Cenotaph tagger’s message: STOP NOW BY KYLE KNOWLES The man who defaced a war memorial is pleading with other taggers to leave it alone. The man was 16 when he spraypainted the New Brighton War Memorial in December 2012, which had to be covered up for the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day last month. Last weekend, the war memorial was tagged again, causing outrage across the city. The man came forward to police recently to confess to his graffiti in 2012, as the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day loomed. It will take years for his tagging to be removed because of the soft nature of the cenotaph’s stone. The cenotaph was covered for the 100th anniversary commemoration. On Thursday the tagger spoke exclusively to the Nor’West News about why he did it, and why he wants other vandals to leave the cenotaph alone.

LOOKING FOR SUPPORT

Help stop the tagging

If anyone has any information in relation to the latest tagging on the cenotaph, email Senior Constable Gary Bombay at Gary.Bombay@police.govt.nz or phone Christchurch police on 363 7400.

He also apologised in person to the New Brighton Returned Services Association on Thursday. The RSA accepted the apology. Restorative measures have been agreed on by the RSA, and the man, over his tagging. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the man told Pegasus Post: “I don’t think it’s worth anybody’s time to start tagging. You can’t make money off of it, it’s a waste of time and you get in trouble. At the end of the day you just mess people round and mess other people’s stuff up. He also has a message for the taggers who vandalised the cenotaph further last weekend. •Turn to page 5

PO BOX 1467, Christchurch Proudly Christchurch owned & operated

The precious literary works of one of New Zealand’s most celebrated authors are being proudly re-displayed in their rightful home after some were nearly lost to water damage earlier this year. Dame Ngaio Marsh’s former long-time home in Cashmere is a category one historic place and is supported by volunteers and funds from the Dame Ngaio Marsh House and Heritage Trust, of which Perpetual Guardian is custodial trustee. Built in 1904, the home has been preserved as it was when Dame Ngaio lived there and receives regular maintenance. However, issues with the property’s stormwater drainage has caused the home’s lower level, which contains Dame Ngaio’s studio, to be flooded twice. Severe weather and heavy rain last month threatened the preservation of items displayed in the studio, and staff of Perpetual Guardian and Heritage NZ acted quickly to move all contents into safe storage in a vacant room on the second floor. Lauded as the Queen of Crime, Dame Ngaio Marsh (right) spent her life in Christchurch. Upon her death in 1982, she bequeathed her home to a family member, who sold the property to the NZ Historic Places Trust (now Heritage NZ) in 1992. Kate Palmer, client manager

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Volunteers and Perpetual Guardian custodial trustee Dr Ian Lochhead shift historical items which belonged to Dame Ngaio Marsh, back into the historic home after they were removed to prevent them being damaged by water leaks. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN at Perpetual Guardian’s Christchurch office, says the home’s contents are of inestimable value – monetarily, historically and culturally – and their loss would be devastating. “I’m so grateful for the support of Heritage NZ, which joined our emergency task force to move Dame Ngaio’s books and furniture while repair work was carried out. “The repairs to the stormwater drainage system have been completed, so we are now able to move the books and furniture back to the studio. Fortunately this beautiful historic home, which has been featured in popular home and

home remains a place for admirers of her work – both locally and from overseas – to visit. The Dame Ngaio Marsh House and Heritage Trust was established in 1992 to support the preservation and promotion of the home and life of Dame Ngaio Marsh. The home allows visitors to discover the family treasures she collected from around the world and see where her most famous works were composed. Dame Ngaio was most famous for her creation of the character of Inspector Roderick Alleyn. Information about the home and how to support the trust can be found at www.ngaiomarsh.org.nz.

However, further repair work is needed to fix a couple of leaks in the roof, and we are seeking support and donations to ensure we can continue to preserve the building.” The Dame Ngaio Marsh House and Heritage Trust “runs on a shoestring”, Ms Palmer says. Funds are raised through donations, property tours and the rental of part of the house as a one-bedroom flat. In addition to Perpetual Guardian, which acts as custodial trustee, the trust has eight other trustees and a committee of volunteers whose vision has been to ensure Dame Ngaio’s works are preserved and her

AMBITIOUS: Jake Millar (left), has sold his startup OOMPHER to Careers New Zealand. Right: Father Rod Miller (inset), was one of nine killed in the 2010 Fox Glacier plane crash.

Entrepreneur sells OOMPHER to Govt A former Christchurch Boys’ High School student and entrepreneur whose father was killed in one of the country’s worst air disasters has sold his first start-up to a Crown entity. Jake Millar, 19, has announced the sale of OOMPHER to Government careers advisory service Careers New Zealand. OOMPHER was started by Mr Millar as an 18-year-old determined to carve his own path as an entrepreneur. From Greymouth, he was dealt a blow as a 15-year-old, when his father, Skydive NZ director Rod Miller, was one of nine people killed in the 2010 Fox Glacier plane crash. “My dad’s death really brought home the fact that you can be living life to the full one minute, then gone the next – so there’s no use wasting time on things you don’t absolutely love.” Mr Millar, the 2013 head prefect

of Christchurch Boys’ declined a $40,000 law scholarship at the University of Otago in favour of forming the start-up. “I have a ‘start yesterday’ approach because there’s no use waiting for success to find you. While I have huge respect for knowledge and learning, I feel those years it would’ve taken to get a degree will be better spent doing my own projects.” Mr Millar recently changed the spelling of his last name from Miller, to avoid confusion with American rapper Jacob Harris “Jake” Miller. Taking inspiration from the drive and determination of top performers in their fields, he filmed video interviews with high flyers such as butchery mogul Sir Peter ‘The Mad Butcher’ Leitch, MasterChef winner and co-founder of My Food Bag Nadia Lim, rowing gold medallist Mahe Drysdale

and more than 80 other luminaries. Real estate mogul Mike Pero was also interviewed, and was an instrumental early supporter. Those videos, 55 of which are currently uploaded to view online at the OOMPHER website are central to Mr Millar’s message that success comes from ambition and hard work – and in many cases success need not be accompanied by a university degree. “I started OOMPHER on a spark of inspiration and not much else,” he said. “From day one we had firm goals to show other young people what’s achievable by profiling people who’ve built wildly successful careers and companies, and become real influencers in their fields simply because they had the vision and the drive to carry it out.” Forward momentum is a constant in Mr Millar’s life, and he

has embraced OOMPHER’s sale to Careers New Zealand. “I’m hugely excited about this development, and things have turned out better than anyone could’ve imagined. This is a new beginning for OOMPHER, where Careers New Zealand will take the site next level and discover new and amazing distribution channels.” Careers New Zealand chief executive Keith Marshall, said the match with OOMPHER was a great fit. “The site complements other Careers New Zealand work aimed at helping young people make good career decisions which benefit both themselves and the country,” he said. “Over the next few months Careers New Zealand will be looking at how we maintain both the motivational aspect of OOMPHER, and its ‘by youth, for youth’ focus.”

Polyphony: Storytelling through art Youth Week is here and one of the projects being run in the city is an art exhibition at the Papanui Library, showcasing some of the city’s best youth art. Reporter Kyle Knowles spoke to Te Ora Hou, Otautahi youth worker and one of the co-ordinators of the event, Amanda Smith, about the project. Hi Amanda, you have a project running this week for Youth Week? Yes, it is called Polyphony. Last year we did the same project and we hope it will be a continual thing that will happen every year. It happens during Youth Week and the idea of polyphony is to get young people to tell a story with art. Last year we used photography but people didn’t understand the photography and people were good at all different art, including drawing and painting, so this year we have expanded it to all art and that is being exhibited at the Papanui Library. There is a theme to the art too? Yes, last year it was the rebuild and the young people came up with great ideas. This year it is ‘we are the future’, so quite a broad topic. The youth groups have explored all the things they want for the future. They haven’t looked too far into the future, and have focused on what can they change now for the people who will be in their shoes in 15-16 years’ time. Polyphony is all about getting ideas across in a positive way. We even had an American expert

come out to show us not photography but how to tell a story in art. How has the lead-up gone to the exhibition? Really well actually, during the school holidays we had a three-day workshop and had a group which had a chance to go on the workshop, with the intention to deliver that workshop back to youth groups, which was awesome. We were also able to get a film-maker in to teach all the technical stuff as well as getting an artist in to teach them how to draw. We found last year that some people couldn’t do the photography but could draw really well, so this year we expanded it and put them in the exhibit . And where is it going to be displayed in the library? It’s actually going to be on the side of the library’s windows. It’s a sticky thing that goes over the win-

for Youth Week What is your favourite part of the job? Probably doing these community-based projects, not only the polyphony ones we have done the last two years. It is nice to work with other youth events and other groups in the area too. I like being a part of events we hold in particular because when we put on events, young people don’t have to come to our youth group but have an interest in our events. Are you from Christchurch? No. I’m originally from down south. I grew up in the Catlans area then moved to Balclutha and I didn’t move to Christchurch until I was 19. I am now 27. Why did you move up here? My parents moved up here and my brother moved up with his partner and when they moved, I didn’t want to be away from my family. What did you do when you moved up here? I had a gap year. Then I went to university and studied Maori and indigenous studies at Canterbury University. During that time, I volunteered in east Christchurch for two years and after study, picked up a job at the Agape Trust in Aranui. What did the work at Agape involve? They do pretty much the same stuff as Te Ora Hou but on a smaller scale but they operate more on the east side. How did you get into the job? I had a really good friend who was working there at the time and she encouraged me to apply for a job there. I was a big part of Agape and that’s what excited me, with the chance of doing something different with a lot of resources and do other things was exciting. Agape was still an amazing place to work at though. My friend asked me about it three times before I applied it and then I got the job.

Where do you see yourself in the future? I don’t think about that much, but I hope I would still be doing what I am doing now. I just enjoy the moment and can’t imagine doing anything else, I enjoy working with youth, they make me feel young. What do you like to do away from work? I love spending time with my family. I get a lot out of spending time with them. I’m a Christian and go to church on the weekends and love being part of that community. I used to love sports too but haven’t been able to do much of that lately. How come? I’m in the process of being tested for a muscle issue. A couple of years back I got a really sore back and now we’ve gone through a process of elimination to find out what it is. It has taken a long time but they think I have fibromyalgia, which is basically pain in the muscles almost like arthritis. It’s like when you work out and the muscles go really tight but like that all of the time. So a lot of my time is spent at the physio and getting massages. Hopefully I don’t have it but oh well, life goes on. What sports were you in to? I loved touch and flag rugby and a big netball player. Just hasn’t really happened though and at Agape, we did a lot of outdoor activity and that was a big part of my daily routine and a lot of the programme was adventure-based learning. What is your favourite holiday destination? Usually within New Zealand, any other country I get a little anxious and I love things that are familiar. When you have such a beautiful country why would you go anywhere else? I do like Te Anau, my aunt and uncle live down there and Milford Sound is beautiful.

Tagger says: Stop now •From page 1 “It’d be a lot better to hand yourself in before they come looking for you, all for four or five letters with some coloured spray paint, it’s ridiculous the amount of trouble you can get in.” The man said he saw the memorial would have to be covered for the Anzac Day commemorations this year and decided he would turn himself into the police. At the time he was out of school and hanging around with guys who lead him down a path of tagging, stealing and damaging property. “When I was younger, I was easily lead and started hanging out with a group of mates and they had been doing it for quite a while. I never did it but got to the stage where I started and once I started I’m that guy that goes hard or goes home. I was a bit bored as a teenager and without really thinking headed out. I just thought it was an object”. He said the apology in front of the RSA committee members was not an easy thing to do. “It’s not a pleasant thing, I’ve stolen, tagged and dismantled and it was the first time I’ve ever faced a victim and it was a daunting last couple of days. It was pretty hard knowing it was coming up. “Once I’d been in there and fronted them it felt so much better. If I didn’t come forward and I got caught, there would have been serious repercussions and for the fellas who tagged down there (last week) there will be serious repercussions. “I hope this other young fella comes forward because it’ll be the best for everyone.” RSA president Bill Lochrie said the members accepted the apology. “We thought he had a lot of courage coming forward. He was genuinely remorseful

The Canterbury University student said he was still eligible for the under-20 side next year and wants to represent New Zealand next time round. He was not confident he would be picked in the final Samoan squad and was thrilled he made it. “I was overwhelmed, shocked, surprised. I was speechless for the whole day.” Elia said he was up against some stiff competition including players from Super Rugby teams’ academies. “It is going to be a great experience. It’s basically semi-professional rugby and it’s kind of a massive step up from playing for University and Canterbury sides. Representing my country is great for my rugby experience too and development as an individual. “It’s just about making my parents proud and getting my name out there. That’s what we like, to get my name out there and show how far we’ve come, even if it’s in Samoa or New Zealand.” Elia and Jackett were in Auckland last week as part of final training camp with the Samoan squad before heading to Italy. In the Samoans pool at the competition they have Australia first up before tackling South Africa and finally hosts, Italy.

Being physically active

creates beneﬁts people with high blood pressure, balance problems or difficulty walking. One of the great things about physical activity and exercise is that there are so many ways to be active. For example, you can be active in short spurts throughout the day, or you can set aside specific times of the day on specific days of the week to exercise. Many physical activities, such as brisk walking, gardening or taking the stairs whenever you can, are free or low-cost and do not require special equipment. You could also check out local community walking, tai chi or exercise groups.

egular exercise and activity are important to the physical and mental health of almost everyone, especially older adults. “Being physically active creates a long list of benefits and allows for people to stay independent as they grow older. However, many people consider themselves too old or too worn out to exercise, that was something they did when they were young,” says Richard

True

Hopkins of Physiotherapy Associates on Wainoni Road. Regular exercise and physical activity can reduce the risk of some developing diseases and disabilities that develop as people grow older. In some cases, exercise is an effective treatment for many chronic conditions. For example, studies show that people with arthritis, heart disease or diabetes benefit from regular exercise.

Make exercise/activity a priority Being active and exercising regularly can change your life. Start slow and build up your stamina, strength and frequency. The body’s capacity to adapt and improve with regular exercise diminishes little with age. Start by assessing yourself and think about your goals over time. Don’t push yourself; keep to a comfortable range of joint motion and effort to being slightly puffed. Start where you’re comfortable, but

start. It’s all about starting and being your biggest cheerleader at every small step and turn. Make it a game and keep a record of your daily activities on the calendar or in a diary so you can track your progress. Reward yourself with a friend or family outing, a movie, a new book or just a little something that motivates you to stay on track and continue your health regime. Don’t forget your food intake, when and where, how much you consume and the time of day all make a difference in your physical and mental health. Remember to use it or lose it. Enjoy your senior years. See Richard or Wendy at Physiotherapy Associates on Wainoni Rd to help work out an activity programme that suits you best. More than 50 years of experience you can trust.

The mashed potato must be free of seasonings, cream and butter. It should also be very well mashed and have a smooth consistency.

Place chocolate chips in a microwave-proof bowl. Melt on 50 per cent power for about 2 minutes. When completely melted, stir into mashed potato very well. Add vanilla essence and stir well again. The mixture should be smooth. Chill for 30 minutes. Cut ginger into thirds or quarters. Take a tablespoon of potato mixture and roll around a piece of ginger. Repeat with remaining mixture. Place on a plate and dust with dark cocoa powder. Roll into small balls. Dust with cocoa. Refrigerate until firm. Can be stored in fridge for up to one week. Makes 16.

the salty tang of the chips and the sweetness of the icecream is a taste treat. The potato is certainly common and a staple worldwide. They are cheap, hardy and easy to grow, and are high in starch, protein and vitamins. They are also versatile.

Seasonal as a migrating duck

About to head overseas, Delaney Davidson plays a free cabaret style concert at Gustav’s on Friday night. For this show Delaney says he will perform an evening of music tailored for the connoisseur. Slow Country Ballads, Waltzes, Epic Soundtrack Landscapes and his unique takes on several well known classics. “Expect memories and hypnosis, trance and the comfort of the familiar. The soothing ache of the Blues and the syrupy twang of the Country.” Seasonal as a migrating duck, Delaney is returning abroad to play a European circuit.

DELANEY DAVIDSON LIVE IN CONCERT Gustav's (The Tannery, Garlands Rd, Woolston) Friday 29th May. Music starts 9pm.
