DISAPPOINTED: Animal-lover Maddie Collins, with her pony, Trig, and mother, Sarah Manson Collins, has been left feeling<br />

shattered after a bogus $1.5m donation pledge, which would have paid for the kidney treatment she needs.<br />

Cruel blow to sick teenager<br />

after bogus $1.5m pledge<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

THE FAMILY of Maddie<br />

Collins is devastated a<br />

$1.5 million pledge that could<br />

save the teenager’s life appears<br />

to be bogus.<br />

A middle-aged woman told<br />

the family she would donate<br />

the money from a $42 million<br />

inheritance, enough to pay for<br />

Maddie’s treatment for kidney<br />

failure.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman visited the family’s<br />

home to discuss the donation<br />

and continually phones and<br />

Facebook messages them.<br />

But Maddie’s mother Sarah<br />

Manson Collins now believes<br />

the offer is false.<br />

It has distressed the family<br />

considerably.<br />

“It’s that utter sense of false<br />

hope. When we met her we<br />

thought all our stresses and<br />

worries were gone,” Mrs<br />

Manson Collins told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />

“We thought we’ll get the<br />

transplant, and by next year<br />

Maddie will be fighting fit and<br />

able to get on with life,” she said.<br />

Maddie, 13, has kidney failure<br />

with potentially life-threatening<br />

complications. Her family has<br />

been involved in a high profile<br />

fundraising campaign to get her<br />

a kidney transplant and follow<br />

up treatment in the United<br />

States.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y visited the Baltimore<br />

hospital where the operation<br />

will take place last month and<br />

were told the cost had jumped<br />

from $350,000 to more than<br />

$700,000.<br />

About $170,000 has so far<br />

been raised for the St Margaret’s<br />

College year 9 student.<br />

<strong>The</strong> family was approached by<br />

the woman via Facebook early<br />

last month who asked to meet<br />

in person at their West Melton<br />

home to give them a cheque.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman spent an hour at<br />

their home but didn’t have the<br />

cheque, saying she needed to<br />

organise it with the bank.<br />

Since then the woman has<br />

made many more promises to<br />

pay, which haven’t eventuated.<br />

Arrest<br />

in serial<br />

arson<br />

case<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

A MAN in his 30s has been<br />

arrested for a spate of arsons that<br />

struck fear into residents in the<br />

Burnside and Ilam areas.<br />

Police charged the man late<br />

yesterday with seven counts of<br />

arson relating to wheelie bin fires<br />

dating back to May.<br />

He had been apprehended by<br />

a police patrol at the weekend<br />

after a wheelie bin was allegedly<br />

set alight near the intersection<br />

of Memorial Ave and Greers Rd,<br />

and charged with one count of<br />

arson.<br />

Detectives have been making<br />

further inquiries, which led to<br />

yesterday’s charges.<br />

He is scheduled to appear in<br />

the district court today.<br />

He will also face charges<br />

relating to the Misuse of Drugs<br />

Act.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark<br />

Worner said it was possible more<br />

charges will be laid.<br />

More than 10 wheelie bins were<br />

set on fire, with some that were<br />

close to houses causing damage<br />

to the dwellings.<br />

News....................................3-<strong>20</strong><br />

LIFE HAS a habit of serving<br />

up lots of surprises, good ones<br />

at times, but unfortunately bad<br />

ones too.<br />

Sarah Manson Collins and<br />

her family are used to dealing<br />

with the bad news. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

daughter Maddie, 13, has a rare<br />

kidney condition and it will<br />

cost more than $700,000 to sort<br />

out.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re have been a number<br />

of high profile fundraising<br />

activities and, so far, about<br />

$170,000 is in the kitty.<br />

But $700k is a Mt Everest<br />

they will struggle to climb.<br />

When a woman called them<br />

last month after hearing of<br />

Maddie’s plight and offered<br />

$1.5 million out of a huge<br />

inheritance, they thought good<br />

luck at last.<br />

As we reveal on page 1 today,<br />

the woman visited the family<br />

home, but failed to bring the<br />

cheque she had promised.<br />

She gave an excuse so not all<br />

was lost. But those excuses have<br />

been almost daily, and now the<br />

family has given up hope.<br />

That’s a cruel blow.<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />

This week in history saw the Government Life Building opened<br />

in Cathedral Sq. It was the city’s first “high rise glass box” but<br />

was demolished following the earthquakes. On <strong>July</strong> 19, 1880,<br />

Lincoln College opened, which was the first agricultural college<br />

in the Southern Hemisphere. On the same date in 1988, Jock Orr,<br />

nicknamed ‘<strong>The</strong> Birdman’ after befriending birds in Cathedral Sq,<br />

died. Canterbury defeated North Otago 88-0 in a record Ranfurly<br />

Shield match score at Lancaster Park. On <strong>July</strong> 23, 1851, Pioneer<br />

William Deans was among 28 lost in the wreck of the Maria in<br />

Cook Strait. John Godley had tried to deprive the Deans and Hay<br />

families of their farms because he wanted only Anglicans to own<br />

land in the new settlement. <strong>The</strong> Deans’ brothers sold sheep to<br />

pay the legal costs of fighting Godley’s high-handed action, and<br />

William Deans was travelling to Sydney to buy replacement stock.<br />

Former policeman on cannabis charge<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

A FORMER police officer and<br />

his son have been charged with<br />

cultivation of cannabis.<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

A JUNIOR female rugby coach<br />

has been stood down after she<br />

allegedly verbally and physically<br />

abused a young player and<br />

grabbed him by the collar<br />

during a match.<br />

West Melton under-14.5s<br />

coach Amanda Tomlinson<br />

has been sidelined while the<br />

Canterbury Rugby Football<br />

Union investigates the<br />

matter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> incident happened<br />

during her team’s match against<br />

Lincoln under-14.5s on <strong>July</strong> 8.<br />

A complaint was laid against<br />

Tomlinson by the Lincoln<br />

Rugby Club.<br />

Speaking to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

yesterday, Tomlinson said she<br />

grabbed the Lincoln player by<br />

his collar after he kicked a player<br />

from her team in the mouth<br />

during the match.<br />

“I didn’t physically assault<br />

him, I didn’t. I grabbed him<br />

by the collar of his shirt so he<br />

would look me in the eye,” she<br />

said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> West Melton player<br />

needed dental surgery, she said.<br />

“His teeth were facing his<br />

tonsils, basically. That doesn’t<br />

happen in a game of rugby,” she<br />

said.<br />

Tomlinson regretted what<br />

happened, but said she had<br />

to intervene before the boy’s<br />

“behaviour escalates”.<br />

She said she talked with the<br />

boy again after the match and<br />

made peace with him.<br />

“We’ve talked, we’ve hugged<br />

each other,” she said.<br />

Tomlinson said she was upset<br />

a complaint had been laid.<br />

“I spend so much of my<br />

time with these young teams,<br />

Craig Paul Richardson, 51,<br />

and Joel Tobias Richardson, 24,<br />

will appear in the district court<br />

on <strong>July</strong> 27.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir arrests came after police<br />

two hours on a Tuesday or a<br />

Thursday and two or three<br />

hours on a Saturday, and for<br />

no reward. So it just hurts,” she<br />

said.<br />

A decision on the initial<br />

CRFU investigation is expected<br />

early next week. It will then be<br />

decided if a formal hearing is<br />

required.<br />

Ellesmere Rugby Sub Union<br />

raided a New Brighton property<br />

earlier this month and allegedly<br />

found about 50 plants of varying<br />

maturity and a further 32 which<br />

had been recently harvested.<br />

president Stuart Boon, who initially<br />

received the complaint before<br />

sending it on to the CRFU,<br />

could not discuss details while<br />

the investigation was under way.<br />

No complaints had been<br />

laid about the behaviour of<br />

the player, but that would also<br />

be looked at as part of the<br />

investigation.<br />

Lincoln Rugby Club junior<br />

Craig Richardson was a police<br />

officer in Christchurch in the<br />

1980s and 90s.<br />

Court documents listed his<br />

son’s occupation as a chef.<br />

Junior coach stood down<br />

STOOD DOWN: <strong>The</strong> West Melton under-14.5 team, which is coached by Amanda Tomlinson<br />

(inset), before the match in which the incident happened.<br />

advisory board manager Mike<br />

Kingston said the boy who had<br />

been grabbed by Tomlinson was<br />

not injured.<br />

He would not comment on<br />

Tomlinson saying the Lincoln<br />

player had kicked a West Melton<br />

opponent in the face.<br />

West Melton Rugby Football<br />

Club president Anthony Calder<br />

refused to comment.<br />

In Brief<br />

VEHICLE BREAK-INS<br />

Twelve vehicles were broken into<br />

with loose coins and electronics<br />

stolen earlier this week. Police<br />

said seven vehicles were broken<br />

into in Bryndwr and Fendalton on<br />

Monday night and Tuesday morning,<br />

and five in Waltham. Many<br />

were parked in driveways. Senior<br />

Sergeant Vaughn Lapslie said while<br />

police were focusing on vehicle<br />

crime, owners still needed to ensure<br />

they did not leave valuables in<br />

their vehicles.<br />

FREEDOM CAMPING REPORT<br />

A report on whether further<br />

changes should be made to the<br />

Freedom Camping Bylaw will be<br />

presented to city councillors in<br />

September. City council head of<br />

strategic policy Helen Beaumont<br />

said once the report has been<br />

received, it would decide whether<br />

to make further changes to the<br />

bylaw, or retain the current rules.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council was forced to<br />

amend the rules in December<br />

after the city was inundated<br />

with freedom campers, resulting<br />

in overcrowding, unsanitary<br />

conditions and complaints.<br />

GREEN CENTRAL CANDIDATE<br />

<strong>The</strong> Green Party has selected<br />

lawyer Peter Richardson as its<br />

Christchurch Central candidate.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Mairehau resident, who is<br />

a partner at Linwood Law, will<br />

run against National MP Nicky<br />

Wagner and lawyer Duncan<br />

Webb, who is standing for Labour.<br />

Mr Richardson said he is deeply<br />

committed to protecting the city’s<br />

water, environment and families.<br />

<strong>The</strong> general election will be held on<br />

September 23.<br />

Cruel blow to sick teenager<br />

after bogus $1.5m pledge<br />

•From page 1<br />

<strong>The</strong> latest was yesterday<br />

morning when the woman said<br />

on Facebook Messenger she had<br />

arranged the bank transfer on<br />

Monday, but could not check it<br />

as she said she was on holiday in<br />

Dunedin.<br />

In the message she told Mrs<br />

Manson Collins: “A transfer did<br />

go out but not too sure where.<br />

“Sorry about this mucking<br />

around it would be stressful time<br />

for you all. Not just Maddie but<br />

the whole family.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> constant hope of the<br />

donation was cruel.<br />

“That could mean my<br />

daughter’s life,” said Mrs Manson<br />

Collins.<br />

She said the woman seemed<br />

genuine when she visited the<br />

house. She was aged in her 50s.<br />

She was completely bewildered<br />

about why the woman would do<br />

that to them, or what she was trying<br />

to achieve.<br />

<strong>The</strong> family are looking to get<br />

a kidney transplant at the John<br />

Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,<br />

as there is more chance of getting<br />

a donated kidney, and the treatment<br />

offered there would make<br />

it more likely Maddie’s body<br />

would accept it, even if it was not<br />

a perfect match. Maddie’s father,<br />

Adam Collins, donated one of his<br />

kidneys to her in <strong>20</strong>12, but her<br />

body rejected it.<br />

This year Maddie was told the<br />

daily dialysis treatment she is on<br />

has put so much strain on her<br />

heart, she was at risk of a heart<br />

attack. That made the need for a<br />

kidney transplant more urgent.<br />

Attempts by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> to contact<br />

the woman, whom we have<br />

decided not to name, have been<br />

futile.<br />

But a family member tracked<br />

down said she had been known to<br />

have “told some whoppers” in the<br />

past. He was unaware of the $42<br />

million inheritance.<br />

Seeing double: Facebook<br />

reacts to a Todd lookalike<br />

• By Gordon Findlater and<br />

Andrew King<br />

LOOK FAMILIAR? According<br />

to social media comments,<br />

Crusaders flanker Matt Todd<br />

could be the man police are<br />

looking to speak to about a car<br />

theft in Timaru.<br />

But it’s obviously not.<br />

Canterbury Police posted the<br />

picture of the Matt Todd lookalike<br />

on its Facebook page last<br />

week and since then a number<br />

of people have commented<br />

about the uncanny resemblance<br />

to the Crusader.<br />

“Unless Matt Todd has been<br />

stealing cars, I would suggest<br />

it is not him. He can probably<br />

afford his own cars,” said<br />

Inspector Dave Gaskin.<br />

<strong>The</strong> image on the left is<br />

surveillance footage taken from<br />

a Z Energy Station in Ashburton<br />

at 5am on <strong>July</strong> 12.<br />

<strong>The</strong> stolen Nissan Skyline was<br />

seen heading north and was<br />

involved in a petrol drive-off at<br />

about 5am from the station.<br />

<strong>The</strong> suspect’s choice of attire<br />

is perhaps a nod to his doppelganger’s<br />

somewhat shock omission<br />

from the All Blacks squad<br />

DOPPELGANGER: When Canterbury Police posted the image<br />

on the left to Facebook, the public immediately highlighted<br />

the suspect’s resemblance to Matt Todd.<br />

Red light runners in the frame<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

CAMERAS and video<br />

technology are being<br />

investigated to accurately count<br />

the number of red light runners<br />

in the city.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has hired a<br />

consultancy firm to look into<br />

ways to measure how bad the<br />

problem is.<br />

It would then use that<br />

information to decide how to<br />

combat it.<br />

In March, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> reported<br />

the city council was looking at<br />

altering the amber traffic signal<br />

by up to 1sec, and the “all-red”<br />

phase by between 0.5sec-1sec to<br />

curb the problem.<br />

But Christchurch Transport<br />

Operations Centre manager<br />

Ryan Cooney said more<br />

accurate data on red light<br />

runners was needed before any<br />

trials took place.<br />

He said they had considered<br />

measuring red light running<br />

using the underground traffic<br />

signal detection loops, doing<br />

manual counts, or with CCTV<br />

technology.<br />

Due to cost, accuracy and<br />

small sample sizes, they had discounted<br />

using manual counts or<br />

signal loops, he said.<br />

PROBLEM: <strong>The</strong> worst intersection for red light running last<br />

year was the corner of Blenheim Rd and Mandeville St.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

“We are now looking into use<br />

of video technology using either<br />

existing or new CCTV cameras<br />

along with video analytic software<br />

to count the number of red<br />

light runners across the city.”<br />

Mr Cooney said it was yet to<br />

be decided how long it would<br />

take to measure red light<br />

running, or when.<br />

<strong>The</strong> goal was to “accurately<br />

count” not enforce, he said.<br />

“Once we have a means to<br />

confidently count the number<br />

of red light runners across the<br />

city, we will move into trialling<br />

solutions to improve safety at<br />

intersections.”<br />

A red light running count<br />

carried out on one day last year<br />

using the data from the underground<br />

detection loops showed<br />

at the worst 13 intersections,<br />

6580 vehicles ran red lights.<br />

That increased from 3974 in<br />

<strong>20</strong>14 and 4960 in <strong>20</strong>15.<br />

<strong>The</strong> worst intersection last<br />

year was the corner of Blenheim<br />

Rd and Mandeville St.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are currently no red<br />

light cameras in the city, Mr<br />

Cooney said.<br />

Canterbury acting road<br />

policing manager Inspector<br />

BY THE NUMBERS<br />

<strong>The</strong> 10 worst intersections<br />

for red light runners last<br />

year:<br />

• 656 – Blenheim Rd/<br />

Mandeville St<br />

• 647 – Moorhouse Ave/<br />

intersections by year:<br />

<strong>20</strong>14: 3974 <strong>20</strong>15: 4960<br />

<strong>20</strong>16: 6580<br />

Leairne Dow said police had<br />

been consulted on the plan.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is a focus on safety<br />

at intersections and keeping<br />

people safe on the roads and<br />

police has provided their advice<br />

on these issues.”<br />

Traffic signals<br />

fail 10,000<br />

times in Chch<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

TRAFFIC SIGNALS across the city<br />

have failed nearly 10,000 times in the<br />

past year.<br />

Data released under the Local<br />

Government Information and Meetings<br />

Act showed signals had not functioned<br />

properly 9812 times, due to either a<br />

power failure or controller fault.<br />

<strong>The</strong> signals at the intersection<br />

of Brougham St, Garlands Rd and<br />

Opawa Rd failed the most in the last<br />

year – 26 times.<br />

That was followed by the<br />

Barbadoes and Salisbury Sts<br />

intersection with 23, and the corner<br />

of Barbadoes and Hereford Sts,<br />

which failed 22 times.<br />

Signals at the Brougham,<br />

Burlington and Gasson Sts<br />

intersection failed 14 times, while at<br />

Hornby’s Chalmers St, Goulding Ave<br />

and Main South Rd junction, they<br />

broke down 13 times.<br />

Curletts Rd and Main South Rd<br />

sat at 12, Avonhead, Middlepark<br />

and Yaldhurst Rds was 11, while<br />

the Carmen St, Main South Rd and<br />

Shands Rd junction was nine.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council said the highest<br />

fault count was due to power failure<br />

relating to Orion network issues.<br />

Progress on ‘dirty 30’<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

THEY’RE DIRTY and derelict<br />

– and now there’s no longer 30<br />

of them.<br />

Progress on the city’s “dirty<br />

30” list has been made, with<br />

eight buildings under “active<br />

improvement”.<br />

In May, the city council came<br />

up with a three-step approach<br />

to deal with derelict buildings,<br />

and put together a list of those<br />

hampering the central city’s<br />

regeneration.<br />

It included 30 buildings, plus<br />

the adjoined Duncan’s Buildings<br />

from 129-167 High St.<br />

Since then, the former Trinity<br />

Congregational Church and<br />

Shands Emporium have been<br />

removed because they were being<br />

actively restored.<br />

Eight of the buildings on<br />

the list are now actively being<br />

worked on, and the city council<br />

has had “positive dialogue” with<br />

owners of another eight of the<br />

buildings, who have given their<br />

commitment to action.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other 19 buildings,<br />

including the Christ Church<br />

Cathedral, remained problem<br />

sites.<br />

City councillor Jamie Gough<br />

said they were happy with the<br />

PROGRESS: <strong>The</strong> former Work and Income New Zealand<br />

building on High St (above) and Victoria St’s former Spagalimis<br />

building (right) are both now under “active improvement”.<br />

progress, but it was just the<br />

start.<br />

He said the next step was<br />

to expand the approach to<br />

include derelict residential<br />

buildings between the<br />

four avenues to get more<br />

people moving back into<br />

the central city.<br />

Eventually they would tackle<br />

derelict buildings in the suburbs,<br />

he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new list shows those<br />

under active improvement<br />

Jamie Gough<br />

included the former<br />

Scorpio Books building<br />

on Hereford St, former<br />

Work and Income building<br />

on High St, Lichfield St’s<br />

Lincoln House, the Public<br />

Trust Building, the old<br />

Spagalimis on Victoria St,<br />

and buildings on High St and<br />

Armagh St.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re had been positive<br />

dialogue or commitment to<br />

action about the former IRD<br />

building, two of the Sol Square<br />

buildings, Peterborough<br />

Apartments, Victoria Mansions,<br />

some of the Duncan’s Buildings,<br />

a partially empty site on High St<br />

and Harley Chambers.<br />

It was announced last week<br />

Harley Chambers, on the<br />

corner of Worcester Blvd and<br />

Cambridge Tce, would be<br />

replaced by a six-star hotel.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 19 buildings that<br />

remained problem sites<br />

included the former PWC<br />

building on Armagh St, the<br />

Old Post Office in Cathedral<br />

Sq, the city council’s Our City<br />

building, some of High St’s<br />

Duncan’s Buildings and the<br />

former 2 Fat Indians building<br />

on Manchester St.<br />

Cr Gough said while some<br />

building owners had been<br />

helpful, others had made no<br />

attempt to fix their sites.<br />

“We’ve given them a kick but<br />

now we need to put steel caps on.”<br />

$110k-plus<br />

for Lions<br />

Fanzone<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

THE FANZONE set up in the<br />

central city during the British and<br />

Irish Lions tour cost $116,511 to<br />

run.<br />

Christchurch NZ major events<br />

manager Richard Attwood said<br />

the city council put in $56,511,<br />

and $60,000 came from the<br />

Ministry of Business, Innovation<br />

and Employment’s Major Events<br />

Development Fund.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fanzone, set up in Poplar<br />

St, was operating from June 10<br />

and <strong>July</strong> 8 for the Crusaders<br />

match, and three tests against the<br />

All Blacks.<br />

It provided a place to watch the<br />

game, and had entertainment and<br />

food vendors.<br />

Mr Attwood said between<br />

3500-4000 fans came through.<br />

He said the technical aspect,<br />

such as screens, Sky, sound and<br />

power cost $58,532, while entertainment,<br />

such as the DJ, bands,<br />

face-painting and giveaways was<br />

$6350.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fence wrap was $5626,<br />

safety and comfort measures were<br />

$34,945, while other costs such<br />

as consents, labour and staff was<br />

$11,058, he said.<br />

Park history<br />

board<br />

too costly<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

A PLAN to install an information<br />

board at Little Hagley Park is in<br />

limbo after the discovery it would<br />

cost nearly $5000 for Ngai Tahu<br />

to provide the content.<br />

In <strong>20</strong>15, the Fendalton-<br />

Waimairi Community Board<br />

asked city council staff to look at<br />

the cost of an information panel,<br />

to record the history of the park<br />

and neighbouring Carlton Mill<br />

Bridge.<br />

But in March, city council<br />

staff said it would cost $4960 for<br />

Ngai Tahu’s consultancy firm,<br />

Matapopore, to confirm the content,<br />

design and images with the<br />

runanga, and another $<strong>20</strong>00 to<br />

build and install.<br />

Matapopore general manager<br />

Debbie Tikao said the $4960<br />

figure included the cost of hiring<br />

a Maori designer.<br />

“It wasn’t just providing the<br />

words, it was sourcing images and<br />

getting approvals and providing<br />

some Maori design work as well.”<br />

Board chairman David Cartwright<br />

said the board was still<br />

keen to do it.<br />

“It just needs a little more work<br />

and a few more conversations.”<br />

New safety barriers after serious<br />

But they<br />

won’t be<br />

finished until<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

NEW SAFETY barriers will be<br />

put up on Main Rd, Redcliffs,<br />

after two serious crashes within<br />

a year – one which claimed a<br />

life.<br />

near Shag Rock<br />

After Mrs Imrie’s death, Dr<br />

staff and police, and sought<br />

urgent action on both sites.<br />

While he was pleased to<br />

hear measures were being put<br />

Latham was<br />

disappointed<br />

at the lack of<br />

communication<br />

from the<br />

Dr Latham<br />

was unaware<br />

of the plans<br />

to install a Darrell<br />

new section of Latham<br />

“It would have been good<br />

if the community board<br />

was updated and advised<br />

accordingly. We haven’t had<br />

an update regarding the latest<br />

measures and that would have<br />

been nice.”<br />

Aaron Haymes, city council<br />

“We will then consider<br />

​LUCKY: <strong>The</strong> aftermath of Sunday’s serious crash on the Christchurch Akaroa Rd.<br />

Pair lucky to survive horror smash<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

TWO PEOPLE are lucky to be<br />

alive after a horror smash saw<br />

their vehicle leave the road and<br />

end up in a nearby property<br />

early on Sunday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> vehicle the man and<br />

woman were in smashed<br />

through a wooden power pole<br />

and a tree before flying over a<br />

2m wall, narrowly missing a<br />

house in Robinsons Bay about<br />

midnight.<br />

Residents who heard the crash<br />

raced to the scene and found<br />

the vehicle in a neighbouring<br />

property after leaving the<br />

Christchurch Akaroa Rd.<br />

Akaroa Senior Constable<br />

Anita Osborne said she could<br />

not believe how lucky the two<br />

occupants were when she first<br />

arrived.<br />

“If you looked at the scene you<br />

wouldn’t think anyone could<br />

have survived,” she said.<br />

Emergency services arrived<br />

and firefighters cut free a<br />

27-year-old woman who was<br />

then airlifted to Christchurch<br />

Hospital with head injuries.<br />

<strong>The</strong> driver, who suffered a<br />

broken back and ribs, was taken<br />

to hospital by ambulance.<br />

<strong>The</strong> power pole was snapped<br />

off at the base and found in the<br />

paddock a number of metres<br />

away, while debris from the<br />

tree was littered around the<br />

property – there was a big piece<br />

of wood protruding from the<br />

windscreen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman involved in<br />

the crash said she could not<br />

remember anything about<br />

the crash or the ride in the<br />

helicopter.<br />

That was probably a good<br />

thing, she said.<br />

Trampoline<br />

stolen to<br />

‘feed kids’<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

A MAN was caught allegedly<br />

stealing a trampoline in Halswell<br />

to sell for scrap metal to feed his<br />

children.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 26-year-old appeared in the<br />

district court yesterday charged<br />

with burglary and was remanded<br />

on bail to reappear on August 10.<br />

Senior Sergeant Stephan<br />

McDaniel said when questioned<br />

by police the man said he was<br />

“grabbing it [the trampoline] for<br />

scrap metal to feed his kids”.<br />

It’s alleged the offender was<br />

seen at a property on Cashmere<br />

Rd at about 2pm on Tuesday by<br />

Community Watch Christchurch<br />

South as they went past to patrol a<br />

nearby subdivision.<br />

When the patrol came back the<br />

owner of the property was speaking<br />

with the man so they pulled<br />

over behind his vehicle.<br />

He had the deconstructed<br />

trampoline and other items in the<br />

back of his vehicle.<br />

Police were called to the scene<br />

and the 26-year-old was arrested<br />

for the alleged burglary.<br />

Senior Sergeant McDaniel<br />

said it was a good catch for the<br />

community patrol.<br />

LOYAL: Fans will descend on the city this weekend for the quarter-final<br />

between the Highlanders and Crusaders.<br />

Southern rugby army<br />

about to invade city<br />

A MOBILE army of blue and gold<br />

supporters is set to descend on<br />

Christchurch this weekend.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Landers Army, made up of loyal<br />

Highlanders supporters, is organising<br />

a convoy for those heading to the Super<br />

Rugby quarter-final on Saturday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Highlanders will take on the<br />

Crusaders at AMI Stadium at 7.30pm.<br />

<strong>The</strong> convoy will leave Dunedin’s<br />

Forsyth Barr Stadium at 10.30am that<br />

morning, with plans to gather at Speight’s<br />

Ale House at Tower Junction before the<br />

match.<br />

Highlanders coach Tony Brown is the<br />

theme of the trip, with fans encouraged to<br />

wear tweed jackets and hats, and blue and<br />

Burger Fuel<br />

parking fine<br />

gimmick<br />

catches<br />

some out<br />

AT FIRST glance, it looks like a parking<br />

ticket, but when you take a second look,<br />

it’s something much better.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tickets are being handed out on<br />

vehicles in Christchurch for “failing to<br />

display a sufficiently satisfied stomach”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ticket, issued by Burger Fuel City<br />

Council, entitles the user to a serving of<br />

free fries and aioli “anytime, as long as<br />

we’re open”.<br />

Aaron Gardiner shared the image<br />

on Facebook, and said: “This is quite<br />

clever... Burger Fuel is giving out parking<br />

ticket style vouchers.”<br />

But not everyone has been impressed<br />

with the Burger Fuel promotion.<br />

“A few years ago, I got one of these<br />

and only saw it when I started driving,<br />

I thought I had a ticket and went on a<br />

rant the whole ride home,” wrote Gary<br />

Dooley on Facebook.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Highlanders and Crusaders last met<br />

in a friendly match in Timaru on <strong>July</strong> 6,<br />

where the Highlanders won 33-12.<br />

Prior to that, the Crusaders came out<br />

victorious after Mitch Hunt nailed a drop<br />

goal in the 83rd minute of their June 3<br />

round robin clash to win 25-22.<br />

As of yesterday afternoon, tickets were<br />

still available for Saturday’s match.<br />

A RETIREMENT village being built in<br />

Addington will have a public cafe, creche,<br />

community centre, health hub and even<br />

animals.<br />

Park Lane Retirement Village will<br />

feature Living Well – a new concept<br />

designed to create community<br />

connections and empower retirees.<br />

Arvida Group chief executive Bill<br />

McDonald said Living Well would be a<br />

public community precinct.<br />

“Living Well Park Lane will include<br />

a community centre for both the public<br />

and residents, complete with a café<br />

that sources produce from the village’s<br />

communal gardens, a community crèche,<br />

a health club and animals including<br />

THE CASE of missing man<br />

Michael McGrath will appear on<br />

the television crime show Police<br />

Ten 7.<br />

It will screen today – almost<br />

two months to the day since the<br />

builder was last seen on May 21.<br />

Detective Inspector Darryl<br />

Sweeney, who heads the<br />

investigation called Operation<br />

Renovation, said Mr McGrath’s<br />

family were “desperate” for answers.<br />

“Michael’s disappearance is completely<br />

out of character,” he said.<br />

A phone line has been set up for the<br />

operation, 0800 346 364, with the hopes<br />

people may call in with information after<br />

tonight’s episode.<br />

“We’d encourage people to watch the<br />

chickens and lambs. Traditionally<br />

retirement villages are a gated community<br />

– here the community is warmly<br />

welcomed to be part of life at Park Lane.”<br />

Mr McDonald said Christchurch was<br />

the perfect place to launch Living Well<br />

because of the innovative developments<br />

happening with the rebuild.<br />

He hoped to roll it out across other<br />

Arvida retirement villages, he said.<br />

Park Lane would use solar energy to<br />

power the main buildings, and would also<br />

offer electric cars for residents to use.<br />

Apartments at the new Park Lane<br />

Retirement Village go on sale today, with<br />

the majority expected to be completed<br />

and ready for tenants in March.<br />

Missing man’s case on TV<br />

touch with any information they<br />

may have – no matter how small<br />

or insignificant they think it<br />

might be. All calls will be treated<br />

in confidence by the Operation<br />

Renovation team,” Detective<br />

Inspector Sweeney said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> search for Mr McGrath included<br />

police dive squads looking<br />

in bodies of water in the Halswell<br />

area and a team scouring Kate Valley<br />

Landfill in Hurunui.<br />

<strong>The</strong> home of Christchurch Men’s<br />

Prison correction officer David Benbow’s<br />

was also searched.<br />

<strong>The</strong> episode of Police Ten 7 will be aired<br />

on TV2 at 7.30pm today, as well as TV2+1<br />

at 8.30pm.

Pay by plate system soon<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

GONE ARE the days of pay<br />

and display.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council is upgrading<br />

its 228 parking meters to a new<br />

system which would prevent<br />

the need to print out a ticket,<br />

return to your vehicle and put<br />

it on your dashboard.<br />

Instead, the new pay by plate<br />

system would see motorists<br />

type their licence plate number<br />

into the machine, choose the<br />

time they would like to stay, before<br />

paying and walking away.<br />

Parking wardens will then<br />

be able to use the data to check<br />

it against the licence plates of<br />

parked vehicles.<br />

City council transport operations<br />

manager Aaron Haymes<br />

said the upgrade would begin<br />

in October, and would take<br />

about four to six weeks.<br />

He said it would cost $900,000,<br />

but would save $50,000 annually<br />

in operation costs.<br />

“Of significance, eliminating<br />

paper tapes saves 1.5 million<br />

paper tickets or 800kg of paper<br />

annually from entering the<br />

Christchurch waste stream and<br />

littering city streets.”<br />

Mr Haymes said currently,<br />

the city council had 228 parking<br />

metres servicing 2292 pay<br />

and display spaces, and another<br />

31 machines in stock.<br />

All of them are about 10<br />

years old and need to be upgraded<br />

to meet international<br />

security standards, he said.<br />

While the main structure<br />

would remain the same, the<br />

front panel and terminal component<br />

would be replaced.<br />

He said last year, the city<br />

council collected $4.9 million<br />

in revenue through on-street<br />

parking machines.<br />

“Customers will be able to<br />

pay by credit card including<br />

the no-contact method and<br />

will still be able to pay with<br />

coins and use the text-to-park<br />

option.”<br />

Hamish Kember, who uses<br />

the parking meters, said the<br />

new system would be a lot<br />

more convenient for motorists<br />

END OF AN ERA:<br />

Hamish Kember uses<br />

a city council parking<br />

meter to get his pay<br />

and display ticket –<br />

something that will<br />

be a thing of the past<br />

not having to place the ticket<br />

on the dashboard.<br />

“It’s always a pain having to<br />

go to and from.”<br />

Auckland and Tauranga<br />

councils were in the process of<br />

upgrading their meters to the<br />

same system.<br />

Mr Haymes said while the<br />

machines were upgraded, the<br />

city council would have extra<br />

staff out on the streets to help<br />

people learn to use them.<br />

Sewage testing<br />

shows less<br />

meth users<br />

• By Gabrielle Stuart<br />

POLICE BELIEVE drug-takers in<br />

Christchurch may be using less meth<br />

and more synthetic cannabis after<br />

testing the city’s sewage.<br />

Christchurch’s wastewater networks<br />

were tested for drugs between December<br />

to February as part of a police<br />

study. <strong>The</strong> testing found between 458g<br />

and 798g of methamphetamine was<br />

being used in the city each week.<br />

Christchurch Intelligence district<br />

manager Trevor Dickinson-Mclachlan<br />

said that was less than police expected<br />

to find based on the amount of meth<br />

use they had seen or had reported.<br />

He said the symptoms of meth addiction<br />

were similar to some synthetic<br />

cannabis addictions, so believed they<br />

could have been mis-reported. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

could not test for synthetic cannabis<br />

in the study, because the chemicals<br />

used in different batches were so different,<br />

he said.<br />

“I would suspect it could be as big or<br />

bigger than meth use here,” he said.<br />

Police were also surprised by the<br />

amount of ecstasy found in the study<br />

– between 1<strong>20</strong>g and 261g per week.<br />

He said that could be because users<br />

tended to stay “under the radar” unless<br />

they overdosed or had complications.<br />

For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements<br />

<strong>The</strong> Blind Care Company has been<br />

cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />

for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />

have seen changes in both fashion and<br />

technology. Styles have ranged from<br />

festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />

and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />

from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />

and in every colour or pattern popular<br />

since the 1960s.<br />

Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />

Company has the expertise to keep your<br />

window treatments looking fresh and<br />

working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />

chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />

dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />

can be removed so that your blinds<br />

smell fresh and are restored to their<br />

original glory. <strong>The</strong> company can repair<br />

blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />

in stock. And if you want something<br />

completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />

available for purchase.<br />

<strong>The</strong> company prides itself on efficient<br />

service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />

with most work taking one or two<br />

days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />

available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />

for clients. <strong>The</strong> Cashel Street location<br />

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />

and drop-off service is available. 150<br />

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />

** <strong>The</strong> Best Clean and Shine EVERY TIME **<br />

or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />

50 per day. That means they will come to<br />

your home or office, remove and clean<br />

your blinds on the spot and reinstall them<br />

for you.<br />

A cut-down and size alteration service<br />

is available in order that the blinds you<br />

bought are a perfect fit.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are experts in their field with a<br />

huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />

In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />

for at least 8 years, and many up to <strong>20</strong><br />

years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />

Man assaulted<br />

at boy racer<br />

meet needs<br />

surgery<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

Thursday <strong>July</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>17<br />

A MAN needs a steel plate put in<br />

his head after he was assaulted at<br />

a boy racer meet near McLean’s<br />

Island on Sunday morning.<br />

He and his cousin, who is 23<br />

weeks pregnant, had gone to<br />

find some friends at about 3am<br />

on Pound Rd, but when they<br />

arrived they were immediately<br />

involved in an altercation.<br />

A family member of the<br />

assaulted man told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> that<br />

he was attacked by an offender<br />

wearing “knuckle dusters” who<br />

also smashed out windows in his<br />

cousin’s car.<br />

He and his cousin had driven<br />

in separate vehicles to the meet.<br />

She fled and hid in her vehicle<br />

when the assault took place.<br />

<strong>The</strong> victim’s eye socket is<br />

so badly damaged, he needs<br />

surgery to put a steel plate in.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y will never go cruising<br />

again. I hope my nephew will be<br />

okay,” the family member said.<br />

Police have confirmed they<br />

have received a complaint about<br />

the assault and are following<br />

“strong lines of inquiry”.<br />

Sir Graham linked to another trophy<br />

HE COACHED the All Blacks to<br />

their second World Cup victory,<br />

and now a trophy in his name<br />

will be up for grabs at next year’s<br />

Golden Oldies World Rugby<br />

Festival.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sir Graham Henry Trophy<br />

will be contested in the newlycreated<br />

president’s grade division<br />

of the festival.<br />

<strong>The</strong> festival will be held in<br />

Christchurch in April, as part of<br />

the Christchurch Casino Golden<br />

Oldies Sports Celebration <strong>20</strong>18.<br />

Event organiser Peter<br />

McDermott said it was<br />

appropriate one of New<br />

Zealand’s legendary rugby<br />

names will be on the trophy<br />

awarded to the winner of the<br />

new division.<br />

“Rugby was the first ever<br />

Golden Oldies sport dating back<br />

to 1979, and we are excited to<br />

be able to now cater for players<br />

who want to add a competitive<br />

element on-field while still<br />

enjoying the off-field social<br />

aspect, which is what Golden<br />

Oldies sport is all about.”<br />

Sir Graham said Golden<br />

Oldies rugby brought likeminded<br />

people together to<br />

share a sense of camaraderie<br />

with fellow rugby players from<br />

around the world.<br />

He said it was an honour to<br />

have his name on a trophy that<br />

represents those old traditions.<br />

“For me personally, it is also<br />

an honour to have the trophy<br />

awarded for the first time<br />

in my hometown where my<br />

rugby playing days began as a<br />

schoolboy.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> new president’s grade<br />

division will be played under<br />

the full World Rugby laws and is<br />

expected to attract a new group<br />

of players to the popular Golden<br />

Oldies rugby programme.<br />

Rugby is expected to be the<br />

largest sport at next year’s event<br />

with more than 110 teams<br />

entered so far from across the<br />

world. <strong>The</strong> Golden Oldies World<br />

Rugby Festival will be played<br />

from April 22-29 at Hagley Park.<br />

It is one of 10 sports which<br />

make up the month-long<br />

Christchurch Casino Golden<br />

Oldies Sports Celebration <strong>20</strong>18.<br />

<strong>The</strong> event is expected to bring<br />

about 10,000 people to the city.<br />

Teen to hike barefoot<br />

for kids with no shoes<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

WALKING the 78km of the<br />

Heaphy Track is no mean feat.<br />

But what about walking it<br />

bare feet?<br />

Teenager Bo Hofmans<br />

(right) plans to do just that in<br />

an effort to raise money for<br />

disadvantaged children who<br />

don’t have shoes to wear to<br />

school.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 15-year-old Cashmere<br />

High School student has been<br />

walking the gravelly Rapaki<br />

Track to prepare for his<br />

barefoot hike in October.<br />

“I was thinking doing<br />

[the walk] barefoot might<br />

be a good idea just as an<br />

experience, and then my mate<br />

mentioned ‘why don’t you do<br />

it for a charity?’”<br />

Bo did some research and<br />

found out KidsCan had a<br />

“Shoes for Kids” programme<br />

that had seen 128,000 pairs<br />

of shoes donated to underprivileged<br />

children who went<br />

to school barefoot.<br />

Bo said he would soon start<br />

carrying a 15kg pack and rub<br />

methylated spirits on his feet<br />

to prepare for the Heaphy<br />

Track.<br />

“I’m hoping for a nice inch<br />

of callouses,” he said.<br />

“It would be great if I<br />

didn’t feel anything while I’m<br />

walking.”<br />

Bo has set up a Givealittle<br />

page called Barefoot for<br />

KidsCan, and hopes to raise<br />

about $15,000 before his hike<br />

on October 9.<br />

Quake, medical innovations<br />

reward varsity researcher<br />

A CANTERBURY researcher<br />

has received a national innovator<br />

award for his work, which<br />

has been used both to protect<br />

buildings from earthquakes<br />

and to improve patient hip<br />

replacements.<br />

Dr Geoff Rodgers, a mechanical<br />

engineer at Canterbury University,<br />

took the Norman FB Barry<br />

Foundation Emerging Innovator<br />

Award at the recent KiwiNet<br />

Research Commercialisation<br />

Awards.<br />

Mechanical seismic dampers<br />

he developed to dissipate<br />

kinetic energy of seismic waves<br />

penetrating a building structure<br />

are in use in a low-damage<br />

hospital complex in Christchurch.<br />

Dr Rodgers was also developing<br />

a new method for early detection<br />

of wear and tear of hip joint implants<br />

that monitored the sound<br />

vibrations transmitted from a patient’s<br />

hip replacement implants.<br />

<strong>The</strong> acoustic emission monitoring<br />

system was a non-invasive<br />

sensing technique that recorded<br />

low-level vibrations emitted from<br />

the implant during patient motion<br />

that make it through tissue to the<br />

skin’s surface.<br />

By listening to the ultrasonic<br />

INNOVATIVE: Canterbury University’s Dr Geoff Rodgers with<br />

mechanical seismic dampers.<br />

vibrations of the implant, it was<br />

possible to relate them to the<br />

condition of the implant, to help<br />

orthopaedic surgeons predict<br />

impending failures and manage<br />

revision surgery.<br />

Early detection of wear and tear<br />

could offer opportunities for proactive<br />

intervention, reducing the<br />

severity of surgery and providing<br />

improved patient outcomes.<br />

Intel work vital for crime prevention<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> continues<br />

its series on the work<br />

police in Canterbury<br />

are doing on crime<br />

prevention, heading off<br />

trouble before it starts.<br />

Gabrielle Stuart reports<br />

on the police intel unit<br />

THE PROBLEM with writing<br />

about police intelligence is that<br />

people working in intelligence<br />

don’t like to talk about what<br />

they do.<br />

When they heard a journalist<br />

was due to arrive last week,<br />

many in the Christchurch intel<br />

team made themselves scarce.<br />

Christchurch intelligence<br />

district manager Trevor<br />

Dickinson-Mclachlan said it<br />

was nothing personal: Most of<br />

his team liked to stay out of the<br />

spotlight.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir job is to monitor, watch,<br />

and report. To stay in the<br />

background.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir greatest victories are<br />

when criminals are stopped<br />

or crimes are prevented before<br />

anything happens – and nothing<br />

happening doesn’t make a very<br />

good story.<br />

Often the public won’t hear<br />

anything about what they do,<br />

unless something goes wrong.<br />

Yet they do a huge amount.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury team is<br />

about 30-strong, and deeply<br />

involved in all kinds of policing<br />

work from preventing drug<br />

crime to keeping people safe at<br />

community events.<br />

<strong>The</strong> majority of them are<br />

civilian, non-sworn staff, from<br />

all kinds of backgrounds – from<br />

people trained in the army<br />

to data analysts fresh from<br />

university.<br />

When I ask Mr Dickinson-<br />

Mclachlan about his own<br />

background, he says that’s tricky<br />

to answer.<br />

He has been a non-sworn<br />

officer for Auckland and<br />

Canterbury police for about 16<br />

something worthwhile. Her latest project is around<br />

years and has spent his career in<br />

intelligence. But aside from mentioning<br />

a stint working with the<br />

army, he can’t tell me the details<br />

of who he has worked for.<br />

He can talk about why he<br />

chose to work in the field, and he<br />

is quietly passionate as he talks<br />

about it.<br />

When he started with the<br />

police, intelligence was known,<br />

slightly disparagingly, as “the<br />

news and the weather” – seen as<br />

somewhat removed from frontline<br />

policing work, he said.<br />

But looking ahead was vital to<br />

preventing crime, he said.<br />

“Years ago, staff came into the<br />

station and got their keys and<br />

drove out, and it was effectively<br />

up to them where they headed.”<br />

How intel works in the field<br />

LATE LAST year, a<br />

Christchurch analyst noticed<br />

something strange.<br />

In several recent crimes, the<br />

stolen getaway vehicle used had<br />

been a Mazda Demio – traditionally<br />

seen as a “nana car”<br />

and definitely not known for its<br />

speed.<br />

Until <strong>20</strong>15, the number of<br />

Demios stolen had been in the<br />

single figures. But, in the 12<br />

months between February <strong>20</strong>16<br />

and February this year, 55 had<br />

been stolen.<br />

Many of the thieves were<br />

young – 17 or younger.<br />

Intelligence analyst Olivia<br />

By using intelligence information<br />

to assess where and at what<br />

times crime was most likely to<br />

happen, patrols were much more<br />

effective, he said.<br />

On Friday and Saturday<br />

nights, they saw people walking<br />

between bars on Victoria St<br />

and on St Asaph St, and taking<br />

shortcuts through empty car<br />

parks and construction sites.<br />

Those areas were often dark<br />

and quite isolated. But they<br />

were also open, so by patrolling<br />

regularly there, police could see<br />

what was going on and make<br />

sure people were safe.<br />

As the city was being rebuilt,<br />

they could see potential problems<br />

and work to prevent them.<br />

He said crime had been “virtually<br />

eliminated” at the central<br />

city Bus Interchange through<br />

good design: Eliminating dark<br />

corners, spreading waiting areas<br />

out, and using architectural<br />

tricks like high and low ceilings<br />

to psychologically guide people<br />

out into open spaces.<br />

Unregistered or unwarranted<br />

cars in the eastern suburbs<br />

was another problem they saw<br />

regularly.<br />

“I could send people out to issue<br />

tickets to people with no warrants<br />

or driver’s licences. Would<br />

it work? Yes, we’d issue lots of<br />

tickets. But would it be effective?<br />

No, probably not: It would be<br />

just another ticket they couldn’t<br />

afford to pay,” he said.<br />

By helping people get into<br />

driver training, get drug or alcohol<br />

addiction help, or get a job,<br />

the root cause of many problems<br />

could be solved, he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y also regularly did undercover<br />

work.<br />

Plain-clothes officers from his<br />

team had been planted in the<br />

crowd during World Cup cricket<br />

matches at Hagley Oval, and had<br />

been able to catch several people<br />

involved in illegal overseas<br />

betting rings – as well as the odd<br />

streaker.<br />

For something more routine,<br />

Cleaver said that may have<br />

been because they were seen<br />

as an easy target, without<br />

the immobilisers or security<br />

features of newer vehicles.<br />

She said they had also been<br />

featured in the video game,<br />

Grand <strong>The</strong>ft Auto, which could<br />

mean they were perceived as<br />

“cool nana cars”.<br />

Once they identified the<br />

problem, police could work to<br />

prevent it. <strong>The</strong>y helped owners<br />

of Demios find ways to make<br />

them more secure, warned<br />

other agencies about it, and<br />

looked out for any being driven<br />

suspiciously.<br />

like a burglary, his team were<br />

often asked for help.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y kept lists of potential<br />

suspects who had been through<br />

the court system or were known<br />

to be in the area, and could<br />

quickly come up with a list of<br />

doors to knock on if a crime had<br />

happened.<br />

People from his team also<br />

regularly spent time scanning<br />

public social media and sites<br />

online, looking for stolen goods<br />

or anything suspicious.<br />

Mr Dickinson-Mclachlan said<br />

big data and technology was<br />

quickly changing the way that<br />

worked.<br />

Programmes were being<br />

developed which were able to do<br />

that online scanning for them,<br />

and ping anything potentially<br />

suspicious.<br />

As the number of cameras<br />

in the city grew, they were also<br />

becoming a more useful tool.<br />

But he believed the most<br />

important part of the job would<br />

always stay the same: Preventing<br />

crimes, and doing everything<br />

possible behind the scenes to<br />

keep people safe.<br />

“I almost take it personally.<br />

For every victim of a burglary,<br />

I think how did we fail here?”<br />

he said.<br />

Police prepped for everything and anything during Lions tour<br />

THREE MONTHS before<br />

any Lions fans arrived in<br />

Christchurch for the Crusaders v<br />

Lions match, police had already<br />

mapped out everything that<br />

could go wrong.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y detailed potential<br />

problems – like extra tourists<br />

and campervan convoys<br />

travelling on the damaged<br />

roads between Picton and<br />

Christchurch, alcohol-related<br />

problems around the stadium or<br />

fan zones, and the increased risk<br />

of vehicle break-ins as tourists<br />

were seen as “an easy target”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> impact of anything<br />

going wrong could be serious,<br />

intelligence district manager<br />

Trevor Dickinson-Mclachlan<br />

said.<br />

“If you had one Lions fan<br />

killed in a fatality on our roads,<br />

it would go around the world,<br />

and you think about the impact<br />

it could have on New Zealand’s<br />

reputation,” he said.<br />

So they detailed ways to<br />

prevent problems before they<br />

happened.<br />

For potential problems on the<br />

roads, they worked with the NZ<br />

Transport Agency to have extra<br />

signage put up between Picton<br />

and Christchurch, worked<br />

with Lions tour operators and<br />

rental car companies to get<br />

ON TOP OF<br />

IT: Police<br />

were well<br />

prepared<br />

for the<br />

Lions tour in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

information out to drivers, and<br />

posted extra police on the roads<br />

that week.<br />

In the end, there was only<br />

one serious incident – a family<br />

of Lions fans who had their<br />

campervan broken into and<br />

valuables stolen, including their<br />

tickets and passports.<br />

It was impossible to say if<br />

more might have gone wrong if<br />

they hadn’t been prepared, Mr<br />

Dickinson-Mclachlan said.<br />

But it did mean they had<br />

everything on hand to help the<br />

family of Lions fans, including<br />

after-hours numbers they called<br />

to get the family new tickets<br />

to the match and replace their<br />

stolen documents.

CDHB ‘hatchet job’<br />

THE SILENCE has<br />

been deafening. Not a<br />

strong word written,<br />

let alone a murmur<br />

on the airwaves, or<br />

even a squeak on<br />

social media.<br />

After last week’s Treasury<br />

report slamming our<br />

Canterbury District Heath<br />

Board, not one local National<br />

Party member of parliament has<br />

stood up to defend them or the<br />

remarkable men and women<br />

who are struggling to meet our<br />

health needs in the region.<br />

Senior Canterbury doctors<br />

have labelled the report a<br />

“Pearl Harbour-style attack”,<br />

David Clark, Labour’s health<br />

spokesman has called it a<br />

“hatchet job”. All we have seen<br />

from Government-elected<br />

members is a failure to stand up<br />

for us. It is a failure of leadership.<br />

<strong>The</strong> report claimed that the<br />

CDHB was using tactics to<br />

leverage more public funds. It<br />

completely ignored the reality of<br />

the ongoing health fallouts from<br />

the Canterbury earthquakes and<br />

the lack of funding to support<br />

their population.<br />

<strong>The</strong> National Government has<br />

treated our health system as if<br />

it was business as usual when it<br />

SINCE THE first big quake<br />

in <strong>20</strong>10, the Government has<br />

invested more than $14 billion<br />

in the rebuild and recovery<br />

of Christchurch and greater<br />

Canterbury.<br />

Today, Canterbury’s<br />

population has topped its<br />

pre-earthquake numbers, the<br />

economy is growing faster<br />

than in many other parts of the<br />

country and its unemployment<br />

rate is below the national<br />

average. Even so, we still<br />

have work to do to ensure we<br />

continue to grow and thrive.<br />

That’s why, late last month, the<br />

Government launched an action<br />

plan to drive economic growth.<br />

comes to funding, when we can<br />

all plainly see around us that,<br />

when it comes to health, it is far<br />

from business as usual down<br />

here. Our pleas to Wellington<br />

have been ignored. <strong>The</strong> Ministry<br />

of Health simply will not listen.<br />

And Nicky Wagner, as minister<br />

supporting greater Christchurch<br />

regeneration and associate<br />

minister of health, has failed<br />

to make our case. Rather than<br />

silence, the minister should have<br />

been shouting from the rooftops<br />

about our un-met health needs<br />

and the need for assistance.<br />

I think the CDHB has been<br />

a star performer over the last<br />

seven years. Dedicated and<br />

exceptional men and women<br />

have continued to care for us<br />

through the most trying of<br />

conditions. As Cantabrians, we<br />

need to get in behind our board<br />

and all the health professionals<br />

who are working for us and<br />

defend them against this<br />

“hatchet job”.<br />

•Megan Woods is Labour’s<br />

Canterbury spokeswoman<br />

Strategy aims to build on post-quake economic growth<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Regional<br />

Economic Development<br />

Strategy includes a series of<br />

targeted initiatives to increase<br />

jobs, income and investment<br />

throughout the region.<br />

As rebuild activity levels off,<br />

the strategy sets challenging<br />

targets to promote regional<br />

transport planning and<br />

Canterbury Police<br />

have issued a warning to<br />

its Facebook followers<br />

that bullying will not be<br />

tolerated on its page<br />

Nicky Wagner<br />

Emajane Harwood – All<br />

the people saying it’s silly because<br />

they’re criminals are obviously<br />

forgetting that cyber-bullying<br />

is also an offence, punishable<br />

by the law. Whether or not they<br />

deserve it is irrelevant. Who<br />

knows, if they continue they may<br />

just end up on a wanted list.<br />

Donald Wright – So if<br />

someone has a misspelled word<br />

tattooed across their forehead we<br />

can’t question their life choices?<br />

Jamie Rapsey – Maybe a bit<br />

of shame would make some of<br />

those think twice about ending<br />

up on a wanted list.<br />

Hamish Middleton – It’s<br />

infrastructure, improve digital<br />

connectivity, manage the region’s<br />

fresh waterways and provide<br />

support around education,<br />

immigration, production and<br />

tourism.<br />

Two of these seven priority<br />

areas are particularly close to my<br />

heart – education and training<br />

for a skilled workforce, and<br />

REUNITED: Ron Mackie and Joe Sullivan caught up at the<br />

America’s Cup victory parade last week.<br />

the modern day version of a sign<br />

around the neck of a criminal.<br />

<strong>The</strong> difference is the ‘sign’ is<br />

removed when the person hands<br />

themselves in.<br />

Helen Smith – Good. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

is going to be more of this and<br />

they cannot get away with it.<br />

People mention mental health?<br />

Stopping this at the source will<br />

help.<br />

Emirates Team New<br />

Zealand cyclist Joe Sullivan<br />

was reunited with his<br />

childhood sailing coach,<br />

Ron Mackie, at last week’s<br />

victory parade<br />

tourism.<br />

In the past year, 16,500 jobs<br />

were created in Canterbury. To<br />

keep that momentum going, the<br />

strategy includes $170,000 to<br />

connect secondary students with<br />

businesses that can transition<br />

them into further education,<br />

employment or training.<br />

We need to keep our young<br />

people in the region and ensure<br />

they have the knowledge and<br />

skills to get ahead. This not only<br />

benefits the individual, but the<br />

whole community.<br />

Data shows greater<br />

Christchurch is back on the<br />

itinerary for many international<br />

visitors but, overall, tourism has<br />

PHOTO:<br />

MARTIN<br />

HUNTER<br />

Aaron Krahagen – Well<br />

done Ron, you have been an<br />

exceptional coach and role<br />

model at the Waimakariri<br />

Sailing and Power Boat Club<br />

and brought many great<br />

memories to many young<br />

sailors.<br />

Jacqui Hutchinson –<br />

Oh, Mr Mackie, I remember<br />

you at Rangiora High School.<br />

You were always so kind<br />

and encouraging way back then,<br />

too.<br />

Michelle Maiava – Ron<br />

Mackie is a legend.<br />

not yet reached pre-quake levels.<br />

Funding of $160,000 – on top of<br />

the $2 million awarded through<br />

a regional tourism facilities grant<br />

– will help grow a sustainable<br />

industry and ensure Canterbury<br />

becomes the gateway to the<br />

south.<br />

This strategy is all about<br />

enabling Christchurch<br />

and greater Canterbury to<br />

leverage recovery and rebuild<br />

opportunities, and drive<br />

economic growth into the<br />

regeneration phase.<br />

Pot Sticker was born.<br />

After eating their way around China – one<br />

dumpling at a time – they found their very<br />

own dumpling masters who could bring<br />

generations of secret recipes back to New<br />

the dumplings every morning, preparing<br />

on Tuesday this week, the city council<br />

became the first organisation in New<br />

Zealand to be awarded the Energy-Mark<br />

Gold certification.<br />

This is the highest level of certification<br />

and demonstrates a real commitment to<br />

energy management.<br />

Our civic office is among the greenest<br />

office buildings in New Zealand and<br />

we want other community facilities<br />

to be based on the same sustainability<br />

principles.<br />

We have implemented a resource<br />

efficiency and greenhouse gas emission<br />

management programme for our<br />

activities, which not only includes<br />

management of energy use and<br />

greenhouse gas emissions, but also<br />

management of solid waste generation<br />

and water use.<br />

We offer free sustainability advisory<br />

services and incentives to businesses and<br />

to homeowners to improve water and<br />

energy efficiencies.<br />

We have also gained the certified<br />

emissions measurement and<br />

reduction scheme certification. This<br />

ensures accurate measurement of the<br />

organisation’s carbon footprint and<br />

having a strategy in place for managing<br />

and reducing its emissions.<br />

So why is this important?<br />

In my view, cities have to lead the way<br />

and Governments need to meet their<br />

commitments under the Paris Agreement,<br />

the fulfilment of which is critical to the<br />

future of the planet.<br />

It’s the ‘think globally, act locally’<br />

principle in action.<br />

Christchurch has been asked to join the<br />

Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate<br />

and Energy. Before we do that, I want our<br />

commitment to be real. Signing up isn’t<br />

enough – it’s actually making it happen<br />

that will make a difference. <strong>The</strong> city<br />

council can show leadership, but we need<br />

businesses and communities to do so too.<br />

Our target sustainability business<br />

services is a good example of the city<br />

council’s efforts to help Christchurch<br />

businesses with their resource efficiency<br />

and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> former president of the United<br />

States made a statement that really<br />

resonated with me when he said we could<br />

not “condemn our children to a planet<br />

beyond their capacity to repair”.<br />

I hope our efforts in Christchurch<br />

contribute to ensuring that doesn’t<br />

happen.<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

CHICKEN BREAST WITH<br />

MUSHROOM STUFFING<br />

AND MARSALA GLAZE<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 Garlic clove<br />

1 Shallot, or small onion, diced<br />

15g Butter<br />

50g White Button mushrooms<br />

2 slices Bread, stale and diced<br />

1 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped<br />

1 Lemon, zest<br />

2 Chicken breasts<br />

1 Tbsp Oil<br />

3 Tbsp Marsala, or sherry<br />

2 Tbsp Cream<br />

Directions<br />

Stuffing<br />

In a small frying pan, fry the<br />

garlic and shallot in the butter<br />

until translucent. Add the mushrooms<br />

and fry for 2-3min until<br />

cooked. Add the breadcrumbs,<br />

cooking until the butter has<br />

been absorbed.<br />

Take off the heat, add the parsley<br />

and lemon zest and season<br />

with salt and freshly ground<br />

black pepper.<br />

To cook the chicken<br />

Heat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />

Stuff the chicken breast by lifting<br />

the tenderloin up (if there is no<br />

tenderloin, ignore this). Press<br />

half of the stuffing on to the<br />

breast meat. Cover the stuffing<br />

with the tenderloin. Wrap the<br />

breast with kitchen string to secure<br />

the stuffing in place and tie.<br />

Repeat with second breast.<br />

Heat a frying pan and add oil.<br />

Add the breasts skin side down<br />

and season with salt. When<br />

browned on one side, turn and<br />

season again. After 3min, place<br />

the pan in the hot oven for a further<br />

10-12min or until cooked.<br />

Remove from the oven and<br />

cover with foil to rest for 5min.<br />

To serve, place the chicken on a<br />

chopping board and remove the<br />

string.<br />

Slice in half and place on a<br />

warmed plate. Cover with foil<br />

while you make the sauce.<br />

Return the pan of chicken<br />

juices to the hob. Add the<br />

marsala or sherry and let it<br />

reduce for 2-3min (this is called<br />

de-glazing). Add the cream and<br />

taste for seasoning. Pour the<br />

sauce over the chicken. You may<br />

need to pour over through a<br />

sieve to remove any burnt pan<br />

leftovers. Season with freshly<br />

ground black pepper. Serve with<br />

potatoes and greens.<br />

GARDENING<br />

ADVICE with<br />

QUESTION<br />

What is the best way of propagating Tree Peony seeds?<br />

And how do you move one that has grown too big for its position?<br />

Today’s winning question came from Natalie Heaven.<br />

Nothing tastes better than home grown, juicy fruit. Adding fruit trees to<br />

your garden offers you everything an ornamental tree does, but with<br />

the added bonus of fruit crops. You don’t need to start a large orchard;<br />

it’s easy to incorporate a few fruit trees into your garden planting or<br />

even grow them in pots.<br />

We have a Daltons Premium Fruit Tree Care<br />

pack to give away which includes everything<br />

you need to plant and care for fruit trees.<br />

Valued at over $70, it contains:<br />

• 2 x Garden Time Planting Mix<br />

• Daltons Premium Planter Tabs<br />

• 2 x Daltons Mulch & Grow<br />

• PLUS a pair of comfortable,<br />

versatile Red Back gardening<br />

gloves from Omni Products<br />

(www.omniproducts.co.nz)<br />

PRIZE<br />

PACK!<br />

ANSWER<br />

Tree Peonies are typically propagated<br />

by grafting onto Herbaceous Peony roots<br />

(normal peonies that you can acquire from nurseries). <strong>The</strong>refore, you<br />

may want to do some experimenting with the timing of seed collection and<br />

sowing techniques, as the more traditional peonies are propagated by root division.<br />

To transplant a Tree Peony, try carrying out the process in mid-winter when the plant is not in active growth.<br />

Being very careful, dig out as much of the roots as possible. Prepare the new planting site thoroughly with<br />

ample amounts of Daltons Compost, as all peonies thrive on organic matter. Shift the plant carefully, providing<br />

support if necessary, and fi rm into position. Ensure it is planted at the same depth that it was previously<br />

growing, then add more compost around the base of the plant. Water well after shifting to help reduce possible<br />

transplant shock.<br />

Control pests with winter spray<br />

THE BEST antidote to a pest and<br />

disease-ridden spring garden is thorough<br />

winter spraying.<br />

Nothing toxic is required — simply<br />

give plants a good dowsing of copper<br />

spray, followed a week later by an application<br />

of spraying oil. Both of these<br />

are regarded as organic.<br />

Repeat three times over the winter<br />

months to kill both overwintering<br />

insect eggs and disease spores. It’s<br />

especially important to spray fruit<br />

trees (including citrus), roses and<br />

other deciduous plants, as well as any<br />

plants badly infested with insect pests<br />

or disease last summer.<br />

In fact, you should spray the entire<br />

garden, but wait for any winter-flowering<br />

plants to finish blooming before<br />

you begin.<br />

Garden pests lurk in the most unexpected<br />

places.<br />

Check the undersides of leaves for<br />

scale insects, and leaf sheaths and<br />

stems for mealybug and scale.<br />

Look for silvering of leaves on<br />

evergreen shrubs and trees including<br />

rhododendrons, camellias and pieris.<br />

This silvering indicates the presence of<br />

thrips. Spray oil to clean these up and<br />

reduce their numbers for spring. Collect<br />

diseased fallen leaves and place in<br />

the rubbish bin (not the organics bin).<br />

Spray the ground around infected<br />

plants with copper spray to help kill<br />

disease spores.<br />

Winter-hardy weeds can overrun<br />

the garden, making control in spring<br />

a nightmare. Spray with fast-acting<br />

glyphosate or dig out hard-to-kill<br />

weeds such as dock. Once weeding is<br />

done, fork compost through soil and<br />

mulch with a 10cm layer of fine bark<br />

or pea straw.<br />

NON-TOXIC: Use a copper spray<br />

to get rid of unwanted pests.<br />

Hiroshima’s haunting memories<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

IT’S THE sight of the charred,<br />

mangled child’s tricycle, inside<br />

the Hiroshima Peace Memorial<br />

Museum, that really ripped at my<br />

heart.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scorched tricycle was<br />

donated by Nobuo Tetsutani, his<br />

three-year-old son, Shin, died<br />

hours after the atomic bombing of<br />

their city. Nobuo found the barely<br />

alive Shin clinging onto the trike’s<br />

handlebars, trapped under the<br />

rubble of their destroyed home,<br />

before dying later in the evening.<br />

Like millions of fellow visitors<br />

every year, I too was drawn to<br />

the city where so many people<br />

were wiped out in one instant of<br />

apocalyptic destruction.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest surprise is the<br />

irrepressible beauty of Hiroshima,<br />

an instantly agreeable city,<br />

soothingly swathed in vast green<br />

spaces, lush and leafy streets and<br />

eye-catching rivers.<br />

Rather than replicate the prewar<br />

cityscape, the new Hiroshima<br />

was built as a city of great appeal.<br />

But it’s the raw and poignant<br />

atomic legacy that dominated my<br />

exploration.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most haunting reminder of<br />

the bombing is the A-Bomb Dome.<br />

Adjacent to the Peace Memorial<br />

Park, this landmark was formerly<br />

the Industrial Exhibition Hall,<br />

situated at ground zero of the<br />

bombing. When the first bomb was<br />

dropped, it exploded 500m above<br />

the building, killing its occupants<br />

instantly.<br />

Now preserved as a World Heritage<br />

site, its twisted girders, gaping<br />

holes, piles of rubble and shell-like<br />

appearance is shockingly evocative,<br />

bracketed in verdant trees.<br />

Inside the Peace Memorial Park,<br />

I rang the Peace Bell, which visitors<br />

are encouraged to do. Nearby is the<br />

Memorial Mound, a monument<br />

containing the ashes of tens of<br />

thousands of bombing victims.<br />

<strong>The</strong> saddest memorial is the<br />

Children’s Peace Monument, which<br />

depicts a girl with outstretched<br />

hands, while a crane bird, the Japanese<br />

symbol for longevity, flutters<br />

above. <strong>The</strong> monument refers to a<br />

child who believed that if she made<br />

SAD: (Clockwise from left) the scorched tricycle donated by Nobuo Tetsutani, the A-Bomb<br />

Dome, modern day Hiroshima and the Children’s Peace Monument.<br />

1000 paper cranes, she would recover<br />

from her radiation sickness.<br />

She didn’t survive, but the memorial<br />

is continuously adorned by<br />

fresh paper cranes made by school<br />

children.<br />

Across the road is the curved<br />

beauty of the cenotaph, which<br />

artfully frames the A-Bomb Dome<br />

and the Flame of Peace, which<br />

will only be extinguished when all<br />

nuclear weapons in the world have<br />

been decommissioned, completes<br />

the memorial walk.<br />

From there, I ventured inside the<br />

Peace Memorial Museum, which<br />

graphically showcases the sobering<br />

consequences of the atomic<br />

bombing, with photos, videos<br />

and personal exhibits, like that<br />

scorched trike. I was struck by<br />

the watch on display, that stopped<br />

ticking at 8.15am, when the bomb<br />

exploded, worn at the time by<br />

Akito Kawagoe; there are various<br />

school uniforms, ripped and burnt,<br />

worn by children at the time of the<br />

bombing; mangled lunch boxes<br />

and deformed glass bottles, melted<br />

by the horrendous heat.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are searing first-hand<br />

accounts from survivors of the<br />

bombing, who later died from their<br />

horrific burns, radiation disorders<br />

and cancers. Beyond the emotional<br />

intensity of the war legacy, it helps<br />

to dispel the gloom by soaking up<br />

Hiroshima’s post-war renaissance.<br />

I love how the city has developed<br />

so many urban gardens, studded<br />

with ponds, miniature bridges and<br />

magnificent sculptures.<br />

Hiroshima Castle seemingly<br />

floats on its moat. Destroyed by the<br />

bomb, it has been faithfully reconstructed<br />

and the main courtyard<br />

also includes trees sporting scorch<br />

marks from that fateful day.<br />

It is the Christ Church Cathedral<br />

of Hiroshima.<br />

Regardless of the politics of war<br />

and whether you think the bomb<br />

should have been dropped or not,<br />

there is no denying the profound<br />

and insightful impact a visit to<br />

Hiroshima serves up.<br />

<strong>The</strong> darkest of days, a people’s<br />

resilience, and a city rebuilt with its<br />

arms wide open to the world.<br />

Hiroshima is an easy train ride<br />

away from Tokyo, which I flew to<br />

from Christchurch via the Gold<br />

Coast.<br />

is a great-value way to fly to<br />

Japan. For extra-comfort, upgrade<br />

noshed heartily on wushi pork with<br />

a gorgeous caramel cheesecake for<br />

dessert. Prior to landing, the crispy<br />

battered fish fillet and mushy peas,<br />

followed by a chocolate and raspberry<br />

brownie, fuelled me up to hit<br />

Japan at full speed.

It’s all about the journey<br />

ant<br />

Our last night together at El Nacional<br />

restaurant<br />

By Chris Lyons, Director and Tour Host, World Journeys<br />

If group travel conjures up image of hordes of tourists following a guide with a megaphone,<br />

think again! Small group travel today can be the ultimate way to travel to some of the world’s<br />

most exciting, challenging and exotic countries. I am in the enviable position of hosting small<br />

groups of Kiwi travellers each year to the likes of South America and Africa, and can honestly<br />

say it’s the way to go!<br />

You may not have friends who share your particular ‘bucket list’ of travel desires, but you<br />

don’t like travelling alone. Perhaps tackling a foreign language is too daunting, or you simply<br />

don’t have the energy to do it all yourself. Booking a small group tour takes care of all of that.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is company to share the experiences with, all the nitty gritty details are taken care of by<br />

someone else, and your host is there to smooth the way should anything unexpected happen.<br />

World Journeys creates and operates a range of small group tours each year, selecting our<br />

most-loved destinations such as the game parks of Southern Africa, the beauty and traditions<br />

of Japan, and the epic ports of the Mediterranean. Some of these journeys include a cruise –<br />

whether that be Holland America Line in the Med, or a small ship in the Galapagos Islands.<br />

Other journeys take roads less travelled, such as our itinerary in still-developing Madagascar<br />

(perfect for avid travellers!).<br />

<strong>The</strong> Wonders of South America group at Machu<br />

Pichu.<br />

New for <strong>20</strong>18 is a ‘Croatia & Slovenia’ journey, which has a little taste of Venice and Mostar<br />

thrown in. <strong>The</strong>re is so much to savour – the karst caves of Postojna, the castles of Predjama and<br />

Bled, picturesque open-air markets, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historic churches, palaces<br />

and bridges as well as the spectacular Plitvice Lakes National Park. A highlight for many will<br />

be the small ship cruise along the Adriatic Coast, visiting some of the most beautiful Croatian<br />

Islands. Wine and food tasting along the way gives you a true glimpse of local life.<br />

In fact, food and wine is always a highlight of our travel, and we often include a farewell dinner<br />

at a ‘hidden gem’ favourite restaurant enjoyed only by those ‘in the know’.<br />

Most of all, I love the conviviality of travelling in, and hosting, a small group. <strong>The</strong>re’s always<br />

company if you want it, or time to do your own thing every now and then. And every person<br />

brings something to the mix. <strong>The</strong>re may be a keen photographer in the group, who you can follow<br />

to get the best shots, or a fashionista, who will call upon my haggling skills to buy jewellery<br />

or textiles in the markets.<br />

Many lifelong friendships have been forged on tour, and many return again to travel with us in<br />

subsequent years.<br />

Travel is all about the journey, but it’s also about sharing the experience, and that’s the beauty<br />

of travelling with a group.<br />

In May of this year the orchestra<br />

presented its first concert,<br />

“Origins” in the beautiful Oamaru<br />

Opera House – travelling together<br />

and sharing its music with other<br />

communities is an important focus<br />

for the orchestra.<br />

Orchestra was founded in the 1970s<br />

and offers talented students in the<br />

Christchurch area the opportunity<br />

to play challenging and exciting<br />

orchestral repertoire. Each year the<br />

orchestra performs 3-4 concerts<br />

and is often called on to perform at<br />

corporate and community events.<br />

In <strong>20</strong>15 the Christchurch School of Music<br />

signed a sponsorship agreement with the<br />

University of Canterbury for the orchestra<br />

which gives naming rights to the university<br />

and ensures the players can have access<br />

to interesting repertoire and essential<br />

equipment. <strong>The</strong> orchestra is very grateful<br />

for this support and the opportunities this<br />

has opened up for a strong collaboration<br />

with the University’s School of Music.<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre/Arts<br />

Young diva takes on Sister Act<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

TAKING ON the role of the one<br />

and only ‘Lady Fabulous’, Deloris<br />

Van Cartier, could just be what<br />

Monique Clementson was born<br />

to do.<br />

Straight out of the city’s performing<br />

arts school and already<br />

Clementson, 21, has been chosen<br />

to play the lead role in the musical<br />

Sister Act in both Invercargill<br />

and Christchurch.<br />

She was head-hunted for the<br />

role and, on the same day the<br />

Avonhead resident auditioned<br />

for Invercargill Musical <strong>The</strong>atre’s<br />

version of the show, she got a<br />

call to go audition for Showbiz<br />

Christchurch, which will stage<br />

the show in September.<br />

Having grown up watching<br />

Whoopi Goldberg in the 1992<br />

film on which the musical is<br />

based, Clementson’s first big role<br />

out of the National Academy of<br />

Singing and Dramatic Art is a<br />

dream come true.<br />

“I am so incredibly grateful . . .<br />

it was just such a blessing to have<br />

the opportunity to even audition<br />

for the role,” she said.<br />

Describing her character as<br />

Play evokes emotion of watching your favourite sports team<br />

Up ‘n’ Under<br />

Produced by Top Dog<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre<br />

Written by John Godber<br />

Reviewed by Georgia<br />

O’Connor-Harding<br />

IF YOU have never been to a live<br />

rugby league game before, going<br />

to see Top Dog <strong>The</strong>atre tackle<br />

playwright John Godber’s uplifting<br />

show is a good start.<br />

A lively atmosphere created by<br />

a small, but vivacious, cast will<br />

fast take you on the emotional<br />

rollercoaster you ride when<br />

watching a nail-bitingly close<br />

game.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact you’re in a theatre is<br />

quickly forgotten as this hilarious<br />

show has you cheering for<br />

the underdog team to take the<br />

“sassy”, “straight-up” and “spontaneous”,<br />

Clementson said she<br />

has a connection with Deloris<br />

Van Cartier’s love of performing.<br />

Like her character, Clementson<br />

is also a fan of the nightlife, saying<br />

there is nothing like Mama<br />

Hooch on a Friday night.<br />

“That is my favourite thing<br />

to do in the weekend, to go out<br />

and pretend I am the best dancer<br />

win against its unfair rival.<br />

It all starts with a dumb bet.<br />

Ex-professional rugby league<br />

player Arthur, played by Tom<br />

Trevella, puts his life savings on<br />

the line against rival Reg Welsh,<br />

Aaron Boyce, betting he can<br />

train an amateur team to take<br />

down the unbeaten Cobblers<br />

Arms.<br />

If you are wondering, Wheatsheaf<br />

Arms, the team to take on<br />

these champions, are no Melbourne<br />

Storm, in fact they are<br />

almost beyond inept, needing a<br />

bit of convincing to get off their<br />

backsides.<br />

But a combination of ambition<br />

and, arguably, stupidity changes<br />

a bunch of everyday English lads<br />

who enjoys a good drink at the<br />

pub into a physically strong team<br />

there,” she said.<br />

While she describes her dancing<br />

as “gamy”, she thinks it will<br />

work for her role.<br />

<strong>The</strong> past year has already been<br />

a whirl-wind for Clementson,<br />

who has also secured two professional<br />

gigs with <strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre<br />

in its production of Legally<br />

Blonde and the children’s show<br />

Cinderella in Space.<br />

that could actually have a chance<br />

of winning.<br />

This show was chuckle-inducing<br />

from start to finish.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re may only be six actors,<br />

DIVA WITH<br />

A FEVER:<br />

Monique<br />

Clementson<br />

performing in<br />

the Invercargill<br />

Musical<br />

<strong>The</strong>atre’s<br />

version of Sister<br />

Act.<br />

Having a passion to make<br />

people laugh, she has even been<br />

made an apprentice Court Jester<br />

– the team behind the country’s<br />

longest running comedy show<br />

Scared Scriptless.<br />

“If someone was, like, what is<br />

your dream goal? I would full-on<br />

say, I would love to have my own<br />

television show like Ellen or <strong>The</strong><br />

Oprah Winfrey Show . . . and<br />

TEAM: Top Dog <strong>The</strong>atre<br />

has produced a hilarious,<br />

relatable show about the<br />

trials and tribulations of rugby<br />

league.<br />

but each of them made their<br />

characters relatable and brought<br />

a humour to the stage that took<br />

you to the sports grounds of the<br />

show’s setting – Kingston upon<br />

Hull, England.<br />

Each performer had their merits,<br />

but Trevella was a star in his<br />

own right, in that he had such<br />

a natural stage presence which<br />

once again made it easy to forget<br />

you were at a stage show.<br />

He nailed the Yorkshire accent,<br />

and the rugged persona he gave<br />

off sang a stereotypical, aged<br />

former sportsman.<br />

just give away heaps of stuff,” she<br />

said.<br />

Yet like a lot of artists in the<br />

city under pressure to find<br />

full-time work, Clementson has<br />

had times when she worried<br />

she made the wrong decision to<br />

study performing arts.<br />

“Between the time of finishing<br />

Legally Blonde and before I did<br />

a kids show . . . I had nothing<br />

and I was freaking out thinking<br />

I made the wrong decision,” she<br />

said.<br />

But Clementson said she opted<br />

to study at NASDA because she<br />

had never been particularly good<br />

at anything else.<br />

While studying, she was<br />

presented with a number of<br />

“serious” stage roles which she<br />

said were a huge challenge and<br />

developed her as a person.<br />

“All the things I went through<br />

during studying like relationships<br />

and break-ups and all that<br />

gross stuff helped,” she said.<br />

•Sister Act will run at the<br />

Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal from<br />

September 8-23. To book<br />

tickets, visit https://www.<br />

showbiz.org.nz/sister-act<br />

Apart from a tense rugby<br />

game creating the show’s climax,<br />

my favourite scene is when the<br />

Wheatsheaf Arms side are put<br />

through their paces by the nononsense<br />

athlete Hazel, Miriam<br />

van Voorthuizen.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 1980s music, and the physical<br />

pain each of the performers<br />

convey as they attempt to navigate<br />

their way through the scary<br />

looking gym machinery, was an<br />

entertaining treat to watch.<br />

Whether Wheatsheaf Arms<br />

win or not, the show is triumphant,<br />

sending a message that<br />

anything can happen if you work<br />

hard.<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 />

Cheeky C-HR new<br />

entry for Toyota<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

THE LAST time I drove a<br />

1.2-litre Toyota was the day<br />

I sold my wife’s old <strong>Star</strong>let<br />

– that was 10 years ago.<br />

How times have changed,<br />

if you had told me then<br />

that Toyota would now be<br />

marketing a 1.2-litre sport<br />

utility vehicle I would have<br />

said you were joking.<br />

Well, the joke’s on me<br />

because that’s exactly what<br />

has just landed on the<br />

market, a 1197cc SUV/<br />

crossover which Toyota<br />

have simply badged C-HR<br />

– an acronym for coupe<br />

high-rider.<br />

<strong>The</strong> C-HR is a smart<br />

piece of kit; of course it’s<br />

not overly big but it is bold,<br />

it has edgy styling which<br />

polarises people, most who<br />

I spoke to liked the shape,<br />

but a couple of others felt it<br />

was too weird. Personally,<br />

I grew to like it, the sharp<br />

angles mixed with flowing<br />

curves create a lot of<br />

attention and, judging by<br />

global demand, it is being<br />

well accepted. I particularly<br />

like the position of the rear<br />

door handles, they are situated<br />

just beneath the roof<br />

line and blend into the<br />

design almost invisibly.<br />

In terms of functionality,<br />

the C-HR is quite purposeful,<br />

the interior makes<br />

good use of its compact<br />

proportions, it’s a definite<br />

five-seater, and for three<br />

in the rear it’s cosy but<br />

not tight. In contrast the<br />

interior is a lot more conservative<br />

than the outside<br />

appearance, but it is fresh<br />

and built to the Toyota<br />

quality process. <strong>The</strong> fit and<br />

finish is perfect with high<br />

grade trim materials.<br />

<strong>The</strong> C-HR lands here in<br />

just one specification, well<br />

you do have the choice of<br />

either front-wheel-drive or<br />

four-wheel-drive. It is listed<br />

at $37,990 with the 4WD<br />

option adding an extra<br />

$<strong>20</strong>00. <strong>The</strong> evaluation car<br />

was without drive to the<br />

rear, and that would be my<br />

choice by far. <strong>The</strong> C-HR<br />

is not an off-roader, so for<br />

the odd occasion when you<br />

need that extra grip aside,<br />

I don’t know that I’d be<br />

spending the extra.<br />

However, it’s the mechanicals<br />

which make the C-HR<br />

rather special. Under the<br />

bonnet sits the wee fourpotter,<br />

it’s a twin-camshaft,<br />

16-valve design, but instead<br />

of being naturally aspirated,<br />

it has a turbocharger<br />

to boost power outputs.<br />

Toyota rate the engine with<br />

TOYOTA C-HR: Edgy styling.<br />

healthy figures for its size at<br />

85kW and 185Nm; but the<br />

big secret is the area where<br />

those outputs are developed<br />

– 5<strong>20</strong>0rpm for power<br />

and 1500rpm for torque.<br />

Consequently, they are<br />

low in the rev band and,<br />

that being the case, the<br />

engine works solidly and<br />

strongly right through to<br />

the top end, it is a smooth,<br />

whisper-quiet engine and I<br />

guess when you don’t have<br />

a lot of reciprocating mass<br />

you could expect that.<br />

<strong>The</strong> C-HR isn’t fast but it<br />

• Price – Toyota C-HR,<br />

$37,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4360mm; width,<br />

1795mm; height,<br />

1565mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

1197cc, 85kW,<br />

185Nm, continuously<br />

variable automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 10.5sec<br />

• Fuel usage<br />

–6.4l/100km<br />

will cut out a standstill to<br />

100km/h time of 10.5sec.<br />

Drive is channelled<br />

through a continuously<br />

variable transmission and<br />

it, too, helps enhance the<br />

levels of smoothness and<br />

refinement.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s a steady transition<br />

of drive and the ratio<br />

changes don’t load the<br />

engine, that feel of pull<br />

from engine and associated<br />

turbo boost is constant,<br />

the engine feels a lot more<br />

powerful than its figures<br />

suggest. Also, it responds<br />

willingly to throttle pressure,<br />

the beauty of turbocharging<br />

is the instant<br />

response but without the<br />

once heavy fuel use.<br />

Instead, the C-HR is<br />

rated with a 6.4-litre per<br />

100km (44mpg) combined<br />

cycle average. That fits well<br />

with the 8l/100km (35mpg)<br />

average figure showing on<br />

the trip computer, along<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

with a 5l/100km (56mpg)<br />

instantaneous figure sitting<br />

at a steady 100km/h<br />

(engine speed 2750rpm).<br />

I took the test car west to<br />

Hororata and presented it<br />

with some short but challenging<br />

corners into the<br />

Malvern Hills. <strong>The</strong> C-HR<br />

has dynamic handling, and<br />

you’d expect that from a car<br />

which looks like it wants to<br />

move quickly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> suspension is quality<br />

through and through,<br />

it’s a fully independent<br />

strut/wishbone system and<br />

it hasn’t been dampened<br />

overly firm; instead there<br />

are high levels of comfort.<br />

Suspension control and the<br />

way it arrests body movement<br />

is a credit to the engineering<br />

teams.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ride is perfect, yet<br />

you can also force the<br />

C-HR into a corner and it<br />

will respond like a sports<br />

car with direct steering and<br />

plenty of steering feel.<br />

Riding on high quality<br />

Michelin tyres (225/50 x<br />

18in) there is a lot of rubber<br />

on the road and that, too,<br />

contributes to the strong<br />

feeling of stability.<br />

In one of my Lexus evaluations<br />

last year I remarked<br />

that I couldn’t wait to drive<br />

other vehicles with the new<br />

2-litre turbocharged engine<br />

that is finding its way<br />

through those premium<br />

vehicles.<br />

I thought that engine<br />

would also trickle its way<br />

through Toyota product<br />

as well, that hasn’t happened<br />

yet, but Toyota did<br />

surprise me when the<br />

C-HR was lunched, I didn’t<br />

expect its re-entry into<br />

turbocharging would be in<br />

an engine with such small<br />

capacity.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fact remains, though,<br />

that it works well and<br />

serves to prove that you<br />

don’t need cubic capacity<br />

to glean good performance.<br />

Add all that with those<br />

sharp styling elements and<br />

the C-HR is certainly a<br />

standout SUV.

Lino surprise call up to replace Johnson in Warriors<br />

MASON LINO’S out-of-the-blue<br />

call up to the Warriors is both a<br />

blessing and a curse.<br />

Lino has been named to<br />

replace the injured Shaun<br />

Johnson in the line-up to face<br />

North Queensland on Saturday<br />

night. He was preferred ahead<br />

of Ata Hingano for the clash at<br />

1300smiles Stadium, Townsville.<br />

It will be his first NRL appearance<br />

in almost two years, since<br />

he played three games during<br />

the awful end to the <strong>20</strong>15 season,<br />

when the Warriors lost six<br />

straight after Johnson suffered an<br />

ankle injury.<br />

While Lino, who is the only<br />

change to the Warriors, will be<br />

thrilled at the opportunity, it’s<br />

another “deep end” scenario. He<br />

comes into a team that has lost<br />

two consecutive matches, and<br />

needs a victory to keep their<br />

season alive on the toughest<br />

road trip in the NRL at a ground<br />

where the Warriors have won<br />

once in 11 attempts.<br />

Lino has yet to win an NRL<br />

match. But the 23-year-old has<br />

been rewarded for two consistent<br />

seasons in the Warriors Intrust<br />

Super Premiership team, which<br />

he led to the finals last year and<br />

currently sit second after 19<br />

rounds in this year’s competition.<br />

Lino is a solid player and his<br />

organisational skills must have<br />

been judged as superior to those<br />

of Hingano, who is on the bench<br />

as cover for both halves and<br />

hooker.<br />

It will leave supporters of<br />

Hingano scratching their heads,<br />

though, especially as the Tongan<br />

has been earmarked – at this<br />

stage – to wear the No 6 jersey<br />

next year after Kieran Foran’s<br />

departure.<br />

“We know Mason will do a<br />

good job for us. He has been<br />

really consistent for our ISP side.<br />

At the same time, we have Ata<br />

on the bench, with his ability to<br />

cover the halves and hooker,”<br />

said coach Stephen Kearney.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest range of vehicles in one location<br />

Spoilt for choice: League or rugby<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

TEENAGER PATRICK Elia is<br />

a new breed of young footballer<br />

who has both the rugby union<br />

and league codes at his feet.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 17-year-old, who has<br />

starred in this year’s UC Championship,<br />

has a lucrative option<br />

to switch codes and play NRL in<br />

the future, or stick with rugby.<br />

Elia, who is the full-back for St<br />

Thomas’ of Canterbury College,<br />

has signed a contract with the<br />

Warriors and plans to move to<br />

Auckland in November. However,<br />

he is also being sought after<br />

by the Crusaders, who recently<br />

selected him in their under-18<br />

side.<br />

Elia is not the first to be in<br />

this situation. Cruz Topai-Aveai<br />

– last year’s UC Championship<br />

MVP – switched codes to join<br />

the South Sydney Rabbitohs and<br />

is now with the Cronulla Sharks<br />

under-<strong>20</strong> side.<br />

If Elia goes to the Warriors,<br />

he will join one of his first XV<br />

teammates.<br />

St Thomas’ No 8 Seth Tauamiti<br />

has joined the Warriors on a<br />

three-year contract. <strong>The</strong> two<br />

would also become housemates<br />

at Warriors House – a home<br />

away from home for the club’s<br />

most promising junior players.<br />

St Thomas’ connection with<br />

the NRL club doesn’t end there.<br />

Warriors South Island talent<br />

scout Andrew Auimatagi is a<br />

teacher and coach at the school.<br />

Although Elia has signed with<br />

the Warriors, due to an under-18<br />

rule in the NRL, he could potentially<br />

pull the pin if a more<br />

desirable offer comes up.<br />

“Playing any kind of professional<br />

rugby is a dream. It could<br />

still go either way depending on<br />

what’s going to be best for me,”<br />

said Elia.<br />

NRL player agent and former<br />

Kiwis coach Frank Endacott says<br />

it’s no surprise that NRL clubs<br />

are targeting Christchurch union<br />

players.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Canberra Raiders actually<br />

rang me last night suggesting<br />

that they’re coming across and<br />

they’ll be looking at rugby union<br />

players,” said Endacott.<br />

Both codes have their pros<br />

and cons at the developmental<br />

level straight out of secondary<br />

school. However, it’s understood<br />

the Warriors have been able to<br />

offer more of an immediately<br />

beneficial package money-wise<br />

than the Crusaders.<br />

“It seems like, in rugby league,<br />

they reward you first and then<br />

you train hard. With rugby<br />

(union), you have to train hard<br />

and then you’ll get the reward,”<br />

said Elia.<br />

After cracking St Thomas’ first<br />

XV as a year 9, he has progressed<br />

in leaps and bounds. At the<br />

weekend, Elia was part of the<br />

Crusaders Junior Knights team<br />

which lost 10-25 to the Hurricanes<br />

under-18 team.<br />

Andrew King<br />

TALENTED MIDDLE distance<br />

runner Nick Moulai should be<br />

lining up for a 1500m race in the<br />

Bahamas today – but instead he’ll<br />

be playing video games in his<br />

new moon boot.<br />

Moulai, 17, was selected to<br />

run for New Zealand in the<br />

1500m and 3000m events at<br />

the Junior Commonwealth<br />

Games. However, his dreams of<br />

DECISION: Patrick Elia has both codes chasing his services.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

competing in the Bahamas were<br />

left in tatters when he partially<br />

tore his plantaris tendon while<br />

competing in a 3000m race<br />

in Hamilton earlier this month.<br />

“I got almost 2km in and then<br />

it kind of just popped. It was<br />

obviously very frustrating. I’m<br />

staying positive, though, and I<br />

like to think that there will be<br />

bigger and better things to come<br />

in the future,” said Moulai.<br />

He won’t just be playing video<br />

He also has from strong family<br />

links to union. His three older<br />

brothers all played for St Thomas’<br />

first XV. His brother Elia Elia<br />

has since gone on to play for<br />

Manu Samoa and English club<br />

Harlequins.<br />

Last year, Elia got his first taste<br />

of rugby league when he played<br />

for St Thomas at the national<br />

secondary schools tournament<br />

in Auckland.<br />

“That was my first ever game<br />

of league. I was just a fill-in<br />

because they were short of numbers,”<br />

said Elia.<br />

Once he was there, it didn’t<br />

take long for the scouts to take<br />

notice.<br />

“I played pretty well up there<br />

and from that tournament I got<br />

two offers, one from the Warriors<br />

and one from the Cowboys,”<br />

said Elia.<br />

From there, he signed the deal<br />

with the Warriors. However,<br />

the Crusaders Academy are also<br />

after his talents and are hopeful<br />

he may decide to stick with the<br />

15-man code.<br />

games. While Moulai has been<br />

in the moon boot, he’s been<br />

doing aqua jogging to keep up his<br />

cardio fitness.<br />

“It’s so boring,” he jokes.<br />

“It’s just lap after lap, so you<br />

end up finding people to go with<br />

so you can talk through it.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> St Bede’s College student<br />

was a medal hope in the 3000m<br />

at the Junior Commonwealth<br />

Games. In December, he won<br />

the 3000m with a time of 8min<br />

<strong>The</strong> money factor<br />

<strong>The</strong> gap in pay scale<br />

between the top NRL and<br />

Super Rugby stars isn’t<br />

massive. However, earlier<br />

this year Kieran Read was<br />

reported to become the<br />

first All Black to secure a $1<br />

million a year contract. In the<br />

NRL there are five players<br />

believed to be earning in<br />

excess of that figure.<br />

Highest paid NRL players<br />

•Daly Cherry-Evans (Sea<br />

Eagles) – $1.3 million.<br />

•Johnathan Thurston<br />

(Cowboys) – $1.2 million.<br />

•Billy Slater (Storm) – $1.2<br />

million.<br />

•Jarryd Hayne (Titans) – $1.2<br />

million.<br />

•Cameron Smith (Storm) –<br />

$1.1 million.<br />

It’s believed the deadline for<br />

Elia to make a final decision is<br />

before the New Zealand Secondary<br />

Schools rugby squad is<br />

selected later in the year.<br />

As it stands, Elia says he is<br />

leaning in the direction of the<br />

Warriors. However, if he does so,<br />

he says the option of returning to<br />

union in the future isn’t off the<br />

cards.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Warriors also recently<br />

secured the services of another<br />

local youngster. Linwood Keas<br />

player Graeme Patu-Vaega’au<br />

will join the Warriors in November.<br />

Junior Commonwealth Games medal hopeful lands in a moon boot<br />

16.77sec, shattering a nine-yearold<br />

age group national record at<br />

the national secondary schools<br />

track and field championships<br />

in Auckland. That same event is<br />

what Moulai’s attention will turn<br />

to after he has recovered from his<br />

injury.<br />

medal hope at the Junior<br />

Commonwealth Games, Hannah<br />

Bates, begins her campaign in the<br />

pool today.

Key moments will decide quarter-final – Jeff Wilson<br />

• By Steve Hepburn<br />

FORMER ALL Black and<br />

Highlander Jeff Wilson believes<br />

the Highlanders should go into<br />

Saturday’s quarter-final against<br />

the Crusaders with plenty of<br />

confidence.<br />

Wilson said there were many<br />

emotions heading into the game<br />

for the Highlanders and they<br />

would be sure to harness that.<br />

“A couple of the coaches who<br />

are there, who were instrumental<br />

Wilson said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y [Highlanders] seem to<br />

be one of those teams that do not<br />

lack for motivation and can use<br />

that emotion to their advantage.’’<br />

Highlanders head coach Tony<br />

Brown will become assistant<br />

coach of Japan after the season,<br />

while defence coach Scott<br />

McLeod is linking up with the<br />

All Blacks.<br />

<br />

Wilson said it was an interesting<br />

time for the Crusaders.<br />

“But now they have lost a couple<br />

on the bounce and know they<br />

will have to be on their game.’’<br />

Wilson said the fact Brown<br />

said before the quarter-final<br />

line-up had been decided that<br />

he wanted to go to Christchurch<br />

and play the Crusaders was a<br />

huge advantage.<br />

“He wanted the Crusaders, did<br />

not want to deal with the travel.<br />

then you have to go through<br />

Christchurch so the way Tony<br />

has approached it you might as<br />

well play them in the quarterfinal<br />

early on.<br />

“And looking at the play-offs,<br />

the quarter-finals, every other<br />

game is away. So we’ve got the<br />

benefit of a local derby in Christchurch.’’<br />

<strong>The</strong> Highlanders made a slow<br />

start to the season, losing three<br />

of their first four games, but have<br />

lost just once since then, going<br />

down to the Crusaders in early<br />

June.<br />

Wilson said the Crusaders<br />

obviously had a quality and experienced<br />

forward pack but the<br />

Highlanders had a lot of talent in<br />

the backline.<br />

He said both sides had the<br />

ability to play for the entire 80<br />

minutes and had incredibly<br />

strong defences so it was bound<br />

to come down to a few key moments.<br />

How to stay<br />

warm and dry<br />

Kiwi homes contain hidden health<br />

dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy<br />

homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can<br />

make a home more saleable as well as a<br />

healthier place to live.<br />

Many older homes are cold and damp<br />

and sometimes have other hazards such<br />

as lead-based paint and asbestos.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are a number of steps to take to<br />

make your home more healthy.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y include behavioural change,<br />

the cheapest way to make your home<br />

healthier is to open windows to<br />

ventilate.<br />

If you’re out a lot, but want to<br />

increase natural ventilation buy some<br />

security window stays or locks that<br />

allow you to leave windows slightly<br />

open when you’re out. This can be a lot<br />

cheaper to buy and run than high-tech<br />

systems.<br />

If nothing else, insulate the ceiling<br />

and under the house. <strong>The</strong> Energy<br />

Efficiency and Conservation Authority<br />

(EECA) has information on its website<br />

about funding grants available through<br />

the Warm Up New Zealand campaign.<br />

By 1 <strong>July</strong> <strong>20</strong>19 all rental properties<br />

must have ceiling and underfloor<br />

insulation Ventilation systems move<br />

moisture from the air making the home<br />

healthier and feel warmer.<br />

Adding a sheet of heavy polythene<br />

beneath a home can provide an efficient<br />

moisture barrier beneath piled homes.<br />

A heat pump will warm and ventilate<br />

rooms in the winter and cool them in<br />

the summer. Watch out for hard sell in<br />

this market though and shop around<br />

before buying heating or ventilation<br />

systems.<br />

EECA suggests a number of different<br />

options for secondary glazing, which<br />

is cheaper than retrofitting double<br />

glazing.<br />

Alternatives include DIY window<br />

insulation, aluminium framed<br />

secondary glazing on the inside of<br />

the existing glazing, or acrylic sheets<br />

attached internally.<br />

<strong>The</strong> latest technology is Low-E films,<br />

which are stuck to existing windows.<br />

This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent<br />

says Chris Olson, general manager of<br />

<strong>The</strong>rmafilmNZ.<br />

Healthy homes aren’t just about<br />

insulation and moisture removal.<br />

Using fewer toxic chemicals can<br />

make your home healthier to live in.<br />

Parents of young children sometimes<br />

worry about exposure to chemicals as<br />

do asthma sufferers. As a result some<br />

buyers will also be impressed.<br />

Dust mites can make a home<br />

unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on<br />

your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum<br />

more often and empty the bag between<br />

cleans.<br />

Decluttering as well reduces the<br />

places that dust can build up.<br />

Mould spores can be very bad<br />

for your lungs. If mould builds up<br />

anywhere in your house clean it off as<br />

soon as possible. If this is an ongoing<br />

problem consider ways to reduce the<br />

humidity.<br />

If your home was built before the<br />

1980s watch out for lead paint and<br />

asbestos. Both should be removed by an<br />

expert.<br />
