TECH SAVVY: Reed McHugh, Jessika Sanders, Kate Brown and Lucy Eyre-Walker with their winning robot. 

Pupils take out competition with AI robot 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

AN AWARD-winning robot 

programmed by Selwyn House 

School pupils has been described 

by their teacher as moving 

like it’s possessed by “voodoo” 

magic. 

Year 8 pupils Reed McHugh, 

Jessika Sanders, Kate Brown and 

Lucy Eyre-Walker, all 12-yearsold, 

won the senior rescue 

division of the Regional 

Robocup Competition 

last week. 

The competition was 

judged on each robots 

ability to play sports, 

perform theatre or rescue 

itself. 

Three teams from the 

school competed. The 

year 6 team was second 

equal in the junior theatre 

03 349 5050 

division and the year 7 

team was third in the 

senior theatre division. 

Year 8 teacher Simon 

Christie, who guided 

the winning team, 

said the senior rescue 

division required 

pupils to programme 

a robot to follow a

complex because they have 

breaks in the line so the robot has 

to figure out how to get around 

where the line isn’t there,” he 

said. 

“In the senior division, just to 

make it really difficult, they put 

a dirty great Coke bottle in the 

middle of the line, so the robot 

has to leave the line, go around it 

and find the line again to carry 

on. It looks like voodoo when

THAT WOULD have been one big 

moment so to speak for St Andrew’s 

basketballers Mac Stodart and Charlotte 

Whittaker and Middleton Grange’s Sofia 

Kennedy (see page 13). 

The promising youngsters met Steven 

Adams, a $36 million a year NBA man, at a training camp in 

Palmerston North. That’s the kind of money the big stars of the 

NBA earn. 

Adams ran the camp for 40 hand-picked teenage players 

from around New Zealand. For Stodart, Whittaker and 

Kennedy, to have made it speaks volumes for their potential. 

To have Adams running it I hope has energised their 

aspirations to go as far as they can in the sport. 

And if you look at the photo, Stodart isn’t too far behind 

Adams in the height stakes.

Community split over Northwood trees 

Pensioner 

wants them 

chopped 


SEVERAL TIMES a year, 

Northwood pensioner Bob 

Davison has to climb a ladder to 

clear his gutters of debris from 

the giant gum trees across the 

road. 

Mr Davison, 74, has lived in 

his Saracen Ave home since 

2006. He wants six gum trees 

across the road removed as they 

block his afternoon sun and 

drop, leaves, bark and nuts. 

However, residents are split 

over the issue. 

“They’re beautiful trees in the 

wrong place,” he said. 

“My concerns are debris, 

shading, and then the safety 

aspects because we’ve had 

sticks that have been an inch in 

diameter hit our window in the 

middle of the night with a strong 

southerly.” 

He said the Northwood 

Residents’ Association has been 

working with the city council 

to alleviate the problem, but it 

wasn’t enough. 

SHADY ISSUE: Bob Davison wants six gum trees in 

Northwood to be cut down because of the debris they drop 

onto his property and gutters (inset). 

“[The city council] is getting 

Treetech to come in and strip 

the bark and they are better than 

they were, but we’ve still got 

shading and the problem with 

the gutters.” 

“One lady said to me ‘I look at 

them every morning’ and I said 

‘well, look, if we get them taken 

down I’ll get a painting put on 

your window’.” 

“It’s not in their backyards so 

why would they care?” 

Another resident, who didn’t 

want to be named, was shocked 

by the calls to have the trees 

removed. 

“Those beautiful trees have 

been there for a very long time 

– long before the Northwood 

subdivision was ever designed.” 

The resident said cutting the 

trees down would be a “drastic” 

move. 

“I would like to think 

commonsense will prevail 

and a less drastic resolution 

can be found as I believe this is 

not a decision to be made 

by only a small number of 

residents on behalf of all of 

Northwood.” 

Northwood Residents’ 

Association chairman Clive 

Smith said the community is 

“divided” over the issue. 

“There’s a lot of people that 

think these trees are absolutely 

part of the landscape. But they 

don’t live in the shadow of them, 

and they don’t have to put up 

with the things that Bob and his 

neighbours put up with.” 

He said he felt a middle 

ground could be reached. 

“We went to the council and 

said ‘you have got to do better 

for these residents’, and what 

we expect is an improvement of 

the maintenance programme 

around these trees.”

BUS CHANGES APPROVED 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has approved changes to a

School needs help to keep pool open 


FOR ABOUT 40 years, the 

Waimairi School pool has been a 

“social hub” for the community. 

But with maintenance costs of 

$10,000 a year, the school needs 

a helping hand to keep the pool 

running. 

Principal Mike Anderson said 

the PTA was making efforts to 

raise money for the pool. 

“Every year we do fundraise, 

but this year because the costs 

have been increasing, we are 

setting up a separate pool effort. 

Usually the PTA support it from 

their general fundraising,” he 

said. 

“It’s really important, and we’re 

very fortunate to have a school 


THERE IS no definitive answer 

as to how Merevale became 

Merivale – but history buff Tim 

Baker thinks he might have the 

answer. 

A year or two 

ago, Mr Baker 

was gifted a 

photo album 

book full of 

images from 

the suburb, 

three of which 

Tim Baker 

are pictures of 

a homestead 

labelled ‘Merivale’. 

The pictures were taken by 

United Kingdom photographer 

Nelson King Cherrill between 

1876 and 1881. 

But the funny thing was that 

Merivale was still known as 

Merevale up until the 1890s. 

“Recently I thought I would 

research to see if [the house] still 

remains and if Merivale got its 

name from this property, as so 

many of our suburb names have 

done so in Christchurch and 

elsewhere,” he said. 

“I have Google-searched and 

asked about it but have hit a 

pool. We are totally committed to 

keeping it going.” 

The PTA hosted a gathering 

on Friday to encourage local 

businesses to become sponsors in 

exchange for putting up signage 

around the pool. 

He said by having the pool on 

site, the school was able to give 

children essential water safety 

skills. 

“We want all of our kids to 

have basic aquatic skills by the 

time they leave our school.” 

“Our PTA also fund a professional 

swimming tutor to work 

with the children who need extra 

assistance who aren’t picking it 

up from the classes that teachers 

run . . . and that’s free of charge 

to our families. Learning aquatic 

brick wall. City library staff have 

researched and are baffled too.” 

skills is part of our curriculum 

and our curriculum should be 

free, not something parents have 

to stump up extra for.” 

And the pool was not only an 

asset for the school, but also for 

the wider community. 

“The pool is used by about 100 

families every year out of hours, 

so it’s a real social hub. It’s a real 

meeting point for the community,” 

Mr Anderson said. 

The pool was also at the centre 

of community barbecues, school 

leavers’ parties and sports events.

Unravelling the mystery of Merivale’s name 

MAKING A SPLASH: The Waimairi School PTA needs help 

raising the money to keep the school pool running. 

He said he didn’t think the 

homestead would still be standing, 

but he hoped someone might 

be able to shed light on it. 

MYSTERY: This photograph 

of a homestead labelled 

Merivale was taken between 

1876 and 1881 – years before 

the suburb’s name Merevale 

was changed to Merivale. 

“I don’t think it’s still there, 

otherwise we’d know about it 

. . . my theory is that it burnt 

down in a fire.” 

Historical research showed 

there were a few theories as to 

how Merivale got its name, but 

none had been proven. 

One theory was that a woman 

named Charlotte Jackson bought 

100 acres (40ha) in the area and 

named it ‘Merevale’ after her 

brother-in-law, Thomas Jackson, 

who was the vicar of Merevale, a 

town in England. 

But Mr Baker thought perhaps 

the name had come as the result 

of a typo. 

“Maybe the photographer 

made a mistake with the ‘i’ and 

that’s just how it stayed.”




CONGRATULATIONS: Frank Frizelle (right) after receiving his honorary

recipients received. 

St Albans surgeon receives 

international recognition 

• By Sophie Cornish 

A ST ALBANS-based 

bowel cancer surgeon and 

researcher has received 

international recognition 

from one of the world’s 

largest surgical colleges in 

Ireland. 

Last month, Frank 

Frizelle was awarded one 

of the highest honours, 

an honourary fellowship 

from the Royal College of 

Surgeons in Ireland. 

It recognises his global 

leadership in surgery and 

comes on the back of 

ground-breaking research 

from Prof Frizelle and 

his Otago University and 

Canterbury District Health 

Board research teams, who 

recently identified a toxic 

bug they believe may cause 

bowel cancer. 

The team found a toxic 

form of a bacteria called 

enterotoxic bacteroides 

fragilis in the gut of almost 

80 per cent of people with 

a pre-cancerous lesion – a 

precursor to the disease, 

which is one of the leading 

causes of cancer death in 

New Zealand, said Prof 

Frizelle. 

It could lead to a lifesaving 

vaccine or early detection 

test for the disease. 

Prof Frizelle said he was 

“delighted and privileged” 

to be recognised with the 

award which came “out of 

the blue.” 

“It’s quite a big deal. The 

Irish college doesn’t offer 

this to many people so it’s 

quite special,” he said. 

It was especially exciting 

for his mother, Nanci, 

who has Irish heritage. She 

was too frail to travel but 

was able to watch her son 

receive the award through a 

live-stream video. 

Prof Frizelle said bowel 

cancer has gone under 

the rader for a long time 

because people are often 

embarrassed to talk about it. 

His team were also the 

first to show differences in 

the gut microbiome linked 

to different types of bowel 

cancer. 

The discovery could 

mean in future clinicians 

can give patients the 

treatments, surgery or 

medications shown to work 

best for particular types of 

cancer. 

Prof Frizelle is a surgeon 

at Christchurch Colorectal 

in St Albans, editor in 

chief of The New Zealand 

Medical Journal and head 

of university department 

of surgery at Otago University.

FAILED: Residents’ bid to have heavy vehicles banned from the Glandovey and 

Idris Rds intersection in Fendalton has been put on the back-burner. 

Board puts brakes on 

heavy truck ban for now 


THE DOOR is still open 

for Fendalton residents’ bid 

to ban heavy vehicles from 

the Glandovey and Idris 

Rds intersection – but the 

issue has been put 

to bed for now. 

The Fendalton- 

Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community Board 

has taken the issue 

off its agenda. 

Chairman Sam 

MacDonald said 

it would consider 

looking at the issue 

again in the future, but the 

reports indicated a ban was 

not “necessary”. 

The board received 

reports on the intersection 

at a meeting last week and 

decided to drop the issue 

from its agenda. 


WHEN Brenda and 

David Anderson built 

their Fendalton home two 

years ago in preparation 

for retirement, they were 

“delighted” with their park 

views. 

But their delight was 

short-lived. 

For the past six months, 

the couple have been battling 

the city council over 

a 4.5m tall suction tank, 

which is to be installed 

in Jeffreys Park, over the 

fence from their Waiwetu 

St property. 

“It was dreadful,” Mrs 

Anderson said. 

Sam 

MacDonald 

“Those reports said that, 

by and large, those heavy 

vehicle restrictions aren’t 

exactly necessary in that 

patch relative to the rest of 

the city,” he said. 

“I’m certainly not closing 

the door on it . . . 

but my view at the 

moment is that, given 

we have had those 

reports, it has gone 

through the process.” 

But Idris and 

Straven Residents’ 

Association 

spokesman James 

Wilding said he 

wasn’t happy with the 

outcome of the meeting. 

“We do not think 

that Christchurch 

residential suburbs 

should have these very 

big trucks, particularly 

40-50 tonne B-trains, 

with all the noise, 

“We’ve lived by the park 

for 48 years. Our daughter 

lives nearby, and that’s why 

we bought this place . . . 

our daughter and grandchildren 

will be just across 

the bridge.” 

Mrs Anderson said the 

couple had planned on taking 

legal action, but they 

didn’t have any fight left in 

them. 

“We couldn’t bear it any 

more. We had a lawyer 

representing us, but it got 

too much . . . we just can’t 

keep going at our age, and 

probably they know that.” 

“Unfortunately, we just 

have to let it go and move 

on.” 

fumes, vibration and 

risk, traversing them 

unnecessarily when there 

are commercially-lined 

roads and purpose-built 

major arterial roads and 

highways available.” 

He said there should be a 

“balance” in the decisions 

made on roading issues 

across the city. 

“We do not want 

these roads to have the 

CBD treatment, but it 

is difficult to reconcile 

what has happened in 

the CBD, in the interests 

of the environment, 

health, safety, heritage 

and amenity, with 

various council decisions 

discounting those factors 

in various suburbs,” he 

said. 

“A more balanced 

approach to each might be 

good.” 

Fendalton couple give up 

fight to keep park views 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald said the city 

council would work with 

residents to alleviate 

concerns about the tank, 

which will be constructed 

next to the original pump 

station. 

“On the whole, it was a 

good outcome.” 

“We listened to the 

concerns raised through 

the deputations, and one of 

the recommendations was 

that the staff would work 

with residents just to make 

sure the planting plan and 

everything around it is 

satisfactory.”

NATASHA SENIOR is just 

14-years-old and already making 

her mark in the fashion scene. 

The Burnside High School 

student designed and made a 

garment that has been selected 

to feature on the New Zealand 

Fashion Week runway. 

Her design will be part of the 

Walk the Line event on Sunday, 

which is run by youths hoping to 

get into the fashion industry. 

Natasha said her design was 

inspired by New Zealand culture 

and the Pacific Ocean. 

“I wanted something really 

close to home, promoting New 

Zealand culture, rather than 

designing something ‘in’ that’s 

internationally sold because 

everyone wears it. I wanted 

something that would make an 

impact on the market.” 

“To be based on the Pacific, 

I used swimwear material for 

the pants, a material called 

neoprene. It kind of looks like 

the ocean.” 

It won’t be the first time 

Natasha has made waves in 

fashion – she’s taken part in the 

Brother Design Stars competition 

“a few times” and won it in 

her second year of competing. 

Natasha discovered her love 

for fashion when she was just 

five-years-old. 

“My mum inspired me to 

start taking my ideas from my 

notebook to real life. We had a 

sewing machine so I could just 

make stuff.” 

“There’s all these ways of 

expressing yourself through 

clothing. I love it.” 

She said she was looking 

forward to the Walk the Line 

event. “It’s really fun, I get to 

hang around people who are 

interested in the same things as 

me.”

Where’s the money? 

Fendalton- 

Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Board deputy 

chairman 

Aaron 

Campbell writes about the 

money being spent on the 

state of local roads 

COSTLY BUMP: Aaron 

Campbell asks where will the 

money come from to fix the 

city’s potholed roads. 

THE CITY council has been 

trying to make a silk purse from a 

sow’s ear and central government 

holds the purse strings. In the 

end, this costs Christchurch 

ratepayers. 

Recently issues raised by 

residents all over the north-west 

highlight the dissatisfaction 

many have with the state of our 

roads, traffic volumes and their 

negative effects on local amenity. 

More could be done, but where is 

the money going to come from? 

Over two thirds of heavy vehicle 

journeys are made on local 

roads, averaging 12km per trip. 

This generates half the revenue 

(tax) going to the National Land 

Transport Fund, yet less than half 

the money spent comes back to 

our local roads – reducing work 

programmes and levels of service. 

So what were the priorities? 

Economic growth and productivity, 

safer journeys and seven 

roads of national significance, 

including Christchurch’s motorways. 

The Government wanted 

reduced travel times in key corridors 

and increased freight vehicle 

productivity across the network. 

The city council’s 2015 response 

to the Government Policy 

Statement on land transport said 

44 per cent of our roads had minor 

to severe earthquake damage 

and that the SCIRT repair programme 

will result in significant 

ongoing costs. It also stated that 

funding for maintenance hadn’t 

increased with inflation. 

The NZ Automobile Association 

expected that a funding 

shortfall would emerge over 

time as there wasn’t an equity of 

distribution. Guess what? They 

were right. 

We can only wait to see if the 

2018 GPS makes material change 

as it aims to address infrastructure 

deficits across regions and 

cities, while increasing economic 

growth, improving safety and 

taking a broader view on public 

transport, modal change and 

emission reduction. 

Finally, I ask what happened 

to the $63.4 million loan in the 

2015 GPS for the reinstatement 

of earthquake damaged roads in 

Christchurch? 

HEARD: Christchurch Central MP Duncan Webb meets with 

Mairehau residents to hear their concerns about bus route 

changes in the area. 

Readers respond to 

Mairehau residents’ 

concerns about a bus 

route change that would 

see buses drive through 

their “peaceful” streets 

Nick Stoneman 

– All of you 

complain (but) 

still want the Orbiter 

near by and 

expect it to turn 

off a busy road just 

to loop around . 

. . then head out again which 

would require a massive timetable 

rewrite. Sorry if you don’t 

like the proposals, then tough. 

Nic Davies – Get over it, 

it’s not all about you, think of 

other people who need buses, 

children should not be playing 

on the road, maybe move to the 

country for peace and quiet. 

Amber Underwood – I 

live in this area, and it’s not really 

about the noise, it’s 

more about the safety of 

the kids walking to and 

from school that people 

are worried about. Particularly 

with a bus stop 

moving right next to a 

pedestrian crossing, decreasing 

visibility and 

impeding traffic flow. 

John Robb – Stop whining 

– you sound like Aucklanders. 

Jo Kirwan – Glenfield Cres 

is way too narrow for a bus. 

Such a ridiculous idea to divert 

buses that way.

St Andrew’s finds the right beat 


ST ANDREW’S College Pipe 

Band has returned from the 

world pipe band championships 

with smiles on their faces. 

The group took out second 

place in the juvenile category of 

the competition, which was held 

in Glasgow, Scotland. 

Scottish co-education school 

Dollar Academy, from Dollar, 

near Stirling, came first. 

Pipe major Louis Newman, 

who had been playing the 

bagpipes since he was six years 

old, said the 15 day trip was an 

amazing experience. 

“We were practising every day, 

of course, and doing all the sightseeing 

of monuments, castles 

and all the cool things you do in 

another country.” 

He said the competition was 

stiff, so the group was “ecstatic” 

to come second. 

“We all watch videos of bands 

playing on YouTube, but to 

be there and actually watch 

these class bands in action was 

surreal.” 

“We’ve been working at it 

for such a long time, and these 

Scottish bands are simply unreal, 

they are top quality bands. So for 

us to come second just made us 

ecstatic.” 

Band director Richard Hawke 

said it was a “brilliant” result for 

the 27 current students and three 

2017 leavers who made up the 

band. 

“The worlds provide the 

ultimate test of the skill and 

ability of our pipers and 

drummers and the band’s 

performance was absolutely first 

class.” 

Mr Hawke said the result was 

even more impressive given 

the band faced two significant 

challenges. 

“Going from a Christchurch 

winter into a Scottish summer 

is a dramatic change for the 

instruments. We were also 

coming out of the New Zealand 

off-season and hadn’t competed 

since winning the nationals in 

March,” he said. 

“Our only competitive practice 

was playing in a couple of smaller 

competitions in Scotland the 

week before the worlds, when 

we faced teams which had been 

competing solidly for three 

months.” 

More than 8000 pipers and 

DRUMMER: The St Andrew’s College Pipe Band performed in Glasgow and took out second 

place in the juvenile category of the world pipe band championships. 

drummers from 13 countries 

competed at the event, which 

celebrated its 70th anniversary 

this year. 

This was the fith time St 

Andrew’s College had competed 

at the Worlds since 2007, with its 

young band winning the juvenile 

title in 2013. 

Rector Christine Leighton said 

she was “incredibly proud” of the 

team. 

“The competition at the worlds 

is intense and the standard was 

unbelievably high in the Juvenile 

grade. The commitment and 

discipline required by members 

of the band is very demanding.” 

SCHOOLS 

MUSICIANS: The St Andrew’s College Pipe Band had an “amazing experience” during its 15 day trip to Scotland’s Glasgow to compete in the world pipe band 

championships.

Papanui kendo champ brings 

medals back from nationals 

• By Jacob Page 

KENDO MARTIAL artist Masa 

Matsunami has returned home 

to Papanui with three golds 

and one bronze medal from 

the national championships in 

Invercargill. 

The Canterbury Kendo Club 

member won the senior men’s 

event while clubmate and Cashmere 

High School student Kai 

Edwards was third. 

Upper Riccarton’s Eric George 

was named the men’s junior 

champion. 

The Canterbury team of 

George, Edwards and Matsunami, 

as well as Edgeware’s 

Yuma Tamaki and Sydenham’s 

Chris McGill, won the overall 

teams event. 

Matsunami, 18, said he was 

delighted to pick up both the 

senior men’s and teams national 

titles – a feat that his coach Blake 

Bennett was unable to do during 

his career. 

Bennett, who also coaches 

New Zealand, said he couldn’t 

be happier with the entire team’s 

performance. 

“I was very pleased that the 

men’s team was able to do so well 

at the national level,” he said. 

“We have worked to 

incorporate a great deal of 

cutting edge training and 

coaching tools in preparation, 

and it all came together really 

well on the big day,” he said. “We 

are extremely grateful to the New 

Zealand Racing Board for their 

kind grant to get the team to the 

nationals. As kendo is completely 

amateur, results like this for our 

young guys wouldn’t be possible 

without this assistance.” 

Matsunami will be part 

of the New Zealand kendo 

team to attend the 17th

world championships next 

month. The competition will be 

held in South Korea. 

“Both the men and women are 

up against some tough cookies,” 

Bennett said. 

“This result at the nationals 

will go a long way to building 

confidence in our younger 

members, and we are looking 

forward to the experience.” 

Hickford first to score 

100 for St Andrew’s 


ST ANDREW’S College striker 

Declan Hickford has become the 

first person to score 100 goals for 

the St Andrew’s College first XI. 

The 17-year-old scored nine 

goals against Rangiora High 

School in the lead-up to the 

semi-finals to achieve the feat. 

St Andrew’s lost the play-off 

game 4-1 to St Thomas’ last 

week. But St Andrew’s will meet 

Marian College in the girls final 

tomorrow afternoon. 

Burnside High School will 

meet St Thomas’ in tomorrow 

night’s final after they beat 

Cashmere High School 3-0. 

Hickford has scored 102 goals 

for his school, which included 43 

this season. 

“It feels amazing to have 

achieved it. It’s such an honour,” 

Hickford said. 

“I remember my first goal for 

St Andrew’s in my second game, 

so it’s been an amazing four

years.” Hickford has also been a 

regular in Canterbury age-group 

teams and is in his first season 

with Selwyn United in the 

Mainland Premier League. 

“The physicality is clearly 

something that takes time to 

adjust to, but also matching 

that with the speed of play,” he 

said. 

“Sometimes the secondary 

school games can be played at 

a friendly-type pace and that’s 

certainly not the case with the 

MPL teams.” 

Hickford said playing in the 

MPL means he has more time 

on the ball at secondary school 

level. 

“I’m working on my finishing 

skills, mostly because I have 

more time on the ball than what 

I would have in the MPL,” he 

said. 

Hickford will now chase his 

next individual goal – trying to 

earn a scholarship to a United 

States college.

Field trip has big impact on students 

• By Anan Zaki 

BURNSIDE HIGH School 

student Brayan Kamminga 

loves a bit of action-packed 

engineering, especially when it 

comes to cars and planes. 

He and 29 other students from 

Burnside High visited Holmes 

Solutions’ Templeton impact 

testing centre as part of the ‘week 

of engineering’, organised by 

Engineering New Zealand. 

Brayan said his favourite 

part of the visit was seeing the 

crashed cars from impact tests. 

“I would have liked to see them 

crash on the day,” he said. 

But the 17-year-old and his 

Discover gardening 

at a horticultural 

society meeting 

The Canterbury 

Horticultural Society’s fruit 

and vegetable growing 

meetings start next week. 

Each event will offer an 

opportunity to learn and 

discuss techniques, buy 

seeds and share stories 

SPRING flowers blossoming 

throughout the city are a clear 

signal that it’s time to get your 

vegetable garden set up and ready 

to go. 

To help the Canterbury 

Horticultural Society has set up 

a specialist fruit and vegetable 

group focusing on edible 

gardening. 

Organisers say the group 

provides an invaluable way 

for new gardeners to learn 

how gardens are managed in 

each season, and learn about 

techniques such as crop rotation, 

composting, and fertilising. 

The first session will focus 

on tips and tricks for growing 

plants from seeds. Experienced 

Christchurch home gardener Phil 

Ducker will give a demonstration 

on how best to plant seeds. 

Mr Ducker’s presentation aims 

to provide answers on where to 

plant, how close to plant, how 

SCHOOLS 

peers did see some action. 

The visit involved dropping a 

trolley full of weights from the 

top of a 6m tower into a barrier 

filled with water. 

The students’ objective was to 

work out how much water should 

be added to the crash barrier to 

make the car stop in exactly 1m. 

“To solve this problem we took 

measurements of the friction 

force, then calculated how much 

deep to plant, which companion 

plants go best together, which are 

better separate, and which plants 

could be directly sown in the 

garden. 

Society programme coordinator 

Michele Moore said 

there is a lot to learn about the 

subject. 

“There will be 

recommendations on where to 

get your seed and which varieties 

do well here in Canterbury. 

Each variety has particular 

requirements, so success depends 

on getting these things right,” she 

said. 

It was important to share 

that information down the 

generations so that it is not lost, 

Mrs Moore said. 

Each month, Peter Saunders 

will present a segment of his 

running commentary, A Visual 

Guide To Gardening Through The 

Year, which will focus on what he 

has been doing in his garden. By 

following Mr Saunders’ progress, 

it is hoped other attendees can 

gain some insights to apply in 

their own gardens. 

The meetings will be held 

monthly with plants, books and 

tools available for purchase, as 

well as raffles and refreshments. 

mass was needed to stop the 

barrier in 1m. We then solved 

physics equations to find the 

right amount of water to add to 

the barrier,” Brayan said.

offered an opportunity 

to interact with the latest engineering

Tohu 

‘To Think’ 

‘A mark, a sign.’ 

‘Anything serving as a reminder – token of rememberance” 

Little River Gallery shows for the second time a collaborative exhibition by Robin Slow (painting), Brian Flintoff 

(carving) and Bob Bickerton (soundscape). This year they follow on in the tradition of visually forwarding 

histories and stories to be reflected on and become immersed in. 

Robin Slow an artist whose work is also held in private collections, galleries and marae throughout the country 

has used paint to create traditional forms used in conjunction with natural forms. The method of producing the 

work has a traditional background but there has been an evolving of techniques and materials. This series of 

works takes some traditional tohu, be it in the form of the composition, the patterns created or the creatures. It 

explores the past and present to produce another tohu and that is the sign towards the future. 

For many years, Brian Flintoff has created taonga puoro (musical instruments) for players and musicians 

throughout the country. Not only do these create unique sounds but he has carved into them the stories and 

histories that are woven into their function. His works are held in many major galleries throughout the world as 

well as collections and marae here in Aotearoa. 

From the painted images, carvings and reference points each has used in their works, Bob Bickerton created a 

CD to enhance aspects visually but aurally as well to form a piece to be contemplated on and be enriched by. 

Tohu (signs) surround us manifesting before and through our differing senses. Presented as a-tinana 

(physical) and wha wairua (spiritual) appearances, patterns, actions, sounds of the surrounding environment 

encompassing the seen and unseen, the ora and the mate.

BEST OF 

BRITISH 

SHOW 

THE music of Rod Stewart and Joe 

Cocker feature in a shagadelic show at the 

Hornby WMC this Saturday night. 

Presented by Auckland based 

entertainment company Stage 51, the 

show stars John Crane as Rod Stewart and 

Col Jones as Joe Cocker, MC’ed by none 

other than Austin Powers (Gary Brown). 

Gary Brown is well known for his 

incredible impersonation and 

performance skills. He has appeared in 

stage shows, TV commercials, soap 

operas, and even the occasional game 

show. Gary has been shaking his mojo as 

Austin Powers since 2000 and is the only 

world wide individual authorised by 

Warner Bros & New Line Cinema to 

perform as Austin Powers. Most recently 

he has been touring the country with the 

Legends, Best of British Show. 

Originally from Edinburgh, John 

Crane has been performing as Rod 

Stewart for the past 17 years. His act has 

been well received globally earning him 

the position as one of the top Rod Stewart

impersonators in the world. 

British born Col Jones as Joe Cocker 

will transport you back to when the 70's 

were cool with awless renditions of hits 

including ‘e Letter’, ‘Feelin’ Alright’, ‘You 

Are So Beautiful’, and ‘A Little Help From 

My Friends’. 

“What a show, danced all night, to the 

music and some comedy, from ‘groovy 

baby’ Austin Powers, was denitely ‘e 

Best of British’! oroughly enjoyed our 

night, especially John Crane! His voice is 

amazing! Absolutely THE BEST 

impression of Rod Stewart I’ve ever heard. 

Brilliant! Can’t wait for the next Best of 

British Show!” - Catherine C.
