MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel is
trying to woo The Terminator to
Christchurch.
Not to take out critics of
chlorination, or the town hall

awareness of the impact of
climate change.
“Climate change is not a
political issue, it’s a health
issue,” Arnold Schwarzenegger
said during the R20 Austrian

is easily defined. He secured a
world record 431 test wickets by
retirement, had been the lynchpin
in New Zealand’s golden era
of the 1980s and brandished a
knighthood in his final test.
Few players in the history of
the game have carried as much
responsibility within an international
team.
Hadlee’s 17-year test career
saw him become the world test
wicket record holder against
India at Bangalore in 1988.
He overtook Sir Ian Botham’s
373-wicket mark when Chris
Kuggeleijn caught India’s Arun
Lal in the slips.
Hadlee took a wicket with his
final ball in a test against England
at Edgbaston in 1990 where
he was listed on the scorecard as
‘Sir Richard.’
His bowling average of 22.29
from 86 tests is among the best
in the game. That statistic was
complemented by the all-rounder
tag, courtesy of 3124 test runs
and 27.16.
Hadlee dealt with life in the
limelight as much as any New
Zealand sportsperson ever has
during his playing career. He
received the supreme Halberg
award twice and was honoured
as the sportsperson of the 1980s.

Council may extend
living wage policy
The city council will discuss
extending its living wage
policy to all council-controlled
organisations and contractors
behind closed doors at its meeting
today. Last August, the city
council approved adopting a
minimum wage of $20.20 for all
staff, excluding Vbase employees,
which took effect in October.
The report on the possibility of
extending the living wage will be
released with approval from chief
executive Karleen Edwards.
NASA aircraft based in
city again
NASA’s largest flying
astronomical observatory has
returned to the city to continue
exploring the mysteries of outer
space. SOFIA, a modified Boeing
747SP that carries a 17,000kg,
2.5m diameter telescope,
navigates the night skies at around
1000km/h, capturing images of
planets, asteroids and space. The
city has become the temporary
home for 120 NASA staff who will
take part in 25 overnight flights
over seven weeks and inject more
than $5 million into the economy.
Researchers plan to chase down
the shadow cast by Saturn’s largest
moon Titan.
Lighting in council
offices goes LED
Thousands of lights at the city
council’s civic offices are being
switched over to LEDs, a move
that will save about $42,800 a year
and reduce its carbon footprint by
35 tonnes a year. Track lighting
in public spaces has already been
switched over. Over the next two
years all of the lighting in the rest
of the building, including 2693
lamps, will be changed to LED.
Cycle initiatives
award finalists
Biketober and the city council’s
major cycleway uni-cycle have
been named finalists in the New
Zealand Transport Agency and
Cycling Action Network Bike to
the Future Awards.
