Kidney dream comes true 

• By Emily O’Connell 

PLUCKY teenager Maddie 

Collins was operated on 

yesterday after a potentially 

lifesaving kidney became 

available. 

Maddie, 14, and her family 

were told at 11pm on Tuesday 

their five-year wait for a kidney 

match had been found. 

They flew from Christchurch 

to Auckland early yesterday 

morning and Maddie underwent 

the operation at Starship 

Children’s Health at 1pm. 

“This is surreal. Is it going to 

work? Wow, what a miracle,” 

Maddie’s mother Sarah Manson-Collins 

said yesterday. 

The family will know within 

days if the transplant has been 

successful. 

Mrs Manson-Collins told The 

Star it can take up to a month 

for a transplanted kidney to start 

working. 

“The concern with Maddie 

is she is at a high risk of her 

disease rearing up again and 

shutting the new kidney down. 

We will know within days if this 

is the case,” she said. 

Maddie will now spend about 

three months at Starship recovering. 

Mrs Manson-Collins said 

Maddie cried on Tuesday night 

when she was told of the kidney.

News....................................3-16 

THAT’S AMAZING news 

the front page today – Maddie 

Collins may have got the 

kidney she desperately needs to 

potentially stay alive. 

The operation at Auckland’s 

Starship was scheduled to go into 

early evening (after The Star was 

sent off to the printer). So fingers 

crossed everything went well. 

It has been a very long journey 

for Maddie and her family and 

even with the transplant operation 

yesterday it is far from over. 

The first step will be if 

Maddie’s body actually accepts 

the kidney. Then there will be 

a wait to see if the kidney functions 

and then whether the new 

kidney works. 

Let’s hope Maddie and her 

family get the good news in a few 

months they desperately seek. 

Another good story on page 3 

about a successful surfing family.

championships. 

Donna’s step-daughter Estella 

Hungerford was a medallist.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Surfing success all in the family 

• By Gordon Findlater 

IT WAS a family vacation which 

turned into a national medal 

haul for Donna Henderson, 

Ava Henderson and Estella 

Hungerford at the national surf 

championships in Gisborne last 

week. 

The highlight of the week was 

when Donna and Ava created 

history by becoming the first 

mother and daughter combo to 

win titles at the same national 

championships. 

The family tie doesn’t end 

there . . . Donna also made it 

to the women’s longboard final 

where she lined up against 

Estella, who is also her stepdaughter. 

The Taylors Mistake family left 

for Gisborne in their campervan 

on January 4. 

“We got to Gizzy and it was 

pumping. It was six foot plus on 

the first day of the competition,” 

said Donna. 

The 43-year-old had the highest 

score overall of 10.2 in the 

women’s senior event, which 

saw her take gold in the over 40 

category. Her daughter Ava won 

the girls under-14 final with a 

score of 13.7. 

“Essentially, I won the oldest 

title and Ava won the youngest 

which is quite special,” said 

Donna. 

While tasting her own success 

was sweet, the highlight for the 

proud mum was watching Ava 

secure her first national title. 

“It was great. She came pretty 

close last year in Piha but was 

the bridesmaid so this year she 

was pretty determined to win.” 

“Straight off the buzzer she 

got a really good wave and 

then she just kept backing it 

up so it was really awesome to 

watch.” 

Donna – who is the founder 

of the Christchurch School of 

Surf at Sumner Beach – began 

surfing in her early 20s and won 

her first national title at the age 

of 42 in 2017. Ava on the other 

hand rode her first board at six 

and has now already claimed her

SURF’S UP: Estella Hungerford finished second in the women’s longboard and fourth in the 

girls under 16. 

first national crown at the age of 

just 12. 

“She’s doing pretty well and 

she does want to be a pro surfer. 

We’ll see how that goes.” 

There was more of a 

competitive element to her 

step-daughter’s success when 

Donna and Estella met in the 

longboard final. 

“Both of us were going headto-head 

in the longboard. I was 

coming second but in the last 

minute Estella got a bomb from 

out the back and pipped me.” 

“I was really happy for her.” 

Estella also finished fourth in 

the girl’s under-16 final. 

There could be a third Henderson 

gunning for a national 

title in the not too distant future 

as well. Donna’s son Travis is 

eight and recently took up surfing 

competitively. 

“He’s certainly got a bit of a 

taste for it, so we’re hoping to 

add another one.” 

In Brief 

CRASH VICTIM A PRIEST 

The man killed in a crash on 

Monday was the assistant priest 

at Our Lady of Victories Parish 

on Main South Rd, Sockburn. 

Father Graeme Joseph Blackburn, 

33, died after a collision 

between a motor-cycle and a 

vehicle on Purau Port Levy 

Rd, Purau, at about 5.30pm. 

Father Blackburn had only been 

ordained in July last year. The serious 

crash unit is investigating 

the incident. A vigil for Father 

Blackburn is to be held on Friday 

at Our Lady of Victories Church. 

The Requiem Mass will be held 

on Saturday at St Mary’s Pro- 

Cathedral on Manchester St. 

VEHICLE BREAK-INS 

A man was arrested after being 

“grabbed” by onlookers as he 

allegedly broke into vehicles in 

Cashmere. Police responded to 

the incident on Hunter Tce at 

about 11.54am on Tuesday. “It 

would appear he was breaking 

into cars so some people have 

grabbed him and phoned 

police,” a police communications 

spokesman said. 

SPORTS PARK DELAYED 

The reopening of Sydenham 

Park has been delayed for a 

fourth time due to wet and 

extreme weather conditions. 

City council neighbourhood and 

sports parks operation manager 

Al Hardy said the work to install 

four cricket blocks and three 

sand carpet playing fields will 

be completed by April 1. The 

work started in April last year. 

Originally the park was meant to 

be finished by July, but that was 

pushed back to October, then 

February, and now April.

Kidney for Maddie 

•From page 1 

“She knows it’s going 

to be rough but she also 

knows this is the best thing 

for her,” Mrs Manson- 

Collins said. 

Maddie suffers from 

kidney disease, nephrotic 

syndrome, of which there 

was only about a two per 

cent chance of finding a 

match in New Zealand. 

Maddie received a kidney 

transplant from her father 

Adam Collins five years 

ago but her body rejected 

it. Mrs Manson-Collins is 

hopeful it will be different 

this time. 

“The team up here 

wouldn’t have offered it to 

Maddie if they didn’t think 

it was the right thing to 

do,” she said. 


it is likely Maddie’s disease 

will return following the 

kidney transplant. 

“Starship knows what 

to do to control it, it just 

makes it a lot harder on 

Maddie,” she said. 

The family did not expect 

to be able to find a kidney 

match in New Zealand. 

They were planning a

Hinkley case: ‘I’m not saying anything’ 

THE MAN who said police 

accused him of murdering his 

neighbour Richard Hinkley is 

now refusing to talk publicly. 

The Star revealed last week 

police believe Mr Hinkley, who 

disappeared two years ago, could 

have been murdered, a property 

had been searched and a suspect 

identified. 

Mr Hinkley, who was 49 when 

he disappeared, was last seen 

at Kiwibank in Edgeware on 

December 12, 2015. 

Dion Louvain Lawrence was 

arrested by police in December 

and charged with stealing from 

Mr Hinkley’s home. 

Lawrence told news media 

after The Star article was 

published, police had accused 

him of taking a laptop from 

Mr Hinkley’s Madras St flat 

next door, and pawning it after 

he reported him missing in 

February 2016. 

When The Star visited 

Lawrence at his flat on Tuesday, 

he would not open the door 

and said he had nothing more 

to say. 

“I would rather not say anything,” 

he said. 

Last week, Lawrence told news 

media: “They did over my flat, 

kicked me out for two days, dug 

up my garden and went through 

everything, took half my stuff 

away.” 

Detective Inspector Corrie 

Parnell said last week calling the 

case a homicide investigation 

was premature and there were a 

number of persons of interest in 

what was still a missing person 

inquiry. 

Mr Hinkley was 1.84m tall, 

and of solid build, and had a 

shaved head when he was last 

seen. He often wore a beanie or

dark pants, a black T-shirt with

and a blue peaked cap with a

There have been no sightings 

of Mr Hinkley reported since he 

went missing and police are not 

aware of any bank or electronic 

transactions in that time, a police 

spokeswoman said. 

It is understood Mr Hinkley 

was an only child and lived with 

his parents until they separated 

when he was 17. 

His father now lives in Australia 

and his mother died in 

2011.

Crash victim trust seeks funding 


• By Bridget Rutherford 

A MEETING was held yesterday 

to discuss funding options 

for the charitable trust which 

organises a remembrance day to 

honour those killed in crashes on 

Canterbury roads. 

It comes after the city council 

rejected its funding application 

last year. 

The Road Traffic Accident 

Trauma Charitable 

Trust applied for $56,500 

last year to run its annual 

Road Accident Remembrance 

Day, as well as 

several other projects. 

It required about 

$15,000 for the November 

4 remembrance day. The 

remainder would have 

gone to its counselling and 

support services, an awareness 

campaign, and the establishment 

of a paid full-time general manager 

role. 

City council staff categorised 

its application as a lower priority 

than others. 

In September, city councillors 

approved more than $1 million 

of funding for projects from its 

2017/18 Strengthening Communities 

Fund, but the trust was 

not one of those. City councillor 

Aaron 

Keown 

Aaron Keown, who is the MC for 

the remembrance day, said yesterday’s 

meeting was attended by 

trust representatives, himself and 

city council transport operations 

manager Aaron Haymes. 

“It was a discussion on what’s 

the best way forward for them 

to get funding. How could we 

potentially support the event?” 

Cr Keown said. 

“We didn’t even talk 

about figures yesterday.” 

Trust founder Sarah 

Dean said the city council 

approached the trust 

because it wanted to support 

the remembrance 

day. She said at the 

meeting specific funding 

strands were identified. 

“The trust is not 

government-funded and solely 

relies and proactively seeks sponsorship, 

grants and donations 

to assist with its operational 

expenses.” 

Ms Dean said it was “disheartening” 

when funding 

applications were declined, but 

it worked hard to ensure its operational 

expenses were covered 

through other funding. 

Cr Keown was the MC for the 

event because his mother Laureen 

Reilly was killed when a boy

racer crashed into the vehicle 

she was in on Main North Rd in 

May 2008. He said it was “disappointing” 

and “embarrassing” 

the city council had not provided 

financial backing to the trust. 

City council head of 

community support, governance 

and partnerships Lester Wolfreys 

said last year’s application, which 

was categorised priority three, 

met the criteria, but to a “lesser 

extent” than those in priorities 

one and two. 

Other organisations to receive 

grants from the fund included 

priority two Gap Filler, which 

received $7500, priority one 

Volunteering Canterbury with 

$40,000 and the priority two 

New Zealand Vegetarian Society 

Christchurch Branch, which got 

$6750. 

“Whoever had decided the 

priority on it didn’t know the 

value of the event and the work 

the trust does throughout the 

year,” Cr Keown said. 

The remembrance day in 

Hagley Park honours those 

killed on Canterbury roads the 

year prior, crash survivors, and 

those involved in post-crash 

recovery and responses. 

Ms Dean set up the trust after 

she survived two crashes. It also 

offers counselling, advocacy and 

advice for those impacted by 

road accidents. 

At the last year’s remembrance 

day, Mark Moore spoke of how 

he lost his 15-year-old daughter 

Lily in a car accident near 

Leeston on Boxing Day 2016. 

The crash also killed two of his 

daughter’s friends.

sponsorship for the

Airport mural not ‘small time’ for 

Street artist Guy Ellis has gone by the name 

Dcypher since 1995. While he’s made a name for 

himself internationally, Christchurch is still one of 

Ellis’ favourite canvases. Julia Evans reports 

GUY ELLIS’ work has featured 

in television shows NCIS, Silicon 

Valley and Sons of Anarchy. 

But the Christchurch-born 

street artist known as Dcypher 

said even now painting murals 

at the city’s airport doesn’t seem 

“small time.” 

Ellis has been back in town 

from Los Angeles where he has 

lived for the past decade to work 

on a series of murals outside 

the Christchurch International 

Airport with street art group Oi 

YOU! 

It was in the United States 

where he was offered the opportunity 

to work on a graffiti 

mural for Fox’s hit show Sons of 

Anarchy. 

CREATIVE: Christchurch-born Guy Ellis has been working on an Oi YOU! mural at the city’s 

airport. 


STREET: Ellis’ Sons of Anarchy mural was painted on a papier 

mâché wall and blown up.

widely-recognised graffiti artist 

“They blew the walls up with 

dynamite so we had to paint two 

– there were two takes at blowing 

my work up,” he said. 

Another career highlight was 

heading to Dubai to paint a 

portion of the world’s longest 

graffiti wall, which is 2km long, 

for the Guinness Book of World 

Records. 

“It was a false wall in the shape 

of the United Arab Emirates. 

There were hundreds of artists 

there from all over the world,” he 

said. 

Including some of Ellis’ long 

time idols that inspired him to 

take up the art form. 

“That was a highlight. Working 

with some of the super famous 

guys from New York who 

pioneered street art on subway 

trains.” 

But with the city’s street art 

boom following the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, Ellis has been 

spending more and more time at 

home. “You’re doing a good job at 

pulling me back,” he said. 

Ellis and Oi YOU! co-director 

George Shaw have spent long 

days and nights working on the 

murals that feature pohutukawa, 

hector’s dolphin, and the Canterbury 

Plains on benches and 

DESIGN: Ellis’ work features on walls from the side of the Wharenui Swimming Pool and Sports Centre in Riccarton to the world’s

planter boxes outside the departure 

terminal. 

Some nights they’ve been there 

until 1.30am and back by 7am, 

Mr Shaw said. 

But Ellis assures that this 

doesn’t feel “small time” compared 

to his work overseas – a lot 

of his work is scattered around 

the city, including a mural on the 

side of the Wharenui Swimming 

Pool and Sports Centre in Riccarton. 

“It’s just as fun and it’s 

important. Especially after 

the earthquake,” he said. 

“Christchurch is always going to 

be my home.” 

Mr Shaw said he and Ellis were 

given three reference points by 

the airport to base the concepts 

for the murals on. “Our airport, 

our city, our island.” 

The bench murals are one of 

several collaborations between Oi 

YOU! and the airport. Ellis will 

be back later in the year to start 

work on the second piece.

Museum buys polar explorers medals 

CANTERBURY Museum has 

acquired medals and two diaries 

belonging to Tryggve Gran, the 

Norwegian skiing expert on the 

British Antarctic Expedition. 

The museum successfully bid at 

auction in London for four medals 

awarded to Gran, who died 

in 1980, and two of the journals 

he wrote during his time in 

Antarctica. 

It paid £105,000 for the medals 

and diaries, which have recently 

arrived in Christchurch. 

In addition to the Polar Medal 

Gran was awarded in July 1913 

as a member of the expedition, 

the museum has acquired three 

medals awarded for his service in 

World War 1 – the Military Cross 

(UK), the Legion of Honour 

(France) and the Order of the 

Crown of Italy. 

Museum director Anthony 

Wright said it was pleased with 

the price it paid for the items, and 

they were of world-wide interest 

and importance. 

“Tryggve Gran’s medals and 

diaries contribute to the museum’s 

knowledge of the ill-fated 

expedition and this chapter of 

Gran’s fascinating life as an explorer, 

aviator and author.” 

Chosen by Robert Falcon Scott 

POLAR HISTORY: Tryggve Gran’s Military Cross (left) and 

Polar Medal with one of his diaries. (Right) – Gran on April 13, 

1911. PHOTO: HARRY PENNELL COLLECTION, CANTERBURY 

MUSEUM 

as an ace skier to train men on 

the journey south, Gran was the 

youngest member of the 1910- 

1913 expedition. He was one 

of the 13 expedition members 

involved in laying the supply depots 

needed for the Polar Party’s 

attempt to reach the South Pole 

in 1911. 

In November 1912, he was 

part of the 11-man search party 

that found the tent containing 

the bodies of Scott and his two 

remaining companions. 

Gran used his skis to form 

a cross over their grave. He 

travelled back to the base at Cape 

Evan wearing Scott’s skis, so at 

least they would complete the 

journey. While the Polar Party 

had been on the journey to the 

South Pole, Gran took part in a 

geological expedition to the western 

mountains. Before leaving 

Antarctica, he climbed Mt Erebus 

in December 1912 and Aoraki/ 

Mt Cook in New Zealand on the 

way back to Britain in 1913. 

After his Antarctic experience, 

Gran became a keen aviator, 

serving with the Royal Flying 

Corps during WW1. He claimed 

to have shot down German ace, 

Hermann Göring, in a dogfight, 

although this was not proven. 

When Norway was occupied 

by Germany during WW2, Gran 

became a member of the Nationalist 

Party. 

While Gran was tried and sentenced 

to 18 months in prison for 

treason after the war, there has 

been speculation he feared reprisals 

for fighting against Germany 

in WW1 and, as a result, his Nazi 

sympathies may not have been as 

clear cut as previously supposed. 

Gran’s son Hermann said his 

father lived a very “full life”. He 

gave lectures on polar history 

and aviation well into his 80s and 

“was a bit upset” when he had to 

give up driving at the age of 87, 

he said.

Polo comes to Hagley Park 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE SPORT of kings is coming 

to Hagley Park for the first time 

in almost 30 years. 

The Armstrong Prestige 

Hagley Park Polo tournament 

starts on Sunday. 

The free event is the brain 

child of New Zealand polo 

player and event owner, Jimmy 

Wood, whose father Roddy runs 

the Waireka Polo Centre in 

Sefton. 

Jimmy and his two brothers 

play professional polo. Event 

organiser Sophie Gardner said 

the Wood family had dreamed 

of returning the sport to Hagley 

Park and had finally got the goahead 

from the city council. 

“We’re super excited. There’s 

been a lot of rain which has 

been good for the ground. And 

we’ve got our fingers crossed the 

weather is going to be fine.” 

It will be part of a two-day 

invitational tournament. Hagley 

Park will host the tournament 

finals on the second day. 

Miss Gardner said there 

would be marquees and 

hospitality tents along one side 

of the playing fields while the 

other side would be available for 

the public to come and spread 

a blanket, bring a picnic and 

TRADITIONAL: Professional player Jimmy Wood will 

compete in the Armstrong Prestige Hagley Park Polo 

tournament at the weekend. 

enjoy the free entertainment 

in the park’s green and leafy 

surrounds. 

With 16 polo players from 

as far afield as Australia and 

Uruguay competing, each 

bringing nine ponies, there 

would be about 140 ponies all 

up at the event. 

Armstrong Prestige dealer 

principal John McKenzie said it 

fitted nicely into the city’s social 

calendar. “Christchurch needs 

an annual event that the public 

will get behind. It’s early days, 

but we think this could become 

one of Christchurch’s premiere 

events.” 

Mr McKenzie said he had 

attended a couple of similar 

events in the past. 

“I went to one in November 

last year and it’s surprising 

how many people get behind 

it. It’s quite glamorous and I 

think it will go well in 

Christchurch.” 

Miss Gardner said people 

didn’t need to own a polo pony 

to enjoy the spectacle. 

“It’s a really nice summer 

social occasion. We don’t want 

it to be exclusive – it’s in a public 

park and the more people we 

have the better the atmosphere.” 

The subsidiary polo final will 

begin at 12.30pm. 

At 1.30pm, The Club 

House Marquee Lunch will 

take place, and there would be 

entertainment on the field for 

those in the public area. 

At 2.30pm, there will be a 

team player parade, followed by 

the grand-final at 2.45pm. 

During the final’s half-time 

break, the traditional divot 

stomping will happen and the 

Veuve Clicquot Best Dressed 

Awards will be presented. 

After the final, the prizegiving 

will be held at 4pm. 

Miss Gardner said the plan 

was to hold the event every year, 

and grow the sport. 

“Our dream is to have quite a 

significant prize pool to attract 

international teams.” 

Roundabout 

rabbits spared 


RABBITS THAT gained quite the 

audience for living in the middle of 

busy roundabouts in the red zone 

have been spared – for now. 

More than 20 rabbits, some of 

which are black in colour, have 

been spotted on the roundabout 

at Anzac Drive, Travis and Frosts 

Rds, and the junction of Anzac 

Drive and New Brighton Rd. 

But they caused traffic concerns, 

with motorists driving slowly to 

look at them and others parking 

and crossing Anzac Drive to get to 

the roundabout. 

In November, the New Zealand 

Transport Agency said the highway 

maintenance team was looking to 

put a rabbit control operation in 

place to deal with the safety issue. 

That may have included culling 

the rabbits, or catching and 

releasing them elsewhere. The idea 

sparked outrage, with many saying 

to leave the bunnies alone. 

But it appears the bunnies will 

likely be able to live out their days 

on the roundabouts. 

“At this stage, the transport 

agency is not proposing to do 

anything about the rabbits which 

are sometimes seen on the state 

highway roundabouts through 

Brighton/Burwood,” an NZTA 

spokeswoman said.

Missy turns up on the web 


POLLY, FRANCES or Missy. 

Whatever her name, if this 

duck could talk, she would have 

a quacker tale to tell. 

After going missing for about 

three weeks, the muscovy duck 

was reunited with her Mairehau 

owner Gail Reeves. 

But little did Ms Reeves know 

her Missy had become someone 

else’s Polly long before that. 

The fouryear-old 

fowl 

had spent so 

much time 

in the stream 

that runs next 

to Merivale’s 

Webb St, she 

became a 

street pet. 

Barry Helem 

Webb St 

resident 

Vanessa Irvine said the duck 

had been there most days since 

December 2014, when ducklings 

hatched at neighbour’s were 

released into the stream. 

Residents named her Polly, 

and fed her every day. 

But in September, she went 

missing. A resident saw a woman 

gently pick her up from the 

stream and walk away with her. 

POPULAR: The SPCA posted a video of the duck on its 

Facebook page to try and track down its original owners. 

“She had been there for such 

a long time I just thought, ‘oh 

where’s she gone?’” Ms Irvine 

said. 

“Not that she’s ours, but we 

kind of felt like she was. She was 

kind of like a pet to us.” 

Ms Irvine said initially the 

street wanted to know where she 

went and if she was okay. 

She was surprised Polly and 

Missy were the same duck, as 

she was at Webb St so often, and 

didn’t appear to fly. 

Although they were sad about 

not seeing the duck again, at 

least she was at home being 

looked after, Ms Irvine said. 

SPCA southern region general 

manager Barry Helem said a 

concerned person picked Missy 

up thinking she was owned and 

missing and asked the SPCA to 

collect her. 

After posting a video of 

the duck, which staff named 

Frances, on its Facebook page 

and Pets on the Net, the SPCA 

received a tip she may belong to 

a Webb St address. 

“Our staff visited the block of 

units at the address provided 

GOOD TIMES THIS 

SUMMER 

and door knocked. Of the eight 

units, only one person answered 

and stated there was a duck that 

has been in the area and is fed 

by the neighbours but is not 

technically owned,” Mr Helem 

said. 

“The original owner then came 

forward to claim the duck.” 

Ms Reeves, who owns several 

muscovy ducks, turkeys and 

chickens, said she was grateful 

the Webb St residents helped 

look after her. 

“I noticed she had gotten a bit 

fatter. 

“She’d fly in and out, I couldn’t 

control her so when I got her 

back I clipped one wing.” 

She said Missy was full of 

personality, and now had two 

ducklings. 

“She dances and bobs her head 

from side to side. It’s like dancing, 

she’s like a little rapper.” 

It’s not the first time one of Ms 

Reeves’ pets had gone missing. 

She was reunited with her cat 

Thomasa 16 months after she 

went missing during the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

Thomasa, originally known as 

Thomas, later featured in Quake 

Cats: Heartwarming stories of 

Christchurch Cats. 

$223k for 

museum bug 

collection 

CANTERBURY Museum has 

been awarded $223,095 for a 

project to catalogue and provide 

access to 140,000 invertebrate 

specimens. 

The money was granted by the 

Lottery Grants Board for the second 

stage of the project. 

Museum research fellow Peter 

Johns has collected the specimens 

over 57 years. The nationally and 

internationally-significant collection 

includes craneflies, weta, 

millipedes and centipedes from all 

over New Zealand. 

In 2015, the first phase of the 

project was awarded a $203,852 

lottery grant. The project team 

is on track to catalogue 70,000 

records by March and the aim is to 

catalogue the second 70,000 specimens 

over the next two years. 

The data, information and 

specimens will be made available 

to universities, research organisations 

including Landcare and 

NIWA, the Department of Conservation, 

Ministry for Primary 

Industries and regional councils. 

Museum director Anthony 

Wright said the collection would 

add to the current knowledge of 

the status of the country’s invertebrate 

fauna.

Off-duty 

officer’s 

suspicion 

leads to 

arrest 


AN OFF-DUTY police officer’s 

eagle eyes led to a 23-year-old 

man appearing in the district 

court on Friday. 

Nicholas Folster, 23, was arrested 

in Papanui at about 11.30pm 

on Thursday after the officer spotted 

him acting suspiciously on 

Matsons Ave. 

The offduty officer reported it 

and police arrived and arrested 

Folster. 

He appeared in the district 

court on Friday charged with 

three counts of entering a building 

without authority with the 

intent to commit an imprisonable 

offence in that building. 

The alleged offending happened 

on Matsons Ave and Aorangi Rd, 

Bryndwr. 

Judge John Brandts-Giesen 

remanded Folster in custody 

without plea until tomorrow for a 

bail application hearing. 

THRILLERS are the 

most popular books with 

Christchurch library users, led 

by British author Lee Child’s Jack 

Reacher novels. 

Three Child novels feature in 

the top five fiction “checkout” 

list, which also includes Paula 

Hawkins’ The Girl on the 

Train and No Man’s Land by 

David Baldacci. 

Child’s Night School holds the 

top spot. “Readers love a good 

thriller, enjoying the intricacies 

of a developing plot and all the 

twists and turns,” said city council 

libraries content manager 

Anne Anderson. 

“These most read lists provide 

our staff with greater insights 

into the interests of library users, 

so we can best meet their reading 

needs.” 

For the younger readers, 

Suzanne Collins still rules the 

library shelves with three books 

– The Hunger Games (No 1), 

Catching Fire (No 3) and Mockingjay 

(No 5) – in the top five 

young adult section. 

“The dystopian novels of 

Suzanne Collins are much loved

Our People 

Bev Morel 

Great grandmother still winning titles 

NATIONAL CHAMP: Bev Morel relaxes at her Redwood home 

with husband Peter. 


Bev Morel showed age is no barrier at the recent national bowls tournament in 

Dunedin, winning her third national title at the age of 76 with good friend Sherrie Cottle. 

Andrew King speaks to her about life on and off the green 

Tell me about winning your 

third national crown? 

It was most unexpected, we 

didn’t think we would win the national 

title. Sherrie played amazing 

bowls. We had agreed we 

would take it one game at a time. 

In the first round, we played Sandra 

Keith and Serena Matthews, 

who are also from Christchurch. 

We won but we didn’t expect to. 

From then on it was one game at 

a time. As the tournament went 

on and we progressed through 

more and more rounds, we 

thought maybe it is our turn to 

get through. We played last year’s 

winners in the final, Dale Rayner 

and Ashleigh Jeffcoat. They had 

played great bowls to get there. 

Fortunately, my lead [Sherrie] 

played outstanding and we combined 

to pull it off. We were both 

very excited and I was exceptionally 

happy for her, it was her first 

title. We had come runner-up a 

few years back in the fours. It is 

still sinking in but we are both 

over the moon. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but 

you stepped down from the 

national scene a while ago? 

I stepped down from the 

Canterbury representative team 

about two years ago and carried 

on playing socially and in 

national tournaments. There are 

a lot of young people coming on 

and I thought it was time to step 

aside. 

Do you still get nervous 

before a tournament, even after 

competing for almost 37 years? 

I was very nervous playing the 

first game against Sandra. As 

the games went on I got relaxed. 

I was very relaxed in the final. I 

thought ‘win or lose, we’re in the 

final’ and so it allowed me to play 

such a nice relaxed game. Sherrie 

played so well so it allowed me to 

just played my game. 

Do you have any rituals before 

competing? 

No, not really. I do go to sleep 

the night before saying ‘I will 

play good bowls, I will play good 

bowls.’ That way I convince 

myself I will play well. Win or 

lose, as long as I play well, I’m 

happy. The biggest fear we had in 

this tournament was getting 

thrashed. We didn’t want that to 

happen. No one wants a hiding. 

And clearly, it worked. 

Have you thrown the bowl 

with the bias the wrong way 

before? 

Yes, I have done it in a New 

Zealand final in the women’s 

fours. I was at my first nationals, 

which I won in 1995. Once you 

have done it, it is gone. I just told 

myself I had to play the next 

one well and rolled a toucher so 

I redeemed myself. If someone 

does it we have a bit of grin and 

say bad luck. Usually, we have a 

shout. Depending on what they 

drink, it is usually wine, spirits 

or beer. 

If a shout was coming your 

way what would you request? 

Kahlua or a riesling wine. 

What do you look for in a 

playing partner? 

With nationals, I always play 

with friends and teammates from 

the club and, if we are compatible, 

we just keep playing together. 

Sherrie has come and gone from 

our club and I have played a lot 

with her. I have played with my 

sister, Terresa, when we won the 

fours in 2006 and I still play with 

her in the fours. •Turn to page 20

Morel won’t be ‘giving up anytime soon’ 

•From page 19 

What has kept you playing 

bowls for so long? 

I love the game, meeting people, 

making friends and contacts. 

I retired last year and you need 

something to keep you occupied 

and it has been a fantastic interest 

for me. Keeps me out of the 

housework. I have a wonderful 

daughter that helps. 

Where did you work? 

I was a nurse’s assistant at Burwood 

Hospital for the last 19 and 

a half years. I loved every minute 

of it. It was fantastic. 

Tell me about your fitness regime 

to stay in match condition? 

I go to the gym three of four 

days a week for about 40min a 

time. I haven’t been since I got 

back from nationals. But I will 

get back into it. If you leave it too 

long, you will feel it. I don’t put 

as much practice in, I used to 

practice every day. We are playing 

three to four times a week 

now so we don’t need to practice 

too much. I take a week off before 

nationals to get fresh and ready 

to roll. 

Tell me a bit about your 

family? 

Well, I am married to my 

husband Peter and we have four 

children – Darryl Morel, 50, 

Susan Dickson, 54, Debbie Morel, 

55, and Kevin Morel, 56. I have 

five grandchildren and three 

great-grandchildren. 

There must be some talented 

bowlers in that clan? 

None of them play. Kevin 

played for a few years before he 

got married. He is playing golf 

now. He played in the nationals 

with Peter in the pairs and fours 

in 2016. I have had one granddaughter 

down the green when 

she was 11 or 12 and she was a 

natural. But they are not interested 

in playing. 

You won a national title in 

Dunedin in 2006, but that 

crown has a special meaning for 

you doesn’t it? 

My brother died while we were 

at the tournament and he told us 

to go down and win it for him. 

So that will always have a special 

meaning. It was just the best. I 

will never forget it. We couldn’t 

come home not winning that. I 

missed his funeral but we won 

the title. 

Obviously you have your No 1 

fan and husband Peter supporting 

you, tell me about him? 

He is absolutely amazing, especially 

in Dunedin this year. He 

drove us everywhere, looked after 

us. He got soaked one day taking 

our bowls to the car. We had just 

finished playing and it rained 

heavily and he got drenched. He 

had to head back to the house 

we were renting off a friend and 

change his clothes. He has been 

so supportive over the years and 

we have played a lot together in 

tournaments. It is a really special 

relationship. 

Is it true his legendary scrapbook 

detailing your success over 

the years started as a school 

project by one of your nieces? 

My granddaughter, April, 

Debbie’s eldest daughter, started 

PLAY TO 

WIN: Bev 

Morel in

Dunedin.

BOWLS NZ 

it as a project for school at about 

age 11. I had absolutely nothing 

to do with it. 

Well, you won the titles. 

Well, that is right. 

Bowls has a bit of a reputation 

for some fairly decent gettogethers 

after the matches, 

have you ever been to a function 

that got a bit too rowdy? 

Rowdy, yes, out of control, no. 

There have been a few drinks 

over the years. In the younger 

days probably a bit more. We 

have slowed down on the drinking, 

not on the greens, though. 

Who is the best player you 

have competed against? 

Millie Khan, from Matamata. 

She has passed on now but played 

for New Zealand for a number 

of years. Her daughter Jan Khan, 

has also played for New Zealand. 

They were a formidable pair. Jo 

Edwards from Nelson, who now 

lives in Australia, has played 

for New Zealand and won a lot 

of titles before. She is the top 

bowler in New Zealand. We were 

probably fortunate we didn’t have 

to play her at nationals. 

Are there any big rivalries in 

bowls around Canterbury? 

All the top bowlers know each 

other, we have played together 

a lot. There is a lot of good 

friendship built through good 

hard competitive bowls. Once it 

is over, it is over. We are all good 

mates. You know you are both 

playing your heart out and who 

wins, wins. It is disappointing 

when you lose, but you pick 

yourself up and go try again. 

Finally, how much longer 

are you planning on playing 

competitively? 

Probably until I stop enjoying 

it. When I can no longer walk 

properly and can’t bowl, I will 

give up. So I have no plans of 

giving up anytime soon.

A letter to our community. 

Thank you to our wonderful staff and to all those helping us following the recent devastating fire 

at the GELITA NZ plant in Woolston, Christchurch. 

There were four people on site at the time of the fire and fortunately no one was hurt. 

The fire has caused major structural and electrical damage, primarily in our processing area, and 

the food manufacturing areas of the plant. Our first job is to clean up, now that the fire and 

insurance investigators have given us the go ahead. 

The clean-up operation will include the removal of partially processed beef hide from the site over 

the next three or so weeks. During the removal, there will unfortunately be increased odours at 

some stages of the day. 

We are keenly aware of our near neighbours and will work very hard to keep the impact to an 

absolute minimum. Despite our best efforts, we expect that there will be spikes in odour while the 

partly processed material is treated and removed. It’s a huge job. 

But, once the material is removed, the source of the odour will have been eliminated. 

We are grateful for your patience and understanding while we undertake this work and we 

apologise for any short-term effect this may have on our local community. 

GELITA NZ takes beef hide, a by-product from meat works, extracts the collagen, and turns it into 

gelatine powder for use in a broad range of industries including the food, beverage, health and 

pharmaceutical sectors. 

While the fire has been a major setback for GELITA NZ, the plant was fully insured and our parent 

company has established a support team in Germany to help us through this period of uncertainty. 

Our customers are being serviced by the wider GELITA group while we plan for our future. 

We remain positive. GELITA NZ employs 60 staff and a further 300 indirectly. About three-quarters 

of our high quality gelatine is sent overseas. 

There is no doubt that we face a difficult period but we will continue to work hard for our future.

School preparation 



With Christmas and New Year’s 

celebrations now a distant memory and 

summer holidays drawing to a close 

its time to start preparing for the year 

ahead and getting your kids organised 

for school. 

If your little ones are starting a new 

school you’II be getting them measured 

up for their new school uniform or 

making a trip to the book shop to stock 

their backpacks. 

New timetables and routines are best 

set in place in the couple of weeks 

leading up introduce earlier bedtimes 

and gradually wake the kids earlier 

each morning to ease them back into a 

healthy sleep wake cycle. 

Serving meals at home which are in line 

with what the school timetable dictates 

is also a good way to get your kids back 

into the rituals schools demand and 

helps accustom the little ones adapt 

before the school year begins. 

Setting up a calendar in a central 

location in the household will make 

sure each family member is on the 

same page when it comes to carpooling 

and extracurricular activities.

Bamford school 

Bamford School welcomed their new 

principal Shona Hewlett to the school in 

term 3, 2017. Shona brings with her a 

wealth of experience having successfully 

lead two previous schools to a 4-5 year 

return from ERO. Shona is looking 

forward to the exciting times ahead for 

Bamford School in 2018. 

Bamford is a small school with a family 

/ whanau feel where everyone looks out 

for each other and the whole staff know 

all students and their families / whanau. 

Our staff work collaboratively to provide 

an education where strong values, high 

expectations and striving for excellence 

are at the heart of the curriculum. 

Our teaching and learning focuses on 

giving students real life experiences to 

raise achievement across all curriculum 

areas. 

There are many opportunities for 

our students to feel success in the 

arts, culture, sports, academics and 

leadership. 

We are a PB4L (Positive Behaviour for 

Learning) school which means we focus 

on rewarding positive behaviours. 

Our small class sizes enable us to 

focus on the individaul learning for all 

students. 

We look forwad to welcoming new 

enrolments for 2018. 

Junior GaTE 

Project : 

Community 

Action 

Back to 

The junior GaTE (Gifted and Talented) 

group at Mairehau High School has 

been working on a project looking at 

the needs of our community. One Year 9 

student, Caley Gopperth, chose to focus 

on the increasing rate of the homeless 

in our city. She began by looking at the 

idea of putting together an emergency 

kit. From there she researched what 

would be required and began pricing up 

all of the items. 

She wrote to a number of companies 

asking for support and donations. We 

are very grateful to The Warehouse, 

K-Mart, Cookie Time, Warehouse 

Stationery and Ferrymead Dental for 

their support. 

Caley also fundraised making and 

selling packs of cheese rolls and Thai 

pumpkin soup to the staff. 

Caley thought it would be best to work 

alongside the City Mission. She was 

lucky enough to be shown around the 

new City Mission by Gray Crawford, the 

Social Services Manager. He spoke with 

her about the backgrounds and needs 

of their clients. Caley was told about 

the new women’s 12-bed overnight 

refuge that is about to open. From this 

discussion Caley was able to make the 

decision to focus the backpacks and 

items on the needs of these women. 

Caley and her teacher, Ms Marshall, 

will be delivering the bags to the City 

Mission next week, who will then ensure 

they get to the right women. This has 

been a very successful and rewarding 

project for Caley.

We all know of course that a school is 

much more than its buildings, and a huge 

amount of work has gone into adapting 

how we cause learning. 

The Manaiakalani pedagogy (Learn Create 

Share), and the use of digital devices 

(Chromebooks) is having a huge effect on 

student achievement, with achievement 

surpassing growth and improvement 

nationally by a significant margin. We ask 

all students to come to school equipped 

with a Chromebook, apart from your time, 

there is little better you can invest in your 

child’s education than the purchase of that 

Chromebook. 

Junior students are increasingly 

approaching their learning via real world 

contexts (whether it’s the arts or business, 

or project based learning designed to 

improve our community in real ways). This 

is contributing to improved engagement 

and improved learning. 

We are a very values based school, and 

our students repeatedly show that they 

have a heart for our values, for their 

community, and for what is right. 

What an amazing year we are going to 

have.

2018 Pathways at Linwood College 

Education is about the well-being of the 

whole person and how developmentally 

positive experiences enrich our 

students’ understanding of who they 

are and broaden their outlook. They 

nurture students’ classroom focus by 

contextualising their learning and sowing 

the seeds of positive ambition. 

Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed 

curriculum’. This means the school, 

students and families knowing: 

1. Students’ prior learning and skills 

as they come into LC from our partner 

primary schools and building on these 

successes 

2. How the learning at LC connects to 

what the students want to do when they 

leave school. “What are my post-school 

pathways and how does my time at LC 

help me achieve these pathways?” 

In this way learning is meaningful to the

assists them in shaping pathways for life 

beyond school. Our careers team talk 

to our students and assist them to make 

decisions about their futures. 

The school has pride in its diversity and 

respects, understands and celebrates 

the things that make each of us 

unique. Every student should feel there 

is a place for them no matter what 

their ideas, their backgrounds, their 

orientations. 

Every student has individual talents, 

gifts and personal characteristics and 

behaviours and our job is to nurture 

and guide everyone to become the best 

version of themselves. 

I want all people at Burnside to feel that 

they are part of something bigger than 

themselves; and for the school to be a 

place that allows students and staff to 

thrive, be challenged, and become high 

performers. I want a culture where 

“excellence is not an act, but a habit” - a 

culture of high performance – no matter 

what talents we have been dealt. 

We offer a wide range of opportunities 

through quality learning experiences 

both inside and outside the classroom. 

We aim to engage, challenge and 

support our students to improve allround 

achievement and personal and 

interpersonal skills; all within a culture 

based on personal excellence and care 

for others. It is this culture underpinned 

by our values of respect, pride and 

excellence that underpins Burnside’s 

success. 

We believe that the culture of the school 

provides the basis for students to 

achieve, and to continue to achieve both 

at school and beyond the school. 

Our school motto - Recte sic dirige 

cursum – ‘Along this path direct your 

journey correctly’ is linked to the 

historical significance of our cabbage 

trees, Ti Kouka, (commas don’t isolate 

the phrase) that stand so proudly on our 

grounds. They are a landmark in the 

local landscape and have been used for 

centuries as a guiding point. 

Our hope and intent is that students 

will feel guided through Burnside High 

School - attaining the qualifications they 

are capable of and that they develop the 

personal qualities and confidence to 

choose the right pathways in life. Above 

all else enjoy the “cabbage tree years”. 

I look forward to working with, for and 

alongside students and staff in 2018.

Hilmorton High School 

At Hillmorton High School, a Year 7-13 

composite school, our students start 

their journey in Year 7 experiencing 

“Base Camp” for 17 hours each week 

where they learn advancing skills in 

Reading, Writing and Mathematics 

through and alongside an integrated 

curriculum. In their other eight hours 

they go to “Explore” classes taught 

by high school teachers. In Explore 

they experience the full curriculum in 

the Arts (Art, Music, Drama, Dance), 

Languages (Sign Language, Te Reo 

Māori, Japanese and Spanish), Science, 

Physical Education and Technology 

(Food, Textiles, Hard Materials, Digital 

Technology). 

The Explore choices narrow somewhat 

in Year 9 and again by the end of their 

Middle Schooling in Year 10. Our 

students narrow their choices based on 

what they love and what they are skilled 

at. Following this leads to meaningful 

Vocational Pathways in the Senior 

School and beyond. 

Renowned educationalist Ken Robinson 

talks about finding ones “Element” – the 

intersection of one’s talent and passion. 

At Hillmorton High School we nurture 

our young people, inspiring them to 

grow creatively and find their way in the 

world.

60 years old for 

Riccarton High 

Welcome to the new school year as 

Riccarton High School celebrates 

its 6oth year in existence. A special 

welcome to new students and their 

whanau. I certainly look forward to 

meeting you in the near future. 

You are about to become part of the 

Riccarton family; a wonderfully diverse 

school community which prides itself 

on instilling strong values through a 

genuine belief in the ‘Riccarton Way’ (the 

wairua or sprit behind the way we think, 

act and relate to others.) 

Riccarton High School offers a wide 

range of Academic, Sporting, Cultural 

and Leadership opportunities in 

addition to a unique Outdoor Education 

experience - all contributing to the 

creation of a well-rounded ‘Riccarton 

Graduate.’ In addition, our school motto 

- ‘Disce ut prosis ‘ which translates 

as ‘Learn that you may be of service’ 

emphasises the importance of serving 

the community in which you live. 

A strong focus is placed on the hauora, 

or well-being, of students and staff. 

Having effective tools to deal with 

the challenges that modern day life 

presents us with is an essential part of 

the Riccarton Way. 

In 2018 Riccarton High School is looking 

forward to increased access to digital 

technology with our BYOD scheme 

across both Year 9 and Year 10. By the 

end of 2020 this will exist across the 

whole school. The digital device we view 

as another important learning tool in 

a blended learning environment which 

enables our ãkonga to be fully prepared 

for further study or employment 

opportunities.

Christchurch Girls High 

Back to 

Last year our school was 140 years old 

and in that 140 year history we have 

never doubted what we stand for. We 

know what we are. From our beginnings 

in 1877 we have only ever been a 

purpose built school for girls. When our 

school first opened on that September 

day in 1877 who could have envisaged 

140 years later: three site moves, a 

number of earthquakes, 13 principals 

and a fabulous new building? In that 

time we have seen the move from ink 

pens to ball points, from blackboards 

to whiteboards to laptops. It makes you 

wonder what the future holds in store 

and how can you prepare for what may 

or may not be? At Christchurch Girls’ 

High School we work hard to build 

capacity in our students so that they 

are able to embrace the future with 

confidence. 

Students strive to pursue personal 

excellence on the sporting field, in 

cultural activities, through community 

service and academically. They do so 

with energy and enthusiasm, supported 

by an experienced, professional and 

caring staff. We are traditional in 

aspects such as uniform, courtesy and 

the high expectations we have of our 

students but innovative in the wide 

range of opportunities we provide both 

inside and outside the classroom. Hence 

our vision: Embrace Tradition, Embrace 

Innovation, Embrace Excellence. 

Education takes us from darkness into 

light. 

Kia tu ki tenei taumata – o te Whai Ao – 

ki te Ao Marama 

Kia mohio hei whakatuwhera mou 

Nau mai, Haere mai. 

So stand at this threshold – Te Whai Ao 

– The World of Light and know that it is 

open for you. 

You are welcomed. 

Christchurch Girls’ High School Te 

Kura o Hine Waiora looks forward to 

welcoming you in 2018.

Excitement building along 

with new campus 



Avonside 

Girls’ 

Seniors. 

Sue 

Hume 

Shirley Boys’ High. 

Enormous progress is being made in 

the construction of a new campus for 

Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley 

Boys’ High School. 

Some 5000 piles have now been driven 

into the ground at the site in QEII Park. 

The state of the art campus is on track 

to be opened for term two of 2019. 

Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume 

expects the campus will become 

a crucial asset for the east of 

Christchurch. 

“Residents in the east of Christchurch 

have long been calling for a new 

high school, and the new campus 

will be a place where the community 

is welcomed. Many of our facilities, 

including the sports facilities will be 

available for community use,” says Sue 

Hume. 

Among the facilities are a Performing 

Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre, a 

second smaller 

100-seat theatre and three full-sized 

indoor Gymnasiums. 

Shirley Boys’ Principal John Laurenson 

says the new school will be the ultimate 

campus for providing high quality single 

sex education. 

“We’ll still be offering all the benefits of 

a single-sex education, but our students 

will have the advantage of being able 

to learn and grow alongside students 

from our partner school, in what will be 

a truly incredible campus,” says John 

Laurenson. 

In the meantime, as work continues 

onsite, the schools are gearing up for a 

busy 2018. 

The schools will make New Zealand 

history in 2019 when they become the 

first two single sex schools to co-locate.

Viewpoint 


Back to 

Time to rebuild 

Like many other organisations in 

Christchurch, our campus has been 

broken and tested and if you visited 

the college, you would see the obvious 

effects of this – barren spaces at the 

top of the drive, temporary facilities 

installed to ‘make do’ – the most notable 

of these being our chapel. 

The demolition of the chapel seriously 

challenged us. It was the single most 

important building at St Bede’s College, 

and had symbolised the heart and 

soul of the College ever since the third 

Rector, Father Gilbert, converted it from 

the gymnasium in 1929. 

Makeshift holy places in the last 6 years, 

including the present facility, are a 

poor imitation and far from ideal. But 

we knew it was important to have this 

sacred space – a place where we gather 

in good times and in bad. 

The time has now come to build a new 

Chapel. 

After the hard years, there is real 

excitement and anticipation about 

the prospect of the rebuild which will 

significantly transform the campus. 

We have set a fundraising goal of $1.5m 

via our “A little from a lot” campaign. For 

more information about the campaign, 

please go to www.oldboys.stbedes. 

school.nz/chapelappeal 

St Bede’s is a College for all…a place 

where gospel values are practised to 

help form principled men; a learning 

environment where everyone achieves; 

a place that teachers want to come 

to because of the strength of the 

community; a place also, where boys 

can embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural 

and community activities, which all 

combined shape boys into men. That’s 

the priority and that is in our DNA. 

The number of crashes 

in the central city has 

reduced by 17 per 

cent since the speed 

limit was dropped to 

30km/h more than a 

year ago 

Sandy Chapman – I 

avoid the city now. It’s full 

of entitled cyclists (not 

all but 99 per cent) and 

pedestrians who don’t 

look where they are going 

– people taking selfies everywhere. 

The roads make 

no sense and there are road 

works everywhere. 

Lani Davidson – I actively 

avoid the city, even as 

part of my commute. This 

war on cars in the central 

city is a joke. It’s all well and 

good making it safer for 

pedestrians and cyclists, but 

some day when everything 

is fixed, how does the city 

council think people will 

get into the city in the first 

place? Oh that’s right, with 

a car that you can’t park 

anywhere because there’s a 

cycle lane in the way. 

Bridget Compton- 

Moen – Here come all 

the “I never go into the 

city because it’s a dump” 

comments. Your loss. It is 

so much better than it was 

before the earthquakes. 

I remember walking 

through Shades Arcade 

just before the September 

quake and every second 

shop was for lease. It 

was the saddest place ever. 

Yes, it’s a work in progress 

at the moment but there 

is always something new 

to see. Interesting how the 

people who actually work 

in the CBD love it. 

come a day when there are 

no road works. 

Leon Austin – It’s 

made it more dangerous 

as pedestrians and cyclists 

seem to think everywhere 

is a pedestrian/cycle lane 

and take no notice of 

cars. I’ve lost count of the 

amount of times I’ve had 

to slam on my brakes to 

stop running someone or 

a cyclist over who casually 

walk out/cycle out into the 

middle of the road. 

Barb Thomsen- 

Britten – Sadly, I think 

more folk avoid driving 

through the city. I would 

not shop there as parking 

costs are horrific. Malls are 

free. I once shopped readily 

in the city. 

POSITIVE: 

The lower 

speed 

limit in the 

central city, 

such as on 

Montreal St, 

has reduced 

the number 

of crashes 

and injuries 

in the first 18 

months since 

the change. 

PHOTO: 

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

Sally Lane – Does the 

city council want people 

in the central city? Don’t 

go there. We live and 

shop north of Waimak. 

Rangiora and Kaiapoi has 

everything we need. 

Rob Fey – I spend more 

time waiting at lights than 

actually moving, and I still 

see more cars than cycles, 

you can make as many 

cycle lanes as you want it’s 

not going to force anyone 

to ride them. 

Tanya Didham – Never 

understood why there is 

so much bike-hate in this 

flat, easy-to-bike-around 

city? I’m too scared to ride 

a bike in town because 

of all the terrible drivers,

CITY 2 SURF TRAINING PROGRAMME 

WEEK TWO: Starting out 

In week 2 you will extend the time of your sessions by a fraction. The challenge is to keep the intensity 

controlled. There is no need to get really puffed and tired. Remember the talk test. If you exercise with 

others the talk test comes automatically. If it is just you, talk to yourself but perhaps not too loud!….We can 

divide what we call the submaximal pace up in 3 zones. 

1. Easy: this is a pace where you are not too puffed and the talk test is not even a test. At this stage this 

is the zone you spent most of your time in as it will give you some initial conditioning without the risk of 

soreness or muscle strain 

2. Steady: this is slightly faster than easy; it can also be called a “firm” pace. It takes a bit more effort to 

talk but you can still form sentences without having to take an extra breath 

3. Moderately hard: this is the pace where you need that extra breath to finish your sentence. You can still 

talk and jog at the same time but it becomes more laborious so you tend to shut up and concentrate more 

on your rhythm and holding your pace

To achieve this goal you need to 

develop some awareness around the 

basic requirements of exercising for 

health and fitness. First and foremost 

this has to do with 3 key principles: 

1. How often do you train? To improve 

your level of health and fitness you will 

need to aim for 4 sessions per week. 2 

or 3 sessions per week will only maintain 

what you have and 1 session per week is 

definitely not sufficient. 

2. How long are your sessions? The 

duration of your sessions will generally 

build towards between 30 and 50 minutes 

with one longer session of 60-80 minutes. 

3. What is the right intensity to train at? 

The good thing about the programme 

is that all your runs will be done at 

submaximal pace, also called conversation 

pace. That means a pace where you can 

still talk. If you can’t talk you are going 

too fast and you are likely to come to a 

grinding halt sooner or later. 

This programme and accompanying information are 

written as a guide only. If you are concerned about 

your health at any stage please undergo a health 

check with your GP. 

TIP OF THE WEEK 

Make sure you have comfortable 

footwear. This will help your enjoyment 

and prevent injury. There are a few 

specialised sport shoe wear shops in 

Christchurch where the sales people are 

trained in assisting you to make the right 

choice. Comfort is an important part of 

your choice and only you can feel that. If 

you have issues with your feet you might 

decide to consult a podiatrist to get more 

professional advice regarding the best 

footwear for you.

QUICK: The Christchurch Boys’ High men’s open eight won gold at the Canterbury champs and will look to build on that for the Maadi Cup.

Rowers gear up for Maadi Cup 


SCHOOL rowing crews have 

one eye on the Maadi Cup as 

they build towards the South 

Island championships on Lake 

Ruataniwha in Twizel. 

After the first “blowout” of 

the season at the Canterbury 

championships in Twizel at the 

weekend, crews quickly got back 

on the water to improve before 

the South Island regatta on 

January 27-28. 

The Maadi Cup, the biggest 

school regatta of the year, will be 

held in Twizel from March 19-24. 

Christchurch crews won 10 

golds at the Maadi Cup regatta 

last year, with St Andrew’s 

College winning the coveted boys 

under-18 eights ahead of Christ’s 

College. 

Christchurch Boys’ High head 

coach Logan Keys said while 

there were some tired bodies after 

a big camp in Alexandra days 

before the Canterbury champs, 

HARD YARDS: Rangi Ruru rowers jumped straight back into 

training after a strong outing at the Canterbury champs. (Right) 

– The women’s eights lined up ready to race.

the sport was about putting in 

the hard yards. Their training 

paid off with CBHS winning 

eight golds at the champs – which 

included a blistering time of 

6min 13.42sec to win the men’s 

open eights – as well as three 

silver and three bronze medals. 

“This is our building phase of 

the season. We are pretty happy 

with where we are at right now,” 

Keys said. “We will start to firm 

up some combinations for Maadi 

in the next few regattas,” he said. 

Last year at the South Island 

champs, CBHS crews took home 

gold in the men’s club coxed 

four, boys under-17 eights, boys 

under-15 coxed octuple sculls, 

boys under-16 coxed four, men’s 

novice eights, boys under-15 

eights and men’s open eights. 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

director of rowing Mark Cotham 

said the whole squad jumped 

straight back into training after 

the Canterbury champs and were 

looking good. “The work rate 

of the seniors right down to the 

juniors has been great. We are 

putting in the ground work and 

mileage now with one eye on 

Maadi,” he said. 

Rangi Ruru also had a 

successful outing at the weekend 

with six golds – two of which 

came in the women’s novice 

eights and intermediate eights – 

five silvers and one bronze. 

At the South Island champs 

last year, Rangi Ruru won gold 

in the girls under-16 coxed four, 

girls under-17 coxed four, girls 

under-15 eights, girls under-17 

eights and women’s under-19 

eights.

Miya doesn’t drop a 

shot to sweep field 


RUSSLEY’S Hiroki Miya did not 

drop a shot when he powered his 

way past 108 of the country’s top 

young golfers to win the North 

Island under-19 championship in 

Hamilton at the weekend. 

Miya didn’t register a single 

bogey through 54 holes on his 

way to an eight-shot victory. 

Rounds of 68, 68 and 67 to 

finish at 13-under even had the 

17-year-old in awe of himself, 

describing the win as the perfect 

start to the year. 

“It was pretty cool to string 

together rounds like that,” said 

Miya. 

“I haven’t won by that kind 

of margin in a big tournament 

before. Everything was on and all 

parts of my game came together.” 

Australia is the next destination 

in Miya’s journey towards one 

day turning professional. He will 

play in the Avondale Amateur in 

Sydney starting next Tuesday. 

It will be the biggest amateur 

tournament Miya has played 

in, with entries for the amateur 

ranking event from as far as 

England and Switzerland. 

Following the tournament in 

Sydney, Miya will return home 

where he hopes to qualify for 

the New Zealand Open with the 

first stage of qualification at the 

Christchurch club on January 

29. 

Sensei’s group one bid 


THREE-YEAR-OLD Sensei 

will revert to sprinting in a bid 

to win his first group one race 

in the time-honoured Telegraph 

handicap at Trentham on 

Saturday. 

Trainer Michael Pitman says 

the colt’s wide barrier draw (13) 

“isn’t the best in the world” for 

the $100,000 1200m race. 

Pitman was hopeful Sensei 

would deliver him an elusive 

group one win in the 2000 3YO 

Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton 

in November. But he finished 

fifth. 

At his most recent start, Sensei 

was caught wide and overraced 

in the group one Levin 

Classic (1600m) on Saturday. He 

finished eighth. 

Pitman, who trains the colt 

with his son Matthew, believes 

the Telegraph distance will better 

suit Sensei. 

“He raced really keen in the 

1600m race on Saturday so it’s 

in our mind to run him back in 

the 1200m,” said Pitman. 

“This the best distance for 

him. Danielle Johnson is riding 

him. He’s only got a light weight 

and he’s very well in himself so 

SENTIMENTAL: Sensei will continue to look for his first group 

one win at Trentham on Saturday. 

we’re happy with where we’re 

at.” The colt is named after Pitman’s 

late son Jonny, who took 

his life four years ago. Jonny 

was a black belt in judo, hence 

the name Sensei. 

However, this weekend 

will be a normal routine for 

the trainers, with Matthew 

travelling to Trentham and 

Pitman going to the Gore 

meeting. 

“It’s just the way it works out. 

I’ll be scrambling to find a TV 

when the race in Trentham 

comes around,” said Pitman.

Explore the salt mines of Hallstatt 

ISOLATION: Hallstatt is ripe with outdoorsy 


ANCIENT HISTORY: Access to the Salzwelten salt mining operation is by funicular railway. Have fun on 

• By Mike Yardley 

DO A Google image search 

of Hallstatt and you’ll 

notice that it’s one particular 

perspective, looking 

long across the length 

of the slender village, 

strung along a shoe-string 

peninsula, pricked by lofty 

church spires, that sings 

out loud. 

Wedged between the 

edge of Lake Hallstatt and 

the towering Dachstein 

mountains, Austria’s oldest 

– and arguably most photographed 

village – hovered 

like a mirage, as I neared it. 

It is insanely quaint, achingly 

beautiful and home to 

just 800 residents. 

High above Hallstatt, in 

the upper valley, one of the 

greatest eye-openers was to 

take a journey back in time 

to the origin of salt production. 

Salzwelten is situated 

high above the town on 

the 1030m Salzberg (Salt 

Mountain). You can access 

this remarkable attraction 

aboard a funicular. 

My first stop was at Rudolf’s 

Tower, which serves 

up dreamy views from this 

old fortification, built over 

700 years ago to defend 

the mines against invaders. 

It’s been joined by the 

Sky Walk, built four years 

ago, consisting of a sprawling 

platform that juts off 

the mountainside, with a 

sheer drop to the rooftops 

of Hallstatt, directly below. 

The starring attraction, 

however, is the 7000-year- 

a 64m wooden slide that miners used on the job. 

old salt mine itself. 

It’s the world’s oldest 

known salt mine, with 

archaeological evidence 

proving they were mining 

the salt from this mountain 

in 5000BC. 

Since salt is such an 

excellent preservative many 

of the early miner’s tools 

like pick axes and ladders, 

found within the mine, 

have withstood the ravages 

of time. By 800BC, the 

hardy miners were penetrating 

as deep as 200m 

into the mountain, carving 

out tunnels by hand, to 

reach the vast deposits of 

“white gold.” 

The greatest discovery to 

date was the “Man in Salt”, 

the corpse of an ancient 

miner, mummified in salt, 

who is believed to have 

perished during a major 

workplace accident in 

1000BC. 

His preserved body 

was found in 1734 and 

he was laid to rest in the 

local graveyard, 2700 years 

after dying. Within the 

mine, I marvelled over the 

magnificently preserved 

wooden staircase that was 

built in 1344BC. The tourist 

experience takes you 

through two levels, using 

the wooden slides that the 

miners actually used on 

the job. Riding these 64m 

slides must have been the 

fun part to their daily toil. 

Back down in town, I 

paid to visit to St Michael’s 

Chapel’s Bone House. 

Dating back to the 12thcentury, 

the rather macabre 

draw is the hundreds of 

artistically painted skulls 

on display. Hallstatt’s shortage 

of available land meant 

the graveyard was always 

in hot demand and after 

several years, an existing 

grave was reused for a new 

burial. Over 30,000 entries 

have been logged in the 

church death registry. 

Given Hallstatt’s glorious 

sense of alpine isolation, 

the area is ripe with outdoorsy 


Backdropped by the 

Dachstein mountains, the 

peaks play host to skiers 

in winter and hikers in the 

warmer months. Some will 

take you up close to glaciers, 

including the stunning nature 

walk on the Echerntal 

Trail, which many a romantic 

poet and painter have 

swooned over. The mountains 

are also famous for 

the spectacular Dachstein 

Caves, a network of caverns 

nearly 1200m deep.

The muscle car party continues again 

this year with the 28th running of the 

Muscle Car Madness Show in Rangiora. 

Competitors start rolling into town on 

the Thursday for a full-on, carnival-style 

weekend, which continues to be the South 

Island’s largest automotive event and one 

of the top three in New Zealand. 

The event kicks off with a downtown 

street party taking over Rangiora’s main 

street on Thursday night from 6pm till 

9pm. Live bands play during this time, and 

with shops open, stalls going on, and bars, 

restaurants and cafes serving the punters, 

it really “went off ” last year, the organisers 

say. 

Around 200 cars will 

be on display on the 

Thursday, and over 1200 

cars on the public days. 

Both days feature different 

cars and a two-day (public 

show hours) pass will be 

available at the gates on 

Saturday for $30. 

Friday is a day for the 

competitors and involves 

around 300 cars, with their 

drivers enjoying the North 

Canterbury scenery on 

the ‘Classic Cover’s Great 

Summer Fun Run’. This is a 

low-key event, with a lunch 

stop in the middle. 

The variety of cars on 

display is phenomenal. 

Street machines, muscle cars, restored 

classics and hot rods – whatever your taste 

you will find something to satisfy it. Many 

one-make car clubs have club displays to 

raise awareness of their club and attract 

new members. These include the Zephyr- 

Zodiac club, Falcon club, several Holden 

clubs, Corvette, Mustang, and even a large 

showing of Volkswagens. 

Another popular event returning this 

year is the South Island Van nationals, 

again being run by Vanz Unlimited. It is 

hoped the ‘Diesel Rat’, the latest creation 

from Bell-A-Rat customs, will make an 

appearance. This rolling piece of art is 

STOP PRESS 

Muscle Car Madness has just 

announced that three Summer 

Nats Aussie Burnout Cars are 

coming to Rangiora. Make sure 

you are there to check out the 

action on the pad!!!! 

powered by a twin-turbo 1350 horsepower 

diesel engine. 

Last year there were record temperatures 

on the Saturday and this year could 

be similar. It is hoped long waits will 

be avoided with an extra ticket booth. 

Remember, EFTPOS is convenient but it is 

slower than cash! 

On the music front there is the 

welcome return of the Flyin’ Saucers 

from Melbourne, new band Boom Boom 

Deluxe from Auckland (Saturday only), 

Brothers Grimm Sign of the Firebird (both 

days at the burnout pad), the Wingers, 

plus many more. 

There’s plenty to see for the whole 

‘Fun on the Run’ - the Friday cruise 

lets competitors enjoy their cars and 

see local attractions.

Trillo Metals presents the 

28th MUSCLE CAR MADNESS SHOW 

Rangiora Showgrounds, January 27 and 28 

music, & so much more 

family, including trade displays, craft 

stalls, a huge retro clothing section and of 

course the ‘Kabella Baby’ sponsored retro 

beauty competition taking place early 

Saturday afternoon. 

The burnout pad will start earlier on the 

Saturday this year at around 12 noon, with 

the finals being held on Sunday. 

So if you like perfect paintwork, 

gleaming chrome and the noise of highperformance, 

crisp-sounding V8 engines, 

this is the place to be. But don’t leave it till 

3pm Sunday to come to the show, or you 

will be disappointed. A lot of cars will have 

driven huge distances to get here and a few 

will start leaving early for the drive home. 

Lots of fun down the main 

street of Rangiora at the 

Thursday night street party. 

Over 50 young ladies 

competed in the retro 

beauty pageant. 

This magnificent car is 

known as a 1961 Chevrolet 

‘bubbletop’ Impala. 

This family-friendly show – don’t 

forget the children’s rides – is priced 

slightly differently this year, to hopefully 

speed up proceedings. Adults are $18, 

all kids under 15 are free, and a two-day 

pass for display hours only is just $30 

and available on Saturday at the gate.

Upper South Island travel guide 

PLAN YOUR JOURNEY – PICTON TO CHRISTCHURCH 

State Highway 1 (SH1) north of Kaikōura opened to daytime traffic 

in December, restoring the coastal highway link from Picton to Christchurch. 

The re-opening of SH1 gives people two viable options for travel around the 

upper South Island, with the alternate route (via state highways 63, 6, 65 and 7 

through Lewis Pass) remaining a reliable 24/7 option. 

IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU TRAVEL 

Check routes are open and 

get estimated travel times. 

For real-time travel information 

visit www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c 

or freephone 0800 4 HIGHWAYS 

(0800 44 44 49). 

Make sure you allow enough time for your journey, 

whichever route you chose. Unexpected events, such as a crash, 

high volumes of traffic, ongoing wet weather or seismic activity, 

can cause delays. Ongoing roadworks and reduced speed limits 

in places mean that it won’t be possible for you to make up time. 

Be prepared with food, water and a fully charged cell phone.

Do not rely on your GPS or Google Maps - 

things can change at short notice. 

WHAT TO EXPECT ON SH1 

Parts of the road will still be under construction, so there will be some 

unsealed sections, lane closures with Stop/Go controls and speed restrictions. 

There will be night closures (8.30pm – 7am) north of Kaikōura between 

Clarence and Mangamaunu, and between Goose Bay and Peketa in the south. 

Closure points will be monitored 24/7. 

Consider road closure hours before starting your trip and leave enough 

time to be clear of these sections so you can continue your journey. 

The opening hours are subject to adverse weather and seismic activity. If there 

is a lot of rain or another significant event, we may have to close the road for 

short periods of time. 

It’s important to remember the safety of those using the highway, and 

working on it, will always be our top priority. 

WORK HAS RAMPED UP IN JANUARY 

CHRISTCHURCH 

Following the road opening on 15 December, most of the work sites closed down to help 

with traffic flow over the busy Christmas period. 

The work programme is now back in full delivery which will have a significant effect 

on the coastal corridor. 

NZ Transport Agency Journey Manager Tresca Forrester says ‘It’s a balancing act to 

schedule the reinstatement work to have a minimal effect on travel time while also 

ensuring the work gets done. Drivers should now expect it to take at least 5 ½ to 6 hours 

to drive between Picton and Christchurch on SH1 but should allow plenty of extra time 

in case of delays. Check www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c for the latest information.’

* Conditions can 

change any time, so it 

is important to check the 

current status at least two hours 

before you travel and at key route 

decision points.

or freephone 

0800 4 HIGHWAYS 

(0800 44 44 49) 

BE ROAD COURTEOUS 

• No stopping on SH1 within the closure areas 

outside of designated stop bays. 

• Be patient and cautious. Road conditions 

will be unfamiliar to many drivers, 

so a little bit of patience will go a long way. 

• Follow all traffic signs and any instruction 

given by road crew. 

• Obey speed limits to keep all road users safe. 

• Stay focused around rail lines. Expect trains 

at any time. 

• Keep fresh by taking breaks and supporting 

communities on the route.

FrEE WEEKLY MAGAZINE 

in stands every Friday 

Volvo’s XC60 hits 

SUV market by storm 

• By Ross Kiddie 

VOLVO XC60: High values for safety and comfort. 

VOLVO’S XC90 has long 

been regarded as the 

perfect mid-to-large sport 

utility vehicle. 

There are no arguments 

there, it is the quintessential 

seven-seater and its success 

globally speaks for itself. 

However, its little brother 

also stands up to be counted, 

the XC60 represents 

much of what its stablemate 

commands, but is packaged 

as a five-seater only. 

The XC60 would be the 

car for me, and in its latest 

iteration it is an absolute 

stunner. In saying that, I’m 

not really an SUV buyer, 

but sometimes a car just 

screams out perfection, and 

for that reason it’s hard to 

ignore the XC60. 

The Volvo distributor 

here has taken the XC60’s 

arrival seriously. The range 

is comprehensive, there 

are five variants on offer, 

including a hybrid, and 

a huge range of colours. 

Prices range from $84,900 

to $94,900. 

The test car was a badged 

D5 and carried R-Design 

specification extras. In 

this form the XC60 is an 

absolute gem, it has build 

quality, features and performance 

to envy. Sure, its 

price tag of almost $95k is 

a little prohibitive for the 

family buyer, but what you 

get on the series is stunning. 

Over the years I’ve 

written many times of my 

affection for air suspension, 

and the way the XC60 rides 

and drives is spectacular. It 

has that float-on-air feeling 

along with the other 

benefits of that system – 

ride-height adjustment and 

the ability to absorb uneven 

surfaces. 

I’m not saying the XC60 

is an off-roader, but it does 

get four-wheel-drive and 

it will tackle gentle crosscountry 

tracks with dignity 

and aplomb. 

Under the bonnet sits a 

twin-turbocharged, 2-litre 

diesel. Don’t let the D5’s 

nomenclature fool you, 

this engine isn’t one of the 

legendary five-cylinder 

designs of years gone by, it 

is, in fact, a four-cylinder 

unit and makes up for any 

disappointment with its 

amazing power outputs – 

177kW and 500Nm. 

Volvo also claims a 5.5-litre 

per 100km (51mpg) 

combined cycle fuel usage 

average. 

The latter is not surprising, 

most modern diesels 

of this size will present you 

with figures in that area, 

and that is reinforced by 

the 7l/100km (40mpg) 

figure showing on the 

evaluation car’s fuel usage 

readout during my time 

with the vehicle. That along 

with a 5l/100km (56mpg) 

instantaneous figure sitting 

at the legal limit with the 

engine turning over freely 

at 1600rpm. 

• Price – Volvo XC60 

D5, $94,900 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4688mm; width, 

1902mm; height, 

1658mm 

• Configuration 

– Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

1969cc, 

177kW, 500Nm, eightspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 

5.5l/100km 

While these figures 

are impressive, take into 

account the areas where 

peak power is realised 

(4000rpm) and the flat 

torque curve – 1500rpm to 

2500rpm – and you have an 

engine which delivers solid 

power from anywhere in 

the rev band. 

Drive is channelled 

though a conventional 

eight-speed transmission, 

and together the two elements 

provide immediacy 

and fluid drive. 

As a guide to performance 

the XC60 in this form will 

lunge to 100km/h in 7.1sec 

and will complete a highway 

overtake in 5sec, the midrange 

boost is something 

wonderful; at road speed 

the XC60’s diesel engine is 

stroppy and forceful. 

That’s the reason why I 

like the traditional 2-litre 

diesel, it has boost and 

torque like nothing else, 

it is vibrant to drive yet 


doesn’t lose sight of the 

need to promote healthy 

fuel usage statistics. It is 

also wonderfully quiet in its 

delivery. 

Why I remarked earlier 

about the suspension is 

that the XC60 has handling 

manners other manufacturers 

must envy. The XC60 is 

wonderfully balanced for 

a 1.65m-tall vehicle, body 

movement is negligible 

and the suspension always 

seems composed. 

The R-Design model 

has huge wheels and they 

are fitted with some of 

the world’s most desirable 

tyres – Pirelli PZero. At 

255/40 x 21in, there is a lot 

of rubber on the road and 

there’s never a point where 

you feel like the tyres are 

struggling, corner turn-in 

is accurate and steering 

feedback delightful. 

While the XC60’s allround 

performance is 

remarkable, it must be 

remembered it is built with 

the Volvo values for safety 

and occupant comfort. It 

is also a true champion 

in that area with a high 

level of fitment and a layout 

which is clean aesthetically. 

I particularly like the large 

central screen which is a 

hugely intuitive iPad-like 

device and is the driver for 

most of the in-cabin functions. 

The XC60 range is quite 

extensive, not only do you 

get conventional engines 

and transmissions, the 

hybrid will be the basis for 

when the company scales 

back production of internal 

combustion engines 

and focuses on hybrid and 

electric vehicles sometime 

after 2019. 

In the meantime, it’s 

fantastic cars like the XC60 

and others from the Volvo 

stable which will continue 

to lure buyers, simply 

because of its quality and 

rewarding driving experience.

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

Regular watering and garden management is critical for plant health 

during the hot summer months. Adding a thick layer of mulch around 

plants will help prevent soil moisture evaporating. Avoid watering 

during the hottest part of the day when plants are heat stressed; 

instead water in the early morning or evening. 

QUESTION 

I need some advice and tips for using 

planter boxes for my vegetables (tomatoes, 

lettuce etc). How often should I water and 

fertilise? Am new to this! Plus, what’s the best way to deter the local 

cats from using my planter boxes as their toilet? 

Today’s winning question came 

from Candice Johnson. Congratulations! 

We have a Daltons Garden Mulch Pack to giveaway. 

Each pack is valued at over $85 and contains: 

• 3 x Daltons Mulch & Grow 

• 3 x Daltons Nugget Bark 

• 4 x Besgrow Coir Briquette 

• PLUS a pair of comfortable, 

versatile Red Back gardening 

gloves from Omni Products 

(www.omniproducts.co.nz) 

$85 

PRIZE 

PACK! 

z 

Depending on the position of your planter 

ANSWER boxes, they will need to be watered regularly 

and thoroughly in the height of summer; 

possibly every second day. We presume you have used good quality 

potting mix and/or container mix which is purposely designed for 

growing vegetables in planter boxes. 

Most container mixes have nutrients included, but with regular 

watering and plant uptake, these readily available nutrients are used 

up over time. Therefore, apply side dressings of Daltons Goldcote 

Vegetable and Herb Fertiliser every 2-3 weeks throughout the 

summer months. 

In order to keep cats out of your garden, it may be necessary to 

enclose your garden in some chicken mesh supported by stakes that 

are high enough to allow suffi cient room for the veggies to grow, while 

preventing the animals from accessing the growing plants. There are 

some products on the market which are meant to deter cats from 

entering parts of the garden through their pungent odour. You might 

wish to try these and experiment for yourself. 

For more information and expert advice, check out our How to Grow 

Summer Vegetables guide at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides 

Product to try: Daltons Garden Time Planting Mix 

• By Henri Ham 

BEAUTIFUL bupleurum – that’s 

a bit of a tongue-twister. If you’re 

not sure how to pronounce it – it’s 

boo-pler-um. 

This pretty plant, which is sold 

under the ‘flower’ category, is actually 

a herb. But unless you have 

experience in herbal medicine or 

the like ingesting it isn’t recommended. 

These days, bupleurum 

is more commonly grown to add 

colour and texture to gardens and 

for cut flowers – it lasts really well 

in a vase. 

It has beautiful eucalyptus-like 

leaves on tall stems with greenyellow 

flowers and grows to around 

80cm tall. It’s closely related to fennel 

and dill, and you can see why 

– they have quite a similar look 

due to the fact they are all umbelforming 

plants. 

What’s an umbel? This word 

comes from the Latin word umbella 

which you’ve probably guessed 

means parasol, sunshade – much 

like an umbrella. And it’s used to 

describe the short flower stalks 

which spread out from a common 

point on each stem – like the ribs of 

an umbrella. 

While there’s a bit of information 

you can learn about bupleurum, 

growing it is quite simple. 

It likes full sun and each plant 

should be planted around 40cm 

apart from the next. Once it’s planted 

it’s very easy-care and doesn’t 

attract many pests or insects. And 

will flower in around four to five 

weeks. 

It’s a short-lived perennial which 

means if you live in an area that 

gets frosts you will probably get one 

flowering from your bupleurum. 

But if you live in a frost-free area 

of New Zealand, you should get 

two or more flowerings out of your 

bupleurum. 

Regardless of where you live, if 

you’re lucky, when they’ve finished 

flowering they may self-seed and 

pop up again the next year.

Smarter HomeS 

Infiltrating every arena of our lives, technology aims to make our lives better. 

Greater efficiency, economy, comfort, and safety are cornerstones of the 

technological advancements that are constantly being imagined and developed to 

make our homes a haven from, and connected to, the outside world. 

Biometric fingerprint security systems, key 

cards, and voice-activated lighting were once 

only seen on the seemingly fantastical movies 

of 20 years ago. Today, however, they have all 

come to fruition on the home front, the realm 

of possibilities seems limited only by one's 

imagination. 

Smart home technology has filtered 

through all aspects of our lives, which 

promises greater comfort, safety, economy, 

efficiency, and overall enjoyment of the world 

in which we live. 

Smarter building materials, smarter 

architectural design, smarter appliances, 

and smarter software systems that offer fully 

integrated multi-sensory platforms are being 

envisioned and created faster than we can get 

our heads around how to operate them. 

So, what is your home missing that 

could deliver optimal comfort beyond your 

wildest dreams? For those of us who spend 

long periods away from home on business, 

remote-access security cameras are becoming 

a popular commodity. 

Cameras placed in and around your home 

can be controlled and viewed via a remotely 

connected device so no matter where you are 

in the world you can have peace of mind that 

when you return everything will be just as 

you left it. 

Home security systems can also welcome 

you home at the end of every day with 

intelligent preset computer modules. On your 

approach the garage door opens, the driveway 

is sufficiently illuminated and the alarm 

system is deactivated. 

Home & Property appears 

every Thursday, delivered FREE 

throughout Christchurch

When receiving visitors, automated 

lighting can be activated above the door 

when the buzzer is pressed and crystal-clear 

video monitors now give you the ability to 

zoom in with touch-screen controls and 

developments in sound technology are able 

to negate background noise for optimal audio 

communication. 

Smart temperature control is a valuable 

piece of technology to give you greater 

comfort inside. 

Sync the controls to your mobile device 

so you can activate the heating or air 

conditioning on your way home from the 

office so it’s the perfect climate on your 

arrival. Smart temperature control systems 

give you total control over power and fuel 

consumption, heating and cooling your home 

efficiently and economically. 

Automated lighting is another smart 

feature that is becoming more and more 

commonplace in households around 

the world. Easily integrated into existing 

homes, most automated lighting systems are 

controlled from a central panel or via a smart 

mobile device. 

LED lights enable you to control colour, 

brightness, and efficiency, depending on the 

mood and task at hand, while automated 

controls can even make adjustments based 

on changing conditions like occupancy or 

daylight availability, saving money in the long 

run. 

Whatever the future holds, it promises to 

change the world as we know it.
