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 />

but it was “dangerous” and<br />
the first priority was health<br />
and safety.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> potential of<br />
carrying out some work to<br />
tidy areas of the Cathedral<br />
site, is actively being<br />
discussed between the<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 />
the Christchurch City Council<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 />

month to<br />
raise money<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 />
have to drop everything and just<br />
go to the airport,” the Gun City<br />
owner told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> just before<br />
lunch time yesterday.<br />
So that’s what he did.<br />

litter in the region, with takeaway<br />
packing and cups following second,<br />
making up only 5 per cent of<br />
the total litter.<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 />
(78 per cent).<br />

Mr Tipple needed<br />

KNZB has revealed the areas<br />
in Canterbury with the highest<br />
numbers of people littering were<br />
public buildings, listing the library<br />
and museum as examples.<br />
This was compared to other<br />

KNZB will launch its first antilitter<br />
campaign since the 1990s.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ministry for the Environment<br />
has granted KNZB funding<br />
for the campaign, after volunteers<br />

the campaign, as ‘Mama Nature’,<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 />

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 />

trying to park anywhere near<br />

consider trying to park in the<br />
area when Saturday sports are<br />
on at Hagley Park, the parking<br />
building being built now will not<br />

New Government MPs<br />
are working to resolve<br />
Christchurch Hospital’s<br />
parking situation by the<br />
start of winter as the<br />
situation reaches “crunch<br />
point.”<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 />

sticker but never any parks free<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 />
Cantabrian who has stood in the<br />
elements in a south-westerly/<br />

it is. Shelters are required at bare<br />
minimum.<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 />

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 />

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 />
our travelling.<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 />
makes it pleasurable to most<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
Nelson bowler Val Smith.<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 />
