Water charges on the cards for city

â&#x20AC;˘If anyone has any information, phone Christchurch Central Police Station 363 7400 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Murdered woman caught on camera Â&#x201E;Â&#x201E; By Andrew King POLICE HAVE released the last known photo of murder victim Renee Duckmanton (above). The image shows the 22-yearold sex worker walking along Peterborough St, not far from the Margaret Mahy Family Playground, shortly after 9pm on Sunday, May 14. She was wearing sneakers, a white top and a dark-coloured jacket. Ms Duckmantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sÂ badly burnt body was found on Main Rakaia Rd, near State Highway 1, just north of

Rakaia, about 7.40pm the following day. Detective Inspector Darryl Sweeney said yesterday it is believed Ms Duckmanton arrived in the area near the playground shortly after 8.30pm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At approximately 9pm, Renee walked across Manchester St and into Peterborough St,â&#x20AC;? Detective Inspector Darryl Sweeney said. Police have released little information about the progress in finding Ms Duckmantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killer or killers. Said Detective Inspector Sweeney: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I have released

today is the only detail I can release at present. The lack of information (released) is by no means unusual. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard practice.â&#x20AC;? He would not say if police were following any strong leads. Ms Duckmantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral was held on Monday at Bell, Lamb and Trotter on Ferry Rd and cousin, Amy McGrath, said about 200 family and friends came together to celebrate her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She never said a bad word about anyone. We are all still upset and broken about what has happened. Her funeral was just perfect,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankly we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t value it unless we have to pay for it,â&#x20AC;? she said. In Christchurch, people use an average of 357 litres of water per person per day. In Auckland, with water charges, the average is 273 litres of water per person per day. City council spokesman John Mackie said water was a finite resource, so the option was always present in the city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking. Public consultation would be needed if charges for water use were brought in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been shown in other centres around New Zealand and elsewhere, that volumetric billing is a more equitable way to charge for water, raises awareness of the value of water, incentivises water conservation measures, defers capital demand on building new infrastructure, and better manages the demand for water particularly in peak times.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘Turn to page 3

Â&#x201E;Â&#x201E; By Gabrielle Stuart CHRISTCHURCH residents may need to pay a separate charge for their water use because of dwindling water supplies. A study has been completed on why Christchurchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streams are drying up, and what can be done about it. It will be discussed by the Christchurch West Melton Zone Committee tonight. In March, the water level in the aquifers feeding the city was the lowest on record. At the moment the cost of providing water is paid through rates. But there is no charge on the amount of water residents use. City councillor and committee member Pauline Cotter said water metering and charges was one of the options which would be up for discussion tonight. She said charging for water had dropped water use in Auckland by about 20 per cent.

JUST WHEN we finally thought the earthquake recovery was cranking up, another problem is about to befall the city – wayward roots. The experts say between five and seven years after a quake, tree roots start to wind their way into cracked underground pipes, blocking them and causing problems. We speak to the experts on page 3 and find out how long you’ve got to take some action to get the pipes fixed or replaced. On page 8, we talk to Kevin Barry and find out what he saw in Joseph Parker, the big punching, durable heavyweight boxer heading towards a world title fight. Parker fights in Christchurch in July on the way to the title. Still on the sporting theme, there’s a new elite in the rugby ranks – players who are just past their prime, or those who can’t quite make or hold a place in the All Blacks (page 32). By world standards they are still tip-top players and overseas clubs are paying big bucks for them. Enjoy today’s paper. Barry Clarke

It may not be safe, but it is legal in Australia to have the fire going in the oven. It’s okay as long as you have a front door – no different to a steam train, authorities advised.

It reveals that the majority of the bagged tube-shaped snacks sold in the supermarket are actually carved out from larger carrots. “There are so many people who honestly believe there are baby carrot farmers out there who grow these baby carrots that pop out of the ground and are perfectly convenient and smooth,” Cornell behavioral economics professor David Just said.

In Brief

Tree roots new threat to quake-cracked pipes By Tom Doudney HOMEOWNERS MAY be in for more earthquake-related pain with tree roots the culprit this time. The roots have found their way into small cracks in earthquakedamaged drainage pipes, blocking them as they grow. An EQC spokesman said the problem had been expected to crop up between five and seven years following the earthquakes, based on expert advice. Homeowners have a “grace period” until December 31 when any failure of lateral pipes consistent with earthquake damage would be treated as such by EQC with no further inspection. However, claims made after this time would face a higher burden of proof that the damage was earthquake-related. G N Brewer Drainlayers Ltd co-owner Deane Brewer (above)

the volume of requests coming in – about 15 to 20 a day. “Often the drains are under a driveway and we are getting a lot now where the driveways have been replaced but then the roots are getting in [to the drains] and we are having to take up the driveway that has already been replaced.” The problem is also hitting the city council’s wastewater pipes. Infiltration by tree roots had always been a problem for the network but head of three waters and waste

said now that tree roots had had time to grow into the drains, the problem was becoming more evident. “It only takes a tiny little fibre getting in, it doesn’t take a huge amount. Once that is in it just feeds on the nutrients and goes berserk and you can’t really stop it without repairing the pipe.” The company had two or three drainage crews working on repairing the problem each day and was about six weeks behind on camera inspections due to

MEMORIAL RIDE A memorial motor-cycle ride will be held this Sunday to mark 30 years since the mysterious death of 33-year-old Christchurch jeweller and keen motorcyclist Brian Edgington. Mr Edgington’s body was found beside his crashed car down a bank off the road in Allandale, but his family did not know why he was in the area or what had happened. The ride will be held from 11am on Sunday, leaving from the Sign of the Kiwi.

John Mackie said it had been made worse by the earthquakes creating more cracks. The city council was now putting more emphasis on root control and monitoring, which it had to fund itself. “The cost of root control this year is around $125,000 and this is likely to increase in the near future as other methods of control are considered such as chemical treatment or root foaming,” Mr Mackie said. •Quake experiences needed, p7

Water charges on the cards for city •From page 1 He said most businesses and homes were already metered, which would mean a charging system would be simpler to put in place. Water charges in Christchurch have been considered in the past, including in 2008 as part of the city council water strategy, and last year in the long term planning process. At the time a quota system was discussed, which would

mean people who used a lot of water would be charged extra while people who saved water might get a rebate. But Christchurch Budget Service chairman Don Johnson said he was sceptical about whether that would happen. “Someone’s going to be faced with a rise because of the administration costs involved, so as a system it is always going to cost more, not less.” He said a lot of families in

Christchurch couldn’t afford even $5 a week extra. Christchurch’s low groundwater levels have been made worse by the lower rainfall over winter, which is when the ground becomes saturated and the most water can seep into the aquifers. But Cr Cotter said even in years when there was a lot of rainfall the problem was expected to get worse, because of the changing climate and the spread of the city.

LOWER SPEED WANTED Governors Bay residents have come up with measures to try and help police clamp down on boy racer issues in the area. Community representatives met on Monday to discuss the progress that has been made on the problem over the past year. Resident Rosie Belton said the group decided it wanted to lower the speed limit on Dyers Pass Rd from 100km/h down to 70km/h. She said the road was too windy to drive at 100km/h. HOTEL ROOM SHORTFALL The squeeze on accommodation in tourist hotspots is getting tighter, causing critical constraints in some centres according to latest research. It focused on Christchurch, Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington and Queenstown and shows that, if demand and supply estimates are borne out, the shortfall in new hotel rooms is expected to be up to 4526 across these centres by 2025, over and above new hotels currently planned.

Council candidates condemn asset sales

By Bridget Rutherford LABOUR-ALIGNED group The People’s Choice has announced four council candidates to stand in October’s elections, but they say asset sales would be “off the table” next term. Councillor Phil Clearwater (left) will run for council in the Spreydon ward, Councillor Pauline Cotter in Innes, Councillor Glenn Livingstone for Burwood, and Councillor Andrew Turner, for Banks Peninsula. The People’s Choice has been strongly opposed to the city

council selling any of its assets, with its six elected councillors voting against it last year. Mayor Lianne Dalziel, who is also Labour-aligned, voted for the sales. Cr Clearwater said with the ex-

ception of City Care, which is in the process of being sold, further asset sales were “off the table” as part of the draft annual plan. The city council announced plans in March to scale back asset sales, by removing the amount

of money it needed from them, from $750m to $600m. “I think there should be a consensus around the council table that they are off the table, there is no need to sell further strategic assets,’’ Cr Clearwater said. He said pushing back projects in terms of what the city council could deliver, using dividends from the companies wisely and borrowing less money would be some of the ways it could get around asset sales. Cr Pauline Cotter was confident the draft annual plan remodel was going to stop the need for further asset sales. “I’m picking up there’s not going to be the need for it, we’ve got far more realistic delivery

programmes.” She would continue to support Lianne Dalziel in her mayoral campaign, in spite of their conflicting stances on asset sales. Cr Livingstone also said further sales would be “off the table”. Keep our Assets - Canterbury convener Murray Horton said it was “wishful thinking” to say asset sales were off the table completely. He said it was the councillors’ decision as to whether they supported Ms Dalziel’s mayoral campaign in spite of her having voted for asset sales. “That’s their decision, but if that support transitioned into them actively supporting asset sales, that would be different.”

Rich-lister steps back from role in investment firm By Gabrielle Stuart HIGH PROFILE businessman Humphry Rolleston is stepping back from investment firm Murray & Co, which announced last week it had sold its wealth management arm. The business was sold to First NZ Capital, which helped to set it up in 2008 and has been a shareholder since.

Mr Rolleston is on the National Business Review richlist, with his investment wealth valued at $70 million. As part of the deal, Mr Rolleston and fellow directors Rob Campbell and Bill Trotter have stepped down, although Mr Rolleston is still a director of a subsidiary company. Mr Rolleston, Mr Campbell and First NZ Capital all had

shares in the business, which they have sold to Murray & Co managing director Justin Murray’s family interests as part of the deal. Mr Murray said the two businesses had already been working very closely together for a number of years. “All that really changes is the brand. There will be no redundancies, and everyone stays in

the same office.” He said the changes were no reflection on Mr Rolleston or the other directors, who he said had done some great work within the company. He said it was also no reflection on the finances of the company, which he said was in a strong position. But he said the wealth management side of the business was

quite different to the investment banking side, and the clients they worked with were also different. The company wanted to focus on expanding its investment banking arm, he said. “The fact we have agreed to sell to First NZ Capital is because we have a strong relationship and confidence in them. It had to be the best decision for our clients,” he said.

Illegal guns seized by task force

By Gabrielle Stuart THE POLICE have seized 45 illegal guns in Christchurch since an offender task force was set up in February. District commander superintendent John Price said local police were actively targeting criminals who had illegal guns through its intelligence informed policing strategy. That lines up with a Government investigation which is underway into how widespread illegal gun use is, and how criminals get hold of them. Gang researcher and sociologist Jarrod Gilbert believed he believes all local gangs would have some access to guns, but how many was almost impossible to estimate. “In the underworld, if you’re a drug dealer, for example, you’re always at risk of being ripped off and that being taken from you. A stronger force in the underworld will take from a smaller force, and obviously a firearm is an equalizer there. So there are logical reasons for them to have firearms.” As anyone with gang connections is banned from owning them legally, that means they had to use other methods, he said. Despite rules around the safe

Gun crime: The number of prosecutions in Christchurch for prohibited weapon or explosive offences: • 2011-2015: 1199 • 2006-2010: 1447 • 2001-2005: 1088 • 1996-2000: 1022 • 1991-1995: 935 • 1986-1990: 1114 • 1981-1985: 731 storage of guns, they are regularly stolen in burglaries. About 34,500 Cantabrians have firearms licenses, according to the last count. MediaWorks Story journalist Heather du Plessis-Allan sparked debate over the issue in October, when she managed to buy a rifle online by forging paperwork and pretending to be a police officer. But Gun City owner David Tipple said doing that required putting down a real address. “Criminals don’t put their name and address down when they want to steal a gun. There’s totally enough protection, it would only be an idiotic, attention seeker who would try this on.” He said New Zealand had a very low rate of gun crime, so the investigation was a waste of

police time. He believed the current laws were enough to keep guns out of the wrong hands. “The 1983 Arms Act does very good job. It forced people into securing their firearms and that significantly reduced both firearms theft and firearms falling into the hands of criminals.” But Dr Gilbert believed more could be done. He said the idea of registering all firearms, like the way

cars were registered, had been rubbished as a “bureaucratic nightmare” in the past. But he believed technology meant a register could be much simpler and more feasible. That would give the police more idea of how many guns were in use and where illegal guns came from. Public submissions on the Parliamentary inquiry into illegal gun possession are open until June 8.

Bashed woman lucky to be alive By Andrew King POLICE SAY a woman is lucky to be alive after a violent home invasion. The woman was allegedly attacked with a piece of wood in her Burnside house about 3am on Friday morning. Her young children were home during the brutal assault. Police said a piece of wood was used in the attack which has left the victim with “extensive damage to her face and head”. The victim managed to call police herself after the attack. The alleged attacker Lealofi Setu, 39, was arrested at another property two hours later. He appeared in the district court on May 20 charged with two counts of contravening a protection order, aggravated burglary and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He was remanded in custody until June 13. Constable Natalie Deuchrass said the attack was particularly violent. “The woman is very lucky to be alive,” she said.

Councils blow cold on quarry plans

By Tom Doudney A REPORT suggesting Canterbury has plenty of aggregate material for the near future is a blow to quarries who say they should be allowed to dig deeper to help the rebuild. The city council and Environment Canterbury have both recommended that the Canterbury Aggregate Producers Group resource consent application be denied. CPAG, a group of nine quarry owners, want to be allowed to dig deeper than the current threshold of 1m above highest recorded groundwater levels. The applications, for quarries in the Yaldhurst, McLeans Island and Broadfield areas, attracted 614 submissions, almost all of which were in opposition. A resource consent hearing will be held on June 13. Concerns over the potential effects on groundwater were central to both the city council and ECan recommendations but the city council’s report also suggested the quarries had “overstated” how much the application being approved would help the rebuild. “There is currently adequate supply of aggregate within the district to meet recovery needs

CHALLENGE: The city council and Environment Canterbury are recommending that applications for quarries to be allowed to dig deeper be declined. The quarries include Winstone Aggregates’ Yaldhurst site.

and forecast demand to 2030,” the report stated. “By this time it is envisaged that additional out of zone quarries will presumably have been consented and new supply will come online to meet this demand.” In making their case that more supply was needed, the quarries had cited a 2009 report by Richard English of Twelfth Knight Consulting. However, the city council said Mr English had reviewed this assessment in 2015 and provided more up to date figures. The ECan report stated that

while the risks to public health were very low it was possible that quarrying activities could affect the taste of groundwater for residents connected to nearby bores, making it unpalatable. “As suitable mitigation has not been provided for by the applicant we regard the risks posed by the activity to the local environment as unnecessarily high.”

CPAG spokesman Brian Warren (left) said the quarries would leave a full response to the points raised in the reports to the hearing as the issues were complex. “There is absolutely no question that anything in the proposal either exposes or digs into groundwater, that’s one misconception that has been bandied around a fair bit,” he said.

Quake experiences needed By Emma-Jane McLennan QUAKE claimants’ experiences are being surveyed for a comprehensive report, to help insurers better respond to future disasters. The survey is the only independent one being done and it is essential research, Massey University school of economics and finance senior lecturer Michael Naylor (left) said. “We’ve had interest from all around the world, with people asking what we’ve learnt. Future generations are going to want to learn from our experiences as well. This is important.” The university is currently compiling the data and calling for Cantabrians to complete its survey on quake claim experiences, Dr Naylor said. “We’ve already got more than 1000 responses, but we’d like 5000, 10,000 . . . the next major disaster could well be Christchurch and we want best practice to be in place.”

Bus crash charges laid

DAMAGE: Liquefaction in Bexley after the February 22, 2011, earthquake.

The data collected from the survey will be compiled into a comprehensive report, and given to the likes of quake insurers and EQC. While there has been a lot of responses already, the university needs a more diverse cross-section of homeowners to respond,

Dr Naylor said. “We haven’t got many from the east side commenting, mainly because most of them were renters. We’re also after commercial claims, a real wide range of people.” Dr Naylor also said that it is often the “angry” claimants that

you’re invited

complete the survey. “The only ones you hear about in the media are negative, and the ones coming to us are negative. But we’re also aware that a number of people have had good experiences.” • If you would like to fill out the survey, go to quakesurvey.co.nz

A 68-YEAR-OLD Canterbury man associated with the maintenance of a bus which crashed on Arthur’s Pass on New Year’s Eve has been charged. The bus, carrying a tour party of 31 Chinese tourists, lost control and collided with a car travelling up the Otira Gorge before overturning and sliding into roadside barriers separating it from a ravine below. The man was charged with Injuring by Unlawful Act. Thirteen of the bus passengers suffered serious injuries requiring hospitalisation and surgery, including fractures and internal injuries. The car passengers involved a visiting Swiss family of three, who sustained moderate to serious injuries. Tasman Police District crime manager Detective Inspector Paul Borrell said it was “miraculous” and police were thankful no lives were lost as result of the incident. Everyone injured in the incident has returned to their home countries, police said. The man will appear in the Christchurch District Court on Monday.

‘I set a path for amateurs’ – Barry Heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker will fight in Christchurch in July – the last step in a bid at a world title shot in England. Patrick McKendry looks at what makes his trainer Kevin Barry tick

NEW ZEALAND businessman Bob Jones first connected Kevin Barry with Joseph Parker, but the union was not straightforward. Jones (left), a boxing aficionado and millionaire, wanted Barry to train Parker in Las Vegas before the 2012 Olympics in London. For one reason or another it didn’t happen. Parker then lost the final qualifier and never made it to the United Kingdom. Next it was Dean Lonergan with an offer. “Kev”, the promoter said to his friend on the phone in Las Vegas, “I want to sign this guy as a professional and I want you and only you to train him”. “Okay”, came the uncertain reply. “I thought, ‘I had never met him, I had never met his family’,” Barry told the New Zealand Herald this week. “I’ve got to sell this whole concept to my wife – Dean wants to send this guy over to me to live with us. Dean said: ‘well if it doesn’t work out then I’ll put him up in a hotel’. “I said: ‘look, you bring a young Samoan boy from South Auckland and you put him in a hotel, it’s never going to work, mate’. I said: ‘this whole thing, if it works, I’m going to have to invite him into my family’. Dean said: ‘he’s a lovely guy’.” That conversation happened more than three years ago. It took seven months for the contract to go through. Now 56-year-old Barry and his 24-year-old fighter are standing on the brink of a world title shot and the bond between them looks likely to endure for a long time.

The victory over Carlos Takam at Manukau’s Vodafone Events Centre at the weekend was to have made Parker the mandatory challenger for the IBF world heavyweight title. But he now has to hurdle Australian Solomon Haumono in Christchurch in July. Barry has been alongside Parker for the past 14 of his 18 professional fights. Another thing worming into Barry’s mind as he considered Lonergan’s offer was the fallout from the David Tua affair. Barry, who was very close to Tua and trained him for 12 years, had a massive falling out with him over money following the heavyweight’s world title defeat to Lennox Lewis in 2000. A legal battle ensued and the emotional scars remain for both men. However, after watching Parker train for the first time, and meeting his parents Sala and Dempsey, Barry’s fears were eased. Later they would vanish. “He was very much an amateur, not using his whole body, no leverage from his legs,” Barry said. “I waited for about 15 minutes and gave him a couple of instructions. “What I showed him he adopted straight away. That was massive. I thought: ‘this kid is coachable. He wants to learn’. “I met with his Mum and Dad and they said people had come up to them and said: ‘oh you shouldn’t put Joseph with Kevin Barry, he’s the wrong guy, look what happened with Tua after 12 years’. “The family said: ‘we want what’s best for our son. We want him with you’. “I made a pledge to them at the time that I would become his father figure and would treat

him like I would treat my own children.” The trip to Samoa earlier this year for Parker’s fight against American Jason Bergman, helped Barry shut the door on the Tua controversy. “I had a lot of love in Samoa; a lot of respect from the Prime Minister and elders, and a lot of thanks for what I’m doing with Joseph. “They knew what I did with David for 12 years, with Masalino Masoe [a middleweight world title], a lot of other Samoan fighters.

“There will always be a scar there,” Barry said of the Tua fallout. “When I agreed to come back here and start training Joe, it was very important for me that I put that behind me. “In a sense I had years prior . . . but you spend 12 years with a person and it leaves emotional scars. The fact I was now spending more time in New Zealand that it was even more important for me to completely close that chapter. And I have. “That name very rarely even comes up now. No one even really cares, it’s a long time ago now.” Barry began boxing at eight years old under the care of his father, Kevin senior, who would go on to become a Commonwealth and Olympic Games coach and an amateur boxing identity in Christchurch. His late father remains a huge influence. Barry junior had his first fight at nine years old and once fought three times in one night as a 10-year-old at a Canterbury under-16 championship. He won the first two and lost the final to a 15-year-old. He thrives on boxing and

everything to do with it. During our interview, his phone rings several times – promoter Lonergan has been putting him through media paces like never before, he said – but he picks up his train of thought without hesitation. As a light heavyweight, Barry won all sorts of medals and awards, and became synonymous with Evander Holyfield at the 1984 Olympics at Los Angeles after the American was disqualified for repeatedly hitting after the break, a controversial decision which helped Barry to a silver medal. “I set a path for the amateurs coming behind me and I was very proud of that,” he said. “I boxed for 16 years and it gave me a great start – it built the character and person I am today. “The Holyfield fight at the Olympics . . . I was bitter at the time because I was a proud guy and ended up winning my fourth fight there by disqualification. I was coming second in the fight. But I had never been off my feet in 16 years and he was never going to get me off my feet even though he knocked everyone else out. So he hit me with a cheap shot. “As well as launching Holyfield’s professional career, it opened a lot of doors for me in America back in the late 80s when I started travelling there.” During our interview, Barry receives a call from an old mate in Christchurch, plus Lonergan, and the latter he finishes with a stream of good-natured foulmouthed insults. Parker visits briefly, and leaves again after being told he has a BBC phone interview before training. Once he leaves, Barry said: “Joe is a gifted athlete, a very talented young man who has so much going for him. He’s special. And I feel there is a piece of me in Joe. It’s the coaching that keeps me awake at night, thinking, ‘I’ve got to try this particular combination’. I get up and write things down. The coaching occupies all my spare time.

Claim overworked nurses Bin swap cost a are affecting patient care big surprise By Emma-Jane McLennan SHORT-STAFFED hospital wards are creating overworked and stressed nurses, and it is impacting on patient care. That is the claim being made by New Zealand Nurses Organisation delegate and registered neonatal nurse Cheryl Hanham, who is calling on the Government to invest at least $35 million over what is expected for the Canterbury District Health Board in today’s Budget. “We are always over 100 per cent capacity and working overtime because of short staffing . . . we’re basically in a deficit before we even start,” Ms Hanham (left) said. She said there are often six babies and their families to one nurse in the neonatal unit: “And that’s far too much for one nurse. Best practice guidelines suggest four babies per nurse. I worry about patient safety all the time.” Her call for more funding comes after the Council of Trade Unions and Association of Salaried Medical Specialists released a pre-Budget analysis, saying the Government will need to increase its health budget by at least $691 million. The extra funding is needed to keep pace with population growth, ageing and cost increases, CTU economist Bill Rosenberg said. “Anything less than $691 million should be regarded as a cut in funding and will result in cuts to services.” But Health Minister Jonathan Coleman has rejected talk of a cut, telling the New Zealand Herald the health budget had

STRESSED: Canterbury nurses are under pressure with shortstaffed hospital wards.

increased by $4 billion over the past seven years to a record $15.9 billion. “Look, the CTU have been running those sorts of arguments for a long time, so I am not at all surprised. But the problem is, they are not focusing on results out of the health system, they think the answer to everything is more money.” Ms Hanham says Dr Coleman is out-of-touch with what it’s really like inside hospitals. “If we could get our staff numbers up to full capacity we would be able to do so much more, but we just don’t have the money. I’d like Dr Coleman to come in and work with us, do our shifts for a week. Then he would see the stresses and strains this system is under.” She said in the last week she has often had three texts in a day from the hospital, asking for nurses to take on extra shifts. “I have worked overtime

this whole year, and that is my choice, but really we’re only keeping the hospitals going by all the staff doing so much extra.” CDHB executive director of nursing, Mary Gordon, said ensuring staff well-being and a clinically safe working environment is paramount. “Every day our people continue to put in an extraordinary effort to ensure we collectively respond to the needs of our community . . . clinical leaders continuously review staffing to ensure safe and adequate levels are in place and are matched to clinical need – which can change daily.” She also said the CDHB’s neonatal senior nursing team has had no contact from the NZNO or its delegates, or staff within the unit, regarding the issues Ms Hanham has brought up in the media.

By Emma-Jane McLennan A LANDLADY is complaining about the city council’s rubbish bin swapping charges after she was quoted $91 to get her tenant’s red bin downsized. Suzanne Parsons, a selfproclaimed “serious environmentalist,” wants to downsize her tenant’s red bin so she is forced to sort her rubbish into recycling and green waste. But she said the “excessive” charge is making her think twice. “I mean the city council says they’re trying to encourage recycling, but honestly. I was expecting a $10-15 pick-up fee, not this.” A city council spokeswoman said the charge has been in place since July 2010, and was consulted through the Long Term Council Community Plan process. The charge for swapping one bin is $91, and two bins is $103. This covers the removal and delivery of the bin “as well as the administration costs associated with amending the database.”

City council contractor, Waste Management, organises the bin swaps. But Ms Parsons says she is not allowed to speak to them. “I would’ve been perfectly happy to do the bin swap myself, but the city council says I can’t deal with or even talk directly to the contractor. I should be able to.” She said the issue has come up as her single tenant, in a onebedroom apartment, fills the red bin every week, and won’t bother to sort recycling or green waste. “A one-bedroom flat in this day and age . . . honestly. I’ve got grandkids and I’d be lucky to fill half my red bin every week.”

$78,000 playground gift By Shelley Robinson A DONOR has gifted $78,000 so the Margaret Mahy Playground can be made more disabilityfriendly. Otakaro Ltd, which has taken over some functions from the now defunct Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, said it is unable to release the identity of the donor yet. The Government’s $20m project was criticised when it was opened in December to much fanfare, by SmileDial’s New Zealand chief executive Kelly Dugan, for its lack of accessibility for children with disabilities.

families who have children with an ongoing medical conditions or a disability. Mr Dugan (left) was not aware of the money until The Star informed him, but he was “stoked.” “I’d love to know who it is so I can shake their hand. What an amazing gift this person has made,” he said. An Otakaro spokesman told The Star it hoped to release further details about the donation “soon.” It did not yet have a itemised list of the additional features. Mr Dugan said that he hoped to be consulted alongside other disability lobby groups to ensure the “most bang for the buck.”

Dredging may harm dolphins By Bridget Rutherford PLANS TO dig a deeper channel in Lyttelton Harbour are progressing, but critics are worried about the impact on the environment, including endangered hector’s dolphins. Lyttelton Port of Christchurch wants to deepen the harbour’s navigation channel by 2m to accommodate larger container vessels. It plans to apply for resource consent mid-way through this year. But University of Otago marine animal expert Professor Liz Slooten said the dredging could be disruptive to hector’s dolphins living in and around the harbour. It it estimated there are just over 7270 left. Professor Slooten has been doing research on hector’s dolphins around Banks Peninsula, and said the population was already under threat from fishing. She said dredging the harbour floor could remove marine life fish feed on, ultimately having a flow-on affect to the dolphins, she said. She said Port Otago was also looking to dredge to accommodate larger vessels. “It doesn’t make sense for eve-

ryone to be doing developments, probably paid out of taxpayer money, doing environmental damage when we’re not sure if these ships are coming.” LPC chief executive Peter Davie said it wanted to do the project in order to keep up with international shipping trends to support the regional economy. He said LPC was working with independent experts to understand effects on marine ecologies, marine mammals and

their food sources. MP and Rapaki runanga member Nuk Korako said the runanga wanted the dredged sediment dumped outside the harbour. He said the runanga understood it was a working port, and if they could find a balance, they would be happy. Green List MP Eugenie Sage said LPC needed to consult with the community about its plans before it applied for consent.

“Leaving it just to the formal Resource Management Act processes is not consultation, especially given the short timeframes under the RMA for people to understand and comment on complex proposals.” Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board chairwoman Paula Smith said the dumping of sediment dredged up would be the most contentious issue. She said some people in Sumner and Taylors Mistake had previously been worried that the sediment could travel north with the sea current.

By Emma-Jane McLennan HARRINGTON’S Breweries has come up against commercial beer giants to take third place in an international beer competition in Melbourne. They took the award in the Champion Small International Brewery category. It is a “big win” for the small Christchurch brewery, director Carl Harrington said. “A big American brewery [Moylan’s Brewing Company, California] took out the category. It’s not an outright win but the New Zealand craft breweries are heading in the right direction.” The award was given at the Australian International Beer Awards, the largest annual beer competition in the world. The placing was clinched thanks to the success of some new additions to Harrington’s range, as well as recipe changes to some old ones. The family-owned brewery is celebrating 25 years in July, with its original Phillipstown brewery going strong and a new automated bottling line set to be installed at its Wigram site.

Viewpoint Readers have their say after plans to put seven godwit sculptures in South New Brighton were put on hold. City council staff said the proposed site is classified as a “noman’s land” that doesn’t belong to anyone. Lyn Willyams – An unbelievably stupid response from the city council. If it is no-man’s land it belongs to everyone and that’s where the sculptures should be placed. The concept drawing looked beautiful. Wake up council. We need some beauty in the east. It must be so frustrating for all those folk who come up with great ideas and are then told it’s not possible, especially when it obviously is.

Wayne Hawker – It is totally unbelievable that the city council condemns the erection of the godwit sculptures on the southeastern entrance of the Bridge St bridge. Reasoning that the land does not belong to anyone. What a great opportunity to construct an interesting and very appropriate piece of artwork on a piece of land that nobody owns. No doubt the city council maintains the land on either side of the approaches to the bridge – who else would? Given that, then why not use the land and maybe the artwork would become a tourist destination. After all the city council are looking for draw cards to revitalise New Brighton.

St Martins resident Leith McMurray writes about the impending demolition of the 152-year-old Enfield Villa in Burke St, Addington, which is to be replaced by a block of flats. I knew the Enfield Villa many years ago when Pat Allen bought it in a derelict state and restored it beautifully. The only new piece then was a bathroom built in the style of the rest of the house. I had a 1910 villa further down the street and Pat helped me with mine as well. Unfortunately, after I sold it (having restored it), it was demolished and a walkway laid through the property. The Enfield Villa is such a gem and one of the earliest houses remaining in Christchurch. I’m appalled that Heritage New Zealand poured scorn on it. It has a very large section and could easily fit a block of flats as well. Pat laid the brick drive herself, digging it out to a depth of nine inches and making several trips to Glentunnel to bring back bricks. She and her friend Murray took down several trees which had overgrown the house and blocked the light. Many hundreds of woman (and man) hours went into that

wee house. Perhaps it could have been sent to Ferrymead? Some years ago I tried to interest Diana, Lady Isaacs in acquiring it for her little village, but I suspect she was in declining health at the time and that never happened. It should be preserved as an example of old Addington. Hoon Hay resident Gary Knight writes: As the controversy relating to heritage buildings evolves as a platform of debate and forum of opinion, there are structures worthy of repair and restoration. Seismic strengthening of Tai Tapu’s Otahuna Lodge in 2011 and earthquake proofing of Diamond Harbour’s Godley House in 2012 bears testimony

to the importance of both of these venues. There exists, however, Enfield Villa in Addington, also worthy of sustaining. Having been through three owners since 1862 and having undergone medium to large preservation modifications would surely deem this villa worth of saving, due to its heritage. Preservation of Enfield Villa while building additional rental facilities and presentation of the villa as a historic showpiece, with a nominal visitor fee, would surely be of monetary benefit to the close knit community of Addington, as opposed to demolition of this iconic structure, having been one of Addington’s first homes, for placement of yet another concrete jungle of apartment blocks.

Strong job growth in Canterbury, survey shows EARLIER THIS month I joined Prime Minister John Key in visiting some of the innovative projects helping to shape our city. With all the work taking place, job growth in Canterbury is particularly strong. The latest Household Labour Force Survey shows an unemployment rate of just 3 per cent in Canterbury in the March quarter of this year. It’s important this growth spreads to all Cantabrians, and that’s why the Government and the region are working to develop the long-term infrastructure that will sustain and grow the

region into the future. Project 300 led by Minister Nicky Wagner, which aimed to get 300 disabled people in Canterbury into work, has seen great results with over 600 people get full or part time jobs, or into study. The Government has also recently announced a two-year extension to the Canterbury Skills and Employment hub, which matches job seekers with employers, helping employers in the region meet their skills needs. While some projects have reached completion, the work

elsewhere continues. Christchurch is equipping itself to take advantage of tourism growth. In recent months, the refurbished Sudima Hotel has opened and the $20 million Christchurch Adventure Park is set to be a strong magnet for tourists as well as local visitors. It includes a chairlift, mountain bike trails, a mountain coaster and a zip line. It has been great to see buildings like the BNZ Centre, the Lane Neave building and Environment Canterbury’s new offices opened, and it is just as exciting that new businesses

well as being visually appealing, this will help people travel around the city and link with the new $53 million Bus Interchange. The new modern Christchurch is coming together and I look forward to seeing further progress as the year continues.

The Big Question

Email us your views on anything Christchurch editor@starmedia.kiwi or comment on facebook.com/riseupchristchurch/

The Budget will be revealed today which will shape New Zealand for another year. We asked Christchurch residents what areas they would like to see prioritised in Government spending

Bernadette Brown, 73, retired, St Albans: “Welfare for children would be my biggest priority for the Budget, and a lot of that is to do with good housing. Having overcrowded houses can cause problems and there are related health issues with overcrowding as well. I think they need to spend money a bit more wisely, it seems to be wasted on things like flag referendums and what have you.”

Edward Green, 82, retired, Hoon Hay: “Schools, health and houses would be my top priorities. There also needs to be more funds towards supplementing pensions and providing home help. On the pension you really don’t have much to live on.”

Sophie Booker, 19, student, Ilam: “I definitely would say health needs to be at the top of the list. Recent budget cuts for mental health funding in Christchurch, especially considering the earthquakes and all of our stats rising, means that mental health is a huge problem and something they need to look at. I need to know I can get help if I need it.”

Kim Macfarlane, 58, currently on a sickness benefit, Woolston: “Health definitely needs to be prioritised. I suppose I know because I’ve been through the health system so I know all about long waiting lists. Health for children should also definitely be up there, and housing too.”

William Tebbutt, 18, student, Lyttelton: “More money should definitely be put into jobs and getting more people employed. They were talking about raising the minimum wage as well I guess, which is a good thing, and more money should be put into health.”

Nandakishore Kantamaneni, 30, production assistant, central city: “Jobs should be a big focus, I am an immigrant and it is really hard to find information and help to get into good jobs.”

Paul Robinson, 71, retired, Woolston: “Obviously health should be a big thing. I’ve had health problems and I believe this is the priority for most people, as well as housing. I’d like to see them focusing on getting young people into their first homes, and also looking at child poverty and preventing violence against children.”

Peter Mullany, 48, security guard, St Albans: “There needs to be more spent on health. I end up in hospital more at this time of year and they’re underresourced. There also needs to be more housing for people like me because I’m renting and its really hard to buy a house.”

Capturing the experiences of people on the street FOR THOSE of us who have lived through the last five years, its often hard to explain to people outside of Christchurch how drastic the changes for our city have been. Statistics will get us some of the way – the thousands of homes that have had to be rebuilt, the billions of dollars that are being spent on the recovery, the thousands of people who have left the city for good. What these numbers don’t capture though is what it’s been like to live through all this change. What it’s been like for people who have seen the neigh-

bourhoods they lived in totally transformed. What it’s been like to watch friends and neighbours leave the city forever or to fight tooth and money with EQC for money you know you are owed. That’s why I’m so impressed with the work that’s gone into John Patterson’s ‘The story of a small street’ project. Hosted on the Rebuild Christchurch website, the project is a grass roots survey to capture the experiences of the people on one street and what’s happened to them since the earthquakes. The results of the survey are confronting. Of the 63 houses on

Megan Woods a single street, 16 needed to be rebuilt, 17 needed to be repaired, 15 have been sold ‘as-is, whereis’ and four households are still waiting to be repaired, having had no work done since the earthquakes. One very sad thing noted by the project is that of the 63 houses on the street, seven of

them had elderly occupants who died while still battling EQC or their insurers. Others have had to have repairs redone because of shoddy workmanship, and some have even had to have their rerepairs re-repaired. What I find so admirable about this project is the way it perfectly captures the very personal expe-

riences so many people in our city have been through. Hearing the story of one street drives home just how drastic the changes we have all lived through have been. It shows clearly how much delay and frustration has been caused by problems at EQC. It shows us where we have been, where we need to get to, and what we need to do better. It’s exactly the kind of grass roots project I’d love to see more of in the future, to make sure that the story of people who lived through the earthquakes isn’t lost.

Battling family’s health woes KICKING THE colds With this unusual, yet welcome, warm autumnal weather, our luck of having a relatively healthy and sick-free summer had been extended. However, with the subsidence of the balmy days and high temperatures, so too has the tide of good health in our family. Last week, one of the twins woke up with a barking cough, blocked nose and rosy cheeks. Within two days, all six of us had it one form or another – some worse than others, but everyone had a dose of a little something to slow them down. Coughing, sneezing, sore throat and pounding head – and that was just me. It’s hard enough having to deal with sub-par kids, but when both myself and my hubby also feel under the weather, it’s essential to up the “get-better” ante so to avoid a complete crash and burn. I delved into the top cupboard and pulled out our medicine box to figure out what we had, and what was needed. A trip to the shops soon updated our stock and we were a family complete with nasal sprays, decongestants, paracetamol, vitamins and tonics. I was ready for the battle ahead. In a bid to get on a quick track to good health, I myself embarked on a religious regime of vitamin C, fresh lemon and honey drinks and a good dose of Vicks Vaporub on my back, chest and feet. Placebo effect or otherwise, it provided me with the psychological edge to feel stronger and more able to support my sick troops. This ritual especially

Melissa McDonnell

takes me back to my childhood when my parents would slather us with this old-school salve (complete with a big dollop under/ into the nostrils), administer a spoonful of some ghastly potion, and send us to bed in flannelettes and with hot water bottles. And so it passes (sort of) to my own children. I used Vicks, Vitamin C chewables (otherwise known as their “sours”), plenty of water, fresh fruit and veges, and the addition of an organic herbal product created especially for children by a New Zealand company called Kiwi Herb. Beyond the medicinals, I was conscious to let their wee bodies rest. We skipped after school activities to stay at home, relax and channel their energies into fighting off the bugs. Ten days on, and it feels

like we are on the other side. These concoctions have so far proved adequate to keep the coughs and colds from progressing further, noses are drier, energy is returning, and the medicine box is no longer a constant on our bench. Yet, I know this is just the beginning of winter and there is the potential for so much more to come. With six of us in the house, and each of us exposed to different new germs each day, one of us is bound to bring fresh bugs back to the rest. Until then however, I will enjoy this refreshing bout of (almost) good health and keep all appendages crossed for it to continue. Meanwhile, my annual internal debate has been ignited: flu vaccinations . . . to jab, or not to jab?

Oamaru’s Steampunk NZ Festival is on again at Queen’s Birthday weekend with a rich range of entertainment, talent, and art. Steampunks from around New Zealand, and some from overseas, gather for an annual event which has found its ideal centre in Oamaru, with its historic precinct. The festival is a celebration of the art and creativity of Steampunk – a genre so wide that it is hard to define. “It is about how Victorians viewed the future – a world of time machines, steam power, and mysterious creatures,” said festival organiser Helen Jansen. “But most of all it is about invention, adventure, and discovery.” For most people, the festival begins with the Oamaru Fire and Steam Festival in the streets and venues of the historic precinct on the night of Friday June 3, with markets, performances and usually flaming braziers to ward off the nocturnal chills. People can move on from there to an evening of Vaudeville at the Loan and Merc venue in Harbour Street from 9pm. The show, compered by entertainer, singer, and comedian Jackie Clarke, will include performances by members of the Steampunk community itself and it has been rated R-18. Saturday June 4 sees a writers’ workshop where participants are encouraged to turn up with their laptops, if possible, or just pen and paper, so that a small collection of Steampunk writing can be brought together and distributed during the festival. Other Saturday activities are the tea-duelling (a biscuit dunking contest), a voice-reading workshop, and the Splendid Teapot Racing World Championship event in which has radiocontrolled vehicles fitted out with teapots racing around an obstacle course. Airship races are also planned, after the Victorian Imagineers Mess Dinner in the evening. A computer link-up on Sunday June 5 presents insights into Steampunk Around the World and in the afternoon, the famous Steampunk Fashion Show will be held at the Oamaru Club. This is followed in the evening by the climax of the weekend’s events, the Steampunk Gala Ball with

a live swing band, dancing, sumptuous supper, and revellers in costumes from another era – or perhaps an era that never quite happened. A festival highlight is always the fashion show where entrants must come up with a Steampunk-themed story about the character and the costume they are wearing. The stories have ranged from dragon-lore and werewolves to post-apocalyptic scavengers, and time-travelling bounty hunters. “That’s the thing about Steampunk,” said Helen Jansen. “It’s about possibilities rather than limits.” Steampunk markets will be running both days at the Loan and Merc, where people can buy artwork, or put together a costume. Exhibitions including the Steampunk HQ and the Gadgetorium will be going on throughout the weekend. The Steampunk NZ Festival is running in Oamaru from June 2 to 6. Detailed information about the events and booking links can be found on the www.steampunknz.co.nz website.

Sizzle in sunshine at Palm Springs By Mike Yardley STEEPED IN showbiz heritage, feted for its modernist architecture and famed for its indie-music festival, Coachella, I recently had a fling with the sizzling desert retreat of Palm Springs. One hundred and sixty kilometres east of the City of Angels and being a desert climate, by day, it’s generally a few degrees warmer than Los Angeles, although it can also be starkly chillier overnight. Being a Christchurch boy, and without wishing to tempt fate, curiosity got the better of me, so I made a date with the San Andreas fault line. It’s Southern California’s biggest ticking time-bomb, increasingly overdue to rupture. Visit the Coachella Valley Preserve and the signposting will guide you to the San Andreas Fault, where you can straddle the North American and Pacific Plates, marked by vertical rock uplift and slot canyons. Palm Springs is dramatically backdropped by the chiselled peaks of the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains. The best way to get a sense of the wildly contrasting terrain

Left: The aerial tramway on Mount San Jacinto. Above: Elvis Presley’s honeymoon hideaway in Palm Springs.

is to jump on-board the aerial tramway, allegedly the world’s largest rotating cable car, which zips you up Mount San Jacinto. Alighting from the cable car, the mountain peaks and surrounding pine forests are often dappled in snow, while the sprawling wilderness is invitingly laced with scenic hiking trails. Fifty years ago, nearly every major American entertainer owned a home in Palm Springs, transforming it into a buzzing winter playground for Hollywood royalty. In more recent years, the region has often been

derided as God’s waiting room for moneyed retirees. But Palm Springs is absolutely back in vogue, with a whole new generation falling in love with its trademark mid-century architecture. I previously had no affinity for modernism, but I was soon slayed by the glamtastic, Jetsonian designs in Palm Springs. Modernism is to Palm Springs what art deco is to Miami Beach. Liberace’s Spanish-style casa in Belardo Rd is still adorned with his trademark “L” symbol, while Twin Palms in Alejo Rd,

the Sinatra House, is where Ol’ Blue Eyes lived and fought with Ava Gardner. You can arrange a private tour of the house. Another superb mid-century gem is the King’s Love Nest, Elvis Presley’s honeymoon hideaway. Located in the leafy cul-de-sac of Ladera Circle, and officially known as the Alexander Estate, this mid-century modern classic with its sprawling butterfly roof was built in 1962. The house has been authentically restored and you can book a walkthrough. www. elvishoneymoon.com

Our People

Madeleine Martin

Revolutionising joint replacements When Madeleine Martin isn’t working to 3D print new bones for specialist patients, she spends her time adventure racing, travelling and working with disabled skiers. She speaks to EmmaJane McLennan about her twin sister and the time she followed in Marco Polo’s footsteps along the Silk Road Madeleine, you work in a very interesting area – could you tell me about it? Yes, I work at Ossis, which is an orthopaedic designer and manufacturer. Basically we work at the really complex end of cases, where people need new solutions because of their unusual anatomy, multiple hip replacements or the like. We scan their bones and then custom make replacements using 3D metal printing, called Electron Beam Melting or EBM. It’s quite different to, say, plastic 3D printing because of the structure – we can actually create a porous structure which the bones can grow into. Wow, how long has this been around for? The technique has been

around since 2007, and because it is relatively new we actually manufacture in the United States because they’ve got the right standards. We sell all around New Zealand and Australia and are the leader in the Australasian market. This is a highly specialist industry, how did you get into it? Well I’ve got a mechanical engineer father and a physio mother, so I think I’ve probably got my Dad’s technical side. Then through sport, and with mum and my twin sister Charlotte working as physios,

I’ve combined both. I originally did my mechanical engineering and commerce degrees at Canterbury University, then I worked in product development at Fisher & Paykel for five years. But I always knew I wanted to work in the medical profession, so when this

opportunity came up at one of the only high-growth companies of its kind in New Zealand, I took it. That was two and a half years

ago now and its still just amazing seeing these people come in and be quite wowed by the team and what we can do for them. Good on you! Now I hear you’re pretty busy outside of work as well – you’re a skier right? Yes skiing is a big passion for me. Actually about four years ago we went on a big ski trip, my partner and I and some friends – probably about 10 of us. We followed in Marco Polo’s footsteps along the Silk Road, we started in Beijing, right up through Asia and ended up in Venice in summertime, which felt pretty weird. It was always a bit of a dream to do that really, to combine skiing and travelling and see lots of exotic new places. It was interesting how people in each place saw our skiing as well, in some places it was really just a mode of transport so they thought us a bit silly for doing it for fun.

by building better bones Wow! Any interesting stories from the trip? One part of the Silk Road trip that really stood out was our stay in Arslenbob, Krygsztan. Arslenbob survived on having the largest walnut forest in the world, but in winter that meant there was 90 per cent unemployment. A local man, Hyatt, campaigned community based tourism and set us up to stay in the village with the locals and ski through the walnut forest each day with Hyatt who had taught himself to ski from watching it on TV. Wow, what a trip! And you volunteer helping disabled people ski? Yes, my twin sister and I have been quite involved in disabled skiing. It’s really nice to see people who are really struggling with a disability just forget that when they’re skiing – like they’re just any other person. A lot of them might use sit-skis or be assisted in some other way, so it really just levels the playing field. It’s so good to see patients come who might have quite a debilitated quality of life restore that through skiing. And you’re involved in adventure racing too?

DETERMINATION: Madeleine Martin competing in the Coast to Coast in February. Yes, I just did the Coast to Coast again this year, I came fifth in the women’s section so I guess that’s alright. I tried not to take it too seriously. I’ve done it before, the first time I did it was 10 years ago when I completed it together with my twin sister. We were the first twins to complete the Coast to Coast together actually. And you followed that up with the GODZone Adventure Race?

Yes, that was soon after the Coast to Coast, and it was a huge mental challenge. We finished the course in six days, which was around mid-field, but we decided right at the start we were going to get some proper sleep so we actually finished the race feeling okay and still getting on well as a team. We finished behind Richie McCaw’s team by about a day I think, but they hardly slept. Those are some pretty intense events, how do you fit training around full-time work? I don’t know, you just do it really. It’s always hard to find balance but I think it’s really important to keep your hobbies up outside of work. So have you always lived in Christchurch? I was born in Christchurch, I grew up here and studied here before moving to Auckland for five years to work with Fisher & Paykel. So apart from that, and an exchange to the United Kingdom during my engineering degree, yes I have always lived here. My partner, Blair, and I love it here. It’s great just being able to have the lifestyle and its conducive to fitting in the likes of my training.

TWINS: Madeleine and Charlotte Martin.

Would you tell me a bit about your family? Yes, well my partner is commuting between here and Auckland at the moment, and we don’t have any kids at this stage but I’ve got enough little nieces – three of them – to keep me busy [laughing]. I’m also one of five children. Charlotte and I are the second-eldest in our family. They’re all thinking about doing the Coast to Coast next year actually, I might just support-crew for once though [laughing]. You say you love Christch-

urch, so what are your favourite places to go here? My partner and I have a dinner club we like to go to with friends, where we try new places as they pop up around the city. The last one we went to was The Laboratory in Lincoln, and I always like to go back to The Monday Room as I really enjoy the food there. What would you say to people wanting to follow their passions? I just take every opportunity I’m given really. They’re all challenges but I enjoy it.

secrets behind his food is part of what he loves. His food is immaculately presented, like art on a plate, using skills he learned after almost 40 years cooking across New Zealand, Asia and Europe. But it was still good, honest food, he said. “Everything on the plate has to be edible, no prissy garnishes or anything like that. And the secret to good, honest food was in the details, he said. From the herbs growing in the gardens right outside the kitchen to the bread freshly made in the mornings, or the hams they cured for more than a year to get the flavours right. Sharing that with his guests might mean inviting them along to select mushrooms for dinner that night, or in to the kitchen for a private lesson on how it was prepared. “It can be pretty frenetic, so you’ve got to be organised, but generally we get good at it. And because the menu changes every day it’s like cooking out of a big magic box.” His first role in the kitchen was at about 11 years old, when he worked for his stepfather in the holidays washing dishes to earn pocket money. He spent his early years working for chefs at hotels and restaurants around Auckland. In his 30s, he worked around the world, travelling Asia and then working on a riverboat in Germany and Portugal. He returned to New Zealand to take a job at Christchurch restaurant Phloyds, which he said was awarded Restaurant of the Year after four months. He went on to work at several restaurants, including Espresso 124, which was where he met his wife, Philippa, who is also a chef. He said they met when they were both guest chefs at the Sign of the Takahe, but he didn’t think anything of it at the time. “But she tracked me down at work a few months later and came into lunch at work with some friends. She rang me up just before service and said would you like to get a drink after work and I said yeah, sure. And we’ve been together ever since.” He took on the role at Otahuna 13 years ago, and was there throughout the earthquakes, when it had to be closed twice for repairs. But although many chefs around the city lost their jobs, he said the owners of the lodge made the decision to keep all the staff on. Over the four months the lodge was closed, the team kept busy feeding the army of workers repairing the place, he said.

in cold water, drain and shake dry in a tea towel. Chop the mint leaves and toss with the cabbage, then add the nuts. To make the dressing, put the ricotta in a bowl with the salt and ginger, then whisk in the oil. Mix the dressing through the salad. Serve very cold, straight from the fridge.

Directions Make a bed of baby leeks in a baking dish. Thinly slice a few lemons and sit these on the leeks. Cut up the cod into chunky, bitesized pieces and arrange these on the leek and lemon base. Add a bit of white wine and oil, salt and pepper and a few slices of red chili (de-seeded for a less searing heat). Seal the dish with tin foil and bake it in a hot oven for 10 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool, leaving the foil on. Put the poaching liquid into a pan and reduce it until it has a sauce-like consistency, then allow to cool. To serve, spread around a few crunchy salad leaves on a platter then use a slotted spoon to pile up the fish bits, lemon slices and leek strips. Pour the cooled poaching liquid over the fish and dot with a little chilli sauce.

Gardening Gardening Advice with Q

Pruning Roses

Usually I prune my roses towards the end of June, but at the moment with the seasons changing and the fact that they are still flowering, when is the best time to prune and do you have any other advice on treatment during the colder months?

Congratulations! Today’s winning question came from Grace Irwin.

It is imperative that you delay pruning your roses until they have become completely dormant; ie: leaves no longer present on the plant. Pruning any earlier with the very mild autumn we are experiencing may result in new growth appearing which will then suffer when the cold weather eventually arrives. Pruning roses may well now be a July task. You should still apply winter clean up applications of a copper compound at any time during the next few months however, regardless of whether there are leaves on the rose bushes or not. When you do prune, ensure you remove any dead or diseased wood, and prune out all inward growing branches and shorten all other branches back by at least half or more. (Note: this is dependent on variety). Prune to outward facing buds and always make clean cuts with no straggly ends. One week after pruning, spray with Lime Sulphur and/or a copper compound such as Copper Oxychloride to ward off fungal diseases (do not mix these sprays together). Then, 3 or 4 days later, apply a horticultural spray to kill off any overwintering pests (again do not mix with copper). Products to try: Daltons Premium Rose & Flower Fertiliser, Daltons Premium Rose Bed Mix.

Keep veges growing to protect beds Although the weather has cooled, there are still a few tasks to be done in the garden this month. Here are some tips to get you started. • Vege gardens – The winter vege garden should be well established by now and most of your seedlings should already be planted. Continue to sow broad beans and transplant seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and silverbeet for a continuous supply over winter. Sow green manure crops such as lupin and mustard in the parts of the vege garden that will be empty during the winter months. This will add nutrients into the soil and protect beds over winter. • Strawberries – It’s the traditional time of the year for final preparation and planting of strawberry plants. Areas to be planted should be mounded 80-100cm above existing ground level. Incorporate large amounts of compost into the strawberry bed. New plants or offsets from last year’s plants should be planted 15-20cm apart. • Fruit trees – Pip and stone fruit will have shed their leaves and pruning can now begin. We do this as early possible with pip and stone fruit to avoid the infection of silver leaf. Remove all weak and inward growing branches and reduce the height of trees to allow for easy picking and maintenance. After pruning, spray with a copper compound to help prevent any re-infection of fungal diseases. • Hedges – It’s an ideal time for a final tidy up and hedge trims. But remem-

Fruit tree pruning can now begin.

ber, there will be no new growth until spring, so final trims should not be too vigorous so the plants don’t stay bare looking. • Roses – It is possibly a little too early for pruning, and it does depend largely on the weather. In the meantime, apply a copper spray to prevent infection of fungal diseases in spring. Remove all dead leaves around the base of the rose bushes and apply compost as both a soil conditioner and mulch. • Lawns – Grass growth has now ceased due to the cooler weather. It is an excellent time to level lawns with a roller as the moist soil makes levelling quite easily. • Paths and walkways – Paths around the house

and through the garden can become very slippery during the winter months; water blasting can quickly remedy this problem. In winter months, we mainly utilise paths especially when there are boggy parts in the garden or lawn. For this reason, you may wish to consider additional paths to provide easier access. • Container gardens – Brighten up decks and entrances with containers full of blooming winter annuals such as cinerarias, pansies, primulas, snapdragons and violas. Finally, check local garden centres for newly arrived winter stock of trees and shrubs as May/ June is a very safe time for planting.

GARDENING GUIDE Camellias Camellias are wonderfully versatile. They can be grown as a specimen tree, a hedge, a standard, or as a groundcover; they can also be espaliered against a wall or fence, grown as a container plant as well as making a successful bonsai specimen. They also work well as fillers under large deciduous trees or as a background plant to provide a glossy green foil for summer flowering plants.

Fertiliser Camellias are acid loving plants and don’t like to be over fed. Use any good acid fertiliser when planting, adding sheep pellets also to give them a boost. Yellowing leaves is often due to a magnesium deficiency; in this case you should apply Epsom Salts or Sequestron Plant Tonic.

Designer going the extra mile

By Emma-Jane McLennan WHEN EMMA Glasson was looking for a name for her label, she decided to go with something that meant a lot to her – Olessya. On the surface, it goes perfectly with the classic, romantic aesthetic of the brand – but for the designer, it is the Russian version of her name and a reminder of her past. “I was actually born in Russia, then adopted and brought up in New Zealand. When I was 16 I found out that my birth mother was a seamstress – which was crazy. Perhaps that’s where I’ve got my artistic tendencies from,” she said. Miss Glasson’s past is woven intrinsically into her clothing. As a small child she “always knew” she wanted to be a fashion designer. “When I was as young as seven or eight I was already making clothes and things. I would sew or even staple fabrics together to make garments for my teddies,” she said. As a child, she saw the industry as glamorous. Remembering, she laughs: “Now I know that its really hard work.

nitely late nights and times when you have no life, but I love it.” Miss Glasson studied fashion at Massey University, but translating that into work was difficult, she said. “I was working as a bartender, which is obviously not what I

wanted to do.” Her friend, Zara, was in the same boat. So they put their heads together and decided “this was it,” she said. “We thought, ‘why not start our own labels?’ It was very motivating to have a friend going through the same things, with

us both getting into the fashion world at the same time.” Miss Glasson took the leap and launched her brand in March last year. She works out of a home studio, and stocks stores such as The Collective, at the Colombo. Most of her clothing is ready-

to-wear, but she does take a lot of custom orders – such as a wedding dress she is currently sewing. She says it is “all about” going the extra mile. “It’s just little things, like I had a customer buy a dress a few weeks ago and she wanted it taken in a little – I did it for her free because it was over a certain price point and then delivered it to her home.” Her customer base is steadily growing, she’s learning about what women want to wear and growing her business smarts, she said. “It’s all about baby steps. People think I’m too young and naive sometimes – I’m 24 – but you’ve just got to go for it no matter what they think.”

Why Am I? – 40-year focus on us

IN 1972, a University of Otago Medical School study started following the lives of every baby born in Dunedin for a year, and has continued to follow them for the rest of their lives. They are, according to an ambitious, four-part documentary series available now on TVNZ OnDemand and starting on TV One next Tuesday, “the 1000 most studied people in the world”. In the 40 years since the Dunedin Longitudinal Study began, it has been responsible for “ on average “ a new scientific paper or journal article every 13 days. The 1500-plus papers have uncovered an “avalanche of information”, which episode one of Why Am I? “ the first TV series made about the study “ boldly attempts to wrangle. Dunedin’s children are regarded as an accurate predictor of life in any westernised nation, and the study’s findings are used by governmental policy-makers around the world. The documentary, while made in New Zealand, has this international audience firmly in mind. Dunedin is described unsentimentally as “a small city

A great deal of care has been taken in scripting the documentary so that it never gets lost in a dull swirl of talking heads. Ferguson’s narration is smart but accessible, a rare treat for those who hold up the likes of David Attenborough as the

benchmark for quality intelligent television. Why Am I? is on that same level; it feels sort of like a macro-level companion to the famous 7 Up documentary series. Much of the talking is given over to various professors, both from Otago and overseas.

By age 34, well-adjusted (40 per cent), confident (28 per cent) and reserved (15 per cent) children were more likely to be happily married with friends, careers, and better health than those identified as undercontrolled (10 per cent) or inhibited (7 per cent). The study is strictly confidential, so none of the individual participants appear in the documentary. Instead, examples are found both locally and around the world. Travelling interviewer Sean Hogan went to prisons, institutions and hospitals around the world during the last phase of research. He recalls one participant, who has spent most of his life in prison, saying about the study: “I haven’t done very much in my life, but I’ve done this.” – New Zealand Herald •Why Am I?

Tribute to Stevie Wonder

Ghost stories at Ferrymead

By Georgia O’Connor-Harding NATALIYA Orshchuk has always enjoyed the feeling of being both horrified and exhilarated. Now her independent theatre company will be presenting their third season of Victorian and Edwardian ghost stories at Ferrymead Heritage Park. Weird Tales of Midwinter will take audiences on a pre-show ghost walk around the park before launching into two ghost tales – Carmilla and The Sandman written by Orshchuk. The show will star well-known city performers Michael Adams and David Allen. Growing up, Orshchuk had an interest in Gothic English stories. "I think it is called the sensation of sweet horror. As a child, you want to listen to scary stories because they scare and excite you," she said. The idea to tell ghost stories at Ferrymead Heritage Park first formed while Orshchuk was visiting the park on a quiet day. "I think any ghost story you tell in the dark with a lantern in your hand at Ferrymead Heritage Park on a winter night is going

to appear as if it really happened there," she said. Born in the Ukraine, Orshchuk moved to Christchurch 14 years ago to escape the difficult social

and political situation brewing in her country. She initially taught Russian language at Canterbury University and is now a learning adviser

at Ara Institute of Canterbury. In 2012, Orshchuk set up NO Productions Theatre Collective with an aim to bring together local actors, musicians and directors to create site-specific shows. She said staying in the city post-earthquake was not easy and had a large impact on her independent theatre group. Yet since setting up her theatre company, Orshchuk has enjoyed great success. Orshchuk described the theatre's last production Turn of the Screw, based on the Gothic ghost story by Henry James, as her highest achievement as an actress. "We are taking this show on a tour. We are going to perform it again during Victorian Heritage week in Oamaru in November." Orshchuk said the fact her company will be running a third season of ghost stories confirms people love mystery and romance associated with the early 20th-century where the stories are set. •Weird Tales of Midwinter will run from June 16 to June 19.

The festival began yesterday and will run until Sunday. With a full horn and rhythm section, Ms Taylor (left) and her band will be highlighting some of Wonder’s famous tracks. “It’s basically a pull together of all the tutors at jazz school, which is awesome . . . so this band is a special kind of mix of us all playing together,” she said. While working with New Zealand jazz singer L.A Mitchell, Ms Taylor had the opportunity to open as a backing vocalist for Stevie Wonder.

Vatuvei expected to be available for Broncos clash WARRIORS WING Manu Vatuvei is expected to be available to make his longawaited playing return in next week’s NRL match against the Brisbane Broncos at Mt Smart Stadium. Warriors managing director Jim Doyle denied reports Vatuvei, who is contracted through until the end of 2018, has been shopped around to English Super League clubs and Japanese rugby sides and expects he will be available for NRL selection

following this week’s bye round. “No, we are not shopping him around,” said Doyle. “His recovery is on the right track.” He had a personal family issue that set him back but he was heading in the right direction. “I would think he would be good to play and available for selection following the bye.” Vatuvei has not played for three weeks after he was dropped to reserve grade and stood down from Kiwis test selection for his

involvement in the prescription pills and energy drinks scandal following the Warriors embarrassing 42-0 Anzac Day defeat to Melbourne Storm. The 30-year-old, 11-year NRL veteran served his penance in the second-tier Intrust Super Premiership match against the Canterbury Bulldogs on May 1, but the following day was granted a week’s medical leave to deal with personal issues after reacting angrily to criticism via social media.

He returned to Warriors training on May 9 but was not available for selection for the round 10 defeat to Penrith in Christchurch as he continued to work through his recovery. Coach Andrew McFadden last week said Vatuvei was close to making a playing comeback but ongoing personal issues including a family bereavement ruled him out of contention for Saturday’s 38-12 thrashing against Canberra.

also denied his client was looking to leave the Warriors and insisted reports to the contrary were false. “I can categorically deny that we are shopping him around,” said Brown. “He’s had a difficult few weeks and has just been dealing with that stuff and trying to get himself right to play.” When asked if he expected Vatuvei to play for the Warriors again, Brown said: “Of course. One hundred per cent.”

class emerges By Gregor Paul RUGBY’S new rich class will be those players who have never quite made the All Blacks. It is older players who either never made test football or who had a brief taste of it who are going to be the big winners in the collective contract agreement soon to be unveiled. Players such as Crusader Ryan Crotty (right), James Parsons and Hika Elliot, who are most vulnerable to overseas offers, are the sort of men New Zealand Rugby is desperate to keep. These older players, who have either been part of the All Blacks or close to, bring the knowledge and professionalism that is critical in Super Rugby teams where the average age of squad members in New Zealand is 25. The vulnerability of this older group was illustrated last week when long-serving Crusader Andy Ellis announced he will leave for Japan next year and fellow former All Black, Cory Jane, is likely to head to Asia. Jane and Ellis bring a depth of knowledge and skills to Super Rugby that are vital in not only guiding the younger generation, but also give their teams trusted decisionmaking and accuracy on the field. But typically, New Zealand Rugby player services manager Chris Lendrum, estimates that older, experienced players in New Zealand can earn double offshore. Someone with five years’ experience in Super Rugby and a handful of All Blacks caps can earn around $250,000 a season playing here. If they headed offshore, they would most likely be earning a similar figure – but in pounds or euros. Japan, too, is an increasingly lucrative market for players

with a bit of long service. There have been a handful of cases in recent seasons which have fallen well outside the norm to demonstrate how in demand experienced New Zealand players are. Colin Slade, Tom Taylor and Charles Piutau all received offers that were significantly more than double that on offer in New Zealand. New Zealand Rugby wanted to keep all three but they couldn’t get near the offers that came out of Europe. Slade was reportedly offered $750,000 a season to join Pau, Taylor $600,000 to end up at Toulon and Piutau around $1 million a season to join Ulster. These sorts of offers are not as uncommon as New Zealand Rugby would like and chief executive Steve Tew warns that the egos of French club owners, in particular, make it is likely that these sorts of numbers will be seen again for other senior players.

Negotiations are ongoing between NZR and the New Zealand Rugby Players’ Association to finalise the latest collective agreement. Although both parties are sworn to secrecy over the detail, Lendrum has made clear that the key priority will be to better protect senior peripheral All Blacks from leaving. The broadcast deal is believed to be worth around $350 million over five years – a 100 per cent lift on the agreement that expired in 2015. The players directly benefit from this increase, with about 37 per cent of that money paying their salaries. In addition to earning higher basic rates of pay, it is thought that a pot of money will be put aside to incentivise older players to stay. For instance, it may be a massive bonus payment kicks in if they stay in New Zealand for a certain number of years. - New Zealand Herald.

Highlanders concentrate on defence HIGHLANDERS assistant coach Scott McLeod has still not signed to return to the franchise next year but says he is “pretty interested’’ in staying in the south. However, McLeod has not yet put pen to paper to remain as the assistant coach for the team as rumours swirl over whether he will be following head coach Jamie Joseph to Japan. Ever since word spread late last year that Joseph was heading to Japan there had been suggestions

he would be taking some of his coaching staff with him. Assistant coach Tony Brown has signed for next year while McLeod is still working through with Highlanders management a deal for 2017. At the moment, McLeod, the defence coach for the franchise, is concentrating on what is next on the agenda and it is does not come much bigger than a match against the Hurricanes in Wellington on Friday night.

The game has been labelled the “rematch’’ by the Hurricanes marketing people but McLeod said any talk of the game being a replay of last year’s final was not being taken up by the Highlanders and the players. “We’ve not talked about the final. And so it shouldn’t be as we are sixth and seventh. If we were both top of the table then maybe it would be talked about,’’ McLeod said. Both teams had the bye last

week but the Highlanders did not have a week off. They trained three days last week as the side tried to keep momentum going following its two excellent wins over the Chiefs and then the Crusaders. Coming off the two great victories, the Highlanders have now run into a bye and will then have more than a month off the paddock as the season stops for the test window. One aspect of the game the

Highlanders need to work on is the starts of matches. Against both the Chiefs and the Crusaders the Highlanders were slow out of the blocks. “We got put under a hell of a lot of pressure against the Chiefs and the Crusaders, mainly at the start of those games. Just the momentum they got and the line breaks they were able to do,’’ McLeod said. “So we have to shore up our defensive line a little bit more.’’

Driven

MX-5 goes as good as it looks By Ross Kiddie I GUESS one of the most difficult processes a car manufacturer has to go through is combining body design along with mechanical purpose, there’s no point in making a car look good if it doesn’t perform in the manner for which it is destined. I’ll be bold enough to say that Mazda’s MX-5 is the perfect combination of appealing sports car looks along with the mechanical components which make it an exciting, vibrant drive. And as a total package it is sheer genius; from $40,995 the price is affordable, the thrill you get each time you are in it is immense, and in terms of practicality, desirability and performance there are few rivals. Regular readers will recall my 1.5-litre MX-5 evaluation in these columns in November last year, this evaluation focuses on the 2-litre variant, bearing in mind that it lists at $46,995, and $48,495 in automatic gearbox form, as tested. As much as I like manuals, I’m quite pleased the test car was an automatic. The 1.5-litre I drove last time was a manual and to schedule the other option was a sensible decision. The six-speeder has low and close ratios for that immediacy under acceleration that you would expect from a serious sports car, the MX-5 in this form is quick, it will cut out a standstill to 100km/h time of 6.5sec, and will lunge through a highway overtake in 5.2sec. Alongside the paddle-shift sequential changing options the MX-5 in this form gets an engine management process which, at the flick of a button, hastens engine urgency. The ‘sport’ setting awakens the engine to another level, it is frenetic, and somewhat urgent. I don’t know whether it’s me getting a little old, but I far preferred the more moderate setting, and even in that mode if you want vivid acceleration it is easily available.

MAZDA MX-5: Convertible operation can be done with one hand.

Like all MX-5s before it, the newcomer incorporates engine sound, not so much through the exhausts, but the engine sits close to the cockpit and you are well aware when it is working hard. It’s not uncomfortable, and most would welcome the intrusion – that’s the way it is with MX-5 and it’s a matter of enjoying it. I took the test car to Lake Coleridge village, it was a beautiful, warm autumn day so the roof was folded (one easy movement with the left arm), and it was an experience true to the concept of convertible motoring. In my introduction I men-

tioned the mechanics which make the MX-5 so capable as a sports car. The rear-wheel-drive layout, the fully independent suspension, and the near perfect front/rear weight split combined to produce handling of sheer genius. The MX-5 isn’t over-tyred, it doesn’t need huge rubber to glean grip, the 205/45 x 17in Bridgestone Potenza tyres do have sticky properties, but at just 1033kg the tyres are never loaded, you just point into a corner, apply power, and the exit is forceful. You can enjoy an oversteer type of handling feel if that is what you like, but before you

get too playful the traction control system will negate that feel. Of course, you can be tempted to switch that off, I wasn’t that brave but I can report that even with TCS activated you can still have an enormous amount of fun with the way the MX-5 handles. Everything about its construction is engineered to deliver the involvement factor as a driver, the steerage is precise, the way the suspension absorbs bumps yet keeps tyre contact to ground, and with the low centre of gravity there is no lurching within the handling process, the technology within the chassis dynamics is biased toward driver involve• Price – Mazda MX-5, $48,495 • Dimensions – Length, 3915mm; width, 1735mm; height, 1230mm • Configuration – Fourcylinder, rear-wheeldrive, 1998cc, 118kW, 200Nm, six-speed automatic. • Performance – 0-100km/ h, 6.5sec • Fuel usage – 6.9l/100km

• 6.2 litre Supercharged LSA Generation IV Alloy V8 engine • AP ventilated discs with forged 4-piston calipers • 20" x 8.5" (front) and 20" x 9.5" (rear) alloy wheels with a Machined face and Magnetic Grey accents

ment. Mazda rate the 1998cc, twincamshaft, 16-valve engine with 118kW and 200Nm, that’s up about 22kW and 50Nm on the 1.5-litre unit. It’s not a huge step up, but for those who are of the mindset that bigger is better then it’s there for you, however, I’d opt for the entry-level unit, it is a wee honey. That aside, the 2-litre works through the transmission unimpeded and has a broad spread of torque which makes driving in all environments adaptable along with a fun element if you have the desire to ease the accelerator down. And, as you would expect from Mazda, fuel consumption isn’t excessive. It claims a 6.9-litre per 100km (41mpg) combined cycle average, my time with the test car saw the fuel usage readout hover around 8l/100km (35mpg), along with an amazing 4l/100km (70mpg) instantaneous readout at 100km/h, the engine spinning slowly at just 1750rpm, a result of a tall top gear. That’s the beauty of a six-speed automatic, the ratios provide that immediacy when you want swift movement off the mark along with broadening out to provide economy at highway speed. The MX-5 is also very Mazdaesque inside, there’s a large central screen from which you can sight all of the major functions, it is controlled by a centre console dial. It also gets a good level of kit for comfort and convenience and, of course, safety items are in abundance. As much as I enjoyed the MX-5 in both forms, I’m an avid rotary fan and still yearn to own a tidy RX8. The experience Mazda has capitilised on during the years they have been producing both sports cars has given it the ability and capacity to produce exciting models. I can’t see that changing, but I bet the pressure is on internally to create another masterpiece five years down the track.

Adding warmth to your home, however, is not just about choosing the right heating, but also the creation of a scrumptious winter haven that invites you to hunker down with creature comforts. A home might be warm and dry, but as we transition from summer to winter there is that lack of cosiness to our homes. By following a few simple steps you can enhance and create more warmth within your home. Roll out the Rugs hardwood floors and tiles are brilliant during the summer months, but come winter, your feet are likely to feel a little different. using large rugs in the main areas of your home will help to insulate a room and keep your feet warm. The textured look of a rug will also add a feel of cosiness to a room.

they look – hence the name ‘throw’! There is a great range of cosy fauxfur throws on the market this winter, too. If you don’t already have one, get a footstool.

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.
