Leaflet
campaign
as dispute
widens
• By Julia Evans
STRIKING PORT workers have
put pressure on Lyttelton Port
Company’s board of directors by
targeting the neighbourhoods
they live in.
Leaflets were dropped in letter
boxes yesterday which read: “We
thought you would like to know
that one of your neighbours [director’s
name and address] is embroiled
in an industrial dispute
with the Railway and Maritime
Transport Union. We want you
to know the facts about why the
RMTU workers are on strike.”
Those targeted were port company
chairman Trevor Burt and
board members Don Elder, Bill
Dwyer, Brian Wood and Malcolm
Johns, who live in Tai Tapu,
Fendalton, Avonhead, Harewood
and the central city.
Said RMTU organiser John
Kerr: “It’s about getting these
directors to know what they’re
responsible for.”
He said the leaflet drop was to
draw the directors’ attention to
how “poorly managed” LPC is.
But the neighbourhood of LPC
chief executive Peter Davie was
not targeted.

YOU GET the feeling the
dispute between the port
workers and their bosses is going
to heat up.
Striking workers and union
officials met yesterday (see page
1) as they discussed tactics and
other matters.
Union organiser John Kerr
could clearly be heard saying:
“We’re not going to cock this up,
we’re going to win.”
The tactic of dropping leaflets
in the streets where the port
company’s directors live is an
interesting one.
Said Kerr: “We don’t go on
strike at the drop of a hat. We’ve
been pushed into it, this is the
first time in 14 years,” he said.
On the other side of the fence
the port company looks determined
not to meet the union’s
demands.
Its operations manager Paul
Monk said the Railway and
Maritime Transport Union is
asking for an “unfair” advantage
over the other major port union,
Maritime Union of New Zealand.
It won’t be like 1951 but the
pot is starting to boil.

canyoning in the Arthur’s Pass

Angus Taylor said the husband
was winched out and taken
to the Arthur’s Pass National

“He wasn’t saying much, but
you would expect that, he had

Her body was winched out
by the helicopter crew after
a police officer had been sent

Mr Taylor said he believed
the couple were due to head
back to Australia, where they

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills

at canyoning and had
just done a course in the Abel

Old Skellerup
site now
home to
scrap metal
company
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE WOOLSTON site where
the Skellerup factory operated for
a century is being used by a scrap
metal company.
National Steel is operating
out of the Garlands Rd site with
crushed cars piled up on the site.
Rubber goods maker Skellerup
moved out in 2016 to new $60
million premises in Wigram.
It had operated at the Woolston
site for a century. But its buildings
were damaged in the February
22, 2011, earthquake, and the
decision was made to move to a
new factory in Wigram.
The site was sold ‘as is where is’.
Auckland-based National Steel
buys scrap metal, processes and
sorts it, before selling it on.
Linwood Ward city councillor
Yani Johanson said it began operating
a couple of weeks ago.
He said there had been some
concern within the community
about the potential noise the site
would generate. But he said it was
an industrial area, so there would
likely be few restrictions.
$8m boost from Lions visit
• By Bridget Rutherford
MORE THAN $8 million was
injected into Christchurch’s
economy when the British and
Irish Lions roared into the city
last year.
A PwC report, commissioned
by the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment
released this month, showed the
city took in $8.3 million when
the Lions visited in June.
The report also said the tour
created the equivalent of 100 jobs
in the city.
It comes before the city is set
to host one of its largest sporting
events ever, the Christchurch
Casino Golden Oldies Sports
Celebration 2018, next month.
Christchurch’s AMI Stadium
hosted a match on June 10 during
the tour where the Lions beat
the Crusaders 12-3 in front of a
sold out crowd.
International airfares made up
$2 million of the total economic
contribution, $1.3 million in
domestic travel, $2.2 million in
accommodation, $1.5 million in
food and beverages, $0.3 million
in attractions and activities, $0.1
million in retail, and $0.9 million
in hosting and leverage.
That added to $8.3 million.
The report said on the day
PATRIOTIC: British and Irish Lions fans helped boost Christchurch’s economy during the tour
last year, when AMI Stadium hosted a match between the tourists and the Crusaders.
PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER ​
of the match there were 37,551
guest nights in Christchurch,
1956 international visitors and
5369 domestic visitors.
Sixty-three per cent of those
who bought tickets were from
Christchurch, 27 per cent were
from other parts of New Zealand,
while 10 per cent were from
overseas.
Of those who watched the
Crusaders v Lions match on
television, the report said 11 per
cent were in Britain and 24 per
cent were from Ireland.
Auckland gained the most
benefit from the tour with $67.9
million spent there. The tour
boosted the national GDP by
$194 million and created an
extra 2500 jobs.
ChristchurchNZ attraction
general manager Linda Falwasser
said the Lions tour brought
“significant economic benefit”,
as would next month’s Christchurch
Casino Golden Oldies
Sports Celebration.
She said participants and supporters
were coming from all
over the world and expected to
stay a minimum of seven nights.
“Major events such as the
Golden Oldies are a great opportunity
for Christchurch to share
our city with the world.”
More than 10,000 people will
come for the event, which will
run throughout April, combining
10 sports. It is estimated to
bring $33 million of direct economic
benefit to Canterbury.
The Lions toured New Zealand
over June and July playing 10
matches against provincial
teams, the Maori All Blacks,
New Zealand Provincial Barbarians
and the All Blacks.

Striking workers target port company directors
•From page 1
“He’s overseas . . . he earns
$18,000 a week and he’s not in the
country when his workers go on
strike,” said Mr Kerr.
“The directors need to ask
themselves what value for money
they’re getting for the $18,000
they pay Peter Davie.”
Before the leaflet drop about
half of the 200 striking port
workers met in a packed St Mary’s
Anglican
Church in
Heathcote
Valley to
formalise their
action.
The RMTU
workers are
striking over
John Kerr
LPC’s three
per cent pay
increase offer.
The strike began at midnight
on Tuesday and will run until
Sunday.
The Star was not allowed into
yesterday’s meeting. But Mr Kerr
could be heard saying: “We’re not
going to cock this up, we’re going
to win.”
Mr Kerr told The Star before
the meeting the strike was
the union’s last resort to have
its voices heard for working

conditions to be improved.
“We don’t go on strike at the
drop of a hat. We’ve been pushed
into it, this is the first time in 14
years,” he said.
He said many union members
were suffering, but most were
prepared for “the long haul”
if negotiations were not
successful.
“We’re ready to meet . . . it
wouldn’t take much. But now
I’m worried they’ve alienated
these guys so much, the
relationship is so damaged
that it could have an impact on
productivity for months.”
Mr Kerr said other events were
planned including rallies and a
concert in Lyttelton featuring The
Eastern.
LPC operations manager Paul
Monk said RMTU is asking for
an “unfair” advantage over the
other major port union, Maritime
Union of New Zealand. Members
of MUNZ accepted a four per
cent pay increase but also changes
in roster.
Mr Monk said LPC has made
a “generous” offer to the “wellpaid”
RMTU workforce.
“We want to stop the enormous
disruption the RMTU strikes will
have on shipping lines, importers
and exporters.”
He said the offer of a three per
cent pay raise and no changes
to the roster is only one per cent
less than their MUNZ colleagues
received.
The port company had
scheduled 10 ships to come this
week, but most were re-routed
due to the strike.
•Nurses from the New Zealand
Nurses Organisation joined
the striking port workers at the
meeting in Heathcote Valley.
NZNO industrial services
manager Cee Payne said they
were there to show solidarity for
other union workers.
“There’s no strike action for
us on the cards at this stage,” she
said.
However, nurses are in
negotiations with district health
boards around pay increases
and working conditions. Voting
on whether to accept a revised
collective agreement between
nurses and DHBs closes
tomorrow.

‘Don’t cut bus routes’ – Dalziel
• By Bridget Rutherford
Steve
Lowndes
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has
a message for Environment
Canterbury – don’t cut six bus
routes just yet.
She and the city council will
ask ECan to find other ways
to plug the $4 million funding
shortfall, possibly through a
two-year
targeted rate
increase.
“I acknowledge
that there
is a funding
shortfall and
that ECan has
no more public
transport
reserves to fall
back on. But
there is more than one way for
ECan to address that,” Ms Dalziel
said in her weekly column
for The Star.
Ms Dalziel and city councillors
will finalise a submission
on ECan’s draft long term plan
today urging it to keep the
routes for two years while the
Regional Public Transport Plan
is finished.
The Regional Public Transport
Plan, due to be finalised in
November, will introduce a new
bus network within two years.
NO DEAL: The city council is urging Environment Canterbury
not to cut six bus routes.
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
“In the short term, council
strongly urges Environment
Canterbury to investigate additional
financial options (or
increased utilisation options)
while the transition to the new
public transport network occurs
over the next two years,” the
draft submission said.
ECan announced last month
it was considering cutting six of
its lowest performing bus routes
to plug a funding shortfall,
prompting outrage. It asked for
feedback.
The routes included the 107,
108, 135, 145, 150 and 535.
Ms Dalziel said the city council
would recommend ECan put
a two-year targeted rate in place
to manage the shortfall while
the Regional Public Transport
Plan is done.
“Personally, I believe that NZ
Transport Agency should have
intervened to provide additional
short term subsidies rather
than allowing this piecemeal
approach to what is a network of
bus routes.”
ECan chairman Steve
Lowndes said ECan asked
NZTA for an additional subsidy
but got a “negative response.”
“We’re bending over backwards
to find a solution which
doesn’t have a catastrophic effect,”
he said.
“We now sit down and listen
and the message we’re getting
is this is not a popular move.
We’re stuck between a rock and
a hard place because we can no
longer subsidise these routes out
of our own money.”
He said a two-year targeted
rate would increase rates to
above six per cent, which they
were trying to avoid.
NZTA regional relationships
director Jim Harland said it
and ECan had a responsibility
to ensure they were investing
“wisely” to public transport.
“Looking closely at these
routes indicated they were
unlikely to increase their
patronage and that it would
mean an increase on the local
rates and the Transport Agency
subsidy.”
Public transport is funded
from an NZTA subsidy, bus
fares and ECan rates.
Patronage has never recovered
following the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
The city council also opposed
ECan’s plan to reduce the total
mobility subsidy.
Consultation closes on Monday.

Orbiter
patronage
in decline
A STEADY decline in patronage
on the Orbiter has been attributed
to a regenerating central city.
A staff report to Environment
Canterbury’s greater Christchurch
public transport joint committee
regarding Metro bus patronage
for the last three months said
the route has seen a decline since
mid-2015.
“This may be an effect of changes
in trip-making patterns as people
move back onto radial routes into
the city,” the report said.
With the loss of the central
city following the February 22,
2011, earthquake, the Orbiter,
which takes passengers through
suburbs, via shopping centres, had
a significant boost in passenger
numbers.
“In the post-earthquake years
the Orbiter was the mainstay of the
network, with substantial increases
in patronage from the pre-earthquake
base,” the report said.
In November 2010 the Orbiter
carried 175,000 trips while in November
2017 it carried 190,000.
The route is responsible for 17
per cent of the entire network’s
trips.

Record number of team entries make City2Surf
• By Andrew King
THE 44TH Star Media
City2Surf attracted a record
number of team entries within
the 10,000 strong turnout on
Sunday.
One hundred and seventy
teams took part – 40 more than
last year.
Event manager Vanessa
Fleming said the combination of
perfect weather and enthusiastic
runners and walkers made the
day a fantastic success.
Fendalton’s Indermohan
Kaur was the lucky entrant who
won the return flight for two to
London courtesy of Singapore
Airlines.
She was running with the
Placemakers team in the 6km
event.
Star Media chief executive
Steve McCaughan said it was
fantastic to see a great event
enjoyed by all.
“I would like to give a big
thank you to all the sponsors
who made it possible, but
especially to all the Star Media
team who worked tirelessly to
make the event a success. I am
very proud of their efforts,” he
said.
“It was great to see so many
Cantabrians turning up to
participate in this iconic event.”

THE “RICH” and “eclectic”
history of the lane that ran
between The Press building
and Warners Hotel will be
documented where the buildings
once stood.
The city council is working
on a project to transform Press
Lane, which runs between
Gloucester St and Cathedral
Square, in a bid to get more
pedestrian movement through
the central city.
Artist Grace Duval has been
working on the designs for the
lane which will reflect its history
and association with the daily
newspaper. It will be finished
late next month.
City council urban regeneration,
urban design and heritage
acting head Carolyn Bonis said
the project will draw on the
lane’s “rich history.”
She said images will be put on
the wall of the substation next
to the lane which will portray
“denizens and signs from the
eclectic history of Press Lane.”
“These will be brought
together as if in an album of the
thoroughfare’s memories and
will be displayed on the wall of
the adjoining building,” she
said.
PHOTO: KETE CHRISTCHURCH
“The footpath will bear the
motto of the lane’s namesake
resident, The Press newspaper,
‘Nihil utile quod non honestum’,
which translates as ‘Nothing is
useful unless honest’.”
Press Lane was blocked
off with an iron gate at the
Cathedral Square end for
security reasons. For many
years, it had become a haven
for loiterers and other activity
from patrons of nearby fast food
outlets and bars.
Both The Press and Warners
Hotel buildings were badly
damaged in the February 22,
2011, earthquake, and later
demolished.
Ms Bonis said the $12,000
project would include
information panels.

Hot summer catastrophic for glaciers
Fire rages, homes at risk
CANTERBURY University
researchers monitoring glacier
mass have confirmed this
summer’s extreme heat has been
catastrophic for alpine glaciers.
A team from the university, led
by glaciologist and Geography
senior lecturer Dr Heather
Purdie, hiked into the Rolleston
Glacier in Arthur’s Pass National
Park for their annual end-ofsummer
glacier survey.
They found, as a consequence
of this summer’s extreme heat,
the Rolleston Glacier has lost
nearly all of the snow that accumulated
on it during the previous
year.
“This is likely the most
negative mass balance year ever
recorded on this glacier,” Dr
Purdie said
“Glaciers are great indicators
of climate change. This summer
was very warm and as a
consequence New Zealand alpine
glaciers are in very bad shape –
they have lost a huge amount of
snow and ice to melting over the
summer.”
Dr Purdie and adjunct geography
academic Dr Tim Kerr,
with the help of volunteers, have
regularly measured the Rolleston
Glacier since 2010.
Each year they hike into the
glacier at the end of winter and

snow on the glacier and surrounding slopes. The snow line,

again at the end of summer to
dig snow-pits, measure snow
depth, and install stakes that
measure how much snow and ice
melts off the glacier during the
summer.
This year the survey revealed
nearly all of the previous season’s
snow had melted off the glacier.
The team also recovered monitoring
stakes that had been buried
in the glacier back in 2014.
“This was significant as it
indicates that during this summer
not only has the glacier lost
all of last winter’s snow, but also
snow that had accumulated on
the glacier in previous years,” Dr
Purdie said.
“The only snow left on the
Rolleston Glacier was snow that
had avalanched down onto the

very dirty ice surface of the
Rolleston Glacier last week,
with no remaining snow. The
small cones of avalanched
snow can be seen at the very
extreme edges of the glacier.

glacier from the surrounding
mountain peaks. Without this
avalanche input, the glacier
would have had no snow left at
all.”
Although New Zealand has
more than 3000 glaciers, only
two have ongoing monitoring
programmes where the mass
balance, or health of the glacier,
is directly measured.
Data from this monitoring
programme contributes to
the World Glacier Monitoring
Database – a global data base of
glacier mass balance.
Climate change and
glacier retreat
•Glaciers are important
fresh water stores. They
are also provide a direct
measure of climate
change, growing and
shrinking in response to
cooling and warming. The
importance of avalanche
processes to the overall
health of the glacier is
something Dr Purdie
continues to research.
•Glaciers react quickly
to changes in climate by
adjusting the volume of
fresh water they store as
snow and ice. Globally,
glaciers are retreating and
research has shown that
New Zealand glaciers are
particularly sensitive to
temperature.
I.T. Careers
Q&A : Ryan Dobson
Ryan has battled with Dyslexia since he was
young and was called “stupid” at school by several
teachers. He wants those with dyslexia to know
that tertiary study and a great career are possible!
1. What words describe your
Computer Network Engineering
journey and why?
Exciting and challenging to learn about
constantly changing technologies, but also
scary in slowly finding out how much I
didn't know!
2. What did you think about your
Avonmore course?
Excellent, I have recommended it to two
other people - one of which now works in
the same team as me. I cannot speak highly
enough of it.
3. What did you like/enjoy about
the course?
5. What advice would you give to
other students?
Persist and keep learning. Even if it doesn't
seem relevant now, because it will
100% become relevant when you get into
the workforce.
6. What is your current employment?
Currently employed as a Level 2 Systems
Administrator for the largest insurance
company in the country, and I must say
there is no such thing as a normal day
- but I love it. You never know what might be
required for the day, or what system might
break down and need repaired. It's great as
it really keeps you on your toes and you
never stop learning!

"I came straight out of high school where I pretty much didn’t have any interest in
completing NCEA Level Two or Three and had stopped caring about school. Avonmore
kick-started my love of learning again and I’ve been on that path ever since, having
solid employment and always moving up in roles/my career to get to where I am today."
- Ryan Dobson
WHY AVONMORE?
It's a geeks dream, and Avonmore offers the
first component free so you can decide if it
is for you.
4. What did you find a challenge
and why?
Keeping motivated - some of the course
content can seem irrelevant or sometimes
too challenging (I did not cope well with the
coding component, I wish I had paid more
attention now!)
7. How do you feel Avonmore helped
you get this?
Avonmore gave me not only the knowledge
to obtain a role in the workforce, but also
helped me discover how I learn a skill that is
vital to anyone looking to succeed in IT.
8. Any further comments…..
I cannot recommend this course enough for
anyone who is thinking of starting a career
in IT. It has literally set me up for life – and
it’s MUCH cheaper than going to uni!

Partnership and
Interconnectivity
for a Better Future
SOLUTION: The city council has suggested ECan use a targeted rate to keep
six bus routes running.
Dalziel tells ECan how
it can save bus routes
THE CITY council
will be submitting on
Environment Canterbury’s
Long Term Plan.
Our submission focuses
on a number of issues, but
today I want to focus on
the proposed cutting of six
bus routes and reduction
of the amount that can be
subsidised for those who
use the Total Mobility
Scheme payments due to
disability.
I acknowledge that there
is a funding shortfall and
that ECan has no more
public transport reserves
to fall back on. But there
is more than one way for
ECan to address that.
Personally, I believe
that the New Zealand
Transport Agency should
have intervened to provide
additional short-term
subsidies rather than
allowing this piecemeal
approach to what is a
network of bus routes. But
it was not prepared to do
that, leaving ECan with
the problem to solve.
Under these
circumstances, we are
asking ECan to put in
place a two-year targeted
rate to manage the
shortfall these routes and
subsidy produce.
It seems more than
unfortunate that ECan is
required to do this given it
is about to start its review
of the Regional Public
Transport Plan, which will
be completed by the end of
the year.
I sit on the joint public
transport committee
which brings ECan, the
city council, the two
neighbouring districts
(Waimakariri and Selwyn),
Ngai Tahu, NZTA and
the Canterbury District
Health Board to the table
to provide broader input
into the statutory decisionmaking
process that sits
with ECan.
It has just been
announced that the draft
RPTP will be presented
to the joint committee for
approval to go to out for
public consultation on July
18. Public consultation
will take place between
August and September,
with public hearings in late
September. A final draft
RPTP is then approved
by the joint committee on
October 17 and the final
RPTP is adopted by ECan
in November.
Once the RPTP is
adopted, public transport
service reviews can
commence. This is the
process by which the
indicative network
structure adopted in the
RPTP is confirmed at
a street-by-street level.
This will involve further
consultation (early next
year) as detailed routes are
proposed. Once the exact
routes and levels of service
are confirmed, these will
Lianne Dalziel
be packaged into ‘units’
(groups of services) for
tendering.
It seems to me that this
is a much better process
for considering the
network as a whole, rather
than isolating ‘poorly
performing’ routes from
a fare box perspective,
and removing them now
under a separate ECan
LTP process without any
consideration given to
how other routes could be
used/extended to meet the
needs of those who rely
on the ones it proposes
scrapping.
I am not criticising
ECan. It has been left
between a rock and a
hard place by NZTA’s
decision not to give it a
grace period, in spite of
the RPTP review being
so close. I hope that our
submission, along with the
submissions of affected
residents, brings about a
change around the ECan
table. Submissions close
on Monday, March 26, so
please ensure you too have
your say.

The Lantern Festival
over last weekend
attracted huge crowds,
and the number of
people visiting Cathedral
Square has achieved
record-high since the
2011 earthquake. Despite
the complaints about
overcrowding, the event
could still be regarded as
quite successful with the
purpose of revitalizing
the city center and
bringing more color
to local urban life. The cheerful smiles on people’s face especially many children
while watching lanterns and performance are encouraging signs of enjoyment and
optimism.
This is my first time to attend Lantern Festival in Christchurch, and I felt at home
while walking along the traditional lanterns and smelling the flavor of Chinese
snacks. It was like standing in a typical festival temple fair in China rather than
in the middle of a Western city in South Hemisphere. Indeed, with the world
becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent in the globalized age,
we have witnessed exchanges of cultures and civilizations at an unprecedented
pace. And New Zealand has set a good example of multicultural diversity and
harmony. It was said that the Lantern Festival celebrated by East Asian countries
like China, Japan and Korea has some affiliation with Diwali in ancient India, and
both symbolize the triumph of brightness over darkness, the common aspiration
of mankind. Indeed, the interconnection and exchanges of civilizations have dated
back to history and will extend beyond the future. The different cultures have
enriched themselves during the process of exchanges, and mutual understanding
better achieved.
Chinese and New Zealanders also have many other things to celebrate together
besides the cultural galas. Our partnership has never been so close since the
establishment of diplomatic ties. China has become the largest trading partner
of New Zealand since 2013 with the annual trade volume reaching more than 24
billion last year, and the vast Chinese market is providing huge opportunities to
New Zealand enterprises large or small. It is quite easy to bump into a mandarinspoken
backpacker in Christchurch airport or a Chinese student in the UC
campus, as China has also remained as the largest origins of overseas visitors and
students of New Zealand for several years.
We have witnessed such strengthened partnership between China and South Island
in particular. We carried on the plan of opening a consulate in Christchurch in
the end of 2011 despite the occurrence of the earthquake. And Chinese people
have stood beside people of Christchurch through the years of reconstruction
and recovery. With the launching of new flight routes between Christchurch and
Chinese cities like Guangzhou and Hongkong, the interconnectivity between both
sides has been considerably enhanced, facilitating transportation of personnel and
cargo. As many are aware, Christchurch is not only gateway to South Island but
also gateway to Antarctica. The Chinese Icebreaker Xuelong has visited Lyttelton
Port twice during the past summer exploration season. And the bilateral Antarctica
cooperation will be further uplifted with China speeding up preparation for
launching a new base in Ross Sea region.
The connectivity between people is even more important than infrastructure.
ChristchurchNZ has sponsored a business forum during this year’s Lantern
Festival again, bringing together entrepreneurs of both countries to jointly explore
opportunities of future cooperation. Next year will be the China-New Zealand
tourism year. While expecting an increase of Chinese visitors to South Island, we
also welcome more New Zealanders to visit China and have a bite of the unique
Chinese culture by themselves. It will be conducive to promote bilateral exchanges
in various areas like education and culture as the enhancement of our partnership
lies in the deepening interconnectivity of hearts and minds between our two
peoples. And we have a joint obligation to further enhance such interconnectivity
for a better future of both countries.

Speeding up the rebuild
CHRISTCHURCH as we all
know has come a really long
way since the earthquakes.
Amazing projects are being
completed, wonderful new
buildings are being opened,
great new businesses are starting.
For me, though, one of the
most frustrating things over
the last few years has been how
slow and messy a lot of the big
Government-led anchor projects
have been.
From the Convention Centre
to the stadium to the metrosports
facility to the East Frame,
the previous Government’s
model seemed to be big flashy
announcements and then years
of delay and inaction. Projects
that should have been finished
and open to the public by now
are years behind schedule and
often millions of dollars over
budget.
Turning this around and getting
things moving has been one
of my main areas of focus since
taking over as minister late last
year. A big part of how we are
doing this is having the courage
to say that actually what has
been happening over the last
few years wasn’t working and we
need to do something different.
We can’t keep doing the
same thing and expect different
results. That was why when I
discovered a $75 million budget
blowout on the metro-sports
facility, I cancelled the early
contractor involvement.
It’s why I’ve had officials fast
track the work on the stadium
because trundling along year
after year with no real idea of
the shape or cost of such a major
project isn’t workable.
As this work progresses,
I’m sure we will hear from the
previous Government about how
we should just keep pushing on
with the plans it had. But for
me, it’s commonsense, if the
plan you’ve got isn’t working, it’s
time for a different plan, and if
someone is coming in to clean
up your mess, you don’t criticise
the broom.
I’m really confident that, just
like we have with EQC, being
bold enough to make change is
going to help speed things up
and get us facilities in our central
city that are fit for purpose and
deliver what our city needs.

Measuring success
THERE is a wellknown
proverb
“what gets measured
gets managed”
It’s attributed to
William Thompson
(1824-1907) an Irish
mathematical physicist who
introduced the idea of making
evidence-based decisions.
He believed that until you
can quantify information or
knowledge and set a target for
results, you don’t know how
to improve, to grow, or to find
solutions to difficult problems.
Establishing a good
knowledge-base, setting targets
and monitoring progress is
essential to human achievement
too. That’s why the National
Government introduced ‘better
public service targets’ in 2012.
They created meaningful
targets to support vulnerable
children, boost skills and
employment, reduce crime,
reduce welfare dependency
and improve interaction with
the Government. Government
agencies spend $25-$30 billion
a year, that’s a huge amount of
money and the BPS targets made
sure agencies had a clear sense
of purpose, that they knew what
the job was, and how it could
change lives.
And after five-plus years of
Nicky Wagner
targets the public service was
beginning to get good at digging
into the hardest long-term social
problems, such as child abuse,
family violence and serious
criminal offending. We’ve seen
a 31 per cent drop in youth
crime, 60,000 fewer children in
benefit-dependent households,
and halving the proportion
of 18-year-olds not achieving
NCEA.
But now the NZ First/Labour/
Green Government is dumping
the BPS targets. They are just
not prepared to be accountable
to people like you and me and
we are all going to miss out. The
public service will continue to
spend billions of dollars of public
money but without knowing
what they’re supposed to achieve.
That’s not how our country
will get ahead. The BPS targets
might not be perfect but they’re
a great foundation for a better
future for New Zealand. Refine
them yes, but don’t chuck them
out.

Theatre/Arts
Wicked percussionist heard but not seen
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
CRAIG GIVEN has never
had the desire to soak up the
spotlight and perform on stage.
Instead you will find the
percussionist hidden away in the
dark orchestra pit of a theatre
juggling a spectrum of quirky
instruments.
“We have got to blend into
the background, we have to
be invisible, which is quite
impossible when you are waving
you arms all over the place,” he
said.
Next month, Given, 39,
will take on what is both a
percussionist’s dream and
nightmare, playing nearly 60
instruments in Wicked, Showbiz
Christchurch’s first production
of the year.
Wicked is one of the largest
grossing musicals in Broadway
history and tells the back story of
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Although Given has been
playing percussion for Showbiz
for more than 20 years, he said
Wicked is one of the highlights of
his musical career.
“There is so much diversity in
the music . . . it ebbs and flows.
There is African influences,
orchestral and jazz – all sorts of
different stylistic pieces,” he said.
STRANGE SOUNDS: Percussionist Craig Given with a waterphone, one of the strangest
instruments he will play in Showbiz Christchurch’s production of Wicked.
Finding the instruments
required to create the thematic
music has been as much of a
challenge as playing it.
For many of the instruments,
Given has either had to track
them down from overseas or
build them himself.
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
“I have had to make a few
instruments; there is one called
a bird-flapper, which is sections
of bolts glued together which
represents the sounds of birds
flapping,” he said.
Other unique instruments
which did not exist or had to be
tracked down overseas included
a bell plate, trine, talking drum,
nut-shaker and wand.
Given said some of the music
ranges from very earthy to high,
sparkly sounds.
One of the strangest
instruments used to represent
The Star
a character in the show is the
waterphone, which is often used
in horror films.
“It is a bizarre instrument –
you have probably heard nothing
else like it,” Given said.
He has been looking for the
instruments and preparing for
the show since December.
Given said while living in New
Zealand means performers are
exposed to a bunch of shows, it is
also difficult because the country
is isolated.
“I’ve talked to guys overseas in
Broadway and doing productions
in America and got a lot of
photos and videos from them to
help research and fabricate the
instruments,” he said.
As for playing the music,
Given said the most difficult part
is the choreography of getting
from one instrument to the next.
“If you have a moment of
inattention, you will get yourself
into all sorts of trouble,” he said.
Given said he is looking forward
to passing his knowledge
about the instruments onto other
percussionists as the show is
performed by companies around
New Zealand.
•Wicked opens on April 6
at the Isaac Theatre Royal.

dismembers images and talks about the
fragments as ‘image-corpses. In his work,
there’s a constant sense of the image as a
body subject to trauma.”
The Guardian newspaper dubbed
Stezaker the “master of slicing and
splicing”. He explores a range of collage
techniques, placing postcards on
headshots to reveal surreal fusions of
landscape and features, and grafting faces
to create new gender- and genre-blending
characters.
Known for his distinctive, often
deceptively simple collages, Stezaker has
been working since the 1970s, but recently
gained major recognition for his work.
In 2011, he had a retrospective at
the Whitechapel Gallery, London,
and, in 2012, won the Deutsche Börse
Photography Foundation Prize, even
though he does not take photographs.

Stezaker says collage is about stuff that
has “lost its immediate relationship with
the world” and “involves a yearning for a
lost world”.
“There is something very odd, even
unnerving about cutting through a
photograph,” he says. “It sometimes feels
like I am cutting though flesh.”

etirement planning

These days, most retiring baby boomers can expect
to be “in retirement” for at least 20 or 25 years – so it’s
not surprising that this is a topic now attracting a lot of
interest. Recently, local firm Cambridge Partners joined
forces with a world authority on retirement lifestyle
planning, Barry LaValley, to produce a New Zealand
version of his internationally acclaimed book So you
think you’re ready to retire?.
Barry’s first visit here last year attracted enormous
attention from both the public and national media.
He was recently back in Christchurch to run a series
of seminars aimed at anyone who is within 10 years of
retirement, or who has already retired. These proved
so popular that several additional sessions had to be
scheduled to meet demand.
Forward 50 sat down with Barry to find out a bit more
about his thoughts on this ‘third phase’ of life.
What makes for a happy retirement – is
it just having sufficient funds, or is there
more to consider?
When we talk with pre-retirees the majority say that
they believe the key to happiness is having enough money
to enjoy their lives. But happiness has nothing to do with
ageing or money, as many studies have shown.
When we talk with those already retired, they place
more importance on good relationships and good health.
Money becomes less important with retirees compared
to other aspects of their lives, such as nurturing
relationships and engaging in fulfilling activities.
Achieving your goals will certainly help you live a
happy life. However, happiness itself is not a goal; it is a
precondition to living the life that you want.
How can people successfully transition
from full-time work to retirement –
does reducing hours or taking a parttime
job help?
If it’s possible for you to do this in your area of work
then this is a really good idea, not just from a financial
point of view but also from an emotional one. Some
people find the opportunity in retirement to pass the
knowledge gained from many years in their trade or
profession onto others as a consultant, trainer or advisor.
Others take a more radical path and move into a totally
unrelated industry. For instance, I met a man at one of
my seminars who had spent several decades as a hardworking
professional. Then in retirement he started up
his own small winery. Although he was actually working
harder than ever before, it didn’t feel like work to him at
all because he enjoyed it so much!
Ironically, I often encounter people who have started
looking for work again a couple of years into their
retirement. They have had a great ‘honeymoon period’
travelling, playing golf etc. in those first years, but then
reach a point where they
are starting to look for
something more fulfillilng
to incorporate into their
days.
How important
are hobbies and
sporting activities
to enjoying
retirement?

These are very important!
Time seems to be of the essence
when you retire and what you do
with that time now becomes a decision
that is more yours then in the past, when so
many other demands, particularly around work and
family, ate into your time. Yet, there is a big difference
between “time-filling” activities and “fulfilling” activities.
A lot of people enter retirement without ever thinking
carefully about how they will spend their time. Others
think they will fill their time up with activities they can
currently only do occasionally – playing more golf is
a good example of this. But if you play golf everyday,
sooner or later it’s going to start feeling like a job too! As
wth so many things in life, balance is the key.
How do you make your investments last,
so you enjoy retirement right till the end
of life?
This is where a quality financal advisor can really play
a huge role. An indepndent, fee-only company can sit
down with you to find out what sort of retirement you
would like, which will help dictate the level of income
you need to live on. For instance, do you want to do a lot
of international travel or stick closer to home? Are you
happy to drive the same car for many years, or do you
want to upgrade regularly?
Allowances can be made for large, one-off expenses
such as a major trip or family wedding, and other
elements can also be factored in. From this, interactive
cash flow modelling can be completed and a very clear
picture will emerge. One of the positive aspects of taking
the time to put together a plan is that people often find
they don’t need as much as they thought (but not always!)
How far out should you start planning
for retirement?
This is something which should be done long before
retirement, so I would always suggest that people
start thinking and talking about their retirement well
in advance, even as early as your 30s! Of course, at a
younger age it doesn’t need to be more than an occasional
conversation as part of your overall financial planning,
but the closer you get to your retirement, the more often
these conversations need to happen.
Is there one piece of advice
you would give to all those
planning retirement in
the near future?
Hard to pin it down to only one
thing but I think the main things
are: start thinking about your
retirement sooner rather than later,
share your plans with your
partner and family,
and get the help
of a good
financial
advisor.

Many people put off making a Will – it’s
almost as if making a Will acknowledges
one’s own mortality! But if you die without
a properly made Will, you are said to
have died intestate and your estate will be
settled according to the provisions of the
Administration Act (“the Act”). Under
the provisions of the Act your estate will
be divided in set proportions amongst
your surviving spouse, children and/
or immediate family. Almost inevitably
the result is that your estate
is divided in a manner
different from how you
would have wished. On
the other hand, if you
have made a Will,
you can relax in the
comfort of knowing
that your affairs will
be administered in
accordance with your
wishes.
As well as dealing with
your property, your Will can
also be used to give directions as to
your preference for burial or cremation
and the type of funeral you desire. If you
have young children, you should always
take the opportunity to appoint a guardian
to represent their interests in the event of
your sudden death.
If you have a child with special needs
and it would be inadvisable for him or
her to receive a direct cash payment
from your estate, it is possible to set up a
Testamentary Trust in your Will, to ensure
that the child’s needs are met during their
lifetime. Upon their death, the remainder
of the capital and interest of the Trust can
to wILL oR
not to Will?
then be divided among other beneficiaries.
Similarly, people will often choose to
leave their surviving spouse a life interest
only in their share of a house property or
other investments, so that they enjoy the
use of the asset (or the income from it)
during the remainder of their lifetime, but
on their death, the capital is passed to the
children of the relationship. This can suit
second or subsequent relationships and
can have the additional benefit of
the surviving spouse having
fewer assets in their name
if they are later asset
tested for eligibility
for a subsidy.
Even if you have a
Will, don’t forget that
it is a document that
needs to be reviewed
from time to time
as your circumstances
change. A good rule of
thumb is to review every five
years, or if something significant happens
in the meantime. There are certain events
that make it absolutely essential to update
your Will. For example, if you marry
or remarry your Will is automatically
revoked, unless it was made in
contemplation of that marriage. Likewise,
if your relationship comes to an end or
your marriage is dissolved, or if you have
wound up your Family Trust your Will
should be reviewed.
Give Phillipa Shaw a call on 352-2293 to
arrange an appointment to discuss how a
new Will would be of benefit to you.

Rugby action from a previous Golden Oldies event
Visitors from across
the world will soon
be converging on
Christchurch for the
Christchurch Casino
Golden Oldies Sports
Celebration 2018,
which is taking place
from April 1-29 at
various sports venues in
and around the city.
The centrepiece for the monthlong
event will be Hagley Park, where
participants will play rugby and cricket,
while the nearby Netball Centre is hosting
51 teams from Australia, Fiji, Cook
Islands and New Zealand, including
several local teams.
Sports include netball, men’s and
women’s rugby, hockey, golf, cricket and
lawn bowls.
The rugby festival, which runs from
April 22-28, has visiting teams from
England, Canada, USA, Argentina,
Australia, Japan, Brazil, Russia and
Germany.
Several sporting stars will be attending,
including South African cricket legends
Barry Richards and Mike Procter in their
roles of cricket ambassadors. The two
are also playing in the golf competition
during the second week.
During the rugby week, All Blacks’
nemesis Stephen Larkham will be making
guest appearances for any team that asks.
Stephen says he “absolutely loves being
part of Golden Oldies”, and teams are
always thrilled when they get the chance
to play alongside him – when a lot of

dollar hole-in-one competition takes place
next to the Hub on Friday April 13.
A special cricketers’ evening at the
marquee on Thursday, April 5 will feature
a panel discussion with Richards, Procter,
John Wright and Rod Latham. Following
that, Wright will be hitting the stage with
his band, the Sou’Westers. Tickets for
what will be a hugely enjoyable evening
can be purchased by emailing ellie@govsl.

marquee. Teams really get into the spirit of
the occasion, with the netball and hockey
contingents for this year’s event dressing
in anything with a red and black theme.
Canterbury locals wishing to take part

technology changing
the fitness industry
Technology is turning the exercise
industry upside down, which is one of
the reasons exercise is the biggest sport in
New Zealand right now, Exercise NZ chief
executive Richard Beddie says.
Tech in the fitness industry is
accelerating, with everything from smart
watches and heart-rate monitors, to sleep/
rest trackers that indicate when people
should or shouldn’t exercise.
“Gyms are using tech to help deliver
their products to more people in new
ways with virtual classes, or even real
classes that you join from home,” Richard
says. “It is live – you just aren’t there!
“There are new apps that work with
trainers to help deliver exercise advice
and information to clients and members.
Then there are those apps that try to
replace people. ‘Your personal trainer in
a pocket’ is a common claim of apps, but
this is where often it doesn’t work, since
information alone is often not enough to
replace expert guidance.”
Richard suggests three tech devices for
exercise:
1. Individual tracking tools
Apple Watches now talk to many
treadmills and other similar devices
so your watch / phone now integrates
with your gym’s exercise equipment,
so workouts can be measured more
accurately. Heart rate monitors are by
far the fastest-growing area. Some tech
companies have products JUST for gyms.
The most famous example is myzone
that tracks workouts both at gyms and
outside.
There are also sleep trackers and
exercise readiness trackers.
2. Virtual classes
These are still instructor led, but a
virtual instructor, so they aren’t in the
room with you. Two famous examples
are Soul Cycle from the USA, and closer
to home Les Mills on Demand from a
New Zealand company, that’s also a huge
global success.
3. Personalised health
Online tools allow people to gather
personalised data about themselves – this
includes everything from genetic testing
through to stress management – and have
it analysed online by either a relevant
expert, or more often by a software
platform that does all the calculations to
give a personalised result back. The key is
that it is still best to be coached by a real
person.
“It’s just amazing how all this is
transforming our industry. Gyms and
exercise experts are all getting on board
with online members only programmes,”
Richard says.
“The best tech tools are the ones
that interact with and support people,
rather than replacing them. One of the
drawcards of the exercise industry is that
it is personal, whether that be a session
with a personal trainer, or a group session
with a favourite instructor.
“It’s all about the people, so tech that
integrates and supports people – that’s
what the best tech is all about.”

By RoSS KiddiE
You know the new car market is
undergoing substantial change when it’s
likely New Zealand Police officers will be
seen driving South Korean-built cars.
I’m not saying that is a good or a
bad thing, but the reality is that Kia
has supplied some of its very desirable
Stinger model to law enforcement. The
reason being that the Stinger is a large,
powerful, rear-wheel-drive sedan, which
will complement Holden’s Commodore, so
long a part of our police operation.
As we all know, production of the
Australian-built Commodore has ended
– the new car to wear that nameplate is
sourced from Europe. It’s fair to say the
new Commodore will also be contracted
by the police, but it’s good to see other

brands also fitting into the equation.
From what I’ve heard, the Stinger is
a pretty smart piece of kit in both fourcylinder
and V6 form; I’ll have to reserve
judgment on it until I get to drive it, but
in the interim, a car from the bottom
end of the Kia stable is the subject of this
evaluation – the Rio.
I first drove the entry-level manual
and I related to its easy-to-drive nature,
value and quality build. This evaluation
focuses on the range-topping Limited
and, as opposed to the manual variant, the
Limited is available only as an automatic, a
four-speeder.
The engine is the same – the 1.4-litre
unit is rated at 74kW and 133Nm, both
realistic outputs for its displacement. It’s
a free-revving engine, which is quiet and

or to request a free information pack
responsive, but it does work
hard against the limitation of
just four gears – there’s a couple of
points in the engine’s delivery where
it takes time to find its breath, working
against the tall gearing.
That’s no surprise – the reason why we
have gearboxes with far more ratios is to
alleviate those gaps, but in fairness, the
Rio’s driveline does a fairly good job in
most circumstances. It also has the benefit
of healthy fuel-usage statistics. Kia also
claims a 6.2-litre per 100km/h (45mpg)
combined cycle average for the automatic
Rio, which sits well with the 7.6l/100km
(37mpg) figure constantly showing on the
dash panel readout, along with a 5l/100km
(56mpg) instantaneous figure cruising,
the 100km/h legal limit (engine speed
2500rpm).
Together, all of these figures combine
to produce reasonable performance and
great economy. In terms of acceleration,
the Rio automatic will cut out a standstill
to 100km/h time of 11.2sec and will
complete an overtaking manoeuvre
(80km/h-100km/h) in 7sec.
The Rio cruises the highway quietly
and has a smooth, comfortable ride. The
spring and damper rates are set quite soft
and that can be felt in a corner – there is
noticeable body movement. More so in
the rear where the limitations of a tube
beam axle are apparent; there is little rear
wheel freedom.
Up front it’s a different story, the steering
is pin-sharp and has perfect feel, and there
is a lot of feedback through high-quality
Continental tyres (205/45 x 17in). Their
profile leans towards a sporty feel and that
is something I particularly like.
The Rio in this form also gets a
sequential shifting device at the main

does little wrong
gearshift
lever; it’s useful for
downshifting when
entering a corner and for
the odd time when a shift away from the
normal shifting pattern is required.
At $26,990 the Rio range-topper is
reasonable value - it gets a fair hunk of
the kit as you would expect from a car
that wears a Limited badge. Sadly, the
leather-trimmed seats don’t get heaters,
which is most uninviting on a cold
Christchurch morning. But there are other
inclusions that add to the value aspect
such as satellite navigation, which appears
through a large central screen, and it
is also home to the infotainment and
communication systems.
Personally, I’d be opting for the entrylevel
Rio – it’s available in both manual
and automatic forms. It doesn’t miss
out on much, and in manual form the
six gears allow the engine to work more
akin to its power outputs. At $22,490 and
$23,490 the LX also represents an easy
passage into the brand. Take into account
there’s also an EX model at $25,490.
What Kia has served to prove in recent
years is that it is a progressive company,
not short on introducing interesting and
popular models throughout its global
markets, all landing with a relatively
realistic pricing structure.
While I’m looking forward to a drive in
the Stinger soon, it must be remembered
that it’s bread-and-butter cars such as
the Rio that steady the brand here; it’s a
desirable, down-to-earth hatchback that
does little wrong and pleases with its
styling and ability to put the driver at ease.

Grow some cool
If you haven’t already
ousted them from the
greenhouse, summer
plants such as tomatoes,
capsicums and
cucumbers will soon be
ready for the compost.
When you do finally
give them the heave-ho,
a whole new growing
space presents itself. So
let’s go on a cool-season
growing spree says
Diana Noonan
Mediterranean herbs
If there’s one thing that
livens up winter dishes, it’s
fresh herbs.
While the dried variety
will do the trick, fresh
flavour adds pizzazz
to root vegetables and
comfort foods such as
pizza and soup.
Some of the tastiest
herbs are those in the
Mediterranean category –
the ones that prefer a dry,
hot climate. Coaxing them
into performing over the
colder months is almost
impossible, especially for
the likes of oregano, which
is downright deciduous
in the coldest parts of the
country, so this is where
the greenhouse comes into
its own.
The best part about
growing Mediterranean
herbs indoors is that
even if your undercover
summer plants have
experienced disease, the
soil they grew in won’t
bother these herbs.
There’s not even the need
to replenish spent soil
as Mediterranean herbs
thrive in poor ground.
And if you’re heading away
on an autumn or winter
holiday, water can wait –
thyme, oregano, sage and
rosemary won’t thank
you for wet feet and will
happily wait (within
reason) for moisture until
you return.
Once your greenhouse
KEEP DRY: Sage is no lover of wet conditions. Bring
it in from the rain and grow it in the dry warmth of
the greenhouse over the off-season.
summer plants have
been removed, gather up
any dead foliage from
the ground, give the
greenhouse a good clean
down, inside and out, with
a window brush or water
blaster, and cut back any
foliage that has encroached
over summer (this will
help let in as much light as
possible). Finally, loosen
the ground to help aerate
it.
If you’ve potted-up herb
cuttings over spring and
summer, good for you. If
not, head to the garden
centre for potted fresh
herbs and be sure to buy
several of each variety
as growth will not be as
strong over the colder
months as it would be if
planting outdoors
in spring and summer.
If you’re in regions that
experience mild autumns
and winters, you can
include basils in your
purchases but those of
you living in colder climes
would be best to leave
these off the list.
Pop your little plants
into the soil closer to each
other than you would if

planting into the garden.
Water the soil for the first
week after planting to help
roots establish, but hold
back on the moisture after
that. Water only when the
ground to a finger’s depth
feels dry. Harvest your
herbs carefully, snipping
a few leaves off each and,
while you’re at it, revel
in the fragrance of the
Mediterranean at a time
when the sun can seem
very far away.
Winter fragrance
Colour and fragrance
lifts the spirits like nothing
else, especially in winter.
The natural way to achieve
this is to press an otherwise
empty greenhouse into
service so that you can fill
the house with inexpensive,
season-defying homegrown
bulbs that bloom in the
coldest months. Sheltered
from wind and rain and
driving sleet, greenhousegrown
bulbs lack all the
imperfections we find in
those grown outdoors and,
better still, you bring them
into the house only when
they are about to burst into
flower.

season treats
Plant your greenhouse bulbs
a little earlier than you would
those grown in the garden.
Choose colourful pots as these,
too, will add colour to your
home in winter.
Avoid unglazed terracotta pots
where possible as these porous
containers allow the soil to dry
out too quickly. Some of the best
pots for greenhouse-grown bulbs
are those that have no holes in
the base but, instead, have a
raised, self-draining platform
built into the container. Using
these pots means you won’t have
to provide a drip tray when they
are eventually placed on the
window ledge.
Choose a quality bulb mix.
Homemade compost is an option
but, as it is not sterilised, you
may introduce disease into the
bulbs – something you don’t
want to do when you are aiming
for perfect blooms to bring
indoors. Maximise the space in
pots by planting bulbs in two
layers – the shoots of the under
layer of bulbs will find their own
way up to the light and once the
bulbs are in flower, the pot will
be brimming over with colour.
After planting, store the
containers of bulbs in a shady
spot, such as a garden shed
or underneath greenhouse
shelves. This helps the bulbs
form strong roots before they
begin putting their energy into
foliage. Once the green shoots
are 1–2cm high, move the pots
into the light and, if they have
been in a shed, transfer them to
the greenhouse. Taller plants,
such as daffodils and tulips, will
soon require staking. Use thin
supports for this as they can fit
easily down the side of the pots
(chopsticks are ideal). If foliage is
particularly lanky (as is often the
case with freesias) wind thread
(black is best as it is unobtrusive)
between the supports to help
hold up leaves.
As soon as buds show, it’s time
to bring your flowering bulbs
indoors to enjoy the pleasure
of watching them open. As the
plants are now in the heat of the
house, you will need to water
them more frequently.
Tend your treasures carefully
to keep them looking their
best: snip off yellowing leaves
and spent flowers and keep
a watchful eye out for overwintering
aphids, which may
suddenly spring into life in the
warmth of your home. If they do
make an appearance, treat them
with a spray of soapy water (1
teaspoon of hand soap dissolved
in a litre of hot water).
VERSATILE: (Clockwise from top left) – Rosemary detests wet feet and even mature bushes
can be lost over winter. Enjoy the fragrance of its pungent oils by growing a bush or two in the
greenhouse; Even though herbs are growing in the greenhouse, they won’t produce as they would
if outdoors over summer – so be sure to plant plenty; If you are not concerned with a second year
of flowering, bulbs can be grown in the greenhouse in very little soil; Create a pot brimming over
with colour by planting a double layer of bulbs; Once the bulbs are planted, keep them in a shady
spot until the shoots make an appearance – this encourages strong root development.

LUSH: Peter Yealands’ vineyard in the Awatere Valley.
RELAXING: Drop in for an ale or two at the Moa Brewery.
TOWN CENTRE: Seymour Square in
Blenheim.
Wine, beer and warbirds in Marlborough
• By Mike Yardley
DRIVING State Highway
1 to Marlborough is a postquake
revelation, as the road’s
reconstruction continues.
Vast rock gardens protrude
from the Kaikoura Coast shoreline,
reshaping the seascape with
an other-worldly aesthetic. From
the road, the sea now seems to be
a lot further out.
The ongoing road work around
Ohau Point and at Irongate is
particularly compelling – where
mountains have been “moved” to
resurrect the highway.
After departing from
Christchurch, in just over four
hours, the Awatere Valley was
reaching out to greet me as I
arrived into Seddon, the gateway
to New Zealand’s flagship wine
region.
With over 30 cellar doors studding
the Marlborough Wine Trail,
my first stop was at Yealands
Estate, the world’s first carboNZero
winery, established nearly 10
years ago.
Inspired by his love of the land,
Peter Yealands, a towering wine
eco-warrior, has passionately harnessed
the sustainability ethos.
Nestled on the Seaview Peninsula,
the roof of the winery is taken up
by the nation’s largest solar panel
installation (over 1300 of them),
while wind turbines, native plantings
and free-range animals, from
the over-friendly chickens (who
rush you, en masse, like a group
of muggers) to miniature Babydoll
sheep, are all part of the mix.
I savoured many of his signature
vineyard features by taking
a self-guided drive on the 7km
White Route Tour. The expansive
vistas across the undulating folds
of the vineyard, and the rolling
Aratere landscape, are a visual
symphony of nature in harmony.
Lookout Point is a celestial
vantage point to gaze across Cook
Strait, while the South Island’s
tallest mountain outside of the
alps, Mt Tapaue-o-uenuku, looms
to the west. I also encountered
another Peter Yealands trademark,
music in the vines. Just as
Prince Charles swears by talking
to plants, Peter lavishes his
impeccably maintained vine rows
with lashings of classical music.
GRAPHIC: The exhibition halls at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, showcase vintage aircraft from the Great War.
RECONSTRUCTION: “Mountains have been moved.’’ Roadwork
on State Highway 1 north of Kaikoura.
He’s adamant that it boosts their
fruit production.
Onwards to Blenheim, I did
more winery-hopping along the
“golden mile” in Renwick and
Rapaura. As the sun bathed the
Wairau Plains in golden warmth,
I chuckled at the sight of numerous
middle-aged visitors cycling
their way from one cellar door to
the next, in alarmingly wobbly
fashion. Sauvignon Blanc and
oysters. Could there be a better
pairing?
I had my fill at Cloudy Bay’s
Raw Bar, a very swish seasonal
affair, swathed in well-groomed
lawns and gardens, adorned in
hanging egg chairs and oversized
couches. I also ventured to one of
the nation’s most decorated craft
beer enterprises, Moa Brewery.
Beyond the tasting room, their
beer garden’s picnic tables and
shady trees is a sparkling setting
for easy indulgence. Don’t overlook
the food-truck – a converted
1974 Land Cruiser, from which
Sandy’s Grilled Meat Company
cooks up a storm.
I plumped for a Pablo Burger,
a drizzling, decadent taste-bud
sensation bookended in buns.
For a complete change of
scenery on a Marlborough
mini-break, head out to Omaka
Aviation Heritage Centre, located
on the site of Blenheim’s historic
aerodrome.
Two exhibition halls showcase
vintage aircraft, from the two
world wars. The Great War
exhibition, Knights of the Sky,
features a trove of aircraft, both
original and full-scale replicas,
on long-term loan from Sir Peter
Jackson.
Many planes are fully airworthy,
and can be readily deciphered
by whether a drip tray is situated
under their belly. Knights of the
Sky is now complemented by the
World War 2 showcase, Dangerous
Skies.
The magnificently theatrical
dioramas and captivating scenes
depict the aircraft in compelling
context – some recreate actual incidents,
like the plane that crashlanded
into the only tree standing
on Flanders. They are sumptuous
works of art, so thoughtfully and
meticulously created. And the human
stories behind the respective
pilots of the aircraft are vividly
brought to life.
Beyond the flying machines,
the treasure chest of rare war
memorabilia is simply gob-stopping,
including personal items
belonging to the famous Red
Baron himself. I was particularly
struck by the display of artefacts
connected to Hermann Goering,
including the cap he was wearing
in 1945 when he was captured by
the US 7th Army.
A variety of aviators are given
the full-star Weta Workshop
mannequin treatment, like Kiwi
pilot, James Hayter, who was shot
down over England and parachuted
to safety, dropping down
in the middle of a garden party.
The assembled lovelies promptly
swooned over him and offered
him a stiffener. Just imagine it –
quite the floor show.
The collection of magnificent
flying machines are indeed
magnificent, but the personalised
human dimension threaded
throughout the exhibitions, and
the storytelling prowess, packs a
poignant punch.

Subarus upgraded
• By Ross Kiddie
SUBARU NEW Zealand
has upgraded two of its
long-standing models, the
Outback station wagon and
Legacy sedan have both
received a mid-life facelift.
The 2018 three-model
Outback range has received
styling and technology
enhancements, some of
the latter integrated into
the camera-based Eyesight
safety technology, such as
lane keep assist, helping to
avoid crashes by assisting
with steering control if the
vehicle starts drifting into
another lane. It works with
a gentle torque loading on
the steering wheel, helping
the driver steer back into
the chosen lane.
The Outback’s exterior
takes on a new frontal look
with revised grille and
bumper, and new wing
mirrors that improve
aerodynamics resulting in
further noise reduction.
New 18in alloy wheels
are fitted to each of the
three variants. The Legacy
also receives a new wheel
design.
A suite of vision assist
features have been added to
Premium Outback models.
They include LED steering
responsive headlights,
high beam assist has been
upgraded to adaptive driving
beam and there is now
front view monitor and side
view monitor.

• By Ross Kiddie
SEVERAL YEARS ago
Lexus, as a manufacturer,
was criticised for making
cars less than exciting.
In the period since, that
has all changed. Sure, there
are models which will lure
through their luxury and
quality appeal, but today
many models from the
marque are biased towards
performance.
Alongside the summer
series of international
motorsport, Lexus New
Zealand has been running
its own Summer of Performance,
a programme designed
to give owners and
potential buyers the chance
to try out the Lexus range
on racetracks throughout
the country.
I was recently invited
to join take part in that
experience with other journalists
as part of a media
day at Hampton Downs
Motorsport Park in the
Waikato.
Almost all of the Lexus
range was there for a

variety of on-track exercises,
and the programme
enabled a drive in a wide
cross-section of models.
Of course, the most
exciting and most capable
were the V8-powered models
– GSF, ISF and LC500
– but it was also the V6 and
turbocharged four-cylinder
cars which impressed.
The sporty two-door
LC500 coupe aside, my
favourite of the Lexus range
has long been the IS series,
the IS200t especially, and
it didn’t let me down on
track, it was nimble, strong
under brakes and had
just the right amount of
Premium models include
lager central display screens
and enhanced smartphone
connectivity based on
Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto services
Initial driving impressions
during the media
launch for both cars on
rural roads east of Auckland
were of quiet and
comfortable motion. The
Outback is smooth and has
high levels of refinement.
On pot-holed sections of
tarmac, the Outback’s long
travel suspension absorbed
and contained the hits
without in-cabin jolts.
The Legacy has large car
presence and sophisticated
attitude.
A short but challenging
off-road excursion tested
the Outback’s 213mm
ground clearance figure, its
symmetrical four-wheeldrive
system distributed
power evenly in low grip
muddy surfaces.
Prices for the Outback remain
unchanged at $44,990
(2.5i Sport), $49,990 (2.5i
Premium) and $59,990 for
the Premium 3.6R 6-cylinder
model.
A new leather-trimmed
2.5i Premium model has
been introduced into the
Legacy range, while a 3.6RS
Premium has returned to
the line-up.
The Legacy 2.5i Premium
is priced at $49,990 while
the 3.6RS lists at $54,990.
Both variants arrive with a
high level of specification,
the same as its Outback
stablemates.
Both Legacy variants
feature Eyesight technology
with the addition of lane
keep assist. They also get
the vision assist features of
the Outback.
The Legacy also gets an
exterior refresh up front.
Both drivelines in Outback
and Legacy remain
largely unchanged except
for efficiency improvements.

While the performance
day served to prove
Lexus is no slouch on
the racetrack, it must
be remembered it is a
competitive challenger in
global motorsport, and that
engineering success trickles
down into its product lineup.
Lexus also has a broad
range of hybrid models,
and the Hampton Downs
experience even included
some hot laps in an IS300h
hybrid, I can even report
that it wasn’t disgraced.

IT’S ONLY week three of
the NRL season but the New
Zealand Warriors already have a
shot at history.
Saturday’s victory over the
Gold Coast Titans ensured the
Warriors have begun the season
with two victories, the first time
the side has done so since 2009.
Can they go 3-0? That would
be a first if they beat the Raiders
in Canberra on Saturday.
In their previous 23 seasons
the Warriors have never started
the year with three victories.
The Warriors best start to a
season was in 2003.
After dropping the opening
game at home to the Knights, the
Warriors won their next five for
a 5-1 start.
They ended up finishing sixth
on the table before losing the
preliminary final to eventual
winners Penrith.
The Warriors last won three
straight games in the 2016 season
(victories over the Broncos,
Knights and Roosters), a year in
which they lost their first three
games of the season.
Canberra have started the season
with two two-point defeats
and currently sit 12th on the
table, the best of the NRL’s five
winless teams.
However, the trip to Canberra
has never been easy for the Warriors.
They have won just three encounters
in 15 trips to Canberra
including a 20-8 round seven
defeat last year.
The Warriors last won at GIO
Stadium in round two three

Co-driver could be youngest rally winner
• By Gordon Findlater
JARED HUDSON could be the
youngest co-driver in the world
to win a rally, but no one is quite
sure.
The 13-year-old was in the
passenger seat for 2017 national
rally championship runner-up
Matt Summerfield on Saturday.
The pair won the Westland Rally
finishing just 4.5sec ahead of
Darren Galbraith’s car which
was being co-driven by Jared’s
father Rocky Hudson.
Jared comes from a family of
co-drivers. His parent’s Rocky
and Lisa met through the sport
as “motorsport groupies.”
Lisa then co-drove for Rocky
during the 1990s before he gave
up driving due to the high costs
associated with rallying and the
pair starting a family. However,
they weren’t done with the sport.
Rocky traded in the driver’s seat
for pace notes and since 2001 he
has ridden shotgun with some of
the country’s top drivers including
Andrew Hawkeswood, Mark
Tapper and Dean Buist.
Jared’s sister Amy also took up
co-driving in 2014 and became
the youngest co-driver to win a
national title at just 16 when she
won the NZ 2WD championship
with Dylan Thompson last year.
All four will contest this year’s
national rally championship.
Rocky with Darren Galbraith,
Lisa with Brian Stokes, Amy
with Dylan Thompson and Jared
with David Taylor.
Jaren has been co-driving
since he was 12 and took part in
his first recce (pace note) event at
the Canterbury Rally last year.
Even Summerfield was
amazed with how calm
and collected the
young co-driver
was as they weaved
their way through
the West Coast forestry
roads
at high
speed.

“He’s so chilled about it, you
would think he’s been doing it
for a long time,” said Summerfield.
“He told me that he had ridden
with Darren [Galbraith] before
and got to 190km/h. He said I
had to beat that.”
“We ended up hitting
208km/h,” said Jared.
“Even though we were going
10 times faster than I’m used to
going I didn’t feel scared at all.
I loved every minute of it and
it was secretly awesome to beat
Dad.”
As for Jared being the world’s
youngest rally winner, no one
is quite sure. However, there’s
no evidence found yet to suggest
he’s not.
“It’s certainly
very rare. We
don’t have
that kind of

Warner sustained a concussion

Checklist for selling your home
Make small fixes
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and
correct the flaws that are most egregious (if
affordable) or can be relatively easily fixed—
from repairing cracks in the walkways to
repainting dingy walls or oiling creaky
hinges.
Select the best real estate agent
For a commission, an agent will take care
of many details you may not want to be
bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls,
making signs, etc.) and bring experience to
the table. To find a good one, ask friends and
relatives, then interview several candidates.
Set a price
A real estate agent will give you a market
analysis free of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the
market. Check out comparable listings
yourself in the real estate section of your
newspaper or on websites. Then decide
whether you want a quick, easy sale or the
highest possible price.
Clean & declutter
Weed out excess furniture,
knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it,
donate it, give it away, sell it at a
garage sale, or put it into storage—so
the house seems more spacious and
buyers can imagine themselves in it.
Stay vigiliant about maintenance
Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs
trimmed, gardens weeded, rooms
spotless and clutter-free.
Ready your home for open days
Hide pocketable valuables, display
fresh flowers or bowls of fruit, bake
a batch of cookies for the homey
smell, open the drapes, keep pets out
of sight.
Decide whether to do your own
building inspection
It may save you time, especially
with older homes, to identify—and
potentially solve—problems your
buyer’s inspection will discover later.
