Convention centre deal: How it went pear-shaped

By Shelley Robinson OFFICIAL documents have revealed for the first time what contributed to the soured convention centre deal between the Government and Plenary Conventions New Zealand.

Treasury documents released under the Official Information Act show the slow demise over about two years. There were delays due to the difficulty of Plenary (PCNZ) building the project within Cabinet’s budget.

How much Cabinet has put aside for the project remains under-wraps, with costs redacted in the document.

The city council’s cost-share agreement showed a budget of $284 million, expected to be topped up by private partnerships.

More than $84.5 million has been spent on the convention centre so far, with little to show on the ground.

The Treasury confirmed yesterday this spend was budgeted and not a blow-out.

PCNZ, a consortium of Plenary Group, Ngai Tahu Property and Carter Group, won the building contract not only for the convention centre, but for the surrounding precinct, and maintain it for 10 years. It was announced on August 8, 2014.

The Government has remained tight-lipped on why the PCNZ deal broke down, citing commercial sensitivity – saying only that it was “mutually agreed”.

The documents showed events

came to a head on May 11 this year when PCNZ tabled information that showed “pricing pressures” as a result of a “pricing update.”

The actual pricing pressure was redacted from the memo.

next day.

On May 12, PCNZ issued Otakaro Ltd, the Governmentowned company which took over from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, with a written notice. The notice said

was “unlikely” that the parties would reach agreement within the Affordability Threshold of May 31.

That meant 15 days of “good faith” negotiations, before PCNZ could terminate the “process

agreement”, said Treasury in a memo to Minister of Finance Bill English and Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration Gerry Brownlee on May 20.

Thursday September 29 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

THE MAJOR projects rebuild has been a slow and painful process as we all know.

The sports stadium and convention centre have still to get the first pegs in.

Today on page 1, we reveal the background to the break down between the Government and Plenary, which were to develop the convention centre.

And we also detail where some of the $84 million so far spent on the project has gone (page 4).

And speaking of painful processes, former mayor Garry Moore continues to battle to get his earthquake-damaged house fixed. He’s not a bad writer so he’s cut loose on page 18.

Also in today’s issue, we tap into the plan to drill oil off the Canterbury coast and canvas the views of Lianne Dalziel and the councillors.

And Gabrielle Stuart reports on the financial issues that lie ahead for the health board on pages 7 and 12.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST

CANTABRIANS HAPPY

THis week in history saw the opening of the rebuilt Victoria Bridge on September 28, 1864. It was likely to be the country’s first iron and stone bridge. On September 29, 1888, the South Island rugby team played Lillywhite and Shrewsbury’s English team at Lancaster Park. Friendship Corner was opened by the Bridge of Remembrance on September 29, 1978. After a heated public debate over whether the area should be used for parking, the city council decided to plant it with trees representing Christchurch’s sister cities. On September 30, 1972, the new town hall complex and James Hay Theatre, which was designed

by Warren and Mahoney, opened. And on September 30, 1983, the city council adopted the recommendation to close Victoria St to traffic through Victoria Square.

It appears most Christchurch residents are happy with their quality of life. Nine councils from across the country participated in the Quality of Life survey.

Of the 520 people interviewed in Christchurch, 78 per cent rated their quality of life as good or extremely good. The most common reasons were physical and mental health and well being, financial well being, and positive relationships.

Dial up a member for cup day tickets

By Bridget Rutherford CUP DAY revellers wanting to watch the action from the members’ area at Riccarton Park Racecourse will now have to know a member to do so.

Previously, anyone could pay between $70-$100 for a members’ area ticket to enter the club grandstand and the Show Gate reserved car park,

as opposed to buying a general admission ticket for between $20-$40.

However, under the racecourse’s new liquor licence for New Zealand Cup Day on November 12, tickets need to be sourced through members, who can allocate 20.

Either the member buys the ticket on behalf of the person, or people wanting to buy one

have to enter in a member code.

Canterbury Jockey Club chief executive Tim Mills said the changes would limit the number of people going in there, which was usually in the “thousands.”

“The police just wanted us to have a little bit more control and one of the ways of doing that was if members bought the tickets on behalf of people. So in

theory someone will be answerable to the person who got them their tickets.”

Mr Mills said under its liquor licence, people with reserved car parks would not be able to bring in their own alcohol, however, it would still be for sale at the event.

To become a club member, people have to apply, and be elected at a board meeting.

Drink driver jailed

By Gabrielle Stuart FOURTH-TIME drink driver Sarah Jane Arrow (pictured) was sentenced yesterday to two and a half years in prison after she lost control of her car and crashed into a young couple walking in Redcliffs.

The 45-year-old teacher-aide was also banned from driving indefinitely and ordered to pay $2500 in reparation to the victim.

The police had been called before the crash by passers-by, who reported the Volkswagen she was driving was swerving over the road.

She lost control on a corner and hit Ben Appleton, who was thrown two metres off the path onto rocks.

He broke both legs, and fractured his skull, while his girlfriend, who had been walking with him, was left with minor scrapes and bruises.

Arrow told police she had two glasses of wine and was blinded by the sun when she crashed, but she was tested with 1009mcg/l of alcohol on her breath Mr Appleton sat with his family and did not speak at the sentence yesterday, but he wrote a victim impact statement, which his brother, Tom Appleton, read out.

It said he still experienced

constant pain, tiredness and stress after the accident, and would keep the scars all his life.

“I will probably set off alarms at airports because I have so much metal holding my legs

together,” he said.

He said he had been nine days into a job and about to move in with his girlfriend before the crash, but it had put both those things on hold.

7th, 8th & 9th Oct

www.theswapmeet.org.nz

“I have often wished that I had died,” he said in the statement.

Arrow sat with her head bowed and cried silently as she listened to the statement.

Her lawyer Allister Davis said she had gone through her own trauma in the lead up to the crash.

He said her mother had died in 2013 and “things went downhill from there.” Her life “hit rock bottom” earlier this year, he said, as she came home to discover her ex-husband had taken their children and cleared her house of furniture.

He said she had tried to take her own life.

He said she had voluntarily gone to mental health and alcohol addiction treatment after the crash and had apologised to Mr Appleton.

Arrow was composed as she took to the dock to hear her sentence, but her hands shook.

Judge Stephen O’Driscoll said there was a high risk Arrow would re-offend.

He said her high breath alcohol level, her previous convictions, the extensive injuries she caused and the fact she was driving on a zero alcohol licence were all aggravating factors against her.

But he reduced her sentence because of her offer of reparation and early guilty plea.

In Brief ARREST WARRANT ISSUED A Christchurch man found guilty of shining a laser into two aircraft and an air control tower has failed to appear in court for sentencing. ​ A warrant is out for the arrest of Tane Hemopo after his absence in the district court yesterday.

The 39-year-old admitted shining a laser into the cockpit of a passenger plane – endangering the lives of 121 passengers and crew. Hemopo originally faced up to 14 years’ imprisonment, until last month when he pleaded guilty under the Civil Aviation Act, which carries up to a year’s imprisonment and up to $10,000 fine. Hemopo maintains he did not know it was an offence.

BRIDGE REPAIR COMPLETED Repairs to the 39-year-old Durham St overbridge have been completed. Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team has spent the past 10 months repairing the bridge. It had to be closed nine times overnight so sections could be lifted 10mm so engineers could rebuild the concrete and steel supports.

FIRE STATION ON THE MOVE After attending more than 100,000 callouts in its 108-year history, the New Brighton Volunteer Fire Brigade will be packing its bags and moving to Avondale. In 2018, the brigade will leave its Hawke St station, to a new $10 million site on the corner of Anzac Drive and Wainoni Rd. The Wainoni Fire Brigade will join New Brighton at the newly-named Anzac Fire Station and will be made up of both volunteers and paid firefighters.

EQC CHIEF TO STEP DOWN Earthquake Commission chief executive Ian Simpson will step down at the end of the year to become head of another Government agency, GNS Science. He took on the EQC role in 2010, before the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes hit. During his time in charge, its staff grew from 22 people to 1800. It settled 720,000 domestic insurance claims.

By Shelley Robinson TWENTY-EIGHT reports have been done on the convention centre by consultants since 2012 at a cost of more than $660,000.

The Star requested copies of

the reports under the Official Information Act, but it was declined by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The Star has laid a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman.

Invoices for 12 of the reports could not be located within the OIA time frame or were not able to be extracted because it was part of a larger contract.

A Parliamentary written ques-

tion by Labour MP Canterbury Issue Dr Megan Woods found that $19.3 million has been spent on “consultant/professional expenses,” while $61.6 million on land and building acquisitions.

The total cost is $84.5 million.

Treasury confirmed yesterday that for the 2016/17 financial year, $95.4 million of capital funding and $1.5 million of operating funding has been budgeted for the convention centre project.

•From page 1 A process agreement sets out the obligations of each party.

But Treasury said either party could terminate on May 31.

It is not said in the documents when ultimately the partnership finished or why. A month later it was publicly announced the Crown would do the project alone.

A detailed time-line showed in March 2015, Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority “paused” the project after receiving PCNZ mid-stage design.

CERA decided to reduce the project’s size, removing the hotel and car park to manage “cost pressures.”

Cabinet approval was sought for a new business case. It had a fixed

budget, and transferred design construction and facility management risk to the developer.

Cabinet agreed to funding in November 2015.

But a month later PCNZ presented three options – none of which, said official documents, could meet the budget set by Cabinet.

On December 16, joint ministers agreed to delay a decision, due to this.

In February, after negotiations with PCNZ, CERA presented three options to joint ministers.

Costs of each were redacted.

They were a “five-star facility”, a 4.5 facility with a “high quality” finish and iconic facade, that could host 140 delegates, and finally a three-star facility

not favoured by CERA because of quality of the finish, size and financial risk.

A “go decision” was made by joint ministers on February 16.

It is not clear in the documents which option, or if any option, was chosen.

Negotiations kept continuing until May 12 when the legal process was invoked.

Mr Brownlee told The Star yesterday he had provided the “best information” while maintaining the commercial position of the Crown, as it has put out for tender the build.

He said the “termination” of the agreement with PCNZ involved a number of different steps and was “ultimately mutual.”

He said it was known from the

beginning that either party could end the relationship at different stages.

City councillor Jamie Gough said delays in the convention centre had done irreparable damage to business confidence.

He said delays would have cost the city conferences.

He said the anchor projects and the convention centre put a “stake in the ground” for businesses. “. . . but when you have those stakes and they start moving it does a tremendous amount of damage and in some case irreparable.”

He said the lack of communication over the convention centre created an air of uncertainty and speculation was rife.

Labour MP for Canterbury Issues Dr Megan Woods said she was concerned with how little information had been given to taxpayers.

“Gerry Brownlee has hidden behind commercial sensitivity instead of giving clear answers about why this project was so delayed, and why the original plan fell apart,” she said.

Ngai Tahu Property had no comment, Carter Group did not respond to an email asking for comment.

PCNZ New Zealand director Paul Crowe said both parties had agreed to discontinue the process in June.

He said its design and master planning would be used the Crown in its delivery.

HISTORIC: Repairs to the Canterbury Provincial Council Chambers will begin in March. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN

Plan for repairs to historic buildings pleases lawyer

By Bridget Rutherford LAWYER KERRY Cook will be happy to see repairs to the Canterbury Provincial Council Chambers begin in March.

The buildings, on the corner of Durham and Armagh Sts, housed his office for about six years.

However, during the February 2011 earthquake, one of the stone bell towers smashed through the roof and onto his desk.

Fortunately he decided to travel to Nelson that morning for a court hearing, he said.

“A gang’s never saved my life, but they did that morning because that’s who I was representing in Nelson, a local gang.”

He later got a call from one of his colleagues, Gerald Lascelles, to update him on how everyone was, and the state of the building.

“Gerald left a lovely message on my cell phone at the time when he got home. He said I’m okay,

if you were at work you would have been dead.

Goodbye.”

Mr Cook (above) said the news the stage one repairs on the buildings would begin in March was great.

They were the “jewel in the crown” of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in the South Island, he said.

The city council has asked contractors for expressions of interest to repair the buildings, which date back to the 1850s.

It wants to begin stage one of the repairs, which consist of restoring the timber buildings, the

Durham St safes and the Armagh St tower.

It would have the detailed design completed by November, so work on the first stage could begin in late March.

City council head of vertical capital delivery and professional service Liam Nolan said the stage one works were scheduled to be completed in late 2019, with a budget of $30 million.

The repairs would be completed in five stages, he said, however, a time frame or costs for the remaining four was not yet known.

Mr Nolan said at the beginning of July last year, $40 million was allocated to the repairs, however, in October, $10 million of that was re-allocated to the Old Municipal Chambers.

He said the project team had begun preliminary work on restoration strategies for the remaining stages, with further funds to be allocated for that in 2017.

Financial crisis only the beginning

By Gabrielle Stuart COMMUNITY services are worried about the effect five years of district health board shortfalls could have on them.

The Canterbury District Health Board is currently in discussions with the Ministry of Health over what can be done about its $35m budget deficit.

But a review of the CDHB finances found that was only the start of the expected financial problems, with budgets forecast to fall short each year until at least 2021.

Community services are now concerned about how any budget cuts might affect the community.

Canterbury Charity Hospital founder Philip Bagshaw (below) said he already saw thousands of people in Christchurch who had minor surgery delayed, and he was worried that would grow worse if health budgets were tightened.

That would cost more money in the future, as people spent more time off work or simple problems developed

7

complications because of delays, he said.

Age Concern Canterbury chief executive Simon Templeton was concerned about the effect on elderly services, which were already strained because of Christchurch’s ageing population.

But CDHB health board deputy chairman Steve Wakefield (right) said the board members were dedicated to doing everything they could to protect the community from the effect of its shortfall.

He said they were currently in discussions with the Ministry of Health, hoping to get extra funding, but that was likely to need to happen again each

year that the CDHB budget fell short.

“The Government has listened to us in the past, and the ministry does understand the unique elements of the situation,” he said.

CDHB planning and funding general manager Carolyn Gullery said both the funding and costs were expected to rise next year, when they forecast a shortfall of $29.5 million.

A shortfall in the budget for mental health services contributed to the shortfall this year.

KS L AU D I T PR ES EN TS

EA RTHQUAKE SO LU T I O N S S E M I N A R

The Government set a $150.7 million ring fence minimum which the CDHB must spend on mental health this year, but only provided $130.7 in mental health funding, although it gave an extra $5.48 million in March.

The Ministry of Health has commissioned Pricewaterhouse Coopers to review the CDHB’s finances and find where it might be able to make budget cuts.

Mr Wakefield said he expected to see that report this week, but it was delayed. Once the health board received the report, it would sit down to discuss the next steps with the Ministry of Health, he said.

LINCOLN’S FINEST SUBDIVISION

Police bid to crack down on youth crime

By Andrew King PAPANUI POLICE will target the top 10 youth offenders in their area as part of an on-going crackdown on youth crime in the city.

It is part of a wider focus throughout northern and eastern suburbs to reduce youth crime and as part of the national goal to reduce it 25 per cent by June 2017.

The Papanui side of this has been dubbed Operation Piper.

They will step up bail checks, follow up breaches of bail conditions and get out and about with at-risk youth to build relationships.

“The idea is to have a fluid list that is always changing as we engage with them to try to break the cycle of offending,” Acting Sergeant Nic Adcock said.

The wider plan is to target hotspots where offending is the highest in the eastern suburbs.

St Albans, Linwood and Phillipstown are three of the main focus points for police, who will step up their foot patrols and engage with the community more.

Senior Sergeant Dave Robertson said areas such as the Eastgate Shopping Centre and a 1km radius around it had a large number of people that move through it and had a high number of calls for police.

Countdown to oil and gas drilling plan Drilling for oil and gas off the Canterbury coast is back on the horizon. Gabrielle Stuart reports THE RISK of a spill, the danger to local endangered species and the lack of public consultation: They were just some of the 46 points the city council raised in a submission against the Government’s oil and gas block offer last year.

In spite of that, the Government went ahead with the block offer anyway.

As consultation opens on a similar offer this year, some city councillors are now questioning if the Government will listen to what they say.

The latest offer would open a 210,884 sq km area of ocean below Banks Peninsula for commercial oil and gas exploration tenders next year.

Oil Free Otautahi spokeswoman Bridget White said it had become an issue of democracy.

“I think it is absolutely astonishing that they have the guts to do it again after the strong opposition to it from the Christchurch City Council last time,” she said.

Last week, Energy and Resources Minister Simon Bridges

did not answer questions from The Star about how much weight he would give to the city council’s submission when making his decision.

He said only that he would consult with them to “identify areas of significance or sensitivity.”

He also did not answer questions about what advice he had received about the risk of a spill.

However, he said all bids received would be put through an involved assessment process, checking their systems, finances and compliance history.

“Exploration in this area is not new and the Canterbury and Great South Basins have seen exploration activity since the early 1970s,” he said.

Many of the city councillors were worried regions like Canterbury would take on all the risk and earn very little reward if companies were allowed to drill.

But Petroleum Exploration and Production Association NZ chief executive Cameron Madgwick said there would be

•About 3700 New Zealanders are employed in the oil and gas industry – and more in industries supporting it •The Government collects tax and royalties from the industry – the forecast royalty take this year is $228 million •Being able to draw on local supplies of oil and gas could drop the price and protect, to some extent, from shortages or big price hikes in the future

benefits for the region.

Taking Taranaki as an example, he said oil and gas made up 41 per cent of its gross domestic product, which was the highest GDP per capita in the country – $80,297 per person in value, compared with $53,054 per person in Canterbury.

Counting businesses which indirectly serviced the industry, he estimated it had created 11,000 jobs.

Finding a large gas reserve off Canterbury could also service the region, he said, and could potentially have positive environmental impacts if it replaced coal burning.

ON THE LINE: The Government is considering opening up a 210,884 sq km area of ocean below Banks Peninsula for commercial oil and gas exploration. ​

PEPANZ chief executive Cameron Madgwick said after discovering a site, the process of permitting and developing it ready to drill could take up to 10 years, so the immediate after effects of the Canterbury earthquake would be long over.

The risk of an earthquake was something the equipment was built to withstand, as it was designed to handle movement

from things like the ocean currents, he said.

University of Auckland engineering science lecturer David Dempsey said drilling posed a lot less risk to stability than things like fracking.

“That is not to say it’s not possible. Because if you are drilling across a fault, if you were quite unfortunate, you could trigger something. But it is very unlikely,” he said.

What the mayor and city councillors think Lianne Dalziel: The council has collectively adopted a position in opposition to these permits being issued due to the significant consequences of an oil spill.

Vicki Buck: Totally against it and I expect the city council will oppose it. The risks are so high and the rewards are actually zero to the region. You risk massive environment damage – this is very close to a marine mammal sanctuary.

Andrew Turner: I’m opposed to drilling activity in the marine sanctuaries, which is particularly relevant to waters off my ward of Banks Peninsula.

Ali Jones: I don’t support anything that doesn’t have a robust risk management plan in place. From what I have heard in council, it sounds like we would not be able to manage a spill. So I would be open to listening, but only if there is something new in this case.

David East: I voted to support the Government’s decision last year. But I may have a slightly different opinion this year. I’m ambivalent this year. With the price of oil at the moment and the advancements we’re seeing in things like storage, it’s questionable whether we will actually need it in the near future.

Glenn Livingstone: The risk is too high in terms of a potential catastrophe. And also, is it a future we want to work towards?

We want to work towards a more sustainable future. It comes back to that whole cost-benefit ratio.

Jamie Gough: I support initiatives which help grow our local economy.

However, I am yet to be convinced that the benefits would necessarily markedly outweigh the risks.

It’s not to say that benefits are nonexistent – because that simply isn’t true.

However, those in the decision-making position will clearly need to analyse the risk versus reward as our national brand could ultimately be what’s at stake if they get it wrong.

Jimmy Chen: Why tourists come to New Zealand is because we have environmental assets. They come to see our natural environment, agricultural, horticultural and

seashore assets. If this is damaged, it will damage the New Zealand economy. My personal view is to go against the Government proposal.

Paul Lonsdale: We have to look to the future and the risks

to our marine life and pristine shorelines are too great. The future of energy is not in petroleum and – noting that transportation uses 64 per cent of all oil produced – with the rapid development of better performance electric cars and driverless cars, the need to own a car may be much like needing to own a horse in the future.

Pauline Cotter: We don’t really know what the benefits to our local area, or to New Zealand, are going to be when the oil prices are so low and the profits would probably go overseas anyway. So it seems we are putting ourselves at a high risk for little gain. We’ve spoken as a council and that’s all we can do, so it’s up to the people now.

Phil Clearwater: I’m open to hearing the other arguments but, overall, I think the concept of drilling for oil right adjacent to our shores makes a nonsense of the need to reduce our carbon

emissions to address the serious consequence of climate change. I think it’s unacceptable really.

Raf Manji: I don’t think it’s a very good idea and I’m quite surprised it’s coming from a Government which is starting to promote electric vehicles. The fact they’re out there promoting a technology we don’t really want to be investing in is not economically a smart idea or, environmentally, something we want to be doing in Canterbury, especially with seismic issues.

Tim Scandrett: Unless we’ve got the capability in this country to fix a leak or an accident, then we shouldn’t be touching it. We have the hector’s dolphins in that area – it wouldn’t take much to alter their entire existence. I can see the economic benefit of it, but I don’t want it to happen before there are preventative measures in place if there is a disaster.

Yani Johanson: This is a huge gamble, it’s not a question of if something goes wrong, it’s a question of when. In effect, it is basically selling off our environmental assets to try and make money and I feel that our oceans and coasts are incredibly precious and I can’t see any benefit for it. Even the process itself can be disruptive to the sea life, so why would you do that?

Offshore tsunami risk to be revealed

By Jamie Morton A MULTI-MILLION dollar study will reveal the true threat New Zealand faces from an offshore area thought to be capable of triggering massive earthquakes and devastating tsunamis.

And Christchurch will not be spared.

It focuses on what’s called the Hikurangi subduction zone, where the Pacific Plate dives beneath the North Island off the East Coast.

It has potential to be the country’s single biggest geological hazard, yet little is known about the danger it poses.

“Megathrust” quakes in subduction zones have been the cause of major disasters, including the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that killed 230,000 people around the Indian Ocean, and the 2011 Tohuku tsunami in Japan that left nearly 16,000 dead.

While geoscientists have unearthed evidence showing that the East Coast had been hit by large tsunami and megathrust earthquakes in the past, much about the size and frequency of

MEGATHRUST: Research has been undertaken at Big Lagoon in the south-eastern Wairau River valley to better understand historic earthquakes related to the Hikurangi subduction zone.

those events remained unclear.

Dr Laura Wallace, of GNS Science, which is leading a major collaborative project that has just received $6.5 million in Government funding over the next five years, said there was an urgent need to better understand it.

The project will be leveraging off of more than $25 million in international investment

planned over the next several years to further probe offshore records of past and present movements along the zone, and gain more insights into the physical processes involved.

The project links in with plans by the 26-nation International Ocean Discovery Programme to create an underwater earthquake observatory, with an expedition in 2018 set to drill three holes of

up to 1.5km deep in the seafloor in different parts of the plate boundary, about 40 to 80km east of Gisborne.

“Because New Zealand’s historical record is so short, we have no idea what the Hikurangi subduction zone is capable of – it is arguably the largest, unknown, geohazard facing the country,” Dr Wallace said.

If a magnitude 9 earthquake occurred on the subduction zone, it could cause strong shaking and damage throughout much of the North Island.

“We can see from GPS measurements that large parts of the subduction zone is basically locked up and probably building up stress that will eventually be relieved in a very large earthquake – such an event would rupture not just beneath the offshore area, but also continue beneath the North Island, with very strong shaking associated with it.”

If the subduction zone ruptures in a magnitude 9 earthquake, it could threaten tens of thousands of lives, cause billions of dollars in damage and impact large population centres, including Wellington, Auckland

and Christchurch.

As part of the project, Dr Philip Barnes of the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere will lead a voyage in November to investigate submarine sediment deposits and search for offshore clues of past megathrust quakes.

The new scientific information provided will eventually help to inform improved tsunami evacuation procedures, help guide engineering practices to lower risks and slash the costs of economic recovery, and allow asset and insurance managers to make better decisions.

Dr Wallace said seafloor monitoring capabilities developed as part of the project would give New Zealand the technology needed to eventually progress to an earthquake and tsunami early warning system, similar to those being developed in Japan and the United States.

“There’s a real need for more instrumentation to respond and to understand these offshore quakes more quickly, such as the recent earthquake and small tsunami generated offshore of Te Araroa on September 2,” she said. New Zealand Herald

Health cuts cause long-term concern The Canterbury District Health Board’s $37 million budget shortfall may be just the beginning of its money woes. A review of its finances obtained

by The Star shows it is expecting its budgets to fall short every year until 2021. Gabrielle Stuart looked at what five years of belt-tightening could look like for the community TO UNDERSTAND what could be in store for Canterbury, you only need to look south.

The board of the Southern District Health Board was sacked last year and replaced with commissioners after three years of budget shortfalls.

Sitting around the board table, the former health board members faced what they saw as an impossible task.

The Dunedin Hospital building was leaking so badly operations sometimes had to be delayed, but without the money to rebuild it all that could be done was repairs.

A plan to upgrade the Lakes District Hospital had to be abandoned because of the budget issues.

When the board looked at cutting services at some hospitals to save money, hundreds of people turned out on the street to protest.

The stood-down former chairman, Joe Butterfield, did not want to talk about the experience, saying only that the board had been under huge pressure.

But former deputy-chairman Paul Menzies said those meetings had been incredibly difficult.

During the 12 years he served on the board he said inflation and wages increased faster than their funding did, so any extra was immediately eaten up.

LOOKING AHEAD: As Christchurch’s older population is growing, Age Concern chief executive Simon Templeton (inset) is worried about what any budget cuts could do to already stretched services. ​ “We were never able to sit in our board meeting thinking how can we do something extra for the community. We were always looking at where can we cut,” he said.

Always on their minds was the knowledge budget cuts would have a real impact on people in the community who were sick or in pain, he said.

“But you know the other side of that is you have to make the business work or down the track more people will be hurt,” he said.

In his work as a surgeon, Canterbury Charity Hospital founder Philip Bagshaw sees the effect of tightened health budgets every day.

He was very worried about what any budget cuts would do

to the community.

“This has being going on for years and it is getting worse. We are slipping further and further back,” he said.

He said elective surgery for things like hernias was often the first thing to be cut back.

“First of all it’s inhumane, and second it’s economic nonsense,” he said.

“These are non-urgent things but they are important. If you operate on these things early you get people back into the workforce and they are happier and more productive people, and in the long term it saves money.”

If someone was left without getting surgery, a simple condition could also develop complications which made it very diffi-

cult and expensive to treat down the track, Dr Bagshaw said.

It is a similar story for older people’s services.

Age Concern Canterbury chief executive Simon Templeton said many services were being paid for through donations or grants, because funding was already very tight.

He was worried about what would happen as budgets tightened, at the same time as the population was getting older, stretching services even further.

By 2023, Statistics NZ predicts almost one in five Christchurch residents will be over 65, with about 70,500 people aged 65+ that year compared with about 52,100 in the last census.

But although Mr Templeton

was concerned about the impact any funding cuts would have, he said he still had confidence in the CDHB leadership.

“They are very committed to Canterbury and very committed to providing world-class health care. It’s a struggle but they are up to that challenge,” he said.

“While I would say it shouldn’t be cut from the older person’s sector, it’s likewise for the mental health sector, likewise adolescent services, likewise the hospital and elective surgery, they are all going to say the same thing – not our service. So there are some tough decisions to be made.”

The SDHB’s Mr Menzies believed there would be no easy solution to Canterbury’s health woes, and incoming health board members would have a huge job on their hands.

“People who think they will get on the board and change the world are dreaming. There is good work going on behind the scenes, but you’re not going to get any pats on the back for it,” he said.

Although the size of the deficit has only recently been revealed, the CDHB health board members have known for a long time that problems were looming.

They were also warned that there would be no easy fix, and they were likely to face budgets which were just as tight for years into the future.

But all the currently elected board members have chosen to run for another term anyway.

Board member Anna Crighton, who has served on the board for three terms, said they knew it would be difficult.

They hoped to be elected again in order to do everything they could to keep the tight budget from hurting the community, she said.

“I’m in there for the long fight.

I’m not just going to give up and walk away from it, I’m going to use all the influence I can to try to convince Wellington to give us more funding,” she said.

Red zone plan outlined

By Bridget Rutherford REGENERATE Christchurch wants to begin working on a draft outline for a small part of the residential red zone next month.

The organisation tasked with overseeing the redevelopment of the red zone, New Brighton and central city has proposed a plan on how and when it will decide what to do with the land.

It wants to split the AvonOtakaro corridor of the red zone into three separate blocks.

Under the plan, it would begin working through a draft outline for the first and smallest block next month, which runs along the Avon River from Oxford Tce to Stanmore Rd. Chief executive Ivan Iafeta (left) said it was a small area, there was no privately-owned land on it, and it had no infrastructure complications and was upstream.

The middle block includes the area that an international water course is proposed for.

Mr Iafeta said a feasibility study into whether the course could work needed to be done sooner rather than later because it affected the remainder of the plans.

PROGRESS: Regenerate Christchurch wants to work from the inside out to come up with a plan for the residential red zone. ​

It is not known how much would be spent on the study, as there was no budget currently set aside for redevelopment of the red zone, he said.

The third block would run to Bexley.

Avon-Otakaro Network cochairman Evan Smith said it was a good idea to begin with a small “bite sized” piece to test out the process.

He said there needed to be a chance to tweak it to make sure the entire corridor fitted together.

Minster supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration Gerry Brownlee would need to approve

the final plans for the red zone.

Mr Iafeta said Regenerate had to look into the possibility of building a city to sea walkway and cycleway through the red zone.

Flood mitigation needed to be considered for the area as well, he said. For about a month from today, people will be able to have their say on what they think of the plan to work in blocks.

Mr Iafeta said the organisation wanted to be transparent, so all the land information would be put on its website.

“They’ve [the community] said this is too important to get it wrong.”

Erebus Chalice on return journey to Antarctica A SPECIAL chalice that has spent the winter in Christchurch will be blessed on Sunday before making its journey back to Antarctica.

The Erebus Chalice spends winter at the Christchurch Transitional Cathedral, but returns to the Chapel of the Snows at McMurdo Station for the summer months.

The tradition spans nearly three decades.

The Chapel of the Snows is a non-denominational Christian church that can be used by New Zealanders while they are living at Scott Base. It has stained glass windows and looks over the Ross Sea and the Transantarctic Mountains.

The chalice will be blessed and farewelled at the South to Antarctica Service at the Transitional Cathedral on Sunday at 10am to mark the beginning of the Antarctic season.

It is open to the public.

Made in 1910, the Erebus Chalice was gifted in 1987 to commemorate the 75th

anniversary of Robert Falcon Scott’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912.

It was named after HMS Erebus whose 1841 expedition reached what is now known as the Ross Sea. It was gifted

by Betty Bird, a descendant of Lieutenant Joseph Bird who was a member of the 1841 expedition.

The chalice will be handed over to a United States Air Force deputy commander at the ceremony. When it arrives in Antarctica it is kept in a display case inside the Chapel of the Snows.

Nervous wait for bars in the face For the last three years, the city council has been working on its draft local alcohol policy. Pubs, clubs, and bars outside a small central city zone were told they would have to shut at 1am – a move backed by police. The pubs appealed, causing the council to indicate a relaxing of its stance and allow some bars to stay open after 1am. A final decision is yet to be made. Kurt Bayer takes a look at the ongoing row CHRISTCHURCH pubs and clubs fighting controversial moves to shut them down at 1am feel they are being “bullied” and “harassed” by police.

Police cite data that 40 per cent of all crime in the city – like other major New Zealand centres – is alcohol-related.

However, pubs say it shouldn’t all be blamed on them. Instead, they point to cheap booze being bought at off-licences like supermarkets and liquor stores.

Many pub and club owners, bar managers and industry sources spoken to say a 1am close for those just outside the city centre would be a death blow for both the hospitality industry and Christchurch.

“What young people would want to come and live and work in what will be a giant retirement village? They are killing the city,”

one prominent member of the hospitality industry said.

Hollywood star Sam Neill last month said Sydney’s controversial lockout laws had turned the city into a “pointless place”.

“I’m grumpy because Sydney used to be such a vibrant and exciting place in the late 70s and early 80s,” he said.

“There was an extraordinary culture but the vibrancy has been sucked out of the place.”

Many industry sources believe they have been unfairly targeted by the Canterbury Police team policing unit over the past two years.

They say that up to 15 police officers march into their bar on any given night.

Others report officers targeting patrons who are sober drivers, or on their first drink.

NIGHT LIFE: Bar owners say closing the doors at 1am would be a death blow to Christchurch’s hospitality industry.

owners, and bar managers won’t be named for fear of recrimination.

Amy McLellan-Minty, Hospitality New Zealand Canterbury, says members have raised concerns with her over what they see as “heavy-handed police tactics”.

“Our members absolutely want to have relationships with police, because they need us, and we need them. We just don’t want swarms of blue,” she said.

One Christchurch bar suspends drinks service when team policing enters and only resumes when it has gone.

Another operator says up to 15-20 police officers come through their doors on any given night.

“In 20-odd years, I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Another publican said a 1am close would be “devastating” for trade.

The rebuilding city needs tourism and vibrancy, he said.

But, he claimed, police scrutiny was making it difficult to operate.

“Policing suddenly changed

about two years ago. It was a complete change of attitude,” the pub owner said.

“Most nights we would have five to 10 police standing around the bar in full battle dress for half an hour to an hour. It’s very anti-business.”

One high-ranking council source, who would not be named, described the police tactics as bullying and malicious.

“It’s almost like a Cartel-type approach really,” they said.

“It’s deplorable and without any real regard for what it means for the city or desirability for young people.

“I’ve spoken to a number of bar owners who are really great operators, and bring so much to the city, and they are s***-scared of putting their head above the parapet, because as soon as they do, they are off-side with police and liquor licensing and they will make life hell for them.”

For the last three years, pubs skirting the fringe of the postdisaster zone of the central business district have been fighting a war on two fronts.

Attracting tourists and locals to their establishments – in a city that remains pockmarked and scarred by the after-effects of the devastating 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, with shipping containers, rubble, cleared whole city blocks – has been a tough sell.

Bars, pubs, restaurants and clubs in places like Victoria St, Addington, St Asaph St, and Merivale stepped up to meet the eating and drinking demands of a populace wanting to continue a somewhat normal life.

In the background has been the ongoing machinations of Christchurch City Council’s draft Local Alcohol Policy.

It proposed in May last year to shut down those bars, which are deemed outside the 3am city centre zone, at 1am.

The plans were met with horror by the affected businesses and they pitched together to fight it.

The council indicated a U-turn on aspects of the policy earlier this year, and relaxed its proposals to allow many of them to stay open after 1am.

of strong policing That move in turn angered local neighbourhood and residents associations who have vocally opposed late-night bars in their areas.

The police and district health board had supported a 1am close.

It still rumbles on, with the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority still considering various submissions on where the plan is headed.

Inspector Glenn Nalder said the local alcohol policy will help reduce “crime and victimisation” in Christchurch.

“Police don’t collect data specifically around alcohol-related crime but what we do know is that, in general, up to about 40 per cent of crime is considered to be alcohol-related. Christchurch is no different to the rest of the country in that respect,” he said.

He rejected accusations that team policing is being heavyhanded.

“We typically find that good operators welcome police visits,” Inspector Nalder (left) said.

“The purpose of licensed premise checks is to ensure provisions of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act are complied with.

“Licensed premised checks are undertaken following a risk assessment which takes into account a number of factors including police and public safety.”

Inspector Nalder said most licensed premise checks are undertaken by only two police staff.

“Obviously some checks are undertaken by a greater number of staff but that depends on the premises and the situation,” he added.

Technology takes toll on young eyes

By Gabrielle Stuart TOO MUCH screen use is taking its toll on young people’s eyes, with children as young as five having to get treatment, Canterbury optometrists say.

Many patients had dry eyes, eyestrain or headaches, they said.

Nine out of 10 New Zealand optometrists had concerns about the number of people they saw with eye damage linked to heavy use of digital devices, a survey by Eyezen lenses this month found.

Rangiora Eyecare optometrist Kimberley Shea said she saw several patients a day who complained of problems linked with screen use, and other optometrists she worked with reported the same.

She was concerned by the number of children and teenagers who were having problems with their eyes.

“Kids are learning on tablets right from when they are learning the alphabet. It is too early to know if there is a direct correlation with screen time and these issues, but until we do we need to be careful,” Ms Shea (left) said She said it was very hard to diagnose eye conditions in young children.

“If things are blurry they won’t realise it’s anything out of the ordinary, they would just think it’s just how it’s meant to be,” she said.

Working with screens was often unavoidable for people, but there were simple things they could do to minimise the risk of hurting their eyes, she said.

NZ Association of Optometrists national director Lesley Frederikson said most people were aware of the damage ultra violet light could do to their eyes,

FRUSTRATED: Amy McLellan-Minty says the current national default hours work well.

“But police have no issues with licensed premises that operator responsibly and ensure patrons have a good time safely.”

Students in the city have voiced concerns over plans to limit late-night venues.

It could turn away potential students from coming to the city, with an additional “potential negative effect” being an increase in flat parties, James Addington, president of University of Canterbury Students’ Association, says.

“Feedback has included concerns regarding both perception and reality of whether Christchurch could claim to have a vibrant nightlife when compared to other cities around the country, in a post-quake environment.”

Hospitality New Zealand says the local alcohol policy is too premature, especially when the rebuilding city is still “in a state of flux”.

Ms McLellan-Minty says the current national default hours work well, saying there’s only two Christchurch premises that now trade post-3am.

but not that exposure to blueviolet light had also been linked to retina damage.

Even when using screens set to maximum brightness, the amount of light emitted should not be enough to damage your eyes, studies have found.

But staring at a screen for a long time without a break could cause problems.

“The main issue is that people are not well adapted to staring directly at a close stimulus for long periods and often fail to blink enough while staring at the screen,” Dr Frederikson said.

•Try to look away from your screen at least every 20 minutes, and focus your eyes on something far away for at least 20 seconds to relax the muscles in your eyes. Try to take a short break from the screen every hour.

•When concentrating on a screen most people blink only about a third as often as they usually would, meaning your eyes dry out.

Make a conscious effort to blink more.

•Your screen should be about as bright as your surroundings. If it is too bright or too dark it could strain your eyes.

close, it’s a huge concern.

“If we could show there was a huge amount of harm being caused by those 1am premises then we would have to reassess it, but the simple matter is, there isn’t,” Ms McLellan-Minty said.

“Licensees are frustrated because they say, “Apart from close our doors, what else can we do?”

More onus needs to be placed on the misbehaving patron, rather than cracking down on the license holder whenever someone falls foul of the law, Ms McLellan-Minty says.

She wants New Zealand to adopt the example of some Australian centres where police have the powers to issue on-the-spot fines of $550 to any member of the public being a nuisance on a licensed premise.

“People would soon get the message that it’s not okay to act like a Muppet on a licensed premise,” she said.

“Because at the moment, the only one that gets pinged for bad public behaviour is the licensee and the managers, the public walks away with nothing.

“We feel like we’re beating our heads up against a brick wall.”

Viewpoint EDITORIAL A VOTE for Lianne Dalziel is a vote for stability and continuity in Christchurch for the next three years.

Dalziel has been a steady hand at the wheel of the council since she was elected in 2013 with a massive majority when Bob Parker pulled out of the race.

The achievements of the current city council during its term should not be understated; they have fought hard behind the scenes to rescue the city’s potentially catastrophic insurance situation, and assets like City Care and the buses are still in public hands and returning dividends to the city.

The insurance outcome has blunted what could have been a sharp sting to residents’ pockets when their rate demands arrive in the post.

Whether those assets remain in public hands during the next council’s term remains to be seen – but at least the war chest is full of tools to fight with.

The assets are a handy back-up if times get tough, and the cost of big ticket rebuild items starts to fall more on the city’s hands. The convention centre, a big sports stadium (if one is ever built) will cost a lot to run.

In the past three years Dalziel

The Star

has moved from being a Labour MP with a trade union background, to the middle ground and one that has required much co-operation with her parliamentary rival, National.

The relationship with the Government, particularly Gerry Brownlee and the now defunct Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority has not always been a cosy one.

Brownlee seems to take delight in saying what he feels about the city council, and at times that has been inflammatory.

Dalziel has taken those barbs on the chin.

CERA announcements on the rebuild were often released to the public and city council at the same time; reinforcing who was The Boss.

In April this year, Dalziel said she was mentally exhausted and was in two minds whether to stand again. The criticism appeared to have got to her.

Six months on and she is weeks away from being re-elected.

With three years under her belt, the constraints of central Government fading, Dalziel now has a clearer highway to negotiate the city’s future.

The city needs Dalziel returned as Mayor. Make sure you vote.

Garry Moore: The battle It’s not only the little guy who struggles with EQC and insurance companies over earthquake repairs.

Former mayor Garry Moore battles on too PEOPLE IN the North Island, quite sincerely, often ask me how we are getting on now that the earthquakes have stopped.

They ask what’s it like now that the city is rebuilt?

It’s hard to answer without sounding a moaner. I mumble that it’s slowly coming right.

Most people can’t believe that our family still lives in a house which our insurance company is fighting us over. They think it’s all sorted out. I smile nicely and say no it’s not, for us, and many thousands of other people.

Pam and I aren’t any different from anybody else. It took five years to get out of EQC’s clutches. Each time they sent another set of “assessors” to our place, things kept being

taken off the list.

The number of piles which needed replacing. Pre-existing damage etc etc. I reckoned if we waited enough years we would be given a bill from EQC for what we owed them for being frauds and even pretending that there had been an earthquake.

So we engaged a professional and had a cadastral study done on our house. The earthquakes have taught us heaps of things we didn’t know about before. I had never heard of a cadastral survey. Anyway we got one and all of a sudden our knowledge of how damaged our house was

(who were we to have an opinion we have now only lived here for 37 years) proven correct and EQC paid out fully and sent us to Southern Response. Yippee.

The first team we worked with at SR were terrific. They had the best analysis of our house yet.

Then somebody decided that the team we were working with had to be changed. We resisted this.

However, over the next few months, this still happened. We have had some wonderful people within SR and Arrow we have worked with, but the bureaucracy is unbelievable. Everything seems to be complicated.

with EQC still rages During this process we have engaged our own lawyer, Grant Cameron and his staff member Laura Stone have been fantastic.

We have again paid for another engineering report because SR were stuffing us around. We gave a briefing to our engineer: “Please tell us about our foundations.”

His team came back inside a week and said: “They need total replacement.”

SR then decided that they wanted another engineer to check our engineer’s findings. At this point I failed the test of the reasonable man on the Clapham Omnibus (look that one up on Google).

SR backed down and said that they would only get a “desktop” study done. Well these engineers were even more emphatic than our ones and strengthened the recommendations. I might note that I think we have had nine engineering reports on our house so far. Now SR have accepted we need new foundations . . .

So when somebody, quite genuinely asks how we are getting on, I pause and think about nine people in our house a few week’s ago.

One team was to assess what needed to be done to restore the

house. Another team, led by a person who had failed the politeness test at Sunday School, was looking at a rebuild. One man, with a camera, was assessing preexisting damage. How the hell he did his job I wouldn’t know as we haven’t done a thing to our house now for six years. It’s a mess. I guess that will be another fight!

I have to say I found all these people in our house intimidating.

I’m hardly a shrinking violet.

Imagine if I respected bureaucracies and took their word for what they were doing? What if we had accepted the full and final offer EQC made to us of $44K? What if we were an old person who was just tired and intimidated by the whole process? What if we were a widow, on her own, who believed that EQC were genuine and that $44K would fix

her house?

How many people like this have been sucked in by EQC and insurance company cost-cutting?

So, when I was asked how we were getting on I just smile now.

They wouldn’t believe me if I told them what is really happening to us down here. They’d say we were making it up. I could tell them that we are just one of heaps of families in this situation.

Nah. I’ll just smile and be grateful that they care enough to ask.

Jennifer Riley – I was sad to see Fataki, the great ape, on the cover of The Star alongside a story celebrating 40 years of Orana Wildlife Park’s operations, with no discussion on the ethics of keeping these animals in captivity.

Anyone who has read Galdikas’ Reflections on Eden or Fossey’s Gorillas in the Mist knows that primates are social creatures and will often fight to the death to protect their young family members from being kidnapped.

Ripping them from their families and habitats, just so that we can peer at them at wildlife parks like Orana is plain wrong. And, I’m dismayed to hear the park bragging about plans to bring a sole orangutan to its facility.

The idea that they, “want our gorillas to behave as gorillas would in the wild” sounds like a nice idea, but in reality anyone with a shred of commonsense would realise that their lives in captivity are very far from the freedom they would experience in their wild habitat among their own kind.

Even though the great apes Orana has procured are from

another zoo, having these types of animals on display is increasingly unpalatable. In the wake of Harambe’s death at a Cincinnati Zoo due to a too close encounter, is it any wonder that people are increasingly turning to alternatives like David Attenborough’s films, which bring wild animals into our living rooms without disturbing their freedom.

I look forward to a time when using animals for our own entertainment is no longer fashionable, but until then, will keep speaking on behalf of those who cannot, in the hope that one day we will evolve.

Viewpoint Spending shows continued recovery I AM excited to hear of the strong growth in retail and hospitality spending in Christchurch, which confirms the ongoing recovery.

The latest figures from Statistics New Zealand, which releases the Christchurch Retail Trade Indicator each quarter, show an almost five per cent increase in total retail and hospitality spending since June 2015. This is great news for Christchurch residents and businesses.

Growth in retail and hospitality provides an economic base for continued growth in confidence as businesses return to central Christchurch and the wider region.

Since June 2010, Christchurch has experienced 34 per cent growth in this figure, while the national average was 28 per cent.

Considering the widespread destruction the earthquakes caused and the scale of the recovery over the last six years, I am heartened by these latest statistics.

Visitor numbers to Christchurch have supported this growth a great deal.

Christchurch Airport has reported an all-time record of 6.3 million passengers through its doors, with the city hosting 2.7

This continued growth is the

result of a strong rebuild and regeneration process and is the key to securing the future of Christchurch as a vibrant and self-sufficient city.

We can expect more of this strong performance, as new hospitality outlets are opening and new retail tenants are signing up all the time.

The BNZ Centre had a successful stage one opening and stage two is set to open in December.

It will include Michael Hill, Pandora, Spark and New Zealand fashion store Repertoire.

Another retail centre, the ANZ Centre, is well under way and completion is expected early next year.

All signs point towards a bumper Christmas shopping season, offering a vital opportunity for the city to secure incomes for businesses and workers.

Gerry Brownlee is Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration

Sue Silk – You have got to be joking. This is a very earthquake prone area and they want to start drilling! They are mad. A Government completely out of control.

Andrea Matthews – No, just no! The image of NZ as “clean and green” is taking a hammering already with our massive dairy operations, let’s not screw up our coastline as well.

Craig Orr – We’ve sold the right to drain our water dry, what’s the difference? I think a major reform of everything pertaining to our natural resources is needed. It’s not good.

Ivan Dane – I think there may be some oil under the beehive . . . do you think they’d mind if we do a bit of fracking there? It’s perfectly harmless . . .

We said: A cycling group says Jellie Park Recreation and Sports Centre users who drive to the facility should be charged for parking. Spokes Canterbury chairman Don Babe said instead of the city council’s proposal to offer free gear, food or discount cards if people travelled by cycle or used the bus, they should simply charge for car parking.

You said: Rachael Reid-McCallum – No to paying for parking. We like many other east Christchurch people drive 25min or more just to use this facility. To pay for parking also would be disappointing and a deterrent for many!

Mark Bryant – No way.

When you have kids to take to swimming lessons, which isn’t exactly cheap to start with, and then charge parking on top? Not fair at all. We pay enough in our rates already as well.

Andrea Lamont – What about those who cannot walk far, use walkers and wheelchairs and use this facility for rehabilitation and physical fitness?

Dave Moore – Charge cyclists to use the cycle stands, they don’t pay for anything else. I watched a group of them using a New Regent St business’s outside tables and chairs, having brought their own packed lunches and drinks from home.

We said: The Government has revealed a new action plan that will see animal shelters like the SPCA banned from re-homing dogs of certain breeds.

The SPCA is completely against this breed specific legislation. It believes that each individual dog should be judged based on temperament and behaviour – not breed.

You said: Stephanie Hagerty – The new rules are rubbish. Doesn’t stop people turning these innocent dogs into dangerous dogs. Register the owners and if you’re seen out with a dog it can be checked at any time, otherwise the dog is taken and rehomed.

Annette Lawson – Many years ago the SPCA opposed the importation of the pit bull breed of dog into New Zealand.

The Government allowed them in and now the Government is condemning them. If pit bulls and any other breed of dog are raised lovingly and trained then they will be a tremendous part of that family. I have always been in favour of licensing the dog owner, not the dog.

Miranda Hudson – Which breeds? I’m assuming pit bulls.

People are always picking on pitties even though they’re wonderful animals.

We said: The city council has given the green light to a $7.2 million upgrade of Victoria St and surrounding areas. It will get rid of 20 per cent of the current car parking on Victoria St and surrounding traffic routes to make way for wider footpaths and

cycleways, new cycle parking, trees, street furniture and lighting.

You said: Nic Davies – Fantastic, those who offer a good customer service will still get service if there is or isn’t car parking outside the front door plus it will be more people-friendly. Level streets won’t bring a good mix of people in to the city. Let the work begin.

Don Robertson –Nice day in town today – took two sons and bikes in. Unfortunately, there were no bike stands directly outside the shops we wanted to visit, so we couldn’t buy anything.

Ann Corkin – Accessible to who? Christchurch actively discourages anyone to spend money in the centre. Fewer parking spaces, fewer customers!

October 1-2

WITH THE first week of the school holidays well under way, the news is once again full of reports of parents struggling with the seemingly endless stream of requests for “voluntary donations” from their schools.

One story even highlighted the lengths some schools were having to go to mask the fact these donations are voluntary, with some schools telling parents they are “school fees.”

What I hear pretty consistently from parents in my electorate is a sense that these fees just keep rising year after year, and that there’s real pressure to pay them. For a lot of people, the idea of having to fork out ever more money to send your child to school in our supposedly free public education system seems pretty baffling.

The reason schools have become so reliant on these fees however is actually pretty simple: persistent under-funding from the Government has left them with few other options. This budget alone, National froze operational spending in our education system. That means schools with frozen budgets but rising costs and growing rolls have to look elsewhere to fill the gap.

What’s worse is that while our

Megan Woods public schools are being starved of funding, the Government has been pouring millions of dollars of public money into privately run for profit charter schools.

And believe it or not, there’s a chance this problem’s going to get worse. Right now, the Government is pushing a new funding model for schools called “global budgets”, which is close to the old unpopular idea of bulk funding.

Under this model, schools are given a block grant to cover teachers, facilities and everything else you need to run a school.

What almost always happens under these models is schools find the budget doesn’t stretch to cover everything so the temptation is to cut back on teachers, moving to bigger class sizes or to lean more on parents to come up with the money.

We urgently need a better approach in our schools – one that recognises how important education is, and that prioritises our public schools, rather than asking parents to dig into their pockets.

Savills negotiates big Christchurch deal

By Colin Taylor SAVILLS REAL Estate has negotiated the sale by Countrywide Property of two prominent central city office and retail buildings, at 104 Victoria St and 32 Oxford Tce, to Silverfin Capital Ltd for $58 million following deals.

“The sale is the largest property deal in Christchurch this year,” said Jonathan Lyttle, managing director of Savills’ Christchurch office.

“It follows the city’s largest lease deal of the year – also negotiated by Savills – to Hoyts for a central city site opposite the bus interchange.

Mr Lyttle said the sales have been concluded at a time when good quality commercial investment stock in Christchurch is in high demand and increasingly difficult to come by.

“New investment assets in good locations are highly sought after in Christchurch. There is very limited supply of prime investment stock and the few buildings that are coming to the market are getting snapped up – we had several offers for both these properties. This demonstrates the ongoing appeal of

good quality commercial assets, which offer investors very good returns in a low interest rate environment.”

Silverfin Capital intends to sell down the buildings to individual investors, offering 634 proportionate ownership units in the assets priced at $50,000 each. The company is a licensed manager of Managed Investment Schemes that invests in real property or property syndicates/ real property proportionate ownership schemes.

Cheryl Macaulay, managing director of Silverfin Capital, said the buildings represent excellent

investment stock.

“Both these assets are well located, with great tenants, good lease tenures and excellent seismic strength. They are the type of solid investment assets that Silverfin is happy to put its name to and add to our growing portfolio around the country.”

Silverfin, which began operating earlier this year, has also offered proportionate ownership schemes in commercial buildings in Hamilton and Auckland this year.

Mr Lyttle said he and his fellow Savills agents had noted a “definite trend” of greater num-

bers of residential investors looking to buy commercial property.

The building at 32 Oxford Tce is mostly leased to Canterbury District Health Board.

“The already tight commercial investment market is now under even more pressure, with interest rates lower and loan to valuation ratio restrictions in place.

This is prompting individuals, who might have previously only owned residential investments, to look at diversifying into commercial property. Proportionate ownership is a great way for these individual buyers to access the superior returns that are

available on commercial assets.”

The refurbished five-level office and hospitality building at 104 Victoria St is home to United States-based GPS software firm Telogis, Chinwag Eathai restaurant & bar and Total Fitness gym.

Countrywide Property bought the earthquake-damaged 3438 sq m building and completed major refurbishment and strengthening work to 100 per cent of new building standard in 2014.

The three tenancies generate annual net rental income of just over $1.4m, with rent reviews built into the leases. The 1415 sq m site has dual street entry points from Victoria St and Montreal St, as well as on-site car parking.

During Countrywide’s redevelopment project, the building was gutted, strengthened, extended and re-clad in glass.

Pedestrian access through the site links Oxford Tce to Tuam St. It is the first completed building in ‘the health precinct’ and provides the latest sustainable technology, including sensorcontrolled LED lighting and high-performance glazing.

Migrants among NZ’s richest consumers

MIGRANTS ARE among New Zealand’s richest and most sophisticated consumers, a new study reveals.

Seventy-two per cent of migrants consider themselves financially stable in comparison to just over 50 per cent of New Zealanders, research conducted by investment consultants HT Group and research company Windshift has found.

Research showed most migrants were young, highly employed and well educated with 65 per cent holding a bachelors degree or higher – a percentage almost 30 per cent higher than that of Kiwis.

In spite of immigration being a hot topic in recent months, HT Group managing director Mike Hall-Taylor said there had not been talk on the opportunities for New Zealand businesses targeting migrant customers.

“There has been much discussion about immigration recently, but none has really centred on what a huge opportunity this group offers New Zealand businesses.”

Most companies based their thinking around bicultural Kiwi models rather than thinking about the messages that would make migrant consumers feel embraced by and engaged with Kiwi brands, Mr Hall-Taylor said.

GOING UP: The construction of new schools such as Rolleston College and West Rolleston Primary School has helped boost building activity in Selwyn.

Building pumps up Selwyn economy SELWYN’S economy has hit new highs thanks largely to a commercial building boom and the district’s strong retail sector.

Data compiled by economic analysts Infometrics showed the value of non-residential building consents in Selwyn grew by 40 per cent for the year to June. During this time, consents valued at $152 million were lodged, up from $109 million for the previous 12 months.

District council building manager Vanessa Beavon (right) said the figures reflected a number of factors including the building of new schools in Rolleston,

consents for new shops to be developed in Rolleston, West Melton and Darfield and the continuing development of new businesses at Izone.

Non-residential consent values increased by 16 per cent in Canterbury and by 15 per cent nationally in the year to June.

Selwyn retail trade was also up by 6.4 per cent, well up on national retail activity figures of 2.8 per cent.

Overall, Selwyn’s gross domestic product grew by 3.8 per cent, significantly above the Canterbury average of 0.9 per cent, and above the New

Zealand figure of 2.7 per cent.

Selwyn’s unemployment rate of two per cent was the fifth lowest among New Zealand territorial authorities.

Canterbury’s unemployment rate was 3.2 per cent and New Zealand’s 5.2 per cent.

There were 1284 new dwelling consents issued in the district, up 0.4 per cent on the previous year. The 2014/2015 year was an exceptionally busy year for Selwyn as Statistics New Zealand estimated that the district’s population grew by 6.5 per cent in the year to June 2015 – the largest increase recorded

by any New Zealand territorial authority since 2004.

The number of international migrants into Selwyn has also been increasing – with the district experiencing a net increase of 433 new international migrants arriving in the year to June, up from 219 for the previous year. Nationally New Zealand received around 69,000 new international migrants and Canterbury around 7000.

Selwyn’s tourist numbers also rose, with 94,649 guest nights recorded in the district (covering both international and domestic visitors), up 4.4 per cent from figures for the year to June 2015.

EQC UPDATE

25

KEEPING YOU INFORMED | SEPTEMBER 2016

EQC confirms Canterbury staff numbers for 2017 The Earthquake Commission (EQC) has confirmed the shape of the organisation for 2017, including the number of positions in Canterbury.

“As our work in Canterbury enters its final phase in 2017, we will obviously need to be smaller.

From January 2017, EQC will be an organisation of about 458 people. Of these, at least 216 will be based in Christchurch,” EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson says.

“The new structure retains a core of specialist staff who will continue to meet the needs of our remaining Canterbury customers.

“In 2017, EQC will continue to resolve remedial inquiries on properties where we have managed a repair, and to resolve claims for drains damaged by

the earthquakes. There is also a range of administrative and financial tasks to be completed,” Mr Simpson says.

Remedial inquiries An important focus for EQC in 2017 will be resolving the remaining remedial inquiries from Canterbury customers who have had a managed repair.

With about 68,000 managed repairs carried out as part of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme (CHRP) largely completed, EQC and Fletcher EQR have jointly agreed a new approach to completing the remaining remedial work in Canterbury.

From January 2017, EQC will expand its role managing all remedial inquiries to include management of any resulting remedial repairs.

This means it will liaise with customers and

contractors to complete any additional work, where it’s required.

“The new approach will streamline decision making by bringing all the elements of resolving remedial inquiries into one organisation,” Mr Simpson says.

Fletcher has agreed to continue its role in 2017 but likely with a smaller team and a focus on managing any underfloor work arising from the joint CHRP subfloor review. More detailed proposals on this will be finalised over the next month or two.

As well as its work in Canterbury for 2017, EQC needs to be ready to respond to any future natural disaster events anywhere in New Zealand and continue its work of negotiating and managing natural disaster reinsurance for the country. EQC will also continue settling the average 5,000 to

3,000 kids descend on the Alpine Fault locations without having to leave the classroom. From Cape Reinga to the Bluff – we’ve got you covered.

Expert Sam and teacher Shelley talk about tsunami risk on the West Coast.

EQC’s newest virtual field trip, “Geohazards”, was launched last month with 130 classes taking part (that’s over 3,000

Kiwi kids). The CORE Education LEARNZ virtual field trips allow New Zealand’s school children to visit some of our most fascinating

A LEARNZ teacher travels alongside subject experts to go on location and communicate their experiences with students through online video and audio feeds.

The trips are designed to help improve understanding of geohazards, how we as a nation manage those hazards, and to raise awareness of EQC’s role in helping build New Zealand’s resilience.

Last month’s trip was the ninth funded by EQC and it explored earthquakes, landslips and tsunami on the West Coast as well as what might happen when the Alpine Fault next ruptures.

On the Coast, LEARNZ teacher Shelley Hersey joined Alistair Davies, a natural hazards PhD student from the University of Canterbury, and Dr Sam Hampton, organiser of geology field programmes in New Zealand and University of Canterbury lecturer.

They showed students where you can see the Alpine Fault in the landscape, they pointed out scars created by past earthquakes and explained how tsunami, in lakes as well as the sea, could be triggered by quakes.

All our field trips are created so that teachers can continue to use them anytime. To experience this virtual field trip and more, visit www.learnz.org.nz

$25million paid out for Feb 2016 quake claims The Earthquake Commission has passed the halfway mark for settling the February 2016 earthquake claims, says EQC’s February 2016 Event Response Manager, Jayne Lapin.

“With the help of customers providing most information up front – claims are taking an average of three weeks to reach settlement.” she said.

Ms Lapin says that of the total 14,574 claims received for the 14 and 29 February earthquakes this year, followed by the aftershocks, EQC has resolved 8,595 by cash settlement of just over $25 million as at 19 September.

Ms Lapin says it is heartening to see that the new approach which uses both on site and phonebased assessments has empowered customers to provide their earthquake damage data, supported by photographs, was working well.

“You can tell that Cantabrians know what is and isn’t earthquake damage, because up to 75% of the claims received so far have been accepted, and average $4,761 per claim.

“We have been surveying every customer who has been through the process and whose claims have been resolved – whether their claims were accepted or declined. We wanted to see how the process worked so we could make changes as we went where we needed to.

“To date, 87% agreed that EQC valued and used their time wisely when dealing with them through the claims process.

EQC will have contacted almost every customer to discuss the details of their February claims by the end of September to book their assessment.

“This means that, other than people who delay their claim or whom we can’t get hold of, we will meet our target to resolve all claims by the end of 2016, hopefully earlier,” Ms Lapin said.

EQC is continuing to work with customers who have lodged claims from the Canterbury sequence earthquakes, including those in the Canterbury Home Repair (CHRP) and land programmes, and the settlement of the February claims will not slow the progress of these programmes.

EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson

8,000 natural disaster claims received nationally each year, funding research to the tune of $16 million per year, and educating the public on natural hazards and how to mitigate them.

EQC sets out process for remedial requests

The Earthquake Commission (EQC) has streamlined its process for handling new remedial requests from customers received from 1 August, 2016.

EQC’s Head of Dwelling Settlement, Michael Price, says the new process aims for faster resolution with customers having the opportunity to provide information upfront and state their preference for a cash settlement or a managed repair where remedial work is required.

The changes have been introduced after positive customer feedback on the process used to manage claims from the February 2016 earthquake, where customers had the opportunity to submit more information upfront to enable quicker turnaround.

“Many customers going through the February 2016 claims management process are positive or very positive about their experience,” Mr Price says.

“EQC will now use this approach for new remedial requests, and customers will be asked to send in information such as photographs and builders’ quotes.”

Mr Price says while cash settlement will provide a quicker resolution, it may not suit everyone.

“So if a customer prefers that a contractor do the work, then EQC will arrange for that to happen during 2017.

EQC’s Community Contact Team and independent customer advocate groups will be available to support any cash-settled customers who aren’t confident in sourcing their own contractors,” says Mr Price.

Of the approximate 6,900 open remedial requests currently on EQC’s books, 3,000 properties have been identified as not being able to have any remedial repair completed before 2017. The new process, while largely designed for new remedial requests, will be available to these customers also and EQC is making contact with them to ask if they would prefer a cash settlement or wait for a managed repair during 2017.

Overcoming the hurdle of daylight saving TO BE honest, I dreaded putting the clocks forward last weekend.

With four young girls under 7, light time equates to play time and so I expected it a challenge to get the kids into bed while the sun was still shining.

I am delighted to report, however, that we are so far, so good. Perhaps this year’s (unintentional) preparation for the annual spring-forward of time has meant we’ve had a relatively smooth transition into the summer season.

I guess it started with a Friday night, end of term, impromptu fish ’n’ chip evening with our neighbours. As the kids piled over, they were sent outside to burn some energy while the mothers sat inside with a winddown-wine.

The dads came home with dinner around 6pm, after which, the kids settled into a movie. It turned into a later than usual bedtime for everyone, which inadvertently led to a rather slow and quiet Saturday for all.

Tiredness, combined with drizzly and gloomy weather, meant the kids were happy to potter between puzzles, art and craft, and finish the day with a luxurious bubble-bath. I decided to make the transition early, and so wound the clocks forward at

Melissa McDonnell

5pm to 6pm, so changing the time before they hit the hay.

The big girls didn’t bat an eyelid, the twins were none the wiser, and no one questioned the fact it was still light outside. On that basis, they were all in bed by 6.45pm adjusted time (5.45pm normal), and asleep by 7pm (which was really 6pm).

I crossed my fingers that they were in for a long sleep, and for once, lady luck was on my side.

My (nearly) three-year-old twins were first to wake at the new time of 6.55am, and as it was still dark outside, I convinced them to come into our bed for stories and cuddles until the big girls appeared at 8am. Result.

Come Sunday evening, I had

them all in bed again by 6.45pm, and asleep by 7.15pm. I was amazed. This was working out much better than I had expected, and so I followed suit with an early night in a bid to recoup my lost hour of sleep.

Murphy’s Law saw me wake at 5.50am. However, I dozed happily until I heard the chatter start at 6.50am. Thinking that the previous two nights’ sleep had been an historical best for our family, it provided me with the happy prospect that our usual 5.30am start could be a thing of the past.

However, they say that it can take up to a week after the clocks change for one’s circadian rhythm to fully adjust, and so I’m not counting my chickens just yet.

However, with school holidays upon us, any such problems with time and sleep adjustment will hopefully be absorbed by the luxury of having no fixed plans, slow mornings and flexible schedules. Fingers crossed anyway.

WARM WINNER: Kate Shaw has had $25,000 worth of central heating installed in her West Melton home after winning the 2016 Star Home & Leisure Show prize. Mrs Shaw won a home heating system from Central Heating New Zealand who have just put the finishing touches on the system.

Starship fundraiser

The Star

Cancer survivor’s tea towel charity EARLIER THIS month 19-year-old cancer survivor Ruby Seeto joined a group of Starship children at the national children’s hospital that saved her life to run a creative classroom session.

It coincides with the launch of Ruby’s latest fundraising tea towel, Watermelon ice pops for Starship.

This year marks a decade since Ruby’s diagnosis at age nine – a rare cancer requiring surgery to remove a 1.6kg tumour from her liver.

In that time, the Aucklander, who is currently studying in Wellington, has made a big difference with a simple idea – designing and selling tea towels.

Watermelon ice pops for Starship is Ruby’s 10th tea towel design.

She partnered with Kiwi linen and homeware brand, Wallace Cotton, to produce the last eight and together they have raised more than $400,000 for the Starship Foundation.

The new design incorporates a recipe for watermelon ice blocks with edible flowers, beautifully detailed in vintage summer hues.

Also on offer is a colouring-in version, complete with coloured fabric markers so children (or

adults) can add their own creative twist.

In support of the campaign, Nice Blocks has adapted Ruby’s recipe for commercial sale and will release a limited edition ice block later this year.

Money raised from the sale of the tea towels and Nice Blocks will help establish an ovarian tissue cryopreservation banking protocol for New Zealand Paediatric Haematology/Oncology Services to benefit young cancer patients.

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the only means of preserving fertility for pre-pubertal girls who are at high risk of infertility related to cancer treatment. While international and New Zealand recommendations are that this technology be made available to girls in this high risk group, it is not currently funded in New Zealand.

The Starship Foundation funding will be used to support the costs associated with retrieval of ovarian tissue (via laparoscopic surgery at the time of central line insertion or other standard procedure), specialist training of technical staff, processing of the tissue at Fertility Associates and ongoing storage of the tissue.

GOOD CAUSE: Ruby Seeto with the Watermelon ice pops for Starship tea towel she designed.

During Ruby’s cancer treatment, she spent 12 months at Starship Hospital undergoing intensive chemotherapy. “It is so rewarding to give back to the amazing hospital that helped me get better, connecting with children who are going through their own tough journey,” she said.

“I am also very proud to be

supporting the ovarian tissue cryopreservation project with this year’s tea towel. I think it is very important that the option of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and storage is made available to all eligible girls nationwide, so no one is disadvantaged from their cancer treatment.”

Brad Clark, chief executive of the Starship Foundation, said:

POLLY & GRANT Weekdays 6-9am thehits.co.nz

“It has been a joy to see the Ruby Seeto and Wallace Cotton collaboration grow over the years from a basic concept to this latest beautiful creation.”

Wallace Cotton director Paula Wallace said: “We are delighted with this latest ‘fruitful’ collaboration to help a cause we feel very proud to champion.”

The Watermelon ice pops for Starship tea towels ($10), aprons ($15) and a black and white tea towel with coloured markers ($16) are now available to purchase in-store and online at www.wallacecotton.com They are 100% cotton and $6 from every sale (all the proceeds after costs) goes to the Starship Foundation.

The watermelon Nice Blocks will be available at selected New World supermarkets and other independent retailers from Labour weekend 2016 for a limited time. Thirty cents from every single block (RRP $3) and 50c from every four-pack (RRP $8.99) will go to the Starship Foundation.

Sweeten up your day with cake Penelope’s Cakery Deli has opened in New Regent St. Gabrielle Stuart reports A LEGO figure, a shark breaching the water, a five tier wedding cake, or even a mathematical equation: When it comes to cake orders, Penny Ritchie has to be ready for anything.

But her biggest challenge this year has not been fondant or buttercream.

She opened the doors of her New Regent St shop, Penelope’s Cakery Deli, last month.

As well as selling food and her own custom-made cakes there, it was designed as a place where home decorators could get support, advice and supplies, which were difficult to find in Canterbury, she said.

Although she had always enjoyed creating cakes for her children or friends, she only began decorating cakes commercially about four years ago.

She owned a confectionery

SOMETHING SWEET: Penny Ritchie cuts into a tasty treat at her new shop and cake supplies store.

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN store in Rangiora, and she said it had been a challenge to attract customers there after the earthquakes.

Branching into cake making was a way to turn the store into a destination, she said.

But finding the supplies and

tools she needed had often been challenging.

“It was just through not wanting to say no to anything, I forced myself to learn,” she said.

She hoped the Christchurch shop would make it easier for beginner cake decorators to give

it a go.

“We have moulds and cutters for most things and, with so much information and tutorials on the internet, now it is very easy for people to get into it, even if they have never done it before,” she said.

Although creating some cakes could be a challenge, she said delivering them was often the most terrifying part of the job.

“Some are quite elaborate wedding cakes that have to be absolutely perfect and the biggest challenge is working out how to transport them,” she said.

“I always take an emergency repair kit, but I haven’t ever – touch wood – needed to use it.”

TREAT: Penny Ritchie has created a selection of exotic cakes for customers.

Gardening Gardening Advice QUESTION

I would like some suggestions on what to plant to attract the ‘good’ insects like bees, ladybugs and praying mantis to my garden.

with Be in to win an

Congratulations!

Today’s winning question came from Sasha Williams

ANSWER

While bees are attracted to many plants, they do have their preferences that are worth adhering to when planting colour into your spring/summer garden.

The colour of a flower is significant. For instance, blue, purple, white and yellow are the bees favourite colours. They cannot see red as it appears black to them. Bees have a distinct fondnss for plants that produce a flower that has a large single row of petals which makes landing and the retrieval of nectar that much easier. Plants that produce a rich source of nutrients are always popular with bees, such as flowering annuals like asters, sunflowers, cosmos and zinnias. Herbs are also very popular providing an excellent supply of nectar; such as basil, coriander, chives, lavender, lemon balm, mint, parsley rosemary sage and thyme.

Praying mantis are known as generalist predators, in that they will eat nearly any insect they can find. This includes moths, crickets, flies, beetles, bees and caterpillars.

Ladybugs are also generalist predators and they consume aphids, scale, mites, mealy bug, small caterpillars, insect eggs and pupae, whiteflies and mites.

Other products to try: Daltons Premium Garden Mix, Daltons Rose and Flower Mix. Check out our How To Grow guides at our website www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides for more helpful tips and advice.

The best cropping veggie garden is one that’s well prepared, and nutrient rich soil is critical to its success.

Each pack is valued at $85 and contains:

How do you attract ladybirds and praying mantis to your garden?

Strangely by providing an abundant food source for them, which of course means infestations of a desirable insect. However, a backyard garden with a range of trees and shrub will invariably contain significant populations of both praying mantis and lady bugs.

Produce colour with flowering powerhouses More flowers anyone? Rachel Vogan says to create time and space for colour in between vegetable planting

Strawberries

How is your patch looking? If you haven’t done so already, cut off all those dead leaves from any older plants and any rogue side runners. Add a generous handful of strawberry fertiliser around the base of each plant.

For new patches, it’s vital you prepare the soil first by digging it over and adding strawberry mix, this give the roots the best possible chance to spring into action. The cold nights trigger the plants to produce flowers, so the earlier you plant them the better. No need to wrap this crop in cotton wool.

New double-flowered petunia ‘Surfinia Double Salmon’.

When you are not up to your armpits in the vege patch, look to pots, baskets and tubs to add a blast of colour to the garden. These containers do for the garden what a scarf or a necklace does to a lady’s outfit; they punctuate and create focal points, soften hard edges and brighten anything dull and grey.

This summer should be all about flowers, and the earlier your summer pots and tubs are planted the better. Hitting the shops now are new hybrids of petunia and calibrachoa; flowering powerhouses that take a bit of beating, with most of them delivering blooms continuously from late spring until the end of autumn. Look for this brand new double-flowered petunia ‘Surfinia Double Salmon’ – for six months of the year all it wants to do is flower.

In Flower: Bacopa Epic Series

If you are after a plant that forms a neat dome, with a soft tumbling habit that will cascade over the edge of a basket, window box or tub, then look for these wee gems. Bacopas are making a comeback and this new Epic series look marvellous.

With increased flowering ability and tolerance to hot weather, their colours appeal too, coming in a range of deep pink, blue and white. They look a picture in the shops now – hunt a few down.

These perky wee numbers would help punctuate any summer wedding with a twinkle of colour.

Gardening Guide The Daisy Chain I didn’t realise it but a daisy symbolises innocence, purity and new beginnings. I love the simplicity of daisies. So simple, yet still so beautiful and full of colour, they will brighten your garden or pots.

Daisies are easy to grow. They are hardy perennials that love full sun and require regular watering in the summer months.

Before planting add plenty of compost to the existing soil so it is rich in nutrients and free draining. In my opinion daisies always look better planted in clumps of three or five. This gives the illusion the plant is more substantial, and it makes a huge impact when smothered with hundreds of flowers.

As a general rule daisies are not bothered by insects or diseases. Feed your daisies three times a year with Oderings General Garden Fertiliser. Trim back the plants by one-fifth after each burst of flowers has finished. This will maintain a healthy, compact growth and encourage another flush of flowers. In February chop the plants back one-half and then prune again after winter.

Sassy Daisies

The Sassy Argyranthemum flowers from early spring until winter. Available in white, yellow, red or pink with some double flowering varieties.

Crop Protection

Young seedlings and cuttings appreciate some TLC when young. If you don’t have room for a glasshouse, mock up something at home (Kristina Jensen shows us how on page 51). Maybe prop up an old window on some bricks to provide some shelter, or look at a mini propagating house, which is ideal for using indoors when sowing a few packets of seeds. The larger portable outdoor cold frames are brilliant, too. Just remember that once seedlings are starting to form their first sets of true leaves they need plenty of air movement. Make sure you can prop the door open or open a vent so the young plants don’t fry on a hot day.

Vegetables

Plant potatoes and yams now. Both need a well-dug soil in a warm sunny spot, and remember to blend in potato food prior to planting. Sow rows of carrots, radish, parsnip and beetroot; these are all best sown directly into the ground. In regards to lettuces, jam in as many as you can, and not just in the garden – they thrive in pots, tubs and baskets. Seeds can be sown, too, and will germinate readily uncovered outside, so save your precious room in the greenhouse or on the windowsill for frost-sensitive seeds like tomato, chilli and basil. To make sure you get the biggest and juiciest asparagus spears this season, sprinkle round some vegetable fertiliser now and give beds a drench with a liquid fertiliser.

The Sassy Argyranthemum Aside from the amazing flowers, the best feature is the compact plant habit, which doesn’t need constant trimming to keep a nice shape. The Sassy Argyranthemum is both beautiful and resilient and is ideally incorporated into pots, planters or the garden border. The stunning daisies sit neatly above the foliage and just don’t quit, flowering from early spring until winter.

Osteospermum Afrikaans Osteospermum Afrikaans, which are new to Oderings for the 2016 season, have been bred to flower under high temperatures, so they will explode with masses of flowers from spring until frost. And the Afrikaans are easy to grow and are low growing and very compact, staying under 30cm tall, making them the perfect addition for pots, planters, containers or garden borders.

Find all our Gardening Guide articles online at www.oderings.co.nz

For summer 2016 try some of these brilliant daisies in your garden and keep the daisy chain going.

Make your tropical island holiday

By Mike Yardley JETTING INTO Vanuatu, across the indigo of the ocean and the crisp palette of lagoon blues, all the hues of your tropical holiday dreams stretch out to greet you.

As this was my first foray to Vanuatu, I was particularly excited about experiencing the unspoiled bliss of Lelepa Island, which looms on the west side of Havannah Harbour.

Day tours, including banana boat transfers from the mainland, are slickly operated by Lelepa islanders, packaging a kaleidoscope of authentic experiences and insights into one magical day. This is how tourism should be.

After being dutifully collected from the Havannah, under a cavernous blue sky, we zipped across the glittering harbour as a pod of dolphins playfully splashed about seemingly on-cue, before walking ashore onto Lelepa’s sugary sands.

The beach that I was deposited at was the sweep of sand immortalised by Survivor a decade ago, much to the titillation of reality-television viewers. In fact, amongst my group of day-trippers, a lovely couple from Italy

were impelled to visit Lelepa Island because of the TV show.

Local residents and guides, Japin and Aaron, led us on a fascinating rainforest tour, pointing out some signature botanical attributes. Draped in sycamore trees, this is the specimen that is used for carving the trunk into an outrigger canoe. It takes one day to complete the mission.

Japin pointed out a vine called

One Day Rob, from which the juice is extracted and tipped into sea. It apparently makes the fish “drunk” and easy prey to catch.

Meanwhile, the liquid in the leaf of the wild hibiscus is extracted by Lelepa locals as a traditional lubricant for pregnant women. When they go into labour, the expectant mother will drink the liquid, apparently ensuring the birth proceeds

smoothly. As gentle winds fanned the multitude of swaying palms, Aaron emphasised the deep spiritual significance of the cycad palm, or namale , as the locals call it. It’s a profound symbol of peace in Vanuatu. Every village chief will have a namale growing outside his house and it’s enshrined on the national flag.

I was also led over to a cliff

face of volcanic rock and limestone, which is home to scores of massive coconut crabs. Living between the cracks in the rock stack, these aggressive critters are a celebrated delicacy in Vanuatu.

But as Aaron grimly observed, snaring and subduing one of these crabs takes skill and agility.

They only come out at night and if you’re not careful, they will bite your finger off with relative ease.

dream a reality in Vanuatu HISTORY: Fels Cave (far left) dates back to 900 AD. Left: Singalong time for children who melt the heart.

After enjoying a delicious lunch of local beef, chicken, crisp salads and succulent tropical fruits, I enjoyed a spot of snorkelling and kayaking in the crystalline, turquoise-tinted waters.

Fels Cave brims with astonishing sights, including the rock drawings of men, fish and birds that date back to 900 AD. According to legend, the mighty chief Roi Mata died in this cave in the 16th century.

It’s the size of this cave which

surprised me, 60m long. Up until the 1840s, it served two key purposes: as a cyclone refuge but also as a hospice, where the village elders would spend their last days of their life.

If these cave walls would talk – just imagine the stories. The locals illuminate the cave with candle-light for tourists to walk through, adding to its evocative atmosphere, along with the hundreds of squealing fruit bats that dangle from the cave ceiling.

Our group were then escorted to the southwestern shoreline of Lelepa, which is festooned with spectacular coral gardens. I don’t think I’ve experienced such an extraordinary level of neon-coloured coral intensity quite like this in the South Pacific.

Everyone in our group concurred that it was the best spot of snorkelling they’ve ever encountered.

One final frisson to complete a truly memorable day was a

stop at Lelepa Island’s village of Natapao.

Brightly coloured laundry swayed on washing lines in this simple but tidy village. Lelepa Island is home to 500 residents and it’s the children who melt the heart. As we browsed from the extensive range of authentic souvenirs, an excitable group of young kids treated us to a village singalong, topping off a day to remember. www.lelepaislandtours.com

Fusion of east and west in designer’s garments

Jo Commons, 25, artist, Rolleston Jacket: Tommy Hilfiger Top: Liz Commons the Label Hat: Lotto Jeans: SaveMart Shoes: Reebok

By Annabelle Dick ARA INSTITUTE of Canterbury student Elaine Jiang is on a mission to mix up the local fashion scene with her eastern meets western designs.

The 33-year-old is one of 12 students who will showcase her collection at Ballantynes Fashion Week on Saturday.

Mrs Jiang is in her third year of study towards a Bachelor of Design degree in fashion technology and design.

“I like making things by hand and because of my character I’m not very talkative, so I thought I’ll go into an industry where I don’t have to talk to many people. That way I could do things by myself instead of relying on a team or other people,” she said.

Her garments have a strong Japanese-influence and her pieces are mostly targeted towards the modern eastern woman.

“I’m Asian and we are shorter so the silhouette of my garments are different because eastern and western bodies curve differently. So my clothes better fitting for us . . . they are quite loose, relaxed and oversized.”

Originally from China, Mrs Jiang moved to New Zealand to be with her Christchurch-based husband and pursue a career in fashion.

She moved to Christchurch on February 19, 2011 – just three days before the earthquake that would change the city forever.

“That was my first experience of New Zealand. I was really jet-lagged due to the time difference, but I was planning on going to the city to see the Christ Church Cathedral the day of the quake. I was lucky because I was changing my clothes just before leaving and then the earthquake happened

. . . I didn’t get to see any of Christchurch,” Mrs Jiang said.

While her cultural roots play a big part in her aesthetic, her move to Christchurch has influenced the garments she creates.

“When I came here, I realised people are a lot more relaxed than in China. I want to keep my style from my background, but I’d like to fuse them both and design items that Kiwis would like,” she said.

Mrs Jiang is now busy working on her end of year collection Soft Shell, which is based on a series of photographs of some of the poorest children in 1900s’ England.

The collection also includes elements of Japanese fashion she noticed while overseas earlier this year.

“I’ve put old-England and new-Japanese together for my collection,” she said.

Mrs Jiang plans on launching her own label after graduating.

Humour key to Dad’s Army

Thought-provoking play about domestic violence

By Georgia O’Connor-Harding CAS’N’OVA Productions’ latest show of Dad’s Army is directed by a man fresh from the Emmy Awards two weeks ago.

Director Craig Hutchison (left) was invited to attend the ceremony as a guest by Los Angeles-based producer Penny Lane O’Rourke.

While directing Dad’s Army which is based on a BBC sitcom comedy, Hutchison has been busy working on a film with Ms O’Rourke called Anne Frank Meets God. Dad’s Army, which is set to open tonight is about the British Home Guard during World War 2.

The show is co-directed with Rebecca Wakelin.

As well as walking the red carpet earlier this month, Hutchison was invited to the Emmy Awards Governors Ball.

But he said the highlight of his trip was visiting The Milky Way restaurant run by director Steven Spielberg’s mother.

Not In Our Neighbourhood, written and directed by Jamie MsCaskill, The Forge at The Court Theatre.

Reviewed by Barry Southam

HUMOROUS: (Left to right) – Roderick Turner as Sergeant Wilson, Ray Williamson as Lance Corporal Jones and Mike MacLeod as Captain Mainwaring.

He said he first met 96-yearold Leah Adler Spielberg at another function in Los Angeles and was asked by her if he would come back and see her.

“She is a lovely little old lady and is very short,” he said.

Hutchison said people will enjoy Dad’s Army they will be able to relate the cast to the original TV series and for

the humour.

“I guarantee there will be laughter all the way and I don’t think the laughter will stop” he said.

•Dad’s Army will run from tonight through to October 8. To book tickets go to http://www.casnova.co.nz/ ticketing/

A VIRTUAL solo performance, this production had Kali Kopae managing multiple roles with apparent ease, the transitions seemless as she switched from characters such as a angry demanding WINZ customer to a battered wife.

An intense hour of confrontational theatre in which a filmmaker was allowed to document clients at a womens’ refuge, each of whom has suffered domestic violence of one sort or another.

To dispel the myth that such violence is restricted to low socio-economic groups, one enactment involves a woman married to a very successful white male, played by Peter Hambleton.

The only two-hander scene, it is probably the most powerful and very scary episode in the whole show, as an angry husband faces off with the front person for Te Whariki Manawa-

hine O Hauraki, a women’s refuge.

The husband demands that his wife be released into his custody as he claims he knows what is best for her, and then displays reasoning that shows he has no insight into his own angry self.

There were whispers of recognition quite audible.

Domestic violence stretches throughout all levels of our society as well as being a universal problem.

The monologues are thoughtprovoking, varied as they are, and while they don’t sit in the “show don’t tell” format, their content registered strongly with the audience.

At the show’s conclusion there were tears in the eyes of more than one person.

Bowers Builders

*competition closes 20th Oct 2016

Renovations and house levelling has long been a speciality of Bowers Builders.

Their team of five builders has 90 years of collective experience in the industry, with owners Johnnie and Amanda directly involved in the management of every project.

“We will take on the jobs that are outside the box – nothing is too hard,” say Amanda, who meets all new clients with Johnnie to talk over their specific building situation.

“Once we start work on the job our client’s hardest decision should just be choosing the paint colour.”

Clear and honest communication is integral to their business, with all work completed to a very high standard that will last over time. From a new garage floor that is complicated due to land conditions, an

almost complete renovation of an inner city cottage, to demanding hill sites that require helicopter access, Amanda and Johnnie work together to come up with a realistic solution for all involved.

They are well used to working with a range of agencies and specialists such as structural and geotechnical engineers, and have reliable sub-contractors to complete any electrical, plumbing, complex brick work and roofing work.

“We say that anything can be done – some things just take longer than others,” says Amanda.

Contact Johnnie and Amanda at Bowers Builders on 027 248 0220 or visit www.bowersbuildersltd.co.nz for more information.

About 20% of adults over 50 have swallowing difficulties (Dysphagia). It’s common in many health conditions, head and neck surgeries, and ageing. These can cause a reduction in muscle strength for chewing, taste and smell, dental issues and dry mouth or throat.

The results may be poor nutrition, hydration, unintended weight loss, avoiding eating in public, loss of enjoyment in previously enjoyed food, and a risk of food/ fluid entering the lungs (aspiration) causing pneumonia and chronic lung disease.

Signs and symptoms: • Difficulty swallowing food or fluid • Coughing during or after eating or drinking • Choking on food, fluid or medication • Gurgly voice after eating or drinking • Recurrent chest infections or pneumonia • Taking longer to eat a meal Suggestions: • Eat when comfortable and relaxed • Reduce distractions, only talk between mouthfuls • Have smaller meals or snacks more frequently instead of three larger meals daily • Chop or grate harder foods, and add sauces/gravies • Ensure dentures fit well, denture paste may assist

Therapy Professionals Ltd is a private practice of physio, speech language, music, occupational therapists and dietitians. We work with people of all ages.

Contemporary Water Sculptures liaise with architects, designers, developers and home owners to create bespoke water features and sculptures that are works of art. Each sculpture is designed by Geoff McConnell, then built in Christchurch by skilled craftsmen using a combination of traditional and modern techniques, materials and equipment.

Many of the water sculptures come complete with their own base tank and are stand-alone meaning they only need to be connected to electricity before they are operational. The elegant simplicity of their forms, soothing sounds and the mesmerising play of light on the water’s surface, belie the dedication to engineering excellence, attention to detail, craftsmanship and uncompromising selection of materials, that

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

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

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

Miscount sees shield taken off Canty

By Gordon Findlater A MISCOUNT from Hockey New Zealand means the Ramesh Patel Shield will head to Midlands after spending just a week with Canterbury Hockey.

The national body contacted Canterbury Hockey last week to explain that they made a mistake in presenting Canterbury with the award after both regions ended on the exact same number of points following the completion of the National Hockey League.

The shield has now been awarded to Midlands after a recount based on the number of tournaments won this year.

The Ramesh Patel Shield recognises the top region over Hockey New Zealand’s three annual high-performance tournaments – the under-21, under-18 and men’s NHL. Midlands won three titles – the under-21 women, under-18

men and men’s NHL. Canterbury also had a year to be proud of winning two titles – under-21 men and women’s NHL. The shield has been on display at the Canterbury Hockey office since last week.

“For a week, people have come in and had a look at it. It’s quite funny the conversation’s you have with people. They say congratulations on winning the Ramesh Patel Shield and then we have to explain, well actually, we didn’t quite,” said Canterbury Hockey representative manager Chris Goldsbury.

Hockey New Zealand had offered to let both regions share the shield.

However, Canterbury Hockey declined the offer after learning about the miscount.

A representative from Hockey New Zealand will deliver the shield from Christchurch to Hamilton next week.

Gallen: NRL title win better than Origin to a win over Melbourne that will top it.

“It would probably be even more special,” Gallen said.

“Origin is the best arena to play in and after all we went through, all those years of defeat, that was unreal.

“But at a club level you spend a lot of time with guys and staff.

More than you do with your only family.

“I think a premiership win

would top it, maybe. Hopefully I will let you know on Sunday.”

Gallen has turned down bigger money deals to remain a oneclub man with the Sharks and has been the spiritual leader of the club for the best part of a decade.

“A premiership would mean a hell of a lot,” he said.

“I have been here for a long time, I have devoted my career to the club and the club has never

New Mazda CX-9 here

By Ross Kiddie THE NEW Mazda CX-9 sport utility vehicle will be available in the the New Zealand new car market from Saturday.

Building on the Kodo design platform, Mazda designers have created a sense of prestige that starts with exterior design and is carried through every aspect of the vehicle.

Mazda New Zealand’s managing director Andrew Clearwater says the new CX-9 has been well worth the wait.

“I’ve seen the vehicle in the various stages of its development and each time it looked impressive but this didn’t prepare me for how striking the finished vehicle would be. From the exterior design through to the highend interior finish and its on-road performance, this is a stand-out vehicle that has raised the bar to new heights in the large SUV segment.”

The Mazda designers’ first challenge was to create an ideal family vehicle that when not used as family transport would be an exhilarating and quiet SUV to drive on the open road.

Featuring a newlydeveloped Skyactive-G 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol

PLUSH: Mazda’s new CX-9 has an emphasis on quiet travel. engine the new CX-9 brings together performance, premium finish and safety to meet needs of New Zealand families looking for the complete SUV. Said Mr Clearwater: “The petrol engine delivers to such an extent you would think there is a turbo diesel engine under the bonnet. The other thing that strikes you is how quiet it is in the cabin. This is a testament to Mazda engineers who worked to deliver the quietest vehicle in the segment.”

On the back of the success of the Skyactiv engine series, Mazda’s engineers developed the first turbocharged Skyactiv petrol engine. It is

rated with a 170kW power output while at 2000rpm it generates 420Nm of torque, providing the immediate and effortless acceleration expected from a premium vehicle. The engine drives through a six-speed automatic transmission.

Mazda claims an 8.4-litre per 100km (34mpg) combined cycle fuel usage average (8.8l/100km, allwheel-drive).

The range includes three models across two grades, the front-wheel-drive GSX has a price of $52,995, a four-wheel-drive GSX sits at $55,495 while an allwheel-drive Limited lists at $62,995.

Major revamp for Colorado

By Ross Kiddie THE 2017 Holden Colorado ute is now on sale in New Zealand.

Although based on the model it replaces the newcomer has many changes, most evident in a completely revised interior, gains in overall quietness and ride, while handling is aided by electric power steering across the range.

Under the bonnet the engine is mostly a carryover, the four-cylinder, twincamshaft, turbocharged diesel produces 147kW and 500Nm. There are choices of both manual and automatic gearboxes, along with two and four-wheeldrive options. There’s also a choice of three body styles – single-cab, spacecab and crewcab.

Payload and towing capability is rated at 1-tonne and 3.5-tonne respectively.

“Colorado has resonated well with customers in a segment that has more than doubled in sales in the last 10 years, and we’re confident the new 2017 Colorado will build on this and redefine customer

expectations of what a truck can be,” Holden New Zealand managing director Kristian Aquilina said.

“Not only does it come with fresh new styling, it also offers car-like refinement, ride and handling as well as vehicle technologies unique to this segment including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

“Colorado is also the only vehicle in the 4x4 utility vehicle segment to offer remote window activation – a feature we expect to be popular with customers in warmer parts of New Zealand.”

Colorado’s technology offering also provides notable safety enhancements,

including a new forward facing camera with active safety features such as forward collision alert and lane departure warning. For low speed manoeuvres, drivers are assisted by front and rear park assist on selected vehicles and rear view camera across the range.

The Colorado also has a new MyLink infotainment system delivered through a colour touchscreen.

Said Mr Aquilina: “Pleasingly, we have been able to maintain carry-over pricing for two-wheel drive models and just a $1000 increase for four-wheel drive variants.”

Prices range from $39,990 to $66,990.

OPENING NIGHT Labour Weekend SATURDAY 22 OCTOBER

AmPro Tools Woodford Glen Speedway is set to roar back to life for summer on the Saturday night of Labour Weekend, October 22nd. Opening the speedway season is the annual Moller Young NZ ‘trophy challenge’ which sees all eight of the Glen’s classes racing in what is always an action packed night of family entertainment.

Woodford Glen is special. It has an atmosphere that has evolved from a long history and tradition with third generation fans and competitors continually showing support. The bullring surroundings of the Glen bring a vitality and excitement to the entertainment it provides – the thunder and vibrations of the engines and the colour and spectacle of highly polished race cars as they race under the lights of the oval.

With nineteen shows scheduled to run from October 22nd through to April, fans will be treated to another summer of fun the whole family will enjoy. It’s always hard to pin point the best shows but the Annual Fireworks Extravaganza show is a must see as is the crazy Ramp Race Demo Derby which is held every Boxing Day. Both of these shows are a sellout, so it is recommended to pre-buy your tickets at the AmPro Tools Woodford Glen Shop. Following on from these two great events the Glen will also be hosting the New Zealand Modified Grand Prix, South Island Super Saloon, Modified and SuperStock Champs.

Woodford Glen Speedway still offers the best value for money family entertainment in the Canterbury region. We understand and listen to our fans and this is once again reflective in the admission prices for the 2016-2017 season. A fun night out for the whole family is just $40 which includes entry for two adults and up to four children (14years and under). Additional children are only $5 with under 5’s free. An adult ticket is only $20 whilst senior citizens pay just $10.

True ‘die hard fans’ who take advantage of our season pass options will get to watch three of our shows for free! That’s right, three shows for Free! Get on down to the Woodford Glen Shop and take advantage of this great deal today!

The Woodford Glen Shop can be found at the corner of North Avon Road and North Parade, Richmond – just down from the Palms Mall. Check out the great range of official Woodford Glen merchandise, AmPro Tools product and much more. Pre-Sale tickets also available.

LOCAL performer, Anthony EasterbrookCarter returns to the Hornby Working Men’s Club on Saturday 8th October with another of his popular ‘Anthony’s Jukebox Show’.

“If you love dancing and singing along to the great Rock & Rock 'n' Roll Hits of the 50's, 60's & 70's then this is for you,” said Anthony. “All the songs are hits you will know and want to dance along to. Songs from Beatles, The Beach Boys, Cliff Richard, Shadows, Elvis, Roy Orbison, The Shirelles, Gerry & Pacemakers, CCR, Doobie Brothers and many more.”
