FINAL SALUTE: Fergie McCormick’s iconic No 15 jersey was retired for the day when Linwood played High School Old Boys 

at Linfield Park on Saturday. 

Fitting tribute to Fergie 

• By Gordon Findlater 

RUGBY LEGEND Fergie 

McCormick was given a fitting 

tribute at the home ground of 

his old club on Saturday. 

A pair of gumboots and a No 

15 Linwood jersey were placed 

at Linfield Park as Linwood and 

their rivals High School Old 

Boys held a minute’s silence 

before kick-off. 

Both teams’ fullbacks then 

played the match without the 

No 15 on their backs as a salute 

to McCormick, who lost his battle 

with throat cancer last week. 

The match was originally 

scheduled to be played at Bob 

Deans Field. However, Old Boys 

agreed to move the match to 

Linfield. 

“A lot of players from Fergie’s 

era came out of the woodwork. 

There was a lot of nostalgia 

about it,” said Linwood rugby 

development officer Adam Parker. 

“We asked Old Boys about 

moving the game on Thursday 

and they were on-board. It was 

exactly what community rugby

continues 

over 

hospital 

park 

and ride 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

FIXING Christchurch Hospital’s 

park and ride service has been 

laid squarely at the feet of the 

Canterbury District Health 

Board. 

The Ministry of Health told The 

Star yesterday the CDHB is responsible 

for short-term parking. 

It came after CDHB board 

member Andrew Dickerson 

pointed the finger at the ministry, 

saying since it took over responsibility 

for parking projects in 2015, 

nothing had been done. 

The CDHB set up park and ride 

“in desperation”, Mr Dickerson 

said. 

“We did it because of continued 

delays in work commencing on 

the car parking projects. 

“Given problems we’re now 

facing are the result of inaction by 

the Ministry of Health, I would 

like to see them being more forthcoming 

with funding, but I also 

want to see permanent solutions 

too.” 

But ministry critical projects 

director Michael Hundleby said it 

was not the ministry’s problem. 

“While Canterbury is undergoing 

a major billion dollar hospital 

rebuild which will include a 

permanent multi-storey car park 

planned to be completed in 2020, 

Canterbury DHB continues to 

be responsible for its short term 

parking.” •Turn to page 4

TWO TOUCHING stories 

today, and both involving 

fullbacks. 

On page 1, we report on the 

tribute to Fergie McCormick at 

Linfield Park on Saturday, home 

ground of his old club Linwood. 

The Linwood and High 

School Old Boys fullbacks in 

that match didn’t wear No 15 

on their jerseys, and a pair of 

gumboots and a Linwood No 15 

jumper were set in front of the 

two sides as a minute’s silence 

was observed. 

On page 3, Marist Albion is 

remembering one of its famous 

sons leading up to Anzac Day 

– Jum Turtill, its first All Black 

when the club was just Albion. 

Turtill switched codes to 

league, as many did back then, 

and made his way to one of the 

British powerhouse clubs – St 

Helens. 

Turtill was sadly killed during 

World War 1. It’s great his 

Albion legacy lives on. 

And on page 1, more duck 

shoving apparently over the 

hospital park and ride. 

Just fix it.

IT’S BEEN 100 years since rugby 

player Hurbert ‘Jum’ Turtill was 

killed in action in France during 

World War 1. 

Turtill played for Albion, now 

known as Marist Albion, was an 

All Black, played for the pioneering 

All Golds and later professional 

rugby league for British 

club St Helens. 

Now Marist Albion is remembering 

one of its most famous 

forgotten sons, club president 

Dave Barker said. 

“We’ve been aware of the 

history, we’re also aware that 

Jum died 100 years ago, which 

is pretty significant. So we’re 

taking a moment to honour that 

legacy,” he said as Anzac Day 

looms. 

The club raised a toast and 

held a minute’s silence for Turtill 

during a tribute on Saturday 

night. 

Mr Barker said it wants to 

instil the history of the club in 

younger players. 

Club member Pat Barry is 

piecing together a history of 

Turtill for the club’s records. 

Turtill played fullback for 

Canterbury in 1902, and played 

his only test for the All Blacks in 

1905, beating Australia in Dunedin. 

“He’s our first All Black, 

that’s important,” Mr Barry said. 

“We’ve looked at the history 

of the various All Blacks over 

the years. It’s good for people 

to be aware of who have gone 

beforehand.” 

In 1907, Turtill switched to 

rugby league and played six test 

matches, captaining New Zealand 

in the first ever test against 

Australia the following season. 

He eventually settled in the 

United Kingdom where he 

linked up with St Helens. 

When war broke out, he joined 

the British Army and was part 

of the 422nd Field Company, 

Royal Engineers. Turtill fought 

in France from 1915, surviving 

the battles of Pilckem Ridge and 

Menin Road Ridge. 

But on April 9, 1918, the 

38-year-old was mortally 

wounded by shrapnel in French

another was a prisoner-of-war,” 

Mr Barry said. 

Mr Barry said the significance 

of Turtill to the country and club 

has prompted him to try and 

track down Turtill’s 

great-grandsons in the United 

Kingdom. 

“I left a message on an answer

Makeover for signs 


ABOUT 60 directional signs in 

the central city are set to get a 

makeover. 

Both vehicular and cycle directional 

signs within the four avenues 

will either be updated and replaced 

by the city council, manager operations 

(transport) Steffan Thomas 

said. 

The work is expected to cost ratepayers 

about $200,000, he said. 

“That’s around 60 new or updated 

signs,” he said. While work on each 

sign will differ, it will cost $3300 per 

sign on average. 

Mr Thomas said regularly updating 

or replacing directional signs is 

a “key component” in developing 

how people find their way around 

the city. 

“So that people can find their way 

to specific places and navigate the 

city,” he said. 

In a report to the city council’s 

infrastructure, environment and 

transport committee, staff said the 

updated signs were at the “detailed 

design” stage. 

Installing the new signage is 

expected to occur over the second 

and third quarters of the year, Mr 

Thomas said.

Brownlee sick of being blamed 


GERRY BROWNLEE says 

he was always aware botched 

earthquake repairs could come 

at a huge financial cost to the 

Government. 

But the former minister of 

Canterbury earthquake recovery 

said yesterday the issue was 

not knowing 

when 

the problem 

would surface 

or how 

big it would 

be. 

“We 

didn’t know 

Gerry Brownlee 

how big 

that issue 

could be, 

but that it could arise,” he said. 

Mr Brownlee was also minister 

in charge of the Earthquake 

Commission under the National 

Government, which has been 

bearing the brunt of criticism 

over the issue. 

The Government could face a 

bill of up to $1 billion to fix the 

botched repairs. 

EQC has revealed 664 “onsold” 

homeowners have gone 

come forward with re-repair 

issues that have then gone over 

the EQC $115,000 cap when 

reassessed. More could be 

identified. Minister of Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods said she is aware 

a big bill would be coming, but 

shifted blame for the “real mess” 

onto Mr Brownlee’s Government. 

“The first legal case on this 

issue was lodged in May of 2016, 

and EQC has always known this 

was going to be an issue when 

repaired homes started to be 

sold...Yet when our Government 

took over, nothing had been 

done,” she said. 

Mr Brownlee said the Government 

was forced to wait to 

see how it would arise. 

“You’ve got unique problems 

that have occurred here. We 

could have said no repairs for 

five years until the land’s settled..or 

don’t sell your house... 

but that would have been unacceptable.” 

But he is sick of taking the 

blame. “I’m sick of throwing my 

hands up in the air, when they 

say let’s blame the other guy.” 

Dr Woods had ordered the

how much the bill could be. She 

and Minister of Justice Andrew 

Little are looking to fund test

She said this could take

“I’ve also asked for urgent

taxpayer...It’s important we 

know what this could cost so we 

can plan for it effectively.”

Council won’t 

disclose advice 

over dog letters 

THE CITY council won’t say what 

legal advice it received leading 

to sending out an incorrect 

instruction for all dogs classified as 

menacing to be muzzled – even in 

their own homes. 

City council consenting and 

compliance general manager 

Leonie Rae said it was “legally 

privileged”. 

Earlier this month the city 

council sent letters to all menacing 

dog owners saying their animals 

had to wear muzzles when “at 

large”, including while they were 

in their own homes and properties. 

It caused uproar forcing the city 

council to seek independent legal 

advice. Dogs are classed as menacing 

if they are a certain breed, or 

have attacked or shown aggressive 

behaviour. Ms Rae said initially 

the city council sought legal advice 

about the definition of “at large” 

from its own legal team. 

It was then determined that 

included homes and properties. 

But after uproar, the city council 

sought external legal advice from 

Buddle Findlay, which found the 

instruction would not be upheld in 

court. The city council then apologised 

and did a u-turn.

Haig’s family drops civil case 


• By Jono Edwards 

A GRUELLING battle has ended 

after the family of a man wrongly 

imprisoned for 10 years dropped 

a compensation bid to avoid 

“further heartache.” 

Rex Haig, who moved to 

Christchurch in his later years, 

died peacefully at his home in 

November. 

Immediately following Mr 

Haig’s death, his Dunedin--based 

family was unsure 

whether they 

would continue 

with the compensation 

case he had 

been mounting 

in the preceding 

Rex Haig 

months. 

His daughter 

Angela Haig- 

McAuliffe said the family had 

decided to drop the bid. 

“To us, as a family, it is not 

about the money, but about 

knowing in our hearts the story 

of his innocence and the story of 

those that are guilty in this. 

“We found our way through 

many difficult times and do not 

wish for any further heartache for 

our family.’’ 

The family made the decision so 

they did not have to go “through 

the pain of being disappointed’’

by the justice system again, she 

said. 

Mr Haig was convicted in 1995 

for the murder of Mark Roderique 

and spent 10 years in prison. 

Mr Roderique went missing on a 

fishing trip near Westland on Mr 

Haig’s boat the previous year. 

In 1997, Mr Haig and other 

inmates were involved in a high 

profile incident at Paparua 

Prison. They held prison officers 

hostage with fake explosives, carried 

out because of concerns over 

injustice. 

Mr Haig fought to have the 

murder conviction overturned. 

After an initial appeal was turned 

down, the Court of Appeal 

quashed his conviction in 2006.

His compensation claim the

a new case. 

The Government did “anything 

in its power’’ to stop his first 

compensation bid, Mrs Haig- 

McAuliffe said. 

“Apart from the quashing of his 

conviction in 2006, the fight has 

cost all of us dearly and taken its 

toll on everyone involved. 

“We and all of his many 

supporters know that he was innocent 

and that’s all that matters 

to us.’’

bid could have been continued

Coffee and Fritz’s 

Wieners will set up new stores. 

Piki Poke, which has just 

opened in The Crossing, will 

be in the mix, with Tiki Taco, 

Steampunk Laboratory, Herba 

Gourmet, Empire Coffee, Pure 

Pulp, Malaysia Delights, Sally’s 

Gourmet and Hikari Sushi 

Train. 

Other foods stalls will include 

a Turkish bakery, Nepalese, 

kombucha, a noodle bar, rotisserie, 

dumplings, crepes and tea. 

A cooking school will be established 

on the first floor. 

Hugo Boss will open a store 

in Riverside Lanes alongside 

Sergios, Alchemy Equipment 

and Cosmic. 

Mr Peebles said they were “really 

chuffed” with the calibre of 

the confirmed tenants. 

“We’ve targeted local companies 

that are doing well. We 

turned down a lot of the big 

franchise operations to go with 

the brands and businesses that 

have started up.” 

He said many had been based 

at Re:START previously or had 

eateries at Little High, like Bacon 

Bros Burgers, which he described 

as the “Fergburger of Christchurch”. 

Others such as Dimitris and 

Pedro’s House of Lamb were 

Christchurch “institutions”, he 

said. “We wanted to get those 

personalities involved. It’s got to 

be local and authentic.”



eateries 

Mr Peebles said they were now 

looking for fresh fruit and vegetable 

suppliers, and organic food stalls. 

Riverside (right) would be open from 

7am-7pm daily, with some late nights. 

“We’re planning this to be the new 

heart of the town,” Mr Peebles said. 

“We’re hoping to have activities, particularly 

in summer, two or three times 

a week.” The group is also developing 

the former Guthrey Centre site and the 

Duncans Buildings on High St. 

Want to run a food or coffee cart? 


FANCY RUNNING a coffee cart by the 

sea in Corsair Bay or serving food at the 

top of the Rapaki Track? 

The city council is running a registration 

of interest process to find more than 

50 food and beverage vendors to operate 

in some scenic spots across the city and 

Banks Peninsula. 

City council head of facilities, property 

and planning Bruce Rendall said mobile 

food vendors provided a service, and 

helped activate parks and other public 

spaces. 

“These sites are generally already occupied 

by traders on a month-to-month 

basis.” 

The areas include multiple sites at 

Margaret Mahy Family Playground, 

Cathedral Square during both weekdays 

and the Friday Street Food Market, and 

on Cashmere Rd. 

Others include Summit Rd at Rapaki 

Track, Corsair Bay, Bottle Lake Forest, 

Taylors Mistake, Ferrymead’s Humphreys 

Drive, Akaroa, Evans Pass, Mt 

Pleasant’s Scott Park and Broad Park at 

Waimairi. 

Spots at Halswell Quarry, New Brighton 

beach south ramp, North Beach Surf 

Life Saving Club, South New Brighton 

Park, South Brighton Surf Life Saving 

Club, North Hagley Park and South 

Hagley Park are also up for grabs. 

Mr Rendall said the city council 

wanted to provide a transparent and 

competitive process to identify vendors 

for up to five years. 

The vendors would have be be selfsufficient 

in power, water and waste and 

hold the relevant licences.

DAMAGED: The Christchurch Civic Trust is helping with an effort to save 

McLean’s Mansion. 


Civic trust joins bid to 

save McLean’s Mansion 


THE Christchurch Civic Trust has got on 

board with a massive fundraising effort 

to try and restore the historic McLean’s 

Mansion. 

With 53 rooms, the earthquakedamaged 

category two heritage building 

on Manchester St is the largest wooden 

residential building in the country. 

The McLean’s Mansion Charitable Trust 

was formed in 2016 to try and buy it, as is 

where is, off the Murray family and restore 

it. Now the civic trust is getting on board. 

Civic trust chairman Chris Kissling said 

it would launch a campaign at a public 

meeting next Thursday to help raise the 

initial $2.5 million needed to buy the 

property. 

Once that was done, it would then look 

to raise the $7.5-$9 million to restore 

the building to be used as an art gallery, 

among other things, he said. 

Prof Kissling said the Murray family 

had agreed to give an interest-free loan 

of $2.5 million so the McLean’s Mansion 

Charitable Trust could take ownership of 

the building and land. 

The loan would need to be paid off 

within three years, he said. 

The McLean’s Mansion Charitable Trust 

needs to take ownership of the site to be 

able to access the $1.9 million central 

city landmark heritage grant, which was 

approved by the city council in 2016, Prof 

Kissling said. 

He said that grant could only be used for 

the building’s repairs. 

Prof Kissling said the McLean’s Mansion 

Charitable Trust wanted to be able to access 

that money sooner rather than later so 

it was not committed elsewhere. 

The public meeting is set to be held at the 

Oxford Terrace Baptist Church where the 

civic trust would launch the campaign. 

Prof Kissling and former McLean’s Mansion 

Charitable Trust chairman Trevor 

Lord would speak. 

Said Prof Kissling: “This is the last building 

of its type. We’ve lost so many other 

heritage buildings post-quake, so we’ve 

got to go all out to save it. I’d hate to think 

what happens if we fail.” 

While the civic trust had helped raise 

money for other projects, such as Mona 

Vale and Mt Vernon Park, this would be 

the largest, he said. 

“It’s a big ask, but given its status as the 

largest wooden residence in the whole of 

New Zealand, and probably Australasia, it 

would seem well worth saving.” 

•The public meeting will be held 

at Oxford Terrace Baptist Church, 

286 Oxford Tce, next Thursday from 

5.30pm-7pm. Anyone is welcome to 

attend.

School’s $20m sports facility 


THE CENTRAL city will get 

a new $20 million sporting 

facility. 

But not from the Government. 

Christ’s College will build a 

sporting excellence, health and 

well-being centre on school land 

in Cranmer Square. 

Architectus, which designed 

the city’s bus interchange, has 

developed a concept design 

and business 

case for the new 

complex at the 

old Christchurch 

Girls’ High School 

site on the corner 

of Montreal and 

Steve 

Kelsen 

Armagh Sts. 

College director 

of finance and 

operations Steve Kelsen said the 

building was part of the school’s 

master plan, which is about 

“getting out of the gates” and 

into the community. 

The facility will include a 

multipurpose sports hall, indoor 

rowing tank, several classrooms, 

strength and conditioning 

facilities, as well as sport science 

and health professional suites. 

“For us, it’s a demonstration 

to our commitment to students’ 

MASTER PLAN: Christ’s College is set to build a new $20 

million sporting facility in Cranmer Square. 


well-being as much as sporting 

excellence. There will be physios, 

nutritionists and counsellors 

there as well,” he said. 

The sports centre site is 

currently being used as a 

car park, but Mr Kelsen said 

the college has set a goal 

of construction beginning 

sometime next year, with the 

facility completed by 2020. 

“But that’s a conditional goal 

. . . the facility starting 

construction is dependant on 

fundraising,” he said. 

The board of governors has 

set a fundraising target of $7.5 

million, half of the proposed 

construction cost. Another $5 

million will be spent on the fit 

out. 

More than $2 million has been 

raised so far, he said. 

Mr Kelsen said the facility will 

be open to community groups 

for use, as well as by the college. 

“We’re not quite sure at what 

capacity it will be open to the 

public, but we’ve been talking 

with some sports organisations 

and clubs to see whether they 

might become tenants,” he said. 

The college’s master plan also 

includes a new science building 

and a music and performance 

centre. 

The new science centre will 

be built within the current 

college’s Rolleston Ave grounds 

on the site of the existing gym 

and science block, which will be 

demolished. 

The arts centre will be built 

next to the new sport facility on 

Armagh St. 

Port strike 

settlement 

looms 

THE RAIL and Maritime 

Transport Union has lifted its 

strike notices, as it moves closer 

to settling with Lyttelton Port 

Company. 

An “in principle” agreement 

was reached yesterday, regarding 

terms of a settlement, which 

would require formal ratification 

by RMTU members at LPC. 

Eleven RMTU members had 

issued a strike notice for April 

26-29, but as a result of the 

agreement, all strike notices and 

LPC’s lockout notice have been 

withdrawn. 

They have been locked in a 

dispute for months. 

LPC says RMTU wants a better 

settlement than the other major 

union at the port, Maritime Union 

of New Zealand. 

LPC chief executive Peter 

Davie said the lifting of the strike 

notices was an “extremely positive 

step” as they moved closer to 

achieving settlement. 

“LPC wants to acknowledge 

customers’ ongoing support and 

thank them for their patience 

during the industrial action.” 

From Small Town NZ 

To Travel Consultant 

When you're from small town New 

Zealand you have to make some hard 

decisions once you finish high school. It 

was a big one for Tempany which 

involved moving out of home in 

Ashburton and moving to the bigger 

city up the road - Christchurch, to 

attend Avonmore Tertiary Institute. 

Tempany, being a naturally shy and 

quiet person was a little worried about 

how a new course in a new city was 

going to go, but it was easier than she 

thought - "turning every corner and 

seeing a smile and feeling welcomed" 

quickly made her feel more relaxed and 

at home. She also puts her success 

down to her "amazing tutor" who 

helped her to learn so much, not only 

about the travel and tourism industry 

but also about herself and what she was 

capable of. 

Her biggest challenge while studying 

was opening up to people and making 

friends, something that was to be very 

important for the customer focused role 

she would be aiming for upon 

graduation. 

While at Avonmore Tempany studied 

from Tourism Level 3 through to Travel 

Level 4 . Tempany says "The travel and 

tourism courses were amazing, they 

gave me the knowledge I needed to get 

where I am now and the tutors were 

amazing, they pushed you to achieve at 

the highest standard and they never 

gave up on you." She particularly liked 

how they took the class outside the 

classroom to "see and experience the 

travel and tourism industry". 

We asked Tempany what advice would 

she give to other students looking at 

this course? She said "just do it, it’s an 

amazing course, amazing tutors and 

you learn so much, not just about the 

travel industry but you learn a lot about 

yourself as well. You get to go on some 

pretty cool trips and once you’re in a 

course and you feel like giving up 

because it’s too hard, don’t give up, 

keep trying it, it will be worth it in the 

end, and talk to your tutor that’s what 

they there for, to help". 

After all of Tempany's hard work and 

dedication the best news is that she is 

Tempany at her new job as a Travel 

Consultant with World Travellers. 

now working at World Travellers 

Ashburton as a Travel Consultant. 

How did she do it? It was a really 

important part of the programme to get 

her CV and cover letter sorted and then it 

was suggested to talk to some travel 

agents about getting work experience, 

and that’s just what she did, "I got work 

experience at World Travellers and then 

they offered me a job".

Businessman jailed 

for not paying tax 

A BUSINESSMAN involved 

in the Canterbury rebuild has 

been sentenced to three years 

and four months in jail for 

not paying $1.5 million of his 

employee’s tax deductions to 

Inland Revenue. 

Libor Lasek, 47, was sentenced 

on 44 charges relating to 

five building services companies 

in district court yesterday. 

He had failed to pass on 

the PAYE deducted from his 

employees’ pay, along with 

KiwiSaver, child support, 

superannuation and student 

loan payments, over a four-year 

period. 

Inland Revenue spokesman 

Tony Morris said Lasek showed 

a degree of contempt for the tax 

system, as his offending continued 

for nearly three years after 

he was initially warned about 

the consequences. 

Shortly after four of his 

companies were placed in 

liquidation on application by 

Inland Revenue, he carried on 

with the same type of offending 

while controlling another 

company. 

“Mr Lasek was given multiple 

opportunities to put this situation 

right and entered into 

several instalment arrangements 

to clear the arrears. But 

ultimately he never followed 

through and clearly decided 

that meeting his tax obligations 

was not a priority.” 

Mr Morris said Lasek was 

getting an unfair advantage 

over his competitors in the 

building industry by not passing 

on his employees’ taxes. 

“This is money that employers 

hold on trust for the Crown, 

to be used to fund services that 

all New Zealanders benefit 

from such as roads, schools 

and hospitals. It’s not theirs to 

spend on whatever purpose 

they decide.” 

The five companies involved 

in the offending – Libor Interiors 

Ltd, Libor Living Ltd, 

Libor Ltd, L Group Ltd and 

Canterbury Joinery – have all 

been placed in liquidation. 

They owed in total more than 

$2.6 million to Inland Revenue 

and other creditors. 

The total tax that remained 

unpaid across all companies 

after late payments and credit 

transfers was $1,371,673, and is 

unlikely to be recovered. 

Plan for quake bridge 

• By Sophie Cornish 

PART OF a wrecked bridge over 

the Avon River will be kept to 

remind people of the destructive 

power of earthquakes. 

The Medway St bridge in Richmond 

was removed by the city 

council in 2013 after becoming 

twisted following the September 

2010 earthquake. 

Avon-Otakaro Network is 

behind the idea. Spokesman Evan 

Smith said city council has given 

consent for the project, which 

will begin in the next few weeks. 

It will be located alongside 

the new Avon River trail on the 

Avonside side of the river, just 

north of the bridge’s original 

location. 

The structure was cut into 

three for transporting when 

removed. 

The project will only be 

temporary. It will eventually be 

completely restored. 

Last year last year part of the 

bridge was used in a mini golf 

course, as part of a project by Gap 

Filler and Serious Fun Partnership, 

on the corner of Madras and 

Armagh Sts. 

Richmond residents said 

the use of the bridge was 

MUNTED: The Medway St footbridge was twisted in the 

September 2010 earthquake. (Below) – What the transitional 

project may look like which will see one part of the footbridge 

put on display near its original location. 

“disrespectful”. 

Grants from Regenerate 

Christchurch and city council 

will drive the new project, which 

will see a viewing platform 

installed diagonally opposite the 

structure and signage displaying 

the significance of the bridge. 

The site is used as a place of remembrance, 

including the ‘River 

of Flowers’ memorial event being 

held annually on February 22.

Real Hope For Long Term 

Back Pain Sufferers 

After more than ten years in 

New Zealand, Teeter Hang-Ups 

have now gained a reputation 

for success with long-term 

sufferers of Back pain. Inversion 

New Zealand was started 

by Dave and Nancy Hare, 

Dave had suffered over 

twenty years of back pain 

from Degenerated Discs and 

had basically given up and 

decided to just live with it. “To 

me surgery was never an 

option” he said “as long as I 

still could walk, there was 

hope”. 

Dave had tried everything; 

every time he was overseas 

he would search for anything 

that could possibly help. 

While on one of these 

overseas trips ten years ago, 

Dave discovered the Teeter 

Hang-Ups. “The first time I 

tried it, the pain disappeared 

and I was completely pain 

free for about 30 minutes, 

nothing had done that” he 

told me. Dave never believed 

it would fix him, “as specialists 

had told me it was irreversible, 

I now knew I had a place 

to go every time I wanted 

some serious relief”. 

To Dave’s surprise the more 

he used the table the longer 

the pain stayed away, until 

after nearly three months he 

was completely pain free, “I 

couldn’t believe it’ he told me 

“I had spent large amounts of 

money on every form of treatment 

available and here 

was something I had never 

heard of sorting it out for 

me in a very short period of 

time” It was then Dave 

decided to introduce Teeter 

into New Zealand and Inversion 

NZ was born. 

Over the years INZ have 

helped thousands of people 

get some serious relief and 

have seen results in not only 

backs, but necks, hips, 

knees, posture, circulation, 

increased height, blood 

pressure and lots more. 

“We have testimonials from 

people with over fifty years 

of back problems and even 

have them in a number of 

schools in New Zealand for 

their special needs children” 

he told me, “the blood to the 

brain helps these kids and 

the results are excellent” 

What this means for the 

aging population is that it 

helps maintain the health of 

the brain as we all get older. 

Dave told me that he 

realised that, had he not 

tried the Teeter for himself 

he would still be suffering, “I 

would still be a miserable 

grumpy bugger, living with 

pain, that is why we do the 

shows, people need to try it 

for themselves” he told me 

“most people actually get 

off with the pain either gone 

or considerably less” he said 

“we let the tables do the 

talking” 

IT IS PURE LOGIC AS TO HOW 

THE TEETER TABLE WORKS 

Discs: It uses gravity to apply traction, 

the traction gently opens the discs and as 

they open up they create suction, this 

suction draws fluid from the surrounding 

tissue back into the discs, re-hydrating 

them. This is the key! Discs do not have 

their own blood supply, they rely on transfer 

of fluid from the surrounding tissue to 

keep them healthy and hydrated and over 

the years as discs get thinner with age, they 

lose the ability to take on fluid (just like 

squeezing a sponge) and they start to 

de-hydrate. 

De-Hydrated discs are less flexible, they are 

harder, more prone to injury, they interfere 

with nerve roots creating pain and 

ultimately the de-hydration causes degeneration. 

The Teeter Inversion table slowly 

and gently brings the hydration back into 

the discs, plumping them up. This brings 

back lost height (most people will regain 

around 2 CM of height), it separates the 

nerve roots far more effectively and returns 

quality of life 

Muscles: A lot of pain is muscular, when 

muscles are stressed they become tight 

which restricts the flow of blood and lymph 

through the muscles so toxins build up, 

Co2 and Lactic Acid. Traction opens up the 

muscles, Rhythmic Traction, is a gentle 

rocking motion that stimulates circulation 

and encourages blood flow through the 

muscles, which clears the lactic acid into 

your lymph system where it stimulates 

lymph flow and deals with it. Most people 

with serious neck issues see a large 

improvement after only one treatment.

Posture: Poor posture is one of the 

major cases of pain and is a major contributor 

to the deterioration of the body with 

age. A difference in leg length causes most 

of the hip and knee issues, as they continue 

to place uneven loads on the joints; 

similar to the wheels out of alignment on 

your car. 

Trying to correct posture is extremely 

difficult due to muscle memory, as it 

constantly pulls the muscles back to where 

they were. At a level of 40 degrees or more 

on the Teeter, the muscle groups open up 

and eventually come back into alignment, 

using the table daily, does not allow the 

muscle memory to pull them back out of 

alignment and slowly the muscles start to 

lose their memory and go with the flow, 

allowing the body to come back into 

correct posture. Then using the table once a 

day will ensure it is kept there. 

This is pure logic, if a machine is out of 

alignment it does not last long, the only 

difference between the body and a 

machine is that the body is constantly 

repairing itself, however if the wear and 

tear on the body is greater than the body’s 

ability to repair itself, it is a slow decline. 

The Teeter slowly brings the body out of its 

decline and allows the body to repair itself, 

resulting in a far healthier life.

health and really sorting your issues out, 

come see us at one of our local roadshows, 

you have nothing to lose and chances are, a 

lot to gain.

Here in New Zealand, 

Dr Giresh Kanji, one of the countries most 

respected Pain Specialists completed a PhD on 

how humans experience pain and then 

researched lower back pain, writing "Fix Your 

Back" and then spent a few years researching 

neck pain, headache and migraine and wrote 

"Fix Your Neck Pain, Headache & Migraine", 

both books are in most bookstores. 

Dr Kanji discovered in the research that the 

disc is the most likely source of low back pain 

and Inversion showed the best results of all the 

trials conducted. Three studies showed a 60% 

reduction in pain and one showed a 75% 

reduction in surgery for people with disc 

prolapse. 

Dr Kanji endorses Inversion as the best method 

to manage back pain, he has personally been 

using the Teeter Inversion tables for his own 

low back pain, has Teeter Inversion tables at 

both of his clinics in Wellington (The Sports 

and Pain Clinic) and has had such success that 

he is now conducting the largest study in the 

World on Inversion Therapy. In his own words, 

"these things are gold and inversion should be 

a first line treatment for low back pain”.

Our People 


Charlotte Ball 

Big crash inspires cyclist to get 

Charlotte Ball, 15, was 

lucky not to be paralysed 

in November after a 

large cycle race pileup 

in Leeston involving 

about 40 riders. She 

was taken to hospital by 

helicopter, which inspired 

her help the Maia Health 

Foundation to successfully 

raise more than $1 million 

for a rooftop helipad at 

Christchurch Hospital. 

She spoke to Georgia 

O’Connor-Harding 

Why did you decide to take 

part in the campaign? 

I just wanted to make 

something good out of a bad 

situation. Try to find something 

good I can do out of it. 

What are your thoughts on 

Christchurch Hospital not 

having a rooftop helicopter pad, 

in spite being one of the busiest 

trauma centres in the country? 

I am surprised that they don’t 

since it is so busy. I thought they 

would have started fundraising 

for one much earlier on. I think 

that would elevate patient care 

if they had a helipad. That time 

can be really vital for someone’s 

recovery. 

How has the campaign ‘13 

minutes’ been going? 

I think they are just over 

halfway. They have raised a lot. 

I guess if everyone puts in a bit, 

they will get there. 

Last year’s crash happened so 

quickly but tell me about what 

you remember. 

I remember going in for the 

sprint and everyone started 

tumbling in front of me. There 

was only a few people in front of 

me because I was in a good spot. 

I grabbed my brakes really hard 

but it was too late. I went into 

the back of the person in front 

of me. Then I ended up on the 

grass lying in the bush. I don’t 

recall how. But I remember just 

hearing the sound of people in 

pain. The sound of bikes hitting 

each other. I don’t think I will 

RECOVERED: Charlotte Ball has not been put off cycling in spite of her vertebrae being crushed 

last year in an crash during a race in Leeston. 


ever forget that sound. I was 

passing out a bit from the pain 

and my friend came over and 

my dad. People were coming and 

going. I remember a firefighter 

holding my head. I don’t really 

recall much more between him 

and the paramedics coming over. 

Next thing I was in the helicopter 

flying to the hospital. 

Do you remember the trip 

in the ambulance from the 

helicopter landing in Hagley 

Park to Christchurch Hospital? 

I know I was really confused. 

I remember being wheeled from 

the helicopter to the ambulance, 

and I just remember looking 

at the guy in the ambulance 

who was from the helicopter. I 

was staring at him. That’s all I 

remember. I was in and out of 

consciousness. One minute I was 

asleep and then I’d wake up and 

be like “what is happening.”’ I 

figured out what was happening 

once I saw mum and dad in the 

hospital. 

What was the recovery like? 

I was in hospital for nine 

nights. Recovery was extremely 

frustrating. I had just got back 

on my bike from recovering 

from surgery and I was now set 

back more months. I couldn’t do 

anything. All I wanted to do is 

go out and ride my bike or just 

walk around but I just couldn’t. I 

had heaps of help, cyclist Hamish 

Schreurs lent me a bike. Everyone 

was being so nice but it couldn’t 

really take away my frustration. 

Being in hospital the last few 

days was absolutely horrible. I 

also didn’t really know what was 

wrong with my bike. 

They said it was broken but 

I didn’t know how bad it was 

or anything and they couldn’t 

tell me how long my recovery 

would be. They said I wouldn’t 

be able do anything for three 

months, which was real annoying 

because we go away at Christmas 

to Cromwell and they said I 

wouldn’t be able to go on the 

boat, on the wakeboard, or 

anything. I was annoyed about 

that. 

When were you able to start 

cycling again? 

While we were away. At the 

start of January, I got on my 

cousin’s bike. I was really slow 

for about 5km. It was tough but 

then I started properly riding. At 

the end of January, I was able to 

go for a decent ride. I have done 

a few races since the crash so I 

am riding properly now. I am not 

training with my coach yet. I am 

waiting a few more weeks. 

Was there any risk of 

becoming paralysed from the 

crash? 

The doctor said I was close to 

being put in Burwood Hospital 

but where it was positioned it 

was a stable fracture. They said I 

was lucky not to be paralysed and 

lucky not to be getting surgery. 

I think it depends on how you 

break it. 

Do you view your life 

differently now having gone 

through this experience? 

I definitely have a lot of respect 

for people who are paralysed or 

have a disability that affects them 

from doing different things. I can 

just see how frustrating it must be 

for them to go through that. 

Have you stayed in touch 

with the others injured in the 

Leeston crash last year? 

A few of them I go to school 

with. I have been out to Leeston 

with dad when I couldn’t race 

and then I have been out there 

since the crash and seen them 

all. A few of them did the race 

as well. I saw them there. I am 

pretty sure everyone is all good 

now. 

You haven’t been put off 

cycling. 

Definitely not. 

What are your goals as a 

cyclist? 

I am in my third year in 

cycling. I haven’t got too many 

expectations. I will see how this 

year goes. I think it would be 

really cool to represent New 

Zealand in a time trial event 

because I enjoy doing the time 

trials. 

Ange brought her favourite 

orange lights to us. 

So we worked with her to build a 

colour palette around them.

hospital helipad off the ground 

I enjoy how it is really social and 

being able to see improvements and 

your training paying off. 

Are you mainly a road cyclist? 

I don’t do mountain biking. I pretty 

much just do road cycling. I got 

taken out of track season this year 

because of my back and last year 

I got taken out because of my hip 

because I crashed on the track last 

season. 

That was last season at the Denton 

Park Velodrome and I landed on my 

hip. They thought I had broken my 

pelvis. 

Do you have a favourite place to 

cycle? 

Probably my favourite ride is the 

Forrest Graperide in Blenheim. 

It is very scenic and all the people 

are really nice. It is just a really fun 

bike ride. 

What has it been like seeing 

yourself on billboards as one of the 

faces of the ‘13 minute’ campaign? 

It is a bit embarrassing because 

my bus goes past it and the kids 

recognise me. But I mean it is a once 

in a lifetime thing. 

What have your friends and 

family said about you taking part 

in the campaign? 

They think it is pretty cool. They 

have supported me through it, seeing 

all the good and bad times. 

What are you planning to do 

when you leave school? 

I want to see where I go with 

cycling in under-20s and then I will 

see if I am good enough to make it 

to the Commonwealth Games. For 

a job, I want to do something in the 

food industry. I’m not too sure yet. 

I want to see where under-20s goes. 

You can race under-20s for school 

nationals.

Call to continue with liquor ban 

A TEMPORARY liquor ban 

in Linwood Village has been 

labelled a success by those in the 

area. 

Now calls are mounting for it 

to be made permanent. 

At the end of December, the 

city council introduced a sixmonth 

liquor ban for area in 

response to calls from businesses 

and police, it is investigating the 

possibility of it being permanent. 

Constable 

Conal Ross said 

he has noticed 

a “significant” 

decrease in 

people drinking 

alcohol 

in the area – 

though he has 

only handed 

out three warnings since it was 

introduced. 

“I often talk to the shopkeepers 

and they’ve noticed a significant 

decrease in problems related to 

alcohol . . . they’re more willing 

and wanting to come into this 

area now,” he said. 

Local business owners who did 

not want to be named told The 

Star they are very happy with 

the ban and there is noticeable 

improvement in the area. 

But Constable Ross said the 

ban is only the first step in

addressing a number of social 

problems in the area. 

“We’ve noticed problems 

stemming significantly from 

drug and alcohol addictions and 

combined with mental health. 

It’s certainly not a quick fix but 

police have found it’s a good 

start.” 

Homeless man Marcus also 

supports a permanent restriction. 

He said since it was introduced 

the community has refound its 

spirit. 

“I’ve been living on the streets 

in this area for a very long time 

and it was it was a real mess . . . 

but since the liquor ban has come 

into this area, a lot of people are 

coming back.” 

“Community spirit starting 

to come back into the area, so I 

don’t think any council in their 

right mind should to take away 

the liquor ban in this area,” 

Marcus said. 

Central Ward city councillor 

Deon Swiggs said alcohol was 

a catalyst for other anti-social 

behaviour, so the ban was a good

in the area. 

“From what I’m hearing on 

the streets and from what I’m 

hearing from the business owners 

that the alcohol ban and 

people not drinking on the street 

is actually had an impact and 

making people feel a lot more 

comfortable coming to this area,” 

Cr Swiggs said. 

Te Whare Roimata community 

worker Jenny Smith said the 

problem has been pushed indoors 

and outside the ban area. 

“It’s a complex, difficult challenging 

issue and there’s no quick 

fix solutions . . . it’s not going to 

happen overnight,” she said. 

But Te Whare Roimata does 

not have position on the ban. 

Instead it is leading the Linwood 

Revitalisation Plan to develop 

long term solutions to the “complex” 

issues in the village.

More closures 

loom for 

Lyttelton Tunnel 

WORK ON the Lyttelton Tunnel 

safety upgrade will require up to 

15 overnight closures from June 

onwards. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency says installation of a $28.7 

million fire protection system is 

ramping up, with a planned December 

completion on the horizon. 

Emergency services will have 

full access through the tunnel 

at all times and community and 

tunnel users will be given at least 

three weeks notice prior to the full 

closures, the NZTA said. 

The new deluge fire suppression 

system is designed to contain 

a fire until emergency services 

reach the scene. 

A large reservoir is being built 

to supply water for the system. 

And some earthquake strengthening 

of the tunnel portal buildings 

will be carried out, along 

with communication upgrades. 

These include a new public address 

system to broadcast safety 

instructions in an emergency.

What’s more important: A teacher who plays by the 

rules or a teacher who gets the job done? 

Laurie Connor (Barry Tomkinson) has been 

teaching PE at Hautapu High for as long as 

anyone cares to remember. He is the definition 

of “old school” and he has no time for political 

correctness. If the curriculum gets in the way 

of him doing his job, the curriculum loses. 

BUT, the kids love him. 

The ambitious new principal, Viv Cleaver 

(Pip Stevens), has “some issues” with him. 

“Cleavage”, as Laurie calls her, has been 

brought in to clean house and raise the 

prospects of Decile 2 Hautapu High and Laurie 

doesn’t fit with her vision of the future. 

Pat Kennedy (Regan Harding) is a former 

pupil of Laurie’s who has returned to teach 

at Hautapu High. He could do a lot better for 

himself but he is happy to just coast along as 

Laurie’s assistant. 

Enter Annie Tupua (Libby Wilson), a Maori 

student teacher who just also happens to be a 

superb sports person on the verge of selection 

for the Silver Ferns. 

Viv sees an opportunity, Laurie sees more 

work, and Pat sees a vision of loveliness. 

The fact that Annie is a born-again Christian 

and a devout member of the Redemption 

Church makes life interesting for all. 

Sparks fly, team dynamics shift, the whistle is 

blown and the audience are the winners! 

This funny and feel-good play is the perfect 

start to Riccarton Players 2018 season and

The Star’s call for 

Megan Woods and other 

Christchurch Government 

MPs to move faster to solve 

the disgraceful hospital 

park and ride situation 

David Collins – Parking 

for Christchurch Hospital has 

been an ongoing problem now 

for more than seven years ever 

since the hospital multi-story car 

park building was closed due to 

earthquake damage. 

This is a problem for hospital 

patients, visitors and for staff. 

While there is quite a good bus 

service to the hospital, which 

may help visitors to the hospital, 

this does not help the staff, who 

are either starting at 6.30am for 

the morning shift, or finishing 

at 11.30pm from the afternoon 

shift. 

Changing buses through the 

bus exchange isn’t an option at 

those times, so the staff have to 

drive to work, then have to compete 

with contractors working 

on all the new buildings going 

on around that area. Plus the few 

on-street parking spaces close to 

the hospital are being removed 

to make way for cycle lanes etc in 

an attempt to encourage people 

to cycle to work. Would you 

want to work eight to 9 hours 

– often working through meal 

breaks due to heavy patient loads 

and then have to cycle 10km

home in the dark in the rain, in 

the middle of winter, and possibly 

contend with drunk drivers? 

Staff are finding they are having 

to park further and further 

away from the hospital and there 

have been instances of staff being 

attacked in the park as they 

walk back to their cars. Imagine 

how much worse parking will be 

when the metro sports complex 

gets built (removing most of the 

staff afternoon car park by the 

old brewery site) with morning 

shift staff then having to fight for 

parking with the gym bunnies 

calling in for their pre-work 

workouts. What has been needed 

is for the old multi-story car 

park to be rebuilt and this is 

something that has been talked 

about for several years now. In in 

the meantime, using one of the 

new car park buildings in town 

and running the shuttle bus 

from there, which would have 

smoother surfaces and a covered 

area to wait for the shuttle. It is 

time to stop talking about the 

problem and time to start fixing 

the problem. 

Ann Mason – The parking 

should have been sorted before 

the building started and that was 

under National. Miracles were 

not expected of National so why 

should they be for Labour. Nine 

years v six months. Get real. 

Marilyn-Richard Hore – I 

am a parent of a cancer kid. I 

can’t use this as she would be 

at risk of infection before you 

consider the condition of the 

grounds and she uses crutches 

on a good day and a wheelchair 

on bad. I 

always leave 

an hour 

before time 

to go into the 

hospital and 

walk miles. I’m 

not looking 

forward to 

winter. Come 

on CDHB, 

council, Government, 

we 

need help now. 

Debbie Costello – The 

parking at Christchurch Hospital 

has always been unbelievably 

bad. My daughter is now 29 and 

when she was born we had to 

go there regularly. No point in 

blaming any political party. Just 

wonder who the idiots are that 

plan a hospital and keep on expanding 

it but don’t give a toss 

about parking. I love trees but 

time has come to cut a few down 

right beside the hospital and put 

up a multi-storey car park. Think 

before you comment because this 

has been going on for years. It’s 

not just an earthquake problem. 

It’s stupid town planning. 

Alistair Price – I suggested to 

the powers that be last year that a 

hospital shuttle should run from 

the bus exchange to the hospital. 

Those that required hospital 

care or visiting could bus into 

the exchange or drive in and 

use the car park 

buildings. The 

idea was basically 

rubbished by the 

decision-makers 

as there are three 

buses which pass 

the hospital from 

the exchange. I 

still think it is a 

simple solution 

to a disgraceful 

problem. 

Ross Andrew – There is a 

nice pristine council car-park 

building in Lichfield St, which 

is reported to be pretty well 

empty most of the time. Unlike 

that poor excuse for a car-park 

currently used, it is undercover 

and is closer for those who want 

to walk. 

But I know it would never 

work, it is commonsense and the 

CDHB and city council (there for 

the people) might have to talk to 

each other.

Christine Schuler – As 

someone who had to use the 

park and ride every day for 

almost a month last winter, I 

shudder at the thought of ever 

needing to use it again. It was an 

absolute nightmare and made a 

very difficult and stressful time 

even worse. 

Beverly Jackson – Put 

a temporary car park in the 

hospital corner of Hagley Park. 

Nothing has to be cut down 

and it can be removed when the 

problem is sorted. 

Betty Wright – We use this 

parking regularly and are not 

looking forward to winter. The 

council has a parking building 

sitting half empty in Lichfield St; 

why are the hospital and council 

not working together and using a 

couple empty floors for the park 

and ride? Priorities are building 

infrastructure, not stupid 

cycleways. That money would 

have built a parking building. 

Council and health board get real. 

Caroline Stevenson – I 

have used the park and ride 

on many occasions when my 

late husband and mum were in 

hospital. It is a great service but 

the state of the grounds now is 

disgusting. Lack of shelter needs 

to be addressed urgently. I can 

only imagine the quagmire it 

will become once the winter 

weather sets in. The landowner 

DIFFICULT: Pooling at the park and ride last week before workers moved in to fix some of the 

problems. 


should be made by the council 

to bring the grounds up to a safe 

and reasonable standard. 

Dinah Jane Geda – An 

embarrassment to the city. This 

unkempt, unsafe, water-logged 

area should be repaired pronto. 

It will only get worse. Workers, 

patients and visitors should have a 

dignified place to park their cars. 

Therefore decent shelter needs 

to be provided to accommodate 

the increased demand! Unwell, 

disabled citizens and their 

carers should not have to sustain 

rain, snow and icy wind while 

awaiting transport. Please 

improve. The surface repair was 

a step in the right direction.. 

Maryellen Robinson 

– The parking for the hospital 

is pathetic in a city as big such 

as Christchurch. The parking 

needs to be sorted and council 

needs to sort priorities out. As 

a solo mum and not being able 

to park close to the hospital 

when my child goes to accident 

and emergency is a joke. Need 

to park miles away and walk 

carrying a sick or injured child. 

For people who are sick or 

disabled, the parking is so not 

good enough and the shuttle 

doesn’t carry enough people in 

one trip. If you find a park close 

then you pay a fortune, but the 

machines only take credit card 

or coins but not debit cards. As 

we are not originally from 

Christchurch, parking for the 

hospital here is a joke. My dad 

is currently in the intensive care 

unit and has been for a month 

and daily visits to hospital take 

an hour just to get a car park and 

walk to the hospital. 

Tiffany Cavanaugh – 

Thanks for all the bad publicity 

you’ve been giving it. Well 

done to the only newspaper in 

Christchurch that cares about 

the people.

Twyford meeting 

‘extremely constructive’ 

LAST Friday 

we had our first 

formal meeting 

as a city council 

with Hon Phil 

Twyford, Minister 

for Transport, 

Housing and 

Urban Development. It was 

enormously constructive and 

I believe this term will see 

advances in both housing and 

transport, the like of which we 

haven’t seen for years. 

I congratulated the minister 

on the changes signalled in 

the new Government policy 

statement for land transport, 

with its emphasis on safety, 

public and active transport, 

sustainability and value for 

money. 

ALL POLITICIANS have good 

intentions. 

We are all drawn to the 

job because we want to 

make a difference in our 

communities. 

And we develop new policies 

that we think will make life 

better for New Zealanders. 

But good intentions are 

not enough when it comes to 

delivering on our policies. An 

election promise is self-imposed 

and must be costed and well 

thought out. 

If not, it is hard for that policy 

to be delivered as promised 

and risks looking like political 

posturing as opposed to a 

genuine effort to help. 

We are seeing this happen to 

the Ardern-Peters’ Government 

as its promises start to look 

more like political posturing. 

After opposing the TPPA, 

they have now implemented a 

near identical deal. 

Lianne Dalziel 

We are clearly travelling 

in the same direction. Our 

interests are fully aligned. We 

both believe all people should 

have access to housing that is 

secure, safe, affordable, warm 

and dry. The Government 

has ambitious building targets 

when it comes to social and 

affordable housing, as do we. 

And we both understand the 

criticality of transport links and 

the need for modal shift from 

single occupancy vehicles to 

public transport, walking and 

After criticising our 

immigration numbers, they 

have kept immigration levels 

the same in spite of a promised 

cut of 20,000 to 30,000 people 

a year. 

In Christchurch, their 

long-running protest about 

commissioners at ECan and 

promise to hold elections 

immediately has been scrapped 

in favour of maintaining 

National’s plan to have full 

elections in 2019. 

Again, the promise of a $300 

million fund to speed up the 

rebuild and be “on the table and 

ready to be accessed” is now 

subject to a budget bid and the 

uncertainty that goes with that. 

cycling. We need to make it 

easy for people to do that. 

In terms of housing, the 

Government has set ambitious 

targets for building affordable 

homes. 

We are very keen to partner 

with them and the private 

sector to achieve great outcomes 

for our city. 

I have reinforced with the 

minister the challenges we 

face with the current public 

transport operating model, 

both in terms of funding and 

contracting for bus routes. 

Securing transport corridors 

is key to a modern public 

transport system that gets 

people to where they need to be 

faster and more conveniently 

than a car. 

Good intentions not enough 

Nicky Wagner 

I do not doubt for a moment 

the sincerity of the Prime 

Minister or the Minister 

for Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration. They have the 

good intentions. We all do. 

But as they continue to 

backtrack on the policies they 

promised during the campaign, 

or weaken the surety of their 

commitments, their promises 

look more and more like 

political posturing. 

Good intentions are not 

enough, people voted for those 

policies and those promises 

must now be kept.

Central 

Plan to help those 

in EQC limbo 

IT HAS emerged in recent days 

that here are 664 families stuck 

in a special type of EQC limbo 

– people who have purchased 

a home that they knew had 

EQC repairs, only to find that 

those repairs were botched and 

botched so badly it pushed them 

over EQC’s cap, and now their 

insurance company won’t pay the 

difference. 

It’s a heart-wrenching situation 

for people to be stuck in. Often 

these are people who have done 

everything right, they’ve got 

builders’ reports and they’ve 

inspected the house closely. But 

now they’re trapped and their 

most valuable asset will cost 

hundreds of thousands of dollars 

to repair. 

THis is a real mess and it’s one 

the previous Government should 

have taken action on years ago. 

The first legal case on this issue 

was lodged in May 2016, and 

EQC has always known this 

was going to be an issue when 

repaired homes started to be sold. 

Yet when our Government took 

over, nothing had been done. 

Combined with the wider issue 

of re-repairs and the $270 million 

bill to taxpayer to put them right, 

it seems to me there was wilful 

ignorance about how badly 

repairs had been botched and 

what it would mean for people. 

We have a plan to fix this issue 

though and get people out of 

limbo and able to move on with 

their lives. The Government will 

be looking to fund test cases to 

clarify the law and clear up who 

needs to pay. 

THat will mean the people in 

these awful situations can get 

their homes repaired and have 

a sense of hope and optimism 

about the future again. 

I’ve also asked for urgent advice 

from EQC on the potential 

liability to the taxpayer if it was 

found that EQC was liable for 

putting this right. It’s important 

we know what this could cost so 

we can plan for it effectively.

The recent trade conflicts between US 

and China have aroused worries that the 

unilateral protectionist measures of US 

government might incur trade wars between 

the largest two economies and hence impede 

the global economic recovery and growth 

still overshadowed by the financial crisis 

originated from Wall Street ten years ago. 

While certain major advanced economies 

resorted to isolationism and protectionism, 

China has made new pledges to open its door wider. The Boao Forum, also 

known as the “Asian Davos”, recently convened in Hainnan Province of China, 

has boosted the confidence in global economic cooperation as Chinese President 

Xi Jinping in his key-note speech announced substantial measures to further 

expand China’s economic reform and opening-up. 

China’s pledges have been warmly applauded by international stakeholders as 

good news in the face of anti-globalization sentiment. Though the unveiling of 

these pledges have little to do with the ongoing trade conflicts with the US, it 

reflects China’s consistent determination to push forward trade and investment 

facilitation and seek win-win outcomes with other countries. 

The new measures touch upon several key aspects. First, China will significantly 

broaden market access. It will ease restrictions on the establishment of foreign 

financial institutions in China, accelerate the opening-up of its insurance 

industry, and reduce limits on foreign investment in manufacturing industries. 

Second, China will reduce tariffs and expand imports. China will significantly 

lower the import tariffs for vehicles and some other products. On the other hand, 

it is hoped that the imposed restrictions on normal trade of high-tech products 

with China could be lifted. Third, China will strengthen IPR protection. China 

is re-instituting the State Intellectual Property Office to step up law enforcement 

and significantly raise the cost for offenders. Fourth, China is committed 

to create more attractive investment environment for foreign investors. The 

government will remove obstacles that prevent the market from playing a 

decisive role in resource allocation. It will complete the revision of the negative 

list on foreign investment in the first half of the year and implement across the 

board the management system based on pre-establishment national treatment 

and negative list. These measures expected to be implemented soon will inspire 

confidence in China’s continued economic growth as well as injecting new 

driving force for global economy. 

It is worth noting that Hainan Province, the venue of the annual forum, which is 

famous for its sunny beach resorts nowadays, used to be one of the most remote 

and backward parts of China. The province owes its economic miracle to reform 

and opening-up. The island was established as a Special Economic Zone 30 

years ago, and has now become one of China’s many portals to the wider world. 

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the launching of reform and openingup 

policy in China. The policy has fundamentally changed China, and the 

experience China has learnt from its 40 years of phenomenal economic rise is to 

keep open-minded and embrace the world. In the global village where interests 

of different countries are increasingly intertwined, open systems are the best 

course of action. 

The economic cooperation between China and New Zealand has fully 

demonstrated the benefits of trade and investment facilitation. The two 

economies are highly complementary to each other and free trade has brought 

the comparative advantages into full play. The bilateral trade volume has 

increased from 1.7 million NZ dollars in 1972 to more than 24 billion last year, 

bringing tangible benefits to enterprises and consumers in both countries. 

And the negotiation on upgrading bilateral trade agreement has so far kept 

good momentum. Both countries also firmly support the multi-trading system 

symbolized by WTO, and have reinforced cooperation in APEC and other 

multilateral frameworks. As globalization is inevitable and irreversible, the 

only future for all countries and peoples on this planet is a shared one. To build 

a world of greater prosperity is a collective task that demands the input and 

responsibility of all global stakeholders.

Best pies at Bernie’s Diner in New South Wales 

• By Mike Yardley 

A COAST and highlands selfdrive 

combo is a winning formula 

for a blissful roadie from Sydney. 

Pulling out of Kiama, I ventured 

west on Tourist Drive 9 to 

Robertson, a stirringly picturesque 

driving route that winds 

through lush and rolling hills and 

dales, criss-crossed with quaint 

leafy lanes, on its steady climb 

into the Highlands. 

Rolling through such a bucolic 

escape-hatch from the rat race, 

I was struck by the hundreds 

of dry stone walls that lace the 

landscape, interwoven into the 

dreamy tapestry of pastoral 

greens. Had a leprechaun spirited 

me away to Ireland? 

It turns out that many of the 

walls were constructed in the 

19th-century and have stood the 

test of time. If you’ve done some 

pre-trip planning, you’ll soon 

discover there are a plethora of 

delightful detours and stopovers 

along the way. 

Jamberoo is a charming village 

en-route, with an Insta-worthy 

Tudor-style historic inn lording 

over the main street. Heading up 

Jamberoo Mountain Rd, I took 

the short diversion to Minnamurra 

Rainforest, a rare remnant 

of temperate rainforest thronging 

with ancient fig trees, rock 

orchids and elkhorns. 

A sense of serenity washed over 

me as I strolled up the path to 

clap eyes on the sublime Minnamurra 

Falls, gracefully tumbling 

over the canyon’s cliff edge. 

Back in the car, I purred through 

the forest-draped mountain road 

to reach Robertson, famous as the 

town where the BABE film was 

made. 

They’re also very proud of 

their potatoes, Robo Spuds. Like 

all towns and villages across 

the Southern Highlands, I soon 

discovered they are particularly 

parochial about their prowess in 

pies. 

With more pie outlets per 

square km than anywhere else in 

Australia, the region has crafted a 

dedicated Pie Trail, with scores of 

outlets touting their hero product. 

June is prime “Pie Time” when 

an annual festival is staged on 

the back of the latest pie judging 

results. Robertson Pie Shop is a 

proven performer, if you’re feeling 

peckish. 

From Robertson, I took Tourist 

Drive 15, to layover at Fitzroy 

Falls, en-route to Moss Vale. The

1¼ kg beef, bolar 

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

3½ Tbsp horseradish, grated 

from a jar 

6 rashers streaky bacon, rindless 

3 Tbsp olive oil 

3 Tbsp plain flour 

700g carrots 

¾ cup red wine 

½ cup beef stock, choose a good 

quality one 

Directions 

TURMERIC, PUMPKIN AND 

POTATO CURRY 

Ingredients 

750g pumpkin 

750g potatoes 

2 Tbsp oil 

1 red chilli 

1 red onion 

1 piece fresh ginger 

2 garlic cloves 

1 tsp ground coriander 

1 tsp turmeric 

1 tsp cumin 

3 Tbsp fish sauce 

1 Tbsp brown sugar 

2 tsp lemongrass 

800 ml coconut milk 

1 Tbsp lemon juice 

1 Tbsp tomato paste 

1 to garnish coriander 

Directions 

Heat oil in a large saucepan and 

gently cook chilli, onion, ginger 

(grated) and garlic for 5min. 

Add coriander, turmeric and 

cumin and stir for 1min. 

Add fish sauce, brown sugar, 

lemongrass, coconut milk, lemon 

juice, tomato paste, pumpkin and 

potatoes. Bring to the boil and 

simmer until potatoes are just 

tender. 

Serve with rice and garnished 

with coriander leaves. 

Preheat the oven to 200 deg 

C. Lightly oil a roasting pan 

just large enough to hold the 

prepared bolar and carrots. 

Wipe the meat dry with paper 

towels. Rub with the crushed 

garlic and sprinkle with black 

pepper. Spread the horseradish 

evenly over the meat. Overlap 

the rashers of bacon evenly over 

the top so the horseradish is 

covered. Place in the roasting 

pan. Drizzle bolar and carrots 

with the remaining oil. Place the 

flour in one corner of the pan to 

brown during cooking. 

Roast for 10min then cover 

loosely with foil and reduce 

the temperature to 160 deg C. 

Continue roasting for two hours 

removing the foil during the last 

15min of cooking. 

Place the meat and carrots on 

a warm serving dish. Cover with 

foil and rest for 10-15min. 

Meanwhile, place the wine 

and stock in the pan. Whisk 

together with the flour. Simmer, 

stirring, until thickened. Add 

a little extra horseradish, if 

preferred.

Now 



Autumn is a time for maintenance 


PROLONGING LIFE: It’s now time to dead-head roses and get lawn seed in the soil. 

DAYS ARE becoming shorter, 

temperatures are dropping and 

leaves are beginning to turn, all 

signs autumn is well under way. 

It’s a busy time in the garden 

with plenty of tasks that need 

doing before winter sets in – but 

be sure to take time to stop and 

admire the beautiful colours the 

season brings. 

In the vege patch 

•If you haven’t prepared your 

winter vegetable garden for winter, 

then get it under way. Add in 

plenty of compost to the existing 

soil and blood and bone as a base 

fertiliser. To stop winter veges 

from getting water logged, ensure 

you slightly raise the area you are 

planting in so water can drain 

easily. 

•By planting winter vegetables 

now, they will have enough time 

to become well established before 

the onset of the cold, wet, winter 

weather. You can sow your own 

seeds into seed trays indoors or 

directly into the garden, depending 

on the vegetable. Veges to 

plant in April include broad 

beans, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, 

cauliflower, lettuce (all types), onions, 

peas, radish, spinach, swedes 

and turnips. Always stagger your 

plantings (every two to three 

weeks) so that all of your vegetables 

do not mature at the same 

time and instead provide crops 

throughout the season. If space 

is an issue, many varieties can be 

grown in pots or containers – just 

be sure to use good quality potting 

mix. 

Flower garden 

•Summer displays are almost 

finished, so keep dead-heading 

those blooms you wish to prolong. 

Winter flowering annuals 

brighten up even the dreariest of 

winters. Start planting out now, 

but ensure you prepare the soil 

The magazine for 

gardeners who 

like To geT Their 

hands dirTy 

www.gardener.kiwi 

100% 

well beforehand, as per above. 

Winter annuals include alyssum, 

aquilegia, calendulas, cineraria, 

cornflowers, lobelia, nemesia, 

pansy, lupins (South Island) snapdragons, 

status, stock, sweet peas, 

sweet william and violas. 

Bulbs 

•Although main bulb planting 

months are usually February and 

March, it is still possible to plant 

in early April, especially as garden 

centres often have great deals to 

clear stock. Bulbs grow best in 

an open, sunny position in well 

drained, fertile soil. Add compost 

to lighten ‘heavy’ soil if this is an 

issue. Plant bulbs in clusters for 

a more pronounced flowering 

effect. Remember to label where 

you plant your new bulbs so that 

you do not forget and accidentally 

dig them up. 

Roses 

•The autumn display of many 

roses can be quite spectacular 

after the hot dry months of 

summer. If you provide a little 

TLC, some varieties like iceberg 

will continue flowering through 

till July in warmer areas of the 

country. Remove any dead flowers 

and fallen leaves as they will 

no doubt contain black spot and 

rust. Apply compost and a light 

dressing of rose fertiliser around 

your rose bushes to improve the 

organic matter in the soil and 

help suppress weeds which tend 

to almost pop up overnight this 

time of year. 

Lovely lawns 

•April is a safe month for 

sowing a new lawn or renovating/repairing 

an existing one. 

For new lawns, success relies on 

thorough preparation. If bringing 

new topsoil on to your property, 

make sure it is good quality as 

new weeds can be brought in with 

imported topsoil. Ensure you new 

lawn is well drained, considering 

wet winter months. Check you 

have the correct grass variety for 

your site and if you are unsure, 

talk to local experts at your garden 

centre for advice. Sow seed 

evenly and be prepared to oversow 

in a few weeks’ time where 

the germination of the grass seed 

has been patchy. 

•With existing lawns, apply 

fertiliser now and water it thoroughly 

after application. Mow 

regularly to help develop a strong 

thatch.

people notice so why not take the time 

to try on different frames and ensure you 

choose something that looks amazing and 

fits comfortably? We will help you find the 

best frame for you. 

Our comprehensive eye exams include

issues early to allow for the best possible 

prognosis. 

We can help you with stylish prescription 

sunglasses for the upcoming summer 

months as well as the polarized Chemistrie

Since the Challenge network of 

service stations opened its doors 

(and pumps) to the SuperGold Card, 

more and more SuperGold Card users 

have found that cheaper fuel and 

old-fashioned service are a recipe for 

success. 

A regular to Christchurch’s 

Challenge Tai Tapu, SuperGold Card 

user Peter Kyle says while the savings 

that the SuperGold Card provides 

are quite significant, it is Challenge’s 

service and people that keep him 

coming back. 

“I am a resident of Tai Tapu and a 

holder of a SuperGold Card, which I 

can use at my local Challenge service 

station. When presenting the card the 

staff are very obliging and happy to 

make the transaction – I can’t fault it,” 

he says. 

Challenge is delighted to be able 

to give more back to New Zealand’s 

golden residents. Challenge is 100 

percent Kiwi owned and has 85 

service stations nationwide, each 

unique in their own special way and a 

reflection of the community it resides 

in. Challenge’s motto is “local and 

loyal” – not just in ownership but the 

traditional way of doing things, with a 

greeting and a smile. 

Selected Challenge service stations 

are currently offering SuperGold Card 

users 10 cents per litre off their 

fuel purchase. Head into your local 

Challenge service station to find out

The value of the Gold Card 

The SuperGold Card is a discounts and 

concessions card for seniors and veterans, 

in recognition of their contribution to New 

Zealand society. 

What you receive by being a SuperGold 

Card member: 

• discounts and offers from more than 

8,900 businesses and more than 13,700 

outlets nationwide 

• government concessions (including free 

off-peak public transport) 

• discounted services from your local 

councils 

The SuperGold Card offers a connection 

to people who become new friends as well 

as a trusted resource for information about 

life’s daily questions. 

The website is located at https://www. 

supergold.govt.nz/ for an application or to 

sign up for their newsletter. Their website 

it a tremendous resource which provides 

answers for topics of interest or concern. 

Their monthly newsletter offers 

information about important topics. 

This month mentions that the shingles 

immunisation has been added to the 

National Immunisation 

Schedule and will be free for 

people aged 65 from 1 April 

this year. Under the changes the 

shingles immunisation will also 

be free for the next two years for 

people aged 66 to 80. 

Every year one in three people 

aged 65 and older will have a 

fall. For those aged 80 and over, 

the risk increases to one in two 

people. But a new movement has 

been launched to help people 

over 65 stay healthy, active and 

independent. ‘Live Stronger 

for Longer’ is an initiative by 

government agencies and health providers 

across New Zealand aimed specifically 

at people over 65. The aim is to provide 

people practical advice – whether they’re 

still working, recently retired, or happily 

enjoying retirement. Falls prevention is key 

and regular exercise is one of the best things 

you can do to help reduce the risk of falls. 

And you don’t have to do it alone. The ‘Live 

Stronger for Longer’ website has links to 

local groups who run strength and balance 

classes. All the classes are designed to 

support Seniors to build their leg and core 

strength and improve their balance. There’s 

something for everyone, from Pilates, tai 

chi, chair yoga and light circuit classes. 

Find out if there’s a class in your area and 

look for the approved quality tick logo. This 

ensures that the class has been approved 

as safe and effective for older people. For 

more information, go to www.livestronger. 

org.nz. Plan ahead Falls can happen at any 

time. 

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin 

mentions the growing problem of social 

isolation for older people. It comes after 

new research shows that one in five frail 

elderly New Zealanders identify as lonely. 

Loneliness has become a bit of a public 

issue recently, although people generally 

think of it as a problem for senior New 

Zealanders, actually it isn’t. Loneliness 

actually decreases as people get older (11.3% 

of people aged 48-59 felt lonely, compared 

to 6.6% aged 79-90). But loneliness (a lack 

of quality and closeness in relationships) 

and isolation (where people simply don’t 

have relationships) are still major issues for 

older people and the SuperGold Card has 

some solutions which can be read online at 

their website.

School open DayS 

Middleton Grange 

School 

Formation is at the heart of the education 

Middleton Grange School provides – a 

whole of life formation. We see learning as 

holistic; it aims to instruct the mind, shape 

the heart and equip the hand. The root of 

formation is faith and so Middleton Grange 

not only provides a first rate general education 

but also biblically based teaching in the 

Christian faith. 

Formation of the mind is not primarily 

intellectual contemplation or conceptual 

mastery but a learning that nurtures wisdom 

and discernment. It is a learning that 

challenges the mind to think, discern and 

critique the ideas and theories pupils are 

exposed to from a Christian perspective. 

Middleton Grange’s learning culture allows 

the formation of the heart so that it shapes 

the character of each pupil to develop habits 

of righteousness, compassion and integrity. 

This formation of the mind and heart generates 

responsiveness. We want our pupils to 

engage in the society they live in, to be of 

benefit and blessing in a practical way. 

For Middleton Grange School, while our 

academic results are of the highest level, 

what is highly prized, is that our pupils 

exercise wisdom, serve the community and 

promote the well-being of others. It is about 

forming the pupil to be the person God created 

them to be. 

All of this is summed up in the school 

motto: Character, Excellence, Service for the 

Glory of God. 

Richard Vanderpyl, Principal 

Christian Integrated 

Schools 

Working together for the good of students 

and families has been a successful recipe 

for Christian Integrated Schools in Christchurch. 

The Christian School Network has been 

in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield 

Christian School, Emmanuel Christian 

School, Hillview Christian School and 

Middleton Grange School decided in 2005 

that there was much to be gained by working 

together cooperatively. They recognised 

opportunities to share successful teaching 

practice, curriculum development initiatives 

across a wide spectrum of school operations 

as well as cooperatively strengthening their 

special Christian Character. They recognised 

that their ability to serve students and 

families was greatly enhanced by working 

together in a close and trusting relationship. 

The success of the network has seen other 

schools wanting to join in. Early in the piece 

Rangiora New Life School became part of 

the network. The schools joined together to 

support the genesis of Ashburton Christian 

School and also culminated in the start up of 

a brand new school in Rolleston in 2015. 

The schools have developed interlocking 

enrolment schools which assists in providing 

transparent pathways in Christian education 

from new entrant through to Year 13. 

A further strength has been a cooperative 

engagement with the Ministry of Education 

who have been pivotal in assisting the 

networks successful development.

Ultimate campus 

taking shape at QEII 

Park 

Sue and John. 



Construction of the new state-of-the-art campus for 

Avonside Girls’ and Shirley Boys’ high schools is progressing 

rapidly with opening on track for next year. 

The new campus will feature a Performing Arts Centre 

with a 750-seat theatre and a 200-seat theatre, a hockey turf, 

four sports fields, three indoor gymnasiums, a café, and a 

large library and learning centre. 

Both Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume and Shirley Boys’ 

High School Headmaster John Laurenson are excited by the 

progress. 

“There are now more than 100 workers on site – that will 

peak to more than 300 in coming months. The steel framing 

is up and the concrete slabs are down and we can see now 

just how big this campus will be – it’s simply wonderful,” says 

John Laurenson. 

“You can finally see all that we have been talking about and 

dreaming about taking shape. We will be onsite with our 

students, staff and community making the most of all of the 

fantastic new facilities before we know it.” 

The campus is due to open in Term Two of 2019. It will be 

the first time in New Zealand’s history that two single sex 

schools will be co-located. 

John Laurenson says the co-location will enable the schools 

to offer students more. 

“Because we’re building together, we’ve been able to build 

bigger and better facilities.” 

Sue Hume says the co-location will also enable better educational 

opportunities. 

AVONSIDE GIRLS’ 

HIGH SCHOOL 

“We’ll collaborate on teaching some senior subjects, so we 

can offer students wider choice and there’s also the opportunity 

to work together on co-curricular opportunities – such 

as productions, sports competitions and the like.” 

Both principals are keen to point out that the co-location is 

not a merger. 

“We’ll still be Shirley and they’ll still be Avonside. We’ll 

work together, but both schools will retain their own culture, 

identity, staff and uniform. This is not a co-ed school,” says 

John Laurenson. 

“Research shows that single sex education benefits both 

boys and girls,” says Sue Hume. “Boys perform better academically 

and girls participate more. This new campus, has 

been designed so that students will still spend most of their 

time in a single sex environment.” 

Both Sue and John say the campus will be an asset the east 

of Christchurch will be proud of. 

“We’ll be right alongside the new QE2 Sport and Recreation 

Centre, the School of Gymnastics and have a satellite 

unit for Ferndale School onsite. It’s going to be a great place 

to learn.” 

OPEN EVENING 

Thursday 24 May 2018 from 5.00pm – 7.00pm 

The evening begins in the gymnasium at 5.00pm, with an 

address from the Principal Mrs Sue Hume, and student 

representatives. A tour of the school follows, with the 

opportunity to talk to teachers and students. 

We look forward to welcoming all prospective students and 

families for 2019.

Burnside High 

School 

Burnside High School is pleased to invite 

members of the community to our Open 

Evening on Tuesday 15 May 2018. 

We are well aware of the significance parents 

place on the transition from Primary or 

Intermediate to Secondary School and how 

important it is to make the right decision 

about this transition. 

Burnside High School is a large secondary 

school, a centre for academic excellence, 

with an outstanding record of academic, 

cultural and sporting success. The size of the 

school ensures that there is an exceptionally 

wide range of subjects and extra-curricular 

opportunities available. This provides flexibility 

for students to follow a pathway suited 

to their ability, interests and skills. 

The unique structure of the school retains 

all the benefits of a large school but with 

students in Divisions of approximately 700. 

This ensures that students are known on 

an individual basis and are supported and 

mentored by senior students, Form Teachers, 

Deans and Guidance Counsellors. This 

strong pastoral and guidance focus helps 

Burnside High School students strive to 

excel and develop into well rounded New 

Zealanders. 

Students achieve well above the level of 

similar schools in the attainment of NCEA 

certificates and endorsements and perform 

to the highest level in a range of local, 

regional and national academic, cultural 

and sporting competitions. The school is renowned 

for its Specialist Music Programme, 

the only such programme in the country. 

The Open Evening offers Year 8 students 

and their families a chance to view the facilities 

and to experience some of the opportunities 

Burnside High School is proud to offer 

its students.

RHS environment 

provides quality 

learning experience 

Riccarton High School believes in creating 

an optimum learning environment that 

embraces the concept of blended learning 

– an approach that combines effective styles 

of traditional teaching and learning with the 

best of what new technologies can provide. 

As principal Neil Haywood explains, 

“This environment enables all our students, 

including those with special learning needs 

and challenges, to fully and equally participate 

in a quality learning experience. It 

includes using our learning environments in 

flexible ways to meet the individual needs of 

our diverse range of students. 

“We have a clear vision of what we are 

aiming to achieve with our students – successful 

young men and women who are 

independent lifelong learners, and who are 

caring, responsible, involved and globally 

connected. 

“Our strength comes from a genuine 

belief in the Riccarton Way-Te Wairua o 

Pῡtaringamotu and its associated values of 

commitment, honesty, respect and excellence. 

This forms the basis of how our 

school community acts, thinks and relates to 

others and operates within a supportive and 

inclusive environment that recognises and 

celebrates diversity.” 

Student voice and community consultation 

play a vital part in the creation of learning 

pathways at Riccarton High School – pathways 

that also develop resiliency, collaboration, 

creativity and communication skills, 

which are essential elements in creating 

well-rounded young men and women, Mr 

Haywood says. 

“Our success in academic, sporting and 

cultural endeavours is a result of our desire 

to support and challenge our students to be 

the best they can be.” 

As Riccarton High School celebrates its 

60th year, planning is underway for some 

redevelopment around the site over the next 

few years as part of the Canterbury Schools 

Rebuild Programme. 

“An information evening will be held on 

Thursday, May 17 at 7pm in the school hall – 

we look forward to seeing you there.”

Selwyn House School 

Selwyn House School offers a world-class 

education with a talented teaching staff and 

small class sizes which are set within a futurefocused, 

nurturing environment. An extensive 

range of educational, sporting and cultural opportunities 

are offered for girls in Years 1 - 8. 

A supportive all-girl learning environment 

encourages girls to take risks without fear 

of failure and develops their love of learning. 

They become confident, compassionate, 

articulate and determined young women who 

have the values, skills, and attributes needed 

to not only achieve their goals but to make a 

difference in their communities. Our teachers 

ensure girls are inspired and committed 

to learning as they develop their unique way 

of learning and achieving. The focus across 

Years 1 - 8 is on the growth of the developing 

girl encompassing intellectual, social, physical, 

emotional, and cultural needs. 

Selwyn House is committed to providing a 

continuum of international education. The 

combination of the International Baccalaureate 

Primary Years Programme (PYP) and our 

future-focused STEAM and Mechatronics 

curriculum ensures girls are equipped to face 

a continually changing world with confidence 

and enthusiasm. We focus on instilling strong 

foundations which can be successfully built 

upon. Core learning in reading, writing and 

mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes 

in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership, 

Mechatronics, Music, Performing Arts, Physical 

Education, Science, Spanish and Swimming 

play key roles to further enhancing learning. 

Selwyn House provides each girl with a personalised 

learning experience. Each classroom 

and specialist teacher has the time to a foster 

meaningful relationships with each student. 

Due to our comprehensive learning environment, 

our girls are highly skilled, stand out 

among their peers and are prepared for a successful 

transition to secondary school. 

Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is 

apparent in all aspects of the school. In our 

modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding 

House, girls are supported by dedicated staff 

and tutors. Girls from across New Zealand 

and internationally fondly call the Boarding 

House their ‘home away from home’ and easily 

form a sisterhood with others. 

We believe in the strength of tradition, the 

promise of the future and the power of education.

Hagley Community 

College 

Kia ora tātou. Welcome to Hagley’s Junior 

Graduating College! 

What’s important at Hagley, a school with a 

160 year old history which makes it nearly as 

old as Christchurch itself? 

Our values matter. Those values are seen in 

the relationships our teachers build with each 

of our students. It’s how we treat our students 

that sets Hagley apart, valuing them as 

individuals – that is the Hagley way. What 

does that mean for our students? They feel that 

teachers are interested in them and care about 

their learning, they feel that they’re experiencing 

success – and much more. 

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different? 

We have a culture like no other. No one 

wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name 

basis. But that’s just for starters. Students come 

to Hagley because they’re treated with respect, 

accepted for who they are as unique individuals. 

They know it’s cool to be different! 

We love our students aiming high and doing 

well. We believe there is no single stereotype 

for success. At Hagley being successful comes 

in many shapes and forms. 

We want you to feel excited about coming 

here. We look forward to you being part of 

Hagley’s 2019 Junior Graduating College!

Christchurch Girls 

High 

St Bede’s College 


Founded in 1877, Christchurch Girls’ High 

School l Te Kura o Hine Waiora benefits 

greatly from 140 years of proud educational 

achievement. This year our Performing Arts 

Centre has added a new dimension to the 

education we are able to offer. Art, Drama 

and Music are finding inspiration inside a 

building that offers light, space and volume 

with purpose built and designed facilities. 

All the programmes at Christchurch Girls’ 

High School are designed with girls in mind. 

We want our students to explore the possibilities 

that are on offer so that when they 

leave school they will have choices and can 

determine their own future and not have it 

predetermined by others. 

We prepare our students by asking them to 

embrace tradition, innovation and excellence 

and to appreciate the importance of each 

in shaping the future. The school values, 

developed by the students themselves, are an 

integral part of the education we offer:

St Bede’s is a Catholic College for boys 

founded by the Society of Mary in 1911 and 

it is also the only Catholic boarding school 

for boys in the South Island. 

Catholic, Marist and Bedean principles and 

values form the basis of a holistic education 

at the College, and our aim is that each boy 

has the best opportunity to become the best 

possible version of the person God created 

them to be. We aim not to make the College 

great but to ensure every boy has the 

opportunity to be great, and we endeavour 

to develop young men of Catholic hearts 

and minds through the experiences the boys 

have in their time here at the College. 

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

gospel values are practised to help form 

principled men; a learning environment 

Tuesday 22nd May 6.30pm

can embrace spiritual, sporting, cultural and 

community activities, which all combined 

shape boys into men. That’s the priority and 

that is in our DNA.

Empowering girls at 

St Margaret’s College 

Choosing the school that is right for your 

daughter is an important decision and one 

which no parent takes lightly. St Margaret’s 

College Open Day offers an insight into a 

unique education for girls from Years 1 to 13, 

and boarding from Year 7. At all levels, the 

emphasis is on learning combined with wellbeing 

and pastoral care. Each year group has a 

programme specifically designed to meet their 

needs ensuring customised learning for every 

girl. At St Margaret’s College we empower the 

girls to become strong, resilient young women 

who relate well to others and have confidence 

and empathy to build lasting relationships. 

We are proud of our girls’ achievement in the 

2017 academic results with 100% pass rates 

in NCEA levels 1 and 2, plus 99% at Level 3 

and 99% in University Entrance. St Margaret’s 

is the only girls’ school in the South Island 

to offer the International Baccalaureate, an 

international course with a global focus which 

challenges and extends students. We also 

offer many opportunities for girls to interact 

with their male counterparts on an academic, 

performing arts, sports and social basis while 

holding on to the best daily learning environment. 

We look forward to welcoming you to experience 

the St Margaret’s College difference at 

our Open Day Friday 11 May from 10:30am 

to 1:00pm. The Principal’s address at 11:45am 

will feature talks from both outgoing Executive 

Principal, Gillian Simpson, and Diana Patchett, 

who will start in the role at the beginning 

of Term 3.

Middle schooling 

makes a difference 

Having a curriculum and learning environment 

designed specifically for learners in the 

“middle years” (Years 7-10) is essential to 

ensure high levels of motivation and engagement 

in learning during these crucial years. 

At Hillmorton High School, having a 

consistent approach without a transition to a 

new school between Year 8 and 9, is proving 

to be positive in terms of accelerating 

student learning within the Middle School. 

We are currently working with our architects 

designing a new Middle School building 

with 22 “General Learning Areas”. These 

areas are flexible and can operate as single 

cell classrooms or be opened up to allow 

more adaptable learning spaces; the best of 

both worlds. This building will not disrupt 

learning as it is being built on the current 

tennis courts. 

This environment fits well with our broad 

Middle School curriculum which allows 

learners to explore and find both their 

strengths and passions. 

The advantage of combining the skills of 

specialist Year 7 and 8 teachers, with the secondary 

subject specialists gives our Middle 

School learners significant advantage. Additionally, 

our “Big Day Out” events and end 

of year student electives allow our young 

people to learn in a range of environments, 



often participating in social action such as 

planting, working with the elderly, along 

with exploring the city, the Art Gallery and 

the university. 

Our Middle School is ensuring real educational 

success and positive future prospects 

as students move into the Senior School for 

Years 11-13.

Linwood College 

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo 

e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta. 

Linwood College has a clear focus – to 

meet the individual needs of every learner 

in a safe, caring environment. Linwood 

learners develop core attributes that will 

ensure their success throughout life. They 

are positive, resilient 

learners who are collaborative 

and communicate 

effectively. Linwood 

learners are critical thinkers 

and creative problem 

solvers. They have the 

strong foundation of 

knowledge, skills and 

attributes required for 

personalised excellence 

and for future success in 

a world in which technological 

change and its attendant social 

impacts are the norm. 

Most importantly, Linwood learners discover 

and realise their academic passions 

and achieve individual excellence for 

personalised learning and career pathways. 

We employ the best teachers who see 

themselves too as life-long learners. Our 

teachers utilise the full range of teaching 

and learning strategies to individualise 

learning and ensure personalised success. 

We have a diverse, vibrant, globally-rich 

culture that creates a stable, connected 

learning and social environment and contributes 

to a richness which reflects New 

Zealand’s current identity and prepares 

our learners to be active global citizens. 

Community connections are integral to 

our school. Linwood College is secondary 

school for both the Tamai 

– Linwood-Woolston – 

and Aupaki – the Bays – 

Kāhui Ako-Communities 

of Learning. These Kāhui 

Ako ensure a seamless 

learning pathway from 

early childhood centres, 

schools and beyond to 

our tertiary and career 

partners. 

We are excited by the 

immediate prospect of a brand new learning 

community. Our school is to be totally 

rebuilt. We will have a purpose-built, 

future-proofed learning environment, with 

educational and sporting facilities to rival 

any secondary school in the country. 

Symbolically this marks a new era for 

Linwood College. I can think of no better 

way to outwardly signal our energy, enthusiasm 

and optimism. 

Richard Edmundson, Principal 


Mairehau High School 

Mairehau High School Year 13 Building 

and Construction students have an exciting 

new project this year that will enable them 

to gain real life skills, while also giving back 

to the school community. Their brief is to 

design, plan and build a large decking behind 

the existing whare. The standards these 

students are assessed in are ITO (Industry 

Training Organisation) standards written 

by industry, for industry; in this case the 

BCITO (Building and Construction ITO). 

Up to 40 Level 3 credits are at stake and can 

be achieved whilst completing the project. 

Mairehau High School has seen a significant 

increase in roll in 2018, highlighting the 

need for the creation of more shared spaces 

around the school. This new outdoor space 

will enhance the function of the school’s 

whare and will have the advantage of the 

LINWOOD COLLEGE 

Haere Mai / Welcome 

school being able to invite the wider community 

for school and social gatherings. It 

will be attached to the existing whare kitchen, 

allowing the school and others to serve 

food when the occasion allows. A special 

feature is of the decking is its unusual shape 

in the form of a native design to enhance the 

look even further. 

Head of Technology Axel Willmer is 

delighted with the enthusiasm his students 

have shown for the project. “The class has 

been really engaged in this initiative from 

the start. They are all enjoying the opportunity 

for hands-on learning and are proud 

to be part of creating an asset that will be 

enjoyed by so many. It’s always great to see 

young adults genuinely loving what they’re 

doing.”

New direction for 

Holden Commodore 

• By Ross Kiddie 

THE MEDIA launch of 

Holden’s Commodore 

would have to be the most 

significant release of a new 

model in this country for 

2018. 

Sadly, I wasn’t there for it. 

I had made prior arrangements 

to be in Melbourne 

for a rock concert which 

happened to fall on the 

same day. 

Nevertheless, I was 

scheduled into one of the 

new models on my home 

patch for two weeks after 

my return, becoming one 

of the first journalists to 

have a home patch drive of 

the exciting new model. 

Of course, Commodore 

is no longer Australian, the 

closing down of all Australian 

new car manufacturing 

took care of that, the new 

model is sourced completely 

built-up from Europe. 

The new Commodore 

lands here with three engine 

variations. Sadly, it is 

now sans V8, but there are 

two 2-litre, four-cylinder 

models, one petrol and one 

diesel, and a 3.6-litre V6 

model with four-wheeldrive. 

The four-cylinder 

units are both turbocharged 

and drive through the front 

wheels only. 

While the drivelines are 

vastly different to what 

Commodore owners have 

previously enjoyed, there 

are both wagon and liftback 

options along with varying 

grade levels. Over time, 

I’m sure I’ll work my way 

through several variants in 

the 12-model line-up, the 

first out of the block was a 

V6 RS-V liftback. 

The new model is everything 

a Commodore owner 

would relate to, it is big car, 

quiet, comfortable and in 

V6 form, very powerful, 

although it took me a while 

to get my head around the 

fact that it is four-wheeldrive 

and the engine sits 

transversely under the 

bonnet, in contrast to its 

predecessor which was a 

longitudinal configuration. 

Developing 235kW 

and 381Nm, the engine is 

strong and delivers with a 

nice sound, it isn’t overbearing, 

but you can tell 

it is an angry, feisty unit 

which likes to work hard. 

Of course, being a large capacity 

V6 it doesn’t have to 

hunt towards the high end 

of the rev band, it is hooked 

to a conventional ninespeed 

automatic transmission 

that works to keep the 

revs low, changing early so 

that fuel use is minimised. 

HOLDEN COMMODORE: Now sourced from Europe. 

On that subject, Holden 

claim an 8.9l/100km 

(32mpg) combined cycle 

average for the V6. 

The driveline is wonderful, 

it is silky smooth in 

all areas and provides that 

large car power that we 

have come to expect from 

the big Aussie battlers 

down under. At open road 

speed, movement is hushed 

and it glides over road ripples 

balanced and poised. 

• Price – Holden 

Commodore RS-V 

liftback, $58,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4897mm; 

width, 1863mm; 

height, 1455mm 

• Configuration – V6, 

four-wheel-drive, 

3649cc, 235kW, 

381Nm, nine-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 

8.9l/100km 

A lot of the latter is due 

to the all-drive system, 

the new Commodore feels 

controlled and tight in the 

chassis. Saying that, the suspension 

is absorbent, the 

spring and damper rates are 

biased towards comfort and 

the in-cabin ride is glorious 

and it’s not often I say that 

about any car on Christchurch 

battered roads. 

I took the test car on my 

favoured route east of the 

Malvern Hills and it cruises 

the high country roads 

beautifully, it could easily 

be mistaken for a further 

development of its Aussie 

predecessor such is its poise 

and level of comfort. 

When pushed into a 

quick corner there is surety 

within the floorpan that 

provides confidence, there 

is a lot of feedback from 

what the tyres are doing in 

relation to the road surface, 

and sitting on high quality, 

sport specification Continental 

rubber (245/45 

x 18in) there is a lot of 

natural grip and directional 

stability on offer. 

Of course, the new Commodore 

is all about replicating 

the large car balance 

we are used to, and it does 

that brilliantly. Not only is 

there a huge area to spread 

around inside, but there is 

huge load space. 

On our Melbourne trip, 

my wife and I were picked 

up from the central city 

and taken to the airport by 

a friend who has recently 

purchased one of the last 

generation Aussie Commodores, 

our two large 

suitcases were difficult to 

load into the boot through 

the narrow opening. Not 

so in the newcomer, the 

same suitcases were easily 

transported. 

In RS-V specification, the 

V6 liftback sits at $58,990, 

that fits well with the last 

of the outgoing models. 

For that money it comes 

with a high degree of 

specification, major items 

include full leather trim 

with heated seats, MyLink 

infotainment network, 

head-up display, paddleshift 

transmission selectors 

and satellite navigation. 

Of course, even though 

it is European sourced the 

new generation Commodore 

qualifies for a five-star 

Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program safety 

rating. 

Even though it is different 

in many areas, General 

Motors has done well to 

make the new Commodore 

feel like what a buyer would 

expect from the nameplate. 

From my first experience, 

I’d go as far as to say it has 

done that well, it feels very 

Commodore-like and is 

a pleasurable drive for all 

occupants. 

Watch this space 

for further drives, I’m 

scheduled into a Calais 

soon and it is my intention 

to further report its 

dynamics in-depth.

Ultimate Warrior returns to face Dragons 

• By Michael Burgess 

THE ULTIMATE Warrior is 

back. 

Simon Mannering is in line 

to start his first NRL game of 

the season after being named 

in the Warriors side to face the 

St George Illawarra Dragons 

on Friday night at Mt Smart 

Stadium. 

Mannering missed the first 

four matches with a shoulder injury 

picked up in the pre-season, 

but has been impressive since his 

return to action in a bench role 

against the Cowboys in round 

five. 

He played 57min against 

North Queensland (70m from 

nine runs and 23 tackles) and 

61min against Brisbane (70m 

from 10 runs, 33 tackles). 

“It felt good to be back out 

there, physically it felt fine,” said 

Mannering, who will make his 

283rd NRL appearance on Friday. 

“I don’t really mind where I 

play; I’ll play wherever is best for 

the team.” 

Mannering’s switch back to the 

edge should also revitalise him, 

after a few years at lock with 

a seemingly endless defensive 

workload. 

Mannering replaces Leivaha 

Pulu, who appeared in the first 

six matches of the season but 

was forced off with a foot injury 

midway through the first half 

last Saturday. Filling Mannering’s 

spot on the interchange is 44- 

game front-rower Albert Vete. 

Vete has been a regular over 

the last three seasons but has 

been consigned to reserve grade 

so far this year. He helped his 

cause with a standout display 

against the Sea Eagles last Saturday, 

with 174m from 15 runs 

including 55 post-contact metres 

with six tackle breaks. 

Aside from Vete, the other 

players on the extended eightman 

bench are utility Jazz 

Tevaga, prop Sam Lisone, centre 

Gelling, prop Chris Satae, halfback 

Mason Lino, second-rower 

Isaiah Papali’i and wing Charnze 

Nicoll-Klokstad. After six consecutive 

Saturday matches, the 

encounter with the Dragons will 

be the first of eight Friday night 

matches the Warriors play this 

season. – NZ Herald

Teenager takes next NRL step 

FORMER ST Thomas of 

Canterbury and Hornby 

Panthers junior Zinzan Martin 

has taken his next step in his 

bid to play in the NRL. 

The 17-year-old scored a hattrick 

of tries for the Western 

Lions against the North Devils 

in the Townsville and Districts 

competition on Saturday. 

Martin, who is on a threeyear 

scholarship with the North 

Queensland Cowboys, was 

scouted by the powerhouse 

league club while competing in 

a schoolboy tournament for St 

Thomas. 

The centre/fullback relocated 

to Townsville, home of the 

Cowboys, at the start of the year 

to further his development in 

the game. 

His hat-trick came against 

no ordinary competition, with 

former St George Illawarra 

Dragons and Cowboys prop 

Ricky Thorby turning out for 

the North Devils, while former 

Cowboy Wayne Ulugia was part 

of Martin’s Lions side. 

Martin is named after Zinzan 

Brooke, who was his father’s 

favourite rugby union player. 

“Funnily enough, dad is a 

rugby league man through and 

through,” said Martin. 

However, Martin also has

rugby union experience. Last 

year he played a key role for 

St Thomas’ first XV, helping 

them to victory in the UC 

Championship plate final 

against Waimea Combined. 

Since relocating to Australia, 

Martin has spent time playing 

for Townsville in the Mal 

Meninga Cup. However, he 

was omitted from Townsville’s 

most recent game, allowing the 

Western Lions to select him. 

Martin insists he didn’t take 

the field with a point to prove 

and thanked to teammates for 

their role in his hat-trick on 

debut. “I’m here in Australia to 

learn as much as I can. Coming 

from New Zealand, it’s not the 

same development system 

there, and I think the Aussie 

way brings a lot more 

progression.” 

Martin has an ability to play 

across the backline and says he 

is “still not sure” where his best 

position is after being selected 

at fullback and centre for 

Townsville.

Li said he was enjoying his 

time in the south and was not 

keeping too much of an eye on 

his old team. 

‘’I am really focused on being 

here and what I can control here. 

I think they [Blues] have just 

been unlucky in the past couple 

of weeks,” Li said. 

‘’They have got some good 

coaches and are working hard.” 

He said playing in Dunedin 

wasn’t much different to Auckland, 

apart from one thing. 

‘’The only thing different is 

this place is not busy. There is no 

traffic here and it is a small little 

town which I quite enjoy. 

‘’Here it takes me 10min to get 

from my home. Up there, it takes 

somewhere between half an hour 

to 45min to get to training from 

my home. 

‘’Auckland is Auckland, big 

city, traffic every day. That is why 

I came down here. 

‘’Just the support from around 

gaRy LawSon 

Horse & Jockey 

here. Everyone buys into one 

team, the Highlanders. The people 

are amazing.’’ 

And playing more makes it 

that much better. ‘’I am enjoying 

it, getting some game time, and 

grateful with the opportunity.’’ 

Li was always known for his 

blinding pace. He scored five tries 

for North Harbour last year in a 

match against Taranaki, equalling 

a record for the most tries in 

a match in the domestic competition.

Good storage ideas are abundant and all 

manner of products are available to make 

homes more minimalistic. While it’s nice to buy 

your storage from designer homewares stores, 

the likes of The Warehouse and Kmart sell many 

simple products for masking clutter. Fabric 

storage cubes are a great start for disguising 

the clutter. They fit neatly into shelves and 

wardrobes and thanks to competition from the 

big department stores, can cost $10 or less 

each. You’ll also find wicker, felt, cotton, woven 

and metal baskets for a song. 

Another clever idea, is to buy a cheap set of 

melamine shelves for use in your wardrobe. A 

set of shelves does much the same job as an 

expensive wardrobe fit out. You can move the 

shelf heights to accommodate shoes and boots. 

It looks good, but costs little. 

Another wardrobe organisation is a Wardrobe 

Starter Kit from Hardware stores. While you’re 

there, check out bicycle storage hooks as well. 

As well as being practical, storage products 

can make a design statement. The important 

thing is to be consistent. don’t, for example, 

buy storage cubes in different colours. If you’re 

looking for really clever home storage ideas 

take a tip from the tiny home movement. 

Catherine Foster who wrote Small House Living, 

downsized her life to under 90sq m and has 

interviewed Kiwis who live in architecturally 

designed homes of that size or smaller. 

Each and every house in Foster’s book uses 

storage effectively to tame their belongings. 

Some have done it on the smell of an oily rag,

Selling your property? 

First impressions count, 

get rid of the clutter. 

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that getting rid of clutter 

is one of the keys to selling property fast and at a good price. Good storage 

systems can look cool in their own right, and help organise your clutter. 

sometimes buying pre-cut heavy duty plywood 

that only has to be screwed together, she says. 

Garages and lofts are house vendors’ friends. 

The garage is one of the few places in the house 

that buyers won’t be put off by a little extra 

stuff, but the more that can be hidden away in 

stacked crates the better. Consider using flat 

pack cupboards that can be taken with you. 

“The most effective way of using these is to 

find a wall where the whole area can be covered 

floor to ceiling,” 

“Simple carpentry like this is dIY level if you’re 

handy, or get a handyman in for a few hours, but 

make sure it is excluded from the list of chattels 

on the sale agreement.” 

Loft spaces are often wasted space in Kiwi 

homes. A relatively cheap way to open up 

the space is to install a loft ladder. You will be 

amazed at what people use the additional 

storage space for, once they’ve installed it. 

Cheap clever storage ideas aren’t just limited 

to the interior of the house, garage and loft. The 

Warehouse, Mitre 10 & other hardware stores 

sell garden storage to hide away things usually 

left outside. 

Foldable garden storage boxes that cost 

from around $99 can be used to store garden 

tools, outdoor cushions and pool paraphernalia. 

The next step up is a cheap garden shed for 

around $200 upwards from Mitre 10, Bunnings 

Warehouse and other stores. 

Finally, if you’re looking for more inspiration 

Google “storage ideas”, search the same on 

Pinterest, or check out books on the subject 

from your local library. You’ll be amazed at how 

many everyday items can be repurposed for 

storage at the same time as adding design 

excellence to your home.
