Red light 

camera 

returns 

to nab 

motorists 

• By Julia Evans 

THE CITY is about to get a 

camera to catch red light-runners 

– the first since the 1990s. 

The camera is being installed 

at the Bealey Ave and Madras 

St intersection, but will move 

around the city’s “high risk” 

intersections, city council acting 

head of transport Mark Pinner 

said. 

“The list of intersections 

and how long the camera will 

remain in one place has yet to be 

decided,” he said. 

The camera records 

vehicles travelling through 

the intersection, the footage 

is then put through software, 

which detects red light-running 

incidents. 

Police and the city council 

are investigating enforcement 

options, Mr Pinner said, but he 

said it would be run on the same 

model as cameras currently used 

in Wellington and Auckland. 

“Council will be informing 

motorists about red light camera 

enforcement, and signage will be 

part of that information.” 

He said the city council has 

launched the campaign to reduce 

numbers, as crashes at signalised 

intersections are a “really 

significant” road safety problem 

in the city. 

“Traffic signal crashes are close 

to a quarter of all crashes in the 

city, with a social cost of about 

$27 million per year.

Santa Parade could return to city 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

THE 72ND Christchurch 

Santa Parade could return to 

the central city this year for the 

first time since the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

In its submission on the 

city council’s draft Long 

Term Plan yesterday the 

Christchurch Children’s 

Christmas Parade Trust asked 

for $35,000 in funding. 

Long-time volunteer 

Squadron Leader Shane Cole 

presented the submission to 

city councillors alongside trust 

chairwoman Anne Jamieson. 

Squadron Leader Cole said 

they hoped to run the parade 

along Madras St with it to finish 

at the Margaret Mahy Family 

Playground. 

He said the parade would 

help reinvigorate the central 

city, and finishing at the playground 

would be perfect for the 

children. 

The trust is currently working 

with the city council on making 

this happen. 

Squadron Leader Cole said 

they hoped to include Latimer 

Square in the plans, where food 

vendors could set up. 

Since the earthquakes the 

parade has travelled along Riccarton 

Rd. 

The parade’s future had been 

uncertain after struggling 

financially. But last year, the 

city council put $35,000 into 

it. 

MultiMedia Communications 

agreed to sponsor the 

event, taking up the naming 

rights for this year’s parade and 

next. 

School decision fuels debate 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE ARM-WRESTLE over 

a new site for Redcliffs School 

heated up again yesterday. 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Minister Megan Woods 

has given approval for changes 

to the District Plan, allowing the 

school to be built on Redcliffs 

Park. 

Friends of 

Redcliffs Park 

spokesman 

Chris Doudney 

said the minister 

had got it 

wrong. 

“I suspect the 

Kate 

McClelland 

Darren 

Fidler 

information 

she was given 

was limited and 

she would have 

been limited 

as to what she 

could base her 

decision on. 

Very much the 

same as the 

community 

board hearing 

last August 

where our own submission 

couldn’t be received or discussed 

because the scope of the 

argument was limited to considering 

the school on the park.” 

He said they wanted to get 

more information about the 

basis for the minister’s decision. 

For seven years the school has

Redcliffs Park as a school. 

been operating from the Van 

Asch campus in Sumner, after 

earthquake-generated rockfall 

at its former site. 

In March 2015 the Government 

proposed the school’s closure 

but following community 

outcry, it agreed in June 2016 to 

return the school to Redcliffs – 

provided it be established on a 

different site. 

Deputy principal Kate Mc- 

Clelland was “thrilled” the 

school will be rebuilt at Redcliffs 

Park. 

Said Ms McClelland: “After 

seven years we’re very excited to 

be finally able to return to our 

home in Redcliffs. After all the 

work that’s been done working 

towards this day, we’re thrilled.” 

Families and pupils were 

notified yesterday morning, 

shortly after the decision was 

announced. 

Board of trustees chairman 

Darren Fidler was “happy and 

relieved” at the news. 

“We can finally get back. It’s 

been a long seven years.” 

He said it had been an open 

and transparent process. 

“The minister put out all the 

information that she used to 

inform her decision so the due 

process has been followed . . . 

we’re looking forward to getting 

back to the core business of 

educating kids. That’s all we’ve 

ever wanted to do and this has 

been a massive distraction from 

that.”

tourism expo 

Christchurch will host the 2020 

New Zealand tourism expo, 

TRENZ. ChristchurchNZ chief 

executive Joanna Norris said 

the announcement was a welldeserved 

endorsement for the 

future of tourism in the city. The 

last time Christchurch hosted the 

tourism showcase was in 2006. 

The event will bring together 

leading providers of accommodation, 

transport and activities to 

showcase their products to more 

than 350 international travel and 

tourism buyers from major and 

emerging visitor markets. 

North-bound lane 

opens on Durham St 

A new north-bound lane was 

opened on Durham St yesterday 

between Tuam and Lichfield Sts. It 

is part of an upgrade of the street 

aimed at making it easier for 

motorists, cyclists and pedestrians 

to get around the city. The work 

has cost about $13 million. The 

upgrade, from Kilmore to Tuam 

Sts, is set to be finished by the 

end of the month and is being 

undertaken by Ōtākaro Ltd. 

International interest 

in CHDB work 

New resources developed by 

Canterbury District Health 

Board psychiatrist Susan Gee 

to help prevent delirium have 

attracted interest from the United 

Kingdom, Ireland, Canada 

and Spain. Dr Gee began the 

THINKdelirium Prevention 

Project, which include a tip 

book, poster, pens and a family 

brochure. Delirium is a rapid 

decline in brain function, usually 

the result of an acute illness, 

injury or surgery, and develops 

over hours or days.

Red light camera returns 

•From page 1 

“Red light-running is a 

part of the problem and 

needs to be addressed,’’ Mr 

Pinner said. 

Acting road policing 

manager Senior Sergeant 

Kelly Larsen said red lightrunning 

incidents were too 

high. 

“More drivers than 

we would like enter 

intersections on orange 

lights. These often change 

to red while the driver is 

still in the intersection, 

creating an unnecessary 

road safety risk,” she said. 

It comes with the release 

of a report from traffic

Hospital staff to get 200 more parks 


MORE THAN 200 temporary 

car parks will be provided for 

Christchurch Hospital staff. 

Minister for Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods announced the 

additional parking will be at the 

Metro Sports Facility site on St 

Asaph St. 

It comes after a student nurse 

was robbed and assaulted at 

knife-point walking back to her 

car through Hagley Park after a 

late night shift. 

“The severe lack of parking at 

Christchurch Hospital is widely 

known and is creating real 

problems for hospital staff,” Dr 

Woods said. 

However, there is still no 

update for those fed up with the 

conditions of the Deans Ave park 

and ride service. 

The Star has lead a campaign 

calling on Christchurch MPs 

and the Canterbury District 

Health Board to fix the issues. 

CDHB general manager 

finance and corporate services 

Justine White said additional 

shelter is being discussed as part 

of “overall planning” for the park 

and ride service. 

But she could not give

there will be 

200 additional 

car parks for 

hospital staff, 

as highlighted 

in blue on the 

map, at the 

Metro Sports 

Facility site on 

St Asaph St. 

a specific time frame for 

any announcement. 

In April, potholes and dangerous, 

uneven surfaces were filled 

in at the Deans Ave park and 

ride. 

Dr Woods said work on 

identifying other potential sites 

for extra community parking is 

continuing. 

Work will start on the temporary 

staff parks immediately. 

“I’ve asked for work to begin 

on this straight away, with an 

aim of having the parking available 

in the next two or three 

months. These car parks will be 

available for one to two years 

while construction is under 

way, reducing as construction 

progresses,” she said. 

New Zealand Nurses Organisation 

organiser Christin Watson 

said it is “really good news” 

for hospital staff. 

“We’ve been lobbying anyone 

who will listen for a long term 

. . . in terms of safety and security, 

it gives us a lot more options,” 

he said. 

Mr Watson said while it was a 

short to medium-term solution, 

it would give them “breathing 

room” to investigate long-term 

solutions. 

As the metro facility’s build 

progresses, the number of parks 

will be reduced. 

“These temporary parks will 

help take the pressure off until a 

permanent new car park is open 

in 2020,” Dr Woods said.

is being done to fix the

Plan for Brougham St bottleneck 

NZTA moves 

to ease 

congestion 


ONE OF the city’s busiest roads 

is set to have its congestion issues 

addressed. 

Brougham St “corridor improvements” 

have been included 

in the draft transport agency 

investment proposal 

2018-27 

released by the 

New Zealand 

Transport 

Agency. 

About 44,000 

vehicles, 

including 5000 

Jim Harland 

freight, use the 

thoroughfare 

from the Selwyn 

district to Lyttelton Port each 

day. 

“The Brougham St, State Highway 

76 project is identified as a 

proposed activity, which means 

it will continue to be developed, 

subject to its new alignment with 

the Government policy statement 

on land transport priorities,” 

NZTA direction regional 

relationships Jim Harland said. 

The proposal includes a budget 

of between $10 million-$100 million 

for the upgrades to increase 

flow along the street. 

The work would be completed 

before 2021, while a detailed 

business case and design 

would begin when the plan 

was approved by Environment 

Canterbury’s regional transport 

committee before August 31. 

The plan said NZTA will work 

with partners, including the 

city council and Selwyn District 

Council, to “investigate appropriate 

solutions” to congestion 

along Brougham St to the Rolleston 

Corridor, which connects 

Selwyn to the Lyttelton Port. 

“Doing so will improve 

customer access between the 

south of the city to Lyttelton Port 

and help reduce congestion in 

Christchurch’s south-western 

suburbs,” the plan said. 

It comes as Selwyn Mayor Sam 

Broughton raised his concerns 

about congestion on the motorway 

during the city council’s 

Long Term Plan hearings. 

Mr Broughton said he anticipates 

congestion will get worse 

the longer the corridor is left as 

it is.

“The southern end of the motorway 

connecting to Brougham 

St is a major cause of transport 

delays to the wider travelling 

public, which is expected to 

get worse as time goes on,” Mr 

Broughton said. 

This was inevitable with the 

expected population increases in 

both Selwyn and Christchurch, 

he said. 

City council manager planning 

and delivery transport 

Lynette Ellis said it would work 

with NZTA to “effectively and 

efficiently” keep the transport 

network running, including 

Brougham St. 




City’s roads 

get $10m 

boost 


THE CITY’S road maintenance 

budget will receive a $10 million 

cash injection. 

But the additional New Zealand 

Transport Agency funding only 

puts the level of service in line 

with other cities around the 

country, city council manager city 

streets maintenance Mark Pinner 

said. 

“The $10m represents an 

increase over total budget approved 

by NZTA from $145m for 

the 2015-18 three-year period, to 

$155m for the 2018-21 period,” he 

said. 

Mr Pinner said the extra funding 

would go towards resealing 

damaged roads around the city. 

“Obtaining the ‘extra’ level of 

investment will still only deliver 

an equivalent level of services to 

other NZ cities in an anticipated 

20-year horizon.” 

The additional money equates 

to about 10km of additional sealing 

annually, Mr Pinner said. 

Of the $155 million, NZTA 

would be paying 51 per cent, 

while the council would contribute 

49 per cent.

Demand for 

window and glass 

cleaning has risen 

since the quakes as 

new buildings have 

popped up. Bridget 

Rutherford reports 

WALKING THROUGH the 

central city, all you need to do 

is look up and you see glass. 

It seems almost every new 

building that has popped up 

since the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake has incorporated it 

into the design. 

But with glass, comes the 

much trickier job of cleaning it 

– and cleaning companies are 

seeing the demand skyrocket. 

Goleman Group chief 

executive Joel Matsis said it 

has seen a massive increase in 

demand for window and glass 

cleaning services since the 

earthquakes. 

“Before the quakes, we were 

very much the only company 

in town,” he said. 

“There’s a lot more 

competition out there in the 

market. It’s good to keep us on 

our toes.” 

Goleman Group specialises 

TRICKY: Goleman Group window cleaners were working on the Deloitte building on 

Tuesday. 

in window and glass cleaning, 

including high rise buildings, 

and anything on the outside of 

commercial buildings. 

Mr Matsis said before the 

quakes, the buildings were 

relatively boring and the 

windows were easier to access 

and clean. 

New buildings had more 

glass and different angles, so 

they were a lot more technical 

to clean and expensive, he 

said. 

“The architects really went 

to town,” he said. 

“Around the central city, a 

lot more buildings are coming 

up with a lot more glass. On all 

the new buildings, the glass is 

very noticeable.”

For your 

special 

lady on 

clean the city’s windows 

day 

But with the new buildings 

has come different ways to 

clean them. Previously, they 

were a lot taller, so more rope 

access was required. 

However, now the height 

limit has been reduced, windows 

could be accessed using 

machinery, which was a lot 

faster, Mr Matsis said. 

He said Goleman Group had 

purchased more machinery as 

a result. 

In Christchurch, Goleman 

Group has about 30 technicians, 

20 of whom were on the 

window cleaning high ropes. 

All staff had comprehensive 

training before being able to 

start working on the ropes. 

Every building had different 

requirements when it came 

to cleaning its windows. They 

had just finished doing the 

HSBC Building on Worcester 

Boulevard, and were cleaning 

the Deloitte building this 

week. 

“Safety has got to be the 

priority.’’ 

Many people approached 

the company wanting jobs for 

the thrill of it. 

“After six months it’s just 

another job,’’ Mr Matsis said. 

JetX manager Marc Walker 

had “definitely” seen a jump 

in demand in the past two or 

three years as the central city 

buildings were constructed. 

“In terms of window cleaning 

and abseilers, work has 

doubled at least,” he said. 

“These new facades are just 

glass, glass, glass.” 

He said they had about 

seven or eight abseilers, many 

of whom had backgrounds in 

rock climbing or abseiling so 

they did not have a problem 

with heights. All were specially 

trained. 

“We’re finding it’s getting

busier and busier.” 

Mr Walker said some of the 

new buildings were not practical 

to clean, which meant they 

took a lot longer. 

They had worked on high 

rise buildings such as the 

PWC building, the Justice and 

Emergency Services Precinct, 

Grand Central and The Crossing. 

Mr Walker said PWC would 

have taken four abseilers about 

a week to do. The Justice and 

Emergency Services Precinct 

would take a lot longer because 

of its sheer size, he said. 

Ministry of Justice commercial 

and property general 

manager Fraser Gibbs said it 

was finalising a contract for 

the regular cleaning of the 

precinct’s windows. 

“It is anticipated that the 

ground floor windows will be 

cleaned once a month while 

the windows above ground 

level will be washed every 

three months (quarterly) by 

abseilers.” 

Mr Gibbs was unable to say 

what the ongoing costs would 

be as it was commercially 

sensitive and subject to negotiation. 

Meanwhile, the cost of 

cleaning the outside of the 

city council’s civic offices’ 

windows is $56,000 annually. 

Head of facilities, property 

and planning Bruce Rendall 

said several different contractors 

were used to clean the 

windows. 

He said the exterior windows 

were normally cleaned 

quarterly, which required 

abseilers. 

It was currently trialling 

whether the frequency could 

be reduced which would lower 

the $56,000 cost.

and Geoff Sloan 

A FORMER male prostitute 

who was once deemed a public 

health risk and put into isolation 

for knowingly spreading 

HIV to other men is back on 

Christchurch streets busking. 

Christopher Ian Truscott was 

put into secure care in 1999 

under the Health Act by the 

Canterbury Medical Officer of 

Health after being convicted 

for having sex with four men 

without telling them he was 

HIV-positive. 

He claimed he had sexual 

relations with thousands of 

men while being HIV-positive. 

Truscott is no longer in secure 

care and took up busking about 

six weeks ago. 

The Star spoke to him yesterday 

on New Regent St, where he 

was dressed up and doing his 

skit ‘Statue Man’ in which he 

pretends to be a statue. 

“I’m keeping out of trouble, 

and I’m keeping it that way,” he 

told The Star. 

“It’s easier to get in trouble, it’s 

harder to get out.” 

Truscott was kept under 

intense supervision for 10 

years until 2009 in various 

Government-funded locations, 

including in Merivale and 

Selwyn, at a cost of up to 

$300,000 a year. 

He escaped multiple times, 

often going back to Hagley Park 

where one of his sexual liaisons 

occurred. 

Canterbury Medical Officer 

of Health Cheryl Brunton said 

Truscott’s supervision ended 

some years ago and he was now 

a “private citizen.” 

Dr Brunton said the Canterbury 

District Health Board was 

not aware of Truscott’s busking, 

as it posed no threat to public 

health. 

“HIV cannot be passed on 

by casual contact or being in 

the same geographical area as 

(an) infected person with HIV. 

Transmission of HIV requires 

close contact with blood or 

bodily fluids.” 

Truscott said he had been 

busking every day around 

central city tourist spots and 

Cathedral Square’s Friday Street 

Food Market for about six weeks

• By Bridget

WHO ARE you going to 

call if you find a homeless 

person sleeping in the 

doorway of your central 

city business? 

Not Ghostbusters but 

specially trained people 

who will be part of multiagency 

plan. 

The city council, Central 

City Business Association, 

social agencies and businesses 

have been working 

on a plan to make the area 

safer and get homeless 

people and beggars the 

help they need. 

Reinstating the ambassador 

programme, which 

was set up in 2007 and saw 

security guards in red jackets 

patrol the central city, is 

being investigated. 

It could include specially 

trained staff walking 

around and speaking with 

beggars and homeless 

people to see what their 

situation is, and if they 

needed a home. 

It would tie in with the 

Housing First initiative, 

which will get people into 

homes, and then support 

them with any other issues 

they may be facing. 

“We have identified the 

fact if there is somebody 

sitting in a hotel doorway, 

the hotel owner has no idea 

who to call or what to do,” 

city councillor and Safer 

Christchurch Strategy 

Committee chairwoman 

Anne Galloway said.

homeless: Who will you call? 

“That’s where the ambassadors 

come in – they are a frontline 

person out there who will make 

first contact with people on the 

street. 

“They start the process from 

the footpath to the whare.” 

In the past, central city 

businesses had been concerned 

with the number of homeless 

people and beggars in the area, 

saying some could intimidate 

customers and staff. 

Cr Galloway said these were 

“our people” and the group 

wanted to approach the situation 

compassionately. 

“But we also want people to 

feel safe in the central city and 

unfortunately having people 

on the street along Hereford 

St for example, does not give a 

perception of safety.” 

Cr Galloway said there was 

still a lot of work to be done on 

the idea, but it was going 

to happen “in one form or 

another.” 

The staff would also help curb 

other anti-social behaviour, be 

the “eyes and ears” of police, and 

help tourists and visitors.

which would start to arise as the

not a good look. 

He said the ambassador 

programme would work well. 

“They would be perfectly 

placed being able to interact 

with people facing a raft of 

issues being homeless people or 

begging,” he said. 

“There’s often a lot more to 

it than simply not having a

Parking wardens to have

BECOMING THE eyes and ears

identifying hazards could be 

added to parking wardens’ job 

descriptions. 

That’s if the Central City Business 

Association has its way. 

The association has asked the 

city council for funding to reinstate 

its ambassador programme 

in the draft Long Term Plan to 

curb anti-social behaviour in the 

central city. 

It has suggested parking 

wardens could be up-skilled to 

assist. 

“We thought that parking 

wardens tend to get a bad rap, it 

must be a hard job. They do have 

quite a lot of turnover of staff 

in that area. It could give them 

a slightly wider brief that’s a bit 

more exciting and a bit more 

fun,” Business association manager 

Paul Lonsdale said. 

“They could double act as a 

city host, helping people get 

around the city and combine 

that with the ambassador programme.”

some prepared to do that, and 

there may be some who perhaps 

might think that’s not their role

City councillor Jamie Gough

Quarry battle takes ugly turn 

VANDALISED: Curraghs Rd resident Simon Moore with 

his damaged no quarry sign. 

• By Anan Zaki 

THE BATTLE over a proposed 

Templeton quarry has taken an 

ugly turn. 

Residents on Curraghs Rd who 

opposed the quarry had their 

roadside signs forcibly removed 

by an unknown culprit for a 

third time in three weeks. 

The latest incident occurred 

last week and the culprit took 

down a mailbox, a sign on a gate, 

along with roadside signs, angering 

Curraghs Rd resident Simon 

Moore. 

“They were there Monday 

night and were down Tuesday 

morning,” he said. 

Mr Moore said even though 

he lived across the Christchurch 

city border in Selwyn, he and his 

Weedons neighbours supported 

the Templeton Residents’ Association’s 

fight against the quarry. 

“It’s gone a bit nasty to be honest,” 

Mr Moore said. 

The incidents have not been 

reported to the police but he 

warned if there is another attempt 

to forcibly remove the 

signs, they would be caught 

red-handed. 

He has put in hidden cameras. 

The footage would then be 

passed onto police, Mr Moore 

said. 

“So we will wait till the cameras 

arrive before we put even 

bigger signs up,” he said. 

Mr Moore did not believe one 

of his neighbours removed the 

signs as they were all against the 

proposed quarry. 

“We are opposed to the quarry 

because it will end up close to 

our houses,” he said. 

Mr Moore blamed the incident 

on supporters of the quarry and 

did not believe a local authority 

was responsible for their 

removal. 

He also delivered a message for 

those responsible. 

“Leave them alone, they are 

not your property and don’t start 

taking retribution against people 

who want to have a right to their 

say,” Mr Moore said. 

Templeton Residents Association 

chairman Garry Kilday believed 

the incidents were isolated 

to Curraghs Rd. 

He called on quarry supporters 

to express their views by 

making signs similiar to the 

anti-quarry signs. 

“Don’t remove an anti-quarry 

sign, put ‘I support the quarry 

on your gate post’,” Mr Kilday 

said. 

Last month Templeton residents 

who had more than one 

sign on display were ordered to 

remove them or face a $300 by 

the city council.

to Auckland early the following 

day and Maddie underwent an 

initial operation and then a second 

operation to reposition the 

kidney hours later at 

Starship Children’s 

Health. 

Mrs Manson- 

Collins said Maddie 

had an “amazing 

recovery” in spite of 

the first 48 hours not 

going to plan. 

Maddie received 

a kidney transplant from her 

father Adam Collins five years 

ago but her body rejected it. 

With only a two per cent 

chance of finding a donor match 

in New Zealand, the family 

did not expect to find another 

kidney in the country. 

Mrs Manson-Collins said 

Maddie has a lot of exciting 

events coming up including 

speaking at Canterbury Bride 

of the Year about organ donation.

Supermarket gets mobile 

COUNTDOWN IS getting out 

into the community. 

Over the next 11 weeks the 

supermarket’s new mobile 

bus will be out in different 

locations around the city hosting 

barbecues and giving out free 

samples. 

“We’re really excited about the 

launch of our new Countdown 

mobile bus. We can’t wait to 

take a slice of Countdown 

out to the wider community,” 

spokeswoman Kiri Hannifin 

said. 

“Over the coming months, 

we want to take the bus across 

the region and attend as many 

community events as we can. 

We’re really passionate about 

helping and being involved in 

the communities in which we 

operate.” 

The bus has already visited 

Bottle Lake Forest and several 

local schools, she said. 

“Hopefully over the next 

couple of months you will see us 

in your local community. Come 

and say: ‘Hi,’ as we’re giving out 

loads of free fruit, water and lots 

of samples from our Countdown 

range,” Ms Hannifin said. 

“We’re planning to help out 

at the Mother’s Day Heart 

OUT AND ABOUT: The new Countdown market bus spent the afternoon at Bottle Lake 

Forest handing out free dog treats. 

Foundation fun run this 

weekend.” 

While the bus is making its 

way around the city, once a 

month Countdown stores will be 

hosting market garage sale days. 

“We’re also helping to 

fundraise money for several 

community organisations 

including the SPCA, local 

schools, fire stations and 

Plunket’s at our new market 

days which are happening once 

a month at our Christchurch 

stores,” Ms Hannifin said. 

Bid to prevent 

boy racers from 

accessing red zone 

BOY RACERS doing burnouts 

in the residential red zone has 

led to a call for the placement of 

barriers to be reviewed. 

The Burwood East 

Residents’ Association says 

some closed streets can be 

accessed by vehicles, due to wide 

spaces between the barriers and 

the fences around the vacant 

land. 

In the letter to the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board, 

association secretary Gae Johns 

said Stour Drive, particularly the 

intersections of Priory Close and 

Vivian St, are popular areas for 

burnouts to occur. 

“We have witnessed a couple 

of burnt out vehicles and rubbish 

dumpings as access alongside the 

barriers is an easy access point for 

those who wish to ignore them,” 

Ms Johns wrote. 

Areas along Stour Drive are 

also a popular place for residents 

to dump unwanted household 

goods, she said. 

But residents are too far away 

to take photographs of boy racers, 

therefore making a complaint to 

the police is a “fruitless” action 

without any evidence, Ms Johns 

said.

Cutting-edge technology in search 

Antarctic studies 

associate professor 

Wolfgang Rack is 

going on an expedition 

to the Weddell Sea to 

try and uncover the 

wreckage of Sir Ernest 

Shackleton’s sunken 

ship, Endurance, 

using cutting-edge 

technology. He talks to 

Julia Evans 

FOLLOWING IN the footsteps 

of polar explorer Ernest 

Shackleton is something many 

Antarctic scientists only dream 

of. 

But for Canterbury University 

Associate Professor Wolfgang 

Rack that will be a reality in 

January when he joins an expedition 

with the hope of discovering 

Shackleton’s ship 100 years 

after it sank in the Weddell Sea. 

“Using a ship makes it possible 

to go to places you can’t go by 

air, it’s normally very difficult 

with the sea ice . . . you need an 

icebreaker,” Prof Rack said. 

Where countless expeditions 

have failed to find the wreckage, 

Prof Rack said this trip has a

higher chance as the technology 

being used is similar to that 

searching for the Malaysian 

MH370, thought to have crashed 

in the Indian Ocean four years 

ago. 

Just last week, the search for 

the airliner discovered two 19thcentury 

wreckages off the coast 

of Australia, 

Prof Rack is one of two Canterbury 

scientists set to board the 

South African icebreaker ship, 

Agulhas II. The other is yet to be 

named. 

The expedition will cruise 

to the last known location of 

Shackleton’s ship, recorded in 

the diaries of Akaroa navigator 

Frank Worsley. 

Once there the autonomous 

underwater vehicles will be sent 

down. The AUVs can get to 

depths of nearly 6000m, while 

the ship is thought to be about 

3000m down. 

“It’s the first time this technology 

has been used like this . . . 

the expedition has a lot of firsts,” 

Prof Rack said. “It’s ice-breaking 

but it’s also ground-breaking.” 

He said he grew up hearing 

the stories of Shackleton and 

the crew of the Endurance, 

which was caught in sea ice and 

crushed in Antarctica’s Weddell 

Sea. 

“His heroic achievements are 

amazing. Losing the ship, but the 

whole team survived. It’s a story 

like no other.” 

But even if the ship is not 

found, he said it would not be 

a wasted trip. “Just being in a 

place he has been and where the 

ship sank will be incredible . . . a 

highlight.”

Prof Rack’s wife Ursula 

is an Antarctic historian at 

Canterbury University. 

“She’s been collecting books 

about Shackleton for me to read 

before I go . . . I would say she 

might be a little bit jealous.” 

But searching for Endurance 

is just a side note to the main 

purpose of the trip – studying 

Antarctic sea ice and one of 

Antarctica’s great ice shelves, 

Larsen C. 

“We are bringing down drone 

technology, which will be used in 

conjunction with the unmanned

to compare measuring the ice 

from above as well as below,” 

Prof Rack said. 

The AUVs will be sent under 

the ice shelf into some caverns 

of ocean which have never been 

sampled before. 

Prof Rack said the research will 

teach them a lot about climate 

change and how ice shelves and 

sea ice interacts. 

He said there will be a great 

deal of preparation before setting 

off. “There are a lot of challenges 

to prepare for. This is a cruise 

into pack ice, which can be very 

dangerous,” he said. 

And, even after 15 trips to the

Following Shackleton’s footsteps 

•Sir Ernest Shackleton 

(1874-1922) was a British 

polar explorer, who lead 

three expeditions to 

Antarctica. 

•Shackleton was knighted 

after his second trip in 

1908 by King Edward VII. 

•Disaster 

struck his third 

expedition in 

1915 when his 

ship, Endurance, 

became 

trapped in ice in 

the Weddell Sea 

and was slowly 

crushed, sinking 

10 months later. 

•The crew fled 

the boat and 

lived on the sea 

ice until early 

1916 when they drifted on 

ice floes and in lifeboats 

to Elephant Island, near 

the northern tip of the 

Antarctic Peninsula. 

•From there, Shackleton 

and five others sailed 

1280km in a small lifeboat 

Ernest Shackleton 

to the sub-polar island 

of South Georgia, where 

they arrived at a whaling 

station. 

•Shackleton then made 

four attempts to rescue 

his remaining crew from 

Elephant Island, until he 

finally reached 

them on a 

Chilean steam 

tug at the end of 

August 1916. 

•All 27 crew 

members 

survived, 

returning to 

Britain via New 

Zealand. 

•Shackleton’s 

account of the 

Endurance’s 

expedition, South, 

was published in 1919. 

•In 1921, he returned to 

Antarctica, but died of 

a heart attack while his 

ship was moored at South 

Georgia Island. 

•At his wife’s request, he 

was buried there.

McCleary bows 

out of race at 87 

You can’t miss The Cheesecake 

Shop Edgeware with its dark green 

façade and tower-like store front located 

on the corner of Warrington St and Hills 

Road, Edgeware, Christchurch. 

In the lead up to Mother’s Day and 

The Cheesecake Shop Edgeware’s first 

anniversary this May, owners Ethan 

and Selina reflected on the past year 

“It’s been fantastic getting to know the 

community over the last year. There was 

a lot of excitement when we first opened 

with many locals being familiar with The 

Cheesecake Shop brand from visiting 

Australia.” 

When asked what their most popular 

cake is the small business owners 

replied, “Cheesecakes were very popular 

at the start, as a common misconception 

people have is that we only sell 

cheesecakes, but they are pleasantly 

surprised to see that we also have a 

great range of tortes like our ever popular 

Black Forest Torte, mudcakes, such 

as our Belgian Double Choc as well as 

much loved desserts like the Pavlova and 

Lemon Meringue.” 

The duo says what they love most 

about serving delicious cake to the 

people of Christchurch is the happiness 

that it brings. “It’s a happy business. 

When you open up the box in the store 

and they see the cake, the smile that 

lights up their face really makes our day 

– everyday!” 

The team at The Cheesecake Shop 

Edgeware are proud of their focus on 

customer service and the quality of the 

products they produce in their bakery. 

“Our products are made using only the 

finest ingredients, some of which are 

locally sourced such as the first-rate 

fresh cream used in the majority of our 

cakes which really does make a world 

of difference in the taste of the product, 

whilst other ingredients are imported 

from Australia and Europe.” 

Be sure to visit The Cheesecake 

Shop Edgeware this week for 

Mother’s Day specials and to pick 

something special up for Mum!

TRIBUTES HAVE flown 

in for motorcycle legend 

Tommy McCleary. 

Mr McCleary, 87, died on 

April 26 after losing a battle 

with cancer. 

His impacts were particularly 

felt in Wigram, 

through 

his 

41-year 

membership 

with the 

Wigram 

Lions 

Club. 

Tommy 

McCleary 

Mr Mc- 

Cleary’s 

wife of 

35 years, 

Judith, described him as 

a “generous” and “kindhearted” 

man. 

He made a lasting impression 

on many people 

across Christchurch, she 

said. 

Mr McCleary began 

riding motorcycles as a 

15-year-old and made his 

competitive racing debut 

in 1947 at Halkett, west of 

Christchurch. He enjoyed 

a glittering career, winning 

18 New Zealand championship 

titles. 

Mr McCleary also won 

the junior race in the first 

New Zealand Grand Prix 

to be broadcast live on 

radio, and finished runner 

up in the senior race. 

He took off his helmet for 

the last time in 1966.

member of 45 years, Jack 

Tait, said Mr McCleary 

made a number of contributions 

to the community 

and could not single out a 

standout over the years. 

“He was blessed with 

a very good memory, he 

could recall stories from 

the past and name people 

and he always had a 

good joke to tell,” Mr Tait 

said.

Aaron Keown might book in for

will be cows to milk, bees to

views. Or maybe he should join

everybody (including the women 

there) has a good laugh, and 

even the mayor has a laugh and 

can’t bring herself to tell him 

to pull his head in because it 

was a stupid, offensive thing to 

say, and then she basically said 

it was okay to say it in another 

environment, just not there. 

Natasha Layton CCC get

Allie Moreland – I worked 

in that business park for a

nightmare for staff. I lived across 

town with a child to drop off so 

didn’t have time to spend waiting 

around for a bus to then to get to 

work (and bus routes didn’t suit). 

If I couldn’t get a park at a reasonable 

distance I parked in the 

restricted parking and moved 

my car every break so I didn’t 

break the restrictions. Not sure 

what staff of the business park 

are meant to do when there’s not 

enough parking provided on site 

for them? 

Helen Neni Dobson – For 

goodness sake. Lighten up and 

get over yourselves. We have lost 

the will to laugh at ourselves. A 

sure sign that we are constantly 

trying to find someone else to 

blame for our shortcomings. 

Matt Cuthill – How about 

concentrating on fixing the 

roads, building a stadium, a 

proper metro sports facility, 

and getting rid of the eyesores 

including the Cathedral? 

Angela Bell – Who

Rob Eder – It’s not the staff’s 

problem, it should fall back to 

the council or developers. When 

these business parks are built 

there’s never enough parks for 

the people who work there. Same 

as the one down Cranford St 

where there’s cars parked up and 

down the road sides. When these 

business parks are first build 

they should be a requirement to 

provide car parks off the street 

for the number of people who 

work there. If they can’t then 

don’t allow them to be built so 

big. 

Hayley Lyel – Worked at that 

business park for a year and was 

pregnant with twins with a bad 

disc problem in my back. I wasn’t 

allowed to park on site so I literally 

“waddled” two blocks to get

blame here are the business park 

owners who allowed this to be 

built without sufficient parking 

for staff. I feel for the residents 

it must be awful but it was the 

worst decision to move a call

staff plus the other businesses. 

Also public transport is amazing, 

but if you are the parent who 

does pick-up and drop-offs as

Opinion 

•From page 21 

Bill Misselbrook - Consent 

for new building developments 

should include provision for 

adequate parking space for employees 

and customers/visitors. 

Too easy. 

Jaed During - Funny. Didn’t 

a bar lose its operating licence 

because it didn’t provide enough 

car parks? I loathe hypocrisy! 

We have had the opportunity 

through natural disaster to do 

things effectively with our city 

and yet here’s another example 

that those in power (and on 

high incomes) are 

incompetent. 

Sheryl Rodgers 

- Why is 

they not out there 

ticketing them 

every day? The 

only reason people 

continue to park 

is because they get 

away with it! I live in the area and 

have seen it on my street. Once 

the cars are ticketed more than 

once, they stop parking there. 

Alistair Price - It is only 

illegal because the CCC created 

bylaws to try and fix a problem 

that was of its own making by 

allowing a developer to build and 

have insufficient car parking for 

the use intended of the premises. 

When the Styx development was 

proposed neighbouring residents 

were very concerned about the 

lack of parking within the centre 

and the impact of staff parking in 

streets around the development. 

The developer and the CCC did 

not care at all. When Botany 

Town Centre (Auckland) was 

built the local council insisted 

that all staff car parking had to be 

on site. 

Paula Jones – There’s parking 

at the business park if you 

want to pay for it, it’s just horrendously 

expensive if your work 

place is too tight to pay 

for parking for you and 

each business only gets 

allocated a certain number 

of parks. I worked 

there for 18 months and 

had one car written off 

thanks to someone wiping 

out three cars plus 

himself, as we use to park 

on Russley Rd opposite 

but when they took that away 

it just moved the problem and 

made it worse. 

Rachael Brown - Perhaps 

they should take the bus? 

Jo Zervos – Now they will 

put in bike lanes there to discourage 

the use of cars.

Injecting light and life 

NEARLY 400 people and 

organisations have taken the 

time to submit on our Long 

Term Plan, and what a diversity 

of views they bring to the table. 

I really enjoy listening to what 

people have to say. 

We had a real thrill this week 

to hear what is planned to 

replace the ANZ building on the 

corner of Cathedral Square. 

The submitter was asking us 

to bring forward funding to do 

the work that needs to be done 

on the south side of Cathedral 

Square. He talked about how 

the private sector was making 

an enormous investment – the 

Distinction Hotel, the Spark 

building (which will include a 

hospitality venue on its roof) and 

this new one. 

He was saying that the city 

needed to provide the right 

environment to support these 

businesses that were opening up 

these north facing buildings to 

the Square. 

He then showed us the image 

of the new building. It has been 

designed by no less than Shigeru 

Ban, who gave us the Transitional 

Cathedral and it is stunning. 

Internationally renowned

Daniel Wheeler - May be we could 

stop paying our taxes until they stop parking 

illegally. 

Sarah Beckwith - Why allow a high 

capacity business Park so close to a residential 

area? 

Burnetta 

Godinet - A Park 

and Ride situation 

could be a solution, 

like they do for 

ChCh hospital. 

Geoff Oscar 

- As if there’s not 

more pressing 

matters the should be occupying the 

mayor’s time. 

Heather Bevan - If they are illegally 

parked and have had a ticket once, tow 

them the second time. 

Paul Sutherland - The council just 

needs to send parking wardens more 

frequently. 

Julian Mitchell - Solve the issue? 

Move it somewhere else more like! 

Tom Peters - Sadly she seems to have 

failed at a lot more than that. 

Mac Donald - Its just simple, tow 

them to Ashburton. 

Philip Baker - Start towing them.

talks about 

making 

changes happen in her 

area 

CHANGE happens most often 

and most easily when we work 

together to make it happen. 

A recent example was the 

formation of the Kennedys 

Bush Track Network, which 

led to the reopening of the 

track. 

It was great to see the 

network grow quickly and 

highlight the critical mass of 

people out there interested in 

getting the track open. 

As the group formed, the 

media became more interested 

in the issue and people worked 

together to tell the city council 

that they really wanted that 

road line open. 

Time and again we see the 

same principle in the work 

that the Halswell Residents’ 

Association does around 

our area, such as ensuring 

our local roads are safe and 

that we have necessary local

facilities. 

Sports clubs shape our 

kids and our Saturdays; 

while churches provide 

support and activities for our 

local area. 

Another way we are 

seeing the work achieved by 

communities is in the many 

planting days that we see 

happening on the Port Hills, 

in the quarry, and around 

local streams. Here people are 

making a significant positive 

difference to our landscapes 

and to local water quality. 

A recent example is the 

Cashmere Streamcare group 

which met two weeks ago to 

weed and put mulch around 

plantings along the edge of a 

local drain between Sparks 

and Sutherlands Rds. 

Communities change things 

in all sorts of different ways 

around our city and our local 

area. 

We have a huge range of 

wonderful community groups 

in Halswell 

and they need your support. 

Get out there and get 

involved in a community 

that interests you and see 

how you can help to make a 

difference.

Our People 

Kirsa Webb 

Digging up the city’s history 

Underground Overground archaeologist Kirsa Webb 

says there has been a boom in archaeology since 

the earthquakes. She talks to Julia Evans about 

what a day looks like excavating sites and some 

of the cool things she has dug up 

What does a ‘normal’ day 

look like for an archaeologist? 

Well, basically we get jobs that 

get called in all the time. At the 

start of the day we might not 

know if we’re going to a site or 

not unless we’ve been on a site 

the previous day. Most of our 

jobs are quite short term so we 

go to a site in the morning for 

half the day and that’ll be it. 

Most of our work is monitoring 

construction and demolition of 

buildings around the city. You’ll 

start out, come to the office, and 

by about 10am, you get a call out 

to go to a site. You really have no 

idea what your day might look 

like when you arrive to work. 

What happens at a site? 

We’ll go to the site and 

have a look at whatever the 

contractors have found and 

sort of determine the age of it, 

when it was deposited, and try to 

figure out what the context was 

as well. How it was deposited, by 

whom, whether it was a domestic 

deposit or commercial, just 

anything like that. Sometimes 

you might get just an individual 

fragment of glass or an 

individual bone or it might be 

something more substantial like 

a whole rubbish deposit. Even 

with rubbish we’re right in there 

– if it’s pre-1900 rubbish, we’re 

all over it. 

What kind of things do the 

artefacts tell you? 

It tells us a lot about pre-1900 

life in Christchurch. Basically 

if it’s a domestic deposit it 

could tell us how people lived 

their lives while they were at 

home, what sort of food they 

were eating, what sort of class 

they fitted into, what sort of 

tableware they had, things like 

that. Whether or not there were 

children on the site. Quite often 

we find artefacts that are related 

to children and I’ve 

got some children’s 

artefacts here. They 

might include 

a little tea set 

or children’s 

plates with 

stories 

on them. 

Sometimes we 

find clothing 

items and shoes, 

we can tell what 

clothing they 

wore. We can 

tell what sort of 

fibres, whether 

the items were 

fashionable 

and where they 

sat in society. 

That’s the whole 

point of it. Just 

to learn more 

about society 

and culture in Christchurch in 

the 19th-century. 

What are some of the coolest 

things you have found? 

We always get asked this 

question, every time. We 

do find some really cool 

stuff. It depends, though. 

All archaeologists have their 

favourite items to find. For 

me, smoking pipes are usually 

quite cool. They’re cool to 

look at, nice to handle, a lot of 

them have really cool looking 

designs on them as well. In 

the shape of heads or fish or 

animals. We have found quite 

a few cool pocket watches. Of 

course, they’re not as nice as 

they once were. They’ve been in 

the ground for more than 150 

years. In terms of artefacts, we 

also might find one individual 

bottle from a country overseas 

that we’ve never found anything 

from before. It might be quite a 

mundane artefact, but because it

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

comes from somewhere other 

than England or Australia, that 

makes it an incredible cool. It’s 

all about context. I’d be pretty 

stoked if I found any of those on 

a site. 

How did the earthquakes 

impact archaeology in 

Christchurch? 

There was definitely a boom. 

There’s always been legislation 

in place to protect archaeology 

and pre-1900 sites. But prior to 

the Christchurch earthquake, 

everyone claimed ignorance 

or did not know that there was 

legislation. When CERA, and 

later Otakaro, came in, they 

heavily supported that legislation 

through their managed demolitions. 

Our company came in 

right from the start and worked 

with CERA to see that their obligation 

under the legislation was 

met. So we worked very closely 

just after the earthquake to manage 

their work and make sure all 

the archaeology was recorded as 

things were either demolished or 

excavated. The earthquake, while 

horrendous, has been a great 

opportunity to study our city. If 

we hadn’t had the archaeologists 

on site from the get-go, all of the 

context and history would’ve just 

been lost. I’m sitting in my office 

and there’s about 1000 boxes of 

artefacts, there’s another one or 

two storage containers 

just filled with 

artefacts. There’s huge 

amounts that have 

been discovered. 

Are there any sites from 

around the world that you 

would love to study? 

When I first started at university, 

I really wanted to be able to 

research ancient 

hominids, 

ancient 

humans. 

But gradually 

I got 

side-tracked 

into historical 

archaeology. 

The first papers 

you take at 

university go through ancient 

human history. I wanted to do 

that but to get to Africa can be 

quite difficult. You have to pay 

to volunteer onto an excavation 

site and it can be quite hard to 

get into the country sometimes. 

When I first started I thought 

that would be quite cool, roaming 

around Africa looking for 

human remains. 

How did you end up being an 

archaeologist in Christchurch? 

Archaeology is my second 

degree. There weren’t many jobs 

around when I graduated, so I 

went to work in retail and on 

orchards. Then the earthquakes 

happened. I was literally sitting 

in my supervisor’s office about 

to go back to university and 

start my master’s. But he said 

don’t you want to go and work in 

Christchurch. A couple of weeks 

later I was here and I’ve never 

left. I was only offered a couple 

of months work; we thought 

everything would be over in two 

years. I just haven’t left. It was a 

great opportunity to get handson 

experience. I’ve built a career 

out of archaeology in the city. 

Have you always been 

fascinated with history? 

Where I grew up on the 

Otago Peninsula, there’s a 

whole landscape of Victorian 

dairy farms. I was a free-range 

child, so I would just spend 

afternoons and weekends 

roaming around and looking at 

these old buildings. I’ve always 

been interested in the history of 

communities. 

Is your family interested in 

history? 

My parents aren’t especially 

interested in history, but my 

uncles have researched our 

genealogy and history. My 

father’s family is from Lyttelton. 

They were quite well-known – 

Webb Lane was named after my 

family. There were three brothers 

and each of them served as 

mayor in Lyttelton over the late 

19th-century. It is really cool to 

go back and research the history 

of your family as part of your 

job. We’ve done a lot in Lyttelton 

but haven’t been physically on 

any of their properties. We have 

done work on one of their farms 

that they leased. 

What other hobbies do you 

have? 

I’m pretty heavily involved in 

bonsai at the moment, which 

is kind of still digging up old 

things – it’s just old trees. That’s 

my main other passion that isn’t 

archaeology. I go outside and 

spend time with my tree when I 

get home. Watering, re-potting, 

pruning, there’s a lot of work 

that goes with having a bonsai 

tree. I’m a member of the bonsai 

club. It’s quite a big thing in 

Christchurch, there are two 

bonsai clubs. We recently had a 

display at the garden show and 

it’s our club’s 50th anniversary 

this year. Otherwise, I’m a bit of 

a sci-fi fan, when I get time – I 

just finished Lost in Space.

5th Street 

Sydenham 

Food 

Atmosphere 

Decor 

Service 

We both knew from the awkward pause from the 

5th Street waitress we had done something very 

wrong indeed when we ordered. We had failed to 

understand how the menu worked. 

Now let me fetch a whiteboard and some visual 

aids while I try to explain this to you. 

The menu has “small, “medium” and” large” plates. 

Great, I hear you think, that means I can have a 

smaller meal while my friend chows down. 

Aha! No indeed. Small plates are starters. Large 

plates come with a “protein only” policy. To get 

veggies you need to order a medium plate, which 

we hadn’t done. 

The waitress explained it again, pleading us with 

her eyes to get it. She waited expectantly. 

I looked at the lad, he looked at me and we both 

looked at the waitress. She wasn’t going anywhere. 

I gave in first and ordered the $16 roasted baby 

carrots. 

To soothe our frazzled nerves, we took in the truly 

sumptuous decor, pleasant lighting and music. The 

venue is top notch. 

But to the food. I’ve put it off long enough. Oh 

dearie me. 

We are big fans of 5th Street’s sibling across the 

road, Hello Sunday, but the passion behind that food 

has not transferred across. 

The lad’s smoked brisket wontons with sriracha 

mayonnaise starter, $12, was bitter as the filling had 

burnt bits. There was no sriracha detected. 

I had fried chicken bites with wasabi mayonnaise. 

The batter was burnt and bitter. The chicken was 

almost non-existent and very overcooked. 

For main, he had venison with beetroot and 

butternut purees, $28. The lad being a chef, was 

gobsmacked this meal had been allowed to leave 

the kitchen. Overcooked was an understatement. 

But, of course, I said I would be able to deal to it, 

waste not want not and all that. In it popped and 

a battle ensued with the meat bouncing merrily 

around in my mouth, my teeth failing to get traction. 

It was the first time I have ever had to discreetly 

spit out food. We shared a couple of bites of my fish 

main, but abandoned it quickly. 

The spring carrots had gone through a terrible 

trauma and were shrivelled darkened shells of what 

they once were. 

We didn’t have the heart to order dessert - we 

were too stunned. We left after eating a wonton, two 

chicken bites, a carrot, a piece of venison and fish 

and paid $108. 

Oh dearie me indeed. 

When an establishment tries to be achingly hip, 

sometimes they miss what they are there to do. And 

that is to produce beautiful food.

New World Redcliffs 

stocking Fairlie pies 

Rooftop restaurant 

in the city 

A rooftop restaurant and bar could have one of 

the best views in the city when it opens on top of 

Cathedral Square’s Spark building next year. Spark will 

be the anchor tenant in the building at 2 Cathedral 

Square, which will open in August 2019. At a city 

council hearing last week, Spark head of South Island 

Paul Deavoll said the ground floor would have high 

end retail stores and hospitality. “The top level of the 

building’s got an outdoor hospitality space, effectively a 

rooftop bar and restaurant area and probably holding 

one of the best views you’ll get in the city.” He said it 

would face the north, with a good view for watching 

the Christ Church Cathedral’s redevelopment. 

Pie fans rejoice - Christchurch now has a 

third stockist of Fairlie Bakehouse’s pies. 

New World Redcliffs is now selling the 

award-winning pies so fans won’t have to 

drive over two hours to get their fix, not to 

mention having to wait in the line often 

stretching out onto the footpath. With 

flavours such as pork belly with apple sauce 

and crackling and bacon and salmon you’ll 

want to have a taste.

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

Not only can trees and shrubs provide numerous practical benefits 

like shade and privacy, but they are also a wonderful way to soften 

and transform unsightly spaces or views in the garden. 

When planting shrubs and trees, always use plenty of Daltons 

Compost and add in a Daltons Premium Planter Tabs to give them 

the best start. With existing trees and shrubs, make sure to regularly 

fertilise them to further enhance the health of the plant and its foliage. 

ANSWER 

QUESTION 

Being a rebuild in Christchurch 

we lifted, relocated and 

replanted to our new garden, 

all of our Buxus Sempervirens hedging on the same 

site. Over the summer some of the Buxus hedging have 

turned from a lush green to a rusty, orange colour, a few 

have died off. Can you tell us why this is happening and 

how to rectify this problem? 

Today’s winning question came from 

Cathie McGrath. Congratulations! 

It is quite likely that a combination of factors has led to the problems you have experienced 

with your transplanted Buxus Sempervirens. 

Firstly, there is what is termed “transplanting shock”. While Buxus can usually be successfully transplanted, if the 

young feeding roots dry out before the plant has become re-established, the foliage will often turn yellow, and then 

bronze. 

Secondly, if the plants become defi cient in nutrients, especially nitrogen, the foliage will slowly turn from dark 

green to matte green, and then eventually to bronze. 

Thirdly, while Buxus plants do not requires excessive watering, if they become dry over summer they will display 

the symptoms you describe. 

Do not be disheartened! Commence applications of a good quality, mostly nitrogen fertiliser such as Controlled 

Daltons Goldcote Landscape and Garden in mid-October and continue applying through to mid-December. 

Sheep pellets placed near the base of Buxus plants will also help promote strong growth and deep green coloured 

foliage.

Keep up to date with landscaping 

LANDSCAPING IS a wonderful 

pastime enjoyed by many. 

It provides a natural beauty 

and needs no ornaments or other 

attractive items to help achieve 

its magnificence. What it does 

need, however, is a little TLC from 

you and great ideas to keep the 

landscape design ever changing 

and up to date. 

Landscape design is an art that 

not only gives you the freedom to 

express yourself, but also makes 

your home more beautiful and 

inviting. There are many methods 

of landscape design to explore. You 

can trim your hedges or bushes in 

a decorative manner. For instance, 

you may want to cut every other 

hedge a foot shorter than the next 

to produce a rolling effect. 

You could also put a large 

decorative fountain in the middle 

of your yard. This is a costly 

option but, if you can afford it, 

looks gorgeous. 

If you are considering landscape 

design, or have already dabbled in 

it a bit, you know the importance 

of working with an experienced 

landscaper. 

For information on finding a 

professional in your area, check

FLYING: Inosi Nasiganiyavi needed 

just one touch of the ball against 

Shirley Boys’ High School on Saturday 

to show what kind of effect he can 

have on the rugby field. He is the 

brother of former Crusaders fanfavourite 

Nemani Nadolo. 


Disastrous World Cup reminder needs a coat of paint 

I’VE HAD some pretty 

embarrassing, premature 

moments in my time but surely 

none as embarrassing as the 

premature mural of former Kiwis 

coach David Kidwell on Lichfield 

St. 

I ventured into the central city 

on Tuesday night and couldn’t 

help but have a giggle when I 

spotted the imposing image of 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

the Hornby Panthers legend. I 

was under the assumption that it 

would have been removed after 

serving its purpose during the 

Rugby League World Cup. 

With the announcement of a 

new Kiwis coach, is it the right 

time to paint over Kidwell like 

we would a piece of unwelcome 

graffiti? 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great

ANOTHER 

Nadolo is 

emerging on the scene in 

Christchurch – this time at 

secondary school level – after scoring 

with his first touch of the ball in the 

UC Championship. 

Inosi Nasiganiyavi, the younger 

brother of Nemani Nadolo, arrived 

at Christ’s College from Queensland 

in January on a rugby scholarship. 

On Saturday, the winger scored 

his first try for his new school 

from 40m out after pouncing 

on a loose ball in midfield 

then beating two Shirley 

Boys’ High School defenders 

before crossing the line. 

“When I got the ball all I 

thought about was going for 

the corner . . . it was exciting 

at the time, I had a big smile 

on my face,” said Nasiganiyavi. 

His older brother played 

a big part in his move to 

Christchurch. Nasiganiyavi 

was invited to the city by 

Nadolo while he was 

playing for the Crusaders. 

Nasiganiyavi says 

he fell in love with 

Christchurch 

during the 

visit and had 

always planned 

to return. 

Another Nadolo 

looking mural and brought back 

memories of Kidwell’s famous 

knockout hit on Willie Mason 

during the 2006 Tri-Nations 

test against Australia. However, 

I couldn’t help but also be reminded 

of a man that appeared 

to lose the lockerroom in what 

was the most over-hyped, and in 

makes 

his mark 

“(My brother) plays a massive part 

in my decisions . . . if I’m ever second 

guessing myself, he’s someone 

I can always go to for 

advice,” said Nasiganiyavi. 

“My goal was 

to finish school 

in Aussie and 

then come to 

Christchurch 

and work my 

way up through 

club rugby, but I 

was lucky enough 

to get a scholarship 

at Christ’s College.” 

The brothers currently 

share different last names. However, 

it may not take long for that to 

change. 

Nadolo – formally Ratu Nasiganiyavi 

– changed his name to Nemani 

Nadolo as an adult, adopting his 

mother’s maiden name in 2009 

instead of the surname of his father 

who had left the family home when 

he was young. Nasiganiyavi also 

plans to change his last name to Nadolo 

when he turns 18 later this year. 

While the two may soon share the 

same surname, Nasiganiyavi says his 

style of play isn’t an exact mould of 

his brother. 

“I wish I was as big as him. He was 

lucky to get my mother’s side. My 

way of play is to run around them 

rather than through them. I’ve been 

working a lot on my footwork,” said 

Nasiganiyavi. 

the end under-whelming, display 

from a Kiwis side at a World Cup 

on home soil. 

The cynic in me wants to see it 

stay. League fans will remember 

Kidwell’s legacy with the Kiwis as 

a disaster, consisting of unlikely 

losses to Fiji and Tonga, a draw 

against Scotland and four straight 

losses to Australia resulting in a 

30 per cent win ratio. 

However, for an unsuspecting 

tourist venturing the streets of 

Christchurch, it would be easy to 

assume that Kidwell is some kind 

of god-like figure and mastermind 

of the code. 

For example, imagine a French 

The Queenslander knows he has 

plenty of learning to do if he wants 

to come close to achieving the cultlike 

status his brother held 

while scoring tries for fun 

in a Crusaders jersey. 

Nasiganiyavi is only 

in his second year of 

the 15-man game 

after playing league 

while growing up 

Brisbane. 

He says he has 

already been blown 

away by the emphasis 

put on perfecting the basics 

at training. Moving from a 

place where the 13-man game is king 

to a school that is coached by a former 

All Blacks captain in the form 

of Reuben Thorne has also been a 

shock to the system. 

“It sort of gives you goosebumps 

at first . . . my mum and my brother 

told me stories of watching him play, 

but he’s just a normal person at the 

end of the day,” said Nasiganiyavi. 

Much like his older brother, Nasiganiyavi 

also likes to play at centre 

and can be expected to spend time 

between there and on the wing during 

the UC Championship. 

His next chance to add to his families 

legacy in Christchurch comes

tourist who has come across the 

mural. They know that rugby is 

huge in New Zealand and have 

probably heard of Richie McCaw 

or Dan Carter. However, they 

haven’t seen a mural of them 

around town so who is this man? 

Is he some kind of sporting 

legend who accomplished great 

things in his sport? They must 

have erected this mural after 

some kind of whirlwind victory 

which brought great joy to the 

people of this town? 

You wouldn’t guess it was erected

You know, just in case things 

don’t go as planned.



Christchurch trio 

to take on world’s 

top golfers 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE NEW Zealand team for the junior 

golf World Cup will have a distinct 

Christchurch look to it when they tee 

off in Japan next month. 

Juliana Hung (Russley), Tom 

Parker (Christchurch) and Hiroki 

Miya (Russley) have been named 

in the seven-strong team alongside 

Aucklanders Carmen Lim and Rose 

Zheng, Kevin Koong from North 

Harbour and Shaun Campbell from 

Bay of Plenty. 

The selection comes on the back of 

what has been a remarkably successful 

12 months for the three Canterbury 

golfers. 

It will be Parker’s second time 

competing in the tournament. Last year 

he finished 24th overall and helped the 

New Zealand boys team to finish sixth. 

“It’s my favourite event I’ve ever 

played in,” said Parker. 

“The course layout is awesome. It’s 

perfectly manicured, narrow with 

either tree trouble or out-of-bounds 

either side so you’ve got to hit it 

straight.” 

After finishing his final year at 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

in 2017, Parker has been able to 

concentrate on his game before 

beginning college at the University of 

Oregon in the United States. With a 

strong support unit around him, he’s 

confident of a good result in Japan. 

“I feel like going back there this time 

I have extra confidence. . . . I’ve been 

there before and will be doing a few 

things differently this time around,” 

said Parker. 

He will be joined in the four strong 

boys team by Miya, who is having a 

year to remember after the biggest win 

of his young golfing career at the Faldo 

Series Asia grand final in Vietnam in 

March. 

“I’m really excited. I think we have a 

really strong team and have an opportunity 

to do really well,” said Miya. 

Hung will look to continue a strong 

run of results in New Zealand and 

abroad when she represents the girls 

team. The New Zealand stroke play 

champion is currently representing 

New Zealand at the Queen Sirikit Cup 

– Asia-Pacific amateur ladies golf team 

championship in Thailand. 

The junior golf World Cup will feature 

15 men’s and nine women’s teams. 

The tournament runs from June 10-15 

at the Chukyo Golf Club Ishino course. 

Having three Christchurch golfers 

named in the team is a rare accomplishment 

and a strong sign of a talented 

young crop of golfers emerging in the 

region. 

“We are very proud of the achievement 

to have Juliana, Tom and Hiroki 

selected to represent New Zealand at 

the junior World Cup event, it’s quite a 

remarkable achievement. These players 

have worked hard to earn their selection 

in this team and will gain valuable 

international experience amongst some 

of the best junior players in the world,” 

said Canterbury Golf development 

manager Rachel Thow. 

Juliana Hung

in brief 

Under-21 hockey 

champions 

The Canterbury under-21 

women’s hockey team have won 

the national age-group title 

with a 3-0 win over Auckland. 

Goals from Hayley Cox, Margot 

Willis and Emily Wium helped 

overturn the 3-1 loss Canterbury 

suffered to Auckland in poolplay. 

Canterbury midfielder 

Georgie Mackay-Stewart was 

named tournament MVP. The 

Canterbury men under-21s 

finished fourth after a 2-1 loss to 

Auckland in the bronze medal 

game. 

Water polo team 

defend title 

The Canterbury premier men’s 

water polo team have successfully 

defended their tier-two national 

title in Wellington. The team 

beat Harbour City 13-6 in the 

final and went undefeated in the 

tournament, winning all five of 

their games. 

Surf lifesaving finalists 

named for big night 

The finalists for the 2018 Surf 

Life Saving Canterbury-Tasman 

Awards of Excellence have been 

announced ahead of the awards 

ceremony in Christchurch on 

May 19. Louis Clark (Taylors 

Mistake) and Xyron Burns (North 

Beach) are both nominated for 

sportsperson of the year. Sports 

team of the year will be contested 

between Sumner’s under-16 board 

relay team, Taylors Mistake’s open 

men’s taplin team, North Beach’s 

under-19 women’s surf boat 

team, Waimairi’s open women’s 

canoe team, New Brighton’s open 

women’s surf boat and Nelson’s 

under-20 women’s IRB team. 

Cashmere Tech focus 

on Chatham Cup run 

• By Gordon Findlater 

AFTER PUTTING themselves 

in the driver’s seat to claim their 

fifth Mainland Premier League 

title in eight years, Cashmere 

Technical now turn their 

attention to New Zealand’s most 

historic footballing trophy. 

Round one of the Chatham 

Cup starts this weekend. Cashmere 

put themselves on the national 

stage in 2013 by winning 

the cup for the first time, before 

successfully defending it in 2014. 

In each campaign since, 

Cashmere have been defeated 

at either the quarter-final or 

semi-final stages, twice by the 

eventual competition winners. 

On Saturday, they will face 

Nomads. Cashmere took the 

honours 4-3 when the teams met 

in the MPL last month. 

“We had trouble against them 

last time and only got the result 

late . . . we will be ready for this 

one,” said Cashmere coach Dean 

Hutchinson. 

At the weekend, Cashmere 

doubled their lead at the top 

of the MPL standings with a 

dominant 5-1 win over defending 

champions Ferrymead Bays. 

They scored five unanswered 

goals in a 40min spell, courtesy 

of Lyle Matthysen Andy Tuckey, 

Sam Field, Max Chretien and 

Gary Ogilvie. 

“It was very pleasing. We’ve 

been building after a busy period 

and losing a few guys with injury 

. . . it was good to see everything 

come together,” said Hutchinson. 

Cashmere now have 26 points, 

six clear of Bays, with Coastal 

Spirit on 19.

Moulai on track to world champs 

• By Jacob Page 

MIDDLE-DISTANCE runner 

Nick Moulai has run himself 

into a promising future. 

The 18-year-old former St 

Bede’s College student is on 

the cusp of running for New 

Zealand in the 1500m at the 

junior world championships 

in Finland, and will then take 

up a four-year scholarship at 

Mississippi State University in 

the United States. 

Moulai has made the 

qualifying time for Finland but 

so have Isaiah Priddey, Samule 

Tanner and Theo Quax, son of 

former middle-distance great, 

Dick Quax. 

With only two places up 

for grabs, Moulai will have to 

earn his spot with fast times 

in a couple of prelude races in 

Europe. 

“There’s a lot of quality 

runners at the moment, which is 

exciting, but I just have to focus 

on my preparation and hope that 

goes well.” 

“Life is pretty busy but it’s 

FAST: Papanui middledistance 

runner Nick

future ahead of him.

about managing my time, my 

training on the roads, and my 

rest and recovery,” Moulai said. 

The former surf lifesaver and 

sprinter came to middle-distance 

running six years ago, and 

has been coached by Graeme 

Christey ever since. 

Their partnership will end 

when Moulai takes up his 

scholarship in the US. 

The talented teen recently went 

for a training run with Kiwi 

Olympic silver medallist Nick 

Willis, who took time to share 

some advice, 

“Nick said every runner is 

working hard and putting the 

training in, but it’s more about 

the little two per cent things 

you do that can turn you from a 

good runner to a great runner,” 

Moulai said. 

“Things like getting nine hours 

of sleep, doing your stretches, 

and prioritising recovery all 

make a big difference.” 

Moulai said he was eager 

to test himself in the US at an 

NCAA division one school. 

“The quality of runners over 

there is incredible,” he said. 

“There are 10 guys running 

between 3min 36sec and 3min 

44sec so it’ll be great to be 

around that culture.”

Johnson sidelined – Lino will be the Warriors main man 

MASON LINO will again 

become the main man for the 

Warriors on Saturday. 

Shaun Johnson has been sidelined 

for the fourth time in what 

has been an injury-interrupted 

season so far. He will miss the clash 

against the Roosters at Mt Smart 

Stadium due to an ankle injury. 

The star halfback was always 

an unlikely starter – and will 

probably be touch-and-go for the 

following week’s trip to Parramatta. 

However, Lino has already 

proved himself a capable deputy 

this season. 

The 24-year-old Lino will 

make his fourth appearance of 

2018, after previously filling in at 

No 7 against the Roosters, North 

Queensland and Melbourne. 

But while Johnson is out, there 

is good news for the two other 

high profile players also injured 

last Saturday. 

Issac Luke has been named at 

hooker, in spite of dislocating his 

shoulder in the 26-4 win over the 

Tigers while Adam Blair is also 

expected to start, in spite of an 

ankle complaint. 

“Adam is fine and will play,” 

said Warriors head coach Stephen 

Kearney. 

“We gave Issac every chance to 

play last week after injuring his 

knee against Melbourne and he 

came through. Once again, we’ll 

give him every opportunity this 

week.” 

While Blair is a certainty, Luke 

appears less likely. He has had a

long history of shoulder dislocations 

in his career and there will 

be a temptation to make sure 

he is fully healed, given his long 

term importance to the team. 

There will also be confidence 

in Karl Lawton’s ability to deliver, 

after his stunning two try cameo 

appearance against the Tigers.

LET OUR COURTESY VAN COME TO YOU



THE WARATAHS are at the top 

of a very slippery slide in Super 

Rugby and the only thing that 

can stop them lurching down 

head first is belief and composure, 

according to five-eighth 

Bernard Foley. 

Having fallen short against 

the weakest New Zealand team, 

the Blues, on Saturday night, 

the Waratahs are heading into a 

three-week block of Kiwi opposition. 

First the defending champions 

the Crusaders in Christchurch 

on Saturday, then the Highlanders 

at home and the Chiefs in 

Hamilton. 

It could spell disaster for NSW 

given their failure to convert to 

points the lion’s share of possession 

and territory at Brookvale 

Oval, the Sydney Morning Herald 

reported. 

But Foley believes his team can 

avoid a massacre by believing in 

themselves and each other. 

“A lot of it’s composure, backing 

the system and what we’ve 

trained. Even if you feel unfulfilled 

the first time, you go back 

and do it the second time,” he 

said. 

“You don’t try to solve it on 

your own. Teams are too good 

now in Super Rugby to allow individuals 

to go out there and win 

matches. You’ve got to back the 

guys around you, the 14 other 

teammates on the field, and that’s 

how we’ll get the win.” 

It might be two years since the 

Waratahs last beat a New Zealand 

team but Foley and a number 

of senior players remember 

what regular victories feel like. 

The Waratahs accounted for 

the Crusaders, Hurricanes and 

Blues on the way to the knockout 

rounds in 2015 and they 

notched a four-game streak 

against Kiwi opposition in their 

march to the 2014 title. 

Fresh off a 55-10 demolition 

of the Rebels, the Crusaders sit 

atop the competition ladder this

confidence, skill and their trademark 

quality up front. 

“Their pack’s littered with 

All Blacks so they’re a sound 

team. And off the back of that 

forward pack, that really won the 

competition last year,” Foley 

said. 

“For us it’s setting the platform, 

really matching them. Our team’s 

definitely shown that the forward

have that fight.”

Volvo paves way 

for electric power 

• By Ross Kiddie 

IT’S NOT something I 

normally do, take a vehicle 

out for a 45min evaluation. 

In the normal scheme of 

things, evaluation cars 

are made available for a 

minimum of three days. 

However, I made an 

exception given the Volvo 

XC60 T8 was an extension 

of the two XC60 drives I 

had had over a fortnight. 

There’s only one thing 

better than getting a 

chance to evaluate a new 

car, and that’s having two 

or three experiences in 

much the same model. 

This evaluation focuses 

on the entry-level, petrolfuelled 

model, which I 

drove after a week with 

a high-spec diesel, that 

evaluation was published 

in these columns in 

January. 

The T8 experience was 

something different again, 

for it is a petrol/electric 

plug-in hybrid and that 

short drive, mostly in pure, 

electric-only mode, was 

certainly an indication of 

how good Volvos will be 

when the company focuses 

on hybrid and electric 

technology after 2019. 

I’d be lying if I said I 

preferred the hybrid over 

the fossil fuel power, but 

it will certainly appeal to 

those who want to do their 

bit for the environment, 

it is a sport utility vehicle 

that will do all that is asked 

of it in the normal manner 

befitting that concept. 

All that aside, the T8’s 

petrol engine, which 

sits beside the electric 

motors, is much the same 

as that which powers the 

T5. Sure, there’s a major 

fundamental difference, 

hybrid technology aside, 

the T8 is supercharged and 

turbocharged, the T5 is 

sans supercharger. 

Nevertheless, the latter 

is still rated with a 187kW 

and 350Nm power output 

and it is a real gem in 

terms of refinement. It is 

hushed and smooth in its 

delivery, the latter is no 

surprise, transmission is 

through an eight-speed 

automatic and the free 

flowing power delivery is 

remarkable, drive through 

the gearbox is seamless. 

If you also take into 

account the areas of 

where power and torque 

are delivered – 5500rpm 

and 1500-4800rpm – 

modern turbocharging 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

VOLVO XC60: High values for safety and comfort. 

techniques account for 

decisive throttle response. 

All of that comes without 

dramatic use of fuel. Volvo 

rate the T5 with a 7.3-litre 

per 100km/h (39mpg) 

combined cycle average. 

That sits well with the 

8.8l/100km (32mpg) figure 

during my time with the 

evaluation car. That, along 

with a 6l/100km (47mpg) 

instantaneous figure at 

100km/h. 

• Price – Hyundai 

Kona Elite, $36,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4165mm; 

width, 1800mm; 

height, 1565mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1999cc, 

110kW, 180Nm, 

six-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.2l/100km 

On the subject of figures, 

the T5 is also quite quick. 

It will lunge to 100km/h 

from a standstill in 6.8sec 

and will make a highway 

overtake in 4.5sec to make 

120km/h from 80km/h. 

As part of my routine 

drive route I took the T5 

inland to the Rakaia Gorge 

incline. While the basespec 

doesn’t get the 21in 

tyres of its stablemates, I 

was hugely impressed 

with the quiet-riding 

nature of the 19in 

Michelin rubber on the 

test car. Accuracy into 

a corner is direct, while 

feedback is well supplied 

to the driver. 

The T5 is also well 

balanced, even without the 

fabulous air suspension of 


the D5 and T8, the secure 

feeling you get through the 

four-wheel-drive network 

provides the series with 

an involving handling 

sensation. 

It must be said, however, 

the omissions on the T5 

don’t mean it is much 

less of a vehicle, Volvo 

has long had a reputation 

for building specification 

into its models and the T5 

doesn’t miss out on a lot. 

It is still the vastly capable, 

safe and well-optioned 

SUV that sits well in the 

luxury/prestige part of 

the market at $84,900. For 

interest’s sake the R-Design 

D5 and T8 both list at 

$94,900. 

That being the case, I’d 

be tempted by the base 

petrol-powered model, it 

is a stunner in terms of 

sophistication and it looks 

after those on board with 

much luxury and comfort. 

Also, as a driver, you are 

very much part of the 

vehicle such is the way it 

involves you as part of the 

driving experience. 

The XC60 as a series is 

the quintessential SUV, 

but it is also a range that 

delivers something quite 

special in each individual 

model. Each offers the 

buyer a lot of vehicle for 

the outlay. 

In terms of what was my 

favourite, I’d be lying if I 

didn’t say I preferred the 

diesel D5 R-Design, but 

that’s not taking anything 

away from the base model 

car, nor the hybrid, all are 

spectacular. 

The XC60 as a series 

is so good, in fact, I find 

it just a little saddening 

that in a few short years 

production of those 

fabulous Volvo internal 

combustion engines won’t 

be quite so prolific.

Home heating – 

electricity, gas or wood? 

How you heat your home depends on 

a number of factors. Figuring out the 

best way to heat your home continues 

to be a matter for debate. 

Several things are undisputed. A 

warm, dry home is essential for comfort 

and good health, good insulation 

dramatically increases the efficiency of 

any heating system and ventilation is 

an important consideration. 

Most homes are heated by electricity, 

gas, or wood. In New Zealand, heating 

accounts for approximately 30 percent 

of a home’s annual energy consumption. 

There are many things you can do to 

reduce consumption and cost. 

The World Health Organisation 

recommends a temperature of 18 deg C 

for indoor living areas, and slightly less 

for bedrooms. It recommends slightly 

higher temperatures for vulnerable 

people – the elderly and small children. 

Studies have shown that indoor 

temperatures below 12 degrees can 

disrupt sleep. 

Among all these considerations, 

how you heat your home is a matter 

of personal choice, with many options 

available. 

Heat pumps are generally the most 

common and cost-effective form of 

home heating in New Zealand. Used 

properly, they heat quickly and are 

convenient. However, you need to have 

the right sized unit for the area and 

they don’t work when electricity is not 

available. They tend to be room-specific 

but ducted heat pumps are becoming 

more popular and are cost-effective, 

especially in new builds, but can also 

be installed into established homes. 

Modern wood burners may be the 

closest you can get to an open-fire feel, 

but are much more efficient. Wood is 

generally a renewable fuel, and if you 

have a cheap or free supply, a wood 

burner may be the least expensive 

heating option. They heat large areas 

and are not dependent on electricity 

but there is the chopping and stacking 

to be done, flues need to be cleaned 

regularly and older models can 

contribute to air pollution and 

may violate strict air quality 

regulations – www.mfe.govt. 

nz has detailed information 

regarding this. 

Pellet fires are typically more 

efficient than wood burners but can

NEW LISTINGS 

have a smaller output. They require 

electricity but some have a battery 

backup and they are thermostatically 

controlled with timers. These must 

comply with regulations which are 

also detailed on the Ministry for the 

Environment website. 

Gas heating is common and 

convenient. Central heating systems 

can be zone controlled and provide 

warm air circulation. Flued gas heaters 

are best, as unflued and portable gas 

heaters produce lots of moisture and 

emit pollutants that can be unsafe. 

Flued gas heating systems can be 

installed in most homes. They are fast 

heating and are relatively inexpensive 

to run. However gas is not a renewable 

resource and prices can vary widely. 

The greatest source of energy is 

actually free. Harnessing the sun can 

dramatically reduce heating costs and 

is the most environmentally friendly 

way to heat your home. Passive heating 

combines insulation with good design, 

accomplished more effectively in new 

builds but also able to be incorporated 

into existing homes. 

Getting the sun’s warmth into 

your home is a function of the 

design; keeping it in is a function of 

the insulation. There is a wealth of 

information online as passive heating 

becomes normative in the design and 

building industry. 

Websites such as energywise.govt. 

nz and smarterhomes.org.nz have 

comprehensive information on and 

tips for, heating your home in the 

colder months.

are publicly notified. 

Instead of advertising these in the public notice section 

of local newspapers, we will publish information on a 

dedicated webpage, located on ccc.govt.nz/alcohol. 

The webpage will be live from 16 April 2018 for all 

alcohol licence public notices. Please note there will be 

a month’s transition period for public notices already 

arranged by applicants for newspaper publication. 

By advertising on the same webpage each time, 

people will know where to go to look for licence 

application notice and details about public objection 

timelines. Public notifications will still be for 15 

working days, but you will be able to view on the 

webpage recent notices beyond that time. 

This is consistent with the requirements of the Sale 

and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. 

You can still view application documents in person at 

Council offices. 

To find out more about how alcohol licence applications 

are publicly notified, give us a call on 941 8999 or 

0800 800 169.

In partnership with

CAREERS EXPO 2018 

CHRISTCHURCH 10-12 MAY - Horncastle Arena 

Choosing the right 

career path is not easy! 

Youth need guidance on transition 

from school to jobs 

Thousands of young people attending the 

Christchurch Careers Expo over the next few 

days will be looking to their future transition 

from school into the world of work. 

This is where the Careers Expo presents 

an unparalleled opportunity to connect 

directly with those most able to provide 

guidance and information needed to make 

informed choices for the journey ahead. 

There are skills shortages aplenty in New Zealand. 

The economy is tracking well, yet statistics show 

that a lot of young people are still not finding 

work, with unemployed aged between 15 and 24 

at unacceptably high levels. 

Director of the Careers Expo Mark Gillard, does 

not believe that these people aren’t interested 

in work; he believes the problem stems from the 

crucial transition between school and the workforce. 

Pointing to international research carried 

out by the UK’s Employers and Schools Taskforce 

Mr Gillard explains that there needs to be 

an increase in interaction between businesses 

and young people, when young adults are still at 

school. 

“Their research entitled “It’s who you meet” 

found that students from all demographics benefitted 

from early interaction and engagement with 

business, being considerably less likely to end up 

without a job, outside of training or education” . 

Each year around 160,000 Kiwi secondary school 

students (years 10-13) make decisions about their 

careers and life after school, such as where and 

what to study and what they want to achieve in 

life. These are huge decisions for young people, 

and the more information we can provide to help 

make the best choices at this time the better. 

Being able to talk to someone ‘on the job’ or from 

an industry body can help clarify many of the questions 

that sit around the transition into the work 

force - What is it really like to work in a particular 

sector? What are the costs of training? How long 

will it take and will there be a job for me at the end 

of my training? 

Connecting with tertiary training organisations, 

industry groups and future employers, is so important 

for young people to do. It is never too early 

to start thinking about their future and take advantage 

of the opportunity to connect directly with 

future employers. 

The Careers Expo and The World of Work provide 

the ideal opportunity for young people and their 

families to scope out the wide range of opportunities 

that exist, and to talk about future plans.
