A CANTERBURY University law 

student being investigated for a 

sexual assault has been allowed to 

go overseas on a study-related trip. 

Bu the university’s dean of 

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to 

discuss the matter. 

“I can’t comment 

about any 

of this because 

of confidentiality 

and privacy,” she 

told The Star 

yesterday. 

The Star has 

learned a female 

student has laid 

a complaint abou the accused

It is understood it is no the 

same person who has laid the 

sexual assault complain to the 

police. 

The Star has been told it is a 

rape investigation. 

The Star sent a number of questions 

to Canterbury University 

yesterday but none would be answered. 

Said Canterbury University 

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew: 

“UC cannot respond to allegations 

that are before the police.” 

She referred the questions 

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was 

turned off. 

Police would also not comment 

on the matter.

Keown ready to fight for lights 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

AARON KEOWN could finally 

get his wish to have traffic lights 

at a controversial Bishopdale 

intersection – but he will have to 

put up a fight. 

Options 

to upgrade 

the Breens, 

Harewood and 

Gardiners Rds 

intersection 

will be put to 

a vote by the 

Fendalton- 

Wairmairi- 

Aaron Keown 

Harewood 

Community 

Board on 

Monday. 

But the battle is just beginning 

as the preferred first and second 

options that will be sent out 

for public consultation do not 

include traffic lights, but instead 

road markings and a pedestrian 

crossing. 

The third option included 

installing traffic lights. 

“If you go by what the public 

wants, it’s the traffic lights,” Cr 

Keown said. 

“In that last Long Term Plan, 

the public submitted to wanting 

those traffic lights, and now 

they come back and recommend 

BATTLE: The Gardiners, Breens and Harewood Rds 

intersection could have traffic lights if Cr Aaron Keown gets 

his way. 

something else. They’re not 

listening.” 

He said he would move to 

amend the third option to keep 

Harewood Rd with two lanes on 

each side, rather than reducing it 

to one, as was proposed. 

“Otherwise we’re reducing 

the road, and it plays into their 

hands in saying this reduces 

traffic flow on Harewood Rd if 

we put in the lights . . . I know 

I’ve got the numbers to at least 

get option three through with an 

amendment. I’d be surprised if 

anyone goes with the preferred 

option.” 

Cr Keown said the next steps 

would be to ensure residents were 

listened to. 

“The line the council will 

always pull out, and that’s how 

they stopped the traffic lights 

last year, is saying ‘that’s not 

the process’ . . . they always use 

the word process, and what that 

means is the council is using that 

to cover their butts all the time.” 

“I believe the process is the 

enemy of democracy.” 

Harness racing 

WIDESPREAD suppressions 

surround harness racing figures 

charged after the long-running 

police probe into alleged racefixing. 

Ten people appeared in district 

courts on Tuesday charged 

with race-fixing, along with other 

unrelated charges, following 

the investigation by the National 

Organised Crime Group. 

Seven people were granted 

interim name suppression. 

The charges come following 

raids on multiple stables and 

properties in Canterbury, Invercargill 

and Manawatu last week. 

•Rangiora trainer Andrew 

Douglas Stuart, 41, appeared 

in the district court. He faces 

race-fixing allegations relating 

to three races earlier this year 

at Rangiora, Addington and 

Manawatu. Defence counsel 

Chris McVeigh QC said 

Stuart “strenuously denies” 

the charges, the New Zealand 

Herald reported. No application 

for name suppression was made. 

Stuart was remanded on bail 

without plea until October 2. 

•Rolleston-based trainer 

Nigel Raymond McGrath, 44, 

appeared in court last week on 

a race-fixing charge related to a 

meeting at Addington Raceway 

earlier this year. McGrath was 

given a registrar’s remand to appear 

in court on October 2. 

•Brent Stephen Wall, 47, 

pleaded not guilty in the Palmerston 

North District Court 

on Tuesday to deception by 

match-fixing. It is alleged between 

May 18 and 22 he caused 

a loss of more than $1000 to 

other people by assisting a horse 

named Sportscaster to win with 

the intention of influencing the 

betting outcome. Wall is jointly 

charged with two other people 

of committing the crime by 

manipulating the overall result 

of race six at Manawatu Harness 

on May 22. 

The charge carries a maximum 

sentence of seven years in 

prison. Wall has been remanded 

on bail to a case review hearing 

in October. 

•A 40-year-old Canterbury 

man appeared on three racefixing 

charges and two drugs

“strenuously denied” and sought 

suppression of name and charge 

details on the basis of preserving 

fair trial rights. 

Mr Eaton criticised media 

coverage of Operation Inca, 

claiming that some news outlets 

had shown “absolute contempt” 

for the court process by naming 

people before they’ve had the 

chance to appear in court and 

apply for name suppression, 

the New Zealand Herald reported. 

Judge Raoul Neave declined 

the suppression application before 

Eaton indicated the decision 

would be appealed to the High 

Court. The man has until October 

9 to file appeal papers. 

•Three other men – aged 71, 

50, and 35 – who all face racefixing 

allegations, will also appeal 

name suppression decisions. 

•A 26-year-old man facing 

fraud and drug allegations is 

making an application to the 

High Court for name suppression, 

the court heard today. 

•Two others facing drugs 

charges were granted interim 

name suppression. 

They have all been remanded 

on bail without plea to appear in 

court on October 2. 

•Last week, a 30-year-old 

Canterbury-based trainer 

appeared in court on drug 

dealing charges and unlawful 

possession of a restricted 

weapon. 

He has appealed a district 

court judge’s decision not to 

grant name suppression. 

•Trainer and driver Matthew 

Anderson, 26, of Woodend, 

was charged with obtaining by 

deception and drugs charges. 

•A 49-year-old Christchurch 

man, with interim name 

suppression also faces drugs 

charges, along with Elie Sawma, 

42, a Christchurch hairdresser, 

charged with supplying the 

Class B controlled drug MDMA, 

possession of MDMA, and offering 

to supply the Class A drug 

cocaine. 

Sawma was remanded on bail 

by consent to October 4. 

Race-fixing charges carry 

a maximum penalty of seven 

years’ imprisonment. 

The Racing Integrity Unit 

has excluded all those charged 

by police from entering a 

racecourse to attend race 

meetings, workouts and trials.

O’Connor is not one of those 

charged. 

One of the two drivers for 

whom bets were allegedly placed 

is already facing the courts. The 

other is expected to be interviewed 

by detectives when he 

returns from overseas. 

The driver who has been 

charged currently has district 

court-granted interim name suppression. 

O’Connor did not return calls 

to The Star yesterday. He was also 

not at the Trackside Christchurch 

office. 

His father Brian O’Connor told 

The Star his son had disconnected 

his phone because of “everything 

that is going on.”

Residents unhappy with decision-making 


A SECOND survey has found 

just 36 per cent of Christchurch 

residents have confidence in the 

city council’s decision-making 

abilities. 

About 500 residents were 

questioned for the nationwide 

Quality of Life Survey, which 

examined the 

well-being of 

their residents. 

The survey 

showed a drop 

from 47 per 

cent in 2016 

of people who 

Garry 

Moore 

thought the city 

council did not 

make decisions 

in the best interest of residents. 

It comes after a similarly 

low result in the city council’s 

own Residents’ Survey earlier 

this year, which found 28 per 

cent were happy with decisionmaking. 

“The same result came through 

in our residents’ survey and this 

is something we’re focusing on,” 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said in a 

city council statement. 

When approached by The Star 

for further comment yesterday, 

a spokeswoman for Ms Dalziel 

said she was in meetings and 

could not respond. 

Former mayor Garry Moore 

said elected representatives 

needed to ensure their decisions 

were supported by 

residents. 

“This needs to happen 

urgently. This will 

make them reject the 

advice from the executive 

from time to time,” 

he said. 

“They could start on 

Thursday by declining 

to accept the advice of the staff 

Gerry Brownlee 

on using $220m of the Government’s 

$300m on a stadium. 

They should spend this on 

roads.” 

Ilam MP Gerry 

Brownlee said he was 

“not surprised” by the 

result. 

“You look at some of 

the things they’ve had 

to make decisions on or 

that they should have 

made decisions on and 

they just appear not to 

have done so,” he said. 

PROCESS: 

A survey of 

residents’ 

well-being 

has revealed 

36 per cent of 

respondents 

have 

confidence 

in the city 

council’s 

ability to make 

decisions. 

“I think that recent outburst 

where David East has highlighted 

that the offices at council 

appear to have more support 

from the activities from the 

mayor than the councillors . . . 

David East is elected to represent 

people and when he’s going 

about his representative activities 

he’s suddenly being hauled into 

line by the council bureaucracy.” 

Councillor Aaron Keown 

said he thought the city council 

“wasn’t listening to residents.” 

“My fundamental core belief 

as a councillor is asking ‘is it our 

role to facilitate the way people 

want to live their lives? Or is it 

our role to dictate to people the 

way we think they should live 

their lives?’ 

I have to operate in a council 

that is in the latter and I operate 

in the former.” 

Minister for Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Megan 

Woods declined to comment. A 

spokesman for Dr Woods said it 

was “an issue for the council.” 

Other results from the survey 

found 73 per cent said Christchurch 

was a great place to live, 57 

per cent said housing costs were 

affordable, 86 per cent found 

their house was suitable for their 

needs and 68 per cent said their 

house didn’t have a problem with 

damp or mould. Seventeen per 

cent felt stressed most or all of 

the time in the last 12 months, 

and 43 per cent said they felt safe 

in the central city after dark – 

lower than the national average 

of 48 per cent. However, the 

figure was better than in 2016, 

when 31 per cent said they felt 

safe in the central city after dark. 

Seventy-eight per cent said 

dangerous driving was a problem 

in the last year and 71 per cent 

viewed begging on the streets as 

an issue.

Dalziel determined to change plan 


MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel is 

determined to make changes to 

the city’s District Plan. 

It comes after days of conflict 

over Coastal Ward city councillor 

David East’s claims the city’s 

District Plan was tampered with. 

Cr East called a press conference 

last week, where he said an 

independent inquiry is needed 

into the omission of a clause in 

the plan’s final draft. 

The clause would make it 

easier for people living in floodprone 

areas to build or extend 

their properties. 

Now, Cr East, along with supporters, 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim 

Money, deputy chairman Tim 

Sintes and Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

member Darrell Latham are facing 

code of conduct complaints. 

In Ms Dalziel’s weekly column 

(see p20) she calls the District 

Plan a “beast to navigate,” and 

says that making changes to the 

plan is not easy, but she is determined 

to do so. 

“Even if we insert the ‘missing 

clause,’ people will still have to 

apply for a resource consent, but 

at least the policy framework for 

CHANGES AHEAD: After days of debate following Coastal 

Ward councillor David East claims that a clause was omitted 

from the city’s District Plan, Mayor Lianne Dalziel has 

said she is determined to make changes to the plan. 

granting a consent will be clear,” 

she said. 

At a public meeting in New 

Brighton on Tuesday night, more 

than 300 people unanimously 

agreed to move a motion, created 

by New Brighton resident 

Gavin Bodger. 

The motion stated that those 

at the meeting fully support the 

actions of the outspoken elected 

members and they strongly 

object to the code of conduct 

complaints and request they be 

withdrawn. 

It also called for the Christchurch 

Coastal Residents’ United 

group to write on its behalf 

jointly, to the Prime Minister, 

Minister of Local Government, 

Nanaia Mahuta and Minister of 

the Greater Christchurch Regeneration, 

Megan Woods. 

The letter would advise that 

they fully support the efforts of 

the elected members and request 

an independent inquiry and 

subsequent reinstatement on the 

Lianne 

Dalziel 

David 

East 

relevant clause. 

Mr Latham said yesterday the 

support shown for Cr East and 

the others at the meeting was 

“incredibly powerful.” 

He also said there seemed to 

be a “general agreement” from 

Ms Dalziel that the matters listed 

in the motion were possible. 

Cr East said he was pleased 

that Ms Dalziel and city council 

chief executive Karleen Edwards 

have “certainly acknowledged” 

there is a problem that needs to 

be fixed and investigated. 

An informal meeting will take 

place today with Ms Dalziel, 

Dr Edwards and the elected 

members who are facing code of 

conduct complaints. 

Cr East said the meeting will 

attempt to resolve several issues 

and there will be discussions on 

whether the disciplinary hearings 

will be necessary. 

Conviction after 

15-year-old found 

working in brothel 

AN AUCKLAND couple have 

been convicted after a 15-year-old 

Christchurch girl was found to be 

working in their brothels. 

Taton Sebastian Smith, 35, and 

Tahleicia Elizabeth Seil, 25, were 

sentenced last Friday in the Auckland 

District Court for assisting 

someone under 18 to provide 

sexual services. 

Smith was jailed for two years 

and 10 months, while Seil will 

serve nine months’ home detention 

after they had earlier pleaded 

guilty. 

Both were also sentenced for 

profiting from the activity, and 

Smith for having sex with a person 

aged 12 to 16. 

The couple, who were in a 

relationship, were operating an 

internet escort agency from at 

least the start of 2014 from several 

central Auckland properties. 

At the beginning of June 

2016, Smith and Seil identified 

a 15-year-old girl living in 

Christchurch as someone to work 

for them. 

Smith and Seil then arranged 

and paid for the teen to fly from 

Christchurch to Auckland and 

begin working in their central city 

brothels.

From Sheppard to now - 125 years 

As we approach the 

125th anniversary of 

women’s suffrage 

in New Zealand on 

September 19, reporter 

Sophie Cornish looks 

into the events which 

led to the breakthrough 

in women’s rights 

ABOUT 125 years ago, Kate 

Sheppard gathered sheets of 

petition paper, pasted them 

together and rolled them around 

a broom handle. 

The document, which became 

known as the monster petition, 

gained more than 25,000 

signatures and led New Zealand 

to becoming the first selfgoverning 

country in the world 

to give women the vote. 

Next Wednesday marks the 

125th anniversary of when 

Sheppard submitted 13 petitions 

to the House of Representatives 

in 1893. Member of Parliament 

and suffrage supporter Sir John 

Hall took the monster petition 

into the House and unrolled 

it down the central aisle of the 

debating chamber. 

It is said to have hit wall, 

making a thudding noise. 

Then on September 19, the 

Electoral Act 1893 was passed 

after being signed by Governor 

David Boyle, giving all women in 

New Zealand the right to vote in 

parliamentary elections. 

Less than two months later 

more than 109,000 women 

enrolled to vote in the 1893 

election. 

The Women’s Christian 

Temperance Union along with 

Sheppard had campaigned for the 

right to vote since the mid-1880s. 

Women travelled long 

distances to hear lectures, 

speeches, attend meetings and 

sign petitions. 

But entrenched views of male 

domination, media backlash and 

counter-petitions are said to have 

slowed the process. 

Sheppard, formerly known as 

Katherine Wilson Malcolm was 

born in Liverpool and arrived in

21, led Canterbury University 

professor Maggie-Lee Huckabee 

to begin her ground-breaking 

research in rehabilitation science. 

The Professor of Communication 

Disorders said “everything 

became quite clear” following the 

injury, which left her with seizures 

and memory loss. 

She wanted to go back and 

figure out “how you can fix brains 

when they are broken.” 

Her research is saving district 

heath boards million of dollars 

every year, including more 

than $1 million annually for 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board. 

Prof Huckabee was nominated

of celebration for women’s rights 

The nomination made Prof 

Huckabee feel a little embarrassed, 

humbled and appreciated. 

She said her great-grandmother 

was a woman of influence to her. 

“She had been blind for 60 

years and lived pretty independently 

. . . when I was a child she 

was just fabulous, she was 100 

when I was 10, and I use to spend 

a lot of time with her.” 

Her great-grandmother’s 

perseverance encouraged Prof 

Huckabee to want to help people 

with disabilities. 

Eleanor Bodger: 

Director of Eldernet and Care

fighting back against ageism. 

She was nominated in the business 

enterprise category. 

Ms Bodger believes a woman 

of influence is someone “who 

is prepared to stand up and be 

counted.” 

“Addressing issues such as 

ageism is one of these . . . Women 

often felt quite invisible and now 

they are ageing, they feel doubleinvisible. 

These are big issues for 

women.”

experienced what it feels like to

The Women of Influence 

nominee grew up with three 

brothers and always excelled in 

subjects of maths and science. 

“Going through high school 

there were one or two female students 

who were good in the top 

programmes, most were male.” 

Now, as a Professor of Clinical 

Psychology, she said though being 

a minority in her field helped 

her work harder, it shouldn’t be 

that way for all women. 

“When you are a minority 

you feel like you not only have 

to be as good, but better . . . That

it shouldn’t exist. Women are no

“There has been a huge change

Prison beanies keep babies warm 

INMATES are doing their bit to 

keep newborn babies cosy this 

month. 

About 100 baby beanies 

crocheted by prisoners have 

been donated to newborns at 

Christchurch Women’s Hospital. 

And yesterday, Christchurch 

mother Cristy Aliwate was 

gifted one of the beanies for her 

newborn baby Ariana, as part of 

Christchurch Women’s Prison’s 

knit project. 

The project is growing in 

popularity and currently involves 

nine novice and experienced 

knitters. 

Prison residential manager 

Tracy Tyro said it is a constructive 

activity for inmates. 

“They appreciate being able 

to do something positive with 

their spare time. It can be a very 

therapeutic activity. The knitting 

group can be a good quiet space 

for the women,” she said 

“This is a project that really 

appeals to the women, many of 

whom have children and grandchildren 

of their own. They appreciate 

the difference a hat can 

make to keeping little ones warm. 

It offers the women an opportunity 

to create something pretty 

and practical for some of our 

community’s most vulnerable.” 

She said in addition to helping

Ariana were gifted one yesterday. 

someone in the community, the 

women have learnt other skills. 

“They learn to work and be in 

a group, to take instruction and 

share their knowledge, they can 

be creative and express themselves 

in new ways. All of these 

skills will be useful for when they 

are released.” 

The project has been running 

for eight months and is supported 

by prison staff and chaplaincy, 

and the Hope Church. 

Poppy, who is part of the prison 

group, is a very keen knitter. 

Over the past few months, she 

has knitted 83 of the hats. 

“I enjoy knitting and through 

my knitting, I can do something 

useful and give something back 

to society while I am incarcerated,” 

she said. 

“I am approached by other 

prisoners and teach them to knit 

from basics to cables. I think it 

is good for the younger women, 

keeping them busy.”

would like to donate 

please contact Jen 

Hardy, acting regional 

volunteer co-ordinator at

Prison, on 345 6400.

Bush Inn revamp starts soon 

DEVELOPMENT at Bush Inn 

is about to get under way. 

Following much planning, 

the centre is about to undergo 

what is essentially a complete 

transformation, Andy Bell 

development manager for 

Bush Inn Centre owner 

Ganson Group said. 

“The lack of trucks on site 

to date has raised the question 

of what and when things are 

happening,” Mr Bell said. 

“However, like most things 

these days confidentiality and 

timing are everything and its 

all in the planning.” 

Countdown will replaced 

by The Provedore – an 

international style, open plan 

food market. 

It will open in March after 

the refurbishment of the 

former supermarket space, set 

to start later this month. New 

operators include an Asian 

supermarket, a specialist fruit 

and vege shop, a speciality 

butcher, seafood specialist, 

gelato bars, a halal butchery 

and more. 

“We promised to deliver an 

entirely new and real offering 

to compete with bog standard 

supermarkets and here it 

comes now,” Mr Bell said. 

UPGRADE: Granson Group development manager Andy Bell said a transformation 

at the Bush Inn Centre is about to start. 

Briscoes will also open next 

year. 

While the former Liquor 

King premises will be 

demolished later this 

month to start that process, 

following several construction 

delays. 

Smiths City also vacated its 

site earlier in the year to allow 

for further development of the 

centre. 

Mr Bell said that a “very 

modern and family-oriented 

retail and entertainment 

offering like nothing else in 

Christchurch” will soon be 

announced there.

Sparks Rd 

speed likely 

to be reduced 

• By Julia Evans 

THE SPEED limit on busy Sparks 

Rd is likely to be cut from 80km/h 

from 60km/h. 

The city council has proposed 

the drop between between 

Hendersons Rd and Milns Rd. 

The road connects Halswell, 

Westmorland and Hoon Hay. 

A city council report said the 

changes are necessary as a result 

of increased activity and to prepare 

for future developments. 

“The current 80km/h speed 

limit is no longer suitable and the 

city council is proposing to reduce 

the speed limit to 60km/h.” 

The drop would also affect part 

of Hendersons Rd as it approaches 

the Sparks Rd roundabout from 

Halswell Rd. The new speed limit 

would be in place from November. 

It is part of wider changes to 

the area for the Quarryman’s 

Trail cycleway, including a shared 

path on Sparks Rd which would 

connect to developments in the 

Hendersons Basin and the Eastman 

Wetlands.

New head for East Lake group 

• By Julia Evans 

DRAGON BOATING stalwart 

Meri Gibson is the new 

chairwoman of the East Lake 

Trust. 

The trust was launched in 

2014 as a lobby group for the 

proposed international standard 

flat water facility planned to 

span Kerrs Reach to Bottle Lake 

Forest as part of the red zone 

regeneration. 

Ms Gibson has replaced 

lawyer David Goodman, who 

had been chairman since the 

group’s inception. 

Said Ms Gibson: “David has 

worked extremely hard over the 

last four years and felt it was 

time for someone else to lead 

the trust. David is an invaluable 

member of the team and will 

stay on as a trustee.” 

She is the managing director 

at consultants Calibrae Ltd, 

as well as the club president of 

dragon boating team A Breast 

of Life, made up of breast cancer 

survivors. 

Last month Gibson was 

voted the new president of the 

International Breast Cancer 

Paddlers Commission at the 

world championship regatta in 

Florence, Italy. 

She is also a founding member 

PROPOSAL: Meri Gibson has become the new chairwoman of the East Lake Trust, which is

of the South Island regional dragon 

boating body Aoraki Dragon 

Boat Association and was president 

until 2016. As well as event 

director for the New Zealand 

Dragon Boat Association. 

Ms Gibson’s appointment 

comes at the same time as Regenerate 

Christchurch released 

the findings of feedback on 

its red zone exhibition for the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

Regeneration plan. 

The largest response was for 

a proposed green spine, which 

was rated positively by 91 per 

cent of respondents. 

The 11km green spine would 

be about 150m wide on each side 

of the Avon River, connecting 

the city to New Brighton with 

nature trails, cycleways and 

playgrounds. 

More than 2000 people gave 

feedback at the exhibition space 

in Cashel Mall. 

But the East Lake Trust said 

the facility was not given fair 

consideration after it was left out 

of the exhibition. 

Ms Gibson said the survey 

findings are “flawed” and “misleading.” 

“Regenerate implies that 

East Lake is a low priority for 

residents because a relatively low 

number of people – six per cent 

– expressed concern that East 

Lake was not featured in their 

recent exhibition. Yet Regenerate 

had excluded East Lake from 

the exhibition.” 

A rally organised by the East 

Lake Trust was attended by 

more than 500 people. It also 

organised a petition, which has 

more than 12,000 signatures. 

The city council, Environment 

Canterbury, Ōtākaro, the department 

of the Prime Minister 

and Cabinet and Te Rūnanga o 

Ngāi Tahu will also give feedback 

on the proposal. 

The draft regeneration plan 

will then go to Minister for 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods for sign-off.

Gun site walking tracks will be open 

• By Matt Salmons 

A MAJOR part of Canterbury’s 

military history at Godley Head 

will re-open to the public by 

Christmas. 

The three Godley Head gun 

emplacements were built during 

World War 2 as a counterbombardment 

battery to deter 

enemy ships getting into range to 

shell Lyttelton’s port facilities. 

Department of Conservation 

Christchurch operations 

manager Andy Thompson said 

they would not only re-open, but 

the walking track would pass 

through them and they would 

feature artworks and signage to 

make the history of the site come 

alive. 

“I might be pushing the envelope 

and raising expectations, 

but that’s what I expect,” Mr 

Thompson said. 

The emplacements had been 

closed since June 2011, as damage 

sustained in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake and subsequent 

aftershocks made them unsafe. 

“They were built to withstand 

shelling, not earthquakes,” Mr 

Thompson said. 

Consents for work to remediate 

emplacements one and two 

were with the city council now 

and would likely go out for tender 

soon. 

Geo-technical reports indicated 

the majority of the cliff 

side area was safe, Mr Thompson 

said, but the land around emplacement 

three was considered 

at risk of shearing off so would 

remain closed. 

To finish the work, Mr 

Thompson said DoC would 

need to clean off the more than 

$100,000 worth of graffiti and 

tagging damage done since the 

site closed. 

“It’s really tragic as we don’t 

have the budget to clean that. 

We’re working with Dulux on 

a potential partnership to deal 

with it,” he said.

“It’s a really nice image that’s 

in keeping with the nature of 

the site. Other taggers haven’t 

touched it.” 

The same logic would be 

applied in preventing future tagging 

damage. 

Mr Thompson said DoC 

had enlisted Sydenham-based 

graffiti artist Wongi Wilson to 

paint murals of what life at the 

emplacements looked like during 

World War 2.

by end of year Unlocking mysteries of rare fish 

The idea is that taggers would 

be less likely to vandalise the 

work of a professional graffiti 

artist. 

“It’s a way of telling the story 

of the site’s history through a 

contemporary medium.” 

Example’s of Wilson’s work

Monster on Hereford St and 

the hide and seek mural on the

Godley Head Heritage Trust 

historian Peter Wilkins said the 

murals would bring the history of 

the site to life for visitors. 

“It’s surrounding people with 

the history, it’s like the stones are 

talking. 

“We want quality, not just 

enthusiasm, and when you see 

Wongi’s work, it really is quality,” 

Mr Wilkins said.

RADIO-TRACKING OF a 

rare native fish is under way 

to try and solve the mystery of 

where they are spawning near 

Marshland. 

In 2015, lamprey, a threatened 

species, were discovered living 

in high numbers in the Canal 

Reserve Drain in the Styx River 

catchment. 

Now, the National Institute of 

Water and Atmospheric Science 

is using innovative tagging and 

tracking technology to find out 

where the lamprey are laying 

their eggs. 

Its efforts are supported by 

city council, Department of 

Conservation and Environment 

Canterbury. 

Nine adult lamprey have so 

far been fitted with passive 

integrated transponder tags and 

released back into the drain. 

Their movements are being 

monitored using both fixed and 

a portable hand-held antenna. 

The timber-lined box drain 

is nearing the end of its life and 

needs to be repaired or replaced, 

so the tracking data will help 

inform city council on what to 

do next. 

In 2013, NIWA scientists 

discovered the first lamprey 

spawning sites in the Southern 

Hemisphere when the jawless 

fish were found to spawn beneath 

boulders in a bush stream 

on Banks Peninsula. 

However, city council waterways 

ecologist Greg Burrell said 

surprisingly, lamprey may also 

be using the wooden lining of 

the drain as a spawning site and 

appear to be flourishing in this 

unusual location. 

The monitoring project now 

under way is of national importance, 

Mr Burrell said. 

It will continue until next 

year when hopefully enough 

information will have been 

collected. 

NIWA principal scientist 

Cindy Baker said the fish won’t 

spawn for 16 months, so it’s a 

long wait. 

When the radio tag batteries

die, after 150 days, the scientists 

will rely on tags to follow them 

to their spawning habitat. 

“The over-arching goal is to 

provide knowledge on what 

habitats are vital to maintaining 

lamprey in the drain and look 

at options for how the council 

can upgrade the box lining to 

protect the lamprey population 

and the habitats they use, while 

also making the drain more 

sustainable for the future,” said 

Dr Baker.

Our People 



David East 

Controversial councillor’s 

Coastal Ward city 

councillor David 

East has been in hot 

water since he held a 

press conference last 

week calling for an 

independent inquiry 

into an erased clause 

in the city’s District 

Plan. He speaks to 

reporter Sophie 

Cornish about his 

life outside of local 

politics 

Where did your involvement 

in the east all begin? 

I am a fourth-generation 

resident of the area. I was born 

in the Burwood area, where my 

parents farmed in horticulture. 

When I got married, I moved 

back into the area, so I have been 

essentially back since 1980. But as 

I said, my parents, grandparents 

and great-grandparents on both 

sides of the family all lived in the 

North Beach or New Brighton 

area. I live in North Beach now. 

Where did you grow up? 

I started at Burwood School, 

then my father brought land on 

Marshland Rd and farmed there. 

So I grew up in a little place 

called Ouruhia, at the top end of 

Marshland Rd. I went to school 

there, then went to Shirley Boys’ 

High School and Canterbury 

University. I graduated with a 

Bachelor of Science in geography 

and geology. 

I know you are a life member 

of Surf Life Saving New 

Zealand, when did you become 

involved in that? 

I have been a member of the 

North Beach Surf Life Saving 

Club since 1968. In fact, I 

became a life member of North 

Beach in 2000, a life member of 

Canterbury in 2006 and New 

Zealand in 2011. In a couple 

of weeks time I am due to 

MAKING WAVES: David East and the beach have been constant companions over the 

years. 

receive a 50 year badge for my 

involvement in surf lifesaving in 

New Zealand. I tick over 50 years 

this year. 

What was your favourite 

thing about surf lifesaving when 

you were younger, were you a 

strong swimmer? 

Well, I was what I would call 

a very average competitor. I was 

always a reasonably strong swimmer. 

But my involvement actually 

gradually swung to the administration 

side of things. I held most 

positions on the committee at 

North Beach, I ended up being 

the club captain and president. 

I have been president of the 

Canterbury district and have had 

quite a long involvement nationally 

with a few committees. I’ve 

been judging at the national 

championships, I think this upcoming 

championships will be 

my 31st consecutive event that I 

have judged nationally. I’ve been 

to every surf lifesaving champs 

since 1974, bar one. I missed the 

1980 one when my daughter was 

born. 

What is your favourite thing 

about it, do you like being on 

the beach? 

I love the beach, I love the 

coastline. I’ve got so many 

friends and associates in the 

movement. Even going to a 

national championship, it’s 

as much catching up with old 

friends as it is doing the judging. 

Do you have any memorable 

stories from your time 

competing? 

Yes, several. But most couldn’t 

be printed. We had a lot of fun 

and there have been a few hi-jinx, 

but all good-natured. 

What led you to start surf 

lifesaving? 

I was 16 and my family and 

friends did it. My aunts and 

uncles and to a degree my father, 

were all members of the North 

Beach club previously. There is 

quite a significant family connection, 

going way back. My 

grandfather, aunts and uncles, 

my sons, daughter and I, and 

now my grandchildren, have an 

association with the club. 

What other things like this 

are you involved with other 

than surf lifesaving? 

For a long period I was 

involved with rugby when both 

my sons were playing, they 

played for the Shirley club. I 

coached junior rugby for quite 

a number of years, I was the 

junior club captain there and 

ended up being the chairman of 

the board at Shirley rugby and 

eventually president of the club. I 

still maintain a very keen interest 

in rugby for the club, provincial 

and national levels. I went to the 

Canterbury v Manawatu game 

just recently. 

What led you into local 

government? 

I think it’s ultimately 

something that my family 

have been involved with. My 

parents, Colin and June, were 

very community-minded. My 

father was on a number of 

boards around the country in 

a horticultural context. He was 

deeply involved in rotary, the 

local Federated Farmers and 

all sorts of things there. I am 

very grateful for the way I was 

raised by my parents. The sense 

of community involvement that 

was instilled in me and giving 

back was something that I have 

always carried on with and am 

eternally grateful to them for. 

Unfortunately, neither of them 

are here, but I am sure they 

would be totally supportive and 

proud of where I have got to. 

So was the reason you 

wanted to get involved in local 

politics because of the family 

connection? 

Yes, that and I ended up on 

the board of trustees at my 

children’s school and eventually 

became the chair of that. I 

have naturally taken interest 

in my community and what is 

happening in the area and have 

wanted to offer any help I can 

to see the local community 

flourish.

News 

Now 


lifelong passion for the east 

Is that what you believe is the 

best thing about local politics? 

Yes, I do get a lot of personal 

sort of satisfaction of seeing 

improvements in my local area. I 

have always sort of believed that 

if you have a vibrant community 

with a lot of facilities, it looks 

good, it feels good, people will be 

responsive in the way they look 

after the community and are 

proud of where they live. That’s 

the sort of philosophy I have tried 

to work with. 

Do you think there is a 

different sense of community in 

the Coastal Ward? 

Yes, I have never come across a 

community that is so connected 

and interested in what happens 

around them. The number 

of residents’ associations and 

community groups in my ward 

is phenomenal. Compared 

to some other parts of the 

city, we would have far more 

of these community groups. 

You only have to look at the 

reaction to some proposals for 

the eastern suburbs and the 

number of people who have 

signed petitions, submissions 

and things to council. In fact, 

I’d go as far to say in 2015, the 

volume of submissions received 

from this side of town was quite 

instrumental in council, in 

changing their mind on aspects 

of the Annual Plan that year. 

What are some less desirable 

aspects of local politics? 

I’d say the worst thing is the 

time and processes you have to 

go through. Council never moves 

very fast and while we can all see 

the benefits of a particular project, 

actually getting there is quite 

complex and time-consuming. 

People that have got into local 

affairs have been burnt-out 

because they haven’t been able 

to work their way through some 

of these processes. I have learnt 

my way around council a bit and 

have been able to promote things 

POWER BROKERS: David East speaking to fellow city councillors Anne Galloway and 

Jamie Gough at last week’s council meeting. 

and get things on a priority list. 

Whereas some people may get 

elected to a community board 

or council and think they are 

going to come in with a big stick 

and their ideas and notions will 

be acted fairly quickly, when in 

fact that is not the case. There is a 

process, the process is not great, 

but it is what it is and you just 

have to work your way through 

the system with some of these 

projects. As you are well aware 

sometimes you have to step out 

of the square, like I am doing at 

the moment, to progress things 

that are of immense concern to 

the community and are not being 

acted on quickly or fairly. 

What are some of the most 

challenging things you have 

faced in this role? 

I have always held the notion 

that New Brighton and the 

eastern suburbs have been an 

under-funded, under-appreciated 

asset for the city. It’s taken a long 

time to get some projects off the 

ground. I am eternally grateful 

that we now have a great playground 

in New Brighton and 

QE II has been rebuilt. Although 

we have ongoing work there, 

looking at whether the great 

facility is going to be big enough 

for the needs of this side of 

town. We are working very well 

through the consenting process 

for the hot pools which is a project 

first mooted way back in the 

1880s. 

You have not strayed away 

from things that may be 

controversial like the debate 

last year about donating 

director’s fees to charity, did you 

face much fall-out from that? 

I was pretty principle on 

that matter. In fact, I followed 

council’s directive to the letter 

of the law, the ruling was that 

anyone who had directorships 

that involved Christchurch City 

Holdings Ltd, the fees would be 

directed to the Mayor’s Welfare 

Fund. I was a director of Canterbury 

Development Corporation 

and my fees went to that fund. 

But, at the same time, I was a director 

of Transwaste Canterbury 

who was not a member CCHL. 

I felt I was quite entitled. While 

other councillors would argue 

no, but in an interpretation of 

council’s ruling of the matter, I 

kept the fees and I would be quite 

happy to publicly say that if you 

do that sort of work you should 

be remunerated for it. There 

are huge responsibilities being 

a director and I think that the 

position council takes is wrong, I 

would take the same stand again. 

In the long term, I would hope 

that the attitudes to this practice 

are better reflected in the future. 

Can you tell me something 

about the life of a city councillor 

that people might not know? 

It is quite a demanding sort of 

lifestyle and it can be easy as you 

want and as complex as you want. 

I choose to attend quite a number 

of local community events, local 

committees and things so 

that I hope I am up to the play 

with what is happening in my 

community. I don’t necessarily 

have to do that, I could be just 

attending council meetings and 

community board meetings and 

not a lot more. From a relationship 

sort of view I am out at night 

sometimes three to five nights 

a week, so that has an impact. I 

have to say, I exceedingly grateful 

that my partner Lynn is very supportive 

of what I do, even though 

at times it’s not the greatest thing 

in a normal relationship. 

Is Lynn involved in local 

government? 

She is involved in a number of 

community and social enterprise 

activities. She is very supportive 

and takes an interest in a number 

of community groups. 

Can you tell me about your 

children? 

I have a daughter and two sons. 

Well, I had four children. My second 

daughter died at eight weeks, 

a long time ago. My daughter is 

Sarah and sons Jamie and Bid. 

Do they want to get into local 

politics? 

No, not at this stage. They may 

do, certainly I am not encouraging 

them too, it’s something 

they need to assess and get into 

themselves, rather than me 

leading them towards it. My son 

Jamie was club captain at the 

surf club for a long time and in 

recent months, he has become 

the president. 

Grab your girlfriends, mum or daughters 

and come have a great day out!

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

Explaining the District Plan 

DECISIONS MADE by the 

Independent Hearings Panel in 

relation to the District Plan have 

been in the news again in the last 

week. 

It’s a complex beast to navigate. 

Even as a trained lawyer, it’s 

taken me a while to read and 

understand all of the relevant 

material. 

I have been looking into this 

issue since July when it first hit 

the media. 

There is no way to easily 

explain what the problem is. 

So this is as simplified as I can 

make it. 

The District Plan has several 

types of activity: permitted, 

controlled, restricted 

discretionary, non-complying 

and prohibited. 

Permitted activities don’t 

require a resource consent and 

prohibited activities are just 

that, prohibited. Everything else 

requires a resource consent. 

This issue is all about which 

type of activity applies to 

a proposed building of or 

extension to a residential 

unit in a High Flood Hazard 

Management Area, where that 

hazard is associated with sea 

level rise. 

City council evidence to 

the Independent Hearings 

Panel was that it should be 

“non-complying”; the Panel 

decided it should be “restricted 

discretionary.” 

Sitting over the top of these 

rules, is a policy that gives us 

some high level guidance for the 

overall treatment of activities in 

all areas where there is a high 

flood hazard. 

The “restricted discretionary” 

rule was written into decision 53. 

However there was no change 

made to the policy and without 

a matching change to the policy, 

it becomes arguable whether the 

District Plan gives full effect to 

what the Independent Hearings 

Panel decided. 

Changing the District Plan 

under the current arrangements 

is not easy, but that is what I am 

determined to do. 

Even if we insert the “missing” 

policy, people will still have to 

apply for a resource consent, but 

at least the policy framework for 

granting a consent will be clear. 

In the meantime, our 

consenting staff are working 

hard to help people navigate 

their way through this complex 

process. 

It is possible to get a resource 

consent to build in these areas; 

I’m advised that 31 have been 

granted for residential dwellings 

since November 2016.

Alex Brown’s emotional and thought-provoking 

story can be watched on www.star.kiwi 

Alex Brown was 14 

when he survived 

a horrific crash on 

Boxing Day 2016. 

Three other teenagers 

in the car died. The 

video of Alex sharing 

his story for the first 

time received a huge

than 160,000 views 

as of yesterday, 2200

Shanan Hull - XOX . . . 

missing my son with every 

thought. 

Melissa Little - Big hugs to 

you, young man. I am so proud 

of you putting this out there. 

You’re helping so many and 

I for one will be sharing and 

tagging my kids, as I never want 

to have to go through what you 

and your family and friends are 

going through. 

You’re a good kid and glad you 

are putting this out there. To the 

other families, I am truly sorry 

for your loss of your children. 

Alex, you are using this for 

good and to help others. Very 

proud of you. 

Pip Sladen - Thank you Alex 

for being brave enough to share 

your story for other young teens 

to hopefully listen and think first. 

You are a brave young man 

and you will achieve great things 

AT HOME: Leeston crash survivor Alex Brown, 16, with Bruno and Ruby. 

because of this experience. 

By speaking out with your 

story and if only one young teen 

listens and says no ‘we shouldn’t 

be doing this’ then you have done 

a good job. 

My thoughts are with all those 

who were affected that night. 

Lynette Windle - Theresa 

and Alex you are so brave to 

share your experience. Anyone 

can make a bad decision on the 

spur of the moment, but on this 

occasion there were no second 

chances. It takes courage to talk 

with others in your peer group 

on such a sensitive topic. Well 

done to son and mum. I hope 

your message spreads. 

Samantha Weller - Alex, 

you’re a credit to your parents. 

To own your mistakes that night 

and speak out shows maturity far 

beyond your years. 

Well done for choosing the 

right path. 

Elizabeth Wells - Well 

done for telling your tragic event. 

It must take a lot of courage to 

speak up. All teens should read 

this. I wish you all the best for 

a safe and empowering future. 

Everyone can make mistakes. My 

heart goes out to all the families 

and friends affected. Having 

teens myself I can understand 

how sad this is and how easy it 

is to be in the wrong place at the 

wrong time. Take care Alex. 

Jodie Cane - Miss you so 

much Sam, but well done Alex. 

That’s very respectful. Keep your 

head high. 

We all make mistakes just 

some bigger then others. Keep 

moving forward. 

Rosemary Dennis - I used 

to live in Southbridge many years 

ago and thought of a car full 

of teenagers who similarly lost 

their lives in a car crash on an icy 

road coming home from a party. 

Charles Mercer was 21 when he 

died in that crash. Others died 

too. So, so sad. Please, young 

people, be careful driving on our 

country roads. 

Alex Brown, you are a man 

with a good head on your shoulders. 

Thanks for sharing. 

Lynn Jarvis - Thank you 

Alex and Theresa for sharing this 

story. A reality check for so many 

teenagers that do the same thing 

every weekend, it has been that 

way for years. 

Not bad kids, just that night 

things went terribly wrong. 

Kia Kaha, Alex. 

Anita Stewart - Thanks 

for sharing this touching and 

very heartbreaking account of 

the tragic events that took place 

that night. We know Lily’s family 

and our hearts are torn for them 

as they continue to grieve their 

super star daughter who had the 

biggest smile and cheerfulness 

of any girl I’ve known. She lit up 

a room and had so much confidence, 

respect and willingness to 

do anything and everything and 

we never saw her sit still. 

She is dearly missed and we 

still notice her absence when 

visiting the family home. It’s just 

so heartbreaking. 

I’ll never forget the moment we 

found out about the accident. 

Boxing Day morning, still in 

my pyjamas, quietly reminiscing 

about Christmas Day. 

I really hate hearing that more 

teens/people are not getting the 

message after articles like this are 

put out there so clearly. 

Please pay attention. You 

definitely have an idea of what 

could happen so quickly, so don’t 

ignore the warnings. You’re not 

invincible. Please don’t leave your 

loved ones nursing their broken 

hearts for a decision that could 

end your life too soon. 

Rest easy Lily, Cole and Sam. 

Sara Beaumont - Thanks 

for sharing your story Alex and 

Theresa. 

It’s heart breaking to watch. I 

think a lot of kids in Canterbury 

were hit hard with this tragedy 

and it made us all check in with 

our teenagers. 

Their lives are so precious and 

fragile. Keeping us informed of 

their whereabouts is a big golden 

rule and all we can do is hope 

that they make the best choices 

and decisions with their friends. 

All we want is to know they’re 

all safe. They did not die in vain, 

there was a lot that we all learned 

from this.

Opinion 

Caren Constable - Thank 

you Alex and Theresa for sharing 

your story . . . so devastatingly 

sad. I’m so sorry for your loss and 

experiences. 

By sharing this you will have 

such an enormous impact on all 

of our teenagers and us as parents 

too. Take care. 

Heidi Hawke - Thank you 

Alex for being so honest and 

telling your story. Life is full of 

mistakes and regrets but if we 

learn from them it is not wasted. 

You survived when Cole Sam 

and Lily didn’t. Stand, talk, make 

something of your life and they 

will forever be standing by your 

side, when you fall they will be 

there to help lift you up. 

You are an incredibly strong 

young man to go through this 

and with the help and love of 

your family and friends you will 

get stronger each day. 

I wish you the very best. 

Elaine Dunlop - I have just 

watched this with tears in my 

eyes. You are brave to share your 

story and I say thank you. Stay 

strong, grow, learn but never 

forget your friend. As you get 

older you will be a role model 

to someone else who may make 

a decision similar that causes 

heartache and sadness. I learnt 

to drive around there at the age 

of 14, many years ago now, so I 

know how straight those roads 

are. Hugs to your family for their 

support and strength though 

your life. 

Leeann Findlay - Boys need 

their mums and dads through 

the tunnel to manhood more 

than anytime in their lives. Don’t 

let them go so easily. A very powerful 

documentary and thank 

you for your courage. 

Jo Mattingly - Brave young 

man who, with others, just made 

a mistake (we’ve all done that). 

Unfortunately, for these kids this 

time it had huge consequences. 

Go strong Alex, stay 

brave. Thoughts with all five 

families. 

Helen Johnston - Thank 

you Alex for sharing your journey. 

I am sure it means a lot to 

the family of your friends who 

weren’t so lucky. 

The other three will be proud 

of you and what a wonderful 

mum you have. 

Sylvia Carlaw - The mother 

of this young man, Alex, should 

be very proud. Teenagers do

make choices – some good, some 

bad. But we are human. We also 

learn by our mistakes. Unfortunately, 

some have more dire 

consequences. 

Jo Kirrane - What a brave 

young man you are, Alex, to 

share your story in the hope it 

will make other young people 

think before they make bad 

choices. Your family must be so 

proud of you and I’m sure your 

friends would be too. 

Meredith Noonan - Thanks 

for sharing your moving story, 

Alex. You have an opportunity 

to make good choices now. You 

sound like someone who has a 

good head on your shoulders and 

loving support from your mum. 

Teresa Barnes - Thank you 

Alex and Theresa for sharing 

your story. So sad, but hopefully 

your message reaches others to 

make good choices. 

Helen Fraser - Alex, you 

are incredibly brave doing this. 

My thoughts go to the families 

that lost, but not forgetting what 

you and yours have had to go 

through. Stay strong and keep 

sending the message. 

Barbara Stansbury - 

Thank you very much for the 

amazing story. Hold your head 

high and keep moving forward 

with your close bond to family 

and friends. Nobody is perfect, 

we can all make bad choices. 

Alana Mulvena - Alex, what 

a brave and admirable young 

man you are. Thank you for 

having the courage to share your 

story. Please continue to speak 

up for yourself, for your friends 

who are sadly not able to for 

themselves and for every other 

person who see this message and 

takes something away from it.

Supreme Award 

Totalspan North Canterbury 

The judges were impressed with the way Ellen and Jamie Petersen had 

developed an excellent, customer-focused business plan to achieve their 

customer service goals, exceed their business results and dramatically 

increase their market share, while developing a great team culture. 

The Woodend-based business offers everything from a farm shed, garage 

or sleepout to a picturesque “barnhouse” for a lifestyle block. All are built 

with high-grade New Zealand-made parts and finished in Coloursteel in a 

variety of attractive colours. 

The company still produces all its materials at a factory in Christchurch 

so a close eye can be kept on quality, with buildings highly customisable, 

making them easy to add to if an expansion is required. 

Jamie and Ellen have owned the North Canterbury franchise since January 

2014 and have more than 14 years experience in building Totalspan steel 

buildings in North Canterbury, the South Island and Queensland.

Medbury Farm Limited 

Medbury Farm Ltd, an equity partnership, milking 1240 cows on 442 hectares

attitude, ability to learn, passion and respect. Its great governance from its four 

partners - Dave and Brenda Hislop, Mark Daly and Janet Girvan - had made a 

difference to the environment along with strong awareness of farming practices. 

An excellent business plan, a passion to improve the image of dairy farming, 

outstanding documentation, health and safety programme, Farm Environment 

Plan and the five-year Environmental Action Plan are the platform it success is 

built on. 

Medbury Farm Ltd leads environmentally with planting of waterways and other 

areas which have a positive impact on the environment, staff and stock. Staff

their families.

Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust is a critical part of the 

North Canterbury social fabric, the judges said. It is a well run, reliable, 

long standing and significant leader, which in the aftermath of the 

2016 Kaikoura earthquake assisted with the many social impacts the 

devastation had wrought. The Trust supports families from all walks of 

life to reach their potential through its free wellbeing services offered 

across the Waimakariri and Hurunui districts. It says families sometimes 

face catastrophic ongoing challenges like poverty, lack of housing and 

despair, with the Trust providing free local access to services, without 

the need for an expensive trip to the city for help. The trust’s services 

include youth workers, counselling, in-home social work support, drug 

and alcohol services, a foodbank, restorative justice and early childhood 

education. It relies on donations to deliver services and in October will be 

launching a fundraising campaign to help strengthen the organisation.

North Canterbury 

Business 

Awards 

2018 

Every business is very deserving 

of the accolades they took 

home and they truly reflect the 

purpose of the Business Awards: 

to celebrate exceptional North 

Canterbury Businesses. 

A celebration of exceptional North 

Canterbury businesses was held at a 

glitzy gala dinner and ceremony in Ohoka 

last Friday evening. 

The 2018 North Canterbury Business 

Awards attracted the largest number of 

entries to date, with 95 entries reduced 

to 60 for the awards evening, an event 

which is held every two years. 

In 2016 there were 70 entries. 

Business Awards organiser Miles Dalton 

of Enterprise North Canterbury says the 

2018 Awards were a huge success. 

“The calibre of businesses in the North 

Canterbury region is incredibly high, 

making our judges’ job very difficult.” 

“Every business is very deserving of 

the accolades they took home and they 

truly reflect the purpose of the Business 

Awards: to celebrate exceptional North 

Canterbury Businesses.” 

Woodend-based business, Totalspan 

North Canterbury, carried off the 

MainPower Supreme Award. 

The award winning business builds a 

range of hardwearing, affordable and 

versatile structures, characterised by 

functionality that franchise winners 

Jamie and Ellen Petersen have worked 

hard to reflect in their services. 

James and Ellen have owned the 

franchise since January 2014, with 

its strengths built on strong values, a 

team culture and health and safety. 

The North Canterbury News People’s 

Choice winner went to Stirling Sports 

Rangiora, a business that opened its 

doors on High Street 18 months ago, 

bringing top sports brands to North 

Canterbury. 

However, its strength isn’t just its stock. 

Customers keep coming back for the 

service and technical advice offered by 

owners Brad and Alice Mackenzie and 

their team.

anger through local newspapers 

Western News and Nor’West 

News. 

“We’ve asked staff to go away 

and basically bring us a report 

and say what our options are with 

regard to a [heavy vehicle] ban in 

the area,” Mr MacDonald said. 

Staff will investigate options 

for a heavy vehicle ban 

on Roydvale Ave (between 

Avonhead Rd and Memorial 

Ave), Avonhead Rd (between 

Roydvale Ave and Russley Rd) 

and Hawthornden Rd. 

“We just want them to be very 

clear, with the current rules in 

place, what delegations the community 

board has [to ban heavy 

vehicles] and what evidence they 

would require to do that,” Mr 

MacDonald said. 

But he steered clear of committing 

to seek a heavy vehicle 

ban in Avonhead. 

“Until we get advice [from 

staff], it wouldn’t be appropriate 

to comment,” Mr MacDonald 

said. 

Hawthornden Rd resident Jon 

Leadbeater said the community 

board’s request was good news. 

“People in the area would welcome 

that. It could be a big step 

to improve safety. 

“The big wagon trucks, they 

are the things that are concerning 

to the residents.” 

He hoped increased publicity 

will get heavy traffic banned in 

the area. 

“I feel the publicity can make 

the difference. [A ban] would 

be a great outcome for everyone 

concerned,” he said. 

Mr Leadbeater said last week 

that heavy vehicles are using 

Roydvale Ave, Hawthornden Rd 

and Cutts Rd as a shortcut. 

He said heavy traffic increased 

after the Avonhead and Russley 

Rd intersection was closed in 

November 2015, as part of NZ 

UNSAFE: 

Hawthornden 

Rd resident Jon 

Leadbeater has 

welcomed the 

Fendalton- 

Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Board’s request 

to see if a heavy 

vehicle ban is 

viable in Avonhead. 

Transport Agency’s $112 million 

Russley Rd upgrade. 

It follows on from residents 

in Fendalton and Wigram also 

voicing opposition to heavy 

vehicles travelling through residential 

areas. 

Fendalton residents last 

month lost their bid to ban 

heavy vehicles from the Glandovey 

and Idris Rd intersection. 

Lady Wigram Retirement Village 

residents on Lodestar Ave 

complained about heavy traffic 

last year.

Chlorine-free 

north-west 

one step closer 


SUBURBS IN the north-west are 

closer to being chlorine-free as 

the construction of a new pump 

station finishes. 

The new Gardiners pump 

station has been constructed in 

Harewood Park, replacing the old 

Harewood pump station. 

City council planning and delivery 

manager John Moore said 

the project cost $6.05 million including 

investigation, design, construction, 

project management, 

construction and commissioning 

of the pump station, suction tank, 

diesel tank, two deep wells, access 

road and drainage. 

“The pump station was built to 

replace Harewood pump station, 

which had a shallow well, and 

also to provide additional supply 

capacity for growth in the northwest 

area, particularly in Highsted 

and Upper Styx,” he said. 

Work at the Burnside station 

would also start next week to convert 

the below ground well head 

to an above ground well head. 

The city council stopped chlorinating 

the Thompsons water 

pump station in late August, 

bringing the total number of 

pump stations across the city not 

being chlorinated to nine.

QUESTION 

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

I’ve been told that root vegetables like to be planted in the sun or need more sun than 

leafy vegetables. Which can tolerate more shade, and do I plant North South or East 

West rows? My raised gardens only get the sun from about 10am to 2pm because of a 

fence on one side and a house on the other. 

Today’s winning question came from Judi Johnson. Congratulations! 

Growing your own veggies means you have fresh, seasonal produce at 

your fi ngertips, and it just tastes better! Well prepared and nutrient rich 

soil is critical to a successful veggie garden. 

We have a Daltons Veggie Garden Planting and Care Pack to 

giveaway with everything you need for a thriving veggie garden. 

Each pack is valued at over $70 and contains: 

• 2 x Garden Time Vegetable Mix 

• Daltons Goldcote Vegetable and Herb Fertiliser 

• Besgrow Coir Mulch 

• Garden Time Chicken and Sheep Pellets 

• PLUS a pair of comfortable, 

versatile Red Back gardening 

gloves from Omni Products 

(www.omniproducts.co.nz) 

$70 

PRIZE 

PACK! 

BE IN 

TO WIN! 

All vegetables require a sunny position and root vegetables are no exception. Plant in 

ANSWER rows with a North South axis to ensure maximum exposure to the sun. It is quite common 

for some vegetable gardens to be in shade during the winter months but then receive full 

sun during summer. If this is the situation in your case, perhaps consider not having a 

winter veggie garden in this particular site. Could you could find an alternative position on your property that 

receives full winter sun? You could also try planting into large pots and/or containers and positioning them in 

a full sun position. Just make sure you use a good quality mix to ensure the best results. Try Daltons Garden 

Time Potting Mix for containers, or try Daltons Garden Time Vegetable Mix for the garden.

Simple design is best 

SIMPLE, uncluttered 

garden design is especially 

appropriate when space is 

limited. 

Whether you want a 

serene look or something 

dramatic, you can achieve 

it by mass planting just a 

few carefully chosen plant 

species, each with strong 

features. 

Flowers are not essential 

(year round good looks and 

healthy foliage are more 

important), but as seasonal 

highlights they can make 

the garden all the more 

interesting. 

Mass planting by itself 

can be dull. Break up the 

monotony by choosing an 

accent plant that can be 

repeated throughout the 

design. Planting in pots 

adds extra zing and makes 

it easy to change or relocate 

your accent plants when 

you feel like a new look, or 

a change between seasons. 

As well as accents, every 

garden needs a strong focal 

point. Often a sculpture, 

this could also be a piece of 

furniture or garden architecture, 

a water feature, or 

just one stunning plant in a 

spectacular pot. 

Container gardening is a 

great way to enjoy getting 

your hands dirty. The trend 

is towards simplicity – bigger 

pots and less of them. 

Classy containers deserve 

classy plants, and those 

that last the distance. For 

pots in prime positions 

choose plants with a strong 

well-defined shape, preferably 

symmetrical so that 

they look good from all 

angles. 

When we plant whole 

groups of a few carefully 

chosen varieties, the effect 

is bold and deliberate, 

bringing strength and 

character to the garden.

Mazda keeps CX-5 

fresh with facelift 

MAZDA NEW Zealand 

is well pleased with the 

performance of its sport 

utility vehicle range. 

So much so, that a new 

model has just recently 

joined the line-up – the 

CX-8. In total Mazda has 

four sport utility vehicles in 

varying sizes, but the most 

popular by far and consistently 

topping the sales 

charts in medium SUV 

market is the CX-5. The 

CX-5 has been around for 

since 2012, and early last 

year it underwent a huge 

life cycle change, reinforcing 

its desire and not relinquishing 

its command in 

the market. 

That’s no surprise to me, 

if you take any car out of 

the Mazda stable today 

you’ll find a quality car, 

and one which is pleasing 

in almost every respect. 

Mazda hasn’t rested on 

its laurels with CX-5, just 

a short time after the latest 

generation model was 

released, the SUV has had 

a bit of a makeover, there’s 

a realignment of specification, 

and an increase in 

specification for safety. 

There’s also an engine 

upgrade across all driveline 

variations – 2-litre petrol, 

2.5-litre petrol and 2.2- 

litre diesel. Economy has 

been improved, emissions 

lowered further and refinement 

further increased. 

The latter is important, 

for the CX-5 has become 

a vehicle which thrills 

with its sophistication, it is 

smooth, quiet and amazingly 

civilised for what 

would be deemed a mainstream 

car. 

Mazda offers the CX-5 

in six variants ranging 

from $39,995 for the entrylevel 

2-litre, and ending 

at $57,995 for the rangetopping 

Limited diesel. 

Incidentally, Mazda’s prices 

include on-road costs and a 

three-year/100,000km free 

servicing programme. 

The evaluation car was 

the range-topper, albeit 

with the 2.5-litre petrol 

engine. Column space 

doesn’t allow comprehensive 

detailing of the engine’s 

combustion changes, but I 

can report the new unit is 

a work of art, it is strong, 

responsive, and delivers 

without vibration nor 

harshness. 

With outputs of 140kW 

and 252Nm, the 2488cc 

four-potter also has power 

and torque which will 

satisfy under most conditions. 

The CX-5 is quick 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

MAZDA CX-5: Major makeover for 2019. 

for an SUV, it will scamper 

to 100km/h from a standstill 

in around 9sec and 

will make an overtaking 

manoeuvre in 5sec. Drive 

is channelled to all four 

wheels through a conventional 

six-speed automatic 

transmission. 

• Price – Mazda CX-5 

Ltd, $55,745 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4550mm; 

width, 1840mm; 

height, 1675mm 

• Configuration 

– Four-cylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2488cc, 140kW, 

252Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.4l/100km 

The latter has also had 

some technical changes 

so that it works more in 

harmony with the engine, 

the result is a fluid and 

balanced change of ratios, 

bearing in mind, too, that 

the driver can enhance 

engine urgency through 

a console-mounted sport 

mode. 

Personally, I used the 

standard normal mode 

for most of my evaluation 

at city speeds, it works 

intuitively and doesn’t load 

the engine greatly, further 

enhancing that economy 

equation. Of course, if 

you like the speed of sport 

mode the CX-5 takes on 

a lively personality that is 

useful on the long highway 

trek, overtaking for example, 

or if the driver feels 

like a bit a push through 

the tight and twisties. 

I had a Trade Me item 

to deliver to an address in 

Rangiora, so on return to 

my home in the city I used 

the roads from Loburn 

to Oxford, crossing the 

Waimakariri Gorge bridge 

to the Old West Coast Rd. 

While the vast majority of 

this route is straight, there 

are some tricky corners 

and it was nice to feel the 

CX-5’s clingy road manners. 

At almost 1.7m tall the 

CX-5 could be excused for 

being a little unbalanced 

in a corner, but that’s not 

the case, with sensible 

spring and damper rates 

and a sophisticated fully 

independent suspension 

set-up there is controlled 

body movement and 

decisive suspension 

absorption. 

To be fair, the CX-5, 

and all others of its ilk, are 

not serious off-road vehicles. 

The CX-5 is a handy 

wagon that will take you 

cross-country in style, and 

it is useful when the seal 

runs out. 

However, the CX-5’s 

four-wheel-drive system 

is more for the benefit in 

low-grip situations, and 

on my journey I had to 

make a detour through 

a long gravel section, the 

test car felt well attached 

to the road and comfortable 

when pushed on the 

greasy surface. That being 

the case, I have no hesitation 

in saying that it is a car 

which will suit the ski-field 

access road, and I’m sure 

many owners use it for that 

purpose. 

On that subject, the 

CX-5’s popularity doesn’t 

stop with just new car 

buyers, the range commands 

good coin in the 

pre-owned market, which 

is testament to the quality 

of product and the way 

buyers view Mazda vehicles 

in total. 

That’s something Mazda 

has been working hard at 

since the end of the global 

financial crisis. A vigorous 

research and development 

process followed and today 

Mazda is sitting well in the 

world of car manufacturing, 

all of its product is 

desirable.

Sport 

Old Colls Tony just one of the boys 

• By Jacob Page 

TONY CAMPBELL will be the 

Old Boys Collegians Cricket 

Club’s scorer for life. 

The 60-year-old has been more 

prolific with pencil and paper 

than bat and ball over his 45 

years at the club but his contribution 

has been so immense he was 

made a life member last week. 

Campbell is the club’s official 

scorer, and since first starting the 

role in 1973, his passion for the 

club has been unwavering. 

“I’m absolutely over the moon,” 

Campbell said. 

“It’s something very special for 

me.” 

He started scoring because 

his family played social sport on 

Saturdays and he had to find his 

sport of choice. 

Campbell’s life changed in 1978 

when he was hit by a car while 

cycling home and received a head 

injury. 

He still has vivid memories 

of waking up in hospital several 

days later. 

“When I came too in the hospital 

the first thing I started talking 

about was Richard Hadlee.” 

Campbell was presented with 

his life member’s tie by club 

president Paul Knight, who said 

Campbell’s service to the club 

ran much deeper than just keeping 

score. 

“Everybody has a lot of time 

for Tony at the club, obviously 

he deals with some health issues 

and we just try to be there for 

him, like he’s there for us on a 

Saturday. 

Knight said he has a special 

place within the premier squad 

and is treated as one of the boys. 

“The players will pick him up 

and take him to a game or help 

him with his groceries, whatever 

he needs,” Knight said. 

Player Ryan Astle said Campbell 

was always part of the fun. 

“We did something for his 60th 

last year and got him a framed 

club shirt and made sure he had a 

good night. 

“We even took him with us to 

club nationals two seasons ago so 

he could experience that,” Astle 

said. 

Old Boys Collegians won all 

the Christchurch premier competitions 

that season and Campbell 

made sure he shared a drink with 

each piece of silverware. 

Campbell said he hoped the 

team could rediscover that form 

when the season gets under way 

next month. 

BIG BASH: Old Boys Collegians’ newest life member, Tony Campbell and premier player 

Ryan Astle are ready for the new season. 

Rugby priorities are out of whack 

WHEN DO we admit the 

continued expansion of Super 

Rugby is proving detrimental to 

the sport as a whole? 

As Kiwis, we normally pride 

ourselves on being forward 

thinkers. 

However, on this occasion we 

need to thank our transtasman 

friends for speaking some harsh 

but much needed words. 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

Recently retired Waratahs 

prop Paddy Ryan wrote a column 

on SportsMate expressing 

that he had the wool removed 

from over his eyes in regards to 

the disconnection between the 

professional and amateur game 

in Australia. 

I can’t help but feel the same 

has been happening for too long 

and has been swept under the 

rug on our own shores. 

Earlier this month Ryan competed 

in the Shute Field final of 

New South Wales’ premier grade 

club tournament. 

The match was attended by 

16,000 fans – more than 12,000 

who attended the Waratahs 

Super Rugby quarter-final 

against the Highlanders. 

We can surely relate to Ryan’s 

feelings when it comes to a lack 

of interest in the state of Super 

Rugby – just look as far as crowd 

numbers for any match here 

outside New Zealand conference 

games. 

You could be forgiven for 

thinking New Zealand Rugby, 

the Canterbury Rugby Union 

and other mainstream media 

are doing all they can to kill 

off the game at a club level 

and go for the cash grab at the 

professional level, even though 

all the evidence is pointing to 

fans turning away from a broken 

Super Rugby competition. 

I can assure you there isn’t 

anything much better than 

enjoying Saturday afternoon 

premier club rugby on a sunny 

winter day. The brand of rugby 

isn’t something to be taken for 

granted, but we’re not doing 

enough to promote the game 

at club level – particularly the 

strong culture and family buzz 

that it has. 

Interest in school boy rugby 

has risen in recent times 

undoubtedly because games at 

that level are being broadcast. 

We need to be doing the 

same at club level and not a 

one camera job reduced to 

highlights. 

As always where does the 

money come from? 

Exit Super Rugby when the 

current broadcast deal ends after 

the 2020 season and reduce it to 

a transtasman competition. 

I’m sure the money saved on 

business class flights to South 

Africa every year can help 

promote the game at club level.

DARFIELD RUGBY Club 

president Scott McIlroy has 

congratulated Southbridge on 

being named the host of the 

Crusaders v Highlanders Super 

Rugby pre-season game next 

year. 

Darfield hosted last year’s 

Farmlands Cup fixture and 

drew a crowd of 5500, including 

then-Prime Minister Bill 

English 

But the Canterbury Rugby 

Football Union’s insistence a 

spectator mound be constructed 

appears to have been Darfield’s 

undoing. 

McIlroy said in May, 

constructing a mound on the 

ground is not viable due to 

summer sport use. 

Southbridge, the home of All 

Blacks great Dan Carter, will 

host the game next year and 

while a date has not been confirmed, 

it will be prior to round 

one on February 15. 

“We knew several months 

ago the game wasn’t going to be 

coming back,” McIlroy said. 

“It is a shame because the 

club worked really hard to try to 

make sure we had the event for 

at least a couple of years but it’s 

just one of those things.” 

“We wish Southbridge all the 

best in hosting it and it is at least 

local 

rugby 

Darfield gracious over Super Rugby loss 

a positive that the game will 

remain in the Ellesmere region.” 

“At the end of the day the 

facilities that we have are what 

we have and trying to make one 

game a year work to please the 

Canterbury Rugby Union probably 

isn’t in our best interests.” 

“We’ll keep working hard to 

make sure our facilities are good 

for our members,” said McIlroy. 

Southbridge president Hamish 

Gilbert said he was delighted his 

Proudly 

brought to 

you by 

Tower JuncTion 

club would host the game. 

“It is fantastic to see the 

Crusaders bringing their preseason 

game out into the rural 

community, especially to a 

part of Canterbury that has a 

very long and proud history of 

rugby,” he said. 

“We look forward to hosting 

this prestigious event and being 

able to showcase our fabulous 

facilities to the wider rugby 

community.” 

HARD YARDS: The Canterbury Bulls will rely on their forwards like Alex Todd to win the 

battle up-front against Counties on Sunday.

Forwards must muscle-up 


CANTERBURY BULLS rugby 

league coach Andrew Auimatagi 

believes if his forwards 

muscle-up they could 

win their first national 

premiership in four 

years. 

The campaign begins 

on Sunday against 

Counties at Auckland’s 

Mt Smart Stadium. 

With just three games 

in the campaign a first-up 

loss would dent their title 

hopes. 

The Bulls finished third last 

year, one spot out of the final. 

“I’ve seen a bit of the Counties 

boys and we know they’re going 

to have a big forward pack so 

winning the battle in the middle 

third of the ground.” 

Andrew 

Auimatagi 

recently 

redeveloped - 

Come in & enjoy! 

Auimatagi said while he had 

in-form attacking options, his 

experienced forwards including 

captain James Baxendale, Alex 

Todd, former St George 

Illawarra Dragon 

Rulon Nutira and 

Jiordan Fidow-Kele 

will have to set a good 

platform. 

“All those guys have 

had a lot of success in 

our game and I know 

they are capable of 

winning that battle up the 

middle,” Auimatagi said. 

“A lot of our key 

players were in form near the 

end of the club season and we 

felt naming a squad early gave 

us the best chance to try to get 

combinations settled for a fastpaced 

competition.” 

He said the halves duo of Brad 

great beer 

Campbell and Toi Sepuloni 

would be one to watch. 

Aumatagi said having two 

home games was another bonus. 

The Bulls have back-to-back 

home games at Christchurch 

Stadium in rounds two and 

three against Waikato and 

Akarana on September 22 and 

29, respectively, meaning a win 

on Sunday will go a long way to 

putting them into contention for 

the final on October 6.

big club day 

CANTERBURY Rugby will 

celebrate club day during the 

Mitre 10 Cup on Sunday. 

Clubs from across the region 

are attending Canterbury’s 

match against Auckland at 

Christchurch Stadium. 

The Canterbury team will also 

be wearing their club socks for 

the game in recognition of the 12 

clubs represented by this year’s 

squad. 

Canterbury head coach Joe 

Maddock said the team is looking 

forward to acknowledging 

grassroots rugby. 

“Club rugby in Canterbury is 

strong and we really encourage 

the team to nurture their club 

rugby connections and where 

they’ve come from,” said 

Maddock. 

“Club day provides our team 

with the opportunity to acknowledge 

the various clubs they 

represent, but it also allows us to 

connect with the next generation 

of rugby players coming through, 

and involves them in what is going 

to be a great occasion on Sunday 

afternoon.”In recognition 

of club day, match day partner 

and Canterbury Rugby Football

Gunn 

battles 

to beat 

nerves 

• By Gordon Findlater 

JOB NUMBER one for new 

Canterbury United Pride coach 

Alana Gunn will be battling nerves 

ahead of her first competitive match 

in charge of the National Women’s 

League team on Sunday. 

The Pride kick off their season 

at English Park in a new look 

competition format with Gunn at 

the helm for the first time. 

The former Coastal Spirit coach 

has previously been involved as 

an assistant with the Canterbury 

women’s team under Gareth 

Turnbull. 

However, she does admit some 

extra nerves will be at play leading 

into their opening match against 

Capital. 

“I’m more nervous as a coach than 

I ever was as a player,” said Gunn. 

She has become accustomed to 

dealing with nerves after coaching 

Coastal to success in the 2013 

National Women’s Knockout Cup 

final. 

“I was a mess. I’m alright once the 

game starts but leading up to it, I’m 

a mess . . . I’m a lot better now but 

I’ll definitely be nervous.” 

Beaten finalist in 2016, the Pride 

will come into the seven team competition 

with high hopes. 

Gunn believes Auckland and 

Northern Football are the two 

teams to beat on paper this season 

with both sporting a number of age 

group and fringe Football Ferns. 

However, she said Canterbury 

take pride in one area that she hopes 

will reap the same kind of rewards 

which has seen them win three of 

the past five national league titles. 

“As a region we do lead the way in 

terms of organisation. We started 

well before anyone else . . . the girls 

take it very seriously so nothing but 

a place in the final will be the expectation 

of our squad,” said Gunn. 

Starting early means the Pride 

began training as a wider squad in 

March. 

The side has lost four players who 

were key to their success last year. 

Defender Meikayla Moore and 

striker Aimee Phillips are both playing 

professionally in Europe while 

young defender Emma Clarke is 

playing college football at the University 

of Houston College in the 

United States. Meanwhile, striker 

Britney-Lee Nicholson has moved 

south to attend Otago University 

and will play for Southern United. 

This year’s league has also been 

extended to two rounds before the 

play-offs for the first time in its history. 

Sunday’s round one match against 

Capital kicks off at 1pm at English 

Park. 

Christ’s rugby rise continues 


The selection of four players 

in the New Zealand Schools 

development camp is the latest 

sign of the rapid return to form 

for the Christ’s College’s rugby 

programme. 

Hooker Arthur Allen, Sam 

Darry (lock), Patrick Thacker 

(prop) and Zack Gallagher 

(lock) have all been named in 

the squad. 

Only Auckland’s St Kentigern 

College has more players 

selected. 

Allen, 18, learnt on Tuesday 

morning that his front row 

partner Thacker had received 

a phone call to notify him of 

selection in the team, leading to 

a nervous wait for the hooker. 

“I heard Paddy [Thacker] got 

the call earlier so I was on the 

edge of my seat all day at class 

checking my phone,” said Allen. 

The hooker has made leaps in 

bounds in the past 12 months 

to make the squad, which has 

been an objective since making 

a commitment to improve his 

size. 

As a 16-year-old in year 11 

Allen weighed just 70kg. 

A strong nutrition and 

training plan has seen him get to 

95kg, coinciding with his rapid 

rise into the first XV. 

“It’s just eating the right food 

and training the right way. 

Heaps of heavy food and no 

sugar,” said Allen. 


THE CANTERBURY Cavaliers 

face a unique challenge in their 

bid to win their first National 

Hockey League men’s title since 

2005. 

The Cavaliers’ squad of 18 

haven’t had an ideal build up 

to the NHL with five of their 

players now based in Auckland 

due to relocating to make the 

Black Sticks. 

However, that didn’t seem to 

have an adverse effect when they 

began their campaign with a 

5-1 win on Sunday against the 

Southern Dogs in Dunedin. 

Auckland-based Sam Lane, 

Dominic Newman, George 

Enersen, David Bryson and 

Jason Niles have all been 

sporadically involved with 

Cavaliers trainings leading into 

this year’s NHL. 

“It is pretty difficult for the 

team. I’ve been pretty lucky I’ve 

been able to come back because 

I’m on a two week break from 

university, but I know at some 

trainings they’ve only had eight 

or nine guys,” said Newman. 

Black Sticks striker Sam Lane 

is one player effected heavily by 

CALL UP: Zack Gallagher, Patrick Thacker, Sam Darry and Arthur Allen have been selected in 

the New Zealand Schools rugby development camp. 

He admitted having to give up 

his beloved pineapple lumps. 

Eight players from Canterbury 

have been selected for the New 

Zealand Schools development 

camp – more than 2017 and 

2016 combined. 

Christchurch Boys’ High 

School’s Louie Chapman, Max 

Hughes and Tahu Kaa have been 

Auckland commitments, having 

only trained with the Cavaliers 

on four occasions coming into 

the season. 

“It’s a bit niggly in that regard, 

but we fit in as nice add-ons,” 

said Lane. 

The squad has also acquired 

selected. Rangiora High School 

has also had a player named in 

the squad for the first time in its 

history in the form of flanker 

George Prain.

Chapman and Thacker will be 

top candidates to make the New

Darry will also have a good 

chance of securing a spot in the 

locks. 

Challenge ahead for Cavaliers 

The preparation for the 

NHL won’t be affecting their 

expectations. 

After finishing runners up 

in 2016 the team finished a 

disappointing seventh last year. 

“Last year was a big miss, 

nothing really went our way and 

we had a lot of injuries through 

the tournament,” said Lane. 

When the Cavaliers head to 

Wellington this weekend to 

begin the week long tournament 

finish to the NHL they will be 

aiming for silverware. 

“We’ve got a really good group 

of players and a lot of us have 

grown up playing together. 

We’re going there to win it,” said 

Newman. 

The Cavaliers play their 

remaining five round-robin 

games in the space of six days 

starting Saturday where they 

will look for a top four finish to 

earn a spot in next weekend’s 

semi-finals. 

Meanwhile, the Canterbury 

Cats will be looking to win the 

national women’s title they last 

secured in 2016. 

They started their campaign 

with a dominant 9-1 win over 

Southern on Sunday.

News 

Now 

GREG INGLIS says St George 

Illawarra’s broad-shouldered 

snipers are welcome to target the 

decade-old rib injury that floored 

him last week, as the Rabbitohs 

skipper charges through the pain 

in pursuit of a premiership. 

Almost every NRL player still 

standing in the competition 

is carrying some form of niggle 

– this week alone has seen a 

ruptured testicle (Kurt Capewell), 

torn elbow ligaments (Viliame 

Kikau) and syndesmosis injuries 

(Jack de Belin) put to the side for 

week two of the finals. 

Inglis is no exception, drawing 

on flotation therapy throughout 

2018 to deal with his various 

aches and ailments. 

In Saturday’s showdown with 

the Dragons he will play through 

a chest infection, lingering shoulder 

pain from Jesse Bromwich’s 

controversial chicken wing-style 

tackle and the rib cartilage injury 

exposed in a heavy shot from 

Suliasi Vunivalu. 

The Australian captain in 

waiting has been a regular client 


Rabbitoh’s skipper will put his body on the line 

at the Sydney Float Centre in 

Darlinghurst on the advice of 

Rabbitohs medical staff this year, 

using a sensory deprivation tank 

to aid post-game recovery. 

The rehabilitation process sees 

him suspended in salt infused 

water twice as buoyant as the 

Dead Sea to reduce the effect of 

gravity, in turn increasing the 

body’s circulation and relieving 

pain and stress. 

“One hour’s sleep in there is the 

equivalent of about four or five 

hours sleep,” Inglis said. 

“It just helps you recover 

and if you’re struggling with 

a few injuries, it helps a lot of 

things. Your fatigue, your sleep, 

stress levels, it’s really good for 

you.” 

In high spirits on Tuesday, the 

30-year-old revealed Vunivalu 

had nailed a rib injury that he 

sustained during his Melbourne 

playing days, ironically against 

the Rabbitohs. 

But with the likes of Tariq 

Sims, Tyson Frizell and de Belin 

regarded as some of the heaviest 



hitters in the game, Inglis has no 

qualms if they come after him 

with a rib tickle in Saturday’s 

sudden-death clash at ANZ 

Stadium. 

“If they do, they do,” he 

grinned. 

“What happens between those 

white lines in 80 minutes happens 

on the field. 

“I was in a lot of pain, but 

it’s football. You give it you’re 

all, you put your body on the 

line and that’s why I love this 

game.’’
