Shop keen to undo ash for cash deal

The Press | 5:00AM - Monday, 28 December 2009

LIFTING THE LID: Pete Murray with the box which has been at The Pawn Shop for 13 years.
 — DAVID HALLETT/The Press.


A wooden box containing the remains of a leading Christchurch doctor remains unclaimed in a Christchurch pawn shop after 13 years.

A woman called Tamara Nathan brought the ashes to The Pawn Shop on December 28, 1996, as collateral for an $80 loan.

Shop employee Pete Murray, who has worked at the shop for 20 years, said Nathan was a Maori with a moko.

"It's not something we'd normally take, but the box was just amazing, a really nice antique," he said.

The loan was to be repaid after a month.

However, the small box was placed in storage when the woman failed to return.

A plaque on the box said it contained the ashes of Frederick (sic) Bevan-Brown, 1888-1934.

The name and dates match those of Dr Frederic Vivian Bevan-Brown, a physician and consultant who taught at Christchurch Hospital.

He served as a military doctor in World War I and worked at the Guy's Hospital in London.

According to an obituary in the British Medical Journal in 1934, Bevan-Brown taught a long series of house surgeons at Christchurch Hospital and was associated with St George's Hospital, the Karitane Hospital, and the St John Ambulance Association. He was a member of the chapter of Christ Church Cathedral.

The box containing the ashes has been in storage for 13 years, even surviving a store fire.

Murray found a receipt for the box while looking through records.

"I remembered about it and I looked to see if it was still around, and there it was."

Shop owner Gary Boote said the box of ashes was one of several interesting items people had used as loan collateral.

"We've had hearing aids, false teeth — we actually had someone's prosthetic leg once — and some bondage gear."

Boote said the shop often held onto items after their contract date if they were believed to be of sentimental value to the owner.

"If it's a TV or a stereo then you can just buy another, but if it's an antique or a heirloom, then when it's due we say ‘no, wait, wait, wait’." If the pawn shop opted to enforce its monthly interest rate, along with an administration fee, the owner would have to pay $1336 to get the ashes back.

However, Murray said his only concern was to return the ashes. "No, no, we couldn't charge them for it — we just want them to have it back."

Boote said the store would keep the ashes "as a talking point" if they were not claimed.

Mystery of man's ashes solved in Pawn Shop

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 5:49p.m.

By Lachlan Forsyth

It was a mystery for 13 years – a small wooden box, thought to contain the ashes of a distinguished Christchurch doctor; it was left with a Christchurch pawn shop and never collected.

Now the man's family have been located, although the box's contents were not quite what was expected.

It was Elspeth Williams who solved the mystery; in 1996 a small wooden box was used as collateral for an $80 loan by a woman named Tamara Nathan – she never returned for it.

For 13 years the box sat gathering dust, until it was discovered by an employee.

“Because it's not something that you could resell, we'd no wish to do that – you wouldn't do it anyway, so, it had been forgotten,” said Pete Murray of the Pawn Shop.

Then Ms Williams spied the strange tale in the newspaper.

“So I was astonished and I came down because I thought 'well he must be properly interred'!” said Ms Williams.

She had recognised the name as an old family friend, and got in touch with a surviving relative.

Engraved with the name Dr Frederick Vivian Bevan-Brown, known as Fritz, it was thought to contain his mortal remains.

“But now, when I look at it, I don't think it is his ashes, and I think he has been properly interred,” said Ms Williams.

And she is right. What it turned out to be was a lamp – a lamp that identifies the owner as belonging to a charitable society known as Toch, a bit like the Rotary or Lions clubs.

That original loan to Tamara Nathan has swollen to $1400, but the Pawn Shop was happy to gift the box back.

“She didn’t know about this, and now we've just sort of completed a circle, or cycle, or whatever it is! Oh no, no it's good. It's nice to be nice!” said Mr Murray.

That mystery solved – one remains.

Who was Tamara Nathan and how did she get hold of Fritz's lamp?

NZ bumblebees to repopulate motherland
Mon, 28 Dec 2009 5:56p.m.
By Lachlan Forsyth


Mon, 28 Dec 2009 5:56p.m.
By Lachlan Forsyth

New Zealand has many examples of introduced species, some wanted, most unwanted.

But there are not so many examples of those species being taken back once they are here.

Now an ambitious, first of its kind project is planning to relocate introduced bumblebees back to the mother country.

Introduced from the UK 100 years ago, the short-tailed bumblebee has made itself quite at home in the MacKenzie Country.

But, sadly, these hairy little beasts are now extinct in their homeland.

“Since the end of the second world war, farmers were given grants to just plough up every available space in the UK and, of course, intensive farming follows with pesticides, fertilisers, this basically meant there wasn't enough forage for a lot of our bumblebees,” says Nikki Gammans of the Bumblebees Conservation Trust.

The irony being bumblebees are a farmers best friend.

“To the European economy, they're actually worth about $14 billion Euros,” says Ms Gammans.

“They're incredibly important and they pollinate many of our strawberries, our cherries and our tomatoes.”

Ninety eight percent of the UK’s meadows have been lost, affecting more than just bees.

“With the loss of the flowers meant the loss of the bees along with other wildlife,” says Rob Jones of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

Now Project Bumblebee is aiming to repopulate England's meadows.

These MacKenzie Country bumbles are perfect – they are the direct descendants of the original imports.

Once collected, they are put into hibernation and taken to Christchurch where they will be used to breed a colony of queen bees for reintroduction.

Project members say the UK's experience should provide an important lesson.

“The bumblebee is a key species because it's part of that pollination chain and without it we wouldn't have our foods. So it's a big message for New Zealand, a big message for the world really,” says Mr Jones.

With several very similar-looking species, the bumble hunters have their work cut out.

“They've all got this black notch and yellow bar beneath the head and that's the thing I'm looking for first,” says Andy Tebbs, a Project Bumblebee volunteer.

Once captured, the high country bumblebees from New Zealand will be able to do their bit to restore Britain's biodiversity.

On a slightly more cynical note, I hope we are charging them like a wounded bull.  They killed them, they destroyed their crop and wildlife infrastructure.  The bumbles are worth 14billion Euro's to them.  With the way they treat NZ imports, they should be made to pay a hefty price.

America's most wanted: doctor found living in tent on Mont Blanc
• Missing man faces fraud trial after five years on run
• Fugitive lived on tinned food and melted snow


John Hooper in Rome
guardian.co.uk, Thursday 17 December 2009 20.06 GMT
On 21 September 2004, Michelle Weinberger woke up on the 79ft powerboat that she and her husband, Mark, owned as it rocked gently in the waters of a marina on the Greek island of Mykonos.

"I put my hand on his side of the bed, and I remember feeling it empty," she later told the US television channel NBC. Weinberger leapt from bed in alarm to find that her husband had vanished, taking with him his passport and money he had stashed secretly on board.

It was the beginning of a five-year flight from justice that ended this week even more strangely than it began, almost 6,000 feet up in the Italian Alps. Two officers of the paramilitary Carabinieri, led by a mountain guide, trudged up to the southern slopes of Mont Blanc to find one of America's most wanted fugitives living in a tent. He was surviving in temperatures as low as -18C on dried and tinned food and snow he melted on a portable stove.

Dr Mark Weinberger, a 46-year-old ear, nose and throat specialist, was tonight in a secure ward at the Molinette hospital in Turin recovering from a wound he sustained when he tried to take his own life at the Carabinieri station in Courmayeur, below Mont Blanc.

The US authorities have 40 days in which to apply for his extradition. He faces trial on 22 counts of healthcare fraud, having previously been indicted by a grand jury.

Brought up in a prosperous New York suburb, Weinberger was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and the UCLA medical school. He later worked with one of Chicago's most renowned plastic surgeons before opening his own practice, the Weinberger Sinus Clinic, in Merrillville, Indiana.

The "nose doctor", as he came to be known, met his future wife, 12 years his junior, in 2000. "He just swept me off my feet," she said. "He was the kindest, most gentle man I had ever met."

Weinberger proposed to her eight months later in a Rome piazza while on holiday, and they were married in characteristically ostentatious style in three separate ceremonies in the US and Italy in 2001.

Michelle Weinberger later said she reckoned her husband was earning $200,000 (£124,000) a week, performing between seven and 15 operations.

They owned a house in a wealthy lakeside neighbourhood of Chicago. Mark Weinberger travelled to and from his surgery in a chauffeur-driven limousine. He employed maids, cooks, a personal trainer and a skipper for his boat. Every month, his wife recalled, he would take 10 days off to enjoy his seemingly abundant income, often jetting off to Europe to indulge a passion for idling in the Mediterranean.

The first hint of trouble emerged in October 2002 when a lawyer acting for the estate of a woman who had died of throat cancer filed a complaint with the Indiana department of insurance. The complaint claimed Weinberger failed to diagnose her cancer and instead carried out an unnecessary operation on her sinuses that was paid for by her insurance company.

The lawyer said he was subsequently contacted by dozens of the doctor's former patients who alleged that they too had had surgery they suspected was unnecessary. A similar complaint was filed by a second attorney on behalf of 25 former patients.

As the malpractice suits piled up, Weinberger arranged what he said would be a very special 30th birthday party for his wife. He flew her, her mother and three friends out to the Greek islands and promised her a present that would be "something that only the movie stars have". Before disappearing, he bought her two expensive diamonds.

It was small recompense, though, for what she was about to discover. The unpaid berthing fees on Mykonos alone came to $40,000. Their boat was seized by the Greek authorities. Weinberger's practice owed $5.7m and was eventually auctioned to meet his debts.

But the oddest discovery, and one that perhaps holds the key to his life on the run, was that the doctor had a room at his clinic which his employees dubbed "the scary room". It was crammed with survival gear. And the equipment, including even a water filtration system, had been shipped to Europe before he left.

The fugitive surgeon was sought by the FBI. He featured more than once on the Fox television show America's Most Wanted, and was supposedly sighted as far away as China. His wife continued to defend him after he vanished.

"I hope he's safe, and I still love him," she told the Chicago Tribune in October 2004, adding: "We can relocate. We can live on an island in a hut." The Carabinieri who lifted the flap of Weinberger's tent on Tuesday morning had been alerted to his presence by a mountain guide, an Italian police official said. They did not immediately reveal that they suspected his identity. They said they had used an excuse to convince him to accompany them to Courmayeur and that Weinberger tried to persuade them he just "wanted to live a life in the wild".

After it became clear that they knew who he was, the runaway doctor asked to go to the lavatory. There, he whipped out a tiny knife he had secreted in his underwear and plunged it into his throat. But despite being an expert surgeon, he missed the artery he appeared to be aiming for, and the Carabinieri hustled him away for first aid.

Wreaths found on road

Christchurch police are asking anyone who is missing a Christmas wreath to contact them, after 12 were found on the side of a road.

The large wreaths were discovered on Totara Street in suburban Fendalton this morning, Constable Graham Morgan of Papanui police said.

It appeared they were taken during the night, he said.
"They are in good condition and will be missed by their owners. They will likely come from nearby."

Anyone who had lost a wreath from their front door or property was asked to contact the Papanui police station.

Errant Chinese smoker stops world's fastest train

BEIJING (Reuters Life!) - The world's fastest train hit its first speed bump in the form of a disobedient smoker less than a week after it began running in southern China.

A cigarette triggered an alarm that forced a two-and-a-half hour stoppage, nearly as long as the train takes to cover the 1,100 kilometer (684 mile) distance between Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, and the central city of Wuhan.

Managers of the bullet train, which debuted on Saturday, were unable to catch the smoker who fled the scene before the alarm sounded, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Wednesday.
"Smoking is strictly forbidden on the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed train, even in the toilet," a spokesman with the Guangzhou Railway Group Corporation was quoted as saying. "It could trigger the alarm and even cause equipment failures."

The train was in the Guangzhou rail station when it was delayed and had not yet begun its 350-km-per-hour journey, Xinhua added.

A British man is the proud owner of a new land-speed record — on a lawnmower.

Don Wales yesterday cut the record, after first cutting a patch of grass to prove he was riding a lawnmower, recording an average speed of 138.5km/h on Pendine Sands in Wales.

He broke the record set in 2006 by Bob Cleveland on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, the BBC reported.

Mr Wales and his team are expected to return today in a bid to crack the 100mph barrier (160.9km/h).

Don's uncle, Sir Donald Campbell, and grandfather Sir Malcolm Campbell, between them broke more than 20 land and water speed records — none on a lawnmower.

Woolf rushes to emu roundup

Emu does Roadrunner act in Marlborough

By BLAIR ENSOR - The Marlborough Express | 12 NOON - Tuesday, 02 November 2010

ROAD RUNNER: This emu reportedly reached speeds up to 30km/h as it ran 7km along the bays before being apprehended.
ROAD RUNNER: This emu reportedly reached speeds up to 30km/h
as it ran 7km along the bays before being apprehended.


A RAMPANT EMU chased children and reportedly reached speeds of 30km/h after it escaped from a farm in the Marlborough Sounds on Saturday.

Constable Jeff Woolf, of Picton, said he was called after reports from a tourist of a distressed emu running along the road at Ocean Bay, Port Underwood, about 4pm.

By the time Mr Woolf drove from Picton the emu had run seven bays north, about seven kilometres, to Hakahaka Bay.

Along the way it chased a group of children, he said.

A group of locals eventually herded the bird into a paddock and were going to call its owner.

"In 14 years on the job it's the most unusual call I've ever had."

"I felt like I was watching the Road Runner cartoon. Because my surname is Woolf ... I felt like Wile E Coyote."

While the callout was humorous the end result could have been a lot worse, he said.

"Like any livestock on the road, if they get out they can get quite hazardous. If someone had swerved to avoid an emu [and crashed] they could have been injured."

The owner of the emu could not be contacted this morning.

Curious case of Coast giraffe

The Press | 5:00AM - Wednesday, 03 November 2010

TALL TALE: An image of “Woody the giraffe” which is for sale on Trade Me.
TALL TALE: An image of “Woody the giraffe” which is for sale on Trade Me.

A TALL STORY of a "traumatised giraffe" found on a West Coast beach has become an online curiosity.

A Trade Me seller called Flyingimage is auctioning Woody a "giraffe who fell from a passing circus ship" and swam ashore.

To some, Woody may appear to be a curiously shaped piece of driftwood.

However, Woody comes with a tall story. Flyingimage said the giraffe had been "spotting for whitebait" on the West Coast.

"Befriended by baiters who took advantage of her great height, she was abandoned when the bait stopped running. I found her two weeks ago, near death," the seller said.

Since bringing Woody to Christchurch, the giraffe had become traumatised with the earthquake aftershocks, Flyingimage said.

"She needs a stable environment and lots of love."

The quirky listing has been viewed over 2000 times.

Bids were up to $17 yesterday. The auction closes on Friday at 9am.

Woody finds a new home

By CHARLIE GATES - The Press | 1:34PM - Friday, 05 November 2010

BISHOP'S CROOK? “Woody the giraffe” has a new home at Christchurch Cathedral.
BISHOP'S CROOK? “Woody the giraffe” has a new home at Christchurch Cathedral.

WITH HER LONG NOSE and curved neck, Woody the giraffe may have found the perfect vocation: a bishop's crook.

The giraffe-shaped piece of West Coast driftwood was named Woody and sold on TradeMe this week for $41.

The buyer, Christ Church Cathedral administration manager Chris Oldham, hopes Woody can become a novel crook.

He plans to persuade Anglican Bishop Victoria Matthews to use Woody as a crook during the children's Christmas service, which traditionally features live animals like donkeys and sheep.

"We are hoping she will make an appearance at the children's Christmas service. If we can persuade the bishop to use Woody as a crook we will," he said.

Oldham said he wanted to buy Woody to make sure she stayed in Christchurch.

"We couldn't let Auckland get hold of her."

The TradeMe auction attracted more than 5,000 views before it closed at 9am yesterday.

Seller Craig Dixon, who also works at Christ Church Cathedral, said he would donate the $41 to Orana Wildlife Park.

"It wasn't about the money, it was about giving Woody a good home. I will probably donate all $41 to Orana Wildlife Park. The animals have suffered out there, but all the emphasis after the quake has been on people," he said.

Spaghetti blamed for fatal crash

By KURT BAYER - APNZ | 4:01PM - Wednesday, June 19, 2013



A GERMAN DRIVER was getting ready to eat spaghetti at the wheel when his stationwagon crashed head-on with a ute, killing him and a fellow tourist, an inquest has found.

German man Onur Gulmez, 28, was travelling from Blenheim to Nelson with Frenchman Paul Joubert who was sleeping on a makeshift bed in the back of their car when the fatal smash occurred last December.

Another German tourist, Kathrin Bongard, was sleeping in the front seat when Mr Gulmez crossed the centreline and hit an oncoming ute.

Her life was saved by her seatbelt, but her travelling companions were killed in the crash on State Highway 6, near Rai Valley about halfway between Nelson and Blenheim.

"I believe the crash happened because Onur was distracted while preparing to eat spaghetti," said Coroner Tim Scott in a finding released today.

Both men died as a result of their crash injuries.

Mr Gulmez and Mr Joubert had been travelling around New Zealand independently, but met in Wellington and agreed to travel from there to Nelson together.

The inquest heard that Mr Gulmez's car, a 1992 Mitsubishi RVR stationwagon, had been modified — likely before he bought it.

The rear seats had been removed and replaced with a piece of particle board so that luggage could be stored underneath and passengers could sit or lie unrestrained on top.

It was there that Mr Joubert had been sleeping when the crash happened on the morning of December 5th.

Coroner Scott heard that they had been travelling behind a truck in a line of traffic when the car did "a bit of a zig-zag", according to witnesses.

Around 34 metres before the impact area, police crash investigator Senior Constable Simon Burbery found a ‘seal push’ — a raised ridge of tar-seal just to the right of the left-hand white fog line often caused by hot weather.

He said driving along the ridge surface at the road edge could have an "unsettling effect" on drivers.

Coroner Scott agreed that it likely played a part in the fatal smash, as Mr Gulmez drove onto it while he distracted by preparing to eat spaghetti.

"He was not concentrating on driving and the car drifted left, hitting the area of seal push," Coroner Scott said.

"This caused a wobble or a shimmy and the combined effect of this plus the general lack of concentration while preparing to eat the spaghetti caused Onur to lose control of the car. It veered right and collided with the approaching utility vehicle."

Coroner Scott said the New Zealand Land Transport Authority may consider issues in his finding relating to seal push.

While they may already be aware of the phenomenon and will address it "as and when appropriate", he hoped they would take on board his comments that it caused or contributed to this crash.

The coroner offered his sincere sympathy and condolences to both families of "young men who died so far from home".
