Cops rule out Tully for Bentley murder 

CONVICTED double murderer 

Russell John Tully has been 

interviewed behind bars over 

the unsolved 1998 murder of 

schoolgirl Kirsty Bentley. 

However, police say there is no 

evidence at this time to link him 

to the killing. 

The Ashburton Work and 

Income killer was interviewed 

by police at Auckland Prison last 

week. 

Tully, now aged 52, flatted opposite 

the Bentley family’s South 

St home in Ashburton for around 

three years in the early 1990s. 

Detective Inspector Greg 

Murton confirmed the 

cold-blooded killer had been 

interviewed. 

“Mr Tully has provided 

a detailed account of his 

whereabouts, employment and 

travel around the time of the 

murder, and police are satisfied 

that there is no evidence at this 

time that Mr Tully was in any 

way involved in the abduction 

and murder of Kirsty Bentley,” he 

told Stuff. 

Tully, who was not identified or 

spoken to during the original investigation, 

told police last week 

that he was married and living in 

Nelson, working full-time, when 

15-year-old Bentley disappeared 

on December 31, 1998. 

Her dog and underwear were 

found on the banks of the Ashburton 

River. 

The NZ Herald, also reporting 

on yesterday’s developments, said 

Tully left for Australia with his 

wife on February 12, 1999 – less 

than a month after the schoolgirl’s 

badly decomposed body 

was found in the Rakaia Gorge, 

more than 40km away from 

where she was last seen.

Have you 

prepared 

for another 

big quake? 

• By Julia Evans

CANTABRIANS have become 

complacent over being prepared 

for another big disaster. 

Civil Defence has released its 

latest survey on how ready we 

are if another big natural disaster 

strikes. 

And it doesn’t make overly 

good reading. 

The results show 47 per cent of 

Christchurch households have 

enough water stored, compared 

to 79 per cent in 2011. 

Overall 12 per cent of Cantabrians 

surveyed said they feel 

“very well” prepared, compared 

to 31 per cent in 2011. 

And those who consider being 

prepared “very important” has 

dropped since 2011 from 76 per 

cent to 65 per cent. 

The result has left the Canterbury 

Civil Defence Emergency 

Management Group “surprised” 

and “a bit disappointed,” welfare 

manager Jessica Petersen said.

WESTPAC Rescue 

Helicopter has celebrated 

saving more than 10,000 lives 

in Canterbury over the past 25 

years. 

A special function was held 

at the Garden City Helicopter 

Aviation Emergency AirCentre 

yesterday. 

The celebration coincided 

with the announcement Westpac 

Rescue Helicopter was the 

most trusted charity in the 

country. 

Canterbury crew chief Rick 

Knight said the recognition is 

appreciated. 

“We are often dealing in 

extreme circumstances, all 

working together to help the 

patient and then get them to 

the hospital – it is great to know 

people are thinking of the 

service.” 

The charity, which runs 24 

hours a day, needs to raise $7 

million annually to fund its 

service.

New Brighton Pier 

Meghan’s Akaroa moment 

Teenager 

crawls into 

shower 

cubicle 

MEGHAN MARKLE has 

revealed all about her first 

honeymoon experience in 

Akaroa. 

The Duchess of Sussex told 

ZM Breakfast during her New 

Zealand holiday with former 

husband and 

film producer 

Trevor Engelson 

a teenage boy 

crawled into her 

shower cubicle 

and tried to steal 

her underwear. 

The couple 

rented a campervan 

for their 

two-week road 

trip honeymoon 

around the 

country during the Christmas 

and New Year of 2011-12 

“When we got into the campsite, 

they had nice areas to take 

a shower and I’m washing my 

hair and I hear something,” she 

said. 

“I open the shower curtain 

and there’s this 13-year-old boy 

who had crawled under the 

stall and was trying to steal my 

underwear. 

“I grabbed a towel and I’m

like, ‘Where is your mother?’ 

I found his parents, who were 

mortified,” she said. 

“I can laugh about it now but 

at the time I was so shaken up,” 

she said. 

“He was just a little prankster, 

he was harmless – probably 

bored to tears with his family.” 

During their honeymoon, 

Markle and Engelson visited 

glaciers, seal colonies and wineries, 

and swam with dolphins 

before reaching Akaroa and 

checking into the camping 

ground where the incident took 

place. 

She and Prince Harry are 

expected to return to New 

Zealand in October after they 

visit Australia for the Invictus 

Games. 

If the Duke and Duchess 

make a stop in Christchurch, it 

would be Prince Harry’s second 

visit after he was last here in 

2015. 

repairs complete 

New Brighton Pier is being fully 

reopened to the public after 

16 months and $8.5 million of 

earthquake repairs. It will reopen 

to the public on Saturday. 

Completing the project was 

delayed by two months after 

disruption from Cyclone Gita, but 

the pier is now back to pre-quake 

strength. 

Sudden death not 

suspicious 

The death of a man in his 60s who 

was found outside social housing 

flats in Spreydon yesterday was 

not believed to be suspicious. 

A member of the public found 

his body on the lawn outside 

Otautahi Community Housing 

Trust flats on Sparks Rd at 

7.30am. Police say the man died 

suddenly and it was not being 

treated as suspicious. 

Scammer still not 

identified 

Police are still working to identify 

and locate the scammer who has 

been threatening people with 

violence if they do not pay up. 

Nineteen complaints have been 

received from people targeted by 

the sinister scam, involving phone 

calls and texts to victims who are 

told the caller is from the Mongrel 

Mob, Highway 61 or Black Power. 

A police spokesman said inquiries 

were ongoing. 

Menacing dog plan 

costs council nearly $5k 

The city council spent $4811 on 

external legal advice on where 

dogs classed as menacing should 

be muzzled. It came after the 

city council sent letters to all 

menacing dog owners saying 

their animals had to wear 

muzzles when in their homes or 

backyards. It caused uproar so the 

city council then sought external 

advice from Buddle Findlay and 

made a U-turn. The city council 

refused to release the advice it 

received or any correspondence 

on the issue to The Star.

Detective interviews 

WINZ killer in prison 

•From page 1 

During his police 

interview last week he is 

believed to have given a 

detailed account of his old 

car, how he used to camp 

near Bentley’s abduction 

site, the reasons for his 

Australia move, and his 

knowledge of the Bentley 

family. 

It’s believed that Tully, 

who is serving life imprisonment 

with a minimum 

non-parole period of 27 

years for the WINZ slayings, 

was one of three 

suspects police have been 

looking at closely, the NZ 

Herald reported. 

More than 300 persons of 

interest have been looked 

at, including Kirsty’s father 

Sid Bentley, who denied 

any involvement in her 

disappearance or murder. 

He died of cancer in 2015, 

aged 64. 

Both he and Kirsty’s 

brother John were interviewed 

simultaneously at 

different police stations 

during the inquiry into the 

murder. 

Russell John Tully 

Detective Inspector 

Murton said last March 

that Tully, was being scrutinised. 

“There’s probably 20 or 

30 reasons why someone 

could be of interest to us in 

relation to the case, either 

being there or previous 

history, or connections, 

and there are lots of people 

in that category,” he said at 

the time. 

“And until they are 

eliminated, and sometimes 

that’s impossible, then they 

remain a person of interest, 

without being a suspect, so

to speak.” 

Tully was found guilty 

two years ago of storming 

the Ashburton WINZ centre 

at 9.51am on September 

1, 2014, and shooting dead 

receptionist Peggy Noble, 

67, from point blank range 

and shooting case manager 

Susan Leigh Cleveland, 55, 

three times as she pleaded 

for her life. 

Tully has lodged appeals 

against his conviction 

and sentence. A Court of 

Appeal spokeswoman this 

week confirmed no hearing 

date has yet been set.

Are you prepared 

for another quake? 

•From page 1 

Ms Petersen said as time moves 

on from major emergency events 

like 2010 and 2011 people become 

less prepared. She said new residents 

moving to the city also has 

an impact on figures. 

Psychologist John McClure said 

people become “complacent” as 

their “sense of risk” fades. 

“If people had not been harmed 

or directly affected, memory tends 

to fade . . . but being prepared is 

very important, you never know 

what might happen and when.” 

However, both said there was 

more that could be done to improve 

awareness. 

“One thing that might help is 

an annual event, a bit like when 

you’re encouraged to change your 

smoke alarms during daylight 

saving,” Prof McClure said. 

He said another way would be 

through Government legislation. 

“It applies to building standards, 

but not emergency kits. 

Building standards are more 

immediately important, but these 

other things could also be saving 

lives.” 

Civil Defence has launched the 

‘Never Happens? Happens’ campaign 

to get preparedness back on 

people’s radars. 

FAST FACTS 

•98 per cent said 

earthquakes are the most 

likely disaster to affect 

Canterbury 

•76 per cent said 

earthquakes were of most 

concern 

•47 per cent said they have 

enough water stored to last 

three days, while 92 per 

cent had enough food 

•49 per cent said they have 

taken steps to prepare for a 

disaster 

•However, only 12 per cent 

said they feel “very well” 

prepared for a disaster 

“We want people to talk to each 

other – family, friends, workplaces, 

community – and consider 

different situations they might 

face and develop a plan for them,” 

Ms Petersen said. 

She said people needed to be 

thinking long term. It comes at 

the same time as the release of the 

ProjectAF8 report. ProjectAF8 

lays out what would happen in 

the South Island in the event of a 

magnitude 8 earthquake from the 

Alpine Fault. On average there is 

a quake from the fault every 300 

years, the last in 1717. 

The week so far . . . 

•The city council will lower 

the amount of chlorine it 

is adding to the city’s 

water after public 

outcry over the taste 

and smell. Council city 

services general manager 

David Adamson said 

the chlorine doses at 27 

of the 53 pump stations 

being treated would be 

reduced from 1 part per 

million to 0.5 parts per 

million. The change was 

expected to take two 

weeks. 

•A private water well 

is proving popular for 

people who do not want 

to drink chlorinated 

water, just as it did after 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. Cashmere’s 

Lotus at Siam Thai Day 

Spa owner Duncan Laing 

said thousands had been 

coming to stock up on 

the untreated water running 

out of a pipe from 

the Ernlea Tce property 

each week. He had not 

seen that many people 

using it since he made 

the water available from 

the private well in the 

wake of the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. “It is just 

unbelievable,” he said. 

•Police are searching 

for three men after they 

robbed an east Christchurch 

dairy. A police 

spokeswoman said the 

robbers entered the shop 

in Bowhill Rd, North New 

Brighton, at 8.30am on 

Tuesday. They stole lighters 

and filters before fleeing. 

No-one was injured, 

but police are seeking 

witnesses. 

•Some city councilowned 

social housing 

units closed because 




of methamphetamine 

contamination may be 

reopened. It comes after 

Housing Minister Phil 

Twyford released the 

findings of a report on 

Tuesday looking into the 

health risks of methamphetamine 

residue in 

homes. It found “there 

are no published (or robust,

Shellfish 

numbers 

threatened 

• By Sarla Donovan 

COCKLE NUMBERS in the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary are in 

serious decline. 

A six-month study shows the 

population has fallen dramatically 

since a 2012 survey, from 

around 400 per sq m to between 

50 and 80 per sq m in some areas. 

Biological sciences student 

Stephanie Hampson has been 

researching the extent and impact 

of harvesting on the health 

and sustainability of estuary 

shellfish beds – an important 

feeding ground for birds. 

The results suggest the current 

limit of 150 cockles per person 

per day is too high and needs to 

be reduced or even a ban put in 

place, Ms Hampson said. 

A survey of 100 estuary users 

found some were collecting in 

groups as large as nine; collectively 

they could take more than 

1000 cockles in one day and still 

be within the limit. 

Most people didn’t know what 

the limit was. 

Beds alongside the causeway 

and yacht club were heavily 

depleted. 

ACT NOW 

If you are insured with State, NZI or any 

IAG policy, you have until 30 June 2018 

before they can use the Limitation Act to 

decline your earthquake claim.

Chch – city of opportunities 


THE CITY of opportunity. 

That’s how Christchurch is 

being marketed through the 

development of a new education 

website. 

The city council’s “city of 

opportunity” project team has 

developed a web page for young 

people to locate and take advantage 

of “education opportunities 

and information” 

within 

the city. 

“Christchurch 

aims to 

be a city of 

opportunity 

where 

anything is 

possible and 

John Filsell 

that concept 

of endless opportunity 

needs to be available 

to children and to young people 

as well,” city council head of 

community sport, governance 

and partnerships John Filsell 

said. 

He said the website, which 

will be an overview of all “out of 

school” education opportunities 

in the city, is due to be launched 

in June this year. 

“Promotion and marketing 

will commence after the 300- 

INNOVATION: Christchurch is becoming an innovation hub 

with the launch of a new website featuring educational 

opportunities across the city. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

plus learning opportunities are 

uploaded,” he said. 

Mr Filsell said last April 

and May a scoping report was 

completed to investigate learning 

experiences and opportunities 

available for children and young 

people in the city. 

“Currently there is no holistic 

overview of these learning 

experiences and opportunities or 

the community of providers and 

supporters who create, sustain 

and deliver them,” he said. 

Which is where the website, 

yet to have be named, comes in. 

City councillor and innovation 

and sustainable development 

committee chairwoman Vicki 

Buck said the launch is “very 

exciting.” 

“There are huge numbers of 

amazing educational opportunities 

for kids in the city that they 

can take advantage of,” she said. 

Cr Buck said the new website 

embodied the term “city of 

opportunity” and offered it to 

young people. 

“It’s a city of opportunity 

. . . where anything is possible 

and that’s true for anyone from 

four-years-old right up to 25,” 

she said. 

But where did the term “city of 

opportunity” come from? 

A ChristchurchNZ spokeswoman 

said the city of opportunity 

had been used for a 

while and was part of the city 

council’s strategic framework in 

the Long Term Plan and within 

the Christchurch Economic 

Development Strategy, adopted 

last year. 

It originally came from the 

work that the airport undertook 

with key leaders across the city 

to develop “The Christchurch 

Story” marketing campaign. 

“More recently Christchurch- 

NZ and our local government 

partners have embraced city of 

opportunity and exploration as 

this celebrates our history and 

future,” she said. 

But she said the Garden City 

was still used “within the wider 

narrative” used to describe the 

city. 

Growing 

role as an 

Antarctic 

gateway 


THE CITY is moving to 

strengthen its role as a gateway to 

Antarctica. 

The city council has endorsed 

the Christchurch Antarctic Gateway 

Strategy, developed through 

The Antarctic Office and handed 

leadership for the project over to 

ChristchurchNZ 

ChristchurchNZ will work 

with the city council, Christchurch 

Airport and the Lyttelton 

Port Company, as well as the 

scientific community, tertiary institutes 

and arts organisations, on 

plans which include redeveloping 

McMurdo and Scott bases. 

Other proposals include working 

with the Ministry of Foreign 

Affairs and Trade to establish 

the city as the permanent home 

of the Council of Managers of 

National Antarctic Program by 

2021. An impact study by Lincoln 

University estimated that in 2016 

Antarctic-related activities make 

a $253 million contribution to 

the Canterbury economy.

A new experience.

Casino expands facial recognition 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

CHRISTCHURCH Casino 

has rolled out its own facial 

recognition technology to 

identify problem gamblers and 

is looking at expanding what it 

can do. 

Chief executive Brett Anderson 

said after a six-month trial, 

the technology, developed by 

Cognetic, had proved successful. 

“Now we’re looking at how 

further we 

can take it and 

adapt it and 

increase its 

capabilities.” 

He said that 

could include 

scanning how 

Brett 

Anderson 

long punters 

had been at 

the casino to 

identify whether they might have 

a gambling problem. 

The casino has cameras at 

the main entrance which scans 

every face. It then compares 

them with its database of people 

who have been either voluntarily 

excluded through treatment 

agencies, banned by the casino, 

or excluded through a concerned 

third party. 

“It alerts us someone has entered 

the premises, we approach 

that person and remind them of 

their status,” Mr Anderson said. 

Previously, staff had to use 

“good old fashioned facial 

memory,” but this meant a much 

faster response time, he said. 

He said along with the casino’s 

other policies it was a step in 

the right direction to reduce 

gambling-related harm. 

It comes as a new system, 

called Guardian, is being trialled 

in 15 bars and clubs nationally, 

which scans faces as people 

enter gaming rooms. 

It then checks them against a 

cloud-based database of people 

who have voluntarily excluded 

themselves. If there is a match, 

staff would be alerted and could 

ask them to leave. 

Hospitality NZ Canterbury 

Branch president Peter Morrison 

said facial recognition would 

help problem gamblers, but also 

hospitality staff, who currently 

have to rely on recognising faces. 

As of March, there were 1334 

non-casino pokie machines in 

Christchurch and Banks Peninsula. 

Guardian was developed by 

COMS Systems and Torutek, 

NEW: Facial 

recognition 

technology is 

being trialled 

in gaming 

rooms at 

pubs and 

clubs, while 

Christchurch 

Casino is 

looking 

at how to 

expand its 

system. 

at the request of the gaming 

industry. 

The Salvation Army Oasis 

national operations manager 

Lisa Campbell said the team supported 

129 people in Canterbury 

who were harmed by pub and 

club pokie gambling. 

She said Guardian would be 

good, but would depend on the 

system’s accuracy and the buy-in 

of the sector. 

“For this system to work effectively 

we’ll need everyone 

on board and using the same 

national electronic system. 

RADIO PROGRAMME 

The Salvation Army has 

launched radio episodes 

to highlight problem 

gambling and how 

people can overcome it. 

Hedge Your Bets is a 

monthly 25min show 

presented by the team 

at The Salvation Army’s 

Oasis airing on Plains FM. 

It looks at problem 

gambling, how to help 

and tells real stories from 

people who have dealt 

with it. 

There are also issues to work 

out around privacy of personal 

information, ownership of data, 

the cost and who will pay.’’ 

Problem Gambling Foundation 

of New Zealand chief executive 

Paula Snowdon said she had 

seen the Guardian technology 

work and it was “brilliant.” 

She said the Guardian system 

worked “privately and respectfully” 

and would go a long way 

to helping both venues and 

problem gamblers. 

A Ministry of Health spokeswoman 

said it was aware of support 

for facial recognition. 

“The ministry is considering 

this initiative, including any 

privacy and legal issues.” 

GOING AWAY THIS QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND? 

For those of you heading off for a break this long weekend please take 

the time to check real-time travel information before you head off and 

be prepared for increased traffic volumes. 

Drivers have two options for travel in the Upper 

South Island between Picton and Christchurch. 

• SH1 via Kaikōura is now open 24/7 but 

construction is ongoing (north and south) 

with delays and some single lanes. 

• The alternate Picton to Christchurch route 

via the Lewis Pass is open 24/7 (but check 

before travel as winter conditions may cause 

the Lewis Pass to be closed temporarily). 

Both routes will be busy so whichever one you 

choose the NZ Transport Agency advises you 

allow plenty of time for your trip, especially 

if you are catching a ferry or are on a tight 

schedule. 

The NZ Transport Agency encourages 

everyone heading off for a break to ‘know before 

you go’ and check the holiday hotspots map: 

www.nzta.govt.nz/hotspots. The map collates 

data from previous Queen’s Birthday Weekend 

journeys and advises on the best time to leave to 

avoid the rush. 

With the change in season it is also time to 

prepare for winter driving to stay safe: 

• Take the time to check your vehicle is in 

good condition – tyres/spare tyre, indicators, 

windshield wipers, lights 

• Be prepared by travelling with warm clothes, 

food, water and a fully charged cell phone 

• A flat battery is the most common cause 

of winter breakdowns. If it’s more than 

five years old it may struggle in the cold. 

Get it checked and replaced if necessary 

• Keep at least a quarter of a tank of fuel in 

case of any unexpected delays 

Drivers need to be patient, cautious and 

courteous. Take your time and be prepared 

for the unexpected. 

And remember, over holiday periods many 

drivers are on unfamiliar roads, so please 

be patient as we are all in this situation at 

some stage. 

HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE: 

• Plan your journey between Picton and 

Christchurch and get real-time information 

via www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c or call 

0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49). 

We recommend checking at least two hours 

before you travel and while on your trip 

• Check the MetService weather forecast 

before you head away



Region’s rebuild rumbles on 

PLANS FOR a $15 million 

central city art museum, a 

hospitality outlet in Lyttelton 

and a new name for the 

Convention Centre were all 

revealed yesterday. 

The Ravenscar Trust and 

Canterbury Museum released 

the final design of the delayed 

Ravenscar House, which will 

start being built on Rolleston 

Ave in October. 

Built using earthquake 

rubble from Jim and Susan 

Wakefield’s original Ravenscar 

House in Scarborough and the 

Arts Centre, it will be gifted 

to Canterbury Museum when 

complete in 2020. 

Meanwhile, Lyttelton 

Port Company has received 

strong interest to tenant Te 

Ana Marina’s Woolstore 

development. 

Knight Frank’s Craig Edwards 

said the renovated building 

would become a hospitality hub, 

possibly for a brewery, the seafood 

industry and a restaurant. 

The $475 million Convention 

Centre will be called Te Pae, 

which means gathering space. 

Otakaro spent $30,000 

developing the name, back story, 

logo, and design work for the 

brand. It will open in 2020. 

EXCITING: The 

Woolstore next 

to Lyttelton’s 

Te Ana Marina 

is being 

renovated and 

could become 

a hospitality 

hub. 

NEW: 

Construction on 

Ravenscar House 

will begin in 

October. 

PROGRESS: 

The Convention 

Centre will be 

known as Te Pae. 




Earthquake 

survivor 

earns award 

EARTHQUAKE survivor Ann 

Brower has won a prestigious award 

for her work on building reform. 

Dr Brower’s life was changed by 

the February 22. 2011, earthquake. 

She was the only survivor of 13 

people in a bus crushed by falling 

masonry from the un-reinforced 

parapet and facade 

of a Colombo St 

building. 

Dr Brower was 

awarded the Gama 

Foundation’s Critic 

and Conscience 

of Society Award, 

which comes with a 

$50,000 cheque for 

Ann Brower 

her work on reforming the country’s 

Building Act after the quake. 

The ‘Brower Amendment’ was 

made to the Building Act last year. 

Cabinet shortened the time frame 

for reinforcing masonry in an 

aftershock zone from 15 years to 12 

months 

Dr Brower’s experience also led 

her to launch the Little Guy’s Guide 

to Making a Difference for scientists 

and engineers to raise issues in their 

fields. 

She will give a public lecture at 

Canterbury University today from 

7pm.

Plan to reduce Brougham St noise 


BUSY BROUGHAM St will get 

a makeover to make it less noisy 

for residents. 

THe New Zealand Transport 

Agency has included a plan for 

$10 million noise improvements 

along parts of State Highways 

76 Brougham St and 74 Dyers 

Rd westbound in its draft 

investment proposal 

It comes as a $20 million 

corridor improvement for 

Brougham St has also been 

included in a bid to reduce 

congestion. 

THere are about 40,000 

vehicles that use the SH76 

thoroughfare between the 

Southern Motorway and 

Lyttelton Port, including 5000 

heavy vehicles. 

“Noise mitigation in the 

programme will comprise 

low-noise road surfaces or 

noise walls. The details of the 

mitigation will be decided 

following detailed investigation 

and design for each site. For sites 

in Christchurch the mitigation 

is likely to comprise low-noise 

surfacing rather than noise 

walls,” an NZTA spokesperson 

said. 

Low-noise surfacing involves 

NOISE: Parts of Brougham St and Dyers Rd have been identified by the NZTA as needing 

noise walls. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

a special type of asphalt that 

reduces the noise of vehicles 

travelling over it. 

But the work is also intended 

to support “environmental 

outcomes” along heavy 

transport corridors such as 

Brougham St and Dyers Rd as 

part of the Government Policy 

Statement on land transport by 

reducing emissions. 

“Noise mitigation by low-noise 

surfaces or noise walls reduce 

people’s (residents, nearby 

businesses) exposure to noise 

and reduce adverse health 

effects,” the spokesperson said. 

SH74 and 76 were the only 

roads in Canterbury identified 

as suitable for noise barriers. 

THe exact locations of the 

noise mitigation will not be 

confirmed until “further 

analysis” of the areas are 

complete. 

THe work is part of a new 

nationwide highway noise 

mitigation project run by NZTA, 

the spokesperson said. 

“A programme business case is 

being prepared to seek approval 

for funding from the board of 

the NZTA.” 

Traffic chaos 

expected 

this weekend 


MOTORISTS ARE being warned 

to avoid the Addington area this 

Queen’s Birthday Weekend. 

There will be “significant 

delays” in the area as Whiteleigh 

Ave between Lincoln Rd and 

Troup Dr will be closed from 6am 

Saturday to Tuesday while the 

railway line is upgraded. 

North and southbound traffic 

will be detoured via Lincoln Rd, 

Wrights Rd, Matipo St and Blenheim 

Rd. 

Traffic travelling east and west 

will be detoured via Lincoln Rd, 

Moorhouse Ave and Blenheim Rd. 

Entry into Tower Junction 

Mega Centre will be closed from 

Clarence St, however, will remain 

open on Blenheim Rd. 

Properties will still be accessible 

from side streets surrounding the 

road closure. 

Roads in the central city will 

also be closed on Sunday for the 

ASB Christchurch Marathon. 

Race time is 8am and widespread 

travel disruption is to be 

expected. There will be traffic 

restrictions in place from 5am 

until 2pm with no vehicle travel 

across the city.

Lottery win? Watch out it could be a scam 


A TOURISM brochure with a 

winning USD$200,000 lottery 

ticket is the latest scam to hit 

Christchurch. 

The Department of Internal 

Affairs website said there has 

been about 200 incarnations of 

the “Malaysian Travel Scratchie” 

scam – the latest, known as 

Asian Focus Tourism, was 

posted to addresses around the 

city last week. 

The scam is a letter with 

a professionally produced 

brochure and two scratch 

and win tickets, revealing a 

USD$200,000 prize. 

“Malaysian holiday/scratch 

ticket scam changes the name 

on the brochures being sent out 

but the content on the brochure 

and the amount of money you 

have won stays the same,” the 

DIA website said. 

Recipients have to send their 

personal details back to the 

company and are then asked to 

transfer money to a bank account 

in order to claim the false 

prize. 

“Winners between the first 

and third prize are obliged to 

provide required information 

for further verification,” the 

ticket said. 

Consumer NZ said you should 

never respond to an unsolicited 

email, letter or phone call. 

“Scammers work hard to appear 

trustworthy, and it’s good 

to do some research or thinking 

before you engage with a person 

or opportunity,” it said. 

It said if you receive a letter, 

phone call or email, to be “suspicious” 

and do research before 

sending your personal details. 

In March Reiana Janine 

Hilton pleaded guilty to multiple 

counts of fraud after being 

involved in a scam targeting 

elderly women. 

Her sentencing was delayed at 

the start of the month due to a 

failed drug test. 

Hilton was part of a group of 

offenders obtained more than 

$270,000 from at least 30 victims, 

aged between 74 and 95. 

The women were called and 

told there was an issue with their 

power or telephone account 

that needed to be resolved with 

money, otherwise the power or

Door-to-door salespeople 

claiming to be from Meridian 

targeted elderly people in 

Halswell and Aidanfield in 2014. 

They also threatened to cut 

their power if they did not hand

the DIA through the scamwatch. 

co.nz website. Or the letter can 

be posted to Electronic Messaging

of Internal Affairs, PO Box

HOW TO AVOID SCAMS 

•Never reply to any email or 

letter asking you to confirm 

your bank or credit card details. 

Legitimate organisations 

will never ask you to do this. 

The same applies if you’re 

asked for this information 

over the phone. 

•If you’re buying goods online, 

check the billing process is 

secure. Ensure the business 

has a physical address and 

telephone number. 

•Research the firms you’re 

dealing with. Use the Companies 

Register to see if the 

company exists and who’s 

behind it. 

•Don’t be swayed by coldcallers 

promising bargain 

deals or instant riches if you 

sign up on the spot. Legitimate 

companies will give you 

time to do your research. 

•If you think you’ve been 

scammed, report it to police. 

If you’ve handed over your 

bank details, contact your 

bank and immediately suspend 

your account. Fraudulent 

credit card transactions 

can sometimes be reversed.

The horrors of war to 

ACE: Alexander ‘Sandy’ Brunt training to be pilot in England 

in late 1940 or early 1941. The plane in the background is 

thought to be a Tiger Moth. 

• By Sarla Donovan 

A WAR veteran who saw the 

horrors of atomic devastation in 

Japan and was involved in raids 

behind enemy lines has died. 

Sandy Brunt, who was later 

awarded the MBE for his services 

to the community in Christchurch, 

was 99. 

Mr Brunt led the 

volunteer team at the 

Cathedral Square 

police kiosk for 13 

years. He was involved 

in its inception in 

1986, and the ‘Speak 

Up’ campaign which 

encouraged people to 

report crime earned 

him an MBE. 

His long-time 

friend, retired Detective 

Inspector Mal 

Griebel, said Mr Brunt 

was the ideal man to 

run the volunteer team 

because he had a great 

passion for justice. 

He was one of the nicest, most 

decent people he’d ever met, said 

Mr Griebel. 

“He willingly gave of his time 

to help the community, his family, 

his church, the New Zealand 

Police and, even when he was in 

Alexander ‘Sandy’ 

Brunt 

his late 80s, visited the elderly and 

the lonely.” 

Mr Brunt joined the New 

Zealand Division of the Royal 

Navy Volunteer Reserve in 1940, 

serving in the Fleet Air Arm from 

1941-45. 

His first assignment was an 

18-month stint with an Albacore 

Squadron – the 826 – based in 

Egypt. 

The biplanes were 

mainly involved in 

desert operations, 

dropping flares to 

pinpoint enemy 

targets for RAF 

bombers. 

His Distinguished 

Service Cross was 

awarded for his part 

in an attack on an 

enemy convoy while 

operating from a 

temporary airstrip 

behind enemy lines 

in the desert. 

Returning to 

Britain in 1943, Mr Brunt was 

posted to the 834 Squadron 

stationed in Exeter, which at 

the time was operating against 

enemy motor torpedo boats in the 

English Channel. 

Shortly after the 834 Squadron 

was transferred to Ireland, 

where they “worked up” the 

aircraft carriers HMS Hunter 

and HMS Battler before being 

sent for six months into the Red 

Sea to conduct anti-submarine 

patrols between Aden and Bombay. 

At the end of June, 1945, he was 

posted to the HMS Speaker which 

was part of the British Pacific 

Fleet for the remainder of World 

War 2. 

The HMS Speaker went to Nagasaki 

and took out prisoners of 

war from the camps. 

Mr Griebel said he’d heard his 

friend talk about the experience 

on just one occasion. 

“He said when he got there he 

was appalled at the devastation. 

He couldn’t grasp the magnitude 

of what had happened,” recalled 

Mr Griebel. 

After returning from the war, 

he joined the Sumner Cricket 

Club and went on to play until the 

age of 49. 

He had hoped to play until he 

was 50, but said that when you get 

to the stage where you “drop all 

your catches, get no wickets and 

don’t make any runs, it’s time to 

give it away.” 

In 1954 he married Rona 

and shortly after built a house on 

Kinsey Tce in Sumner.

community service 

The couple lived there 

until the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Mrs Brunt said her 

husband was a handyman 

who was “capable of doing 

anything.” 

They raised two children 

– a son Tony and daughter 

Jenny. 

An active member of the 

Sumner Lifeboat Institution 

for several years, he went 

on to establish the Sumner 

Lifeboat Replacement Fund 

and was a charter member of 

the Christchurch South Lions 

Club in 1966. 

Tony said in a speech at his 

father’s 90th birthday that 

Mr Brunt was a man of courage 

and conviction. 

“Someone who set himself 

goals and worked diligently 

to reach them. But they have 

seldom been selfish goals. It’s 

fair to say that most of dad’s 

energies have gone to making 

other people’s lives better.” 

Mr Brunt was born on 

August 14, 1918, and died on 

May 21. 

A memorial service will be 

held at 2pm on Tuesday at St 

Andrews Church, Main Rd, 

Redcliffs. 

OPERATION: Sandy Brunt went to devastated Nagasaki on 

the HMS Speaker to take out prisoners of war. 

Stepping stone in 

Quarryman’s Trail 

THE FIRST stage of a cycle route 

that will eventually connect 

Halswell and the central city is 

nearing completion with the last 

few intersections and crossings 

opening soon. 

Construction work started 

on the Quarryman Trail cycleway 

last October. The first 

4.6km stage of the route, from 

Moorhouse Ave to Victors Rd, is 

expected to be finished by the end 

of June. In the next few weeks, 

traffic signals will be turned on 

at two new intersections and 

two new controlled crossings for 

cyclists and pedestrians. 

A pedestrian and cyclist crossing 

from Rydal St to Sparks Rd 

near Hoon Hay School became 

operational last week. Signals at 

the Lyttelton St and Sparks Rd 

intersection have been put in and 

traffic lights will go in at Sparks 

Rd and Hoon Hay Rd from 

Tuesday. 

Another pedestrian and cyclist 

crossing has been built at the 

intersection of Barrington St and 

Strauss St and will open in June 

once the new shared path connecting 

Roker St and Barrington 

St is finished. 

NEARLY FINISHED: Cycle 

lanes being constructed at 

the Sparks Rd and Lyttelton St 

intersection. 

The contractor, Isaac Construction 

Ltd, has completed the 

intersection upgrades using ‘deep 

lift asphalt’. This is a relatively 

new technique where the asphalt 

is a thicker layer than usual and 

allowed faster construction. It 

is also stronger and more longlasting, 

reducing future maintenance, 

the city council said. 

Fulton Hogan has worked on 

the section of the Quarryman’s 

Trail between Moorhouse Ave 

and Roker St, which is already 

open and includes two new and 

three upgraded intersections. 

The final stage of the cycleway 

from Victors Rd to Te Hapua in 

Halswell will be constructed at 

a later date subject to funding 

availability.

QE II, red zone come to life 

I FEEL VERY privileged to 

be invited to be part of the 

opening of the new Taiora: QE 

II Recreation and Sport Centre. 

I’m really looking forward to 

seeing it. 

Anyone over 45 years of 

age will remember QE II 

Park being built for the 1974 

Commonwealth Games. 

It’s been such an important 

part of our history. 

The decision after the 

earthquakes to build a brand 

new community facility at 

this site ensures that there will 

always be local access to an 

excellent facility. 

And with the anonymous gift 

from a donor wanting to support 

the children of the east, there is 

so much more here than would 

otherwise be the case. 

In addition, the sale of land 

to the Ministry of Education 

for the two schools means there 

is funding available to develop 

and implement a master plan 

for the rest of the QE II Park 

in consultation with the local 

community. 

Last weekend I attended 

the opening of Regenerate 

Christchurch’s Red Zone Futures 

exhibition, which will run until 

Saturday, June 30, at 99 Cashel 

St in Cashel Mall (the former 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

FIRST DIP: Pai Wynyard, Bella van Nobelen, Joe Kennedy 

and Amy Hughes celebrate the opening of the new QE II 

pool. 


Quake City site). There will also 

be an online exhibition and 

mobile exhibitions at public 

spaces around Christchurch. 

I spoke to some of the 

community people who had 

helped with ideas to support the 

exhibition, and they told me that 

they had felt listened to. 

What was highlighted for 

me was the sheer scale of the 

Otakaro-Avon River Corridor 

and the enormous sense of 

possibility it represents. 

I really recommend that 

everyone takes the opportunity 

to look at the work that has been 

done and have your say. 

Readers respond to 

recent issues: 

•Do the following statistics 

about young adults point to 

a sickening society? In 2014, 

more than 80 per cent of young 

drivers breached driving licence 

conditions. 

In 2015, more than 70 per cent 

of young drivers didn’t pay fines 

in spite of the risk of 

criminal conviction. 

The Ministry of Social 

Development reported 

that 70 per cent of jobs 

required a driver’s 

license. The Ministry 

of Justice advised that 

in 2014, more than 

280 people were incarcerated for 

repeated driver licence offences, 

costing taxpayers some $11 million. 

NZIER reported up to 90,000 

young adults faced significant 

impediments to progressing to 

their full driver’s licence. It is 

believed the reasons included lack 

of confidence, unwillingness to 

bother, lack of money, and not 

having a vehicle – sometimes this 

was the result of write-offs from 

poor driving. 

Simply put, each of us needs 

to act responsibly with our own 

behaviour, and guide those for 

whom we are responsible to do 

likewise. 

– Robert Tait, Opawa 

•It’s a shame that fuel prices 

have risen recently. However, the 

biggest influence on the price of 

fuel in the country is not some 

dealings between Trump and 

Iran, which was a terrible deal 

that had no benefit to anyone except 

Iran. The fuel tax on each litre 

of fuel is currently about $1.30, 

split between central and local 

governments. To add insult to 

injury, the Government 

stacks another 15 per 

cent GST on top of that 

price. What do we get 

in return? 900 million 

in embassies around the 

world thanks to Winston 

(Peters). 

If people want to see a 

reduction in fuel prices, they need 

to petition the Government to 

lower their taxes on fuel and stop 

other wasteful spending. Secondly, 

in response to the woman who 

has had hours cut at Wendy’s, 

when the Government raises the 

minimum wage, employers can 

respond in two ways more or less. 

They can raise the price of their 

products, or cut hours or jobs. 

In this case, as the Government 

aims to raise the minimum wage 

to $20 an hour by the end of its 

term, you can mark my words 

that many more on the minimum 

wage will have their hours cut or 

lose their jobs to automation.

Brodie Kane 

From the small screen 

LOVING IT: Brodie Kane moved back to Christchurch six 

months ago to co-host The Hits breakfast in Christchurch 

with Fitzy. 

PHOTO: BRIDGET RUTHERFORD 

Brodie Kane moved 

back to Christchurch 

six months ago to 

become co-host of 

The Hits Breakfast. 

Bridget Rutherford 

spoke to her about 

the new job 

When and why did you get 

into broadcasting? 

When I was sixth or seventh 

form at Rangiora High School I 

became interested in becoming a 

journalist. I went to Canterbury 

University and did a postgraduate 

diploma in journalism 

with Jim Tully, which was great. 

In university holidays I did 

some work for RadioLIVE and 

got a feel for it and loved it. I 

got my first job in Auckland 

at RadioLIVE. Your love and 

passion for it grows as you find 

the bits you like to do. 

Have you always reported on 

sports? 

I started in general news, with 

an interest in sport. It wasn’t 

actually until the Breakfast role 

I was doing just sport. I worked 

on Seven Sharp and Fair Go on 

consumer issues so I’ve given 

everything a crack, which I’m 

really grateful for. 

Did you want to get into 

broadcasting as a kid? 

I don’t think so, I think when I 

was a kid I just focused on being 

a kid. The one job I actually 

really wanted was to be a pilot, 

to fly those massive planes that 

go down to Antarctica – I was 

obsessed with those. I didn’t 

want to be a princess or any of 

that carry on. Unfortunately, 

being a pilot on one of those 

planes is really quite niche, and 

you had to be good at maths, 

which I was not. 

Have you played a bit of sport 

over the years? 

I played hockey at high school, 

which I really loved. I’ve always 

been heavily involved in surf 

lifesaving. I did nippers then I 

was a lifeguard right through 

my teens and early 20s. I did 

competitive lifesaving as well 

which kept me very busy during 

the summers. From that I found 

it was important to keep a good 

level of fitness. 

You now co-host 

Christchurch’s The Hits 

Breakfast with Fitzy. Why did 

you decide to take up the role 

and move back? 

It was quite a tough decision 

because I lived in Auckland for 

nearly eight years and I had a 

lot of friends up there and loved 

life there. I was at TVNZ for six 

years and wasn’t really sure what 

my path there was going to be. 

This job appealed to me because 

it was a new challenge. They 

wanted me to be who I was – a 

strong female – which is quite 

an honour. It also meant getting 

back home and seeing the family 

a bit more. 

What’s it like working with 

Fitzy? 

The guy is a legend. Not only is 

he funny and kind, he’s loyal and 

he’s so good at what he does. I 

feel really lucky I work alongside 

him. There’s a lot of egos in the 

industry, and he is absolutely not 

one of them. 

What shenanigans do you get 

up to in the studio? 

When the songs are playing 

the yarns, singing and dancing 

takes place. You’re in this weird 

vortex where you get up at stupid 

o’clock in the morning, and the 

energy levels have to stay up the 

whole show. So in the songs I’ll 

be singing away and dancing, 

and he’ll be humming and 

tapping away.

World hip hop champion dance 

company teams up with NZ Top Artists to 

tour New Zealand to help raise awareness 

around depression and anxiety. 

I Am Unbreakable is an inspirational 

tour and social media campaign that exists 

to raise awareness around depression 

and anxiety with people throughout New 

Zealand. 

Positive messages are communicated 

through multi-media, real time social 

media engagement, talk show text in 

panel, and an all-star line-up which 

includes world hip hop 

champion dance company

show in Auckland 

will have MC Clinton 

Randell from tThe Edge 

breakfast show ‘Dom, Meg 

and Randell’, and Northland and 

Christchurch will have Raven Addei from 

Mai Nights. 

“It exists to build strength, resilience 

and to inspire hope, empowering young 

people to discover their identity and 

purpose. We hope to encourage young 

people, their whānau and communities to 

reach out for help. 

The free 30-minute high school show 

is high energy and dynamic and will be 

touring in June. Free community shows 

will be held in each region after each high 

school tour. 

The events utilise one of the most 

powerful art forms in the world, hip hop, 

to engage young people in an effective way 

that resonates with them. All the content 

is clinically reviewed and approved by 

I Am 

Unbreakable 

mental health professionals, and links to 

support services provided after the shows. 

Key campaign messages include: 

- It’s ok not to be ok, you are not alone 

- there is always hope 

- reach out for help by telling your 

friends and whānau 

- talk to your high school counsellor 

- free text 5626 or call 1737, visit 

thelowdown.co.nz, reach out to a local 

community support group 

- there is no shame in asking for help. 

For friends and family, the key messages 

are that it’s good to support a friend or 

family member going through depression 

and anxiety, and let your loved ones know 

that you are there for them. 

The concept was piloted 

by the founder in eight 

cities and reached over 

25,000 young people, 

seeing a significant 

increase in young 

people reaching 

out for face to face 

help, text and phone 

support.

4 LAw/PuzzLEs 

We tend to assume that couples in de 

facto relationships are more likely to be 

members of the younger generations. 

Despite this assumption, it is very 

common for people to enterinto new 

relationships later in life (the desire 

for companionship could hardly be 

said to decrease as we age!). However, 

there are important legal matters 

regarding property that arise from these 

new relationships that need serious 

consideration. 

The law that governs the 

division of relationship 

property is the Property 

(Relationships) Act 

(“the Act”). Under 

the Act, when a de 

facto relationship 

ends there is a 

presumption of a 

50/50 division of 

relationship property. 

This raises a number 

of questions. Firstly, 

how do you know if 

you have a “de facto” 

relationship? And secondly, 

what if you don’t feel that a 50/50 

division is fair in your situation? 

Whether you have a de facto 

relationship or not depends on a number 

of elements that are set out in the Act. 

Firstly, the Act applies to de facto 

relationships of three or more years. But 

determining whether a relationship is de 

facto or not isn’t just limited to whether 

you share a bedroom, or what your 

financial arrangements are. The definition 

of what makes a de facto relationship 

is very broad. This is to ensure that the 

law can allow for the differing ways that 

people live in their relationships. None of 

the elements listed in the Act are essential 

to a de facto relationship – they are all just 

considerations for the Court to take into 

ComPANIoNSHIP 

IN LAtER LIfE 

and the potential 

legal pitfalls 

account. 

It is not surprising that the 50/50 

division can come as a shock and cause 

huge upset for people. There are many 

reasons for this. Perhaps you or your 

partner have children from previous 

relationships that you wish to provide for. 

One of you may bring substantial assets, 

or debts, to a relationship. Or you might 

have ideas of how you would like specific 

assets to be distributed on your passing. 

Fortunately, the Act provides 

an alternative to the 50/50 

division scheme in the 

form of Contracting 

Out Agreements. In 

these Agreements, 

you can set out the 

rules you would 

both like to apply to 

your property if the 

relationship comes 

to an end because of 

separation or death. 

Having a Contracting 

Out Agreement in 

place ensures that there 

is no misunderstanding on 

what you both want to happen after you 

die. You should be aware that as well as 

completing an Agreement, you may also 

need to update your Will so that the terms 

and conditions of your Agreement are 

reflected in your Will. 

Contracting Out Agreements are subject 

to specific requirements under the Act 

– one of which is that both parties must 

receive independent legal advice before 

the agreement is signed. At Harmans 

we have a specialist Family Law Team 

and a specialist Seniors Team who can 

assist with Contracting Out Agreements 

and Estate Planning. Give Harmans a 

call on 352 2293 to discuss your legal 

requirements.

In early 2019, University of Canterbury 

researchers will be part of an international 

effort to explore one of the coldest, 

harshest and most remote locations in the 

world: the Weddell Sea off Antarctica. 

In January and February 2019, a major, 

45-day, international scientific expedition 

– the Weddell Sea Expedition 2019 – 

aims to survey sea ice, the underside of 

the Larsen C Ice Shelf, document the 

rich and little-studied marine life of the 

western Weddell Sea ecosystem, and 

locate the wreck of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 

ship ‘Endurance’, which was trapped and 

crushed by the ice and sank there in 1915. 

An international team of researchers 

from the University of Canterbury 

(UC), the University of Cambridge, 

the Nekton Foundation, and two 

South African universities – including 

glaciologists, marine geologists, marine 

biologists, oceanographers and marine 

archaeologists – will use autonomous 

underwater vehicles (AUVs) to 

survey the sea floor down to 

beyond 3,000 metres, study 

cavities on the underside 

of the ice shelf, and 

search for the wreck of 

the ‘Endurance’. 

UC Glaciologist 

and Remote Sensing 

expert, Associate 

Professor Wolfgang 

Rack of Gateway 

Antarctica, UC’s 

Centre for Antarctic 

Studies and Research, 

will be a vital part of the 

expedition. 

“The international science 

community noticed our knowhow, 

and that’s why we were invited to 

participate in this icebreaker cruise. It 

is great recognition for New Zealand’s 

scientific achievements and ability.” 

Co-ordinating with the underwater 

research and survey work, Professor Rack 

and his UC Gateway Antarctica team, will 

use specially equipped aerial drones to 

measure sea ice thickness and snow depth, 

and will also assist with the navigation 

of the ‘S.A. Agulhas II’ through the 

pack ice in the Weddell Sea. The drone 

measurements will be coordinated with 

data from an upward-looking AUV to 

give a better understanding of the sea ice. 

The UC drones will be operated by a pilot 

from UC’s Spatial Engineering Research 

Centre. 

“As part of the Deep South National 

Science Challenge, the Spatial Engineering 

Research Centre at UC developed a drone 

radar prototype with Lincoln Agritech 

which allows us to measure snow on sea 

ice. This is key to estimating ice thickness 

using satellites, which is what we are going 

to test during this scientific expedition,” 

Professor Rack says. 

Antarctica has about 1.5 million square 

kilometres of floating ice shelves, which 

have been surveyed and studied from 

above, but only very rarely from beneath. 

Many of these ice shelves are thinning and 

UC SCIENtIStS 

INvItED oN 

International Antarctic 

Expedition 

retreating rapidly, possibly impacting sea 

ice, and making scientific investigations 

here very timely. The Larsen A and B ice 

shelves collapsed suddenly in a matter of 

days in 1995 and 2002, respectively, and 

one of the biggest iceberg calving events 

ever recorded took place from Larsen C 

Ice Shelf in July 2017. Sea ice extent in 

this area seems to be stable, seemingly 

a climate paradox which is going to be 

investigated during this voyage. 

The Weddell Sea has been nominated 

as a large, international Marine Protected 

Area, so the expedition will gather vital 

baseline data on the rare and little-studied 

species which inhabit this icy ecosystem, 

as well as studying the key physical 

processes driving changes in the region’s 

sea ice, ocean currents and the fringing ice 

shelves. 

Funded by a charitable trust in 

the Netherlands, The Flotilla 

Foundation, the Weddell 

Sea Expedition 2019 

has a pioneering 

programme of science 

and exploration 

planned, led by 

Professor Julian 

Dowdeswell, Director 

of the Scott Polar 

Research Institute at 

Cambridge University, 

who visited UC earlier 

this year as a Cambridge 

Visiting Fellow. 

“This expedition will give us an 

unprecedented opportunity to investigate 

and explore the complex interplay 

between ice shelves, sea ice, and ocean in 

one of the most remote, and least studied 

places on our planet,” Professor Rack says. 

The Weddell Sea Expedition 2019 aims 

to inspire young people about science, 

engineering and technology, and the 

protection of Antarctica, and is partnering 

with the Royal Geographical Society to 

ensure that the expedition’s research and 

findings are disseminated as widely as 

possible to schools and students around 

the world. 

About gateway 

Antarctica 

Gateway Antarctica is the Centre for 

Antarctic Studies and Research at the 

University of Canterbury. The centre

Antarctica and New Zealand and human 

influences in and on Antarctica. 

Dentures not fitting properly? 

When those of us of a certain 

age were making regular 

visits to the ‘murder 

house’ to get our 

teeth filled, it never 

occurred to anyone in 

the dental industry 

that we would still 

have our own teeth 

50+ years later. 

After all, many of 

our own parents were 

sporting full or partial 

dentures already! 

But the reality is that a 

surprising number of us are 

entering our latter years with all our 

own teeth, and that’s great news. But the 

downside is that the rate of tooth decay 

in people over 65 now outpaces that of 

schoolchildren. 

Teeth are amazingly strong, but they’re 

not indestructible – and a lifetime of 

crunching gnawing and grinding, not

to mention exposure to acidic 

foods, can take its toll. 

So good oral hygience 

becomes even more 

important as the years 

go by. Fortunately 

these days we all 

have access to good 

quality toothpastes 

and brushes. And 

if arthritis or other 

conditions make 

brushing difficult, an 

electric toothbrush can 

be an excellent option. 

But often, despite our best 

efforts, the inevitable happens and 

there is a need for full or partial dentures. 

Again, the advances in technology have 

resulted in significantly improved choices, 

which mean that not only do dentures 

look more natural than in the past, 

they fit better too. So, as we promise at 

Duchenne, you can still eat, talk and smile 

with confidence! 

Ill-fitting dentures can affect your teeth and mouth, 

make eating difficult, and just plain hurt! 

We can reline your dentures for optimal fit and 

comfort, and you’ll be surprised how quick and 

convenient the entire process is.

By RoSS KIddIE 

I’m still amazed that a light commercial 

utility is the top selling vehicle in New 

Zealand. 

I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised, 

it is the same scenario in many overseas 

countries, however, for many years 

mainstream cars were the dominant sellers 

here. 

That has all changed recently, Ford’s 

Ranger has stolen the top spot and it 

dominates new vehicle sales. However, 

Ford can’t be complacent with Ranger, 

Toyota’s Hilux and Holden’s Colorado are 

lurking in its shadows and if you add in 

Mitsubishi’s Triton, Nissan’s Navara and 

a host of others from lower in the price 

range, the choice of ute in New Zealand 

is overwhelming. Add in, too, the new 

prestige X-Class ute from Mercedes-Benz 

and Ford will have to work hard to keep 

Ranger in a dominant position. 

It’s fair to say that Ranger hasn’t changed 

a lot mechanically since it became popular 

four years ago, but it has been refreshed 

considerably all along its journey. 

This evaluation focuses on the Wildtrak 

version. It’s an upmarket model with all 

the bells and whistles you are ever likely 

to find in a ute. Actually, it’s almost unfair 

to call the Ranger a ute, other than its 

length of over 5.3m, it is almost car-like to 

drive. I say that taking into consideration 

it is engineered for load carrying, but 

the Ranger is very sophisticated for what 

could be loosely termed a truck. 

The Ranger is also a lot 

more comfortable than 

ever before, thanks to 

the continual process 

of refinement that 

has gone into its 

manufacturing 

process, it is quieter 

as a vehicle and 

there’s been a 

greater emphasis on 

eliminating road and 

wind noise. 

The Ranger also has 

a controlled ride, I had to 

keep reminding myself that 

there was a deck area behind the rear 

seats; it is smooth in its delivery, yet it is 

the quintessential model for work and 

recreational use. 

Up front sits a five-cylinder 

turbocharged diesel engine which harks 

back to Ford’s Transit programme. I’m a 

bit of a five-potter fan, and the 3.2-litre 

unit lives up to all expectation. It is strong 

toP SELLINg 

utility vehicle 

and smooth and, other than a gruff growl 

under load, it is quiet and efficient. 

Ford rates it at 147kW with 470Nm of 

torque, which are strong outputs capable 

of claiming an under 10sec time to make 

100m/h from a standstill. 

On the subject of figures, Ford also 

claims an 8.9-litre per 100km (32mpg) 

combined cycle fuel usage average. The 

trip computer was constantly listing 

around 10.3l/100km (27mpg) 

during my time with the 

evaluation car. 

These figures are for 

an unladen vehicle, it 

must be taken into 

account the Ranger is 

classed with a 3500kg 

tow figure along with 

a payload weight of 

835kg. 

The Ranger comes 

with a six-speed 

automatic gearbox, it is 

characterised by smooth shifts 

and ratios which don’t load the 

engine, it is happy to work tirelessly low 

down and responds quickly to throttle 

request with strong turbo boost. 

Underneath, the Ranger’s suspension is 

strictly working class. It’s a front-wishbone 

system with a live rear axle located by leaf 

springs. That’s the traditional load bearing 

design, yet it works well, the suspension 

isn’t firmed dramatically, instead the ride 

is comfortable and controlled with just 

a small jiggle or two transmitted incabin 

over the worst of our uneven road 

surfaces. 

The Ranger gets an electronically 

controlled transfer system. In typical fourwheel-drive 

fashion there’s a high and low 

ratio drive system easily manipulated by a 

control console dial. 

According to the terms of Ford’s loan 

agreement, I wasn’t able to take the test 

vehicle off-road, but I did descend a 

short incline into a into a new housing 

development to take photos. Between 

the hill descent control system and the 

seriously low ratio mechanism, serious 

off-road travel is a given. Consider as well, 

Ford claims a 237mm ground clearance 

figure. 

In terms of on-road handling, the 

Ranger steers with well-weighted steering 

and directional accuracy not always found 

in the traditional double-cab ute. 

A work colleague purchased a new 

Ranger a year or two back, and while it 

is his quintessential family vehicle, it is 

frequently put through its paces off-road. 

He, like many other buyers, has discovered 

that the double cab format can used in 

many roles. 

It’s that versatility that has made Ranger 

and most other utes in today’s market the 

vehicle of choice. I can’t see that scenario 

changing any time soon.

down with him and talk about 

music, he would have been a 

highlight. But some of the most 

fun interviews would have been 

with everyday Kiwis. Never underestimate 

the power of a good 

yarn with a Kiwi. 

Has anyone in particular 

inspired you?

There have been so many 

wonderful women who have 

helped my along the way with my 

career, I will not pretend it’s been 

easy. Some of the women who 

have been there have been my 

mum Jo, she’s my best friend and 

has always been there. Briar Mc- 

Cormack, my old boss, was really 

supportive at TVNZ. Shalleen 

Hern was a producer on Seven 

Sharp, she just had my back and 

was so helpful. And the other is 

a remarkable woman who I liken 

to my sister – Hilary Barry. We 

first worked together when she 

was a newsreader on RadioLIVE. 

She’s always got the time, and 

gives great advice. Every morning 

she was the first person you 

would see. She would always say 

‘morning babe’. It was so uplifting 

and nice to get that every 

day. I do remember her one time 

when I had a party at my house. I 

may have fallen asleep at my own 

party, and the next day she sent 

me a photo-shoot of her taking 

photos of me asleep and selfies 

with me. She’s a real larrikin. I 

love to have a drink with her. 

Do you have any silly stories 

about live blunders or bloopers? 

When I worked with Matty 

McLean on Breakfast every day 

was like a blooper. I remember 

when we went on the pirate ship 

at Rainbow’s End and he spewed 

while I was filming him live on 

Facebook. I thought it was hilarious. 

There have been many times 

where I thought, ‘I am the New 

Zealand Bridget Jones’. 

What do you like to do in your 

spare time? 

I like to pretend I live this 

fast-paced, glamorous lifestyle, 

but I don’t really. I’m really into 

my exercise at the moment, I’m 

training a lot for my first full 

marathon in Auckland at the 

end of the year, and I’m doing 

the half marathon at the ASB 

Christchurch Marathon this 

weekend. I love watching Netflix 

shows, l love spending time with 

family and friends. I love eating 

MATES: Co-hosts Brodie 

Kane and Dave Fitzgerald 

like to have a laugh in the 

studio. 

brunch – brunch is a big deal for 

me. And from time to time I love 

to put on my glad rags and go for 

a boogie. When I do that I like to 

make sure I do it right. 

Are you ready for the ASB 

Christchurch half? 

I’m good as gold and ready to 

go. I did the Christchurch one at 

least 10 years ago, and I did the 

Auckland half last year. 

Do you have any siblings? 

I have an older brother and he’s 

got three beautiful children. They 

live in Masterton, I try and get 

there when I can, but they also 

come down here a bit. 

What about a partner? 

No, I don’t have a boyfriend.

Tattoos & art 

in Merivale 


Jetty art 

on display 

Artworks showcasing the 

Governors Bay Jetty are on 

display at the Arts Centre, before 

they are auctioned off on June 

9 to raise money for its rebuild. 

The pieces have been created 

by artists from Lyttelton to Mt 

Herbert, and are on display 

at Pumanawa community 

exhibition space. The auction 

will take place at the Governors 

Bay Hotel from 3pm. The jetty 

was damaged in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake and closed. 

The community is trying to raise 

the funded needed to repair it. 

A gallery of a different kind has opened 

in the heart of Merivale. 

Expression Tattoo and Art has 

moved from its former New Regent St 

premises onto the corner of Papanui 

Rd and St Albans St. 

Store manager Tamryn Howard said 

the previous space was about half the 

size of the new premises, where Plume 

used to be, and was too cramped. 

Owned by Elias Tyro, Expression 

Tattoo and Art doubles as a tattoo 

parlour and showcases art, some of 

which is for sale, however it is still 

in the process of getting all its work 

onto the walls. 

“We have artists creating work for 

us on a regular basis and a few of 

our artists are also available to create 

commissioned paintings and artworks,” 

Tamryn said. 

“We’ve got a diverse range of artworks 

in different media really; tattoo style 

paintings, oil paintings, prints, Māori 

carving, and street art on paper 

or skateboards.” 

She said since opening on the busy 

corner earlier this month, they had 

received a lot of positive feedback, 

especially with how the fit-out had 

turned out. 

“Merivale chose us,” she said. 

“We’ve had quite a few locals pop in 

just for a chat and to see the place, who 

of course, we welcome.” 

Expression’s work is completely 

unique, with every tattoo designed and 

drawn specifically for each client. 

Tamryn said Expression did have the 

option of some pre-drawn designs, but 

each of them were only tattooed once. 

An opening party will be held at the 

new premises on Saturday from 6pm- 

9pm. Anyone who books on the night 

will receive 20 per cent off their next 

tattoo appointment. 

Christmas 

comes early 

Christchurch Farmers’ Market 

is getting ready for its Mid- 

Winter Christmas Market. 

It will be held at Riccarton 

House on June 23. There 

will be mulled wine, kids’ 

entertainments, Christmas 

decorations and stalls from 

9am-1pm.

THE 

How 

Bar 

fly 

Horse and Jockey 

8 Yaldhurst Rd 

Drink selection 

Snacks 

Atmosphere 

Service 

hard is it to convince a punter to upgrade two 

pints to a three-litre beer tower? Not hard all apparently. 

Being upsold seemed to be a trend as soon as I 

ventured into the Horse and Jockey on Saturday 

afternoon. I had invited old mate Marty down for a drink 

to check out the sports bar which opened on Church 

Corner earlier this year. “What can I get you Marty?” 

He replied “a jug of Export”. However, I quickly learnt 

they didn’t have Export on tap. Not to worry, they have 

Carlsberg which is a nice drop. “Can I get that in a jug?” I 

asked. No, but I quickly learned I could have it in a threelitre 

beer tower for $35. Marty didn’t want a bar of it, but 

before he could begin to walk to the bar in protest the 

tower was already half full. 

While all of this was happening I was also being upsold 

on something else by another punter at the bar. You see 

I’d made the mistake of wearing my Liverpool jacket. The 

man hailed from Liverpool but I could tell he had lost 

his Scouse accent over the past 20 years in New Zealand 

because he was pronouncing words through his mouth 

rather than his nose. He proceeded to ask where I was 

watching the Champions League final. I informed him I 

had plans to join a group of friends in town for kick-off 

at 6.45am. However, he told me I should ditch that idea 

because they had a great deal in the morning. “You pay 

50 dollars . . . get a big breakfast . . . and it’s all you can 

drink p**s during the game,” he said. 

As Marty and I tucked into the beer tower I made a 

phone call to pass on the $50 morning booze up idea. 

About 20min later we decided we should get some 

snacks. We weren’t going to blitzkrieg this beer tower. 

We needed to dig in for the long haul. 

Some waffle fries and a pizza hit 

the spot. 

As we ventured onto the home straight 

of the now less imposing beer tower we 

had realised one thing was missing. The 

Horse and Jockey had all the makings 

of a good sports bar. We had multiple 

screens to watch with the races and 

sport. However, it was eyes only due to 

the speaker situated directly above our 

table choosing to play rock ballads. If 

watching live sport isn’t your thing our 

table near the window was also great for 

people watching. Our favourite game of 

the day was guessing which people off the 

street would walk in and hit the pokies. I 

had Marty’s number on that one. 

After accomplishing our mission on the 

tower it was time to depart. The Horse and 

Jockey won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but if 

you’re after a spot to enjoy a few quiets with 

a friend or take on a beer tower for the big 

game it’s worth a visit.

New eateries 

planned for lane complex 

Several eateries are planned to open in the new Lichfield Lanes 

complex. Lichfield Lanes, developed in the Innovaton Precinct next 

to Dux Central, was developed by Studio D4, which is now selling 

three of the fully tenanted ground floor units. Alvarado’s Mexican 

Cantina has already moved into the complex, while Jaba Grill and 

Bar is set to open soon. Other tenants who have signed on are Sushi 

Pop, The Kiwi Viking Subs, Neapolis Bar and Turkish Kebabs. Black 

and White Coffee Cartel has also started operating in the lanes. 

The complex opens into a courtyard, which has overhead lighting, 

murals, planting and seating. 

Coffee 

Culture 

for the 

central city 

The Crossing will get 

another coffee shop. 

Coffee Culture looks set 

to open in the central city 

development, with a sign 

having been installed on 

the window of one of the 

empty spaces. It will be the 

12th Coffee Culture to open 

in Christchurch. 

Williams directs 

his own music video 

Lyttelton songwriter Marlon Williams 

has self-directed his new music 

video is for his latest single, Party 

Boy, from the album Make Way For 

Love. It is set in a gothic-techno 

night club, and showcases the 

people that come off the street and 

make everyone feel uncomfortable. 

“I’ve never directed anything before. 

I can’t even direct my dirty laundry 

into a washing machine. So this was 

an eye opening experience,” Marlon 

said. “I present an exploration 

into the dynamic between the 

individual and the pack. Antisocial 

behaviour will not be tolerated and 

ostracisation will be the result.” 

Marlon is currently touring through 

New Zealand this month. 

Royal gelato fix 

Still can’t get enough of the royal wedding? To 

celebrate the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’ marriage, 

Rollickin Gelato has come up with three new 

special flavours. The Prince Charming has whipped 

milk chocolate gelato and layers of choc hazelnut 

crunch, while the Meghan Markle Sparkles is 

smooth organic milk gelato layered with cookies, 

Oreos and vanilla cream biscuits. Meanwhile, the 

Queen of Plums is made up of juicy doris plums 

whipped into a silky smooth sorbet.

BEYOND THE GRAVE: DEATH IN ANCIENT TIMES 

In spite of the distance of time, it is possible to catch a glimpse of what 

death meant for ordinary Greeks and Romans through the artefacts 

they left behind. Beyond the Grave includes poignant inscriptions on 

tombstones, dramatic scenes in plays, carefully sculpted memorials, 

and detailed images of funeral rites painted on vases. All these point 

to the fact that in ancient times, as now, how we approach the subject 

of death can reveal a great deal about what each of our cultures values 

most about life. Free admission.

Gardening 




Keep veges growing to protect beds 

ALTHOUGH THE weather has 

cooled, there are still a few tasks 

to be done in the garden at this 

time of year. 

Here are some tips to get you 

started. 

•Vege gardens – The winter 

vege garden should be well 

established by now and most of 

your seedlings should already be 

planted. Continue to sow broad 

beans and transplant seedlings 

of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli 

and silverbeet for a continuous 

supply over winter. Sow green 

manure crops such as lupin and 

mustard in the parts of the vege 

garden that will be empty during 

the winter months. This will add 

nutrients into the soil and protect 

beds over winter. 

•Strawberries – It’s the 

traditional time of the year for 

final preparation and planting 

of strawberry plants. Areas to 

be planted should be mounded 

80-100cm above existing ground 

level. Incorporate large amounts 

of compost into the strawberry 

bed. New plants or offsets from 

last year’s plants should be 

planted 15-20cm apart. 

•Fruit trees – Pip and stone 

fruit will have shed their leaves 

and pruning can now begin. We 

do this as early possible with 

CHORES: Plant broad beans now for a continuous supply. It’s also time to trim your hedges. There will be little growth over the 

winter so they should stay tidy until spring. 

pip and stone fruit to avoid the 

infection of silver leaf. Remove 

all weak and inward growing 

branches and reduce the height 

of trees to allow for easy picking 

and maintenance. After pruning, 

spray with a copper compound to 

help prevent any re-infection of 

fungal diseases. 

•Hedges – It’s an ideal time 

for a final tidy up and hedge 

trims. But remember, there will 

be no new growth until spring, 

so final trims should not be too 

vigorous so the plants don’t stay 

bare looking. 

•Roses – It is possibly a 

little too early for pruning, 

and it does depend largely on 

the weather. In the meantime, 

apply a copper spray to prevent 

infection of fungal diseases in 

spring. Remove all dead leaves 

around the base of the rose 

bushes and apply compost as 

both a soil conditioner and 

mulch. 

•Lawns – Grass growth has 

now ceased due to the cooler 

weather. It is an excellent time 

to level lawns with a roller as the 

moist soil makes levelling quite 

easily. 

•Paths and walkways 

– Paths around the house and 

through the garden can become 

very slippery during the winter 

months; water blasting can 

quickly remedy this problem. In 

winter months, we mainly utilise 

paths especially when there are 

boggy parts in the garden or 

lawn. For this reason, you may 

wish to consider additional paths 

to provide easier access. 

•Container gardens – 

Brighten up decks and entrances 

with containers full of blooming 

winter annuals such as cinerarias, 

pansies, primulas, snapdragons 

and violas. 

Finally, check local garden 

centres for newly arrived winter 

stock of trees and shrubs as 

June is a very safe time for 

planting.

Friendships 

on hold 

in College 

Match 

• By Gordon Findlater 

FOR THE third year running, the annual ‘college 

match’ between Christ’s and Christchurch Boys’ High 

today doubles as a top-of-the-table clash in the UC 

Championship. 

The match at Christ’s home ground, Upper, has all the 

elements to make it a classic. The rivals are the two top 

scoring teams in the championship this season, with 478 

points scored between them. 

Friendships will also be put on hold. Christ’s captain 

Sam Darry (right) and CBHS captain Louie Chapman 

(left) have struck up a friendship after playing together 

in a number of representative teams over the years. 

However, it’s expected to be forgotten this afternoon. 

“We’ve got quite a good relationship so it’s all fun and 

games but as soon as you put the jersey on that all goes 

out the window,” said Darry. 

Last year’s encounter lived up to its billing with 

Christ’s fighting off late surges from CBHS to win 16-15 

and end a 16-year losing streak. 

“We’ve got the monkey off our back and now we know 

we can do it again,” said Darry. 

“It’s not something we want to feel again; that feeling 

last year at the end of the game,” said Chapman. 

Both teams have been perfect through the opening 

four rounds, recording four bonus point wins. However, 

this will be the biggest test yet for both sides and 

the thousands of supporters who make it one of the 

country’s best schoolboy rugby atmospheres. 

“You try and focus on the games coming up but you’ve 

always got that one marked in your calendar. All the 

supporters love it as well because they can get all their 

chants sorted and their milk bottles out and make all the 

ruckus they can,” said Darry. 

“It’s pretty hectic out there you can’t even hear yourself 

think. You’re trying to talk to the guy next to you but 

you’ve got both schools yelling at each other. It’s pretty 

crazy,” said Chapman. 

The first match between the two sides was in 1892, 

which Christ’s won 34-0. Since then the two schools 

have battled for bragging rights every 12 months. CBHS 

have won 84 times, compared to Christ’s 44. 

“You’ve got your mates at the other school and it’s 

something you really want to get over them. We’ll be 

putting our best foot forward to get those bragging 

rights,” said Chapman. 

“It’s an exciting thing to think about because there’s 

not many occasions that will be like this one that you’ll 

get to play in your life,” said Darry. 

The winner of today’s match will single themselves 

out as an early competition favourite. However, the UC 

Championship is once again proving that not many 

teams can be taken lightly. 

The unpredictability of this year’s championship 

continued at the weekend with Rangiora High School 

recording their first ever win over Nelson College since 

entering the competition in 2011. Meanwhile, St Thomas 

of Canterbury College scored a converted try on fulltime 

to record a 24-22 win over St Andrew’s College.

Home Super Rugby final could be an embarrassment 

THE CRUSADERS are just five 

wins away from what will be the 

most embarrassing Super Rugby 

final destination in the history of 

the competition. 

Last week’s win over the 

Hurricanes has now left the 

Crusaders chances of a home 

final in their own hands, 

something I’m sure SANZAR 

will be dreading. 

The competition, which would 

like to pride itself as being 

the biggest franchise rugby 

tournament in the world, now 

faces a good chance of its title 

match being hosted in a stadium 

designed to last until 2017. The 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

stadium also has no naming 

rights sponsor confirmed after 

this season as AMI ended its 

10-year relationship with the 

ground in March. 

Let’s get some context. 

The recent European Rugby 

Champions Cup final between 

Leinster and Racing 92 attracted 

a crowd of more than 52,000 to a 

neutral venue at the San Mamés 

Stadium in Bilbao, Spain. 

Last year’s Super Rugby final 

between the Lions and Crusaders 

attracted a record crowd of 

62,000 at Ellis Park. 

If the Crusaders put 

themselves in a position to host 

NOT WORTHY: The temporary stadium is not up to the 

standard required to host the Super Rugby final. 


the final on August 4, we will 

be left with the prospect of the 

Southern Hemisphere’s biggest 

competition trying to prove it 

has the rub on the Europe by 

hosting its premier event with 

22,500 freezing fans crammed 

into an oversized marque. 

There may be another answer, 

and a perfect chance for the 

Crusaders to give the decisionmakers 

on a new stadium a 

hurry up. 

In 2011, when the current 

temporary stadium was not 

around, the Crusaders played 

the Sharks at Twickenham in 

London and attracted a crowd of 

more than 35,000 fans. 

If we’re faced with an all- 

New Zealand final, how many 

fans could the Crusaders get 

into Eden Park? In terms of a 

business venture the capacity of 

50,000 makes sense and would 

give a massive **** you to the city 

council. Would they do it? Not 

likely, but I’d love things to play 

out to see me proven wrong.

Summerfield needs 

home rally victory 

Matt Summerfield comes into 

his home rally at Ashley Forest 

needing a win to boost his New 

Zealand Rally Championship 

hopes. Summerfield comes 

into Sunday’s Canterbury Rally 

sitting in third with 43 points 

on the championship table – 45 

behind leader Hayden Paddon 

and 27 behind second-placed 

Ben Hunt. With Paddon 

overseas this round and a 

potential 30 championship 

points up for grabs, the rally 

will play a big role in how the 

championship shapes. After 

having two rounds to adjust 

to his new Mitsubishi Mirage, 

Summerfield is seeking to 

find where the limits of the 

car can take him in. There is 

a 67-strong entry list for the 

rally, which begins with the 

first special stage at 8.35am. The 

rally consists of eight daylight 

stages and two night stages 

with the first car due at the 

ceremonial finish at Lonestar 

on Manchester St at 7pm. 

Canty teams head to 

volleyball champs 

Canterbury volleyball teams 

will head to Wellington over 

the long weekend to compete 

at the New Zealand provincial 

championships. Canterbury 

have teams entered in both 

the men’s and women’s 

competitions across the open, 

under-20 and under-17 grades. 

The open women’s team is 

boosted by a number of United 

States college players who have 

returned to Christchurch over 

the US summer.

Footballing brothers meet up in US 


TWO BROTHERS who started 

kicking a football around 

together at the local park from a 

young age are preparing to take 

control of the central midfield 

together in the United States. 

Chretien brothers Simon 

and Max have partnered each 

other in the centre of midfield 

at secondary school, club, and 

Canterbury age group level. 

Now the pair will take that 

partnership to the United States 

at Quincy University, Illinois. 

Simon left for Quincy last year 

and has already spent a season 

playing football for the division 

two college. 

“I’ve loved it – the whole 

culture of playing football and 

studying at the same time. You 

get to meet some really cool 

people as well, the first year I 

was rooming with an English 

guy on the team,” said Simon. 

“You’re training or playing

will be looking for plenty of 

success in the South Island 

Golden Gloves at the Cashmere 

Club on Saturday. 

The Halswell-based club has 

four boxers who trainer Steve 

Brown believes could win titles 

by the end of the mammoth day 

of boxing. 

Michael Maireroa will be 

looking to add a gold medal in 

the senior elite under-91kg class 

to the silver medal he won at the 

Australian Golden Gloves last 

every day. It’s pretty close 

to being treated like a top 

professional athlete.” 

He recently discovered his 

younger brother Max will be 

joining him in August, reuniting 

a partnership they’ve become 

familiar with since taking up the 

sport. “(Simon) knows me very 

well as a player, so whenever he 

gets the ball or I get 

the ball we look 

for each other,” 

said Max. 

“It was a bit 

strange 

not 

year. Jack Morgan is a 16-yearold 

who has switched his focus 

from rugby to boxing since starting 

at the club last October. The 

under-66kg youth has had three 

bouts and has already won the 

South Island and Canterbury. 

“Jack has a tremendous workethic,” 

Brown said. “He has a 

great attitude, catches multiple 

busses just to make it to training 

and he’s tenacious in the ring.” 

Marcus Tierney will be 

on debut in the cadet 

under-50kg section but the 

14-year-old is considered a genuine 

chance.

Simon. 

“To play with your brother 

in another country and in a 

different league is really cool. It 

should be a lot of fun.” 

Although the brothers both 

operate in the central midfield, 

their playing styles are 

completely different. Simon 

is a deeper lying midfielder 

who screens in 

front of the 

defensive line 

and looks to 

distribute the 

ball forward 

on attack. 

Coby Magon rounds out the 

quartet. The 10-year-old mini 

cadet has had three victorious 

fights over the past six weeks and 

plans on adding a South Island 

title on Saturday. 

There will be two sessions of 

action with the afternoon session 

starting at noon and the evening 

session starting at 6pm. 

Organiser Matt Neale says 

94 boxers are set to fight across 

multiple weight, age and experience 

divisions. It is a big year for 

boxing in Christchurch with the 

New Zealand Golden Gloves in 

Hornby on October 3.

Two matches standout in the

competition on Saturday. Competition 

leaders Lincoln University 

host third place Sydenham. 

Sydenham are coming off a good 

28-26 win over New Brighton, 

which propelled them into 

the top four, and if they could 

knock-off the undefeated frontrunners, 

they would cement 

their spot further. Although 

New Brighton have dropped out 

of the top four, they will look to 

bounce back against University, 

who are eager to improve on 

their sixth place. Other matches 

include High School Old Boys

A TRIO of Christchurch 

boardriders will hit the 

surf in California after 

being selected in the 

New Zealand team for 

the world junior surfing 

championships. 

Estella Hungerford, 

Myka Black and Conor 

McLennan are among 12 

young Kiwi surfers who 

will trade in the cooler 

waters for California’s 

Huntington Beach from 

October 27 to November 

4. 

McLennan, 17, is the 

eldest of the Christchurch 

contingent. He currently 

attends the Raglan Surf 

Academy after making 

the move north to 

continue his development 

as a surfer. The commitment 

appears to reaping 

rewards after he won the 

under-18 national title in 

Gisborne in January. 

“I was stoked when I 

found out I had made the 

team, it’s been a bit of a 

dream come true,” said 

McLennan. 

“Winning nationals at 

the start of the year was a 

massive boost for me and 

I’ve been able to keep up 

consistent results since 

then.” 

Although he has never 

surfed in California, he 

hopes the Huntington

Beach break will suit his 

style, known for dominant 

left-handers similar to 

what he surfs in Raglan. 

McLennan will represent 

New Zealand in the 

under-18 boys division. 

Black will compete in the 

under-16 boys division, 

and Hungerford in the 

under-16 girls division. 

In 2017, the New Zealand 

team placed 10th 

overall. The United States 

won the event. 

The championship is 

the largest junior surfing 

event in the world, playing 

host to more than 300 

surfers from 41 nations in 

2017 when the event was 

held in Japan.

THERE’S NO shortage of 

experience or leadership in 

the Coastal Spirit football 

team. 

Five of their players have 

amassed more than 600 

games combined for the 

team, which currently sits 

second on the Mainland 

Premier League ladder. 

Louie Bush, Ash Welbourn, 

Tristan Nicol, Connor 

Lidstone and Anthony 

Jones all said they’re good 

mates and that’s the secret 

to the success of the club. 

“The environment, 

the supporters and the 

guys behind the scenes 

have been very consistent 

throughout the 11 seasons 

of Coastal,” Nicol said. 

Lidstone was part of the 

club’s junior ranks and 

enjoyed the atmosphere 

and welcoming attitude. 

The senior players won 

back the Hurley Shield, the 

MPL equivalent of rugby’s 

Ranfurly Shield, from 

Ferrymead Bays in a 1-0 

victory this month. 

The aim now is to hold 

onto it for the remainder 

of the season. 

“There’s a lot of positivity 

in the club,” Jones 

said. “You go down to the 

juniors and there’s an optimism 

here,” Jones said. 

He said the reason all 

five get on so well is they

and Estella Hungerford have 

been selected in the New 

Zealand team for the world

Experience helps Coastal 

all play for the greater 

good of the club. 

“We are all friends and 

we enjoy playing with 

each other. Yes, we’ve all 

probably earned the right 

to have our say from time 

to time, but there’s no egos 

here.” 

Nicol said the success 

of the team was down 

to a mix between youth 

and experience and the 

stability of the coaching 

staff. 

“Now that we have 

qualified for the South 

Island tournament later in 

the season, I think we have 

a squad which is able to 

make a real impact in the 

debut year,” he said.

Warriors fans have reason to keep the faith 

• By Luke Kirkness 

TAKE A COUPLE of deep 

breaths and calm down 

long-suffering Warriors fans – 

the odds are good they’re still 

going to play finals football this 

season. 

While last weekend’s 10-30 loss 

at Mt Smart Stadium to South 

Sydney wasn’t ideal, the Warriors 

have their top eight foundations 

set. 

Twelve rounds into the season, 

they boast eight wins and four 

losses with a further 12 games 

remaining before the end of the 

regular season. This week they 

have a bye – and it couldn’t come 

at a better time having see-sawed 

with wins and losses since round 

six. 

From round 14, the Warriors 

will play five games at Mt Smart 

and seven away, playing six 

teams in the top eight and six 

currently out of finals contention. 

The Warriors will front up 

against the Sea Eagles, Cowboys, 

Sharks, Panthers, Broncos, 

Storm, Titans, Dragons, Knights, 

Bulldogs, Panthers again, and 

Raiders. 

The Warriors are fourth on 

the ladder with the Rabbitohs 

bouncing over them to third. 

They currently have 16 points 

overall from their eight wins and 

are guaranteed a further two 

points from this weekend’s bye. 

Given the 2017 benchmark 

being 30 points overall, the Warriors 

need to secure a further 12 

points, or six wins, following the 

automatic points of the bye. 

Theoretically, with the form 

all teams have shown in the first 

half of the season, the Warriors 

should win at least six games. 

The Sea Eagles, Cowboys, 

Titans, Knights, Bulldogs and 

Raiders all sit outside of the top 

eight and are games the Warriors 

would be favourites to win. 

These are the Warriors best 

opportunities to secure a finals 

spot. They play the Sharks, 

Broncos, Storm, Dragons, and 

Panthers twice as well, with these 

games looking less likely for the 

Warriors to win. Regardless, they 

have proven this season they 

are a different beast and should 

easily make the finals for the first 

time since 2011. – NZ Herald

A MORE familiar line-up will 

take the field for the Highlanders 

tomorrow night. 

Both Aaron and Ben Smith 

(left) return to the starting lineup, 

as does Luke Whitelock, for 

the match against the Hurricanes 

at Forsyth Barr Stadium. 

Meanwhile Liam Squire makes 

his first start in two months after 

making his return from injury 

off the bench last week. 

Kalolo Tuiloma gets his first 

start at tighthead prop, while 

Liam Coltman, Elliot Dixon, 

Richard Buckman and Shannon 

Frizell offer plenty of quality to 

bring off the bench. 

Assistant coach Mark 

Hammett said it was good to be 

back home after spending much 

of the past five weeks on the 

road. 

“We have had four of our last 

five weeks on the road so the 

guys are excited about playing at 

home,’’ he said. “We want to give 

a huge push towards making the 

play-offs this week before we hit 

the June break. The players are 

really looking forward to being 

back under the roof in front of a 

vocal home crowd.”

How to stay warm and dry 

Kiwi homes contain hidden health 

dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy 

homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can 

make a home more saleable as well as a 

healthier place to live. 

Many older homes are cold and damp 

and sometimes have other hazards such 

as lead-based paint and asbestos. 

There are a number of steps to take to 

make your home more healthy. 

They include behavioural change, 

the cheapest way to make your home 

healthier is to open windows to 

ventilate. 

If you’re out a lot, but want to increase 

natural ventilation buy some security 

window stays or locks that allow you 

to leave windows slightly open when 

you’re out. This can be a lot cheaper to 

buy and run than high-tech systems. 

If nothing else, insulate the ceiling 

and under the house. The Energy 

Efficiency and Conservation Authority 

(EECA) has information on its website 

about funding grants available through 

the Warm Up New Zealand campaign. 

NEW LISTINGS 

COMMERCIAL 

A heat pump will warm and ventilate 

rooms in the winter and cool them in 

the summer. 

EECA suggests a number of different 

options for secondary glazing, which 

is cheaper than retrofitting double 

glazing. 

Alternatives include DIY window 

insulation, aluminium framed 

secondary glazing on the inside of 

the existing glazing, or acrylic sheets 

attached internally. 

Healthy homes aren’t just about 

insulation and moisture removal. 

Using fewer toxic chemicals can make 

your home healthier to live in. Parents 

of young children sometimes worry 

about exposure to chemicals as do 

asthma sufferers. 

Dust mites can make a home 

unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on 

your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum 

more often and empty the bag between 

cleans. 

Decluttering as well reduces the 

places that dust can build up.

Plant & Food Research require volunteers for a 

clinical study looking at the effects of SunGold 

kiwifruit on inflammation and gut health. This is 

a 16 week study which involves eating GOLD 

kiwifruit along with your normal diet. 

We need volunteers that are either healthy or 

suffering from Irritable bowel syndrome which 

is associated with constipation. Aged 18 to 65 

years old. 

You will be required to visit 40 Stewart Street, 

Central Christchurch for periods of up to 45 

minutes on 7 occasions between 7.00am 

and 12.00pm. You will be reimbursed $320 in 

vouchers for your participation in this study. 

To find out more about the study contact: 

Sarah Eady on (03) 325 9671 or 027 476 6137

ALCOHOL LICENCE 

NOTIFICATION CHANGES 

We’re changing the way alcohol licence applications 

are publicly notified. 

Instead of advertising these in the public notice section 

of local newspapers, we will publish information on a 

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

The webpage will be live from 16 April 2018 for all 

alcohol licence public notices. Please note there will be 

a month’s transition period for public notices already 

arranged by applicants for newspaper publication. 

By advertising on the same webpage each time, 

people will know where to go to look for licence 

application notice and details about public objection 

timelines. Public notifications will still be for 15 

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

webpage recent notices beyond that time. 

This is consistent with the requirements of the Sale 

and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. 

You can still view application documents in person at 

Council offices. 

To find out more about how alcohol licence applications 

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

0800 800 169.
