Drug use 

fuels a 

surge in 

burglaries 

THERAPEUTIC: Eliza Kennelly, 8, named her teddy Izzie. 

ELIZA KENNELLY has a 

new buddy to cuddle while 

she waits to hear whether she 

will need to have her appendix 

removed. 

The eight-year-old was 

one of many sick children in 

Christchurch Hospital to receive 

a new friend to provide comfort 

while they are in hospital for 

surgery. 

Two hundred and fifty teddies 

were handed out yesterday as 

part of the joint venture between 

the Surgical Research Trust and 

children’s products company, 

phil&teds. 

Eliza said the initiative was 

“really cool” and she named her 

teddy Izzie. 

A panda helped present the 

children with their new friends, 

and also gave them adoption 

papers so they could take their 

teddy home. 

“He’s very fun and nice and 

cuddly,” Eliza said.

RISING DRUG use is fuelling 

a surge in burglaries across the 

city. 

Latest police figures show there 

were 6407 burglaries reported 

over the last 12 months, 13 per 

cent up from the 5659 reported 

the year before. 

A second report shows 

methamphetamine, synthetic 

cannabis, ecstasy and opiod use 

in Christchurch are all on the 

rise. 

Police say the two are usually 

linked, and they are targeting 

drug use and supply to try to 

reduce burglaries and thefts. 

There has been a particular 

spike in burglaries in the southwest, 

with numbers in Wigram 

up from 95 to 109, in Hornby up 

from 77 to 113, and in Sockburn 

up from 96 to 136. 

Canterbury District 

Commander John Price said 

that as well as working to catch 

burglars, police were targeting 

receivers of stolen goods and 

drug suppliers to try to “break 

the cycle.” 

“We are focusing on drugs

THE NUMBERS 

•6407 burglaries were 

reported in Christchurch in 

the last 12 months 

•The figures are up 13 per 

cent on last year, when 

there were 5659 reported 

•Burglaries were most 

common on Mondays 

•2-3pm was the most 

common time for 

burglaries 

because they are a causation of 

crime. People commit burglaries 

to steal goods to sell, to buy 

drugs,” he said. 

He said Christchurch police 

had also adopted a national 

policy of visiting every home 

where there was a break-in, to 

show police were taking burglaries 

seriously. 

Halswell Community Project 

chairwoman Chrys Horn said 

a lot of people in the area had 

reported burglaries around 

September, but they seemed to 

have dropped off as the people 

believed to be responsible had 

been caught.

A BIG spread today on one of 

Canterbury’s favourite sons – 

Scott Robertson (pages 24-25). 

Robertson is coaching the 

Crusaders next season, and if his 

tenure with Canterbury and the 

style they have played under his 

guidance is anything to go by, 

the Crusaders will be very, very 

tough to beat in 2017. 

But reporter Bridget Rutherford 

gets much more out of 

‘Razor’ than just rugby. He’s a 

good talker and communicator 

(no wonder he’s a good sports 

coach) and he reveals a number 

of interesting tidbits, including 

that famous or infamous breakdancing 

thing of his, and how he 

got his nickname. 

Also today we have the latest 

burglary statistics in Christchurch. 

And if you live in the west 

the news isn’t good. Burglaries 

there are increasing; not surprising 

with the amount of new 

subdivisions springing up.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw women vote for the first time 

in parliamentary elections on November 28, 1893. 

On the same day in 1908 work began on the Summit 

Rd. In 1964 Cashin Quay, in Lyttelton Harbour 

was opened. The engineering techniques used in 

reclaiming this area were unique in the world. On 

December 1, 1975, the Rolleston satellite town project 

was scrapped. On December 3, 1867, Canterbury 

Museum opened to the public in an upstairs room in 

the Canterbury Provincial Government Buildings. The 

collection had been assembled by Julius Von Haast. On 

December 3, 1972, the first Boeing 747 jumbo jet lands 

at Christchurch Airport, a Qantas flight from Sydney. 

KEAS MOVE CONES 

A mystery as to who has been moving 

road cones onto the road near the 

entrance of Homer Tunnel in Milford 

Sound has been solved. A group of kea 

were caught on CCTV footage moving 

the road cones that were sitting beside 

the entrance to the tunnel in case of 

it having to be closed. New Zealand 

Transport Agency staff couldn’t work 

out how it was happening until seeing 

the footage. It was looking at getting 

heavier road cones so kea could not 

move them.

Controversial flag removed from float 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

A CONFEDERATE flag that 

flies on the Santa Parade’s Dukes 

of Hazzard float will be removed 

after a complaint it had ties to 

white supremacy. 

Christchurch Santa Parade 

Trust received an email yesterday 

from a couple who said the 

flag was “highly inappropriate” 

and “culturally insensitive.” 

They wanted the float to be 

removed entirely. 

However, trust chairwoman 

Anne Jamieson said the float 

would remain, but it would not 

Dalziel backs funding parade 


MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has 

given an undertaking that the 

Santa Parade will not “fall over” 

after the city council cut the 

event’s funding by $25,000. 

Last week The 

Star revealed the 

parade, which attracts 

more than 

100,000 people 

each year, was in 

jeopardy because 

it received $60,000 

from the city council this year, 

compared to $85,000 last year. 

Organisers were worried it 

would get into strife in the future 

if it could not find funding 

elsewhere. 

Ms Dalziel said she was 

looking at including the parade 

in the city council’s budget from 

next year. 

That way money would be 

allocated to the parade each 

year and the trust would not 

have to apply for funding from 

the Events and Festivals Fund. 

“The Santa Parade is in a 

competitive fund whereby it 

competes with other events 

looking for funding assistance,” 

Ms Dalziel said. 

“We are not abandoning 

the Santa Parade and we will 

fly the flag in Sunday’s parade. 

The couple’s email said the flag 

still represented the white supremacy 

movement, and it had 

no business being in a public 

parade. 

The confederate flag was one 

of three that represented the 

Confederate States of America, 

which were slave states, during 

the American Civil War. It later 

featured in The Dukes of Hazzard 

television show, as it was 

painted on the roof of the car, 

General Lee. 

Ms Jamieson said the trust 

certainly make sure this popular 

Christchurch event doesn’t fall 

over.” 

The parade will celebrate its 

70th birthday on Sunday 

when it runs along Riccarton 

Rd, from Wharenui Rd 

towards Hagley Park from 

2pm. 

The Christchurch Santa 

Parade Trust says it costs more 

had responded to the couple’s 

concerns and said it did not 

bring politics into the Santa 

Parade. 

“It’s a kids’ Christmas parade.” 

She said the trust had forwarded 

the email onto police, 

who said they had taken note of 

it in case there were any protests. 

The flag was flown on the 

same float in last year’s Santa 

Parade, however, Ms Jamieson 

said they were not aware of it at 

the time. 

The same couple later contacted 

the trust to complain. 

than $100,000 to put the parade 

on each year. 

Trust chairwoman Anne 

Jamieson said it was fantastic 

to hear the city council was 

working to include the parade 

in the annual plan. 

“That is great news. It’s made 

my day.” 

Ms Dalziel said she had fond 

memories of the parade, and she

as a child when it was sponsored 

by Hay’s.

Montreal St and her nieces 

would visit to get a front seat

In Brief 

NURSES AWARDED 

A team of mental health nurses 

have been given a police award 

for their work with prisoners at 

the Christchurch Central Police 

Station watch house. The team of 

six work 24-hours to monitor and 

help people dealing with mental 

health, alcohol or drug issues while 

they are being held in the cells, 

and have been credited with saving 

lives through the work. They were 

awarded the District Commander’s 

Commendations award by 

Canterbury Superintendent John 

Price. 

IMPROVING NEW BRIGHTON 

A fund has been set up as part of 

New Brighton’s regeneration plan. 

Development Christchurch Ltd 

set up the Creating Momentum 

Regeneration Fund, which would 

see $100,000 made available to 

fund projects, initiatives, events 

and business ventures that 

contribute to the regeneration 

of the seaside suburb. It comes 

as Development Christchurch is 

going through feedback it received 

on developing a hot salt water pool 

facility. 

KINDY BATTLE LOST 

McCormacks Bay residents are 

unlikely to appeal a decision to 

rebuild a kindergarten in front of 

their homes because it would cost 

$50,000. Residents tried to stop 

Kidsfirst setting up a 248 sq m 

kindergarten next to Mt Pleasant 

Community Centre. They said the 

new kindergarten, which would 

be built in a different spot than 

the previous earthquake-damaged 

one, would block their views of 

the estuary. Resident Diane Keats 

said an appeal to Environment 

Canterbury against the decision 

couldn’t proceed because of the 

cost. 

GROYNES MASTER PLAN 

A master plan will be made for The 

Groynes and nearby Roto Kohatu 

Reserve to decide how they will 

be used in the future. The city 

council is asking for ideas on what 

people would like to see in those 

reserves. Consultation will close 

on December 12.

Dalziel steps into BP row 


MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel 

has stepped in to advocate for 

Edgeware residents who have 

been battling against a BP 

expansion. 

They spent more than six 

months trying to fight the 

expansion of the service station, 

but the plan was approved after a 

commissioner said the effect on 

neighbours would be “less than 

minor.” 

But now the expansion has 

been built, neighbours say that 

has been proven wrong. 

Where there used to be a row 

of established trees, neighbour 

Kazu Kano’s view from his home 

is now of a 20m long, almost 5m 

high white wall just behind the 

boundary fence. 

They told The Star last week 

the city council had abandoned 

them in their battle after they 

were told nothing more could be 

done. 

The expansion breached 

resource consent rules because 

the land was zoned residential, 

but the city council supported it 

anyway. 

Ms Dalziel personally 

approached BP this week, asking 

WALLED IN: Established trees which used to line the fence 

were ripped out to make way for the new BP building, as part 

of the expansion. 

for a representative to get in 

touch with her to discuss the 

situation, particularly around the 

landscaping. 

The residents met with BP representatives 

two weeks ago and 

asked them to do extra planting 

along the back wall of the building 

and to paint it a different 

colour to reduce the glare. 

But that request was refused. 

A BP spokeswoman said BP 

staff had spoken with Ms Dalziel. 

“We intend on having further 

discussions with her around the 

landscaping plans that were outlined 

in the resource consent,” 

she said. 

Mr Kano said the fact Ms 

Dalziel had stepped in was good 

news for the residents. 

“It is very good news for us. I 

much appreciate support from 

neighbours and Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel’s involvement,” he said. 

The Star emailed photos of

Kano (below) is happy the

advocate for residents

the new BP to Mr Mountfort 

and asked if he still believed the 

effects on neighbours were “quite 

benign.” 

He said he would not comment 

on decisions he had issued. 

Lotto profits 

go to quake 

relief fund 

KAIKOURA AND Hurunui 

will receive all the profits from 

next Saturday’s Lotto draw, 

just as Christchurch did in the 

aftermath of the February 2011 

earthquake. 

All profits from the Lotto, 

Powerball and Strike draw on 

December 10 will be donated to 

the Kaikoura/Hurunui earthquake 

relief fund. 

The Christchurch earthquake 

relief received $8 million when 

the last special purpose lottery 

was held in March 2011. 

“Our Lotto staff and retailers 

around the country really want 

to do something for the people 

of Kaikoura and we are really 

pleased to be able to help,” chief 

executive Wayne Pickup said. 

“Kiwis love playing Lotto to 

help support our communities, 

and the Kaikoura community is 

in need of help right now.” 

He said under the strict laws 

that governed the game it was 

not possible to donate the Powerball 

jackpot to the relief effort. 

The charity donation is permissible 

under the Gambling 

Act 2003, the Ministry of Internal 

Affairs said.

THOUSANDS OF Cantabrians from 

all walks of life are starting their 

preparations for The Star City2Surf 

with Mike Pero on Sunday, March 19. 

Entries are now open for the 43rd 

running of the event. 

In the past, the 14km event (starting 

at Centennial Park) has been 

seen as for runners only, but with 

the introduction of the very popular 

Sport Canterbury 6km event (starting 

at Hansen Park), this fun run is really 

about movement, whether it be running, 

jogging or walking. 

Both events finish at Ferrymead 

playing fields which will be full of 

family entertainment and prizes. The 

fun run is also free to participants 

under 10 years old. 

Next year’s The Star City2Surf 

with Mike Pero is proudly supporting 

Aviva family services. 

Looking to inspire others to put 

on the running shoes and get to the 

finish line are the Diaz family. 

The family began its journey to a 

healthy lifestyle through a Facebook 

page Hungry4Hauora. It highlights 

the family’s journey of ups and downs 

on the way to a healthy lifestyle. 

Normally very camera shy, Rudolph 

and wife Telena want to inspire others, 

especially the Maori and Pacific 

community. 

After just two months of regular 

exercise and nutritious eating, Mr 

Diaz says he has already noticed a difference 

in his energy levels and skin 

health. 

Working as a health and well-being 

adviser at He Waka Tapu, Mr Diaz 

is urging others who are looking to 

lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, 

to use The Star City2Surf with Mike 

Pero as a vehicle for change. 

He Waka Tapu had 600 participants 

in the 2016 event and is aiming to 

reach 1000 participants in 2017. 

The family has already set about 

getting active, regularly attending 

training circuits with the Hale Compound

are in is to set goals throughout the 

year. City2Surf is the main goal for a 

lot of people in our group,” Mr Diaz 

said. 

Getting fit for the 6km or 14km 

event will be just the start for the 

family who are looking to get to their

Adem Ferkatovich fled war-torn Yugoslavia and moved 

to New Zealand for a better life more than 60 years ago. 

Bridget Rutherford reports 

SIXTY YEARS ago today, Adem 

Ferkatovich married the girl 

he spotted across the room at a 

Christchurch dance hall. 

But if Mr Ferkatovich had 

not been able to overcome his 

shyness, it may never have happened. 

Because it was a nervous 

young Adem who simply 

couldn’t ask Elizabeth, 16, 

to dance when he saw her at 

Kilmore St’s Caledonian Dance 

Hall. 

But as she and her friend 

put on their coats to leave, he 

plucked up the courage to say: 

“Can I help you ladies?” 

“And he’s been helping me ever 

since,” Elizabeth said. 

It was a milestone Mr Ferkatovich, 

now 86, didn’t think he’d 

reach. He has just written a book 

that explains why. 

More than five years earlier, he 

escaped the Croatian Communist 

Army and fled to Greece. 

His father, Ibrahim, was killed 

in World War 2. His brother, 

Salko, was murdered by the

resistance army. And his mother, 

Majrem, died shortly after from 

a “broken heart.” 

He never saw his older sisters, 

Aica and Zuleyha, again after he 

was forced to join the army in 

1951. He doesn’t know if they are 

still alive. 

Mr Ferkatovich was born in 

Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, 

in a little village called Kazits. 

His parents wanted him to 

become a Muslim priest, but 

when he was 10, World War 2 

broke out. 

The Germans did not invade 

Yugoslavia until 1941, however, 

there were two resistance movements 

– the Communist Partisan 

Army and the Chetniks. 

“They were all just like butchers, 

they would kill each other,” 

he said. 

School was closed and it was 

too dangerous to stay in their 

home during the night, so they 

had to sleep in the bushes. 

Mr Ferkatovich’s older brother 

Salko carried a gun and protected 

the family.

ANNIVERSARY: Sixty 

years ago today, Adem 

and Elizabeth Ferkatovich 

got married at St John’s in 

Latimer Square. 

But one night the 17-year-old 

was captured. Three days later a 

parcel arrived at their home. 

“No one should have to see 

what was in that parcel,” Mr 

Ferkatovich said. 

It was Salko’s head. He still 

had his red scarf tied around his 

neck. It broke his mother.

love, loss and war put in print 

Mr Ferkatovich’s uncle looked 

after him and his sisters after the 

rest of the family died. 

In 1949, Mr Ferkatovich joined 

the army at 17, where he was to 

remain for three years. 

But 13 months later he fled. He 

wanted to escape communism 

and felt he was a puppet of Communist 

Partisan Army leader 

Josip Broz Tito. 

His army unit was based at Bitola, 

Macedonia, 15km from the 

Greek border. He was second in 

charge and did guard duties and 

went out on training exercises. 

That gave him the chance to 

plot his escape. 

“It took me months to find out 

if I could get out.” 

At 8.30pm the last guard 

changed. He had only 30min to 

get away before roll call. 

He ran towards Greece, initially 

along the road, then across 

the more discrete plough fields. 

When daylight came, he lay 

on the ground with his machine 

gun on his chest and covered 

himself with soil. 

Army officers came looking for 

him and, at one stage, were about 

4m from where he lay. 

He would rather have shot 

himself than be caught.

for 22 days. 

Then he was driven to Salonik 

and a refugee camp for 

immigrants. For 33 days, he was 

questioned to make sure he was 

not a spy. 

From there, he was taken to 

a refugee camp in Lavrio, near 

Athens, for 14 months. 

He feared he’d be sent back to 

Yugoslavia, until he was handed 

some brochures advertising Brazil, 

Canada, America, Australia 

and New Zealand. 

Because he was a soldier, he 

was allowed to choose where he 

could immigrate. 

New Zealand was the farthest

months and eventually got a job 

at Christchurch’s Firestone Rubber 

Company where he made

They were supposed to build 

36 tyres a day – but he built 120 

in seven hours and 15 minutes 

– a record he says still stands 

today.

Refugee’s harrowing story 


He and Elizabeth married in 

St John’s in Latimer Square on 

December 1, 1956, and they later 

put a deposit on a poultry farm 

on Woolridge Rd. 

After selling the farm, they 

bought a coffee lounge on High 

St in 1958. They transformed it 

into a popular restaurant and 

nightclub known as The Copper 

Cat. 

However, when the 10pm closing 

policy was introduced nine 

years later, they thought it would 

impact business so sold it. 

Hotel Russley was Mr Ferkatovich’s 

next job, where he 

worked as a bartender for 25 

years. A year after retiring, 

Lion Breweries decided to sell 

the hotel and the Ferkatovichs 

bought it. 

Nowadays Mr Ferkatovich 

likes spending time in their 

award-winning garden and playing 

golf at Russley. 

He has written a book, Adem’s 

Escape, so his three children and 

five grandchildren know where 

he came from. 

They ordered 100 copies and 

were selling them at Russley Golf 

Club, but the majority have sold 

out. 

Mr Ferkatovich doesn’t want 

BARTENDER: Adem Ferkatovich at Hotel Russley, where he 

worked for 25 years before buying it. 

to go back to his homeland. New 

Zealand is his home now. 

“There’s nothing there for me 

now.” 

If anyone asks, Adem jokes he 

was “born in Whakatane and 

educated in Rotorua,” although 

his accent gives it away. 

He’s a Canterbury and Crusaders 

fan – he used to serve 

former All Black and Canterbury 

coach Alex Wyllie at Hotel 

Russley. 

He returned to Europe for 

the first time in 2006, but the 

closest they got to his home was 

Dubrovnik, Croatia. He doesn’t 

even like seeing it on the news. 

“It always will be war.” 

The Ferkatovichs will go to 

Chateau on the Park today to 

celebrate the couple’s anniversary. 

“Where I come from family is 

everything.” 

•Adem’s Escape is being 

sold at Valentino’s Hair 

Design, Bishopdale. 

Health board may get 

fluoride hospital pass 


CANTERBURY District Health 

Board members may have the 

power to put fluoride in the city’s 

water within a year – but they 

are worried about the debate it is 

likely to spark. 

Government has 

taken the first step to 

put the fluoridation 

decision in the hands 

Jo Kane 

Murray 

Cleverley 

of district health 

boards, rather than 

councils, in a new 

bill put to Parliament 

this month. 

Health board 

member Jo Kane 

said she was open 

to adding fluoride 

to Christchurch’s 

water, but said it was the wrong 

time and wrong way to have the 

debate. 

She said CDHB was already 

facing the rebuild of its facilities, 

dealing with the latest 

earthquake response, trying 

to improve community health 

systems and dealing with budget 

shortages. 

“When you’re going out to the 

community and trying to bring 

in important health changes, this 

kind of sideshow takes over and 

it could just derail it completely,” 

she said. 

If science backed up that putting 

extra fluoride in the water 

was the best way to supplement 

people’s diet, it should be done 

nationally not by region, she said. 

“The Government hasn’t had 

the guts to make this decision 

themselves,” she said. 

She was also concerned about 

the costs a decision to add fluoride 

would put on councils. 

Health board chairman Murray 

Cleverley said giving the 

power to health boards was still 

far from a done deal. 

The new bill will need to go 

through the normal Parliamentary 

process and through public 

consultation before it can be 

approved.

Crutches no barrier to top fitness award 


WHEN CATE Grace went 

up on stage to collect her NZ 

Register of Exercise Professionals 

Industry Award, one of the top 

honours a personal trainer can 

be given, it was on crutches. 

While she works to help others 

overcome their physical battles, 

she is fighting one of her own. 

She was diagnosed with arthritis 

in her 20s, given a Zimmer 

frame, and told she would probably 

be in a wheelchair by the 

time she was 40. 

Now 42, although she still 

battles with pain, she runs her 

own growing personal training 

business, has helped hundreds of 

clients, and is still active herself. 

But she said her life was far 

from a perfect success story. 

For a long time after the 

diagnosis she said she let it 

overwhelm her, and stayed at 

home getting more and more 

overweight and unfit. 

“Everyone was saying to me 

you need to exercise, Cate. So I 

made a conscious effort and went 

around heaps of gyms trying to 

sign up, but they looked at me 

and turned me away,” she said. 

That was what drove her to 

start her own personal training 

business eight years ago – 

helping people struggling with 

HIGH PRAISE: Cate Grace with her husband, Riwai, at the NZ 

Register of Exercise Professionals ceremony where she was 

given an industry award for her work as a personal trainer. 

the similar issues. 

Instead, she had drawn in 

a huge range of people of all 

ages, dealing with all kinds of 

challenges. 

C 

25 years 

g 

Her youngest current client is 

seven, and her oldest 72. 

She now has five staff, and also 

works alongside her husband, 

Riwai, who coaches boxing as 

“Tutuman on Tour”. 

She recently rebranded the 

business as Grace Training, 

formerly Leap Fitness and Motivation, 

and is in the process of 

developing a new Whānau Ora 

programme. 

In presenting the award, the 

NZ Register of Exercise Professionals 

said her work was “part 

business, part humanitarian”, 

and created a safe and inclusive 

space which was accepting of 

people as they come. 

The award is not given out 

every year, and only awarded to 

people the board decides contribute 

something exceptional to 

the industry. 

She said winning it was completely 

unexpected. 

“When someone called my 

name I actually wasn’t even listening, 

and I had to be elbowed,” 

she said. 

She said getting up on stage 

to accept it in front of hundreds 

Celebrating 

25 years 

of other trainers and people 

in the industry was both scary 

and very emotional. 

“I’m very thankful for waterproof 

mascara,” she said. 

She said one of the hardest 

parts for herself and for many of 

her clients was when their condition 

meant they had to give up 

hobbies. 

For herself it was playing sport, 

including netball, softball and 

touch rugby. 

It could feel like losing your 

identity, she said. 

“I will never play competitive 

netball again. I probably 

wouldn’t have now anyway, 

because I’m in my 40s, but sometimes 

you still sit there and you 

miss it,” she said. 

But in spite of the challenges, 

she said she had reached the 

point where she looked at her 

health conditions as a positive 

thing. 

“Without the arthritis I 

wouldn’t have had opportunity, 

so I can actually say this is the 

best thing that has happened 

to me, because it has led to all 

this. You have to keep your head 

above water and think there’s an 

opportunity here, look for the 

opportunity not at the pain. So 

I don’t want the challenges to 

stop.”

Stressed hospital staff fed up 


THERE ARE warnings patients 

at Christchurch hospitals could 

be at risk, as a growing number 

of hospital staff say they face an 

excessive workload and do not 

feel valued. 

The Star has obtained the 

results of the Canterbury 

District Health Board’s latest 

staff well-being survey, which 

showed more than 90 per cent 

of staff felt stressed because of 

pressures at work. 

Those pressures included 

excessive workloads, poor 

physical work conditions, poor 

communication, increased 

administration or compliance 

duties and not feeling valued. 

NZ Nurses Organisation 

industrial adviser Lesley Harry 

said staff had gone the extra 

mile to keep providing the 

same care to patients since the 

earthquakes, but that was taking 

a toll. 

“They do that by not taking 

their breaks, by not taking leave 

when they should, by coming 

into work when they’re unwell,” 

she said. 

“People are starting to crack, 

and working under pressure, 

particularly now with the latest 

earthquake, will become 

PRESSURE: More than 90 per cent of Christchurch Hospital 

staff surveyed said they felt stressed because of pressures 

at work. 

unbearable for some.” 

She was worried about the 

impact it would have on patient 

care and the higher risk of accidents. 

“The effects of this stress on 

patients is really well documented. 

There is absolutely a 

link. If you’ve got a stressed 

workforce it does lead to poorer 

patient outcomes,” she said. 

It comes at a time when junior 

doctors have been striking 

over their work hours, as some 

work up to 12 days in a row 

under the current contracts. 

A nationwide strike had been 

planned last week, but that was 

cancelled because of the earthquake 

response. 

CDHB chief executive David 

Meates said staff were facing 

“unprecedented pressures” 

at work, at home, and in the 

health system. 

“The impact of 14,000 damaged 

hospital rooms and 44 demolished 

buildings should not 

be underestimated,” he said. 

He said the CDHB was 

working with the unions to 

develop a well-being strategy 

for staff, focused on building 

leadership, developing a 

supportive culture and 

improving people management. 

Since 2011, he said the investment 

in counselling support 

programmes for staff had been 

raised 40 per cent, advice on 

things ranging from financial 

issues to sleep had been available 

and there had been a lot 

of demand for staff “well-being 

workshops.” 

Although 89 per cent said 

they felt they made a contribution 

to the success of the 

CDHB, only 44 per cent felt 

valued as a CDHB employee. 

But things they said they valued 

at work included support 

from managers and colleagues, 

communication from management, 

training opportunities 

and flexibility around their 

work. 

But Ms Harry said it was 

good to see more staff participating 

in the survey, as it 

showed they were engaged. 

This year, 4042 staff took part, 

compared with 2308 in 2014. 

“We appreciate, actually, 

that the CDHB do survey their 

staff well-being. I think it takes 

a certain amount of courage, 

particularly when the results 

are likely to be negative, so 

good on them,” she said. 

Lavish golf 

resort plans 

on hold 


THE DEVELOPMENT of a new $160 

million golf resort in Spencerville 

appears to have stalled. 

South Korean businessman Thomas 

Na was to develop Whisper Creek 

Golf Resort on 157ha of land next to 

the Styx River. Earthworks were due 

to begin on the site early last year, with 

the golf course opened by the end of 

2015 – however, the development is on 

hold. 

Real estate agent Chris Jones, who 

was originally selling the sections, told 

The Star he did not know if the project 

would go ahead. 

“They haven’t committed to it either 

way.” 

He said they had been taking down 

names and numbers for people interested 

in buying residential sections at 

the resort. The development was to include 

an 18-hole golf course designed 

by English golfing great Nick Faldo, 

a golfing academy, an indoor sports 

complex, 141 sections and 113 resort 

apartments. 

Mr Na bought the land more than 

10 years ago and spent $17 million 

trying to get the development going. 

He had said it would provide more 

than 100 jobs. Sections went on sale in 

August, 2013, costing about $700,000.

Gallery ‘forgotten’ – grandson 


THE CITY council would 

rather build onto the 

Christchurch Art Gallery, 

than use the repaired Robert 

McDougall Art Gallery as an 

exhibition space. 

Robert McDougall’s grandson 

Tim Seay wants the historic 

gallery in the Botanic Gardens 

named after his grandfather 

to house some of the city’s art 

collection, currently displayed at 

Christchurch Art Gallery. 

However, Christchurch Art 

Gallery director Jenny Harper 

said it would prefer to build 

onto the gallery, than have its 

collection on two sites. 

The Robert McDougall Art 

Gallery was the city’s main art 

exhibition space until Christchurch 

Art Gallery opened in 

2003. 

Strengthening to bring it up 

to standard has begun, and the 

city council is negotiating a 

lease with Canterbury Museum 

to use the building once it 

reopens. 

HISTORIC: Robert McDougall’s grandson, Tim Seay, says the 

Robert McDougall Art Gallery should be used to showcase 

the city’s art collection, alongside Christchurch Art Gallery. 

Mr Seay said Christchurch 

Art Gallery was running out of 

space to house the whole collection, 

and it would be cheaper to 

utilise a space that was already 

built. 

Ms Harper said the gallery 

would need to think about more 

storage at “some point in the future”, 

which would be proposed 

in the next planning round. 

One possibility was to build 

on the former Gallery Apartments 

site, that the city council 

owned. It could be used by the 

gallery’s administration, other 

activities with storage and exhibition 

space, she said. 

“This is preferable and would 

be more cost-effective than running 

a two-site gallery.’’ 

It could involve a publicprivate 

partnership, she said. 

Mr Seay said his grandfather 

donated the money for the 

Robert McDougall Art Gallery’s 

construction in 1928 so it would 

be used as an art gallery, not for 

museum items. 

When Christchurch Art 

Gallery was opened the 

gallery was deemed surplus 

to requirements, and the city 

council changed its act so it 

could be used for museum 

activities, he said. 

“The council can legally lease 

the building to the museum, 

but they can only do that if they 

break the 1928 agreement with 

my grandfather. That agreement 

should be honoured by the 

council of 2016.” 

He wanted the city council to 

honour his grandfather’s gift. 

“It’s the forgotten building 

of Christchurch, completely 

forgotten.” 

Bid to beat 

new freedom 

camping rules 

FREEDOM CAMPERS have been 

forging stickers that show whether a 

vehicle is properly certified as being 

self-contained. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston said staff 

would be out in force patrolling this 

summer, paying particular attention 

to the stickers that show whether a 

vehicle is properly certified as being 

self-contained by the New Zealand 

Motor Caravan Association. 

“We’ve seen instances where people 

have tried to forge these stickers 

in an attempt to flout the rules, but 

staff are aware of this and know 

what to look out for,” she said. 

The new rules, which come into 

effect today, ban all freedom camping 

vehicles without toilets in them. 

The changes also see freedom 

camping at five hot spots, Addington 

Park, Lower Styx River car 

park, Windsport Park, Wainui and 

French Farm completely banned. 

Certified vehicles with on-board 

wastewater facilities that have been 

approved by the association will 

be allowed to camp without a time 

restriction in rural zones. 

SOUTHERN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 

*Direct 

material costs apply 

Construction courses at SIT 

A call for more experienced builders 

throughout the Canterbury region is 

being answered in the form of two 

construction courses at the Southern 

Institute of Technology (SIT). 

The Level 2 National Certificate 

in Building, Construction and 

Applied Trade Skills, and the Level 

3 Certificate in Construction were 

formed to equip students with the 

necessary skills to start a successful 

career in the construction industry. 

The 10-week Level two certificate 

focuses on giving students practical 

skills for construction for a headstart 

in the industry, while the 40- 

week full time National Certificate 

covers carpentry theory, elementary 

construction skills, health and safety, 

drawing and practical construction 

skills. 

The majority of each certificate 

is practical, so students who enjoy 

working with their hands will have the 

opportunity to design and build from 

scratch, with the Level 3 certificate 

offering the opportunity to participate 

in house building in Christchurch 

campus’s fully-equipped workshops 

with leading edge equipment. 

SIT is a community-oriented 

institute, which means students 

will receive employer-based work 

experience with the biggest names in 

construction, which can pave their 

way to apprenticeships, jobs and 

promotions. 

So for the student looking to build 

a career in construction, visit www.

Electric car 

charging stations 

planned for city 


SEVEN MORE electric car 

charging stations will be installed 

across the city after Little River 

received the first last week. 

City council resource efficiency 

manager Kevin Crutchley said 

five more stations would be installed 

in conjunction with Orion, 

while the city council would fund 

two extra on its own. 

He said the standard electric 

vehicle chargers have two sockets 

to charge two vehicles, so there 

would be 30 standard charging 

sockets and one fast charger 

across the city once they were all 

installed. 

Little River received a fast 

charger and a standard charger 

last week, he said, while Akaroa is 

going to get two standard chargers. 

Sumner, New Brighton, Parklands 

and the Botanic Gardens 

car park would also get a standard 

charger each, he said. 

These would all be installed 

before February. 

The city council is also planning 

on installing five standard chargers 

at the new Lichfield St car park 

being built, and QE II Recreation 

and Sport Centre, which it would 

fund itself, he said. 

Rescue effort to relocate eels 

• By Tom Doudney 

SOCIAL MEDIA has been used 

to mobilise a rescue effort to 

relocate eels trapped in dried 

up stretches of the Selwyn/ 

Waikirikiri River. 

Volunteers, Department of 

Conservation and Environment 

Canterbury staff and Fish and 

Game officers spent several days 

last week finding and relocating 

eels trapped in a stretch of 

the river which extended both 

upstream and 

downstream 

from the State 

Highway 1 

bridge. 

A post by 

Will Clayton in 

the Rolleston 

Community Page on Facebook 

was widely shared and more 

than 60 people commented with 

a number of people offering advice 

or reporting that they were 

heading down to help. 

However, reports suggested 

many eels and other species 

such as trout had already died 

by the time they were found. 

One person had found “78 

dead eels, lots of dead small 

trout, and four very big live 

eels.” 

Te Ara Kakariki Greenway 

SAD SIGHT: Photos of eels trapped in the Selwyn/Waikirikiri 

River, and others which were relocated, were shared to the 

Rolleston Community Page on Facebook. 

Trust chairman Craig Pauling 

(left), also a former member 

of Ngāi Tahu’s Te Waihora 

Management Board, said the 

situation was pretty sad. 

He believed that the endangered 

longfin eels would be most 

affected as they tended to live 

upstream and would be trying 

to come down to Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere to migrate. 

“It’s about the right time of 

year for them to come down,” 

Mr Pauling said. 

“They could be very old, 

perhaps at least 70 and they 

only go down to the lake once to 

migrate.” 

Mr Pauling, who camped on 

the Waikirikiri/Selwyn River as 

a child, said the flow of the river 

was not what it once was. 

Environment Canterbury 

team leader hydrological science 

Helen Shaw said the river was 

dry because of an extended 

period of drought which had resulted 

in very low groundwater 

levels. 

Drying reaches were likely 

to have a major impact on eel 

(called ‘tuna’ in Maori), particularly 

the longfin species which 

penetrated many kilometres 

inland. 

“If tuna cannot return to sea, 

they cannot breed,” she said. 

“Unseasonably low flows will 

have an impact on fish populations 

and increase the likelihood 

of getting caught in a drying 

reach.” 

Department of Conservation 

biodiversity ranger Anita 

Spencer said the situation was 

concerning because longfin eels 

only bred at the end of their 

life and there had been few opportunities 

for them to make it 

from the top of the river down 

to the ocean, via the lake, over 

the last two years due to dry 

conditions. 

She believed the latest migration 

attempt might have 

happened when a period of 

rainfall briefly filled some dried 

out parts of the river before the 

water quickly receded again. 

“That was the problem, it 

rained quite a lot but not enough 

to keep it flowing,” she said.

Our People 

Seaside environment keeps 

Scott Robertson is gearing up for his first 

season coaching his old team, the Crusaders. 

Bridget Rutherford spoke to him about his 

goals for the season, where he learned 

to breakdance and whether he is a true 

Cantabrian yet 

HOME: Scott Robertson 

says Sumner is a great 

place to live, and enjoys 

the surf and community. 

So what have you been doing 

in the lead up to pre-season 

training? 

I recovered after the week of 

the Mitre 10 Cup final physically, 

mentally and I detoxed 

as well (laughs), it was a good 

celebration. But it was a great 

way to finish a number of years 

of Canterbury rugby. Then in 

the second week I went over to 

the Roosters in the NRL to do a 

bit of professional development 

and leadership, and work around 

defence so I could up-skill myself 

coming into the season. New 

Zealand Rugby Union has a great 

relationship with clubs around 

Australasia, and Sydney had 

some good surf. It was a great 

way to transition from Mitre 10 

Cup to Super Rugby and start 

our planning phase. 

What do you think will be the 

toughest part of your new role 

at the Crusaders next season? 

Probably knowing myself, I’ll 

bring a lot of energy and creative 

new ideas. So I’ve got to make 

sure I get the balance right and 

bring what I need, and keep it to 

the critical few things that will 

make the difference. 

The Crusaders have a proud 

and successful history, does 

that add any pressure? 

Expectations are great, I love 

it. I had it with Canterbury that 

we’d go and be successful, and 

with that comes high standards 

and brings a bit of pressure you 

can use to create an edge. If 

there were no expectations I just 

wouldn’t feel the same. 

What are your goals for the 

season? 

My philosophy is to make 

people better on and off the 

field. I just want the team to 

perform and make sure when 

we’re under pressure in these 

critical moments we win those. 

It’s something we haven’t nailed, 

and we’ve had opportunities but 

haven’t taken them. That excites 

me. 

And you played for the Crusaders 

and Canterbury back in 

the day, did you ever see yourself 

coaching them? 

Yes. Back in 1996 and 97 I 

would walk in with a playbook 

and try and create new plays and 

see new ways of doing things. 

It’s the way it is now, it’s just a 

natural progression. It’s been a 

pathway; it’s taken a considerable 

amount of time to get here from 

retiring nine years ago. I’ve done 

a lot of hours. 

Is this a stepping stone to 

coach the All Blacks? 

The All Blacks is a totally different 

level and experience is 

critical. A lot of the coaches 

have been overseas and had a 

lot of different experiences with 

different cultures and competitions. 

With the All Blacks you 

play international teams and you 

need to understand that environment. 

Coaching overseas gives 

you a chance to experience that. 

I’m in no rush, I’d love to do that 

but I could see myself coaching 

afar first. 

Being a former Crusader, 

does it make you a bit more 

patriotic while coaching? 

Of course – I shed a lot of 

blood, cartilage and meniscus 

with the Crusaders. It was successful, 

I loved it and it made me 

a better person. Some of my best 

mates and memories were with 

that team, it sounds pretty cliche, 

but it’s a dream. 

And you come from up north 

don’t you? 

I’m from the Mount 

(Maunganui). It’s a bottle top 

question – who was the first 

person to be drafted for a Super 

Team. I made New Zealand 

Colts, and Vance Stewart picked 

me out and I was drafted and 

came to Canterbury. 

So are you a Cantabrian now? 

People ask me that all the time. I 

had a great up-bringing and my 

home is the Mount in regards to 

childhood friends and things. 

But I made my adult connections 

down here. My wife’s from down 

here and I had my children here. 

But I’m really fortunate to have 

red and black in my veins. 

And you spent a fair bit of 

time coaching NZ under-20s. Is 

part of that role to groom upand-coming 

players? 

The object is to develop players, 

on and off the field, because 

they’re young men and they’ve 

got to make some big decisions. 

The other was win. If you’re 

in the black jersey going to a 

tournament, you’re playing for 

silverware. I managed to do it 

one of the two times. For me, 

my biggest learning was our loss 

to Ireland – which some other 

teams have had too recently 

– but it’s a different style and 

the preparation is different for 

different teams, weather, and 

the mindset. I’m a better coach 

because I understand that. 

Over the years, who is a 

young player that you’ve 

watched and thought they had a 

big future? 

The most gifted player I’ve ever 

seen is Jordie Barrett. He’s going 

to the Hurricanes which is the 

second toughest thing for me 

outside the Ireland loss. He’s an 

extreme talent, and a great kid 

with great work ethic. 

Better than his brother 

Beauden? 

I don’t like to compare them. 

They’ve got similar skill-sets. 

For us it’s a wait and see. I think 

what sets Jordie apart is his 

mind-set – he’s the ultimate professional 

and has an incredible 

knack of performing under pressure. 

That sets the greats apart.

Viewpoint 

Govt assures support 

WHEN FACED with 

extraordinary circumstances, 

Parliament must ensure the law 

is adaptable and best able to 

respond. 

This was the case after the 

Canterbury earthquakes and 

it is the case again now, 

following the November 14 

earthquake which has affected 

the upper South Island and 

Wellington. 

This week I introduced three 

new Bills into the House, the 

first of which passed through 

all stages under urgency on 

Tuesday. 

The Civil Defence Emergency 

Management Amendment 

Act 2016 was passed just four 

days before the November 14 

earthquake but was not due 

to come into force until next 

year. 

The CDEMAA Amendment 

Bill has brought forward most 

of the Act’s provisions and will 

enable a smoother and more 

effective transition from the 

response phase to recovery after 

an emergency. 

It provides powers to those 

carrying out recovery work 

that would previously only 

be available under a state of 

emergency, such as the ability 

to limit access to public spaces 

and remove or secure dangerous 

structures. 

It also provides that a Civil 

Defence controller or a recovery 

manager may require a building 

owner to undertake earthquake 

assessments of their properties. 

While I have yet to hear of 

a building owner refusing to 

undertake assessments, there 

is no room for complacency. If 

required, authorities now have 

the ability to ensure buildings 

are assessed if there is reason to 

believe a building could pose a 

public risk. 

Recovering from the 

magnitude 7.8 earthquake will 

Gerry Brownlee 

take some time but getting 

affected communities back on 

their feet is our priority. 

This new legislation will 

empower local authorities 

to get on with the job while 

still respecting rightful 

process. 

A cross-party group of all 

Parliamentary representation 

worked together on the Bills to 

strike this balance so affected 

communities can be assured 

of support across all elected 

representatives. 

The lessons learnt from 

the Canterbury earthquakes 

have been included in the 

new legislation and the wider 

Government response. 

As a Government, we’re 

committed to enabling local 

authorities and communities to 

be able to turn their minds to 

rebuilding. 

Gerry Brownlee is 

Minister supporting Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

We said: 

The future of the Santa 

Parade is in jeopardy after 

its main funding was 

slashed by $25,000. 

You said: 

Colleen Cooper –Let’s get 

some private sponsorship you 

cant expect the council to pay for 

things like this for the ratepayers 

of Christchurch to enjoy by so 

many when there are more statutes 

to be bought, its disgraceful 

when we need more weed collectors 

(statutes) in the river for a 

start. 

Cheryl Robbins – Something 

that makes thousands of people 

happy loses funds, yet you pay for 


something that makes a few people 

happy. And you wonder why 

people are sick of your antics. 

Louis Robinson – Yes, this 

is tragic given the recent earthquakes 

it would have been nice 

for the families to have something 

like this too look forward 

too.

We said: 

When the Edgeware BP 

was allowed to expand, 

neighbours were told the 

effect on them would be 

“quite benign” and “less 

than minor.” 

Now, resident Kazu Kano’s 

view from his deck and 

study is of a 20m long, 

almost 5m high white wall, 

which reflects glare from 

the sun into his home. 

You said: 

Hamish Middleton – I’m 

sure BP could donate half a dozen 

trees to block the view. For a few 

hundred dollars it would be a wise 

investment. Wouldn’t like to see 

a boycott BP Edgeware campaign 

taking off 

Diana Greer – Get BP to paint 

a mural on that wall. I think it is 

hideous that they can get away 

with that. 

Malcolm McCulloch – Have 

used BP in the past but that’s the 

last time. They’re all bad but that 

is just insulting BP. 

Sue Cole – Should never be 

allowed. Just be height restriction 

so close to residential. Another 

example of money talks. Shame 

on BP, shame on the council. 

Boycott BP switch to Z. 

Marcus Isbad – It shows 

how flawed the resource consent 

process is. Favours big business. 

Allan Berke – BP again have 

shown their true colours. They 

don’t give a rat’s ass about the 

environment or who they tread 

on to get the result they want. 

Their refusal to paint the wall 

some other colour than white 

shows their true attitude. 

I have been involved in things 

like mountain-top radio repeaters, 

and the colours of those 

things had to blend in with the 

environment so they weren’t 

noticeable, to please the greenies. 

Then BP is allowed by some 

half-wit in the council to build 

a 20m by 5m wall that doesn’t 

blend in with anything. Great 

Neighbour Awards, my butt! 

Why don’t they paint the wall 

green? That’s one of their colours, 

and a lot easier on the eyes 

than stark white. I could add a 

whole lot of four-letter words 

that describe them here, but I 

haven’t.

Housing issues not addressed 

THE DOOMED state housing 

sell-off touched down in 

Christchurch at the end of last 

week. 

We’ve now learned that the 

Government plans to sell off 

2500 state houses around our 

city in Bryndwr, Shirley and 

Riccarton. 

As the local Wigram MP, I’ve 

spent some time in the Riccarton 

development. These new built 

units are a great example of 

intensive housing and offer a 

wonderful warm dry home for 

many families. 

This sale of state houses only 

serves as a distraction from the 

housing crisis and homelessness 

we’re seeing nationwide. It’s good 

old fashioned National Party privatisation 

and it’s doing nothing 

to address the real issue. 

Distractions aside, there are 

real questions about whether the 

Government even has the ability 

to sell the properties. We’ve seen 

instances in Horowhenua and 

Invercargill where the sale has 

fallen over altogether, and the 

Government backed down when 

complications were identified. 

Social agencies like the Salvation 

Army and the Methodist 

Mission that they were counting 

on have ruled out being part 

of the process entirely. Instead, 

National has courted overseas 

investors and companies to buy 

our state houses. I fail to see how 

protections that ensure these 

houses are kept in social housing 

will ever be put in place. 

Bill English has told us that 

the sell-off is about more diverse 

ownership. We’ve already got 

this in Christchurch with the 

Ōtautahi Community Housing 

Trust, a significant non-government 

provider. 

Most New Zealanders believe 

that state houses are there to 

provide a roof over the head of 

those that require that help the 

most, and it’s a core role of Government 

to provide that service. 

The profits from Housing New 

Zealand alone could have built 

over 1500 state houses for families 

in need. 

Labour doesn’t believe that 

Housing New Zealand should be 

a state-owned enterprise used as 

a cash cow by the Government. 

We’ve made the commitment to 

make it a public service with one 

job – to house people in need. 

The Government wants to take 

the state out of state housing. Labour 

will stand with those who 

need our help the most.

‘Razor’ happy 

Did you try and get him to 

stay down here? 

I spent a lot of time, but his 

family was first for him. And 

he’ll get to play outside his 

brother, his best mate. It was a really 

hard and emotional decision 

for him and it meant a lot to him 

to play for us. 

When you were a rookie, who 

was a senior player that you 

looked up to? 

I made a lot of really good 

mates and everyone brought a lot 

of different things. That group 

of players that we had is unlike 

any group that’s been together 

for a long time. If you look at the 

coaches, we had Robbie Deans, 

Steve Hansen, Wayne Smith 

and they also had success post- 

Crusaders. I heard a great quote 

– truly inspiring coaches, or the 

great coaches, coach a player to 

become great coaches, and their 

players become coaches. It’s a 

generational thing. And from 

that group we had myself, Leon 

MacDonald, Tabai Matson, Todd 

Blackadder, Dave Hewett, Mark 

Hammett, Daryl Gibson and 

Aaron Mauger. I think the whole 

environment helped shape us. It 

didn’t just teach us how to play, 

but it taught us the game, and 

that’s what we’re doing now. 

It was that era where the 

Crusaders were on the Meadow 

Fresh milk cartons – did you 

make it onto one of those? 

No, I’ve broken my nose too 

many times (laughs). 

You went and played in 

France and Japan following 

your time with the AB’s, what 

did you learn from your stints 

there? 

The first year in France I struggled. 

I missed the structure of the 

Crusaders and I kept asking why 

do the French do it this way? But 

once I figured that out I ended 

up really loving and enjoying it. 

I learned French and the French 

way. I learned a lot of what I do 

now as a coach. It was the same 

in Japan, I learned a lot of their 

traditions. It made me appreciate 

what we’ve got here in New 

Zealand, and New Zealand rugby 

now. There’s a lot of benefits of

going away and coming back. 

Maybe I’ll coach over there one 

day. 

How’s your Japanese? 

My wife’s pretty handy at it, but 

I can do the basics. 

And the most important question, 

where did you learn to 

breakdance? 

My mum’s got a bit of rhythm. 

I never expected to be dancing, it 

came from my playing days when 

the hoo hay razor ray song was 

pulled out. I was put on the spot 

and got called out and had to 

front up. If we win I’m more than 

happy to dance. 

Where does the nickname 

Razor come from? 

It’s a bit of self-promotion, 

probably a bit like the dancing. 

We used to give ourselves a 

couple of nicknames. We’d say 

I used to cut people in half and 

my shoulders were razor blades.

I created a bit of an alias as Razor 

Ray and it’s taken its own little 

storylines. So I named myself 

(laughs). 

And you settled in Sumner 

when you came down, why did 

you choose to live there by the 

beach? 

I’m a surfer, I love the sea and 

I enjoy the drive to Sumner. It’s 

a safe environment and it makes 

me happy. I’m involved with the 

great community and it reminds 

me of the Mount. The kids enjoy 

it too. 

Speaking of family, how did 

you meet your wife? 

I met my wife, Jane, at Lincoln. 

I’ve said this before, but my 

wife got a double degree – hers 

and mine. I met her when I first 

arrived in town and she’s been 

through all the highs and lows 

with me. I had 15 operations as 

a player and she nursed me back

to the field. We’ve been through 

a lot. 

What does she do? 

She works at the local school 

and does extra-curricular sport 

for the kids and runs sporting 

competitions and that sort 

of thing. She’s the sports coordinator. 

Is she a bit of a rugby widow? 

I was away over 100 days this 

year with the NZ under-20s. But 

we understand it and she makes 

it work. We’ve got family support 

at Sumner. I’m lucky to have my 

role but we make sure we get 

away as a family. 

Sumner was hit quite hard in 

the earthquakes, did you have 

any issues with insurance or 

damage to your home? 

Yeah, we had a red zone section 

up on the hill. We had five years 

in court with the Government, 

but we got a great result. We can 

look back and the right thing was 

done and we’ve moved on with 

that. We’ve learned patience and 

a lot about the law. 

What was the most rewarding 

moment of your rugby career 

so far? 

My first test for the All Blacks. 

We played Australia in Christchurch 

and my family came down. 

I fulfilled a huge goal for myself. 

Did you win that test? 

Don’t ask! (In 1998 Australia beat 

the All Blacks 27-23). 

We had better move on then, 

what was your most embarrassing 

moment? 

When I played for Canterbury 

I was a reserve and came on, and 

I unzipped my tracksuit and ran 

on the field and I wasn’t wearing 

my playing jersey, I still had my 

warm-up T-shirt on. I was in the 

huddle before I realised – everyone 

was pointing at me as I ran on 

and I kept running. I had to run 

back and swap it at the next break. 

Some coaches lose their fitness 

after they finish playing, that 

doesn’t seem the case for you? 

I do a bit of stand-up paddle 

boarding. It’s great for me and 

for my strength in my core and 

legs. I get to the gym and I swim 

a lot. I have to do it most days 

otherwise I get a bit edgy. 

What do you like to do in 

your spare time? 

I spent a lot of time with the 

kids, and going to their sport and 

enjoying what they’re doing as a 

family so I connect with them. In 

the afternoon or the evenings we 

are either playing tennis, passing 

a ball, or playing touch. I’ve got 

three boys, aged 12, 10 and eight. 

They play rugby, touch, tennis 

and they surf. They’ve got a really 

good balance. 

You’re well-qualified to give 

them some tips. 

I just try to be a dad not a 

coach. I do coach one of their 

teams, and I give them tips and 

help out, but away from everyone’s 

eyes so there’s no pressure 

on them.

FOR SOME, the Christmas 

season is their most 

favourite time of year, filled 

with plenty of fun, frivolity 

and happy times. However, 

for others it can be a 

challenging and exhausting 

experience. 

For me, it’s a good mix 

of both. While I absolutely 

love the festive season and 

am grateful to be part of 

such an inclusive community, 

it can also be a tricky, 

juggling act for our young 

family. 

After a challenging and 

busy school year, it’s easy 

for end-of-term-itis to set 

in and for the kids to be 

tired, grumpy and hard to 

work with. 

And yet there’s still so 

much ahead of us before 

Father Christmas finally 

struts his stuff. 

Our usually empty 

calendar is now peppered 

with school events, dance 

recitals, Christmas concerts, 

carols, drinks, work 

functions, and dates with 

friends before the summer 

holidays. 

’Tis the season 

403 LITRE BOTTOM 

MOUNT FRIDGE 

FREEZER 

Basically, lots of busy days 

and late nights ahead. 

But with the twins having 

only just turned three, 

they still need a regular 

bedtime, otherwise, they 

simply won’t cope. And 

my five and seven-year-old 

Big Girls also need plenty 

of downtime and sleep, 

otherwise, they will get 

scratchy and impatient. So 

it’s important that I try and 

find a good balance. 

Yet it’s hard. Although I 

am trying to maintain our 

7pm bedtime curfew, it’s 

near impossible to settle my 

girls when the sun is still 

shining and inviting them 

out to play. 

They wolf down their 

dinner so to get back 

outside to run around and 

enjoy their games. I love 

this after-dinner play too, 

and often get out for a quick 

game of bat-down too, so 

it’s no wonder they protest 

when I call it quits just because 

the clock says so. 

But over the years, I have 

come to know my girls’ 

limits. I know how much 

they can, or rather cannot, 

cope with. And there’s 

nothing worse than having 

the wheels fall off when we 

are gearing up to enjoy the 

most wonderful time of 

the year. That’s no good for 

anyone. Me included. 

So in the lead up to the 

25th, I am going to try 

and front-foot any sign of 

exhaustion by scheduling 

rest into their day, and 

wherever I can, push for an 

early dinner and bedtime. 

Although I know you can’t 

bank sleep, I’m definitely 

going to try! 

However, all said we are 

very much looking forward 

to the pending month of 

Christmas celebrations and 

excited about catching up 

with Santa, cutting down 

the Christmas tree, singing 

carols and having festive 

fun. And with four girls 

between the ages of three 

and seven, I have a feeling 

that this Christmas will be 

simply magical. 

After all, as Thomas 

Oliphant once famously 

wrote: “’Tis the season to be 

jolly . . .”, so let the festivities 

begin!

IT’S A 

Summer 

Celebration 

NATURE’S BOUNTY: Fruit trees should be in full growth mode. 

Gardens should now 

be looking their best 

YOUR GARDEN should 

be looking lovely, with 

flowers and foliage adding 

colour, scent and depth to 

your garden, not to mention 

the start of some summer 

crops such as strawberries, 

beans and lettuce. 

For a healthy garden, 

and in particular vegetable, 

always try to have good 

garden practices. This 

includes garden hygiene 

such as cleaning up any 

dead leaves or foliage and 

regular weeding, which 

helps discourage pests and 

diseases. 

Fruit trees are in full 

growth mode now and it’s 

worthwhile applying a side 

dressing of fruit tree fertiliser, 

especially with young 

trees. Water deeply when 

required to help establish 

strong root systems. Mulch 

around trees to reduce water 

loss and suppress weeds. 

As gardens reduce in 

size, containers on decks 

and balconies assume 

greater importance and 

can be used for growing 

herbs, mini-vegetables or 

providing a splash of colour 

when planted with summer 

annuals. 

Being in a confined 

space, potted plants do 

deplete the soil more 

quickly of nutrients, so feed 

them approximately every 

2-3 weeks with fertiliser, 

and keep them well 

watered. 

Summer flowering annuals 

should be in vigorous 

growth now and look stunning 

in the garden. They 

include alyssum, ageratum, 

aster, candytuft, cornflower, 

cosmos, marigold, nemesia, 

phlox, portulacas, petunias, 

salvias, strawflower and 

zinnias. Keep deadheading 

(removal of finished flowers) 

to promote continuous 

flowering. 

For ornamental trees and 

shrubs, fertilise them regularly 

and mulch to reduce 

water loss over hot dry 

summer months and to aid 

weed growth. Give them a 

summer prune; especially 

ornamental trees to help a 

strong framework for later 

growth. 

Don’t forget to mulch 

your garden if you haven’t 

already. Here in the South 

Island try and have this 

done by the end of the 

month now that the soil 

has warmed up. Mulching 

is the process of covering 

the soil with organic matter 

to reduce water loss, add 

nutrients and help with 

weed control. 

Even if you are the most 

hands-off gardener this is 

the most important task to 

do, especially during the 

summer months. It’s vital 

in maintaining a healthy 

garden, helps protect plants 

from drying out and regulates 

soil temperatures. 

Apply a layer of mulch 

around plants, trees, and 

especially pots. As organic 

mulch breaks down over 

time it improves soil 

quality and structure 

by encouraging microorganisms 

and worm 

activity. 

•More gardening, p34 

Insects in the Garden 

Knowing your enemy is the key to 

beating any insect pests, but equally 

important for edible plants is crop 

rotation. This is important for the 

uptake of nutrients in the soil, but more 

importantly rotating is also important as 

pests can build up an immunity to some 

types of insecticides. 

Garden insects can be divided into two 

groups: chewing insects and sap-sucking 

insects. Chewing insects eat plant tissue, 

which includes leaves, stems, roots, buds, 

flowers and fruit. They are controlled with 

a contact insecticide. Sap-sucking insects 

suck the sap from stems, young shoots, 

flower buds and leaves. To control these 

pests either a contact insecticide or a 

systemic insecticide can be used. If you grow 

edible crops you should use only contact 

insecticides. To help you identify which spray 

to use, you will need to identify the insect. 

Once you know what insect your plant has, 

we can point you to the right options. 

What’s the difference between systemic 

and contact insecticides? 

Systemic insecticides are absorbed by 

the plant’s leaves and travels through the 

sap of the plant; therefore, when an insect 

eats or sucks on the plant, the toxin is

in the plant and kills the insect. Contact 

insecticides work by contact only; therefore, 

it is essential to get full coverage including 

spraying the underside of the leaves. 

Generally a systemic spray is reapplied every 

14–21 days and contact sprays should be 

reapplied every three to 10 days depending 

on the insect issue. 

Save the Bees! Where possible always use 

sprays that are safe for bees. Systemic sprays 

are not safe for bees because they stay 

in the plant for so long; therefore, if your 

plants are in flower avoid spraying with a 

systemic insecticide. Apply insecticides in 

late evening, night or early morning while 

bees are not foraging. Bees generally forage 

between an hour after sunrise right until 

an hour before sunset, and the sprays need 

to be dry before bees arrive, so allow some 

drying time (generally one hour). 

A great way to identify what you insect have 

is to bring in a plant sample in to our helpful 

staff, or to have a look in store or online at 

the Oderings Gardening Guide ‘Insect Pests’.

Manage daisies to bloom all year round 

• By Rachel Vogan 

I CAN’T quite recall the exact moment 

my affair with daisies began. 

It could have been at primary school 

where I began making daisy-chain 

bracelets, or it could have been when I 

used to help Nana pick flowers for posies. 

Maybe it was when I started working as 

an apprentice at Bayliss Nurseries in the 

mid 1980s. It doesn’t really matter, what I 

do know is that it will be a life sentence, 

and that’s not a bad thing. 

I am rather nostalgic about these 

generous and giving blooms. These 

flowers just make me happy from the 

inside out. In my garden, I have daisies in 

bloom all year round, even over winter. A 

few bright blue flowers of the Kingfisher 

daisy, Felicia amelloides, sprinkle 

themselves over the domes of green, 

along with the bright sunny-yellow petals 

of Euryops pectinatus. 

Now summer is here it is all about the 

Marguerite daisy, Argyranthemum sp. 

and African daisies, Osteospermum sp. 

As soon as the temperatures warm up, 

the flowers buds are triggered into action 

and the plants will not be without blooms 

until the end of May, and in some cases, 

the end of June. 

Yes, I have a daisy addiction, and I 

have no intention of trying to curb it. 

Each season when new ones arrive in the 

shops, I swoop on a few and extend my 

collection. 

As my garden is quite full, the new

additions end up in pots and tubs, which 

work well as I use them to punctuate and 

decorate the patio and outdoor areas, and 

then when the weather turns I can move 

them to somewhere closer to the house, 

which is more sheltered in winter. This in 

turn, gives them a head start in the spring 

Use your outdoor living areas 

all year round 

when they bounce back into life quicker 

than the ones in the garden, which get no 

special care. 

Not all are hardy, so if you 

are in an area where frost carpets your 

garden in winter, plant them in pots or 

closer to the house.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK 

WITH MUSTARD 

MAYONNAISE AND 

BROCCOLI SALAD 

Ingredients 

800g Porterhouse steaks, 4 x 

200g pieces 

1 to drizzle Vegetable oil 

1 to taste Salt and freshly ground 

black pepper 

3 tsp Dijon mustard 

4 Tbsp Mayonnaise 

Broccoli, almond and 

tomato salad 

1 Broccoli 

2 Tomatoes

cook them for about 7 minutes 

per side, turning once and 

seasoning with salt and pepper 

once you have done so. 

Remove from the heat, wrap 

loosely in foil and leave them to 

rest for 5 minutes. 

Mix the mustard and

gently toss through the broccoli 

and season with salt and pepper. 

Serve warm.

Travel 

Find the fur seals in Palliser Bay 

• By Mike Yardley 

THERE IS a savage, raw-edged 

beauty to Cape Palliser, where the 

land and sea can come to serious 

blows on the southernmost tip of 

the North Island. 

But the summer months offer 

a more benign big blue sky 

experience, which I sampled 

with Stuart Edwards from Green 

Jersey Explorer Tours. 

Heading out from Martinborough’s 

mannered streets of 

tidy houses, the bucolic drive to 

the coast shuffled from pastoral 

plains to undulating countryside. 

I soon realised why the car 

rally crowd and two-wheeling 

weekend warriors swoon over 

these country roads, interspersed 

with photogenic little villages, 

like Pirinoa. 

Our first stop was at the Putangirua 

Pinnacles Scenic Reserve, 

for the 90min return walk to this 

bewitching rock formation, that 

made a starring appearance in 

Lord of the Rings. Steadily climbing 

through the steeply beechforested 

flanks of the hillside, the 

endurance test was made all the 

more cathartic by the elevated 

perspective across Palliser Bay. 

Arriving at the viewing 

platform, soak up the cinematic 

panorama of these hoodoo 

formations. Largely composed 

of greywacke gravels exposed 

by rain and floodwaters, harder 

layers of rock cap these fluted 

stone pillars, or hoodoos, which 

protects the underlying soil from 

the rain and prevents the soft 

gravels from eroding. 

In spite of being slammed by 

some of the fiercest weather in 

the nation, the gritty little fishing 

village of Ngawi is not deterred 

from launching their boats 

into the wild sea in search of a 

catch. Conspicuously lacking a 

sheltered harbour, fishing boats 

are hauled in and out of the sea 

by an astonishing battalion of 

bulldozers and tractors, which 

are as widely varied as the boats 

they pull. 

From the stony shoreline, I 

marvelled at this rustic eye-ball 

feast of workhorses, standing 

at attention like dutiful ocean 

sentinels. It would have to rate 

as one of the most novel and unusual 

coastal curiosities in New 

Zealand. 

It’s like a rendering of industrial-chic 

shoreline art. You may 

well have seen Ngawi on the TV 

recently, without even realising. 

The much-loved Lotto ad, featuring 

the father on a fishing boat 

and his son on a pirate ship, was 

shot at Ngawi. 

Further along the magnificent 

cliff-hugging coastline, the candy-striped 

Cape Palliser Lighthouse 

is a riveting landmark, 

beckoning you up the formidable 

flight of 258 wooden steps. The 

lung-busting ascent felt like hell, 

but trust me, it’s the stairway 

to heaven, because the trippy 

coastal panorama to reward you 

at the top is utterly rhapsodic, 

serrated by the Kaikoura Ranges 

across the water. 

Below the lighthouse, lap 

up the North Island’s largest 

fur seal breeding colony, who 

contentedly spread themselves 

across the Cape Palliser’s nooks 

and crannies. During my 

November visit, our blubbery 

friends were out in force, with 

mothers teaching their pups 

acrobatic lessons in the rock 

pool, while the big bull seals loll 

about on the rocks, snorting and 

hollering like pickled members 

of an old boys’ club after a few 

too many gins. 

PICTURESQUE: Palliser Bay 

from the lighthouse, the seal 

colony is the North Island’s 

largest breeding area. Left: 

A rustic eye-ball feast of 

workhorses. Right: Lipsmacking 

fish and chips at the 

Lake Ferry Hotel. 

History lessons seem to lurk 

around every corner. James 

Cook named Cape Palliser in 

honour of one of his naval mates 

and the name extends across 

the sweeping bay. Early European 

sheep farmers drove their 

flocks around the coast from the 

Wainuiomata Valley, with the 

bay serving as their gateway to 

the sprawling pastoral quilt of 

the Wairarapa Plains. 

Well-endowed with kai 

moana, Palliser Bay is one of 

the oldest inhabited regions for 

Maori, with archaeological sites 

indicating iwi first settled here 

in the 14th century. Close to 

Ngawai, Stuart pointed out the 

ancient stone walls early Maori 

built in the ridge lines to protect 

their kumara gardens. 

With hunger levels rising, it 

was over a lip-smacking lunch 

of the freshest fish and chips at 

the historic Lake Ferry Hotel, 

that I gleaned more insights into 

the region’s indigenous history. 

A fantastic way to immerse 

yourself in the rich heritage of 

Palliser Bay.

Fashion 

All hands pitching in to make 

On Saturday evening, Ara Institute of Canterbury’s 

fashion students showcased their end of year 

collections in the PITCH Fashion Show. Annabelle 

Dick went along for the day and took a look behind 

the scenes 

PITCH is one of the most 

highly-anticipated fashion 

events on Christchurch’s social 

calendar. 

It showcases emerging 

designers looking to create a 

name for themselves in the 

industry, and gives top designers 

a chance to scout them. 

While it’s a tertiary fashion 

show, PITCH is nothing to be 

scoffed at – it was where one of 

New Zealand’s most coveted 

designers, Georgia Alice, started 

her fashion career. 

So I went along to see how 

PITCH comes together. 

It’s 8am and in walked 97 

models and 51 fashion students 

into Ara’s Whareora building. 

In 12 hours, these models 

will be dressed to the nines 

and students will be anxiously 

waiting backstage to see these 

models showcase their end of 

year collections. 

Clean-faced models flood the 

corridors looking for their 

pre-selected designers. Soon 

they’re ushered into make-up to 

get their faces painted and hair 

done. 

The two make up artists, 

Janna and Cyrilla, have a belt of 

brushes strapped to their waists 

and MAC cosmetics scattered 

along their work bench. 

I’m in make-up heaven. In 

a matter of hours, these two 

magicians manage to transform 

nearly 100 ordinary-looking 

individuals into modern-day 

goddesses. If you ever feel like 

lowering your self-esteem, hang 

out backstage at a fashion show. 

While the models were busy 

looking pretty, the third year 

fashion students were running 

around the auditorium getting 

their collections together for 

judging. Three judges from 

Sunday Magazine, Ballantynes 

and Kathmandu were selected 

to award the Industry Design 

Award to a graduating student. 

Just over a dozen frantic 

TOUCH UP: Luke gets his face touched up Cyrilla before his 

photo shoot. 

designers were armed with 

snips and lint rollers making 

last-minute touch-ups to their 

collection. For nearly three 

hours, judges critiqued and 

analysed their garments. During 

those hours, the students weren’t 

allowed access to their collections 

so sat waiting nervously. 

Having the opportunity to 

sit in and see these collections 

up close gave me a whole new 

appreciation for fashion students. 

Their pieces were so wellconstructed 

and thought out that 

you could expect to see them at 

New Zealand Fashion Week. 

Luckily, these pieces were for 

sale – I could picture my wallet 

getting skinnier by the minute. 

As the day panned out, there 

was still a lot more to be done. 

Models ran through runway 

routines like a broken record to 

RUN THROUGH: Models 

practice their strut on the 

runway before the show. 

perfect timing and choreography; 

students made last-minute 

adjustments to garments; and 

an endless supply of models 

needed their make-up touched 

up. Throughout the day, 

designers and models were also 

pulled aside for a shoot with 

photographer Dave Richards. 

A bit of panic broke loose when 

the realisation hit that one of 

the models had a bleach-blonde 

‘T’ on the back of his head – the 

result of a bet he lost after the 

United States presidency election. 

This was soon rectified with a bit 

of Kiwi ingenuity and a sharpie.

Another model made a late 

appearance after spending the 

evening in the emergency department. 

He was concussed after 

a game of Friday night footy 

and split his head. “I’m fine,” he 

ensured the designers. 

The day was long and consisted 

of many coffee runs, nervous 

cigarettes and a lot of back and 

forth. I envied the designers’ 

skill, motivation and talent, but I 

did not want to be in their shoes. 

Come 8pm, it was show time. 

I sat front-row watching models 

walk the runway in these student-made 

garments. The third 

year showcase was the ultimate 

finale. Designers created 12 looks 

as part of a cohesive collection. 

From 80s Miami to punk-rock 

inspired wear and modernised 

depression-era work wear – 

nearly all bases were covered. 

PITCH never ceases to impress 

me and this year was no exception. 

While their collections were 

innovative and out of the box, 

their was still a commercial element 

to them. 

I’m dying get my hands on 

quite a few of the pieces. The

Post-show, I saw a lot of 

exhausted yet excited designers. 

The students have been working 

seven days a week and long hours

After the show wrapped up, there 

was nothing left to do but make a

Fill the grid so that every row, 

every column and every 3x3 

box contains the digits 1 to 9. 

The number game that 

improves your arithmetic 

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.

Black Sticks call up for Villa girl 

• By Gordon Findlater 

REPRESENTING YOUR school 

at the national secondary school 

athletics champs and making a 

Black Sticks debut in the space 

of 10 days may sound like a busy 

task. 

But that’s the reality for Jessie 

Anderson, 18, who is the 

youngest player named in Mark 

Hager’s squad to play Malaysia in 

a five-game series this month. 

The year 13 Villa Maria College 

student got the news while at 

a training camp with the Junior 

Black Sticks, who are currently 

competing at the Junior World 

Cup in Chile. The mid-fielder 

missed out on the trip to South 

America after being named as a 

reserve in the junior team. However, 

the news of a Black Sticks 

call up more than made up for 

the disappointment. 

“We got an email and I didn’t 

actually realise I’d made it until 

a couple of the girls came up to 

me to say congratulations, and 

I asked what for? Then mum 

rang me, I was really excited but 

pretty shocked,” said Anderson. 

“I haven’t had a great season 

CALL UP: Jessie Anderson has been called into the Black Sticks 

to play Malaysia this month. PHOTO: PLANET HOCKEY 

with injury and sickness, so it’s 

nice having this to finish the 

season on a high.” 

First, though, she will be running 

for a national title. She will 

compete in the 4x400m relay 

at this weekend’s New Zealand 

Secondary Schools Track, Field 

and Road Race Championships 

in Auckland. 

The team will go away with 

high hopes after winning the 

Canterbury schools championship 

in record time earlier this 

year. 

“Running and hockey complement 

each other so well. I don’t 

think I would be where I am 

with hockey without athletics. 

It’s always helped because I’d 

finish the running season and go 

into the hockey season fit,” said 

Anderson. 

There will be no rest for 

Anderson who will arrive in 

Auckland with her athletics’ 

team on Friday. She will train 

with some of her new Black 

Sticks teammates that evening 

before competing on the track 

over the weekend. Next week she 

will begin a Black Sticks training 

camp in Stratford ahead of the 

Malaysia series. 

Anderson will be joined by 

fellow Cantabrians Catherine 

Tinning, Phoebe Steele, Rachel 

McCann and Jenny Storey in the 

Black Sticks squad. 

The series will see the Black 

Sticks play five tests against the 

Malaysians in Stratford from 

December 12-18. 

Superstocks hit 

Woodford Glen 

on Saturday 

THE SKY at Woodford Glen 

Speedway will be lit up on 

Saturday night when it hosts the 

Vertex Super Saloon Cup and 

superstock teams’ racing. 

The Vertex Super Saloon Cup 

will be the feature event of the 

night. More than 20 drivers from 

across the South Island will compete 

in their purpose-built 700 

plus horsepower super saloons as 

they race to stand on the winners 

podium. 

If superstock action is more 

your thing, then make sure you 

are trackside to witness Canterbury’s 

Glen Eagles superstock 

team take on the might of the 

Nelson Tigers and Gisborne Giants. 

Superstock team racing is nothing 

short of exhilarating as each 

team races around in a battle of 

the strongest that often sees just 

one car finishing the race. 

The night will be finished off in 

style with a fireworks extravaganza. 

With Christmas just around 

the corner, Santa is also believed 

to be making an appearance. 

Vintage motor-cycles race in Southern Classic 

VETERAN motor-cycle racer 

Mike Pero will compete at this 

weekend’s Southern Classic at 

Levels Raceway near Timaru – 

an event sponsored by his real 

estate company. 

Organised by the Classic Action 

Motorcycle Sports club, the 

event will be one of the largest 

classic races of its kind in the 

South Island. 

The definition of classic 

includes motor-cycles from the 

1920s through to the mid-90s, 

with a variety of these machines 

racing at the weekend. 

Classic and post-classic racing 

is one of the fastest-growing 

sectors in world motor-cycling, 

as retired racers dust off their old 

machines and renew battles with 

former rivals. 

Beyond Australia, there will 

also be Irish, American and British 

riders attending the event. 

Co-ordinator Sue van den Heuvel 

said Mike Pero was an obvious 

sponsor for the event. 

“Mike competed in the 70s and 

80s, and it took only an email to 

get his company’s backing,” said 

van den Heuvel. 

Pero, who is now the patron 

of Motorcycling New Zealand, 

started his working career as a 

motor-cycle mechanic and had 

six New Zealand championships 

and countless grand prix wins 

under his belt by the time he

years ago. He’ll be on the 

same machine this weekend. 

was 23-years-old. He will ride a 

Yamaha TZ250W from the late 

1980s in the event. 

Classes for the event include 

vintage, pre-war, classic, classic 

sidecar and post-classics from 

1972-1996, plus parade races of 

past masters.

Motorbuys 

TM 

• By Ross Kiddie 

AT THE media launch 

for the CX-9, Mazda New 

Zealand was upbeat about 

its product range and its 

position in New Zealand’s 

difficult, but buoyant, new 

car market. 

Deservedly so, the 

Mazda-branded product 

which is landing here now 

is comprehensive, desirable 

and downright pleasant to 

drive in. 

However, at the media 

conference I noticed one 

small glitch, the Mazda6 

diesel is performing below 

the company’s expectation 

in terms of sales. That 

really surprised me, but I 

put it down to a small total 

market backtrack on diesel 

powered cars and Mazda, 

too, are feeling it. 

However, Mazda can 

look at the six diesel with 

a bit more optimism, the 

entire six range has just 

had an upgrade and it is 

a case of making a good 

car just that much better. 

I was fortunate enough 

to get behind the wheel 

of my favourite Mazda6, 

the diesel Limited station 

wagon. 

As you would 

expect from a mid-life 

enhancement, the new 

Mazda6 is quieter than 

before, it is been refreshed 

through the interior and is 

fitted with a raft of new kit 

– most of it for safety. Some 

of it includes advances to 

the brake support function, 

sensing pedestrians and 

vehicles at increased speed; 

there’s also the inclusion 

of traffic sign recognition 

which will warn the 

driver of approaching 

stop and speed signs, and 

G-vectoring control which 

operates in conjunction 

with steering wheel input 

to produce predictable 

vehicle handling behaviour. 

While these advances are 

mostly unseen, the reality is 

that the Mazda6 is a more 

involving and safer car, 

that along with a dynamic 

driving experience. 

Under the bonnet sits 

a 2.2-litre turbocharged 

diesel engine. It, too, 

has had some tweaks to 

make it quieter and more 

responsive. Mazda rate it 

with 129kW and 420Nm, 

both outputs delivered at 

usable points in the rev 

band at 2000rpm and 

4500rpm respectively. 

Consequently, it is a 

spirited performer and 

delivers solid power 

through the mid-range 

MAZDA6 WAGON: Upgraded with a wealth of new 

features for comfort, convenience and safety. 

which is why I’ve always 

been smitten with diesel 

power, the surge is quite 

delightful. 

The acceleration figures 

are quite entertaining as 

well, the diesel variant will 

lunge to 100km/h from a 

standstill in 8.7sec, and will 

cut out a highway overtake 

in 4.7sec. On the subject of 

figures, when I’m picking 

up a test car I’m always 

smitten when it shows in 

excess of 800km before 

needing a refuel. 

• Price – Mazda6 

wagon Ltd, $58,245 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4800mm; 

width, 1840mm; 

height, 1480mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

2191cc, 

129kW, 420Nm, sixspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.7sec 

• Fuel usage – 

5.4l/100km 

The modern diesel is so 

fuel effective, Mazda claims 

a 5.4l/100km (54mpg) 

combined cycle rating 

for the twin-camshaft, 

2191cc unit. That correlates 

well with the 6.3l/100km 

(45mpg) figure constantly 

showing during evaluation, 

it will also sip fuel at the 

rate of 5l/100km (56mpg) 

at a steady 100km/h, the 

engine turning over at just 

1750rpm. 

Drive is channelled to 

the front wheels through 

a six-speed automatic 

transmission. Interaction 

between the two is fluid, 

the gears change quickly 

and are smooth, if the 

driver wants to take control 

over that process, steering 

wheel-mounted paddles 

allow him/her to do that. 

I had a photographic 

assignment to undertake 

at Whitecliffs in the 

Canterbury high country 

so I took the test car 

on a route which then 

backtracked through 

Windwhistle and Hororata. 

The efforts Mazda has 

made to dull sound in the 

six have certainly worked, 

it is whisper quiet on the 

long straights, and even 

with large and low profile 

Bridgestone Turanza tyres 

(225/45 x 19in) there is 

little road noise. 

When it comes time to 

tackle the quick corners in 

that part of the country the 

Mazda6 is well balanced 

and it has directional 

accuracy well presented for 

vehicle type. 

I particularly like the 

way it feels through the 

steering, it is sharp and 

loaded with feedback as to 

how the tyres are behaving 

in a corner. I guess a lot 

of that comes back to the 

G-vectoring control system 

which learns and works 

with the driving style to 

produce a dynamic yet 

natural motion. 

The advancement 

Mazda has made with the 

new six doesn’t come at 

a cost, the entire range is 

priced much the same as 

the previous generation 

model which, to my way of 

thinking, represents good 

value. 

The diesel wagon sits 

tall in the range at $58,245, 

but with a starting point of 

$43,795, I can’t help 

but think the Mazda6 

is one of the bargain 

sedan/wagon purchases 

in the market. It is also 

functional with its load 

space of 506-litres to 

1648-litres. 

The final process of my 

daughter moving back 

home for the summer, 

from her student flat 

in Riccarton, involved 

dismantling her queen 

size bed and transporting 

it back to the Kiddie 

dwelling. 

I used the Mazda6 

for that purpose, and 

although the bed head was 

problematic, the task was 

completed, reinforcing my 

enthusiasm for the modern 

station wagon.

NEW LISTINGS 

Home 

& Property 

You are in the market for a new property, 

scrolling the Internet, examining 

properties for sale and zeroing in on 

those with potential. They might be 

in locations that offer cheaper land, 

larger houses, or convenience to work 

or school. You may have visited show 

homes and open homes becoming 

confused, overwhelmed or swept 

away with emotional factors like having 

everything new, or extra features such as 

three car garaging. 

To be happy with your choice, list the 

features that you need, considering: 

; Family space – Is there room for 

the children to play indoors and 

for television and entertainment 

units? Should this be open plan or 

separated? 

; Kitchen – What needs to be in your 

kitchen? How serious are you about 

a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or 

something that offers a practical 

solution to the way you use your 

kitchen? 

; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum 

sizes? Smaller bedrooms may 

translate to slightly lower building 

costs while extra space can be useful. 

When looking at existing homes, 

consider whether the size of each 

bedroom is sufficient. 

; Garaging – A standard double garage 

once two cars are parked there offers 

little space for the toys. What toys 

do you have and could they live with 

the lawnmower in a garden shed, a 

cheaper option to three car garaging? 

If the budget allows and a larger 

garage with workshop is important, 

make it a selection priority. 

; Size of land – Lifestyle properties 

offer space for children, pets, hobbies,

Looking for a Property? 

What really counts 

an expansive garden and perhaps a 

home-run business but they require 

work so are not for everyone and 

a compact section might be more 

sensible if a tight budget or busy 

lifestyle. 

; Bathrooms – Second and third 

bathrooms are great in homes with 

teenagers and a wet shower room is 

ideal for young children. A bath might 

be fashionable though is often not 

used and its absence could mean a 

more spacious bathroom. 

; Laundry – Would a laundry in the 

garage do the job? 

; Storage – How much storage do you 

need? Weigh up what can truly be 

stored in the garage once vehicles are 

in, a preference in winter. Garages vary 

in size so check the size to ensure your 

vehicles will fit. Look also at where 

else the house offers storage capacity 

such as in hall cupboards, a large hot 

water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes 

(check their width and depth), walk-in 

robe, attic storage trusses, as well as 

the potential for hooks and shelving 

in the garage for bikes, tools, garden 

equipment and even kayaks. 

; Off-street parking – How many 

vehicles can be parked on the 

driveway? Will this space be sufficient? 

; Garden - Is there sufficient space 

for your children to play or for 

entertaining? 

A checklist will allow you to determine 

what will suit your needs, the point of 

the exercise, saving you time looking at 

properties or potential house designs 

while assisting you to decide whether 

to buy a new or existing home with 

both options having advantages and 

disadvantages.
