Quake memories relived Outrageous Fortune actor Robyn Malcolm and her mother Anne Malcolm attended the premiere of Canterbury earthquake movie When a City Falls on Wednesday evening. Anne Malcolm, 71, a counsellor, was on the fifth and highest floor of the CTV building when it collapsed on February 22 and was pulled to safety.

SEVENTEEN-year-old Xavier Trousselot-Rhodes, who survived the September 4 earthquake unscathed apart from a few cuts and scratches, was still grappling with mixed emotions as he watched When a City Falls. The premiere screening of the documentary at The Palms Reading cinema complex on Wednesday evening brought back many memories of September’s earthquake for Xavier, who was blown out of his second-storey bedroom as his family’s historic Hororata homestead collapsed – scenes that were captured on film. The homestead was just 10 kilometres from the epicentre of the earthquake. “One minute I was in bed and the next I was sliding down the wall. I thought I was looking out the window but I was actually outside on the ground. “It’s been over a year now but a lot of memories came back after I saw the movie. It was really good to see it though because

it’s important to recognise the people who died.” Christian, Xavier’s younger brother, 16, also had a lucky escape. He wasn’t in the bedroom where he usually slept, so avoided being crushed by bricks that rained on to his bed from one of the homestead’s six chimneys. Xavier’s father Allan Rhodes believed the documentary was a must-see for all New Zealanders and provided important lessons for everyone about the fragility of human life. Mr Rhodes heard a huge roar and explosion after September’s earthquake and rushed outside to pull bricks from a collapsed wall off Xavier. “The film showed me that in life it doesn’t pay to take things for granted. It really makes you appreciate life and that something like this can happen at any time. “I’ve lived in Canterbury all my life and I never thought that we’d have an earthquake. I think the best way to cope is to have a positive attitude and the film shows how resilient we are.”

Architect Sir Miles Warren, who was also at the premiere, said he had been invited because he had “a bit part” in it but would have gone to see it at some point anyway. He thought it was “brilliant, especially the shots of the second earthquake”. “We relived every moment of it.” Sir Miles was on the seventh floor of a block of flats in Oxford Terrace with his sister when the February earthquake struck. “We felt a jolt but we didn’t realise what had happened until we went down to Cashel Mall.” Sir Miles said When a City Falls was a movie that every New Zealander should see – especially councillors so they would see what could happen in such an event. Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority CEO Roger Sutton was among the hundreds of people at the premiere. The film was the first to be shown at the cinema complex since it was closed after the February earthquake. See also page 7

public input and notification on traffic use at an expanding commercial operation in their street. A series of non-notified consent decisions granted over the last few years

council. “All we are asking for is a chance to have a say in what happens to our street.” Ms Woods said too many non-notified consents were being granted even before the earthquakes and now, especially with commercial intensification in the west, there was a situation where the battle lines would be drawn between different camps. “While it’s great to see business expanding and creating jobs, we must rebuild this city on a foundation that sees businesses, communities and council work together for fair outcomes.” Christchurch City Council general manager of regulation and democracy services Peter Mitchell said all resource consent applications had to be dealt with in accordance with the Christchurch City Plan and the Resource Management Act. “If an application satisfies the requirements in the Act to be considered on a non-notified basis, that is the way it must be dealt with. “The council cannot notify an application simply because it may be controversial.” The percentage of consents processed as nonnotified by the council was “in line” with other large urban councils in New Zealand, he said.

Church not playing politics, says clergyman Tom Doudney

AN Anglican priest involved with organising a rally calling for more transparency and accountability from the Government, Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) and insurers has denied the church is dabbling in politics before the election. The Show Your Colour Crusade rally, to be held in Cranmer Square tomorrow, has been organised by the Wider Earthquake Communities Action Network (WeCan). Attendees have been asked to bring crosses in the colour of the zone their land is in to symbolise the burden borne by Christchurch homeowners and to

support the call for an independent advocacy commission empowered to suspend Cera powers in the public interest. The Anglican church has promoted the rally on its website and Anglican minister the Reverend Mike Coleman, who is also a spokesperson for WeCan, has written on the website criticising Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee and Cera over issues relating to zoning. An email sent by a church communications staff member concering the weekend asked clergy to “give serious consideration” to an-

nouncing the rally to their congregations during the week. Rev Coleman said WeCan had staged three or four other rallies since June and the election was not a factor in the timing of the rally. “We’re not political, although we are critical of the way the National government has handled this.” However, he also said the group was aware that many Red Zone residents would be Labour voters because they were coincidentally from lower socio-economic areas and there had not been “enough concern” about that.

A spokesperson for the Anglican diocese of Christchurch said Bishop Victoria Matthews was currently unavailable for comment but added the publicity given to the issue on the website was because Rev Coleman was “a priest in good standing with the diocese”. Mr Brownlee said he had no comment on the event but would be seeking a meeting with the bishop and senior clergy “to ensure they are fully briefed on everything the Government and Cera are doing to assist in the rebuild of Christchurch, including the offers we have made to private property owners.”

From the editor

That’s one big sandwich!

editor@mainlandpress.co.nz

Moral issues in the general election THIS will be my last column before I head off for a week’s leave. I have to admit a certain pleasure in the timing. I’ll be spared the blare of the final week of the general election campaign. The TV and radio will be turned off and dare I say it, newspapers will be avoided. That’s a holiday for me. I have already decided who will get my vote although I am not hugely enthusiastic over my final choice. A certain amount of compromise has been required. If this general election was a horse race you could say there are no Phar Laps, either in the way of candidates or parties. Reviewing the recent weeks of the campaign, economic issues are not unexpectedly figuring as the most important concern of voters.

What a whopper! Jared Fogle, famous for shedding 107kg after embarking on a diet of Subway sandwiches in the late 1990s, lines up a six-foot long sandwich during a visit to Christchurch on Wednesday. Mr Fogle was in New Zealand for a whirlwind tour promoting the importance of making healthy eating choices. “Unfortunately New Zealand is quickly catching up with the US as far as obesity rates go.” Mr Fogle said he had found New Zealand audiences were among the most receptive in the world to his talks.

However, for a proportion of our society – which is under-estimated by some political parties – they are looking at moral issues nearly as much to decide who will get their vote. These people are uncomfortable with the shifts and turns in which our increasingly PC society is moving. Interestingly a weekly tabloid, which you might expect to see in the smoko room at a freezing works or factory, recently gave the thumbs down to the Labour Party. This was over Labour’s pushing of the gay rights cause in secondary schools. Other parties received ticks of approval. A moral issue which is looming and that has not figured in this latest campaign is euthanasia. It is highly likely that it will play a major part in the next general election.

Mr Cosgrove said he had gone to the property at the request of the owners, an elderly woman and her son, to check on his sign since it had a lean. He was told by the son Cedric Livingstone that the National signs were not wanted and should be removed which was done. “Normally it’s a protocol that where there are already signs you leave them alone,” Mr Cosgrove said. “Kate Wilkinson used these same bullying tactics in the last election.” A recent poll showed Mr Cosgrove could face a big defeat in the seat which he has held for 12 years. In the last general election he won from Ms Wilkinson by 390 votes, the second-narrowest margin in the country. Mr Cosgrove is No. 8 on Labour’s list; Ms Wilkinson is WHY it is the elected official always seem to No 19 in Prime Minister John Key’s cabinet. duck shove when the going gets tough?

to say but closer observation shows a different picture. This is prevalent in central government, sports club committees and boards. However when city or district councils work under this kind of dead weight, frustrations and distrust occurs in the wider community and even the driven member gets tarred with the same brush What I find the hardest is the lack of ownership or responsibility for decisions made. Let’s think about the admonishment and anger that the Pike River investigation is delivering to all parties involved - heroes to zero. Yet here in our trashed city we have a mayor making excuses for council, (can’t blame staff cause it is the council that makes the final decision) on the policies and responsibility that they had to make their city a safe and healthy place “Heads should roll,” says the community on the West Coast, possibly jail for those who did not keep the workers safe in their environment. But here in Christchurch we are talking about hindsight. HINDSIGHT! I’m perplexed. I got sacked over not having a water plan in place (yet all the work we were doing on it has been lauded by the Government-appointed assistants). Yet in this city, we have acceptance that a ’relatively passive’ approach to our building codes was taken by the Christchurch City Council and they are all still sitting there! I don’t get it. So in the West Coast they want accountability, blood on the floor. The Government demanded and took away your democratic rights in the ECan debacle and the city council is allowed to continue. Ironic don’t you think, that the enormity of their decision making on building codes is being fobbed off with “hindsight’ and the ‘costs were too high’. I would have thought that decision came at a very high cost! Why are we not more outraged by these comments and demanding – something, anything!

Vast electorate with vast issues

ELECTIONS

EMPLOYMENT, child poverty, and the economy are shaping up as major issues for voters in Te Tai Tonga, candidates say. Te Tai Tonga is the largest electorate in the country and covers Maori roll constituents across the entire South Island, the Chatham Islands and parts of Wellington. The current electorate MP is Rahui Katene of the Maori Party, who first won the seat at the 2008 election, by a margin of 1049 votes. Mrs Katene said the Maori Party was a firm proponent of social lending. She also pointed out the Christchurch City Council’s community organisation loan scheme as an example of how it had been successfully implemented in her electorate. Further social lending would allow communities to take responsibility, create real work, and free up resources for whanau development, she said. “Our philosophy is that it is not about what we can do for you; it is about supporting our people, to do [it] for themselves”. “Our focus has always been to create policies that focus on who we are, where we are heading and what we can do for ourselves, not what we expect from others.” Labour Party candidate Rino Tirikatene said he wanted to make a positive difference to all Maori in Te Tai Tonga. “It’s a vast electorate, and every

Labour’s trades training scheme promised to convert unemployment benefit payments into 9000 new apprenticeships for young people nationwide, Mr Tirikatene said. The new scheme would provide plenty of employment opportunities for Christchurch youth in particular. “From a Maori perspective, I guess, I really want to see our people play a significant part in the rebuild,” he said. Green Party candidate Dora Roimata Langsbury said Te Tai Tonga voters expressed particular concerns around the future of younger generations. “A smart Green economy is the only way to ensure a richer future for our tamariki and mokopuna,” she said. The party vote would be important for Ms Langsbury’s campaign. A party vote of between 15-25 percent would

Prisoners to help with Christchurch rebuild OVER 100 prisoners will receive trade training to assist with rebuilding the city. The Department of Corrections and the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT) joined forces to provide prisoners with training programmes. From Monday CPIT tutors will deliver Level 2 national certificates in painting and decorating; automotive engineering; and plumbing, roofing and drainlaying. Prisoners will also earn credits towards an apprenticeship on release. Rehabilitation and reintegration services general manager Alison Thom said there was a double benefit with training making prisoners more employable – and therefore less likely to

reoffend, as well as contributing to the rebuilding of Christchurch. “We’ve picked up the challenge and with the support of CPIT will be delivering an excellent trade training programme. Most of the prisoners will be from the Canterbury region so they will really be giving something back.” “Trade training forms an important part of their reintegration plan. We want prisoners to have the skills and opportunities to get a job on release and be productive and engaged with their community.” CPIT chief executive Kay Giles said the programmed was part of CPIT’s commitment to providing skills training to enable all Cantabrians to contribute to the rebuild of Christchurch.

ensure the Green Party’s integrated set of policies would be implemented rather than “cherry picked” by other parties, she said. Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party candidate Emma-Jane Mihaere Kingi said the lack of jobs, money and education funding were major concerns raised by Te Tai Tonga voters. “Like the other parties in this election, I am greatly concerned with the high rates of child poverty”. “The importance should be placed on providing every child in this country an equal opportunity to have a happy and healthy life at home and at school”. Mana Party candidate Clinton Dearlove could not be reached for comment.

Cemetery Pit to open for picnics A NEW reserve with a quirky name is due to open early next month between Leeston and Southbridge. The Selwyn District Council has been working on the Cemetery Pit Reserve, which is next to a working quarry, over the past year. Strategic Asset manager Anne Greenup said the area has always been known as Cemetery Pit so it made sense for that to become the name of the reserve. Ms Greenup said the council started replanting the area in native flora, set up a picnic area with toilets and created a couple of small tracks.

“The idea is that this is a rural park – it’s not manicured, it’s a chance for people to get out and get a breath of fresh air, with great views of the mountains and a few short walks.” The gravel pit has been capped and grassed, further native plants will be added to the reserve and a walking/ cycling track created through them when the budget allows. Selwyn mayor Kelvin Coe and councillor Nigel Barnett will officially open the reserve, which is signposted on the Leeston-Southbridge Road near Catholic Cemetery, at 11am on Sunday, December 4.

City choir’s Christmas gift to Christchurch A RARE line-up of four talented New Zealand soloists, soprano Anna Leese; mezzo-soprano Kate Spence; tenor Keith Lewis; and bass Martin Snell, will add a special touch to the annual Christchurch City Choir’s performance of Handel’s Messiah on December 3. They will be accompanied by the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Brian Law. Mr Law said Messiah was an inspired religious masterpiece that carries an emotional impact with harmonious word and sound. “Messiah is one of the most popular

works of music ever written. It’s traditional, but it’s also tried and true, and a work that becomes more interesting each time we experience it. Each performance gives another nuance, but always the grandeur and glory, the lavish, elaborate, and dazzling beauty and emotion of sound and meaning triumph.” The performance will be held in Christ College assembly hall. Tickets are $15 and available online from the Christchurch City Choir. Contact citychoir@xtra.co.nz or phone 03 366 6927.

Aunt to lose hair for young niece Gina McKenzie

WHEN her 23-monthold niece’s hair started falling out in clumps after chemotherapy treatment, Aroha Nukunuku decided to shave her hair off to raise funds for child cancer research. “I thought this would be a great way to raise money for cancer research and to help Brooke. “I’m a bit nervous about losing all of my hair but it’s nothing compared to what she’s going through.” Joletta Winter said she never realised her daughter was suffering from leukaemia until she became ill one weekend in late September. “She had a few red spots on Friday and then more on Saturday so I took her to the doctor’s. They said it was just a skin problem, but things got worse so we took her back on Monday.” By Monday evening, Mrs Winter and her husband Jonathan received the test results that confirmed Brooke had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Brave fighter: Brooke Winter’s family is supporting her battle against leukaemia with her aunt Aroha Nukunuku (centre) shaving her hair off next week to raise money for child cancer research.

“It was a huge shock. There’s no history of it in our families and this just came out of nowhere. She seemed like such a healthy little girl.” Treatment began immediately and Brooke is now facing 19 weeks of chemotherapy followed by 18 months of monitoring. The couple said Brooke was taking the treatment in her stride but had much less energy.

“She’s coping well but has become a lot weaker. Before, she was racing around the house, but now she’s back to crawling because she’s lost so much muscle mass.” Mr Winter hoped the family’s story would raise awareness of child cancer. “The hospital staff have been so wonderful to us and we thought we should do something positive to

give something back to them.” Ms Nukunuku had already raised $800 towards her goal of $1500 and will shave her hair off next Thursday at Addington Raceway.

Working to revive the central city AS the face of the Restart the Heart initiative, establishing shops made from shipping containers in City Mall, John Suckling has had a hectic past few months. He caught up with Samantha Early and explained his passion for the central city.

Quake movie draws big crowd THE latest movie about the Christchurch earthquake premiered at The Palms on Wednesday evening. When a City Falls attracted a large audience who watched the movie in two theatres at the Reading complex. Some of those attending were Photos: Gilbert Wealleans

THE shops opened on schedule, Cup and Show Week has passed and John Suckling says the Restart retailers are pleased with trading so far and looking towards attracting Christmas shoppers. With a little time to reflect, Mr Suckling, who turns 70 in April, credits his long involvement with central city initiatives to his experience working in government department jobs Wellington in the mid-1960s and 1970s, after he gained a Masters in Economics at the University of Canterbury His experience of what travel writers now call the ‘coolest little capital’ was very different. “It was grey and boring and windy… it was so boring on weekends and had very little sense of community.” He moved back to Christchurch in 1977 to take over the family business, Sucklings Shoe Store in Colombo Street, which his father Glen Suckling had founded in 1934. “As well as wanting to grow the business I felt a strong commitment to being involved in how the central city evolved in an environment that was increasingly competitive with suburban development.” He became heavily involved in any issues which came up, voluntarily serving on committees or

working groups. Last year he joined the Central City Property and Business Owners Group and after the February earthquake, which destroyed his 1901 brick building, they realised its members owned most of the land in City Mall and came up with the idea for Restart. He said it was important to get something going again in the central city. “Generally speaking what people feel about their city is generally how they feel about their central city area. Those that are proud of their city are in a city that has a vibrant and well functioning central city.” However, he said the heartache people were facing with their homes in the suburbs was not to be devalued and the issues with homes came first, then the central city. He wanted city landowners like himself to work together when rebuilding. “Restart shows that if there is a precinct that is coordinated it is likely to be more successful rather than lots of individual landowners doing their own thing.” When Mr Suckling gets free time, he likes to explore his love of photography. “Especially [photographing] design and buildings and things like that.”

Ilam supermarket opens its doors CHRISTCHURCH’S newest supermarket opened its doors for the first time with a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday morning. The $19 million New World Ilam was completed on schedule despite minor delays due to this year’s earthquakes, with the finishing touches applied this week. It has been built on the former Feltex factory site on Peer St beside Villa Maria College. Speaking before the opening, owner Phillip Blackburn said he was looking forward to the big day. “It is a very exciting time, with the shelves being stocked up, the last pieces of plant and equipment installed and the chillers and freezers being commissioned and run in.”

Mr Blackburn had a long history with supermarkets. His father operated one in the North Island and he helped out there from a young age. Since completing a Bachelor of Commerce at Otago University he has managed several supermarkets around New Zealand. The supermarket features a Wi-fi café and according to management has a strong focus on fresh foods. Mr Blackburn said customers could be assured that it was constructed to the highest post-earthquake safety standards. “It is the most modern supermarket in New Zealand – I want to make it a welcoming and fun place to shop and work.”

Apply capers liberally, pressing them down into the ďŹ lm of garlic. Sprinkle on Tuscan herbs. Add a thin layer of crushed cheddar cheese.

Place the bread into a deep oven dish, cover with nfoil and place in the oven (this helps the bread and toppings heat through evenly). When cooked, remove the nfoil and sprinkle the spring onion over the bread. Add a slight sprinkle of cheddar cheese (or slices of camembert) and return to the oven. Set the oven to grill. When the top is nicely golden, slice and serve.

Woodlands Course RE-OPENS at Harewood

Proud to be sponsors of

THE HAREWOOD GOLF CLUB

Christchurch golfers now have a new challenge with the reopening of the Woodlands Course at Harewood Golf Club. The course was designed by former European Tour professional Greg Turner and is part of a $2 million redevelopment at the club. Greg Tuner says that the Woodlands Course is one of a few quality courses in New Zealand and combined with Harewoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Plains Course offers golfing options for everyone. Woodlands offers wider fairways and plenty of undulations to landing areas with swales and run-off areas on the greens. The addition of 12 new bunkers provides plenty of surprises for golfers of any age. During the reconstruction over 500 trees were felled to provide the wider fairways. The new course has also been lengthened to almost 6400 metres and every hole has been changed. Harewood Golf Club, with its proximity to Christchurch and its wonderful views to the Southern Alps and Banks Peninsula, has a wide range of membership options and is a popular choice for many golfers.

Now with the Woodlands course opened, golfers can either play 9, 18 or 36 holes. There is also a practice putting green, a practice fairway and a chipping green to help golfers warm up. If you are just looking to play occasionally youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green fees are great value for money. So, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a new member, green fee player, or long term member there is something for everyone. Corporate golf competitions are popular at Harewood Golf Club and have been running for 17 years. On Tuesdays at twilight the teams of four play 9 holes, followed by a meal and prize giving. There is a competition running at the moment and a new one planned for early next year. Harewood Golf Club is open seven days a week and has a wellstocked Pro Shop, bar and catering facilities and prides itself on its friendly social atmosphere. The re-opening of the exciting and challenging Woodlands course combined with The Plains Course at Harewood Golf Club provides plenty of variety for all golfers and, tucked behind Christchurch International Airport, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it s an easy drive.

Mid-Week Women The Mid-week Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group plays on Tuesdays and Thursdays, every week of the year. Each playing group is drawn randomly. This means that all you have to do to play is turn up 15 minutes before the tee-time (and bring your clubs!). If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re turning up for the ďŹ rst time, let one of the committee know (see below) so that they can help you settle in. During winter, groups tee-off at 10am.

heart still beating strong Ly elton Bakery fresh every day There has always been a bakery in Ly elton, so not even a natural disaster could stop Ian Sco from carrying on the tradi on and providing fresh food daily for the local community. Ian has owned Ly elton Bakery for four years, but he was forced to close his premises in London Street for three months a er the earthquake struck on February 22 and relocate. Ly elton Bakery now works out of a portacom at the corner of Norwich Quay and Canterbury Street. Not that Ian is complaining, he has a loyal following and his customers are grateful he has remained in business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since I moved here the people have made us so welcome and fully support our business, so I was not going to let them down,â&#x20AC;? says Ian, a baker by trade for 32 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would say to me, we will support you and good on you for showing us you can do it.â&#x20AC;? It wasn't easy to make a bakery work out of a portacom but where there is a will there is a way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a mammoth job, we were lucky to even retrieve the big oven from the old premises, then we had to take it apart and all the bricks inside had to be dismantled just to get it inside the portacom,â&#x20AC;?says Ian Thankfully his hard work and determina on has paid oďŹ&#x20AC; and Ly elton Bakery is as busy as ever. Ian has even taken on an appren ce, his daughter Bree, so things are looking up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love being in Ly elton. It's the people that make the place. We have a great community here. It's a busy li le place, it never stops. You have your ďŹ sherman, boat builders, engineers and so on, it's great.â&#x20AC;? Everything is made on site at Ly elton Bakery. They are known for their pastry and their gourmet pies and sausage rolls go down a treat.

Grow Some Crystals Materials: Epsom salts (available from your supermarket), cup, glass or plastic jar, pencil, thread, white or light coloured pipe cleaner, water, paper towel, food colouring (optional). You will need an adult to help with this activity. Please wash your hands after handling the Epsom salts and do not drink the solution. 1. Heat a cup of water until it begins to steam. 2. Remove the cup from heat, and stir in 2/3 of a cup of Epsom salts. 3. Add some food colouring (optional). 4. Pour the solution into a glass or plastic jar. 5. Mould your pipe cleaner into a decorative shape (heart, star etc). 6. Tie one end of some thread around your shape and the other end around a pencil. 7. Place your shape in the solution by balancing the pencil on the top of the jar. 8. Sit your jar on a windowsill and leave for a day or two. 9. Take your crystal shape out of the solution and gently place on a paper towel to dry. 10. Hang your crystal shape up.

Kiwi Innovator of the Week Epsom salt is also known as magnesium sulfate. The crystals typically resemble shards or spikes. Initially the crystals are clear, though they whiten over time. It’s easy to create coloured crystals by adding food colouring. To make bigger crystals, leave the shape in the solution for longer.

Grant Ryan – mechanical engineer, entrepreneur and inventor of the YikeBike From an early age Grant Ryan wanted to be an inventor. Growing up in rural Southland, he spent his childhood making mechanical things and watching his father in his workshop. Later, as a step towards becoming an inventor, Grant gained a degree in mechanical engineering and followed it with a doctorate degree in ecological economics. For several years he started up several internet search technology and software companies. Some of the products he developed are used hundreds of millions of times a year. Grant then turned his attention to looking at more eco-friendly ways of moving people around towns and cities. After five years of experimenting, Grant and Peter Higgins, an engineer friend, came up with a redesign of the bicycle, the YikeBike.

T he YikeBike is the smallest folding electric bike in the world. From the first prototype made from a tricycle and skateboard wheels, the YikeBike developed into the world’s smallest and lightest fold-up electric bike. Grant and his team’s goal is for the fun, cost-effective and safe YikeBike to become the most commonly owned transport device in the world. Look out for YikeBikers zooming around streets of Christchurch!

I have next season. Enjoy the power of the hundreds of them; some are self-sown, flower. others I grew from seed, and some I planted from punnets. Poppies are adored and treasured all over the world for their nodding flower buds and wonderfully colourful yet delicate-looking flowers. O en used as a symbol of remembrance due to the nodding nature of the flower bud, which is thought to resemble a fallen soldier, this most humble of flowers is an u er joy to have in the garden. Whether planted in large dri s or used singularly to punctuate a flower border, poppies are simply deligh ul. Hundreds of types and colours are available from annuals, which strut their stuff for a number of months, to perennials, which are a welcome sight every year. As a cut flower, poppies last for a few days once picked. Ideally, one should pick when the bud is just about to show its first sign of colour and place in a vase full of water. Plant in a place where there is full sunlight. Poppies require a light, free draining soil with moisture over the summer months. Add SaturAid to enhance the soil's water holding ability. Sow seed in autumn or spring annuals and li and divide perennials in autumn or winter. Poppies are very hardy and tolerant of frosts.

The need for shade W

Cool shade: Wisteria is an ideal climber to provide shade in the summer.

ith the imminent long, hot summer, now is the me to start thinking about pu ng up a li le shade in the garden. I admit I love waking up on summer mornings to birdsong and a gentle breeze. During my favourite part of the day, I o en sow seeds, plant and e up my sweet peas and tomatoes, water them, and some mes even hum a tune or two all before 7am. As summer approaches, I know I will be seeking out the shady, cooler parts of the garden. Fortunately, I have three super-duper weeping willows that cater to my needs, but not everyone has the room or desire to grow these sorts of trees. However, shade in Canterbury is not a luxury item; it is a necessity. Crea ng areas that provide shade and protec on enables you to have a garden you can enjoy all day. You should consider plan ng a tree, hanging a shade sail, building a pergola or trellis, or using an umbrella. Choose one that suits the style of your home and your lifestyle. Seek out expert advice and check to see if parts or materials are available. Permits may be required for larger shade features, so check with the local council to clarify what regula ons you may need to comply with. Trees can be planted to provide shade and shelter. They add a so ening and tranquil eďŹ&#x20AC;ect to the area, crea ng an ambience o en unmatched by structures alone. Shade Sails are popular for both large and small gardens. The clean slick lines so en outdoor areas. Choose one that has strong metal reinforced holes and select fabric that is durable and has a pale colour. Umbrellas have come a long way. Choose anything from canvas market type umbrellas to the extending and folding umbrellas. Til ng umbrellas creates shade against the sun and can also keep out nosey neighbours.

Pergolas are ideally suited for linking diďŹ&#x20AC;erent parts of the garden and home and crea ng summer shade. Climbing plants can be grown over the pergolas.

Trellis is a quick and clever way of crea ng a shady, protected area. You can choose from the tradi onal criss-cross pa erns to the parallel, more modern oriental ones.

Keeping cool: You can have a picnic or even just relax and play games under the shade of this cherry tree.

Given this, one can understand Holden’s reluctance to change much of its appearance. The Calais has held flagship status in the Commodore range for a long me, but it costs a minimum of $66,790 for the 3.6 litre Calais V-Series.

Canterbury sweeps artistic gymnastic nationals

From the sideline

with Pete Smith

pete.smith@ctv.co.nz

The curse of the drink ONE can only have the greatest of sympathy for the demise of All Black Zac Guildford. Having said that he is not the only victim of alcohol, particularly amoung the youth. In the 1920s the call of the temperance movement was ‘beware of the evils of the drink’. Not suprisingly the movement died a natural death mainly through the traumas of a world war that the serving personnel had to endure. Guildford is a 22-yearold young man who has a very real talent when it comes to plying his trade as a rugby player. Unfortunately for Zac this only represents a very small part of the 24 hour a day life he has to be a part of.

Given all the support structures we hear of that are put in place by the NZRFU, self responsibility is still the core ingredient in avoiding the pitfalls that today’s world puts in front of us. Alcoholism is a vicious beast and unfortunately for those that are caught in its grip the only person who can stop the rot is the victim themselves. On Pete Smith Hosts coming up next Monday night I will be playing an interview with Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder which I recorded this week. If there was ever a thought that Toddy doesn’t care about the future of one of his stars, this interview will dispel any thoughts you may

Pete Smith

have had. Blackadder was clearly, genuinely concerned and saddened about the recent events surrounding Guildford. He was aware that Zac came to the Crusaders with two demons haunting his charge, alcohol and gambling addictions. The entire Crusaders management and squad members tackled the problem in a typical Canterbury way.

People involved rolled their collective sleeves up and put structures in place to ring fence the troubled young man and make him believe that he was a vital member of their unit and that he could be a very fine rugby player if he followed the ethos that everyone has to buy into Why has it all gone wrong since he moved into the All Black environment?. Where is there any comment and standing up to accept responsibility for the recent events by the All Black framework? I’m sorry but winning the World Cup is not the be all and end all and your obligations continue on. Let’s hope that we recognise that a life is more important than a tiny gold cup!

Surf clubs back in action tomorrow Duncan Martin

CHRISTCHURCH surf clubs will be “back in business” for the summer, New Zealand Surf Life Saving club development officer Scotty Roberts says. Surf lifeguards were set to “hit the beaches” tomorrow and would be on patrol through to March 11 next year. “We’ve got eight clubs, all really healthy, all going really really well, and we can’t foresee any issues this year in terms of the club’s patrolling – they’ll all be able to patrol to their full potential,” Mr Roberts said. Surf lifeguards felt preventive action was the most effective way of keeping swimmers safe. This would mean making sure Cantabrians “swim between the flags” this summer, Mr Roberts said. “Why is it our key message?

the public to swim and by setting up the flags, we make sure they don’t get caught in rips, and they don’t put themselves in danger.” As a nationwide organisation, New Zealand Surf Life Saving had 3800 volunteer lifeguards onboard, with over 400 turning out at Christchurch beaches each weekend last summer. It was good to see people still wanted to come down and spend time patrolling the beaches, Mr Roberts said. “For anybody that’s looking to become a lifeguard – the clubs are all still there, really keen to get members on board.” Becoming a lifesaver was a Surf’s up: Scotty Roberts all major, but rewarding commitment. prepared for a new season.

Winning leap: 12-year-old Palenque Doddington’s split leap helped her take out the step five title in her first year of national competition.

CANTERBURY continued its domination of artistic gymnastics by winning the majority of national titles at Timaru last week. Christchurch School of Gymnastics maintained their position as the strongest artistic club in New Zealand by taking out 37 titles. A number of outstanding performances helped Canterbury carry off many national titles.

Jack Willamson, 10, overcame a sore ankle to take the individual all around level four title as well as four of the six apparatus titles. Aaron Clutterbuck, 18, level nine, Natasha Boon, international level 10, and Juliette Ward, international level five, won AA National titles. Canterbury teams took seven of nine titles in the girl’s grades while the boys won three of six team events.
