Synthetic drug theory in two deaths
Craig Downing
• By Sophie Cornish
POLICE ARE waiting for toxicology
results to determine if two people
have died in Christchurch from
synthetic drug use.
A person died yesterday morning
in New Brighton, and a man was
found unconscious on the footpath
on Mairehau Rd on Monday night.
He later died.
They are suspected of having used
synthetic drugs.
Two others were in Christchurch
Hospital’s intensive care unit
yesterday.
Police and St John are so concerned
about the use of synthetic drugs in
Christchurch they called a media
conference yesterday.
Ambulance officers attending
call-outs to ill synthetic drug users
are often attacked. They are having to
sedate those patients.
St John Christchurch metro
territory manager Craig Downing
said patients who they suspect have
taken the drugs are unpredictable
and physically and verbally abusive.
“Keep your hands off our ambos.
They aren’t there to be touched. We
do our job because we care, we are
empathetic . . . but that doesn’t give
anyone the right to touch our staff,”
he said.
On Saturday night, a St John officer
in his 20s was “violently attacked”
by a patient in an ambulance. The
patient was arrested by police.

$5000 to remove stricken yacht

Walsh gives Megan his best shot
• By Julia Evans
“HUMBLING.”
That’s how World
Championship gold medal shotputter
Tom Walsh described
hearing plucky teenager Megan
Hore’s on going battle with bone
cancer.
Yesterday, Walsh joined All
Black great Richie McCaw in
signing one of four Mickey
Mouse paintings, which will be
auctioned off to raise money to
help get Megan to Disneyland
Paris.
She has a bucket list of going
to every Disneyland around the
world and ticked Hong Kong off
the list last month.
Walsh met Megan in the
Christchurch Hospital children’s
haematology and oncology centre
in April following his win at the
Commonwealth Games on the
Gold Coast.
Megan asked for Walsh’s
signature after she said she “fangirled”
over him when she got to
wear his medals.
She stayed up late watching
him compete at the games, which
she said was tough for someone
struggling with the side effects of
chemotherapy treatment.
“I definitely remember her,”
Walsh told The Star.
“I felt like I managed to put a
smile on her face, which could be
quite hard to do when you’re in
hospital like that.”
Having her look up to him
considering what she was going
through made him want to help.
“Some people just have it
bloody tough, don’t they,” he said.
“It puts a lot of things into
perspective.”
Walsh said he also admired
the hard work of artist Rangi
Downes, who painted and donated
the Mickey art.
“It takes me back to being a
kid. I was told the story behind
the artwork, it’s really impressive
that he just goes out of his way to
help people.”
Megan began testing on
Tuesday to see whether the
chemotherapy treatment had
worked. The results of those tests
are expected in the middle of this
month.

Conduct conflict almost settled
• By Julia Evans
UNDER FIRE David East
and three community board
members appear to be close to
resolving their conflict with the
city council over District Plan
flooding issues.
Coastal Ward city councillor
East, Coastal-Burwood
Community Board chairwoman
Kim Money and deputy
chairman Tim Sintes, and
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham are facing code
of conduct complaints over an
allegation staff had tampered
with the District Plan.
Cr East said the city council
had put a resolution offer
forward, but he could not
comment on the specific nature
of the offer.
However, The Star
understands it involves the
group publicly apologising for
their actions.
Cr East said the group had not
accepted the city council’s offer
and had gone back with their
own.
“We filed a response to the
council’s response yesterday,” he
told The Star on Tuesday.
“We’re awaiting recognition
of that and to hear further about
the next steps. They’ve made an
BATTLING: Informal
discussions are being

offer and we’ve made an offer.”
The root of the conflict is
a three line clause omitted
from the city’s new District
Plan, which came into effect in
December.
The clause would give leeway
to people in specific coastal
areas, deemed at risk of flooding,
to build and extend homes.
Mr Sintes said there had been
several mediation meetings
and an outcome was hoped for
this week. But as Mayor Lianne
Dalziel is in Japan, that would be
delayed.
“We’re working our way
forward, but we still have got to
meet somewhere in the middle
. . . at this stage, we’ve agreed
that’s confidential . . . there’s a
difference of opinion so we’re
not there yet,” he said.
However, Mr Sintes said the
group was “sticking to its guns”
and not backing down.
Dr Latham, who has been
vocal in The Star and two of its
community newspapers Bay
Harbour News and Pegasus Post,
was surprisingly mute when
contacted yesterday.
“We’ve made a commitment to
confidentiality.”
City council chief executive
Karleen Edwards confirmed
they had met twice to try and
resolve the issue informally.
The Star asked Dr Edwards
who was at the meetings, what
the outcome was, and what
resolution offers had been made.
She did not answer questions,
stating it was confidential.
“The process is ongoing,
therefore I have no further
comment.”
However, Cr East confirmed
discussions were still in the
informal stage.
“None of us really want to go
down the formal route, but that’s
not to say we wouldn’t if things
hit the fan.”
Last week the city council
approved a proposal for
Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister Megan
Woods to utilise her powers
under section 71 of the Greater
Christchurch Regeneration Act
to add the clause to the District
Plan.

Charges close
over deadly
hit-and-run
CHARGES WILL soon be laid
for the fatal hit-and-run in
Dallington that killed 30-year-old
Steffan Pearce-Loe.
Detective Senior Sergeant Greg
Cottam confirmed on Tuesday the
investigation is in its final stages.
He said charges would be laid in
the “next couple of weeks,” but he
wouldn’t reveal what they were.
In July, Mr Pearce-Loe was
killed when he was hit by a vehicle
near the Gayhurst Rd bridge
as he was walking his dogs at
about 2.30am. He was found by
members of the public in a critical
condition and died from his
injuries the following day.
The vehicle’s owner did not
stop. Two days after the incident,
police found the vehicle involved
– which had damage consistent
with the crash – after a detective
spotted it parked up a driveway.
Car parts located at the scene
and CCTV footage were reviewed
by police to establish the make of
the vehicle involved.
The vehicle’s owner was
interviewed by police. Police
would not comment on the
owner’s age, gender or account of
what happened.

Bid to rebrand Innovation Precinct
• By Julia Evans
IT MAY be a new part of the

“We’ve been talking about the

We’ve got epic pockets of innovation.
But it’s become what it

to call it SALT district from
these street names. It’s also
South Alternative, S-Alt.”
But he said it also ties into a
number of other aspects that the
area wants to be known for.
“Salt is used to preserve. We
are preserving the history of
the area. We’re taking what we
have and working with that,” Mr
Thompson said.
“We’ve put together a name
and identity. It’s not set in
stone. We’re at the far end of the
South Frame. This area has a
lot of character, with authentic
laneways. It has the potential to
be a destination.”
Mr Percasky, as well as other
businesses including Smash
Palace owners Garry and Johnny
Moore and C1 Espresso’s Sam
Crofskey are working on the
new name in conjunction with
Otakaro.
“I talked to Otakaro. They
were good. We said let’s put a
group together and rebrand
this area. They put together a
group of property owners to
kick ideas around . . . we want
everyone on board to get behind
this idea to establish something
that describes our area better
than Innovation Precinct,” Mr
Percasky said.
Mr Moore said the area has
its own culture and officials
should be listening to locals to
make sure it is accurately represented.
“You need to make sure
the weeds flourish. The

An Ōtākaro spokesperson said
it became apparent there was a
shared desire among investors to
promote the area as more than
a hub for innovation but as a
destination within the city
“Ōtākaro provided $3000 seed
money to get a designer started
on an initial destination brand
concept. This concept was well
received and the stakeholders
in the area will now develop
it further to ensure it has

Apology follows
threat to

THE YOUNG mother who was
threatened to be beheaded by
gardeners has received a written
apology.
The woman, who did not want

believed to be bogus tree cutters
on social media when she viewed
them on security camera footage
looking around her property,
after her partner had asked them
to leave.
She then received threats in

Now, following police intervention,
the mother has received two

“It is what it is . . . I just want to

she said yesterday.

Parade funding questioned
• By Julia Evans
WHY THE city’s events
agency is not helping
fund the Santa Parade has
been questioned by a city
councillor.
The event isn’t considered
major enough for
ChristchurchNZ to be
involved.
It comes as an additional
$20,000 of funding to go
towards the parade’s rent,
rates and insurance was
approved at the city council
meeting on Thursday.
It is the second time
the city council has given
funding to the parade this
financial year – the first
time $65,000 was granted.
However, city councillor
Yani Johanson questioned
why it was footing the
bill without input from
ChristchurchNZ.
Last year, the city
council’s events unit was
merged with Christchurch
and Canterbury Tourism
and Canterbury Development
Corporation to create
the tourism, events and
economic development
agency ChristchurchNZ.
“I just wondered if
we’ve actually approached
ChristchurchNZ which
is very keen on attracting
sponsorship to events and
are they providing support?
They’ve got a lot of funding
now,” Cr Johanson said.
City council chief
executive Karleen
Edwards said granting
funding was up
to the city council.
“This is more of a
community event,
rather than a major
event,” Dr Edwards
said.
“We’ve asked
ChristchurchNZ to focus
on major events in their
statement of intent and this
is not a major event so it
falls with council.”
City council manager

with the new events policy

“The Santa Parade is classified
as a regional event
which is the responsibility
of Christchurch City Council,”
she said.
Cr Johanson said:
“So cricket playing
rugby guys with
about 10,000 people,
if they’re lucky, is
in the mandate but
this isn’t, with about
100,000 people. That
seems very odd.”
ChristchurchNZ general
manager destination Loren
Heaphy and attraction said
it has not been approached
to support the Santa Parade.
“If we were approached,
we would consider it
alongside all other events
that are looking for
support.”

Research into
tourism uses
social media
CANTERBURY researchers
are using social media to
understand international

sustainable tourism.
ChristchurchNZ senior
economist Peter Fieger, and
Canterbury University college
of business and law associate
professor Girish Prayag, professor
Michael Hall and Chris
Chen are exploring how Canterbury
can develop its tourism
industry using social media.
Dr Fieger said the group
hopes to understand what kind
of sustainability operations,
products, services and practices
are most valued by international
visitors.
Dr Prayag said by analysing
online customer reviews and
surveying international visitors,
the team aims to identify
themes about what sustainable
practices and initiatives are
valued.
“This is an exciting research
opportunity to harness the
power of social media analysis
and artificial intelligence techniques

Digging up suffragette’s past
Life of city’s

unearthed
• By Julia Evans
EVIDENCE OF the tough
life endured by the city’s first

an archaeological dig at her

Ada Wells was one of the
country’s leading suffragettes,

first female city

co-founder of
the Canterbury
Women’s
Institute.

connected to the suffrage
movement . . . but it was
interesting because of all of the
things she would have been using
every day,” Ms Watson said.
In January 1884, she married
Harry Wells and NZ History said
it was her husband’s “volatile
temper and continual drinking”
that strengthened her views on
the importance of equality and
economic independence for
women.
The dig uncovered small
alcohol bottles, which Ms
Watson said could play into the
story of her husband’s drinking
problem.
“It’s a tricky one making sure
you’re sticking to facts and not
story-telling,” she said.
“But I thought the small
alcohol bottles were a really cool
discovery. Her husband was an
interesting one. According to the
Te Ara Encyclopedia, he was an
alcoholic.”
Ms Watson said other
archaeological research has
connected small alcohol bottles
to hidden drinking issues, and
unhappy marriages were often a
motivator for women to get into
politics.
“Which could be going on
here,” she said.
Also discovered on the site
were complete plates, serving
dishes, tea cups and saucers.
Ms Watson said these fitted
with the idea she would be
hosting a lot during her political
campaigning.
“It’s more unusual to be getting
a big ceramic assemblage like
this, but with her work she’s
probably entertaining so many
guests and it plays into that
narrative of her still having to
be a good mother and wife, even
with her being active in women’s
rights,” Ms Watson said.
But Ms Watson said without
having been there in the 1890s it
was impossible to know whether
the tea cups were vessels used
to serve tea in or symbols of
political change.

Conserving heritage buildings aim
A heritage plan
is in the works as
the city council
aims to conserve
what buildings are
left following the
destruction of the
earthquakes. Julia
Evans reports
THE CITY’S few remaining
heritage buildings are about to be
protected with the development
of a new strategy.
The council is developing a
city-wide heritage strategy in the
wake of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes
– which had a “devastating”
and “unprecedented” impact
on heritage buildings.
“Almost half of the central
city’s protected heritage buildings
and more than a third of all
protected heritage buildings in
Christchurch were demolished,”
the draft strategy said.
It said this scale of “loss and
change” is rare in both national
and international terms.
The draft heritage strategy is
set to go out for public consultation
this month. A hearings panel
made up of city councillors, a
community board member and
runaga will deliberate on submissions
before the plan is finalised.
“While this loss of built heritage
is significant the opportunity
emerges to consider the intangible
heritage which remains: the stories
of people and places, including
sites, traditions, knowledge,
landscapes, areas and archaeology.
This will bring us closer to Ngāi
Tahu’s concept of cultural heritage,”
a staff report said.
It said there has been an
“increased public awareness”
regarding heritage buildings following
the quakes.
“The community has indicated
that our remaining built heritage is
even more precious and valuable.”

to what are permitted or restricted

and many interiors of buildings
are no longer included in heritage
listings.”
The strategy instead aims
to increase the range of nonregulatory
approaches to use as
“guardians” of built heritage.
That includes working with
partners and the community to
ensure heritages places, spaces
and stories are accessible.
“Continue with annual

council cash has been injected
into heritage restorations.
The former Chief Post Office

landmark heritage grant at
yesterday’s social, community
development and housing committee
meeting.
The 140-year-old brick building
in Cathedral Square, which
has been vacant since the February
22, 2011, earthquake, has
category one heritage status.
“The owner has settled with
the building’s former insurer
and is ready to proceed with
the repair, seismic upgrade
and roof replacement works.
The latter two work items are
not covered by insurance but
are needed if the building is to
not be classed as earthquake

Red zone plan close
• By Julia Evans
THE DRAFT plan for the
future of the red zone is
expected to be made public
before the end of the year.
In its quarterly report,
Regenerate Christchurch
revealed the draft Otakaro
Avon River Corridor
Regeneration Plan would
be made public by late-
December.
“Regenerate Christchurch
advises the draft
Regeneration Plan is forecast
to be publicly notified
between mid-November
and late-December,” the
report said.
Once released and public
feedback gathered, the
draft plan will then be
approved by Minister for
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Megan Woods
before it is finalised.
It comes after The Star
revealed Regenerate had
spent nearly $500,000
on the exhibition used to
gather public feedback
which will develop the
draft plan.
“There are always costs
involved with public
engagement but, given
the scale and long-term
significance of our work,
REVEAL: Regenerate Christchuch’s draft plan
for the future of the red zone will be released in
November or December. (Inset) – Ivan Iafeta.
we believe this investment
is important to ensure
our work is informed by
the views and aspirations
of the community,” chief
executive Ivan Iafeta said.
He said the five-week
exhibition and engagement
was one of the “most
significant” public
engagements since the
earthquakes.
The money was spent on
interactive displays, the
design and printing of the
panels, lease and fit-out
of the exhibition space
in Cashel St, an online
version of the exhibition,
the travelling exhibition,
printing and advertising,
project management, and
ambassadors.
It is estimated developing
the red zone would cost
$800 million over 30 years.
That includes $153
million for the 11km green
spine, which emerged as
the favourite option from
the exhibition. The red
zone is expected to bring
billions of dollars in to the
economy.

Father still looking for
answers over son’s death
• By Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
IT HAS been one year
since grieving father Geoff
Booth lost his 21-year-old
son to suspected suicide.
Yet his battle to seek
answers into whether his
son Liam received the
necessary help from health
authorities leading up to
his death remains ongoing.
Last year Mr Booth laid a
complaint with the Canterbury
District Health Board
after Liam was found dead
in Beckenham Park, near
his flat, on October 2.
The case is before the
coroner.
The
CDHB
has since
undertaken
a serious
event review
to identify
opportunities to improve
its systems and processes.
Mr Booth said in the
original report the CDHB
“attributed no blame to
themselves” and described
the report as a “whitewash.”
His concerns were the
report did not name any of
the staff members involved
and dates leading up to
Liam’s death were incorrect.
The CDHB has since
come back to him with a
revised copy of the report.
CDHB mental health
services clinical manager
Vicki Dent said family
involvement and feedback
to identify any inaccuracies
is a vital part of the review
process before the final
report is released.
Mr Booth is planning
to lodge a complaint with
the Health and Disability
Commissioner.
Last week Mr Booth
received an apology from

THREE GARDENS are

“This city is teeming

Health Board for the death of his son Liam (left).
death, but the CDHB
would not comment
further.
Mr Booth said the
apology is a start, but the
CDHB needs to act on
recommendations from
the review.
The recommendations
were ensuring the treatment
and discharge policy
is followed for future patients
and information
for supporting families is
made available.
The policy includes
involving the family if
permission is granted by
the patient, and addresses
discharging goals and the
physical and mental health
needs of a patient.
Mr Booth said the
CDHB didn’t follow the
policy in Liam’s case.
“I wasn’t privy to any of
that because it didn’t happen,”
Mr Booth said.
Eighteen days before his
death, Liam had threatened
to harm himself at Halswell
Quarry Park. Liam
was taken to Christchurch
Hospital for assessment
before he was discharged.
Mr Booth has since told
the CDHB that hospital
staff wrongly discharged
Liam and took his word
he wasn’t going to harm
himself.
The review said there
was clear documentation
as to why admission to
hospital under the Mental
Health Act was not
thought to be appropriate.
It said Liam was opposed
to admission and the
clinical opinion was not to
forcibly admit him.
But Mr Booth said staff
then had the opportunity
to get Liam hospitalised
and the support he needed.
The report said staff
members were not
identified as expected.
Cathedral Square gardens
something whimsical or
playful, or they might
want to create an entirely
edible garden.”
The gardens must feature
a seating area, greenery and
colour within the space.
Designs must be submitted
by October 29 and all
entries will be evaluated by
an independent panel who
will select eight designs for
the public to vote on.
The three winning
designs will each receive
$2000 in prize money
before the gardens are installed
in early December
and remain in the Square
for three or four months.
“Good things come
in small packages and
we think these pop-up
gardens have the potential
to make a big impact in
the Square so show us
something eye-catching,
something we haven’t seen
before,’’ Ms Ingles said.
The pop-up gardens will
measure just 3m x 4m and
will need to be transported
in sections and easily
assembled on site.

Fire rages, homes at risk
People taking
advantage of
charity box
• By Anan Zaki
A SALVATION Army store in
Hornby has had enough of people
taking donated goods.
Items from the store’s afterhours
donation box have gone
missing, or have ended up damaged,
Salvation Army Community
Ministries Hornby director Kevin
Waugh said.
Mr Waugh said the donation
box is left open to fit a variety
of goods that the store may
receive and counts on people’s
honesty.
But good Samaritans often
alerted the store.
“People from the community
have said to us that during afterhours
they’ve seen stuff dropped
off and then seeing another car
come in and go through everything,”
he said.
Mr Waugh is disappointed that
people have taken advantage of
the box.
Police suggested additional
security but the store will take
another approach.
Mr Waugh is asking people to
stop donating goods after-hours
and phone the store instead.
Tug Lyttelton blowing off steam

THE TUG Lyttelton is gearing
up to steam across the harbour
again after three years laid up
for repairs.

Mike Bruce said volunteers had
started stoking the boiler on
Monday morning.

boiler.
Once the
right pressure
was reached, the society would
turn on the engines for the first
time in three years.
“I’m excited and terrified at
the same time,” Mr Bruce said.
The society was confident
the tug could be accepting passengers
again this sailing season.
Each lost season meant a loss of
income for the society.
It was hoped tug Lyttelton
would have been ready for
the last sailing season. However,
repairing and overhauling the
boat to satisfy issues raised in its
last marine survey three years
ago took longer than expected.
Today, a marine surveyor and
marine architect would inspect
the boat.
“It’s looking really positive. If
they’re happy, that’s pretty much
it,” Mr Bruce said.
If approved, the group could
“slip the moorings” and head
out to the harbour. If not, the
process would “start all over
again.”
“And once that works it’s
hopefully sea trials. And then if
all goes well and the authorities
deem the ship safe we’ll get our
passenger licence reinstated.”
To ready the engines, stokers

would hand shovel around three
tonnes of coal each day at a cost
of $400 a tonne.
“There is 30 tonnes of water
we need to heat up to 80psi, in a
boiler that was built at the same
time as the Titanic. So we raise
the temperature and pressure
nice and slow.”
Originally called Canterbury
when it arrived in Lyttelton
on September 10, 1907. A larger
tug took over most of its duties
in 1939.
It later saw use by the Royal
New Zealand Navy during
World War 2 and carried its first
passengers for the preservation
society in 1973 after it was
retired from tug duties in 1970.

Age no barrier to city cycling
EACH DAY in Christchurch
thousands of people use bicycles
for their commute, for fitness,
or just for fun. An increasing
number of those people are of
advancing years.
St Albans retiree Jean Bell
returned to cycling last year after
a long period without a bike. “I
was encouraged to try an e-bike,
and I was soon hooked on it,”
she said.
“It’s just so handy,” Jean explained.
“I’m surprised by how far I can
cycle when in the car the same
distance feels like a long way.’’
Visiting friends, attending
meetings, hairdresser and doctor
appointments – Jean travels to
them all by bike.
“It’s much easier to park my
bike than park the car,” she said.
“Now, driving with just one
person in my car feels decadent;
a bit naughty.”
The city’s geography
lends itself to getting around by
bike.
“Unlike Wellington or Auckland,
in Christchurch you have
a choice – cycle on the flat or
test yourself on the Port Hills,”
explains Julie Milne, who recently
cycled the length of New
Zealand to raise awareness of
stroke sufferers.
Julie rides to work year-round
on her modified bicycle; two
childhood strokes left her with
restricted arm movement.
“Cycling is my physical upkeep,”
she said.
“It improves my quality of getting
older. If I don’t bike, I seize
up, which then means I can’t
bike. So, I keep biking.”
Julie will be sharing her experiences
at the NZ Bike Expo
(October 13 and 14).
This cornerstone event of
the Biketober festival is where
cyclists of all ages can gather to
celebrate the cycle.
“The expo brings the cycling
industry and the Christchurch
community together,” said event
organiser Krissy O’Connor.
“It places cycling events, test
rides, and community groups
alongside commercial exhibitors.
It’s a very hands-on weekend of
everything bike-related.”
For Christchurch residents
who perhaps haven’t explored
much of the new-look central
city, Saturday’s Pedal into Spring
extravaganza of Biketober offers
twelve themed, self-guided rides
to choose from. Cafés, shops,
playgrounds, art, a family treasure
hunt – there’s a route for all ages.
“If you haven’t been on a bike
for a while,” says Julie Milne,
“start on a cycleway and go from
there. You’re safe. Cycling is
lovely.”

Kelly Tikao
The nurse who would have
Kelly Tikao has received
the Kate Sheppard
Memorial Trust Award and
a $4000 grant towards her
PhD exploring traditional
Maori birthing practices.
Sophie Cornish talks to
the mother of five and
Canterbury District Health
Board mental health
service nurse about her
busy life
Tell me a little about the Kate
Sheppard Award and how you
came to be a recipient?
It’s like going for any other
grant, it is advertised. I had
applied for it the year before.
They didn’t issue it out because
they didn’t have enough funding.
They sent me a really lovely letter,
it was warm and encouraging. It
said ‘thank you for your work’. It
was one of the better turn-down
letters, they took the time to read
my work and valued what I was
doing.
Then I saw it advertised
again and thought, well, I got
such a nice letter that it was
worth applying again. I didn’t
think much of it and then they
contacted me after a night shift
and congratulated me on being
the recipient. Because I was still
in a bit of daydream from work,
I didn’t realise the significance
of receiving it in the 150th
celebration of suffrage. It dawned
on me when they sent the press
release and other formalities and
I realised how much of a honour
it really was.
What does this award mean
to you? Are you interested in
suffrage and women’s rights?
For sure, if you are a Maori
woman you are always interested
in women’s rights. I always
believe and want to encourage
women who don’t always get
acknowledged, or aren’t in
the limelight, who are equally
doing as much as Kate and the
HONOURED: Kelly Tikao has been
awarded the Kate Sheppard Memorial
Trust Award on the 125th anniversary
of women’s suffrage,
Maori women who stood before
Maori Parliament. The voices
of those who are not seen in
the public light are equally as
important as those who are. For
me, it was an opportunity and
acknowledgement of being a
woman and a Maori woman, and
also representing many others.
It’s not me who stands alone to
receive an award like this, but
everyone I represent. It is quite
exciting and scary at the same
time.
What made you want to get
into this line of study? Why are
you passionate about it?
I birthed my babies, and with
each baby, I utilised an element
of traditional Maori birthing
practices. And with that came an
intrigue and curiosity, because
it was so hard to find out about
these traditions. What were they?
How do you do them? I was sort
of sitting, waiting for more time
to research them. When I did
my masters at Otago University,
I made a film. It gave me the
opportunity to come up with
an idea. Because I always came
into science and communication
with a communication and
health background, the two
naturally came together. It
gave me the opportunity to
explore this, because I thought
it was intriguing and I also
saw a philosophy in it. This is
something that has actually been
with me for 17 years, because
that’s how old my oldest boy is
and it’s just grown.
What do you hope to do with
your PhD when you’re finished?
Because I am mature and a
nurse, people often ask me why
aren’t you interested in becoming
a midwife? For me, midwives
are very busy. I work alongside
midwives doing this work, we
work totally together on bringing
this knowledge out. I hope to
provide research for them. I hope
to put this into a practical frame
and apply it. I want to make more
resources.
The film I made about it in
2011, called Iho – a cord between
two worlds (iho is the Maori
name for umbilical cord), I
still get requests for it. It was
meant to be just for my masters,
but because there are limited
resources out there on traditional
Maori practices, it became in hot
demand. I was most embarrassed
at times about the quality of the
filming because I made it and it
was for my learning. However, it
did highlight that there is such a
need, so I hope that I can use my
research to produce resources,
such as brochures and films,
that can be made available for
midwives to use. That would be
a great idea, but it needs funding
and energy.

made Kate Sheppard proud
How long have you been a
nurse?
I went into nursing school
when I was 17 and finished when
I was 20. I am now 48-years-old.
So for a long time. In saying that,
I didn’t nurse that whole time. I
had children and had other gaps.
I have done nursing for about 15
years.
What’s it like working in
youth mental health?
Mental health has been
something that has been
around me all the time within
my nursing, regardless of what
avenue I was working in. What
brought me to this space is that
I love working with youth. It is
always a privilege and an honour
to be working with families and
young people during a crisis
point in their lives, because it
is not something I take lightly.
Being a mother of teenagers, you
have that ability to feel for them
and relate. I suppose that is what
I love about nursing, being part
of that intimate and harrowing
time for families. But also being
part of the richness of recovery
and hope. If you can provide a
little bit of hope to the family
that is going through really
tough times, then it is incredibly
rewarding. Working in mental
health has a bad wrap in the
media at the moment – it is not
encouraging. I would encourage
more nurses to consider
working in mental health for the
knowledge and the skills and the
width of what you can learn in
those environments.
Your life sounds very full-on.
Tell me about your family and
being a mother of five?
They are very busy – teenagers
are full-on. The only way I can
do all of this is by having an
FAMILY TIME:

and my youngest is eight-yearsold.
The younger three are at
Kura Kaupapa Maori, a Maori
language immersion school.
Do any of your children want
to follow in your footsteps?
I think I have completely put
them off. What I always keep
saying to them is ‘don’t be like
me and leave this so late’. Yes,
there is a time and place for some
mature students to be doing their
PhD, but not when you have five
kids and are looking after your
father and are involved in too
many jobs. This has all come
about because I am a late learner
and didn’t do as well as I wanted
to at school. My words of wisdom
to them is to do it right at school

so you are not constantly trying
to gain back what you lost in
those really crucial school years.
I hope they are inspired and
know that no matter what age
you are, you are never too old for
learning. Previously, I didn’t want
to attend one of my graduation
ceremonies for my degree. My
husband said to me, and rightly
so, this is not about you, it’s about
us, your children need to see
you receive it to know there is a
completion and to know this is
what happens when you work
hard.
I understand your husband
also studied recently? What
does he do and how do you guys
juggle your lives?
He is an early childhood
teacher, which is huge. There is a
huge cry out for more men and
more Maori and Pasifika men
in early childhood. He is going
against the grain coming from a
background of theatre, film and
cooking. He decided one day to
put it all together into a teaching
degree. He is an incredible
teacher and has a huge amount
to offer. We don’t juggle it very
well. Some days we go ‘wow, we
managed to get through that day’.
We have pretty long days. We
have to be pretty strict around
the logistics of the household. We
live off the smell of an oily rag
and are very efficient with what
we have, that’s come from years
of fine-tuning. We are certainly
not perfect, we totally blow it in
the sense of energy output. We
always try to eat together when
we can, eat well and do sports.

Tapestry tells WW1 story
HISTORY: A tapestry commemorating the relationship
between New Zealand soldiers and a small English town
will be on display at Canterbury Museum.
THE STORY of a relationship
between New Zealand
soldiers and an English town
during World War 1 is being
remembered.
Between July 1915 and March
1920, more than 27,000 New
Zealand soldiers were treated at
the No 2 New Zealand General
Hospital at Mount Felix estate in
Walton-on-Thames.
Now, a century later, an embroidered
tapestry has been created
to tell the story of the Anzac
soldiers, nurses, doctors and the
people of Walton-on-Thames
from 100 years ago.
It will be on display at Canterbury
Museum from Saturday.
The 44-panel tapestry was
completed last year and attempts
to tell the stories of bravery, love
and loss from the hospital.
The project took two years and
a small group of artists from both
New Zealand and Walton-on-
Thames helped to create it.
One of the panels illustrates the
bravery displayed by Kaikouraborn
nurse Edith “Poppy” Popplewell
when a large steamer
ship called the Marquette, which
was carrying 741 people from
New Zealand and the United
Kingdom, was sunk by a German
torpedo in October 1915.
Lance Corporal Alexander
Grant from Invercargill
first spotted his future wife,
Walton-on-Thames resident Ruth
Rosewell, over an “ivy clad wall”
while recovering from a war
wound at the hospital.
Their romance is the subject of
another of the tapestry’s panels.
Canterbury Museum director
Anthony Wright said the tapestry
is a unique way of commemorating
the special connections
between Walton-on-Thames and
New Zealand.
“It really is remarkable that a
century after the war, the Walton
community still feel such a strong
connection to New Zealand.”
Controversial flying fox
could get new home
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A CONTROVERSIAL flying
fox removed from a playground
in the Prestons Park subdivision
for being too noisy could be
re-installed at Marshland
Domain.
The domain has been
determined as the best
location by city council
staff for the flying fox,
which was formerly
located at Muka Park.
It comes after the
flying fox was removed
at a cost of $20,000 after
neighbours complained
to the city council.
It divided the
neighbourhood with a petition
of 488 signatures in support of
keeping the flying fox at Muka
Park presented to the Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
last year.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said
Marshland Domain has suitable
separation from neighbouring
properties and is in close
proximity to Muka Park.
He said it looked at other
nearby parks and Marshland
School as options. The
estimated cost of re-installing
the flying fox is $30,000. The
estimate includes building a
mound, platform, posts for the
cable, landscaping, earthworks
and a playground soft fall.
A community board report
said funding is available in
the Long Term Plan
to install the flying
fox between 2020 and
2021.
But Mr Rutledge
said the cost would
be assessed when
the funding is
made available.
Community board
Tim Sintes deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said Marshland
Domain is only a suggestion
and residents have got to be
advised if it is going to be built
there. “Hopefully we can learn
by our mistakes and we don’t
repeat what we did last time,”
he said.
When the funding is
confirmed, the city council will
check in with the community
to see if it is in support of the
project and the location for
the flying fox. The flying fox is
currently in storage.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Summer tipple brewed to fix jetty
• By Matt Salmons
IF YOU’RE drinking a beer over
summer, it may as well be for a
good cause.
A limited one-off brew
from Two Thumbs Brewing
Co, set to be released next
month, will raise money for the
restoration of the Governors Bay
jetty.
Brewery owner and Governors
Bay resident Mark Limber said
it was “a bit of no-brainer” to
combine his love of brewing with
a passion for his community.
“Everybody wants a beer for
Christmas, it may as well be for a
good cause.”
Cases of the yet to be named
and labelled “jetty beer” are
available for pre-order.
All profits will go towards the
restoration of the jetty, with Two
Thumbs only recouping the cost
of labour and ingredients.
The recipe was known as a
steam beer, using yeast strands
that normally favoured cooler
temperatures in a hot brewing
process. “It’s something light,
between a pale ale and a lager.”
Mr Limber said his brewery
had released a similar recipe last
summer which “went down so
well.”
BREWING: Two Thumbs Brewing owner Mark Limber is
producing a limited edition beer to raise money to restore
the Governors Bay jetty.
“I just thought this would be
ideal.” The mix was fermenting
last week, and was put into a
conditioning tank this week
where it will stay for a further
two to three weeks.
“That’s when all the flavour
starts developing.”
Only one 800-litre batch will
be brewed, which will equate to
129 cases of 12 500ml bottles.
“Once those 129 cases are
gone, it’s gone,” Mr Limber said.
The jetty was an “icon” in
the area, Mr Limber said. It has
been there for more than 100
years and was closed after the
earthquakes.
Mr Limber said the Governors
Bay Jetty Trust estimated it
could restore the jetty for $3
million.
The city council has agreed to
match the trust with up to $1.5
million in funding.
The trust has arranged with
the city council to purchase the
jetty for the nominal fee
of $1. It will then sell the jetty
back for the same price once
JETTY BEER
•Cases of the beer are
available on pre-order
at $120 from the website
www.savethejetty.org
•The brewery is running
a competition to name
the beer and design its
label
•Entries for the
competition are open
until Sunday and can be
emailed to savethejetty@
gmail.com
•More information can be
found at the Governors
Bay Jetty Restoration
Trust Facebook page
renovations are complete.
Mr Limber said the group has
applied for grants to fund the
work and needs $600,000 from
the community – $200,000 of
which has already been raised.
Cutting-edge
fire station
opened
THE NEW Woolston Fire Station
was officially opened on Saturday
– the third of six to be rebuilt.
More than 150 nearby residents
toured the new building. Fire and
Emergency chairman Paul Swain,
who opened the station, said the
February 22, 2011, earthquake
devastated the city’s fire stations.
“This modern station is
another step in redeveloping
the metropolitan city’s entire
network of fire stations.”
The new Woolston station
was built on the site of the
former station at a cost of $6.9
million. More than 900 piles were
driven in to strengthen the site,
which is 1.2m higher than it was
before.
It features two appliance bays,
six single bedrooms, a gym,
kitchen and lounge.
In its purpose-built dirty-toclean
zones, firefighters can bag
smoke-contaminated gear in a
negative pressure environment
before showering to prevent
carcinogen transfer into clean
living and work areas.
The Woolston crew moved
back to the station in mid-June,
before work was completed.

million on upgrading its

ratepayers money if the workers
can not locate the property they
are supposed to be working
on. Great way of using our
rates.
Christine Fisher – I think it
is a waste of money. I had to ring
the city council regarding my
water main that would not turn
off and wanted it repaired. I am
one of four on a long driveway. I
gave my home address for the
repair and was told that this
would be done
in three days. I
contacted the city
council on said day
and was informed
that this was
done. However,
when I went back
to turn the water
off a few days later
the problem was
still there – I was
not able to turn the
water off. When
I phoned the city council, I was
told that the repairers had gone
to the property next door and
fixed that as they could not find
my place. I was then told about
that update to help find sections
for repair and told the call person
that this had not worked seeing
the repair had been done to a
property that did not require it.
I consider this upgraded system
to be very poor and a waste of

•If you want to ask Ms Dalziel a question, email
mayor@ccc.govt.nz. Put Reader’s Question in the
subject line.
Why not free bus trips to the movies?
IT WAS interesting having so
many ambassadors and guests
in the city for the first time since
the Antarctic season opened last
year.
The overwhelming reaction to
what they saw was the extent of
the progress that had been made
in that year.
I think when we live in a place,
especially with all the road cones
and disruptions to our usual
patterns of travel, we don’t always
lift our eyes to what’s around us.
The opening of the Hoyts EntX
complex immediately across the
road from the bus interchange
should be another game-changer
in terms of bringing people into
the city.
A fully integrated approach to
public transport would say this
is a no-brainer. When people
book their tickets to a movie
online, they could get a free bus
trip in and out of the city. But
this isn’t the council’s decision.
Although we have worked
more collaboratively through
a joint committee with our
neighbouring district councils
of Selwyn and Waimakariri,
the New Zealand Transport
Agency, Canterbury District
Health Board and Ngai Tahu, the
ultimate decision-making rests
with Environment Canterbury.
It occurred to me that I hadn’t
written a column on this because
Mayor
Lianne Dalziel
it is not us who are making the
decisions, but we do have input
and we will have Papanui Ward
city councillor Mike Davidson
on the hearings panel.
What would get you on a
bus? Park and ride? Free inner
city shuttle? Free bus tickets
associated with movies and
events? Uber-bus to transport
you to major bus route hubs?
Submissions close next
Saturday. So visit https://
haveyoursay.ecan.govt.nz/

IDEA: Lianne Dalziel likes the idea of a free bus trip in and
out of the city when you buy a movie ticket online from the
new Hoyts EntX.

Treasure Trawling
Antiques, curios
and collectibles are a
great place to begin
when looking for
ways to put your
unique stamp on
your home.
While minimalist
interiors can run
the risk of looking
too polished and devoid of personality, cluttering up your
home with an abundance of ornate antique pieces can feel
like you’re living in a museum.
Although achieving just the right balance of the
past and the present through a careful selection of
furniture, art, antiques, lighting, textiles, and collectible
takes some skill and a bit of experimentation,
it is a lot of fun.
Weekends spent scouring flea markets, antique shops
and vintage emporiums provides the ideal breeding ground
to stimulate the creative juices by envisioning how different
pieces can be used and repurposed to make a house
a home.
I personally love giving a new lease of life to objects that
have begun life for one intended purpose and transforming
them into something else.
Vintage fabric is a great way to instantly rejuvenate
interiors. If you’re handy with the sewing machine whip up
a couple of cushion covers in complementary colourways
for the living room or frame a
gorgeous piece of fabric for a
unique work of art to brighten
up your walls.
As an avid collector
of all things weird and
wonderful on my travels
and many hours of treasure
trawling, be prepared
unleash your imagination
and be warned - this
pastime can be seriously
addictive!

1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
4 wholegrain or rye bread rolls,
halved, toasted
Directions
Place a pan over high heat.
Spray patties and kumara slices

Gardening
Pot your petunias
• By Henri Ham
OCTOBER MARKS the
middle of spring – the
most popular planting
season of the year. Many of
you will have your summer
vege crops of lettuce, peas,
courgettes and tomatoes
top of mind right now. And
rightly so.
But have you thought
about which flowers you’d
like to pot up in your garden
this summer?
For a colourful injection
of beauty into your pot
plants and garden you can’t
overlook petunias. Petunias
have a cheerful flower that
can bloom nonstop from
summer through to late
autumn.
They are also incredibly
diverse. Petunias come
in an amazing range of
colours, shapes and sizes.
They can have a single
or double layer of petals,
being ruffled or smooth.
Many have a gramophone
shaped flower. Petunias are
ideal for bedding, borders,
pot plants and hanging
baskets.
Larger petunias (referred
to as grandiflora) can grow
up to 80cm across (if you
really let them go) and
have huge flowers spanning
15cm. Their impressive
size make a real statement
but with this comes more
responsibility. The large
flower means if it is planted
in an exposed place, it will
get hammered from wind
and rain. And you need to
deadhead them to encourage
more flowering.
The medium-sized varieties
will grow between 25
– 50 cm high, with flowers
that span 5cm. Flowers on
the smallest petunia plants
only span 2cm. They are
great for path borders and
cutting gardens too.
I recommend mixing a
few of the smaller varieties
BLOOM: Duo burgundy is a new variety of petunia,
it has strong colour.
and combining them in
pots together. Petunia mini
picobella and duo red and
white are early bloomers
suited to pots. And they
don’t need much deadheading.
I recommend two new
varieties – duo burgundy
and double mix. So get in
now to plant something
truly unique in your gardens
this summer.
Planting-wise petunias
are pretty easy. They like
a sunny well-drained,
fertile spot. Plant seedlings
between 15 to 40cm apart
depending on their size.
Individual guides come on
their labels. If your planting
plot is partially shaded,
plant them slightly closer
together.
Watch out for snails and
aphids on petunias. If they
stop flowering sooner than
you expected aphids could
well be the cause. Petunias
can also catch diseases.
One method to reduce
your chances of disease is
to avoid overhead watering.
In about six to eight
weeks your pots should
start to look perky with
petunia colour.
• By Henri Ham
ARE YOU keen to step it up in your vege
garden this year and try something new?
Then let’s talk about turnips.
Turnips are basically so old I’m re-trending
them as new. But they’re one of those
vegetables that may not be the first to spring
to mind when plotting your garden. So this
month I’m re-introducing turnips.
Turnips actually come in many different
varieties. Purple top, orange, amber
and baby globe. There is also a stock white
turnip. It produces a smooth, semi-globe
shaped root with a tangy taste. It’s great for
eating raw in salads or lightly steamed with
plenty of butter and salt.
Turnips can be used in cooking much
like you would use a potato. I like to cube
turnips up and throw them into stews. Or
julienne them (cut into raw matchsticks)
and use them as a small side salad on my
dinner plate.
Now that you’re reacquainted with
turnips, let me introduce you to another
member of the brassica family - kohlrabi.
This unusual-looking vegetable combines
several features of its relatives. It resembles a
swollen broccoli stem but grows in the shape
of a turnip, sitting just above the ground.
And like cabbage, its skin can be purple, red
or green.
Given its resemblance to other members
of the brassica family, it probably won’t
surprise you to learn kohlrabi translates in
German to ‘cabbage-turnip’.
Its flesh is always pale green and crisp like

an apple but it tastes more like a cabbage,
although sweeter and milder. And it also
grows large edible leaves.
Kohlrabi confuses many as it looks like it
should be a root vegetable, however, it hovers
just above the ground.
Kohlrabi is certainly worth growing and
eating. Try it boiled, roasted, mashed or
raw. Just like turnips, it is a great addition
grated into coleslaw or chopped into sticks
for salad.
Growing both turnips and kohlrabi is
pretty straight forward. They both like fertile
soil, in a sunny well drained spot.
Plant your turnips 20cm apart and
harvest when they are 5-15cm in diameter
(they will sit above the ground slightly).
This will happen 30-60 days after planting
your seedlings.
Plant kohlrabi 25cm apart and harvest
it when the swollen stem is about 8cm in
diameter. This will take 45 – 60 days. They
can taste a bit woody if left too long.

UNLIMITED AIRSOFT
The Star
Thrilling team game
proving popular in
Christchurch
An exciting team game that originated
some 10 years ago in Japan and expanded
to Taiwan, where it was called “survivor
game”, is attracting increasing numbers of
players around the world, including New
Zealand.
Called Airsoft, it is similar in concept
to Paintball, except that players are often
not visibly marked when hit with the soft
plastic pellets.
“Because it doesn’t leave paint marks
on the players, it is cleaner, more effective
and also costs less,” says Joseph Hsieh, who
operates Christchurch’s Unlimited Airsoft
Shop at Middleton and indoor arena, Zone
67, in Woolston.
“However,” he adds, “you still need good
safety glasses or a face mask to enjoy the
game without harm.”
As a team game, it can be played by teams
of two right up to teams of 200, Joseph says,
with some players seeing it as a competitive
sport, and others approaching it as a form
of military training and dressing in combat
gear.
“At Zone 67 we welcome both playing
styles and host both styles of events,” he
says.
For competition,
games usually last
10 to 20 minutes and
have a score system. For
military simulation, players usually have
objectives to achieve, and the games can
last for a few hours, even up to a full day.
Airsoft is ideal as a team-building
exercise, Joseph says, and there are many
Christchurch companies that play at Zone
67 for this purpose.
“Gear is available for hire at Zone 67,
and we have the latest technology in guns
and gear so people can get maximum
enjoyment from the game.”
Regular players can purchase gear at the
Unlimited Airsoft Shop in Annex Road
Middleton, where owner Joseph, who is
originally from Taiwan, is knowledgeable
on all aspects of Airsoft and carries the
latest products. While most customers are
Airsoft players, there are also collectors,
re-enactors, military trainers, police and
others that purchase products there.
To play with hired gear at Zone 67 the
cost is $35 per person; players with their
own gear pay $25 per session.
Zone 67 is located at
67 Kennaway Road, Woolston
and is open seven days a week.
The Unlimited Airsoft Shop is
located at 249a Annex Rd, and
is open Monday to Saturday.

New Zealand’s population is getting
older and a plan is needed to address
this, not just for today’s seniors but for
the seniors of tomorrow. The Positive
Ageing Strategy was released in 2001. Since
then the population has grown by over a
million, and the number of people aged
65+ has increased by almost two thirds.
Today, around 750,000 New Zealanders
have had their 65th birthday. By 2038 this
is likely to be over 1.3 million people. The
next generation of older people will live
longer, be healthier, more skilled and more
educated. They are much more likely to
remain in the workforce – and to want to.
The country will be much more diverse,
with an increasing proportion of older
people who are Māori, Pacific or Asian.
Throughout the regions and communities,
they will need to anticipate not only an older
growing population, but fewer younger

Keeping you safe
for 70 years
Celebrating its 70th year Safe R Brakes
has a well-known and trusted name in
Christchurch and its 12 staff lay claim to a
total of 200 years of experience.
Owners John and Annette Begg, who
bought Safe R Brakes in 2016, continue its
tradition as a specialist brake repairer and
parts supplier as they grow the business.
Last year a tyre service was added, Safe
R Tyres. “We noticed that there were a
number of cars that were coming into the
workshop which had failed their brake
warrants but had also failed on tyres. So
it made sense to be able to offer to fit new
tyres while we were doing the brakes.”

Loneliness has become a bit of a public
issue recently, although people generally
think of it as a problem for senior New
Zealanders, actually it isn’t. Loneliness
actually decreases as people get older
(11.3% of people aged 48-59 felt lonely,
compared to 6.6% aged 79-90). But
loneliness (a lack of quality and closeness
in relationships) and isolation (where
people simply don’t have relationships) are
still major issues for older people and the
SuperGold Card has some solutions which
can be read online at their website.
John says “Specialisation is the way of the
future, not just the past. We have a fantastic
customer base, which includes servicing
car enthusiasts, motorhomes and small
commercial vehicles”.
“We’re known for our highly skilled
and knowledgeable staff that are able to
diagnose and fix just about anything brakes.
If it’s machining drums and rotors, relining
shoes, rebuilding cables, reconditioning
brake hydraulics, custom manufacture of
brake pipes and hoses; it all comes through
here.”
A big part of the business is supplying
brake parts. With a massive inventory of
over 7,000 parts, some dating back to the
1950s and 60s, the company is well known
as the go-to place especially for hard-tofind

Problems with mobility but don’t know
where or what to look for? We do.....
Giving up your drivers licence? Don’t despair, regain your independence with a scooter
The team at Personal Mobility Systems at 29 Shakespeare Road understand
that if mobility is an issue, then customers need to source equipment from
people who really know what they are doing. Mobility Systems believe that
reliability and service are important - mobility equipment is not giving you
mobility if it is not working or if it feels unsafe.
Personal Mobility Systems appreciate that their clients are not all the same.
Although the manufacturers of equipment such as mobility scooters recognise
that their products need a range of sizes and speeds to suit various users,
sometimes the controls themselves need to be changed or moved to suit
the new owner. This is where aspects of personal mobility come into play.
The difference between Mobility Systems and other retailers selling mobility
scooters is technical expertise – they are also engineers who specialise in
mobility equipment, with over 50 years’ experience amongst the team.
If the controls on the scooter or Powerchair you buy from them need to be
adapted to your specific needs, they are definitely the people to talk to.
They understand that if a piece of equipment is not working for you, then it’s
simply not working. Their team have a range of specialist skills in mechanical,
electrical and electronics, all of them specific to mobility equipment. They
believe that their extensive knowledge means they can provide the best
available advice, service, support and the ability to come up with creative and
individual solutions.
Because they know mobility so well, they stock what they know to be the best
equipment, not only in terms of quality but also because they know they can
call on their suppliers for support if they need it. And there is plenty to choose
from. Every model of scooter is available in a range of colours to reflect who
you are. This is one area where it is all about you - whether it is about your
personality, what you need from the scooter, or how you need to be able to
use it. Their staff will help you make the right decision.
The Personal Mobility Systems team also makes various accessories for
mobility scooters and with every new scooter sold they provide a free bag and
holder for the rear of the scooter, which also provides a stick holder. Safety
is always their prime consideration, so they supply a Hi Vis vest, a flag, and
coverage for the AA roadside rescue service to get you home should the need
arise.
If you have a problem, they are there to help you solve it. They undertake to
deliver to your home, then teach you to use your scooter in the environment
where you will be using it. And they make sure you are able to ride safely and
know how to look after your mobility scooter so it will make the difference to
your life that you needed.
Find them at 29 Shakespeare Road, or telephone 3668815.

CANTERBURY’S new
assistant cricket coach
Dion Ebrahim brings a lot
more than just experience
on the cricket field in his
pursuit to develop the next
generation of cricketers.
His life experience
ranges from the highs of
helping Zimbabwe to a
famous test victory over
India, to being arrested
over contract issues in
the Mugabe-led southern
African country.
During Ebrahim’s time
with the Zimbabwe national
team from 2001 to
2005 he experienced two
very different eras.
When he cracked the
side in April 2001 he joined
near the end of Zimbabwe’s
golden era. A famous
test win against India and
home and away series wins
over Bangladesh were
part of his first year in the
team that contained the
likes of Andy Flower and
Heath Streak who would
have been walk-ins for any
international side at the
time.
However, things quickly
took a turn. During
Zimbabwe’s opening
match of the 2013 World
Cup, Flower and Henry
Olonga walked onto the
ground wearing black
armbands to “mourn the
death of democracy in

Zimbabwe.” Both were
immediately dismissed
from the team and applied
for political asylum
overseas.
By 2005 the political
unrest in Zimbabwe
had led to the cricket
team’s players being
owed match fees for
three series and six
months of unpaid wages.
At this stage Ebrahim
was the players’
representative on the
players’ association
and was involved in
discussions with the
Zimbabwe Cricket board
where they offered new
contracts which Ebrahim
described as “ludicrous.”

Canty contingent among
favourites for U26 title
THERE IS a strong
Canterbury contingent
keen to make sure the
Burnside under-26 singles
bowls title does not go to
another region when it gets
under way tomorrow.
The tournament, which
highlights the cream of
New Zealand’s lawn bowls
emerging crop, will be
played at the Burnside Club
will finish on Sunday.
There are 13 current or
former New Zealand representatives
in the 32-strong
field.
Burnside’s Tayla Bruce,
who won this tournament
in 2015, represented New
Zealand at the Gold Coast
Commonwealth Games as
lead in the women’s triples
and fours.
She was awarded her first
international cap as a Black
Jack as a 19-year-old.
The 23-year-old Roydvale
Primary School teacher
has a successful record at
club, centre, national and
international level.
Bruce has the experience
and skill to repeat that
memorable win.
Another Burnside player
with strong credentials
for success is 22-year-old
Richard Hocking who was
runner-up in 2016.
Hocking was last year’s
Bowls New Zealand
development player of the
year.
He has enjoyed success
with the Canterbury senior
men’s team and in January
won the Stewart Buttar
Burnside invitation pairs
with Mike Small.
The Bassett siblings,
Cait (Burnside) and Mat
(Elmwood), and Liam
Eathorne (Riccarton
Racecourse) are all more
than capable of finishing
high up the prize list.
Other Cantabrians
are Courtney Bolger
(Rangiora) and Dylan
Campbell (Woolston Park)
who are new to this event
as well as Shaun Aynsley
(Parklands).
Gore’s Sheldon
Bagrie-Howley, the 2016
champion, will be one to
watch.
The form of Stokes Valley’s
Seamus Curtin will
be followed with great
interest.
The 18-year-old has
had a stellar year starting
at the 2018 National
Bowls Championships in
Dunedin where he reached
the semi-final of the men’s
singles and the final of the
fours.
Bowls New Zealand has
confirmed it will be sending
a talent scout to the
tournament.

being arrested to Canty role
“They went about it in quite a
cloak and dagger-type fashion
of dividing and conquering the
group. That was the one opportunity
at that stage where if we
could stand collectively as a players’
group we could have made
some significant changes. There
were issues politically, racially
and financially that were occurring
and needed intervention.
This was our opportunity for
the ICC to step in and intervene
if we didn’t sign the new contracts,”
said Ebrahim.
“It soon got to the stage where
I was cast as the villain by the
Zimbabwe Cricket Board.”
“It was a case of them causing
a divide in the playing group by
offering the contracts to younger
players and threatening them to
sign. There were cases of players
being arrested for arbitrary reasons
which was all part of their
intimidation tactics.”
After not being offered a new
contract, Ebrahim was cast aside
by Zimbabwe Cricket and left
disillusioned about the sport.
No longer employed by
Zimbabwe Cricket, Ebrahim’s
lawyer told him that until he
was paid what he was owed he
was allowed by law to hold onto
any property that belonged to
Zimbabwe Cricket.
“One of the things was our
sponsored vehicle so I held onto
that, which caused a bit of drama
in itself . . . it all came to head
one day when the police came
into the house and arrested me
and did a ransack of the property
with the view of trying to get
me on foreign currency fraud as
well.”
At this stage Ebrahim’s parents
and siblings had already immigrated
to the United Kingdom.
They first found out about his
arrest on a 24-hour news channel
which ran a strip along the
bottom of the screen about his
arrest.
Within a few months Ebrahim
himself had immigrated to the
UK and chose not to pursue
cricket after asking himself some
serious questions about why he
played the sport. He worked as a
real estate agent in North London
for two years before falling
back into cricket by chance.
“I actually sold the house of
one of the premier cricket club’s
chairman. He put two and two
together from when we had
toured England in 2003 . . . he
asked what on earth I was doing

Africa’s Shaun

selling houses and roped me into
playing for the club.”
A successful spell in England led
to Ebrahim moving to New Zealand
where he played for Taranaki
in the Hawke Cup and got his first
taste of coaching with New Plymouth
Boys’ High School.
“I found the opportunity to
give back and try and develop
the next generation of cricketers,
soon became the passion.”
“Looking back there were
some very valid lessons learned
from a life perspective. Having
conversations now with younger
guys or people in general now,
you’re able to give a different
perspective and outlook.”
Ebrahim isn’t new to Canterbury.
He has spent the last three
years working with Canterbury
A and age group teams in a high
performance role.
And while he says his Canterbury
eyepatch is now “firmly
sowed on,” he is still quick to
point out that while Zimbabwe
– formally known as Rhodesia –
have never beaten New Zealand
in test cricket, they did famously
defeat the All Blacks 10-8 in 1949
in Bulawayo.
In fact, had it not been for
cricket, Ebrahim could have
had a decent crack at a rugby
career. He played first fiveeighths
representing Zimbabwe
at under-19 level and was even
offered a scholarship at the
University of Natal through the
Sharks who now play in Super
Rugby.

There’s something I’m finding
hard to swallow that is planned
for this summer though, and it’s
leading me to believe we’re living
in the era of the gimmick.

CANTERBURY CAN lock in
a semi-final spot with a win on
Saturday when they host Taranaki
at Christchurch Stadium in week
eight of the Mitre 10 Cup.
Recent history would suggest
we’re in for an epic. Saturday
will mark exactly 12 months
from when Taranaki piled on
seven tries to claim the Ranfurly
Shield against Canterbury 55-43.
Meanwhile, in October 2016 Canterbury
held off a late Taranaki
fightback at Yarrow Stadium to
win 39-34.
Canterbury’s seven-try 49-24
thrashing of Hawkes Bay at the
weekend would also suggest
another catch me if you can-like
affair is in the making.
Taranaki are well out of the
play-off picture in the Premiership
with just two wins to their
name against Manawatu and
Counties Manukau. However,
they showed in last month’s 30-31
to Auckland they can give the
competition front-runners a scare.
With just two weeks of the competition
remaining Canterbury’s
hopes of a home semi-final will
also be shaped by this evening’s
match between third-placed
Auckland and fourth-placed Wellington.
The top four is evenly poised
with Wellington (28) just five
points behind competition leaders
Tasman (33). Canterbury (32) in
second will be hoping Wellington
can do them a favour with Auckland
(31) having a game in hand
against the rest of the top four.
Saturday’s match at
Christchurch Stadium kicks off at
7.35pm.

Russley win Woodward Cup
RUSSLEY HAVE continued
their recent dominance in
men’s golf by winning an eighth
Woodward Cup title in 10 years
on Sunday.
It turned out to be a perfect
setting for their celebration as
Russley hosted Canterbury Golf’s
inter-club finals day, where they
won three titles.
The men’s team claimed the
Woodward Cup by defeating
Templeton 6-2. Templeton, which
were looking for their first title
since 1963, were well in contention
after nine holes with Russley
holding a 4.5-3.5 advantage.
However, Russley’s contingent
asserted themselves late in
the matches to claim the title.
Russley’s Miya brothers, Hiroki
and Hayato, were both two down
after nine holes against Sam
Purdon and Jordan Latter respectively,
but recovered to both
win 2/1.
Reid Hilton, Michael McAuley,
David Kelly and Andrew Dufton
all came through with wins for
Russley, while Templeton’s Rhys
Wilson and Ryan Bellamy also
had good wins. In the Pollock
Cup final, it was one-way traffic
for the Russley women after they
had built an unassailable 5.5-0.5
lead against Pegasus after nine
holes. Pegasus’ Hillary O’Connor
came back from three down to
grab a half against New Zealand
junior representative Juliana
CHAMPIONS:
Russley

Cup in 10

Hung. But the other matches
went Russley’s way, meaning they
run out 4.5-1.5 winners. Amy
Weng, Maddie May and Mihee
Woo had big wins for Russley,
while Karen De Latour got the
sole win for Pegasus.
Russley also claimed the men’s
eight-a-side Blank Cup with a
5-3 win against Clearwater. The
scratch match-play Simon Cup
final was won by Waitikiri after
they defeated Avondale 6-2.
Pegasus Bay hosts
youth golf initiative
THE IN2 Golf Foundation will
launch a new initiative at the
Pegasus Golf Club aimed at
attracting young people to the
game.
The foundation’s fundraising
tournament will be held
on October 26 at the
club.
Two-time world long
drive champion Phillis
Meti will be the guest of
honour and will put on
a demonstration of her
power during the day,
The 2018 champion
from Auckland said she
was excited to encourage young
people to give the sport a go.
“I love how we are visiting
schools, doing a long drive demo
and explaining there are lots of
opportunities in playing golf,”
Meti said.
Phillis Meti
“There’s often pathways kids
aren’t aware of, and sometimes
these emerge from new ideas,
that may open up a world full of
possibilities.”
Accompanying Meti will be
Hamilton-based professional
Nick Coxon, who
went to the 2014 Youth
Olympics in Nanjing,
China.
Coxon will chat to the
children about his experiences
and will give a demonstration
with Meti.
Christchurch Girls’
High, Papanui High,
Rangiora High and Pegasus Bay
School are among the schools
to be visited by the pair in term
four.
Programme manager Karen
de Lautour said it was exciting to
see the initiative get under way.

GREG INGLIS will be eligible
to be returned to the Kangaroos
captaincy as soon as next year
after his first stint ended before it
began on Tuesday.
Inglis was suspended for Australia’s
tests against New Zealand
and Tonga after he was charged
with mid-range drink driving
and speeding, just hours after his
appointment was announced on
Monday morning, reported The
Sydney Morning Herald.
The 31-year-old was replaced
as captain by Sydney Roosters
premiership-winning skipper
Boyd Cordner, who also led NSW
to a rare State of Origin series
victory this year. However, it’s
understood the decision won’t
leave Inglis ineligible to resume
the role when the Kangaroos
play again at the end of next year,
allowing coach Mal Meninga
the freedom to return him to the
captaincy if he sees fit.
Meninga said in a statement he
hoped to see Inglis back in the
side next year after the left centre
had helped set up the team’s
standards charter in 2016.
“I hope to see him back in a
Kangaroos jersey next year,”
Meninga said. “Greg has been
an integral part of the team for
many years and I expect him
to be back. Greg was in fact an
integral part of the creation of
the RISE values. No one respects
those values more than Greg and
we look forward to him returning
to the team next year.
“As a result, he’s accepted the
penalty and I think he has shown
real leadership by the way he has
been accountable for his actions.”
Inglis was driving home from
the Koori Knockout tournament
in Dubbo when he was pulled
over in Lithgow and allegedly
returned a positive blood alcohol
test. He said he had felt fine to
drive after drinking the night before,
but that he had now learned
his lesson and would face court
next month.
Local
News
Now
Inglis could take back captaincy next year
Fire rages, homes at risk
Inglis accepted the suspension,
but only after earlier saying he
believed he deserved to keep
the Kangaroos captaincy in an
apologetic press conference.
“Obviously we have standards
there. I was in the meetings when
we addressed those standards in
the group a couple of years ago.
It’s disappointing from my end,”
Inglis said.
“I’ve been playing for 13 years
and I’ve never had a criminal
charge laid against me.”

Show Homes - the ultimate way to shop around
In Christchurch and the surrounding rural districts we are blessed
with an extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle featuring all the latest
in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a
way nothing else can. You can absorb
the ambiance they present, admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology all in one place, under
a roof that you may just select for your
new home.
At a show home you can ask
questions, take notes and compare them
to other builders’ presentations. You
don’t have to visualise or imagine full
scale from a photo in a glossy, you can
simply see at a glance, often instinctively,
features you like, things you would avoid
and clever innovation that you never
would have thought of.
Best of all you will see the building

QEII
collision repairs
about us...
QEII Collision Repairs was established in June 2016
by Shanel and Paul Perry after taking over an already
established Collision Repair Shop they already worked
for. So, with a change of ownership comes a lot of new
changes with the earthquake repairs all completed with
a NEW look reception area and a change of staff.
QEII Collision Repairs are active members of the
Collision Repair Association (CRA) and the Motor Trade
Association (MTA) to keep up to date with all or any
changes in the industry as required by the insurance
companies they represent whilst carrying out repairs for
their clients. You may have seen out and about some
of their fleet of “Cool Soda” coloured loan vehicles
which are FREE to use while repairs are being carried
out. Their shop is located at 302 Travis Road in North
New Brighton (opposite the new Shirley Boys/Avonside
Girls School, next to the BP) - replacing the fuel used
is always appreciated. All their trade staff have been in
the collision repair industry for over 30 years with a vast
amount of experience and absolutely enjoy what they
do and achieve as a team.
QEII Collision Repairs also give back to the community
by donating to all the local primary schools for their
“Child Safety Awareness Programmes” they run; Special
Children’s Christmas Party held at CBS Canterbury
Arena every December and the Kids Foundation.
QEII Collision Repairs LTD would like to thank the local
community for their support when having their vehicles
repaired by them. We are always open for new clients
who have not yet used our services so pop down and
meet the team!
when your
car is in need
of a repair...
It’s YOUR RIGHT to
choose the repairer
For 100 years the CRA has set the benchmark
for high-quality, safe vehicle repair
Advancements in automotive technology - in particular safety systems -
require expert knowledge to repair.
The CRA demands its members continually develop their knowledge to
meet that level to help ensure your car is as safe after the accident as it was
before.
Your insurance company may direct you to a repairer after a crash; however
it’s YOUR RIGHT to choose. Choose CRA for safety and quality assistance.
