reveals
fire safety
issues
• By Gabrielle Stuart
AN INVESTIGATION has found
potential issues with fire protection
walls and floors in Canterbury
District Health Board hospitals.
As part of its earthquake repair
work, the CDHB has investigated
its passive fire protection walls and
floors, which are designed to keep a
fire from spreading.
CDHB acting chief executive
Mary Gordon said the investigation
found “a number of potential compliance
issues.”
The CDHB wouldn’t say what the
specific issues were or what buildings
were affected.
But CDHB board member Aaron
Keown said the problems were
mostly around holes drilled through
the firewalls or floors to fit new services,
like gas pipes and IT system
wiring.
The cost of the repair was currently
unknown, but was likely to be
“quite massive,” he said.
Fire Service specialist investigator
Mark Thomas said that would be
a particular concern in a hospital,
because in a fire patients would
be moved to another part of the
building, rather than evacuated
outside.
If there was even a small hole in
a firewall, they could be at risk, he
said.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw the formation of the New
Zealand Boxing Assn on July 4, 1902. On the same date
in 1977, hundreds of people were evacuated as serious
flooding affected the city. On July 6, 1887, heavy floods
inundated the city, three young men drowned in the
Avon River as a result of a boating mishap. On July 7,
1908, widespread flooding affected the province. On
the same day in 1986, heavy rain flooded the northern
suburbs. On July 8, 1880, the Canterbury Society of
Arts was formed. On July 9, 1863, civic tree planting
began. Part of the day’s planting was a commemorative
tree, generally regarded as the beginning of the Botanic
Gardens.

Cathedral letter ‘wishy-washy’
• By Bridget Rutherford
WINSTON PETERS has
refused to sign a letter
supporting the restoration
deal for the Christ Church
Cathedral.
Leaders of National, Labour,
Act, Green, Maori and United
Future signed a letter to Bishop
Victoria Matthews on Tuesday
saying the offer represented a
clear and agreed way forward.
“We agree in principle to support
legislation that will enable
the reinstatement of the Christ
Church Cathedral should the
synod vote in its favour, to be
commenced once a new Government
has formed,” it said.
But the New Zealand First
leader said he did not sign because
it was “wishy-washy.”
“We agree in principle. What
does that mean?” said Mr
Peters.
“You’re either going to do it or
you’re not going to do it.”
Mr Peters said he was in
favour of the restoration of the
Cathedral, but the Government
should be offering more money.
“It’s not just a building, it’s
something far more important.”
Mr Peters visited Christchurch
in May calling for
the restoration of the
Cathedral, and slated the
Anglican Church for not
acting sooner.
On Tuesday,
Minister supporting
Greater
Christchurch Regeneration
Nicky
Wagner and
Mayor Lianne
Dalziel tabled
a new restoration
deal for
the Anglican
Church to consider.
The new offer
included a $10 million
pledge from the
city council – subject
to consultation – with
a Government pledge
of $10 million, and
a $15 million loan
that would not need
to be paid back if
restoration was done
within budget, and in
a reasonable time.
The deal also
involved setting
up an independent

Fundraising Trust,
new legislation to
streamline project
consenting and approval
processes, and a
joint venture between
the Church Property
Trustees and the trust
to govern and manage
the restoration
project.
The Great Christchurch
Buildings Trust
would also pledge
$13.7 million.
The offer will be
considered by the
diocese’s synod – a governing
body made up of more than 200
parishioners and priests – before
it votes on the Cathedral’s future
on September 9.
Labour MP and Christchurch
issues spokeswoman Megan
Woods said the letter signalled
if there was a change in
Government in the September
23 election, the offer still stood.
Green MP Eugenie Sage
said it gave certainty to the synod.
“I think the offer is a really
good one. I hope the synod will
look on it favourably.”

Probe reveals hospital fire safety issues
•From page 1
Said Mr Thomas: “You don’t
take a sick person and put them
outside at three in the morning,
so in a fire they initially do
a horizontal evacuation, past
smoke and fire stop doors. So if
they’ve gone past it, to what they
perceive is safety, but the wall
is compromised, it is possible
it (the fire) could come past to
where they are,” he said.
Fire Fighting Pacific Canterbury
service manager Charlie
Loughnan said he believed
working firewalls could have
prevented the fire in London’s
Grenfell Tower last month from
spreading.
“My opinion is that the cladding
burnt the building down,
but didn’t kill anyone. It was the
lack of fire separations inside the
building which was the cause of
the deaths: The fire getting from
the apartment into the lobby,
from the lobby into a stairwell,
then blocking the stairwell.”
He said a lack of firewalls was
also what allowed the 1947 Ballantynes
fire to spread so fast,
killing 41 people.
He said world-leading regulations
around firewalls were
brought in after the tragedy, but
they depended on the firewalls
not being compromised.
Ms Gordon said work was
being done to investigate and
rectify the issues.
She said all hospital buildings
had fire detection and suppression
systems, and the safety of
staff, patients and visitors was
her top priority.
“We don’t have any immediate
concerns,” she said.
She said the work was a “proactive
investigation done on our
own initiative,” not a requirement.
She said the Ministry of
Health was aware of the work,
and was “reviewing the systems”
as part of its planning process.
In Brief
CTV SITE PLAN
Families and friends of those
killed in the CTV building collapse
will be shown a final design
of how the site will be landscaped
next month. An Otakaro spokesman
said the area would be a
“peaceful place” made up of grass,
greenery and seating. The CTV
building, on the corner of Madras
and Cashel Sts, collapsed in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
killing 115 people. A survey of
the site and ground conditions
would be done in the next few
weeks to see what plants are best
suited.
BUSINESS LEADER RESIGNS
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber
of Commerce chief executive
Peter Townsend has resigned
after 21 years in the role. His
final day will be on November
30. Mr Townsend said he would
have stood down earlier, had it
not been for the September 4,
2010, and February 22, 2011,
earthquakes, which were the
most challenging years of his
career. Mr Townsend still serves
on a number of boards, including
Otakaro.
$18K ON RED ZONE SIGNS
More than $18,000 has been
spent on manufacturing and
installing new street signs in the
residential red zone. The city
council, in conjunction with the
Avon Otakaro Network, installed
94 street signs and 26 wayfinding
signs using special brackets so
they can’t be removed without a
special tool. Many of the original
signs were taken by people as
souvenirs.
NEW COURT SECURITY
The new Justice and Emergency
Services Precinct will have
permanent security screening
stations for all visitors to the
courts. Ministry of Justice
health, safety and security
general manager Melissa Gill
said an operational security
working group had been formed
to develop consistent and
appropriate security measures
across the whole facility.

Elderly man
fights with
attacker
• By Andrew King
THE ELDERLY man who was
robbed in broad daylight at a
Bryndwr ATM on Monday tried
to fight off his attacker.
The victim, in his 80s, was
withdrawing a sum of money
from a machine at the intersection
of Wairakei and Greers Rds
at about 11am.
The offender, described as a
Maori or Pacific Islander man
in his 30s to 40s, solid build, of
average height and a short beard,
wearing a beanie, a black puffer
jacket, dark-coloured long pants
and white sneakers, approached
him from behind.
He hovered over his shoulder at
the ATM until the man had the
money in his hand, that’s when
he went for it.
A short struggle ensued and the
offender then fled in a vehicle, believed
to be a white station wagon,
similar to a Subaru Impreza, and
travelled along Wairakei Rd, east,
towards the city.
The victim was not injured,
but understandably shaken up, a
police spokeswoman said.

Lions boost for terror victim
• By Timothy Brown
A FRIEND of the Christchurch
man stabbed in the London
terror attack has gone to
extraordinary lengths to bring
him some comfort.
Oliver Dowling and his French
girlfriend, Marie Bondeville,
were among victims of the Borough
Market terrorist attack in
London on June 3, in which eight
people were killed and 48 others
injured.
Mr Dowling met William
McKee while at high school in
Christchurch.
Mr McKee, of Dunedin, said
he was shocked to hear of Mr
Dowling’s injuries – which
included multiple stab wounds –
and hatched a plan to show him
how much he meant to those on
the other side of the world.
Knowing Mr Dowling supported
the Scottish rugby team
and that three Scottish players
would be visiting Dunedin on
June 11 with the British and Irish
Lions, he took his video camera
to Dunedin Airport to see if
they would send a message to his
injured friend.
Scottish captain Greig Laidlaw
was among the first to step off

stabbed during the Borough Market terror attack in London.
the plane and was more than
willing to help.
He was also able to rope injured
fullback Stuart Hogg into
sending Mr Dowling a message
of support.
The Otago rugby team also got
in on the act, as did Dunedin
Mayor Dave Cull and Prime
Minister Bill English.
Mr Dowling attended the
University of Otago in 2003,
prompting Mr Cull to describe
him as an “asset” to the city in
the mayor’s message of support.
“The whole thing has come
about because you feel a bit
useless over here and you want
him to know he’s supported,” Mr
McKee said.
“When you are so far away
from these tragic events you
want to do something . . . these
sort of things affect everyone and
shock us equally.
“You want to try and offer your
support. I thought he’s going to
have a long road to recovery, as
is his girlfriend, so why not try
and put a smile on his face and
let him know that everyone is
thinking of him way over here?”
Mr Dowling and Miss Bondeville
were out in London having
dinner at the time the attacks
unfolded, Mr McKee said.
“What a horrific experience to
go through.”
Both required surgery for their
wounds and were slowly recovering
physically. The video had
come as a huge morale boost to
Mr Dowling.
“He’s got personally in contact
a couple of times and said ‘thank
you very much’. His sister saw it .
. . she was thrilled. He messaged
and said ‘thanks very much’. He
was chuffed, but probably a little
embarrassed,” Mr McKee said.
Those involved in the video
were more than willing to help,
which was heartening, he said.

Lancaster Park.
The city council put the call
out last month to see if there
were any groups that wanted to
register their interest for items
salvaged from the earthquakedamaged
stadium.
Project director Lee Butcher
said there had been interest from
across the country – from Ashburton
to Waiheke Island.
He said there were requests for
20,000 seats.
“In addition, there’s been requests
for coolers, tables, toilets,
doors, signage and other sporting
memorabilia.”
Mr Butcher said the interest
had come from a wide range
of clubs and individuals, from
scout and motor speedway clubs,
to farmers in South Canterbury.
“We are currently reviewing
all the submissions, and will
continue to keep people informed
of progress and the next
steps.”

Family
organises
thank you
for helping
little Jonty
• By Gabrielle Stuart
JONTY WAS just 10-weeks-old
when his parents had to watch
him being prepared for surgery
for the first time.
That was five years ago, and
Sam and Maree Smolenski have
since become very familiar with
the hospital.
For the first 96 days of his
life, Jonty was kept in neonatal
intensive care. He had problems
seeing, hearing and eating, and
seemed to be hit far harder by
colds and flus than other children.
Yet the doctors could not
understand what was causing
Jonty’s problems – and it was
three years before they had an
answer, Mrs Smolenski said.
That came almost by chance,
she said.
Jonty has trichothiodystrophy
– a recessive genetic disorder so
rare he is the only person in New
Zealand currently diagnosed
with it.
But a geneticist at Christchurch
Hospital had seen cases
before, and recognised the symptoms,
including Jonty’s distinctive
brittle hair, she said.
“He has never ever had a hair
cut. There is a guy on Home
Alone who gets his hair singed,
and he’s left with just knobbles
around his head. When Jonty

he looked like that. His first lot
of hair just rubbed right off and
knobbled up around his head,”
she said.
Although they finally knew
the cause of their son’s problems,
it came with bad news – it was
untreatable, and many children
with the condition died young,
she said.
“It was quite a shock. We don’t
know how long we’ll have with
Jonty. Every winter there’s a risk
he might get an illness he doesn’t
recover from,” she said.
Spending so much time in hospital
away from their two other
children, Lachie, 7, and Ruby, 3,
made it harder, she said.
But that was when the community
rallied.
Mr Smolenski is a harness
racing trainer and driver, and
comes from a racing family –
his grandfather was driving
and training legend Jack
Smolenski.
The racing community rallied
last year to raise more than
$75,000 for the family, with even
world driving champion Dexter
Dunn wearing special racing
colours in Jonty’s honour as a
fundraiser.
That meant the whole family
could go to international conferences
in the United States last
year and again this year to meet
with specialists and with other
people who have the condition,
Mrs Smolenski said.

also the wider community and

Motive for alleged attack
on policeman a mystery
• By Andrew King
DETECTIVES are investigating
whether an alleged attack on a
police officer at his home was
a case of mistaken identity or
something more sinister.
Two men and a woman were
arrested on Monday night and
appeared in the district court
on Tuesday after the incident in
Charteris Bay.
It’s alleged Ngarie Maree
Sadlier, 38, approached the
property impersonating a police
officer at 10.28pm while Norton
Lindsay Adams, 26, and Matthew
Winara Webber, 28, waited
outside.
When the officer came outside
to see what was going on he
placed Sadlier under arrest for
trespassing.
A scuffle then ensued, with
Adams and Sadlier allegedly
attacking him. They escaped in
a vehicle driven by Adams, but
were arrested a short time later.
A shotgun was found concealed

boot – ammunition had allegedly
been thrown from the vehicle
during the chase.
Police have alleged all three
have gang affiliations. Police have
not ruled out the attack could be
targeted and have launched an
investigation, Canterbury Metro
Commander Superintendent
Lane Todd said.
He confirmed to The Star they
are exploring the gang angle and
if it was mistaken identity or a
targeted attack.
District Commander Superintendent
John Price said he
hoped it was random rather than
targeted.
“I have spoken to the officer
involved and he is obviously
shaken up,” he said.
Adams was remanded in
custody charged with failure to
stop, reckless driving, aggravated
assault and unlawful possession
of a firearm.
Sadlier, whose occupation is
listed as a scientist, was released
on bail charged with aggravated
assault, trespass, escapes custody,
impersonating police, and unlawful
possession of a firearm.
Webber, a construction
worker, was charged with wilful
damage and unlawful possession
of a firearm.
All three will reappear on July
25 in the district court.

Fundraiser pays for vet bills
• By Gabrielle Stuart
AFTER BEING attacked by a
knife-wielding man in her home
two years ago, Pip Clark felt she
had seen the worst of humanity.
But last week, she said she saw
the best.
People have donated more
than $6500 to help pay her vet
bills for her five-year-old standard
poodle, Charlie, who needed
an expensive operation on his
intestines.
Ms Clark credited Charlie for
saving her life when she was attacked
by the intruder two years
ago.
She was getting ready for work
in November, 2015, when she
came across the intruder. He
started punching her, then went
at her with a knife, slicing her
forearm, she said.
That was when Charlie arrived
and ran at the attacker, scaring
him off. Police were called, but
the man has not been found.
Ms Clark said Charlie was
her hero, not only during the
attack but in the months afterward
when she felt unsafe at
home.
Last month, Charlie became
very sick. The vet found his
intestines were blocked, and he

would need an operation.
She said it came at a terrible
time as she was only working
part-time herself because of her
own medical problems, so she
was struggling financially.
But after an article in The Star
last week, she said donations
had poured in – just one day
after it ran she said she had
more than enough to pay for the
operation, and she asked Givealittle
to close the page.
“Some people donated $500,
which shocked me, and others
said I don’t have much but here’s
$10. I know that’s a huge deal
when you don’t have much,” she
said.
She said all the care and
well-wishes from strangers had
meant a lot.
“I was so stressed and so overwhelmed
by it all, and this, all
the donations and the messages,
has meant such a lot,” she said.
“In my life I’ve seen mostly
the worst of humanity, unfortunately,
so this has restored my
faith, I suppose.”
She said Charlie had to go
back to the vet several times
after the operation because of
complications, but he was now
recovering.
“I thought he was going to
die three times, and after going
through that I’m so exhausted
but I’m so thankful. I don’t
know what I would have done
without him,” she said.
Dirty tunnel
cops criticism
• By Caitlin Miles
THE CLEANLINESS of the
Lyttelton Tunnel is in the spotlight.
Lyttelton Community Association
chairman Ken Maynard said
the state of the tunnel has “been a
problem for a while.”
“There are black streaks down
the walls. It needs a general spring
clean,” Mr Maynard said.
New Zealand Transport Agency
is in charge of the tunnel’s maintenance
– it receives about one
complaint every month.
NZTA maintenance contract
manager Barry Stratton said since
the February 22, 2011, earthquake
things had got worse.
“There are a number of reasons
why the tunnel is currently, and
since the earthquakes, a much
dirtier environment than it used
to be,” Mr Stratton said.
After the tunnel was reopened
following the earthquake, up to
eight tonnes of dirt and dust was
cleared every month.
As a result, last year NZTA
made the Covered Loads bylaw
to stop loose material flying off
trucks and settling in the tunnel.
Since then the most recent dust
count has more than halved.
The tunnel walls are washed
every three weeks, but Mr Maynard
said it needs to be done more often.

Chch cop spreads
Sideline abuse is
a problem in New
Zealand, but in the
Solomon Islands it
can escalate into
attempted murder
– as a Christchurch
policeman found
out first-hand.
Nicholas Jones
reports
DETECTIVE Sergeant
Darren Folau has been in
the Solomons for various
stretches since 2002.
He saw first-hand
the lawlessness and
violence that took the
country to the brink and
saw an Australian-led
peacekeeping effort that
finished last week after 14
years.
Detective Sergeant
Folau’s closest scrape came
not when on patrol, but
at a weekend rugby game.
Like other Kiwi police
officers working in the
country, he’s helped build
up the sport, particularly

by mentoring referees.
That’s what he was doing
at a game between two
village-based teams during
the height of the often
deadly conflict between
ethnic groups, known as
“the tensions”.
“Somebody knocked
the ref out for awarding
a dodgy try, the ref was a
wantok [kin member] of
the other team, so they
started chasing this player
around the field. It was like
the Benny Hill Show, really
– people chasing each
other with bush knives and
machetes.”
Detective Sergeant
Folau went to the referee’s
aid when he heard a
pop.
“And I looked up and
there was bloke from less
than 5m shooting at us
with a .45 pistol. I heard
the pops go past my ears.
It was a former policeman
who was a militant.
“He wasn’t a good shot,
that’s for sure, otherwise I
wouldn’t be here telling the
story. That’s the volatility –
it can just escalate within
seconds.”

Said Detective Sergeant Folau:
“He wasn’t a good shot, that’s
for sure, otherwise I wouldn’t be
here telling the story. That’s the
volatility – it can just escalate
within seconds.”
The Regional Assistance Mission
to Solomon Islands cost
New Zealand $150 million, with
more than 1000 Defence Force
personnel and 800 police serving
over the 14 years.
Australia led Ramsi at a cost of
almost $3 billion, answering the
plea for help from the Solomons
Government in 2003.
Detective Sergeant Folau’s
work included a leading role in
the operation against warlord
Harold Keke, who was jailed
for life for murdering a Cabinet
minister in the first of the socalled
tension trials.
He said the change over Ramsi’s
14 years had been dramatic.
“When we first got here it was
complete lawlessness, it was
ruled by gun. The police were
corrupt and they were ruling
by gun. The infrastructure had
fallen over, the government had
collapsed with finances, the hospital
was almost non-existent.
“Now infrastructure is really

•The Solomon Islands was on the brink of collapse during
civil and ethnic conflict between 1998 and 2003 that saw
more than 100 people killed and around 40,000 driven
from their homes.
•After the Solomons Government asked for help, the Ramsi

have not been surrendered in

over land remain.
During her three-day visit
recently, Deputy Prime Minister
Paula Bennett signed an agreement
that will keep eight New
Zealand Police advisers in the
country.
Folau will return to policing
in Christchurch at the end
of the year after helping with
the changeover. He wanted to
acknowledge the six Ramsi personnel
who lost their lives, and
the countless Solomon Island
victims of the ethnic violence.
An unusual number of Crusaders

Cup to honour football great
FOOTBALL great Steve Sumner
will be remembered at the
Christchurch Casino Golden
Oldies Sports Celebration 2018,
with teams to play for a trophy
in his name.
The inaugural Steve Sumner
Cup will be unveiled at the
week-long Golden Oldies World
Football Festival, as part of
the overall event that will run
throughout April.
Golden Oldies Football manager
for the event and former All
Whites captain, Earle Thomas,
said it was a privilege to be the
first event to honour Sumner’s
contribution to football.
“We are extremely grateful
to Steve’s family for allowing
us to name the cup for the first
division competition at Golden
Oldies World Football Festival
in his honour.”
Sumner captained the All
Whites to their first ever world
cup finals appearance in Spain
in 1982, and was synonymous
with Christchurch United in the
1970s and 80s.
He died in February after a
long battle with prostate cancer.
“The Sumner family want to
keep Steve’s legacy alive and are
happy for the Golden Oldies
event to name the cup in his

teams.
There are expected to be more
than 60 football teams taking
part in a number of categories

and age groups from across the
country and overseas.
Mr Thomas said the cup
would be contested at the
biennial Golden Oldies World
Football Festival and at a local
tournament in Christchurch in
alternate years.
The Golden Oldies World
Football Festival will be played
from April 15-22 at Hagley Park.
It is one of 10 sports – rugby,
hockey, netball, basketball,
cricket, squash, golf, lawns bowls
and football – which make up
the month long event expected
to attract 10,000 people.

NEARLY 1000 volunteers
are needed to help run the
Christchurch Casino Golden
Oldies Sports Celebration 2018.
The event, which is expected
to bring about 10,000 people to
the city, would combine 10 sports
over April.

Toby’s trunk load of memories
• By Gabrielle Stuart
Firefighter’s
helmet found
EXCAVATORS demolishing a
Canterbury District Health Board
building have made a strange
discovery – an 80-year-old
firefighter’s helmet.
The helmet was discovered
encased in mud below the former
sexual health clinic on St Asaph
St, which is earmarked to be the
site of the new energy centre.
It was spotted by excavators
who were digging out the fill at
the bottom of the lift shaft.
The helmet is made from layers
of cork, covered with cotton canvas
and painted.
Fire helmet expert Andy Turnham
told the CDHB the find was
an old Cromwell 2240 Telbon fire
helmet made by Helmets Ltd of
Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire,
United Kingdom.
He said the lining dates it between
1934 and 1948 and it could
have been an officer’s helmet, but
was not valuable, he said.
THANKS TO the generosity
of the community, 10-year-old
Toby Matthews has had his
dream trip to Africa – and he
may get a ride in a firetruck and
a chance to see a tiger, too.
Toby is deaf and learned last
year he is also going blind,
because of an incurable genetic
condition.
After Toby’s story was published
in The Star, more than
$16,000 was donated online to
help his family give him experiences
before he loses his vision.
It meant he was able to travel
to Africa last month with his
father, builder Logan Matthews,
where they helped to build a
school in Zimbabwe.
Mr Matthews said Toby had
loved the animals most of all.
“We saw an elephant riding
expert on the side of the road,
and I knew that was us. So he
rode an elephant for an hour,
and then he got to interact and
play with it. I think that was his
highlight,” he said.
He said the goal of the trip
was both to give Toby visual
experiences he could remember,
and to help other people.
As well as building classrooms
at the school, he said they built
shelves for the children’s books,
which had previously had to sit
on the ground, and brought a lot
of school supplies with them.
Because Toby’s condition,
Usher syndrome, is so rare, he
said the family did not know how
long Toby’s vision might last.
He was born deaf, but his vision
was slowly tunnelling, with
the area he could see growing
progressively smaller, and there
was no known way to reverse it.
He said the family planned to
head to Auckland next month
for thorough testing to see how
it was progressing.
Mr Matthews said Toby had

been struggling to come to
terms with things he could not
do, and the trip to Africa had
meant a lot to him.
“He was getting quite angry
and frustrated before he left, but
since he has come home he’s had
quite a different temperament. It
was a real morale boost,” he said.
And Toby has had more
dreams made possible since he
returned.
He said he wanted to see a tiger
on the trip, but that was very
unlikely as tigers are native to
Asia. But since he has returned,
the family has been donated a
12-month pass to Orana Wildlife
Park – meaning Toby will be
able to see tigers.
He said the family had also
been given a trip on the
TranzAlpine train, and firefighters
had offered Toby tours of
their fire stations.
Toby wanted to be a firefighter,
but his failing vision means
that is likely to be impossible.
Mr Matthews said the help
from the community had been
incredible.
“When I showed Toby how
many people had given, he was
blown away by how many
people cared about him,” he
said.

China Gives New Shine
to BRICS of Gold
On June 19, 2017, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the
five BRICS countries met in Beijing. And with just
100 days until the Ninth BRICS Summit in China in
September, the world is keen to know if the summit
can put a new shine on emerging markets amid a
sluggish global economic recovery and setbacks in
globalization.
Under the theme “BRICS: Stronger Partnership for
a Brighter Future”, the summit will gather leaders
from countries representing 40 percent of the world
population and 25 percent of global GDP.
Formation of “BRICS”
Coined by former Goldman Sachs economist Jim
O’Neill in 2001, the term “BRIC” refers to Brazil,
Russia, India and China, four emerging markets
with fast growth and great potential. In 2006, foreign
ministers from those countries met in New York,
formally starting the BRIC grouping. South Africa
joined the group in 2010, the acronym changing to
BRICS.
It is fair to say that China has always pinned high
hopes on BRICS for emerging markets with which
it finds natural common ground. While the English
acronym is catchy, the Chinese translation -- four
characters that bear the literal meaning “gold bricks
countries” -- conveys confidence in the future.
That sense of confidence is backed by concrete
growth. And it has truly been a “golden decade.”
And the inclusion of South Africa gave the group
more political weight when speaking up for the
emerging world on the international stage. With its
five major members hailing from different continents,
BRICS has a very significant voice for inclusive and
multi-polar development.
Joint Efforts to Tackle Challenges
The past decade was not without challenges for
the five nations. Economic slowdown, rising trade
protectionism and a volatile international security
situation were common problems facing the
whole world, but the BRICS countries have shown
remarkable resilience with its abundant resources,
vast markets, huge growth potential and enhanced
cooperation.
Economic cooperation has been a major theme of
BRICS development. To help finance infrastructure
and sustainable development projects in BRICS and
other emerging economies and developing countries,
China co-founded the BRICS New Development
Bank (NDB) in 2014 with its headquarters in
Shanghai.
Fully operational in 2016, the bank approved loans
involving financial assistance of over 1.5 billion U.S.
dollars for projects in green and renewable energy,
and transport that year. The newly established
institutions will increasingly serve as a bridge
between developing and developed countries,
becoming instrumental in pushing global economic
growth, and more importantly furthering South-
South cooperation at various levels. As an important
manifestation of multiplicity and multilateralism in
the age of global interdependence, the BRICS and
its New Development Bank represent the aspirations
of the largest developing economies to have their
due seats at the table of international systems of
governance.
All parties agreed that the BRICS countries should
push forward the unity and cooperation between
emerging market economies, safeguard and
enhance the overall interests and welfares of the
vast developing countries, continuously commit to
maintaining international fairness and justice and
promoting world peace and stability, maintain the
UN’s core role in international affairs, advance the
political settlement of hotspot issues, jointly cope
with global challenges, and make efforts to establish a
new type of international relations featuring win-win
cooperation.
While meeting with the five Foreign Ministers,
Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that BRICS
members have grasped the development as mainline,
which not only benefits the people in the five countries
but also offers a recipe for the world to address food
and security problems. All heads of delegations
expressed gratitude to China for the great efforts in
promoting BRICS cooperation as the BRICS rotating
presidency.
Expansion for Broader Cooperation
Building on the success of the past ten years, the
BRICS now eyes starting a new decade with a more
expansive partnership to seek inclusive growth.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China
would explore a BRICS expansion, known as “BRICS
Plus”, and build a wider partnership with other major
developing countries and organizations, so as to turn
BRICS into the most-influential platform for South-
South cooperation in the world.
Meanwhile, China does not only aim for development
within BRICS, but for all nations, with its Belt and
Road Initiative. The initiative seeks to link the
developing countries with the developed ones, the
East and the West, so it can become one of the key
chains in terms of megaprojects linking the North,
South, West and East. In line with progress on the
Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS countries have much
potential for cooperation in infrastructure, trade and
investment, and financial markets.
Economic growth marks one of the key merits of
the group. Originating at the height of the global
financial crisis, the group has managed to exceed
even the bullish expectations of O’Neill. Together, the
five countries have contributed to more than half of
global growth in the past ten years, and their share
in global GDP increased from about 12 percent to
23 percent. According to the International Monetary
Fund, the BRICS and other developing countries were
responsible for 80 percent of global growth in 2016.
Consolidated Consensus among BRICS Members
During the Foreign Ministers meeting on June 19, they
reviewed the outcomes and experience gained from
the cooperation in the past decade, and conducted
in-depth discussion on the further development of
BRICS cooperation, current international situation
and hotspot issues.
This advertorial page is supported by The Chinese Consulate
So far, the Belt and Road Initiative has received a
warm welcome from BRICS countries. With such
inclusive platforms as the Belt and Road and NDB,
China will no doubt help add glitter to the BRICS
of gold. With growing global uncertainties, the next
decade might not be a smooth journey but the BRICS
countries will sail through and even enlighten the rest
of the world as long as they can stick to a strong and
expansive partnership.

Making medication process safer
Vests a way to avoid interruptions
and prevent mistakes at hospital
• By Gabrielle Stuart
FOR MOST people, distractions
and interruptions while they’re
working are inevitable – but for
nurses handling medications, being
distracted at the wrong time could
prove deadly for their patients.
Canterbury District Health
Board staff are holding a series of
workshops and studies looking at
hospital medication processes, and
things that cause problems or lead
to mistakes.
They plan to use what they learn
in the rebuild and redesign of
hospital buildings in Christchurch,
in an effort to make them safer and
run more effectively.
CDHB projects nurse coordinator
Yvonne Williams said
distractions and interruptions were
one of the biggest problems nurses
had pointed out in the workshops
last month.
An Australian study found
nurses preparing or administering
medication were about 12 per cent
more likely to make a mistake
if they were interrupted during
the process – and after multiple
interruptions, the risk of making a
major error doubled.
“Our nurses doing medications
get interrupted a lot, and we know
every interruption can lead to an
error,” Ms Willams said.
“So we’re looking at ways we can
work with staff to make things better
for them and safer, and reduce
the number of errors that occur,”
she said.
She said some of the suggestions
being looked at were simple, like
“do not disturb” vests that nurses
could wear while working with
medicines, or making sure all
equipment needed was stored in
the same place.
Others involved the design of the
new wards, around where medication
rooms were placed and how
they were laid out.
The new electronic systems
being rolled out throughout the
hospital could help in some ways
– like sending alarms and alerts
when things were missed – but it
threw up its own challenges, she
said.
Ms Williams said workshops
were held last month with about 30
staff from the child health department,
and staff from other areas
would be involved progressively
over the next several months.

Dead birds
a mystery
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
MYSTERY surrounds
hundreds of birds found dead
in a Leeston cemetery.
But authorities will not be
investigating what caused the
birds to die.
Resident Myles White was out
walking his dog when he found
rings of dead european greenfinches
around the trees at the
Ellesmere Public Cemetery.
“They were in the process of
dying, squeaking and stuff. It
was bloody gross,” he said.
Environment Canterbury, the
district council, the Department
of Conservation, Forest
and Bird and Green Party MP
Eugenie Sage were contacted by
Mr White.
But because the birds are
an unprotected species, the
incident has been deemed a
forgotten case.
The district council referred
the matter to DOC.
A DOC spokeswoman said
it was not appropriate for it to
investigate because it did not
involve public conservation
land or protected species.
Mr White suspected the birds
had died from poison to protect
crops in the area.

Helping the vulnerable get on the
The Star has launched a
series on the work police
in Canterbury are doing
on crime prevention. It
will run weekly covering
a wide range of topics as
police head off trouble
before it starts. Bridget
Rutherford reports on
road policing
SENIOR Constables Aniwa
MacKenzie and Robyn
Pewhairangi know all too well
the effects of a crash.
Both have been involved in
serious crashes while off duty
– one caused by a drink driver,
and the other by a woman who
should not have been driving
unsupervised.
That’s why making the region’s
roads safer is so important to
them.
They, along with Senior Constable
Stephanie De Vere, run
programmes to help get people
the appropriate licences, under
the guidance of Senior Sergeant
Kelly Larsen.
On September 8, 2007, Senior
Constable MacKenzie was driving
home from the movies with
her husband Dayle.
ROAD WARRIORS: Senior Constables Stephanie De Vere (left), Robyn Pewhairangi and Aniwa
MacKenzie run programmes to help vulnerable people get their driver licence.
They were heading home to
watch the Rugby World Cup
match between the All Blacks
and Italy, when a young drunk
driver ran a stop sign and
ploughed into the passenger side
of the vehicle, where she was
sitting.
Coincidentally, it was outside

sister’s home. She regained consciousness
to her sister’s voice,
who had heard the commotion
and ran outside.
She said the young man tried
to walk away. He was later disqualified
from driving, put on
home detention and had to pay
reparation costs.
She realised that kind of thing
happened on a daily basis.
“The consequences after that,
which I’ve been a victim of, can
be catastrophic depending on the
severity of the accident.”
A decade later, she is the police
project lead for the Limited Service
Volunteers programme at
Burnham Military Camp, which
helps vulnerable and unemployed
youths get their learner
licence.
The free six-week programme,
run by the New Zealand Defence
Force on behalf of Work and
Income, aims to boost their confidence
and help people improve
their job prospects.
“A lot of these kids have slipped
through the cracks,” she said.
“They’re there because life
has been a bit tough for them.
We’re just trying to make it a bit
easier.”
One participant who finished
the last course said having a
licence would boost his job prospects.
He said he had been trying
to get it for three years, but could
not afford to do it.

straight and narrow with a licence
Senior Constable MacKenzie
said a lot of them say they would
rather get pulled over without a
licence, than sit the test and risk
failing.
“They get caught, then they get
disqualified, and they caught,
and they get disqualified again
and it just snowballs,” Senior
Constable Pewhairangi said.
She has only just passed her
physical competency test allowing
her to go back to front line
work after having her spine fused
last year.
Part of the cause was a
motorcycle crash she had while
riding to work along Manchester
St in 2011. A woman driving in
the opposite direction didn’t see
her and turned in front of her
into Gloucester St, causing the
crash.
The driver was on her restricted
licence, with the proviso she was
supervised while driving.
She wasn’t.
Senior Constable Pewhairangi
said police were thinking differently
– they were providing the
ambulance at the top of the cliff,
rather than at the bottom.
“She could have killed herself.
It could have had worse consequences.
If we can stop that

happening I think that’s what we
need to focus on.”
She is about to start a five-week
programme to help people gain
their learner licence.
Next week, the first of three
courses will start, which sees
mentors help participants learn
the road rules, and prepare them
for their test.
It is similar to the Community
Driver Mentor Programme, a
collaboration between New Zealand
Transport Agency, AA, Salvation
Army and police, helping
people aged 16-24 progress from
their learner licence through to
their restricted.
Senior Constable Pewhairangi
said helping people gain their

licence meant they could get
employment, stopping them from
going on the benefit.
That could have spin-offs in
other areas, such as domestic
violence, she said.
Youth drivers were a particular
focus for police.
Police data shows between
2012-2016, of the young drivers
who caused accidents in Canterbury,
81 did not have a licence.
Speed and alcohol were both
“over represented” as contributing
factors.
A lot of those happened between
midnight and 3am.
There were 255 crashes caused
by drivers on their learners –
speed and alcohol often a factor
– and 491 on their restricted.
Thirty-seven crashes were
caused by disqualified drivers.
In more than half, alcohol was a
contributing factor.
Another programme Senior
Constable Pewhairangi runs is
the driving while forbidden compliance
scheme.
If someone without a licence –
say theirs has expired – is pulled
over, police give them 28 days to
become compliant. Of those, 42
per cent actually do.
Nearly 1000 forbidden drivers are
caught in Canterbury each year.
Both Senior Constable Mac-
Kenzie and Senior Constable
Pewhairangi said they joined the
police because they wanted to
help people.
And in spite of what many
people thought, they didn’t enjoy
giving out tickets.
“I stopped one last week, no
registration, no warrant, learner
driver, carrying unauthorised
passengers, the car seat in the
back I didn’t even want to look
at with the wee baby, no L plates,
no driver’s licence. There’s seven.
Where do you start? Where do
you stop?” Senior Constable Mac-
Kenzie said.
She issued the woman with two
tickets and walked away “feeling
rubbish.”
But she knew it had to be done.

Housing plan upsets iwi
• By Julia Evans
A HOUSING development
proposal set for the rim of the
Cranford basin does not provide
for the cultural well-being of iwi,
says Ngai Tahu.
The iwi’s Ngai Tūāhuriri is
unhappy with stormwater from
the development being diverted
into Horseshoe Lake, which is
4km away.
The significance of the site
comes from pre-European times
when Waikākāriki/Horseshoe
Lake was the site of a significant
Maori settlement called Te
Oranga.
The development is a city
council plan to regenerate about
50ha of former farmland in
Papanui between Winters and
McFaddens Rds.
Up to 420 homes would
be built on the rim of the
development, with the rest of the
basin used for wetlands, cycle
and walkways.
In a bid to stop the likelihood
of flooding in the area, the
plan includes significant flood
prevention methods.
In its submission to the city
council, Ngai Tūāhuriri said the
plan does not provide for the
cultural well-being of the iwi and

But there are currently no
other practical options for
the disposal of the water,
city council staff said.
“However, there have been
preliminary investigations into
whether an alternative outfall
can be found as part of the
regeneration plan for the Avon
River Corridor,” staff said.
City council head of planning
and strategic transport Richard
Osborne said the city council
understands the cultural
significance of Horseshoe Lake
to Ngai Tūāhuriri.
“It is committed to working
closely with the runanga to
try and find an acceptable
alternative solution. Decisions
on potential solutions need to be
considered as part of wider
work streams,” Mr Osborne
said.
Ngai Tūāhuriri could not be
contacted by The Star.
The city council opened the
regeneration plan for public
feedback in May. More than 120
responses were submitted, with
64 in general support, 45 against
and 11 neutral.
The draft plan will be put
back to the city council so it
can decide whether to submit to
Regenerate Christchurch.
From there, Regenerate
Christchurch will make a

Regeneration Nicky Wagner to
sign off the plan.
Relief in sight for
controversial
intersection
• By Caitlin Miles
TRAFFIC LIGHTS at the
controversial St Andrews Hill
intersection, in Ferrymead, will
be reprogrammed to try and
ease confusion for motorists.
The left arrow light at the
Main Rd traffic lights will be
reprogrammed to allow for vehicles
wanting to turn right off
St Andrews Hill Rd onto Bridle
Path Rd a better chance to get
across a lane.
Heathcote Ward city councillor
Sara Templeton said: “This
will allow St Andrews Hill to
clear without worrying about
unseen traffic coming around
the corner.”
Lights on Main and Bridle
Path Rds will communicate and
allow traffic to flow better.
Residents in the area have
complained about the layout
and design of the intersection
suggesting that it would not
work even before it was built.
Three options were presented
for public consultation last year –

640 submissions were received.
Option one proposed to leave
the intersection as is, option two
would see new traffic signals on
St Andrews Hill Rd and new
pre-signals on Bridle Path Rd
and option three is to ban right
turns from Bridle Path Rd onto
Main Rd.
None of these options
were given the green light by
Linwood-Central-Heathcote

PAST AND future brides,
family and friends can celebrate
their wedding day memories or
get ideas for their impending
big day in an elegantlypresented
Addington Events
Centre next weekend.
The Canterbury Bride of The
Year gives brides, bridesmaids
and flower girls the opportunity
to wear their gowns again, win
gorgeous prizes and support a
national charity helping to fight
bowel and liver disease.
Newly-engaged couples and
audience members will have
a sneak peek at 2018 wedding
fashion for brides, bridesmaids,
flower girls and mother of the
bride and groom, along with the
latest trends for men.
The highlight of the evening
will be the crowning of the
bride, bridesmaid, and flower
girl of the year.
Entertained by pianist and
singer Mandy Pickering, guests
will receive a goody bag, and
the opportunity to win fantastic
spot prizes and giveaways.
And it’s all in support of a
worthy cause, as the event will
raise funds for the New Zealand
Bowel and Liver Trust, working
to beat gut ailments which can
cause diseases like Crohn’s disease,
bowel disorder and cancer.
New Zealand has one of the
highest rates of bowel cancer in
the world and it is the second
highest cause of death affecting
New Zealanders.
The Canterbury Bride of The
Year show will be held at the
Addington Event Centre on
Saturday, July 15.
Vehicle for free
things to do in city
A REPURPOSED parking
meter in the middle of Cathedral
Square has started issuing tickets
of a very different kind.
Said Gap Filler Co-Founder
Coralie Winn: “The Open City
parking meter delivers you
your own Christchurch secret
to explore. It might be a good
climbing tree in the Botanic
Gardens, an interesting courtyard
within a new building, or a great
place to feed the ducks.”
“THese little secrets and more
have been suggested by locals as
well as visitors. Each adventure
helps you get to know your city
better through someone else’s
eyes.”
She said Open City is all about
celebrating the undervalued,
sweet, free things to do in
Christchurch.
Open City is a collaboration
between Gap Filler and the All
Right? campaign.
Sue Turner, All Right? manager,
said Open City will help Cantabrians
reconnect with their city.
Ms Turner said each activity
aligns with one of the Five
Ways to Wellbeing – connect,
take notice, give, be active and
keep learning. These actions are

A key part of the Open City
project is encouraging Christchurch
people to contribute their
own ideas of sweet, free things
they love about Christchurch.
“The Open City website allows
anyone to upload their favourite
sweet, free things to do. If it’s an
activity within the four avenues
it could be issued by the parking
meter,” says Ms Turner.
“We really want to encourage
people to add their Christchurch
secret gems to the website. The
key thing is they must be free.”
Ms Turner is expecting the
Open City parking meter to be
very popular with families during
the school holidays.
“It’s a great, free family activity
for the holidays. There are already
50 great secrets to explore, none
of them cost a cent, and they all
help you get your family outside
and out of the house.”
Ms Winn said Gap Filler
projects are no longer just about
vacant sites and empty buildings.
“They’re about bringing new
ideas and creative projects to life
in the city to keep it fun, interesting
and accessible.”

Steve Muir
SMOOTH: ICEcycles co-founder
Steve Muir shows off one of
his many inventions: His latest
cycle-powered blender.
Inventor’s pursuit
ICEcycles volunteers have given away more than 1100 bikes and repaired hundreds
more. Steve Muir, one of its founders, spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about his bicycle
inventions, the cycling church and the car park v cycleway debate
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
So tell me how ICEcycles
works?
We started in 2009 and the
aim is to help people to access
bikes. Often they’ll need a
repair but have been to a bike
shop and couldn’t afford the
price quoted to fix it, but we’ll
do it for free or for a donation,
whatever they can afford. We
hold about five workshops a
year helping to fix people’s
bikes, and a couple of meetings
a month, where we restore
donated bikes to give away. We
have a good group of about 60
or 70 volunteers, and a really
good sense of community. It’s
really fun to be involved with,
because people are so appreciative.
After eight years, are you
starting to run out of people
needing bikes?
No – it’s the opposite.
Demand has gone up exponentially,
so we’ve had to restrict
the area we work in to just the
east of the city, otherwise we
would have had an 18-month
waiting list for bikes – we try
to keep it to a month at the
most.
Who do the bikes go to?
All sorts. We do a lot of kids
bikes, lots of them donated
through the community trusts
and schools around Phillipstown
and Aranui. But we
have the most demand for
large men’s bikes, because lots
of men want bikes but not a lot
are donated. At the workshops,
it’s a real variety, too. We get a
lot of people on low incomes,
but we also get people on high
wages who just don’t know
how to fix their bikes or don’t
have the tools for it.
You must have bikes of all
shapes and sizes donated – is
it difficult to find the right
person for a bike?
Not usually, but we do get
the odd one. One which was
quite weird was a unicycle with
a sort of skateboard outrigger.
We sold that on Trade Me, in
the end. But we’re trying to
help as many people as possible
get on bikes, so we always
try to help. We’ve had a lot of
people who want to ride but
have balancing problems on
a standard bike. You can buy
adult tricycles, but most of
them are more than $1000,
and a lot of people can’t afford
that. So I’ve invented an adult
tricycle prototype for them.
I saw you’ve invested all
kinds of things in the past,
too – like snow chains for
bicycles?
Yes. That was a few years
ago, and the weather’s been
so warm lately, I haven’t had
much opportunity to use
them. My bike trailers are my
most popular creation, but
one of my more recent was a
bike with a blender jug, which
makes a nice fruit smoothie as
you cycle.
That’s amazing – so you
can cycle to work and have a
smoothie ready once you get
there?
Well, the latest is more of a
stationary one.

to bring bicycles to the people
This is my third now. The first
one you could bike down the
road on, which was fun, but the
problem was the blender was
fixed in place, so you had to tip
the whole bike upside-down to
pour your smoothie out. Then
I built one with the blender on
the back, but then you couldn’t
see when your smoothie was
ready. This one has a removable
blender on the front.
And you create these around
your day job at Christchurch
Hospital. Your job title is
medical physicist – what does
that actually mean?
I do a lot of work with x-ray
machines, and 3D imaging and
3D printing. It’s a lot of technical
problem-solving and work on
development of new products,
finding new solutions to medical
problems. Things like 3D
printing can making treatment
better and more successful
and also save money so it’s easier
for people on low incomes to
access.
Where did your inventing
start – were you constantly
pulling things
apart as a child?
Definitely. A few clocks and a
lot of old electronics. It’s often
the best way to learn, though.
If we have a new volunteer at
ICEcycles, we’ll often get them
stripping the bikes apart first,
so they learn to use the tools
and get familiar with all the
components.
Do you
remember
your first
bike?
Definitely. It was a little blue
single speed. I remember riding
to kindy on my bike by myself
in Gore, where I grew up. I loved
the sense of freedom. It was so
good to be able to go where I
wanted, whenever I wanted.
You were at a fairly
fiery city council
meeting last week,
where a lot of
business owners
argued against the new
cycleways. They are worried
about the loss of car parking –
what are your thoughts on the
debate?
The roadways are definitely
the biggest thing I hear is
holding people back from
cycling because people don’t feel
safe enough to battle with cars.
So, I think the impact separated
cycleways will have on getting
people cycling is huge and
worthwhile. Christchurch used
to have more people cycling
than Copenhagen and
Amsterdam, but while they built
cycleways in the 70s, we built
roadways.
You’ve started a cycling
church. Could you tell me
about that?
It started years ago, when
I was discussing with a few
friends from Ilam Baptist
Church why we sit in church in
a darkened room, pulling the
curtains even on a beautiful
day, when we often feel more
spiritually alive biking around
in nature. So I suppose it was
a mindfulness exercise – when
you’re in a beautiful place you
should be appreciating it, but it
was also very tongue-in-cheek.
At one point, it was about 20
people, but I tend to just do
small rides with a few friends
now.

A way forward for Cathedral
CHRIST CHURCH Cathedral
sits at the very heart of
Christchurch – it’s the city’s
namesake, an icon, a place of
worship, a community facility, a
tourist attraction and a beloved
heritage building.
But, for more than six years,
New Zealand’s most well-known
church has sat in ruins – a sad
and constant reminder of all that
we’ve been through.
It’s a divisive issue and everyone
has an opinion but, one way
or another, a decision must be
made.
That’s why this week I presented
a Government offer of
reinstatement to Bishop Victoria
Matthews.
The offer includes a Crown
cash contribution of $10 million
and an interest free suspensory
loan of $15 million, as well as
$10 million from the city council
and $13.7 million from the Great
Christchurch Buildings Trust.
It also includes an independent
fundraising trust, legislation
to streamline the process and a
joint venture to govern and manage
the project.
The church would remain, by
far, the biggest contributor with
its insurance payment of $42
million.
Together, we have more than
Nicky Wagner
$90 million — enough to complete
the Cathedral and ancillary
buildings.
The offer is not about favouring
reinstatement over restoration or
a contemporary new-build. It’s
about finding a way forward that
doesn’t leave everyone tied up in
court for five to 10 years.
The Bishop and the Synod now
have a clear and detailed option
for consideration, with added security
and certainty, particularly
around funding.
In putting forward this offer,
the Government, city council
and heritage groups are attempting
to break the current stalemate
by balancing the property
rights of the Church with the
historical value of the building
and its economic potential.
This issue effects everyone in
Christchurch.
By reinstating
the Cathedral we
can finally unlock
the city centre and
once again have a
bustling and vibrant
core that attracts
tourists, appeals
to developers and
makes Cantabrians
— and New Zealanders
— proud.

Last week The Star
reported frontline police
in Canterbury would have
more weaponry to deal
with dangerous incidents
Brian Godfrey – As I
understand it, many police officers
have rapid access already
to firearms be in their vehicles
or stations. We don’t see these
officers wearing those firearms
unless the incident or event they
are attending requires them to
do so. The decision to access and
wear arms is made based on the
officers first hand information or
direction from a more senior officer/NCO
in a control position.
The officers with rapid access
are also trained and required
to confirm their understanding
of the rules around the use of
those firearms every time they
access them. I would hate to see
New Zealand move to armed
police as a matter of routine
like so many other countries
do, France, United States, as
a couple of examples. We do
have gun issues here for sure
and arming or not of the police
isn’t going to change that, it
may deter some one from using
a firearm improperly but most
of those who do so now will
continue to do so regardless of
the police being armed or not.
This is not a simple problem and
I don’t know the answer. The US
demonstrates how gun control
doesn’t work.

the lives of the police are threatened
by weaponry, then their

Vicki-Anne Parker – Police
need to feel safe and protected on
the streets. Being a former
partner of an officer who has been
assaulted and knowing of others
who have been assaulted on
the job it is just another way for
partners knowing they’re going to
be safe in a very dangerous situation
at last resort. A gun is only
ever used as a last resort when all
other options haven’t worked. I
know that if a stranger was walking
around shooting everywhere,
and if police shot them in the leg

Students want to bring change
LAST WEEK my hopes for the
future were boosted by two very
special events in Christchurch.
One was the remarkable
launch of the 2017 Youth
Custody Index by students at St
Thomas of Canterbury College
and other was attending the
community awards for people
in the Riccarton, Hornby and
Halswell areas.
Here I saw people who were
committed to making our
neighbourhoods, their city
and their country a better
place. This is something that
we should take time out to
celebrate.
THis year was the fourth that
students from St Thomas have
released their index which uses
the Official Information Act to
compile a snapshot of how well
the justice system is dealing
with young people.
THe impressive young men
who worked on the project
are confronting head-on the
important issue of how our
young people in custody are to
have a voice.
Impressively, they also
managed to bring together
all the country’s watchdogs
onto one stage for the launch.

Making city 21-century resilient still some way off
YOU PROBABLY saw the announcement
of SCIRT coming to an end.
THis generated howls of protest –
because of course there’s still a lot of work
to be done.
If, like me before I became the mayor,
you thought the Government had agreed
to contribute to fixing every bit of what we
call the horizontal infrastructure (roads
and pipes) damaged by the earthquakes,
you may well be disappointed by that. But
that’s what has happened.

to get everything done at once, but the
model didn’t allow for that
The truth is that the end of the SCIRT
contracting alliance does not mean everything
is now ‘as good as new’ – far from it.
Although the new pipes that have
been laid are now made of much better
materials capable of withstanding future
earthquakes, there is still more to be done,
so the promise of a 21st-century resilient
city is still some way off.

The good news about SCIRT is that we
now have really great information about
the state of our infrastructure. For example,
we now have CCTV surveys of approximately
43 per cent of our wastewater
network. Having data like this provides
the tools to develop the best asset management
system in the country.
The SCIRT alliance pays for any defects
we find in the next 12 months, but funding
now reverts to the usual local government
arrangements. This means NZTA
funds half the costs of approved roading
projects. But for the pipes and pump stations,
we are back to funding these on our
own.
We have set up a Three Waters Capital
Programme Directorate to better manage
the city’s water, stormwater and wastewater
systems. And we are developing an
integrated asset management system.
SCIRT may have finished and there may
still be more to do. But with improved
data, delivery, and your ideas feeding into
the Long Term Plan, we can deliver that
21st-century resilient city we were promised
– it’s just going to take more time.

Helen Baker – This decision is worrying,
another large quake could put
everyone in the building at risk as it will
not meet the new building codes. Plus it is
a horrible unsuitable building for patients

Stephen Leitch – The old Riverside
block was opened by Rob Muldoon back

shut properly, the heating that doesn’t go
on half the heaters and won’t go off on
the other half, and the freezing draughts
throughout the building in the middle of
the night is horrible and demoralising.
The building itself is disgusting. Where is
the money going to come from to repair
this and to maintain it in the future?
Let’s get real and use money for treating
patients and not paying for glue and tape
to keep holding the building together.
Sarah O’Keefe – I’ve spent time as
a patient in two wards of the Riverside
building, it needs to be pulled down. It’s

Allow the cider to come to a

chicken and serve. Accompany
with carrots and fennel cooked

GARDENING
ADVICE with
We have three fl owering cherry trees
QUESTION in our section. They appear to be
sending out roots which are coming
up in other parts of the garden. What is the best way to stop
this happening? I cut them back as soon they appear but
the little devils grow so fast. Will they cause any
damage to our new drive? And does cutting them back
have any effect on the trees?
Today’s winning question
came from Patrick Duggan.
Congratulations!
It is quite common
ANSWER for some cherry trees
(depending on the root
stock they are grafted on), to have suckers or
vegetative growth emerging from near ground level
and sometimes from the roots of the cherry tree.
This growth should be cut back when it becomes
apparent, otherwise it will grow quite quickly and consume
energy that would otherwise be available to the fl owering
cherry.
In some instances, this suckering growth only occurs when trees are quite juvenile, and other times it may
continue for a number of years.
There is no danger to the cherry tree in cutting this growth back, in fact quite the opposite. Do not be concerned
for your driveway; while the growth you outline is a nuisance, as long as it’s controlled quite quickly and regularly,
there should be little or no chance of actual physical damage to surrounding pathways or driveways.
Products to try: Daltons Compost, Daltons Mulch & Grow, Daltons Premium Tree & Shrub Fertiliser.
For more gardening advice, read our How to Grow Guides at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides

even grow them in pots.

you need to plant and care for fruit trees.
Valued at over $70, it contains:

More than one way to grow strawberries
EDIBLE GARDENS have never
been more popular and one of the
easiest of fruits to cultivate is the
strawberry.
Because of their compact habit,
strawberries can be grown in hanging
baskets, containers or the aptlynamed
strawberry pots, as well as
the usual raised-up garden beds.
They can begin cropping in a
matter of weeks and will go on
producing for much of the year,
especially in warmer areas.
•Strawberries in the garden –
Choose a sunny position
that hasn’t grown strawberries
for a number of years and dig in
some organic compost.
Plant strawberry runners or
seedlings into raised-up mounds,
and apply a layer of mulch. It
important it is to mulch the plants,
both to retain moisture and to
keep the fruit cleanly above the
soil. Pea straw or lucerne hay
make a good a mulch.
Remove runners, unless you
want to use them to propagate
some new plants (which should be
done every three years or so).
•Strawberries in pots – Start by
choosing a suitable container. Fill
with a top quality potting
mix and plant the strawberries.
Water in well.
Feed occasionally with plant
food and watch out for snails and
slugs.
•Strawberries in hanging
baskets – This is a fun way to
grow strawberries, but the main
challenge with growing any plant
in a hanging basket is that it’s
much more vulnerable to drying
out. Line moss baskets with plastic
sheet and poke holes for drainage.
Fill with a hanging basket mix
which contains added soil wetters
and water-storing crystals. Ripe
berries look particularly decorative
dangling from a basket (right).

Opera singer on path to greatness
.kiwi
Thursday July 6 2017
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN EMERGING opera singer
is one step closer to achieving
her ultimate dream of one day
performing at the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York City.
From the moment Elisabeth
Harris, 30, scored a free ticket to
see Giacomo Puccini’s Madama
Butterfly in her early teens, she
knew the dramatic life of opera
was for her.
“Opera is ridiculous. The
things that happen in three
hours, it is just over the top, but
I love that, I can’t get enough,”
she said.
Nearly 20 years later, the
mezzo soprano, who grew up in
Opawa, will travel to the United
States in September to train
under former leading New York
City Opera company singer Ruth
Golden at the Manhattan School
of Music.
Harris is currently based in
Wellington where she runs her
own music teaching business.
She will hold a special farewell
concert in Christchurch on
August 20, featuring some of her
favourite opera pieces, including
music from Carmen and
composers Benjamin Britten and
Wolfgang Mozart.
The show will feature performances
from singer Ingrid
Fomison-Nurse, pianist Anna
Maksymova, 13-year-old violinist
Justin Hodges and soprano
singer Jayden Walker.
UPCOMING: Elisabeth Harris at the New Zealand Aria competition in Rotorua with the Auckland
Philharmonia Orchestra.
With a love of fashion and
picking up quirky pieces online
and at op-shops, Harris does not
look like your typical traditional
opera singer.
“There are so many opera singers
trying to make it, you have
got to have a point of difference,
and if I am remembered as the
girl with the crazy hair, so be it,”
she said.
Harris’ endeavour to complete
her Masters of Music overseas
has been nearly two years in the
making after she deferred her
acceptance to the Manhattan
School of Music to raise further
funds and be with her terminally
ill father.
Her father Geoff was diagnosed
with early-onset Alzheimer’s
disease and died just before
his 55th birthday in December.
“I am sure he would be happy
I am following my dreams . . . it
was a bit of a problem for him
initially having a daughter on the
stage but he got his head around
it,” she said.
While Harris said she inherited
her father’s sense of humour,
he was quite shy and didn’t like
to be the centre of attention,
which made for an interesting
combination when his daughter
first wanted to be on the stage.
But she has fond memories of
the last recital she performed for
her father at The Piano last year.
“He still remembered me and
was so happy for me and what I
was doing – it was really exciting,”
she said.
She said it would be fabulous
to be up on stage at the Metropolitan
Opera House, and
her main goals are to become a
professional opera singer, keep
teaching and possibly start her
own young artist programme.
•Mezzo to Manhattan
will be held from 2pm on
Sunday, August 20, at Knox
Church.
Door sales cost $30.
To book, phone Lynne
Havenaar on 960 4090 or
email info@operafoundation.

Ali Harper delights audience with her Songs For Nobodies
Songs For Nobodies by
Joanna Murray-Smith,
directed by Ross Gumbley,
The Court Theatre.
Reviewed by Barry
Southam
IT TAKES a class performer
to stand alone on a stage for
an hour and a half and keep an
audience captivated.
Ali Harper does just that with
Songs For Nobodies.
Her rendition of Edith Piaf,
the little sparrow, was top
drawer. Although Piaf’s rough
edge was not quite there, it was
still a very recognisable version
of her famous forebear.
Again, a full-throated Come
Rain Or Shine brought back
memories of that gutsy singer
Judy Garland, who could always
belt out a number.
Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit,
was a good contrast to Ain’t
Nobody’s Business If I Do and
Patsy Kline’s performance
at the Soldiers and Sailors
Memorial Hall in 1962 was
well reproduced, providing the
largest selection of the night,
including the classic Stand By
Your Man.
To complete the quintet
of famous singers, there was
the challenging Vissi d’arte
from Puccini’s Tosca by Maria
Callas on board the Christina
somewhere in the Mediterranean
on August 3, 1957. It was given
the full volume treatment, no
easy task.
The range of styles is
formidable but Harper
handled the transitions with
apparent ease, seeming just as
comfortable with jazz as
with opera or country and
western.
Musical director Richard
Marrett should be well
pleased with the results of
their collaboration, as should
writer, Australian Joanna
Murray-Smith, who only gave
permission for the rights for the
play to be performed in New
Zealand if Harper undertook the
demanding role.

BUSY: The crowds of Shibuya are a warm-up to the throbbing entertainment mecca of Shinjuku (centre). Try the Robot Restaurant.
Explore Tokyo’s entertainment mecca
• By Mike Yardley
LIKE MUCH of Tokyo, the
once war-torn moonscape of
Shibuya is a glitzy, buzzing
district of skyscrapers, shops and
entertainment.
Outside the railway station, I
ventured to Shibuya Crossing,
nicknamed The Scramble, which
lays claim to being the world’s
busiest pedestrian crossing.
I’ll take their word for it.
Beneath the dancing blaze of
giant video screens, watching the
sea of humanity cross the street,
from all quarters, is a stunningly
engrossing spectacle, like massmovement
ballet.
By the time the next light phase
rolls round, each street corner has
been fully reloaded with a fresh
stock of humanity, like a seamless
video loop. Braving the crowds
of Shibuya is a warm-up for the
throbbing, pulsating entertainment
mecca of Shinjuku.
Over 3 million people pass
through the world’s busiest train
station each day, and Shinjuku’s
entertainment excesses sprawl
to the east, in a head-spinning
spangle of neon-drenched lighting
and LED screens. Strip-clubs,
pachinko parlours, jazz bars, love
hotels, fetish bars and cabarets all
jostle for attention in notorious
Kabukicho, Tokyo’s notorious
red-light district.
Don’t flash your wallet too
openly in these parts – and males
on their own can expect plenty of
attention from big-talking touts.
Adjoining Kabukicho are the
evocative alleyways of Golden
Gai, a throwback to Tokyo’s earlier
days, home to a time-warped
tumble of tiny drinking dens,
many who hook punters in with
trademark gimmicks, whether
it’s a signature drink, off-the-wall
décor or outlandish staff costumes,
like troll toys or hospital uniforms.
Champion and Albatross are
two of the tourist favourites, but
aside from these larger bars, gawp
up a few staircases to see what
takes your fancy. Shinjuku is also
home to the mesmerising and
glittery escapism of the Robot
Restaurant.
BEAUTY: Andaz Tokyo is a lifestyle hotel revolution. The bathrooms are a wooden haven while the guestrooms exude purity of form.

SALE
Capable Subaru
for on or off-road
• By Ross Kiddie
I’M OFTEN asked if I
would like to take a long
road trip to form a media
vehicle evaluation.
That was the case when
I eagerly accepted an
opportunity to drive the
new Subaru Impreza XV
back to Auckland after last
week’s media launch in
Napier.
I’m so pleased I did, for
it was a fabulous drive and
one which really proved
how capable the XV is on
the highway. I can also
report it is a competent
vehicle off the seal - the
launch provided the opportunity
to tackle some
shingle roads - and on the
long haul back to Auckland
I stopped at a friend’s home
south of Hamilton who has
a driveway that is steep and
muddy, the XV was in its
element with 220mm of
ground clearance and fourwheel-drive.
The new XV was a long
time coming, it’s roughly
been a five-year life cycle
and that’s about as long
as you would expect a
manufacturer to produce a
variant in today’s market.
Nevertheless, the newcomer
was worth the wait,
it arrives here in two levels
– Sport and Premium
– both are keenly priced
at $34,990 and $39,990
respectively, which by my
reckoning are the bargains
of the mid-size crossover/
sport utility vehicle market.
The XV is a compact
SUV, it’s not a big car but
there is adequate room for
five, and given increased
underhatch proportions
there’s enough room to
pack the tent and camping
gear for the high-country
fishing trip.
The XV certainly hasn’t
lost any of its X-factor, it
is a stunning looker with
chunky, bold and almost
aggressive styling. It has an
in-your-face wheel design
which promotes a can-do
look, and it has a wilful
driving feel.
Under the bonnet sits
a 2-litre, horizontallyopposed,
four-cylinder
engine, both models drive
through a continuously
variable automatic transmission
with a seven-step,
paddle-shift function.
The XV’s engine is rated
with 115kW of power
(6000rpm) and 196Nm
of torque available at
4000rpm. The way the
engine works through CVT
SUBARU IMPREZA XV: Four-wheel-drive for all
conditions.
is uninhibited, and it is
dynamic in the respect that
it pulls happily no matter
what point the engine revolutions
are operating at.
Response to throttle
request is decisive. I kept at
a steady pace which meant
several highway overtakes,
and the power comes in
freely without strain nor
much sound in total.
• Price – Subaru
Impreza XV, $34,990
• Dimensions –
Length, 4465mm;
width, 1800mm;
height, 1615mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1995cc, 115kW,
196Nm, continuously
variable automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9.6.sec
• Fuel usage –
7l/100km
If you listen hard you
can detect the harmonics
which accompany the
boxer engine design, but it
is well isolated and far from
intrusive.
The engine is free-revving
and responsive, but
the beauty of the flat-four
engine is its ability to work
low down, and with the
inclusion of CVT it quickly
settles into a low revving
pattern.
Against the stopwatch
the XV will launch to
100km/h from a standstill
in 9.6sec and will make
120km/h from 80km/h in
5.8sec. These are satisfactory
figures which will give
peace of mind.
Subaru claims a sevenlitre
per 100km (40mpg)
combined cycle fuel usage
average, development work
on the boxer engine to
keep it fuel-friendly has
been ongoing and that
certainly showed during
my long highway haul.
At 100km/h it sips fuel at
the rate of just 5l/100km
(56mpg) with the engine
turning over slowly at just
1550rpm. My entire Napier
to Auckland average was
7.7l/100km (37mpg) which
I thought was most impressive.
Through lack of familiarity
and the threat of
ice, I didn’t push the XV
too hard into the tight
and twisty sections of the
Central Plateau, but I can
report that it steers with
precision and has accuracy
and balance which seems
quite unnatural for a vehicle
which is over 1.6m tall.
Even though it sits high,
the centre of gravity is still
low, that’s a by-product
of the flat-four engine,
the weight sits low in the
engine bay and that has a
beneficial affect against the
force of gravity.
Subaru has upspecced
the new generation model.
There’s a raft of new gear
including Eyesight – a
computer-guided safety
technology – Apple Car
Play and Android Auto
are fitted, along with the
clever X-mode drive system
which improves driver
control on rough roads,
steep terrain and slippery
surfaces through integrated
control of the engine. On
the downhill slope at my
friend’s home, hill descent
control kept the XV at slow,
steady speed.
All of these inclusions sit
over and above the normal
features you would expect
in today’s modern car and,
of course, the XV gets a
five-star Australasian New
Car Assessment Program
safety rating.
The new model will be
in showroom floors later
this month which is just
in time for the winter ski
season. I know it’s been a
popular car on the skifield
access roads since its inception,
and with Subaru sales
buoyant in the South Island
I can see its value and capability
tempting to a large
cross-section of buyers.

Nate Myles to make Melbourne Storm debut off bench
VETERAN PROP Nate Myles
is set to make his Melbourne
Storm debut after being named
on the bench to face the
Parramatta Eels on Saturday
night.
The 230-game former
Queensland forward made a
mid-season move to Melbourne
from Manly and has been
recovering from a dislocated
elbow.
But a strong showing in the
Queensland Cup last weekend,
plus the loss of six Storm players
to Queensland’s State of Origin
side, has led to Myles being
added to the Storm’s starting 17
this round, The Sydney Morning
Herald reported.
The Storm won’t confirm
their final side until game
day but Myles’ leadership and
experience is seen as an asset
with captain Cameron Smith,
Cooper Cronk, Billy Slater, Tim
Glasby, Will Chambers and
Cameron Munster all missing

the game due to State of Origin
preparations.
The Eels have lost no players
to Origin so have stars such
as Michael Jennings, Corey
Norman and Semi Radradra in
their starting side.
Another mid-season Storm
signing, former South Sydney
forward Robbie Rochow, has
made the 21 outside the game
day side, but could still
come into the team later in the
week.

• By Gordon Findlater
ONE OF the country’s most
experienced whistle-blowers
has celebrated 25 years in the
craft by officiating in his 1000th
game.
Marc Anderson, 55, began
refereeing football in 1992 after a
stint playing the game in the 80s
and early 90s.
“I played to an extremely
average level. I was one of those
players who thought he was a lot
better than he actually was and I
had the attitude to match that as
well,” said Anderson.
His decision to take up
refereeing came on the back of
multiple concussions in 1991,
the last of which caused him to
end up in hospital. Faced with
potentially not being able to play
the game, he took a refereeing
test, which he passed with flying
colours.
“My first game was at Lower
Linwood Fields in April, 1992.
I remember it vividly – it was
absolutely bucketing down and
it was an under-18 match,” said
Anderson.
“I was mentored in the early
stages by our late patron Ivan
Billcliff. If it wasn’t for him, I
probably wouldn’t have stayed in
the game as long as I have.”
From there, Anderson moved
to Ashburton and spent a
number of years refereeing in
Mid-Canterbury.
“I got into it pretty full-on
down there. It would be nothing
on a Saturday to do four to five
games. You’d start in the morning
with a 15th grade, then a
17th and a 19th, and you would
end up doing a senior game later
on,” he said.
“By the time Saturday evening
rolled around, you were pretty
OFFICIAL: Marc Anderson has become just the second
Mainland referee to officiate 1000 games.
knackered.”
Anderson’s most memorable
tournament also came during
his time in Mid-Canterbury
when Ashburton hosted the
1994 Japan Cup.
The tournament was a 12th
grade competition played over a
week. It featured two teams from
Japan and around 20 teams from
the South Island. Just a couple of
days before it was due to begin,
the fields were covered in 15cm
of snow.
“We had six fields which had
the snow graded off them and
pushed up along the side line, so
they looked like six little bowls.
I’ve never refereed in colder
conditions,” said Anderson.
His 1000th match came last
month in a Canterbury Championship
League game between
Selwyn UFC and Christchurch
United. He became just the second
Mainland Football referee
to bring up the milestone.
“I got a round of applause
from both teams, which was a
nice touch.”
Believe it or not, in his 25
years in charge of games Anderson
has only ever had hands laid
on him once.
“I’ve had plenty of people yell
and scream at me, but people
usually only do that once because
they generally get to warm
their car up or see if the showers
are working,” said Anderson.
Following this season, Anderson
plans on hanging up his
boots and spending more time
coaching and mentoring young
referees.
When asked what has changed
most over his 25-year career,
he had this to say: “It’s basically
the same, there’s just less hair
and more weight than when I
started,” Anderson joked.
“After 25 years, you become
a bit like a good No 8 in rugby.
He knows how to cover the
ground smartly and you get a
sense of where the ball is going
to be before it gets there,” said
Anderson.
“I just love everything about
the game – 99 per cent of the
time it’s been an absolute joy.”
Nel continues to dominate metro competition
• By Gordon Findlater
SOUTH AFRICAN Dylan
Nel continues to dominant the
MVP race in the metro club
competition.
The Sumner No 8 scored two
tries and set up another during
Sumner’s 28-9 win over High
School Old Boys at the weekend.
The 24-year-old now has 11 tries
for Sumner this season to lead all
scorers in the metro competition.
In the MVP medal standings, he
has 19 points this season, six more
than his nearest rival.
“He’s got an ability to break
tackles because he’s so big and
strong, but then he also has a lot of
speed for a big guy,” said Sumner
coach Martin Dodgson.
Nel made the move to Sumner
from South Africa to further develop
his game and is currently in
his third season with the club.
He led the team with 10 tries
last season – a feat he has already
eclipsed in 2017.
It’s no secret that Nel is highly
thought of by many in higher
ranks.
Earlier this year, he was rushed
to South Africa as injury cover for
the Crusaders when Kieran Read
broke his thumb.
Nel has also been given a
handful of opportunities for
Canterbury, including their recent
Ranfurly Shield defence over
Wanganui.
It’s expected he will play a big
role for the provincial side later
this year.
“Who knows where his ceiling
is. He is just so single-minded
in his desire to get better,” said
Dodgson.
DOMINANT: Sumner No 8 Dylan Nel has scored more tries than any other player in this
year’s club competition.

Crusaders v Highlanders ‘friendly’ before finals
THE CRUSADERS will play the
Highlanders for the third time
this season in a warm-up game in
Timaru today.
The game is in preparation for
the final round of Super Rugby’s
regular season next week,
followed by the start of the finals
series in which both teams are
guaranteed a spot.
The team will be captained by
No 8 Jordan Taufua, with fellow
loose-forward Heiden Bedwell-
Curtis and reserve halfback Bryn
Hall as his vice-captains.
The ‘friendly’ will be an
opportunity for a number of
players to return to play for the
Crusaders following injuries
earlier in the season, including
Tim Perry, who will start at
loose-head prop; Mitchell
Dunshea, who will start at lock;
and outside backs Jone Macilai
and Digby Ioane, who will come
off the bench.
Latest Christchurch news at www.

Five players from outside of the
Crusaders squad – Chris Gawler,
Jonno Osbourne, Shannon
Frizell, Braydon Ennor and
Vernon Fredericks – will also get
the chance to have a run off the
bench.
Coach Scott Robertson says
the game is a great chance for the
team to reconnect as they head
into the next phase of the Super
Rugby competition.
“After a month with no
fixtures, the team is fizzing
and ready to take the field on
Thursday,” said Robertson.
This game will be a great
opportunity for us to find our
rhythm again and test our match
readiness against a top quality
side.”
Today’s game will kick off at
3pm.

It’s like sudoku: each
vertical and horizontal
line has to contain
the numbers 1-6, and
the numbers can’t be
repeated in any row or
column.
But it’s sudoku with a
twist: The numbers in
each heavily outlined
set of squares, called
cages, must produce the
number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means
the numbers add up to 5,
9x means the numbers
multiply to equal 9.
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the
same line or row.

Your Earthquake
damaged home!
Talk to us if you are serious about
selling your “As is Where is” home.
We have sold over
100 “As is Where is”
homes and we have
a huge database of
qualified buyers.
We have
achieved record
breaking prices
recently!
The Best Kept Secrets
to Selling Your Home
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is the
only impression
No matter how good the interior of your home looks,
buyers have already judged your home before they walk
through the door. You never have a second chance to
make a first impression. It’s important to make people
feel warm, welcome and safe as they approach the
house. Spruce up your home’s exterior with inexpensive
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry ways are also
important. You use it as a utility space for your coat and
keys. But, when you’re selling, make it welcoming by
putting in a small bench or a vase of fresh-cut flowers.
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you
never know when your buyer is going to walk through
the door. You have to be available whenever they want
to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape.
Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher
cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure
there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little
inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first
You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling
your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of
remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back.
It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops
where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking
price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most
inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new
cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can
present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start
envisioning their own style. If you have a little money
to spend, buy one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why
one? Because when people see one high-end appliance
they think all the rest are expensive too and it updates
the kitchen.
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of your house
One of the most important things to do when selling
your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal
stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can
imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your
stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos,
memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.
Staging simply means arranging your furniture to best
showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space.
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade
Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth
makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your
money back if you do a huge improvement project before
you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates
that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh
coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door handles,
cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track,
fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm the hearts
of potential buyers, but you’d be wrong. Not everybody
is a dog- or cat-lover. Buyers don’t want to walk in your
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell the kitty
litter box or have tufts of pet hair stuck to their clothes.
It will give buyers the impression that your house is not
clean. If you’re planning an open home don’t leave your
pets around.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong real estate agent.
Make sure you have an agent who is totally informed.
They must constantly monitor the multiple listing
service (MLS), know what properties are going on the
market and know the comps in your neighborhood. Find
an agent who embraces technology – a tech-savvy one
has many tools to get your house sold.
Selling Secret #8: Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After location, good
light is the one thing that every buyer cites that they
want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the
windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage
of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let
in sunshine. Do what you have to do make your house
bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets
Storage is something every buyer is looking for and
can never have enough of. Take half the stuff out of
your closets then neatly organize what’s left in there.
Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and
cabinets clean and tidy.

Yes, everyone is saying sales have slowed
down with solicitors saying that contracts
coming in are noticeably fewer and the
Christchurch City Council LIMS taking only a
couple of days. In fact today as I write this
there are only 39 LIM applications showing.
But there are definitely buyers out there, a
lot of them pre-approved and just waiting
to find their new home. It is an excellent
time to do real estate business if you are
buying and selling on the same market.
DOING A REAL ESTATE
TRANSACTION IN WINTER
It’s not for everyone, but it is an excellent
time to sell. There are always buyers in the
market and winter buyers are usually very
serious and motivated to be out in all
weathers. The number of houses available
is usually less which gives you an advantage
over those who may decide to sell in Spring.
Viewing a house in winter will give a buyer
the opportunity to see how it performs in
terms of winter sun, heating and insulation.
Some buyers prefer to buy in winter.
Presentation is always important inside and
out, so do you best to show your home in its
very best light. Ensure you have done any
small maintenance jobs such as cleaning the
guttering or chimney.
Do you know what the current
value of your home is? Find out,
call Trish now for a free appraisal.

about what your CV should include. Ensure
those precious seconds allow you to stand
apart from the rest. Make sure your CV is
top-notch by avoiding these top 10 CV
mistakes.
1. Too focused on Job Duties
One of the most common CV mistakes is to
turn your CV into a dull list of job duties and
responsibilities. Instead you should:
• Demonstrate how you made a difference at
each company
• Provide specific examples of how the
company benefited from your performance
2. Objective Statement that is Too
General
• Many candidates lose their readers from
the very beginning of the CV with their
objective statement
• Consider using a tagline which is a
statement of what you do or what your
specialty is
3. Too Short or Too Long
• Don’t try and squeeze everything onto one
page because you’ve heard that a CV
should never be longer than one page.
That’s a myth!
• Don’t ramble either, your reader will get
bored and give up
• Only include information about yourself that
will get you an interview
4. Use of “I” and “Me”
• CVs should be concise
• Don’t refer to yourself in first person

5. Listing Personal or Irrelevant
Information
• Only include your hobbies and interests if
they relate to the job
• Personal information such as date of birth
and marital status don’t need to be included
6. The Layout
One of the most effective CV formats is the
modified chronological type. Here is the basic
layout:
• Header (name, address, email address,
phone number)
• Objective Statement or Tagline
• A strong profile section (detailing your
experience and skills)
• Reverse chronological employment history
(nothing past 10-15 years ago)
• Education
• Only list hobbies/community activities/
memberships if its relevant to the job
7. Not Including a Profile Summary
• A profile summary should demonstrate the
skill level and experiences directly related to
the position
• To create a high-impact summary statement,
read numerous job adverts to determine
what features are important to employers
• Write a list of your matching skills,
experience, and education. These selling
points should be incorporated into the
summary.

Stepping
down after
25 years
Caroline Kellaway with
Ian Brook (new President) and
Gordon Reid (life member)
RECENT Club Elections has seen long
term Club President Caroline Kellaway
step down after an impressive 25 years
in office.
Working Men’s Clubs were
traditionally male domains that women
were not allowed to join.
It was not until the late 80's that rules
changed and women were allowed to
join Clubs and permitted access to the
main drinking bars.
Women as Board Members , in
particular Club President, was unheard
of. That was until 1992 when Caroline
Kellaway was appointed President of the
Woolston WMC, making her NZ’s first
ever female president of a Chartered
Club.
During her extensive time in office
Caroline has worked tirelessly to get the
Club to the where it is now.
“Keeping the Club spirit alive has
always been my main goal, especially
following the earthquakes,” said
Caroline. “We’re community minded and
lost many members through red zoning.
We still contend with bad roads. I’ve
worked long and hard to make sure we
get things upgraded for our members.
I’m pleased to step down with the Club
refurbished and a new restaurant.”
Aside from decades of devoted
involvement with the Woolston Club,
Caroline’s resume includes Vice-
President of Clubs NZ; Chairperson of
Clubs NZ Sports Council; a member of
the Burwood-Pegasus Community
Board; and is a Justice of the Peace. She
has also held roles as a judicial bench JP
and NZ Prison Visiting Justice. In 2008
she was awarded an ONZM for services
in the community.
Caroline says she will remain strongly
involved with the Club and has already
started her next project compiling and
recording the Woolston Club’s history.
Former Vice President Ian Brook has
been appointed new Club Present.
