• By Bridget Rutherford 

RUGBY LEAGUE great Frank 

Endacott reckons he has never 

been busier after going into the 

motor vehicle industry. 

The former Warriors and Kiwis 

coach and his son Shane are 

running Endacott Motor Group, 

which specialises in Japanese vehicles 

and selected European cars. 

“At 70-years-old I’m putting 

more hours into the day than I’ve 

ever done in my life,” he said. “You 

never stop learning no matter how 

old you are.” 

Mr Endacott, who was inducted 

into the Sporting Legends of Canterbury 

at the Nexia New Zealand 

Canterbury Sports Awards three 

weeks ago, is a rugby league player 

agent alongside business partner 

Peter Brown. He is currently part 

of a panel tasked with interviewing 

and appointing a new Kiwis 

coach, does charity work, and 

has just welcomed his sixth greatgrandchild.

Bid to beat 

hospital’s 

park and 

ride woes 

before 

winter 


NEW Government MPs are 

working to resolve Christchurch 

Hospital’s parking situation 

by the start of winter as the 

situation reaches “crunch 

point.” 

The Deans Ave park and ride 

set-up will be the focus of a 

meeting between Labour MPs, 

Canterbury District Health 

Board and city council representatives 

next week. 

They have been tasked with 

coming up with options to 

resolve the issues, including the 

lack of shelter for those waiting 

in bad weather to catch the 

shuttle and the site’s general 

condition. 

Those options will be tabled 

next week with the aim of 

finding a solution before 

winter. 

Port Hills Labour MP Ruth 

Dyson said she requested a 

meeting with Christchurch 

Central MP Duncan Webb, 

Christchurch East MP Poto 

Williams, Minister of Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods, city councillor 

Deon Swiggs and CDHB representatives 

last week. 

“I put out a message and said 

can we sort this together and 

I’ve had really positive responses 

back.” 

She said everyone was looking 

at options for what was a 

citywide and regional problem, 

and they would be tabled at the 

meeting.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

The Star 

News.....................................3-17 

THERE’S A very good reason 

they call Frank Endacott, Happy 

Frank. 

He’s generally got a smile on 

his face – like the one we have on 

page 1 today. 

Frank and his son Shane, 

another good league player in 

his day, have taken over a car 

yard in Moorhouse Ave – not 

too far from the former home 

ground (Lancaster Park) of what 

was once, but not so more, rival 

football code. 

The business venture is Frank’s 

latest since he gave up his coaching 

days which spanned the 

tremendous Addington sides of 

the early 1980s, the Kiwis, champion 

British side, Wigan, and of 

course the Warriors. 

He was recently, and deservedly, 

inducted into the Sporting 

Legends of Canterbury, and is 

still a player agent for the big 

league clubs in the NRL and 

English competitions. 

“At 70-years-old I’m putting 

more hours into the day than I’ve 

ever done in my life,” he said. 

“You never stop learning no 

matter how old you are.” 

Says it all, really.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Kidney worry for Maddie 

• By Emily O’Connell 

FRUSTRATED and a little 

scared. 

That’s how Sarah Manson- 

Collins, mother of Maddie Collins, 

feels after recent blood test 

results revealed her daughter’s 

body may be rejecting her new 

kidney. 

This comes just three months 

after Maddie’s “miracle” kidney 

transplant. 

Maddie, 14, and her parents 

flew on a one-way ticket to 

Starship Children’s Health in 

Auckland on Tuesday. 

Maddie’s kidney biopsy, which 

was scheduled for next week, 

was brought forward to yesterday 

morning. 

“They just need to take a 

biopsy and see if we are in fact 

dealing with [kidney] rejection,” 

Mrs Manson-Collins said. 

However, she said it could be 

a reaction to the different drugs 

Maddie’s taking. 

Mrs Manson-Collins said 

Maddie was feeling tired and 

her kidney was a bit sore. 

She said they will be receive 

preliminary biopsy results 

within the first 48 hours and 

formal results within the week. 

“Hopefully, they’ll get on top 

of it and have her feeling fantastic 

again really quickly,” Mrs 

Manson-Collins said. 

Maddie and her family were 

told on January 16 their fiveyear 

wait for a kidney match had 

been found. 

They flew from Christchurch 

to Auckland early the following 


TWO YOUTHS are defending 

charges relating to the Rolleston 

“drown him” case. 

A 15-year-old and a 16-yearold 

appeared in the Youth Court 

on Tuesday both charged with 

aggravated robbery. 

HEALTH ISSUES: Recent blood test results show Maddie Collins’ body may be rejecting her 

new kidney which was transplanted three months ago.

day and Maddie underwent an 

initial operation and then a second 

operation to reposition the 

kidney hours later at Starship 

Children’s Health. 

Mrs Manson-Collins said 

Maddie has had an “amazing 

recovery” in spite of the first 48 

hours not going to plan. 

She flew back to Christchurch 

They have denied the charges 

and it will go to a two or threeday 

defended hearing. 

Judge Jane McMeeken adjourned 

the case for a callover 

to determine when the hearing 

would take place and how long it 

would be. 

Police allege the robbery happened 

after a fireworks display 

in Rolleston on November 4. 

The 15-year-old victim was 

allegedly beaten then dragged 

to a water race where his head 

was held under the water. The 

incident came after the victim 

allegedly refused to hand over 

his cap. 

in late February after spending 

two weeks at Starship Children’s 

Health and four weeks recovering 

at Ronald McDonald House 

in Auckland. 

‘Drown him’ case youths to defend charges 

His assailants chanted “drown 

him, drown him” during the attack, 

police allege. 

The victim was left with a gash 

on his face that required stitches 

and a night in hospital. 

Both youths previously appeared 

in the Youth Court last 

month. 

In Brief 

ASSAULT WITNESSES 

Police are appealing for 

information after a 21-year-old 

woman was assaulted as she was 

walking to work on Restell St in 

Papanui on Tuesday morning. A 

man approached the woman on 

the footpath at around 6.19am 

and attempted to restrain her. 

The man is described as in his 

late 20s to early 30s of solid build 

with dark hair, stubble and a light 

coloured hoodie. Police would like 

to hear from anyone in the area at 

the time who may have witnessed 

the incident. 

TSUNAMI SIREN TEST 

The tsunami warning sirens 

will be tested on Sunday. The 

sirens, which run along the coast 

between Brooklands and Taylors 

Mistake, will sound at 11am 

for up to 3min. The city council 

says it is a good time for people 

to check if they are in a tsunami 

evacuation zone, work out where 

they would evacuate to, and how. 

ORBITER MEETING 

Diana Isaac Retirement Village 

residents, Ryman Healthcare staff 

and Environment Canterbury 

staff will meet on May 11 over 

changes to the Orbiter bus route. 

It comes after 80 Diana Isaac 

Retirement Village residents 

presented a 500-signature 

petition to ECan pleading for it to 

reconsider the changes that would 

see the closest stop moved 900m 

away. 

HISTORIC SITE DEMOLITION 

Consultation is under way as part 

of an application to demolish 

the historic Harley Chambers 

and alter Worcester Chambers 

to develop a 150-room hotel. Lee 

Pee Ltd has applied for consent 

to build the development, where 

the earthquake-damaged Harley 

Chambers stands on Cambridge 

Tce. 

HARPER LEAVES GALLERY 

Jenny Harper will serve her last 

day as Christchurch Art Gallery 

director today. She has been in 

the role for more than 11 years 

and steered the gallery through its 

major earthquake repairs.

Three hole-in-ones 

on St Patrick’s Day 

THE LUCK of the Irish 

struck at Bottle Lake Golf 

Club on St Patrick’s Day 

with three holes-in-ones in 

the space of three hours. 

Shayne Dwyer, Tony 

Ermerins, and club 

manager Clare Pitt were 

playing in the Blumsky 

Cup – a Canadian 

foursome mixed pairs 

competition. 

Two of the hole-in-ones 

came on the sixth hole par 

three. Pitt was the first 

to accomplish the feat at 

lunchtime when she holed 

out with a driver from the 

128m yellow tee at noon. 

Ermerins was the next at 

1.30pm, using a nine-iron 

from the 141m blue tee. 

Dwyer was the last to 

the party on the par three 

16th hole. He also used a 

nine-iron to hole out from 

112m. 

It was the first ever holein-one 

for both Ermerins 

and Pitt and the second 

for Dwyer. Celebrations 

went long into the night as 

the three “shouts” kept bar 

staff busy

•From page 1 

Now he has added another 

string to his bow. 

“I’ve never been in the 

car business before and 

could never see myself in 

the car business.” 

He has previously 

been involved with Nigel 

Thompson Motor Company, 

but had since rebranded 

the company to Endacott 

Motor Group. 

“We decided to take the 

business on, my son Shane 

and myself. It’s a huge challenge 

and we’ve taken it 

head-on,” he said. 

“We were just a passive 

investor and ended up with 

a business and the challenge 

of making it work. 

It’s been quite exciting, I’ve 

learned a lot since we’ve 

been going and learning by 

the day.” 

Mr Endacott, who was 

known as Happy Frank, 

played league for Addington 

and Hornby and made 

the Schoolboy Kiwis in 

1963. 

He coached the Kiwis 

from 1995-2000 and the 

Warriors from 1997-1999. 

Endacott Motor Group 

had “something for everyone,” 

he said. “I’m lucky

Mr Endacott said he had 

previously owned pubs and 

a crushing road metal plant 

in North Canterbury. 

He was at the Moorhouse 

Ave yard about six days 

a week where he enjoyed 

meeting new people, while 

on Saturday he liked to go 

and watch local sport. 

He said Endacott Motor

“We want to give back to

much to me over the years.”

Quake sensors to monitor building safety 


THE CITY council 

will be the first in the 

world to install sensors 

to determine how its 

buildings have stood 

up to earthquakes and 

whether they are safe 

to occupy. 

As part of its Smart 

Cities programme, it 

is looking to install 

its own sensors which 

would feed into a 

city-wide network that 

measures ground shaking. 

The network would provide 

accurate data on ground shaking 

levels to determine how 

buildings have 

fared based 

on their individual 

design 

limits and 

what action is 

needed. 

The city 

Teresa 

McCallum 

council will 

also install 

sensors in its 

“critical” buildings to directly 

measure how they respond to 

the shaking, which would be 

immediately sent to the building 

manager’s phone. 

Its sensors will link with a 

network of more than 100 other 

Canterbury Seismic Instruments 

sensors scattered around 

the city. 

The information will be 

shared with building owners, 

Civil Defence and research 

agencies. 

Smart Cities programme 

manager Teresa McCallum said 

it was a “global first” for a city 

council to install the instruments 

in its buildings. 

“We hope to become the most 

seismically-prepared city in the 

world.” 

Soil and ground conditions 

meant earthquake shaking 

levels across the city were 

“hugely variable”. 

Ms McCallum said existing 

GeoNet stations were too far 

SMART: The 

sensors would 

show whether city 

council buildings 

have been 

damaged, like 

the former civic 

offices were on 

Tuam St. 

apart to measure 

exact shaking 

levels. The 

sensor network 

would deliver 

ground shaking 

information on a 

block by block, and 

building by building, basis. 

When an earthquake hit, the 

sensors would identify the most 

affected areas and resources 

could be prioritised there, she 

said. 

Ms McCallum said the 

ground shaking sensors would 

be installed in the central city 

first, followed by Papanui, Addington 

and Sydenham and other 

residential suburbs. 

An installation date, the cost, 

and the “critical” buildings were 

yet to be determined, she said. 

Last week, Harcourts real 

estate agent Christopher Chapman 

was cleared of disgraceful 

conduct by the Real Estate 

Agents Disciplinary Tribunal 

after a tenant and customer in 

the building he managed were 

killed by falling masonry in the 

February 22, 2011 earthquake. 

Apprentist tattooist Matthew 

McEachen and customer Rachel 

Conley were killed as they tried 

to flee the Colombo St building 

that housed Southern Ink. 

The building was not structurally 

sound to be occupied after 

the September 2010 earthquake, 

but Mr Chapman never informed 

Southern Ink owner 

Matt Parkin. 

City councillor Deon Swiggs 

said peoples’ lives were reliant 

on the buildings they occupied 

being structually sound. 

The sensors meant they could 

be assessed by science rather 

than an after the fact investigation, 

he said. 

“It’s about constantly improving 

buildings and making them 

safer and safer, because we never 

want what happened in the 

February earthquake to happen 

again.”

More using app 

to report issues 

REPORTING maintenance issues 

through a phone app has grown in 

popularity since it was launched 

nearly three years ago. 

City council figures show since 

the Snap Send Solve app was 

launched in June 2015, it had been 

used 35,796 times to report maintenance 

problems. 

In 2016, it was used to report 

13,393 issues, while last year that 

figure grew to 16,900. That worked 

out to be about 46 reports a day. 

So far this year, 5503 issues had 

been reported through the app. 

The most common reported issue 

has been graffiti. Last year, graffiti 

complaints made up 42 per cent of 

all complaints. 

That was followed by roading or 

street problems at 28 per cent and 

rubbish and recycling at 13 per 

cent. 

The city council was the first in 

New Zealand to start using Snap 

Send Solve. 

It allows people to report issues 

such as potholes through the app 

by taking a photo that is forwarded, 

with the GPS location, to the 

relevant city council department to 

be dealt with. 

A city council spokeswoman said 

the majority of complaints were 

still made via the call centre.

Bid to beat hospital’s park 

and ride woes before winter 


“It’s got the attention 

of people who are pretty 

determined to get these 

things sorted.” 

The Star has visited the car 

park several times, to find 

dozens of people queued in 

the pouring rain and wind 

to catch the shuttle because 

there was not enough space 

in the small waiting room. 

Others did not want to lose 

their spot in the line. 

They included a child with 

pneumonia, elderly people, 

people on crutches, and a 

heavily pregnant woman. 

Park and ride was set up 

as a temporary fix to alleviate 

the chronic parking 

shortage until a permanent 

car parking building was 

finished in 2020. 

But Cr Swiggs said the current 

Deans Ave car park was 

“not good enough” and it had 

come to a “crunch point.” 

“I think a good solution 

will be to get that car park 

to a standard that’s accessible 

and to make good 

accommodation there for 

people when it’s raining so 

they can have shelter.” 

Other options, such as 


MODELLING IS being 

carried out to assess the 

current condition of the 

city’s waterways and to 

predict what they will be 

like in 35 years. 

City council city services 

general manager David 

Adamson said the modelling 

estimates the annual 

amounts of contaminants 

such as copper, zinc and 

sediment in the stormwater, 

which could end up in 

the rivers. 

“An initial pilot trial has 

been done on the Avon 

catchment and this has

investigating if there were 

other car parking locations 

that could be utilised may 

come with it, he said. 

The car park is owned by 

Global Edge Properties and 

the CDHB operates the 

free shuttles. 

The CDHB previously 

said there was no funding 

to install extra shelter, and 

had asked Global Edge 

Properties to fix the uneven 

surface. 

CDHB finance and 

corporate services manager 

Justine White said the 

CDHB welcomed the input 

now been extended to 

include all the major catchments 

in Christchurch.” 

He said the work was 

yet to be peer reviewed so 

could not be released. 

A recent city council 

survey of the waterways 

found people rated them 

more important than 

housing and education. 

But 60 per cent said the 

rivers were in “poor” or 

“terrible” states. 

The modelling was 

being done as part 

of the city council’s 

consent application to 

Environment Canterbury 

to discharge stormwater 


from MPs. 

She said improvements 

could be made to the 

Deans Ave site, which they 

would push for, but the site 

was still well used. 

“The Canterbury health 

dollar is stretched by competing 

priorities more than 

ever before, so of course 

additional funding would 

be helpful.” 

Cr Swiggs would not 

rule out putting ratepayer 

money into finding a solution 

if it was the difference 

between fixing the problem 

or not.

The application is on 

hold until June to allow the

ECan staff initially 

indicated they would 

decline the application 

because there was a lack 

of certainty or firm targets 

for quality over time. 

This work is being done 

to try and create those 

targets and show improvement. 

The previous consent 

expired in 2016.

Golden Oldies 

City gets ready for our biggest 

More than 6000 people will come to the city for the 

Christchurch Casino Golden Oldies Sports Celebration 

2018 which starts on Sunday. History suggests they like to 

have a good time in and out of the sporting arena. Bridget 

Rutherford looks at what is happening, who will be here 

and when 

What is it? 

The Christchurch Casino 

Golden Oldies Sports 

Celebration 2018 will run 

throughout April with the motto 

fun, friendship and fraternity. 

Organised by sport event 

management, 

tour and travel 

company, 

Vintage Sport 

and Leisure, 

the celebration 

was designed 

especially for 

Christchurch 

after the 

September 

4, 2010, and 

February 22, 

2011, earthquakes to help the 

city regenerate. The different 

tournaments include rugby, 

cricket, netball, hockey, softball, 

lawn bowls, golf, squash, football 

and basketball. Each will run at 

different times throughout the 

month. South Hagley Park will 

be the event hub, with rugby, 

cricket, football and netball 

played there, while other codes 

will be played in venues across 

the city. 

The opening ceremonies for 

the first three sports – cricket, 

netball and basketball – will 

take place on 

Sunday, before the 

action begins on 

Monday. 

Who will be 

here? 

More than 

6000 participants, 

supporters 

and volunteers 

will come to 

Christchurch 

for the month-long event 

from across New Zealand and 

Australia, and from as far 

as Japan, Russia, Zimbabwe, 

Argentina, the United States, 

the United Kingdom, Ireland 

and Canada. While Golden 

Oldies is open to anyone over 

35, the bulk of participants are 

normally between 45-65. For 

some, Golden Oldies won’t be 

their first taste of international 

competition. 

Former Wallaby and current 

Wallaby attack coach Stephen 

Larkham will be on hand to play 

for any team that asks, South 

African cricket legends Barry 

Richards and Mike Procter will 

play in the golf tournament, 

while former Canterbury rugby 

hard man Alex ‘Grizz’ Wyllie 

will turn his hand to lawn 

bowls, alongside two-time world 

champion and ambassador Gary 

Lawson. 

Former Crusaders coach 

Robbie Deans will dust of his 

pads and play for The Willows 

cricket team next month and 

former All Whites defender Ben 

SWAPPING CODES: 

Former South African 

cricketer Barry 

Richards will compete 

in the golf, as well 

as being a cricket 

ambassador. 

Sigmund will play in the football 

tournament. 

And New Zealand cricket great 

John Wright will even make 

an appearance, but not with a 

cricket bat. 

He will perform at the rugby 

and cricket dinners with band 

The Sou’Westers. 

But the big names don’t 

intimidate the other competitors.

Many of the competitors met 

each other at Golden Oldies 

tournaments 20 years ago, and 

look forward to catching up 

again. 

Saracens Saggy Sacks captain 

Steve Murray reckons it’s about 

scoring a few tries and sharing 

a pint or two afterwards. “Most 

of the players have done our 

dash with competitive sports in 

our younger years and now it’s

Henry, Sir Bob Charles, Rod 

Latham, Julie Seymour, Alan 

Stroud, Todd Blackadder, among 

others. 

What will the event bring to 

the city? 

It’s not all about the sport. 

History suggests Golden Oldies 

like to have a good time out of 

the sporting arena – and they’re 

big spenders. Many like to go to 

bars and eateries, go shopping 

and sightseeing, and they will 

need accommodation. It is 

expected to bring $33 million 

of direct economic benefit to 

Canterbury. 

ChristchurchNZ attraction 

general manager Linda Falwasser 

said anytime thousands of 

international visitors come and 

stay a minimum of seven nights, 

it contributes significantly to the 

local and regional economy. 

“Christchurch is open and 

ready to welcome visitors and 

I’m sure the local business 

community will agree that we 

have so many amazing sights, 

services and experiences to share 

with our visitors.” 

The event is expected to be one 

of the largest Christchurch has 

ever hosted. 

Where did the Golden Oldies 

originate? 

The Golden Oldies movement 

began in 1979 with rugby. It 

was set up to keep older people 

playing sport and enjoying the 

social aspect of it. 

From there, more codes were 

added, but rugby remains the 

most popular with more than 

120 teams registered for next 

month’s event. 

Normally, Golden Oldies’ 

tournaments for each sport are 

held in different international 

cities every two years – so 

Christchurch is the first, and 

possibly last city to hold all 10 

sports in the same month.

Each sport has different grades

the oldest rugby player to take

the event, supported by 

ChristchurchNZ. 

VSL managing director Peter 

McDermott said it could not 

wait for the event to start. He 

said the majority of people were 

registered for the rugby, cricket, 

netball and hockey, with lawn 

bowls and golf having good 

numbers too. 

“We’re very pleased with 

the numbers we’ve got. We’re 

really pleased people coming to 

Christchurch are very excited.” 

Christchurch Casino is the 

event’s naming sponsor. Chief 

executive Brett Anderson said it 

would also host various events 

at the casino and at Sixty6 on 

Peterborough, which would be 

renamed the Club Rooms for the 

month. 

Mr Anderson said the casino 

wanted to support the event 

because of its significance for 

Christchurch and the sector 

in what was usually a quiet 

month. 

“I was fortunate enough to 

attend a Golden Oldies Rugby 

Festival in Cardiff and see the 

impact that event had on the city, 

every day and night of the week 

was a busy night for city, you 

saw the participants in the bars, 

the shops, the museums and 

galleries, walking the streets and 

taking in all that the city had to 

offer.” •Mayor’s column, page 19

Third parties blamed for compromising firewalls 


CONTRACTORS and installers 

have been partly blamed for 

Canterbury District Health 

Board buildings’ passive fire 

protection walls and floors 

becoming compromised. 

It has led 

to a “100 per 

cent unique” 

rectification 

programme 

to make sure 

CDHB firewalls 

and floors 

are compliant, 

Carolyn 

Gullery 

and remain 

that way when 

designers, installers 

and sub-contractors work 

in its buildings. 

Experts say the programme 

could set a benchmark for other 

sectors. 

In July The Star revealed 

investigations found issues with 

fire protection walls and floors 

in CDHB buildings, which are 

designed to stop fire spreading. 

Information released to The 

Star under the Official Information 

Act said some of the buildings 

were no longer compliant 

due to their age, while others 

were due to contractors. 

“Canterbury DHB has had 

years of contractor work within 

its buildings where, for example, 

non-compliant penetrations to 

fire walls for services have occurred,” 

CDHB planning, funding 

and decision support general 

manager Carolyn Gullery said. 

She said the programme under 

way included investigating 

every CDHB building to see what 

repairs were needed and fixing 

them using approved fire protection 

companies. 

It also included highlighting 

the importance of firewalls to 

third parties working in the 

buildings and monitoring their 

performance. 

Protocols and management 

tools would be developed that 


could be expanded for other sectors, 

Ms Gullery said. 

The cost of the extensive programme 

was unknown at this 

stage, Ms Gullery said. 

She said in spite of the programme, 

all CDHB buildings 

had compliant “active” fire 

protection such as detection and 

sprinkler systems, and current 

building warrants of fitness. 

Fire Fighting Pacific Canterbury 

service manager Charlie 

Loughnan said the CDHB 

programme was “100 per cent 

unique” and would set a benchmark 

for other sectors. 

“I don’t think it’s being done 

anywhere else in the country.” 

BIG JOB: The 

CDHB will 

assess the 

passive fire 

protection 

in all of its 

buildings, 

including 

Christchurch 

Hospital, after 

investigations 

found some 

were not 

compliant. 

PHOTO: 

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

He said the CDHB built dummy 

situations of non-compliant 

firewalls, and tested different 

fire protection suppliers on the 

repairs done to make them compliant. 

Fire engineers then pulled the 

dummies apart to make sure the 

work was done correctly, he said. 

Only suppliers approved by the 

testing, including Fire Fighting 

Pacific, would be able to apply for 

future repair tenders, he said. 

“I think the people within the 

industry were quite anti the process, 

perhaps because it exposed 

some issues in the industry or 

practices that aren’t right.” 

He said third party workers 



breaching firewalls was a massive 

problem his colleagues saw every 

day when doing building warrant 

of fitness inspections. 

“Contractors come in and 

Swiss cheese the place. It’s a 

travesty.” 

He said firewalls were a second 

line of defence used when sprinklers 

failed. 

“In a hospital you don’t put the 

people outside, you just move 

them into another fire cell,” Mr 

Loughnan said. 

“If there’s a hole in the firewall 

and a fire on the other side, it’s 

like a blow torch coming out 

the other side. It’s only got to set 

something on fire on the other 

side.” 

Specialist Trade Contractors 

Federation president Graham 

Burke welcomed the CDHB 

programme, which would raise 

awareness of the issue. 

“It’s not just contractors, there’s 

a management component to this. 

Whoever’s running the job needs 

to be planning their penetrations.” 

He said often retrofits, or 

installations such as heatpumps 

or IT wiring, were added years 

down the track and could be 

done on an “ad hoc” basis. 

“We’d certainly support that 

information being circulated and 

being proactive.”

Wendy’s workers may be 

forced into ‘industrial action’ 

• By Emily O’Connell 

WENDY’S STAFF may turn to 

industrial action if negotiations 

over lieu days break down. 

The move follows Lyttelton 

port workers striking over wages 

and rosters, and nurses saying 

strike action is likely after they 

rejected a pay offer from district 

health boards. 

The fast food workers’ move 

comes after a three-year battle 

over lieu days, prompted by 

Hornby Wendy’s staff member 

Rose Williams. 

She went to the Ministry 

of Business, Innovation and 

Employment with the lieu day 

issue after she had been working 

at the Hornby restaurant for a 

year. 

Mrs Williams said Wendy’s 

staff were not being given a lieu 

day after working on a public 

holiday. 

In November, the Employment 

Relations Authority ruled in 

favour of Mrs Williams and 

Wendy’s was found to have 

breached two sections of the 

Holidays Act 2003. 

Wendy’s was given a list of 

orders including giving past and 

present employees their days 

INDUSTRIAL ACTION: Hornby Wendy’s staff member Rose 

Williams’ battle to get employees their lieu days continues.

in lieu or equivalent pay dating 

back to July 1, 2012, or since the 

restaurants had opened. 

Unite Union, of which 

Mrs Williams is a delegate, 

has estimated it would cost 

Wendy’s $1.6 million to pay back 

employees’ leiu days. 

The union’s national director 

Mike Treen said it has sent a 

final terms of settlement to the 

fast food company. 

“If no final agreement can be 

achieved very soon, we will be 

forced to ask members to take 

industrial action in support of 

our claims,” he said. 

But Mr Treen says it might not 

come to that as he doesn’t know 

what Wendy’s “final position” is. 

“I don’t even know if there’s 

a problem with lieu days at 

Wendy’s actually because they 

haven’t come back,” he said. 

Wendy’s did not respond 

before deadline. 

Council blamed for delay in 

removing wharf structures 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE CITY council is being 

blamed for the delay in removing 

unlicensed structures from 

Akaroa wharf. 

Black Cat Cruises was asked 

to dismantle signage, seats and 

a wheelchair ramp outside its 

building in November as they 

had been installed on the city 

council-owned wharf without 

appropriate permission. 

But the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board heard last month 

that the structures remain in 

place. 

Akaroa Fishermen’s Association 

president John Wright 

expressed frustration that 

several months after the board 

requested action, nothing had 

happened. 

Black Cat Cruises chief executive 

Paul Milligan told Bay 

Harbour News the delay is down 

to the company wanting to make 

sure it isn’t breaking more rules 

by removing the wheelchair 

ramp. 

Mr Milligan said it had sought 

clarification from the city council 

about whether it can remove 

the ramp, and were waiting to 

hear back. 

“We were required to put that 

STILL THERE: Black Cat 

Cruises has been asked 

to remove these nonconsented 

signs and ramps 

from Akaroa wharf, PHOTO: 

VICTORIA ANDREWS 

ramp in as part of our building 

consent so we don’t want to appease 

one arm of the city council 

and then upset another. We 

would like (clarification) before 

we go ahead and complete the 

work.” 

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner 

said city council staff were “continuing 

to work through some 

of the complex issues regarding 

the implications of removing the 

structures. I expect there will be 

an update at the next community 

board meeting,” he said. 

Mr Wright has written to city 

council chief executive Karleen 

Edwards, as has Akaroa Civic 

Trust chairman Mike Norris. 

TRAVELLING OVER EASTER? 

If you’re planning a trip over Easter weekend, make sure you allow plenty of time. Easter is one of the 

busiest times on our roads and there will be construction work underway on State Highway 1 (SH1). 

While the number of roadworks will be reduced to help with holiday traffic flow, some sites along 

SH1 will still be one-lane and have stop/go controls in place. This will add to your journey time but is 

necessary work to keep the route safe and resilient. Always take care when driving through roadworks 

and follow any temporary speed restrictions to ensure everyone stays safe on our roads. 

You can check travel times and the status of SH1 via www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c or phone 0800 4 

HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49). Bad weather can cause delays or even road closures so it’s important 

to check at least two hours before you leave and at key decision points when you’re on your trip. 

REMINDERS FOR TRAVELLING BETWEEN PICTON AND CHRISTCHURCH: 

• There are two routes to choose from: SH1 via Kaikōura (allow 

a minimum of 5.5 hours) or the alternate route via Lewis Pass 

(allow a minimum of 6.5 hours). 

• Two sections of SH1 are closed overnight (7.30pm–7.30am) 

due to ongoing repair work. They are (north of Kaikōura) between 

Mangamaunu and Clarence and (south of Kaikōura) between 

Peketa and the SH1/Leader Road intersection. 

• The alternate route via Lewis Pass is open 24/7 – as is the Inland 

Road (Route 70). 

Remember that the 

clocks go back one 

hour on Sunday 1 April 

(Easter Sunday) for 

daylight saving.

Shoddy repairs 


Advertising 

FeAture 

When I say “shoddy repairs” to 

people in the North Island or the West 

Island where I come from, they have 

absolutely no idea what I’m talking 

about. They have no understanding 

what shoddy repairs really means. 

That’s because anywhere else in the 

world where a natural disaster has 

occurred the Insurance company will 

either do the repairs themselves and 

stand behind those repairs or pay 

cash out to you to take the risk and 

do the repairs yourself. 

Not in Christchurch, Christchurch is another reality, 

we have EQC. After I left EQC and before I started 

my business whenever I told anyone about my idea to 

challenge EQC reports I lost count of the people that 

told me,” You’re crazy”. I was told, “Your business 

will never work here, don’t you know, we are the only 

country in the world that has EQC, they will look after 

us and we will never need to challenge their reports”. 

After 7 years the truth is out there, and you must 

challenge the EQC assessments and repairs carried out to 

your homes. 

“Who’s to blame” 

The previous government want you to believe it was the 

fault of the builders trying to cut corners. Of course, the 

builders involved are not blameless, but, they are not 

solely responsible. To many people this was just a series 

of unfortunate events and gross incompetence. I do 

not believe that, I believe this was a well-orchestrated 

takeover of the entire process by the Government and 

those beholden to it or benefiting from it. We all know 

that all governments lie, some more than others. But 

what happened here was a well thought-out, wellorchestrated 

hoodwinking of an entire city and nation. 

The tools the then government used included EQC, 

The Red Zone, The Residential Advisory Service (RAS), 

The Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP), 

the media, the legal system, MBIE and professional 

experts. The result is billions of dollars being denied to 

homeowners with damaged homes and a damaged 

Christchurch housing stock that will take generations to 

recover. 

Perhaps the most insidious program of all was the 

Christchurch Home Repair Program (CHRP), with about 

90,000 homes repaired under this program. I’m not going 

to say all the repairs carried out were failures. What I will 

say is that a significant amount of the more difficult repairs 

had work done 

on them that 

did not meet 

building standards let alone the much 

higher standard of the insurance 

policies. Significant damage has 

been ignored and when challenged 

explained away as pre-existing. After 

seven years of re-assessing EQC 

work we’ve seen it all. From a jandal 

being used to pack a pile to a pile 

being cut through so there was no 

need to get a plumber to move a 

pipe and EQC refusing to lift carpets 

to see if the slabs were cracked. 

THERE IS 

NO TIME 

TO DELAY, 

YOU NEED 

TO TAKE 

ACTION 

NOW 

CHRP, but many, many more are 

completely unaware of the damage 

caused and damage ignored under 

CHRP. We know EQC give estimates 

of as low as 600 and as high as 

3,000 homes that have suffered 

shoddy repairs. I believe the actual 

number is much higher, in the tens 

of thousands, but only time will 

tell. The fact is, no one knows the 

actual number because there are no 

records that could be relied upon. 

Proper assessments were never done by EQC. 

What we do know from fighting for so many homeowners 

with shoddy repairs, is that many of the repairs have 

covered up the actual damage. Foundation damage 

hidden behind epoxy glue, plaster and paint, piles packed 

on poor ground and doors and windows shaved to fit. 

What you must do 

To get justice you have to fight for your rights, 

however getting justice is very expensive. You will 

need to have very deep pockets and some or all of 

the following: Builders, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, 

Geotech Engineers, Lawyers and a lot of your own 

personal time. Or you can pass all of that on to us to 

fund and manage. 

If you can afford it 

• you must get your repairs checked, by independent 

experts. 

• If there is unaddressed damage, get a lawyer. Find 

one that doesn’t work for Insurance companies. 

If you can’t afford it 

• Call us, we are New Zealand’s largest earthquake 

litigation funder. 

• We pay for an independent expert to assess the repairs 

and damage. 

• If there is no damage and the repairs have been carried 

out correctly, you pay nothing, and our contract is 

terminated. 

• However, if damage is found or the repairs are substandard, 

we fund everything it takes to prove your 

claim until settlement. 

• We operate a “No win, No fee” system of funding. 

• At settlement we take back the costs outlaid and a 

percentage of the settlement.

Question in the subject line 



Employment at risk 

Lianne Dalziel 

WE ARE a country of small 

businesses and over the last 

two years our businesses have 

created 245,000 additional jobs 

providing careers and better 

futures for as many individuals 

and their families. 

So why are Labour and NZ 

First currently pushing prounion 

employment law changes 

through Parliament, significantly 

increasing business costs and 

putting jobs in danger? 

We have one of the strongest 

job markets in the world, with 

the third highest rate of employment 

in the developed world and 

one of the highest rates of fulltime 

employment. Yet, in spite of 

this success, Labour is willing to 

put it at risk to help their union 

backers. 

The Government is driving 

employment law changes 

through Parliament that will 

make it harder for businesses to 

innovate to boost productivity, 

increase red tape for hiring new 

staff, and give unions rights 

they haven’t had before. In fact, 

the Employment Relations 

Amendment Bill contains 14 

changes which will add costs to 

businesses and make it harder to 

compete. 

The Government fails to 

explain why these changes are 

needed. In an environment of 

record job growth, they make 

no sense for the New Zealand 

economy, employers, or the 82 

per cent of workers who do not 

belong to a union. It appears this 

is all a simple payoff for Labour’s 

union supporters at the expense 

of everyone else. 

But, the good news is it is 

not too late to make your voice 

heard. Members of Parliament 

are currently reviewing the Bill 

and a consultation is open.

Huge event for city 

ON EASTER Sunday, I will have 

the privilege of welcoming the 

first teams that will participate 

in the biggest celebration of 

sport our city has ever seen, 

– the Golden Oldies Sports 

Celebration 2018 – which runs 

from April 1 to 29. 

It’s the first time Golden 

Oldie world events have been 

held in the same place at the 

same time. And it’s huge for 

Christchurch. The estimated 

benefit to Christchurch and 

Canterbury is in the region of 

NZ$33 million. 

THousands of international 

visitors from over a dozen 

countries are winging their way 

to Christchurch, New Zealand, 

from all over the world for this 

golden month of events. 

I easily qualify as a ‘Golden 

Oldie’ myself, as athletes only 

need to be aged over 35 to 

compete in the six different 

sports that will be featured – 

rugby, hockey, netball, golf, 

cricket and lawn bowls. Not 

that I would meet the requisite 

standard for any of them. We 

are excited to have all these 

teams and their supporters here 

from all over the world for this 

incredible celebration of fun, 

friendship and fraternity. 

What I love about 

Christchurch is that we all take 

our hosting role seriously. Give 

our visitors a real Christchurch 

welcome. Let’s make sure our 

visitors enjoy themselves on and 

off the courts, fields and pitches 

at all the sporting events in 

Christchurch. 

ChristchurchNZ has worked 

very hard to turn this into an 

occasion never to be forgotten. 

And when you think about the 

Friendly Games of 1974, it’s 

really who we are as a city. 

I know we have much still 

to do, but these major events 

are incredibly important. 

And it’s great to have an 

organisation that is able to 

ensure we are a great host city 

and that our region realises the 

economic benefits these events 

can bring.

Highlights of summer 

ONE OF the real highlights 

for me of the last few weeks 

has been getting to enjoy the 

wonderful festivals and events 

going on in our city. 

These come as people try to 

enjoy the last of the summer 

sun before we head properly 

into autumn. 

Events like this are a great 

opportunity to pause and 

remember that for everything 

we’ve been through as a city 

over the last seven years since 

the earthquakes, this is an 

amazing city with so much to 

offer. 

A real stand out for me was 

Culture Galore, an outdoor 

multicultural festival. 

There I got to see the full 

range of diversity of the people 

and cultures that make our city 

home. People could enjoy food 

from all over the world as well 

as art, crafts, dance and music. 

With people from more than 80 

cultures choosing to call our city 

home, it was amazing to have 

such diversity on display. 

I also recently got to enjoy 

Hello Hornby, a community 

party in the park. This featured 

everything from karate 

exhibitions to food vendors, 

as well as bouncy slides and

local singers. 

There’s so much happening 

in Christchurch at the moment, 

and such a great positive vibe 

and buzz at so many of these 

events. It’s a great reminder of 

how lucky we are to live where 

we do and how vibrant the 

many communities that make 

up our city are. 

It’s an excellent way to never 

forget that it’s the community 

you live in that truly makes a 

city a home. 

Striking port workers put 

pressure on the Lyttelton 

Port Company’s board of 

directors by targeting the 

neighbourhoods they live in 

with leaflets 

Jessica Scobie – And what 

would they do if leaflets were 

dropped in their 

neighbourhoods 

with their 

addresses printed 

on them alerting 

neighbours that 

any delay in 

delivery of goods 

is thanks to these 

guys? Go ahead 

and strike but 

respect someone’s 

privacy 

Leon Nguyen – What kind 

of pay are these people getting? 

I’ve seen other posts saying their 

pay is fair but hard to tell without 

any figures. 

Stephan Lance Gardiner – 

MESSAGE:

HUNTER 

They get a bloody good pay and 

good hours. 

Wayne Nicholson – And 

I’m sure that the neighbours 

already knew this. How many 

years are these blokes going to 

have to work to make up the 

lost income? Negotiate without 

losing wages and 

disrupting the 

public would be a 

far better outcome. 

While visiting 

Timaru last week 

I saw the results of 

the strike – more 

work for Timaru 

watersiders. Go 

figure. 

Leonie Underdown – 

Striking never achieved anything. 

Get back to the table and sort it 

out. You hardly ever see women 

striking. 

Julian Mitchell – Great 

way to keep the public support. 

Not.

Gardening 

Drunken woman – a 

popular variety of lettuce 

• By Henri Ham 

WHAT’S IN a name? 

I enjoy it when a plant 

has an interesting name or a 

name that makes complete 

sense for it. 

Love in a mist, carolina 

reaper and canterbury bells 

are just some of the plants 

which have, what I consider 

to be, intriguing names. 

But none of those names 

come close to the newest 

variety of lettuce seedlings 

– drunken woman (fringed 

head) lettuce. 

How on earth did it 

get that name? Obviously, 

I’ve done a quick google 

search, and I’ve also asked 

around, but I haven’t found 

a concrete answer yet. 

What I have found, 

is that it’s an incredibly 

popular variety of lettuce 

to have in the garden. 

Many people have said it’s 

their absolute must-grow 

variety because it’s easy to 

grow, tastes good (sweet 

rather than bitter) and, 

importantly, is slow to bolt. 

Drunken woman is an 

Italian heirloom variety 

of lettuce that produces 

attractive bright green 

Sweet smelling sweet peas 

SHELTER: Plant your lettuce seedlings 20cm 

apart. 

leaves with ruffled (almost 

frizzy) edges in a deep 

bronze colour. 

The definition of what 

an heirloom variety is, is 

a hot topic of debate. But, 

generally it means that 

the plant variety is openpollinated 

and that the 

variety has been around for 

50 or more years (some say 

it must be over 100 years). 

And what does openpollinated 

mean? This 

usually refers to seeds/ 

plants that use the birds and 

bees to naturally pollinate 

and will ‘breed true’ – ie 

produce plants roughly 

identical to their parents. 

When it comes to 

COLOUR: Select a sunny, well-drained spot for your 

sweet peas and use bamboo stakes to support 

them. 

• By Henri Ham 

IF YOU like a bit of colour 

and fragrance in your garden 

and your home, then 

look no further than sweet 

peas. 

These lovely flowers are 

super easy to grow, they 

smell great and they look 

lovely outdoors or in a vase. 

Some varieties include 

dwarf mixed, fragrant 

beauty and cut flower 

mixed. All smell lovely, 

but fragrant beauty has a 

stronger smell. And all can 

be grown for cut flowers, 

but the cut flower mix will 

produce more blooms on 

longer stems. 

Lastly, as you’d expect, 

the dwarf variety doesn’t 

grow as tall as the other two 

– it only grows to 30-40cm 

which makes it perfect for 

growing in borders, bedding 

and pots. 

The other two varieties 

grow to around 120-180cm 

and, like most sweet peas, 

need something like a wall or 

trellis to trail and climb over. 

When you’ve got your 

seedlings you need to find 

a place to plant. As mentioned, 

sweet peas grow 

well in pots – particularly 

the dwarf variety which 

don’t require staking and 

will cascade over the edge 

nicely. The other two varieties 

will also grow well in 

large pots. You’ll just need 

to tie four or five bamboo 

stakes into a tee-pee shape 

to support the plants as 

they grow. And make sure 

you plant them in some 

good quality potting mix to 

really help them along their 

way. 

If you’re growing in the 

garden, all you need is a 

sunny, well-drained spot 

next to a wall or some sort 

of support structure. Add 

some netting, wire or light 

wooded frame for the flowers 

to climb up. 

Plant the seedlings about 

20cm apart from each 

planting drunken woman 

lettuce, just grow it like you 

would your other varieties. 

That is, plant it in welldrained 

soil in a sheltered 

spot and space each 

seedling around 20cm 

apart. 

In around four to eight 

weeks you can expect 

your lettuce to be ready to 

harvest. 

Like many other 

gardeners these days, I like 

to just pick the leaves I need 

from the outer edges and 

leave the plant growing in 

the garden. 

Oh, and don’t 

forget to watch out for 

slugs. 

other. And don’t hold back. 

The more you plant, the 

more colour and fragrance 

you’ll add to your garden 

and have for enjoying in 

your home. You can expect 

to your sweet peas to flower 

in around 10 to 12 weeks 

from planting. 

Remember to water but 

avoid over-head watering to 

prevent them getting powdery 

mildew. And, because 

they’re annual plants, pick 

off the flowers once they’re 

spent (this will encourage 

more flowering), and remove 

the whole plant when 

it’s stopped flowering.

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

Beautiful spring blooms are a welcome relief after a dreary winter by 

providing bursts of colour and fragrance in the garden. 

Plant your bulbs in March/April to ensure abundant, healthy blooms 

come spring. If you want to brighten up your garden earlier, plant 

winter potted colour on top of your bulbs for a succession of 

beautiful flowers.

QUESTION 

Just wondered if you know what’s happening 

with my geraniums? 

Today’s winning question came 

from Holly Nutt. Congratulations! 

From your description 

ANSWER and photograph, it would 

appear that your 

geraniums are being attacked by either slugs 

or snails. 

To confi rm this, we suggest heading out to the 

garden with a torch to observe your plant at 

night when most plant damage occurs. 

While the pungent odour of geraniums is often a 

defence against chewing insects and/or slugs 

and snails, in particularly hot/dry summers, 

almost all leafy growth is very appetising to 

these pests! 

To treat the problem, scatter slug pellets around 

the base of the plant (there are pet and child 

friendly products available). Remember that as 

temperatures cool, this problem will slowly 

diminish. 

Products to try: Daltons Boosted Compost or 

Garden Time Compost.

95 

gasson st 

Long-established car light specialists, 

Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their 

lights from a sparkling new address – just 

around the corner from their familiar 

Brougham Street site. 

Just prior to Christmas, the business 

moved from 325 Brougham Street to 95 

Gasson St, where they offer a brighter 

showroom, easier access for their customers 

and plenty of off-street parking. 

“We’re all set up in our new premises,” 

sales manager Richard Vernimmen says, 

“and continuing to provide our customers 

with an extensive range of replacement 

lights for most Japanese, European and 

New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover 

most vehicles on the road, and all our lights 

are fully checked and in perfect working 

order.” 

If they don’t have it in stock, they can 

source it from one of the other branches in 

the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE 

is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of 

car, truck and commercial parts. 

Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair 

service for headlights, with their skilled 

staff of three having 80 years’ experience 

in the automotive trade between them. 

They also specialise in light adjuster and 

light conversion of American 

car lights and their repair 

service includes plastic 

welding, drying out, and 

re-silvering, re-sealing

Their services can also 

be arranged through 

your own local garage or

Tackle off-road tracks 

in Toyota’s Prado 

• By Ross Kiddie 

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO: At home off-road. 

TOYOTA’S Land Cruiser 

Prado could well be 

labelled the quiet achiever. 

For one, its sales figures 

aren’t monumental, it just 

ticks over in the marketplace 

with a steady stream 

of buyers who want one 

of the world’s toughest 

go-anywhere sport utility 

vehicles. 

Secondly, it is just that, 

a vehicle that will take 

you almost anywhere, or 

it will also tow just about 

anything towable with its 

3000kg braked trailer rating. 

True to form, Toyota has 

recently given the Prado a 

facelift and upgrade, major 

changes include an upgrade 

of the Toyota Safety Sense 

system, now incorporating 

autonomous emergency 

braking, lane departure 

alert with sway warning, 

automatic high beam and 

radar cruise control. 

In terms of looks, the 

Prado has had a makeover, 

there’s a new grille, bumper, 

bonnet and lights front 

and rear. 

Elsewhere, the Prado still 

represents all that has made 

it a favourite for those who 

want a vehicle that is recognised 

for being tough. 

Not a lot has changed 

with the driveline, the 

Prado still gets the 2.8-litre 

four-cylinder turbocharged 

diesel which was introduced 

in 2016 and is also 

serving the latest generation 

Hilux, and Fortuner, 

well. Bear in mind, though, 

the V6 petrol engine option 

has been dropped in Prado. 

Prado received the new 

diesel just prior to the new 

Hilux launch here, and it 

stands out for its refined 

operating manner, high 

performance and healthy 

economy. 

The latter is rated by 

Toyota at eight-litre per 

100km (35mpg) on a combined 

average cycle. That 

is the essence of the new 

engine, it is quiet, unflustered 

and just gets about 

its business effectively. The 

power outputs are rated 

at a substantial 130kW 

(3400rpm) and with 

450Nm of torque available 

from just 1600rpm 

to 2400rpm, it is dynamic 

in the respect that it has 

solid grunt through the rev 

band. Take into account, 

too, that considering there 

is a bulky 2.2kg to haul, the 

engine does its job without 

complaint. 

It drives through a sixspeed 

automatic gearbox 

and together they are a 

solid combination; you can 

detect shifts, but given the 

mechanicals are beefy to 

stand up to that inevitable 

off-road challenge, I’m not 

complaining. 

• Price – Toyota Prado 

VX, $88,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4825mm; 

width, 1885mm; 

height, 1890mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

2755cc, 

130kW, 450Nm, sixspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10sec 

• Fuel usage – 

8l/100km 

Drive, obviously is channelled 

through to all four 

wheels, Land Cruiser has 

often been regarded as having 

one of the world’s best 

four-wheel-drive systems, 

on a par with Land Rover 

and Jeep. It has a high and 

low ratio dial, hill descent 

control and centre differential 

lock for those extra 

gnarly, low grip situations. 

The Prado also has suspension 

which is designed 

for off-road situations, the 

independent wishbone 

front end combines with 

a coil spring-located live 

rear axle, add in a 215mm 

ground clearance and you 

have a vehicle which is 

vastly capable off-road. I 

only presented the evaluation 

car with a short shingle 

track excursion parallel 

to the Waimakariri River. 

The weather was fine and 

grip wasn’t challenged, but 

it is nice to know that the 

Prado with its capability 

isn’t likely to let you down 

grip-wise unless you do 

something very stupid. 

The 265/60 x 18in 

Dunlop Grandtrek tyres 

work well in the deep 

shingle, yet they are also 

quiet and controlling on 

sealed road surfaces. The 

Prado won’t go down as 

being a fantastic high speed 

handler, but it does steer 

with reasonable directional 

accuracy and absorbs any 

rough surface undulations 

without upsetting body 

balance. 

It must be said, too, that 

the spring and damper 

rates are most definitely 

biased towards occupant 

comfort, if you are travelling 

on undulating ground 

then you have the satisfaction 

of knowing your kidneys 

aren’t going to take a 

pounding. 

In that respect, the Prado 

is an off-road champion 

and it’s no wonder that it 

has carved out a huge reputation 

in the sport utility 

vehicle market. 

Part of its appeal is the 

price, at a starting point of 

$79,490 it sounds expensive, 

but there is a huge 

amount of kit on Prado 

and it can be seen as the 

quintessential all-rounder. 

While its ability in the 

loose can’t be questioned, 

it’s also an easy-to-drive 

model in the confines of 

the city, its bulk is not 

always apparent and such is 

the ease at which the driveline 

works, it automatically 

puts the driver at rest. 

The test car was carrying 

VX spec and that adds 

about $9500 (VX Limited, 

$99,990) to the price; however, 

it is a Land Cruiser in 

every respect and you can 

save up to around $20,000 

between it and the full 200 

series without compromising 

on much. 

I wouldn’t expect Toyota 

to change the Prado much 

over the next few years. 

Just like the latest iteration, 

there will be facelifts, 

upgrades and the introduction 

of new technology and 

you’d expect nothing less 

from the company. The 

model for 2018 is outstanding, 

and from where I sit 

I can’t imagine how it can 

get any better.

Christ’s win 11th Maddi Cup 

CHRIST’S COLLEGE has had its 

name etched onto the Maadi Cup 

for the 11th time. 

Hamilton Boys’ High School 

led the boys under-18 eight race 

from the 500m mark at the 

New Zealand secondary schools 

rowing regatta on Twizel’s Lake 

Ruataniwha. 

But Christ’s Alex Todhunter, 

Max Goodwin, Sam Darry, Jack 

Elvy, Zac Cran, Will Chaffey, 

Jamie Batchelor, Sean Swanson 

and Guy Flynn (cox) pulled away 

at 1750m clocking a winning 

time of 6min 1.90sec. 

While Hamilton Boys finished 

in the silver spot with 6min 

3.82sec, CBHS came third for the 

second year in a row on 6min 

9.49sec. 

Christ’s College took home 

another four golds in the 

under-15 coxed octuple sculls, 

under-16 coxed eight, under-16 

coxed four and under-17 coxed 

eight. Their under-18 novice 

coxed eight also won silver. 

It was a strong regatta overall 

for Christchurch schools, which 

has seen 10 local rowers named as 

New Zealand junior trialists. 

Isabella Carter (Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School) and Kathryn Glen 

(Villa Maria College) have both 

been selected for the girls trials. 

In the boys trial squad Alex Todhunter, 

Jamie Batchelor and Max 

Goodwin from Christ’s have been 

selected along with Jack Chapman, 

Matthew White, Thomas 

Woelders and Will Gilbert from 

CBHS. Former St Andrew’s 

student Zackary Rumble has also 

been selected for the trial. 

Rangi Ruru retained their title 

as the top girls’ school in rowing 

for the third time running. It 

was close as Rangi beat Waikato 

Diocesan Girls’ School by just 

one point 

Overall, Rangi Ruru won three 

golds in the under-18 novice 

coxed eight, under-16 coxed eight

the singles 20-25, while Adele

bowls team take 

intercity champs 

with two bowls remaining. 

Her first attempt to kill the 

end missed the jack. However, 

once again on her last bowl the 

end was killed. 

It would be third time lucky 

for Canterbury on the final 

end. Winning the end by one 

gave the four a 13-12 victory 

and Canterbury the national 

title. 

Bowls Canterbury chief 

executive Mel Mather believes 

the result was an indication on 

the level of women bowlers in 

the region. 

Match winner Boyd travelled 

to the Gold Coast on Monday 

morning to meet up with the 

Blackjacks, which includes 

Canterbury bowlers Katelyn 

Inch and Tayla Bruce, ahead of 

the Commonwealth Games. 

“Our females are just killing 

it,” said Mather. “Three out 

of five members in the Commonwealth 

Games squad and 

now holding the national title 

speaks pretty loudly (for Canterbury).” 

The Canterbury men were 

unable defend the national title 

they won 12 months ago, failing 

to advance from pool-play. 

TITLE: The 

Canterbury 

women’s 

team 

celebrate 

winning the 

national 

intercentre 

title. 


CASHMERE’S PREMIER men’s 

team made history on Saturday 

when they won the Canterbury 

Tennis club title for a record fifth 

straight year. 

The squad of brothers James, 

Matt and Tim Meredith, 

brothers Tim and Johnny 

McHarg, and Harry Weeds and 

Matt Grant went undefeated 

through the competition and 

beat Elmwood 15-3 on points in 

the final on Saturday. 

“It was a great day for the 

club,” said James Meredith. 

“The Elmwood guys are a 

great bunch. They came out and 

celebrated with us afterwards. 

I’m not sure I could do the same 

if it was the other way around,” 

he joked. 

The tie was far closer than 

the final scoreline reads. James 

Meredith and Grant won their 

top doubles match against 

Hayden Joblin and Jack Tiller 

6-4, 6-4. Cashmere also claimed

men’s club 

title for a

the bottom doubles in straight 

sets 7-6, 6-2. 

The pair of Matt Meredith 

and Weeds faced four set points, 

down 4-5 in the opening set 

against brothers Elliot and 

Lawrence Darling. 

Meredith and Weeds fought off 

the four set points to eventually 

win the first set, which proved 

crucial going into the singles. 

In the top singles match, James 

Meredith produces a serve and 

ball striking masterclass to 

breeze past Joblin 6-0, 6-2. This 

meant that Cashmere needed 

to win just one set from the 

remaining singles ties to claim 

the title. 

However, Elmwood still had 

a glimmer of hope by holding 

the early advantage in all three 

remaining matches. 

The title was secured when 

Weeds recovered from losing 

the first set 0-6 to James Watt. 

Following a pep talk from Tim 

Meredith, Weeds found his game 

to win the final two sets 6-3, 6-2. 

“Tim reassured me not to 

panic after the first set. James 

played amazing in the first set. 

I knew I just had to stay on 

court as long as I could and try 

to grind something out,” said 

Weeds. 

Cashmere put the icing on 

the cake on Sunday when their 

division one men’s and division 

two women’s teams both won 

titles. 

The men’s division one final 

was also played against Elmwood 

and contained three players who 

turned out on Saturday in the 

form of Tiller, Weeds and Grant. 

The match was as tight as they 

come with the result found on 

a count back of games 59-52 to 

Cashmere after both teams won 

three matches and seven sets.

Kearney shuffles Warriors pack for Roosters match 

VETERAN ADAM Blair is listed 

at loose forward and Agnatius 

Paasi at prop for the Warriors 

match against the Roosters in 

Sydney on Saturday. 

With regular interchange prop 

Sam Lisone suspended, Chris 

Satae is in line to play his first 

NRL match of the season and the 

fourth of his career. 

Added to the extended bench 

is prop Albert Vete while the rest 

of the squad is unchanged. Back 

rower Simon Mannering hasn’t 

yet been cleared to play 

as he recovers from a 

shoulder injury picked 

up in the trial against 

Gold Coast. 

“Simon’s getting closer 

but remains a week-byweek 

proposition,” said 

coach Stephen Kearney. 

“We lose Sam through 

suspension, which is 

unfortunate because he 

has been doing a wonderful 

job for us off the bench. 


Stephen Kearney 

“At the same time, it 

provides an opportunity 

for Chris, who has 

been impressive for us 

in the Intrust Super 

Premiership.” 

Satae clocked up 

72min in last Saturday’s 

16-18 ISP loss to 

Penrith, making 177m 

from 18 carries plus 32 

tackles. 

He also gained 103m 

in the home loss to Canterbury- 

Bankstown and ran 185m against 

North Sydney. 

Following their dramatic 

20-19 success in Canberra, the 

Warriors face another tough 

away assignment this week 

before returning home for the 

Auckland double-header on 

April 7. 

After being stunned 10-8 by 

Wests Tigers in the opening 

round, the Roosters rebounded 

with convincing wins over the 

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 



(30-12) and Newcastle Knights 

(38-8) to surge to third on 

the ladder just behind the 

Warriors. 

In putting together a 3-0 start 

to the season for the first time 

in the club’s history, the secondplaced 

Warriors share the 

distinction with leader St George 

Illawarra of being the only two 

unbeaten sides after the first 

three rounds.

Hung claims 

biggest win of 

golfing career 

JULIANA HUNG has claimed 

the biggest victory of her 

amateur career by winning the 

New Zealand stroke play at the 

Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club 

Hung led from start to finish 

to win her maiden women’s NZ 

stroke play title with a final round 

of even-par as she showed patience 

in difficult conditions to be 

crowned the country’s best. 

It was the second year in a row that 

a Canterbury golfer has claimed 

the title after Amelia Garvey’s success 

in 2017. 

Hung’s two-shot victory (which 

was a seven shot lead with three 

to play) goes down as the 16-yearold’s 

biggest victory to date in what 

is shaping up to be a very promising 

career. 

Hung, who plays at Russley, was 

unable to take the smile off her 

face after the win. “It definitely 

feels pretty good, I’m so happy that 

I won after playing solid all week 

and it’s easily the biggest win of my 

career,” she said. 

“We have some pretty good 

players in Canterbury, including 

the guys, so it’s always nice to play 

well for the region.” 

Hung will have the chance to 

defend her title on home soil next 

year at the Christchurch Golf Club. 

Marryatt rides to Oceania u23 title 


AFTER MISSING out on a 

national title at the start of the 

year Jake Marryatt has gone one 

better by winning the under-23 

time trial at the Oceania road 

cycling championships in 

Tasmania. 

Marryatt didn’t just win the 

time trial he dominated it. The 

21-year-old finished the 41km 

course in 51min 13.67sec, 57sec 

clear of his nearest rival. 

More impressively, though, 

his time would have been 

enough to see him finish second 

in the elite race. He was just 

10sec off double Olympic rowing 

champion Hamish Bond’s 

time. Bond won the elite time 

trial. 

“I knew that I was on a good 

time because I felt pretty strong 

early on,” said Marryatt. 

While he knew he was in 

the groove during the early 

stages of his ride, Marryatt was 

unsure about his form in the 

final weeks before the trip to 

Tasmania. 

However, his doubts were 

brushed off when he smashed 

the under-23 and open division 

track records at the Canterbury 

time trial championships earlier 

this month. His time of 30min 

57.54sec was a whole minute 

and a half quicker than the 

previous under-23 record over 

the 25km course. 

In January, Marryatt 

was disappointed with his 

performance at the road 

national championships in 

Napier. He finished second 

in the time trial 17sec behind 

fellow Christchurch rider 

Ian Talbot, but the time trial 

specialist didn’t let the setback 

get in the way of an even bigger 

goal. 

“It was always my goal to win 

the Oceania title after finishing 

Value Cars 

www.valuecarswarehouse.co.nz 

32 Moorhouse Ave | 03 366 7768 

second at nationals,” said 

Marryatt. 

“I’ve visualised winning this 

race for some time. I was really 

over the moon when it became 

a reality.” 

His drive for success 

doesn’t end at Oceania level. 

Marryatt now has his eyes on 

the under-23 world title. To 

accomplish that goal, he first 

hopes to make the New Zealand 

team for the 2018 road world 

championships in Austria in 

September.

WE’RE BACK! 

IN SPITE OF losing two of their 

last three matches – against the 

Blues and Jaguares – and only 

just edging the lowly Sunwolves, 

Lions coach Swys de Bruin says 

there is no panic in the camp 

ahead of their clash against the 

Crusaders on Monday morning. 

After making a fantastic start 

to the 2018 Super Rugby campaign, 

the Lions have come 

unstuck in the last three weeks. 

And all of a sudden questions 

are being asked about the 

new-look coaching team with 

de Bruin in charge, reported The 

Johannesburg Star. 

“There is nothing that is specifically 

wrong,” said de Bruin, just 

hours after arriving back from 

the trip to Buenos Aires where 

his team lost 49-35 on Saturday. 

“We’re far from being at panic 

stations . . . all teams win and 

lose; these windows happen. 

We’re still second on the log with 

 


four wins from six games and if 

you look at our stats you’ll see 

we’re in good shape in a lot of 

departments.” 

Indeed. The Lions are leading 

the way when it comes to 

the attacking side of things, but 

defensively they have been found 

wanting. 

“What’s so disappointing is 

we’re letting tries in we didn’t in 

the past, and shouldn’t be,” said 

de Bruin.

“It’s so frustrating at the moment 

. . . we score a try, then we 

let them right back with a try. 

Most of our stats are so good, 

including our lineouts (at 92 per 

cent success to be second in the 

rankings). It’s just soft moments 

that are costing us. 

“This is sport though, these 

things happen. The Jaguares on 

Saturday were in one of those 

moods again; they played brilliantly, 

the best I’ve seen from 



them,” said de Bruin. 

“We just need to keep working 

hard, and that’s what me 

and Joey (Mongalo, the defence 

coach) are doing every day. We 

simply need to cut out those soft 

moments that are hurting us.”

Show Homes - the ultimate way 

to shop around 

In Christchurch and the surrounding rural districts we are blessed 

with an extensive array of very good quality show homes. 

Building companies build show homes 

to demonstrate their workmanship, display 

innovative design ideas and present a 

snapshot into a new and luxurious lifestyle 

featuring all the latest in materials, fittings 

and fixtures. 

A show home can inspire you in a 

way nothing else can. You can absorb 

the ambiance they present, admire the 

innovative techniques, new materials 

and technology all in one place, under a 

roof that you may just select for your new 

home. 

At a show home you can ask questions, 

take notes and compare them to other 

builders’ presentations. You don’t have to 

visualise or imagine full scale from a photo 

in a glossy, you can simply see at a glance, 

often instinctively, features you like, things 

you would avoid and clever innovation 

that you never would have thought of. 

Best of all you will see the building 

companies’ attention to detail, from 

design, construction and finish through 

to interior decor, outdoor living and 

landscaping. 

Show homes are the perfect way to get a 

good idea of pricing, discover what is good 

quality and value, learn about superior 

use of space, future-proofing, ongoing 

maintenance and long term returns. So 

what are you waiting for? Check out our 

maps, grab a notepad and pencil and

Easter 

Church Services in 

your community 

A moveable feast 

that is much more 

than chocolate 

Easter is both the most sombre and 

joyful time in the Christian calendar, 

calling believers to remember 

the crucifixion of Christ and His 

resurrection. Its date changes 

each year, making it a ‘moveable 

feast.’ The Easter story lies at the 

heart of the Christian faith and its 

importance is celebrated with special 

celebrations. But just what does it all 

mean? 

The week leading up to Easter 

Sunday is Holy Week which starts 

with Palm Sunday, commemorating 

Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem. It is 

marked in many churches by giving 

palm fronds, or a local equivalent 

like flax, which represents the way 

He was welcomed and revered. 

Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, 

remembers the Last Supper where 

the first Holy Communion was 

established and is a fundamental 

feature of many Christian services 

2,000 years later. The day also 

recognises Jesus’ betrayal, arrest 

and trial and is marked in Christian 

churches by services of foot-washing 

and the stripping of alters.

ALL WELCOME 

Reverend Anne Price – 379 5236 

That is followed by Good Friday, 

the date on which Jesus Christ was 

executed by crucifixion and the 

markings on the hot cross buns we 

all enjoy are representative of that. 

As well as being a public holiday, it 

is a solemn acknowledgement of the 

horrific death that ultimately led to 

the establishment of the Christian 

faith. Catholics and Anglicans alike 

commemorate the events of Good 

Friday in the Stations of the Cross, 

the church bells are not rung and 

alters remain bare. 

Holy Week concludes with Easter 

Sunday, the most significant 

celebration in the Christian 

calendar and a time to rejoice. It 

celebrates Christ’s resurrection 

and the triumph of good over evil. 

Christians across Christchurch will 

be attending church services and it 

is the day when arguably everyone’s 

favourite part of Easter – chocolate 

eggs – are given. So, when you are 

enjoying your Easter Eggs this year, 

take some time to reflect on the true
