Cops close in on con man
• By Bridget Rutherford
POLICE HAVE found two bank
account numbers in their hunt
for a con man who falsely said
gangs would hurt their families if
people didn’t pay up.
Senior Constable Wayne
Stapley said two of the victims
had been given two bank account
numbers to put money into.
Police had checked one, and
were awaiting details about the
other.
Senior Constable Stapley would
not comment on what the investigation
into the first account
number revealed.
He said two phone numbers,
connected to the same person,
led police to a suspect who had
been interviewed and denied any
involvement.
The Star understands a teenager
is the key suspect.
“He swears black and blue it
wasn’t him and he doesn’t have
the cell phone numbers anymore,”
he said.
“We have to find out where
these phones are and tie them up
with the bank accounts.”
Police have received 21 complaints
from Christchurch people
targeted by the sinister scam.
It involved phone calls and
texts to victims who are told the
caller is from the Mongrel Mob,
Highway 61 or Black Power.
One victim was told to pay
$1000 or Black Power would burn
his house down and harm his
family. The con man says they
are watching the victims’ families
and elderly parents.
Senior Constable Stapley
would not comment on whether
the perpetrator was actually
connected to the gangs.
Last month, Canterbury
University criminologist Greg
Newbold told The Star gangs
would be “filthy” if they were being
impersonated.
Senior Constable Stapley said
none of the people who had gone
to the police had paid over any
money.
There have been no further
reported cases.

THE STAR MEDIA Home &
Leisure Show promises to be the
best yet.
Celebrating its 20th year of
supporting local businesses,
the event has an extra special
flavour this time around with a
unique tasting corner.
Event manager Vanessa Fleming
is super-enthused about the
new addition, which reflects the
importance of leisure in people’s
lives these days.
“There will be a wide range
of food and drink products to
sample, which people can then
go home and recreate in their
own kitchens,” she says.
And with the latest in kitchen
innovations and products on
display, it’s a chance to get creative
in all aspects of life.
Said Star Media chief executive
Steve McCaughan: “I am
very excited about the new elements
we have introduced with
the addition of our free taste
section, new glossy Home and
Leisure magazine, plus fantastic
prizes to be won.”

in brief
Most dangerous
intersections upgrade
Safety improvements are on the
way for two of the city’s most
dangerous intersections. The city
council’s Long Term Plan earmarked
$1.2 million to upgrade the
Clarence St and Blenheim Rd intersection
between 2021 and 2023. It
also allocated $356,000 to upgrade
the Clarence St and Riccarton Rd
intersection between 2020 and
2022. The city council and New
Zealand Transport Agency ranked
the Clarence St and Riccarton
Rd intersection the sixth most dangerous
in the city last year, while
Clarence St and Blenheim Rd was
ranked 10th. Safety improvements
have also been confirmed for the
Ilam, Middleton and Riccarton
Rds intersection – the fourth most
dangerous – in the upcoming
financial year.
St Albans Park work
delayed, over budget
Upgrades to St Albans Park may
not be complete until early next
year and will cost $160,000 more
than expected. The cost of the project
has increased to $2.1 million.
Wet weather has pushed the completion
date out to late December
or early January.
Timeball set to drop
again today
The Lyttelton Timeball will drop
once again when the mast is
installed at 10am today. Heritage
NZ has been overseeing the $3
million restoration, which started
in July last year. The structure will
be officially opened to the public in
spring.
Black Cat to remove
wharf structures
Black Cat Cruises will be instructed
to remove all non-authorised
structures from outside its premises
on Akaroa wharf. On Monday
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board voted to for all non-consented
structures to be removed within

talks to Jordan Luck
about his battle with
the booze
Jordan Luck wonders if he
would have lived to see 60 if he
hadn’t given up the booze.
“I’d be drinking from the
moment I got up basically to
when I’d fall asleep, so, beer – I’d
get through two to three dozen
a day.
“I’d take periods off, a couple
of days here, a couple of days

The former Exponents singer’s
battle with alcohol was so bad
that when he did stop for a time,
he’d suffer petit mal seizures - a
brief loss of consciousness.
“All of a sudden these red
diamonds would come across my
eyes. I’d black out.
“It was just a shock to my system
when I didn’t drink.”
Luck, now 56, who lives
in Little River, spent his 40s

“A whole heap of people came

is what I need”. But “about 10
seconds later” he started to say
he had projects on.
“They said, ‘No – you’re going.”
He acquiesced.

Instead of beer, Luck now
drinks sparkling water with
lime. If he’s singing at a show, he

In the middle of a national tour

He says his health has improved.

To others for whom alcohol

“If it’s problematic, ease back. If

Alcohol is a “psychoactive

“The impact of this marketing
is combined with alcohol’s relatively

NEW LOOK: An artist’s impression of the Town Hall with
the new addition for the orchestra.
Town Hall progress
THE UNDER construction
Town Hall has had a new
building added, which will
provide a home for the
Christchurch Symphony
Orchestra and Vbase.
The new Warren and
Mahoney designed addition
replaces the Cambridge Room,
which was demolished as part
of the repair and strengthening
of the Town Hall. The CSO
building is part of the reason
why there has been a budget
blowout. The initial budget for
the project was $127.5 million
but this was revised to $152.2
million. The city council said
the budget blowout was also
due to “inflationary costs” and
the additional expenses associated
with bringing the building
up to a modern standard,
alongside the new CSO facility,
which is a “significant change
in scope”.
There is also a “significant
contingency”, which the city
council said it will not release
for “commercial reasons.”
City council general manager
citizens and community
Mary Richardson said the
cost of repairing and restoring
the Town Hall was about $40
million less than building a
new hall. A reopening event is
planned for March.

What ratepayers fork out for
Christchurch has
become one of the
street art capitals
of the world and
ratepayers are helping
to pay for it. Bridget
Rutherford reports
MORE THAN $100,000 of
ratepayer money has been spent
commissioning street art to
brighten up the city, deter graffiti
and raise the city’s profile in the
past seven years.
City council figures released
to The Star show it has commissioned
seven pieces since the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
when the city experienced an
explosion in street art.
In total, they cost $104,908.
The most expensive work was
a trio of murals in Oxford St Reserve,
Lyttelton, which was done
earlier this year, costing $45,000.
Los Angeles-based street artist
Dcypher, aka Guy Ellis, did the
large mural, which depicts the
history and community spirit
of Lyttelton. He had help from
fellow street artists Wongi, Yikes
and Ikarus.
The work was done as part
of an overall $375,000 upgrade
to the reserve, including a new
skate park, playground landscaping
and repairs to the park’s
earthquake-damaged walls.
Dcypher also did the Kiwianathemed
mural on the side of the
Wharenui Recreation Centre in
Matipo St. The city council-commissioned
it in 2016 for $15,000.
It coincided with the reopening
of the centre after earthquake
repairs.
Three artworks were commissioned
last year to activate the
central city.
No Place Like Home was created
by Flox in Plymouth Lane.
Inspired by the Wizard of Oz,
it represents the journey people
have gone on since the quakes.
It is 75m long and took four

Warrell’s mural was created on the side of the Ibis Hotel

city council funded organisation
ChristchurchNZ spent $10,000
commissioning the mural of former
Kiwis coach David Kidwell
before the team’s dismal Rugby
League World Cup campaign.
A city council spokeswoman
said street art enhanced
streetscapes and buildings,
adding colour and interest, particularly
next to cleared sites or
damaged buildings.
“Experience tells us that, in
general at least, a well-executed
mural will deter tagging vandalism
for a good period of time,
though not indefinitely.”
She said street art, often requested
by community boards,
also engaged local artists,
developed connections in the
community and raised the profile
of street art in Christchurch.
Last month, Hostel World
ranked Christchurch as one of
the 13 best cities in the world

to the demolition of old
ones, such as the implosion of
the Christchurch Central Police
Station. Although, he said he
would have been better with a
video camera for that one.
“I only had a little camera and
all I got was a pile of rubble.”
He also photographed Twinkle
Toes, the large excavator
used to demolish tall buildings
after the earthquakes.
Mr Hibberd said he was onto
his second camera, a Canon,
because his first one broke about
six years ago.
“I was photographing the
earthquake-damaged buildings
on the corner of
Cashel and High
Sts and there
was a piece of
iron sticking
out of the

said he then wrote a
letter to the city council.
“I’m fairly well known
around the council, I told
them I’d lost 30 photos that
day and I was doing it for
heritage and
I told them it
was a $120

Then a

Although Mr Hibberd is
retired, he still volunteers on the
Canterbury Workers Educational
Association council, helping to
organise the courses.
Last week he received a
volunteer recognition award from
Volunteering Canterbury for his
contribution to the association
since 1984.
He has also been heavily
involved in the Belfast
community, helping to set up the
Belfast co-ordinating committee.
In September, Mr Hibberd is
set to also receive an award
for his 60-year involvement
with the Vintage Car Club of
New Zealand Canterbury
branch.
Mr Hibberd said he was
interested in the city’s heritage.
He knows what building
work was happening around
Christchurch and has been into
most completed buildings.
When asked how he managed
that Mr Hibberd said: “Cheek.”
“I walk in backwards so they
think I’m leaving.”

Crushing
plant noise
prompts
investigation
• By Bridget Rutherford
CITY COUNCIL staff are
investigating whether changes
can be made to the District Plan
to increase a noise buffer between
residents and industrial activities.
The Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
requested staff look into it after
concerns about a scrap metal
company operating from the
former Skellerup site in Woolston.
National Steel has occupied
part of the site since January
and began crushing vehicles in
late February. Between then and
March 22 the city council received
eight complaints about the noise.
An investigation found most
noise levels complied with the
District Plan. But city councillor
Yani Johanson said the District
Plan was too “submissive” and
meant the community had no say.
“I think personally there’s a real
need for an industrial buffer.”
The city council is unable to
change the District Plan until the
Government revokes the Canterbury
Earthquakes Order 2014,
which dictated what was in it.

$2.5 million boost
for quake advisory
A SERVICE that provides
independent advice and
support to earthquake
claimants has received
a $2.5 million funding
boost.
Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister
Megan Woods said as part
of its promise to resolve
outstanding insurance
matters for Christchurch
people, the Government
will extend the Residential
Advisory Service for at
least another year.
“I’m really thrilled to
announce this valuable
service will continue. Over
the last few years the RAS
has helped resolve nearly
5000 EQC and insurance
claims.
“The Government
acknowledges there is a
lot of work to be done to

“This is about recognising

Black box theatre plan
AN OPTION for a proposed
black box theatre in the
Performing Arts Precinct is
being explored by the trustees
of The Piano.
They are investigating the
idea of a $10 million ‘black
box theatre’ that would seat
between 250-300 people.
The Piano opened in the
precinct nearly two years
ago and the trustees believe
their black box theatre idea
would make economic sense.
It would complement both
The Piano and the new Court
Theatre.
The Piano director Bronwyn
Bijl said the black box theatre
would share resources with
The Piano, making it affordable
to run and ensuring that
it did not compete with other
facilities in the precinct.
“We want to see a collaborative
approach to the venues
so that they complement one
another,” she said.
“The Piano is an excellent
resource for music in
Christchurch and we would
like to develop an equivalent
space for theatre. We are
committed to providing first
rate facilities, tailored to meet
community needs.”
Ms Bijl said the ‘black box’
ENTERTAINMENT: An artist’s impression of the black box theatre proposed for the
Performing Arts Precinct.
would be a world-class facility,
purpose-built for acoustics,
that would cater for community
and touring professional
theatre groups.
It would also be suitable
for fringe and dinner theatre,
cabaret, open mic, play readings,
workshops, festivals,
comedy, as a pop-up space or
a film studio, and be available
for dance, buskers and Kidsfest
events.
“The design embraces the
black box concept of providing
an innovative space that is able
to be adapted and arranged to
suit any style of production or
event.”
The theatre space itself includes
tiered, retractable seating
for an audience of between
250 and 300 people, with a
flat floor option to extend the
range of uses. Ancillary spaces
required to support theatre
and performance uses are
included in the design, along
with an office and administration
hub for local theatre
groups.
City councillors are set to
consider options for the $30
million performing arts precinct
project today.
The Piano opened to the
public in September 2016
and has had 125,000 people
through in its first full
calendar year and hosted
more than 400 events last year,
including concerts, festivals,
competitions, masterclasses,
recordings and educational
events.

Library prepares for big move
• By Bridget Rutherford
MORE THAN a million books,
magazines, CDs, DVDs, archives
and other resources will be
transferred to the new $92
million central library for its
opening later this year.
It will be one of the largest
moving projects the city council
has ever done.
City council head of libraries
and information Carolyn Robertson
said about 61,000 library
resources would be transferred
to Tūranga from Central Peterborough
Library. Another 37,000
would go there from Central
Manchester, she said.
“In addition, collections currently
in storage, including the
archives collection, will also
move to Tūranga,” she said.
“This will be one of the biggest
moves undertaken by the council,
on a larger scale than most
moves the council has overseen
to date.”
Tūranga, which is being built
on the corner of Gloucester and
Colombo Sts, will open in the
third quarter of this year.
Ms Robertson said the logistics
around the move had been
planned, with a moving company
engaged.
MOVING DAY: More than a million books, magazines, CDs,
DVDs will be moved to Turanga before it opens.
“The relocation work includes
moving collections and retained
assets from four locations and
staff from Peterborough and
Manchester Street Libraries and
the timeframe is currently being
scoped.”
Ms Robertson said Tūranga’s
IT and audio-visual fit out was
projected to cost $4.17 million.
It will have technologies such
as 3D printers, a laser cutter,
sewing machines, audio and
video recording facilities, and
virtual reality devices. That cost
did not include installing a 7m
interactive touch wall, which
would be the largest in the
country.
Last month the city council
got a slap on the wrist from the
Ombudsman for not releasing
the touch wall’s cost to the Taxpayers’
Union. The Taxpayers’
Union complained to the Ombudsman,
which then requested
it be released.
The city council is deciding
whether to do so in consultation
with the Ombudsman and the
provider, Gibson Group, which
wanted the information to remain
confidential.
New library stock, which
is shared around all the city’s
libraries, currently being sent to
Central Manchester and Central
Peterborough would be diverted
to Tūranga once it opens.
Ms Robertson said that would
equate to about nine per cent
of all new stock added to the
network, which annually, costs
about $400,000.
Both Peterborough and
Manchester Libraries are currently
leased by the city council,
which would not be renewed
when Tūranga opened. All the
resources and staff from both
will also be transferred.
The five-storey Tūranga would
have a hands-on technology and
innovation zone, a cafeteria,
200-seat community arena,
activity rooms, an exhibition
space, meeting rooms, two outdoor
terraces and a playground.
Work starts
at Redcliffs
School sites
DEMOLITION WORK will
start next month at Redcliffs
Park and Redcliffs School in
preparation for the creation of a
new school site.
The relocation of Redcliffs
School has been fast-tracked
through special changes to the
Christchurch District Plan following
a site decision by Greater
Christchurch
Regeneration
Minister Megan
Woods in May.
The existing
school site will
be turned into a
public park.
Clearance work
is due to start on
the new school
site in Redcliffs Park.
Chris
Doudney
It comes as Friends of Redcliffs
Park is circulating a petition that
will go to Parliament to stop
the move. They are about 150
signatures.
The group’s spokesman Chris
Doudney is also calling on Acting
Prime Minister Winston
Peters to rescind what he says is
a broken New Zealand First election
pledge over the park.

Thank you for
helping your
Fall Zones
community
To all of you who have had your
trees trimmed before they became
a problem, thank you for keeping all
the families in your community warm,
happy, healthy and connected.
You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your
neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge
their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what
you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here
at Orion, we just want to say thank you.
Notice and Growth limit zones

A
Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone
66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m
33,000 volts 2.5m 3.5m
11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m
400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m
We’re not exaggerating.
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.
How close is too close?
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and
preferably the notice zone.
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to
disease or adverse weather events.
Where do I start?
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every
day or part day during which the offence continues.
More info can be found on our website and if
you have any questions or notice any trees
touching power lines in your area, please call
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

Seats to remember Zed boys Delays
• By Sarla Donovan
A SCULPTURE in memory
of well known Sumner father
and son Paul and Sam Zarifeh
who died within three weeks of
each other will be unveiled on
Sunday.
Sam, 27, died tragically in
December after falling from a
raft on the Landsborough River,
inland from Haast – three weeks
after his father Paul, 60, was
claimed by pancreatic cancer.
Paul co-founded the
Canterbury Wetsuit Company
in 1987, which later became
Seventhwave Wetsuits.
Sam was a teacher and
boarding master at Christchurch
Boys’ High School.
On Sunday, a sculpture will
be unveiled on the Esplanade in
Sumner.
It was designed and
constructed by Sumner
stonemason Mark Robberds
after Paul Zarifeh’s widow Julie
approached him about the idea.
“It is hard to believe seven
months has passed by since the
losses of our beloved Zarifeh
menfolk, Paul and Sam,” Mrs
Zarifeh said.
“As a family we continue
to be immensely grateful for
the outpouring of community
support and kindness, and are
thrilled to now be able to share
this memorial as a focal point of
remembrance.”
The stone sculpture will be
a place to sit and reflect “and
maybe also check the surf,” Mr
Robberds said.
“The stones themselves
are significant as they were
foundation stones from a
Christchurch building.
“In many ways Paul Zarifeh
provided a foundation for many
surfers in Christchurch through
his business and through his

WORK ON a mega centre in
Hornby may not now start for at
least another two years.
The city council revealed on
Friday more consultation may
be needed for the $35.7 million
facility after a hearings panel
recommended Denton Park not

given the nod, work was likely to
have started this year.

chairman Marc Duff
said he was “surprised” that the
decision was made prior to the
official Denton Park decision
during a meeting set for July 6.
City councillor Vicki Buck
said consultation was needed to
avoid a judicial review, which
could slow down the process by
another two to three years.
An additional $450,000 was
budgeted for the two years work.
If a new location is chosen
within the next financial year,
the funding could be brought
forward by a year, Cr Buck said.
Twice a year we clear the Community Fund collection boxes at

Deborah Thomson -
As someone who lives on
the edge of the red zone,
I certainly don’t want an
East Lake, I have a number
or concerns:
The prevailing wind
makes it a poor international
course; the increase
of bird life on the lake, and
added E-coli would make it
unswimmable; there is an
increased risk of toxic algae
bloom; car parks could
isolate Dallington from
its neighbouring suburbs;
parking in surrounding areas
would be an issue; large
empty carparks would attract
undesirables at night;
the lake would cut New
Brighton Rd in two forcing
traffic through quiet
residential areas; increase
traffic flows on the lower
end of Kerrs Rd (currently
about 30 children live in
that area) bringing parking
and security risks to the
residents; increased traffic
CUT: Dropping the East Lake plan has sparked
widespread debate. ​
over the Gayhurst Bridge,
which traffic engineers
have already confirmed
is poorly designed with
limited sight lines and
narrow turning room; the
amount of water needed
to maintain the lake; the
amount of water pumped
out of the lake; we already
have two international
courses in New Zealand
and since 1950 have held
less than five international
events, how will this lake
change this?
I have watched with interest
the comments on the
East Lake Trust Facebook
page. The majority of the
commentators seem to
come from the older leafy
suburbs.
These are the same
people that lock the doors
of their Audis, Lexuses,
Range Rovers and drive
at high speed through the
gritty east when picking
up their polished children
from Kerrs Reach.
They have no regard for
those of us who live here
and seem to think that
their “want” for a lake
takes precedent of those
who live in the area,
though to them we are just
a bunch of uneducated,
unwashed, criminal oik’s.
I also have to wonder at the
old boys’ network hard at
work behind the scenes,
pulling in favours all
over the place. They even
managed to get very large
posters up in Pak’n’Save
Wainoni.
I’ve never seen them allow
any other lobby group
to put anything up.

Hillmorton High School
Teachers
crucial to
students’
‘learning
by doing’
Kia ora koutou, talofa lava,
warm greetings to you all.
One of our former students, James Adams, gave a
passionate speech at Open Night a few years ago.
James, a very able academic student, chose Hillmorton
High School, in part, because of the diverse nature
of our students. Our students come from a range of
socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds and bring
a wide range of prior learning to the school. By his
fifth year at the school,
James had developed into
a strong critical thinker and
he credited his own success
and that of his peers to
the excellent quality of our
teachers.
Our teachers are outstanding.
They have high expectations
of themselves and each
student.
They are willing to research
Ann
Brokenshire
and try new things in a “safe
to fail environment”. In this
way, as life-long learners, our
staff are excellent role models
for our students.
James spoke about our teachers not just telling the
students what to do but showing them and allowing
them to “learn by doing”.
Learning by doing in real-life contexts is a key to high
engagement and I see this at Hillmorton a lot. Two
examples:
Recently, a Year 12 Business class showed me their
“enterprise” products – they have created a legacy –
using an online shop set up within our website, and a
new laser cutter in our Technology Department. They
are designing and making products to sell which will
create a good profit for our groups fundraising for
varying activities.
New products can be designed, made and sold for
different fundraising groups into the future.
A group of ten Year 7 & 8 students were asked to give
feedback on a logo for a new $28 million initiative from
the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education to
support well-being for Years 1-8 students across our
city. As a result of their feedback and suggestions,
the proposed logos were thrown out and sent back to
the design team. The final logo for the initiative called
“Mana Ake – stronger for tomorrow”, won our students’
approval – a demonstration of authentic learning in a
real situation.
Across our curriculum from Year 7 through to Year
13 our students are thriving within authentic learning
contexts where our teachers have high expectations,
passion for education and a real heart for students as
they traverse the pre-teen and teenage years.
The students and I thank all our wonderful staff here at
Hillmorton.

A former student of Hillmorton, John decided he
wanted to give back to his alma mater.
He has done so by awarding a flying scholarship
which will allow one young person each year to fulfill a
dream — that of learning to fly.
At a recent celebration assembly, John presented the
inaugural scholarship to Year 11 student, Wen Seng
Chen.
We congratulate Wen Seng and look forward with
interest as to where this will lead in the future!
Inspiring academic
excellence, leadership,
and a love of learning
Following on from our Open Night, we are
holding “Experience Hillmorton” mornings
for Year 6 students at our contributing
schools. This is an opportunity for these
students to have a little taste of some of
the teaching and learning that is occuring.
Making pizza in Food Tech, ice cream in
Science, and funky spinning tops were
just some of the activities enjoyed by our
visitors.
Students also enjoyed student-written
drama presentations where the key
message was “teamwork is where it is at!”
We look forward to seeing most of these
students choose Hillmorton as their school
of choice in 2019!
Enrolment dates for 2019
While many choose to come to Hillmorton
in Year 6, we also have significant
numbers joining us in Year 9 and we
remind students and their families that
the following are the enrolment dates for
the Year 9, 2019 Intake across schools in
Christchurch.

Enrolment applications close .................July 27.

We urge parents and caregivers at Year 7

this assists us with our forward planning.

Opinion
Tanya Didham - I feel like I
have been sharing my views quite
a lot, both on my own behalf,
and as co-chair of Greening
the Red Zone. However, this is
from me, personally. Suffice to
say, there are very good reasons
why Regenerate Christchurch
took the out-of-river lake off
the table. All those reasons (and
all their technical reports and
indicative business studies) have
been laid out on their website
since around July last year, (to
inform the previous
consultation.)
The briefest glance
at its findings show
the out-of-river options
to be: - Chiefly,
ecologically damaging,
and mainly
because of impaired
use of Horseshoe
Lake as a key drainage area for
the Cranford flood basin.
- Disruptive to locals and infrastructure
( more than 400,000
truck movements) hugely
expensive, both to make and to
maintain.
- Unlikely to draw big competitions
away from their current
venues of Lakes Ruataniwha
and Karapiro and there is no economic
benefit to New Zealand.
From my perspective as a 20 year
local and someone who has been
talking a lot with people who
love the river and the area - they
want a beautiful green space with
the river as the centrepiece and
clean waterways, which tallies
with the responses RC got in its
previous consultation.
The lake will cut the flow of
the city to sea park in half and
remove New Brighton Rd, it will
treat our river like a drain, and
will be at constant risk of contamination
from groundwater (it
will be partly fed from surficial
aquifers and needs to use the
deep aquifers to constantly flush
it clean, 24/7). It will
introduce an enormous
body of water -
around one and half
million cubic metres
- into the floodplain
of a polluted urban
river, in a high risk
flood zone. In a high
risk quake zone. I do
not believe the East
Lake Trust’s complaint against
RC has any merit. To my knowledge
RC been never been disingenuous,
or less than rigorous in
their research and consideration
of ideas and none was more
considered. My understanding
is the lake advocates may take
legal action potentially holding
up decision-making on the red
zone for years. This would be extremely
disappointing. Their actions
seem to be designed to get
their way, rather than contribute
to finding the best solution.
Learning quake lessons
WHEN WE experience disaster,
we can always learn lessons –
what did we do well and what
didn’t we do so well?
It’s vital that we do this, and as
a council, we are always putting
the spotlight on what happened
after every such experience. If
we don’t look at what actually
happened, then we could keep
making the same mistakes over
and over again.
There have been many
reports done on aspects of what
happened before, during and
after the earthquakes. But they
haven’t been brought together.
The previous Government was
all set to go on a symposium, but
like the earthquakes themselves,
it was to occur in an election
year. There was a genuine
concern that it could be written
off as a Government-sponsored,
election year, whitewash if it only
looked at the things that went
well.
The reality is that we often
learn more from mistakes; the
things that we wouldn’t want to
be repeated. And that’s why it’s
vital that we look back, not to
blame, but to understand, and
we need to be prepared to say
what went wrong.
This Government has agreed

Symposium and the workshops
that will lead up to it, which
means we will be sharing the
costs.
A lot of the city council’s share
will be ‘in kind’ support, and
the full amount will be disclosed
when known.
If we don’t do this well,
then there is a risk that future
governments will make the same
mistakes, which would mean the
costs could be much greater, and
I’m sure no-one would want that
to be our legacy.

Tech is New Zealand’s third-largest export sector and is growing fast, with over
9000 new jobs expected to be created over the next two years*. To fuel this growth,
NZ needs more people with a grounding in tech to meet the rapid expansion within
this exciting and varied area, which crosses into many industries.
SIGNAL ICT Grad School develops tech professionals to meet that growth via
SHIFT, enabling more people to enter this dynamic and diverse sector.
*NZ Tech Digital Skills Survey 2017
The SHIFT Programme
SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for those who are seeking a new career path who may not have a
tech background. Open to degree holders in any discipline, SHIFT learners have come from diverse backgrounds such
as medicine, philosophy, sociology, commerce, geography, marketing, engineering and humanities. Available in both
Christchurch and Dunedin, this one year programme offers relevant and current content skills to ensure you are well
equipped to work within the tech area, where the skills you have learnt in previous work and study are highly valued.
Partnering With Industry
SHIFT uses immersive studio-based learning and real-world industry experience to produce graduates with a solid
base of core computing skills, as well as communication and employability skills required in today’s collaborative
workplaces. SHIFT includes several opportunities to meet and work with local tech industry employers, and includes
industry visits, group projects designed and
mentored by industry, and a 200 hour industry
placement, where you work within the organisation
on a curated project to add value to your host, and to
showcase your capabilities.
Opportunities
With tech roles existing in nearly every area from
aviation to zoology, career possibilities are extensive.
Through the SHIFT programme, learners can focus
on software design and development, or allied roles,
such as business analyst, web designer, project
manager, user experience designer, technical writer,
sales and client support . . . and the list goes on.
SIGNAL’s SHIFT Programme transitions graduates from any
discipline into tech. Many new and mature graduates are
considering tech as a viable and lucrative career option and
this is increasing as the range of roles within tech becomes
more widely known.
Diversity of background and experiences is
welcomed in the tech sector, where it is strongly
recognised that it takes many viewpoints to best
design products that meet customer requirements, and firms are actively recruiting to address gender and ethnic
imbalances across their employees.

experience working in the mining industry,
Isaac re-assessed his career goals, wanting a
career that was more flexible and portable.
‘I saw the SHIFT programme as an exciting
opportunity to add specific tech skills to my
knowledge base, so I can translate those skills
into a new career.’ For his industry project, Isaac
worked with Stantec NZ to represent aerial
drone footage.
‘The school-friendly course hours have allowed
me to carry on with my before and after school
duties, and this has really helped my family and
my career training.’
Isaac has just landed a role with Seequent,
a global leader in the development of data
visualisation software and collaborative
technologies.
FELICIA’S STORY:
Felicia has a computer engineering degree
from the Philippines where she worked as an
Air Traffic Controller for 12 years before coming
to New Zealand.
‘SHIFT will enable and empower me to reignite
my programming skills to eventually help me
become work-ready. I am invested to take as
much knowledge and practical skills from this
course and apply them in more meaningful
ways.’Felicia has really enjoyed her internship
with Airways NZ, where she has been utilising
her previous skills, and also her new tech skils
from SHIFT.

If the answer
is yes,
fabulous. But
if you’re feeling
unfulfilled,
connect with
yourself. Befriend
yourself and listen from
within as to what you want. There are
no time limits in making a choice or

connect with the real us. To achieve a
silent goal or dreamed about adventure
or activity. Today, be kind to yourself
and become your best friend. Let
the authentic you and your personal
power shine.
As Deepak Chopra said, “Intention is a
directed impulse of consciousness that
contains the seed form of that which
you aim to create. Like real seeds,
intentions can’t grow if you hold onto
them. Only when you release your
intentions into the fertile depths of
your consciousness can they grow and
flourish”.

link between viruses
and breast cancer
The University of Canterbury’s Chair
of Cancer Epidemiology, Professor Ann
Richardson, is on a mission to discover if
there is a link between common viruses
and breast cancer.
Her research team, the Wayne
Francis Cancer Epidemiology Research
Group, together with colleagues at the
University of Otago (Christchurch)
and internationally, has been working
on a number of breast cancer research
projects, including one which is testing
the hypothesis that late exposure – in
adulthood, rather than childhood – to
common viruses such as cytomegalovirus
or Epstein-Barr virus, increases the risk of
breast cancer.
“This has been an enduring interest of
mine, looking at whether it’s possible that
exposure to certain viruses might increase
the risk of breast cancer, and so that’s been
a focus of research,” Professor Richardson
says.
Where it all started
Professor Richardson’s research interest
in viruses and breast cancer began
when she compared countries in terms
of when women are exposed to a virus
or seroconvert – which means they’re
exposed to the virus and they develop
antibodies.
“I found that countries where most of
the population had been exposed to the
viruses at a young age had the lower risk
of breast cancer,” Professor Richardson
says.
“Whereas in countries like New Zealand
where a proportion of the population
might not be exposed to viruses such as
cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus
– the sort of viruses that cause glandular
fever – until they’re adults or young adults,
these countries had the highest breast
cancer incidence.”
Professor Richardson carried out a study
in partnership with Australian colleagues
to compare antibody levels for these
viruses in women with breast cancer and
women without. They found that women
with breast cancer had higher antibody
levels than those without.
From New Zealand to
Norway
A second study using Norwegian blood
samples also found that women with
breast cancer were likely to have higher
antibody levels for cytomegalovirus than
women without breast cancer.
“And the interesting thing about both
the Australian and the Norwegian study
was that there seemed to be an association
for one virus, cytomegalovirus, but not the
other.”
The research group has also recently
carried out a Finnish breast cancer casecontrol
study. Professor Richardson says
the findings will be included in a review
article on cytomegalovirus and breast
cancer.
“This research builds on the earlier
study carried out in Norway. The study
compared cytomegalovirus and Epstein-
Barr virus antibody levels in stored blood
samples from 800 women with breast
cancer and 800 women without breast
cancer in a Finnish serum bank.”
Professor Richardson says it is
possible that there is no link between
cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus and
breast cancer.
“We hope that if we do find a link, it
might lead to a preventive strategy –
through immunisation for instance. It may
be that isn’t what we find, but the research
we’re doing helps us to get a step further
and is advancing knowledge.”
Lifestyle changes
reduce cancer risk
Another recent project the research
group has undertaken involved identifying
lifestyle factors that could be modified
to reduce the risk of developing breast
cancer and bowel cancer in Aotearoa New
Zealand.
“For breast cancer it was reducing
HRT [hormone replacement therapy]
use, reducing obesity, increasing regular
physical activity and avoiding high alcohol
intake. For bowel cancer it was reducing
obesity and alcohol consumption again,
reducing smoking, reducing consumption
of red and processed meats, and increasing
regular physical activity,” Professor
Richardson says.
“You have to be careful when you
do work like this because there’s only
a certain proportion of cancer you can
prevent through lifestyle change,” she says.
“We hope this sort of information
helps people to understand the risks, but
also [helps] agencies like the Ministry of
Health and the Cancer Society.”
As a result of her involvement in these
research projects, Professor Richardson
was invited to join the Cancer Society of
New Zealand National Health Promotion
Advisory Committee in 2017.
About the research
group
The Wayne Francis Cancer
Epidemiology Research Group was
established in 2011 as a partnership
between University of Canterbury
School of Health Sciences, in the College
of Education, Health and Human
Development, and the Wayne Francis
Charitable Trust to support and encourage
research into the distribution and
determinants of cancer, and efforts to
reduce the impact of cancer.
In addition to supporting research
projects undertaken by the Wayne Francis
Cancer Epidemiology Research Group,
the Wayne Francis Charitable Trust also
funds the Graeme Davey PhD Scholarship
and partly funds Professor Richardson’s
position at UC.

As you age, your muscles naturally lose
strength and size and can become less
supple and stiffer. This can affect the range
of movement around your joints, which
may lead to stiffness in the muscles and
joints. It is this loss of tissue elasticity that
can cause muscles and joints to tighten up.
One of the key reasons that muscles lose
their natural suppleness and flexibility
and can become prone to tears, aches, and
pains is being inactive. If the situation is
not remedied in time, loss of flexibility
could lead to permanent changes in
posture and normal muscle function. It is
therefore imperative to maintain muscle
flexibility as an important component of
overall fitness.
So, what exactly is
flexibility?
Flexibility can be termed as the ability of
your joints and body parts to execute their
full range of motion. Flexibility is required
in all your day-to-day activities such
as bending, walking, lifting, etc. Being
flexible allows your muscles to remain
mobile. But, like most things, flexibility
decreases with age and it is very important
to include flexibility exercises in your daily
workout regimen.
The Benefits of
Flexibility
There are a number of ways to test your
flexibility. One of the most common ways,
according to fitness experts, is to check if
you can touch your toes while standing up
with both legs straight. (You could check
out various fitness sites available online for
a more exact test.) If you find that you feel
stiff, lacking in flexibility, suffering from
bad posture or would like to
increase your flexibility to
improve your normal
exercise routine,
flexibility training
is a must. Aerobic
exercises and
weight training
include rapid
and jerky
movements,
which can lead
to joint and
muscle fatigue.
On the other
hand, stretching
exercises, yoga, and
Pilates consist of gradual
movements that can help to
achieve greater flexibility.
Other Benefits
Being flexible helps to reduce soreness
of muscles and improve posture.
Stretching for slow gradual movements
and holding each position for up to 30
seconds (without pain) helps reduce
muscle soreness after exercise. Stretching
also improves muscular balance and
posture by realigning tissue and thereby
reducing the effort it takes to maintain
good posture throughout the day.
This helps decrease the risk of injury
and improve physical performance.
Flexible joints require less energy to
move through a greater range of motion.
This decreases your overall risk of injury
and increases physical performance
as well. Stretching works towards
decreasing resistance in muscle tissue
during any activity which helps increase
blood and nutrients to your tissues. By

stretching, you increase the temperature
of your tissues and this increases the
transportation of nutrients and your
overall circulation. which in turn increases
your range of motion and reduces
degeneration of your joints.
Stretching helps relax muscles. The more
flexible your pelvic muscles, hamstrings,
hip flexors, and quadriceps are, the less
stress to your lower back. In addition to
decreasing soreness and fatigue of your
muscles, stretching also helps relax both
the mind and body during any activity or
exercise.
Ways to Improve Your
Flexibility
So, what are some different ways to
stay flexible? The best way to maintain
flexibility is to stretch regularly. Whatever
your age, you must incorporate stretching
at least once a day. Even if it is not part
of an exercise regimen, there are several
simple stretching exercises that you can
do at your desk or even in front of the
TV. If time is short, focus on stretches
that work the larger muscle groups such
as shoulders, hamstrings, hips and lower
back, and the calf muscles. It is these areas
that are prone to stiffness and soreness as
we grow older. But remember to always be
careful to not overdo it.
Flexibility exercises should also be
incorporated into your normal exercise
program, which may involve resistance
(strength) training and cardiovascular
exercise (walking, jogging, swimming and
cycling). By doing so, you can improve
both the quantity and quality of your
muscles, joints and overall health. That
being said, yoga is an effective way to
complement your exercise routine for
greater flexibility. Unlike most other
physical exercise that work only on a
physical level, yoga involves both your
mental and physical capabilities. There
is a balance of energy between the body
and the brain as well as increasing your
flexibility, toning your muscles, and
improving your lung capacity. All basic
yoga poses work towards increasing the
flexibility of the body so that it is capable
of performing more complicated poses as
time goes by. It would be wise therefore to
incorporate yoga as a regular part of your
workout program.
There are several ways to improve your
flexibility. Stretching and exercise help
considerably but you also need to keep an
eye on your diet and nutrition. Eating junk
food and snacking on fatty and sugary
snacks can make matters worse. You can
promote fitness by combining a balanced
diet (full of fresh fruits and vegetables)
along with nutritional supplements that
support joint health and improve your
mobility.

The ever-popular food trucks
are now in Cathedral Square
every Friday, from 11am.
Friday Food Trucks are
back and you’re invited!
The Summer of
2014-15 attracted more
than 1,000 people
every Friday night
back in to the heart of
the city. Thanks to this
success and building on the
popularity of the Commons
Food Trucks over the winter, the
Friday Street Food Market will now be
back in the Square every Friday from
11am, with things in full swing by 4pm in
time for people to stop by after work.
Carolyn Ingles, Urban Design and
Regeneration Unit Manager says, “Friday
Night Food Trucks is a fun activity that
provides a great reason for people of all
ages to come into the Central City, see
the progress being made and see how
Christchurch is being reshaped, restored
FRIDAy StREEt
Food Market
and revitalised.”
“Come, eat, relax. Let the
kids enjoy the fair-like
atmosphere that gives our
Central City a warm
and friendly feel. Make
Cathedral Square your
backyard each Friday
night. Just come, bring
the family, meet up with
your friends - you won’t be
disappointed,” Ingles says.
Some of the trucks you might see
include: Mamacita’s, Rodi’s Spice Fusion,
Rollickin’ Gelato, Sherpa Kai, Ceylon
Kitchen, Fritz’s Wieners, Kiwi Churros,
Transylvanian Delight - Chimney Cakes,
Tiki Taco, All Thingz Nice, Liberty

By Ross Kiddie
Emulating the concept of the original
Suzuki Swift wasn’t going to be easy,
however, the newcomer has been well
received and judging by the sales figures it
is going gangbusters.
Harder still for Suzuki was creating a
new Swift Sport, that car has long been
a bang-for-your-buck model which has
appealed to all generations of buyers
who just want that little bit of extra
performance.
I really like the Swift Sport, it’s a fun car,
and while it doesn’t have lightning speed
it offers exhilaration in moderate doses.
Such is its appeal to me, I even talked a
work colleague into a Sport just prior to
his retirement, and he loves it.
With the arrival of the new Swift, the
Sport comes completely redesigned. I’m
pleased to report that Suzuki is making
good use of its turbocharger development
process, the 1.4-litre turbocharged fourcylinder
unit from the Vitara is the new
engine for Swift Sport, although its engine
management protocols are structured
more for performance.
The engine is also down 213cc from the
previous generation unit, but that matters
little for not only is the new Swift Sport
more economical, it has higher power
outputs than its 1.6-litre predecessor.
Suzuki rates the engine with 103kW
and 230Nm, that’s up 3kW and 70Nm
from before, a 44 per cent increase. What’s
more, the power outputs are far
more usable than before,
peak power is realised
at just 5500rpm,
while maximum
torque stretches
from 2500rpm to
SUzUKI
has done it
3500rpm. That
means you don’t
have to work the
engine hard to glean
performance, its best
delivery is through
the mid-range and that
is what you want from
the modern engine.
As before, there’s a choice of
manual or automatic transmission. There’s
been a lot of debate lately about the value
of manual transmissions in our country.
I’m of the belief they are essential, and I
was so pleased that the evaluation car was
a manual – after all, European buyers still
flock to the manual gearbox, so there must
be some merit in that.
In manual form the gearbox has ratios
which extract well engine performance,
it will keep the engine honest yet it will
also dawdle at city speeds without taxing
the driver, but it also encourages throttle
action. Against the clock the new Swift
will scamper from a standstill to 100km/h
in around 8sec and will make a highway
overtake in 5sec.
While its performance is desirable, the
Swift Sport’s main claim to fame is in its
handling. Suzuki has created a whole
new platform for the new model, and the
Sport has a refined mixture of ride
quality for comfort along with
the firmness needed to
promote sports car-type
handling.
There is absorption
within the springs and
dampers, the ride is
compliant, and it will
tackle uneven surfaces
with a surprising
amount of suspension
travel, yet it also clings
to the road with a low
centre of gravity and even
balance.
I took the test car on my usual
highway loop through to Hororata with a
slight excursion up to part of the amazing
road leading into Lake Coleridge Village.
A busy day meant I didn’t have time to
tackle the entire distance, but even to the
point of Terrace Downs where I turned
around to come home, I gleaned enough
of an indication of the Swift Sport’s
wonderful handling capability. It’s a pointand-turn
performance car with directional
accuracy not often seen in a car of this
price.
The Swift Sport is listed at an amazing
$28,500 (automatic add $500), which to
me indicates a special package. There is
lot of kit in the car and Suzuki should
be congratulated for providing the Sport
driver with a lot of features for comfort
and convenience, as well as safety.
The Swift Sport will also offer realistic
fuel usage returns. It must be taken into
account that most modern turbochargers
are also responsible for leaning out
fuel use, and when there are only small
cylinders to fill with fuel, usage is always
going to be miserly.
Sure, if you constantly work the
accelerator up and down, the Swift Sport
won’t be quite so thrifty. I was quite
aggressive during my time with the test
car yet it still listed a 7.8-litre per 100km
(37mpg) combined cycle average. Suzuki
claims 6.1l/100km (46mpg) is achievable,
and I guess if you take into account that
at 100km/h a 5l/100km (56mpg) figure is
showing, then Suzuki’s claim could well be
achievable.
It would be fair to say I particularly
enjoyed my time in the new Sport. It
certainly reinforced my desire for manual
transmissions and I just felt so at ease with
its driveability in general. It’s not a car for
the serious performance enthusiast, but
it is an all-rounder which will provide
honesty every time you open the throttle.

Broadway Hitmen follows on from the
grand success of An Evening of Rodgers
and Hammerstein Classics, the midseason
concert which wowed audiences
last year.
The Ryman Healthcare Showbiz
Christchurch Orchestra, 16 soloists and
a large chorus will fill the Isaac Theatre
Royal stage to present a concert of backto-back
hits from two of the biggest
names in musical theatre, Cole Porter and
Andrew Lloyd Webber.
American born Porter wrote over
800 songs during a career spanning five
decades, conquering both Broadway and
Hollywood. His soaring melodies, offset
with urbane and witty lyrics, gave rise
to his signature musical genre known as
‘the Cole Porter song’. Iconic musicals
like Anything Goes, Can Can and Kiss
Me Kate remain stage and screen classics,
finding new audiences with every decade.
Many of his greatest songs have been
covered by modern stars like Michael
Bublé, Robbie Williams and Lady Gaga.
British composer Andrew Lloyd
Webber is arguably the best known name
in modern musical theatre. In 2017
he became the first composer to have
four musicals playing simultaneously
on Broadway since 1953. Webber has
written some of the world’s most loved
and successful musicals including Evita,
The Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ
Superstar, CATS and Sunset Boulevard.
“This is more than just a ‘stand up and
sing’ concert,” says Musical Director Ravil
Atlas. “Each of the 26 songs presented has
been cherry picked and represents the best
and most popular songs from two of the
greatest Broadway melodists.”
Atlas, who originally comes from
California, has had a distinguished and
varied career in opera, musical theatre and
ALL tHE
SoNgS
you have been
waiting for
concerts for over 25
years. He has starred
as the leading
tenor in more than
70 professional
opera productions
in six countries,
performed the role
of Piangi in the
Broadway production of
The Phantom of the Opera
in San Francisco, starred as
Jean Valjean in Les Misérables and
has taught many other professional singers
and actors at the highest level. In 2017
he appeared as a mentor in TVNZ’s The
Naked Choir.
Stage Director Nickie Wellbourn is
charged with bringing the songs to life on
stage. “Each song performed in Broadway
Hitmen will have its own on-stage
storytelling,” says Wellbourn. “I’ll also be
including a few surprises to build on the
‘wow’ moments from the 2017 concert.”
One surprise which can be revealed
is the inclusion of former Christchurch
actor/singer Nic Kyle, who is now based
in Vancouver. Kyle will be singing
‘Gethsemane’from Jesus Christ Superstar,
which he performed to critical acclaim
whilst touring Australasia with world
famous musical theatre diva Elaine Page
in 2012.
Kyle was described in a Stage Whispers
review as “a musical theatre artist with
an amazing voice who wowed the
audience. His songs were received by
rapturous applause which rivaled the star
performer, and the show would be worth
seeing for his performance.” The tour
with Paige opened doors for Kyle on the
West End, where he performed for four
years and was nominated for Best Actor
(BroadwayWorld) for his role in Savage
(The Arts Theatre).
Kyle grew up
in Ilam, attended
Christ’s College, and
graduated from the
National Academy of
Singing and Dramatic
Arts (NASDA). In
2009 he performed
the lead role with Showbiz
Christchurch in the New
Zealand premiere of Miss Saigon
before landing the touring gig as Paige’s
sole supporting act.
Kyle will be joined on stage in Broadway
Hitmen by 15 other soloists, a 30 strong
orchestra and a chorus of more than 50
to present all the songs from two of the
greatest popular melodists in one concert.
“I was introduced to the songs of Cole
Porter by my mother when I was a child
and I have loved them ever since. They
were her favourites and now they are
mine,” says Wellbourn. “I hope to see an
audience full of people sharing the music
they love with younger members of their
family.”
The repertoire will take the audience
from the birth of Broadway with Cole
Porter’s witty and suave Broadway
standards from the 1930s, through the
Lloyd Webber blockbusters. “It starts with
1930s nostalgia and ends with Broadway
on steroids,” says Atlas. “It’s all your old
friends together in one concert from
two writers who gave the world popular
melody.”
And for those who don’t think they
know any Porter or Webber songs, Atlas
and Wellbourn reassure “there are plenty
of songs you will recognise and don’t
realise that you already knew!”
Broadway Hitmen will be at the Isaac
Theatre Royal for four performances from
13-15 July 2018.

PROMINENT Cantabrians
have given a mixed response to
the possible futuristic look of
Cathedral Square.
Plans for what the Square
could look like were released
by Regenerate Christchurch
yesterday after seven years of
debate and controversy over the
slow progress of the rebuild.
It includes three covered
pavilions, which would have
a “lattice-style” translucent
roof, which could host markets
and other events.
FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.
The long-term vision, which is
estimated to cost between $60-
$80 million, aims to bring people
back into the area, through a

spaces.
The vision for the Square also
includes Cathedral Gardens
with trees and water features,

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

Yoga is a fabulous way to get moving
and help your body retrain itself
to become more flexible or
maintain its flexibility which
is of major importance
as the body ages. Yoga
offers the opportunity
for a person to
reconnect with their
physical and mental
wellbeing and provides
a subtle, low stress
way of regaining body
confidence after an injury,
illness or sedentary lifestyle.
There are different yoga practices to
consider and try. Although, they are
very similar in poses, there are slight
differences and you will determine
which method you prefer.
Yoga provides numerous health
benefits and has been scientifically
proven to reduce stress, joint pain
and blood pressure. Yoga focuses on
reconnecting you with you, which
benefits your mental and emotional
wellbeing as your inner core reconnects.
Regular yoga practice can help
influence weight loss, but not in the
“traditional” sense of how we link
physical activity to weight loss. Yoga
exercise burns fewer calories than
traditional physical exercise like walking,
swimming or biking. Yoga focuses on
increasing one’s mindfulness and stress
reduction. This helps a person with their
LImBER UP
with yoga
stress management which affects eating
habits and nutrient absorption.
Yoga can be done at a
studio, or in the comfort
of your own home and
doesn’t require fancy
equipment. Fifteen
minute sessions or
longer, a few times
a week is highly
recommended to help
the muscles remember their
flexible flow. If you don’t use your
muscles, they lose their flexibility, but
you can always start over as muscles and
yoga are forgiving.
Adding yoga to your lifestyle at home
is as easy as one, two, three.
1. Place a towel or mat on a large
enough area in a room that you can lay
down and stretch out on the floor
2. Start either music or a video in
the comfort of your own home. Start
slowly as your body becomes use to
the stretching poses. Go at your own
pace. Be slow and kind to yourself.
Only push a little further when you feel
comfortable. Use a support device or
extra towel as your body is relearning
how to stretch
3. Breathe and breathe deep

Piki Poke, The Crossing
Lyttelton ski maker
teams up with
champagne company
Veuve Clicquot has teamed up
with Lyttelton’s Kingswood Skis
to release 10 pairs of limited
edition skis.
The Kingswood X Clicquot
collaboration skis have a bold
colourama print with a hardwearing
finish.
Founded by Kris and Alex
Herbert in Lyttelton in 2005,
Kingswood Skis is a boutique,
hand-made ski maker wellknown
for its durable skis with
bold graphic prints.
The 10 pairs of limited edition
skis, which will be hand-made by
Alex in the Lyttelton workshop,
have been created for the
Clicquot in the Snow festival in
Queenstown in August.
“We are honoured to be
collaborating with Verve
Clicquot on their annual winter
champagne festival to develop
this limited-edition ski. It’s such a
natural fit. With this collaboration,
we’re celebrating winter and the
joy of things made well,” Alex
said.
The limited edition run of
Clicquot Skis will be available to
order direct from Kingswood Skis.
Matariki night markets at the
Arts Centre
The Arts Centre will host night markets for
the first time next week to celebrate Matariki.
The markets, on July 6 and 7, will take place
from 4pm-10pm. There will be kapa haka
performances, live New Zealand music,
traditional kai and favourites such as fish and
chips and pavlova, along with New Zealand
arts, crafts, and jewellery. The markets are
among a number of events the Arts Centre
is holding to celebrate Matariki, which is the
Maori name for the cluster of stars also known
as the Pleiades. The cluster rises in mid-winter
and marks the start of a new year.
Dimitris now open near
Plymouth Lane
Dimitris Greek Food cart has returned to
the central city. The iconic Greek eatery
which opened more than 20 years ago
reopened in Cashel Mall near Plymouth
Lane on Friday. It used to be in Re:START,
which later became the container mall,
until it closed in April to make way for the
new Riverside Market. Dimitris will have a
permanent store in that new development
when it opens early next year. Others can
get their fix at the Riccarton Rd store.
If you’re after a fresh and light lunch
option, say aloha to Piki Poke.
It specialises in poke bowls, a
Hawaiian dish consisting of rice, salad,
marinated fish and toppings.
Up until February, it was a little
experienced cuisine in Christchurch.
That is until Piki Poke opened on the
second floor of The Crossing.
The concept is simple: Choose your
base, protein, three salad ingredients,
sauce and the toppings sprinkled over
at the end.
I went for a sesame slaw for the base
topped with raw tuna as the protein.
For the salad garnishes I ran the
grated beetroot, edamame beans and
seaweed salad.
Of the seven sauce options, I opted for
the creamy wasabi mayo, then topped
with whole roasted peanuts, sesame
seeds and crunchy fried shallots.
There are two serving sizes, a regular
or a large. Don’t underestimate the
regular, which I had, because it’s more
filling than it looks.
If you want to stop in for lunch, be
warned. It is a small space and the
queue can go out the door. While it
may not be the best atmosphere to eat,
it’s a short stroll to The Terrace.

Top tips for planting in winter
In the midst of
winter, Rachel
Vogan provides a
few top growing tips
COLD NIGHTS and clear days
are good for the garden. Plus,
the frosts that kill many insect
and bug problems are generally
followed by a sunny day, making
clean-up and pruning tasks
rather pleasant.
Over the next few weeks
pruning should be front of
mind; a good winter clean-up
now will pay dividends in the
upcoming season. The basics
of pruning and cutting back
is to limit the size of the plant,
which allows more light and
air movement into the plant’s
centre, and to always remove
any damaged or diseased limbs.
Don’t be afraid to use your
loppers liberally.
Another focus can be any
trees, shrubs or roses that are
in the wrong spot. These can be
moved now, just remember to
dig the new hole first or have any
pots ready and waiting.
Vegetables
Parsnips should be on the
menu now as a winter staple. Did
you know that you do not need
to harvest them all at once? Once
they mature they can be left in
the ground until mid-spring,
saving you room in the fridge.
This crop can only
be grown from seed sown in
October or November, while the
soil is still cool.
Keep planting garlic. Hunt
out the fattest cloves you can
find and aim to get them in the
ground this month. Seedlings
will appear in the shops soon as
well.
Spring onions, spinach, winter
lettuce and mustard can all be
transplanted into the ground
now too.
Crop cover
Just like humans, parts of the
garden like a little protection
from the cold elements. Frost
cloth is a good option to cover
up tender citrus and climbers,
and portable cloches and
vegetable frames take the chill off
the soil to speed up the growing
process of many winter edible
crops. Crop frames are easy to
make from materials you may
have at home. Net curtains work
well when stretched between
bamboo canes or if you have old
windows about the place, prop
these up on some bricks or slabs
to offer protection.
Water features
At this time of year, algae
can quickly build up in water
gardens, mostly because of fallen
leaves. Remove leaves
as soon as they fall to help
control the problem. Now is also
a good time to empty ponds and
features that are small enough to
do so.
Once empty, allow to fully
dry out and treat the area with a
pre-algae treatment, which you
will find in the garden centres.
In cold areas, float a ball in the
water to prevent small ponds and
features from freezing.
Fruit trees
Plant bare-rooted trees now.
July and August are some of
the best months of the year to
plant deciduous fruit trees like
apples, peaches, pears, apricots,
cherries, plums and nectarines.
They cope better with planting
out as the plants are in a state of
dormancy, limiting transplant
shock, which can happen if
planted in the warmer months.
For gardens where space is
limited, consider planting
double- or triple-grafted fruit
trees, this not only saves space
but allows you to enjoy a wider
variety of harvest.
Seeds, seeds & more
seeds
On those cold days when
venturing outdoors isn’t an
option, start thinking about
what crops you want to grow in
this upcoming season. All the
seed catalogues are out now, and
available online. It’s also a good
time to stock up on seed-sowing
essentials like seed-raising mix,
seedling trays and labels, etc.
A good idea is to share seeds
with friends – often I find there
are too many seeds for just my
garden so passing around excess
plants or seeds with others saves
space and time, and makes it
fun too.

Woods train crash helps the battling Bulldogs
IN THE space of 10 days last
year, Bulldogs fans had every
right to believe again.
On April 30, they signed
Kangaroos and NSW prop Aaron
Woods on a four-year deal. Soon
after, they convinced Kieran
Foran to leave the Warriors to
play again under coach Des
Hasler.
And now? One prized signing
has left the building, the other
is still in the building but badly
injured. On Tuesday, Woods was
released to join the Sharks for the
rest of this season and another
three after that. Meanwhile,
Foran is about to have surgery on
a busted toe that will sideline him
for the rest of the year.
“Stability is something I’m
really looking forward to,”
Woods told the Sydney Morning
Herald. “I’m excited about the
next three-and-a-half years.”
You can imagine the collective
eye roll from Bulldogs supporters
as he said it. Didn’t Woods leave
his beloved Wests Tigers because
he wanted “stability?” Instead,
he walked straight into a salary
cap catastrophe that has set the
Bulldogs back years, one that has
ultimately claimed the jobs of
Hasler, chief executive Raelene
Castle and, finally, chairman Ray
Dib.
Does Woods reckon he’ll see
out his Sharks contract?
“Definitely,” he said, before
nervously grinning. “Well, I hope
so.”
The reality is Woods’ departure
is of enormous benefit to the
Bulldogs. As harsh as it sounds,
it would help them even more if
Foran decided over the next six
months that it’s time to consider
his life after football.
Both the Bulldogs and Sharks
are claiming victory over the
Woods deal, adamant they’re
getting the best value for money.
Woods’ move has been talked
about for weeks but it wasn’t
confirmed until late on Monday.
The timing was important. If
Woods was to play for the Sharks
against the Warriors in Auckland
on Friday, he needed to be named
The Star
on Tuesday night in their 21-man
squad.
And with Paul Gallen headed
for retirement, and Wade
Graham and Luke Lewis battling
injuries, and with the Sharks
needing a big boy in the middle
to ensure they make the finals,
it is a smart signing for coach
Shane Flanagan.
It will be a long time before the
salary cap mess at the Bulldogs
is untangled, but Woods’ early
departure relieves a lot of
pressure.

All Blacks return for Highlanders – except Squire
• By Steve Hepburn
HIGHLANDERS loose forward
Liam Squire is unlikely to face
the Chiefs on Saturday due to a
shoulder injury – but the side’s
other All Blacks will front in Fiji.
The Highlanders resumed
training on Tuesday and are
due to head to Suva on a charter
plane today.
Squire injured his shoulder in
the second test against France
and did not play the third test
at Forsyth Barr Stadium. It was
hoped he would be right for the
match in Fiji but Highlanders assistant
coach Glenn Delaney said
the loose forward was unlikely to
make it on Saturday.
Delaney said all the other All
Blacks who had come back into
the camp were in good nick and
fitted in straight away.
‘’They have been in camps
all year, so again it has become
pretty normal for us to get them
back. What our All Blacks are
great at doing is getting out of
one environment and coming
back to another,’’ he said.
Seven Highlanders made it
onto the field for the All Blacks
on Saturday, which was pleasing
for Delaney.
‘’They did themselves proud
and made us proud and we’re
pleased to see them back. It is
always exciting to see guys realise
their potential. Some guys are
only just starting their journey.
Others are well through it, and
getting better.
‘’One thing we like is our
guys always like coming back
and seeing the boys here. Our
environment is very different
from the All Black environment.
That is based on our culture,
context and people. The guys love
coming back to us. They love the
All Blacks but once they come
back here they are 100 per cent
Highlanders.’’
The Highlanders trained
indoors at the Edgar Centre
yesterday, getting away from the
Dunedin chill.
Delaney is looking forward to
the warmer Fiji climate.
“Last time I went to Fiji it was
my honeymoon. It is an opportunity
to take the Highlanders
on the road and see some new
people. We have some strong
connections there with Waisake
[Naholo] and Tevita [Nabura]
and a lot of old Landers over
there. So we will be linking up
with them.’’
The Highlanders had a hit-out
last week in Invercargill with a
solid 29-10 win over the French
Barbarians.

Brothers in arms chase league title
Duo link up at
Northern
Bulldogs
• By Gordon Findlater
BAMFORD brothers Chris
and Jason have a lot in
common – they’re both
massive props, are
renowned for breaking
tackles, start most
sentences with
“yeah mate” and
always seem to be
up for a laugh.
They’ve also
won four Canterbury
club
league premierships
between
them. However,
it’s taken until this
year for them to play on the
same team.
When Chris, 35, returned
from a stint playing in Orange,
New South Wales, late last year
he was unsure of where he would
play his club footy this season.
However, his mind was quickly
made up after a conversation
with his older brother Jason.
“I just said to [Chris], why
don’t you come to Kaiapoi and
play for the Northern Bulldogs?
They’ll love you,” said Jason.
“I said if you [James] come out
of retirement, then I’ll come and
play for the ‘Dogs,” said Chris.
Jason, 38, retired from the
game in 2011 and up until January
had no interest in returning
to top flight club league.
“I lost the love for the game.
But this was too good to turn
down,” said Jason.
“I know that Kaiapoi is always
looking for forwards so I started
getting back into the gym.”
The decision is reaping
rewards. On Saturday, Jason
crashed his way over the line to

Bulldogs’ props Chris and Jason

Rugby League premierships
between them.

score a match-winning try in the
Bulldogs’ 24-20 win over
the Hornby Panthers.
The win moves
them into a tie
for second in
the premiership
with
the Panthers
on
14 points.
The
try was
Jason’s
third
of the
season.
Chris is
currently
one
of the
leading try
scorers in the competition with
nine. While the pair are both
battering ram props with Chris
125kg and Jason 130kg, how they
go about scoring differs, according
to Jason anyway.
“He [Chris] is a bit more of a
hot stepper and seems to jam
his way through a gap, whereas I
like to go straight through guys,”
said Jason.
Although the pair haven’t
played on the same team until
this year, it’s not like they haven’t
tried. Jason has previously
transferred to Linwood Keas and
Celebration Lions in an attempt
to link up with his brother. However,
on both occasions Chris left
for offers to play in Australia.
“We’ve always been really close
so it’s a privilege to finally be
able to play next to one another,”
said Jason.
But he’s not just playing alongside
his brother, now he’s also
being coached by him. Chris has
come on-board at the Bulldogs
as a co-coach – alongside Brent
Ringdahl – with the idea of taking
over as head coach next year.
Chris isn’t new to coaching.
His first coaching experience
came unexpectedly in 2010 in
Australia when his agent Frank
Endacott found him a job as a
player-coach with Warialda in
north-west New South Wales.
“Frank Endacott rang me and
said get over there and play. He
then told me I was the coach
as well. I thought bloody hell
he’s thrown me in the deep end
because I’ve never coached . . . he
said don’t worry, it will be easy
mate,” said Chris.
“As it turns out, [Endacott[
looked after me because you get
paid more for being a playercoach.”
Chris is going for his own
three-peat with the Bulldogs
this year. He won the Pat Smith
Trophy with the Linwood
Keas in 2016. Last year he was
instrumental in Orange CYMS
winning the group 10 premiership.
He was also awarded the
competition’s player of the year
award. “Yeah mate, the goal this
year is to get to the grand-final.
Once you’re there anything can
happen on the day . . . we want
to send a few old boys out with a
bang,” said Chris.
One of those old boys is Jason,
who, along with Kyle Reuben,
are the only surviving members
from the Bulldogs’ one and only
premiership win in 2007.
Even with coaching duties set
to increase next season Chris
doesn’t see himself hanging up
the boots anytime soon.
“The body’s not too bad at the
moment, definitely not as bad as
Jason’s anyway,” said Chris.
On Saturday the Bulldogs host

Knights at Murphy Park at 3pm.
Rally remedy: Being hung-over and cold
WAKING UP severely hungover
at 6am on Saturday
morning I had to contemplate
whether the near two hour ride
to Fairlie on easily the coldest
morning of the year was worth
the pay-off of watching some
rally cars.
Generally speaking, I don’t
feel standing in negative degree
temperatures with numbing toes
while having your ear drums

not feeling 100 per cent. But
when the first car you see on the
day is Hayden Paddon coming
around a blind bend completely
sideways at 100km/h-plus on an
icy road, any ill feelings quickly
pass by.
On Saturday the South
Canterbury hosted a round
of the New Zealand Rally
Championship for the first time
since 1984. Thank goodness the
decision has already been made
to include the event in next
year’s calendar – it’s a spectator’s
paradise.
Even with the hesitation to
get out of bed and desire to get
back to Christchurch before
dark, I made it to four of the
rally’s 11 special stages. However,
it was possible to easily get to
at least six stages, including a
blast around Levels Raceway,
due to the close proximity of
stages and number of accessible
intersections.
Compare that to the recent
Canterbury Rally around Ashley
Forest, where you’ll spend 50min
driving from one spectator point
to another and be lucky to see
three stages. Perhaps it’s time to
make points of the forest more
accessible to spectators or make
use of the fast-flowing public
roads surrounding the forest in
North Canterbury.
From talking to drivers, the
proximity of the stages in South
Canterbury also appears to be a
hit with them, making for less
time in the car between stages.
The South Canterbury Rally
was one of the fastest in the
world. In all but one of the
10 public road stages, the top
stage time was set at an average
speed of more than 120km/h,
made even more remarkable
considering the drivers were
dealing with icy roads in the
early morning stages.
We may not be getting the
return of a round of the
World Rally Championship
any time soon, but with 96
entries at the weekend’s event,
including our own WRC driver
and two of Australia’s top
drivers, the competitive level of
rallying on a whole appears to
be in a very good spot in New
Zealand.
It might be a further
drive from Christchurch
than Ashley Forest but come
next year the South Canterbury
Rally will be a highly-anticipated
day out, especially for the
Fairlie pork belly pie waiting to
warm me up and blow off some
dust.

The top four teams will be
looking to stay out of trouble
during round 10 of the Massetti
Cup competition on Saturday.
None of the top four teams
play each other, which means
the bottom four teams have a

CLUB DUTIES: Rameka Poihipi hopes to win the metro
club title with Lincoln University before pushing his case
for selection with Canterbury in the Mitre 10 Cup.

• By Gordon Findlater
RAMEKA POIHIPI became the
latest Lincoln University player
to turn out for the Crusaders
after a surprise call-up to play
the French Barbarians.
Poihipi, 19, moved south to
Christchurch last year after
standout seasons playing at firstfive
for Hamilton Boys’ High
School in 2015 and 2016 which
saw him heralded as one of the
most promising players coming
out of secondary school.
“A big part of the decision was
to be able to both study and play
rugby . . . it’s obviously a really
successful university that has
had some great players come
through,” said Poihipi.
After playing predominantly
at colts level for Lincoln University
last year, he has stepped up
this season and become a key
component to the team winning
the first round of the Hawkins
Cup. Poihipi was also the leading
scorer during the cup campaign
with 122 points.
That form saw him called
into the Crusaders for a couple
of training sessions where he
made enough of an impression
to make his debut at second-five
for the team against the French
Barbarians on June 15, before
heading to Perth last week to
play the Western Force.
“I was really surprised . . . I’d
been training with them for
a couple of sessions and just
win over Hornby, host cellardwellers
Riccarton at Murphy
Park. Papanui host Hornby at
the Papanui Domain.
Metro premier rugby
University and Lincoln
University will look to push
their claims for contention in
the metro rugby second round
competition on Saturday.
Both teams have a win and
loss heading into week three
in the compact section A. Topof-the-table
Christchurch will
look to keep their unbeaten run
going against Sydenham, while
Sumner will host New Brighton,
with both teams desperate to
find that winning feeling.
In section B, high-flyers
Marist will travel to Burnside;
High School Old Boys host unbeaten
Shirley and Linwood will
welcome Belfast, eager to avoid
the wooden spoon.
CPL men’s hockey
Seemingly unstoppable
Harewood will face a stern challenge
from Marist during round
10 of the CPL competition on
Saturday. Harewood have won
all nine of their games so far
and have an 11-point buffer on
second-placed Carlton-Redcliffs.
However, Marist can leapfrog
their way to second if they upset
the favourites.
In other matches, Carlton
Redcliffs will look to get past
HSOB-Burnside, Southern United
will look to maintain fourth
place by repelling the challenge
of Fendalton/Avon and University
will host Hornby.
assumed I was there to make
up numbers, so I was really
honoured when I found out I
was going to be playing,” said
Poihipi.
“It was surreal. You see all
these guys on TV and next
minute you’re rubbing shoulders
with them and being welcomed
into their environment with
open arms.”
He will return to club rugby
this weekend when Lincoln University
play University at Ilam
Fields in a repeat of last year’s
club final.
You only need to look 12
month’s back from that club
final to see the odds of Poihipi
going onto bigger things are in
his favour.
The 2016 Lincoln University
team that won the metro final
against New Brighton consisted
of a backline made up of
Jordie Barrett, Caleb Makene,
Jack Goodhue, Harrison
Groundwater, Josh McKay, Brett
Cameron and Ere Enari.
Since then Barrett and
Goodhue have both gone onto
represent the All Blacks. McKay,
Enari and Cameron have all
played at Super Rugby level,
while Makene and Groundwater
have both played Mitre 10 Cup.
Poihipi also has genetics
on his side. His father – also
Rameka Poihipi – played 61
games at halfback for the Bay of
Plenty Steamers between 1994
and 2002.
For now though, Poihipi says
he’s remaining grounded with
his eye on a club title before
pushing his case for game time
with Canterbury in the Mitre 10
Cup.
CPL women’s hockey
Two mouth-watering games
highlight the latest round of the
CPL competition on Saturday.
The top-of-the-table clash
between Carlton Redcliffs and
unbeaten HSOB/Burnside
promises to be a treat, while
fourth-placed Marist will play
Harewood. Both matches have
the possibility of drastically
changing the complexion of
the competition. H and B Avon
will battle Southern United to
avoid the wooden spoon while
Hornby has the bye.

Like most auto repair businesses, Diesel Doctor in Addington
offers customers a courtesy vehicle to use while their own vehicle
is being repaired. However, Diesel Doctor goes the extra mile for
customers by also offering a Hiace van. This means tradies and
others that use their van for work won’t be out of pocket while
their van is being repaired by Diesel Doctor’s expert technicians.
It’s all part of their bumper-to-bumper service, which includes
all types of mechanical repairs and servicing to both petrol and
diesel vehicles. The workshop is fitted out with computerised
scanning equipment, enabling the technicians to pinpoint
exactly what needs to be done. This includes repairs to both
manual and auto transmission gearboxes, as well as full engine
reconditioning.
Customers can have all their auto-electrical work and panel
repair work done through Diesel Doctor too. They provide
WOFs and are also agents for Kumho tyres and AA batteries. So
basically, it is a one-stop-shop for all types of auto repairs and
servicing.
Owned and operated by qualified engineer and mechanic Tony
Wessels, Diesel Doctor was established in 1994, and since then
has built up a reputation for quality workmanship and friendly
service.
So next time your diesel or
petrol vehicle needs servicing
or any type of repairs contact
Tony at Diesel Doctor, phone

THE CHANCE to create history in a
Moascar Cup challenge, and the potential
continuation of this year’s fairy-tale
story, headline the ninth round of the UC
Championship.
On Monday Shirley Boys’ High have
a chance to secure the Moascar Cup for
the first time in school history with a rare
challenge against Nelson College.
The challengers have won five of their
last six UC Championship games with
their only loss being to Christchurch
Boys’ High 17-19.
While SBHS may not be having one
of the vintage seasons that saw them
make back-to-back finals in 2015 and
2016, they will face an anything but
vintage Nelson College which have
struggled with losses to Marlborough
Boys’ College, Rangiora High and St
Bede’s College. Nelson College will
come into the clash on the back of a
busy schedule at the annual quadrangular
tournament where they went
down to Wanganui Collegiate 13-19 on
Monday before thrashing Wellington
College 40-0 yesterday.
The tournament was won by Christ’s
College after they defeated Wanganui
33-7 in the final yesterday. Meanwhile,
Lincoln Combined are back on home
turf when they look to continue their
great run of form which has them
Armstrong gets maiden
formula three victory
MARCUS ARMSTRONG continues
to raise his profile as one of the world’s
most talented up-and-coming open wheel
drivers.
Armstrong, 17, recorded three podium
finishes, including a maiden victory at the
weekend, to shoot to the top of the formula
three European championship.
The third stop of the championship
took drivers to the Norisring street circuit
in Nuremberg, Germany. Armstrong won
the opening race of the weekend from
pole to record his first win in the championship.
He backed that up with a second place
finish in race two which gave him the
overall points lead in the championship.
In race three, Armstrong led for the early
part of the race but struggled for grip
sitting third in the championship. On Saturday
they face slow-starters St Andrew’s
College. STAC have taken it up a gear
in the last month to win four straight. If
they are to make a late play-off run, a win
is a must here with their final four games
coming against CBHS, SBHS, Christ’s
and St Bede’s.
Round nine: TBHS v Mid-Canterbury
Combined, St Bede’s v Aoraki
Combined, Christ’s v Waimea Combined,
CBHS v Marlborough Boys,
Lincoln Combined v STAC, Rangiora
High v St Thomas, Nelson College v
SBHS.

in the later stages which saw him fall to
third position. “My goal for this weekend
was to score as many points as possible.
However, I didn’t expect to be on the
podium here three times and to be taking
the lead in the drivers’ standings,” said
Armstrong.
After nine races of the 30-race championship,
Armstrong is on 101 points – one
point ahead of British racer Dan Ticktum.
The championship is a proven path to
formula one – 2016 winner Lance Stoll
now drives for Williams-Mercedes in
formula one, while 2016 champion Lando
Norris currently lead the formula two
championship.
The next three races in the championship
are in Zandvoort Netherland from
July 14-15.

Don’t compromise
your homes
comfort!
Simple ways to keep the
winter power bills down
The cold snaps mean higher power
bills as we snuggle up in front of
heating to keep warm but there are easy
ways to lower your power bill without
compromising on comfort, according to
EECA Energywise.
Technical expert Christian Hoerning
says recent research* indicates there are
still about 12 million incandescent light
bulbs in New Zealand homes – which,
if replaced with energy efficient bulbs
would reduce household energy bills.
“You can run an energy efficient
television for the same price as one
incandescent bulb – these bulbs are
outdated technology. LEDs use up to 85%
less energy than standard incandescent
light bulbs for the same light output and
each bulb you replace will cost you $20
a year.”
Mr Hoerning says the price of LED
bulbs has dropped dramatically.
“Look out for specials as low as $4 a
bulb.”
Hot water is another area where people
can make serious savings, according
to Mr Hoerning. He says the research,
carried out by BRANZ, shows about 46%
of houses surveyed had showers with
high flow rates.
“This isn’t about having a lousy shower.
You get a very comfortable shower with a
flow rate of 9 litres a minute. A family
of three with a 12 litre per minute
shower could save over $200 a
year by reducing that to 9
litres per minute.”
If your shower fills
a 10 litre bucket in
less than a minute,
it’s wasting water,

NEW LISTINGS
Mr Hoerning says. He advises inserting
a low-cost shower flower restrictor or
getting a new, efficient shower head.
Other top tips:
• Use cold washes - unless you have an
especially dirty load. Modern washing
machines and detergents clean well using
cold water. A hot water wash can use 10
times more electricity than a cold wash.
• If you have a heated towel rail, only
use it when needed. A heated towel rail
left on 24/7 can cost you $170 per year
to run. You can buy timers for towel rails
that come on automatically at certain
times of the day.
• If you have a second fridge only to
chill a few drinks, it could cost you $200 a
year to run if it’s an old, inefficient model.
Consider turning it off or getting rid of it.

T
he firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand
new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? The
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our
home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s
cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d
even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we
fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little
Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s
eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to
cut it in our climate.
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up
the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission
to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on
page 20.
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would
relish doing it again. I wa struck by how a l the home owner said
wha they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to
“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.
We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room –
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,
co lected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!
Gaynor
Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can
be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”
