Sinister<br />
con man<br />
may<br />
feel<br />
wrath<br />
of gangs<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A CON man who tells his<br />
intended victims he will harm<br />
their families if they don’t pay up<br />
may face a bigger problem than<br />
the law – gangs.<br />
Police have received 19 complaints<br />
from Christchurch people<br />
targeted by the sinister scam. It<br />
involves phone<br />
calls and texts to<br />
victims who are<br />
told the caller is<br />
from the Mongrel<br />
Mob, Highway 61<br />
or Black Power.<br />
Pay up or your<br />
family members,<br />
including elderly<br />
parents, will be<br />
attacked, the caller says.<br />
Greg<br />
Newbold<br />
But it appears the con man is<br />
not connected to the gangs, just<br />
using their names to put fear into<br />
the intended victims.<br />
Canterbury University criminologist<br />
Greg Newbold said yesterday<br />
the gangs would be “filthy”.<br />
“All I can say is he’s got a death<br />
wish,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y will be absolutely p***ed<br />
off. Anybody who impersonates<br />
a gang member is committing a<br />
serious crime against the gang.”<br />
Prof Newbold said the perpetrator<br />
could get a “hiding” for that<br />
alone.<br />

Experienced food operators<br />
to open in new library<br />
Food lovers and coffee connoisseurs are in for a treat<br />
when the new central library, Tūranga, opens its doors<br />
later this year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> $92 million public library – set to become the<br />
most modern in the southern hemisphere – will feature<br />
an array of high-tech learning experiences, as well as<br />
a new café and espresso bar split between its ground<br />
and first floors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> venues, both called Foundation, will be jointly<br />
operated by <strong>The</strong> Catering Belle owner Ruth Trevella and<br />
current part-owner of Linwood’s popular Under the Red<br />
Verandah Amanda Heasley.<br />
City council head of libraries and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said good food and coffee were another<br />
reason for people to get excited about Tūranga’s<br />
opening later this year.<br />
“We’re very excited to have Ruth and Amanda on<br />
board. <strong>The</strong>y have significant local experience and a<br />

shared vision for Tūranga as a people-first space, filled<br />
with creativity, learning and new experiences.”<br />
Ms Trevella said she and her team were looking<br />
forward to Turanga opening.<br />
“We see the café as an extension of the world-class<br />
facility that Tūranga aims to be – a source of pride for<br />
Christchurch, promoting the regeneration of our city. I<br />
feel very privileged to be playing a part in that, and I’m<br />
looking forward to offering residents and visitors a taste<br />
of the best Canterbury has to offer.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> five-storey facility, which is being built on the<br />
corner of Cathedral Square and Gloucester St, will be<br />
the largest public library in the South Island.<br />
It will have a technology and innovation zone,<br />
cafeteria, a 200-seat community arena, activity rooms,<br />

Driver survives 200m plunge above Corsair Bay<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A DIAMOND Harbour<br />
woman was driving towards<br />
work in Lyttelton yesterday<br />
morning when she skidded<br />
and crashed into a lamp post<br />
before plunging 200m down<br />

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel’s<br />
former campaign secretary says<br />
ratepayers shouldn’t fork out<br />
hundreds of millions of dollars<br />
for a stadium.<br />
Aaron Campbell, who is now a<br />
community board member, suggested<br />
the Canterbury or New<br />
Zealand Rugby Football Union<br />
“could sell a few bangers on the<br />
barbeque outside Bunnings” to<br />
help raise funds.<br />
Mr Campbell said at a Long<br />
Term Plan submission hearing<br />
last week the partly city councilfunded<br />
multi-use arena would<br />
put the already cash-strapped<br />
city into debt.<br />
A stadium with 33,000 seats<br />
is estimated to cost about $500<br />
million.<br />
Greater Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan Woods<br />
said last month a business case<br />
for the new stadium had been<br />
fast-tracked.<br />
Ms Dalziel said the city council<br />
has budgeted $253 million<br />
for the project, but the funding<br />
won’t be available until 2022.<br />
However, she said the city<br />
council might consider moving<br />
the project forward in the LTP.<br />
Mr Campbell was Ms Dalziel’s<br />
campaign secretary during the<br />
build up to the 2016 local body<br />
elections.<br />
He was also co-campaign<br />
manager for Christchurch<br />
Central MP Duncan Webb last<br />
a wooded bank above Corsair<br />
Bay.<br />
She was the only occupant of<br />
the vehicle and escaped with<br />
minor injuries.<br />
Lyttelton Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade chief fire officer Mark<br />
Buckley said his firefighters<br />
year, who took the seat from<br />
National’s Nicky Wagner in the<br />
general election.<br />
Mr Campbell ventured into<br />
politics for the first time in 2016<br />
and is now deputy chairman<br />
of the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board.<br />
He won’t rule out standing for<br />
a seat on the city council in the<br />
future.<br />
“What I’ve learnt the most<br />
within the community board<br />
is just how interesting it really<br />
is. I am really enjoying not just<br />
had assisted the woman out of<br />
her vehicle.<br />
“Luckily she was able to walk<br />
from the accident scene up the<br />
coastal track to the white gates<br />
where she was treated by St John<br />
ambulance staff.”<br />
He said the vehicle appeared<br />
to have lost control on the<br />
corner after overnight rain<br />
left the road surface wet and<br />
greasy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> accident occurred on<br />
Park Tce, between Brittan<br />
Tce and Cressy Tce, at about<br />
7.45am.<br />

WHO’S PAYING: An artist’s impression of the proposed multi-use arena which Aaron<br />
Campbell (inset) doesn’t believe ratepayers should have to fork out for.<br />
what’s happening in the ward<br />
but going out into other areas of<br />
Christchurch.”<br />
He is calling on the city<br />
council to run a full feasibility<br />
study encompassing venue and<br />
events-specific analysis, project<br />
management, accountability and<br />
procurement options, as well<br />
as identifying operating and<br />
management structures for the<br />
arena.<br />
“I would ask for you to<br />
consider building a covered<br />
stand arena with a futureproofed<br />
design, that will allow<br />
for a roof to be built in perhaps<br />
10-15 years.”<br />
Mr Campbell mentioned the<br />
public outcry over Ed Sheeran<br />
skipping Christchurch to city<br />
councillors.<br />
He said to avoid future lost<br />
opportunities like this, it could<br />
“use $35-50 million to extend<br />
Horncastle Arena to the size<br />
of Auckland’s largest indoor<br />
venue,” he said.<br />

City fuel prices reach record high<br />
Consumers<br />
warned cost of<br />
food could rise<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
UNITED STATES president<br />
Donald Trump is being blamed<br />
for the record high price in the<br />
city’s petrol.<br />
Yesterday, some Christchurch<br />
service stations were charging<br />
$2.299 a litre for 91 octane petrol,<br />
the record high which was<br />
reached on Friday, while others<br />
are charging slightly less $2.259.<br />
Infometrics economist Brad<br />
Olsen said the main reason was<br />
President<br />
Trump’s recent<br />
dealings<br />
in Iran.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> main<br />
driver is the<br />
overseas price.<br />
Brad Olsen<br />
West Texas<br />
Intermediate<br />
crude oil has<br />
shot up over the last couple of<br />
days and that’s largely because<br />
Trump and Iran has shaken up<br />
the playing field,” Mr Olsen said.<br />
President Trump announced<br />
last week that the US was walking<br />
away from the Iran nuclear<br />
deal organised between Russia,<br />
the United Kingdom, France,<br />
China and the US in 2015.<br />
Yesterday, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> tweeted<br />
President Trump for reaction. He<br />
did not respond.<br />
Fuel prices in the city hit<br />
the record high on Friday.<br />
Yesterday there were reports<br />
of stations on Waiheke Island<br />
charging $2.51 a litre and $2.45<br />
in Wanaka.<br />
In Auckland, prices were between<br />
$2.07 and $2.17 a litre.<br />
Mr Olsen said Christchurch<br />
was hit harder than Auckland<br />
due to the “Gull-effect,” caused<br />
by the introduction of the low<br />
priced Gull petrol stations in<br />
2013.<br />
He said there was also a lack of<br />
competition between stations in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
And relief is not in sight.<br />
“We can’t really pick when<br />
they’ll go back down or if they’ll<br />
go back down . . . it will be interesting<br />
to see how prices change<br />
and regional discrepancies,” Mr<br />
Olsen said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been calls for the<br />
Government to address the issue.<br />
Minister of Energy and<br />
Resources Megan Woods said<br />
it is “very concerning” that<br />
Cantabrians are paying so much<br />
for petrol and it was clear the<br />
market is “not functioning as it<br />
should be.”<br />
“Obviously international<br />
events and the declining New<br />
Zealand dollar will have some<br />
role to play, but our focus is that<br />
people are paying a fair price,”<br />
she said.<br />
Dr Woods said the law is being<br />
changed to give the Commerce<br />

Commission<br />
the power to conduct market<br />
studies and compel the release of<br />
evidence to work out why petrol<br />
south of Wellington was much<br />
higher.<br />
Mr Olsen said it would have<br />
the biggest impact on lower<br />
income families, who would<br />
have to change their budgets<br />
drastically or change the way<br />
they travel.<br />
Red Bus chief executive Paul<br />
McNoe said it had not noticed<br />
an immediate increase in patronage.<br />
“But it is possible. <strong>The</strong> further<br />
it goes up and the longer it stays<br />
that high. It depends on people’s<br />
preference and their tolerance<br />
for prices. We’re always happy<br />
to welcome new customers,” he<br />
said.<br />
New Zealand Taxi Federation<br />
Canterbury president Stan Gane<br />
said the industry was “massively”<br />
impacted, but was not considering<br />
putting prices up.<br />
“We’ve changed most of the<br />
fleet in Christchurch to hybrid<br />
and are keeping prices as low as<br />
we possibly can, but every cent<br />
that fuel goes up is less wages<br />
and less groceries for staff,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Olsen said consumers<br />
could also expect to feel the<br />
brunt of petrol prices as freight<br />
companies would raise prices for<br />
retailers, who would likely pass it<br />
on to customers.<br />
“Largely we’ll see it in food<br />
prices. It will be interesting to<br />
see how much retailers put it up<br />
because consumers are going to<br />
get pretty annoyed with having<br />
to pay more for fuel as well as<br />
goods.”

• By Julia Evans<br />
WEEKENDS AWAY, nights<br />
out, vegetables and meat – the<br />
pinch at the pump is causing<br />
Christchurch residents to<br />
tighten their budgets and make<br />
sacrifices.<br />
On Tuesday <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> visited<br />
Linwood to see how people were<br />
affected.<br />
David Gaskell said he had<br />
noticed his weekly petrol bill<br />
increase to $40.<br />
“It hasn’t been too bad yet, but<br />
we’re starting to tighten up on<br />
the little things.”<br />
Mr Gaskell said his family was<br />
spending more time at home.<br />
“We definitely don’t go out as<br />
much as we used to,” he said.<br />
When asked if he had noticed<br />
the hike in the price of petrol,<br />
Eruera Reuben simply pointed at<br />
the fuel light on the dashboard<br />
of his car.<br />
“Look, it’s on empty. It’s on E<br />
a lot now.”<br />
Mr Reuben said he puts $20 in<br />
“here and there” so he was not<br />
getting as far as he used to.<br />
“I’ve just been trying to get the<br />
vege garden going so we can stop<br />
buying veges . . . I love steak, but<br />
we can’t get that any more.”<br />
Community worker Hana Kakoi<br />
said fuel price is one of the<br />
“hottest topics” at the Bromley<br />
Community Centre.<br />
But Ms Kakoi said it’s not a<br />
“big deal” for her family yet. “It<br />
just means we save less.”<br />
Fay Ward shook her head and<br />
said her family was having to<br />
“skimp” on groceries. “<br />
“<strong>The</strong> price of petrol is terrible.<br />
Kiefer Bailey<br />
‘It’s on empty. It’s on E a lot now’<br />
We don’t get out the same . . .<br />
because we just can’t afford it,”<br />
she said.<br />
Samantha Lawrence said it<br />
was a “balancing act.”<br />
“It’s gone from $40 a week,<br />
to $60 a week and we live on a<br />
weekly budget so that means<br />
$20 less.”<br />
“We can’t cut down on internet<br />
or power so it’s usually<br />
groceries,” she said.<br />
Kiefer Bailey said the price<br />
hike was “unfair.”<br />
“I’ve noticed the increase in<br />
Christchurch only. How does<br />
that work?”<br />
Mr Bailey he said he could<br />
cope with the prices, but that<br />
wasn’t the same for everyone.<br />
“I’ve heard this is the highest<br />
it has ever been so if it keeps going<br />
up, then yeah, that’s going to<br />
be a worry.”<br />
How to save money on fuel<br />
•Make sure your tyres are<br />
inflated correctly. <strong>The</strong><br />
Automobile Association<br />
found incorrect tyre pressure<br />
uses nearly eight per cent<br />
more fuel.<br />
•Avoid rush hour. Turning<br />
your engine off if you’re stuck<br />
in traffic for longer than<br />
30 seconds is better than<br />
keeping the car running<br />
according to the AA, and<br />
the Motor Trade Association<br />
recommends planning<br />
ahead to run errands during<br />
off-peak times.<br />
•Don’t speed. According to<br />
the MTA, fuel consumption<br />
increases by about six per<br />
cent for every 10km/h faster<br />
you travel over 90km/h.<br />
•Keep your load light. <strong>The</strong><br />
more weight in your car<br />
means more petrol is needed<br />
to propel it.<br />
•Use your air conditioner,<br />
but only when necessary.<br />
Opening your windows to<br />
cool the car down is actually<br />
less fuel efficient than using<br />
the A/C because it creates<br />
drag. However, blasting<br />
the A/C or leaving the back<br />
window demister on after<br />
they’ve done their job is an<br />
unnecessary drain on fuel.<br />
•Take care of your car.<br />
Regular service could reduce<br />
your fuel consumption by up<br />
to 20 per cent<br />

Democratic return for ECan<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ENVIRONMENT Canterbury<br />
will return to full democracy<br />
next year.<br />
And Canterbury University<br />
political scientist Bronwyn<br />
Hayward said it was great news<br />
to put an end to<br />
the “travesty” of<br />
democracy.<br />
Local Government<br />
Minister<br />
Nanaia Mahuta<br />
and Environment<br />
Bronwyn<br />
Hayward<br />
Steve<br />
Lowndes<br />
Minister David<br />
Parker confirmed<br />
yesterday the<br />
return to democracy<br />
will happen<br />
during local<br />
body elections in<br />
October next year,<br />
ECan chairman<br />
Steve Lowndes<br />
said.<br />
It will have been<br />
10 years since the<br />
former National Government<br />
got rid of ECan councillors,<br />
including now Minister of<br />
Conservation Eugenie Sage and<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board member Jo Kane, in 2009.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were replaced by seven<br />
Government-appointed commissioners<br />
in 2010. In 2016,<br />
seven councillors were elected<br />
and five were appointed commissioners.<br />
“This is a textbook<br />
case about how badly a Government<br />
can manage a disaster, I<br />
think it’s something we’ll look<br />
back on and be deeply ashamed<br />
by . . . I hope it never happens<br />
again. It never should have<br />
happened in the first place,” Dr<br />
Hayward said.<br />
She said it makes financial<br />
sense to hold the election in the<br />
regular cycle. “It would be very<br />
expensive to have it now,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mr Lowndes said although<br />
during its campaign Labour<br />
said ECan would be restored as<br />
soon as possible, ministers had<br />
to be mindful of how long the<br />
transition would take.<br />
“And of the timetable associated<br />
with ECan undertaking<br />
the representation review,<br />
allowing time for consultation<br />
and any subsequent appeals to<br />
be resolved prior to the election<br />
lead-up,” he said.<br />
Work on returning the body<br />
to a fully-elected regional council<br />
has started.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposal for how Canterbury<br />
will be represented<br />
and how many councillors<br />
will be elected in each ward –<br />
Christchurch, Mid Canterbury<br />
BACK: ECan<br />
will return<br />
to a full<br />
democracy<br />
in next year’s<br />
local body<br />
elections.<br />
and North Canterbury – will be<br />
agreed during the June 21 meeting,<br />
Mr Lowndes said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> initial proposal will be<br />
made available for public consultation<br />
before hearings and a<br />
final proposal being agreed by<br />
council,” he said.<br />
“We are also exploring the<br />
opportunity to continue mana<br />
whenua representation around<br />
the council table after the 2019<br />
elections.”<br />
Dr Hayward said the only<br />
“bright spot” in the “sorry<br />
saga” was that there was now<br />
representation from Ngai Tahu<br />
around the ECan table.<br />

Bus route re-think after outcry<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused<br />
a re-think over plans to cut bus<br />
routes around the city.<br />
Environment Canterbury staff<br />
prepared an “alternative option”<br />
to the proposal in its draft Long<br />
Term Plan that would axe the<br />
six lowest performing bus routes<br />
following “overwhelming” public<br />
opposition, a spokeswoman<br />
said.<br />
ECan announced<br />
in<br />
February it<br />
was considering<br />
cutting<br />
the 107, 108,<br />
135, 145,<br />
150 and 535<br />
David Caygill<br />
routes to plug<br />
a $4 million<br />
funding<br />
shortfall. <strong>The</strong> news prompted<br />
outrage.<br />
A new proposal would save the<br />
107 Styx Mill and 145 Westmorland,<br />
but their routes will change<br />
and go into the CBD.<br />
A service from Prestons to QE<br />
II would be made of a combination<br />
of the 135 Burwood Hospital<br />
and 150 <strong>The</strong> Palms routes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new service would not go to<br />
New Brighton.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 108 route will be absorbed<br />
into an extended version of the<br />
28 Papanui to Lyttelton service.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 535 Rapaki route would<br />
still be cut. However, the 28<br />
route would also extend to<br />
service Rapaki three times in the<br />
morning and evening respectively.<br />
Councillors have asked for<br />
staff to further consider the best<br />
solution for the 535.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plan would be funded by<br />
a 2.5 per cent increase in fares<br />
annually for the next three years,<br />
starting in July.<br />
Said councillor David Caygill:<br />
“It became very clear from<br />
the submissions that almost<br />
everybody does not want us to<br />
abandon the services.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were 781 submissions on<br />
the draft LTP, with the majority<br />
of those on public transport<br />
options.<br />
He said that the new proposal<br />
should also see an increase of<br />
patronage on the services.<br />
“In many ways this is the<br />
outcome we were most hoping<br />
for,” he said.<br />
ECan senior manager<br />
public transport Stewart<br />
Gibbon said if approved, the<br />
changes would come into effect<br />
in October.<br />
Other options to plug the<br />
CUTS:<br />
Environment<br />
Canterbury<br />
has found an<br />
alternative to<br />
cutting bus<br />
routes across<br />
the city.<br />
funding shortfall involved a<br />
reduction of the total mobility<br />
subsidy and/or an increase in<br />
fares – but all options involved<br />
discontinuing the lines.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision now lies in<br />
the hands of councillors who<br />
will approve the final LTP in<br />
June.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council, Canterbury<br />
District Health Board and<br />
service operators Red Bus were<br />
among the chorus of voices<br />
calling for ECan to reconsider<br />
stopping the services.<br />
Bus patronage has not fully recovered<br />
following the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
Con man may<br />
face wrath<br />
of gangs<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Prof Newbold: “It’s pretty<br />
audacious, he obviously doesn’t<br />
care too much about his safety.<br />
He’s pretty reckless and he’s<br />
going to get caught.”<br />
One victim was told to pay<br />
$1000 or the Black Power would<br />
burn his house down and harm<br />
his family. <strong>The</strong> con man says they<br />
are watching the victims’ families<br />
and elderly parents.<br />
A police spokeswoman said<br />
this week it has “positive lines of<br />
inquiry” as to who the con man<br />
was. She would not reveal any<br />
more.<br />
Some victims have said the<br />
scam was “terrifying”, and believed<br />
the perpetrator had found<br />
their contacts through newspaper<br />
adverts and Trade Me.<br />
Sociologist and leading gang<br />
researcher Jarrod Gilbert said<br />
gangs would be “utterly outraged”<br />
about their names being<br />
used. “<strong>The</strong>y would see it in terms<br />
of a copyright infringement. If<br />
they caught the person doing<br />
that, they would take action<br />
against them and their means of<br />
doing that would be of a different<br />
form that would probably include<br />
violence, or a tax.’’<br />

Moves to flush out<br />
chlorine taste, smell<br />
New<br />
Black<br />
Round<br />
Combo<br />
$259<br />
CITY COUNCIL contractors<br />
have started flushing pipes in<br />
areas most affected by the smell<br />
and taste of chlorine.<br />
<strong>The</strong> move comes in response to<br />
feedback to the city council that<br />
people in some parts of the city<br />
are experiencing the effect more<br />
than others.<br />
“In addition to flushing the<br />
pipes, staff are working with the<br />
health authorities to explore how<br />
we can reduce the amount of<br />
chlorine being added into the water<br />
supply,” said general manager<br />
city services David Adamson.<br />
He explains that the amount<br />
people notice the smell and taste<br />
can, among other things, depend<br />
on how close they are to the<br />
pump station. Different pump<br />
stations are used depending on<br />
demand so you may not be getting<br />
water from the one closest<br />
to you.<br />
Another factor is the condition<br />
of the pipes. “Chlorine reacts<br />
with a variety of naturally occurring<br />
materials in the pipe.<br />
It’s this reaction that can cause<br />
the variation in smell and taste<br />
in some areas and that’s why<br />
we’re flushing pipes in the worstaffected<br />
areas.” Mr Adamson said<br />
filling an open jug and keeping it<br />
in the fridge would help remove<br />
the chlorine.<br />
“You need to keep lids off<br />
containers so the chlorine can<br />
evaporate over time.”<br />
People with health issues that<br />
are experiencing increased symptoms<br />
should contact their GP.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> council has authorised<br />
chlorination for up to 12 months<br />
and we’re making good progress<br />
on understanding the extent<br />
of work that needs to be done<br />
so we can reduce and stop adding<br />
chlorine to our water supply.”<br />

Chch could become a space base<br />
• By Kurt Bayer<br />
SCIENTIFIC FORAYS into<br />
the frosted wilds of Antarctica<br />
could unlock further mysteries<br />
of the universe and help put a<br />
man on Mars, with post-quake<br />
Christchurch uniquely situated<br />
as an ice and space base, a<br />
visiting NASA scientist said<br />
yesterday.<br />
While space may be the final<br />
frontier, as <strong>Star</strong> Trek’s narrator<br />
opined, the White Continent of<br />
Antarctica, where few men have<br />
gone before, is providing a fertile<br />
research ground for advancing<br />
space exploration and extraterrestrial<br />
worlds.<br />
Studies into the hostile, barren,<br />
cold and dry landscape,<br />
along with cutting-edge testing<br />
transport methods and technologies<br />
to support human life and<br />
growth, and astronaut training<br />
camps, are some of the benefits<br />
of having a presence on the ice,<br />
according to NASA’s Zaheer Ali.<br />
“With its topography, geography<br />
and weather, it has so many<br />
advantageous features,” says Mr<br />
Ali, science and mission operations<br />
laboratory supervisor for<br />
the Stratospheric Observatory<br />
for Infrared Astronomy (Sofia), a<br />
highly-modified Boeing jetliner<br />
that is the world’s largest flying<br />
observatory.<br />
“When we go to other worlds,<br />
they are going to be dry and<br />
cold. We can compare snow and<br />
ice dunes in Antarctica to similar<br />
geological features on Mars.<br />
Those types of analogues are<br />
very important because we can<br />
do that research here on earth.<br />
<strong>May</strong>be we don’t solve it, but we<br />
can build a set of knowledge that<br />
can help us inform research on<br />
extra-terrestrial works.”<br />
Mr Ali is in Christchurch<br />
preparing the Sofia’s winter<br />
night-flying expeditions, which<br />
from next month will again<br />
EXPLORING: Zaheer Ali is in Christchurch as part of a<br />
NASA team studying the centre of the Milky Way.<br />
study the skies of the Southern<br />
Hemisphere.<br />
Flying at an altitude of between<br />
12km and 14km, putting<br />
it above 99 per cent of the earth’s<br />
infrared-blocking water-vapour<br />
layer, the Sofia studies a range<br />
of astronomical objects and<br />
phenomena, including the life<br />
cycle of stars, formation of new<br />
star systems, black holes, nebulae<br />
and interstellar dust, complex<br />
molecules and the planets,<br />
comets and asteroids in our solar<br />
system.<br />
Mr Ali says Christchurch is<br />
well-positioned to provide access<br />
to the Galactic Centre – the rotational<br />
centre of the Milky Way<br />
– at a time of year when viewing<br />
conditions in the Northern<br />
Hemisphere are poor.<br />
“Having access to Antarctica<br />
and the Galactic Centre also<br />
provides us with unique science<br />
cases to explore solutions for<br />
space research,” Mr Ali says.<br />
Mr Ali will be speaking<br />
at Extreme Environments –<br />
from the Antarctic to Space, a<br />
Techweek’18 event in Christchurch<br />
today, bringing together<br />
local, national and international<br />
experts to help explain how<br />
exploration in the Antarctic is a<br />
dry run for space studies.<br />
ChristchurchNZ chief executive<br />
Joanna Norris says the<br />
rebuilding city – one of only five<br />
global Antarctica gateways –<br />
could already support a future<br />
space industry, with world-class<br />
high-tech component manufacturers<br />
and tech companies,<br />
schools with space programmes,<br />
higher level training of rocket<br />
guidance systems, and regulatory<br />
bodies that monitor New<br />
Zealand and international<br />
airspace.<br />
Mr Ali said the research<br />
projects operating through<br />
Christchurch will lead to things<br />
that could “change the world.”<br />
“You don’t go up with the goal<br />
every night but I think for all of<br />
us who are scientists or engineers<br />
there is that sense in the back<br />
of your mind that there could<br />
be something right around the<br />
corner that changes everything.”<br />

CUT: <strong>The</strong> East Lake proposal was not one of the options shortlisted by Regenerate Christchurch.<br />
Top – Bosbaan Lake, Amsterdam. Above – Poznan, Poland.<br />
Lake plan gets gold medal support<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
OLYMPIC GOLD medallist<br />
Nathan Cohen has got behind<br />
an attempt to keep the proposed<br />
international watersports lake in<br />
the red zone afloat.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former New Zealand rower<br />
spoke before city councillors last<br />
week of the benefits the East Lake<br />
would bring to the city, based on<br />
his experiences competing overseas<br />
at similar venues.<br />
He said it would become a<br />
point of connection for the community.<br />
“Sometimes the people on the<br />
lake are outnumbered by the<br />
people who use the surrounding<br />
lake for a whole lot of engaging<br />
activities, not just direct watersport<br />
use.”<br />
Cohen, a Member of the New<br />
Zealand Order of Merit, spoke<br />
as part of the East Lake Trust’s<br />
submission on the draft Long<br />
Term Plan, alongside chairman<br />
David Goodman.<br />
It came after Regenerate<br />
Christchurch did not include<br />
the proposal in its shortlist of<br />
options for the red zone citing<br />
environmental reasons.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust’s vision would see<br />
the $160 million multi-sport lake<br />
built out of the Avon River from<br />
Kerrs Reach to Horseshoe Lake,<br />
which could host international<br />
events.<br />
EXPERIENCED: Olympic gold medal-winning rower Nathan Cohen says the East Lake<br />
would be a community asset and a better facility than Kerrs Reach for watersports.<br />

A petition pleading for Regenerate<br />
to reconsider has gained<br />
more than 4600 signatures.<br />
Cohen likened the East Lake<br />
proposal to the Bosbaan Lake,<br />
10min from central Amsterdam,<br />
Poznan in Poland, and Dorney<br />
Lake in Eaton, where he had<br />
trained and competed.<br />
“When you’re out training,<br />
there’s plenty of people out for<br />
their morning walk or their<br />
morning run around the lake<br />
– even the likes of rollerblading<br />
and all different forms of<br />
exercise.”<br />
He said lakes also attracted<br />
picnics, socialising, exercise, and<br />
hospitality outlets.<br />
Regenerate Christchurch said<br />
instead of developing East Lake,<br />
the Avon should be upgraded<br />
to its pre-quake condition or<br />
widened.<br />
It said an in-river lake would<br />
be subject to algal blooms,<br />
while an out-of-river one would<br />
prevent stormwater treatment<br />
needed to improve Horseshoe<br />
Lake.<br />
It said to keep an out-of-river<br />
lake clean would require 43<br />
million litres of water to be<br />
extracted from the deep water<br />
aquifers daily.<br />
But Mr Goodman said Regenerate<br />
had never raised those concerns<br />
and they did not align with<br />
the trust’s research, which found<br />
it would require less than three<br />
per cent of the aquifer water.<br />
He said the East Lake would be<br />
an economic generator and they<br />
would not give up.<br />
Mr Goodman said the trust<br />
had requested a meeting with<br />
greater Christchurch regeneration<br />
minister Megan Woods.<br />
He asked city councillors to<br />
show leadership.<br />
“Ask the question why? What<br />
happened? This lake was on the<br />
books, it was going to make the<br />
exhibition for all money and<br />
then suddenly it got chopped<br />
off.”<br />
Mr Goodman said double<br />
Olympic gold medal-winning<br />
sculler Mahe Drysdale was keen<br />
to talk to city councillors but<br />
could not make it down from<br />
Cambridge in time.<br />
Drysdale put the trust onto<br />
Cohen, he said.<br />
Cohen and double sculls partner<br />
Joseph Sullivan won gold at<br />
the 2012 London Olympics, and<br />
back-to-back gold medals in the<br />
double sculls at the 2010 and<br />
2011 World Rowing Championships.<br />
Regenerate Christchurch’s<br />
exhibition with the shortlisted<br />
options for the red zone begins<br />
on Saturday.<br />

Bid to boost<br />
uptake of flu<br />
vaccination<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE CANTERBURY District<br />
Health Board is targeting specific<br />
groups in a bid to beat a deadly flu.<br />
Chief executive David Meates<br />
said a new website, www.flufree.<br />
co.nz, is part of the targeted<br />
campaign to increase vaccination<br />
uptake.<br />
It comes as Cantabrians could<br />
be in the firing line for a deadly flu<br />
strain, A H3N2, which is dubbed<br />
the Aussie flu and was an epidemic<br />
in Europe and the United States.<br />
“We particularly want to reach<br />
the key groups that are funded to<br />
receive free flu shots – over 65s;<br />
pregnant women; people under 65<br />
with long-term health conditions,<br />
children with respiratory illness,”<br />
Mr Meates said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CDHB also wants to increase<br />
uptake in young people “as they<br />
are excellent germ spreaders,” and<br />
parents.<br />
“Maori and pacific people (especially<br />
over 65s) who commonly have<br />
lower vaccination rates,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CDHB has distributed more<br />
than 115,000 doses of the vaccine this<br />
season – compared with 105,000 at<br />
the same time last year.<br />
Stepping up for stressed kids<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
DANCING WITH <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>s<br />
co-host and well-known<br />
comedian Dai Henwood<br />
is about to do his bit for<br />
Canterbury children stressed<br />
by earthquakes.<br />
Henwood is recording voiceovers<br />
for six webinars titled<br />
Stress Inside Out which are<br />
based on comparative research<br />
from Canterbury University<br />
associate professor Kathleen<br />
Liberty, with assistance from<br />
Christchurch teachers Liz Mc-<br />
Naughton and Brie Liberty.<br />
It is an animation project organised<br />
by the Neighbourhood<br />
Trust which focuses on stress<br />
and anxiety in children, as a<br />
result of the earthquakes.<br />
“I am really glad to be<br />
involved in such a positive<br />
project that’s going to be a great<br />
resource for the kids of the<br />
Christchurch earthquakes,”<br />
Henwood said yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> project will examine biological<br />
issues within children,<br />
brought about by more than<br />
22,000 earthquakes experienced<br />
in Canterbury.<br />
<strong>The</strong> six 90sec webinars (seminar<br />
conducted over the internet)<br />
Kathleen<br />
Liberty<br />
Ginny<br />
Larsen<br />
will focus on how chronic stress<br />
affects children, the behaviours<br />
as a result and strategies on how<br />
to deal with it.<br />
Wellington scriptwriter Vincent<br />
Konrad and Christchurch<br />
animator Tom Linklater will<br />
use “chatty, everyday language”<br />
and imagery to show how the<br />
RESOURCE: Six webinars voiced by Dai Henwood will<br />
focus on stress and anxiety in children as a result of the<br />
Canterbury earthquakes.<br />
accumulation of stress can lead<br />
to bursting point.<br />
Neighbourhood Trust manager<br />
Ginny Larsen hopes the<br />
webinars will help people understand<br />
that the behaviours are<br />
not the fault of the children or<br />
their parents.<br />
“A lot of parents are taking on<br />
blame . . . a lot of the old strategies<br />
to deal with behaviour don’t work<br />
because the children are not in<br />
control of their actions and in actual<br />
fact it’s a biological response.”<br />
Funding is being provided<br />
from the Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board as well as the<br />
Ministry of Social Development,<br />
city council and the <strong>The</strong> Tindall<br />
Foundation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> webinars will be made<br />
available online through Facebook<br />
and in schools around<br />
November.<br />

mother, Judge Carolyn Henwood,<br />

Workers hours cut at Wendy’s<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A CHRISTCHURCH Wendy’s<br />
employee who campaigned<br />
against the fast food giant<br />
doesn’t know how she’ll survive<br />
after her hours have been cut.<br />
Wendy’s, has 23 outlets in<br />
New Zealand, including one in<br />
Hereford St and in Hornby.<br />
In a memorandum sent<br />
to Unite Union members<br />
on Tuesday, Wendy’s chief<br />
executive Danielle Lendich said<br />
due to its collective agreement<br />
with Unite Union expiring,<br />
union members would now be<br />
rostered 80 per cent as their<br />
guaranteed hours.<br />
Unite Union delegate and lieu<br />
day campaigner, Rose Williams,<br />
says the fast food giant is pushing<br />
employees out the door.<br />
“It’s damn hard trying to live<br />
off what the hours are going to<br />
be now,” she said.<br />
Mrs Williams said employees<br />
can put their name down for<br />
additional hours but they’re not<br />
guaranteed.<br />
Unite Union is now considering<br />
strike action after what it<br />
believes to be “intimidating”<br />
behaviour.<br />
“This is a vicious attack on<br />
the very limited income these<br />

workers already receive,” union<br />
director Mike Treen said.<br />
Ms Lendich told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> it<br />
was not targeting Unite Union,<br />
rather the union was targeting<br />
Wendy’s.<br />
“We have been warning Unite<br />
that the collective would expire<br />
for the last month. <strong>The</strong>y chose<br />
not to understand the impact of<br />
this on their members,” she said.<br />
In the memo, Ms Lendich<br />
said it’s still bargaining with the<br />
union for a collective agreement<br />
and it would offer 100 per cent<br />
guaranteed hours if the rest of<br />
its offer is agreed to.<br />
No decision yet whether liquor decision will be appealed<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
LIQUORLAND IS considering<br />
whether to appeal a decision<br />
that rejected its application to<br />
open a store in Phillipstown<br />
after the community rallied to<br />
stop it going ahead.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district licensing committee<br />
declined the Liquorland<br />
application to operate a bottle<br />
store on the corner of Ferry and<br />
Aldwins Rds.<br />
Liquorland has until <strong>May</strong> 30<br />
to appeal it.<br />
Chief executive Brendon<br />
Lawry said Liquorland was<br />
“disappointed” with the<br />

committee’s decision and<br />
was considering its options<br />
regarding an appeal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision came after<br />
objections by health officials,<br />
residents, police and nearby<br />
Linwood College.<br />
<strong>The</strong> application came from<br />
Steve Crotty and Michael Scott,<br />
who also own Liquorland<br />
Riccarton. <strong>The</strong>y said the store<br />
would also service Ferrymead to<br />

In its decision, the committee<br />
acknowledged the pair had more<br />
than 20 years of experience and<br />
their systems and staff training<br />
were of a high standard.<br />

App to keep<br />
cyclists safe<br />
goes to schools<br />
A CYCLE-safety app developed<br />
by students is about to roll out to<br />
120 schools across the city.<br />
Ara Bachelor of ICT students<br />
Elysse Mower and Rosy Wan<br />
developed an app, Cycle Safe<br />
Smart Maps, that generates cyclesafe<br />
maps, identifying hazards to<br />
devices.<br />
“We had been commissioned<br />
to develop the proof of concept<br />
web application for the cycle-safe<br />
programme, which they run in<br />
schools to teach children how<br />
to cycle safely on the road,” Ms<br />
Mower said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> app identifies the<br />
safest cycle route to and from<br />
destinations around the city<br />
for the city council’s cycle safe<br />
programme.<br />
Cycle Safe Smart Maps can be<br />
accessed anywhere or anytime<br />
and is designed to be edited by the<br />
facilitators of the programme in<br />
real time.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> instructors can view the<br />
app through the web page and use<br />
an editor toolbar,” Ms Wan said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> app was launched as part of<br />
the Smart Cities Innovation Expo<br />
on Monday, showcasing interactive<br />
technology exhibits by local<br />
and national innovators.<br />

Support to<br />
extend free<br />
parking<br />
initiative<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
HUNDREDS HAVE thrown<br />
their support behind extending<br />
the central city’s first hour free<br />
parking initiative.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has received<br />
about 520 submissions on the<br />
topic after asking for feedback.<br />
Just under 400 of those supported<br />
extending the initiative,<br />
while 97 did not support it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> remainder were mostly in<br />
support of the plan but had some<br />
concerns.<br />
In November, the city council<br />
started trialling the offer of an<br />
hour of free parking in six of its<br />
off-street car parks to entice people<br />
back into the central city.<br />
It has since sought feedback<br />
on a plan to extend the initiative<br />
from July 1 in the Lichfield St and<br />
Art Gallery car parks.<br />
Many submitters said it did entice<br />
them back to the central city<br />
and often meant they would stay<br />
for longer knowing they would be<br />
charged less for parking.<br />
Extending the initiative would<br />
reduce the city council’s revenue<br />
by about $400,000 a year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reduction has not been<br />
budgeted in the draft Long Term<br />
Plan, so city councillors will need<br />
to decide whether to do so as part<br />
of the process.<br />
It would require a 0.1 per cent<br />
rate increase.<br />
Some submitting against the<br />
idea said the offer encouraged<br />
people to use their vehicles, rather<br />
than public transport or walking<br />
or cycling.<br />
Cycling advocacy group Spokes<br />
Canterbury said there was a lack<br />
of cycle parking in the central<br />
city. It said the $400,000 per<br />
annum would be better spent on<br />
that.<br />
It costs motorists $2.80 an hour<br />
to park in the Lichfield St car park<br />
from 6am-6pm every day.<br />
Bid to be best of the bad jokes<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
“I REMEMBER back to<br />
those sweet mornings in the<br />
Netherlands – those were the<br />
hollandaise.”<br />
Brandon Wyatt did not<br />
expect his self-proclaimed bad<br />
jokes like that would win him<br />
Saturday’s regional pun battle<br />
championship semi-final.<br />
Mr Wyatt, a 23-year-old IT<br />
security engineer, who lives in<br />
the central city, said he thought<br />
all his puns were “trash” before<br />
he turned up at<br />
the bar, A Rolling<br />
Stone.<br />
But that didn’t<br />
stop him taking<br />
out the competition<br />
against 20<br />
others.<br />
“I entered last<br />
year, but the first time it was just<br />
a total crash and burn,” he said.<br />
Mr Wyatt said he doesn’t care<br />
about embarrassing himself, so<br />
he would give it another go.<br />
“We were supposed to bring<br />
a pen and paper for round two,<br />
but I didn’t bother, I didn’t think<br />
I would make it that far.”<br />
He scraped his way through<br />
first round – a head-to-head pun<br />
battle.<br />
“It was three strikes and you’re<br />
out, I only had one left.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>n it was a short story<br />
competition to cram in as many<br />
puns in as possible and the<br />
third round was a “Caruso-off”<br />
‘One of them was<br />
a barista. I said<br />
Caucasian male,<br />
looks like he’s been<br />
crushed by a steam<br />
roller. Looks like he’s<br />
a flat white.’<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A LARGE piece of art that was<br />
once suspended above Cashel<br />
Mall is set to return, though it is<br />
not yet known when.<br />
Neil Dawson’s Sky Lens used<br />
to hang next to Shades Arcade<br />
but was removed after the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge said the art<br />
named after actor David Caruso,<br />
famous for one liners on the<br />
television show CSI: Miami.<br />
“One of them was a barista. I<br />
said Caucasian male, looks like<br />
he’s been crushed by a steam<br />
roller. Looks like he’s a flat<br />
white.”<br />
It was that level of humour,<br />
which won Mr Wyatt a trophy.<br />
He said he couldn’t quite believe<br />
it when they read out his name.<br />
Though Mr Wyatt said puns<br />
get a bad wrap.<br />
“It’s harder than<br />
it sounds. I like to<br />
tell myself it takes a<br />
really smart person<br />
to tell puns. I’ve also<br />
been asked if I’m<br />
a father before because<br />
I tell so many<br />
dad jokes.”<br />
A second semifinal<br />
will be held at A Rolling<br />
Stone on July 14, with the<br />
regional final where Mr Wyatt<br />
will compete for a cash prize in<br />
September.<br />
Organiser George Fowler<br />
said there was “well over” 100<br />
entrants in the nationwide competition.<br />
He is in the process of<br />
organising a national final – but<br />
plans had not been confirmed.<br />
Until then, Mr Wyatt said he<br />
will be working on developing<br />
even worse jokes and testing<br />
them out on his family, girlfriend<br />
and colleagues.<br />
“I practice every day, by making<br />
bad jokes every day.”<br />
was currently stowed in a secure<br />
city council facility.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> intention is to return it to<br />
Cashel Mall.”<br />
He said a time frame had not<br />
yet been established to do so.<br />
Mr Rutledge said Sky Lens was<br />
taken down and put into storage<br />
for safe keeping when the buildings<br />
it was suspended from were<br />
severely damaged.<br />
He said one of the lugs one of<br />

Willie returns to QE II<br />
ONE OF the first lifeguards at<br />
the old QE II pool is returning to<br />
its replacement to run a club for<br />
swimmers aged over 50.<br />
Willie Pitama, 67, started<br />
work at QE II pool on February<br />
9, 1974, a week after the Commonwealth<br />
Games were held at<br />
the complex.<br />
Forty-two years ago he<br />
founded <strong>The</strong> QE II 50 Plus and<br />
Early Bird Club and now he is<br />
re-establishing it at the $38.6<br />
million Taiora: QE II Recreation<br />
and Sport Centre when it opens<br />
at the end of the month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> club will meet on Monday,<br />
Wednesday and Friday mornings<br />
from 6.30am to 9.30am, and<br />
the first get-together will be on<br />
June 6.<br />
“It’s like coming back after I’ve<br />
been away on a holiday. It just<br />
feels the same,” Mr Pitama said.<br />
Mr Pitama developed the<br />
idea as a young lifeguard after<br />
seeing a need for a social group<br />
for older swimmers. At its peak<br />
the club had 300 members, but<br />
since the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake the numbers had<br />
dwindled to a core group of 30<br />
who still meet for lunch once a<br />
month and hold annual Christmas<br />
parties.<br />
Club co-ordinator Shirley<br />
BACK TO IT: Shirley Forbes and Willie Pitama are excited to<br />
hold the QE II 50 Plus and Early Bird Club at the new Taiora: QE<br />
II Recreation and Sport Centre. <br />
Forbes, who is 81 and still goes<br />
to the gym and aqua jogs, said<br />
it’s a great time for new members<br />
to join.<br />
She and her husband Bruce<br />
became regular members of the<br />
50 Plus and Early Bird club after<br />
they retired.<br />
<strong>The</strong> oldest member of the<br />
group is 97 and still swims 30<br />
lengths three times a week at<br />
Graham Condon Pool and Recreation<br />
Centre. Another eight<br />
members used to car pool from<br />
Kaiapoi so they could swim<br />
together at QE II.<br />
Group formed from<br />
Denton Park battle<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
THE BATTLE to save Denton<br />
Park from having a mega-facility<br />
built there has prompted the<br />
establishment of a residents<br />
association.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Greater Hornby Residents<br />
Association, which already has<br />
about 60 members, will have its<br />
first official meeting on Sunday.<br />
Treasurer Ross Houliston said<br />
anyone was welcome to attend<br />
the meeting at Hornby Rugby<br />
Club Rooms at 2pm.<br />
On Monday, the city council<br />
hearing panel recommended<br />
Denton Park’s classification<br />
should not be changed, meaning<br />
the $35.7 million customer<br />
service, library, recreation and<br />
sports facility could not be built<br />
there.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision will need to be<br />
ratified by the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board.<br />
Mr Houliston said the Save<br />
Denton Park Group prompted<br />
the association, chaired by Marc<br />
Duff, to be formed because it<br />
would allow better communication<br />
with the city council.<br />
“We’ve got to have a voice. We<br />
need the association so everything<br />
comes through us.”<br />
Mr Houliston said the association<br />
would continue to lobby for<br />
the facility to be built in Hornby,<br />
and focus on other issues such<br />
as upgrading the Wycola Park<br />
skatepark, and flooding issues on<br />
Shands Rd.<br />
<strong>The</strong> association’s meetings<br />
would be held on the last Friday<br />
of every month.<br />

Shaking hands after going toe-to-toe<br />
BLOKES BASH each other up<br />
on the league and rugby field, or<br />
in the boxing ring, shake hands<br />
at the end of it and move on.<br />
Like back in the 80s when<br />
league hard men Kevin Tamati<br />
and Greg Dowling had a big<br />
sideline blue (below) after being<br />
sin-binned during a hard<br />
transtasman test.<br />
A week or so later they caught<br />
up and had a beer.<br />
It’s called being a male. Most<br />
of us of this ilk can move on<br />
from such encounters.<br />
What I am getting at you may<br />
ask?<br />
A great tale involving one of<br />
Canterbury’s real hard men, the<br />
late Fergie McCormick.<br />
I bumped into a retired policeman<br />
I know a couple of weeks<br />
ago, who happened to be talking<br />
to another retired policeman, I’ll<br />
call policeman No 2.<br />
I was introduced and the conversation<br />
got around to<br />
McCormick’s recent funeral.<br />
Policeman No 2 then proceeded<br />
to tell of an incident many<br />
moons ago.<br />
He was new to Christchurch<br />
and was on patrol in the central<br />
city with his partner when they<br />
spotted an empty car idling near<br />
the intersection of Cashel St and<br />
Manchester St.<br />
It was in the days when very<br />
little was open late at night in the<br />
central city. So the car was regarded<br />
as being very suspicious.<br />
“Stolen and abandoned,” the<br />
two cops thought.<br />
Policeman No 2 got out of the<br />
police vehicle and went over to the<br />
car. He then heard a gate rattling<br />
at the nearby Cantabrian pub.<br />
“Burglary in progress,” he thought.<br />
In he goes, grabs the ‘burglar’<br />
and a huge late night scrap in the<br />
dark ensues. Kicking, punching,<br />
and a baton across the back of<br />
the swede in a bid to apprehend<br />
the ‘offender.’<br />
View point<br />
Barry Clarke<br />
It would be one of the fiercest<br />
scraps of his policing career.<br />
No quarter was given by either<br />
in a bid to get the upper hand.<br />
Policeman No 2 was going to get<br />
his man; and the man in question<br />
wasn’t giving up.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n in the street light the policeman<br />
noticed the ‘burglar’ was<br />
middle-aged and wearing a white<br />
shirt and tie. Clearly not a burglar.<br />
Policeman 2 broke away.<br />
“Didn’t you see I was wearing a<br />
uniform,’’ policeman No 2 said<br />
or something to that effect in<br />
exasperation.<br />
“Don’t you know who I am?,”<br />
came the blunt response or<br />
something to that effect.<br />
It was Fergie McCormick, former<br />
rugby legend and publican<br />
of the Cantabrian, doing a few<br />
late night chores. Policeman No<br />
2 was from Wellington and had<br />
no idea who he was.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n McCormick landed his<br />
coup de gras. Bang, bang. Two<br />
hammer-like punches were<br />
delivered to policeman No 2, and<br />
a verbal response from McCormick<br />
to the effect – “you started<br />
it, I’m finishing it.”<br />
Typical McCormick.<br />
A few days later McCormick<br />
made noises about laying a<br />
complaint against policeman No<br />
2. His colleagues at the central<br />
police station, rugby mates of<br />
McCormick, urged him to go<br />
and talk to him at the Cantabrian<br />
and square things up.<br />
He wouldn’t have a bar of it.<br />
But one night policeman No 2<br />
HARD MAN:<br />
Fergie<br />
McCormick<br />
was a force to<br />
be reckoned<br />
with on and off<br />
the field.<br />
got stitched up by his colleagues at<br />
the police bar and they drove him,<br />
worse for wear, to the Cantabrian,<br />
where McCormick was waiting.<br />
No punches were traded, no<br />
nasty verbals, but a shake of<br />
the hands and McCormick and<br />
policeman No 2 became good<br />
mates from then on.<br />
As it should be.<br />

Opinion<br />
Partnership driven by what people want<br />
OVER THE years, I have heard<br />
from many people in Canterbury<br />
about the disconnect they have<br />
felt between central Government<br />
and the way the recovery has<br />
been handled down here in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
I know too well the sense<br />
that people in Wellington make<br />
decisions for those of us here<br />
on the ground – and that has<br />
driven a lot of my thinking<br />
around how to best make change<br />
and to ensure we’re working<br />
for Cantabrians since being<br />
appointed minister.<br />
Speaking at a post-Budget<br />
breakfast with the mayor on<br />
Monday really reaffirmed to me<br />
the progress that we have made in<br />
this area.<br />
<strong>The</strong> partnership between the<br />
Crown and the city council is<br />
crucial to ensuring that our city<br />
moves towards the incredible<br />
Politics<br />
Megan Woods<br />
future it is capable of.<br />
After just six months in office,<br />
I am excited to see first-hand<br />
the difference that the strength<br />
of this partnership can have<br />
with successes such as the Metro<br />
Sports Facility and the overflow<br />
parking at Christchurch Hospital.<br />
Working in partnership with<br />
local leaders such as the mayor<br />
ensures that we are driven by<br />
what local people want and that<br />
we involve them in our plans to<br />
make things better. This<br />
approach is how we will tackle<br />
the delivery of the much-needed<br />
stadium.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next steps for the stadium<br />
will see the formulation of a<br />
procurement strategy between<br />
the city council and crown.<br />
We want to both maximise<br />
opportunity and also the lessons<br />
that have been learned around the<br />
delivery of major projects.<br />
Part of those steps will also<br />
include a project governance<br />
framework that will ensure that<br />
the interests of Cantabrians have<br />
a voice as we move through the<br />
initial stages and head to the<br />
market to seek expertise and<br />
experience in how we can get this<br />
project delivered.<br />
This will be a true partnership<br />
between the city council and<br />
Crown – and I look forward to<br />
achieving real progress together.<br />
•Megan Woods is the<br />
Minister of Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Readers react to last<br />
week’s article which<br />
revealed ChristchurchNZ,<br />
the city council’s<br />
economic, tourism and<br />
major events agency, had<br />
spent $10,000 to have<br />
a mural of former Kiwis<br />
coach David Kidwell<br />
painted in the innercity<br />
in the build-up to<br />
the failed World Cup<br />
campaign<br />
Peter Banens – What a<br />
waste of money. $10,000 for a<br />
mural of former Kiwis coach<br />
David Kidwell. Who is Kidwell?<br />
And why wasn’t a local artist<br />
considered? This would have<br />
been cheaper.<br />
Gary Knight – As the<br />
controversy over the mural<br />
of former Kiwis coach David<br />
Kidwell evolves as a platform<br />
of debate and forum of opinion<br />
a sense of reality must prevail.<br />
Having been commissioned for<br />
murals of Prince and NBA star<br />
Steven Adams bears testimony<br />
to the acclaim of artist Graham<br />
Hoete. However, this tribute to<br />
Kidwell being ratepayer-funded<br />
should have surely been inclusive<br />
of both public consultation also<br />
selection from a myriad of local<br />
street artists to paint the mural<br />
for a cost far below $10,000.<br />
However, within this context,<br />
many not in the sporting fraternity,<br />
having never heard of<br />
David Kidwell would consider<br />
the actual process an obscene<br />
eradication of ratepayer-funding.<br />
Lyn Escott – I was, quite<br />
frankly, appalled to read in <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong> that ChristchurchNZ had<br />
paid $10,000 to have a mural<br />
of David Kidwell painted on a<br />
wall in Christchurch. I went to<br />
Dunedin’s Ed Sheeran concert<br />
and watched a long line of people<br />
have their photos taken in front<br />
of his mural. Are they lining up<br />
in Christchurch in front of David<br />
Kidwell’s photo? No because half<br />
of Christchurch wouldn’t know<br />
who he was and the other half<br />
don’t care. Has the city council<br />
ever acknowledged a member<br />
of the All Blacks or Crusaders<br />
coaching staff as they have all<br />
achieved much, much more.<br />
For some time I have been<br />
astounded by this council’s<br />
financial management but this<br />
really takes the cake and I really<br />
resent my rate money being<br />
spent in this outrageous manner.<br />
What exactly did David Kidwell<br />
achieve to have this honour?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many other things<br />
that need doing in Christchurch<br />
and when they throw money<br />
away on something like this<br />
it defies belief. To me, this<br />
council is rapidly losing all credibility.<br />
Why don’t they ask the<br />
people of Christchurch before<br />
they idiotically waste money<br />
like this? This is my first letter<br />
of protest, ever, but I felt I had to<br />
protest this.<br />
Allenia McArthur – I consider<br />
the mural of David Kidwell<br />
a complete waste of money. <strong>The</strong><br />
only person to benefit from this<br />
was the artist Graham Hoete.<br />
Geoffrey Allison – <strong>The</strong> ratepayer<br />
money used on the mural<br />
of David Kidwell was once again<br />
a complete and utter waste. If a<br />
mural was needed, how about<br />
New Zealand Rugby League paying<br />
“user pays.” ChristchurchNZ<br />
is a joke. Why on earth do we,<br />
the ever-suffering ratepayer,<br />
need such an organisation full of<br />
grandiose positions accountable<br />
to no one, full of weasel words,<br />
achieving nothing. Could someone<br />
publish what their budget<br />
is, and what have they achieved?<br />
Also, how many staff, salaries<br />
and the number of motor vehicles<br />
do they have.<br />
Stone Maka – In my opinion,<br />
I look at the mural from two<br />
perspectives. Firstly, the money<br />
was not well spent, because the<br />
Kidwell portrait did not promote<br />
Kiwi rugby league. Secondly,<br />
the money would have been well<br />
spent if the Kiwis hadn’t lost to<br />
Tongā in the World Cup.<br />
Hamish Middleton – Why,<br />
oh why, do we persist with these<br />
muppets? Perhaps a mural of<br />
someone that more than five<br />
per cent of the population have<br />
heard of would make more sense,<br />
like Ivan Mauger for example.<br />
This is just throwing money<br />
away.<br />
Audrey Tait – You can never<br />
please everyone. Art is subjective.<br />
Either you like this mural<br />
or you don’t but the alternative is<br />
a plain old brick wall. I’m loving<br />
the art around the city. It’s bringing<br />
colour and soul back to our<br />
community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Innovation Expo was<br />
organised by the city council’s<br />
Smart Cities programme to<br />
showcase the many exciting,<br />

developed for or in our city.<br />
From a new app that uses<br />
augmented reality to showcase<br />
Christchurch’s features to a 3D<br />
flyover that illustrates how the<br />
city centre has changed since the<br />
earthquakes, the Innovation Expo<br />
has brought technology to life.<br />
With trials of both flying and<br />
ground-based autonomous vehicles<br />
happening in Canterbury,<br />
our high-tech industries are<br />
involved in some cutting edge<br />
projects that are putting our city<br />
on the map as a vibrant and innovative<br />
21st-century city.<br />
All of our smart solutions are<br />
designed to bring communities,<br />

How dare she use this project as<br />
a desperate opposition attempt<br />
to get some air waves.<br />
Yvonne Lockie – Great<br />
idea, then perhaps part of<br />

Our People<br />
Marianne Delaney-Hoshek<br />
Tactix coach provides the motivation<br />
After starting their ANZ<br />
Premiership with as<br />
many wins as the entire<br />
2017 campaign, the<br />
Mainland Tactix seem<br />
to be on the rebound.<br />
Sports reporter Gordon<br />
Findlater catches<br />
up with head coach<br />
Marianne Delaney-<br />
Hoshek to find out a<br />
little more about the<br />
brains behind our<br />
netball team<br />
Obviously you’ve been<br />
involved in netball for a long<br />
time now. Can you remember<br />
your introduction to the sport?<br />
It was in standard four, so that<br />
would be year 6, at Avondale<br />
Primary School. <strong>The</strong>y had<br />
actually said you couldn’t be in<br />
the A team unless you’ve played<br />
netball before, so I lied and said I<br />
had because I wanted to be in the<br />
A team.<br />
And you took a liking to<br />
netball from there?<br />
I did but it was actually<br />
basketball first for me because<br />
mum was a rep basketball player<br />
. . . I did rep basketball right up<br />
until I was 16 so I did dual and<br />
then I made the national league<br />
for netball which was called the<br />
Bendon League when I was still<br />
at school so I dropped basketball<br />
at that point because netball was<br />
getting pretty serious.<br />
Did you follow the<br />
Canterbury Rams in those<br />
days?<br />
I used to go all the time when<br />
I was younger. Mum would take<br />
us to games in the 80s. I used to<br />
think it would be pretty awesome<br />
to be one of the kids who got<br />
to go on the court to wipe up<br />
the sweat with the towels. I just<br />
idolised the guys that played<br />
for the Rams then, they were<br />
awesome.<br />
So basketball was a big deal at<br />
home?<br />
Our family is more of a rugby<br />
family to be honest. Obviously,<br />
mum was basketball but dad<br />
is rugby so that was quite<br />
dominant in our family.<br />
Does the family have club<br />
allegiances?<br />
We’re very much a Linwood<br />
family. It was clubrooms on a<br />
Saturday night . . . fizzy drink<br />
and chips . . . Dad has always<br />
been on the committee and my<br />
boys play for Linwood now. My<br />
sister Megan is also the junior<br />
club captain at Linwood.<br />
Did you ever play rugby?<br />
I did have a season, yes.<br />
With Linwood?<br />
No, with Burnside.<br />
Was that frowned upon?<br />
Dad wasn’t that supportive of<br />
me playing rugby to be honest<br />
. . . he has very traditional views<br />
about rugby. I went to Burnside<br />
because I had friends who were<br />
coaching the team. I played<br />
FAMILY RIVALS: Marianne Delaney-Hoshek at home with her sons Zac, 9 (left), Hurricanes<br />
fan, and Sam, 7, Crusaders fan.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
touch with them and they asked<br />
if I could play. That Burnside<br />
team was from a bunch of girls<br />
who played other sports.<br />
What rules the roost at home<br />
now?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of rugby that gets<br />
watched. I don’t think my husband<br />
enjoys watching netball but<br />
he fakes quite well.<br />
I understand there’s a split<br />
in allegiances when it comes to<br />
Super Rugby teams at home.<br />
What can you tell me about<br />
that?<br />
My kids were born in Wellington.<br />
We lived in Wellington<br />
for 10 years and because my<br />
husband’s a really big Hurricanes<br />
supporter our oldest son<br />
jumped on that bandwagon as<br />
well, particularly because they’ve<br />
been doing quite well in the last<br />
couple of years. I think he’s just a<br />
bandwagon jumper basically<br />
. . . but, our youngest son is a<br />
Crusaders fan through and<br />
through. He loves going around<br />
the house telling everyone about<br />
it.<br />
What about your brother,<br />
who is now part of the Highlanders<br />
coaching staff. Are you<br />
gutted his allegiances have gone<br />
south?<br />
I was gutted actually because<br />
I liked having him here . . . he’s<br />
been overseas for a long time so<br />
it’s been nice having him back.<br />
Would you describe it as a<br />
brother/sister relationship or a<br />
coach and coach one?<br />
Probably more coach to coach<br />
a lot of the time, actually. We’ve<br />
GIFTED: Delaney-Hoshek<br />
rates Tactix defender<br />
Temalisi Fakahokotau as one<br />
of the most talented athletes<br />
she has worked with.<br />
been banned from talking about<br />
coaching at family events.<br />
Obviously coaching runs in<br />
the family, when did it get serious<br />
for you?<br />
I stopped playing when I was<br />
about 31 which is quite young.<br />
From there I just really got into<br />
coaching. I had been doing it<br />
from when I was 15 but that’s<br />
when I got serious. I did the<br />
under-21 rep squad the next year<br />
and then I was away.<br />
You said you were coaching<br />
at 15?<br />
Yes, I coached the junior<br />
basketball team when I was at<br />
Marian College.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y wouldn’t have been<br />
much younger than you.<br />
No, they were year 9 and I was<br />
year 11.<br />
Did you have in your mind at<br />
that stage, coaching was something<br />
you could end up doing<br />
professionally?<br />
Yes, I don’t know. I became a<br />
PE teacher and I always wanted<br />
to be a PE teacher. I must admit<br />
that when I was playing I loved<br />
playing so much that I never<br />
imagined being a coach, if that<br />
makes sense . . . it was when I<br />
actually stopped playing that I<br />
realised I loved coaching.<br />
Where was your first teaching<br />
gig?<br />
Lincoln High School. I did a<br />
couple of years there, then I did<br />
a bit of relief before I went off<br />
to London. I was teaching and<br />
coaching over there and then<br />
when I came back and moved<br />
to Wellington I was teaching at<br />
Queen Margaret College and<br />
coaching the senior A netball<br />
team . . . the school team did really<br />
well. We were in the bottom<br />
of B grade and in a couple of<br />
years we ended up getting up to<br />
fifth in A grade . . . then I got the<br />
assistant coach role at the Central<br />
Pulse and the same year got<br />
the assistant role with the New<br />
Zealand secondary school team.<br />
Tell me about your Pulse<br />
days.<br />
It was awesome working with<br />
Robyn Broughton because she<br />
is so experienced. I did a lot of<br />
the video analysis work with the<br />
team.<br />
She was obviously a big influence.<br />
Do you have any other<br />
mentors who have helped you<br />
over the years?<br />
A big one for me has been<br />
Fergie McCormick who recently<br />
passed away. He would phone me<br />
after most of my games and was<br />
a good friend of dad’s.<br />
You then moved back to<br />
Christchurch. Tell me about<br />
that.<br />
I came down and I went for<br />
the assistant coach role. It’s weird<br />
how the timing worked out.<br />
How would you describe<br />
those couple of years there<br />
when things weren’t going great<br />
with just one or two win seasons.<br />
Were there tough times?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were tough times. It was<br />
quite amazing one of the first<br />
things I noticed is that when<br />
you’re the bottom team you don’t<br />
get the umpires’ calls, the 50/50<br />
calls you might otherwise get.<br />
That was my first shock after<br />
coming from the Pulse where<br />
it was pretty fair. That was a big<br />
surprise for me.<br />
During your time as assistant<br />
with Sue Hawkins did you guys<br />
feel the team had the potential<br />
to do better?<br />
We did. Remember we had<br />
players like Mwayi Kumwenda<br />
and Bailey Mes. It was quite<br />
a good team and we actually<br />
challenged quite hard at the<br />
beginning of the season but then<br />
we lost all of our games from<br />
there. You can’t knock the girls<br />
and their personality, and the<br />
culture, in that respect.<br />
Tell me about the day Sue<br />
went and you found out you<br />
were taking over as head coach.<br />
It was obviously a big shock<br />
and I didn’t eat much that week.<br />
It happened on a Monday and I<br />
had to take my first session on<br />
the Wednesday, so I had one day<br />
to nail it out and think, ‘right<br />
what are the priorities’ and we<br />
just went from there. It was a<br />
very full on and interesting time.<br />
You must be happy how this<br />
season started?<br />
I think we’ve shown some real<br />
heart so far and we wanted to really<br />
play netball for the fans and<br />
for the younger girls growing up<br />
here, to show them what good<br />
netball looks like . . . it hasn’t<br />
always been so good, so that’s a<br />
huge motivator for us.<br />
How do we get Canterbury<br />
netball back to the top?<br />
I actually think we’re there or<br />
there about. Even in our first loss<br />
we just had one bad quarter.<br />
Is there anyone you can single<br />
out as the best player you’ve<br />
seen?<br />
In terms of as athletes I’d<br />
say Temalisi Fakahokotau and<br />
Mwayi Kumwenda. Te Huinga<br />
Reo Selby-Rickit is another<br />
player in terms of being a smart<br />
student of the game and team<br />
person.

Temporary drinking water chlorination<br />
Why can I taste and smell it?<br />
We’ve heard that some people are experiencing a higher<br />
level of taste and smell than others.<br />
Taste and smell varies across the city because of:<br />
• How close you live to the pump station<br />
• <strong>The</strong> condition of the water pipes<br />
This is because chlorine reacts with a variety of materials in the pipes, causing different levels of<br />
smell and taste. Over time we expect this to be less noticeable. Our contractors will be flushing<br />
pipes in areas that report significant problems.<br />
We are looking at how we can reduce the dose<br />
We are working with health authorities to explore how we can reduce the amount<br />
of chlorine in the water supply.<br />
We are testing chlorine levels daily from different points in the system and<br />
adjusting the dose where needed.<br />
Is chlorine safe?<br />
Health officials’ advice is that there are no known health impacts from drinking water effectively<br />
treated with chlorine. It is safe for pregnant women to drink.<br />
Health authorities advised us to temporarily treat the water and recommended we use chlorine.<br />
Chlorine has been used safely around the world for 120 years. It keeps millions of people all round the<br />
world – including most of New Zealand – safe from waterborne illness. More than 80 per cent of towns<br />
and cities in New Zealand have chlorinated water.<br />
For more information<br />
and to keep up-to-date<br />
ccc.govt.nz/water-chlorination<br />
or call us on<br />
941 8999 or 0800 800 169<br />
You can reduce the taste<br />
and smell by:<br />
• Filling an open jug of drinking water<br />
and keeping it in the fridge.<br />
• Leave lids off water containers to<br />
allow chlorine to evaporate.<br />
• Using a water filter. Options include<br />
jugs with filters for drinking water right<br />
through to whole house systems. Costs<br />
vary depending on what you choose.<br />
Filters are available to hardware<br />
supplies stores or water<br />
filter companies.

Can chlorine affect existing health conditions?<br />
Chlorine can be an irritant for an existing condition such as asthma<br />
or eczema. If you feel your skin getting dry or itchy, use moisturiser after<br />
having a shower or bath. If you notice increased skin irritation, asthma<br />
symptoms or other symptoms – seek medical advice from your GP.<br />
Caring for pets and fish<br />
Treated water is safe for household pets such as cats and dogs to drink.<br />
If you have fish in outside ponds you will need to either turn down in-coming water to an<br />
absolute trickle (this dilutes the chlorine level to a safe amount for your fish), or fill up drums of<br />
water and let them sit for at least <strong>24</strong> hours (the UV of the sun evaporates chlorine).<br />
For fish tanks or bowls inside, fill up a container and let it sit for at least <strong>24</strong> hours, then only replace<br />
1/3 of this water at a time with what is in the tank already. If you’re still worried, you can buy<br />
de-chlorinating kits (sodium thiosulfate) at pet supplies stores.<br />
Does chlorine cause cancer?<br />
<strong>The</strong> International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) does<br />
not believe chlorinated water is either a probable, or even<br />
possible, cause of cancer.<br />

How long will we be chlorinating<br />
the water?<br />
Council has authorised the chlorination of<br />
the water supply for up to 12 months.<br />
Should longer be required, a further<br />
resolution of Council would be<br />
needed. <strong>The</strong> amount of work<br />
that needs to happen to<br />
remove chlorine is still<br />

Experienced food operators<br />
to open in new library<br />
Food lovers and coffee connoisseurs are in for a treat<br />
when the new central library, Tūranga, opens its doors<br />
later this year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> $92 million public library – set to become the<br />
most modern in the southern hemisphere – will feature<br />
an array of high-tech learning experiences, as well as<br />
a new café and espresso bar split between its ground<br />
and first floors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> venues, both called Foundation, will be jointly<br />
operated by <strong>The</strong> Catering Belle owner Ruth Trevella and<br />
current part-owner of Linwood’s popular Under the Red<br />
Verandah Amanda Heasley.<br />
City council head of libraries and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said good food and coffee were another<br />
reason for people to get excited about Tūranga’s<br />
opening later this year.<br />
“We’re very excited to have Ruth and Amanda on<br />
board. <strong>The</strong>y have significant local experience and a<br />
shared vision for Tūranga as a people-first space, filled<br />
with creativity, learning and new experiences.”<br />
Ms Trevella said she and her team were looking<br />

Dining<br />
out<br />
Khmer Cambodian Satay<br />
Noodle House 128 Riccarton Rd<br />
Food<br />
Atmosphere<br />
Decor<br />
Service<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is food sorcery afoot in a<br />
humble noodle house in Riccarton.<br />
With steam rising around their faces,<br />
two women deftly create, almost with<br />
octopus arms, a multitude of dishes.<br />
Make no mistake, there is magic<br />
that comes out of this kitchen. <strong>The</strong><br />
source? An incredible broth added to<br />
their soups.<br />
Khmer Cambodian Satay Noodle<br />
House is the epitome of food that<br />
heals the soul. <strong>The</strong>re is no pomp,<br />
no ceremony, just some fluorescent<br />
lights and a takeaway style menu<br />
board where you order by number. Its<br />
power comes from a simmering pot<br />
of chickens, where every ounce of the<br />
beautiful gelatinous flavour is<br />
extracted from the bones to<br />
create that broth.<br />
We ordered rice paper<br />
spring rolls to start, $8,<br />
with satay chicken<br />
noodle soup, $12 and<br />
seafood chew kua teaw,<br />
$14. Yes, that’s right you<br />
can feed the family for<br />
under $50 here.<br />
Our food arrived within 10 minutes,<br />
put down on our table with a quiet<br />
smile and nod by the very same<br />
woman who cooked it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spring rolls, with a<br />
cheeky little fish sauce<br />
concoction was in the<br />
words of my lad, the<br />
French fine dining<br />
chef “[insert swear<br />
word] unbelievably<br />
good.” It danced upon<br />
your tongue, perfectly<br />
balanced, the sweet, sour,<br />
salty and hot. <strong>The</strong>re was a<br />
little sauce left, so I sipped it like a<br />
good wine.<br />
But the satay noodle soup is<br />
where the magic happens.<br />
Taking that first spoonful is<br />
like getting a big bosom<br />
hug from your Grannie,<br />
you know the kind? When<br />
some rotter is mean to<br />
you at school and Grannie<br />
gathers you in and while<br />
you struggle to breathe<br />
from the breadth of her<br />
bosom, you discover that everything<br />
will be alright. <strong>The</strong> satay sauce is<br />
mixed into that incredible broth and<br />
forms a golden elixir, complete<br />
with the rice noodles and bean<br />
sprouts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> seafood chew kua<br />
teaw had a savoury sauce,<br />
carefully concocted so as<br />
not to take away form the<br />
beautifully cooked squid.<br />
Though both our bellies<br />
were full, Frenchie looked<br />
at me with widened eyes: “It’s<br />
so good I just can’t stop.” And he<br />
didn’t until all the bowls were clean.<br />
We went up to the counter, where<br />
one of the women was quietly eating<br />
her own dinner in between the<br />
dinner rush. We thanked her profusely<br />
and she pinked with shyness before<br />
ducking her head with a smile.<br />
No, it is not somewhere you’ll go if<br />
you are looking to impress. But by<br />
cripes, it is the place you go to mend<br />
your soul.<br />
- Shelley Robinson<br />
HAPA reopens<br />
in central city<br />
HAPA has opened a new store in the BNZ Centre.<br />
<strong>The</strong> design store which sells jewellery and other<br />
handmade items is now open next to Wok It To Me.<br />
It originally opened in Re:START after the February<br />
22, 2011 earthquake. Owner Maureen Taane then<br />
started a second store in <strong>The</strong> Tannery in 2015.<br />
Shop window<br />
voting open<br />
Imagine a window with giant dancing<br />
pompoms that swirl and shimmy in a<br />
choreographed sequence of movement and<br />
light. That is one of five fun ideas that could be<br />
used to transform unused shop windows in the<br />
city centre into fun attractions. <strong>The</strong> ideas have<br />
been short-listed by a review panel after the<br />
team behind the city council’s Enliven Places<br />
Programme launched the ShoPOP initiative.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two designs that receive the most votes on<br />
the city council Facebook page will be created<br />
from next month. Voting closes on Saturday.<br />
Manor stars<br />
in music video<br />
Eliza’s Manor has starred in a new<br />
spooky music video. Dunedin’s Kane<br />
Strang has released the video for his<br />
tune Not Quite, from his album Two<br />
Hearts and No Brain. Strang stars in the<br />
video as a lonesome ghost in the clip,<br />
which was filmed in Eliza’s Manor, on<br />
Bealey Ave. Strang said his crew were<br />
staying in the hotel and as soon as he<br />
was left alone in his room the lights<br />
started flickering. <strong>The</strong>re was a teddy<br />
bear collection in the hallway, he said.<br />
He plays a nosy ghost eating the other<br />
guests food and reading their letters.<br />
Subscribe for gin<br />

QUESTION<br />
GARDENING<br />
ADVICE with<br />
My lemon tree is covered in this<br />
black sooty like stuff? What is<br />
it and how do I get rid of it?<br />
Today’s winning<br />
question came<br />
from Shae Williams.<br />
Congratulations!<br />
ANSWER<br />
From the image you have supplied<br />
it looks like you have a fungus<br />
problem known as sooty mould which is<br />
caused by scale and/or other sucking insects and is a very<br />
common problem on citrus. Carefully inspect your tree,<br />
especially the undersides of the leaves, and you will see small<br />
scale insects adhered to the leaf. <strong>The</strong>se insects suck the sap out of leaves, producing a sticky sweet substance<br />
called honey dew which attracts the growth of sooty mould. This mould can cover much of the leaves, reducing the<br />
plants ability to photosynthesise, affecting growth and fruit production.<br />
To treat the problem; kill the insects by spraying them with a good quality horticultural oil - good coverage is<br />
important, particularly on the undersides of leaves. Once the insects are dead there is no more ‘food’ for sooty<br />
mould to grow on so it will begin to disappear. Any fruit that has mould on it is fi ne to eat; simply remove it by<br />
washing the lemons with soapy water. Healthy trees are less prone to pests and diseases so regular watering,<br />
feeding and attention is important. Citrus are ‘gross feeders’ so apply Daltons Goldcote Fruit & Citrus Tree<br />
Fertiliser just outside the branches’ ‘drip line’ at six-weekly intervals from late October<br />
to early December, recommencing late February through to early April.<br />
Complimentary products to try: Daltons Compost range, Daltons Mulch & Grow.<br />
For more gardening advice and tips on growing citrus, check out our Growing Citrus<br />
Guide at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides<br />
Not only can trees and shrubs provide numerous practical benefits<br />
like shade and privacy, but they are also a wonderful way to soften<br />
and transform unsightly spaces or views in the garden.<br />
When planting shrubs and trees, always use plenty of Daltons<br />
Compost and add in a Daltons Premium Planter Tabs to give them<br />
the best start. With existing trees and shrubs, make sure to regularly<br />
fertilise them to further enhance the health of the plant and its foliage.<br />
We have a Daltons Tree Planting Pack to giveaway!<br />

Use a focal point to plan your garden<br />
ONE OF the most difficult<br />
challenges of creating a new<br />
garden is the age old question:<br />
Where do I start?<br />
And one good answer is –<br />
with a focal point.<br />
Whether you’re creating a<br />
design on a 500 sq m plot or<br />
trying to fill a hectare or two,<br />
the solution is the same, the<br />
only difference being that a<br />
large garden can support several<br />
focal points in different<br />
areas.<br />
Inspiration for the entire<br />
garden can often be provided<br />
by the focal point. <strong>Star</strong>ting by<br />
hunting for a statue, an urn,<br />
a sculpture or a fountain from<br />
which the rest of the garden<br />
design will spring.<br />
In a small, formal,<br />
Mediterranean-style garden, for<br />
example, the centrepiece should<br />
dictate the shapes that surround<br />
it, giving a structured,<br />
geometric look with hedges<br />
and paths.<br />
A limited palette of plants<br />
will further enhance the<br />
design and allow the focal<br />
point of the garden to be<br />
exactly that. In a larger garden<br />
there can be a number of focal<br />
points.<br />
A collection of sculptures<br />
or urns can be positioned<br />
throughout the space so that<br />
each is the climax of a journey<br />
of discovery through the landscape.<br />
Although it sounds ambitious,<br />
the pieces need not be<br />
expensive – simple glazed pots<br />
or even garden seats can be<br />
used.<br />
Give some thought to creating<br />
a ‘stage set’ for each piece.<br />
Plonking a pot or a deck chair<br />
at the edge of the lawn isn’t<br />
going to do the trick.<br />
<strong>Star</strong>t by forming a base for<br />
your piece – perhaps an area<br />
of pebbles or shells contained<br />
by rocks or sleepers, or a small<br />
paved platform. You can add a<br />
sense of enclosure by constructing<br />
a pergola overhead, or a<br />
simple, three sided fence or low<br />
hedge.<br />
A path leading to your sanctuary<br />
will give a sense of direction<br />
and discovery within the<br />
garden, and it can be as simple<br />
as a few pavers set into the<br />
lawn.<br />
And if, at this rather dull<br />
time of year, you’re yearning<br />
for something bright and<br />
vibrant in the garden, choose<br />
a centrepiece that vibrates with<br />
colour.<br />
PAVERS: A path leading to your<br />
garden sanctuary will give a sense<br />
of discovery.<br />

Birthday boy back in<br />
top club rugby – he’s 49<br />
STALWART PROP: Robbie Timo was called<br />
upon to play premier grade rugby for<br />
Sumner on his 49th birthday.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
ROBBIE TIMO celebrated his 49th birthday on<br />
Saturday by turning back the clock – playing top<br />
level club rugby.<br />
Timo last played in the premier metro<br />
competition in 2015, and was regarded as a<br />
veteran even then.<br />
After starting this season in the Sumner<br />
Sharks masters team, he never thought he would<br />
run out in a premier metro match again.<br />
But that all changed last week when the Sumner<br />
premier team called him up for their match against<br />
Shirley on Saturday, to cover for injuries.<br />
With about 15min remaining, the tight head<br />
prop came on as a replacement and helped cement<br />
Sumner’s 45-32 win. His<br />
presence in the squad was<br />
a talking point in the<br />
pre-match build up.<br />
“When Marty (coach<br />
Martin Dodgson)<br />
had us in the huddle<br />
before the game, he<br />
made mention of when<br />
I brought up my 300th<br />
game, which was in 2010.<br />
He pointed at one guy and<br />
said ‘how old were you’<br />
and he said 11,” said Timo.<br />
In recent years, he has coached a number<br />
of under-16 and under-18 metro rep teams.<br />
It’s now got to the point where he finds<br />
himself playing against players he has<br />
previously coached.<br />
“A lot of them give me a second look when<br />
they see me out there. I’m probably the only guy<br />
that gets a handshake before the first scrum goes<br />
down,” said Timo.<br />
In total Timo has played more than 400 senior<br />
games for Sumner across various divisions after<br />
“A lot of them give me a<br />
second look when they<br />
see me out there. I’m<br />
probably the only guy<br />
that gets a handshake<br />
before the first scrum<br />
goes down.”<br />
first joining the club in 1992.<br />
It was his time with the club’s top team in the<br />
2000s that he’s most fond of. He was part of the<br />
team that was promoted from division three and<br />
then division two in 2010 to establish Sumner in the<br />
premier grade for the first time.<br />
“My favourite memory is probably playing<br />
alongside Razor [Scott Robertson] when we had a<br />
div three final at Rugby Park against New Brighton.<br />
It was a very tough game and at the end we<br />
celebrated hard.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> prop answered a resounding “yes” when<br />
asked if he feels sore on Sunday mornings more<br />
so than he did 30 years ago. But he says all is fixed<br />
with a swim at 9.30am and a spa 20min later which<br />
leaves him “good for the rest of the day and ready to<br />
get back into it Monday.”<br />
Timo, who is a teacher at Linwood<br />
College, puts his ability to keep up<br />
with players more than half his age<br />
down to 5km stints on a rowing<br />
machine before a weights session, and<br />
a lot of walking.<br />
In his early days, Timo spent stints<br />
on the wing before moving to the<br />
loose forwards. His first experience<br />
playing at prop helped him realise<br />
there was a need to step up his work<br />
in the gym. “I like pushing a bit of tin around,” said<br />
Timo.<br />
“I remember the first time I propped. <strong>The</strong> scrum<br />
went down, we did the scrum and then I went to<br />
run but my legs couldn’t move. I thought jeepers, I<br />
have to get used to this.”<br />
As for any chances of turning out at premier level<br />
when he hits 50. “No I think this will be the last<br />
time I probably do that again. It’s a big ask; if I did<br />
it, I would need to spend a lot of time training.”<br />
Timo is likely to turn out for the division two side<br />
against High School Old Boys at St Leonards Park.<br />
Nel seeks greener pastures in Otago<br />
Surplus of loose forward talent behind move<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE MAN voted the best player<br />
in club rugby last year is making<br />
a move to Otago due to a surplus<br />
of talent in Canterbury at loose<br />
forward.<br />
Dylan Nel, 25, completely<br />
dominated the most valuable<br />
player award in the Hawkins<br />
metro premier competition in<br />
2017, winning by the largest<br />
margin in the award’s history.<br />
<strong>The</strong> South African No 8<br />
finished with 27 points – 11<br />
ahead of his nearest rival.<br />
He also finished as the leading<br />
try-scorer in the competition<br />
with 16 – four more than any<br />
other player.<br />
However, the Sumner loosie<br />
struggled to gain match time<br />
in the ITM Cup last year due to<br />
the depth in his position, with<br />
Canterbury boasting the likes of<br />
Luke Whitelock, Matt Todd, Tom<br />
Sanders, Jed Brown and Billy<br />
Harmon.<br />
“I didn’t really get my shot,”<br />
said Nel. “It’s a shame because I<br />
really like it here, but there are so<br />
many good players in the Canterbury<br />
team. I can understand why<br />
I haven’t really got the chance.”<br />
Nel signed a two-year professional<br />
contract with Otago<br />
after speaking with head coach<br />
Ben Herring earlier in the year.<br />
Herring, who was looking for a<br />
strong ball carrying No 8, felt Nel<br />
fitted the bill.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plan was for Nel to make<br />
the move south immediately.<br />
However, he had one request.<br />
“I told him I wanted to finish<br />
another season with Sumner.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re like a family for me,” said<br />
Nel.<br />
Nel has been based with the<br />
seaside club since making the<br />
move from South Africa in 2015<br />
to further his rugby development.<br />
He rates the Christchurch<br />
metro competition as a great<br />
pathway towards becoming the<br />
player he is today.<br />
“It’s been massive. It’s got to be<br />
the best club level comp in the<br />
world. One week you’re playing<br />
against Crusaders players and the<br />
next against an All Black,” said<br />
Nel.<br />
Nel leaves for Dunedin in early<br />
July. He may be met by a cooler<br />
climate but it won’t put him off<br />
continuing the lifestyle he’s established<br />
since moving to Sumner.<br />
“I hear they’ve got some good<br />
surf beaches – I’ll just have to<br />
take my wetsuit,” said Nel.<br />

Sport<br />
Cynical or just fed up?<br />
IS IT A FAIR statement or have<br />
I just become cynical when I say<br />
that I truly believe there’s more<br />
legitimacy and intrigue in club<br />
rugby than Super Rugby?<br />
Let’s start with the legitimacy<br />
. . . the premier Christchurch<br />
club competition has 12 teams<br />
which play each other once. <strong>The</strong><br />
competition is then split into a<br />
top and bottom six. <strong>The</strong> top six<br />
sides play each other once more<br />
to decide seedlings for the finals.<br />
Your team’s regular season<br />
consists of 16 rounds played<br />
across 15 weeks . . .<br />
Super Rugby used to work on a<br />
formula very similar to this and<br />
it went off without a hitch.<br />
However, the powers that be<br />
enhanced the competition by<br />
increasing the number of teams<br />
(currently 15 teams), which<br />
are split across three unevenly<br />
balanced conferences. This<br />
allowed the Brumbies to secure<br />
a home play-off berth in 2017<br />
by finishing the season with six<br />
wins and nine losses . . . let’s not<br />
even mention the Crusaders<br />
travelling to South Africa for the<br />
final.<br />
In terms of regular season<br />
your team also plays 16 rounds<br />
but is spread across 22 weeks.<br />
Now let’s move to intrigue<br />
. . . the balance of power in<br />
the Christchurch competition<br />
tends to fluctuate from year to<br />

CLUB LEGEND: Sydenham<br />
hardman Reuben Harvey<br />
played his 100th game for<br />
the club on Saturday.<br />
year and other than a couple of<br />
championship candidate v tabledweller<br />
meetings it can be hard<br />
to predict.<br />
THe only predictable downfall<br />
One-eyed Cantab<br />
Gordon Findlater<br />
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi<br />
in recent years is the knowledge<br />
that Lincoln University are likely<br />
to be the team to beat – you can<br />
also thank Super Rugby for that,<br />
but that’s a conversation for<br />
another day.<br />
We should also mention<br />
the Canterbury country<br />
competition, which goes into the<br />
final round-robin this weekend,<br />
has the top four in one section<br />
separated by just two points,<br />
while the other section has five<br />
teams battling for the two final<br />
play-off spots.<br />
Super Rugby has plenty of<br />
intrigue. However, this is going<br />
on the basis you’re watching<br />
a New Zealand derby. Once<br />
again we find ourselves looking<br />
perplexed about the Hurricanes<br />
being fourth in the overall<br />
standings with 14 more points<br />
than the Waratahs in third.<br />
Of the 10 teams outside of the<br />
New Zealand conference just<br />
three teams have a better win to<br />
loss ratio.<br />
Is it just me or is time wearing<br />
thin on how long I can take the<br />
conference system seriously?<br />

Home ground title<br />
hopes for Cashmere<br />
CASHMERE Technical can win<br />
their fifth Mainland Premier<br />
League title in eight years on<br />
their home turf this weekend.<br />
On Saturday, they host Nelson<br />
Suburbs at Garrick Park where<br />
three points will secure the title.<br />
With three rounds remaining<br />
in the competition, Cashmere<br />
are seven points clear of Coastal<br />
Spirit in second. If Coastal fail<br />
to win their match against FC<br />
Twenty11 then a draw against<br />
third-placed Nelson will also be<br />
enough for Cashmere.<br />
Cashmere travelled to Nelson<br />
last month where they played<br />
out a 2-2 draw.<br />

This weekend sees a topof-the-table<br />
clash between<br />
Lincoln and Christchurch at the<br />
Christchurch Football Club. A<br />
win for Lincoln would go a long<br />
way to securing top spot given<br />
their five-point advantage, while<br />
victory for Christchurch would<br />
add new spice to the season.<br />
Sumner will look to solidify their<br />
spot in the top four when they<br />
host High School Old Boys. New<br />
Brighton will travel to Sydenham<br />

in fourth after Sydenham<br />

Cashmere ahead early on before<br />
Conor Clarke levelled in the<br />

then replied immediately to<br />
restore Cashmere’s lead. Lyle<br />
Matthysen added a third before<br />
Aaron Clapham scored from<br />
the penalty spot. Matthysen<br />
added two late goals to complete<br />

CHRIST’S COLLEGE will look<br />
to remain undefeated in the<br />
UC Championship when they<br />
host an ever-evolving Lincoln<br />
Combined side on Saturday.<br />
Following wins over Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School, St Thomas<br />
and Mid Canterbury Combined<br />
the highly-touted team will also<br />
be looking to remain on a high<br />
ahead of their annual college<br />
match with Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School next Thursday.<br />
Fifth-placed Lincoln are fresh<br />
off two home victories against<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School and<br />
Aoraki Combined. However, the<br />
task of Christ’s at Upper will give<br />
a true guide on whether or not<br />
they can mount a push for the<br />
top four this campaign.<br />
Sixth-placed St Bede’s College,<br />
fresh off a surprising 27-19 win<br />
over Nelson College, face an early<br />
test of their playoff credentials<br />
when they travel to Blenheim to<br />
play fourth-placed Marlborough<br />
Boys’ College.<br />
After beating St Bede’s in week<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Red Devils<br />
begin their national ice hockey<br />

with a trip to Auckland to<br />
play the Botany Swarm. <strong>The</strong><br />
Red Devils finished their<br />
pre-season programme at the<br />
weekend with two wins over<br />
the Dunedin Thunder. After<br />
making five consecutive finals<br />
appearances from 2012-2016,<br />
the Red Devil’s won just two of<br />
their eight games last year. <strong>The</strong><br />
team will be looking to bounce<br />
back and has been boosted by<br />
four international imports,<br />
including Ukrainian defender<br />
Vsevolod Tolstushko.<br />

Bennett unloads after Napa’s reprieve<br />
WAYNE BENNETT has<br />
launched a fiery tirade at the<br />
NRL over the match review<br />
committee’s failure to charge<br />
Dylan Napa, accusing the game<br />
of having an anti-Brisbane bias.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Broncos coach unloaded<br />
on the game’s governing body<br />
after prop Korbin Sims underwent<br />
surgery on a broken jaw following<br />
a head-to-head collision<br />
with Napa during Friday’s win<br />
over the Sydney Roosters, AAP<br />
reported. Napa was sin-binned<br />
for leading with his head in a<br />
tackle, a decision that was criticised<br />
by Roosters coach Trent<br />
Robinson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> committee declined to<br />
charge Napa on Saturday, leaving<br />
him free to turn out for Queensland<br />
in State of Origin I.<br />
However, a fuming Bennett<br />
lodged a complaint with the<br />
NRL claiming it had failed in its<br />
duty of care.<br />
“Why hasn’t the game made<br />
Napa accountable?” Bennett told<br />
News Corp.<br />
“I know there will be a<br />
s***fight coming my way but I’m<br />
not backing away from it.<br />
“I am not going to watch my<br />
players get broken jaws and<br />
remain silent.<br />
“When you go before the<br />
judiciary, they will ask the player<br />
‘what was your duty of care?’<br />
“Where is Napa’s duty<br />
of care?”, he told AAP. But<br />
Robinson claimed the collision<br />
was a regrettable accident after<br />
Sims stepped late to avoid Napa.<br />
Bennett hit back saying Napa<br />
was reckless in the way he went<br />
into the tackle with his arms<br />
out-stretched and with his head<br />
out front.<br />
He accused the committee of<br />
inconsistency, pointing to Sam<br />
Thaiday’s suspension for wrenching<br />
the hand of Melbourne’s<br />
Jesse Bromwich last year. “<strong>The</strong>re<br />
is a bias against the Broncos,” he<br />
said.<br />
“We won a game we weren’t<br />
supposed to win so that would<br />
have pissed off the Roosters even<br />
more.<br />
“Last year, Sam pulled Jesse<br />
Bromwich’s finger. He was found<br />
guilty for contrary conduct.<br />
“Are you telling me a finger<br />
pull is worse than Napa breaking<br />
Sims’ jaw with a reckless tackle?”<br />

Bridge signs long-term deal with Crusaders<br />
<br />
CRUSADERS speedster George<br />
Bridge has become the first player<br />
to ink a long-term deal with the<br />
club through to the 2022 season,<br />
and has also re-committed to<br />
Canterbury through to 2021.<br />
It has been a meteoric rise<br />
for the 23-year-old, who was<br />
born in Gisborne but moved to<br />
Christchurch and progressed<br />
through the Crusaders and<br />
Canterbury development<br />
programmes.<br />

to secure a player of Bridge’s<br />
promise through to 2022:<br />
“George is one of the form<br />
players of the Super Rugby<br />
competition, who continues<br />
to impress us with his skillset,<br />
pace and attacking nous. He<br />
had a superb debut season for us<br />
last year and has made massive<br />
strides again this year – he’s a<br />

Robertson.<br />
Bridge said he had no<br />
hesitation in re-committing to<br />
the Crusaders and Canterbury:<br />
“It’s fair to say I’ve had a<br />
busy couple of years, but the<br />
experience has been invaluable<br />

cemented the fact that I am in the<br />

I’VE LONG regarded<br />
BMW’s M3 as the ultimate<br />
sports sedan.<br />
It’s always been on my<br />
wish list, but at around<br />
$160,000 I know it’s just a<br />
dream to own one.<br />
Regular readers will<br />
know I’m a huge sport<br />
sedan fan and I have many<br />
fond memories of each M3<br />
drive I’ve had.<br />
Of course, M represents<br />
a stable of cars M4, M5<br />
and M6 are also popular<br />
for those who want extra<br />
performance from a BMW<br />
purchase.<br />
While those four models<br />
are prohibitive for<br />
my budget, there is one<br />
M-series car which you<br />
could describe as affordable<br />
at $117k – the M2.<br />
However, the M2 isn’t a<br />
sports sedan, but it may<br />
as well be. It’s a two-door<br />
coupe concept, and for all<br />
other reasons it is a performance<br />
car true to the M<br />
brand, and features all of<br />
the ingredients that make<br />
for blistering performance.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a<br />
turbocharged six-cylinder<br />
engine of 2979cc. Its inline<br />
design encapsulates all of<br />
what has made the M3,<br />
and others, sought after<br />
performance models.<br />
BMW rates it at 272kW<br />
and 500Nm and it sits traditionally,<br />
longitudinally<br />
under the bonnet and<br />
drives the rear wheels.<br />
<strong>The</strong> power outputs are<br />
dynamic, not only are<br />
they high, but they are<br />
also developed at usable<br />
points of the rev band;<br />
peak power comes in<br />
at 6500rpm, but that is<br />
almost met by an unfaltering<br />
flow of torque<br />
energy from 1400rpm to<br />
5560rpm.<br />
Add all those figures<br />
together and you get the<br />
speed indicative of M<br />
models, a standstill to<br />
100km/h time of 4.5sec<br />
can be expected, and it will<br />
force a highway overtake<br />
of 3.8sec to make 120km/h<br />
from 80km/h. BMW also<br />
claims a 250km/h governed<br />
top speed.<br />
Not only is its pace<br />
quick, the engine delivers<br />
with a howl and a shriek<br />
that is reminiscent and<br />
characteristic of the inline<br />
sixes BMW has carved out<br />
a reputation for over the<br />
years.<br />
Inline engines develop a<br />
lot of natural torque, and if<br />
you add in the turbo boost<br />
there’s no lag nor points<br />
where the engine doesn’t<br />
BMW M2: Affordable performance car at $117k.<br />
want to deliver.<br />
I took the evaluation<br />
car through the twisty<br />
pieces of road between the<br />
two main river gorges –<br />
Waimakariri and Rakaia<br />
– as you force acceleration<br />
from corner to corner the<br />
M2 uses its mid-range<br />
strength to provide a solid<br />
feeling of exhilaration.<br />
Power is delivered<br />
through a seven-speed<br />
dual clutch transmission.<br />
Don’t let its name fool you,<br />
it operates more like an<br />
automatic than a manual,<br />
there are only two foot<br />
pedals.<br />
• Price – BMW M2,<br />
$117,050<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 4468mm;<br />
width, 1854mm;<br />
height, 1410mm<br />
• Configuration – Sixcylinder,<br />
rear-wheeldrive,<br />
2979cc, 272kW,<br />
500Nm, seven-speed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 4.3sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
7.9l/100km<br />
However, the point is it<br />
is a quick-shifting gearbox<br />
and it will change ratios at<br />
the blink of an eye, there<br />
are steering wheel-mounted<br />
paddles or sequential<br />
shifting through the main<br />
lever, but even with a<br />
hands-off approach, the<br />
engine/gearbox management<br />
systems are always<br />
activated so that performance<br />
on an open road<br />
burst is the main priority.<br />
Providing the grip are<br />
beautiful 19in Michelin<br />
Pilot performance tyres<br />
(<strong>24</strong>5/35 and 265/35) and<br />
they have prodigious<br />
grip. Traction control<br />
obviously keeps grip well<br />
maintained, but there is a<br />
playfulness within the system<br />
that offers a slight tailhappy<br />
response if you use<br />
vigorous throttle pressure<br />
mid-corner.<br />
It must be noted, too,<br />
that the M2 has a trick rear<br />
differential. Electronicallycontrolled,<br />
it manages the<br />
torque output to distribute<br />
drive between the two rear<br />
wheels so that the wheel<br />
most likely to glean grip<br />
will receive the appropriate<br />
amount of power.<br />
When it comes to slowing<br />
down for the next<br />
corner, there’s solid reassurance<br />
from performance<br />
brakes which have strong<br />
pedal feel and retardation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mechanicals are<br />
what you would expect<br />
from BMW’s performance<br />
arm, and they all combine<br />
to provide a feisty drive<br />
and one which is always<br />
memorable.<br />
However, it must also be<br />
remembered that BMW<br />
prides itself of luxury and<br />
functionality. <strong>The</strong> wee M2<br />
isn’t a big car at 4.5m, but<br />
it equips itself well inside<br />
with beautiful appointments<br />
and a host of kit to<br />
keep all occupants happy.<br />
And while the evaluation<br />
car was almost basic<br />
spec, its $117,050 price<br />
tag is most affordable. It<br />
provides a bang-for-buck<br />
experience, along with a<br />
cabin which reeks of quality.<br />
It’s sporty inside, but<br />
once you are seated it<br />
looks after the body with<br />
amazing seats and a driving<br />
position that oozes<br />
comfort. Bearing in mind<br />
that rear seat occupants<br />
are limited to two, it’s a<br />
bit of fiddle accessing that<br />
area over the front seats.<br />
That aside, it’s a small<br />
price to pay for a true<br />
performance champion.<br />
It ticks all the boxes in<br />
my list of desirable motor<br />
cars. I am saving for an<br />
M2, but it may take a few<br />
years given that I’m about<br />
to draw down on my pension.<br />

NEW LISTINGS<br />
<strong>The</strong>y might be in locations that<br />
offer cheaper land, larger houses, or<br />
convenience to work or school.<br />
You may have visited show homes<br />
and open homes becoming confused,<br />
overwhelmed or swept away with<br />
emotional factors like having everything<br />
new, or extra features such as three car<br />
garaging.<br />
To be happy with your choice, list the<br />
features that you need, considering:<br />
• Family space – Is there room for<br />
the children to play indoors and for<br />
television and entertainment units?<br />
Should this be open plan or separated?<br />
• Kitchen – What needs to be in your kitchen?<br />
How serious are you about a butler’s pantry?<br />
Is it a whim or something that offers a<br />
practical solution to the way you use your<br />
kitchen?<br />
• Bedroom sizes – What are optimum sizes?<br />
Smaller bedrooms may translate to slightly<br />
lower building costs while extra space can<br />
be useful. When looking at existing homes,<br />
consider whether the size of each bedroom is<br />
sufficient.<br />
• Garaging – A standard double garage once<br />
two cars are parked there offers little space<br />
for the toys. What toys do you have and could<br />
they live with the lawnmower in a garden<br />
shed, a cheaper option to three car garaging?<br />
If the budget allows and a larger garage with<br />
workshop is important, make it a selection<br />
priority.<br />
• Size of land – Lifestyle properties offer space<br />
for children, pets, hobbies, an expansive<br />
garden and perhaps a home-run business<br />
but they require<br />
work so are not<br />
for everyone and<br />
a compact section<br />
might be more<br />
sensible if a tight<br />
budget or busy<br />
lifestyle.<br />
• Bathrooms –<br />
Second and third<br />
bathrooms are<br />

Advertising Feature<br />
Looking for a property<br />
– what really counts?<br />
You are in the market for a new property, scrolling the Internet,<br />
examining properties for sale and zeroing in on those with potential.<br />
and a wet shower room is ideal for young<br />
children. A bath might be fashionable though<br />
is often not used and its absence could mean a<br />
more spacious bathroom.<br />
• Laundry – Would a laundry in the garage do<br />
the job?<br />
• Storage – How much storage do you need?<br />
Weigh up what can truly be stored in the<br />
garage once vehicles are in, a preference in<br />
winter. Garages vary in size so check the size<br />
to ensure your vehicles will fit. Look also at<br />
where else the house offers storage capacity<br />
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot water<br />
cylinder cupboard, wardrobes (check their<br />
width and depth), walk-in robe, attic storage<br />
trusses, as well as the potential for hooks and<br />
shelving in the garage for bikes, tools, garden<br />
equipment and even kayaks.<br />
• Off-street parking – How many vehicles can<br />
be parked on the driveway? Will this space be<br />
sufficient?<br />
• Garden - Is there sufficient space for your<br />
children to play or for entertaining?<br />
A checklist will allow you to determine what will<br />
suit your needs, the<br />
point of the exercise,<br />
saving you time<br />
looking at properties<br />
or potential house<br />
designs while assisting<br />
you to decide whether<br />
to buy a new or<br />
existing home with<br />
both options having<br />
advantages and<br />
disadvantages.<br />

ALCOHOL LICENCE<br />
NOTIFICATION CHANGES<br />
We’re changing the way alcohol licence applications<br />
are publicly notified.<br />
Instead of advertising these in the public notice section<br />
of local newspapers, we will publish information on a<br />
dedicated webpage, located on ccc.govt.nz/alcohol.<br />
<strong>The</strong> webpage will be live from 16 April <strong>2018</strong> for all<br />
alcohol licence public notices. Please note there will be<br />
a month’s transition period for public notices already<br />
arranged by applicants for newspaper publication.<br />
By advertising on the same webpage each time,<br />
people will know where to go to look for licence<br />
application notice and details about public objection<br />
timelines. Public notifications will still be for 15<br />
working days, but you will be able to view on the<br />
webpage recent notices beyond that time.<br />
This is consistent with the requirements of the Sale<br />
and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.<br />
You can still view application documents in person at<br />
Council offices.<br />
To find out more about how alcohol licence applications<br />
are publicly notified, give us a call on 941 8999 or<br />
0800 800 169.<br />
