Z Downplays Discount Scam 100 Millimetres Below the Drop of the Kellys’ House,’’ Scott Said THE PRESS, Christchurch Friday, October 3, 2014 NEWS A3 New wharf under way NEWS BRIEFS Surveyor Night moves ❯❯❯❯ State Highway 6 through Haast Pass is expected to be open again at nights in a month’s time, 14 months after it was closed by a slip. A storm on September 10 2013 brought more than 40,000 cubic metres of rock defends and debris onto the highway at Diana Falls. Canadian tourists Connor Hayes, 25, and Joanna Lam, 24, died when their rented campervan was swept away by a second slip about 800m away. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) stance anticipated the road would be reopened at night from November 5, although remaining work would likely restrict two-lane access for a while longer. Since last September the road has been closed every night and has closed on at least four occasions on EQC this year because of severe weather.

Robert John Witty (‘Peter’ to his friends) was born in Nelson in 1913 and attended Christchurch Boys’ High School, College House and Canterbury College. Ordained priest in 1940, he was Vicar of New Brighton, St. Luke’s and Lyttelton. He reached the position of Archdeacon. Director of the British Sailors’ Society from 1945 till his death, he was, in 1976, awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for his work with seamen. Unofficial exorcist of the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, Witty did not look for customers; rather they found him. He said of one Catholic lady: “Her priest put her on to me; they have a habit of doing that”. Problems included poltergeists, shuffling sounds, knockings, tapping, steps tramping up and down stairways and corridors, pictures turning to face the wall, cold patches of air and draughts. Witty heard the ringing of Victorian bells - which no longer existed - in the hallway of St. Luke’s vicarage. He thought that the bells were rung by the shade of the Rev. Arthur Lingard who came home to die at the vicarage then occupied by his parents, Eleanor and Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard. In fact, Arthur was moved to Miss Stronach’s private hospital where he died on 23 December 1899.

  • Its All Happening Just When You Thought Things Were Winding Down
    Its All Happening Just when you thought things were winding down for the year and there would be only holiday racing to concentrate on, a couple of recent important announcements have rather re-focussed the mind. First of all, and definitely most importantly, a successor to Edward Rennell has been announced. As I’ve said earlier, Edward leaves a massive pair for shoes to fill, and I know that, for years to come, his legacy will be felt in many different ways. My main concern about his replacement was that it would be someone who didn’t have the same passion and love for harness racing that he undoubtedly possessed. It was with relief then, that Peter Jensen was selected to take the reins, because he is yet another whose passion for our industry is without question. Having known Peter on both a personal and business basis for many years, he will bring skills and experience to the role that will be sorely needed in the difficult times ahead. Having attended a number of meetings he has had with the Trainers & Drivers Greater Canterbury Branch since he took over at Addington, it is clear that he made a favourable impression on some folk in our game who are not easily impressed, with his considered approach and willingness to at least listen to concerns, at the same time making no promises. The other announcement, this time from the Government, was the naming of those to be involved in the Ministerial Advisory Committee. Fearing that this body would be heavily slanted in favour of our sister code, it was pleasing to see that, with the obvious exception of Sir Peter Vela, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) was established under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 to assist with the Government's response to the devastating Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. After five years of operation, CERA was disestablished on 18 April 2016. 1.2 Within CERA, the Implementation/Central City Development Unit (CCDU) set out to drive the rebuild of central Christchurch. The Investment Strategy group sat within that unit and was responsible for retaining, promoting and attracting investment in Christchurch. 1.3 In early 2017, investigative journalist Martin van Beynen published a series of articles on alleged conflicts of interest within CERA and CCDU. Due to the serious allegations raised, the State Services Commissioner appointed me to undertake this Inquiry on his behalf on 7 February 2017 pursuant to sections 23(1) and 25(2) of the State Sector Act 1988.

  • Fairfax/NZME – Response to Questions Arising from the Conference
    1 PUBLIC VERSION NZME AND FAIRFAX RESPONSE TO COMMERCE COMMISSION QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE CONFERENCE ON 6 AND 7 DECEMBER 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. During its recent Conference held on 6 and 7 December 2016, the Commissioners asked the parties to follow up on a number of points. This paper sets out the parties' responses on those questions, and also provides answers to some further follow-up questions that the parties have received since the Conference. 2. The main points that this response covers are as follows: (a) Inefficient duplication of commodity news (external plurality): The Commissioners asked the parties to produce examples of "commodity" news coverage as between the five main media organisations being similar ("digger hits bridge" was provided as an example of where all the major media organisations covered effectively the same point). Reducing that duplication will be efficiency enhancing and will not materially detract from the volume or quality of news coverage. (b) A wide variety of perspectives are covered within each publication (internal plurality): The editors provided the Commission with examples of how each publication covers a wide variety of perspectives, as that is what attracts the greatest audience. This is true both within and across each of the parties' publications. The Commission asked for examples, which are provided in this response, together with additional material about why those incentives do not change post-Merger. (c) Constitutional safeguards on editorial independence: The Commissioners asked about what existing structures protected editorial independence and balance and fairness in reporting. This was asked both in the context of a possible future sale of Fairfax's stake, and in the context of the protections available to those subject to negative reporting seeking fairness and balance.

    DISTRICT PLAN – LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE ST PETER’S CHURCH, - 24 MAIN SOUTH ROAD; PART OF 25, 25A YALDHURST ROAD, CHRISTCHURCH St Peter’s Church is western Christchurch's original Anglican Church. Consecrated in 1858 it was the second church to be consecrated by Bishop Harper, after he arrived in Canterbury in 1857. In 1852 the then vicar of St Michael's, Archdeacon Mathias, gifted twenty acres for the establishment of a church. It was not until 1857 however that the Parish of Riccarton was defined, a first vicar appointed, and a church building begun. The first vicar, Rev. Croasdaile Bowen, was ordained by Bishop Harper in 1857 in his first ordination for the new diocese of Canterbury. Bowen's new parish initially covered the entire western part of Christchurch and its hinterland, and was later enlarged to include Governors Bay and Little River. As the main Anglican Church west of the city, St Peter’s attracted a large congregation including many well-known early colonists and public figures. The original church proved inadequate for the needs of the growing congregation and was enlarged in 1860 and 1861. The oldest surviving portion of the present church is the Early English style chancel, added in 1875.
