Post-quake<br />

children<br />

inherit<br />

trauma<br />

from<br />

parents<br />

CHILDREN BORN after the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake have<br />

inherited trauma from their parents<br />

through their DNA, new data<br />

shows.<br />

Experts say it is similar to what<br />

can happen to children of war<br />

veterans.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y say the new data, and the<br />

ongoing trauma experienced by<br />

children born before the quake, is<br />

contributing to a spike in young<br />

people seeking mental health treatment<br />

for a range of conditions and<br />

behavioural problems, including<br />

anxiety and concerning sexual<br />

behaviour.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> earthquake’s effects are likely<br />

to stay with us for the foreseeable<br />

future; possibly for generations, just<br />

as those effects experienced postwar,”<br />

Canterbury District Health<br />

Board’s Dr Harith Swadi said.<br />

Nearly 3100 new cases of children<br />

and youth under the age of 18 were<br />

referred for mental health treatment<br />

through the CDHB last year. That<br />

figure was the highest in more than<br />

a decade and had been steadily<br />

climbing since 2011 when it was<br />

1510.<br />

Dr Swadi said as well as being<br />

triggered by direct experience of<br />

a major traumatic event, chronic<br />

stress could be passed on to the<br />

future children of adults who lived<br />

through traumatic events by changes<br />

to DNA known as epigenetics.<br />

Several studies in the United<br />

States and Australia have shown<br />

some children of Vietnam War<br />

veterans have inherited PTSD from<br />

their parents.<br />

INTERESTING DATA on a<br />

DNA link to children born post<br />

the February 2011 quake (see<br />

page 1).<br />

We all know the elderly and<br />

children suffered most psychologically<br />

from the trauma of<br />

the quake and the aftershocks,<br />

but this data is very disturbing.<br />

Sport Canterbury put on a<br />

great night a few Fridays ago<br />

to honour the province’s top<br />

sports men and women – from<br />

youth to the elite seniors like<br />

Tom Walsh and Sophie Pascoe.<br />

A highlight was the induction<br />

of Pat Barwick as a Sporting<br />

Legend. Leaguie Frank<br />

Endacott was also inducted.<br />

We profile Pat on pages<br />

22/23.<br />

Pat is a New Zealand<br />

hockey icon, and has been a<br />

tremendous player, coach, and<br />

administrator.<br />

She’s one of these people who<br />

when she talks, people listen.<br />

She has a way of getting the<br />

message across.<br />

And on another sporting<br />

note, our front page photos say<br />

it all – the Golden Oldies look<br />

like great fun.<br />

At a Glance<br />

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST<br />

This week in history saw the<br />

first regular supply of electricity<br />

from Lake Coleridge received<br />

in Christchurch on <strong>April</strong> 1,<br />

1915. On the same day in 1932<br />

New Regent St was opened.<br />

It was built on the site of the<br />

old Colosseum. On <strong>April</strong> 1,<br />

1949, the Sign of the Takahe<br />

(right) was opened. This was<br />

the completion of the Summit<br />

Rd development begun by<br />

Harry Ell in 1908. On <strong>April</strong> 1,<br />

Fundraiser for<br />

stem cell operation<br />

1979, the Lyttelton road tunnel<br />

became toll-free. On <strong>April</strong> 3,<br />

1967, the re-built Ferrymead<br />

Bridge was opened. On <strong>April</strong> 2,<br />

1873, the first and second town<br />

halls were destroyed by fire. It<br />

took 99 years to replace this<br />

civic amenity. On <strong>April</strong> 5, 1844,<br />

Frederick Tuckett and a party<br />

including surveyors, landed<br />

at Lyttelton from the Deborah<br />

looking for a suitable site for a<br />

Scottish settlement in the South<br />

NEWS 14<br />

Island. <strong>The</strong>y subsequently got<br />

lost in the swamps, so it is not<br />

surprising that their eventual<br />

choice was Otago. On the same<br />

day in 1985, the Duke and<br />

Duchess of Gloucester visited<br />

the city. On <strong>April</strong> 8, 1883, the<br />

first shipment of frozen Canterbury<br />

lamb left Lyttelton for the<br />

United Kingdom on the British<br />

King. On the same day in 1959,<br />

Billy Graham drew 50,000<br />

people to Lancaster Park.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Still crazy about crêpes<br />

French delights<br />

at food show<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

SHEENA HEMENS hadn’t<br />

made a single crêpe until she fell<br />

in love with a Frenchman.<br />

But while the relationship did<br />

not last, Ms Hemens now owns<br />

the rapidly expanding cafe, Maison<br />

de Crêpes, which is about<br />

to make its debut at <strong>The</strong> Food<br />

Show tomorrow.<br />

“I have a background in marketing<br />

so it was out of left field<br />

but I met a young Frenchman<br />

and fell in love,” she said.<br />

“He’s from Brittany, home of<br />

crêpes, and was bemused why<br />

there weren’t any crêpes in New<br />

Zealand. And while we broke up<br />

at the end of last year, I was still<br />

very much in love with crêpes.”<br />

Before moving into the world<br />

of hospitality, Ms Hemens had<br />

spent more than a decade in the<br />

corporate jungle as a marketing<br />

executive.<br />

Until 2015, she said she had<br />

never so much as served someone<br />

a coffee.<br />

“My business brain kicked<br />

into play and I saw a massive<br />

opportunity for a good quality<br />

crêpe brand,” Ms Hemens said<br />

Following a whirlwind crêpemaking<br />

course on Skype with a<br />

50-year French crêpier veteran<br />

who couldn’t speak a word of<br />

English, Maison de Crêpes was<br />

born in the form of a kiosk in<br />

<strong>The</strong> Colombo.<br />

“I sold my house, used my<br />

inheritance . . . I put everything<br />

CATERING: Sheena Hemens, owner of the expanding cafe, Maison de Crêpes, will be<br />

showcasing crêpes at <strong>The</strong> Food Show from Friday.<br />

into this business, boots and<br />

all,” she said.<br />

She was spending more than<br />

50 hours a week in the shop in<br />

the beginning, it became her<br />

life.<br />

From its days as a kiosk,<br />

Maison de Crêpes has since<br />

expanded into a full cafe at<br />

Carlton Courts on Papanui Rd.<br />

But Ms Hemens said her<br />

dream is to “make crêpes the<br />

new sushi” and expand the<br />

brand around the country, then<br />

eventually take it global.<br />

“We’re opening a second,<br />

bigger shop later in the year in<br />

the city centre. <strong>The</strong>n I’d like to<br />

expand around New Zealand<br />

and eventually try and take the<br />

brand overseas,” she said.<br />

Ms Hemens and Maison<br />

de Crêpes will be showcasing<br />

crêpes at Horncastle Arena from<br />

tomorrow until Sunday. She said<br />

it’s another step in her mission<br />

to get Kiwis to love crêpes as<br />

much as she does.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Food Show will feature<br />

more than 80 local and national<br />

exhibitors and displays from<br />

chefs, including MasterChef<br />

New Zealand’s Nadia Lim and<br />

Chelsea Winter.<br />

Preliminary biopsy results positive for Maddie<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

MADDIE COLLINS is back<br />

home after a short trip to<br />

<strong>Star</strong>ship Children’s Health prior<br />

to Easter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 14-year-old and her<br />

parents were flown to<br />

Auckland last week after blood<br />

test results indicated something<br />

was wrong with her new<br />

kidney.<br />

This comes just three months<br />

after Maddie’s “miracle” kidney<br />

transplant.<br />

Maddie’s kidney biopsy,<br />

which was scheduled for this<br />

week, was brought forward to<br />

last Wednesday.<br />

Her mother Sarah<br />

Manson-Collins said the<br />

preliminary biopsy results are<br />

positive.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> biopsy’s shown that<br />

everything looks okay and that<br />

there’s no sign of any rejection,”<br />

she said.<br />

Mrs Manson-Collins said<br />

Maddie will have another blood<br />

test today and they will be given<br />

the formal biopsy results in the<br />

next few days.<br />

She said there is a possibility<br />

surgeons took a good sample of<br />

the kidney but they will have to<br />

wait and see.<br />

In Brief<br />

CYCLIST ATTACKED<br />

A cyclist was taken to hospital<br />

after he was attacked by two people<br />

on Matipo St, Riccarton, about<br />

11.20am yesterday. Police said the<br />

victim was stopped and assaulted<br />

by the pair who were known<br />

to him. His bike was stolen. He<br />

suffered moderate injuries.<br />

ONE-OFF MARKET<br />

A one-off artisan market will be<br />

held at Victoria Square on Saturday<br />

to celebrate its reopening and<br />

recognise its history as a trading<br />

place. Matapopore trustee Joseph<br />

Hullen said it was formerly known<br />

as Market Square, with many<br />

Ngāi Tūāhuriri from Kaiapoi<br />

going there to sell their produce to<br />

European settlers. About 30 local<br />

stalls will be there from 10am-1pm.<br />

In the case of bad weather, the<br />

market will be postponed until<br />

<strong>April</strong> 21.<br />

SHIFT TO QE II POOL<br />

After the new QE II Park<br />

Recreation and Sport Centre<br />

opens in June, the city council is<br />

forecasting a 25 per cent decrease<br />

in patrons at Papanui’s Graham<br />

Condon Sport and Recreation<br />

Centre. Graham Condon currently<br />

has about 820,000 users annually,<br />

but once the new centre opens<br />

on Travis Rd, staff predict that<br />

number will drop to 600,000.<br />

LANCASTER PARK WEBCAM<br />

A webcam is giving people a front<br />

row view of one of the largest<br />

demolition projects in the country.<br />

<strong>The</strong> webcam has been installed<br />

at Lancaster Park and will record<br />

every stage of the deconstruction<br />

process. <strong>The</strong> images, which will<br />

refresh every 10min, can be found<br />

on the city council website.<br />

Cathedral site a ‘civic<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

OVERGROWN weeds<br />

and vegetation on the<br />

Christ Church Cathedral<br />

site have been labelled a<br />

“civic disgrace” and an<br />

“embarrassment” to the<br />

city.<br />

Central Ward city<br />

councillor Deon Swiggs<br />

has launched a tirade<br />

about the state of the site,<br />

which has weeds, gorse,<br />

and overgrown vegetation<br />

engulfing it.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> heart of our city is<br />

being left to rot like this,<br />

and it is not good enough,”<br />

he said yesterday.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> grounds of<br />

the Cathedral are<br />

a civic disgrace, an<br />

embarrassment to our city<br />

and disrespectful to all<br />

who are putting effort to<br />

develop around the area.”<br />

He asked city council<br />

chief executive Karleen<br />

Edwards on Tuesday<br />

to look into what was<br />

happening with the site,<br />

and if the city council<br />

could help.<br />

DISGRACE: City councillor Deon Swiggs says<br />

the state of the Christ Church Cathedral site is an<br />

embarrassment, and it should be tidied up.<br />

Cathedral’s restoration<br />

would take years, but in the<br />

mean time the site could be<br />

kept in a tidy state.<br />

He said in November,<br />

Christ Church Cathedral<br />

Reinstatement Trust<br />

chairman Peter Guthrey<br />

said he wanted the site<br />

cleared by early in the new<br />

year.<br />

“It’s now <strong>April</strong> and I’m<br />

calling time on it,” he said.<br />

wish to see the site tidied,<br />

but it was “dangerous” and<br />

the first priority was health<br />

“<strong>The</strong> potential of<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

disgrace, embarrassment’<br />

He said they were looking at<br />

“appropriate solutions.”<br />

Minister for Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Megan Woods<br />

said discussions were under way<br />

between the trust and the Church<br />

Property Trustees on finalising a<br />

joint venture agreement to establish<br />

a joint project delivery entity<br />

for the restoration.<br />

That would happen in the next<br />

few weeks, she said.<br />

“One of the key aspects of this<br />

negotiation will be the timing<br />

and sequencing of the clean-up<br />

and restoration of the Cathedral<br />

site, including health and safety<br />

considerations,” Dr Woods said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> trust is working with<br />

Regenerate Christchurch, and<br />

around the tidy-up of the Square.<br />

I am hopeful of seeing more progress<br />

in the near future.”<br />

Central City Business Association<br />

manager Paul Lonsdale told<br />

<strong>Star</strong>.kiwi the Cathedral had been<br />

sitting there for seven years and<br />

the weeds on the site had got “out<br />

of control.”<br />

“It’s one of the things that<br />

the tourists comment about the<br />

most.”<br />

He said Mr Guthrey was working<br />

hard to have the site cleared.<br />

<strong>The</strong> issue comes as Regenerate<br />

Christchurch comes under fire<br />

for the lack of progress on plans<br />

for Cathedral Square, and the<br />

cost so far.<br />

A strategy, with recommendations,<br />

time frames and costs for<br />

the Square was meant to be done<br />

by October – but that had still not<br />

been finished.<br />

It had spent more than<br />

$850,000 on the Square so far<br />

on technical reports, design<br />

development, delivery costings<br />

and engagement.<br />

Tourists’ take on problem<br />

SYDNEY COUPLE Duncan<br />

Brown and Emily Pisano visited<br />

the Christ Church Cathedral<br />

for the first time yesterday as<br />

part of their New Zealand trip.<br />

Mr Brown said it would be<br />

a shame to let the site become<br />

completely overgrown, as it<br />

would be difficult to get back to<br />

an appropriate standard.<br />

But he said logistically it<br />

could be difficult to deal with<br />

the vegetation while the site was<br />

cordoned off.<br />

“It’s probably a bit dangerous<br />

to get into some of it and take<br />

it out.”<br />

Ms Pisano said the weeds and<br />

vegetation showed how time<br />

had passed since the earthquakes.<br />

Frank and Margaret Lewins,<br />

of the Sunshine Coast, stopped<br />

in Christchurch during their<br />

rail tour of the country.<br />

Mr Lewins said the Cathedral<br />

and the surrounding vegetation<br />

was the consequence of a major<br />

natural disaster.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> weeds and things give a<br />

sense of the loss and how long<br />

it’s been like that,” Mrs Lewins<br />

said.<br />

“I didn’t notice the weeds as<br />

much because you’re looking up<br />

at the dramatic destruction.”<br />

Bid for stem cell operation in Russia<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

LISA FISHER wants to be able<br />

to watch her 13-year-old son<br />

play sport, walk the dog, go to<br />

the supermarket, and do her<br />

housework in a day.<br />

But the 44-year-old has to<br />

live with severe fatigue, constant<br />

pins and needles on her right<br />

side, numbness, and walks with<br />

a limp after being diagnosed<br />

with multiple sclerosis over a<br />

year ago.<br />

Her condition is not yet considered<br />

bad enough to qualify<br />

for Government funding for<br />

disease-modifying drugs.<br />

So, Mrs Fisher, husband Kelvin<br />

and son Corban are fundraising<br />

$100,000 to get her to Moscow,<br />

Russia, in August for a stem cell<br />

transplant.<br />

<strong>The</strong> procedure involves removing<br />

Mrs Fisher’s stem cells,<br />

giving her chemotherapy, and<br />

reintroducing the stem cells back<br />

into her body.<br />

It can halt the effects of MS,<br />

which damages nerve cells in<br />

the brain, and can reverse the<br />

symptoms.<br />

“I’ll be able to go to my son’s<br />

sports games instead of feeling<br />

too tired to get out of bed. I’ll<br />

be able to do the house chores<br />

in one day. To be able to walk<br />

the dog again – it’s just the little<br />

things,” Mrs Fisher said.<br />

“I don’t want to sit at home and<br />

fall to bits. If that means going<br />

to the other side of the world I’m<br />

going to try and get there.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> family set up a Givealittle<br />

page, which has raised about<br />

$24,000, and will hold a charity<br />

auction at Hornby Working<br />

Men’s Club on <strong>April</strong> 21.<br />

Items for auction include a<br />

signed singlet from Golden State<br />

Warriors point guard Steph Curry,<br />

a year’s supply of Monteith’s,<br />

a five-night trip to Mooloolaba,<br />

a signed Black Caps shirt and<br />

bat, three nights accommodation<br />

in Wanaka with ski passes, and<br />

more.<br />

Heinz Watties, said he teed<br />

to get her<br />

to Russia.<br />

MARTIN<br />

HUNTER<br />

up a lot of the prizes through<br />

contacts, including the Curry<br />

singlet, which was organised<br />

through his social basketball<br />

team.<br />

He said they were blown away<br />

by the donations to raise the<br />

$100,000.<br />

“I’d love to be able to say we’re<br />

in a position to be able to pay for<br />

that, but we are not.”<br />

COLLECTABLE: Golden<br />

State Warriors Steph Curry’s<br />

singlet is one of the items<br />

up for auction.<br />

After Mrs Fisher’s leg went<br />

numb in October 2016, doctors<br />

initially thought she may have<br />

had a stroke. It was later diagnosed<br />

as MS.<br />

She saw a story on 60 Minutes<br />

about Auckland woman Donna<br />

Agnew who was going to Russia<br />

to receive the treatment.<br />

“I messaged her and talked to<br />

her on the phone and she said<br />

just do it.”<br />

Mrs Fisher said the treatment<br />

would take five to seven weeks.<br />

•Tickets to the charity<br />

auction are $100, which<br />

include a three-course meal<br />

and table drinks. To buy<br />

Anger over inquiry into signs<br />

• By Emily O’Connell<br />

“PETTY, underhanded and<br />

stupid.”<br />

That’s what Templeton<br />

Residents’ Association chairman<br />

Garry Kilday is calling<br />

the city council’s investigation<br />

into signs urging a stop to the<br />

planned controversial quarry<br />

in the area.<br />

On Tuesday,<br />

Templeton<br />

resident<br />

Janice Van<br />

Tongeren<br />

approached<br />

a city council<br />

official after<br />

Garry Kilday<br />

he had peered<br />

over her gate<br />

on Globe Bay Drive.<br />

Mrs Van Tongeren said he<br />

told her he was taking note<br />

of the addresses that had ‘NO<br />

QUARRY’ signs on their<br />

property.<br />

He told Mrs Van Tongeren<br />

there was a “possibility”<br />

residents would have to take<br />

down the signs or they could<br />

be fined.<br />

Some Templeton residents<br />

have placed the yellow signs<br />

on their fences in protest of<br />

Fulton Hogan’s plan to create a<br />

quarry nearby.<br />

<strong>The</strong> construction firm says<br />

MESSAGE: <strong>The</strong> city council is investigating the size and<br />

positions of ‘NO QUARRY’ signs in Templeton following<br />

two complaints from members of the public.<br />

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS<br />

the quarry, which will be on a<br />

170ha section of land on Dawsons,<br />

Curraghs and Jones Rds,<br />

will be there for up to 40 years.<br />

City council head of<br />

regulatory compliance Tracey<br />

Weston confirmed that the<br />

city council is investigating the<br />

size and placement of the signs<br />

and whether they breach city<br />

council bylaws.<br />

“A planning assessment is<br />

currently being undertaken<br />

against the District Plan and<br />

Public Places bylaw to determine<br />

what size signage is<br />

permitted in the areas where<br />

the signs are displayed,” she<br />

added.<br />

Mr Kilday couldn’t believe<br />

the city council would act<br />

“so quickly to something so<br />

minimal.”<br />

He said Templeton residents<br />

will be joining forces with<br />

groups in similar situations in<br />

Wellington and Clevedon.<br />

“We thought we’d do a<br />

three-pronged attack . . . we’ll<br />

use the same signage, we’ll<br />

have the same messages,<br />

everything,” Mr Kilday said.<br />

Residents suspected the<br />

complaints had come from<br />

Fulton Hogan or a real estate<br />

agent but Ms Weston said they<br />

came from members of the<br />

public.<br />

A city council spokeswoman<br />

said she couldn’t answer why<br />

the man had peered over Mrs<br />

Van Tongeren’s fence, but said<br />

it could be to see how the sign<br />

was attached to the fence.<br />

Mrs Van Tongeren said<br />

there’s no way she will be<br />

taking down her two signs.<br />

“I’m not taking them down,<br />

they’re on my property … it’s<br />

not doing any harm to anyone,<br />

it is proving it’s a point. It’s a<br />

free world isn’t it?” Mrs Van<br />

Tongeren said.<br />

A Fulton Hogan spokeswoman<br />

confirmed the company<br />

had not laid a complaint<br />

with the city council.<br />

Misbehaving, anxious children result<br />

Kids born after the<br />

2011 earthquake have<br />

inherited trauma<br />

through DNA from their<br />

parents, and schools<br />

are dealing with more<br />

behavioural issues<br />

as a consequence.<br />

Brittany Keogh reports<br />

CANTERBURY children born<br />

after the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake have inherited<br />

trauma from their parents<br />

through their DNA – similar to<br />

what can happen to children of<br />

war veterans, experts say.<br />

That, and the ongoing trauma<br />

experienced by children born<br />

before the quake is contributing<br />

to a spike in young people<br />

seeking mental health treatment<br />

for a range of conditions and<br />

behavioural problems, including<br />

anxiety and concerning sexual<br />

behaviour.<br />

Nearly 3100 new cases of<br />

children and youth under the age<br />

of 18 were referred for mental<br />

health treatment through the<br />

Canterbury District Health<br />

Board last year, new data shows.<br />

That figure was the highest<br />

in more than a decade and had<br />

AFTER EFFECTS: Kids born after the February 22, 2011, earthquake have had trauma passed<br />

down to them through their parents DNA.<br />

PHOTO: BRETT PHIBBS<br />

been steadily climbing since 2011<br />

when it was 1510.<br />

Harith Swadi, clinical director<br />

of child, adolescent and family<br />

specialist mental health services<br />

at the CDHB, said medical practitioners<br />

were still dealing with<br />

the effects of trauma more than<br />

seven years after the devastating<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

As well as being triggered by<br />

direct experience of a major<br />

traumatic event, chronic stress<br />

could be passed on to the future<br />

children of adults who lived<br />

through traumatic events by<br />

changes to DNA known as epigenetics.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> earthquake’s effects are<br />

likely to stay with us for the<br />

foreseeable future; possibly for<br />

generations, just as those effects<br />

experienced post-war,” said Dr<br />

Swadi.<br />

Several studies in the United<br />

States and Australia have shown<br />

some children of Vietnam War<br />

veterans have inherited posttraumatic<br />

stress disorder from<br />

their parents.<br />

That is because of epigenetics,<br />

which is essentially how people’s<br />

lifestyles and experiences change<br />

how their genes are expressed,<br />

turning off some genes and turning<br />

on others.<br />

Dr Swadi said older children<br />

who lived through the 2010,<br />

2011 and 2016 earthquakes<br />

that ravaged the Canterbury<br />

region were also suffering<br />

from ongoing, but manageable<br />

earthquake-related fears and<br />

trauma caused by environmental<br />

and lifestyle changes.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> earthquakes have<br />

changed many aspects of daily<br />

life in the form of parents’ distress,<br />

lack of certainty and EQC<br />

and insurance issues. <strong>The</strong> fabric<br />

of society here in Canterbury has<br />

changed and it is more stressful<br />

for many people,” Dr Swadi said.<br />

“Children, as a result, suffer.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have new worries and have<br />

fewer supports from the adults<br />

around them. <strong>The</strong>y become more<br />

insecure and more anxious.”<br />

Anxiety often affected children’s<br />

behaviour and led to<br />

emotional difficulties and school<br />

and relationship problems.<br />

Stop, a Christchurch-based<br />

organisation that helps people<br />

struggling with concerning<br />

sexual behaviour or who have<br />

sexually abused others, has seen<br />

a sharp increase in referrals to its<br />

programme for primary and intermediate<br />

school-aged children.<br />

In 2007, nine children were<br />

treated through the programme.<br />

Last year, 58 kids under 12<br />

sought help from Stop.<br />

Demand for Stop’s adolescent<br />

and adult services, however, was<br />

static.<br />

<strong>The</strong> organisation’s services are<br />

available to people in Nelson,<br />

Dunedin, Christchurch and<br />

Invercargill but most clients are<br />

from Canterbury.<br />

Suzanne Alliston, team leader<br />

of Stop’s children’s services, said<br />

while exposure to easily accessible<br />

online pornography had<br />

contributed to the rising number<br />

of kids needing treatment, the<br />

earthquakes had also had a significant<br />

impact.<br />

“Sexualised behaviour in children<br />

can be seen as one way of<br />

coping with hard feelings. It’s not<br />

related to sex as much as it’s related<br />

to an unhealthy expression<br />

or way of not coping,” she said.<br />

“Kids might be acting out at<br />

school – kicking, punching,<br />

destroying property – or they<br />

TROUBLED: School principals have noticed “increased<br />

prevalence of anxiety and behavioural issues in children since<br />

the quakes.”<br />

might be engaging in sexualised<br />

behaviour and often the reason<br />

for those things are very similar<br />

and anxiety is a part of that.”<br />

James Morris, chairman of the<br />

Secondary Principals’ Council<br />

and principal at Darfield High<br />

School, said Canterbury school<br />

principals had noticed an<br />

increased prevalence of anxiety<br />

and behavioural issues in children<br />

since the quakes.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> stress or anxiety plays out<br />

in different ways in different students.<br />

It’s not necessarily that a<br />

student is cowering in the corner<br />

or anything like that. Sometimes<br />

that anxiety plays out in the way<br />

that they behave or engage with<br />

their work.”<br />

Young people who were in<br />

pre-school or just starting<br />

school during the 2010 and<br />

2011 earthquakes were now in<br />

year 6 to year 9 and, along with<br />

usual challenges that came with<br />

transitioning from primary to<br />

secondary school, they had to<br />

deal with earthquake-related<br />

post-traumatic stress.<br />

A 2016 university study of<br />

young children in Canterbury<br />

concluded that children who<br />

started school after the earthquakes<br />

had significantly more<br />

behavioural problems and PTSD<br />

symptoms than children born<br />

pre-quake had at the same age.<br />

Prime Minister Jacinda<br />

Ardern announced in February<br />

the Government would roll out<br />

a $28 million mental health programme<br />

for Canterbury’s school<br />

children during the next three<br />

years. <strong>The</strong> funding would be put<br />

towards ensuring every child had<br />

access to a mental health worker.<br />

Mr Morris said schools in<br />

the area were working with<br />

the CDHB and Ministry of<br />

Education to develop strategies<br />

to support communities and<br />

ensure the education and health<br />

sectors and families were using a<br />

consistent approach to deal with<br />

mental health issues in children<br />

and young people.<br />

GUN DEALER David Tipple left<br />

for the Gold Coast yesterday to<br />

watch his daughter compete in<br />

the Commonwealth Games.<br />

Mr Tipple’s trip to support<br />

skeet shooter Chloe Tipple was<br />

in limbo as a visa had not been<br />

confirmed hours before he was<br />

due to fly.<br />

“If it comes through today, I’ll<br />

go to the airport,” the Gun City<br />

Canterbury had the highest<br />

amount of cigarettes littered (87<br />

per cent of all litter) compared to<br />

Auckland (72 per cent) and Wellington<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Denton Park feedback<br />

more than Cathedral<br />

HORNBY’S DENTON Park has<br />

received more public feedback<br />

than Christ Church Cathedral.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has received<br />

more than 1450 submissions on<br />

the reclassification of the park,<br />

with 530 hard copy submissions<br />

handed in on the last day.<br />

This surpasses the 1063 submissions<br />

the city council received<br />

on the reinstatement of Christ<br />

Church Cathedral.<br />

In August, city councillors<br />

voted between Warren, Denton<br />

and Kyle parks for the location<br />

of Hornby’s $35.7 million mega<br />

centre. Denton Park was then<br />

chosen.<br />

In order to build on 9766 sq m<br />

of Denton Park, the reserve classification<br />

has to change.<br />

<strong>The</strong> facility’s proposed location<br />

has been highly controversial<br />

with sports clubs fearful of losing<br />

their home ground to the<br />

new Hornby library, customer<br />

services and leisure centre.<br />

Save Denton Park group<br />

treasurer Ross Houliston said he<br />

wasn’t surprised by the number<br />

of submissions but he thought<br />

there may have been more.<br />

He said the submissions has<br />

made the group “stronger.”<br />

Mr Houliston said he will<br />

be “very, very blistering” in his<br />

upcoming talk to the hearings<br />

panel.<br />

A city council spokeswoman<br />

said she doesn’t have information<br />

on the number in favour and<br />

against the reclassification yet.<br />

Visit to grave of brother he never knew<br />

Dutch teacher<br />

connects family<br />

with aviator<br />

killed in WW2<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

KEVIN PIKE never met his<br />

eldest brother Trevor.<br />

Trevor was an wireless<br />

operator and gunner on a<br />

Stirling bomber shot down over<br />

Holland during World War 2, a<br />

year before Kevin was born.<br />

All seven on-board the plane,<br />

which was returning from a<br />

bombing run over Germany,<br />

were killed in the crash.<br />

This month, the 74-year-old<br />

will place poppies at Trevor<br />

Pike’s grave and the site where he<br />

died in Holland.<br />

On Tuesday, Kevin Pike will<br />

travel to Amsterdam with his<br />

son Steven, daughter-in-law Jane,<br />

and grandson Thomas.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n they will make their way<br />

to Ingen, where his brother’s<br />

Stirling bomber was shot out of<br />

the sky on October 15, 1942.<br />

<strong>The</strong> aircraft circled before<br />

crashing into a paddock near the<br />

farming village, killing all seven<br />

crew.<br />

Trevor Pike, a Royal New<br />

Zealand Air Force wireless<br />

operator and air gunner, was in<br />

a Royal Air Force aircraft with<br />

allied soldiers.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y had been on a mission to<br />

bomb Cologne when German<br />

night-gunner Bruno Eickmeier<br />

shot the aircraft down. He<br />

was later killed in action,<br />

after shooting down 10 allied<br />

bombers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> youngest of 11 children,<br />

Kevin Pike was born the year<br />

after his 22-year-old brother<br />

died.<br />

But he grew up surrounded by<br />

his memory.<br />

“Trevor was a quiet man.<br />

Mum said he was a good boy. He<br />

loved climbing, he climbed with<br />

Harry Ayers who was a friend of<br />

Sir Edmund Hillary. He used to<br />

work in Franz Josef. He was just<br />

a normal boy.”<br />

He had enlisted in the Royal<br />

New Zealand Air Force in<br />

<strong>April</strong> 13, 1941, before leaving to<br />

Canada in May to continue his<br />

air training.<br />

Kevin Pike will go to the farm<br />

to visit the crash site, which has<br />

a plaque commemorating the<br />

three New Zealanders, three<br />

British and Canadian men who<br />

died.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y would place poppies<br />

there.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n they would go to<br />

Amersfoort Cemetery where<br />

the crew were buried. Kevin<br />

Pike said they would place<br />

poppies on Trevor’s grave,<br />

along with a photo of their late<br />

parents.<br />

He said the visit would be<br />

“very emotional.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> trip has been eight years in<br />

the making.<br />

Kevin Pike said in 2010<br />

he came across a notice in a<br />

newspaper titled ‘Seeking Pike<br />

family.’<br />

It was a letter from Richard<br />

van de Velde, a Dutch history<br />

teacher who was researching all<br />

the war victims killed near his<br />

home in Buesichem.<br />

Kevin Pike said after eight<br />

years, he was finally going to<br />

meet Mr van de Velde, who<br />

would take them to the crash site<br />

and the cemetery.<br />

After the visit they would<br />

head to the French town of Le<br />

Quesnoy to attend Anzac Day<br />

commemorations.<br />

New Zealand soldiers captured<br />

Le Quesnoy from the Germans<br />

at the end of World War 1, so<br />

Kevin Pike said it would be nice<br />

to visit and remember the role<br />

they played.<br />

He said it would be the first<br />

time he had visited the United<br />

Kingdom and Europe. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

would return next month.<br />

“I just want these boys to be<br />

remembered.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Sumner crime cameras still on hold<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

Sally Buck<br />

THE installation of Sumner’s<br />

CCTV crime cameras appears to<br />

have stalled.<br />

A Givealittle page was set up to<br />

raise funds for two surveillance<br />

cameras following several aggravated<br />

burglaries in the Sumner<br />

area last year.<br />

Set up by a<br />

group of concerned<br />

residents<br />

called Safer<br />

Sumner, the page<br />

raised $40<strong>05</strong><br />

towards the cameras<br />

which were<br />

purchased at cost<br />

price from security firm October<br />

Protection in January.<br />

<strong>The</strong> group wanted to install<br />

them on a lamp post opposite the<br />

Sumner Surf Life Saving Club on<br />

Main Rd and contacted the city<br />

council for permission.<br />

Since then, the project seems<br />

to have hit a wall.<br />

City council transport<br />

operations manager Ryan<br />

Cooney said in late January the<br />

group had been referred to the<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board “in order<br />

that appropriate processes are<br />

followed i.e. compliance with the<br />

Privacy Act.”<br />

But board chairman Sally Buck<br />

said last week no-one from<br />

Safer Sumner had been in<br />

touch in the two months since<br />

then.<br />

instrumental in<br />

getting CCTV<br />

cameras in<br />

Sumner after she<br />

was confronted<br />

by an intruder<br />

with a knife in her<br />

home last year.<br />

She helped form<br />

a group called<br />

Safer Sumner<br />

which raised<br />

$4004 for two<br />

cameras. It wants<br />

to install them<br />

opposite the<br />

Sumner Surf Life<br />

Saving Club.<br />

Group spokeswoman Kath<br />

Preston said she was unsure<br />

about who to contact but has<br />

since spoken to the Sumner<br />

Community Residents’ Association<br />

about the matter.<br />

SCRA manager Liza Sparrow<br />

confirmed they had been in<br />

touch with city council staff and<br />

were waiting for a date and time<br />

to present the plans for the cameras<br />

to the community board.<br />

<strong>The</strong> October 24 knifepoint<br />

invasion of hairdresser Emely<br />

van Ras’ Scarborough home<br />

prompted the formation of the<br />

group, which intended to “put<br />

together a strategy and purchase<br />

and install surveillance equipment”<br />

in Sumner village.<br />

Ms Preston said in late December<br />

that residents had been<br />

concerned for a number of years<br />

that property-related crime was<br />

on the rise. However, she said<br />

it was the burglary of Miss van<br />

Ras that sparked the group into<br />

action.<br />

Lyttelton cafe<br />

withdrawn<br />

from market<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

POPULAR Lyttelton eatery<br />

Rushanis is no longer for sale.<br />

<strong>The</strong> London St business was<br />

listed on Trade Me in February<br />

but owner Rushani Bowman<br />

confirmed yesterday she was not<br />

selling.<br />

She did not want to comment<br />

further on her plans for the business,<br />

but said: “Watch<br />

this space. <strong>The</strong>re are a few<br />

things happening in the background.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> container cafe which<br />

sold coffee, lunch and takeout<br />

dinners was closed in January<br />

by owners Jonny and Rushani<br />

Bowman after Jonny suffered a<br />

seizure at work.<br />

She couldn’t work full-time at<br />

the business and look after now<br />

14-month-old Rishi.<br />

Mrs Bowman set up a<br />

Givealittle page while the couple<br />

considered their future.<br />

It raised $7090 from 68<br />

donors, helping the Bowmans<br />

to pay their immediate weekly<br />

personal bills while they<br />

were unable to operate the business.<br />

“It was humbling that people<br />

cared,” Mrs Bowman said.<br />

Now<br />

WITH JUST two more months<br />

of autumn to go, winter is<br />

coming. And with it, cold<br />

weather and higher power bills.<br />

I know for a lot of people,<br />

especially older people on fixed<br />

incomes, this can be a worrying<br />

time.<br />

And there are people for<br />

whom rising winter power bills<br />

have simply become too much<br />

to meet. About 1600 Kiwis die<br />

each year due to cold housing<br />

in winter and thousands more<br />

end up in hospital. Older New<br />

Zealanders and those on fixed<br />

incomes tend to be hardest hit.<br />

That’s not right and we can do<br />

better.<br />

And there’s good evidence<br />

that we can do better. <strong>The</strong><br />

International Energy Agency<br />

has said that in New Zealand<br />

residential power prices have<br />

risen by 50 per cent since the<br />

year 2000 and have risen much<br />

faster than in many other<br />

countries we compare ourselves<br />

to.<br />

Kiwis need to know that when<br />

they go to the mail box and get<br />

their power bills every month,<br />

they are getting a fair deal.<br />

Electricity review about ‘getting a fair deal’<br />

That’s why last week the<br />

Government announced the<br />

final terms of reference for our<br />

Electricity Pricing Review.<br />

<strong>The</strong> review will be a thorough<br />

look at the entire electricity<br />

market, from generation through<br />

transmission and distribution<br />

to retail, to establish if prices are<br />

fair, the market is competitive<br />

and if consumers are getting a<br />

good deal.<br />

It will also look at the way that<br />

new technology is changing what<br />

people have to pay for power. For<br />

example, solar panels are a great<br />

way for people to bring down the<br />

cost of the power they pay for,<br />

but they mean people don’t have<br />

to be connected to the electricity<br />

grid, pushing up the price for<br />

everyone else.<br />

Our review will make sure we<br />

have the regulations and systems<br />

in place to make sure we can get<br />

the most out of new technology<br />

without it having unintended<br />

consequences.<br />

While this review happens,<br />

though, our Government is also<br />

doing more to help people with<br />

the cost of their power bills –<br />

this year we are introducing a<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Winter Energy Payment. This<br />

will be available for every New<br />

Zealander over 65 who receives<br />

superannuation or veteran’s<br />

pension, as well as people<br />

receiving a main benefit, to heat<br />

their homes during the coldest<br />

months.<br />

<strong>The</strong> annual rates of payment<br />

will be $450 for single people<br />

with no dependent children, and<br />

$700 for couples or single people<br />

with dependent children.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se actions we are taking<br />

mean more people will be able<br />

to afford to heat their homes and<br />

stay warm this winter.<br />

consider trying to park in the<br />

New Government MPs<br />

are working to resolve<br />

Debbie Hamel – It is<br />

absolutely disgusting that there<br />

is nowhere to park. As if we don’t<br />

have enough worries when we<br />

go to hospital. Christchurch city<br />

needs to suck it up and release<br />

some of Hagley Park, it’s just<br />

stupid.<br />

Colleen Hamilton – I have<br />

to take my husband once or<br />

twice every week for nearly two<br />

years. He’s too ill now to use the<br />

shuttle. <strong>The</strong> added stress of trying<br />

to find a park is beyond anything.<br />

. . . the ill and elderly don’t appear<br />

to be of any importance.<br />

Mark Peters – This is third<br />

world, time for a solution. I like<br />

the proposal to use the underutilised<br />

Lichfield St city council<br />

car park with a shuttle service<br />

to the hospital. Added benefit<br />

of encouraging people back<br />

towards the CBD.<br />

Gilda Campbell – Even at<br />

1am there is nowhere to park,<br />

my daughters appendix had<br />

burst and we had to walk in the<br />

dark from ages away.<br />

Nichola Tyson – Just wait<br />

until/if they build the metro<br />

Karen Whila – Imagining<br />

my dad at 94 standing there in<br />

those appalling conditions. One<br />

whiff of a southerly could kill<br />

him.<br />

Dinah Jane Geda – Parking<br />

for nurses, other shift workers,<br />

patients and visitors needs to be<br />

a priority in this city. <strong>The</strong> present<br />

situation is disgraceful and an<br />

embarrassment. It needs to be<br />

addressed urgently. Nurses are<br />

already overworked from their<br />

understaffing issues and have<br />

been ‘working’ for years just to<br />

find a park to get to their employment<br />

location, unacceptable<br />

and very stressful.<br />

Maggie Mariner – Any<br />

Year off to<br />

a busy start<br />

Kia ora koutou, talofa lava,<br />

warm greetings to you all.<br />

<strong>The</strong> year has begun well with much student activity in the first few<br />

weeks with our pōwhiri, swimming and athletic sports, Polyfest,<br />

summer sport and the Canterbury Athletic champs.<br />

Our students and staff are busy with teaching and learning both in the<br />

classroom and outside the classroom.<br />

Our Board of Trustees has written a new<br />

draft strategic plan setting a new direction<br />

for the school. This is creating a positive<br />

energy as we move forward with plans for<br />

the new Middle School building.<br />

Our Education Brief stated clearly that we<br />

wanted our new building to be flexible,<br />

allowing for a vast range of learning<br />

activities. Our architects have ensured that<br />

our learning spaces are dynamic – they can<br />

be contracted to be single cell classrooms or<br />

opened up to a large central internal “street”<br />

allowing for multiple uses.<br />

We are also fortunate in that we will<br />

experience very little disruption (some<br />

building noise only) as construction begins. Our older classrooms will<br />

not be demolished until the new 22 classroom block is completed. It<br />

sits facing Tankerville Road on our current tennis courts.<br />

As well as this large building, we are also planning for a new<br />

gymnasium which will be Board funded, applying for grants to add to<br />

what the Board will make available. A group of staff is working hard to<br />

ensure this also becomes a reality although the timeframe is uncertain<br />

at this stage.<br />

New buildings do not in themselves lead to improved educational<br />

outcomes for our students, but our staff is excited about the many<br />

possibilities the new facilities will allow for in terms of exciting and<br />

engaging learning for us all.<br />

Now<br />

Events ‘create real value for the city’<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

EASTER WEEKEND reminded<br />

us what happens when we don’t<br />

host a major concert like Ed<br />

Sheeran – for a start we lose<br />

many of our own people to other<br />

centres and second we miss<br />

that vibe that comes with the<br />

excitement of the concert and<br />

the economic benefits it brings.<br />

But it’s not only concerts that<br />

bring financial benefits to a city.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many events that can<br />

create real value for the city.<br />

I’m afraid I overstated the<br />

economic benefits of the Golden<br />

Oldies Sports Celebration <strong>2018</strong><br />

in last week’s column. That’s<br />

the trouble when you rely on<br />

“Mr Google” working to a tight<br />

deadline in a short week.<br />

But that being said, there<br />

are still significant benefits<br />

in bringing more than 5000<br />

people from 16 countries to<br />

Christchurch over a four-week<br />

period to play six different<br />

sports. <strong>The</strong> more fun they have,<br />

the more likely it is that they and<br />

their friends will return.<br />

And there is a little snippet<br />

that I didn’t realise until I was<br />

talking to one of the organisers<br />

and one of the ambassadors, Sir<br />

Bob Charles, and that is that<br />

at 4pm next Friday the 13th, at<br />

the end of the golfing week, the<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

ECONOMIC BOOST: Lianne Dalziel is touting the benefits of<br />

big events like the Christchurch Casino Golden Oldies Sports<br />

Celebration <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

20 top players of the week will<br />

tee off for a shot at the holein-one<br />

of more than 150m for<br />

$1 million. Now I haven’t got<br />

that number wrong. And I’m<br />

definitely going to watch – how<br />

exciting – imagine if someone<br />

actually does it?<br />

But back to the economic<br />

benefits of events, this is<br />

something we are asking for<br />

feedback on in our Long Term<br />

Plan. We have developed a Major<br />

Events Strategy, but to gain the<br />

benefits they can bring, we need<br />

to invest in attracting the events<br />

and in the facilities to host them.<br />

Locals have always loved the<br />

opportunity to get out and enjoy<br />

great events – they don’t call<br />

Canterbury the sporting capital<br />

of New Zealand for nothing.<br />

And we’re not just spectators<br />

either; we’re participants; we love<br />

to get involved. So great events<br />

not only attract visitors, who will<br />

always want to see more of the<br />

region, they are great for those of<br />

us who live here.<br />

So how should we make this<br />

sort of commitment? I know<br />

there has been commentary<br />

on the need to have a decision<br />

on the stadium. We need to<br />

ask some searching questions<br />

about what we can afford as a<br />

region, and how we can future<br />

proof what we build for a range<br />

of purposes, not just sport. We<br />

are not proposing changes in<br />

this LTP, but I’m sure we will<br />

need to consult on it sooner<br />

rather than later. One of the<br />

questions we are asking in this<br />

year’s LTP, however, is “what<br />

do you think of the council<br />

providing additional funding to<br />

ChristchurchNZ so that it can<br />

bid for major events on behalf<br />

of the city, support new events<br />

through sponsorship and test the<br />

feasibility?” I would encourage<br />

you to give this some thought.<br />

You have until 5pm, Friday,<br />

<strong>April</strong> 13 to submit on the draft<br />

Long Term Plan. See details on<br />

the have your say page on the<br />

city council website – https://<br />

service centres.<br />

Dalziel a question, email<br />

Another step towards<br />

becoming smoke-free<br />

WE WANT more Kiwis to quit<br />

smoking because 4500-5000 New<br />

Zealanders still die prematurely<br />

each year from smoking-related<br />

illnesses.<br />

Smoking rates and tobacco<br />

consumption have declined in<br />

recent decades down to about 15<br />

per cent of the general population,<br />

and less young people are<br />

taking smoking up. But there is<br />

a group of long-term smokers,<br />

particularly Maori and Pasifika,<br />

who find it extremely difficult<br />

to quit. So I believe we must be<br />

open to alternatives that help to<br />

wean smokers off cigarettes, and<br />

have fewer health risks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Members’ Bill I lodged this<br />

week, the Smoke-free Environments<br />

(Regulation of Electronic<br />

Cigarettes) Amendment Bill, is<br />

based on the work I did as the<br />

associate minister of health. It is<br />

designed to improve laws around<br />

the accessibility of e-cigarettes<br />

to provide less harmful alternatives<br />

for long-term smokers and<br />

to help them kick the habit. It<br />

will allow electronic cigarettes<br />

containing nicotine to be sold to<br />

persons over 18 years of age.<br />

Currently, the sale and supply<br />

of nicotine e-cigarettes and<br />

e-liquid as consumer products<br />

is illegal. However, for smokers,<br />

e-cigarettes are significantly less<br />

harmful than tobacco (estimated<br />

95 per cent less harmful) and the<br />

Ministry of Health itself has said<br />

that e-cigarettes have the potential<br />

to contribute to New Zealand’s<br />

smoke-free 2025 goal.<br />

E-cigarettes offer a better<br />

alternative to ordinary cigarettes<br />

for long-term, more ingrained<br />

smokers and they pose no identified<br />

health risks to bystanders.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have been available overseas<br />

and in the United Kingdom<br />

for more than 10 years and there<br />

is no evidence that they provide<br />

a gateway for smokers to cigarettes<br />

or that non-smokers take<br />

up e-cigarettes.<br />

This Bill prohibits the sale<br />

and supply in public places of<br />

e-cigarettes to people under the<br />

Nicky Wagner<br />

VAPING: Nicky<br />

Wagner’s new<br />

Bill aims to<br />

improve laws<br />

around the<br />

accessibility of<br />

e-cigarettes.<br />

age of 18, limits advertising and<br />

promotion, and prohibits vaping<br />

in legislated smoke-free areas<br />

to preserve our strong cultural<br />

norms around the undesirability<br />

of smoking.<br />

We still have some way to go to<br />

become a smoke-free nation and<br />

while vaping and electronic cigarettes<br />

are not a cure-all, they do<br />

offer the alternative of a healthier<br />

lifestyle for smokers by bridging<br />

the gap between a long-term<br />

habit and quitting altogether.<br />

And that’s got to be a good thing.<br />

Central<br />

Freedom campers<br />

are upsetting residents<br />

by parking outside the<br />

Waimairi Cemetery<br />

Cherry Cornelius – Once<br />

again they are not freedom<br />

campers. <strong>The</strong>y do not have<br />

facilities in their cars, such<br />

as toilet, shower or enough<br />

water for their needs. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

will be there so they can use<br />

the running water which is in<br />

every cemetery<br />

for washing.<br />

I’m willing to<br />

bet most will be<br />

urinating behind<br />

the fence. We<br />

freedom camp,<br />

the difference is<br />

we have complete<br />

self containment.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are freeloaders<br />

and litterers. Please<br />

don’t ever put us in the same<br />

category as these people that are<br />

free-loading their way around<br />

our country. We have paid huge<br />

amounts of money to be self<br />

contained and respect and love<br />

COMPLAINTS:<br />

Freedom<br />

campers<br />

outside Waimairi<br />

Cemetery are<br />

drawing criticism<br />

from residents.<br />

defecating everywhere then I<br />

can’t see the problem. Sorry,<br />

but some people need to get<br />

over themselves. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

families out there who have real<br />

struggles of their own everyday.<br />

Helen Leggatt – To those<br />

who say they’re doing no harm,<br />

I suspect you’d think very<br />

differently if they were parking<br />

outside your driveway, leaving<br />

stained toilet paper, remnants<br />

of cooking/food and rubbish at<br />

your fence line. It’s<br />

not the location, per<br />

se (although I think<br />

using cemeteries<br />

is somewhat<br />

disrespectful, not<br />

to those in it but<br />

those who visit<br />

loved ones) but what<br />

they leave behind.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rubbish down<br />

the Waimakariri Gorge<br />

from freedom campers can<br />

sometimes be gross.<br />

Kerry Beardsley – <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

using the cemetery and church<br />

steps to cook food etc and some<br />

can be quite intimidating while<br />

walking past. It also seems to<br />

be a meeting point where they<br />

have larger gatherings.

Hockey great becomes a Canterbury<br />

Hockey icon Pat Barwick<br />

was inducted into the<br />

Sporting Legends<br />

of Canterbury at the<br />

Canterbury Sports<br />

Awards on March 9.<br />

She talks to reporter<br />

Sarla Donovan about<br />

missing out on Moscow,<br />

developments in<br />

women’s sport, and<br />

impending retirement<br />

It must have been a proud<br />

moment to be named a<br />

Sporting Legend?<br />

Yes, it was humbling and a<br />

lovely surprise. And fabulous<br />

that they had some of my family<br />

down. I didn’t know anything<br />

about it until I walked into<br />

the room on Friday night and<br />

saw my family. <strong>The</strong>n I knew<br />

something was happening. My<br />

older sister and her hubby came<br />

down from Auckland and my<br />

younger sister from the family<br />

farm in the north of Wanganui.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y stayed for the weekend<br />

so we had a nice long<br />

celebration.<br />

When did you first pick up a<br />

hockey stick?<br />

Not until I was just turning<br />

14. I was in a country school<br />

where we only played rugby<br />

and netball. We had to do both<br />

because we didn’t have enough<br />

boys so we played everything.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were only 32 at the school<br />

when I was there, that was at<br />

Brunswick School in Wanganui.<br />

So I didn’t really even know<br />

what hockey was. I got involved<br />

with it at high school and it<br />

wasn’t until my second year at<br />

Whanganui Girls’ College that I<br />

was allowed to give up netball.<br />

I could have stopped half-way<br />

through the year but my mum<br />

– quite rightly so – made me<br />

support my team until I finished<br />

the season. <strong>The</strong> next year I was<br />

allowed to play hockey and I<br />

loved it and within a couple of<br />

years I was doing reasonably<br />

well and continued on.<br />

What are some of the<br />

CAUSAL GARDENER: Pat Barwick, Sporting Legend of Canterbury, enjoys being in the garden.<br />

proudest moments in your<br />

career?<br />

Playing-wise getting into the<br />

national side and captaining it<br />

for most of my playing career.<br />

I remember the match where<br />

we beat England at Wembley<br />

Stadium in 1977 in front of<br />

63,000 people. That was a bit of<br />

a mindblower. Being selected<br />

for the 1980 Moscow Olympics<br />

– though, unfortunately, we<br />

didn’t go in the end. From a<br />

coaching perspective, I had a<br />

pretty successful time taking the<br />

Canterbury women to a number<br />

of titles and then going on to<br />

coach the national team. That<br />

was a real honour and I really<br />

enjoyed the opportunity that I<br />

was given.<br />

What was it like finding<br />

out you wouldn’t be going to<br />

Moscow?<br />

Well it was three weeks before<br />

we were due to leave so it was<br />

pretty gut-wrenching. We had<br />

all the uniforms, all the plans,<br />

everything was ready to go<br />

and then suddenly we weren’t<br />

going anywhere. It was a pretty<br />

sad time for most athletes and<br />

people were pretty upset. I<br />

didn’t remain bitter about it in<br />

later years though some did. I<br />

had the chance to go back as<br />

a coach in Barcelona in 1992<br />

so at least I got to an Olympic<br />

Games but it is different going<br />

as a support person rather than<br />

an athlete – you’re never quite<br />

an Olympian unless you’re an<br />

athlete there.<br />

Hockey looks like quite a<br />

fierce game – what qualities do<br />

you need?<br />

In the past it was a game that<br />

could be played by anyone, any<br />

height, any mobility. But nowadays<br />

on the turf it’s become very<br />

quick so speed is an important<br />

factor. But it’s not the only<br />

thing; you have to have a desire<br />

to learn the skills pretty thoroughly<br />

to be successful because<br />

it is quite a technical game. It’s<br />

demanding when you’re learning<br />

but once you get into it I think<br />

it is a great game in that anyone<br />

can score a goal, anyone can be<br />

part of the whole game – there’s<br />

not too much quiet time so<br />

you’re always involved and that<br />

What do you get up to when<br />

you’re not playing/coaching<br />

sport?<br />

I like to be active so I ride my<br />

bike, I play some golf and I’ve<br />

always played a bit of croquet.<br />

I enjoy the garden, I have a big<br />

‘casual garden’ as I call it so<br />

there’s always plenty to do there.<br />

Other than that I’ve always<br />

enjoyed supporting Forest and<br />

Bird and am looking to help<br />

somewhere on a project with<br />

them, now that I have a bit of<br />

time.<br />

Sporting-wise, Canterbury<br />

seems to bat above its weight.<br />

What do you put that down to?<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s still a lot of awareness<br />

and interest in sport here –<br />

the red and black culture is<br />

still strong. We’re not a huge,<br />

million-plus city so we still have<br />

a community feel and I think<br />

when you have that there’s a lot<br />

more cross-code interaction and<br />

support for each others’ sport as<br />

well as the people involved.<br />

I think that sheer interest in<br />

each other is still very strong<br />

here.<br />

News<br />

Now<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

sporting legend<br />

I hear the Black Ferns are<br />

getting professional contracts.<br />

Do you feel we’re at a bit of<br />

a turning point in women’s<br />

sport?<br />

Definitely, we always knew it<br />

was about to happen. Women<br />

are the area of sport that are<br />

now making a huge leap in their<br />

performances. <strong>The</strong> change in<br />

their ability to play more fulltime,<br />

to show that they can<br />

advance their own sport a lot<br />

further than previously. Giving<br />

them (financial) support is<br />

important as it enables them to<br />

play at a higher level for longer.<br />

In doing that it means you<br />

get really good performances<br />

because they’re becoming more<br />

experienced, they’re becoming<br />

more capable, they’re fitter,<br />

faster, and can develop those<br />

characteristics that you need.<br />

You’re seeing a really great move<br />

right now in the development<br />

of the whole women’s sports<br />

field right across the spectrum<br />

and we’ll continue to do that for<br />

another eight or 10 years until<br />

we get to the top of it.<br />

So how much longer before<br />

there’s an equal playing field?<br />

Equal playing field only ever<br />

means money and in the end<br />

it’s about money through the<br />

gate. Until women are able to<br />

attract the same crowds to their<br />

games as the men it’s difficult<br />

to look at the balance of funds<br />

and I understand that. But it<br />

still means for the next eight<br />

to 10 years women need to be<br />

given support to achieve that.<br />

And unless that happens they<br />

probably won’t ever achieve<br />

it. I think the nature of the<br />

games have become really<br />

well-developed in the sense<br />

that the skill level, the physical<br />

capabilities and the athleticism<br />

of women now is certainly<br />

making it more attractive to a<br />

wider public to watch. So maybe<br />

we’ll increase the gates and<br />

they’ll increase the balance of<br />

pay. That’s how it works. But to<br />

me it’s more about how women<br />

can be successful – that’s the<br />

exciting part. <strong>The</strong> other part, the<br />

professionalism is another whole<br />

LEGEND: Pat Barwick captained the New Zealand hockey<br />

team for nine years from 1971-79. During her tenure, the<br />

team controversially finished third at the 1975 World Cup in<br />

Edinburgh against England as reported in <strong>The</strong> Press. Two years<br />

later, she captained New Zealand to victory over England at<br />

Wembley Stadium before 63,000 spectators.<br />

cog in the wheel.<br />

You captained NZ in your<br />

first ever match, how did that<br />

happen and what was it like?<br />

It was pretty interesting. I had<br />

captained one team – the NZ<br />

Universities side for a couple<br />

of matches against Australia<br />

a few years before. But other<br />

than that I’d never been a club<br />

team captain or a Canterbury<br />

or Hawkes Bay captain. So it<br />

was a bit of a mind-blower. I<br />

think a lot of it was to do with<br />

the fact I was the centre half<br />

and when you play in the centre<br />

of the paddock you’re fairly<br />

well connected with everybody<br />

across the pitch. At the time<br />

there were still players in the<br />

team that had been away on<br />

previous internationals so I<br />

was quite surprised because<br />

they were more experienced<br />

and good people. I think it was<br />

a positional issue but maybe I<br />

showed a bit more leadership<br />

quality then than I realised.<br />

When did you go from<br />

playing to coaching?<br />

I retired from the national<br />

team in 1980 – that was the year<br />

we didn’t go to the Olympics<br />

and I pretty much retired<br />

straight away. I was still playing<br />

for the Canterbury team and<br />

they asked me to be a player<br />

coach which was unusual at that<br />

level but I did it with the help<br />

of a manager-coach. So I got<br />

into that level pretty quickly. I<br />

had about six good years with<br />

Canterbury hockey and then I<br />

was able to put my name in the<br />

hat for the national side.<br />

Do you see us being world<br />

champions any time soon?<br />

We’ve been in the top four<br />

in the last two Olympic Games<br />

and that’s massive. <strong>The</strong>y’re<br />

a top team and they’ve been<br />

performing extremely well over<br />

the last few years. Getting in the<br />

top four in the world in hockey<br />

is up there and to do it twice<br />

in a row that’s been quite an<br />

achievement.<br />

Do you think the funding for<br />

NZ Hockey is adequate?<br />

I think we’re pretty well<br />

supported by high performance<br />

funding and other agencies.<br />

We have a good foundation<br />

that supports the players and<br />

the teams when they have<br />

to centralise in Auckland.<br />

Our people are centralised in<br />

Auckland, and they train as<br />

much as they can – probably<br />

not quite as much as a fully paid<br />

athlete but they’re still getting<br />

a lot of training. I think we’re<br />

doing about as well as we can<br />

expect at the moment. Certainly<br />

funding is pretty generous on<br />

New Zealand terms, we don’t<br />

have all the money in the world,<br />

we’re a small country and can’t<br />

support everything.<br />

I hear you’re retiring from<br />

your coaching adviser role at<br />

Sport Canterbury?<br />

I’m having my farewell this<br />

afternoon actually, I’m finishing<br />

up today. I’ve had twelve and a<br />

half years here so it’s been one<br />

of my longer terms of work<br />

through my life. It’s a really<br />

enjoyable environment; lots<br />

of passionate people doing<br />

things to help other passionate<br />

people. It’s a great environment<br />

of positivity to walk into every<br />

morning so it makes work easy.<br />

I’ll miss the people. I’m a people<br />

person and enjoy watching them<br />

grow and develop and learn. It’s<br />

the teacher in me as well as the<br />

coach. So personally I will miss<br />

those regular contacts but I’ll be<br />

out doing things.<br />

So what’s the plan this<br />

afternoon?<br />

We’re wrapping up the week<br />

with a bit of a party after work<br />

and I’m going to have a bit of<br />

fun for a few hours so that will<br />

be really nice, a nice casual<br />

Natives will grow well in a small plot<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

NOW’S THE time to plant<br />

natives.<br />

Many people think natives can<br />

only be grown when you have lots<br />

of space. But there are lots of low<br />

growing native plants that look<br />

lovely in a smaller garden – like<br />

pūrei (carex), hibiscus and hebe.<br />

Other native plants like kōhūhū<br />

(pittosporum tenuifoliam) and<br />

akeake can make lovely shelter<br />

belts or hedges.<br />

And I’ve even planted a couple<br />

of tī kouka (cabbage tree) and<br />

kānuka plants into pots and<br />

placed them at the entrance of my<br />

house. <strong>The</strong> pots have restricted<br />

the roots of the trees and in a way<br />

created a ‘bonsai’ effect so they<br />

don’t grow very tall. <strong>The</strong>y’re about<br />

1.8m tall at the moment. <strong>The</strong> bees<br />

love the kānuka, which is great for<br />

pollinating my nearby vegetable<br />

garden.<br />

If you’re thinking about planting<br />

natives, or adding to your existing<br />

native garden, I suggest getting<br />

on to it now. We’re officially<br />

into autumn and the weather has<br />

cooled off but isn’t too wet, which<br />

makes it the perfect time to plant<br />

trees and shrubs. And while most<br />

of the natives are very hardy, it’s<br />

good to get them in the ground<br />

and established before the frosts<br />

kick in.<br />

Once you’ve got your plants,<br />

dig a hole and bury each plant to<br />

the top of its root ball. <strong>The</strong>n water<br />

in gently. If you don’t get any rain<br />

after planting, I suggest watering<br />

every two or three days.<br />

It’s also a good idea to keep the<br />

immediate area surrounding the<br />

plants weed free for a while as the<br />

plants won’t be able to outgrow<br />

any weeds at this early stage of<br />

their life.<br />

Natives are a long-term investment<br />

in your garden and depending<br />

on the variety you grow could<br />

take between months and years to<br />

become fully grown. But they’re<br />

well worth the wait.<br />

HIDING PLACE: CarexGreen is<br />

a great ground cover – and a<br />

welcoming place for your cat<br />

to play.<br />

Perfect perpetual spinach<br />

• By Henri Ham<br />

DID YOU know perpetual spinach isn’t<br />

even spinach?<br />

In fact, it’s actually related to silver beet<br />

and is sometimes also called ‘leaf beet’.<br />

Though if I had to describe how it tastes,<br />

I’d say it tastes similar to spinach but with<br />

a slightly milder, more bitter taste.<br />

But the main reasons I think perpetual<br />

spinach is a perfect plant to have in the<br />

vegetable garden, are because it grows<br />

quickly, it doesn’t take up much space,<br />

it’s full of vitamins (like its namesake and<br />

relative) and it’s very easy<br />

care.<br />

If you’re planting<br />

members of the brassica<br />

family this autumn – like<br />

cabbage, cauliflower or<br />

broccoli – your perpetual<br />

spinach seedlings could<br />

be planted around 20cm<br />

apart from each other in the rows in<br />

between.<br />

Because they don’t take up much space<br />

and mature quickly, you’ll have eaten them<br />

before your slow-developing brassicas<br />

need the room.<br />

Regardless of where you plant them, it<br />

pays to mix in some general fertiliser and/<br />

or compost into the soil first to give them<br />

a good kick start and ensure the soil is<br />

well-drained. If you don’t have much space<br />

you can easily grow it in pots – just put in<br />

some fresh potting mix before planting.<br />

In around four to six weeks the leaves<br />

on your perpetual spinach will be large<br />

enough to harvest. I recommend picking<br />

the outer leaves first, leaving the inner<br />

leaves intact so the plant keeps producing.<br />

I like to use the small leaves in salads<br />

and use the larger leaves (with a slightly<br />

more bitter taste) like I would spinach or<br />

silver beet.<br />

EASY CARE: Perpetual spinach grows<br />

quickly and tastes great in salads.<br />

• By Ross Kiddie<br />

MITSUBISHI Motors New<br />

Zealand has initiated a<br />

solid marketing campaign<br />

for its new sport utility<br />

vehicle, the Eclipse Cross.<br />

That doesn’t surprise me,<br />

the newcomer is a smart<br />

piece of kit and it deserves<br />

to command a big slice of<br />

the mid-size SUV market.<br />

However, it must<br />

be remembered that<br />

Mitsubishi here has<br />

another mid-size SUV<br />

contender – the ASX –<br />

and it has been heavily<br />

facelifted for <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

Meaning active smart<br />

crossover, the ASX was<br />

introduced to New Zealand<br />

in 2011 and has also been<br />

a popular seller, its concept<br />

appeals to family buyers at<br />

a value-based entry point<br />

as well, the new series<br />

tempts from just under<br />

$30k.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are four models<br />

in the ASX line-up, two<br />

petrol and two diesel, the<br />

latter in four-wheel-drive.<br />

This evaluation focuses on<br />

the entry-level two-wheeldrive<br />

XLS at $29,990; an<br />

extra $10,600 will get you<br />

into a high-spec VRX,<br />

while the two 2.3-litre diesel<br />

models list at $41,990<br />

and $45,990 respectively.<br />

While I’d far prefer the<br />

diesel, the carryover 2-litre<br />

petrol engine is still a fine<br />

unit, it is the same engine<br />

which has powered Lancer<br />

through the years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 1998cc unit develops<br />

112kW and 200Nm,<br />

and is paired to a six-step<br />

continuously variable automatic<br />

transmission and<br />

drives through to the front<br />

wheels. <strong>The</strong>se power and<br />

torque outputs are traditional,<br />

they arrive tall in<br />

the rev band at 6000rpm<br />

and 4200rpm respectively;<br />

nevertheless, when you<br />

have the benefit of CVT<br />

there is a constant point<br />

of gearing which instantly<br />

meets throttle request.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ASX feels lively and<br />

will cut out a standstill to<br />

100km/h time in 9.9sec, it’s<br />

also quite smart on a highway<br />

overtake, 6sec to make<br />

120km/h from 80km/h is<br />

about the norm for a vehicle<br />

such as this.<br />

I took the test car inland<br />

to Hororata and back<br />

to my home through<br />

Dunsandel and Coes Ford.<br />

It cruises quietly at highway<br />

speed and affords a<br />

smooth ride. Sprung on<br />

a fully independent front<br />

strut/rear multiple link<br />

system, the suspension’s<br />

mechanical elements have<br />

been developed without<br />

compromising the ASX’s<br />

function.<br />

Body movement is<br />

controlled without the<br />

firming needed to arrest<br />

gravitational force. Instead,<br />

the ASX has spring and<br />

damper rates engineered<br />

so that the occupants reap<br />

a comfortable ride without<br />

being presented with a<br />

lurch mid-corner.<br />

• Price – Mitsubishi<br />

ASX XLS, $29,990<br />

• Dimensions –<br />

Length, 4365mm;<br />

width, 1810mm;<br />

height, 1640mm<br />

• Configuration –<br />

Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,<br />

1998cc,<br />

112kW, 200Nm,<br />

continuously variable<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 9.9sec<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />

7.6l/100km<br />

<strong>The</strong> ASX is fitted with<br />

tall 18in wheels, and shod<br />

with quality Bridgestone<br />

Dueler rubber (225/55),<br />

there is strong steering<br />

feel and plenty of grip on<br />

offer.<br />

I pointed the test car at<br />

some tricky corners along<br />

my test route, it turns nicely<br />

and feeds to the steering<br />

wheel positive information<br />

as to how the tyres react<br />

under pressure.<br />

Even without four-wheeldrive<br />

there is still the feel<br />

that grip levels are elevated,<br />

while balance and control<br />

are fully retained. I like the<br />

way the ASX drives, it’s no<br />

MITSUBISHI ASX:<br />

Choice of petrol or<br />

diesel engines.<br />

sports car but it does have<br />

performance and handling<br />

ability which is far in<br />

excess of its purpose.<br />

Although the XLS misses<br />

out on leather trim and<br />

a few other niceties, it<br />

still gets a healthy level of<br />

specification, and fabric<br />

trim is by far my preference.<br />

Mitsubishi has upped<br />

the specification level in<br />

the ASX; although most of<br />

those additions are hidden,<br />

they are electronic inclusions<br />

for safety and infotainment.<br />

In terms of fuel use,<br />

Mitsubishi has done well<br />

to lean out the engine. As<br />

I remarked previously, it<br />

has been around for some<br />

time, but it is a fuel miser<br />

and carries a 7.6-litre per<br />

100km (37mpg) combined<br />

cycle claim.<br />

This is much the same<br />

figure as the previous<br />

generation model and<br />

although I didn’t replicate<br />

it, I did get close. <strong>The</strong><br />

fuel usage readout was<br />

constantly listing around<br />

8.1l/100km (35mpg)<br />

during my time with the<br />

test car, and I can report<br />

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

instantaneous figure sitting<br />

at a steady 100km/h. At<br />

that speed the engine is<br />

working over at a lazy<br />

1700rpm in the tallest part<br />

of the gearing.<br />

Mitsubishi Motors<br />

New Zealand is the<br />

only new car company<br />

operating here which<br />

offers a 10-year/160,000km<br />

powertrain warranty across<br />

its entire range.<br />

To me that says a lot<br />

about the quality of the<br />

product, and if you look<br />

at how long the Lancer,<br />

Outlander and ASX have<br />

been available in our market,<br />

that suggests they have<br />

not only been well received<br />

but have been built to last<br />

the distance.<br />

WEST COAST<br />

Shantytown Heritage Park<br />

FRISKY: A bottlenose dolphin escorts a cruise boat in the Marlborough Sounds.<br />

Right – <strong>The</strong> hand carved pou whenua at Ship Cove.<br />

Plenty to do in Picton<br />

• By Mike Yardley<br />

CHARMING: Furneaux Lodge offers a laid-back<br />

hospitality experience.<br />

THEY WERE frisky,<br />

playful and shameless<br />

attention-seekers. Your<br />

typical teenagers.<br />

A large pod of juvenile<br />

bottlenose dolphins<br />

turned on quite the show,<br />

as we purred through the<br />

Marlborough Sounds on a<br />

Beachcomber cruise boat.<br />

<strong>The</strong> frolicking dolphins<br />

basked in the boat’s wake,<br />

before unleashing their<br />

acrobatic impulses, leaping<br />

out of the water and flying<br />

through the air like trained<br />

circus-performers.<br />

Picton had dawned bright<br />

and brilliant. <strong>The</strong> glossy<br />

deep blue water surrounding<br />

Picton Marina, gleamed<br />

photo-shoot perfect. In a<br />

town that I have previously<br />

accused of resting on its<br />

laurels, Picton seems to<br />

have really hits its straps as<br />

a premium destination.<br />

<strong>The</strong> place was buzzing. I<br />

was joining a day trip into<br />

Queen Charlotte Sound<br />

with one of the region’s<br />

oldest tourist operators,<br />

Beachcomber Cruises, who<br />

offer myriad tours including<br />

their iconic rural post<br />

delivery service, <strong>The</strong> Magic<br />

Mail Run.<br />

Keen to combine cruising<br />

with a spot of walking,<br />

my magical day out would<br />

whisk me to Ship Cove,<br />

before re-boarding the vessel<br />

for the home-run from<br />

Furneaux Lodge. Departing<br />

from Picton, my ebullient<br />

skipper, Steve, peppered the<br />

cruise commentary with a<br />

feast of fascinating insights.<br />

Brimming with predatorfree<br />

islands and marine<br />

reserves, ogling precious<br />

wildlife is an undisputed<br />

magnet, luring the world to<br />

their crystal-clear waters.<br />

Steve remarked that alongside<br />

the hector’s, dusky and<br />

bottlenose dolphins, whales<br />

are a constant sight in the<br />

Sounds. As are seals, stingrays<br />

and orcas.<br />

We rendezvoused with<br />

some salmon farms, heavily<br />

fortified in perimeter<br />

fencing to stop the fur seals<br />

doing a drive-by feed. <strong>The</strong><br />

sheer size of the Sounds is<br />

astonishing, comprising<br />

20 per cent of New Zealand’s<br />

coastline, brimming<br />

with countless coves and<br />

secluded sandy bays. Thick<br />

native bush surrounds these<br />

ancient sunken valleys,<br />

where the calm, translucent<br />

water spans azure blue,<br />

vivid turquoise and shimmering<br />

emerald hues.<br />

Disembarking from our<br />

boat, I dabbled in the creek<br />

where Cook made home<br />

brew for his crew before<br />

surveying the magnificent<br />

Captain Cook monument<br />

commemorating his repeat<br />

visits to the area.<br />

Remarkably, one of the<br />

original cannons from<br />

Endeavour, adorns the<br />

monument. <strong>The</strong> cannon<br />

was salvaged from North<br />

Queensland, after the<br />

Endeavour ran aground<br />

on a reef and the crew<br />

had to throw numerous<br />

equipment overboard, to<br />

free the ship. A gorgeous<br />

carved pou whenua (pole)<br />

was installed at Ship Cove<br />

12 years ago, illustrating<br />

the legend of Kupe and the<br />

giant octopus he chased in<br />

these waters. Lacing up my<br />

walking boots, I struck out<br />

for a taster of the Queen<br />

Charlotte Track.<br />

<strong>The</strong> full traverse from<br />

Ship Cove to Anakiwa is a<br />

three or four-day affair, but<br />

itching for a sample of this<br />

celebrated trek, I embarked<br />

on the first day’s section to<br />

Furneaux Lodge.<br />

<strong>The</strong> lookout point at<br />

Tawa Saddle serves up seraphic<br />

views across Queen<br />

Charlotte Sound, while pixel-burning<br />

vantage points<br />

loom large as your descend<br />

into Resolution Bay. In the<br />

higher reaches of the track,<br />

the elevated views serve up<br />

mouth-watering glimpses<br />

of some of New Zealand’s<br />

most remote holiday<br />

homes, glorious little escape<br />

pads of supreme seclusion.<br />

From Resolution Bay,<br />

the final stretch followed<br />

a well-graded old bridle<br />

path over a ridge and into<br />

Endeavour Inlet. An unexpected<br />

surprise was the<br />

short detour to ogle one of<br />

New Zealand’s largest and<br />

oldest trees.<br />

A 1000-year-old rimu, in<br />

Howden Forest. A viewing<br />

boardwalk was recently<br />

built around the tree to<br />

safeguard its ancient roots.<br />

What a stunning specimen<br />

it is. I toddled across the<br />

finish line with a flourish,<br />

sweetly surrendering to the<br />

laid-back hospitality embrace<br />

of Furneaux Lodge.<br />

Built by the Howden family<br />

110 years ago, the original<br />

homestead was thronging<br />

with thirsty patrons,<br />

chilling out and swapping<br />

tales, before boarding the<br />

boat at 5pm for the return<br />

run to Picton, as another<br />

pod of frisky dolphins<br />

shepherded us home.<br />

In Brief<br />

DUNN STABLE FINED $14K<br />

<strong>The</strong> Robert Dunn Harness Racing<br />

Stable has been fined $14,000 after<br />

three horses returned positive<br />

tests to the banned substance<br />

caffeine. Robert Dunn was fined<br />

$7000, while his son John, who<br />

manages the Woodend Beach<br />

stable and was in charge of<br />

the horses that tested positive,<br />

was fined $7000. <strong>The</strong> Racing<br />

Integrity Unit did not charge<br />

the Dunns until February after<br />

an investigation lasting eight<br />

months following a meet in<br />

Nelson. Robert Dunn initially<br />

claimed the horses were ‘nobbled’.<br />

However, no evidence was found<br />

to support this and they pleaded<br />

guilty to presenting a horse with a<br />

prohibited substance.<br />

KART RACE CONTROVERSY<br />

Controversy has marred a<br />

tight-fought race between two<br />

junior Christchurch racers at the<br />

KartSport New Zealand national<br />

sprint championships in Rotorua.<br />

On Sunday, Jacob Douglas<br />

crossed the line first to retain the<br />

Vortex Mini ROK class title he<br />

won last year. But he was disqualified<br />

following a protest by fellow<br />

Christchurch driver Louis Sharpe,<br />

who was promoted from second<br />

to win the title. <strong>The</strong> result remains<br />

provisional subject to an appeal by<br />

Douglas’ team.<br />

Christie to lead NZ from front<br />

• By Gordon FIndlater<br />

PROMISING LOOSE forward<br />

Tom Christie has vowed to lead<br />

from the front at the Oceania<br />

rugby under-20 championship<br />

on the Gold Coast.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christchurch club man<br />

and former Shirley Boys’ High<br />

School first XV captain will<br />

skipper New Zealand at the<br />

Gold Coast tournament.<br />

“To be given a leadership role<br />

is an honour,” said Christie.<br />

“I pride myself on leadership<br />

qualities. It’s something that<br />

helps you perform I find. For<br />

me my performance is my<br />

No 1 goal, but being given a<br />

leadership role emphasises the<br />

need to perform for me.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> squad will assemble in<br />

Auckland on <strong>April</strong> 21 before<br />

departing for the Gold Coast.<br />

Canterbury players Ngane<br />

Punivai, Will Tucker and<br />

former Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

outside back Will Jordan are<br />

also part of the squad.<br />

New Zealand will play against<br />

Tonga, Fiji and Australia. <strong>The</strong><br />

team will be looking to claim<br />

their fifth title in as many years.<br />

Members of the squad will be<br />

pushing their case for selection<br />

in the world championship next<br />

month in France.<br />

Canty bowlers<br />

aim for gold<br />

• By Gordon FIndlater<br />

IT WILL be an all-Canterbury<br />

affair for one team with medal<br />

aspirations at the Gold Coast<br />

Commonwealth Games.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Blackjacks women’s triples<br />

team of Mandy Boyd, Katherine<br />

Inch and Tayla Bruce know<br />

they will have the weight of the<br />

nation on them when triples section<br />

play starts on Monday.<br />

However, when they bowl for<br />

gold, they’ll also be doing it with<br />

red and black pride, all hailing<br />

from Canterbury.<br />

“For me, I’m really honoured<br />

to be able to represent New<br />

Zealand alongside such great<br />

friends. <strong>The</strong> experience has been<br />

incredible so far and we can only<br />

hope to try our best to come<br />

back with medals around our<br />

necks,” said Bruce.<br />

It is Bruce and Inch’s first<br />

Commonwealth Games. Boyd<br />

was part of the women’s four<br />

which won bronze in Glasgow<br />

and was part of the Canterbury<br />

women’s team which won the<br />

national inter-centre title last<br />

month. <strong>The</strong> trio are all part<br />

of the NZ fours team to start<br />

section play today. <strong>The</strong>y will be<br />

joined in the four by Australianbased<br />

TOMORROW NIGHT’S match<br />

between the Hurricanes and the<br />

Sharks in Napier will be the last<br />

match at McLean Park before the<br />

excavators move in to rebuild the<br />

oval.<br />

Nominally a home match<br />

for the Hurricanes, it is the last<br />

match at McLean Park before<br />

it gets a new drainage system, a<br />

drop-in cricket block and a new<br />

hybrid turf.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hurricanes travelled<br />

to Melbourne over Easter to<br />

hammer hosts and surprise early<br />

competition leaders the Rebels<br />

50-19, while the Natal-based<br />

Sharks walloped the hapless<br />

Blues 63-40 in Auckland.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hurricanes scored seven<br />

tries and the Sharks six, pointing<br />

to the likelihood of try-fest in<br />

Napier similar to the highly<br />

entertaining last two Hurricanes<br />

matches at the park – a 56-21<br />

win over the Brumbies last<br />

year and a 56-20 win over the<br />

Highlanders in 2015.<br />

With the Rebels on a bye this<br />

week, a win for the Hurricanes<br />

will put them into the<br />

competition lead.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y have overtaken the<br />

Crusaders as TAB favourites to<br />

win the competition, and are hot<br />

favourites to win on Friday.<br />

With fine weather forecast<br />

during Friday and a mild night<br />

with a light wind, the Hawkes<br />

Bay Rugby Union is hoping that,<br />

with covered seating almost sold<br />

out, the match will fill the Morris<br />

St embankment, and create<br />

possibly the biggest crowd for<br />

any sports event in Hawkes Bay<br />

this year.<br />

Last month Hawkes Bay<br />

Rugby Union chief executive<br />

Jay Campbell said sales for the<br />

match were more than 1000 up<br />

in comparison with the build-up<br />

to last year’s clash between the<br />

Hurricanes and Brumbies. He<br />

said such high-scoring matches<br />

attracted the public and were<br />

well remembered. “I think the<br />

Five tips for renovators<br />

Building or renovating a home to take you<br />

through the generations can be challenging.<br />

Before you start, here are five things you<br />

should think about:<br />

1. Creating flexible living spaces.<br />

How will your family’s use of living spaces<br />

change over the coming years? Are the<br />

living spaces big enough to cater to an older<br />

or extended family?<br />

2. Slashing your energy bills.<br />

With energy costs on the rise, thinking<br />

about sustainable design minimises the<br />

impact on the environment and your<br />

monthly power bill.<br />

3. Creating outdoor living spaces.<br />

People renovating often add a lower level<br />

or build on top. Both options allow you to<br />

create a linkage to an outdoor setting which<br />

can be designed as an extra “living room”.<br />

Ensure the landscape design is linked in<br />

with the overall design for the renovation.<br />

4. Future-proofing for new<br />

technologies.<br />

You can future proof your home by<br />

designing in smart cabling systems that<br />

act as conduits for future technologies<br />

such as internet over the TV.<br />

5. Family considerations.<br />

Think about extending bedrooms<br />

and having living spaces for study.<br />

Also, factor in bedroom size: children<br />

might be happy in single beds when<br />

they are young, but there will come a<br />

time when they want a double bed and<br />

extra space that goes with it.<br />

Autumn’s here...<br />

clear the gutters<br />

and keep them clean<br />

Before clearing the gutter of any debris, it’s<br />

best to securely block off the tops of any<br />

downpipes with a large rag or old towel.<br />

This prevents any of the collected sludge<br />

being washed down and potential causing<br />

a blocking. Beginning at one end, carefully<br />

scoop out any leaves and sludge (either with<br />

a purpose made gutter scoop or small plastic<br />

trowel) and deposit the debris in a bucket.<br />

Work your way along the length of each<br />

section of guttering, emptying the bucket<br />

as necessary. Once the guttering is clear of<br />

mess, remove the rag or towel and sluice<br />

the gutter with clean water, scrubbing (if<br />

necessary) with a stiff-bristled brush.<br />

Once you’re satisfied the inside of the gutter<br />

is clear and clean, use a preparatory house<br />

or paint wash (diluted with warm water to<br />

the recommended ratio) to carefully scrub<br />

the guttering and downpipes with a brush,<br />

rinsing off any soapy residue with clean<br />

water. For any really stubborn or unsightly<br />

areas of mould, consider using a preparatory<br />

moss and mould killer. While up the ladder,<br />

do a routine check on the condition of the<br />

guttering, ensuring that water runs away<br />

freely and there are no splits, gaps in the<br />

joints or broken brackets along each section.<br />

Check also along the edge of the roof for any<br />

potential maintenance issues as now is the<br />

time to address any signs of rust or other<br />

damage.<br />

BLOCKED DRAINPIPES<br />

Should the water not flow freely along the<br />

guttering and exit via the downpipe, it<br />

may be there’s a blockage in the downpipe<br />

that will need clearing. Begin by carefully<br />

feeding a garden hose down the top of<br />

the drainpipe until it stops; then turn it on<br />

full. This may be enough to dislodge the<br />

blockage. Failing that, consider using a<br />

length of strong wire or a thin rod to shift<br />

the compacted debris. For truly stubborn<br />

blockages, it may be necessary to remove<br />

the downpipe completely. Beginning at the<br />

bottom of the pipe, unscrew each bracket<br />

and carefully remove the downpipe (or each<br />

section, as necessary) and free the inside of<br />

any blockage with a piece of garden stake<br />

(or strong bamboo). sluice the pipe out<br />

with running water. In extreme cases it may<br />

be necessary to use a water blaster. Once<br />

unblocked, replace the pipe, screwing back<br />

the brackets in reverse order.<br />

PREVENTION<br />

Prevention is better than cure so consider<br />

placing plastic netting or mesh over<br />

guttering to act as a filter and stop leaves<br />

and other large debris causing a problem.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are also a number of other custommade<br />

gutter products on the market<br />

including brush-like ‘whiskers’ and other<br />

‘gutter guards’. Remember, however, that<br />

even with these gutter protectors you’ll<br />

still need to check your guttering system<br />

annually to ensure run-off flows freely. Small<br />

particles of dust and dirt can still accumulate<br />

underneath any gutter protector causing<br />

a build-up of sludge, and inhibiting water<br />

flow, both of which can lead to potential<br />

damage. If in doubt, seek advice from your<br />

building professional.<br />

TOP TIPS<br />

Instead of blocking downpipes with a<br />

rag or towel, consider installing a water<br />

diverter on each. This purpose made device<br />

is simple to fit and readily diverts debris<br />

from the downpipe by way of a plastic flap.<br />

When not being used, the flap is clicked the<br />

other way, and water will flow normally<br />

through the pipe and into the drain.<br />
