More guns for police 

Armed incidents 

on the increase 

• By Andrew King 

FRONTLINE POLICE in 

Canterbury will have more 

weaponry from Saturday to deal 

with dangerous incidents. 

The number of rifles and 

handguns will increase in police 

vehicles to give officers more fire 

power. 

The initiative is being rolled out 

across New Zealand 

in response 

to the increasing 

number of armed 

incidents. 

It comes at 

a time when 

the Police Association 

– the 

police officers’ 

union – released 

a 30-page document last week 

supporting the general arming of 

police. 

The NZ Police don’t support 

the general arming. 

The report has been distributed 

to political parties to let them 

know of rank and file police 

views on arming. 

Police Association president 

Chris Cahill said yesterday the 

increase in criminals confronting 

officers with firearms means police 

should be armed all the time. 

“If there isn’t something done 

around the proliferation of firearms 

in the hands of criminals, 

then it is inevitable police will 

have to carry firearms on them 

(at all times) as well,” he said. 

The increase in the number of 

guns available to frontline police 

from Saturday was an indication 

full general arming like in 

Australia could be a reality in the 

future, he said. 

Last year, The Star revealed 

firearms were being stolen to 

order in Canterbury and falling 

into the hands of hardened criminals. 

Handguns were being sold 

for $1000 on the black market. 

Police are now regularly finding 

firearms in 

vehicles they stop. 

But police 

national manager 

of response and 

operation, Superintendent 

Chris 

Scahill, yesterday 

said the current 

environment does 

not support officers 

being armed. 

“Who knows what the future 

will hold, but right now we don’t 

feel there is a need. But like anything, 

we will continue to review 

and assess the environment and 

society’s expectations,” he said. 

Replied Mr Cahill: “We will 

continue to lobby for officers to 

carry firearms all the time,” he 

said. 

Superintendent Scahill said the 

initiative to increase the amount 

of weaponry was based around 

having more police available to 

deal with armed incidents. 

“The whole idea is to increase 

the number of sworn staff who 

can respond to armed scenarios. 

Then we needed to increase the 

number of weapons available to 

those officers,” he said.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

The Star 

News.....................................3-12 

IT’S NO surprise police are 

now increasing the amount of 

fire power they have (see 

page 1). 

The number of people 

carrying firearms has 

increased dramatically in 

recent years, and with that 

comes a huge danger to both 

the public and the police. 

In years gone by there was 

the odd shoot-out between 

the gangs, and those who 

were robbing banks would use 

guns. 

But now with the huge 

proliferation of drugs, 

particularly meth, and the 

violence that goes with it 

among those who wheel and 

deal in that industry, having a 

gun handy is fairly important. 

It could save your life if 

someone is coming through 

the door to rip you off, and of 

course if you are going to steal 

drugs off someone else you’ll 

likely need a gun to do it. 

Otherwise you’ll get shot. 

So no surprises the police 

are arming up. 

It’s a crazy world out there.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week In history saw Canterbury’s first armed robbery. 

On June 27, 1846, three men held up the Greenwood 

brothers’ farm at Purau. On the same day in 1964, The 

Beatles visited, drawing large crowds. On June 30, 1849, 

the New Zealand Company bought the remaining French 

interests at Akaroa from the Nanto-Bordelaise Company. 

And on July 1, 1935, evening papers the Star and Sun 

merged to become the Star Sun. The merger ended a sixyear 

newspaper war – one of the longest and most bitter 

in New Zealand’s history. The “peace” agreement between 

the three companies concerned also saw the demise of the 

Christchurch Times, once the Lyttelton Times, which was 

the oldest daily paper in the country.

‘CONE RANGERS’ IN ACTION 

Look out road cones. The ‘Cone Ranger’ 

initiative has been launched by the 

Christchurch Transport Operations 

Centre to collect stray cones to tidy up 

the city’s streets and make them safer to 

navigate. CTOC manager Ryan Cooney 

said some contractors were using cones 

and signs inappropriately, such as using 

them to book spaces for deliveries. 

On their first day, the cone rangers 

collected 280 redundant cones, 16 signs, 

two fences, two pedestrian ramps and 

a barrier.

Appeal to help hero dog 

• By Amy Wiggins 

PIP CLARK’S dog saved her 

from a knife-wielding intruder 

who broke into her home, 

now he’s sick and she’s doing 

everything she can to save him. 

Just over a year ago Ms Clark, 

32, was getting ready for work 

when she found a man inside 

her Dallington home. 

Charlie, her 5-year-old 

standard poodle, was upstairs 

when she came across the 

intruder in the ground floor 

of her house on November 25, 

2015. 

“He started punching me and 

I was in shock and he went to 

punch me again but he actually 

had a knife. He tried to bring it 

down on my neck but I put my 

arm up so he cut my arm quite 

bad. I screamed and that’s when 

Charlie heard and came down 

and went for the guy.” 

When the intruder saw the 

black dog racing toward him, 

teeth bared, he ran out the 

door, jumped the fence and 

disappeared, she said. 

“He saved my life.” 

She said police never found 

the intruder. After the attack, 

she decided to speak out when a 

computer generated sketch was 

released of a similar-looking 

man who tried to abduct a 

woman at Selwyn’s Coes Ford in 

December. 

Since the attack, Charlie had 

• From page 1 

“This allows any response 

officer on duty to be able to have 

access to those weapons,” he 

said. 

Canterbury-based Inspector 

Bryan Buck said: “Criminals 

have more access than ever to 

firearms and we need to be able 

to deal with situations like that 

safely for the staff involved and 

the public. 

UNWELL: Pip Clark is appealing for help to pay for her dog 

Charlie’s vet treatment. 


become anxious and started 

eating household objects when 

she wasn’t home. He became 

sick a couple of weeks ago. 

Earlier this week, he started 

vomiting, developed diarrhoea 

“This enables us to react 

quickly to worst-case scenarios.” 

Officers have been undergoing 

training in the past 12 months 

to prepare for the increased 

number of firearms they will 

soon have, he said. 

Police have dealt with a number 

of serious armed incidents 

in recent times. 

In February Murray James 

Allan was shot in the face after 

and started defecating blood. 

The vet at Papanui Pet Doctors 

did x-rays and scans and 

found a blockage in his intestine 

so operated on him yesterday. 

They found bits of towel 

he pointed a blank firing pistol 

at police in Woolston. 

Douglas Anderson Roake 

recently pleaded guilty to six 

armed robberies of bars and the 

shooting of two women near 

Rolleston on April 19. 

A task force was formed to 

catch Roake, who amassed more 

than $115,000 in his one-man 

crime wave. He will be sentenced 

on August 23. 

blocking his intestines, which 

they removed. 

They expected him to fully recover, 

but because Ms Clark can 

only work part time because of 

serious organ problems, she’s 

struggling to afford Charlie’s 

treatment. 

She believed it would cost 

about $5000. She has used her 

savings, sold some of her jewellery 

and borrowed money from 

family but has still come up 

short. 

The vet says she can pay it off 

over time, but she is appealing 

for donations on Givealittle to 

pay a deposit. 

“Charlie came into my life 

when I thought I couldn’t 

survive my severe injuries any 

longer. When the treatment was 

excruciatingly painful he was 

always there for cuddles and 

helped me through,” she said. 

In 2013, Ms Clark was walking 

Charlie in Burwood Park 

when he was attacked by a staffordshire 

bull terrier. 

Eight people playing tennis at 

Burwood Tennis Club ran over, 

pulled the dog off Charlie and 

formed a circle to keep it from 

getting at him again.

Police armed with more guns 

Since August 2016 nine bars 

have been robbed at gunpoint, 

while dairies, petrol stations 

and bottle stores have been the 

targets of armed robberies also. 

The Woolston Night ‘n Day 

has been robbed 10 times since 

September 2016. 

The Police Association believes 

the time is right to have 

all officers carrying firearms, 

but police say it is not needed. 

In Brief 

WET CONCRETE VICTIM 

A 46-year-old man suffered 

serious injuries on Monday after 

falling in freshly poured concrete 

in Prebbleton. He was pouring 

concrete when the incident 

happened at about 11am. 

ROBBERY YOUTHS CHARGED 

Four youths have been charged 

with the robbery of Challenge 

Opawa on June 15. The masked, 

hammer-wielding youths took 

more than $6000 in cash and 

tobacco. Police arrested two of the 

four suspects, aged 14 and 15, last 

week before picking the other two, 

aged 15 and 16, up this week. All 

four have been charged with aggravated 

robbery and will appear in 

the youth court. 

$100K DONATION FOR PARK 

A mystery $100,000 donation could 

see the upgrade of Scarborough 

Park in Sumner fast-tracked. The 

city council had pushed the park’s 

revamp back until 2019/2020 due to 

a lack of funding. However, it now 

plans to reinstate funding as long 

as it receives the private donation in 

the first quarter of 2017/2018. The 

city council would not release the 

name of the private donor. 

TAYLER RECOVERING 

Former Commonwealth Games 

10,000m gold medallist Dick Tayler 

is making good progress from a 

heart-related medical incident. 

Tayler, 68, was admitted to Rotorua 

Hospital last week. His friend Paul 

Allison said he was “on the road 

to recovery.” Tayler, who lived in 

Christchurch for many years after 

winning gold at the 1974 games, 

now lives in Waikouaiti. He was 

on a two-week tour following the 

British and Irish Lions when the 

medical incident occurred. 

LINWOOD COLLEGE MOVE 

Linwood College will temporarily 

shift to the Avonside Girls’ High 

School site while the college is 

rebuilt. It will move in term 2, 2019, 

after Avonside Girls’ High has 

moved to its new school site at QE 

II with Shirley Boys’ High School. 

Linwood College’s rebuild is due to 

be completed at the end of 2020.

Speeding drink 

driver caught 

twice before 


A MAN caught driving 164km/h 

while four times the legal limit in 

May has been caught drink driving 

before. 

Brett John Owen, 41, recorded 

1025mcg/L after he was pulled 

over for speeding on May 20 near 

Motukarara at about 5pm. 

The legal limit is 250mcg/L. 

Yesterday in district court he 

pleaded guilty to driving with 

excess breath alcohol and driving 

at excessive speed. 

He was sentenced to six months 

loss of licence, fined $1800 plus 

court costs and sentenced to nine 

months supervision. 

His lawyer applied for him to 

have an alcohol interlock device fitted 

to his car after the six months 

suspension, which the judge granted. 

It will be fitted for 12 months. 

He had previously been convicted 

twice for drink-driving, most 

recently in September 2013, where 

he recorded 1214mcg/L. 

When asked what his excuse for 

driving so recklessly, Owen said: “I 

just put my foot down.” 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said it 

was one of the highest readings he 

could remember. 

“It is complete stupidity,” he said

Scott statue repair to begin 

WORK IS about to begin to 

repair the statue of British 

Antarctic explorer Captain 

Robert Falcon Scott. 

The statue was rocked from its 

plinth in Oxford Tce during the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

The 100-year-old statue 

commemorates Scott and the 

men who perished with him 

on the return journey from 

the South Pole in 1912. Carved 

in marble by Scott’s widow 

Kathleen, it is considered of 

national and international 

importance. 

When it fell, the 2.5-tonne 

statue broke unevenly at the 

ankles, making the repair 

technically difficult. 

A team of experts, including a 

structural engineer and a sculptor, 

has researched, developed 

and tested a repair strategy 

that involves threading carbon 

fibre rods through the legs to 

strengthen them and installing 

a form of base isolation in the 

plinth. 

This week the statue was taken 

out of storage, hoisted high in 

the air and gradually lowered 

head-first into a specially 

constructed frame that will 

support it while the repair work

City council head of parks, 

Andrew Rutledge, said a lot of 

work had gone into getting the 

repair project to this stage. 

“The testing was very 

successful. We’ve done 

everything we possibly can to 

minimise the risk of damaging 

the statue further.” 

He said those working on 

the statue were mindful that 

although the repair method has 

been tested using the same type 

of marble, it was possible that 

the statue, which has many tiny 

fissures running through the 

stone, may react differently during 

the drilling. 

“There is still a small chance, 

in spite of our best efforts, that 

we won’t be able to complete the 

repair,” Mr Rutledge said. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said 

the statue of Scott was special, 

not only because it was carved 

by Scott’s widow, but because 

it was a “tangible link back to 

that heroic age of Antarctic 

exploration.” 

Before the earthquake, the 

statue had been a place of 

reflection for many people with 

links to Antarctica, and Ms 

Dalziel said she was looking 

forward to it being back on its 

plinth. 

“All going well, we will be 

unveiling the statue at the start 

of the 2017 Antarctic Season, in 

early October.”

David East: I was ‘persecuted’ 

City councillor 

speaks out over 

controversial 

directors’ fees 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

CITY councillor David East says 

he was “persecuted” over his 

controversial decision to keep his 

directors’ fees. 

Speaking to the media for 

the first time, Cr East told The 

Star his stand to keep more 

than $20,000 in directors’ fees 

ultimately cost 

him another term 

on Transwaste 

when he was 

re-elected late 

last year. 

Cr East (right) 

and former city 

councillor Ali 

Jones were criticised when they 

refused to donate their directors’ 

fees to charity last term, while 

others gave theirs to the Mayor’s 

Welfare Fund and Imagination 

Station. 

The fees come on top of their 

salaries, which increased to 

$100,699 last year. 

“When it came to the 

EXCLUDED: City councillor David East was a director of 

Transwaste last term, but did not regain the role. 

beginning of this term, I was 

just excluded from retaining 

that director’s position purely 

on the basis on my stand on the 

previous term,” Cr East said. 

Only Christchurch City 

Holdings councillor directors 

have to donate their fees, 

but there is no obligation for 

Transwaste. 

“They had every opportunity 

in the last few years to amend 

that and chose not to and in the 

end just chose to persecute me by 

excluding me from consideration 

and making appointments on 

a political basis and not giving 

any consideration to the skill and 

experience,” Cr East said. 

Cr East was one of four 

councillors who applied for 

the three Canterbury Regional 

Landfill Joint Committee 

positions. 

At an April meeting, Deputy 

Mayor Andrew Turner moved 

for councillors Pauline Cotter, 

Mike Davidson and Glenn 

Livingstone to be appointed 

onto it. From there a Transwaste 

director would be chosen. 

Cr East said he was uncomfortable 

about the voting process. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

apologised to Cr East and asked 

the voting be deferred. 

“I’m feeling very concerned 

about that and I would like to 

take some time to reflect on it,” 

Ms Dalziel said at the meeting. 

At a later meeting, councillors 

unanimously voted the three 

recommended councillors be 

appointed to the committee. Cr 

Aaron Keown abstained. 

Cr Turner told The Star 

Cr East wasn’t “persecuted”. 

He recommended the three 

councillors because they were 

best placed for the job and 

it linked with their council 

committees, he said. 

“The directors’ fees didn’t form 

any part of that discussion.” 

He said that was “largely 

irrelevant” as the city council 

was preparing a new policy on 

the issue, to be voted on next 

month. 

Cr East said councillor 

directors were expected to “do 

it for nothing and take all the 

liability”. 

“We have a left-leaning 

Labour-type governance 

structure in council and it’s 

their policy and that’s what I 

have to live with. It’s a crazy 

philosophy but that’s the way 

they think.” 

Wagner to 

meet with 

councillors 


NICKY WAGNER will meet with 

city councillors tomorrow, more 

than two months after she took 

over the role. 

The Minister supporting 

Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration said it would be the 

first of many official meetings 

they would have together. 

It comes after The Star reported 

city councillors were frustrated 

they hadn’t met with Minister 

supporting Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Nicky Wagner. 

They wanted to improve on 

the communication the city 

council had with Mrs Wagner’s 

predecessor Gerry Brownlee. 

Mrs Wagner said they would be 

able to ask questions and discuss 

particular issues. 

She met weekly with Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel, and spoke a lot 

with councillors, but this was 

their first official meeting, she 

said. 

Labour’s Canterbury 

spokeswoman, MP Megan 

Woods, said she was pleased 

the meeting was scheduled, but 

disappointed it had not been 

earlier.

Quake-damaged hospital 

buildings may be kept 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

EARTHQUAKE-damaged 

Christchurch Hospital buildings, 

which were set for demolition 

even before the earthquakes, 

may now be repaired and kept 

running. 

In 2009, it was announced the 

Riverside building at the hospital 

would be demolished, and the 

Parkside building refurbished. 

Now, Canterbury District 

Health Board members say the 

Government-appointed Hospital 

Redevelopment Partnership 

Group, which is responsible for 

the hospital rebuild, is looking at 

keeping most of the buildings. 

HRPG chairman Evan Davies 

would not answer questions from 

The Star about the buildings, 

referring questions to the 

Ministry of Health. 

A Ministry of Health 

spokeswoman said she could 

not answer questions about the 

future of the buildings, because a 

business case was being done but 

no decisions had been made. 

But board member Aaron 

Keown said he was told in a 

board update that the HRPG was 

looking at rebuilding half of the 

Riverside building and keeping 

the other half, and was also 

looking at repairing, rather than 

replacing Parkside. 

Both buildings were built in 

the 1980s. Mr Keown said they 

would be expensive to maintain 

and less safe than a new building, 

even with repairs. 

“Just because you repair a 

building and spend a lot of 

money it doesn’t reset the button 

on its life, because even most new 

buildings only have a 50 year lifespan,” 

he said. 

Fellow board member Andrew 

Dickerson said the ongoing 

costs of the work would fall on 

the community, yet the decision 

about the building was out of 

their hands. 

“I continue to believe that 

the CDHB should lead this, 

I believe the HRPG model is 

flawed. Because although we are 

not leading it, ultimately we are 

responsible for it, and we will 

have to deal with the results of it 

for the next 40 years,” he said. 

$25m-plus spent on 

properties for projects 


MORE THAN $25 million has 

been spent on buying properties 

for cycleways, roading projects 

and flood remediation in the last 

two years. 

Figures released under the 

Local Government Official 

Information and Meetings Act 

show since November 2015, 

the city council has bought 42 

properties and pieces of land, 

costing $25.1 million. 

Two of the latest purchases, 

finalised last month, were 

properties in Somerfield that 

needed to be bought to make 

way for the Quarryman’s Trail 

cycleway. 

The $915,000 purchase of 

the properties, on Roker and 

Barrington Sts, was contentious 

as the owners were not keen to 

sell. 

It spent just over $2 million 

buying land parcels and properties 

as part of the Northern 

Arterial project. 

They included some on 

Winters Rd, and others on 

Cranford St and Innes Rd to 

make room for Cranford St to

become four-laned as part of the 

work. 

Some properties were bought 

for flood remediation plans for 

the upper Heathcote storage 

project, the Styx stormwater 

management plan, and Bells 

Creek. 

On top of that 13 houses 

and properties were bought in 

Flockton Basin at a cost of 

$3 million. 

Some were bought so the 

property could be used for 

the Dudley Creek Flood 

Remediation Scheme. 

Seven were properties the city 

council had to buy because they 

could not be protected from 

flooding, even after the $48 

million scheme is completed. 

Two street frontages along 

Lincoln Rd were bought last 

month for its road widening 

project, costing $24,240. 

From 2011 to November 2015, 

the city council spent $65.1 

million on property purchases.

PRESENTED BY: 

Golden anniversary for jewellers 

• By Sarla Donovan 

ANDREW KELSO is fascinated 

by jewellery. 

The 45-year-old took over 

Westende Jewellers from his 

father Roger in 2013, but he’s 

worked in the business for 30 

years, starting as a youngster doing 

engraving work after school. 

He loves seeing the hallmarks 

on a ring or bracelet, telling 

where and when it was made. 

Vintage and antique pieces 

have become an increasingly 

important part of the business, a 

way to differentiate from massproduced 

chain stores. 

Westende celebrate their 50th 

anniversary this year and Mr 

Kelso says helping customers is 

still one of the most fulfilling 

parts of the business. 

“A lady we helped recently had 

developed arthritis in her hands 

and had to cut her rings off but 

they meant a lot to her, so we 

made a bangle and set her stones 

into it,” he said. 

“There’s nothing more satisfying 

than a remake; (it might 

be) helping a couple with their 

engagement or wedding bands, 

sourcing stones – just seeing a 

client’s dream become a reality.” 

Mr Kelso’s father was a police 

BLING: Andrew Kelso celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 

family-owned Westende jewellery store. 


detective in 1967 when he 

decided to buy a pawn shop and 

costume jeweller, also called 

Westende Jewellers, at 207 Manchester 

St. 

He’d married Margaret a year 

earlier and the couple, who were 

in their early 20s, weren’t keen 

on a possible transfer out of 

Christchurch. 

Roger already knew a bit 

about the business having 

visited regularly during policing 

work, so they took the plunge 

and worked long hours over the 

next few years to transform the 

pawnbrokers into a fine jewellery 

business. 

They shifted to the corner of 

Manchester and Worcester Sts 

in the 1980s. 

But, after the September 4, 

2010, earthquake, the business 

settled in Colombo St, Sydenham. 

Dealing in vintage goods 

means they have to take precautions, 

always ask for identification 

and hold the pieces for a 

period of time. 

“If there’s any reason staff 

are suspicious, they’ll let police 

know. Once we made a specific 

time for a guy selling jewellery 

to come back and the police 

were here waiting for him – took 

him away for a wee chat.” 

Fashions come and go in jewellery, 

but Mr Kelso assures me 

diamonds are still a girl’s best 

friend. 

“If it’s an engagement ring, it’s 

generally a diamond. They still 

far outsell any other gemstone. 

Sapphires would be second and 

rubies are also popular at the 

moment.” 

Family’s pet 

sheep killed 

in attack 


“THEY’RE A pack of thieving 

pigs.” 

That’s the view of angry Little 

River builder, Danny Bulman, 

who woke on Saturday to find 

three of his family’s pet sheep 

had been slaughtered for meat 

and the lambs inside them discarded 

on the ground. 

About 20 of the defenceless 

animals had been grazing in the 

stockyards next to the Banks 

Peninsula Rugby Club near the 

corner of State Highway 75 and 

Western Valley Rd. 

Mr Bulman said all three were 

pregnant with twins, so now 

not only has he lost three pets, 

he has lost six future pets as 

well. “I would love to catch the 

bastards,” Mr Bulman said. 

It’s believed that the killing 

happened over Friday night or 

early Saturday morning, police 

said. 

Senior Constable Tim 

Johnston said if anyone has any 

information they can phone 363 

7400 and ask to be put through 

to the Akaroa Police Station.

Building a safer society 

Today The Star launches 

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. Gabrielle Stuart 

reports on family harm 

IT IS not often you will see a 

police officer cry. 

But sitting in a small, 

white-painted meeting room, 

talking about the cycle of 

family harm and the passion 

he has seen his team pour into 

turning it around, Detective 

Senior Sergeant Greg Cottam 

gets misty-eyed and his voice 

becomes a bit huskier. 

“I haven’t seen a better cause in 

27 years in police than this. For 

myself and my team, everyone 

joined the police to make a 

difference, and this is what 

makes it worthwhile: Working in 

prevention,” he said. 

“I get teared-up talking about 

it, because that’s the impact this 

has.” 

The problem is nothing new: 

Over those 27 years, he has seen 

many bruises caused by family 

violence. 

In the past year alone, his 

team has dealt with 9125 family 

harm episodes in Christchurch 

– and they believe about four 

times that amount could go 

unreported. 

Each incident becomes part of 

the family violence cycle, which 

goes back decades. 

The incident. The victim. The 

perpetrator. The agencies they 

are referred to, the reports written, 

orhome 

the court appearances. The 

risk of re-offending judged and

And the children caught in the 

middle – 4596 Christchurch 

children in the past year alone. 

Detective Senior Sergeant 

Cottam said most perpetrators 

he dealt with had been victims 

in their past. Many children exposed 

to violence could grow up 

to continue it, unless something 

was done, he said. 

So how do you change a cycle? 

It was almost exactly a year 

ago, on July 4, the Integrated 

Safety Response programme 

was started as a pilot in 

Christchurch, Selwyn and the 

Waimakariri districts. 

There were three things it 

aimed to do differently. 

The first was helping families 

experiencing violence with 

the other needs and problems 

they were facing – like housing, 

finding a job, or something 

as simple as getting a driver’s 

licence.

That could remove some of 

the stress the family was under, 

making it easier for them to 

focus on addressing the violence 

and making difficult decisions 

around it. 

It could also build trust, as 

the families realised the police 

and agencies working with them 

were genuinely there to help, he 

said. 

The second was that they 

worked with the whole family – 

both victims and perpetrators – 

to help them change and develop 

strategies to stop the problems. 

The third was bringing all the 

services and agencies working 

with families together to work as 

a team. 

Every morning at 10.30, people 

from each agency involved 

gather at the police station for 

a ‘safety assessment’ meeting 

– they call it SAM – to discuss 

things that have come up over 

Greg Cottam 

Leanne 

McSkimming 

the past 24 hours. 

As well as police, the meetings 

included Ministry for Vulnerable 

Children, health, corrections 

and iwi representatives, while 

family violence services and 

several other Government 

departments were also involved 

in the network. 

For each incident, any future 

risk to the victims would be 

discussed, and a lead agency 

would be assigned to work with 

the family. 

There would usually be about 

25 cases to discuss, so the 

meetings could sometimes take 

several hours, he said. 

With everyone there at the 

meeting, they could share any 

information relevant to the case

numbers 

•9125 family violence 

episodes have been 

recorded in Christchurch in 

the past year 

•3779 of those were 

violence between partners 

•2413 were violence

between siblings 

•4596 Christchurch children 

have been involved in an 

episode in the past year 

•1574 of those children 

have been involved in more 

than one episode 

– like truancy records, previous 

convictions, a lot of previous 

injuries that might point to a history 

of violence, or work that an 

agency had done with the family 

in the past. 

He said people’s privacy was 

carefully weighed against the 

ultimate goal: To save lives and 

prevent serious harm. 

“It could be that someone 

was caught shoplifting food for 

their family, and that could be 

relevant. But if it’s not, that won’t 

be shared,” he said. 

“It’s particularly relevant in 

child abuse cases, because the 

child doesn’t have a voice.” 

Integrated Safety Response 

executive manager Leanne 

McSkimming said the help 

families needed could vary a lot. 

While some needed to go to 

a safe house, others refused to 

leave or were better off at home, 

so the goal was then to find ways 

to keep them safe there, she said. 

Some wanted to leave 

relationships, and others did not. 

“I’ve seen a lot of our high-risk 

victims immediately go back to 

the perpetrator,” she said. 

That was often because a 

couple had children together, or 

because they saw the things done 

to them as normal, she said.

‘Change one perpetrator, and how many 

victims do you prevent? If one life is saved, 

that makes it worthwhile.’ – Police 

• From page 10 

One family she had dealt with 

faced repeated violence, and were 

classed at high-risk of it happening 

again. 

“But the most stressful thing 

for them was actually housing, 

because they were homeless,” she 

said. 

Once they were in a home and 

that pressure was gone, they were 

able to focus on preventing the 

violence, she said. 

Ms McSkimming said three in 

four perpetrators in Christchurch 

were male, and 88 per cent were 

European. 

She said they were working to 

encourage people to engage with 

police, especially in ethnic communities 

and in cases of elder 

abuse, which she believed were 

under-reported. 

“The older generation had that 

attitude of we don’t talk about it, 

we don’t report it,” she said. 

The trial has been funded for 

three years until June 2019. Ms 

McSkimming said the ultimate 

successes would be difficult to 

measure: Trust built, violence 

reduced, and the long-term cycle 

of violence stopped. 

She said people they had 

worked with were more likely 

to call police themselves after 

another incident, which she considered 

a success. 

But that could mean the official 

figures around violence will be 

increasing, rather than dropping, 

over the trial. 

So to judge whether the trial 

was successful, they would look 

at statistics around convictions, 

serious injuries and deaths from 

violence, and the outcomes for 

families involved. 

For Detective Senior Sergeant 

Cottam, it was a personal experience 

early in his career that convinced 

him that the idea – working 

to prevent crime, rather than 

just respond to it – would work. 

He was interviewing a young 

woman who had been arrested 

for a string of thefts, burglaries 

and breaking into cars. 

“I sat across from her and said: 

“What do you want from your 

life?”” 

The woman said she didn’t 

want to be a criminal, and her 

goal was to get a job and have a 

family – but she couldn’t afford 

the training course she wanted to 

do, he said. 

“We spoke to WINZ and got 

her in the course. To my knowledge, 

she never offended again,” 

he said. 

He said that was not something 

that was encouraged within police 

at the time, as the focus was 

the frontline policing work. 

But the difference he was able 

to make had stayed with him. 

“To do that is personally more 

satisfying that arresting someone 

for murder, because it means 

preventing a whole lot of future 

crimes and victims. Arresting 

someone for murder does keep 

society safe, but it is almost too 

late,” he said. 

Being able to turn someone’s 

life around was the ultimate aim: 

The “nirvana”, he said. 

“Change one perpetrator, 

and how many victims do you 

prevent? If one life is saved, that 

makes it worthwhile.”

morning in March when 

Amelia’s* life changed. 

The 20-year-old was at home, 

rushing to get her daughter 

ready for kindy before she 

headed off to a course – dressed 

up especially nicely in preparation 

for job interviews. 

But when her then-boyfriend 

saw her dressed up, he ordered 

her to wash her make-up off, and 

refused to let her leave the house 

until she did. 

They were arguing in the 

kitchen, when he punched her in 

the stomach. 

“It winded me and I fell on the 

ground and he started kicking 

me,” she said. 

She had been with her boyfriend 

on and off for almost four 

years. Until then, he had threatened 

her and thrown things at 

her, but never hit her – instead 

he had punched the doors in 

their home to pieces when angry, 

she said. 

She remembered screaming 

for someone to help her as she 

lay on the floor, and hearing her 

daughter nearby screaming at 

him to stop. 

He stopped and left the room, 

and she tried to leave – but he 

followed her and tried to strangle 

her. 

She kicked him and fought 

him off, grabbed her daughter, 

and ran from the house. 

He followed them, yelling at 

her, dressed in just his pants, 

without a shirt or shoes. 

At that point the police 

arrived, called by a neighbour or 

passerby. 

If it wasn’t for the stranger 

calling police, she believed she 

would have stayed with her 

boyfriend, and would not have 

asked for help. 

Amelia had moved to 

Christchurch from the North 

Island to be with him, so was 

isolated from family and friends 

when he began to be more controlling. 

“I was getting lonely, so I 

depended a lot more on him,” 

she said. 

She made a 

statement to 

police and the 

next day was 

asked to come 

in to have 

photographs of 

her bruises 

taken. 

SUPPORT: Since Amelia was 

attacked by her ex-boyfriend 

in March, Constable Rebecca 

French has worked personally 

with her through each meeting 

and milestone. 


That was where she met Constable 

Rebecca French from the 

police family harm team. 

At the time, she didn’t want to 

talk about what happened, didn’t 

want to go into a safehouse, and 

just wanted life to go back to 

normal – but she said the police 

officers weren’t “in your face”. 

“They asked me if I needed 

help, but they wouldn’t force me 

to take it,” she said. 

Over the next few months, 

she said Constable French was 

regularly in touch. 

Amelia was struggling to pay 

rent, and she had no license to 

drive her daughter around. 

Constable French set her up 

with driving lessons through 

Operation Graduate, and helped 

with clothing for job interviews 

through charity Dress For 

Success – even coming to the 

appointment to support her and 

give fashion 

advice. 

The support helped her make 

the decision to leave her exboyfriend, 

for her own sake and 

her daughter’s, Amelia said. 

“Because the violence wasn’t 

happening to (my daughter), I 

didn’t think it affected her, but it 

does,” she said. 

She said it was important 

family, friends and neighbours 

called the police if they saw 

someone being abused – because 

she may not have asked for help 

herself. 

“People need to know there is 

only one way they’re going to get 

help: If they help themselves,” 

she said.

Ask Lianne a question 

Lianne Dalziel 

I APPRECIATE 

the opportunity 

to have a column 

in The Star. 

Although 

there are issues I would 

like to raise here, I would 

be more than happy to 

receive questions from 

readers. That way these 

columns can be relevant 

and hopefully encourage 

interest in participating in 

city council decisions. 

I wonder if people know 

that they can turn up to a 

city council meeting and 

provide a 5min presentation 

on a subject of their 

choosing. Last week, we 

had a presentation on the 

Cathedral asking us to 

consider supporting the 

restoration in line with 

the Cathedral Working 

Group’s recently released 

report. I had already asked 

staff to prepare urgent 

advice on the report, due 

to the surprise announcement 

that the decision 

about the future of the 

Cathedral would be made 

by the synod, rather than 

the Church Property Trust, 

which owns the church 

and the land. We will consider 

this advice very soon. 

I was thrilled to see that 

councillors have strongly 

endorsed the need for a 

strong working relationship 

with the new Minister 

supporting Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Nicky Wagner (The Star 

June 15). 

I’m sure readers will be 

pleased to know that the 

minister will meet the full 

city council on Friday this 

week – it has been hard 

getting diaries to align given 

the Annual Plan hearings 

and meetings. There 

are a number of items the 

minister and I could put on 

the agenda, but we want to 

give councillors the opportunity 

to raise the issues 

they want to address. 

From my perspective, 

the minister has been great 

to work with. We set the 

working style for our senior 

staff. How we build the 

city council/Crown relationship 

and shared agenda 

is important, as it signals 


the need to work together 

to get results. We have 

established weekly meetings 

with each other, joint 

monthly meetings with 

Regenerate Christchurch, 

and agreed to receive joint 

advice from city council 

staff and officials from 

the Department of Prime 

Minister and Cabinet on 

certain issues. This means 

we are aware of the range 

of advice and any differences 

that might occur 

from time to time. 

The minister and I have 

started what will be regular 

joint public engagement 

opportunities to keep 

people up-to-date with the 

rebuild (and now the regeneration 

process), as well 

as responding to questions 

people have. Although 

we will have to place joint 

meetings on hold during 

the election period, I’m 

sure you will agree that 

this is the right approach 

– central and local government 

working together.

most inspirational venues, offering luxurious 

facilities, breath-taking vistas, premier 

accommodation, superb cuisine, a championship 

golf course and a menu of adventure activities. 

Terrace Downs Resort is located in the heart 

of a high country community within an hour’s 

drive of Christchurch International Airport and 

just 30 minutes from Methven. The resort is 

internationally regarded as an ideal destination 

for weddings and conferences but is also 

exceptional for weekend retreats and special 

occasions. 

Terrace Downs has a reputation for wonderful 

Sunday buffets each week throughout the year, 

but in July the resort will also be celebrating 

mid-winter in spectacular style. With Christmas 

themed buffets on Saturday 8th July and Sunday 

9th July, guests will experience the ambience 

of winter amid the grand décor of Hunter’s 

Restaurant where twinkling lights inside are 

superbly matched by views of the magical snowcapped 

Southern Alps outside. 

Gather your family and friends to enjoy the 

warmth and charm of a Christmas inspired 

menu. A variety of elegant dishes, salads and 

fresh vegetables are complemented by festive 

favourites such as ham on the bone, roast turkey, 

beef sirloin or baked Rakaia salmon. Then 

complete your mid-winter indulgence with 

traditional pavlova, plum pudding, fresh fruit 

salad or brandy snaps. 

The food and beverage team at Terrace Downs 

Resort are renowned for flair and meticulous 

attention to detail, complemented by superb 

service that will ensure guests’ complete 

enjoyment. For the lunch-time mid-winter buffet 

or evening a la carte dining, Terrace Downs 

Resort is easily accessible from Christchurch, but 

for those who would like to extend their visit, 

Terrace Downs also offers a choice of two deluxe 

accommodation options. 

The resort’s chalets comprise beautifully 

appointed four and seven bedroom houses, while 

the villa suites are spacious and self-contained, 

range from one to three bedrooms and are 

luxuriously furnished complete with a raised spa

South Frame progress sign 

of ‘strong’ building sector 

WATER balloons, bicycles, 

poetry, pop-up tearooms – 

the opening of the Mollett St 

block of the South Frame this 

week was a real celebration. 

The area includes new 

laneways, people-friendly public 

spaces and New Zealand’s first 

‘raining poetry’ installation. 

A Promise, written by Burnside 

High School student Samantha 

Jory-Smart, is stencilled onto the 

ground using an invisible spray 

and only reveals itself when wet. 

The day was chilly but fine so 

Samantha and I had the honour 

of revealing her poem for the first 

time using watering cans. 

Matai Common – a public 

gathering space within this section 

of the frame – is connected 

to St Asaph and Tuam Sts by the 

new Te Puhoe and Sugarloaf lanes. 

With 5m-high green screens, 

plantings and seating, this area is 

set to become an inner city oasis. 

A prominent feature of the 

South Frame is the Greenway – an 

east to west pedestrian and cycling 

corridor. But don’t bike too fast 

or you’ll miss intricate features 

that make this space uniquely 

Christchurch, like the illuminated 

pounamu inserts in the paving. 

Construction is expected to be 

Nicky Wagner 

completed in 2019. Projects like 

the South Frame are contributing 

to strong ongoing building activity 

throughout the city. 

The latest Greater Christchurch 

Dashboard – Construction Activity 

focuses on residential and nonresidential 

building activity since 

the quakes. The data shows the 

value of non-residential consents 

issued in the March 2017 quarter 

was $251 million, compared to 

$180 million in the same quarter 

in 2016. The value of building 

activity in the March 2017 quarter 

was in excess of $1 billion. 

Overall, the level of construction 

activity isn’t quite what it was 

two years ago when quakerelated 

building consents were 

at their peak, but the numbers 

are still steady. Continued 

development in the central city 

and wider Christchurch area 

means economic growth and, 

importantly, jobs. 

•Nicky Wagner is Minister 

supporting Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration 

A city council cycle 

incentive trial, which 

offered free pool entry at 

Jellie Park if people cycled 

regularly, was stopped 

after too few people used 

it 

Gavin Simôn – It’s winter. 

Not a good time to cycle unless 

you are especially dedicated. 

Wait for summer for the cycle 

usage numbers to increase. 

Jillian Nuth – Our traffic 

is downright dangerous! 

It’s a great idea but with my 

experience as a pedestrian 

walking everywhere there’s just 

no way I would cycle around 

this city. 

Akio Asakura – Idealist 

idiots. People buy cars to be 

comfortable. With their own 

space, music, heater . . . etc. 

Oh we should ride bicycles! 

No. People who want to use 

trains, buses and bicycles, will. 

However, most people drive 

cars. Yet these morons keep 

taking away what cars need to 

accommodate a minority. 

Anna Henderson – I didn’t 

know about this, would have 

done it. Maybe publicise more? 

Lynn Mortlock – What a 

spectacular waste of ratepayers’ 

money . . . heads should roll. 

We need a snap election to put 

people into council that actually 

listen to what we are saying! 

City councillor Glenn 

Livingstone has called the 

$4m Memorial Ave arches 

by the airport a “waste of 

money” 

Hamish Middleton – 

They’ll last until the Alpine Fault 

pops, then people will say what 

a silly idea they were and replace 

it something worthy of the 21st 

century. I like the concept of a 

massive hologram for a fraction 

of the cost, which could be 

changed to reflect seasons, events 

and holiday periods. 

Mandy Winsloe – They 

look and feel a bit imposing 

at the moment – I’ll reserve 

judgment, they might grow on 

me. Definitely an unnecessary 

expense. 

Ruth Grey – They represent 

the Southern Alps that on 

a clear frosty winter’s day 

we could see driving down 

Memorial Ave, except we can’t 

now!! Bet they didn’t think of 

that. They’re dumb!!

Panel discussion 

Onto the work site with 

free trades training 

At just 17, Solomon Tarawa has 

lifelong skills, no student debt, 

and is saving for his first house. 

He Toki fees-free training at Ara Institute 

of Canterbury is helping young Māori in 

Christchurch and South Canterbury to turn 

their lives around. 

Prior to He Toki, Solomon had left school 

and had only occasional, casual work. Now, 

after completing his carpentry training with 

He Toki at Ara, he has just signed up to a 

carpentry apprenticeship with PJ Woods 

Builders. 

With a trade he can always support himself, 

and his future family too. Without He Toki 

he is not sure what he would be doing now. 

Solomon learned about He Toki when he 

went to talk to Ara about trades training. 

He Toki was set up after the earthquakes 

by Te Rūnanga o NgāiTahu, in partnership 

with Ara and Hawkins, to upskill Maori for 

leadership positions in construction. 

“The tutors, they help the students, and He 

Toki supports you really well financially. I 

was planning to leave at the end of stage 1, 

because I didn’t know if it was right for me, 

but I stayed on, and to come out and get a 

job is so satisfying,” he said. 

Solomon went on to complete all three 

stages of training for the NZ Certificate 

in Carpentry. The He Toki programme 

incorporates work placements, and Solomon 

completed his placement with PJ Woods, 

which then led him to a fulltime job. He 

Toki maintains strong links with industry 

employers, who support the programme. 

“The course helps because that’s what bosses 

are looking for – the knowledge and skills 

for the worksite.” 

The initiative incorporates a “Work 

Readiness Passport” designed by employers 

so that students know what to expect at 

work. “The site safe card, you definitely need 

one to get on site, and the licences to use the 

power tools means you are not just going 

out and it’s the first time you use the tool,” 

he said. 

“He Toki was a really good programme and 

it definitely did help me out a lot.” 

Since being established in 2011, He Toki 

has expanded beyond trades into new areas 

such as cookery, horticulture, health and 

wellbeing.

Rebecca Moore – I actually 

think they look great, but hey 

can’t please everyone – there are 

negative people out there who 

will complain about anything. 

Nicolas Christopher Pegg 

– Let’s see how they perform in 

an earthquake and 400 tonnes 

of steel comes crashing down on 

State Highway 1 blocking access 

to the airport. Who paid for 

this? With all the other urgent 

infrastructure work that needs 

doing it staggers me that this 

frippery got the go ahead. Clearly 

decision-makers are living in a 

cosy bubble so far removed from 

reality they can no longer be 

trusted to make decisions in the 

best interests of the community. 

Nicki Cartlidge – At the 

moment I’m indifferent to how 

they look (too busy to see while 

getting cut up by lousy drivers 

negotiating SH1 roadworks!) 

Surely they weren’t a priority or 

had the greatest benefit v cost 

compared to other things the 

money could have been used for. 

Tourists may think they look 

impressive, but a functioning 

rebuilt city has much more to 

offer tourists than this. 

Heather Wilkins – Wasn’t 

the arches part of the original 

plan for the bridge about three or 

four years ago and the councillor 

only mentions it at almost the 

completion? Think it will look 

nice. 

Mike Dixon – From my 

work at Jucy Snooze we get an 

awesome view of the work going 

on with the arches and have a 

lot of our guests commenting on 

how impressive it looks. 

The New Brighton 

Community Fridge and 

Pantry opened this week, 

stocked with donated food

Kat Tuhua – Congratulations 

New Brighton you guys rock. 

Hope to see other areas of need 

using this kind of initiative in the 

future.

Staff at The Prebbleton Cafe 

were left “shell-shocked” 

after eggs were stolen from 

the shop and smashed over

Nathan Beale – Someone

kind of person – whites. Sorry 

couldn’t resist! 

Renèe Omand – How fowl!

Reopening old wounds 

THE RELEASE of the 

Ombudsman’s report 

on the Ministry of 

Education’s handling 

of Canterbury 

school mergers and 

closures after the February 

2011 earthquakes last week 

reopened old wounds for many 

in Canterbury. 

The Chief Ombudsman Judge 

Peter Boshier described a process 

with an “atmosphere of mistrust 

and defensiveness” that we 

remember only too well. 

The most alarming part of the 

report for me is that “student 

well-being and mental health 

was not regarded as a persuasive 

factor” as decisions were made 

whether or not to close schools. 

The reality is that seven years 

on from the quakes, we’re seeing 

the fallout of the bureaucratic 

process that was badly bungled 

by the Government. 

The Ombudsman notes that 

“the impact of the trauma 

caused by the earthquakes and 

the ensuing social upheaval on 

young children’s learning and 

behaviour is becoming more 

evident as time passes.” 

I recall the shock and disbelief 

felt by locals in Hornby and 

Hillmorton as Branston 

and Manning Intermediates 

were closed. People simply 

didn’t understand why it was 

happening. 

While today we have fantastic 

new opportunities for children 

in these communities, this 

doesn’t excuse the way these 

communities were dealt to. 

At the time we argued that 

decisions around closures and 

mergers were too soon. 

It gives me no comfort to now 

see how we could have benefitted 

from waiting to see what the 

shape of our city would be. 

Many Christchurch schools 

are already at overcapacity. 

Rushing the process was a lost 

opportunity. 

The report makes the point 

that the ministry has learned 

from this experiment. 

In the wake of the report the 

bureaucrats have apologised, 

however, I am a firm believer 

that the buck stops with those 

at the top. Senior members of 

the National Government need 

to front up to the people of 

Christchurch and apologise for 

an appalling process that has left 

deep scars.

Te Kura Tuarua o Horomaka 

Hillmorton High School 

Students’ ‘open’ attitude 

sets them in good stead 

Currently our Board of 

Trustees is reviewing 

our strategic direction. 

As part of this and 

our involvement in 

Positive Behaviour 

for Learning (PB4L) 

we are assessing our 

current school values 

by considering what 

qualities we are looking 

for in our students 

and staff. Some of this 

work was done last 

year as we completed 

our Education Brief for 

the Canterbury Schools Rebuild 

programme. Students on the 

Ann 

Brokenshire 

Senior School Council 

told us that the most 

notable quality our 

students develop at 

Hillmorton is that they 

are “open”. What a 

marvellous quality to 

have. People who are 

“open” (open to learn, 

open to new ideas, 

open to other ways of 

thinking and doing…) 

are sought after by 

employers in futurefocused 

areas. 

According to the 

Forbes magazine the most 

important qualities employers 

Composer’s work has first airing 

www.hillmorton.school.nz 

seek are basic team work, 

problem solving, the ability to plan 

and prioritise, and the ability to 

communicate verbally. 

Hillmorton students being “open” 

gives them a great platform 

on which to build those other 

desirable qualities. I am convinced 

that our focus on embracing 

difference and community within 

our diverse student population 

ensures that our students are 

well placed to live and work in a 

diverse and rapidly changing world. 

They are set to help “create better 

futures” for us all. 

Ann Brokenshire 

PRINCIPAL 

Performers tackle big issues 

With a theme “Behind Closed 

Doors, #ourfight4purpose”, 

Hillmorton Stage Challenge 

students chose to explore some 

hard-hitting social issues about 

what some people go through 

“behind closed doors” on a dayto-day 

basis: family pressures, 

loneliness, healthy and unhealthy 

relationships, and alcohol use 

and/or abuse. 

Their performance provided 

solutions by working together and 

communicating to help each other 

as a community to overcome 

these issues and get them out 

from behind closed doors. 

Awards of Excellence for 

Soundtrack, Choreography, Stage 

Use, Performance Skill and Visual 

Enhancement were received and 

the team can be justifiably proud 

of their efforts. 

Equally, our Year 7 and 8 

students can be proud of their 

performances on stage that same 

night and again, they received a 

number of awards! 

Both these events involve large 

teams of students – performers, 

back stage team, student leaders 

and of course staff who work in 

support. We are really proud of 

you all! 

Kurumi Mori is a talented musician and 

Year 12 international student studying 

at Hillmorton who is venturing into 

composition! 

She has been working on a composition for 

French horn and piano which recently got its 

first airing. 

Mr Antonio Dimitrov, a member of the 

Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and an 

itinerant brass teacher at HIllmorton, played 

Kurumi’s piece for the first time rehearsing 

with Kurumi accompanying him. 

Mr Dimitrov said the piece was excellent and 

he was most impressed. 

It’s not every day that you get to have a 

professional musician play your composition!

teacher Antonio Dimitrov.

AVAU FILIMAUA 

Blindside Flanker/Number Eight 

OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF 

Avau Filimaua, Year 9 at Hillmorton, is one of the talented and 

passionate young rugby players competing in the UC Cup who 

the University of Canterbury is proud to back. With its partners, 

the BNZ Crusaders, it is supporting up-and-coming leaders on the 

field, who also excel in the classroom and contribute to their local 

community. 

Students dig in for the 

greater good at quarry 

For the second 

year running, Year 

9 students recently 

took time out to 

undertake some 

social action at 

Halswell Quarry. 

Supervised by 

the park rangers, 

this year they 

successfully got 

more than 400 

plants in the 

ground. 

The “Big Day 

Out” – one of our 

cross-curricular 

learning episodes 

in the Middle 

School (Years 

7 – 10) coincides 

with Arbor Day and 

Matariki.

GREAT food 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... 

Your fresh food people 

Slow-cooked 

beef cheek 

(Serves 4 ) 

Beef cheeks naturally 

contain a lot of collagen 

which, when cooked long 

and slow, converts into a 

luscious rich texture. The 

cheeks will be extra tender 

and flavoursome if prepared 

a day in advance and will 

taste even better. 

Ingredients 

6 cups Beef stock 

3 Tbsp Rice bran oil 

½ cup Carrot, diced 

½ cup Onion, diced 

½ cup Celery, diced 

3 Garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 

1 Tbsp Tomato paste 

2 cups Red wine 

1 Bay leaf 

4 sprigs Fresh thyme 

1 sprig Fresh rosemary, small 

1.2 kgs Beef cheeks, 1 cheek per 

serve 

1 tsp Salt 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 140 deg C. 

Bring the beef stock to the 

boil. Heat the oil and fry the 

vegetables, garlic and tomato 

paste for 10 minutes to lightly 

caramelise. Turn the heat up 

to high, add the red wine and 

reduce by half. 

Season the beef cheeks with 

salt and pepper then place them 

in an ovenproof casserole (or 

use a slow cooker). Add in the 

reduced wine and vegetables. 

Add the herbs and cover with 

beef stock. 

Cover with a tight-fitting 

lid and cook in the oven for 3 

hours. 

To make the glazing sauce, 

strain off half the cooking juices 

into a saucepan, bring this to the 

boil and reduce until thick and 

syrupy. 

To serve, gently reheat the 

cheeks in the remaining cooking 

juices. When hot, carefully lift 

them out and place them into 

the glazing sauce. Smother with 

sauce and serve with creamy 

potato mash and a warm salad 

of greens (I have steamed 

brussels sprout leaves, peas, and 

broad beans, then tossed them 

with a little olive oil and sea salt 

flakes). 

Mu shu pork 

(Serves 4 ) 

Ingredients 

4 Chinese mushrooms, dried 

(available from Asian food 

stores) 

5 Tbsp Vegetable oil 

300g Baby lettuce leaves, thinly 

sliced 

3 Eggs, lightly beaten with a 

pinch salt 

½ cup Spring onion, sliced, cut 

on an angle 

2 tsp Fresh ginger, cut into 

matchsticks 

200g Chinese greens, cut into 5 

cm lenghts 

1 Tbsp Hoisin sauce 

2 Tbsp Soy sauce 

1 to taste Salt 

1 Tbsp Rice wine, or sherry 

Pork seasoning 

1 Tbsp Soy sauce 

1 tsp Sherry, or rice wine 

½ tsp Garlic, crushed 

1 tsp Cornflour 

Directions 

Soak the mushrooms in warm 

water for 15 minutes until soft. 

Cut away the stalks then thinly 

slice into strips. 

Mix all the pork seasoning 

ingredients together, then stir 

through the sliced pork. 

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok 

until it begins to smoke. Add the 

beaten eggs and slowly stir to 

scramble. Remove from the wok 

and reserve. 

Heat the remaining oil in 

a wok. Add spring onion 

and ginger before adding the 

seasoned pork. Quickly stir-fry 

for several minutes until the 

pork is just cooked. 

Add mushrooms, bamboo 

shoots and greens. Stir fry for 

2 minutes before adding the 

hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice 

wine or sherry, and a pinch of 

salt. Toss well before returning 

eggs to the wok to reheat. Serve 

immediately.

SIGNAL ICT GRAD SCHOOL 

Tech needs met with new 

SIGNAL programme 

If you watched What Next? on TV One 

recently, you will be aware how quickly NZ 

is being impacted by emerging technologies. 

Tech roles exist in nearly all industries 

now, from agriculture to zoology, and huge 

growth in the already significant tech sector 

in Canterbury is predicted by the Canterbury 

Development Corporation. 

To fuel this growth, we need more trained 

tech people. SIGNAL is working with 

industry to help meet this need via Shift, an 

innovative industry-driven tech programme 

for those who are seeking a new career path, 

but who do not have an IT background. This 

intensive 9 month programme is open to 

degree holders in any discipline, from NZ or 

off-shore - in fact, diversity is welcomed! 

There are a number of tech jobs in NZ 

and they cover a varied skill set. You can 

focus on software design 

and development or you 

could concentrate on other 

high demand skills, such 

as project management, 

product testing, user 

experience, business 

analysis, technical writing. 

The Shift programme uses 

immersive studio-based 

learning and real-world 

experience via industry 

projects and placements 

to produce graduates with 

well-rounded technical and 

communication skills, able 

to work with any team within 

the exciting tech sector. 

“The first half of the Shift program has 

succeeded in delivering to my expectations - I 

have enjoyed learning introductory tech skills 

such as programming, web development, 

databases and user experience. The project 

work has provided real-life examples of how 

these skills could be applied and required 

our group to work together to achieve the 

desired result.” Qualified geologist and Shift 

learner Isaac Burwell. 

Limited space are available for the 

Christchurch Shift programme starting on 

July 24 and there are scholarships available 

too. 

To find out more about the Shift 

programme, call SIGNAL today on 0800 

990024 and start your shift into NZ’s fastest 

growing sector.

Travel 

Green behind the Gold 

• By Mike Yardley 

BEYOND THE beach of Surfers 

Paradise, the Gold Coast 

hinterland abounds with soft 

adventure pursuits. 

It’s the green behind the gold, 

a lush high country wonderland 

of rainforests, waterfalls and 

characterful mountain villages. 

Just 40 minutes from the bikinis 

and the breakers, I journeyed to 

the green-drenched embrace of 

Tamborine Mountain with Scenic 

Hinterland Day Tours. 

It’s the most northern section of 

the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest 

volcanic caldera, a vast green 

eroded cauldron sprawling for 

40km as far as Byron Bay. 

Our first stop was Curtis Falls 

Walk, which like many trails 

across Tamborine Mountain, is 

short and stress-free. 

An unexpected frisson heralded 

our arrival, as an enormous 

flooded gum tree cracked and 

crashed down to the forest floor. 

The noise was horrific. 

Drama over, a quick 10 minute 

stroll through lush rainforest 

brought us to Curtis Falls, which 

flows into Cedar Creek. This 

is a spring fed waterfall, with 

a Disney-like drop into a rock 

pool, before tumbling over basalt 

boulders. 

We also took in the Tamborine 

Rainforest Skywalk, which is 

another effortless way to soak 

up the forest finery. Elevated 

steel walkways zip you through 

the upper canopy of the forest, 

combined with easy trails through 

the forest floor. The highlight 

is the 40m long cantilever that 

juts out and wobbles, 30m above 

Cedar Creek and the forest. 

All over Tamborine Mountain 

nature is locked in a tug of war 

between the giant flooded gum 

trees of the Eucalypt forest and the 

sub-tropical rainforest. 

Tamborine is home to 

6000 residents, the mountain 

community’s long driveways 

and grand, stately gates are a 

recurring theme. There’s some 

serious wealth up here, with a 

glorious lifestyle. 

The tourist hub of Gallery 

Walk lures the hordes with its 

abundance of craft shops, art 

galleries, superb boutique wineries 

and eateries. It’s also home to a 

swag of woo-woo new age healers. 

Psychic healing, anyone? 

We also ventured to Springbrook 

Mountain, the tallest peak in the 

hinterland, topping out at 1000m. 

Highlights included in Purling 

Brook Falls, a staggering spectacle 

of rainforest, cascading water and 

canyon-like cliffs, flaunting their 

volcanic hues. 

As the name would suggest, 

Best of All Lookout is the granddaddy 

of all views, serving up

Gardening 

Wonderful 

winter 

violas 


.kiwi 


WE’RE ON a colour buzz at the 

nursery this winter. Last month, I 

wrote about adding colour to your 

winter garden with the three Ps – 

polyanthus, primula and pansy. 

Now, I’m going to recommend 

you add even more colour by 

planting violas. 

We have several different 

coloured violas available to order. 

Two straight colours – apricot and 

blue. 

And two mixed bundles of 

colours – the penny citrus mix, 

which has yellow, apricot and 

white flowers. 

And viola-mixed colours, which 

includes white, yellow, purple and 

more. 

You can order your plants from 

our recently re-launched online 

store at www.awapuni.co.nz. Buy 

online and you’ll also be able to 

earn loyalty points to put towards 

free seedling bundles. 

Next you need to find somewhere 

to plant. I recommend 

looking for wide, open spaces. 

Violas grow really well alongside 

paving or patios. They also look 

fantastic in borders around spring 

bulbs or roses – particularly as 

the roses go dormant and lose 

their leaves. 

And if you’re a hanging basket 

fan (like I am), use violas to 

create a welcoming entrance at 

your place throughout the cooler 

months. You can also pop them 

in a pot – in fact they look great 

planted around the outside of potted 

shrubs or citrus trees. 

Wherever you decide to plant, 

simply dig in a balanced fertiliser, 

then plant your seedlings in small 

holes, about 20cm apart. 

If growing them in a pot, make 

sure you use a good potting mix 

to provide all the nutrients they 

need. 

Try not to position any pots under 

the eaves of your house. Violas 

like good air circulation and 

keeping them away from these 

types of spots will help prevent 

them getting downy mildew. 

In about four to six weeks, you 

should have even more colour in 

your garden. Remember to pick 

off the dead heads to encourage 

them to flower, and you’ll get to 

enjoy the effect for much, much 

longer.

Plant now for strawberries 

EVEN THOUGH this winter 

has been pretty mild so far, it 

still seems odd to be thinking 

about such a summery fruit as 

strawberries just yet. But if you 

want to enjoy the fruits of your 

labour at Christmas now is the 

time to plant strawberries. 

I love the fact strawberries 

will grow just about anywhere. 

Google strawberry planters and 

you will find an array of creative 

places for growing this tasty 

fruit. 

Cut off drain pipes, wooden 

pyramids, garden beds, pots, 

the list goes on. 

I like to grow strawberries 

in a raised garden bed. But I’m 

also a fan of planting them in 

a paradise planter or hanging 

basket. 

As long as they can see the 

sun, and where you’re planting 

is well-drained and not prone 

to frost, you can expect healthygrowing 

plants that produce lots 

of fruit. When you’ve found just 

the right spot or spots, prepare 

the soil by digging in a general 

fertiliser that’s rich in potassium 

– this will help stimulate plant 

growth and big, juicy fruit. 

If you’re planting in a pot 

or hanging basket, use a good 

potting mix and for an extra 

boost apply a liquid fertiliser to 

the mix. 

You can order your 

strawberry plants from www. 

awapuni.co.nz. 

Each regular-sized bundle 

has around four plants which 

should produce between 60-100 

strawberries come Christmas. 

If you’re planting in a paradise 

planter you’ll need 32 seedlings 

to fill each hole. 

Before planting in the garden 

raise your bed by mounding 

the soil. This will encourage 

circulation, drainage and can 

add depth to shallow soil. 

Plant your seedlings around 

the edges of your garden or pots 

to encourage the strawberries to 

hang over the sides and prevent 

the fruit from touching the 

ground and rotting. 

Dig a hole 10cm deep and 

place the seedling inside. A deep 

hole is required to give the roots 

plenty of room to spread out 

and grow but be careful not to 

bury the plant. 

Pack the soil firmly around 

each seedling and surround 

with peastraw or newspaper to 

help keep away weeds. 

Place netting or wire over 

you plants when they begin to 

produce fruit. 

This will block out birds 

and ensure you get to eat the 

strawberries yourself. 

In spring, add another dose 

of general fertiliser to your 

strawberries to encourage 

sturdier plants that are more 

disease resistant heading in to 

the warmer months.

PRESENTED BY: 

Late bloomer tackles big role 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

TOM TREVELLA was a 

late bloomer when it came to 

securing his first professional 

gig as an artist on stage. 

Trevella, 46, spent his earlier 

years travelling the world. 

It wasn’t until the Lyttelton 

resident returned to the city in 

his 30s that he met director/ 

actor Derek Doddington and his 

theatre career began to blossom. 

When Doddington founded 

Top Dog Theatre in 2003, 

Trevella was one of the first 

performers to jump on 

board by starring in Steven 

Berkoff’s gritty drama West. 

It was at Top Dog that Trevella 

was spotted by The Court 

Theatre’s artistic director Ross 

Gumbley, who gave him his first 

professional role in the original 

play Happy Coupling in 2006. 

“During my 20s, I did a lot of 

travelling and got life experience 

in a way and was able to bring 

that into theatre . . . it is not 

something I had a concentrated 

effort to do, I just sort of fell into 

it,” he said. 

More than a decade on, after 

establishing himself as a regular 

in the city’s art scene, he will 

feature in Top Dog’s latest 

comedy Up ‘N’ Under by John 

Godber. 

Trevella will play the role of 

ex-professional rugby league 

player Arthur who bets his life 

savings he can train a team to 

beat the undefeated ‘Wheatsheaf 

Arms’. 

He said the show is almost a 

re-staging of Sylvester Stallone’s 

movie Rocky – but told through 

rugby league. 

Trevella was also one of

the first on the scene when 

the Loons Theatre Trust, now 

the Lyttelton Arts Factory, 

was established in 2007. He 

still performs with the theatre 

company. 

He appeared in its first 

production of The Butler by Joe 

Bennett, which ended up touring 

in Islington, London, for 

three weeks. 

Since the February 2011 

earthquake, Trevella has 

seen great changes in the 

Lyttelton Arts Factory with 

the establishment of its new 

building on 1 Sumner Rd. 

Trevella is one of a limited 

number in the city who have 

managed to make theatre their 

main profession. 

“I don’t have an expensive 

house, dog, car, partner or 

children . . . those are the sort 

of things a theatre career can’t 

support,” he said. 

When he returned home from 

his travels, Trevella spent several 

years working in varied jobs in 

the city before he got his first 

professional gig. 

This included driving trams, 

working at the Christchurch Art 

Gallery and selling swimming 

pool chemicals. 

Trevella said a highlight of 

his travels was living in New 

York city for two years, where 

he learned he is the smallest of 

the small, a lesson which gave 

him the licence to be whoever he 

wanted to be. 

•Up ‘N’ Under will run at 

the Lyttelton Arts Factory 

from July 12-22. To book 

tickets, go to http://

for women in theatre to discuss 

issues faced within its industry 

and how they can make a difference 

together. It will discuss the 

need for more female directors, 

writers, performers, producers, 

board members and back-stage 

in the city. The gathering is to be 

held on Sunday, 6.30pm at the

Bowers Builders 

Renovations and house levelling has 

long been a speciality of Bowers Builders. 

Their team of five builders has 90 years 

of collective experience in the industry, 

with owners Johnnie and Amanda directly 

involved in the management of every 

project. 

“We will take on the jobs that are outside 

the box – nothing is too hard,” say Amanda, 

who meets all new clients with Johnnie to 

talk over their specific building situation. 

“Once we start work on the job our client’s 

hardest decision should just be choosing the 

paint colour.” 

Clear and honest communication is 

integral to their business, with all work 

completed to a very high standard that will 

last over time. From a new garage floor that 

is complicated due to land conditions, an 

almost complete renovation of an inner city 

cottage, to demanding hill sites that require 

helicopter access, Amanda and Johnnie 

work together to come up with a realistic 

solution for all involved. 

They are well used to working with a 

range of agencies and specialists such as 

structural and geotechnical engineers, and 

have reliable sub-contractors to complete 

any electrical, plumbing, complex brick 

work and roofing work. 

“We say that anything can be done – some 

things just take longer than others,” says 

Amanda.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


Regular oil changes important 

for engine maintenance 

Tony Wessels and his team of qualified 

technicians at Diesel Doctor in Addington 

specialise in servicing all types of latemodel 

vehicles. However, Tony says that 

over recent years they have been finding 

more and more vehicles are not being 

serviced as regularly as they should be. 

“Vehicle manufacturers are giving 

longer service periods, and people don’t 

understand why they need to have the oil 

changed regularly,” Tony says. 

“Changing the oil and filter cleans out 

impurities before they start doing damage 

to the engine.” 

That’s just one of the many reasons why 

changing your oil regularly is much better 

for your engine than leaving it too long, 

and motorists should do so more regularly, 

in spite of what manufacturers suggest, 

Tony advises. 

As he points out: “The oil is really the 

lifeblood of the engine. 

“We have been seeing major engine 

failures because of poor maintenance. The 

newer engines have a finer tolerance so 

there is potentially more chance of major 

damage occurring than with older vehicles.” 

The cost of changing the oil can be another 

factor for owners, with manufacturers 

recommending synthetic oil, which is quite 

expensive. 

But as Tony points out: “In some cases, 

a good-quality mineral oil may be of more 

benefit.” 

To enquire about regular servicing 

for your diesel or petrol vehicle, contact 

Tony at Diesel Doctor, phone 338 8884, 

or call into 288 Lincoln Road, Addington, 

where there is plenty of off-street parking 

available. 

The oil is really the 

lifeblood of the engine.

SPORTS SEDANS – I love 

them. 

I grew up in an age 

where strong engines in a 

sedan body shell were all 

the rage, and I’ve never lost 

faith in the concept. 

Well, as current trends 

are serving to prove, sedans 

are hard to sell in an age 

where sport utility vehicles 

command market share, 

but it’s good to know there 

are still a few high performance 

four-doors available 

to satisfy us die-hards. 

I’ve been lucky in recent 

months, I’ve driven a lot of 

premium sedans – Lexus 

IS200t, BMW 5-series and 

Mercedes-Benz C-Class. 

The latest to come my way 

was also from Germany, an 

Audi S4, a car which definitely 

fits into the sports 

sedan category. 

As its badge would suggest, 

it is a car based on the 

A4; essentially it is an A4 

but for the elements which 

enhance performance and 

provide a sportier look. 

It must be remembered 

the S4 doesn’t have all the 

performance potential of 

its RS4 stablemate, that car 

is the bee’s knees in terms 

of outright performance, 

but the S4 sits snugly in 

the line-up and is more 

a gentle performance 

car, although one which 

delights in all aspects. 

Under the bonnet sits 

a 3-litre V6 engine, it is 

turbocharged and is rated 

at 260kW with 500Nm 

of torque available all of 

the way from 1370rpm to 

4500rpm. 

The latter figures are 

responsible for a strong 

solid surge of boost all 

through the rev band. The 

S4 is quick under acceleration, 

feed some power in 

from standstill and it will 

lunge to 100km/h in 4.7sec. 

It is also capable of a 3.9sec 

overtaking time (80km/h 

to 120km/h) and will top 

end at 250km/h where laws 

allow. 

The feel of power and 

urgency from the quadcamshaft, 

32-valve engine 

is delightful, and can be 

manufactured to produce 

AUDI S4: The bee’s knees in performance. 

some amazing sound. In 

standard mode the engine 

is quiet and subdued, as 

you would expect from 

the modern V6, but if you 

select one of the dynamic/ 

sport engine management 

protocols, the engine delivers 

a howl like no other, it’s 

not a thumping roar that 

you get from the V8 but 

instead it is a wail sounding 

much like a soprano 

on steroids. There is also a 

bark out of the exhausts on 

both up and downshifts. 

• Price – Audi S4, 

$116,400 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4726mm; 

width, 1842mm; 

height, 1427mm 

• Configuration – V6, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2995cc, 260kW, 

500Nm, eight-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.7sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.4l/100km 

Drive is channelled 

through an eight-speed 

automatic transmission 

which changes ratios 

quickly and smoothly, 

power is then channelled to 

a Quattro four-wheel-drive 

system. Grip is spectacular, 

not just the composure it 

gets in loose surface environments 

but on the seal, 

there is a strong feeling of 

solidity, it feels tied to the 

road and steers directly. 

The S4 is not structured 

with suspension elements 

too firm for comfort. In 

fact, I was a little surprised 

that the ride is biased 

towards soft yet handling 

PLUSH: 

The S4’s 

interior 

is full of 

technology. 

isn’t compromised greatly. 

There’s a little bit of body 

movement in a corner, but 

such is the quality of the 

fully independent suspension 

that it transitions 

through a corner with full 

balance and composure. 

I took the test car west 

through to Terrace Downs, 

on those lovely long flowing 

corners it provides a 

true touring car feel, in the 

tight stuff it thrills with its 

steering feel and punch out 

of a corner, the power and 

handling are well matched. 

During the four days 

with the S4 it constantly 

surprised, although not so 

much with its performance, 

I expected it to be thrilling, 

and I wasn’t disappointed. 

However, it also returned 

respectable fuel usage statistics, 

the trip computer 

was constantly listing a 

9l/100km (31mpg) average 

along with a 7l/100km 

(40mpg) instantaneous 

figure on a 100km/h open 

road cruise, the engine 

turning over slowly at just 

1600rpm. 

These figures sit well 

with Audi’s combined 

cycle average claim of 

7.4l/100km (38mpg). 

At $116,400 the S4 

doesn’t come at a budget 

price, but there’s a lot of kit 

in the car, along with the 

ingredients which make it 

angry or subdued, there’s 

a classy in-cabin environment 

with all of the gear 

you’d expect from a premium 

car. I especially like 

the display graphics with 

the sat nav map directly in 

the driver’s eye-line. There’s 

also head-up display. 

Audi is the quiet achiever 

in the premium market, 

its product is based on 

traditional values yet the 

vehicles have kept pace 

with modern expectation, 

and the product line-up is 

extensive. 

For a buyer who likes just 

that little bit of excitement 

in a purchase, the S4 satisfies 

with its honesty and 

perfection.

In Brief 

YOUNG BASKETBALLERS 

PICKED IN NZ SQUAD 

Four Canterbury basketballers 

will represent New Zealand at 

next month’s under-17 FIBA 

Oceania Championships 

in Guam. Tsubasa Nisbet, 

Burnside High School, Charlotte 

Whittaker, St Andrew’s College, 

Amiee Book, Middleton Grange, 

and Lauryn Hippolite, Middleton 

Grange, have been named in 

the 12-strong squad, making 

Canterbury the most represented 

region in the country. They will 

look to finish in the top two to 

qualify for the FIBA Asia agegroup 

championships. The team 

will then have to finish in the top 

four in that tournament to qualify 

for the under-19 FIBA World Cup. 

HAMBLETT BACK TO US 

Promising footballer Johanna 

Hamblett, 21, will join Colorado 

College for the upcoming United 

States college season after a brief 

return to Christchurch to play 

for Cashmere Technical. The 

midfielder spent last year at Mississippi 

State University, where she 

started in 18 games. Before moving 

to the US, she was part of the 

Mainland Pride team which won 

the National Women’s League 

in 2013 and 2014. Hamblett is 

expected to debut for Colorado in 

August. 

Teacher, student – teammates 

Classroom 

to the 

football pitch 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ON MOST days Mikaele 

Rabuka knows Jacob Allen as 

Mr Allen – but on Saturday he 

was his partner in midfield. 

Rabuka, 15, made his first 

team debut off the bench during 

Ferrymead Bays 4-3 penalty 

shoot-out win over Western in 

the English Cup semi-final. 

When the Fijian entered the 

field with 15min left in normal 

time, a familiar face welcomed 

him on the pitch. He slotted in 

next to Allen in midfield, one of 

his teachers and football coach 

at St Thomas’ of Canterbury 

College. 

“I was pretty nervous before 

the game, and to be honest, 

I didn’t think I would get to 

play because I started on the 

bench and we were losing,” said 

Rabuka. 

On the eve of the semi-final, 

Rabuka received a message from 

Allen asking if he would be keen 

on a run with the first team. 

Bays were missing a couple of 

CLASSROOM: Jacob Allen (left) and Mikaele Rabuka 

have gone from teacher and student to Ferrymead Bays 

teammates. 


regulars, forcing coach Danny 

Halligan to call up a number of 

players from the reserve team. 

Not knowing too much about 

Rabuka, he called Allen who 

had nothing but praise for the 

teenager. 

“Our coach Danny said after 

the game that (Rabuka) was 

referring to me as Mr Allen 

while he was on the bench. I 

was actually hoping he’d call me 

sir every time he passed me the 

ball,” Allen joked. 

“It was a strange experience at 

first, but he deserved to be there. 

He’s a quality young player.” 

When Rabuka entered the 

game, Bays trailed 0-2 before 

two late goals forced the match 

into extra-time. 

“He ended up on the wing in 

extra-time and even managed to 

make a couple of guys look silly 

which was great,” said Allen. 

The game went to penalties, 

with both teacher and student 

managing to avoid a walk to the 

penalty spot. 

“The coach asked me if I 

wanted to take one but I wasn’t 

really keen,” said Rabuka. 

With some first team regulars 

expected back this week, Rabuka 

may not get to play much of 

a part in Bays’ push for the 

Mainland Premier League and 

English Cup titles. At just 15, 

though, there’s no doubt he can 

become a regular in time. 

Rabuka and Allen now turn 

their attention to the St Thomas 

team and their bid to push for 

a play-off spot in the Connetics 

Premier 1st XI competition and 

a spot at the national schools 

tournament in September.



Otago coach mulls over plans for the future 

• By Adrian Seconi 

OTAGO COACH Cory Brown 

is back from Georgia with a gold 

medal and perhaps the ambition 

to join the Highlanders coaching 

staff. 

Brown was defensive coach for 

the successful New Zealand side 

which demolished England 64- 

17 in the final of World Rugby’s 

Under-20 Championship. 

While he was helping the 

‘Baby Blacks’ hone their defensive 

strategies, there were some 

changes back home in Dunedin. 

Highlanders assistant coach 

Scott McLeod was named as the 

defence coach for the All Blacks 

and will leave the Dunedinbased 

franchise at the end of the 

season. 

With Cory’s brother, Highlanders 

head coach Tony Brown, 

also leaving the Highlanders at 

the end of the season, there are 

vacancies. 

Aaron Mauger or Mark Hammett 

will take over as the new 

head coach, but the team will 

need a defensive guru. Highlanders 

scrum coach Clarke 

Dermody and skills coach Jon 

Preston are in the mix. But Cory 

Brown is developing an impressive 

resume. 

He was non-committal when 

asked if he would apply for the 

role, but does harbour the ambition 

to coach at the highest level. 

‘’We sort of just got back and 

I haven’t been approached by 

Value Cars

32 Moorhouse Ave | 03 366 7768 

them. But I’ll think about it and 

see if I will put my name in the 

hat or not.’’ 

Brown said, as a player, he 

wanted to get to the highest level 

and ‘’as a coach I’m exactly the 

same’’. 

‘’Whether I’m ready, I’m not 

too sure. That is not up to me.’’ 

Brown’s stint with the New 

Zealand under-20 side has 

certainly helped enhanced his 

reputation and value as a coach. 

He had the opportunity to 

The biggest range of vehicles in one location 

forge some strong relationships 

and that could pay dividends for 

Otago. 

‘’I don’t know if we can say that 

on record,’’ he said with a laugh 

when asked if he was bringing 

any of the players south with 

him. 

‘’Some of them were from 

Otago, so hopefully there might 

be an opportunity for some of 

them down here and they could 

come and play for Otago.’’

Warriors draw confirmed for final six rounds 

THE WARRIORS will host two 

Friday night NRL games against 

Penrith and defending premiers 

Cronulla and meet both 

Canberra and Manly on Sunday 

afternoons in their last four 

regular season home matches. 

Full details for the final six 

rounds of the NRL season were 

released this week, with the 

Warriors locked in to play at 

Mt Smart Stadium against the 

Panthers on July 14 and the

reported. Stephen Kearney’s 

side will then play their last two 

home games against the Raiders 

on August 13 and Sea Eagles on 

August 27. 

In between, the Warriors will 

head across the Tasman for away 

games against North Queensland 

in Townsville on July 22, Newcastle 

on August 5, and South 

Sydney on August 18, before a 

round 26 clash against Wests 

Tigers at Leichardt Oval on September 

3. 

The Warriors are now sitting 

in 10th position – just two points 

outside the top eight, after grinding 

their way to a 21-14 win over 

the Bulldogs in Auckland last 

Friday. 

They will look to make it three 

in a row against Manly at Perth’s

Christchurch auctioneer announced REINZ National 

Real Estate Auctioneering Champion for 2017 

The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) 

has announce that Ned Allison from Harcourts 

Grenadier in Christchurch is the winner of the 

2017 REINZ National Real Estate Auctioneering 

Championships. Mark McGoldrick from Harcourts 

Canterbury (Ilam) was the runner up in the senior 

competition. Caleb Griffioen from Harcourt’s Gold 

Real Estate, Christchurch (Parklands) was runner up 

of the Rising Stars section. 

This result comes after two days of intense 

competition held at Auckland. 

Bindi Norwell, CEO, REINZ says: “Congratulations 

to Ned Allison for an outstanding performance. This 

competition is a tough and challenging one that 

requires high levels of commitment, training, courage 

and determination in order to succeed in this field. 

“This year’s Championships were made even 

more interesting by the fact that we had no reigning 

champions entering this year, so the competition was 

anyone’s to win,” points out Norwell. 

Mark Sumich, Chief Judge, commented: “The 

Championships showcase the best auctioneering 

talent available in New Zealand as our senior callers 

Confident at auctions 

Looking confident may be all you need to be the 

last bidder standing when the hammer goes down. 

Does your blood pressure go skyhigh 

at the sight of an auction room? 

Chances are some of your fellow 

bidders are doing all in their power to 

psych you out and win the bidding. 

Securing a property isn’t just about 

having the most money. Sometimes 

the winning bidder is the one with the 

most confidence. 

They use psychology to convince 

opposing bidders to give up, hoping to 

make everyone else think they’ve got 

more to spend than anyone else in the 

room. 

Too often buyers have preconceived 

ideas about how the auction will 

unfold and have their confidence 

knocked when it doesn’t go their way. 

Two can play at that game. You just 

need to get your strategy right. 

Looking confident may be all you 

need to be the last bidder standing 

when the hammer goes down. 

To be that person you need to do 

some preparation. Make sure you go to 

a few auctions first to get used to them. 

Come bidding day, park yourself on 

the side at the front so that you can 

see everyone in the room and, more 

importantly, they can see you whether 

they’re at the back of the front. 

It gives you a vantage point and 

shows the opposition you are bidding 

confidently against them. 

You are hoping that the other buyers 

have a plan in place. 

Often that’s to start low. So if you 

come in with a relatively high first bid, 

NEW LISTINGS 

are at the coalface of our industry and continue to be 

the voices most heard on the streets and in the auction 

rooms around the country. They have developed 

into internationally acclaimed orators who really are 

showcasing this time honoured trade with innovation, 

humour and skill. 

This years winner and runner up will both represent 

New Zealand at the Australasian Auctioneering 

Championships held in Adelaide in September. 

you may rattle them. 

“The lower the open bid the more 

people can afford to bid. So you could 

knock out some of the opposition 

before they even place a bid if you 

choose the right opener. 

Don’t start at $500,000 for a house 

you know is going to go for at least 

$800,000. Put an opening bid of 

$785,000. 

Immediately your opposition is 

going to think it will go incredibly high 

and might be unnerved. 

Call each bid out confidently. “It 

shows you are comfortable and in 

control. 

The more confident you seem the 

more people will think you have done 

it before. 

It’s a really good idea to vary your 

bidding increments.. If it’s going up by 

$2000 bids and it’s below your limit 

don’t be afraid to put a $10,000 bid in.. 

Your competition is always thinking 

about that next $2000 bid and if you 

change the rhythm from $2000 to 

$10,000 you show you have the money 

and it changes where their next bid 

has to be. Instead of $4000 more it is 

$12,000 more. 

Finally, if you’re a couple, make sure 

you’ve discussed every aspect of the 

auction before you get there. As soon 

as you start looking at each other or 

conferring, the opposition will think 

you’re weak.

Trees and Power Lines 

The responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the 

Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 

Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central 

Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast 

to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power 

outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous 

tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898. 

This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees) 

Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues 

can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898. 

The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003 

The regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners. 

The purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a 

secure supply of electricity. The regulations: 

• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines 

• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained 

• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to 

trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation, 

including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.) 

What are the dangers? 

Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons: 

• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of 

serious injury or death 

• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may 

electrocute anyone or anything that touches it 

• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in 

wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages 

• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines 

may cause fires. 

Minimum distances required between trees and power lines 

The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in 

the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree 

owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines. 

To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming 

more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot 

satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other 

situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered 

to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased. 

Orion’s tree management programme 

Orion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from 

Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut/trim 

or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this 

programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines. 

We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone. 

The intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power 

outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s 

responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure 

that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone. You will be notified prior to any periodic 

trimming being carried out and the work will be completed by arborists carrying Orion 

identification. 

If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram 

below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees 

within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the 

tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice. 

What is a hazard warning notice? 

If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a 

hazard warning notice to the tree owner. 

Tree “A” 

Notice

Tree “B” 

Power line Notice zone Growth limit zone 

66kV (high voltage) 5.0 metres 4.0 metres 



400V/230V (low voltage) 1.5 metres 0.5 metres 

Note: 

1) These distances are from the power line, not the power pole 

V = Volts; kV = kilo Volts ie 1,000 Volts 

2) These distances are a minimum and apply in all conditions including high wind or snow 

3) In most instances the power lines that go to a house or building are low voltage power 

lines. Power lines that go down a street may be low or high voltage. 

Trimming trees near power lines 

Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not 

be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause: 

• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by 

• injury or death to livestock 

• damage to property and other trees 

• damage to electrical appliances 

• damage to power supply facilities 

• damage to third parties. 

We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy 

to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your 

cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire 

professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out 

this work. 

If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close 

approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable 

for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees. 

A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone 

and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim 

notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above). 

The growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even 

in windy or snow conditions. The notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth 

limit zone. 

What is a cut or trim notice? 

If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give 

notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the 

distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action. 

If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs. 

Who pays for the cut or trim? 

Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a 

property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut 

of vegetation on all our lines. 

The tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims. 

We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this 

work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances. 

What fines can be imposed? 

A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable 

excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the 

time and location of the cut or trim. 

A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not 

exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of 

not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues. 

Contact us if in any doubt about your tree 

We aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are 

minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before 

regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the 

public, we will use the regulations where necessary. 

Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees, 

or to discuss your options.
