A BITTER 10-month<br />

to an elderly woman facing the<br />

DESK<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

News.................................. 3-15<br />

TESTY OLD times in Memorial<br />

Ave our front page article<br />

reveals today.<br />

It’s a neighbours at war situation,<br />

and one which should<br />

never have got as far as it has.<br />

It defies logic that a 76-yearold<br />

should end up in court over<br />

a bitter dispute involving a<br />

shared driveway.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing new about<br />

rows over shared driveways<br />

but this one has got way out of<br />

hand.<br />

<strong>The</strong> police are fairly patient<br />

people, particularly when it<br />

comes to the elderly, so for them<br />

to take it to court underpins<br />

how serious this one is.<br />

And probably making matters<br />

worse is the other party in the<br />

equation – the neighbour who<br />

had his vehicles damaged – has<br />

in the last few days rubbed salt<br />

into a festering wound.<br />

He’s put up a Guilty sign after<br />

the court hearing which faces<br />

the elderly woman’s property.<br />

Not a smart move.<br />

On another note, we have<br />

extensive coverage of the Lions<br />

visit. Go the Crusaders.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />

This week in history saw a fire in Colombo St destroy buildings<br />

between Hereford and Cashel Sts on <strong>June</strong> 4, 1864. On the same<br />

day in 1866 the refurbished Royal Princess <strong>The</strong>atre re-opened<br />

as the first <strong>The</strong>atre Royal. On <strong>June</strong> 6, 1905, the first electric<br />

trams began operation. Unique in Australasia, they had front<br />

fenders as a safety feature because of the density of cycle traffic<br />

in Christchurch. On <strong>June</strong> 7, 1877, the Canterbury College<br />

(University) building was opened. Designed by B. W. Mountfort,<br />

the building is now part of the Arts Centre. On <strong>June</strong> 8, 1966, the<br />

Wahine, described as the largest vehicular ferry in the world,<br />

began sailing on the Lyttelton-Wellington run. On <strong>June</strong> 9, 1869,<br />

an earthquake damaged many buildings including the town<br />

hall. On <strong>June</strong> 9, 1917, the Sign of the Kiwi (right) was opened.<br />

On <strong>June</strong> 10, 1868, William Wilson was elected the first mayor of<br />

Christchurch.<br />

Tane the lion tamer<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

IT’S BEEN a toy for his<br />

children, grandchildren and<br />

now it lives in his bar – but the<br />

Lions official mascot from their<br />

1977 tour wasn’t gifted to Tane<br />

Norton.<br />

It was stolen from under the<br />

tourist’s noses, but not that Norton<br />

knew that at the time.<br />

Norton was in Auckland just<br />

after captaining the All Blacks<br />

to their series win over the<br />

Lions in 1977. He was invited<br />

by former All Black Pat Walsh<br />

to speak at a dinner at his rugby<br />

club.<br />

“I went along and on the table<br />

there was a cardboard tube and<br />

inside it was the lion and on the<br />

outside it said: ‘To Tane from<br />

Phil’,” said Norton.<br />

By Phil, it meant Phil Bennett,<br />

captain of the 77 Lions team.<br />

Norton was due to fly to South<br />

Africa the next day to take part<br />

in a World XV match. After instructing<br />

Walsh that he couldn’t<br />

take the lion, it was sent to his<br />

address in Christchurch.<br />

“When I got back it was on the<br />

front doorstep,” said Norton.<br />

He then received a phone<br />

call from police a few days later<br />

asking if he was in possession of<br />

the lion.<br />

“He said: ‘I’ve got a file here<br />

on that lion, it’s about a foot<br />

deep and the last name on it is<br />

yours’,” said Norton<br />

“I got on the bus with the lion<br />

•From page 1<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y (police) told me to get<br />

some (surveillance) cameras,” he<br />

said.<br />

More cars were later damaged.<br />

Footage from the surveillance<br />

camera led police to investigate and<br />

then charge the 76-year-old late last<br />

year.<br />

Senior Sergeant Stephan McDaniel<br />

said because police had evidence<br />

and went down to the police<br />

station. I put it up on the table<br />

and they poked it and turned it.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y weren’t overly friendly to<br />

me at this stage.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y said: ‘This is very similar<br />

to the lion but what we’ll do<br />

is write to England and say if<br />

anyone wants to come out and<br />

identify it then you will return it’.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> only person that ever<br />

came to see the lion was former<br />

of the damage, charges were laid.<br />

“This was a bit of a tit for tat<br />

between neighbours that resulted<br />

in damage, which we had evidence<br />

on,” he said.<br />

He said in the majority of<br />

neighbour disputes police decide<br />

if it is the public’s interest to spend<br />

time mediating between the two<br />

parties or leave them to work it out<br />

themselves.<br />

Ireland and Lions lock Willie<br />

John McBride.<br />

“He came for a cup of tea<br />

at my place some years later.<br />

I brought the lion out and he<br />

swore in some Irish pogue,” said<br />

Norton.<br />

“He said: ‘You deserve it, you<br />

keep it’. I did feel a bit better<br />

after that.”<br />

It’s believed the lion first came<br />

into Kiwi hands during the<br />

Lions game against Counties<br />

Manukau in Pukekohe when it<br />

was stolen from the team bus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lion now has a permanent<br />

home at Bailies Bar in Edgeware,<br />

where it attracts a bit of<br />

attention.<br />

“He’s had more photos taken<br />

of himself than I have of me,”<br />

said Norton.<br />

ARSON ATTACKS STOP<br />

Arson attacks in Burnside and<br />

Ilam have stopped over the past<br />

few weeks after police increased<br />

patrols around the area. Over a<br />

number of weeks, there had been<br />

a series of deliberately lit fires<br />

in the area, with wheelie bins, a<br />

car, and for sale sign set alight.<br />

Some of the blazes scorched the<br />

exterior of occupied homes. Senior<br />

Sergeant Stephan McDaniel<br />

said in response to the fires that<br />

police have increased patrols in<br />

the area in an effort to catch the<br />

person lighting them.<br />

A controversial ratepayer-funded<br />

fence on Flock Hill Station has<br />

got the green light. <strong>The</strong> Selwyn<br />

Waihora Zone Committee will<br />

allocate $26,571 to section off a<br />

part of Cave Stream and 35ha of<br />

wetlands at the station. <strong>The</strong> committee<br />

initially approved $44,236<br />

for the project in March, but has<br />

since reviewed its decision. <strong>The</strong><br />

funding was reduced after the<br />

station’s owners decided they<br />

wanted funding for stage one<br />

and two but not stage three. A<br />

final decision on the funding was<br />

held off at the committee’s May<br />

meeting because more research<br />

was needed.<br />

Lions Tour<br />

Bars and restaurants<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

RESTAURANTS and bars<br />

are set to be packed on<br />

Saturday with fans who<br />

missed out on tickets to the<br />

sell-out Lions v Crusaders<br />

match.<br />

It was the first regional<br />

match in the Lions tour to<br />

sell out, with seats gone by<br />

February.<br />

But a giant Fanzone<br />

screen on Poplar St is set to<br />

broadcast the match, in an<br />

effort to draw fans in to the<br />

central city.<br />

Dux Central manager<br />

Julian Sinke said he was<br />

expecting big numbers,<br />

especially as the Fanzone<br />

screen was set to be visible<br />

from the balcony.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tour came at a good<br />

time for businesses, as winter<br />

closed in, he said.<br />

“It’s a fact that when the<br />

weather gets colder people<br />

drink less beer, so people<br />

just need that extra incentive<br />

to get out,” he said.<br />

He said a mulled wine<br />

festival was planned there<br />

this weekend. He hoped<br />

the warm drinks would be<br />

a drawcard on a cold night.<br />

Tower Junction Speight’s<br />

JUBILATION: Bars in the city are expected to be<br />

busy with Lions supporters this weekend.<br />

Ale House owner Bill<br />

Haig said he already had<br />

a lot of bookings, and was<br />

expecting the place to be<br />

packed.<br />

But he was expecting<br />

mostly locals, rather than<br />

large numbers of tourists,<br />

so although it would be a<br />

busy night on Saturday,<br />

he expected the rest of the<br />

weekend would be fairly<br />

normal.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> tourists aren’t<br />

going to be here as much,<br />

because they can get a van<br />

and tour around in the<br />

North Island. <strong>The</strong>y can’t<br />

do that very easily here,”<br />

he said.<br />

With no test matches in<br />

the South Island, many of<br />

the visiting overseas fans<br />

are expected to skip the<br />

Christchurch and Dunedin<br />

matches completely.<br />

Hospitality NZ Canterbury<br />

branch president<br />

Peter Morrison said he was<br />

disappointed Christchurch<br />

had missed out on a test<br />

match, and extra visitor<br />

spending with it.<br />

“Until we have the new<br />

stadium we’ll keep missing<br />

out,” he said.<br />

But fully-booked motels<br />

around the stadium suggest<br />

some fans have made<br />

the trip.<br />

Fans welcomed for free<br />

While this would usually be a<br />

quiet time of year, this weekend<br />

most accommodation in Addington<br />

is either booked up or almost<br />

full.<br />

Andy Pu of Addington Court<br />

Motel said it was fully booked<br />

by mid-May – although as most<br />

people booked online, he could<br />

not say if they were international<br />

fans or from elsewhere in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Carol Grainger, general manager<br />

of the 2 on Whiteleigh and<br />

239 On Lincoln motels, said all<br />

32 rooms were fully booked by<br />

Friday.<br />

She said many were there for<br />

the Lions tour – with bookings<br />

from Great Britain, from Ireland<br />

and from Australia, and Kiwis<br />

travelling the length of the country,<br />

including from Auckland and<br />

from Southland.<br />

She said the motel only newly<br />

opened in February, so the bookings<br />

were a great boost coming<br />

into the quiet winter period.<br />

“We missed out on the peak<br />

of the summer season, so this is<br />

great for us,” she said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lions team is set to stay at<br />

the Rydges Latimer, and fans on<br />

the official tour at the Novotel<br />

Christchurch, but managers at<br />

both hotels would not discuss<br />

numbers staying, for commercial<br />

BUSY: Carol Grainger says 2 on<br />

Whiteleigh is fully booked.<br />

reasons.<br />

NZ Rugby spokesman Ian<br />

Long said some overseas fans<br />

booked tickets through official<br />

tour groups, but others booked<br />

through local friends – so it was<br />

impossible to say how many<br />

international guests would be<br />

visiting.<br />

“It’s fair to say the numbers of<br />

Lions fans is certainly growing,<br />

but it’s really not possible to put<br />

numbers on it,” he said.<br />

•<strong>The</strong> match is set to be<br />

broadcast free at the Poplar<br />

St Fanzone from 7.30pm, with<br />

food trucks and children’s<br />

activities running from 5pm<br />

to 10pm.<br />

LANCE AND Pam McKechie<br />

plan to host at least seven Lions<br />

fans in their home over the next<br />

month – and they’re doing it for<br />

free.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Halswell couple join hundreds<br />

of others around the country<br />

who have offered to “Adopt a<br />

Lions Fan” during the tour.<br />

Mrs McKechie said she offered<br />

because she wanted “to pay it<br />

forward.’’<br />

She heard discussions on the<br />

radio about the cost of accommodation<br />

skyrocketing in Auckland<br />

during the tour, with some<br />

fans struggling to find a room.<br />

Last year the couple went on<br />

holiday to Scotland, and she said<br />

people there were so hospitable,<br />

she wanted to return the favour.<br />

“Twice we were billeted with<br />

families there, and it was so nice<br />

to stay with the locals, to be able<br />

to get the real experience rather<br />

than staying in hotels,” she said.<br />

She said they had three spare<br />

bedrooms as their children had<br />

all left home, so she posted on<br />

the “Adopt a Lions Fan” Facebook<br />

page to offer the beds.<br />

Within a few days she had a response<br />

from an Irish fan hoping<br />

to stay, then an Englishman, and<br />

then a group of five fans hoping<br />

GIVING BACK: Pam and Lance McKechie have opened their<br />

home to Lions fans.<br />

for beds.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir first guest is set to arrive<br />

today.<br />

While she would ordinarily<br />

feel a bit nervous about having<br />

so many strangers to stay, she<br />

decided she could make it work.<br />

“You just look at them like<br />

overseas friends you haven’t met<br />

yet,” she said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se guys might not have<br />

come down to Christchurch if<br />

they were having to find hotels<br />

everywhere, so I hope it will really<br />

help.”<br />

She said the two were loyal<br />

kiwis and would be cheering for<br />

the Crusaders this weekend - but<br />

didn’t see the rivalry with the<br />

Lions fans being a problem.<br />

“We expect to win,” she said.<br />

She said the visitors had come<br />

with unexpected perks.<br />

One had a spare ticket to the<br />

sold out Crusaders match and<br />

had offered it to Mr McKechie,<br />

who would not otherwise have<br />

been able to go.<br />

Lions Tour<br />

Match against Crusaders rekindles<br />

As the Crusaders prepare<br />

to take on the British and<br />

Irish Lions on Saturday<br />

night Gordon Findlater<br />

looks back on the 1971<br />

Battle of Lancaster<br />

Park. <strong>The</strong> Lions beat<br />

Canterbury 14-3, but the<br />

game is remembered<br />

more for its action away<br />

from the ball<br />

ANY TIME the Lions and<br />

Christchurch are mentioned in<br />

the same sentence, rugby purists<br />

will immediately think of the<br />

1971 match against Canterbury.<br />

Not generally for the rugby,<br />

but the biff.<br />

<strong>The</strong> seeds for<br />

that violent encounter<br />

had been<br />

sown in the two<br />

previous Lions<br />

tours, when Canterbury<br />

upset the<br />

Fergie<br />

McCormick<br />

tourists 20-14 in<br />

1959, and narrowly<br />

lost 8-6 in<br />

a bruising match in 1966.<br />

Canterbury’s Fergie McCormick,<br />

who played in all three<br />

matches, said the toughness of<br />

those games led to the violent<br />

PUNCH UP: Alex Matheson carrying the ball for Canterbury.<br />

Away from the ball, Lions forward Sandy Carmichael clutches<br />

his face on the ground as Alistair Hopkins (right) exits the scene.<br />

encounter in 1971.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y were a very strong Lions<br />

team in 59, we had a pretty<br />

strong Canterbury team though<br />

with a lot of All Blacks including<br />

Tiny Hill who captained that<br />

team. We virtually had an All<br />

Black side,” said McCormick.<br />

In the United Kingdom the 71<br />

game was seen as a premeditated<br />

assault to slow the Lions down<br />

ahead of the test series against<br />

the All Blacks. In 2007 the game<br />

ranked sixth in a ‘top 50 imperfect<br />

memories of 71’s brutal encounter<br />

Carmichael soon became<br />

the poster child of the violent<br />

encounter. Images of his bruised<br />

eyes creating headlines back<br />

home.<br />

“He had a black eye and a bent<br />

nose. <strong>The</strong>y got the cameras right<br />

up to his face to get a good shot<br />

and they’re still whinging about<br />

it, but they started it,” said Mc-<br />

Cormick<br />

<strong>The</strong> injury that ended<br />

McLoughlin’s campaign was<br />

more his own doing, testing his<br />

hand against one of the toughest<br />

heads in the game.<br />

“He hit Alex Wyllie and cut<br />

his cheek bone open, that’s how<br />

he broke his thumb,” said Mc-<br />

Cormick.<br />

Although Canterbury had<br />

managed to wound the rampant<br />

Lions it didn’t slow them down<br />

and the tourists went onto<br />

record their only test series win<br />

over the All Blacks.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y were strong. <strong>The</strong> players<br />

they had went on to become<br />

icons of the game,” said Norton.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury hooker was<br />

part of the series defeat but was<br />

lucky enough to captain the All<br />

Blacks side that defeated the<br />

Lions 3-1 in 1977.<br />

As for the rivalry created on<br />

that day, he says the opponents<br />

on that day have since become<br />

lifelong friends.<br />

“All those guys we played we’ve<br />

met since and remained really<br />

good friends with. Of course we<br />

still have each other on about that<br />

game,” said Norton.<br />

A lot may have changed in<br />

46 years but rivalries etched<br />

in blood are never forgotten.<br />

McCormick and Norton both<br />

expect to see more of a spectacle<br />

when it comes to the rugby being<br />

played on Saturday night,<br />

and more than anyone they’ll<br />

be hoping to see the Lions get<br />

tipped over by the red and<br />

blacks.<br />

Further call to lower speed limits<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

A TRANSPORT expert is calling<br />

for lower speed limits around<br />

busy shopping centres, schools<br />

and on winding roads in a bid to<br />

improve safety.<br />

It comes after some schools<br />

made pleas for lower speed limits<br />

outside their gates as part of the<br />

city council’s Annual Plan.<br />

ViaStrada senior traffic engineer<br />

and transport planner Glen<br />

Koorey told the infrastructure,<br />

transport and environment committee<br />

yesterday the city council<br />

should consider lowering further<br />

speed limits across the city.<br />

That would be in addition to<br />

the 30km/h limit already implemented<br />

on some central city<br />

streets.<br />

<strong>The</strong> former Canterbury University<br />

transport engineering<br />

senior lecturer said the changes<br />

would improve motorist, cyclist<br />

and pedestrian safety.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of crashes where<br />

the likelihood or the severity<br />

could have been reduced greatly<br />

if you got the speeds down. We<br />

know from the evidence that you<br />

drop the speeds from 50km/h to<br />

40km/h, 40km/h to 30km/h, the<br />

risk of serious injury or fatality<br />

goes down dramatically.”<br />

He said Wellington successfully<br />

implemented lower speed<br />

limits of either 30km/h or<br />

40km/h near suburban shopping<br />

centres. He wanted the same<br />

done here.<br />

Data he collated from 2012-16,<br />

showed the number of crashes<br />

involving pedestrians and cyclists<br />

were higher near suburban<br />

shopping centres, such as Northlands,<br />

Westfield Riccarton and<br />

Bush Inn Shopping Centre.<br />

Dr Koorey said in Hamilton,<br />

speed limits in school zones had<br />

been reduced. He said that could<br />

be done here.<br />

St Anne’s Catholic, Te Waka<br />

Unua and Linwood Avenue<br />

schools all want the speed<br />

reduced to 40km/h outside their<br />

gates during school pick-up and<br />

drop-off times.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y made presentations to<br />

city councillors about it at an<br />

annual plan hearing last month,<br />

which came alongside a 1759-signature<br />

petition.<br />

Dr Koorey also said narrow,<br />

windy or unsealed rural roads,<br />

such as Summit Rd, or those<br />

around Lyttelton and Akaroa<br />

harbours, did not need 100km/h<br />

SAFETY FIRST:<br />

Traffic expert<br />

Glen Koorey<br />

says speed limits<br />

near schools,<br />

shopping<br />

centres and on<br />

windy narrow<br />

roads should be<br />

lowered.<br />

speed limits.<br />

Governors Bay residents have<br />

been calling for the limit on Dyers<br />

Pass Rd to be reduced from<br />

100km/h to 70km/h for years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> committee decided to<br />

receive the information. City<br />

councillor Aaron Keown said he<br />

wanted to push for the limit to be<br />

lowered in Yaldhurst, such as on<br />

Guys Rd, as a trial.<br />

LOCKER ROOM THEFT<br />

Canterbury University rugby<br />

players returned to their locker<br />

room on Saturday after a hardfought<br />

win over New Brighton<br />

to find their wallets, cellphones<br />

and other personal items, as well<br />

as the club till, stolen. Club chairman<br />

Chris Risbridger said it was<br />

a bit of a dampener after the win<br />

and police have been notified.<br />

CAR PARKS MAY BE LOST<br />

Five parking spaces could be lost<br />

outside businesses on the corner<br />

of Holmwood Rd and Rossall St.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />

Community Board will<br />

make a decision on the installation<br />

of a pedestrian island on<br />

the corner of Holmwood Rd at<br />

its meeting on Monday. It would<br />

cause at least five 10 minute<br />

parking spaces to be removed.<br />

HERB GARDEN NAME<br />

<strong>The</strong> Botanic Gardens’ herbarium<br />

could be named after a former<br />

employee who grew the facility’s<br />

specimen collection. <strong>The</strong> city<br />

council’s social and community<br />

development committee has<br />

voted to recommend it be named<br />

the Lawrie Metcalf Herbarium.<br />

Jimmy Barnes to spearhead Lincoln rock event<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

AN AUSTRALIAN rock icon<br />

will set foot onto the Lincoln<br />

Domain for one of the biggest<br />

musical festivals in Selwyn next<br />

year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Selwyn Sounds concert<br />

is back with Jimmy Barnes to<br />

headline the rock concert, along<br />

with an iconic line-up of Australasian<br />

groups. It will be held<br />

on March 3.<br />

Barnes will be joined by <strong>The</strong><br />

Feelers, Mental as Anything,<br />

Stellar, <strong>The</strong> Mockers, <strong>The</strong> Narcs,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lady Killers and <strong>The</strong> Warratahs.<br />

Organiser and Lincoln<br />

resident David Parlane said the<br />

line-up is sensational and he is<br />

excited to have secured a class<br />

act such as Barnes to headline<br />

the show.<br />

“We couldn’t do the same as<br />

what we did this year, we had to<br />

do something a little different<br />

and make it bigger and better . . .<br />

this year has got a little bit more<br />

of a feel for everybody,” he said.<br />

It was estimated more than<br />

7500 packed into Lincoln Domain<br />

for the inaugural concert<br />

in March.<br />

•Tickets for Selwyn<br />

Sounds will be made<br />

available on Ticketek on<br />

July 3 with a limited number<br />

of early bird tickets.<br />

Weather, contract stalls road resealing<br />

STALLED: Downer is still working on the footpath on Durham<br />

St, but the resealing is on hold. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

DELAYS IN resealing part of<br />

Durham St is being partly caused<br />

by a financial agreement between<br />

Ōtākaro Ltd and contractor<br />

Downer.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Government agency said<br />

yesterday Downer will not work<br />

on the road until the ground<br />

temperature rises above<br />

10 deg C, which is unlikely to<br />

happen before spring.<br />

An Ōtākaro spokesman said<br />

there was a risk the seal would<br />

fail if the road was too cold.<br />

If Ōtākaro ordered Downer to<br />

seal the road anyway, in spite of<br />

the cold weather, Ōtākaro would<br />

have to bear the cost if the seal<br />

failed and the road had to be<br />

resurfaced, he said.<br />

Under the current arrangement,<br />

that risk is borne by<br />

Downer.<br />

Durham St is being upgraded<br />

as part of the An Accessible City<br />

project.<br />

Work is still being done on the<br />

footpath, planting and underground<br />

services along Durham<br />

St over winter.<br />

Christchurch Central Business<br />

Association chairman Brendan<br />

Chase said the delay was incredibly<br />

frustrating for business owners<br />

in the area, as the traffic jams<br />

and lost parking there could<br />

drive away customers.<br />

“It needs to be finished expeditiously,”<br />

he said.<br />

Some contractors are still<br />

resealing roads in other parts of<br />

the city, even over winter.<br />

City council planning and delivery<br />

transport manager Lynette<br />

Ellis said each contract was assessed<br />

on a “risk basis” to decide<br />

if the work could go ahead.<br />

If the risk was deemed low,<br />

some work could be undertaken,<br />

she said.<br />

“It’s important to note there<br />

are a number of variables that<br />

impact this decision-making<br />

process. It’s not a case of comparing<br />

individual jobs, because<br />

the specifications are all different,”<br />

she said.<br />

She said the standards were<br />

set by the NZ Transport Agency.<br />

According to an explanation<br />

on the NZTA website, resealing<br />

was best done in summer, when<br />

warm temperature and dry air<br />

helped the new seal stick.<br />

“If we did the work in winter,<br />

the cold ground would mean the<br />

new surface would harden and<br />

crack, plus the stones in the chip<br />

seal could pop out if exposed to<br />

cold weather within four weeks<br />

of application,” it said.<br />

Hollywood beckons Parker-Hulme killer<br />

Internationally<br />

acclaimed crime<br />

writer Anne Perry<br />

was once known as<br />

Juliet Hulme, one<br />

half of Christchurch’s<br />

most infamous<br />

murder duo. She is<br />

now off to Hollywood<br />

SHE’S BEST known in<br />

Christchurch for one of the<br />

city’s most infamous murders<br />

– the Parker-Hulme case – the<br />

teenager who killed her best<br />

friend’s mother and sparked the<br />

story for Peter Jackson’s Heavenly<br />

Creatures.<br />

But in Britain, Anne Perry,<br />

who she changed her name to,<br />

is a multi-million selling crime<br />

novelist.<br />

Now, she’s left her Scottish<br />

Highland idyll and has moved to<br />

Hollywood in her quest to have<br />

more of her novels adapted for<br />

television, Britain’s Daily Mail<br />

has reported.<br />

Perry, who has been dubbed<br />

the “queen of Victorian crime”<br />

and has sold more than 25 million<br />

books worldwide.<br />

“I’ll miss the views and I’ll<br />

miss my gardens,” said the<br />

78-year-old, as she reminisces<br />

about Tyrn Vawr, her four-bedroom<br />

property on the outskirts<br />

of the peaceful Easter Ross fishing<br />

village of Portmahomack in<br />

the Scottish Highlands.<br />

“Fortunately, it’s all in my<br />

mind and in photographs, so I<br />

can go back any time I want.”<br />

Perry moved into Tyrn Vawr a<br />

quarter of a century ago and has<br />

written most of her books there.<br />

But in Christchurch she is<br />

remembered for the shocking<br />

murder of friend Pauline Parker’s<br />

mother, Honora Parker, in 1954.<br />

With Pauline, her school<br />

friend at Christchurch Girls<br />

High School, Honora was lured<br />

SPACIOUS: Anne Perry’s house has been converted from the remains of an old barn. Italian chandeliers hang from the ceiling.<br />

to the Port Hills near Victoria<br />

park, where they bashed her<br />

over the head with a brick in a<br />

stocking.<br />

Both girls were jailed for five<br />

years. <strong>The</strong>y were considered too<br />

young for the death penalty.<br />

Hulme disappeared from New<br />

Zealand after her release.<br />

In 1994, Peter Jackson<br />

turned the story into the<br />

film Heavenly Creatures and<br />

Kate Winslet played Hulme’s<br />

character.<br />

Perry has said of her part in<br />

the killing that she “made a profoundly<br />

wrong decision”.<br />

Having been told that she<br />

INFAMOUS:<br />

Anne Perry,<br />

formerly<br />

Juliet Hulme<br />

(right), is<br />

selling her<br />

Scottish<br />

Highlands<br />

home.<br />

would be going to live in South<br />

Africa, and with Parker’s mother<br />

standing in the way of the two<br />

teenagers both moving there,<br />

she feared Parker would take<br />

her own life “and it would be my<br />

fault”.<br />

Perry told <strong>The</strong> Daily Mail: “I<br />

was guilty and it was the right<br />

place for me to be,” she said of<br />

the jail sentence.<br />

Upon release, Perry took various<br />

jobs and for a time lived in<br />

the United States, before settling<br />

in Portmahomack.<br />

She published her first book<br />

under the name Anne Perry in<br />

1979.<br />

It was <strong>The</strong> Cater Street Hangman,<br />

the first in her Inspector<br />

Pitt series, which two decades<br />

later was turned into an ITV<br />

television movie starring Keeley<br />

Hawes.<br />

Perry, who has written more<br />

than 50 novels and who published<br />

the 32nd Inspector Pitt<br />

story last year, has done most<br />

of her work while living at the<br />

Scottish home, which she is particularly<br />

attached to because she<br />

built it herself – practically from<br />

scratch.<br />

It is now on sale for offers over<br />

£440,000 (NZ$790,000).<br />

Originally, she explains, “it<br />

was a wreck next door to the<br />

house I was living in. I heard<br />

they had got planning permission<br />

to make it into a shop that<br />

would mend motor-cycles and<br />

lawnmowers and I thought: ‘Not<br />

next to me you don’t’.<br />

“So I bought it in self-defence<br />

and then I looked at the ruins<br />

and thought it would make a<br />

marvellous house.”<br />

In the course of her writing<br />

career in Scotland, Perry spent<br />

most of her time at work in her<br />

special study, which has windows<br />

on three sides.<br />

<strong>The</strong> contemporary look of the<br />

property belies the fact that it has<br />

been converted from the remains<br />

of an old barn.<br />

Built in the shape of an H, the<br />

property has a spacious kitchen,<br />

library and sun room, and a<br />

conservatory that looks out on<br />

to a courtyard with a pond and<br />

water feature.<br />

Upstairs, there are views of the<br />

Scottish Highlands.<br />

“You can see five counties,”<br />

Perry explains: “Caithness,<br />

Sutherland, Ross, Invernessshire,<br />

and Moray.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> dining room is capable of<br />

seating 20 people and a pair of<br />

Italian chandeliers hang from<br />

the ceiling in the grand hall.<br />

A keen lover of wildlife, Perry<br />

has sought to protect the beautiful<br />

surroundings she has enjoyed<br />

for future generations by buying<br />

up a neighbouring 7ha field and<br />

creating a trust to ensure it isn’t<br />

built on.<br />

Golden Oldies tsunami to hit city<br />

In just under a year,<br />

Christchurch will host<br />

the largest sporting<br />

event it has ever seen<br />

– but this one is more<br />

about having fun<br />

than winning. Bridget<br />

Rutherford reports<br />

THEY ENJOY social sport and a<br />

good after-match function.<br />

And next year, more than<br />

10,000 Golden Oldies will come<br />

to Christchurch in the largest<br />

sporting event the city has ever<br />

seen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> aim? Fun, friendship and<br />

fraternity.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Casino<br />

Golden Oldies Sports Celebration<br />

will run throughout April at<br />

different locations in the city.<br />

But this event, organised by<br />

sport event management, tour<br />

and travel company Vintage<br />

Sport and Leisure, will be different<br />

to any others in Golden<br />

Oldies’ history.<br />

Vintage Sport and Leisure<br />

chief executive Peter McDermott<br />

said it was designed especially<br />

for the city following the September<br />

4, 2010, and February 22,<br />

2011, earthquakes.<br />

“[Canterbury Earthquake<br />

Recovery Authority] asked if<br />

we could do something that<br />

would be a bit different and<br />

encouraging for people to learn<br />

that Christchurch, despite its<br />

problems, was well and truly<br />

regenerating.”<br />

Normally, Golden Oldies’<br />

tournaments for each sport are<br />

held in different international<br />

cities every two years. But come<br />

April, the event will combine 10<br />

different sports.<br />

Lawn bowls, golf, squash,<br />

football and basketball are new,<br />

while the traditional rugby,<br />

cricket, netball, hockey and softball<br />

will feature as well.<br />

“We’ve never done 10 sports<br />

in one place. This is designed<br />

specially for Christchurch,” Mr<br />

HAVING FUN: Christchurch’s Jacqui Francis, Jude Tuuta, Debbie Elstob, Paula Goodman and<br />

Rose Cavanagh went to Hobart last year to compete in Golden Oldies netball.<br />

McDermott said.<br />

“We anticipate about 10,000<br />

participants, of which probably<br />

75 per cent to 80 per cent will<br />

come from overseas or outside of<br />

Christchurch.”<br />

Hagley Park will be the event<br />

hub, with rugby, cricket, football<br />

and netball played there.<br />

Nunweek Park, Cowles<br />

Stadium, Mizuno Ballpark and<br />

Papanui Bowling Club will<br />

host the other codes, with golf<br />

being played across Harewood,<br />

Christchurch, Pegasus and<br />

Terrace Downs golf clubs. <strong>The</strong><br />

squash venue will be finalised<br />

soon.<br />

Mr McDermott said although<br />

Golden Oldies was open to<br />

anyone over 35, the bulk of participants<br />

were between 45-65.<br />

Most participants were from<br />

New Zealand and Australia. But<br />

competitors from Japan, Russia,<br />

the United States, Canada, England<br />

and Ireland will make the<br />

journey as well.<br />

<strong>The</strong> oldest rugby player who<br />

had taken part was 87, while at<br />

last year’s Golden Oldies World<br />

Rugby Festival in Cardiff there<br />

were 10 players aged over 80.<br />

It’s not just the sport they<br />

come for. “<strong>The</strong>y’re a very social<br />

group,” Mr McDermott said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y enjoy their sport and to<br />

mix and mingle and meet other<br />

people.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> event is expected to bring<br />

$33 million of direct economic<br />

benefit to Canterbury.<br />

“Based on our past history,<br />

they are big spenders on entertainment,<br />

food and beverage,<br />

and retail.”<br />

Canterbury Chamber of<br />

Commerce chief executive Peter<br />

Townsend said the city now had<br />

the infrastructure to accommodate<br />

an event of this magnitude.<br />

“It will have a very positive<br />

economic impact,” he said.<br />

“We’re going to have a massive<br />

influx of people who will be able<br />

to see first-hand what stage we<br />

are at recreating our city, and<br />

how good it’s all starting to look,<br />

and they will go away and tell<br />

their friends and family what is<br />

on offer here. That will be a huge<br />

stimulus for the city.”<br />

City councillor Tim Scandrett<br />

said those attending were generally<br />

big spenders and it was great<br />

to be able to showcase postquake<br />

Christchurch.<br />

“It’s really important to show<br />

that we are back up and running.”<br />

For some participants, Golden<br />

Oldies isn’t their first taste of<br />

international competition.<br />

Previously, it has attracted<br />

ex-internationals such as Brumbies<br />

coach and former Wallaby<br />

Stephen Larkham, former All<br />

Black prop Greg Somerville and<br />

West Indies cricketing legend<br />

Joel Garner.<br />

But Mr McDermott said that<br />

didn’t intimidate other competitors.<br />

In fact, it was quite the<br />

opposite.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y love it.”<br />

At one event, Larkham played<br />

10min for every team and 10min<br />

against so everyone got to play<br />

with and against him, Mr Mc-<br />

Dermott said. It was too early to<br />

say whether there would be any<br />

familiar faces playing next year.<br />

But Mr McDermott said Garner<br />

was likely to attend, although<br />

he was not expected to take to<br />

the pitch.<br />

Although most of the games<br />

were social, there were still<br />

heated rivalries.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re are rivalries, some<br />

teams come back frequently.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Australian and Kiwis have<br />

a good, friendly rivalry, but they<br />

like to have the bragging rights.”<br />

And sometimes, there is an<br />

opportunity to win a world<br />

record.<br />

At Cardiff’s Golden Oldies<br />

World Rugby Festival,<br />

participants broke the Guinness<br />

World Record for the largest<br />

scrum.<br />

Welsh referee Nigel Owens<br />

officiated the scrum, which was<br />

made up of 1300 people.<br />

“We’re looking for ideas<br />

to do something similar in<br />

Christchurch,” Mr McDermott<br />

said.<br />

He said it would “probably” be<br />

the first and last time the Golden<br />

Oldies’ event will be held in this<br />

format, because it was difficult to<br />

find a city that could host every<br />

code.<br />

But it will be an event to<br />

remember for many.<br />

“Some of the friendships<br />

established 20 years ago are still<br />

very strong,” he said.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

Viewpoint<br />

Well-deserved Jim<br />

THERE IS one name<br />

on this year’s Queen’s<br />

Birthday Honours<br />

List that I want to<br />

especially celebrate.<br />

And that name is<br />

James Patrick Anderton.<br />

Jim’s political exploits and<br />

achievements on the national<br />

stage are well known. But it’s<br />

the local achievements of a man,<br />

who understands to his very core<br />

that all politics are local, which<br />

I want to acknowledge. What<br />

he saw in his own street and<br />

throughout his electorate shaped<br />

his views.<br />

I was 10-years-old when<br />

Jim became my local member<br />

of Parliament. I still vividly<br />

remember in 1984 watching Jim<br />

holding a street corner meeting<br />

outside our Spreydon family<br />

home.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re was a buzz about that<br />

election and I was captivated by<br />

the idea that it had come to our<br />

street. I was also pretty stoked<br />

that someone I had seen on the<br />

telly was standing outside our<br />

house.<br />

Throughout my childhood, I<br />

watched a man with immense<br />

courage and conviction stand<br />

up for the people he represented.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se were hard times for many<br />

in south Christchurch, as the<br />

Addington rail yards closed and<br />

other jobs disappeared. It was<br />

these people that Jim stood up<br />

for. No issue was too small for<br />

Jim to get involved in.<br />

When the council came up<br />

with a plan to cut down the trees<br />

in our street a group of local<br />

residents, including my mum,<br />

called in Jim. He came and met<br />

with everyone and today those<br />

trees are still standing.<br />

When I began volunteering<br />

on Jim’s campaigns in the<br />

late 1990s, I met a kind and<br />

caring man for whom political<br />

decisions never seemed overly<br />

tortured.<br />

He knows what is right and<br />

what is wrong. From Jim, I<br />

have learnt many things –<br />

among them the importance<br />

of local people and what it is to<br />

represent your neighbours, the<br />

need to take a stand and to be<br />

unwavering in your convictions.<br />

Well done and thank you Jim<br />

from all of us.<br />

•Megan Woods is Labour’s<br />

Canterbury spokeswoman<br />

Mackenzie Kane had<br />

given up on ever seeing her<br />

little dog Baxter again. Yet<br />

somehow the 10-year-old<br />

bichon frise was returned<br />

home after being lost for<br />

more than a year<br />

Denise Kerr – My son’s<br />

[dog]went missing for a few<br />

hours and we were devastated. I<br />

can’t imagine what it was like for<br />

a year. So pleased you have your<br />

[dog] home. I bet he is too.<br />

Coral Douglas – How can<br />

someone keep a dog that doesn’t<br />

belong to them. Did they not<br />

think of the family in pain<br />

missing their beloved family<br />

member?<br />

Snuggle Inn Boarding<br />

Kennels – Another happy<br />

story. Enjoy having your cute<br />

boy Baxter home.<br />

Caryll Craig – Look at<br />

that face. I bet someone else<br />

thought he was beautiful too and<br />

‘borrowed’ him for a while.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council said<br />

they will fix the cracked<br />

and uneven tiles in Akaroa<br />

township after pensioner<br />

Sue Stewart tripped and<br />

grazed her face<br />

Dale Bradley-Page –<br />

Good on you. So pleased your<br />

injuries weren’t much worse.<br />

You could have had a nasty<br />

broken wrist or hip. Councils<br />

spend too much time making<br />

reports on what needs doing<br />

instead of just getting on with<br />

doing it.<br />

Maree Clayton – Look<br />

what’s planted there. Trees!<br />

<strong>The</strong>y grow their roots, push up<br />

the pavers, damage footpaths<br />

and roads. And still the council<br />

plant them on our footpaths,<br />

along our streets. <strong>The</strong>ir leaves<br />

block storm water drainage and<br />

gutters.<br />

Kim Mckinley – Good on<br />

her, everyone needs to get on<br />

board with this, it’s disgusting in<br />

any town/city and so dangerous<br />

for the elderly and mums with<br />

prams.<br />

Survey shows our well-being ‘continues to improve’<br />

THE REGENERATION process<br />

often focuses on physical things<br />

– land, housing, infrastructure<br />

and facilities – but the health<br />

and well-being of the people<br />

of greater Christchurch is even<br />

more important.<br />

That’s why the Canterbury<br />

District Health Board and Ministry<br />

of Health closely monitor<br />

our social recovery. A key aspect<br />

of the monitoring process is<br />

CDHB’s Canterbury well-being<br />

survey.<br />

<strong>The</strong> survey monitors perceptions<br />

of recovery and identifies<br />

trends in the community’s wellbeing.<br />

I’m pleased to say the latest<br />

survey, released on Tuesday,<br />

shows the well-being of greater<br />

Christchurch residents continues<br />

to improve.<br />

As part of my ongoing commitment<br />

to keeping the community<br />

as up-to-date as possible, the<br />

most recent Greater Christchurch<br />

Dashboard features data<br />

Nicky Wagner<br />

from the well-being survey.<br />

It shows 82 per cent of respondents<br />

– or more than eight<br />

out of 10 – rate their quality of<br />

life positively, unchanged from<br />

April 2016, but up from 74 per<br />

cent in September 2012. <strong>The</strong> proportion<br />

of people who say their<br />

quality of life has deteriorated<br />

also remains unchanged from<br />

April 2016, at 13 per cent.<br />

Stress is still a factor in greater<br />

Christchurch, with 72 per cent<br />

saying they’ve experienced some<br />

negative stress in the last 12<br />

months, but significantly fewer<br />

are indicating distress and anxiety<br />

associated with aftershocks,<br />

or being in a damaged environment/surrounded<br />

by construction<br />

work (11 and 10 per cent<br />

respectively). In the early days<br />

after the quakes, these figures<br />

were much higher – 42 and 30<br />

per cent respectively.<br />

<strong>The</strong> data tells us that although<br />

there are definitely still earthquake-related<br />

stressors in greater<br />

Christchurch, the situation is<br />

improving over time. Fewer<br />

people are affected by ongoing<br />

insurance and rebuild issues and<br />

more people are responding to<br />

tangible signs of progress.<br />

Everyone in Greater Christchurch<br />

has been stretched over the<br />

last six years – we know that from<br />

our own experiences and talking<br />

to friends and family. A survey<br />

like this provides a bigger, clearer<br />

picture of our overall experience<br />

and I think many people will be<br />

reassured by the results.<br />

GARDENING<br />

ADVICE with<br />

$80<br />

PRIZE<br />

PACK!<br />

We have a town section and wish to plant an apple and a<br />

QUESTION plum tree. To have fruit producing over a long time we<br />

are thinking of planting grafted trees with two varieties<br />

on each tree. However, we have heard of back to back planting where a tree of<br />

each variety is planted beside each other in the same hole. This would be<br />

slightly more expensive. Which system is best? Do Gala and Pacifi c Rose<br />

apples complement each other or should we plant Gala and Braeburn? What<br />

about Santa Rosa and Omega plums?<br />

Today’s winning question came from Wendy Holden.<br />

Congratulations!<br />

A double grafted tree is far more preferable<br />

ANSWER than planting two single trees side by side.<br />

Competition for root space, nutrients and water<br />

all work against the second option.<br />

With apples, the Gala and Braeburn combination will provide an<br />

extended season of picking ripe fruit. Gala commences ripening in mid<br />

to late February, while Braeburn (a late apple), ripens in April. Braeburn<br />

is also an excellent ‘keeper apple’, therefore as your tree matures and<br />

provides plentiful apples, you can successfully store them for eating until<br />

early winter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> plum combination you have enquired about is perfect as plums have specifi c pollinators. Fortunately,<br />

Santa Rosa pollenates Omega, and Omega pollenates Santa Rosa. Both are superb eating plums and extend<br />

the fruiting season with Santa Rosa ripening in January and Omega in February. As plums can grow into very<br />

large trees, prune them to a height of three to four metres so the fruit is easily accessible and less prone to ‘bird<br />

raiding’. New season apple and plum trees should arrive in local garden centres in the next few weeks.<br />

Celery – good things take time<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

LIKE MOST winter vegetables,<br />

celery takes time to grow and<br />

mature.<br />

Maybe it’s cheaper and it’s<br />

certainly easier to buy from the<br />

supermarket. But as many of our<br />

customers know, growing your<br />

own vegetables is about more<br />

than that.<br />

Namely, knowing what’s gone<br />

on to your food before you eat<br />

it, and the sense of satisfaction<br />

and enjoyment from growing it<br />

yourself.<br />

To grow great celery, the first<br />

thing you need to do is prepare<br />

your soil. Celery likes soil that’s<br />

well- drained and sweet (and in<br />

a full sun position), so make sure<br />

you add lime before planting.<br />

If you’re equipped to measure<br />

PH levels, the reading should be<br />

between five and six.<br />

Celery also grows best in a<br />

garden that’s raised and filled with<br />

potting mix – so if you can make<br />

this combination happen, you’re<br />

off to a great start.<br />

When you’re ready to plant,<br />

dig a hole approximately 3cm<br />

deep. Pop in your seedling and<br />

use compost to create a mound<br />

around the plant. This blanches<br />

the base of the stems and keeps<br />

them tender.<br />

<strong>The</strong> good news is you don’t<br />

have to keep mounding like you<br />

do with some plants – just keep<br />

your celery watered and that<br />

should do the trick.<br />

Plant each seedling 20 to 25cm<br />

apart and continue this process in<br />

rows across your garden. Celery<br />

grows best this way, making it a<br />

good companion plant for dwarf<br />

beans, carrots, spring onions,<br />

parsley and bok choy. In fact, if<br />

you have any of these in your garden<br />

and they’re ready to harvest,<br />

celery is the perfect replacement<br />

plant.<br />

Your plants will develop slowly<br />

at first, but in about 12 to 14<br />

weeks, your celery should be<br />

ready to harvest.<br />

SUNNY: Plant celery 20 to 25cm apart in rows across your<br />

garden.<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre/Arts<br />

Neighbourhood unites<br />

in fear of lunar eclipse<br />

Empire Drive<br />

Written and produced by<br />

Two Productions<br />

Reviewed by Georgia<br />

O’Connor-Harding<br />

Not knowing your next door<br />

neighbour from a bar of soap is<br />

commonly a sad reality in a city.<br />

Inspired by disconnected<br />

neighbourhoods, Two Productions<br />

has created a relevant,<br />

original show about what<br />

happens to neighbours when a<br />

natural disaster strikes.<br />

Set in a typical residential<br />

cul-de-sac, Empire Drive is filled<br />

with every kind of character you<br />

would expect to see in a street.<br />

A loved-up, middle-aged couple<br />

called Mr and Mrs Midas; a<br />

party-mad flat full of students<br />

known as the nymphs; and a<br />

lonely elderly lady named Tiresias<br />

are some of the colourful<br />

characters inspired by ancient<br />

mythology living on the street.<br />

<strong>The</strong> story begins with Empire<br />

Drive residents “travelling” onto<br />

the stage in an imaginary bus<br />

with loud music playing in the<br />

background.<br />

Although I was not a fan of<br />

the music, it represented a busy<br />

<strong>Star</strong> city lifestyle 129mm and x 90mm the daily 06/10/16 grind<br />

of work or school.<br />

Up until the feared lunar<br />

eclipse occurs, the only time<br />

the neighbours interact with<br />

each other was when they were<br />

putting the rubbish bins out.<br />

But that all changes when they<br />

worry they may never see the<br />

light again and turn to each<br />

other for support.<br />

It is difficult to choose a favourite<br />

performer because there<br />

were so many characters with<br />

different stories. But the show’s<br />

strong message shone through<br />

about getting to know your<br />

neighbours during a disaster.<br />

For a group of people aged<br />

between 16-22 to create such an<br />

original show is admirable and<br />

I think the city needs to support<br />

new work. Hopefully, next time,<br />

the company will be able to<br />

perform for a season longer than<br />

one night.<br />

Married life on stage<br />

• By Caitlin Miles<br />

.kiwi<br />

THE LYTTELTON Arts Factory<br />

will hold its opening show of the<br />

season tomorrow night.<br />

Let’s Not Argue will be art imitating<br />

a certain amount of life –<br />

husband and wife David Ladderman<br />

and Lizzie Tollemache will<br />

put their real life relationship on<br />

display when they play husband<br />

and wife in the show.<br />

<strong>The</strong> original play depicts the<br />

best, the worst and the funniest<br />

parts of the everyday interactions<br />

between husband and wife, including<br />

the ever-changing gender<br />

roles and dynamics.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 60min show includes<br />

100 moments, four fights, three<br />

make-ups and 24 cups of tea.<br />

Tollemache said out of all of the<br />

shows the couple has done, and<br />

roles they’ve played, this was the<br />

scariest.<br />

“We have juggled chainsaws<br />

and been in life-threatening situations<br />

purely for other people’s<br />

entertainment, but this is the<br />

most terrifying thing we have<br />

ever done; performing as a married<br />

couple, with my own husband,<br />

is just so real,” Tollemache<br />

said.<br />

It’s not the first time the couple<br />

has acted together, they played<br />

together in Dunstan Creek<br />

Séance and Mr & Mrs Alexander.<br />

Let’s Not Argue is directed<br />

by Mike Friend, founder<br />

of the Lyttelton Arts<br />

Factory (formerly<br />

Loons <strong>The</strong>atre),<br />

and choreographed<br />

by Neil<br />

Fisher, who is<br />

internationally<br />

renowned for<br />

his work.<br />

“It is even<br />

better that<br />

they have such<br />

great chemistry<br />

on stage since<br />

they are a<br />

real couple,”<br />

Friend said.<br />

Ladderman<br />

and<br />

Tollemache<br />

have been<br />

together for<br />

six years and<br />

married for<br />

nearly two – the show just misses<br />

their two-year wedding anniversary.<br />

Friend said every couple will be<br />

able to relate to this performance.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> show is universal; it aims<br />

to portray the untold story of<br />

Thursday <strong>June</strong> 8 <strong>2017</strong><br />

REAL LIFE: David<br />

Ladderman and<br />

Lizzie Tollemache in<br />

Let’s Not Argue. ​<br />

every relationship.<br />

Anyone will be<br />

able to see parts<br />

of their relationship<br />

on display<br />

and that’s what<br />

makes this<br />

play so great,”<br />

Travel<br />

Sample the shops and cuisine of Seoul<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

WHEN I mentioned to<br />

my Korean hairdresser in<br />

Christchurch that I was heading<br />

to Seoul, his response was hardly<br />

reaffirming. “Why would you<br />

want to go there?”<br />

Sure, Seoul doesn’t enjoy the<br />

reputational hype of Tokyo,<br />

Shanghai or Bangkok, but as a<br />

quick stopover or side-trip, the<br />

city struck me as immensely<br />

engaging.<br />

Arriving into Seoul by fast train<br />

from Incheon Airport, one of<br />

the first imposing landmarks to<br />

stop me in my tracks was Namdaemun,<br />

the city’s South Gate,<br />

resplendently restored after being<br />

bombed during the Korean War.<br />

<strong>The</strong> gate forms part of Seoul’s<br />

old city walls, of which 70 per<br />

cent are remarkably intact. Over<br />

600 years old, the 18km circuit<br />

wraps around the city core and<br />

threads together the four guardian<br />

mountains that keep watch<br />

over Seoul. <strong>The</strong> city continues<br />

rebuilding the missing chunks but<br />

if you’re up for a power-walk, in<br />

every sense, head to the Bukaksan<br />

section.<br />

<strong>The</strong> highest of the four peaks at<br />

342m, it stands guard over Korea’s<br />

seat of power and the summit<br />

viewpoint overlooks the Blue<br />

House, Korea’s splendid presidential<br />

palace.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s a variety of royal palaces<br />

clustered around the central city<br />

including Gyeongbokgung,<br />

Seoul’s premier palace which<br />

has performed a Phoenix-like<br />

resurrection, from the cinders<br />

of destruction. It was from here<br />

that the Joseon Dynasty ruled<br />

the roost for 600 years, before the<br />

Japanese muscled in.<br />

A highly theatrical changing<br />

of the guard is performed daily,<br />

purely as a patriotic fist-pump,<br />

around the entrance gate of<br />

Gwanghwamun. <strong>The</strong> blaze of<br />

colourfully-costumed regalia is<br />

loved by the locals as much as<br />

the selfie-stick toting tourists.<br />

Gyeongbokgung translates as the<br />

Palace of Shining Happiness, a<br />

colossal compound of astounding<br />

CEREMONY: A highly theatrical changing of the guard is performed daily at the entrance gate of Gwanghwamun. Right – <strong>The</strong> city’s<br />

South Gate, restored after it was damaged during the Korean War.<br />

BINGE-WORTHY: Street eats in the Seoul markets.<br />

architecture, ornamental gardens<br />

and vivid history.<br />

It previously contained 800<br />

buildings and 200 gates. <strong>The</strong> Joseon<br />

kings had several thousand<br />

servants at their disposal within<br />

the royal household, including<br />

500 ladies-in-waiting and 400<br />

eunuchs.<br />

Trying to get your head around<br />

the sheer extravagance of this imperial<br />

relic is best decoded with a<br />

good guide.<br />

I explored the palace as part of<br />

a city tour with VIP Travel, who<br />

run a great-value and illuminating<br />

guided sightseeing service.<br />

www.vviptravel.com<br />

Perfectly perched in the heart of<br />

Seoul’s cultural district, Courtyard<br />

by Marriott Seoul Namdaemun<br />

delivers a distinct experience,<br />

with the carnival colour of<br />

Namdaemun Market, right across<br />

the road.<br />

Just one year old, this engaging<br />

property still has new-hotel-smell,<br />

and elegantly furnished with all<br />

the creature comforts you’d expect<br />

from an ultra-contemporary<br />

hotel. Wi-fi is free and lightningfast,<br />

guestrooms are spacious and<br />

the city views are electrifying.<br />

You’ll enjoy 24-hour access to<br />

the generously equipped fitness<br />

centre, outstanding concierge services,<br />

impeccable hospitality and<br />

all-day dining at Momo Café.<br />

If you want to push the boat<br />

out, upgrade to executive lounge<br />

access, where you can enjoy an<br />

indulgent and exclusive space<br />

loaded with privileges, headlined<br />

by complimentary Happy Hour<br />

drinks and meal-worthy bites,<br />

showcasing a wide palette of<br />

Asian culinary delights. courtyard.marriott.com<br />

<strong>The</strong> streets of Seoul are packed<br />

with culinary delights and a onestop-shop<br />

for bargain buys and<br />

great bites is the Namdaemun<br />

Market, a frenetic night-and-day<br />

emporium that sprawls for blocks<br />

and is Korea’s biggest market.<br />

Whether its clothing, accessories<br />

or handicrafts, each section<br />

comprises hundreds of stalls,<br />

spilling across pedestrianised<br />

streets.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sensory overload is most<br />

graphically illustrated by the profusion<br />

of food stalls, sizzling with<br />

binge-worthy things on sticks and<br />

in bowls, which will soon challenge<br />

your stomach space.<br />

Best bites include odeng, fishcake<br />

skewers seasoned in springonion<br />

soup; tteokbokki, spicy rice<br />

cakes that are revved up with redpepper<br />

paste; and dakkochi, the<br />

ubiquitous barbequed chicken on<br />

skewers in a sticky, tangy sauce.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are nearly as pervasive<br />

as kimchi, Korea’s great staple of<br />

salted, seasoned and fermented<br />

vegetables.<br />

Don’t leave town without trying<br />

Korean doughnuts, hotteok, spicy<br />

pancakes stuffed with sunflower<br />

seeds, peanuts, red beans and<br />

honey. Namdaemun Market is<br />

centrally located in Myeongdong,<br />

which is Seoul’s shopaholic<br />

mecca. All of the global fashion<br />

heavyweights are here, alongside<br />

chic Asian faves and the templelike<br />

department stores.<br />

Pop into Mitsukoshi, the Harrods<br />

of Seoul, and the city’s oldest<br />

department store with an opulent<br />

food hall in the basement. My<br />

local guide told me that 20 pr cent<br />

of Seoul’s women have facial surgery.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y binge on cosmetic perfectionism<br />

and you’ll see a surfeit<br />

of specimens in Mitsukoshi.<br />

FAST FACTS<br />

•I booked my side-trip<br />

to Seoul from Japan<br />

through the leading<br />

global airfare comparison<br />

platform, Cheapflights.<br />

Apparently, the popularity<br />

of Cheapflights has now<br />

Strong<br />

demand for<br />

engineering<br />

diploma<br />

graduates<br />

Employers can’t get enough of Ara Institute of Canterbury’s<br />

Diploma in Engineering graduates. <strong>The</strong> problem is, there just<br />

aren’t enough of them to keep up with demand.<br />

Dr Michael Edmonds, Head of<br />

Engineering and Architectural Studies at<br />

Ara, says places are still available on the<br />

diploma course starting in July.<br />

“We’ve had good numbers of enrolments<br />

so far, but with ongoing demand from<br />

employers for graduates, we want to make<br />

sure every place is filled, to help meet this<br />

demand.”<br />

Dr Edmonds says many people assume<br />

you need a degree – which can take three<br />

years at Ara, or four years at Canterbury or<br />

Auckland universities - to have a career in<br />

engineering, but that’s not the case.<br />

“Graduates of our two-year diploma earn<br />

an average salary of $60,000 in their first<br />

five years on the job, and they have great<br />

opportunities for advancement, both here<br />

and overseas. You might choose to work in<br />

a lab or workshop, or you can just as easily<br />

work in design, management or consulting<br />

roles with our diploma qualification.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Diploma in Engineering offers<br />

three specialisations; civil, electrical<br />

and mechanical. An ability in maths is<br />

necessary but you don’t need to be a maths<br />

whizz. Entry requirements include passes<br />

in algebra and calculus at NCEA Level 2,<br />

however if you don’t have those, Ara has<br />

foundation programmes designed to help<br />

you attain them.<br />

In a further effort to help meet industry<br />

demand for engineering graduates, both the<br />

Diploma in Engineering and the Bachelor<br />

of Engineering Technology can be studied<br />

part time at Ara.<br />

STUDY INDUSTRIAL<br />

that are driving the constantly-evolving<br />

health and wellbeing sector, and develop a<br />

framework of knowledge that they can apply<br />

to different situations,” she says.<br />

Enrolments are now open for the one<br />

year programme, which will commence in<br />

February <strong>2017</strong> at the Institute’s Christchurch<br />

and Timaru campuses. Three specialisations<br />

are available: Social Services, Mental Health<br />

and Addiction Support, and a Community<br />

Human Services Manager Deirdre Richardson<br />

Facilitation specialisation that could lead<br />

to roles including disability support and<br />

diversional therapy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new programme was developed after<br />

extensive consultation with industry and<br />

has a strong work-integrated learning focus.<br />

50 credits are linked to a 200-hour practical<br />

placement in the workforce, overseen by the<br />

expert tutors at Ara.<br />

Students from all specialisations will<br />

complete 70 credits in core courses that will<br />

prepare them to work with a wide range of<br />

people, using up-to-the-minute practices.<br />

Richardson says that the programme<br />

will also provide students with valuable<br />

opportunities to learn from others who<br />

are working in different areas or that<br />

have personal experience in their chosen<br />

specialisation.<br />

“It will encourage students to learn about<br />

roles outside where they undertake<br />

their placement, exposing them<br />

to the broad scope of services and<br />

practices in the industry.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> programme has been<br />

designed to be as accessible as<br />

possible for students. It will be held<br />

during school hours on just two<br />

days of the week and will follow<br />

the school calendar year. Part-time<br />

study options are available and<br />

Ara has a comprehensive range<br />

of support services to ensure a<br />

smooth transition into study.<br />

HOW TO PLAY<br />

It’s like sudoku: each<br />

vertical and horizontal<br />

line has to contain<br />

the numbers 1-6, and<br />

the numbers can’t be<br />

repeated in any row or<br />

column.<br />

But it’s sudoku with a<br />

twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />

each heavily outlined<br />

set of squares, called<br />

cages, must produce the<br />

number in the top corner.<br />

For example, 5+ means<br />

the numbers add up to 5,<br />

9x means the numbers<br />

multiply to equal 9.<br />

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />

same line or row.<br />

Bodene Thompson’s Warriors future in doubt<br />

• By Michael Burgess<br />

BODENE Thompson’s days at<br />

the Warriors could be numbered.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Warriors second rower is<br />

off contract at the end of this season,<br />

and it appears unlikely that<br />

he will be at Mt Smart in 2018<br />

and beyond.<br />

Negotiations have been ongoing<br />

between the player’s representatives<br />

and the club for some<br />

time, but the NZ Herald understands<br />

that things are currently<br />

at a stalemate.<br />

It doesn’t help Thompson’s case<br />

that the club have signed Tohu<br />

Harris and Leivaha Pulu for next<br />

season, and the new duo are<br />

likely be the first choice second<br />

row combination, alongside<br />

Simon Mannering at lock.<br />

That would mean Thompson<br />

would slip down the pecking<br />

order at the club, while the<br />

continuing emergence of Bunty<br />

Afoa and Isaiah Papalii will<br />

further boost back row stocks at<br />

Mt Smart.<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />

.kiwi<br />

Thompson hasn’t helped his<br />

cause this season, with a series<br />

of unconvincing performances,<br />

including a sub-standard display<br />

in the Warriors 32-24 loss to the<br />

Eels in Sydney. Thompson was<br />

one of the best players at the club<br />

in the 2015 season – especially<br />

in the first half of the year – and<br />

seemed a great recruit. But the<br />

28-year-old has struggled to<br />

recapture his form since then.<br />

He’s been part of a vulnerable<br />

right edge defensively, with the<br />

Warriors being torn apart down<br />

that side in several games this<br />

season. Sure, Thompson wasn’t<br />

helped by playing out of position<br />

in the first three rounds (at<br />

hooker in round one against the<br />

Knights and in the centres in<br />

rounds two and three) but he has<br />

also struggled to match his output<br />

from the previous two years.<br />

He’s averaging only 50 running<br />

metres a game this season (down<br />

from 85m in the previous two<br />

years) and hasn’t had the same<br />

<strong>2017</strong> NRL<br />

Thursday <strong>June</strong> 8 <strong>2017</strong><br />

impact with ball in hand.<br />

“I don’t know my plans for<br />

next season yet,” Thompson told<br />

NZ Herald last month. “I will<br />

handle it week by week and then<br />

whatever happens, happens. Obviously<br />

you always want to stay<br />

at the Warriors but you need to<br />

take care of business out on the<br />

field each week first.”<br />

Irish look to sign Crusaders prop<br />

CRUSADERS PROP Oliver Jager may be lured back<br />

to Ireland to play for powerhouse club Leinster.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 21-year-old arrived from Ireland in 2013 to<br />

develop his game and earned himself a spot in the<br />

Crusaders squad this year.<br />

But reports out of Ireland say Leinster who were<br />

semi-finalists in both this year’s Pro 12 and European<br />

Rugby Champions Cup, could be interested in<br />

signing him.<br />

“Look, we’ll see,” Jager told the Herald in Ireland.<br />

“I’m out of contract at the<br />

end of this season, but we’re working on a new one at<br />

the moment. Nothing’s been confirmed yet.<br />

“It’s literally gone day-by-day. Now, it’s going yearby-year<br />

and, hopefully, the next few years will go<br />

every two, three years.<br />

“That’s just the way rugby is. You never really<br />

know where you’re going to end up.”<br />

Jager grew up in Dublin and played for Ireland at<br />

school level, representing his country in the under-18<br />

European championship.<br />

He joined the New Brighton club after making the<br />

move from Ireland, initially playing for the colts and<br />

then the division one team.<br />

Last year he made the Canterbury ITM Cup team<br />

and produced a number of impressive performances<br />

which earned him a spot in the Crusaders.<br />

Jager started for the NZ Barbarians in their 7-13<br />

loss to the Lions in Whangarei on Saturday night,<br />

where he matched up with England’s Mako Vunipola<br />

and Ireland captain Rory Best in the front row.<br />

Stolen trailer mars home<br />

rally win for Summerfield<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

MATT Summerfield’s<br />

push to win this year’s<br />

New Zealand Rally<br />

Championship has been<br />

grounded following the<br />

theft of his car transporter.<br />

Summerfield, 25, was on<br />

cloud nine after winning<br />

his home event, the Canterbury<br />

Rally on Sunday.<br />

However, he now needs<br />

to hope the transporter<br />

is found before the next<br />

round of the national<br />

championship in Coromandel<br />

in August.<br />

“I’m pretty gutted. We<br />

use it to get to all of our<br />

events,” said Summerfield.<br />

<strong>The</strong> transporter was<br />

stolen from Colenso St,<br />

Sumner, on Sunday night,<br />

just hours after one of the<br />

biggest wins in his career.<br />

<strong>The</strong> registration is 1129L.<br />

It has a single axle with<br />

new BNT wheels, it has tilt<br />

ramps and LED lights and<br />

has a black draw-bar.<br />

“We’ve had it for nearly<br />

20 years. Dad (Les) built it<br />

himself in 1999 to transport<br />

his car at the time,”<br />

said Summerfield.<br />

Since it’s disappearance,<br />

a Facebook post seeking<br />

information on the trans-<br />

conditions in Ashley<br />

Forest. PHOTO: ALLAN<br />

PRITCHARD<br />

porter has gained traction<br />

on social media. As of<br />

yesterday, the post had been<br />

shared by over 1500 people.<br />

“We’ve had a few offers<br />

to borrow a transporter<br />

which is really nice and<br />

people are really spreading<br />

the word to help track it<br />

down,” said Summerfield.<br />

On Sunday Summerfield<br />

and his sister Nicole (codriver)<br />

showed all of their<br />

class to lead home Ben<br />

Summerfield currently<br />

leads the NZRC mid-way<br />

through the season. After<br />

retiring from the opening<br />

round in Otago with a<br />

broken gearbox just 2km<br />

into the opening stage he<br />

has gone onto win the next<br />

two rounds in Whangarei<br />

and Canterbury.<br />

He is already battling<br />

against the odds, competing<br />

in a 10-year-old<br />

Subaru. <strong>The</strong> majority of the<br />

front-runners in the championship<br />

are operating new<br />

AP4 vehicles.<br />

<strong>The</strong> championship has<br />

three rounds remaining<br />

in Coromandel, Waitomo<br />

and Rally New Zealand.<br />

“Things are on track.<br />

We finished second in<br />

Coromandel last year so<br />

will go in with plenty of<br />

confidence,” said Summerfield.

Concussion continues to hamper Hurricanes season<br />

CONCUSSION continues to<br />

bedevil the Hurricanes season.<br />

Dane Coles remains in a<br />

frustrating holding pattern,<br />

unable to train at a high enough<br />

intensity to be in the clear.<br />

But assistant coach John<br />

Plumtree has revealed to the NZ<br />

Herald that lock Mark Abbott<br />

was a late scratching from the<br />

bench for the Force game due to<br />

concussion symptoms suffered<br />

after the Bulls game on May 28.<br />

Hooker Ricky Riccitelli took<br />

a head knock in the 34-12 win<br />

in Perth, but has since had no<br />

symptoms, so should be available<br />

to face the Chiefs in the capital<br />

tomorrow. Leni Apisai, fresh<br />

from a try and 30 effective<br />

minutes, will be ready to slot into<br />

the No 2 jersey if necessary.<br />

Happily, centre Matt Proctor,<br />

who was in sharp form early<br />

in the season until he too<br />

succumbed to concussion<br />

issues, came through 20 minutes<br />

unscathed on Monday for the<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.<br />

Hurricanes Development side in<br />

their 52-17 win over Wanganui<br />

at Cooks Gardens. He will be<br />

available to make his return<br />

tomorrow. His major hurdle now<br />

appears to be the incumbent<br />

midfield pairing of Ngani<br />

Laumape and Vince Aso, who<br />

have chalked up an astonishing<br />

28 tries between them.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hurricanes hold second<br />

spot in the New Zealand<br />

conference, four points clear of<br />

the Chiefs.<br />

A victory would not only<br />

retain their unbeaten home<br />

record, but just about seal fifth<br />

place and a more welcome<br />

quarter-final in Australia.<br />

Only after that will they allow<br />

themselves to think about their<br />

<strong>June</strong> 27 clash with the Lions.<br />

Plumtree and head coach<br />

Chris Boyd, who have their 50th<br />

game together as a Hurricanes<br />

coaching combination (for an<br />

imposing record of 40-9), will be<br />

wanting their charges to match<br />

Thursday <strong>June</strong> 8 <strong>2017</strong><br />

the staunch defensive effort<br />

in Perth, which has them, by<br />

two miserly points, as the most<br />

parsimonious defence in the<br />

league.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Force clash was often<br />

fractious and one should not<br />

expect anything different against<br />

the Chiefs, who will not back<br />

down from any aggressive<br />

approach. <strong>The</strong> Hurricanes will<br />

need little reminder of the 26-18<br />

reverse in Hamilton back on<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

TOYOTA’S Highlander has<br />

long been regarded as the<br />

quintessential large sport<br />

utility vehicle.<br />

It’s known for its fourwheel-drive<br />

capability,<br />

powerful petrol engine,<br />

seven-seat configuration<br />

and high levels of refinement.<br />

All of those attributes<br />

have been expanded on<br />

with an all-new model<br />

landing here early this year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Highlander has<br />

lost none of its credibility, it<br />

has had an engine upgrade<br />

– power is up 17kW and<br />

13Nm yet it also gets a<br />

1.1l/100km fuel usage saving<br />

– it is now listed from a<br />

9.1 to 9.5l/100km (31mpg)<br />

combined cycled average.<br />

Elsewhere, the<br />

Highlander reeks of<br />

sophistication, it is comfortable<br />

and has a wealth<br />

of specification, especially<br />

in Limited form as tested.<br />

Column space doesn’t<br />

allow for comprehensive<br />

detailing, but I can report<br />

it wants for nothing yet it<br />

could well be described as a<br />

value for money model.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Highlander is<br />

also available in two-wheeldrive<br />

variations, there are<br />

three grades with the range<br />

starting at $63,490 for a<br />

4WD GX variant, a GXL<br />

lists at $66,490 and $70,490<br />

(4WD), while the Limited<br />

4WD sits at $81,490.<br />

That’s top price for a<br />

car in this category, but if<br />

you want the epitome of<br />

sophistication it is the SUV<br />

that sets standards in the<br />

big sector.<br />

As mentioned, there’s a<br />

new engine in Highlander.<br />

It still gets a variation of<br />

the old V6 that has served<br />

Toyota and Lexus well, but<br />

the new engine has an edge<br />

over it with higher levels<br />

of refinement and those<br />

performance increases. It is<br />

now rated at 218kW with<br />

350Nm of torque coming<br />

in at 4700rpm. Such<br />

is its smoothness it’s hard<br />

to fathom with a displacement<br />

of 3456cc all that<br />

reciprocating mass could<br />

be so unflustered.<br />

It is also a flighty engine<br />

when required, it sings<br />

freely through the rev band<br />

and likes to show off its<br />

strength.<br />

Drive is carried through<br />

an eight-speed automatic<br />

transmission, once again<br />

it is a beauty with undetectable<br />

shifts and a ratio<br />

structure that promotes<br />

quick acceleration and<br />

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER: Large family-friendly SUV.<br />

relaxed engine operation at<br />

highway speed. <strong>The</strong> more<br />

ratios that are packed into<br />

a gearbox always provide a<br />

smoother driving experience,<br />

and the Highlander’s<br />

driveline is a beauty, it also<br />

ushers in quick acceleration,<br />

with a likely standstill<br />

to 100km/h time of 8.7sec.<br />

• Price – Toyota<br />

Highlander Ltd,<br />

$81,490<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 4890mm;<br />

width, 1925mm;<br />

height, 1730mm<br />

• Configuration – V6,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

3456cc, 218kW,<br />

350Nm, eight-speed<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.7sec<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

8.7l/100km<br />

Cruising at that speed it<br />

will sip fuel instantaneously<br />

at the rate of just 7l/100km<br />

(40mpg), the engine is<br />

very lethargic turning over<br />

slowly at just 1400rpm. I<br />

spent a lot of time in city<br />

traffic in the test car, so<br />

my overall average didn’t<br />

match Toyota’s, but when I<br />

took the test car back to the<br />

dealership it was still showing<br />

9.6l/100km (29mpg)<br />

which I didn’t think was<br />

excessive.<br />

I took the test car on my<br />

usual loop west taking in a<br />

back road from Sheffield to<br />

Coalgate. It’s a badly rutted<br />

route, and from the outset<br />

the Highlander impressed<br />

with its suspension control<br />

over the corrugations<br />

and ability to put power<br />

to ground. <strong>The</strong> tyres on<br />

the test car were a Toyo<br />

compound (245/55 x 19in)<br />

and they extracted grip<br />

well along with providing<br />

a quiet ride on sealed surfaces.<br />

<strong>The</strong> same could be said<br />

of the entire vehicle, it sits<br />

on the outer periphery of<br />

the luxury car market so<br />

its levels of noise, vibration<br />

and harshness are extremely<br />

low. That makes for a<br />

relaxing highway cruise.<br />

<strong>The</strong> steerage and suspension<br />

combine to prove an<br />

almost sporty sensation<br />

from behind the wheel,<br />

and that takes into account<br />

that at over two-tonne it<br />

is heavy wagon, yet it feels<br />

composed and far from<br />

bulky when a tricky corner<br />

presents itself.<br />

<strong>The</strong> suspension is a<br />

complex fully independent<br />

system, the Highlander isn’t<br />

quite as rugged underneath<br />

as its Fortuner stablemate,<br />

but both are destined for<br />

different markets, the<br />

Highlander is a crosscountry<br />

charger, and is<br />

certainly not a full off-road<br />

vehicle.<br />

That aside, most won’t<br />

venture far from the seal,<br />

and that’s why frontwheel-drive<br />

only models<br />

are available, but for those<br />

who do want to take the<br />

family camping to those<br />

high country lakes the<br />

four-wheel-drive variant is<br />

capable.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Highlander has<br />

space to burn inside, even<br />

with the rear row of seats<br />

upright. Toyota claim<br />

195-litres extending to<br />

1872-litres with all rear<br />

rows folded flat.<br />

Toyota have been served<br />

well by Highlander, it has<br />

been a popular model<br />

here. That doesn’t surprise<br />

me, it imparts an involving<br />

driving sensation, one<br />

of solidity and safety, the<br />

latter of course, five-star<br />

Australasian New Car<br />

Assessment Program rated.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new Highlander<br />

is sourced from Toyota’s<br />

United States manufacturing<br />

operation and reeks<br />

of quality. It is the familyfriendly<br />

wagon which does<br />

everything without fuss<br />

and always pleases with its<br />

all round performance and<br />

reliability.

Fix those minor<br />

defects<br />

<strong>Star</strong>t out front, cleaning, clearing and decluttering<br />

the yard to make a good impression on buyers.<br />

It’s a rare house that doesn’t have<br />

defects. Even newly renovated ones<br />

can have features that detract for<br />

buyers. But there are ways for sellers<br />

to deflect attention from them without<br />

pretending they’re not there. <strong>The</strong> three<br />

main ways of dealing with defects are:<br />

1. Fix them.<br />

2. Draw the eye away from them.<br />

3. Use them as a selling point.<br />

Simple defects can be fixed easily.<br />

<strong>Star</strong>t out front. Overgrown bushes can<br />

be trimmed, or replaced with a few<br />

matching plants, old fences and front<br />

doors can be painted or stained, and<br />

the paths cleaned.<br />

Do this even if a property is a do-up.<br />

You want to give the impression that<br />

buyers can move into the house and<br />

chip away at the work in their own<br />

time.<br />

If you have time and money, paint<br />

sills and eaves using accents.<br />

Inside, the first thing buyers see is<br />

the hallway, which can be brightened<br />

up with a lick of paint. <strong>The</strong> neutral<br />

paint trick can also be used to paint<br />

over dated wallpaper, completely<br />

changing the look and feel of a tired<br />

house.<br />

Bathrooms and kitchens are<br />

important to buyers, and the eye settles<br />

on vanities and benches. <strong>The</strong>se can be<br />

resurfaced relatively quickly to give a<br />

modern look.<br />

If the seller can’t repaint or tile<br />

the bathroom bring in high quality<br />

matching towels, which become a<br />

feature in the room and draw the eye<br />

from the less than desirable walls and<br />

features. Nice vases and flowers will do<br />

the same.<br />

Replacing handles and knobs to<br />

draw attention away from the units<br />

themselves. This reduces the number<br />

of “I have to do this” thoughts in<br />

potential buyers’ minds.<br />

Drawing the eye away from a<br />

multitude of sins is exactly the thing<br />

to do.<br />

If you see an empty house the eye<br />

always goes to marks on the carpet<br />

and walls and this will lower the price<br />

expectation.”<br />

Drawing the eye to the furniture and<br />

furnishings, creates better flow, and de<br />

cluttering makes buyers feel the home<br />

would be a nice place to live in.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other way to handle the<br />

property’s defects is to raise them with<br />

the buyer before they see them.<br />

If the carpet is bad, for example,<br />

you can say: “Hey, they were going to<br />

replace the carpet but they decided to<br />

leave it to you to choose a new carpet<br />

and priced it accordingly.”<br />

Finally, good old fashioned elbow<br />

grease is essential in all properties<br />

to remove those sins that are simply<br />

cleanable.<br />

'IT’S A Kind of Magic' with Giles Taylor<br />

channeling Freddie at the helm 'rocked' the<br />

Horncastle Arena tonight.<br />

An enthusiastic crowd greeted the<br />

international Queen tribute act that is<br />

currently touring the country.<br />

Giles is an exemplary performer.<br />

Exuberant and oozing charisma, he<br />

completely won the audience over within<br />

opening numbers.<br />

Giles has Freddie mannerisms and look<br />

off to a tee. Procient on vocals and piano,<br />

it's no wonder Freddie Mercury's personal<br />

assistant and biographer Peter Freestone has<br />

endorsed this show.<br />

A dynamo of energy taking full command<br />

of the stage and fearlessly invading the<br />

audience to interact up close with fans.<br />

But Queen isn't all about Freddie - it's the<br />

guitar wizardry of Brian May built on the<br />

strong foundation of John Deacon (bass)<br />

and Roger Taylor (drums). It's A Kind of<br />

Magic delivered. e band was tight and<br />

played awlessly. Ritchie Baker as Brian<br />

nailed it.<br />

e total tribute package is impressive.<br />

Great sound, costumes, choreography, lights<br />

and use of multi-media.<br />

OVER the past month Take Me Home :<br />

e Music & Life of John Denver starring<br />

Dunedin’s Bevan Gardiner has played an<br />

astounding 25 shows across 20 centres<br />

throughout New Zealand, concluding at<br />

the Isaac eatre Royal in Christchurch<br />

last night.<br />

It’s 20 years this year since John Denver<br />

died in a tragic air accident, aged 53 - and<br />

judging by last night’s packed audience, his<br />

music has not waned in popularity.<br />

Presented in a nicely constructed tribute<br />

show incorporating live performances of<br />

JD classics with archival lm footage,<br />

Bevan and band presented a beautiful<br />

tribute to the icon.<br />

Adept on guitar with an uncanny vocal<br />

likeness to JD, Bevan gave a faultless<br />

performance that was enhanced by regular<br />

singing partner, Georgie Daniell.<br />

Directed by Vancouver’s Davey Walker<br />

on keyboards, a highly procient band<br />

made up of Sydney based Darryl Walker<br />

(bass) and Glen Bain (lead guitar), along<br />

with Christchurch’s own Allan Cattermole<br />

(drums), provided impeccable backing and<br />

harmonious vocals.<br />

A must-see for any John Denver fan.<br />
