as zinc and copper in the river.

The study found that about 30 tonnes of total suspended solids, a category which includes sediment, twigs and leaves, animal faeces and other matter, was making its way into the brook over the course of a year.

Of this, more than 14 tonnes came from car parks, 8.8 tonnes from roads and seven tonnes from roofs.

After total suspended solids, zinc was the next largest con-

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN taminant load with about 340kg a year, 66 per cent of which came from galvanised roofs.

About 94 per cent of roofs in the catchment are galvanised.

Copper mainly came from major arterial roads and industrial car parks where heavy vehicles were manoeuvring.

About 17kg of copper was reaching the brook each year.

The study suggests a range of measures to address the issues, including replacing or painting galvanised roofs, using rain gardens and sump filters to minimise run-off and additional street sweeping.

ECan pollution prevention officer Jenny Watters said pilot studies, in partnership with the city council, to test the proposed solutions were in the early stages of development.

Odds against city cyclists

By Gabrielle Stuart ALMOST TWICE as many cyclists in Christchurch are being injured in crashes than those elsewhere in the country, new figures show.

Cyclists made up 13 per cent of people injured in crashes on Christchurch roads between 2010 and 2014, compared with seven per cent nationally.

The figures come after a cyclist was injured after colliding with a truck and being dragged under it in the central city last week.

The man, who was in his 60s, was believed to have been saved from serious injuries by his helmet, and escaped with a fractured collarbone.

Spokes Canterbury chairman Don Babe (above) believed the number of trucks on the roads in Christchurch were contributing to the statistics.

“In other areas like Auckland, if a big truck is going to the port they will mostly be on the motorway, but here they’re going right through the city. It’s no reflection on the trucking

In Brief ART BUILDING FOR CGHS Christchurch Girls’ High School will build a new arts faculty building as part of a $27 million development at the school.

industry, but when cyclists and trucks mix there’s only one outcome really.”

But he believed the figures did not paint a complete picture, because they didn’t account for the number of people who cycled regularly in Christchurch.

He said huge numbers of people chose to cycle in many parts of the city, including Beckenham where 18 per cent of residents cycled daily, higher than anywhere else in New Zealand.

“That means there’s a funny

relationship, because if you’ve got more people who cycle there may be fewer accidents per kilometre, but you’ll still see more accidents in the figures.”

‘It’s no reflection on the trucking industry, but when cyclists and trucks mix there’s only one outcome really.’ - Spokes Canterbury chairman Don Babe The figures also only included accidents which were reported

to police.

He believed the 13 major cycleways, which are being built in stages, would help to reduce the number of accidents.

He said education work was also being done with both truck drivers and cyclists to make them more aware of the dangers.

The Government is also looking at bringing in laws which would require trucks to use side skirts which could protect cyclists from being caught under the wheels.

BOTTLESTORE PLAN ABANDONED Opposition from Addington residents has forced a company to abandon its plans for a bottlestore in Selwyn St. AD Liquor Ltd, owned by brothers Amarjit and Ramandip Singh, had applied for a liquor offlicence for the site in the Selwyn St shopping area near Brougham St. GODWIT PLAN ON HOLD Plans to put sculptures of godwits in South New Brighton are on hold because the proposed site is in “noman’s land.” The South Brighton Residents’ Association wants to put the seven sculptures on the banks near the south-eastern entrance of the Bridge St bridge. The association presented a report to the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board last week. The community board approved a $3974.25 grant for Southshore artist Bon Suter to begin work on the sculptures and ring-fenced a further $8000 for the project until a location had been decided upon.

Another 22 per cent of the sales were to first-home buyers.

Mr Goodall said in Cracroft, where the median value is a lot higher than the other top performers at more than $620,000,

there was also a “significant” amount of first-home buyers, with 35 per cent of sales to this group.

“No doubt a different type of first-home buyers, but nonetheless, the fact another area with large growth has been driven to some degree by first home is not surprising.”

“We can see evidence of stronger growth happening at the lower end of the value range and weaker performance at the top end.”

Olivia Pither, 22 and Alex Thomson, 25, bought their first house two months ago.

The couple were “very surprised” when the first house they put an offer on ended up working out, Ms Pither said.

“We’d been looking around for about a month at a couple of other places, but we thought we’d have to put offers on quite a few before it got accepted.”

The two bought their threebedroom, double-garage Burwood home for $381,000, and moved in on April 1.

They put down 10 per cent and mortgage repayments are “quite affordable” Ms Pither said.

Treatment could be forced on addicts

By Gabrielle Stuart CIGARETTE smokers could be forced by their families to get addiction treatment against their will if new legislation is passed.

The Canterbury District Health Board has written to the Government worried that the legislation, which is designed for people whose drug or alcohol addictions are endangering their health or well-being, could have unintended consequences.

Under the legislation people can be detained for up to 56 days and forced to get treatment.

In the submission, CDHB chief of psychiatry Sue Nightingale said the current system was outdated and did need to be changed.

But she said the changes proposed were likely to cause more problems.

The definition of severe addiction in the legislation missed the people at the severe end of the spectrum, but included people it shouldn’t.

“The definition in the bill covers almost all patients dependent on opiates, cannabis, and a large number dependent on alcohol. More concerning it cov-

DIGGER DAMAGED An excavation company has had a digger allegedly vandalised and a tyre slashed amid community opposition to the planned demolition of an 152-year-old Addington villa.

The Enfield Villa in Burke St is set to be replaced by a block of flats in spite of opposition from nearby residents who wish to see it saved. Digout Services which is carrying out the demolition made a complaint to the police after its $150,000 digger had sticks, dirt and rubbish stuffed into its air intake. Operations project manager Nathan Paerata said repairing the damage would be expensive.

ers the vast majority of regular cigarette smokers.”

It needed to be limited to people who could face severe consequences to their immediate health or well-being, like people who were in danger of becoming homeless because of their addiction, she said.

It is estimated only 200 patients each year are likely to need compulsory treatment, but the CDHB believes that number is too low.

The Ministry of Health has estimated more than 60,000 people in New Zealand have an untreated substance dependence disorder.

Dr Nightingale was also worried many more families would come forward asking for treatment if the legislation was passed, but services would not have the resources to treat them all.

“There is a concern that the bill in its current form will raise the hopes of family/whanau of addiction sufferers, some of whom will become trapped in a ‘revolving door’ of treatment non-compliance, relapse and re-assessment.”

Canterbury University motivational interviewing specialist Mark Wallace-Bell said he would be very reluctant to force

someone into treatment for an addiction like smoking.

“People mandated by court have to turn up, but being there in person is different to being there in mind,” he said.

“My general concern would be that people who are forced to go into treatment are less likely to succeed and it makes it a lot harder for the service provider or psychologist to give them treatment.”

He said forced treatment was a lot more common in some other countries, like the United States.

A research review published in the Harm Reduction Journal found most studies recorded people pressured to get treatment by the courts or an employer stuck with the treatment longer and were more likely to complete the course than people who signed up voluntarily.

But most studies it looked at did not record the long-term effectiveness of the treatment, or take into account things like informal pressure from the person’s family or friends.

The bill passed its first reading in March, and a report on the submissions is due back to Parliament in September.

True identity in question IT’S OFFICIAL. I’m a hippie in disguise.

I say this for two reasons: Firstly, I was homeschooled.

But if that’s not reason enough for you (which, come on, it totally is) there is another reason.

And it has to do with the weird foods that have somehow made their home in my pantry.

I’m talking cacao nibs, boiled Manuka-leaf tea, buckwheat groats – like what the … when did this happen?

Just a few months ago, I made my first visit back to the rebuilt Piko Wholefoods in town (which looks great, by the way).

I walked in the door, looked at the other customers and suddenly felt very out of place. Don’t get me wrong, they’re a lovely bunch in there, friendly as.

It was just my stunning lack of henna-red hair, open sandals and organic cotton clothing that set me apart. I felt like a walking billboard for the chemicalladen, over-commercialised lifestyle that most who frequent the store are likely trying to avoid.

And then there was

the foods. It felt less like a supermarket, more like an odd magic emporium of potions promising lifechanging effects such as shiny hair, good skin and immortality.

Activated walnuts? Kombucha? Dandelion and burdock coffee alternative?

Whoa, ain’t nobody replacing my coffee.

I left with my brown paper bag full of goodies (tea, mainly) and a niggling question of whether I could use raw cacao nibs and butter to make a halfdecent block of chocolate.

Which is really all I was interested in, at that point.

But now I’ve realised I’ve started turning into one of Those People.

I’ve found myself exhorting the benefits of turmeric on more than one occasion (it’s great for your skin, but don’t use it as a face mask unless you want to look like a minion).

I eat raw cacao almost every day, and regularly find myself mixing odd tea concoctions on the

stove – like a giant witchy cauldron, only it’s full of ginger root, cinnamon quills and tea leaves. Certified organic tea leaves, might I add.

It was the moment when I found myself mountain biking all over the hills in Hanmer, in search of Manuka leaves with their promised anti-everythingbad properties, that I knew it had gone quite far.

I now regularly boil the leaves for tea.

But when it gets too far, I simply eat copious amounts of cheesy fake-as pizza to remind myself of my true identity: A hippie, but in disguise.

•Following my article last week on ethical clothing (and why we should buy it) I’ve had a great response from you lot. It sounds a lot of you are pretty hot on making sure others get a fair deal when making your clothes – go you good things!

Check Out the New Creative Technology Hub at Rangi Ruru

E

arlier this month, Naomi Climer one of the UK’s most senior female engineers and the first female president of Institution of Engineering and Technology, was interviewed on Radio NZ’s Nine to Noon programme. The IET is one of the world’s largest engineering professional bodies with over 167,000 members in 150 countries.

Naomi told programme host Kathryn Ryan, “we don’t seem to be putting the right kind of emphasis on STEM (science technology engineering and maths) subjects; we do seem to put (especially) girls off those subjects quite early on. Parents and teachers have a huge role in this.”

At Rangi Ruru Girls’ School, we understand the importance of our role in putting the right emphasis on STEM subjects. As a part of that, our new Creative Technology Hub will be open in time for the school Open Day on Monday 16 May. Principal Dr Sandra Hastie says the Hub

“Our students are able to take their own personal interests in technology and grow them with essential skills in areas including coding, robotics, gaming, app development, 3D printing and technology, web design and the interactive digital world,” she says.

Viewpoint

Clearing up confusion LABOUR IS choosing to confuse the terms of ‘when new’ and ‘as new’ in the Earthquake Commission’s application of the law for repairing Canterbury homes.

It’s sad that those who claim to be advocate’s for Canterbury homeowners are knowingly confusing terms to their perceived advantage.

EQC’s policy has always been that it will reinstate earthquake damage to a condition substantially the same as ‘when new’ which includes complying with any applicable laws.

An example is a 1940 villa with an asbestos roof and original wiring, where in the earthquake the chimney came through the roof and damaged a light fitting.

EQC would not repair the asbestos roof, but would replace the roof with a modern alternative.

When it comes to the light fitting, if an electrician states that the wiring is safe, EQC would re-attach it, if not, the electrician would replace the wiring back to the safe point.

As was agreed by both EQC

Gerry Brownlee

and the EQC Action Group in the recently released Joint Statement, there is a process that has always been available for EQC customers to seek a review of their claim.

Warranties apply to earthquake repair work, as they do to all building work in New Zealand, as set out under the terms of the Building Act. Also, there are and always

r

ansfe r T t a

He

have been numerous robust avenues for review and appeal of the standard and scope of earthquake building repairs.

This includes if a customer believes that damage to their property has been missed, they wish to query the repair strategy the EQC has proposed, or the settlement amount.

The EQC Action group agreed to, and signed, a statement saying there is no material disagreement and that EQC had always maintained its position.

It’s important to note that the court action brought about by this group of claimants resulted in a statement of information that could have been found on EQC’s website.

Labour is trying to make menace where it doesn’t exist.

Gerry Brownlee is Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration

Last week The Star asked readers what they thought about the St Andrews Hill and Bridle Path Rds intersection, after a city council report criticised its layout.

Lorraine Harrison, Mt Pleasant – I laughed out loud when I read the article, but wasting money is not really a laughable matter.

When the local community found out the plan for the intersection we were angry that it had not been discussed with the people who would be using it.

The city council hastily organised some meetings and many of us pointed out the many problems and safety issues and some retired engineers even came up with some alternatives.

However, it was obvious they had made up their mind and we were wasting our time.

How dare they now say they were not aware of the issues.

They were told a number of times at a number of meetings.

Now more money will be wasted by doing a report to find out how the mistakes were made and how will the problems be sorted.

The mistakes were clearly made by not listening to the people who drive this intersection every day. They, the city council

The Star

and their expert advisers knew best! What a joke.

Luckily I no longer have to use the intersection at peak time but it is still quite disconcerting that when you are coming off St Andrews Hill Rd you have to give way to your right and then dash right across to the other side to get in the left turning lane to the city.

You can’t see the cars coming down Bridle Path Rd (due to curve of the road) and they travel at quite a pace. I can’t see how Sara Templeton can make the comment that accidents were unlikely to be serious.

The idea that all this money has been spent and yet accidents are expected to be commonplace is just so stupid it is beyond belief.

Don Burns, of Mt Pleasant – Thanks for your article in The Star, it raised issues that I’ve been concerned about from the day the bridge was opened.

What I would like to know is why the safety audit did not pick up on the safety issues, and why the designers did not foresee the glaring problems in the design?

Why are the footpaths almost 4m wide when the pedestrian traffic is probably about 10 a day when the vehicle traffic is far greater?

Clean rivers are important

I’m sure most people would prefer four lanes, a narrow footpath and a cycle lane. Why didn’t the engineers consider a merging lane coming from St Andrews Hill Rd? As a resident of Mt Pleasant driving through St Andrews Hill Rd and Bridle Path Rd several times each day, I have to consider drivers coming from the east turning into Bridle Path Rd, traffic turning right from the bridge onto Bridle Path Rd and vehicles on my left who either want to turn left or right.

I do not think we need more traffic lights, there’s already too many around the city.

I do think people should be held to account, this roading system has been poorly designed and whoever is responsible should be explaining why this occurred.

Denny Anker – In response to your question about this intersection, my safety concerns compelled me to give up trying to cross the intersection from St Andrews Hill Rd very soon after it was completed.

My alternative involves the circuitous and time-consuming route down Cannon Hill Cres to Bridle Path Rd. In spite of the inconvenience, I would still prefer to do that rather than attempt to use the intersection as it currently is.

It is fortunate for me that I am only rarely there at peak times.

I will be relieved when work on Mt Pleasant Rd allows for uphill traffic so that I won’t have to use this intersection at all. I understand concerned residents/ users made submissions at the time of construction which were obviously ignored, as so often happens.

WHEN WE talk about the kind of city we want for our and our children’s future near the top of most lists is a clean, green and sustainable city.

This means different things to different people, but all seem to agree that having clean rivers flowing through our city is important.

I grew up a stone’s throw from the Heathcote River and walking, cycling and playing along that riverbank are vivid childhood memories to me. So the reports of pollution in our rivers really disturb me.

I don’t want to live in a city where kids run the risk of getting sick by jumping in a river.

We need to do much better than our settler forebears who had to appoint a Sanitary Commission as early as the 1860s, because the ‘crystal clear’ Avon River observed by the first pākehā settlers was filthy. Water-borne diseases were rife.

That’s why last weekend’s ‘Mother of all Clean-ups’ was such a heartening event.

Across the city around 1300 volunteers pulled on their gumboots, rolled up their sleeves and turned out to clean up our waterways.

Megan Woods

Jointly organised by the the Avon-Ōtākaro Network, the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network and the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust the event was a huge success.

Around 20 tonnnes of rubbish (that’s nearly 1000 black rubbish bags) along with 500 large items (including dumped mattresses, TV sets and building materials) were fished out the river.

I think we can measure the success in other ways too. Over

1000 people turning up and volunteering to clean up their patch of the river is something to really get excited about.

I helped out at West Spreydon School on Friday morning where the school took responsibility for their little stretch of the Heathcote.

Not only did the students, parents and teachers fish out all the rubbish but a parent who is a fresh water ecologist spent time with the children explaining to them why clean rivers are so important.

This was a case of locals taking action to tackle the problem of increasingly dirty waterways since the earthquakes. This is the spirit and energy we need to make sure drives our city’s regeneration.

The Big Question Police are encouraging people to stop donating money to homeless people camped outside department store Ballantynes, because it encourages them to continue begging. Bridget Rutherford asked the public whether they thought people should stop donating money to the homeless in the central city

Brian Jewell, retired, of Beckenham: “I think there’s a time and place for it, I suppose they’ve got to earn money. I’ve just heard stories that they might use the money to go buy other things, but that’s just what I’ve heard.

But there is a lot of homelessness around.

I don’t donate to them, I just give them a straight answer – no. I don’t think it’s a very good look at times.”

Rachel Procter, travel consultant, of Richmond: “No I think it’s up to the individual to decide whether they want to give money to the homeless or not.”

Matthew McGoverne, unemployed, of New Brighton: “I think it’s their own right to decide whether to give their money. I do donate to beggars a wee bit if I have money to give.”

Sharon Malcolm, author, of Queenspark: “I think people should help them as much as they can. I feel they have had a tough time and people should do as much as they can.

I’ve donated money to homeless people in central Christchurch before.”

Denvir Furze, student, of Hoon Hay: “I think if people want to give money to homeless people then it’s their choice.”

Should people stop donating money to the homeless in central city? Email editor@starmedia.kiwi

Bill Hobby, retired, of Bryndwr: “As long as you can see they are genuinely homeless, I don’t mind people giving them money.

As long as they mind their own business and they don’t approach you or get in your way, they don’t bother me.”

Mother’s Day bliss Melissa McDonnell I CAN still recall my own mother’s recipe for Mother’s Day success: “A sleep in; no fighting; and a lovely dinner”.

Thirty years on, and I find myself requesting the same thing.

At 5am, however, we were woken by the stampede of four tiny feet and two booming voices as our twins announced it was morning time. It was pitch black and a completely unacceptable time to start the day. My other half herded them back to their room, using hushed tones and desperate pleas to negotiate them back into their beds.

He continued to fend off a number of their attempts to re-enter our room until finally, at 6.30am, the two eldest girls woke.

It was pointless trying to defer the start of the day any longer and so, in honouring his Mother’s Day pledge, hubby hauled himself and the girls to the kitchen, closed the doors and let me be. I felt kind of bad for such an early start, but after 2sec, I rolled over and fell back into a lazy doze.

The next two hours were filled with banging, stomping, hushing, and excited chatter as the smell of pancakes eventually wafted up the hall. I figured it was time to prop myself up and let the kids do their thing.

The door flung open, four little girls flew onto my bed and I was smothered with hugs, kisses and uber amounts of love. Handmade cards were proudly presented, touting me as the “best mama ever”. My heart swelled as I saw all the hard work that had been put into

making these beautiful declarations of love. One of the best moments of my life.

Following suit was a tray of pancakes, a hot cup of tea, (and a tired looking man). Four little bodies crammed under the blankets and, after divvying my breakfast into five equal shares, I was inundated with explanations of each step in the Mother’s Day gift-making process.

The beautiful warm weather soon relegated the children to outside play and they were on strict instructions to seek me out only in an absolute emergency.

Otherwise, their dad was on duty to fulfil all requests for food, water, negotiation or judgement of best dance moves.

This allowed me to head out for some exercise; grab a coffee; read my book; receive fly-by cuddles; and then finish the day with a delicious meal and trash TV. My idea of bliss.

Yet, in spite of having had such a wonderful day, I remain conscious not to take any of this for granted.

Having lost my own mother the year before my eldest was born, I admit I have struggled with how to feel on Mother’s Day. It’s always been tainted with the bittersweet feeling that we were never able to share this day, both as mothers, together.

But for the first Mother’s Day since having children, I fell into bed feeling content

Gough’s bar plan canned

By Emma-Jane McLennan JAMIE GOUGH’S planned French fusion tapas bar for his Worcester Boulevard building has been canned.

The city councillor purchased the former English language school building, in partnership with his sister Rachel Gough and father Tracy Gough, for $2.3 million last year.

While they were originally in talks with a possible hospitality tenant, discussions with Heritage New Zealand and the city council’s own heritage team have brought that to an end, Mr Gough said.

“It was a romantic notion to have a tapas bar, but the more I talked with the heritage teams the more I realised it was not something they would support.”

Mr Gough said it was the planned alterations to the building which made the heritage experts think twice.

“I need to respect that, so we are reluctantly taking a different road.”

Mr Gough said the building will likely be filled with highlevel office tenants in the “very near future.”

What not to feed your best friend

DO YOU have a dog that’s willing to chew on any extra tidbits it comes across?

While your pooch may be keen to give anything a try (even things that aren’t generally categorised as edible), some seemingly harmless foods should be kept far away from Fido.

According to a list created

by The Sun, these common kitchen staples can be very dangerous for a hungry hound.

GRAPES To a dog, these juicy little pods look perfect for snaffling, but grapes and raisins contain toxins that can be fatal to our furry friends.

Although the compounds that cause the reaction are unknown, grapes can cause kidney failure, which can kill within three days.

CHOCOLATE You may have heard about this one already, but did you know that the darker the chocolate, the more toxic it is to dogs?

The caffeine and theobromine in chocolate can cause vomiting, dehydration, seizures, and even death.

MACADAMIA NUTS A relatively recent addition to the dog no-no list, macadamias can cause weakness in the hind legs, and difficulty walking. The reason for this is still unknown.

ONIONS AND GARLIC Even if your dog gives you those pleading eyes, don’t be tempted to share your dinner if the dish contains veges from the allium family.

Onions contain a compound that damages a dog’s red blood cells. Too much can lead to weakness, lethargy, and in extreme cases, the dog could require a blood transfusion.

APPLE CORES While the apple is okay, the seeds can be poisonous to pets.

Apple seeds contain cyanide, which can induce seizures, hyperventilation, and even coma.

AVOCADO While they’re a health food for humans, it’s a different story for

your dog.

Avocados contain persin, a toxin that can lead an upset stomach, breathing problems, and fluid build-up in your dog’s chest. And we don’t even want to think about the damage the stone could do.

BONES The old nursery rhyme that says ‘give a dog a bone’ is barking up the wrong tree.

Bones can cause havoc in a dog’s digestive system, where they can splinter, become lodged, and even puncture the digestive tract.

Cooked bones are especially dangerous, as they splinter more easily than the raw variety.

YEAST DOUGH If you like making your own bread, keep the uncooked dough well away from your dog.

The dough will expand in the dog’s stomach, causing a nasty stink at the very least.

In extreme cases, raw dough can cause painful bloating and lead to a stomach twist, which can be fatal.

DAIRY PRODUCTS Dogs don’t produce the enzyme necessary for breaking down the lactose in dairy products. Too much will a host of digestive problems, including vomiting and diarrhoea.

PAMPERED POOCH: Lu Ding and his dog, Mini, at Halswell Quarry Park.

Raw meat for Mini

By Emma-Jane McLennan MINI THE six-month-old german shepherd puppy dines solely on raw chicken, beef and horse meat.

Her breeder recommended the diet, owner Lu Ding said.

“She just eats raw food. Sometimes she watches us eat dinner and she wants some of that, too, but we don’t feed her our food.

She’s pretty well-behaved.”

He said that while raw meat could seem more costly, it works out well.

“It’s actually a similar price to good dry dog food, and it keeps her healthy.”

Mr Ding, who is a chef, says he was aware some foods could be poisonous for his dog.

“We avoid those. Sometimes we do feed her chicken necks with bones though, the breeder said raw bones are okay because they don’t splinter like cooked ones.”

As for chocolate, Mr Ding said that wasn’t a worry.

“Chocolate is for me, not for her,” [laughing].

Our People

Rob Hall

City’s development boss has As head of the city council’s new Development Christchurch arm, Rob Hall will be in charge of getting projects moving so that the city’s recovery stays on track. He spoke to Tom Doudney about his background as a Lieutenant Commander in the navy, planning flood defences in England and protecting heritage in post-quake Christchurch What is going to be the biggest challenge in your new role?

Just meeting expectations of people that we get on and deliver stuff. We are particularly keen to advance work in New Brighton.

The city council has already pledged some money towards the new saltwater pool complex, so we want to get moving on that quickly to give people in the east another facility and a drawcard.

You were born in Christchurch but you moved around a fair bit growing up, didn’t you?

Yes, my father was a policeman so he got posted around various places. I was born in Christchurch, moved to Twizel briefly, then to South Auckland where I started schooling, then down to Upper Hutt and Wainuiomata and then back to Christchurch.

What influence did your father being a policeman have on you?

It taught me about service and being a good citizen and always trying to help others when you can.

What made you join the navy after high school?

It was a great opportunity for a young person to leave home, to learn, to travel, to serve. I had a great time in the navy, it was very demanding on your time and the role I had was as a seaman officer which meant a lot of time away at sea which is ultimately why I chose to leave.

What was your most memorable posting with the navy?

I was posted for a period with the US coastguard on one of their icebreakers to go down to Antarctica which was a fantastic opportunity. I oversaw the Americans gathering bathymetric data which is used for international charts to update our knowledge of the world.

I was involved in a peace support operation to Bougainville in Papua Guinea during the early stages of the Civil War that happened there when the New Zealand Government dispatched three ships to oversee some peace talks between the Papua New Guinea government and the warring factions.

And you also helped in Western Samoa recovery efforts in 1991 after Cyclone Val? Yes, my memory there was being up on the roof of a small hospital having picked up the corrugated iron roofing which was blown off and sitting in bushes and spread around the landscape. That was a really humbling opportunity where we were able to help.

So you spent 13 years in the navy then settled in England for a while. How did that come about?

I was sent to the UK in the navy to do some postgraduate study and then stayed on as part of an exchange programme where I was the operations officer of a warship in the British navy.

large coastal schemes and some of the tributaries and embankments along the River Thames in London.

It seems like even before coming back to Christchurch a lot of your work has focused on disasters then.

Yeah, very much so. In my time at the Environment Agency

I was involved in a major flooding event in 2007 when there was widespread flooding across the south-east of England.

There were casualties and huge amounts of damage to social infrastructure and utilities.

With your survey work that took you around the world, where did you travel to?

I did work at the new Hong Kong International Airport, in Angola up in the north-west of the country looking at putting in infrastructure there, and a number of wind farm projects around the UK. I also got involved in work at Dubai and Kuwait.

When you came back in 2012 you became general manager of Heritage New Zealand’s southern branch. Were there heritage buildings that were demolished during your time that you felt shouldn’t have come down?

I think you can look back in hindsight and at times question decisions that were made but you have got to sort of wind the clock back to the environment people were making those decisions in, in the context of aftershocks and ongoing stability issues and damage. You could never have saved all the heritage buildings.

Chef bears scars of kitchen work

By Gabrielle Stuart Ever wondered who is cooking your food when you go out to a cafe or restaurant? The Star continues its series talking with chefs.

No. 4 Bar & Restaurant head chef – Ian Mulling STEPPING INTO the kitchen for the first time at the age of 16, Ian Mulling believed he had joined a band of “pirates”.

He was on work experience at Dux de Lux at the time, and said the experience left him wideeyed.

“They didn’t care about any rules, and there were a lot of swear words. I thought these people are like rebels, they’re pirates. I was pretty shocked.”

But in spite of being given the job of cleaning dishes out the back, he said he loved being part of the team.

That was almost 25 years ago, but he said the camaraderie in the kitchen was still something he loved.

“It’s all about the crew, you become best buddies. You work with some of the weirdest people, people you wouldn’t usually

CHEFFING: Head chef Ian Mulling joined the team at No. 4 soon after the earthquakes, as the demands on the restaurant team there skyrocketed. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN meet. But you get to know them so well you develop a soft spot for them.”

The people were part of the reason he stayed in Christchurch after the earthquakes.

He was working at the Clarendon Hotel at the time, which was demolished, but the owner invited him to join the merged team formed at No. 4.

The restaurant and bar became a hot spot after the city was closed, drawing in hundreds of

people some nights.

Catering for so many people was a huge challenge for the team in the kitchen, he said.

“We had the best crew. It was stressful, but fun. The most difficult part was that you’d do a massive amount of work in a night, but you’d know you’d be starting all over again the next day.”

It was almost a year and a half before the demand settled down, he said.

And between the long nights,

he was trying to spend as much time as possible with his wife Rebecca and young children, Alex, 8, and Zoe, 5.

Although his work often meant he missed evenings and conventional weekends with his family, he said it had been ideal while his children were young as it allowed him to spend hours with them at home during the day.

He also met his wife on the job.

She was the daughter of his boss when he worked at Wakefields of Sumner restaurant.

“It was the classic daddy’s daughter stuff. We were just friends at first, but we kept meeting up and drinking together at daddy’s restaurant.”

Although he said she was a great cook herself, they usually kept it simple when cooking at home.

“I make a kicka..e spag bol and

a great roast. It’s usually nothing fancy.”

Keeping it simple was also the key to developing a great menu, he said: Preserving the essence of the classic dishes people asked for, but giving them the twist which made them interesting and something special.

His work also allowed him to travel, with a year’s work in a restaurant in Dublin funding a worldwide OE in his younger years.

He said the kitchen there was “the size of a cupboard” but the restaurant served hundreds of customers a night. It helped to prepare him for the work in Christchurch, he said.

And although the job was stressful at times, he said he could not imagine doing anything else.

He said he had wanted to be an architect as a kid, but now he didn’t believe he could survive work in an office cubicle.

Other potential career paths had been ruled out as well.

“I’ve got scars all over my hands, the pot of hot oil I tipped over myself at Cafe Valentino was probably the worst. So whatever I do, I’m never going to be a hand model.”

Gardening Advice with Dwarf fruit trees

Q

Like Daltons Ltd on Facebook

I would like to plant some dwarf fruit trees (apple, peach, pear) when spring arrives. The area is currently grass. What can I be doing to the area/soil to get it ready for the fruit trees come spring? The soil is dry but drains ok and slightly clayey.

Congratulations! Today’s winning question came from Emma O’Connell.

A

Of the apples, peaches and pears, only the apples can be purchased grafted onto dwarf root stock. Peach trees can be easily pruned to maintain a small tree. Pear is a very vigorous tree however, and may need to be espaliered if you have insufficient room for a large tree to grow.

Preparation over winter prior to spring planting can involve digging the proposed site to a spade depth and working in large quantities of Daltons Compost into the existing soil. By adding in this organic matter, it will help improve draining in your clay heavy soil. You can repeat this process 2-3 times during the winter months.

Please do note that the best pip and stone fruit trees arrive at garden centres from late May onwards so it would be beneficial to bring your planting time forward.

To plant your new tree, dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the container it came in. Add generous amounts of Daltons Compost to the hole and mix in well. It’s also worth adding in some Daltons Organic BioFungicide Granules which act as a living barrier around growing roots and protect against plant pathogens. To help with drainage, create a mound at the bottom of the hole, in the middle where the rootball will sit. Place the plant in the hole and replace the soil so it’s compact and firm. The ideal tree position is when the base of the stem sits slightly higher than ground level.

BACKED BY ODERINGS QUALITY GUARANTEE

Prepare for winter Rachel Vogan talks you through what to be doing in the garden now WITH A good chunk of nature’s planting time – autumn – behind us, it is time to start thinking about what you will get up to in the garden over winter.

If you fancy putting away your garden gloves

and boots for a month or two, no problem, just make sure you get on top of some key jobs before you do so.

To limit the winter load, trim hedges and edges now, rake up leaves and spray paths to remove

FRUIT

Pears and apples are pretty much done now. Leave any extras on the trees, not only will they look pretty, but the waxeyes will love them once winter arrives. To store them, place in single layers in trays or boxes and keep somewhere cool in a dark place. Check the fruit often for blemishes, as once one begins to rot it will infect the whole lot quickly. In young trees, while the stems are still flexible, they can be trained along wires or frames to make shapes.

Doing this now, before the wood stiffens, makes the job easier.

lichen and moss.

Give the birdbath a clean-out – it’s far easier to do this before the ground becomes a soggy swamp.

Cut back leggy perennials and enjoy picking the last of the dahlias.

FLOWERS

For hydrangeas that have finished flowering, feel free to prune them any time from now. Generally cut back by half.

VEGETABLES

Harvest yams once the tops die down and a few frosts have sweetened the deal. Store as you would potatoes, in a cool, dark place. Sow new rows of peas now – sugar snaps and snow peas are quick and easy to grow. More punnets of spring onions can go in, too, as fresh onions are always welcome in winter, and remember they are perfect for tubs and planters as they don’t take up a lot of root room. Pick the last tomatoes, peppers, chillies and eggplants.

Theatre/Arts Schools ready to rock Stage Challenge

SCHOOLS FROM around Canterbury will be performing next week as Stage Challenge and J Rock stop in the city for its nationwide tour.

For two nights some of Canterbury’s youngest, brightest and most creative minds will step into the spotlight to perform.

Event manager Hazel Reid said the competition gives youth invaluable life experience and acts as the perfect platform to showcase talent in all its forms.

Students work together portraying performances on themes reflecting issues concerning them and aim to have the audience leave the event thinking critically.

The Stage Challenge will be held on May 17-18. To book tickets go to http://premier. ticketek.co.nz

Blue Man winners The winners of Blue Man Group ticket giveaway are Ali Beken, of Somerfield and Tessa Holland, of Mairehau. More information on the Christchurch shows can be found at www.blueman.com

State of the art facility for musical community

Students awarded scholarships for Melbourne

THE CITY’S musical community has a new facility available to them following the opening of the state of the art CBS Music Centre.

The music centre was reopened earlier this month next to St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral in Manchester St. The original building which sat alongside the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was severely damaged in the earthquakes.

As part of the official opening, the CBS Choir and Orchestra performed a Te Deum concert.

Music centre director Don Whelan said the new facility took three years to develop due to its unique design qualities.

Mr Whelan said the choir and orchestra were “lucky enough” to have advice from acoustic specialists Marshal Day. He said as a result the new centre has a high ceiling with reflective panels, absorbent surfaces and heavy curtains making the sounds in the room adjustable.

“We can adjust the sound depending on whether we want to have no echo at all or a nice ring

THREE STUDENTS from the Impact Dance & Stage School have been accepted into The Edge Performers School in Melbourne.

Following auditions held in Christchurch last week, the three students were awarded with scholarships if they choose to study at the school.

Impact Dance & Stage School director Mandy Roberts said she was very proud of her three students who she had been teaching since they were in primary school.

She described her students as self-disciplined, hard-working and “nice boys”.

“All three of them want to do something with the performing arts and I think there are a number of schools here and overseas they can audition for, so there are options.”

The Edge Performers School specialises in musical theatre, commercial jazz, acrobatics and singing.

Mr Shatford, Mr Duff and Mr Murphy are all involved in Showbiz Christchurch’s upcoming version of Hairspray which will be staged at the Isaac Theatre Royal next month.

People at their happiest buying jewellery

By Emma-Jane McLennan GARNET, GRANITE and jade.

Three stones, from three corners of the globe – collected by a young man on his travels, to be crafted into a ring for the moment he gets down on one knee and asks for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage.

Jeweller Vanessa Stowers, whose business Filigree is making the ring, says it is this kind of story that makes her work so enjoyable.

“I think I’ve possibly got one of the best jobs in the world. I see people at their happiest, when they’re celebrating,” she said.

Mrs Stowers started making jewellery 20 years ago, but her love for sparkly things started well before that.

Her earliest memory of buying jewellery was at just seven years old, when she and her twin sister got their first pocket money.

Her sister bought lollies. But Vanessa went straight to Northlands Shopping Centre and bought a blue enamel swallow necklace.

“I can remember it like it was yesterday,” she said.

When she finished school, she started a degree in craft design at the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (now Ara

PRETTY THINGS: Jeweller Vanessa Stowers spends her days running her boutique, custom-made jewellery business Filigree.

Institute of Canterbury). Soon she was specialising in metalwork, and that turned “pretty quickly” into making jewellery. It was an unorthodox way to learn, but one that has worked out well, she said.

“Normally to train, you’d go straight to a manufacturing firm. My advantage of doing it differently was getting more of a

design concept – the arty side of things.”

Being a female in the jewellery industry was pretty unheard of at the time. Traditionally, maledominated, being female has its advantages she said.

“Jewellery is predominately worn by women, and it’s usually an emotive purchase. I think as a

women I can really buy into that emotional celebration and know what they’re looking for.”

Now that she’s got her own jewellery store, she employs two female jewellers and three males.

“That’s pretty unusual in Christchurch, post-quake.”

She sells ready-to-wear jewellery through Filigree and its

sister-brand Filly, but focuses on custom-made pieces.

She said she “simply cannot understand” people buying the likes of their engagement rings online.

“You know if you’re buying a fridge, whatever. But there are very few things in life you’ll buy that are this emotive. Time needs to be taken in choosing it, and making it uniquely yours.”

That’s what she’s focusing on, and it’s working.

This year she’s celebrated 10 years of the business, and is looking to expand Filigree’s online presence, Mrs Stowers said.

“I’ve got a lot on my plate. But I’ve got just the best team behind me, and I love it.”

Awesome views at Grand Canyon

By Mike Yardley “BETTER THAN Disney World?” a fellow hiker enthused rhetorically.

We were marvelling at the infinity panorama, atop the Grand Canyon, on the Rim Trail at Mather Point.

Last time I visited this astounding megalith of nature, I couldn’t see a damn thing, foiled by a freak snow storm and a heavy veil of fog.

Mercifully, the weather gods were smiling on the throngs of sightseers, this bright, clear April morning.

The Grand Canyon lures over five million visitors annually.

Ninety per cent plump for the South Rim experience, which is superbly serviced by transportation options and home to the finest collection of landmark buildings you’ll find in any US national park.

If you’ve ever wondered about the dimensions, the canyon stretches for over 400km. Even though the average distance across the Grand Canyon is only 16km, it’s a 346km drive between the park’s South Rim Village and the North Rim Village. Self-driving the American SouthWest, I parked up my rental car at Williams, opting to board the Grand Canyon Railway train, which chugs its way to Grand Canyon Village in a little over two hours.

Coupling storied history with rolling scenery through desert, prairies and forest, (keep an eye out for prairie dogs and antelopes) the rail excursion spectacularly rekindles the pioneering spirit of the West and the advent of rail tourism to the Grand Canyon – which is about to celebrate a milestone.

It was 115 years ago that the first train arrived at the South Rim from Williams, on September 17, 1901 – a spur line of the Santa Fe Railway.

As the car steadily became king, the railway fell out of favour, shutting down in the late 60s. But for the past 20 years, the Grand Canyon Railway has captured the imagination of a new generation of travellers, complete with vintage carriages and engines. In addition

SPECTACULAR: The wonder of Grand Canyon mixes with rolling scenery through the desert. Look out for wildlife. to the excellent on-board narration, you’ll love the costumed musicians who play tunes of the West. www.thetrain.com On arrival at Grand Canyon Village, it’s the monumental immensity of the canyon that takes your breath your way, stretching into the smudgy never-ending yonder.

It’s the myriad of colours, the wondrous layering, and the interplay of light that fixated me. If you’re up for some intrepid hiking from Grand Canyon Village, the Rim Trail wraps around the canyon rim for over 20km, from Hermit’s Rest to Desert View Drive.

The trail is paved and nearly level, so it’s an easy stroll, but there are no walls or railings along much of the trail. The alarming stupidity

of my fellow tourists was turning me into a nervous Nigel. It’s all very Darwinian.

So many visitors, armed with proboscis-like selfie sticks, walked backwards closer and closer to the precipice, to get that perfect shot, seemingly oblivious to the impending danger.

How many people do actually tumble to their deaths? Dying from heat or dehydration is actually more common, but on average, roughly a dozen people careen into the canyon, every year.

Most are male. Many are posing for photos and lose their footing, although last year, a 38-year-old father from Texas pretended to fall to scare his daughter, only to accidentally fall 150m to his death,

shortly afterwards.

What I really like about the US national parks are the rangers, suitably dressed in Smokey Bear attire, provide a regular schedule of free walk and talks, which will certainly enrich your understanding of nature’s artistry.

For an epic but doable day hike, take the free shuttle to Hermit’s Rest and enjoy the less-trafficked solitude on the 13km trek back to Grand Canyon Village. You should also go below the rims, even if it’s for a mile or two, to grasp a greater sense of the canyon’s scale and to study the bewitching sequence of rock strata.

The Bright Angel trail would be my pick. Speaking of which, Bright Angel Lodge is one of the

Built in 1935, and now operating primarily as a restaurant, don’t miss Bright Angel’s History Room fireplace, a 3m geologic cross-section of the Grand Canyon’s rock layers.

From the Vishnu Schist at the base to the Kaibab Limestone on top, the attention to detail is astounding.

Sport FIRST START: Cashmere Technical’s up-and-coming midfielder Simon Chretien, 17, is expected to start in his first Chatham Cup fixture against Burwood AFC on Saturday.

This year’s Chatham Cup sees 130 teams from around New Zealand compete for the trophy. Chretien said he hopes to get on the ball and calm his nerves early in the game. “I’ve learned a lot off the seniors. I think since I’ve been integrated into the squad, I’m more excited than nervous for it,” he said. Cash Tech won the Chatham Cup back-to-back in 2013 and 2014. The game kicks off at 2pm at Clare Park.

Schools’ rugby on CTV

By Fraser Walker-Pearce A FOURTH round game in the UC Championship will televised on Saturday.

Burnside High School will host St Thomas of Canterbury College and the game will screen on CTV at 2.40pm.

The annual Crusaders regional secondary schools competition has been running since 2001, but has had just four winners.

Christchurch Boys’ High

School has won eight competitions, including six in a row between 2001 to 2006.

St Bede’s College has won six times, Nelson College once, and Marlborough Boys’ College once.

In the 2013 competition, St Thomas were the winners of the plate, beaten by Marlborough in the final.

And in both 2014 and 2015, Burnside were the plate winners.

They were second to Boys’ High

and St Bede’s respectively in those finals.

Other games in round four sees Ashburton College take on Nelson College, Rangiora High School will host Christ’s College, Waimea Combined are playing St Bede’s, Lincoln High School will face St Andrew’s College, Shirley Boys’ High School host Roncalli College, Marlborough Boys’ College have the bye, and Boys’ High will take on Timaru Boys’ High on Tuesday.

RECOVERY: Masaji Haruki in hospital after breaking his neck in August.

Jockey fit to ride again but at higher risk of injury

By Tom Doudney AN APPRENTICE jockey who broke his neck after falling from his horse during the Riccarton races in August has been cleared to ride again.

However, Masaji Haruki will carry with him a higher than average risk of serious spinal injury if he does get back in the saddle.

After his incident, it was found that he had been born with two fused vertebrae, just above the one which he had broken.

Haruki, a Japanese rider who came to New Zealand two and a half years ago to pursue his dream, said he still intended to ride again and was looking for a new trainer.

He has been doing his appren-

ticeship with Riccarton trainers Kevin and Pam Hughes but Hughes said he would not allow Haruki to ride for him again due to the higher injury risk.

“I went up and visited him every day when he was at Burwood [Hospital] and there were enough people up there in wheelchairs, I wouldn’t want that to happen with him,” Hughes said.

“I would like him to be my travelling foreman and carry on working for me.”

However, Haruki said he still wanted to be a jockey and he was in conversation with a jockey mentor about finding a new stable.

“I am keen to get back on the horses now because my fitness is 100 per cent.”

More game time key to fitness – Naholo Waisake Naholo rates himself as being only 50 per cent fit. Who knows what he can do if he gets to 100 per cent?

Naholo, who celebrated his 25th birthday on Sunday with a lie-in and a nice lunch, came back into Super rugby last week with a tryscoring double in the Highlanders’ win over the Chiefs in Hamilton on Saturday night.

Naholo, who showed his speed and strength to score the tries, said he did not do a lot to dot down.

“Our forwards did most of the work. I just caught it and put it down,’’ he said.

Winger Naholo said he was struggling to get through the game as his lack of match play quickly caught up with him.

“It wasn’t easy. It was cramps and all that. It [match fitness] is still a work-on for me. I’m probably at 50-60 per cent match fitness.

“You can do all the biking, and all the rowing but it is just the stuff

when it comes to the game. The contact takes a lot out of you, running around the field and yelling and all that.’’

The Fijian said the only way to get up to match fitness was doing exactly that - playing in matches.

Naholo broke his leg last year in a test against the Pumas in Christchurch.

He then broke the same leg in the first game of the season against the Blues.

But the leg gave him no issues last Saturday night.

“I didn’t feel the leg. I didn’t think about it at all when I went out to play. Every time you go out on to the field you could get injured, as it is a contact sport.’’

Naholo may come up against another Fijian winger this week but it will not be the suspended Nemani Nadolo.

Northland winger Jone Macilai scored three tries for the Crusaders against the Reds on Friday

night and looks to have plenty of speed and strength.

“He is quick. He is pretty quick.

I think we have got a game plan to take care of him. It is just another challenge for me. You’ve got to be fast and skilful. I hope I just don’t get burned out there.’’

His Fijian team-mate, Patrick Osborne, is rumoured to be heading to Japan after this season but Naholo has signed on for another year at the Highlanders, next year.

HOW TO PLAY It’s like sudoku: each vertical and horizontal line has to contain the numbers 1-6, and the numbers can’t be repeated in any row or column.

But it’s sudoku with a twist: The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares, called cages, must produce the number in the top corner.

For example, 5+ means the numbers add up to 5, 9x means the numbers multiply to equal 9.

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the same line or row. © 2015 KenKen Puzzle LLC. All rights reserved

Selection of our great deals WAS $18,995

By Ross Kiddie IF YOU’VE long considered buying what’s often been deemed as the motor industry’s most desirable hot hatchback – Peugeot’s 208 GTi – but have always considered it a little too small to be practical, then Peugeot may still have an exciting sports car for you.

I’m talking about the newly-released 308 GTi, it is true to the hot hatchback concept, yet it is dimensionally bigger than the 208 offering all of the performance aspects but in a body shell which is more family-friendly.

And, what’s more, it gets the same engine – the 1.6litre turbocharged unit which has found its way across several vehicles from the Citroen/Peugeot stable.

Some might argue that 1.6-litre is hardly the powerhouse for a sports car, but I can report that somehow Peugeot has managed to extract 200kW from this engine, and with a fabulous 330Nm of torque available from just 1900rpm it is a true powerhouse.

I remember well when engines of 2-litre capacity were bordering on 200kW, that was deemed to be a stroke of engineering genius, now that mass market cars can achieve that output from just 1598cc is, to me, simply remarkable.

Not surprisingly, the 308 GTi is quick, Peugeot claim a 6sec standstill to 100km/h time and accelerating through a quick highway overtake, the test car stopped the clock at 4sec (80km/h to 120km/h).

Because of its capacity there aren’t big cylinders to fill with fuel.

Consequently, the 308 GTi also gets a remarkable fuel usage rating.

Peugeot also claim a sixlitre per 100km (47mpg) combined cycle average.

My testing time included a 5.3l/100km (53mpg) instantaneous readout at 100km/h (engine speed 2400rpm) and a 7l/100km (40mpg) average figure when I returned the car to the dealership. All of these figures are impressive, you can combine the exhilaration of swift movement without fear of melting the credit card come fill-up time.

Not surprisingly, the 308 GTi is engineered

Open 7 Days PEUGEOT 308 GTi: Quintessential hot hatchback.

specifically for those who like to be well involved in the driving process. It is a manual-only model, the six-speeder has a shift movement close and direct, the clutch is moderately firmed but progressive with its action. The suspension is also well-firmed, it’s not hard, but it is optimised to accept the challenge of vigorous cornering.

• Price – Peugeot 308 GTi, $58,990 • Dimensions – Length, 4253mm; width, 2043mm; height, 1446mm • Configuration: Fourcylinder, front-wheeldrive, 1598cc, 200kW, 330Nm, six-speed manual.

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 6sec • Fuel usage – 6l/100km

I took the GTi on a high country loop which incorporated many varying twists and turns. It is a car which relishes that environment, not only does it usher in speed forcefully between corners, it has body balance and suspension control not unlike that of its sibling – the 208 GTi. Providing the grip are sticky, sport specification Michelin Pilot tyres (235/35 x 19in). They provide solid feedback as to how they are performing in a corner, and they combat the force of engine power as it is applied on corner exit. There is little indication that push towards understeer would develop, the handling sensation is neutral.

A feature which I found very entertaining is the dynamic sport system.

If you initiate a consolemounted switch the GTi enters a frenetic, manic mode. The engine exudes a louder tone, and throttle response is a lot more reactive. Dashboard graphics also let you know you are

in dynamic mode, three percentage bars for power, boost and torque are displayed depending on throttle actuation. Personally, when I was in dynamic mode I was too busy looking at the road to find the displays overly useful, but I can report that in that mode the GTi is an angry car, although one which is easily controllable.

When it comes time to chisel off speed, huge Brembo brakes slow the GTi with surety, pedal feel is constantly strong.

Not only is it a car of true performance, the 308 GTi is also specced to provide the niceties that you would expect from a car which isn’t budget-priced at $58,990.

For that money you get specification items which include satellite navigation, keyless entry and ignition and leather trimmed sports seats.

As a series, the 308 sits on the cusp of the mid-size hatchback, it couldn’t be classed as a true five-seater, although there are three seat belts across the rear; but mostly it is a comfortable four-seater and it also has the benefits of rear doors.

And while the 308 range isn’t vast in terms of model proliferation, there are interesting aspects within the range. Notably, a diesel GT was released at the same time as the GTi, I’m due to drive that car soon and I simply can’t wait. It shares much the same componentry which makes the GTi so agile yet, I’m assuming it has that fabulous mid-range boost that only diesel engines develop.

But if you are of the belief that hot hatchbacks should be petrol-powered only, the GTi is a true competitor to the wide range of models which have landed in that part of the market in the last few years.

Sat 1-1.30pm & Sun 2-2.20pm Lyttelton: 37 Cornwall Road

Harbour views: Modern 3 bdrm, 2 bthrm home. Large double garage. RV: $590,000. Price by negotiation

Concrete With over 30 pre-mixed colours and a dozen different stains available, there is a wide range of decorative patterns that are stamped on and different textures that do a convincing job of imitating more expensive materials,

Especially if you have already been paid out by your insurance company. I have a large number of buyers keen to buy now, “as is, where is”.

Saturday 11-11.30am Papanui: 108 Harris Crescent Five bedrooms for the price of two: 4 bedroom, plus 1 bedroom with facilities. Leasehold land. Great starter home. RV Improvements. $245,000. Price by negotiation.

Tiles or pavers are easy to install and maintain, and with a wide range of materials on offer, from natural stone to porcelain, there are a few factors to consider before making your final choice.

Brick Durable and hardy, brick pavers give a more traditional feel to outdoor areas.

Available in a range of hues, from the standard red to muted shades of green, rust, brown tan and beige, they also come in various sizes and finishes that look like both new and aged bricks.

Brick pavers are easy to maintain and easily cleaned with soapy water.

Although they dry quickly in the sun, they can form a slick, mossy film in shady spots where the moisture lingers.

I can sell your TC3 home!

the team you can trust Burwood: 93 Travis Country Drive

Paving the way Natural stone Choose from granite, marble, slate, limestone or travertine for a luxurious finish to your outdoor entertaining and living spaces. Available in both rectangular and square-shaped tiles, these come in a range of sizes, colours and finishes.

Of all the natural stones, granite is the hardest wearing and the least porous, so it is resistant to stains and spills.

Slate is softer than granite and marble, and is therefore more suitable for walls than floors. Available in strong colour variations – from green to grey, right through to orange, brown and tan – its beautiful textures are ideal for adding interest and contrast with other materials. Limestone is another beautiful natural stone but as it’s highly porous, it must be sealed for stain protection. Not only available in white, limestone also comes in brown and in tumbled and polished finishes.

Travertine is similar to limestone in that it’s very porous with visible pitting in the stone, so it also must be sealed.

such as natural stone and slate.

Concrete tiles are strong, durable and slip-resistant. They easily withstand freezing temperatures and soak up the heat during the day which is then released when the sun goes down. Just like brick, concrete tiles are easily cleaned with soapy water, and although not necessary, they do benefit from a sealant to protect them for long-term use.

Porcelain Porcelain tiles are the go-to tile for decorative drama. Colours are practically limitless and patterns are numerous, so let your imagination run wild. The great multitasker, porcelain tiles can be made to resemble other materials, such as natural stone, brick, concrete, rock and even wood. As they are fired at extremely high temperatures – unlike ceramics – they are very hard, durable and non-porous.

Wood Recreate the look of an outdoor deck or hardwood floor with wooden patio tiles. Made from hardwood trees, they offer maximum strength and durability. As with all other wood products, wood tiles for the outdoors require regular maintenance to retain their beauty. Wood tiles must be finished with a decking oil, which produces a rich colour. Clean wood tiles with a water blaster and seal with a wood finish every three years.

Wood tiles should be installed on a hard concrete or asphalt surface for optimal durability, and sometimes tiles need an elevated PVC platform base to allow for adequate drainage and ventilation.

Moving to Oamaru after the February 2011 earthquake was the best move I made. The low crime, friendly people, and the lack of traffic congestion were some of the standout features for me. A fantastic place to bring up children. I also found the weather is very similar to that of Christchurch.

With the Waitaki Valley about an hour away some of the best boating, fishing, and tramping in the world are right on our doorstep. Weekend getaways are a regular thing. In a recent newspaper article Duncan Garner referred to Oamaru as his ‘favourite place’ and I tell you what, I tend to agree.

Oamaru is going ahead with up to 30% of our buyers coming out of the Christchurch/Ashburton region with a view to either purchasing an investment property, moving the family for a better quality of life, or coming here to retire.

Thinking of building? I currently have some great residential sections for sale at some great prices. With fantastic views or by the sea, your choice. There’s something about owning a brand new home. That new home smell, the latest technology, being able to put your own stamp on it during the build.

Come and join the exclusive club of new home owners and call me, Mark Kennard, now on 022 086 5225 or email markk@jhoamaru.co.nz

Dealer Finance Limited and the Commerce Commission have entered into a settlement agreement relating to overcharged interest on loans. This resulted from Dealer Finance not crediting part repayments made by borrowers against the unpaid balance of the loan as soon as practicable, and as a consequence, overcharging interest to the borrower.

If you purchased a vehicle through one of the car dealers listed below between April 2005 and April 2015, which was financed through Dealer Finance, you may be entitled to a refund of any overcharged interest, together with a 5% uplift payment.

Dealer Finance has recently sent notification to all affected clients by mail. If you have not received this notification please contact Dealer Finance by email on enquiries@dfl.co.nz to find out whether you are entitled to a refund.

Please include your full name, current and previous addresses, and if known, the car dealer you purchased your car through and the vehicle registration number.

PLEASE NOTE - NO contact is required from you: • if you still have a current open loan(s) with Dealer Finance; or • if you have previously repaid a loan(s) with Dealer Finance (taken out between above dates) but have a current loan(s) with Dealer Finance, as we will be crediting your open loan or we have made or are in the process of making appropriate internal adjustments.
