Migrants<br />
drive<br />
down<br />
pay rates<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
PAINTER BEN Creagh used to<br />
earn $43 an hour.<br />
Now he can’t get a full-time job<br />
unless he accepts the minimum<br />
wage of $15.25 – and he isn’t<br />
prepared to do it.<br />
Mr Creagh’s situation is similar<br />
to many others in Christchurch,<br />
trade unionists say, where overseas<br />
workers coming into the city<br />
for the rebuild are prepared to<br />
work for much less.<br />
Latest statistics show that<br />
1564 foreign workers came to<br />
Christchurch last year, more than<br />
a quarter of them unskilled under<br />
the Government rebuild worker<br />
scheme.<br />
Employers have told Mr<br />
Creagh, 36, there are so many<br />
foreign workers willing to work<br />
cheaply, they won’t pay more.<br />
“It’s embarrassing. But basically,<br />
people aren’t willing to pay<br />
what tradies are worth,” he said.<br />
Mr Creagh (left) said he lost his<br />
job about six months ago when<br />
work at the company which employed<br />
him dried up.<br />
Since then he had been getting<br />
by on short contract jobs, but<br />
with three children, he said that<br />
was a struggle.<br />
In the past three years, 6292<br />
foreign workers have been<br />
brought in to Christchurch to<br />
help with the rebuild.<br />
But the number of Cantabrians<br />
on Jobseeker benefits has grown<br />
over that time, with about 1000<br />
extra people signed up each year<br />
for the past three years.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were 10,357 Cantabrians<br />
on Jobseeker benefits in December,<br />
with 4565 of those classed as<br />
“work-ready.”<br />
E tu construction union organiser<br />
Ron Angel agreed many<br />
locals were struggling to compete<br />
against foreign workers for jobs.<br />
“Employers don’t have to pay<br />
Kiwisaver or retirement contributions,<br />
so that’s a three per cent<br />
saving right there. <strong>The</strong>y can pay<br />
foreign workers less, because<br />
Kiwis want more and won’t<br />
work for minimum wage. And<br />
they don’t need to pay overtime,<br />
because overseas workers want<br />
as much work as they can get, so<br />
they will accept more hours without<br />
overtime pay,” he said.<br />

FROM<br />
THE<br />
EDITOR’S<br />
DESK<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
News.................................... 3-15<br />
YOU HAVE to sympathise<br />
with Ben Creagh (see page 1).<br />
He is caught up in a<br />
dilemma many tradies and<br />
others are currently facing –<br />
work for a lot less than they are<br />
used to.<br />
Work is drying up in the<br />
city, particularly for painters,<br />
but the Government still has<br />
a relaxed policy for migrant<br />
workers coming for the<br />
rebuild.<br />
Many of them are unskilled.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will work for the<br />
minimum wage of $15.25 with<br />
no extra benefits on top, and<br />
they will work on call.<br />
Ben is refusing to accept<br />
those pay rates and, as a result,<br />
he can’t get a full-time job.<br />
Is that fair?<br />
No luck so far I’m afraid in<br />
the hunt for Raewyn Wahnig’s<br />
stillborn son’s ashes (see page<br />
4), stolen when her house was<br />
broken into.<br />
If you know where they are,<br />
drop them at a police station or<br />
phone me (021 359 426), and<br />
we’ll get them home.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />
This week in history saw Riccarton Racecourse established on<br />
<strong>March</strong> 6, 1856. On the same day in 1914 the first point-to-point<br />
flight from Christchurch to Timaru took place. <strong>The</strong> pilot was J.W.<br />
H. Scotland. In the same year, Scotland had the dubious privilege<br />
of becoming the first pilot to crash in New Zealand. On <strong>March</strong><br />
7, 1925, the Cholmondeley Home for children (a gift by Hugh<br />
Heber Cholmondeley) opened at Governors Bay. On <strong>March</strong> 8,<br />
1958, Christchurch athlete Marise Chamberlain (right) broke<br />
the world record for running 440 yards. On <strong>March</strong> 9, 1880, the<br />
first steam trams began operation from Cathedral Square to the<br />
railway station. On the same day in 1963 jazz trumpeter Louis<br />
Armstrong performed in Christchurch. On <strong>March</strong> 12-15, 1927,<br />
the Duke of York (later King George VI) visited the city.<br />
TIME TO BUY TASTY GUIDE COOKIES<br />
IT’S THAT time of the year again.<br />
GirlGuiding New Zealand’s <strong>2017</strong> biscuit<br />
selling season is under way. <strong>The</strong> biscuits<br />
have been sold for 60 years – with the<br />
recipe still pretty much the same since it<br />
was developed and sold in large square<br />
tins in 1957. Stalls will pop up all over<br />
the country, and door-to-door sales from<br />
pippins, brownies, guides and rangers<br />
will take place over the next four weeks.<br />
Although the newer chocolate and mini<br />
biscuits are popular, the old favourites are<br />
still original.<br />

Sick bed to City2Surf<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
TURNAROUND: Leanne Crawford has put poor health behind her and is looking<br />
forward to the City2Surf.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
JUST A year ago, Leanne Crawford could barely walk, had lost 30kg,<br />
was constantly sick, and had to put both her work and her wedding<br />
on hold – and she had no idea what was going wrong.<br />
This month, she will take on the 14km <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> City2Surf with<br />
Mike Pero Real Estate event, which she will walk, and she won’t<br />
be doing it alone.<br />
Her partner, friends and many of the nurses who helped her<br />
get on her feet again plan to do the walk beside her – 41 people<br />
in total – raising money to help others with the same condition<br />
get treatment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 30-year-old began feeling sick in 2014, but initially<br />
doctors did not know what was wrong.<br />
It took almost two years for her to be diagnosed and find<br />
a treatment, because she was facing a complex mix of parasites<br />
in her intestines, crohn’s disease and endometriosis.<br />
For much of that time she couldn’t work, and she had to<br />
postpone her wedding three times.<br />
“It was like my life was turned upside down. It was<br />
really, really frightening just not knowing what was<br />
going on,” she said.<br />
After a Christchurch gastroenterology specialist,<br />
Steven Ding, diagnosed her problems, she has made<br />
a gradual recovery.<br />
But she said it was only possible because of<br />
the help she received, and the diagnosis tools<br />
provided by the Canterbury Bowel and Liver<br />
Trust.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> things that finally got me well cost a lot<br />
of money, so I wanted to give something back,”<br />
she said.<br />
She has already raised almost $1500 through<br />
people sponsoring her run.<br />
She said she had never done anything like the<br />
City2Surf before, and after being sick for so long<br />
being able to cross the finish line would feel like<br />
a giant victory.<br />
“I’m sure there will be tears,” she said.<br />
“I finally feel like I’ve got my life back. I can’t<br />
go for drinks or dinner like normal, but I am<br />
still able to work, which is amazing.”<br />
She works for Bupa as an activity organiser,<br />
and said they held her job for her, in spite of the<br />
fact she was off work for three months.<br />
She has also rescheduled her wedding, and<br />
plans to marry her partner of eight years, Craig<br />
Corboy, this December.<br />
“I’m determined I’m going to get down the<br />
aisle this time,” she said.<br />

In Brief<br />
$1000 REWARD<br />
Police are speaking to a witness<br />
who said he saw a vehicle in a<br />
Burwood paddock where a horse<br />
was attacked and needed to be<br />
destroyed. Gus, a seven-year-old<br />
standardbred, had to be shot<br />
by a police officer after he was<br />
found badly injured at about<br />
5am on February 18. Owner<br />
Karina Romeyn said she has<br />
passed on the details of a man<br />
who came forward and said he<br />
saw a vehicle chasing the horse<br />
on the morning Gus was found<br />
hurt. She has offered $1000 on<br />
top of $278 raised on a Givealittle<br />
page to be given to anyone who<br />
has information that leads to<br />
a conviction. Information can<br />
be sent to karinaromeyn@<br />
outlook.com, phone 363 7400<br />
or report anonymously through<br />
Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.<br />
JELLYFISH WARNING<br />
Blue bottle jellyfish have been<br />
washing up on the city’s beaches<br />
over the last week. <strong>The</strong> jellyfish<br />
make a regular appearance during<br />
summer, and the city council’s<br />
coastal park rangers are warning<br />
people to stay away from them to<br />
avoid being stung. Head ranger<br />
Kelly Hansen said they had<br />
received reports of them from<br />
Sumner to North Beach. Blue<br />
bottles have venomous tentacles<br />
which sting, and leave red welts<br />
on the skin.<br />
BID TO REPLANT RESERVE<br />
THe Summit Road Society is<br />
calling for donations and other<br />
community support to help with<br />
restoring Ohinetahi Reserve,<br />
which lost about 80ha in the<br />

Fear that son’s ashes<br />
may be gone for good<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
SHATTERED Raewyn<br />
Wahnig is resigned to the<br />
fact she may never get her<br />
stillborn son’s ashes back.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ashes were taken<br />
during a burglary of her<br />
Linwood house two weeks<br />
ago.<br />
Police appear to have a<br />
few clues to finding the culprit.<br />
But desperate public<br />
appeals for help have not<br />
brought any leads.<br />
Mrs Wahnig just wants<br />
someone to tell her where<br />
they are.<br />
“Even if we just got a note<br />
that says he’s in the bin,<br />
give up hope. <strong>The</strong>y can’t<br />
just say nothing, someone<br />
must know something,” she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir biggest fear was<br />
that Thomas had been<br />
dumped somewhere, but<br />
now they only want to find<br />
out the truth.<br />
Mrs Wahnig said she<br />
knows he’s been thrown<br />
out and has been kept up at<br />
night telling herself that’s<br />
not the case.<br />
MISSING: Raewyn Wahnig is worried she may<br />
never again see the stolen box with her stillborn son<br />
Thomas’ ashes in it.<br />
She went to <strong>The</strong> Pawn<br />
Shop on Ferry Rd last week<br />
in case the person who<br />
burgled their house had<br />
tried to sell the $20,000 in<br />
jewellery which was also<br />
taken.<br />
Detective Sergeant Damon<br />
Wells said the priority<br />
is returning the ashes, but<br />
the police want to find the<br />
person responsible.<br />
“If the offender gets a<br />
conscience and wants to<br />
anonymously drop them<br />
at a police station, we’d<br />
be more than happy with<br />
that,” he said.<br />

Brownlee staffer involved in Treasury report<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
GERRY BROWNLEE’S private<br />
secretary wrote to Treasury<br />
about what to include in a report<br />
on the anchor projects, it has<br />
been revealed.<br />
But Mr Brownlee, the Minister<br />
supporting Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration, later slammed the<br />
same report, saying it was written<br />
by people who “fluff about<br />
the place pontificating.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Treasury Major Projects<br />
Performance Report, which was<br />
released in September, flagged<br />
several concerns about Christchurch<br />
anchor projects, including<br />
the Metro Sports Facility and<br />
Convention Centre.<br />
But emails obtained by <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong> show Mr Brownlee’s private<br />
secretary Mike Shatford wrote<br />
to Treasury staff several times<br />
before the report was released,<br />
asking them to change project<br />
rankings, remove information<br />
and delay the release of the<br />
report.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes he requested<br />
appear to have been made. But<br />
when <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> asked Mr Brownlee<br />
for his views on the report after<br />
it was released in September,<br />
he said he had little respect for it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first change Mr Shatford,<br />
the former Canterbury Earthquake<br />
Recovery Authority communications<br />
general manager,<br />
requested was an improvement<br />
to the ranking of the Metro<br />
Sports Facility.<br />
At that point Treasury rated it<br />
amber, which means the project<br />
appeared feasible but significant<br />
issues existed.<br />
Mr Shatford said in an email<br />
to Treasury senior adviser Liz<br />
Innes on August 15 that Otakaro<br />
Ltd had provided an update on<br />
the project, which showed the<br />
“project cost uncertainty had<br />
been sorted” and another issue,<br />
which was blanked out in the<br />
copy of the email provided to<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, had been resolved.<br />
“Having received this report,<br />
the Minister (and Otakaro)<br />
felt that this project was more<br />
[amber/green] than amber,” he<br />
wrote.<br />
Ms Innes wrote back later that<br />
day to say the ranking had been<br />
changed to amber/green, which<br />
means successful delivery of the<br />
project is probable.<br />
Three days later, on August 18,<br />
he responded to an email about<br />
a Canterbury Public Sector<br />
CHANGES: Gerry<br />
Brownlee’s<br />
private secretary<br />
Mike Shatford<br />
(left) asked<br />
Treasury to<br />
change a report<br />
warning about<br />
potential issues<br />
with the Metro<br />
Sports Facility.<br />
Rebuild “dashboard” prepared<br />
by Treasury and Ministry of<br />
Business, Innovation and Employment,<br />
which made up part of<br />
the major projects performance<br />
report.<br />
“Minister Brownlee is not yet<br />
happy with the indicators being<br />
presented for public release,” he<br />
said in an email to representatives<br />
of each agency.<br />
Later that day, MBIE government<br />
procurement general manager<br />
John Ivil wrote back to Mr<br />
Shatford about the construction<br />
expenditure graph, which was<br />
part of that “dashboard.”<br />
“We could look to remove the<br />
baseline detail and just show<br />
actual and forecast, which is all<br />
in the right direction,” he said.<br />
That information was cut from<br />
the report before it was released.<br />
Later that month, on August<br />
30, Mr Shatford wrote again to<br />
Ms Innes, asking for the public<br />
release of the document to be<br />
deferred.<br />
His email was titled: “Minister<br />
didn’t agree to public reporting<br />
data being released in its current<br />
format – more work to be done.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> report was not released to<br />
the public until September 21,<br />
three weeks later.<br />
When asked if the involvement<br />
of Mr Brownlee’s office reduced<br />
the credibility of the report, a<br />
spokesman for Treasury said<br />
that was not the case.<br />
He said Treasury made the final<br />
decisions on what to include<br />
in the reports, but Ministers and<br />
their office staff often had more<br />
up-to-date information than<br />
Treasury did, which had to be<br />
considered.<br />
He said the emails were<br />
written after “frequent conversations”<br />
with Mr Brownlee’s office.<br />
A spokeswoman said Mr<br />
Brownlee stood by his comments<br />
about the Treasury reports.<br />

Migrant workers drive down pay rates<br />
.kiwi<br />
Thursday <strong>March</strong> 9 <strong>2017</strong><br />
•From page 1<br />
He said many jobs offered also<br />
did not have guaranteed hours,<br />
which left people who had families<br />
struggling.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Government scheme has<br />
made it easier for foreigners to<br />
move to Canterbury to help with<br />
the rebuild, by “streamlining”<br />
the application process, allowing<br />
workers to stay longer and letting<br />
them change employers while in<br />
Canterbury without having to<br />
reapply for a visa.<br />
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber<br />
of Commerce chief executive<br />
Peter Townsend said he didn’t<br />
think foreign workers were driving<br />
down pay rates.<br />
“A lot of work is going on, and<br />
there is still a high demand for<br />
workers in our city,” he said.<br />
He believed the rebuild winddown<br />
was still at least a year<br />
away, and at that point he said<br />
a lot of effort would be made<br />
to transition people into other<br />
industries, like tourism.<br />
Immigration Minister Michael<br />
Woodhouse said yesterday he<br />
was committed to ensuring<br />
“Kiwis are at the front of the<br />
queue for jobs.”<br />
He said employers who looked<br />
for workers overseas had to first<br />
advertise the job and engage with<br />
Work and Income to see if they<br />
could hire locals first.<br />
“We are constantly monitoring<br />
our immigration settings to<br />
ensure they are fit for purpose<br />
and I’m confident we have those<br />
settings right,” he said.<br />

Bashing victim regains<br />
voice, speaks to police<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
THE VICTIM of a horror attack<br />
following a Christchurch music<br />
festival was interviewed by police<br />
yesterday after regaining her<br />
voice.<br />
Amelia Rayner, 29, was<br />
punched in the throat when<br />
she and her boyfriend were leaving<br />
Electric Avenue at Hagley<br />
Park just after 11pm on February<br />
25.<br />
She had an operation to have<br />
a metal plate inserted into her<br />
throat to help her breathe.<br />
Her family was worried about<br />
how it could affect her voice.<br />
But her mother, Barbara<br />
Rayner, told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> yesterday<br />
that Amelia was talking and<br />
doing “really well.”<br />
She said hearing her daughter<br />
speak for the first time<br />
following the incident was “just<br />
wonderful.”<br />
“We’ve been very, very lucky.<br />
She’s just got a bit of healing to<br />
do.”<br />
It is alleged Ms Rayner and<br />
her boyfriend were leaving the<br />
festival when they got into an<br />
altercation with four men.<br />
RECOVERING: Amelia Rayner has regained her voice after she<br />
and her boyfriend were assaulted while leaving the Electric<br />
Avenue music festival. <br />
<strong>The</strong> men allegedly assaulted<br />
her boyfriend, and when she<br />
stepped in to help, she was<br />
punched in the throat crushing<br />
her trachea.<br />
It has been reported that police<br />
interviewed a man believed to<br />
have caused her injury, but no<br />
charges have been laid.<br />
Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Mark Worner said police<br />
interviewed Ms Rayner on<br />
Wednesday morning.<br />
But he would not give<br />
any details about how it<br />
went.<br />
“Inquiries are ongoing.”<br />
Barbara Rayner said her<br />
daughter did not remember<br />
much of what happened.<br />
Sex attack after<br />
woman leaves<br />
Lincoln concert<br />
A 48-YEAR-OLD woman was<br />
sexually assaulted as she walked<br />
home from the Selwyn Sounds<br />
concert in Lincoln on Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman had left the concert<br />
before it finished and police are<br />
hoping members of the public<br />
saw her.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also hope someone might<br />
have found a fine gold chain<br />
bracelet with a heart-shaped gold<br />
locket which belonged to the<br />
woman.<br />
<strong>The</strong> locket has a small diamond<br />
on one side and a keyhole on the<br />
other.<br />
Said Detective Sergeant Phil<br />
Sparks: “She left the concert on<br />
her own at approximately 6.30pm<br />
and walked along Meijer Dr onto<br />
North Belt. It is in this vicinity<br />
that she was grabbed from behind<br />
and pushed a short distance off<br />
the road to where she was attacked.”<br />
Detective Sergeant Sparks said<br />
the attack occurred between<br />
6.30pm and 8pm. <strong>The</strong> concert<br />
ended just after 8.30pm.<br />
“It was still daylight and<br />
members of the public may have<br />
seen something that can assist in<br />
identifying the attacker,” he said.<br />
Police would like to hear<br />
from anyone who may have<br />
seen the victim leaving the concert.<br />
She is of thin build with a dark<br />
bob haircut, and was wearing a<br />
black straw hat, light grey dress,<br />
brown leather boots, denim jacket<br />
and carrying two small backpacks<br />
when she left the concert.<br />
Police want to hear from<br />
anyone who saw an interaction<br />
between a man and a woman<br />
fitting the victim’s description<br />
within the vicinity of the Lincoln<br />
Event Centre, North Belt and the<br />
surrounding area. <strong>The</strong>y also want<br />
to hear from anyone who finds<br />
a bracelet in the vicinity of the<br />
attack.<br />

Peace Of Mind Over Earthquake Claims Is Within Your Grasp -<br />
Let Us Offer You A Helping Hand<br />
Earthquake Services<br />
As a community we have just marked the sixth anniversary of the February 22<br />
earthquake with the opening of the Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial. Our<br />
hearts ached to recall the loss that came about that day. But as we look back let’s<br />
not forget that for some in Canterbury the consequences of the earthquakes are still<br />
very real, and completely unresolved.<br />
We are determined to help settle those claims still unresolved from the 2010 and<br />
2011 earthquakes and allow our clients to move on with their lives. Here’s how we<br />
can help you.<br />
EQC Still Assessing You?<br />
If you are still dealing with EQC to get your claim recognised or to get them to accept<br />
you should be put over cap, we can help get this done. We have had hundreds of<br />
our clients put over cap, and paid out by EQC, over the last 5 years. Many of these<br />
clients had hit a brick wall before they came to us, and did not have the money or<br />
skills to push EQC beyond their cap limit. Our process ensures EQC takes a realistic<br />
view of the actual damage to your home, and the costs to repair it, which very often<br />
means the claim goes over cap.<br />
Getting Nowhere with Your Insurer?<br />
Many homeowners have come to an impasse with their Insurer, and simply don’t<br />
know what to do next. We can get your insurer back on to a path to settle your<br />
claim. Once we get involved, the insurers know they have to justify their position, and<br />
come up with a realistic repair strategy and costing of that strategy. We will advocate<br />
for the repair strategy that we believe is going to fully repair your property to your<br />
policy standard, and ensure you get your full entitlement under your insurance policy.<br />
Concerned Your Damage Was Under Scoped?<br />
Other homeowners know the damage to their foundations was never properly<br />
scoped or was completely ignored by EQC or their insurer, but are unable to get<br />
any action on this. We know what it takes to get EQC or the insurer to accept these<br />
claims, and have the resources to deliver the information and the pressure needed<br />
before they will pay out on these claims.<br />
REPAIR<br />
Worrying about the quality of earthquake repairs by EQC or insurance companies can<br />
be a real headache for some homeowners. If that’s you, we can inspect your property for<br />
free * and advise you on the state of your repairs. We’re here to help everyday Cantabrians<br />
move on with their lives. We are Earthquake Services, claim advocates specialising in<br />
helping people like you sort out your claims and achieve the results you deserve.<br />
Contact us today. We’re here to help.<br />
Worried About Your Repairs?<br />
For many homeowners, doubts also linger about the quality of the earthquake repairs<br />
done by Fletcher EQR or their insurer’s contractors. It’s a known fact that many<br />
earthquake repairs have been sub-standard or inadequate. Foundation repairs such<br />
as epoxying foundation cracks and jacking and packing piles to relevel floors, are not<br />
what the insurers agreed to when they sold their insurance policies with terms like<br />
“AS NEW” as the repair standard. We will inspect your repairs for free*, and give you<br />
an honest opinion on whether you have major damage that has not been repaired.<br />
At best, you will have peace of mind that your repairs are sound. If they are not up to<br />
standard, we will engage with the relevant parties for you to get you your entitlement.<br />
Limitation Act<br />
At some time in the near future, EQC and the insurers will apply the Limitation Act,<br />
which will mean a complete stop to any more payments for earthquake damage from<br />
2010 and 2011. This means thousands of homeowners may be left with a damaged<br />
house that they cannot get repaired without paying for the repairs themselves. To<br />
avoid being one of those people, you need to take action now. Don’t wait until you<br />
know when the deadline is, as you will then be competing with thousands of other<br />
homeowners to get your claim established.<br />
How We Can Help<br />
We carry out a free* inspection of your property for our clients and either give you<br />
peace of mind that all of your earthquake damage has been identified, scoped,<br />
and repaired to the required standard, or give you certainty that it has not. We will<br />
even lift your carpets for free* to check your floor slab is not cracked. If we identify<br />
major damage that has not been repaired, we take on the claim for you and get<br />
you your policy entitlement. You pay nothing until your claim is settled. We cover all<br />
the expert’s reports that are needed, and any legal fees if we need to resort to legal<br />
action to get you your full claim entitlement.<br />
We can help take the pressure off and work with you, and for you, to reach a positive<br />
outcome, or give you peace of mind that your home is fully repaired to the required<br />
standard.<br />
Let us give you a hand<br />

the earthquakes, but we know many have been left behind. For<br />

Red zone<br />
planning day<br />
open to all<br />
A COMMUNITY day will be held<br />
to get input on how to shape the<br />
future of the residential red zone.<br />
Regenerate Christchurch chief<br />
executive Ivan Iafeta said this year<br />
will see a plan prepared for the<br />
regeneration of former red zone<br />
land from Avonside to Bexley and<br />
Richmond to New Brighton.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />
Community Day will be<br />
held on <strong>March</strong> 25 from 10am-3pm<br />
at Haeata Community Campus,<br />
Wainoni. Everyone is welcome.<br />
“We’re inviting everyone to journey<br />
through an interactive experience<br />
to learn about the land and<br />
river, and then share their thoughts<br />
on how this area could shape an<br />
exciting future for Christchurch,”<br />
Mr Iafeta said.<br />
He said Regenerate Christchurch<br />
wanted to find out what the city<br />
needed and how this parcel of land<br />
could help meet those needs. It also<br />
wanted input from children.<br />
Free guided bus tours of the<br />
red zone are on offer, as well as<br />
fun, family activities including a<br />
sausage sizzle, face-painting and a<br />
bouncy castle.<br />

Role of women in spotlight<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
ROCHELLE TOURELL has<br />
worked in the construction<br />
industry for a decade and<br />
reckons she can do her job just<br />
as well, if not better, than any<br />
man.<br />
<strong>The</strong> L.J. Kidd painter is one of<br />
the 14 per cent of women who<br />
work in the industry across the<br />
country.<br />
Yesterday, it was the annual<br />
International Women’s Day,<br />
which calls for equality.<br />
But Ms Tourell said she feels<br />
equal in her line of work, in<br />
spite of being the only female at<br />
most building sites.<br />
“I’ve found every job I’ve<br />
been on I’ve been accepted. I’m<br />
just one of the team and I don’t<br />
expect any more than that.”<br />
She said women could be<br />
more meticulous and could do<br />
the job as well as their male<br />
counterparts.<br />
She first got into the trade<br />
because her partner was a construction<br />
worker. Having always<br />
enjoyed painting, she decided to<br />
give it a go.<br />
It was intimidating initially<br />
with it being a male-dominated<br />
industry. But she doesn’t feel<br />
that way now.<br />
METICULOUS: Painter Rochelle Tourell says she feels equal<br />
to her male counterparts, in spite of working in an industry<br />
dominated by men.<br />

“I think there’s more and<br />
more acceptance of women in<br />
the trade.”<br />
Yesterday, 120 women went<br />
along to a Women in Construction<br />
forum, organised by<br />
Safe/Rebuild and Canterbury<br />
Rebuild Safety Charter, at<br />
By the numbers:<br />
•Women make up 51.3 per<br />
cent of New Zealand’s<br />
population, according to<br />
the latest census<br />
•Nationally, 14 per cent<br />
of those working in the<br />
construction industry are<br />
women<br />
•International Women’s<br />
Day was first held in the<br />
United Nations in 1975<br />
Christchurch Bridge Club.<br />
It was so popular, another<br />
would be held later this month,<br />
which Ms Tourell would attend.<br />
Roofer, TJ Kereru-Daly – one<br />
of three key guest speakers<br />
– said working in a maledominated<br />
industry meant<br />
she had to earn her colleagues’<br />
support, but sometimes it was<br />
harder to do.<br />
Sometimes she was not taken<br />
seriously because of her gender,<br />
she said.<br />
Safe/Rebuild spokeswoman<br />
Jo Duffy said International<br />
Women’s Day was perfect timing<br />
for the forum.<br />
“It seems a very obvious day<br />
to run this forum. We want to<br />
celebrate women in the business<br />
and the timing is perfect.”<br />

Pastor issues challenge to congregation<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FIJIAN Seventh-Day Adventist<br />
Pastor Jesel Royokada is<br />
challenging his congregation to<br />
step up and enter this month’s<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> City2Surf with Mike<br />
Pero Real Estate.<br />
Pastor Royokada was inspired<br />
by the Tongan SDA Church’s efforts<br />
at the Summer <strong>Star</strong>ter late<br />
last year, and is being supported<br />
by Healthy Families Christchurch.<br />
“I thought ‘we can do that’.<br />
I’d love to see our church<br />
leading the way, taking exercise<br />
seriously too,” said Pastor<br />
Royokada.<br />
“So when I was talking to<br />
Healthy Families Christchurch<br />
they said ‘if that’s what you want<br />
to do, why don’t you just give it a<br />
try and see what happens?”<br />
Not to be outdone, the Tongan<br />
church matched their entry<br />
numbers, and together they’re<br />
throwing the challenge out even<br />
wider, hoping to inspire other<br />
community and faith-based<br />
organisations.<br />
“It would be great to see<br />
other churches and community<br />
groups taking part,” said Pastor<br />
Royokada.<br />
“It was a great idea, it’s a great<br />
step to combine together and<br />
then maybe we might inspire<br />
the Samoans or other ethnicities,”<br />
said Teuila Saafi, Tongan<br />
SDA youth leader.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two Pacific churches have<br />
already started preparations for<br />
the <strong>March</strong> 19 event by exercising<br />
together on Sunday mornings at<br />
Hagley Park – combining prayer<br />
and walking.<br />
“It was good, because we<br />
talked about it before, I said to<br />
Jesel next time bring the Fijians<br />
and now they’ve joined us. It’s<br />
great,” said Ms Saafi.<br />
“I found the Sunday morning<br />
walk fulfilling, by building up<br />
my faith, while also building my<br />
body,” said Pastor Royokada.<br />
Both agreed that physical<br />
health and spiritual health<br />
are linked, but all too often<br />
other things can get in the<br />
way. Combining the two was<br />
INSPIRED:<br />
Teuila Saafi and<br />
Jesel Royokada<br />
are challenging<br />
community and<br />
church groups<br />
to get together<br />
and take on<br />
this month’s<br />
City2Surf. <br />
an important step to leading<br />
healthy lives.<br />
As part of challenging other<br />
churches to enter the City2Surf,<br />
the duo have opened the door<br />
for anyone to join them in their<br />
prayer walks.<br />
“We meet at 6.30am at the car<br />
park in the south end of Hagley<br />
Park and we’d love to have anyone<br />
join us, it would be great to<br />
see some new faces.”<br />
CHALLENGE: Participants at<br />
the start and finish of last year’s<br />
City2Surf.

Move to restrict water take<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
MEASURES TO restrict,<br />
suspend or revoke water<br />
take consents in a catchment<br />
which feeds the ailing Selwyn/<br />
Waikirikiri River will be<br />
investigated.<br />
<strong>The</strong> river has had record low<br />
flows this summer and has dried<br />
up along large stretches, including<br />
at once popular swimming<br />
spots such as Coes Ford.<br />
Environment Canterbury will<br />
look into two possible options<br />
to help address the situation<br />
and report back to the Selwyn<br />
Waihora Zone Committee.<br />
One option is that ECan<br />
could issue a temporary water<br />
shortage direction allowing it to<br />
restrict or suspend taking water<br />
from the catchment feeding<br />
the river. Under the RMA, a<br />
water shortage direction can be<br />
applied when there is “a serious<br />
temporary shortage of water”<br />
which could not have been predicted.<br />
It would expire after 14<br />
days but could be renewed.<br />
ECan chief operating officer<br />
Don Rule said this could potentially<br />
affect up to 63 consents in<br />
an area south of Rolleston, of<br />
which about 46 were thought<br />
to have a strong connection to<br />
the river. It was not known how<br />
many of these consents were<br />
This Weekend!<br />
<strong>March</strong> 11-12<br />
already on restrictions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other option which<br />
will be looked at is a potential<br />
ratepayer-funded review of “at<br />
the very least” several hundred<br />
water take consents in the vicinity<br />
of the river but Mr Rule said<br />
this would be a longer process.<br />
Such a review would enable<br />
ECan to look at whether any<br />
consents should be altered or<br />
revoked.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> focus would be on surface<br />
and shallow ground water<br />
takes initially,” Mr Rule said.<br />
“Based on my experience,<br />
consent reviews would certainly<br />
not affect this irrigation season,<br />

Court.<br />
Zone committee chairman Allen<br />
Lim supported ECan investigating<br />
the measures but said it needed to<br />
be remembered that climate was<br />
the main factor affecting the current<br />
state of the river.<br />
“If you have to attribute the<br />
amount of effect on the Selwyn<br />
River level, all the science that<br />
we know of says that 15 - 20 per<br />
cent is attributed to irrigation,<br />
the rest of it is just climate,” Mr<br />

Emergency alerts on<br />
your mobile phone<br />
THIS week I<br />
announced a new<br />
emergency alerting<br />
system that broadcasts<br />
to mobile phones is<br />
on track to be up and<br />
running by the end of<br />
the year.<br />
Launching a cell broadcast<br />
alerting system is a priority for<br />
the National Government and will<br />
help New Zealanders respond to<br />
the natural disasters we experience<br />
all too often.<br />
Cell broadcast alerting is a<br />
new way of sending information<br />
to mobile phones in a defined<br />
geographical area without people<br />
needing to download an app or<br />
subscribe to a service.<br />
<strong>The</strong> alerts will look similar to<br />
text messages and are received automatically<br />
– for free – by all cell<br />
broadcast-enabled mobile phones<br />
in the area.<br />
Discussions with New Zealand’s<br />
major telecommunications companies<br />
are progressing well and we<br />
expect to have contracts signed in<br />
the coming weeks.<br />
As no technology is 100 per cent<br />
fail-safe or able to reach everyone<br />
in all circumstances, multiple<br />
channels will continue to be used<br />
to send alerts when emergencies<br />
Gerry Brownlee<br />
happen. <strong>The</strong>se channels include<br />
radio, television, websites, various<br />
social media, smartphone apps, sirens<br />
and others. In Christchurch,<br />
we have warning sirens along the<br />
coast from Brooklands to Taylors<br />
Mistake and the other channels<br />
are used as local authorities determine<br />
appropriate.<br />
It is important to remember<br />
cell broadcast alerts don’t replace<br />
the need for people to pay attention<br />
to natural warnings. This<br />
is particularly important in the<br />
case of earthquakes and potential<br />
tsunamis.<br />
Cell broadcasting will get<br />
information about an emergency<br />
to people faster and more reliably<br />
than ever before. Additionally,<br />
cell broadcast technology works<br />
separately from text messages, so<br />
even when the networks get busy<br />
after a disaster, alerts can still be<br />
sent quickly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> system is already well established<br />
elsewhere in the world,<br />
in countries such as the United<br />
States, Japan, Israel and Chile.<br />
We said:<br />
Cantabrians’ access to<br />
non-emergency surgery<br />
is now the worst in the<br />
country. <strong>The</strong> Canterbury<br />
and South Canterbury<br />
district health boards were<br />
ranked worst for elective<br />
surgeries – which includes<br />
everything but emergency<br />
surgery<br />
You said:<br />
Simone Kuhlmann –<br />
Maybe that has something to do<br />
with the fact that they overwork<br />
and underpay their new young<br />
doctors? I mean I wouldn’t want<br />
to work 17-hour days either . .<br />
. let alone operate on someone!<br />
Besides they’re on strike at the<br />
moment anyway aren’t they? My<br />
mother needs surgery on her<br />
ankle again after it was broken<br />
an operated on 1.5 years ago<br />
and it’s been impossible to get<br />
in.<br />
Graeme Palmer – Just as<br />
well I have made the decision<br />
to stay in Dunedin with the<br />
great specialist team that I have<br />
around me rather than move<br />
home to Christchurch.<br />
Amy Kennedy – Only took<br />
six months to get surgery on my<br />
badly broken ankle.<br />
Albert Read – This needs to<br />
be fixed now.<br />
We said:<br />
All is not well between<br />
Lyttelton residents<br />
and their local police.<br />
Residents want local<br />
police on patrol after<br />
hours and on weekends,<br />
and are taking matters<br />
into their own hands with<br />
satisfaction surveys. Even<br />
a former detective has laid<br />
a complaint about police<br />
performance<br />
You said:<br />
Marianne Allison – We<br />
have the same in New Brighton,<br />
I feel so sad for so many people<br />
here getting their cars broken<br />
into and having to pay a $500<br />
excess on insurance.<br />
Sally King – And it’s a<br />
similar story in many small<br />
New Zealand towns. Too many<br />
cut backs and lack of funding<br />
and misguided use of current<br />
precious funding. Small towns<br />
matter too.<br />
Amy Coursey – Nah. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
know, the little town police<br />
officers are quite stretched. We<br />
live in a small town where the<br />
police have a huge area to cover<br />
and can’t get to everything.<br />
Jake Ranginui – It’s election<br />
year, we need to change the<br />
Government. Police are far too<br />
underfunded!<br />
Deborah Kavanagh –<br />
. . . and if the crims didn’t<br />
know before . . . they do now.<br />

Young scapegoats<br />
We said:<br />
<strong>The</strong> city’s most<br />
dangerous intersections<br />
have been revealed after<br />
city councillor Aaron<br />
Keown hit out at his<br />
council colleagues for not<br />
putting aside $800,000<br />
to fix the contentious<br />
intersection of Harewood,<br />
Breens and Gardiners Rds<br />
in Bishopdale<br />
Lynley Jenkins – A lot of it<br />
would be solved if lights stayed<br />
green for longer, and there were<br />
more right-turning arrows.<br />
Also hefty penalties for red light<br />
runners. People have forgotten<br />
orange means prepare to stop.<br />
Simon Rutherford – This is<br />
just a list of intersections! Where<br />
is the journalism that tells us why<br />
newly upgraded intersections are<br />
considered dangerous like QE II<br />
and Marshland Rd.<br />
We said:<br />
Selwyn Sounds had<br />
Lincoln rocking at the<br />
weekend, with more<br />
than 7500 people at<br />

included Mi-Sex, the<br />
Jordan Luck Band and<br />
Dragon<br />
You said:<br />
Maree Reveley – Awesome<br />
bands and great venue. Same<br />
complaints as above though.<br />
Took far too long to get in and<br />

absolutely ridiculous. Men’s<br />

onto the ground.<br />
Paula Fisher – Great day<br />
and music, but yes more toilets<br />
required and entry queue a bit<br />
long but expected when allowed<br />
to bring food an drink in.<br />
Alan Hane – Great day,<br />
big toilet queues, though, need<br />
more toilets and men’s urinals.<br />
Jackie Ryan – Was<br />
absolutely awesome day<br />
fantastic music and delicious<br />
food, bring on next year.<br />
Tania Adams – hope they<br />
have more loos next year, the<br />
queues where ridiculously long.<br />
BILL English’s<br />
comments last week<br />
that local workers and<br />
particularly the young<br />
fail drug tests, and<br />
this was the reason we<br />
were having to bring in overseas<br />
workers for these roles, made<br />
my blood boil for a number of<br />
reasons.<br />
First, it’s simply not true on the<br />
scale alleged. <strong>The</strong> Government’s<br />
own figures show that just 150<br />
people a year either failed or<br />
refused to take a drug test out of<br />
the 30,000 people a year who were<br />
tested.<br />
Our prime minister cynically<br />
scapegoated a group of people who<br />
need the Government’s backing<br />
rather than being thrown under<br />
the bus like this in response to<br />
the reporting of all-time high<br />
migration figures.<br />
Instead of an intelligent debate<br />
about employment, he decided to<br />
use anecdotes that had not been<br />
fact checked. But facts matter,<br />
and in this country we expect<br />
our prime minister to use them.<br />
A country’s young people are<br />
one its best resources, so for him<br />
to marginalise and blame them<br />
unfairly is shameful.<br />
While the prime minister and<br />
his party are busy taking pot shots<br />
at our young people, Labour has<br />
been forming plans to make sure<br />
all our young people are ready for<br />
work. Currently, there are 74,000<br />
young people not in education,<br />
employment or training and, last<br />
year, Andrew Little announced<br />
policy to fix this problem.<br />
Andrew did not shy away from<br />
the fact that there are some young<br />
people who occasionally need a<br />
kick up the backside to get them<br />
out the front door, but he also<br />
laid out a plan to help them into<br />
work. For a period of six months,<br />
young people would be offered<br />
employment on community and<br />
environmental projects and paid<br />
the minimum wage.<br />
Mentors will help them<br />
make the most out of this time<br />
and make sure that they learn<br />
important skills like punctuality.<br />
This further adds to our intention<br />
to pay the equivalent of the<br />
dole to employers who take on<br />
apprentices.<br />
Labour is not prepared to throw<br />
our young onto the scrap heap,<br />
we want a future where our young<br />
people have hope and opportunity,<br />
not a prime minister ready to use<br />
them as political fodder.<br />

Rise in<br />
number of<br />
motorists<br />
running<br />
red lights<br />
• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />
CHRISTCHURCH’S growing<br />
red light-running problem is<br />
leaving dozens of injuries in its<br />
wake.<br />
In the past year, there were 65<br />
crashes which left people<br />
injured after drivers ran<br />
red lights, up from 42 the<br />
year before.<br />
At the city’s top 10<br />
worst intersections this<br />
month, almost 5400<br />
drivers ran red lights in a<br />
single day.<br />
That was up 31 per cent from<br />
last year, and 64 per cent more<br />
than in 2014.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y do not include people<br />
turning right across an intersection<br />
on a red light.<br />
<strong>The</strong> worst for red light-runners<br />
was the intersection of Blenheim<br />
Rd and Mandeville St, where 652<br />
were detected on a single day on<br />
Thursday, December 1.<br />
Police figures have also grown.<br />
In the last year, 1491 people<br />
were ticketed for running red<br />
lights in Christchurch, up from<br />
1316 the year before and 1266 in<br />
2014.<br />
Canterbury road policing<br />
manager Inspector Al Stewart<br />
(left) said he was disappointed to<br />
see the rise.<br />
“It puts people at risk. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
may get away with it 99<br />
out of 100 times, but it is<br />
that one time which could<br />
leave someone injured or<br />
killed,” he said.<br />
He said police had a<br />
focus last year on bad<br />
driving at intersections,<br />
which included red<br />
light-running, and that would<br />
continue until the numbers<br />
improved.<br />
People often had different<br />
excuses when ticketed for running<br />
red lights, but there was no<br />
acceptable reason, he said.<br />
“A lot of people are simply<br />
focused on other things and<br />
don’t see it, but that is just as<br />
unacceptable as running a light<br />
deliberately, because when driving<br />
you should be focused on the<br />
task at hand,” he said.<br />

FUEL TAX IDEA<br />
You’ve got to be<br />
joking – motorists<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
MOTORISTS HAVE slammed<br />
an idea to introduce a regional<br />
fuel tax in Canterbury to fix<br />
earthquake-damaged roads.<br />
Last week, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> revealed<br />
city councillors Aaron Keown<br />
and Phil Clearwater were pushing<br />
for a fuel tax.<br />
But <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has received said she would be “very disappointed”<br />
if a fuel tax was intro-<br />

with all but one saying they did duced.<br />
not want a regional fuel tax (see “We’re paying more for fuel<br />

here in Christchurch. I fee like<br />
<strong>The</strong>y said petrol was already there’s so many other ways to<br />
expensive including the fuel contribute to the roads.<br />
excise, and the city council<br />
“A lot of people can’t afford to<br />

Cr Keown said he expected happened there before making<br />
opposition to the idea – but in any decisions on asking the Governmen<br />
to look at Canterbury.<br />
paying extra on fuel tax to fix<br />
the roads, it would save money Canterbury University transport<br />
expert Simon Kingham said<br />
in the future.<br />
“Rather than pay a little bit the idea was feasible because it<br />
more on fuel, they’d rather was user-based.<br />

Cor Vink<br />
Canterbury Museum’s spider-man<br />
Behind the public<br />
displays at Canterbury<br />
Museum is a hidden lab,<br />
with boxes filled with<br />
hundreds of preserved<br />
spiders in vials. It’s<br />
the office of Natural<br />
History curator and<br />
arachnologist Cor Vink.<br />
He spoke to Gabrielle<br />
Stuart<br />
So have you always liked<br />
spiders?<br />
I did. When I was a kid, my<br />
parents loved tramping, so we often<br />
came across spiders. I always<br />
liked predators – anything that<br />
had to kill something the same<br />
size or larger than it to survive I<br />
found fascinating. And they’re so<br />
different to us, so alien, from the<br />
way they feed to their biology.<br />
New Zealand is a very interesting<br />
place to live if you’re<br />
interested in spiders. About 95<br />
per cent of spiders here are found<br />
nowhere else in the world. It is<br />
estimated we have 2000 different<br />
kinds of spiders in New Zealand,<br />
and only about 1200 have names.<br />
<strong>The</strong> others haven’t been named<br />
STUDY: Canterbury Museum Natural History curator Cor Vink is passionate about discovering and<br />
understanding New Zealand’s spiders.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
or studied. And the ones we<br />
know most about are the most<br />
uninteresting ones, the most<br />
common household spiders.<br />
So what does your job<br />
involve?<br />
It’s about half maintaining collections,<br />
and 25 per cent public<br />
interaction, giving talks and that<br />
kind of thing. <strong>The</strong> other quarter<br />
is research, or supervising students.<br />
And you were involved in<br />
catching the huntsman spider<br />
found recently at Lululemon?<br />
Yes, I was. It’s not the only<br />
huntsman we’ve had here,<br />
though. One was found in<br />
Hillmorton in 2006, and others<br />
popped up regularly in the<br />
same area over a couple of years<br />
afterward – although I haven’t<br />
heard of any there recently. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
were two species often found up<br />
in Auckland. And a chap on our<br />
Facebook page recently posted a<br />
picture of a huntsman and said<br />
he found them regularly at his<br />
work, but he hasn’t replied to my<br />
messages, so I’m not sure where.<br />
Huntsman spiders are not dangerous<br />
to humans, but they are a<br />
predator, so we don’t want them<br />
here because they would eat our<br />
native insects.<br />
What about New Zealand spiders?<br />
Do we have big ones here?<br />
Yes – the Nelson cave spiders<br />
have a leg span of up to 13cm,<br />
and bodies about 3cm in length.<br />
But they vary a lot. Our smallest<br />
would be smaller than a full stop<br />
on a page.<br />
So what is spider-hunting like<br />
when you’re out in the field?<br />
Well, they’re usually active at<br />
night after the sun goes down, so<br />
you need a good head torch. But<br />
it depends what you’re looking at<br />
and where you want to go.<br />

busts the myths about arachnids<br />
Trapdoor spiders are an interesting<br />
one to catch, because they<br />
like to stay inside their burrow<br />
behind the trapdoor. So to catch<br />
them, one researcher – Vikki<br />
Smith – invented a technique<br />
they call “beetling”, where they<br />
tie a leash around a beetle and<br />
walk it up and down outside the<br />
trap to lure the spider out. When<br />
the spider comes out to catch the<br />
beetle they block the door so it<br />
can’t get back in<br />
I wouldn’t like to be the<br />
beetle.<br />
No, but the beetle usually<br />
survives it. Vikki had one beetle<br />
she called Pete, who she kept for<br />
a long time, although I believe he<br />
recently died.<br />
RIP Pete. And when you’re<br />
working in the lab, what kind<br />
of discoveries do you find most<br />
interesting?<br />
I think the most exciting thing<br />
is just to look down a microscope<br />
and realise you’re looking at a<br />
unique species that has never<br />
been seen before.<br />
Have you been able to name<br />
any new species?<br />
Yes, about 30. <strong>The</strong>re are rules<br />
about what you can name them<br />
– they can be about where it is<br />
found or what it looks like, or the<br />
MYTH: Cor Vink said many people believed white tail spider<br />
bites could be deadly, but that was a myth.<br />
people who found them.<br />
Have you given any particularly<br />
interesting names?<br />
Not myself, although there<br />
are some interesting names for<br />
spiders in New Zealand. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is a genus of tiny spider called<br />
beelzebub, named for the Jewish<br />
‘lord of the flies’. But you can do<br />
some damage if you choose the<br />
wrong name. <strong>The</strong>re is a kind of<br />
cave beetle, which was discovered<br />
by a Nazi supporter, and he<br />
named it hitleri, after Hitler. It is<br />
nothing special, but because of<br />
the name, it is now endangered,<br />
because a lot of crazy neo-Nazis<br />
want it in their collections, so<br />
they hunt them down.<br />
Obviously spiders aren’t popular<br />
with everyone – does that<br />
make it hard to get research or<br />
conservation funding?<br />
Well, they’re not pretty, fluffy<br />
birds, that’s for sure. I don’t need<br />
much research funding because<br />
most of my work is collectionbased.<br />
I have done things like<br />
molecular research, but not a lot<br />
of it, so funding isn’t something<br />
that keeps me up at night.<br />
Are there any spiders that<br />
scare you?<br />
Not really, because I know<br />
they’re not going to go after<br />
you. Some, like the white tails,<br />
are quite creepy and they have<br />
a painful bite. But I’ve worked<br />
with spiders for more than 20<br />
years, and I’ve never been bitten.<br />
What do your children think<br />
of your work?<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re fine with it. <strong>The</strong>y’re<br />
12 and 10, and they know the<br />
names of a lot of species and<br />
they’re quite good at finding<br />
them, too. <strong>The</strong>y’ve come on<br />
several trips with me, helping me<br />
collect them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are a lot of myths<br />
people believe about spiders<br />
– which do you run into most<br />
often?<br />
One of the most common is<br />
that white tail venom is deadly.<br />
It’s not deadly. People will show<br />
you dramatic wounds which,<br />
they say, came from a white tail<br />
bite, but often they didn’t see it<br />
happen. It’s likely just a secondary<br />
infection, which is more likely<br />
to have come from a mosquito<br />
than a white tail. <strong>The</strong> other one<br />
is that cellar spiders, which most<br />
people call daddy-long-legs, have<br />
highly potent venom. <strong>The</strong> reality<br />
is, it’s not potent at all. You<br />
would need about 50 bites on a<br />
mouse to kill it. And there’s the<br />
myth about swallowing spiders<br />
in your sleep. It’s true they like<br />
dark places, but not somewhere<br />
wet like your mouth. So I don’t<br />
know where that came from.<br />

Fashion<br />
Runway show for Ronald McDonald House<br />
KIWI FASHION celebrities and<br />
some special models will hit<br />
the catwalk next month to raise<br />
money for Ronald McDonald<br />
House.<br />
<strong>The</strong> M Factor Fashion Show<br />
for Ronald McDonald House<br />
will bring together New Zealand<br />
designers to raise money for the<br />
charity.<br />
It will take place at <strong>The</strong><br />
Foundry on April 1 at 7pm.<br />
Ronald McDonald House provides<br />
a place where families can<br />
stay for free while their children<br />
receive medical treatment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family-friendly fashion<br />
show will see collections from<br />
the likes of Andrea Moore,<br />
Augustine, Annah Stretton<br />
and more, including children’s<br />
clothing labels.<br />
It is not just your average<br />
fashion show, as the models<br />
include families who stay at<br />
Ronald McDonald House.<br />
Last year, Tasja and Pyper<br />
Murphy, of Greymouth,<br />
modelled in the fashion show.<br />
Tasja was diagnosed with a<br />
brain tumour in 2013, and the<br />
Murphy family have stayed<br />
at Ronald McDonald House<br />
since then when she receives<br />
treatment.<br />
After the success of last year’s<br />
show, Maree Harris, owner and<br />
events organiser at M Factor<br />
Events, is looking forward to<br />
bringing more glitz, glamour<br />
and fashion to this year’s runway.<br />
It is a charity close to Ms<br />
Harris’ heart, as her twin nieces<br />
and family spent two months<br />
staying at Ronald McDonald<br />
House.<br />
“It’s a really special charity to<br />
me, which is why I am so excited<br />
to use my passion to support<br />
such an incredible cause.”<br />
Ronald McDonald House<br />
South Island chief executive<br />
Matthew Mark said it always<br />
amazed him how Kiwis rallied<br />
to support other families during<br />
what was often described as<br />
the toughest period of their<br />
lives.<br />
“Last year, over 627 families<br />
from across the South Island<br />
stayed at Ronald McDonald<br />
House South Island, and because<br />
we receive no direct Government<br />
funding we rely on community<br />
support.”<br />
GOOD CAUSE: Tasja<br />

Murphy modelling in<br />
last year’s M Factor<br />
Fashion Show. <br />
Tickets are available at<br />
ticketmaster.co.nz and are priced<br />
at $75 for VIP, $55 for general<br />
admission and $30 for children<br />
and students.<br />
Funds raised from this event<br />
will go towards taking care of the<br />

Be seduced by the Spanish city of Cordoba<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
IN THE eyes of visitors,<br />
Andalucía’s enduring allure is<br />
legendary, but the textured,<br />
atmospheric appeal of Southern<br />
Spain is spectacularly illustrated<br />
in effortlessly explorable<br />
Cordoba.<br />
I based myself in the heart of<br />
the old city, at a cheap and cheerful<br />
two-star establishment, Hotel<br />
Boston, from where I lapped up<br />
the sights like a perky cub-scout.<br />
Cordoba is the sort of place<br />
that seduces you, from the<br />
moment you arrive. To get an<br />
absorbing overview, jump onboard<br />
a City Sightseeing Hop-on<br />
Hop-off Bus. www.city-ss.com<br />
A thousand years ago, Cordoba<br />
formed the heart of the<br />
Western Islamic Empire, as<br />
capital of the Moorish kingdom<br />
of Al-Andulus. At its peak,<br />
Cordoba was home to half a<br />
million residents, making it<br />
Western Europe’s biggest city.<br />
That’s what really surprised me,<br />
because even though it’s still got<br />
plenty of bustle, Cordoba exudes<br />
a human-scale mystique.<br />
<strong>The</strong> star attraction is unquestionably<br />
the storied Mezquita,<br />
not dissimilar to Istanbul’s Hagia<br />
Sophia, whereby you’re rewarded<br />
by a two-in-one mosque and<br />
cathedral combo. Built in 783AD<br />
ORNATE: <strong>The</strong> two-in-one Mezquita is a mosque and cathedral combo. Its interior is a vast forest of pillars and horse shoe-shaped<br />
arches.<br />
by the Moorish conquerors on<br />
the site of a very early Christian<br />
church, they demolished the<br />
church to create this artistic treasure,<br />
which they wanted to rival<br />
the world’s great mosques.<br />
Entering its cavernous expanse,<br />
I was transfixed by its<br />
vast forest of pillars and horse<br />
shoe arches, which look a bit like<br />
candy canes, with a two toned<br />
ochre and cream colour scheme.<br />
When the Spanish Catholics reconquered<br />
Cordoba, mercifully,<br />
they didn’t destroy the building,<br />
opting instead to hide the minaret<br />
within a new bell tower, and<br />
plonking a church within the<br />
mosque’s existing fabric.<br />
Fast forward 1000 years and<br />
a major sticking point today is<br />
that Muslims cannot pray in the<br />
Mezquita, given it’s a practising<br />
Catholic church. <strong>The</strong>y’ve<br />
appealed to the Vatican to grant<br />
them a prayer room, without<br />
success. Several years ago, a<br />
group of Muslim tourists started<br />
mass-praying within the building,<br />
causing a huge stink, which<br />
resulted in several security<br />
guards being stabbed.<br />
How sad that such an incredible<br />
masterpiece of world heritage<br />
is racked with resentment, which<br />
underscores Spain’s inner-turmoil<br />
about its contested sense of<br />
identity and shared history.<br />
If you want to marvel at this<br />
building, before the ravenous<br />
hordes of tourists swamp it,<br />
jump up early and enjoy the<br />
early morning free admission,<br />
between 8.30am and 10am. Beyond<br />
the Mezquita, lose yourself<br />
in the time-honoured Juderia,<br />
the Old Jewish quarter.<br />
This labyrinthine neighbourhood<br />
of twisting laneways is<br />
not overtly touristy or commercialised.<br />
You can also see the<br />
13th-century synagogue which<br />
was converted into a church,<br />
when the Spanish monarchy<br />
expelled the Jews from Spain.<br />
It’s the perfect place to wander<br />
aimlessly, in the maze of cobbled<br />
lanes with shady flower-filled<br />
courtyards. It’s peaceful, timeless<br />
and quintessential Cordoba.<br />
Another reason to rise early,<br />
is to hot-foot it down Puente<br />
Romano.<br />

Walk the maze of cobbled lanes and courtyards<br />
•From page 29<br />
Spanning the Guadalquivir River,<br />
this grand old Roman Bridge turns<br />
on a celestial light show (below). In<br />
a scene straight out of a fairytale, as<br />
the rays of the rising sun caresses<br />
the honey-hued limestone bridge,<br />
the resulting mirror reflection on<br />
the water, produces a sensational<br />
“river of gold” mirage.<br />
Much of Cordoba’s medieval<br />
architecture is constructed in the<br />
honey-coloured stone, so the magic<br />
hours of the rising and setting sun<br />
create a photogenic feast.<br />
Central to the local way of life<br />
is the cherished – even revered –<br />
patio. Throughout most of May the<br />
annual Festival of the Patios<br />
is a source of incredible local<br />
pride, and a monumental tourist<br />
draw.<br />
Even back in the days of the Romans,<br />
Cordoba homes were built<br />
with a central patio or courtyard, as<br />
a trusty refuge from the scorching<br />
heat.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tradition was enhanced by<br />
the Moors, with stone mosaics,<br />
ceramic tiles and water features,<br />
vividly accentuating the decorative<br />
touches to the patios.<br />
May is a magical month to<br />
plan a visit to the city, when over<br />
50 patios, tucked away behind<br />
heavy doors and iron gates, are<br />
thrown open for public viewing,<br />
for free.<br />
It’s a tantalising encounter with<br />
authentic Cordoba living and you’ll<br />
notice that patio decoration is not<br />
only a big business, but powered<br />
by plenty of “keeping up with the<br />
Joneses” rivalry.<br />

Gardening<br />
Pretty nemophila for pots or planting<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
STRONG: Water black penny regularly<br />
for a good show.<br />

latest issue of<br />
kiwigardener<br />
NEMOPHILA IS a lovely annual<br />
that produces masses of tiny, pretty<br />
flowers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> individual flowers are small<br />
and delightful, but planted on<br />
mass, nemophila looks stunning<br />
and striking. Google nemophila<br />
at Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan<br />
for a glimpse of how spectacular<br />
nemophila can look.<br />
Some of my favourites are snow<br />
storm which has white flowers<br />
with fine pencil markings, black<br />
penny flowers are dark purple with<br />
white edges and blue chip flowers<br />
are blue with white centres. Blue<br />
chip grows to a height of 20cm and<br />
the other two to a height of 10cm.<br />
Try growing a mix of all three or<br />
just one variety to create a strong<br />
statement.<br />
In addition to mass planting,<br />
they look lovely in pots, containers,<br />
borders, baskets and rock gardens.<br />
Once you’ve got your seedlings<br />
simply plant each one around 25cm<br />
from the next in a spot that has full<br />
sun or part shade and moist soil.<br />
In around four weeks you can<br />
expect to see your nemophila<br />
put on their show. Water them<br />
regularly and you’ll help keep the<br />
flower show going longer.<br />
PLENTIFUL: Snow storm in a pot produces masses of individual flowers.<br />

An apple a day<br />
Rachel Vogan says apples are easy to grow and<br />
wonderful to eat – so why not grow your own?<br />
REFERRED TO as the<br />
world’s most popular fruit,<br />
apples are one of the easiest<br />
crops to grow.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are often classified<br />
as eating or dessert/<br />
cooking apples. If room<br />
isn’t an issue try to plant a<br />
range of apples that mature<br />
at different times, so you<br />
can have a long harvest<br />
period.<br />
POLLINATION<br />
Apples are pollinated by<br />
bees, which move around<br />
apple and crab apple<br />
trees (which are useful<br />
pollinators for apple trees<br />
due to their abundance of<br />
pollen and long flowering<br />
period). If you only have<br />
room for one, make sure<br />
it’s self-fertile, or if your<br />
neighbour has a tree or<br />
two, the bees will move<br />
from garden to garden to<br />
aid in fertilisation.<br />
MAINTENANCE<br />
Young apple trees need<br />
little pruning other than<br />
to train to shape until<br />
the plants have multiple<br />
branches or when they<br />
are starting to take up too<br />
much space. Prune to aid<br />
air and light movement<br />
once established after<br />
harvesting in winter.<br />
Fertilise in spring with<br />
a general-purpose fruit<br />
fertiliser; avoid anything<br />
that is exceptionally high in<br />
nitrogen.<br />
MULTI-GRAFTED<br />
VARIETIES<br />
<strong>The</strong> expert<br />
horticulturalists, who grow<br />
the trees, graft the apple<br />
variety onto a vigorous<br />
rootstock. <strong>The</strong>se rootstocks<br />
cope with a variety of<br />
soil types and govern the<br />
READY TO PICK: <strong>The</strong> flavour of home-grown is<br />
best.<br />
eventual height of the<br />
tree. Grafting is nothing<br />
new, it has been done for<br />
centuries, and it allows<br />
for more than one variety<br />
to be grafted onto each<br />
rootstock. Multi-grafted<br />
apple trees are popular<br />
and readily available; some<br />
even come in triple grafts,<br />
ie three varieties of apple<br />
on one tree.<br />
ONES TO TRY<br />
<strong>The</strong> list of apple trees<br />
available is fairly long, with<br />
well over 100 different<br />
varieties from new hybrids<br />
through to those which<br />
came out with the first<br />
settlers. Here are a few<br />
favourites:<br />
• ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Red<br />
Delicious’ both produce<br />
large, smooth-skinned<br />
fruit.<br />
• ‘Braeburn’, ‘Gala’,<br />
‘Monty’s Surprise’ and<br />
‘Fuji’ are all reliable, tasty,<br />
flavoursome, crunchy<br />
fruit with good red<br />
colours and tones.<br />
• ‘Granny Smith’,<br />
‘Bramley’s Seedling’ and<br />
‘Baujade’ are all green<br />
cooking-apple types.<br />
• Big is better? ‘Peasgood<br />
Nonsuch’ offers monstersized<br />
fruit.<br />
• Low-maintenance and<br />
tasty varieties include<br />
‘Initial’, ‘Adore’, ‘Ariane’<br />
and ‘Divine’, which all<br />
produce wonderful<br />
apples, and what is even<br />
better is that they are<br />
disease resistant and do<br />
not need spraying.<br />
WHAT YOU NEED TO<br />
KNOW<br />
• Full sun is mandatory.<br />
• For clay-based and heavy<br />
soils, work in grit and<br />
gypsum before planting<br />
to help drain the soil, or<br />
build the site up so water<br />
will not pool around the<br />
base of the trees.<br />
• In light, loose, even<br />
sandy soils, be generous<br />
and load up with<br />
compost and well-rotted<br />
manure. This must be<br />
worked through the soil<br />
to ensure the roots have<br />
something solid to latch<br />
on to.<br />

CITY 2 SURF TRAINING PROGRAMME<br />
day routine so it is familiar to you on the<br />
day. You won’t know what the weather<br />
will be like until a couple of days before<br />
so don’t worry about that now, just be<br />
prepared for every weather condition.<br />
This is Christchurch autumn with all its<br />
unpredictable weather patterns from<br />
a warm nor’west day, to snow! So find<br />
some gloves, a hat, a polypropylene top<br />
and a jacket in case you need these. And<br />
don’t forget the sunscreen.<br />
Your training this week is still solid with<br />
the last long run on the Wednesday as<br />
the taper to freshen up the legs starts in<br />
the weekend. If you feel a bit underdone<br />
don’t fall into the trap of doing “catch<br />
up training”. That is putting in some<br />
extra sessions or going a bit longer and<br />
harder than indicated. You take a risk of<br />
injury or excessive tiredness and it is too<br />
late to have much of an effect anyway,<br />
so relax and stick to your plan!<br />

TIP OF THE WEEK<br />
A normal breakfast<br />
before you take part in<br />
an endurance event is<br />
taken 2-3 hours before<br />
the event. It should<br />
consist mainly of slow<br />
release carbohydrates,<br />
also called foods with a<br />
low glycaemic index.<br />
Low GI foods include oatmeal (rolled<br />
oats), skim milk, most fruits (except grapes,<br />
watermelon and banana’s), nuts and whole<br />
meal bread. In the 2 hours before the event you<br />
don’t need much. You can sip on a sports drink<br />
or have a banana if you feel hungry but you<br />
don’t want to start with a full tummy and the<br />
right breakfast will keep you going till the finish.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nutritionists at SportsMed can assist with<br />
your nutrition if necessary.<br />

Firepower for Crusaders ahead of Reds clash<br />
AN EXPECTED call-up for<br />
former Wallaby Digby Ioane<br />
will add extra firepower to the<br />
Crusaders side that stirs more<br />
nightmares in the Reds ranks<br />
than any other team.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders have averaged<br />
six tries and 47 points, when<br />
demolishing the Reds four times<br />
since they met in the 2013 finals<br />
series.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y meet the Reds on Saturday<br />
night in Brisbane.<br />

Ioane has been hindered by<br />
a hip injury, since exploding<br />
through four Reds defenders for<br />
a trademark try at the Brisbane<br />
Global Rugby Tens last month.<br />
He made his return in the<br />
curtain-raiser last Saturday in<br />
Dunedin, before the Crusaders<br />
pegged back a 27-6 deficit for<br />
a brilliant 30-27 win over the<br />
Highlanders.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Crusaders see Ioane and<br />
All Black Seta Tamanivalu as<br />
the twin weapons on the wing<br />
to replace the loss of 125kg<br />
juggernaut Nemani Nadolo this<br />
season.<br />
Tamanivalu is already making<br />
a huge impact with his offloads,<br />
ball-running and those powerful<br />
strides through two defenders<br />
for the match-winning try<br />
against Highlanders.<br />

Harewood amateur in<br />
New Zealand Open<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
MATT MCLEAN has claimed<br />
one of only six spots out of<br />
172 players who attempted to<br />
qualify for the New Zealand<br />
Open.<br />
McLean, 21, will be one of<br />
only four amateurs to tee off<br />
in today’s New Zealand Open<br />
being played at <strong>The</strong> Hills<br />
and Millbrook golf clubs in<br />
Queenstown. <strong>The</strong> open finishes<br />
on Sunday.<br />
To qualify, the Harewood<br />
club amateur finished<br />
second in the regional<br />
qualifying tournament at the<br />
Christchurch Golf Club. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
McLean sealed his spot in the<br />
open by finishing tied for first<br />
in the last stage of qualifying<br />
in Cromwell on Monday.<br />
“I’ve tried to qualify a few<br />
times in the past and haven’t<br />
made it past the first stage in<br />
Christchurch. I was quietly<br />
confident going into Cromwell<br />
because I’ve played there quite<br />
a few times, so I was pretty<br />
proud of myself to get it done,”<br />
said McLean.<br />
He will not only get to play<br />
alongside some of Australasia’s<br />
top golfers but also some of<br />

cricket’s greats who are playing<br />
in the pro-am at the tournament.<br />
“I got to see some of them<br />
teeing of yesterday. Shane<br />
Warne congratulated me on<br />
qualifying and he was really<br />
nice to talk to,” said McLean.<br />
<strong>The</strong> amateur is in his fourth<br />
year at Lincoln University on<br />
a golfing scholarship. He also<br />
works part time in the pro<br />
shop and as a greenkeeper at<br />
the Harewood Golf Club.<br />
McLean’s aim at the open is<br />
to make the cut for the final<br />
two rounds at the weekend and<br />
to finish as the top amateur.<br />
Strike bowler’s 10-wicket bag<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SUMNER’S groundsman rolled<br />
the pitch at St Leonards Square<br />
on Saturday morning before<br />
rolling New Brighton’s batting<br />
line-up in the afternoon.<br />
It was the perfect day at the<br />
office for Brendon Wellington<br />
who picked up a 10-wicket haul<br />
in the first day of a two-day<br />
match in the Metro senior A<br />
competition.<br />
Sumner were asked to bat and<br />
scored a first innings total of<br />
294/8 before it became the Wellington<br />
show. <strong>The</strong> groundsman<br />
come left-arm strike bowler had<br />
career best figures of 7-30 as<br />
New Brighton were dismissed<br />
for 151 in just the 22nd over.<br />
“It helps knowing where the<br />
juicy parts in the pitch are,” said<br />
Wellington.<br />
<strong>The</strong> home side then enforced<br />
the follow on, allowing Wellington<br />
to complete his 10-wicket<br />
haul before the day was done as<br />
he picked up 3-28 prior to the<br />
close of play.<br />
“I did some pretty good celebratory<br />
moves . . . I even pulled<br />
out a special celebration, the<br />
chainsaw.”<br />
New Brighton will resume on<br />
88/4 in the second day of the<br />
match on Saturday, still 55 runs<br />
behind Sumner.<br />

Warriors contract not out of the question for Kahu<br />
KIWI international Jordan<br />
Kahu says he is open to a<br />
return to New Zealand and<br />
possible contract with the<br />
Warriors.<br />
THe skilful Broncos star has<br />
been gaining local attention<br />
in the Brisbane media with<br />
speculation he may quit the<br />
Wayne Bennett-coached club at<br />
the end of this season.<br />
Kahu told Brisbane’s Courier-<br />
Mail that he will do what’s best<br />
for his young family when it<br />
comes to securing his future<br />
beyond <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
THe Kiwi international is offcontract<br />
at the end of this season,<br />
along with a number of his<br />
Brisbane teammates.<br />
While players like Australian<br />
reps Anthony Milford and<br />
Darius Boyd are expected to be<br />
among the first re-signed by the<br />
club, Kahu’s future is still up in<br />
the air.<br />
THe centre said staying in<br />
Brisbane would be the easiest<br />

option as this stage with his<br />
young family, but did not go as<br />
far as Milford to say he was only<br />
considering the Broncos.<br />
With his partner Jess Kent due<br />
to give birth to their second child<br />
next month, Kahu said he would<br />
keep all options open.<br />
“I am doing everything for<br />
them right now,” he told the<br />
Courier-Mail.<br />
“I have to make sure I’m<br />
looking after them first and<br />
foremost. I have to see what the<br />
best offer is and make sure I’m<br />
doing the best for my family.<br />
“I haven’t spoken to my<br />
manager about anything yet<br />
but I will be open to anything.<br />
(But) it would be a lot easier if we<br />
stayed here.”<br />
Kahu is yet to speak to his<br />
manager about his contract<br />
negotiations.<br />
THe Kiwi back, whose family<br />
lives in Wellington, was linked to<br />
a possible move to the Warriors<br />
last year but denied the rumours<br />
Thursday <strong>March</strong> 9 <strong>2017</strong><br />
at the time.<br />
However, now that he was<br />
off-contract, he did not rule out<br />
returning to his home country.<br />
“I’ve always thought about going<br />
home,” Kahu said.<br />
“Auckland (Warriors’ base)<br />
is pretty far from Wellington<br />
though and that’s where both of<br />
our families are. But I’m open to<br />
anything.”<br />

Major makeover for<br />
BMW’s versatile X1<br />
Here’s a<br />

deals!<br />
OVER 1000 VEHICLES<br />
FOR SALE<br />
Best<br />
Motorbuys<br />
TM<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
GIVEN THE importance<br />
of the SUV market,<br />
especially the mainstream/<br />
affordable section,<br />
BMW wasn’t going to let<br />
development wane on its<br />
popular X1.<br />
Recently, it received a<br />
fairly hefty makeover, so<br />
much so that BMW is<br />
calling it a new generation<br />
model.<br />
While the concept has<br />
been retained, the new<br />
X1 has a more chunky,<br />
muscular appearance<br />
providing an aggressive<br />
stance. <strong>The</strong> interior has also<br />
been revised to offer more<br />
space, and it carries more<br />
kit in terms of innovation.<br />
However, most<br />
importantly, BMW have<br />
revised the engine lineup<br />
in the X1 to include<br />
two brand new engines<br />
– petrol and diesel. All<br />
four powertrains are<br />
more efficient and more<br />
powerful than the previous<br />
generation units.<br />
<strong>The</strong> test car was<br />
the xDrive20d, as its<br />
nomenclature suggests it<br />
is a four-cylinder, 2-litre,<br />
turbocharged diesel model.<br />
It is rated by BMW at<br />
140kW and 400Nm, and<br />
lays claim to an amazing<br />
4.9-litre per 100km<br />
(57mpg) combined cycle<br />
fuel usage rating.<br />
I wouldn’t dispute<br />
that figure. During my<br />
testing time the fuel usage<br />
readout was constantly<br />
listing around 6.5l/100km<br />
(43mpg) with a stunning<br />
4l/100km (70mpg)<br />
available instantaneously<br />
at 100km/h in eighth gear<br />
(engine speed 1500rpm).<br />
Yes, the engine drives<br />
through a fabulous eightspeed<br />
traditional gearbox.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are steering wheelmounted<br />
paddles if you<br />
want to take control over<br />
the gear-shifting process,<br />
and if you want to force<br />
sporty performance, sport<br />
mode engine management<br />
protocols are available<br />
through a central consolemounted<br />
switch. It also<br />
offers eco pro mode for<br />
BMW X1: Useful four-wheel-drive system.<br />
economical motoring, or<br />
normal mode; the latter I<br />
far prefer and as you can<br />
ascertain, it still provides<br />
fuel consumption figures<br />
to envy.<br />
• Price – BMW X1,<br />
$80,600<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4439mm; width,<br />
1821mm; height,<br />
1612mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheeldrive,<br />
1995cc, 140kW,<br />
400Nm, eight-speed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 7.6sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
4.9l/100km<br />
And the economy<br />
doesn’t come at the cost<br />
of performance. <strong>The</strong><br />
X1 in this form is quick<br />
with a 7.6sec standstill<br />
to 100km/h time. It feels<br />
constantly feisty beneath<br />
the accelerator, and when<br />
the turbo boost really kicks<br />
in through the mid-range<br />
the diesel X1 takes on a<br />
sporty persona.<br />
That is matched by a<br />
well-tuned chassis and<br />
suspension set-up. <strong>The</strong><br />
fully-independent set-up is<br />
only moderately firmed so<br />
that ride comfort has a high<br />
priority. Yet the X1 can be<br />
driven like a sports sedan,<br />
it has decisive handling<br />
manners and accuracy is<br />
precise, while body balance<br />
is well controlled.<br />
XDrive simply means<br />
four-wheel-drive, and that<br />
adds in the grip factor.<br />
CLEAN LINES: <strong>The</strong> X1 is fresh and stylish.<br />
Even when conditions don’t<br />
necessitate full involvement<br />
of four-wheel-drive, the<br />
X1 feels strongly attached<br />
to the road all of the time,<br />
and that imparts a secure<br />
sensation underneath.<br />
I like the way the X1<br />
handles, it is almost<br />
unnatural for an SUV and<br />
takes on the characteristics<br />
of BMW’s desirable sports<br />
sedans; its pedigree shows<br />
up in its performance.<br />
Maximum torque is spread<br />
strongly throughout the<br />
rev range, which means<br />
the slightest throttle<br />
provocation will result in<br />
eager response.<br />
<strong>The</strong> X1 has also been<br />
refreshed so that occupants<br />
get a comfortable ride. It<br />
can be classed as a true<br />
five-seater, although at just<br />
under 4.5m it isn’t a big<br />
vehicle, but for the smaller<br />
family, it is an SUV which<br />
competes fairly in that<br />
segment. And it has a load<br />
space on par for vehicle<br />
type.<br />
<strong>The</strong> test car was carrying<br />
a few optional extras,<br />
but even at $80,600 the<br />
xDrive20d represents value<br />
for a premium vehicle,<br />
and bear in mind that the<br />
four-model range starts<br />
at $59,900 for the petrolfuelled<br />
two-wheel-drive<br />
sDrive18d.<br />
For the $80k you get<br />
a host of kit including<br />
satellite navigation, central<br />
display screen, i-Drive<br />
infotainment controller,<br />
dual-zone climate control,<br />
idle stop-start, and<br />
ConnectedDrive, a driver<br />
emergency assistance<br />
platform and concierge<br />
service, just to list a few of<br />
the items.<br />
<strong>The</strong> specification level is<br />
something BMW does well,<br />
you can option up through<br />
a long list of accessories.<br />
For that reason, the X1<br />
is an important car for<br />
BMW. It is priced so that<br />
buyers can reach the brand<br />
and enjoy the benefits<br />
of a European buying<br />
experience.<br />

<strong>The</strong> number game that<br />
improves your arithmetic<br />
HOW TO PLAY<br />
It’s like sudoku: each<br />
vertical and horizontal<br />
line has to contain<br />
the numbers 1-6, and<br />
the numbers can’t be<br />
repeated in any row or<br />
column.<br />
But it’s sudoku with a<br />
twist: <strong>The</strong> numbers in<br />
each heavily outlined<br />
set of squares, called<br />
cages, must produce the<br />
number in the top corner.<br />
For example, 5+ means<br />
the numbers add up to 5,<br />
9x means the numbers<br />
multiply to equal 9.<br />
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the<br />
same line or row.<br />

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO<br />
APPROACH MAINTENANCE?<br />
Carry out regular preventative maintenance<br />
to prevent some problems from occurring.<br />
MAINTAINING YOUR HOME<br />
Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.<br />
Be prepared for emergencies – know where<br />
and how the water, gas and power supplies<br />
turn off.<br />
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL?<br />
You need to be realistic about your limits. It is<br />

ADVICE for maintaining<br />
your home<br />
Trish donates to<br />
Camp Quality<br />
better to hire a tradesperson and get the job<br />
done properly than to make costly mistakes.<br />
By law, some jobs need to be done by<br />
a professional, such as gas, plumbing,<br />
drainage and some electrical work. Major<br />
maintenance matters.<br />
MOISTURE<br />
Damp homes are unhealthy and harder to<br />
heat. Combat persistent damp in your home<br />
by:<br />
• Insulating (under the floor, in the ceiling<br />
and walls).<br />
• Ventilating (including extractor fans in<br />
bathrooms and kitchens, opening<br />
windows, using a dehumidifier or<br />
forced ventilation system and<br />
keeping vents clear).<br />
• Heating (aim to keep the indoor<br />
temperature at a minimum of 16C).<br />
• Replacing unflued gas heaters with<br />
electric or flued gas heaters.<br />

NOTICE OF LOCAL TRANSITION PERIOD<br />
We, the Mayors of Christchurch and Selwyn, give notice that we have agreed to<br />
invoke a period of transition to recovery as outlined in the Civil Defence Emergency<br />
Management Act 2002.<br />
We believe this to be in the public interest and desirable to ensure a timely and<br />
effective recovery.<br />
<strong>The</strong> transition period is effective from when the state of local emergency expires at<br />
6.00pm on Wednesday 1 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2017</strong> and is effective for 28 days, ending at 6.00pm on<br />
Wednesday 29 <strong>March</strong> <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision to introduce a transition period under the Act is based in part on the<br />
following:<br />
• Rural fire estimates that firefighters may be on the fire ground for another 3-4<br />
weeks managing the residual fire risk from the Port Hills fire<br />
• Significant rainfall to reduce fire risk is likely some time away<br />
• Residents in the affected areas that have suffered loss, or have been evacuated,<br />
are still feeling vulnerable<br />
• Ongoing psychosocial and general welfare assistance will be required for impacted<br />
residents in Selwyn District and Christchurch City<br />
• <strong>The</strong>re will be an ongoing need for cordon/access management to keep<br />
“rubberneckers” out of impacted communities, and also to restrict public access<br />
to some recreational areas due to residual fire risk<br />
• Heightened public information and media interest is likely for some time.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ministry of Social Development (MSD)<br />
in Papanui is moving to new offices.<br />
Work and Income and Child Youth and Family will now be<br />
located at 56 Langdons Road with the new site opening<br />
at 1:00pm on Monday 13 <strong>March</strong>.<br />
It’s an important part of our security that we know who<br />
is coming into our sites. Our security guards will have a<br />
quick conversation with people before they come into our<br />
offices to discuss why a person is there, and help make<br />
sure we don’t admit anyone who might represent a risk<br />
to the safety of other clients or our staff.<br />
If the person doesn’t have an appointment, they’ll be<br />
asked for ID, but not having ID won’t mean people can’t<br />
come into our offices.<br />
Our clients now also have access to a wide range of our<br />
services on the phone and online. This includes help with<br />
urgent costs, like food or emergency dental treatment,<br />
using our online service MyMSD.<br />
Thank you from the local MSD team.

While many of us take part in<br />
celebrating St Patrick's Day,<br />
there are probably few<br />
New Zealand's who know much<br />
about the Patron Saint of Ireland<br />
KNOWN as the ‘Apostle of Ireland’, St<br />
Patrick is one of the world’s most popular<br />
saints.<br />
Enslaved as a young teen by pagans and<br />
Druids, he turned to God while in captivity.<br />
Escaping at age 20, he returned to his<br />
family and began studying for the<br />
priesthood.<br />
He preached throughout Ireland<br />
converting many for 40 years. During his<br />
teachings he often used shamrocks to<br />
explain the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy<br />
Spirit.<br />
He died at Saul, the site of the first<br />
church he built, on <strong>March</strong> 17.<br />
St Patrick’s Day commemorates his<br />
death.<br />
