Sports mum’s proud moment Ratepayers 

to fund 

$3500 ticket 

conference 

For years Angela Dixon – like tens of thousands 

of other Canterbury mums – cooked for her two 

sons and washed their muddy gear after Saturday 

sport. Last weekend, one of her boys Elliot (above 

with his son Huxley) made his debut for the All 

Blacks, against Wales. It’s been a long journey 

from his days with Suburbs (right). Angela talks 

to reporter Gabrielle Stuart (pages 4 & 5) about a 

mum’s journey.

RATEPAYERS HAVE put 

$70,000 toward an American 

conference in Christchurch this 

year, which charges up to $3495 

for tickets. 

SingularityU is a Silicone 

Valley corporation which looks 

into fast-growing technologies 

and how they are likely to 

change the economy, society 

and the job market. 

The three-day summit in 

November is the 

first to be held in 

Australasia, and is 

organised by Ministry 

of Awesome cofounder 

Kaila Colbin 

(right). 

The city council 

approved the grant, 

which is from its Capital Endowment 

Fund, behind closed 

doors. 

The funds will help to provide 

scholarship tickets to Cantabrians 

who apply for them. 

Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck 

said the city council often supported 

events which brought 

people to Christchurch and 

added value to the city, and she 

believed it was a good use of 

money. 

But former city councillor 

Aaron Keown said the public 

hadn’t been allowed to judge 

if it was good use of money, 

because it was decided behind 

closed doors. 

“If the council is going to 

spend ratepayer money on 

these conferences, they need to 

be open and transparent and 

stick to the process.” 

Cr Buck worked with Ms 

Colbin to start the Ministry of 

Awesome, but she said there was 

no conflict of interest there. 

“She happens to be one of 

those people who do an amazing 

amount for the city, 

and I happen to know 

quite a lot of those people,” 

she said. 

SingularityU was a nonprofit 

organisation until 

2013, but now functions 

as a business. 

But Ms Colbin said the 

summit was not there to make 

money. 

“I have worked for free for 

over a year to get this off the 

ground, and my current salary 

is under the median salary in 

Christchurch. So no one is doing 

this to get rich.” 

She said her goal was to 

share information she believed 

was vital with small business 

owners and entrepreneurs in 

Christchurch who could not 

afford to go to conferences 

overseas.

News..................................... 3-11 

THE DIXONS are one heck of 

a proud family this week after 

their boy Elliot made his All 

Blacks debut against Wales at 

the weekend. 

Canterbury born and bred, 

he now bases himself with the 

Highlanders in Super Rugby and 

Southland in the NPC. 

On pages 4-5 reporter 

Gabrielle Stuart catches up with 

Elliot’s mum, Angela. 

She’s spent many years – with 

proud husband and dad Chris 

of course – watching from the 

sidelines as Elliot and his older 

brother Jon, played sport, and 

came home covered in mud. 

No doubt it was Angela who 

got that gear clean again for the 

next weekend’s match, just like 

countless other mums in the 

same sporting boat as their kids 

grow up. 

And also on the mum theme, 

on pages 6-7, we look at those in 

the city who are Instagraming, 

Snapchatting and Facebooking 

their children. 

And I met a very special mum 

on an island just off Brisbane a 

couple of weekends ago (see page

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw Canterbury’s first 

recorded armed robbery on June 27, 1846, 

when three people held up and ransacked 

the Greenwood brother’s farm at Purau. 

On June 27, 1964, large crowds welcomed 

the Beatles to Christchurch. On June 28, 

1869, what was probably New Zealand’s 

first bicycle, the Velocipede or “boneshaker” 

was tried out on city streets by its 

maker, coachbuilder Henry Wagstaff. June 

30, 1849, was also a significant date for our 

burgeoning nation, when the New Zealand 

Company bought the remaining French 

interests at Akaroa from the Nanto-Bordelaise 

Company.

Naz’s ex-boyfriend up for grabs 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

THE CHRISTCHURCH man 

dubbed “the other Jordan” is 

hoping to find the “opposite of 

Naz” this weekend when he is 

auctioned off for charity. 

High School Old Boys’ Rugby 

Football Club is holding its annual 

Ladies Night and Bachelor 

Auction on Saturday, with all 

the proceeds going to the New 

Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation. 

Jordan Reid, the ex-boyfriend 

of The Bachelor NZ runner-up 

Naz Khanjani, will be one of 

eight players being auctioned 

off. 

But he hopes the highest bidder 

will not be like his ex-flame. 

“You could say the opposite to 

Naz. I’m not hoping, I’m available 

and anything’s possible.” 


CANTABRIANS ARE, on 

average, the wealthiest in the 

country, according to new 

statistics – but that does not 

appear to trickle down to 

people on low incomes. 

The average household 

net worth in Canterbury is 

$348,000, compared with 

$330,000 in Auckland and 

$262,000 in Wellington. 

The figures, which are collected 

by Statistics NZ, also 

show a growing gap between 

the rich and the poor. 

Nationally, they show people 

in the top 10 per cent held 60 

per cent of wealth, while the 

bottom 40 per cent had just 3 

per cent of wealth. 

Regional inequality was not 

measured, but 

Christchurch 

Budget Services 

chairman Don 

Johnson (left) said 

the growing number 

of Cantabrians 

using the service 

showed many were struggling. 

He said the past year had 

been the busiest since the service 

started in 1967. 

“There has been a big increase 

in what we would call the 

bottom end, but there are also 

people who are on a decent 

wage but are struggling.” 

With a lot of money coming 

in through the rebuild and 

rental prices flattening, he said 

he expected people to be better 

off. 

But that money did not seem 

to be trickling down to those on 

low incomes, he said. 

The figures showed Cantabrians 

tend to have less debt, 

with the average household 

liability $57,000, compared with 

$100,000 in Auckland. 

But that is likely to reflect 

higher house prices in Auckland, 

as the average Aucklander 

had more value in assets than 

The 25-year-old painter 

and decorator shot into the 

spotlight after the show’s season 

finale in May, when he posted 

screen shots of messages between 

him and Ms Khanjani on 

Facebook. 

In them, Ms Khanjani 

claimed she “wasn’t that into” 

bachelor Jordan Mauger, and 

she “never slept with him”. 

But she told a different story 

while being interviewed on 

radio shows, and the pair have 

not spoken since. 

Mr Reid, said he met Ms 

Khanjani while out in town 

before she left to shoot the show. 

The plan was to get back together 

because she did not want 

to win, he said. 

But she was very different on 

television compared to how he 

had seen her around his mates. 

“Seeing her on TV was like, 

wow. After the first episode, I 

stopped watching it.” 

The highest bidders at Saturday’s 

auction will be treated to 

pampering in the VIP area with 

their men, including free champagne, 

massages and gift bags.

News 

Years of washing and cooking for 

Tens of thousands of Canterbury sporting mums 

get their kids ready for sport on a Saturday morning, 

and then deal with the week-in, week-out aftermath 

– muddy gear. On Saturday Angela Dixon was with 

husband and proud dad Chris Dixon watching their 

once little boy Elliot make his debut for the All Blacks. 

Gabrielle Stuart reports 

SITTING IN the stand watching 

her son run onto the field in an 

All Blacks jersey on Saturday was 

one of the proudest moments of 

Angela Dixon’s life. 

But privately, she still wonders: 

Did she let him start rugby too 

young? 

Was it good for him, while 

growing up, to spend every weekend 

playing sport? 

Is it worth the risk he could be 

badly injured? 

Watching her boy line up to 

sing the anthem and perform 

the haka, she had to 

surreptitiously wipe away a tear 

or two. 

But after kick-off she was too 

nervous to enjoy it, she said. 

Every time her son hit the 

ground she was on the edge of 

her seat. 

“When he took a big tackle all 

I was thinking was is he getting 

up, is he getting up. I was saying 

to my husband, where is he, looking 

for his number. 

“When I’m getting too worked 

up I have to take myself away to 

the ladies and take a minute to 

settle myself. It is nerve-racking. 

They’re always your little boy, it 

doesn’t matter if they’re six foot 

four.” 

She said she watched his big 

games again on replay the next 

day, as she could only relax and 

enjoy it once she knew he would 

be okay. 

That constant fear he would 

get hurt was something that had 

plagued her since he started playing, 

at just four years old. 

He played his first matches for 

Suburbs, his older brother, Jon’s, 

team. 

She said Elliot was much 

smaller than the other children, 

who were mostly five or six, but 

PROUD: Although her son has been playing rugby 

professionally for years, Angela Dixon said she still sent him 

advice before games.

he was determined to play. 

“We used to call him radar, 

because even as a little boy he 

would see someone from across 

the field and jump on their back 

and take them down, it didn’t

matter how big they were. You’d 

see him lining them up.” 

Between the two boys, her 

weekends quickly filled up with 

sport. 

Summer or winter, both Saturday 

and Sunday mornings were 

spent yelling encouragement 

from the sidelines, with oranges 

or jet-plane lollies ready for the 

boys at half-time. 

Then it was straight into the 

car to head to the next sport or 

competition. 

The hours after school were 

just as full on, as the boys met up 

at the park or in the backyard to 

play. 

She said she had lost track of 

the number of windows they 

broke, or clothes that came home 

grass-stained. 

“I used to call the laundry my 

office, because I spent such a lot 

of time doing washing. And the 

cooking! They used to have competitions 

to see who could eat the 

most, they’d have eight Weet-bix 

in their plate.” 

All the boys wanted to do was 

play sport, but she worried sometimes 

about how much of their 

time it took up. 

“They missed out on things like 

going fishing together. I remember 

saying to Chris, we can’t get 

off this roundabout, can we?” 

She said Elliot was a great runner 

and good at most sports, but 

rugby was always his passion.

a cause – sport 

“We tried to get Elliot to play 

cricket, but it was too slow for him. 

He cried, he didn’t like it at all.” 

She said he loved the physicality 

of rugby, even though he was 

a “spindly little fella” until he 

shot up at about 16. 

He played for St Bede’s College, 

and made the New Zealand 

Schools squad which toured 

Australia in 2007. 

She said she had mixed feelings 

about him pursuing a rugby 

career. 

“We often said you can’t just 

play rugby, Elliot. You’ve got to 

do something, because in rugby 

you’re only as good as your last 

game or your last injury.” 

She said none of his successes 

came easy. 

His dream was to play for 

Canterbury, but they told him 

although he was a good player 

they didn’t have room for him on 

the squad, she said. 

He was offered a spot in Southland 

when he was 19, and he was 

torn over it. 

“At 19 I didn’t want to say see 

you later. But he said: ‘Mum, 

what should I do?’ And I said go 

for it.” 

She said she continued to give 

him advice, whether or not he appreciated 

it. 

“I’ll send him a text before the 

match saying have a good game, 

get out there, contest that lineout. 

He must think that’s enough, 

mum, but he’s good about it. He 

always says thanks, mum.” 

Before the test against Wales 

she met up with him and wanted 

to discuss tactics. 

“He said: ‘It’s just another 

game, mum, I don’t want to talk 

about rugby’.” 

She said he had always been shy 

about public speaking, so watching 

him speaking in interviews 

before and after the match made 

her incredibly proud. 

She said he was very humble, 

and was careful not to let his success 

go to his head. 

HUMBLE: Elliot Dixon 

made his debut for 

the All Blacks against 

Wales last weekend. 

She expected the birth of his 

son, Huxley, who is now one, 

to distract him from his rugby, 

but she said he was even more 

focused. 

“Huxley was not the best 

sleeper, so between the lack of 

sleep and the stress I was expecting 

it to be tough. But he just gets 

out and plays harder.” 

And no matter how nervous it 

made her, she planned to be at as 

many of his matches as she could, 

cheering her son on. 

“It’s quite funny standing there 

talking to men who think you 

don’t know what you’re talking 

about. It’s like really, I’ve watched 

more rugby matches than you’ve 

had hot dinners.” 

Ten things you need to 

know about Elliot Dixon who 

became All Black 1149 on 

Saturday against Wales. 

1 The 26-year-old rose 

through the Canterbury 

system but the national 

age group star quit for 

Southland in late 2009. “I 

thought I’d try to get some 

NPC game time rather than 

wait another three years or 

something in Canterbury,” 

he said at the time. 

2 Dixon came to prominence 

while playing for 

St Bede’s College, the 

Christchurch school whose 

other All Blacks include Jon 

Preston, Andy Earl, Vance 

Stewart, and current Chiefs 

assistant Kieran Keane. 

3 There were tears all 

round when he told his 

parents of selection in the 

squad to play Wales. “They 

started crying, which was 

quite emotional for me as 

well.’’ 

4 Dixon made the 2007 

national schools side which 

played Samoa and Australia. 

His teammates included 

current All Blacks Tawera 

Kerr-Barlow and Charlie 

Ngatai. 

5 He came off the bench 

in the under-20 World Cup 

side when they beat England 

in the 2009 final 

in Japan. 

6 Partner Paige Smith 

gave birth to their first child 

Huxley in June last year and 

they have another boy on 

the way. 

7 Dixon was man-of-thematch 

when the Highlanders 

beat the Hurricanes in 

last year’s Super Rugby 

final. The highlight: he 

initially beat a couple of defenders 

on a 20m run which 

ended with him scoring in 

a pile of five defenders. TV 

commentator Ian Smith 

reckoned it was a big game 

moment which “says to 

people higher up I’m ready 

if you want me”. 

8 Dixon’s heritage is 

Ngapuhi – the Northland 

iwi – and he first played 

for New Zealand Maori in 

2012. His family comes from 

around the Waimamaku 

Valley in Hokianga and he is 

part of the Paniora whanau. 

9 When asked what 

he would be doing if he 

wasn’t a rugby professional, 

Dixon replied: “I would be 

poor.” 

10 Dixon’s trademark look 

involves a thick band of 

black electrical tape around 

his head. When praised for 

the look, Dixon tweeted: 

“thanks for the love of my 

head band a lot goes into 

it. Time and effort. Glad it’s 

finally paying off”.

to keep them entertained, and 

their mother snaps photos – 

hundreds in quick succession. 

A couple of minutes pass 

by. The children start to get 

restless. Their mother puts the 

camera down and gives them 

cuddles, saying “well done, 

wasn’t that fun”. 

Later on, she will carefully 

select, edit and upload 

some of the photos for 

her 6000-plus social 

media followers. 

Sue Chapman is an 

Instagram mum. 

It’s all part of being a 

new-generation Snapchatting, 

Facebooking, 

Instagram-uploading 

parent, she explains. 

“Instagram is being 

talked about as ‘Tinder 

for mums’. I’ve got friends on 

Instagram who I’ve never even 

met, and that sounds crazy to 

some people.” 

Mrs Chapman regularly takes 

photos of her children – Lily, 

INSTAGRAM MUM: Sue Chapman’s (left) children Cora, 2, and Beck, 

nine-months-old, are captured sitting still for a rare moment. 

13, Cora, 2, 

and Beck, ninemonths-old 

– and uploads 

them to her social media 

under the name “Chasing the 

Chapmans”. 

She is careful to stress that 

the children only feature if they 

want to: “Lily doesn’t feature 

very much as she’s the eldest 

and she doesn’t want to. I would 

never, ever take photos if they 

didn’t like it or were upset.” 

She is also aware that the 

photos are contrived: “Of course 

these photos are staged – my 

kids don’t lie around on a white 

rug all day. When people ask if 

my life is really like that, I’ll be 

like ‘Oh, please’ and send them 

a photo of the current situation, 

the mess.” 

The at-home mother, 33, says 

the social media facet of her life 

was developed when she started 

an online ethical, organic baby 

clothing store.

Engineering group 

tightens code of ethics 

• By Kurt Bayer 

NEW ZEALAND’S professional 

engineering body has tightened 

up its code of ethics in the 

ongoing wake of the February 

2011 earthquake disaster. 

The Canterbury Earthquakes 

Royal Commission recommended 

that Institution of 

Professional Engineers should 

clarify its code of ethics, in relation 

to reporting risks to public 

health and safety. 

A total of 185 people died 

in the magnitude 6.3 quake at 

12.51pm on February 22, 2011, 

including 115 people when the 

six-storey Canterbury Television 

building collapsed. 

In studying the collapse of the 

CTV Building, the royal commission 

found serious errors by 

engineers, structural designers 

and the city council. 

The royal commission criticised 

Dr Alan Reay of Alan Reay 

Consultants, which designed 

the ill-fated Christchurch office 

block in the mid-1980s, for giving 

his inexperienced structural 

engineer David Harding “sole 

responsibility” for the job. 

In 2014, Dr Reay resigned 

from Ipenz just a week before 

facing a disciplinary hearing in a 

move that dismayed and angered 

CTV victims’ families. 

But Ipenz has now changed its 

rules so that members will not 

be able to avoid its disciplinary 

processes by resigning their 

membership in the future. 

“This is part of a suite of 

changes we are currently making 

to our complaints process to 

ensure it is robust, transparent 

and fair,” Ipenz Chief Executive 

Susan Freeman-Greene said. 

Ipenz has spent three years developing 

and consulting the new 

code, which comes into force 

on July 1. Under the new code, 

engineers have a new obligation 

to report “potential adverse consequences 

for people’s health and 

safety” and for the environment. 

Ms Freeman-Greene said that 

if an engineer became aware of 

any concerns, including potential 

design flaws in a building 

under construction, or poor construction 

practices that threaten 

health and safety, they should 

report it. 

Another change is that if an 

engineer suspects another engineer 

has significantly breached 

the code, they must also take 

action.

Mon-Fri 

Clients 

allegedly 

assaulted 

• By Kurt Bayer 

A CHRISTCHURCH 

professional man appeared 

in the district court yesterday 

on charges that he indecently 

assaulted clients. 

The 61-year-old pleaded 

not guilty to three charges of 

indecently assaulting three male 

clients. 

He appeared in the dock in 

a grey suit, brown shoes, and 

maroon tie. 

Defence counsel Paul Wicks 

QC said the man elected a trial 

by jury. 

He applied for interim name 

suppression, including details of 

his occupation, on the grounds 

of potential extreme hardship. 

Judge Tom Gilbert granted 

interim name suppression on 

the grounds of potential extreme 

hardship. 

However, he stressed that 

name suppression would have to 

be argued “properly and fully” at 

the next hearing. 

He remanded the man on bail, 

with conditions, to a case review 

hearing on September 5. 

CHRISTCHURCH can 

now start selling itself as a 

destination for the lucrative 

conference circuit. 

That’s the step forward for 

Christchurch and Canterbury 

Tourism on the back of yesterday’s 

announcement that initial 

work on the Convention Centre 

will start next month. 

The Government said yesterday 

the Convention Centre, 

which is to be built on the two 

blocks between Cathedral and 

Victoria Squares, would be complete 

by the end of 2019. 

But original plans to build hotels, 

shops, apartments and office 

spaces on the site have been 

scrapped, and the Government 

would only build the centre. 

Christchurch and Canterbury 

Tourism chief 

executive Vic Allen 

(left) said it was 

thrilled with the 

news. 

He said it now 

had a timeline and 

could begin booking international 

conferences. 

“There’s been some uncertainty 

around when the new 

facility will be ready but now 

we have that certainty, so now 

we can ramp-up our conference 

marketing activity again.” 

The Government was forced 

to scale back plans for the project 

after ending its partnership 

with Plenary Conventions New 

Zealand, made up of Ngai Tahu 

Property, Carter Group and 

Plenary Group. 

It would now only build the 

Convention Centre itself, but 

the remainder of the site would 

be open to private investors for

NEW DESIGNS: The Convention Centre will not include hotels, 

apartments, shops and office spaces, after its partnership with 

Plenary Conventions New Zealand ended. 

commercial development. 

Mr Allen said a number of 

potential investors in tourism 

infrastructure had stated they 

were interested in investing in 

Christchurch. 

The Convention Centre would 

have a 1400 delegate auditorium, 

an exhibition hall and meeting 

rooms. 

But Labour MP Megan 

Woods said without the hotels, 

shops, apartments and office 

spaces that the partnership 


promised, private investment in 

the central city was now up in 

the air. 

“Instead, we are left with a 

‘build it and they will come’ approach 

where taxpayers will foot 

the whole bill for the Convention 

Centre, with no certainty 

that private investment will 

follow.” 

Crown-owned company 

Otakaro, which is tasked with 

delivering the city’s anchor 

projects, will now finalise the 

design and begin engagement 

with potential contractors next 

month. 

Work to re-route the underground 

services would also 

begin next month, and the 

section of Gloucester St between 

Colombo at and Oxford Tce 

would be closed. 

It is hoped earthworks would 

begin in October. 

Otakaro would not say how 

much the centre would cost. 

The Convention Centre was 

first announced as an anchor 

project in mid-2012, with the 

original completion date scheduled 

for the end of next year.

Top Iris award for photographer 


CHRISTCHURCH photographer 

Katherine Williams has been 

named 2016 Photographer of 

the Year at New Zealand’s top 

professional photography awards, 

the Iris Awards. 

She also won the 

Wedding Classic 

and Wedding Creative 

categories at the 

ceremony last week. 

Her love of 

photography was 

Katherine 

Williams 

sparked at the age 

of 15, when she built a pinhole 

camera out of cardboard to take 

photographs of her friends with, 

she said. 

“It was back in the day of the 

darkroom, and I loved the absolute 

magic of creating something with 

light and watching it develop before 

your eyes into a photograph that 

captured that moment in time.” 

Although the equipment and 

techniques she used had changed 

many times over the years, she said 

capturing that fleeting moment 

was still something she loved, 

and what drew her into wedding 

photography.

ago with her husband and fellow

She had spent about a decade

to put down roots. 

In spite of winning several 

awards, she said it was still difficult 

to make a living as a professional 

photographer. 

Winning the top Iris award blew 

her away and was a “totally overwhelming 

feeling”, she said.

Entrepreneur 

and Rangi Ruru 

form partnership 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School is 

teaming up with a 21-year-old 

entrepreneur’s company to help 

students into tertiary education. 

Crimson Consulting, the company 

set up by then 18-year-old 

Jamie Beaton, will be sending one 

of its tutors to Rangi as a full-time 

“career pathway strategist”. 

The young Harvard graduate’s 

business was valued at $60 million 

earlier this year after acquiring 

numerous smaller educational 

consultancies. 

Mr Beaton started the company 

in 2013 with his girlfriend Shandre 

Kushor, also 18 at the time, and 

soon attracted investment from 

United States billionaires. His 

share of the education consultancy 

is now worth $40.5 million. 

Beaton’s fellow Harvard graduate 

Wen Qiu will be joining the 

school as part of a new partnership 

between the college and the 

company. 

Rangi Ruru principal Dr Sandra 

Hastie says this collaboration 

is about assisting students with 

career plans and “connecting them 

with information”. 

It is the first partnership of 

its kind between a school and a 

commercial enterprise in New 

Zealand.

News 

The city’s big ticket items – then and now 

As the major central city projects which were handled by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery 

Authority are split between different Government agencies, reporter Gabrielle Stuart looked at the 

timelines set for major public projects under CERA early last year, and where they are today 

•East Frame 

Under the plan construction of the public spaces 

would be finished by December last year. 

Today work on the private development of residential 

and commercial spaces is due to start this year, but the 

“central park” and public spaces are not expected to open 

until the end of 2017. 

•Canterbury Earthquake Memorial 

Under the plan construction of the memorial would 

be finished by March this year. 

Today the north bank grass area is finished and 

construction of the south bank memorial is underway, 

but it is not expected to be finished until February 2017. 

•Avon River Precinct 

Under the plan construction work would be finished 

this month. 

Today parts of the precinct are complete, like the Margaret 

Mahy Playground (above) and the first stage of The 

Terraces, but other sections like the Art Bridge and the 

promenade are not. It is now scheduled to be finished in 

July 2017. 

•Canterbury Justice and Emergency Services 

Precinct 

Under the plan construction would finish at the end of 

this year. 

Today the construction is scheduled to be finished in 

February next year, and the buildings are all expected to 

open by May. 

•Central Library 

Under the plan construction work would have started 

midway through last year, and would finish by September, 

2017. 

Today construction is underway, but the library is not 

expected to open until 2018. 

•South Frame 

Under the plan construction work would be finished this 

month. 

Today the plans have been scaled back, and construction 

is scheduled to start this year and take two years to 

complete. 

•Convention Centre 

Under the plan it would be halfway through almost 

three years of construction work, scheduled to finish at 

the end of 2017. 

Today design work is expected to be done next 

month. Work on the site is set to start in October and 

construction is expected to be finished by the end of 

2019. 

•Cathedral Square 

Under the plan the re-development work would finish 

this month. 

Today the project is on hold because of uncertainly 

over projects like the Convention Centre and cathedral. 

•QE II pool replacement 

Under the plan design work would be finished and 

construction started before the end of the year, scheduled 

to finish by September, 2018. 

Today parts of the plan have been scaled back. 

Construction is due to start in September this year, and 

finish in March, 2018. 

•Metro Sports Facility 

Under the plan the designs would have been finalised at 

the beginning of the year, and construction would be well 

underway, scheduled to finish by December, 2018. 

Today the designs are still being discussed, and the 

facility is not scheduled to open until March, 2020. 

•Stadium 

Under the plan construction would have started late last 

year, and was scheduled to finish by December, 2019. 

Today the plans for the stadium have not yet been 

announced, and funding for the build is not expected to be 

available until at least 2022.

Convention Centre: 

Opportunity knocks 

WHEN ONE door closes, 

another can open. 

That will be the view 

enterprising business people in 

Christchurch, and elsewhere, 

will be contemplating with 

yesterday’s news about the 

Convention Centre. 

The fact that the Government 

has dropped its private partners 

– Australian-based firm Plenary 

Group, Christchurch’s Carter 

Group, and Ngai Tahu Property 

– to build the $500 million 

Convention Centre precinct is 

not surprising. 

Their likely exit has been the 

worst kept secret for months. 

It was always an ambitious 

vision, something Cantabrians 

have got used to with the anchor 

projects. 

The city has gone past 

disappointment. 

Now the squabbling is 

over and the Government has 

opted to go alone and build it 

themselves. 

That has to be good for the 

province. 

The fact it won’t come with 

the planned hotels, apartments 

and retail stores is not important 

right now. Those developments 

will come and if the Government 

is serious about invigorating 

the central city with people and 

business it will clear any road 

blocks along the way to help 

make it happen. 

If the red tape can be freed 

up and incentives are there, 

investors, both local and 

overseas, will step in to build 

the hotels the central city so 

desperately needs. 

Now all we need is to get 

moving on a sports stadium – 

but one that is built for a city of 

our size. 

Key and Panama saga 

THE PRIME Minister was too 

quick to declare his confidence 

in this country’s treatment of 

foreign trusts following the 

“Panama papers”. 

The inquiry he commissioned 

from tax policy specialist John 

Shewan has found the disclosure 

required of these trusts to be 

“light-handed” and the rules 

governing them “not fit for 

purpose”. 

Mr Shewan’s report provides 

a clear account of how New 

Zealand came to be a tax haven 

though, like John Key, Mr 

Shewan rejects that term. 

Mr Shewan reports that no 

disclosure was required of 

foreign trusts here until 2006 

when Australia expressed 

concern. 

Thereafter they had to be 

registered and some record kept. 

He notes there is now virtually 

Winter 

Warmer 

Special 

no Australian money in foreign 

trusts here. But the number 

of registrations has climbed 

steadily since 2010. 

Among his recommendations 

to improve New Zealand’s 

reputation he suggests a register 

of foreign trusts “searchable only 

by regulatory agencies”. 

This appears to mean only 

domestic agencies. The problem 

remains that trusts would not 

be transparent to foreign tax 

authorities unless they know 

what to ask for. 

Some users of foreign trusts 

will have good reason to 

hide wealth from criminal 

extortionists and corrupt 

regimes but we have to ensure 

we are not serving the criminal 

and corrupt.

The Star asked its readers 

whether they thought 

schoolgirls should be able 

to wear short skirts to 

school, after Hornby High 

senior girls were told to 

lengthen theirs. 

Sherbie Taylor – 1958, 58 

years ago. That’s when I attended 

a Christchurch high school and 

10cm below the knee was the 

regulation back then. 

I should know, I got many 

detentions for my short skirt. 

Surely times have changed, 

and we have moved on from 

1958. Come on Hornby High, 

come out of the dark ages. 

My mother went down to my 

school, Papanui High, she sorted 

them out. I was never bothered 

about the length of my skirt 

again. 

Jacob Martin – I’m troubled 

Hornby High School students 

have been advised by one of 

their teachers that men are 

“distracted” when females wear 

short skirts. 

The issue appears to be one of 

adherence to uniform guidelines 

yet the decency of men has been 

dragged into question. 

This view suggests a ‘guilty 

until proven otherwise’ approach 

is appropriate for men 

– yet presumption of innocence 

doesn’t just apply to those who 

have been charged with a crime. 

The view of one teacher – and 

clearly not the majority view –

THIS HAS been another 

busy week for development in 

Christchurch, and is a good 

opportunity to highlight just 

how much progress has been 

made on Te Papa Ōtākaro, the 

Avon River Precinct. 

This new urban waterfront is 

taking shape, with the official 

opening by the Prime Minister 

John Key of the first stage of 

The Terraces section last Thursday. 

This stage, from Cashel St 

to Hereford St, is the second 

project to be completed under 

Elegant 

Enduring 

was shared with students in a 

learning environment. 

This risks influencing students’ 

attitudes towards men. If 

for instance male students and 

teachers are the problem, why 

not male doctors or judges – or 

fathers and grandfathers? 

What if I walk by one of 

these students – will they think 

because I am male I must be 

‘distracted’ by them? 

Finally, male students trying 

to come to terms with their identity 

deserve a fair and nurturing 

environment in which to grow. 

Our schools need to provide 

this.

of teenagers, the question of 

skirt length or any dress code

Many businesses have a 

dress code or uniform and 

code of conduct which must 

be followed or there are consequences. 

It is not unreasonable for 

schools to have the same. 

The real issue here is why 

these girls feel they have the 

right to pick and choose which 

rules they follow while at 

school. They have plenty of 

time outside of school to do 

and wear whatever they want. 

Science has discovered that 

the frontal lobe of the teenage 

brain is going through a huge 

‘rewiring’ process and therefore 

teens are not always capable 

of making good reasonable 

choices. 

That is why parents and all 

adults need to have clear rules 

for them to follow to keep 

everyone safe, ie zero tolerance 

to drink driving. 

The issue of girls rolling their 

skirts goes on everywhere as 

the teen years is also a time of 

testing the limits of those in 

charge. 

Maybe instead of trying to 

talk to the girls, the school 

should have sent those in 

question home with a letter 

of explanation that they stay 

home until they decide to wear 

their uniform correctly. 

Otherwise they always have 

the option of going to a school 

that has rules more to there 

liking. 

It’s an area where people can 

gather, play, shop and dine, and 

where central city business can 

flourish. The Cambridge Tce 

side of the river will be a green 

space with walking and cycling 

paths running alongside the 

river.

Steve Young, of Kirwee – 

How does the district council’s 

move to ‘change how they 

charge townships for water 

use’ square with the prime 

minister’s claim that nobody 

owns water? 

Dr Bruce Smith, of 

West Melton – In my view, 

the introduction of water 

meters is a direct result of 

the Government taking away 

our democratic right to vote 

for our representatives on 

Environment Canterbury 

so the farmers could take 

almost all the water under the 

Canterbury Plains.

It is a bit hair-raising passing 

so many trucks on the way 

out there. One day I passed 

21 trucks. The road seems to

Having over-allocated this

to reduce our intake to keep

This is made even worse by 

some farmers reportedly taking

Moreover, I live in an area 

where it is often necessary to 

run the taps at a fast drip to 

prevent the pipes freezing at

Our water comes from a

that our township should not

there is no shortage of water in

GOVERNMENT MUST do 

more to protect our water 

Cantabrians are rightly proud 

of our water – our fresh, clean, 

pure drinking water is amongst 

the world’s best and our region 

boasts gorgeous lakes and rivers. 

But right now, that is all under 

threat. In the last few years, 

we’ve seen the quality of the 

water in our region plummet. 

Five years ago, 74 per cent of 

rivers in Canterbury were swimmable, 

now it’s just 64. 

That means that just over one 

in three rivers in our region aren’t 

safe for our kids to swim in. 

At the end of summer 2014, 11 

rivers in Canterbury had warnings 

for cyanobacteria, which is 

hazardous to both people and 

animals. Not only does it make 

rivers unsafe to swim in, you 

can’t even walk your dog alongside 

them in case they get sick. 

A study by Environment Canterbury 

late last year showed that 

there wasn’t a single monitored 

site along the Waimakariri or 

Hurunui rivers that was rated 

above “poor” or “very poor” for 

water quality. 

That’s simply not good enough. 

What’s especially worrying 

about this is how little the Government 

is doing about it. 

Recently, when announcing 

their national strategy on water 

quality, they made a big song 

and dance about the fact they 

Megan Woods 

WORRY: A 

recent study 

showed the 

Waimakariri 

River had poor 

water quality. 

Time to clean up 

Canterbury’s rivers 

were bringing in enforceable 

water standards. 

Once you looked past the 

spin though, it turns out the 

“standard” was for rivers to be 

wadeable, not swimmable. Their 

much-hyped standards turned 

out to be a surrender on the idea 

of swimmable rivers. 

Recent reports of livestock 

being allowed to wade into 

Canterbury rivers – and all the 

effluent and water pollution that 

comes with it – only adds to the 

concerns. As done the wholesale 

extraction and export of our 

precious water resource with 

no consideration to the impact 

on the local area as witnessed 

recently in Ashburton. 

These problems should be a 

wake-up call to the Government. 

If we want our grandchildren to 

be able to enjoy our rivers, they 

need to up their game. 

We need real standards and 

a clear plan to clean up dirty 

rivers. And while we are at it, 

Cantabrians need to be afforded 

the same rights as everyone else 

in the country to elect all those 

responsible for administering 

and protecting water at a 

regional level. 

After eight years, it’s clear we 

aren’t going to get any of this 

from the current Government.

Countdown to Rio 

Hutchins’ path to the Olympics 

The Rio de Janeiro Olympics begin in only six weeks 

time. The Star’s sports reporter Gordon Findlater 

will be counting down to Rio, highlighting some of 

Canterbury’s brightest talents. This week, we look 

into swimmer Matt Hutchins’ path to the 400m 

freestyle. 

MATT Hutchins’ journey to the 

Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games is 

an intriguing one. 

From early morning training 

before school to being one of 

the top swimmers on the 

United States college scene, 

Hutchins has now achieved his 

life long goal of attending the 

Olympics. 

Living in Rolleston as a teenager, 

Hutchins’ mother Cindy 

made the 5am drive to Wharenui 

pool with her son every day. 

He would then take a bus to 

Lincoln High School after training, 

before catching the bus back 

to training after school. 

With that level of effort put 

into his swimming career, it’s 

surprising Hutchins had time 

to mix sport with being a teenager. 

“That was controlled from 

him. His mates he’d go out with 

looked after him. He wasn’t into 

the partying and drinking to the 

extent that a lot of his friends 

were,” Hutchins’ father Tony 

said. 

Hutchins’ friend and fellow 

Wharenui club training partner, 

William Campbell, described 

Hutchins as a stand-up comedian 

who pulled pranks and was 

well liked by his pairs. 

In recent years, Hutchins’ 

career has seen a major change 

from the daily training at 

Wharenui swimming pool. 

A scholarship to the University 

of Wisconsin has seen the 

Christchurch swimmer stake his 

claim as one of the top swimmers 

in the NCAA, the US college 

competition. 

Hutchins’ qualification for Rio 

came in unique fashion. 

Coming home for March’s 

national qualifying event would 

have meant missing out on 

the NCAA championships in 

Atlanta, Georgia. But a compromise 

was found. An agreement 

was met that allowed Hutchins 

to compete in the Canadian trials, 

as he attempted to meet the 

400m freestyle Olympic qualifying 

time of 3m 50.44s. 

The Kiwi wasted no time accomplishing 

his goal in Toronto, 

swimming the fastest time in 

the morning preliminaries of the 

event, finishing in an impressive 

3m 49.84s. 

Taking up a college scholarship 

in the US became the preferred 

option for Hutchins following 

the Christchurch earthquakes, 

with the majority of the city’s 

facilities badly damaged. 

Now in his third year at the 

University of Wisconsin, the 

college programme has helped 

take Hutchins’ swimming to the 

next level. 

“He’s in an environment of 20 

other male swimmers of similar 

ability. There’s two swimming 

pools – a 50m and a 25 yard 

pool. They get given all their gear 

every year,” Tony said, as he jokingly 

laughed about never having 

to buy his son another pair of 

togs again. 

During the collegiate season, 

Hutchins became the first male 

Big Ten Swimmer of the Year 

in the University of Wisconsin’s 

history. 

At the 2016 NCAA championship, 

Hutchins earned top-six 

finishes in two individual events. 

He was third in the 1650-yard 

(1468m) freestyle and secured 

a sixth place finish in the 500- 

yard (457m) freestyle. Both were 

school records. 

BIG DREAMS: Christchurch swimmer Matt Hutchins will compete for New Zealand in the 400m 

freestyle at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. 

Matt Hutchins 

Birthdate: September 19, 1994 

Hometown: Christchurch 

Discipline: 400m freestyle 

Previous Olympics: Nil 

Fact: Hutchins, who attends the University of Wisconsin, pulled off a breakthrough result at the 

pinnacle event on the US college calendar, the NCAA division 1 championships, in Atlanta in 

March. He claimed a rare medal for a Kiwi swimmer, winning bronze in the 1650 yard (1508m) 

freestyle 

A second team, All-Big Ten 

honouree, Hutchins recorded a 

trio of top-three finishes at the 

2016 Big Ten Championships. He 

finished second in both the 500 

and 1650-yard freestyle events, 

while also contributing to Wisconsin 

university’s third place 

finish in the 800-yard (732m) 

freestyle relay. 

Recently, Hutchins had a great 

training opportunity in the leadup 

to Rio, spending two weeks at 

a high altitude camp in Colorado. 

He will attend more competitions 

in California before meeting 

up with the New Zealand team in 

Texas before heading to Rio.

Our People 

Anna Tutton 

Dealing with life and death 

Coroner Anna Tutton has worked in different aspects of law 

for more than 25 years, from early days as a clerk to major 

roles with the Commerce Commission and the courts. She 

spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about her work as a coroner and 

what it involved 

So when you’re at a dinner 

party and say you’re a coroner, 

what sort of reaction do you 

get? Are people curious, or does 

it get awkward? 

It is amazing how interested 

people are. But I think a lot of 

it is to do with American TV 

shows. A lot of people think 

we’re pathologists or like the 

American medical examiners, 

but we don’t actually deal with 

bodies in our day to day role. 

And a lot of people seem to 

think there is one Christchurch 

coroner, which was a historical 

thing. Now there are three of us 

based in Christchurch, and one 

in Dunedin. People are really 

interested and usually have lots 

of questions about what we do, 

but they do often have the idea 

it’s morbid work. 

So do you find it a morbid 

job? 

Well, it’s a bit like criminal law 

in that regard, in that it sounds 

like it is all about people’s deaths, 

but it’s also all about people’s 

lives. I don’t personally find it as 

grim as people suggest it must 

be, because I like people and I’m 

interested in people, and we deal 

with such a wide range of people 

doing our role. 

You also acquire bodies of 

knowledge about all sorts of 

things, like often a death will 

happen in a prison so you learn 

about prison processes, or in an 

aviation death there’s aviation 

matters, or in a road death there 

are physics involved in calculating 

speed. I like that constant 

learning. 

So what does your day usually 

look like? 

Well, there are three components 

to the role, so your 

day might be slightly different 

depending on the role you’re doing. 

For the last part of last week 

I was the duty coroner, so that 

means you deal with the deaths 

reported across the whole country. 

That means you’re sitting 

at your desk making decisions 

about whether or not to take jurisdiction 

or do a post-mortem. 

One of the other aspects is 

advancing coronial inquiries, so 

we take turns being the receiving 

coroner every four weeks. For 

something like a missing person, 

the first question we need to ask 

is has that person actually died? 

So we need to be satisfied we can 

establish who it was, when they 

died and the cause of death. And 

the third thing is sitting in court 

conducting an inquest. 

Tell me a bit about your background. 

Well, my first job was as a high 

court judge’s clerk. It was a really 

good introduction to law because 

it was general. Unlike a lot of 

people I graduated with, I didn’t 

get slotted in one particular 

area of law. But it was pretty 

clear to me early on I wanted to 

do criminal law, because of the 

human interest. It was all about 

people, and dealing with people. 

I’ve worked in the Crown Law 

office, then the Crown Solicitor 

MOTIVATION: Coroner Anna Tutton moved into the field of 

criminal law because she was interested in people. 


office, and as a Crown prosecutor. 

I spent some time at the 

Institute of Professional Legal 

Studies, and I branched out into 

the Commerce Commission for 

a while, and I’ve also worked for 

the police a number of times as a 

staff member and a contractor. 

Doing this kind of work, 

where you see and hear about 

some of the worst things people 

do to one another – does it 

change the way you look at 

people? 

Well, as a coroner I don’t deal 

directly with these people, and 

even in criminal law I was a 

prosecutor rather than defence 

counsel. But my view hasn’t 

changed that people are inherently 

good. I’ve always thought 

that, and it hasn’t shaken that 

belief. 

Obviously you have a lot of 

power to change things when 

you make recommendations. 

How do you handle that 

pressure? 

Well, it’s like any power, with 

it goes responsibility to exercise 

it carefully. We have to be considered 

and have to be realistic 

when making recommendations, 

and we have to focus on something 

which is likely to make 

the biggest difference. There’s no 

point making recommendations 

which can never be realised. 

One thing that I think is very 

important is making sure families 

understand the process and 

enabling them to participate. We 

try to make it as easy as possible 

for them and involve them in a 

meaningful way. 

And with such big things to 

think about, how do you switch 

off after work? 

I can’t speak for other people, 

but I’m always thinking about 

things, how I’ll deal with things 

or what I could do better, so I 

never really switch off. 

But it is important to give your 

mind a chance to rest, so I do 

things like yoga and go to the 

gym. I also read a lot, and I’ve 

got kids so I spend a lot of time 

with them. And I spend a lot of 

my time off doing boring things, 

too, like housework and gardening. 

Do you find the job has 

changed the way you approach 

life? 

Well, there are two parts to 

that answer. The first thing is, 

when you’ve done criminal law a 

long time you develop the ability 

to focus on issues not emotion, 

because if you focus on emotion 

it makes it impossible to do the 

job. 

But I think what it has made 

me realise is you can’t take anything 

for granted. You do have 

to take a view that the life you’ve 

got is precious and you have to 

make the most of it. 

Supermarkets and children don’t mix 

I USED to enjoy supermarket 

shopping. Perusing the aisles 

for new culinary delights and 

hunting for exotic ingredients 

for a new recipe. Simply, no rush. 

Just quality time at the shops. 

Now, the idea of heading to the 

supermarket with any (or all) of 

my children makes me anxious 

and sweaty. It’s fair to say that 

shopping with kids is my least favourite 

thing to do in the world. 

Sunday morning started as 

a rainy, indoors day. With my 

other half at work, I had a loose 

plan that involved colouring, 

a movie, puddle jumping and 

cards. I felt prepared for the challenge 

of entertaining my four, 

boisterous girls. 

First thing first: a good breakfast. 

However, my stocks revealed 

only a quarter-full bottle of milk, 

a smidgen of yoghurt, a couple of 

eggs, and a few slices of bread. 

I managed to find a few extra 

bits and pieces and pulled together 

a sufficiently nutritious 

meal, but registered a desperate 

need to visit the shops. I winced 

at the thought, but embraced it as 

a challenge. 

I hustled everyone out of their 

PJs and into the car. I hoped 8am 

would be a quiet enough time for 

the shop to absorb the chaos that 

my four would bring. Taking a 

deep breath in, I reversed down 

the drive and embarked on my 

pre-supermarket pep talk. 

“Now, if you all behave well 

and no one runs away, there 

might be a little treat once we finish.” 

My warning was especially 

Melissa McDonnell 

directed to my 2.5 year old twins, 

who are renowned runners in 

public spaces. 

I found a park close to the entrance 

and, all holding hands, we 

headed indoors. So far, so good 

and I was pleasantly surprised. 

Maybe this time, it would be different? 

Then, as if under some sort 

of extra-sensory directive, they 

simultaneously scattered. The 

big girls headed one way, while 

the twins made a bee-line for the 

lollies. Within seconds, they were 

centimetres from pick-and-mix 

heaven. “Stop”, I yelled (while 

desperately yanking on a line of 

tangled trolleys). 

My eldest girl responded to 

my may-day call and intercepted 

their grab-and-dash attempt. Not 

even in the store for 20 seconds 

and my blood pressure was on 

the rise. 

“Twins – into the trolley. Now.” 

Despite their whaling protestations, 

I stood firm in my decision. 

I needed to get through this asap, 

and this was the only way. I let 

the big girls hang on to the side 

and pull silly faces as a means 

of distracting/entertaining their 

errant younger siblings. 

I made a game out of chainpassing 

the groceries into the 

trolley for a re-stack and order. 

This allowed me to whip around 

the aisles, grab the essentials and 

make a bee-line for the exit. Typically, 

the cashiers were busy, so 

my only option was to negotiate 

the self check-out. 

I moved into auto-pilot and 

upped the ante: I knew my luck 

was about to run out. The girls 

had spied their treat and called 

me on it. I told them they needed 

to wait until I had paid. 

After they “helped” me scan 

and pack the groceries, I paid and 

was ready for departure when I 

realised I’d forgotten the bread. 

I sheepishly requested the checkout 

supervisor watch the children 

as I made a record 13-second 

round-trip to covet six loaves, 

and upon my return, discovered 

they each had a fist full of potato 

chips. 

Resourceful little mites at the 

best of times. Ah well, at least 

they were quiet and in one place. 

Home by 9.15am for a strong 

coffee to kick me through the 

rest of the day, and a calendar 

reminder to check the house is 

stocked before heading into a 

solo-parenting Sunday. I don’t 

want to that again.

Travel 

Downtown LA reborn 

• By Mike Yardley 

IT’S FAIR to say that Downtown 

Los Angeles has struggled for 

street-cred over the years with 

many considering Downtown 

a byword for crime-infested 

dump. 

Strolling down Spring St, the 

fusion fragrance of cannabis 

and stale urine regularly realitychecked 

my nostrils that Downtown 

still has ample grit and 

edge. You’re not in Disneyland 

anymore, Toto! And Skid Row 

is still real, stretching eastwards, 

with its marauding ranks of panhandlers 

and rough sleepers. 

But for all its social problems, 

Downtown is transforming 

into a buzzing urban hot-spot, 

brimming with enticing hospitality 

venues, head-turning art 

and architecture, and revitalised 

entertainment temples. 

I started my walkabout in 

Bunker Hill, gazing in awe at 

the Walt Disney Concert Hall’s 

curved ribbons of stainless-steel, 

set against a vivid blue sky, shimmering 

in the beaming sunshine. 

Frank Gehry’s masterpiece, built 

in 2003, anchors the great sweep 

of statement architecture lining 

Grand Ave. 

Neighbouring the goldenhued 

Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, 

Gehry wanted his concert 

hall to be the living room of LA’s 

thriving heart. Grand Ave is assertively 

becoming the Museum 

Mile of the west coast, with the 

streetscape includes the striking 

red sandstone Museum of 

Contemporary Art and the latest 

artistic princess to grace the 

avenue, The Broad. 

Gifted to the city by philanthropists 

Eli and Edyth Broad, 

they wanted a place to house 

their 2000-strong art collection, 

while also accentuating the 

rebirth of Downtown. 

The pure white honeycomblike 

structure, known as “the 

veil”, delivers architectural 

wow-factor and light-diffusing 

functionality. Spanning six 

decades of contemporary art, 

the stand-outs include a colossal 

Roy Lichtenstein print, famous 

works by Andy Warhol including 

Campbell’s Soup Can, Robert 

Therrien’s super-sized Under the 

Table, and some playfully colourful 

sculptures by Jeff Koons. 

Tulips and Balloon Dog are 

Instagram hits. Koons also turns 

heads with his kooky pop art 

porcelain sculpture of Michael 

Jackson and Bubbles. Even for 

the art illiterate, The Broad’s 

exhibits are brilliantly engaging. 

Billed as “The Shortest Railway 

in the World”, Angel’s Landing 

is a vintage funicular (now 

dormant) that previously hauled 

passengers up and down Bunker 

Hill. 

I descended the stairway next 

to the landmark funicular, enroute 

to Grand Central Market, 

a frenetic food emporium and 

one of Downtown’s venerable 

survivors. Celebrating its centenary 

next year, this thriving food 

market serves up delicious bites 

under glowing neon signs. 

Catering to a broad church, 

hipsters, businessmen and 

elderly ladies were sharing tables 

on my visit, polishing off $3 

tacos from Chiles Secos. Try a 

burger from Belcampo, Mexican 

ceviche from La Tostaderia, or 

award-winning egg-laden sandwiches 

from the unfortunately 

named but fiendishly popular 

Eggslut. 

Fancy a view to die for? Head 

up to the top of the US Bank 

tower, the tallest building west 

of the Mississippi, to OUE 

Skyspace’s open-air observation 

deck. I was particularly excited 

to explore the revival of Broadway, 

the one-time epicentre 

of entertainment. Back in the 

1930s, Broadway in Los Angeles, 

not to be confused with its 

New York counterpart, had the 

highest concentration of movie 

theatres in the world. 

After World War 2, the historic 

theatre district suffered as the 

cinemas of Hollywood became 

more fashionable. Broadway’s 

movie palaces were built like 

glorious cathedrals of cinema, 

opulently decorated to dizzying 

heights. Some have been lost to 

the ravages of time, but many 

have been resuscitated, radiating 

with new-found glamour. 

Standout specimens include 

the Orpheum, the Theatre at Ace 

Hotel and the Million Dollar 

Theatre, which was built by Sid 

Grauman before he opened his 

Egyptian and Chinese theatres 

in Hollywood. Literally costing 

a million dollars, this picture 

palace was built in 1918, with 

an extravagant proscenium 

arch, 34m-wide balcony, soaring 

carved organ grilles and fairytale 

imagery. 

Strolling Broadway, you’ll 

notice the beautiful facades of 

many other grande dames still 

awaiting their makeover. But 

bit by bit, revival is happening, 

in between the tacky discount 

shops and drug stores. Broadway 

FACT FILE 

Standard Hotel Downtown 

is a playful pleasure-pad 

on Flower St. Guest rooms 

are incredibly large and 

funky: All have sexy seethrough 

showers, windows 

that actually open, and 

platform beds, which were 

surprisingly comfortable. 

The hotel’s crowning glory 

is the indoor-outdoor 

rooftop lounge and beer 

garden, serving traditional 

German food and beer, a 

buzzing social scene and 

superb skyline vistas.

also crosses paths with the 

Jewellery District, groaning 

with more than 5000 jewellery 

businesses, many pitched at 

the Latino market. If theatrical 

gold jewellery and super-sized 

crucifix necklaces is your bag, 

you’re in bling heaven! 

But like the theatres, many 

heritage buildings along the 

strip are being conserved 

and repurposed as part of 

the council-run Bringing

Falling for a girl named Tinkerbell 

• By Barry Clarke 

DON’T TELL the wife but I’ve 

fallen for a girl called Tinkerbell. 

She’s 26, has a smile and eyes 

I’ll never forget, has beautiful 

sleek lines, and amazing skin. 

And, I have to admit I got close 

up and personal with Tinkerbell 

at Tangalooma Resort on 

Moreton Island, about an hour’s 

ferry trip from Brisbane during a 

weekend away from home. 

All sound a bit fishy? 

You’re right. 

Tinkerbell is of course a wild 

dolphin, and a magnificent one 

at that. But then they all are. 

She’s part of a pod of wild 

dolphins that come to the island 

around the same time every 

night to be fed by the tourists. 

It’s a fantastic experience. 

Qantas now has three return 

flights from Christchurch-Brisbane 

a week. If you’re going to 

Brisbane don’t just think only of 

the traditional nearby must-visit 

spots of the Gold Coast or Sunshine 

Coast. Because Moreton 

Island is a gem. 

There is the day trip option 

on the ferry and while heading 

across you’re likely to see pods of 

dolphins. 

The ferry returns after dolphin 

feeding time by the main jetty on 

the island. 

If you’re staying overnight or 

for a few days the accommodation 

is very good, and affordable. 

The food is what you’d expect 

– great. Fire and Stone restaurant 

(Chinese) is a must. 

There’s scuba diving around a 

shipwreck, quad biking, sand hill 

tobogganing (not for the fainthearted) 

in what is known as the 

desert, sailing, and fishing. 

If you want something more 

leisurely there’s plenty of good 

walking, and beachside cafes to 

sit and sup on a coffee or something 

stronger. 

But more on those dolphins. 

They have been arriving at 

Tangalooma for decades, which 

is one of the few places in the 

world that you can wade out and 

hand-feed dolphins. 

There are fairly strict guidelines 

to keep them safe – you 

must wash your hands before 

wading out, and you are not allowed 

to touch them in case they 

catch an infection. If you have a 

cold or the flu you are told not to 

go near them. 

The dolphins first came to 

prominence in the late 1970s 

when the current owners of the 

resort, the Osbornes, would visit 

the island. 

Lights had just been installed 

on the jetty, which attracted bait 

fish which the dolphins were 

feeding on. 

The Osbornes bought the 

resort in 1980 and they began to 

identify and name the dolphins 

that came in at different times 

after sunset. 

They named the most regular 

Eric. But when Eric arrived with 

a calf one year, they renamed her 

Beauty, who is the lineage of the 

pod that arrives today, including 

Tinkerbell, who now has her own 

offspring. 

During the 1980s, tourists 

would throw fish to Beauty. 

Initially, she rejected the fish, but 

slowly she started to accept the 

offerings. 

She would raise her eyes above 

MAGNIFICENT: Tinkerbell 

and her newborn calf 

Calypso. Above right – The 

Tangalooma Resort. Left –

the water and look for tourists. 

The Osbornes became concerned 

about the quality of the 

fish being fed to Beauty, so they 

would leave a bucket of fresh fish 

on the jetty each night for the 

tourists to feed Beauty. 

In late 1990 Beauty arrived 

with a new baby and she was 

named Tinkerbell. 

Just over a year later the 

Osbornes tried hand-feeding 

Beauty. It worked; she showed 

no signs of stress and the rest is 

history. 

Tangalooma installed a new 

jetty and grandstand and now 

has a Dolphin Education Centre 

staffed by marine biologists. 

Brisbane itself is now a very 

busy city of just over two million 

people, and a lot different to the 

place I last visited several years 

ago. 

The Brisbane river is flanked 

by great bars and cafes, there’s 

a fabulous bike tour (Brisbane 

By Bicycle) and fantastic night 

kayak tours on the river. 

You have to be reasonably 

fit for the 90min kayak but it’s

worth the challenge. The skyline 

at night is fantastic, and if you’re 

taking part on a Friday or Saturday 

there’s prawns and/or a 

barbecue at the end of it. 

And Tinkerbell? Yes, I’ll probably 

return one day to see her 

again. 

And, this time I’ll take the 

wife.

Gardening 

Nothing beats home-grown garlic 

• By Tod Palenski 

HOW DO you know when 

you’ve truly become a bona fide 

vegetable gardener? 

I wonder if it’s when you can’t 

imagine buying a particular 

plant from the supermarket. 

For me, garlic is a product I 

can’t imagine purchasing any 

more. I love the taste of homegrown 

garlic. It’s also easy to 

grow – which helps. And it’s 

easy to store, another plus. So 

there’s generally no need to fork 

out for an inferior (I think) 

product at the supermarket. 

If you already grow your own 

garlic I’m sure you know what I 

mean. And if you don’t, I hope 

this inspires you to give it a 

crack. And don’t forget all the 

other benefits of having garlic in 

your garden. 

It’s said to keep away aphids, 

apple scab, leaf-curl and mosquitoes. 

And if you use it in a 

spray it helps keep a list of other 

annoying insects at bay. 

You don’t need too much 

space for garlic. It just needs to 

be well-drained, which means 

pots and hanging baskets are 

also suitable planting locations. 

Alternatively, plant it next to 

your roses to ward off aphids, 

beneath apple and peach trees to 

prevent apple scab and leaf-curl, 

and next to your tomatoes to 

protect against red spider. 

June is the time to plant it. 

If you didn’t get it on in on the 

shortest day, don’t worry, any 

time until the end of July will be 

fine too. 

Dig in some compost, and a 

good general fertiliser or use a 

potting mix if you’re planting 

in baskets or pots. Dig a little 

hole and place each garlic plant 

inside it. Fill it in with soil so the 

leaves stick out the top. 

Again, traditionally, you 

should harvest on the longest 

day of the year – December 21. 

However, I like to keep an eye 

on the leaves and when they 

start to yellow and begin to dry 

off I gently uproot them with 

a fork. Be careful not to yank 

the leaves or you might rip the 

stalks off. 

Then simply brush off any dirt 

and hang them in a dry, airy 

spot inside. 

Like other produce that is 

stored for a long time, it makes 

sense to eat any damaged ones 

first and store the rest. 

Trust me, now you’ve mastered 

the art of home-grown 

garlic, you’ll never look at it in 

the store the same way again. 

FLAVOUR: There are many advantages to growing garlic in your 

garden. 

Strawberries – the summer fruit for anywhere 

• By Tod Palenski 

STRAWBERRIES are one of the 

most popular edible plants to have 

in the garden. And it’s not hard to 

work out why. 

They’re tasty of course. But they 

have a couple of other great factors 

going for them. They can be 

eaten straight from the garden – 

always a plus. 

But more importantly they can 

be grown just about anywhere. It 

really doesn’t matter what size of 

garden you have or whether you 

even have a garden at all. 

Strawberries can be grown in 

almost anything – a cut off drainpipe, 

a planter box, in the garden 

bed, in a hanging planter and 

more. 

As long as they can see the sun, 

and your garden bed or ‘planter’ 

is well-drained, you can expect 

great growing results. 

Strawberries are best planted in 

June or July. Or, if you live down 

south, probably best to wait until 

August when the soil is a little 

warmer. 

As with all plants, soil preparation 

is important. Strawberries 

prefer a soil pH of 5.8 to 6.2, 

which is slightly acid, so you 

shouldn’t need any lime. 

You can enrich the strawberry 

bed by digging in potash and 

composted vegetable matter to 

provide a boost of food for the 

plants as they grow, and fowl 

manure to reduce the pH. 

Planting in a pot or container? 

Use a top quality potting mix and 

for an extra boost of goodness 

apply a liquid fertiliser to the mix. 

Before planting raise your garden 

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. Plant each seedling 

around 300mm apart from the 

next. 

Once planted it’s important 

to keep them well watered at all 

times. When the weather starts to 

warm up during spring it’s a good 

idea to surround the seedlings 

with peastraw or newspaper to 

help keep away weeds and retain 

water. The more moisture they get 

the juicier the fruit will be. 

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. 

Then sit back and wait till 

Christmas to enjoy the sweet sensation 

of your own hard work. 

Once your strawberry harvest 

has finished, if you’re using hanging 

baskets or similar containers, 

it’s best to pull out your strawberries 

and plant new ones after a 

year to freshen up the soil (don’t 

forget to use new potting mix). 

But if they’re in your garden, 

your strawberry patch will last a 

couple of years. After this you can 

simply use a combination of your 

runners and new plants to create a 

new patch.

GETAWAY TO AlpinE pACiFiC TriAnGlE 

The spectacular getaway 

in Christchurch’s backyard 

With iconic thermal pools, 

villages surrounded by 

mountains and forests, one 

of the country’s premier wine 

regions and spectacular wildlife (including 

whales!), the Alpine Pacific touring Route 

(APt) is a road trip like no other. 

The 370-km journey takes in the hurunui 

Region’s most spectacular 

sights, winding its way 

through hanmer Springs, 

the Waipara Valley and 

onto Kaikoura. What’s 

more, it starts just a stone’s 

throw from Christchurch 

but feels a world away 

from the city so is the 

ultimate and easy escape. 

Anyone who has driven 

up State highway one 

near the Waipara Valley in recent years will 

have noticed the rapid growth of this winegrowing 

region. it now has 74 vineyards, 

31 wineries and four wonderful winery 

restaurants – perfect for a lingering lunch 

stop. The wines here are among the best in 

the world and have the international awards 

to prove it. 

From Waipara, the APt will take you 

north-west to hanmer Springs, one of 

Christchurch’s favourite holiday destinations 

with fresh air, mountains and forests galore. 

The iconic hanmer Springs Thermal 

Pools and Spa is still one of the country’s 

most popular attractions with its famous 

naturally heated, mineral-filled waters. The 

complex now has 15 thermal pools, as well as 

two hydroslides and the South island’s only 

aquatic thrill ride, the SuperBowl. 

The village’s retail sector has undergone 

a huge boom in recent times with a new 

shopping centre on Conical hill Road and 

dozens of boutiques attracting visitors to the 

village. 

hanmer Springs is 

also fast becoming the 

unofficial spa capital of 

new Zealand and now 

has more than a dozen 

operators offering a 

wide range of services. 

There are numerous 

styles of massage, a 

full range of beauty 

treatments (from facials 

to pedicures) and holistic treatments such as 

reiki and acupuncture all on offer. 

The drive from hanmer Springs to 

Kaikoura along the Leader Road is stunning 

and a trip not many Cantabrians have ticked 

off. it takes you through historic villages and 

rolling hills with plenty of photo stops. 

Eco-tourism capital Kaikoura is, of 

course, most famous for its whale watching 

opportunities but that is just the tip of the 

iceberg when it comes to the area’s wildlife 

offering. Don’t miss the ohau Stream Walk, 

an easy 280-metre track, to a picturesque 

waterfall that is popular with baby seals in 

winter - delighting all who visit. 

Kaikoura literally means ‘a meal of crayfish’ 

and there are plenty of opportunities to 

sample this local delicacy. And, coupled 

with a glass of Waipara Valley wine, there is 

possibly no better way to end this fabulous 

journey.

PHOTOGENIC: Model Lucy Wyma is at home in Christchurch spending time with family and friends before she heads back to 

Sydney’s bright lights and runways.

• By Chelsea Daniels 

IT’S BEEN a whirlwind year for 

Lucy Wyma. 

From humble beginnings, 

Lucy, 20, made the jump across 

the Tasman to Sydney two 

months ago, where she’s signed 

with international modelling 

agency IMG Models. 

On their client list is the likes 

of Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr 

and Rosie Huntington-Whitely, 

along with countless other Victoria’s 

Secret angels. 

She’s back in town for two 

weeks, catching up with family 

and friends. 

The life of a full-time model 

may be perceived as a glamorous 

occupation. Beautiful or 

oddly striking girls acting as a 

clothes hanger while a photographer 

captures 300 frames for 

that one perfect shot. 

In the time of the supermodel 

in the early 1990s, Linda Evangelista 

was once quoted as saying: 

“I won’t get out of bed for 

less than $10,000.” And that’s 

United States dollars. 

But Lucy says the glamour is 

only a small part of her routine. 

“It’s a lot of hard work behind 

the scenes. A lot of running 

around doing castings and putting 

a lot of effort into building 

up your book,” she said. 

One of the world’s most iconic 

cityscapes, Sydney, is arguably 

Australia’s equivalent to the 

bright lights of Hollywood. 

“I love it. It’s big and bustling 

with lots of people. It was a bit 

of a shock when I first got there 

because it was so busy.” 

People flock to the city, attracted 

like bugs to the glitz and 

glamour and the feeling that 

something big is happening, 

and one only has to turn a corner 

to be a part of it. 

“I sometimes miss the quietness 

of Christchurch, the tranquillity 

that it brings. It is a bit 

crazy over there [in Sydney].” 

Sydney is the birthplace of the 

country’s fashion week, where 

Australian, Asian and Pacific 

designers all showcase their 

spring/summer collections. 

Her runway debut at Fashion 

Week Australia in May this 

year was for internationally renowned 

Sydney-based designer 

Toni Maticevski. 

His garments are famous for 

their raw, boundary-pushing 

design and elegant use of drapery. 

The show kicked off the week, 

and Lucy’s runway career. 

“It was my first ever international 

show,” she said with a 

laugh. “It was a really good way 

to start it all off.” 

She hit the runway for several 

other designers throughout the 

week as well. 

What’s next for this Cantabrian 

beauty? The world is her 

oyster, but she’s not yet finished 

with Sydney. 

“I’ll look at going overseas to 

Europe or Asia. But for now, I’m 

working on getting the most out 

of it that I can, and see where it 

takes me.”

Coastal Spirit Football Club 

Kanga Cup Youth Tournament 

Canberra, July 2016 


Talented young players looking forward to tournament 

This weekend Coastal Spirit Football Club will 

send an U13 boys side to compete in the Kanga 

Cup Youth Football Tournament in Canberra, 

Australia. The Kanga Cup is the largest youth 

football tournament in the Southern Hemisphere, 

with club teams from Australia, New Zealand, and 

Asia taking part. 

The team is made up of 12 and 13 year old boys 

who are members of the clubs 12th and 13th 

grade teams playing in the Mainland Football 

competition. 

The Kanga Cup is an important step in the 

club’s development pathway, with many current 

MPL and WPL players such as Tristan Nicol, 

Cassius Kitchen

Zac Gordon, Emma Clarke and Britney-Lee 

Nicholson all playing at the tournament in 

previous years. Paul Bateson, the club’s Football 

Development Manager, stressed the importance 

of participating in such a tournament, “Last season, 

the club couldn’t get a team over there so this year 

it was vital to get back on track. The impetus that 

will hit the guys on their return will be massive. We 

are already putting a development opportunity to 

replace the recently dissolved Nike Cup to ensure 

they can work toward their next challenge”. 

This group of boys have worked very hard over 

the past 6 months or so under the leadership of 

Dave Gregson in areas of tactical and technical

play plus how to prepare physically and mentally 

for the challenge ahead. The group had a tough 

season last year but have bounced back to play 

some expansive, attacking football and jump to 

the top three in their division with the chance of 

been promoted back to Division 1 for next season. 

“I have high expectations of this group of 

athletes as they follow in the steps of past Coastal 

Spirit teams to not only compete but succeed at 

this prestigious event”, stated Bateson. “The club 

believe this will give these aspiring footballers 

fantastic experience to grow into great people 

and great footballers”. 

We are fortunate that we have had a great bunch 

of parents and staff who have worked tirelessly 

to make this trip happen through fundraising 

and organising logistics. Bateson wanted to 

make mention to the people that have made 

this happen. “The club are grateful to all families, 

sponsors, funders and supporters that have made 

this happen”.

Warriors ‘still building’ ahead of Titans clash 

THE WARRIORS are buoyed 

by their gritty effort in their 

golden point defeat to Cronulla, 

but halfback Shaun Johnson 

said they need to reproduce that 

energy in Saturday’s home clash 

against the Gold Coast. 

The Warriors were left hurting 

after last Saturday’s 19-18 extra 

time loss to the competition 

leading Sharks, and need 

to quickly re-focus before 

meeting the Titans at Mt Smart 

Stadium in a clash that could 

impact heavily on their finals 

hopes. 

The heartbreaking result ended 

the Warriors three-game winning 

run to see them drop one 

place to occupy 11th position on 

the NRL ladder on 16 points, to 

sit one spot behind the Titans on 

for and against. 

Johnson said his side had room 

for further improvement and a 

win over the Titans ahead of next 

week’s second bye round would 

give their top eight prospects a 

timely four-point boost. 

“It’s hard to take the loss and 

there’s definitely some learning 

in it for us but we’re still building 

as a team I feel,” Johnson 

told the Warriors club website 

post-match. 

“They’re the benchmark in the 

comp at the moment and we had 

a crack and played some good 

footy and obviously kept with 

them. 

“The Titans play a different 

way but we’ve got to take that 

energy back to Mt Smart. 

“We’ve had some good crowds 

there so we’re really excited to 

get home and play in front of 

them leading into the bye.” 

The Titans will head to 

Auckland with limited options 

in the outside backs, after 

centre Nathan Davis dislocated 

and broke his right leg making 

a tackle on Raiders captain 

Jarrod Croker in Sunday’s 30-22 

defeat to Canberra at Cbus Super 

Stadium. 

Co-captain and fullback 

William Zillman will need to 

overcome a foot injury, while 

David Mead (knee), John Olive 

and former Warriors centre 

Konrad Hurrell (calf) are not 

due to return until the round 19 

game against St George Illawarra.

Rangiora High will look to show 

they can be amongst the best of 

the rest when they host Marlborough 

Boys’ College. Rangiora are

World stage for futsal referee 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CHRIS SINCLAIR will be on 

the world stage in September 

when he referees at the Futsal 

World Cup in Colombia. 

Sinclair began playing Futsal 

– a five-a-side version on football 

played on an indoor court 

– in 2004. 

He’s progressed a long way 

since his playing days as a goalkeeper. 

He’s now the country’s 

elite futsal official. 

“This started out as out 

football team playing some 

indoor football. Futsal had a 

few more rules than football, so 

I was interested in finding out 

the differences, so I could adapt 

and make a better player,” said 

Sinclair. 

While he enjoyed playing 

at the top level he decided his 

preferred path would be the 

challenge of refereeing. 

“I had a realistic chance to 

make a good go of it as a referee. 

That’s when I switched my main 

focus to refereeing with the goal 

to ref at the 2016 World Cup in 

mind.” 

The sacrifice involved ending 

his futsal and football playing 

careers to pursue the four-year 

goal. 

“My first year as a FIFA futsal 

ON THE WORLD STAGE: Chris Sinclair (left) will be New Zealand’s only representative at 

September’s Futsal World Cup in Colombia. 

referee was in 2014, which was 

one of the milestones set to 

achieve, gaining lots of experience.” 

Sinclair had some good 

feedback following the Oceania 

Futsal Championships in Fiji 

earlier this year. His name was 

put forward following the tournament 

and now he’s on his way 

to Colombia, to be part of the 

world largest futsal tournament. 

“I am over the moon to be selected. 

It’s the pinnacle of what 

we work hard for as referees, 

the dedication, hard work and 

sacrifices over the year.” 

Although he will be heading 

to South America to live his 

dream, Sinclair, in the long 

term, hopes to grow futsal in the 

region. 

“To be able to pass on my 

knowledge to others so I can 

support their learning and 

development is one of the major 

roles that I can play. There is 

nothing more rewarding than 

seeing your knowledge that 

you pass on being used to good 

effect.” 

Sinclair will depart for 

Colombia in early September. 

The FIFA Futsal World Cup 

Finals runs from September 10 

to October 1.

HOW TO PLAY 

It’s like sudoku: each 

vertical and horizontal 

line has to contain 

the numbers 1-6, and 

the numbers can’t be 

repeated in any row or 

column. 

But it’s sudoku with a 

twist: The numbers in 

each heavily outlined 

set of squares, called 

cages, must produce the 

number in the top corner. 

For example, 5+ means 

the numbers add up to 5, 

9x means the numbers 

multiply to equal 9. 

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the 

same line or row.

Driven 

Pajero Sport takes over from Challenger 

• By Ross Kiddie 

THERE’S NOTHING new with 

the concept of ute-based, fourwheel-drive 

SUVs. Mitsubishi 

almost pioneered that part of 

the market in 1996 with its 

Challenger, and there has been a 

succession of Challenger models 

since. 

Today, Mitsubishi still has an 

SUV which shares a lot of componentry 

with Triton but it is distanced 

from it in the respect that 

it is a lot more sophisticated, the 

Pajero Sport fits below the Pajero 

proper but, in concept, it is more 

car-like than ute-like. 

The Pajero Sport is built 

around a ladder chassis, live rear 

axle and suspension elements 

which are engineered for the serious 

off-road journey. 

Today, a lot of manufacturers 

are building vehicles to that formula, 

Toyota has just released the 

Hilux-based Fortuner, Holden 

has long had Colorado7 and 

Ford’s Everest is based on the 

Ranger platform. With today’s 

technology these vehicles are 

becoming a lot more refined in 

the way they operate, they are 

also styled so that they lose their 

association with the ute stablemates, 

and look pleasing to the 

eye. 

The Pajero Sport arrives with 

diesel power only, courtesy of 

the Triton, it is a 2.5-litre fourcylinder 

unit and is rated by 

Mitsubishi with 135kW and 

437Nm. It is a true powerhouse 

and drives through the 

sophistication of an eight-speed 

automatic gearbox. The engine/ 

gearbox combination is rather 

special, especially so with the 

number of ratios, there is almost 

seamless gearing offering the best 

structures for both off-road challenges, 

and easy momentum for 

the everyday commute. 

Of course, the Pajero Sport also 

gets a seriously low ratio transfer 

system for when those fourwheel-drive 

tracks beckon. You 

can guarantee the mechanical 

elements have been engineered 

to stand the test of time, after all 

Mitsubishi offer a 10-year driveline 

warranty. 

The Pajero Sport lands here in 

two variants, effectively low grade 

or high-grade – XLS or VRX – 

bearing in mind that a seven-seat 

option is yet to be made available 

on the model. The test car was a 

VRX and it lists at $63,990, the 

XLS landing at $58,990. 

For that price it gets a strong 

specification list for comfort and 

convenience, a few of the major 

items include full leather trim, 

heated front seats which are 

electrically adjustable and state-

SUBARU LEVORG: The spiritual successor to Legacy GT at $56,990. 

Subaru Levorg launched 

• By Ross Kiddie 

A NEW Subaru model 

is now available in New 

Zealand. 

Levorg – the name a 

combination of Legacy, 

revolutionary and touring 

– is described as a sports 

wagon and is based on 

Subaru’s four-wheel-drive 

platform. 

The Levorg is powered 

by a 2-litre turbocharged 

engine and drives through 

an eight-step continuously 

variable automatic transmission. 

The spiritual successor to 

the Legacy GT wagon the 

Levorg is offered in just one 

specification and is priced 

at $56,990. 

Some of the major items 

of fitment include satellite 

THE WORLD’S most loved 

car, the Toyota Corolla, is 

now available with a hybrid 

powertrain in New Zealand. 

The Corolla hybrid 

is based on the popular 

petrol-engined Corolla 

GLX model and will sell for 

$38,490 with an eight-year 

warranty on the hybrid 

battery. 

“With fuel saving hybrid 

technology in our largest 

selling passenger car we are 

giving more customers the 

opportunity to reduce their 

operating costs,” said Spencer 

Morris, Toyota New 

Zealand’s general manager 

of product. 

“We’re taking it mainstream 

by marrying our 

biggest selling car with 

hybrid technology.’’ 

Toyota New Zealand 

expects to sell up to 400 

Corolla hybrids in the second 

half of this year, with 

total Corolla sales expected 

to exceed 6000 in 2016. 

Corolla hybrid also gives 

Toyota the opportunity to 

dispel some of the myths 

and misinformation around 

the technology said Mr 

Morris. 

navigation, Eyesight safety 

technology and Bilstein 

suspension. 

The engine is rated with 

197kW of power and 

350Nm of torque yet will 

still provide an 8.7-litre 

combined cycle fuel usage 

average. It will also accelerate 

to 100km/h in 6.6sec. 

Subaru of New Zealand’s 

managing director, Wallis 

Dumper, says: “Levorg 

is an exciting and superior, 

all-new sports wagon 

package that combines 

turbocharged driving performance, 

nimble handling, 

safety and versatility in an 

optimal body size. 

“It’s innovative, and 

embodies both sports and 

touring performance.’’ 

The Levorg was presented 

to the New Zealand media 

“It’s not a plug-in. Range 

anxiety is not an issue like 

a pure electric vehicle,” he 

said. 

“It improves fuel efficiency 

by reclaiming wasted 

energy through regenerative 

braking and engine 

stop/start.” 

The Corolla hybrid 

utilises a 1.8-litre engine 

and has an overall fuel 

consumption of 4.1/100km. 

The Hybrid Synergy 

Drive system has a combined 

output of 100kW. 

Power is transmitted by 

an electronic continuously 

on the roads of Otago and 

on the track at Cromwell’s 

Highlands Motorsport 

Park. 

In both situations it provided 

a feel of competence 

and sure-footedness. It has 

controlled body movement 

and accurate steering 

direction. The power flows 

seamlessly through the 

transmission with quiet response 

under acceleration. 

Said Mr Dumper: “The 

Levorg is an exotic mix 

of wagon utility – where 

owners benefit from the 

wide cabin space and 

comfort – combined with 

the handling, dynamic 

performance and style of a 

sports car. 

A full evaluation on the 

Levorg will appear in these 

columns next month.

You can feel the quality of this wonderfully designed home from the moment you 

step inside. With high stud ceilings to enhance the sense of spaciousness of this 

already well proportioned home, it features open plan living, with a kitchen that 

is the focal point and an entertainer’s dream, together with a separate formal 

lounge. We are sure you will appreciate the 4 great sized double bedrooms with 

the master bedroom boasting a beautiful double tiled shower in the ensuite and 

there’s also a handy separate laundry to keep the washing hidden away! The 

private outdoor living is accessed with ease through ranch sliders leading from 

both the dining and living area, giving you fabulous options to entertain either

bluegrass, reggae and post punk is 

caressed, coaxed and beaten out of three 

innocent wee ukuleles. Great song 

writing, musicianship and 3-part 

harmony combine to create a truly 

memorable experience. 

Catch them on Friday night at the 

Wunderbar, Lyttelton with local outfit

Big kites are flown on the 

beach near the pier almost 

every day that conditions are 

suitable. Go along to watch, or 

bring a kite and join in. Let the 

children experience the joy of 

kites instead of playing with 

their electronic gadgets. People 

complain about the Christchurch 

easterly wind, but it’s ideal for 

kite-flying, so dress appropriately 

and come along, any time of the 

year.
